Chapter 518: The trend is imminent
"It's numb."
Gu Sanqiu scratched his hair, and suddenly felt powerless and decadent.
He worked so hard for so long, but he finally succeeded!
Xingqiu, who was standing by, walked over and patted Gu Sanqiu on the shoulder worriedly.
"Are you okay? Although it is indeed outrageous to have obtained the Hundred Unrestricted Taboos Scroll, you don't have to be like this."
For a moment, Xingqiu thought that his old friend was overreacting, or that the feeling of "his ancestors' heritage falling into the hands of outsiders" was at work.
"No, it's just because an old blind fortune teller once told me that if a foreigner gets hold of the Hundred Unforbidden Talisman in the near future, something terrible might happen."
?
Xingqiu was stunned, thinking, "Brother, why are you pretending to be nice to me? Who are you to go to a fortune teller who sounds like a charlatan?"
"It's a very scary thing. Are you sure his second sentence wasn't to tell you to spend a lot of money to buy a lucky charm and stick it back? And did you reveal your identity to him?"
Gu Sanqiu was helpless, but he could only continue to make up stories: "He was the first to reveal his identity, but this is the first time I've seen someone say in front of me that he is an immortal walking in the mortal world. I have to say it's quite interesting."
"He told me that meeting him meant I had a chance to be a fairy. If I followed the instructions of the hexagram, I might be able to get a true chance to be a fairy and meet the legendary fairy."
"If the immortal is happy and gives you something, you will be promoted to great heights in an instant."
Xingqiu couldn't hold it in any longer: "You believe this?"
"Of course I didn't believe in this kind of thing, immortal fate..."
Gu Sanqiu was stunned, then his face darkened.
"Wait a minute, I seem to remember now. If I remember correctly, before I left, did Chihuyan start to spread some rumors about the immortal coming to the mortal world to play the game Red Dust?"
Xingqiu frowned and thought for a moment, then ran to the side, pulled out a document and took a look at it.
"Yes, you remember correctly, there was such a thing, but after a few days, after not finding the strange old man in black robe, the turmoil died down. Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
"Eh? If that's the case, these two events seem to be connected in time. Could that immortal cave that appeared by chance be the other party's hometown?"
Xingqiu was a little unsure: "If that's the case, then the other party came to Liyue Harbor just to see if the current people are worthy of him setting a test, but what is the reason for doing so."
Black robe.
He was the person who came to me for a drink out of nowhere.
Gu Sanqiu understood a lot of things in an instant: "No matter what, that person appeared in the ceremony of sending the heroic spirits back, but I didn't find him when I tracked him down later."
"Please pay more attention to the intelligence in this area. I will ask my sister to ask the authorities to look for relevant information. Maybe he has appeared somewhere again."
"No problem, but are you really that nervous?"
Xingqiu couldn't help but ask, "To be honest, brother, you have other sources of information, right? Otherwise, with your personality, how could you do this? Is the situation really that serious?"
"Don't worry, no matter how serious it is, I can still handle it."
Gu Sanqiu tidied his clothes and left, while Xingqiu shook his head. In fact, for old friends like them who grew up together , it was very easy to tell whether Sanqiu was telling the truth or nonsense.
The other party said that he got the information from an old fortune teller, which is nonsense, but the other things are very likely to be true.
"In other words, there will be a huge change in Liyue? Could it be like what happened in Dragon Spine Snow Mountain?"
After leaving the Ten Gold Association's base, Gu Sanqiu did not go to the Jade Pavilion as he had told Xingqiu, but flew straight out of Liyue Harbor and arrived at a deserted mountain top.
Gu Sanqiu took out a leaf and blew it. Not long after, a huge black eagle appeared on the other side of the sky. After circling for a while, it landed next to Gu Sanqiu and rubbed its head against Gu Sanqiu affectionately.
"Heh, he's grown so big, which is a bit beyond my expectations."
Gu Sanqiu touched the giant shadow sculpture that had been conquering the world in the suburbs of Lisha and was unwilling to go home.
Under his unstinting training, the Giant Shadow Eagle has evolved from a reconnaissance unit into a qualified combat unit. Its size has also become extremely large. If it is witnessed by ordinary people, they will probably mistake it for a monster invaded by the devil.
"Giant Shadow, the time has come."
Gu Sanqiu said softly, "The test I have been trying to delay seems to have no room for reversal. It seems that God does not want to see this scene continue to be delayed."
"The future will converge on the main road again. I have to say that this kind of predetermined fate is really outrageous, or even disgusting."
Gu Sanqiu had already guessed who was the mastermind behind all this, which was also the reason why he did not go to the Qun Yu Pavilion.
The man in black robe who appeared was just a pawn.
The real person hiding behind him is the old man.
It is indeed difficult for others to build a fairy cave in a short period of time, but it is not the case for the old man.
In other words, these were not the old man's original intentions, but certain things prompted him to interfere in this matter and return the future to a script that might have existed in the past.
Gu Sanqiu buried his face in the slightly hard feathers of the giant shadow eagle.
"Are you so impatient? Are you so eager to end the thousand-year rule of the Rock King?"
"The old man's final moments are about to end."
"It's the last bit of time. After he got the Hundred Unforbidden Talisman, he must have thought about researching it right away. If we go there now, we may not be able to find it."
During the short time that Gu Sanqiu was talking with Xingqiu, he did think of a countermeasure, such as immediately launching a bloody purge on the dark side of Liyue Harbor and killing all members of the Fatui.
However, before he kills them and forces them to hand over the Scroll of No Taboos, his actions will probably be stopped by his elder sister. Even his grandfather will inquire about the matter and prevent him from committing a greater sin of killing.
"If that's the case, the next Immortal Invitation Ceremony shouldn't be far away."
He doesn't pay attention to matters in this regard. Things like the ritual of inviting the immortals are dispensable to him, and he has plenty of time to communicate with the Emperor.
But if this is the case, the time when Jinmao came to Liyue is no longer of any reference value, and the so-called "Emperor's assassination" mentioned by Qingxian Dianyi is a more valuable time point.
He was very curious. If according to the established pattern, Kong would appear during the ceremony of summoning the immortals and then be discovered by the Qianyan Army soldiers who blocked the entire venue.
But now Jinmao is still making money in Mondstadt. Would he really come to Liyue for no reason at this time?
"Wendy."
Gu Sanqiu's heart sank. In fact, the drunkard poet had already given him a hint.
He said he wanted to trick the man, but he was still very honest and told him some of Dikarapian's information, which was undoubtedly contradictory.
But if this is just an attempt to conceal a deeper secret, then this behavior can be explained.
He knew that the old man had started to act, and at this critical moment, he would most likely find a reason to send Golden Retriever, a key person, over here!
"Oh, really, why are these old guys so troublesome?"
Gu Sanqiu suddenly laughed. He turned over and rode on the back of the giant shadow eagle, gently patting its thick back.
It seems that there is no way to open that road that he had not planned to open.
He urgently needed a large number of combat forces who could change their clothes and put on armor and kill people.
"Let's go and pick someone up from Liyue Harbor first. Since they have their own ideas, I'll just follow my own thinking."
“God rewards hard work, and man can conquer nature.”
Gu Sanqiu looked up at the sky and then lowered his head with a disdainful smile on his face.
"Anyway, it can't be a fake like you."
"Let's go, Giant Shadow."
"I'm going to take over the authority that the Gu family once had. Even though that's not the key to breaking the impasse, it's at least an important piece of the puzzle. I need their strength."
"I want to take the top spot again and command the entire cultivation world!"
