The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 626

Gu Qing left the palace and returned to the well house.

The crabapple tree was gone long ago, and no one dared to replant anything there. The yard was very empty, and the stars fell on the ground, looking like water.

He walked into the study and looked at the master on the couch with a heavy heart.

Jing Jiu's eyes were tightly closed, his eyelashes did not move, his skin was like jade, and his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque. There was no change from a hundred years ago. He was still the fairy who took the color of the world.

Like a lotus flower sleeping in the night, it has to wait for the morning light to come before waking up.

The problem is that Lian Sanyue has passed away for a hundred years, where in the world can I find that morning light?

This study room has a formation arranged by Zen Zi himself to isolate things from the outside world. Even if Jing Jiu lies down for another hundred years, he will not be as dusty as those decorations in ordinary people's homes. But every day they would scrub Jing Jiu twice, which was a filial piety of the disciples, and it also represented some kind of good wishes.

There is no filial son before the bed for a long time, because it is difficult for the person on the bed to recover, and despair will bring countless negative emotions.

If there is a glimmer of hope, the situation is naturally different.

The sleeping Jing Jiu was even more difficult to take care of than the hardest paralyzed patient, especially turning over was very difficult, and Gu Qing didn't understand why Master was so heavy.

It was really difficult to scrub Jing Jiu's body, until Chan Zi came to Chaoge City that year, and he couldn't stand it and taught them a trick.

Gu Qing circulated the sword element, ignited the sword fire, and moved it from the top of Jing Jiu's head to the bottom of his feet.

His level of cultivation is not what it used to be, and his control over the sword fire can be called subtle. Those sword fires just linger between Jing Jiu's white clothes, and they will never burn the fabric on the couch. After finishing these things, he moved a chair to sit in front of the couch, told what happened in the court today and the news from Qingshan, and then fell silent again.

What should I say next?

"I can't bear her, but she can't be with me. Otherwise, what would Jingyao think? The Zhongzhou faction will definitely use this to make trouble, and she will have trouble too. Master, what should I do?" He lowered his head, like a child who has made a mistake, and whispered to Jing Jiu who was on the couch: "I have indeed put some thought into the matter with Taozi. I think more about it. I am really a bad person. Actually, I don't want to be a bad person. Isn't it?"

The sleeping Jing Jiu naturally couldn't hear his words, and couldn't give any advice.

Gu Qing raised his head, looked at him and said, "Master, I'm under a lot of pressure. If you can't wake up, I have to stand up. I will try my best to stand up... I am the elder brother of Shenmo Peak. I can't fall. No matter what method I use, I have to stand here, even if I am a bad person. So next spring, I will still form a Taoist partner with her. Master, if you wake up, will you bless me? Beat me up, kill me... As long as you wake up, that would be great." .”

After saying this, he got up and left the study, and slowly closed the door of the study without making any sound, as if he was afraid of disturbing Jing Jiu's sleep.

The yard is still so quiet, Jingli is now a senior scholar, since his wife left a few years ago, he would sit in the room every night in a daze, with the lights off.

The whole well mansion is dark, only the back garden has some faint light, and some very faint sour fragrance wafts in, attracting people's saliva.

That's the smell of kimchi.

Looking at the back garden, Lu Qing suddenly felt great envy for those two people.

Those two people haven't got married yet, at least there is no ceremony, but more than a hundred years have passed peacefully like this.

Everyone's situation is similar, why are you so happy?

...

...

After leaving Jingfu, Gu Qing went to Taichang Temple.

Seeing him coming, the young disciples of Shuiyue Temple covered their mouths and laughed, saluted one by one and avoided him.

"Master, Lord Jian Guo has arrived."

A naughty girl yelled into the building, then left with a grin.

The door of the building opened, and the light illuminated Zhen Tao's face, which was still so fresh and pleasant, even though she was the teacher of Shuiyue Temple now.

Lu Qing's eyes brightened slightly, he walked up to her and asked, "How is today?"

