Creation Color Master

Chapter 28 The Theory of Luck

For several days, Chu Mo has been paying attention to the news from the Fuyun black market, and he is 100% sure that the news about the forget-me-not grass is true.

For this purpose, Chu Mo also contacted the secret guard who was responsible for the news of Floating Cloud City, and he has been running around for him these days.

Tomorrow is the day when the black market auction begins. Chu Mo decides to take Chen Gong and Yang Jiye with him tonight.

At noon, an unexpected person arrived at the theater.

The ghost looked at the theater, which had not changed in the past few days, and immediately looked around with great interest.

Chen Gong closed the book in his hand and said, "Hello, sir. I planted some flowers and plants in the garden when I had nothing to do. This can be regarded as the leisure and elegance of a scholar."

Although listening to Chen Gong's words, the ghost could also see that the flowers and plants planted here were all spiritual objects. Although each one was not so precious and rare, they were in line with the large formation in the garden, and the location of each flower and plant was just right.

The ghost looked up and saw a plaque on the stone pavilion, with the words "Tingyu Pavilion" written on it.

At the same time, there is a couplet on both sides. The upper couplet is: Listen to the wind and rain in the Tingyu Pavilion, and the lower couplet is: Sit on the Taoism Stone and discuss Taoism.

Guiying felt that although this couplet lacked some literary talent, the calligraphy of the person who wrote it was the best in the world and this calligraphy could be sold for thousands of gold in the imperial city.

Chu Mo couldn't come back to his senses after seeing the ghost for a long time, so he said respectfully: "Excuse me, sir. I made this couplet when I was free, but the calligraphy was suggested by Mr. Gongtai. Please forgive me for making fun of you."

During this period of time, Chu Mo had already learned about the Dark Guards through various channels. This was a force secretly controlled by the emperor and spread throughout the entire dynasty. It was a very terrifying force. The man in black standing in front of him was the direct ruler of the Dark Guards, who always accompanied the emperor.

Guiying, one of the few third-level cultivators in the Xiayang Dynasty, is a killer. Even with the addition of the formation, Chu Mo's current strength is no match for him.

Hearing Chu Mo's words, the ghost looked at Chu Mo with interest, and more with appreciation.

Before the first conversation, Chen Gong already knew the identity of the ghost, so he said: "I don't know why the general is here. The palace is busy with affairs, and the general is not by the emperor's side to obey orders. How can you have time to come here?"

The ghost said with a smile: "Mr. Gongtai, the emperor wanted to come here in person to listen to your teachings, but the war between the dynasty and the ancient barbarians happened a while ago. He couldn't sleep at night because of this matter and was too busy to attend to it. So he sent me here to give you some gifts. Please don't treat you badly in terms of resources. My lord can't come, I hope you can forgive me."

Chen Gong smiled and said, "General, you worry too much. Gong Ben is a man from the countryside and is used to simple meals. Besides, the emperor puts state affairs first, works diligently and is a wise ruler who benefits the country and the people. How can he let down the people of the world because of Chen Gong?"

The ghost said respectfully: "Sir, you are right. Besides this, my lord also wants to hear the opinion of Mr. Gongtai."

Chen Gong smiled and stroked his long beard, saying: "Although this matter seems confusing on the surface, there is an oversight. The envoy sent by the dynasty had just completed his mission and was killed before returning to the dynasty. How could the assassin know the specific whereabouts of the envoy's return to the dynasty?"

"And if they dared to attack, why did they choose to do it outside Hanyang Pass? Naturally, they didn't want to expose themselves, but they also wanted to put the blame on Gu Man."

The ghost was shocked when he heard this, because the emperor and the ministers had the same idea this morning, but there was still no clue.

Chen Gong continued, "According to my guess, Gu Man is not that stupid. The perpetrators of the assassination are still within the dynasty. General, you can go back and ask the emperor to think about who is most unwilling to see the two countries form an alliance. Whoever had the greatest objection at the time is the most suspicious."

The ghost said happily, "Thank you sir, I will report the truth when I go back."

