Chapter 63: Immortal in the Black Abyss
"If there is no second Xu Ge in the pharmacy, then perhaps I am the Xu Ge that the West Factory is looking for."
Su Chen, said so.
"It seems to be...Xu Ge."
Yu Zhong said tremblingly.
In the ruined temple.
The white-haired prince turned his head and looked over with an inexplicable expression.
"I am a member of the Zhou royal family, the grandson of His Majesty Xuanlong, the seventh son of Emperor Yan, Jie, and I have come from the old capital. I am here to show my respect."
"If you want to go back to the palace, why don't you go together?"
Now, knowing Xu Ge's identity, even General Lei was no longer arrogant, but bowed apologetically.
He was not respecting Xu Ge.
Rather, it is the name Xu Ge and the peak power that he will soon possess.
"it is good."
"Let's go together."
The wind and rain howled and the roads were muddy.
far away.
The majestic imperial city stretches for hundreds of miles, with the endless city walls visible in the distance.
The rain stopped.
In the carriage.
Yu Zhong couldn't help but glance at Xu Ge. To this day, he is still in a dream.
The Wujian Bureau is fighting against the Seal Bureau.
He was one of the victims.
Sent to Jinjiang.
who ever thought.
In Jinjiang, he first met Master Su, who was transferred back to the palace by the leader of the Eight Tigers. On the way, he first met Prince Jie, and then met the heir of Lord Xu...
His luck turned.
Xu Ge, carrying Qingque in a box on his back, followed the white-haired prince's motorcade into the imperial city and stopped in front of the strange yet familiar palace gate.
“In the blink of an eye, nearly three years have passed.”
"Daliang is like a dream, and in a blink of an eye, it has become a week."
Su Chen sighed a little.
Yu Zhong followed behind Su Chen, quite respectfully. Behind him, the white-haired prince Jie, was about to part, and finally couldn't help asking.
"Once you step into this palace gate, you will be in charge of the Western Factory and have unlimited power. How do you feel?"
In his twenties, he became the helmsman of the Western Factory.
He is more than just a high-ranking official.
Young people are successful at a young age, and they are riding a horse at full speed. It is not an exaggeration to see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.
of course.
The premise is that he is really Xu Ge.
and.
Can suppress the eight tigers!
"No feeling."
"Power is like a floating cloud to me."
"If I want it, what does the world matter to me?"
Su Chen walked towards the palace gate.
“What a big mouth.”
"Since you are like floating clouds, why did you come back? The world has just been settled. In the court of the Great Zhou, the old Liang and the new Zhou are wrestling with each other. I see that you have no cultivation at all. If you make a mistake one day, you will be crushed to pieces."
Prince Jie was puzzled.
"how about you."
"You have come from afar, from the old capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and you have traveled thousands of miles to come here. There is no place for you here. Why did you come?"
Su Chen did not answer, but asked Prince Jie instead.
all of these.
Prince Jie was shocked and felt as if he was being seen through. He subconsciously took a step back and bumped into General Lei's armor.
"I came back because the world is so big and I have nowhere to go. Only here do I feel familiar."
"That's all."
Say it.
Su Chen stepped into the palace gate.
boom!
The palace gates are closed.
Before Su Chen could carry the wooden box and walk inside, a man from a team of patrolling armored guards rushed out, holding a crossbow and roaring, and charged towards him.
"Xu Ge, you came to the palace and wanted to inherit the West Factory, which means you inherited the blood hatred of my East Factory. You are here to die!"
The crossbow arrow shot through the air, but missed.
The patrolling armored guards were furious and reacted quickly, attacking together and killing the man.
"So brave."
"How dare the East Factory spy be so bold."
Yu Zhong was furious.
No one could have imagined that the East Depot got the news just after he entered the palace. Xu Ge had no skills and was caught off guard. If he had been more punctual, he might have succeeded.
"Eunuch Xu was frightened."
"The people from the East Factory are so arrogant."
