The spring exam is over, and all twelve disciples have passed.
After everyone dispersed, Laozi Wu called Gu Yu into the inner room alone, and about half an hour later, he came out with a dozen talismans.
That's right, a dozen.
The practice system of the small world is different, the gas gathering period is already very destructive, and there are so many spells to instantly increase physical strength, speed, defense, etc., that they don't pay attention to the way of martial arts.
In the autumn exam that day, Gu Yu killed Xu Jie with a short sword, which attracted everyone's attention. However, they all thought it was passed down from family, or given by someone else, and the power accumulated over time.
But from today's perspective, that Lu Xiaolian is obviously a beginner, but her power is not small, and there is a very subtle sense of fit with the gas gathering period.
That's why Mr. Wu asked him for a detailed inquiry.
Gu Yu was even happier, and took the initiative to donate the sword formula. He made up a random origin and named it "Green Leaf Sword Jue".
After some understanding, Wu Laozi found that when he casts it, he can transfer the true energy, and the energy can be poured into the sword body, which can greatly improve the combat power. It is of certain value to monks in the gas harvesting period, but it is meaningless to concentrating, but even so, he is extremely excited.
Because this thing can be popularized, if it enters Chengzhi, it will be considered a credit.
Ever since, Gu Yu handed over the sword formula to Laozi Wu on the condition that he can learn all the talismans of Luming Temple for free. He didn't care about it at all, he came here to promote his practice, and he wished to incorporate some new gadgets.
All in all, the spring exam didn't have a big impact on everyone.
It's just that the senior brother and the second senior brother have become more depressed, Long Yunfeng's status has subtly improved, Lu Xiaolian has become more confident, and Gu Yu's practice points have risen to 400 points per season, and more than 20 runes need to be inscribed...
Looking north for five miles, there are green mountains and waterfalls.
It is the rainy season of the year again, the familiar lingering, sticky and annoying. Gu Yu sat on the boulder, the water vapor splashed by the waterfall mixed with the drizzle, one went down and the other went up, forming a strange fusion.
He learned the Seven Ways of Art in the Chen Mansion, and then exchanged the Gengjin Controlling Qi Art with Wu Laozi, the Cloud Rain Art with Long Yunfeng, and the Flame Lantern Art with Lu Xiaolian, that's ten ways.
This time, he brought in twenty talismans with various powers. He picked out the water-type ones, there were eight in total, and then began to practice.
It seems to be predestined to say that Gu Yu first practiced "Spring Yin Bringing Rain Jue" and then "Flying Waterfall Jue", both of which were related to water. And he always has a feeling that he is really more friendly to water, and he is more comfortable in performing spells.
If you have a feeling, you have to experiment, and you can never make progress without experimenting.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and Gu Yu sat there without moving, relying on a bigu pill, thoroughly researching the Eight Paths of Water Movement. In addition to the previous meetings, there are twelve courses in total.
"rise!"
Gu Yu stretched out his hand, and the deep pool surged violently, and a jet of water as thick as a large vat flew up, turning into a water dragon about three feet in mid-air, complete with beard and tail, roaring and rushing towards the waterfall.
boom!
The water dragon slammed into the waterfall, just like the falling water of the Milky Way was interrupted for a short time, and soon resumed, and the water dragon was also smashed into pieces, turning into silver stars.
"Water dragon technique!"
Gu Yu flicked his sleeves, caught all the silver stars, and let them go again, wow!
A small group of dark clouds surged over the deep pool, and in an instant there was a drizzle, which was misty.
"Cloud and Rain Technique!"
The rain was pouring, but before it hit the ground, the trickle turned again, as if countless water droplets gathered to build a square cage.
"Water prison!"
boom! The cage dissipated in the blink of an eye, and Gu Yu stretched out his left hand to grab it, and those drops of water also condensed into a big hand, and he grabbed it forward with his movements.
In an instant, the rocks rolled down, the trees were uprooted, and a small piece of the mountain wall was hollowed out.
