Chapter 65: The Messenger of Peace
After three days of discussion, Yang Guozhong adopted Wei Jiansu's suggestion and sent someone to communicate with Gu Zuo - Huaixianguan was the main initiator of the Yizhou Incident, which was already a consensus between the DPRK and China.
Wei Jiansu proposed to send Yuan Zai, the judge of Dali Temple, to Yizhou, and he said: "Yuan Zai has an old relationship with Gu Zuo, and someone has seen him and Gu Zuo drinking in Chunxiang Restaurant. ”
Yang Guozhong hesitated a little: "This person's official position is too low, I am afraid it will be difficult to enter Gu Zuo's eyes." His concerns were reasonable, the people sent were not heavy, and Gu Zuo inevitably doubted the sincerity of the imperial court.
Fang Xuan suddenly remembered something: "Last year, in the government of my ministry, Wang Wei once asked me to ask a group of subordinates to tell him, which was sent to Nanwu Prefecture, presumably he and Gu Zuo should also be familiar with each other." ”
The official department Lang is in the middle of the trick, which is much more important than Yuan Zai's Dali Temple commentary, and the effect must be better if he comes forward, in this regard, Yang Guozhong initially agreed, and said after thinking for a while: "Then Wang Wei is the positive, Yuan Zai is the deputy, and the day will go south." Wang Weiqian Shangshu Youcheng, Yuan Zai moved to the household department of the degree of Langzhong. ”
The two who were unexpectedly promoted left Chang'an on the first day of April and went south to Yizhou. After arriving in Yizhou, he was warmly welcomed by the trusteeship committee headed by Yang Jian. After staying in Yizhou for three days and assessing the current situation in Yizhou, we continued our journey to Southern Wuzhou.
Gu Zuo is in Southern Wuzhou, and in the past two months, his main act is to select disciples for the Huaixian Pavilion. As a large number of people moved into Southern Wuzhou, Gu Zuoke had more room to choose, especially when he heard that the Huaixian Pavilion selected disciples, and many monks in the Qi refining period and even the foundation building period asked to join, and there were more than 2,000 applicants alone.
After seven days of elimination, more than 300 people were selected, including more than 100 foundation building and qi refining period cultivators who were willing to change the Huaixian Pavilion exercises.
Of course, the quality of this group of disciples was far better than that of the first three disciples, and only a few points inferior to the fourth phase, which made Gu Zuo very satisfied. In this way, in just half a year, he will have 800 soldiers.
Gu Zuo rarely had time to teach his disciples, so he personally passed on the skills of these disciples, and after passing them on for half a month, seeing that everyone was on the right track of cultivation, he kicked the follow-up affairs to Ding Jiugu, and this senior sister instructed everyone to practice.
He himself went into retreat again, and in a month's time, he cultivated the last item in the "inheritance" of the Huaixian Pavilion: the Dan Rune Technique. If he wasn't a Taoist who had been enshrined by the Chongxuan Administration, if he didn't have a Dao, he really wouldn't have been able to learn this Dao technique.
The essence of the rune is to borrow the power of heaven and earth or the immortals, and only the Taoist head of the Chongxuan Department can be recognized by the immortals of the upper realm, and can borrow the power of the rune to draw the rune.
Dan runes are not a specific kind of runes, but a way of drawing runes. Take Lingyuan Daoist as an example, drawing talismans requires the use of special talisman paper, dansha, vermilion pen and other things, and in the process of drawing, the talisman power is condensed, and then the ritual of worshipping the talisman is completed, so that the talisman drawn can have an effect.
However, Gu Zuo's Dan rune technique does not use foreign objects, it is directly condensed in the golden pill, and it can be sent out after the drawing is completed, and the process is extremely fast. When you cast it, it's like using Dao techniques, you can hit it directly, and laymen can't understand it, and they won't even think about it at all.
After learning the art of Dan Fu, Gu Zuo studied with Lingyuan Dao Master for half a month, and wrote down more than ten drawing methods of magic runes, and the rest was a matter of proficiency.
