Chapter 119: The Destiny Master

Chapter 119: The Destiny Master
Gu Zhuo looked at the old man and said, "Why are you asking me?"

The scruffy old man smiled and said, "Because you just walked over, you don't seem to know this group of people. A bystander can see things more clearly."

Gu Zhuo shook his head and said, "But my thoughts are not important."

Under normal circumstances, he would have left immediately after saying this and left the conversation at that.

I don't know why, but he said one more sentence at this time.

"In a situation like this, what really matters is that someone can stand up and convince the public to end this meaningless dispute."

Hearing this, the old man sighed and said, "It's a pity that people with this ability may not be willing to stand up."

Gu Zhuo said calmly: "Since you are a capable person, you must be sure to survive. Why bother getting involved in this mess and taking on unnecessary responsibilities?"

"Yes."

The old man's voice was full of emotion: "After all, if something really goes wrong, not to mention the life-threatening consequences, it will also be a huge blow to your reputation. After all, people always need someone to take responsibility for their mistakes."

Gu Zhuo smiled, his smile was as gentle as usual, and said nothing.

The old man smiled and said, "My last name is Lu, Lu Mingcheng."

Without waiting for Gu Zhuo to answer, he continued, "Let's stop here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Mingcheng turned around and left without asking Gu Zhuo's name, disappearing into the crowd.

Gu Zhuo watched him leave for a while.

Then he returned to Yu Sheng. Instead of looking for a quiet place to sit down on the boat, the two of them took the initiative to take on the responsibility of patrolling and returned to the boat.

Perhaps because the Yunmeng Lake is no longer peaceful tonight, the fog that has shrouded the water surface all year round has dissipated a lot, and the view has become much wider.

Yu Sheng glanced at Gu Zhuo and did not ask about the inheritance in a hurry, because she could see that her junior brother did not want to talk for the time being.

This world doesn't think so.

They are chirping.

"Why do I feel that your attitude towards that old man is a little strange, different from usual?"

"It's different."

"Could this old man be your dean? Did he conceal his appearance like you?"

"No."

"Then who is he?"

Gu Zhuo was silent for a while, and said in his heart: "I'm not sure, because I remember his name, but I don't know if he is the person I remember."

Halfway through his words, he turned his head to look at Yu Sheng and asked directly: "How much do you know about the Tianming Sect?"

Yu Sheng didn't expect him to suddenly ask such a question, and said, "As long as you want to know."

Gu Zhuo said: "The name of the leader of Tianming."

Yu Sheng was slightly startled when he heard this, and said honestly: "No one would ask this."

Gu Zhuo was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

"The Tianming Sect split from the Taoist Sect. All the people in the sect are Taoists, so naturally they are all called by their Taoist names."

Yu Sheng said softly, "What's more, the Tianming Sect is a demonic sect. In order to avoid revealing their identities and whereabouts and bringing disaster upon themselves, they usually refer to themselves by their Taoist names."

Gu Zhuo asked: "What is his Taoist name?"

Yu Sheng didn't answer immediately. She looked him in the eyes and said, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Gu Zhuo said calmly: "Curious."

Yu Sheng was silent for a moment, then said, "My Dao name is Yingxu."

"This man became the leader of the Tianming Sect about sixty years ago. There is very little information about his past. He is like a stone that suddenly appeared. The Sky Patrol Department once spent a lot of effort to investigate, but the result is still the same."

Then she continued, "And the reason why this person joined the Tianming Sect is because of the technique."

Gu Zhuo looked at her and said, "The Yuanshi Daodian?"

Yu Sheng hummed, and then said: "It's not a fragment, but the whole article."

Gu Zhuo was quiet for a while, then said, "What does the court speculate about his origins?"

Yu Sheng said softly, "After the battle of Xuandu, the Yuanshi Dao Canon was obtained by Daqin, and the Tiandao Sect no longer had any inheritance, so this person must have been born before that battle, otherwise there would be no possibility of cultivating the Yuanshi Dao Canon. However, the Tiantian Division investigated in this direction, but ultimately found nothing."

"Later, the Sky Patrol Department concluded that this person was a hidden player left by the Taoist master."

She paused, then added, "The reason is that after this person took over the Tianming Sect, the conflict with the Qin Dynasty became more intense, and the head of the Tianjian Division was injured because of this, and has been in seclusion to recuperate ever since."

Gu Zhuo shook his head and said, "But I remember that the Taoist master never accepted any disciples."

"So this person's origins have become an unsolved mystery to this day. After all, at his age, it is impossible for him to be the so-called reincarnation of the Taoist master like you."

Yu Sheng looked at Gu Zhuo and said casually, "Anything else you want to ask?"

"Nothing."

Gu Zhuo changed the subject naturally: "By the way, there is an embarrassing thing happening now."

Yu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Embarrassed?"

Gu Zhuo nodded sincerely.

"What do you mean?"

Yu Shengmo frowned.

Gu Zhuo turned around, pointed at the small hill made of stacked ships, and said, "The inheritance left by the Taoist master is down there."

