Chapter 286: True Form Realm (5)
As soon as he walked into the courtyard gate, Gu Qing's eyes darkened.
The rain all around seemed to disappear, and all that was left was a dead silence, a dim world without any sound.
Outside the courtyard gate behind him, there is a desolate ancient road, which winds and turns to the sparse dense forest in the distance.
If you stand in the courtyard, through the courtyard gate or over the courtyard wall, you will often see everything as if there is a layer of hazy light, and you can't see clearly.
The original appearance of the yard full of fallen leaves has also changed a lot, the ground paved with blue-gray stone bricks has been cleaned very cleanly, and a few trees that have been dead for an unknown number of years when they looked outside the yard have also become luxuriant, and the dense leaves of the trees have been dark green to the point of emitting a trace of black smoke.
'Is it a demon that silently affects the senses......
Gu Qing's eyes flashed slightly.
He walked into the courtyard.
One-step...... Two-step ......
Stepping on the flat blue-gray stone bricks, Gu Qing's feet were a little weak, his body seemed to be constantly changing, sometimes his feet and legs were expanding like balls, sometimes his head was shrinking like a needle, and every time he took a step forward, he could see several layers stacked in front of him.
Some scenes are a thick layer of fallen leaves, some scenes are a pool of sticky blood, and some scenes are stacked stumps and broken arms, and the corpses of men, women, and children who are not blind.
But no matter how miserable the scene was, stacked on top of each other in a strange state, Gu Qing's gaze was always calm, what if he let him go to the real corpse mountain and sea of blood? What about letting him sink into a bottomless pool of blood? He still didn't frown, or even half a thought.
What is the difference between the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, the white bones like a mountain, and the breeze and the moon, the mountains and wild cattle and sheep? It is not the same thing, and the situation changes with your heart.
Gu Qing's heart did not waver, the more he walked, the more he walked, he walked forward about twenty-three or four steps, a strange feeling of reversal, without any warning, appeared so abruptly in the bottom of his heart.
Right in this moment.
The heavens above seem to have become the earth, and the earth below has become the heavens.
His body did not leave the place, but it was already hanging upside down on the sky dome, and there was no way to borrow from the surroundings, and at this moment, a large amount of black gas evaporated from the courtyard below, and in an instant, it had condensed into a huge hideous black ghost, and he was hanging in the sky, swallowing it in one gulp!
Roar!
A loud sound like a roar of gale wind came out of the mouth of this hideous huge black ghost, and the entire courtyard was pulled by this black ghost, shattered and soared into the air, heading straight for Gu Qing's hanging figure!
The fishy wind blows in the face, this huge black ghost, a pair of blood-red eyes the size of a lantern, which is full of tyranny, and in that bloody mouth, there are rows of white colors up and down, and sharp teeth with small bloodshot teeth, which makes people look at it coldly.
In just an instant, this black ghost figure rose into the sky, with a strong might, gnawed on Gu Qing's body, and distorted Gu Qing's body with great force, actually tearing his body in half!
The pain was like a tidal wave, about to drown him.
"Carving insect skills, also come to the class to get an axe."
Gu Qing's upper body, on the cheeks like the bark of a dead tree that quickly lost its blood, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he sneered in his mouth.
Before the words fell, Gu Qing's upper body rotated out of thin air.
On the palm of his hand that was still bleeding blood, the Flowing Flame True Talisman suddenly lit up, and a flaming fiery snake emerged, which he threw away in mid-air, and swept past the black ghost.
The crimson fiery serpent was like a whip, and wherever it passed, the black ghost shadow was all pulled away and turned into black gas.
The black ghost shadow relied on its huge body, and did not dodge the burning fire snake, and the blood basin mouth sucked inside, and was about to swallow Gu Qing's upper self into it, but Gu Qing did not have any response to this, but just pulled the fire snake out violently towards the place behind him.
Syllable!
The fire snake landed in the air, making a crisp sound of air crackling, and then everything around it was like an ink painting, infected into the clear water, melting, and the black ghost that gnawed off half of Gu Qing's body was even more invisible, and Gu Qing was still standing in the courtyard.
His face was cold, and he looked in front of him, and the fire snake in his hand gradually dispersed.
It was a black shadow that could not be seen, only three or four feet high, like a dwarf in a black robe, and at this time the dwarf ghost was flying upside down, and there were traces of fire snake bites on its body, like a red-hot iron whip, hitting the dwarf ghost's chest and abdomen, tearing off a piece of flesh and leaving a red whip mark.
"Woo......"
