Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 378 If you like him, go grab him

Intuition told Gu Xu that these light spots represent the connection between Vulcan and believers.

Through these connections, Vulcan can bestow his power on followers, or take it back.

"If I'm not mistaken, in the past few years, the position of 'Vulcan' has been vacant," Gu Xu thought in his heart, "The object of worship of the people of Great Swallow is actually just an illusory symbol.

"But because 'Hui Lu' and Dayan Vulcan have similar rules and authority and unknown relationship, so I occupy this god position by relying on the 'Hui Lu' rune.

"I have to say that the power of belief is really powerful. Compared with 'God', the number of believers in 'Vulcan' is pitifully small, but I was almost blown away by this force just now.

"It's no wonder that 'Taishang Haotian' wants to create a supreme god with two sides in one body, and he is exhausted to usurp the incense that originally belonged to 'Emperor Ziwei'."

At this time, he turned his head and saw the high priest Chong Li kneeling at his feet, and the priests kneeling in a room.

The development of things obviously exceeded his expectations.

How could he, a wanted criminal fleeing in embarrassment, accidentally become the incarnation of a god in the eyes of this group of people?

Of course, the current Gu Xu is no longer the innocent young man in Yishui County who devoted himself to killing ghosts and seeking longevity.

Even though his heart was full of ups and downs, the expression on his face was still calm and composed.

He was thinking, he is the enemy of the Daqi court, and the country of Dayan is also the enemy of the Daqi court, and he has such a delicate relationship with Dayan - then can he take this opportunity to tie Dayan to himself? chariot?

Although Zhao Yan expressed her willingness to provide him with shelter more than once, this is only Zhao Yan's personal idea after all.If he agreed, in the eyes of the Yan people, he would be just a defector from outside, a guest solicited privately by the future Queen.

But if he got involved with "Vulcan", it would be different.

The people of Dayan will completely regard him as one of their own.

Even Zhao Yan's opponents, at least on the surface, have to enshrine him on the altar and follow his will.

Perhaps such a move is somewhat suspected of being used.

But after he escaped from the border of Daqi with a narrow escape, he has deeply realized that it is difficult to compete with a country with the strength of one person.

Before his wings are fully fledged, he must try to find all possible assistance.

"People of Dayan, you will soon understand that I am fighting for the cause of the liberation of the Great Wilderness Human Race..." He secretly said in his heart.

Thinking of this, he bent down slightly, stretched out his hand to lift up the high priest Chong Li who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a kind but majestic tone: "Get up. You should be very clear that what I care about is never what I care about on the surface. etiquette."

Chong Li trembled slightly and stood up, his eyes suddenly filled with tears.

"So you really didn't abandon us..."

…………

At the same time, Dayan Palace.

Zhao Changying looked at the daughter in front of him and was silent for a while.

Suddenly, he turned his head and glanced out the window: "Yan'er, the guest you brought seems to have made a lot of noise in the Fire God Temple just now. If I'm not wrong, he is helping you awaken That young man named Gu Xu of blood, right?"

"That's right." Zhao Yan nodded.

At this moment, she also clearly felt that there was a scorching power rising in the direction of the Fire Temple, which strongly resonated with her blood.

Zhao Yan was not surprised that her father easily guessed Gu Xu's identity.

As a strong man in the realm of "True Monarch", Zhao Changying's spiritual power has expanded to the limit, he can almost cover an entire city, knowing what happened in the city.

Gu Xu's mask can block divination and observation spells, but it can't stop Zhao Changying's guesses based on experience.

"It seems that he really has a deep relationship with our great 'Vulcan'," Zhao Changying continued, "Yan'er, you have been with him these days, have you considered keeping him in Dayan? "

"I tried to recruit him, but he didn't give me a definite answer." Zhao Yan replied.

"The word 'recruiting' is too disrespectful for someone like Gu Xu." Zhao Changying smiled faintly, "Even Luo Chuan served him tea and water respectfully in front of him. .

"It is impossible for us to expect him to be our subordinate and let him be loyal to us. We can only give sufficient conditions, 'please' him to stay and let him become one of our own."

