Chapter 1048: Deep into the Southern Wilderness
Gu Ju ate a whole ding of meat in one meal.
And it's flesh and blood with explosive power.
If it is an ordinary person, maybe at most you can only smell it from a distance, not to mention eating meat, even if you only take a small sip of broth, I am afraid that your body will explode and die on the spot.
However, Gu Juan did not eat the whole rabbit alone.
Except for the essence parts that contained the most spiritual power into his stomach, some other edges and corners were not wasted, and they were used to the maximum extent by the careful Chef Zhang.
First of all, the rest of the blood, except for a little soaked in the bath that was drunk and dreamed of death by the ugly dog, most of it was poured into the blood spring, which instantly raised the quality of the blood spring to another level.
The second is the snow-white fur, which was taken by the red clothes and preserved well, and he is going to make several sets of leather armor from it in the future, and then make two unique fur coats in this world, which can be regarded as getting out the husband and wife clothes that Gu Juan has said several times.
Then there were those leftovers that were not very nutritious in the eyes of the red clothes, so she no longer did it herself, but let Chef Zhang take charge of the spoon, and added a lot of demon beast corpses to it, stewed out I don't know how many simplified and diluted versions of the Jade Rabbit Fairy Spirit Soup, and held a Jade Rabbit Banquet, which was given to those close and meritorious to enjoy.
For a time, the fragrance of the manor outside the city floated for ten miles and lasted for a long time.
The banquet began in a joyful and ended in a peaceful one.
Whether it was a human being or a non-human being, whether it was a monk who had embarked on the path of cultivation, or an ordinary mortal who could not absorb the spiritual elements of heaven and earth, they were all polite and had a good conversation, and no one dared to make a little trouble in this place and on such an occasion.
Gu Juan and Hongyi even appeared at the Jade Rabbit Banquet hand in hand, although they only drank a glass of wine and left the table immediately after saying a few words, it also made everyone who participated in the banquet proud and excited.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, in the garden deep in the manor, in the center of a sea of bright red flowers, a small table was also set up, and Chef Zhang personally poured wine and cloth dishes to serve the two people in front of the table.
Xu Zhengyuan took a sip of spiritual tea, took the broth handed by Chef Zhang and drank a bowl, and his originally pale face quietly became a little more moist red.
He closed his eyes and was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "Is this the jade rabbit in the Moon Palace, it tastes really good." ”
"The main thing is that the ingredients are good, and it is also thanks to Chef Zhang's willingness to work hard and study carefully, and make this pot of soup that can regulate the body and prolong life, otherwise I would not have asked Your Majesty to come to eat this meal. ”
After digesting all the rabbit meat essence, Gu Juan's body changes finally stabilized.
His body looks a little weak on the surface, looking like a young man, but hidden under the crystal jade skin, it is a completely different non-human flesh and bones, wisps of energy and electricity are swimming and meandering, as if every cell contains amazing power, once it erupts, it will be a landslide and a crack, and the stone will break the earth.
"Oh, that's Mr. Lao Zhang. Xu Zhengyuan nodded slightly at Chef Zhang, with a gentle smile on his face.
It's not the first time they've met, and they've had a lot of contact with each other before because of the Juntian matter, so they can be regarded as old friends and quite familiar.
After three rounds of wine, after five flavors of soup.
Xu Zhengyuan put down the dishes and chopsticks, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "The national teacher just said that there may be a period of calm in the world from now on, and then usher in drastic changes again, what I want to know is how long this period of calm can last, and what kind of situation will the upheaval be after that." ”
Gu Juan's face was calm, and he raised his finger and pointed to the second round of the full moon hanging high in the sky, "As the old saying goes, there are clouds, people have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny. His Majesty wants to know how long this period of calm will last, and only needs to carefully observe the gray spots inside the silver moon and calculate when it will be able to completely occupy the Moon Palace, and he should be able to make a rough inference. ”
"In addition to the moon, the sea eye fire gap on the coast of the East China Sea, and the green trees and golden soup in the southern wilderness mountains have also begun to be slowly eroded by that gray, and when all this dust settles, the next change may come. ”
"But to be honest, in what way the next change will be presented, I can only say that the will of heaven is like a knife, unpredictable and difficult to follow, and I dare not speak falsely. ”
Xu Zhengyuan frowned and pondered for a long time, "Then in the eyes of the national teacher, what preparations should the imperial court make before?"
Faced with this question, Gu Juan slowly shook his head and said, "Preparation must be prepared, but now you and I are like blind people touching elephants, and we can't see our true faces, so we can't make targeted preparations. ”
"What does the national teacher mean by digging deep holes, building high walls, and accumulating grain?"