Zhen Tao has been researching Celestial Communication for these years, trying to break through a certain barrier.

In terms of Taoism, they have common goals and interests, compared to that, the woman in the palace just likes to get bored and doesn't care about these at all.

"It's pretty smooth." Zhen Tao looked at him with a slight smile, reached out to straighten his collar, and said, "What about you?"

Gu Qing said: "I have spoken to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother."

Zhen Tao was a little ashamed and said, "That's not what I asked."

Lu Qing smiled and said: "Auntie has already left customs, but there are some urgent things to do, I will urge her."

Zhen Tao restrained her embarrassment, and said seriously: "It must be before next spring."

Gu Qing became a Taoist couple with her, and he really had the intention of using Shuiyuean as foreign aid, and he never wanted to hide it from her, he had already made it clear a long time ago.

"Sorry." He looked at Zhen Tao and said seriously.

Zhen Tao smiled slightly and said, "It's good if I can help you."

Lu Qing suddenly said, "Go for a walk?"

...

...

The two walked into the starry night of Taichang Temple.

The starlight shines on the purple flowers and plants around the Demon Town Prison, exuding a strange feeling.

They walked under the stars and lingered among the flowers and plants, very peaceful and happy.

Walking together on the road, helping each other, and consulting with each other, this is a Taoist couple.

How they got started is also a long story.

The starlight of that night and tonight is very beautiful, there is no need to elaborate on anything else.

He took her hand.

feels good.

This kind of fellowship that can let the sun and the stars see is really beautiful.

Just like ordinary people's love, it's very sweet.

They just held hands and talked casually.

He suddenly thought of one thing.

She was in the palace at this time and could definitely guess what he and Zhen Tao were doing.

Then, she should be very sad.

He looked down at the purple flower swaying in the wind at his feet, and remained silent.

"What's wrong?" Zhen Tao asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Gu Qing raised his head and said expressionlessly, "I'm thinking about the last three hidden formulas in Chengtian Sword Art."

Zhen Tao asked, "Is it difficult?"

Gu Qing remembered the last two words Master said before he fell down, and said, "It's really difficult."

...

...

The news that Qingshan Gu Qing and Shuiyuean Zhentao are about to form a Taoist couple quickly spread in the practice circle.

This is of course a happy event.

Being well-matched is only one aspect, and more importantly, the practice community regards this pair of Taoists as a continuation of Zhenren Jingyang and Lian Sanyue.

Of course Shuiyuean is willing, and Qingshan Sect must also be willing.

Even if some people headed by Fang Jingtian knew that this would bring a lot of trouble, they couldn't raise any objections.

One spring morning, Gu Qing walked out of the well house and walked to the street.

One hundred and one years have passed, and most people in Chaoge City have forgotten what this street looked like before, thinking that the temple has always been here.

Looking at the temple across the street, Gu Qing thought of Jing Xin who was imprisoned in the Guocheng Temple now, and then thought of the Qingshan Conference ten days later. He wondered whether Tong Yan's idea was feasible, and wondered whether Zhao Layue would listen to him.

If Fang Jingtian really becomes the head of Qingshan, no one knows what kind of impact it will bring.

Thinking about these things, he walked towards the distant imperial city, and suddenly heard a voice from above: "This wine is not bad, do you want to try it?"

Gu Qing thought it was He Zhan who had returned to Chaoge City, looked up, but saw a handsome young man standing by the bar of the restaurant.

The young man was wearing a red dress. It was not known whether it had been washed too many times or it was too old. The color had faded a bit, but it had a different smell.

There are hundreds of portraits of the young man in red in the Qingtian Division. Gu Qing naturally knew who he was, and he calmed down a little after a long time. He didn't think about notifying anyone, and he didn't activate the Imperial City formation. He saluted and said, "I've seen Master."

Yin San waved and said, "Come in and talk."

Lu Qing walked into the restaurant, came to the private room on the second floor, and saw the returning dzi on the table at a glance.

