Chapter 16: Coming
In late autumn, the drizzle is light.
The hanging flower trees swayed with the wind out of golden flowers, and the breeze blew, carrying a wisp of fragrance to the mountains.
In the Qingyun Temple, many Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes were busy with joy while immersed in the fragrance of flowers.
"Feather Festival is coming again."
Gan Shiyi, who was standing at the table, put down the brush in his hand and slowly walked to the small courtyard.
"Well, it's coming again."
The patriarch who was lying on a chaise longue muttered softly with his eyes closed, and then gradually fell asleep again.
It's just that a year has passed, and the old man has become older and older.
When I first lived with Gan Shiyi, I often talked with him, but after instructing Gan Shiyi's swordsmanship, the whole person's spirit became more and more bad, and now, the whole person is also lazy and lazy, extremely sleepy.
And Gan Shiyi, who has lived here for a year, has also become more and more stable and kind, although he is still a young man, but the long hair, simple robes, and the simple deep meaning in his eyes will always make people forget his youthful appearance.
During this year, when Gan Shiyi arrived early, he went to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise and practice.
Then he held the sword and realized the Tao, and every time he had a deeper understanding of the Tao, he would hammer and forge it again.
To this day, although 'Chengdao' has not yet taken the form of a sword, it has changed from a thick, short, and ugly iron rod to a thick and short iron rod.
In the afternoon, Gan Shiyi would go to the study to practice calligraphy.
After a year of tempering, although he has not yet achieved phased results, with the combing of the Dao, it is also the result that will help remove the word 'ugly' on the Chengdao sword.
And in the evening, Gan Shiyi will look through the various books in the study and comprehend the various ways of the world.
In this year, if there is anything lacking, it is Gan Shiyi's cultivation.
Since that promotion to the third layer of qi training, although Gan Shiyi has cultivated diligently every day, he is still a little short of the fourth layer of qi training.
This is still with the help of the talent blessing of 'Indomitable', which is a cultivation speed of +7%.
It is really not an ordinary difficulty for a casual cultivator who has no resources to embark on the path of cultivating the truth.
And now, the Feather Festival is approaching, and Gan Shiyi remembers another thing.
He had promised the Wu family father and son a year ago that he would find a suitable method for Wu Yong to get started in a year, but now it is not far from that year's appointment, but he has not found it yet.
Moreover, Gan Shiyi also realized that he still had to find a way to find some immortal cultivation resources, such as the spirit stones in the immortal cultivation realm.
This spirit stone can not only be used to help with cultivation, but also can be exchanged for various spiritual objects and spells.
If you can exchange the spirit stones for the spells needed for the three rune seals, and prepare some talisman materials, maybe you can earn spirit stones through talisman making.
It's just that Gan Shiyi has nothing now, how can he find the method of entry that the Wu family's father and son want? And how to find the spirit stone?
Just when Gan Shiyi was full of sorrow, two figures suddenly appeared at the gate of the small courtyard.
"Gan Daoyou."
Hearing this call, Gan Shiyi hurriedly turned his head to look.
I saw that at the entrance of the small courtyard, there was a couple waiting for him with joy on their faces.
"Chang Daoyou, Lu Daoyou, why are you here?"
This couple is called Taoist friends, and naturally they are also cultivators.
And the two of them are a pair of casual cultivators who live in Qingcheng Mountain, and the three of them can get acquainted with each other, also because Gan Shiyi will go to the top of the mountain to practice every day, and it is inevitable that they will meet a few times in the mountain.
With the warm-heartedness of this couple, after a few chance encounters, the three of them inevitably became acquainted.
According to what Chang Daoyou said, if the days of casual cultivation are hard, you must get to know more people, so that there will be a time to help each other.
Gan Shiyi walked closer and asked with a smile: "It's rare for two Taoist friends to come to the door to find it, but what is the happy event?" ”
Chang Daoyou glanced at his Taoist companion with a smile, and then said: "Now that the Feather Festival is approaching, my husband and I happened to find a demon beast in a mountain a few days ago, so I plan to invite Gan Daoyou to go demon hunting together, so that I can get more spirit stones during the Feather Festival." ”
"Oh?"
Hearing the information of the demon beast, Gan Shiyi was inevitably slightly surprised, it was really because although he knew that there were demon beasts in the world, he had never encountered them.
After all, demon beasts are almost full of treasures to monks, and each demon beast can be exchanged for a batch of good spirit stones.
Whenever there is a demon beast in the world, it can immediately attract the attention of a large number of monks.
Especially after a hard day of casual cultivation, as long as he heard the news that there was a demon beast there, he immediately rushed there like a swarm of bees.
But the demon beast is extraordinary, not only the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, but also extremely fierce, there are often monks who fail to hunt demons, but die in the mouth of the demon.
Therefore, if a monk discovers the traces of a demon beast, he usually calls for friends, finds a helping hand first, and then goes with him.
Although some of the proceeds will be taken away in this way, it is better to be safe.
It just so happened that Chang Daoyou and his wife found the demon beast before the Feather Festival, and if they could hunt the demon smoothly, they could exchange it for a batch of spirit stones during the Feather Festival.
And if Gan Shiyi can participate, he will be able to share some spirit stones from it.
In this way, maybe you can exchange spirit stones for entry methods, and then exchange spirit stones for spells and talisman materials, and then earn spirit stones through talisman making, as Gan Shiyi thought before.
It's just that after Gan Shiyi pondered for a while, he looked at Chang Lu and his wife, shook his head and refused: "I am very happy that you can come to inform me about this matter."
But I'm too weak to help, so you'd better find another friend. ”
After hearing this, Chang Lu and his wife were slightly stunned, but they still nodded as usual and said, "In this case, then we will leave first." ”
After Gan Shiyi saw the two leave, he turned around and walked to the study.
"If you have such an opportunity, why not go?"
Patriarch Dao woke up at some point, and looked at it with squinted eyes.
Gan Shiyi shook his head calmly and said, "I don't want to go demon hunting with this bit of strength, I can't beat any casual cultivator, so it's better to cultivate with peace of mind." ”
"Hehe..."
The patriarch let out a chuckle and quietly looked at the sun that reflected countless sunsets on the horizon.
Gan Shiyi also looked up a few times, then turned back to the study and picked up a brush.
In this year's time, although he was unable to make a real rune seal, he would still study the contents of the Huang family's rune seal several times in his spare time.
And this study surprised Gan Shiyi.
Because the content of the Huang family's talisman seal is completely like the drawing techniques of the cultivators, and the drawing techniques in it are basically related to the use of the Tao.
Remembering that when he traded with Huang Qiurong a year ago, he thought that Huang Qiurong would not trade with him after Huang Qiurong learned that his method of initiation was the method of cultivating truth.
But who knows, after Huang Qiurong found out, he insisted on trading with him.
I'm afraid the real reason lies in that jade slip.
