Start by summoning Black Death Mou

Chapter 193
Zhang Shouchen didn't know why things turned out like this.

After inferring that Gu Yu's uncle might be in Yuezhou City that day, Zhang Shouchen used some means to allow himself and Gu Yu to enter Yuezhou City.

Then he really found Gu Yu's 'uncle'.

It's just that the uncle said that many strange things have happened in Yuezhou City recently, and many people have disappeared, so Gu Yu should be more careful.

Zhang Shouchen felt that something was wrong, so he investigated with Gu Yu.

Since Gu Yu could only appear on cloudy days or at night, Zhang Shouchen deliberately chose a night without sunshine.

As a result, when the two of them investigated an alley, the night suddenly turned into daylight, and the sun hit Gu Yu's body all of a sudden.

Zhang Shouchen could still remember Gu Yu's panicked expression at that time, and he could never pretend that he was about to die.

But what was surprising was that nothing happened when the sunlight hit Gu Yu.

then…

There was a scene just like that.

Gu Yu was so excited to be exposed to the sun, she ran out and yelled loudly, and even now she is actively provoking the 'residents' here.

Seeing these people staring at Gu Yu with dead eyes, Zhang Shouchen knew he was in serious trouble.

This place is obviously a strange place created by weirdness. God knows what will happen if Gu Yu provokes them so recklessly.

"Oh, you still react to my words."

Gu Yu squinted his eyes, and invisible transparent threads had already gathered around him.

Ghosts are most sensitive to the breath of living people, so ghosts can see clearly whether a person is dead or alive almost at a glance.

But when Gu Yu came here, he found that all the people walking here were dead, and there was no breath of living people on them.

But at the same time, Gu Yu didn't feel threatened by these people, so he went up to provoke and see how these people would react.

There is no need to worry about the sun at this moment. Gu Yu himself is a ghost, and he will almost never die if he is not beheaded by the sun wheel knife, so Gu Yu is here to stand up and provoke, and he hardly has to worry about any danger.

And these people below just watched and didn't do anything to Gu Yu. Judging from this, it should just look weird here...

Eh?
As Gu Yugang thought about it, the picture in front of him began to spin.

After a while, Gu Yu realized that it wasn't that the surroundings were spinning, but that her head was spinning.

No warning, no warning, not even a feeling.

Gu Yu's head slipped off his neck, fell to the side of the house, and rolled down from above.

"Yu...Miss Yu!!!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Shouchen was taken aback for a moment, and then shouted hoarsely.

No one expected such a thing to happen, and Zhang Shouchen didn't know why Gu Yu's head suddenly fell off his neck.

All he knew was that Gu Yu died in front of him.

Staring blankly at Gu Yu's corpse still standing on the roof, and then looking at the 'passers-by' who had returned to normal and did not focus on him, Zhang Shouchen staggered forward, trying to restrain Gu Yu's corpse.

However, before Zhang Shouchen got close to Gu Yu, he heard a familiar voice.

"It's so strange, I don't feel anything, what on earth cut off my head? Hmm..."

This is Gu Yu's voice.

"?"

Zhang Shouchen was stunned, he turned his head with a terrified expression, and saw Gu Yu's head that had rolled to the ground, and was talking with his mouth open and closed like a normal person at this moment.

What frightened Zhang Shouchen even more was that the headless body jumped down from above, picked up Gu Yu's head from the ground, and carried her back to the alley.

Under Zhang Shouchen's gaze, Gu Yu, whose head was separated, held his head and placed it on his neck.

Even because it was placed crookedly, when returning to its original position, Gu Yu twisted it hard.

click-

The jaw-piercing sound of bones twisting made Zhang Shouchen's body tremble.

Looking at Gu Yu standing in front of him, Zhang Shouchen slumped on the ground, pointed at Gu Yu and said:
"You...you you...you..."

"Sorry, Zhang Shaoxia, did I scare you?"

Gu Yu turned his head and smiled at Zhang Shouchen, and said apologetically at the same time.

When Zhang Shouchen saw Gu Yu's smile, he rolled his eyes and passed out as if he had seen something that frightened him.

Gu Yu: "..."

Walking in front of Zhang Shouchen who had fainted, Gu Yu mentioned him and shook him. After confirming that he had passed out, Gu Yu said helplessly:
"Why are you so timid? Weren't you very courageous when you handled the corpses... Forget it, let's ignore this."

Throwing Zhang Shouchen to the ground casually, Gu Yu turned his head to look at the endless stream of people outside the alley, and raised the corner of his mouth and said:

"Interesting, I think people will die if their body and head are separated, so why don't you keep staring at me? This is really interesting..."

