Luo Li was a little gloomy, and he didn't seem to be in a very high mood. Maybe he had never seen Gu Que lose his temper before, and he felt a little depressed.
Gu Que sat firmly on the throne and did not deal with government affairs. Instead, he issued several strategic goals to fundamentally solve Zhongzhou's development problems.
Now Zhongzhou is the absolute center of the Continent of Gods and Demons, the core area where nationalities merge and major cultures collide and intertwine. It should have its own sense of responsibility and tolerance to face the changes in the world.
It wasn't until night that the civil and military officials dispersed one after another, and Luo Li was surprisingly not naughty, but stood motionless beside him.
Gu Que looked at her and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, and said: "Why do you seem to have been wronged?"
Luo Li opened his mouth and couldn't help but said: "Master, you were so scary before."
Gu Que waved his hand and said: "Let your senior brother come in. I have been kneeling for a whole day and still haven't healed my injury."
"oh..."
Luo Li ran out quickly and soon helped Xue Qingshan in.
Xue Qingshan didn't dare to raise his head and quickly knelt down.
Gu Que said: "Okay, get up."
Xue Qingshan said in a low voice: "Disciple does not dare to get up due to the respect of his master."
Gu Que smiled and said: "Qingshan, let me ask you, if Zhongzhou is destroyed, will you be able to rebuild Zhongzhou?"
Xue Qingshan was stunned, lowering his head and not daring to speak.
Gu Que said: "If you own something but don't have the confidence to get it back after losing it, then you will lose it sooner or later."
He stood up, waved his hand, lifted Xue Qingshan and walked directly outside.
The speed was extremely fast, and soon we arrived at the Dragon Bird Platform, where there were big flags, one was the Dragon Bird Flag of the Dragon Bird Alliance, and the other was the Shenque Flag, the national flag of Zhongzhou.
The strong wind howls, the flag is fluttering, the city below is majestic, the buildings are densely packed, and countless races thrive here.
Civilization here has already begun. Who can imagine that this was once a poisonous place?
Looking at the endless forest, the magnificent city, and the stars in the sky, Gu Que said in a deep voice: "Qingshan, you see how magnificent these mountains and rivers are, but if you want to defend them, you can't just rely on caution. The war in the East more than forty years ago,
Dongzhou was the state that suffered the most heavy losses, with 500 million people wiped out, but now Dongzhou is still one of the most powerful divine dynasties in the world, why?"
Xue Qingshan stood behind, bowing and not daring to speak.
Gu Que said: "Including one or two hundred years ago, when Yingba took over a dilapidated Dongzhou, why was it able to develop it in a short time? In fact, they all believe that they can get back what they lost. With this courage,
I also have this confidence.”
At this point, Gu Que sighed again: "It is easy to conquer a country, but it is difficult to defend a country. It is impossible for any divine dynasty or holy mountain not to experience setbacks. If you have the confidence to get it back, no setbacks can destroy you, but your current mentality
, one failure is enough to destroy you."
Xue Qingshan whispered: "Disciple realizes his mistake."
Gu Que turned his head and said in a deep voice: "The more you are afraid of losing anything, the more likely it will be lost eventually. What you need to do is not to worry about whether Zhongzhou's foundation can be maintained, but to think about how to make it strong."
Xue Qingshan gritted his teeth and said hoarsely: "Disciple, please follow Master's teachings."
Gu Que said: "During the day, are there people from the Endless Holy Mountain coming?"
Xue Qingshan seemed to have just remembered and said hurriedly: "Yes, they were two people. They left as soon as they came. They said they were waiting for you at Sunset Mountain."
Gu Que smiled coldly and said, "I'm not in a hurry. It's them who should be anxious."
As he spoke, he turned back and walked towards the palace, leaving only one sentence: "Just stand here and look at thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. Stand here for three days."
"yes!"
Xue Qingshan's roar came from behind, and Gu Que had to admit that he had high expectations for this child, but he still needed to grow up.
