Killing God - Chapter 401
Chapter 401 Two Immortals
Gu Lingyun was speechless. He didn’t know what to say for a moment. At the same time, he saw the green pole leaning against the black sandalwood desk. On the white cloth, there were the words “Immortal Guidance” written on it. However, they were truly extraordinary. Wasn’t he the one who personally wrote these words?
On the other side, Prime Minister Zhou waited for a moment, but did not hear Gu Lingyun speak. He smiled and asked again, “Little Gu, how do you think I wrote these words?”
Gu Lingyun took a deep breath, then smiled and said seriously, “Your handwriting is strong and relaxed. There are laws and regulations, but it is as if there is no restriction in the sky. It is the calligraphy that has reached the state of free will. Lingyun admires, admires, admires.”
At the end of her sentence, her cheeks flushed slightly, looking very moving and beautiful.
“Hahahaha” Xiangshi Zhou smiled brightly. His laughter was very happy. He nodded repeatedly and smiled, “You’re such a talkative girl. Hahahaha, not bad, not bad.”
Gu Lingyun smiled.
The Prime Minister surnamed Zhou smiled and rolled up the “calligraphy authentic” on the table. Then, he solemnly handed it to Gu Lingyun and said, “It’s rare for you to have such an eye. I’ll give you this word.” “Don’t underestimate this word,” he said with a snort and arrogant expression. “The few old men on the other side of Tianhong City have not dealt with me all day. They have changed their ways of mocking and slandering me. I have been so angry that I haven’t given them a single word for so many years. I’ll make an exception if I give it to you today.”
The corner of Gu Lingyun’s mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the ink words on the white paper in his hand. After a moment of daze, he seemed to have gathered his courage and revealed a sweet smile again. He smiled and said, “Thank you very much for this gift from the old deity. The spirit cloud inscriptions are so gracious that it will be carefully mounted and hung in this study room to observe your calligraphy style day and night.”
“Hahahaha” Xiangshi Zhou smiled from ear to ear. He seemed to be in an extremely good mood, and the more he looked at Gu Lingyun, the more pleasing he became. He nodded his head repeatedly with an expression that was not bad but could be cultivated. But after a moment, He suddenly rolled his eyes. As if he had thought of an idea, he suddenly clapped his hands and said, “Eh, this old man suddenly remembered something. If this word is only hung in this study, it seems to be a little … Well, I think there are quite a few people in the shop below. It’s better to hang it on the high wall so that many cultivators in the past can experience it and add some momentum to your branch. What do you think?”
Gu Lingyun shook his hand and almost threw the piece of paper on the ground. His face turned pale. But after all, she was extremely intelligent. With a smile on her face, she quickly changed her mind and immediately said, “Old deity, this is not appropriate.”
“Oh, why?” Xiangshi Zhou asked curiously.
Gu Lingyun said seriously, “Forgive Lingyun for speaking bluntly. Most of the people in the shop on the first floor are vulgar and shallow people. Although there are many people, there are not many people with real knowledge. They may not be able to see the true meaning of the words’ Old Divine Immortal ‘. Perhaps there are some people with a shallow vision who say evil words instead of knowing what is good for them. They are not beautiful.” From Ling Yun’s point of view, how could an old deity or immortal write such a divine character? How could they share it with mortals? It was better to hang it in this study room. However, for talented people to come here, Ling Yun would invite them here to enjoy it together. This was the correct path. What do you think? ”
The Prime Minister surnamed Zhou stroked his beard and pondered for a moment before nodding his head.
Gu Lingyun heaved a sigh of relief as if she had been granted an amnesty. She hurriedly said, “Please take a seat first. I will immediately ask someone to frame this word.”
Xiangshi Zhou waved his hand and sat down on the big black sandalwood chair. “Then there’s no need to be so anxious. Let’s put it away first and talk about it later. Little Gu, come over and sit down first. Let’s have a chat.”
“Yes.”
Gu Lingyun nodded in agreement. She carefully placed the words in her hand on the desk. Then, she moved a stool to the side. However, when she passed by the desk, she saw a few large words that were as strong as dragons on the green pole. She couldn’t help but ask, “Old deity, the words on the green pole are also pretty good, are they written by you?”
The Prime Minister surnamed Zhou glanced at the words “Immortal Guide” and smiled, “That’s not true. This green pole is an ancestral possession of my family. These words were also written by my Zhou Clan’s ancestor, a person named ‘Zhou Yixian’.”
“Oh, I see.” As expected, Gu Lingyun felt some admiration for Zhou Yixian. He put down the stool and sat down beside him. He smiled and said, “The ancients used to say things like that. I believe that Senior Zhou must be a peerless figure with extraordinary talent and beauty.”
‘”Eh …” Xiangshi Zhou suddenly seemed to be stunned. He scratched his head and thought carefully, “It should be … Forget it. Anyway, he is a good old man. I also admire his demeanor, so I changed his name. Oh right, do you know my name?”
Gu Lingyun was stunned for a moment, then said, “Lingyun only knows your surname. He usually respects you very much. He also addressed you as an old deity with the others in the meeting. I really don’t know your name.”
Xiangshi Zhou smiled faintly and said, “Alright, it seems that you and I are fated to be good friends. Normally, you can do things well and help me gain some face. Let me tell you. My surname is naturally Zhou, and I named myself after my ancestors because I remember their elegant demeanor.”
