I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

From the look of her, it was obvious that she had misunderstood.

Gu Ming explained with a smile: "Xiaoqian, the method of double cultivation I'm talking about does not require physical contact, but a kind of secret technique on the spiritual level."

"Spiritual level?" Nie Xiaoqian murmured if she had realized something, "Could it be derived from Taoism? Where did you learn it?"

"It's a strange thing to say from a painting."

"A picture?"

"To be precise, it's the world in the painting. I haven't told you about this. When I was in Hanshan Temple last time, I accidentally entered a world in the painting."

Gu Ming briefly talked about the experience in the painting.

Of course, some details with Luo Yan were naturally skipped.

After listening, Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help but look strange, looked at Gu Ming and asked, "Why do you always encounter some weird things?"

Gu Ming happily replied: "Because, from the first time I saw you, my bizarre life began."

"You will be poor." Nie Xiaoqian said angrily, and continued: "But, the secret method you mentioned is only in the world in the painting. Will it still have effect after it comes out?"

"I don't know either. I've been ignoring it before, but I suddenly remembered it just now, so I want to try it. If it succeeds, it will be of great benefit to both of us in our cultivation."

"Well, then try it out."

"Go, let's go home and try now. Yingning, you can turn around now."

Yingning rolled her eyes cutely.

This little guy is getting more and more human now.

Back home, the two sat cross-legged in the room, Gu Ming carefully recalled the mantra, and then slowly explained it to Nie Xiaoqian.

Although this method is divided into two parts, Yin and Yang, the formula must be mastered by both practitioners at the same time.

The formula is not complicated, Nie Xiaoqian quickly memorized it, and the next step is to explore the method of breath adjustment

This time it went extremely smoothly, after all, the two of them had been together for so long, and their hearts had already been connected.

In less than two hours, both parties were connected online.

This is a rather subtle realm, without speaking, one can communicate with each other with ideas.

At the same time, the aura of both parties will also operate in a way of yin and yang, achieving a magical effect similar to the unity of man and nature.

In fact, this secret method can not only improve the state of mind, but also improve the physique of both practitioners to a certain extent, which can be described as infinitely wonderful.

morning.

sunny.

In the small courtyard, on a whim, Gu Ming sat in the courtyard and played the song Yangguan Sandie.

While playing, while singing:

"Changting Liu Yiyi, the morning rain in Weicheng is light and the dust is light, the inn is green and the willows are new. I advise you to drink a glass of wine, and go west to Yangguan without any old friends.

Changting Liu Yiyi, sad and sad, the ancestors sent me off to the old man, farewell to Shili Pavilion.Deep affection, deep affection, deep affection, can't bear to divide, can't bear to divide. "

"The morning rain in Weicheng is light and the dust is light, and the green willows in the inn are fresh. I advise you to drink a glass of wine, and go west to Yangguan without any old friends.

Carry the luggage, sand the wine bottle, and carry the wine in the Changting Pavilion.Thousands of miles away, the heart is already drunk before drinking"

Nie Xiaoqian and Yu'er were fascinated by the beautiful melody, beautiful lyrics, and deep and magnetic voice.

Even Ying Ning obediently lay at Gu Ming's feet, raised her head, and listened intently.

At the end of the song, the lingering sound is still curling up.

"Hahaha, this trip was really worthwhile, this old man! I heard such a beautiful song when I first came here. Gu Jieyuan really lives up to his reputation, and his talent is amazing, which is admirable!"

Suddenly there was a burst of high-fives and hearty laughter outside the courtyard.

Gu Ming glanced over subconsciously, but found that several people rushed into the yard at once.

One of them was the father-in-law, and the other Gu Ming couldn't help but twitched when they saw the appearance of this person.

"Daddy"

"master

Nie Xiaoqian and Yu'er came to their senses, and both went up to greet her with a salute.

"Master Fu, this is my little girl, and this is her personal maid, Yu'er."

"I've seen Master Fu!"

