Gai Nie suppressed all the questions that arose in his heart, and his sharp eyes carefully scanned the place where he once lived.
He turned around calmly and said to Lu Yan, who was exploring the place with curious eyes: "There are many hidden places in this ghost valley, and Gai wants to search them all."
Lu Yan nodded, indicating that he obeyed his opinion, "When searching for Guigu, I naturally put your suggestions first. I know nothing about this place."
"Follow me."
The army was stationed outside the Ghost Valley, Luo Wang and Shadow Secret Guards were scattered throughout the valley. Lu Yan and Gai Nie entered the internal organs of the valley.
Walking at the bottom of a cave deep in the mountains, the copper and iron walls of the corridor were tightly connected, and the dust that had accumulated over the years was blown away by the footsteps of the two.
"The interior of the Gui Valley Mountains has also been hollowed out. Is there still such a large space?"
Long-standing memories were rummaged through in Lu Yan's mind, and he vaguely remembered the classic anime episode about Gui Gu's decision.
In the back mountain of the Guigu sect, four hungry black tigers were imprisoned in a sealed corridor. Young Gai Nie and young Wei Zhuang were both faced with the same multiple-choice question - there was a long corridor in front of them, with the left and right ends respectively.
When a person is tied up, two hungry black tigers will be released from their cages and run towards both ends of the corridor.
No one can save two people at the same time in that situation. Wei Zhuang chose to save the next person and killed two black tigers; while Gai Nie missed the opportunity because he wanted to save two people and ultimately failed to save any one.
Leaving aside the concept of vertical and horizontal choices, the method of this trial and the location of the trial all imply that the Guigu sect is definitely not a "little sect of two people".
The Mohist Mechanism City was such a huge project. The Mohists had Mechanism skills and a large number of low-level disciples. It took three generations to build it.
Even if the Guigu Sect's internal organization is not comparable to the Mohist Organization City, it is by no means a sect with only a few elites that can be established quietly to hide from others.
Lu Yan maintained his pace and spoke to break the silence, "Brother Gai Nie, how did the previous Guigu Sect build such a secret chamber hidden deep in the mountain?"
Gai Nie shook his head slightly and said with a hint of nostalgia: "When I came to Guigu, these mechanisms already existed. I was still too obsessed with becoming stronger and ignored the mysterious and unpredictable things behind Guigu. What is still hidden?
What are you wearing?"
"Well, everyone is born under the same sky. If the so-called sect is separated from productive labor but still has a flourishing life, then there must be something wrong."
Who would have thought so much after watching anime in the past, and since he is not the author of fan fiction (Daiwu), the streamlined manpower of the Guigu faction is simply not enough to accomplish what he has accomplished in the anime.
For example, the trial of Zongheng's choice mentioned above; for example, in the Nine Songs of Heaven, Zong and Heng were directly sent to interfere with Xuanjian's revenge, disrupting Wei Yong's plan to jointly hide the sun and control Wei Wuzu. This requires a lot of attention.
Xuanjian, Wei Yong, Zhanri and the many connections in the Qin State had such accurate information that they could send their disciples to this place for trials at the right time.
Although he didn't know what Guiguzi was thinking, Lu Yan was certain that he had a hand in the deep layers of the net.
Lu Yan said pointedly: "The Guigu sect has always been famous for its small number of people, but each of them is an amazing talent. However, no one has explored how these amazing talents are selected and trained from countless people in the world.
of."
Gai Nie's eyes narrowed when he heard these words. His steps seemed to hang in the air for a moment, and then he stepped forward as if nothing had happened. "I am in the midst of blessings, but I didn't think about this level. I have been taught."
The two of them walked slowly, and while they were talking, they came to a secret room. The secret room used night pearls as the light source, and all they could see were old and dusty bamboo slips.
"This is..." Lu Yan glanced twice, waiting for Gai Nie to speak.
Gai Nie walked straight in, stopped in the middle of the secret room, closed his eyes and thought about it for a moment, and said: "This is the collection of books in Guigu. It seems that all this is true, and the traces of people left here are even more obvious."
After saying that, he took the initiative to search everywhere on the bookshelf, and found a special bamboo slip in a corner.
"This is..." Gai Nie walked over, took it out and spread it out, his eyes clearly changed, "Xiao Zhuang's handwriting, he has come back over the years."
Lu Yan asked: "What did he write down?"
Taking the scroll of bamboo slips from Gai Nie's hand, he read through the words left by Wei Zhuang.
"On a certain day in the Yimao year, Zhuang Guigu fulfilled his three-year agreement, but his senior brother Gai Nie broke the agreement, so he took away the vertical swordsmanship Hundred Steps Flying Sword sword manual and the leader's ring. Victory without fighting is not mine.
Please let us fight again one day to decide whether we will live or die."
He closed the bamboo slip and turned his gaze to Gai Nie, "In the year of Yi Mao, that is, when Korea was just destroyed, it was indeed three years since you brothers each left the army, and you didn't come back."
Gai Nie still had the same calm expression, "The battle of victory and defeat is not what I want. If Xiaozhuang wants to win, let him win."
"If you do this, I'm afraid that he will become more obsessed with the battle with you. Anyway, this is your senior brother's business. I am an outsider and it is not appropriate for me to interfere."
Lu Yan had nothing to say about the two junior brothers who fell in love and killed each other, but with Wei Zhuang's character, this bamboo slip should not be in a remote corner.
He put the bamboo slips away, walked to the place where they were placed, compared them with the other bamboo slips, and nodded slightly, "Weizhuang's letter was actually placed in such a corner. It seems that someone did stay in Guigu after that.
"
Gai Nie searched the secret room where the books were stored again and took a deep breath, "There are no other traces here. Let's go."
Lu Yan put the things back and asked, "Where to go next?"
"There are many dangerous mechanisms in the trial ground of Guigu." Ganie said as he led the way.
"How dangerous is it?"
"Neither Xiaozhuang nor I passed the final test."
Lu Yan was surprised. Neither of them passed the test when they were young. That should not be underestimated. Immediately, he discovered his blind spot again, "Failed? If you failed the dangerous test, you shouldn't be seriously injured, or simply
Is he dead?"
"Master has not allowed the two of us to enter the trial."
"..." He was speechless and didn't know what to say. It took him a while to realize what Gai Nie meant by these words, "Do you want to go through the trial this time? Are you coming with me?"
Gai Nie nodded, and the hand holding the scabbard unconsciously tightened, "That is the test for the winner to become the leader. Xiaozhuang has come back before, I don't know if he has tried it. Once, the master said that there are
The true essence of the Guigu School’s teachings.”
Lu Yan pointed at himself and asked again with confirmation: "Do you want to go through this trial with me, an outsider?"
"What is behind the existence of Ghost Valley? I have doubts about it. Compared with this problem, the view of Hufu is not worth mentioning."
Gai Nie had made up his mind, and he no longer cared about the sect's sectarian views. He urgently wanted to know the answer to the true essence of the Guigu sect's doctrine.
Seeing how determined he was, Lu Yan naturally agreed to accompany him on his adventure. He was also very curious about the true essence of this doctrine.
