However, the experienced Gu Qingshan quickly put away his expression, regained his composure, stood up slowly, and said: "Let's just let this matter go. It's useless for us to make wild guesses."
Since Gu Qingshan, the owner of the valley, had made such a conclusion, the elders looked at each other and said nothing more.
After a pause, Gu Qingshan looked at Gu Zhikun and said: "Just now, I have accepted Du Xuan as my disciple of Demon Valley in front of Mr. Long. Zhikun, since you used to be Du Ziwei's master in the Du Mansion, now
Du Ziwei has written to ask for help again, so you can be Du Xuan's master again. Although you stopped accepting apprentices ten years ago, with such a genius, I believe you will not refuse."
These words made all the elders startled. They didn't expect that Gu Qingshan would ask Gu Zhikun, the great elder of Demon Valley, to be Du Xuan's master! It really gave the Du family a lot of face.
In other words, it gave Wumen enough face.
Gu Zhikun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "I am lucky to have such a good disciple. Forget it! This Du Xuan can be considered my last disciple."
Gu Qingshan nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest. Zhikun, Du Xuan is outside the palace at this time, I will leave him to you."
"yes."
"good."
All the elders stood up and bowed their hands in response.
Everyone went home, while Gu Zhikun went to the gate of the Demon Palace alone.
Gu Zhikun was quite curious about Du Xuan, a young boy. He was a first-class magician at the age of fifteen, had learned Escape, and carried a five-color sandalwood stick.
Gee, there are a lot of strange things happening to this young man.
At this time, Du Xuan was leaning against the Demon Palace, looking at the dark front, wondering what he was thinking.
Although Gu Zhikun's steps were not deliberately slow, as a great magician for decades, it was not easy for ordinary people to spot him within a hundred steps.
However, when he was still a hundred steps away from Du Xuan, Du Xuan suddenly turned back and looked at Gu Zhikun who was walking towards him.
Gu Zhikun was shocked that this young man's senses were so sensitive!
Du Xuan was also a little surprised. Because the person who came was not the old man in black robe just now, so who was he?
However, out of courtesy, when Gu Zhikun walked up to Du Xuan, the latter still bowed and saluted: "I have met my senior."
Gu Zhikun nodded slightly, hummed softly, and asked, "Are you Du Xuan?"
"yes."
Du Xuan still bowed and responded.
Gu Zhikun looked at the gray-faced young man in front of him and said, "Follow me."
After saying that, he took a step forward, turned around and walked towards the palace.
Now that he has committed himself to the Demon Valley, Du Xuan naturally has no choice but to hurry up and follow closely behind.
Entering the palace, you will first see an open area. At this time, there are some lights scattered around. Not far from the open area, there is a three-story high platform. On the high platform, there is a huge and majestic gate.
Above the gate, the words "Devil Palace" can still be vaguely seen. Even in this dim light, the powerful two words make people awe.
Gu Zhikun in front did not go up to the high platform, but walked to the left, which was the path leading to the backyard of the Demon Palace.
After crossing this path, the two of them came to the back door of the Demon Palace. Going further, there were unique small courtyards, which were the residences and training places of the Demon Valley Master and the elders. Each small courtyard
The courtyards are about 100 feet apart, scattered in dense forests, and perfectly integrated with the canyon.
Just after leaving the Demon Palace, Gu Zhikun suddenly wanted to see how powerful this so-called wizard was.
Then, an iron fan suddenly appeared in his hand. No movement was seen from Gu Zhikun. The iron fan appeared with a glow, and Gu Zhikun's whole body seemed to be erratic.
Although his steps were still the same as before, his speed was obviously much faster. Du Xuan from behind looked at it and was very surprised. Could this be some kind of magic?
Du Xuan was not allowed to think too much, because Gu Zhikun had already walked a long way along the forest path. Du Xuan had no choice but to speed up his pace and try his best to catch up.
Gu Zhikun in front felt a little disappointed when he saw that Du Xuan was lagging far behind. However, he soon discovered that Du Xuan had already caught up.
As a result, Gu Zhikun accelerated slightly again. Du Xuan did not dare to neglect and also accelerated his pace, almost running closely behind Gu Zhikun.
In this way, the two of them moved forward and backward, and their speed became faster and faster. As the speed increased, Gu Zhikun was gradually surprised. An ordinary fifteen-year-old boy would definitely not be able to keep up with his pace at this time. Even a fifteen-year-old boy
It is also difficult for martial arts practitioners to keep up.
Gu Zhikun, who was a bit competitive, had already reached the door of his small courtyard, but he took another route and kept shuttling through the forest. However, Du Xuan was always following closely behind him.
By the end, Du Xuan was completely running away.
Although Gu Zhikun is old, he still has a bit of a naughty heart. Seeing that Du Xuan was always following him, he immediately speeded up again and shuttled through the forest path almost like a gust of wind.
This time, Du Xuan really couldn't keep up.
After a while, Gu Zhikun was convinced that Du Xuan had fallen, so he stopped and looked back with some pride, waiting for Du Xuan.
Clinker, not long after it stopped, I heard rustling in the forest.
Gu Zhikun frowned, and saw that Du Xuan flew out of the forest, and then jumped and landed next to Gu Zhikun.
Seeing the old man frowning slightly, Du Xuan hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Senior, this disciple is stupid and really can't keep up with the pace of senior, so he took a trick and walked directly through the forest. Please forgive me, senior."
Gu Zhikun looked at Du Xuan, chuckled, said nothing, then turned around and walked towards his small courtyard.
This time, Gu Zhikun did not use magic to accelerate, but he was extremely satisfied with his apprentice. Du Xuan used to be a martial arts prodigy, so he must have a good physique, but now that he has seen it in person, he is indeed extraordinary.
When I arrived at Gu Zhikun's small courtyard, there was no one else but two disciples serving him.
The small courtyard is not big, and is extremely simple. On the left is the sleeping place for the two disciples, and on the right is the dining room. The room directly in front is the largest, with three rooms in total.
The outermost front hall is the lobby where guests can enjoy tea, and the inner bedroom is a place for rest and sleeping. The innermost is a secret room, which is a place for practice.
The two of them walked into the front hall one after another, and Gu Zhikun sat on the main seat. At this time, a disciple immediately brought the freshly made tea and placed it on the table next to Gu Zhikun.
Then, he placed another cup of tea on the table at the side. Before leaving, he glanced at the unkempt Du Xuan, with a flash of doubt in his eyes.
"Sit down." Gu Zhikun waved his hand and pointed to the seat next to him.
Du Xuan bowed and responded, then carefully sat down next to him.
After a moment of silence, Gu Zhikun couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked directly: "Do you know why you suddenly became a demon cultivator? How come you have this colorful sandalwood stick?"
