Chapter 257: Old Friends Reminisce After Everyone Gathers

Back at Xu's house, Gu Zhou took off his clothes and lay down on the bed. He turned sideways and looked at Qi Jing who had crawled into the quilt, "Uncle."

"Um?"

"Why doesn't Aiduo have a marriage destiny?" Gu Zhou was very curious about this. Normally, even if people don't get married, they can still have a fleeting romance, but Aiduo is very strange. She really has no marriage destiny at all.

Qi Jing turned around and hugged Gu Zhou, burying his head in Gu Zhou's neck and rubbing it. "The bride of the mountain god cannot marry a human being, nor can she fall in love with him."

Gu Zhou paused with his raised hand, and hesitated for two seconds before placing his hand on the back of Qi Jing's head. "I was wondering why that mountain god stayed at Aiduo's house and refused to leave. So that's what happened."

"It's fate, I guess. The mountain god has used up too much of his energy, so it'll take a long time for him to find a wife."

"Let's make it clear. I think Aiduo is more interested in making money than falling in love. I'm sure she'll be able to wait."

Qi Jing hummed vaguely twice, "I'm going to sleep. I'm sleepy."

"Go to sleep, go to sleep. I'll put up a talisman so you won't be disturbed this time."

Qi Jing fell asleep contentedly and slept until ten o'clock in the morning.

After they packed up, Aiduo and his daughter were also there. They came specially to thank them and brought a lot of things.

Fruits, snacks, milk and other things are part of their gift-giving habits. Gu Zhou did not refuse, after all, there is a foodie at home.

Ai Ping seemed to be in much better spirits, and his lethargy was gone. He was just a little sick due to physical reasons, but he would get better slowly.

Gu Zhou exchanged a few words with them, then politely declined the offer of farewell and walked away from the small path, carrying a large pile of things.

Xu Zhiyi accompanied them all the way to a remote place. Seeing that there was no one around, Gu Zhou took out a spell card and handed it to him.

"You still have a lot to go on. Take it well. If you are in danger, hold the talisman and call my name in your heart."

Xu Zhiyi took the spell card and agreed, "I'll treat you guys to dinner when we get back."

"Okay, we'll contact each other then." Gu Zhou took out the teleportation talisman and disappeared with the people on the spot under the watchful eyes of a man and a ghost.

Qi Mo was the only one in the hotel room. When he saw them, his eyebrows raised slightly, "It works well?"

"New research, isn't it amazing?" Gu Zhou said proudly, putting everything in his hands on the coffee table, and looked around again, "Where are Huo Yuanqi and Xiaoqi?"

Qi Mo replied, "I'm so carsick I'm still resting."

Qi Jing picked up the snacks on the coffee table and started eating them. He also reached out and hugged Yunbao, a happy scene of a big and a small.

Zhao Yin felt the aura coming directly through the wall. Seeing Meng Yuan, he couldn't help but turn around and asked, "How did you get into this state?"

Meng Yuan answered truthfully, making Zhao Yin laugh. "No wonder my uncle said you were immortal. It turns out this is the way to immortality."

Meng Yuan was reminded of this and remembered that Qi Jing had indeed said that he would live a long life, but he had never imagined that he would live this long.

All eyes instantly fell on Qi Jing. He paused in unpacking his snacks and said, "Why are you looking at me? I don't know what I'm doing."

"What's happening, Imperial Master?" Meng Yuan was curious. He didn't know anything before Qi Jing left, so he didn't know why Qi Jing had lost his memory and his personality had changed a lot.

Zhao Yin spread his hands and said, "I have lost my memory. I don't remember you or me at all."

Meng Yuan nodded, "But how could the amnesia be so severe? I was so scared when I met the Dog Imperial Master in the village yesterday that I cried."

Qi Jing was very unhappy when he heard this. "What's wrong with me being afraid of dogs? I don't want you to hold me or coax me!"

