Chapter Seventy-One: The Realm of Words and Spirits
At this time, Zhan Yan, who was far away in the Ling Demon Cave, received a message from Elder Zang Qianzi, his eyes flashed slightly, and he accelerated his speed, and the sword light continued to cross, accompanied by one demon beast corpse after another. It's all a sword kill.
At this time, he had almost cleaned up the demon beasts in this cave.
I thought it would be a small task, and I would be able to go back in a day at most, but I didn't expect to be delayed for so long.
Zhan Yan took the task that he had to take every month, and when he looked at the task bulletin board, it seemed that only this one was more time-consuming.
It's a small town, but lately, I don't know why, a person disappears every day, at first people who go into the mountains, and then people who go out of the city will disappear inexplicably, occasionally leaving behind rags of clothes or blood stains from struggle. Then he turned to Xunzong for help. So it became an ordinary task.
As soon as Zhan Yan went, it was indeed a demon beast, but he didn't expect it to be a very derivative Ling demon, and he unknowingly killed thousands of them. However, it's nothing to get rid of the demon beasts that take the initiative to hurt people. Just a little bit of trouble.
Ling Demon is a demon beast regardless of gender, as long as it is of the same race, it can reproduce, not to mention the short growth cycle, a pair can produce a litter a month, not to mention more than a dozen, but this kind of demon beast can't open the spiritual sense, and can only be a demon beast forever.
At this time, Zhan Yan had been killing for four days without sleep, a sword passed, the tip of the sword was inserted into the throat of the last demon beast, summoned the sword back, took out a rag from his sleeve, wiped the blood on the sword, and then burned the corpse of this hole with a fire trick.
Turning around and stepping on the sword, he flew towards the sect like a meteor......
Gu Xiaoxiao has been taken back by Zang Qianzi for a day, and on the first day, she met with twenty-five senior brothers and sisters of all sizes, and the meeting gifts she got were almost piled up. It's all what she can use at the moment, and it's quite characteristic of Tibetan Yanfeng. What are the several talismans, all kinds of strange materials to be used to draw talismans, and what medicinal materials to restore spiritual consciousness...... There is also a strange book: "How to Become a Generation Master"
After the meeting, Zang Qianzi threw her into a study, and stipulated that she couldn't go out without reading all the books, which made Gu Xiaoxiao depressed. Fortunately, she is also an adult, and she also likes to read, so she half-pushes and half-immerses herself in the sea of books.
During this period, all the senior brothers and sisters took turns to bring her food, and if there were any questions, she asked directly, and she also asked the sixteenth senior brother to send a bag of spirit stones to Mu Chun.
Gu Xiaoxiao absorbed it quickly, mainly because she felt that the words and spirits were very interesting, communicating with heaven and earth, the world is in my hands, and my will is the will of the world...... Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly didn't want to admit that this was the world she had written, and she felt inexplicably ingenious, and she felt like she was saving the world with a second disease.
But this feeling is really amazing, Gu Xiaoxiao is holding the most basic spirit pen, stained with the blood of the spirit beast, waving it in the air, feeling that something invisible is writing with her, and every stroke can follow the next stroke, without a sense of pause, it is very smooth.
Gu Xiaoxiao's wrist was raised, and the pen fell, and the originally dark red spirit beast blood suddenly turned golden red, faintly flowing along the lines of the painting, and then disappeared in a flash, and it rained outside Gu Xiaoxiao's window, not much, but the scope covered the entire Tibetan Peak.
Gu Xiaoxiao raised her eyes to look out the window and wrinkled her little face, "Ah, such a light rain...... What kind of rainstorm spell, it's obviously a spring rain curse......"
Zang Qianzi felt the fluctuation of the spiritual power of the spell in an instant, and then saw that Zang Yanfeng, which had not rained all year round, suddenly began to rain, and understood something, and a figure flashed into the library where Gu Xiaoxiao was.
I happened to hear Gu Xiaoxiao's muttering again, crying and laughing, this little girl, it is good to be able to summon the rain with the primary pen and the lowest spirit beast blood, and dare to dislike Xiao? This is a third-level charm.
It can be seen from this that Gu Xiaoxiao's talent, Zang Qianzi's thoughts drifted away at once, Xiaoxiao is still young, only nine years old, and she has only been in contact with the art of charms for a week......
But this talent that was gradually revealed, even he was surprised, I was afraid that it was only after more than 20 years of cultivation, just like this rain, even if it was him, he had to use the blood of a third-level spirit beast to summon it with a primary pen.
Although it was a sparse and light rain, the coverage was too large. If you use better materials in the future and practice for a longer time, I'm afraid it will be ...... The demon was born, and I don't know if it's good or bad.
Such a seedling, fortunately, was accepted by him, if it fell into one of those sects, it would be a big disaster.
Even if it wasn't for Gu Xiaoxiao's talent, in order to protect Jingyun's disciples, he would have fought for his life.
Zang Qianzi pretended that nothing big had happened, shook the hem of his robe, and Shi Shiran walked in, "Little apprentice, what progress has you made recently?" and then looked at the book Gu Xiaoxiao was reading, "Miscellaneous Records of Runes"
Immediately blew his beard and glared, "Let you read the books carefully, you still focus on these books that have no actual eyes." ”
The author of this book is written by a Fu Master of other small sects who cultivates as ordinary, and he is the same generation as Zang Qianzi, all of his whims, which is simply unreasonable, but it is very interesting to write, but it is a pity that he died early. I don't know which disciple read it and put it in the library cabinet.
