Chapter 107 The Immortal Weapon is about to reappear in the world

This is one reason, but it is not the only reason.

What is Star Frost?

It's nothing more than the word "time".

The martial art created by Bai Nanming, which was derived from the frost catastrophe of all things, abandoned its cruelty and aggression, and only sought one thing - to be the enemy of time.

The moment Gu Zhuo saw the Star Frost Tribulation, he was certain that even if this technique could not solve the biggest problem he was facing at the moment, it could at least alleviate the time it took for this problem to come about.

This was enough reason for him to abandon the Yuanshi Dao Canon and decide to practice Planetary Frost Tribulation.

More importantly, he could avoid doing something extremely detrimental to his moral character - he no longer had to take the huge risk of falling out with the Bai family and go to Baidi Mountain to intercept the true meaning of the Frosty Sky of All Things lingering there.

Therefore, Star Frost Tribulation is undoubtedly the most suitable technique for him.

Even if the Yuanshi Taoist Canon is extremely mysterious, compared with this, it can be discarded.

Moreover, Yu Sheng's gaze never really left him, and there was always a hint of doubt in the depths of her eyes.

"I also think the name Xingshuang Jie is very good."

Yu Sheng spoke softly, said no more, and closed his eyes to practice.

Gu Zhuo likes this quietness very much.

The two of them didn't speak again. They each practiced in peace, using the years to cultivate this most advanced martial art in the world that was meant to defeat time.

The night gradually deepened. After all, Yangzhou City was not the capital of gods, and inevitably became quiet as time passed. Everything was silent.

At some point after an unknown amount of time, a voice from heaven and earth suddenly rang in Gu Zhuo's heart.

"Your senior sister just left."

Gu Zhuo didn't open his eyes and answered calmly: "Can you help me keep an eye on her? It's best not to let her notice anything."

This request seemed somewhat difficult, which made those voices helpless. After discussing it for a long time, they still could not give a clear answer, just like the changeable climate in the south of Daqin.

Gu Zhuo added: "Just do your best."

He knew who Yu Sheng was, so he wouldn't be too demanding, because that would be unreasonable.

"no problem!"

The sounds of all things leaped with joy, as if a little girl had successfully solved a difficult problem on the blackboard.

Gu Zhuo thought that the customs of the world were indeed different.

……

On the same night, at the ancestral home of the Wan family.

No longer the patio that welcomes the starlight, this conversation taking place in the thick night is quite reasonably located in a dimly lit room.

"I have a few things to tell you."

The head of the Wan family looked at Wan Shoukang and said seriously, "First of all, you must not listen to your aunt's words. She is arrogant and domineering. She always thinks that only the emperor is worthy of her respect. We tolerate her and don't refute her just because she is our elder. That's all. It doesn't mean that this is the fact."

Wan Shoukang frowned, thinking to himself, "I'm not an idiot, how could I not understand this?" He patiently said, "Of course I know this."

"Then, we must find out the identities of the two people who came to Chaotian Sword Palace as soon as possible. We can use the method that my aunt told us tonight, but we must be extremely careful and cautious and must not let the matter get out of hand."

The head of the Wan family hesitated for a moment and said seriously, "If the eldest aunt can't restrain herself and insists on showing her usual arrogant and unreasonable attitude and making things worse... then I'll have to trouble you to stop her."

He paused, then added: "We must stop it no matter what."

Wan Shoukang's expression changed slightly, and then he realized the real purpose of the head of the family coming to talk to him tonight.

Among the current middle-aged generation of the Wan family, he has the best relationship with the old lady. The other few people have more or less estrangements with the old lady and are not as harmonious as they seem on the surface.

Then, Wan Shoukang realized that in this conversation, the word "low-key" had never been said but was implied in the words, so he finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been lingering in his mind for many days.

"The Demon Lord's inheritance is certainly important, but it's not like there haven't been instances of his inheritance reappearing in the world in the past hundred years. They are all inheritances, and they are all directly related to the Demon Lord. Why are we so cautious now? What exactly is in the inheritance? Why do all the people and forces who know about this matter keep it a secret?"

The Wan family's Patriarch was silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "Actually, I'm not sure either."

Wan Shoukang thought, "Are you treating me like an idiot?" He said angrily, "Just for an uncertain matter, you are willing to offend Pei Jinge? With that woman's temperament..."

The words stopped abruptly.

The head of the Wan family looked at him and continued what he had said before, "But it must be a Taoist treasure, and it is even very likely to be an immortal weapon."

Wan Shoukang suddenly opened his eyes wide, was stunned for a long time, and asked in a trembling voice: "Could it be... that bell?"

The most precious Taoist treasure that is directly related to the Demon Lord and is also an immortal weapon is undoubtedly the Morning and Evening Bell.

