Everlasting Immortal Firmament

June 14th, Dachen State, Hulao Pass, Gufeng Town. There is a mansion in the town called 'Ancient Mansion'.

The interior of the ancient mansion and the surrounding streets were filled with banquets, and there was an endless stream of guests coming and going. How lively!

But just now, a group of people in filial piety rushed in, and the original noise stopped abruptly. A large number of troops guarded the four directions, making the originally festive scene instantly full of chilling spirit.

Isn't today Mr. Gu's 70th birthday? The surrounding barracks should have been prepared earlier. Why are there so many soldiers?

No, no, although Mr. Gu is not involved in politics, no one in the government dares to make things difficult for Mr. Gu!

Before that was the crown prince, the one wearing filial piety was the crown prince, followed by civil and military officials!

How can it be?

It's true, it's really the prince, why is the prince wearing filial piety? It can't be...!

……………………

………………

...

The guests on the street suddenly showed horror.

There is only one time for the crown prince to wear filial piety, and that is when the current emperor dies?

Isn't the current emperor on the front line to fight in person? And I heard that there are consecutive victories?

Everyone showed horror, obviously the news came too late.

-----------

Ancient House!

The guests all had dinner in the front yard and the street, but in the backyard of the ancient mansion, it was quite quiet. There was a seven-story tower in the backyard, which was the tallest building in the ancient mansion and even the whole town. Standing on the tower, one could overlook everything in the town.

The name of the tower, Sky Tower!

Under the Chongtian Pagoda, a large number of solemn people from the ancient mansion stood, watching a group of civil and military officials in filial piety, accompanied by Prince Chen, kneeling under the Chongtian Pagoda. One by one showed grief.

Accompanying him was only one person who did not kneel, and that was Chen Taiji's third grandfather, a man in white from that sect.

Nephew Chen Liangyi begs to see Uncle Gu, and asks Uncle Gu to avenge his father! Crown Prince Chen Liangyi said sadly.

The Kingdom of Chen will be destroyed soon, how long can I remain the prince? Once Chen Guo is destroyed, he will even be angered by Xianzong, and his life and death will not be known. Father said that this person can turn the tide. And he is also the sworn elder brother of the father.

As long as Chen Guo can be saved, not to mention kneeling, even kneeling for three days and three nights, Chen Liangyi will not frown.

People in the ancient mansion, many servants stared wide-eyed.

This, this is the present prince! Also, is this a civil and military official? How can it be? Just to see the master?

Gu Hai, I am Chen Tianshan of the River Sect of the Qing Dynasty. Do you still remember? Prince Chen has already brought all the civil and military officials to kneel in front of you, what else do you want? The man in white who was standing was shouting loudly.

Everyone in the ancient mansion watched with frowned eyes. Leading him was a middle-aged man in green shirt in his thirties, with a broad face and ordinary appearance, but standing outside the Sky Tower, all the people in the ancient mansion looked up to him.

Young master? How about...! A servant seemed to have something to say.

The middle-aged man in the green shirt looked over coldly, and with one look, the servant who was frightened immediately fell silent.

The prestige of the ancient mansion cannot be challenged.

The young master in green shirt ignored everyone's request to see him, but waited patiently outside the Sky Tower.

Uncle Gu, it was Emperor Father who asked his nephew to beg Uncle Gu before his death, and also asked me to say sorry to you on behalf of Emperor Father. Back then, Emperor Father was sorry for you! Chen Liangyi cried while trembling all over.

Alas~~~~~!

Inside the Sky Tower, there was a distant sigh.

Everyone's expressions changed.

Then I heard an old-fashioned voice coming from the Sky Tower: Chen Xianshi is here, I am neglecting you. Gu Qin, please ask Chen Xianshi to go up the tower, and let Chen Liangyi come up!

The eldest son Gu Qin, who was guarding the tower entrance, suddenly looked solemn and said: Yes, father-in-law!

Kuang!

