Cultivating Immortals From Prison

Chapter 230
Along the way, Zheng Lin was very calm and composed. She wanted to take Gu Xiao to a safe place and take care of the child's growth, but her heart felt like a knife was twisted.

With the Jade Cloud Sect's army pressing down on the situation, and the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator personally making the move, the junior brother must have already known that the danger is more than good. Otherwise, with his character, how could he send her and Gu Xiao away unless it was absolutely necessary.

Along the way, every time she thought of this, her heart would feel ashamed, and she wished she could turn around and go back, even if it was irreparable, she could die with him and walk together on the road to hell.

But she suppressed the grief in her heart, her face was the same as before, comforting Gu Xiao, and she couldn't make the child feel uncomfortable.

But she never thought that he would appear again. The moment he fell from the sky, her whole world seemed to brighten up again. Finally, Zheng Lin couldn't bear it anymore, and tears fell down her cheeks.

Between life and death, you can see your original heart.

These are not tears of sadness, these are tears of joy from the heart.

Ten thousand years at a glance, but that's it.

"Daddy."

At some point, Gu Xiao had lifted his head that was in Gu Shen's arms, moved his body slightly to the side, stretched out his hand to push Gu Shen, pouted his mouth in the direction where Zheng Lin was standing, and motioned for his father to comfort his aunt. Aunt.

This girl is very clever, she is a big kid, she knows everything in her heart.

Gu Shen lowered his head and glanced at his daughter, then looked at his senior sister again, walked forward slowly, and walked up to her, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't speak.

Looking at the crying woman in front of him, he became nervous.

Finally, Gu Shen slowly stretched out his hand, brushed the corners of the woman's eyes, wiped them lightly, and said softly, "Senior Sister."

Unexpectedly, the woman cried even more fiercely, tears rolled down in strings, pear blossoms drizzled with rain.

Gu Shen couldn't help panicking, he had never panicked when he was in the life-and-death battle with Zhenjun Yuanying, but now in front of Zheng Lin, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated and he was flustered.

It was the first time Zheng Lin saw Gu Shen in such a state of bewilderment, she couldn't help crying and laughing, she patted Gu Shen's hand wiping her eyes angrily, and said, "I didn't want to cry at first, Blame you."

But after slapping Gu Shen's hand off, Zheng Lin couldn't help feeling regretful again, feeling a little lost in her heart.

Gu Xiao danced and clapped his hands behind him, and said loudly: "Yes, yes, it was Daddy who made Auntie cry, it's Daddy's fault."

Under Gu Xiao's coaxing, the two of them blushed at the same time.

Zheng Lin wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, her emotions slowly recovered, and then she remembered the business, her face changed suddenly, she stretched out her hand to hold Gu Shen's arm, and said anxiously: "Junior Brother, let's go quickly, we will go through the Yuan Kingdom and arrive at Bodhisattva Que's territory is gone, I heard that the female cultivators of Bodhisattva Que are extremely powerful, Biyun Sect dare not provoke them, we will be safe if we escape there."

Gu Shen held Zheng Lin's hand instead, and said with a light smile, "Senior Sister, you don't have to go."

Zheng Lin was taken aback when she heard this.

Gu Shen then roughly told Zheng Lin the story of his battle with Wen Xiao, but he didn't say that he was shot down by Ai Yanxi and was seriously injured. It's all in the past, and talking about it will only increase worry.

It's just that although Gu Shen didn't describe what happened in detail, Zheng Lin could imagine that it must be extremely dangerous.

She looked Gu Shen up and down carefully, and asked with concern, "Are you injured?"

Gu Shen smiled and shook his head, "No."

"Really?" Zheng Lin didn't believe it. That was the Nascent Soul Stage True Monarch. It was not easy to win the battle. How could he not be injured?
Gu Shen said: "I suffered a slight injury, but it's already healed. Look, I don't have any physical problems now."

While talking, Gu Shen made a few difficult movements, startled Zheng Lin, and asked him to stop quickly, but he also felt relieved.

The two talked a few more words, Gu Shen turned his head to look at Gu Xiao, who was watching the fun, his expression became solemn, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Don't you put away those two Yantao Leis in your hand?"

"Oh." Gu Xiao said lightly, shrunk his neck, and put Yan Taolei in both hands back into the storage bag.

Zheng Lin was taken aback for a moment, and then realized Gu Xiao's actions before reacting, and said in astonishment: "Didn't Xiaoxiao hold the Thunder Orb? How did it become Yantao Lei?"

