The setting sun is setting in the west, and the sun is about to fall.
The miserable red sunlight shines in the small courtyard.
Tu Liang's eyes flashed slightly when he saw that the old Taoist priest in front of him was lying on his back and dodged the heavy sword that was slashing towards his neck.
"Ha..." He laughed mockingly, and the dark golden heavy sword he slashed out suddenly stopped, then turned sharply and slashed down vertically!
Zheng!
The thick sword sound echoed throughout the city, resounding in Gu Qing's ears, shaking his eardrums, making it difficult for him to hear any sound other than the sword sound, but his eyes became extremely calm.
'The heart of an innocent child is not contaminated by external things. Since it is true energy, it should be controlled by me! But it turns into nothingness because of the restlessness of the heart. The two words "emotion" seem to be able to influence each other. Looking at the calmness and confusion of the little girl Gu Yue, the anxiety in Gu Qing's heart disappeared for a moment.
As the anxiety that lasted for several hours dissipated, it was like a basin of cold water pouring down from Gu Qing's head. His heart immediately felt as clear as ice and extremely clear.
The true energy wrapped up in the scorching gas containing fire poison seemed to become extremely heavy. It broke away from the steaming scorching gas, and fell like drizzle, and merged into Gu Qing's whole body meridians, as if taking root. No longer affected by any external force.
Once the true energy is restored, the crisis no longer exists.
However, what Gu Qing just saw was not only the ignorant and calm little girl Gu Yue, but also...the two sets of the sun!
The two great suns are in panic. Even if their light is blazing, there will be times when it falls. The so-called rise and fall are only within a few inches. When the outside is extremely prosperous and the inside is declining, it is like encountering a wildfire on the road that is burning the grass and trees. Under the scorching flames, there are residues. What is left is the ashes of vegetation that has burned out its vitality!
Among the so-called four seasons, the true meaning of summer time is like wildfire burning wantonly, and like the setting sun that is about to fall!
"Although the setting sun falls, it does not lose half of its brilliance. Wildfires are extinguished, and there is life in the ashes of grass and trees. This is not the way to annihilation, the way to destruction, because all things rise and fall for their own reasons, and all things have their own time to rise and die..." Gu Qing Using both distraction and thought, he deduced the true shape of the flowing flame.
The True Form Diagram of Flowing Flames is just a basic visualization method. Gu Qing had already felt this at the beginning of his practice.
What I think about is just a matter of a moment.
While deducing the true shape of the flowing flame, because the true energy returned to the meridians and circulated throughout the body, even though the pores all over the body were still closed, Gu Qing's figure suddenly became stronger. He faced the falling heavy sword and There was no panic at all, he just took advantage of the opportunity to lean back, propped himself up on the ground, kicked off his feet, and rolled over ten feet away.
boom!
The dark golden heavy sword fell on the ground, smashing the bricks on the ground below. Without stopping for a moment, it was lifted up by Tu Liang again, slashed through the air, and headed straight for Gu Qing!
"Hide...I want to see how many swords you can dodge!" Tu Liang sneered. With his bloated body, even if he was holding a long heavy sword, it was like holding a grass stalk. Effortless.
Before the sneer could stop, Tu Liang's bloated figure flew on the ground, as if flying close to the ground, becoming extremely flexible, dancing with the heavy sword in his hand, and the sword was covered with cracking wind, and was heading towards Gu Qing.
After Gu Qing rolled to about ten feet away, he picked up the little girl Gu Yue with one hand, then threw her away into the house, stood up, and flew away.
He retreated continuously, often avoiding the heavy sword at tricky and strange angles. In the blink of an eye, he had already retreated more than ten feet!
Gu Qing's bloodshot eyes still looked calm. His red body was no longer as swollen as before. There were wisps of red halo flowing on his body, outlines of his body. A complex pattern appears, which is like a thin flowing flame. If it exists, it seems not to exist. It is very mysterious.
Tu Liang's one eye was also bloodshot,
But he was not as calm as Gu Qing.
As he struck down one sword after another, each sword was obviously faster than the other. It was obvious that even this old Taoist priest who was shaped like a gaunt tree could not be crushed to death. His eyes were filled with cruelty. !
At a certain moment, the heavy sword he slashed out shook and moved slightly.
