Wucheng West, Guo Family.

The boudoir of the eldest lady of the Guo family was decorated with lights, as if she was married, and a slender woman figure sat in front of the mirror of the dresser, and two maids behind her were grooming her.

The woman in the mirror is covered with thin powder, her skin is like congealed fat, white and flawless, her temples are divided into two sides, hanging down on her smooth shoulders like a knife, cold and bright like a fairy in a painting.

She is the pearl of the Guo family, Guo Ruyi.

Guo Ruyi withdrew from the maid, painted the last bit of cinnabar on his eyebrows with his own hands, and stood up and pushed the door out.

"Father, mother, my daughter is gone. ”

There were a few people standing outside the door, she walked up to a middle-aged couple dressed in gorgeous clothes, and bowed, "Your second elder should take care of her body at home, and when your daughter is successful in her cultivation, she will definitely come back to visit as soon as possible." ”

She looked at a thirteen or fourteen-year-old young man next to her, and touched his head: "Xiaohu, I'm not at home in the future, you have to listen to your father and mother, don't make them angry, do you hear?"

"I know, sister, you're so long-winded!"

The boy stuck out his tongue at her and grimaced, "Let's go, let's go, those toys of yours will be mine in the future!"

"Like a tiger, you can't mess around like this in front of the immortal master. The head of the Guo family reprimanded his son.

After exchanging a few words with his family, Guo Ruyi walked to the old man with crane hair who was already standing on one side, and said respectfully: "Elder Bai, everything is over, we can leave." ”

"The boy, have you already taken care of it?"

"I have already sent someone to do it today, and I used the 'blood seal throat scattering' given by you, elder, and it should be foolproof. ”

Guo Ruyi knew who the old man was talking about, so he nodded, "However, the servant who ran the business hasn't come back to report to me, since the elder is concerned, why don't we go to Nanfu first——"

"No, I'll just mention it casually. A few days ago, I told the young man that he should not live to this day. ”

The crane-haired old man waved his hand, then groaned slightly, and said, "Are you wondering, why did I have to let you take that young man's life?"

“...... Ruyi is indeed puzzled in his heart. ”

"You don't know, I teach the cultivation method, and I pay attention to the clarity of the heart, and there is no hindrance. That young man is your calamity in the red dust, if you should be robbed, it is okay to marry him, but since you have a feud with him, it is best to kill him for a hundred, this is called a calamity. Otherwise, you will always have an entanglement with him in your heart, and your state of mind will be dusty, which is not conducive to cultivation. ”

The old man said and glanced at her appreciatively, "You girl is also decisive, which is in line with the essence of my teachings. ”

"Ruyi thanks for the teachings of the elders. ”

Guo Ruyi waved his hand obediently, but he was relieved in his heart, and secretly made a false alarm.

This Quartet Sect Elder surnamed Bai has no name, although cultivation is not very advanced in her opinion, but she is extremely good at divination, she was also worried for a while, whether the other party had calculated her heels, and now it seems that she thinks too much.

There is a big secret hidden in her heart, which she has never even told her parents and relatives, only she knows.

The current Guo Ruyi is no longer the Guo Ruyi of the past.

She was reborn from the future!

Guo Ruyi has the memory of hundreds of years in her mind, she knows this Elder Bai of the Sifang Sect, and knows that he will travel to Wucheng a month ago, and she was also discovered and brought back to the Sifang Sect in this life, this life is just following the route in her memory and going again, she has no experience in the past, and even won the favor of Elder Bai as she liked, and was accepted as a disciple by him.

And in the memory of her previous life, the young Nan Ming, who was divorced by her and seriously injured and dying, did not become a wasted person later, but shined in the entrance test of tomorrow's Yunliu Academy Palace, and embarked on the road of cultivation, and his cultivation was even higher all the way, and he completely surpassed himself in just a few years.

Guo Ruyi's death in the previous life was because Nan Ming cultivated to slaughter the Quartet Sect single-handedly after becoming a Dacheng, and she was already the leader of the Quartet Sect at that time, she resisted desperately, but she was still invincible to his ferocity, and was even taken back by him and imprisoned in the space treasure.

She couldn't bear the humiliation, so she found an opportunity to commit suicide, but she didn't expect to be reborn and return to the present.

Sure enough, the way of heaven is vast, and there is always a glimmer of life.

In this life, she will never let the tragedy happen again!

