Chapter 90 Let's end here, this summer festival
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Zhuo finally withdrew his gaze and took a step forward.
His footsteps made a rustling sound on the snow, which sounded quite pleasant.
However, after walking a dozen feet, he stopped and stopped moving forward, turning to look towards the cliff.
Someone is coming up.
He is a pure monk.
The little monk clapped his hands and cried out, "It's so cold!" Then he looked up and saw Gu Zhuo. His eyes suddenly brightened.
He hurried over and asked with concern: "Is there anyone ahead of us?"
Gu Zhuo said: "No."
The Immortal Monk was slightly startled, and subconsciously said: "You are the first one to come here? What are the others doing?"
This question naturally does not require an answer.
The little monk kept saying, "Forget it, forget it, let's go! We should get some distance before they come up to us."
They are all the most talented people in the world today and they are absolutely confident in reaching the summit. No one thinks that they will fail halfway, so the competition among them is naturally about who will be the first and who will be the last.
There was no one behind him at this moment. If he did not take advantage of this great opportunity to gain an advantage, he did not know whether he would be punished by God. But the little monk knew that he would definitely be scolded by his elders when he returned.
Gu Zhuo understood this logic, but did not move.
"what happened?"
The Immortal Monk was somewhat puzzled. He looked at the mirror-like straight cliff in front of him. He thought he had guessed the reason and said solemnly, "Is the next level a heart tribulation?"
Gu Zhuo said: "Yeah."
The Immortal Monk frowned, thinking that he would have to go to a brothel in his heart tribulation. He was a little excited for a moment and said seriously, "Then we really can't be impatient. We need to be prepared in advance. You are right."
Gu Zhuo said: "But I am not standing here because of my heart tribulation, but because I am ready to do something."
The Immaculate Monk was stunned and looked at him subconsciously, wondering what on earth was going on.
……
……
In the northern city of Shendu, there is a quiet little cottage by the lake.
All the extraordinary things in the hustle and bustle are essentially things built up with worldly money.
Therefore, the word "quiet" often represents a kind of expensive silence.
This silence was perfect for plotting.
"If it weren't for your foresight, we would have failed now."
A middle-aged man looked at Xiu Hu Zhenren and said with emotion: "Fortunately, you spared no effort that night to tell fortunes for everyone present, and did not put all your hopes on Li Ruoyun."
Xiu Hu Zhenren smiled and said, "This shows that God also wants us to succeed."
The middle-aged man suddenly changed the subject and said seriously, "Since the next level is a mental tribulation, then no matter how many candidates you predicted that night, they will definitely think of the evaluation you gave them at that time."
Xiu Hu Zhenren said: "Not bad."
"At that time, you just need to use this as a cause and effect to connect with those candidates."
The middle-aged man warned, "You don't have to do anything from now on. The leader will take action personally."
Xiu Hu Zhenren was stunned for a moment, his smile instantly disappeared, and he asked in a deep voice: "The leader wants to take action?"
"of course."
The middle-aged man said without thinking, "Except for the leader of our sect, who else is qualified to deal with Bai Nanming?"
In the world today, there are only a handful of demonic sects with the suffix "jiao" (teaching) in their name.
The most famous sect calls itself the Destiny of Heaven.
This is also where Xiu Hu Zhenren’s master came from.
The middle-aged man continued, "Hurry up and deal with the traces you left behind. Don't let the Sky Patrol find you. Try to save your life as much as possible..."
The words were not finished.
He saw Xiu Hu Zhenren's expression suddenly change. He turned around, opened the window, looked up, and looked at the light curtain under the night sky.
"what happened?"
The middle-aged man asked while looking at the light curtain, and was also stunned.
After a moment of silence, he looked at Xiu Hu Zhenren and asked hopefully, "Gu Zhuo, are you kidding me?"
……
……
The sky above Jinghai remained bright, without a trace of darkness.
The eunuch leader did not look at the movement on the water. He handed a cup of freshly brewed hot tea to the emperor and said respectfully: "The summer festival has officially entered the second half."
The emperor had his eyes half closed and looked like he would fall asleep at any moment.
He took a sip of tea, and after feeling a little better, he casually said, "The fish is almost ready to be hooked."
The chief eunuch said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
The emperor glanced at the man next to him and said jokingly, "This sentence doesn't sound very sincere."
As he spoke, the fishing rod in his hand sank slightly, and everything happened as he had said before.
The next moment, all movement disappeared.
The eunuch leader's expression suddenly changed, becoming extremely cold and fierce.
His Majesty the Emperor raised his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so anxious, and smiled faintly: "Don't you think this is interesting?"
The eunuch leader was silent for a while, then said, "I am only sure that Gu Zhuo is ruining your Majesty's business."
"Even if that's true, it all happened during the summer festival, so there's no reason for you to intervene."
