"Girl, I just heard some interesting news." Gu Xiuyun raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"what news?"
"It has been twenty-eight years since the white-haired old ape was suppressed by the three great gods in the eyes of the southern sea. In the face of the three great gods, the old ape did not die. It seems that the ninth-level ancestor who has mastered the origin of the road, even if In the world of Tianji Pan, you can also draw on the power of the source to maintain your own cultivation."
This is easy to deduce.
The Realm of Living Beings is similar to the Realm of Demons in that they have no spiritual power. The light of the sun and moon in the sky comes from the gods. If the White-haired Ape King could not absorb the original power, he would have been tortured to death by the Great God Lord. How could he survive to this day?
"Although the old ape is strong, its Taoist realm is far inferior to that of Senior Shenwu," Gu Xiuyun said with a smile, "It can absorb the power of its origin, and Senior Shenwu must be able to do the same."
"Then do we still want to find the Divine Crow Demon King?"
"No need."
Gu Xiuyun shook his head, "The seven God Lords did not mention Senior Shenwu. It can be seen that the gods do not know the existence of Shenwu at all. Why should we go looking for trouble on our own? We should first find a town to settle down and continue to practice Taoism."
The Shenwu Demon King is good at illusions. He can use his ninth-level body to cast illusions and magical powers, and he will be shrouded in endless illusions within a radius of thousands of miles. The life-saving ability of these methods is much better than that of Gu Xiuyun.
What's there to worry about?
The two walked along the street for a while, and suddenly, a tangy fragrance came.
Gu Xiuyun's eyes lit up.
Since the recovery of his five senses and six senses, he has never tasted human food. When he smelled the fragrance, his appetite suddenly surged.
"It smells so good. The realm of living beings is vast and vast, and there are countless delicious foods. Since you are here, you must taste it. Girl, let's go."
Gu Xiuyun pulled the woman in plain clothes into the restaurant on one side.
The restaurant was full of guests. It was dusk and the candlelight was brightly lit. The maids and waiters were walking between the tables, serving plates of exquisite dishes and snacks.
Seeing Gu Xiuyun and Gu Yue, a waiter came up to them with a smile on his face, "Young Master, is Mr. Du's guest?"
"Master Du San?"
Gu Xiuyun glanced at everyone in the hall, and in a flash of his mind, he already knew the cause and effect.
It turns out that this restaurant has been booked by Mr. Du San and he is entertaining guests.
Du Sanye is the governor of Gaoqiu City and is in charge of the city's government affairs. His status is second only to the city lord. In the entire Gaoqiu City, no one dares to offend him except the city lord and General Zhu who is in charge of military affairs.
A hundred days ago, Du Sanye's wife gave birth to a son. The governor had already given birth to six daughters. Now that he finally had a son, he naturally wanted to celebrate grandly and entertain all the elders in the city.
"I do have some friendship with Master Du San."
Gu Xiuyun smiled and nodded, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, passing through the waiter's mind.
"Sir, please come in." The waiter trembled, as if he had known Gu Xiuyun for a long time. He quickly led him into the inner hall and chose two good seats.
The hall was quite spacious, with enough tables for hundreds of banquets. There was a stage set up at the front. The two people's seats happened to be at the front, facing the stage.
Looking at Gu Xiuyun, the guests sitting at the same table all showed doubts.
Mr. Du San has a high status, and the people he invites are all celebrities and elders. In front of him is a young man and a woman, sitting in the front seat. Where did they come from?
"Dare you ask me, little friend?" an old man couldn't help but ask.
"I cherish my life, I am a guest at Mr. Du San's house." Gu Xiuyun said with clasped fists and glanced at the banquet. Every plate of dishes was quite exquisite, and there were many delicious snacks. Everyone who saw it was drooling.
"It turns out to be Mr. Gu. He has a handsome appearance. I think he comes from a famous family——"
Mr. Su was about to say something flattering, but when he saw Gu Xiuyun picking up the chopsticks, picking up a piece of amber fish meat, and chewing it, his face suddenly froze.
At this moment, Master Du San has not yet appeared, and the banquet has not started yet, Gu Xiuyun actually started to use his chopsticks, which is very ignorant of the world.
Is this person really Mr. Du's distinguished guest?
The celebrity Su Lao present here had a gloomy face, but due to his status, he could not open his mouth to hold him accountable.
"As the saying goes, the food is in front of you, and you can't let it down. Don't look away, everyone, use your chopsticks!" Gu Xiuyun picked up another piece of amber fish meat and handed it to Gu Yue's bowl, "Girl, give it a try, the delicacies of the realm of living beings are really good." Extraordinary, full of color, fragrance, and beauty, it is far from comparable to the Invisible Heaven.”
