As the old man talked, he subconsciously smiled with disdain.
"What's even more shameful is that even various Taoist scriptures have been re-edited by these people, completely erasing all news about the Gu family.
The Xia family relied on Fangshanfang as the basis to reorganize the imperial military division and finally subdued the injustices from all directions."
Xu Luo couldn't help but was speechless when he heard this. Together with the prestigious imperial soldiers and exorcism departments, they are closely related to Gu Mansion.
It can even be said that it is only by standing on the bones of the Gu family that we can develop and grow. This is so true that even an outsider like him feels sorry for it.
Xu Luo asked subconsciously.
"After so many years, does the Gu family really have no backup plan left?"
"When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs be completed? The situation at that time was such that no matter how many backup methods were available, what would happen?"
The old man Shu's expression became a little meaningful, and he looked at Xu Luo carefully and strangely for a few times, as if he was confirming something, and then hesitated for a moment.
"Back then, the old man was just a book spirit, and he couldn't protect himself in the face of such horrific natural disasters. But back then, the Reformed sect had so many talented people that it was impossible to just sit back and wait for death..."
Having said this, he looked a little hesitant, but did not continue.
Xu Luo heard the hesitation in his words and knew that this bad old man probably didn't quite believe in him.
However, he did not try to persuade him again. He came to rescue Gu Siyan not only for the reward that Yu Xiuguang had promised, but also because of the girl Xi Xi.
If things go smoothly for the Reformed Church, he doesn't mind helping, but if others don't trust him, he doesn't have the habit of being hot-tempered and cold-hearted.
"Senior has been in the headquarters for so many years and controls all the talisman messages. Isn't there anything he can do about the Demon Suppression Tower?"
Seeing his constipated expression, Xu Luo simply changed the topic.
The old man looked stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at the familiar scenery around him that he had long been tired of seeing, with a wry smile on his face.
"You, too, think too highly of the old man.
To put it nicely, this library is my companion, but in fact, to me, it is just a huge cage.
Not to mention the powerful city-protecting talisman array, but also the Aiki ancestors stationed at the Demon Suppression Tower. If they were to carry it one-on-one, I'm afraid they would be no match and their strength would be inferior to others. What would I do?
"
Xu Luo took a long breath, as if he wanted to spit out the disappointment in his heart, and forced a smile.
"Senior has done enough over the years. In this case, junior will not bother you anymore."
At this point, he paused and his tone became firm again.
"However, everything in this world is always determined by human actions. If Gu Sizheng still encounters an unexpected event after trying his best, I will have a clear conscience."
He was a little depressed, so he didn't notice the strange expression on Old Man Shu's face after hearing these words.
It wasn't until Xu Luo sighed helplessly again after he finished speaking that Old Shu showed a relieved smile.
"Where did you hear that Gu Siyan was in fear of his life?"
Xu Luo's eyes widened suddenly, and he almost suspected that he had heard wrongly. No matter whether it was the Xia family or the Yu family who was behind Gu Siyan's robbery, would he still be rewarded?
"hey-hey……"
The old man Shu was so happy that he laughed strangely, which to Xu Luo's ears was a naked mockery.
Seeing that his face was getting darker and darker, the old man stopped his laughter and sneakily came over.
"You stupid boy are really stupid. If those people want to kill Gu Siyan, they still have to wait until they are captured and brought to the capital to reward him. Is it possible that this place is a geomantic treasure and the killing will be easier?"
Xu Luo was stunned for a moment, yes, why is this?
Only those whose brains are caught in the door would think that the Yu and Xia families are all mentally retarded. How could they do such an unintelligent thing?
Thinking of Old Man Shu's strange expression, an idea flashed in Xu Luo's mind and he blurted it out subconsciously.
"They don't dare to kill!"
The old man laughed again, but this time his smile was full of emotion and a trace of pride and reserve.
"That's right, despicable guys like them don't dare! Since you are familiar with Gu Siyan, you must have met that little girl Xi Xi?"
Xu Luo muttered to himself, he is not a small person, I just saw him in person a few days ago.
But he could only think about such dirty thoughts in his mind, but on the surface they were all connected.
"Of course we know each other. In fact, this gold-edged talisman was given to me by Xixi!"
The old man Shu had a look of surprise on his face, and then a look of jealousy.
"Oh, that's it. Judging from what you've done in Zhenjing City these days, it's obvious that you're not a righteous person who would hurt your friends.
Tsk tsk, it turns out that I came to save people because of my little lover!"
Although his words were full of ridicule, his attitude towards Xu Luo was obviously a bit closer, and he seemed to truly treat him as his own junior.
Seeing that Xu Luo couldn't laugh or cry, but didn't refute, Old Man Shu seemed to finally relax and his face became extremely solemn.
"You don't have to worry about Gu Siyan's life. As long as Palace Master Gu's death is not confirmed for a day, those idiots won't dare to really do something!"
What is this all about?
Xu Luo also became cautious, knowing that he was about to come into contact with the core truth.
A look of reminiscence flashed in Old Man Shu's eyes, and he spoke in a deep voice after a long while.
"Back then, Palace Master Gu gave birth to a pair of twin daughters. The elder sister was named Gu Qinglan and the younger sister was named Gu Qingyan.
