I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 44: Changing the Foundation (Part )

Daqian Palace.

Li Haotian held the secret report in his hand. Even though he was an emperor with deep scheming, he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the news.

He once guessed from Prince Qing that Gu Yuanqing might be above the Grandmaster level, but Prince Qing was only at the Zhenwu realm after all, so it was inevitable that he might make a misjudgment.

And now, Tianzhu old man Jiang Hongguang died at his hands with a sword. The meaning is self-evident.

If he was not above the Grandmaster, how could he kill the Grandmaster with one sword? Even if this person was not Gu Yuanqing, he must be the person behind Gu Yuanqing. If not, he would not have made several moves.

Li Haotian pondered for a long time, then asked, "Has Grandmaster Qin returned to the capital?"

"Your Majesty, I haven't come back yet. I guess I was delayed by something."

Li Haotian nodded.

"My dear companion, Uncle Xuanqing is here to visit the imperial study."

"Yes, old slave, go right away."

Half an hour later, Prince Qing came to the imperial study and bowed, saying, "This old minister greets your majesty."

"Uncle Wang, please stand up and sit down for a conversation."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat."

After Prince Qing sat down, he asked, "Your Majesty summoned me here late at night. What's the important matter?"

"Uncle Wang, take a look at this first."

Li Haotian handed over the secret report.

Prince Qing took it with both hands. He could tell at a glance that the secret report came from the Divine Eagle Guard. He read through the contents and his expression was slightly shocked.

After a moment, Prince Qing put down the letter.

"Your Majesty, are you ready to tell me the truth?"

Li Hao gave a look, and Xu Lianying bowed and retreated, dismissing the other people around and guarding outside the imperial study.

At this time, Li Haotian smiled bitterly and said, "Last time, Uncle Wang asked me why I didn't tell you about Gu Yuanqing's situation. Now I'm telling you that I don't know either.

To be honest with you, Uncle Wang, regarding what happened last year, in my opinion, even if Gu Yuanqing died a thousand times, it would not be enough to vent my hatred. It was Miao Xuan who insisted on saving his life and imprisoned him in Beiquan Mountain.

It is said to be a forbidden area, but in reality it is just a deserted mountain, with only the guards who are guarding the seal of the Demon Realm at the foot of the mountain to watch over it.

I wanted to make him lonely for the rest of his life, as a punishment.

But half a month later, Miao Xuan suddenly told me that she was pregnant and wanted to find the way to immortality. She didn't want to stay in the palace, so she wanted to give birth to this child to be the heir of my Li family. I didn't allow it at first, but I couldn't stand her temper.

At present, Gu Yuanqing's name has spread all over the world, and it can no longer be hidden. Regardless of whether Gu Yuanqing or the people behind him are above the Grandmaster, the word "imprisonment" is no longer appropriate. However, this matter concerns the face of my Daqian royal family, and I have no one else to discuss it with, so I invited Uncle Wang. "

Prince Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "Has Your Majesty issued an edict?"

"Of course not, it's just a verbal instruction."

"Then your majesty, please don't do anything else for now. I heard that Gu Yuanqing likes reading, so why not have someone send some books up to him later?"

"Then the Gu family..."

……

The grandmaster was killed by a single sword strike. This was a top priority event in the martial arts world. The news spread like wildfire and spread throughout the world in a few days.

Linping County is about three hundred miles away from Beiquan Mountain.

In a teahouse, a forty-year-old storyteller was on the stage with a beaming face and eloquent tongue, gesticulating with a folding fan as he spoke.

"Just then, in a flash, a silver light flashed, and a thousand layers of wind and ten thousand layers of waves were rolled up. When the old man Tianzhu looked carefully, he found a sword light coming at him. He was so scared that his liver and gallbladder were about to break. In a hurry, he used the Night Battle in All Directions and danced the Ice Soul Cold Jade Bamboo in his hand tightly..."

"Haha, Li Kangwen, you are going to make me laugh to death. That's a master. You said the master used the Night Battle of Eight Directions?"

