Chapter 86: The Deadline
Since that day, His Holiness still often invited Ye Xiaotian to chat, and there was no taboo that he might report to Yang Yinglong. While chatting, His Holiness secretly beat Yang Yinglong from time to time, hoping that he would retreat and settle down.
Yang Yinglong was the same, knowing that the Venerable could know his attitude through Ye Xiaotian, but in front of Ye Xiaotian, he expressed his wish very bluntly, and expressed his determination not to give up until the goal was achieved through Ye Xiaotian's mouth.
Although the contradiction between Venerable and Yang Yinglong is sinister, it is actually just an internal contradiction, similar to the old emperor who is about to die and needs to inherit his throne, and all the sons are using their own different means in the hope of getting the old emperor's approval.
Yang Yinglong's faction is similar to a prince who is qualified to inherit the Great Treasure, he has great power in his hands, so he shows his power through guΓ², wanting to force the old emperor to face the reality and choose him for the sake of the eternal inheritance of the country.
This relationship is certainly hostile from a certain point of view, but there are common interests between the two: they both hope that the sect's forces will grow stronger, which is much more complicated than the relationship between friends and enemies, and it is not a simple fight to the death, if Yang Yinglong's faction can completely control the situation, His Holiness will inevitably change his mind, unless he wants to pass on a divided country to the next generation.
Ye Xiaotian is like a mouse caught in the bellows, but he himself is willing, running around in the bellows is very lively, every time he comes and goes, he only needs to inform the two parties of what the other party has said, and this "inner room" has become an open "messenger".
After many times of coming and going, Ye Xiaotian became familiar with this old venerable, and he was almost a year-old friend. On this day, when he was chatting with His Holiness in the roof garden again, Ye Xiaotian had the courage to ask about the origin of the Gu God Sect. This sect has been in existence for more than 1,000 years. But it has a lot to do with foreign devils, and this matter has always made Ye Xiaotian very curious.
His Holiness laughed and said, "I thought you didn't care about this. β
His Holiness was silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "This is a secret matter of this sect. It has always been known only to successive Venerable Beings. β
Ye Xiaotian knew very well that the more secrets he shouldn't know, the more dangerous he knew, the matter of the Gu God Sect had nothing to do with him, it was not worth giving his life for curiosity, Ye Xiaotian hurriedly stopped: "Since it is the secret of your sect, then I won't listen to it." β
Venerable said, "It's okay, after all, it's an old thing from fifteen hundred years ago. Again. In your identity, who would believe you, even if you say it? If one is not good, it will also bring you the scourge of killing, you are a smart person, I believe you will listen to it. Rotten in the stomach. β
Ye Xiaotian could only smile bitterly when he heard it. The Venerable was silent for a moment and said slowly: "The Miao people have raised Gu since ancient times, but there was no Gu God Sect before, and there was no Gu God Sect. β
Ye Xiaotian said in his heart: "All gods, of course, have been shaped into gods little by little by future generations. For example, Lao Dan, Guan Erye, Zhong Kui and ......, aren't they all living people who have been praised as gods? β
His Holiness said, "Fifteen hundred years ago. According to the time of your Han people, it was the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, there was a powerful empire in the West, called Great Qin, and their supreme ruler was called Archon, and that consul was called Crassus, who led a large army to invade another huge empire, the rest of the country, but was surrounded and annihilated by the rest army, and the whole army was annihilated, and he himself lost his life in this battle.
However, his first legion, led by his eldest son Publius, fought their way out of the siege. They fled to the city of Zhizhi in the east, where they had hoped to settle down. But I didn't want to have a powerful empire in the east, which was the Great Han State at that time.
At that time, there was a famous general in the Great Han Kingdom who was serving as a deputy lieutenant in the Western Regions, this person was named Chen Tang, and he led the army to crusade against the remnants of the Great Qin. Defeated Publius' tortoiseshell chain shield and captured all of the army. However, Publius escaped again under the cover of his personal guards.
Purbrius disguised himself as a merchant and fled all the way to this place, where he came to the place of the Miao people. He saw the magic of Gu art here, and became a disciple under a great wizard who was proficient in Gu art. Thirty-six years later, he founded the Gu God Sect and became the first Gu God Attendant......"
Ye Xiaotian suddenly realized, no wonder he appeared here in many places similar to the foreign devil sect, it turned out that there was a Westerner who came to Middle-earth more than a thousand years ago to learn the Gu art that the local mountain Miao was proficient in, and founded the Gu God Sect based on Gu art, and the temple designed and built by him certainly has many Western styles.
His Holiness sighed lightly and said, "The first Venerable is a Westerner, just like the Buddha of the Buddhist family. But he spent most of his life here, and by the time he was in his old age, he had completely regarded himself as a Miao person, and the Gu God Sect that he had created had also been passed back to the Miao people, and I was already the forty-seventh generation Venerable......"
Venerable said: "I am a Miao person, and I am also a person who grew up in the temple, I hope that the Gu God Sect can be passed on forever and protect us Miao for the rest of our lives, but this Venerable, I really don't want to do it, Yang Yinglong, Gegwo, and many others, why are they so keen on this position?" β
His Holiness narrowed his eyes slightly, the wrinkles on his old face became thicker because of this, and he looked ahead, where the gardener named Ah Bao was busy in the flower bed in front of him, tending to a large field of strange flowers that could emit a rich fragrance.
