Chapter 16 The Peaceful Life of Cultivation
The Gu family’s castle is very big. Gu Yan came here and was not very familiar with the road. As the two walked, Gu Mingze said, “One day I will take it away and walk a few more times, and I will naturally become familiar with it.”
The two of them were talking, and a few people turned around from the corner. Several people were wearing strong suits, and they were talking very casually. The head was a girl, who was Gu Ruoyu who Gu Yan had met when she was in Mingtang, and who was quite hostile to herself. The youngsters in the back were all about her age. Some of them had met in Mingtang, while others were still raw.
Gu Ruoyu looked a little cold when she saw the two of them chatting and laughing, and she snorted and said, “Sixth brother is too warm, he has only been here for a day, so he can talk and laugh?”
She said that she was holding a gun and carrying a stick. Gu Yan’s face changed, but Gu Mingze didn’t care, he smiled and said, “The ancestor asked me to be the leader of each disciple and be responsible for arranging the chores. The seventeenth sister first came, I Naturally, let her get acquainted with the environment. Ruoyu, if you come back after hearing the sermon, if you don’t go to meditate and realize it, what are you going to do?”
Seeing his smile, Gu Ruoyu had no words to refute for a while, and said, “Next month is the opening day of Tianmushanfang City. I want to go to the back mountain with the big guy to see if we can hunt a few spirits. The beast is back.”
Gu Mingze nodded and said, “You must be careful when you go out.” After waving his hand, he took Gu Yan and walked forward. Gu Yan looked at Gu Ruoyu’s back and said with a half-smile, “It seems that this girl is quite popular with the younger generation, doesn’t she?”
Gu Mingze listened to her words with sharpness, and smiled bitterly: “If Yu’s words are more straightforward, you don’t have to worry about it.”
Gu Yan said lightly: “Little sister has always been good-natured. It’s just that if someone bullies me, I will never listen to others’ mercy.”
Gu Mingze couldn’t help laughing bitterly: “You. You seem to be gentle and quiet, but in fact, just like your father, you don’t take any losses at all.”
Gu Yan raised his eyebrows: “How do you say this?”
Gu Mingze said: “Speaking of which is the old thing of the past. I also vaguely heard the elders mention it. Ruoyu’s father is about the same age as your father. Both of them were young and energetic back then. Your father injured him. Because he did not know the severity of the shot, he was punished by the then patriarch to face the wall for a year to think about it. Later, after facing the wall, the two had an argument again for some reason. Ruoyu’s father practiced hard for a year, I thought I could get along with your father, but who knew that this time, I would be beaten down in just one stick of incense. Ruoyu’s father was injured, and because he was stagnant in one breath, his realm could not be improved. Now I have been in seclusion for many years, and I don’t even see my wife and daughter.”
“So it is.” Gu Yan nodded. Her expression was a little stunned. It turned out that the old and hard-working father in the impression also had a young and frivolous time. She remembered what Gu Ruoyu had just said about Fangshi, so she asked Gu Mingze for advice.
Gu Mingze explained to her. It turns out that Tianmu Mountain is a rare spiritual vein in the territory of Yue, and it has always been a frequent place for monks. The three major sects of Tianmu Mountain will open a market at the foot of the mountain from time to time, and each sect will take turns hosting. Mainly to facilitate the exchange of spiritual items in the hands of monks, as well as cultivation experience and the like. The square market where the disciples of the Qi refining period gather is usually opened at the foot of the mountain. As for the monks in the Foundation Establishment period, they will have another place.
Gu Mingze pointed to the outside again and said: “There is a red leaf valley in the back mountain of Qingyun Mountain. There are many spiritual beasts growing in it. Generally, high-level monks in the Qi refining period like to catch one as a companion. So Ruoyu wants to catch one. A spirit beast, it’s good to exchange some good things in the market.”
Gu Yan asked, “What good things are there?”
Gu Mingze snapped his fingers and said, “There are spirit stones, talismans, and if you are lucky, you can get spirit tools or something. You know, some monks have a lot of strange things in their hands, although they are not high in cultivation. Everyone gets what they need.”
Gu Yan said “oh”, she was quite moved when she heard it, if it wasn’t for the short time and the shallow cultivation, she would really want to go to Fangshi to see it.
The two walked to a fork in the road and then parted ways. Gu Yanzi returned to her residence and found that Qin Wuyang was still meditating in the house and did not come out. She ignored her and went to practice on her own.
Today, Gu Tingchen once told her that the book “Dongming Zhenjue” is the homework for the disciples of the Gu family to start their practice. As long as you cultivate this practice to a satisfactory level, you can continue to practice the Taiyi Jue, the Burning Heaven Jue and other advanced techniques. Today, although she didn’t reveal her secret, she asked Gu Tingchen how to get rid of distracting thoughts and calm her mind. Press it to try it, and it really works. Although the roar still reverberated in her sea of consciousness, she was barely able to reach the state of meditation.
After three months, Gu Yan’s cultivation progressed very quickly, and he had already entered the second level of Qi Refining. Gu Yan was also very surprised. With her talent, progress should not have been so fast.
It was Gu Mingze who explained her doubts. She practiced according to the book for four years. Although her progress was not fast, her foundation was very strong, and her meridians were tempered to be very tough. Therefore, with the guidance of the monks, she naturally progressed quickly. It’s just that the practice becomes more and more difficult, but she doesn’t want to continue cultivating at such a speed.
These days, Gu Yan is also living a good life here. Gu Mingze took great care of her, and he wondered if he was entrusted by the sixth patriarch. Gu Moyan and her are also very compatible. The two have similar cultivation bases, one is on the second floor and the other is on the third floor. They often discuss Taoism together. With the two of them, Gu Yan is very close.
It’s just that Gu Ruoyu still spoke coldly to her, and when she got the chance, she would make a little mockery. Some of Gu Ruoyu’s followers will also help. As for the others, most of them are indifferent onlookers. All in all, the two sides are at peace.
As for Qin Wuyang, the two of them have always gotten along lightly these days. Although she tried her best to act like a loving mother, Gu Yan always felt that she couldn’t get close to her. Maybe she saw her cold and heartless scene with her own eyes. All in all, Gu Yan’s life in Gu’s family can be regarded as relaxed and happy.
If there is something that bothers her, it is the problem of practice. The voice in the sea of consciousness was still echoing, and as she broke through the realm, the voice became even louder and louder. Gu Yan was surprised to find that the air mass in her sea of consciousness seemed to have become larger. The gas wrapped in it was even more viscous, and it was shaking like egg whites. Gu Yan was really worried that one day they would suddenly explode, and then with a bang, it would blow up both her dantian and Qi sea.
