Fortune Teller

Chapter 18 The Hand of Darkness

It was not difficult to break through the situation in front of him, but it was the deep meaning behind these old men that made Gu Xiuyun suspicious.

Although the Alchemy Sutra Pagoda is the secret place of the Gu family, for Gu Xiuyun, a direct descendant of the Fourth House, he can go wherever he wants and no one dares to stop him. It's just that his predecessor's reputation in the past was too bad. If he suddenly abandoned evil and turned to good, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

And the punishment given by the elder just gave Gu Xiuyun an excuse.

But why did these old men prevent him from entering the Alchemy Sutra Tower?

Glancing at the maid Suyan beside him, she was still crying, but there was a smile on Gu Xiuyun's lips, "Miss Suyan, look at you, a weak woman who doesn't talk much on weekdays, but now that I've been frivolous, you are so articulate." . What you just said was clear and well-founded. Did someone teach you that?"

"Master, you have despised me and you still accuse me falsely?" The maid Su Yan cried even more sadly.

"Uncle, you also know what my nephew is like. I have always been used to being a promiscuous person. There are many maids and maids who have done harm to me. Even if I add some beauty, it doesn't matter!" Gu Xiuyun sneered, "But the disgusting things others do, I have to rely on My nephew will never tolerate it!"

"So, Suyan's matter has nothing to do with you?" The elder frowned slightly. He knew Gu Xiuyun's nephew very well. Relying on his status as the legitimate son and the power of his mother's family, he had always been domineering and never denied anything he had done. reason.

After all, Su Yan is just a maid in the final analysis. When the time comes, asking Gu Xiuyun to take her as his concubine will stop everyone from talking!

Since Gu Xiuyun denies it, I'm afraid there is really something going on in this matter.

"Forget it, there are a lot of trivial matters in the mansion now, and it is not convenient for people to come and go. You should go to the Alchemy Pagoda as soon as possible to save me from worrying." The elder waved his hand with a look of disgust.

"My nephew is leaving today."

Gu Xiuyun suddenly felt happy.

"Sir, what's the matter with Su Yan?" The old man on one side looked anxious.

"Master Hu, I will send someone to investigate this matter in detail and I will definitely give you an explanation." The elder said repeatedly.

After burning the incense, Gu Xiuyun packed up his luggage and hurried to the main line, fearing that something might happen again!

At the same time, in a dark secret room.

"What, Gu Xiuyun has already gone to the Alchemy Pagoda?" A rough voice sounded.

"Sir, Hu Weiqing has tried his best to persuade Gu Qingzheng, but today that boy didn't know what medicine he took wrongly, and he denied it and did not accept Suyan."

According to past experience, Gu Xiuyun has always been open to beautiful women. As long as he admits the matter, Hu Weiqing can send Su Yan there and use this as a trap to prevent him from entering the Alchemy Tower.

But who would have thought that Gu Xiuyun would change his gender today?

"The Alchemy Tower is protected by a formation, and the Soul-Destroying Banner's spiritual power cannot invade it. It seems that it can only keep that junior alive for a while longer." The rough voice sounded a little helpless.

"Sir, don't worry too much. In my opinion, the boy only glanced briefly that day and did not see the details clearly. Otherwise, how could he wake up for many days without speaking to anyone?" another person said.

"What do you know? There are many hidden clues in the four rooms of the Gu family. He may have sensed the problem, so he has been pretending to be stupid, but today he hurriedly went to the main line of the Gu family, but his thoughts were completely exposed!"

"Sir, what should we do?"

"The plan for now is to let Elder Feng take a good look at this person and not let him come into contact with the people in charge of the Gu family's main line." The rough voice suddenly changed the subject, "It's all your fault for your useless disciple. Let him use it." The Soul-Destroying Banner quietly dealt with Gu Xiuyun and couldn't even handle this little thing."

"This subordinate is guilty."

The sun was shining brightly, and Gu Xiuyun rode a carriage to the depths of Beicheng.

There are no streets here, only a series of pavilions and pavilions, and a family guard.

"Master Yun, the Alchemy Sutra Tower has arrived!"

The old servant driving the car opened the curtain and Gu Xiuyun walked out of the car.

Looking up, I saw a small mountain in front of me. The mountain seemed to be hollowed out and divided into layers, with carved pavilions inside.

Seeing Gu Xiuyun appear, a servant quickly came over to greet him.

"Master Yun, Elder Feng has prepared a wing for you to rest in. Please come with me."

