Gu Chen had an in-depth conversation with Ye Qingshuang, and what he learned was a bizarre story that he could not imagine.
The bamboo hat man and Ye Qingshuang's master and apprentice searched for him for a year, and another person also participated.
He is not unfamiliar with this person, he is actually the black dog who left the ancient fairy building and had no news for several years.
Back then, the black dog said that he had some personal matters to deal with and would come back soon. Who would have thought that, but he never heard from him again this time.
From Ye Qingshuang's mouth, Gu Chen half understood and half guessed the ins and outs of the whole thing.
Long before Black Dog met him, he was a powerful dog demon in the Immortal Venerable Realm, known as Venerable Black Wind.
It's just that when he had a feud with Qiu Mengyi, his body was accidentally taken away by her, his soul was sealed on an ordinary puppy, and most of his cultivation was lost.
This is the reason why Gu Chen felt that the black dog's soul was extremely powerful but his cultivation level was low.
When he was in the ancient fairy building, the black dog learned the ancient soul method with Tangning's help, and thus lifted the seal of his own soul.
After that, it said that it had to deal with some private matters, mainly to find Qiu Mengyi to return to its real body.
In addition, the reason why he and Qiu Mengyi had a festival back then was a part of the soul of the man in the bamboo hat, and that part of the soul was also his goal.
Before the black dog left, he said that he would give Gu Chen a surprise when he came back. That surprise must have been the soul of the bamboo hat man, because the two were investigating the secret of the bamboo hat man at that time, and Gu Chen refined the demon ancient soul jade for this purpose.
Who would have thought that it would take too much time for the black dog to find Qiu Mengyi. During this period, the situation in the entire starry sky had already changed drastically, and the person with the bamboo hat died in the God Realm.
After this, the story quickly developed in a bizarre direction. The man in the bamboo hat awakened a ray of soul-splitting consciousness, and he managed to persuade the three of them to take him to find Gu Chen.
Knowing that Heigou's hometown was destroyed by the bamboo hat man, it is unimaginable for him to cooperate with him, and Heigou and Qiu Mengyi still have festivals, so it is even more inconceivable that the two sides can cooperate.
They were originally irrelevant people, but they embarked on a journey of finding people together. No matter how big Gu Chen's brain was, he never expected such a thing to happen.
The four people's journey to find Gu Chen was doomed to failure, because at that time Gu Chen lived in seclusion on the ancient star Canghuang, and the ancient star completely deviated from its original position due to other artificial reasons, so it was not easy to find it in the vast starry sky?
During the conversation, Gu Chen noticed that the time when the man in the bamboo hat started to look for himself happened to be when he had frequent nightmares and dreamed about him, and his heart sank.
Is this a coincidence?
If not, it means that the bamboo hat man has a way to influence his mind across the vast starry sky, and even appear in his dreams.
How did he do that?
Gu Chen knew that such a thing could not be done with the strength of a man in a bamboo hat, and the only explanation was that he had some hidden dangers.
This made him feel like a thorn in his back, and the man in the bamboo hat lingered. He was looking for himself, fearing that it might not be for the righteousness of saving the Ninth Realm as he said!
"What happened after you couldn't find me? How did you end up here at Mount Sumeru?"
Gu Chen took a breath and continued to ask Ye Qingshuang.
"Master promised the bamboo hat man to find you with conditions. One of them is that the bamboo hat man will tell her the mystery of the source of the soul."
"That is the goal that Master has pursued all his life, and the man in the bamboo hat has reached that state, and said that there is another way to help Master break through, so Master is moved."
When Ye Qingshuang talked about this, her words flickered a little. Although what she said was true, she concealed some details of the original transaction between the two parties, and she didn't want to let Gu Chen know.
Gu Chen didn't notice her strangeness, but just listened carefully.
"After failing to find you, the master asked the bamboo hat man to fulfill his promise, and the shortcut he mentioned to condense the source of the soul is Mount Sumeru."
"He said that Mount Sumeru has condensed the beliefs of countless beings in the entire Western Sky Star Region. With the power of this abundant belief, it is possible to condense the source of souls."
"He didn't say the specific method. He only promised to be open and honest after arriving at Mount Sumeru, and personally help Master break through. Who would want to get it..."
Ye Qingshuang shook her head and smiled wryly when she said this.
"Did your master get tricked by people in bamboo hats?"
Gu Chen asked unsurprisingly, with the bamboo hat man's treachery and cunning, especially his understanding of the human heart, how could Qiu Mengyi not suffer?
Qiu Mengyi was too obsessed with making breakthroughs, so he didn't hesitate to take any risks for it. If the bamboo hat man saw through this point, he would naturally be eaten to death.
It has nothing to do with being smart or stupid, it's just the greed of the human heart.
"When we sneaked into the Great Leiyin Temple, we underestimated the level of guards here, and were finally discovered by the eminent monks of the Great Leiyin Temple, and we took it down with the help of Mount Sumeru."
"When Master was fighting with Abbot Ruochen, the man in the bamboo hat took the opportunity to escape. Master has always been worried about this matter, thinking that the man in the hat deliberately let us be discovered, because he never planned to tell Master the breakthrough method from the beginning. Even Yu, Master suspects that the method of breakthrough does not exist at all, it is just an excuse to coax her to help."
Gu Chen looked pensive, and Qiu Mengyi's guess was really possible given the vile character of the bamboo hat man.
However, in order to get rid of Qiu Mengyi and come all the way to Sumeru Mountain Bu, it is too much trouble. With the wisdom of the bamboo hat, there should be an easier way.
Gu Chen narrowed his eyes gradually as he thought about it, he finally connected the whole thing together!
The members of the Jingling Demon Realm gathered on Mount Sumeru, which was just a follow-up to the actions of the people in the bamboo hat a year ago.
He definitely did not enter Mount Sumeru to help Qiu Mengyi, but to have other ulterior secrets!
It's just that he didn't expect the operation to fail unexpectedly, so he withdrew and made a comeback a year later.
What exactly does the man in the bamboo hat want to do in Daleiyin Temple?
He made a comeback at this time, did he already have the confidence to realize the plan completely?
Gu Chen's heart was constantly rippling, and he asked about the whereabouts of the black dog, and learned that it escaped from Daleiyin Temple with the man in the bamboo hat.
"If you can find the black dog, maybe you can figure out what the man in the bamboo hat wants to do."
"No matter what the purpose of the bamboo hat man is, the water in Mount Sumeru is far deeper than I imagined. It seems that it is time for him to be born..."
Gu Chen muttered to himself, planning ahead.
"Gu Chen, no matter what the man in the bamboo hat wants to do, I always feel that it has something to do with you. You must be careful."
After Ye Qingshuang told the whole story, she didn't know what Gu Chen thought, so she bit her lip and said softly.
Gu Chen came back to his senses, nodded with a smile and said: "Thank you for telling me these things, I already have a judgment in my heart. Now that the matter is clear, I will ask Da Leiyin Temple to let them return you to freedom. You alone It's enough for a girl to be trapped here for a whole year."
His words became more relaxed, no matter what, Ye Qingshuang had a special relationship with him, he must help with this favor.
