Chapter 400: God-given auspiciousness, people’s hearts are no longer the same

"oh?"

Gu Dan ate the roasted sweet potato in a few bites. He was mentally prepared, so he was not surprised. After all, it had been a long time since Zheng Fei "saw" that scene.

"Where are you from?"

Gu Dan asked.

"Yuzhou came here from Daqi. The Yulong Guards have already made contact with him. He is not a cultivator from the Xia Dynasty, but a Taoist sect called Guizang Valley. His strength is not that high, only in the middle stage of Qi training."

Emperor Qizhi slowed down his breathing and spoke as methodically as possible.

However, with the improvement of his vision, Emperor Xia is no longer a person who knows nothing about the way of immortality. A cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training would find it difficult to defeat even a grandmaster. If it comes to personal matters, it is not enough to make Emperor Xia take it seriously.

What is really worth noting is the other party’s Taoist tradition, Gui Zang Valley.

Generally speaking, this is the first time that the Xia Dynasty has dealt with monks with Taoist orthodoxy. It doesn't matter who the other party is. What matters is the attitude of the Taoist orthodoxy towards the secular dynasty.

A glimpse of the whole picture can reveal a lot. It is not too much to be cautious when making such a first contact.

With the first one, there will soon be the second and the third. It is no longer realistic for the Xia Dynasty to stand alone and grow stronger without competing with the world. It is necessary to adjust its national policy according to different situations.

As the Emperor of Xia, he could only act as a "messenger" and run to the Gu family courtyard to inform them of the news. After all, Gu Dan did not like outsiders to barge in at will.

Especially after learning the news of the immortal's descent to the mortal world, the fewer people who know of his existence, the better. His great body has not yet been formed, so it is not appropriate for him to show up in public now.

In fact, even if the immortal really came to the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty, Gu Dan was not going to show up.

He has made the necessary preparations. If the Xia Dynasty is not in danger of collapse, there is no need for him to take any further action.

If there is really a danger of collapse and he is unable to change it, then he can only keep a few seeds for the time being, and wait until he has achieved success in his practice to avenge the Xia Dynasty.

Of course, this is only the worst plan. The Xia Dynasty advocated benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and law. Compared with other countries, the domestic atmosphere was far ahead and the most upright.

Logically speaking, the Xia Dynasty did not have too many risks, and internal environmental factors can almost be ruled out.

In addition, the Xia Dynasty has more than 500 cultivators. Although their strength is not very strong, they are still one step ahead. If there are not more than ten foundation-building cultivators, the Xia Dynasty will not be in any danger.

If this is not enough to avoid disaster, then it can only be said that the immortals really have no shame at all. Reason cannot make people understand, so they can only exercise their fists.

"In the middle stage of Qi training, the strength is indeed average."

Gu Dan nodded slightly, agreeing with Emperor Qizhi's inference. Among the more than 500 cultivators in the Xia Dynasty, more than ten of them were promoted to the late stage of Qi training after receiving the spiritual plant reward.

"Then what do you think? Should we invite them to the imperial capital first? From the news conveyed by the Fish Dragon Guards, we know that they are indeed here for the opportunity."

Emperor Qizhi asked carefully.

"Let's wait a little longer. Now that the first family has come to the Xia Dynasty, people from other forces will soon come to the Xia Dynasty. It would be too troublesome to discuss with each family one by one, and there is a possibility of being deceived.

When the forces in the Xia Dynasty have almost gathered, we can invite them over in the name of Emperor Xia to discuss the matter together. It will not be difficult to see who is strong and who is weak. "

Gu Dan still gave an answer.

It's not that Emperor Qizhi couldn't figure out these things, but since they involved matters of "immortals", he couldn't help feeling uneasy. He hoped that his elder Gu Dan would help him make a decision so that he could feel more confident.

"You don't have to be too nervous. The Xia Dynasty has survived many ups and downs and will not be destroyed because of some trivial matters. When facing those cultivators, you should show some confidence so that you can have a better negotiation."

Gu Dan comforted him.

"yes."

Emperor Qizhi nodded repeatedly, like a child listening to a lecture, but his temples were already turning white, and he was no longer young.

"Go, go. Just do what needs to be done. I will watch everything. Even if things cannot be reversed, the Xia Dynasty will not perish."

In the end, Gu Dan gave an almost cold answer.

It is also the most sincere guarantee.

"I see."

Emperor Qizhi understood Gu Dan's meaning. He straightened his back and walked out of the small courtyard. He was the emperor of the Xia Dynasty.

The fate of the Xia Dynasty is in his hands, but the Xia Dynasty will not be destroyed in his hands.

