Chapter Seventeen: Old Age

Gu Yue and Gu Sheng are twins, only one month younger than Gu Xiu. Gu Sheng is the only grandson in the big house that Gu Huai attaches great importance to. For this reason, he specially exempted Gu Sheng's family from buying the golden beads that Deng Fengxian needed to hand over every year, and put the burden of the longevity pill on their family.

However, although this matter is closely related to them, to be honest, these juniors really don’t have the right to argue with each other.

In addition to the cousins ​​of the third uncle's family, Gu Min, who married into Xing Er's cousin, Gu Yan was also a bit cold and arrogant. Gu Yue and Gu Sheng, who were the same age as Gu Xiu, were polite and humble.

Therefore, although the three Gu Xiu sisters were very angry at Gu Huai and Deng Fengxian's biased towards the third uncle's family, they did not show any displeasure when they met Gu Yan and his sister on the way.

"Sister Ba, you finally came out of seclusion. I had been worried before.

I went to see you two days ago, but I didn’t know what your situation was, so I didn’t dare to disturb you. I thought that if there was no news, I would go and ask the second uncle to see you. I didn’t expect that you have already come out of seclusion. By the way, have you successfully induced your breath to the meridian?"

As soon as the two sides met, Gu Yue hurriedly walked up to Gu Xiu after seeing them, and took Gu Xiu's hand and spoke with concern.

Because Gu Xiu and Gu Yue are similar in age and are both girls, their own sister Gu Xuan and Gu Shu are busy practicing, so she and Gu Yue used to be together.

Before they were ten years old, they had no qualifications yet. They and Gu Sheng, who were the same age, could be said to be idle. Gu Xiu was busy inquiring about some things about the God Realm and found some books to read. However, Gu Yue was very interested in cooking and liked to tinker with delicious food in the kitchen.

Every time I make a new meal, I will give it to Gu Xiu to taste it. After eating, I will tell you one by one. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each dish?

In Gu Xiu's opinion, although Gu Yue's cooking skills are not as good as those of the chefs at home, as she gets older and practices more, the food she makes becomes more delicious. With her energy to study cooking skills, she will probably surpass ordinary chefs in a few years.

"Seventh sister, ninth sister, fourth brother." Gu Xiu greeted the three of them first, and Gu Yan nodded, but Gu Sheng saluted Gu Xuan, Gu Shu and Gu Xiu.

"I'm ashamed to say that I've been scrambling in the house for half a year before I can barely lead to the breath and enter the meridians. Ninth sister and fourth brother, you should have succeeded long ago, right?"

Gu Xiu asked, she was not pure modesty, but looking at the expressions of Gu Yue and Gu Sheng, and then listening to what Gu Yue asked him just now, thinking about what she said.

Sure enough, when he heard her, Gu Yue smiled and said, "What are the words of Bajie? I just went more than four months earlier than Bajie. However, the fourth brother, he has good qualifications and does not require a transformation pill to induce breath and enter the meridian. It took only ten days to successfully induce breath and enter the meridian.

What’s even more amazing is that two days ago, my fourth brother had already entered the early stage of condensed breath. Oh, I was so envious of the fourth brother that he would not need to use the transformation pill in his practice in the future.”

"Sister Jiu, what's there to say about this? I've just started practicing now, and it's not known yet. Besides, qualifications are not the only condition that determines future cultivation. There are also insight, mood, opportunity, etc., which are all very important."

Gu Sheng interrupted, not obeying Gu Yue's praise.

"Yes, yes..." Gu Yue smiled at Gu Xiu and said, "Feither sister, look at him, for fear that he will have a future, so we will ask him to fight Qiufeng..."

"Sister Jiu, what do I mean?" Gu Sheng said anxiously.

"Okay, I understand what you mean." Gu Yue smiled and pulled Gu Xiu's hand and said, "Eighth Sister, what the fourth brother said makes sense. Cultivation depends not only on qualifications, but other things like the state of mind and understanding are also very important. Therefore, even if you and me are not qualified, they may not be unable to achieve the great way in the future, so you must not belittle yourself."

Gu Xiu was stunned and then smiled and said, "My Nine Sister is worried. Over the years, I have read many classics, some of which can be recorded by the predecessors and recall their own experiences into books.

Those who have the best of the predecessors have poor qualifications but can also cultivate the great way. After reading the experiences of the predecessors, I naturally understand that although the path of cultivation is extremely difficult, many times, there is no way out for the mountains and rivers, and there is another village in the dark. Although qualifications are important, they are not an inevitable factor for success."

Gu Yue was stunned and smiled and said, "Eighth Sister is right, that's what I think."

He turned to look at Gu Sheng again and said, "Fourth brother, you can't relax. Your starting point is much higher than ours. If you fall behind me and my eighth sister in the future, will you be embarrassed?"

"Okay, ninth sister, don't tease my fourth brother anymore, you know he is an honest person."

Gu Xiu smiled and said, "Seventh Sister, Ninth Sister, Fourth Brother, I and the eldest sister and the third sister are going to see my mother, so we left first."

Gu Yue hurriedly said, "Then you go quickly, I delayed you. My aunt suffered a great loss this time, but I have to make up for it. Sister Eighth sister asked the aunt for her on our behalf, and we will go to see her again in two days."

"My fourth brother is an honest and kind person, but because of him, our family is passive everywhere, I always feel a little uncomfortable."

After separating from Gu Yue and his brother, Gu Xuan sighed.

"We rarely meet after being uncomfortable. Now we have tested our qualifications and successfully induced our breath and meridians. We have to be busy practicing in the future, and there are not many opportunities to meet."

Gu Xiu said that she understood Gu Xuan’s feelings, but she felt that these were not a big deal. Now their most important task is to earn gold beads and buy elixirs for cultivation.

The three sisters were speechless for a moment. After a while, they arrived at the Chengxiaoyuan where Gu Sheng and Guang Haiying lived.

Chunliu, a mortal maid next to Guang Haiying, showed surprise when she saw the three sisters, "Miss Eight, have you come out of seclusion? The eldest lady was still worried just now. I am going to clean the yard and go and have a look. Now, the eldest lady must be very happy to see the three ladies."

Chunliu said, then rushed to Guang Haiying's door in a hurry and called softly: "Madam?"

Seeing that she was so careful, Gu Xiu and the others guessed that Guang Haiying should be practicing, so they didn't say anything, waiting to listen to the movement inside.

"What's wrong?"

After a moment, Guang Haiying's response came from inside, but at first he heard this sound, Gu Xiu was startled. In her impression, Guang Haiying's voice was always soft and pleasant, but although this voice was also soft, it was much older, and it was a little older than the voice of his grandmother Deng Fengying.

Gu Xuan was also shocked. Gu Shu sighed: "After a miscarriage, your body will be greatly damaged. If you see her later, don't show any abnormalities."

Gu Xiu had already tried her best to imagine Guang Haiying's image different from her previous ones in her mind, but when she saw Guang Haiying, she was still surprised.

I saw that Guang Haiying's smooth black hair was gone, but instead she was white and dry withered hair, wrinkles appeared on the corners of her eyes and forehead, and even her originally clear and translucent eyes were dyed dark yellow.
