Cultivating Immortals From Prison

Chapter 221 King Zhao's Attitude
After Wen Xiao finished speaking, he raised his legs and left, walking out of the hall.

He is already graying at the temples, but his face does not look old, it just adds a bit of vicissitudes and charm.

His back was still straight, and the sun shone in from outside the hall. Wen Xiao turned his back to everyone, making his back look quite stalwart.

Next to the suzerain, Wen Jie raised his hand and gently wiped the corner of his eyes. Looking at this familiar figure from the back, he couldn't help thinking of many, many years ago, it was this figure that supported the Biyun Sect. For the sake of the sect, he He worked hard to bring the sect to a peak, and now, when the sect was in crisis again, he appeared again, igniting a bright flame in the panic and darkness of the world!
After Wen Xiao left, the hall gradually became lively and noisy.

Before Wen Xiao was there, the coercion was too strong, and no one dared to speak. When the superiors were around, the people below would always feel a little uncomfortable.Now that the old suzerain who broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage is gone, everyone dares to speak slowly.

"Great, with the old suzerain taking action, the suzerain's revenge will definitely be avenged!"

"No one can stop my Jade Cloud Sect's rise!"

"God bless my sect! I didn't expect that the old sect master not only did not fall, but also broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, hahaha."

"The third Yuanying Qi Zhenjun in the history of my sect! The old suzerain will definitely lead us to go further!"

"You killed my suzerain, how can you spare that guy?"

When the main hall of Biyun Sect's main peak was full of excitement, the back mountain was completely silent, except for a slight sound of footsteps.

This is the forbidden area of ​​the Biyun Sect, and no entry is allowed without the Sect Master's warrant.

Wen Xiao paced slowly, stepped on the fallen leaves on the ground, and made a slight "chacha" sound. He passed through forbidden caves, and finally came to a tomb.

It was a lonely place, without even grass or trees, only loess pavement and tombs piled up with loess.

Looking at the tomb roughly, there are more than [-] tombs, and each tomb is buried with a generation of Biyun Sect masters. Some ancestors of the previous generation fell outside, and their bodies could not be found, so they would be made into a clothes tomb.

If it is for offering sacrifices, it cannot be said at all, this place is located in the forbidden area of ​​Biyun Sect, ordinary disciples can't come here at all, who would come here?Who will come to pay homage to these dead?Only one person can come here, and that is the current suzerain of each sect.

Perhaps these tombs were for the incumbent suzerains to see, so that they would devote themselves to the sect during their lifetime, so that they could lie here with peace of mind after death.

Wen Xiao walked to a tomb and looked at the tombstone in front of the tomb. On it was written "The Tomb of Wen Xiao, No. 20 Patriarch of the Five Dynasties of Biyun Sect".

At that time, he was closed to death, and it lasted for 200 years. Ren Lieyang also thought that his master had passed away. After Yu Wenxiao retreated for a hundred years, he temporarily erected this tomb. He planned to forcefully open the master when he was about to pass away. In the closed stone room, the master's body was buried in the tomb, but the world is unpredictable, and it was Ren Lieyang who died in the front.

Wen Xiao sighed heavily, instead of smoothing out his tomb, he let it pile up here, and when he was about to sit down in the future, he would lie down inside and wait to die.

He continued walking, and finally stopped before a newly erected tomb. The yellow mud on this tomb was still fresh, with a trace of moisture. In front of the tomb, stood a tombstone that read Author of "The Tomb of Lie Yang, the No. 20 Sixth Patriarch of Biyun Sect".

Wen Xiao stopped in front of the tombstone for a long time, slowly recalling the scenes about his apprentice Ren Lieyang in his mind.

When he was still young, he liked to move but not to be quiet. He often went out to practice. Once he passed by a farmland and heard someone playing a flute, so he went to check it. Ten orifices are connected to nine orifices, but none is understood.

After several conversations, Wen Xiao found this child interesting, and later learned about his poor life experience. After asking his parents who worked in the fields, he brought the bull-headed cowherd boy into the sect and accepted him as a disciple.

I didn't expect that this child had a good talent and was willing to endure hardships. After starting to practice, he made great strides all the way, surpassing all his peers, and even that child Wenjie was willing to bow down.

"Lieyang, you have lived up to your teacher's entrustment, you have taken good care of the sect."

"You are not worthy of the ancestors of the past generations, you are not worthy of the sect."

