Intuition told Gu Xu that these light spots represented the connection between the God of Fire and his believers.
Through these connections, the god of fire can give his power to his followers and can also take back his power.
"If I'm not wrong, the position of 'God of Fire' has been vacant in the past few years," Gu Xu thought in his mind, "The object that the people of Dayan worship is actually just an illusory symbol.
"But because 'Hui Lu' and Dayan Fire God have similar rules, authority and unknown relationship, I relied on the 'Hui Lu' rune to occupy this divine position.
"I have to say that the power of faith is really powerful. Compared with 'God', the followers of 'Vulcan' are pitiful, but I was still almost burst by this power just now.
"No wonder 'Tai Shang Haotian' wanted to create a supreme god with two sides, and worked hard to usurp the incense that originally belonged to 'Emperor Zi Wei'."
At this time, he turned around and saw the high priest Chong Li kneeling at his feet, as well as a room full of priests kneeling.
The development of things was obviously beyond his expectation.
How could he, a wanted criminal who was fleeing in embarrassment, accidentally become the incarnation of a god in the eyes of this group of people?
Of course, the current Gu Xu is no longer the simple young man in Yishui County who was dedicated to killing ghosts and seeking immortality.
Even though his heart was filled with ups and downs, the expression on his face remained calm and composed.
He was thinking that he was the enemy of the Da Qi court, and Dayan was also the enemy of the Da Qi court, and he had such a subtle connection with Dayan - so could he take this opportunity to tie Dayan to him? chariot?
Although Zhao Yan has expressed her willingness to provide him with asylum more than once, this is ultimately Zhao Yan's personal idea. If he agrees, in the eyes of the Yan people, he will be nothing more than a defector from outside, a guest privately solicited by Her Majesty the Queen.
But it would be different if he was involved with the "Vulcan".
The people of Dayan will completely regard him as one of their own.
Even Zhao Yan's opponents, at least on the surface, have to enshrine him on the altar and obey his will.
Perhaps such a move is somewhat suspicious of exploitation.
But after he narrowly escaped death and escaped from the Daqi border, he had deeply realized that it was difficult for one person to compete with a country.
Before his wings are fully mature, he must try his best to find all possible help.
"People of Dayan, you will understand soon that I am fighting for the liberation of the Great Wilderness human race..." He said secretly in his heart.
Thinking of this, he bent down slightly, stretched out his hand to lift the high priest Chongli who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a kind but majestic tone: "Get up. You should know very well that what I care about is never superficial. etiquette."
Chong Li stood up trembling slightly, his eyes suddenly filled with tears.
"It turns out you really didn't abandon us..."
…………
At the same time, Dayan Palace.
Zhao Changying looked at the daughter in front of him and was silent for a long time.
Suddenly, he turned his head and glanced out the window: "Yan'er, the guest you brought seems to have just made a lot of noise in the Fire Temple. If I guess correctly, he is helping you awaken. Is that young man named Gu Xu from the bloodline?"
"That's right." Zhao Yan nodded.
At this moment, she also clearly felt that there was a scorching power rising in the direction of the Fire Temple, which resonated strongly with her bloodline.
Zhao Yan was not surprised that her father easily guessed Gu Xu's identity.
As a strong man in the realm of "True King", Zhao Changying's spiritual power has expanded to its limit, and he can almost cover an entire city and know what is happening in the city.
Gu Xu's mask can block divination and observation spells, but it cannot stop Zhao Changying's predictions based on experience.
"It seems that he really has a deep connection with our great 'Vulcan'," Zhao Changying continued, "Yan'er, you have been staying with him in the past few days, have you considered leaving him in Dayan? "
"I tried to recruit him, but he didn't give me a definite answer." Zhao Yan replied.
"The word 'recruiting' is a bit disrespectful when applied to people like Gu Xu." Zhao Changying smiled faintly, "Even Luochuan served him tea respectfully in front of him. water.
"We can't expect him to become our subordinate and make him loyal to us. We can only give sufficient conditions and 'please' him to stay and make him one of our own."
Zhao Yan remained silent, but she agreed with her father's statement in her heart.
