Chapter 121: Concealing the truth
Chapter 121: Concealing the truth
This was destined to be an extremely long night.
Although the appearance of the Lord of Destiny is still unknown to the world, all the forces that have long coveted the inheritance of the Lord of Dao are rushing to the depths of Yunmengze in different ways, because there is a dream there that makes them intoxicated.
How can you know that you have become a guest in the dream before you wake up?
Yu Sheng had never had such a dream before, so he woke up naturally.
Then she realized more clearly that the current situation was a dead end.
No one here has entered the state of Nirvana, so no one can truly confront Taoist Yingxu - Pei Jinge has cultivated a Taoist temple, so she is naturally more powerful than Qing Xiaoyue, and she will not fall into the black and white world at the first sight, but she can't be his opponent either.
No matter how many people come, it will be of no avail as long as they do not cross that high threshold.
Thinking of this, her gaze fell on Gu Zhuo. There was no meaningless blame or anger in her eyes, only calm questioning.
Whether it's a good way or a bad way.
In short, you should think of a solution first.
This is what Yu Sheng’s eyes meant.
Gu Zhuo understood.
So he returned the look.
If even you can't do anything to me, what can I do? Can I still beat him?
You think too highly of me.
Yu Sheng asked again.
Before you made this decision, didn't you ever think that he would be here?
Gu Zhuo responded sincerely.
It really has nothing to do with whether I make this decision or not. As long as I leave Shendu, he will definitely come to meet me.
Yu Sheng was speechless.
Gu Zhuo is right, but please forgive him and ask again.
You never thought he would come here?
Yu Sheng answered calmly.
I have thought about it, but neither the Sky Patrol nor the border troops have ever reported any relevant information. I can't just use his existence as the basis for everything, otherwise I would not come to Yangzhou City.
Gu Zhuo had nothing to say but sigh.
It turns out that it was all due to the Sky Patrol’s dereliction of duty.
Yu Sheng confirmed this with his eyes.
The two of them exchanged glances, and in the process of several changes of eye contact, they silently exchanged their opinions with each other.
This seems secretive and unnoticeable, but in fact it all fell into the old man's eyes, but he really couldn't understand the meaning of it.
As for why not interrupt?
Because it's fun, of course.
"It looks like you've finished talking."
Seeing that the two stopped exchanging glances, Lu Mingcheng smiled and asked curiously, "Did you come to any conclusion?"
Gu Zhuo said: "No."
"Have no idea."
Yu Sheng said calmly, pulling over a chair and sitting down with a nonchalant expression.
Gu Zhuo glanced at her and thought, you are still pretending to be so serious, aren't you afraid that you will be recognized and killed on the spot?
Lu Mingcheng sighed, "It's boring to chat like this."
Yu Sheng stated in an objective tone: "Everyone present here is not someone you can reunite with after a long separation to reminisce about your youth. Everything that should be talked about has already been talked about. How can the conversation be interesting?"
The words are true.
Just as she had said to Gu Zhuo not long ago, the origins of this leader of the Destiny Sect remains a mystery.
Since it is a mystery, who can be sure that they have a common past with this mystery?
Lu Mingcheng raised his gray eyebrows, his disapproval was very obvious.
The old man stretched out his right hand, and the tip of his index finger pointed at the four people playing mahjong not far away, and said, "These four people are also casual acquaintances. Aren't they living an interesting life?"
Gu Zhuo said: "It's not easy to play mahjong with three people."
Yu Sheng looked at him and said, "Then do you want to eat first?"
Gu Zhuo corrected, "It's time for supper now." Yu Sheng rolled his eyes at him.
Gu Zhuo accepted it calmly, not taking it seriously, and asked, "What's the situation with that person?"
The person in the words was Qing Xiaoyue.
After breaking free from the black and white world, the chief of the Sky Patrol Department has remained where he is until this moment, neither coming nor going.
"I have a grudge against him."
The old man smiled, a very honest smile, and said, "I have always wanted to kill him before, but I never found the opportunity. I didn't expect that he would come to me tonight."
Gu Zhuo raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Then why don't you do it?"
Yu Sheng said: "I guess I don't want to affect my appetite."
Gu Zhuo suddenly realized: "So that's it."
The old man looked at them with a half-smile.
The two people, who were not silent in the past, became particularly talkative tonight. This was certainly not because their temperaments had suddenly changed, but because they were too aware of the current situation.
"If killing people affects my appetite, then I would have not eaten for most of my life."
The old man smiled and said, "But I won't kill him for now. Since people like this can't be killed instantly, it would be troublesome to kill them more often. It would be bad if it disrupted my plan."
Hearing these words, Qing Xiaoyue, who was standing far away, remained expressionless, but his heart finally relaxed a little.
As they were talking, Gu Zhuo had already walked to the side and spent money to buy three seats, and a table of new dishes arrived soon after.
The three of them took their seats one after another.
There is wine on the table.
The old man poured himself a drink, without trying to persuade others to drink, and said to himself, "There will be quite a few people coming here tonight, and their realms will not be too low. They must have a unity, and there will be quite a few who are pure."
Gu Zhuo said: "Then?"
"Not long after the people from the Sky Patrol Department found out that Yunmengze had left behind the Taoist inheritance, the news reached my ears. In other words, I have been preparing for this scene tonight for a long time."
The old man said frankly: "I intentionally attracted such a group of people in order to conceal the truth, even though Yunmengze is not really an ocean."
Gu Zhuo looked at him and asked, "Heaven?"
"The Son of Heaven's Heaven."
The old man drank a glass of wine and looked into the distance, as if he saw His Majesty the Emperor sitting at the highest point in the capital.
After a moment, he retracted his gaze and said to Gu Zhuo: "This is what happened."
Yu Sheng suddenly asked: "Why are you saying this?"
She was very sure that Taoist Yingxu was not the kind of boring person who enjoyed telling others the specific process of conspiracy before things succeeded, in exchange for a little pleasure in his heart.
If the leader of the Destiny Sect was such a person, he should have died in the past sixty years and would not have the qualifications to live to this day.
The old man smiled slightly and said nothing.
Yu Sheng had some doubts.
Just then, the midnight snack was served.
There were three bowls of noodles and a steamed fish. It looked rather simple, but seemed to taste good.
The three of them did not talk while eating, and they still talked along the way, but they were all idle talk and had nothing to do with the current situation.
After having a midnight snack, it seems that everything that needs to be done has been done, and the only thing left is to wait.
Until the moment of morning light, everyone who should be there will have arrived. At that time, the heritage left by the Taoist master will reappear in the world and fall into the eyes of everyone who has a dream.
Then it was obtained by the Tianming Sect.
This is probably what happened in the next few hours.
At this moment, a voice that sounded a little lazy and sleepy came from afar, mixed with a lot of helplessness, and fell into the ears of the three people here.
"It looks like we are short of one. Do you want to play a few rounds?"
