Chapter 205 Prophecy
Gu Xu never expected that two superior saints would argue in front of him over such a trivial matter as tea and wine.
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: "I'm sorry, Duke of Yan, I've been in poor health since I was a child and can't 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 and take concubines and carry on the family line in the future, so they need to be stronger."
At this point, he paused for two seconds and then continued: "It happened that someone gave me some Huangjing recently. I don’t need it. I’ll ask someone to send it to your place later to help you replenish your body.”
Gu Xu wanted to be polite, but when he saw the domineering look on Yan Guogong Zhao Changying’s face, he couldn’t refuse. He had to nod and said: "Thank you so much, Lord Duke!"
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 faintly.
Zhao Changying shook his head, sighed and said: "The 'Third Fierce God'...or the old Kongxuan Sanren. He is not good at anything else, but his escape skills are the best in the world. I have searched all over Qingzhou. No trace of him could be found in the government, as if he had evaporated from the 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 saying she was a female ghost, she was more like a fairy descending 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. < br>
“After that, I originally planned to return to Youzhou to recuperate, but then I thought that the Luoshui Conference was about to be held, so I simply came to the capital. "
Hearing his words, Luo Chuan frowned slightly: "Is the Snow Girl so strong? I can actually get a tie with 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." Zhao Changying, Duke of Yan State, laughed at himself and drank the wine in the bowl again. "To tell you the truth, of course. After I advanced to the seventh realm, my cultivation has never made any breakthrough. Among the five saints in Daqi, I don’t know who is the strongest, but I must be the weakest. "
"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 know the formation and can't break her barrier, but I believe that your exorcism 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 attentively.
Luo Chuan’s eyes suddenly became extraordinarily deep, as if he saw the distant future through the endless river of time.
He pondered for a moment and smiled: "No need for the time being. A ghost like Yuki-onna who can save people in disasters is rare in a century. It would be a pity to kill her. It's better to keep her for a while, maybe she can come in handy after the long night falls. ”
Duke Yan smiled: "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 be responsible."
Then he poured it for himself again. After taking a bowl of wine, he 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 the spirit of the emperor in the northeast', such as 'the four barbarians gather in Longdouye, When the sun rises, fire dominates. For example, "The palace is set on 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 this? I suspect someone wants to harm me."< br>
"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 Xing, King Chen Sheng", such as "Gong Mang of the Anhan Dynasty" For the emperor", such as "Liu Xiu sent troops to arrest Bu Dao, and spent gold and cultivate virtue to become the emperor", such as "Mo Dao, a stone man with one eye, instigated rebellion across the Yellow River"... They are all used by rulers or those seeking power to create public opinion, A powerful weapon to 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 is 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 emperor energy 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 twenty-eighth emperor of the Daqi Dynasty.
"When the four or seven are exhausted, the sun and the moon have no light", it 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.
“These prophecies are now 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 a clear mind. To distinguish between loyal and traitorous people, as long as you really have no disloyal intentions, it is impossible for him to blame you for these absurd rumors."
"I hope so," Zhao Changying sighed and muttered again. Pouring a large bowl of strong liquor into his stomach, "Luochuan, you should know very well how someone like me, whose cultivation has been stagnant for nearly twenty years, can be so courageous..."
< br>Luochuan 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 exquisitely crafted paper from his arms and handed it to Gu Xu with both hands.
"Gu Xiaoyou, this is your appointment letter."
