Chapter 399: The Willows Are Bright
The ancient family, the famous family within a radius of thousands of miles, is rumored to be traced back to the ancestors of the ancient family, and can be traced back to before the founding of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the clan is everywhere, like the era of bright stars, more than a thousand years ago.
More than a thousand years of ups and downs, the ancient family from a clan in the plains, lonely to today's situation, I don't know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate?
Perhaps, compared to more clans that were destroyed in the opening battle of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, they were extremely lucky. At least until now, the Gu family is still rich and has no worries about food and clothing.
But recently, the Gu family has encountered a big trouble, or this matter cannot be called a trouble, it should be a disaster.
Here's how it happened.
The ancient family was rich from above, and finally a person with spiritual roots was born, and this person is the young master of the ancient family, Gu Sheng.
This woman has extraordinary qualifications and is favored by a passing veteran. Lao Dao is an elder of the nearby Immortal Sect, Chuanyunmen, this time he went out to parade, looking for opportunities, and happened to accept Gu Sheng as a disciple, pass on the Tao, and worship the nearby famous Chuanyunmen.
Entering the Chuanyun Gate, this old Taoist regarded Gu Sheng as his own daughter, and loved him very much, and for the incomprehension of the cultivation road, it was to break down the words and sentences, and tell Gu Sheng the truth of the Tao until she understood. And in order for Gu Sheng's talent not to be wasted, Lao Dao tried his best to collect cultivation resources, hoping that Gu Sheng's cultivation would make great progress.
Gu Sheng was also very competitive, with the careful care of Lao Dao and the assistance of a large number of elixirs, his cultivation was refined and fast, and he reached the peak of qi gathering in three years, ready to open up the spiritual vein.
It's a pity that this spirit vein elder is approaching his longevity, and his expectations for Gu Sheng are too hasty, and it is rumored that Yunmen is only the last in the immortal cultivation world, and the quality of the elixir he collected is not high, and Gu Sheng's body has accumulated a lot of impurities. If you don't take a lot of time to digest and remove them, these impurities will become a big obstacle when impacting the spiritual veins. Lao Dao urged urgently, Gu Sheng's foundation was unstable, and the impact bottleneck was a failure again and again!
Perhaps Lao Dao had sensed that something was wrong, and in the last year of his death, Gu Sheng hit the bottleneck several times in a row, all of which failed, and Lao Dao finally regretted his death. Gu Sheng blamed himself for this, feeling that he was ashamed of his master's expectations.
As soon as Lao Dao died, things followed.
Just like Tianchen back then, Lao Dao's eccentric treatment made the Chuanyun Sect very resentful of Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng was excluded in the sect, and even Lao Dao's funeral failed to participate, so he was blasted out by the major seniors in the door, as well as the senior brothers and sisters, with various reasons.
Gu Sheng was forced to leave the Cloud Gate, and because the number of times he hit the spiritual veins was too frequent, the bottleneck became more and more difficult to break through, and now he could only gather qi in the later stage of cultivation and return to the Gu family.
At this time, Chuanyunmen found out that Lao Dao issued a secret edict before he died, and also gave a small spiritual stone mine under his name to Gu Sheng, which added fuel to the fire, and Gu Sheng made people jealous to the point that their eyes turned purple.
A Qi Gathering Cultivator actually occupied a spiritual stone ore vein, which made the nearby immortal cultivation families quite hot, and the major immortal cultivation families, the immortal cultivation sects, came to the door and wanted to "buy" the spiritual stone mine from Gu Sheng's hands. Among them, the strongest immortal cultivator family in the vicinity came to the door, wanting to exchange three Wen Ling Dan for the entire spirit stone vein, which was simply a forcible grab.
Gu Sheng returned home, was embraced by his clansmen, and became the head of the family.
She knew very well that this spirit stone mine was a hot potato, and if she held on to it, it was very likely that she would set herself on fire and kill herself. After all, she knows best what the immortal cultivation world is like.
