As soon as Zhao Ran walked outside the Shence Gate, he received the flying talisman from Dongfang Li, and after a day of treatment, the spirit of Old Man Gu's master and apprentice had recovered. Dongfang Li said that this time he finally figured out the real name of the other party, and the surname "Gu" and the name "Kexue", "Gu Kexue" and "Gu Kexue" are all his pseudonyms.

Zhao Ran was stunned, and then remembered that in the cultivation certificate issued a few days ago, there was once a monk of "Gu Kexue", but he didn't expect it to be him. No wonder he didn't go to redeem the prize later, nor did he buy a lottery ticket, and he made trouble for a long time, and he was locked in the prison of Xuantan Palace by himself, this is really ...... It's hard to put into words......

Dongfang Li said that Gu Kexue agreed to confess everything he knew and provided sufficient evidence to confirm his confession, but there was a precondition that he wanted to meet Zhao Ran.

The secret stronghold of the East Pole Pavilion outside the Shuibo Gate has expanded a lot, and through the news revealed by Zhao Ran, Wei Chaozong took down the two courtyards in the west, spending a total of more than eighty taels of silver, and now the price has more than doubled.

Dongfang Li also represented the Sanqing Pavilion to coil down a large courtyard adjacent to the south, and after connecting with the courtyard of the Dongji Pavilion, it became a large courtyard covering an area of nearly eight acres.

Before buying the land, Dongfang Li and Wei Chaozong had the idea of making a small profit, but after the purchase, they were reluctant to sell it, to be honest, they made more than 100 taels of silver by speculating on the land, which was really unsightly for the two pavilions, so they simply took advantage of this to renovate it.

After the renovation, in the middle of the two open yards, a rockery was built together to distinguish the plots, and a few large stones in the river were made to decorate them, which was very interesting.

Dongfang Li and Wei Chaozong both stood at the foot of the rockery, and when they saw Zhao Ran coming, they signaled to the rockery, which was only two or three zhang high, so Zhao Ran climbed up.

Gu Kexue stood on the top of the rockery, looking at the fishing fire by the river on the north side of the courtyard wall, and his face was full of nostalgia.

Zhao Ran walked up to him, put his hand behind him, watched him for a while, and then asked, "I heard that Senior Gu wants to see me?"

Gu Kexue turned his head: "I don't dare to call myself a senior, I want to see Abbot Zhao, I want to thank the abbot for saving his life, if there is no abbot to help, Gu and a few disciples are no longer alive at this moment." ”

Zhao Ran smiled and said bluntly without subtlety: "It's not necessary to thank me, I want to clear the tumor of Xiu'an to save you, if Senior Gu is really grateful, I will fully cooperate with the questions of the two pavilions." ”

Gu Kexue nodded and said, "Yes, but I still want to talk to you." ”

"Senior Gu, please speak. ”

"If I fully cooperate with the two pavilions, can you give me and my disciples a chance?"

"What chance?"

"In the past, I didn't have a choice, and my disciples didn't have a choice, but from now on, I want to be a good person, and the Great Dao doesn't expect it, but my disciples and I want to spend the rest of our lives innocently. ”

Zhao Ran looked at the white-haired old man Gu in front of him, he was a little distracted for a while, his eyes looked at the river outside the wall, he was stunned for a moment, and chuckled: "Do you want to be a good person......?"

Gu Kexue nodded and said, "The old man told them, and they said that this matter is up to you." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Ran was stunned again, he really didn't play cards according to the routine. The joke didn't work, Zhao Ran couldn't help but ask: "Who said that? Senior Brother Li and Senior Brother Wei?"

Gu Kexue shook his head: "No, they said it was Wutian Master and Zhao Zhenren." ”

Zhao Ran didn't know what to say for a while, Wu Tianshi and Zhao Zhenren actually left this kind of thing to themselves to make decisions?

