Forced Marriage [Cultivation]

Soon Gu Baitang found out the information of the chef in charge of the imperial dining room.

According to the records above, this master chef was originally named Mi Le, a native of Jinzhou in the Central Plains.It was Xicheng where the previous head teacher Huo Yan joined in his last year, which was about 400 years ago.At that time, he worshiped under Zhou Hui's sect, one of the three masters of Fu Mo Tang, Tu Linggen, and now he is at the middle stage of Yuan Ying.

According to this qualification, in the 120 eight palaces in the west city, no matter what, you can go to any palace to be an elder at will.Those disciples in the same age group, just like Yan Zetian Zuo Anqiu and others, are now the chief elders of various palace sects, occupying high positions, so majestic.

However, when Mi Le was 150 years old, he was one of the eighteen demon disciples of Fu Mo Tang, but suddenly transferred from Fu Mo Tang to Si Wu Yuan, and then became a naturalized in the imperial dining room.

Is it normal that a highly qualified disciple of Fu Mo Tang is willing to hide his name and only serve as a master chef in the Imperial Dining Room of the Si Wu Yuan?Obviously not normal.

One more thing, the disciples of the various palaces in the West City are self-contained, and it is not easy to transfer a prestigious disciple of Conquering Demons from Fumotang to the Imperial Dining Room of the Siwuyuan.It can be said that this is impossible, no elder has such rights, not even the head teacher.

Do not……

Gu Baitang's eyebrows twitched, there is one person who can do it.

Oyado.

Just like transferring him, the Chief Disciple of the Law Enforcement Palace, to the Imperial Dining Room of the Siwu Yuan as a miscellaneous disciple, Yusu absolutely has the right to transfer Mi Le at that time from Fu Mo Tang to the Imperial Dining Room.

But why?

Gu Baitang's heart jumped suddenly, he felt that he had touched the key clue.

Mi Le, Yu Ju, the secrets of himself.

There must be a connection between the three.

The red candles in the Yan Ming Hall were burned out, and the two sisters went around the hall to change the candles, then returned to their seats, continued to read the materials, and recorded the disciples with golden water spirit roots on the white paper.

Gu Baitang sat on the high seat, studied Na Mi Le's file carefully, and frowned.

There was one thing that puzzled him.

Mi Le's master, Zhou Hui, one of the three venerables of Fu Mo Tang, is a very famous figure in the history of Xicheng for nearly a thousand years.The age is only 800 years, the Mahayana cultivation base, and the venerable demon master.Ascension to the spiritual world 300 years ago, shining in the annals of history, is the honor and pride of Xicheng.

The name of this person's cultivation is far higher than that of today's Yuju.

It stands to reason that Mi Le, as Zhou Hui's disciple, shouldn't be in the current situation no matter what?

Why did he suddenly transfer from Fumotang to the Imperial Dining Room of Siwuyuan 300 years ago?

Wait, 300 years ago...

Gu Baitang's eyes flashed, he patted the chopping board, and stood up abruptly: "Where is the dossier of Fu Motang?"

The hall was originally silent, only the sound of pens being written and books being turned.With his strike, both sisters were startled.

"Fu, Fu Motang?" Yan Yaoshui flipped through the documents in her hand in a panic, and then looked at the other one.

"Here I am." Yan Qishui raised her head, picked up the heavy file that was spread on the low table, and handed it over.

Gu Baitang scanned the other items on the filing table, spread the dossier on the table, and quickly found the biography of Zhou Hui, the venerable demon master, according to the catalogue.

Zhou Hui, a person from the Northern Kingdom, Huo Yan entered Xicheng in his middle age, and was a disciple of a grand master in Fumotang.Feng Linggen breaks through the golden elixir stage at the age of 30, the Nascent Soul stage at the age of [-], the transformation stage at the age of [-], the Mahayana stage at the age of [-], ascends to the spirit world at the age of [-], and goes straight to the fairy world!

Hey, this qualification is really unprecedented and appalling. In 800 years, ordinary monks only had a Nascent Soul stage at most, and they couldn't even touch the door of the spirit world.However, it took Zhou Hui 800 years to go from being a human to being a fairy. What an unparalleled genius is this?

Looking at Zhou Hui's information introduction, for a moment Gu Baitang really doubted whether the information was compiled by the people in Xicheng himself?Is Zhou Hui really that powerful?Is there really such a person as Zhou Hui?If it wasn't for Zhou Hui's statue still standing in the hall of Fu Mo Tang, Gu Baitang would really suspect that he was reading a playbook.

Looking at the time recorded above for Zhou Hui's ascension in the daylight, it was exactly 300 years ago.Gu Baitang looked serious, he guessed right, one month after Zhou Hui ascended in the daylight, Mi Le suddenly transferred from Fumotang to the imperial dining room.