Gu Qin pushed open the pagoda door, and said to Chen Tianshan: Master Chen is negligent, my father has not seen visitors for a long time, this time I have offended you, please come inside!

Chen Tianshan nodded.

Prince Chen, please come inside! Gu Qin said solemnly.

Chen Liangyi got up immediately with a trace of excitement.

Gu Qin led Chen Tianshan and Chen Liangyi into the Sky Tower!

Kuang!

The tower door closed again.

Outside, civil and military officials looked at the pagoda curiously.

The tower has seven floors, and the two found that each floor is full of bookshelves filled with countless books.

All the way to the sixth floor.

Chen Tianshan and Chen Liangyi finally saw Gu Hai.

That was the window of the Sky Tower. At this moment, there was really a huge Go board, but this board was different. On a normal chessboard, there are nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, but on this chessboard, there are twenty-nine vertical and horizontal lines.

The chessboard is full of chess pieces, and the layout of the chessboard cannot be seen clearly.

Beside the chessboard, stood an old man in black, about seventy years old, with snow-white hair and a serious face. Although there were some wrinkles, his eyes were extremely bright, and those eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts. , let Chen Liangyi's heart tremble.

This is the richest man in the six countries, Gu Hai?

You are Gu Hai? No, you are not Gu Hai! Your eyebrows...? Chen Tianshan stared.

The old man smiled slightly and said, Master Chen, do you still remember the pleading under the waterfall? The old man is indeed Gu Hai, but he just grew his beard and eyebrows to avoid unnecessary troubles!

Chen Tianshan took a closer look, and indeed, he was Gu Hai, but the part that he remembered the most deeply back then was all fake? The person was still the same person, and his face didn't change much, but if Gu Hai didn't decrypt it, Chen Tianshan would never have imagined that he was the Gu Hai he had seen before.

Uncle Gu, my father is dead. He said that you are his sworn elder brother. I implore Uncle Gu to avenge my father for the sake of brotherhood! Chen Liangyi knelt down again.

Gu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Chen Liangyi, and said silently for a while: I did sworn sworn brothers with him back then, but he also wanted to put me to death back then, brotherhood doesn't count!

Ah? Chen Liangyi's expression froze.

Chen Tianshan frowned slightly.

However, Gu Hai looked at Chen Tianshan and said: I know the purpose of your coming. The three passes were lost, especially Gao Xianzhi killed the 600,000 troops of the three passes. The whole of the Song Kingdom was united, and the Chen Kingdom was about to be broken. At this time, only Do you think it is possible for the 100,000 soldiers of the Song Dynasty to block the 800,000 tiger and wolf troops of the Song Dynasty?

What? Gao Xianzhi killed 600,000 troops? That's a prisoner! Chen Liangyi exclaimed.

It was at noon four days ago! Gu Hai said lightly.

You, how do you know? Chen Liangyi exclaimed.

Gu Hai did not speak.

On the side, the eldest son Gu Qin served at the side, respectfully poured a cup of tea for Gu Hai, and then poured another cup for Chen Tianshan.

Gu Hai slightly motioned to Chen Tianshan, and sat down by himself.

Chen Tianshan looked at Gu Hai, his eyes were filled with strangeness. Ordinary mortals would respect him as a god when they saw him as a member of the Immortal Sect, but Gu Hai was so ordinary?

Chen Taiji said, you can! Chen Tianshan sat down and said in a deep voice.

Gu Hai picked up the tea and took a sip: The mountains and rivers are broken, and it only takes half a month for Gao Xianzhi's army to drive straight down and reach Hulao Pass. You guys know better than me what kind of goods the 100,000 troops in Hulao Pass are. Want this group of people to resist Gao Xianzhi's 800,000 tiger and wolf army? Oh, let's not talk about resistance at that time, there are some people in this group who surrender to the enemy, maybe without Gao Xianzhi's action, the Hulao Pass will be broken by itself!

The expressions of Chen Tianshan and Chen Liangyi changed. This was not Gu Hai's alarmist talk, but a very possible thing.

