The witch didn't say anything, she only glanced at Liang Yan secretly, as if waiting for him to make a sound.
Liang Yan didn't expect his uncle to be so direct, but if he knew that Wu Xin was a real demon, he didn't know what he would think.
Regarding this matter, he could only say vaguely: "Uncle, I was joking. Now there are dangers in Hell. Our top priority is to escape from here as soon as possible."
Gu Zhiyu looked them up and down again, and thought to himself: "Looking at the posture of this female doll, it is clear that she has a crush on him. The two of them came hand in hand. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no relationship at all, but why do I
This junior nephew speaks eloquently and treats me so perfunctorily. Does he really not want me to help him propose marriage?"
"That's right! It must be because of this girl's origin. Judging from the demonic aura she has, she must be from a major demon sect."
Gu Zhiyu thought of this and suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Master Liang, you are looking down on me too much, aren't you? Although there are demons, uncle is not the one who beats mandarin ducks with sticks! You must know the Buddha,
Taoism, Confucianism, and Demonism are all the four major traditions from which the human race originated. Although the Demonic Cultivator's cultivation methods are a bit extreme, they have also contributed to our human race. As long as you two are happy, it is not impossible to form a Taoist couple.
!”
After hearing this, Liang Yan suddenly felt funny in his heart, and secretly thought: "That is a demon cultivator you are talking about. If you knew that she was a real demon, you would not have skinned me!"
However, it was naturally impossible for him to say these words. He could only keep a straight face and said with serious eyes: "Uncle, don't mention this matter again. The situation in Hell is changing now, and we have found out the way to escape from Hell.
I came here this time to take my uncle with me to escape from this prison!"
"What?!"
As expected, Gu Zhiyu was attracted by what he said, and no longer mentioned the unintentional things, but asked excitedly: "Do you know the way to escape from the underworld? Tell your uncle quickly!"
Next, Liang Yan told Gu Zhiyu in detail the content of his conversation with Shou Wenshi that day. At the end, the great uncle of the Yungang Sect could not help but change his face slightly, and he sighed deeply and said:
"So this is the truth about Hades. In fact, I had already guessed it, but I didn't expect that we monks are actually the food of others!"
In fact, Gu Zhiyu had investigated everywhere before entering the bamboo forest. However, he had not been in Hell for a long time and spent most of his time on cultivation. Otherwise, he would not have been able to escape from Juyuan in just two hundred years.
Breaking through from the peak of the realm to the peak of Jindan.
In comparison, Shou Wenshi had been in Hell for more than five hundred years, and he had inherited the legacy from the previous generation leader, so he naturally knew more than him.
"It's not enough to say it's a meal in the belly. After all, we haven't reached the Tongxuan realm yet, otherwise we would have been directly devoured by him." Liang Yan said helplessly.
Gu Zhiyu nodded and said: "The Void Soul Swallowing Beast cannot defeat the Innate Dao Fruit, but it uses the power of the Innate Dao Fruit to allow the monks in its belly to practice. After the monks practice to a higher level, they will be swallowed by it again."
Essence and blood are used as nutrients in order to continue to fight against the innate Dao Fruit. In this cycle, the three parties actually reached a balance."
"But the relationship between the Void Soul Swallowing Beast and the innate Dao Fruit is a waxing and waning relationship. If things go on like this, the Innate Dao Fruit will eventually be consumed by it, and by then these people in Hell will lose the value of their existence."
"good!"
After listening to Gu Zhiyu's analysis, Liang Yan also nodded and said: "We are here this time to rescue you and escape from the underworld together. Now I have advanced to the golden elixir, and Wuxin has also recovered to the peak of the golden elixir.
With our strength, the three of us should be able to fight against that gray mist."
"It's hard for you to have such a heart." Gu Zhiyu smiled slightly and said: "According to my guess, the stronger the person being chased, the more powerful the gray fog will be. Because I have not broken through to the Tongxuan realm, this gray fog will become more powerful."
The fog is not too strong, but with the combined strength of the three of us, there is indeed hope for a good fight."
"Then let's go out now and decide the outcome with it!"
"Don't worry!"
Gu Zhiyu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Do you still remember what I told you, this gray fog will be at its weakest every ten or twenty years."
The Liang Yan he was talking about naturally remembered that the first reason why he was able to escape from the bamboo forest was that Gray Mist was not very interested in monks below the Golden Core level. The second reason was that he had waited until Gray Mist was the weakest.
