Chapter Twenty-Four: Return to Lishui

Gu Zuo looked at the towering snow-capped mountains in front of him, and all kinds of tastes came to his heart for a while. When he left five years ago, he had vowed never to come to this heartbroken Yeosu County again, but today he broke his promise and came back, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Of course, Gu Zuo returned to Lishui County today, which was very different from the last time, surrounded by the escort team of the Lishui Imperial Law Division - among them was a certain law enforcement monk who beat him in the public court back then, and Wang Ruhu, who was indifferent to him back then, was by his side at the moment, looking respectful, if it wasn't for Gu Zuo to stop him, he would have personally come over to lead the horse just now.

Seeing Gu Zuo's eyes looking at the Great Snow Mountain, as if he was in a trance, Wang Ruhu introduced with a smile: "The Great Snow Mountain is the holy land of my Lishui Sect, and the three lords of the country are all practicing on the mountain, even if we are the own monks of the Lishui Sect, we must not go up the mountain easily." But the owner of the Gu Pavilion is different, the three lords have already prepared a banquet on the mountain and made a special trip to receive your distinguished guest. The scenery on the mountain is extremely magnificent, and the owner of the Gu Pavilion will know it when he goes up the mountain. ”

The team was mighty, attracting the attention of a large number of Lishui Zhao monks along the way, and Gu Zuo heard a lot of discussions: "This is the owner of the Huaixian Pavilion, Gu Zuo, the word Huaixian." ”

Someone immediately stopped: "The name of the Gu Pavilion Master is also called by you at will, shut up quickly, don't cause trouble." ”

Someone else praised: "I deliberately flipped through last year's "Hundred Schools", Huaixian Pavilion ranked fifty-first, only after the Tang Gate, such a great sect master, I didn't expect to be so young." ”

Someone next to him sneered: "Fifty-one, are you afraid that you are the master who doesn't listen to anything outside the window? In April this year, the Chongxuan Department sealed the eighteen sects in the world, this is the eighteenth princes, and the three lords of our Lishui faction are on a par with each other, and they are all the top eighteen!"

"Compared with us, who is in front and who is behind?"

"Of course, we are in the front, and the Huaixian Pavilion is in the back. ”

"Brother, it's good that you have Lishui in your heart, but you can't open your mouth to talk nonsense, people have two edicts and eight states, and the territory is bigger than ours! Oh, and half of the Yongchang edict......"

"Do they have a baby? only one, right?"

"Other people's mines are bigger than ours!"

"Pavilion Master Gu hasn't entered the Golden Pill yet, has he?"

"People can mobilize hundreds of Jindan!"

"Hundreds? That's what you ......."

In the midst of discussion, the team arrived at the foot of the Snow Mountain, and the three ladies had already been waiting for a long time.

Gu Zuo stepped forward and arched his hand: "Lishui Zhao is so gracious, Gu is really ashamed." came alone, originally I didn't want to alarm the third lady too much. ”

The third lady said: "You and I are allies, why should Pavilion Master Gu be so polite? ”

From the foot of the mountain upwards, through the spruce flat, the glacier valley, under the sun's rays, the spruce flat trees are so green as if they are about to drip oil, in the glacier valley, large ice crystals glow with blue luster, the scenery is extremely magnificent.

Crossing the spruce flat and glacial valley, there was already a chill on my body, and when I reached the top, I saw a layer of white mist hanging over my head, so dense that I couldn't see through it.

At the invitation of the third lady, Gu Zuo stepped upward, his body passed through the white mist, and suddenly it seemed to have changed the world, stepping on the white mist under his feet in the heavy snow, just like a jade belt circulating, like climbing the steps to the sky.

The snowflakes were sprinkled but not biting, only the coolness soaked the heart and spleen, in this coolness, Gu Zuo followed the three ladies to a stone pavilion on the top of the peak.

