Chapter seven hundred and eighty sixth: two on the mountain
Ding Xiaoyi, who was just thinking about pretending that his phone was turned off, heard the shouting outside and immediately knew that he couldn't escape.
Quickly send a message to Pangpang and the others in the group. Regardless of whether they can see it or not, I can only take one step at a time.
When he walked out of the door, he saw the three-handed squirrel sitting obediently on the old man's shoulder. Ding Xiaoyi immediately knew the identity of the old man.
"I've seen Mr. Guisong." He bowed his hands in a bow, and he was so elegant and generous that it was hard to fault him.
When I went out, I didn't learn anything else from the various schools of thought, but I still learned a lot of etiquette.
When the two met for the first time, Old Man Guisong looked Ding Xiaoyi up and down, and nodded secretly: "He is indeed very similar to that old man."
Old Guisong looked at Ding Xiaoyi, and Ding Xiaoyi was secretly looking at the old man.
I learned it from Pang Pang’s mouth.
This old man is an old pine tree standing at the top of a secluded mountain.
He was planted by the emperor himself, and he has been with the emperor for countless years. He is considered to be the person at the top of the world who can talk to the emperor.
Therefore, although the old man Guimatsu has no position in the underworld, even people like the bad old man will take the initiative to show courtesy to him when they see him.
However, Pangpang said he was respectful, but in the blink of an eye, he completely ransacked the home of Old Man Guisong's pet.
After the two looked at each other and looked at each other, Old Man Guisong said: "Ding Xiaoyi, by order of Emperor Qi Rensheng, please come to the palace for tea. Get in the car. Don't keep the emperor waiting."
"Ugh... I'd like to ask how many days it will take to get back here?"
He hesitated for a moment, then asked.
Old Guisong frowned. If it had been anyone else, even a ghost emperor, he would have scolded him at this time.
But for the young man in front of him, Old Guisong still said patiently: "I don't know."
"Then I would like to ask how long it takes to get to Youshan."
He continued to ask.
"It takes half a day to get there by taking the emperor's horse."
Old Man Guisong was already a little impatient, but he still answered patiently.
Ding Xiaoyi calculated the time in his mind.
It takes half a day to get to Youshan from here, but if I rush from Youshan to Blood Sea, it will take at least one day, including the time when the emperor calls me to ask questions.
Calculated in this way, the time is really tight.
Thinking of this, he had a bad feeling in his heart. If he really went to Youshan, he would definitely delay the important task of delivering medicine to the bad old man.
But when the emperor summoned him at this juncture, did he already know about the Nine Turns Wuji Pill?
"Ding Xiaoyi, get in the car."
Seeing that he was silent, Old Guisong couldn't help but urge him.
"This happened suddenly. Sir, please wait a moment while I go and inform my family." Ding Xiaoyi hurriedly said with his hands.
This request was not too much, so Old Man Guisong didn't care anymore. He nodded and asked Ding Xiaoyi to go back.
"Squeak!!"
The three-handed squirrel wanted to follow him in, but Old Man Guisong grabbed him in the palm of his hand, tapped the little guy's head with his finger, and said angrily:
"When you have a wife and forget about your mother, are you letting that vixen narrow your eyes? You have only been out for a few days and your elbows are bent outwards? Be honest and go home!"
The three-handed squirrel looked innocent, but he lowered his head obediently and did not dare to speak.
Soon Ding Xiaoyi walked out from inside.
"Sir, you've been waiting for a long time. Let's go."
"It's faster than I thought." Old Guisong nodded. He thought that Ding Xiaoyi would have to write ink for a while, but now it seems that he really just said hello to his family.
He opened the curtain and took Ding Xiaoyi into the carriage.
The carriage turned around and took off into the air in a matter of two steps, heading straight for the mountain.
After about a while, I saw the big thief emerging from Chaimu's new home.
After confirming that Ding Xiaoyi had gone far, he took out a piece of money and burned it directly.
"Um... may I ask, sir, what happened when the emperor called me over?"
Seeing Old Man Guisong stroking the three-clawed squirrel in the carriage, Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but ask.
"Why, I can't come to you if I have nothing to do."
Old Guisong's cold tone sounded like he was repelling people thousands of miles away. If he had seen this situation, he would have retreated and shut his mouth wisely.
But Ding Xiaoyi chuckled and didn't mean to shut up at all. Instead, he smiled naively and said: "How can I do that? It's an honor for the Emperor to find me. What I mean is that I need you, sir, to pick me up. It's just a text message. I
Immediately go up the mountain in a hurry."
The old man Guisong didn't say anything when he heard this. He looked at Ding Xiaoyi silently with his eyes, as if you continue to say, I will be a ghost if I believe a word of yours.
"Oh, by the way, it must be something about the princess."
Ding Xiaoyi slapped his forehead, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, and hurriedly sent the ghost princess Bai Tang out.
But when Old Man Guisong saw this, he immediately stopped him and said, "Forget it, let her stay inside first, so as not to annoy people."
Obviously, Old Man Guisong didn't like Bai Tang, a willful ghost princess, at all.