Uncle Gu, I beg you to go out and save Chen, as long as you save Chen Guo, you can do whatever you want! Chen Liangyi shouted immediately.

On the side, Chen Tianshan also said affirmatively: Not bad! Do you have a solution?

Gu Hai narrowed his eyes suddenly and said, Oh? Since the Immortal Sect cares so much about the Great Chen Kingdom, why didn't Master Chen go there in person? I think with your power, it is not difficult to take the head of a general among thousands of armies. Besides, you The secular country controlled by Xianzong is not limited to this big Chen country, why don't you recruit other countries to help? Why did you come to me, an old man full of money?

Chen Tianshan frowned slightly, and said in silence for a while: This time, it can only be a war between the two countries, and no foreign aid is allowed, and people from the sect are not allowed to intervene!

Not allowed? Gu Hai's expression changed suddenly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Although it was only three words, Gu Hai heard a lot of information in an instant, and seemed to see a huge opportunity, so that a ripple suddenly appeared in Gu Jing's heart.

Suppressing the wave, Gu Hai took a sip of tea.

Chen Guo is hopeless, I'm just here to ask at the end, if you can't, then that's it! Chen Tianshan said in a deep voice.

Gu Hai didn't speak, but looked at Chen Tianshan and Chen Liangyi.

After a while, Gu Hai said solemnly: It's okay to save Chen, but...!

Can you save Chen Guo? How? Chen Tianshan showed a hint of surprise.

I have one condition! Gu Hai did not explain, but solemnly said.

Oh? Chen Tianshan looked at Gu Hai.

Uncle Gu, whatever you want, as long as I have it, I can give it to you! Chen Liangyi also got up and said in surprise.

Gu Hai ignored Chen Liangyi, but stared at Chen Tianshan and said, I need it. The lord of the Qinghe Sect will empower me and help me break through the barrier of the Houtian Realm with all my strength! Attack the Xiantian Realm! And, let me learn the skills of the Xiantian Realm in Qinghe Sect Law!

What? You will reach Consummation the day after tomorrow? Chen Tianshan suddenly stood up in shock.

Gu Hai nodded solemnly.

Impossible, your bone, I saw it back then, you can't practice internal strength at all, you only start to practice after the age of 30, such a poor bone, you can only rely on external strength to cultivate, and it is impossible to surpass the fifth level of Houtian in a lifetime Yes, but, you said that you are the tenth level of Houtian Realm? This is absolutely impossible! Chen Tianshan shouted immediately.

External skills? Others can't do it, but it doesn't mean that old people can't do it. The lifespan of the Acquired Realm is only a hundred years, and once it reaches the Xiantian Realm, the lifespan will be two hundred years. The old man has reached his twilight years. If he doesn't break through the Xiantian Realm, his external skills will be lost. Well, fortunately, I have already reached consummation the day after tomorrow, and you are not enough to help me even at the Jindan stage, only your suzerain can, you go and tell your suzerain, as long as he agrees to my conditions, I will save Chen! Gu Hai said in a deep voice road.

Chen Tianshan stared at Gu Hai, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

External work? How ridiculous, external skills can also be cultivated to the perfection of the acquired state? That vulgar method of cultivation relies entirely on self-torture. Even if one exhausts all one's potential, it is impossible to surpass the fifth level of the Houtian Realm. It has never been done before. Gu Hai actually reached the consummation of the acquired state?

I only have this one request! How about it? Gu Hai stared at Chen Tianshan with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

You save Chen Guo first, I will tell the suzerain! Chen Tianshan said in a deep voice.

Gu Hai smiled slightly and shook his head. He didn't speak, just looked at Chen Tianshan.

The suzerain is not here at all, how can I help the suzerain agree? You save Chen Guo first, and I will report to the suzerain! Chen Tianshan said in a deep voice.

