Chapter 360, A Plan
He Niannian smiled helplessly, feeling that this Gu Chen was really a ghost.
"Tell me first, what is written on the stone tablet, is there really no Tianque Gate in this world?"
"That, sister, aren't you a disciple of Tianque Sect? Well, I say. Gu Chen, who originally wanted to talk nonsense, saw He Niannian with a straight face, so he had to answer honestly.
"I was an orphan before, and one night I woke up hungry, and found a black stone tablet next to me, and there was a book under the stone tablet, I had never read and could not read, and I was going to take that book and sell it for a copper plate, but who knew that when I touched the stone tablet, I could actually read the words on it.
At the moment, I felt that it was so magical, and the Tianque Gate written on the stone tablet must be even more powerful, so I kowtowed to the stone tablet a few times, claiming to be a disciple of the Tianque Gate, and I also kept the book. ”
"It's a pity, I'm so stupid, even if I find someone to read the book to me, I can't learn it, so I can only rely on my half-baked skills." Gu Chen lowered his head in shame, he had embarrassed the sect.
He Niannian raised his hand and touched his head, comforting him, "You don't have a master's teaching, it's good to be able to learn like this, can you let me read that book?" ”
Gu Chen was very embarrassed, "That, I lost the book," he said as he lowered his head, not daring to look at his senior sister, for fear that she would be unhappy.
"Lost?"
"Well, I didn't mean to, not long after I got that book, I found a show to help me study, who knew that the next night a group of robbers suddenly came to the ruined temple where I lived, and the book was snatched away, I'm sorry, senior sister, I couldn't protect our sect's book."
"I don't blame you, after all, books are things outside the body, and you're fine." He Niannian originally planned to look at that book, but now that it is gone, he can only say that he has no chance with that book.
"Thank you, senior sister." Gu Chen grinned and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Gu Chen, can you tell me about this country and the general?"
"Okay, the country we are in is Xiangguo, in addition to six countries, three of which are strong and four are small, the reason why our Xiangguo can become a strong country is the credit of General Mo."
"Mo? The general's surname is Mo? He Niannian's heart moved, is it really?
"Yes, I remember that someone said that the name of the great general was Monet, and the general was also known as the ghost-faced general, and it was said that he was the cursed one."
Monet, it's really Monet, He Niannian breathed a sigh of relief, he had already determined that this general was Monet, great, things have finally progressed, as for what curse, she didn't believe it.
Gu Chen secretly observed Senior Sister's expression, guessing her relationship with this great general.
"You go on, is the general in the capital now? And where are we now, and how far are we from the capital? He Niannian's tone was a lot lighter, and the stone in his heart fell.
Gu Chen didn't doubt why He Niannian didn't know any of this, in his opinion, the Tianque Sect was so powerful, it must be a hidden world sect, so the senior sister who had been cultivating in the sect all the year round must know less about this world, wouldn't this reflect his significance?
He must tell his senior sister well, so that his senior sister thinks that he is still useful, and he can teach him a one-and-a-half move, not to mention anything else, just the trick that can communicate with him in his mind.
"The place where we are is in Zhao County, next to Kyoto City, is at least half a day's walk from Kyoto, and it takes about two hours if you take a car.
This is a mountain forest on the edge of the county seat, but it is indeed as the princess said, this is a place for the outing of the nobles and nobles.
There is a big palace about two kilometers away, which should be where this princess lives. It's just that I didn't expect it to be so far away, and this is still her territory.
As for the general, he should be fighting in the southeast now, there is a small country there that always harasses the people on the border, and the general said that he will only come back after serving that small country this time. ”
After listening to his simple words, He Niannian pondered slightly, first, it is still the era of the Seven Kingdoms competing for hegemony, and there is still time before unification; Second, Monet is not in the capital, is she looking for a place to stay here and waiting for him to come back, or is she going to the small country in the southeast to find someone?
Gu Chen observed her expression and had some guesses, "Sister, are you an old acquaintance with the general?" Want to go to him? ”
He Niannian didn't hide it, he nodded, Gu Chen looked easily irritated, and a little childish, in fact, he was very smart, and he could also observe words and feelings, and knew how to achieve his goal.
Since she has already determined that the other party is a person from Tianque Sect, He Niannian does not plan to hide anything, and the most important thing is that she needs Gu Chen's help now, so that she can better integrate into this society.
Gu Chen was very happy, Senior Sister trusted him so much, and immediately became energetic, "Senior Sister, I suggest that you still wait here for the general to come back, first, women are not allowed to enter the battlefield, and second, the Seven Kingdoms have regulations that you cannot use skills that exceed ordinary people, that is to say, people from sects are not allowed to join, especially disciples of special sects." ”
"If you pass, that small country will have an excuse to say that Xiangguo has violated the law."