Guque knows that Sunset Mountain is located in the northern part of Xizhou, at the junction with Tianzhou.
That's the northwest direction of the entire continent, and it's also the direction where the sun sets. That's how the name naturally comes from.
The mountain is thousands of feet high and stretches for hundreds of miles, like a giant beast lying across the northwest of the continent, isolating the land from the sea.
When Gu Que came here, the rising sun was rising, purple air came from the east, and the entire east side seemed to be dyed golden.
There are trees below, snow above, cold wind in the north and warm sun in the south, forming a unique scenery.
Landing steadily on the top of the mountain, looking to the north, everything is vast and vast. Looking to the south, the earth is all blue.
Not interested in admiring the scenery, Gu Que closed his eyes for a long time, and finally said in a deep voice: "Since you are here, why don't you show up?"
The sound spread throughout the world, echoing for a long time, and a soft hum was heard.
The void suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe and a red hair crown stepped out of it. His whole body was majestic and his face was indifferent. He stood firmly above and looked down at Gu Que.
"Are you Gu Que?"
His eyes were slightly narrowed, his face was arrogant, and his surging momentum seemed to be suppressed at any time.
People from the Endless Holy Mountain are really virtuous. Gu Que frowned and said calmly: "Are you from the Endless Holy Mountain? Do you have a name?"
The man's face darkened, and he said proudly: "How can a person from the lower realms interfere with my name? Please take out the Book of Life and Death!"
Hearing these words, Gu Que couldn't help but laugh and said: "Do you really think of me, Gu Que, as a lackey of your Endless Holy Mountain? Not everyone is willing to rely on this big tree."
The man's face was already ashen, and Gu Que was obviously mocking him for being a lackey of the Endless Holy Mountain.
He suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Gu Que, pay attention to your words. I think you know what kind of existence you are facing."
Gu Que waved his hand and said: "Stop talking nonsense, where is Su Xue? If you want the "Book of Life and Death", just bring him out."
The man's pupils shrank and he slowly looked back, only to see a young man slowly walking out from behind the crack in the void. His eyes were cold and his face was cold. Behind him, stood a woman in white. Her eyes were
Already slightly red.
Gu Que thought of the moonlight again.
And the gentle, watery face under the pavilion by the lake.
Eighty years have passed, and Suixue is still the same as before.
But at this moment, she had already entered Gu Que's heart.
There were tears in Su Xue's eyes. She couldn't help but tremble and kept shaking her head. Then she suddenly looked at the young man and said word by word: "Li Jiangbai, didn't you say that my husband died twenty years ago?"
Huh? You’ve made me sad for twenty years!”
Gu Que had never seen Su Xue so angry before. The past twenty years must have been too painful for her.
Li Jiangbai sneered and said: "Who knew he would come back to life again, Su Xue, you are still stubborn, how can this man compare to me? It has been more than twenty years, and you haven't given up on him yet!"
"Shut up!"
Su Xue stretched out her trembling fingers and gritted her teeth and said, "You will never be as good as him even if you live ten more lifetimes, you despicable and shameless villain."
"Bitch, you are so presumptuous!"
Li Jiangbai roared loudly, but Gu Que's face had already become extremely gloomy.
With a murderous glint in his eyes, he stepped forward in a few steps, his whole body filled with chaos, and said solemnly: "I'll give you ten breaths, take back what you just said!"
Li Jiangbai suddenly turned around, looked at Gu Que, and said proudly: "You are that Gu Que, right? You are thin and weak. I really don't know how Su Xue could fall in love with you! I don't know who gave you the courage to dare.
Talk to me like that?"
There was no expression on Gu Que's face, and he just said in a cold voice: "There are still five breaths left. Once the time is up, I can't take back the words!"
The old man in brocade robes snorted coldly and said slowly: "Gu Que, let's get down to business and hand over the "Book of Life and Death". You can take this woman away at any time. She has remained unscathed for more than twenty years."