Do it your way and be bold.

In the end, someone will also cover the bottom line.

The worst outcome is simply changing the name of the company.

After Emperor Qizhi left, Zheng Fei on the side seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What do you want to say?"

Gu Dan looked over and asked.

"Mr. Gu, you and the Xia Dynasty have a deep connection, right?"

Zheng Fei asked cautiously.

He was not clear about Gu Dan's origins. In fact, since Shang died, only Emperor Qizhi in the entire Xia Dynasty knew about Gu Dan's influence on the Xia Dynasty.

In Zheng Fei's eyes, Gu Dan was somewhat like the legendary master who protected the country, and one of an extremely high generation.

But Mr. Gu looked extremely young, almost younger than him.

Considering the situation that made Emperor Qizhi so cautious and even eager to come here to inquire about every important matter, Mr. Gu's identity should not be that simple.

He wasn't sure whether this was a taboo, so he was very careful when asking.

"Yes, very deep."

After thinking for a moment, Gu Dan laughed.

Of course it’s deep.

Most of the people he knew had spent their entire lives working on this land.

Born here, raised here, and finally return to the hometown.

If not for this, he would not have returned to the Xia Dynasty immediately after the drastic changes in heaven and earth.

Xia Chao does indeed carry some of his emotions, including memories of the past.

"Then, will you fight for the Xia Dynasty?"

Zheng Fei asked curiously.

"You have to know why you are fighting. Fighting is always the last resort. Of course, I understand what you mean. If you mean that a strong man is shameless enough to attack Xia Chao, will I take action, right?"

Gu Dan asked.

Zheng Fei scratched his head, "I'm not doubting you"

"If I can beat him, I will do it."

Gu Dan interrupted Zheng Fei and said, "If I can't win, I will leave the seeds of the Xia Dynasty. When I can win in the future, I will avenge the former Xia Dynasty.

As for the conventional sense of 'staying with the Xia Dynasty', I certainly won't. Because as long as I am here, the Xia Dynasty will not perish."

Gu Dan is quite confident.

Perhaps Zheng Fei could not understand this confidence.

After all, the perspective of the immortals is different from that of ordinary people.

Disagreements are natural and natural.

Decades of enthusiasm and momentary pleasure are not things that can be possessed at will after all.

Gu Dan is not shy about talking about these things, as the truth becomes clearer the more it is debated.

Isn't this kind of conversation a kind of spiritual practice to enlighten one's mind and see one's nature? He likes Xia Chao, is happy to stay in Xia Chao, and doesn't mind giving Xia Chao some help.

But asking him to sacrifice his life for the Xia Dynasty would be putting the cart before the horse.

Only because of him could the Xia Dynasty continue to prosper.

Cannot be reversed.

Yuzhou.

In a very luxuriously decorated post station.

Cui Hao looked out the window at the busy scene below and fell into deep thought.

As a monk of Guizang Valley, he knew that his strength was too low and it was inconvenient for him to compete with his fellow disciples, including others. So he just kept on traveling since he came to the lower world.

I don't ask for anything in one place, I just want to run farther and have fewer competitors.

People with strength can explore a territory, and people with less strength also have their own strategies.

He chose not to compete with others for the time being, but to look for a new location and compete in a different way.

Now it seems that he succeeded.

Because not far from this post station, there was a fenced-off field.

There is also a big stone next to it.

The four characters "Heaven-sent Auspiciousness" are inscribed on it, so prominent that it is hard not to see them.

There is no doubt that there is a spiritual treasure there.

Moreover, it is a spiritual treasure that has already grown to maturity, is in good condition, and has not been damaged.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This situation undoubtedly greatly facilitated his own search, and it would have been disrespectful to refuse it.

After all, it is a spiritual object, and only those who are destined to have it can obtain it.

How can ordinary people understand the preciousness of spiritual plants? It is simply ridiculous to leave them for ordinary people to appreciate, and they don't understand their true value.

He only needs to use some magic to make the enemy bow down in worship.

Then it would be easy to capture Lingzhen.

It’s a beautiful imagination.

But just as he was performing magic to reveal his immortal identity, a guy who claimed to be the [Fish Dragon Guard] appeared beside him.

His strength is actually at the middle stage of Qi training!

He also praised the purity of his magic.

Even Cui Hao can’t do it.

Which immortal sect does Yulongwei belong to?

He really doesn't know, he has never heard of this!

However, as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, and the other party's strength is no less than his, so naturally he would speak in a nice tone first.

Then he was invited to this post station.

It’s true that the scenery of this post station is quite nice. At a glance, you can see the Lingzhen circled not far away, as well as the people of the Xia Dynasty who are visiting the "auspicious sign".

