They are really not NPCs, please stop it, lady.

After all, his wife is a true immortal, and Gu Nian can be said to be quite knowledgeable about this.

And this time.

Ji Qiyun suddenly thought of something, and her expression became a little strange, as if she wanted to laugh but was too embarrassed to laugh out loud.

"Inside Mr. Gu's temple, there are many people who go to burn incense and kneel down to pray, some praying for wealth and fortune, and some even... praying for children..."

Gu Nian: ???

puff…

Unable to hold back, he spit out the tea he had just drunk. Gu Nian looked at Ji Qiyun in disbelief, and felt sick all over.

I understand that you come to me for wealth and luck. Although I cannot give it to you, this is after all a simple emotional expectation of yours.

but!

What's the point of you asking for a child?

So it really is true that every god can pray for a child! ?

Just outrageous!

Looking at Gu Nian's expression, Ji Qiyun finally couldn't help laughing.

"Actually, this isn't the most outrageous thing..."

Seeing that Gu Nian's expression was becoming more and more depressed, Ji Qiyun forced herself to calm down and then continued,

Volume 240: Chapter 290 Chapter The Darkest Secret, a Century-Long Scheme

"Mr. Gu used two different images. Naturally, your statue also has two different appearances."

"Although we have our will now and everyone knows it's Mr. Gu, it's hard to say what will happen in the future."

With Gu Nian's talent and the help around him, Gu Nian's future achievements will definitely not be low. Maybe he will eventually become a true immortal like Su Qingge and live forever.

In other words, perhaps hundreds or thousands of years from now, after the generations of people in Daqian who saw Gu Nian take action have all died, when Gu Nian returns to Daqian, it is very likely that his two images will have become two independent entities...

What is this all about!

Gu Nian sighed, feeling that he couldn't stay in Daqian for even a moment longer!

But his wife had no intention of leaving and said that she had something important to do.

This made Gu Nian very helpless.

But in Ji Qiyun's opinion, Gu Nian deserves such treatment.

With his own strength and kindness, he saved an entire dynasty. If Gu Nian doesn't deserve to be treated like this, then no one else deserves it.

What's more, it seems that what those people did was right.

To a certain extent, it is not an exaggeration to call someone like Gu Nian, who possesses powers beyond common sense, a god.

Apart from not being able to respond to prayers, what Gu Nian can do is pretty much what ordinary people imagine.

In short, such care deserves to be treated like this.

"Okay, Mr. Gu, don't think too much about it. This is also a thank you from everyone, isn't it?"

Coming directly behind Gu Nian, Ji Qiyun placed her jade hands on Gu Nian's shoulders and massaged them gently.

"However, if Mr. Gu still wants to move around in Daqian, it would be best to cover up his appearance."

"Otherwise, everyone would immediately surround Mr. Gu and pray to him as if he were a true immortal."

"No, I won't come again..."

Gu Nian leaned back in his chair and spoke weakly.

Although this is a good thing, it is an honor that many people want but cannot obtain.

But for some reason, Gu Nian still felt like he was socially dead.

I would rather never come here again than face such a scene!

After all, there is a true immortal in his family, but the true immortal in his family has not been treated like this, but he has been imprisoned in the temple first.

This feeling is really too subtle.

But Ji Qiyun, who was behind Gu Nian, became nervous after hearing Gu Nian's words.

Mr. Gu will never come to Daqian again?

This matter is actually quite normal. After all, Gu Nian is not from Daqian, and Daqian is not a place that he must visit.

For Gu Nian, Daqian is just a small place that is not worth visiting often.

Just coming here once is enough.

However, when she thought that she might never see Gu Nian again in the future, Ji Qiyun felt very sad for some reason.

"No, no!"

Ji Qiyun blurted out without even thinking.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Gu Nian was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ji Qiyun in confusion, not understanding why the other party had such a big reaction.

"Because, because...I'm your friend!"

Ji Qiyun was flustered for a while, and finally found an answer that he thought was appropriate.

"If you never come again, then we will never see each other again, right?"

"Why, you don't plan to acknowledge your friend anymore?"

"That's not the case."

Gu Nian shook his head.

"If you are free, just come to the Su family to find me. As long as you say you are looking for me, no one will dare to embarrass you."

"But, but I don't have that much time. My position makes it difficult for me to leave Daqian."

Ji Qiyun's heart skipped a beat, but then she said helplessly.

At this moment, her attitude towards Gu Nian was indeed a little subtle.

She said she was a friend, but the way she looked looked like she was acting coquettishly to her sweetheart.

Without Ji Qiyun realizing it, she had gradually developed feelings for Gu Nian and was attracted to her.