"Spirit Capture!"
The big hand retracted violently, and five abstract fingers swished out, which were divided into dozens of sharp arrows, which exploded on the mountain wall with a bang bang bang, creating a mess again.
"Water Archery!"
Gu Yu performed the twelve water movements in a row, and suddenly felt that his true energy was emptied, his head was dizzy, and his body was unstable. He didn't take drugs to adjust his breath immediately, but stroked his forehead, desperately trying to keep a trace of inspiration that appeared in his mind just now.
Water, one of the origins of the world.
Nothing in the world is weaker than water, but against the strong, nothing can win.
Because it is both invisible and tangible. Water itself is invisible, but it can present various tangible changes in various environments.
When gathered together, it becomes the sea, when scattered, it becomes rain, when it goes up, it becomes air, and when it goes down, it becomes a spring. …
Its weakness comes from being able to do anything, and its strength comes from being able to do anything.
Ever-changing, not limited to shape, is the root of water.
Gu Yu clutched his forehead, seemed to feel better, barely raised his eyes to see, it was still the stretch of green hills and the waterfall that separated the green hills.
"Eternity is as long as Bai Lianfei, and a boundary breaks through the green mountains."
Gu Yu looked at it at that time, it was this kind of feeling, but now, it is another feeling. This white waterfall is pouring down straight and straight, is it because it is like this
Of course not, it is this mountain, this layer of rocks, and the overlapping forests that make it look like this.
Of course it changes!
"Wow, boom!"
"Boom!"
Flying down, broken stars filled the sky, Gu Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide, because he saw that the top of the waterfall seemed to twist. He closed his eyes and looked again. Sure enough, the waterfall was indeed moving!
Like a silver dragon that had been sleeping for a long time, it finally woke up, lazily raised its huge head... The whole waterfall was separated from the mountain wall, as if it was about to fly...
Then, plop!
An unbearable pain suddenly washed over his soul and body, and he was on the verge of falling, falling into the pool.
After a while, he paved the bluestone out of breath, and couldn't help but smile wryly.
He can guarantee that it was definitely not an illusion just now, but a glimpse of the true meaning of the law, but it is a pity that the realm is too low, the spirit can't bear it, and he almost passed out.
"well… "
Gu Yu dried his body and sighed: "If you want to eat food in one bite, it's better to upgrade first!"
…
Passing a horse through the window, time does not live.
Oops, what a nice use of the word!
Three years have passed in a blink of an eye.
It was the end of spring, after a rain at night, the vast Luming Mountains were already lush and green, with dead trees rejuvenated, thick moisture in the forest, birds flying at low altitude, and colorful and weird fungi all over the ground.
"Roar!"
A few roars broke the silence in the mountains, the branches and leaves shook violently, and two red-faced mandrills with one-legged hairy sprang out, with anger and fear on their faces, they ran away in a panic.
"Where to run!"
A small figure came from behind, waved his hands, and two red lights made of flames wrapped around his body, "Go!"
Whizzing!
The red light flew out, each looking for a target, and bombarded the mandrill as if it had been tracked and positioned.
"Aw!"
The two spirits only let out a scream, and were immediately burned to charcoal. The red light turned around in the humid forest and dissipated by itself.
"Brother, there are two whiteboards again!"
Lu Xiaolian ran over to take a look, the skeleton was dark and fragile, not a foreign species, she couldn't help being disappointed. As for the whiteboard, I learned it from someone, which means a hot chicken monster who doesn't explode at all!
"How can there be such a chance to meet aliens? These two just make up enough tasks, which is not bad."
Gu Yu approached slowly, cut off a piece of bone from the top of the mandrill's head, took the little hand of his junior sister, wiped himself and walked out.
Lu Xiaolian blushed, and she was quite used to letting him pull her.
One is already twelve years old, a handsome young man, and the other is also ten years old, a full-fledged beauty. Walking together is like a childhood sweetheart, a match made in heaven.
Tsk tsk, the daughter-in-law is old and yellow, how can there be a young junior sister who is fresh and delicious!
