Jiuhua Mountain is indeed one of the few places rich in spiritual energy among the steep mountains and lost states. For more than half a month, the fire beast has been here day and night. After concentrating on training, the progress has been extremely rapid. If this continues, it will take more than a month at most before the spiritual consciousness can be condensed and completely transformed into a human form.
Only after condensing spiritual consciousness and transforming into a human form, can one's own cultivation speed truly advance by leaps and bounds, and finally break through the acquired realm and reach the innate realm.
This process is like a fish jumping over a dragon gate to transform into a dragon. If it cannot be condensed into spiritual consciousness, it will be transformed into human form. Throughout his life, he was just a ferocious beast with a ferocious appearance.
Today, Qin Yunchuan and Mu Jingyu rashly broke into its hiding place. The fire beast originally wanted to drive the two of them elsewhere to avoid exposing his whereabouts. Little did he know that the beasts smashed by the trees chopped down by Qin Yunchuan in the Huaijiang River immediately aroused their own ferocious beasts. It was only because I lost track of the two of them in the Huaijiang River that I had to give up.
Who would have expected that after nightfall, they would find the two of them hurried back to Shaoyang Peak in the cave by the river where they were hiding. Originally he didn't want to provoke the two of them, lest his whereabouts be exposed, but after looking at the two teenagers in the night, a trace of greed suddenly arose in his heart.
If you want to ask these spirits how to quickly improve their own cultivation, then devouring the spiritual consciousness in the human body is undoubtedly the fastest way. If you can devour the disciples of various sects who have a certain level of cultivation, the amount of true energy you can obtain will be less than several years of hard training.
The Fire Beast was in Jiuhua Mountain, worried day and night that the Jiuhua Sect would discover its traces, and it had already become impatient. It was only because of the impending formation of its spiritual consciousness that it suppressed its panic all day long.
At this moment, when he saw these two outer disciples of the Jiuhua Sect, he immediately had the idea of devouring them so that he could condense his spiritual consciousness as soon as possible and leave the Jiuhua Mountain to avoid the pain of fear and fear. He hid in the cave entrance and thought about it again and again, but finally couldn't resist the temptation and quietly approached the two of them.
Seeing that the two of them were about to enter its belly, they didn't expect the sudden change. A thick sword energy suddenly appeared from mid-air, and the fire beast, which was still in a ferocious state, suddenly regained its clarity. He immediately gave up on the two people he was talking about, and with one false shot, he wanted to retreat into the dense forest.
However, Guo Qingshan's strength was too much higher than that of it, and he trapped it on the edge of the dense forest in a few seconds, making it impossible to escape. Feeling the murderous intention coming out of Guo Qingshan, the fire beast immediately chose to kneel down and beg for mercy, hoping that Guo Qingshan would spare its life.
Qin Yunchuan said, "Uncle Guo, this ferocious beast is so cruel that it actually wants to eat Jingyu and me into its stomach. It is conceivable that it has eaten so many human flesh before. You can't be deceived by its appearance." It’s over!”
This Qin Yunchuan is a person who hates evil. He was chased by the fire beast earlier and almost died just now, so he has long hated it. Seeing him kneeling down and begging for mercy, he was really afraid that Guo Qingshan would soften his heart and let him go.
Even if Qin Yunchuan didn't remind him of this kind of thing, Guo Qingshan would naturally know about it. Even if the fire beast was wagging its tail and begging for mercy at this moment, pretending to be pitiful, Guo Qingshan remained unmoved.
"Don't worry, Yun Chuan. How can I let such a ferocious beast go?" Guo Qingshan said, raising his broad sword to slash at the trembling fire beast.
"Uncle Guo!" Mu Jingyu suddenly stopped Guo Qingshan, holding his arm with one hand and pointing at the fire beast with the other, "Look at its pitiful appearance now, how could it be a bloodthirsty beast! I If it doesn’t look good, why not just let it go.”
For some reason, Mu Jingyu suddenly felt a sense of compassion when he looked at the flaming beast. Seeing that it was about to die under Guo Qingshan's sword, it couldn't help but speak out to stop him.
