I became a fox girl and was captured by the True Dragon Saint

There was a knocking sound outside the door, two light and three heavy sounds, which was obviously a deliberate rhythm.

Hearing this, Gu Yuetian smiled slightly and said, "This is the room. Please come in."

The two hostesses looked towards the door curiously.

But the door did not open.

A dark shadow quietly slid under the door.

A light breeze blew by, and the hostess blinked her eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, the handsome middle-aged man in black had appeared in front of Gu Yuetian's desk and sat down.

"There are so many people here, why do you choose to meet here?" Bijiu was obviously dissatisfied.

"If you stay in a high position for too long, you will inevitably feel lonely." Gu Yuetian didn't care at all, "Don't worry, no one else will know about our meeting."

Bijiu glanced at the two hostesses and said, "I only believe in dead people."

"Don't worry, they already are."

Gu Yuetian raised his eyes and smiled, shaking the wine in the glass.

I saw that at some point, fine powder had already precipitated at the bottom of the wine glass.

"Plop-plop-"

The two demon girls who were serving wine went limp and fell to the ground at the same time, without a breath left.

Seeing the two people being poisoned to death, Bijiu and Gu Yuetian seemed as if nothing had happened. They didn't care at all and talked even more happily.

"The national teacher said that he also wanted to thank Mr. Gu Yuetian for his lurking and help in Dongsheng Shenzhou." Bijiu bowed.

"It should be so," Gu Yuetian offered a glass of wine in return, "Master Imperial Master has been kind to me, bestowing upon me the blessing and skill to help me change my fate. What I have done is only my due return."

"I would like to ask Mr. Gu Yuetian to continue to help monitor the movements of Dongsheng Shenzhou and the stars," Bijiu said, "A group of envoys from other states will come to meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty recently. They have a special mission. I would like to ask Mr. Gu Yuetian to use his position to help them complete their mission as much as possible."

"What mission?"

"It's just some small formation arrangements." Bijiu replied with a smile.

"The situation is tense now. People from other states came to Dongsheng Shenzhou to set up a formation. I'm afraid it won't be a small formation." Gu Yuetian frowned. "Although I can help, I still ask the State Master to show mercy and not involve my Jiantian Sect. Don't be so cruel as to blow up the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou..."

"How could that be!" Bijiu laughed, "Don't worry, the Imperial Master knows his limits. If we piss those two off, no one will have a good ending. We won't be so impulsive."

"What's that?"

"It's just about the preparations for the final trial."

"Trial?" Gu Yuetian was puzzled. "What trial?"

"Mr. Gu Yuetian, don't you know the legend that has been passed down in Shenzhou for tens of thousands of years?" Bijiu exclaimed in amazement, "Shenzhou has several major trials, among which the Dijiang Trial and the Bijiu Trial are both supreme trials."

Gu Yuetian suddenly remembered: "And after the Dijiang Trial and the Bijiu Trial, there is a third trial that has never been opened - the final trial."

"It may not be appropriate to call it the final trial. After all, the first two were named after me and Dijiang," Bijiu was surprisingly obsessive about this matter. He said, "I prefer to call it the National Master Trial."

"The trial location is in Dongsheng Shenzhou?" Even Gu Yuetian couldn't help but ask excitedly.

"More than that," Bijiu shook his head, "It's just that there's still Dongsheng Shenzhou that hasn't been arranged yet. After all, with those two guys here before, there was no chance."

Were those two guys there before?

Could it be that...

After a brief speculation, Gu Yuetian asked tentatively, "Could it be that the Divine Lord and the Holy Ancestor have temporarily left Shenzhou?"

Bijiu smiled slightly: "Jiang Ke'er triggered the Jiuzhou Ding barrier and was trapped on an isolated island. Qiao Xiaoxian was cursed by blood, but the curse could not be relieved because Jiang Ke'er was not here. So Qiao Xiaoxian had to return to the star field to hibernate herself, so as not to go crazy and harm the people around her."

"I see." Gu Yuetian nodded, "The Imperial Master is a divine fortune teller!"

"Although the Imperial Master has a brilliant plan, he still needs the help of Mr. Gu Yuetian for the plan to proceed smoothly."

"Please rest assured, I will do my best to support you." Gu Yuetian agreed calmly.

