When Gu Xu won the championship, Luo Chuan's figure had already disappeared from Shangguan Jin's field of vision, leaving no trace.

Shangguan Jian was not surprised by this.

As a strong saint in charge of the exorcism division, Luo Si Shou's strength, as well as his mind, are like the sea, which makes people look far away and can't see the edge.

Shangguan Jin's attention fell back on Gu Xu in front of him.

Tonight's young man in green shirts, like the protagonist in the opera, dressed up and gorgeously appeared, thousands of bright lights shining for him, and the silk and bamboo orchestra sounded for him.

The first time he stepped on the stage called "Luojing City", he became a legend in the eyes of everyone, and with a slender and fragile brush in his hand, he engraved the dreamlike brilliant fireworks in everyone's hearts.

According to the past customs of Luojing, at midnight of the Lantern Festival every year, not only the bell is ringed, but also fireworks are set off - the fireworks are funded by the government, the pomp is huge, the styles are varied, and the new ones are introduced every year, which can always feast the eyes of the people of Luojing.

But this year, the fireworks session was quietly canceled.

Except for Shangguan Hibiscus, almost no one noticed the incident.

"Maybe it's because Gu Xu's 'Thousand Trees Blooming on the East Wind Night' is ahead!" Shangguan Jin silently guessed in his mind, "After all, if the fireworks set off by the government are no more than a seventeen-year-old boy, it will be a shame to throw them at grandma's house." ”

…………

After the ring match, the celebration of Lantern Festival night continued.

The colorful lights are still on until dawn. In the last hours before the sun rises, children in new clothes frolic in lanterns, and vendors shout to sell their wares to the endless stream of passers-by; Daqi's officials will also catch the tail of the Spring Festival holiday and enjoy this rare time of indulgence.

After all, after dawn, the major yamen will start operating normally, and everything will be back on track.

…………

After the white-clothed young man Qi Yan stayed for a while, he took his servant and left the bank of the Luo River.

Before leaving, he left Gu Xu a note.

"Master Gu's talent and talent are deeply admired. When I see you tonight, I feel like I've found a soulmate," I heard Qi Yan smile faintly at Gu Xu, "What is written on this note is the address of one of my family's manors." Located on the outskirts of Luojing City, it is a beautiful and secluded place, making it a good place to study and learn.

"At the end of every month, I spend a few days there, reading a few books, and recuperating my body and mind. If Master Gu doesn't dislike it, you might as well come to this manor and sit down, and we can also have a more in-depth exchange and continue to talk about the Taoist scriptures. ”

Gu Xu unfolded the note and found that there were three tall and vigorous words written on it - "Pingquanzhuang".

"Hiraizumi-so...... If I'm not mistaken, isn't this a summer garden built outside the city by the Daqi royal family? He frowned slightly, "Could it be that this Brother Qi today is actually a member of the royal family?" ”

He raised his head, but found that Qi Yan's figure had disappeared into the vast sea of people, and there was no trace of him.

He remembered Qi Yan's graceful temperament that was difficult to hide, his extensive knowledge, and his understatement about all kinds of "gossip...... If someone told him at this time that Qi Yan was a prince who traveled in micro-services, Gu Xu felt that he was likely to believe it.

Gu Xu could feel that when he was appointed by the emperor as a "waiter", he became a fragrant bun in the eyes of several princes. Like the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan, he very much hopes to recruit Gu Xu as his follower and help him compete for the "Tai'a Sword" that symbolizes imperial power.

Several other princes, except for Xiao Shangzhen, the unlucky child who lost his cultivation, may have similar thoughts.

Tonight's "chance encounter", will it be a temptation of a certain prince to himself?

"What a nuisance!" Gu Xu sighed lightly and thought to himself silently.

Tonight's Luojing City is brightly lit, like a large garden; But underneath this beautiful appearance, there is an undercurrent.

In this place, it is not easy to cultivate quietly.

…………

Gu Xu and his party were not in a hurry to return to the yamen.

For the next period of time, they blended in with the crowd and wandered around the city covered in lights.

Shi Xiaohan wanted to take advantage of the store's all-night stay open to try all kinds of snacks in Luojing City - her stomach was already rumbling with hunger due to the use of the "Gluttonous Seal" tonight.

Shangguan Hibiscus was fascinated by incense powder, rouge, and jewelry, and when he saw the good-looking golden hairpin, he grabbed it and inserted it into his hair bun, and then looked at it again and again in front of the bronze mirror - Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh that no matter how complicated a woman is, she loves beauty after all.

As for Gu Xu himself, he didn't say a word, quietly feeling the red dust and fireworks.

The road to "Wangxiangtai" is difficult to say, and simple to say. It is said to be difficult because if you can't find the trick in it, you will not be able to move an inch on those four thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps; It is said to be simple because once you have comprehended the key points, you can practice anytime and anywhere—another form of cultivation.

Although the ring in the Luo River was far from the shore, most of the audience could not fully see the faces of the monks on the stage; Gu Xu also took out a crane from the "Xianyunju" and blocked the conspicuous green shirt on his body.

But on the way, some people still guessed his identity based on his conspicuous face and conspicuous temperament.

They immediately came to greet Gu Xu enthusiastically, as if they were fans of Gu Xu's previous life who had seen their idols with their own eyes. But after getting closer, these people remembered that although Gu Xu looked young, he was already an official of the Exorcism Division, and after the disaster in Qingzhou Mansion, there was a high probability that he would rise to prominence.

Characters who are not from the same world as them.

So, their surprise quickly turned into respect.

They bowed in front of Gu Xu one by one, saying "I've seen Master Gu"; Gu Xu responded politely.

After a few rounds like this, Gu Xu felt more and more troubled, thinking that it was really a distressing thing to be famous.

Finally, when the eastern sky was shining, they finally took a carriage and left the hustle and bustle of the city center to return to the headquarters of the Exorcism Division, which was located on a hill on the outskirts of the city.

Behind them, a lantern gradually went out.

Luojing City seems to have changed from a bejeweled lady to a plainly dressed woman in a yarn, and as the sun rises, the color gradually becomes simpler.

…………

The officials in the yamen had already heard that Gu Xu showed off his skills in the ring.

A few people who were at the scene at the time climbed onto the rockery in the courtyard of the yamen at this moment, and you and I described the fierce duel between Gu Xu and one strong enemy after another;

Those who were not there listened with their ears pricked up, and at the same time felt extremely annoyed that they had missed such a wonderful thing.

Gu Xu ignored them.

After saying goodbye to Shi Xiaohan and Shangguan Jian temporarily, he went straight into the "Qingxiang Pavilion", closed the door, swallowed a "Duerdan", and began to cultivate.
