On the day of the Demon-Exorcism Conference, Gu Jiu and his group got up early in the morning.
After breakfast, they set off for the palace.
According to the usual practice, on the first day of the Demon-Exorcism Conference, the Great Chu Emperor hosted a banquet in the Imperial Palace to entertain all the ascetics who came from afar and get to know them. On the second day, all the ascetics who participated in the Demon-Exorcism Conference demonstrated their most famous skills in the Imperial Palace Martial Arts Arena. On the third day, they began to head to the Imperial Mausoleum.
The first two days are mainly for entertainment, and the third day is the highlight.
This time, the steward prepared a sufficient number of carriages for them. Gu Jiu and Qin Huang took Taoist Nun Qingping, Senior Sister Mu Ying and several other sisters on board.
The young Taoist nuns sat in the carriage with excited expressions. From time to time, they looked outside through the swaying curtains and discussed in low voices the upcoming palace banquet.
Qin Huang asked: "I heard that the emperor is the most afraid of death in the world. With so many cultivators going to the palace, aren't you afraid of something happening?" Could it be that the feudal emperors in the demon world are braver
As the saying goes, knights break the law with force. The martial arts of the ascetics are even better, and there are many of them. Isn't the emperor afraid
"Do you think the Dragon Control Bureau is just there to do nothing? We have the National Master to keep an eye on things." Gu Jiu gave him a blank look.
Qin Huang smacked his lips, "It seems that the Imperial Master is still very capable."
With the world's number one grandmaster keeping watch, no one dared to cause trouble in the palace, and the emperor's safety was also guaranteed.
They arrived at the palace neither too early nor too late. There were already many vehicles parked in front of the Xuanwu Gate, all of which were monks preparing to enter the palace.
When they come to a place like the Imperial City, the monks who were originally unpretentious also pay attention to their appearance. After all, there are many noble people here, so they still want to give people a good image and secretly advertise their forces to expand their reputation and improve their status.
The same is true for Gu Jiu who specially dresses up the Taoist nuns.
Qingyun Temple is in its development period and needs to recruit more disciples.
One is not allowed to enter the palace in a private carriage, this is also to prevent monks with ulterior motives towards the royal family from sneaking in.
After parking the carriage, everyone got off.
The dragon guards from the Dragon Control Bureau are still guarding the gate.
The dragon guards checked the monk's invitation letter and allowed the person to pass after confirming that there was no misunderstanding.
When it was Gu Jiu and his group's turn, the people from the Dragon Control Division glanced at the group of people with lightning-like eyes, their brows twitched, and then they glanced at the other monks who were about to enter the palace, the expression on their faces was very intriguing.
Taoist nun Qingping realized belatedly that they had brought too many people into the palace.
Looking at other cultivators, they only bring a few disciples with them. A large group of nearly twenty people like theirs is really rare. It is no wonder that the Dragon Guards' expressions are so indescribable.
Gu Jiu said calmly: "They are our disciples of Qingyun Temple."
The nuns also imitated her calmness and smiled politely.
The other monks who had not yet entered the palace looked over and were all startled when they saw this group of young and beautiful women in silk dresses.
I have to admit that seeing such a group of heroic and beautiful women is not only dazzling, but also makes me feel very good.
Especially the woman in the lead, who was like the queen of flowers surrounded by hundreds of flowers, was extremely beautiful and attracted the attention of the world.
The dragon guards looked at her and Qin Huang, and finally let them in.
On the first day of the Demon-Exorcism Conference, the Emperor of Great Chu would hold a banquet to entertain the ascetics. There was indeed no rule that the ascetics who came to the banquet could not bring too many people, but too many people meant more trouble, so for the sake of caution, the ascetics who entered the palace and attended the banquet would tacitly bring only a few disciples or followers, and rarely would they bring more than ten people.
Of course, the bigger reason for their concessions was because of Gu Jiu and Qin Huang.