Zhao Yan kept silent, but she agreed with her father's statement in her heart.

In the process of getting along with Gu Xu, she can feel that Gu Xu treats people politely on the surface, but in fact he is arrogant—especially when he talks about gods and emperors, there is no such thing in his tone. The awe of ordinary people seems to be discussing an ordinary household chore.

What's more, Gu Xu also told her that the ruler of his palace is "Ziweixing"...

"How do you feel about him?" Zhao Changying suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

"Ah? It's okay." Zhao Yan was caught off guard.

"If you let him be your husband, would you like it?"

Zhao Yan was stunned for a second, but she didn't expect her father to talk about it for a long time, and finally turned the topic around to her marriage.

"Didn't I just tell you?" She retorted reflexively, "I hate being in close contact with men."

"Then you were in front of the palace gate just now, and Gu Xu grabbed your arm, how should you explain it?" The corners of Zhao Changying's mouth rose slightly, and there was a hint of youthful mischievousness in his smile.

"This..." Zhao Yan curled her lips, feeling that this is a little difficult to explain, "I just regard him as a good friend. Hmm... Maybe I have a little appreciation for him, but he already has I have a fiancée with deep feelings, and I can't do anything to him."

"If the news I got is correct, he has already been annulled by the woman."

"Yeah, it's a divorce, and he told me about it. But it's due to external factors after all. I can see that he never forgets his fiancée, and he probably thinks about going back to the capital and killing Emperor Tianxing all the time. , resume the leading edge."

"Yan'er, you are wrong," Zhao Changying said earnestly, "Men are all creatures who want to save face. Even if he really still misses that girl, it is impossible for him to marry her again."

"Why?" Zhao Yan was puzzled.

"If I'm not mistaken, he only told you about the divorce, and didn't tell you the details of the divorce process," Zhao Changying explained, "According to the intelligence I sent to Luojing City, Shi Lei from Qianhu in Laizhou Prefecture, Gu Xu's prospective father-in-law, immediately called the matchmaker to his home after Gu Xu was ordered to arrest him, and in front of them, he tore up the engagement and burned the betrothal gift that Gu Xu had sent earlier. .

"After that, it was also because Shi Lei disclosed Gu Xu's information to Princess Zhaoning that Gu Xu's whereabouts were exposed in Jingxing.

"You should know that in Daqi's customs, it is extremely humiliating for the woman to repent of her marriage. It is also written in "Qi Lv", 'The woman's elder repents of her marriage. , stick one hundred'.

"Shi Lei's resignation of his daughter's marriage is a special case, and he is not punished by law. But simply speaking from his behavior of burning the dowry, he slapped the man in the face in public. Normally, it is enough to make the two families feud. "

Zhao Yan took a deep breath and remained silent.

In the past, Gu Xu only told her that the divorce was just to clear up the relationship and protect Shi Xiaohan from being implicated; but he didn't know that there were so many details hidden in it.

Especially in the battle of Jingxing, she saw that Gu Xu was outnumbered by Daqi officials, his body was covered with wounds, and his life was at stake.

Gu Xu's former quasi-father-in-law was the accomplice who drove him into desperation.

It's just that Gu Xu doesn't seem to know this.

And when he mentioned Shi Xiaohan and her family, there was no complaint in his tone. Instead, he was full of understanding of their situation, and at most he sighed, "Fate makes people, fate is hard."

Gu Xu, Gu Xu, you are so kind.Zhao Yan sighed silently.

In a vague way, she was suddenly a little unwilling to let Gu Xu leave her side and go back to Luojing to continue the relationship, for fear that he would suffer such harm in the future.

"Yan'er, I know that you have been a proud person since you were a child, and you are not willing to change the truth that you believe easily, and naturally you are not willing to admit your feelings in your heart.

"But your eyes can't lie. When you were outside the palace, your eyes kept falling on him, as if there was a magnet on him that could firmly attract your attention.

"When I was talking just now, I also saw that you were worried about him, nervous about him, and frowning tightly.

"I've never seen you look like that to anyone else.

"Even your biological father never enjoyed such treatment."

Zhao Changying sighed softly, and continued.