In the process of getting along with Gu Xu, she could feel that Gu Xu was polite to others on the surface, but in fact he was arrogant - especially when he talked about gods and emperors, there was no such thing in his tone. The awe that ordinary people feel is like discussing a trivial matter at home.
What's more, Gu Xu also told her that the main star of his life palace is "Purple Micro Star"...
"How do you feel about him?" Zhao Changying suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
"Ah? It's okay." Zhao Yan was caught off guard and said.
"If he were to be your husband, would you?"
Zhao Yan was stunned for a second. Unexpectedly, her father kept talking for a long time and finally changed the topic to her marriage.
"Didn't I just tell you?" she retorted reflexively, "I hate close contact with men."
"Then how do you explain why you let Gu Xu grab your arm in front of the palace just now?" The corners of Zhao Changying's mouth raised slightly, and there was a hint of naughtiness belonging to a young man in his smile.
"This..." Zhao Yan curled her lips, feeling that this was a bit difficult to explain, "I just regard him as a very good friend. Well... maybe I have a little appreciation for him, but he already has I have a fiancée with deep feelings, and I can’t do anything to him.”
"If the information I got is correct, his engagement has been broken off by the woman."
"Yes, the engagement was broken off. He also told me about it. But after all, it was due to external factors. I see that he is obsessed with that fiancée. He probably thinks about returning to the capital and killing Emperor Tianxing all the time. , renew the relationship.”
"Yan'er, you are wrong," Zhao Changying said earnestly, "Men are all face-saving creatures. Even if he really misses that girl, he will never be able to get married to her again."
"Why?" Zhao Yan was puzzled.
"If I'm not wrong, he only told you about the breakup of the engagement, but not the details of the breakup process," Zhao Changying explained, "According to the information obtained by the spies I sent to Luojing City, Shi Lei, Gu Xu's prospective father-in-law, came to Qianhu in the state capital. After Gu Xu was ordered to be wanted, he immediately called the matchmaker to his home. In front of them, he tore up the engagement contract and burned the money that Gu Xu had sent before. bride price.
"After that, it was also because Shi Lei revealed Gu Xu's information to Princess Zhaoning that Gu Xu's whereabouts were exposed in Jingxing.
"You should have understood that in the customs of Daqi, it is extremely humiliating for a man to have a woman regret her marriage. It is also written in "Qi Lv" that, 'The woman regrets her marriage according to the law and sticks for sixty years, and betrothed to another man. , a hundred sticks'.
"The circumstances of Shi Lei's breaking off the engagement for his daughter are special and he is not subject to legal punishment. But purely from the perspective of his behavior of burning the bride price, it was a slap in the face of the man in public. Normally, it would be enough to make the two families enmity. "
Zhao Yan took a deep breath and remained silent.
In the past, Gu Xu had only told her that he broke off the engagement just to clear up the relationship and protect Shi Xiaohan from being implicated; but she didn't know that there were so many details hidden in it.
Especially during the battle at Jingxing, she saw that Gu Xu was outnumbered, covered in wounds, and his life was in danger under the pursuit of Daqi officials.
Gu Xu's former father-in-law was the accomplice who forced him into a desperate situation.
It's just that Gu Xu doesn't seem to know this.
Moreover, when he mentioned Shi Xiaohan and her family, there was no complaint in his tone. Instead, he was full of understanding of their situation. At most, he could only sigh, "Fate makes people suffer, and their lives are full of misfortunes."
Gu Xu, Gu Xu, you are so kind. Zhao Yan sighed silently.
Vaguely, she suddenly felt a little reluctant to let Gu Xu leave her and go back to Luojing to renew their relationship, for fear that he would be hurt like this again in the future.
"Yan'er, I know that you have been a proud person since you were a child. You are not willing to change the principles you believe in easily, and naturally you are not willing to admit your feelings in person.
"But your eyes don't lie. When you were outside the palace, your eyes kept falling on him, as if there was a magnet on him that could firmly attract your attention.
"When I was talking just now, I also saw that you were worried and nervous for him, with your brows furrowed tightly.
"I've never seen you look like this on anyone else.
"Not even your biological father has enjoyed such treatment."
Zhao Changying sighed softly and continued.
