Chapter 42 There is no such person in the world(1/2)
Zhuo Rusui was a little puzzled and thought to himself that what do you think I am doing? Suddenly, he heard applause coming from downstairs, walked to the window and looked over curiously.
There was a table in the Shenxianju Restaurant. A storyteller stood by the table and said passionately: "Yesterday we talked about the plum meeting more than 20 years ago. The blood plums in the painting were spotted and spotless, and they could be called a wonder. It is said that this painting is now hidden by His Majesty in the palace, just like a chess game. At this point, everyone knows that Jing Jiu Immortal Master is no match for. Who would have thought that at this moment, the snow field suddenly became shocked..."
Jing Jiu naturally would not listen to this. He walked into the house and sat down, signaling Gu Qing to serve himself a bowl of white soup.
Gu Qing was a little surprised and quickly put the soup on it. The mozi was stripped extremely clean, without a drop of oil.
Liu Shisui noticed this detail and admired it very much.
Jing Jiu occasionally drinks some tea and rarely eats. When he is with Zhao twelfth lunar month, he only picks a green vegetable. It is very rare to drink soup like today, which shows that he is in a good mood, not because Yi Maozhai promises to remain neutral in the battle for the throne, but because of Li Ge'er's marriage.
In Zen Buddhism, achieving marriages with others is a merit, and in this regard, he and his senior brother were greatly influenced by Guocheng Temple.
The soup in the bowl was milky white, looking extremely mellow, but there was no fishy smell. He took a sip and found that the soup base was soy milk, as well as the soup cubes, lard fried garlic and a few mushrooms.
This is a keen perception and a deep understanding of childhood memory, and has nothing to do with the interest in food.
Eating was for survival, but it was made so complicated by mortals that he felt it was a little unnecessary and subconsciously shook his head.
Gu Qing thought he was disliked the noise downstairs, so he waved his hand to release the intent of Chengtian's sword and set up a small array to isolate the sounds and smells of the outside world.
Liu Shisui sighed again, thinking that Junior Brother Gu Qing is indeed much better than him. If the young master has his service, he doesn’t have to worry about him. He can study hard in the vegetarian school.
The storyteller downstairs was about to talk about six years later. Gu Qing and Xiang Wanshu were about to meet Jing Jiu and Bai Zao in the snow field. Zhuo Rusui was in seclusion in the cave of Tianguang Peak. He didn't know the details of this matter. He listened with relish and suddenly found that the voice had disappeared. He couldn't help but feel annoyed and said to Gu Qing: "How can it be stopped at such a critical moment?"
Gu Qing smiled and asked, "Why do ordinary people know about Master's deeds?"
"For mortals, practitioners are no different from immortals, so there will naturally be some rumors."
Gu Qing sat down and said, "People like Master Uncle are probably more famous in the mortal world than Zhenren Bai."
Jing Jiu is so famous naturally cannot do without those reasons, such as the legendary nature of the story.
The soup in the hot pot had already started, and all kinds of vegetables were put into the pot in turn. The four of them started eating, and no one spoke. In the box, they could only hear the sound of the boiling soup, the sound of the vegetable leaves rising and falling, and the sound of the mutton being scalded by the pot.
It is not in line with Zhuo Rusui's character. Although he had been with Jing Jiu and Liu Shisui for a while in the Chu Palace, he was still not used to it. Soon after finishing seven plates of fat mutton, he picked up the tea in the cup and rinsed his mouth, grabbed another handful of melon seeds, and left the box again to continue listening to the story.
He pushed the door out, and the formation naturally opened the passage.
The Storyteller's voice floated in again.
"Take the marriage that caused a sensation in Chaoge City today, it can be called an inappropriate home and wrong households. Although Lord Jing Shang is a senior official in Taichang Temple, how can he compare with the Prime Minister? Then why did Master Cen finally agree to marry his favorite granddaughter to the Prince of the Jing family? Of course, this is not because the Prince of the Jing family is the second prince's companion, but only related to the biggest secret of the Jing family..."
The door was closed, and the formation was once again blocked from the sound.
Jing Jiu put down the soup bowl in his hand.
Zhuo Rusui finished eating seven plates of mutton and went downstairs to listen to the book. Gu Qing ate a basket of vegetables and started cooking new tea. Only then did he finish drinking the white soup in the bowl.
Liu Shishui quickly got up and cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks in front of Jing Jiu, poured a cup of freshly cooked tea, and placed it in front of him.
Gu Qing sat on the stool, quietly watching the fire, occasionally striking foam.
Jing Jiu glanced at Gu Qing and thought of Bu Qiuxiao again. He thought that this apprentice was really good, and his eyes naturally showed an expression of appreciation.
Gu Qing was flattered again and even became nervous, thinking to himself what he had done today?
Jing Jiu said to Liu Shisui: "After the Meihui, you go back to Yimaozhai to study hard and don't worry about other things."
Liu Shisui said a little embarrassedly: "I also feel comfortable staying in a Maozhai."
Jing Jiu had long thought that the style and temperament of the scholars in Maozhai must be similar to that of Liu Shisui, so he asked him to go there.
