Chapter 157: Descending the Mountain

Gu Xu stood beside the marble table and was silent for a long time.

The amount of information left to him by the Kongxuan Sanren was so great that it would take him a lot of time to digest it all.

After a few minutes, the scarlet handwriting on the screen turned black again.

Gu Xu sighed softly and decided to leave Laoshan first.

Regarding the Empty Xuansan people, the Great Qi Emperor, and the Ascension, these things were still too high for him, a Second Realm cultivator.

Even if he cultivates to the realm of a saint, he may not be able to understand the truth.

Involving these secrets too early will only lead to murder.

Therefore, his top priority is to seize the time to cultivate first and improve his cultivation as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Gu Xu turned around and walked out of the door of "Xianyunju", pulled out the golden key from the door lock, and put it in his pocket.

Then his mind moved.

"Xianyunju" suddenly glowed with dazzling light, and then the color gradually faded, turning into translucent, like an ethereal mirage.

In the end, it shrank to the size of a walnut and landed firmly in the palm of Gu Xu's hand, like a miniature version of an ancient building model.

Gu Xu was not in a hurry to go down the mountain.

He spent a little time studying the usage of "Xianyunju".

He found that when the "Xianyunju" was in a shrinking state, he could directly take out the items in the house with his mind, such as tables, chairs, bedding, cheats and notes left by the empty Xuansan people, and so on.

He can also directly put the items on his body, such as talismans and magic weapons, directly into the "Xianyunju".

It's just that he himself can't enter the house when the "Xianyunju" shrinks.

And in the process, he found that the empty Xuansan people still hid a lot of strange books next to the couch of "Xianyunju", including "The Book of Plain Women", "The Book of Xuannu", "The Secret Book of Mandarin Ducks", "The Secret of the Boudoir", "The Secret of Miscellaneous Affairs", "The Biography of the Women of the River" and so on.

Many of these books were once banned by the Great Qi Imperial Court.

In addition to this, there are a lot of strange items.

For example, silver trays, acacia sets, hanging jade rings, reluctance bells, white continuation belts, sulfur rings and so on.

The reason why Gu Xu was able to recognize these things was because Cui Tianyou, a colleague of the Exorcism Division, had introduced their appearance and usage in front of him more than once - Cui Tianyou often used such items with his "tigress" wife between the beds, claiming to "feel extraordinary pleasure", and jokingly asked Gu Xu if he wanted to buy a few to experience as well.

Gu Xu refused with righteous words every time.

But today, it was the first time he had seen these things with his own eyes.

The tall image of the empty Xuansan people in his heart was completely subverted.

"I really didn't expect the empty Xuansan people to be so unserious in private!" Thinking of what the Kongxuan Sanren wrote in the notes, Gu Xu shook his head and sighed silently in his heart.

Then Gu Xu threw all these strange items into a hidden corner along with the forbidden books.

As a serious person who only cultivates in his heart, he will not touch these improper things!

A few minutes later, after Gu Xuche had thoroughly mastered the use of "Xianyunju", he once again turned this quaint and painted building into the size of a walnut and put it in his pocket.

At this time, the "Dao Realm Domain" left by the Kongxuansan people in the mountains gradually disappeared.

Little by little, the morning sun leaps to the top of the mountain, inlaying the rolling mountains with dazzling gold edges.

The golden light fell on the branches and leaves of the trees, and the breeze flickered brightly and dimly.

Morning dew adorns the tips of the grass, bursting with colorful halos in the fine sunlight.

Gu Xu turned around and went down the mountain, stepping on the sun, walking like the wind, and no longer felt any coercion.

…………

At the same time, at the foot of Laoshan Mountain.

Shi Lei, a thousand households in Laizhou Prefecture, and the other young monks of the "Shenji Battalion" reserve kept their heads up, silently watching the movement on the top of the mountain.

They all clearly saw that the building on the top of the hill suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

"It seems that Gu Xu has successfully obtained the inheritance of the Kongxuansan people." They couldn't help but speculate silently in their minds.

"Spirit Fox" Shangguan Jian sighed softly, and there was a trace of loneliness in his eyes.

Her jet-black sideburns had been blown by the cold wind, and the makeup on her face had fallen off, but she had no intention of taking care of her image at this time.

She felt that with her qualifications and abilities, she should have had the opportunity to become a lucky person to receive the inheritance.