Is there such a rule? He Niannian dispelled the idea of going to Monet, since the Xiang Kingdom was unified in history, then now that Monet is safe, she still shouldn't go over to help.
Seeing He Niannian nodded, Gu Chen was very happy, and Senior Sister could still listen to his suggestion, "Senior Sister, do you believe that person is a princess?" Since it's a princess, why doesn't there be a guard entourage, and oh, you asked me to agree to her conditions, do you want to get news of General Mo? ”
"You guessed right, I just came here and wanted to find Monet, but I didn't know the place well, I just happened to meet Hui Niang, plus she is an official family, I will definitely be able to easily get news of him, and even meet him.
Another point is that I deliberately used the attack charm in front of her to increase the chips. ”
"Is it a bargaining chip to negotiate or improve your status and increase your voice?"
He Niannian smiled and nodded, Gu Chen was really smart, he was able to understand it at one point, it was true, although I didn't know if I was right with this step, at least, this Hui Niang offered to let them send her back, this is a good start.
"Sister, do you want me to use gold and silver as a reward, don't you want her to think that we are insatiable, or let her relax her vigilance, thinking that we are poor people with special skills, and make her think that we are easy to control? I still want to give her the illusion that we are disciples of the sect who have not been deeply involved in the world. ”
"Gu Chen, you are very smart, you did guess my intentions, but there is one more point, tomorrow I will inadvertently say some things about the sect to Hui Niang, and the sect will be portrayed as very mysterious and powerful, we are out to experience, simple-minded, and don't pay attention to anything except cultivation." He Niannian added.
Gu Chen nodded brightly, "I know, sister, but what is our sect like?" Can you tell me about it? ”
He Niannian was a little embarrassed, she didn't know, she hadn't been to Tianque Sect, and some information about this sect was also learned from Guo Lao and Master Feng.
Looking at Gu Chen's sparkling eyes, He Niannian tilted his head slightly and thought for a moment, thinking of the fairy mountain on TV, "Our sect, on the top of the mountains, there are clouds and mist all year round, the world is independent, and the environment is quiet.
There is a spacious gate, hundreds of white marble steps, the door is a ten-meter-high boulder, on which are written three majestic characters of Tianque Gate, the houses are built in the middle of the mountain, every morning to get up, breathe in the fresh air, anyway, it is cultivation.
In this way, if you imagine what a mountain in the fairy world is like, what our sect is like. ”
She couldn't make it up, so she had to let him imagine it for himself.
And Gu Chen made up countless beautiful and ethereal pictures in his mind, only Xianshan was worthy of their sect, he thought arrogantly.
"Sister, can you teach me a little skill? Or I can worship you as a teacher. Gu Chen's eyes turned smartly, and he was about to kneel down and kowtow to He Niannian.
"Don't, you're still going to be my junior brother." He Niannian hurriedly stopped him, this kid is too clever, if she really knows, it's okay to accept this apprentice, but she can't, she can't mislead people's children.
"Does my sister think I'm stupid?" Gu Chen lowered his face and looked at He Niannian aggrievedly.
"No, the key is that Tianque Gate is very strict in accepting apprentices, yes, very strict, you can't accept apprentices casually, especially after the other party already has a teacher, you can't just switch to others." He Niannian hurriedly explained, and thought of a reason by the way.
"Oh, I see, this is to prevent robbery, isn't it? If you meet a smart disciple, everyone rushes to ask for it, and it's easy to have conflicts or fights, isn't that the case, sister? ”
"Yes, you're so smart, that's it, so, I can give you the charm and show you how to draw, but you have to understand it yourself."
Gu Chen nodded happily, "Thank you, sister, I will definitely study hard, and I will definitely not embarrass our sect." ”
He Niannian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got it done, she took out the simplest defense charm and healing charm, "This green is a healing charm, and this yellow is a defense charm, you try to draw it with your hands first, when you can draw it down, you are using your mind to outline." ”
Gu Chen wiped his hand vigorously on the robe, then carefully took the rune paper, put the rune paper in his arms, and felt that he was carrying a treasure, after a while, he took out the rune paper to look at it, made sure that it was not thrown away, and put it back with peace of mind.
Seeing his cautious appearance, He Niannian smiled and bent his eyebrows, "This is for you, eat one every three days, it can increase your divine thoughts." She handed Gu Chen a small bottle of red fruits, it was really a very small bottle, half a palm's size, and it contained almost twenty fruits.
Gu Chen took it and knew that this was also a good thing, so he still put it in his arms, which was very conspicuous, but he was not at ease when he put it elsewhere.
"Do you have anything with space, preferably easy to carry, sturdy, not necessarily big, just a little space, I'll get you a simple space container." She was full of patience with Gu Chen, who was still a child, and treated him as if he were her younger brother.