Yu Zhong, looking at the dead body of the Dongchang spy lying on the ground, wished he could go up and stab him twice more.
"Is it really the East Factory?"
Su Chen, this is very meaningful.
hum!
Yu Zhong was stunned.
If it’s not the East Factory, who else could it be?
Could it be...
"Eight Tigers?"
Yu Zhong said immediately.
"impossible."
"Eunuch Xu...Eunuch Xu, you must have misunderstood. Ba Hu is loyal to Eunuch Xu. Even if he doesn't recognize you, there is no way he would stab you to death in front of the palace gate."
"The West Factory also needs to maintain its dignity."
Su Chen carried the wooden box on his back, stepped over the corpses on the ground, didn't even look at them, and walked straight forward.
The Great Zhou Palace was built on the ruins of the old Liang Palace, and he was quite familiar with the place.
soon.
He walked to the spot where the pharmacy had been.
Gone.
“The pharmacy is gone.”
"His Majesty Xuanlong is kind and benevolent. He expanded the Imperial Hospital and set up a special office to provide medical treatment and medicine for eunuchs and palace maids, and he charges almost no money..."
Talking about Emperor Xuanlong, Yu Zhong couldn't help but feel admiration.
He was also born as a eunuch.
People have some respect for Xu Ge, not just because of his status as the heir of the Western Factory, but also because of his deeds in saving the eunuchs at the lower level.
"correct."
"Is he also Ba Hu?"
Su Chen walked on the wooden bridge, looked into the distance, saw a familiar figure, and fell silent.
The remains of the pharmacy have now become a small lake with a pavilion and a wooden bridge.
In his sight.
In the pavilion.
There was a eunuch with a slender figure and a youthful appearance. There was always a trace of depression between his brows that was difficult to dispel.
He, wearing a red robe and with gray hair, stared at Su Chen with complicated eyes, as if he was happy, relieved, and worried.
He is coming.
"He, why is he here?"
"Yes."
"He is also one of the Eight Tigers, but he has always been a loner. He is not one of us who has been with Lord Xu since the Tianwu years."
"Why, does Eunuch Xu know him?"
Yu Zhong was a little confused.
The eight tigers are all of the second rank, and the strongest among them has reached the first rank.
Daliang time.
Xu Ge was just a eunuch in a pharmacy, with no cultivation at all, so how could he know Ba Hu?
"Do you remember the assassination in front of the palace gate?"
"It's definitely the East Factory!"
"It has nothing to do with Ba Hu."
Yu Zhong was very confident in his words and was dissatisfied with Xu Ge's prejudice against Ba Hu.
"perhaps."
"It was not a stabbing."
"I am just using this assassination to confirm my identity as Xu Ge and let all the eunuchs in the palace know that Xu Ge is back..."
Su Chen spoke lightly.
Yu Zhong was puzzled.
however.
next moment.
The young eunuch in red robe and with gray hair, who was one of the Eight Tigers, had already come onto the wooden bridge and was staring at Su Chen.
"Butler Ye."
Yu Zhong was a little nervous and stood in front of the two men.
after all.
Everyone knows about the Western Factory.
This murderous tiger practices the Heaven-Devouring Magic Skill, which is a direct descendant of Mr. Xu. He is bloodthirsty and cruel, and has the tendency to become the leader of the Eight Tigers and take charge of the Western Factory.
More than half of the Eight Tigers were recruited by him.
Also him.
He single-handedly founded the Military Supervision Bureau and swallowed up all the red-robed people, dignitaries, and gangs of the old Liang Dynasty. Only then did he overcome the internal strife of the West Factory, the external battle with the East Factory, and the dying decline of being attacked from all sides, and he suddenly became a behemoth.
Even if Chu Xiao, the leader of the East Factory, reaches the top, the West Factory still has the confidence to fight back.
This person is Xu Ge's biggest competitor.
Could it be...
I can't hold it back any longer and want to take action.
Could it be that this person really arranged the assassination? He wanted to take the top position?
previous years.
When Xu Gong was still alive.
