The Taoist nuns followed Gu Jiu with a confused look on their faces.
They found that Gu Jiu did not ask who the other person was, but just followed him. The Taoist nuns in Qingyun Temple were a little puzzled, wondering if the incident had any connection with Gu Jiu
Qin Huang had some guesses and asked in a low voice: "Was it arranged by Huo Ting?"
Gu Jiu nodded slightly.
"I didn't expect that he is so thoughtful." Qin Huang showed admiration on his face. Huo Ting arranged accommodation for them, which saved them the effort of looking for houses everywhere in the imperial city.
Although Huo Ting looks like a tough guy, you can't tell he is so careful.
The steward who led the way was very polite to Gu Jiu. He arranged a carriage, but he didn't expect that there were so many people coming and there were obviously not enough carriages.
There was a look of shame on his face, and he quickly arranged for people to get a few more carriages.
After Gu Jiu found out the location, he smiled and said, "It's okay, we can just walk there, and we can take a look at the Imperial City."
The Taoist nuns around all had expressions of approval on their faces; it was their first time in the Imperial City and it was a rare occasion for them to come here, and they felt that a pair of eyes would never be enough to see everything.
The steward smiled at Gu Jiu gratefully, becoming more respectful. While accompanying them to visit the imperial city, he introduced the streets and alleys along the way as well as some famous places in the imperial city, all of which were places that outsiders were curious about.
Everyone present was a cultivator, and they walked very quickly. After about quarter of an hour, they arrived at the residence arranged by the steward.
It is a three-story house. Although it is not big, it is big enough to accommodate twenty or so people.
More importantly, the place is quiet but not remote. Just two streets away is the bustling market. The place is connected to Xuande Street, which is very convenient for ascetics to carry out their activities.
The house was cleaned very cleanly, and all the daily necessities in the house were new and specially scented, which perfectly met the meticulous requirements of Miss Gu Jiuwei.
She is full.
The others were also very satisfied. They were not particular about the accommodation conditions, but they naturally didn't mind living in a clean and tidy place.
After the steward had arranged everything for them, he left a few servants behind and then said goodbye and left.
After everyone was settled, they went around to familiarize themselves with the environment, and soon it became dark.
After dark, a guest came to the house.
When the Taoist nun who opened the door saw a handsome man in black clothes, with a black sword hanging from his waist and a powerful aura appear outside the door, she was a little stunned. Then she blushed and asked in a soft voice who the man was and what was the matter.
There is no doubt that he is a very charming man. His handsomeness and righteousness give people a sense of security.
The visitor said, "I'm looking for Gu Jiu."
Gu Jiu and Qin Huang came out and saw the man at the door, their eyes looked a little subtle.
Huo Ting saw their looks, paused, and asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
"Nothing." Qin Huang said in a brisk tone, "I just didn't expect you to be dressed like this, it's quite interesting. Also, the clothes you are wearing are from the Yulong Division, right? Aren't you a disciple of the national master? How did you become a Yulong Division?"
Gu Jiu glanced outside the door and said to Huo Ting, "Come in first."
The door closed again, blocking out any prying eyes from outside.
The three of them came to the flower hall. After the nuns served tea, they left on their own initiative and went to guard outside.
"Disciples under the Imperial Master usually hold important positions in the Dragon Control Bureau. I am currently the captain of the Thirteen Dragon Guards of the Dragon Control Bureau." Huo Ting explained indifferently.
Qin Huang gave him a thumbs-up and praised him sincerely, "You are doing really well."
The Imperial Dragon Division is an official organization of the Great Chu Dynasty. It has a total of thirteen dragon guards, and each dragon guard captain is a carefully selected strong man with an impeccable status. An outsider can climb to the thirteen dragon guard captain in half a year, which shows that Huo Ting is very capable, as if he was born to eat a bowl of public rice.
But he still felt that he was not as good as himself and the eldest lady.
Qin Huang was very confident about this. He and Gu Jiu had spent more than half a year and had almost traveled through the entire territory of the Great Chu Imperial City. Other players certainly did not have their generosity.
