258 At the foot of the jade peak, the righteous knot is golden
There are many restaurants on Qingshi Street, but there are really few high-grade ones. The only Qingyun Building with a good reputation stands on Qingshi Street, at the junction of the street and the official road. Sitting on the third floor and looking out of the window, Hao Zheng can see the Jade Peak and the surrounding large and small peaks, standing in front of him like a green cloud, almost covering half of the sky.
This restaurant is usually full of people coming and going, crowded with pilgrims going up and down the mountain. Now there is no one but him, nothing else, but he took out some silver and took the whole restaurant.
Looking back on the experience of the past few days, he still has palpitations.
The Xuantie Guard sent by Emperor Kun Yuan broke into the Yunwang Mansion with a thunderous momentum and brought him to the Jade Palace to participate in this "experience", without giving him time to think and plan at all. It's really a hundred secrets, he almost gave his life here. Fortunately, there was no danger that he came out alive. Although the poison of the root marrow in his body damaged his body, after he returned, he naturally had a doctor to deal with it, but it was not something he needed to worry about.
What he was worried about now was that in the past, he had always been unwary of people coming from Kunyuan Palace, and let them enter for a long time. Now it seems that it is too much to take lightly. With the rise of his prestige in the two states of Jinyu and the cohesion of the people, his father's attitude towards him has become even more different from the past.
Now he has asked Hong to pass the order. In the future, if there is a messenger entering the country, he must be the first to know so that he can deal with it.
Fortunately, this trip was not without its gains. Biluo returned and was promoted to the Jindan Goddess, and Lian Ping was promoted to the Purple Mansion Saintess, and his help was one more point. The Gu clan of Yuntian City colluded with King Xia, and their intentions were clearly revealed. Although the Gu clan has a deep background and a wide range of connections, it is not easy for him to cut it off for the time being, but it is better for such an enemy to jump to the foreground than to hide in the shadows all the time.
There is another thing that makes him particularly complacent, that is, he has experienced life and death with fellow Taoist friends of the same age, such as Gou Xu, Song Ruhai, and Du Li.
As the King of Clouds, there are many people who flatter him or conspire and calculate, but there are really too few people who can really take care of him. Every time he encounters, he is in a particularly happy mood. Not to mention renting a restaurant, what does it matter if you buy Qingshi Street with all your money.
But he also had a trace of ignorance lingering. He feared that one of the young men who had received the invitation would not refuse. This person is none other than Dooley.
It doesn't matter if someone else doesn't come. He wants to make friends, but the other party has no intention of doing so, how can he force it. Those who are like-minded will get together, and those who are not compatible will be far away. But only this woman in white clothes and yellow hair occupied a certain place in his heart, making him feel a hundred claws scratching his heart, fidgeting, and always repeatedly guessing in his heart, will she come?
In case she didn't come, Hao Zheng could already imagine that when he went back to Jinyu City this time, he would definitely have a big empty piece in his heart. He even thought that it would be better if no one else came, and that as long as Dooley came alone, he could rejoice for a long time.
At this moment, he looked at the window and looked directly at the bluestone street, but he was happy in his heart.
And he counted, and all the people he had invited came.
......
Gou Zhu came to the long-lost bluestone street. He grew up as a thief here, so he is naturally very familiar. But now the sight in front of him surprised him.
It was late November, late autumn and early winter, and it was already cold. The eyes are full of gloom, the dead leaves have fallen, and under the white sky, the plane trees on the street are bare branches. The old bluestone-paved street was blown spotless by the wind, and it was empty when you walked up. The most peculiar thing is that the bustling crowd of people in the streets has disappeared without a trace, and all the doors and windows on the side of the road have been closed, as if the whole town has been vacated and closed.
But there was no one on the street at this time. Rather, there are ten steps and one sentry, and along the street there are motionless statue-like men. On the street, a large flag with yellow characters on a blue background was erected, and the word "gold" was written on it.
These people are not idle people, at least they also have a foundation to build. But they were not monks, but soldiers of the Golden State Army. In Dongsheng Shenzhou, if a monk joins the army, he usually serves as an officer. Soldiers are generally mortals, and their foundation building and cultivation are forcibly improved with elixirs. Once you retire from the army, your cultivation will also fade with it.
The foundation building monk is not outstanding. However, if hundreds or thousands of foundation-building monks, coupled with the standard magic weapons ordered by the military department and refined by the major Xuanmen, under the unified command of the formation and attack without fear of life and death, even the mighty people may not be able to cope with it.
Dongsheng Shenzhou Houtu Dynasty has millions of people waiting for him, as well as magic weapons, magic weapons, mysterious weapons, and countless mysterious treasures. This power alone is not something that any Xuanmen can resist. What's more, countless Xuanmen powers have served in the imperial court, and dead soldiers loyal to the imperial court abound.
Since ancient times, the imperial court, Xuanmen, and Confucianism have all been one and interdependent. If there is a Xuanmen sect that wants to betray the imperial court, it will be declared an evil sect by the imperial court, and the Xuanmen sect in the world will condemn it.
