Along the way, looking at the devastated scene, Gu Jiu realized that sometimes the country is still there, but the mountains and rivers are broken before the country.
The moat is no longer visible today, as the ruins of the brick walls have submerged it after the great city walls collapsed.
Xiao Hui jumped inside from the broken part of the city wall, making a series of bleating sounds.
The cry seemed particularly empty in this once prosperous city.
This was once the most prosperous city in the entire Tang Dynasty, with cars flowing like water and horses like dragons, and tall buildings everywhere, reaching into the sky.
Now only ruins are left. The cracks that spread from the ground to the houses look like wounds torn open on a person's body. Although no blood is seen, it is bloody and shocking in the eyes of Gu Jiu and Su Ying.
Su Ying received information that the empress had never left this land since she turned Galan City into a deserted city.
If she was really in there, she would be guarding an empty city alone.
There was wind all around, blowing the dust around like running dragons and snakes.
Xiao Hui carried the two people and the fox on his back, walking towards the depths of Galan City, one step deep and one step shallow.
The only building that still maintains a certain architectural form is the palace deep inside.
After walking through a dilapidated area, a ruined area, and a road full of cracks, Gu Jiu and Su Ying finally saw the woman.
The woman was sitting under the crumbling throne, drinking.
Looking at Su Ying and Gu Jiu who were coming on a donkey, Wu Mei smiled faintly and said, "I thought you had died outside. If you don't come, I'm going to leave."
Gu Jiu got off the donkey, walked over, and responded: "You don't seem to be doing well either."
Wu Mei wore a simple floral dress and casually tied her hair into a ponytail. From her appearance, she looked no different from an ordinary girl, but the temperament she exuded was still so domineering and so unbearable to look at.
Su Ying stopped and did not move forward. Xiao Hui and Yu Weiwei did the same.
The only one who could have a calm conversation with this woman was Gu Jiu, because even though they were hundreds of steps away from each other, they were both feeling a little breathless under the pressure of her unparalleled aura.
The empress just sat there and created a world of her own.
With her ability, it might be difficult for her to enter this world.
In other words, only Gu Jiu can enter.
Faced with this situation, most women would definitely feel frustrated, but Su Ying did not.
She never worries about meaningless things, such as who is stronger.
She is willing to become stronger just to make life easier and happier for those around her, and never to compare herself with others.
Especially strangers.
No matter how powerful the empress is, no matter how she dominates the world, in her eyes, she is just a stranger.
Maybe we will become companions in the future, but that is all in the future.
Looking at Su Ying standing there with a calm expression, the empress raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking that the woman Gu Jiu liked was indeed interesting.
It's more than just an extremely beautiful vase.
Gu Jiu sat down next to the empress. At this time, Su Ying had already asked Yu Weiwei and Xiao Hui to go for a walk aside.
Wu Mei said, "I never thought that you would come to see me with a woman and a fox."
Gu Jiu said: "Did you forget to mention a donkey?"
At this time, a bleating sound came from a distance, showing its presence.
After hearing this voice, even the empress laughed and exclaimed: "I didn't expect your donkey is so special."
Gu Jiu touched his nose and said, "Are you defending a city alone?"
Wu Mei said, "Guarding for nothing, I'm just too lazy to leave."
Here, she no longer calls herself "I", indicating that her identity has changed when facing Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu couldn't help but ask: "Where did that thing outside come from?"
Wu Mei said, "It's below the Galan Temple."
Gu Jiu frowned and said, "How could such an evil thing exist in the Buddhist ancestral temple?"
Wu Mei asked, "What do you think?"
Gu Jiu thought about it and realized that the world was indeed not that simple, so he said, "If that thing is not completely killed, it may become a disaster."
Wu Mei said: "That's not something I should care about."
Gu Jiu's eyes widened as he asked, "Who should care about that?"
Wu Mei said seriously, "Of course it's you. I'm old now, and it's time to rest after I've done this."
"What? The ambitious empress wants to retire? Isn't this what I should do?" Gu Jiu said in surprise.
"You are so young, so the future will naturally be left to you."
"I won't do it. Whoever wants to do it can do it. I'm still waiting to finish this job so I can farm and have kids."
Who would have thought that the two strongest men of the time would sit here and argue about who should retire first.
If other people knew about this, they would probably worry about the future of the human race.
After talking for a while and realizing that neither could win over the other, Gu Jiu said, "Let's talk about these things after we finish this job. How are things going on your side?"
Wu Mei instead looked at him and asked, "What about you?"
Gu Jiu shrugged, looking very relaxed and said, "I found the bitter sea."
Wu Mei also shrugged and said, "We have the first Topaz Starship."
So, it’s done.
After exchanging some details, the two found that they were only two steps away from actually achieving their goal.
The first step is to reach the Sea of Bitterness by relying on the topaz star ship, and the second step is to bring back more star ships.
These two steps seem simple, but there are actually many twists and turns involved.
First of all, it is unknown whether the Topaz Star Boat can bring more practitioners to the Sea of Bitterness. Then, the natives in the Sea of Bitterness will most likely not welcome them, let alone bring back more Topaz Star Boats.
There will be a tough battle in the middle.
The main issue is the level of the natives of the Sea of Bitterness. If there are as many saints as dogs, this battle will probably be difficult.
The fate of the entire Tang people may very well be ruined by this defeat.
Fortunately, they still have a few years left.
There is room for buffering and compromising here, provided that you are strong enough, not to mention being stronger than the natives, but at least being able to intimidate the other party.