"It's not that exaggerated, is it? Don't make it up." Zhao Yan frowned, as if she still didn't want to admit it.

"Whether there is, you touch your heart, and think about it carefully."

Zhao Yan hummed softly, but her right hand couldn't help touching her chest.

At this moment, she did notice that her heart was pounding.

However, she is too broad-minded, and she really can't figure out the specific frequency of her heartbeat.

"You grew up listening to the legends of the heroes of the past in the Northern Territory. You should be very clear that 'the strong are respected' has always been our Dayan tradition," Zhao Changying paused, and then said, "As long as you are strong enough , you will have the priority to get the right to choose all resources, including pills, money and beauties.

"As disciples of the Zhao family, if we want something, we just grab it ourselves, why worry about other people's opinions and hand it over to others?
"Back then, I fought with others on the edge of the cliff for your mother. In order to chase your great-grandfather, your great-grandmother single-handedly ambushed him on the mountain road he must pass, blocking him like a female bandit.

"Shi Lei's daughter, I've heard others talk about it, she's just a short, yellow-haired girl who hasn't matured yet. Only a young virgin who is in love will like that kind of girl. My daughter is better than her in appearance and strength. , if you want a man, are you afraid you won't be able to grab him?

"Besides, from the moment she broke the engagement, it was equivalent to having voluntarily withdrawn from the competition..."

"Father!" Zhao Yan sat up straight and frowned.

Although she was born in the north, she also knows that the people in the north are tough, but it may be because she spent most of her childhood in Luojing City. She still inevitably felt a little awkward.

"Well, I'm not urging you either." Seeing Zhao Yan's appearance, Zhao Changying chuckled again, "You must be tired after running around for so many days. Go to your room first, change clothes, and rest. After a while, let's think about this issue seriously!"

Zhao Yan gave a "hmm", nodded, and then walked out of the room absent-mindedly.

Looking at her leaving back, Zhao Changying let out a long breath.

He once thought that with his daughter's temper, she might spend her whole life with brothel courtesans.Unexpectedly, before she died, she would wait for a day when she would be emotional like other girls.

Thinking of that young man named Gu Xu, he felt rather complicated.

On the one hand, like all the father-in-laws in the world, he felt that the little cabbage he had raised so hard would be taken away by pigs;

On the other hand, he knew that Gu Xu's identity and potential must be extraordinary——

From Luo Chuan's attitude towards him, it can be seen that Gu Xu's future realm will at least start as a saint, and there is a high probability that he will be above a saint.

And with Gu Xu's current unbelievable practice speed, it will not take him a few years to reach the realm of a saint.

Now that Da Qi and Dayan were enemies, Zhao Changying himself was running out of time.

Although Dayan still has a certain background, it will still be very difficult to resist the Daqi Dynasty with many strong men.

If Gu Xu is willing to stay in Dayan, then after he is full-fledged, he will definitely become a powerful support for Zhao Yan.

But the most important thing is the connection between Gu Xu and "Vulcan".

With the spiritual perception ability of the "True Monarch", Zhao Changying already knew everything that happened in the "Fire Temple" today.

Although he didn't know the existence of the "Huilu" rune, nor how far Gu Xu could control the authority of the "Vulcan", he could feel the faint throbbing of his blood power, and he could also predict that Gu Xuyang would What a lofty status it will have in the hearts of the "Vulcan" believers in the future.

Maybe in the near future, Gu Xu's prestige in the northern border will become higher than that of Lord Dayan.

Zhao Changying understands that a person like this cannot be let go and let him drift to other forces—as long as he leaves the northern border, it will definitely be a huge threat to Dayan; Dealing with him too hard, aroused his resentment.

The best way is to make him his own.

It just so happened that Gu Xu was born as a commoner and had no relatives or influence behind him.

Coincidentally, Zhao Yan also happened to have some affection for him.

That's why he bluntly mentioned the matter of marriage in front of Zhao Yan, hoping that the matter would be settled before his death.

Thinking of this, Zhao Changying raised her head, and said to the guard guarding the door: "After the friend that Yan'er brought comes out of the temple, you invite him here and say that I want to see him and talk to him. Have a good talk."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
