Chapter 875 A Small Storm
Two hours later, at the foot of a majestic mountain in the Dayan Dynasty, eight thousand miles north of Daqian.
"My dear friends, this is the sacred mountain."
A man who looked like a woodcutter stopped by a stream and said to the people behind him with a smile: "Lingmen Temple is at the top of the mountain. It will take most of the day to go up the mountain. I won't go up with you."
"good."
Chu Xianping, who was wearing a bamboo hat, nodded and shook out a piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it over: "Thank you, big brother."
"Oh, you are too polite, sir!"
His eyes lit up, and the woodcutter quickly took the silver and happily put it in his arms: "Then I will go back first. If you have nowhere to stay after you go down the mountain, you can come to my house for a night!"
"good."
Nodding again, Chu Xianping watched the woodcutter walk away, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
After traveling for more than half a month, he finally arrived at the hiding place of those Kuilong people who had learned the Tiao Yue Sword.
That’s right, it is the Buddhist holy place known as “the number one temple in the world”, Lingmen Temple.
Lingmen Temple. If Wei Changtian were here right now, he would probably be very surprised.
Because the second-ranked Son of Heaven in the system, Lin Fan, is the sweeping monk of the Scripture Pavilion of Lingmen Temple.
Of course, there is not necessarily any connection between the two things.
However, according to the bloody plot development of the "protagonist", Lin Fan will most likely meet those Kuilong people by chance, and then experience a series of coincidences, and finally successfully obtain the Tiaoyue Sword, which is currently the most powerful martial art in the world.
It is still unknown whether this is good or bad for Chu Xianping, and Wei Changtian has no way to remind the former.
After all, he himself doesn't know anything now. "Sir."
At his side, several Kuilong masters who followed Chu Xianping said in a serious manner: "We know very little about this Lingmen Temple. Why don't you wait at the foot of the mountain while we go up to find out what's going on."
".No."
Shaking his head, Chu Xianping did not hesitate at all.
He looked up at the towering mountain top and the huge golden Buddha statue faintly visible on the top of the mountain, then walked forward with a calm expression.
"Let's go."
“.”
At the same time, on the other side, in the Xinfeng Palace.
Just as Chu Xianping was walking along the rugged mountain road of Lingshan, Xu Suisui was holding a puppet pill and looking at it with a hesitant look on his face, as if he was struggling with something.
Yes, she was thinking about Qin Zhengqiu.
The latter's Moon-Picking Sword has now been pushed to perfection, and his inner demon has reached a level that would have been completely out of control if it weren't for the Jade Dew Powder.
In other words, Qin Zhengqiu now "cannot stop taking medicine" and must take Yu Lu San once every ten days.
This is undoubtedly a huge burden for Xu Suisui.
Yes, a bottle of Yu Lu San is not that expensive, it only costs 100 system points.
But Qin Zhengqiu's demand was too great. He needed three bottles a month, which was 300 points.
After the Xinfeng War ended, although Xu Suisui earned a lot of points, he could not withstand such consumption.
What's more crucial is that Xu Suisui still wants to save up 10,000 points to exchange for the item that can allow him to travel back in time, but in this way, this "ultimate goal" may never be achieved.
So. "Alas."
Gently placing the puppet pill back into the wooden box in front of him, Xu Suisui sighed.
Wei Changtian had sent her a message a few days ago telling her another method left by Chu Xianping to break the inner demon of the Tiao Yue Sword.
Take the Puppet Pill, and use the higher level of "control authority" of the Puppet Pill to indirectly suppress the inner demon Since it was Wei Changtian who said it, Xu Suisui naturally believed that this method would definitely work.
But she also knew that once she used this method to suppress her inner demons, Qin Zhengqiu would completely become a "puppet".
It is controllable, but the price is that the latter will no longer have its own consciousness.
And this is exactly why Xu Suisui is so conflicted now.
It was she who approached Qin Zhengqiu and offered to help him suppress his inner demons in exchange for the help of this "number one man in the world."
