The Path Toward Heaven

After Shigou, Peng Lang and others ascended, Gu Qing didn't leave again. He didn't know whether it was because of long-term homesickness or other reasons, so he stayed in Shenmo Peak.

Three years later, he took his two wives and began to travel around the mainland in the Gu family's carriage, quite like Jing Jiu's travels with Zhao Layue and Winter.

In the fourth year, they went to Guocheng Temple, where the former God Emperor Jingyao, who lived in seclusion and became a monk, finally met them, and even went back to Chaoge City together.

On the second night after returning to Chaoge City, Empress Dowager Hu closed her eyes and passed away.

When she died, she was not in the former bedroom, but in the side hall next to the main hall, and even the couch was still the same.

Jing Yao's father left on that couch.

Looking at the sleeping woman on the couch, Jing Yao's face was pale, his monk's clothes fluttered, and he was silent for a whole night.

Until now, he still couldn't figure out who his mother loved.

Those are not important anymore, there are still many things to be arranged, such as opening the mausoleum, such as closing the tomb, such as keeping filial piety, such as missing.

...

...

Gu Qing and Zhen Tao stood on the stone steps in front of the hall, watching the morning light projected from the newly built Zhengyang Gate five hundred years ago.

Zhen Tao's eyes were red and swollen like real peaches, it was because she cried too much.

There was no trace of sadness on Lu Qing's face, but he was more taciturn than usual.

Let's go.

He took Zhen Tao out of the palace and went to the Jing family's old house.

After Brother Li, the Jing family is an ordinary person, and it has been passed down for several generations. They don’t have much memory of what happened more than 500 years ago, but they still keep the study room, which is carefully cleaned every day, and they dare not move it. Just a few decades ago, someone thought that the land outside the study window was too empty, so they planted a crabapple tree.

That crabapple was chopped by my aunt herself back then, who would have thought that it would be planted back hundreds of years later.

Standing in front of the window, Gu Qing looked at the crabapple tree that was snowing, and said, Look, going around is actually going around in circles.

Zhen Tao was silent for a while, then said, I didn't expect that you would send her back in the end.

Lu Qing said: She and His Majesty have always had a good relationship.

Zhen Tao couldn't help asking: Then what about you and her?

Lu Qing looked at the crabapple flowers that were slowly falling, and said leisurely: You should know it well after watching it for hundreds of years.

I can't figure it out. Don't say that she and I like you too... You know, I don't like you.

Zhen Tao was silent for a while, and said: I just hate you and her, so I will follow you, and I will make it impossible for you to be truly happy for hundreds of years.

Gu Qing didn't speak.

Zhen Tao looked at his gray temples, and suddenly couldn't bear it, and said in a trembling voice, You can ascend.

Lu Qing reached out and touched her head, and said, I'm already old, so why force it.

Zhen Tao couldn't help crying again.

...

...

If the sky is loving, the sky is also old.

Fortunately, this kind of thing will not happen, time is still flowing slowly, and the sky of Chaotian Continent is still blue and peaceful.

Another few years passed, and there was no news from the upper realm, which inevitably caused a lot of speculation, and then there were some signs of instability.

Somewhere in the distant West Wind Continent, someone finally stood up and tried to restore the world to its original order.

The Shenzhou Penglai Island returned from a different continent brought back the news.

Ping Yongjia opened his eyes on Jianfeng Peak, ran to Yunji Town to eat hot pot, then ran to Nanhezhou, Xiaoshan Chong, Moqiu, passed Tongtianjing, ran to the East China Sea, passed the whirlpool, and continued to run until he crossed the outer island where the giant was, and ran all the way into the West Wind Gust.

The whole process took him half a day, and he even stopped by the island to speak a few words with the giant. When he came to West Wind Continent, he went to the holy capital where the Holy See was located, showed his figure, said a few words to everyone, killed the brave Pope, and then returned to Jianfeng to continue to sleep.

A few days later, the young head of the Zhongzhou faction came to visit.

Zhuo Juexiao stepped on the sword straight into the layer of clouds, landed in front of the cliff cave, waved away the smoke and dust, stared at Ping Yongjia's face and said seriously: Don't you think it's annoying to be the master?

Ping Yongjia opened his eyes, sighed helplessly and said, In the beginning, one was lazier than the other, but later one ran faster than the other, what can I do?

Zhuo Juexiao rubbed his hands together, and said, Uncle Ping, I'm not lazy, I'm still young, and I don't plan to run away in a short time, or you will let me shoulder the head of Qingshan?

Ping Yongjia was even more helpless, and said, Bai Zao shouldn't have taken you to sea back then.

