Chapter 176: Holy City
In addition to the accident, there was a faint pride in Gu Yunxi's heart.
Although he was not Chang Ling's master, and even her call of 'senior brother' was quite reluctant, he still selfishly classified her as a junior who needed to be protected and cared for by himself, a child who 'grew up with his own eyes'.
The two of them were not far away from the range of energy fluctuations of the self-detonating evil cultivator, Gu Yunxi turned around and said to Chang Ling quite seriously:
"The appearance of the evil cultivator just now, even many demon cultivators have similar methods, the characteristics are generally the convergence of yin qi and demonic qi, sometimes they use special means to make you unable to perceive the change in the breath, but in the process of fighting, the heart can be found. ”
"In the case that the difference in strength between the two of you is not very large, once they retreat a little and show weakness, you have to be careful. Being able to embark on the path of demons or use those evil means to cultivate, their desires and emotions are often on the verge of collapse, and they are more impulsive, irritable, bloodthirsty and cruel than ordinary people. ”
"Don't expect them to be able to spare your hand in battle, or even take the initiative to withdraw and escape, the battle between them and demon cultivators is often endless. ”
Especially when you're alone in the future.
The second half of the sentence was swallowed back by Gu Yunxi, he lowered his head slightly, and looked at Chang Ling fixedly.
He had also come from her age, and the teenage years were a little far away for him.
He only vaguely remembered how unbridled young people of that age were, thinking that with a long sword in their hands, they could break through the continent and uphold justice, they were proud and bright, hot-blooded and belligerent, and refused to admit defeat and bow their heads.
Some people can always have such a pure heart and move forward without hesitation.
But he can't, and Chang Ling can't.
Gu Yunxi didn't know whether to say the next words or not.
Isn't it cruel to let a person learn to admit defeat and learn to retreat.
Chang Ling nodded lightly and said with a smile: "I know, this time I will continue to fight with him because my senior brother is behind me and I am sure in my heart, and the next time I encounter such a situation, I will definitely retreat far away as soon as possible." ”
She had already understood the truth.
Growing up had already quietly burst out in the countless moments of suffering in her life, and before she knew it, she had long been unrecognizable.
Gu Yunxi didn't say anything more, but he was narrow-minded, and Chang Ling's open-mindedness made him breathe a sigh of relief, but also a faint distress.
In fact, he decided to accompany her for a while, in addition to wanting to guide her practice, he just wanted to understand her state of mind and try to enlighten and relieve her.
Those monks who were talking about the injustice of heaven and the injustice of the world and fell into the demon path angrily, a few of them had suffered like Chang Ling.
Such a tragic past.
Behind this pale and thin body, and behind the indifferent and fearless smile, there was such a shocking wound.
Although Chang Ling has good physical fitness, and he has swallowed the genius earth treasure over the years, but the injury that broke the meridians that day still hurt the root after all, no matter how she repaired it, her sleeve slipped to her elbow when she swung the sword, and the scar on her wrist was still faintly visible.
Presumably the same is true of her.
Gu Yunxi was not worried that Chang Ling would fall into the Demon Dao, and even prepared for the worst in her heart, even if she fell into the Demon Dao, it would be understandable.
But Chang Ling is too good, unexpectedly good.
She is shrewd and wise, kind and fearless, and constantly forges ahead on the avenue, not to mention her talent for understanding.
How could he not regret it, how could he not feel guilty.
Even if she is not a true disciple of the Canglan Sword Sect, as an ordinary disciple who has practiced in the mountain gate for some years, she will still bloom with her own brilliance, she will worship a master, enjoy the pouring of sect resources, grow little by little, and become a famous sword cultivator on the Tianxuan Continent.
Maybe they will also become senior brothers and sisters, and they can walk on the smoky mountain of the Canglan Sword Sect and discuss sword moves and avenues.
Instead of running away like a lost dog in this strange and dangerous land, as she is now.
Gu Yunxi hurriedly turned his head away, not letting Chang Ling find out what was wrong.
Chang Ling also felt the concern in Gu Yunxi's pretended cold tone, and involuntarily brought some smiles on his face.
Such a 'carefree' day was really stolen from the heavens.
