After Qingchen left, Guanzhu Chen remained silent, just sipping the tea.
The words Qingchen said are still echoing in my ears.
If this were said from anyone's mouth, he would not feel anything special.
Only, it came from Qingchen's mouth.
If it were Gu Yuan, he would just slap the table and tell the other person to get out.
Who do you think you are? Even if you are the sword holder of Star City, you can’t teach me how to do things!
Others, too.
But it happened that it was Qingchen, the disciple he raised single-handedly, and also the most obedient disciple.
I don't know how long it took, but Guanzhu Chen put down his teacup and drank lightly at the door.
"Invite Gu Yuan and Miss Xia over."
The disciples of Qingyun Temple who were guarding the door did not dare to neglect after hearing this and quickly took the order and left.
About twenty minutes later.
Gu Yuan took Xia Youzhi and sat in front of Guanzhu Chen.
Next to Guanzhu Chen was the great elder of Qingyun Temple whom Gu Yuan had met before.
After Gu Yuan and Xia Youzhi sat down, Guanzhu Chen said with a smile, "How was your shopping just now?"
"It's very good. Qingyun Temple is indeed a sect of Cave Heaven Paradise. The scenery is pleasant. It is indeed a good place to cultivate one's moral character." Gu Yuan said with a smile, "Whenever I can have some free time in the future, I will definitely have to stay here for a while. It’s a lung cleanser.”
Guanzhu Chen narrowed his eyes: "Why bother? If you are willing, you can stay in Qingyun Temple from now on. How about I make you an elder?"
Gu Yuan laughed loudly and quickly handed over his hand: "Thanks to Guanzhu Chen for your love, these words make my heart ache! If you become an elder of Qingyun Temple and stay in a place like this every day, it will be considered leisurely!"
He looked very interested at first, then frowned and sighed.
"It's a pity that I really can't have any time now. Qingchen is also a member of the Demon Suppression Department. Guanzhu Chen must also know that some time ago, the Demon Suppression and Demonic Control Departments in all the cities in Daxia were in continuous rotation. In addition, the Demon Suppression Department in Northern Xinjiang The situation on the border is critical, and some people have been transferred there. There is a serious shortage of manpower, and the sword holders have become a chore!"
Listening to Gu Yuan's complaint, the corners of Guanzhu Chen's mouth twitched slightly.
Apart from anything else, Gu Yuan's acting skills are quite good.
From the longing at the beginning to the worry now, the change of emotions is very natural and very layered.
Chen Guanzhu can give him five stars!
"Well, it's really not easy to be a sword holder." Guanzhu Chen praised him appropriately.
After all, Gu Yuan had been talking for a long time. As a listener, he couldn't let his words fall to the ground.
Just when Gu Yuan was about to continue speaking, Guanzhu Chen slapped his head.
"Oops, I almost forgot!"
He glanced at the great elder, who quickly took out a box and placed it on the table in the middle.
The wooden box is about the size of a palm, and the patterns on it are very gorgeous, and they are definitely not machine-carved.
"What is this?" Gu Yuan asked doubtfully.
"Of course this is a meeting gift for Miss Xia." Guanzhu Chen said with a smile, "This is the first time Miss Xia comes to our Qingyun Temple. As an elder, I can't be without any courtesy."
Xia Youzhi waved his hands quickly, and Gu Yuan also said at the side: "Guanzhu Chen is trying to point me out. We, the juniors, come here empty-handed."
Guanzhu Chen waved his hand: "How can any elder care about the younger generation? Okay, this is what I gave to Miss Xia, not you. Besides, it's not a valuable thing."
Looking at the serious expression on Guanzhu Chen's face, Gu Yuan knew that it would not look good if he gave in again.
Guanzhu Chen had already opened the box smoothly.
What surprised Gu Yuan was that the box contained a sachet.
"The herbs in this sachet can calm the mind and improve concentration. It is also unique to our Qingyun Temple and is only available to core disciples."
"I see, then thank you very much, Guanzhu Chen!"
Xia Youzhi picked up the sachet and smelled it, with a look of joy on his face: "It's really fragrant. I like this smell very much. Thank you Guanzhu Chen!"
"You're welcome, this is just the first portion, let's go." When Guanzhu Chen spoke, he stood up.
Gu Yuan was a little confused: "Where are we going?"
Guanzhu Chen smiled: "You'll know when the time comes."
This pretense of mystery really aroused the curiosity of Gu Yuan and Xia Youzhi.
He and Xia Youzhi followed Guanzhu Chen and the Great Elder. The path they took at first was quite familiar to Gu Yuan and Xia Youzhi.
After all, these two people were wandering around Qingyun Temple for a long time before.
But as we walked, we arrived in the dense forest.
Seeing that Chen Guanzhu was determined to show off, Gu Yuan simply didn't bother to ask.
After walking for about half an hour, Gu Yuan estimated that he had reached the highest point.
Moreover, on the way here, Gu Yuan also discovered the qi of several masters. The opponent must be from Qingyun Temple, but he did not show up, so he should have acted as a secret whistle.
soon.
A three-meter-high stone tablet appeared in Gu Yuan's sight.
The writing on the stone tablet is mottled, and it is covered by a golden barrier, which should have a protective effect. But even so, there is still a corner of the stone tablet that is incomplete, and those who see it will feel an indescribable regret in their hearts.
