This room is not very big, about thirty or forty square meters in size.
The furnishings in the room are also very simple. There are only a pair of stone tables and chairs and a stone bed. There is a sword hanging on the wall behind the stone bed. The sword does not look very gorgeous and the style is very simple. I only see weird people.
Sitting on the stone couch, with legs crossed and eyes closed.
He had never seen the face of a weirdo clearly before. In his heart, he thought that since this weirdo eats human flesh, he must be a bad person and look very scary.
Now Gu Jing knew that he was wrong. He could see the strange man's face clearly through the light. The strange man had white hair, very white, very white. His face was like a crown jade, a very thin face, and his eyes were very bright.
And there is no indifference just now, replaced by a peaceful gaze.
His chin has a chest-length white beard, and he wears a gray cloth gown with a black belt tied around his waist. His clothes and hair and beard are floating in the wind, and now he looks somewhat immortal.
Gu Jing was immediately shocked by his grace. He had no idea that the evil person in his heart would look like this. He didn't know what to do.
At this time, the weird voice rang out: "Boy, don't just stand there stupidly. Go sit on that stone chair for a while."
The weirdo's voice now seemed very calm and friendly, without any of the coldness it had just now.
Gu Jing was stunned for a while. He was not a very reserved person in the first place. He was just a little surprised. Then he walked to the chair and sat down, and then said, "Senior, do it!"
"Haha!" the weirdo laughed a few times and said, "Boy, I was just joking with you. My old man has been secluded in the mountains alone for too long. When he got bored, he just teased you. Do I really want to eat you?
?I haven't eaten in a long time."
After Gu Jing heard what the weirdo said, her face was no less surprised than when she heard that he was about to be eaten.
"Senior, you...are you really just joking with us? You..."
He was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Hahaha... Nonsense, my old man has never eaten meat. He has stopped eating in the past few decades. Of course I am just joking with you!" the weirdo said with a laugh.
"Senior, you scared us to death!"
Gu Jing said while exhaling and touching her chest with her hand, with an expression of surprise and joy on her face.
The weirdo looked at his expression and laughed again, and said: "Don't mind, kid, my old man is too lonely in the mountains alone, so I made a joke with you."
"It doesn't matter, senior." Gu Jing said immediately, but what he was thinking at this time was: "Who can still laugh happily after being scared to death by a weird old man like you? I have no grievances with you, but today I
I was treated like a monkey by you."
The weirdo looked at Gu Jing and continued: "Boy, you are very good. My old man is very happy today. I haven't talked to someone like this for a long time, and I haven't laughed so happily today. Thank you."
"Senior, don't be like this. As long as you are older, you will stop making such jokes in the future, otherwise I will lose a few years of my life!" Gu Jing said immediately.
"What's your name, kid?"
"This junior's name is Gu Jing. This time I went to Beijing to take the exam. I passed by here to disturb my senior's Qingxiu." After saying this, Gu Jing stood up and bowed to the old man.
"Well, boy, do you mind if I call you Jingji?" the weirdo said.
"No, I don't mind. You can call me whatever you want, senior."
"Boy, please stop calling me senior all the time. I am a Taoist from Tianling Sect, and my name is 'Lingxu Sanren'. You can call me Sanren from now on."
"Okay, senior."
Gu Jing replied respectfully, but saw Lingxu glare at him. He immediately understood and quickly changed his words, "Oh, okay, Sanren." Lingxu nodded with satisfaction.
Then the two of them started chatting. Lingxu hadn't spoken for a long time, so he talked a lot.
Gu Jing then roughly knew something about Lingxu. It turned out that this Lingxu Sanren was the headmaster of the Tianling Sect. Although he was said to be the headmaster, he was actually the only one in the Tianling Sect.
Tianling Sect is an ancient sect. The founder of the sect, "Tian Lingzi", is an ancient and unparalleled great master. He has already attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven. There is only one person in each generation of Tianling Sect, and Lingxu is the sixteenth one.
That's right. Because Lingxu Sanren is obsessed with the enlightenment of heaven, he has never had any disciples.
Lingxu is devoted to the way of heaven, so his cultivation is very advanced. According to him, he has survived the eighth level of heavenly tribulation with his experience. Thirty years ago, he went into seclusion to study the last chapter of the "Sword of Heavenly Spirit": Sword Chaos in Nine Heavens for four days.
