Forced Marriage [Cultivation]

Three years passed in a flash, and in May of this year, nothing major happened in the realm of comprehension, the world was peaceful, and all realms were peaceful.

The West City is still the same West City. Under the governance of Elder Huo, the law enforcement officer, everything in the city is in order, and all the palaces and courtyards are in order, so there is no need to repeat them here.The Pearl of the Blue Sea still hangs the law enforcement tower high, and the turmoil three years ago has not weakened its brilliance.Whenever night comes, it sprinkles the clear light all over the city, almost covering the bright moon in the sky.

Zhuo Xinian of the Law Enforcement Palace had a child two years ago. According to the regulations of Xicheng, he was not allowed to raise children in the city, so Zhuo Xinian voluntarily resigned from his position in the Law Enforcement Palace at that time, and left Xicheng with his family and returned to his hometown of Shu.At that time, the third-party turmoil that was not full of turmoil but had its nose and eyes didn't seem to have any impact on him.

Nominally, the chief disciple of the Law Enforcement Palace is still Gu Baitang, but since he has to do odd jobs in the imperial dining room, and has to go to Afangzhai and Qingxiu Garden for confinement every three days, Ge Changshu is mainly in charge of Yan Mingtang's affairs now. Gu Baitang will not be notified unless something important happens.In the spring of this year, Elder Zuo presided over a chief election meeting within the Law Enforcement Palace, and appointed two chief disciples to assist Ge Changshu, and the other five executive disciples were assigned to take charge of the daily affairs of each courtyard.

This day, Gu Baitang came to Yan Mingtang to see if there was anything wrong, and saw two women in the same shape and appearance sorting out documents in the middle hall.Gu Baitang's memory is not bad, and he remembered that these two people seemed to be new disciples who entered the Law Enforcement Palace three years ago, and they were the family members of Uncle Yan of Fumo Hall.The main people involved in the Gao Mianliu incident back then, Gao Mianliu and Li Qingyi were both detained and locked up in the Demon Palace, while the sisters Yan's Jie were sent to Avonzhai by Qiu Shishui after the incident, where they were rescued by Yusu himself, and at least one of them was recovered. Life.

I remember that the two were arranged to go to the database later, where it was relatively quiet, and their daily tasks were to sort out some historical materials that had accumulated over the years, and there was no one to supervise them.somehow here.

Seeing Gu Baitang walk into the central hall, both of them saluted together, "Eldest brother."

Gu Baitang nodded, "Why are you here?"

"Someone from the service building said this morning that we have been transferred to Yan Mingtang, and we will be on duty here from now on," Sister Yan said.

Yan Mingtang is in charge of the occurrence and handling of various criminal cases. It is the core affairs department of the Law Enforcement Palace and one of the important central institutions in the West City.Therefore, its internal on-duty personnel are very important, almost one in a hundred. The disciples who can report their work in the interior almost all have considerable experience and strong background, and they are often high-qualified disciples who have been in the West City for decades.The Yan sisters were selected to be on duty in Yan Mingtang after only three years in Xicheng. This was extremely rare, and it was enough to show that they had great potential, so they could be valued by the elders in charge above.

Gu Baitang was slightly surprised, but he didn't show too much.He sat for a while at the desk.All the cases have been classified and all have been handled by Ge Changshu.All branches under Yan Mingtang are handled by other chief or standing disciples, everything is in order, as if there is nothing wrong with him.

It was said that in the past, he was not only the chief disciple of the Law Enforcement Palace, but even among the tens of thousands of disciples in the entire West City, as long as the name Gu Baitang was mentioned, he could intimidate a large number of people.Very imposing.

But now, since he lost his memory, everything seems to have changed.Not to mention other places in the city, his presence in the Law Enforcement Palace has become increasingly low in the past three years.

Instead of becoming leisurely because of this, Gu Baitang became more and more busy, and he was busy with such trivial matters as chopping firewood and carrying water to mediate the disputes between the group of uncles and aunts in the imperial dining room.

However, Gu Baitang didn't care much about these things, his mind was always elsewhere.For the past three years, Gu Baitang has been secretly investigating Zhou Hui, the venerable demon master, and has made some progress.

