After reading this note, Gu Xu stood there and thought for a long time.
He had read many books related to the way of spells in the library.
But there has never been a book that explains Talismans in this way.
He couldn't help but think that between the thirty-eighth year of Xingde and the first year of Tianxing, Da Qi's Taoist cultivation had been greatly improved, and he officially became a grandmaster.
And this is probably related to the guidance of Kong Xuan Sanren.
At this moment, Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh deeply. The thousands of avenues in this world are mutually exclusive but also connected. They often make people draw parallels inadvertently. It can be described as extremely mysterious.
No wonder the monks in the Great Wilderness basically make exploring the secrets of the great path their lifelong pursuit.
Thinking of this, Gu Xu continued to read Kongxuan Sanren's notes——
"...
"June 19th, the thirteenth year of Xingde.
"Today, Pan Yi, the commander of the imperial guards, invited me to listen to the piano and dance at the Jiaofang Division in Luojing City.
"I resolutely refused. Practitioners like us should take it as our duty to explore the avenue of heaven and earth. We must not go to such a smoky place just for pleasure.
"But Pan Yi said to me with a smile, how can it be called greed for pleasure when a high-level monk goes to the Jiaofangsi? It is called maintaining an ordinary mind and looking for an anchor point. If you keep retreating on a deserted mountain top, you will easily lose yourself and become possessed. .
"This is simply unreasonable! Our innocent reputation as practitioners has been ruined by people like him!"
"..."
"The twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month of the thirtieth year of Xingde.
"In a thrilling and fierce battle, I killed '梼杌', the 'fierce god' level evil spirit that harmed the people of Qi.
"That guy's strength is obviously much stronger than the average 'fierce god'. If I hadn't successfully become an eighth-level true king three years ago, I might have been the one who died in the end.
"When '梼杌' was dying, I tried to use the soul-searching spell on it, and found that this guy was secretly planning to be promoted to the Ghost King!
"According to the memory in its soul, if a 'fierce god' level evil ghost wants to become a 'ghost king', it needs to sacrifice one hundred thousand souls.
"It seems that I am really a great contributor to the Great Desolate Human Race! If I hadn't eliminated this damn evil ghost in time, I'm afraid the Great Qi Dynasty would have been wiped out."
"..."
"The third day of September in the eighteenth year of Xingde.
"Commander Pan is right. Frequent visits to Goulan and Jiaofangsi will help to maintain an ordinary mind and prevent people from going crazy.
“Especially for monks like me who often play with cause and effect, they are more likely to get lost on the path of spiritual practice than others.
"At this time, I have to say that "Puppetry" is really a very powerful spell - it allows me to use three different clones on the same night to interact with the oiran from Luojing City, the dancers from the Jiangnan water town, and the northwest frontier. The singers had a tryst at the same time.
“Most people can’t experience this wonderful taste.
"As the creator of the "Puppetry" spell, I am really a genius!
“In addition, I also found that allowing myself to have more mortal hobbies can also help stabilize my anchor and avoid getting lost.
"For example, recently, I have fallen in love with pot throwing. With the "Abduction" spell, I can hit the target with perfect accuracy with my eyes closed, and people around me praise me as a master.
"..."
"The seventh day of August in the ninth year of Xingde.
"Yesterday my friend Gong Maode told me that he fell in love at first sight with Widow Wang who lived across the street from his house, but he did not dare to visit her and hoped that I could use the art of cause and effect to help him create an opportunity for an encounter.
"Oh, love at first sight is a nice thing to say. In my opinion, this bastard is just lustful.
“If he hadn’t given so much, I wouldn’t have been able to help him.
"So, this afternoon, I used the "Abduction" spell on Widow Wang - when she used the fork pole to close the curtain and close the door, a gust of wind blew by, causing the fork pole in her hand to accidentally slip and hit her from downstairs. On the head of Gong Maode who was passing by.
“Because it was a reasonable coincidence, I didn’t suffer the backlash from the avenue of cause and effect.
"As for the subsequent development of the relationship between this couple...that has nothing to do with me."
"...
"The fourth day of November in the thirty-fifth year of Xingde.
"Sun Pengyi, the elder of Penglai Island, turned into a ghost during the cultivation process and caused many casualties among his disciples.