The storyteller on the stage was interrupted by the voice and was very displeased. He scolded: "Qiu Laoer, what do you know? This is called returning to basics. Do you think the Grandmaster's Night Battle of Eight Directions is the same as yours? It is impenetrable." "Okay, okay, I'll assume that what you said is right, but I heard from the third son of the Hu family that you didn't rush over when the Grandmaster was fighting, and you were still on the way when all the Grandmasters left."

"What nonsense! After I heard the news, I went to Beiquan Mountain myself, slept in the open air, and waited for three days and nights before I saw the battle between the masters with my own eyes. How can I allow you to talk nonsense?" The storyteller glared at him. To steal someone's money was like killing their parents. He now wished he could kill Qiu Laoer.

"Okay, tell me quickly, grandpa, I paid to come in and listen to the book, not to watch you quarrel." A skinny old man said dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, either you tell the story quickly or return the money."

One person starts and everyone follows.

After a while, the spectators in the teahouse started to shout.

"Sorry, sorry, ladies and gentlemen, I'll tell you right away." The storyteller glared at Qiu Laoer and continued to get ready to start talking.

Suddenly, a group of yamen runners pushed the door open and entered.

The first person was dressed in blue with a silver shark knife on his waist. He glanced around with sharp eyes, then waved his hand and the yamen runners behind him pasted a portrait of a sea policeman on the wall.

"Tian Ce Mansion orders that anyone who can provide true information about the person in the portrait will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and anyone who can help capture the person will be rewarded with 100 gold coins."

Then the group left in a hurry.

Those who were originally sitting and listening to the book gathered around to watch.

"I'll give you a hundred taels of silver if you report the news. Who do you want to catch this time?"

"Xu Wu Xing? Is he the one ranked seventh on the blacklist? I think it's better to forget it. This money can be earned but not spent."

"What are you afraid of? If you see it, just report it to the government office and you will get a hundred taels of silver. How would he know who reported it?"

The skinny old man stood up and looked at the portrait from a distance, cursing in his heart: "Damn it, these grandsons of Tiance Mansion are really serious this time, and they even sent people to this small town. This time, they really missed the target and ended up with a mess.

But it's strange, since they let me go, why are they in such a hurry to catch me now? Could it be that they were involved in some previous incident? Fortunately, I am proficient in the art of disguise and have been prepared. Otherwise, the group of hawks and dogs in Tiance Mansion would have smelled my scent and I would not be able to get rid of them. "

……

Beiquan Mountain.

The people from the martial arts world around finally dispersed gradually, but some people were unwilling to leave and waited outside to see if there would be any other masters coming.

But obviously he had miscalculated and had to wait a few more days in vain.

The guards at the foot of the mountain finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were originally tasked with guarding the seal of the Demon Cave, and they also had to monitor Beiquan Mountain day and night. These days, almost everyone has been practicing and patrolling. Now they can finally take a break.

Gu Yuanqing has also resumed his daily practice. After killing old man Tianzhu with one sword, he finally relaxed.

Moreover, this also means that in Daqian, in Beiquan Mountain, he no longer needs to fear anyone.

Life and death are no longer decided by others, even if the emperor comes... Well, he is Miao Xuan's father after all, so he still has to give him some face.

However, he no longer took the so-called imprisonment by the royal family to heart.

When one's strength exceeds that of a Grandmaster, these so-called rules are no longer rules!

The complete relaxation of his mind began to affect his practice from the inside out, and the true energy in his body seemed to become more active.

Cultivation is essentially the cultivation of the mind, and changes in one’s state of mind will naturally reflect everything.

Whether it is viewing the mountains or controlling objects, it seems more agile and natural than before.

The long sword was flying freely in Beiquan Mountain like a dragon, and occasionally the sound of breaking through the air could be heard, but there was no need to worry about anything.

And his cultivation had unknowingly advanced very far into the ninth level of Zhenwu.

At this point, he placed most of his attention on the deduction of his mental method, because he needed to change his foundation before breaking through to the Grandmaster level!