Even if Bai Wudao didn't let her kill that young man, Guo Ruyi wouldn't let him go, because she wanted to nip that demon in the bud so that he would never have a chance to turn over!

"In the last life, this Bai Wudao didn't let me kill him. The reason why this life is different is presumably because I became his disciple, and he is more attentive to my practice, although the art of divination is magical, it should not be regarded as a great mystery of rebirth......"

Guo Ruyi thought calmly.

If she could, she would love to go to Nan's house to take a look and confirm the man's death. But now that the initiative is in Bai Wudao's hands, he doesn't agree, and she can't force it.

I'll have to find a way to come back and take a look at it later. She said secretly in her heart.

Then he suddenly remembered something, turned back to his father and said, "By the way, if a tall servant of the Nan family comes to me to receive the reward these days, remember to leave him behind, and don't let him spread the news." ”

"For the Father's sake. Don't worry, that person can't get out of the gate of the Guo family. ”

With a final command, the figures of Guo Ruyi and Elder Bai rose into the sky and disappeared like the wind.

The people on the ground looked up and watched the figures of the two disappear into the sunset on the horizon, and their faces invariably showed admiration.

"Daddy, mother, I'm going to practice in the future! I'm going to be an immortal master—"

Guo Ruhu clenched his fists and shouted.

The sun is setting.

Night fell.

......

......

Nan Ming's body squirmed, like countless entangled snakes walking under the skin, accompanied by a terrifying sound of flesh and blood bulging and bones pulling, his appearance changed to the appearance of "Tiger Head Brother".

"Brother Hutou", whose full name is Zhang Hutou, is a woodcutter in the kitchen of the Nanjia family. His body is much stronger and burly than Nan Ming, and his beard is scruffy on his fleshy face, and if he takes off his shirt and carries an axe, he will be a vicious bandit leader.

Nanming stood by the well and looked at his reflection, expressing great satisfaction with this image.

casually put a servant's cloth robe on his body, he left the Nanjia mansion in the night, and walked towards the Guo family in the west of Nawu City.

In the southeast and west, the two wealthy families of Wucheng are entrenched on one side, and there is a city lord's mansion in the middle.

Nanming walked on the street with Zhang Hu's vest on his head, and few people dared to look at him all the way, and even the old bustard in Yichun Yuan retreated when he saw it, giving him the illusion of returning to the "previous life".

When he came to the gate of Guo's mansion, two brave porters finally stood up and blocked his way: "Stop! Who are you and what are you doing?"

"Two masters, the little one has a message to bring to Miss Guo's family, please be accommodating. ”

Nan Ming grinned a hint of a smile, and with his fierce face and big eyes like copper bells at this time, it suddenly turned into a standard grin, which frightened the necks of the two porters.

He thought for a moment, conjured up a few pieces of broken silver in his hand, handed them over, and said in a low voice, "It's a small meaning, it's not a respect." ”

However, in the ears of the two porters, there was a deep threat in this low, thick and hoarse voice, as if he was about to break his neck if he didn't agree with him...... Guys, please come in!"

This is different from what is written in the book, and sure enough, the novel is a lie.

Silently admiring the high wind and brightness of the two porters in his heart, Nanming felt that in order to praise this excellent character, they should be allowed to die happily later, and it is everyone's responsibility to carry forward positive energy.

He didn't know the road of Guofu, and after walking a short distance, he saw a thin old man in the courtyard, with a long pointed face and a figure-eight beard, and he looked very mean when he raised his chin, and heard others call him "the golden steward".

He walked up to the old man, hugged his fists, and said angrily: "Steward, I have something to find you Miss Guo, can you lead the way?"

"Where did you come from, a reckless man who looks so rude, my young lady is a young lady you can see if you want to see ......"

The golden steward glanced at him, and wanted to scold him and drive away, but after looking carefully, he changed his words again, "...... Wait, are you the one who does the work for Miss? Come with me. ”

Steward Jin waved his hand and beckoned the two courtyards, surrounded Nan Ming in the middle like escorting a prisoner, and pushed him towards the depths of Guo's mansion.

Walking to a deserted courtyard in the middle of nowhere, they stopped, and Nan Ming tapped the ground with his toes, realizing that it was empty underneath, and they were a little curious.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Silly big man, you won't be able to see Miss, she has gone to practice with the immortal master, but she told me about you before leaving, and it has been arranged......"