In the past three years, there have been many changes in various aspects.
Chen Jing has done a good job in Qingping Mansion, and the officials are transferred every three years, but according to the meaning, the government intends to let him serve another term. He had a letter from his family every two months, and he was puzzled by this matter, and there was hidden worry in his words.
My brother Chen Gui won the imperial examination and was also sent to Dongsi Mansion as an eighth-rank county magistrate. My brother-in-law was also promoted to a higher level in Xichuan Mansion, and my sister Chen Yan was also good, and gave birth to a big nephew for me.
As for Guannei, the first and second senior brothers felt that there was no hope of promotion, so they returned the jade pen the year before last and resigned as civil servants. Long Yunfeng was promoted to a senior sister, and she was also very competitive, breaking through the concentration period last year.
It's just that there is no vacancy for Taoist officials, and the identity is temporarily reserved, and this will be wandering outside.
During this period, two more disciples failed the spring exam and were expelled from the temple. In other words, Gu Yu moved up four ranks to become the seventh senior brother, and Lu Xiaolian also became the eighth senior sister.
Guo Kejing and Xun Yu are still the same, but Wu Laozi, by virtue of his achievements in discovering talents and offering swordsmanship, finally got some resources, and retreated a few months ago.
However, he is too old, and now he has run out of lamps, and he has a bit of a sense of success or benevolence.
But they said that they left Luming Mountain, and because they were on the way, they turned to their home to have a look.
It wasn't the first time Lu Xiaolian came here, she seemed very generous, and Chen's mother also loved her very much, and she felt like a mother-in-law seeing her daughter-in-law immediately.
Gu Yu didn't bother to pay attention to it, he just said: "Did father come with a letter?"
"Oh, I forgot if you didn't mention it. I just received one this morning. It's just a little weird."
Mother took out a letter, and he took a look. The front part was filled with daily greetings, but there was a paragraph at the end, which seemed to be added on the spur of the moment.
Telling them not to act rashly, Xiaoqi will stay in the Taoist temple, and Chen's mother will stay at home. If the situation is really bad, Chen Yan will come to pick Chen's mother to live in Fucheng.
Gu Yu also looked at it in a daze, every word reminded, but every word was cryptic. Dad must know something, and it's not easy to directly reveal it.
"Mom, is there anything unusual in the county recently?" he asked.
"Is it strange..."
This ancient middle-aged woman, Wen Qing, thought for a while, and said: "Zhiyanzhai has a new rouge, and it costs ten red coins a box; Mobaozhai has a new batch of scripts, which are sold out in half an hour... Forget it. Isn't that unusual?"
"..."
Gu Yu was silent for a while, then turned to ask the housekeeper, "Uncle Zhong, have you found anything?"
"Back to young master, everything else is fine, that is, the prices of rice, noodles, and meat have risen by 30% for nothing in the house's daily purchases. The old slave asked, and all the shops said that the supply of goods is tight recently, and the supply is limited..." the butler said.
Hiss!
Gu Yu smacked his lips, feeling a very bad premonition, and said, "Uncle Zhong, in the next few days, you will buy some food, wine, meat and daily household items, as much as you have, and then buy some horses and carts."
"Master, this is..."
"I'm not sure either, but just in case."
"Yes, the old slave understands."
The housekeeper shuddered, and became a bit solemn.
Gu Yu and Lu Xiaolian stayed in the mansion for one night, and got up early the next morning to return to the Taoist temple.
On the ten-mile journey, the two started light-body techniques and walked like flying, and soon saw the outline of the temple. Gu Yu had excellent eyesight, and saw that the gate was open, but no disciples came in or out, and there was a strange silence.
When they got closer, a person suddenly came out and hung two white lanterns on the left and right sides of the gate.
This person is the new tenth junior brother. Seeing the two of them back, his eyes turned red, "Seventh senior brother, eighth senior sister, Guanzhu... Guanzhu just passed away from heaven!"