According to the gossiping uncles and aunts in the imperial dining room who occasionally mentioned in private, Zhou Hui, the venerable demon master, is not as glorious and stalwart as he has been in history.The reason why Mi Le ran from one of the eighteen disciples of Fu Motang to become a master chef in the imperial dining room was that Zhou Hui had abnormal behavior and character and was not qualified to be a master.As for what is wrong with those behaviors?The answers that Gu Baitang got were very unreliable: some said that although Zhou Hui married Princess Huangxi of Changle, he was messing around with other disciples in private, and he was a male disciple; Deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors.

For these statements, Gu Baitang felt that one was more unreliable than the other, and they all sounded like fantasy.However, there is always some basis for the rumors to come out of nowhere, and there are always some grounds.

Sure enough, recently Gu Baitang found out a more reliable thing.Regarding his amnesia back then, Yuju explained at the time that he was assassinated and hurt his brain while performing a mission.For three years, Gu Baitang has been investigating exactly what mission he was performing back then.Regarding the mission of their mission to Changle that year, the information book of the Ministry of Affairs only records that it was a mission to Changle, which was an ordinary mission of friendship between the two places.However, Gu Baitang later learned that there were all sorts of unimaginable clues in such an ordinary mission.

The manning staff for that mission was led by Elder Yan from Fumotang. Generally, it is not very likely to send Fumotang personnel on such ordinary missions.However, apart from Elder Yan, the chief elder of Fu Mo Tang, there are also two chief disciples of Fu Mo Tang, Qin Zun and Lu Jiuyou.Secondly, there are two disciples from the master of ceremonies, who are good at setting up formations and evoking spirits; Jiang Suxing and Chu Wan in Yuding Palace, Chu Wan is nothing special, but there is a spiritual practitioner with him, which is rumored to be related to Changle; as for Jiang Suxing, It is said that he is very good at asking spirits; there are also two disciples of Law Enforcement Palace, Zhu Bishi on Tianzhu Peak, and Gu Baitang himself.

It is not difficult to find clues to these personnel if they study carefully; what is even more suspicious is that after returning to the west city for such a simple task, the whereabouts of these people are very strange, even unimaginable.

In this mission, Elder Yan's inner alchemy was destroyed, and he has been practicing in seclusion in Fumotang since then, and will not show it to others;

Qin Zun was sent to the Royal Demon Realm to carry out a secret mission, while Lu Jiuyou went to the Central Plains Liu's family as a guest lecturer, and neither of them returned for three years;

After returning to the city, the two disciples of the Master of Ceremonies were transferred to the Nine Star Pagoda to calculate the weekly astrology, and that place only had a holiday once every ten years;

Chu Wan from Jade Cauldron Palace and Lingxiu named Xiaoya practiced on Tianzhu Peak. Gu Baitang also went to Tianzhu Peak to look for them in the past three years, but due to various reasons, they never met each other; as for Jiang Suxing, This person is in retreat at the Yunding Sect, and when he comes out again, he doesn't know how many hundreds of years later;

Let’s talk about the two disciples of the Law Enforcement Palace, Gu Baitang himself lost his memory and can’t remember anything, while Zhu Bishi committed some crime and was imprisoned in the Demon Palace, and Gu Baitang has no right to visit and interrogate.

All the disciples who participated in the trip to Changle back then, the distant sect of the distant sect, the hermit of the hermit, the amnesia of the amnesia, and the imprisoned.

Is all this just a coincidence?No, it's impossible.

Relying on Gu Baitang's keen intuition, he believed that the mission they sent to Changle three years ago must have something to do with Zhou Hui.

Zhou Hui's wife, Huang Xi, is the princess of Changle. According to records, on the day Zhou Hui ascended, his wife also ascended with him.But later, people from Changle brought paper money to pay homage to the Jiange at Tianzhu Peak every once in a while, making people doubt Huang Xi's real whereabouts back then.There is a guess that Huang Xi died on Tianzhu Peak back then.

Where does Princess Huangxi's soul go?Why is there no detail in the record?

Zhou Hui, as one of the three statues of Fu Mo Tang, a symbol of honor in the history of Xicheng, what kind of existence is it really?

Why did Mi Le run from Fumotang to the Imperial Dining Room?Is it really because of fear of his master Zhou Hui as in the legend?

Why is Mi Le afraid of Gu Baitang? Could it be that Gu Baitang has something to do with Zhou Hui?

