Text Chapter Seventy-Nine: Gui Lao's Past

Seeing that Chen Xuanqi hadn't spoken for a long time, his face was dull, thinking that what he said scared this young man who had just entered the rivers and lakes, he coughed lightly twice and said: "The old man is just guessing, the original action of cultivating the True Sect to drive away evil and eliminate evil was also six hundred years ago, and these spirit corpses have only slowly emerged in the past ten years. ”

Qian Sen patted Chen Xuanqi on the shoulder, which pulled Chen Xuanqi back from the state of spiritual consciousness exchange, he looked at Gui Lao with a blank face, just now he only cared about communicating with the Heavenly Tribulation, and he didn't listen to what Gui Lao said.

"Forget it, I'll give you some of the potions I prepared for you to defend yourself. Gui Lao took out two jars from his space bag, and the two jars were strung together by a rattan strip, and a note was attached to each jar.

"This is a flame potion made of red sunflowers, sabertooth grass and bitter mourning branches, only a trace of fire is needed to form a raging fire, and it also has the effect of fire poison, which is very useful to deal with spirit corpses, and the corpse eaters cultivated by the corpse Dao people are also very afraid of this kind of flame. ”

"This is the medicine I gave Qian Sen for treatment, if you are attacked by a spirit corpse or other things with corpse qi, treat the wound, and drop this antidote to get rid of the corpse qi. ”

Gui Laoyi explained the use and usage of these two pots of potions to Chen Xuanqi one by one, and Chen Xuanqi found that the stoppers of the two jars were marked with red and green pigments to distinguish them in time in case of emergency.

"It seems that I came to find Gui Lao today, I don't know why your old man is so interested in spirit corpses?" Chen Xuanqi put the two medicine jars in his bag and asked rhetorically.

Gui Lao's expression darkened, sighed, and said: "In the past, I only heard that there were zombies near Shixia Town, and I had never heard of a spirit corpse, so the people in the town and village didn't pay too much attention to it, anyway, there were monks nearby who would clean it up." ”

"The old man also gave the family pharmacy to my son to take care of, and went outside alone to study the medicinal properties of more elixirs, but the appearance of the spirit corpse has changed the number of zombies a lot, and many lonely graves in the mountains have been infected by corpse gas, and my son met a spirit corpse on the way to collect medicine and was bitten to death. ”

The more Gui Lao spoke, the more sad he became, and there were tears rolling in his eyes, it could be seen that he was in endless self-blame because of the death of his own son, Gui Lao Lao already looked like he was sixty or seventy years old, but his early cultivation could still resist a spirit corpse a little.

The younger generation talked a lot and mentioned Gui Lao's sadness. Chen Xuanqi hurriedly apologized.

Gui Lao rubbed his eyes and said: "It's okay, it's been a few years, and the grief in the old man's heart has long faded a lot, and now the old man just wants to get rid of the corpses for the surrounding villagers, I hope you can help with all your heart." ”

Chen Xuanqi didn't speak, but the Heavenly Tribulation in the Sea of Knowledge said to him: "This is pressing you with righteousness, it is better for you to do what you can, it is true that Purple Thunder restrains some evil things, but your strength is too low now, and the restraint effect of the stronger evil things is relatively weak." ”

Looking at the wrinkled Gui Lao, who buried himself in researching the medicine to restrain zombies every day, in order to avenge his son and rebuild a safe home for the villagers, Chen Xuanqi thought of Chen Yanchuan, what happened to him and Gui Lao was just the opposite role, and he worked hard to avenge his relatives.

"Elder Gui, don't worry, since I have promised Sect Master Lu, I will definitely try my best to solve the problem of corpses. ”

When Gui Lao and Qian Sen heard Chen Xuanqi's promise, the stone in their hearts also fell to the ground, and Qian Sen smiled: "When my injury is completely healed, I will definitely have a drink with you Brother Chen." ”

Chen Xuanqi waved his hand and said, "Brother Qian, don't, I just drank a few drinks last night, and when I returned to the room, I became unconscious, and after I grew up, I will have a chance to have another drink with you." ”

Now that he got the information he wanted, Chen Xuanqi didn't stay here for long with Gui Lao, and after saying goodbye to the two, he planned to return to his room.

"The young man still has a strong sense of justice, and it seems that after avenging your father, the burden in his heart is not so heavy. Heavenly Tribulation said.

"This operation kills two birds with one stone, since the spiritual sense can help the tree of life grow, then I must get the elixir in the ancient tomb. "Chen Xuanqi is not without reason to go on an adventure.

Tian Tribulation smiled: "You can find this reason, the Tree of Life? It's a good name, in fact, it's already slowly transforming your spiritual power, but you haven't noticed it." ”

Chen Xuanqi felt the movement of the sea of consciousness, and carefully observed the sapling that he named the "Tree of Life" with his spiritual sense, and found that from its few leaves, a faint green light point was emitted, and it entered his meridians little by little from the sea of consciousness, and flowed through the meridians of his whole body with his spiritual power.

"Is this green point of light the life force?"