"Second room?" Gu Xiuyun frowned slightly, "As far as I know, there is no resting room in the Alchemy Sutra Tower, right?"

"Not in the Alchemy Pagoda. Elder Feng has a deep friendship with the masters in the fourth room. Why would he let Mr. Yun live in the Alchemy Pagoda? The wing room has been prepared with beauties, just waiting for the young master to move in!" The servant blinked. Meaningful.

"No need, I haven't entered the Alchemy Sutra Pagoda for a long time, and I really miss it. Let's go in first and take a look around."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man in brocade robe walked towards the hill by himself.

The servant wanted to stop him, but was stopped by the old servant next to Gu Xiuyun, "Please go back and tell your master that I will arrange Mr. Yun's residence. Elder Feng doesn't need to worry about it."

This old servant is the person next to Mrs. Yu. Although he has not been able to enlighten the spiritual veins, his martial arts are extremely high, and his strength is no less than that of a practitioner who has just entered the Yuanling Pulse Cleansing Realm.

During the half year that Gu Xiuyun stayed in the Alchemy Pagoda, all the secular affairs were taken care of by the old servant.

Walking into the mountain, Gu Xiuyun looked up and saw that the tower was layered on top of each other, with seven floors. Each floor was guarded by a guardian who enlightened the spiritual veins. There were also some clan disciples walking around, as if they were watching. Read the classics.

"I heard from Xiao Cui that the side branches of each vein are only allowed to enter the first three floors of the Alchemy Sutra Tower. The disciples of the direct line can enter the first six floors. As for the seventh floor, only the strong ones who have enlightened the spiritual veins can enter."

With thoughts in his mind, he walked straight to the fourth floor.

"Who is here? Don't you know that only the direct lineage can enter above the fourth floor?" The protector guarding this place stared at Gu Xiuyun with raised eyebrows.

"I, Gu Xiuyun, come from the fourth room of the Gu family, and I am the legitimate son of the third master, Gu Qingyuan." Gu Xiuyun bowed quickly.

"Is it you?" The protector's brows trembled slightly.

Everyone in the entire Youning City knew about the reputation of the romantic young master. However, this man was ignorant and had almost never entered the Alchemy Sutra Pagoda. Naturally, the guardian in the tower did not recognize him.

Looking at the young man in brocade robes in front of him, the protector's gaze suddenly became cold and stern, "The Alchemy Sutra Tower is the most important inheritance place of our clan. After you enter, you must be careful not to damage any classics. If you are careless, don't blame me for rushing." get out."

"I understand."

Gu Xiuyun has long been accustomed to this kind of gaze. Whenever he hears his name, the Gu family will either grit their teeth or be afraid, and almost no one will talk to him in a pleasant manner.

"How many ridiculous things did my predecessor do?" Gu Xiuyun secretly stuck out his tongue, "Even the protectors in the Alchemy Sutra Pagoda heard about it."

There are thousands of classics on the fourth floor of the Alchemy Pagoda, scattered on hundreds of wooden shelves, with almost only a dozen books on each wooden shelf.

Gu Xiuyun picked up a book casually, glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

[History of Anning City]: records the power structure of Anning City and major events in the past thousand years.

This kind of classics happened to be what he needed most. He knew nothing about the world where his body was located, but Gu Xiuyun knew that this was by no means the land of China.

Turning the first page, a blue city pattern appeared in front of you.

"Anning City, one of the eight cities in Chu County, is located in the middle of Chu County..."

After flipping through several pages, they were all about the power structure and geographical distribution of Anning City, which also included the power battles among the cities in Chu County. Anning City is located in the middle of Chu County and has been coveted by the world's forces for generations. In just a thousand years, it has Changed ownership three times in a row.

Nowadays, dragons and snakes are mixed in An Ning City. Not to be outdone by others, the You Ning Gu family has also stepped in.

"No wonder my sister-in-law Gu Xiushu wants to marry far away to Anning City. It seems to be a secret planted by the family."

Gu Xiuyun sighed in his heart, what about his legitimate daughter? It's not just that you can only obey the family's orders and marry far away.

If something happens to An Ning City one day, these legitimate daughters will be the first to die.

"On the other hand, my second sister Gu Xiuhan successfully activated her spiritual veins and entered the Changli Heaven. It has been four years now!"

"By the way, Changli Tian, ​​let me see if there are any books about Shangzong."

He rummaged around quickly.