According to the dossier, Zhou Hui stopped recruiting apprentices after the Mahayana stage.In other words, Mi Le was Zhou Hui's only disciple before he left.That being the case, Mi Le must have won Zhou Hui's trust and reliance.

Then why did Mi Le leave Fumotang when Zhou Hui ascended?What's the secret here?

From another point of view, Mi Le, who was once the closest person to the "peak" of the cultivation world, suddenly hid in the imperial dining room under his name. Is this related to being Zhou Hui's only disciple before his ascension?

Looking through all the records of Fu Motang, there are only a handful of records about Zhou Hui.Arguably, it shouldn't be.Zhou Hui is the honor and symbol of Xicheng, and he is a character who should be rich and colorful.

But not only that, Zhou Hui's well-known name and reputation are spread throughout the cultivation world.There are people extolling Zhou Hui's legendary story almost everywhere, but there are only a few words about it in the west city where Zhou Hui was born as a teacher.

Is this normal?unusual.

It's like someone did it on purpose.

Gu Baitang has an intuition that perhaps the root of all these secrets lies in this unrivaled wizard "Zhou Hui, the Venerable Demon Emperor".

The candles in the hall were burned out, and the sky was slightly bright.

The two sisters, who had been busy all night, were taking a nap on the table at the moment. The floor was covered with piles of white paper with various names and information written on it.

Gu Baitang closed the file, rubbed his eyes, and turned his gaze around.

There was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, and a moment later, Zhuo Xinian's figure appeared at the bottom of the steps.

"Brother Gu?" Zhuo Xinian seemed to be relieved to see him, but also a little surprised.As he walked in and got himself a cup of tea, he asked, "Why, you were finally released?"

"Release?" Gu Baitang frowned slightly, he was very dissatisfied with this statement.

"That's right, it's said that because you hurt your sister Hua, Elder Yusu shut you up in front of the wall of Avonzhai and thought about it. I haven't seen you for a long time. Everyone said that." Zhuo Xinian said with a smile.

Gu Baitang nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Brother Zhuo, if I am still thinking about my mistakes in Avon Zhai, and the elder on duty found out that Yan Mingtang has no chief disciples in command last night, I'm afraid it would be bad?"

Obviously, it was time to come to change shifts, but it was late at Maoshi.There was a gap of three hours in the middle, if Yan Mingtang reported a major event, Zhuo Xinian would definitely be held accountable.He came in a hurry, but found that Gu Baitang was sitting here, so he was instantly relieved.

"Hey." Zhuo Xinian smiled in a low voice, glanced at the sleeping Yan Qishui and Yan Yaoshui sisters, leaned over and said in a low voice: "Brother Gu, you have to keep this matter a secret for me."

Gu Baitang stood up, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in your private life. Since you're here, I have to go."

Said that the person has walked to the middle hall.Zhuo Xinian asked him: "Huh? Brother Gu has just been released from Avon Zhai. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Where are you going now? Hey! Do you know something happened in the city?"

Gu Baitang paused and turned sideways: "You are talking about the theft of the Blue Sea Pearl? I was in Avonzhai two days ago and noticed that the blue light had disappeared, but no one came to report it. I thought it was nothing serious."

If it was true that the Blue Ocean Pearl was stolen, it would have been two days ago.

"Although the Pearl of the Blue Ocean has escaped from the Law Enforcement Tower, it is still in the West City. Master means to investigate with all his strength. Elder Yusu is still in retreat, and he will report it when the matter becomes clear." Zhuo Xinian looked serious, "Master This incident was outraged. The Blue Sea Pearl has been placed in the Law Enforcement Tower of the Law Enforcement Palace, guarded by the most sophisticated protection measures and the most rigorous law enforcement disciples. Since the Middle Ages, it has been stored here for hundreds of thousands of years and has been safe. This time, it was actually our own disciple in the city..."

Gu Baitang nodded, "I heard that he is a mid-stage disciple of the golden core of the spiritual root of the "Golden Water Variation Thunder".Are you sure that Blue Sea Pearl is still in Xicheng at this moment? "

"Definitely. As soon as Lan Haimingzhu disappeared from the Law Enforcement Tower, he activated the "Water, Land and Air Total City Control" defense system. So far, not to mention a living person, not even a bird can escape from the West City. "Zhuo Xinian frowned, full of sorrow: "However, this person has great supernatural powers, he is not an ordinary disciple, and his background may involve the underworld. "

"Underworld?" Gu Baitang frowned, this time he was really shocked.In today's world view of the comprehension world, the underworld is just like the spirit world, a word that only appears in myths and legends.But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just as Zhou Hui from Xicheng ascended to the spirit world in the past thousand years, there are also various signs that people from the underworld come and go in the realm of comprehension.

