Chapter 187

"The junior has never been different from ordinary people since he practiced, so he has always believed that he is just of ordinary physique."

"It wasn't until the first few months that I gradually felt something abnormal, and I was also very confused in my heart."

Gu Chen pretended to be ignorant and said.

What he said was actually combined with his experience in awakening the overlord of the sky. Some special physiques were not obvious at the beginning, and it took some opportunities to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly.

He didn't know exactly what the Emperor of Heaven was thinking, but such an ambiguous statement was obviously the most appropriate.

"This is normal. The physique of the Great Wu King's battle body is not like some physiques that are close to nature, such as the fire spirit body and the wood spirit body. At the beginning, it often does not show mountains or water."

"Many physiques even require human body treasures to be excavated to a certain level before they will gradually manifest supernatural powers. This must be the case with yours."

The old emperor smiled kindly, as if he believed in Gu Chen's words.

Gu Chen couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, pretending to nod on the surface that he half understood.

"Da Wu King Battle Physique! That's great, I have another powerful physique in Heaven!"

Qiangwei Killing God also showed a smile, unexpectedly, Chen Gu, who originally thought he had only an ordinary physique, would have such a talent.

It's reasonable to think about it this way. With a normal physique, how could it be possible for him to achieve this strength at his age?

"The blood of this little monkey is also very extraordinary. It must be the descendant of a powerful monster clan."

The praise from the Heavenly Emperor made the white ape look embarrassed.

"You all have good talents, work hard, Chen Gu, you may one day be able to become a Daoist, but."

The old Heavenly Emperor suddenly changed the subject, "Today you beat Cui Zheng to a serious injury, but you have brought trouble to Tiangong."

"The junior knows it's wrong."

Gu Chen did not explain, the ins and outs of his battle with Cui Zheng must be seen clearly by the eyes of the Emperor of Heaven, and it is meaningless to excuse himself.

To be honest, after cultivating without burning gold, the power of the Sun-Holding-Moon Hammer was indeed beyond his expectations, and it hurt Cui Zheng too badly.

"If you know your mistakes, you need to know how to repent. Cui Zheng is seriously injured right now. I can only entrust you with the task that I originally planned for him to complete."

"I don't know what task it is?"

Gu Chen was surprised for a while, this is the real reason why the Emperor of Heaven called him here.

"Your Majesty, it might be more appropriate to entrust that task to someone else."

Qinglin Killing God also showed surprise and reminded.

"He injured Cui Zheng, so he should take over this task."

The old heavenly emperor spoke conclusively, and Qinglin Shashen, who knew his temperament fairly well, immediately understood that he had made up his mind, so he didn't say any more.

"Chen Gu, listen carefully, the thing is like this."

The old Heavenly Emperor began to explain the mission, "I, Jiang Yige, the Daoist of the Heavenly Court, went to the Zhenwu Academy of the Middle Earth Empire two months ago, but disappeared inexplicably, and there was no news for two full months."

"Cui Zheng is familiar with Jiang Yige. Originally, Heavenly Court planned to send him to investigate this matter, but I didn't expect you to seriously injure him. This task seems impossible to complete."

"So, the old man intends to ask you to take over for him to carry out this task. The level of the task is the prefecture level. Do you have any objections?"

Gu Chen's expression froze.

Prefectural-level missions are generally assigned by the golden killer. Since the God of Heaven has designated the matter of finding someone as prefectural-level, it means that the risks encountered may not be small.

Also, it turned out to be Zhenwu Academy!

Gu Chen couldn't help but think of a young girl. If she hadn't died, she must have been at Zhenwu Academy, right?

"The junior has no objection."

Gu Chen knew that the Heavenly Emperor made it clear that he wanted to take over this task, so how could he say no, he readily agreed.

"Very good, the specific content of this mission will be understood after you arrive at the Kyushu sub-helm. Remember, if you encounter any trouble that you cannot solve, report it to the Heavenly Court in time."

"The junior understands."

"Well, you can go down."

After the Heavenly Emperor finished speaking, Gu Chen obeyed the order and left with a full heart.

As soon as he left, Qinglin Shashen couldn't help saying.

"Your Majesty, Chen Gu and Jiang Yige have never met each other. I am afraid that the two sides will not trust each other. It would be wiser to send other quasi-daoists?"

"Besides, the current situation in Kyushu is a little sensitive, right? Then Chen Gu, to be honest, I think he is a restless master."

The old heavenly emperor smiled and said a word without beginning or end. "Qinglin, do you know catfish?"

"Catfish? That seems like a mortal fish?"

Qinglin Shashen was confused.

"Catfish is a very active fish that feeds on other fish. In the mortal world, if a fisherman wants to transport the fish to the city to sell, in order to ensure that the fish will not die on the way, he will Put a catfish in the water."

"Catfish like to eat small fish, and other fish will swim desperately in order to survive. In this way, they are still alive when they arrive in the city, and they can be sold for a good price."

The old heavenly emperor said meaningfully.

"Your Majesty, what does this Chen Gu have to do with Catfish? You specially called him here today, you couldn't just send him a mission, right?"

Qiangwei Killing God asked in surprise.

In fact, both she and Qing Lin didn't understand the real intention of the Emperor of Heaven to summon Gu Chen.

"You don't need to ask so many questions, some things will be understood later."

There was wisdom in the eyes of the old emperor, "You just need to know that this son of Chen Gu is the old man's catfish!"

...

Gu Chen left the Heavenly Emperor's residence, and his mind couldn't help but fell into memories.

Going to Zhenwu Academy to investigate Daozi's disappearance aroused his deepest concerns.

"It's been a year, it's been a whole year."

Gu Chen murmured.

At this time a year ago, he was just an ordinary disciple of the Wuchen Sect, but now, he has become a quasi-daoist of the Heavenly Court.

Too many accidents happened this year, and things always followed one after another, so that he didn't realize that time was passing by so fast.

He is seventeen years old.

My own birthday passed without even knowing it in the world of Jiuyang Jiuyue.

Zhenwu Academy reminded him of Ye Qingshuang, that cheap fiancée who once forced him to break off the engagement just to step into this so-called holy place of cultivation.

"I don't know if she has realized her wish?"

Gu Chen thought of the catastrophe in Fenglin Mansion a year ago, he still didn't know whether Ye Qingshuang was dead or alive.

According to the information obtained afterwards, there was no news of her death, so it is possible that she did not die.

If she didn't die, she could only go to Zhenwu Academy.

Thinking that there might be her in the place he was about to go, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

In the past, he hated her to the core, but after experiencing the tragedy in the Fenglin Mansion, those previous conflicts, now that he thought about it, became nothing worth mentioning.

He never missed her, but wished all the old ones were alive.

After all, there may only be a few single seedlings left in the former Wuchen sect.