“Because this matter is too difficult to solve with the existing power on the island, the head of Penglai Island asked me to help deal with it.
"To be honest, since I was expelled from Penglai Island many years ago, I just want to cut off all ties with this sect and no longer want to get involved in anything on the island.
"However, after all, I didn't want my fellow disciples to suffer heavy casualties due to the raging ghosts. So I finally agreed to the leader's request.
"As a strong person in the eighth level of True Lord, it is easy for me to deal with an evil ghost that barely reaches the level of 'fierce god'.
"However, after successfully killing Sun Pengyi, I found a strange secret book in his residence.
"That secret book is called "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique".
"'Zhao' means day; 'Ming' means night.
"'Zhaoming' means the transition between day and night, and is often extended to the transition between humans and ghosts in ancient books.
"This "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique", as the name suggests, can transform a person into a ghost without any harm - after becoming a ghost, he can not only maintain the rationality and memory of his life, but also be able to cultivate true energy like a human monk. Cast a spell.
“It can be used on a living person or on a person not older than seven days after death.
"But my intuition tells me that this "Ming Zhao Forbidden Technique" will definitely not be as simple as it seems. In the process of Wu Shang becoming a ghost, there must be some unknown price to pay.
“Because this spell is too dangerous, I asked the head of Penglai Island to destroy it as soon as possible.
"Ghosts who have memory and reason and can practice like humans are definitely much scarier than ordinary ghosts."
"...
"November 15th of the 40th year of Xingde.
"It took me about half a year to successfully break through the bottleneck and become a perfect monk in the eighth realm. Now, even His Majesty the Emperor of Daqi may not be able to defeat me. As long as I take one more step forward, I can overcome After the thunder tribulation, he ascended to immortality.
"The ninth realm is called [Ascension to Immortality].
"According to the book, in the deepest part of hell, there is a mysterious road that leads directly to the sky. As long as the monks survive the most painful torture in the [Nine Hell Prison], they can follow this road to escape from the sea of suffering in the world. Arriving at the fairyland.
"The fairy world is a happy and fertile paradise. According to legend, there are no long nights, no threats from ghosts, and no disease, pain and death. Everything is beautiful.
"For thousands of years, countless monks have been working tirelessly for this goal. But in the end, there are only a few people who truly ascend to immortality.
“Now, I am also fortunate to be one of the ascended ones.
"It is conceivable that when future generations mention my name, there will be an expression of admiration on their faces; countless young descendants will also fight to the death for the items I left in the world.
“Such a picture makes people feel happy just thinking about it.
"I plan to transcend the tribulation and ascend early next year. I hope everything goes well by then!"
"..."
Kong Xuan Sanren's notes came to an abrupt end here.
Gu Xu put it back on the table.
In these pages of notes, there were several things that surprised him——
First, Gu Xu did not expect that Kongxuan Sanren, who mastered the path of cause and effect and was admired by thousands of people, was actually such an unorthodox monk in private! The mysterious 'puppet manipulation' spell was actually used by him to have trysts with multiple women at the same time! The miraculous 'abduction' spell was actually used by him to cheat in pot throwing!
Secondly, Gu Xu did not expect that in order to remind future generations to "keep their ordinary hearts and never get lost", Kongxuan Sanren would even sacrifice their own social death! If it were Gu Xu himself, he would definitely destroy all the notes related to Goulan and Jiaofangsi before ascending, and not even ashes would be left.
In addition, Gu Xu was also a little surprised by the name of the ninth realm [Ascension to Immortality].
After all, most of the names of the cultivation realms in Dahuang have a strong aura of the underworld, and each one sounds more "grounded to the earth" than the last - the words "ascension to immortality" are simply out of place in them.
But Gu Xu doesn't plan to think about this issue in detail for the time being.
His goal is just to become a seventh-level saint.
He just wants to solve the problem of life span as soon as possible, then work hard to make money, live a good life, be a happy salted fish, and see if he can end his virginity for two lives.
There is no ambition to overcome the tribulation and ascend.
The ninth realm is too far away for him. There was no need for him to spend precious time thinking about it.
Thinking of this, Gu Xu planned to leave Laoshan.
Now this "Xianyun Residence" has become his magic weapon. Even after returning home, he can continue to explore the secrets inside.
…………
However, the moment Gu Xu raised his head, something unexpected happened.
