Chapter 273: People Are Divided Into Two Places and Their Thoughts Are
The peaceful days always pass quickly, and it was not long before the New Year's Eve of the 533rd year of Dawu arrived. Google search reading
For the people of Dawu, this was a difficult but hopeful year.
As the twelve guards of the blessed land cut off the reinforcements of the monsters, more and more monsters in the territory were surrounded and suppressed in various places, and the number was constantly decreasing.
The situation in most of Zhongting and the three kingdoms of Dongnanbei was still relatively chaotic, but the Western Wilderness Kingdom, which was protected by Taiping City for most of its territory, had restored general peace.
Unfortunately, the geographical environment of the Western Wilderness Kingdom was too poor, and it could not directly provide much help to Zhongting and the three kingdoms of Dongnanbei.
But as a relatively stable rear base, it was already the first choice for many royal families, government offices, and clans to leave a way out.
The normal blessed land cities with nearly 30 places were naturally better, but they were too popular.
It was not difficult to squeeze in a few people to keep safe, but it was difficult to show off one's strength and expand one's power.
After all, if you eat more, someone will eat less.
The most powerful group in the blessed land city is the group of sincere people from the fairy mountain, and they are quite united.
They will not bully people casually, but other forces want to seize power in it, that is a daydream.
It is difficult for latecomers to get to the top by playing tricks, and their own conditions do not allow it by strength.
Therefore, many forces chose the Western Wilderness.
The geographical location is a bit poor and bad, but the advantage is that there are many vacant areas, and you can make a stable retreat with a little thought.
It can be used to accommodate the second and third round warriors who are injured or unwilling to fight, and to arrange some family scrolls and logistics personnel to stabilize the emotions of the warriors in front.
In addition to the Western Wilderness, the courtyard and the Three Kingdoms are not completely chaotic.
At least the vicinity of the major blessed lands is also a safe zone in a sense, with a relatively small number of monsters and their strength is not strong.
Relying on these safe zones, the surrounding areas have also begun to gradually restore some production and life.
In particular, the most important food is steadily recovering.
I dare not say that all the great warriors can have enough food and clothing, but the key cities can basically maintain it, and there is still enough power to help the second and third tier small cities.
There is no way for the younger ones. It is not easy for anyone these days. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.
Xianshan has a lot of aid every year, and countries also need sincere people to worship the god tablets and statues to open new blessed cities.
Except for a few families with special circumstances, the rest are almost "insincere, not hardworking, and not desperate". The three wastes, otherwise it would not be so difficult to survive.
Speaking of which, Gu Ke, who has left the novice period, can no longer get the New Year activities from the system.
Whether he wants to bless or project to spend New Year's Eve with the people of Dawu, it is all a matter of his thoughts.
Of course, he chose to accompany his relatives as he has the attribute of a homebody.
He can also set off a few fireworks for them to watch, and bring a few red envelopes to the people of Dawu (blessings from Xianshan).
In this way, he can be quiet, the women can feast their eyes, and the people can benefit, and everyone is happy.
Ahem, of course there are two places where Gu Ke is present.
In the Jade Dragon Cave, his real body embraced Bai Suqing and led Xiao Ping'er, and then handed the karma money to Xiaoman and Saranzhu, allowing them to release fireworks at will.
Saranzhu also has the blessing list, so just distribute it according to the list.
The two Shamans are more concerned about how to make more beautiful... Well, well, the fireworks made by the two naughty kids in their 50s are mostly closer to the weird ones.
But fireworks are a matter of opinion, or the light and shadow effects are grand enough, so don't be too demanding about the specific shape.
Although these two naughty kids are almost a hundred years old in total,... they just have fun.
On the other side, in Taiping New City, Gu Ke's clone's void body accompanied the eldest lady to set off fireworks.
It's not that they are treated differently, but the problem is that there is no palace spirit to do it for him, so he can only set off the "blessing fireworks" himself.
Also present were Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju, and Li Xiu'er also came to accompany the master.
Li Dacheng wanted to wait for the "red envelope rain" in the fairy mountain to stop for a while before rushing back to the temple to preside over the New Year blessing ceremony.
However, Gu Ke concealed the existence of the cause and effect money and the blessing gold thread. Li Xiuer only thought that the fireworks were a trick played by the master to control the soul source and please the master, and did not contact the fairy mountain blessing at all.
In addition, the three women of Chun, Xia and Dong also came. Their husbands, as the elders of Taiping City, also came to pay homage to Gu Ke and the eldest lady.
Of course, the eldest lady has someone in the "fairy mountain" and is Li Xiuer's master, which is a public thing.
But Gu Ke has close contacts with the eldest lady, and they often go in and out together.
