Lingzhang

Chapter 204: Concealing the truth
The same silence and dead peace.

It also appeared in the extremely disguised residential area in the slum.

The young leader sat cross-legged on the spot, with his head half lowered, as if his soul had been pulled out of it, and his figure lingered in the curling smoke emanating from the copper furnace for a long time.

The sound system in the room and the deep, ancient voice in the boy's throat had also disappeared without a trace.

now.

A strange and solemn atmosphere lingered in the entire room.

The young man who was sitting cross-legged with his head bowed in the smoke looked like a clay or stone sculpture made of flesh and blood.

The treasure is solemn.

But at this moment, in this room filled with a weird and solemn atmosphere, there is a corner that is not so solemn and not so weird.

That was Gu Qinghan who was standing respectfully in the same place.

It has been a long time.

She was clearly still maintaining her original posture. Not only did her body not shake at all, but the rise and fall of her chest and abdomen driven by her breathing seemed to follow the original rhythm, like a machine, without the slightest deviation.

She once served a real madman, a madman whose moods no one could understand.

Many times, the rules themselves are an effective tool to avoid attracting Zhu Tingmo's attention and protect oneself from too much torture.

She has been using this tool very well.

But at this moment, there are irregularities within this rule.

Gu Qinghan's gaze kept wandering.

The hesitation in her eyes and the respectfulness reflected in her posture seemed to be two completely different states.

Gu Qinghan sometimes stared at a crack in the floor, but he was paying attention to the young leader with the corner of his eyes.

Sometimes he seemed to be looking around the entire room, and sometimes he glanced at the young leader's figure.

At first, this "restlessness" was only reflected in the movement of Gu Qinghan's eyes.

Soon, her head and neck joined in the restless swaying.

Then it was her entire shoulders and most of her body.

When she no longer maintained her original respectful posture.

There was no longer any curl of smoke in this huge room.

The little suspended dust had already dissipated along with the exhaust device.

There was only a handful of ashes left in the incense burner that was as big as a head.

In the empty and silent room, there was only the lonely figure of the young leader sitting cross-legged.

And all this is just an external presentation.

When it comes to the more hidden spiritual feelings, Gu Qinghan's feelings are much more complicated.

From the very beginning, the young leader used his powerful spiritual power that was countless levels higher than his own, and in a way that was almost like speaking the law of heaven, he forcibly controlled Gu Qinghan's body and soul.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qinghan would do whatever he said without thinking.

Let her hold her head high.

Let her come closer, even though her body was shaking like a sieve due to fear, it did not stop Gu Qinghan's uncontrollable steps.

As a result, the final order for Gu Qinghan to guard the door was also the same.

Even though Gu Qinghan had no loyalty in his heart from the beginning to the end, after these words that were spoken with the will of heaven were spoken, a certain will ran through Gu Qinghan's body and soul.

From that moment on, no matter who broke into the room, anyone who wanted to attack the young leader had to step over Gu Qinghan's body!

This is the most powerful control that comes from spiritual will.

Even after that, the young leader was obviously sitting cross-legged on the spot, his mind drifting away. The implementation of this will in his mind was like the performance of some kind of extraordinary Taoism, and it existed forever because of the existence of the young leader.

It is this kind of extraordinary Taoism that is used for domestication.

Gu Qinghan subconsciously followed the instinctive reaction of his body and mind and maintained a respectful posture.

But soon.

As the peaceful time passes by little by little.

Gu Qinghan gradually felt the ineffectiveness of this extraordinary Taoist method in taming and controlling himself.

It's like ice and snow melting.

What is the reason for this?
In the extraordinary realm, there are too many secrets that Gu Qinghan has never been exposed to.

She had no idea what the reason behind this change was.

So as her extraordinary power dissipated, she took the initiative to control her body and spirit and maintained her respectful posture again.

But despite being respectful, this kind of snooping into details is ultimately unavoidable.

In particular, the "ice" was melting faster and faster in Gu Qinghan's spiritual world.

Until finally, when even the last bit of coolness completely disappeared.

Gu Qinghan, who had fully recovered, saw that after the smoke dissipated, his head was still half-drooped and he couldn't even lift it up.

She had not even felt the presence of breath in that once living body.

If it was just an outward appearance, Gu Qinghan would still be much more cautious.

But she once had a close connection with the invisible and extraordinary Taoism that controls will.

She had once used her mind and soul to truly feel the process of the extraordinary Taoist power gradually disappearing.

And the charm that is difficult to describe in words that is presented in the process——

It didn't seem like the Taoist magic had become ineffective after a certain period of time. It was more like the process of a dying person's eyes gradually losing their divine light during their final demise.

What did the young leader do? What did he go through? Is he really dead?

Gu Qinghan took a deep breath.

"Master? Master——?"

Even her body and spirit no longer maintained the same posture as before.

But when he spoke, Gu Qinghan still called in a respectful tone.

The lingering sound of that gentle voice echoed in the empty room.

But at this moment, the young man sitting cross-legged on the spot no longer responded.

then.

Gu Qinghan became bolder.

She turned around and walked to the wall at the entrance. After gently feeling around on the original metal wall, she found the mysterious black jade that controlled the entire room.

After a few operations.

Behind the young man's sitting figure.

In front of another nutrition warehouse that has never been opened.

