Chapter 34: Sending Beauty to the Door
In a quiet room in the back house of Ye Mansion, the door was closed, the room was quiet and shady, the ground was spotless, and there was a finger thick of yellow sand. In the center of the empty room was a huge square table with bottles and jars of different sizes.
Ye Xiaotian stood beside the table, carefully operating. Elder Dong, dressed in black robes, stood beside him, explaining to him some precautions and detailed steps for Gu cultivation in a soft and slow voice.
Gu art is a very mysterious thing in the eyes of the world, and the method of refining Gu worms is even more incredible to people who don't know the details, so there are many unbelievable legends, in fact, it is not so weird and bizarre, Gu magic is not witchcraft, it is not to make a frog throw it into the pot, put two feathers, and then twist the lizard to drip blood inside, and there are words in the mouth, it has some supernatural ability.
A more reliable way to say Gu should be a biochemical product. Catching all kinds of poisonous insects is to collect raw materials and cultivate Gu insects with their own unique secret techniques, which is the process of refining, purifying and synthesizing. In this process, a small mistake in the program, a slight deviation in the synthesis ratio, may fail.
Of course, some Gu magicians with extremely high attainments in Gu art sometimes have a purposeful deviation, that is, in order to experiment with Gu worms with new effects. However, this process must be performed by an experienced Gu cultivator, and an apprentice who has just entered the industry would never dare to do it indiscriminately.
Because of the deviation in the operation process, it would be good if the Gu worm that was formed by the guide zhì died, but once an unprecedented new type of Gu worm was really refined, before it appeared, no one could be sure what it would look like, what kind of ability it had, and it would be too dangerous to protect it in advance.
Therefore, even with a person with profound Gu skills like Elder Winter on the side to assist and guide, he is ready to respond to emergencies at any time. Ye Xiaotian was still cautious and engrossed.
Ye Xiaotian came to practice Gu art with Elder Dong today, not on a whim, but because Elder Dong was about to return to the mountain, Ye Xiaotian came to do the "last lesson" to fulfill his master-apprentice affection.
Elder Dong served Ye Xiaotian around, and his only task was to teach Ye Xiaotian to learn Gu arts, as a pure technical talent, although his eyesight was extremely poor, in fact, he could also be competent for this mission, but Ye Xiaotian chose the path of joining the WTO. There is simply no time to calm down and study.
A few years have passed, and Ye Xiaotian's Gu skill level has barely improved, and he is not even a half-hanger. The last time he came to visit His Holiness, he reported to the elders about His Holiness's current situation, and inevitably mentioned this matter, and the elders were very dissatisfied, so they decided to change His Holiness with an "Elder of Meritorious Service".
This new "Elder of Meritorious Service" is another person who has been promoted to the new elder along with Eborg after the battle for the throne of the Venerable, and his name is only one word: "Yay! "Ever since he was promoted to elder. The honorific title became "Yayah!" ”
Ye Xiaotian has never seriously practiced Gu arts, on the one hand, because he really has a lot of things, and on the other hand, because Shizhang Hongchen is far more attractive to him than being a Gu artist, he would rather be a petty official in the world. I don't want to hide in the mountains and be a grass king in a "cage".
And this time Elder Dong returned to the mountain, in fact, it was also from Ye Xiaotian's planning, since he decided to guide the Shengmiao tribe to embark on a new development path. It was decided to take advantage of the opportunity to lure these elders out of the mountain and accept the edification of secular society.
For thousands of years. With the continuous development of the local area and the continuous integration of human society, the originally closed social structure of the Miao family has been continuously broken, and more and more Miao tribes have broken away from the control of the Gu Sect, which has made the leaders of the Gu Sect feel the crisis.
Their way to deal with it is to erect a fence around themselves, refuse their own people to come out, and refuse to allow people from outside to walk in, so as to maintain their absolute rule, but in Ye Xiaotian's opinion, this move may continue their collapse, but it is impossible to avoid their demise.
It is impossible to isolate the infiltration and influence of the outside world, and sooner or later the closed mountain will be eroded by the outside world, and then this rule formed purely by faith will fall apart, and it will be an irreparable catastrophe.
Even if they can maintain their rule for a long time in the future, changes will not happen internally, and as the outside world continues to grow stronger, they can only become a group of "primitive people" who are ignorant and backward in the eyes of the world, and are conquered by advanced civilizations.
Only by coming out and integrating into it is the way to long-term development. This is the path that he, as the Venerable One of these terms, has chosen for the Gu Sect and the hundreds of thousands of mountain seedlings who believe in the Gu Sect: Join the WTO! Of course, from the perspective of his personal ideals and interests, Shanmiao can only really help him by going out and changing from raw seedlings to mature seedlings.
Therefore, after this idea matured, he deliberately wanted to urge Elder Dong to return to the mountain, so as to ensure that the elders would appear in turn, see this world of flowers with him, and pave the way for him to finally bring the seedlings out of the deep mountains.
Therefore, when Yi Bo came to visit him, he deliberately revealed that he had learned Gu art to nothing, the purpose was to change people, the more elders he came into contact with, and the more they had to accompany him to be immersed in the red dust, the less resistance his future plans would encounter.
Facing the ashamed and self-blaming Elder Dong, Ye Xiaotian naturally felt ashamed, but it also strengthened his belief that he came out: he just used a little trick, and Yi Bo was fooled, and the elders were led by his nose and acted obediently, but from beginning to end, they all thought that this was a choice under their control, and this was the disadvantage of being closed in the mountains.
