At the time of parting, King Yun gave each person a reward, which was contained in a jade box, each of which was different. King Yun personally handed over this gift to everyone, and told him that he must return to the Jade Palace before he could open it.

When it was Gou's turn, King Yun smiled mysteriously and said, "This box contains your favorite things." Gou Zhu's heart was shocked, and he thought, are you a roundworm in my stomach? I even know what I like the most? But since it was given by the second prince himself, I think the value will not be too low. This delicate jade box alone is probably worth a hundred taels of silver.

When it was Du Li's turn, the Cloud King wanted to speak and stopped. Although he had a good conversation with everyone at this banquet, he really didn't say a few words to Du Li. This woman has a quiet personality, she didn't talk much, and Huang Lu and several other women were chattering on the side, which was even more covered up. The reason why he deliberately gave each person a separate reward was so that he could talk to Doley alone. But when he came to this time, he forgot all the thousand words he had thought of, and he couldn't say a word. After struggling for a while, he handed over the jade box and said, "Pingshui meets, and three lives are lucky." It's a pity that I don't know when I'll see you again?"

Du Li replied with a thousand blessings, and said with a smile: "The little girl is in the Jade Palace, and the prince has time, just come to see her." ”

King Yun was overjoyed in his heart and said, "Okay!" as if he had made a mountain alliance and a sea oath.

Unfortunately, the feast was gone, and he had to leave for home after all. It is said that from the Jade Palace to the Golden Jade City, it is only three hundred miles. But as soon as he got into the car, he only felt indescribably lonely. A few fallen leaves flew in the air, and a long and winding road appeared ahead. After the accident in the Jade Palace, King Yun felt that the future was uncertain, and he frowned and sighed.

At this time, a young man sitting next to him, similar to his age, but with a square scarf on his head and a Confucian robe. Although it is not like the skeleton of King Yun, he has such a handsome posture, but he is also majestic and graceful. If Gou Zhu is still here, maybe he can recognize that this person is not a stranger, but the Confucian student who sold the Lei Xuanmu seed in the Xuan Market of Qingyang Town more than half a year ago, claiming to be under the disciple of Teacher Feng Chong of the Confucian Academy of Jinyucheng, named Hong Ruyi. Now that he has succeeded in his studies, he has become a teacher, and he has replaced the teacher and become a staff member of the Cloud King.

Seeing that King Yun was worried, he asked, "What is there to worry about Your Highness?"

King Yun said: "I regret that I shouldn't have taken over the military power of Jinzhou, this is really a hot potato." In the past, my father was just looking for something difficult to do to torment me, trying to make me retreat. Now it wasn't as good as it used to be, and he looked murderous. Now that I am difficult to ride a tiger, I am afraid that in the future, although the world is vast, there will be no place for it. ”

Hong Ru said with a smile: "Now that the situation is chaotic, even if Your Highness sits in the palace and does not ask about the affairs of the world, he can just sit back and wait to be killed, how can he stay out of the matter? In the future, wherever the horse's hooves are tread, it will be the king's land, so why worry about the place to stay?"

Hearing Hong say this, he also smiled, feeling boundless pride surging into his heart, and he was a lot of laughter. Although it was in the bleak autumn wind, he felt that the sound of the horse's hooves was joyful and bold.

Back in the outer courtyard of the Jade Palace, after Du Li opened the delicate wooden box, all she saw was a quaint ebony hairpin. There is no inspiration at all on this thing, it is just an ordinary mortal object.

It's just that this hairpin looks extremely old, the whole body is pitch black, and the surface is as warm as warm jade. This is not artificially polished, but naturally polished by the power of many years. This thing is simple throughout, without any carving, but engraved with a line of seals.

"If you have eternal life, you will be free with your son. You must not live forever, and grow old with your son. Reincarnation for eternity, this will not swerving. ”

Du Li's heart jumped, and her face turned red, but she immediately realized that she was thinking too much. This seal book is simple and the traces are extremely old, and it is by no means written by King Yun himself, but left by an ancestor who does not know how many years ago. He's a prince like him, I'm afraid he just picked up an extremely expensive antiquity anywhere, and he thought he had taste, so he sent her directly, as for the handwriting on it, I'm afraid I haven't even seen it. This prince doesn't know that these mundane things, no matter how high the value is, they don't mean anything to the monk, so why don't you give a magic weapon?

She was about to put it away and throw it into a box that she would never turn over, but suddenly she felt that this dark color might just match her own yellow hair that annoyed her. So she put it on her head, and when she looked in the mirror, she felt good.