After practicing for half a month, you can basically draw a dragon on the left and a rainbow on the right, which is quite mysterious.
While practicing the art of Dan Fu, Gu Zuo was also waiting for the response of the imperial court, and after receiving the letter sent by Yang Jian, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the imperial court did not want to tear his face with him, so there was a lot of room for maneuver.
Invited the original governor and said, "The imperial court has sent two angels to discuss the Yizhou issue with us, and you will go to the county town of Montenegro to greet you on my behalf." Try to be as enthusiastic as possible, these two are also acquaintances I met in Chang'an, and they have a good relationship. ”
The original Taoist chief agreed, and took out another letter: "From the Yongchang edict, the master is presiding over the routine proceedings of the Changshi study, and he knows that I am coming to see you, so he asked me to transfer it on my behalf." ”
Gu Zuo opened the letter and glanced at it, and was immediately shocked, and immediately said: "I will go to Yongchang Zhao, if the imperial court envoys arrive in Southern Wuzhou, please ask them to stay here for two days, and wait for me to come back." ”
Yuan Dao Chang asked, "Where are you going to Yongchang Zhao?" I will find someone to escort you. ”
Gu Zuo said as he walked: "No need, you don't know my ability yet?" Don't be afraid, I'll let Qingyuan send me over." ”
When he came to the Mansion of Wu Guo, Li Yu had just returned from Ding Jiugu, and Gu Zuo fulfilled his responsibility as a teacher by the way, and gave him a pretend to investigate his cultivation. In fact, Li Yu had been practicing the Soul Searching Technique for two years, and had already reached the realm of Qi Refining Consummation, so he was ready to retreat for the next few days. His cultivation progress was fed back at any time in Gu Zuo's sea of qi, and Gu Zuo knew it.
After explaining a few words to Li Yi about the retreat, Gu Zuo said: "I have seen you perform the finger knife technique, which is not bad, but the real secret has not been passed on to you, because I am afraid that you will be addicted to Taoism and ignore the practice of exercises, and you must remember at all times that exercises are the foundation." ”
Li Yi nodded obediently: "I understand, teacher." ”
Gu Zuo said again: "After you enter the foundation building realm, the teacher will pass on the secret of the finger sword technique to you, work hard!"
Li Yu agreed, and asked again: "Teacher, I want to go and play with the big girl now, okay?"
The eldest girl is the daughter of Liu Wu and Liu Sister-in-law, counting, she is the second batch of old people to join the Huaixian Pavilion since Ding Jiugu, and now she is thirteen years old, and she is very good, Gu Zuo also heard that she is called the first beauty of Southern Wu by the disciples of the Huaixian Pavilion.
Speaking of the big girl, she is also a cultivation seedling who was delayed by Liu Wu, when the Huaixian Pavilion recruited disciples, Liu Wu didn't allow her to go, and for some reason, she couldn't even find out if she had a talent for cultivation. It wasn't until the fourth batch of disciples was recruited that the butcher personally came forward to persuade Liu Wu, repeatedly saying that he would accept the disciples himself, and that it had nothing to do with the Gu Pavilion Master, that Liu Wu agreed.
In two and a half years, the eldest girl has cultivated to the perfection of Qi refining, and the progress of Li Yu is comparable, and the two of them are a pair of hope stars newly emerged among the disciples of Huaixian Pavilion, which are not a little stronger than Chen Mianhua, Niu Ye, Yang Luolong, and Liu Xiaoqi, who are known as the four golden flowers.
When she started to apprentice, she originally wanted to ask the butcher to give her a big name, but when Gu Zuo came to watch the ceremony, the butcher politely pushed Gu Zuo to give in, but I didn't expect that Gu Zuo, who has always been a wasted name, was not polite this time, and opened his mouth to come with a "Yifei", which made the butcher, who had been thinking about the name all night, almost choke out internal injuries in one breath.
Li Yu went to find the big girl to play, and Gu Zuo hooked his finger at the Qingyuan County Lord: "Go!"
