Chapter 14 Children of the Gu Family
Gu Yan nodded and went back to his room, and saw that the elegant and simple hut only had a stone bed and two straw mats, and other book friends looked at it normally. Thinking that this is where his father grew up, I feel unnaturally melancholy in my heart.
Fortunately, she usually takes care of herself and is used to cooking. So he went to the yard and found a broom, and cleaned the house himself. Then he went to the steward's office in his own room, received firewood and rice grain, and then went to Qin Wuyang's house and asked, "Madam, can you eat?" ”
Qin Wuyang said: "I don't eat fireworks anymore, you don't have to worry about me." Then there was silence in the room, presumably cultivating. Gu Yan did his best and went to cook the meal by himself. After she was successful in refining qi, she usually only ate one meal a day, and she didn't pay much attention to meat. After eating, he went to meditate on his own straw mat.
Tianmu Mountain is indeed a spiritual vein, much stronger than the places where the spiritual energy is thin that she cultivates on weekdays, she runs the true qi all over her body, and then she feels a strong aura surrounding, she tries to calm her mind, quiet and clear, and don't think about anything. Gradually enter the realm of nothingness.
Then I felt that there was nothing around me, and then my consciousness became clearer and clearer. The oval-shaped air mass that appeared for no reason in the sea of her consciousness was still standing still, motionless. But inside it seemed to be wrapped in countless gases, viscous like liquid, constantly tumbling up and down, like a pot of boiling oil. She tried to use her divine sense to test it, but she felt that it was very deep, and as soon as her divine mind entered, it disappeared like a mud cow into the sea.
Gu Yan continued to try to settle down, and just when she reflected the sky, the deep and thick male voice appeared in her mind again, as if she was roaring angrily, and as if she was asking questions.
"Heaven and earth are not formed, how can they be examined? Who is the best? How is the wheel of night and day divided? The qi of yin and yang, what is the origin and what is the branch? ”
One question after another, it shook her eardrums. About an hour later, Gu Yan reluctantly woke up from meditation. This made her unable to settle down at all, so how could she cultivate?
This must have happened to her when she blew herself up. She originally wanted to meet the elders of the Gu family and ask them about these problems. But now that Qin Wuyang is also in the Gu family, if her doubts are leaked out, and she realizes that she knows her secret, what should she do?
Gu Yan, who has lived alone for many years, already knows how to protect herself carefully, even if this is where her father grew up, she will not easily expose her secrets. She stopped cultivating and fell asleep on the stone couch. There will always be time to figure out these questions slowly in the future.
The next day, she got up early and went to meet Qin Wuyang's house first. Qin Wuyang said: "I often enter meditation for three or five days, so I don't have to be so formal. Then let her go to Mingtang to listen to the sermon.
Gu Yan went out, only to find that he didn't know where Mingtang was. I was about to find someone to ask, when a young man came not far away, saw Gu Yan was outside the door, and said with a smile: "I am here to lead you to Mingtang." ”
Gu Yan looked up and saw that it was the young man she saw yesterday, who led her way. He often has a gentle smile on his face, a slight smile, revealing snow-white teeth, which is very good-looking. Gu Yan also smiled at him, "Yesterday was in a hurry, I don't know what to call this venerable elder?" ”
The young man waved his hand: "My name is Gu Mingze, and I am the same generation as you, don't call me that." Today, the Sixth Patriarch preached, and let me lead you to Mingtang. In the future, we will cultivate together, let alone be so polite. ”
Gu Yan asked: "I don't know ...... the Sixth Ancestor" Gu Mingze smiled: "It is the great ancestor of the family." Gu Yan suddenly followed him.
Mingtang was not far from where Gu Yan lived, and it was only then that she had a general understanding of the distribution of the Gu family's small town. Probably each foundation monk has his own residence and shili range, and is responsible for teaching the lessons of the several houses under his jurisdiction. The southeast side is in charge of Gu Mingchen.
Mingtang is a very large and bright hall, with a large area inside, but there are only more than ten wooden couches, and people are sitting on them. Gu Mingze said with a smile: "When the seventeenth sister is here, she will add another wooden couch." ”
Gu Yan was stunned and said, "Seventeenth sister? ”
Gu Mingze said: "The six ancestors, the ninth ancestor, the tenth ancestor, and the thirteenth ancestor are all taught under the six ancestors, and the younger generations are all the same, you are the youngest, you can only rank seventeenth, isn't it the seventeenth sister?" ”
Gu Yan rolled his eyes, there are really a lot of rules in the big family. Fortunately, not all people of the same age have to be ranked in order, otherwise they wouldn't be ranked to more than a hundred? She shuddered at the thought of being called that.
As the two walked in, everyone's eyes turned to them. Some are curious, some are disdainful, and many more are indifferent. Gu Yan keenly sensed that there was a gaze that was very hostile. She looked at her as a very young girl, with picturesque eyebrows, probably only a year or two older than herself. Her eyebrows were slightly slanted back, making her otherwise perfect face look a little out of place.
Gu Mingze glanced at them with his gaze, and the people in the hall fell silent. He pointed to Gu Yan beside him and said, "This is the seventeenth sister, named Gu Yan." It is the bloodline left by the seventh uncle of Jianchen outside, and the patriarch has an order, she is recorded in my Gu family tree, and she will cultivate with us in the future. You've seen it. ”
Gu Mingze seemed to be a leader among the crowd, and everyone listened to him very much, and came over to meet one by one. For a while, Gu Yan couldn't remember the names of those many people. There were only two people who made a deep impression on her. One is the girl who used to be hostile to her, called Gu Ruoyu, and the other is a young man who looks very weak, his face is a little pale, as if he is still sick, and the aura on his body has abnormal fluctuations, as if he has been seriously injured and still has not healed. He saw that Gu Yan was very kind, and said: "I was taught by the seventh uncle back then, and I haven't forgotten it yet. I'm Gu Moyan. ”
Gu Yan saw his weak and delicate appearance, and heard that it was his father's old acquaintance, so he had a good impression and smiled at him. Then the crowd took their seats. Gu Mingze walked to the front, under a high platform, and then knocked on a small bell under the stage.
After the nine bells rang, everyone was solemn and silent. Then the Sixth Ancestor Gu Tingchen walked out of the back of the stage and sat down on the high platform. Seeing Gu Yan also sitting in the audience, he smiled at her slightly, and then began to preach.
It was the first time Gu Yan had heard a foundation building monk preach, and the content of the lecture was also very simple, all of which were aimed at some difficulties of the disciples who had not been in the Qi refining period for a long time. Gu Yan corroborated the problems of his own cultivation and felt that he had benefited a lot.
