As soon as he walked out of the room, Gu Qing's eyes narrowed.
Two big suns emitting red light shine in the sky, and the falling light is slightly dazzling, with a slight feeling of heat.
'Are these two great suns also projections...' Gu Qing glanced at the two large fireballs that were already slightly tilted above the sky.
Gu Qing withdrew his gaze and walked slowly in the yard.
Under the scorching direct sunlight, the ground seemed to be covered with a twisted layer of heat. Under the shade of a tree on the side, Gu Xing was shaking the windlass hard.
"Master." Seeing Gu Qing walking out of the house, Gu Xing quickly let go of the windlass, wiped his hands, stood up and saluted, shouting respectfully.
"Well... you come with me."
Gu Qing nodded slightly to Gu Xing and then said.
"Yes." Gu Xing was a little confused after hearing this. He didn't know what the master was asking him to do, but he still responded honestly, put the bucket aside, and followed Gu Qing.
On the night when Tu Kun was killed three days ago, Gu Qing had already taught the original version of the True Form Diagram of Flowing Flames to Gu Xing, and Gu Xing also completed his first practice under Gu Qing's guidance.
With this practice, the illusion in Gu Xing's heart was completely shattered.
Not to mention the incredible feeling I had on the spot. After practicing, my strength increased greatly, and I could even fly over the walls and become the master I longed for.
Gu Xing didn't feel even a little bit of gain.
That night Gu Xing could be described as confused. Just sitting cross-legged for almost a whole night made his legs swollen and he cramped five or six times. It was impossible to get off the ground the next day.
As for the little girl Gu Yue, although she was also taught the True Form Diagram of Flowing Flames by Gu Qing, because she had not fully memorized the meridians and acupoints, she did not try to practice for the first time like Gu Xing.
But at Gu Qing's request, the little girl Gu Yue also followed Gu Xing to practice sitting cross-legged, unlike Gu Xing who could only cross-legged with difficulty.
The little girl Gu Yue found it very easy to cross her legs.
Gu Yue obviously spent most of the night sitting cross-legged with her senior brother, but she didn't feel much discomfort, except that her calves were a little numb from sitting, and she became more interested in the practice. , the next day the little speaker was chasing and annoying Gu Qing for a long time.
I have been calming down a bit for the past two days. I have been staying in the house, trying hard to memorize the locations of various acupuncture points and meridians.
Although Gu Xing was unable to sit cross-legged and practice on the second day due to swollen legs, he almost recovered after a day and night of recovery.
After cultivating for a day and night, Gu Xing started to practice the True Shape Diagram of Flowing Flames again, but it was difficult to get used to the cross-legged level alone. He tried practicing several times in the past two days, but still couldn't find the method. , failed to give birth to even a trace of true energy in the Dantian Qi sea.
In this regard, Gu Xing was actually a little disappointed.
As for the loss of this cheap disciple, Gu Qing also saw it all when he explored the surroundings with his spiritual consciousness several times.
But he wasn't going to do anything about it.
If the path of cultivation is really that easy, then there will be no ordinary people in this world. Whether this cheap disciple Gu Xing has the qualifications for cultivation, he has quietly used his spiritual consciousness to detect it.
First of all, Gu Xing did not have the spiritual root qualifications to cultivate.
certainly.
The practice of True Shape Diagram does not require spiritual root qualifications.
After all, the spiritual root qualification itself is used to sense the aura of heaven and earth, and the aura of heaven and earth does not exist in this world.
But even if the cultivation of the True Shape Diagram does not require spiritual root qualifications, when Gu Qing found out that this cheap disciple did not have the spiritual root qualifications, he also realized that this cheap disciple should not have the qualifications to practice the True Shape Diagram. It's a mysterious feeling.
Since there are cultivation forces in this world, these cultivation forces must also have methods to judge whether a person has the qualifications to practice.
Gu Qing didn't know this method.
He didn't want to know this method either.
As for Gu Xing, a cheap apprentice, can he practice?
He actually doesn't care.
He just thought that after coming to this world, he had some fate with it. Regardless of whether Gu Qing had the qualifications to practice or not, he would teach Gu Xing the True Form of Flowing Flames.
The world is a mixed bag.
Unlike Gu Xing, the cheap disciple, Gu Yue, another cheap disciple after Gu Qing came to this world, has spiritual root qualifications, and she is a rare mutated spiritual root, the thunder spirit root!