Gu Qing's retreat stopped.
"You can't even hold the sword steady, how did you get out here?" He sarcastically said, and at the same time, he kicked out like a prophet. At this moment, Tu Liang's heavy sword fell and fell on him. On the side, a thick sword appeared in front of his kicked foot!
Boom!
A loud noise appeared in the field.
Tu Liang felt the heavy sword's mouth shake violently. His big hand with the width of the door panel couldn't help but let go. The dark golden heavy sword was kicked out by Gu Qing on the spot, smashing down the courtyard wall more than ten feet away. The bricks and stones on the courtyard wall rustled down, burying the heavy sword underneath.
Gu Qing put one hand behind his back and stretched out the other hand, facing Tu Liang with a calm expression: "I wonder who you are, are you going to do harm to me?"
Gu Qing's body surface has already condensed into a mysterious pattern of red light. The scorching heat steaming in his body is now concentrated in this mysterious red pattern, and this mysterious red pattern is not static. , but expanded rapidly on his body.
At first, this pattern was just the appearance recorded in the Flowing Flames True Shape Diagram. But as Gu Qing continued to deduce it, it continued to deform. After a while, the meridians and acupuncture points it included were actually more than the meridians included in the Flowing Flames True Shape Diagram. , acupuncture points, there are twice as many, and they are still expanding!
As the mysterious pattern expanded, red steaming energy gradually emerged from Gu Qing's body, distorting the surrounding light.
When Tu Liang saw this scene, his violent mood immediately disappeared.
He looked solemnly at the old man in front of him, and glanced at the heavy sword buried under the bricks in the distance, and his body actually lit up with a little golden light.
This golden light outlined a complicated pattern on Tu Liang's bloated figure, causing golden light to bloom all over Tu Liang's body.
"I, Tu Liang, am here to take your life... By the way, Senior Brother Xu Su in the sect, asked me to say hello to him."
Tu Liang laughed ferociously.
Immediately, the golden light around Tu Liang immediately evaporated, and dozens of golden light spots lit up. All the golden light converged towards the condensed golden light, and in an instant, it turned into a dense The golden light burst towards Gu Qing through the air!
Uh-huh!
Like a chaotic rainstorm, in just a moment, these golden lights almost fell on Gu Qing's body, as if they were going to pierce through his figure.
And at the moment when these golden lights burst out, Tu Liang stepped forward and swooped over. He opened his palms as wide as the door panel, and saw golden lines on his extremely wide palms. It gradually lit up, and soon a talisman formed.
This talisman was golden, and once it was condensed, Tu Liang's whole body seemed to be turned upside down by a large golden bowl, protecting it underneath.
Gu Qing faced the golden light in the sky with a calm expression.
He raised his palm and saw that blood seemed to seep out from the solidified blood scab again, and then a pillar of flame light flew from his palm, like a red light band, and was thrown around by him.
raging……!
The blazing flames streaked across the sky, causing the golden glow to melt quickly. However, when it swept across Tu Liang, it was blocked by the large golden bowl condensed around him.
puff!
After the red flame light belt landed on the golden bowl, it turned out to be a sudden expansion of the golden bowl, crushing all life and death!
And at this time.
Before the streaks of golden light that shot up in mid-air could be dispersed, Tu Liang was already holding a large golden upside-down bowl and rushing towards Gu Qing with a sinister smile on his face. However, Gu Qing curled up his lips. .
The next moment the corners of Gu Qing's lips curled up.
A very mysterious line lit up all over Gu Qing's body, with vigorous white flames tearing his clothes apart. Following this mysterious line, it surged out of his body and faced him like a white tide, covering it. He turned to Tu Liang, whose expression changed drastically.
"The power of the second realm? How could you..."
puff!
Tu Liang only had time to say this. The large upside-down bowl around him blocked the white flames for a moment and then completely dimmed. Tu Liang himself was annihilated in an instant.
The golden lights that had not been broken in mid-air were burned into nothingness under the white blazing flames.
Stab!
A burst of black smoke rose.
In front of Gu Qing, a large radial pit appeared in front of Gu Qing, several feet long and several feet deep. Even the magma in the pit only existed a little, as if the earth and rocks that originally filled the pit had never existed.
