Cultivating Immortals From Prison

Chapter 22 Changes in Gongzhou
Qiuming Square, in the courtyard of Gu Shen's house.

The moonlight is like water, sprinkled over the courtyard.

Under the sycamore tree, Gu Shen and Lu Yuanming sat on both sides of the case.

While drinking, I ate Yuezhoulou's signature broiler chicken.

Lu Yuanming can't drink very well, and he doesn't have any martial arts skills. After a few bowls of wine, his face turned red.

Lu Yuanming said with a bit of a big tongue: "I always think that the officialdom is like a sea of ​​bitterness, so I don't want to be an official. I just want to go around the world, laugh at my enemies, and become a young hero and a hero in the novel."

"But what is a chivalrous man? A great chivalrous man serves the country and the people!"

"Brother Gu, what you said to me in the prison last time really made me wake up. Although I have the heart to help the world and save the people, but I am a white body, I can only have more than enough heart but not enough power."

"Join the officialdom and do things for the country and the people, so you can't call yourself a hero!"

Gu Shen nodded, and said: "If you still want to do good deeds, become an official, and enter the system, the higher your position, the more people you can save. Last year it snowed heavily, you built refugee shelters, and survived." More than two thousand. But if you are the prime minister of the dynasty, you can make all the refugees survive. If you want to do practical things, you don’t have to stick to the method. Of course, if you want to hide in a small building and become unified, no matter the spring or summer outside and Qiudong, then I don’t think it’s necessary to be an official.”

Lu Yuanming laughed, and said: "Brother Gu is indeed a great talent, and he can speak well when he opens his mouth."

Gu Shen also smiled lightly, he didn't use his inner energy to force out the alcohol in his body, but felt the feeling of being slightly drunk after drinking.

There was no curfew on Dayin, the two drank slowly, and said some outrageous things, nothing more than chaos in the world, and the common people were in dire straits.

Picking up the wine bowl, Lu Yuanming killed it in one gulp. He held the wine bowl in one hand and propped up the desk in the other, and said to Gu Shen: "Brother Gu, I have already written down those four sentences of your doctrine, and they are hanging in the air. On the wall of my study, I want to create peace for all generations! I want to be a high official! I want to save the people of Kyushu who are living in dire straits!"

Snapped!
Just when Gu Shen was deeply admiring Lu Yuanming's bold words, the wine bowl in Lu Yuanming's hand slipped and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

boom!
Then, Lu Yuanming's head hit the chopping board.

"Old Lu?" Gu Shen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Dayin Dynasty's wine was not as strong as in his previous life, and the strength was much lower. Even if he didn't use internal strength to stimulate him, he wasn't too drunk, but Lu Yuanming had already drunk it.

Gu Shen was about to pick up Lu Yuanming and go back to his room to rest, but Lu Yuanming struggled to get up and came to the well.

Gu Shen was worried that he would fall into the well, so he stepped forward to help him, Lu Yuanming scooped up a handful of cold water from the well, washed his face, and he became more energetic.

"Brother Gu, those four doctrinal mantras didn't come from other countries, but you made them?" Lu Yuanming, who was more energetic, looked at Gu Shen and asked this question.

Gu Shen realized that he had underestimated the influence of Hengqu's four sentences on scholars, Xia Yuanlu was like this, and so was Lu Yuanming.

Gu Shen shook his head in denial, and explained again that he didn't do it himself.

Not knowing whether Lu Yuanming believed it or not, he stood up, cupped his hands towards Gu Shen, and said, "Brother Gu, it's late at night, so I'm leaving."

"It's too late today, and you drank so much again, why don't you stay with me for one night."

"Tomorrow I have to review my homework, and strive to win the exam this year and become an official as soon as possible."

Gu Shen persuaded him to stay, Lu Yuan had to study his homework tomorrow, and he didn't want to stay overnight, so he left.

Watching Lu Yuanming go away, Gu Shen sighed a little.

The words "becoming an official as soon as possible" came from Lu Yuanming's mouth, and there was a sense of desolation.

Everyone in the world wants to be an official, but Gu Shen knows that Lu Yuanming's longing is for happy life, not officialdom.

"It's just to realize the ideal in my heart."

Gu Shen thought about it, but still followed Lu Yuanming far away, and followed him until he returned to Lu's mansion, before turning back.

In the next few days, Gu Shen could feel the more turbulent internal energy in his body.

The distance from becoming a first-class master in the rivers and lakes is only a layer of window paper.

It is a pity for Gu Shen not to be able to absorb the black substance these days, but he has always done things safely, and he will not lose the big because of small things.

On this day, after patrolling around the cell, Gu Shen came to the table of the Eight Immortals.

Sitting here were a few Xiaoqis of the Imperial City Department, talking, seeing Gu Shen, and beckoning Gu Shen to come and sit down.

Somehow, we talked about martial arts.

Xu Yan sighed heavily, and said: "I realized my inner energy four years ago and stepped into the ninth rank. I was really high-spirited at that time. But now that four years have passed, I feel that there is still a long way to go before breaking through to the eighth rank. There is no third rank." It is estimated that I will not be able to cross this hurdle in five years, and it is really too difficult to go all the way in martial arts."

Li Ga smiled wryly: "Brother Xu is still expected to break through to the eighth rank in a few years, and I have also stepped into the ninth rank for a few years, but I feel that the distance from breaking through to the eighth rank is still far away, maybe there is no hope in this life."

Another Xiaoqi surnamed Pan also sighed: "I still remember more than ten years ago, when I first learned martial arts, I still dreamed that one day I would become a master and rule the world. Now that I think about it, it's really a joke. Don't talk about innate skills." It’s a grand master, it’s just a dream to step into the third rank, and the biggest luxury is to practice hard for decades, maybe you can achieve the seventh rank.”

Xu Yan laughed and said, "Who isn't? Wasn't everyone like this in the beginning?"

As he said that, Xu Yan pointed at Gu Shen beside him, and said, "A few days ago, when Xiao Gu just broke through to the ninth rank, his self-confidence was very inflated, and he also said that he wanted to become a congenital master, hahaha."

Everyone laughed together.

This is a kind of joke among acquaintances, it is a mockery of Gu Shen, and they are also self-deprecating, without malice, it is just a feeling that some people are like eagles hovering high in the sky, but they have mediocre talents and can only do nothing but live in the branches of trees. A sparrow moving about.

Gu Shen also smiled, and thought in his heart: "If all of you here are tied together, I can also slap him to death."

Gu Shen is now at the pinnacle of the fourth rank, while the small flags on the Eight Immortals table are all ninth rank, the gap is like clouds and mud.

Gu Shen's slap to death is not a lie, if he can use his internal energy, he can even turn into a Buddhist lion's roar, and he can kill all these colleagues without using his hands, just moving his mouth.

Of course, Gu Shen just thought about it in his heart, the relationship between his colleagues has always been good, how could he bear to do it?Unless absolutely necessary.

Gu Shen had a smile on his face, he looked like a good old man, which made Xu Yan, Li Ga, and Zhang Shunli standing next to him feel more friendly.

Then, everyone slowly chatted about other things, Gu Shen usually didn't interrupt, just listened to understand the outside world.

From the mouth of the little flag surnamed Pan, Gu Shen knew that there was a military riot in Gongzhou, which surprised Gu Shen.

Gongzhou is no different than other places, it is a place to defend the capital, and it is more than 100 miles away from the capital.

Changes in Gongzhou will inevitably cause turmoil in the capital.
