Gu Xu never expected that two lofty saints would argue in front of him over such a trivial matter as tea and wine.
The two of them talk to each other, and no one wants to be at a disadvantage.
Gu Xu sat aside and listened silently.
After a while, he found an opportunity and said apologetically to Zhao Changying, Duke of Yan: "Sorry, Duke, I have been in poor health since I was a child and cannot drink strong liquor..."
Duke Yan looked at him from head to toe, then laughed and said: "Hey, indeed. You are quite handsome, but you are really too thin. Remember to eat more meat when you go back. People like you Young people will marry, take concubines, and carry on the family line in the future, so you need to be stronger."
At this point, he paused for two seconds and then continued: "It happened that someone recently gave me some Polygonatum japonica. I don't need it. I will ask someone to send it to your residence later to help you replenish your body."
Gu Xu originally wanted to say something polite, but when he saw the domineering look on Yan Guogong Zhao Changying's face that could not be refused, he had to nod his head and said: "Thank you very much, Lord Guo!"
Zhao Changying smiled and nodded, satisfied with his attitude.
At the same time, Luo Chuan cleared his throat and brought the topic back on track: "Old Zhao, how was your battle in Qingzhou Mansion a few days ago?"
Zhao Changying glanced at Gu Xu but did not speak immediately.
"Gu Xu is also a witness to this incident. We don't have to hide it from him." Luo Chuan smiled lightly.
Zhao Changying shook his head, sighed and said: "The 'Third Fierce God'... or that old guy from Kongxuan Sanren. He is not good at anything else, but his escape skills are the best in the world. I searched all over Qingzhou Mansion and couldn't find him. It was as if he had evaporated from this world.
“But as a contemporary saint of Da Qi, it would be too shameful if I returned without success.
"So I went to Yishan again and had a fight with the snow girl. I have to say that the snow girl was really beautiful - rather than a female ghost, she was more like a fairy who descended to earth. Seeing her face , I was a little reluctant to do anything to her.
"In the end, we both lost. She returned to the ice cave, set up a barrier, and entered a dormant state. One-third of the meridians in my body were also frozen by her ice and snow spells, making it difficult for me to function normally.
"After that, I originally planned to go back to Youzhou to recuperate, but then I thought that the Luoshui Conference was about to be held, so I decided to come to the capital."
Hearing his words, Luo Chuan frowned slightly: "Xue Nu is so strong? Can she even tie you? In my impression, she barely achieved saint-level strength about two months ago."
"It's not that she is too strong, it's that you overestimated my strength." Yan Guogong Zhao Changying laughed at himself and drank the wine in the bowl again. "To tell you the truth, when I advance to the seventh realm , my cultivation has never broken through again. Among the five saints in Daqi, I don’t know who is the strongest, but the weakest one must be me."
"Old Zhao, you are too humble."
"This is a fact," Zhao Changying wiped his beard stained with wine with his hand, "By the way, Luochuan, do you want to take this opportunity to deal with the Snow Girl once and for all? She is in a weak stage now, is The best time to deal with her.
"I don't understand the formation and can't break her barrier, but I believe that your exorcist department must have talents who can break the formation. Completely destroying a ferocious god-level ghost is a great achievement!"
Gu Xu sat up straight and listened intently.
Luo Chuan's eyes suddenly became extremely deep, as if he saw the distant future through the endless river of time.
He pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "No need for the moment. A ghost like the Snow Girl who can save people in disasters is rare in a hundred years. It would be a pity to kill her. It would be better to keep her for a while, maybe after the long night falls It can still come in handy.”
Duke Yan smiled and said, "Then I'll listen to you. Anyway, killing ghosts is the business of your exorcism department. If something goes wrong, it's not my turn to take responsibility."
Then he poured himself another bowl of wine and continued: "Luochuan, you have always claimed to have insight into everything in the world. Recently, some strange prophecies have appeared in the Daqi Dynasty, such as 'There is an emperor's spirit in the Northeast', such as' The four barbarians gather in the Dragon Dou Ye, and when the sun rises, fire dominates. For example, "the palace is ablaze with fire, and wolves howl on the border; after four or seven are counted, the sun and the moon lose light"... Do you know who did it? I doubt it. Someone is trying to harm me."
"Prophecy" means "prophecy" and "sign".
Prophecies refer to cryptic words made by prophecies that will be fulfilled in the future.
In the history of Gu Xu's previous life, prophecies were often used in political struggles, such as the famous "Great Chu rises, King Chen Sheng", such as "Profess Anhan Gongmang to be emperor", such as "Liu Xiu sent troops to arrest him, but he failed to do so." "Maojin cultivates virtue and becomes the emperor", such as "One eye of the stone man Mo Dao provokes the rebellion of the Yellow River"... They are all powerful weapons used by rulers or those seeking power to create public opinion and win people's hearts.
However, the Great Wilderness is a world where practitioners and mysterious magic exist.
This undoubtedly means that the prophecies in this world may be made up, or they may be true.
Gu Xu knew that Youzhou was located northeast of Luojing City.
As the oldest clan, the Youzhou Zhao family has a longer history than the Daqi Dynasty.
When the human race first created the method of cultivation, the Zhao family already existed in the wilderness. They first believed in a god called "Fire God", and later changed to believe in God.
The two prophecies spoken by Zhao Changying, Duke of Yan State, are that "there is the spirit of the emperor in the northeast" and "fire is the main force when the sun rises", which are almost completely consistent with the situation of the Zhao family in Youzhou.
In addition, "four-seven" means "twenty-eight".
Emperor Tianxing was the 28th emperor of the Daqi Dynasty.
"When the four and seven are counted, the sun and the moon have no light", which means that the Daqi Dynasty will perish during the reign of Emperor Tianxing.
In addition, more than ten years ago, the Lu family in Qingzhou was executed by nine clans, which made Zhao Changying know that Emperor Tianxing, who had lived in the palace for a long time, was by no means a vegetarian - he was fierce and merciless towards those who conspired against him.
No wonder he felt flustered and felt like someone was trying to set him up.
"Now these prophecies are widely circulated among the people, and I can't figure out their source for a while," Luo Chuan shook his head and replied, "But as we all know, the current emperor has a keen eye and can distinguish between loyal and traitorous people. As long as you It is true that he has no ulterior motives, and it is impossible for him to blame you for these absurd rumors."
"I hope so," Zhao Changying sighed and poured a large bowl of strong wine into his stomach again, "Luochuan, you should know very well that people like me whose cultivation has been stagnant for nearly twenty years , how could there be such courage..."
Luo Chuan smiled and said nothing.
In the next period of time, the two saints drank from a large bowl and sipped tea, but neither spoke again.
About a quarter of an hour later, Duke Yan Zhao Changying stretched his waist, stood up, said goodbye, and then disappeared.
Only Luo Chuan and Gu Xu were left on the observatory.
At this time, Luo Chuan took out a piece of finely crafted paper from his arms and handed it to Gu Xu with both hands.
"Gu Xiaoyou, this is your appointment letter."