These two people had already been registered with the Emperor of Great Chu, and even the Dragon Control Bureau had spread their deeds. These two people were too ostentatious, and for powerful cultivators, certain rules could be compromised for them.
After entering the palace, someone came and led them to a place full of flowers.
This is the imperial garden of the palace, where the Emperor of Great Chu held a banquet to entertain the ascetics who came from afar. There were already about a thousand ascetics gathered here, and there were guards from the Imperial Dragon Division guarding the area.
The arrival of Gu Jiu and others did not attract any attention. Except for the fact that the number of women in the group was too large and the monks were dazzled by their beauty, the monks did not take it seriously until they heard someone calling Gu Jiu's name, and then all eyes were focused on her.
"Gu Jiu, you are here."
Wei Shengtu and Chu Xiuyu, dressed in white and carrying swords, walked over.
Chu Xiu Yu nodded to Gu Jiu and Qin Huang. Wei Sheng Tu glanced at the Taoist nuns surrounding Gu Jiu with a subtle look, as if they didn't expect that she was such a young lady who liked to collect beauties.
Those who don’t know the situation might think that the eldest lady was traveling with her group of sisters. Her overbearing attitude made it clear that she was extremely wealthy.
Gu Jiu also greeted her and asked her when she would leave the South.
"I left last month. I wanted to look for you guys, but then I heard about the Demon Extermination Conference and thought you guys would come, so I came here."
Wei Shengtu spoke calmly, but others could hear some clues. It can be seen that she is doing well in Kunshan, otherwise she would not come here to represent Kunshan this time.
As the two were talking, they felt several gazes. They turned around and saw that they were three young men and women.
They are the three players who are making trouble in the East China Sea.
There is a special connection between players. When the three saw Gu Jiu and the others looking at them, their eyes met. They nodded politely and walked over here.
The leading male player smiled and said, "You are the eldest lady! Along the way, we have heard about your and Qin Huang's deeds. They are quite impressive."
The word "young lady" was obviously heard from the battlefield.
The three introduced themselves. The leading male player was named Qi Qianyin, and the remaining two were Ye Qian and Shu Yingying. The three were partners and often teamed up together to enter the game world.
Qin Huang asked in confusion: "What have you been doing in the East China Sea?"
"Look for mermaids." Qi Qianyin said, "There is a tribe of mermaids in the East China Sea. We have learned a lot from them."
The props and talents of these three people are all related to the ocean, so they set their target on the ocean. When they learned that there were mermaids in the East China Sea, they went directly to the East China Sea.
Their thoughts were similar to Wei Shengtu's. It was a rare opportunity to come to a world where demons were rampant. There were so many skills to learn and countless natural treasures to encounter. Of course, they would focus on themselves first and upgrade themselves.
As for the game missions, aren’t there other players
Qin Huang looked at the group of guys with a puzzled look, "So, are the young lady and I the only ones who are doing the task seriously?"
Huo Ting hangs out in the imperial city, Wei Shengtu hangs out in the south, and these three hang out in the East China Sea. Only he and Gu Jiu travel across the country to slay demons and eliminate monsters, looking for the leader of the demons.
Wei Shengtu, Qi Qianyin and the others all looked embarrassed but smiled politely.
"The more capable you are, the more work you will do." Ye Qian said with a smile, "I have heard of the name of the eldest lady. If the eldest lady takes action, we just need to follow her and win."
"Pooh!"
Qin Huang rudely pouted at them, "You all want to rely on the eldest lady to win easily?" The problem is that before they became famous, these people didn't know that Gu Jiu had also entered the demon world this time. What they said was just an excuse and prevarication for themselves.
The four people who had no intention of completing their mission continued to smile awkwardly but politely.
Qin Huang was very angry with them. Although A-level players paid more attention to learning skills in the game world and didn't care much about tasks, there were no other players like them. They all wanted to find a place to enrich themselves, put the tasks aside, and wait for others to lead them through the game.
It's really abominable.
He turned to Gu Jiu and said, "Miss, let's ignore them. When we encounter problems in the future, let them take charge."