The blazing white flames completely separated from his body. Looking back, Gu Qing staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground on his back.
The tattered linen clothes on his body revealed a mysterious white pattern running throughout his body. This mysterious white pattern was extremely conspicuous on his yellow-black skin that looked like dry tree bark.
A deep feeling of exhaustion appeared in Gu Qing's heart.
Not because of dealing with this stupid big guy.
The loss of mental energy was mainly due to the derivation of the true shape diagram of the flowing flames. Obviously, he successfully deduced the true shape diagram of the flowing flames with the help of this insight.
However, in this short period of time, the new Flowing Flame True Shape Diagram deduced must have many shortcomings, which he will fill in in the future.
In fact, Gu Qing was a little surprised that the deduction was successful this time. He was already prepared for the deduction to fail - now that his true energy has recovered and can be used, he can deal with this stupid big man Tu Liang , is an inevitable thing.
His true identity is a monk at the sixth level of foundation building. His experience and skills in fighting are far superior to low-level monks. Even though he can only use the Flowing Flame True Form Talisman, which is equivalent to a monk in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining, he can use it during a fight. His fire technique can also be invincible in the same realm.
The confrontation between Gu Qing and Tu Liang ended in a flash of lightning. Gu Yue, the little girl who was thrown back to the house by Gu Qing, just got up from the ground and rubbed her butt in grievance. Liangjiu had been evaporated by the blazing white flames emitted by Gu Qing.
"It will hurt... Senior brother said it will hurt... It's not a dream..." After rubbing her butt, Gu Yue finally realized something belatedly.
She turned her head and saw that the monk on the side who was still holding the monk's legs was no longer begging, but opened his mouth wide and looked at senior brother Gu Xing in the yard.
The little girl Gu Yue walked around the broken wall in front and came under the eaves. She saw her master lying motionless on the ground. There was a big pit in front of the master, and the ugly guy had disappeared.
"Where are you going..." Gu Yue muttered to herself and ran to the edge of the pit, almost stepping on a pool of lava.
The burning heat of the magma made the little girl Gu Yue, who knew that this was not a dream, hurriedly avoid it and looked at the bottom of the pit for a few times. She saw that there was nothing at the bottom of the pit. Instead, there was black gas coming out, which made her burst into tears. , coughed a few times, and quickly retracted her little head.
Gu Yue came to her master's side: "Master, where did that ugly guy go...Master, what were you doing with that ugly guy just now...Master, why are you lying on the ground motionless..."
Gu Yueshang looked around, pinched Gu Qing's red flesh, and wrinkled his delicate little nose, as if he smelled a strange aroma.
Gu Qing lay on the ground like a corpse and rested for a while.
He visualized the newly deduced true shape diagram of the flow of flames, and felt the infuriating energy flowing in his body that seemed to have undergone some changes, but he was annoyed by this little girl Gu Yue - of course, knowing the flick just now , he was relieved that the little girl was not broken.
Gu Qing raised his hand to touch Gu Yue's head, but the severe pain made him realize that the skin and flesh around him had basically been steamed.
The situation was urgent just now, and even if there was pain, he ignored it forcibly. As the blind man became aware of the severe pain, his expression became a little distorted.
Gu Qing put down his palm, broke free of the sticky mouth, and said with difficulty: "Little girl, where do you have so many problems... Go, go to the house quickly, and call the big monk over."
"Shi... Shi... Hu... What's wrong with you..." The little girl Gu Yue looked at Gu Qing's torn lips, her face turned pale with fright, and with an anxious look on her face, she pointed at Gu Qing's lips and stammered.
"Don't be afraid. Master has lost his skin recently. Go and call the great monk." A smile appeared on Gu Qing's face that seemed to be melting.
"No need, the great monk has arrived." Like a ghost, a figure came to Gu Qing's side silently, it was the ascetic.
With a strange look on his face, Xi Xing looked at the big pit beside him and said, "It seems that this Taoist brother has touched the threshold of the second realm. It's really gratifying. The young monk is polite here."
"Why is the second level not the second level? I wonder if this great monk... this master has that healing elixir? The kind that has miraculous effects on burns." Gu Qing lay on the ground and nodded to the asceticism.
Wu Xing glanced at Gu Qing's body, feeling a little confused.