It was obvious that Qin Zhengqiu did not break his promise. He worked hard and helped Xu Suisui do countless things.
It can be said that if it weren't for Qin Zhengqiu, Xu Suisui might not be dead now, but it would be impossible for her to forcibly take the Xinfeng area from Wei Changtian and Ning Yongnian, and it would be even more impossible for her to become an empress of a country.
And now, after her goal has been achieved, is she going to "abandon" the number one hero who has become a burden? "."
Biting her lips lightly, Xu Suisui slowly closed the wooden box and shook her head bitterly.
Her action proved that she was ultimately unable to make up her mind and decided to remain "responsible" for Qin Zhengqiu until she found a better way.
But... "Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!"
Suddenly, a young eunuch ran into the study in panic, and shouted in panic under Xu Suisui's astonished gaze:
"Senior Qin, he's gone!"
“.”
"Squeak~"
In a small inn in the east of Linchuan City.
Several people walked in the corridor outside the house, and the sound of the door opening and closing mixed with the noise outside the window reached Wei Changtian's ears.
Wei Changtian, who was sitting at the table polishing his sword, knew that someone had entered Gu Paner's room, but his expression did not change at all.
Of course, it would be easy for him to eavesdrop on what was being said next door.
However, Wei Changtian had no interest in this, so he just continued to wipe the Longquan Sword.
At the same time, in the guest room next door, which was only separated by a wall, Gu Paner had politely invited a middle-aged woman and two men dressed as warriors to sit down at the table.
"Pan'er, the city is in such a mess now, the master doesn't plan to open Manxianglou anymore."
The middle-aged woman looked at Gu Paner, who was wearing a plain dress, and said directly, "You should have a good rest tonight and go to Yichunyuan early tomorrow morning."
“.”
Go to Yichunyuan.
The middle-aged woman didn't express herself very clearly, but her meaning was clear.
It is probably because Linchuan has been too chaotic recently, and the boss behind Manxianglou is not ready to continue doing this business, so he sold the indentures of all the girls in the building to a brothel called Yichunyuan.
There is nothing strange about this. After all, people who sign a contract to sell themselves are like goods. Their "ownership" is determined by the owner, and they have no right to choose.
However, Gu Paner had already planned to redeem herself, so she hurriedly said softly: "Mom, I have saved some money over the years, and now I just happened to run into such a thing, so I thought..."
"You want to redeem yourself?"
The middle-aged woman was slightly stunned, but her expression did not show surprise, and her tone even became a little kinder.
"Well, this is a good time, but..."
"Pan'er, I know you are a miserable person, and I don't want to embarrass you."
"You know the rules, but are you ready for this much money?"
"It's ready."
Gu Paner nodded repeatedly, and while searching for the package in the cabinet beside the bed, she said softly, "I have prepared five thousand taels. Four thousand five hundred taels are for redemption, and five hundred taels are to repay mother for taking care of me over the years."
"I hope mom can say a few good words for me in front of the master."
"That's easy to say. Although 4,500 taels is not enough considering your wealth, but..."
The middle-aged woman didn't expect Gu Pan'er to be so sensible. She couldn't help but smile for a moment: "But the master's family is big and powerful, I think it won't be short of the 1,800 taels. I will beg for you when the time comes!"
“.”
Having earned five hundred taels of silver, the middle-aged woman agreed readily and directly stated that she could help Gu Paner redeem her.
Under normal circumstances, Gu Paner should have said a few more words of thanks, then handed over a silver note of five thousand taels, and she would be free again in a few days.
But the middle-aged woman never got the answer she was supposed to get.
"Pan'er? What's wrong?"
Seeing that Gu Paner suddenly stopped moving, the woman couldn't help but feel a little confused.
She stood up and walked behind Gu Paner, only to find that the latter's body was trembling slightly.
"this"
Her eyes fell on the empty wooden box, and the middle-aged woman immediately understood what had happened. The kind look on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by a sarcastic sneer.
"Pan'er, it seems like you have to go to Yichunyuan."