After carefully studying the distribution of forces and the terrain of Youzhou, Gu Yunxi chose the direction and continued to take Chang Ling deeper.
Most of the time, he stood quietly behind her, watching her rush forward to fight with the demon cultivators, and then the Tongbi long sword slashed a few sword lights in the sky from time to time, sweeping away hidden dangers and aftermath for Chang Ling.
Occasionally, when they met a righteous monk passing by in a hurry, they often lay on the side with a hidden breath, and the two often looked at each other and smiled because of their embarrassment, waiting for them to walk away and leave again.
After walking for a few days, when he stopped lowering interest rates, Gu Yunxi often talked to Chang Ling for one night.
There are the most basic cultivation understandings, as well as the power methods of some sword moves, the basic characteristics of demon cultivation and evil cultivation, and the trivial anecdotes that happened on the mainland.
They could faintly glimpse the starlight through the gray mist that lingered in the sky above the land of Youzhou.
However, as the jade pendant on Gu Yunxi's waist flickered more and more frequently, it was finally time to separate.
In the last days, Chang Ling and Gu Yunxi were unanimously silent.
They eventually arrived at a 'deserted' city, and judging by the shape of the building, it was probably built by mortals many years ago, and it had not been inhabited by mortals for many years.
The demon cultivators who passed by rested in it, and many of them stayed here, but many of the empty houses still took up a lot of them.
At this time, the two of them had already gone deep into the land of Youzhou, as early as a few days ago, Gu Yunxi had done a good job of camouflage with Chang Ling, and his appearance looked like an ordinary Condensing Realm demon cultivator, trying to avoid fighting with others.
For a long time in the future, Chang Ling was afraid that he would have to be so cautious.
After all, it is still the most important cultivation of each other, and the demon cultivators and evil cultivators meet by chance, and they can't help but say that the probability of fighting is still very small, but if they face a righteous monk, it will be completely different.
Even if there is no grudge, good and evil seem to be naturally on the opposite side, the righteous way wants to punish the evil demons and eliminate dissidents, how can the demon cultivators be willing to be named evil demons, saying that they are three thousand, equal and free, but why should some ways be called "evil ways" and "evil ways"?
The magic weapon used by Gu Yunxi to change his aura was a necklace.
Since the falling moon chain was ripped off, Chang Ling hadn't worn the necklace for several years.
The cold touch came from her neck again, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
If she is lucky, maybe she can get a boat back next time she punishes the demons, but if she is unlucky, she doesn't know how much time she will have to spend in this Youzhou land.
After covering up the breath, the practice cannot be as casual and free as before.
She also made an appointment with Luoyue to meet in the Heavenly Mystery Realm......
Chang Ling was quite stunned for a while.
Gu Yunxi also keenly captured Chang Ling's low mood, he looked at the girl in front of him who had reached his shoulder, hesitated for a while, but then stretched out his hand and gently rubbed it on the top of her head.
He said softly: "Xiao Changling, don't be afraid, the next demon punishment operation, senior brother will still come, and I will definitely find a way to bring you back when the time comes." ”
A Condensing Realm monk who stayed in Youzhou, no matter how legendary and unbelievable her deeds were written by the Canglan Sword Sect's bounty order, in the eyes of others, she was no different from a dead person.
And in a world where everyone is trying to survive in a fast-changing world, it is too easy to forget a dead person.
In a few years, Chang Ling, who appeared on the reward order of the Canglan Sword Sect, would be completely forgotten by everyone like Chang Ling, the true disciple of the Canglan Sword Sect who was born before.
Chang Ling smiled at her and decided to come down.
Without the help of the immortal boat, even the spiritual power of the Yuan Infant Realm monk is not enough to support him to cross the Infinite Sea, and there are still some spiritual breath grass in his hands that can slightly alleviate the lack of spiritual power, but if he wants to go back by himself, he must at least have the cultivation of the Jindan Realm.
Although Gu Yunxi's promise was light, Chang Ling could still get a glimpse of the difficulties and dangers behind him, if he was in danger because of himself, it would never be possible.
Gu Yunxi didn't know that the time he spent with Chang Ling in Youzhou was the warmth and light that supported her alone in countless lonely days and nights in the future.
She has suffered too much suffering and pain in her life, but she has also met too many people who are too warm.