Zhuo Juexiao knew that he still couldn't convince the other party this time, so he said the real news: They are all gone.

Ping Yongjia said: That's good, you should also concentrate on cultivation and strive to ascend as soon as possible.

Zhuo Juexiao sneered and said, Why do you feel like wishing me an early death?

Ping Yongjia was so choked by her that she couldn't speak, and said: You don't talk, you are like your father.

...

...

The black battleship moves slowly in the dark universe.

A huge black dog lay quietly above the battleship.

Its black hair flutters slowly and unintentionally in the windless space, like black water plants, absorbing the light of the extremely distant white star,

This battleship is not particularly huge, only more than 3,000 meters long. The gray-black composite material boards block all the windows, and it looks like a piece of armor or a pattern.

If people see this scene, they will be shocked beyond words.

At this moment, those people in the battleship are also staring at each other and speechless.

Que Niang, Yuan Qu and his wife haven't woken up yet, thinking that this is what happened to Feisheng? It doesn't seem to make much sense, why is this world so dark, cold and desolate, not to mention compared with the fairy world in the legend, it is much more boring than the world Zhuo Juexiao said.

Standing at the forefront of the command cabin, Peng Lang looked at the internal structural diagram of the battleship displayed on the light curtain, his ordinary face was full of curiosity.

Accompanied by the clear sound of machine parts rubbing, the door of the medical cabin opened, and a huge robot stepped out.

Shen Yunbu's voice came from the robot: Let me introduce myself, my name is Shen Yunbu, the commander-in-chief of this operation.

Tong Yan was asking Su Ziye about He Zhan's situation, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but look up at him.

Shen Yunbu's face is so thick, especially after being soaked in the potion for so many days, he said without changing his expression: Father Shen Qingshan.

Que Niang, Yuan Qu and the others originally thought this metal puppet was so weird that they dared to compete with Tong Yan for commanding, but when they heard these words, their expressions suddenly changed.

Shen Qingshan is the name of Patriarch Qingshan, if this spirit attached to the puppet is the son of Patriarch Qingshan, it must be extraordinary.

Yuan Qu and Junior Sister Yushan respected each other, saluted and said: I have met senior.

Que Niang and Su Ziye saluted earnestly, and even Peng Lang saluted as a junior.

If it weren't for the battleship being fully shielded at this time, even the corpse dog would bow its head when it heard this self-introduction.

Don't listen to him. Tong Yan said expressionlessly, Both sides have their own opinions, and Jing Jiu wouldn't call him senior, and he and Patriarch Qingshan have turned against each other.

Hearing these words, the expression of these new generation ascenders in the battleship changed again, wondering if this is the enemy?

Shen Yunbu felt the change in the atmosphere in the battleship, especially when he saw Peng Lang's hand on the hilt of his sword. He didn't dare to joke anymore, and hurriedly said: Don't get me wrong, I am Jing Jiu's best friend in this world, and it is because of him that I broke up with the old man at home.

Peng Lang thought that this is the case, his right hand left the hilt of the sword, Yuan Qu and Que Niang looked at each other, thinking this is right.

Such a calm reaction was somewhat beyond Shen Yun's expectation, he asked puzzledly: Aren't you surprised?

Su Ziye said with a slight mockery: The Qingshan sect, it's normal to bully the master and destroy the ancestors, but Master Jingyang has that temper, how can something happen?

Shen Yunbu controlled the robot and pointed to the top of the battleship, meaning the guard, and said, How will it stand in line? This is the biggest problem.

Yuan Qu righteously said: Master Ye Xiao will not care about the internal struggles in Qingshan.

Shen Yun said with a sneer: Who would believe this? Who knocked Mo Chengfeng's sword formation away?

Yuan Qu was speechless, thinking how do you know these things?

Tong Yan couldn't stand it anymore, walked between the two sides, looked at the new generation of ascendants and said, You should have been given enough time to learn the common sense rules of this world, but because the time is too tight, we will use a simpler method, just have a rough idea first.

After saying this, he asked Yuan Qu and others to put on the brain-computer communication system he had prepared long ago, and began to pour in information.

The huge robot leaned against the wall of the battleship, looked at the newcomers who were studying with their eyes closed, and suddenly asked, Who do you think is the fastest?

Tong Yan said, I don't know.

...

...

Without any accident, Peng Lang was the first to open his eyes, took off the system, and said after a moment of silence: It's very interesting.

Shen Yunbu said, Isn't it more fun than your place?

Peng Lang ignored him, and said to Tong Yan: It should be deeper.

Tong Yan explained: There is not much time, you can watch it by yourself on the way.

