Chapter 3 Choices
The Chongshan faction, as one of the forty-nine gates of the Heavenly World, formed an alliance with the Mixed Yuan Sect and the Songyang Academy, and the three factions advanced and retreated together. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ Info is among the most influential sects except for the twelve heaven-level sect giants. The land of Bai'an is between the three factions and is jointly protected by the three factions. All the small and medium-sized sects in the land of Bai'an, and all the large, medium and small families must look at the three factions and regard them as the head of the bull. The Guo family is a vassal of the Chongshan faction, and Guo Jie, the first ancestor of the Guo family, is a disciple of the Jindan period of the Chongshan faction. Provide a variety of cultivation resources and elite disciples for the Chongshan School.
Although the land of Bai'an enjoys peace and ease, it has no direction of expansion, so the internal friction is serious. There is fierce competition between families, within families.
"Are you going to take the annual exam?" Deng Mingzhao pondered.
"I haven't fully controlled this body yet, my divine consciousness has not healed, and my cultivation has just broken through to the fifth layer, and it will take time to stabilize. Also, there are not only fifth-level outstanding students in the academy, but also a few sixth-layer cultivators, all of whom are extremely strong opponents. But if you take the annual exam, it is not without the slightest chance of winning. From Wei Dongping's memory, we can find several secret methods that can improve combat power in a short period of time, coupled with Wei Dongping's more than 200 years of combat experience, paying a huge price is the slightest possibility of becoming the top three and obtaining the qualification to go to the Chongshan faction. β
"But is it worth it, is it necessary?"
"The original Guo An's qualifications are not excellent, and the family resources will not be inclined to him. Staying in the family, he is just like his grandfather Guo Chuan, at most he is a foundation building monk. The Chongshan faction will open the mountain gate next year to accept disciples, which is Guo An's best opportunity. If you don't seize this opportunity, maybe there won't be a next one. So Guo An has to fight."
"But I, Deng Mingzhao, must seize this opportunity, do I need to work hard?"
"Guo Chuan is a monk in the early stage of foundation building, and the backbone of the Guo family. But now that he is paralyzed in bed, his position in the family is unstable, and he naturally can no longer escort "Guo An". There are black-box operations everywhere, and maybe those three places have already been determined. From my "experience as an otaku in my previous life", this is certainly, definitely, definitely, absolutely, and must. If I forcibly take "someone else's quota", I am afraid it will be a blessing in disguise. Besides, there is still more than half a year of "intensive training", during which there are too many variables. Give me a frame-up, frame-up, or plot, and it's enough for me to drink a pot. This was not a person's life in the previous life, but this is a high-level high-energy cultivation world, and the soul may not be able to rest in peace after death. Therefore, every decision related to the future and destiny must be extremely cautious, not negligent and hot-blooded. As a "past life otaku", I have enough understanding of the darkness of society, even if others say that I am too extreme. β
"Even if 'Guo An' is accepted by the Chongshan faction, he is also an outer disciple, and he can't get any benefits, and he can't escape the life of being a coolie as cannon fodder. Now I have some memories of Wei Dongping, although most of them are incomplete, but the fundamental classic of the Chaos Sect, "Gods and Men Riding the Light", is complete, and this is the top immortal cultivation method that goes straight to the heavenly realm. Now the exercises of the Chongshan School are no longer necessary for my future practice. Other cultivation resources, such as elixirs, equipment, information and even the concentration of aura in the surrounding environment, etc., are nothing compared to the Chongshan Sect. Well, in the future, you must go out of the Guo family. β
"If I have received the body of "Guo An", do I have to accept the social relations and responsibilities of "Guo An"?
If you don't want to accept the social relationships and responsibilities left by Guo An, you can also feel at ease. shamelessly said that "Guo An" has a murderous enmity with himself, after all, he ate the 'Ascension Pill' that he saved. If he is not "eaten" by him, maybe he may become a Dan demon in the future, and he can also dominate the world. Well, as for whether it will be eaten by other people, that's not in my own consideration. Now that I haven't killed his whole family, I'm already very benevolent and kind, thinking about my previous life, I just wanted to be shameless and indecent and didn't succeed.
"Alas, I've always had such a bottom line, where can I find someone as kind as me!. β
Uncle Chen, who was standing on the side, seemed to see a lewd smile on the little master's face, "It must be that I have been dizzy due to the recent rise of the false fire, and I have seen it wrong." β
"Alasββ!" let out a long sigh and gave up his unrealistic ramblings. When I was an otaku, I was always dissatisfied with the status quo of society, and I hated myself even more for not being angry. Disgusted with oneself, hated oneself, and denied oneself, he couldn't even be a shameless person, what else could he do? Now that he is loved by God, he has gained even more, and even the possibility of becoming an immortal and an ancestor is in front of him. Do you still want to be the uncompetitive "dead house" in your previous life, and still deceive yourself?
