"Senior Qigong, this old poison creature is a friend of yours who came from the same world, and the two of you are actually both enemies and friends. Why would this old poison creature want to harm you?" Guhan asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Actually, this old man isn't too sure either. Logically speaking, the old poison creature and I fought all those years ago was for the Nine Yin Manual. Now that the old poison creature has mastered the Nine Yin Manual, there shouldn't be any enmity between us. He has no reason to harm me, which is why I trusted him so much back then."
"But he still tricked me into entering the Palace of Compassionate Peace and the Seamless Corridor. It really doesn't make sense at all.
But later on, this old man learned from others.
So it turns out that every ten years, the Seamless Corridor needs an expert on my level to serve as a sacrifice. Otherwise, the entire Seamless Corridor will suffer a backlash from the dimensional rifts, and in the end, it seems as though all of the dimensional rifts will be destroyed. "
"But an existence like me isn't that easy to deal with. That's why, in order to obtain some sort of reward from the Martyr's Palace, that old poison creature tricked me into entering this world. That really is the old poison creature's style!"
When Hong Qigong said this, his expression was very calm, but probably only Hong Qigong himself knew how much pain he had suffered.
"So that's how it is!"
Guhan nodded thoughtfully. "Right, Senior Qigong, apart from the sword-bearers in that carriage, did you meet any other native humans?
Or did you hear any interesting stories from the old poison creature? "
"Apart from those aborigines, I haven't seen any other aborigines. However, I did hear about this from Old Poison Creature's mouth."
Hong Qigong revealed a reminiscing expression. "I remember the old poison creature once said that the experts of the Martyr's Palace seemed to have gone to some Heavenly Court for a meeting, so there were no experts in the Martyr's Palace. That old poison creature actually became one of the few experts in the Martyr's Palace headquarters!"
When Hong Qigong reached this point, another spacetime warped, and Hong Qigong disappeared before Guhan. Guhan immediately took out his personal terminal and began to frantically search for information on it.
"Meeting?
Or a meeting in the Heavenly Court? "
Guhan fell into deep thought. Suddenly, Guhan recalled that eight hundred years ago, during the era of Zhe Tian Jiandi, Yuan Kou had gathered an unprecedented amount of power to attack Yuzhang City in order to prevent it from being established. At that time, in order to coordinate the various factions, the experts of the Martyr's Palace and the other Yuan Kou factions had gathered in the Heavenly Court to discuss how to distribute their forces.
This was also the only record of the experts of the Martyr's Palace heading to the Heavenly Court in large numbers. Following the failure of the attack, the Martyr's Palace had retreated first and had offended the other factions.
The relationship between the major factions had also become tense. Later on, there were no more records of the experts of the Martyr's Palace entering the Heavenly Court in large numbers. As for whether such a thing had happened in secret, Guhan didn't know. However, the possibility of this happening wasn't high.
Therefore, Guhan was almost certain that Hong Qigong had entered the Martyr's Palace around the time Yuzhang City was established. This also corresponded with the giant steel bull that ran on the ground that Hong Qigong had mentioned.
This was because 800 years ago, humans hadn't yet mastered the technology of maglev flying cars. All means of transportation were still cars from before the apocalypse, which was why they ran on the ground.
"This is really interesting!
I actually met Hong Qigong from 700 years ago. Did I return to 700 years ago, or did Hong Qigong come to 700 years later? "Guhan narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.
… …
What Guhan didn't expect was that just three days after saying goodbye to Hong Qigong, he would meet the third trapped Yuan Kou. Moreover, the other party also recognized him. As soon as they met, he intimately put his arm around his shoulder and enthusiastically called out, "Brother Guhan."
This person's appearance was very familiar to Guhan. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that this guy actually looked fifty to sixty percent similar to Liu Bei.
"Brother Guhan, how come you don't recognize your big brother at all?
We're the best of friends in the Seamless Corridor! "
The other party looked at Guhan with some surprise. In the end, he discovered that Guhan still had a confused expression on his face. Only then did he forcefully pat his head and say with some disbelief, "I say, my dear Brother Guhan, this can't be the first time you've seen me, right?"
"Well, this is indeed the first time I've seen you!" Guhan nodded helplessly.
"Haha!
No wonder we've met more than a dozen times. How could we be old acquaintances? I've been wondering when the two of us would meet again. So it's at this time! "
The other party suddenly laughed out loud. "Then let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Bang, the hooligan from Pei County!"
"So it's His Majesty the Ancestor of Han!"
