Two treasure maps

In the unreachable heaven and earth of the twenty-eighth heaven, the little golden dragon seemed to be suffocated by an invisible mountain. The pressure here was even stronger than that of the Taiji Palace on the twenty-sixth heaven, leaving it almost unable to speak. However, when Guo Xiu's figure appeared in its sight, a light immediately flashed in its eyes. It struggled and swam hard, and finally came to Guo Xiu's side, gently wrapped around his fingers, as if looking for a trace of warmth and comfort.

Guo Xiu looked at the little golden dragon, and his heart was filled with emotion. He took it directly back to the twenty-fifth heaven, where the pressure was relatively light, and the little golden dragon gradually recovered its vitality. It took a while to calm down, and then spoke carefully: "Meet the master."

Guo Xiu glanced at it coldly and said, "Don't give me this empty talk. Tell me about the sophistry between you and Taishang Laojun."

The little golden dragon was startled, staring at Guo Xiu with wide eyes, and said innocently: "Master, I really didn't argue with Taishang Laojun. He was very kind. I told him that there was a secret in my dragon skin that was related to the safety of the heavens, but he didn't even ask, but just told me not to do anything that would harm the heavens and the human world."

Guo Xiu shook his head helplessly, gently tapped the little golden dragon's forehead, and said, "You stupid dragon, who do you think Taishang Laojun is? You have explained it so clearly, how could he not know your secret?"

The little golden dragon lowered his head in grievance and said, "Master, you said last time that you would definitely set me free, and I have been waiting for five hundred years. I finally smelled your scent, but it was a little girl of seven or eight years old. I thought it was you in disguise, so I followed her. I didn't expect her to go to the twenty-sixth heaven. The wind there is particularly terrifying. It's so difficult for me!"

Guo Xiu sighed with emotion, thinking to himself: You are a golden dragon that came close to me to help me go to heaven, how could I not be on guard against you? But he consoled him, "I have never had the chance to go to heaven. Since I am not going to heaven, I naturally don't need you. Now that I am going to heaven and need you, but I can't find you, it's so hard for me!"

After listening to Guo Xiu's words, the little golden dragon felt that it made sense, and the grievance in his heart was slightly relieved. It lay obediently on Guo Xiu's fingers and wanted to wrap around his wrist, but was gently stopped by Guo Xiu.

Guo Xiu frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. A sly look flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of a good idea. He raised a seductive smile and said softly to the little golden dragon: "Little guy, if you are willing to tell me the secret of dragon skin, I will let you cling to me, how about it?" As he spoke, he gently nodded his wrist, as if to signal the little golden dragon.

When the little golden dragon heard this, it immediately raised its head, its eyes full of astonishment. It seemed a little bit unconvinced, and asked back: "You really don't know this secret?" In its mind, Guo Xiu must know this secret! Didn't he go to heaven? How could he not know?

Guo Xiu looked at the little golden dragon's astonished expression and couldn't help but feel a little funny. He shook his head helplessly, thinking that this little golden dragon's brain circuit was really strange. He couldn't help but say, "You little guy, you didn't tell me, how could I know your secret?"

The little golden dragon then realized that he might have misunderstood something, and he quickly explained, "It's like this, when I was pulling the sprocket for the Jade Emperor, he found out that I was practicing Jiejiao's skills, so he sent me a message, asking me to wait for you in the Ninth Heaven and take you to the Heavenly Palace."

After listening to the little golden dragon's explanation, Guo Xiu suddenly understood. He said that he just wanted to establish power in the ninth heaven, but was unexpectedly brought to the heaven on the twenty-fifth heaven by the little golden dragon. It turned out that all this was arranged by the Jade Emperor. He took the opportunity to check out the situation in the heaven, but found that the twenty-fifth heaven was too different from the heaven where he originally lived, and it only reached the immortal level.

Thinking of this, Guo Xiu couldn't help but become more curious about the Jade Emperor. He asked curiously, "Why did the Jade Emperor ask you to take me to the Heavenly Palace?" He had not met the Jade Emperor alone at the wrong time when he broke into the Heavenly Palace. He happened to catch up with Jiang Shan getting married, and then the bride was killed. The whole Heavenly Palace was in chaos, so he had never met the Jade Emperor alone.

When the little golden dragon heard this, a hint of mystery flashed in its eyes. It seemed to know something, but it didn't dare to reveal it easily. It hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't tell you this casually. However, I can take you to see the Jade Emperor, and maybe he will tell you the answer himself."

After many twists and turns, the Jade Emperor and Xiu Emperor finally met.

The Jade Emperor, the Lord of Heaven, has a majestic and solemn appearance, exuding an unquestionable noble aura. His face is like a carefully carved jade, with clear contours and elegant lines. Between his eyebrows, there is a sense of wisdom, as if he can see through everything in the world. His eyes are as deep as stars, shining with the light of wisdom, as if he can see through all falsehood and truth.

