Immortality begins with slaying demons, Chapter 63 Returning to Yishui
After the "Qiankun" magical power is strengthened, it can teleport nearly 500 miles at a time, consuming the true energy The volume has also been reduced a lot.
In addition, Gu Xu accumulated a large amount of surplus real energy in Jicheng Fire Temple.
So when he returned to the land from the end of the East China Sea this time, he did not take a boat as when he came, but directly used the "astrolabe" many times to build a space passage.
In just two days, he arrived at Dengzhou Port in Jiaodong Province.
In fact, he originally planned to land at Jingu, a port in Dayan, for safety reasons.
But to go to Kunlun, we are destined to cross the hinterland of Daqi.
Recently, the Yan-Qi border has been heavily guarded and guarded extremely strictly. It is not easy to enter Qi from Yan.
So Gu Xu simply entered the Daqi border quietly from the sea.
However, just as he was wearing a mask and hiding among the dense crowd at Dengzhou Port, he suddenly heard some unexpected news from the conversations of passers-by
" I heard something happened over there in Qingzhou Prefecture."
"Isn't Qingzhou Prefecture the hometown of the rebel Gu Xu?"
"Yes, the imperial court has been in Yishui in the past few days. The county has captured a group of Gu Xu's accomplices and wants to execute them."
"Who are Gu Xu's accomplices? Are they the people sent by the queen in the north to pick him up?"
"No. They were Gu Xu's superiors and colleagues when he was an official in Yishui Yamen. After Gu Xu was wanted, they continued to give him information and material assistance to help him avoid the court. "Oh, no wonder the court has spent so much effort but failed to catch this traitor. It turns out there is a spy hidden in the court."
""
Hearing the conversation of these people, Gu Xu frowned more and more.
He took a few steps forward, grabbed the sleeve of one of the short, fat middle-aged men, and asked him, "Tell me the details of this matter. Who has been arrested by the court and when?" Execute them."
The short, fat middle-aged man was stunned for a second and said, "It must have been in the past few days. I don't know for sure. I heard it from hearsay."
His words. Before it fell, Gu Xu turned into a black lightning and disappeared from the place.
The short, fat middle-aged man suddenly widened his eyes.
Tearing apart space and moving instantly are abilities only possessed by strong saints.
Even if he is not a saint, he must be of extraordinary status to be able to afford this precious magic weapon with the ability to travel through space.
Maybe the person who just spoke to me is a big shot who works secretly
The short, fat middle-aged man was surprised and happy.
He wants to show off to those guys when he drinks with friends in the future. I was once pulled by the sleeve by a big man who could travel through space, and we talked and laughed intimately.
However, when he tried to recall Gu Xu’s appearanceAt that time, I found that even though I was racking my brains, I couldn't remember what the other person looked like.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Xu had used the "astrolabe" to reach Yishui County where he once lived.
Due to the existence of extraordinary power, the disaster caused by the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" a few months ago did not leave many traces here.
Except for a few more tombstones on the outskirts of the city, everything is as it was in memory.
The Yi River is wide and shaded by weeping willows.
The smoke from the chimneys rose slowly and dissipated in the clear blue sky.
But Gu Xu knew that for him, Yishui was still his first home in this world; but for Yishui, he had become its enemy.
Therefore, he did not spend too much time reminiscing about the past. Instead, he walked along the old bluestone road, used the "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique, and headed straight towards the Exorcism Department Yamen. go.
He wanted to confirm the authenticity of the conversations of passers-by at Dengzhou Port as soon as possible.
He walked through several alleys and came to the wide Zhengqi Street. The solemn and solemn gate of the Exorcist Department stood in front of him, still looking familiar to him.
Just outside its door, there were a few more silver-armored guards holding weapons.
There was a chill in their eyes, giving people a daunting feeling.
However, these silver-armored guards could only stop ordinary people, but not Gu Xu.
He found a hidden place, used "Qiankun", and directly tore apart the space and entered the Yamen.
He enveloped the entire courtyard with his powerful spiritual consciousness, but could not find the familiar figures Chen Jisheng, Wang Yang, Cui Tianyou and others. They were all no longer here.
Gu Xu’s eyes became more solemn.
He blocked a passing busboy and asked, "Do you know where Master Chen has gone?"
The busboy was startled by the sudden appearance of Gu Xu.
The strong coercion emanating from Gu Xu made him feel a sense of awe.
"Are you talking about Mr. Chen Jisheng?" The servant bowed and replied tremblingly, "He was sent to Qingzhou Mansion together with other practitioners from the Yamen."
p>
"Qingzhou Prefecture" Gu Xu raised his voice slightly, startling the handyman, "Why were they sent to Qingzhou Prefecture?"
"Because they belong to the traitor Gu Xu accomplices, the court will punish them with death."
"When?"
"Probably in three days."
Gu Xu took out the copper coins and used them. Divination confirmed that the servant's statement was true.
Then, just like when he came, he quietly evacuated the Yamen with the power of "Qiankun".
He knew very well that during his escape, he had been trying his best to avoid familiar people and avoid getting involved with them. The charges that the Daqi court imputed to Chen Jisheng and others were undoubtedly fabricated.
It’s just the Qi courtWhy do they do this?
Also, why do they take the "criminal" to Qingzhou Prefecture to be executed instead of executing him on the spot in Yishui?
"Could it be that the imperial court wanted to They used it as bait to lure me out," Gu Xu guessed with a gloomy expression.
If he guessed correctly, the Daqi court must have prepared a dragnet in advance and waited for him to enter the urn in Qingzhou Mansion.
But he had no choice.
Chen Jisheng was very kind to him, and Wang Yang and others were also the first companions he met after coming to this world.
Even if he knew it was a trap, Gu Xu would risk his life to save this group of people as long as there was a one in ten thousand chance of being killed.
"Anyway, I am already a traitor now," he chuckled, and said to himself secretly, "It is natural for me to rob a court.
"My current ability is better than When he got up in Jingxing, he became much stronger. And Zhu Qiuyi, who restrained me the most, has been destroyed by Zhao Changying.
"As long as I don't encounter a strong saint, I should be able to take them to escape smoothly.
"Besides, Luo Sishou should have been paying attention to my whereabouts. He can't Watch me die. "
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated.
He controlled the "astrolabe", soared into the sky, turned into a blue lightning, and rushed towards the direction of Qingzhou Mansion. Fly away. ,,