“My name is Zhou Xian.” Xiangshi Zhou smiled and said.

Gu Lingyun lowered her head and remained silent for a while.
Zhou Xian looked at her and smiled, “What do you think of this old man’s name?”
Gu Lingyun raised his head and smiled, “Alright.”
Zhou Xianfu nodded his head in satisfaction. After a while, he said, “Alright, let’s talk about business after all this chatter.”
Gu Lingyun’s expression suddenly became solemn. She leaned forward slightly. Normally, she would look down on the imposing woman in this branch of the Divine Immortal Society. At this moment, she was like a docile kitten in front of Zhou Xian. “Please speak,” she said.
Zhou Xian flicked his finger lightly on the back of the black chair. His expression became calm and plain as he said, “I’ve read Liuyun City’s books for the past few months. You’ve done a very good job. You’ve earned at least 30% more than the shopkeeper in charge of this place. It’s not in vain that I promoted you back then.”
Gu Lingyun’s expression was respectful. He lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully, “Lingyun is deeply grateful to the old deity. I dare not not do my best.”
Zhou Zixian nodded and said, “However, there are many talented people in this association. Although you are very outstanding, there are other talented people who have made great strides. You cannot underestimate them.”
Gu Lingyun’s heart skipped a beat. Just as he was feeling a little puzzled, he heard the old deity in front of him say indifferently, “In a while, the main hall will send the next person to you. It’s time for you to be your deputy.”
Gu Lingyun’s body trembled and he raised his head in shock. He couldn’t help but stand up and anxiously said, “Old deity, this …”
Zhou Xian glanced at her with a calm expression but an invisible aura. Gu Lingyun immediately went mute, but his plump chest rose and fell a few times. Then, he whispered, “Old deity, Lingyun asked himself what he did not do wrong. I wonder why the main hall is doing this?”
Zhou Xian said calmly, “That person has been neutral for many years, and his abilities are outstanding. Apart from this old man looking after him, he is also valued by the other two old men. Although I am not going to push this matter, judging from the situation, it should be the two old men who are preparing to use him greatly.”
Gu Lingyun’s expression was uncertain. He remained silent for a moment and said, “Is he coming to take my place?”
Zhou Xian smiled and said, “That’s not the case. Didn’t I say earlier that he came here to be your deputy?”
Gu Lingyun wondered if he would be able to fall asleep in the future with such a fierce tiger standing beside the bed.
Zhou Xian looked at her expression and said, “Don’t think too much. I’m just worried that you’re thinking too much. That’s why I came to see you.” Although that person was talented, his status in the past was low. He had always presided over small shops, and he had never truly run a large branch store where the wind and clouds gathered. “This trip can be considered a bit of experience. I’m afraid I need you to bring him along for many things.” At this point, he paused for a moment and said with a slightly solemn expression, “But then again, if you really lose a lot of money, make a big mistake, or do not manage well here in Liuyun City, then even I will not be able to protect you. Perhaps that person will really take your place.”
Gu Lingyun pondered for a moment before slowly regaining his calm. He stood up and respectfully said, “Lingyun understands. I just lost my composure. It’s because Lingyun’s cultivation is not enough and his will is not strong enough that the old deity laughed at me. If you have any presumptuousness, please punish him heavily. Lingyun will not dare to complain in the slightest.”
Zhou Zixian stared at her and nodded, “Well, you are indeed a smart girl. It’s good that you know. Speaking of which, you are also my person. If you work well, I will naturally protect you.”
Gu Lingyun revealed a grateful expression and said, “Yes.”

Zhou Zixian waved her hand and let her sit down again. Her expression relaxed. After chatting with her for a while, she suddenly asked, “Oh right, I told you to find someone to go to the sea of books in Lingxiao Sect to look at the old books of the Heavenly Yao Court. Do you have a good look?”
Gu Lingyun was shocked and hurriedly apologized, “Lingyun is incompetent. This matter has indeed not progressed yet.”
Zhou Zixian sighed and shook his head, looking a little disappointed.
Gu Lingyun was a little nervous. He said, “Lingyun has indeed contacted a few disciples of the High Firmament Sect and invited them to enter the sea of books privately. However, according to what they said, on the one hand, there are too many ancient scrolls in the sea of books. On the other hand, they have flipped through quite a few books and have never found any information about the person named ‘Huang Ming’.”
Zhou Zixian nodded and said, “This matter really cannot be rushed. Take your time.” After pondering for a moment, he said to Gu Lingyun, “Oh right, tell those people who are flipping through the books later. In addition to looking for Huang Ming’s information, help me find another person’s information in the ancient books of Demon race. However, if there are any written descriptions, be it good or bad, they will be silently recorded and transmitted to you.”
Gu Lingyun nodded in agreement and said, “Lingyun obeys. May I know who you are looking for?”
Zhou Zixian smiled faintly and said, “It’s the ancestor of the Yuan Clan of Yuanshi Sect.”
Gu Lingyun hadn’t reacted at first, but after a moment, his body suddenly trembled and he said, “Could it be …”
“Yuan Wentian.” Zhou Xian stood up, picked up the green pole and walked towards the study door. At the same time, he said, “In short, you should pay attention to finding out all the information about these two people for me. If you mention these two people in the same book at the same time, then no matter what, regardless of the price, you must give that book to me no matter what, understand?”
