Outside Guangning Mansion, when Gu Cheng walked away, Jin Fengqi said anxiously: "General Lin, what should we do? I am a member of Jingyesi after all, so I can't disobey orders."
Lin Tengyun squinted his eyes and said: "Why are you panicking? Just go with him. Isn't it okay if you don't work hard?
Don't tell me you can't even control your own men.
You might as well go and see what Gu Cheng is up to.
To be honest, I can't see through this Gu Cheng. He wants to attack the Ghost King Sect when he comes up. He knows that you and I are resisting him but he still wants to take action. Where do you think he has the confidence? Is this guy really crazy or just pretending to be stupid?
?
By the way, didn't Grandma Long have someone ambush Gu Cheng before? Could it be that she didn't succeed? Go find Grandma Long's people and ask her to use voodoo to contact Lan Qier."
Miao's Gu magic has always been strange. Even Grandma Long, who is the master of the Miao witch lineage, doesn't know how many Gus there are in the entire Miao territory.
There are even some Gu insects that are born purely by accident and cannot be copied at all.
Therefore, the practitioners in the Central Plains choose to use formations to communicate with each other, while the Gu masters in the Miao border choose to use various Gu insects.
Needless to say, Lin Tengyun said that after Grandma Long sensed that the Gu worms in Lan Qier's body had arrived in Guangnan County, she immediately used the Gu worms to contact Lan Qier.
At this time, in the camp where they were just stationed, Lan Qier was the only woman among Gu Cheng and others, so she had a separate tent.
A gray, caterpillar-like insect crawled into the tent quietly. Lan Qier seemed to feel something in her heart and immediately turned her gaze to the caterpillar.
The next moment, the caterpillar began to change and shed its skin, and two fly-like wings emerged. The most terrifying thing was that the insect's head actually evolved into a human head, like a ferocious old woman.
The human-headed bug screamed strangely, but in Lan Qier's ears, it turned into Grandma Long's voice.
"You bitch! Why did you let Gu Cheng arrive in Guangnan County safely before you succeeded?"
Lan Qier suddenly trembled. Although she had chosen to be Gu Cheng's internal correspondent, Long Lao Lao had accumulated power for a long time. Even just hearing Long Lao Lao's voice made her unconsciously feel a sense of fear.
"Grandma, forgive me. It's not that I didn't try my best, but that Gu Cheng was not tempted by me at all."
Grandma Long's voice was filled with doubt: "Is there any man who can't resist your temptation?"
Lan Qier said aggrievedly: "Actually, Gu Cheng was also moved, but he didn't dare to act.
What Gu Cheng practiced turned out to be the Buddhist Boy's Kung Fu, which required him to maintain a pure Yang body. He must not break Yuan Yang before the technique was completed.
So he didn't doubt me and kept me by his side as a maid, but he didn't choose to touch me.
Grandma Mingjian, how can Gu Cheng be a high-ranking official in the imperial court at such an age and be valued by the emperor? How could he give up his current cultivation level for the sake of women?"
Grandma Long had no doubts about Lan Qier's words, because it was indeed possible.
Buddhist Kung Fu is pretentious, and there are many people who need to maintain a pure Yang body. And according to the information, he has indeed practiced Buddhist Kung Fu.
In addition, since he has such strength at such a young age, the exercises he practices must have various restrictions, which is normal.
So Grandma Long snorted coldly and said, "If you don't succeed this time, try a few more times. Even if it doesn't work, you must always pass on the news about Gu Cheng."
Lan Qier quickly said: "I understand, grandma."
The human-headed monster flew away silently, and some golden butterflies with transparent wings flew out of Lan Qier's body. They circled around the tent and made sure that there were no Gu insects from Grandma Long around.
She got up and went to find Gu Cheng and told Gu Cheng that Grandma Long came to see her.
Gu Cheng squinted his eyes and said, "Well done, if Grandma Long comes again, you can pass on some irrelevant information to her."
At this time, in Guangning Mansion, Lin Tengyun and Jin Fengqi also received the news from Grandma Long, and both of them had strange expressions on their faces.
This Gu Cheng actually practices boy skills?
Lin Tengyun suddenly sighed and said: "It's difficult to deal with."
Jin Fengqi asked in surprise: "Why is it so difficult to practice the boy's skill?"
Lin Tengyun said in a deep voice: "What do we as practitioners seek? Is it the illusory immortality? In fact, to put it more vulgarly, it is nothing more than waking up to hold the power of the world and lying drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman.
But Gu Cheng is able to practice the Boy's Kung Fu, plus he is still so young, holds a high position and has such determination. Do you think such a person is an easy person?
The more you deal with such people, the more careful you must be."
Jin Fengqi frowned and said, "Then the Ghost King Sect won't really get into trouble this time, right?"
Lin Tengyun shook his head and said, "You're worrying too much. With just a few people like Gu Cheng, I'm afraid you won't be able to touch the Ghost King Sect.
Although the ghost-refining lineage is now in decline, it has not declined to this extent.
Then Old Ghost Chen still has some tricks up his sleeve, not to mention the person behind the Ghost King Sect. He is the key to allowing the Ghost King Sect to stand in the southwest for more than two hundred years.
