I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

Although there were more than [-] guards escorting her, for safety reasons, Gu Ming ordered Snake Princess to go with her to avoid any accidents.

After all, these guards have no problem dealing with bandits, and they can deal with some little monsters and ghosts, but they are afraid of encountering some big monsters.

With the Enchantress around, there is almost nothing to worry about.

As soon as the prince and his party left, Gu Ming and his wife started a new round of busy work.

In the past, he had to deal with the official people, but now, a group of old classmates and old friends, as well as a group of squires from Guobei County came to visit one after another, and they had to socialize.

This time when he returned to his hometown, Gu Ming finally didn't have to live in that small courtyard anymore, but moved to Zhuangyuan Mansion.

Although the Zhuangyuan Mansion has not been completely completed, there are only a few sporadic and small tasks left, which do not affect the residence.

There is no need to worry about servants, Gu Ming returned home this time, and brought back Xiaoyuan and Xiaoling, as well as a few maids who performed well in the Marquis Mansion before.

At the same time, Nie Hongshu has also found a group of servants in advance, including bearers, coachmen, grooms, servants, and maids, which can be regarded as fulfilling the responsibilities and obligations of Lord Taishan.

After continuing to socialize for a few days, Gu Ming finally had some free time, so he took his wife to the academy that was still under construction for an on-site inspection.

According to the original plan, there will be half a year to complete the construction here.

But now there is another problem: Montenegro has become Gu Ming's fiefdom, so the scale must be expanded.

The couple wandered around the construction site first, and then walked into Montenegro.

"Gu Lang, it's been two or three years, and Montenegro still looks a bit desolate, and it doesn't feel much vitality."

Looking at the surrounding environment, Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help but say something.

"Yes!" Gu Ming sighed: "After all, the old black mountain demon has been here for too long, and it may take decades to restore the green mountains and green waters."

"Decades"

Nie Xiaoqian muttered to herself.

Then, he frowned: "By the way, Gu Lang, don't you have spiritual veins and spiritual springs in your space magic weapon? If you say that you put spiritual veins and spiritual springs in Black Mountain, then maybe you can restore it to life in a short time .”

Gu Ming vetoed it on the spot: "No, the spiritual veins and spiritual springs in the magic weapon must not be moved."

"They didn't say to activate the spiritual veins in the magic weapon."

"Oh? What do you mean to say, to find the spiritual pulse and the spiritual spring?"

"Yes, since the owner of this magic weapon can be found, it means that there is such a thing in the world."

It is really a word that awakens the dreamer.

Gu Ming immediately held his wife's face and babbled a few times: "Hahaha, madam is really too smart."

Nie Xiaoqian blushed and wiped the saliva off her face, and said angrily, "You're such a grown-up, why are you still acting like a child?"

"Could it be that you like me to become an old master?"

The couple joked a few words, and then, Gu Ming took Nie Xiaoqian's hand and walked towards Lanruo Temple.

"Haha, Young Master Gu, long time no see"

Shifang greeted him with a haha.

"Shifang, how is your practice recently?"

"not bad"

"By the way, isn't your master in the temple?"

"He went to do a ritual for someone, and he might be back after noon. Or, you guys are here to make do with a fast meal?"

"Well, that's fine too."

At present, Lanruo Temple has returned to normal, and pilgrims often come to offer incense and fulfill their vows.

The two masters and apprentices were too busy, so more than a dozen monks were added to the temple, and some believers also lived here for many years to help take care of it.

Not long after lunch, Master Baiyun really came back.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Gu Ming finally started to ask about the spiritual vein.

"Master Baiyun, you have practiced for many years, have you ever heard of where there may be spiritual veins, spiritual springs and so on?"

"Lingmai Lingquan? Could it be that Mr. Gu wants to use it to transform Montenegro?"

Master Baiyun guessed Gu Ming's intention at once.

"That's right!" Gu Ming nodded with a smile: "Otherwise, it may take decades for Montenegro to slowly recover its vitality."

"Well, it is true." Master Baiyun replied, and pondered for a moment: "If you want to talk about the spiritual veins and spiritual springs, I dare not talk about them in other places, but there must be ones in the Kunlun Mountains."

"Kunlun Mountains?"

"That's right, Kunlun has been regarded as a fairy mountain since ancient times, and there are many mysterious places in it, even people with advanced Taoism cannot find out its whole picture.

By the way, Zhiqiu is a disciple of Kunlun, you can ask him about this matter. "

"That's right." Gu Ming patted his forehead: "Why did you forget him, Shifang, where is Zhiqiu recently?"

"It's not sure, but I can send him a message and ask him to come to Guobei County."

"Okay, then please take care of me."

"It's just a small matter, Mr. Gu doesn't need to be too polite."

A few days later, Zhiqiu rushed to Guobei County immediately after receiving the summons.

I haven't seen each other for a long time, so I naturally want to have a good drink first.

Shifang also took this opportunity to accompany him and drank happily.

When he was almost drunk, Gu Ming just asked about the Lingmai and Lingquan.

"Zhiqiu, you are a Kunlun disciple, so you should be familiar with Kunlun Mountain. Do you know where there may be spiritual veins or spiritual springs?"

"It's hard to say." Zhiqiu shook his head: "Whether it's a spiritual vein or a spiritual spring, it can be said that it can be met but not sought.

To tell you the truth, Brother Gu, there is a spiritual vein at the foot of our Kunlun School, which is also the foundation of our Kunlun School.

My master also said that in ancient times, all major sects would choose places with spiritual veins to establish their sects in order to ensure the prosperity of the sect.

It's a pity that with the passage of time, the spiritual energy between the heaven and the earth is getting thinner and thinner, and the spiritual vein is rare to see in a thousand years

However, if Brother Gu really wants to find the spiritual pulse, there must be one deep in Kunlun Mountain."

