The Path Toward Heaven

With the help of Sanqingcao, it will be safer and smoother if the Sword of Nine Deaths enters the wilderness. Of course Jing Jiu is very aware of this matter, so how could he not be ready?

Even Zhao Layue doesn't know how many good things are still hidden on the top of Shenmo Peak.

It's just that since she already has Sanqingcao, why is she still looking for it? Could it be that it was prepared for Gu Qing?

In the early morning, Baoshuju's owner entered the room. His eyes were a little red, and he obviously hadn't slept all night, but his body was clean, his temples were slightly damp, and he didn't have any peculiar smell.

It was rumored that Immortal Master Qingshan liked to be clean in nature. He was worried that his layman's smell would offend him, so he took a few serious baths, but he didn't dare to use any fragrance powder.

In fact, facing Zhao Layue, this kind of worry is of course unnecessary.

She didn't even look at him who was kneeling on the ground, and said, Many people should know about this, right?

Baoshuju's body froze slightly, and fear suddenly arose.

Although the priests in the building are loyal and obedient, who doesn't care about Peak Lord Qingshan's every move, and who can guarantee that no news will leak out?

Zhao Layue handed the box to him and said, There is a Sanqing grass inside.

The owner of Baoshuju was even more shocked and dazed, thinking to himself what does this mean?

Zhao Layue said: Where I need to find it, you just let it appear there, can you do it?

The owner of Baoshuju stared at the floor in front of him, his eyes didn't dare to move, but his mind turned extremely fast.

He didn't understand the intention of this strange request, and still said without hesitation: Yes.

When Gu Qing sent him out of the room, he bowed his body, not even daring to say anything.

I see that there are formations guarding the walls and windows of Baoshuju.

Gu Qing said: What's the point?

Baoshuju's owner said: It is mainly used to isolate sound and breath.

Lu Qing said: If you touch it, will you warn me?

The owner of Baoshuju didn't dare to guess what he meant by asking these words, and said, Yes.

Gu Qing asked again: Did the same techniques be used in Zhenqi Pavilion and Wai Zhai?

The owner of Baoshuju said: It is mainly used to cover up the treasure's aura, there is no other requirement, so we all use the same formation, provided by Daze.

Lu Qing was silent for a while, then said: I think you should know how to break this formation without warning.

The owner of Baoshuju still couldn't guess what he wanted to do, but his back was instantly wet with sweat, and he said in a tight voice, I must understand.

...

...

Zhao Layue and Gu Qing continued to drive their swords to the north, watching the big city between heaven and earth from a distance, and then fell down.

That is Chaoge City.

They fell to the ground, not to show respect to the court, nor to fear that Qing Tiansi would misunderstand, but because they had no intention of going to live in Xishan.

There is a manor outside Chaoge City. I don't know how much gold and silver was used to create a beauty comparable to that of a fairyland. It is the Zhao family's other garden.

There is a lake in Zhao Garden, and there is only one boat in the lake.

Zhao Layue sat on the bow of the boat, looking at the few poor clouds in the blue sky, and remained silent.

Three years ago, she and Jing Jiu had a conversation on this boat.

Then Jing Jiu left for something, and according to her calculations, she should have gone to Mount Li.

Then Mo Xi from Shuiyue Nunnery appeared and asked her to meet in Mingcui Valley for Guodong, and only then did the assassination happen.

Because of the assassination, she couldn't participate in the Taoist battle, and because of the conversation on the boat, Jing Jiu took her place in the Taoist battle, and never came back.

This boat should have sunk in the first place.

Gu Qing closed his eyes and practiced on the grass by the lake.

There is no one in Zhao Garden.

Not even a servant.

Very quiet.

When dusk came, Zhao Layue and Gu Qing got up and left, and entered Chaoge City before nightfall.

It was still sunny outside the city gate. After walking through the long and deep city gate, raindrops fell and wet his cheeks. Only then did Zhao Layue remember that it was spring now.

In the pattering spring rain, they stopped at a certain alley.

Here you can see the black eaves of Taichang Temple from a distance. Under the dual effects of night and rain, it looks more and more like the horns of a black dragon.

Zhao Layue walked up the stone steps and pushed a certain blue brick on the wall an inch.

She knew that somewhere she couldn't see, a smooth stone ball began to roll, and then it would smash a very precious porcelain bowl or basin.

When she first heard Jing Jiu talk about this, she didn't understand, why not use formations? If you just listen to the sound, why use such a precious old official kiln?

Later, she realized that the simpler the mechanism design, the more reliable it is, and the more precious things will be valued more if they are destroyed.

The courtyard door opened, and she and Gu Qing walked in.

Across the small garden, she nodded to the family in the flower hall, and walked along the rain corridor to the room.

There are no bamboo chairs in the room, there are some inkstones on the museum shelf, and a chess set on the table.

Lu Qing took a look and confirmed that it was the chess game in Qipanshan.

Duke Lu came out from the corner and said with emotion: I have known your father for many years, never would I have thought that I would meet his daughter in such a capacity.

Gu Qing was a little surprised and didn't say anything.

Zhao Layue nodded slightly, and said softly, He said he could ask you for help.

Lu Guogong said: Please tell me.

Zhao Layue said: I want to enter the palace.

Want to see His Majesty?

Duke Lu thought that with your current status, you are qualified to meet His Majesty, but since you want to arrange it yourself, you think you want to do it in private?

Zhao Layue said: It's the imperial concubine, please arrange it.

Lu Guogong gave her a deep look and said, Okay.

...

...

Now when it comes to the noble concubine in the palace, it refers to Hu Guifei.

Everyone knows this.

Duke Lu's son thought about the situation in the palace in the past three years, especially the situation of Concubine Hu Gui, and he was a little dazed.

Why she wants to see Concubine Hu Gui is not important.

Duke Lu stretched out his fingers and tapped on the table lightly to wake up his son, and said, What is the most important information about her appearance today?

The prince was startled, and said: Our Duke's Mansion has served Shenmo Peak for generations?

Lu Guogong said: Not bad.

The prince was very surprised, and said: Could it be that the person who made the pact with grandfather was... the real Jingyang?

Lu Guogong said: Besides this, there is no other explanation. What do you think?

The prince laughed and said, What else can I think? My son feels so good now that he even wants to go out and shout—who else!

Lord Lu shook his head with a smile, and reminded: Realist Jingyang has already ascended.

The prince just remembered this, couldn't help feeling a little regretful, thought about something again, and said, How to arrange it? Even if His Majesty trusts you, it's very difficult to quietly arrange for someone to enter the palace. It was His Majesty that Jing Jiu entered the palace to meet, the situation is different.

It's not difficult. Your Majesty knows that she may come to Chaoge City after leaving Qingshan, let me...

Thinking about the conversation in the royal study yesterday, Lord Lu had a strange expression on his face, and said, Arrange her to enter the palace.