Gu Jiu looked at him and said "OK" politely.
Qin Huang looked at the four inactions with pride and finally vented his anger.
Players rarely meet each other, so they hide in corners to chat and exchange information with each other until the palace banquet begins, then they find their seats.
After all the ascetics took their seats, in silence, the emperor and imperial teacher of the Great Chu Dynasty finally appeared.
The emperor looked to be in his fifties, with a dignified face and wearing a golden dragon robe. Sitting there, he had the aura of an emperor with dignity without even getting angry.
He was just an ordinary feudal emperor.
Nothing could be seen from the emperor, and everyone's eyes fell on the imperial teacher.
The Imperial Master looked very young, with a handsome face and extraordinary temperament. He wore a solemn black robe embroidered with mysterious and complex patterns with silver thread. When he walked, the patterns shone brightly, as if they were injected with life, emitting a faint spiritual light.
His aura was restrained, and he stood there quietly, like clouds in the sky, far away and unreachable, and also like the deep sea, with inner strength that was immeasurable.
I heard that this national teacher took office forty years ago. He looked like this forty years ago, and he still looks like this forty years later. No one knows how old he is now. We only know that he is very powerful and is a grandmaster-level cultivator of the Great Chu Emperor.
The imperial teacher sat next to the Emperor of Great Chu, as if he was on an equal footing with the emperor.
All the ascetics' eyes fell on the national teacher, and they didn't even notice what the Emperor of Great Chu said.
Until the palace banquet began, a group of beautiful ladies in palace costumes came in one after another, holding various foods. Then the sound of stringed instruments arose, and a group of enchanting dancers spun around and danced gracefully.
As the monks were enjoying fine wine and delicious food and appreciating beautiful songs and dances, they discovered that the national teacher suddenly stood up and left.
Left
The emperor said, "Everyone, the Imperial Master has to leave for something. Please don't mind and continue drinking."
The Imperial Master had a high status, so the monks present dared not object to his leaving. They all said they didn't care and continued to drink and watch the beauties dance.
After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became more and more lively.
The Emperor of Great Chu was chatting with the closest ascetics, all of whom were talking about the demonic disasters that were happening outside the imperial city, as if he was using this to understand the mountains and rivers of Great Chu outside the imperial city.
Although the cultivators were not bound by the Great Chu Dynasty, they had to consider the Imperial Master and the Dragon Control Bureau, so they did not behave too arrogantly or rudely. They all asked and answered questions, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.
The banquet ended as the sun set and a group of monks left the palace drunkenly.
The first day of the demon-hunting convention ended peacefully.
But that night, the capital city was a little uneasy. The sleepers could vaguely hear footsteps on the street outside, and there was a faint demonic aura in the air. When they got up and put on their clothes, standing on the wall to watch, they found that a number of dragon guards from the Dragon Control Division had been dispatched from the imperial city.
Qin Huang lay on the top of the wall, watching the black-clad dragon guards pass by quickly and disappear at the end, feeling somewhat puzzled.
"Isn't the Imperial City protected by dragon energy? Why is the evil spirit so strong at night?"
They had been in the capital for the past few days, and everything had been normal at night, but tonight, a large amount of evil spirit suddenly appeared, which was really puzzling.
Taoist nun Qingping knew some inside information and whispered, "I heard that every midsummer, there will be a demon disaster in the imperial city, but this demon disaster is not serious and can be solved by the Dragon Control Bureau."
That’s why the demon-killing convention is scheduled in midsummer.
"Is every demon-killing conference like this?" Gu Jiu asked.
Taoist Nun Qingping nodded, "I heard Elder Qingchen say before that on the night of the Demon-Exorcism Conference, the Imperial City will be shrouded in demonic energy, but it will be nothing, don't worry."
Calm returned outside and the startled monks went back to rest.
Gu Jiu and Qin Huang did not go back, but continued to stand on the wall and watch.
