Gu Xu visited Jiaodong Province for a week, from Qingzhou, to Yanzhou, to Laizhou, and then to Dengzhou, inspecting the people's sentiments and checking the layout of the spiritual energy conversion array and derivation array in various places.
The enemies from the Lingxiao Realm have not come to his door as he expected.
However, the sense of crisis brought to him by the authority of "Destiny" has become increasingly intense.
The last stop of the trip to Jiaodong is Yishui County.
Gu Xu stayed for the longest time in the "Longxing Land" in the eyes of the world.
He first came to the exorcism department where he used to practice as an official, and stopped for a long time, quietly staring at the familiar door.
The pair of Suanni stone sculptures still guard both sides of the gate. Although the surface has become mottled after being eroded by wind and rain, their majestic momentum has not diminished at all.
The bluestone steps in front of the door have become as smooth as a mirror under the trampling of countless officials.
Stepping into the gate, the interior layout is simple and quiet. Ancient cypress trees stood on both sides, and under the light of the lanterns, their branches and leaves intertwined into dense shadows.
From time to time there are government officials walking under the shade of the trees holding case files in their hands.
Directly opposite is the solemn main hall of the Exorcist Department.
In the past, in those deep and quiet nights, Chen Jisheng could often be seen burying his head in the papers and working tirelessly.
Today, the appearance of the government office remains unchanged, but the familiar faces of the past are no longer visible.
In their place were a group of young monks that Gu Xu had never met, but who were full of vitality.
They were either chatting and laughing, walking out of the door to perform daily patrols and ghost-killing tasks, or they were sitting cross-legged in the back room, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, closing their eyes and concentrating on practicing.
"Your Majesty," Ma Qin, the current governor of the Exorcist Department of Yishui County, stood next to Gu Xu, who was in plain clothes, and reported the report respectfully, "Since we have set up a spiritual energy transformation array in the Yamen in accordance with your request, Since then, the monks have made rapid progress in their cultivation. In the past month, three people have broken through from the first level to the second level..."
Looking at the handsome young king in green clothes in front of him, Ma Qin. My thoughts will always drift back to three years ago unconsciously, when they participated in the promotion assessment together, and the scene of slaying demons side by side in Wen Guhu's illusion is still vivid in my mind.
At that time, Ma Qin was amazed by Gu Xu's astonishing talent for cultivation and profound knowledge. He secretly thought that this young man would surely rise rapidly in his official career in the future, and perhaps even get Luo Luo. He was favored by the big shots in Beijing and became one of the future senior leaders of the Daqi Exorcism Department.
However, what Ma Qin did not expect was that Gu Xu overturned the sky in one fell swoop, replaced Emperor Tianxing, and ascended the throne of the Supreme.
After Ma Qin finished speaking, Gu Xu’s eyes showed a trace of appreciation and affirmation, and he said lightly: "Governor Ma, are you willing to go to Qingzhou Prefecture for development in the future?"
"Your Majesty ..." Ma Qin was slightly surprised and a little stunned for a moment.
"You are hereYishui County's political achievements are outstanding, and both the people and monks praise you highly. It might be a waste for a talent like you to govern a county. I intend to promote you to Qingzhou Prefecture and assume the position of a member of the Sixth Rank and Hundred Households. "Speaking of this, Gu Xu smiled slightly and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, "What do you think, Lord Ma of Qingzhou? "
Hearing the words "Master Ma of Qingzhou", Ma Qin immediately lowered his head and sighed secretly in his heart. Even though His Majesty ascended the throne and became emperor, his temperament has not changed at all. He is still the less serious person from before - —No, it should be said that he was humorous and easy-going, and even joked about it.
He folded his fists, bowed and said, "Ma Qin dare not live up to your majesty's kindness. Weichen is willing to accept this appointment and do his best to perform his duties in Qingzhou Mansion, and must live up to His Majesty's expectations. ”
While speaking, he couldn’t help but think to himself: Your Majesty is really obedient to his words! Three years ago, he casually said, “I would like to ask Mr. Ma from Qingzhou to show his magical powers.” As a result, Three years later, he actually became "Master Ma of Qingzhou"
Ma Qin was still planning to show off in front of his old friends in Qingzhou Mansion after putting on his new official robe. Ichiban.
