"I feel regretful if I don't worship my master, if I don't practice the Tao, if I know the etiquette but can't follow it."
——It is recorded in the second section of Chapter 6 of the classic book "Tianyunlu".
The person who said these words was the founder of the Ming Gui Sect thousands of years ago. When he achieved the Nascent Soul realm and opened a forum for the cultivation world of Yan State, he said the famous sayings passed down from generation to generation.
Many disciples of the sect would not kneel down to pay respects to their master, would not practice diligently the Taoist teachings taught by them, and could not abide by the etiquette. Whenever he thought of the years of practice when he was young, he would feel sorry for his fellow disciples.
Therefore, the Ghost Sect he founded placed great emphasis on the inheritance of the master-disciple relationship. Although it has degraded over thousands of years, it has not changed much overall.
Unlike other sects, the process of joining the Underworld Sect is very simple, but the process of becoming a disciple is extremely complicated.
After choosing a day, taking a bath, and burning incense, the master in the foundation-building period will seek a witness of the same level. The apprentice will embed a drop of blood essence into the apprenticeship order, offer tea to the master, and kneel down and kowtow three times. This is a complete apprenticeship ceremony.
From then on, the master must sincerely impart his practice experience, and the disciple must never have second thoughts. If there is any violation on either side, both parties will be punished by the Law Enforcement Hall for treason.
The rules of the sect are like this and no one can change them. If Gu Liqin and Guo Ying don't want to be treated as traitors by the Underworld Cult, they can only take back their apprenticeship orders and destroy them directly.
Without this thing, they can truly be freed. Otherwise, as long as the apprenticeship order exists, they will always be the disciples of Qingqiu Fox, unless the latter takes the initiative to expel them. However, it is unrealistic to think about it.
At this time, Qingqiu Hu's eyes were as dark as a pool, seeming to hide countless turbulent waves. He calmly looked at the two men who threatened him without saying a word.
"Master, what do you mean by not speaking? Do you want him to come in?"
Now that he had decided to fall out, Gu Liqin had no intention of giving him any good temper. In an instant, his left hand pressed on the foam protection.
Luo Wu looked happy. If they cooperated inside and outside, they would have a greater chance of breaking the formation. He quickly shouted towards the barrier:
"Good nephew! Why bother arguing with him? Looking at your cultivation at the peak of Qi refining, I know that this old fox must have plans for you. Let us in quickly and deal with this sanctimonious old man!!"
Qingqiu Fox withdrew his distant gaze, shook his head in disappointment, sighed and said:
"Do you two really think that the Mother and Child Enchanting Formation is that easy to break?"
"Gu Liqin, Guo Ying, you all think about it carefully," Qingqiu Hu paused and continued: "Did I ask you to do anything that would make people angry? I asked you to threaten me with a token. Is it wrong to be my disciple? Are you ready?"
"Who was in danger in Youlongtan in Tianyun calendar 4276? If I hadn't saved you, Gu Liqin! You would have become an unknown corpse in the river!"
After hearing this, Gu Liqin's eyes visibly froze.
"And you, Guo Ying! Although I usually treat you harshly, have you ever thought about why I am like this? It is because I treat you like my own daughter that I ask you like this!"
"Tianyun Calendar 4274, you went crazy while practicing. Do you know how much that evil-suppressing pill is worth? Since it has happened today, I will tell you!"
"One hundred and forty thousand low-grade spiritual stones!! That's enough for the two of you to save for several years! You two bastards betrayed me today and colluded with outsiders to deceive me and destroy our ancestors. Is this how you repay me?!"
The more Qingqiu Hu talked, the angrier he became, and finally he roared at the two of them, scaring Guo Ying so much that he didn't dare to look directly into Qingqiu Hu's eyes, and hid directly behind Gu Liqin.
The former faced him without fear and said righteously: "Master! What you said is too serious! What does it mean to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors? My senior sister and I only know one sentence, which is to be defensive. Indispensable!”
"Before us, you accepted a total of four cultivators as your disciples, but they all died mysteriously when they were at the peak of Qi refining. Do you really think it's not strange at all!"
"You...are the one who killed them!!" Gu Liqin pointed at Qingqiu Fox and said slowly.
"Hahaha....."
Not only were the monks from the Beast Control Sect behind Luo Wu dumbfounded, but he himself also laughed wildly and said: "Chou Shukun!! You are so cunning and cunning that even your disciples don't obey you! Why don't you die quickly?" !!”
"you shut up!!"
Qingqiu Hu clenched his fists and suddenly became excited: "Gu Liqin! I never thought you would dare to investigate me behind my back?!"
"If you don't do anything wrong, why are you afraid of my investigation?" Gu Liqin countered.
"Very good... In that case, then you just break the formation and collude with outsiders! But you two remember, unless I die, you will never take away this apprenticeship order!!"
"Hahaha!" Gu Liqin laughed heartily, as if he had seen through the Qingqiu Fox, and said in a mocking tone: "My good master! At this time, you are still saying harsh words, do you think you have a chance to win? Already?"
"I'll give you one last chance, hand over your apprenticeship order, and we'll turn around and leave!"
"You will know the consequences when I pull the hanging coffin up!" Qingqiu Hu said in a gloomy tone. If his hands were not restricted, Gu Liqin would have been captured long ago. How could he be allowed to run wild here?
"Then go to hell!" Gu Liqin's eyes were sharp, he took out a pale golden bone vertebra from the storage bag, and shouted loudly, "Do you know this thing?"
"What?! Stop!!!"
Qingqiu Fox's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw this magic weapon. He no longer regained his previous calmness. Without any hesitation, he instantly released a black chain and struck hard in the direction of Gu Liqin and Guo Ying with the other palm. !
However, it was still too late. Gu Liqin struck faster and struck the largest bubble barrier with one blow. At that moment, the entire air wave composed of silver light suddenly collapsed, and there was no longer any contact between the more than ten people from the Beast Control Sect and the Underworld Sect. Block! !
"--boom!"
A strong gust of wind blew away the Qi Refining monks behind Luo Wu, and also threw Gu Liqin and Guo Ying to the rock wall of the cave. Only Luo Wu resisted the Qingqiu Fox's attack and still stood intact.
Chen Mo and Gu Yao were also shaken by the fluctuations and took a few steps back. However, the iron chain had not let go yet. Chen Mo's mind was changing over and over again. The situation changed so fast that he was unable to resist!
But at this moment, a strange scene occurred.
The golden bone vertebrae suddenly burst, and the gold powder turned into took root at the location of the original pink barrier. In just one breath, an indestructible golden shield wall was re-formed! !
"Hehehe...My good disciple! You have still come this far..."
Qingqiu Fox suddenly laughed strangely, and his voice was so evil that it made everyone here shiver!
"Split your soul and come out..."
Chou Shukun raised his hand and made a move. No one had passed through the passage of the Qimen Dunjia Formation, but a thin figure slowly walked out.
"Li...Junior brother Li Fan?!" Gu Liqin and Guo Ying screamed out at the same time, their eyes widening in disbelief!