Not long after, Huo Ting appeared on the street, walked towards this side, stopped in front of the wall, looked at the two people on the wall, and asked: "What are you doing?"
"Of course I'm waiting for you." Qin Huang said, "Huo Ting, what happened? Where did the evil come from?"
Huo Ting said in a deep voice: "It should be related to the imperial mausoleum. The evil spirit came from the imperial mausoleum, but the situation is not serious. The national teacher has already dealt with it."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows. Even the imperial master had been dispatched. How could it not be serious
Huo Ting understood what she meant and said bluntly: "If even the national teacher can't handle it, then it's serious."
The two of them had a great understanding of each other, and after hearing this, Gu Jiu understood what he meant.
Obviously, the situation in the imperial mausoleum is beyond the ability of even the imperial teacher to handle, so there is a demon-killing conference every three years, inviting people of ambition from all over the world to gather in the imperial city in the name of the Emperor of Great Chu.
What are the benefits for ascetics
In addition to being able to spread one's reputation, there are also some magical instruments presented by the royal family of Great Chu. It is said that they were personally refined by the national master. These magical instruments alone are worth the trip.
**
The next day, they entered the palace again and came to the imperial training ground.
Nearly two thousand ascetics gathered here, making a lively scene, along with members of the royal family, who sat in a rest area in the distance, watching with some sort of clairvoyance-like instrument.
The ascetics began to demonstrate their unique skills.
Some people split the sky and the earth, some people overturn the rivers and seas, some people enslave beasts and control monsters, some people fly through the clouds and control the rain, and some people...
As expected of the world's top cultivators, the unique skills they displayed and the power contained therein are so fascinating that people can't help but be fascinated.
Those who dared to demonstrate on stage were all well-known practitioners, each with his own unique skills.
Finally it was Gu Jiu and Qin Huang's turn.
The atmosphere at the scene became more and more heated, and even the royal members in the rest area could not help but burst into applause for her beauty and her charm.
Gu Jiu only showed one sword.
The Qiankun sword technique can break the universe, stir up the wind and clouds, and almost split the space.
This is a sword technique evolved from the "Qiankun" technique. Gu Jiu has already thoroughly mastered the "Qiankun" technique and discovered that although this technique is aimed at Qiankun, it can be varied and can be integrated into body movements, footwork, boxing, swordsmanship and other aspects.
It is a test of one's comprehension. As long as one has enough comprehension, one can evolve countless techniques related to Qiankun.
Gu Jiu has mastered it very well. He has already mastered the Qiankun sword technique and Qiankun footwork, and is still integrating the others.
The Taoist nuns from Qingyun Temple and Qin Huang were so excited watching this.
Especially Qin Huang, he learned the "Qian Kun" skills with Gu Jiu, but somehow, he just didn't have Gu Jiu's comprehension. The only thing he learned so far was the body movement, which could make him more durable and not become fragile without the protection of card creatures.
This is also his biggest gain in the demon world.
After Gu Jiu put away his sword and left the field, the atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, and then soon became a sensation.
Those long-established monks opened their eyes wide, especially when they saw that the one performing the Qiankun sword technique was actually a young woman in her early twenties. It was even more incredible.
Are today's young people so scary
Wei Shengtu, Qi Qianyin and others who were waiting for Gu Jiu to lead them to victory were also full of surprise.
"As expected of the eldest lady, you are truly amazing." Ye Qian's usual smiling face showed some appreciation.
"Why do you think the people in the battlefield call her Miss?" Shu Yingying rolled her eyes at him. She was actually very surprised by Gu Jiu's performance. As they were both female players, she was not jealous. Instead, she was happy for the female players' strong strength.
Wei Shengtu's icy face showed a smile, "Gu Jiu is really amazing, it's a pleasure to work with her."
Qi Qianyin and the other two looked at her in surprise. They all knew the Poison Queen Wei Shengtu, who was a lone ranger. They didn't expect that one day she would want to find a partner.
However, with the strength shown by Gu Jiu, he is indeed a partner that people really want to work with.