Gu Ming cheered up: "Oh? Could it be that Brother Zhiqiu has some clues?"

"There are no clues, but Kunlun Mountain is boundless, especially in the depths of Kunlun, even the elders of our Kunlun sect dare not step into it easily.

My master also said that the depths of Kunlun Mountain are the closest to ancient times, and no one can tell what secrets are hidden inside.

That being the case, then there must be natural treasures such as spiritual veins and spiritual springs inside.

It's just that it is not easy to go deep into Kunlun, and the risk is extremely high."

Hearing Zhiqiu's detailed explanation about Kunlun Mountain, Gu Ming just knew that the folk legends about Kunlun, or the records in some ancient books are not just legends.

The folks regard Kunlun Mountain as a fairy mountain, saying that it is the place where gods live.For example, Yaochi, it is said that it used to be the Dojo of the Queen Mother.

According to ancient books, Kunlun Mountain is actually a very special place, called the Kunlun Realm.

Although it is not a complete world, it is independent of the Three Realms. It can also be said that it is actually a place that connects the three realms of heaven, earth and man.

It is precisely because of its particularity that no one can tell what kind of danger will be encountered inside.

Maybe, there are still hidden ancient monsters and big demons in the depths.

Therefore, there have been various mysterious legends circulating in the folk and in the rivers and lakes.

Chapter 288 Promotion: Yasheng!

After learning about the situation in Kunlun Mountain, Gu Ming decided to temporarily put aside his plan to find the spiritual pulse and the spiritual spring.

After all, this is not something that is urgently needed, there is no need to take risks, and it is not too late to look for it when there is a chance in the future.

The following days will be much more leisurely.

If you have nothing to do, write, read a book, recite a few poems, accompany your wife, drink some wine, or travel around the mountains and rivers, and get rid of evil spirits along the way to earn points.

In short, the small life is very carefree.

Not long after, the new book Jin Ping Mei was officially released, which caused a huge sensation all over the country.

Firstly, it was because of Gu Ming's fame.

It is no exaggeration to say that Gu Ming has now become a legend in the Great Yan Dynasty, as if there is nothing he does not know.

Not to mention subduing demons and catching ghosts, nor the honor of becoming a cabinet bachelor and first-class hereditary brocade in just a few years.

Just talking about his achievements in poetry, words, calligraphy, and painting, he has already stood at the pinnacle.

Poetry is already the best, no one can match.

In terms of calligraphy and painting, although I dare not say that the ancient times are outstanding, at least in the present, all the masters of calligraphy and Danqing have to bow down.

Because of this, Gu Ming was hailed as the most talented man in the world.

Second, what Gu Ming wrote has always been controversial, and this time is no exception.

However, because of their great fame and their current status, no one confronted them like they did before, and they only offered some veiled opinions.

However, the more controversial it is, the more people buy it and the more people watch it.

Thirdly, there are more than [-] exquisite illustrations in the pages of the Jin Ping Mei sold this time, that is, the portraits of several heroines such as Pan Jinlian.

These paintings were drawn by Gu Ming himself. The paintings of the heroines are very vivid, fully showing their charm in various scenes and moods, and accompanied by poems.

As a result, this book has added a lot of color, triggering a wave of panic buying.

Because of this, some unscrupulous businessmen were jealous, and began to pirate in private, hoping to make a fortune by taking advantage of this limelight.

But they never expected that this time they would fall headlong into it.

As soon as the pirated version of Jin Ping Mei appeared on the market, the local governments took action after hearing the news and began to follow the vines. Anyone who participated in it would be arrested.

That is to say, no one can get away, whether it is a stall selling, or an illegal bookseller behind the scenes, or a printing workshop.

At the same time, the imperial court officially promulgated a new law: Copyright Law.

According to the terms of the law, it is illegal to embezzle or print other people's chapters, poems, calligraphy and paintings, etc. for profit. If the circumstances are minor, they will be fined and detained for money, and in severe cases, they will be exiled or even beheaded.

In this way, many unscrupulous booksellers have restrained themselves a lot.

After that, Gu Ming entered a period of relative silence.

During this period, two small collections were published, one collection of poems and one collection of words.

It wasn't until the compilation of the Yongping Canon was completed that he made his public appearance and went to the capital to gather with Emperor Yongping, the main editors of the Yongping Canon, and the ministers of the court and China, and held a grand celebration banquet.

On that day, there was another vision in the sky, surrounded by auspicious clouds and fluttering with fairy music.Hundreds of flowers bloom in the city, and thousands of bells ring together.

All the ministers were very excited, and they all stood up to congratulate the emperor, saying that this was a good omen, indicating that the Great Yan Dynasty would further advance towards glory.

In addition, some ministers said that Emperor Yongping was a generation of Mingjun, whose merits will last for thousands of years, so he should go to Mount Tai to hold the ceremony of enshrining Zen.

Mount Tai's Zen Conferring Ceremony is a grand ceremony of the country, but all those who have held the Zen Conferring Ceremony in history are all emperors of a generation who are famous in history.

The most famous ones are Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi.

Feng Chan is no child's play, it is a grand ceremony to worship heaven and earth, even the emperor dare not say Feng Chan as he pleases.

Unless there are quite outstanding achievements.

In fact, Emperor Yongping always dreamed about this day.

It's just that he didn't dare to do it before, and even if he proposed it, he would definitely be strongly opposed by the officials.

Now, the time is finally ripe.

After some discussion, the matter of the Fengchan Grand Ceremony was finally settled, and the date was set on the ninth day of September, about three months away.

Almost a month later, Gu Ming once again ushered in the moment of transformation:
