Chapter 146 It’s all Dong Zhen’s problem

Gu Zhuo's eyes swept across the scrolls, hardly stopping for a moment.

In a very short time, he finished reading Xie Yinglian's so-called gift, and then said those words inspired by his feelings.

Xie Yinglian stopped.

However, she did not look back at Gu Zhuo, and suddenly asked: "When will you be able to break through?"

When she said this, her tone was slightly different from before. It was no longer so gentle, and it sounded a little more impatient.

Gu Zhuo ignored it.

Xie Yinglian sighed and left a word.

"I don't care how you view me, because it is your own business, but you shouldn't deceive yourself about cultivation. That is really a very boring thing."

Having said this, she seemed to be disappointed with Gu Zhuo and lost interest in him.

Gu Zhuo still didn't speak.

In matters like this, right or wrong is not an issue.

Only on the sword.

He raised his hand, and an autumn wind suddenly blew.

At some point, Zhe Xue appeared on the field, with a layer of frost covering the sword, which was slowly flowing like mist.

If you look at it after nightfall, the moving frost marks look like stars, which easily reminds people of those eight words.

——The sky is filled with murderous intent, and the stars are moving.

Xie Yinglian sensed something, raised his eyebrows, and pointed behind him.

This movement of the finger was entirely based on her intention and was almost natural. Even with her extremely high standards and demands on herself, she felt somewhat satisfied at this moment.

But the next moment, her raised brows froze.

The finger missed.

Zhexue did not come through the air, and at this moment it was still hanging quietly beside Gu Zhuo.

Everything Xie Yinglian had sensed before seemed like an illusion.

She slowly withdrew her hand, and the emotion in her eyes became fainter, finally no longer looking superior and detached.

If Gu Zhuo had used this flying sword earlier, the True Monk would have had no chance of surviving, let alone fighting with him for a hundred moves.

What does this represent?
How could Xie Yinglian not understand?
Gu Zhuo was speaking with his sword, telling her directly that her views were wrong from the very beginning.

……

At the same time, the monks in the temple finally realized that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between the two. From a distance, it gave people a feeling of confrontation and was very solemn.

Thinking about the identities of the two men, and the consequences if they really had a conflict here, the monks' expressions suddenly changed, and they could no longer care about anything else and rushed over immediately.

Gu Zhuo took back the snow, picked up the stack of drawing papers, brushed past Xie Yinglian, and walked towards the monks.

Under Xie Yinglian's gaze, he smiled and handed the thing in his hand to the Zhenxing monk, saying that the things painted on it did have some merits, and you can take a look at it for reference, which should be able to inspire your own practice.

The true monk was very moved and acted in accordance with his name, without making any unnecessary excuses.

Seeing this scene, the servants of Xie family were first stunned, and then angry.

Just when they were about to do something, Xie Yinglian shook his head, stopped this unnecessary conflict, and walked out of the temple.

When passing by Gu Zhuo, she deliberately stopped and said three words with a bright smile.

"I'll wait for you at Cihang Temple."

"I was wrong before. It turns out you are more interesting than I thought."

"I like you more now."

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the room.

Everyone was so stunned that they didn't pay any attention to the first two sentences. They were so shocked by the last sentence "like" that they were speechless. They wondered what on earth are you talking about?

……

The Xie family's carriage had already gone away, but Xie Yinglian's words would surely spread throughout the entire human world at a faster speed in a very short time.

The yellow horse entered the temple gate.

It’s getting earlier and earlier in autumn when people return to the mountains. At this time, the sky and the earth are already in a warm red color. Gu Zhuo is too lazy to walk on the mountain road at night, so he simply stays overnight in the temple.

The monks accepted the request and arranged a meditation room with the best view for him, sent him their treasured tea, and even gave him several ugly Buddhist scriptures.

Gu Zhuo sat down, made a pot of tea, and read a book in the daylight.

He encountered too many troubles today.

Whether Xiu Hu was placed under house arrest by the Secret Service or Xie Yinglian showed up, it was essentially because more and more people came.

The most important reason, of course, comes from Cihang Temple.

If it weren't for the upcoming Dharma Assembly, so many people wouldn't have come here, and these unexpected events wouldn't have happened.

"so troublesome."

Gu Zhuo took a sip of tea and thought that the next thing would be difficult to deal with.

Just like Xie Yinglian said, his current realm is indeed too low.

Yes, Dong Zhen is certainly remarkable among his peers, but when his age is broadened to the entire younger generation, he is really nothing.

As for cultivation, Gu Zhuo had already made sure that he would not encounter any troubles and it was impossible for him to be trapped in a certain realm and make no progress.

As long as he is given enough time, he will definitely be able to see the scenery that he once was familiar with, sooner or later.

It is for this reason, and the fact that the breakthrough in realm cannot prolong his life and buy him more time for cultivation, that his cultivation... to put it nicely, he is following the routine, but to put it bluntly, he is a bit lazy.

The only exception was because of Pei Jinge.

In fact, in Gu Zhuo's original plan, he had never thought about winning the first place in the summer festival. He wanted to put himself in the top ten and then enter the Taoist sect.

