Volume 2: The Shura Realm VII
On the throne directly above the palace, Gu Lanxun sat cross-legged in a dark red nightgown, red from his face to his neck and clothes. On the steps below, the coquettish clothes that 'Tong Yan' had worn before had been changed, and he was wearing a heroic robe from the White Sect on weekdays. Faced with such a face, Gu Lan Xun really didn't know how to talk to it.
"Can't you turn back into your original form?"
'Tong Yan' tilted his head to look at her: "I have no body, or am I becoming your mother?"
"Don't don't, forget it," Gu Lanxun hurriedly shook his hand, why did this demon spirit seem to have insufficient IQ: "Is it only you here? What about your master? Uh, I mean...... Your true master, the ancestors who created you. ”
The demon spirit said slowly in Tong Yan's magnetic voice: "There is no remnant soul of the Abyss Venerable here, his remnant soul is in another demon law. ”
The coquettish tone and the voice of the senior brother made Gu Lanxun's heart itch like a cat scratching: "The other one, aren't you a complete demon law?"
"I am a complete demon law, but there are two parts of Longpan and Fengzhu, which are exactly the same. One is in the Phoenix Heavenly Pavilion, and the other is in the Yinglongyuan Pavilion. ”
Ying Longyuan Pavilion Gu Lanxun muttered in his heart, the Dragon Clan Demon Law Pavilion Dragon Clan actually has a dragon pan phoenix. She had only heard that the Abyss Venerable had a brutal temperament and that the demon methods she created were all very domineering, but she didn't know where this Abyss Venerable was sacred. Looking at the ignorant appearance of this demon spirit, Gu Lanxun guessed that it was not very old, and after the demon spirit was formed, it would only be like a three-year-old child of the demon clan after it was formed for a hundred years, and this guy would be nine years old at most.
"Little one, do you know who the Abyss Venerable is?"
'Tong Yan''s eyes lit up: "I know, he is a descendant of the Dragon Clan and the Feng Clan, he fused into the realm at the age of ten, became a saint at the age of eighteen, and created me at the age of twenty." ”
No wonder there is no such person in the phoenix genealogy, Gu Lanxun is clear, it seems that although he inherited the phoenix bloodline, he eventually joined the dragon clan. After thinking about it, the girl glanced at the senior brother's smiling face: "Ahem, cough, what did you say you wanted to talk to me about at the beginning?"
The demon spirit looked at Gu Lanxun solemnly: "Master, you can cultivate me as a natal demon method." ”
"Huh?" Gu Lanxun was stunned: "Oh, I will naturally cultivate you, but I am not in a hurry." ”
'Tong Yan' climbed the stairs, pressed Gu Lanxun's hand, and got very close: "No, you have cultivated a hundred birds and a phoenix, and you should also cultivate me." ”
"Puff puff ......" The distance close to his face directly made Gu Lanxun freeze in place, looking at that flawless face, the former opened his mouth and stammered: "You...... Shall we keep our distance?"
Long Panfeng frowned, but did not move: "You treat me as a natal demon method to cultivate." ”
Seeing that this little demon spirit who didn't know the height of the sky was getting closer and closer, Gu Lanxun lifted a breath and lightly drilled past the demon spirit's side, and hurriedly went down the steps to look up at it: "Why must it be the natal demon method?"
"You were the first person to beat me all over the ground looking for teeth," the demon spirit smiled without hesitation, "Venerable Qianyuan said that only those who can completely control me can cultivate me as a natal demon method." ”
Do you have teeth?" Gu Lanxun tilted his head helplessly: "I also want to cultivate you, but you have also seen that now I have no idea where to start with a hundred birds and a phoenix, how can I have more energy to cultivate the second natal demon method?"
The demon spirit frowned as if thinking of a solution, Gu Lanxun continued: "I am going to be bold now, and I have to practice a hundred birds and a phoenix, and I really have no time for anything else." In this way, I promise you that in three years I will start cultivating you, how about it?"
As soon as these words came out, 'Tong Yan''s tightly knit brows suddenly expanded, and he raised his head and stared at Gu Lanxun: "Spirited?"
"Well, I'm a phoenix, but my foundation is very poor. Ten years old, he is not dead. ”
The demon spirit suddenly smiled, and jumped directly down the steps to Gu Lanxun: "Master, let's make a deal." ”
Afraid that this guy would come up again, Gu Lanxun hurriedly took two steps back: "What?"
"I'll help you get strong, and you cultivate me. ”
"How do you help me get strong?"