The dwarf ghost shadow emitted the extremely suppressed ghost crying sound, this voice was like a cry, which made Gu Qing, who heard this voice, feel sad when he didn't hear it, and even added a touch of despair.
His body was overwhelmed by something heavy, his shoulders were overwhelmed, and there was a cracking sound, and his knees were bent, and he had the illusion that he was about to kneel, but he only smiled a little mockingly, looking at the dwarf ghost who had fallen to the ground.
"Are you the only means you have? It's useless to let you use all kinds of illusions, Poor Dao is standing here today, let you kill. ”
"I conjured up that huge ghost before, is it also because your body is small? Let Poor Dao guess if you were three feet tall or four feet tall before you died? Gu Qing's tone was contemptuous.
The dwarf ghost who fell to the ground, a pair of bloody eyes widened.
It screamed and roared, and suddenly everything around it darkened - this was real darkness, there was no light, Gu Qing's eyes were pitch black, and nothing could be seen again.
Gu Qing was not in a hurry, one hand was in the air, and the other hand was fluttering towards him, pressing out in a certain direction.
Raging......!
A fire snake broke away from Gu Qing's bloody palm.
The bright crimson fire snake swept through the air, lit up the pitch black around it, and steamed out a trace of black gas in the air, like an unpredictable prophet, and sent the dwarf ghost who had just appeared behind him, fangs and claws, and was about to pounce on him.
The blazing flames enveloped the dwarf ghost, distorting and deforming the dwarf ghost, and the surrounding darkness was twisted like a curtain, as if it would be lifted at any time.
Rumble!
The dwarf ghost suddenly exploded at this time, turning into a trace of black qi overflowing, scattering the fire snake sent out by Gu Qing.
These black qi circulated rapidly all around, condensed out behind Gu Qing again, and turned into a terrifying ghost claw with distinct scales and armor, falling towards Gu Qing's back heart, Gu Qing's figure suddenly shortened, and he moved out a few zhang yuan, and at the same time, the Flowing Flame True Talisman that he had just volleyed out of the air was triggered at this time!
Rumble!
This time, Gu Qing did not turn the Flowing Flame True Talisman into a fire snake, but made it directly turn into a ball of flame, crashed into the ghost claw, and directly scattered the ghost claw, causing it to turn into black gas and disperse again!
As the ghost's claws burst open, they turned into black gas.
The pitch black surrounding like a curtain was immediately torn apart, and the dilapidated courtyard shrouded in a drizzle appeared in front of Gu Qing, and wisps of black qi were detaching from everything in this courtyard very quickly, and converged towards the houses in the dilapidated courtyard, a certain house.
"Heh, let me guess...... Where is your real body in that room? Are you going to fight to the death? Naive. Gu Qing's voice sounded, and at the first moment of this voice, he put his palms together, and suddenly one of the bloody palms imprinted a Flowing Flame True Talisman on the other palm, although it was a little deformed......
Swish!
Gu Qing's old figure immediately rushed forward, heading straight for the place where the black qi gathered, and after a few steps, he opened his palms, and a thick fire snake flew out of his palm, and swept a few zhang away with a pop, leaving a deep scorched black ravine on the ground.
The thick fire snake enveloped and burned all the traces of black qi, and then crashed into the room with a bang!
Most of this room suddenly melted, and in the bright magma made of masonry, a short black corpse appeared in front of Gu Qing's eyes, this corpse was suspended in mid-air, the black skull, and a pair of empty eye sockets, as if flickering with resentful ghost fire.
Burst!
In the next moment, the corpse was hit head-on by the thick fire snake, and quickly dissolved, and the miserable cry resounded sharply all around, causing the hearts of the people in the vicinity, no matter what they were doing, to be terrified.
After a while, the dwarf black bones were burned into wisps of green smoke, and the thick fire snake gradually disappeared, leaving only a little black bone meal in the air, accompanied by steaming water vapor.
Half of the magma, steaming and falling drizzle, and a mixture of hot and cold wind, blew Gu Qing's clothes.
A few dead trees in the courtyard, branches swaying.
Gu Qing suddenly felt something, turned his head, and looked at the burned down wall in front of the side, the magma that had melted into the wall flowed in all directions, burning through the bricks and stones on the ground, revealing the huge corpse pit below, only to see that in the huge corpse pit, there were many bones glued together.
These bones that are glued together, some new and some old, the new ones are still flowing with corpse water, and the old ones are almost rotten to slag.
In the exposed corpse pit, the piles of bones spread in all directions, and it seems that only a small part of the bones can be seen.
"Isn't there a corpse buried in every inch of this courtyard? How can you live here......" Gu Qing sighed secretly.