Gu Sheng persuaded the clansmen, and cut the flesh in pain, and made a deal with the strongest immortal cultivator family, exchanging the spirit stone mine for three Wen Ling Pills, hoping to settle the matter. But since you're remembered, don't expect the other party to give you a birthday.
Not long after, the news that Gu Sheng inherited a large number of heavenly treasures from her master spread unknowingly, and she also took a plausible evidence: if she hadn't gotten more treasures, how could a spirit stone mine not be taken into her eyes, just three Wen Ling Pills, and it was sold so cheaply!
Cultivating the immortal world, the weak eat the strong, that is the iron rule. A weak person like Gu Sheng, even if he dies 11 million, no one will care. Therefore, for the matter of treasures, the major families all held that they would rather believe that they had it than that they did not, and they made moves to force the palace, which can be said to have forced Gu Sheng to a dead end.
Gu Sheng knew that once this matter spread, people would be terrible, and it would be useless to explain too much, so he asked his people to prepare for a big war.
In the center of the ancestral hall of the ancient family, there is a fair-skinned, simple and refined dress, but an unusually haggard beautiful girl, she kneels in front of a portrait of an old woman, and prays sincerely.
The old woman on the portrait is kind and kind-eyed, amiable, and the smile that flows from the portrait will make anyone feel warm in their hearts and feel more cordial.
"Grandma, Sheng'er is useless, it has caused so much trouble to the family, if you can't pass this level, the entire Gu family will disappear because of this. But please also rest assured, I have ordered someone to secretly send Yan'er, Jiu Nan and other talented juniors out to join relatives in Boting City. Even if our Gu family is wiped out, as long as they are still there, the Gu family will not be extinct. ”
After the beautiful girl finished praying, she bowed three times to the spiritual seat of the predecessors of the ancient family on the stage, and wanted to go out.
But at this time, a middle-aged man ran in outside.
This person has a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a pair of octagonal mustaches under his nose, which looks very solemn, but at this moment, his face is very panicked, and his whole body is trembling.
The beautiful girl frowned, then remembered something, and exclaimed: "Third uncle, what's wrong with you?
The middle-aged man took a few breaths of relief, and then stammered back: "No, no, yes, it's Yan'er and they have an accident!"
"What!"
After speaking, the middle-aged man shook his hand and handed over a piece of letterhead, and the girl looked panicked, and immediately took it and read it.
"Hmph, it's really too deceitful, it's shameless to do the act of robbing people and coercing!"
"Young master's family, what should we do now? Yan'er They are the essence of our ancient family, those of us who are elders, we can't watch our juniors die! You, if you really have any treasures, just give them to them, we are a group of mortals, we can't afford to provoke these monks who know magic." The middle-aged man looked strange, but after thinking about it, he still made up his mind and said.
"Third uncle, you don't believe me either?" After hearing this, the beautiful girl felt a tense heart, and then looked at the other party with an incredible face, and looked at the other party's eyes dodging.
"It's not that your third uncle doesn't believe it, but, it's that my family's peach is inside, and my eldest brother's Jiu Nan is also inside, so I can't help it. It doesn't matter if our bunch of old bones die, we don't have a few years to live anyway, but they are still children, and I feel distressed to leave at such a young age!"
The man doesn't flick when he has tears, and when the third uncle says this, he can't help but burst into tears, which is embarrassing.
The beautiful girl took a deep breath, patted the third uncle's shoulder, and said, "I know, third uncle, this incident was caused by me, and I dragged everyone down." You go out and settle down with the uncle first, and then I'll think of a way. ”
The middle-aged man calmed down, straightened his appearance at the door, and then closed the door and walked away.
After the middle-aged man left, the beautiful girl could no longer bear the grievances in her heart, and lay in front of the portrait of the old grandmother, crying "hum".
The girl cried for a long time, calmed down her inner emotions, and then stood up, wiped away her tears, and prepared to go out of the house.
But after the girl turned around, she was stunned.
I saw that there was a white-robed man who was not a few feet away from her, this person had a handsome face and an extraordinary spirit, the girl was unprepared, and at first sight, she was unexpectedly moved, and her face was slightly red.