He clearly saw that the words "Qing Ping Le" on the screen suddenly changed from black to scarlet - like blood, which looked shocking and chilling.
"what 's wrong?"
Gu Xu frowned slightly and asked the little Taoist boy in black beside him.
This strange change made him suspect that this was not the residence of an immortal, but a haunted house.
The little Taoist boy in black said nothing.
At this moment, he and the little Taoist boy in white standing outside the door fell limply to the ground, revealing their prototypes and turning into two crumpled balls of colored paper.
It turned out that these two little Taoist boys, whose speech and behavior were similar to those of real people, turned out to be just two paper puppets!
Gu Xu sighed and looked at the song "Qing Ping Le" on the screen again, reading it over and over again, trying to find out what was wrong with it.
Since no one told him, he had to rely on himself to find the answer.
"The flowers in the small courtyard are dying, and I miss the sunset in my heart. The geese in the sky are hard to come back..."
While reading, the expression on his face changed extremely subtly——
First he frowned, then his eyes widened, and finally he suddenly realized and took a breath.
Because at this moment, he was surprised to find that the song "Qing Ping Le" left by Kong Xuan Sanren was actually an acrostic poem!
The meaning expressed by this poem is not at all "to lament that time flies by and the sun and the moon fly by", or to "advise young monks to cherish time and work hard to cultivate immortality."
If you read the first word of each sentence together, it is an unexpected warning——
"Be careful with Tianxing, don't ask for ascension."
…………
Gu Xu stood there quietly, unable to recover from these shocking words for a long time.
"Be careful Tianxing."
"Tian Xing" is the reign name of the contemporary Da Qi emperor, which is taken from "Tian Xing is vigorous, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement."
Since the emperors of the Daqi Dynasty rarely changed their reign names during their reign, they often used the same reign name from the time they ascended the throne until their death.
Therefore, in many cases, the reign name can also be used to refer to the emperor himself.
The time when Kongxuan Sanren ascended was the first year of Tianxing.
In other words, in the year of his ascension, Emperor Xingde had just passed away and Emperor Tianxing had just ascended the throne.
In Gu Xu's memory, when Emperor Tianxing first came to the throne, he was just a monk who had just entered the eighth realm.
But Kongxuan Sanren is a quasi-immortal who is about to transcend the tribulation and ascend.
Logically speaking, Kongxuan Sanren should not be afraid of Emperor Tianxing at all.
But why did he hide the words "Be careful of Tianxing" in this song "Qing Ping Le"?
Could it be that the contemporary emperor hides his strength?
Or does the emperor have other unknown means?
At this moment, Gu Xu suddenly thought of Lu Shiyao, the Miss of the Lu family, who had written something like this on a colored paper in the Lu residence in Qingzhou - "My father accidentally discovered a secret of the emperor, which angered the emperor and made him have to kill him." No."
Back then, it was this secret that led to the Lu family in Qingzhou being accused of treason and the nine clans being executed.
Is there any connection between the two?
"Don't ask for ascension."
When he saw this sentence, Gu Xu had countless speculations in his mind because he had read a lot of fantasy fairy tales in his previous life.
For example, the fairy world is not as beautiful as described in books, but there are more terrifying ghosts and monsters;
For example, the wilderness world is a demon breeding farm, and monks who successfully ascend will become food for the bosses in the upper world;
For example, those who ascended are actually slaves trained by the immortals in the upper realm;
…
Each of these speculations is more terrifying than the last.
However, because there was so little information left by Kongxuan Sanren, Gu Xu could not guess the truth at all.
Inadvertently, he thought of Chi Yangzi, the contemporary master and the founder of the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven".
He remembered that when Chiyangzi was just one step away from ascension, he suddenly abandoned his cultivation and became a helpless mortal.
Others thought Chiyangzi had gone crazy during his cultivation.
But at this time, Gu Xu couldn't help but guess, could this be because Chi Yangzi suddenly discovered the truth about Ascension?
The more he thought about it, the more solemn he felt.
He deeply felt that the world was much more complex than he imagined.
PS: This book will not be a clone flow, nor is it written in the form of ascending and changing maps.
PS2: If there are suitable ones, you can send more character pictures, which can increase the star value, the circle value, and improve the exposure.
