Chapter 205 Domestication
The night is deep.

Very deep.

In the slums on the third floor of the basement, in a disguised secret room.

The old man in black robe was half-lowering his head, wiping and erasing the traces of strange blood and ink that depicted the seal array on the ground bit by bit.

Perhaps it was because this secret, which was enough to shake the situation in the state government, and which weighed heavily on his heart, finally found another person to share it with.
At this moment, Gu Qinghan was leaning against the wall in the corner of the room with a rare relaxed attitude.

She seemed to no longer worry about anything.

Perhaps only with such an expression as the backdrop, one can vaguely realize Gu Qinghan's real age.

It was not that he was targeted by Zhu Tingmo in the past.

In that world line where such miserable suffering does not exist, perhaps Gu Qinghan is still a simple Taoist student.

This kind of carefree life should belong to Gu Qinghan.

But when it appeared on her at this moment, she looked very eye-catching even if she was standing in the corner of the room.

Such an expression is very inconsistent with Gu Qinghan's temperament.

There are no "ifs" in the passing of time.

All those past experiences have already completely changed Gu Qinghan's essence and rhythm.

This kind of carefree life no longer suits Gu Qinghan in the slightest.

And it is precisely because of this eye-catching.

Mr. Zeng, who had just cleaned up, turned around and looked at Gu Qinghan.

"Girl, are you really not afraid that I will harm you?"

Hearing this, Gu Qinghan curled the corners of his mouth.

The moment the leisurely demeanor disappeared from her, a certain morbid charm like that of a femme fatale returned to Gu Qinghan's cold expression.

"Scared! I'm terribly scared!
From the time I met him to the time I called you, Mr. Zeng, during this period, if I did something wrong or said something wrong, I would be dead.

It's a predictable tragic death.

Who wouldn't be afraid of death? If I had the courage to face death, I would have died when I was "hunted" by the scum of the Zhu family.

But this is also the magic of the world.

When I was extremely afraid and terrified of death, there was nothing else worthy of my fear and awe except death.

Is there anything in this world that doesn't involve taking risks?
I always feel that among all those people who changed their ways in the entire Holy Religion, the most loyal one is actually the late Xu Shijin, and Mr. Zeng may not have any different ideas.

I decided to take a gamble, and now it seems that I made the right decision.”

Gu Qinghan's powerful words were filled with a kind of indifference that came from facing death directly. This indifferent tone contained a unique charm that transcended the realm of cultivation and made people look directly at her.

So, Mr. Zeng also looked at Gu Qinghan deeply.

But he did not reveal his feelings as directly as Gu Qinghan.

He just turned his head and looked at the young man sitting cross-legged on the ground again.

"He is probably really dead, and just like the saints before him, even his soul and spirit light are not stored in the sea of ​​Tao, and he has completely gone to the side of silence and death.

Alas, life is ironic. He is a master of the Youquan Ritual. I even once suspected that the talisman array of the Youquan Ritual was created by him.

His style of doing things is also mysterious and secretive.

But in the end, he died with his soul reduced to ashes, leaving nothing behind."

Except for the young leader's death which was re-confirmed.

Mr. Zeng seemed to have said nothing, yet he said everything.

If he had no intention of joining the gang to accomplish great things, why would he talk about the death of the young leader in such detail?

As a result, the smile on Gu Qinghan's face became even wider for a moment.

"What do we do next?"

we.

Mr. Zeng paused, as if he was savoring the word.

"There's nothing wrong with your general idea. As the saying goes, "Li Dai Tao Jiang", your every move, every word and every deed are exposed to the public, while I hide aside to help you find out the shortcomings and fill in the gaps, and make up for the regrets in time.

In doing so, one focuses on understanding people's minds, supplemented by words and deception, and then accomplishes what one wants to do little by little.

But from the very beginning, you and I need to make a lot of preparations to deal with many different directions.

The most crucial point here is, what if someone must come to see the young leader?
It doesn't necessarily mean that he is suspicious of you and me, but there may be situations that require the leader to step in, and he is the only one who can do it.

We can't let ourselves get caught up in something like this.

The solution is relatively simple. After all, the leader acts too secretively. This mysterious style also gives you and me room to operate.

It is nothing more than using the Nether Spring Ritual to induce human souls into the body as a disguise.

But I have no problem participating in the Nether Spring Ceremony, but I can’t completely abandon my own style and disguise myself as someone else.

But I know an old friend who is an expert at this..."

Some things don't need to be made too clear.

Gu Qinghan immediately understood the blank space that Mr. Zeng left behind when he was about to say something.

Think about what his identity was before he surrendered to the Holy Church, and it will be self-evident what the background of the so-called old friend was.

Considering that at this moment in the provincial capital, there are no longer any "remnants" of the former Tiandu Taoist Temple.

This person's ability to hide and disguise is very powerful!

He is indeed proficient in this.

As a result, Gu Qinghan's smile became even wider.

"Mr. Zeng, this time, it's your turn to gamble."