Seeing that Zhao Ran didn't answer, Gu Kexue took out a hard-shell folded book and gave it to Zhao Ran: "Abbot Zhao, this is the cultivation certificate you issued to the old decay, when the certificate was issued, Daoist Pei once said that in the future, those who have a certificate, no matter where they are, will enjoy the right to be protected by the Daomen, as long as they can do their best, the Daomen will give the certificate holder the master." ”

Zhao Ran said: "If I knew that you were Gu Kexue, I wouldn't have issued you a certificate." And the name on this certificate is Gu Kexue. ”

"In the future, there is no Gu Kexue to learn, and there is no Gu Kexue, Abbot Zhao, and the old man wants to live with his disciples......"

Zhao Ran retreated to the side of the rockery and signaled to Dongfang Li and Wei Chaozong to inquire, both of them heard it very clearly, and nodded to Zhao Ran together, indicating that Zhao Ran decided not to give Gu Kexue a chance.

Zhao Ran sighed, turned his head and said, "Cooperate well with the two pavilions to make up for your previous mistakes." You will henceforth be called Gokscher. ”

After speaking, Zhao Ran turned around and went down the rockery.

Zhao Ran followed Dongfang Li and Wei Chaozong out of the garden, Gu Kexue was still motionless, staring blankly in the direction he left.

Wu Jia and Ding Si came up and walked behind him, wanting to take him away, Gu Kexue's knees weakened, and he knelt down in the direction where Zhao Ran's figure disappeared, and knocked his head three times.

Zhao Ran, Dongfang Li, and Wei Chaozong walked in the newly opened courtyard, and Zhao Ran said with a smile: "This industry is very good, and Sanqing Pavilion and Dongji Pavilion will definitely thank the two senior brothers in the future." ”

Wei Chaozong asked: "The location of the bridge should not be here......, right? Landscape belt?"

Zhao Ran nodded: "This area along the river will be planted with trees and flowers, and the road of bluestone floor tiles will meander in the flowers and grasses in the future. ”

After chatting a few words, Zhao Ran asked: "Two senior brothers, now that Gu Kexue has been brought into the case, he is the most critical witness, with his cooperation, I think we can find out all the things about Xiu'an." But it must be fast, Shangsangong has already begun to jump over the wall. ”

So he briefly told about the incident of the Xuantan Palace being attacked by monks today, and Dongfang Li and Wei Chaozong both pondered.

Zhao Ran said again: "Gu Kexue is here, junior brother, I can only solemnly remind the two senior brothers, beware of going to the third palace to work hard." My senior brother Luo is now in Baoyue Villa, and there are many spiritual cultivators gathered there, if the two senior brothers need it, a flying talisman, Baoyue Villa will definitely allocate manpower to help. ”

Dongfang Li said: "Don't worry, we don't have to worry here, Elder Zhuo in my pavilion and Elder Qiu of the East Pole Pavilion are rushing over from Lushan, as soon as the two of them arrive tonight, we will escort Gu Kexue Master and Apprentice, Chunfeng and Guanyun and others to the True Master Hall. After the True Master Hall decides, you can officially ask the three palaces for guilt. ”

"That's good. The only thing to worry about is the destruction of the evidence in advance in the third house. ”

"It can't be destroyed, it's enough to have Gu Kexue, before you came, Gu Kexue had already briefly said some situations, Xiu'an is under his full control, and the upper third palace can't be destroyed or destroyed. ”

Before Zhao Ran left, Wei Chaozong said: "We are also very worried about Zhi Ran's safety, we have already discussed it just now, my third sister and Wu Jia and Ding Si stayed, Zhao Ran has any needs, just tell them." ”

Zhao Ran smiled: "Thank you Senior Brother Wei, of course Senior Sister Wei can stay, it just so happens that she is not making trouble all day long to fight with my third senior brother? ”

Wei Chaozong laughed: "Zhiran's proposal, I agree with both hands! The third sister lost last time, and she has never forgotten it, and she still refuses to accept it, and the quarrel makes me have a headache, so I simply let her quarrel with Senior Brother Luo." ”