Qin Yunchuan frowned and said, "Jingyu, you are crazy! This is a ferocious beast! If it is allowed to leave Jiuhua Mountain, I don't know how many living beings will be killed by it."
Mu Jingyu ignored Qin Yunchuan, but carefully took two steps forward, squatted in front of the thunder trap, looked at the fire beast trembling on the ground with soft eyes, and asked softly, "Big guy, what are you doing?" Have you ever harmed other living beings before? Tell the truth, otherwise you will be struck by thunder from heaven."
Qin Yunchuan suddenly felt dumbfounded and looked at Mu Jingyu angrily and amusedly. I really don’t understand how this guy could ask such a childish question to a ferocious beast!
The fire beast originally thought it was going to die here, but suddenly saw this little boy stopping Guo Qingshan and trying to save him, and he suddenly lost hope.
After all, it is a ferocious beast that is about to transform into a human form, and it already has some intelligence. Naturally, he could understand Mu Jingyu’s questions. At that moment, he shook his head hurriedly and hummed in his mouth, as if to answer Mu Jingyu's question.
"Are you telling the truth? Don't lie to me!"
Mu Jingyu looked at its anxious expression, as cute as a big dog he raised at home, and felt a little funny in his heart. He actually stretched out his little hand, inserted it through the gap in the thunder trap, and gently stroked the soft red fur on its head.
"Jingyu, be careful!" Guo Qingshan quickly raised his sword and pointed it at the fire beast. Seeing that it didn't do anything sinister, I felt a little relieved.
"Brother Qin, Uncle Guo, look at it, it is so good and cute, it must not be as ferocious as other ferocious beasts. Moreover, didn't it just say that it has not hurt other living beings? Let's just let it go, okay? ah!"
The fire beast actually enjoyed it very much under Mu Jingyu's touch. Lying on the ground gently, it is like a big dog, accepting the caress of its owner.
Before Guo Qingshan could say anything, Qin Yunchuan was so angry that he laughed out loud, "Jingyu, Jingyu, you can actually believe the words of a ferocious beast! I think you are out of your mind! Master Guo, in my opinion we should hurry up." Give it to the sword to prevent Jingyu from being bewitched by it."
Guo Qingshan did not answer. Seeing this ferocious fire beast like a docile big dog, he secretly said in his heart, "Since this fire beast sneaked into Jiuhua Mountain, it has never attacked our disciples. Moreover, in the areas around Jiuhua Mountain, , and there has never been a case of the fire beast hurting anyone. Maybe it suddenly sneaked into Jiuhua Mountain because it really wanted to practice in peace."
Regarding the sudden appearance of the fire beast in Jiuhua Mountain, Guo Qingshan could more or less guess some clues. Even if it rashly attacked Mu Jingyu and the two of them today, Guo Qingshan knew its purpose, but it just wanted to condense spiritual consciousness quickly.
Originally, as a member of the Zhengdao Sect, he was the chief disciple of the Jiuhua Sect. Killing these ferocious beasts is naturally his bounden duty. If in the past, this ferocious beast was already a dead soul under his sword, how could it still survive for a while?
However, after he heard Mo Yunshen mention what happened in Cangwu Mountain and the Deserted Temple, he gradually had some changes in his view of these ferocious beasts. In addition, Mu Jingyu was begging and begging from the side, so he couldn't make any move for a while.
"Uncle Guo, Jingyu is begging you, please let it go, okay?" Seeing Guo Qingshan hesitate, Mu Jingyu quickly grabbed his arms with both hands, shaking him back and forth, and kept pleading.
Qin Yunchuan stopped talking and just stared at Guo Qingshan to see what he planned.
After a long time, Guo Qingshan took a deep breath, stared at the fire beast in the cage and said, "Beast, if I spare your life today, will you do evil again in the future?"
The fire beast was stunned at first, and then a trace of ecstasy flashed in its eyes. Its huge head kept moving up and down, and it kept humming in its mouth, as if it was constantly making guarantees.
Mu Jingyu shouted, "Uncle Guo, look, this big guy has promised you."
Qin Yunchuan suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, "Jingyu, you believe what it says!"
Mu Jingyu's face was startled and he said, "Brother Qin, do you know that there are good and bad beasts, and not all of them are vicious. We can't generalize and treat all the beasts as heinous creatures and kill them all." ah!"