He finally achieved great success before. He sensed that he would go through the ninth heavenly tribulation in the next few days. He might be the first person in the sect besides the Patriarch to achieve enlightenment and ascend.
But he suffered from the fact that no one had been introduced. Until today, when he saw Gu Jing and them coming in, he joked with them and wanted to see if he could accept one of them as a disciple. He had no regrets and could wait for the day with peace of mind.
Robbed.
Gu Jing immediately knew that he was going to survive the tribulation. It turns out that there really are gods in this world. Mortals must cultivate if they want to become immortals.
And "Lingxu Sanren" has practiced for more than three hundred years before he survived the previous eight heavenly tribulations. This is also due to his talent and intelligence and his lack of excessive love for the mortal world. He only pursues the way of heaven and finally returns to the world.
The most important reason is that his ancestor "Tian Lingzi" used his sword to enter Taoism and reached the sky with his sword, leaving behind the "Tian Ling Sword Jue".
There are ten levels of Tianling Sword Jue, and "Lingxu Sanren" has already mastered the seventh level "Sword Chaos Nine Heavens". When "Tianlingzi" created the "Tianling Sword Jue", there were only nine levels. Kuno
The number of ten thousand yuan is equal to one, so later when he passed through the ninth level of heavenly tribulation, he lamented that the way of heaven is impermanent and the cycle is endless, so Tianlingzi created an unprecedented and shocking tenth game of "nine times" in ancient times.
"Nine Returns to One, Sword Roars Cangming". Unfortunately, Tian Lingzi only created it based on his own understanding of the way of heaven and his own conjecture. He ascended to the heaven before he could succeed in cultivation.
Lingxu looked at Gu Jing and said, "Jingji, are you willing to become my teacher?"
Although Gu Jing had already guessed that Lingxu might accept him as his disciple, he was still shocked. He lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Thank you so much for your support. I'm just a junior with little talent and little knowledge. I'm a mortal. I still have my parents and family.
If you are attached to the world of mortals, you may not be able to meditate and practice the Tao of Heaven."
Gu Jing has been influenced by Confucianism since he was a child, and regards "cultivating one's life, raising one's surname, harmonizing one's family and governing the country, and bringing peace to the world" as the highest ideal. Although he is very curious about cultivating immortals and the way of heaven, it is not enough to shake his belief. "Look at your talent.
Regardless of whether you are good or not, although you have passed the best time for cultivation now, as long as you practice seriously, you can still achieve something and achieve enlightenment and soar, please think about it?" Lingxu said.
"I've thought about it for Sanren. My ideal is not the way of heaven, but after high school, I have the ability to benefit the common people and make some contributions to the people of the world. I may not be able to... thank you for your kindness!" Gu Jing said.
"Well, it's fate that you and I met. If you come over and I give you something, you understand this opportunity."
"Senior, why are you here? You don't have to be like this. I really have nothing. In the future, you will have to accept a disciple. Leave your things to your disciples..." Gu Jing said sincerely.
"I can sense that my heavenly tribulation is coming within the next few days. I have no chance to accept disciples. Jingjie, you don't have to refuse. If I can survive this heavenly tribulation, I won't be able to bring any of my mortal belongings with me."
Let's go, I don't have any descendants, so just accept it!" Lingxu Sanren said.
"Sanren, please forgive Xiaosheng for speaking frankly. If Sanren cannot survive the catastrophe, can't you still continue to use it?"
"It's useless. If you can't get through it, there are only two ways. One is the military solution: giving up the body, leaving only the soul, and becoming a loose immortal. There is no need for such things in the cultivation of loose immortals. The other way:
Even under the catastrophe, the soul will be scattered!" Lingxu Sanren said, "You'd better accept it!"
After saying that, he took out a baggage from his sleeve, then took off the ancient sword behind him, and walked up to Gu Jingji.
"Jingji, this baggage contains my sect's cultivation secrets 'Tianling Sword Art' and 'Feiyun Palm Technique'. You can take a look at it when you have time."
He took out another medicine bottle from his body, handed it to Gu Jing and said: "Here are a few pills of 'Gathering Spirits' that I refined. It has the effect of washing the tendons and hair marrow. It can also prolong life and strengthen the body. It is good for all kinds of people."