He re-entered the Taoist sect and practiced the same method as before, quietly cultivating himself in a corner where no one cared about him, focusing his energy on how to solve his own problems. He did not need to communicate with the world, as all things would become his friends.

Until one year when the world was in chaos and the Taoist sect faced the most dangerous moment, forcing him to take action. His reputation once again became known between heaven and earth. In the blink of an eye, without waiting for the world to admire and worship him, he left, ending all the causes and effects of the past, present and future, and was truly alone.

This idea was great, and it fit the aesthetic that Gu Zhuo admired. Unfortunately, everything was in vain.

"Break through the realm?"

Gu Zhuo muttered to himself.

Realm is not everything, because he has a treasure like the Three Lives Tower in his hand.

If he really wanted to kill Xie Yinglian, then this noble girl with a mental problem would definitely die. There was no second possibility at all.

Even if he doesn't use the Three Lives Tower, he still has other means to kill people.

The problem is that killing people this way will cause more trouble.

Gu Zhuo collected his thoughts, thought for a moment, and said to himself, "Is it true that breaking through the realm is still the most cost-effective..."

……

A horse-drawn carriage was driving on the mountain road.

In the carriage, Xie Yinglian, sitting on a soft couch, was holding a file in his hand and reading it carefully.

That was a summary of Gu Zhuo's past life.

This naturally includes every battle he has experienced.

At some point, Xie Yinglian put down the file in his hand and drank a cup of hot tea to refresh himself.

An old servant asked, "Miss, what do you think of him now?"

"pretty good."

Xie Yinglian smiled and said, "I originally wanted to deal with the family a little bit and break his faith in Taoism, but now I have changed my mind."

The old servant was startled, and couldn't help but worry, and asked, "Miss, what do you mean?"

Xie Yinglian smiled and said, "If someone like Gu Zhuo ends up like that, how is that different from wasting nature's gifts?"

This is of course a non-answer to the question.

The old servant was so nervous that he hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "So?"

"When we meet at Cihang Temple, as long as he makes some progress in his realm, then..."

Xie Yinglian smiled even more: "I'll just take him into my room. Isn't this exactly what the old people at home want?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old servant's eyes went dark and he almost fainted on the spot.

Just like what Gu Zhuo said, in fact many people in the Xie family also know that their eldest daughter’s brain... sometimes there are indeed some problems that ordinary people cannot understand.

This may be the true genius.

But this time her idea was a little too absurd.

The old servant calmed himself down and asked in a low voice, "What if Gu Zhuo disagrees with your decision?"

"Yeah... this is difficult to handle."

Xie Yinglian frowned, and thought about it for a while, as if in a dilemma. Then he thought of a solution, and his eyes brightened: "Then I just need to make him fall into the realm."

The old servant was stunned.

Xie Yinglian didn't care and said as a matter of course: "Will I be unable to accept him in this case?"

……

For the next period of time, Gu Zhuo remained unchanged and everything was as usual.

The only difference was that all kinds of precious elixirs and materials were delivered to him as quickly as possible through the hands of the deacons of the Sky Patrol.

This matter has nothing to do with Pei Jinge. It was the promise that the White Emperor had made to him - until he reached the state of unity, all the materials needed for cultivation would be provided by the court.

In order to fulfill this promise, the relevant government offices temporarily transferred dozens of people to serve him.

Especially when Gu Zhuo sometimes needed something that was not in stock, the court had to send more people to search temporarily and find pharmacists to make it for him.

Gu Zhuo felt at ease with this and accepted it calmly.

……

"Can you really spend so much effort to break into a real realm like this?"

“Actually, I think it’s fine.”

Many days later, in a meditation room in a temple, Chen Chi listened to these words and remained silent for a long time with a serious expression.

In order to deliver the things to Gu Zhuo as soon as possible, the Sky Patrol Department naturally assigned the task to the sword cultivator, because sword cultivators can run fast.

This made Chen Chi become a postman.

Gu Zhuo consoled him and said, "If you find it troublesome, I can ask them to replace someone else."

Chen Chi sighed, shook his head and said, "It's just a postman for you, it's not a big deal. I'm mainly worried about you now."

Gu Zhuo asked: "Hmm?"

Chen Chi looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Do you know how the outside world sees you now?"

Gu Zhuo said: "From your attitude, it's obviously not a good thing to say."

"It's not good."

Chen Chi said with a complicated expression: "The story between you and Xie Yinglian has spread everywhere, almost everyone knows about it, and then you suddenly started to break through. It's hard not to think that you were angered by her and then decided to start breaking through."

Gu Zhuo laughed and said for him: "But I still can't break through."

"It's mainly because you took so many good things. If it were another cultivator, they would definitely be able to use elixirs to raise their realm."

Chen Chi said worriedly: "But you haven't broken through yet, so many people think that you are too eager for quick success, so that there is something wrong with your practice, and you are trying your best to make up for it... I think so now too."

Gu Zhuo nodded and said, "This inference is very reasonable."

Chen Chi looked into his eyes and said worriedly, "So is there really something wrong with your practice?"