Gu Jiu knew that people who were used to peace didn't like fighting.
Those people are of the same origin as them. If they don't accept it, they will probably have no choice but to fight.
Anyway, no one here is going to survive, so even if we die, we want the other party to suffer.
But all this has to wait until the situation is clarified.
The Empress said, "In that case, you and I will act separately. After gathering the people who need to go this time, I will come to pick you up in three months."
Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and said, "Can I take a look at that boat? If it's only the size of a palm, even if you want to go more, it won't fit."
The empress waved her sleeves, and a wall next to her turned into pieces with a bang, revealing the shape of the huge ship.
After seeing this, Gu Jiu said with satisfaction: "Captain, this is a good ship. Please prepare more food when the time comes. My Qingliu Academy does not bring its own food."
The empress frowned slightly and said, "Stingy!"
(End of Volume) Chapter 107: Youth and Life with a Place to Stay
The topaz star ship stood there, about three meters high and more than twenty meters long, more than enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
Gu Jiu just felt that this thing was much bigger and newer than he had imagined.
Under the sunlight, the entire ship, which seems to be made of jade, exudes a faint golden glow, giving people a sense of holiness.
It seems that as long as this ship is there, the holy light will be with you, bah! It seems that the use of this adjective in the world of immortal heroes is not right, but this is how Gu Jiu feels at the moment.
You have to know that the last time he heard the story of the Topaz Starship, it was still in a severely damaged state, and the Empress had obviously spent a lot of effort to repair it.
Although the empress didn't say it, Gu Jiu guessed that it must be related to the huge monster under the Galan Temple.
This naturally includes the Thousand-foot-tall Guanyin statue.
The Thousand-foot-tall Guanyin statue, which the empress spent so much manpower and resources to build, is now completely destroyed. Something must have happened.
Gu Jiu originally wanted to hear the story of the empress, but he always felt that if they exchanged stories, his story was too long and he was lazy, so he thought it was not worth it. So neither side discussed the details and waited to communicate again when they had time in the future.
After all, they still have a long journey ahead of them after March.
Afterwards, Gu Jiu bid farewell to the empress and returned to Qingliu Academy with Su Ying, Yu Weiwei and Xiao Hui.
It was obvious that Xiao Hui missed home very much, so he walked very fast along the way. Gu Jiu felt like he was riding on a high-speed motorcycle.
Yu Weiwei, who was sitting at the front with her hair standing on end, could only sigh inwardly after seeing Xiao Hui's ability, "As a mount, I'm no match for him."
In less than ten days, Xiao Hui carried the two people and the fox for thousands of miles and finally arrived in Miaojiang.
Yu Weiwei was amazed by Xiao Hui's endurance and speed. Even Gu Jiu was a little shocked by Xiao Hui's changes.
He remembered that Xiao Hui was not so fierce before he left.
With this kind of physical strength, even a physical practitioner at the Divine Mind Realm might not be able to match it.
Why don’t you try asking a physical practitioner in the Divine Mind Realm to carry two people and a fox and run like this?
In order to prevent Xiao Hui from getting tired, Gu Jiu naturally injected a little bit of the great energy of the Vairocana Tathagata into Xiao Hui during the journey.
Xiao Hui felt that his body was filled with milky white positive energy, and he couldn't help but bleat with joy.
Along the way, Yu Weiwei had seen Gu Jiu and Su Ying's affectionate expressions so many times that she had become numb.
Xiao Hui seemed to know her depression and was very happy instead.
But Yu Weiwei didn't expect that there were more women waiting for her who could make her depressed.
After passing through a large area of dense rainforest, the Qingliu Academy built in Miaojiang is now in sight.
Even though they were at a distance, Gu Jiu could already hear the voices coming from inside.
The Qingliu League is basically made up of women, beautiful girls. Although he has only been away for a year, it feels like he has been away for a very long time.
The saying "One day without seeing you feels like three years" probably means this.
Although the Qingliu League was established at his call, he was too busy and really had not yet gotten to know these members in depth.
If I have some free time in the future, I might as well learn more about it.
But thinking about how many little goblins were already in the house, his limbs were already sore, and he felt that it was better to sleep.
When Xiao Hui brought Su Ying and Gu Jiu in from the courtyard gate, several members of the Qingliu League who were discussing enthusiastically were stunned.
A moment later, someone ran inside like crazy, saying as he ran, "President Su and Master Gu Jiu are back!"
"what!"
"what!"
"I rely on!"
……
Qingliu Academy suddenly trembled, and then hundreds of Qingliu League members rushed over like a tide.
When they saw Gu Jiu, they quickly started clapping and cheering wildly.
Su Ying quickly got off the donkey and held Yu Weiwei in her arms.
So Gu Jiu and his donkey slowly walked inside, feeling the cheers of the beautiful girls on both sides, as if he was a hero returning.
No, he was a hero.
Since the founding of the Qingliu Alliance, he has been the spiritual leader of this organization. Later, the Qingliu Alliance flourished. Although there were sacrifices, more members found the meaning of cultivation here, and at least half of it was due to his credit.
This time, he went deep into dangerous areas to find a glimmer of hope for the increasingly collapsing Tang Dynasty. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a hero.
At this moment, Gu Jiu jumped off Xiao Hui's back.
He saw several women appear in his sight on the opposite side of the suspension bridge, so much so that his eyes lit up, like a stream illuminated by the morning light.