"Father!"
Li Jiangbai's expression suddenly changed, and the old man in brocade robes' eyes narrowed, and he said solemnly: "No one can afford to ruin the palace master's important affairs!"
Li Jiangbai gritted his teeth, but did not dare to say another word.
Gu Que looked at Li Jiangbai and said coldly: "I remember your name. We will have many opportunities to meet in the future."
After speaking, he looked at Su Xue and said softly: "Don't be afraid, my husband is here to pick you up."
Su Xue's face was filled with tears. She couldn't help but cover her face and cry bitterly. She said in a trembling voice: "You are still alive, as long as you are alive. I have been so desperate every day for more than 20 years. I wish I could die on your behalf."
"We will all live well."
Gu Que smiled, but felt extremely guilty in his heart. If he had the ability, he wouldn't have let Su Xue suffer so much.
After following him for so many years, there was always less separation and more bitterness than sweetness. He vowed to make up for these shortcomings.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at the old man in brocade robes and said solemnly: "Is there a seal on her body? Are there shackles?"
The old man in brocade robes said: "The Endless Holy Mountain doesn't need to play tricks like this. No one can play tricks in front of the Endless Holy Mountain. You give them something and I let them go. It's that simple."
"good."
Gu Que took a deep breath, the white light above his head flashed, and an ancient book flew out, exuding the atmosphere of ancient vicissitudes.
When it appeared on the top of the void, everything around it seemed to have changed, energy surged wildly, strong winds howled, and even space seemed to be distorting.
There were black clouds in the sky, and there was a faint sound of thunder. The old man in the brocade robe couldn't help but change his expression and said: "What a book of the Book of Life and Death!"
He carefully took out a black box, which emitted a strange light, and opened it with all his strength. The "Book of Life and Death" suddenly let out a whimper and flew into the black box.
The old man in the brocade robe put it away, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Gu Que and said, "You can take her away now."
Gu Que nodded, looked at Su Xue, smiled softly, and said, "Teacher Su Xue, let's go home."
Hearing the word "teacher", Su Xue's face couldn't help but blush slightly, and she responded softly, her eyes full of tenderness.
The tacit understanding between the two has reached the point where they know each other. Gu Que smiled and slowly stretched out his hands, vowing not to let Su Xue leave him again.
Su Xue couldn't help but smile, with tears in her eyes, she also stretched out her hands and walked towards Gu Que.
The sky is filled with clouds all around and everything is so beautiful.
Reunion after a long separation seemed to be better than a wedding, and it was a mixture of joy and sorrow for Su Xue. She originally thought that Gu Que was dead, but she never thought that we would see each other again.
She opened her lips lightly and wanted to call out "husband", but her face was terribly hot, and her neck and ears were even red.
Just like how shy I was back then, it was the most beautiful emotion in the world.
Gu Que was really happy in his heart, and just as his four hands were about to hold each other tightly, a murderous intention surged out.
"What I can't get, no one else can get it!"
A ferocious voice sounded, and a surging force instantly cracked the void. The powerful force was like a storm drawing blood, and suddenly hit Su Xue's back at lightning speed.
"Uh-huh!"
A scream was heard, and Gu Que's eyes widened as he watched Su Xue's body being torn apart, and blood instantly filled the void.
The pair of pale hands also dropped down.
This palm is really terrifying and powerful. It has at least reached the realm of spiritual decline. Suixue, who is in the realm of the divine king, can withstand it.
Not only was her body cracked, but her soul was also cracked.
With only a trace of remaining reason, she said the two words she wanted to say the most: "Husband!"
Her voice stopped suddenly as she yelled, and scattered blood clots kept falling, followed by the head.
The head and soul turned into powder at the same time.
Gu Que's eyes were still wide open, and he seemed to have not yet reacted. The word "husband" was echoing in his mind. (To be continued)