It also has a very good effect on various kinds of injuries..." After saying that, Lingxu Sanren took out another pill from his arms, handed it to Gu Jing and said: "This is the 'Marrow Cleansing Pill', you take it immediately.
Later I will exercise to help you use the medicine."
"Senior, why are you doing this? I'm just a scholar, so I don't deserve this..." Gu Jing said.
"Stop talking nonsense! Time is running out, eat quickly!" Lingxu said, Gu Jing shook her head helplessly, took the "Marrow Cleansing Pill" and ate it.
It didn't take long for him to feel hot all over his body, as if there were millions of ants biting him inside his body. His face was red and wet, his hands were clawing at his body involuntarily, and he fell to the ground.
Seeing him like this, Lingxu thought it was time to use his kung fu to help him, so he yelled, "Boy! Stop scratching and sit down cross-legged!"
Gu Jing could not hear his words at this time, he was already unconscious.
I saw the silhouette of Lingxu Sanren coming to Gu Jingji's side with a "swish" sound, and her hands were tapping on him wildly. Gu Jingji finally calmed down, regained her consciousness, and sat down cross-legged.
He looked at Lingxu Sanren and smiled bitterly: "Sanren, if you don't take action, I will be dead..."
"What do you know, kid? Just now, the power of the medicine was destroying your muscles and meridians and destroying the toxins in your body. Of course you are sad. Don't think about anything now. Relax your whole body. I'm going to do my exercises!"
I saw Lingxu sitting down behind Gu Jingji, and at the same time, his hands were quickly performing various moves in front of his chest. At the same time, his body was glowing with a faint yellow light, and his hands were moving quickly on Gu Jingji's body, and finally he put his palms on top of each other.
Behind Gu Jingji, Gu Jingji's whole body was suddenly hot and cold, her face became more rosy, and her clothes were all wet with sweat.
After an unknown amount of time, Lingxu finally finished his performance. Lingxu stood up and said, "Jingji, you have a good sleep, I'm going to adjust my breathing for a while."
Gu Jing felt weak all over, not even having the strength to raise her hands, but there was an indescribable feeling of comfort all over her body. She looked up at Lingxu Sanren who was sitting on the stone bed and seemed a little tired. He knew that Lingxu must have been exhausted just now.
He has gained a lot of skill. Otherwise, with his skill to survive the eighth level of heavenly calamity, how could he be so exhausted?
So he said: "Thank you Sanren, I can't repay you..."
He wanted to stand up and bow to Lingxu, but he couldn't get up.
"Well, there's no need to do this. You can just sleep for a while." Lingxu stretched out his hand, and Gu Jing immediately lay down. After a while, there was a slight snoring sound. Lingxu was practicing on the stone bed, and his whole body was glowing yellow.
There was a bright light, and white gas was rising from the top of his head. He did not know how long it had been. He had just consumed too much skill for Gu Jing. He originally thought that one or two levels of skill could do it, but he actually consumed five levels.
This was really unexpected.
In fact, he has been practicing in seclusion before, and has not used Qigong to transform other people's bodies. This is an unnatural move. Just imagine that a person's body has grown up, but he has to artificially "shrink" it and reconstruct the bone marrow. The difficulty can be imagined.
And know it.
Just when he was about to get up, there was suddenly a thunderous sound outside, which made him tremble even with his skill. He quickly counted with his fingers, and after a while his face changed. It was hard to tell whether it was shock or surprise.
Happy, and said to himself, "Here he comes, he is finally here, but I didn't expect it to come so soon."
At this time, Gu Jing had also been awakened by the thunder just now. He happened to hear what Lingxu Sanren said, so he asked: "Sanren, what is coming?"
"It was the Heavenly Tribulation that I finally felt his aura. He is gathering now. What he is waiting for is me!" Lingxu said.
"San Ren, is the Heavenly Tribulation very powerful? It's not easy to see how powerful it is!" Gu Jing immediately asked.
"Of course it's awesome! But I've been waiting for a day for a long time. The previous eight times have passed, and I'm just missing the last one. Today I'm going to see how serious the nine-fold heavenly tribulation is that has killed countless people.
Awesome!" After saying that, he snorted coldly, picked up the sword and flew out.
