Chapter 971: Difficult to Protect Yourself
Um?
Raising horses?
Chen Zhen, Epiphyllum Ghost Mother, and the second-generation disciples outside the courtyard all changed their expressions. The Blood Hell Great Sage, who had the most explosive temper, was about to start cursing, but was stopped by An Xin.
Lu Xian, Tian Yaoer, Zui, Jiang Shi and others looked at Xuanqing Xingjun with extremely unfriendly eyes. They would dare to attack even if it was an immortal god, but Gu An was in the house, so they did not dare to act recklessly.
"Will you let me go to heaven to raise horses?"
Gu An's voice came from inside the house. After hearing it, Xuan Qing Xingjun remained calm and continued, "The divine horses are not ordinary horses. They symbolize rules and are connected to the avenue. Raising them is like raising the avenue, which can also benefit the common people."
inside the house.
Gu An sat at the table, with his right hand on the table, stroking a book with three words written on the cover.
Journey to the West!
Although he had predicted today's conversation, Gu An still felt that fate was playing tricks on him.
How could there be such similar things?
Does this indicate the contempt of Heaven, or does it prove the gap between immortals and mortals?
Gu An slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Then may I ask, Star Lord, do you think that I can help the sentient beings of the Heavenly Dao more by raising horses, or will I gain merits faster if I keep the status quo?"
The aura of merit emanating from him was not created by him, but accumulated through his actions. However, he never used this merit.
During the battle for the throne, Gu An used the Beginningless Divine Bird to exterminate the evil spirits in the Three Thousand Worlds. The merits he gained from that wave were huge enough and far beyond what Li Ya could compare to.
In addition, when Gu An killed enemies, he mostly killed those who had committed serious sins or those who had actively provoked him. He never killed innocent people.
His merits are different from the merits of Heaven and are more difficult to capture. They are gifts from the Great Dao. If one's realm is not high enough, it is difficult to detect them even if one does many good deeds.
He showed up in order to attract Xuanqing Star Lord, so that he could enter the Heaven Court with legitimate reasons and participate in the war between Heaven Court and Chaos in the future.
It is worth mentioning that picking herbs will also eliminate merits, but Gu An’s merits are too huge, and picking herbs cannot shake his merits at all.
After hearing Gu An's words, Xuanqing Xingjun was silent for a moment, and then replied: "If you become an immortal, you will be able to do more and see a bigger picture."
"Is the bigger picture decided by you, or by the so-called Taihao Tiandi? In addition, Taihao Tiandi is at the top of the heaven. Will he really appoint the position of the Divine Horse Heavenly Official?"
Gu An's tone remained calm, and his two rhetorical questions made Xuanqing Xingjun feel embarrassed.
Taihao Tiandi naturally didn't know about this pure land, but when he was recruiting immortals with merit, he habitually used the name of Taihao Tiandi. Firstly, it made the immortals with merit appear more dignified, and secondly, it made the immortals with merit feel grateful to the Emperor and feel grateful for his recognition.
Even though the Emperor of Heaven no longer treats him the same way as before, he still considers the Emperor of Heaven.
Xuanqing Xingjun coughed and said, "His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven knows everything, and the current Emperor of Heaven is different from the past Emperor of Heaven. He wants to change the way of heaven and benefit the people. The Divine Horse Heavenly Official is not as lowly as you think. In fact, many immortals will rely on you in the future."
Gu An did not answer, leaving the courtyard in silence.
Xuanqing Xingjun could only wait. What he was more curious about was Gu An’s cultivation level.
He had also tried to recruit powerful people with higher cultivation than him to be merit immortals, but Gu An gave him the most special feeling. Although they were separated by a door, he could not feel Gu An's breath at all.
The most important thing is that Wuzhong Mountain gave him a very subtle feeling. When he was on this mountain, he actually felt very small.
The position of the Divine Horse Heavenly Official is not low among the immortals with merits and virtues. In the Heavenly Court, it is not easy to be called a Divine Horse. This was also the temporary change he made when he felt Gu An's merits and virtues.
The courtyard was silent, and the eyes of the second-generation disciples became increasingly cold, causing Xuanqing Xingjun to feel uncomfortable.
"Show him off."
Gu An's voice came from inside the house, and Xuanqing Xingjun was stunned. He was about to say something when An Xin appeared in front of him out of nowhere.
"please!"
An Xin raised her hand and said, her sudden appearance made Xuanqing Xingjun raise an eyebrow.
What a fast speed!
Xuanqing Xingjun sighed, then turned and left.
When he walked out of the courtyard, the Blood Hell Great Sage couldn't help but ask, "Hey, have you read Journey to the West?"
"Journey to the West? What is that?" asked Xuanqing Xingjun in confusion.
After hearing this answer, Blood Hell Great Sage’s anger subsided and a strange look appeared on his face.
The other disciples also had subtle expressions. If Xuanqing Star Lord didn't know about Journey to the West, then could it be that Gu An wrote it because he had foreseen what was happening today?
The Epiphyllum Ghost Mother brought Xuanqing Star Lord down the mountain.
For some reason, Xuanqing Xingjun became more and more uneasy.
This was the first time he was rejected. Although the conversation with Gu An was only a few short sentences, he felt that this would be the most powerful immortal he had ever promoted, and it would be a pity if he missed it.
The relationships within the Heavenly Court are complicated. Not only is he recruiting immortals and gods, but other forces are also recruiting.
If one day, Gu An is attracted to other immortals, will he become an obstacle to becoming a merit immortal?
Xuanqing Xingjun was still very conflicted as he waited for the Epiphyllum Ghost Mother to send him to the edge of the Wushi Dojo.
When the spiritual mist gathered again, he flew towards the distant city. He felt that he could not give up easily and had to think about it again.
The other side.
Gu An walked out of the room and gathered in the courtyard with his disciples.
"This old guy really looks down on people! Master, do you want to punish him by making him work?" Lu Xian said with his eyes wide open and an unhappy look on his face.
They have no fear of immortals and gods. After all, Epiphyllum Ghost Mother has several immortals and gods under her command.
The other disciples followed suit and cursed Xuanqing Xingjun, thinking that this immortal was truly abominable.
Gu An smiled and said, “In fact, this divine horse is indeed not simple, but there are many ways to become an immortal, and his sincerity is not enough.”
Tian Yaoer asked curiously, "Master, are you going to Heaven because you once belonged to Heaven, or do you want to have some fun?"
They knew Gu An's personality very well. He always liked to have fun. If he was pursuing fame and fortune, why would he live in seclusion here? Either he originally belonged to the heaven, or he just suddenly wanted to go out and have some fun.
"I don't belong to the Heavenly Court, but there will be a catastrophe in the future, and the Heavenly Court will have a hard time protecting itself." Gu An replied, and these words made the disciples nervous.
What kind of disaster is it that even the Heavenly Court can’t protect itself?
Gu An didn't say much and walked out of the courtyard.
The other side.
After Xuanqing Xingjun returned to the city, the first thing he did was to inquire about Journey to the West.
There was indeed a Journey to the West on this continent, and the stories in it were widely circulated. He quickly bought a copy, and after reading it for a short while, he was attracted.
When he saw Taibai Jinxing recruiting Sun Wukong to be the horse keeper, his expression became strange, and then he felt creepy.
Also in the heaven, Taibai Jinxing also has the word "star" in its name.
Is this really a coincidence?
If it wasn't a coincidence, then didn't Gu An have already calculated what would happen today?
Xuanqing Xingjun continued to look down, and when he saw Sun Wukong making a big fuss in Heaven, his face changed drastically and his body began to tremble.