Gu Shen looked at Gu Xiao threateningly, and said, "It must be that this girl only has two Honglei pearls in her hand. Yan Taolei and Honglei pearls are somewhat similar in shape, and this girl is using Yantaolei to pretend to be Honglei." Pearl, scare those casual cultivators."

"This—" Zheng Lin was shocked, and her beautiful eyes were full of surprise.

Although the shapes of the Thunder Bead and Yantaolei are somewhat similar, their effects are quite different. The Thunder Bead has the attribute of attacking and has a certain power.As for Yan Taolei, he flung it out when he fled and escaped, and a cloud of smoke rose up, which was not aggressive.

Zheng Lin looked at Gu Shen and said, "Have you ever taught her how to deal with enemies?"

Gu Shen shook his head.

Zheng Lin looked at the little girl again, and said, "Where did you learn this?"

Gu Xiao frowned slightly, and said: "Is this still worth learning? Even fools know it?"

A few black lines appeared on Zheng Lin's forehead.

Do all fools know?
Then she is worse than a fool?
Now Zheng Lin looks at Gu Xiao with a bit of surprise in her eyes. At this moment, what she thinks in her heart is the same as that of the previous casual practitioners. This little girl used to only practice and has never had combat experience. Today is her In the first battle, he looked like an experienced veteran.

Suddenly, a bad idea came to her mind.

"This girl is so good at fighting, she won't fight with people every day in the future, will she?"

In the past, they only knew that Gu Xiao's cultivation talent was very good. This time, Gu Shen and Zheng Lin discovered another talent of this girl. She is good at fighting and has excellent psychological quality.

The two looked at each other, as if they knew what the other was thinking.

Gu Xiao looked at his father and aunt suspiciously.

"Sister, let's go home."

"Well, let's go home."

……

……

Gu Shen drove Jinxia, ​​took her senior sister and daughter, and rushed home.

In less than a stick of incense, the three returned to the capital.

The sky was getting dark, and looking down from a high place, the capital was bustling with bustle and bustle. All the towns and cities were bustling with activity, carrying out post-war reconstruction of the capital. Among them were officers, soldiers, ordinary people, warriors and even monks.

This time, Gu Shen and Wen Xiao's fight has had a great impact and spread to a very wide range. If they were closer to the ground, the entire Gyeonggi area might be razed to the ground.

But even if the two fought away from the ground and tried to cause as little damage as possible to the ordinary world, thousands of houses were damaged in varying sizes, and the economic losses caused directly or indirectly were immeasurable.

Although the common people in the capital have taken evacuation measures at the first time due to their previous experience, there are still unavoidable casualties, and there are not many of them. In danger, he was crushed to death at home.

In a fight between monks, there are countless casualties among ordinary people. No wonder there is an unwritten common sense in the cultivation world-mortal lives are like ants.

The high-ranking monks never consider the innocent disasters of mortals unless their interests are involved.

As Gu Shen gradually left the world of mortals and integrated more and more into the world of self-cultivation, he himself has not realized that he is also slowly assimilated by some thoughts of the world of self-cultivation.This is unavoidable for most monks except saints.

Gu Shen's spiritual sense covered the capital, scanned the [-] squares, and found something strange.Today, among the [-] squares in the capital, [-] squares have suffered damage of varying sizes, with houses collapsing and people mourning. Only in Qiuming Square, everything has not been swept away by the aftermath of mana. It was the same as before, but there is also a difference, that is, many houses in Qiumingfang are now completely new.

Without thinking too much, Gu Shen knew why this happened, the court must have repaired the Qiuming Square immediately.
Whoosh!
The rays of light fell in the courtyard, and then gradually dispersed, revealing the figures of Gu Shen, Zheng Lin, and Gu Xiao among them.

"Uncle Lu?"

"Mr. Lu?"

Zheng Lin and Gu laughed out loud.

In front of the stone table under the phoenix tree in the courtyard, Lu Yuanming was sitting here with a depressed and sad face. Seeing Zheng Lin and Gu Xiao coming back, Lu Yuanming just breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and fought with the two of them. call.

The gradually yellowing sycamore leaves fell to the ground, and a gust of autumn wind blew by, and when the leaves were rolled up, it also brought a bit of coolness.

Gu Shen went to the stone table and sat down on another stone bench, "Old Lu, why are you waiting here?"

Gu Shen's spiritual sense had already seen Lu Yuanming before, and he roughly guessed the purpose of Lu Yuanming waiting here.

Lu Yuanming sighed, not in a high mood, and said, "I'm waiting for you by order."

"Wait for me by order?" Gu Shen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Emperor Chongning asked you to come?"