It doesn't matter if he lives in this kind of place, but it's just a little inappropriate for two little dolls to live in this kind of place......
Gu Qing turned around and walked towards the courtyard outside.
The main reason why he will take over this time and solve the matter of the evil ghosts in this courtyard is that he thinks that with his current strength, he should be cautious, and there is no problem in killing the evil ghosts in this courtyard.
After all, He Caiyun had tried this before, and although he was unsuccessful, he also managed to retreat with his whole body, which shows that the evil ghosts in this courtyard have some means, but they should not be considered very powerful.
As for why he chose to kill this evil ghost on a day when the sun was thick and there was no sunlight, Gu Qing also considered it.
For one, the room in the restaurant is up.
The other is to suppress the evil ghosts whose strength has increased on a rainy day, which will make him appear more 'powerful' and more unfathomable, which will help to increase the weight in the hearts of He Caiyunxin and other cultivators in Heyang City, and then gain stronger influence.
In other words, the so-called 'high-profile'.
In the world of Dingzhong, Gu Qing's principles of doing things have naturally changed, and there are trade-offs, and many times, he must take more risks in order to gain a greater 'name' to enhance his influence.
Only if he exerts enough influence on the world of Dingzhong will he further gain the ability to break away from the world of Dingzhong.
……
When Gu Qing walked out of the courtyard, he met He Caiyun, who was dressed in a black suit, with a somewhat solemn gaze.
"The evil spirit has been removed, but fortunately it will not be dishonored." Gu Qing picked up the oil-paper umbrella by the door, knocked on the threshold a few times, and then stretched the umbrella open, holding the oil-paper umbrella in one hand, the old furrow cheeks, with a slight smile, said to He Caiyun.
He was tall and thin, dressed in a dark blue robe, not stained with dust, and hunted and agitated in the wind, as if he wanted to ride the wind.
When he spoke to He Caiyun, Gu Qing pulled Gu Xing, who was spreading reverence, and Gu Yue, who seemed to realize what his master had done, had a pair of big black eyes and sparkling eyes.
By the way, with a calm gaze, he glanced at a group of sergeants not far away, and the carriage guarded by this team of sergeants, as well as several young men and women dressed similarly to He Caiyun around the carriage.
He Caiyun took two steps, swept over the threshold, and landed in the courtyard, looking at the collapsed house where the magma flowed, her pupils shrank, and she said: "The Taoist chief is compassionate and compassionate, for my Heyang City to remove this great harm, Caiyun is really grateful, thank you here." ”
"What I promised to the Taoist ...... before"
When He Caiyun said this, he was interrupted by Gu Qing.
Gu Qing's old face smiled, coughed lightly, and said, "Cough, Pavilion Master, this courtyard is too big, and I am not used to living in the poor road, so it is better to change to a smaller one...... It would be good if it was not converted into money. ”
Hearing this, He Caiyun looked back at Gu Qing, then turned his head again, his eyes fell on the location of the burned house, and he also saw the underground corpse pit.
"Since the Taoist Master has spoken, how can I refuse? When I arrived before, the wealthy families in the city gave several houses, and the one in the east of the city was given to the Taoist chief. He Caiyun's eyes flashed slightly, he walked out of the courtyard, handed over a key to Gu Qing, and beckoned to the team of sergeants in the distance, and several young men and women.
A group of heavily armed sergeants approached with a heavy carriage full of gunpowder, and several young men and women who came with this group of sergeants turned over and dismounted one after another, and came to He Caiyun's side.
"Curator."
"Owner's ......"
Several young men and women hugged He Caiyun.
"This is Gu Qing Gu Dao who traveled to my Dingzhou." He Caiyun briefly introduced Gu Qing's identity to several young men and women, and the sergeant, and then said, "The evil ghost in the courtyard that killed the living beings has been eliminated by Gu Daochang, and we only need to do something to deal with the aftermath." ”
Suddenly, the eyes of several young men and women, as well as the eyes of the sergeants, were all focused on Gu Qing.
Gu Qing didn't show anything, his old face sketched and chuckled, and he just nodded at the gaze that everyone gathered.
Gu Xing beside him, maybe he was nervous, maybe he was honored, in short, he stood up straight, his face was solemn, and the little girl Gu Yue was also the same, raising a cute little face slightly.
"Others, follow me into this courtyard to clean up the corpses." He Caiyun didn't say too much, and ordered straightforwardly.