This is indeed the case.
There were not many players entering the demon world for the first time, only seven.
Among the seven people, Huo Ting is in the imperial city, Wei Shengtu is in the south, and the other three are said to be doing something in the East China Sea and it took them several months to come back. The most famous ones are Gu Jiu and Qin Huang, and they are also the most feared by the world's people and demons and monsters.
However, for this demon-hunting conference, I believe all players will gather in the Imperial City.
Huo Ting was not too proud of the fact that he had spent half a year to get the position, and asked, "Do you know the original intention of holding the Demon Exorcism Conference?"
Qin Huang said: "I heard it is related to the imperial mausoleum of the Great Chu Dynasty."
They also did their homework before coming.
However, we only know that the original intention of holding the Demon-Exorcism Conference was related to the Imperial Mausoleum. As for the deeper inside story, the outside world is not aware of it. In the past, those who participated in the Demon-Exorcism Conference kept their mouths shut after returning from the capital, and rarely revealed the inside story, resulting in the world not knowing much.
Huo Ting nodded, "It is indeed related to the imperial mausoleum of the Great Chu Dynasty. Unfortunately, I have been in the Imperial Master's Mansion for so long and have not been able to find out. I can only tell you that you must be careful when you go to the imperial mausoleum."
He said cautiously, his usually resolute brows now revealing a hint of solemnity.
"Why is it so mysterious?" Qin Huang was very curious. "That place should be very dangerous. What about the people who participated in the Demon Exorcism Conference in the past?"
Huo Ting pondered and said, "Most of them are fine, but when they return, they will choose to close the gate of life and death."
The three people present all understood what the life and death barrier of a cultivator meant. Generally, they would choose to go through the life and death barrier when they realized that there was something wrong with their own cultivation. Of course, there were also some who chose to go through the life and death barrier just to put pressure on themselves.
At this time, Gu Jiu asked: "How many people who have been in the life and death gate have successfully come out?"
Huo Ting shook his head at her without saying anything, but his reaction also showed that the situation of those who were in the life and death isolation was not very good.
Qin Huang frowned, and finally felt that the Demon-Extermination Conference seemed to have ill intentions. Could it be a conspiracy against practitioners or the world
His imagination began to diverge uncontrollably. "I heard that every demon-killing conference is hosted by the national master. Could it be that the national master is the biggest boss?" He looked at Huo Ting and asked expectantly, "Huo Ting, is that right?"
Huo Ting looked at him inexplicably, and said in silence for a long while: "I'm sorry to disappoint you. From what I've seen from my interactions with the national teacher, he's not a boss. Instead, he's a good man who cares about the world and has great ambitions."
"real?"
After confirming that the National Master was actually a good person, Qin Huang was very disappointed. He felt that the setting of the National Master did not fit the routine. Generally speaking, a master-level figure like the National Master who was powerful and mysterious, and was respected and trusted by the royal family, would be very suitable to be a villain hiding in the dark and causing trouble.
Gu Jiu drank his tea silently, thinking to himself that the Imperial Master was nothing, as the world's biggest villain had already been following them.
Huo Ting couldn't help but look at Gu Jiu, his mouth moved but he didn't say anything.
In fact, he really wanted to ask where Lu Ji had gone. Was it like the setting in the previous game world, that Lu Ji had turned into some strange existence again
"However, even if the State Master is a good person, the Demon-Extermination Conference is still a conspiracy." Qin Huang said firmly, "It may be a conspiracy of the Great Chu Dynasty. As for why the State Master did not expose it, but instead helped the Great Chu Dynasty to maintain its rule, it may be that the State Master's identity is different. He must have a close relationship with the Great Chu Dynasty."
Huo Ting: "... In fact, the national teacher is from the royal family."
Qin Huang slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "That's right! So he is such a national teacher, caught between the justice of the world and the dynasty, helpless, can only help do bad things..."
Gu Jiu: “…”
Huo Ting: “…”
The two of them looked at Qin Huang who was getting more and more excited as he talked, and they looked at each other, seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.