Even if they can only accompany her for a while.
Her strength, her sincerity, her courage and perseverance are all made of these little bits of care and love.
She lives for herself and for these people.
............
Gu Yunxi had only heard of this city in rumors before, but it was the first time he had come here.
This city is at the intersection of the spheres of influence of the 'Heavenly Demon Lord' and the 'Nine Yin Evil Maiden', and as the two of them go deeper and deeper, the land under their feet is no longer ownerless.
These two demon cultivators are already powerful in the Yuan Infant Realm, and this city is also in the very center of Youzhou in terms of geographical location.
The reason for the 'desolation' is naturally because the two great powers have not been able to really compete for the ownership of this city for a hundred years, but they have cheapened the rest of the low-level demon cultivators.
In the face of such an ownerless city, you can enter and exit and move in at will without paying any fees, and the two forces are jointly supervising this city, and no one makes trouble.
Over time, a consensus has even been formed not to do anything in this city, which is already a well-known 'holy city' in Youzhou, and there are many demon cultivators who live here, and the city's markets and other facilities are also developing rapidly.
If it weren't for the lack of resources in the land of Youzhou, and the cultivators had to go out often to find 'opportunities' in order to cultivate, the prosperity of this city would probably not be inferior to that of Qingzhou.
It was the first time for Chang Ling to see so many demon cultivators gathered together, walking on the street, they were not as fierce and vicious as in the previous battle, and even because of the gloomy aura one by one, the entire city was surprisingly silent.
After Gu Yunxi used his divine sense to investigate, he transmitted his voice to Chang Ling and said, "There are only four Jindan Realm cultivators, three demon cultivators, and one evil cultivator in this city, who live in the ...... of Dongjie."
After thinking about it, the two of them chose a place that was not very close to the four Jindan Realm monks to settle down, pushed open the door that was already a little rotten, and the two of them were instantly choked by the dust raised and took a few steps back.
I don't know how many years it has been abandoned.
This area is inhabited by an additional number of demonic cultivators.
Although there are no sect families in Youzhou, every Yuanying Realm and even Jindan Realm Demon Cultivator have some of their own forces.
On the surface, those demon cultivators and evil cultivators are all lonely and free, but most of them have high-level demon cultivators who are loyal to them.
Even if those high-level demon cultivators can only occasionally provide them with a few insignificant cultivation resources, they still need to complete all kinds of complicated tasks, and they often do not come forward to provide shelter in times of crisis......
But they still have to choose such an 'adult', people seem to be born with the need for clusters and the psychology of Mu Qiang, just going out to say that I am XX adults will make people feel a lot more confidence out of thin air.
And when I happen to meet someone who is also a 'XX adult', the two will involuntarily get a lot closer.
Therefore, the monks who live here also try their best to choose a place to live closer to their own adults, and Chang Ling's residence is the most 'desolate' part of the entire holy city.
She was also happy to be quiet.
After the two entered the small courtyard, Gu Yunxi briefly cleaned it and quickly began to decorate.
In addition to practicing swordsmanship, he also has a slight knowledge of formations, and he also has some quite good formation flags in his hands.
A few defensive formations are necessary, simple defense is not enough, this change can be used to strangle those who intrude wantonly......
Seeing Gu Yunxi sitting in the middle of the courtyard, his hands constantly waving in mid-air, Chang Ling didn't dare to disturb rashly for a while.
She could only feel the aura of spiritual power around the courtyard getting stronger little by little.
After I don't know how long, Gu Yunxi got up again, stumbling twice before barely stabilizing his figure.
His face was also extremely pale.
Having arranged so many formations also consumed his spiritual power and divine soul power.
However, Chang Ling lived here in the future, and ordinary Jindan Realm monks could not break in.
The communication jade pendant on his waist kept lit up again, and now he had to leave.
Gu Yunxi's consciousness swept away, and he found that Chang Ling was meditating and pranayama in the house, so he simply didn't bother her.
After thinking about it, he took out a lot of things from the storage artifact and gently placed them at Chang Ling's door, turned around neatly, walked two steps, and then folded back.
"Xiao Changling, goodbye. After saying that, his whole person instantly turned into a streamer, and he couldn't see it in the blink of an eye.
