Chapter 150 The Beginning of a Grand Event

“The premise of faith is belief.”

"Who don't you trust?"

"A lot of people."

"Without me?"

"Not you."

After these few simple words, Yu Sheng sat down, his eyes falling on the coffee table in front of him.

There was no brewed tea on the coffee table, only a few pieces of paper covered with words.

Gu Zhuo said: "Please look."

As he spoke, he pushed the papers in front of Yu Sheng, and his meaning was very clear.

Yu Sheng didn't say much. He reached out and picked up the papers, then fell into deep thought.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally retracted her gaze and said softly, "It's very troublesome. I need to think about it. I can't give you an answer in a short time."

Gu Zhuo looked at her and said, "Ten more days."

The Dharma Assembly will be held in eleven days.

Yu Sheng said: "No problem."

Gu Zhuo said thank you very seriously.

Yu Sheng shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no need to thank him.

Written on these pieces of paper are all problems concerning the Star Frost Tribulation, which are related to the breakthrough from Dong Zhen to Yang Shen, and are quite tricky and difficult to resolve.

More importantly, some of the details involved in the problem may require several negotiations. If Chen Chi is allowed to continue to assume the responsibilities of a postman, he will probably be exhausted and the problem will not be solved.

In this light, it was reasonable for Gu Zhuo to use an envelope to ask her to come all the way here, but Yu Sheng always felt that this was just an excuse.

However, she did not express her doubts in the end, making herself seem as if she knew nothing, with her eyes as calm as water.

"How have you been these days?"

Yu Sheng thought about it and felt that he should still say a few words of greeting, otherwise it would seem too cold.

The reason why I didn't ask about Yunmengze's funeral was because Pei Jinge had already written back to Shendu, which contained a detailed account, so there was no need to ask again.

What's more, even if she asked, she might not get the truth.

Gu Zhuo said calmly: "I have gained something."

Yu Sheng asked: "What about after this Dharma Assembly?"

Gu Zhuo smiled and said, "If possible, practice meditation for a few years to settle down."

Yu Sheng looked at him deeply and said, "It's better this way."

After saying this, she put away the papers, took out the tea leaves and started to make tea.

The two of them said nothing more after that, and never mentioned the current incident.

Frankly speaking, this crisis is not easy to resolve directly.

After learning the lesson from the bloody incident on Chang Street in Shendu, those forces involved in the incident were very cautious and did not leave any tails that could be caught.

You can't punish people for their words, right?
Gu Zhuo knew very well that he could not let the court go to such an extent, and he also knew the real crux of the matter - that empress.

Pei Jinge once told him that unless he was willing to sever his relationship with Lin Wanyi, the world would judge his position based on this.

This is human nature and it is difficult to change.

There is only one solution to this problem, and that is to become strong.

As long as it is strong enough that no one dares to gossip, like the Cihang Temple which remained standing during this storm, similar things will not happen again.

……

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and Cihang Temple became more and more lively, with practitioners filling the entire mountain.

All those young and powerful people who were favored by the people have appeared, such as Xie Yinglian and Wang Mo.

There is no need to mention the former. The latter's conditions in all aspects just meet the requirements of Cihang Temple, and he is undoubtedly the hot candidate.

Perhaps because he is in Cihang Temple, the number of times people mention the name Gu Zhuo has decreased significantly in recent times.

This reduction is not a calming of public opinion, nor a reduction in curiosity, but rather it is similar to the calm before the storm.

Many people now believe that the reason why Gu Zhuo has not shown up is that he has not yet broken through and his realm is still at the Dongzhen level.

However, he couldn't hide forever, because tomorrow was the beginning of the Dharma Assembly. Given his past character, since he was here, there was no reason for him to leave secretly in disgrace. When tomorrow came, all the answers would be revealed directly, so why bother with this short day?
Late at night on the same day, Yu Sheng finally gave his answers to those questions.

Gu Zhuo read it carefully and had a conversation with him for an hour. After fully exchanging their opinions, he went into seclusion in the Zen room for the last time.

At the same time, Yu Sheng left the Zen room and stood outside the door all night.

In the early morning of the next day, it snowed again in Cihang Temple, and the whole mountain turned white.

The Dharma Assembly is about to begin.

Gu Zhuo pushed the door open and walked out after dawn.

Yu Sheng looked at him, the emotions in his eyes becoming increasingly complicated, but he didn't say anything.

Gu Zhuo smiled slightly and said, "I'm going out for a walk."

Yu Sheng asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Gu Zhuo smiled and shook his head, saying gently: "It's better to be alone."

Yu Sheng no longer insisted.

She watched Gu Zhuo leave until his back disappeared from her sight, but she did not take her eyes off him.

The reason for this is that she clearly sensed that Gu Zhuo had not yet broken through and was still stuck in the realm of Dong Zhen, but she also felt that this was a very unreasonable thing.

Out of respect, she did not ask what was going on and let Gu Zhuo leave.

Not long after, Lin Wanyi came to the door of the Zen room, ready to meet Gu Zhuo.

The two girls looked at each other.

Before they could say anything, the Immaculate Monk appeared immediately.

The little monk was obviously also here to look for his good friend. When he saw the two girls under the eaves, he stopped immediately and didn't dare to go forward.

——Because of that Taoist goddess, he was actually a little afraid of women.

The Immortal Monk asked cautiously, "Where is Gu Zhuoren?"

Lin Wanyi looked at Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng was quiet for a moment, then said softly, "Let's go relax."

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of Lin Wanyi and Wuque Monk changed slightly, and it was obvious that they were thinking of the same thing.

A very sad voice sounded.

"At least……"

The Immortal Monk clasped his hands together, bowed his head and chanted a Buddhist name: "No one should be able to disturb him at this time."

……

The mountain wind blew through Cihang Temple, bringing up endless flying snow.

Gu Zhuo was in the middle of it, following the guidance of the wind and snow, heading in the direction he wanted to go.

Cihang Temple was completely quiet.

To be precise, all the excitement in recent days has been concentrated in one place, in front of the magnificent palace on the top of the mountain.

At this time, as long as he didn't go to the forbidden area of the temple, no monk would care about him.

As for Qing Xiaoyue... no matter the realm or status of this Sky Patrol Director, it is destined that he cannot walk around freely in Cihang Temple, and it is also impossible for him to follow behind and pursue him relentlessly.

This is the opportunity that Gu Zhuo has been waiting for for a long time.

The reason why he went to so much trouble to wait for such a quiet time when no one cared about him was because he wanted to see someone.

——A monk crossing the sea.

He didn't want to let anyone else do this.

At a certain moment, Gu Zhuo walked to the courtyard door of a Zen room.

The courtyard door was not closed. An old monk in thick clothes was standing in the meditation room, staring at the snow until he heard a knock on the door.

The old monk turned his head and looked at Gu Zhuo with cloudy eyes, then forced a smile on his wrinkled old face and said, "Would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?"

"Thanks."

Gu Zhuo laughed and walked towards the meditation room, saying, "I have a few more questions I want to ask you."

The monk narrowed his eyes and said kindly, "Meeting is fate, please feel free to ask."

　I originally wrote more than 3,000 words for this chapter, but when I looked back, I found that a large section was too cumbersome. After hesitating for a long time, I decided to delete it, and then this volume officially came to an end~