Nie Xiaoqian and Yu'er gave blessings respectively.

"My son-in-law, come and meet Mr. Fu, Minister of the Ministry of War."

Minister of the Ministry of War?

Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help being taken aback. Just now her father just called Mr. Fu. She thought it was an official from the government office, but she didn't expect it to be the Minister of the Ministry of War.

"Lord Nie, this old man is just passing through this place as an individual, so there is no need to pay attention to the etiquette in the official circle."

This person's name is Fu Tianchou, he is the minister of the military department of the court, he is an important minister of the court, he is a second-rank official, and he is accompanied by guards in light clothes.

"I've met Mr. Fu!" Gu Ming stepped forward and bowed his hands.

"Gu Jieyuan doesn't need to be too polite!" Fu Tianchou waved his hands cheerfully: "The old man has heard of Gu Jieyuan's name many times in the imperial court, and they all say that Gu Jieyuan is young and promising, talented, and well-educated."

"Your Majesty Fu, please take a seat, Lord Nie, please take a seat, Yu'er, hurry up and make tea."

"Yes!"

Yu'er responded, and quickly ran to make tea.

"I don't know what business Master Fu has in Guobei County?"

After sitting down, Gu Ming asked with some doubts.

Fu Tianchou smiled and waved his hands: "It's not on business, but I'm passing by here on my way back to visit my relatives, so I stopped by to visit Gu Jieyuan."

"My lord speaks too hard!"

"Haha, this old man is really not being polite. To tell you the truth, Gu Jieyuan, this old man has been reading your book The Legend of the White Snake recently, and the little girl also likes this book very much."

Fu Tianchou seemed to have been prepared for a long time, reached into his bosom, and took out a book from his bosom.

Looking at the cover, it is the Legend of the White Snake.

"Gu Jieyuan, the old man has a merciless request. I wonder if Gu Jieyuan can write a title for this book?"

Naturally, Gu Ming would not refuse such a small request, and immediately ordered Yu'er to fetch pen and ink, pondered for a while, and inscribed a poem on the title page of the book: It is difficult to break the world with a broken bridge, and continue the frontier by the West Lake.

Then he attached his name and stamped his seal.

"Great! Thank you, Gu Jieyuan!"

Fu Tianchou was overwhelmed with surprise, and expressed his heartfelt thanks.

"It's a trivial matter, Mr. Fu, you don't have to be polite!"

Gu Ming returned a salute with a smile.

In fact, he guessed in his heart that Fu Tianchou's visit might not be as simple as just signing his name, but probably something else.

After all, a dignified Minister of the Ministry of War would not make a special trip here just to sign his name.

As expected, after chatting for a while, Fu Tianchou finally mentioned the real purpose of coming: "Actually, I have something to ask about here."

"Master Fu, it's okay to ask."

"Before leaving Beijing, the empress knew somehow that the old man was going back to his hometown, so she sent someone to let the old man drop by to inquire, and asked Gu Jieyuan when the second volume of "Dream of Red Mansions" would be released?"

"Uh?"

Gu Ming was a little dazed.

Nie Hongshu and his daughter also looked at each other in surprise.

After all, the empress and empress are so devoted to this book that she even entrusted the minister of the Ministry of War to urge it to change?

"Actually, it's not just the empress who is asking, many veteran officials in the court are also paying attention to Gu Jieyuan's chapter.

Especially the four volumes of Romance of the West Chamber, A Dream of Red Mansions, The Legend of the White Snake, and Sanyan Erpai. As far as I know, many ministers in the court have collected them.

Especially Master Zhang, Shangshu of the Ministry of History, likes your books even more, and once even praised you as the most talented person in the dynasty in front of the emperor."

The Ministry of History is the head of the six departments. How many people in the world can win such praise from the Minister of the Ministry of History?

Therefore, upon hearing Fu Tianchou's words, Gu Ming's heart could not help but feel a little ups and downs.

According to the original plan, he originally planned to release the second volume of A Dream of Red Mansions at the end of the year, but now that the situation has changed, the plan has to be changed.

