Chapter 318

Of course Hades wanted to leave the Town Demon Prison, wanted to go out, wanted to go back.

It's just that he knows very well that if no one helps him, he will drift in the river of time forever if he walks into this chaotic darkness.

The dark cloud also followed him to the cliff, and the bell rang in the cloud from time to time, making a crisp sound, and a lovely lightning flashed out.

The mosquitoes from Zhenmo Prison also came nearby, but they were afraid of approaching because of Lei Wei.

Hades retracted his gaze and looked at the tiny, hard-to-see mosquitoes. After a long silence, he finally made a decision.

The moment he made his decision, the flow of light in his body became much faster, and his aura also became stronger.

...

...

In the depths of winter, a blizzard fell in Chaoge City.

Because of the formation protection, the snow in the city is not too serious, and no houses have been crushed, but this still can't stop those poor people who don't believe in the existence of practitioners, wearing single cotton clothes, complaining to the crowd with ashen faces.

Naturally, the people in the palace would not be affected by the blizzard and the refugees, and lived a warm and comfortable life. However, Concubine Hu Gui, who has always been favored and is particularly greedy for warm quilts, has not had this kind of enjoyment recently, because her son Jingyao is now forced to get out of bed before dawn, and then squatting outside the window to practice boxing.

No matter how big-hearted she is, she can't stay on the bed at this time.

Seeing Jingyao with a blushing face standing in the snow without shoe uppers, his legs trembling constantly, his eyes filled with tears, Concubine Hu Gui's heart was about to break, her right hand clutched the corner of her sleeve desperately, so she couldn't resist calling the maid to bring him back, but she had already scolded Gu Qing bloody in her heart. Is it necessary for a child under four years old to suffer like this every day?

"Mr. Gu is here."

Hearing the maid's report, the angry look on Concubine Hu Gui's face disappeared immediately, she greeted Gu Qing, and saluted with a smile.

Gu Qing replied: "Your Majesty, you don't need to be too polite."

Suddenly there was a splash outside the window, and then there was an exclamation from Mammy, it should be that Jing Yao fell down.

Concubine Hu Gui's heart trembled a little, and she couldn't hold it anymore, she forced a smile and said: "Master Jing Jiu said that day that he would not practice in the past few years, and read books first, you see..."

"The second prince is very smart and knows when to fall."

Gu Qing only used one sentence to calm Concubine Hu Gui, and then continued: "I understand what Master told me. There is no practice now, just some preparations. When Master Aunt was in Chaoge City, it is said that she started to struggle at the age of two. Compared with the Second Prince, it is already a year and a half later."

Concubine Hu Gui couldn't say anything, but she was thinking in her heart, how many practice monsters like Zhao Layue can there be in Chaotian Continent?

What Gu Qing said was the truth, the Second Prince was still young, before he could practice cultivation, what he taught every day was the homework from the books and self-control.

Self-control here refers to emotions, desires, and most importantly... control of intelligence.

Jing Yao is still young, so he doesn't quite understand the importance of the last control to practice.

Concubine Hu Gui is not smart enough, so naturally she can't understand the deep meaning.

Lu Qing enters the palace before sunrise every day, and leaves the palace after sunset. It is already very hard work, and he doesn't have the energy to explain these things.

Fortunately, a smart child has one advantage, that is, knowing who has the final say, so Jing Yao has always behaved very well in front of Gu Qing.

In the evening of that day, Gu Qing walked out of the imperial city as usual, and nodded when he saw a familiar eunuch and maid on the way.

The people in the palace were already used to the existence of this Immortal Master Qingshan, and those princes and ministers who had been vigilant and restless at least did not discuss anything on the surface.

Lu Qing's low profile seemed to mean that the Qingshan School did not completely change the current situation.

Walking out of the palace gate, without the protection of the formation, the bitter cold wind hit his face like a hammer.

Naturally, Gu Qing wouldn't be afraid of the cold, but he just thought that it was like this in Chaoge City, and he didn't know how miserable the scene outside the city was.

On the way from the imperial palace to Taichang Temple, Gu Qing was still thinking about this question, what would he do if he were an official in the court, should he ask Qingshan for help?

The majesty of heaven and earth cannot be resisted by ascetics, but like this year's snow disaster outside Chaoge City, several elders from the sea-breaking realm should be able to resolve it together.

Without thinking for a long time, Gu Qing came to a conclusion.

Even if he asks for help, the elders who break the sea in the green hills will not act, and the head master and Jianlu will not force them to act.

Matters of life and death happen anytime and anywhere in the mortal world, and it is very unreasonable for practitioners to influence Qingxiu for such things.

Otherwise, why are those officials from the Zhongzhou faction in the imperial court so calm?

Even Guocheng Temple and Yimaozhai just sent some medical monks and scholars outside the city to help rescue the victims, and did not do anything in advance.

Of course, practitioners also have their own reasons, that is, if they try to interfere with the movement of heaven and earth, they will definitely be punished by heaven...

The problem is that practitioners are doing things that defy the sky, otherwise, how could there be a catastrophe when they ascended?

Afraid of retribution, what do you still practice?

It's not that Lu Qing is worried about the world, it's just that he has been away from Qingshan for half a year, and has been contaminated with too much secular atmosphere in Chaoge City, sometimes he can't help but think about it.

Just think about it.

he said to himself.

Otherwise, walking from the imperial palace to Taichang Temple without being able to fly with a sword would be too boring.

Thinking about these things, he walked to the alley outside the well house, and was stopped by a man.

The person who stopped him was Xiang Wanshu, a disciple of the Zhongzhou School.

Gu Qing and Xiang Wanshu had met several times, and they had walked together in the snowy field, so they were acquainted. He vaguely remembered that the other party should be the direct disciple of the Master Master of Zhongzhou. Seeing him suddenly appearing here, he couldn't help feeling alarmed, and asked, "Why is Fellow Daoist Xiang here?"

Xiang Wanshu knew where the warning in his eyes came from, and said with a wry smile: "I know this is your master's house, and I should avoid it, but you stay in the palace all day, so I have no choice but to wait for you here, otherwise I really don't know when we can meet."

Gu Qing said: "Why do fellow Taoists want me?"

Xiang Wanshu said seriously, "I invite you to dinner."

Ascetics pay attention to purity of heart and refinement, and they rarely touch food after being able to fast, except for those evil spirits who indulge their desires.

Inviting a meal is naturally something to talk about.

There is a fairy house by the White Horse Lake. The two entered the room on the top floor by the lake and sat down separately.

The immortal master doesn't eat hot pot, and doesn't need any hard dishes. At most, he can add some fruits for a meal.

It's just that those fruits are all strange fruits from the spiritual veins, which are very valuable.

Thinking about the previous events, Xiang Wanshu said inexplicably, "The Gu family in Nanhe State is the richest man in mainland China, and they must have a house in Chaoge City. Why do you want to live there?"

Lu Qing said: "No matter how rich the Gu family is, they can't compare with your Xiang family in Zhongzhou, so this meal is yours."

Xiang Wanshu laughed and said, "I heard that you are in charge of all the affairs on Shenmo Peak. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems to be true."

Lu Qing said with a smile: "You want to say that I am more like a businessman than a monk, just say it."

Xiang Wanshu shook his head and said, "You are the second prince's husband now, you may be the teacher of a generation of emperors in the future, how can you be disrespectful."

This is the point.
