For practitioners like Gu Cheng, who is half a wilder, and Yan Beigong, who is completely a casual cultivator, the help Song Yuanshan brought them can be said to be huge.
For those who do not have the guidance of a famous teacher, as long as they mention some of their confusions during practice to Song Yuanshan, Song Yuanshan can give them clear answers.
Now they finally know why Song Yuanshan is not very strong, but he is able to make friends with some strong men from big factions.
With his solid and theoretical knowledge of cultivation, let alone an ordinary master, even practitioners two or three levels higher than him may not be stronger than him.
Zheng Tianchen wanted to turn Wanmo Villa into a martial arts force that mainly relied on force. Let's not talk about whether he had any selfish motives for doing so. In fact, he was completely wrong.
With the miscellaneous but inexhaustible inherited skills of Wanmo Villa, even if it really transforms into a martial arts sect, the most powerful one is just a few more copies of Zheng Tianlin.
Is Wanmo Villa strong enough in this way? Dingtian only has a good reputation in Jiangbei, and it is nothing in the entire world.
Now with Song Yuanshan's reputation, he can still make Elder Lin of Shenxiao Pili Hall retreat. If Wanmo Villa turns into what Zheng Tianlin imagined, Elder Lin probably won't give him face.
Gu Cheng and Yan Beigong spent two days with Song Yuanshan and consulted each other on many questions. Although their cultivation levels did not rise directly in the past two days, their understanding of their own cultivation path and strength did.
More than one cut.
After leaving, the two of them solemnly bowed to Song Yuanshan.
Teachers preached, taught and solved their doubts. At this time, Song Yuanshan did not teach them, but he taught them the Tao and solved their doubts. It was worthy of their respect as a teacher and a half.
After returning to their residence, Ren Qingshan was already waiting for them and wanted to say goodbye to them both.
One day, his predecessor Qingshan's injury was already healed, and he was waiting to say goodbye to the two of them.
"Brother Gu, Brother Yan, now that the evil poison has been completely eliminated from my body, I have to go back to the Demon Sect to report the situation here to the teacher.
As long as the mountains remain unchanged, we will meet again by fate."
For Ren Qingshan, although he had no gains from the Heavenly Book Conference this time as before, and was unlucky enough to be poisoned and injured, his only gain was meeting Gu Cheng's three friends.
In the world of martial arts, everyone has enemies, but when there are enemies, there are also more friends. Especially for those outstanding disciples who come from big schools, there are many people vying to be friends with them.
But Ren Qingshan is different. Because of his background and his personal bad luck, no one, let alone outside the sect, even the brothers within the sect are willing to be friends with him.
So he seemed to have gained little from this Heavenly Book Conference, but in Ren Qingshan's own opinion, his gains were huge.
"Brother Ren, have a nice trip."
After bidding farewell to Ren Qingshan, Gu Cheng asked Yan Beigong: "Brother Yan, where are you going?"
Yan Beigong said: "After listening to Elder Song's words, I am almost 99% sure about stepping into the realm of a master.
So it’s better to go back to Nanjiu County at this time and find a quieter place to break through to the master realm.”
Gu Cheng suddenly suggested: "Brother Yan, how about you come to the capital?
I am currently serving as the commander of the Eastern Region in the capital. Not to mention other places, at least within my Eastern Region it is absolutely safe.
I know Nanjiu County very well. Not to mention the chaos, Brother Yan still has many enemies there.
It would be dangerous if someone takes advantage of your retreat to cause trouble for you."
Yan Beigong thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I will bother you, Brother Gu, this time."
What Gu Cheng said makes sense. The place in Nanjiu County is indeed not suitable for retreat. To be precise, it is not suitable for a helpless casual cultivator like him to retreat.
The capital is Gu Cheng's territory, and even without Gu Cheng, the security in the capital is still good. At least there are no left-behind practitioners who would dare to cause trouble in broad daylight.
After packing their bags, Gu Cheng and Yan Beigong were about to set off back to the capital, but someone stopped them just after they left Wanmo Villa.
A middle-aged man in a brocade robe dressed as a butler stopped in front of Gu Cheng and said with a smile on his face: "Master Gu, I have been waiting for you here for many days, and you finally came out.
Your Majesty, please come over if you have something to do. He is also waiting in Mojiang Mansion now."
"Prince? Prince Yongling? What does he want from me?"
Gu Cheng was a little confused.
The butler said with a smile on his face: "You will know when you go there."
Gu Cheng's sense of Li Shanchang is quite good. This is a laid-back prince with no scheming ideas and no involvement with all the forces in the capital. However, such a laid-back prince is one of the rare people who only wants to achieve great things.
At this time, the prince personally sent someone to invite him, and even waited for him outside the villa with sincerity, without entering Wanmo Villa to disturb his practice. This sincerity was enough. If Gu Cheng didn't go, what would happen?
It's just a bit shameless.
