Chapter 954
In human society, guarding the grave is a very particular matter. How to guard the parents and elders, what clothes to wear, how many years, there are a lot of red tape.
Liu Shisui has the status of a scholar, but he is a monk, so he doesn't care about these things.
Four hundred years ago in Chaotian Continent, he finished his studies in Yi Mao Zhai. After asking his teacher Bu Qiuxiao for instructions, he stayed at the tomb of his brother Xi Yiyun for three years.
Three years later, he asked Xiao He to end the business of that inn, left Qianlifenglang, and went overseas, trying to persuade Gu Qing to come back, but failed.
Then he and Xiao He returned to Guocheng Temple and lived in the vegetable garden for several years.
In the spring of the second year, Zhao Layue came and asked him to return to Qingshan.
Her original words were that Bu Qiuxiao doesn't seem to be leaving anytime soon, since you can't be the vegetarian, you might as well go back to Qingshan.
Xiao He was cooking in the kitchen, not to mention expressing her own opinion, she didn't even dare to listen to the conversation.
The vixen doesn't say that the male lead is outside and the female lead is inside. She doesn't want to beat Liu Shisui, but she is afraid of Zhao Layue.
After Jing Jiu Feisheng left, all her fear of him was transferred to Zhao Layue, and she felt uncomfortable seeing this girl, so it's better not to look at her.
Liu Shisui said: "I was expelled from the mountain gate before, and it feels strange to go back so openly."
Zhao Layue didn't take it seriously, and said: "Let Zhuo Rusui write the edict of the sect head, if you think it's inconvenient..."
Liu Shisui was about to say that it was a little inconvenient, so he listened to her next sentence.
"...Then kick Zhuo Rusui, and you will be the head of the sect. After all, you are the orthodox line of our Shenmo Peak."
Liu Shisui couldn't help feeling some sympathy for Zhuo Rusui, thinking that you shouldn't have had so many meals at Shenmo Peak back then.
At this time someone walked into the vegetable garden again, the sunlight fell through the locust tree and fell on that immature face, the brows were so pale that it was almost invisible, and he said directly: "Zhuo Rusui has a brain problem and always troubles me. If you want to replace him, do it as soon as possible, so as not to cause bigger problems in the future."
Liu Shisui didn't know what Zhao Layue and Tong Yan came to see him at the same time, guessed that they were going to discuss important matters, and asked in puzzlement, "Didn't Peng Lang write back saying that he was fine there? Are you really planning to go to the snowy field to fight as Bai Zao said?"
Zhao Layue said: "We want to discuss things after the ascension."
According to the past practice, only one Ascendant will appear in the Chaotian Continent every thousand years, and now it seems that this will inevitably be broken.
Those fairy talismans that fell from the sky and fell everywhere have solved many problems for this world.
Looking at Chaotian Continent at this time, not counting the new queen and Peng Lang in Xueyuan, the three of them and Zhuo Rusui are the most promising people in this generation.
Even so, he started to think about his ascension hundreds of years in advance, and he still seemed a little overconfident, or narcissistic.
It can only be said that they were all greatly influenced by Jing Jiu.
Tong Yan began to talk about her arrangement, and then returned to Yunmeng Mountain.
Zhao Layue and Liu Shisui said something else, and they didn't say goodbye until late at night.
Standing in front of the vegetable garden, she looked at the lights and steam in the kitchen and said, "You knew she was going to die."
Liu Shisui was silent for a long time without speaking.
...
...
Hundreds of years later, they really ascended, met again in the small vegetable garden, and then came to Guocheng Temple.
Zhao Layue sat down on the wooden floor under the corridor and said, "It seems that we did not make a mistake in our calculations, so we will see how to solve Xue Ji's problem."
Xue Ji is the most powerful existence in this universe, what problems does she need to help solve?
Zhao Layue has been sitting on the edge of the cliff staring at the girl by the hot spring, could it be related to this?
"My son used to say that history is basically repetition. After I came to this world, I found that it is true. The Patriarch and the others are no different from Taiping Daoist."
Liu Shisui went to the stone pagoda, pushed away the fallen leaves, and took out a kimchi jar.
This is a hidden link in the design of the game, and only people like him will discover it.
Zhao Layue raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Don't be obsessed."
Liu Shisui said: "I'm not in the game cabin, I know it's fake, you don't have to worry about me, I'm a little worried about Gu Qing."
Yes, the kimchi jar is fake, the kimchi is fake, the cabbage in the vegetable garden, the locust tree and mulberry tree by the field are all fake.