The three women of Chun, Xia and Dong have a friendship contract, and they are very clear about his identity. They have explained to their men that they should respect him as the eldest lady.
However, the psychological activities of these three men are somewhat different.
Chunshuang's man Xia Tiezhu ranks firmly in the top five among the Taiping elders. He is diligent and conscientious. He is a down-to-earth person who focuses on work and does not fight or compete.
His brother Xia Tieniu is the first deputy city lord of Taiping City and is deeply trusted by Li Xiuer.
After Li Xiuer was promoted to Wu Zun, she devoted more energy to martial arts training, and most of the practical work has been handed over to others.
If we use the Dawu convention to explain, she is now actually guarding Wu Zun.
Xia Tieniu is now the number one who actually manages Taiping City and exercises the authority of Dawu Mansion Zun.
Needless to say, Xia Tiezhu's wife Chunshuang, it is not an exaggeration to say that Gu Ke is her backer.
His brothers and wives are all elders, and he himself is an elder, so no one will provoke him.
Therefore, Xia Tiezhu's mind was not complicated. He did not have too many fantasies about Gu Ke's identity. He thought that he was also from Xianshan, otherwise he could not have had a close relationship with the eldest lady.
It must be said that sometimes the logic of honest people is simple, but they often return to the basics and get straight to the core.
Xia Tiezhu's idea was basically consistent with the facts, but he did not think of Gu Ke as one of the four great ancestors.
Xia Lan's bookish husband was much smarter and speculated a little deeper. He thought that Gu Ke was related to the four great ancestors, perhaps their relatives, disciples, and grandchildren.
With such an identity, it was reasonable to have an equal relationship with the eldest lady.
Of course, this person was also a cautious and dutiful person. This kind of unwarranted speculation was only thought about in his mind, and he did not mention it to his wife Xia Lan.
The most jumpy person was naturally Dongyan's husband, Li Xiu'er's brother Li Gou'er - his full name was Li Shen.
Gu Ke never called him by his full name, and always called him "gou'er gou'er".
However, there were not many people in Taiping City who could see Gu Ke. These people had watched Li Shen wear open-crotch pants and expose his nipples in his childhood.
Being called a dog in front of these people, Li Shen didn't have any embarrassing problems.
Like in Gu Ke's previous life, when he met his parents and some elders to chat, he would suddenly hear a sentence "He peed on me when he was a child", which was a social death scene.
In addition, Li Shen's thoughts are indeed a bit dog.
The two honest people's thoughts are normal, but this guy can't control his brain and often has some disrespectful thoughts.
For example, when Gu Ke was setting off fireworks at this moment, he could detect that this dog was muttering in his heart: Wow, cheap master really knows how to coax girls, I don't know how many girls he has coaxed with this hand.
Gu Ke wanted to complain in reverse, but... this dog only has Dongyan as a wife.
And Li Gou'er loves to play, but he has no interest in women.
To put it simply, he is like a fishing friend, card friend, ball friend, and drama friend. He is keen on many interesting things, and women will only interfere with his time for playing.
It's only because Dongyan has a special identity and great means that he can manage him more obediently.
If he were to marry an ordinary woman, he would probably not see her except when sleeping.
Not long after, the bastard muttered in his heart: How did the cheap master set off the fireworks? I couldn't see any clues. Alas, you really tried your best to seduce the young lady.
After a while, the guy changed his mind again: Hey, why are there still fireworks?
Oh, the master's share was let go. Now is it the share of the four aunts, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum?
Alas, the master is eating what is in the bowl, but he still doesn't forget what is in the pot. You really wasted too much time. Don't you understand that men's happiness is best to stay away from women!
Gu Ke smiled and glanced at the bastard.
Reprimand? Not exist.
After the ten thousandth level of the Wuxiang Zhenjing, it is not too easy to spy on other people's minds.
Among the people present, only the eldest lady is in the Wuhun realm, and she has completely restrained her thoughts and will not reveal her thoughts.
For the rest, even if they are Wu Zun, he can accurately capture their leaked consciousness.
But he usually tries to restrain himself and not take the initiative to spy.
Li Gou'er is just too active in thinking and he pushes his ideas everywhere.
Gu Ke can understand this way of thinking, so he will not expose Li Gou'er, let alone expose his ability to spy on people's hearts.
Otherwise, if the young lady reacts one day and remembers that he has been "spying on her screen" before she reached the Wuhun realm, it will be a lot of fun.
But after today... Humph! He glanced at Dong Yan: I'll give this old friend some New Year gifts later.
With Dong Yan's means, he should be able to give Li Gou'er a "good" future quietly.
In the last life, the naughty kid was afraid of summer homework, five exams and three mock tests, and the voluntary teaching of Dawu in this life was also done by Gu Ke.
