Chapter 61: The Young Man Holds the Gu
"Senior Sister He, it turns out that you are also here. Shen Qingqing was a little surprised when she saw He Shuchan revealing her figure, obviously she didn't perceive He Shuchan's existence before.
"Hmm," He Shuchan nodded in response. She is also an outstanding figure in the contemporary sect, she has long known Xie Lang, and recently heard the news of Xie Lang's death, so she came to worship, but she didn't expect that Yiye would come here today.
"Senior Sister Miao, did you say that to me earlier?" He Shuchan recalled Miao Weaving's previous words, and guessed that the other party meant something else.
"I don't have any other intentions," Mian Weaving sighed softly, "You and Senior Brother Lin both have world-class appearances, if you work together, you will definitely be able to help the sect survive this catastrophe, I just don't want you to be disturbed by personal grievances." ”
He Shuchan did not refute Miao Weaving. Miao Weaving has been robbed by this now, and He Shuchan is unwilling to go against her will again, at least not on the surface.
Yiye came to the depths of the bamboo forest, and saw a young man sitting cross-legged on the ground, as if he was manipulating the spirit insect in front of him.
There are about dozens of spirit insects, the appearance is strange, and a leaf can not distinguish the variety, he is very curious at this time.
Yiye approached, and the young man noticed it and looked up. Seeing Yiye's face clearly, the young man smiled brightly and got up to salute, "Miao Yuan has seen Senior Brother Lin and thanked Senior Brother for saving his life." ”
Yiye is slightly different, the young man in front of him is not sickly, but the smile on his face makes Yiye like a spring breeze, "Do you recognize me?" Yiye asked with a smile. When I remembered that day when I saved him, the boy had been in a coma.
"My sister once described my brother's appearance and told me not to forget it in this life. The young man was polite, and from his performance, Kazuha couldn't tell at all that he was a person who had just lost his cultivation.
"As a fellow disciple, this is what I should do," Yiye stepped forward and gently stroked the young man's shoulder, "What are these?" Yiye squatted down, looked at the insects of different shapes on the ground and asked, but he avoided talking about Miao Yuan's injuries.
"This is Gu," Miao Yuan also squatted on the side of Yiye, seeing that Yiye was quite curious, he explained again, "In short, it is a very special insect, senior brother, you see," I saw Miao Yuan stretch out his hand, and a thousand-legged poisonous insect climbed up to the palm of his hand, curled up on it, and no longer moved.
Yiye was quite surprised when he saw this, this was the first time he had seen the real Gu with his own eyes.
Regarding Gu, Yiye has some understanding, and there are records related to it in many ancient books. Gu art is relatively similar to the general way of cultivation, it is more full of mystery, and the world knows very little about it, I heard that now on the Kyushu continent, the monks who know how to raise Gu and control Gu are almost invisible.
And the reason why there are so few people who cultivate Gu is not because Gu techniques are useless, but mainly because Gu cultivation is too harsh on the conditions of monks.
It is rumored that Gu masters have to find a person who can cultivate Gu art among tens of thousands of people, and if ordinary people want to cultivate Gu art, it is impossible to succeed in their lifetime.
Although the Gu technique is difficult to practice, if it is successful, its usefulness is beyond the reach of ordinary monks.
Ancient history records that in ancient times, there was a Gu master who swallowed a city with the Gu of devouring the sky, controlled a country with the Gu of the son and mother, and used the soul devouring Gu to slash the power of the invisible, making the supreme and the color change.
The records of ancient history may not be true, but it is not difficult to understand the horror of Gu art from it, and such a powerful cultivation path has always been difficult to become the mainstream of Kyushu for various reasons.
"How did you learn this Gu control technique?" After some observation, Yi Ye was quite surprised to find that this young man named Miao Yuan actually knew how to control Gu skills, and even had a lot of attainments. According to Shen Qingqing, Miao Yuan was indeed a rare cultivation genius, but he had never heard of this person being able to control Gu techniques.
Miao Yuan's expression darkened a little when he heard this, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "It was passed on to me by my father when I was in my hometown. Miao Yuan recalled the past and was a little depressed, "When I was five years old, my father died of poison. Since then, my sister has not allowed me to practice Gu arts. ”
After listening to Miao Yuan's story, Yiye also felt sorry for it, and Yiye also felt the pain of losing his loved ones.