"You died for the great cause of the sect, and you deserve to die."

"Go with peace of mind, Master will avenge you."

Wen Xiao's eyes slowly moved away from the tombstone, looking at the distant sky, the blue sky, white clouds and green mountains, vast and high, he remained silent, with an indifferent expression, as if his heart was far away, thinking about something.

Yinguo, capital city, Qiumingfang.

Dark clouds cover the moon, and the night is as black as ink, and you can't see your fingers.

Gu family, in Gu Shen's room, he slowly opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"It's not far from the completion of "Taibai Sword", but I always feel that it's still a little bit short. If I can't find this little inspiration, I'm afraid it will hinder me for a while."

"Taibai Sword" is a gold medal-level spiritual skill after all, Gu Shen still underestimated the difficulty of this spiritual skill before, but now he finally stumbled on this spiritual skill.

Gu Shen took a deep breath, he also knew that the journey of cultivation was not in a hurry, one day, he would be able to comprehend "Taibai Sword" to the perfect stage, and he was still very confident in his comprehension.

After adjusting his state, Gu Shen felt a gust of wind blowing, it was the strong wind tonight, and the window of the room was blown open.

Gu Shen got out of bed, walked to the window, did not close the window immediately, looked out the window at the dark night, there is no moon tonight.

Standing in front of the window, you can feel the howling wind outside even more. This season, there is rarely such a strong wind.

The pitch-black moonlight and the whistling wind made Gu Shen feel restless, which is a rare situation.

Gently close the window, Gu Shen stood in front of the window, the window blocked the strong wind outside, but it was hard to block the restlessness in his heart.

Gu Shen frowned, at his current state, sometimes some subconscious reactions might really be a harbinger of something.

"Is it the power behind Bai Wuchang?"

Gu Shen whispered.

A strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart, he turned around again, returned to the bed and continued to comprehend "Taibai Sword".

Silent night.

A luxurious carriage drove into Xinghuafang and stopped in front of Lu's Mansion, and the accompanying servants went to report to the concierge of Lu's Mansion.

Soon, the door of Lu's Mansion was closed and opened, and a group of people walked out, led by the mistress of Lu's Mansion, Princess Mingyue Zhao Jianjia.

"Father."

Princess Mingyue walked up to the luxurious carriage and shouted.

The next moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a majestic middle-aged man with an inch-long beard got out of the carriage. It was King Zhao.

King Zhao hummed lightly, and entered the Lu Mansion together with Princess Mingyue.

Entering Lu's mansion, King Zhao withdrew his servants and asked his daughter, "Jian Jia, has Yuanming returned to the mansion?"

Zhao Jianjia nodded and said: "Not long after I came back, I wanted to go to the palace to report to my father, but I stopped me. I thought it would disturb my father's rest so late, so I let him sleep in the room first, and wait until tomorrow morning." Go to the palace again, he is sleeping in the room, please wait a moment, father, I will call him."

After Zhao Jianjia finished speaking, she was about to turn around and call Lu Yuanming, but just as she turned around, she was stopped by King Zhao.

Zhao Wangdao: "Wait a minute, Yuanming must be extremely exhausted from working on state affairs, let him sleep, this king is waiting here."

When Zhao Jianjia heard the words, she was so shocked that she almost bit her tongue off. She glanced at her father in disbelief. Such words would come from her father's mouth. It was like a different person. The cabinet can be regarded as an "important minister of the court", but in the eyes of the father, it is nothing. In the past, when the husband and wife went to the palace, King Zhao always showed off his skills and often wanted to make some decisions. Today What's going on here?
Zhao Jianjia's mind is full of question marks now, but since her father said so, she wished that her husband could rest for a while, and his father valued him so much, Zhao Jianjia also felt that his face was quite radiant and his heart was beautiful. It's just that she couldn't figure it out, why did the king's father change his attitude so much?
"Don't stand still, sit down too. It just so happens that I have something to ask you." Zhao Wang looked at his daughter in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

My son-in-law is indeed not bad, he is a dragon and a phoenix among people, but as a high-ranking King Zhao, are there not many dragons and phoenixes among the people around him?Which one is not a dragon and a phoenix among people?
So Wang Zhao objected to his daughter's insistence on marrying Lu Yuanming at the beginning. Lu Yuanming himself is not bad, after all, he is the number one scholar, but to him, what is the number one scholar?Moreover, Lu Yuanming's family background was also very poor. His ancestors were only a magistrate, but in Lu Yuanming's generation, his family was in decline. How could such a family be worthy of his Zhao Wang's daughter-in-law.