There are two female cultivators waiting by the pavilion, the elder is the big country lord Hua Da Niang, and the blessed one is Xue Erniang, the two of them are the two major Yuan Babies of the Lishui School who only hear their names but do not see them in the cultivation world.

Aunt Hua stretched out her hand to invite Gu Zuo to the table, so the four of them sat in the pavilion, and outside the pavilion were more than ten Jindan monks with professional functions, such as Wanhe Sanren and Wang Ruhu, each standing in the wind and snow, standing solemnly and waiting.

If it was a card and gambling table, Gu Zuo would definitely turn around and leave, this kind of gambling game of "Sanniang's godson" would never be pleased, but at this moment, Gu Zuo secretly called himself cool - between the top and bottom, the hierarchy is strict, this is the bearing of the cultivation sect.

It's a pity that he can only envy it. Since the Huaixian Pavilion recruited butchers, Cheng Shanhu and others, he, the owner of the pavilion, has been struggling at the bottom of the museum's cultivation all the year round, and he really has no dignity at all.

Today's Huaixian Pavilion is even more of a hodgepodge, there are all kinds of strange immortals, and he, the owner of the hall, is still mixed in the bottom of the cultivation, safe and stable to this day, and can still say a word, it is also a miracle.

Pick up the wine glass, drink three glasses in a row with the three lords, and go straight to the point.

I only heard Aunt Hua say: "Erniang and I rarely go down the mountain, and the affairs of the country depend on Sanniang to deal with them, I don't want to go to Yizhou this time, but I encountered such a thing - the owner of the Gu Pavilion has heard about it, right?"

Gu Zuo nodded: "Lord Sun has been wronged." ”

Xue Erniang said: "Xian Yu is absurd and unreasonable to this person, and he is not worthy of the position! ”

Gu Zuo continued to nod in agreement.

Aunt Hua said again: "The Lishui faction has already sent a letter to the Chongxuan Department and the Son of Heaven, hoping to rectify Xian Yuxiang, the upper part will be dismissed and investigated, the middle will be demoted and removed, and the lower will bow his head and apologize, just waiting for a reply." ”

Xue Erniang said again: "The political hall is exempted from taxes for three years, but Xian Yuxiang took the opportunity to extort excessively, it is really damned, the edict of Lishui also has a book, as long as this silverfish is investigated, this year's tax will be handed over immediately." If the owner of the Gu Pavilion does not come to Lishui, we will also go to Nanwuzhou, at this time, it is time to join the same breath, and I also hope that the owner of the Gu Pavilion will also be on the book. ”

The third lady said on the side: "The Gu Pavilion Master is in Chang'an, and Master Li of the Chongxuan Department also attaches great importance to the Gu Pavilion Master, and our Lishui faction's card tickets are also handled because of the face of the Gu Pavilion Master." ”

Xue Erniang said: "In this way, I can rest assured, thank you Gu Pavilion Master for maintaining it in many ways." ”

Aunt Hua smiled and nodded.

The three lords of the country have been talking for a long time, but Gu Zuo's response is becoming less and less, and there is a tendency for the pavilion to be cold. Seeing this, Xue Erniang said: "Pavilion Master Gu seems to have other plans, can you speak out and listen to it, and see what strength my Lishui faction can muster?"

Gu Zuo asked, "Aside from what the three lords just said, I don't know what else to prepare?"

The three country lords glanced at each other, and Xue Erniang opened his mouth and asked, "What do you have to say, although Pavilion Master Gu said it clearly." ”

Gu Zuo pondered for a moment and said, "Before I came, I had issued an edict that the entire Southern Wu Army would be mobilized in preparation for the big war, I don't know when your faction will start?"

At first hearing this, the three lords were stunned, and they were silent for a long time, and the Jindan monks of the Lishui Sect who were standing outside the pavilion were also in a daze, staring at Gu Zuo in disbelief, all of them shocked.

Is this about to start a war? Isn't the owner of the Huaixian Pavilion crazy?

Inside and outside the pavilion, there was no one able to say a word, and it was extremely silent in the heavy snow.
