Chapter 52: The Seventeenth Heaven
Qian He groaned: "Lord Gu doesn't know, the Demon Cave in my Anlu County is different from other places, and I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult to go to the Demon Cave this time. ”
"Oh, I don't know what's the difference?"
"The demon caves in most states and counties are no more than fifty miles away from the city, although the demon caves in Anlu County are not more than fifty miles, but they are in the water. ”
"In the water?" Gu Changqing asked, "but under the Yangtze River?"
Qian He nodded and said: "That's right, the demon cave in Anlu County is under the Yangtze River, and the demon cave in the water can be said to be rare in the entire Ming Dynasty, so the assessment of the Dao Gong Division in Anlu County is generally held in other counties, and rarely in their own county." ”
"Even in the water, according to our Taoist priest's spells, it should be no different from on land, right?"
Qian He sighed and said: "Lord Gu doesn't know, the demon cave in Anlu County has another name, for the seventeenth heaven, legend has it that three hundred years ago, a big demon mana in it reached the sky, once escaped, although it was suppressed later, but it has learned many wonderful methods in the hands of our Taoist priests, the most powerful of which is the Optimus Technique." ”
"Optimism?"
This technique Gu Changqing has heard of, this is a second-grade spell, according to legend, only the head of the Wanfu Mao family can master, as the name suggests, once this technique is used, it will be the sky, the wind and clouds change color, and it is extremely powerful.
However, when Gu Changqing heard the four words of the Seventeen Heavens, he suddenly remembered that the Thirty-Three Heavens mentioned by Gao Xiaose at the beginning were the Taoist Infinite Heavenly Venerables, and they were also on the coast of the East China Sea, could there be any connection between the two?
Qian He continued: "I believe that Lord Gu has also heard of the Thirty-Three Heavens, right?"
Sure enough, Gu Changqing subconsciously felt that it was not good.
"That's the dojo of the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, I naturally know it. ”
"The Thirty-Three Heavens are located on the coast of the East China Sea, and they are also in the water, and there are ten thousand thunderbolts in them, and those who are idle cannot enter, and what supports the Thirty-Three Heavens is this two-grade spell Qingtian Technique. ”
Gu Changqing said: "In other words, the seventeen heavens are also like the thirty-three heavens, and there are ten thousand thunderbolts in them?"
Qian He nodded and said, "Yes, so I said that this trip will be extremely difficult." ”
"Is there a way to crack it?"
"Don't hide it from Lord Gu, no one has entered the demon cave in my Anlu County for more than a hundred years, and the last time was more than one hundred and forty years ago, a Song man went in, but he never came out. ”
Gu Changqing said: "But, in order to save General Ren and those archmages, we have to go, don't we?"
Hearing these three words of General Ren, Qian He suddenly remembered something, and was about to ask, but he held back.
"Biyu grass is cold by nature, and it belongs to thunder, except for the demon cave here, it is only found in the thirty-three heavens. ”
The Biyu Grass is the key to awakening Ren Yi and the Archmage, which Gu Changqing must obtain.
Gu Changqing pondered for a moment, and then said, "Master Qian doesn't have to go, I'll bring my own men." ”
When Qian He heard this, he raised his head and showed a gloomy face: "Does Lord Gu think that I am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"
"That's not what Xia Guan meant. ”
"General Ren and those archmages are also asleep to protect De'an Mansion, and I, as the prefect, naturally want to save them, even if I risk my life, I will not hesitate to do so. ”
"But ......"
"Master Gu doesn't need to say much, go back and prepare immediately, we will leave early tomorrow morning. ”
Hearing the eviction order, Gu Changqing didn't say anything anymore, and retreated after making a move.
Qian He is indeed a person with a charismatic personality, no wonder he has gone from a seventh-rank magistrate to a fourth-grade prefect in just seven years, this is his ability, and he has to be admired by Gu Changqing.
After returning to the mansion, Gu Changqing asked Zhuge Ming to lead him to see Ren Yi.
