Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 349 Brother, your waist is so slim!

Xiaoqing has a fiery temper; she's quick to explode and seeks revenge. After Gu Qing offended the Prince of Liang's mansion, she immediately sought a way to get revenge. The two are quite similar, which made Xiaoqing feel closer to Gu Qing. However, she then thought of the mother snake embracing and being intimate with him, which made her distance herself from Gu Qing again.

Hearts are close, but bodies are far apart.

Gu Qing gazed at the imperial city, listening to the turmoil within, and felt a great sense of relief. Having traveled through time, he had finally caused Zhao Gou some trouble.

"Let's go to the Liang Prince's Mansion."

Gu Qing turned around, about to leave with Xiao Qing, when a red light suddenly materialized before him, forming a young boy with brows furrowed and eyes cold, shouting, "How dare you!"

"So it was the Fire-Controlling God Lord in front of the Crimson Emperor's gate."

Gu Qing was familiar with the names of the gods and immortals of the ten directions. Upon seeing the boy before him, he already knew that he was the boy in front of the Crimson Emperor. He bowed with neither arrogance nor humility, but addressed the boy as "Divine Lord" and said, "I am Gu Qing, a humble Daoist. As a newcomer to the Dao Court, it is truly an honor to see the true face of the Divine Lord."

The emperor is called the Son of Heaven. In addition to having a father on earth, they also have a father in heaven. This is called the "Heavenly Emperor," which means that they were born through the connection between their mother and the gods in heaven. Therefore, there are often many extraordinary phenomena at the time of the emperor's birth.

The Red Emperor of the Song Dynasty was worshipped by the Song emperors. This Red Emperor also protected the emperors, making them covered in red light and surrounded by purple aura, so that they and the cultivation world would not be harmed.

The Fire-Holding Boy's gaze was intense as he scrutinized the boy from head to toe. He asked, "Judging from your aura, you are of the same kind, a natural Daoist physique. Why then do you resort to scheming to offend the gods?"

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report."

Gu Qing said, “The Liang Prince’s Mansion is greedy, cruel, tyrannical, treacherous, and deceitful, oppressing the people to an extreme degree. What I did was merely to skillfully guide and explain the truth to the world. What the Liang Prince’s Mansion suffered was the consequence of its own evil deeds. This is the way of the gods to teach and warn the world, and we should follow the will of the gods. As for playing tricks, I only drew the bow and pulled the arrow. The explosive was the gunpowder, and the letter was the pen and ink. I did not use any divine means. I ask the gods to see the truth.”

What Gu Qing said was very logical and reasonable.

"Sharp teeth and fangs indicate a long and arduous journey."

The Fire-Holding Boy gave a cold laugh.

Xiaoqing was furious when she heard that the Fire-Holding Boy was disobedient, but Gu Qing reached out and grabbed her hand. Then, seeing the bitterness on Gu Qing's face, she stepped forward and said, "What the Divine Lord said is very true. I am full of cunning. Even if I have a fortuitous encounter, I still cannot understand the truth."

During this conversation, Gu Qing handed a book to the Fire-Holding Boy.

The Fire-Holding Boy took the book and flipped through it slightly under his sleeve. He saw that it was a secret technique called "Mysterious Fire Chain," which was the chain that trapped Xiao Bai in the Mysterious Fire Altar in the world of Jade Dynasty. This secret technique had many unique aspects, and the Fire-Holding Boy was able to draw inferences from it and gain a lot of insights.

The scroll was tucked into his sleeve, and the fire-keeper's expression changed. He said, "On the other hand, all of this is the fault of the Liang Prince's Mansion, and they have no one else to blame but themselves."

"..."

Xiaoqing was speechless when she saw the boy's expression suddenly change.

"Let's leave it at that for today."

The Fire-Holding Boy looked at Gu Qing and said, "Your name has already been recorded in the Heavenly Court, and you are not far from achieving enlightenment. However, if you place a jar of the strongest wine in all of Lin'an at home on Qingming Festival, light a censer nearby, and place a hundred flowers in the courtyard, your position may change more quickly."

