No one even knew that he was not in Bashan.

What does the practice look like?

Or what is practice?

Everyone who is considered a practitioner by the world has a different definition in their minds.

In Gu Liren's view, cultivation is questioning, and it is continuous transcendence.

When he got the first cultivation book and the first sword scripture in Bashan, he constantly questioned whether these practice books that had been circulated for many years were correct and whether those sword moves were reasonable.

And then he really noticed that there was a lot of something wrong with it, and he kept changing it.

Every day is new, and the ripples that ripple when each leaf falls into the river are a little different, how can there be one thing that remains the same, always correct practice exercises and sword moves?

He's getting stronger and stronger.

Until someone like Yu Zuochi was sure that he was not his opponent.

But he was well aware that there was something wrong with his method of cultivation.

Because of talent.

Only people with a talent like him, or people with a higher talent than him, can practice like him.

Therefore, he does not have blind self-confidence like many famous teachers, thinking that even some disciples with ordinary talents can achieve amazing achievements under his tutelage.

......

Gu Liren, who was dressed in a green shirt, slowly walked towards an inconspicuous inn at the end of the alley.

His hair was simply tied up with a cloth band, and the coarse cloth Tsing Yi on his body was extremely simple, without any ornaments or accessories.

At this time, of course, he could not have foreseen that his outfit would become the most popular attire for men in Qin for a long time in the future, and even many years later, the vast majority of Qin Di's cultivators still liked this kind of attire the most.

It's a border city.

Over the past decade or so, the border city has changed hands several times, sometimes to Zhao, sometimes to Qin, and now to Qin.

It is far from Bashan, and of course the scenery is also very different.

In the restaurants and inns in some county towns and towns in Bashan, there are jars of meat and sausages that he likes everywhere, but in the inns here, the most made is sour soup fish.

When he walked into the courtyard of this inn, there was a teenager in a shabby cloth dress who was drinking fish in sour soup.

The young man's figure was not burly, his hair was a little messy, and even his shabby cloth clothes were stained with some blood and beast fur.

However, Gu Liren looked at the young man, and his eyes gradually lit up.

He smiled.

The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, even if the taste of the sour soup made his nose wrinkle slightly, even if it was the appearance of the young man who was too lazy to spit out fish bones when he ate fish, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, and I finally found out that you were here. ”

He walked straight forward, sat down across from the boy, and said with a smile. "You don't know how difficult and fortunate it is to start with a hide and find you. ”

"What?"

The young man frowned slightly and pushed the bowl aside, he carefully looked at the man in green shirt sitting opposite, looked at the other party's clear eyes and serious expression, and then felt that the other party seemed to be a little handsome and did not look like a person from the city here, he finally made sure that the other party was not sick and not joking, so he added puzzledly, "What animal skin." ”

"A tiger skin. ”

Gu Liren looked at the young man, gestured on his neck, nodded a position, and said, "There is a hole here." ”

The boy thought for a moment, thoughtfully, "Then what are you looking for me?"

"It should have been stabbed to death with bamboo like this?"

Gu Liren looked at a purple bamboo on the stool beside the young man, and said seriously: "I have seen many people stab beasts or people to death with such bamboo, but I have never seen such a piercing hole, I think it should be a hole pierced by a person who is not strong enough and is not a cultivator." ”

"Later, I made a great effort to ask who had sold the hide, and it turned out that it was a young man here, and then I came. ”

Gu Liren looked at the young man and began to be full of joy, and even felt that it was a miracle given by God.

"Are you sick?"

He was full of joy, but the boy frowned deeply.

Gu Liren was stunned for a moment.

"Even if it's me, even if I stab a beast to death with this bamboo, what does it have to do with you? Spend so much effort to find out where this beast skin was sold and what to do?" the young man looked at him, his eyes full of vigilance.

"Because I want to find a successor. Gu Liren knew that he was too happy and a little abrupt, so he smiled a little awkwardly and said, "If you really have the kind of talent I thought, I want to teach you to practice." ”

The young man looked at him strangely and said, "What's in it for me?"

Gu Liren was stunned again.

Only then did he realize that for the ordinary teenagers in the Changling area, if they knew that there were cultivators who wanted to teach them to practice, they would definitely be overjoyed, but here, in this kind of place, the teenagers here probably didn't even know what cultivation was.

"Do you know what a practitioner is?"

So he looked at the young man and asked seriously.

"I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it. The boy said with a frown.

"Practicing is a very interesting thing. Gu Liren looked at him with a smile and said, "If you know the method of cultivation and know how to use the vitality of heaven and earth, you will have a very powerful power, and you can do many things that you can't even imagine now." ”

The young man thought for a moment and said, "For example?"

Gu Liren also thought about it, he glanced at the young man's chopsticks, and then a pair of chopsticks in the young man's hand suddenly broke.

"In many storybooks, there is no difference between a practitioner and an immortal, a practitioner will live longer, and will have many magical powers that ordinary people can't imagine, such as a powerful cultivator, who wants to kill you, just look at you and you will die, unless you are also a practitioner. ”

Gu Liren looked at the startled young man and said seriously.

The young man looked at the chopsticks in his hand that were cut off without warning, and looked at the incision that was smooth to the extreme, his brows furrowed deeply, and said, "If I don't agree, will you kill me?"

Gu Liren smiled bitterly and said, "It shouldn't be, it's just that I thought that you wouldn't have so many problems after hearing this, shouldn't you gladly agree?"

"Then I won't say yes. ”

The young man replied very categorically.

Gu Liren was stunned again, this time he was stunned for a long time before he could speak again and asked, "Why?"

"Because I know that there are many cultivators, and you are too reckless. The young man looked at him seriously and said, "Because of a piece of animal skin, you think I'm different, so you spend so much effort to find me, I think you are not only reckless, but also impulsive, in the world of cultivators, I'm afraid you can be easily killed, you teach me to practice, it doesn't seem to do me any good." ”

Gu Liren listened to his reasoning and smiled dumbly, but he was not angry in his heart, and the more he looked at the young man, the more happy he became.

"I'm not as reckless as you think, because I'm different from ordinary people, so I can see the extraordinary in that hole, and besides, I asked people to help find you... I also found several hides that should have come from you. So it's not a coincidence, you should be very talented, you have intuition that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and the point is, if you kill these beasts alone, I don't know how you managed to be so calm, to kill them so easily, after all, you are not a cultivator. Gu Liren thought about it seriously, and then laughed, "Moreover, there may indeed be people in the world who can defeat me, but there should be no people who can kill me." So your concerns don't exist. ”

The boy frowned, he felt that this man's tone was too big.

"You stab me with this bamboo. ”

Gu Liren looked at him, with a look of expectation in his eyes, "Don't show mercy, really don't. ”

The boy thought about it and said no more.

His hand moved, and before he even stood up, the purple bamboo in his hand had already pierced out.

Gu Liren's eyes widened suddenly, and his eyes were full of amazing light.
