Gu Xu stood beside the marble table and remained silent for a long time.
The amount of information Kong Xuan Sanren left for him was so great that it took him a lot of time to digest it all.
After a few minutes, the scarlet writing on the screen turned back to black.
Gu Xu sighed softly and decided to leave Laoshan first.
Regarding the Kongxuan Sanren, the Daqi Emperor and Feisheng, the level was still too high for him, a second-level monk.
Even if he reaches the realm of a saint, he may not be able to understand the truth.
Getting involved in these secrets too early will only lead to death.
Therefore, his top priority is to seize the time to practice and improve his cultivation as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Gu Xu turned around and walked out of the door of "Xianyun Residence", pulled out the golden key from the door lock, and put it into his pocket.
Then he had a thought.
"Xianyunju" suddenly glowed with dazzling light, and then the color gradually faded and turned translucent, like a ethereal mirage.
Finally, it shrank to the size of a walnut and landed firmly in Gu Xu's hand, like a miniature model of an ancient building.
Gu Xu was not in a hurry to go down the mountain.
He spent some time studying the usage of "Xianyunju".
He discovered that when "Xianyunju" was in a reduced state, he could directly take out the items in the house with his thoughts - such as tables, chairs, bedding, secret books and notes left by Kongxuan Sanren, etc.
He can also directly put the items on his body, such as talismans and magic weapons, directly into "Xianyunju".
It's just that he himself can't enter the house when "Xianyunju" shrinks.
In the process, he discovered that Kongxuan Sanren actually hid many strange books next to the bed in "Xianyunju", including "Su Nv Jing", "Xuan Nv Jing", "Mandarin Duck Secret Book" and "Xiang Boudoir Secret". Notes", "Secrets of Miscellaneous Affairs", "Biography of a Woman in the Riverside" and so on.
Many of these books were once banned by the Qi court.
In addition, there are many strange items.
For example, silver holders, acacia sets, hanging jade rings, mian bells, white belts, sulfur rings, etc.
The reason why Gu Xu was able to recognize these things was because Cui Tianyou, his colleague from the Exorcism Department, had introduced their appearance and usage to him more than once - Cui Tianyou often used them between the sheets with his "tigress" wife. Such items add to the fun, claiming that "I feel extraordinary joy" and jokingly asking Gu Xu if he wants to buy a few to experience it.
Gu Xu righteously refused every time.
But today was the first time he saw these things with his own eyes.
The tall image of Kong Xuan Sanren in his heart was completely overturned.
"I really didn't expect that Sankong Kongxuan could be so immoral in private!" Thinking of what Kongxuansankong wrote in his notes, Gu Xu shook his head and sighed silently in his heart.
Then Gu Xu threw all these strange items together with the banned books into a hidden corner.
As a serious person who only has cultivation in his heart, he would not touch these unorthodox things!
A few minutes later, after Gu Xu had completely mastered the usage of "Xianyunju", he once again transformed this antique building with flying buildings into a walnut-sized one and put it into his pocket.
At this time, the "Dao Principle Domain" left by Kong Xuan San people in the mountains gradually disappeared.
The early morning sun jumps up to the top of the mountain little by little, inlaying the rolling mountains with a dazzling golden edge.
Golden light fell on the branches and leaves of the trees, flickering brightly and darkly with the breeze.
Morning dew adorns the tips of the grass, bursting out with colorful halos under the fragmented sunlight.
Gu Xu turned around and went down the mountain, walking in the sunshine and walking like the wind, no longer feeling any pressure.
…………
At the same time, at the foot of Laoshan Mountain.
Qianhu Shilei of Laizhou Prefecture and other young monks from the reserve force of the "Shenji Battalion" kept their heads raised and silently watched the movement on the top of the mountain.
They all clearly saw that the building with green tiles and red eaves on the top of the mountain suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.
"It seems that Gu Xu has successfully obtained the inheritance of Kongxuan Sanren." They couldn't help but silently guess in their hearts.
"Linghu" Shangguan Jin sighed softly, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
Her black temple hair had been blown by the biting cold wind, and the makeup on her face had some signs of falling off, but she had no intention of taking care of her image at this time.
She felt that with her qualifications and abilities, she should have had the opportunity to become a lucky person who received the inheritance.
It's a pity that because of a mistake, she chose an opportunistic approach in the pine forest, thus forever losing the opportunity to see the stunning scenery.
