Chapter 20: Dark Son Chen Changqing
At the foot of the Zongmen Mountain, the two of them bowed their hands and bowed in front of the mountain gate.
But I saw a jade monument in front of me. It was six feet high and engraved with three characters, called the Spirit Devouring Sect! There was a stone staircase avenue beside the monument. Looking further inside, I could see misty clouds and mist, which made it hard to see clearly.
As for those two people, they were naturally Gu Xiaoxing and Du Siyu. At this moment, the two of them bowed in front of the mountain gate and waited. After a moment, their bodies tightened at the same time, and a terrifying consciousness descended on them, and there was a sound in their ears.
A loud bell-like voice.
"Good! In the battle of Blackwood Forest, the two of you fought to the death to save the secret son of our sect. You have made great contributions to the sect. You should be rewarded! The mountain gate... can enter!"
As soon as the sound fell, I saw the heavy fog condensed in the stone staircase avenue, turning into a group of gray clouds and floating in front of the two of them. Du Siyu looked calm and stepped forward. It was obviously not the first time to enter the mountain gate.
Gu Xiaoxing's eyes showed a mysterious look, imitating the others. She felt that the clouds were soft and soft, as if she had stepped into the mud and fell into it, which happened to stabilize her body.
The clouds floated up, carrying the two of them straight into the sect mountain. Gu Xiaoxing felt as if he was flying through the clouds and mist, and suddenly felt dizzy. In fact, with his strength at the fourth level of Qi Condensation, it was very easy to stabilize his body.
But in panic, he still subconsciously grabbed at it, but he caught a soft jade arm.
Du Siyu's face immediately turned cold, and he swung his hand violently, but he couldn't shake it off, so he became angry and slapped him with his backhand. With a "snap", screams rang out in the mountains of the sect.
The clouds were rising in the east and moving in the west. Gu Xiaoxing didn't know how it flew. Anyway, it appeared in front of a hall in a daze. Out of curiosity, it covered its face in pain. A few fingerprints were faintly visible on its face. Next
For a moment, the clouds suddenly dissipated, and he stumbled to the ground, almost falling.
Du Siyu landed firmly on the ground and glared at Gu Xiaoxing, his beautiful eyes filled with anger, as if he was going to hit someone if they disagreed.
Gu Xiaoxing didn't dare to answer the glare. She just thought that there was something wrong with the other person's brain and secretly curled her lips, "Tch, you're so skinny, no one wants to touch you."
"Come in yet."
At this time, there was a voice coming from the main hall, but it was different from the voice from the mountain gate before. Gu Xiaoxing felt vaguely familiar.
The two people's expressions became serious, and Gu Xiaoxing's brows trembled slightly. The palm prints on his face slowly disappeared, and then they walked into the palace door. There were two people standing on the high hall in the palace. Gu Xiaoxing took a quick look and realized
He knew why that voice sounded familiar, because one of those two people was his "great supporter", the sect's great elder Bai Zhenren.
Master Bai was also staring at Gu Xiaoxing, his face was calm and expressionless, but Gu Xiaoxing was a little embarrassed by his look, and couldn't help lowering his head, secretly feeling guilty.
Standing next to Master Bai was the old woman who came to the rescue yesterday. When she came, Gu Xiaoxing asked Du Siyu that this old woman was the second elder of the sect and had accepted Du Siyu as a registered disciple.
In addition to the two people above the high hall, there is also a young man standing under the high hall. It is the bloody man who was rescued in the black wood forest yesterday, who is also the sect's hidden son mentioned before. The two people in the hall have no expressions yet.
, on the contrary, the young man saw Du Siyu and his two eyes suddenly brightening, but it was not his place to speak at the moment, so he could only nod towards the two of them and cast a grateful look.
Gu Xiaoxing and the other two met in court. Before Master Bai Da could speak, the second elder spoke first. She said: "Okay, I don't like these tortuous rules. Boy, I heard what happened yesterday. You
very nice."
As she spoke, a crystal stone flew out from the cuff of the second elder and landed in front of Gu Xiaoxing. She continued: "I will give you a piece of spiritual marrow alone to help you achieve breakthroughs in cultivation."
Gu Xiaoxing quickly thanked him and took it. He started with the spiritual essence. It looked only slightly larger than the spiritual stone, but the fluctuations of the spiritual power it contained were completely different. The spiritual essence was flowing inside, and the pure spiritual power seemed to be condensed in a liquid state.
Among them, Gu Xiaoxing had the urge to absorb it immediately.
Licking my lips subconsciously, what a good thing!
Then, the second elder turned his gaze to Du Siyu, his eyes were obviously softer, and said: "Siyu, you are not a spirit-eating body. Methods such as absorbing spiritual marrow to quickly improve your cultivation are not suitable for you. Come with me.
My master has prepared spiritual liquid for you, which can strengthen your body, condense your consciousness, and help you break through to the eighth level of Qi Condensation in one fell swoop."
"Thank you, Master! The disciples of this outer sect competition are determined to be Master." Du Siyu bowed and bowed.
The second elder shook his head and smiled, then left with Du Siyu.
At this time, there were only three people left in the hall. Under the high hall, the young man looked calm and said nothing. Master Bai suddenly showed an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and said: "The cultivation level is improving very fast. In the blink of an eye, I can condense my energy."