The gold steward paced slowly, and suddenly waved his hand, "Put him in." Lock him up and don't let him run away, and wait for the master to come back and decide. ”

But he said this to the two nurses.

When the latter heard this, he opened a secret door on the ground, and a stone ladder was revealed behind the secret door, and the two escorted Nanming down, and there was a huge space underground, and there were dozens of iron barred cells arranged on both sides.

I'm afraid no one would have imagined that there was such a secret prison hidden under the Guo family's mansion.

Setting up a secret prison is a felony to go to prison, and it is a taboo for lords like raising private soldiers. Of course, there is hardly anyone in the wealthy family in this Northern Qi Territory who does not do this, but they don't dare to be blatant.

As far as Nan Ming knows, in fact, the Nan family also has one, because "he" has been imprisoned in it.

Nan Ming did not resist, and allowed the two guards to shackle his hands and feet, and then locked him in a deep cell.

One of the cells next to him was empty, and the other was a crazy man carving something into the stone wall with his bloody nails, and the stone walls and floor tiles of that cell were all covered with dark red strange patterns, and at first glance it seemed to be the sacrifice site of some cult.

Nan Ming looked at it curiously for a while, only feeling that this pattern was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember if he had seen it anywhere.

He lived too long, and many long-aged, inconsequential memories were selectively forgotten, and it took a lot of time to recall them.

At this time, a hoarse voice came from the cell across the corridor: "Brother, how did you get in? Can you tell me what time it is outside?"

"January of the ninth year of the Apocalypse. Nanming told him.

"It's been nine years, time flies so fast......"

The man in the prison sighed in a sighing tone, "That old thief Guo has locked up Lao Tzu for more than three years! Just for my family's secret book of sword techniques, but that old thief doesn't know, I'd rather die than hand it over to him." Over the years, the Guo family has harmed many fellow cultivators, and even my brother has died in their hands, if I can go out one day, I will definitely kill the old thieves of the Guo family!"

Xu is prison life is too boring, it is rare to have someone to talk to, this middle-aged man opened the conversation box in a rambling manner.

Nan Ming looked at this chatter expressionlessly, and began to regret talking to him.

"This brother, you were also caught by the old thief and forced to interrogate the Peerless Scholar, right? Let me tell you, no matter what kind of conditions the old thief offers, you must not give in! Otherwise, it will be a dead end! I have seen it with my own eyes, and those fellow Daoists who have handed over the Peerless Sect have never come back from this cell, so can the old thief really let them go? I'm afraid they will all be wiped out......

"Also, the guy in the cell next to you, you must not bother. He is a madman, or the biological brother of the old thief Guo, who didn't listen to the advice of others to practice the "Great Wilderness Heart Demon Sutra", and he went crazy when he practiced......"

In the darkness, Nan Ming had already raised a hand, and the blood on his hand was wriggling, entangled with the giant black claws that had swelled into hideous, and the sharp claw blades gently slashed through the iron grate of the cell, as smooth and silent as a hot knife cutting butter, and the iron grate had already broken.

The giant claw passed through the iron grate and continued to stretch forward, enveloping the opposite cell like a huge shadow, and Nan Ming planned to use his own method to quiet the chatterbox, but the other party's words made him pause.

"The Great Wilderness Heart Demon Sutra?"

"That's right! It's the forbidden law that can't be practiced anyway...... You don't know?"

"I really don't know. ”

"It's good if you don't know, it's good if you don't know! I still won't tell you, it's useless to know such a forbidden law, it's just used to harm people, the fewer people in this world know about it, the better, it's better to take it to the grave...... Ugh!"

The man's voice stopped abruptly.

But it was Nan Ming who was impatient with his nagging, and the black giant claw waved at will, cutting him in two simply.

Then the giant claw wriggled black and red blood like a long snake, inserted into the corpse's brain like a straw, and the slight sucking sound sounded, and the corpse's head quickly dried up like a leaky ball, and even the skull melted into the flesh of the giant claw like hot oil.

The madman in the cell next door to Nanming watched this scene in a daze, not even realizing that the movements of his hands had stopped.

When Nan Ming looked back at him, his hand shook suddenly, his gaze became dull, and he continued to carve patterns on the stone wall tremblingly.

There was a hint of amusement in Nan Ming's eyes.

"It's really a humbling acting ......"