To deal with this dog, let's make him a first and second year graduate student, and if it's not easy, let's make him a "research group".
Anyway, there are a lot of problems to be solved in the literary classics, including astronomy, geography, and martial arts skills.
Is it too much to give some to Li Shen, the "pillar" of Taiping City? It's just that the cheap master is optimistic about this dog thing and gave it a little tempering.
Except for this little accident, no one else has any weird moth.
Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju do have their own thoughts, but within the normal range, no dog thing is outrageous.
Among the three women of Chun, Xia and Dong, only Dong Yan is more thoughtful, but it is limited to how to maintain a friendship with Gu Ke.
A big reason for this is to consider her husband Li Gou'er, and the rest is to pave the way for future generations.
This is human nature, and Gu Ke will not be disgusted with the other party because of this, although Dong Yan's thoughts are not necessary.
Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong have signed a friendship contract after all, and have shared hardships with him for a period of time.
Even if they are far inferior to Xiaoman, Bai Suqing, and the eldest lady, and even inferior to Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju, they are still much closer than other people in Dawu.
In these years, the collective blessing of the fairy mountain has never missed their relatives and family members.
For this reason alone, the starting point of their family members and descendants is much higher than that of ordinary great warriors.
Not to mention that Chunxiaqiudong also has the Blood Sea Red Lotus Treasure Book in his hands. Although it is exclusive to women, it is a perfect martial art that leads directly to the entry of Martial Saint.
There are also several high-quality martial arts that have been revised and modified by the eldest lady and Gu Ke. The quality is currently one level lower, and they can be practiced to Martial Honor more smoothly.
When it is improved in the future, it will be supplemented for them, and they can also practice to Martial Saint.
It can only be said that Gu Ke is still very sentimental.
When it does not involve his core interests, he does not mind giving more benefits to old acquaintances.
After the fireworks ended, Li Xiuer said goodbye first, Chunxiadong bowed to Gu Ke tactfully, and then bowed to the eldest lady.
After leaving the eldest lady's courtyard far away, Li Gou'er couldn't hold it in any longer: "Yan'er, our master... um?"
Dong Yan pinched his mouth with annoyance: "Shut up."
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the courtyard in the distance and smiled bitterly: "You wait to be punished by Sister Xiu'er when you go back."
Li Gou'er: "Ah???"
Dong Yan didn't explain, and didn't dare to explain here.
The eldest lady's promotion to the spirit realm was not publicized.
Li Xiu'er knew it, but didn't tell her brother. After all, he was named "Shen", and the meaning was self-evident.
Similarly, Dong Yan heard about this from Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju because of the friendship contract, and she didn't tell her man either.
It can only be said that whether a person is good or not has nothing to do with whether he is talkative or not.
The eldest lady is not married yet.
Only during the Chinese New Year, Li Gou'er could come to visit the eldest lady as a family member of Li Xiu'er and Dong Yan, and he was strictly forbidden to stare at her.
As a man, he would not be allowed to enter the courtyard even if he was called by his master and cheap master in his heart.
But this dog was very curious and asked his sister and wife privately.
Li Xiu'er and Dong Yan would not talk much about the eldest lady, but would only follow the routine three steps - be honest, shut up, and get out.
So, he naturally didn't know that the great martial arts master who killed and injured two demon gods in the battle on Blue Bay Island was the eldest lady.
He didn't know that the words spoken ten miles away were no different from those spoken by the strong men in the martial soul realm.
The eldest lady was never an easy person to talk to, but it was difficult for most people and things to anger her.
The only thing to be thankful for was that Li Gou'er said "master", and the eldest lady might be embarrassed, but she would not be angry.
But if he continued to talk... the consequences were unpredictable.
In the courtyard, Gu Ke paused for a moment while holding the tea, secretly praising "What a dog".
The eldest lady's face turned red, and it was unclear whether she was angry or embarrassed.
He pretended not to know, and would not reveal it.
In life, it is rare to be lenient.
Especially for the eldest lady's temperament, you must be more lenient and leave enough face for her.
On the contrary, if you do this well, she is actually quite easy to talk to.
Unlike Xiaoman, once she has a goal, she will achieve it shamelessly, and it is very difficult to ignore... no, it is to persuade.
After letting the eldest lady get through the initial awkward period, he stepped forward and held her hand: "Come, Dongjun, drink some hot tea first."
Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju ignored the intimate behavior of the two, and consciously moved the brocade stool. The four sisters gathered together and chatted while eating pine nuts and peanuts.
Although they didn't know what was wrong with their eldest lady, they believed in someone, at least he was good at coaxing the eldest lady.
Fine snow froth flew in the wind, the charcoal fire in the house was slightly red, the tea fragrance was whispering, and the New Year's Eve was spent quietly like this.