It’s on the fourth floor, I think I’ve had a good meal in the sect recently!”
Gu Xiaoxing's heart was trembling, and she felt like she was being seen through. Could it be that Master Bai knew everything? His expression immediately became solemn, and he said respectfully: "I would also like to thank Uncle Bai for the kindness! Without Uncle Bai, there would be no life."
Xiaoxing, Xiaoxing has no parents, but from now on, in Xiaoxing's heart, Uncle Bai will be like a reborn parent. As long as Uncle Bai gives an order, Xiaoxing will never dare to frown! "
Gu Xiaoxing became more and more excited as he talked, and even patted his chest with a sincere look on his face.
Master Bai twitched the corner of his mouth, secretly thinking that this guy was thick-skinned, and before he even asked him to settle the score, he called him "Uncle Bai, Uncle Bai". He felt a little disgusted in his heart, but at the same time he felt as happy as if he had picked up a treasure.
Although Gu Xiaoxing played some tricks and took the spirit-devouring body, he was able to reach the fourth level of Qi Condensation in half a month after entering the sect. This was unprecedented. After pondering for a moment, Master Bai said slowly:
"After all, it's still a little bit worse."
Gu Xiaoxing was slightly startled, not knowing what Master Bai meant, and then he saw two more pieces of spiritual essence flying in and floating in front of him, and then came the voice of Master Bai.
"Spiritual marrow is rare, and it is an excellent thing for the spiritual body to improve its cultivation. However, everything must be done in moderation, and your practice should be steady and solid. You can only absorb one piece of the three pieces of spiritual marrow every month. Wait until your cultivation is complete.
Only after it is stable can the next piece be absorbed.”
Gu Xiaoxing remembers them one by one.
Later, Master Bai passed down two more techniques, one was a body technique named "Fang Cun Bu", and the other was an offensive technique named "Yingling Finger".
"That's it, that's it. Maybe it's a bit reluctant to get a ranking, but it's enough to practice in the outer sect competition."
Listening to Master Bai's words, Gu Xiaoxing was stunned.
What kind of outer door competition?
Did I say I wanted to participate?
Seemingly sensing Gu Xiaoxing's thoughts, Master Bai frowned and said, "Why, you don't want to participate in the outer sect competition?"
Gu Xiaoxing asked weakly: "Is this outer sect competition dangerous?"
"Didn't you just say that you have to go up the mountain of swords and go down to the frying pan? Besides, we, as cultivators, should strive for the Tao. If we encounter any danger, we will be timid. How can we seek immortality?" Bai Zhenren said angrily.
He glared at Gu Xiaoxing and wanted to continue preaching, but when he saw the fear in the other person's eyes instead of decreasing, he changed his mind and coughed lightly, "But the outer sect competition is not a battlefield, so it is not dangerous."
Gu Xiaoxing breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not dangerous, he had just recovered from the battle in the Black Wood Forest, so he agreed that as long as his cultivation reached the standard by then, he would participate in the outer sect competition.
"Alright, Chang Qing, let's send him down the mountain. He just returned to the sect, so you should take the opportunity to get acquainted with him." Master Bai waved his hand impatiently.
"yes!"
The young man left the main hall with Gu Xiaoxing, and suddenly bowed and said: "I can't thank you enough for my kindness. Junior Brother Gu and Junior Sister Du's life-saving kindness will be remembered by Chen Changqing in his heart. In the future, he will have something to say and do everything he can."
.”
Gu Xiaoxing was startled when he heard this. Originally he was still thinking about the competition, but he didn't expect that the other party would suddenly be so formal. He quickly helped him up, and then the two of them walked down the mountain while exchanging pleasantries and gradually became familiar with each other. In the meantime, Gu Xiaoxing
With the help of saving his life, Xiaoxing asked some obscure questions.
In the Soul-Eating Sect, the Spirit Control Technique is the basis for establishing the sect. The Spirit-Eating Body is introduced into the sect to practice. Because the Spirit-Eating Body practices very quickly in the early stage, it has become the backbone of the sect. It only takes two years for the Soul-Eating Sect to establish its sect.
After a hundred years, it has been able to compete with those sects in the small wasteland that have been passed down for thousands of years.
But just over ten years ago, the Soul-Eating Sect suddenly discovered that the Soul Control Technique was leaked. No reason was found, and the situation even got worse. After a thorough investigation, a force called the Soul-Eating Sect was discovered. This force
The force does the same thing as the Soul-Eating Sect, secretly attracting the Soul-Eating Body, and continues to grow, but it happens to be extremely mysterious.
In response to this, the Soul-Eating Sect naturally could not allow it to grow. In anger, it also launched a mass stranglehold on it, but the effect was minimal. The home of the Soul-Eating Sect could not be found, so that it could not get rid of the roots. It was helpless.
Under the circumstances, the leader of the Soul-Eating Sect cast a secret trap and waited for the opportunity to uproot it.
It's just that the Soul Devouring Sect is also very cunning. Over the years, several hidden objects have been pulled out one after another. Chen Changqing is one of the hidden objects. It is not difficult to tell from his words. He seems to have discovered something that led to his own death.
Exposed, as for what exactly was discovered, it was a sect secret and he couldn't say.