"Your Majesty remembers well, and it seems to me that this is the safest way to respond to all changes without obtaining more accurate information. ”
Xu Zhengyuan stood up, first washed his hands in the basin next to him, and then sighed with emotion, "After a long talk with the national teacher tonight, Zhengyuan has benefited a lot, and it is also the first time that I know that outside the heaven and earth where we live, there is such a vast and boundless scenery, and in addition to our mortals, there are also the existence of heavenly gods and the lord of the cave heavens......
"I really can't imagine how they, who are almost immortal, will look at the beings who are flies and dogs in the turbid world, and what kind of terrifying scene will it be for the Lord of the Nine Shadows and the Yuehua Yuanjun in the name of heaven and earth to fight, and what kind of result will be presented in the end. ”
Gu Juan sat on the chair and did not move, lowered his eyes and looked at an ant crawling slowly at his feet, revealing a faint smile and said, "What do they think of us, this is their business, and it has nothing to do with us, as for the battle between them, in my opinion, it is still a hero who has been a success or failure since ancient times, winning is winning, losing is defeating, the winner is immortal, and the loser will be stinking for thousands of years, this is the reason for the rise and fall, and it has nothing to do with whether it is a mortal or not." ”
................................................
After the Jade Rabbit Feast, the manor outside the city once again returned to a calm that no one approached.
Then after some time, Gu Juan suddenly broke out of the barrier without any warning, came out of the manor alone, and disappeared into the vast wilderness.
A few days later, he first came to the coast of the East China Sea, and after killing many alien fire spirits and sea clan demon beasts, he stopped in front of the fire gap in the sea eye for a long time, carefully observing the faint gray that spread among them, and then went all the way south, straight into the mountains of the Southern Wilderness, and entered the core area under the rule of Qianyuan of the Southern Wilderness.
After traversing the bloody battlefields left by the fierce battles, he no longer concealed his tracks, and appeared in front of the two void barriers between the mountains.
Not long after, a figure shrouded in a black robe slowly appeared, standing behind Gu Ju, silently staring at the void barrier in the distance with him, looking at a faint gray mixed with turquoise and golden colors, and didn't say a word for a long time.
It wasn't until the sky was silently darkened and a light rain fell that the black-robed man said calmly, "It seems that the Black Mountain Lord has encountered a big problem. ”
Gu Juan let the rain drench him, and said with a faint smile when he heard the words, "What you said is good, so I came." ”
The black-robed man was motionless like a stone statue, only a mechanical flat voice sounded from the darkness deep in the hood, "The problems faced by the Black Mountain Monarch are somewhat similar to ours, but they are more serious, we can foresee, when the dust settles in these extraterritorial places, that is, when the death period of the Black Mountain Monarch comes, there is no way to hide, there is no way to avoid it." ”
"It's just that what makes us a little puzzled is that we are inevitably contaminated with this cause and effect after we have personally entered those two void barriers, and with the strength level of the Black Mountain Monarch, it is almost impossible to pass through any barrier, so why can this result occur?"
Hearing such words similar to a curse, Gu Ju's expression was still calm, as if everything the black-robed man said just now had nothing to do with him.
He just exhaled a long breath of cloudy air, "It's a long story, and it has something to do with a rabbit." ”
"Rabbit?"
"Yes, it's the kind of white rabbit that loves to eat turnips and greens, and it jumped at me at the wrong time, in the wrong place, in the wrong place, and it all happened naturally. ”
He didn't continue to say anything here, but pointed to the void barrier in front of him, and changed the subject, "I'm curious, what method did Qianyuanjun use to enter these two barriers, and what kind of scene is it in the extraterritorial land in it now?"
"The Black Mountain Monarch walks alone all the way, and belongs to the extraordinary power of his own body, which is different from us who use the true spirit to condense and assimilate sentient beings, so our living beings can enter, but it is difficult for the Black Mountain Monarch to break through the seemingly dispensable barrier and enter those foreign lands that are strangely connected with this heaven and earth. ”
"So, Montenegro-kun wants to delay the changes that are taking place?"
Gu Juan was noncommittal, but asked rhetorically, "What is the idea of Qianyuan Shengjun about this?"
The black-robed man was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "We have also had such thoughts, but we have not known how many times we have failed before we can be regarded as discovering, from the moment our creatures stepped into the barrier, it was like pushing down the cobblestone standing on the top of the mountain with their own hands, and we could only watch it continue to accelerate, rolling faster and faster, and so far we have not found any way to stop it." ”
At this point, it suddenly revealed a mysterious smile, and its voice became eerie and sharp, "But it wasn't until the end that we suddenly understood why we wanted to stop this change, instead of taking advantage of the trend and guiding the beings of the outer lands to join us, and conspire for the equality of all beings and the great plan of the unity of heaven and earth?"