As Gu Yu said, he stretched out his hand under the 'sunlight' outside.

The sun is warm and seems to be no different from normal sunlight, but it does not do any harm to "ghosts" like Gu Yu.

Squinting his eyes slightly, enjoying the long-lost sunshine, Gu Yu became obsessed for a while.

She hadn't been in the sun for a long time.

……

"Master...Master..."

Gu's family, in Gu Chen's small courtyard, Gu Chen is sitting in the gazebo practicing ink painting, exercising his blood succession boundary from the pommel horse clan.

Liu'er timidly poked her head over and called to Gu Chen hesitantly.

Without turning his head, Gu Chen asked:
"what happened?"

Liu'er hesitated, she opened her mouth, and finally closed it again, without speaking for a long time.

Gu Chen felt strange, stopped his brush and turned to look at her:
"What's the matter?"

"Master, Liu Er... Liu Er heard from people outside, Master, you are... you are..."

Hearing what Liu Er said, Gu Chen knew what was going on. He shook his head and picked up the brush to continue, and then said:
"Say I'm a woman, right?"

"……Um."

Liu'er responded softly.

"Then do you believe what they say?"

"Liu'er... Liu'er... No matter whether you are a woman or not, young master, you are the young master in Liu'er's heart."

Liu'er thought about it and responded.

This answer was a bit tricky, but Gu Chen was not angry, but smiled and said:
"Since that's the case, today you serve me to take a bath."

"!!"

Liu'er was stunned, and immediately opened her eyes wide and asked: "Master, you really..."

"Won't you go and see for yourself?"

Gu Chen said lightly.

Generally, the maid who is close to the young master and miss will sometimes serve the master to bathe and change clothes. A young master like Gu Qiyuan will even do some favorite things with the maid while bathing.

Gu Chen once forbade anyone to serve him, it's not that Gu Chen doesn't like to enjoy, it's just that Gu Chen doesn't like others looking at his body.

But now even Liu'er thinks that Gu Chen is a woman, so there are some things that should be proved.

Liu'er was serving Gu Chen's side as Gu Chen's future housemaid, and even now that Gu Chen had eaten Liu'er and wiped it off, no one would say anything.

But still the same sentence, Gu Chen's body is not yet fully developed, and some things are not suitable for him to do now.

However, it is still possible to bathe yourself.

But then again, when mentioning these things, Gu Chen couldn't help thinking of Tao Qianqian who was still in Ningzhou.

Gu Chen's default wife, he doesn't know how she is doing now.

"Then...then Liu'er is going to prepare bath water?"

Liu Er asked cautiously.

Gu Chen rolled her eyes: "Who takes a bath in broad daylight? We'll talk about it at night."

Bathing in ancient times was very inconvenient, and it took a lot of time to boil water, so if it was not necessary, everyone took a bath before going to bed at night, unlike modern society, where you can wash whenever you want.

Liu'er blushed and nodded, said 'I got it' and stood aside without further words.

Gu Chen continued to paint, but only halfway through the painting, he frowned and put down the brush.

Drawing with a brush is too much a test of one's calligraphy skills. Gu Chen feels unaccustomed to drawing no matter what. After painting for so long, he hasn't made any obvious progress, let alone the means to make the pictures come true.

After thinking about it, Gu Chen thought it was better to wait until things like pencils were manufactured.

Yubia Danxi has already handed over the craftsmanship to the people in Anbe, and Danzo and others also know the skills of making pencils and pens. Now they are in the process of making them. I believe that Gu Chen will be able to use these things in a short time.

Putting away the painting in front of him, Gu Chen was about to get up and go out for a walk, when Jie Biao Danxi's figure appeared beside Gu Chen, sending a message to Gu Chen:

"The little princess is looking for you again."

As soon as Jie Biao Danxi finished speaking, a servant hurried over outside the door and said to Gu Chen:
"Master Ning Shun, the princess is here to look for you, look..."

"I see, I'll go out right away."

Gu Chen nodded to the servant and waved him to go down.

Jiebiao Danxi asked: "Don't you need me to follow you this time?"

"This time when the princess comes over, she will probably invite me to play in the palace, and those who can bring guards into the palace are almost all five-rank officials and above, and I am not qualified enough."

In other words, even if Jiebiao Danxi followed, she would probably be stopped outside the palace in the end.

Jie Biao nodded when he heard the words: "Okay, then I will wait for you at home."

"..."

Gu Chen was silent, he glanced at Jiebiao Danxi's figure, and her face that seemed a little rounder, and said:
"...You give me some exercise."

"?"

"This is an order!"