This is a hint to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing quickly cupped his hands in thanks to the fire-wielding boy.

"You don't need to go to the Liang Prince's Mansion."

The Fire-Holding Boy said calmly, "The path of the gods emphasizes maintaining stillness; one must not lose one's primordial spirit."

Gu Qing cupped his hands in thanks again.

The Fire-Holding Boy vanished in a flash of red light before Gu Qing and Xiao Qing.

"This immortal..."

Xiaoqing gritted her teeth in resentment.

"You mustn't say such things!" Gu Qing solemnly stopped Xiao Qing to prevent her from slandering the gods.

After all, that's how the path to immortality is; you need to cultivate your inner strength and build relationships in order to go far.

Xiaoqing gritted her teeth and bit Gu Qing's hand. She intended to hurt Gu Qing, but when she bit him, she felt Gu Qing's muscles were smooth and fragrant. Before she could exert any force, she went limp and felt a warm sensation at her waist as Gu Qing embraced her.

The two looked at each other, a hint of romance forming between them, until the atmosphere became awkward, when Gu Qing said, "Brother, your waist is so slim."

"Pooh!"

Xiaoqing broke free from Gu Qing, lightly stepped forward, and disappeared into the darkness.

Gu Qing sniffed the spot on the back of her hand where she had been bitten, smiled slightly, composed herself, and headed home.

There are too many gods and immortals in this world. Gu Qing dared not say many things involving gods and immortals, for fear of causing trouble unintentionally. Besides, people accept gifts and do favors. He couldn't very well join Xiao Qing in cursing: "You country bumpkin from Heaven, coming to Hangzhou to make a living."

The strongest wine...

What's the highest alcohol content of any liquor?

Could industrial alcohol be used as a substitute?
It's a bit like a sealed auction; once you're determined to win, you're bound to overdo it.

Imperial City.

The current emperor, Zhao Gou, held the letter in his hand, his hand trembling slightly as he looked at the words on it… The four words “abandoning the Central Plains” felt like a slap in the face to him.

Although Zhao Gou was a seafaring hero and a chivalrous warrior against the Song Dynasty, you can't say that!

"This is bullying!"

Zhao Gou flung the paper aside and roared, "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly and catch this person!" After saying this, Zhao Gou felt dizzy and slumped into a chair. His ministers and the imperial physician rushed forward to comfort him, give him some soup, and only then did Zhao Gou regain his senses.

"Bring out everything: the Jade Bottle, the Divine Music Diagram, the Fiery Pearl, the Eight Trigrams Diagram!"

Zhao Gou said sternly, "If he comes to collect it tomorrow, I'll see how he does it!"

Zhao Gou was furious. Once his power was challenged and he was powerless to do anything about it, his authority would be greatly diminished. Zhao Gou had to save face and suppress the public opinion this time.

The palace staff immediately inventoried the treasury to search for these four items, but the name was only found on the list of tributes from foreign countries; it was not actually in the treasury.

"No?"

In his initial rage, Zhao Gou calmed down and realized it was a terrible conspiracy, specifically targeting his reputation. The other party had already succeeded in obtaining the item and was now provoking him again...

This will ruin his reputation no matter what.

Zhao Gou had no son, so he couldn't help but have wild thoughts. While he was thinking, he unconsciously walked to the place of the God of Life and stared blankly at the statue of the Red Emperor.

"My darlings, my darlings, where are you all?"

Zhao Gou muttered to himself, pondering who in the court wanted to usurp the throne. In the blink of an eye, he had gone through all the court officials. Zhao Gou was not good at foreign wars, but he was a real expert in civil wars. He was capable of enabling the Southern Song Dynasty to establish itself in the south and continue to exist.

As he was pondering this, a piece of paper fluttered down and landed right in front of Zhao Gou. It was a torn page from some book, but the words "King of Liang" were written on it.

Zhao Gou suddenly looked up at the statue of the Red Emperor before him and kowtowed repeatedly.

This is a divine revelation.

Zhao Gou immediately summoned his men and ordered them to investigate the Liang Prince's residence. If it turned out to be true, then he would take strong action against the Liang Prince's residence.
