Gu Qing memorized the true shape of the flowing flames several times.
Immediately, he rolled up his sleeves to hide the gold pattern more tightly, adjusted his posture, and closed his eyes.
In his opinion, since there is a practice system and a large force composed of many practitioners in this world, it means that there is probably a spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this world!
If the spiritual energy of heaven and earth exists in this world, then breathing in the spiritual energy for practice would naturally be Gu Qing's first choice.
He is familiar with the spiritual power cultivation system and has rich experience. If he can practice spiritual power, he will be able to achieve a certain level of self-preservation in a short period of time, not to mention traveling a thousand miles a day.
After closing his eyes, Gu Qing found a relatively simple technique from his memory and tried to use it to sense the aura of heaven and earth.
About half an hour later, Gu Qing opened his eyes.
His eyes were a little tired, and his figure was a lot stooped.
'No... I can't sense the spiritual energy from this side of the world... Either this body does not have the spiritual root qualifications to cultivate, or this side of the world does not have the existence of heaven and earth's spiritual energy! Gu Qing judged this.
For Gu Qing, with his level of control over his body, he could not sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for half an hour, so there was no need to continue, so he decisively understood the True Shape Diagram of Flowing Flames.
The practice of the true shape diagram of flowing flames is mainly based on visualization.
It is similar to the guidance technique that Gu Qing practiced before to restore energy, but it is also very different.
Gu Qing felt this difference as soon as he started to understand it.
The visualization of the Daoyin Technique is to visualize the acquired energy flowing in the meridians in the body, driven by thoughts, while the Flowing Flame True Shape Diagram is similar to the secret technique of Dao Heart Demon Seed that Gu Qing has practiced before. It was carried out at the same time as the exercise. After realizing this, he immediately started practicing.
Due to the memory of the veteran Taoist Gu Yunqing's many years of cultivation, Gu Qing practiced the true form of the flowing flames quite smoothly.
Moreover, he could easily divide his mind into two uses, meditate and perform the exercises at the same time, entering a very efficient state of cultivation.
Although the veteran Gu Yunqing can do this, compared to Gu Qing's calmness, it is much more difficult for Gu Yunqing to practice in this state.
As he began to practice the Flowing Flame True Shape Diagram, a trace of heat slowly emerged from Gu Qing's Dantian Qi sea, causing slight ripples in his heart.
'Is this true anger...'
'It seems to be very different from spiritual power...'
After this ray of heat was generated in Gu Qing's Dantian, it began to flow along the meridians all over his body, constantly warming the meridians all over his old body, making him feel extremely heavy since he stood up, as if his body was carrying a mountain. , are all taken lightly.
Gu Qing's heart was not disturbed at all. After practicing for four or five hours, the true energy in his body was able to gather into a piece in his dantian.
The growth of Qi gave this old and withered body new vitality, and Gu Qing felt slightly relieved.
It only took less than ten hours for him to return to his current state from the state when he just woke up, where he was about to die suddenly at any moment. For this, he was quite satisfied.
The skylight came in along the edge of the bed and swept over Gu Qing's old face. He stopped practicing the Liuyan True Shape Diagram.
Gu Qing opened his turbid eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
He looked at the two little dolls lying on the bed.
These two little dolls were abandoned babies at the foot of the mountain. The old Taoist Gu Yunqing saw them when he was traveling and brought them back.
'It is already dangerous for these two little guys to continue to be so hungry... Although this body has been brought back from the door of death, it is still empty inside and outside. It is necessary to eat and drink something to replenish qi and blood this morning. '
Gu Qing got off the bed and checked Lao Dao's memory.
Then he sadly discovered that this old man was really poor.
There is no incense, the fields are abandoned, and there is no source of income.
The old Taoist has some abilities, he knows medical skills, has a wide range of knowledge, and also has a little knowledge of Feng Shui. But every day he thinks about cultivating the True Shape Talisman of the Liuyan Flame, and he basically doesn’t go down the mountain to earn money. No wonder, he left two little babies hungry. He is so thin, but he has his true energy to support him. He can survive even if he swallows wind and dew, and does not get sick, but he has suffered for two little babies.
