Cultivating Immortals From Prison

Chapter 438

dong dong dong.

In the morning, there was a drizzle in the sky, and the whole capital felt like it was raining south of the Yangtze River.

In Qiuming Square, there was a knock on the gate of the Gu family's courtyard.

Zheng Lin walked over to open the door, and saw a woman in Tsing Yi holding an oil-paper umbrella outside the courtyard door.

The woman in Tsing Yi saluted and said with a smile: "Ma'am, I am the maidservant of the Eldest Princess of the Lu Mansion. The Eldest Princess is preparing a dinner at the Lu Manor today. She wants to invite Mr. Gu, Madam and Miss to the banquet."

Zheng Lin was slightly startled. She didn't expect that Zhao Jianjia would actually send out an invitation. After all, it was only Gu Shen and Lu Yuanming who had a deep friendship in the past. Zhao Jianjia and Gu Shen rarely had any relationship. Now that Lu Yuanming has passed away, the relationship between the Gu family and the Lu family The friendship between them was naturally not that deep, and why did Zhao Jianjia, a widow, invite Gu Shen there?
But after thinking about it, Zheng Lin also guessed the reason. Now that Lu Yuanming is gone, the Lu family has lost its backbone and pillar. It is a time when people are panicking, and Gu Shen, who is currently the thickest thigh in Yin country, who wouldn't want to hug?I'm afraid Zhao Jianjia has such a plan.

Zheng Lin said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask Gu Shen."

After Zheng Lin finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the main room, asking Gu Shen for his opinion.

Gu Shen thought for a moment, but did not agree. Now that Lu Yuanming was no longer with him, and Zhao Jianjia was a widow at home, it was inconvenient for him to go there often. Moreover, he and Zhao Jianjia did not have a deep friendship to begin with, but because of Lu Yuanming, Gu Shen Shen is willing to take care of Zhao Jianjia and the child in his belly, but he will never put too much energy into it. Neither Zhao Jianjia nor anyone else, except his family, can improve his own cultivation. Importantly, unprecedented changes are coming in the near future. Gu Shen must improve his strength as quickly as possible in order to be able to deal with the underworld that will eventually come back.

After getting the result from Gu Shen, Gu Shen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and reject her."

"Ah."

Gu Shen nodded.

Before leaving Yin Kingdom, Gu Shen would definitely go to the Lu Mansion to tell everyone that even if Lu Yuanming was dead, the Lu Mansion would not tolerate bullying by outsiders, but not now. He did not want to go too often.

Gu Shen comprehended the power of rules for a while, gained a little bit, slowly received his skills, got off the bed, walked out of the room, there was a plate of delicate pastries on the Eight Immortals table in the main room, Gu Shen walked over and twisted a piece of pastry. Into the mouth, it feels as if the most beautiful thing is melting in the mouth.

"Well, it's delicious."

Gu Shen nodded in admiration, and walked out of the main room while chewing slowly.

Zheng Lin had already declined the maid from Lu's mansion who came to pass the message, and went to Song Yinzhang in the North Courtyard to talk, and the two had a lot to talk about.

Gu Shen stood under the plane tree, the rain fell on him, but it couldn't wet his hair and clothes, and finally rolled down slowly.

Looking up at the big tree in front of me, many memories flashed in my mind. From the first time I traveled to this world, those colleagues I met in the imperial prison, Zhang Chenggong, Xu Nuo, Li Ga, Zhang Shunli, and later Lu Yuanming, Song everyone
"A small sapling back then has now grown into a towering tree."

Gu Shen couldn't help but sigh for a moment.

He thought of another thing. He saw Zhang Shunli in the palace square before, and he used his power to send Zhang Shunli back to Qinrenfang, and told him that if he wanted to, he would come to Qiumingfang afterwards.
Although Gu Shen didn't say it clearly, Zhang Shunli is also a person with some brains, and he can definitely figure out the meaning of his words. If he is willing to come, it will be regarded as a chance for him, but that chance is not for Zhang Shunli. Good or bad, after all, not everyone is like me, able to absorb yin and yang qi, and practice along the way, although you can gain a lot, it is also full of difficulties, hardships, and tortures.

"It's fate to come, and it's fate not to come."

When Gu Shen first came to this world, he was taken care of by Zhang Chenggong. Later, Zhang Chenggong died unfortunately, so Gu Shen decided to help Zhang Shunli when he had the opportunity to repay Zhang Chenggong's kindness.

The fact is also that Gu Shen has already made two shots to save Zhang Shunli's life.

But when it comes to major events in life, Gu Shen will not impose his own wishes on Zhang Shunli, it is up to him whether he is willing to take this path.