Another incense burner rose from the ground, and the moment the incense was lit, the ancient music that the young leader had recorded in advance was heard in the room.

Everything seemed to have returned to the state it was in when Gu Qinghan first walked in.

Gu Qinghan was like a modern youth who had a computer problem and immediately chose to force a shutdown and restart. After calling the young leader failed.

She decisively chose to go back to the first step and call the young leader again.

Gu Qinghan had already seen through the secretive aspects of the leader's actions.

No one knows where his true body is hiding.

Every disciple of the Song of the Holy Sect who came to visit him could only do so in this way, using a method similar to the Youquan Ritual, to call upon the leader's soul to enter his body from afar.

While being extremely powerful, this young leader is also extremely mysterious.

But at this moment.

When Gu Qinghan chose to start over again, and performed the steps of calling the young leader's soul from beginning to end at the source of the extraordinary Taoism.

The smoke is curling and the sound is long.

But from beginning to end, the lid of the nutrient tank was tightly closed.

The body of the young man lying in the medicine no longer showed any signs of opening his eyes or waking up.

Exhale-inhale-exhale-

The thick smoke continued to fill Gu Qinghan's chest with his deep breathing.

This smoke has the effect of calming the mind.

At this moment, Gu Qinghan became more restless than ever before.

Is there anything I can do?
Should I do something myself?
It was at this moment, amidst repeated hesitation, a very bold idea emerged in Gu Qinghan's mind.

If the young leader really died for unknown reasons, I might be the most daring and deceitful person in history.

But if the young leader had not died, then he would have died without a burial place because of this one thought.

Do it or not?
Many times, in order to break free from the barriers in front of her, she has to take necessary risks!

When Xu Shijin's tragic end and Luo Zhaoqing's contemptuous expression emerged one by one from Gu Qinghan's mind.

A certain thought became firm in an instant.

She raised her hand and tapped lightly on the mysterious black jade.

Then, the noisy sound stopped abruptly.

Gu Qinghan's hand brushed across the arm armor again.

She was like someone in a casino who was desperate to go all in.

She had to take another risk and gamble on another bold guess in her mind -

"Hello, is this Mr. Zeng?"
-
In the mountaintop courtyard.

Just now, Yue Hanzhang and Jiang Lingxiu were almost sent out of the gate of the Jiang family fortress by Jiang Ziran as if they were the god of plague.

Perhaps Jiang Ziran still had a lot to show off to Yue Hanzhang.

But before Jiang Ziran could fully demonstrate his potential.

He had already been defeated by Yue Hanzhang's "combo".

Many times, the gap between talented monks is even greater than the gap between monks and warriors.

Probably because Jiang Ziran felt humiliated.

But it is more probably because Yue Hanzhang was promoted to the extraordinary realm.

I don’t know when it started, but the peaceful smile on Jiang Lingxiu’s face has never disappeared.

After returning to the courtyard on the top of the mountain, Jiang Lingxiu took Yue Hanzhang's arm, and the two of them strolled leisurely, unknowingly walking into one of the small buildings.

This is where Jiang Lingxiu and Mrs. Wei once lived.

It was a place that Jiang Lingxiu had never been willing to set foot in, and therefore a place that no one else had ever set foot in.

now.

Accompanied by the opening of a door.

A bedroom that had obviously been cleaned recently appeared in front of Yue Hanzhang.

Jiang Lingxiu's voice as gentle as water rang in Yue Hanzhang's ears.

"Today is the great day when you are promoted to the extraordinary Dao, shouldn't we celebrate?

Hanzhang, I never thought that since our meeting in the past, you and I would have come this far today.

It was you who brought me back from hell to the human world.

Do you still remember how you corrected me the first time?"

Listening to Jiang Lingxiu's voice as gentle as water.

The extraordinary power of the young leader did not shake Yue Hanzhang's mind.

At this moment, Jiang Lingxiu's words made him distracted.

When I looked at it subconsciously.

On the counter at one side of the room, on a wooden rack where swords should have been placed, a wooden stick was placed horizontally on it.

Yue Hanzhang saw it clearly.

This was the teaching aid he had used to help Jiang Lingxiu correct his malice.

It was once confiscated by Jiang Lingxiu because of his shame and anger.

All along, Yue Hanzhang thought that the teaching aids had been destroyed by her.

totally unexpected……

When he saw this, the past flooded Yue Hanzhang's thoughts like a tide.

When he stood in front of the counter in a daze, holding the old teaching aids in his hands again.

Jiang Lingxiu had already walked to the center of the room, with his back to Yue Hanzhang, and displayed the crawling posture of a monster with the spirit of a shadowy tiger or leopard.

"Do you remember?"

The gentle voice pushed him into the past, and now dragged him back to reality.

Yue Hanzhang shook his wrist subconsciously.

The moment of bursting strength.

whoosh-

When he spoke again, his voice was unusually dry.

"Waist - sink a little lower -"
-
After a while.

The door to the hilltop courtyard opened smoothly and fluently.

The ferocious chariot made of special alloy drove into the courtyard with a roar.

Amid the wailing roar, Huang Zhishu stepped down from the chariot and watched the moonlight on the cool night sprinkle into the courtyard like water.

She put her hands on her hips in confusion, looking at the dark courtyard without a single light.

"What about people?"