Countless rays of light shot out from the returning dzi beads, forming a seemingly real scene, that is, he and Queen Mother Hu are strolling in the garden, talking at night in the palace...

If you want, the Dzi Returning Pearl can also emit sound. In the cultivation world of Chaotian Continent, only this magic weapon can be used as evidence. When Qingshan Sect destroyed Yuntai of Xihai Sword Sect, it relied on Liu Shisui to bring in the Returning Dzi Bead, and later returned the Returning Dzi to the Zhongzhou Sect, the last time he appeared in front of people was during the Inquiry Conference.

Lu Qing was a little scared, thinking what to do if the Zhongzhou faction appeared today?

Of course, now that the dzi bead has fallen into this person's hands, I'm afraid it will bring more troubles.

Thinking of these things, his face was a little pale, but his expression was still calm.

Yin San smiled and said: "If the little emperor finds out about this, what will he do to you? What will the ministers in the court think? Yimao Zhai didn't like this fox demon as the queen mother at first, but now that she has captured the evidence of messing up the palace, do you think those scholars can bear it? More importantly, if Shuiyuean knows about this, they will definitely feel that you are humiliating them. Then what will happen next?"

There is only one answer to these questions.

That is destruction.

Gu Qing asked calmly: "What's your uncle thinking?"

"The emperor's will, Yimao Zhai and the envoys of Guocheng Temple, stop everything you have prepared. I don't want the Qingshan Conference ten days later to be disturbed by these troubles."

Yin San said: "Do these things well first, then I will ask you to do two more things, and I will give you the dzi bead."

Lu Qing was silent for a while, then said, "Okay."

After saying this, he left the restaurant.

Patriarch Xuanyin walked into the house, put away the dzi and returned it, and said: "Suddenly encountered such a thing, he is still so calm. This kid's realm is ordinary, but his heart is terrible."

Yin San smiled and said: "My Qingshan has always had a good eye for accepting disciples."

Patriarch Xuanyin shook his head and said, "I think he is so calm because he has the will to die."

Yin San laughed slightly and said, "He is the next generation head of Jing Jiu, and he is learning from Jing Jiu in every aspect, how could he commit suicide."

Patriarch Xuanyin thought this was the reason.

"It's really troublesome. Why don't you just project the picture in the bead into the sky, so that everyone in the whole continent can see the excitement." Yinfeng's voice came from Liang.

Yin San smiled and said: "No, as long as he is willing to do one thing for me, he will do countless things. I have always wanted to know what it feels like to persuade someone's apprentice to betray him."

...

...

When he came to the imperial city, Gu Qing did not go directly to the main hall, but went to the palace, waved his hand to signal the eunuchs and maids to disperse, walked directly to the Empress Dowager Hu, lowered his head under her astonished gaze, hugged her tightly in his arms, pressed his body tightly together, and then began to kiss her deeply.

After parting, Empress Dowager Hu blushed and said, "What's wrong with you today?"

Lu Qing looked at her and smiled and said, "I miss you."

Then he went to the cold palace and knelt down in front of the skinny Yuan Qijing for a long time. Then he left the palace directly, went to Taichang Temple to meet Zhen Tao, told her all his hidden thoughts about Chengtian Jiansan these days, and then kissed her on the forehead.

After finishing these things, he went back to the well house, moved a stool and sat on the side of the couch, looking out the window.

He didn't say anything to the sleeping master today.

There is no need to say anything now.

Ruined.

Aoyama was ashamed.

I'm sorry Master.

So what to do?

He was going to set up a game to kill the real Taiping.

Whether he succeeds or not, his end is already doomed, and that is death.

He had indeed been studying Jing Jiu since he and the monkeys built the cabin on Shenmo Peak.

He didn't talk much, calm and almost indifferent.

But in essence he is not Jing Jiu's kind of person.

He is not afraid of death.

Especially these years.

What is death.

I have long wanted to die.

Damn my kind of man?

Then I will die.

Lu Qing looked out the window, thinking calmly.