So Gu Cheng had no choice but to take Yan Beigong to the banquet.
The place Li Shanchang arranged was the same restaurant where he invited Gu Cheng to dinner last time, but this time there was no Tan Zizai.
Seeing Gu Cheng coming at this time, Li Shanchang laughed and said: "Master Gu, I have been waiting for you for a long time. I heard that you are valued by Elder Song of Wanmo Villa and have taught you many good things. How have you gained?
"
Gu Cheng smiled and said: "Elder Song is a senior who is willing to support the younger generations. He has no reservations about us. It can be said that we have benefited a lot."
After a pause, Gu Cheng said again: "Your Majesty, I am from Jingyesi, a martial artist, I speak straightforwardly, don't mind me.
Why have you been waiting for me in Mojiang Mansion for so long just to see me, a little black armor guard? Prince, just tell me."
Li Shanchang looked solemn and said: "Since that's the case, then I won't talk nonsense to Mr. Gu. I actually want you to go to my palace and help me check some things in the palace.
Strange thing.
I have inquired, Mr. Gu, you were quite famous when you were in Donglin County. After arriving in Nanyi County, you went undercover alone under the command of the great rebel Fang Zhenhai, and assisted the court in killing Fang Zhenhai.
When you were in the capital, you also made a lot of contributions in capturing the traitors of the Maitreya Cult. You are not a little Xuan Jiawei, but the most dazzling young talent of the younger generation in the Jingyesi Division."
It was true that Li Shanchang asked Gu Cheng to help investigate some matters on a temporary basis. To be more precise, he did so after the Heavenly Book Conference.
Gu Cheng's performance at the Heavenly Book Conference was so dazzling that even Yun Xing from the Yamantaka Temple was outshone by him.
That's why Li Shanchang asked Tan Zizai to help him investigate Gu Cheng's information. The result was unexpected. Gu Cheng's resume was even more perfect than his performance at the Heavenly Book Conference.
Li Shanchang immediately came up with the idea that this was a talented person and it should be possible to let him solve his own problems.
After hearing this, Gu Cheng rubbed his head and felt a little headache.
He understood what Li Shanchang meant, but Li Shanchang seemed to have made a mistake.
There is no doubt that Gu Cheng is strong and capable.
But the problem is that strength and ability do not mean that he is good at dealing with all kinds of evil and strange things. In fact, apart from dealing with such things more often when Gu Cheng was in Donglin County, he still fought with others most of the time.
Yes, no matter what monsters he is, just slap him to death.
So when it comes to experience in this area, he doesn't even have as much experience as the night watchmen under his command in the Eastern Region.
But Gu Cheng couldn't just refuse.
The Yongling King in front of him already thinks that he is a capable person. If he refuses, it will be disrespectful to him in the eyes of the Yongling King.
When the time comes that I have offended a prince who has a very good relationship with the current Holy Emperor for no reason, then the gain will outweigh the loss.
So Gu Cheng considered his tone and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you go to the people from Jingyesi in Jiangnan County to deal with this matter? The envoy of Jiangnan County is a master-level figure, and he should be stronger than me.
"
King Yongling's fiefdom is between Jiangnan and Jiangbei, but the place it belongs to belongs to Jiangnan County, so if anything goes wrong, he should go to Jiangnan County Jingyesi.
Li Shanchang snorted coldly: "Forget about those guys, people from Jingyesi of Jiangnan County came several times, and even their governor came in person, causing the whole palace to be in chaos, but no trace was found.
What's the reason for this? What a bunch of rubbish!
Later, I asked my friends in the capital to inquire and found out that although Jiangnan and Jiangbei County were the wealthiest in Jingyesi, the evaluation of Jingyesi in these two places was extremely low, so I did not go to Tan Zizai.
He is not as good as the one from Jiangnan."
Gu Cheng felt his head hurt even more after hearing this.
Although Jing Yesi from the land south of the Yangtze River and north of the Yangtze River is indeed rated very low among the entire Daqian Jing Yesi, those who can sit in the position of governor have a lower limit to their abilities. No matter how weak they are, they are not that weak.
Go.
In the end, none of them found any problems, which proved that Li Shanchang's trouble was indeed a bit difficult.
So Gu Cheng had to be careful and said: "Your Majesty, I also want to help you, but this time I am here to participate in the Heavenly Book Conference. After the Heavenly Book Conference is over, I should go back to the capital to report on my work. If I delay for too long, I'm afraid
Punishment from boss.
Moreover, I am from Jingyesi in the capital, and the palace is under the jurisdiction of Jingyesi in Jiangnan Province. It is against the rules in Jingyesi for me to interfere without permission."
Li Shanda waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about this. When I invited you, I had already sent someone to use the formation channel to send news to Jingyesi in the capital. I believe that the news has come back now. Although I have not been in the capital for a long time.
, but they should also give me this little bit of face.”