What Gu Nian did these days really left a deep impression on her.

The reliance and support brought by Gu Nian made the powerless and helpless empress feel the long-lost peace of mind.

Which girl doesn’t have love in her heart?

Naturally, Gu Nian has already kept himself in Ji Qiyun's heart.

As for Jun Xuanyuan?

Ji Qiyun, who was completely disappointed with Jun Xuanyuan, understood one thing very clearly.

I have never been attracted to him.

The only friendship they have between them is probably the friendship they had when they played together as teenagers.

But now.

These friendships were also completely destroyed by Jun Xuanyuan.

After Gu Nian resolved everything, Daqian entered a period of peace.

After this period of development, the entire Daqian is flourishing.

The capital city has calmed down, and those places that were previously affected by natural disasters have now been properly resettled.

With the help of the physical fitness that has been greatly improved due to the nourishment of spiritual energy in this world, the reconstruction work has been almost completed.

In order to overcome the problem of reduced production or even total food loss due to this year's disaster, Gu Nian even helped Ji Qiyun and the others get a batch of food.

Of course, it was not bought. Gu Nian got it directly from the barbarians. Although it was not a lot, it was enough to get through this year.

After this year, when the grain harvest comes next year, everything will return to normal.

In the court, Ji Qiyun and Wu Chunmu worked together and after a lot of hard work, they finally managed to replenish the cultural relics and ministers in the court.

As for the positions left vacant after the death of those disciples and old friends who had previously plotted rebellion, these can only be filled bit by bit.

This is something that cannot be rushed. Even if Gu Nian takes action, there is no good solution.

In short.

The overall situation in Daqian is improving at the moment. As long as we persist, it will basically return to normal by next year.

And as long as it persists for a few more years, Daqian may be able to regain its former heyday.

There is one thing that Gu Nian understands very well, although Wu Chunmu has a strong desire to control power, her abilities are indeed very good.

Sitting in that position, she did everything well.

Ji Qiyun is not bad either. She just lacks some knowledge and experience. Now that she has realized it, she can do very well after a little learning and familiarity.

Moreover, these two people happen to complement each other.

Ji Qiyun is not good at dealing with intrigues, but Wu Chunmu is very good at it.

Wu Chunmu lacks some concern for the people, but Ji Qiyun can make up for it very well.

In addition, with Gu Nian mediating in the middle, Wu Chunmu gave Ji Qiyun some rights so that the other party would not become a puppet emperor.

As long as the entire Daqian continues like this, there will be no problem for at least a hundred years.

However, even so, Gu Nian still felt something was wrong.

It feels like there's always something that doesn't make sense.

For example, where did the misunderstandings between Wu Ningdong and Wu Chunmu come from, and why are they so deeply rooted?

And who gave the order to hunt down Wu Ningdong?

Why have those princes and brothers of the late emperor been so calm until now and not made any noise?

Logically speaking, the legitimate crown prince was young, and there was a puppet empress sitting on the throne, while the one who really held power was a queen mother who had no royal blood.

These princes and nobles would certainly not be able to tolerate such a situation. This was their best opportunity to ascend to the throne, but they did not make any move.

This doesn't make sense.

If it was Gu Nian’s action afterwards that scared them, then what about before?

For such a long time before, they still did nothing.

This is very unreasonable.

The most important thing is that these natural disasters in Daqian came at an unreasonable time.

"Although Daqian's national fortune is not particularly prosperous now, it is not at the point of national destruction, and will not suffer from natural disasters that would destroy the country."

After seeing the trajectory of destiny, the Taoist nun Shumei said to Gu Nian,

"When I first arrived in Daqian, I felt that something was wrong with Daqian's national destiny dragon vein. Sometimes it was empty, sometimes it was solid. This is not what a normal dragon vein should be like."

"Then under what circumstances would something like this happen?"

Gu Nian asked with a frown.

She knew nothing about this matter and had to ask the Taoist nun.

Among the women in the group, she was the only one who had learned astrology and understood this aspect.

Even Su Qingge only knew about destiny and luck, and was not very clear about other things.

"The dragon vein has been pried open."

After thinking for a while, the Taoist nun said to Gu Nian with great certainty,

"This situation will only occur when the dragon vein is unstable."

"Approaching the dragon vein is equivalent to a country's national destiny. If the national destiny is gone, then the dynasty will be on the verge of collapse. That is why so many disasters occur."

At this point, the thoughts of the Taoist nun seemed to be completely opened up, and everything was connected.

"Court struggles, unstable thrones, the loss of power, as well as situations such as rebellion and the people's suffering will all lead to a decline in national fortune and destabilize the dragon veins."