At this time, Ren Yi was completely asleep like those archmages, their breath seemed to be nothing, as if their lives were hanging by a thread, but the mana in the Dao urn was extremely abundant, and the body seemed to be linked to the heaven and earth where they were located, and the invisible mana between heaven and earth was slowly penetrating into their dantian, maintaining vitality.
Gu Changqing suddenly felt that their state at this time was even better than the state they were in when they were awake, if it was more accurate, they had reached the state of unity between heaven and man at this time.
In Taoism, there are only a handful of people who can reach the state of unity between heaven and man, which is a state of mystery and mystery, and once you enter this state, you will practice for a thousand miles.
If you wake them up, I'm afraid they will blame them!
Gu Changqing shook his head, returned to the room, and told Zhuge Ming to call Zhao Situ.
Zhao Situ walked in with a cynical look, without even knocking on the door, holding a bundle of straw in his hand, as if he was weaving something.
Gu Changqing gave Zhuge Ming a look, and he immediately understood and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Situ.
Zhao Situ smiled, sat down, and said without raising his head: "Your Excellency, you are only afraid that you are looking for my old Zhao to ask for something, right?"
Gu Changqing could hear a hint of sarcasm and pride in his voice, but he didn't take it seriously.
With Zhao Situ's identity, he does have this capital, not to mention that Gu Changqing still asks for him.
"Does Elder Zhao know about the Seventeenth Heavens?"
"The demon cave in Anlu County, right?"
Gu Changqing was overjoyed in his heart, he really knew.
"Since Elder Zhao knows, then I won't talk nonsense, I want to ask you, is there any way to enter the Seventeenth Heaven?"
Zhao Situ said while weaving the things in his hands: "There is definitely no way to sit like you." ”
Zhuge Ming couldn't listen to it on the side, and hurriedly said: "Lao Zhao, don't sell Guanzi, just say whatever you want, your attitude is weird." ”
Zhao Situ raised his head and glared at Zhuge Ming, and said to Gu Changqing: "Have you seen the things in my hand?"
Gu Changqing didn't answer, but Zhuge Ming spoke: "See, isn't it just a bundle of straw?"
Zhao Situ retorted: "This is not an ordinary straw, De'an Mansion is so full of grass and trees, where do the people dare to go out to farm, these are still I spent a lot of effort to get." ”
Zhuge Ming said disdainfully: "What's the use of a bundle of straw?"
Zhao Situ said: "Don't disagree with you if you say you're ignorant, this straw is very useful, have you seen the cloth?"
"Don't be kidding, who hasn't seen the lily clothes, don't ordinary people wear the lily clothes on rainy days?"
Zhao Situ nodded and said, "That's right, this straw can be used to make clothes." ”
Zhuge Ming was a little speechless: "Lingyi is only useful for ordinary people, we Taoist priests have mana, as long as we use mana to protect our bodies, even if we walk in the rain, we will not get a drop of water." ”
Zhao Situ shook his head and said, "It's really playing the piano to the cow." ”
"You!"
Zhuge Mingqi trembled, and he could only look at Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing waved his hand and said, "Then does Elder Zhao know how to make this robe?"
"Your Excellency, your eyes aren't like those of the Sect Master, are they?"
"Lao Zhao, what are you talking about?"
Zhao Situ said: "You ask your honor!"
Zhuge Ming didn't understand what Zhao Situ and Zun were talking about at all, playing dumb riddles?
However, Gu Changqing understood Zhao Situ's words.
Gu Changqing asked, "How many pieces of robes can Elder Zhao make in a short period of time?"
"I can do ten pieces by tomorrow, and if I give one more day, I can do thirty pieces. ”
"Thirty pieces, that's about the same!"
Gu Changqing said to Zhuge Ming: "You immediately go to Lord Qian's mansion and tell him that the trip to the Demon Cave will be postponed for one day, and say that I have found a way to completely enter the Demon Cave." ”
After speaking, Gu Changqing set his eyes on the straw in Zhao Situ's hand.
