Gu Qing cleaned up his body, put on a brand new dark blue robe, tied up his gray hair, and tied it tightly with a wooden hairpin.
He looked at the old man with a fairy-like appearance in the palm-sized bronze mirror, nodded with satisfaction, put the bronze mirror back on the small table next to the wooden barrel in the room, pushed the door open and went out. After going down to the second floor, we walked out of the restaurant and started walking around in Heyang City.
The sun was already rising high at this time.
Two dark red suns burst out with thousands of rays of light in the sky, turning the whole world into a crimson red.
The same soil and water support one person, and there are differences in one world.
According to Gu Qing's observation, the human race in this world and the human race on Yunhan Ancient Star where he lives are slightly different in appearance and skin color. Of course, although there are differences, they are still roughly the same. They all have one nose, two eyes, two ears and one mouth.
The most obvious difference is that the ears of the human race here are generally large and round in shape. The round shape makes Gu Qing feel a little awkward, but after seeing it more, he doesn't feel that there is anything awkward about it.
After walking around Heyang City, Gu Qing stopped more than a dozen people and asked where there were vacant courtyards for rent.
If he wants to stay in Heyang City for a long time, it is naturally inconvenient to stay in an inn or restaurant - whether it is from the cost of money or the convenience of cultivation, he needs to rent a courtyard.
Unfortunately, after asking around, Gu Qing could not find out where there were courtyards for rent. After wandering around, he came to the county government office in Heyang City and stopped.
'According to what was asked from the half-grown boy before, there is indeed an official named Xu in Heyang County. '
'This Master Xu is the chief clerk of Heyang County Government...'
'Is he the guy who sent people to kill this veteran? '
Gu Qing stopped outside the county government office for a moment, then returned to the restaurant where he stayed.
On the second floor of the restaurant, he opened the door and walked into the room. Gu Qing held the hair floating in the air in his hand - this hair was caught in the crack of the door when he went out.
The two little babies were still awake on the bed, and the dark bath water in the wooden bucket was not handled by the restaurant handyman.
'Did no one enter the room to check... Did Master Xu move too slowly, or did he believe what I said to the stall owner at the city gate before? 'Gu Qing's eyes flashed slightly.
In the next half month, Gu Qing would walk around Heyang City every day, asking where there were courtyards for rent.
In addition to this, he continued to practice the True Shape Diagram of Flowing Flames, strengthening the true energy in his body and enhancing his own strength.
Gu Qing knew.
If you go to a drug store to buy some medicinal materials that strengthen your qi and blood, the cultivation of Liuyan True Shape Diagram will definitely be faster.
But don't forget that he got more than a hundred taels of silver from those two dead ghosts. With this little money, he can't afford to buy any old medicinal materials. Even if he buys some medicinal materials of ordinary age, I'm afraid it will be spent very quickly.
If this money is spent normally, even if you eat a lot of meat and fish every day, you can still last for many years.
According to Gu Qing's feeling, the practice of Liu Yan's True Shape Diagram and taking some medicinal materials to strengthen Qi and blood will be helpful, but the benefit is very small.
The True Shape Diagram of Flowing Flames, the true Qi cultivated by itself, is "comes from nothingness", inheriting the true meaning of "the Tao is born from nothingness". It is not really condensed by a body of Qi and blood. If it is condensed by Qi and blood The true qi, such as the inner qi cultivated by the 'martial arts masters' that Gu Qing had seen in the past, can't activate any talisman at all. Come to think of it, it can't be used to activate the Flowing Flame True Shape Talisman. ….
Every day during the day, Gu Qing would practice in the inn room, teaching the two little kids some knowledge about cultivation, such as meridians, acupuncture points, and how to adjust their mood and breathing.
He couldn't keep these two little babies with him forever. He didn't come to this world to raise babies.
And when darkness falls every day, if there are no dark clouds covering the moon in the sky, he will go out to the restaurant when the moonlight is brightest and find a quiet place to practice.
The moonlight was soft, the moonlight nourished the body, and after practicing several times under the moonlight, Gu Qing successfully eliminated the fire poison that had continued in the body from the previous practice.
The moon in this world has only one round, but it is very big. When he first saw it, Gu Qing felt a little scared - it was like a huge star hanging above his head, ready to crush down at any time.
After hard training in the past half month, the zhen qi in Gu Qing's body has now grown to the point where it is two-fifths of the total amount of zhen qi that the old Taoist cultivated in the boy's skill for decades before his death.
And because Gu Qing can always cultivate the True Shape Diagram of Flowing Flames with the highest efficiency, the true energy he cultivates is much purer than that of the old Taoist.
The quality of his one ray of true energy is probably comparable to the quality of the three or four strands of the old man's true energy. This allows him to have strong agility and terrifying strength that the old man never had before.