It's a pity that because of a thought, she chose an opportunistic approach in the pine forest, thus forever losing the opportunity to see the top scenery.

At this moment, Chen Yan, who was beside her, said calmly: "Lord Shangguan, the opportunity on this Gu Daoyou is really extraordinary!" You see, whether it is Qingzhou Lu's 'Amazing Pen' or the Kongxuansan people who have ascended to immortality, they are all willing to choose him as the inheritor, and they are simply envious of others. ”

It can be heard that Chen Yanping is obviously trying to find an excuse for his failure - as long as he attributes Gu Xu's success to "chance", then he himself will not look too bad.

"Gongzi Chen, I think Gu Xu can have all this, it should rely on more than just chance," Shangguan Jin smiled slightly, "Compared to us, he is at least willing to honestly chop wood in that pine forest." Just looking at his heart, he has surpassed most monks in this world. ”

In fact, according to Shangguan Jin's consistent "high emotional intelligence" style, when encountering such a situation, she will generally choose to try her best to comfort the other party for a few words, rather than directly refute the other party's remarks.

It's only because she is full of regrets in her own heart now, and Chen Yanping is not good-looking, so there is no need to spend too much effort to please him, so she inadvertently said this kind of "big truth" that hit people.

"Indeed." Chen Yanping smiled bitterly and shook his head silently.

Since he failed to successfully obtain the immortal inheritance, Chen Yanping now needs to concentrate on completing his second goal - to have a good relationship with Gu Xu and persuade Gu Xu to become the son-in-law of the Xiangyang Chen family.

The fourth prince, Xiao Shangzhen, looked at the empty mountain top with a dull expression, and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

He finally understood why his sister Zhaoning wanted him to find ways to become friends with Gu Xu.

If he was going to compete with his brothers for the "Tai'a Sword", then a follower like Gu Xu who had been recognized by the immortal inheritance and famous weapons would undoubtedly become a powerful help for him.

But now, because of Du Jingjing's assassination, he unfortunately lost his cultivation.

If nothing else, he should never have a chance to fight for the throne in the future.

A proud son of heaven like Gu Xu...... Presumably he doesn't bother to make friends with a waste prince like him, right?

As for Shi Lei, there was still no expression on his face, but he couldn't help but fluctuate in his heart.

On the one hand, he was full of sympathy for Gu Xu's miserable fate of not living to be thirty years old, and hoped that this talented young man could find an opportunity to change his life against the sky in the inheritance left by the immortals.

On the other hand, Shi Lei thought that if Gu Xu really succeeded in solving the problem of lifespan, then he would probably have to marry his baby daughter to him - Xiaohan's girl has hardly suffered since she was a child, can this kid really take care of her? Will she have something to eat? Will they secretly bully her?

If you think about it, it's really reluctant.

…………

The way down is much easier than up.

Since the ban on the empty Xuansan people staying on Laoshan Mountain had completely disappeared, Gu Xu did not encounter any obstacles along the way.

The mysterious pine forests, the murderous moonlight, and the breathtaking chirping of cicadas have long since disappeared without a trace.

In addition to this, he can also use charms and magic weapons freely.

So he decisively put a "wind talisman" on himself.

In this way, even if he walks on a steep cliff, he can walk like a fly.

A few minutes later, he came to the bottom of the mountain and saw Shi Lei and the young people of the "Shenji Battalion" reserve.

He stepped forward and first saluted Shi Lei with a fist: "I'm sorry for keeping Master Shi waiting for a long time." ”

Shi Lei looked at his clear and handsome face, smiled and asked, "How about harvesting in the mountains?" ”

Gu Xu replied politely: "The harvest is not small, but I didn't find what I wanted." ”

Shi Lei naturally knew what he wanted.

He paused for a moment, reached out and patted Gu Xu on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Don't be too uncomfortable. I am sure you will be able to find a solution to this problem in the future. ”

"Thank you, Lord Shi, for your words!" Gu Xu said sincerely.

Shi Lei looked at him quietly and didn't speak again.

At this time, the morning sun fell on the young man's body, making his whole person glow with dazzling light.

It's just that...... How long will the light on him last?

Is it fleeting like a meteor, or is it burning like the sun?

Shi Lei doesn't know.

…………

?β€œ Gu Daoyou, congratulations! He became the only lucky one among all of us to receive the Immortal Inheritance!

"If it weren't for you, our 'Shenji Battalion' would have been wiped out - it would be a shame to be thrown into Grandma's house."