"!!!"

Jiebiao Danxi froze as if struck by lightning on the spot.

Regardless of Jiebiao Danxi's thoughts, Gu Chen said lightly:
"I'll give you ten days to at least master the martial arts of this world, or the martial arts taught by Danzo, or the breathing method, which is one of them. Otherwise, you can go to Danzo to be Anbu for me. "

"No... wait, boss!?"

Jiebiao Danxi let out a mournful cry, but Gu Chen didn't look at her, and left the small courtyard directly after issuing the order, looking for Zhao Muqiu who was waiting for him.

Just kidding, no matter how long Jiebiao Danxi continues to stay, Jiebiao Danxi will probably become fat Danxi, if she doesn't find something for her to do, does she really think she is here for a trip?

Since she is her personal bodyguard, she must do her duty as her personal bodyguard well. Gu Chen doesn't force her to do anything, as long as she can master one of the three types of martial arts, physical skills, and breathing techniques.

Even if she's just a beginner, she's considered a pass.

if not……

Then send it to Danzo to hone it.

Anyway, Gu Chen, who has a psychic scroll, doesn't need Jiebiao Danxi as much now as before, so it's good to let her exercise.

As if he didn't see Jiebiao Danxi's miserable and resentful eyes, Gu Chen went all the way outside and met the princess Zhao Muqiu.

Zhao Muqiu frowned slightly after seeing that Gu Chen was still wearing men's clothing, but this time she didn't say anything, and waved to Gu Chen:

"Let's go, Ning Shun, this princess will take you to play in the palace today."

"This... the spring hunting is not over yet... It's not good for me to go to the palace like this?"

Gu Chen said hesitantly.

The spring hunting is still going on, and some concubines will sometimes go to the spring hunting scene with Emperor Qi'an, so most of the palace's back rooms are now free.

However, it is against etiquette to visit someone when there is no one in the family, not to mention that this is the imperial palace, so Gu Chen needs to pay more attention to this aspect.

"What's wrong! Who does this princess want to play, and someone dares to stop it? Ning Shun, don't be afraid, you have obtained the permission of your father, you can enter and leave the palace at will, and with this princess by your side, no one will let you go." Dare to stop you!"

Zhao Muqiu said swearingly.

"All right……"

Zhao Muqiu is determined to take Gu Chen to the palace today.

Gu Chen also knew that the little princess thought of it as soon as she thought about it, but it was very difficult to change things once she had decided, and it was useless to refuse at this moment, so it was better to go and see with the little princess.

It just so happened that Gu Chen also wanted to know the structure of Qi's imperial palace. In order to really confront Emperor Qi'an one day, Gu Chen needed to make some preparations in advance.

After getting into the carriage, Zhao Muqiu happily led Gu Chen to the direction of the palace.

Zhao Muqiu looked very happy along the way, as if it wasn't Gu Chen who went to the palace for the first time today, but Zhao Muqiu.

At the same time, on the way, Zhao Muqiu also told Gu Chen about Emperor Qi'an's preferences intentionally or unintentionally.

For example, what Emperor Qi'an likes to eat, what color he likes, and what kind of places he usually goes to, these things have been told to Gu Chen in detail or roughly.

It made it look like Gu Chen was going on a blind date with Emperor Qi'an today.

Gu Chen understood what Zhao Muqiu was thinking, and he also found it funny.

This little princess is indeed innocent, and I don't know how this little princess will react if she knows that she and Emperor Qi Andi are in fact life and death rivals.

The time on the road was wasted by Zhao Muqiu's chattering speech.

Gu Chen also officially stepped into the power center of Qi State, where the Daqi Palace is located.

Emperor Qi'an gave Gu Chen a lot of power.

This does not refer to the official position, but the right to enter and leave the palace.

The palace is roughly divided into the front palace and the back bedroom.

The former is the place where the emperor holds his morning court, ceremonies, and discusses major events.

The back bedroom is where the emperor's princes and concubines live, also known as the harem, and idlers are not allowed to enter this place.

Generally, officials with power also have the right to enter and leave the palace, but this will only be the front palace where the early court is usually held.

But the right that Gu Chen got, allowed him to directly enter the emperor's back bedroom, that is, the harem, without having to greet anyone.

It is conceivable how great this right is.

If Gu Chen hadn't been designated as a 'female' by Emperor Qi'an, he might not be able to enter this harem at all, even if Emperor Qi'an opened his mouth.

Because there is no precedent in this world for foreign men to enter and leave the harem at will, unless they are eunuchs.

Thinking about it this way, the Gu family and Danzang let Gu Chen play the role of a woman, perhaps in order to obtain this right.