Then Su Ziye and the others also opened their eyes one after another, and it turned out that they were in the same order as the cultivation realm.

When they first opened their eyes, their eyes were a little dazed, but they soon calmed down. They were just thoughtful, and they should still be thinking about the content of the information.

If this is a light battleship and this is a robot, what about you who is talking? Is it a program inside? Yuan Qu asked looking at the robot.

Shen Yunbu was a little annoyed, opened the door of the control room, and said, I am a living person!

Yuan Qu and Yu Shan were taken aback by that head, and said, Is this a ghost?

Su Ziye's expression remained unchanged, and he said, It's just a ghost cultivation technique.

Tong Yan shook her head, pulled back the rhythm of the conversation again, pointed to the star map on the light curtain and said: In front of the battleship is the sun of Chaotian Continent, we will wipe it over, about ten minutes later, the battleship will open for a short time, don't miss the time window.

Yuan Qu was puzzled and asked: The universe... the rule of navigation is to stay away from massive celestial bodies, such as neutron stars, white dwarfs, black holes, etc. Although it is just an ordinary star, it also has hidden dangers. Why do you want to approach it?

Shen Yunbu said: The more dangerous the place, the more benefits. According to the data collected by Jing Jiu himself, the collection of immortal energy is the fastest in a certain near-stellar orbital space area. You have just ascended, and you need to improve your realm and strength as soon as possible. Go there to refine the immortal energy.

Yuan Qu was very speechless, thinking that he had finally succeeded in ascension. Although...coming to this dark world does not feel like becoming a fairy, it is the most important leap on the road after all. Not to mention a banquet to celebrate, but also a period of quiet comprehension. Why are you so busy? Then he thought of what Tong Yan said about the urgency of time, and what Shen Yun said earlier that he had turned against Patriarch Qingshan because of Jing Jiu, and subconsciously began to get nervous and troubled.

Shen Yunbu looked at everyone's faces, and said with a sneer: I took such a big risk to pick you up because I want you to do something!

Everyone is a smart person, and they all guessed what to do like Yuan Qu.

Que Niang acted like a general on a chessboard, and asked, Say it directly.

Tong Yan briefly explained the current situation, saying that Jing Jiu had been missing for many days, and he decided to launch a surprise attack on Patriarch Qingshan.

It's just that I can't beat the opponent in a fight, so I have no choice but to come back and find some helpers. Su Ziye said.

Yuan Qu said without hesitation: Our realm is not strong enough, and we can only ascend due to the blessing of the Tongtian Formation. I will cheer for you then.

Su Ziye continued: This is an internal problem of your Qingshan Sect. I'm an outsider, so I can't intervene?

Que Niang thought for a while and said, I have to find Master first, what if you lie to us?

Shen Yun buried his innocence to the extreme, and said: Even if you can't trust me, can't you still trust Tong Yan?

Que Niang glanced at Tong Yan and smiled a little embarrassedly.

You must know that Tong Yan is also one of her teachers in chess, but because of this, she knows how dirty his heart is than anyone else.

Shen Yunbu said angrily: Is it too much? I risked my life to get you out, but none of them refused to fight? Then you pay me the ticket money first!

Peng Lang was also a little embarrassed, and said to Tong Yan: I have to meet the real person first, if he wants me to fight, I will.

You are the legendary Peng Lang? Jing Jiu said that your talent is not inferior to mine. How can you be so unclear?

Shen Yun buried his anger and said in despair: He was forced by my old man to dare not see anyone, so we beat the old man and rescued him. In the end, you didn't help us beat the old man until you found him. Don't you think this is a three-in-a-row robbery? How to solve it? Where is your IQ?

At this time, Tong Yan, who had been silent all this time, said: The time window is up, I will open the door number three on the front right, and get ready.

Accompanied by his voice, the gray-black board covered on the surface of the battleship slowly tilted up, and the bright light from the outside could be faintly seen.

Along with the light from the stars entering the battleship, there are also ubiquitous signal waves.

As long as you can see, you will be seen, such as the overused you and the abyss, him and Qingshan or something.

Shen Yunbu would never make such a mistake, and immediately activated the gravitational field generating device - the black battleship was close to the star at this time, most of the directions were blocked, and with the gravitational field, there was no need to worry about being discovered - so they also failed to see the picture on the moon-watching planet.

...

...

(Suddenly wanted to chat, so I wrote a few sentences, but found that my chatterbox was worse than Shen Yunbu’s, and I exceeded the word count. You need to spend more time... It probably means that I went to Jiangnan for a drive yesterday, and I feel good. I like Yichang, but I also miss Daqing. I like writing novels. You read them. I will continue to write novels in the future. Thank you and the like.
