Late at night, the northwest wind was howling, and the power of the late spring cold forced people to put on the cotton-padded jackets they had just taken off. Chen Guanlou sat naked in the courtyard holding a big knife, steaming all over. Just now, the cultivation that had been stagnant for a long time finally made some progress. The cultivation broke through from the peak of the fourth chapter of "Ascension Record" to the fifth chapter with a little thrill. Too many things have happened recently, and I was restless. I almost went astray when I was practicing tonight. Fortunately, his foundation was solid, and at the critical moment, his mind and spirit were unified, and he broke through smoothly. At this moment, his soul seemed to be out of his body, and the whole person was in a mysterious and wonderful feeling. Feeling the flow of air, the speed of the wind, every breath, the beating of the heart, the flow of blood... the exhaled air slowly dissipated in the night sky. Time seemed to slow down, and the tearing wind slid across the body so gently. A leaf, floating, as if suspended in mid-air... Everything seemed so slow, time seemed to have slowed down several times. There was a knock from the night watchman outside, he took a deep breath, and time returned to normal speed. He stretched out his palm and gently clenched it, as if he was holding a ball of air, allowing him to create at will. There was a feeling of omnipotence, or an illusion!
Powerful! Strength! Completely different from before. For strength, he seemed to have learned it by himself, and he really mastered it in his palm. The knife was no longer suitable for him. He did not need the restraint of weapons, he himself was the weapon, the sky, the earth, and everything. He stepped on the cold stone slabs, soared into the sky, and overlooked the whole city in mid-air. "Which Taoist friend is so presumptuous in the sky above the capital!" Chen Guanlou shook his head lightly, changed his face directly, and put on a vest. The voice seemed to come from all directions. Looking at the surroundings that were still dead and people were still sleeping, it was obvious that this questioning voice only entered his ears. He headed northeast with great certainty. The question did not disturb him, but helped him find the direction. He landed on a solitary building. Looking around, this turned out to be the Imperial Observatory. To be precise, it was the Observatory of the Imperial Observatory. He had never been here before. "Fellow Taoist, you are in a good mood. I wonder what you are doing visiting me late at night?" "When a guest comes, won't the host come out to greet him?" Chen Guanlou turned into a middle-aged man, with a hoarse and rough voice, which sounded like a wandering wanderer. He was definitely not a martial arts master kept in a family. "Your cultivation is improving, which is good news. You can just be happy by yourself, but why do you have to show off? You disturbed others' rest, isn't it your fault?" "I didn't realize that I disturbed others' rest, I hope you can forgive me. I am an ignorant person, why don't you show up? The night is long and I can't sleep, so a long talk is a joy in life." "Go back! Go to bed when it's time to sleep, don't come out." As these words came, a hurricane accurately and directly killed Chen Guanlou.
He dodged and provoked: "Why don't you want to see me? Are you ashamed to see people?" "You are just a little kid, you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Go." A huge force came from nowhere, like a mountain pressing down on your head, directly pressing towards Chen Guanlou. Chen Guanlou couldn't dodge in time, and was pushed back by the huge force, and kept retreating. He was like Monkey King who was trapped in the Five Finger Mountain and couldn't escape, and suddenly found out how small he was. The senior of the observatory is definitely a master, a master comparable to the ancestor, or even more terrifying than the ancestor. So this is the master! No! This is not the master! This is the grandmaster above the master! In addition to the ancestor, there is actually a second grandmaster in the capital! So terrifying! But he laughed out loud! It's worth the trip! Nothing is more exciting than meeting a grandmaster. Bullying the weak is not a skill, it is meaningful to challenge higher levels. Pursuing endless martial arts. When he just broke through the fifth chapter of "Ascension Record", he had the illusion of controlling everything, and he was self-inflated as if he had lost his goal. At this moment, reason returned, and he wanted to pursue a stronger power. The fruit of immortality is endless. ... Two days later. Chen Guanlou came to the gambling house and met Lao Chaofeng. He was ready to spend money to buy information from Lao Chaofeng. He was not a professional investigator, so he could only take a different approach, hoping for a surprise. When the old court official saw him, he felt awkward for a moment. "Chen the jailer, you are a noble man, and this small temple of mine cannot accommodate you!" "You are joking, old sir. I paid for the news, and you are in the business of selling news. Why can you receive others but not me?" Chen Guanlou sat down at the table with a gentle smile on his face, and spoke slowly, like a gentleman. "I really can't do anything about the person you want to investigate." The old court official seemed helpless. "You said you can't do anything without asking a single question. Do you still want to do business if you treat guests like this?" Chen Guanlou played with the Buddhist beads on the table, counting them one by one. "You want to investigate the whereabouts of Master Zhuang, where can I find him? It's been a few years since Master Zhuang's incident, and he should be gone." "I want to see the person alive or the body dead." His face was too serious, and the atmosphere was tense for a moment. Then, he smiled, "Please forgive me, old sir, I am not making things difficult for you. I am just following orders. You also know that I am guarding the Tianlao. The old man Taifu was abducted in the Tianlao. I have no choice but to take responsibility for this matter. Now, the higher-ups have asked the Tianlao to give an explanation. What do you want me to do? I can only hang my head on my belt and try every means to find it. Please help me, old sir."
He smiled and looked easy to talk to. The old court official had a hard time saying, "Chen, you shouldn't ask me about this. You should ask the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis' Mansion is definitely more informed than me about matters at the court level. I am only slightly informed about the various kinds of information." "You are too modest! The old gentleman came from the palace. When it comes to palace news, the Marquis' Mansion has to admit defeat. I heard that when the Grand Tutor disappeared, a person like you appeared. As expected, he also wanted to get out of the palace." "Chen, where did you get this information? Since you can get first-hand information, why bother asking me?" The old court official looked dissatisfied. Chen Guanlou smiled softly, "That's the palace. If I don't ask you about the palace, who else can I ask? Grand Master, at least you should let him rest in peace and let the Zhuang family get rid of this matter, just consider it as a good deed." "But I..." "One thousand taels, just buy a piece of information, or give a general direction." Chen Guanlou decisively interrupted the other party. The old court official's mouth twitched twice, and the two beautiful maids around him couldn't let him relax at all. "One thousand five hundred taels, any more is greedy." Chen Guanlou once again increased the weight and warned the other party. The old court official closed his eyes and pretended to fall asleep, but his mouth opened, "You go to the east, maybe you will get something." "Thank you!"
