Chapter Twenty-Five: Ascend to Zhongnan Mountain Again
After the shock caused by the Lishui faction, Gu Zuo left without further delay, it was already the beginning of December, and he needed to rush to Chang'an immediately to try to prevent a possible war, although so far, he felt that he seemed to be a little unfounded.
In Tang Fengchuan, at the junction of the north and south of Yongchang Zhao, the county lord of Qingyuan was already waiting here, and when he saw Gu Zuo, he chuckled: "I want to go back to see my mother, I told him, you don't agree." ”
Gu Zuo was silent: "It's not that I'm unkind, it's just that his identity is different, and if I go back at this time, I am in danger of being detained by the imperial court." ”
The county lord of Qingyuan hurriedly said: "I told him, after achieving Jindan, I will go home with the sword, this is what the man's husband does, he is a sensible child, he knows what to do." ”
Seeing that Gu Zuo was not in a very good mood, he asked again: "I heard something about the mobilization of the Southern Wu Army...... Is it really that serious?"
Gu Zuo shook his head: "I don't know, I'm just prepared, I hope I'm too worried." ”
The county lord of Qingyuan bowed his head: "It's a pity that I, as the county lord, can't help you anything." ”
Gu Zuo smiled: "Won't this help?" Let's go, I'll see how you fly." ”
The county lord of Qingyuan happily threw out the flying sword, and took Gu Zuo straight into the blue sky, the wind was whistling in her ears, and she said loudly: "I have been practicing flying hard for half a year in Nanwuzhou, and Mr. Jin said that I can already be a teacher!"
"Flying well. Gu Zuo shouted encouragement behind her ear.
"Do you want to go faster?" Qingyuan asked back.
The four eyes were paired, close at hand, stunned for a long time, Gu Zuo pointed ahead: "Be careful, mountain!"
Qing Yuan hurriedly turned around and exclaimed, "Ah-" The flying sword turned sharply and brushed diagonally past the top of the mountain.
Gu Zuo didn't stand firmly, his hands wrapped around Qingyuan's waist, Qingyuan's body trembled, and the roots of his ears were red, like a mud puppet, and he didn't dare to move.
Gu Zuo continued in her ear: [Nameless] "You can slow down and be steady. ”
As if he hadn't heard it, Qingyuan maintained its speed and swept between the valleys.
From time to time, he dodges the hill on the left and shakes to the right......
From time to time, get out of the way of the hill on the right and flash to the left......
Or climb up to the top of a mountain, lift up and then push down......
Gu Zuo hugged the thin waist in front of him with his arms, he didn't dare to relax at all, he didn't want to relax, he felt fleshy, and it was both exciting and comfortable in high-speed flight.
He suddenly remembered the past when he was taken by the Spirit Source Dao Elder and the butcher to fly, it was really unbearable to look back, no wonder Luo looked at him with strange eyes.
That night, the two stayed in the barren mountains and wilderness, and glanced at each other against the backdrop of the campfire.
The county lord of Qingyuan kept pondering: "Will he ...... Will or will not ......"
Gu Zuo has been thinking: "Twelve Niangtong disagree...... Agree or disagree......"
I thought about it all night.
After dawn, the two of them continued to rush according to yesterday's way, the closer they got to Jingzhao, the more unwilling, but the road could not always be rushed, the one who should come always had to come, the front was already Zhongnan Mountain, and after the Qingyuan County Lord put down Gu Zuo, he was reluctant to leave.
Gu Zuo cleaned up his mood, bowed at the foot of the mountain gate, and asked to see Archmage Li Mi. With his current status, he can already ask to meet the high-level figures of the Chongxuan Department at any time.
It's a pity that Li Mi is not in Zhongnan Mountain, and when Gu Zuo asked where he was, the Taoist priest had nothing to say. Gu Zuo also wanted to meet several other archmages, but only Archmage Dao Xuan was there.
Dao Xuan was painting, Gu Zuo waited in the hall for a long time, Dao Xuanfang put away the pen and said to Gu Zuo: "I'm slacking, Gu Pavilion Master forgive me, I don't know what happened when I went up the mountain this time?"
