If the monsters practice properly, it would take at least several hundred years, if not thousands of years. So how could they be willing to become mortals who are like mayflies in their eyes?

"What a fool." Gu Lingze said to Huang Shulang.

Now he has to rely on himself to dissolve the things in Nirvana, and Gu Lingze can't help.

When the morning light was just beginning to rise, Xu Mingyan had to go to court, but he still couldn't feel at ease.

"Brother Xu, don't worry. Cheng Mo and I are here. We promise to turn you into a lively little fool."

After Xu Mingyan went to court, looking back every few steps, Gu Lingze's face became serious.

Seeing this, Zhao Chengmo asked, "Is the situation bad?"

Gu Lingze neither nodded nor shook his head, he just wiped his face and said: "Huang Shulang's situation this time is really different from Li Jin's. I have never seen this thing called Nirvana before."

He once tried to input spiritual energy into the other party, but failed. It was as if there was an invisible barrier blocking him, so he had no idea about Huang Shulang's situation.

During this period, Aunt Tao came in and delivered a meal. She knew that Huang Shulang was sick and they couldn't help much, so although they cared, they didn't come to disturb him.

Three days passed in a flash. Although Huang Shulang did not have as high a fever as before, he was still in a deep sleep.

Xu Mingyan had been guarding day and night, but unexpectedly the emperor issued an order to go on an autumn hunt outside the capital, and all civil and military officials had to accompany him. Now Zhao Chengmo and Xu Mingyan had to go.

Unexpectedly, just one day later, Xu Mingyan was sent back lying down.

Xu Mingyan actually fell off his horse while riding and was in critical condition.

The person was escorted back by Zhao Chengmo himself, and Gu Lingze rushed to Mu Tao Courtyard as soon as he got the news.

After he arrived, he quickly checked Xu Mingyan's injuries. During the process, his expression suddenly changed.

"You guys go out first. I need to undress Brother Xu for inspection."

Aunt Tao was helped out by Uncle Xu with tears in her eyes. After everyone else left, Zhao Chengmo closed the door from the outside.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Xu Mingyan immediately opened his eyes.

Gu Lingze lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Xu, what do you mean?"

Xu Mingyan looked at him and said, "Lingze, do me a favor."

Gu Lingze opened the door with a heavy face, and Uncle Xu and others hurried over to greet him.

"Lingze, is Mingyan okay?"

Gu Lingze sighed, "Brother Xu's injuries are only minor. He will recover after applying some medicine. It's just..."

"Just what?!" Aunt Tao asked anxiously.

"It's just that Brother Xu fell off his horse and was injured... fundamentally. I'm afraid it will have a great impact on his offspring in the future."

Uncle Xu and Aunt Tao's faces turned pale. "Lingze, don't you have any way to cure it?"

Gu Lingze shook his head in embarrassment and just sighed.

Aunt Tao's head buzzed, her whole body went limp, and she fell directly into Uncle Xu's arms.

"Auntie!"

Xu Mingyan heard the noise in the room, clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes turned red from endurance.

"Father and mother, I am an unfilial son."

If he didn't do so, his parents would never agree to let him marry Shulang. If he insisted on marrying him, he was afraid that his parents and Shulang would not be able to get along well.

Xu Mingyan was distressed for a long time and couldn't make up his mind, but when he saw Huang Shulang dying, he finally decided to be selfish for once.

After Gu Lingze gave Aunt Tao acupuncture, he turned to Xu Mingyan and told him that Aunt Tao was just anxious for a moment and was not seriously ill, so that he could rest assured.

Gu Lingze saw that he looked really bad and was just about to say a few words of comfort when Zhao Chengmo walked in.

"Lingze, there seems to be some movement over there."

When Gu Lingze arrived, Huang Shulang seemed to be in great pain, with cold sweat all over his head and gasping for breath.

He tried to input spiritual energy into the other party, but it was blocked back just like before.

Gu Lingze had no choice but to watch over him.

The guard lasted until the evening, and Huang Shulang finally regained consciousness.

Gu Lingze looked at the red mole on his forehead, held his head with his hand and said with a headache: "You have really screwed your old man."

——

Zhao Chengmo was only responsible for sending Xu Mingyan back, and he had to go back early tomorrow morning, so Gu Lingze hurriedly dragged him back home.

After Zhao Chengmo finished his shower, he pushed the door open and saw Gu Lingze kneeling on the bed with a sly smile on his face.

As soon as she saw him come in, she hooked her finger at him and said, "Come here, let me show you one of my treasures!"

Then Zhao Chengmo saw the treasure he had mentioned.

A thick, long, black...

Tree branches.

"Although Huang Shulang is stupid, he is really a lucky little star!"

Gu Lingze, with a gleam in his eyes, was completely different from the person who had just complained about the fool on the way home.

Zhao Chengmo looked at Gu Lingze who was excited, raised the corners of his lips and shook his head.

Even though he had a rich imagination, he had no idea why his lover was so excited about a piece of burnt branch.

Gu Lingze saw his expression and said with some pride: "Young master, let me explain to you. This is the most precious treasure of my Taoist family, the Thunder Struck Wood, which has the innate function of suppressing evil spirits and warding off evil."

He raised the branch in his hand and said, "Now, I can loosen up that bastard Cheng Jiao's bones."

Gu Lingze raised his eyebrows proudly, "Well, I'm lucky..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhao Chengmo suddenly grabbed her slender waist.

Looking at the handsome face that was magnified in front of him, Gu Lingze asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"

"I wonder if this young master would be willing to spend the night with me."

When he woke up the next day, Zhao Chengmo was gone.

"This bastard, if he has the guts, just do it. He cut the vegetables but didn't fry them. What kind of man is he?" Gu Lingze complained while getting dressed.

"What man?" Xie Qingwan pushed the door open and asked with a smile.

"Uh, nothing." Gu Lingze laughed dryly and tried to just fool him.

Xie Qingwan put the tray in her hand on the table and said, "Come down and have breakfast."

Gu Lingze was drinking porridge when he suddenly remembered that there was someone he had ignored for a long time.

"Mom, is Qi Yixuan still alive?"

Xie Qingwan was slightly stunned, and then she told the story that followed.

It was three days later when Emperor Jing returned to the court with civil and military officials.

Gu Lingze finally researched the most primitive method of making landmines, and immediately handed it over to Gu Feirui and others, asking them to try to make a few first.

He used the rest of the time to make the wooden sword. The key point was that the raw material, lightning-struck wood, was too precious. It would hurt Gu Lingze to waste even a bit of it, so he made it slower and slower.

Hearing that he was going to deal with Cheng Jiao's body today, Zhao Chengmo, Gu Xiuyi and Gu Feirui all rushed back, and the four-man team set out again.

Gu Lingze originally thought that the place where Cheng Jiao's body was placed should be a secret place, but he didn't expect it to be in the palace.

After meeting Emperor Jing, Dai Zhengqi took them to a very remote palace. Gu Lingze frowned when he looked at this dilapidated place.