Then the ghost asked with a smile: "Why don't I see Taoist Zhang Jiao? Has he left?"

Chen Gong smiled and said, "Daoist friend Zhang Jiao left a long time ago to continue his travels. He didn't even tell me where he was going."

The ghost nodded, as if he had expected this, and said, "Since Mr. Gongtai is good friends with Taoist Zhang Jiao, I'll have to trouble you to keep this thing for him." Then he took out two imperial edicts and two storage bags.

Chu Mo naturally knew what this was. After all, the emperor's decree had already been conveyed to the world. Although he was envious of the reward, unfortunately he did not accept it because it could not be exposed.

I didn't expect it to be sent to him.

At the side, the ghost couldn't help but remind him: "Chu Mo, this is not only for Taoist Zhang Jiao, but also for Doctor Yan Yonghe. He is a friend of Taoist Zhang Jiao. When the time comes, I will trouble you to tell Taoist Zhang Jiao to hand over Doctor Yan's reward to him personally."

Chu Mo was very happy when he heard this and said, "It's not a problem for me, it's what I should do."

The ghost nodded and said, "I received the Eagle Message you sent me. It's well written. It seems you are quite talented. Keep up the good work."

Chu Mo smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, sir."

The ghost nodded, then looked at Chen Gong and said respectfully, "Mr. Gongtai, although my master cannot come, he is willing to support you in your study of Confucianism. He has specially asked me to bring some things with me. I hope you will not abandon them."

After saying that, he waved his hand again, and a storage bag floated in front of Chen Gong.

Chen Gong did not refuse, but bowed and said, "Chen Gong thanks the emperor."

Seeing Chen Gong accept it, Guiying was overjoyed, as it meant that Chen Gong was optimistic about the Xiayang Dynasty and that he would have the opportunity to serve as an official in the future.

In this way, the trip will be worthwhile.

The ghost then encouraged Chu Mo for some time and then said goodbye and left.

After leaving, Zhang Jue and Yao Guangxiao were called out by Chu Mo. When Zhang Jue saw the two imperial edicts in Chu Mo's hand, his eyes lit up.

He said, "Haha, what a pure power of destiny. This must be the imperial decree from the current emperor conferring the title of Emperor Yonghe on me. My lord, can you let me handle this?"

Chu Mo was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, Taoist priest, could this imperial edict have any other miraculous uses?"

Zhang Jue smiled and said, "My lord, the luck of this dynasty is formed by the people of the world. If you have luck, you can increase your cultivation speed, turn misfortune into fortune, wash away your karma, and ghosts and gods will avoid you. Many sages have achieved such great success because of their great luck. When luck is condensed to a certain level, it can even create a new dynasty."

"When I founded the Taiping Dao, my original intention was to gather the scattered luck of the Eastern Han Dynasty and bless myself, so as to open up a new dynasty."

"But things don't always go as planned. Although I used magic water to cure diseases and save lives, and my followers were spread across the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, most of the power they gathered was the power of faith. The foundation of the Han Dynasty was still unshakable, and the luck they gathered was pitifully small, which led to the failure of the uprising."

Chu Mo nodded and said, "Master, are you planning to use these two imperial edicts to gather our luck?"

Zhang Jue nodded and said, "Of course, but we still need a lot of materials. When the time comes, I will offer the imperial edict to the top floor of the theater."

The theater is the tallest building in the theater, with four floors. The first floor is the family ancestral hall, where the sages of all generations are enshrined; the second floor is the altar specially set up by Zhang Jiao; the third floor is the central center of the formation; and the fourth floor is now used to store imperial edicts to condense destiny.

In the blink of an eye, the agreed time had arrived. Chu Mo did not dare to be careless at all and hurried straight to Floating Cloud City.

Walking into Floating Cloud City, Chu Mo was dressed like a rich young man. Chen Gong on his left was still dressed as a scholar. Yang Jiye also changed his clothes and was now dressed like a guard.

The three of them entered the city and soon reunited with the secret guard Zhang Zhan whom they had contacted before.
