Chapter 43 The Second Jade Pendant

When Liu Yuan left, Gu Chen estimated the time, and when it was time to rest, he turned on the lamp, making it look like he had already rested.

But in fact, Gu Chen came to Yongye House to ask about the middle-aged man who was captured by Ying.

"How is he? Did you ask anything?"

Gu Chen asked Zi Tong who was in the room.

After Zitong became a ghost, she stayed in the Yongye House to get familiar with her current body, and never went out to eat people. Now she has not mastered any blood ghost skills, and has not entered the Twelve Ghost Months. Her only duty is to follow Gu Chen delivered the message.

To put it simply, she became Gu Chen's secretary.

Zitong didn't seem to have any inner resistance to this change, but quickly accepted the fact.

"He has a hard mouth and didn't say anything useful, but this was found out of him."

As Zitong said, she took out a jade pendant from her bosom. It was a jade pendant made of almost the same material as Jade Guanyin, except that it was engraved with dragon patterns.

Gu Chen took the jade pendant from Zitong's hand, and as soon as he touched it, he stood up from his seat in surprise:

"It turned out to be a jade pendant!"

Just now, Gu Chen sensed energy flowing out of the jade pendant and transferred it to his summoning formation. This proved that the key to gaining energy is not the so-called magic weapon, but the jade pendant that can store the magic weapon!
Holding the jade pendant, Gu Chen felt a little excited and asked:
"Did he say where this jade pendant came from?"

"So far, he hasn't said anything, so I don't really know."

Zi Tong replied.

The middle-aged man could be stubborn, even though he was tortured by Ying, he still didn't say anything useful. Heixinmou deduced that this should be an existence similar to a dead man cultivated by a certain force.

And Zi Tong also had the same judgment, thinking that this person should be an existence cultivated by a certain big force, and there might be another behind-the-scenes mastermind behind him.

"Based on your experience in Jianghu, can you tell which forces can cultivate such an existence?"

Gu Chen asked again.

Zitong recalled, and thought about it: "Among the sects and families on the rivers and lakes, except Tianjian Pavilion, there is no such power. If Tianjian Pavilion has a second magic weapon, his status will not only be as it is now. .”

"Except for Tianjian Pavilion?"

"..." Zitong was silent for two seconds, then raised her head and said, "Then only the imperial court is left."

Some of the powers in the Jianghu are stronger than Gu Chen imagined. The existence of the legendary magical soldiers and various rare treasures makes these Jianghu warriors who seem to be ordinary people on the surface possess the mystical and mysterious the power of.

But even so, these Jianghu sects and families were still oppressed by the court's Pinghu Si.

The fact that the middle-aged man was so arrogant, dared to attack Gu Chen and his party in broad daylight, but still spared Zheng Hong's life, proved that the Daqi court and Pinghu Division were really not easy to mess with.

So just like Zitong's guess, if there is any force in this world that can cultivate a middle-aged man, it is estimated that only the Daqi court can do it.

However, if the middle-aged man is really a member of the imperial court, then things will be much more troublesome.

Gu Chen pondered, and said to Zitong: "Let Ying ask him as soon as possible what kind of force he is from, and he can do anything to him as long as he is alive, I just want the result."

"it is good…"

Zitong nodded in response.

Seeing that her expression was not quite right, Gu Chen frowned and asked, "What's your expression? Are you pitying him?"

"…I…"

Zitong wanted to answer, but she opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.

In fact, it’s nothing to be pitiful. Zitong has been in the rivers and lakes for so long, and she is not a soft-hearted person, but... Zitong has never tortured anyone, and has never seen others being tortured, so I saw it before. Zitong couldn't bear the tormented appearance of the captured person.

"I'm just...not used to it..."

Finally Zitong chose a suitable word and said it.

"Adapt as soon as possible, and you will have to face more things like this in the future."

"Yes."

Zi Tong bowed her head and replied, no longer speaking.

After everything was arranged, Gu Chen looked at Zitong's ears hanging from his head, and said:

"I asked you to check the affairs of your fellow clan, how did you check?"

After asking about Tianjian last time, Gu Chen asked Zitong about the ears on her head.

Zitong also answered truthfully, saying that she has been like this since she was born, and the only person of the same family that she can see around her is her mother, and when her mother dies, only Zitong is left in this world like this.

After that, Zi Tong never saw a monster-like person with animal ears on his head.

Zitong never thought of finding her own clan, let alone exploring in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, so even if Gu Chen asked her to find her clan, she would have no clues for a while.

"...I haven't found anything yet."

Zi Tong answered truthfully, and the ears on the head seemed to be raised and pulled down a bit.

Gu Chen looked interesting, without urging him, he said, "Try to look for it, I'm quite interested in you."

"...You...Aren't you afraid of people like me?"

Covering her ears, Zitong asked with a complicated mood.

No matter who it is, when they see their true appearance, they will be terrified and disgusted, and treat her like a monster.

But the boy in front of him didn't feel afraid or disgusted at all when he saw him, he treated him like an ordinary person, which Zitong had never felt before.

"Why should I be afraid?"

Gu Chen looked at Zi Tong speechlessly, and said, "Compared with Hei Si Mou, who looks scarier?"

"...Master Mou Hei Si."

"So, I'm not afraid of him, why should I be afraid of you?"

Gu Chen told the truth.

He didn't think there was anything scary about purple pupils, but for Gu Chen who traveled from the modern age to the past, the purple pupils with animal ears had some cute spots that made people feel happy.

Otherwise, Gu Chen wouldn't let Zi Tong become his 'secretary'.

"Even so..."

Zitong looked at Gu Chen with complicated eyes.

What Gu Chen said is indeed true, the image of Heishimou with six eyes is much scarier than Zitong, but even so, Zitong was also a different kind before she became a ghost, and she was looked down upon and disgusted by countless people.

It was the first time I saw someone like Gu Chen who didn't care about her appearance at all.

"Okay, instead of caring about these things, why don't you help me do more things and step back."

As if he felt that he had asked enough, Gu Chen waved to Zi Tong to let her do her own thing, Zi Tong bowed slightly, without thinking about it, turned and left the room and walked towards Lu Niang's newly opened basement.

Lu Niang has not been idle these few days, and helped Gu Chen open up the space of Yongye House. Now there is a corridor outside the door of Yongye House, and there is an underground space under the corridor that is used as a prison.

The middle-aged man who was captured was interrogated by Ying there, and now Zitong had to follow Bao Chen's order to see the results of the interrogation.
