[Liao Zhai] I live in Lanruo Temple

Gu Xichao is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, astronomy and geography, yin and yang and five elements, Qimen gossip, Wentao and martial arts.

For such an amazing and talented person, Huang Yaoshi is the number one, and Gu Xichao is the second.

But different from Huang Yaoshi's desire to avoid the world, Gu Xichao had the ambition to be a success since he was a child, and he was determined to obtain fame and serve the country.

At a young age, he easily obtained the fame of Tanhua in his first scientific examination.However, because he was the son of a daughter-in-law and his father was unknown, he was dismissed by the court, making him study hard for ten years and turned into nothingness.

Although Gu Xichao felt grief and indignation, he did not give up his ideals easily because of this.

Unable to succeed in the literary career, he took the martial arts and traveled all the way to the frontier to join the army.

However, treacherous officials in the current court are in power, and corruption is rife.Even in the remote border areas far away from Bianjing, the military officers are also intriguing and robbing each other for credit.

The high officials bullied the small ones, no matter how much Gu Xichao achieved on the battlefield, he was still making wedding dresses for others, unable to get ahead.

Knowing the face of the border military officer, Gu Xichao left the barracks, retreated and wrote the military book "Seven Strategies" painstakingly, looking for officials and generals all over the world to recommend themselves.

It's a pity that no one appreciates it. Gu Xichao has been rejected repeatedly and has become the laughing stock of the powerful.

"This official has been sitting in the Ministry of War for more than ten years, and I dare not say that I can write military books. With your lowly status, you dare to say that you have written military books? Do you really think that you are a military sage and a martial sage?"

Gu Xichao stopped the official sedan chair of the minister of the Ministry of War to recommend himself, but the other party didn't even look at it, and threw it on the ground like garbage, with a face full of disgust and ridicule.

All directions were surrounded by people watching the excitement, most of them laughed and pointed at Gu Xichao.

Gu Xichao clenched his fists, swallowed the bitterness, and bent over to pick up his painstaking "Seven Strategies".

The money in my pocket was almost gone, so I had to find a bustling street market in the afternoon.Tomorrow, he will go to another official to recommend himself. He believes that there must be someone in the world who can appreciate his talent.

With such thoughts in mind, Gu Xichao turned around amidst the laughter of the crowd.

However, at this moment, a jaw-dropping scene appeared.

The white clouds scattered sparsely above the blue sky were gathered together by an unknown force, forming a huge cloud lotus flower, floating in the sky above Bianjing City.

Sensing the instant dimming of the light on the ground, Gu Xichao, Minister of the Ministry of War, and the onlookers subconsciously looked up at the sky.

Before the crowd had time to marvel at the huge cloud lotus in the sky, they saw a lavender light spreading from the depths of the lotus heart to each petal.

After a few breaths, Yunlian has turned purple into smoke.

Below it, much of the west of Bianjing was also tinted a faint purple.

But at this moment, all ministries of the imperial court, even the emperor Zhao Ji, who was in the imperial city, had been startled by the vision, and ran out to watch one after another. Some sent their subordinates to investigate the vision center, but most couldn't help Bring your subordinates to find out in person.

"This, this... Yunlian Ziguang, a sign of great auspiciousness! God bless Da Song!"

The Minister of War breathed faster, his adrenal hormones rose, and he stumbled when speaking.Everyone around him had the same thoughts as him, and even their expressions were exactly the same excited.

"I heard that there is a young man surnamed Gu in the mortal world who is skilled at chess and has the qualifications of a chess master. I am here for a while."

Before they could finish their excitement, an ethereal male voice pierced the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of Yoyo deer croaking came, and a figure riding a white deer landed on Yunlian in the distance.

The crowd suddenly exploded, making all kinds of envious and jealous sounds.

"Immortal! It's an immortal!"

"The fairy has descended to earth!"

"Who is the young man with the surname Gu? He actually alarmed the immortal to meet Xia Fan!"

"Who is surnamed Gu?"

"I, me, me! It's a pity that I'm almost middle-aged, and I don't know how to play chess at all, otherwise I should be the one who is lucky enough to meet the immortal today!"

"Bah! Shameless! What the immortal is talking about must be a son of a noble family! How dare you, a vulgar and mediocre person?"

From the corner of his eye, Shangshu of the Ministry of War caught a glimpse of Gu Xichao's figure, sneered with the corner of his mouth pulled, and stomped on his foot again. "Coincidentally, your surname is also Gu. It's a pity that you come from a lowly background. Don't stain the eyes of a fairy."

Gu Xichao didn't say a word, turned a blind eye to it, and could only see the noble and noble existence of Tianji in his eyes.

Moreover, what happened next severely slapped Shangshu of the Ministry of War in the face.

It also made him regret for half his life, and his heart ached to cry.

The soft eyes of the "immortal" fell on Gu Xichao, and he waved slowly with a faint smile. Gu Xichao, who had been spurned by the minister of the Ministry of War for many times, jumped into the sky, and a white cloud appeared out of thin air, carrying him to the cloud lotus.

The ironic smile of Minister of Military Affairs froze on his face, and many people who recognized Gu Xichao and had ridiculed him before froze.

At this moment, the same voice sounded in their minds—how could it be him!

Liu Qingyu happened to pass by this world, she didn't see the talented young man being bullied, so she took action.

