Chapter 151



151 The Gu clan (1)

“All of this seems reasonable at first glance, but you don’t have concrete evidence on either the first supervisor or the North vanquishing Prince.

“The North-guarding King has been guarding the border all year round. I don’t know him well, and neither do you. It was a little arbitrary to judge him with ill intentions.

besides, North vanquishing Prince is a third-rank martial artist. It’s not impossible for him to reach second-rank in the future. It’s hard to say if he’s willing to be the Emperor. Hehe, of course, since ancient times, power has always moved people. If I say that he won’t rebel, it would be arbitrary.” Daoist priest Golden Lotus analyzed.

“There’s no conflict between advancing to second grade and becoming an Emperor, right?” Xu Qi ‘an had his own opinion. this is just my assumption. I haven’t verified it yet. When I collect evidence, it will be clear whether the northern Prince is the mastermind or not.

“But Taoist priest, I can’t continue the investigation.” Xu Qi ‘an sighed. although Emperor Yuan jing ordered me to take charge of this case, North vanquishing Prince is a Prince. He is a Prince with a large number of soldiers. I can’t openly investigate his residence.

“The old eunuch of the Directorate of Celestials is feigning illness, so I can’t go to the stargazing tower to question him either. It’s very difficult.”

“Emperor Yuan jing?” The Golden Lotus Taoist squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Qi ‘an with an inexplicable meaning.

“It’s been many years since I’ve heard a Lackey of the Imperial court dare to call him that.” The Taoist priest’s eyes were filled with surprise as he clicked his tongue and said,

“I seem to have overlooked something.”

“What did you miss?” Xu Qi ‘an asked subconsciously.

“The donor has a rebellious bone in the back of his head.” The old Daoist priest commented.

‘I didn’t. You’re talking nonsense. Don’t accuse me …’ Xu Qi ‘an’s face was serious, and he said in a serious tone, “”I’m loyal to Your Majesty.”

Golden Lotus Daoist priest did not expose him.

“This case is very deep. Is there anything you want to teach me?” Xu Qi ‘an asked carefully.

“When you were pretending to be a scholarly disciple in the Heaven and Earth Society, you were quite clever.” Daoist priest Golden Lotus teased.

I knew that you would be smiling like an Auntie while watching us fight in the group … Xu dalang ridiculed this old silver coin in his heart.

let me analyze for you. There are a few things that are not right in your description.

“Daoist priest, please speak.” Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes lit up.

He had chosen to communicate with the old Daoist openly because he had taken a fancy to the old Daoist’s wisdom and rich experience.

Old silver coin was despicable, but if they were allies, they often gave people a sense of security.

The Golden Lotus Taoist pondered for a while and said, “”The first thing that’s not right is that the supervisor is standing by and watching. If the one suppressing sangpo was the first supervisor of the Directorate of Celestials, he should be the most anxious one. But he was very quiet … En, it’s also possible that this sinister and cunning old thing is no longer in the stargazing tower, and it’s unknown what he’s doing in secret.”

Xu Qi ‘an nodded silently.

The first supervisor and the current one were like fire and water. The reason was simple. The master had been suppressed, but the disciple was still in charge of the Directorate of Celestials. It was obvious that the plastic master-disciple relationship had broken. Otherwise, with the strength of a first-grade supervisor, even the Dao chief of the human sect would not be able to stop him.

“The second thing that’s not right is Emperor Yuan jing. The day after the Sang Bo case happened, he lifted the city restrictions. Hehe … Don’t you think it’s strange? there’s no such thing as letting a Tiger return to the mountain.”

I’ve thought about these two questions, ” Xu Qi ‘an said immediately. my guess at that time was that perhaps they opened the city gate and lured the snake out of its hole … Well, I can’t get in touch with or grasp the state of the supervisor and Emperor Yuan jing, they are too high level.”

“That’s true.” this isn’t the only reason you wanted to talk to me, right? ” Taoist master Jin Lian asked. is number six related to the Sang Bo case? ”

“To be precise, monk Hengyuan’s junior Brother might be related to this case. After he lost contact for no reason, I was even more certain of this guess.”

“You have indeed been to Azure Dragon Temple and know Hengyuan’s identity.” Golden Lotus Daoist priest was not surprised. He asked, “”Junior Brother?”

“There’s a monk in the Azure Dragon Temple, his Buddhist name is Heng Hui. More than a year ago, he eloped with Prince Yu’s daughter, Princess Ping Yang. Prince Yu suffered a heavy blow and was bedridden. This matter is related to the struggle between the noble and civil officials.” Xu Qi ‘an grabbed the teapot and poured a cup of water. After soothing his throat, he continued,

“In order to hide Princess Ping Yang from the search, monk Heng Hui stole a Qi-concealing magic artifact from Azure Dragon Temple. I suspect that the magic tool fell into the hands of Zhou chixiong, the centurion of the Golden guards.”

Golden Lotus listened patiently, sometimes frowning and sometimes deep in thought. After Xu Qi ‘an finished, he said, ” so, you want to check on henghui through Hengyuan to verify your guess? ”

“Yes, this is the only breakthrough I have at the moment. Taoist priest, do you still remember? Hengyuan said that Junior Brother was kidnapped, and the abbot of Azure Dragon Temple said that henghui eloped. Hengyuan might have found some clues when he left Azure Dragon Temple to investigate …”

“You hope that I can bring you to him.”