It's just that the daughter insisted, and Zhao Wang didn't have too high requirements for family background. After all, compared with family background, who can compare with him?At that time, he also agreed, but in his heart he always felt that Lu Yuanming was a fool, and later he insisted on going to Yingchuan Mansion for a trial because of his disobedience, which angered King Zhao, and he was unwilling to give him a good face. It wasn't until Lu Yuanming returned to Beijing to join the cabinet that the relationship between the two improved a lot, but it was inevitable that they would be picked on by King Zhao.

However, King Zhao never imagined that his son-in-law, who looked foolish and stupefied, would actually get acquainted with that expert in the cultivation world without making a sound.

Zhao Jianjia didn't react to her father's gentle attitude for a while, she nodded in a daze, and obediently sat on a big mahogany chair next to her, "What does my father want to ask?"

King Zhao pondered for a while, and asked, "Do you know that Yuanming has a good friend in Qiumingfang?"

"Qiu Mingfang?" Zhao Jianjia nodded without thinking too much, "There is one named Gu Shen, Yuan Ming often goes to see him, and he also occasionally comes to the mansion to look for Yuan Ming."

Lu Yuanming didn't like to socialize, and after entering the official career, he seldom made friends with outsiders. He only had three or five friends. As for his best friend, there was only one Gu Shen.

Because of the irreversible relationship between Lu Yuanming and Gu Shen, even Zhao Jianjia knew Gu Shen quite a bit. Although she once disliked Gu Shen very much and thought he was a prodigal son, but because of her husband, Zhao Jianjia did not object to the friendship between Lu Yuanming and Gu Shen.

So after Zhao Wang mentioned Lu Yuanming's friend in Qiumingfang, Zhao Jianjia mentioned Gu Shen without thinking.

King Zhao's eyes lit up, and he said, "How much do you know about this person? Tell me all about it."

Zhao Jianjia nodded, she knew a lot about Gu Shen, she organized her words a little, and then began to say, "Father, this Gu Shen is very strange, he is a strange person before and after"

Regarding his father, Zhao Jianjia had no reservations, and told everything he knew about Gu Shen like beans in a bamboo tube.

King Zhao listened very carefully, the more he listened, the brighter his eyes became. He was almost sure that the Gu Shen his daughter was talking about was the mysterious "powerful man in the cultivation world".

The daughter said that Gu Shen sometimes suddenly appeared in Yuanming's study, and sometimes disappeared in the blink of an eye when he left, so she thought that he was good at light kung fu and had once been a flower picker.

"hiss."

When he heard his daughter say that he was once bored and reprimanded this person, King Zhao couldn't help but gasped, his face turned slightly pale, he was an expert who could easily destroy the entire Yin country.

However, this also reflected from the side that this expert in the "cultivation world" should have a good temper, which made Zhao Wang heave a sigh of relief.

Through Zhao Jianjia's description, Zhao Wang also gradually outlined the image of Gu Shen in his mind.

He likes to wear white clothes, looks handsome, has an extraordinary temperament, and has a gentle temper. He is a fairy, but that's all.

The two talked for a long time.

"Father, shall I wake Yuanming up?" Zhao Jianjia said.

Zhao Wang waved his hand and said: "Wait a little longer, it's almost Mao hour, he should wake up too."

"This - okay." Zhao Jianjia yawned, and now she really wanted to wake up Lu Yuanming, let him deal with the father, it was her turn to sleep.

Seeing Zhao Jianjia feeling sleepy and yawning again and again, Zhao Wang said: "Jianjia, go back to your room and rest."

"Father, I'm not sleepy, I'm here to accompany you."

"You don't need to accompany me, you go back to your room to rest, don't wake Yuanming up, or I won't spare you, go back, I have to think about it by myself."

Zhao Jianjia saw that her father really had something to think about, and that she was indeed sleepy, so she nodded, left the hall, and went back to the bedroom to rest.

An hour later.

The rooster crowed in the morning, and the sky turned white.

Lu Yuanming rubbed his sleepy eyes, patted the robe on his body, walked out of the bedroom, passed through two screens, came to the hall, and walked straight to a desk, ready to pour a cup of tea to soothe his throat that hadn't drenched all night .