This time you follow Gu Cheng to the Ghost King Sect. Although you have to work hard, don't go too far.
If Gu Cheng is in crisis, you must save him as soon as possible. Even if Old Ghost Chen turns against us in the future, you cannot let him die like this in the Ghost King Sect."
Jin Fengqi frowned and said, "Are we going to save Gu Cheng?"
Lin Tengyun snorted coldly: "Gu Cheng, as the supervisor of the four counties, was killed by the Ghost King Sect just after he came to my four southwest counties. And I haven't taken action yet. You are just standing by and watching. What are you doing?"
This is a slap in the face of the imperial court!
Once things get serious, the imperial court may take serious action and send elites from Western Xinjiang and Northern Territory to pacify Southwest Xinjiang. By then, everyone will be in trouble!
So Gu Cheng can die, but he will either die before entering the southwest or die after the incident. Anyway, he must not die at this time!"
Jin Fengqi nodded and immediately ran out to gather people.
Lin Tengyun shook his head. If there was still a chance, he would not want to continue to cooperate with an idiot like Jin Fengqi. The other party was too low in terms of strength and scheming, and he even had to teach him how to do things himself.
Of course, if you think about it from another direction, how could a truly capable governor come to this ghost place in the southwest, and how could he cooperate with him once he came?
An hour later, Jin Fengqi brought all his subordinates as promised.
But when he saw the twenty or thirty crooked Xuanjia guards under his command, Gu Cheng's expression suddenly turned cold: "Master Jin, are you kidding me?
Are these the ‘elite’ under your command in Guangnan County?”
Jin Fengqi put on a helpless look and vomited his bitterness: "Mr. Gu, you were born in the capital, and you have been in contact with all the elites in Jingyesi. How do you know the difficulties of a small frontier place like ours?
There are many ghosts and demons in the southwest, and there are endless evil cultivators of leftist ways, so a large number of Xuanjia Guards are needed to suppress them.
Now you ask me to transfer people immediately, where can I find so many people for you in such a short time?"
Gu Cheng looked at the other party deeply and said calmly: "Since Mr. Jin has difficulties, forget it. I will understand you, Mr. Jin."
Hearing what Gu Cheng said, Jin Fengqi smiled proudly, obviously thinking that Gu Cheng could not do anything to him.
The Ghost King Sect's sect is located on the edge of Guangnan County, near the mountains in the southwest.
This is an ancient battlefield. Five hundred years ago, Daqian wiped out the southwest region and experienced a great battle here. More than 100,000 people were killed and injured on both sides. There were mountains of corpses and Yin Qi gathered for hundreds of years. This was why the Ghost King Sect regarded it as... station.
There is not even a state village around this place, and it is even regarded as a forbidden area by the people of Nanzhao County. Only the Ghost King Sect built a city here called Yin Ghost City.
As soon as Gu Cheng and others stepped into the thirty-mile radius of Yin Ghost City, there was no trace of vitality and greenery around them. There was yellow and black earth everywhere, gray dead branches, and even the air was full of greenery. There was a thick mist, and there was a faint smell of corpses in the mist.
When Gu Cheng and others finally arrived at the Yin Ghost City, a giant city of white bones appeared in front of them.
This is a city built by the people of the Ghost King Sect who dug up the bones from the ancient battlefield. It is pale and condensed with deep Yin energy and ghost energy.
At this moment, Yin Qi surged in Yin Ghost City, and hundreds of figures in black robes suddenly appeared on the walls of Yin Fire City.
An old man in the lead said in a hoarse and unpleasant voice like a night owl: "Master Gu, the supervisor of the four southwest counties of Jingyesi, is here. I am not expecting you at a distance, but I am surprised.
But there are always more dead people than living people in my ghost city, so what’s the purpose of Lord Gu coming here?”
The old man's tone was gloomy, almost saying that Gu Cheng and others were looking for death.
The old man in front of him is Chen Feng, the leader of the Ghost King Sect, ‘Old Ghost of Nanshan’.
This person was originally a non-traditional cultivator. In his early years, he was just a non-conformist character. He was even a non-conformist existence among the low-level left-field cultivators.
As a result, he got an unknown opportunity and accidentally entered a ghost realm in the mountains of the southwest and came out alive. He brought out a very powerful ghost and killed the original heir of the Ghost King Sect.
But the great thing about this old ghost lies in his mind.
In order to escape the pursuit of the Ghost King Sect, he actually came to the Ghost King Sect to surrender, and swore an inner demon oath to join the Ghost King Sect, and was willing to die for the Ghost King Sect in place of the murdered Ghost King Sect disciple.
I didn’t expect that this trick would actually work even though I was about to die.
How could a sect like the Ghost King Sect be cold-blooded and ruthless? How could there be any friendship between the same sect? Since Chen Feng killed the guy before, it proved that he was stronger than that guy.
Wouldn't it be a good deal to trade a piece of trash for a stronger disciple?
Therefore, Chen Feng naturally joined the Ghost King Sect and has now become the sect leader.