God knows how Gu Qing was shocked when he found out that this silly little girl turned out to be Lei Linggen. His mood swings at that time were extremely rare for him.
The thunder spirit root is a mutated spiritual root, which is mutated from the wood attribute heaven spirit root. In terms of rarity, it is even more exaggerated than the ordinary heaven spirit root!
How could he, Gu Qing, have a disciple of Lei Linggen?
If this little girl Gu Yue were placed in Yunmiao Continent or in the world of cultivation in the vast sea, I'm afraid those old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage would spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain to snatch people, even their brains. He won't hesitate to beat the dog's brains out and beat him to pieces!
According to Gu Qing's judgment, the little girl Gu Yue's spiritual affinity has reached a terrifying level of 99%. She belongs to the kind of person who casually teaches her a book of broken skills, then finds a spiritual vein and throws it into her. , go and see her in 5, 7, 8 years, she has already successfully established the foundation!
It is also the reason why the spiritual energy of heaven and earth does not exist in this world. Otherwise, this little girl Gu Yue would have been taken by some powerful person to be a disciple, or she might be kidnapped by some evil cultivator and used as a furnace... 彡彡
After learning about Gu Yue's spiritual root qualifications, Gu Qing fell into a brief tangle in his heart. The first idea he had at that time was to condense the Tao Heart Demon Seed and plant it into the little girl Gu Yue's body.
In this way, it is impossible to say that the Dao Heart Demon Seed can serve as the spatial coordinates of this world, and in a short period of time, the Dao Heart Demon Seed can be forcibly fused with the soul of the little girl Gu Yue, and once again have a clone.
But this idea was quickly suppressed by Gu Qing.
He is not an evil cultivator.
There is no need to refine one's own disciples into clones, even if this disciple is just a cheap disciple who is passively possessed after coming to this world.
Everyone knows that if you are an evil cultivator and do whatever you want, you can get a moment of freedom and ease. But that is just a short-sighted move. Driven by evil desires, the more you act, the farther away you are from the true way. The more you act, the more you become a puppet of the inner demon. If you lose your freedom and freedom for a lifetime, why bother?
After walking slowly to the courtyard door, Gu Qing opened the door and took Gu Xing out of the small courtyard. Then he cast his eyes to the corner of the street and stopped, as if waiting for something.
Seeing this, Gu Xing looked over curiously.
Not long after.
Then I saw He Caiyun, the owner of the Heyang City Zhenxiang Pavilion, leading eight or nine young men and women in black attire, turning a corner on the street and walking over. Among the eight or nine people, half of them Being bald, the ascetic practices that Gu Qing had seen before were also among the list.
When He Caiyun saw Gu Qing's old figure from a distance, his expression immediately changed, and he felt even more confused.
This person actually seemed to be waiting for them here specifically!
Could this person still be unpredictable?
He Caiyun's brows furrowed slightly.
There was still a slight smile on her face, and she led everyone to take a few steps forward, clasping her fists and saying: "Taoist Master Gu, Caiyun came without warning. I hope you can forgive me. I heard that Taoist Director Gu a few days ago I am here to kill Tu Kun, an abandoned disciple of Bodhi Temple, and I am here to offer you a small gift."
"Please accept it, Daoist Master Gu."
Among the people who followed He Caiyun, one person walked out at this moment and handed over the box he was holding in his arms.
Gu Qing took a deep look at He Caiyun.
"Xiao Xing, take it."
Then, he said to Gu Xing beside him.
"Yes, Master." Gu Xing responded.
He took a few steps forward and looked around at the men and women in front of him. He saw that the owners of the True Form Hall in Heyang City were all bowing their heads in front of his master. He suddenly felt a sense of honor and was filled with joy. But he didn't delay his business, and reached out to pick up the box.
The person from the Zhenxing Museum who was holding the box couldn't help but feel a flash of contempt in his heart when he saw Gu Xing, a young man full of rusticity.
'This old Taoist is lucky enough to have reached the second level of cultivation, but his disciples seem to have no real energy at all... Is it possible that he doesn't even have the qualifications to practice? Ha..." The man was sarcastic in his heart, feeling the weight of the box he was holding. After Gu Xing stretched out his hands, he suddenly let go.
"Ah!" Gu Xing felt that the thing he was holding was extremely heavy, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
The thing he just caught in his hand slipped down and was about to fall to the ground, but at this moment, a rough big hand came up to hold it up.