"Then thank you very much. There is a man named Xu Chen in the delegation. Mr. Gu Yuetian can contact him when the time comes."

"understand!"

**********

This is the third key fragment Jiang Keer obtained.

Fortunately, the locations marked on the other two treasure maps are simple and straightforward, not as dangerous as the lava and armadillos under the cave.

Jiang Ke'er, Taibai Daxia and others simply searched according to the location indicated on the treasure map, and soon found the key fragment they wanted in the red circle.

So now, Daobei only has the last key fragment left to obtain.

The one in the mining area.

"How is the mining progress of the magic crystal mine?" Li Taibai asked the mining team leader Master Liu. This was his third time asking today.

"Everything is going well, but the reserves of this magic crystal ore are huge, and it will take some time to mine it all," Master Liu responded, and he was also a little puzzled, "Why is Master Taibai so anxious? The more magic crystal ore, the better, but why do you seem to want less?"

Li Taibai smiled helplessly: "No way."

"Are you questioning my professional level?" Master Liu was a little displeased.

"No, no, no, please take your time picking them. I'm just curious." Li Bai hurriedly explained.

But after leaving the mining area, he sighed.

Holding the wine gourd, he looked at the bright moon in the sky that he had sung praises to countless times, but there was no poetry in his heart at this moment.

The carefreeness of singing and drinking has slowly disappeared with the passage of time.

With each year of growth, comes an increasingly deep sense of powerlessness.

He once thought that he was the best swordsman in the world, after the Holy Ancestor, his master and his mistress.

Maybe, but so what.

The more he came into contact with and the more he knew, the more he began to feel his own insignificance.

The enemies that the Master and the Holy Ancestor faced back then were several times stronger than the strongest men he had ever seen.

He kept saying that he would draw his sword for the Tang Dynasty, but in front of those truly powerful enemies, he was not even qualified to draw his sword.

During the search for the Changle Ding, he felt the power of that ancient force and his own helplessness.

——It would be nice if Master were here.

Occasionally he would have such childish thoughts.

At least, the master will tell him how to face those unbeatable opponents.

(Updated yesterday on 4/4.)

124. Qinglian's Sorrow

That night, the feeling of helplessness and frustration mixed with the longing for the master dissolved in the wine and poured onto the depression in the heart of Hero Taibai.

The mineral vein was being mined intensively, and no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't speed up the process.

During this time of waiting when he had nothing to do, he could only use strong liquor to numb his nerves as much as possible, to cheer himself up and recharge himself to regain the motivation and confidence to protect the teachers and students of Datang.

He noticed the little girl named Qingyi not far away, who was leaning under a tree and watching him while he was drinking.

Different from other naive children, she didn't seem to have any beautiful fantasies about the world in her mind. Instead, she looked deep and thoughtful, as if she had experienced a lot of hardships.

She looked at the moon.

That lonely shadow seemed to see through his boredom.

"What are you doing here so late at night?" The Great Knight Taibai said bluntly, "Little brat, don't try to act like an adult and act profound all day long. You'll age quickly."

"You are." Jiang Ke'er rolled her eyes. In her eyes, Li Taibai was also a little brat.

"Hey!" Taibai laughed, remembering the little girl's orphan background, he couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder and asked curiously, "What are you worried about?"

"There's nothing to worry about. Now that the atmosphere is like this, I'll cooperate with you and go with the flow." Jiang Ke'er said calmly.

Hero Taibai choked.

Hearing this, he suddenly became excited and asked with concern: "You have been trying to survive alone these years. You must have suffered a lot. You don't have to be so stubborn all the time. If you have any troubles, you can tell your uncle."

"It's OK," Jiang Ke'er smiled brightly, "There is no one in this world who is not suffering. Whether it is suffering or not is up to you to decide."

"Don't you miss your family?"

This question stumped Jiang Keer.

After a moment, she nodded, shook her head, and said, “I miss them. If I have a chance, I want to go back to them and be that child who hasn’t grown up yet, and tell them about my experiences over the years… They must miss me, but they will understand me, and they will be proud of everything I have done.

But I know it’s just wishful thinking and I’ve already accepted reality.”

Hero Taibai discovered that he was a person who was easily moved.

Jiang Qingyi is an orphan whose parents have both passed away. The world has treated her unfairly, but it is rare that she can still maintain such an optimistic and rational state of mind.