On the other side, Gou Zhu finally returned to his room in Danyang Pavilion and opened the jade box, but it was empty, just a piece of paper full of patterns fell out. Gou Zhu was puzzled in his heart, picked it up and looked at it, and his heart suddenly became ecstatic.

It's actually a silver ticket of 10,000 taels of silver!

Gou Zhu sighed secretly: "He said that he knows what I like the most, and it is true...... "It's a pity that this prince is too stingy." If you had known that the prince could reward silver, you should have asked him for 100,000 ......

10,000 taels of silver can be exchanged for 5,000 pieces of Pure Yang Dan. Actually, it's quite a lot. Although Jinzhou is rich, the Confucian students under King Yun spend all their money on military affairs, and there are really not many people who can let this little prince reward casually.

As for what gifts everyone else received, he didn't know.

......

Gu Wentian's death did not make any waves, neither the Torture Hall nor the Yuntian City Gu Clan jumped out to dwell on anything. This is because when Lian Ping entered the root cave at that time, he used a photo jade slip to leave the scene of Gu Wentian sitting in the hall of the self-born tablet and dying, and his body was wiped out. This is ironclad evidence that Gu Wentian entered the root cave without permission and tried to steal "Aoki Changshenggong". As for how he died, whether it was because he triggered some mechanism left by Qin Zunyang, or whether he died when he received the Immortal Gong, no one cared.

Anyway, the things in the root cave are only subject to Lian Ping's photo jade slip. Instead of having any doubts, the Torture Hall and the Cloud Sky City Gu Clan took off cleanly. The torture hall has removed this person from the legal envoys, and the Yuntian City Gu clan has also announced that this person will be expelled from the family, and the two have nothing to do with each other from now on.

Lian Ping was promoted to the Purple Mansion in the root cave, which caused some sensation. It stands to reason that Lian Ping's entry into the root cave is also a violation of the door rules, but the wood is already in the boat, and in the face of this new purple mansion, the ghost Xuanyin can't come out, and naturally no one dares to question it at all. Now her position as a substitute is as solid as a rock, and there is even a faint tendency to take over the position of the head.

Of course, the Torture Hall is on fire about this. But the ghost Xuanyin did not go out for a day, and they did not dare to set off any storms for a day.

Of course, everyone didn't know that Lian Ling had returned and been promoted to Jindan. If you know, I'm afraid that this storm will not be limited to a corner of Golden State.

The promotion of Tang Su, Gou Zhu and others to inner disciples has been delayed for a long time. This is not a matter of cultivation, but the inner court only recruits inner disciples at the beginning of November every year. By the time the Battle of the Monument ended, the date for enrollment in the Inner Court had passed. These disciples who have advanced to the sixth level and have the money to pay 10,000 Pure Yang Pills can only wait another year before they can enter the inner courtyard and become inner disciples.

Because of this, he spent a year peacefully until the Inner Court recruited new disciples again.

In this year, Gou Zhu and the others basically practiced behind closed doors in the Danyang Pavilion. Only then did they realize how difficult it was to improve through cultivation without special cultivation. Even in a place as full of spiritual energy as Danyang Pavilion, their ascension was extremely slow. Although their respective cultivation has gradually stabilized, in this year, only Murong Qing has successfully improved by one level, reaching the level of the early stage of foundation building.

The exercises of Song Ruhai, Mu and Huang Lu were all taught by Lian Ping. Only one person was taught by Lian Ling. After all, it was Lian Ling who accepted him as a disciple first, and then Lian Ping accepted him, so Gou Zhu was still regarded as Lian Ling's disciple. So he suddenly became extremely high, and he became the same generation as Lian Ping, a generation higher than Song Ruhai and others. It's just that Danyang Pavilion doesn't pay as much attention to seniority as the Torture Hall, and they are still brothers.

But during the day, he didn't often see Lian Ling. The teaching of the exercises is often simple, and it is enough to exchange feelings every month and give you some advice. Complicated are the various spells. But it was not Lian Ling who taught him the technique every day, but the former Soul Sect elder Miao Zhong! This was because the exercise he practiced was the "Xuanming Nine Dead Yin Cultivation Technique", which was actually more suitable for practicing the Soul Technique than the Five Elements Escape Technique.

Seeing that his former old rival He Cangshi is now seriously teaching him soul art every day, Gou Zhu always feels quite funny, and he can't respect this teacher at all. He Cangshi's eyebrows and eyes are very small, and his skin is dark, and even he, a guy who was born as a thief, thinks that this person is extremely dirty. If you want to talk about eye-catching, he still looks forward to Lian Ling coming in person.

