Chapter 49 The Taoist Priest Ran Away
"In addition to Huang Chao, Qingpingzi of Qingfeng Temple is also a martial arts master! The White Lotus Sect's White Lotus Master, as well as several old and frail martial arts masters who once made a great name for themselves in the martial arts world, all showed up."
The alchemist had bewitched Emperor Zong Ming for more than twenty years. With the emperor as his backer, it was not surprising that he was able to produce a martial arts master at any cost.
Gong Shangguo added: "Even martial arts masters have their own gaps. Except for Huang Chao who came out of nowhere and was quite difficult to deal with, the other masters were no match for Brother Mo and were eventually forced to retreat.
We got about 20% of the immortal stones this time. Huang Chao arrived earlier, so I'm afraid he got as much as we did. The White Lotus Sect has a large number of people and has been lurking for a long time. This time they came out in full force and got a good harvest. There are also hundreds of Taoist priests from Qingfeng Temple, and their background is deep and extraordinary. In addition, the other masters also got some small fragments together. After the soldiers arrived, they were helpless with the martial arts masters. In addition, we have been trying our best to stop the wanton killing of all parties, so the dust finally settled and the situation did not slide into the abyss. "
A martial arts master is not a piece of cake. It is not easy for a person without talent to practice to the level of internal organs in this life! In addition to some people who received the news but could not catch up due to the long journey, the emergence of so many martial arts masters is a sign of the great cultural heritage.
"Has Qingpingzi from Qingfeng Temple returned?"
Hearing the familiar name, Gu Dan asked immediately.
"No, before coming here, I went to Qingfeng Temple for a special visit. Qingfeng Temple is empty now." Gong Shangguo said with a strange expression.
"What does empty mean?"
Gu Dan didn't quite understand.
"There isn't a single Taoist priest who has actually been canonized by the emperor. Those who are left are new Taoist priests who were recruited not long ago and don't even have Taoist records. That Qingpingzi must have made plans long ago. Regardless of the success or failure of this trip to Yuzhou, he will leave here!" Gong Shangguo speculated.
Gu Dan suddenly realized.
As early as several years ago, when Ying Liang wrote in the book "Scholars use literature to disrupt the law, and knights use force to violate prohibitions", not only did the civilian warriors suffer a severe setback, but Qingfeng Temple also suffered a great blow.
Even when he entered the dungeon, he saw Qing Pingzi's brother who was arrested in prison! Ten years ago, this was something that he would never dare to think about.
As time went by, Emperor Zong Ming, who had been seeking immortality, finally showed his impatience with the Taoist priests.
But what he never expected was that Qingpingzi was much more cruel than him.
Without even waiting for Emperor Zongming to issue an ultimatum, he made a quick buck in Yuzhou and left! No wonder Gong Shangguo's expression became strange.
The alchemist had been clamoring for immortality for more than twenty years, and Emperor Zong Ming had believed it for more than twenty years. But when the immortal finally came to the world, the alchemist was the first to run away!
Even before running away, he had to snatch the immortal fate! That is to say, the news has not yet reached the ears of Emperor Zong Ming, otherwise Emperor Zong Ming would have vomited three liters of blood!
When Qing Pingzi talked about seeking immortality, he never said that he was asking for the emperor.
After hearing the news, Gu Dan's mood finally improved a little. He suppressed his smile and said, "What about the Wanshou Palace? Should we repair it or not?"
The reason for the construction of Wanshou Palace was that Emperor Zong Ming truly believed the words of the alchemists and wanted to recreate the heavenly palace on earth.
Even after they won the three-year war against Daqing, what they asked for most besides the annual tribute were rare treasures so that they could be used as the facade of the Wanshou Palace.
As a result, the Taoist priest who was born from the immortal fate was the first to run away. How could this be called running away? Wasn't this a slap in the face of Emperor Zong Ming? !
"It would be best if he could not cultivate it, but can he really let it go?"
Gong Shangguo sneered. Even if the alchemists left, he didn't believe that Emperor Zong Ming would let go.
There are people in this world who try their best and make all kinds of efforts to ensure that less innocent blood is shed.
Some people are in high positions but have forgotten all their ambitions. Their minds are filled with only their own selfish desires. Everything they do is just to fulfill their own unattainable dreams.
He can be considered "magnanimous" because he did not vent his anger on the whole world because of Qingfeng Temple!
"You guys rest here first. There are several vacant rooms nearby. I'll go find a nanny for Cangxian."
When he heard the sound of someone turning over in bed, Gu Dan remembered that he still had a little kid to take care of.
You can't be careless with the child. It's the coldest time of the year and the stove in the house has been burning all the time. You also have to consider his meals.
Having persisted in curing illnesses and saving lives for so many years, Gu Dan knew quite a few people. He thought about it and realized that Ding Ji's wife had just given birth to her fourth child and had plenty of milk. Besides, she was an acquaintance, so it was perfect for him! He rushed to Ding Ji's home and explained his purpose. Ding Ji nodded repeatedly and immediately said that he could move there with his family.
When he was released from prison, it was Gu Dan who took him in for nearly ten years. Even his wife was introduced to him because she worked at the Mohist Martial Arts School. Gu Dan's kindness to him can really be described as as heavy as a mountain.
Although the martial arts school closed down two years ago and he returned to his home to make other livings, he always kept this favor in his heart. Gu Dan finally had a need for him, and even if his own child needed a wet nurse, he would not let the child raised by his benefactor go hungry.
Originally, every day was similar, but since the little guy Cang was born, Gu Dan has an extra responsibility.
"Come on, Cang, smile."
Holding the child, Gu Dan rocked him gently, and placed his other free hand on the chubby child's face and gently pushed it on the mouth.
The baby in his arms smiled, and Gu Dan immediately confirmed, "Yes, that's it!"
"Mr. Gu, Cang still doesn't understand now, right?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Xun Ke sat at a stone table nearby, reading a book, with a helpless look on his face.
Every once in a while, Mr. Gu would tease Cang, making it so that he could not concentrate on reading.
"You don't understand now because you haven't heard enough. If I say more, Mr. Cang should be able to understand." Gu Dan waved his hand and said.
In the past three days, he has not continued to practice martial arts.
In addition to teasing Cang, he couldn't help but glance towards the direction of the imperial palace from time to time.
He has a friend who is willing to die for the people, but he doesn't want his friend to really die.
But what can we do besides waiting?
In the past, I always felt that time passed by without any trace.
Now, every moment that passes always makes people feel heartbroken.
If he didn't find something to do, he would just want to rush to the palace and kill the dog emperor.
"well."
Xun Ke sighed. Although Mr. Gu didn't say it, he could guess that Gu Dan was worried about Master Mo.
Not leaving the palace for three days is always worrying, and people even have to make the worst-case scenario plan.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Just as he was thinking this, there was suddenly a loud sound of gongs beating outside the door, and the loud shouts of the yamen runners.
"From today on, all books on alchemy must be handed in. No one is allowed to hide books on alchemy in their homes. Violators will be charged with treason!"