The little fox has been dead for several years, and the old fox has not been for many years.
Liu Shisui put the kimchi jar in a corner of the rain corridor, I believe it should be easier for people to find it.
The two walked out of the Guocheng Temple, passed through the village that still smelled of firecracker crumbs and bacon, and arrived at the bank of the East China Sea, where the night had receded.
"Gu Qing's love is deeper than yours. It is really possible to die with her, but Zhen Tao may not."
Zhao Layue's tone was very calm, as if she was commenting on a painting.
Liu Shisui knew that she was ruthless, so he was unwilling to discuss with her such matters as the depth of affection, and said, "My lord, I definitely hope that they are not dead and that they are all well."
The morning sun in the distance jumped out of the sea, as if agreeing with his statement.
...
...
The sun was setting over the sea.
The giant waved his hand, and a strong wind appeared in the sky, tearing a lot of strands from the clouds, like eating cotton candy.
The elves with transparent wings were terrified, and kept shouting and yelling at the giant's back, knowing that he had a gentle personality and wouldn't care.
The treasure ship seemed to be slow, but in fact it was sailing towards the blue sea very quickly, and quickly left these pictures and sounds behind.
A few days later, the treasure ship came to the famous secret place of Mingquan.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Gu Qing looked at the maelstrom that was beyond recognition in the distance, and listened to the thunderous sound of water, he naturally recalled those years.
Back then, Master passed out after repairing the maelstrom with supreme supernatural powers.
In the following period of time, he brought countless practitioners of various sects back and forth between land and sea, and finally completed this matter.
Empress Dowager Hu walked up to him, looked at the whirlpool in the distance, with a slight timid expression on her face, and said, "Don't let the boat get too close."
Even though she is a high-level fox demon, time has left some marks on her face, but compared with Gu Qing, whose gray hair is blown tousled by the sea breeze and with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she is obviously much younger, and even looks a bit like a match between young and old.
The current Gu Qing has long been a big man at the peak of the sky, and the two wives are also of unbelievably high level, so there is no need to worry about the treasure ship falling into the maelstrom. He knew that his wife was just showing her weakness habitually, without revealing it as in the past hundreds of years, and motioned the disciples to drive the boat away.
After passing the maelstrom, there is a windless belt, the sea is as calm as a mirror, and it is like a blue satin, until it is cut by the treasure ship like scissors. Lu Qing once again recalled some past events many years ago. At the Zhongzhou faction's Wendao Conference, everyone watched He Zhan walking on the sea in the Qingtianjian illusion...
"He Zhan probably won't show up this time." He said with some regret.
It is said that He Zhan has been living in the small temple in Baicheng all these years, and he has shown up in the practice world less often than him.
"Now that Peng Lang is in Snow Country, the queen never leaves Bingfeng, and the beast tide is gone, what else does he want to learn from Cao Yuan? Isn't it just to hide from his wife, it's too much!" Queen Mother Hu said with a sneer, "If I were Desese, I would go to Guocheng Temple to find Chanzi and sue him severely."
Lu Qing smiled, thinking that if he really wanted to file a complaint, he should go to Yimaozhai to find Bu Shengren. He Zhan's life experience and the relationship between Bu Qiuxiao, along with Jing Jiu's ascension, have already become secrets that no one knows. But that year Gu Qing was also in Chaoge City, and had been assisting his master all the time. After hundreds of years of thinking, he had already guessed part of the truth.
"Are we really going back to Qingshan?" Empress Dowager Hu said a little uncomfortably, "Send back what Ping Yongjia asked for. Why go back?"
Time can dilute many things, such as love, the smell of grilled fish, and hatred, but this matter is somewhat different after all. The dignified emperor actually eloped with the empress dowager... Even if the Jing dynasty is not as strong as before, what will the practice community think if they return to Qingshan?
What's more, those old people who are still alive remember that Gu Qing is the best candidate for the head of the Qingshan Sect in Jing Jiu's heart.
So for hundreds of years, for the sake of the Jing Dynasty and Qingshan Sect's face, Gu Qing and his two wives rarely returned to the Chaotian Continent.
The last time I went back, it was Yingcheng Xiaohe's funeral.
Back then, Xiao He's life was arranged by him according to his teacher's order. The two often corresponded and had a good friendship, and she and his wife were of the same race.
"It's been more than five hundred years, and I think it's always a little light, and such a big event, I don't feel at ease if I don't see it with my own eyes."
