Chapter Seventy-One: Praying for Blessings

After Gu Xiqian went back, thinking about the matter of the six princes just now, she suddenly didn't even want to go out outside, and immediately went back to the Gu Mansion, although the emperor's house arrest was still there, it was better than meeting the six princes outside.

The next day, Gu Xiqian got up, and when she was about to go out, she saw her father-in-law come to the main hall with someone, as if waiting for him.

"I don't know what happened to my father-in-law, does the emperor want to continue house arrest?" Gu Xiqian said with a smile.

I saw my father-in-law smile and said: "The county lord said that he was joking, the emperor had already asked the servants to withdraw the people yesterday, and this time I came to ask the princess for something." ”

Gu Xiqian looked at the yellow reels in his hands, which looked a little like a holy decree, and suddenly understood.

"But it doesn't hurt for my father-in-law to say it, the lord of this county must do his best."

If you refuse, it is estimated that the guild will read the holy decree on the spot, which can be regarded as a temptation, if you refuse, even if you use the holy decree, when you get to the emperor, there will be a bit of a threat.

Seeing that he had to test his attitude of even ordering one thing, Gu Xiqian couldn't help but wonder what it was.

I saw my father-in-law cough a few times and said: "The emperor ordered the national teacher to watch the stars at night last night, and found that the national fortune was weak, but the emperor had no time to doppelganger every day, so he asked the county lord to pray for blessings at the Taoist temple outside the city and bless the prosperity of the country." ”

"That's nature, the people's lives are stable, it is the blessing of a country, the lord of this county will leave later, and ask the father-in-law to reply to the emperor."

With Gu Xiqian's assurance, the father-in-law immediately put away the scroll and saluted respectfully, "The county lord is kind-hearted, and the national fortune will be prosperous forever." ”

Looking at her father-in-law's various sycophants, Gu Xiqian was also a little helpless, so she personally sent her father-in-law out, and then went to the Taoist temple after turning around and getting ready.

Gu Xiqian came to the Taoist temple outside the capital, and looked at the inside was a little dilapidated, but it was still full of incense, and couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, the Taoist priest wearing a blue Taoist robe walked out of it, and immediately knelt down after seeing Gu Xiqian, "Lord Ronghui is here, and I am not welcome you from afar, please forgive me." ”

It doesn't matter, I came this time to ask for a signature for the emperor, so that the country can prosper without disturbing others. Gu Xiqian said.

When the Taoist priest heard this, he didn't speak, and immediately dispersed the people around him, and personally walked in with Gu Xiqian.

The Taoist temple is very empty, only a big tripod is placed in the middle, and there are rooms all around, and even a few trees are scattered all over the Taoist temple.

What is unexpected is that Dao looks dilapidated on the outside, and the inside is indeed very neat, and it can even be said that it is a little out of place in comparison.

The Taoist priest seemed to see through Gu Xiqian's thoughts, and said with a light smile: "The county lord doesn't know, the Taoist temple was renovated a few years ago, but the outer wall lacked silver taels, so it was not repaired, please forgive me." ”

Gu Xiqian immediately handed over a silver ticket, "Dao Chief, this is a little bit of the emperor's heart, please smile, about the matter of praying for blessings..."

Looking at the silver ticket, the Taoist chief immediately assured: "The emperor has all the opportunities, the fortune of the country is naturally prosperous, and the people should be very happy to have this king." ”

Just as the two of them entered, they saw Mo Xuanyin walk in, and saw the Taoist chief immediately go over and greet him.

Knowing that Mo Xuanyin's purpose was also to pray for blessings at the emperor's request, Gu Xiqian was suddenly confused, why did the emperor send the two of them over to ask for a signature, are you still afraid that the signature will not be accurate?

However, since there is one more person, Gu Xiqian is also a little relieved, because no matter what sign is requested, the other one will not be bad at least.

Mo Xuanyin looked at Gu Xiqian and immediately understood the emperor's strength, but since he was here, he had no choice but to do it.

"Now that everyone has arrived, please go in and wait." The Taoist said politely.

Look at this room there is a statue of an immortal, with an incense burner in front of it, and two sticks, which looks no different from an ordinary Taoist temple.

Just as the two of them were waiting, they saw two masked men wearing alien costumes walking out of it, attracting Mo Xuanyin's attention.

The two men were dressed in black leather, with several small bamboo tubes hanging from their belts, somewhat like those of fighting crickets, and a black cloth tied around their faces to cover their eyes.

When Mo Xuanyin looked at them, he saw that the expressions of the two immediately became a little flustered, and they left the room quickly.

"They're dressed a bit like wizards." Gu Xiqian said.

Mo Xuanyin suddenly understood what he had learned, and immediately walked into the room, and sure enough, there was a Taoist priest who died, and immediately went out and grabbed Gu Xiqian's hand and said, "Hurry up and chase the two just now." ”

At this time, seeing that the two had not gone far, Mo Xuanyin immediately chased after him and stopped the other party.

"You two, do you want to leave after killing someone?"

