"It's raining heavily, the white waves are raging, and the fishing boats in Guazhou are gone..."
The sun was still scorching in Danling, but it was raining heavily when entering Guazhou. The merchants were trapped at the riverside ferry, unable to enter or exit. People are used to the summer rain, and it is not uncommon for people to wait for three and a half days.
Two people who had never met before sat together.
Then what
Then…
Love of course.
Ah bah bah bah! It is said that a group of people who do not know each other are crowded in an inn, which is full of strange and exciting Jianghu flavor. This store is decades old, and the rooms are spacious, with three or four people crammed into each room, and the remaining 20 or so people really have nowhere to go, so they had to sit around in the lobby.
The torrential rain was raging outside the door, and the cold moisture squeezed in through the cracks in the door, blowing the fire up and down.
It was dinner time, and there were so many people, it should be noisy, but everyone in the store, old and young, held their breath and stared at the group of guys in the middle of the lobby...
Oh, there were a dozen of them when they first came, and in the blink of an eye there was only one left. And this cultivator in the concentrating stage was trembling, his mouth was open, unable to utter a word.
"Who sent you here?"
"Can't talk?"
Shao Le became impatient, cut off the opponent's head with a wave, and spat: "What a boring killer! There is no information in his brain, and he can't ask questions. Is he training the living dead?"
"Whoever he is, just kill him all the way."
Gu Yu dusted off his clothes, looked outside the door and said, "Shall we rest for one night, or leave overnight?"
"Let's go, this place is unlucky!"
Shao Le was very unhappy when a plate of sauced meat and a jar of old wine were overturned.
Gu Yu smiled, threw out a small bag of silver beads and threw it to the shopkeeper, "It's causing trouble for the shopkeeper, so don't look for it!"
"Too, too many!"
The shopkeeper's hands were shaking.
"It's a compensation!"
Squeak!
While speaking, the door was opened, and the rainwater scattered like silk poured in, and there was a rumbling sound outside. I don't know if it was thunder or ghosts and ghosts walking in the world.
One tall and one short, one fat and one thin, two figures threw themselves into the dark rainy night.
The later it was, the rain became heavier and heavier. At the beginning, I could hear the sound of horseshoes, but in a blink of an eye, it was mixed with the sound of drooping, and I disappeared.
"drive!"
"Da da da!"
Under the violent wind and rain, people and horses did not touch a drop of water, and the horseshoes were crisp and crisp, as if walking on flat ground. They lingered in the border town for a few days, and people kept coming to recruit them. After weighing, they chose the family of the Seven Princesses.
First of all, there is the root of the motherland, second is curiosity, and finally she is likely to hold the secret law of heaven and man in her hands.
The efficiency over there was very fast, and the two of them went to the recruitment hut to take up their posts the next day after agreeing to seek refuge. Zhaoying Lu is located in Dongzhou, from Danling Town, almost across the entire country.
There is no way, casual cultivation is worthless, especially this kind of casual cultivation of unknown origin.
Of course, the two of them didn't care about it, they had the right to travel, braved the heavy rain and traveled hundreds of miles, and encountered the second wave of killers in a small town.
After traveling another hundred miles to the east, we encountered a third wave...
When they traveled to a place less than fifty miles away from the attracting hut, their reputation had already spread throughout Qiyuan.
During the two out-of-body periods of casual cultivators, he killed more than a hundred monks along the way, dozens of monks in the concentration period, and twelve in the out-of-body period. He was unscathed and entered Dongzhou without a hair!
Suspicious, very suspicious, but this is not important anymore.
…
"Zhao Qian and Guo Li from the north, show off the class, and be the crown of the casual cultivator... confer the title of the casual practitioner, and walk the jade book!"
"Thank you Lu Lord!"
In the hall, Gu Yu and Shao Le saluted and took the jade plate from an unnamed dragon. It's similar to Zhenyang's etiquette system, with a jade ring on it and a Taoist robe, but without a seal.
Qiyuan's Taoist officials also need to be promoted step by step, but there are special methods for special times, and everything can be changed. In order to attract these people from the rivers and lakes, the bigwigs temporarily added a position: Sanren.
Sanren belong to non-staff and have high status, but they have no rank and no rights, no responsibility and no management, similar to worship.
Zhaoyinglu is under Mingyu's control, she is loyal from top to bottom, and I don't know what method she used to get it done, a subjugated princess is really powerful.
The owner of the house is Qin Guan, a master of the fugue stage, but he can't see through the strength of the two of them, so he just follows the instructions above and waits for observation.
Gu Yu is not in a hurry, he already has a comprehensive understanding of the situation in Qiyuan Kingdom:
Immortal travel is the strongest when Yan Zhou is not out, and there are three forces that are most worthy of attention at the moment. One is Mingyu, the other is the national teacher, the two are fighting openly and secretly, and each wins over Jinglu, probably at a 50-50 split.
The other group is sending the lord of Xianlu and the current general, both of whom are fugues and loyal royalists.
It is because of their presence that the domestic situation can be stabilized and will not collapse completely. The rest of the forces are useless, just fishing in troubled waters to see if they can get some benefits.
Gu Yu and Shao Le have not been here for a long time, but through various things, they have already noticed that there must be a battle between Mingyu and the national teacher.
They bide their time.
…
Southern Xinjiang, deep in the mountains.
Rhonda and Dangan are adults, beautiful and charming, and they don't have the atavism of those living people, no different from normal humans. All these years, they have been living in the hut of the ancestor Wu and have been taught by him.
Dangan is simple, regards her as her mother, and is omnipotent. On the other hand, although Rhonda is very good, she always seems to have hidden thoughts, which makes Wu Zu unpredictable.