The Houtu Dynasty occupies the middle earth of Dongsheng Shenzhou, which is the richest place in Shenzhou, and has eight states. Among them, Guizhou in the north, Tongzhou in the west, and Yizhou in the southwest have the most extensive land and the largest population. Genzhou in the northeast and lost in the far west are dangerous and desolate places. The remaining southeastern Jinzhou and the extreme southern Yuzhou were originally located in the southern barbarian land, but now under the rule of King Yun, it has quietly risen.
Each state has a guard station, and the army stationed in it is named after the state, and the army of Jinzhou is the Jinzhou army, and the army of Guyanzhou is the Guzhou army. This kind of local army is commanded by the commander of the guard. The commanders of the capital are not subject to the jurisdiction of the Taishou, but are only under the command of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and are subject to the deployment of the military department.
But King Yun is different, in addition to personally serving as the Taishou of Jinyu and Jinyu, he also serves as the commander of the Jinyu and Jinyu Prefectures. Whether it is the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies or the Ministry of War, they naturally dare not ask more about the internal affairs of the emperor's family, so they ignore the soldiers of the two states of King Yun, intentionally or unintentionally.
When King Yun was taken hostage to the Jade Palace by Xuan Tiewei with a holy decree, the Jinzhou army did not react that night, and there was no movement. But by the second day, when the news spread, the Golden State Health Center was already in chaos. You must know that these guards are all born and died with King Yun, and they know the truth that one is prosperous and the other is destroyed. As soon as he heard this, where did he still have the strength to ask the military department, and he directly led the troops to the Jade Palace.
Although they came, they were a step late after all. Even if they were on the Qingshi Street, they categorically did not dare to attack the mountain gate of the Jade Palace to stop King Yun's "experience". If the Cloud King dies in the end, they can only be scattered as birds and beasts.
But in the end, the Cloud King came out alive. How could they allow anything to go wrong with their masters? Immediately the entire street was put under martial law, and no one was allowed to approach it.
Gou Zhu and the others had an invitation from King Yun, and after they checked it, they stopped blocking it.
On the Qingyun Tower, the Cloud King has been waiting for a long time.
He was still wearing the white outer disciple robe that he had been given to him when he entered the Jade Palace, although it was already torn, he could barely sew it up. Compared to when I first met, he didn't have much change except for some red rashes. He had a cheerful smile on his face, no different from an ordinary outer disciple.
The round table was already full of food and drink. These foundation-building monks usually eat quite hard in the Jade Palace, but this time they are very excited. Especially Gou Xu, Song Ruhai and Mu Tou and others, they can't drink alcohol on the mountain at ordinary times. There is a prince's back here, and you can finally have an open drink.
When I drank too much, I talked a lot. When his eyes were dazzled, King Yun suddenly threw his chopsticks on the table and said, "We are destined to get together under the Jade Peak, and we are like-minded, why don't we worship brothers here?"
"Okay!" Gou Zhu agreed without even thinking about it. Since he mixed up on this bluestone street, the most important thing that the thief master taught him was to be a man and be righteous. He had many brothers, but most of them were rabble, and now they don't know where they were. The only reliable brother is the right eye, who died tragically at the hands of Chen Xuanfang, right in front of him. Now that he can harvest another brother, he just can't ask for it.
In his opinion, when all of them were pressed under the Dingfang inkstone, King Yun did not slip away, but forcibly broke Liu Hui's spell with a mortal body. Although it is difficult to say that this person is righteous and thin, at least he is not a gentleman who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he is worthy of worship.
Song Ruhai was secretly happy in his heart. He actually married King Yun as a brother, and when he returned to the Song family in the future, his own business would be much easier. In the future, as soon as his identity as a brother of the King of Yun, shines, which official dares to embarrass him? He will not let go of this kind of opportunity.
Wood is simple-minded, Song Ruhai and Gou Zhu are no problem, and he is naturally no problem.
King Yun pointed out the window: "This is Jade Peak, where Qin Zhenren flew up back then." You and I will burn incense and pray here, become brothers with different surnames, and ask the patriarch to be a witness, and from then on we will share blessings and difficulties!"
King Yun and Song Ruhai are both eighteen years old, but King Yun is two months older than Song Ruhai and is the eldest, and Song Ruhai is second. Gou Zhu was thirteen at the age of seventeen, and Mu was sixteen years old and fourth. King Yun pulled them to worship, but there were no remaining female cultivators. Du Li smiled, for her, these brothers' righteousness is a man's game, and it is none of her business. Huang Lu felt left out in the cold, and her face turned a little pale with anger.
After King Yun finished bowing to them, he glanced at the remaining female cultivators, smiled at them, and said, "Several senior sisters are all Tianzi and national colors. In case the king is blessed, he will all be included in the harem in the future. If you worship your righteous sister first, wouldn't it be unethical at that time?"
When Du Li heard this, her face was embarrassed, and her snow-white face was red all the way to the root of her ears. Huang Lu shouted: "Phew, Haozheng, you daydream!" After speaking, he turned his head and laughed with Murong Qing Nineteenth, ignoring him again.
Having said that, she was proud of the four words "Tianzi and National Beauty" for a long time in her heart, and even thought excitedly for a while, if she married into the palace and became a princess, wouldn't she also be peerless? But she couldn't help but secretly shook her head, thinking: It's a pity, it's a pity, King Yun's body is too weak.
