When Gu Xu's cultivation was not high, he had always been a rather "superstitious" person.

Every time he goes out to do a task, he has to make a divination to make sure that his life is not in danger before he is willing to go out.

He has dabbled in methods such as the Six Pillars, Astrological Signs, Dream Occupation, and Ghost Occupation.

However, after he was promoted to saint, he rarely used these methods.

After all, while he sanctified with the way of "subversion", he denied the way of the astrological fate of the Ziwei Emperor, denied the view that "everything is predestined", and admitted the existence of uncertainty and free will.

Because he no longer believes in fate, the results he obtains when he does divination, especially when it comes to people of equal or even greater strength, will no longer be as accurate as they used to be.

But he never regretted it.

It is precisely because of the existence of variables that there is an additional thing called "miracle" in the world, which will become vivid and wonderful.

"Wenchang, in addition to He Yiqun, who are the remaining Liuji and Luma?" Gu Xu frowned slightly and asked Luo Chuan beside him.

Luo Chuan said respectfully: "Emperor, the left auxiliary star is the former Great Qi National Master Wang Jian, the right Bixing is the previous generation of Yan Guogong Zhao Changying, Tiankui Star is the Tiankui Sword Master Chu Fengge, Tianyue Star corresponds to the Tianyue Sword Lord Shangguan Jin, and Lu Cunxing is your staff Shen Qiu...... As for Wen Changxing, that is Lao Chen himself. ”

Gu Xu glanced at the astrolabe again, and found that the main star of the life palace of these people that Luo Chuan said did correspond to these six Ji Lu horses one by one.

I have to say that when it comes to astrological fate, sometimes the description of people is quite accurate.

For example, Zhao Changying, the main star of his life palace is the right Bi star, which is the auxiliary star of Ziwei, symbolizing autocracy, intelligence, ability, affection, uprightness, good almsgiving, cautious and strategic. Because of this, he was able to endure silently for many years for the sake of his deceased wife, playing a decadent drunkard and secretly planning revenge.

But he wasn't a rebel.

After Zhao Changying proclaimed himself the king of Yan, the north faced the dilemma of extreme lack of materials and internal contradictions. Although Zhao Changying is a true monarch and a strong man, he is too scrupulous to abide by the Zhao family's oath of "the same clan shall not kill each other", to suppress the voices of those pro-Qi opposition, and clear all obstacles for his daughter's ascendancy.

In the end, it was Gu Xu who took action and sent Zhao Changqi and Zhao Yu to the dungeon, and the other to the Xianggu Pavilion, which helped Zhao Yan shape the absolute authority belonging to King Yan.

In Gu Xu's view, Zhao Changying is sometimes too upright, her heart is not black enough, her hands are not ruthless enough, she cares too much about family responsibility and brotherly righteousness, and ignores that many people in the world are mercenary.

With Gu Xu in the same position today, he can come up with more than one way to kill Zhao Changqi and his son without breaking his oath, and then throw the pot on the head of the Great Qi Dynasty. He could even go to the funeral of Zhao Changqi's father and son with tears, saying, "Qi killed my brother and my nephew, and I am inseparable from it."

And now, after Zhao Changying unloaded the burden of Dayan, she seemed to be suddenly twenty years younger. Recently, he likes to take a team of elite monks to go deep alone, conquer the city for Great Xia, and then like a child, he will be more meritorious than other true monarchs and saints and powerhouses.

Even Zhao Yan sometimes couldn't help but complain to Gu Xu: "My father is even more naïve than a five-year-old child." ”

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Luo Chuan missed an important star.

"What about Wenqu?" Gu Xu asked.

"Wenqu Xing is Lu Shiyao, the previous owner of the Jinghong pen." Luo Chuan replied.

Hearing this name, Gu Xu's face was still calm, but his heart couldn't help but tremble for a moment.

"Oh, didn't she die years ago?"

"Emperor, in your Amazing Pen, there is the imprint of her lifeline," Luo Chuan explained, "Because the first owner of the Amazing Pen, Lu Zhiyuan, the ancestor of the Lu family, was also a Wenqu star, so although Miss Lu died, her life still existed in this magic weapon and was incarnated as its spirit. ”

Gu Xu was silent and did not speak.

He remembered that when he was still an official in Yishui County, Luo Chuan tried all kinds of ways to persuade him to solve the case of the Lu family's murder house, making him the new owner of the Jinghong pen.

He also remembered that when he was cornered by the pursuers of the Great Qi Dynasty, neither Luo Chuan nor the "Qingying" organization provided him with any help, so he could only climb Yishan Mountain to find the Snow Girl as a bodyguard.

Later, in order to save him, the Snow Maiden spontaneously ignited her soul and died.

Carefully skimming through the memories of Emperor Ziwei again...... Gu Xu once again deeply felt that the layout of Emperor Ziwei was like a huge net, penetrating into all aspects of his past experience, all the time. If it weren't for his desperate fight on the top of Kunlun Mountain, Emperor Ziwei would have occupied his body at this time, showing off his power everywhere and appearing in front of people.

"Now that the time is ripe," after a long silence, Gu Xu finally opened his mouth and ordered, "Then let's start preparing to attack Luojing!" “

…………

Seven days later, the Xia army occupied the entire territory of Lianghu Province and formed a north-south encirclement of Zhili Province where Luojing City was located.

Half a month later, the two prefectures of Nanyang and Runing announced their surrender to Great Xia.

A month later, Zhao Changying and Xu Man each led a team of monks to capture Zhangde Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion in the north of Zhili Province - these two strong men who had enmity with the Great Qi Dynasty had recently been riveting as if they were in a game, and they were all riveting to beat the Qi army to death, and no one refused to lag behind slightly.

In the face of the Xia army's pressing step by step, the Great Qi Dynasty repeatedly retreated, and never organized a large-scale counterattack.

Even the defenders in many places took the initiative to withdraw to Luojing City, leaving the empty city to Gu Xu.

In this regard, Gu Xu did not dare to relax his vigilance at all.

He believed that Emperor Tianxing would never give up the Great Wilderness to him easily.

And recently, he found that he could no longer see what was happening in the Luojing Imperial City through the astrolabe—a disturbing fog appeared in his field of vision, shrouding the sky above the Zichen Palace.

"Emperor Tianxing must be brewing a big move," Gu Xu thought to himself, "I must be fully prepared, and I must not be careless." ”

…………

He has one more important thing to do before attacking Loking.

"Pavilion Master Xu," on this day, he found Xu Man, who was practicing swords on the side of the mountain cliff, and said to her with a serious expression, "I promised you that I would help you kill the Ghost King of Pishan and avenge your Senior Brother Hu."

"Now, it's time to make good on my promise."

Hearing his words, Xu Man put the sword in her hand into the sheath, but she herself seemed to have turned into an out-of-body sword, exuding a sharp murderous aura all over her body.

"Emperor, shall we leave now?" She hugged Gu Xu and said.

Gu Xu nodded, took the lead in tearing the void and disappeared in place.

Xu Man followed.
