Gu Zuo also rectified the imperial court and made full use of the power of the court. The main change lies in integration, merging the two systems of Nanwu Prefecture and Chaotang, so as to avoid some people dying of busyness and others of idleness.

The system of Southern Wuzhou was revoked, and the butcher served as the servant of the Ministry of Officials, Cheng Shanhu served as the waiter of the Ministry of War, the former Taoist served as the waiter of the household department, Liu Xuanji served as the waiter of the criminal department, Gao Changjiang served as the waiter of the Ministry of Works, Li Gusheng was in charge of the craftsman as the supervisor, Zhao Xianglu was in charge of Chang Ping, and Li Twelve was in charge of the teaching workshop and so on.

This kind of integration was very popular with the court, and the government hall expressed its "joy" at it.

The production and refining of seawater spirit stones has been going on continuously, and the cultivation strength of the monks of Nanwu Prefecture is also advancing by leaps and bounds, and after a year and a half of breaking the boundary and moving in, more monks have broken through the realm, and in the Nanwu army, this phenomenon is quite obvious.

The number of emergency squads composed purely of Jindan exceeded fifty, and one-third of them were in the late stage of Jindan; among the battalions, the proportion of monks in the late stage of foundation building was also increased from one-third to two-thirds, and the remaining one-third could also be counted as senior foundation building in the early stage. The overall combat strength of the Southern Wu Army has gone further.

On the occasion of the first day of the ninth year of Zhide, the court held a celebration event, the Son of Heaven and Concubine Zhang were invited to sit in front of the majestic platform on the south bank of Dongxi, his head was Gu Zuo and Li Twelve, and then to both sides, on the left was the civil and military officials, and on the right was the elders and deacons of the various sects led by the Huaixian Pavilion.

The small court of the Tang Dynasty with 30,000 people seems to be extremely harmonious.

Looking at the singing and dancing on the stage, the Son of Heaven asked Gu Zuo: "After staying in this world for more than a year, what will the Taishi do next? Will he continue to recuperate, or will he return to Southern Wuzhou?"

The surrounding ministers and the elders of the various sects all turned their heads, waiting for Gu Zuo's answer with concern.

Gu Zuo said: "It turns out that we were born in adversity and died in peace, we used to live too comfortably in the Xuandu World of Passage, so the progress of cultivation was slow, and after coming out, everyone's cultivation kept rising, rising very quickly." In the past, if you want to take a step forward, it is usually more than six years, more than ten years, twenty years, especially at every juncture, you have to worry about your understanding. Now, a year and a half, everyone has broken through the realm, which shows that it is very necessary to look at the heavens. ”

After a pause, he said: "Therefore, in the future, our goal is to return to Dongsheng Shenzhou, in my heart, it should be our hometown, but to return to our hometown, there is no hurry, I hope that the Tang army can continue to grow, and return to the hometown after all the Jindan, so that there is a certain amount of self-preservation." Of course, before that, we must not let our guard down, and we will continue to observe what is going on in this world. ”

"Say what you don't want to hear, you must always be ready to fight, the so-called forgetting the war will be worried, don't look at the peace for a year and a half, maybe one day, the enemy will come, when the time comes, scare us!"

In Gu Zuo's speech, a Chaoyun talisman rose high into the sky in the fireworks, and the smiling face of the little lady Chaoyun was reflected on the sea, with a bright smile.

A stone at the bottom of the reef moved, and it began to poke its head out, and it was the Blue Turtle Squire who had been awakened from a half-asleep dream. Confused, he looked up at the place where the light was coming from, the sky above the reef. It's night, how can there be a morning glow?

He slowly floated up from the bottom of the sea, exploring the root of the red light flashing on the water, until he floated up two hundred feet before slowly revealing the water, and now he finally saw clearly. There are all kinds of fireworks in the sky, the most conspicuous is the beautiful face that smiles from time to time, and every time this kind of fireworks rises, the sea is illuminated as bright as day for a moment.

After recalling for a moment, the green turtle squire suddenly woke up and patted his head. In the past 100 years, he has never slept well, and every time he falls asleep, he can't sleep well, which also leads to memory problems. When his cultivation reached his level, he had already touched the cultivation ceiling of the Xuangui clan, and he would either strive to improve bravely and become an immortal, or he would begin to go downhill.

There are very few turtles that can break through the ceiling, and unfortunately, from the current indications, they should not be among them.

Sleeping and not sleeping soundly, waking up and having a headache, this kind of day is quite uncomfortable. He knew that he would suffer in this pain for hundreds of years, and his ultimate destiny would be to become a skeleton on Mount Jia, guarding future generations.

patted his head, slightly stopped the headache, and the green turtle waiter began to cruise around the island floating on the sea, complete the task early, and go back to apply to the ancestor for a big pill, so as to relieve the pain a little.

In order to avoid being discovered by the island, he carefully moved away from the island, and from time to time he sank into the deep sea, carefully watching and observing the changes on the island.

A month later, the Blue Turtle Squire thought he had almost understood, and began to return. On the way back, he was tormented by the painful state of being tired and awake, and he slept again, but he still couldn't sleep well, so he could only continue the journey and return to the Prime Minister's Mansion thousands of miles away.

This is a huge mountain range hundreds of zhang deep into the bottom of the sea, in the canyon in the middle of the mountain range, from time to time there are several feet high big mussels in the opening and closing, the night pearl in the mussels keeps flashing with the opening and closing momentum, pointing out the direction for the way forward.

From time to time, a giant turtle poked its head out of the dark hole along the road, which was the guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when he saw that the person who came was the green turtle squire, he shrank back one after another.

When I walked in the canyon for a long time, a hill appeared in front of me, which was transparent in front and back, and there were four gates on the left and right, which was actually a huge turtle shell.

At the entrance, there is a horizontal plaque with a blue background, which reads "Prime Minister's Mansion".

After entering the Prime Minister's Mansion and waiting slowly on the aquatic plant mat at the door, the little turtle came to say that the ancestor had taken a nap and asked the green turtle to wait for a while.

The Blue Turtle Squire nodded and said, "It's okay, just wait." ”

After waiting for another three days, the green turtle waiter was awakened by the turtle waiter in a daze: "Squire, the ancestor has woken up." ”

So the blue turtle squire who had a splitting headache tried his best to cheer up and went inside to see. Inside, a large turtle has taken on a human form and sits in a chair wearing an official hat.

"The ancestor asked Cha to fly to the island, Sun Sun has already seen a rough idea, and he has come to report to the ancestor that he knows. ”

"The good grandson is Lisuo, I thought it would be a while before I came back...... Don't be busy talking, let's talk about it when Bai Shangshu comes. I have sent him over for discussion. ”

The two closed their eyes in the hall and waited, and three days later, a large white-headed turtle belatedly arrived, and sat down in the same human form, but with a carapace on its back.

The proceedings resumed.

The Blue Turtle Squire will be ordered to check what he saw and heard on the flying island, and then said: "This flying island came from nowhere, and I haven't seen the high cultivators, most of them are Jin Dan and Yuan Ying. ”

The white-headed turtle Shangshu asked, "How many people are there, and how many of them know the Dao Fa?"

Qinggui Shilang said: "There are about tens of thousands of people on the island, as far as I can see, there are more than ten people who have cultivated the Yuan Infant, nearly 100 Jindan, but there are many monks, I am afraid there are nearly 10,000. ”

The white-headed turtle Shangshu said: "I don't know which immortal's subordinates?"

The green turtle squire shook his head: "I don't know this." ”

The white-headed turtle Shangshu said: "If you enter Jiashan Mountain in the East China Sea without permission, you should be driven away according to the rules." ”