That day.
"Master uncle," Liang Yan vaguely guessed something.
"Yes, according to my observation, it will be the next time it weakens in three days. At that time, we will join forces to fight out from here!"
After hearing this, Liang Yan and Wu Xin looked at each other. Neither of them had any objections, so they settled on it.
In the next three days, Liang Yan talked with Gu Zhiyu all night long every day. After he advanced to the golden elixir, his understanding of the way of swordsmanship was naturally better than before, and some of his fantastic ideas were refreshing to Gu Zhiyu.
Moreover, both of them have studied the "Shadowless Sword Sutra", and each has their own understanding of it over the past ten years. After confirming each other, they both feel that they have benefited a lot and have taken a step forward on the road of swordsmanship.
On this day, the two of them competed for a few more moves in the forest. When Liang Yan sacrificed the Mayfly Sword Gang, Gu Zhiyu showed a hint of surprise on his face.
"I didn't expect that you have compressed the Jian Gang to within three feet, but every subsequent inch of compression will be very difficult. When you compress the Jian Gang to within one foot, you can start trying to condense the Jian Pill.
"
"Kenmaru."
To be honest, Liang Yan is not satisfied with his current swordsmanship. When he was in the Yunxiao Palace, he had seen the power of Dog Taoist's sword pills. Although it was just a glimpse, it still remains in his mind today.
.
If he could go one step further in the way of swordsmanship and cultivate the legendary sword pill, then his strength would definitely be incomparable.
"It's a pity." Gu Zhiyu sighed softly and said: "Jianwan's cultivation method has been lost in Nanchui for a long time. Even my uncle, I, am still stuck in the Jian Gang stage and struggling to figure it out. In this
I can’t teach you anything else.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan was not very disappointed, because he had already snatched the "Sword Fighting Chapter" of "Tao Jian Jing" from Sun Bu'er's hands, which contained the secret method of how to practice Jian Wan.
It's just that the sword pouch mentioned by Gu Zhiyu last time was rarely recorded in the "Tao Sword Classic". It seemed that this was regarded as common sense, which made Liang Yan a little confused.
"Uncle, when I entered the bamboo forest for the first time, you mentioned the sword pouch to me, and said it was a must-have item to advance to the sword pill stage. I wonder what kind of container is qualified as a sword pouch.
What?" Liang Yan suddenly asked.
"You've asked the right person." Gu Zhiyu chuckled and said, "The reason why I left Yungang Sect and went to Antarctica Xianzhou was to pursue a higher level of swordsmanship. Later, although I didn't find a way to practice swordsmanship,
I don’t know the method of pills, but I know a lot about the making of sword pouches.”
"If you want to make a sword pouch, there are three necessary conditions. The first is that the container must be a treasure from the cave."
"Treasure from the cave?" Liang Yan murmured, showing a thoughtful look.
"Yes, think about it, Jian Gang is already so powerful, how sharp will the sword pill be? Ordinary magic weapon containers cannot contain this sword edge for a long time. I'm afraid it won't take half a day's effort.
It will automatically break into pieces. Only the cave-heaven magic weapon, which forms its own world inside, can accommodate this tiny sword pill!"
"I see, this disciple has been taught!" Liang Yan nodded.
Gu Zhiyu smiled slightly and continued: "As for the second condition, this container must contain enough traces of the sword."
"The mark of the sword, what is this?" Liang Yan asked doubtfully.
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. These kendo traces are traces of kendo left by sword cultivators above the sword pill stage who have honed their swords countless times. It contains the senior sword cultivator's understanding of the kendo rules.
, the higher the grade of the sword marks in your sword bag, the stronger the sword pills you will make in the future!"
"There is still such a saying." After hearing this, Liang Yan couldn't help but sigh and said: "No one in our entire Nanchui can refine Jianwan, which shows that there are very few monks in the Jianwan stage, let alone get the traces of their swordsmanship.
.”
"Yes, this is also the reason why the way of sword cultivation is difficult to pass on."
Gu Zhiyu shrugged helplessly and said: "Every time a swordsman takes a step forward, the conditions for advancement become more and more stringent. Just to make the sword pouch, there must be sword marks left by the previous swordsmen.
Therefore, some famous swordsmanship inheritances are passed down by a single lineage because there are simply not so many resources available."
After hearing this, Liang Yan couldn't help but feel filled with emotion. The path he chose had a uncertain future and difficult times, but he never regretted it along the way.