For a moment, he felt warm in his heart because of this little girl.

"Damn God, he always makes good people suffer." He spat and said with overflowing sympathy.

"You're so old, why are you still expressing your childish feelings like a middle school boy?" Jiang Ke'er gave him a disdainful look.

The Great Knight Taibai felt that his mind was insulted: "You little idiot, why are you talking so old-fashioned?"

"Be more realistic, hero," Jiang Ke'er said with a disdainful smile, "If you really want to express your sympathy, come up with something tangible, ok?"

The old man Taibai blushed and asked breathlessly, "What do you want?"

"Money, treasures, or if that doesn't work, two admissions slots to the Qinglian Sword Sect would be good too." Jiang Ke'er spoke seriously, without any politeness.

"You are too realistic," said Taibai, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Besides, it's not that easy to get a place in the Qinglian Sword Sect. I can't just accept people randomly and ruin the reputation of the Qinglian Sword Sect!"

"Why, does your Qinglian Sword Sect have any criteria for accepting people?" Jiang Ke'er asked curiously. In fact, she always thought that the Qinglian Sword Sect accepted people completely at random, and she accepted people at random in the beginning.

"Of course there are standards!" Great Hero Taibai answered in a resounding voice, "Disciples of my Qinglian Sword Sect must be resolute, not be tempted by external evil, and have compassion for the world. After mastering the sword skills, you must take it as your responsibility to protect Shenzhou and must not lose the ideas passed down by our ancestors!"

When did the Qinglian Sword Sect come up with such rigid rules?

Jiang Keer was a little unhappy.

"There are so many troubles," Jiang Ke'er muttered in dissatisfaction, "Your ancestors are not as strict as you in recruiting people. Who stipulated that the Qinglian Sword Sect must protect Shenzhou? Aren't you tired?"

"These are just the basics," said Taibai, who had no idea how high the threshold was for recruiting people. "As the number one holy land in the world, we must be strict in recruiting people, otherwise our reputation will be ruined in a few generations. If Xiaoxiao learns about the swordsmanship of our founder, he will be so angry that he will open his coffin."

"Hey, hey! Who said your ancestor is dead?" Jiang Ke'er was very angry.

"Why did he show up if he's not dead? Why didn't he restore my master's soul?" The swordsman in white asked back, sneering, "She is Hou Tu. With her ability, it shouldn't be difficult to restore my master's soul. But over the years, he has neither returned to the mountain gate to take a look, nor mentioned my master..."

At this point, Taibai realized that he was indeed drunk. The resentment in his heart was inexplicable. He sighed and quickly changed his words: "Forget it, I know that as Hou Tu, she must have countless things to do. Besides, Shenzhou owes her too much, and she shouldn't ask for too much. She should also have some time to live her own life. It's just..."

He just suddenly missed his master.

He hadn't seen Jiang Ke'er for all these years, which made him start to doubt the status of the Qinglian Sword Sect in Jiang Ke'er's heart.

It was as if she didn't care about the sect at all. She hadn't shown up since her wedding seven years ago.

Although later, the demons appeared in Shenzhou and caused chaos, and the Tang Dynasty was besieged by the three continents in the ancient realm of learning, she has never expressed her opinion.

In fact, as long as she could come forward and prove her existence, the three continents would not dare to be so arrogant, and the Tang Dynasty would have suffered fewer casualties.

"I took it for granted," Taibai the Great Swordsman shook his sleeves and stood up, saying somewhat helplessly, "Shengzu is not a machine to save the world. She also has her own life. Shenzhou cannot always rely on her... Datang, this disappointing child, has been blessed by her since she was a cradle. Now it is time for her to grow up."

"..." Jiang Ke'er was speechless for a moment.

"Let's go, let's go back." Taibai stood up, put away the wine pot and porcelain cup on the table, and walked towards the camp first.

Jiang Ke'er followed him silently and began to wonder if she had indeed been a little slack over the years.

Fortunately, she quickly came up with a reasonable answer - no.

She didn't slack off, it's just that her strength was not enough to solve those real problems.

The time had not yet come when she had to show up.

So she laughed and followed the footsteps of Hero Taibai and trotted towards the camp.

"Boom-"

When she was still quite a distance away, she suddenly heard an ominous muffled sound coming from the camp.

The sound sounded like something heavy hitting something.