Gu Qing said: "Xiaohe's identity has crossed the Ming Road in the court, but she is a fox demon after all. You know the style of Yimaozhai, so don't let her go into the wind corridor too deep."
Liu Shisui said: "I will remind her to pay attention."
Jing Jiu said, "Go."
This means that Liu Shisui left.
I have finished eating the hot pot and I have finished what I should remind me. What should I do if I don’t leave?
Liu Shisui was a little nervous and said, "Young Master, you won't be... angry, are you?"
Jing Jiu glanced at him.
Liu Shisui knew that if he continued to ask, the young master would be really angry and hurried out.
...
...
"...In addition to being a high level, talent and seniority, the face and appearance of the immortal master are also unparalleled. He is a real person in the painting, no, a real immortal!"
The Storyteller's voice came into the room again.
...
...
Zhuo Rusui walked into the room, closed the door, looked at Jing Jiu and said seriously: "You just let him go?"
Jing Jiu thought to himself, are you going to invite a ten-year-old midnight snack?
Gu Qing was also a little worried and said, "The ten-year-old senior brother looks... he really likes Yimaozhai."
Zhuo Rusui walked to the table, frowned and said, "What if he really threw himself into a vegetarian camp?"
In his opinion, Liu Shisui was born with a Taoist seed like him, how could he let him leave Qingshan?
Jing Jiu thought there was something to worry about. If Liu Shisui stayed in Yimaozhai, even if the position of the arch master could not be fought for Xi Yiyun in the future, he would definitely become a big shot in the arch. At that time, Yimaozhai would naturally be more inclined toward Qingshan than now.
This principle is very simple, just like Cao Yuan stayed in the Fengdao Sect, and the Fengdao Sect has now become the most determined ally and supporter of Guocheng Temple.
The Zen son was in Guocheng Temple, and Guocheng Temple became close to Qingshan.
Many Yunmengshan disciples went to other sects or became officials in the court, so most sects in the northern continent became vassals of the Zhongzhou sect, and there were many supporters in the court and the opposition. It was so difficult for the emperor to become a crown prince.
Under the sky, there are old stories.
Seeing that Jing Jiu ignored him, Zhuo Rusui had no choice. He thought about what happened today and asked curiously: "Uncle Master, how did you convince Bu Qiuxiao?"
Jing Jiu ignored him, put on a hat and walked out of the box.
In the hall downstairs, the story of Storyteller who had been serializing for two days was just about to reach the end.
“…There is no such person in the world.”
Accompanying the storyteller's words, the three of them left the Shenxianju Restaurant and disappeared into the night.
...
...
Zhuo Rusui took Qingshan disciples to attend the plum meeting, so he naturally had to go back to his residence.
Jing Jiu took Gu Qing into the palace and first went to Concubine Hu's bedroom.
Concubine Hu didn't expect that they would enter the palace overnight. She quickly put on a dress to cover her graceful body, and called the palace maid to inform Jing Yao to come over immediately.
"No, just a few simple explanations."
Jing Jiu said: "Gu Qing will stay here for a year and live in the palace, which is safer."
When Concubine Hu heard this, she was slightly stunned and thought to herself that he was not a eunuch, so why couldn't he come to the palace to teach Yao'er's homework every day like before?
Gu Qing also felt that it was not very convenient. Just as he was about to say a few words, he suddenly understood the master's intention. Prince Jingxin was the next candidate for the Divine Emperor selected by the Zhongzhou School. Now with the neutrality of Yi Maozhai, the conflict may intensify at any time. If he is still outside the palace, he is very likely to be exploited or threatened.
Jing Jiu said to Gu Qing: "A year later, if the decree has not been delivered, you will immediately return to Qingshan."
Gu Qing is now in the first stage of the world and is still in a stable stage. He does not need to retreat for the time being, but if this is the case for a long time, it will have a very adverse impact on his practice.
After saying this, he left the palace.
The palace in the night was very quiet and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Gu Qing turned around and walked outside the hall, calling out a eunuch to arrange a residence for him, asking the farther he wanted, the better.
Concubine Hu tightened her clothes.
...
...
"The first thing to ensure is Jing Yao's safety." Jing Jiu said to the Divine Emperor: "Although according to the truth, the Zhongzhou Sect will not be so crazy, but who knows?"
The God Emperor said: "The imperial city formation is here, even if Tan Bai and the other two arrived in person, it will be difficult to break it. But Yaoer and Gu Qing are a little more aggrieved."
Jing Jiu said: "A practitioner has been in seclusion for ten years. If he can't even survive a year, he will have no future."
The God Emperor said, "Don't expect me to have another one."
Jing Jiu said: "That day in the old plum garden, Bu Qiuxiao actually had such thoughts."
Jing Xin was the choice of the Zhongzhou school, Jing Yao was the choice of the Qingshan school. Yimaozhai would support the former before, because the scholars in the school could not accept the identity of Concubine Hu.
If the Divine Emperor is willing to have another child, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, this matter can be solved easily.
The problem is that the Divine Emperor is unwilling to have children with women other than Concubine Hu.
The God Emperor asked, “How did you convince the Lord Buzhai?”
Zhuo Rusui also wants to know this answer.