But if the old man here doesn't pick up these two dolls, they will definitely starve to death in the wild, or be picked up by some wild beast.
In addition, during his lifetime, Lao Dao did not care about the two children, but his attitude towards getting along with the two children was really kind and kind. When the two children were about to starve to death, he would go out to hunt some game. Save the two dolls.
Don't let the two babies live well, and don't let the two babies starve to death.
In the words of an old Taoist, it is, 'Once you enter this door, you will neither be rich nor poor, live forever and be hungry, your ambition will deepen day by day, you will reach immortality and attain the truth, and you will soon reach the truth'.
Gu Qing came to the inner courtyard of the Taoist temple, glanced at the deserted inner courtyard, and then walked towards the innermost main courtyard of the Taoist temple.
The main courtyard of the Taoist temple is much more solemn and solemn than the inner courtyard in terms of layout and layout. From the outside to the inside, there are statues of protector gods, until the deepest hall enshrines a statue of three or four feet high, although it is painted with colorful sculptures. A majestic statue that is lifelike but covered in dust.
'What kind of god is this? '
Gu Qing glanced at the statue for a few times, glanced around a few times, but couldn't find the incense, so he clasped his hands and bowed.
After praying, Gu Qing turned around and walked out of the main hall, walked around the Taoist temple, and then went down the mountain. The morning sun had just arrived, and the sky on one side glowed with red light, shining half the clouds in the sky as if they were burning. It's so ordinary, it's really a wonderful sight.
Unfortunately, Gu Qing was not in the mood to appreciate it at the moment.
The hill was not high, and less than a moment had passed when Gu Qing came down the hill. He stood at the foot of the hill and thought about whether he should go to the village to beg for food, or go to the county town to beg for food, or to beg for alms.
He almost couldn't live anymore, and he still had two little babies to raise. With his current strength, he couldn't hold a knife to kill people, a needle to treat people, and he was still dizzy when looking at Feng Shui. If he didn't go to beg for alms, what else could he do?
'Heyang City is fifty miles away...'
'Fifty miles, with the strength of this broken body's legs, I am afraid that before I can reach it, I will fall to the ground and pass out. After a while, if I am not picked up by a wild beast, I may turn into withered bones by the roadside. '
'Over there, go to Linjia Village on one side to ask for alms. '
Gu Qing took steps and walked towards Linjia Village, which was seven or eight miles away.
…
At three quarters of noon, the sky was high for two days, and the sunlight was very fierce.
Holding three shiny black buns in one hand, Gu Qing passed by a creek, lay down and took a deep drink.
"Isn't this Mr. Gu..."
Some villagers on the side said hello.
Sitting in the sweet stream, swallowing the unchewed black buns in his mouth, Gu Qing raised his head, with a smile on his old face, and nodded to the villagers passing by the river - fused with the old Taoist Gu Yunqing He has already mastered the language of this world. It is still a bit awkward for him to speak, but it is no problem for him to listen and understand the general meaning.
After drinking the water from the stream, Gu Qing stuffed the three black and shiny nests in his arms, sat on the big rock next to the stream, and practiced the True Shape of Flowing Flames.
The sun was shining brightly, and the sunlight was very hot.
After Gu Qing practiced the True Shape of Flowing Flames, he felt a burning pain all over his body. Something in the sunlight seemed to be constantly penetrating into his flesh, and a mysterious pattern was outlined on his flesh. Gu Qing responded. He was aware of it, but he was not distracted by it.
Trying to practice the True Form Diagram of Flowing Flames in the sun was not a sudden whim of his. It was because judging from his experience, practicing the True Shape Diagram of Flowing Flames in the sun should yield better results.
In fact, many fire-based exercises that breathe out spiritual energy can achieve the best results when practiced at noon when the sun is high in the sky. It is just that this kind of practice is likely to damage the body.
For Gu Qing, he would naturally grasp the right limits, neither going too far nor having little effect due to the short training time.
About a quarter of an hour later, Gu Qing stood up sweating profusely.