Of course, he was not lying when he said that he wanted to compete in chess.After all, he would pass by this world by chance, and it was also because he was looking for people to play chess everywhere, but he usually met as a mortal, and it was not like today's sudden whim, which caused earth-shattering disturbances.

Although he doesn't know how good Gu Xichao's chess skills are, but the chessboard is like a battlefield, and those who can write books on tactics must have good chess skills.

It is expected that today's battle will never disappoint him.

So when the emperor's carriage drove here with the long palace guards, the treacherous minister Fu Zongshu Cai Jingliu came nearby, needles could be heard all around, and the sound of breathing could hardly be heard, and everyone looked at the sky without blinking. Lian Shang holds chess and fights one person and one god.

"What's the specific situation?"

Spotting a familiar figure, Zhao Ji, Fu Zongshu, and Cai Jing asked the Minister of the Ministry of War present in unison.

The latter hurriedly told the ins and outs of the matter.

The emperor Zhao Ji, who had a very high artistic attainment, created his own calligraphy "thin gold style" and his own "courtyard style" in flower and bird paintings, had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what it was like.

He looked at Gu Xichao's figure from a distance, and the envy in his eyes was so intense that it turned into jealousy.

If he had known that there was a real immortal who loved chess so far, he should have devoted himself to chess skills.With his talent, could it be that he is not as good as a white-clothed scholar?

A real fairy came to the world!

On Bianjing City, play chess with immortals!

There is no one before, and there will be no one who wants to come!

The opportunity to be eulogized by thousands of people, written in history books, and immortalized through the ages, was just missed!

Maybe it can still be valued by real immortals and become immortals!Immortality!Achieved the dream of longevity that Qin Shihuang could not realize!

Just ask who can be willing!

Liu Qingyu didn't know what the people below were thinking, he played this round today heartily and enjoyed himself very much.

Gu Xichao really lived up to his expectations.

So half of the people in Bianjing, from the emperor's civil and military officials to the people of the Li people, were watching, Liu Qingyu smiled with joy.

"It took hundreds of years for this deity to achieve this achievement, but you only have more than ten years of skill, and you only count half of the deity's tricks. You really live up to your name."

Gu Xichao couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, but his heart was filled with the joy of being appreciated by others, the honor of being favored by immortals, and the relief of fame and fortune.

Liu Qingyu looked at the ever-changing emotions in his eyes, smiled and said: "One more thing, the secular world is not suitable for you, it is better to enter my divine way, be at ease, fly mountains and rivers, and roam the world."

"I will send you a cultivation method of cultivating immortals. I will see you in the future. I hope that you will be fellow immortals."

As Liu Qingyu said, without waiting for Gu Xichao to react, and regardless of the mood of others, a golden light popped out from her right finger and flew into Gu Xichao's forehead, and then flew away.

"True fairy! Please wait a moment!"

Seeing Liu Qingyu's figure drifting away, Zhao Ji shouted anxiously.

The group of people who were also counting on Liu Qingyu to leave behind some benefits, or pointed out one or two ways to become immortals also shouted in unison to persuade Liu Qingyu to stay.

However, Liu Qingyu still couldn't get a look back.

"Gu Xichao! Chess master! He has the way to cultivate immortals!"

When the minister of the Ministry of War reminded him, everyone remembered the great gift Liu Qingyu had given Gu Xichao, and turned their eyes to see that auspicious clouds had carried the latter away from Bianjing.

So far, in Bianjing City, only Xiangyun Xianguang Yunlian, who has not been separated for half a month, proves that there are immortals, leaving behind the legend of immortals playing chess.

From that day on, Gu Xichao became known as a chess master.

Countless people from the government and the people searched for Gu Xichao's trace for a long time, but they still found nothing.

Some people said that he escaped into the mountains and forests to practice immortality.

Some people say that he became a fairy after attaining Taoism, and he is no longer in the world.

Only those who have experienced everything that day, whenever they think of Gu Xichao, they will beat the ground in despair, or cry and complain that they have no eyes to see Mount Tai.

Of course, after Gu Xichao's expulsion from fame and his self-recommendation got out, Zhao Ji and all the court officials had to be scolded behind their backs for being stupid and blind.

A year later, Qi Shaoshang, the nine-discovered dragon who is the leader of Lianyunzhai, was entrusted by Li Ling to escort Baojian Nishuihan to the capital, but he was besieged by officers and soldiers along the way.

At the juncture of life and death, a young man came with a sword and summoned a gust of wind, blowing away thousands of officers and soldiers who were encircled and suppressed in an instant.

Under the astonished gazes of the opposing sides, the young man landed and looked back at Qi Shaoshang. "Qi Shaoshang."

Yesterday he had a dream, dreaming of another life of Gu Xichao full of sadness, woke up looking at the world, and remembered some unknown immortal.

It turns out that there are so many gifts from the gods!

"If you care about the court, you will miss it for life, and if you don't care about it, you will miss it for life. You are the rumored chess fairy Gu Xichao in green shirt and long robe!" Qi Shaoshang was stunned for a moment, and then reacted quickly and said.

Gu Xichao smiled slightly, and Qi Shaoshang was in a daze for a while, feeling that the person in front of him seemed to have known each other for a lifetime.