The words on the stone tablet are still very clear.
Gu Yuan himself stared at the stone tablet for a long time. Although he could probably make out some of the content, it was a bit obscure.
When he turned around, he saw that Xia Youzhi was fascinated.
"Xiaoxia, can you understand?" Gu Yuan asked softly.
"Yes, can't you understand?" Xia Youzhi looked at Gu Yuan in surprise.
Gu Yuan looked at Xia Youzhi who looked serious, coughed slightly, and said seriously: "Of course I can understand."
Behind him, Guanzhu Chen said with a smile: "This is the forbidden area of our Qingyun Temple. Even our disciples are not allowed to enter without permission. And this stone tablet is the sword tablet left by the founder of our Qingyun Temple."
"Sword monument?" Gu Yuanxin said, this sounds a bit uncivilized, how can it be like swearing...
Guanzhu Chen glanced at him, ignored him, and said directly to Xia Youzhi: "Miss Xia, you can come closer and carefully observe the contents of the sword stele. Although you are a disciple of the Sword Sect, the swordsmanship inheritance of our Qingyun Temple is not bad at all. ! As for how much you can comprehend, it all depends on your talent!"
"This... Guanzhu Chen, is this appropriate?" Xia Youzhi asked uneasily.
Guanzhu Chen also said that this is the swordsmanship inheritance of Qingyun Temple, but he is a disciple of the Sword Sect!
Chen Guanzhu said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter. The sword stele is profound and obscure. Coupled with the erosion of wind and rain, and the passage of time, part of the content has been lost. Even the disciples of Qingyun Temple are not able to truly understand it. However, that boy Qingchen is quite talented. I benefited a lot from staying here for a few days.”
Xia Youzhi nodded quickly, then carefully walked into the barrier, sat cross-legged, and looked at the sword monument in front of him, lost in thought.
Gu Yuan also looked at it for a long time and sighed.
"I really don't understand. Do I really have no talent?"
"You're not a swordsman, what do you want to do to understand this?" Chen Guanzhu asked angrily, "Besides, don't you know whether you have talent or not?"
Gu Yuan grinned.
In fact, he didn't know whether he was a gifted person or not.
When he went to school, he didn't think he was a smart student, although the elders always said: This kid is smart, but he just doesn't focus on studying.
But he knew that he was not smart at all. It always took a long time to memorize words and texts. If he missed two classes in mathematics, he would never understand again.
A truly talented person should be able to learn anything very quickly.
And what about yourself?
In the eyes of others, he seems to be a very talented person. Otherwise, how could he have S-level strength in such a short period of time?
But Gu Yuan felt that this was more because of his special profession.
He is a different kind of priest!
Because you can obtain demon energy by sacrificing demon souls, Gu Yuan gained considerable combat power from the beginning.
Other than that, it's just good luck.
Throughout my journey, luck often played a very important role.
Seeing Gu Yuan pondering for a long time, Chen Guanzhu said: "Don't think about all this, don't disturb her."
Gu Yuan laughed and said, "This is natural."
He wasn't careless, so how could he disturb Xia Youzhi at this time?
He hoped that Xia Youzhi could understand something from this sword tablet, and this was also Xia Youzhi's opportunity.
Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Guanzhu also chatted with Gu Yuan about business matters.
"I really underestimated you. I originally thought that you were planning to give up, but I didn't expect that you wanted to bypass me and directly lure the disciples of Qingyun Temple away?" Guanzhu Chen said with a half-smile.
Gu Yuan was stunned, and understood that the other party was talking about the things that happened in the martial arts field before, and said awkwardly: "It means that the brothers and sisters of Qingyun Temple are too enthusiastic and insist on competing with me. Those words were just said casually, the master of the temple But don’t pay attention.”
"Then you can't talk nonsense!" Guanzhu Chen said angrily, "Is the reason your strength has improved so fast really because of the Demon Suppression Division?"
"if not?"
"People like you won't be buried without the Demon Suppression Division." Guanzhu Chen shook his head.
Gu Yuan didn't think so.
If he had not joined the Demon Suppression Division, even if Gu Yuan became extraordinary, he would still be doing what he was supposed to do. He would still stay away from demons when he encountered them. In this way, not only would he lose a lot of combat experience, but he would also not be able to sacrifice demon souls. , in the end it will only be ineffective.
When Guanzhu Chen talked about this, he didn't have to discuss this issue with Gu Yuan.
He looked at Gu Yuan and said, "Boy, do you think you can trick the disciples of my Qingyun Temple away?"
Gu Yuan also put away his smile and became serious.
He knew that Chen Guanzhu was ready to be honest with him.
"Those words can only plant a seed in their hearts, but they are disciples of Qingyun Temple after all. Even if they really want to join the Demon Suppression Division, you still have to nod."
"So, you also think that your hard work has been in vain?" Chen Guanzhu asked.
"Not necessarily, after all... you can't just do nothing all the time, right?"
Looking at Gu Yuan's serious expression, Chen Guanzhu remembered what Qingchen said before.
I feel really uncomfortable in my heart...
"What you want to say, Qingchen has said before, but I'm sorry, kid, your trip may be in vain this time." Chen Guanzhu said with a solemn expression.