From Gu Qing's perspective in the past, the strength that this old body can exert is naturally very weak, but judging from the decades of memories he has received, he can now crush hard rocks with his bare hands, but Stomping his feet and leaping up to a height of three feet, he is already a master among masters.
After all, this old Taoist Gu Yunqing once possessed a strong true energy, and for this reason he maintained his boyish body all his life.
If he could withstand the double blow of his body and mind without dying and encourage his practice, it would only take a year or two for him to recover.
Now it is Gu Qinglai, who naturally has a pinch in his hand. In just half a month, this old body has gained strength that it has never had before... In fact, the increase in strength is just a result of having enough infuriating energy. The additional effects, compared to the Flowing Flame True Shape Talisman that can be cast multiple times after the true energy is abundant, no matter how much the increase in energy is, it pales in comparison.
At this moment, Gu Qing, although he has only recovered two-thirds of the old Taoist's vitality, he has already been able to activate the Flowing Flame True Form Talisman more than ten times in a row!
From Gu Qing's point of view, the Flowing Flame True Form Talisman is roughly equivalent to the power of the fire-moving spell cast by monks in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining.
And most monks in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining are simply unable to perform a fire spell as powerful as the Flowing Flame True Form Talisman more than a dozen times in a row!
'Finally, I have some ability to protect myself...'
Gu Qing, wearing a blue robe and standing with his hands behind his hands, stood in front of the half-closed window, looking at the drizzle of rain outside the window.
'In another three to five months, the total amount of Qi that the old Tao had during his lifetime will be restored. At that time, his strength will increase dramatically. '
'In the past half month, neither Mr. Xu nor the evil cultivator from Jianshan Mountain has caused trouble. Are we going to stay here in Heyang City for another three to five months? After the old Tao's total amount of Qi has been restored, he can go out for a walk again...'
'The Flowing Flame True Shape Diagram obviously has its limits. After the total amount of Qi is restored to the old Taoist's lifetime, it can no longer be used for practice... It is necessary to find a more powerful Fire Element True Shape Diagram. '….
"Master, pack it up." At this time, a young man's voice sounded behind Gu Qing, and Gu Xing came to him carrying a large package on his back.
The young man Gu Xing is not handsome, but he is very delicate. He is wearing a clean Taoist robe, his hair is tied up, and his face is full of seriousness, which is very lovable.
"Master... Hu..." The little girl Gu Yue on the side came over with a pastry in her mouth. Gu Yue looked very cute. She looked like a porcelain doll. Although she was still a little thin, she had an oval face. The pink color could be seen, and his big dark eyes were looking towards Gu Qing, carrying a small package on his back.
"Then let's go." Gu Qing smiled and was about to walk out of the room, but was stopped by the little girl Gu Yue.
"Master... Hu... touch your head!" Gu Yue hugged Gu Qing's legs and rubbed the dregs of the pastry all over Gu Qing's body.
Gu Qing reluctantly touched the little girl's head, and then the little girl Gu Yue let go. Gu Qing was able to take the two babies, Gu Yue and Gu Xing, out of the room where they had lived for half a month.
In the room, only the old key was left, which was placed on the table with a few empty plates, waiting for the next guest.
…
Three oil-paper umbrellas, one tall and two short, were walking on the dirt road in Heyang City. Gu Qing held the umbrella and walked in front, while two little children followed behind.
The three of them walked for a while on the dirt roads of Heyang City and came to a store called 'Datong Pharmacy'. They turned a corner and walked for a while before arriving at a courtyard with a closed door.
This place is close to the center of Heyang City, with rows of residential houses nearby. As soon as Gu Qing and the two little kids arrived in front of the courtyard, a woman's voice pretending to be sophisticated sounded.
"Old Taoist, stop for now."
Accompanying the woman's voice was the sound of horse hooves.
Da da da……
A group of maroon horses came over, and on the horse's back sat a woman wearing black clothes and a beautiful face.
The woman looked at Gu Qing: "Don't blame me for not reminding you that the problem in this yard is very serious. You have two little babies, but you have to think carefully. If you can't get rid of that thing..."
"Since Miss He has decided to donate this courtyard to Pindao as long as he can get rid of the evil spirits in this courtyard, Pindao has no choice but to risk his life and give it a try." Gu Qing heard this. , turned around, looked at the woman in black and smiled.
He has been going out every day for the past half month, wandering around Heyang City, looking for rented courtyards, and naturally he has gained something.
This beautiful woman who looks to be in her twenties or thirties, named He Caiyun, is the owner of the only Zhenxiang Pavilion in Heyang City.
The so-called true form hall is the place where the true form of refining is taught.
Relying on the true form diagram of refining the Tao taught, the True Form Pavilion naturally gathered experts from a certain county. It is impossible to say that such a force has no background at all. This True Form Pavilion is not the same as the Sword Worshiping Mountain. It is related to the forces under the Bodhi Temple.