Thinking back to Uncle Chen's sincere care and care for "himself" around him, and recalling the heartfelt love and concern of "parents" Guo Ningcheng and Yang, as well as aunts Liu and Zhou, to "himself", how touching and supported the failed "dead house" in his previous life. There is also the reverence that my sister Guo Qingyu and my younger brother Guo Zhai, Guo Shouxun, and sister Guo Qingfang in my memory show every time they see themselvesγγγγγγ
Suddenly, an unsuitable sentence appeared in his thinking, "All things are born to support people, and people have nothing and heaven!"
What is the consequence of "man has nothing and nothing and heaven"?
In his previous life, he did a "dead house" to gnaw at the old, and did not repay his parents' fertility kindness, but after death, he turned into a grass and was burned into ashes to refine into pills, and finally eaten. Is this karma reincarnation?
Uh, think too much, stop and stop.
It is impossible to give up a body without a father and mother, so the parents of "Guo An" are the parents of "me", and the responsibility of "Guo An" is my responsibility. Before leaving the Guo family, he must settle his "parents" well.
As the saying goes: "There is no unfilial piety of the gods!" is to become an immortal, and it is also necessary to fulfill filial piety. The regrets of the previous life should not be continued.
It's time to make a choice.
At that moment, he told Uncle Chen to go to the school to ask for leave.
The little master decided not to compete for the place to go to the Chongshan faction, and Chen Bo breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
Seeing that Uncle Chen didn't have confidence in himself, what could "himself" do but smile bitterly.
Sent away the personal maid Rong'er, "Deng Mingzhao" entered the practice room and sat down cross-legged.
Meditation and concentration, the consciousness is extremely concentrated and single-minded. The divine sense of the land was gray, and he entered the Purple Mansion Upper Palace again.
Standing in the purple mansion heaven and earth, with a detached attitude, a solemn expression, and a solemn tone, he opened his mouth to swear,
"I hereby swear that my past life was like a dream, and now it is true. β
"Take Guo An's perseverance and abandon Deng Mingzhao's slackness. β
"Take Wei Dongping's resolute decision, abandon Deng Mingzhao's hesitation and fickleness. β
"Take Deng Mingzhao's thoughtfulness and abandon Guo An's recklessness. β
"Take Guo An's courage to move forward, and abandon Deng Mingzhao's fear of difficulties and dangers. β
"Take Wei Dongping's Ning unyielding, abandon Deng Mingzhao's greed for life and fear of death. β
"Take Deng Mingzhao's ideological emancipation, and abandon Guo Anwei Dongping's stubbornness. β
"From now on, my name is Guo An, and I will work hard to cultivate and become an immortal!"
Since then, Deng Mingzhao has ceased to exist, and has been replaced by "New Guo An"
As soon as the oath came out, the "freshly baked Guo An" immediately felt a burst of relief. In the past, Zifu Heaven and Earth had some faint estrangement and rejection towards themselves, but now they are gone.
After staying in the Purple Mansion Heaven and Earth for a while, and after scrutinizing some things, Guo An's divine sense withdrew from the Purple Mansion.
Guo An opened his eyes and felt that the scene in front of him was much clearer than before. There is no sense of incongruity in the body, either. The whole body is revealing a hearty heart, as if Shen Ke has been swept away from the body after recovering from a serious illness.
"Gods and Men Riding the Light of the Scriptures" is a method of refining gods, and it can only be cultivated after the foundation building period. And the top-level foundation-laying exercises that Wei Dongping cultivated during the Qi cultivation period of the Chaos Sect had been lost, and Guo An could only continue to practice the "Purple Yang Decision" at this stage.
"Purple Sun Decision", "Agni Fire Strength", "Earth Fire Gong", "Fire Separation Gong" and so on are all low-level exercises in the cultivation realm, and only some children of small families and casual cultivators who have no way to practice them, and the efficacy ratio is not high. Yuan Guo An began to cultivate when he was four years old, and with his medium cultivation qualifications, he was able to cultivate to the fifth level of the Qi cultivation period within eight years, which shows his hard work. It's a pity that creation makes people!
Transporting "Ziyang Decision", the merit is a week. The spiritual power in the body is like an arm, and there is no hindrance. Casually release a few spells, such as fireball technique, wind blade technique, ice archery technique, etc., all of which are as you like, even more handy than the spells cast by Guo An in the memory.