Half a month later, he was no longer as confused as when he first arrived.

At least now he knew that this was the Xia Dynasty, and the Yulong Guard was a special organization of the Xia Dynasty, not the immortal sect as he had thought.

In the past half month, several monks from the Yulong Guard came to see him. The strongest one was in the late stage of Qi training, which was much higher than his cultivation! Cui Hao could only smile and wait for the hospitality. He stayed in this post station for more than half a month.

Every day we drink and have fun, with plenty of food and drink, and dancers to keep us company, so we don't feel lonely at all.

The only bad thing is that he hasn't caught a spiritual plant in the Xia Dynasty yet.

This can't go on any longer!

Cui Hao stared at the spiritual plant outside the window for a long time.

Cui Hao, ah Cui Hao, you are here to look for spiritual plants and opportunities, how can you indulge in pleasure?

How can one make any progress in cultivation if this is the case? Cui Hao opened the door.

As soon as I walked downstairs, a member of the Yulong Guard came over and greeted me warmly.

"Brother Cui! I was just looking for you. Today, Miss Xixi from Wangyue Tower will have a very grand dance. You must watch it."

The man walked over warmly and grabbed Cui Hao's hand.

"Hey, hey, hey, Brother Li, I've already treated you a lot these days. I really..."

Cui Hao was about to resist.

As a result, two monks from the Fish Dragon Guard came down from upstairs. "What? Miss Xixi's dance? Come on! To die under the peony flowers is to be a romantic ghost. Today we are going to feast our eyes."

Without further ado, he took Cui Hao away.

By the time the drunk Cui Hao returned to the room, the moon was already high in the sky.

There was still rouge on her face that had not been wiped off.

After washing his face with clean water, Cui Hao lay on the bed and couldn't help but recall the past.

Miss Xixi's taste is really good, really good.

No, Cui Hao, you are here to do this? !

Tomorrow, tomorrow this cannot go on!

The next day, the sky was bright.

After washing up, Cui Hao walked downstairs carefully, trying not to make any noise.

As a result, as soon as one foot stepped down the stairs, a fish dragon guard who was sleeping in the lobby opened his eyes and his eyes lit up.

"Brother Cui, you woke up so early? It seems you didn't have enough fun yesterday! Could it be that Miss Xixi is just a name for nothing?"

The Fish Dragon Guard asked with a wink.

"No, no."

Cui Hao waved his hands repeatedly, "Miss Xixi is worthy of her reputation, there is absolutely no falsehood!"

"That's good. I was just saying that Miss Xixi sent someone to deliver the invitation early in the morning. If Brother Cui is unhappy, it would be a waste of the girl's kindness."

A member of the Fish Dragon Guard came over and said, "We are also lucky enough to have a sip of soup with Brother Cui."

On the morning of the third day, Cui Hao, with unsteady steps, walked up the stairs to the room.

When I woke up again, it was already night.

Looking at the lights of thousands of homes outside the window and the lantern hanging next to Lingzhen, Cui Hao slapped himself twice in anger.

"Cui Hao, Cui Hao, what are you doing? Do you want to stay in the Qi training realm for the rest of your life? How can you be so depraved? Although beauty is great, you can't linger on her for too long!"

Cui Hao gritted his teeth.

It seems that it is difficult to enter through the main gate.

When he reached the edge of the river, Cui Hao made a gesture with his hands and, with the help of a breeze, he jumped down and wanted to use this opportunity to escape.

Who would have thought that just as the man came down and before he hit the ground, he saw a familiar member of the Yulong Guard running towards him.

"Brother Cui, what are you doing?"

The man asked in confusion.

"Ahem, the moonlight is nice today, so I wanted to go out for a walk. But going through the main entrance will inevitably disturb my brothers, so I found a convenient way for myself."

Cui Hao said with a forced smile.

Damn, we can see each other so late at night, right?

"Oh? I see. I saw that Brother Cui was very tired today, so I didn't call you. It's just right that the brothers can take advantage of the nice night to have a boat ride on the lake. Brother Cui, come quickly!"

The Fish Dragon Guard did not question his words, but took his hand enthusiastically, "Come on, come on, we must have fun today."

Cui Hao: “.”

There were so many entertainment activities in the Xia Dynasty!

If this continues, will he be able to dig up a spiritual plant this year?

If people don’t take care of themselves properly, they will be ruined!

Cui Hao had no choice but to break free from his hand and said, "To be honest, I am very grateful for your hospitality these days. However, it is not in accordance with the sect's rules to stay in one place all the time. So, do you think we can go to the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty first?"
