At the foot of Ba Mountain, the village.
More than 20 houses are scattered among the mountains and fields, facing a river, and the environment is quiet. This village was abandoned and only used as a resting place for herb pickers, but it has slowly recovered in recent years, and it has become populated again.
The reason is nothing more than the rapid rise of the Bashan faction. In order to find out the news, some parties reset the residential area here.
It has been three years since the establishment of the Bashan faction. From being unknown to being well-known all over the world, it is mysterious, powerful, militant, and acts as it pleases. So far no one knows its exact location, let alone who is in charge, only one big disciple, Gu Xiaofei, is walking around.
There are hundreds of Xia Guo sects, and I have never seen anything like this!
In the afternoon, when Gu Yu walked into the village, he naturally attracted some attention. An old man who was basking in the sun at the door suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Young student, are you from the Bashan School?"
"How do you know?"
"This place is remote, and nine out of ten people who come here are there to learn from the teacher. It's a pity that ten of them go in, and ten come out. I've lived here for a year, and I haven't seen any successful ones."
The old man looked at him for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The Bashan sect likes children around ten years old. I'm afraid it won't work if you are a little older."
Well, I'm a bit older, I'm fifty years old!
Gu Yu was in pain, ignored him, and walked casually in the village by himself. It is an ordinary small village with a population of one hundred, mainly farming, and has not formed a related service industry—it seems that Xiaozhai is still controlling the population of the sect, and has not expanded wantonly.
He left the village and walked to the depths. The breath of the mountain protection circle was very obvious, and he went straight to the fifth mountain peak. I also met a group of people on the road, all of them were downcast, and after looking at him, nothing happened.
Soon, Gu Yu arrived at the foot of the mountain and saw a child holding a long sword about to go up the mountain. Seeing someone coming again, he wiped himself and stood still, asking:
"Are you here to apprentice too?"
"No, I'm here to worship the mountain, is your lord here?"
"Pay attention to your identity and the way you speak, what is an adult, called the head!" the child shouted.
"..."
Old Gu twitched the corners of his mouth, not bothering to think about it, and asked, "How can I go up the mountain?"
"Simple, better than a sword in my hand!"
There was another fight to fight, and the children immediately became excited. At the age of twelve or thirteen, he was childish and young, but he tried his best to pretend to be stable, very much like Zheng Kaixin back then.
"Come on, let's make a quick decision!"
He pointed his long sword and put on a posture. Before he could make a move, he suddenly saw a girl running down the mountain and shouted: "Junior Brother, don't mess around!"
The girl was petite and exquisite, she was very cute, she saluted and said: "Excuse me, my honored guest, the master just let him chase away those people who made trouble for no reason just now. The master knew about your visit and asked me to take you up the mountain."
She slapped her junior brother on the head hard, and the child dared not speak out about all kinds of grievances.
Gu Yu smiled, raised his foot and stepped over the mountain guard formation, and asked the two children with straight eyes, "What's your name?"
"My name is Shui Lanshao, and I am the third child. His name is Qing Buzi, and I am the fourth child."
Shui, Qing... are all small surnames.
"Is this the real name?" He asked curiously.
"Of course not, it's the dharma name given by the master. What's your honorable name?" Shui Lanshao asked with a smile.
"Oh, my surname is Gu."
"Hey, I have the same surname as Senior Sister, but it's a pity that Senior Sister is not here, maybe you are still in the same family!"
Shui Lanshao is very lively, although she is young, she is very skilled in dealing with people and things.
The vegetation on this mountain is dense, and there are very few artificial traces. The three of them walked along a winding path for two quarters of an hour before arriving at an open flat land, which should be a training ground.
An older boy was dancing a sword there, with an honest and meticulous face, unaware that someone was coming from here.
"His name is Fang Yuan, he is the second senior brother. It should belong to the third senior brother, but the original second senior brother left the mountain gate."
The three of them passed the training ground, walked for about half an hour, and finally reached the top of the mountain.
A rough residential area appeared in front of my eyes, with three thatched huts at the top, three on the left and three on the left and several utility rooms. Not to mention comparing with the Shenxiao sect, even ordinary local sects can't compare.
"Master is up there, let's take our leave first."
The two children were flabbergasted, and Gu Yu walked into the hut on his own, the living room was in the middle, the bedroom on the right was empty, and an old fairy was sitting on the left.
He tried his best to pretend that it was his first visit, and sighed: "Your place is too simple."
"Simple is better, there are not so many trivial things."
"Then at least find a few miscellaneous disciples to share some mundane duties."
"I have four apprentices. From the time they entered the mountain to now, they do the daily cleaning of food, clothing, housing and transportation by themselves. They are young, unstable in mood, and mundane tasks are also spiritual practice."
While talking, Gu Yu had already sat in front of the table, facing Xiao Zhai, still so bland without a trace of fireworks.
She put down the jade slip in her hand and asked, "How about Phoenix?"
"Old Chao brought bamboo rice over there, his mood was basically stable, and he promised not to kill people indiscriminately, and we also restrained the monks from harassing them."
"I heard that there is one male and one female, and the female is still hatching?"
"That's right."