At this moment, Chen Yanping beside her said calmly: "Sir Shangguan, the opportunity that this fellow Daoist Gu has had is really extraordinary! You see, whether it is Qingzhou Lu's 'Jinghong Pen' or his ascension to immortality, All the Kongxuan disciples are willing to choose him as their successor, which makes others envious."
It was clear that Chen Yanping was trying to find excuses for his failure - as long as he attributed Gu Xu's success to "chance", then he himself wouldn't look too bad.
"Mr. Chen, I think Gu Xu's ability to have all this depends on more than just chance," Shangguan Jin said with a slight smile, "Compared to us, he is at least willing to chop wood honestly in that pine forest. Just look at it. His character has already surpassed most of the monks in this world."
In fact, according to Shangguan Jin's consistent "high emotional intelligence" style, when encountering such a situation, she will usually choose to find ways to comfort the other party instead of directly refuting the other party's remarks.
It was only because she was filled with regrets deep down in her heart, and because Chen Yanping was so ugly that she didn't need to spend too much time trying to please him, that she inadvertently told such a shocking "truth".
"Indeed." Chen Yanping smiled bitterly and shook his head silently.
Since he failed to successfully obtain the immortal inheritance, Chen Yanping now needs to concentrate on completing his second goal - to have a good relationship with Gu Xu and persuade Gu Xu to become the son-in-law of the Chen family in Xiangyang. .
The fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen looked at the empty mountain top with a dull expression, and he still didn't come back to his senses.
He finally understood why his sister, Princess Zhaoning, wanted him to find ways to become friends with Gu Xu.
If he wants to compete with his brothers for the "Tai'a Sword", then a follower like Gu Xu who has received immortal inheritance and recognition of famous weapons will undoubtedly be a powerful help to him.
But now, due to Du Jingjing's assassination, he unfortunately lost his cultivation.
If nothing else happens, he should never have a chance to compete for the right to inherit the throne in the future.
A proud man like Gu Xu... must not bother to make friends with a useless prince like him, right?
As for Shi Lei, his face remained expressionless, but he couldn't help but feel ups and downs deep in his heart.
On the one hand, he was full of sympathy for Gu Xu's miserable fate of not surviving to be thirty, and hoped that this talented young man could find the opportunity to change his destiny in the inheritance left by the immortal.
On the other hand, Shi Lei thought that if Gu Xu really succeeded in solving the lifespan problem, then he would probably have to marry his precious daughter to him - that girl Xiaohan had hardly endured hardship since she was a child, and this boy could really take care of her. ? Will you prepare something delicious for her? Will he bully her secretly?
Thinking about it carefully, I really can’t bear to part with it.
…………
The way down the mountain is much easier than the way up.
Since the restriction on Kong Xuan San people staying on Mount Laoshan has completely disappeared, Gu Xu did not encounter any obstacles along the way.
The mysterious pine forest, the murderous moonlight, and the breathtaking chirping of cicadas have long since disappeared without a trace.
In addition to this, he has free access to charms and magic weapons.
So he decisively put a "Wind Talisman" on himself.
In this way, even if he is walking on a steep cliff, he can still walk quickly.
A few minutes later, he came to the bottom of the mountain and saw Shi Lei and the young people in the reserve force of the "Shenji Camp".
He walked forward, first clasped his fists at Shi Lei and saluted, "I'm sorry for keeping Master Shi waiting for so long."
Shi Lei looked at his clear and handsome face, smiled and asked, "How was the harvest in the mountain?"
Gu Xu politely replied: "The harvest is not small, but I didn't find what I wanted."
Shi Lei naturally knew what he wanted.
He paused for a moment, reached out and patted Gu Xu's shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Don't be too uncomfortable. I believe you will be able to find a solution to this problem in the future."
"Thank you, Master Shi, for your kind words!" Gu Xu said sincerely.
Shi Lei looked at him quietly and said nothing.
At this time, the morning sun fell on the young man's body, making his whole body glow with a dazzling light.
But... how long can the light in him last?
Is it fleeting like a shooting star, or burning forever like the sun?
Shi Lei didn't know.
…………
"Fellow Daoist Gu, congratulations! You have become the only lucky one among all of us to receive the inheritance of the Immortal!"
"Without you, our 'Shenji Battalion' would have been completely wiped out - it would be a disgrace to grandma's house."
