Chapter 183: Try
Gu Zhongxian should be very old, his beard and hair are all gray, unusually dense, there is no crown on his head, and his white hair is combed into three round buns side by side, among which there is a famous hall, called Sanhua Juding, but he does not wear a Taoist robe, but like ordinary mountain people, short clothes and trousers, cuffs are rolled up, as if he will carry a hoe and pickaxe to work in the field at any time.
He stood next to the Dan Cave, slightly taller than the others, surrounded by many mountain people, there were no obvious rules, and it was not chaotic, leaving a narrow passage in the middle of the crowd, barely allowing the two to pass side by side.
Yuan Mao led the way, and Hu Guiyang took Xiaocao and Shi Guida to Gu Zhongxian, and looked up at this guy who had appeared many times in his dreams.
There is no resemblance at all.
Once compared with the real person, the dream will reveal an empty side, and Hu Guiyang can't even describe the characteristics of the valley fairy in the dream.
The immortal in the valley looked down at the guest condescendingly, "Do you recognize me?" ”
Hu Guiyang stared at it for too long, and said with a smile: "Maybe you don't believe it, but I remember the scene on the Sacrifice God Peak back then, so I have seen you, but I don't recognize you." ”
Gu Zhongxian walked down from a high place and glanced at Hu Guiyang and Shi Guida's faces, "You are the children taken away by Zhao Ying?" ”
Hu Guiyang hummed, Shi Guida didn't squeak, bowed his head slightly, and looked very nervous.
"He was killed by you?"
"Hmm."
"Alas, He Million is a character."
Gu Zhongxian stretched out his arms, the crowd retreated, and gave way to a large area around the deep well, Hu Guiyang didn't know what he meant, he stood still, and Xiaocao and Shi Guida didn't move.
"I introduced He Baicheng to Wenjiazhuang back then, and he was still called Liang Tiegong at that time."
"You don't have the surname Wen?"
"Those who enter the house and listen to the avenue are heard, and the people in Wenjiazhuang were not originally surnamed Wen, if you want to know, I have another name, called Wen Xuanqi."
Hu Guiyang laughed out loud, "I'm sorry, this name...... There are not many people who have lost their characters...... It's still more pleasing to the ears of the valley fairy. ”
"Whatever you want, what a million people I want to speak. I introduced him to the door, but I didn't expect him to completely change the entire Wenjiazhuang. ”
"He's a liar, always has been."
Gu Zhongxian smiled slightly, "He Million said something to me back then, and I immediately decided to accept his approach, and all kinds of things that happened in the capital and Yunyang Mansion in the future are related to those words." ”
"So amazing?"
Gu Zhongxian nodded, did not carry the mountain people, and raised his voice slightly: "He said, for thousands of years, everyone knows that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the career is sinister, why are there so many people who study hard or go into battle to kill the enemy?" Knowing that the rebels are unlucky, why are countless heroes willing to take risks? ”
"For the sake of power." Hu Guiyang didn't think there was anything magical about these words, and the answer was obvious.
"Yes, that's the power of greed, even if you point out the dangers ahead, everyone is still in front of you, and no one will back down. It was these words that touched me, He Million said that instead of asking for help, it is better to attract people, as long as there is indeed a treasure in it, everyone is willing to jump in, even if you clearly declare that you have ulterior motives, there is still an endless stream of people who voluntarily jump in. ”
Hu Guiyang was stunned, slowly turned around, with the help of a small number of torches around him, he could see many eyes shining with excitement, these people clearly heard the words of Gu Zhongxian, knowing that there was danger in the Dan acupoint, but no one was willing to retreat.
Therefore, the servants don't hide anything, because there is nothing to hide, and the truth makes everyone believe that the Danxue is the last feast, and if you don't eat a lot at this time, there will be no chance after July 15.
Half of them could die as a result, which means that half of them will survive, and when the number is reduced, the survivors are stronger.
"Without the Heavenly Machine Ship, there will be no Jindan......" Hu Guiyang himself felt weak and powerless in such a rebuttal.