"That's right, when you have the life force, another function of your Spiritualism will be ready to use. ”

Chen Xuanqi remembered that the Heavenly Tribulation had told him about the secret technique in "The Secret of Life and Death", and after the Imperial Spirit Recipe had the life force, it could give the life force in his body to other living beings, and even had the effect of resurrecting the dead.

"Where there is a lot of corpse qi, there are a lot of elixirs to increase spiritual sense, it would be good if you could produce a few Nine Yin Fruits, with that kind of spiritual fruit, if you retreat and cultivate for a few months, it is estimated that you can step into the middle stage of innate nature. Heavenly Tribulation said.

Chen Xuanqi had never heard of the spirit fruit of the "Nine Yin Fruit", and asked curiously, "What grade is the Nine Yin Fruit?" It can actually allow me to break through a small stage in just a few months. ”

"According to what you said here, it should be a ground-level spirit fruit, which is a relatively common spirit fruit in the star field. ”

Chen Xuanqi was speechless for a while, the earth-level spirit fruits of this continent were all common in the star field, what kind of strange effect would the higher-level spirit fruits in the star field be.

Not long after Chen Xuanqi returned to his room, the disciple who had informed him to go to the main hall today appeared in front of him again, he took a few good dishes, put them on the table to say hello to Chen Xuanqi and left.

Chen Xuanqi hadn't eaten in the morning, and now he was indeed a little hungry, so he sat down and began to gobble it up.

......

Two days later, on the mountain road leading to Shixia Town.

Chen Xuanqi and Qu Wei and Chen Ruhui, who accompanied him, were hurrying on the road, the ancient tomb was located in the east of Shixia Town, so the three sects agreed to gather in Shixia Town first.

It took half a day to get from Liuyun Sect to Shixia Town, and the three of them set off early in the morning, and after arriving at Shixia Town, they would rest there for one night, and then go to the peak where the ancient tomb was located the next day.

Qu Wei has been silent all the way, he didn't say anything, and I don't know if he has such a personality or something on his mind. However, Chen Xuanqi has been closer to this woman because Chen Ruhui has accompanied him on a tour of the mountains and rivers in the past two days, and the two have talked and laughed along the way.

"There is a snack in Changxiang City called July Crisp, which is made by picking the lotus seeds that grow in the lake in July, and it is very refreshing to eat in summer, but unfortunately it is now autumn, the flavor is far from the same, and the next time I have the opportunity to bring it from Changxiang City to Miss Chen to taste it. ”

Chen Xuanqi and Chen Ruhui chatted about the anecdotes and snacks he knew, he had been doing business with Chen Yanchuan since he was a child, so he naturally knew a lot of things about customs and customs, and it also made Chen Ruhui's beautiful face smile.

Qu Wei listened to the conversation between the two on the side, feeling extremely depressed, and his current situation was very embarrassing. Fortunately, this time he and Chen Ruhui came out together, if he was replaced by Gong Xi, it is estimated that Gong Xi's temper will explode.

He is the senior brother of the entire Liuyun Sect, many disciples of the Liuyun Sect were brought to the sect by Lu Ziye when they were very young, Qu Wei and the three disciples of the Contemplation Period are like this, the older Qu Wei can be said to have grown up watching other disciples, Chen Ruhui and Gong Xi are like his younger brothers and sisters.

But Gong Xi's feelings for Chen Ruhui are different, Gong Xi has always wanted to pursue Chen Ruhui, but Chen Ruhui himself didn't mean that, and he didn't dare to mention this matter to Lu Ziye, so Gong Xi could only secretly show favor to Chen Ruhui.

If he saw the chatter and laughter of the two people in front of him, Gong Xi, who was already jealous of Chen Xuanqi's talent, would definitely not be patient in his heart, so it would be difficult to say whether this operation would go smoothly.

"It seems that I have to find a time to enlighten Senior Brother Gong. Qu Wei thought to himself.

The environment around the three of them slowly began to change, and as they walked out of the mountains, they eventually came to a slightly wider road, along which they looked at a canyon between the two high mountains in the distance.

"It's the town of Shixia, and there are some smaller villages nearby. Qu Wei pointed to the twin peaks in the distance and said to Chen Xuanqi.

Chen Xuanqi looked at the destination in the distance, the main destination of his departure this time was Changyue City, which was located in the west of Changxiang City, and now in order to explore the ancient tomb, he went back instead.

Chen Ruhui was in a good mood, and said with a sweet smile on her face: "There is a tavern in Shixia Town where the game is delicious, I will take you over to eat it later, I remember that Senior Brother Qu likes to eat the phoenix pheasant there." ”

Qu Wei thought of the food, swallowed his saliva, and his depressed mood was swept away, and said: "There is also roast boar, I don't know if Uncle Lei has hunted boar, let's hurry up, don't let others wait." ”

Three hours later, two towering peaks were in front of the trio, forming a canyon with some tall and low buildings, and against the mountain wall, the residents had made many defenses against the collapse of the mountain.

There was a heavy wooden door on the wall at the entrance of the town, which was now open, and the three of them walked into the door and stepped into Shixia Town.

The town doesn't seem to be very lively, and a town like this in the mountains is usually rarely visited by outsiders, and there may be occasional wandering merchants and wild visitors.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Chen? I haven't seen her for many days, but she's a lot more beautiful. ”
