Chapter 171: What to Ask For

Jiang Lingfan's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked very puzzled:

"It is said that many Gu have been lurking for many years, so how can you tell if a person has fallen into Gu?"

Back then, because of the scourge of Gu chaos, the imperial court strictly banned Gu, on the other hand, it was also because the methods of witchcraft were unguardable, and it was difficult to distinguish whether it was a Gu or not; How to solve Gu poison, it is difficult to do.

Even if Gu masters don't use Gu to do things that hurt heaven and reason, the Central Plains Xuan Master still subconsciously attributed them to the likes of the Evil Demon Outer Dao.

Seeing Jiang Lingfan's nervous appearance, Yu Xia couldn't help but chuckle.

"It's not difficult to distinguish, people who have been parasitized by Gu all the year round will have a unique smell on their bodies, and ordinary people can't smell it, but the same kind of Gu before they become Gu will be very close to them because of the familiar smell."

The two Jiang brothers were thoughtful, they walked outside, and encountered many strange things that were difficult to answer, and every time at that time, they hated themselves for being too inexperienced and unable to resolve all the grievances they encountered, which was a thing that made them very angry as protectors.

"Miss Yu, I've always wanted to ask you."

Jiang Lingfan suddenly said with a straight face, and actually used a polite address to Yu Xia, looking very serious.

Seeing him like this, Yu Xia couldn't help but become a little more serious, looking at him quietly, waiting for his next step.

"Why do you know so much at such a young age?"

Jiang Lingfan showed a look of confusion on his face.

"Many seniors have told me that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, walk more, see more, and the problems that I didn't understand before can be easily solved. In addition to solid basic skills, what is more important is experience and experience. ”

"But why is it that I, who have walked a lot, am often inferior to you, who was born in a peasant family and has never traveled far? Am I stupid? ”

This is something that Jiang Lingfan can't help but care about.

Although he seems to be babbling and sometimes acts very impulsively, he is very concerned about his own ability.

Although he was always complained about, he was proud of his many grievances, and considered himself a rare brave and resourceful protector.

But today, all of this has been broken, and he can't help but start to doubt himself.

Yu Xia didn't expect Jiang Lingfan to say such a thing.

But after thinking about it, I understood it again.

They are twin brothers who are clearly the same age, but obviously Jiang Lingfan was led by his brother Jiang Jiu all the way.

In the past, he could comfort himself with the glory of his grievances, thinking that he was not useless, but what happened today made his self-confidence take a hit.

Yu Xia looked at Jiang Lingfan and shook his head with a chuckle.

"You're not right, and your seniors aren't right."

Jiang Lingfan looked up at her suspiciously.

"In addition to talent, in addition to the experience of traveling south and north, there must also be opportunities."

"Some Xuanshi have no shortage of talent and vision, but they finally fail on the road of seeking the Tao, just because they lack a bit of luck."

As far as she is concerned, she entered the Xuanmen in a daze, and to this day, how could it not be due to luck?

If there were no inexplicable inheritances, and there were no encounters with Chen Daoren, where would there be today's Yu Xia?

Yu Xia's words made Jiang Lingfan silent for a long time.

Jiang Jiujiu sighed softly and patted Jiang Lingfan's shoulder.

"Why do you think so much? I know that you are very concerned about how others compare you and my brother, and think that you are inferior to me in every way. But Miss Yu is right, because I wanted to shoulder the responsibility of my eldest brother, I faced a lot of things alone and had many valuable experiences, which made me who I am today, and that is the opportunity that Miss Yu said. ”

Jiang Jiujiu is telling the truth from the bottom of his heart, but what he didn't say is that his so-called opportunities are actually the potential to explode in the face of life and death tests again and again.

However, Jiang Lingfan did not relax because of these words, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

"If you don't have luck, can you only struggle like this until you die?"

Jiang Lingfan had a depressed look on his face, he is now twenty years old, since he reached the three-grade realm at the age of sixteen and successfully entered the Daoyuan Hall, now four years have passed, and his cultivation is still stuck at the peak of the third-grade, and he is just short of being promoted with one foot in the door, but he can't enter, and he can't cross the threshold.

For this reason, he traveled outside for two whole years, and he didn't come back to take a look, but no matter how many places he went, no matter how many grievances he felt, there was still no breakthrough in his cultivation.

This unattractive country girl in front of her, I heard others say that she has only been in the Xuanmen for less than a year, and at the age of eight she is a second-grade Xuanshi, and she is proficient in the way of feng shui, and she is a rare genius.

He didn't take it seriously before, he had seen a lot of geniuses, and he often only knew how to immerse himself in cultivation, and for other metaphysical methods, it was all on paper, and it didn't play any practical role in case of trouble, and in the end, the Heavenly Dao would not favor them.

But Yu Xia subverted what he had always knew.

This girl may still be young, and her realm may not be high, but she knows the secrets of the Xuanmen in great detail, and she also really does practical things, and uses what she has learned where she needs it, which is very different from those geniuses who don't eat the fireworks of the world and look at people with their nostrils.

Take her accidentally falling into a fantasy before, who would have thought that an eight-year-old girl would be able to calm down so quickly after experiencing danger, and even link her experience with the murder case, and calmly analyze the case with what she has learned?

This girl is much better than herself.

He is not badly talented, hardworking, and has good experience in the rivers and lakes, but he is not defeated by such a girl after all.

"Jiang Lingfan, let me ask you, what did you enter the Xuanmen for?"

Yu Xia saw Jiang Lingfan's face full of panic, and knew that he was caught in a strange circle of his own thinking, and he couldn't get around.

In the words of Buddhism, this is "the appearance of the face".

In pursuit of the Heavenly Dao, it is easy for the Xuan Master to think too much about things, but instead his Dao heart is disordered, which is not conducive to his cultivation.

"Naturally, with one's own strength, let more wronged people show the snow."

Jiang Lingfan replied without hesitation.

Yu Xia smiled.

"In that case, don't you know where the 'word' you are asking is?"

"Why are you afraid of death?"

Jiang Lingfan was stunned.

The way he prayed?

Yes, what he is seeking is not the way of heaven, or in other words, the way he is seeking is a concrete form of the way of heaven.

That's redressing people's grievances.

As for cultivation, that is only a incidental matter, for him, cultivation is just a means to assist him in redressing his grievances.

From the beginning to the end, his heart to seek the Tao has never changed, and his "Tao" has always been very clearly laid out in front of him, never out of reach.

How good his luck is, how he cultivates, has never affected his determination to redress his grievances.

So what does he have to worry about?

The more Jiang Lingfan thought about it, the more relaxed his expression became, and the brighter his eyes became.

Suddenly, a gust of breeze quietly rolled up in this airtight room.

Cools down the slightly stuffy room.

This gust of wind is not violent, but it is endless, as if a feather blows through people's hearts, and people's impetuous hearts are instantly calm.

There were many small transparent light clusters that slowly floated over with this gust of wind, gathered around Jiang Lingfan, and submerged from his spiritual platform little by little, entering his body.

Jiang Jiujiu looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

"He's advanced?"