"It's not that exaggerated, right? Don't make it up." Zhao Yan frowned, as if she still wasn't willing to admit it.
"Whether it is true or not, touch your heart and think about it carefully."
Zhao Yan snorted softly, but her right hand couldn't help but touch her chest.
At this moment, she did notice that her heart was beating loudly.
However, her mind was too broad, and she really couldn't figure out the specific frequency of her heartbeat.
"You have grown up listening to the legends of the heroes of the Northern Territory. You should know very well that 'the strong are respected' has always been our Dayan tradition," Zhao Changying paused and then said, "As long as you are strong enough , you will have priority to obtain the right to choose all resources, including elixirs, money and beauties.
"As children of the Zhao family, if we want something, we can just grab it ourselves. Why should we care about other people's opinions and give it away?
"I remember back then, I fought with others on the edge of a cliff for your mother. In order to chase your great-grandfather, your great-grandmother single-handedly ambush him on the mountain road he must pass, and intercepted him like a female bandit.
"I've heard others talk about Shi Lei's daughter. She's just an immature, short, yellow-haired girl. Only young virgins in love would like that kind of girl. My daughter looks better than her, and is also stronger than her. , if you want a man, are you afraid that you can't get him?
"Besides, from the moment she tore up the engagement, it was equivalent to voluntarily withdrawing from the competition..."
"Father!" Zhao Yan sat up straight and frowned.
Although she was born in the north and knew that the folk customs in the north were tough, perhaps because she spent most of her childhood in Luojing City, when Zhao Changying brought up the topic of "stealing men" in front of her while smelling of alcohol, She still inevitably felt a little awkward.
"Well, I won't rush you." Seeing Zhao Yan's appearance, Zhao Changying chuckled again, "You must be tired after running around outside for so many days. Go to your room to change clothes and rest. Let’s think about this issue seriously for a while!”
Zhao Yan said "Yeah", nodded, and then walked out of the room absentmindedly.
Zhao Changying looked at her leaving back and took a long breath.
He once thought that with his daughter's temper, she might spend her whole life with brothel courtesans. Unexpectedly, before she died, she was waiting for the day when she would be as emotional as other girls.
Thinking of the young man named Gu Xu, he felt quite complicated.
On the one hand, like all father-in-laws in the world, he felt that the little cabbage he had worked so hard to raise was about to be taken away by pigs;
On the other hand, he knew that Gu Xu’s identity and potential must be extraordinary——
It can be seen from Luochuan's attitude towards him that Gu Xu's future state will be at least starting from a saint, and will most likely be above a saint.
And with Gu Xu's current incredible cultivation speed, it will not take him a few years to reach the realm of a saint.
Now that Da Qi and Dayan are enemies, Zhao Changying's time is running out.
Although Dayan still has a certain foundation, it will still be very difficult to resist the powerful Daqi Dynasty.
If Gu Xu is willing to stay in Dayan, he will definitely become a powerful helper for Zhao Yan when he becomes fully fledged.
But the most important thing is the connection between Gu Xu and the "Vulcan".
Relying on the spiritual perception ability of the "True King", Zhao Changying already knew everything that happened in the "Fire Temple" today.
Although he didn't know the existence of the "Hui Lu" rune, nor did he know to what extent Gu Xu could control the power of the "Fire God", he could feel the faint movement of his bloodline power, and he could also predict that Gu Xuri What a lofty status it will have in the minds of "Vulcan" believers.
Maybe in the near future, Gu Xu's prestige in the north will become higher than that of the Great Yan monarch.
Zhao Changying understood that such a person must not be let go and let him live among other forces; nor should he be treated with too strong a means to arouse his resentment.
The best way is to make him one of your own.
It happened that Gu Xu was born a commoner, with no relatives or influence behind him.
Coincidentally, Zhao Yan also happened to have a good impression of him.
That's why he directly mentioned the matter of marriage in front of Zhao Yan, hoping that the matter could be settled before his death.
Thinking of this, Zhao Changying raised his head and ordered the guard guarding the door: "When the friend brought by Yan'er comes out of the temple, please invite him here and say that I want to see him and talk to him." Let’s have a good talk.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