Qinrenfang, Zhang family.

The dinner table.

Zhang Shunli and his wife Sun Shuang are eating.

Zhang Shunli buried his head in grilling the rice and didn't pick up the food, obviously he wasn't thinking about eating.

Sun Shuang looked at Zhang Shunli, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother Li."

Zhang Shunli didn't seem to hear.

Sun Shuang called again, "Brother Li?"

Only then did Zhang Shunli react, looked at his wife in front of him, and said, "Shuang'er, what's wrong?"

Sun Shuang sighed lightly, and said, "Are you still thinking about what Brother Gu told you?"

Zhang Shunli nodded.

Since being sent home by Brother Gu last time with his magical powers, Zhang Shunli has repeatedly thought about what Brother Gu said to him. He was a little confused at first, but his mind was bright. After pondering for a while, he realized what Brother Gu said. meaning.

It is undeniable that his heart was moved. Who wouldn't be envious when he thought of those lofty immortals?
Compared with those big men, how are they different from ants?

Life and death are all in the hands of others.

Zhang Shunli also yearns for it, and also wants to be like the immortal, at least able to protect his family, not like that day when the immortal wanted to take away his wife and make him a slave, but he couldn't do anything.

But when he told his wife about it, she felt it was wrong.

Is it okay to be a fairy?
It would be good to be an immortal, but why did those two immortals die that day?Died at the hands of Brother Gu?Like two straws.

It would be good to be an immortal, but how would you explain the thousands of immortals whose corpses lay across the palace square?
The reason why mortals yearn for the life of immortals is because they only see the good side of immortals, but they don't see the opposite side.Among immortals, they may be more cruel than mortals, and life and death are uncertain.

At least she and her husband live in this capital. Unless they are extremely unlucky, they can still live a stable life. But what about becoming an immortal?
What Sun Shuang saw was that immortals are not carefree, they will die, and the death is more sudden and incomprehensible than ordinary people.

"Husband, what I said the day before yesterday was just a worry in my heart. I just want to go on with you in peace and stability. I don't want glory and wealth, and I don't want to be immortal and enjoy happiness. I just want to live in such a simple way."

Sun Shuang looked at Zhang Shunli and said, "But if you are unwilling, I will support you, and I also believe in Brother Gu, he will not deceive or hurt us."

Zhang Shunli nodded, smiled lightly, and said, "Shuang'er, I see, um, let me think about it for a few more days. I figured it out, no matter whether I want to become a fairy like Brother Gu or not, I will Go to Qiumingfang, Brother Gu has saved our lives, no matter what, we must thank you face to face."

Sun Shuang nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then let's go and thank Brother Gu face to face."

Yongxingfang, Lu Mansion.

As Zhao Jianjia was canonized as the eldest princess by the emperor, the only honor of Yinguo's 200-year-old dynasty fell to the Lu Mansion, which made the Lu Mansion prosperous again, and came out of the deserted decline after Lu Yuanming's death.

Tao Li Ju, this is the largest courtyard in the Lu Mansion, and it is also the courtyard with the best location. Lu Yuanming and Zhao Jianjia lived here at the beginning, but now, Zhao Jianjia is the only one left.

in the house.

After Zhao Jianjia listened to the maid's report, her arms were trembling slightly,

"He doesn't want to come?"

Zhao Jianjia took a deep breath, even though her heart was panicked, but it didn't show on her face, she slowly put the teacup in her hand back on the table, and asked the maid.

The blue-clothed maid hesitated for a moment, and said: "Mr. Gu didn't show up. It was the lady who likes to wear blue clothes who made a report and came back to say that Mr. Gu has something to do and can't come to the dinner."

Zhao Jianjia nodded, glanced at the maid in front of her, waved lightly, and said, "Go down." The maid in Tsing Yi nodded, turned and left.

"and many more."

When the maid in Tsing Yi was about to walk out of the room, she heard the voice of the Eldest Princess behind her, she stopped, turned around, faced Zhao Jianjia, bowed, and waited for instructions.

Zhao Jianjia said lightly: "Try not to spread this matter to the outside world."

The maid in Tsing Yi quickly nodded and said: "Yes, Eldest Princess, I understand."

Only then did Zhao Jianjia wave his hand and let the maid leave.

In the room, only Zhao Jianjia was left, her face was slightly pale, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

After all, she is just a woman and cannot be exposed to the outside world. Without Lu Yuanming, the Lu family is destined to decline and leave the center of imperial power.

But because of the appearance of Gu Shen, the Lu family was full of vitality again. She was canonized as the eldest princess, which has almost stood at the highest point of the nobles of the Yin country, and belongs to the great nobles second only to the emperor. , she doesn't need to bow her head.