Zhuo Xinian said: "After the Blue Ocean Pearl disappeared, the "City Forbidden" system showed signs that the "Dark River" was open.However, because the latest "City Forbidden" system issued by the All-World Cultivation Alliance has cooperated with the underworld to include "Dark River", this prevents the other party from escaping in time. "

The dark river is a hidden river between the cultivation world and the underworld. Through the dark river, you can quickly reach any place.However, the dark river is a special passage for people in the underworld, and people who are not in the dark river cannot find the way.

"Could it be a ghost cultivator?" Gu Baitang suddenly remembered the ghost cultivator who always followed the little head teacher before, but it seemed that after the little head teacher entered the Yunding sect, that ghost cultivator also left.

Zhuo Xinian shook his head, "There is a "Devil Demon Formation" on the Law Enforcement Tower, whether it is a ghost or a demon, once it enters, it will touch the formation and cause karma to burn.But after the incident, the "Devil Demon Formation" was safe and sound, but the "Bright Flame" was activated.This proves that this person can only be an extremely rare Lei Lingen attribute monk, and that this person is familiar with the fortresses of the Law Enforcement Palace. The elders unanimously concluded that this person is definitely an insider in the West City. "

After pondering for a moment, Gu Baitang said: "In that case, Brother Lao Zhuo will continue to investigate. I still have something to do, so I will come to you at night."

Gu Baitang actually went to sleep, and the whole city is currently under martial law. As long as Lan Haimingzhu is still in the city, he will be found sooner or later.Right now, what he cares most about in his mind is the secret hidden in himself.From the master master of the spoon to Zhou Hui, the master of the devil, he thought that he had found the key to the problem.But so what?The top-secret information of Venerable Yumo is not easy for him to obtain, but it is said that there is a copy of "Secret History of People in Xicheng" in the Shuxiang Pavilion of Yuding Palace, which records many unknown real information.However, only the head teacher of Xicheng has the right to read in the Shuxiang Pavilion of Jade Cauldron Palace...

Gu Baitang took a nap for two or three hours in the collective dormitory of the Law Enforcement Palace, and made up for the lack of sleep in these 23 days.This sleep lasted until noon. After Gu Baitang got up, after taking a bath, he went to the "Xiaoxueling Pond" to practice intensively.

Where is "Xiao Xue Ling Pond"?It is an ice pool under Congyun Peak. The water in the pool is melted by the thousands of years of ice and snow on the Yunding Sect. Essence and blood flow, improve cultivation.

It is said that there is also a real "Xueling Pond" inside the Yunding Sect. The water in the pool there is the real ice and snow melting for thousands of years. To put it bluntly, its efficacy is not as good as one-tenth of the real "Xue Lingchi".

The real Xueling Pond is located inside the Yunding Sect, which is a place only the previous headmasters can enter, and those who can take a bath in the Xueling Pond are the sinking coffins of the previous headmasters.According to the records, that place, in the Middle Ages, was a holy place where ancestors reincarnated and returned to their positions.

As for the Xiaoxueling Pond under Congyun Peak, it is not something that anyone can come to if they want to.In addition to the elders of the palaces, only the chief disciples have this privilege.

It is the afternoon at this moment, and the elders and chiefs of the palaces are either on duty or in charge, so there is a reason for Gu Baitang to choose this time, because he can enjoy the "Xiaoxue Lingchi" exclusively.He is cold and doesn't like to bathe with others.Strange to say, Gu Baitang never came to "Xiaoxue Lingchi" in the past, but today he came.

Coincidentally, Xiaoxue Lingchi was actually occupied at this time.

The cold air hovers under Congyun Peak all the year round, and it is a holy place for summer vacation.When Gu Baitang stepped into this place, he saw a figure looming in the white mist. Looking at his back, he was slender and tall, a bit like autumn passing water.

"Seventh Uncle?" Gu Baitang shouted standing on the bluestone platform by the bank.

The person in the water paused, then slowly turned around and walked towards him step by step.

Gu Baitang inexplicably felt a chill hit his heart, he frowned slightly, and took half a step back.He immediately realized that not only was this person not Qiu Shishui, but he was probably not from Xicheng either.

"Who is here?" Gu Baitang asked sharply, holding the long sword in his hand.

A chuckle came from the white mist, followed by a soft voice: "Hello, little Baitang, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

Gu Baitang narrowed his eyes slightly, only to see that after the white cold smoke dissipated, the real face of the man finally appeared, but it was a face exactly like him.

"...Gao Mian Liu?!"