After all, it was rare for the empress to open her mouth, so she had to save face. After all, this was not something that violated the principle, nor was it asking him to change the content of the book.

Seeing that Gu Ming was silent, Fu Tianchou couldn't help but said carelessly: "Could it be that Gu Jieyuan has any difficulties? Just ask if you have any difficulties, and the old man will definitely solve them for you."

Gu Ming smiled and waved his hands: "No, no, thank you, Master Fu, for your kindness. In fact, there is no difficulty. In fact, the second volume of A Dream of Red Mansions is almost finished, and it can be delivered for printing in about half a month."

Hearing this, Fu Tianchou couldn't help being pleasantly surprised: "Half a month? That's great!"

"Well, but it will take a few days to print. Please rest assured, Mr. Fu. As soon as the book is printed, I will ask someone to send it to the capital as quickly as possible."

Fu Tianchou nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, but you can send more than just one copy, after all, many empresses in the harem like to read books written by Gu Jieyuan.

The old man will return to the capital in a few days, so at that time, he can send someone to deliver the book directly to the Shangshu Mansion. "

"no problem!"

Fu Tianchou looked relieved: "That's great!"

After chatting for a while, Fu Tianchou got up to leave.

Nie Hongshu stayed with him kindly: "It's rare for Mr. Fu to come here, why not stay for two more days, so that the subordinate officials can fully enjoy the friendship of the landlord."

"Master Nie, the schedule for this old man's return home is relatively hasty, so it is inconvenient to stay here."

Speaking of this, he smiled at Gu Ming again and said: "By the way, Gu Jieyuan must go to the capital to participate in the test in March next year, right? When you arrive in the capital, you must remember to come to the old man's house. The old man must have a drink with Gu Jieyuan. A few cups."

Gu Ming clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Fu invites you, I will come to visit you!"

Before leaving, Fu Tianchou took out a name sticker and handed it to Gu Ming, and once again asked Gu Ming to come to the house as a guest when he arrived in the capital.

Afterwards, Weng and his son-in-law sent Fu Tianchou and his party out of the city.

When the other party walked away, Nie Hongshu couldn't help but sighed, looked at Gu Ming and said, "Son-in-law, I don't think this matter is so simple."

"What's the matter? Father-in-law thinks there is something hidden in it?"

"Even if the Empress is eager to see the sequel of Dream of the Red Chamber, she will not entrust important ministers in the court to come and urge her. She has plenty of people under her command."

"Isn't Mr. Fu just going back to his hometown to visit relatives? It's not a big deal for the Empress to ask him to drop by, right?"

Nie Hongshu sighed: "No matter what the reason is, in my opinion, the reason why Master Fu is so enthusiastic is because he is interested in your future.

Since ancient times, there have been many disputes in courts and factions, and each of them is pulling people to join their own camp.

Therefore, after you enter Beijing, you must keep your eyes open, keep calm, and be good at observation and judgment.

Many officials who had a promising future were hindered or even innocently affected because they entered the wrong camp.

However, if you are afraid of falling into the wrong camp and want to remain neutral, it is impossible to be alone."

Gu Ming naturally understands these reasons, but he still listens humbly.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it can be said to be perilous.

Because there is an old monster more terrifying than the Montenegro old monster hidden in the court, that is the current guardian of the country, and the dharma name is quite resounding: Purdue Cihang!

Fortunately, according to what Gu Ming knows now, this old demon has not yet gained the emperor's absolute favor, nor has he attacked the important officials in the court on a large scale.

However, the current timeline is already messed up, so Gu Ming can't tell when this old monster started to make trouble.

In short, be careful!

Even if you want to deal with this old demon, you have to get a reputation as the number one scholar first.

Only in this way can we have the confidence and strength to fight against it

Speaking of it, the reason why the centipede spirit wanted to risk the world's dissatisfaction by sneaking into the court to become the current priest was not to enjoy the glory and wealth.