Everyone thought that the two sisters had died as a result of divine punishment, but in fact only Miss Yan failed to escape, while my sister Qinglan escaped by chance..."
A bolt of lightning seemed to explode in Xu Luo's mind, illuminating all his doubts.
So it turns out that Gu Qingyan should be Xiaoyan from Baili Valley, and Gu Qinglan who disappeared without a trace...could he be the Laner that Qin Xuanji mentioned?
"After Ms. Lan escaped, her whereabouts have remained a mystery.
But the old man knew that Gu Siyan's ability to break through the Aiki at the most critical moment of the war, and that the Reformed sect was able to move all its forces to the borders of Jiehai must be closely related to Miss Lan.
Otherwise, do you really think that the Yu and Xia families would not dare to eradicate the problem and would allow the Reformed faction to cultivate and grow in the border areas?
It’s just that these things are only known to those few immortals a hundred years ago. Now that they are all leaders of major forces, who would tell others about their own scandals?”
Wow, what a great show!
Could it be that Gu Siyan is still Gu Changsheng's quick son-in-law, but he's not the right age at that!
A look of understanding appeared on Xu Luo's face but then froze, and he subconsciously spoke out his thoughts.
“Old cows eat young grass?”
The old man Shu was stunned at first, but then he understood and his expression was really wonderful.
He looked at Xu Luo, who was smiling with a smile on his face, clenching his fists tightly, as if he wanted to beat Xu Luo to death but was afraid of being beaten to death by him.
Xu Luo also knew that Old Man Shu was deeply owed by the Gu family, so this sentence was indeed a bit frivolous and inappropriate. He immediately nodded and bowed to apologize.
"I'm sorry, it's the junior who has dirty thoughts. Senior, please don't take it to your heart. Don't take it to your heart."
The old man glared at him angrily, but still explained helplessly.
"Miss Lan has never forgotten the great feud of the Gu family. If she has children and grandchildren, why can't she follow her surname Gu? What a bastard, where did you think you were?"
This time Xu Luo learned his lesson and sat there obediently, listening attentively. Only then did Old Shu look a little gentler and continued.
"Gu Siyan married Miss Lan's only daughter Gu Xunyan. According to the rules set by Miss Lan, Gu Xixi's little girl should be called Gu Xixi!
It's just to cover up people's eyes and prevent the leakage of his identity, so he took the surname Gu after Gu Siyan."
After a pause, the old man looked like he was smiling but not smiling.
"Tell me, do cowardly gangsters like Gu Siyan dare to kill him?"
Xu Luo didn't speak for a while, recalling in his mind the painful memories of meeting the white-haired man, or perhaps I should say the painful memories of Gu Changsheng.
You must know that it was just the incarnation of Gu Changsheng's spiritual consciousness, but it had already tortured Xu Luo so much back then.
Then if he was really not dead, how terrifying would his physical cultivation be?
As he thought about it, Xu Luo inexplicably felt that Gu Xixi's figure suddenly grew taller in his mind, as if there was a gigantic and boundless figure looming over Xiao Nizi.
Damn it, can you still flirt with someone who has someone behind you?
It seems that not long ago, someone admired a picture of a beautiful woman taking a bath. Will he be beaten to death in the future?
Bah, Xu Luo sternly gave up this ominous idea. He immediately turned off the live broadcast at that time. It should be fine!
Seeing his changeable expression, Mr. Shu thought that he couldn't accept so much information at the moment, so he couldn't help but comfort him.
"However, although those people do not dare to kill Gu Siyan, they will definitely not make it easy for him. If you really have a way, it would be better to rescue him as soon as possible."
Xu Luo suppressed his random thoughts and smiled bitterly.
"But as you always said, this city is like a piece of iron.
This junior has finally figured it out. Even though the various forces in the capital usually fight to the death, once it comes to matters related to the Gu family, they almost have the same position and can we fight against the enemy together?"
The old man nodded helplessly.
"That's right, and this is the most important reason why I look down on these people.
These bastards can even defend the Gu Mansion better than those weird and evil things outside the city that want to eat people. What do you think this is? They are really a bunch of courageless bandits, bah!"
The old man was chattering there, full of anger.
But Xu Luo didn't think there was any surprise. Isn't this the normal thinking of elites?
Next, Xu Luo asked about the defense layout of the capital and the node distribution of the talisman formation. The old man Shu knew everything.
But Xu Luo didn't find anything to exploit in it.
This time, he didn't feel any disappointment. It was impossible for the Panshi Defense Line to single-handedly attack the enemy camp and happen in the capital city.
The old man may have been locked up in the library for too long, but this time he finally found someone who could talk, and he almost kept nagging.
When he started cursing the various forces in the capital for being unworthy of a human son for the seventh time, Xu Luo finally said goodbye.
He ignored the pleading look from the old man and walked quickly downstairs. As soon as he reached the wooden stairs, something suddenly occurred to him and he suddenly turned around and asked.
"Senior, do you know who will be on duty at the Demon Suppression Tower after Zhao Yunyang's death?"
"Hu Taijun of the Li family!"
Old Man Shu blurted out subconsciously, thinking that Xu Luo had changed his mind and was going to have a good chat with him again.