His demeanor was solemn and calm, and every move was full of majesty and power. He sat on the dragon throne, wearing a golden dragon robe embroidered with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns, symbolizing his supreme status.

He wore a dazzling jade crown on his head, inlaid with various gems, sparkling with dazzling light. Two long jade necklaces hung on both sides of the jade crown, swaying gently with his movements, adding a bit of fairy spirit and majesty.

The hall was empty and so quiet that only the sound of Xiu Huang's footsteps could be heard. He looked around and realized that the Jade Emperor had obviously made preparations. Xiu Huang thought about it and knew that it must be Taishang Laojun who had passed on the message in advance, asking the Jade Emperor to clear the hall.

Emperor Xiu gently threw the little golden dragon in his hand to the ground, looked at the Jade Emperor sitting on the throne with a smile, and said lightly: "Jade Emperor, do you want to see me?"

The Jade Emperor stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Master."

Guo Xiu looked at the Jade Emperor, pursed his lips, and couldn't help feeling a little confused. He didn't expect the Jade Emperor to treat him so respectfully, which was totally beyond his expectations. After a while, he said, "You are from Jiejiao."

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "That's right. I have never revealed the Jiejiao skills, so no one knows about this."

Hearing this, Guo Xiu suddenly understood. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Erlang Shen Yang Jian created the fake heaven because he knew your identity as Jiejiao."

The Jade Emperor still smiled and said, "He has no evidence."

Guo Xiu nodded, already having the answer in his mind. He asked again, "What's the matter with the treasure map?"

The Jade Emperor stepped down from the throne and looked at Guo Xiu. He waved his sleeves and a table and chairs suddenly appeared in the hall. He asked Guo Xiu to sit down and said, "Master, please sit down and wait for me."

Guo Xiu didn't hesitate to sit down and took a sip of the tea. The tea was fragrant and tasted familiar. Yes, it was exactly his taste. However, he had already changed his taste. This cup of tea made him feel an inexplicable emotion.

The Jade Emperor began to recount the past events: "More than a thousand years ago, Zhong Kui went to heaven. No matter what he looked like at the time, my master could tell that he was your son, so he arranged for me to become the Jade Emperor. Five hundred years ago, my great uncle came to heaven, but I didn't have time to explain it at the time. My master also invited my great uncle to the twenty-sixth heaven to help me, so as to prevent the Buddhists, Taoists and false gods from causing chaos in heaven."

Guo Xiu listened quietly, without showing any emotion on his face. He knew that as an elder, he could not lose his composure in front of the younger generation.

The Jade Emperor continued, "Three hundred years ago, the glass bead from your previous life appeared in the world, but that glass bead could no longer support the coming catastrophe, so Master wanted to know who was framing you in the first place, so he had the glass bead stolen."

Guo Xiu lowered his eyes and played with the teacup in his hand, with a complex emotion in his heart. He didn't expect that there would be so many follow-up secrets to what happened back then.

The Jade Emperor continued, "The treasure map was made by my wife out of love for her son. It has nothing to do with the previous dynasty. She just wanted to leave some wealth for her son, but she didn't expect it would cause so much trouble."

Guo Xiu put the teacup in his hand down on the tea table with a loud "bang". The tea splashed out and wet the table. He stared at the Jade Emperor coldly, with a sharp light in his eyes. His voice was low and firm: "It seems reasonable and logical, but because it is too reasonable, it seems unreasonable. Just like the layout I set up back then, who is the one you set up this time?"

The Jade Emperor was shocked when he heard what Guo Xiu said. He had heard that Master Bo was smart and sharp, and seeing him today, he was indeed as good as his reputation. He quickly put away his smile, his expression became serious, and he replied respectfully, "It's Guo Lingli."

"Why?" Guo Xiu asked with a frown.

The Jade Emperor said in a deep voice: "Because she is a variable."

"A treasure map, two twin formations, three families fighting for it, four forces vying for it. It just happens to fall into my territory. What do you want to do with me?" Guo Xiu asked coldly.

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor quickly bowed again and replied respectfully, "I just want to ask Master Uncle to protect Jing Yuan."

Guo Xiu looked at the sincere eyes of the Jade Emperor, but he didn't completely believe his words. He said coldly: "You didn't tell the truth."

The Jade Emperor was silent for a while, as if he was hesitating whether to tell the truth. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, we want Guo Lingli to join our Jiejiao sect."

When Guo Xiu heard this answer, he was moved. He looked at the Jade Emperor deeply, said nothing, picked up the little golden dragon on the ground and disappeared in the hall.

He knew in his heart that things would develop in the direction they had set. Just as he had no way to escape the fate set by others, Guo Lingli was afraid that he would have no way to escape his future fate.

However, although the master's idea is good, I am afraid that he has already been pre-empted by his great uncle, the Jade Emperor.