He walked to the edge of the cell step by step, watched the ragged man paint on the stone wall through the fence, and suddenly stretched out his huge black claws to erase all the later paintings, and redrew a huge pattern on the stone wall that was taller than a person, "But you didn't draw it right, it should be like this." Look, isn't that pleasing to the eye?"

Deathly silence.

“...... Why don't you say something?"

Giant black claws, the size of half an adult's body, gently caressed the man's neck, rubbing them gently like a small animal, black and red blood wrapped around his face and chest, like the thick hair of a lover.

The mad man's hand hung down silently, and his body stiffened in place, his legs trembling slightly.

In the dead darkness of the cell, he could hear his heart beating wildly, in his chest......

Phew!

A bloodshot pierced the back of the man's head.

In the dark, Nan Ming shook his head helplessly, he was really not suitable for chatting.

The shriveled corpse was thrown to the ground like a burlap sack, and as he sucked the man's memories in a cocoincidental manner, he found what he was looking for.

This "madman" surnamed Guo Yujing, is the half-brother of the current head of the Guo family, and was lured to practice the "Great Wilderness Heart Demon Sutra" when he was young.

Later, the brother who succeeded the head of the family was afraid of his force, and secretly asked the master to abolish his cultivation and imprisoned him in the dungeon.

Unbeknownst to anyone, this madman gradually regained his senses, and pretended to be crazy and foolishly deceived everyone. He was waiting for a chance to escape, but he didn't expect to wait for the indescribable state of Nanming first......

As for the so-called "Great Wilderness Heart Demon Sutra", it turned out to be a forbidden cultivation method.

As we all know, mortals must have qualifications to be able to practice, and this qualification refers to the spiritual center in the body.

The corpse can gather spiritual energy, transform spiritual power, and even evolve all kinds of strange supernatural powers.

Mortals who do not have a spiritual body, the achievements of a lifetime of cultivation can only stop at "refining the body", and they will never be able to cross the threshold of the "spiritual body", not to mention the subsequent "supernatural powers", "holy powers", "too void", "silence" and many other realms, which are all based on the spiritual body.

But I don't know when it began, there began to be some exercises in the world that could be practiced without a spiritual body, and the "Great Wilderness Heart Demon Sutra" was one of them. Many mortals who did not have a corpse took advantage of this to embark on the path of cultivation, and gained a power no less powerful than that of a corpse practitioner.

However, these exercises are problematic, causing the practitioner to become delirious and become crazy, some of them will kill people when they see them, some will look like crazy demons talking to themselves, some will see through the red dust and cut themselves off, and some will be even more men but wearing their daughter's red makeup and looking charming...... Over time, this kind of exercise is regarded as taboo by people, and practicing it will lead to demons.

According to records, none of the practitioners of this type of practice died at the end of their lives, either as a result of natural or man-made disasters, or as a horrible dry corpse in the morning or night when no one was around.

From the description in the memories of these two people, Nan Ming smelled a familiar smell, dried corpses or something, very much like the crime style of those old acquaintance "people" who made him miss and salivate.

His eyes lit up with terrifying excitement.

- Could it be that if you cultivate that "Great Wilderness Heart Demon Sutra", there will be delicious food delivered to your door?

That's wonderful!

Guo Yujing had this exercise in his mind, but he only cultivated to the first layer, and the "Great Wilderness Heart Demon Sutra" had a total of seven layers, and he hadn't read the rest yet.

However, Nanming is not in a hurry, because the "Great Wilderness Heart Demon Sutra" is the most widely circulated among the banned books, and it is no longer a secret in the cultivation world, and there are many channels to obtain it.

Moreover, he also found an interesting thing in his memory - this Guo Yujing and his original deceased father actually knew each other.

When the two were young, they participated in the first examination of the Yunliu Academy together, and they failed together, and they got drunk together in the tavern, and when they woke up, they felt that they were all fallen people at the end of the world, and they became brothers of the opposite sex.

Because they were unwilling to be just a mortal for the rest of their lives, the pair of brothers and sisters managed to get a legendary forbidden exercise book, and began to practice without telling their families, and the result was ......

If you do it, you will die, and the ancients did not deceive me.

Nan Ming remembered that his father in his memory was practicing and went mad and died, and now that he thinks about it, it should be the result of cultivating the "Great Wilderness Heart Demon Sutra".

In this way, he must have this exercise, could it be in his relics?