Because he had grown up under the protection of Qingniu Jing since he was a child, and later met Long Tianxiao and Bi Yun. Therefore, naturally unlike other people, he felt from the bottom of his heart that all ferocious beasts deserved to be killed.
Seeing that Mu Jingyu could not be persuaded, Qin Yunchuan was too lazy to argue with him. He waved his hands helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I won't argue with you. When it hurts someone in the future, it will be useless for you to regret it."
Mu Jingyu looked sideways at the fire beast lying in the cage, and murmured to himself, "I believe it has never hurt a living being before, and it won't even do it in the future." As if to strengthen his confidence, Mu Jingyu He repeated this sentence several times.
"Okay! Today I will make an exception and let this beast go!" Guo Qingshan smiled boldly, staring at the fire beast with cold eyes and said, "If I find out that you continue to act recklessly in the future, your life will be worse than death!" "
After saying this, he shouted, and the thunder trap immediately disappeared without a trace, leaving only the ferocious beast still lying on the ground.
The fire beast was stunned at first, obviously not believing that Guo Qingshan would let it go. After being stunned for a moment, he let out a soft cry of joy. He stood up and walked to Mu Jingyu's side, placed his huge head in his hand, and rubbed it back and forth a few times. Then he raised his head, glanced at the back of Guo Qingshan, and then bowed his head with gratitude. He turned around, jumped a few feet, and disappeared into the dense forest.
Looking at the fiery red figure disappearing into the darkness, Mu Jingyu not only felt sad, but also felt a bit reluctant to leave. Secretly wiping away a tear from the corner of his eye, he smiled, waved his hand and shouted, "Big guy, you must remember what Uncle Guo said, never do evil!"
Qin Yunchuan pulled his arm down and said angrily, "Okay, you have saved the beast. Let's return to Shaoyang Peak quickly. Otherwise, Master Zhou will get impatient and come out to look for us in person."
Guo Qingshan felt relieved for no reason, and seemed to be somewhat relieved after releasing the fire beast. He held one person with one hand and said with a smile, "Hold on, little guys, Uncle Guo is going to take you away."
At this time, all the lights in Shaoyang Peak have been extinguished, and there are only a few patrolling groups of disciples patrolling back and forth in the mountain.
Guo Qingshan and the two of them quietly landed behind Shaoyang Peak, avoiding the patrolling disciples, and arrived outside the house where Qin Yunchuan and the others lived. I saw a figure in the distance, standing outside the house. Seeing Guo Qingshan and the others, they rushed over anxiously.
"Senior Brother Guo? You are back. If I don't see you back again, I will go to the inner five peaks to look for you personally." That person is Zhou Wenyi who has been waiting here.
Guo Qingshan said, "Thank you, Junior Brother Zhou, for staying here so late, waiting for my news. Qingshan will remember this kindness in his heart."
If he hadn't suppressed the matter with all his strength and concealed the news of Qin Yunchuan and Mu Jingyu's disappearance. Once Master Yunyang or even Master Songyang finds out, they will definitely be severely punished. When the time comes, even if Guo Qingshan comes forward to intercede, there is no guarantee that Mu Jingyu will not be expelled from Jiuhua Mountain.
After briefly telling what happened in the mountain, the two were handed over to Zhou Wenyi.
"Junior Brother Zhou, I will leave these two boys to you." Guo Qingshan said, and then said to Mu Jingyu with a straight face, "Jingyu! From now on, you must obey the instructions of the coach and Uncle Zhou in the mountains. If you dare to cause trouble, , then I will never forgive you lightly in the future!"
Knowing that Guo Qingshan was about to leave, Mu Jingyu instantly felt reluctant to leave. He held his hand and said, "Uncle Guo, you must visit me more often in the future."
Guo Qingshan patted his head lovingly, stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears and said with a smile, "Don't worry, after I finish some things, I will come to Shaoyang Peak to see you often. However, you must practice well." Practice the exercises. Next time I come, I will test you seriously!"
After Guo Qingshan finished speaking, he gave Zhou Wenyi a few more instructions before disappearing into the night.
