Gu Yucheng woke up from the cold wooden board, moved his numb and sore body, glanced at his sister lying on the earthen bed, went outside the room, scooped up a bowl of water from the large water tank, and took a big gulp. drank it.
The water drawn from this kind of well is actually nothing, but Gu Yucheng, who often drinks mountain spring water, still feels a little uncomfortable after drinking this water.
Since his father disappeared while exploring the desert, his situation has become worse and worse. His father's brothers began to take over the entire sect, and he received fewer and fewer resources. In the end, he even fell to the current situation - he spends every day He had to work hard in the Lingshi Mine and dig the ore to get the corresponding wages.
When Gu Yucheng came into the room, he glanced at his sister, gently covered her with a quilt, then walked out of the room, took out a steamed bun from the pot, tiptoed out, and slowly closed the wooden door.
Walking on the road while eating steamed buns...
The younger sister Bai Yueqiu slowly opened her eyes, which were a pair of brilliant golden pupils, but it was as if there was a layer of cloth behind her beautiful eyes...
Bai Yueqiu was adopted by Gu Yucheng's father. Gu Yucheng didn't know why his father loved his sister so much. He didn't even know why his father named his sister after Bai...
However, after decades of getting along with each other, under the care of his father, and in the relationship between his sister and himself, his relationship with his sister has long been like that of a family member.
After his father passed away, his sister, who was not good at words, followed him all the time. In fact, his sister was attracted by his father's brother's son, his cousin, very early on, but his father refused.
After his father's death, his cousin once again proposed the idea of marrying his sister, but he was actually hesitant. He had a great impulse to marry off his sister in exchange for a stable life, but there was an impulse in his heart. He told his rationality not to do that, because he did not want to be a person who looked up to others, and he did not want to be a person who relied on others. Only the younger sister can survive...
However, after a long struggle, the weight of reason finally gave way to the falling stone of desire, and the balance in my heart was tilted towards marrying off my sister.
However, that day, there was a drizzle in the sky, and my sister stood blankly under the sycamore tree planted by her father in her father's yard. She just looked at herself so calmly.
Gu Yucheng stepped forward to wipe the rainwater from her cheek, but found that it was boiling hot, so hot, so hot that it almost made his hands tremble...
His sister just looked at him and smiled, but the tears revealed everything...
Gu Yucheng came to his senses. He could lose everything, but at least his life was not that sad! At least I'm not in a desperate situation yet, why would I betray myself? !
So Gu Yucheng rejected his cousin's request.
Immediately, he and his sister were kicked out of his father's old house.
Since then, he has come to this dilapidated house, moved from the inside of the sect to the outside, and started mining.
I once lived in a world full of greenery and flowers, but suddenly I came to live in an earthen house with withered grass. When I opened the door, I found the house full of dust, a deserted house...
The corner of Gu Yucheng's mouth turned bitter, choking in his throat...
But the younger sister didn't show anything. She didn't even have any dissatisfaction. Seeing that her younger sister, who had been living well since she was a child, could endure such a life... what could I say?
So I started mining by myself.
It was Gu Yucheng who had enjoyed spiritual jade in the past that he knew about the existence of spiritual stones and the difficulty of collecting them.
The mine tunnel is dark and sultry, with no wind able to penetrate, and even light can do nothing. Only torches can illuminate this place...
I have to endure the coughing, gravelling, digging, sighing... and the hot and sweaty smell... and there is a lot of dust.
Fortunately, I have practiced cultivation after all...
Gu Yucheng came to the mine tunnel again and came to the side of a young man.
The young man ran to Gu Yucheng's side and said, "Brother Cheng, brother Cheng, are you here?"
Gu Yucheng smiled and then said, "How's it going?"
The young man directly stretched out his hand, and a flame immediately gathered in the palm of his hand. The weak firelight faintly smoked the young man's face.
Gu Yucheng was very surprised when he looked at the young man's immature face.
It took him several months to learn the most basic method of gathering spiritual energy, but it only took Gu Tang half a month. This really surprised Gu Yucheng...
Gu Tang couldn't help but feel a little unbalanced in his heart. He looked at Gu Yucheng, who looked a little stiff, and said, "Actually, that's why I have tried practicing before. That's why I can learn it so quickly."
Gu Yucheng's mark felt a little better. "Maybe. Next, I will introduce you to the so-called cultivation."
"People's cultivation is divided into the self and the self. The self refers to the cultivation of the spirit and the body, while the self refers to the practice of refining elixirs and forging formations. These are the two major directions of cultivation..."
"The cultivation realm of the human race is actually no different from that of the demon race. The realm is divided into the nine stars of the earth for entry, the nine stars of the sky for the transition, the nine stars of the key enlightenment, and the twelve stars of the Ningding realm that separates one side. There are also The yin and yang mirror twin stars of legendary figures are also called the half-step Taiyi realm."
"Then, then! What about the Taiyi Realm?"
Gu Yucheng smiled, "Except for the Supreme Emperor Killing Heaven, no one has entered the Taiyi Realm in the past three hundred years. You know, that kind of realm encompasses all the wastelands and all directions are vassals. It is a legendary existence." Really, I don’t know how strong the Taiyi Realm is. The key is that the legendary Yin and Yang Realm are all characters who can burn mountains and cook the sea, let alone the Taiyi above Yin and Yang. That kind of realm is simply beyond our imagination. That’s it.”
Gu Tang's eyes shone, and his scorching gaze lasted for a long time, and then he asked, "Then, what's your realm, Brother Cheng?"
Gu Yucheng knew that his level was not high, but he still said with some complacency, "Five Stars of the Earth."
Gu Tang asked with some envy, "It is said that the higher the level, the longer the life. Is this true?"
Gu Yucheng nodded his head, "Yes, it is said that those on earth are the same as humans, while those in heaven have a lifespan of a hundred years. Of course, it varies from person to person. Some people's skills are life-like, while enlightenment lasts a thousand years. The Ningding Cauldron is more than three thousand years old, and the Yin and Yang are... rumored to be thousands of years old."
Gu Tang's face was full of envy.
Gu Yucheng looked at him, smiled, and then asked, "What realm do you want to be?"
"Condensing Cauldron Realm! I want to live for a thousand years, I want to become a big shot!"
Gu Yucheng was stunned when he saw the somewhat excited Gu Tang.
The entire Gu family does not have the Ningding realm.
His father was only a star of enlightenment, and was even hailed as the Gu family's number one genius in a thousand years.
In the Ningding realm, that is myself...
Gu Yucheng just thought that Gu Tang's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers. He didn't know how difficult it was, so he just smiled. Then he began to teach Gu Tang to continue practicing.
At this time, a dark and thin man walked in. He walked in holding a torch and looked at Gu Yucheng, "What are you doing? What are you doing!! Go to work!"
This man was sent by his father's brother, his second uncle, to monitor him.
After all, he is also a monk, so mining is naturally easier than for normal people. The second uncle had already made his grandfather dissatisfied by sending him to mine, so he didn't arrange too much work for himself, just ordinary people's labor.
It's just that if you do this kind of work for the first time, you will inevitably feel uncomfortable and your body will still feel tired...
Gu Yucheng clenched his fists when he saw the thin black man staring at him. This person used to mine for his own family, but now...
Yes, now I am no longer the eldest son...
Even grandpa acquiesced to his second uncle's arrangement for him to work in the mine for the sake of the stability of the clan...
Gu Yucheng took a deep look and then went to dig...