He doesn't have any deep feelings for Mr. Xu.
I don’t know either.
Why did Mr. Xu support him all the way?
Yu Zhong became nervous.
Xu Ge is the successor designated by Mr. Xu, and he must not make any mistakes.
"Butler Ye..."
Just when Yu Zhong wanted to say something.
In a silent atmosphere.
Su Chen spoke.
"Why aren't you dead yet?"
The words were so shocking that Yu Zhong was horrified.
This is a first-rank eunuch, the leader of the Eight Tigers of the Western Factory, a bloodthirsty killer! Xu Ge, a pharmacy eunuch with no cultivation, how dare he provoke him? !
Just when Yu Zhong thought Xu Ge was about to be beaten to a pulp.
thump!
The gray-haired young steward in front of him knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Su Chen, tears streaming down his face.
"Master Xu."
"It's great that you're alive."
"Xiao Xuanzi, meet Mr. Xu, kill the evil tiger, and meet the helmsman of the West Factory!"
far away.
The nobles in the palace watched this scene in silence.
They have the red robes of the Great Zhou's Seal-Keeping Supervisor.
There are also red robes from the Military Supervision Bureau.
Even the princes came here to see the lucky man who was chosen by Xu Han, one of the three ministers of Daliang, to inherit the Western Factory.
"I thought it would be a bloody fight, an internal fight within the West Factory. It's boring, too boring! Haha, a person with poor roots and no cultivation is at the helm of the West Factory. Tsk tsk, the West Factory will be finished sooner or later."
The red-robed supervisor of the Great Zhou Dynasty left with a sneer.
To Su Chen.
They were dismissive.
"It doesn't look that surprising."
"but."
"Even the evil tiger has surrendered. There is no doubt that he has taken full control of the West Factory."
"Maybe, we should move around a bit."
There was a fire of ambition burning in the prince's eyes.
Emperor Yan ascended the throne.
The crown prince is hanging in the balance.
They are all possible.
They have been eyeing the help from the Western Factory for a long time.
"Ugh."
"The former leader of the East Factory is a supreme being, while our leader is just an ordinary person. From this point of view, it is better to let the killer tiger take the helm..."
"Be careful!"
"shut up!"
"Do you want to die? Come with me to see him quickly."
The other seven tigers came and some bowed their heads, some kowtowed, some bent their bodies, and some perfunctorily cupped their hands, each with a different mindset.
Xu Han had already paved the way for Su Chen to take charge of the Western Factory.
In a trance.
Su Chen seemed to see that young boy in the library many years ago, who was rarely unrestrained in front of him, with his cheeks bulging with pastries and drinking his Bairu wine.
"Master Su."
"I, Xu Xiaohan, may not dare to promise you the second red robe under the purple robe like your godfather did, but everything I, Xu Xiaohan, have, as long as it is good, belongs to Master Su."
In the past, it was just a joke.
Now.
Became a reality.
But, does Su Chen care about the West Factory, the peak power that Xu Han pursues? He doesn't care at all.
“Is this the path you have paved for me?”
"Xiaohanzi."
The Eight Tigers bowed their heads, and the Western Factory took action. Su Chen had no interest at all. He stared at Ye Xuan's longevity fire, which was like a dying candle, and was silent for a while.
The Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art was like a curse, sending away old friends one after another, Zhang Gui, Xu Han, and now it was Xiao Xuanzi's turn.
a long time.
The remaining seven tigers gradually became impatient.
Staring at Ye Xuan, whose appearance had changed so much that he couldn't even recognize him, he finally spoke.
"I remember."
"The tenth year of Jianwu,"
"You have a lot of grievances in your heart, so you want to travel the world and eliminate all injustice. Can you do it?"
Ye Xuan lowered his head even deeper.
"Seven years have passed."
"It's already the ambition of my youth."
"Master Xu."
"When I was young, I always thought I was the protagonist of this world. But, after one setback after another, I woke up."
"I, Ye Xuan, am different from you, Mr. Xu, and Mr. Zhang. I... am just an ordinary eunuch."