Venerable raised his chin to Ah Bao and said to Ye Xiaotian, "Look at him, isn't it very good?" There is no quarrel with the world, and you can enjoy yourself. What I remember the most is when I was a servant in the temple, His Holiness would smile at me, the beautiful girl would say a word to me, and I would be very happy when I had a bite of meat for lunch. Now I'm very unhappy......"
Ye Xiaotian followed his gaze to Ah Bao, Ah Bao was wearing coarse cloth clothes, working hard to tending to the flowers and plants, sweat was pouring out of his forehead, and his face was flushed with a healthy flush, but was that kind of pastoral life really happy?
The Venerable who has gone through the world may have turned back to his roots, but as a young man, Ye Xiaotian did not dare to agree with the Venerable Spirit's aspirations. He was also willing to be a little house sparrow in Sijiu City, because he didn't have the opportunity to go high, and the opportunity was too disproportionate to the risk.
If the certainty of success was only a little bit bigger, would he not be moved? Will he be willing to live an idyllic life without quarrels and worries? Perhaps this is the difference between young and old.
Ye Xiaotian sighed secretly and comforted the Venerable: "Being in a high position may have a lot of troubles. But after all, I have also enjoyed many benefits that ordinary people can't enjoy. When I was a child, my father and mother took me to walk around with relatives in the suburbs of Beijing, and I liked their lives very much, but I only liked them when I was a guest. β
His Holiness was still smiling. didn't speak, Ye Xiaotian said again: "Maybe it's because the younger generation is too young, and he doesn't have the insight that you have traveled the world and gone through the world, so the idea is a little naΓ―ve......"
His Holiness smiled, still not speaking. Ye Xiaotian was a little strange, he looked at the Venerable, tentatively stretched out his hand, touched him lightly, and the Venerable smiled and tilted to the side, falling on the bench. Ye Xiaotian's mouth opened wide in surprise. After a long time to wake up, a frightened shout was heard from the temple garden: "Come on......

Ah Bao rushed over, and when he saw the Venerable's appearance, he didn't dare to move, and he was at a loss for a while, so he said to Ye Xiaotian: "You take care of the Venerable first, and I'll go find someone to help." β
Ye Xiaotian nodded yes. Ah Bao rushed away, Ye Xiaotian tried the Venerable's breath, and felt that although his breath was weak, he still had qi, and he was a little relieved. He just wanted to withdraw his hand, but the Venerable suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed his wrist, startling Ye Xiaotian.
His Holiness gasped and said, "The limit has arrived, the limit has arrived, hehe." I didn't think that my deadline should be today, I thought that I could last at least another month, and people are not as good as heaven after all. β
Ye Xiaotian was shocked: "Venerable, you mean...... You mean......"
His Holiness said lightly, "What's so bad about this? Yes, I'm going to die. β
Ye Xiaotian didn't know how to comfort him for a while. His Holiness said that his face changed, and he said, "I only have a premonition that the time limit is coming, but I don't know that it will be today, and the Ge Yan guy is still in the village and has never rushed back, ...... You do me a favor. β
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly said, "Venerable, please speak." β
His Holiness trembled and took out a jade plaque from his bosom, which was not a precious jade, but it had been a long time ago, and the yellow jade had a oily luster under the frequent touch.
The Venerable handed the jade plate to Ye Xiaotian, and said in a weak tone: "You put ...... This jade plaque was handed over to Zhan Ning'er, and asked her to take the jade plaque to the village and summon Ge Yu Lao back. As soon as you see this jade plate, you will understand what happened. β
Ye Xiaotian said in his heart: "This old guy has been doing ghosts for a long time, and now he has finally told the truth, the heir he chose should be Ge Yuan, but when he was at the threshold of life and death, he beat Ge Yan and left the temple, it should be to protect him, so as not to be targeted by Yang Yinglong and others." β
Ye Xiaotian took the jade plaque and asked, "Why didn't His Holiness send someone from the temple?" β
His Holiness said, "I can't hide anything from me. I'm here, and I can still hold them down, as soon as something happens to me, they will be ready to move, and at that time, anyone in the temple who wants to leave will attract the attention of those who care, only ...... Let Ning'er help. The An family and the Zhan family behind her have always been good friends with Ge Yan, and she will be willing to help in this matter. β
Ye Xiaotian's eyes widened in surprise, Venerable smiled slightly, and said, "I know, you and Yang Yinglong are just false and wronged, if you want to talk about the relationship, you are more inclined to settle down." β
Ye Xiaotian coughed and said: "I have nothing to do with the An family, I just have a good impression of Miss Ning'er, and I don't want to get involved in your Miao people's affairs at all." β
The Venerable said, "But this trip to the troubled waters, you have already waded. β
Ye Xiaotian gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll give her the jade plaque for you. But you're ......"
The Venerable closed his eyes tiredly, and said with a faint breath: "After you leave, I will immediately activate the Gu God Great Array to close the temple, and when the Ge Yan Lao comes back, you go quickly, I will ...... Those who use secret methods to hang their lives and wait for him to come back, go quickly! β