His Majesty the Emperor said: "This summer festival is not in accordance with the rules. I can't let it continue to be chaotic. Besides, it is not certain that Gu Zhuo can accomplish this task... Someone will stop him. Just wait and see."...
……
The two shocks from different standpoints came from the same person.
When the Wuque monk expressed his confusion and asked Gu Zhuo why he wanted to stay where he was and not go to the top of Cangshan Mountain, the latter gave his answer very calmly.
——Because I plan to leave everyone here.
This answer made the little monk silent for a long time.
No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't come up with such a sentence.
Then he realized that he was also one of the people mentioned in the words, so he became even more silent.
Before the young monk could figure out what to do, Bai Lang, who had defeated Lin Wanyi miserably and then two others in a row, was led here by the invisible light from the sky.
The injuries on the Third Prince's body have disappeared, but the mental exhaustion is irreparable and his face looks extremely haggard.
When he saw Gu Zhuo and the Immaculate Monk standing more than ten feet away, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, wondering how difficult this level could be, why even you stopped here?
After Bai Langxing pondered for a moment, he found a place to sit nearby. Instead of moving forward rashly, he closed his eyes and began to recover his mind.
At any other time, he would have simply ignored Gu Zhuo and the Immaculate Monk, but his current condition was really bad and there was no need to take any risks.
The Immaculate Monk felt very sorry when watching this scene.
He originally thought that if Bai Langxing moved forward, he would go over and chat with him for a few words, but who knew that this man would just sit down.
Not long after, another candidate arrived here.
This candidate was also one of the top figures on the list compiled by the Sky Patrol Department, and was usually praised by his friends as a genius. However, he was very clear that he had not yet entered the realm of the True One, and that he still had a lot of room for improvement among his peers.
Naturally, when he discovered that there were three people in the Dongzhen realm standing here, he and Bai Langxing immediately thought of a place to go.
More importantly, the Immaculate Monk was standing there, looking at him with a smile on his face.
Yes, this candidate was beaten up not long ago because he said four words.
He quickly put on a smiling face, walked aside and sat down, not daring to move forward.
……
……
The gods were in great commotion.
The people who were already dozing off had lost all their sleepiness after seeing this extremely absurd scene.
Especially when they saw those candidates who had passed the arena being led to the clouds by invisible light from the sky, and then found a bunch of people sitting around them, they sat down very consciously, closed their eyes and began to rest without saying a word, they became even more annoyed and anxious, thinking, why don’t you ask a question!
The whole world knew what Gu Zhuo was going to do, except the candidates in Cangshan who knew nothing.
People's eyes would occasionally fall on a certain stage.
There stood a girl in a green dress on the stage.
Not long ago, when she was about to meet the half-hour condition, an unconvincing candidate decided to challenge her.
There were no surprises in the results.
The candidate who thought Yu Sheng was bluffing couldn't even withstand a single punch after he went on stage and was completely defeated.
However, because of his defeat, Yu Sheng's previous wait was in vain. After the other candidates realized the gap between each other, they also extinguished the time of challenge and decided to endure the time.
"I'm not saying... this doesn't make sense, does it?"
A dignitary in the capital who was qualified to ride on the flying boat walked up to Pei Jinge and said helplessly, "How could the summer festivals in the past be like this?"
Pei Jinge didn't even turn around and said, "What's wrong?"
The noble said sincerely, "What I mean is that this is inappropriate. Gu Zhuo is breaking the rules."
Pei Jinge smiled, turned his head to look at the man, and asked, "Which rule did Gu Zhuo break now? Can you tell me specifically? I think what he is doing now is quite interesting."
The nobleman understood the meaning of her words, and after a moment of silence, he turned and left.
At this moment, a wave of sound surged from the land of the Divine Capital to the sky, and the sound was almost like cheering.
The dignitary looked at the light curtain, and saw the Goddess Jingtian appear in front of the snow and meet Gu Zhuo.
People cheered for this because everyone knew the temperament of this Taoist goddess very well. Given her style of doing things, she would never sit down for no reason and would ask questions if necessary.
This is indeed the case.
……
……
The Goddess of Jingtian's eyes swept across the examinees sitting on the snow, and finally fell on a distance of more than ten feet.
Gu Zhuo just stood there.
"What's going on? Why are there so many people sitting here?"
Shen Jingtian asked directly, because the two of them were friends.
Hearing these words, the candidates present secretly opened their eyes and pricked up their ears.
Gu Zhuo shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't understand why they are sitting here."
Everyone was shocked and wondered what you meant by this.
Shen Jingtiannu raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Since you don't understand, why are you standing here? Are you going to stop everyone here?"
As soon as the words fell, the people watching the game in Shendu suddenly cheered and celebrated that someone finally asked this question.
Gu Zhuo's voice was very calm, just like usual.
"Well, you guessed it right."
He stopped looking at the Goddess of Scenery and looked at the place covered by snow and wind. He said to everyone, "Let's end it here. This is the summer festival this year."