Let her out now and think about how she behaved towards him. The old man's head is getting big.
It's better not to release it. Just wait until you reach Youshan and hand it over to the Emperor.
"Oh, that's it. I'm just worried about the princess's injury. Why don't you take a look first..."
Seeing this, Ding Xiaoyi continued to pretend to be stupid and test it out.
The corner of Guisong's mouth twitched, knowing that Ding Xiaoyi was deliberately playing rogue with him.
So he raised two fingers: "Two questions, please don't bother me after you finish asking them."
Seeing that Old Guisong was so simple and straightforward, Ding Xiaoyi immediately stopped mentioning Bai Tang. After all, how long he had lived, his little thoughts had been seen through long ago.
If you can give yourself two questions, you are already giving yourself face. If you mess around again, you may not get any good results.
"Why is the Emperor looking for me??" He asked the first question.
Judging from the attitude of the old man Guisong, we knew that the emperor was definitely not looking for him because of Bai Tang. Otherwise, he could just be taken away. Why would he follow him up Youshan?
Regarding this question, Old Man Guisong simply said two words: "Good thing!"
Ding Xiaoyi subconsciously wanted to ask about something good, but he shut up as soon as the words came to his mouth. Old Guisong looked at him with a half-smile.
It seemed like she was just waiting for him to ask.
"There are a lot of thieves in my hometown, and I almost fell for it." He immediately regretted that he had asked too hastily.
But my mind changed. Since this old guy was playing this trick with me, I was no longer polite. The second question was directly to the point: "The emperor doesn't want me to attend the Zhaomi Dharma Assembly!"
No wonder he asked this question. After all, at this juncture, he was summoned to Youshan. The timing was a bit too coincidental.
Moreover, just after he received the text message, Old Guisong was already waiting for him outside the door.
Make it clear that you don’t give yourself any reason to refuse to procrastinate.
So he wanted to know whether the emperor did not want him to participate in the Zhaomi Dharma Assembly.
Old Man Guisong caressed the three-clawed squirrel's head with his fingers. After thinking for a moment, he spread out the two beasts and said with a proud look on his face: "I don't know!"
Although he knew that there might not be an answer to this question, Ding Xiaoyi still felt a little disappointed.
After asking two questions, he no longer pestered Old Man Guisong and sat quietly in the carriage waiting.
The emperor's car is naturally as fast as lightning.
Even in the underworld, you can travel thousands of miles in an instant.
Ding Xiaoyi occasionally pulled through the car window and saw huge cracks appearing on the vast earth below from time to time.
There are an extremely large number of these cracks, and there are countless ghosts and ghosts surrounding them. They are like an army ready to go, and they may rush out of this land that has bound them for thousands of years through the cracks at any time.
"During this period, were the Black Moon riots very frequent?"
He asked involuntarily.
But old man Guisong didn't answer. He closed his eyes to rest and said nothing.
Seeing this, he had no choice but to shut his mouth and look at the changes outside, a trace of worry flashing deep in his eyes.
He is not worried about whether the civil war in the alliance will push the alliance to a dead end.
Because he believed that the leaders of this war were not Sachs, Kajifur, nor the five major families such as the Tong family.
The Moth Plan, which was laid out from a long time ago, is meaningless if it just pushes the alliance to destruction.
Therefore, he believed that behind the Moth Plan, there must be people like Mr. Li Chuanhai, who regard alliances and unions as their lives, operating in secret.
No matter how big the hole is, when they take action, it only takes a moment to bring order to the chaos.
But the countless cracks in the Netherland before his eyes had to make him worry about how much time would be left for the Alliance to correct its mistakes when the Netherworld completely collapsed and faced a world like a scourge.
Just when he was worried about the future of the alliance, the carriage stopped and the carriage had arrived at Youshan and was going all the way up.
Soon the world outside the window was covered by a vast expanse of snow.
The carriage and horse drove to the top of the secluded mountain, and the vermilion palace wall standing majestically under the white snow appeared in his sight.
"We're here, get off the car!"
Old Man Guisong opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage with the three-clawed squirrel in his arms, followed closely by Ding Xiaoyi.
"Go in by yourself, the Emperor's palace is waiting for you at the top."
"Should I go in by myself?"
He glanced at the back of the palace, which looked like a dragon's head, and couldn't help tightening his clothes.
Although this is not my first time here, I have to walk up to such a big palace by myself. I don’t know how long it will take before I can climb up.
Besides, he seemed to remember that the place at the top was the emperor's palace. Even the old man and the others felt extremely cold when they went up there. If he went up there, it would be even more unbearable.
Just when he was about to ask Old Man Guisong if anyone could take him up, he turned around and the old man disappeared.
Seeing this, he felt extremely helpless. He looked at the statue-like guards in front of the palace gate, took a deep breath, and walked up.
The guards stood in front of the gate, as if they were stone sculptures that remained unchanged through the ages.
There was no expression on his cold face until Ding Xiaoyi walked to the palace gate, and all the guards focused their attention on him.