After giving the order, she said to a woman who looked to be about twenty years old and had a strange face when she heard the words 'clean up the corpses': "Xiaoqi, you take this Taoist chief to the mansion in the east of my city, and I have given that mansion to this Taoist chief." ”
"Yes." The young woman known as Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Gu Qing, an old man, with more kindness.
……
The clouds of the sky gradually dispersed.
The two rounds of glorious sunshine tore away the dark clouds and sprinkled the red sunlight like blood, illuminating Heyang City as bright as new after the rain.
Ha Duong City, the muddy main road.
An old Taoist priest with a wrinkled face like a tree, with two little Taoist priests, followed behind a young woman in black, walked briskly, and a group of four people stepped on the endless puddles, their trouser legs were wet, and after a few turns, they came to the east of the city.
In the east of Heyang City, in front of a house.
The footsteps of the woman in black stopped, turned around, and looked at the old Taoist: "Daoist Gu, this is the mansion that the hall owner said." ”
Xiao Qi looked at the old Taoist priest with some curiosity.
Taoist priests in Dingzhou are not common.
More common are the great monks.
There are many temples built by great monks in Dingzhou.
After all, although Dingzhou is big, there is no big force without Taoism, one of the two big forces is Baijian Mountain, and the other is Bodhi Temple - their owner He Caiyun is a disciple of Bodhi Temple, and the true form of refining the Tao method is the 'Lotus True Form Diagram' of Bodhi Temple.
"Okay, thank you for this little Qi girl."
Gu Qing smiled and said to the woman in black.
After the woman in black left, Gu Qing withdrew his gaze from her back and took out the key He Caiyun gave him.
"Let's go, this is our new home."
Gu Qing lowered his head and winked at the two little dolls, then walked a few steps, came to the courtyard gate, opened the somewhat rusty lock of the courtyard door, pushed the door in, and walked into the courtyard with the two little dolls.
The courtyard was also desolate and overgrown with weeds.
On one side of the courtyard, there are three stout trees with round and flat leaves planted in the shape of a pin, and a well is next to these three trees, and the wellhead is erected, and the wheels used to scoop water are mottled and old, and they are covered with moss, and several wild cats poke their heads out of the grass by the well, and their eyes are full of vigilance.
"Wow! Cats! When Gu Yue saw the kitten, she immediately became excited, and rushed over to a few wild cats.
Several wild cats were so frightened that they roared again and again, and three or four ran away on the spot, leaving only one tricolored wild cat with its ears shrunk and did not run away.
Gu Qing grabbed Gu Yue and stuffed her to Gu Xing, and with a shake of her figure, she flew out like a wind, and just after the three-colored wild cat also realized that something was wrong and wanted to run away, it was already too late.
As soon as the three-colored wild cat was about to jump, it plunged into Gu Qing's arms intercepted in mid-air, and Gu Qing pinched the back of the neck with his hand, and hung in the air with a tense body, meowing.
"If you don't run, you're related to the old way." Gu Qingti slipped around the three-colored wild cat, took a few looks, and did not see any difference from the cats he had seen in the Hanhai and Yunmiao Continents.
"Master is so powerful...... Gu Yue, the little girl who was pulled by Gu Xing, looked at her master with sparkling eyes, and then looked at the three-colored wild cat.
"Xiao Yue'er, did you remember the acupuncture points before? Do you recognize all the words that you remembered? Gu Qing asked with a blank face.
As he spoke, Gu Qing put down the three-color flower cat that was pinching the back of the neck, and let it run up to the roof and run away.
Gu Yue was tamed by this, and immediately lowered her little head: "Master...... Tiger...... Those words all look the same......"
"Nonsense! How can any word look the same? Gu Qing's face darkened a little, his gaze turned to Gu Xing, and said, "Gu Xing, you take good care of your junior sister, this month, if you can let her memorize the position of a hundred acupuncture points, she will pass on the method of cultivation to her teacher." ”
Gu Xing was originally glanced at by Gu Qing, and his heart was also tense.
He thought quickly.
Was it his secret hiding of money that was discovered by the master?
Or did he covet the ambition of the Taoist Meditation Lord, which gave Master insight?
And when he heard Gu Qing say that he would pass on the 'method of cultivation' to him, he immediately cleared the haze in his heart, his face was overjoyed, he cheered up, patted his chest and promised: "Master, just take a look, the disciple must ask the junior sister to write down the location of a hundred acupuncture points!" ”
"Woo woo woo ......" the little girl Gu Yue was a little sad.
She didn't understand how the master and brother who loved her in the past had become so bad, and she had to be allowed to do those painful things.
She would rather be hungry for three days without eating than to memorize the position of those acupuncture points! Belch...... One day...... Don't eat a meal!
