Chapter 15: Receiving the Spiritual Weapon
Gu Tingchen spoke for about two hours and said: "The road of cultivation has a long future, and other book friends read it normally:." All disciples must remember the words perseverance and forbearance, and must be diligent and not impatient, and they will eventually succeed. That's it for today's lesson, so let's come back next month. With that, he stood up.
More than a dozen people present stood up and bowed respectfully, "Congratulations to the patriarch." ”
Gu Tingchen nodded and said, "Gu Yan, you come with me." He waved to her.
Gu Yan was originally saluting with everyone, but when she saw Gu Tingchen beckoning to her, she saw that Gu Tingchen had stepped down from the high platform, and at the corner of the stairs, there was a small door, and she hurriedly followed her. But I didn't notice the strange eyes of the people behind me.
Behind the small door, through a curved cloister, it turned out to be a large ashram. There are wooden couches and straw mats on top. Gu Tingchen let Gu Yan sit on the mat in front of him, and then said, "You have been cultivating alone, if you have any difficulties in practicing, you might as well ask me for advice." ”
Gu Yan said all the questions he was cultivating in, and Gu Tingchen also answered them one by one, very detailed. Let Gu Yan benefit a lot. Then, Gu Tingchen stretched out his hand, took out a leather bag from his waist and handed it over, and said: "All the children of my Gu family, when they are successful in cultivation, they must be given talisman treasures by their elders, your relatives are no longer there, this thing was used by me back then, so I will give it to you." ”
Gu Yan stretched out his hand to take it and found that it was a small magic treasure bag, which probably contained space for a square circle. There is another thing, which is a cone-shaped thing carved from bluestone, with a faint blue light on it, knowing that it is a spiritual weapon, and I am very happy in my heart. This was the first time she had possessed her own spiritual weapon. In addition to being surprised, he quickly stood up and thanked Gu Tingchen.
Gu Tingchen waved his hand, "This thing is called Qingyun Cone, and it is a spiritual weapon that I used during the Qi Refining Period back then. Your father also liked this thing back then, but I was afraid that he would be young and vigorous, so I didn't give it to him, and other book friends read it normally:. Although you are still young, your temperament is much calmer than your father's. Remember not to show this object lightly, and not to fight with others easily. Go ahead. ”
Gu Tingchen's eyes flashed with love, and his words seemed to reveal some nostalgia and sadness for her father. This is the first time that Gu Yan has felt care for an elder after she separated from her mother. Gu Yan's eyes were a little moist, and she almost wanted to tell everything she had happened to before she came to Yunyang.
But in the end, she held back, and she bowed three times respectfully to Gu Tingchen before getting up and going out.
At this time, the people outside had basically gone, and only Gu Mingze was still sorting out some things. Gu Yan couldn't help but laugh when he saw his busy appearance. said: "Brother still clean up?" She knew that Gu Mingze had a gentle temper, and besides, the two of them were a little acquaintance, so she spoke a little casually.
Gu Mingze laughed when he heard this: "Why be so restrained, I'll be the sixth, call me the sixth brother." ”
"Oh?" Gu Yan looked at his demeanor and thought that he was the rank leader, but he didn't expect that he was only sixth. Gu Mingze said with a smile: "The brothers above me, although they also have spiritual roots and can be included in the prelude, but their qualifications are too weak, and they can only be worldly disciples, so they can't come to listen to the sermon." There is also a fourth brother with the best qualifications, and he went overseas to prepare for the Tianmu Mountain Trial Conference a few years later. I don't know when I'll be back. ”
Gu Yan had heard Ziyin say that the trial meeting of the three major sects of Tianmu Mountain seemed to be not only flocking to the cultivators, but even the leaders of the immortal cultivation family were also yearning. At this time, Gu Mingze said: "The Sixth Ancestor loves us young generations the most. The seventeenth sister must have benefited a lot from his teachings. ”
Gu Yan said with a smile: "The Sixth Ancestor gave me a spiritual weapon, and the little sister is very grateful, I am afraid that I will disappoint the expectations of the Sixth Ancestor." As he spoke, he took out the magic bag and let him watch it.
Gu Mingze was a little surprised when he saw it: "It's actually Qingyun Cone!" Gu Yan looked at his expression, and knew that this spiritual weapon had some origins, and sure enough, Gu Mingze said: "This Qingyun Cone was given to him by an ancestor in the clan for self-defense when the Sixth Ancestor was in the Qi refining period. When the Sixth Ancestor was in the trial meeting that year, he also used this spiritual weapon to defeat many opponents, but unfortunately Zuihou was not able to hold out to Zuihou. Although he has now successfully built the foundation, this spiritual weapon is not needed, but he still cherishes it, the ninth brother and the sixteenth sister have begged him several times, and he is reluctant to give it, I didn't expect to give it to you today,:. ”
Saying that, he sighed, and said in a somewhat low voice: "The Sixth Ancestor is trapped in the early stage of foundation building, and there has been no progress in the past few decades, I'm afraid, Shouyuan will be in the next few decades." We all said that he was going to take this artifact to the earth. ”
Gu Yan touched the magic treasure bag, his expression was a little stunned. She seemed to feel the loving heart of an old man. I instinctively felt that it was a little inappropriate for me to accept such a valuable thing, but now it seems hypocritical to go back. She carefully put away the magic treasure bag and said: "Little sister is the first time to come, many things still don't understand, the sixth brother has time, it's better to go back together, or just ask for advice, how about it?" ”
The two went back together, and Gu Yan also asked a lot of things in the family. In Gu Mingze's description, she probably understood the current situation of the Gu family.
The Gu family is also a relatively large immortal cultivation family in today's Tianmu Mountain. There are more than 100 Qi refining stage disciples in the clan. Gu Yan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this number. Gu Mingze said with a smile: "This is nothing, it is common to talk about those sects, even those big clans outside, and it is common for them to have hundreds of qi refining disciples." The smallest Zhushan sect in Tianmu Mountain, there are nearly 800 Qi refining disciples. We just have too few foundation building monks, only four, so we always have to be a little less confident when dealing with people on weekdays. ”
Gu Yan remembered that on the day he first came, the people of the whole clan gathered, and he only saw three monks who had built the foundation, so he asked Gu Mingze. Gu Mingze said: "There is a genius uncle in our clan, he only took fifty years to cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building, and he can be regarded as the most talented person in the clan for thousands of years. However, he traveled a few days ago, saying that he was looking for an opportunity to break through the realm. I don't know when I'll be back. That uncle not only cultivated profoundly, but he also cultivated a good sword, and when he fought with others, he was very powerful. ”
Gu Yan was very surprised, even if he was a disciple of a famous sect, it was not so easy to build a foundation. At this rate, isn't he very likely to become the only monk in his family for thousands of years? She asked with interest, "What's the name of this uncle?" ”
Gu Mingze replied: "His name is Gu Xichao!" Gu Yan silently recited the name twice, and then Gu Mingze also finished cleaning up the hall, and the two walked outside together.
