Yunmeng Mountain, halfway up the mountain.
"If you follow this road up the mountain, you can go directly to the top of the mountain."
Mr. Yichuan stood by the mountain road, his face flushed, and he especially did not dare to look at Prince Wanli.
According to the rules of the Guigu sect, the disciple stopped halfway up the mountain, and his task of leading the way was over.
"snort!"
Prince Wanli passed by him and snorted coldly.
At present, Ming Dynasty still had a chance, and Wanli looked at Guiguzi's face, so he didn't care about Yichuan.
"Be careful, Mr. Jin, the secret formation on the top of the mountain is probably not trivial." Yan Yuan reminded.
"Um."
Fan Li nodded noncommittally.
Compared to the secret formation on the top of the mountain, Guiguzi's performance just now made him more curious.
Fan Li thought while climbing the mountain, why did Guiguzi have such a positive attitude?
He was originally an expert hermit. Could it be that he had changed his temper and was anxious to join the world again?
"Hey! What are you thinking about?"
Along the way, Lu Fubao focused all his attention on Fan Li.
Seeing him looking deep in thought, Lu Fubao couldn't help but ask.
"Is it possible..." Fan Li whispered: "Guiguzi is eager to leave Yunmeng Mountain?"
"How is that possible?" Lu Fubao shook his head without hesitation. "I am a master from outside the world, how can I care about worldly power?"
"But he was very active just now, right?"
After hearing what Fan Li said, Lu Fubao also fell silent.
"like……"
"seem……"
"A bit...???"
"wrong!"
Lu Fubao thought of something and shook his head firmly.
"Yunmeng Mountain is Guiguzi's dojo, not a prison cell. If he wants to leave, he can just walk out. Why sit on the top of the mountain and show off?"
"With Guigu's lineage's status in Confucianism and Taoism, which dynasty in the world wouldn't want to recruit him?"
After Lu Fubao finished speaking, he looked at Fan Li proudly.
Fan Li had a strange expression on his face: "Say what you just said again!?"
"Ah?" Lu Fubao felt guilty: "Did I say something wrong? Don't be angry."
"I'm not angry, but you just said 'cell'?"
Fan Li was a little excited and tried hard to suppress his voice.
"Is it possible that Yunmeng Mountain is Guiguzi's cell? He wants to leave, but he can't do it on his own?"
Fan Li's conjecture was not approved by Lu Fubao.
"How is that possible? Everyone knows that Yunmeng Mountain is Guiguzi's magic weapon dojo. How in the world can there be any reason for him to be trapped by his own magic weapon?"
In her opinion, Fan Li's guess was completely unreasonable.
Fan Li also knew this.
But he always feels like something is wrong?
It seems that I am getting closer to the truth...
The two stopped talking and continued climbing the mountain in silence.
After an unknown amount of time, Fan Li suddenly raised his head!
"I heard that since the first generation of the Guigu lineage refused to be recruited by the Taizu of the Three Kingdoms and was forced to ascend to the immortal world, the successors have been sitting in Yunmeng Mountain. Even if they accept disciples and preach, they have never left?"
"That's right." Lu Fubao smiled and said, "That's why everyone says that Gui Guzi is the most mysterious Confucian cultivator in the world."
Fan Li's expression changed again and again.
Mysterious because I have not been seen by the world for a long time.
Guigu's lineage has been inherited for more than a thousand years, but if it has been a thousand years, Guiguzi has never left Yunmeng Mountain.
Or maybe you can’t even leave the top of the mountain?
Fan Li walked a few steps quickly and came to Zhuge Liang.
"Excuse me, which generation of Guiguzi is this now?" Fan Li whispered.
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Jin, my mentor only teaches and never discusses private matters with my disciples."
"ah?!"
Zhuge Liang was afraid that Fan Li wouldn't believe him, so he continued to explain.
"It's very strange for a mentor to accept a disciple."
"Everyone knows that Guigu is proficient in hundreds of schools of arts, but he only accepts disciples to teach Confucianism and Taoism."
"My mentor once said that Confucianism and Taoism are booming, and those who enter the imperial court should first consider Confucianism cultivators."
