In That Distant Little Dark Room

Ch. 25 - Taking care of the family

Ch. 25 - A dream

Gu Chenshan and Gu Chenjiang, the two people named Gu, have a life experience that few people know about.

Both of them are the sons of the late queen, who died that night after giving birth to twins, a boy and a girl. But Gu Chenjiang and Gu Chenshan were sent out of the palace. The emperor announced that the queen died in childbirth and the fetus was not saved. He then launched an attack on neighboring countries and annexed many cities.

The death of the queen was indeed caused by neighboring countries, but the current emperor's ruthlessness was the main culprit in what happened to Gu Chenjiang and Gu Chenshan. In front of outsiders, he and the queen showed a deep love as husband and wife, but the blood of power flowed in their bones. At a critical moment, he would even kill his wife. If the Queen Mother had not stopped him, he would not even have spared the newborn twins.

After Gu Chenjiang and Gu Chenshan were sent out of the palace, they wandered in the rivers and lakes for more than twenty years. They knew their own life experiences since they were young, and they even secretly hated their father who abandoned them.

The queen, whose surname was also Gu, was the emperor's cousin. Her father was an extremely important powerful official in Zhao State. After the queen's death, this powerful official was also overthrown by the emperor, but before his death, he handed over a pair of jade pendants. Placed in the swaddling clothes of Gu Chenjiang and Gu Chenshan.

He also asked the descendants and the brother and sister to pass a message, saying that if they were forced to have no other choice, they would take these two jade pendants and go to Yuxu Mountain to find an ancient temple. These two jade pendants would be the key to opening the ancient temple.

The old man also said that he was kind to a god back then. Before he left, the god told him to give him something. This thing can only be obtained by people with the Gu family lineage, and it can help them get out of trouble.

At that time, no one believed what the old man said. They all thought it was Mr. Gu's grief reaction after losing his beloved daughter. However, when they grew up, Gu Chenjiang and Gu Chenshan believed the story. Not only did they believe it, they also planned to go there. Find the legendary treasure in Yuxu Mountain.

A ridiculous story, a vague clue, and two ordinary jade pendants. No matter who told it, no one would take it seriously. But the Gu brothers and sisters took it seriously. Of course, they were not the only ones who took it seriously. Including Zhang Jingmo who came here for this reason.

No one knows better than Zhang Jingmo what is stored in the ancient temple in Yuxu Mountain, and no one knows better than him how to obtain the treasures in the ancient temple.

Back then, Gu Chenshan and Gu Chenjiang were hunted down by cultivators because of this treasure. They hid for several years but were still found. They were mortals, and they were guilty of possessing the treasure, and their final end was extremely miserable.

One of Zhang Jingmo's Taoist friends was involved in it. When he told Zhang Jingmo about it as a joke to Lingxu Sect, Zhang Jingmo silently remembered it in his heart.

In the next few lives, he began to try to obtain treasures. After several attempts, he already knew which method to use to obtain treasures in the simplest way.

Robbery is the worst method, because Zhang Jingmo tried it the first time. When he took the jade pendant to Yuxu Mountain and searched all over the small mountain, he couldn't find the one that should be eye-catching. of ancient temples. Later, Zhang Jingmo realized that if he wanted to find this ancient temple, he probably had to take care of his family.
