Volume 1, The Black-Hitored Boy. Chapter 23: Guiding the Maze
"Boy, are you confused?"
Turning around, Gu Tianxing saw an old man with gray hair walking towards him.
"Nope. Gu Tianxing didn't want to say much about people he didn't know, not to mention that he was still in a bad mood.
The old man, shaking his head, walked over to him and sat down. "I can tell that your mood is very fluctuating, and your face is wrinkled and sad. ”
"Why did the old man say this?" Gu Tianxing asked.
"Mental power," the old man paused and continued. "Through your eyes, I can see that your mood is not calm. And the eyes are precisely the outward manifestation of mental power. ”
"Psychic power, what's that?"
"Generally speaking, it is your mind, and all people have mental power deep in their brains, and spiritual power can do many things that Yuan Qi can't do. Like, perception. ”
"As far as I know, the vitality can also be perceived. ”
"No, no, no, what the Yuan Qi perceives is only the fluctuation of the Yuan Qi. If a person does not release his martial soul, then he will not be able to perceive it with his vitality alone. And the spiritual power can do this by sensing the flow of air, the temperature of the environment, etc. ”
"You came to me, you won't just talk about this, right?" Gu Tianxing said straight to the point.
"Of course not, the main reason is that your spiritual power attracts me. ”
"Oh?"
"Your mental strength is the best I've ever seen my peers, even surpassing my old man's niece. As far as I know, there are only three ways to improve one's spiritual power: first, to break through the realm, second, to cultivate the treasures of heaven and earth, and third, to experience major setbacks. ”
"Is my spiritual power very strong?" Gu Tianxing asked in disbelief.
"That's right, if the mental power of an ordinary twelve-year-old boy is ten, then your mental power has reached forty. ”
Gu Tianxing shook his head. "But that's not enough for the seniors to put down their identities and come to me, right?"
"The kid doesn't know that another role of spiritual power is alchemy. And the old man is precisely an alchemist. ”
"What!" Gu Tianxing stood up in surprise. "The senior turned out to be an alchemist?"
"It seems that you also understand the preciousness of alchemists. ”
The old man stood up and folded his hands behind his back. "I didn't expect to come out tonight and only meet such a good seedling. The old man was only a mortal at this age, and this kid's future is limitless!" he thought silently in his heart.
"Your spiritual power has reached the spirit realm, which has exceeded the threshold of a human-level alchemist. If he is destined to awaken the fire energy in the future, he can come to the old man, and I believe that you can carry forward the alchemist. ”
"Spiritual realm, is there still a realm of spiritual power?"
"Yes, spiritual power is divided into four realms: mortal, spiritual, illusory, and heavenly, and each realm is an unbridgeable chasm. And it was only tonight that you broke through to the spiritual realm, and it was precisely because I sensed the change that I happened to find you. ”
"I see. Gu Tianxing nodded silently, "The kid's name is Gu Tianxing, thank you seniors for your doubts tonight." Dare to ask the seniors?"
"Old man Sun Long. ”
"Dan King Sun Long?!" Gu Tianxing exclaimed. No wonder I saw this person familiar, it turned out to be the old gentleman at the auction two years ago.
"Exactly. Sun Long slowly left with his hands behind his back. "He's destined to see you again. ”
Is there a fate for the encounter between me and Murong Ningxue? Thinking of this, Gu Tianxing hurriedly shouted. "Senior, please wait a minute. Gu Tianxing trotted after him. Hearing this, Sun Long stopped.
"Dare to ask your predecessors, can anyone who is destined to meet in this world?"
"Not all the people I meet are destined for you. ”
"What does this mean?" Gu Tianxing asked.
"There are two reasons for meeting, one is fate, and the other is calamity. In this world, there is destiny and there is a catastrophe, although most of the time, the two will appear in one person at the same time, that person is not only your destiny, but also your inevitable catastrophe in this life. Looking up to the sky and sighing, Sun Long disappeared in front of Gu Tianxing's eyes.
Hearing this, Gu Tianxing's mouth suddenly opened. Looking at the empty shadow in front of him, Gu Tianxing bowed deeply.
Murong Ningxue's figure faintly appeared in Gu Tianxing's mind. He couldn't understand why someone who had only known each other for three days would have carved such a deep mark on his heart. That night, the people who cried in the rain would stir their hearts every time.
Clenching his fists, Gu Tianxing made a decision. Whether our encounter is fate or disaster, it is a matter for the two of us, and I will not let anyone else interfere. Big brother, forgive me for disobeying your will for the first time.
Thinking of this, Gu Tianxing was no longer confused, and the spiritual realm that had just broken through also tended to be stable. With a smile, Gu Tianxing ran on the way home.
......
"Send a messenger eagle, the fastest. Inform the Murong family in the imperial capital, and say that the daughter of their head Murong Wentian is temporarily living in my Gu family. Gu Tianyang returned to the General's Mansion and ordered his men.
"Understood. ”
The herald had just been gone for a short time. Knock knock.
"Enter. Gu Tianyang said.
The gates of the General's Mansion opened. "Father, why are you here?"
The person who came was Gu An.
"Is that girl really from the Murong family?"
"You can't be wrong. Three years ago, when I accepted my position in Xuanling City, Murong Wentian, the head of the Murong family, took his daughter to watch. At that time, we had a few drinks. ”
"Is there someone who is dealing with the Murong family this time?"
"The same masked man, the same bounty hunter. I felt a lot like the one I had six years ago. ”
"Those four are also bounty hunters?"
"It should be true, according to Xiao Tian, the four of them are all sword-wielding men, one gold, two winds, and one fire. No, this is the information I found, and the army's intelligence network is still as good as ever. ”
"Four swords? Do you suspect that they had something to do with the incident between the two brothers?"
Gu Tianyang shook his head. "It's not a doubt, it's just a feeling of mine. ”
"Your senses have always been accurate. ”
"I hope it's not so accurate this time, after all, the scope involved is too big, and this is the rhythm that will change the sky. Gu Tianyang sighed deeply.
"Rest assured, it's man-made. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain. It's not your character to worry about the sky. Gu An said with a smile. "By the way, Xiaotian chased you out, and you haven't come back yet. Is that why you kept him out of contact with that girl?"
"At that time, I didn't know that this was the Four Swords, and I also thought about keeping him away from some disputes, after all, the Murong family was too big for him. The inside story of the big family, you also know. ”
"Also, I'm worried that this kid won't be able to think about it, so go back and comfort him. ”
"Go home. Gu Tianyang sorted out the documents on the table and said to his father.
"Yes. ”
......
Gu Jia, Murong Ningxue was lying on the bed, her two calves swaying rhythmically. Said to the girl in front of him. "Sister Yue'er, tell me the story of your brother. ”
"My brother, which brother?"
"Gu Tianxing. ”
"Okay......"