"Since Taoist brother has the cultivation method of the second realm, as long as he breaks into the second realm and is naturally reborn, there is no need for any healing pills?" What Ku Xing said was very straightforward. After he finished speaking, he also frowned slightly. He put his palms together and said, "It's the young monk Meng Lang. He actually asked about such a secret. Please don't blame me, Taoist brother."
Said.
Ascetic took out a bottle of elixir from his arms: "This is the Bodhi Temple where the young monk was born. It refines the healing elixir for me and other disciples. It's called 'Grass Huan Dan'. It's not mainly for external injuries, but it also has good medicine for external injuries." For the effectiveness, just give three pills to Dao Brother, take one pill every three days, and use the true energy to dissolve it, and the injury will not matter in nine days."
Wu Xing poured out three pills, looked at Gu Qing who seemed to be sticking to the ground, was silent for a while, then turned and handed them to the young man Gu Xing who was following him.
"Thank you, Master. Haven't you asked the Master for his name yet?" Gu Qing nodded to Gu Xing and motioned for Gu Xing to accept the three pills.
"Ascetic." Ascetic put his hands together and bowed.
Then, Ku Xing turned around neatly, bypassed the big pit in front, and walked away. In the blink of an eye, he walked out of the courtyard and disappeared in front of the looking Gu Yue and Gu Xing.
Gu Qing sat up on the ground, feeling the sharp pain of tearing flesh all over his body, and quietly looked at the door of the courtyard.
His red eyes flashed with thoughts.
'Bodhi Temple... That ugly man is a worshiper of Jianshan. As soon as he arrived, the great monk did asceticism. It seems that Heyang City is the territory of Bodhi Temple? Even if this is not the case, at the very least, the power of Bodhi Temple in Heyang City should exceed that of Baijian Mountain. '
With his thoughts turning, Gu Qing took the three pills from Gu Xing's hand and pointed to the collapsed courtyard wall on one side: "Xiao Xing, go into the house and get some money, and let someone come to the courtyard to repair it."
"Yes, Master." Gu Xing was still thinking about the scene where his master showed his power just now, and he immediately agreed after hearing the words.
The white flames that erupted from my master's body before were so intense that they almost blinded him on the spot!
The ugly man was so strong, so tall, and even the sword he used was so majestic. Gu Xing thought that his master would definitely be beaten to death this time.
But I didn't expect it.
That terrifying and ugly man who showed off his cruelty was finally burned to the point of evaporation under the white flames activated by his master!
Master, he is so powerful...
Gu Xing wiped away the fear he felt when the ugly man grabbed his leg and fell in mid-air. He felt excited and trotted back to the house to get the money.
"Don't be afraid of the high price. Repair it as soon as possible and make it clean as soon as possible." Gu Qing reminded him from afar as he watched Gu Xing run out of the hospital.
"I understand, Master!" Gu Xing responded from afar.
Gu Qing held the three healing elixirs and looked at them strangely. He was peeking at the three elixirs and the little girl Gu Yue kept swallowing.
"This is not for you to eat, but for me, Master, to heal my wounds. Let's go back to the house." Gu Qing endured the severe pain from all over his body and walked tremblingly to the house. Although the house was destroyed by the massacre, Part of the building collapsed, but most of the rooms were not damaged.
"Master..." The little girl Gu Yue looked at her master's trembling condor and seemed to remember something. She quickly followed and tried to help Gu Qing.
Gu Qing couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Although he only got along with this little girl Gu Yue for more than half a month, after all, he accepted the memory of the old Taoist Gu Yunqing, and Gu Qing also felt a little affection for this little girl Gu Yue.
Unfortunately.
After a while, this feeling of emotion disappeared after the little girl Gu Yue helped him back to the room, insisted on letting him lie on the couch, and insisted on covering him with a thick quilt.
"Master... Hu... just lie down... I think Grandma Zhao from Linjia Village is sick, so she lies down every day..." Gu Yue said seriously, looking good for her master.
"Ha, did Grandma Zhao make it through?" Gu Qing threw the quilt under the couch, sat down cross-legged with difficulty, sneered, and asked.
"...No...he died in two or three days..." Upon hearing this, the little girl Gu Yue lowered her head and tugged at the corner of her clothes.