If what the Taoist Master left in the Yunmeng Ancient Lake was really the Morning and Evening Bell, then all the current caution, solemnity and low-keyness were reasonable. As long as they could get this immortal weapon, what would it matter if they offended Pei Jinge?
"Not sure yet."

The head of the Wan family shook his head and said, "But judging from the reaction of the Tianming Sect, it must be a treasure of this level."

The Tianming Sect was inherited from the Tiandao Sect a hundred years ago. In the past hundred years, it has been its mission to recover the heritage that was left in various places in the world when the sect mountain collapsed. For this, it has set off countless bloody storms, second only to the lives they paid when they were enemies with the Qin Dynasty. Wan Shoukang was silent, not knowing what to say.

The head of the Wan family looked into his eyes and said slowly, "Now, not only us and the Tianming Sect, but all the forces that know the truth are trying to keep a low profile and are unwilling to publicize this matter. This is because once the gods know about this, there will be no room for others to share a share, because this is definitely something that deserves the emperor's personal intervention."

Wan Shoukang suddenly recalled the last words left by Gu Zhuo.

——If I tell it, everyone here will die.

If the two people today did not come from Chaotian Sword Palace, but were His Majesty the Emperor and the Princess, then everything would seem to make sense?
Thinking of this, his expression became extremely heavy, even though he knew that his guess was totally unreasonable.

"I have one last question."

Wan Shoukang looked at his brother and asked solemnly, "If the Taoist master really left behind the Morning and Evening Bell, and this bell happens to fall into our hands, can we really keep it?"

The more he spoke, the more worried he became, and his tone became more tense: "What if the Destiny Cult fails and announces the existence of the Dawn and Dusk Bell to the world? You must know that it is a crime to possess a treasure."

The head of the Wan family could understand this nervous feeling very well because he had experienced it himself, but he still firmly believed that this was an extremely boring and stupid question.

What made him deeply regretful was that he had to explain this issue more than once, and almost everyone in his family who knew the truth of the matter could not help but express this concern to him.

"Why worry?"

He said calmly, "The Wan family is not a traitor. Our elders were meritorious officials who served the emperor a hundred years ago. Even if this matter is exposed to the light of day, as long as we send the Morning and Evening Bell directly, with His Majesty's broad mind, will he sentence the whole family to death?"

Wan Shoukang shook his head and said honestly, "Your Majesty is a saint who wants to be remembered in history, so he would not do such a thing. For such merits, Your Majesty should be generously rewarded."

The head of the Wan family said, "If that's the case, then what is there to worry about? What we should really worry about are the evil heretics like the Tianming Sect. If the Morning and Evening Bell falls into the hands of Your Majesty, their lives will only become more difficult."

Having said this, Wan Shoukang no longer had any doubts.

He took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe away the sweat that inadvertently seeped out of his forehead, and said in a low voice: "Please rest assured, brother, I will never leak this matter. Even if it is unfilial... I will take good care of my aunt."

The head of the Wan family appreciated the two words in his words, patted his shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Remember, we are the party with the most retreat in this matter, because we are backed by the Qin Dynasty, so don't be too nervous, keep a low profile as much as possible, and then do things normally."

……

Still this night.

A secret letter was delivered to the barracks of the Qin border army and was directly placed on the desk in front of the general.

There were only a few simple words on the letter, which probably meant to ask the general named Xian Yishu to pay more attention to Yunmeng Guze, and to focus on the Wan family to see what they were going to do. All of this had to be kept secret.

The tone of these sentences is condescending, without any euphemistic request, and they are straightforward.

Logically speaking, a person of such high position and power as Xian Yishu would have frowned in displeasure when seeing this letter, but he did not.

The general with a simple appearance had a serious expression on his face.

Because there was a private seal on the letter.

That private seal symbolizes the eldest princess.

……

The abandoned house.

At some point, Yu Sheng had returned quietly, sitting in meditation and continuing his practice, as if he had never really left.

Gu Zhuo cooperated very well and made himself look like he knew nothing, not bringing any embarrassment to his nephew.

This was not because he had already known Yu Sheng's whereabouts, nor was it because even if he didn't know it, he could guess that the other party must be preparing for what was going to happen next, just in case.

Instead, he was communicating with the world here and discussing a problem together.

A question that caused all the current problems.

The dean of Changzhou Academy...where is he now?
As long as this person can be found, even if he is unwilling to admit that Gu Zhuo is the best student in the history of Changzhou Academy and is unwilling to give any convenience for this, it can solve certain problems.

For example, the Taoist master probably left something in Yunmeng Ancient Lake.

"You still haven't discovered it?"

Gu Zhuo asked silently.

Heaven and earth have voices.

The bright moon is the best, it makes me feel helpless and rarely annoyed.

"Go take a look at that portrait yourself. I don't even know who painted it. Does the painter have a blood feud with the dean?"

"Can there really be someone in this world who is so ugly and featureless?"

"Who can find the person based on that portrait?"
