Chapter 1234

Fang Wen had died in a way that Gu Chen couldn't have imagined.

After the Copper Coin of Destiny displayed its power, it floated silently in mid-air.

Gu Chen's expression flickered as he stared at Fang Wen's corpse in silence for a long time!

Gu Chen wasn't sure what dao technique Fang Wen had used when he was at his wit's end, but it was definitely enough to pose a fatal threat to him.

However, his desperate attack had been easily disintegrated by the Copper Coin of Destiny. The shock Gu Chen had received could not be said to be small!

"It's you? Why did you help him? "

Fang Wen's final words before his death were still ringing in his ears, causing Gu Chen's heart to flutter.

Who was Fang Wen talking about?

Did he recognize the origin of the Copper Coin of Destiny?

Gu Chen had accidentally obtained the Copper Coin of Destiny from the Puji Enlightened on Douluo Planet. It was said that this coin had the ability to chase after good fortune and avoid calamity.

Gu Chen didn't want this coin at first, but after that incident, it was like maggots attached to his bones. He couldn't get rid of it no matter what he did.

Many things had happened recently, and Gu Chen had almost forgotten about the existence of the Copper Coin of Destiny. He didn't expect it to save him at a crucial moment.

From the situation just now, it seemed like the Puji Enlightened was right. This coin really had the ability to chase after good fortune and avoid calamity.

However, Gu Chen didn't believe that there would be a free lunch in the sky. Combined with Fang Wen's words before his death, and recalling that the Celestial Emperor had said that he had karma with Fang Wen in the Immortal Realm, Gu Chen's heart was in turmoil.

Could this Copper Coin of Destiny be the source of karma?

Gu Chen walked towards Fang Wen's corpse. After the Copper Coin of Destiny had displayed its power, it turned back into a streak of light and returned to Gu Chen's arms.

Gu Chen quickly examined Fang Wen's corpse and discovered that his death was very strange. The external injuries that he had inflicted on Fang Wen weren't the main cause of death. Fang Wen's death seemed to have come to an end, and he died naturally.

This seemed to be the will of the heavens. The will of the heavens told him to die, so he died!

Gu Chen secretly rejoiced. He had a feeling that if it wasn't for the Copper Coin of Destiny, Fang Wen might not have been the one dead.

His divine sense probed into Fang Wen's mind, wanting to see if there were any remnant souls left.

He had just died, so perhaps his soul had not completely dissipated. Obtaining a wisp of his soul would allow one to obtain a large amount of memories.

With that, Gu Chen's breathing quickened, and his face revealed an expression as if he had seen a ghost!

In Fang Wen's mind, he did not see any remnant spirit, but a wooden puppet!

This puppet had a big head and a small body. Black ropes were tied around its body and it had a strange smile on its face. It floated quietly in the middle of Fang Wen's consciousness.

There was a rune between its eyebrows that was similar to a snowflake, and in the center of the rune was a hole!

"How could this be?"

Gu Chen was slightly dazed. This wasn't the first time he had seen such a wooden puppet. Back then, he and Tang Ning had used Yuwen Bo to lure Fang Wen out, but Yuwen Bo had died mysteriously under the curse of this wooden puppet!

Gu Chen's expression turned ugly. He raised his hand and extracted the wooden puppet from Fang Wen's mind, turning it over to examine the back of its head.

Fang Wen's wooden puppet was different from Yuwen Bo's. The date of its host's death wasn't written on the wooden puppet!

Gu Chen's expression became even more perplexed. He only felt that there was a huge conspiracy hidden in this.

"Who placed such a wooden puppet in Fang Wen's mind? Does Fang Wen know? "

Gu Chen couldn't understand no matter how he thought about it. However, Fang Wen's soul had already been completely destroyed, and he was unable to search his soul to obtain any useful information.

This strange wooden puppet, the person Fang Wen had mentioned before his death, and everything he knew about the Copper Coin of Destiny had all become mysteries that no one could solve!

Gu Chen took a long time to suppress the shock in his heart. Now wasn't the time to think about this problem. There were more pressing matters to attend to.

He searched Fang Wen's body again, taking away his storage ring and the Trinity Sword. He hoped that he could find some clues to the riddle from his belongings.

Just as he finished doing all this, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, and a strong tinnitus appeared in his ears!

"Haha, jie …"

An unforgettable laughter rang out in his mind. It was like demonic music, causing Gu Chen to turn around and look at the back mountain of the Great Thunderclap Monastery!

Rumble!

At this moment, a huge skull slowly appeared in the sky above the back mountain. It was almost a third of the size of the Great Thunderclap Monastery!

The skull was originally a sinister and ghostly object. However, the strange thing was that it was currently glowing with Buddhist light, as if it was a Buddhist treasure!

"What's going on?"

Gu Chen clutched his head. He had a headache for no reason, and the voice of the Man with a Bamboo Hat kept ringing out in his mind.

"What the hell is that?"

During Gu Chen's previous battle, the Dragon Horse had run to the side to clean up the enemies. Now that Gu Chen had finished his battle, it had run over again.

Seeing such a huge and strange skull appear in the back mountain of Mount Meru, it was given a huge fright.

"Dragon Horse, did you hear that?"

Gu Chen had a pained expression on his face as he tried his best to maintain his calm.

"Hear what?" The Dragon Horse was confused.

"As expected …"

Gu Chen's heart sank. Only he could hear the laughter of the Man with a Bamboo Hat ringing out in his mind!

This caused him to recall the matters regarding the Man with a Bamboo Hat that he had been dreaming about for the past few years. He recalled everything he had seen and heard after arriving in the Western Heaven Starfield.

"You've schemed so hard to set up such a huge trap. As expected, it's all for me …"

Gu Chen muttered to himself. His eyes became resolute. Ignoring the pain in his mind, he slowly walked towards the back mountain of the Great Thunderclap Monastery!

He did not know what the Man with a Bamboo Hat was up to, but he already knew that everything was for him.

If not for that, Yuan Buhuo and Qiong Qi would not have found out that the Pure Spirit Kingdom was about to attack the Great Thunderclap Monastery, but they would not have found out about the matter regarding the Heterodox Demon Statue.

Everything was within the Man with a Bamboo Hat's calculations. He had purposely leaked the information to let Yuan Buhuo and Qiong Qi know so that he could lure him to the Western Heaven Starfield.

He had teamed up with the Demon Monk of Joy and Fang Wen to restrain him so that he could carry out his secret plot!

His plan had succeeded. Gu Chen had been stalled by Fang Wen, which allowed him to create this masterpiece in front of him!

Gu Chen knew that the Man with a Bamboo Hat's plan had been set up and was waiting for him. However, he was not afraid at all.

He was no longer the Gu Chen of the past. He already had the qualifications to be on equal footing with the Man with a Bamboo Hat!

Gu Chen walked towards the back mountain step by step. His footsteps seemed slow but were actually fast. His eyes were burning with a fierce fighting spirit.

"Gu Chen, boy."

The Dragon Horse followed behind him. It could sense that Gu Chen's expression was not right.

"Go and help the Island Master and Friend Hai."

Gu Chen said calmly. He wanted to solve the problem of the Man with a Bamboo Hat alone.

The Dragon Horse nodded. It knew that the Great Thunderclap Monastery was still in danger and its companions were in urgent need of help.

It raised its four hooves and left quickly. It believed that Gu Chen would be able to deal with the enemy.