When Guhan heard Liu Bang introduce himself, he immediately said with some respect. At the same time, this also explained why the other party actually looked 70 to 80 percent similar to Liu Bei. It was because Liu Bang was his ancestor!
Moreover, Guhan also remembered that he had heard Liu Bang's name many times from Hong Qigong. It seemed that Liu Bang was indeed trapped in this Seamless Corridor.
Liu Bang was Yuan Kou, while Guhan was a human. Although their positions were innately opposite, there was no doubt that the other party was the ancestor of the Chinese Han.
Therefore, although they were born to be enemies and were destined to fight to the death in the future, this did not prevent Guhan from maintaining respect for Liu Bang.
"Sigh!
What ancestor of the Han Dynasty? The thing I regret the most in my life is becoming the emperor. That's a boring position.
After ascending to that position, the wife who helps you in difficult times is no longer your wife, but the queen; the kind and lovely son is no longer your son, but the crown prince; the friends who treat each other with sincerity are no longer your friends, but your subjects; the brothers who work together are no longer brothers, but rivals who want to kill each other.
"Therefore, the position of the emperor is the most boring and uninteresting, and also the worst position in the world.
I'd rather be that hooligan from Pei County, living a life of idleness at home, than to ascend to that supreme position and end up alone! "
Liu Bang said with a sigh. This sounded very fake, but perhaps it was Liu Bang's heartfelt words.
Perhaps only someone like Liu Bang, who had sat on the high and mighty throne, could say such words.
"Come on!
Since this is the first time we've met, as your brother, I'll give you a gift as a token of my appreciation. "
To Guhan's surprise, Liu Bang took out a dimensional pocket from his body, and then took out a thick book from the dimensional pocket and put it in Guhan's hand.
Guhan did not look at the book, and his attention was firmly fixed on the dimensional pocket in Liu Bang's hand … Since the invention of the dimensional pocket, it was an item that could only be used by humans. At most, Yuan Kou could only use violence to destroy the dimensional pocket, but it was impossible for him to use it, because if he wanted to use the dimensional pocket, he must have sword essence, which was undoubtedly impossible for Yuan Kou.
"Are you curious about this?"
When Liu Bang saw Gu Han staring intently at the dimensional pocket in his hand, an amused smile suddenly appeared on his face as he asked, "Do you want to know why I can use this dimensional pocket as a Yuankou?"
"Of course!"
Guhan nodded. "If Your Majesty is willing to tell me the truth, Guhan is willing to exchange ten novels … no, twenty novels for the truth."
"Tut-tut!
You're really worthy of being our richest man, Sword Immortal Hong Jun.
But I can't accept these novels from you, or I'll be too thick-skinned.
The reason why I can use the dimensional pocket is because of a person's help. As for how he helped me, I can't tell you, but I believe you'll know the truth in the future. "
"All right!"
Seeing Liu Bang's attitude, Guhan knew that he could not get any information from Liu Bang, so he simply nodded. At this time, the whole world began to change again.
"It seems that our first meeting is over. Brother, take this book, we'll definitely meet again!"
Liu Bei cupped his hands at Guhan and disappeared again with the transition of time and space, leaving only a novel in Guhan's hand as a witness to Liu Bang's existence.
Only then did Guhan have a chance to carefully look at the novel that Liu Bang had left for him. As soon as he saw the name of the novel, Guhan trembled because this was not any other novel, but "Investiture of the Gods", which Guhan had been searching for.
Prior to this, Guhan had learned through various channels that Yuan Kou, who had caused a series of dimensional collapses in the human world, should be the legendary Saint Tongtian. Not only was Qingpin Tongtian's sword once the sword, but even the Four Fairy-Slaying Swords were Tongtian's weapons. The Saint, who had surpassed the Emperor Sword level, was also a power that existed in "Investiture of the Gods".
However, that was all Guhan knew. He did not know more about the story of Tongtian, the background of the world that existed in "Investiture of the Gods", as well as various characters and experts. This was undoubtedly a huge problem for Guhan.
Therefore, Guhan had wanted to get the original copy of "Investiture of the Gods" more than once, so that he could thoroughly understand the story of the entire prehistoric era of human beings through this novel.
However, the impact of the Great Cultural Destruction was too great. Even if Guhan borrowed Lu Xihua's privilege, he could not find any story about "Investiture of the Gods" at all.
Just when Guhan was about to lose hope, he never expected that he could get the original copy of "Investiture of the Gods" from Liu Bang. For Guhan, this was probably worth more than 10 million hero coins.
Therefore, in the following time, Guhan devoted all his energy to reading "Investiture of the Gods".