Gu Zhongxian smiled, "Take your time, Jindan is not since ancient times, a hundred years ago, it could only be used for the casing, more than twenty years ago it was found that it could be used for living people, but the effect was not good, three years ago Jindan was formed, although there are small hidden dangers, who said that it must not be removed in the future?" Even if there is no golden pill, there are always people who can find a way to save their skills and lives. ”
Hu Guiyang had nothing to say, was silent for a long time, and said: "I don't want to be an official, and I don't want to take Jindan, it seems that none of us can convince anyone." ”
"That's not right."
"Isn't that right?"
"I can convince you."
Hu Guiyang laughed twice, "Listen to me." ”
Gu Zhongxian didn't speak, raised his hand and beckoned twice, and Yuan Mao walked out of the crowd.
Hu Guiyang had already felt that something was wrong with Yuan Mao, "You have ......"
Yuan Mao nodded, he had already absorbed the essence of the Dan Cave with the mountain people, "I am not a scholar, nor am I a general, what can I get by fighting all my life?" It is nothing more than a compliment from high-ranking officials and dignitaries, saying that I am loyal and honest, hard-working, and resentful. Captain Hu, you are a good person, but you are too lazy and destined to have no future. You have no future, and the people with you naturally have no future, so if it goes on like this, I might as well take refuge in this Captain Shi. ”
"Captain Shi" has a bit of a reputation among the mountain people, all of them are notorious, many people look at it and talk about it in a whisper, but no one comes out to do it.
"You're right, but ......"
Yuan Mao shook his head, indicating that he hadn't finished speaking, "Captain Shi is not a reliable place to go, he is the same as Lord Yuan, he treats people like a brother when he uses them, and discards them like a piece of paper when he doesn't use them." At the end of the day, it's still that I don't really have the skills. ”
"There's more than one skill."
Yuan Mao still shook his head and stretched out his hand to point at the Dan acupoint, "That's the real skill, Captain Hu, don't you understand?" This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, seize the opportunity, is to share with tens of millions of people, whether you can be outstanding depends on the opportunity and qualifications, but to miss the opportunity, is to see tens of millions of people surpass themselves. Captain Hu, my chances are not good, if I miss this time, I will really become a mud, and I will never have a better day. ”
Hu Guiyang's sharp teeth were not used at this time, so he could only say: "You convinced yourself, but you didn't convince me." ”
"I'm not trying to convince you, I'm just asking you to experience it once."
"Huh?"
Yuan Mao walked to the vicinity of the Dan Cave, stood straight, and gently recited the Fire God Recipe in his mouth, and there was a red light coming out of the deep well, very faint, if there was nothing.
Others came out and stood near the deep well, and unlike the ordinary mountain people, they were all wearing military uniforms, but they were not wearing weapons.
It is rumored that a team of officers and soldiers were trapped here, and they had long been attracted by the Danxue, and voluntarily put down their weapons and absorbed the essence with the mountain people.
Hu Guiyang's vision of the combination of internal and external should not be realized at all.
The red light in the deep well gradually grows and the color becomes darker.
Affected by this, the mountain people searched for their own positions, and there was no chaos, and there was no fighting.
Immortal Tanaka made a gesture of please.
Hu Guiyang did not move.
"It's useless to talk about it, Captain Hu, if you want to persuade everyone to stay away from the Dan Cave, you should try it yourself, and if you can still stop your heart after trying, I will be the first to go with you."
Hu Guiyang still didn't move, and Xiaocao said in a low voice: "Brother Hu, don't be fooled. ”
Shi Guida said: "You really should try it, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public." ”
Xiaocao glanced at Shi Guida angrily, "That thing...... Once you try, you can't give up. ”
Xiaocao had only been affected a little at the beginning, and had not taken the golden pill, nor had she approached the Dan acupoint, but she still had lingering feelings about the irresistible attraction.
Hu Guiyang turned around and smiled at Xiaocao, "You must not participate. ”
"I'm not involved, you ......"
"I'll have to try."
"Brother Hu!"