But soon, the girl reacted, and immediately raised her eyebrows, her hands quickly pinched, and the spiritual power in her body worked slightly, and between her fingers was a faint white light, exuding mana fluctuations.
The girl's expression sank, and she scolded the visitor: "Who are you? How dare you sneak into my ancient family ancestral hall? I don't know if this is a serious crime?"
The visitor chuckled and replied, "I heard that the Gu family was in trouble, so I came here to take a look." ”
"Hmph, I'm here to find the secret treasure again, thief, die!"
The girl has been anxious about the secret treasure in the past few days, and as soon as she heard this, she immediately regarded the white-robed young man as a greedy person who peeked into the so-called secret treasure, and immediately moved her jade fingers, and two fist-sized white lights flew away towards the white-robed young man with an icy aura.
The white-robed young man opened his mouth and blew, and a golden light swept by, and the two white lights dissolved out of thin air and disappeared. The girl was startled, and immediately decided on the side, and with a "bang" between her hands, a flame as big as a basin came out.
The flames were dazzling, and the temperature in the room suddenly rose, and the scorching air shook for it. The girl's face was anxious, and she was extremely careful to manipulate the fireball to make it slowly expand.
Obviously, the girl is very good at this spell, and if it is really released, the entire ancestral hall may be blown up.
The white-robed young man stroked one sleeve, and an invisible wave rippled out, and the girl only felt that the spiritual power in her body was stagnant, and she could no longer mobilize it, and lost the supply of spiritual energy, and the burning fireball consumed the remaining spiritual power and slowly disappeared.
Only then did the girl realize that the realm of the person in front of her was far from what she could fight, and the girl immediately calmed down and observed everything about the other party.
When the white-robed man saw that the girl was honest, he did not make any more punitive actions, he stepped forward in two steps, walked to the portrait of the old grandmother, and looked at it silently for a long time.
"Is this your old grandmother from the Gu family, who died three years ago?"
"Yes, yes. What's wrong?"
Hearing the man's inquiry, the beautiful girl nodded in response without thinking too much.
"Ah, what a kind person, so benevolent and generous, your ancient family is really blessed. ”
The white-robed man said to himself, and the beautiful girl naturally heard it inexplicably.
"Blessed, now the entire Gu family is in great trouble, if one is not careful, it will be in danger of extinction!" the beautiful girl complained in her heart, but in front of the white-robed man, she didn't dare to say it.
But the next moment, something surprising to the beautiful girl appeared.
I saw the man in the white robe take two steps forward respectfully, take three incense sticks from the stage and light them, hold the incense in his hand, bow three times to the portrait of the old grandmother, and then insert the incense into the incense burner. Then the white-robed man walked down, knelt respectfully three times and bowed nine times in front of the portrait of the old grandmother, and only then did he stand up.
The white-robed man worshiped the ancestor so devoutly, which made the beautiful girl's attitude towards him change, and she suddenly felt that the other party was a little kind and gentle, but the doubts in her heart were deeper.
Seeing the beautiful girl staring at her stupidly, the white-robed man laughed embarrassedly and explained: "In Xia Tianchen, I have received the favor of your ancestor before, and recently I heard that the ancient family is in trouble, so I came to help. It's just that now that the benefactor has gone, I only sigh that I am waiting for the blessings, and I have no chance to thank her in person. ”
The delicate girl first let out a dumbfounded "oh", and then reacted after a while, and suddenly her eyebrows flew, revealing ecstasy.
The mountains and rivers are poor and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.
At this moment, the girl's heart was overjoyed, and the other party easily defused her attack three times and twice, proving that the other party's strength was extraordinary, far surpassing herself. If there is this person's help, the beautiful girl will suddenly have some confidence, maybe she can really negotiate with the major families with this.
This kind of good thing, like a pie from the sky, actually fell on his head like this, or when the Gu family was alive and dead. The beautiful girl felt that the whole person was dizzy, and at this moment, in her heart, she was thanking her ancestors for their blessings.