Gu Qing pulled the fluttering gray hair behind him, and made it into a bun with an ebony chopstick. His movements were casual, but naturally chic.
Empress Dowager Hu knew that he had made up her mind, so she stopped talking, and said, "In a few years, you can go back to Qingshan. Even if you don't want to be the master, it's quite comfortable to be the Supreme Elder in Shenmo Peak. Why stay at sea and be exposed to the wind and sun."
Lu Qing was successful in cultivating the Tao, but he was so obviously old, it was naturally deliberate.
She had never mentioned it before, and she also knew his intentions. These words meant a response.
Gu Qing knew that she didn't want to be seen by him when she was old before she died, so she smiled and said, "It's not because you are young that I like you."
Hundreds of years later, his love words are more freely.
Empress Dowager Hu spat in shame.
At this time, Zhen Tao lifted the curtain from the cabin and came out, just in time to hear Gu Qing's words, and seeing her action, she sneered and said, "What a couple of adulterers."
Empress Dowager Hu smiled, took her hand, and said, "I asked Suzhou Xishan to send some fresh loquats to Donghai, and I will peel them for you to eat."
...
...
Before the treasure ship arrived at Chaotian Continent, it first arrived at Penglai Shendao.
At the same time, at least hundreds of treasure ships came from all over the ocean to the port of this big island, which is famous for its sacred trees and shipping.
Gu Qing got off the boat with his two wives and walked towards the port. Hearing the conversations of the boatmen along the way, he realized that the fairy hadn't appeared on the sea for many years.
He thought to himself that he could not be as ruthless as his master.
When they came to a fairy house on Penglai Island, ship merchants from different continents came to report the matter one after another.
With the help of the cultivating community in Chaotian Continent, the current speed of the treasure ship is more than ten times faster than that of five hundred years ago. Those foreign continents that once appeared only in legends have gradually become the existence in front of us, and naturally became a subsidiary of Chaotian Continent.
This time, for that big event, the West Wind Continent, several other continents, and the big islands sent many rare resources over, and of course they all used treasure ships from Penglai Island. It is one thing for those ship merchants to report the matter, the main thing is to ask Gu Qing for instructions, and in the end, each country will settle the bills themselves, or it will be arranged by the Qingshan Sect.
The Green Mountain Sect has always been very clear about the arrangements for this kind of thing.
Gu Qing said solemnly: "It is an honor for Penglai Island to participate in such a big event, don't give money, or it will be too disrespectful to the Treasure Ship King."
...
...
In the end, the treasure ship king of Penglai Shendao didn't get a penny.
Zhen Tao didn't eat the legendary loquat either.
It's not that the Empress Dowager Hu broke her promise, but because their ship didn't land in the East China Sea.
A few years ago, Gu Qing took them back to Chaotian Continent to attend Xiao He's funeral. The boat was too fast to take them in for a while, and they crashed into the cliff outside Tongtianjing. In order to ensure that the ghostly spirit of the underworld would not leak out, Shuiyue Temple and Guocheng Temple put in a lot of effort, and even the underworld came to help, and finally there was no problem.
Because of this incident, Shuiyuean was very angry with Gu Qing, and this time he actually didn't allow his boat to dock.
Of course, both the disciples in Shuiyuean and the people on the treasure ship knew the real reason why Shuiyuean was angry with Gu Qing.
Who told him to abduct the most talented and promising female disciple of Shuiyue Temple back then?
Zhen Tao looked at the cliffs and mountains of the East China Sea that were getting farther and farther away, and felt a little sad.
Over five hundred years have passed, are the elders and teachers and sisters in the nunnery still unwilling to forgive themselves?
"It's okay. After a few years, when the nunnery master dies, who would dare not let you come back?" Empress Dowager Hu comforted a little clumsily.
Zhen Tao knew that she was not ill-intentioned, but she couldn't get angry, so she burst out laughing instead.
The treasure ship did not go far south before it docked, and the monks of Guocheng Temple were already waiting on the pier.
Gu Qing handed over the important thing on the boat to the current head of the lecture hall, ignored the matter, and took his two wives ashore.
The first seat in the lecture hall looked at Empress Dowager Hu hesitating to speak.
Empress Dowager Hu was also hesitant to speak, and after hesitating for a while, she said, "He still refuses to see me?"
Speaking of which, her situation is even more troublesome than Zhen Tao's.
Zhen Tao could still wait for the nunnery master to die, but she didn't want to.
Lu Qing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go back to Qingshan first."
