Gu Zuo also reorganized the imperial court and made full use of the power of the imperial court. The main change was in integration, merging the two systems of Nanwuzhou and the imperial court to avoid some people dying from being busy and others dying from idleness.

The system of Nanwu Prefecture was abolished. Butcher was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Cheng Shanhu was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War, Yuan Taoist was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Liu Xuanji was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Gao Changjiang was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Works, Li Gusheng was the chief craftsman and supervisor, and Zhao Xianglu was the director of Changping.

Cang, Li Twelve, head of Jiaofangsi, etc.

This integration was extremely popular with the court, and the Zhengshitang expressed "pleasure" about it.

The production and refining of seawater spirit stones has been continuously carried out, and the cultivation strength of the monks in Nanwu Province has also been advancing by leaps and bounds. One and a half years after breaking the boundary, more monks broke through the boundary. Among the Nanwu army, these

One phenomenon is quite obvious.

The number of the emergency team composed purely of Jindan exceeded 50, and one-third were in the late stage of Jindan; among each battalion, the proportion of monks in the late stage of foundation building also increased from one-third to two-thirds, and the remaining

One-third of the total can also be counted as the early stage of advanced foundation building. The overall combat strength of the Nanwu Army has been further improved.

On the occasion of the first day of the ninth year of Zhide, the court held a celebration. The emperor and Concubine Zhang were invited to sit in front of the majestic platform on the south bank of the Dongxi River. Next to him were Gu Zuo and Li Twelve. On both sides, on the left

On the side are the civil and military officials, and on the right are the elders and deacons of various sects led by Huaixian Hall.

The small imperial court of the Tang Dynasty with a population of 30,000 people seemed particularly harmonious.

Looking at the singing and dancing on the stage, the Emperor asked Gu Zuo: "After staying in this world for more than a year, what is the next step for the Grand Master? Should he continue to recuperate his energy, or should he return to Southern Wuzhou?"

The surrounding ministers and elders of various sects all turned their heads, waiting for Gu Zuo's answer with concern.

Gu Zuodao: "Facts have proved that we are born from sorrow and die from happiness. We lived too comfortably in the world of Daoxuandu in the past, so our cultivation progress was slow. After we came out, everyone's cultivation kept rising, and it rose very quickly. In the past

If you want to reach a higher level, it usually takes more than six years, sometimes more than ten years, or twenty years. Especially at every step, you have to worry about enlightenment. Now one and a half years ago, everyone has broken through, which shows that looking at the heavens

It is very necessary.”

After a pause, he said: "Therefore, our goal in the future is to return to Dongsheng Shenzhou. In my heart, that should be our hometown, but we are not in a hurry to return home. I hope that the Tang army can

Continue to grow, and wait until all members return home after the golden elixir, so that we can have a certain degree of self-protection. Of course, before that, we cannot relax our vigilance. What is going on in this world remains to be seen."

"I'll tell you what you don't want to hear. We must always be prepared for war. As the saying goes, if you forget to fight, you will be worried. Even if there is peace for a year and a half, the enemy may come one day and scare us when the time comes!"

As Gu Zuo spoke, a Chaoyun Talisman rose into the sky amid fireworks, and Lady Chaoyun's smiling face reflected on the sea, her smile bright.

A stone at the bottom of the reef moved and began to poke its head out. This was when the Green Turtle Minister woke up from his half-dream. He looked up in confusion at the place where the light came from. It was the sky above the reef. It was obviously the sky above the reef.

How come there is morning glow at night?

He slowly rose from the bottom of the sea to explore the cause of the flashing red light on the water. He floated up two hundred feet and then slowly emerged from the water. Now he could finally see clearly. There were various fireworks blooming in the sky, and the most conspicuous one was the one that smiled from time to time.

Her beautiful face, whenever these fireworks rise, they illuminate the sea as bright as day for an instant.

After recalling for a moment, the Green Turtle Minister suddenly woke up and patted his head. In the past hundred years, he has not been sleeping well. Every time he fell asleep, he could not sleep deeply and soundly, which also led to problems with his memory. His cultivation level has reached his level.

, has reached the ceiling of the Xuangui clan's cultivation. They must either work hard and become immortals, or they may start to go downhill.

There are only a few black turtles who can break through the ceiling. Unfortunately, the current signs indicate that he should not be among them.

Sleeping unsteadily, waking up with headaches, these days were quite uncomfortable. He knew that he would suffer in this kind of pain for hundreds of years to come, and his ultimate fate was to become a skeleton on Mount Jia, protecting future generations.

.

Patting his head to relieve his headache, the Green Turtle Minister began to cruise around the small island floating on the sea. He wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and go back to his ancestor to apply for a large pill to relieve the pain.

In order to avoid being discovered by the island, he carefully stayed away from the island and sank into the deep sea from time to time, watching carefully and observing the changes in the island.

A month later, the Green Turtle Minister thought that he had almost understood it, so he started to return. On the way back, he was tortured by the painful state of being tired and awake at the same time. He slept again, but he still couldn't sleep well, so he could only

Continue the journey and return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, thousands of miles away.

This is a huge mountain range hundreds of feet deep into the sea. In the canyon in the middle of the mountain range, large clams several feet high are opening and closing from time to time. The night pearls in the clams keep flashing as they open and close, pointing the way forward.

From time to time, giant turtles poked their heads out of the dark holes along the road. They were the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion. When they saw that the person coming was the green turtle minister, they retreated one after another.

After walking forward in the canyon for a long time, a hill appeared in front of us. It was transparent from the front to the back and had four doors on the left and right. It was actually a huge turtle shell.

There is a horizontal plaque with a blue background hanging at the entrance, which reads "Prime Minister's Mansion".

After entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, I waited slowly on the water grass mat at the door. Little Turtle came to report that my ancestor had taken a nap and asked the Green Turtle to wait for a while.

The Green Turtle Minister nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, just wait."

After waiting for another three days, the green turtle servant was awakened by the turtle servant while he was stunned: "Servant, our ancestor has woken up."

So the green turtle minister, who had a splitting headache, managed to cheer up and went inside. Inside, a big turtle had transformed into a human form and was sitting on a chair wearing an official hat.

"My grandson has already taken a rough look at the fact that our ancestor asked Zha to fly to the island, and we came here to report to our ancestor."

"My dear grandson is very neat. I thought it would take some time before he can come back... Let's not talk about it. We will wait until Bai Shangshu comes. I have already sent him to come over to discuss matters."

The two men closed their eyes and waited in the hall. Three days later, a big white-headed turtle arrived belatedly, and it also transformed into a human form and sat down, but with a carapace on its back.

The proceedings resumed.

The Green Turtle Minister told what he saw and heard when he was ordered to check Feilai Island, and then said: "I don't know where this Feilai Island came from. There are no high-level practitioners, most of them are Jindan, Nascent Soul and the like."

The White-headed Turtle Shangshu asked: "How many people are there in total? How many are knowledgeable in Taoism?"

The Green Turtle Minister said: "There are about tens of thousands of people on the island. According to what I have seen, there are more than ten people who have cultivated the Nascent Soul, and nearly a hundred people who have cultivated the Golden Pill. There are only a lot of monks, probably close to ten thousand."

The White-headed Turtle Shangshu said: "I wonder which of the immortal's followers you are?"

The Green Turtle Minister shook his head: "I don't know this."
Chapter completed!
