Gu Changqing packed his luggage. In fact, there was nothing to pack, just a piece of tattered clothes and two large grain pancakes, the kind that would irritate his throat after one bite.
The other thing is a hatchet covered with gaps and rust stains the size of rice grains. This is the most valuable thing in his family.
It has been five days since he came to this world, and he really can't stay here any longer.
This place is surrounded by mountains and wild animals. There are only a few dozen households in the village, and there is not even a woman who can look after them. They eat only when they are hungry and full, and they only eat big cakes with some boiled wild vegetables.
He felt that his throat was burning now, and the foam in his mouth felt like a knife scraping it.
Just eat those big pancakes.
Whoever wants to be treated in this place will get out of this mountain even if he dies.
As for the beast, he felt that it would not be a big problem if he just slid over it.
Moreover, he had practiced a few times in his previous life, and he still held a hatchet in his hand, so he was somewhat confident in dealing with ordinary beasts.
"Li Jiazi, what are you doing?"
As soon as I left the house, a rich old lady asked me.
This body was originally named Li.
"Go to Wangjia Village!" Gu Changqing said in a muffled voice.
A few dozen miles away is Wangjia Village. Every few months, caravans will arrive there. People from the surrounding villages will go to Wangjia Village with animal skins and herbs to exchange for some salt.
"You can't go alone. Last time there were seven or eight guys there, they were almost eaten by wolves!"
Gu Changqing completely turned a deaf ear, he had made up his mind to leave.
The next time he went to Wangjiacun to exchange things, he would have to wait at least two months. He couldn't stay for another two days.
As I walked quickly to the entrance of the village, I heard noises coming from outside.
"What's going on, what's going on?"
"The third son was dragged away by a tiger on the way... It took a lot of effort for a few of us to pick up the body... It's thanks to the big tiger that he wasn't hungry..."
Gu Changqing squeezed the people in front of him and saw only a few hunters in the village, two of whom had sad expressions on their faces.
There was still half a person on the ground, only his upper body was in a state of disrepair.
The lower body is gone.
After a while, everyone in the village gathered around, and the sound of wailing sounded at the entrance of the village: "My third son..."
Gu Changqing was silent for a moment, then returned to his house with his bag on his back.
He felt that he could endure it longer and was not in such a hurry to leave.
…
At night, Gu Changqing sat in the yard, looking at the unfamiliar starry sky.
No internet, no phone, nothing, how can we live like this...
When the caravan arrives in Wangcun in two months, he will go there with the men in the village. Then he will find a way to follow him to the county seat and then find a way to make some money.
Gu Changqing feels that with his level of business, it should not be difficult to make money.
His father taught him since he was a child that doing business is nothing more than finding ways to turn other people's money into your own.
Sometimes you can also omit unnecessary processes in the middle.
Just hold on to the core.
While he was thinking about it, Gu Changqing saw a bloody light approaching quickly in mid-air.
"What?" Gu Changqing stood up suddenly. The bloody light was definitely not a meteor. It even gave people a shaky feeling in the air.
As the distance got closer, he vaguely felt that there seemed to be a person in the bloody light, and then he saw the bloody light falling to the side of the village.
"Fuck, a practitioner?" Gu Changqing didn't have such a thing in his original memory, but he immediately reacted.
Gu Changqing went to the house and grabbed a hatchet, then picked a torch and a handful of dead grass from the village wall, and then ran quickly towards the side of the village.
This opportunity must not be missed!
After running for more than two miles outside the village, Gu Changqing held the stars and the moon in his arms, holding the hatchet tightly and looking around.
He was somewhat frightened, after all, there were many wild beasts at night, but he still fought hard for what was in the bloody light just now.
After searching for more than an hour, Gu Changqing finally saw many broken marks on the edge of a forest.
Looking at the dark forest, Gu Changqing calmed down.
He didn't know what was inside, or whether it was good or bad, but he knew one thing: if the other party wanted his life, he might not even have a chance to fight for it.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to go in.