Feeling the much stronger Qi in his body, he walked towards the hill where the Taoist temple was located, his eyes looking thoughtful.
'Practice when the sun is the most poisonous, and the fire poison will inevitably accumulate in the body. To eliminate the fire poison, it must be neutralized by the moonlight... At night, you must find a treasured place with abundant moonlight and where the wind and energy can be collected to practice. OK. Gu Qing returned all the way to the hill and walked into the Taoist temple.
"Master...Master, where have you been? Master..." The girl whose face was cleaner and must have been washed hugged Gu Qing.
"Master, are you okay?" The boy asked tentatively, looking at Gu Qing with a pair of clear eyes.
"What can I do for you, master? Come and eat some steamed buns." Gu Qing smiled, took out three shiny black steamed buns from his arms, handed one to the boy and one to the girl, and kept some for himself.
"This wotou... Master, have you gone to beg for alms?" The boy's expression changed, and he almost dropped the wotou to the ground. He looked at Gu Qing in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.
The girl took the steamed bun with a face full of joy and started to eat it.
"Ha, Xiaoxing, Xiaoyue, you have been a bit pedantic in the past as a teacher, and you can't open the pot anymore, so I won't let you go beg for alms." Hearing this, Gu Qing shook his head and smiled, and touched the girl's little head.
The names of these two little babies were given by the veteran Gu Yunqing. The boy was named Gu Xing and the girl was named Gu Yue.
Xu Shi Lao Tao felt that he was alone, surrounded by stars and moon, and often accompanied by heaven and earth, so he named his two little ones Xingyue.
After chatting with the two little kids for a few words, Gu Qing walked towards the inner courtyard, when Gu Xing spoke hesitantly.
"Master, please don't go to Zhang's village to ask for alms. We already owe him thirty-two cents of money..." Gu Xing sighed like a young adult and said.
The common currency in this world is gold and silver. Three or two taels of silver can be spent by a family of three for two or three years.
"... Got it." Gu Qing was silent for a moment and responded.
If he had to just beg for food, he would die on the road and not have enough money to pay, so he might have to think of some special methods.
Back in the inner courtyard, in his room, Gu Qing sat on the bed, feeling the surging heat in his body.
Although it has only taken a few hours to create the True Shape Diagram of Flowing Flames, Gu Qing's cultivation results are already comparable to those of others who have spent several years. One of the main reasons is that the veteran Gu Yunqing originally had a lot of abilities. Another main reason for the strong foundation is that Gu Qing's cultivation of the True Shape Diagram of Flowing Flames is relatively good.
'For the time being, I am not strong enough, so I can only live by alms. After noon, I went to cultivate the few acres of abandoned fields... I never thought that when I came to this world, I would have to farm. Gu Qing curled his mouth in a funny way, but at this moment his mind moved and he glanced outside the door.
He closed his eyes and his breathing became steady, making him seem to be practicing, but in fact his senses were highly coordinated and he was feeling the changes around him.
Although he cannot use his spiritual consciousness, Gu Qing's sharp senses are much easier to use than his turbid gaze.
'One person... two people... should be a man and a woman. If the other is not a woman, then he is a smaller man... What are you doing here, killing me? Is it someone sent by a disciple who worships Jianshan to practice evil, or is it someone else... Is Gu Xing and Gu Yue in any danger...'
Gu Qing's mind was spinning, thinking about how to deal with it.
…
"Is such an old guy worthy of us ending his life?" In the inner courtyard of the Taoist temple, outside Gu Qing's door and above the eaves, a thin figure said to his well-proportioned companion.
"Don't be careless. This old guy has practiced boy skills for decades. Although he has not condensed the true form, he can still deal with you and me very easily... Although his skills are greatly damaged now, who knows if there is any left. We have three to five years of skill left, so let’s not let the boat overturn. Let’s smoke first.”
The companion of this thin figure frowned slightly, spoke softly to the thin figure, and then turned his hand and took out a small black tube.
…
A small black tube pierced the window paper almost silently, blowing a stream of black smoke into the house.
Gu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, seemed unaware of this. His chest was still rising and falling, as if he was focusing on practicing to restore the true energy in his body. After a while, his figure softened and he lay on his back.