It's no wonder that he is proud and confident. Thinking back then, his ancestor "Tianlingzi" only used the sixth step of "Tianling Sword Technique" "Sword Roaring Commons" to survive the catastrophe, and now he has mastered it.
It’s the seventh round.
Gu Jing thought for a while and then quickly followed him out. He came to the outside of the stone house and wanted to ask Xiao Li to go out with him. Unexpectedly, he didn't find Xiao Li, and Xiao Li was gone. He shouted "Xiao Li" too
There was no reply. He thought Lingxu might know where Xiao Li had gone, so he ran out of the cave quickly.
When he came outside the cave, he found that it should be daytime now, but it was really dark outside now, and all he could see was lightning and thunder in the sky. He found that Lingxu Sanren was flying in the sky now. He was holding an ancient sword in his hand, and his whole body was filled with blood.
Shining with yellow light, all his hair, beards, and clothes are flying back.
In the streaks of lightning, he looked as majestic as a god descending to earth. Lingxu had already noticed him, nodded to him, flew to his side and said: "It's okay if you come out, let's take a closer look later."
.But don’t leave this world of light!” After saying that, he formed a spell with his hands, and a world of light appeared one meter outside Gu Jingji’s body.
"You won't be in danger if you stay in there well." After saying that, he flew into the sky.
"Sanren, be careful!" Gu Jing shouted loudly.
…
In the blink of an eye, the violence of the storm outside was not felt at all. But now Lingxu Sanren's face became very serious, without any of the carelessness at the beginning, and his face became more and more solemn.
Now the energy of the calamity cloud above his head has far exceeded that of the eighth level calamity. And he felt that the calamity was still gathering energy, as if it was endless. Suddenly there was no more lightning and thunder in the sky, and there was no longer wind and rain in the sky.
, the sky and the earth were silent, except that the calamity cloud above Lingxu's head was still moving and shrinking, and finally shrank into a very small cloud, with a radius of only about ten meters.
Lingxu Sanren felt that the disaster was about to come. So he put his hands in front of his chest, quickly performed various complicated tricks, and suddenly shouted, "Now!"
Immediately, streaks of golden light flew out from his hands, blended into the original light shield, and finally formed a new barrier, which finally enveloped Lingxu Sanren inside.
But suddenly the world fell silent. The calamity cloud above Lingxu Sanren's head flashed with white light, and the sky thundered loudly. Suddenly, a white lightning flew out, struck Lingxu directly, and hit Lingxu's knot directly.
On the border.
The barrier suddenly became radiant, and the energy of lightning spread across the barrier, forming strange patterns that competed with the energy of the barrier. Lingxu Sanren squeezed the spell in his hand, and a red light flew out and injected into the barrier.
.Suddenly the barrier glowed brightly, and after a while the lightning finally disappeared.
"Haha, I didn't expect that the Nine Heavenly Tribulation was so weak. This..." Before Lingxu Sanren could finish his words, he saw two points of lightning flying out, accompanied by nine-day thunder, hitting the barrier, but when the lightning approached the barrier
, suddenly merged into one!
There was a "boom", and the light of the barrier was much stronger than before, but it still did not break the barrier, and the lightning finally dissipated.
"Yes, this time it's three times stronger than before!"
The robbery cloud in the sky sent out three more bolts of lightning, which merged into one and hit the barrier on the way.
In this way, Lingxu's barrier persisted until the seventh lightning strike. At this time, the sky was no longer a single gray calamity cloud, but red and blue calamity clouds were added, turning it into three colors: red, green and gray.
Just a few loud "boom boom" sounds were heard, and three lightning bolts of red, green, and white struck down. This time they did not mix. They actually drew beautiful arcs in mid-air and struck Lingxu Sanren respectively.
The boundaries set up before and after.
The barrier is bearing the lightning coming from three different directions. Lingxu Sanren can feel that each of these three lightnings is more than five times the energy of the first lightning. Lingxu's originally relaxed expression now becomes
In a dignified manner, his hands kept changing magic spells, constantly increasing the energy intensity of the barrier. The confrontation between the three lightning bolts in the barrier became more intense, and their light became brighter. Suddenly, several lightning bolts appeared in the originally transparent barrier.
Small cracks that gradually grow larger over time.
