Chapter 571 Next step, Luo Jing!
When Gu Xu's cultivation was not high, he had always been a rather "superstitious" person.
Every time he goes out on a mission, he has to do a divination to make sure his life is not in danger before going out.
He has dabbled in methods such as Liuyao, astrology, dream divination, and turtle divination.
However, after he was promoted to a saint, he rarely used these methods.
After all, while he became a saint by the way of "subversion", he also denied the way of Ziwei Emperor's astrological destiny, denied the view that "everything is destined", and acknowledged the existence of uncertainty and free will.
Because he no longer believes in fate, when he does divination, especially when it comes to objects of equal or even greater strength, the results he gets will no longer be as accurate as in the past.
But he never regretted it.
It is precisely because of the existence of variables that there is something called "miracle" in the world, which makes it vivid and wonderful.
"Wenchang, besides He Yiqun, who are the remaining Liuji and Luma?" Gu Xu frowned slightly and asked Luo Chuan beside him.
Luo Chuan said respectfully: "Emperor, Zuo Fuxing is the former Great Qi State Master Wang Jian, right Bi Xing is the previous generation Yan Guogong Zhao Changying, Tian Kui Xing is Tian Kui Sword Master Chu Fengge, and Tian Yue Xing corresponds to Tian Yue The sword master is Shangguan Jin, and Lu Cunxing is your staff Shen Qiu... As for Wenchangxing, that is the old minister himself."
Gu Xu looked at the astrolabe again and discovered what Luo Chuan said. The main star of the human life palace does correspond to these six auspicious horses.
I have to say that when it comes to astrology and destiny, sometimes the description of people is quite accurate.
For example, Zhao Changying, the ruler of his life palace is Youbi star, which is the auxiliary star of Ziwei. It symbolizes authoritarianism, intelligence, ability, affection, upright character, good at giving, careful and strategic in doing things. Because of this, he was able to endure silently for many years for the sake of his deceased wife, playing the role of a decadent drunkard and secretly plotting a revenge plan.
But he is not a rebel leader.
After Zhao Changying proclaimed himself King of Yan, the northern border faced the dilemma of extreme shortage of supplies and numerous internal conflicts. Although Zhao Changying was a strong true king, he adhered too closely to the Zhao family's oath that "same people shall not kill each other", suppressing the voices of those who were closely aligned with the opposition, and clearing all obstacles for his daughter to ascend to the throne.
In the end, it was Gu Xu who took action and sent one Zhao Changqi and Zhao Yu to the dungeon and the other to the Elephant Gu Hall, which helped Zhao Yan establish the absolute authority of King Yan.
In Gu Xu's opinion, Zhao Changying is sometimes too upright, his heart is not black enough, and his hands are not ruthless enough. He cares too much about family responsibility and brotherly loyalty, and ignores that many people in the world are mercenary.
If Gu Xu were in the same position today, he would be able to think of more than one way to kill Zhao Changqi and his son without breaking his oath, and then throw the blame on the Da Qi Dynasty. He even went to the funeral of Zhao Changqi and his son with tears, saying, "Qi State killed my brother and my nephew, and I am incompatible with it."
And now, after Zhao Changying was relieved of Dayan's burden, he seemed to suddenly be twenty years younger. Recently, he likes to lead a team of elite monks to go deep alone to conquer cities and territories for Daxia, and then, like a child, he competes with other true kings, saints and strong men all day long to see whose contribution is greater.
Even Zhao Yan couldn't help but complain to Gu Xu sometimes: "My father is simply more childish than a five-year-old child."
I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, Luochuan missed an important star.
"What about Wenqu?" Gu Xu asked.
"Wen Quxing is Lu Shiyao, the previous owner of Jinghong Pen." Luo Chuan replied.
Hearing this name, Gu Xu's face remained calm, but his heart couldn't help but tremble for a moment.
"Oh, didn't she die many years ago?"
"Emperor, your Jinghong pen has the imprint of her fate," Luo Chuan explained, "Because the Jinghong pen has The first owner, Lu Zhiyuan, the ancestor of the Lu family, was also born in Wenquxing, so although Miss Lu died, her destiny still remained in this magical artifact and became its spirit." Gu Xu said silently. He stood and said nothing.
He remembered that when he was still an official in Yishui County, Luo Chuan tried every means to persuade him to solve the case of the Lu family's haunted house, making him a Jinghong pen new owner.
He then remembered that when he was cornered by the pursuers of the Daqi Dynasty, neither Luochuan nor the "Qing Ming" organization provided him with any help, so he could only climb up Yishan Mountain to find Xue Nu as a bodyguard. .
Then Yuki-onna spontaneously ignites her soul and dies in order to save him.
Looking through the memories of Emperor Ziwei again... Gu Xu deeply felt once again that Emperor Ziwei's layout was like a giant network, penetrating into every aspect and moment of his past experience. If he hadn't fought to the death on the top of Kunlun Mountain, Emperor Ziwei would have occupied his body by now, flaunting his power and showing off his power in front of others.
“Now that the time is ripe,” Gu Xu finally said after a long period of silence, “then let’s prepare to attack Luo Jing!”
…………
Seven days later, the Xia army occupied the entire Lianghu Province and formed a siege from the north to the south of the Zhili Province where Luojing City is located.
Half a month later, Nanyang and Runing announced their surrender to Daxia.
A month later, Zhao Changying and Xu Man each led a team of monks to capture Zhangde Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion in the northern part of Zhili Province-these two had enmity with the Daqi Dynasty. The strong ones, as if they were competing recently, were all working hard to beat the Qi army to death, and no one was willing to fall behind even a little bit.
Faced with the Xia army's pressing step by step, the Daqi Dynasty repeatedly gave in and never organized a large-scale counterattack.
The defenders in many places even took the initiative to withdraw to Luojing City, leaving the empty city to Gu Xu.
In this regard, Gu Xu did not dare to let down his guard at all.
He believed that Emperor Tianxing would never give up the wilderness to him easily.
And recently, he found that he could no longer see what was happening in Luojing Imperial City through the astrolabe - a layer of disturbing fog appeared in his vision, shrouding Zi Chen The sky above the palace.
"Emperor Tianxing must be planning a big move," Gu Xu secretly thought to himself, "I must be fully prepared and must not be careless."
…………
Before attacking Luo Jing, he still had one important thing to do.
"Pavilion Master Xu," that day, he found Xu Man who was practicing swordplay on the edge of the cliff, and said to her seriously, "I promised you that I would help you kill the Ghost King of Mangshan and avenge your Senior Brother Hu.
“Now, it’s time to keep my promise. "
Hearing his words, Xu Man sheathed the sword in her hand, but she herself seemed to have turned into a sword out of her body, exuding sharp murderous aura.
"Emperor, shall we set off now? "She cupped her fists towards Gu Xu.
Gu Xu nodded and took the lead in tearing the void and disappearing in place.
Xu Man followed closely behind.