The door was pushed open silently, and two figures flew into the room. They each threw a few darts at the figure on the bed.
"Old Niubi, don't blame my two brothers. This is all the order given by Master Xu..." The thin figure whispered while throwing the dart.
call out! Phew!
Four or five darts fell like cold stars. Just when they were about to fall, they were suddenly caught in the flying thick quilt, making a dull sound.
When the two figures who invaded the house saw this scene, their expressions changed. Facing the quilt flying towards them, they each pulled out their daggers, spread out to avoid the quilt, and immediately moved toward them. Kill the old figure behind the quilt.
This old figure suddenly stepped on the ground at this moment, and then seemed to fly close to the ground, avoiding the two of them, and rushed towards the door.
The two of them were immediately shocked by the sudden burst of speed of this old figure, but they were also experienced people and immediately had a way to deal with it. The darts in their hands tilted towards the door as if they were free of charge. The old figure had to stop escaping and had to fight hand to hand with the two of them.
The three figures immediately became entangled.
Two assassins wearing beige clothes, covering half of their faces, waved the daggers in their hands with cold light, and greeted the old figure's vitals.
However, the old figure could always avoid it at incredible angles. Under the siege of the two assassins, the figure retreated continuously. Suddenly, it was close to the exit of the house. This was when the two assassins suddenly relaxed their offensive and retreated. He couldn't count, and then he threw out several handfuls of colorful cigarettes.
The colorful smoke did not fall on the old figure.
I saw the old figure with slumped shoulders and elbows, and suddenly shouted loudly. His hands were dripping with blood from unknown time, and he carved a complicated talisman. He slapped the talisman forward.
call!
A bloody flame broke away from the old figure's hand and turned into a twisted fire snake. Just one roll burned away the colorful smoke.
"How is that possible?"
"He actually used the True Form Talisman!"
Immediately, in the horrified eyes of the two assassins, the twisting and changing fire snake came towards them. Like a rewinding waterfall, it passed by the two people who were not in a hurry to avoid it at an extremely fast speed.
puff!
The two men's bodies were immediately wrapped by the fire snake and flew into the air. After just a moment, their bodies were burned to death.
Several broken bodies fell to the ground, and the old figure also fell to the ground with a bang. In an instant, the twisting and changing fire snake evaporated and dissipated.
About a breath or two passed, and the old figure climbed up tremblingly. He squeezed his painful and burning palms and came to the broken bodies.
'Sir Xu...' The old figure, that is, Gu Qing, touched the two torn places on his side.
He did not suffer any external injuries during this battle.
As a monk who has experienced many battles, although his current cultivation is completely lost, his combat experience is still there. How can these two people hurt him?
The only external injury was the Flowing Flame True Shape Talisman that he carved in his palm. Gu Qing had already quietly started carving the Flowing Flame True Shape Talisman after noticing the arrival of these two people. For being able to successfully cast this Talisman in one go, Gu Qing was actually a little surprised.
You know, the old Taoist Gu Yunqing has never successfully cast the Flowing Flame True Form Talisman in the past seventy-three years!
And he actually just practiced the Flowing Flame True Shape Diagram for less than a day, and he activated the Flowing Flame True Shape Talisman and used it to destroy the enemy!
Of course, if you look at it from another perspective, Gu Qing's performance can be considered normal. After all, he is a second-level talisman master. He has drawn tens of thousands of talismans in seal scripts. The most important thing in knowing how to draw talismans is the 'one thought'. Therefore, When casting the Flowing Flame True Form Talisman, both in terms of experience and timing, nothing could be compared to that of veteran Gu Yunqing.
"It solves the urgent need... However, it seems that we can no longer stay in this Taoist temple. If we still stay in this Taoist temple, that kind of dog official Mr. Xu will probably send people to cause trouble... Is this Mr. Xu related to that Taoist temple? It has something to do with the evil cultivator disciples who worship Jianshan..."
Gu Qing found a few banknotes and more than thirty taels of silver on these broken bodies, and put them in his arms.