"Why doesn't your sister let you practice Gu art again," Yiye and Miao Yuan sat cross-legged under the tree, and different spirit insects all surrounded them, it seemed that the aura on Miao Yuan's body had a special attraction to them.
"I don't know," Miao Yuan shook his head, as if reminiscing, from his movements, it was not difficult to see that he was still just a child. "My sister said that Gu art is a crooked way of evil demons, it will harm others and herself, if I want to practice Gu art, she will never recognize me as a younger brother again. At this point, Miao Yuan had tears in his eyes, obviously full of grievances in his heart.
Regarding the matter of his sister and brother, Yiye can't say much. In fact, in the eyes of the world, Gu art is indeed unacceptable, and few people are willing to recognize it. And the reason why there is such a situation is nothing more than because the vast majority of people can't control Gu art, and Gu art is too terrifying.
The unknown is terrifying, so it is inevitable to be suppressed.
Of course, excluding the factor of appearance, the heinous killings caused by Gu art in the past are also an important reason why Gu art is spurned by the world.
As for why Miao Zhi didn't let Miao Yuan cultivate the Gu technique, Yiye didn't know. According to Miao Yuan, there are many contradictions, and Yiye always feels that this matter is a little weird.
"Then why are you playing Gu again, don't you listen to your sister?" Yiye smiled and touched Miao Yuan's head, trying to relieve his depressed mood.
"I haven't cultivated Gu since I practiced," Miao Yuan bowed his head and said in a low voice, "It's just that I don't know what to do now..."
Seeing this, Yiye wanted to go forward and pick it up, but he saw a group of black spirit insects crawling out of the ground, quickly and orderly raising the saber and scabbard, and soon merged the two into one, and leaned back on the main trunk of the tree.
Yiye was stunned when he saw this, thoughtful.
"Miao Yuan, do you want to cultivate? Or, if you can cultivate the Gu Technique, are you still willing to cultivate the Fa?" Yiye stood up and came to Miao Yuan's side, feeling Miao Yuan's weak body, Yiye wanted to know what was supporting him, so that such a person who had lost his cultivation could still retain a bright smile.
"Of course I want to practice," Miao Yuan's answer was originally very decisive, but he quickly lowered his voice again, "It would be better if I could practice Gu Technique." Thinking of the scene when her sister was heartbroken because she secretly practiced Gu arts, Miao Yuan felt that her thoughts were a little selfish again. Obviously, Miao Yuan cherishes his relationship with his sister very much.
"If your sister allows you to practice Gu Technique, do you still care that you can't practice?" Yiye could see that although Miao Yuan was very calm on the surface, the loss of cultivation would also be a huge blow to him, but if he could cultivate Gu Technique, the fact of losing his cultivation might no longer be so painful to him.
Miao Yuan's eyes seemed to light up when he heard this, but he quickly became more lost, "Cultivation seems to be very simple to me, but only when I am immersed in Gu art, I can feel the fun." ”
Obviously, Miao Yuan's words had already given a leaf of answer, between Gu art and cultivation, Miao Yuan was more willing to cultivate Gu art.
"If I can get Senior Sister Miao Zhi to allow you to practice Gu Technique, are you willing to practice with me?" Yiye had a heart of love for talent at this moment, and he didn't want Miao Yuan to follow him, he just wanted to form a cause and effect with this genius boy who was a Gu Dao, so that he could become his future help.
"I..." Miao Yuan hesitated, he didn't immediately give a reply to Yiye. He really wanted to practice Gu arts, and he also wanted to be able to give a leaf in return, but in order to take into account Miao Weaving's feelings, he hesitated.
"You just have to answer whether I want to or not!" Ichiha was solemn and upright, staring at the young man in front of him. Although I don't know why Miao Weaving doesn't allow Miao Yuan to practice Gu arts, Yiye doesn't want to see the fall of a genius boy.
After a fierce ideological struggle, Miao Yuan finally nodded, if Miao Zhi agreed to practice Gu by himself, then he would not have any reason to refuse.
Yiye was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately stepped forward to give Miao Yuan a hug. "You wait for me here first, I'll go find Senior Sister Miao Weaving, she will definitely agree to your practice of Gu art. ”
When Miao Yuan responded softly, Yiye had already gotten up and exited the bamboo forest here, as if he was looking for Miao Weaving to tell him about it.