"When the baby bird is born, I will go and see it."
Xiao Zhai showed some interest and asked, "How about my apprentices?"
"They are all beautiful jades and talents, and they deserve to be cultivated vigorously. But if you want to fight for Taoism, these few people alone are not enough."
"Twenty years, only three years have passed, don't worry."
"..."
The two were talking, but suddenly they stopped talking, and the air fell into silence.
Xiao Zhai didn't intend to ask at all. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he picked up the jade slips and continued to sort out the materials.
Gu Yu scratched his head, "If you don't mention it, it's hard for me to open my mouth. If I open my mouth, what the hell am I doing?"
After struggling for a long time, I decided to get straight to the point, "Uh, where is my second soul?"
"exist."
As soon as Xiao Zhai stretched out his hand, a translucent soul appeared in the palm of his hand, wrapped in a thin thunder net, and protected from the influence of external fluctuations. She still didn't have any intention of questioning it, but said: "This thing is interesting. I want to make one by lending you your soul crystal."
"Oh sure."
Gu Yu also spread his palms, set up a six-sided ice crystal, sent the soul crystal out, and then looked at Yuanshen eagerly.
Seeing his virtue, Xiao Zhai couldn't help squinting his eyes, and said: "I can give it to you, but you promise me one condition."
"What conditions?"
"follow me."
After the words fell, the two turned to the back mountain, where a hut stood alone.
Pushing the door open and entering, Gu Yu was startled, there were actually eight people laying inside, all neat and tidy, with their eyes closed and their faces calm. Obviously dead, but the body is well preserved, as if asleep.
"What is this?" He suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Your physical body has been destroyed, so I will search for it for you and pick out the one you like."
"..."
Gu Yu was silent, silent again, silent again and again, and then looked at the eight women with vivid eyebrows and eyes, Chunlan Qiuju, each with their own beauty...then turned his head and continued to remain silent.
"Choose? Don't you like playing trumpet? Men are so boring, change your face."
"Are you serious?"
"What do you say?"
Xiao Zhai raised his chin.
"..."
Gu Yu paused for a second, and resolutely admitted, "Sister, I was wrong, you hold your hand high."
"Where is it wrong?"
"I shouldn't have an old house on fire and have a second life, I shouldn't steal chickens and lose money, I shouldn't see mung beans right, in short, it's heinous, hacked into pieces, and it's not an exaggeration to go to the 18th hell !"
"Gu Yu, we've been together for thirty years, it's meaningless."
Xiao Zhai shook his head and said: "Find a reason that can convince me, but if you can't find it, you enter their body in front of me."
Tsk, this is so strange!
Gu Yu complained in his heart, not daring to play tricks anymore, and said seriously: "My evolution in the world will be a brand new civilization of practice. I want to put the second soul into it, grow naturally as an aboriginal, and strive for the first ascension. "
"Why the first to ascend?"
"The rules in the human world are similar to those in the present world. When a person dies, he dissipates into yin energy and enters the underworld; when the human way is perfect, he will ascend in the daytime and ascend to the fairy world. Only when the first person to ascend appears, can I create the fairy world. At that time, the three realms will be complete. With the penetration of luck, I can hit the Earth Immortal in one fell swoop!"
"The idea is good, how many years is it estimated?"
"It's not good inside, but it's at least 30 to 50 years outside."
"Well, not too long."
With a flick of his hand, Xiao Zhai threw the primordial spirit to him, and said, "At that time, I will separate the primordial spirit and go to the world for a while. Experiencing different cultivation systems will also help my Thor God."
After saying that, her face turned cold without warning, "Okay, get out after you've finished speaking!"
"No, you listen to my explanation."
Lao Gu still wanted to struggle, but was blown away by a burst of energy, and went straight out the door.
To be honest, Xiao Zhai really didn't care about those bad things before, what really angered her was this:
"If Xiao Fei has obsessions in his heart and hinders his cultivation, I will blast your Yuxu Palace!"
boom!
Shui Lanshao and Qing Buzi looked curious, watching the honored guest fly out of the house in extreme embarrassment, then brushed off their clothes as if nothing had happened, and strolled down the mountain leisurely.
Old Gu didn't know that he had no image in the hearts of the two younger generations, but he was very lucky. It's fine if you don't become a female number. I'm not really a pervert. Who wants to be a female boss? ? ?
But it was easier than imagined, the second soul was about to come back, but the soul crystal got in, but it didn't matter. As for Gu Xiaofei, he is very confident.
Children's personal relationship may not really be in the eyes of the little senior sister!
…
One month after the Phoenix incident.
On this day, a majestic and extraordinary green bull appeared outside the village. The village erupted immediately, if it wasn't for the recognition of the man on the back of the ox, it would have been thought that the monster clan had come to provoke him.
This green bull was willing to be a mount honestly, without a single complaint, even if it was inexplicably changed to a different thigh.
He carried his new owner into Bashan and came to the hut. Xiao Zhai turned out to be cold and waited outside, and then he saw the desolate disciple with a tired face slipping off the back of the bull and kneeling in front of him.
"Master, woo woo... woo woo..."
Without saying a word, I was crying with grief.