Although they had to travel the world when they were young, they had been in the mountains for decades, without the threat of a strong external enemy, without too much internal competition, and their scheming and intelligence were degrading. It is good for a person to be kind and simple, but as a family member of hundreds of thousands of seedlings, it is so simple, it is terrible.
Even in today's era, they have hundreds of thousands of seedlings, which means that they still have an extremely powerful force, and they also have a mysterious Gu technique, which is inevitably used by people with a heart, a giant with infinite strength, but his IQ is only a few years old, how can he not become a victim of being used.
"If you enter, you will not be able to stay at home, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish." The same was true for Gu Sect and Sheng Miao, so even if he felt a little sorry for Elder Dong, Ye Xiaotian still chose this path. Learning Gu today is purely for the sake of a disciple's mind.
"Sir! Master! A guest has arrived! ”
A shout sounded outside, which frightened Ye Xiaotian, who was engrossed, and fell down with a "dang" of an altar lid in his hand. He had already ordered the whole house not to be disturbed, but he didn't expect Ruo Xiaosheng to shout.
Ye Xiaotian turned around angrily and shouted outside the door: "Didn't you say that I didn't see a guest today?" You let Siniang receive it, and ask the guests to stay and pay their respects. ”
Ruo Xiaosheng stood in the courtyard and said in a snort: "The master commands, do you dare to obey?" It's just that this guest is the white master, and the white master said that he has important official business to discuss with the master, and the villain is afraid that he will miss the master's big event......"
Elder Winter sighed. Said to Ye Xiaotian: "Since this is the case, the Venerable will go and meet the guests first, you can't practice anything for a while, and when the Yeo comes, he will continue to teach the Venerable to practice." ”
Ye Xiaotian heard that Bai Hong was coming, so it was not easy for people with such status to be dismissed, and besides, since it was for important official business, it really couldn't be delayed, so he had to agree to come down in a curt. Hurry up and pack your things.
He didn't notice that the lid of the altar had just fallen, and one of the three Gu worms that was about to take shape in the altar was so frightened that it jumped out of the jar and jumped into another smaller jar. swallowed the poisonous insect in the jar in one gulp, and jumped out again, eager to pounce on him.
But as soon as the Gu worm pounced on Ye Xiaotian, he smelled an extremely strong smell on his body for all kinds of Gu worms. Deng Shi hurriedly dodged away and hid in the gap between several jars. The Gu Sect refined Gu worms and went through countless experiments. There are some rules and experiences that are not included.
But because Ye Xiaotian made a mistake in his busyness, the Gu worm devoured some poisonous insects that should not have fused with it, and it had mutated to form a new Gu worm, but Ye Xiaotian was looking back angrily and asked, Elder Dong's eyes were not good, and neither of them actually noticed.
Ye Xiaotian left in a hurry, Elder Dong put the jars on the lids, sighed, and left, the cricket-like Gu worm poked out its whiskers from the cracks in the jars, chirped a few times, jumped to the ground, jumped a few times in a row, and then drilled out of the crack in the door.
Bai Hong got Hua Qingfeng's reminder that he came to the door today to ask Ye Xiaotian for help, asking for help, he had to say that he had brought another generous gift.
As soon as Ye Xiaotian heard Bai Hong's explanation, he readily agreed. He is the promoter of the new tax ambassador, and he is also worried that Bai Hong will not succeed in Tongren, which will bring a series of problems, but he is not in his position, and he is not good to interfere more. Now Bai Hong took the initiative to ask for help, which was in his arms, how could there be any reason not to agree.
Master Bai was worried in his heart here, for fear that Ye Xiaotian would not agree, and when he saw Ye Xiaotian agree, he couldn't help but be grateful inexplicably, and said goodbye after a thousand thanks. Ye Xiaotian sent him out of the mansion, and was just about to say goodbye, when he looked up, he saw several people escorting a small sedan chair to the front of the mansion.
When Ye Xiaotian saw that the person guarding the sedan chair was Zhao Wenyuan, he was a little surprised, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Brother Zhao, how can you have time to come over today." ”
Zhao Wenyuan waved his hand to stop the sedan chair, stepped forward, and smiled at Ye Xiaotian: "Brother Ye Xian, ah! The white master book is also there, rude, rude. Haha, virtuous brother, for my brother, the post house is in disrepair, and I am looking for someone to pick it up, this time I can't do it without three or two months of hard work, it's not good for my wife to live in the inn, you have a large courtyard here, and you are here to ask for a place to settle down, and you won't be turned away, right? ”
While speaking, Qian Qingqing also came out of the sedan chair and saluted Ye Xiaotian and Master Bai Yingying. Master Bai has seen Zhao Yicheng a few times before, but it is the first time he has seen Zhao Yicheng's wife, and he can't help but shine when he sees such a beautiful and refined beauty, especially the tall and tall man.
Master Bai twisted his mouse whiskers and thought secretly: "Ye Xiancheng is young and strong, and he has not yet married a wife, Zhao Yicheng has such a beautiful woman and dares to trust him in the house, so he is not afraid that Ye Xiancheng will steal from him?" Cough! If it were me, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to control it. ”
: It's the end of the month, and I'm looking for monthly passes and recommended tickets!
Today, Saturday, this week's rest day will be placed today and tomorrow, I hope you know. (To be continued......)