When the hour came every night, he obediently lay down on the bed and stretched out his arms. Lian Ling practiced in retreat every day, and only at this time would he come to check his pulse once. He only had this opportunity to appreciate the beauty of this master with confidence and boldness.

Sure enough, the door creaked open, and the familiar fragrance wafted in again. Only this time it seems a little different. Lian Ling was followed by a tall man. Gou Zhu was shocked and immediately sat up.

"Lie down and be calm. Lian Ling gently wiped his forehead with his hand, and he immediately felt a strong force pressing himself on the bed again. He hadn't even seen who that man was. Fortunately, the man did not move, and after entering, he went straight to a stool and sat down, and there was no sound.

Lian Ling finished taking the pulse and said with a smile: "I'm almost recovered, it's time to go out and break through." ”

Gou Zhu hurriedly sat up, and when he saw that the person who came in after Lian Ling, it turned out to be Mu Fei with an unruly face!

Mu Fei was originally rejected by the immortal tree and was unable to reveal his true body. But Lian Ling had already accepted him as a disciple of the Jade Palace, so he was no longer subject to this restriction. But it was originally taboo to appear in the human world as a dryad, so he usually appeared in the form of a wooden bow in a wooden hand, and rarely showed a human body. Outside of Danyang Pavilion, no one knew of his existence.

Although he is already a disciple of Jade Palace, he has never had a good face for Lian Ling, Lian Ping and others. He is loyal to only one person, and that is the heir of the Tree Emperor he follows, Wood. Gou Zhu couldn't imagine why Lian Ling would bring him.

"Go and break through?" Gou Zhu faintly felt that it was not good. Since Lian Ling used the word "Chuang", the place he was going to was probably not a good place.

Lian Ling sat on the edge of the bed and said calmly: "The torture hall covets the position of the palace master, and has repeatedly attacked me and Ping'er. If this bane is not removed, I am afraid that the Jade Palace will never have peace. ”

"You're finally going to clean up that old thief?" Hearing this, Gou Zhu became excited. He has been dissatisfied with the gang in the torture hall for a long time, especially the ghost Xuanyin.

Lian Ling shook his head slightly: "The ghosts and Xuanyin are colluded inside and outside, and there are many friends. Cleaning up this person is easy to cause civil strife, and it may also implicate Shangzong, so this matter is not urgent for the time being. I think Cloud Sky City is hundreds of miles away, occupying the stronghold. It is better to destroy the Gu clan of Yuntian City first, and start a new stove there, which is also to cut off a foreign aid path for Ghost Xuanyin. ”

Thieves are not afraid of big things, and the more chaotic they are, the more opportunities they can take advantage of. Besides, if you want to destroy such a big family as the Gu clan, it must be masters such as Lian Ling, Lian Ping, and Huo Yun who will make the shot. A pawn like him is at most following behind to kill people and set fires, stealing chickens and touching dogs. Hook the heart and steal the joy.

But when he thought about it, it was not a trivial matter to destroy a Yao clan. Even if there is King Yun behind him, I am afraid that the side of Houtu City will inevitably come to investigate, and I am afraid that the future trouble will not be small. I don't know what happened to Lian Ling. This usually elegant and quiet woman, why did she suddenly shout and kill her?

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate......" Gou Zhu hesitated to remind, "Kill people?"

Lian Ling smiled and said, "This matter is easy, my Jade Palace doesn't need to make a move." After speaking, she unfolded her palm, and there was one more thing in her hand, a dark green, crystal clear heart-shaped spar, "It's just that you have to run with Mu Fei to help me deliver this thing." ”

"What is this?"

"The Core of the Fourth Generation Tree Emperor Kino!"

As soon as Lian Ling said this, Gou Zhu noticed that a line of hatred flashed in the eyes of Mu Fei, who was sitting next to him.

Gou Zhu understood. As long as this thing is delivered to the hands of the Tree Clan, then they don't need to do it at all, and the Dryads who have revenge will naturally go to Yuntian City to destroy the Gu Clan, and the Jade Palace can completely stay out of the matter.

If it was before, if a large number of dryads wanted to sneak into Yuntian City, they would need to pass through Yuzhou and Jinzhou, which would still be a bit troublesome. But now that the Gu clan has offended King Yun along with the Jade Palace, then as long as King Yun makes the Jinzhou Army turn a blind eye, the Gu clan can only ask for more blessings!