"I will definitely go further and achieve greater achievements than the previous "me"!" Guo An secretly swore.
After cultivating for seven days, I greeted my parents in the morning and evening according to the rules every day.
Thanks to the automatic maintenance of sufficient life vitality in the body, the injuries on the soul were no longer hindered, so he ordered Chen Bo to prepare a car to travel.
"Where is the young master?"
"Go to the old lady's mansion in Beicheng. β
Guo Chuan's fame is called "Baiyin Flute", so he proclaims his mansion as "Baiyin Garden". The "Baiyin Garden" occupies a vast area, located in the north of the city near the city wall, and is a luxurious manor. The courtyards and pavilions in the park are jagged and pavilions, the flowers and trees are luxuriant, and the scenery is beautiful. In Chili City, where every inch of land is valuable, Guo Chuan is qualified to have it, because Guo Chuan is a monk in the foundation building period and the backbone of the Guo family.
In fact, in Chili City, there are many manors that are bigger than the "Baiyin Garden". Only civilians who were not qualified to cultivate were huddled together. The monks in the Qi cultivation period have their own mansions, and those in the foundation building period basically have manors. As for the Jindan period monks, if they didn't have a task, who would want to stay in this city where materialism is rampant and spiritual energy is thin, they would have already gone to the spiritual mountain resort full of spiritual energy to retreat and cultivate.
In the Guo family, in addition to the family patriarch who inherited the inheritance of the first ancestor Guo Jie, as long as the other clansmen can reach the Jindan stage of cultivation, they can set up another branch family. The Jindan Ancestors and Patriarchs of each branch formed the Supreme Decision-Making Council of Elders.
The situation of the big and small families in the land of Bai'an is probably similar.
Most of the main lineage and the eight branch descendants of the Guo family also did not live in Chili City, they all lived on Chili Mountain, which was full of fire and spiritual power. With this difference alone, the children of the side branches of the Guo family are not as good as the descendants of the main lineage. Unless it is a side branch with excellent qualifications and talents, the children will be picked out by the family and taken to Chili Mountain to practice.
Even some monks of the Chongshan Sect who practiced the Fire Sect would come to Chili Mountain.
"The Nineteenth Young Master is back!"
Menzi bowed sideways. The gatekeeper of "Baiyin Garden" adheres to the attitude of Guo Chuan's eldest son, Guo Lan, and has always been lukewarm to Guo An. But the proportion is very good, so that people can't find fault. In fact, most of the people in the house have the same attitude.
"Hmm!" Guo An nodded noncommittally and walked towards the garden. Uncle Chen waited at the door with a carriage as usual.
Walk through the main hall and enter your grandfather's residence, "Fukutewakaku". In the bedroom, Guo An saw his grandfather after poisoning "again".
On the hundred-year-old pineapple wooden bed lies an old man who describes it as withered. The old man's eyes were deep-set and his cheekbones were high. The bare skin festered in spots and gave off a smoky stench. The bedding and sheets were dirty, and there was a lot of dust in the corners.
Seeing this, the memories of the "before" grandfather suddenly came flooding back. Guo An's nose suddenly became sour, his eyes turned red, and his vision was a little blurred. It can be seen how much "I" respected my grandfather before.
"An'er is here, don't cry or cry, grandpa is fine, it's okay, it'll be fine in a few days. Don't cry. You are all a monk in the Qi cultivation period, you must be strong. Guo Chuan spoke with great difficulty, and comforted him painfully, "Grandson." β
Pick up the overflow of emotions and settle down your emotions. Guo An greeted his grandfather, and then told Guo Chuan about breaking through the fifth layer of the Qi cultivation period and giving up going to the Chongshan Sect.
After hearing this, Guo Zhou expressed his comfort and told Guo An that he was right to give up the quota.
Guo An also reported to his grandfather Guo Chuan about some recent events in Chili City. In the end, Guo An told his grandfather Guo Chuan that he had made up his mind to learn alchemy and medicine, and he must cure his grandfather's poison. Guo An asked his grandfather to persevere and wait for his success.
Even the monks in the early stage of foundation building can't be poisoned, how poisonous can it be? Of course, for the monks in the Qi cultivation period, it is absolutely poisonous. From Wei Dongping's memory, he knew that there were at least fifteen or sixteen kinds of pills that could cure Guo Chuan. Or find a monk in the Jindan period to help Guo Chuan transport power and force drugs. But Guo An, a Jindan monk who could help, couldn't find it, and there were a lot of enemies. As for the elixirs, such as the "Righteous Qi Dispelling Evil Pill" of the Heaven and Earth Haoran Sect, the "Hundred Poisons Transformation Divine Pill" of the Wanhua Demon Sect, the "Bailing Detoxification Pill" and the "Tianshen Detoxification Pill" of the Danding Sect, etc., all large and small sects have elixirs, but the cheapest one is worth at least 7,000 spirit stones.