Long Pan Fengzhu raised his head proudly: "I am divided into nine realms, and the first layer is the blood spirit, that is, to water the demon spirit with my own blood to solidify the foundation." ”
Gu Lanxun's pupils shrank: "Bloodline training, why is there such a strange demon method." ”
"When Venerable Qianyuan was young, the dragon spirit and the phoenix spirit fought in the body, and in order to stabilize the soul, he bled to nourish it. ”
Gu Lanxun's heart moved, somehow, she was quite distressed about such a suffering childhood, like a sister, and like the little sister of the dragon clan, Long Liulan, but she never felt how many shadows her childhood had.
"Well, how sure is this kind of method?"
The demon spirit thought for a while: "I don't know, but after the spirit, the second layer is the flesh soul, which is ......."
Hearing this name, Gu Lanxun's back was cold: "Wait a minute, the flesh soul?"
"Yes, the Abyss Venerable was also hindered when condensing his soul, so he cut his flesh and condensed his soul. ”
The girl was silent, without the horror of the other seniors when they heard about this method, Kaoru suddenly thought of a problem in herself that was difficult to ignore, the soul when condensing the soul must be of equal quality, so that the great consummation can be achieved when the soul is combined. Now, with the heavy demonic power in Gu Lanxun's body, the phoenix soul after the success of the formation must be extraordinarily condensed, but condensing an equally condensed phoenix soul is afraid that it will have to go through what it has experienced in the past six years.
"What is the speed of the flesh soul, and it may form a phoenix soul like the Great Perfection?"
The demon spirit knew what she was thinking, and only said, "I don't know, but it must be faster than your own cultivation." ”
Hearing this, Gu Lanxun took a deep breath, thinking back to the past six years, he couldn't help but feel helpless, how could his cultivation path always endure such hardships more than others, and finally he could condense his soul and cut his flesh and bleed.
"Okay, after tonight, you will be my second natal demon method. ”
The next day's sun was delayed, black clouds overwhelmed the border, and half of the sky was dark, but the gloomy weather did not affect the mood of the children in the market under the Huangyu cliff. Today is the Demon Children's Day, a festival for children under the age of twelve, boys take the money and leave their parents behind, running around, scattering joy, and the female doll rides on the father's shoulder, holding the mother's hand, shouting for a while to buy a bracelet, and for a while to eat sugar skewers.
There was a thin girl sitting in the tea shed, the person was wearing a dark gray robe, the hat covered her face with low pressure, and a pair of pale and weak hands fiddled with a small piece of black jade, as if she was disturbed by the voices of the children around her, and looked up slightly at the street: "It's the Demon Festival, I'm sorry, my sister can't go back this year......
If you say how a ten-year-old girl should be in an ordinary family, and look at the market under Huangyu, it is clear that it is the age when the father spoils and protects the mother, and the pearl in the palm of the hand is coquettish and willful. At the age of ten, when she is about to become an adult, the female doll should be concerned about her appearance, her clothes and jewelry begin to be put into the boudoir, and she also begins to estimate whether it will hurt her skin during her cultivation. However, at the same age, on the Huangyu cultivation ground, the girl in red sat on the fixed plate, her left hand sleeve tied high on her knee, and a hideous knife cut through her entire arm. Blood flowed down its wrists, and before it was about to drip down, it was suddenly licked by its fingertips, and the blood beads disappeared in an instant.
Gu Lanxun's breathing trembled slightly, and he couldn't tell whether it was because of the pain in his arm or because of the pain of the knot. What she is cultivating now is the first layer of Longpan Fengzhui - blood spirit, in fact, it stands to reason that there is no need to draw such a deep wound, but first, the phoenix is born with an amazing ability to heal itself, if it is a small injury, it will scab over in half an hour; In this case, Gu Lan Xun simply did everything to the end, and did not care about the scarring at all.
Pain and happiness are probably Gu Lanxun's current state, obviously the cold sweat on her forehead is slipping down, but when she sees the scene of the surging and condensing demonic power in her body, she almost wants to sing, after so long, she finally feels the precursor of the spirit.
In a high state of cultivation, everything around him no longer exists, Gu Lanxun can only see a pitch-black background, in the skeleton glowing with red light, a dark red and almost black demonic power is rolling, with a trace of red light surging from all around to the center, the demonic power is sometimes like a born baby, sometimes like a mountain sparrow, although it does not yet have the appearance of a phoenix, but it will definitely not be too long.
Time was still flowing slowly, and with it the blood of her left arm, Gu Lanxun's focused cultivation state was a little shaken, not because she was not attentive, but because of the excessive blood loss in her body, her mind began to be a little unconscious. His left arm was already so cold that he couldn't feel anything, and if Kaoru had seen his face by the river at this time, he would have found that his face was purple and his lips were frighteningly blue. Persistence! Must persevere! Gu Lanxun's breathing was a little short, forcibly stabilizing her mind, the demonic power in her body had obviously taken the shape of a phoenix, and it was absolutely impossible for her to give up at this time.