But the problem is that Emperor Qi'an has clearly seen Gu Chen's real body, but why is he willing to give Gu Chen such rights?

"Okay Ning Shun, you just sit here for a while, there is fish food for the fish over there, I will prepare pastries for you."

Following the princess all the way into the harem, Zhao Muqiu arranged Gu Chen to a gazebo by a pond.

Gu Chen didn't know where this place was, he was just walking with the princess, but Gu Chen had clearly written down the route along the road, and even if he came alone, he would be able to get here smoothly.

Now Gu Chen is more concerned about Zhao Muqiu's purpose.

Obviously it was Zhao Muqiu who invited Gu Chen here, but just as he brought Gu Chen here, he ran away using the excuse of preparing pastries, which is obviously very abnormal.

He pondered in his heart, thinking of Zhao Muqiu's recent behavior, Gu Chen somewhat guessed something.

Without asking too much, after Zhao Muqiu left, Gu Chen picked up the fish food on the side and poured it down towards the pond below.

When the fish food was sprinkled on the top of the pond, the fish below rushed over.

Gu Chen continued to sprinkle fish food like this, waiting for Zhao Muqiu to come back.

But Zhao Muqiu didn't wait, and Emperor Qi And came here one step ahead of her.

"If you feed them that, they'll die."

Emperor Qi'an's voice came from a distance with a smile.

Gu Chen was startled when he heard the words, turned his head to look, and was about to salute in fear:

"Grassman... No, my humble minister sees the Holy One..."

"Okay, there is no need to go through so many red tapes in front of me from now on, just get up."

Emperor Qi An replied with a smile, then walked to Gu Chen's side, took away the fish food in his hand and put it away, and said:

"Fish is a very stupid living thing. When they encounter delicious food, they don't care whether they will be full or not. They will just keep eating, and then let themselves be full. I just fed them not long ago. At this moment Feeding them any more will only make them die."

"...Sorry, Your Majesty, I know my mistake."

"I just said that there is no need for red tape, and you are here again, right?"

Emperor Qi'an looked at Gu Chen with a little amusement.

Gu Chen didn't know what Emperor Qi'an had in mind, so he could only laugh apologetically from the sidelines.

Seeing this, Emperor Qi'an restrained his smile a little, looked at Gu Chen seriously, and said:

"You are very good at disguising, but I have to say that in my eyes, your disguising is a bit fake."

"..."

Gu Chen was startled, and looked at Emperor Qi And with a restrained smile, with doubts and vigilance in his eyes.

Emperor Qi'an actually smiled this time:

"It's kind of true."

"..."

Gu Chen didn't understand what Emperor Qi'an meant, so he pondered for a while and said:
"Weichen... don't understand what the Holy Majesty is talking about..."

"It's best that you really don't understand." Emperor Qi An turned around to look at the fish school below, and then asked without waiting for Gu Chen to speak: "That girl Mu Qiu asked you to come, right?"

"Yes, His Highness invites you, and the grassroots dare not refuse."

Gu Chen answered truthfully.

Emperor Qi'an nodded and said:

"I guessed it was that girl, otherwise I wouldn't be dragged out of Shengxian Pavilion, this girl..."

When Emperor Qi'an said this, his face was full of doting smiles.

No one could disturb Emperor Qi'an when he was cultivating immortality, but Zhao Muqiu was the only one who was able to forcefully call Emperor Qi'an out from the Shengxian Pavilion.

This is something that only Zhao Muqiu can do.

The corners of Gu Chen's mouth twitched slightly when he heard the words, he immediately saluted again and said:

"My humble servant delays the Holy Master's pursuit of immortality, and deserves death. My humble servant..."

"What's your fault? That girl Mu Qiu called me out, not you."

Emperor Qi'an didn't seem to care much about interrupting Gu Chen's words.

Gu Chen once again sighed Zhao Muqiu's position in Emperor Qi'an's heart, and was about to find some words to perform again, but saw Emperor Qi'an walked to the edge of the pond, and slowly stretched out his right hand to point at the pond in front of him.

"Besides, I have almost practiced now, only the last step..."

Emperor Qi Andi said, his fingers waved slightly.

Then a scene that shocked Gu Chen happened before his eyes.

Emperor Qi'an didn't use any treasures, didn't use magic weapons, just raised his finger, the water flow in the pond seemed to be alive, and a water creation like a door was formed above.

Afterwards, the fish below frantically gathered here, and they rushed out of the water, trying to cross through the high door.

This situation made Gu Chen couldn't help thinking of a word.

Fish jumping over the dragon's gate.