"That's right! I held him and coaxed him!" Gu Zhou agreed, reached out to pick up Qi Jing and held him in his arms, and kissed him on the lips.

Seeing that he also wanted a kiss, Yunbao pouted and moved closer to Qi Jing's face, but Gu Zhou covered her mouth with his, "Mine! You can't."

Yunbao was immediately unhappy and screamed, wanting to fight with Gu Zhou.

Meng Yuan quickly took her back and let Yunbao throw a tantrum in his arms, being very difficult to coax.

Zhao Yin then noticed Yunbao and took a closer look. "Why is Yunbao like this?"

Meng Yuan sighed and explained again, leaving Zhao Yin speechless. "I'm afraid Madam Meng will be heartbroken for you guys."

Meng Yuan didn't answer. It had been a thousand years. Even if he could reincarnate, he would have forgotten him long ago. Now all he had was Yunbao and the thoughts of a thousand years ago.

Zhao Yin also knew what to do and didn't say much. Instead, he asked, "When were you struck by lightning?"

"It's probably the tenth year since His Highness passed away."

Zhao Yin looked as if he understood, then looked at Qi Jing.

Meeting everyone's gazes, Qi Jing felt weak and said, "I definitely didn't mean it!"

"That's not it. I was struck by lightning at that time, too. But I was a ghost at the time and had a magic weapon, so I blocked it." Zhao Yin explained, "I remember there were several thunderbolts that fell, and Lord Meng and I were both hit. The probability of this happening is too low."

Zhao Yin's words undoubtedly confirmed Gu Zhou's guess. "So, who else did my uncle have close interactions with a thousand years ago? Have you met any acquaintances in your thousand years on earth?"

They both shook their heads, and Meng Yuan said, "I have been in that cave the entire time and have never left that hilltop."

"Although I've been with Xiao Qi, he's been in poor health for several reincarnations and hasn't traveled far. The only one who noticed anything unusual was Xuan Men. Gu Xuanyi's Taoism is the same as my uncle's."

Zhao Yin paused and added, "There's one more thing. My uncle disappeared. After the Heavenly Dao cut off the path to cultivation in the human world, cultivation in the human world gradually disappeared until the Xuanmen appeared."

Qi Mo felt strange, "Is this also related to my uncle?"

"I guess the Heavenly Dao didn't want its secrets to be pried into, so gradually even the spiritual energy between heaven and earth disappeared."

Zhao Yin's speculation made the atmosphere in the room solemn, especially for Gu Zhou. "So, my uncle's opponent has always been this Heavenly Dao?"

"Not necessarily. It's certain that my uncle knows Tiandao, but it's hard to say whether they're enemies or friends." Zhao Yin recalled, "It feels like they dislike each other, but not enemies."

This is complicated. Gu Zhou raised his hand and pressed Qi Jing's head. Qi Jing's main soul was still sealed, so it was difficult for them to guess.

Fortunately, Qi Jing's soul had returned to its place briefly when he broke the seal of the Jade Tripod before, and he told Gu Xuanyi the method to return his soul to its place. Now they just have to wait until that day, and all their confusion will naturally be solved.

Gu Zhou didn't dwell on this anymore. "Let's talk about Huo Yuanqi's problem first. Do you know his exact location?"

Zhao Yin shook his head. "There was a barrier, and for some reason it suddenly opened, allowing that puppeteer to sneak in. Huo Yan had to follow the aura of the formation book to find it. I only know where they left."

"Let's go take a look tomorrow and talk about it when we get there."

No one else had any objections, so Zhao Yin took Meng Yuan directly to the suite where Xiao Qi lived to reminisce about the past after not seeing each other for a thousand years.

Qi Mo didn't leave. He waited until everyone had left before asking, "Is Yuan Qi's problem serious?"

"What's wrong? Is second brother worried?" Gu Zhou joked. This was the first time Qi Mo asked in such a long time.

Qi Jing also laughed and pointed at Qi Mo's wrist and said, "It's getting thicker and thicker."