Hearing this, the old man in black robe maintained his original hesitant attitude for a while.

After a moment, he suddenly raised his head and a smile of emotion appeared on his face.

"As expected, I am old now, and I am not as mentally tough as you young people."

As he spoke, the old man in black robe stroked his arm armor. The moment the light screen popped up, his old voice was indescribably nervous and gentle.

"It's me, Zeng Yunhe..."
-
After a while.

In a secret warehouse.

Gu Qinghan walked slowly into it.

The cultivators who had previously scattered and left one after another, returned again.

Now when I look at it again.

A man whose identity was unknown was lying where Xu Shijin once lay, undergoing a surgery to transform his body and soul while unconscious.

Continuous experimentation is the only way for a technology to move from clinical success to maturity.

Just another "guinea pig".

After taking a quick glance like this.

Gu Qinghan was looking at Luo Zhaoqing who had turned around.

"What did the leader say?"

Perhaps because he knew that Gu Qinghan had met the young leader, Luo Zhaoqing's expression rarely showed some respect.

Gu Qinghan didn't answer for a while.

She paused, and when even the gazes of the resurrected saints were on her, she spoke slowly.

A kind of indescribable pride emerged from her.

It was as if at this moment, it was not herself who spoke out, but a will of a higher level that descended upon her.

"First of all, let me say something off topic.

Mr. Luo. "

Off topic?
Luo Zhaoqing was a little confused, but he still cooperated and responded to Gu Qinghan's call.

"exist."

"The old master read the letter you wrote, and he said that your writing style is as ancient as ever.

He used to like this style very much, but recently, he has been very quiet and thoughtful, wanting to create some changes in the ordinary.

Therefore, next time you write a secret letter to the leader, your writing style should be changed and more concise. "

This is indeed off topic.

But Gu Qinghan's words instantly matched Luo Zhaoqing's memory.

Regarding his writing style, the young leader had mentioned it to him in person and praised it more than once.

In fact, it was the young leader’s praise that allowed Luo Zhaoqing to continue to delve deeper into this style of writing.

But now... you don't like this style...

Luo Zhaoqing didn't think about anything else for a moment. As soon as Gu Qinghan finished speaking, he nodded respectfully.

"I will follow the Master's orders. I will definitely change the writing style to please the Master."

Hearing this, Zeng Yunhe's eyes narrowed slightly in the crowd.

First, he made a serious arrangement using a small detail that Luo Zhaoqing was familiar with.

From the moment Luo Zhaoqing agreed, the "taming" of Luo Zhaoqing in terms of rhetoric and deception began.

"The second thing is, let's put aside the targeting of Yue Hanzhang.

The purpose of bringing all the ancient saints back to life is to let them rebuild their extraordinary paths and become the backbone of the Holy Religion's revival.

Instead of letting you use it as consumables!

Is Yue Hanzhang really just an ordinary genius from a small place?

Not to mention the Jiang and Tian families in public, what about the Tiandu Taoist Temple behind the scenes? Can we really ensure that there are no remnants lurking in the provincial capital like our sect?
He always seems to be weak and powerless, but the protectors both outside and within the rules should actually be taken into consideration.

You didn't think this through!"

Hearing this, Luo Zhaoqing's face looked a little ugly, but when he lowered his head again, the respectful look on his face became even more intense.

"Yes, someone did something wrong in this matter."

“So, this part of the energy should be put elsewhere. The Dao League College Entrance Examination is approaching, and many martial arts geniuses are emerging. It is time to continue searching for genius bodies and prepare for the next batch of returning saints.

Mr. Zeng is proficient in Youquan rituals and is responsible for the secret forces behind this matter. Mr. Zeng will be in charge and follow up on this matter."

Through a well-known but never-before-mentioned fault.

He suppressed Luo Zhaoqing's prestige in public.

And seized some less important powers from him.

But it is also because of this that Zeng Yunhe is no longer an insignificant loner in the Holy Church.

He truly opened a path to becoming a cardinal of the Holy Church.

And then, the real purpose was revealed——

"Also, you did the worst in terms of the new path! Some mistakes, if made again and again, are really hindering our holy cause!
Why didn't they save Xu Shijin's life? Why did they have to use the original experimental subject to do this?

The leader’s opinion is that your mind has been deviated and you only see your own bigotry and anger, and you don’t put the affairs of the Holy Religion first.

Therefore, you will not be responsible for anything that happens on this new path from now on.

I'll teach you how to re-plan for the Tengxia Zhu family and Jichuan County. Controlling Jichuan County is equivalent to holding the throat of the Zhenyuan Army and Tielin Army!

Oh, by the way, from now on, I will be personally responsible for matters related to the new path, and will report the progress to the leader personally.

Nothing has gone well recently, so he won't see you. If there is anything in the future, I will pass it on."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhaoqing became extremely angry.

"Witch! What slander did you tell the leader?"

Even in his rage, Luo Zhaoqing did not doubt the truth of the matter.

This is the result they want.