The other party had stumbled when flying before, and fell from such a high place. If he waited until dawn, the other party might be seriously injured and die.
Even if he is not dead, he can still check the situation from a distance.
Thinking of this, Gu Changqing took a few steps back until he was under the field ridge, and then sat down.
About ten minutes later, there were several coughs inside, and then a weak voice said: "Who is outside?"
Gu Changqing became more and more vigilant and kept silent.
"Stop hiding, I heard your breathing." The voice sounded again.
Not only did Gu Changqing not speak, but he quietly moved a few steps to the side, and then moved a few more steps.
Then there was another violent cough, and the other person's voice became weaker.
"I am a disciple of Daofa Sect. When I went down the mountain, I encountered a demon who caused trouble. I fought with him, but unfortunately I lost. Now I am seriously injured and dying. I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the sect..."
"Come here, I will give you something, and you can send it back to Daofa Sect. This can be considered an opportunity for you!"
Gu Changqing listened to the opponent's position and moved slightly again. He now hated that he didn't have a gun in his hand. He could just shoot the opponent and go up to pick up the treasure.
"You're a little prudent kid, just let it go. This is my fate. There's nothing to say... Remember to send my belongings back to Daofa Sect... Unfortunately, I wanted to pass on the mantle and find a successor before I die..." The voice became weaker and weaker, gradually becoming inaudible.
Gu Changqing's heart was burning at this moment, but he never moved even a step.
He was still a little hesitant at first. Practitioners should have healing methods, right? Maybe after daybreak, the other party's injury will be better.
Don't talk about yourself then, the whole village will be easily crushed to death by the other party.
However, seeing that the other party was so eager to trick me into going there, I felt relieved.
And I feel more and more that the other person is not a good person.
I sat in the field until the sky turned white and the sun started to rise. Then I found a fist-sized stone from the surrounding grassland and slowly walked out of the field towards the edge of the forest.
The other party never came out of the woods last night, and Gu Changqing knew that the other party's injuries must be extremely serious, making it difficult to even move.
When I arrived at the edge of the forest, I looked for a moment towards the place where I spoke yesterday, and finally saw a person lying in the grass.
Only then did he realize that the other party was wearing a tattered purple robe, one leg and one arm were missing, and there were large wounds on his body, which were bloody and bloody.
The whole person lay there soundlessly, as if he was dead.
Gu Changqing directly threw the stone at the opponent's head.
There was still no response from the other party.
Gu Changqing picked up a few fist-sized stones and threw them on the opponent's head.
"died?"
Gu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the opponent's body. When he was a few meters away from the opponent, he suddenly tripped and fell forward. The hatchet in his hand hit the opponent's neck "by coincidence" Go down.
The corpse suddenly opened its eyes, full of ferocity and viciousness: "Boy... you..."
Before the ferocious smile appeared, he saw the hatchet chopped down.
puff!
This man's name is Kou Dahai, an ordinary demonic monk who by chance got the chance left by the demon king.
Then he was chased by several righteous monks. After a fight, he was seriously injured and was about to die.
I couldn't hold on when I was running for my life, so I couldn't help but be overjoyed when I saw a mountain village here. These people in the refining village could somewhat recover from their injuries.
Unfortunately, the injury was too severe and he couldn't hold on until he reached the village.
After falling, he couldn't even move and could only wait to die.
When Gu Changqing came over, hope suddenly rose in his heart. As long as he drained this kid's blood, he could regain some strength and then refine the people in the village.
However, this kid was so cunning and cunning that he waited outside all night and never came closer.
Kou Dahai was so angry that he wanted to peel off the boy's skin and cramps.
By morning, he was already unconscious. He was hit on the head by several rocks, and he suddenly became more awake.
I thought I could finally catch that kid this time, but I didn't expect that he would be stabbed when he opened his eyes. Instead, he, a demonic monk, died in the hands of an ordinary mountain man.
"Sorry, I fell and my hand slipped! Let me help you pull it out..." Gu Changqing stood up and pulled out the hatchet with force, and then slashed it down again.