Yiye quickly left Miao Yuan's sight, stopped on the bank of a river, and turned to look, but Miao Weaving followed behind.
"Senior Sister Miao. "Kazuha was not surprised when he saw Miao Ori. When talking to Miao Yuan before, Yiye was already aware of Miao Weaving's appearance, and I believe Miao Weaving also knew that Yiye had a perception of her.
"Senior Brother Lin. Miao Weaving is still in a terminally ill state, and it is obvious that it is impossible for her to get out of the accident in a short time.
Yiye came to Miao Weaving approaching, stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and saw that Miao Weaving had the intention of dodging, and he also took it back halfway.
Yiye's move is not frivolous, but involuntarily. Miao Weaving's gesture I saw pity, which made Yiye feel pity and regret.
"Presumably, Senior Sister Miao also knew what Senior Brother Miao Yuan and I said before. Yiye came back to his senses and walked slowly along the riverbank side by side with Miao Weaving, his eyes looking straight ahead, unwilling to look at him.
"Hmm," Miao Weaving's voice was a little hoarse, and she wanted to respond in a voice, but she couldn't for a while.
"I don't know something," Yiye said, "Why doesn't Senior Sister Miao allow Senior Brother Miao Yuan to practice Gu Arts, I don't think you are also such a pedantic person in the world." ”
Although he knew that Yiye would ask this question, Miao Zhi was still silent, and it took a while before he responded, "Actually, from the moment I learned that Ah Di couldn't cultivate, I was already unwilling to stop him from cultivating Gu Arts," Miao Zhi did not answer Yiye's question head-on, but took out a secret book from the Sumeru ring. "This is left by my father, and I asked for it from my brother in the past, and I hope that my brother will hand it over to him today. ”
Yiye took it, and saw a big "Gu" word written on it.
Yiye didn't open this Gu character cheatbook, kept it properly, and prepared to hand it over to Miao Yuan later.
Looking at Miao Weaving's expression, Yiye knew that she must have something unexplained, but Yiye never asked, presumably if the time was ripe, she would tell herself.
"Dare to ask Senior Brother Miao Yuan if he has already worshiped under which elder?" Although Yiye wants to help Miao Yuan cultivate, if he already has a famous teacher, he needs to follow the instructions of his master.
"The last time I went out of the sect to practice, I wanted to lead my brother to worship into the sect, but I encountered this catastrophe halfway, and my brother's apprenticeship was delayed. Miao Weaving's face was calm, but his choked tone let Yiye know that when he mentioned this matter, Miao Weaving's heart was turbulent again.
"It turns out that Senior Brother Miao Yuan is not a new disciple of this year," Yiye also understood when he heard this.
In addition to recruiting disciples every five years, the Tu Eucalyptus Immortal Sect can also be recommended to the sect by elders or outstanding disciples in the sect at ordinary times, but in this case, the qualification requirements for the recommended objects are more demanding.
"In this case, I have the courage to ask Senior Brother Miao to practice with him. Yiye expressed his intention to Miao Weaving, "Although I don't know Gu art, I believe that I can help Senior Brother Miao." ”
Yiye's attitude is very decisive, and the reason why he wants to win over Miao Yuan is partly out of selfish desires, but it has to be said that Yiye's behavior is also helping Miao Yuan.
Now that Miao Yuan's foundation has been destroyed, in a sense, he has been reduced to a waste, although the Immortal Sect is good, there are not necessarily any elders who are willing to accept him as a disciple again. According to the regulations, if no elder is willing to accept a disciple who is introduced, then this person will not be able to continue to stay in the sect, and he will not even be able to have the qualifications as an ordinary introductory disciple.
Thinking about it carefully, if Miao Yuan, who is now completely lost, returns to the chaotic Tianwu Kingdom, it will undoubtedly be difficult for him to spend the rest of his life safely.
Miao Weaving, who has also been in the sect for nearly a year with Yiye, naturally knows the key points, and understands that Yiye's move is undoubtedly to protect Miao Yuan, "Miao Weaving thanked Senior Brother Lin on behalf of Brother. Miao Zhi bowed down to thank her, she didn't question whether Yiye could do it, after all, the identity of the disciple of the Supreme Elder was still very important in the Immortal Sect.
"Senior Sister Miao doesn't have to be polite," Yiye helped Miao Weaving's weak body, unwilling to let this hard-working woman bear any more burdens, "I also have my own selfishness, I am not as noble as Senior Sister Miao imagined," Although Yiye said with a smile, his words were not just for Miao Weaving.
