Chapter 56: The Unity of Knowledge and Action

Gu Xu glanced at the young man with some surprise, but he didn't expect that among this group of yellow-skinned villagers, there was actually a cultivator hidden - but the young man's true yuan aura was relatively weak, and it seemed that he had just stepped into the first realm.

After catching the baby, the swarthy boy turned to the people around him and asked for help: "Aunts and uncles, can you please help bring my mother home?" ”

His voice trembled slightly. Although he tried to stay calm, his face inevitably showed mixed emotions such as sadness, indignation, and unacceptability, and tears glistened in his eyes.

"I'll help you," Gu Xu said, "You show me the way." ”

At the same time, he urged Zhenyuan to cast a spell, and the middle-aged woman who was unconscious on the ground slowly floated into the air.

Gu Xu had read the cheats and notes left by the Kongxuansan people, and although he had not yet mastered the profound and strange method of "tracing the cause", he already had a certain understanding of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect and knew its basic principles.

He was vaguely aware that there seemed to be some causal connection between himself and the swarthy boy—and with some doubts, he considered taking the opportunity to learn more about the situation.

The swarthy boy glanced at him, nodded, and stopped talking.

After that, Gu Xu followed the young man through the narrow alleyway between the houses and came to the door of a low and simple house.

The house was made of tile, grass, and stone, and the roof was exposed to the sky, and the walls were cracked, and although the largest cracks had been plugged with thatch, it was still inevitable that rainwater would seep in on rainy days, making it dark and damp, and the air was mixed with a musty smell.

The furnishings in the house are also very simple, with only a dilapidated stove and a few creaking wooden beds.

Gu Xu carefully put the unconscious middle-aged woman on a bed, and the swarthy boy also put his newborn brother next to his mother.

A moment later, the two thin men also came to the house, put the body of the young father's body on the ground at random, and left in a hurry, not daring to delay for a moment.

"You said, you're not from the Medicine King Sect," after a short silence, the swarthy young man looked up at Gu Xu and said, "What should I call you?" ”

Gu Xu thought for a while and replied, "The contemptible person's surname is Xiao, and his name is longevity." ”

"Mr. Xiao." The swarthy boy bowed slightly and arched his hand at him. His well-mannered appearance did not look like an ordinary boy who grew up savagely in a poor village.

"And what's your name?"

"My name is Hong Tieniu," the young man replied with his head bowed, "but Elder Wu felt that my name was too rustic, so he gave me another name, 'Xiao Gong'. ”

"Elder Wu? Is he a cultivator of the Medicine King Sect? ”

"Yes, Mr. Shaw. Two years ago, when he saw that I had some talent for cultivation, he took me under his disciple and made me a registered disciple. I usually do farm work at home, and when he needs it, I go to the sect to assist him in alchemy, take the pills he has refined with new recipes, and occasionally teach me a few exercises and mantras. ”

Hearing his narration, Gu Xu couldn't help but silently complain in his heart: Where is this named disciple? This is clearly a drug test boy and a humanoid guinea pig.

"The pill refined from the new formula may have a certain toxicity," Gu Xu asked with a serious face, "Do you know this?" ”

The boy replied, "I know." But after all, Elder Wu is my master and a third-realm cultivator, so I can't refuse any of his requests. ”

Gu Xu pondered for a moment, sighed, and asked again: "Is he the one who killed your father?" ”

The boy nodded.

"Do you hate him in your heart?"

The boy nodded again.

"I wanted him to die for a long time," he clenched his fists, raised his tone slightly, and looked extremely indignant, "Last year, he wanted to refine a furnace of life-prolonging pills, and he wanted to use the blood and bone marrow of virgins and boys, and the dog baby and the second girl in our village became his alchemy materials.

"A few months ago, he asked me to try to take an unknown pill, and after swallowing it in my stomach, I was full of cramps, and I couldn't stop pumping, and I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't live or die, and it took a few days to recover. But he ignored me, took care of his own business, and didn't care if I was dead or alive.

“……”

It seemed that Gu Xu's question aroused the young man's desire to talk, and he talked endlessly for a long time, describing the crimes of Elder Wu of the Medicine King Sect and the other cultivators in the sect one by one.

His words outlined in Gu Xu's mind a violent and unbridled sect that rode on the heads of the people, treating all living beings as livestock to be slaughtered.

"The strongest monk in the Medicine King Sect, what kind of cultivation is it?" After the young man finished speaking, Gu Xu continued to ask.

"It's the head of the sect, Peng Baohui," the young man said, "he just stepped into the fifth realm a month ago. ”

"Just entered the fifth realm......

This kind of cultivation, looking at the entire Great Qi Dynasty, may not be ranked among the strong at all. However, in the remote province of Nanzhao, it is enough to be domineering and powerful.

"Where is the Medicine King Sect? I'd like to go over and see. ”

"On the opposite hill, you can see it by walking seven or eight miles along the same road from which you came, and I can show you the way if you need to," said the boy, "but do you really intend to go there?" The Medicine King Sect has always forbidden outsiders to enter—not only has it set up several large formations to protect the sect, but also cultivators take turns patrolling it.

"Even every time I enter the sect, I must hold the token given to me by Elder Wu. If you—"

"-You don't need to worry about that, I have my own way."

As Gu Xu spoke, he cast the "Meteor Walking Moon", and in an instant, his figure disappeared in place, and then appeared on the other side of the house.

For Gu Xu, this is just a simple footwork, and it is not a powerful method.

But falling into the eyes of the swarthy young man Hong Tieniu was enough to make him dumbfounded—after all, among the elders of the Medicine King Sect, there were few people who could master this kind of ghost-like inscrutable body technique.

Then Gu Xu appeared behind the young man out of thin air, put a hand on the young man's shoulder, and smiled faintly: "Let's go!" If everything you say is true, maybe I can get justice for you. ”

As soon as the words fell, he used the authority of "Qiankun" to lead the young man through the spatial crack and disappear into this simple bungalow.

With the gradual growth of cultivation, the comprehension of the law of fire, and the ups and downs of his own fate, although Gu Xu only has the fourth realm cultivation, he has gradually groped for the direction of the future avenue.

It's about subversion, it's about change, it's about creating.

According to the description in the practice texts, if you want to open the "Xudu Gate" and create your own Dharma, you not only need to comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao in your heart, but also need to practice your own "Dao" in actual actions.

In the original world, Gu Xu, as a wanted criminal, faced the pursuit of the imperial court, and his movements were restricted everywhere. In this situation of walking on thin ice, he must be cautious and not dare to make too out-of-the-ordinary moves.

But now, he has become a futuristic man who travels back in time and space.

As soon as the time comes, he will automatically leave this era, and no one can find any trace of him.

Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to try to do something that "unity of knowledge and action".

Since he is destined to break the cage built by the Great Wilderness, which is built by the "Taishang Haotian", he will start with this Medicine King Sect who enslaves the people and regards human life as a mustard.