Gu Yue opened her red lips lightly and took a sip. She suddenly felt the fragrance coming to her nostrils. It was indeed a rare delicacy.
Gu Xiuyun grabbed the jug beside him and poured himself a glass. The wine was green in color, reflecting on the silver purple-patterned cup, with faint blue ripples, as if what was in the cup was not wine, but blue sky and blue sea.
Gulu!
The drink was drained in one gulp.
"Good wine, may I ask what the name of this wine is?" Gu Xiuyun asked.
"Yuqiong Haize."
The faces of the celebrities and old people became more and more unkind, and they wanted to turn over the table on the spot, but this was Mr. Du San's banquet, who dared to be so presumptuous?
At this moment, a sound of gongs came from afar.
Mr. Du Sanye, who was wearing a purple brocade robe, walked happily to the front of the restaurant. There were servants setting off firecrackers on both sides, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the battle was very loud.
"Third Master is here!"
"Congratulations, Third Master, on the new baby!"
"I wish the third master a happy family and a happy future."
The guests stood up to congratulate one after another, and the celebrities and elders who were sitting at the same table as Gu Xiuyun also hurriedly walked up.
Mr. Su, who had been talking to Gu Xiuyun before, took out a brown flute and said loudly: "Congratulations to Mr. Du. I just happened to find a coral flute from the Mirror Country. With Mr. Du's handsome appearance, it complements the coral flute. He will definitely be the one in the future." The most outstanding person in Miliang City."
"Thank you Mr. Xu," Mr. Du took the coral flute with a smile, his face full of joy, "Mr. Xu came to congratulate Mr. Du despite his busy schedule. It is already a huge honor. I accept this coral flute. Well-deserved!"
"What Mr. Du San said is really embarrassing," Mr. Su said repeatedly, "Just now during the banquet, I had a very pleasant chat with Mr. Gu Ximing of your mansion. Mr. Gu is eclectic, free and easy. I don't know who he is. , how can you win the favor of Mr. Du San?"
Hearing this, Mr. Su, a celebrity sitting at the same table as Gu Xiuyun, had a sparkle in his eyes.
Mr. Xu's words were obviously compliments, but they were full of sarcasm. Everyone present had worked hard in the officialdom. Who couldn't hear it?
"Cherish your life?" Mr. Du San was confused.
"Master Du San doesn't know this person?"
The celebrities and seniors turned around and saw two figures sitting at the banquet, a man and a woman. At this moment, all the guests in the hall had walked out of the restaurant, and only the two of them were still sitting on the seats, which was extremely eye-catching.
Mr. Du Sanye frowned slightly, and was about to step forward to question, when he suddenly felt an invisible force pouring into the depths of his mind.
In an instant, many scenes appeared in his mind, all of which were scenes of Gu Xiuyun guiding him to join the officialdom and even rise to prominence. It was vaguely as if the two had known each other for ten years.
"How come I don't know Mr. Gu?" Mr. Du's doubts disappeared from his face, "Speaking of which, I have known Mr. Gu for more than ten years. Without his help, Du would not have reached such a high position today. "
"oh?"
Everyone looked shocked.
The young man who was devouring his food at the wine table was able to receive such praise from Master Du San. Could it be that he was truly an astonishing talent?
Just as he was talking, a mournful sound came from outside the restaurant, accompanied by the woman's screams.
Mr. Du Sanye frowned slightly and looked out the door.
Who is so bold as to cause a funeral outside the governor's 100-day banquet?
In the distance, a procession clad in silk clothes approached. The leader was sitting on a tall horse with a sneer on his face, "Du Zhiqiu, I heard that you have a son, so I came here to celebrate."
"Zhu Qiong!"
Du Sanye's eyes suddenly turned cold.
The celebrities and seniors in the restaurant all closed their mouths and did not dare to say a word.
Zhu Qiong is the guard general of Gaoqiu City. He and Du Sanye are in charge of the army and government affairs respectively. The two sides have always been at odds with each other. Today, Du Sanye hosted a banquet, but Zhu Qiong led a group of people to play mourning music, making it clear that he wanted to undermine him. Both sides They are all in power in Gaoqiu City, and no one dares to offend them.
"I don't want to disturb Mr. Du's interest, but unfortunately I just received the news not long ago that the sixth prince passed away. The king was grieving and ordered that all restaurants, gourmet bars and stages in the city of Miliang be closed and not allowed to be opened within seven days. And everyone must be humble and mourn to show their loyalty.”
"When did it happen? Why didn't Du know about it?" Master Du San raised his eyebrows.
"An hour ago, I received a letter from the Flying Eagle from the Imperial City," Zhu Qiong crossed his arms, "As for the imperial edict, it should arrive tomorrow."
"Zhu Qiong!"
Anger flashed in Du Sanye's eyes.
