Gu Xu never expected that two lofty saints would argue in front of him over such a trivial matter as tea and wine.
No one wants to be at a disadvantage.
Gu Xu sat aside and listened silently.
After a while, he found an opportunity and said apologetically to Zhao Changying, Duke of Yan: "I'm sorry, Duke of Yan, I haven't been in good health since I was a child and can't drink strong liquor..."< /p>
The Duke of Yan looked at him from head to toe, then laughed and said: "Hey, indeed. You are quite handsome, but you are really too thin. Remember to eat more when you go back. Meat. Young people like you will have to marry and take concubines and carry on the family line in the future, so you need to be stronger."
At this point, he paused for two seconds and then continued: "It just so happened that recently. Someone gave me some Huangjing, but I don’t need it. I’ll ask someone to send it to your residence later to help you replenish your body.”
Gu Xu wanted to be polite, but when he saw Yan Guogong Zhao. Changying had a domineering look that could not be refused, so he had to nod his head and said: "Thank you so much, Lord Duke!"
Zhao Changying smiled and nodded, satisfied with his attitude.
At the same time, Luo Chuan cleared his throat and brought the topic back on track: "Old Zhao, how was your battle in Qingzhou Mansion a few days ago?"
Zhao Changying glanced He glanced at Gu Xu and didn't speak immediately.
"Gu Xu is also a witness to this incident. We don't have to hide it from him." Luo Chuan smiled faintly.
Zhao Changying shook his head and sighed: "The 'Third Fierce God'...or the old Kongxuan Sanren, who is not good at anything else, but his escape skills are the best in the world. I searched all over the world No trace of him was found in Qingzhou Mansion, as if he had evaporated from the world.
“But as a contemporary saint of Da Qi, it would be too shameful if I returned without success.
"So I went to Yishan again and had a fight with the snow girl. I have to say, the snow girl was really beautiful - rather than saying she was a female ghost, she was better to say she was a fairy who descended to earth. . Seeing her face, I was a little reluctant to do anything to her.
"In the end, we both lost. She returned to the ice cave, set up a barrier, and entered a dormant state. One-third of the meridians in my body were also frozen by her ice and snow spells, making it difficult for me to function normally.
"After that, I originally planned to go back to Youzhou to recuperate, but then I thought that the Luoshui Conference was about to be held, so I decided to come to the capital."
Hearing his words, Luochuan Frowning slightly: "The snow girl is so strong? Can she even tie you? In my impression, she barely had the strength of a saint about two months ago."
"It's not that she is too Strong, you overestimated my strength." Yan Guogong Zhao Changying laughed at himself and drank the wine in the bowl again, "To tell you the truth, when I advanced to the seventh realm, my cultivation I have never made a breakthrough. Among the five saints in Daqi, I don’t know who is the strongest, but I must be the weakest.”
“Lao Zhao, you are too humble. "
"This is a fact," Zhao Changying wiped his beard stained with wine with his hand, "By the way, Luochuan, do you want to take this opportunity to solve the problem of Snow Girl once and for all? She is now in a weak stage, which is the best time to deal with her.
“I don’t understand the formation and can’t break her barrier, but I believe that your exorcism department must have talents who can break the formation. Completely annihilating a fierce god-level ghost is a great achievement. "Yeah!"
Gu Xu sat up straight and listened intently.
Luo Chuan's eyes suddenly became extremely deep, as if he saw the distant future through the endless river of time.
He pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "No need for the time being. A ghost like the Snow Girl who can save people in disasters is rare in a hundred years. It would be a pity to kill her. It would be better to keep her for a while. , maybe it will come in handy after the long night falls."
Yan Guogong smiled and said: "Then it's up to you to kill ghosts. If something goes wrong, it's your job. It’s not my turn to be responsible for the problem.”
Then he poured himself another bowl of wine and continued: “Luochuan, you have always claimed to have insight into everything in the world. Recently, some strange things have appeared in the Daqi Dynasty. Weird prophecies, such as "There is an emperor's spirit in the Northeast", such as "The barbarians gather in Long Dou Ye, and when the sun rises, fire will dominate", such as "The palace will be burned with fire, and wolves will howl on the border; after all the four and seven are counted, the sun and the moon will be gone". Guang'... Do you know who did it? I suspect someone wants to harm me." "Prophecy" means "prophecy" and "omen".
Prophecy refers to the cryptic words made by prophecy and will be fulfilled in the future.
In the history of Gu Xu's previous life, prophecies were often used in political struggles, such as the famous "Great Chu rises, King Chen Sheng", such as "Proclaim Anhan Gongmang to be the emperor", such as "Liu Xiu sent troops to arrest people, but he used gold and virtue to become the emperor." For example, "Mo Dao, a stone man with one eye, instigated rebellion across the Yellow River"... They are all powerful weapons used by rulers or those seeking power to create public opinion and win people's hearts. .
However, the Great Wilderness is a world where practitioners and mysterious spells exist.
This undoubtedly means that the prophecies in this world may be made up, or they may be true.
Gu Xu knew that Youzhou was located northeast of Luojing City.
As the oldest clan, the Youzhou Zhao family has a longer history than the Daqi Dynasty.
When the human race first created the method of cultivation, the Zhao family already existed in the wilderness. They first believed in a god called "Fire God", and later changed to believe in God.
The two prophecies spoken by Zhao Changying, Duke of Yan State, are that "there is emperor energy in the northeast" and "fire is the main force when the sun rises", which are almost completely consistent with the situation of the Zhao family in Youzhou.
In addition, "four-seven" means "twenty-eight".
Emperor Tianxing was the twenty-eighth emperor of the Daqi Dynasty.
"When the four or seven are exhausted, the sun and the moon have no light", which means that the Daqi Dynasty will be in power when Emperor Tianxing is in power.perished during the period.
Coupled with the fact that the Lu family in Qingzhou was executed by nine clans more than ten years ago, Zhao Changying knew that Emperor Tianxing, who had lived in the palace for a long time, was by no means a vegetarian - he was fierce and merciless towards those who conspired against him. .
No wonder he felt flustered and felt that someone was trying to frame him.
“These prophecies are now widely circulated among the people, and I can’t figure out their source for a while,” Luo Chuan shook his head and replied, “But as we all know, the current emperor has a sharp eye, He knows how to distinguish between loyal and traitorous people. As long as you really have no different intentions, he will not be able to blame you for these absurd rumors."
"I hope so," Zhao Changying sighed and grunted again. He poured a large bowl of strong wine into his stomach, "Luochuan, you should know very well how someone like me, whose cultivation has been stagnant for nearly twenty years, can be so courageous..."
Luochuan smiled but said nothing.
In the next period of time, the two saints drank from a large bowl and sipped tea, but neither spoke again.
About a quarter of an hour later, Yan Guogong Zhao Changying stretched himself, stood up and said goodbye, and then disappeared.
Only Luo Chuan and Gu Xu were left on the observatory.
At this time, Luochuan took out a piece of exquisitely crafted paper from his arms and handed it to Gu Xu with both hands.
"Gu Xiaoyou, this is your appointment letter."