Lu Yuanming nodded, and said: "Yes, because of my relationship with you, he promoted me to an official position, and allowed me to take full charge of the reconstruction of the capital, and let me take the treasury."

Gu Shen looked at the dejected Lu Yuanming, and said with a smile, "Well, you old Lu, aren't you happy to be promoted?"

Lu Yuanming took a deep breath, then sighed deeply, and said: "What I hope for is not to be an official. What I hope is peace in the world and the common people live and work in peace and contentment. But as far as I can see, there are patches of white silk and mourning from every family. I would rather not be promoted to my official position than so many ordinary people die in vain!"

While speaking, his tone couldn't help but aggravate a lot.

"What's wrong with them? What kind of law did they commit? Even if they recruited you or provoked you? But they died because of your fight. They are not cattle, sheep, animals, they are human lives!"

Gu Shen frowned slightly, and he could tell that Lao Lu's words contained a bit of dissatisfaction and questioning towards him, "I will try my best to compensate them."

Gu Shen also doesn't want so many people to die because of him. After all, he has been an ordinary person for many years, and he has empathy for those ordinary people, but sometimes things are beyond his control. Too high, too strong, no matter where you fight, someone will die because of it, Gu Shen chose the place of the battle above the sky, in order to minimize some casualties, there is only so much he can do.

Even if he asked to set the battle location at the Furious Mountains, Wen Xiao would not agree.

"Compensation? Ha ha." Lu Yuanming sneered when he heard the words. He looked at Gu Shen and said, "Master Gu, those who died and their families don't need your compensation. place."

Lu Yuanming's face was serious, his lips were tightly pursed, and his expression was tense. He suddenly stood up and said, "I still have to go to various workshops to arrange relief, so I'm leaving first."

After finishing speaking, Lu Yuanming turned around and strode away.

A fire was burning in Lu Yuanming's heart, and his breathing was a little heavy. He walked along the Aiyan River for an unknown amount of time. Looking at the full moon reflected in the Aiyan River, the indignation in his heart had dissipated unconsciously. , A wave of regret welled up in my heart.

Lu Yuanming stopped and walked back, but stopped after walking a few steps, pacing back and forth many times.

"Lu Yuanming, Lu Yuanming, why are you still venting your anger on Lao Gu? He must be exhausted from the life-and-death battle today, hey, shouldn't be!"

Lu Yuanming regretted in his heart.

Today, Gu Shen was fighting with the old master of the Biyun Sect in the sky. He saw it all, and he was very worried about Gu Shen. Being shot down from the sky by the old Patriarch of Biyun Sect, his heart became entangled.

But after that war, he traveled all over the capital and saw too many tragedies. The old man lost his children, his wife lost her husband, and the child lost her parents. Lu Yuanming's heart was bleeding, and he also held his breath.

Originally, he was in charge of the post-war reconstruction of the capital with all his heart, but the emperor appointed him to sit in Gu Shen's house and wait for Gu Shen to come back, and then asked if Gu Daqiang had any needs or ideas. In short, just one sentence, Serve this ancestor well, and everything that is required will be supplied by the imperial court.

The restlessness in his heart, the disdain for the court, the compassion for the people, all these kinds of things made him full of anger, and finally broke out after seeing Gu Shen.

Lu Yuanming sighed heavily, feeling a little dizzy, propped up on the willow tree on the bank of the stream with one hand, and looked up at the bright moon hanging high, the moonlight was like water pouring down, quite cold.

People, it's always like this, leave your bad temper to the closest relatives, and regret it alone after it happened.

"Yes, the task assigned by the emperor was not completed, and the matter assigned by the old father-in-law was not done, and he even had a fight with Lao Gu."

Lu Yuanming couldn't help smiling wryly, "I won't be back tonight."

He regained his energy and rushed to Dongshi, which is densely populated and has many buildings. It is the focus of the reconstruction of the capital, and he wants to preside over it in person.

Qiumingfang, the Gu family.

Lu Yuanming accused and complained, but Gu Shen didn't think anything of it. He knew Lao Lu's character and could tolerate him, but Zheng Lin was very angry.

Zheng Lin raised her eyebrows and said with a cold face: "Why does he say that about you? Without you, they would not be able to keep the whole court!"

Gu Shen smiled and comforted him: "Senior sister, I know Lao Lu very well, but I feel panicked and whine."

"I can't complain to you!" Zheng Lin stared, and said, "Anyway, I don't care. From now on, he is not welcome in our family, and he is not allowed to enter the house again!"

Gu Shen couldn't laugh or cry at his senior sister's fierce reaction.

Just as he turned his eyes, he suddenly thought of an extremely important person, and his heart tightened suddenly.