Huo Ting looked at Gu Jiu and asked her why she wanted to bring such a mentally ill person into the game world? Was it because of her mental disorder
Gu Jiu blinked.
Of course it’s because it’s fun and interesting. He can imagine it all by himself without having to say anything. Isn’t it interesting
Huo Ting was speechless.
After the three of them finished discussing the matter, it was already late, so Huo Ting got up and said goodbye.
As a disciple of the Imperial Master, he still lives in the Imperial Master's Tower, which makes it easier for him to explore the secrets of the dynasty.
When leaving, Huo Ting suddenly asked: "Where is he?"
he
Qin Huang was just wondering who he was asking when he heard Gu Jiu say, "He's busy with his own business. I guess he'll show up at the Demon-Extermination Conference."
Huo Ting nodded, said nothing more, walked out of the house, and his figure gradually disappeared into the dark street outside the door.
Only Qin Huang looked confused. He didn't know what the two were talking about, but the tacit understanding between them could not be cultivated without more than ten years, which made him very envious.
He followed behind Gu Jiu and asked curiously, "Miss, who was the one Huo Ting was talking about just now?"
Gu Jiu just smiled at him and went back to his room to rest, leaving Qin Huang standing in the yard in confusion, unable to figure out who "he" was no matter how hard he tried.
The next day, Gu Jiu took the young Taoist nuns out.
Qin Huang was originally following them, but when he saw the group of women starting to shop, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he said goodbye and quickly slipped away.
He went to Juzhen Garden on Xuande Street.
It is said that Juzhen Garden is a prince's villa. During the annual demon-killing conference, the royal family would entertain ascetics from all over the country. Most of the ascetics who arrived in the capital gathered in Juzhen Garden to discuss the situation of the demon-killing conference and exchange skills with each other.
Qin Huang decided to come over and check the situation.
In the evening, Gu Jiu came back with a group of Taoist nuns who were dressed beautifully.
The Taoist nuns have changed out of their Taoist robes and put on beautiful silk skirts and jewelry.
The Luo skirt is specially made for female ascetics. Not only does it make them look ethereal and graceful when worn, but it also has absolutely no impact on their combat abilities. It's just a bit expensive, and one cannot afford it without some wealth.
Gu Jiu didn't have much other things, just a lot of worldly gold, silver and other treasures. Not to mention what he had collected in other worlds before, even in this world, he had surrounded and wiped out the lairs of so many big monsters, and the number of rare and precious treasures he had seized was innumerable.
The wealthy young lady dressed up the nuns beautifully.
When she came in with a group of Taoist nuns dressed like fairies, not only was Taoist nun Qingping shocked, but even the straight man Qin Huang was stunned.
Even the most stupid man knows the difference between beauty and ugliness.
The nuns were a little shy and ran to Qingping nun to ask, "Master, do we look good?"
Taoist Nun Qingping: "…It looks good, but it's expensive, right?"
"It's not expensive." Gu Jiu said with a smile, "Money is something outside of our body. It's enough as long as it can buy us happiness."
Seeing her act as if she regarded money as dirt, what else could Taoist Nun Qingping do except secretly cover her chest and go back to her room to breathe
In the next two days, Gu Jiu took the Taoist nuns out happily every day, while Qin Huang went to Juzhenyuan Temple to investigate the situation.
After returning, he told Gu Jiu about the situation in Juzhenyuan.
"The one who entertained the ascetics at Juzhen Garden was Prince Anping, the younger brother of the current emperor. He was protected by several secret guards, all of whom were quite capable and were ascetics... It was a pity that I didn't see the Imperial Master, but I did see a lot of familiar faces..."
The acquaintances Qin Huang mentioned included other players and the ascetics they knew in this world.
They traveled all over the country, encircling and destroying monster lairs everywhere. They met many ascetics on the way, including those from various forces. Although they were not very close friends, they could still talk to each other.
"That girl Wei Shengtu is here too. She came with the people from Kunshan."