Early in the morning, the brothers and sisters were called up and came to the altar deep in the mountain.
Dangan didn't think much about it, he just thought it was a routine activity, and it seemed to be the case. Wu Zu led them, offering sacrifices from morning to night, as usual.
As night fell, the altar was surrounded by darkness, and only the twelve stone pillars were lit with green yin fire.
"Langda, Dangan, you stand in the middle." Wu Zu said suddenly.
"..."
The two children didn't know why, so they stood in the middle of the altar.
When the night wind blew, the twelve yin fires flickered on and off, and the half of the rotten face looked even weirder against the yin fire. Then came a hoarse, slow voice:
"Southern Xinjiang is in a safe corner. It has fought against the northerners for hundreds of years. How many children have died under their swords just to protect their homeland. You were born in southern Xinjiang and grew up in southern Xinjiang. You are all my children. Now you have a great opportunity in On you, my people can be blessed with immortality... Are you willing?"
Rhonda didn't answer, but Dangan replied stupidly: "Of course I am willing, mother-in-law, tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Hehe, good boy, you stand there and don't move."
Wu Zu laughed twice, and poked the crutch in his hand on the ground, the ground cracked, and a jagged dead tree came out, which was the sacred tree in southern Xinjiang.
Then, she waved her hands, the dead wood seemed to be manipulated by it, the branches trembled, and bursts of crying sounded with the wind. Ruoyouuowu's mysterious aura gushed out from the altar, slowly enveloping the two of them.
"..."
Rhonda instinctively felt that something was wrong, and clenched his fists tightly, not daring to blink.
"For so many years, I have spent countless on you, and it's time for you to be loyal to Southern Border!"
Wu Zu tapped the earthen jar with his crutches, and the black blood-like substance sprayed out, all of which fell onto the dead wood. The branches of the dead wood began to twist and twist, like a devil opening its teeth and claws.
Twelve dark fires were shining brightly, and the breath on the altar was as thick as fog.
"Well… "
Dangan was wrapped in mist, showing a very painful expression.
"Little sister, what's the matter with you?"
"It hurts, brother, it hurts..."
Rhonda went over to hug her sister, but saw that Dan Gan kept shaking, his skin shrank, his muscles began to twist like snakes, and at the same time, black lines appeared.
"Little sister!"
"Well… "
Rhonda's whole body trembled suddenly, and he also felt this change. His hands and feet gradually lost control, his blood boiled, and his mind slowly emptied, as if something was about to come out of his body.
"Brother, I'm so hungry..."
"elder brother… "
"Brother, I'm so hungry, I want to eat!"
Rhonda's pupils shrank suddenly, and what stood in front of him was no longer Dan Gan, but a Yin beast covered in scales, uglier and more terrifying than any living creature in the mountain!
This thing dragged a thick black mist step by step, but Dan Gan's delicate voice was gradually approaching him.
"you!"
He turned his head abruptly, Wuzu's face was hidden in the dark fire, without the slightest bit of intolerance or pity, "This is your destiny, Rhonda..."
…
"Does Your Majesty have instructions today?"
"No instructions."
"Good guard."
"yes!"
It was another early morning, and Mingyu drove to the back mountain in a chariot, and started the routine questioning once a day. After that, the chariot returned, and everyone retreated along the way.
When he came to a passage, he stopped suddenly, but there was also a chariot blocking the way ahead.
"I've seen my mother!"
An old man in purple robe didn't get up, didn't show his face, just bowed slightly behind the curtain.
"National teachers don't need to be polite!"
Mingyu did the same, and asked, "But to visit His Majesty?"
"Exactly."
"Well, Zixu Temple is in charge of the world's Taoist temples, and now His Majesty can't retreat, the current situation is unstable, and people's hearts are turbulent. You are needed to take care of the overall situation."
"Your Majesty is absurd, the old Taoist will do his best and give way!"
As he spoke, the other party moved the chariot, and Mingyu passed by. The two never looked at each other, their words were appropriate, and their etiquette was decent, which was nothing more than normal.
But the more this was the case, the more the subordinates wiped away their sweat, and they didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they were far away.
After returning to the palace, Mingyu began to take off her clothes and make-up again, and the maid reported daily: "My lady, Taoist Mangshan has left the snowy area and is now stationed in Luzhou."
"What did he go to Luzhou for?"
"It's said that the scenery is good, and I want to have some fun."
"Ah!"
Mingyu laughed, Luzhou is the northernmost area of Qiyuan Kingdom, next to the snowy area... the scenery is beautiful, hehe, he is a smart man!
"Those two rogue cultivators have gained a lot of fame. They are patrolling around in the attracting hut, and they have to deal with any injustice. Madam, do you think they are trustworthy?"
"This is not important, the important thing is to reach a cooperation."
Mingyu paused, and said: "Wait a little longer, sooner or later they will be called to Beijing."
"The spies in the south have faith, but they are very afraid of people..."
The maid showed a bit of resentment and disgust, and said: "Those people are indeed cruel and savage. It is said that they have cultivated two witches..."
"Huh? Didn't it mean that there can only be one true witch?" Ming Yu wondered.
"That's the problem! Shengmin raised a pair of brothers and sisters just to let them devour each other. The one who wins can not only become a witch, but also absorb the blood of the other party, becoming an unprecedented great witch! It's a pity that thousands of calculations, no calculations When the child's mind was supernatural, he kept his sanity for life and escaped."
"..."
Mingyu fell silent after hearing this, and said for a long while: "The world is ruthless, and everything is a dog. All ethnic groups are struggling desperately, just for a chance of longevity, they are all poor people."