Gu Xiaoxiao smiled wryly, but after reading a page and thinking it was interesting, she continued to read it, but she didn't expect that the ancestor came just as she was about to put it away, "No...... Looking at the fun, didn't you just read it, the book hasn't been opened yet......" Gu Xiaoxiao smiled weakly again. It's quite a feeling of being caught by the teacher when I read extracurricular books in class.
"Take it, confiscate it, read other books, have you encountered any problems in your cultivation recently?" Zang Qianzi raised his hand and took the book, put it in his sleeve, and pretended to ask questions to find out about Gu Xiaoxiao's current situation.
In fact, this miscellaneous book was put into it by Jing Yun, who is also the little disciple of Zang Qianzi, who was young and ignorant and read this book, and thought it was quite interesting, and put it down after trying a few times without success, and the only time he succeeded in practice was when he drew a large defensive array, but unfortunately, he died before he could tell others that the methods mentioned in this book would work on large spells.
Also, who would experiment with large-scale spells? If you don't control it well, you may be gone, and you will all use one or two levels of harmless spells to do experiments, and no one will waste their spiritual sense on the practice of such unfounded miscellaneous books, let alone an unknown person who died early.
"I ...... Yes!" Gu Xiaoxiao originally wanted to say no, but remembering the book "Words and Spells" she read yesterday, there was actually one thing she still didn't understand, and she read it back and forth several times.
"Master, do you say that there are really people in the world who can cultivate to the realm where words come true? Wouldn't the world be chaotic?" Gu Xiaoxiao felt that this was inexplicably very powerful, but could he really cultivate there? The world is a variable, if words are true, how terrifying it is.
For example, the law of nature is the cycle of life and death, and if someone can avoid reincarnation all at once, they just say a word, and so ...... Is the world order still in place?
But Gu Xiaoxiao may have forgotten that this is not a materialistic world in the first place, this world ...... Nothing is impossible!
Zang Qianzi's eyes suddenly became distant, and the disciple was more intelligent than he imagined. He touched Gu Xiaoxiao's head, "Although I haven't seen it, there must be one." ”
Then he withdrew his hand, put it behind his back, and said solemnly, "The art of words and spirits is not so easy, and its cost is also very large, for example, if you want to save a person, if you use a talisman, there are many treasures of heaven and earth, and there are many difficulties, then words and spirits can be said in one sentence, but have you considered what the price is?"
Gu Xiaoxiao didn't understand, but she knew that the equivalent exchange and energy were conserved. She shook her head.
"It's the caster's own lifespan...... If you want that person to live as long as you want, you have to exchange your life span. Do you understand?" Zang Qianzi's eyes suddenly became fierce, he didn't want Gu Xiaoxiao to go to the evil demon path, and he might not allow it at all!
He told Gu Xiaoxiao that he had never seen anyone who had reached the realm of words and spirits, which was fake. He has seen it, it is his uncle and ancestor, the genius of Tianzhong, the double cultivation of the art of words and swordsmanship, they are all a generation of grandmasters, and the skills of words and spirits that have been handed down now are improved by his uncle and ancestor.
But then I didn't know how to disappear. He said he was on a trip, and he never came back. No one had ever seen him, and the last person to see him was said to have gone to the end of the continent, but no one knew where the end of the continent was.
"However, what if the Spirit Speaker said that he had an infinite lifespan?" Gu Xiaoxiao jumped to another aspect.
"Hmm, of course...... I won't tell you, be good, don't think about it, read well, come back early, your brother's reply is still with me. Kura Chiko smiled, his eyes playful, but there was darkness in it.
If Gu Xiaoxiao was really so selfish, he was afraid that he would strangle this possibility in the cradle. But he watched Gu Xiaoxiao grow up. So......
Gu Xiaoxiao felt a little cold inexplicably, shook her hands, and said, "Master, how can you be like this, give me the letter that Brother Yan gave me, I will read the book carefully! I've read half of the bookshelf!"
Gu Xiaoxiao jumped to pull the envelope that Qianzi had taken high, and still swayed in her hand.
Gu Xiaoxiao jumped for a while, feeling ...... It's so naïve, anyway, sooner or later the ancestor will give it to him, stopped his movements, slowly returned to his desk, picked up the new book and read it.
Zang Qianzi raised his eyebrows, he calmed down so quickly, tsk, it's not like Jingyun at all, if Jingyun is it, he has to twist him to get it.
"Okay, I won't tease you, take it, I'll go, read the book carefully, and ask if you don't understand. Zang Qianzi found a step for himself, touched his nose, put the letter on Gu Xiaoxiao's desk, and disappeared in an instant.
Gu Xiaoxiao took the letter and said loudly, "Thank you, Master~", which scared Zang Qianzi into stumbling.
Interesting.
When Zang Qianzi left completely, Gu Xiaoxiao opened the letter and read it, Zhan Yan first apologized for not being able to come back in the past few days, and also said the reason, as well as some gadgets with him, all of which were in the small storage bag in the envelope.
Gu Xiaoxiao was very interesting to watch.
There are also things that Zang Qianzi didn't say just now, even if Zang Qianzi didn't say it, Gu Xiaoxiao would know it.
If the spirit speaker wants an endless lifespan, he must exchange it, and since he can't use his own, it must be someone else's, and it's hard to say about this other person.
Maybe it's someone close to you, but it's not all living beings in the world.