Gu Zuo explained his intentions and asked, "I asked the Lingyuan Dao Elder to pass on the letter and inform him, I wonder if the Archmage knows?"
Dao Xuan asked: "Know a little bit about it, where is the faith?"
Gu Zuo replied, "It has been presented to Grand Master Li." ”
So Dao Xuan shook his head: "Poor Dao has never seen it." ”
Gu Zuo asked again: "Jiannan Jiedu is asking for no degree, I don't know how to deal with it by the Chongxuan Department?"
Dao Xuan still shook his head: "This matter is the official business of the court, and Poor Dao doesn't know how to deal with it." ”
Gu Zuo explained: "Although it is the official business of the court, the land of Nanzhao is originally the sect for the Zhao country, and the Zhao country is the sect. ”
Dao Xuan replied: "Then those of the sect will belong to the sect, and those of the Zhao country will belong to the Zhao country." ”
Gu Zuo was flustered, but seeing that Dao Xuan was still light-hearted, he knew that he was afraid that he would come in vain today. Also, although he is also one of the several archmages who preside over the affairs of the Chongxuan Administration, Li Mi is the one who really has the final say, such as this kind of big thing, Dao Xuan will definitely not take a position easily, and he still has to find Li Mi.
In front of Dao Xuan, he asked when Li Mi would come back, that is, he was not sensible, Gu Zuo didn't ask, so he had to say goodbye and ask the Taoist priest of the guest hall to visit Yu Yuanzhi.
When I went back to Zhongnan Mountain, I came and went in a hurry, and this time I finally saw it. Yu Yuanzhi's cultivation has reached the late stage of Jindan, as a mage, he belongs to the middle and upper class Taoist priests of the Chongxuan Department, and lives in a Taoist temple under the alchemy platform.
I haven't met for many years, and when I met Yu Yuanzhi, Gu Zuo felt a sense of strangeness for a while, and he didn't know where to start.
"Xiao Gu is here? Yes, is the foundation building late?" or is it complete?"
"It's complete, just wait for the understanding. ”
"Okay, back then, in Sanyuan Palace, you were still a Qi Refiner who had just entered the cultivation, and now you have become the master of the great sect in the town. ”
"Thanks to the Taoist Chief's protection back then, otherwise there would never be Gu Zuo today. ”
"How much can I protect you? ”
"When I entered Beijing this spring, I went to the Chongxuan Department to visit the Taoist, but the Taoist came to Zhongnan Mountain, and then when I arrived at Zhongnanshan, I couldn't see the Taoist, so I missed it. I heard that the long-term cultivation is a great progress, and today I can finally present the congratulatory gift. Don't hide it, this congratulatory gift is a specialty of Nanwu Prefecture, and it has been in my storage magic vessel for more than half a year. ”
Yu Yuanzhi looked at the bag with a smile, took the eight demon pills inside, and returned the remaining spirit stones: "I have a good demon pill, I accept it with a cheeky face, forget about the spirit stones, it is not easy for you now, and I am not lacking." ”
Gu Zuo looked at this posture and knew that the Taoist priests of the Chongxuan Department were really not short of spirit stones now, and they were not hypocritical, so they took the bag back.
Yu Yuanzhi took the initiative to ask: "Xiao Gu, your Gu Pavilion Master went up the mountain today, did you come for something?"
Gu Zuo said: "I want to visit Grand Master Li Yu, I heard that he is not in the mountains. ”
Yu Yuanzhi nodded: "He and several archmages are not here, and now it is the Daoxuan archmage who is in charge of the trivial affairs on the mountain, but the temperament of the Daoxuan archmage is also indifferent, he likes to paint and enlighten in the painting." Fortunately, the affairs of the world have been divided into the princes of the Eighteen Roads, and the Chongxuan Department is now no big deal, and they are all very idle, and many uncles, uncles, brothers and disciples have taken the opportunity to retreat. What's the matter, you're in trouble?"
Gu Zuo said about the tax and said, "Senior brother, how should this matter be handled?"
Yu Yuanzhi said: "You can deal with it as you want." ”
Gu Zuo was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Yu Yuanzhi chuckled: "I don't know what you think of yourself, but we, the senior brothers and disciples, all regard you as princes, since you are princes, you can deal with it as you want, of course." ”