He thought for a while and then asked: "What about the third condition?"
Gu Zhiyu chuckled and said: "The last condition is that the best genius treasures, spiritual herbs and elixirs must be added to this container as auxiliary materials."
"Why is this?" Liang Yan asked curiously.
"You should also be able to feel that after your natal Feijian entered the Jian Gang stage, its spirituality has greatly increased, and the further back it goes, the stronger the Feijian's spirituality becomes. Once it enters the Jianwan stage, you will see him
It’s not an exaggeration to be your own second life.”
Gu Zhiyu talked eloquently: "So sealing the flying sword in the sword bag is equivalent to giving birth to a second life, and precious spiritual materials must be used to assist its spiritual development, and the higher the grade of the medicinal materials you add,
, the sword pills raised in the future will be sharper."
Liang Yan heard him explain the three conditions for making a sword pouch in one breath, and he couldn't help but feel that the road was hard to find. At least judging from the current situation, there was no hope of making a sword pouch.
However, he still cupped his hands towards Gu Zhiyu and said, "Thank you, Master, for clarifying my doubts. Although this road is difficult, I will continue walking on it."
Gu Zhiyu laughed, patted his shoulder and said: "There are three thousand avenues, each with its own twists and turns. Since you choose to practice swordsmanship, don't regret it. You must know that once the sword pill is completed, the hidden dragon ascends to the sky and the phoenix soars to the nine continents!
"
"I have also gone through many hardships, and now I am stuck in the Jian Gang period like you. How about we compare and see who can be one step ahead of the other and enter the legendary realm?"
When Liang Yan heard what he said, he couldn't help but feel proud. The previous haze was swept away, and he laughed loudly and said: "What my uncle said is true. If I dare, I will make a bet with my uncle to see who will win."
Cultivation into a sword pill first!"
"Haha, okay! At that time, the loser will have to punish himself with three bowls!"
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
At this time, Wu Xin happened to come over and saw the old man and the young man sitting on the ground, laughing happily. He couldn't help but blinked his eyes and asked curiously: "Liang Yan, uncle, what did you just say? Why are you so happy?"
"nothing."
Liang Yan smiled and waved his hand and said, "I just chatted with my uncle about some insights on the way of swordsmanship. By the way, what's the matter with you coming here?"
Wuxin curled his lips and said: "You two have been chatting here for three days and three nights, and you don't care about what's going on outside. I just observed it and found that the aura of the gray mist has weakened, and the coverage area is also
It is gradually shrinking, and if I predict correctly, it should be at its weakest now."
Liang Yan and Gu Zhiyu both looked happy after hearing this.
"Now that the time has come, let's go out and fight it head-on!"
"Haha, I have been waiting for this day for how many years!"
Gu Zhiyu chuckled, sword intent burst out from all over his body, the originally quiet bamboo forest stirred up a strong wind, countless bamboo leaves floated around him, and his whole body was like an unsheathed sword.
The next moment, he turned into a ray of white light and disappeared in an instant. Also disappearing with him were Liang Yan and Witch Wu Xin.
Outside the sword formation in the bamboo forest, three rays of light fell to the ground at the same time, revealing the figures inside, which were Gu Zhiyu, Liang Yan and Wu Xin.
A gray mist spread out from the bamboo forest, and in just a few breaths, it surrounded the three of them.
"This gray mist has indeed become weaker."
Liang Yan's eyes were filled with blue light. Although he still couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the gray mist, he could clearly feel that its aura had weakened a lot.
The three of them each guarded a position and were trying to influence each other, barely revealing any flaws.
The two sides only remained in a stalemate for a few breaths before the gray mist took the lead in attacking. After a period of twisting and rolling, a dozen Chaos Dolls emerged from it.
Each of these dolls has the cultivation level of the Golden Core Realm, and every move is filled with strong evil aura. The most important thing is that they can be resurrected from the dead. Unless the gray mist is completely eliminated, they will continue to be reborn.
Liang Yan and Wu Xin had already experienced their power, and they did not hold back at this moment. They used the Mayfly Sword Gang and the Witch's Fa at the same time to attack these puppets.
Gu Zhiyu, on the other hand, used a single-handed technique to pinch, and countless bamboo leaves surrounded him, eventually converging into a sharp sword.
"go!"
With a wave of his sleeve, the "Bamboo Leaf Sword" also slashed towards those puppets.
