    Chapter 42 I’m a bit clever

    Chu Wanning said: “If it is really Gou Chen who goes to the palace, how can he only drive dead things but not living people? Although this person’s magic power is not bad, he is definitely not the same as the First God.”

    This makes sense, but Mo Ran still has doubts: “Did Master only know that the person was an imposter when he saw this… this dead fox?”

    Allen Chu shook his head: “No.”

    “Then how could you tell…”

    Allen Chu: “Do you still remember what Gou Chen asked me when he appeared?”

    Mo Ran thought for a moment and said: “It seems that I asked you how your weapons are?”

    “That’s right.” Chu Wanning said, “My divine martial aura has not converged, and I can detect it with a little awareness. But as the Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons, he did not immediately react that I had two Jin Chengchi weapons, but I thought I only had one. I had doubts in my heart at the time, but it was about seeking a sword, so I couldn’t say more, but I kept a close eye on everything that followed, so I didn’t catch him.”

    “But…” Mo Ran said, “If he hadn’t gone to the palace with Gou Chen, how could he have forged the divine weapon?”

    “First, Gouchen’s sword-making is just a rumor. No one has ever really understood why a large number of weapons sank at the bottom of the lake, so Shenwu may not have been made by Gouchen. Secondly, this person just took the ready-made weapons from Shenwen’s arsenal for you to choose from. No one knows whether those things are his. Moreover, I have just carefully looked at the two weapons of Xue Meng and Shi Mei – they are all fakes.”

    Mo Ran was shocked when he heard this: “Xibei goods?”

    “Yeah.”

    “…” Mo Ran stayed for a while before thinking of himself, “What the hell…?”

    Chu Wanning said: “Hell is true. But his purpose is not just to give you the weapon.”

    “Then what do you want to do?” Mo Ran said, looking at the strange fox corpse slumped on the stone bed with disgust, “First he went to a lot of trouble to lock us in the secret room, and then he made such a thing to disgust people. What are you trying to do?”

    Chu Wanning said: “I want you.”

    “Huh?”

    “Just now, you were only half right. The one who went through so much trouble with Gou Chen was not us. What he wanted in the end was you.”

    “What do you want me to do?” Mo Ran laughed dryly, “I’m just a fool.”

    Chu Wanning said: “I have never seen any idiot who can form a spiritual cultivator within a year.”

    Mo Ran was about to say something more, but he seemed to realize something and suddenly froze.

    ——Chu Wanning is… praising him?

    This knowledge made his heart beat faster. He opened his eyes wide and stared at Chu Wanning. After a while, he slowly blinked his eyes. His cheeky face, which had always surpassed his ambition, turned slightly red.

    Chu Wanning was not looking at he, but muttered to himself: “In addition, Tianwen and Jiangui seem to have some connection with the willow tree in the courtyard. I once read in ancient books that when Gou Chen went to the palace to go to earth, he brought three sections of willow branches from the heaven. But the ancient books were so anecdotal that I have never known what Gou Chen did with the three sections of sacred willow.”

    he paused and continued: “But if the rumors are true, it seems at the moment that maybe Tianwen, Jiangui, and the old tree in the courtyard are the three sections of willow branches. Two sections have become sacred weapons, and one section is buried at the bottom of Jincheng Lake and has become a powerful guard of Gouchen Arsenal.”

    Mo Ran said: “But what does this have to do with me?”

    Allen Chu shook his head and said: “It doesn’t matter, you woke up the ghost.”

    The ink burned and sighed: “I’m just saying, it’s really a ghost!”

    “I guess what he wants in the end has something to do with the willow tree in the courtyard. But based on what I know now, I can only speculate up to this point. There is more that I can’t think of for the time being.”

    Although most of these are Chu Wanning’s guesses, Mo Ran feels that Chu Wanning is so smart, and he thinks so, and they are always inseparable.

    While thinking this way, he walked quickly through the dark underwater secret passage.After passing through the twists and turns of the corridor, they walked for a while and finally came to the exit. They took advantage of the Jiao people who were patrolling back and forth and escaped unprepared.

    The entrance to the underground darkroom was located in the yard where giant willows were planted. As soon as he came out, the sight in front of him suddenly surprised Mo Ran.

    I saw four coffins parked in front of the giant willow, one of which was empty. In the other three coffins, Chu Wanning, Shi Mo, and Xue Meng were lying respectively.

    The ink burned and said: “What’s going on?!”

    Chu nightning said: “This is the corpse coffin. Look at the edge of the coffin, there is a vine hanging on it, and the other end is connected to the giant willow. All you need to fake Gouchen is you. After he drugged us, he asked the Jiao people to take you to the secret room and put the three of us in this kind of coffin. Through the corpse coffin, he can transfer the lifelong spiritual practice of the person in the coffin to the giant willow. Just like sucking blood.”

    Seeing that Mo Ran’s face was ugly, Chu Wanning said: “Don’t worry, neither Shi Mo nor Xue Meng was injured. At that time, I pretended to be unconscious and waited for the opportunity to get rid of the three dragon men guarding the coffin. The three people you saw at this time were actually the corpses of those demons.”

    He said a simple singular sentence, but Mo Ran couldn’t help but lift his eyelashes and glance at the other party secretly.

    How deep are the cultivation levels of the Jiao people in Jincheng Pond?Chu Wanning’s so-called “waiting for opportunities to get rid of the dragons” must kill all three quietly within one blow.