Even pairs, there are also mixed sects. But Wei Dongping is a sword cultivator, and he is not familiar with alchemy, and his memory of the formula has been lost.
Guo Zhou suddenly fell silent after hearing this.
Out of his grandfather's bedroom, Guo An called several subordinates who served his grandfather over, "I will often come to visit my grandfather in the future, if you dare to neglect and serve without doing your duty, I will kill you all over the house if I am evil." β
When several slaves saw Guo An's murderous eyes, they were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy. The monks of this world have the power of life and death over mortals, not to mention their own minions.
Out of the "Futing Pavilion", Guo An's uncle Guo Lan's personal companion Guo Fuxin was waiting at the door.
"Young Master An, the heir lord wants to see you. Guo Fuxin owes a salute. Grandpa is not dead, and Uncle Guo Lan can't be called the head of the family, so he is called the heir. If grandpa can't heal in a short time, then grandpa must delegate power. The porter and other subordinates called themselves "Nineteen Young Masters", but Guo Fuxin dared to call himself "An". Whoever made him the person next to the uncle, he couldn't bear him.
"Uncle wants to see me, you lead the way. β
followed Guo Fuxin to the residence of Uncle Guo Lan "Fuzheng Courtyard". In the main hall, the eldest uncle sat solemnly, his face expressionless, and his whole body exuded bursts of coercion, which made people dare not make a mistake. Guo Lan is over sixty years old, and he has cultivated to the nine-layer Great Perfection of Qi cultivation, and he is one step away from building a foundation.
Guo Chuan practiced hard when he was young and married late. After his cultivation was successful, Guo Chuan wantonly married wives and concubines, so that his children and grandchildren were full. This is also the practice of the Xiuzhen family, all for the sake of having a few more monks among the future generations.
Guo An bowed and saluted.
"I heard that your practice went wrong and your consciousness was damaged. β
In his heart, Guo An already knew that he had the eyes and ears of his uncle in his house. "Yes, a few days ago, my nephew was anxious to break through the cultivation to participate in the annual competition of the academy and something went wrong, but he finally broke through to the fifth layer of qi training. It's much better now. Thank you Uncle for your concern. β
"Hmm. You're still young, and you're too reckless. Fortunately, you didn't go to the academy competition, this year's competition was very cruel, three people died, and more than ten people were disabled. Several students' cultivation was a breakthrough on the spot, and even one of them failed in the sixth layer of the Qi cultivation period. You have to learn the lesson of this time. β
"Yes, thank you for your teachings. The nephew will definitely remember it in the future, dare not or forget. Guo Anxin was shocked at the tragedy of this year's annual competition.
In the Xiuzhen family, in the Xiuzhen world, there are too many people who want to get ahead, such as the carp that crosses the river. In order to win, all kinds of tricks fell out. Even the "Guo An generation" is a victim. The "Ascension Pill" is one of the auxiliary pills for Qi cultivation peak monks to break through to the foundation building stage, and Guo An's current cultivation should not be taken at all. In addition, the "Ascension Pill" purchased by Guo An was too cheap, less than one-third of the market price.
asked the names of the three winners of this year from the uncle's mouth, and sure enough, one of them was the classmate who sold it to the "Guo An Generation" and "Ascension Pill". Although Guo An's cultivation qualifications are average, he is the top batch in the Lifeng Academy. In addition, Guo Andao has a firm heart and no distractions, that is, "one tendon", and his cultivation combat power is at the top. Once he normally broke through to the fifth layer of Qi training, even those who practiced Qi at the sixth level did not dare to say that they would definitely be able to defeat him. It's really hard to say who will lose and who will win in the battles of the two or even three levels adjacent to each other during the Qi training period.
Therefore, the "Guo An generation" was "fooled" and cheated!
Because of this, there is the "second generation of Guo An".
In fact, the annual competition every three years is very miserable, with few exceptions. There are many adults in the Guo family, and there are many contradictions. The main lineage branch line controls almost all the resources of the family, and in order to appease the grievances of the people of the side branches, three entry quotas of the Chongshan Sect are taken out every three years. In fact, this is like the owner throwing out a few bones with meat for the family dog to grab.
In order to avoid being reprimanded continuously, Guo An took the initiative to ask: "I don't know why the uncle called his nephew over?"