He raised the teapot, poured a cup of warm water, and took the teacup to his mouth. While drinking the water, he turned around, only to find that there was a person sitting on another big mahogany chair not far behind him. , this shocked Lu Yuanming, when he saw the other person's appearance and recognized the other person's identity——

puff!
A sip of strong tea spewed out!
Fortunately, Lu Yuanming turned around quickly and did not spray all the tea in his mouth on Zhao Wang, but it did spray a lot.

Zhao Wang's face froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Looking at Lu Yuanming who was stupidly standing there, he pulled a slightly stiff smile on his face, and said, "My son-in-law, are you awake?"

"My lord?" Lu Yuanming was taken aback and was about to kneel down, but was supported by King Zhao, making it difficult to kneel down.

Zhao Wang's face was serious, and he said: "Don't call me Wang Ye, call me father-in-law. Also, we are all a family, so don't kneel down at every turn."

Lu Yuanming: "."

Lu Yuanming couldn't kneel down, so he stood up, looked at King Zhao, and said, "Father-in-law?"

Zhao Wang smiled and said, "I'm waiting for you."

Lu Yuanming was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and looked at the trembling servant outside.

Zhao Wangdao: "Don't blame them, I didn't let them call you, and I didn't wait long."

Lu Yuanming withdrew his gaze, looked at King Zhao, and said, "What's wrong with my father-in-law?"

King Zhao chuckled and said, "You go and wash up first, and we'll talk after that."

Lu Yuanming thought that it would be rude to talk to his father-in-law who was disheveled, so he responded, and then hurried out to wash up.

After Lu Yuanming left, the smile on Zhao Wang's face also disappeared. He took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped off the tea on his face without any haste, and then sat back on the big mahogany chair to wait for Lu Yuanming to come back.

At this time, a servant outside the door came to report, "My lord, Zhang Xianshi has something to report."

Zhao Wang frowned, not sure what Zhang Xianshi wanted to report, but since he found this place, it should not be a trivial matter, he said: "Hurry up and bring him to see me."

The servant took the order, turned around and left quickly.

After a while, the servant came in with an old man with a handsome appearance and bearded hair.

"My lord."

"Master Zhang Xian."

After the two greeted each other, King Zhao asked, "What does Master Zhang have to tell this king?"

Immortal Master Zhang looked solemn, and said: "My lord, I just got the news that the Biyun Sect has already set off. They want to come for revenge, and they will continue their previous plan to establish a branch here."

King Zhao was stunned, and asked in confusion: "Didn't their suzerain all die at the hands of that mysterious strong man? How dare they dare to come?"

Immortal Master Zhang sighed, and said: "Who would have thought that Wen Xiao, the previous patriarch of Biyun Sect, would still be alive, and the death of Ren Lieyang forced this person to come out and preside over the overall situation."

"The suzerain of the previous generation?" King Zhao was astonished, and said, "How is it compared to the suzerain who died this time?"

Zhang Xianshi said: "It's too strong. The old lord of the Biyun Sect has probably broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. There is no comparison between the two."

Zhao Wang asked again: "How is it compared to that mysterious strong man?"

Immortal Master Zhang thought for a while, and said: "The old master of the Biyun sect should be better. That person's luck has been reduced this time. If there is no accident, he will definitely fall into the hands of the old master of the Biyun sect."

When King Zhao heard this, he couldn't help feeling dizzy for a while.

Holding the desk, King Zhao steadied himself, looked at Zhang Xianshi, and said, "Zhang Xianshi, do you take this news seriously?"

"It's absolutely true!" Master Zhang Xian said.

King Zhao's face was cloudy and uncertain.

Fortunately, I was not in a hurry to meet the strong man in the Qiuming Square, otherwise, when the person from the Jade Cloud Sect arrives, they may settle with me, and there will be no way to survive.

King Zhao took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Xianshi, and said, "Zhang Xianshi, let's go.",

After Zhao Wang finished speaking, he walked out together with Zhang Xianshi.

Seeing this, the servants outside the hall asked, "Isn't the lord waiting for my lord?"

Zhao Wang walked out of Lu Mansion quickly without saying a word.

Not long after, Lu Yuanming came back after washing, but he didn't see Yue Zhang's figure. After some inquiries, he realized that he had already left.

For a while, Lu Yuanming was a little puzzled, isn't there something wrong?Why did you leave suddenly?
