Chapter 22: Finding Xiaolongnu to Complain

~7 min read 1,371 words

Hong Qigong took Ouyang Feng down the mountain to find Huang Yaoshi.

Gu Qing and Yang Guo also went down Huashan at this time. Although there was no plot of Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng teaching their lifelong Wu Gong before they died on this trip to Huashan, Gu Qing and Yang Guo exchanged Wu Gong and both benefited a lot.

After going down Huashan, Gu Qing had a gloomy face, while Yang Guo was laughing and insisted on following Gu Qing, determined to take a good look at Gu Qing's face.

"Yang Guo, you have read a lot of books with Huang Rong. Have you heard the saying, 'Misfortune, that is where happiness depends; happiness, that is where misfortune hides. Who knows its end?'"

Gu Qing rode his donkey, asking Yang Guo with a straight face.

"What a coincidence, Aunt Guo didn't teach me the Tao Te Ching."

Yang Guo said happily.

Gu Qing nodded and rode the donkey toward Zhongnan Mountain. After taking a big circle outside and getting Hong Qigong's affirmation, Gu Qing could return to Zhongnan Mountain to report.

Yang Guo also rode a donkey, following Gu Qing unhurriedly.

When approaching Zhongnan Mountain, Gu Qing suddenly stopped the donkey and looked at Yang Guo quietly. Yang Guo said happily at this time, "Brother Gu, I want to follow you. After you return to Zhongnan Mountain to report, we will go to Huang Yaoshi's sect together and see who can marry Miss Cheng Ying home."

Yang Guo was deliberately angering Gu Qing.

"Good, you have guts!"

Gu Qing nodded and rode the donkey toward the back of Zhongnan Mountain first.

Yang Guo followed Gu Qing unhurriedly, walking into Zhongnan Mountain again. Yang Guo had no nostalgia. He had stayed in this place for too long with his youthful heart, and the time he had left Zhongnan Mountain was too short. Returning to this place was as usual. Watching Gu Qing walk toward the back mountain, he didn't care. Until Gu Qing walked to a low house, Yang Guo suddenly straightened his waist and widened his eyes.

He saw traces of someone living here and immediately thought of Xiaolongnu.

"Yang Guo, your aunt is not fond of excitement by nature. For her, there is only this pure land of the Ancient Tomb in the world. You say, where can she go after leaving you?"

Gu Qing suddenly asked.

Yang Guo felt as if he had been splashed with a basin of cold water. His brain cleared up instantly. Looking at the house in front of him, he immediately got off the donkey and ran over. Looking at the display of utensils in the house, he knew Xiaolongnu was indeed here. His eyes grew hot, and he almost shed tears.

"Woo woo woo..."

Gu Qing's crying voice came from outside, saying, "Miss Long, it's so good to see you. I want to congratulate you!"

Yang Guo was only thinking of Xiaolongnu at this time. He pushed open the door and went outside. He saw that behind Zhongnan Mountain, in the secluded valley, on the snow, Xiaolongnu was all in mist and ice, like a phantom or an immortal.

At this moment, Yang Guo felt that the recent displacement had finally reached its end.

Xiaolongnu frowned slightly, not knowing why Gu Qing would cry when facing her. At this moment, she heard movement again. Her gaze crossed Gu Qing and looked at Yang Guo behind him. Their eyes met, causing a warmth to rise in Xiaolongnu's heart.

"Miss Long, Yang Jian found his godfather and also has someone he likes. He asked his godfather to propose marriage. Now he is ready to get married."

Gu Qing wiped the tears on his face and said, "I am really happy for him! He really had it too hard!"

Yang Guo had already flown toward Xiaolongnu and happened to hear Gu Qing say such words. His gaze had originally been directly facing Xiaolongnu, and he could feel the warmth in Xiaolongnu's gaze, but in this instant, he felt that Xiaolongnu's gaze was colder than the snow on this Zhongnan Mountain.

"Yang Jian."

Gu Qing walked over, patted Yang Guo on the shoulder, and said, "I still have to go to the Quanzhen Sect to report. You master and disciple should have a good reunion."

While speaking, Gu Qing wiped his tears again.

Yang Guo felt his whole body go cold. At this moment, he understood the true meaning of Gu Qing's "Misfortune, that is where happiness depends; happiness, that is where misfortune hides. Who knows its end?".

At the same time, Yang Guo wished he could slap himself twice. He didn't even understand Xiaolongnu as well as Gu Qing, and was just simply brought to Xiaolongnu by Gu Qing, and then severely complained about.

"Guo'er is getting married, why are you crying?"

Xiaolongnu's voice was without joy or sorrow. She skipped Yang Guo and questioned Gu Qing.

She didn't understand why Gu Qing wanted to cry.

"He snatched love by force..."

Gu Qing seemed unable to bear this reality and ran away crying.

Xiaolongnu's gaze fell on Yang Guo again.

Her gaze had the sharpness of breaking ice and cutting snow.

In this instant, Yang Guo felt he was about to start being displaced again.

Quanzhen Sect, Chongyang Palace.

When Gu Qing came up to report, his spirit was calm. He handed all the "depositions" collected recently, as well as Hong Qigong's signature on them, to Qiu Chuji and said, "Grandmaster, so the deaths of Zhen Zhibing and Zhao Zhiping were all a Mongol conspiracy!"

Qiu Chuji was no stranger to Mongol experts. When Xiaolongnu was eighteen, Huo Du came here to make trouble. Now seeing various depositions and Hong Qigong's signature on them, Qiu Chuji naturally believed it deeply and handed the letters to the others of the Quanzhen Sect to read one by one.

"These Mongols have already occupied two-thirds of the Great Song, and their territory is so large that horses can run for several years, but they still cannot satisfy their ambition. Such a secret conspiracy is not only dangerous for my Quanzhen Sect, but also dangerous for the Great Song."

Liu Chuxuan saw these letters and said angrily.

"What should we do now?"

Wang Chuyi was worried. If it were just him, Wang Chuyi would naturally fight the Mongols, but there were thousands of people in Quanzhen, and they also had to consider the disciples.

"In the disciple's opinion, our Quanzhen Sect should break into pieces."

Gu Qing was listening on the side and suddenly suggested, "The so-called 'save the land and lose the people, both are lost; save the people and lose the land, both are saved'. We Quanzhen disciples are all Wu Lin experts. Fighting the Mongols on the battlefield has no great advantage, but if we move, the Mongols can't do anything to us."

"The disciple's opinion is that each of the Quanzhen Seven should lead a lineage and blossom in all directions. This can also expand the momentum of the Quanzhen Sect."

The Quanzhen Seven in history passed down many Quanzhen branches, such as the Yuxian Sect, Qingjing Sect, Longmen Sect, Nanwu Sect, Suishan Sect, Huashan Sect, etc.

Gu Qing also hoped that the Quanzhen Sect could break into pieces. For Gu Qing himself, this could be considered one less weakness, and he didn't have to worry about implicating the Quanzhen Sect.

On the other hand, after the Quanzhen Sect broke into pieces, each sect would have its own new rules. Gu Qing could add some rules at will, and he could marry a wife in a justified way.

Gu Qing, this reformist, was directly going to reform the Quanzhen Sect out of existence.

The Quanzhen Seven looked at each other. The foundation of the Quanzhen Sect was of great importance to them, but the Mongols wanting to deal with them was indeed imminent.

"Do you want us to learn from Zhao Gou?"

Hao Datong shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Zhao Gou never thought of coming back."

Gu Qing said, "And our Quanzhen Sect's departure is for a better return."

Gu Qing had prepared enough words to persuade the Quanzhen Seven.