According to Gu Qing's estimation, the owner of the True Form Hall in Heyang City, He Caiyun, is also a disciple of these two forces. Otherwise, how could he be able to use the True Form Talisman at such a young age? ….
certainly.
It was also Gu Qing's guess that He Caiyun could use the true form talisman.
If He Caiyun was unable to use the True Form Talisman, he felt that it was unlikely that the Heyang City True Form Museum would let her be the owner.
After all, how can one convince the public?
There is only two words: strength.
"Since Master He Caiyun is here, Pindao, the two juniors, will be left to Master He Caiyun to take care of them." Gu Qing was not polite and directly pointed at the two little kids Gu Xing and Gu Yue.
"Okay, I will take care of them for a while. If the Taoist priest dies in this courtyard, I will directly find a good family to send these two babies away." He Caiyun did not refuse, but got off his horse and said to Gu Qing said, and then made a gesture of invitation to Gu Qing.
"The evil ghost in the courtyard is very strong. When I entered it before, I was almost obsessed by it. I was defeated and with the help of several junior brothers and sisters, I retreated..." He Caiyun said with a wry smile. , and told Gu Qing in detail about the previous time he entered the courtyard.
"Actually, if Taoist Priest hadn't wanted to give it a try, I have prepared a lot of explosives recently to destroy this courtyard. Among the evil ghost parasitic courtyards here, as long as the courtyard is destroyed, its nest will overturn and lose its foundation. Naturally, there is nothing to worry about.”
When He Caiyun said this, Gu Qing's eyes flashed slightly.
He shook his head and asked: "If this is really the case, how can it be delayed until now? In fact, the owner of the museum is also worried that once the courtyard is blown up, the evil ghosts will escape and endanger Heyang City, right?"
The bitter smile on He Caiyun's face disappeared and he narrowed his eyes: "Since the Taoist Master has guessed it, yes, that's it."
"After I was injured in this courtyard, I had the idea of blowing up this courtyard. However, I gave up the idea because I was worried that the evil spirits would escape and endanger the people of Heyang City... But recently, my teacher's side A batch of treasures for banning evil ghosts have been transported.”
"If the Taoist Master is trapped in it and cannot get out, I will order my men to place a circle of forbidden treasures outside the courtyard to lock the evil ghosts in, and then blow up the courtyard."
When Gu Qing heard this, he nodded expressionlessly.
The corner of his clothes was grabbed by a small hand.
Gu Xing shook his head at Gu Qing and whispered: "Master, you'd better not go in such a dangerous yard... If you don't have money to continue living in the restaurant, why don't we just go back to the Taoist Temple..."
"Hmm..." Gu Yue didn't have so many thoughts anymore. She had a deep look on her face and thought for a while, "Master, are those turtles the kind of little turtles crawling around on the ground? Xiao Yueyue had them before. I raised a few of them, but unfortunately they all died in the end... Why should we get rid of them?"
"Ah……"
Gu Qing was amused, and He Caiyun couldn't help laughing. He looked at Gu Yue with a strange expression, feeling that this cute little girl was silly.
"The two younger generations of Pindao will be entrusted to Fellow Daoist He." Gu Qing did not respond to Gu Yue's words, but pushed Gu Yue towards the woman in black.
Then he walked to the courtyard in front, put down the oil-paper umbrella, took out the key that He Caiyun had given him before, opened the lock of the courtyard door, took a deep breath, and did not push the door immediately, but raised the door. He raised one hand to untie the bandage, and with the other hand, he pointed it as a sword and slowly began to draw seals on it.
The half-off hard scab was punctured by his sword finger, and the bloody flame true-shape talisman appeared in his palm. He half-raised the bloody palm, pushed open the courtyard door, and strode into the courtyard. .
Through the courtyard gate, you can see that the courtyard is full of fallen leaves, and several trees in the courtyard are dead. On rainy days, the houses in the courtyard and the well in the courtyard seem to be exuding wisps of black. Angry, as soon as Gu Qing's figure entered the hospital, he seemed to be submerged in the water and disappeared.
Gu Yue and Gu Xing both screamed in surprise. They wanted to go forward to find their master, but were held back by He Caiyun.
He Caiyun's face was solemn, his lips opened and closed:
"The strength of the evil ghost seems to have increased... Is it because of the continuous rain today? Why would this old Taoist choose a day like this to enter the courtyard to kill the evil ghost? Judging from the steaming energy around his body, he should be practicing fire. The true form diagram is not the true form diagram of the water element of cultivation..."
"What is this old man planning?"
While muttering to himself, He Caiyun glanced at the horse that was suddenly agitated, and shifted his gaze to the side, fifty or sixty feet away.
There, like a black torrent, a group of armor-clad sergeants slowly approached, carrying a cartload of explosives. Several young men and women rode horses, following the group of fully-dressed sergeants. What were they facing? Caiyun looked over, and several young men and women nodded in response.
The rain is getting heavier. 39314161.