    How skilled this man must be…

    It has been too many years since I had a good fight with Chu Wanning, so that when Mo Ran heard this sentence, he was in a trance for a moment. The earth-shattering figure in the wind, frost and snow of his previous life seemed to flash before his eyes. His face was slightly tilted and his eyes were like stars.

    Seeing that he was in a trance, Chu nightning asked: “What’s wrong?”

    Mo Ran suddenly woke up and said hurriedly: “Nothing.”

    “…”

    “I just feel strange, how did Master turn Jiao Ren into this.”

    Chu nightning sneered and said: “It’s just a cover-up, that fake hook up to the palace meeting, wouldn’t I know it? Leave the fake body here to avoid being discovered by those loaches. The so-called repaying the other’s way.”

    Mo Ran: “…”

    This place was dangerous and it was inconvenient for the two of them to stay for a long time, so they left immediately after stopping for a while.However, when they ran to the place agreed with Xue Meng, they saw that there was no one there.

    Mo Ran’s face turned pale: “Where is the teacher?!”

    Chu Wanning’s expression also moved slightly, he did not answer, but picked up his ring finger, and a layer of golden light floated on the finger tip.Before going to Xuying Peak, he once pinned a begonia flower to each of his three apprentices for tracking purposes.

    After a while, Allen Chu cursed in a low voice and withdrew the light: “Maybe something happened here, probably to hide from the Jiao people who were patrolling back and forth. The two people had escaped from the mansion and went to the market. Let’s go and have a look.”

    Both of them were very skilled, and they quickly evaded all the patrolling dragon men, jumped out of the towering courtyard wall, and headed towards the market where Gouchen Shanggong led them around during the day.

    There should be no day or night under water, but Jincheng Lake is different from other places. You can feel the rising and setting of the sun and the moon.At this time, the long night has broken and the sun is rising.

    Mo Ran saw from a distance that the morning market in Jinchengchi had started, and the bustling downtown area was crowded with people, and he couldn’t help but feel a little relieved.It seems that Master He and the others are fine, otherwise this place would not still be such a peaceful scene.

    Chu Wanning’s expression was not particularly good for some reason, but he did not speak and pulled Mo Ran over without saying a word.

    “Master?”

    “Come here.”

    “What’s wrong?”

    “Don’t go far.” Chu Wanning’s voice seemed to reveal some self-blame, although he was as cold as ever, “Xue Meng and Shi Mei have been lost. I’m afraid that if I’m not careful, you will also…”

    Mo Ran saw that Chu Wanning’s face was a little pale, and he seemed to be worried about himself. He was stunned for a moment, and then he didn’t know what to think, but there was a faint movement in his heart, and he comforted him: “I won’t lose it, let’s go, Master, let’s find someone quickly.”

    He said, while walking forward, he turned his arms and wrists and took Chu Wanning’s hand casually.

    “…” Chu Wanning’s fingertips seemed to be in his palm, trembling slightly.

    But that moment was too fast and too slight. Mo Ran was thinking about Shi Mei in his heart, so he didn’t pay close attention to it. He just said it was his own illusion.

    “Fish blood steamed buns, fish blood steamed buns just out of the cage.”

    “The snake shedding of Shuran Snake, the best clothing material, is the last three feet. Once sold out, we have to wait for the slave family’s next shedding.”

    “They are selling cuttlefish. The young master just vomited the ink this morning. It would be perfect to trace it with the ink – oh, little lady, don’t leave.”

    The sound of hawking is endless in the market, and the strange sights and visions are even more dizzying.

    Mo Ran smiled and took Chu Wanning for two steps. Suddenly, he suddenly understood what was wrong. His footsteps suddenly stopped, his eyes widened in an instant, and the blood seemed to be cold in an instant.

    Something’s wrong!

    Something is wrong here!

    he looked around, and sure enough…

    A headless ghost was sitting in front of the stall selling combs and powder. He held a horn comb with a pair of long fingernails dotted with bright red cardamom. He put his bloody head on his knees and while combing his hair, he said softly: “This is a fine bone comb. Please bring one with you.”

    Sure enough!

    Sure enough!In this busy city, everyone’s actions, everyone’s words, and everyone’s demeanor are exactly the same as when Gouchen Shanggong brought them here yesterday!

    Mo Ran suddenly took two steps back and bumped into Chu Wanning’s arms. He immediately raised his head and said hoarsely: “Master, is this?”

    Chu Wanning seemed to have thought of this section for a long time, but when he confirmed it with his own eyes, his heart still sank to the bottom, and he held on to Mo Ran.

    “How could this happen?—What is this? A mirage?”

    Chu nightning shook his head, but after thinking for a moment, he suddenly said slowly: “Moran, have you ever thought about the many strange beasts and creatures in Jinchengchi, and many of them have seen the real Gouchen Shanggong. So, why can’t they recognize this pretender?”

    There was no blood on Mo Ran’s face, and he was a little horrified: “Indeed… so.”

    Chu nightning said: “Let me ask you again, if you pretend to be Gou Chen and go to the palace, dormant in Jinchengchi, how can you let others say what you want to say, do what you want to do, obey orders, and act for you?”

    Mo Ran suddenly understood.

    Zhenlong chess game!

    The black and white pieces fall, and the world returns to its heart.No one knows the power of this forbidden technique better than he.He almost blurted out, but when he caught sight of Allen Chu’s eyes, he immediately stopped talking.

    How could my sixteen-year-old self be able to easily think of the three forbidden arts?

    So Mo Ran said: “This is difficult.”

    “No.” Chu Wanning said, “This is very simple.”

    he paused, and then said: “As long as they are all dead, it will be fine.”