The imperial edict will only arrive tomorrow. General Zhu rushed over in a hurry and made it clear that he was going to mess with him. Who could bear it?
"What? Could it be that Mr. Du is resentful and dissatisfied with the Lord's order?" Zhu Qiong's lips curled up slightly, "We are eating the King's salary and worrying about the King. The King is grieving. As a minister, we naturally have to take the lead. When I come here this time, I also brought a lot of mourning clothes, please come and put them on for the Governor."
The four sergeants walked up to Master Du San with white plain clothes in their hands and said solemnly: "Congratulations to the Governor on the birth of your son. I wish you happiness every year and happiness every year."
Everyone in the restaurant turned blue when they heard this.
Holding mourning clothes to congratulate Mr. Du, it still happens every year and every year. This shame would make anyone vomit blood in anger.
However, Mr. Du Sanye is worthy of being a influential figure in the officialdom. The governor of Gaoqiu City took a deep breath, took the mourning clothes, put it on his body, and knelt towards the north, "Du Zhiqiu suddenly heard the bad news, and was filled with grief. He just I pray that the holy dragon will be healthy, and that the lower officials will be willing to wear grass and cloth, and observe filial piety for the sixth prince for seven or forty-nine days, so as to fulfill his heart as a minister."
After kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, Mr. Du turned to look at Zhu Qiong and said, "Master Zhu, I heard that next month is the day when your daughter will leave the cabinet. Do you mind if Du disturbs her?"
Zhu Qiong's face turned pale and pale. After holding it in for a long time, he hummed: "I am about to perform official duties. All restaurants, hook-up tile shops, and brothels and boats will be closed before midnight tonight. Let's start here."
As he said that, a group of soldiers rushed into the restaurant and smashed it everywhere. They were not ordered to close the restaurant, but they were clearly destroying Mr. Du's place.
The guests in the hall had already gathered outside the door, leaving only Gu Xiuyun and Gu Yue still sitting at the table, tasting the delicious food, which looked particularly eye-catching.
"How brave you are. The Sixth Prince is mourning, and you still dare to eat and drink here." A soldier stabbed him with a spear, pointing the gun head squarely at Gu Xiuyun's throat.
If this shot hits a mortal, he will definitely die.
The celebrity Su Lao outside the door raised his voice in anger, but he didn't dare to stop him. The soldiers under General Zhu's command were all fierce people, and they killed without blinking an eye. Who dared to provoke them?
What's more, the other party also has the banner of being the leader of the country. The two people in the hall didn't know what to do and bumped into the muzzle of the gun. I can only say that they deserved it.
Just as the elders were sighing, Gu Xiuyun's green shirt moved, and his invisible strength directly flew away the soldiers behind him.
"Is the true energy coming out?"
"An innate master?"
The faces of the celebrities and elders were all shocked. General Zhu Shou, who was riding a high horse outside the restaurant, changed his expression greatly. His right hand unconsciously touched the long knife on the side.
Although there are many gods in the realm of living beings, they rarely interfere in the struggles of mortals.
After all, the power of gods comes from the worship of faith. At the same time, the resentment of mortals will also make them miserable. Intervening in mortal battles will inevitably arouse the resentment of mortals, so gods will almost never have any interaction with mortals.
Except for guarding the outer city, those divine kings and divine envoys seldom enter the city. The divine master is even more aloof. Only such existences can be seen in the gaps of Shenzhu Mountain. The other divine masters are not even willing to leave the divine realm.
Therefore, the battles in the realm of living beings are completely dominated by secular mortals, while warriors occupy a very high position.
After tens of millions of years of evolution, the martial arts in the world of Tianjipan are superior to those of Wuxiangtian. When warriors reach the extreme, they can go further, break through the limitations of muscles and veins, and reach the innate state of releasing true energy.
These masters are no less than practitioners in the Kai Mai realm, and the strongest among them can even compete with the sixth level of Kai Mai.
Of course, to reach such a situation in a secular body, you cannot rely entirely on yourself. The flesh and blood of demons is also a great tonic for mortals. If you can eat it for a long time, you can not only prolong your life, but also double your strength and vigor.
The strongest innate warrior in the city of Liang has a lifespan of nearly three hundred, and his strength has already reached the fourth level of Kai Mai. He swallowed a complete Douxiao realm monster.
"Innate master, there is actually an innate master in Gaoqiu City?" Zhu Qiong broke out in cold sweat from behind.
The rules of the officialdom have no restrictions on the innate masters. These figures are comparable to the gods in the Kai Pulse Realm. They come and go like the wind, and tens of thousands of troops cannot intercept them. If the gods do not interfere, they are the most terrifying existence in the world.
Master Du San made a sound in his throat, feeling confused and confused. The Gu Xiuyun in his memory was clearly an elegant scholar, how could he become an innate master again?