Sensing that the master was not in a good state at the moment, Long Pan Fengzhu suddenly appeared in his mind: "Take a break, you have lost too much blood." ”
"Xiao Zhu, don't disturb me. ”
Once again, the refined bloodline was injected into the half-formed phoenix, and the small mass moved slightly, and it was about to take shape, but by a fraction of a second, in Kaoru's nervous gaze, the phoenix once again scattered its shape. The unwilling emotion spread in the bottom of his heart, this stubbornness is not good or bad, but it has been pushing Gu Lanxun forward, his eyes are closed, his right hand blindly touches his left arm, and then he gritted his teeth to avoid the pain, and his five fingers are buckled in the wound. The sharp pain that erupted from the cold and numb wound again made Kaoru tremble, but before he had time to think about it, the demonic power wrapped the torn blood and poured it back into his lower abdomen.
Long Pan Fengzhuo's voice was a little anxious: "The Venerable of the Abyss has never bled like this, stop, continue tomorrow." ”
“......”
Without the spirit to answer its words, Gu Lanxun only felt that his consciousness was withdrawing, and he could barely hold on with perseverance and perseverance. However, the next moment, it was particularly abrupt, and a blood force that came from nowhere flowed into his body, Gu Lanxun's chaotic thoughts were sober for a moment, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he only relied on his instinctive consciousness to inject all this energy into his lower abdomen. In an instant, the demonic power in the lower abdomen suddenly vibrate, and the originally condensed energy suddenly thinned and was huge, turning into a red phoenix flipped and danced, and then, the phoenix shrank extremely quickly and finally became a small totem. Gu Lanxun stared closely at the changes in her body, and when she saw the crimson and black color, her heart thumped, and she was formed! And beyond her expectations, she actually jumped directly to the third order of the spirit!
The faintness of excessive blood loss was dissipated by excitement, Gu Lanxun suddenly opened his eyes and laughed happily, and his bright smile moved him. It's been six years! She has finally taken the first step of cultivation! Gu Lanxun hurriedly stood up, wanting to immediately try the strength of the third order of the spirit, but no matter how determined she was, she still couldn't withstand the clamor of her body. As soon as the girl got up, a whirlwind of darkness in front of her eyes fell backwards, and the expected fall did not come, but a burst of warmth wrapped it.
When his vision gradually cleared, Gu Lanxun looked back with difficulty, and his mother's cold and angry face was in front of him: "Don't you want to live for cultivation?"
In the mother's room, the broken tables and chairs under the mother-daughter fight half a month ago had not yet been tidied up, the smell of medicine and faint blood filled the air, and Gu Lanxun's nose was sensitive and even smelled the breath of demonic energy. Mother loves to be neat, and today's situation makes Kaoru's heart sink.
Gu Xiu was half-leaning on a recliner, with a nightgown draped over his body, and his voice couldn't suppress his anger: "Do you know what you're doing?
Gu Lanxun obediently appeared in front of his mother, and the wound on his left hand had been bandaged: "Zuo is just in a coma for a while, I know that I am wrong, and I don't dare anymore." ”
"Comatose? To put it easily, what should you do if you are alone in a coma in the cultivation ground, and you lose too much blood? What should you do if the demon law attacks you? What if a traitor comes to attack you?" Gu Yanxiu was afraid when he thought about it: "I told you that my mother can't be with you forever, you have to take care of yourself, but this kind of mistake occurs in a few days, how can you reassure me?"
"No, I'm measured," Gu Lanxun felt sour: "Don't always say such things, I will take care of myself, but my mother also has to take care of herself." ”
Gu Yanxiu's face did not soften, his eyes were filled with a layer of demonic energy, and he stared at his daughter gloomily: "Then let's talk about the matter of the spirit." ”
Hearing this, Gu Lanxun was suddenly startled, and he had been immersed in the joy of forming a spirit that made him forget an important thing, and sure enough, his mother opened her mouth and hit the nail on the head: "The demonic power in your body was able to form a spirit five years ago, why did it take so long?"
The brain was running rapidly, and the excuse for fooling had been thought of a few years ago, but in the face of his mother's angry eyes, Gu Lanxun didn't dare to look directly at him: "I saw that the book said that the more solid the spirit, the more demonic power will be stored, and it will be more convenient to cultivate in the future." So ......"