Those people once said that with his cultivation talent and family background, he would end up being an eighth- or ninth-grade sesame official in his life.
Who would have thought that after the change of dynasty, as long as he did his job steadily and conscientiously, an ordinary person like him would have the opportunity to be promoted step by step.
It seems that His Majesty has not only changed the name of the country in the wild world, but also completely changed it. Subverting the original order of this world
…………
Gu Xu did not stay in the Yamen for a long time. In a flash, he tore apart the space and came to the place where he once lived. In front of the door of No. 17, Ping'an Lane.
He used the magic of cause and effect to hide his figure. Even though people were coming and going, they regarded him as nothing, just like a ball of air.
This simple and small house, as the former residence of the current monarch, has long been surrounded by a fence by the government.
Nowadays, many people in Yishui, and even foreign travelers, regard it as a holy place.
They stood outside the fence, clasped their hands, closed their eyes and prayed, murmuring something.
Gu Xu could hear clearly that some were praying for good weather and a good harvest; some were praying for his protection. Successfully pass next year's Childbirth Examination or the Exorcist Department's promotion assessment; some people pray for success in breaking through, and some are even seeking marriage...
"They really regard me as an omnipotent existence," Gu Xu smiled helplessly , sighing in his heart, "If I were really such a god, doing the work of the God of Grains, Lord Wenchang, and Lord Yue at the same time, I would probably be exhausted long ago. ”
He paused for a moment, then stepped forward, as if turning into a disembodied shadow, easily passed through the fence in front of him, passed through the formation he had set up with his own hands, and returned to himself. In the house where I once lived and practiced.
The furnishings in the house are as simple as before.
The old wooden desks and the old wooden chairs with mottled paint.The plain bamboo mat... nothing seems to have changed.
Only on the familiar old screen, the little book boy painted in the past has disappeared.
Gu Xu smiled slightly.
This little book boy was drawn by his own hands. How could he not know where he went?
A voice came from behind the screen: "Young lady, please have some tea!"
Gu Xu walked straight over and saw a beautiful woman in a red dress. Lying lazily on his side on the couch where he used to sleep.
Huarong and graceful, jade body meandering.
The lips are not ointment but are elixir; the temples are not smoke but are darkened.
Her dress was casually and loosely worn, slightly revealing her snow-white neck and shoulders. Her skin was as tender and moist as a freshly peeled lychee.
The little book boy stood by the couch with his head bowed respectfully, and was about to hand the teacup in his hand to the woman lying on the couch.
"Get out!" Gu Xu looked at the little book boy, snatched the tea cup from his hand, and ordered unceremoniously, "Has the outside been cleaned?"
"Hug...hug, sorry young master!"
The little book boy bowed to him and walked dejectedly outside the screen, his expression seemed a little aggrieved. He picked up the broom in the corner and began to clean the house seriously.
When the woman on the couch saw this scene, she chuckled and couldn't help but joke: "Your Majesty is so jealous!"
Gu Xu sat down next to her with a teacup in his hand, She smiled and said, "No one is allowed to look at Yan'er's beautiful appearance today except me."
Zhao Yan knew in her heart that he was angry at a painting that "emphasizes the eye and soul", which was obviously a deliberate act. Came out to make her happy.
But even though she knew it was a joke, she still felt particularly happy when she saw him declaring his sovereignty with a jealous look on his face.
She sat upright on the couch, put her arms around Gu Xu's waist, and rested her chin on his shoulder.
"Gu Lang, have you lived here in the past years?"
"Yes."
"This bed is hard, you Are you used to sleeping?"
"I spend most of my nights practicing, sleeping very little, and I don't care whether the bed is soft or hard."
Zhao Yan. A flash of distress flashed across his eyes, and his hands involuntarily hugged him tighter, and said softly: "You really suffered a lot in the past!"
"To be honest, I didn't feel that I was there at the time. "It's hard work," Gu Xu said calmly, "After all, compared to those poor people who are hungry and homeless, I am very lucky to have a courtyard house left by my parents and still live well."