When the two saw that the matter was revealed, they immediately started to attack the past.

Mo Xuanyin traveled all over the world, naturally understood the power of witchcraft, and when he just entered the room, he looked at the insects on the Taoist priest and crawled again, and understood that the other party was good at Gu magic.

The other party's palm was gray and black, as if he had touched something on it, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately took two steps back, turned over and avoided the opponent's attack, you know, with those people, if you touch it a little, you don't know what Gu worms will be on you without knowing it.

Gu Xiqian on the side walked out, and the other person immediately went over to catch her when he saw her.

Mo Xuanyin saw that Gu Xiqian was in danger, so he immediately moved his steps, staggered past the person in front of him, and immediately ran to Gu Xiqian.

Gu Xiqian watched the other party rush towards her, and immediately ran backwards, but accidentally fell to the ground.

Just when the other party reached out to grab herself, she hurriedly ripped off the cloth that the other party was holding her face, and saw a terrifying face appear in front of her.

The gray-black face, godless eyes, and the scar on the left side of the face made Gu Xiqian scream immediately.

At this time, the other party realized that his face was seen, and immediately waved his hand to cover his face and took a few steps back.

However, at this time, Mo Xuanyin ignored the other party, and immediately went over to say that Gu Xiqian helped him up, "Are you okay?" ”

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party ignored him, the two took the opportunity to leave, and when Mo Xuanyin wanted to continue the pursuit, the figure was already gone.

"I actually let the other party escape." Mo Xuanyin said a little unconvinced.

At this time, I saw that the Taoist who had just entertained them immediately came over and asked in a panic, "What happened to the two of you?" ”

Mo Xuanyin probably said something, the Taoist chief was a little puzzled, so he immediately went to the room to check, and sure enough, the person was dead, just when he wanted to report to the official, Mo Xuanyin stopped the other party.

"Dao Chief, don't startle the snake, leave this matter to us to investigate." Mo Xuanyin said.

However, the Dao Chief was not surprised by the dead person, but said in a panic: "Oh no, this is the formation of the other party's cloth!" ”

Hearing them set up a formation, the two suddenly looked at each other in surprise, only to see Dao Changnian pinching his fingers a few times, muttering for a while, shaking his head and saying: "It seems that we are still one step late, the other party may have already set up the formation, and the Chao Gang is in danger." ”

Mo Xuanyin asked for a way to save him, but the Daoist didn't know Gu art, so they could only investigate this matter by themselves.

After leaving the Taoist temple, Gu Xiqian was a little puzzled, why did people of other races set up a formation to target the South Vietnamese country, and there have been no major wars in these years, so it should be regarded as the peace of the country and the people.

And Mo Xuanyin's thoughts are a little different from Gu Xiqian's, he thinks that these people should be aimed at the emperor, and destroying the national fortune is just one of the other party's means, it seems that the purpose of the people behind it is not pure.

Along the way, Gu Xiqian thought about the face of the person just now, the gray and black seemed to have not taken a bath for a long time, the godless eyes had become jet black, and the scar was also very conspicuous.

"I think I've seen one of them." Gu Xiqian said.

Mo Xuanyin was a little surprised, so she immediately went back and drew according to her description.

After a while, a portrait had already come out, but what Gu Xiqian said was very strange, because such a person would only have a gray face and a dull eye if he was dead.

However, it is not excluded that it is the other party's disguise, so in the next time, Gu Xiqian stayed in the Gu Mansion, for fear that the other party would retaliate, and knew that until the matter was clarified.

And Mo Xuanyin took the portrait and secretly investigated, but what was puzzling was that few people in the capital knew each other, and no one had even seen people wearing alien clothes.

Mo Xuanyin was suddenly a little speechless, although there were many people in the capital, but two people who were dressed so obviously, why had no one seen it?

After thinking about it for a while, Mo Xuanyin suddenly remembered that since the incident happened outside the city, it meant that the other party might live outside the city, so he split and rode out of the city.

Sure enough, some people outside the city had seen them, but when some of them saw the portrait, they immediately shook their heads and said they didn't know, and then left in a panic.

Now that he had a clue, Mo Xuanyin naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity, so he continued to ask, and finally got an answer from an old man.

"Young man, the person in your portrait died a few years ago, how can a dead person move?"

Hearing that the other party had been dead for several years, Mo Xuanyin was a little surprised, since that person was dead, who was the person who appeared in front of Gu Xiqian at that time?

After asking the people outside the city, Mo Xuanyin only asked about the news, so he went back a little helplessly.

One night, Mo Xuanyin tossed and turned, thinking about what the old man said, although he had seen Gu techniques, but he had never seen Gu techniques that could move dead people, and the other party's hand at that time should have been rational, which was impossible for a corpse.

And even though those people knew about the man, they had not seen the two men in alien costumes, who seemed to have disappeared after that incident, and it was harder to find out than to find a needle in a haystack.

"Have they already left? Or are you hiding? ”

Remembering what the Taoist chief said at that time, could it be that the fortunes of the country have really changed because of their formation?