After several blows in a row, Gu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief after cutting off the opponent's head.
Then he quickly groped around on the other person's body, and finally found a small bag on the other person's body.
Gu Changqing was overjoyed. He thought he had gotten some kind of storage bag used by immortal cultivators, but when he opened it, he found that it was just an ordinary bag. The material was made of unknown leather and it felt delicate.
After opening it, I saw a jade knife the size of a palm and a bead the size of a thumb.
Gu Changqing dragged Kou Dahai's body into the woods, and then couldn't wait to return to the village, so he found a place to check the jade knife and beads.
The jade knife was covered with tiny words. As soon as Gu Changqing reached out and touched it, the blood-red words appeared in his mind.
"Method of Refining God with Flesh"
"This book in the world of spiritual practice looks simple, and you can understand its meaning directly. If it is ordinary text, you may not be able to understand it, and if you understand it, you may not be able to practice it."
Gu Changqing's face changed, his brows furrowed at first, but then he let out a sigh of relief.
"This technique is not a good one. All living things in heaven and earth have spirits. This technique replenishes one's own body by refining the flesh and blood of living beings and generates spiritual energy. It can be said to be extremely cruel."
“Other than that, the threshold is extremely low and there are almost no requirements.”
"Besides, I don't have a choice."
What is the most important thing about spiritual practice? Of course it’s cultivation!
It is already a great opportunity for me to obtain a skill like this.
Gu Changqing rolled his eyes: "That person just now can still take advantage of the heat!"
"According to this technique, living creatures must be refined to replenish themselves. After a creature dies, its own spiritual energy and blood will dissipate. But those are practitioners, so maybe they can still take advantage of the heat..."
Although the dead are the most important, the living are the most important.
The other party is dead, just a broken skin, so he will definitely not care.
Gu Changqing couldn't wait, and hurriedly came to the corpse, glanced at the jade knife in his hand, and thrust it directly into the opponent's heart.
Thin veins formed by strands of blood climb along the jade sword's blade, making the jade sword full of a sense of mystery.
Gu Changqing only felt wisps of blood entering his body from the palm of his hand, and then traveling to all parts of his body, feeling a slight bulging sensation wherever he passed.
Then it was gone...
"What a pity..." Gu Changqing opened his eyes with regret on his face.
Sure enough, as said in that technique, once a person dies, his energy, blood, and spirit will dissipate.
What's more, I wasted a lot of time watching the technique myself.
Even the corpse of a cultivator would be of little help to him.
I waved my fist to feel it, and my blood became more abundant and my strength became slightly stronger.
Gu Changqing looked down and his eyebrows suddenly jumped.
All that was seen of the monk's body on the ground was a skeleton wrapped in skin, and all the flesh and blood seemed to have disappeared.
"This technique must not be known to anyone..."
Gu Changqing knew very well that this technique was cruel and vicious, and it was the most demonic technique among demonic techniques.
Once someone finds out, they will definitely shout and kill.
Not to mention the righteous way, even evil spirits and heretics will not let him go.
Gu Changqing threw the body aside and took out the beads to study for a while.
When in doubt, bleed first.
Then the bead suddenly flew into Gu Changqing's forehead, and Gu Changqing was shocked.
Then a white mist filled the air, wrapping Gu Changqing inside.
Gu Changqing couldn't care about Bai Wu at this moment, there was something else in his mind - the bead.
And there is a passage in the bead, leading to another... world!
As his thoughts moved, his figure disappeared on the spot.
…
Only half an hour after Gu Changqing disappeared, two figures appeared in front of the village.
There was a man and a woman. The man was dressed in white and handsome. The woman was in her late teens, had a cold and arrogant expression, and was wearing a blue dress.
"I didn't expect that Kou Dahai actually had a blood escape talisman, and he escaped so far."
"He was so seriously injured that he couldn't escape far. He would definitely find someone to devour him to recover from his injuries."
"He has obtained the treasure left by Lord Blood. If he escapes, it will bring disaster to the people. We must not let him escape."