Even her father began to pay attention to her again. In just a few days, he sent people twice to ask if he could have a relationship with Gu Shen.

The Lu family, her father, herself and the child in her womb all put a lot of pressure on her, so she decided to invite Gu Shen to a banquet, not only to deepen the relationship with Gu Shen, but also to let others know.

But Gu Shen rejected her invitation, which made Zhao Jianjia a little worried about gains and losses.

"Ugh."

She couldn't help but sigh.

If she had known that today would happen, when Yuan Ming was still there, she should have followed Yuan Ming and established a good relationship with Gu Shen.

But the world is impermanent, who would have thought that there would be today.

At this time, footsteps came from outside the house, and a servant girl came in, bowed and blessed, and said respectfully: "Princess, the palace is here."

Zhao Jianjia frowned slightly when she heard the words, and said, "Send the envoy back, just say that I'm tired, want to rest, and don't want to see outsiders."

"Yes."

The servant girl took the order, turned around and left, and sent away the people sent by Zhao Wangfu.

Zhao Jianjia leaned on the chair and rubbed her temples lightly.

She knew what the purpose of her father's sending people was because of Gu Shen.

If Gu Shen agreed to her invitation this time, Zhao Jianjia would be more than happy to receive the envoy and tell his father that although she and King Zhao are father and daughter, in the royal family, family affection will never outweigh interests, and human relationships are cold and warm. Today's Zhao Jianjia It's very clear.

This time Gu Shen did not agree to the banquet, Zhao Jianjia was just upset, how could he still be willing to meet the envoys from Prince Zhao's mansion, if he told his father about this, it is estimated that his weight on the father's side and the emperor's side would be greatly reduced.

Qiumingfang, the Gu family.

Now there is only Gu Shen in the family.

Zheng Lin took everyone Song to go shopping. Although everyone Song had also stayed in the capital for a while, their familiarity with the capital was still inferior to that of Zheng Lin who had lived here for many years.

Gu Xiao took Fan'er out, intending to introduce her to her two good friends——Zhao Xiaotang and Zhang Xiaowei.

"I'm leaving in a few days, and I wanted to spend time with them, but I didn't expect to leave me behind in the end."

Gu Shen shook his head helplessly, stood under the plane tree for a while, then turned and went back to his room to practice.

Since he is not with his family, he still has to hurry up and practice.

Going back to the room, taking off his shoes and socks, sitting cross-legged on the bed, Gu Shen slowly closed his eyes.

"By using the aftertaste of inspiration from previous breakthroughs, my comprehension of the rules is not slow.

"Now I finally have some clues, I feel that the power of the rules has been comprehended to [-]%, and it should be very fast.

"It's a pity that after coming out of the holy city, senior red vertical eyes fell into a deep sleep again, otherwise we could communicate with it more.

"Well, I haven't been to the ruins of Caomiao Village for a long time. Before I leave, I have to go and see Senior Holy Spear."

After pondering for a while, Gu Shen began to comprehend the power of rules.

"Rules operate between heaven and earth, at least on the mainland of China.

"The power of rules is irreversible and unbreakable, but it can be mastered slowly.

"Only those who master the rules can escape the control of the rules.

"If you master the power of the rules to the stage of [-]% perfection, you will be a world-class powerhouse.

"If you rely solely on your own comprehension to master the power of the rules, it will be too difficult. Only when you keep up with the realm, grasp the aura when you break through the realm, and master the power of the rules, can you be more relaxed."

The Eastern Wasteland, the Southern Territory, the territory of the Amaterasu Holy Land, and the largest city, Amaterasu City.

The Tuoba family occupies a vast area, comparable to a small sect.

In fact, this kind of cultivating family is stronger than most sects. If the Tuoba family wants to break away from the Amaterasu Holy Land and establish their own sect, they will be able to join the ranks of the top sects immediately.

In the center, there is a towering mountain thousands of feet high. The top of the mountain was flattened by monks with great magic power, and it became a flat stone platform.

In the past, on this spacious stone platform, there would always be some outstanding disciples of the family who practiced, and occasionally they would receive guidance from the ancestors.

But in the past few days, the ancestor was furious for some reason and didn't call anyone anymore. Now the huge stone platform seems a bit deserted.

call out!
At this time, a ray of light flew from the sky and landed on the stone platform.

The rays of the sun dissipated, revealing that one of the middle-aged men in gray robes was none other than Tiewei Sixteen.

Tiefei Shiliu's face was solemn, and he strode into the black hall in front of the stone platform without stopping.