"Junior Brother Yan, don't tease this little brother." Xi Xing held the box in one hand, a look of displeasure flashed across his face, and he lectured.
"Yes, that's what Brother Ascetic taught me."
The man lowered his eyebrows and said submissively.
"Little brother, this thing is heavy, please hold it well." Ku Xing held the box with both hands and placed it in Gu Xing's arms.
"Thank you, Master Ascetic." Gu Xing hugged the heavy box tightly, with a smile on his face, and retreated behind Gu Qing.
Seeing Gu Qingling's disciple accept the box, He Caiyun was moved in his heart and said, "Caiyun has something important to discuss with me. I wonder if Chief Gu has time?"
"Then please invite Master He to come in." Gu Qing turned around and walked towards the courtyard, "Others, no need."
As soon as Gu Qing said this, the cultivators in the Zhenxiang Pavilion were in a commotion, and then most of them looked at Gu Qing with a somewhat unkind look.
They are all disciples of Bodhi Temple. They came here to give gifts, but they can only stand outside the courtyard and are not even qualified to enter the courtyard? What's the point of this! On weekdays, wherever they go, they are surrounded by others. When have they ever been treated like servants?
However, these people only have bad eyesight.
After all, before coming here, the owner of the museum told them that this old Taoist was a second-level practitioner. If a second-level heretic practitioner was so rude at Bodhi Temple, there would be second-level and third-level practitioners in the temple. The masters and uncles are pressing forward, and they won't be able to bear it.
But in this remote and barren Heyang City, it would be unwise to have a conflict with the heretic practitioners in the second realm. If you are accidentally killed, there will be no explanation.
He Caiyun didn't care what everyone in the Zhenxiang Pavilion thought, he readily agreed, and then followed Gu Qing into the courtyard.
Bang!
Just after Gu Xing also walked into the courtyard, the far door closed suddenly as if blown by the wind, locking out all the people in the Zhenxing Pavilion.
A group of people from the Zhenxing Pavilion stood outside the courtyard gate. The vicious red sun scorched everyone's black clothes as if they were on fire.
The hot wind was rolling around, and pedestrians passing by from time to time cast their gazes. After seeing that these people were the 'adults' of the Zhenxing Pavilion, their gazes retracted as if they were burned.
Soon, a moment passed.
"It's too much. Even if this old Taoist is in the second realm, how can he treat us like this? Let me wait outside the courtyard to be exposed to the sun?" A bald cultivator, sweating profusely, muttered in a low voice.
"Senior brother, if you don't want to be exposed to the sun, you can go back to the Zhenxiang Museum as soon as possible. The owner of the museum won't be harsh on you."
A bald woman with an upright body and a happy and calm mind heard this, glanced at the bald cultivator, and sneered.
"Return? Who among us has violated the precepts in the temple from time to time and was sent here to atone for his sins? He dares to leave on his own today. Without the harsh punishment of the temple owner, the temple will make him unable to eat and walk around!" A look appeared on the side of Xi Xing's side. The young man with a heroic spirit said with a lazy smile on his face.
The other people also started talking to each other, but Xi Xi never spoke. He just put his palms together and recited the scriptures silently in his heart.
…
"...Is this true? That demon king is one of the thirteen demon kings in Dingzhou. Even if Taoist Master Gu is a second-level practitioner, he may not be his opponent!" He Caiyun looked at Gu Qing in surprise.
"I traveled all over the world and came to Dingzhou, only to find out that there are so many man-eating demons in Dingzhou. I wish I could burn my remaining body to do my little bit for the people of Dingzhou. What I just said is true. "Gu Qing said with a solemn look on his old face.
Just now.
Gu Qing has informed He Caiyun and the master of the hall that he has indeed broken through the second realm and has cultivated to an extremely profound level in the second realm.
After He Caiyun learned about this, he was not too surprised.
She had made similar speculations before.
Therefore, He Caiyun offered an olive branch to Gu Qing and tried to get Gu Qing to join the Heyang City True Form Museum as an instructor.
Of course, even though it was just in the name of teaching at Zhenxiang Museum, the benefits it promised to Gu Qing were naturally very generous. Not only were there various kinds of medicinal materials that strengthened Qi and blood, but gold and silver were freely available, and even the heart of Bodhi Temple was Yin Bao Dan, maybe ten bottles were promised to Gu Qing.