Yiye decided that Miao Yuan would become a powerful help for him on the road to revenge, although this matter seemed a little unbelievable, but Yiye had to plan more for the future.
Miao Weaving's face became strange when he heard this, and he didn't speak immediately, but just nodded in response. Even remembering He Shuchan's evaluation of Yiye in front of him in the past, Miao Zhi even doubted his cognition of Yiye. But thinking that it was Yiye who saved his sister and brother from danger, Miao Weaving was also relieved.
"Since Senior Sister Miao has agreed to Yiye's request, then I won't delay here. Yiye saw that Miao Weaving was worried, so he didn't want to bother more.
"Senior Sister Miao cherishes it. Yiye couldn't say too many words of comfort, and after saying goodbye to Miao Weaving, he turned back to look for Miao Yuan, and was a little eager to tell him what Miao Weaving allowed.
Looking at Yiye who left with a little joy, Miao Ori no longer had the slightest doubt about him, and even blamed herself for having a trace of such thoughts.
After Yiye left, Miao Yuan had been expecting Yiye to bring the results he wanted.
At this time, seeing Yiye returning, Miao Yuan led up with a face full of hope.
"Senior Brother Lin!" Miao Yuan was only twenty-three years old, and his height was not yet the shoulders of Yiye, so he came to the front, and Yiye wrapped his hand around him.
"What do you see this?" Yiye took out the Gu character cheat given by Miao Yuan from his bosom and presented it in front of Miao Yuan's eyes.
"My Gu Book!" Although Miao Yuan was overjoyed when he saw the Gu Book, he didn't snatch it from Yiye's hand, only his face was full of anticipation, and his eyes were blazing.
"This is what your sister entrusted me to pass on to you, keep it. Yiye sat down with Miao Yuan Yishu and handed him the Gu book.
Miao Yuan took the Gu book, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, not only because he had regained the Gu technique he had been absent for a long time, but also because he realized his sister's decision from it.
"Does my sister agree with me to practice Gu Technique?" Miao Yuan stared at Yiye tightly with a pair of eyes, wanting to confirm his conjecture.
"Hmm," Kazuha nodded with a smile.
"Your sister is also a person who has a hard life, and you have stayed by her side for a while, so that you can be forgiving, and don't let her break her heart again. "Now that Yiye has established a slight bond with Miao Yuan, he doesn't necessarily need to let him follow him all the time. On the other hand, looking at the current situation, Miao Yuan should accompany Miao Weaving more.
"Okay, Senior Brother Lin, Miao Yuan listens to you. Miao Yuan was at an innocent age, and his smile seemed to make Yiye a little less troubled.
After talking with Miao Yuan for more than half an hour, Yiye found that Miao Yuan was really a very simple person, with almost no scheming at all, and the joys, sorrows, and joys in his heart were all revealed.
"After Senior Sister Miao's mood is stable, you should come to me as soon as possible, otherwise the Immortal Sect will not allow outsiders to stay in the sect for a long time. When leaving, Yiye told Miao Yuan, hoping to help him solve the identity matter as soon as possible, so as to relieve his worries.
He got along with Miao Yuan very happily, but Yiye knew that the situation in the Immortal Sect was tense at the moment, and he still had to improve his combat power.
It was still early when Yiye left here, so Yiye was not in a hurry to return to his residence, but wanted to go to the mysterious Yuyin Valley to find the wood fairy You Zhiqiu and ask for advice on the cultivation of wood spells.
The Yuyin Valley where You Zhiqiu was located was located in the corner of the sect, and Yiye Yu walked for half an hour before finally arriving.
Stepping onto a winding stone path through a secluded jungle, Kazuha came to a stop outside the valley.
The location here is remote, and few disciples will come here, only listening to the chirping of spirit insects and birds, and the faint sound of flowing water in the valley, without the slightest noise, full of tranquility.
Yiye had heard that the wood fairy You Zhiqiu had a withdrawn personality and almost did not interact with others, although he was in the position of the elder of the Immortal Sect, he generally ignored the affairs of the sect on weekdays.
After coming to Tu Eucalyptus Immortal Sect a hundred years ago, You Zhiqiu almost lived in seclusion in this valley of aftersound, and only when major changes occurred, would he show his figure in front of the world.