Shangguan Jin put Chen Yanping aside, walked in front of Gu Xu in three steps and two steps, and congratulated Gu Xu.

As she spoke, she also noticed the faint smile on Gu Xu's face.

The corners of the boy's mouth raised a confident arc, like a light rain at the beginning of the day, the morning sun in the sky, exuding a bright but not dazzling brilliance.

It looks much more pleasing to the eye than Chen Yanping's gloomy bitter gourd face.

"Thank you Shangguan Daoyou," Gu Xu responded with a smile, "Actually, I'm just lucky." ”

?β€œ Luck is also part of strength," Shangguan Jian shook his head and seriously denied his statement, "Gu Daoyou's ability to overcome many difficulties and obstacles to reach the top smoothly obviously proves that your strength is extraordinary.

"Like myself, I unfortunately fell on the test of chopping woodβ€”compared to Gu Daoyou, I undoubtedly have a little less down-to-earth cultivation attitude."

Hearing this, Gu Xu had to admit once again that this woman really knew how to praise people and knew how to make people happy in conversation.

At the same time, Chen Yanping also drove to Gu Xu's side.

He first congratulated Gu Xu on his successful inheritance, and then handed Gu Xu a note with the addresses of several refining workshops of the Chen family in Xiangyang.

"If Gu Daoyou wants a new magic weapon in the future, you must come to our Chen workshop," Chen Yanping squeezed out a smile on his face, trying to send an invitation to Gu Xu in an enthusiastic tone, "We will tailor it for Gu Daoyou, and ensure that it is very easy to use." ”

"I've long heard that the Chen Clan's workshop's magic weapon refining skills are among the best in the Great Qi Dynasty," Gu Xu responded with a polite smile, "If there is a suitable opportunity, I will definitely come to see it." ”

It can be seen that Chen Yanping is a very rational and realistic person - he believes that the essence of all interpersonal relationships is the exchange of interests. Whether it is marriage or friendship, it all comes from the use value of both parties.

So the head of the Chen family asked him to make friends with Gu Xu, but he behaved like he was selling goods.

Xiao Shangzhen, the fourth prince, stood aside, watching these people talking and laughing, and his mood was very complicated.

"White Tiger" Su Xiao gently stroked the hilt of the "Three-Foot Sword" on his waist and glanced at Gu Xu casually.

In fact, today, he also had the opportunity to climb to the top of the mountain and share the inheritance of the Kongxuansan people with Gu Xu, and by the way, enjoy the charming scenery.

But Su Xiao did not regret his choice.

Because he has long chosen the path ahead.

There was no room for anything else in his heart but the sword.

However, for Gu Xu, who successfully reached the top, Su Xiao also had a little expectation for him in his heart-

The "three-foot sword" has not been unsheathed for many years.

I wonder if this young man with infinite potential will be able to become an opponent worthy of drawing his sword in the future?

…………

After resting for a few minutes at the bottom of the mountain, the group set out on the way back.

Since the fourth prince, Xiao Shangzhen, took the "Devouring Pill" and needed to go to the headquarters of the Exorcism Division as soon as possible to find the head of the Luo Division to detoxify, so they didn't dare to delay too much time here.

It can be felt that the assassination of the four princes may cause a lot of movement in the Great Qi court.

As they passed through a nearby village, they once again saw a human-like ghost, dressed in tattered clothes and with sharp claws.

This time, Shi Lei didn't do it immediately, but looked at Gu Xu beside him with a smile and said, "Can you solve them?" ”

Shi Lei had never seen Gu Xu fight.

So he was very curious about Gu Xu's ability.

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Gu Xu knew that he could no longer be a happy bastard, so he could only nod and say, "Of course it's no problem." ”

Then, he took out a few fifth-generation "Taishang Arctic Town Demon Slaying Talismans" from his pocket, and said to "Otter?" Throw them away.

These "otters?" 's strength has not yet reached the "Evil Spirit" level, and it is enough to use the "Ghost Slaying Talisman" to easily deal with them, without using more means.

In an instant, light erupted and filled everyone's vision.

The sky, the ground, and the dilapidated houses in the village were all white and shiny, and the white was full of gold, as if the whole world had become a boiling copper water, making everyone unable to open their eyes.

After a moment, the light faded.

There was only a puddle of ash ahead, and there was no more "Otter?" Traces.

PS: Sorry for the bit of a cardin, the update is a little late.