"Nonsense!" Gu Yanshu interrupted mercilessly, "It's a waste of time to spend five years to get married. The method of cultivation lies in the level, what is the relationship between whether it is condensed or not? Condensing the soul is the foundation in foundation building, and even if you cultivate the soul of the immortal realm, you still can't defeat a Qi Transformation Realm!"
"I knew I was wrong. Gu Lanxun bit her lip, she naturally understood this truth, although the soul condensation would store more demonic power, but in the real battle, the cultivator could continue to absorb the power of heaven and earth to maintain the state, and the soul condenser could not afford to consume even if he had more reserve demon power, such an ability was simply a chicken rib. But what could she say, confess the eldest sister, and then let the two fight again?
I was going to face my mother's next storm, but Koken suddenly quieted down, and Kaoru lowered her head and didn't dare to look up at her mother's eyes, thinking about what to do. After a while, a name came out of his mother's mouth without emotion: "Gu Lanhan doesn't know?"
Gu Lanxun tensed, and suddenly looked up at her mother: "It has nothing to do with the eldest sister." ”
Seeing her daughter's reaction, Gu Yanxiu's eyes became more and more cold: "She didn't tell you the cause and effect?"
"No!" Gu Lanxun shook his head: "It's just my own idea, I didn't tell the eldest sister." ”
"Oh, looks like you already know what you're doing. ”
This statement made Kaoru more and more panicked: "Mother, don't always be so prejudiced against Sister A. ”
"Prejudice?" Gu Yanxiu's chest floated, and he was very angry: "But she taught you not to be bold?"
Gu Lanxun is completely out of line, no matter how suspicious the facts, as long as he has a relationship with the eldest sister, his uncle, mother, and aunt will only blindly blame Gu Lanhan, without any mercy.
"Mother, sister, she won't harm me. ”
Gu Yanxiu shook his head and snorted, as if he had heard something ridiculous, and then lowered his head in remorse: "Blame me, it's my fault." ”
"Mother's ......"
"I thought that although she hated me, she would never implicate you. Bai Xinxin also said that it is harmless to let you and Han be together," Gu Yanxiu sighed: "That's it, there is no hurry to cultivate, and my mother does not ask you to become a strong person, I just hope that you are safe." If Gu Lanhan just wants to destroy your cultivation foundation, then these five years are enough, and I will personally take you to cultivate in the future. ”
The eldest sister wants to destroy her cultivation foundation? Gu Lan Xun's eyes moved, the guidance of the cultivation field in the past six years, the cultivation day and night, the eldest sister's supervision and reprimand are still vivid, and now her mother told her that the eldest sister has something else to do?
"Mother," Gu Lanxun lowered her head and said in a low voice: "With all due respect to my daughter, it was Sister A who took care of me since I was a child, it was Sister A who taught me to cultivate, it was Sister A who took me to study, and all my cultivation in this body was passed on from Sister A." If she really wants to take revenge on you against me, then I am afraid that my demonic power has already been destroyed, and it is impossible to have such a condensed phoenix. It's only been five years, and the reason for it has not yet been determined, and a person as smart as Sister Ah disdains such meaningless things. ”
For the first time in ten years, his daughter resisted so bluntly, Gu Yanxiu was surprised for a moment, and then was replaced by sadness: "You are blaming your mother for neglecting you all these years. ”
Gu Lanxun shook his head: "Although my mother is not by my side, I know that my mother has always missed me. I'm just telling the truth. ”
"Okay, since you trust Gu Lanhan, then she can explain to you why she doesn't allow you to get married?"
Kaoru frowned slightly, but did not answer. Seeing this, Gu Yanxiu forced a breath of relief, trying to be as pleasant as possible, his daughter knows best, if she says more, she is afraid that it will backfire: "Xiao Xun, my mother is not forcing you to break off with your eldest sister, she just wants you to see the reality clearly, this matter is always a bad mother, and my mother will try her best to make up for it in the future." That's it, I won't mention it again, and you don't have to dwell on it anymore. ”
Gu Lanxun opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything other than "I know". Gu Yanxiu slowly got up and rubbed Kaoru's hair: "You don't need to cultivate anymore today, go rest and recuperate, if the girl's family leaves a scar, it won't look good." ”
The steps of leaving his mother's dormitory became heavier and heavier, Gu Lanxun pursed his lips and looked uneasy, it was one thing to swear to his mother just now, 'Sister will not harm me', but what he thought in his heart was another. Even if I don't want to admit it, I have to admit it, I don't know when the distance between Gu Lanxun and the eldest sister has become farther and farther away. Thinking of the eldest sister's last conversation before leaving and that mysterious friend, Han's secrets are really getting more and more, Gu Lanxun has a hunch that one day one of Sister's secrets will blow up this peaceful life.
