I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 33 The Wind Rises
The old man suddenly raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Speak!"

"There are rumors in the martial arts world that Gu Yuanqing, the illegitimate son of the Gu family who was demoted by one rank, got a secret sword in Beiquan Mountain. I thought it was just a rumor, but later someone in Cangming Valley confirmed that a few days ago, a long sword flew through the air in Beiquan Mountain, echoing through the mountains, like the legendary sword-controlling technique."

"The art of wielding a sword?"

"Yes, after receiving the news, my grandson went to Silver Moon Pavilion again."

"What does Silver Moon Pavilion say?"

"It is true that the sword-controlling technique appeared in Beiquan Mountain. It is also true that the bastard Gu Yuanqing of the Gu family was in Beiquan Mountain and was a Yuanshi a year ago. However, it is impossible to verify whether he obtained the secret sword of Beiquan Sword Sect. But I sent another piece of news to my grandson. Half a year ago, Qin Tianhan, the elder of Lingxu Sect, and his grandson Qin Baijun visited Beiquan Mountain at night. It is suspected that a master took action. Qin Baijun was a Zhenwu seventh level, but his arm was cut off by Gu Yuanqing."

"What do you think?"

"This news spreads too quickly in the martial arts world. It spread throughout the country in just a few days. I guess it's a trick used by the imperial court to lure the enemy. But after all, it's a serious matter. I think we should report it to the ancestor."

The old man spoke slowly: "Send me a letter to the old man of Tianshamen, I say, you write it!"

One day later.

Deep in the Changling Mountains in Longbei Province.

A short old man looked at the news in his hand with sleepy eyes, took a sip of strong liquor, and laughed: "Old Jiang Hongguang is tempted, but... he doesn't have many years left to live, so he has to go and see what it is like above the Grandmaster."

Daqian Dynasty, in the imperial study.

boom!
The inkstone on the table hit the head of Yu Yiji, a Tian Ce Mansion detective who was kneeling on the ground in front of him. The ink spilled on his body and blood flowed out from his forehead.

"You are a bunch of useless people. What's the point of the court paying you? The news about the secret sword of Beiquan Mountain spread throughout Daqian. You, who are monitoring the martial arts world, took so long to notice anything unusual." Li Haotian was furious. What made him angry was not the news about the secret sword of Beiquan, but the fact that someone had spread the news about Gu Yuanqing to the world.

He imprisoned Gu Yuanqing in Beiquan Mountain because he didn't want anyone to know, but now someone has pushed it to the forefront.

There is no wall that is completely airtight. If someone investigates Gu Yuanqing, it would not be difficult to find some clues. This concerns the reputation of the royal family and Daqian. How could he not be furious?

"I have failed in my duty, please punish me, Your Majesty!" Yu Yiji kowtowed to the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Xu Lianying stood aside with her head down, not daring to interrupt.

"Punish you? Fine, I will sentence you to death!"

Yu Yiji's body stiffened slightly, and then he said resolutely: "I obey your order!" As he spoke, he raised his head and slapped himself on the forehead.

Li Haotian snorted coldly, raised his hand and slapped him, causing Yu Yiji to fall to the ground like a gourd.

"Investigate, investigate thoroughly. Someone from my court is definitely involved in this matter. I want to know who it is within three days. If not, you will cut off your head and send it to me!"

Yu Yijie got up and knocked on the ground: "Within three days, I will find out the truth."

Imperial capital, Qi family.

The Qi family was not a family of officials, but they had a genius who became a disciple of a great master. Since then, their status has risen and they have become no different from nobles in the royal capital.

In the backyard of the Qi family, Qi Daojie was wiping the sword in his hand.

"Mr. Qi, are you satisfied with what my Babao Chamber of Commerce has done this time?" A pot-bellied middle-aged man leaned forward and said with a flattering smile.

Qi Daojie was tall and slender, wearing a brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist. His demeanor revealed a noble temperament. He smiled faintly and said, "Not bad."

The middle-aged man said, "Mr. Qi, can you help me make some connections for what I mentioned last time? Don't worry, I know the rules. 60% of the proceeds will be a gift from my Babao Chamber of Commerce to you."

Qi Daojie sheathed his sword, took off the jade pendant from his waist and threw it over, saying calmly: "Worldly money is external things, I don't care about it, but if I don't accept it, I think you won't feel at ease. Take this jade pendant to the Ministry of Revenue to find Yu Rulin, the Minister of Revenue."

"Thank you, Mr. Qi. I will go to the Ministry of Revenue right away." The middle-aged man took the jade pendant with both hands, his face beaming with joy. Qi Daojie waved his hand calmly.

The middle-aged man bowed repeatedly and then left quickly.

Qi Daojie showed a sneer on his face and murmured in a low voice: "Gu Yuanqing, since you have done something that you shouldn't have done, you should pay the price." As he spoke, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

At the foot of Beiquan Mountain.

The soldiers guarding the mountain gate sat under the arbour and chatted lazily.

"Old Zhang, do you feel that Beiquan Mountain this year is a little different from previous years?"

"Different? What's different?"

"It's different anyway. I can't say anything."

"You think too much. Instead of thinking about it, you might as well take a good rest. Maybe we will be busy again in a while."

"Is there something else I need to be busy about? Why do you say that?"

"Haven't you heard of it?"

"what?"

"You really don't know. It's spread everywhere now. It's said that the young master of the noble family on the Beiquan Mountain has obtained the legendary Beiquan Sword School's secret sword. This secret sword is directly above the Grandmaster level."

"Got the Beiquan Secret Sword? Is this true or false?"

"I don't know whether it's true or not, but if this rumor spreads, Beiquan Mountain will definitely be bustling. Which cultivator wouldn't flock to it? Tell me, should we get busy?"

"This is the forbidden land of Daqian! Don't these people from the martial arts world want to die?" A young guard nearby couldn't help but interrupt.

"Heh, forbidden land, if the people in the martial arts world really cared about forbidden land, then so many people wouldn't have died a few days ago. If I could obtain a cultivation path above the Grandmaster level, even if I offended the imperial court, so what?

Not to mention being above the Grandmaster, as long as one achieves Grandmaster status, he will be worshipped in the court and will only obey the emperor's orders.

People in the underworld do things that add blood to the knife, which is different from us. They will not let go of such an opportunity. "

……

Gu Yuanqing listened quietly to the discussions down the mountain. After a long while, he frowned slightly and said, "Did it get out after all? Just from what they said, it's spread everywhere in the martial arts world. This is too exaggerated, unless someone is fanning the flames."

Gu Yuanqing believed that the Daqian royal family would not do this. They were already busy hiding him, so how could they push him to the forefront?

"In the current situation, someone must be trying to muddy the waters. It seems that I still underestimated the impact of the Beiquan Mountain Secret Sword. Otherwise, they would not have been so public at the time."

"However, if you want to come to Beiquan Mountain to cause trouble for me, you are wrong!" As his mind moved, Gu Yuanqing revealed his sharp edge. The aura around him began to solidify, and the sounds of insects disappeared completely.

In his previous life, he worked hard to make a living, but was worn away by society; in this life, he lives in the royal palace, which has a strict status. He is a bastard's son and has no one to rely on, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he lives with his tail between his legs.

At this time, he has reached the ninth level of Zhenwu and can fight against the masters in Beiquan Mountain. With the help of the system, he has a bright future.

But except for a few people who know, the rest of the people know nothing, just like walking in the night in fine clothes, and there is a little resentment in their hearts.

Now, someone has brought it to your doorstep, how can you not be excited and emotional?