……

Gu Baitang's mind became more and more chaotic and tangled.No matter how hard he could think of a result, he thought about going outside to relax.Walking outside Yan Mingtang, I met Wu Shengjie. When Gu Baitang was wondering what he was doing here, he only heard Wu Shengjie say: "Brother Gu, you are indeed here. Come with me, Master is looking for you everywhere."

"Why is Uncle Qi looking for me everywhere?" Gu Baitang asked in confusion.

"He said he was going to see a prisoner in Suomo Palace. He didn't want to go to the elders of Suomo Palace, so he wanted you to go."

As soon as Gu Baitang heard it, he understood that Qiu Shishui wanted to see Gao Mianliu, and he didn't want to deal with the high-level elders of Suomo Palace, so he wanted to use Gu Baitang's right as a law enforcement disciple to arraign Gao Mianliu.

He nodded, "Let's go then."

For the past three years, Qiu Shishui still gave lectures in the Bodhidharma Hall, and occasionally he would go to Suomo Palace to see Gao Mianliu.Compared with other prisoners, Gao Mianliu's life is the most comfortable.There are not only high beds and soft pillows, but also music, chess, calligraphy and painting to cultivate sentiments, and autumn passing water to send fine wine and food from time to time.

"Look at your uncle, you don't let anyone go to jail, so that other prisoners will crowd out me." Gao Mianliu was reclining on the reclining chair, her long hair was curly like a waterfall, her posture was lazy and charming.

Gu Baitang stood at the door, not looking directly at him.Qiu Shishui poured the wine, "How did I hear that you are still here for the storytelling meeting? You are very popular and have a lot of followers, but I have never heard of anyone pushing you out."

"Hey." Gao Mianliu smiled slyly, and said again: "I heard that Xiao Baitang has a lot of followers, and even your little teacher in Xicheng once forced him to marry..."

"What forced marriage? It's just a child's ignorance. It's just a joke." Qiu Shishui frowned and said, obviously he didn't like others to make fun of it.When it comes to Gu Baitang's matter, he seems to have returned to the serious and dissatisfied elder in the past.

Gao Mianliu was open-minded, and persuaded: "You are too rigid, what's wrong with the young man falling in love. Besides, they are still childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, what a good marriage. The family members on both sides of the family don't object, what are you doing?" I'm going to beat the mandarin ducks and meddle in my own business."

Hearing this, Qiu Shishui put down the wine glass that he had originally held, and said sharply: "What good marriage? The Jiang family members are withered, and Jiang Suxing doesn't think about making progress all day long, and now he is the head teacher of Xicheng. There is no harm but no benefit. As for Baitang, who has been raised by my side since he was seven years old, I have the responsibility to teach him to become a man. He should walk the road, follow the right path, be upright, and rely on his own ability and ability, step by step." Gao Mianliu His persuasion not only failed to enlighten Qiu Shishui, but made him more persistent and stubborn.He even sarcastically said: "It is not a good thing to say that there is a kind of person who can reach the sky in one step by relying on the bad luck of his ancestors. If he lacks ability and stands too high, he will lose his waist sooner or later."

When I heard this, I was talking about Jiang Suxing.Gu Baitang didn't say a word, thinking that his uncle seemed to have a big prejudice against the little head teacher.

Gao Mianliu chuckled and spilled all the wine.He smiled and said: "I can tell. In the eyes of Elder Qiu, I, like Jiang Suxing, belong to the kind of person who is not capable enough to reach the sky. Now that I have lost my waist, I am in trouble. This is the reward of the world. Right?"

"You are different from him." Qiu Shishui frowned, and his attitude was gentler.

Gao Mianliu waved her hands and shook her head, and said, "No, you don't need to explain this, I know who I am very clearly. Hey, but I don't think you need to have such a big opinion on Jiang Suxing now, whether you want to or not Whether you want to admit it or not, after all, he is the head teacher of your West City. What's more, he is already in the Yunding Sect, and he will not be able to get out in three to five hundred years. You are old, calm down."

Qiu Shishui nodded, and his complexion finally improved: "In three to five hundred years, they didn't have such a deep relationship, it should have faded away."

Gu Baitang at the door looked at his nose, nose, and heart, his face seemed to be upright, without any disturbance.