Yu Sheng's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Are you sure?"

Gu Zhuo said: "Yes."

Yu Sheng was silent for a long time, then said, "This is too much of a coincidence."

Yunmengze is so big, why does the Taoist insist on leaving the inheritance here?

Why do people keep themselves here?
Even though the sky is extremely vast, the two birds are still bound to collide with each other.

If it wasn't destined, then someone was interfering.

…………

At this moment, countless thoughts arose in Yu Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness.

However, she remained silent, not expressing her thoughts aloud, and asked Gu Zhuo, "Was there a lot of noise?"

Gu Zhuo said: "It can't be small."

Yu Sheng thought for a moment, looked at him and suddenly said, "You are wrong."

Gu Zhuo asked: "Hmm?"

Yu Sheng said seriously: "This matter is not only embarrassing, but also very troublesome."

If this matter is not handled properly, perhaps only one in ten of the nearly three hundred practitioners present will survive.

She really didn't care whether people died or not, but she didn't like others dying because of her. It had nothing to do with responsibility, but with pride.

Yes, the reason these people came here was because Gu Zhuo wanted to take advantage of the situation, but that was just a proposal, and she was the one who actually put the proposal on paper.

……

……

For a period of time afterwards, Gu Zhuo and Yu Sheng still talked, but not much.

It was not until the two men completed their patrol mission, handed over to other practitioners, and returned to the so-called land formed by the stacked ships that they spoke a few brief words.

"Before the morning light."

Yu Sheng said: "Don't let the inheritance left by the Taoist master appear in the world."

Gu Zhuo looked at her and asked, "Is this an order?"

Yu Sheng shook his head and said, "It's a request."

Gu Zhuo nodded and said, "Okay."

Yu Sheng turned around, took two steps back, and bowed to him impeccably to express his gratitude.

Gu Zhuo deserved it, but he didn't expect her to be so serious. He said with emotion: "Remember to do the same next time."

Hearing this, Yu Sheng looked up at him and rolled his eyes more seriously.

Acting in this way, she really looked like a young girl at this moment.

Gu Zhuo burst out laughing.

Yu Sheng didn't want to pay any more attention to him, so he turned around and left, walking towards the fence, to be alone and quiet.

Of course, Gu Zhuo also has needs, but he has long been accustomed to noise and does not need quiet.

He walked towards the bustling area again and saw that people were still arguing, but their voices were much tired and weaker, and he didn't know whether this would lead to a suitable result.

It’s not all excitement.

Some practitioners used the flying sword in their hands to slice the fish into very thin slices, and ate it raw with soy sauce, taking a sip of wine from time to time. It looked delicious.

Not far away, four people moved a table and chairs out of the cabin of a ship and were playing mahjong seriously. They looked very happy.

Scenes like this are everywhere and are seen endlessly.

In the distant night sky, Taoism is still blooming like fireworks, never extinguishing for a moment.

The excitement in the venue became more and more ridiculous.

Gu Zhuo thought that this was probably what they called giving up?

He was deeply moved and quite puzzled by this, but respectful.

Just then, someone slowly walked up to him.

It was the old man I had talked to not long ago.

I don’t know why, this person was clearly walking out of the crowd, but no one noticed him, as if he was in another world.

Gu Zhuo said: "You seem to be very interested in me."

Lu Mingcheng smiled and said honestly: "It's mainly because someone told me something about you. To be precise, it was a sentence. This made me very curious about you."

Gu Zhuo said: "For example?"

Lu Mingcheng did not respond, and said to himself: "I didn't expect to see you in Yunmengze."

"I believe in chance, in the so-called providence of God, and even more in destiny."

The old man's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said slowly, "I originally wanted to come out later because Yunmengze gave me a bad feeling. It was like a tomb with a coffin ready, just waiting for me to sleep in it, so I wanted to take a closer look, but your appearance changed my decision."

Gu Zhuo sighed and said, "I shouldn't have come here."

When he said this, his tone rarely revealed regret, no longer as calm as usual.

Lu Mingcheng smiled and said, "Let's get back to the point. What that person told me is that you are the reincarnation of the Taoist master."

Gu Zhuo's expression remained unchanged, as if he had only heard the person next to him shout "Hu Le", rather than his own identity being exposed.

He asked: "Now I am very curious about who told you this news."

There are only a handful of people in the entire Qin Dynasty who know about this.

The White Emperor and His Royal Highness the Princess Royal.

That lady.

Who else?
Lu Mingcheng shook his head and said, "People must be honest, so I can't tell you."

Gu Zhuo calmly accepted this reason, then he turned and looked into the old man's eyes, which were clear of any cloudiness, and said, "Then let's change the question."

"for example……"

Lu Mingcheng stretched out his right hand, pointed at himself with his index finger, and asked, "Who am I?"

Gu Zhuo said: "Yeah."

Lu Mingcheng smiled slightly and said honestly: "I have many names. Some people are used to calling me Yingxu, but more people in this world prefer to call me the leader, the leader of the Tianming Sect."