"They're right, I want to persuade everyone to stay away from the Dan Cave, and I have to prove that it can be done." Hu Guiyang turned to Shi Gui Avenue again: "The person who should give it a try is me, not you." But until the outcome is known, I hope you will keep your promises. ”
"Well, I ...... As much as possible. "Shi Guida has taken the Jin Dan, and he has not absorbed the essence of the Dan acupoint, so it's okay to get closer, but now that the red light is flashing, he can feel the impulse in his heart, as if he will suffer a major loss if he doesn't step forward.
He forcibly held back, turned and walked off into the distance.
"You're a little bit away, too." Hu Guiyang walked towards Xiaocao.
"But ......"
"You have to trust me." Hu Guiyang blinked.
Xiaocao had no choice but to retreat, feeling restless in her heart, worried about Hu Guiyang, and remembering the Dan acupoint.
Gu Zhong Immortal said: "You are the first time, you have to get closer, and recite the fire god technique, which is the language of the dwarf, and can command the Dan Cave to provide divine power." ”
Hu Guiyang took a deep breath, slowly walked to the side of the deep well, climbed up the high bulging edge of the well, and glanced inside.
It is bottomless, and it is no different from the Dan acupoint of the yamen.
There was no one else on the edge of the well, Hu Guiyang slowly recited the fire god technique, and it didn't take long for him to merge with the chanting of the people around him, and he quickly entered the realm of selflessness, which was better than the usual single practice.
Gu Zhongxian did not participate, stared at Hu Guiyang for a while, turned around and walked out of the crowd, and came to Shi Guida and Xiaocao's side.
"You don't practice?" Xiaocao asked vigilantly.
"There must be an order for so many people, and we also have to guard against a sneak attack by officers and soldiers." The fairy in the valley pointed in the direction of the exit of the valley, where there were still a large number of mountain people, who had absorbed the essence in the first half of the night, and were waiting for it at this time.
"Tomorrow morning, the officers and men will attack." Shi Guida suddenly felt that there was no need to hide it anymore.
"I can't ask for it, fighting can boost morale, and it can also make everyone believe in the strength of the Dan Cave even more."
"Brother Hu said that Jindan is harmful, and Dan acupoint is even more harmful." Xiaocao said that she also needed something to boost her confidence.
"He's just guessing, not substantiating."
Xiaocao didn't understand the hidden dangers of Zhao Aqi and the others, so naturally he couldn't refute it, so he could only say: "Brother Hu is not tempted in the city, and he won't be here." ”
Gu Zhongxian had an unfathomable smile on his face, "Maybe he's just waiting for the price to sell." ”
"What?" Xiaocao didn't understand.
Shi Guida asked coldly, "What did you do to us more than ten years ago?" ”
"I hope you are strong enough to hold up the Heavenly Machine Ship, but I didn't succeed, but it's not a complete failure." Gu Zhongxian looked at the Dan Cave in the distance, and Hu Guiyang's figure stood lonely in the middle of the heavy human wall, like a priest taking the lead, which used to be the location of Gu Zhongxian.
The light that erupted from the well was getting higher and redder, and it had surpassed the scale that Shi Guida had seen before.
"That's right, you are more suitable for Dan Cave than ordinary people." Gu Zhongxian's eyes were both envious and gratified, his efforts back then were not wasted, "For mortals, this is just an opportunity, for you, this is the reward you deserve." ”
Shi Guida couldn't bear it anymore, and walked slowly towards the Dan Cave.
Xiaocao was surprised and took a few steps back, "I'm definitely not going, I promised Brother Hu." ”
Gu Zhongxian smiled: "Every person who survives the ordeal is unusual, and is destined to do something special, your name is Xiaocao?" Xiaocao, have you thought about it, why are you the only one in the village who survived? You're the only one who came all the way here? You're the only one who was given the Fire God Trick early? Hu Guiyang has his destiny, you have your destiny, and what you have to follow is not anyone, but yourself. ”
Xiaocao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and when she looked up, the red light had jumped to a height of dozens of feet, looking down on the earth coldly, and inviting her, only her, in a haughty manner.