“I’m counting on you, Daoist priest.”

……

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Compared to the cold and dry winter in the capital city, the South, where the Gu tribe lived, had a humid climate. Even in the coldest season of the year, the Gu tribe living here would wear thin clothes.

Leena was wearing a pair of thin cloth boots, and her skirt only reached her knees, revealing her long and straight calves.

Her facial features were delicate, her eyebrows were slightly thick, and her pupils were light blue, rippling with a pure and lively light.

Her wheat-colored skin made her look healthy and wild, like a strong female leopard.

A large Army of more than a hundred people trekked in the wilderness, holding torches and moving forward in silence.

Leena, who had light steps and was jumping around, seemed out of place.

This time, she came out with the elders of the tribe to gain experience. Their destination was the abyss where the poison God was sleeping. There were seven tribes in the Gu tribe. They were the beneficiaries of the Gu God and also the Guardians.

“When I figure out the reason for the Gu God’s revival, I can announce the information to the Tiandi society and make all the members owe me a debt. The premise is that this reason will not bring danger to the Gu clan …” Thinking of this, Leena’s eyes lit up with a bright smile.

“Leena, be serious.” In front of them, the elder brother Mose turned around and reprimanded his sister in a low voice.

He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Lina’s. The only difference was that there was a deep scar on the left side of his face that destroyed his handsomeness, and his fierce eyes made him look rebellious.

Lina wasn’t afraid of her brother at all. She snorted, the other brothers all have sisters-in-law to scold, but you don’t have a wife. You only know how to scold me all day.

Mose was a little helpless and left.

Leena followed her brother and put her arm around his shoulder. I heard that the women in Da Feng are pretty and their faces are paler than steamed buns. Mo sang, I’ll help you get a wife.

Mose snorted. what’s the use of being pretty? I need a woman who can tear a leopard apart with her bare hands.

“But I heard from a friend that the northern Princess Consort of Da Feng is very beautiful, the eldest Princess is also very beautiful, and there is also the head of the path of the human sect. All of them are great beauties that can cause the downfall of a city.”

Mose looked over and swallowed. “Then help me ask your friend how pretty she is … Wait, where did you get such a friend?”

Leena ignored him and ran to the front.

“Tian Huan’s mother-in. law, wait for me …” Leena left her tribe and went to the leader of the heavenly Gu tribe, a hunchbacked old woman.

Granny tianshuo raised her face that was full of wrinkles. Her eyes were clear as she examined Lina.”Little doll, what’s the matter?”

“Granny, I have a friend … Yes, I’m a friend of a friend. I’ve encountered some strange things recently.” Lina’s eyes darted around as she said, “”He’s extremely lucky, ridiculously lucky.”

There was a reason why Leena asked the heavenly Gu tribe this question.

It was said that after the poison God fell into a deep sleep, the Gu’s spirit turned into a heart Gu;The qi and blood of the kun turned into strength Gu, and the poison of the kun turned into poison Gu.His liver had turned into a drug, his spine’s desire had turned into a desire Gu, and his heart had turned into a flame.Chi’s eyes turned into a celestial Chi while Chi’s body turned into a zombie.

This was the origin of the Gu tribe’s seven tribes. There was another legend in the Gu tribe that the day the Gu God recovered, he would take back the Gu’s power.

No one in the Gu clan hoped that this ancient beast, which was on par with the gods and Buddhas, would recover.

Among them, the heavenly Gu represented the Gu God’s eyes. It could observe everything in the world and the laws of nature. Thus, the heaven Gu tribe was in charge of setting the calendar, and the Gu tribe would work and farm according to the instructions of the heaven Gu tribe.

In addition, the heavenly Gu tribe was also proficient in divination and equivalent secret techniques.

“Then he must be a person with good fortune, a good person who does good deeds,” granny tianshuo said.

Was number three considered a good person? Probably … Leena said,”but …” His luck is to pick up silver, picking up silver every day.”

However, Daoist priest Golden Lotus had said that his condition was not due to merit.

“Picking up silver? What kind of luck is this? this little kid is just talking nonsense.” A middle-aged man from the heavenly venomous tribe laughed.

Laughter came from all around, dispersing the solemn atmosphere in the team.

This little girl from the strength Gu Department was really interesting.

“Shut up!” Granny Tiangang suddenly berated. Her face was stern as she grabbed Lina’s hand. The force she used was so strong that it made Lina frown.

“Little girl, where’s your friend? Hurry up, hurry up and tell me …” Granny Tiangang asked anxiously.

‘This …’ The members of the heavenly Gu tribe looked at each other. They could not understand how a little girl’s joke could make granny tianshuo so excited.

“Father, it seems like something has happened.” Mo sang stood on tiptoes and looked into the distance. He saw the abnormality in front of him and granny Tiangang grabbing his sister’s wrist and asking loudly.

The leader of the strength Gu tribe nodded and said with a strong voice, “”I’ll go take a look.”