Gu Qing didn't know much about the Heart Seal Pill of Bodhi Temple, but since it could make He Caiyun's face look painful, it should be a good pill in this world.
Naturally, He Caiyun would not give Gu Qing so many benefits for free. She had two demands. The first was that after Gu Qing joined the Zhenxing Hall, he should immediately go back to the Bodhi Temple with her and join the Bodhi Temple in a capacity similar to the elder Keqing. , and the other two, it is necessary for Gu Qing to participate in the demon elimination war with the people from the Heyang City True Form Museum after three months.
The so-called Demon Extermination War was led by Bodhi Temple and Baijian Mountain, which controlled many practitioners in Dingzhou to eliminate the thirteen demon kings in Dingzhou and the thousands of little demons under these thirteen demon kings.
Although it is called a purge, it is actually a periodic battle with the demon clan in Dingzhou, which is basically held every three years.
Don't forget that Dingzhou is part of the Daze Kingdom established by the human race in this world, but in fact, the territory occupied by the demon race here is much larger than that of the human race.
Dingzhou is rich in mountains and rivers, and there are many places where human beings are rare and where ordinary people cannot survive. In these places, the demon clan will gather and roar in groups.
If the demon clan gathers and roars too much, it will naturally erode the territory of the human race. This is the reason why the demon elimination war is held. It aims to gather the power of the practitioners in Dingzhou to take back the territory that the demon clan has invaded the human race.
The eternal theme of all creatures in the world is just one word.
fight.
Fight for territory, fight for resources, and fight for the continuation of the ethnic group.
"To tell you the truth, Director Gu, the evil dragon demon king has lived to this day to be more than 500 years old. Even among the thirteen demon kings in Dingzhou, he is ranked high. If you take action alone..." He Caiyun frowned and said worriedly, his eyes full of suspicion.
That was not her intention.
I just want this Gu Laodao to join the Zhenxiang Pavilion.
But who would have thought that when it came to the Thirteen Demon Kings in Dingzhou, Gu Laodao would be so excited and insisted on eradicating the evil Jiao Demon King closest to Heyang City.
"As soon as I took action to discipline the evil dragon demon king and give him a head, he dared to let his little demons invade the territory of the human race. Don't you know that our human race also has cultivators?" Gu Qing looked upright and stroked his beard.
Gu Xing, who was standing behind Gu Qing, looked at his master with reverence. He felt that since his previous serious illness, his master seemed to be a completely different person, becoming extremely domineering.
"Master...Father...Xiao Yueyue has memorized all those things." The little girl Gu Yue walked out of the room at this time. She first looked at He Caiyun with some confusion, then trotted to Gu Qing's side and hugged him. He grabbed Gu Qing's leg and looked at He Caiyun timidly.
He Caiyun forced a smile to Gu Yue, who looked like a porcelain doll.
She looked at Gu Qing again with complex eyes: "If Director Gu insists on doing this, Caiyun has nothing to say..."
With that said, He Caiyun was about to turn around and leave.
In her heart, she felt a pity for the small gift given this time - a hundred ingots of gold.
'This Mr. Gu...does he really want to get rid of the evil dragon demon king? Or is this just an excuse to refuse my win over..." He Caiyun's mind turned, "No matter which one it is, these hundred ingots of gold have been wasted. It's a pity..."
"Wait!" Gu Qing frowned.
He Caiyun felt her body stiffen, as if being held in place by an invisible force. She turned around stiffly and looked at Gu Qing: "I wonder if Mr. Gu has any other advice? Caiyun is all ears."
"This hundred ingots of gold cannot be collected in vain. After killing the evil dragon demon king, the credit will be attributed to the head of the hall." Gu Qing took the box Gu Xing was holding with one hand, opened it, and saw hundreds of gold coins. The neatly coded gold shone with an alluring luster in the sunlight, making Gu Xing's eyes light up as he was exhausted from holding the box.
"What?" He Caiyun's eyes became strange.
Gu Qing glanced at He Caiyun for a few times with a half-smile, then touched the little girl Gu Yue's head: "Pindao said, the credit for killing the evil dragon demon king should be credited to the owner of the hall! I guess whether Bodhi Temple, or at the Daze court, killing the demon king is a great achievement, right? But after the event is completed, the owner of the temple needs to agree to two conditions of Pindao."
"Does the Taoist really think he can kill that evil dragon demon king?" He Caiyun did not respond to Gu Qing's words, but asked.
