Chapter 18 The Hand in the Dark

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?

He glanced at the maid Suyan beside him, who was still crying, but there was a smile on Gu Xiuyun's lips, "Miss Suyan, look at you, a weak woman who usually doesn't talk much, 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 inconvenient 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, there was 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 spiritual power of the Soul-Destroying Banner cannot invade it.

, it seems that the junior can only be allowed to live for a while longer. "The rough voice seemed 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 only 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, just 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, seeming to be reading. Classics.

"I heard from Xiaocui that the side branches of each meridian are only allowed to enter the first three floors of the Danjing Tower.

Disciples can enter the first six levels, but as for the seventh level, only strong men with enlightened spiritual veins can enter. "

He thought about it and went straight to the fourth floor.

"Who are you? Don't you know that only the direct lineage can enter the fourth floor and above?" The guardian guarding this place stared at Gu Xiuyun with a frown.

"I am Gu Xiuyun, from the fourth branch of the Gu family, and I am the direct son of the third master Gu Qingyuan." Gu Xiuyun bowed hurriedly.

"Is it you?" The guardian brows trembled slightly.

The reputation of the romantic young man is well-known in the whole Youning City, but this person is ignorant and has almost never entered the Danjing Tower, so the guardians in the tower naturally don't know him.

Looking at the young man in brocade robe in front of him, the guardian's eyes suddenly became three points colder, "The Danjing Tower is the most important place of inheritance for our clan. After you enter, you must be careful and not damage any classics. If you are careless, don't blame me for driving you out."

"I understand."

Gu Xiuyun has long been accustomed to this kind of look. Whenever he heard his name, the Gu family would either grit their teeth or be afraid. Almost no one would talk to him in a friendly manner.

"How many absurd things did my predecessor do?" Gu Xiuyun secretly stuck out his tongue, "Even the guardians in the Danjing Tower have heard of it."

There are thousands of books on the fourth floor of the Danjing Tower, sparsely placed on hundreds of wooden shelves, and almost every wooden shelf has only a dozen books.

Gu Xiuyun picked up a book at random, glanced at it, and his eyes lit up immediately.

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

This kind of book is exactly what he needs most. He knows nothing about the world where his physical body is, but Gu Xiuyun knows that this is definitely not the land of Shenzhou.

Opening the first page, a green city pattern appears in front of him.

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

Turning through several pages, they are all about the power structure and geographical distribution of Anning City, which is also mixed with the power battles between 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 hands three times in a row.

Now Anning City is full of good and bad people, and the Youning Gu family is unwilling to lag behind and has also intervened.

"No wonder my elder sister Gu Xiushu has to marry far away in Anning City, it seems that the family has buried a hidden chess piece."

Gu Xiuyun sighed in his heart, what about the legitimate daughter? She can only obey the orders of the family and marry far away.

If one day, Anning City changes, the first to die will be these legitimate daughters.

"But my second sister Gu Xiuhan has successfully enlightened the spirit vein and entered Changlitian. It has been four years now!"

"By the way, Changlitian, let me see if there are any classics about the upper sect."

He hurriedly searched.