Gao Xianzhi's army will arrive at Hulao Pass, at least half a month. Half a month is enough time for you to go back to the sect. As long as Sect Master Qinghe promises, I will immediately save Chen Guo, Chen Guo saves, and then fulfill the promise It's not too late, but I want your suzerain's decree to promise! Gu Hai stared at Chen Tianshan and said firmly.

Half a month? How many things will happen in half a month? After half a month, Hulao Pass may be broken! Then what will you use to save Chen Guo? Besides, after half a month, the 800,000 Tiger and Wolf Army of Song State will be gone. The soldiers are coming to the city, how can you resist this 100,000 inferior troops? Chen Tianshan frowned and said unhappily.

Half a month? Don't worry, if you can't leave, how to resist is my business. The sooner you come back, the sooner Chen Guo will be out of danger! Gu Hai said with a trace of firmness in his eyes. Without the promise, Gu Hai would never take this risk.

Chen Tianshan stared at Gu Hai, his eyes turned cold and said: Gu Hai, this is what you said, if you can't save Chen Guo, you know what will happen if you deceive us...!

Gu Hai didn't care, but turned his head to look at Chen Liangyi and said: Since Chen Taiji is dead, the old grievances and grievances are all for nothing. Although I live in Chen Country, the tax I pay to Chen Country every year is also extremely huge. It's not me who accepts you. The protection of Chen Guo, the current six countries, as long as I want to move, no matter which country will welcome me, I stayed in Chen Guo these years, but I just have some concerns. I have no grudges with you, and I don’t owe you anything. Think If you want me to save Chen, you can wait for news from Master Chen!

Yes, thank you Uncle Gu! Chen Liangyi immediately said respectfully.

Let's go back first, there are many guests in my house today, so I won't entertain any more! Gu Hai said to see off the guests.

Yes! Chen Liangyi nodded.

Chen Tianshan stared at Gu Hai for a while: I'll go back to the sect right away and ask the suzerain for the decree. I hope what you said is true, otherwise..., hum!

Turning his head, Chen Tianshan took Chen Liangyi and left quickly.

On the side, Gu Qin looked at Gu Hai, frowned slightly and said: Father, Chen Guo is almost at a loss this time, how can we save Chen? Will it be......!

However, Gu Hai looked at the Go on the table again, took a deep breath and said, I know there is no solution, and according to their tone, the sect is not allowed to intervene, only secular forces are fighting, it is tantamount to 'crippled infants fighting murderers'! But , This is the last chance to be a father. The acquired realm and the congenital realm are separated by a single realm, but the world is turned upside down. When I step into the congenital realm, I can become young and return to my prime! I am only short of this one chance, and I must Become younger! Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, it must be dismantled!

Yes! Gu Qin nodded worriedly.

I'm thinking about the countermeasures, don't disturb me, go down! Gu Hai said in a deep voice.

Father, today is your birthday, do you want...!

No need, I have received the best birthday gift just now, let's go...! Gu Hai waved his hand.

Gu Qin nodded and retreated.

Gu Hai leaned against the window, watching the troops below retreat. Playing a black Go piece in his hand, his brows were deeply furrowed: On my 30th birthday, I collected 100,000 endgame pictures, and found this 'black chess' in the cellar of the library. I don't want you to take me from It has been forty years since the earth was brought into this world. What secrets do you hide? Is it just for the one hundred thousand endgame pictures? After decades of comprehension, I have almost comprehended it, but, These years, you have not moved at all, how do you want me to penetrate you?

Gu Hai sighed slightly, and placed the black chess piece between his eyebrows.

Buzz!

The black chess unexpectedly penetrated the skin strangely, and got into the center of Gu Hai's eyebrows.

Gu Hai's mind sank between his eyebrows, it was a space between his eyebrows, below the space, there were a hundred thousand chessboards, on which were placed endgames, and the hundred thousand endgames seemed to be in constant operation, amidst the constant changes of chess pieces, the 'black chess' Just floating in the sky above the hundred thousand, looking down on the endgame of the hundred thousand like a king.