"Furthermore, my mentor asked us to leave Yunmeng Mountain immediately after we have achieved success in Confucianism and Taoism, and join the world to seek service for the dynasty."
"According to his mentor, he wants to let the emperors of the world know the name of Guigu through the hands of his disciples."
Does the disciple make his teacher famous?
The more Fan Li listened, the more confused he became.
Gui Guzi is a hermit, but a hermit wants to become famous?
But what about after becoming famous?
What Fan Li saw was that the five kingdoms of Chu, Ming, Wei, Han, Wu and the Pure Land of Fanyin all rushed to Yunmeng Mountain, hoping to recruit Guiguzi.
Could it be that all this is within Guiguzi's plan?
Fan Li smiled bitterly.
As a time traveler, he knew very little about hermits like Gui Guzi.
I can't see through it, I can't figure it out.
Maybe we can get the answer only after meeting Guiguzi?
In Yunmeng Mountain, the jungle is dense and lush all the way.
But when everyone approached the top of the mountain, the scenery completely changed.
"Are we still in Yunmeng Mountain?" Lu Fubao couldn't help but ask.
The green mountains and forests disappeared.
There are no flowers, no singing of birds, no mountain streams.
She raised her head and looked upwards. At the end of the road to the top of the mountain, except for bare rocks, there was not even a withered grass to be seen.
"Haha? Are you afraid? If you are afraid, just retreat, right?" Prince Wanli sneered again and again.
He was in a very bad mood.
He was defeated by the Flame Mountain for a while, and now he is anxious to regain his face.
"Teacher, I have to be the first to break the formation this time no matter what. I want to be the first to see Guiguzi and invite him to join the Ming Dynasty!" Wanli said to Zhang Juzheng beside him.
Zhang Juzheng put his hands into his sleeves, touched something inside, and nodded with a serious expression.
"Prince, don't worry, my Ming Dynasty is the strongest in the world. The world is unified only by my Ming Dynasty."
"I just heard Guiguzi's message. He clearly intends to join the world."
"Da Ming is the best destination for him."
finally.
Everyone has finished walking the mountain road, but they have not reached the top of Yunmeng Mountain.
There is a barrier between everyone and the top of the mountain.
The distance is only about a hundred meters.
The barrier is divided into three colors, chaotically intertwined. Through the barrier, Fan Li could vaguely see a man in black robes, sitting alone in a pavilion on the top of the mountain.
The man in black robe wears a ghost mask, and his face cannot be seen.
But everyone understood that this person must be Gui Guzi!
"Disciple pays homage to the teacher and wishes the teacher a long and immortal life."
Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, and Guo Jia suddenly knelt down on the ground, kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.
Looking at the movements of the three people, the identity of the ghost-faced man in black robe is more and more proved.
Prince Wanli was actually very envious.
This is a good opportunity to get close!
How great would it be if Zhang Juzheng could kowtow a few times for himself?
It's a pity that if you have no reputation or status, you will only lose face if you kneel and kowtow to others for no reason.
"Teacher, is there anything you can do?" Prince Wanli asked in a low voice.
"Prince, please be safe."
As Zhang Juzheng spoke, he shook his sleeves and began to straighten his clothes.
His actions immediately caught Fan Li's attention.
"This kid needs to be rehabilitated!" Fan Li thought to himself.
really.
Zhang Juzheng took out something from his sleeve, which turned out to be a scroll made of bright yellow silk.
Imperial decree! ?
Fan Li secretly thought it was not good.
Zhang Juzheng unfolded the imperial edict, and immediately a dragon energy rose into the sky, accompanied by a loud dragon roar.
"It is destined to be carried by heaven, and it is said by the emperor to make it happen."
"I heard that in Yunmeng Mountain, there is a ghost valley of great sages. They are scholars of heaven and earth. They are good at preaching and receiving karma. They have peaches and plums all over the world. They can be called meritorious enlightenments."
"This is an edict to invite the wise to join the court."
"Feng Taishi, Grand Bachelor of Jianji Palace, received the title of Minister of Rites, entered the cabinet, and became a first-rank official..."
Fan Li's eyelids jumped!
Good guy?
As soon as Zhang Juzheng made a move, it was Wang Zha, the imperial edict written by Emperor Jiajing himself! ?