Shangguan Jin put Chen Yanping aside, took three steps at a time, came to Gu Xu, and congratulated Gu Xu.
While talking, she also noticed the faint smile on Gu Xu's face.
The corner of the young man's mouth raised a confident arc, like the light rain beginning to fall or the sun rising in the sky, exuding a bright but not dazzling brilliance.
It looks much more pleasing to the eye than Chen Yanping's gloomy and bitter face.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist Shangguan," Gu Xu responded with a smile, "Actually, I just have better luck."
"Luck is also a part of strength," Shangguan Jin shook his head and seriously denied his words, "Fellow Daoist Gu was able to overcome many difficulties and obstacles and successfully reach the summit, which obviously proves that your strength is extraordinary.
"Like myself, I unfortunately failed in the test of chopping firewood - compared to fellow Taoist Gu, I undoubtedly have a less down-to-earth attitude towards cultivation."
Hearing this, Gu Xu had to admit again that this woman really knew how to praise people and how to make people happy during a conversation.
At the same time, Chen Yanping also drove up to Gu Xu.
He first congratulated Gu Xu on his successful inheritance, and then handed Gu Xu a note with the addresses of several Chen's weapon refining workshops in Xiangyang written on it.
"If Fellow Daoist Gu wants a new magic weapon in the future, you must come to our Chen's Workshop." Chen Yanping forced a smile on his face and tried to use an enthusiastic tone to invite Gu Xu, "We will tailor it for Fellow Daoist Gu. , guaranteed to be very easy to use.”
"I have long heard that Chen's workshop's magic weapon refining skills are among the best in the Daqi Dynasty," Gu Xu responded with a polite smile, "If there is a suitable opportunity, I will definitely come and see it."
It can be seen that Chen Yanping is a very rational and realistic person - he believes that the essence of all interpersonal relationships is the exchange of interests. Whether it's marriage or friendship, they all come from the use value of both parties.
So the head of the Chen family asked him to make friends with Gu Xu, but he acted like he was selling goods.
The fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen stood aside, watching these people talking and laughing, with very complicated emotions.
"White Tiger" Su Xiao gently stroked the hilt of the "Three-Child Sword" on her waist and glanced at Gu Xu casually.
In fact, today, he had the opportunity to climb to the top of the mountain, share the inheritance of Kongxuan Sanren with Gu Xu, and enjoy the charming top scenery.
But Su Xiao did not regret her choice.
Because he has already chosen his future path.
Apart from the sword, there was no room for anything else in his heart.
However, Su Xiao also had a small expectation for Gu Xu who successfully reached the summit——
The "three-foot sword" has not been unsheathed for many years.
I wonder if this young man with endless potential can become an opponent worthy of drawing his sword in the future?
…………
After everyone rested at the foot of the mountain for a few minutes, they set off on their way back.
Since the fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen had taken the "Life-eating Pill" and needed to go to the Exorcist Department headquarters to find Luo Sishou to detoxify it as soon as possible, they did not dare to spend too much time here.
It can be predicted that the assassination of the fourth prince may cause quite a stir in the Da Qi court.
When passing by a nearby village, everyone once again saw a ghost "tapir?" that looked similar to humans, wore tattered clothes, and had sharp claws.
This time, Shi Lei did not take action immediately, but looked at Gu Xu beside him with a smile: "Can you solve them?"
Shi Lei had never seen Gu Xu fight before.
So he was very curious about Gu Xu's abilities.
Hearing Shi Lei's words, Gu Xu knew that he could no longer be a happy bastard, so he could only nod and said: "Of course, no problem."
Then, he took out a few fifth-generation "Tai Shang Arctic Demon Suppressing and Demon Killing Talismans" from his pocket and threw them at the "Tapir?"
The strength of these "tapirs" has not yet reached the level of "evil spirits", and the "ghost-killing talisman" is enough to easily deal with them without the need to use more means.
In an instant, light burst out, filling everyone's field of vision.
The sky, the ground, and the dilapidated houses in the village were all bright white, and the white was tinged with gold, as if the whole world had become a furnace of boiling copper water, making it difficult for everyone to open their eyes.
After a while, the light faded.
There was only a puddle of ashes ahead, and there was no trace of "Tapir?"
PS: Sorry for the lag, the update is a bit late.