"Being able to be the killer of evil tigers and assist you in managing the Western Factory is what I want in my heart. There is no need to mention the jokes of the past..."
Su Chen was no longer interested.
seven years.
Everything seems to be the same, yet it seems to be completely different.
Xiaoxuanzi no longer talks to him about everything.
Those who have no obsession and anger in their hearts cannot practice the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art.
He is lying!
Su Chen left.
The pharmacy is no more.
The old people have also changed.
He returned to the library.
The library, with red bricks and green tiles, is nine stories high. It was destroyed and rebuilt several times over the nearly twenty years from the Tianwu period of Daliang to the Xuanlong period of Zhou.
But no matter who repaired it, it maintained its original appearance.
"Go home."
Su Chen threw the black jade turtle into the water tank, letting it swim around in it, and released the green bird from the wooden box.
He came to the medicinal field and began to loosen the soil.
Haven't done it for years.
Some hands are raw.
"It seemed very noisy just now. What happened? Where is this place?"
along the way.
Qingque didn't dare to make a sound.
She was afraid that her identity would be exposed and would attract the pursuit of Marquis Jiangling. It was not a big deal for her, but she was afraid that it would implicate Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu is just an ordinary eunuch.
she was.
She's just an ordinary singer.
What can I use to fight against the adopted son of Long Xuanjun, a marquis who holds the power in the Great Zhou?
"Daliang... no, Dazhou Library."
Qingque’s eyes widened.
Unbelievable.
"A library?"
"legend."
"According to the legend, where is the residence of Su Chen, the first eunuch of Daliang and the head of the Three Dukes?"
"How could ordinary people like us end up here? This is a legendary place, the legendary number one residence in Daliang."
Qingque, his voice was trembling.
"I am a eunuch."
"Enter the palace."
"It's normal."
“The library is my home.”
Su Chen said.
"and many more."
"This is the Great Zhou Palace. Will there be trouble?"
"Yes."
"The most dangerous place is actually the safest. As long as I don't reveal my identity, perhaps Marquis Jiangling would never have thought that I would hide here..."
at this time.
Qingque didn't even know that Marquis Jiangling was already dead.
The panic faded away, Qingque became excited, and chattered, pulling Su Chen, wanting to read the classics in the library.
She went by herself.
Medicine field.
Su Chen finally dug out a piece of broken bone.
Black Lotus Saint.
"Let me see what secrets are hidden in that bead that was obtained in the Tianwu Year! It made Hei Yuan persevere in searching for it for twenty years, or even longer..."
At this moment, Su Chen returned to his original appearance, with tree whiskers surging on his body, and the third level of immortality, Soul Fusion and Recollection, was activated.
The thin tree whiskers wrapped the broken bone.
A flood of memories came flooding back.
……
"mother!"
"Don't sell me out!"
On the street, the young man looked at the eerie man in black robe and cried while holding the woman's hand. The woman coldly pried open and broke his fingers.
The boy was desperate.
The pain in the body is not as great as the pain in the heart.
……
"I have taught you the Dharma."
"You can become a mortal martial artist of the first rank."
"go with!"
"Save me!"
On the high platform, he woke up, crawled out from among the corpses of thousands of young men, wore a black lotus robe, and became the Son of God.
One hundred thousand believers were worshipping in the audience.
……
"Three keys."
"The only thing missing is the beam."
"Only success is allowed, failure is not allowed. Save the ancestor, and you and I can all live forever! Get the secret of immortal arts, glimpse the path of the master, and transcend the human world."
dark.
He looked at the many figures with fanatical eyes.
……
boom!
Su Chen was shocked physically and mentally.
The Black Abyss Saint's half-life memories, even if they were only important fragments, were still a little difficult for him to bear.
I was in a trance for a long time.
Su Chen came back to his senses.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"The Dharma is being spread in a dream. Is this another immortal?"
"The orb is the key to the seal."
"There is an immortal in the Black Abyss."
"A sealed immortal..."
