Gu Shuo didn't have much confidence in cracking the Yin Talisman. Without Zong Mu, he would simply give up.
The method he came up with was very simple. Since the rune he constructed could transform the talisman into a yin talisman, would he be able to convert the yin talisman back by building an opposite rune?
The principle is very simple, but it is extremely difficult to study. Fortunately, there is no need to use physical objects, just use spiritual power to construct it.
Gu Shuo first followed his own ideas and used his spiritual power to construct a rune pattern that he thought was opposite. Then he constructed a Yin rune rune and brought the two runes together.
exploded!
Although the noise was not loud, it still attracted the attention of the big demon. However, the big demon took one look and thought that Gu Shuo was testing some kind of Taoism there, with that kind of power?
The big demon curled his lips and stopped paying attention.
Gu Shuo was not discouraged even if he failed. If he had not had great perseverance, he would have given up long ago with his qualifications. How could he have achieved his current level of cultivation?
Nothing else dares to compare, but this perseverance is what Gu Shuo has always been proud of.
By observing the talismans and the collision process and results of the two talismans, Gu Shuo kept trying every day. Of course, he also had to refine a certain amount of elixirs for the big demon every day.
Six more days passed in a blink of an eye, and Gu Shuo still failed.
This day.
After Gu Shuo refined the elixir, the demon took it and closed his eyes to heal his wounds. Gu Shuo sat cross-legged and was thinking about the Yin Transformation Talisman. Suddenly he raised his head and looked down the mountain, and saw a big
The demon was walking towards the mountain. Gu Shuo's eyes narrowed and he saw an acquaintance. Behind the big demon was an acquaintance with a sad expression.
Jian Shanhong.
Jian Shanhong also saw Gu Shuo at this time, with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes. The big demon sensed Jian Shanhong's murderous intent and turned around to look, only to find that Jian Shanhong's eyes full of murderous intent were staring at the mountainside not far away.
Gu Shuo said calmly:
"Want to kill him?"
"I think!" Jian Shanhong simply nodded.
At this time, the big demon next to Gu Shuo also opened his eyes, with a smile on his face and said: "That human race wants to kill you."
The breeze blew by, and the afterglow of dusk dyed the sky into blood. Halfway up the mountain, the big demon's sarcastic gaze could be understood by Gu Shuo. He was mocking the human race for killing each other. Gu Shuo's gaze looked toward Jian Shanhong below.
The atmosphere became stagnant.
The big demon next to him looked at Gu Shuo, and the sarcasm in his eyes became more intense: "Don't worry, since you are my slave, no one can touch you."
The big demon below stopped, and the afterglow fell on him through the gaps in the leaves, as if he was covered with a layer of mottled armor. A tense atmosphere was born between the two big demons.
Gu Shuo's expression was very calm, and he even had a smile on his face. Jian Shanhong's face below him became even more ugly, and finally couldn't help but burst out:
"I am a slave and you are a slave now. What are you so funny about?"
The big demon below looked at Gu Shuo, and the big demon beside him also looked at Gu Shuo. The faces of the two big demons showed great interest. Gu Shuo said lightly:
"I'm not a slave, I'm just a prisoner of this senior. I can do things for him that don't break my bottom line. If I were to be a slave, I would rather die."
The two big demons and Jian Shanhong were both stunned, and then Jian Shanhong's face turned red. The big demon below smiled, grinning widely, and did not hide his ridicule towards the big demon above. The big demon above's eyes flickered.
Killing intent:
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Gu Shuo glanced at the big demon beside him and frowned slightly: "Afraid! But since senior didn't kill me, I shouldn't be able to die."
"That's hard to say."
"The worst case scenario is death." Gu Shuo said calmly.
Gu Shuo was really prepared to die. Once he couldn't wait for the human monks and the big demon wanted to kill him, he would fight to the death. The worst result was that he killed the big demon with Hundred Ghost Night Walk, but his own soul was damaged.
, no more progress. The worst result is death,
It's impossible to be a slave anyway.
The murderous intent on the big demon's face suddenly subsided, and he laughed and said: "You can't die now, I still need you to make elixirs for me. But you have to think carefully. When my injury heals, you still don't want to be me.
If you are a slave, then I will have to eat you. Do you want to be a slave, or do you want to be eaten by me?"
"Is there a third option?"
The big demon became interested: "What if there is one? What do you want?"
Gu Shuo thought for a while and shook his head: "Forget it!"
"Why?"
"You won't let me go, and I can't beat you. It's useless to even think about it."
"Boy, I'm really interested in you. How would you put it in the words of your human race? Well, by the way, you are wise."
Gu Shuo's face darkened. I accepted my fate. Does that mean I have wisdom?
"Boy, let me ask you, what's wrong with humans and gods living together? We protect you humans, and you humans serve us. Isn't this a blessing for you humans?"
"You will not succeed!"
Gu Shuo answered these words very decisively, then turned to look at Jian Shanhong, sighed, and was about to speak, but his face suddenly changed, and there was a roar in the air.
The astonishing aura suddenly hit like a sea wave, and the big demon below suddenly took action and punched the big demon above.
It was so fierce that it seemed like it was going to punch a hole in the sky.
The big demon next to Gu Shuo stretched out a hand and flicked it forward, but it collapsed with a mountain-like power. The towering ancient tree between the two people instantly turned into powder. Gu Shuo's figure flew back, and the air exploded.
The residual power formed was like a random arrow shooting out in all directions. Gu Shuo pushed the Feng Step to the limit, but was still shot through his left arm by a wisp of air arrows.
Gu Shuo was so focused at this time that he had no idea of escaping, because the problem now was not escaping, but how to avoid the fierce battle between the two out-of-body demons, the space fission caused by it, and how to save his own life. His long sword
Already out of the body, the clanging sound was as dense as rain hitting banana trees, and the Tai Chi sword drew circles one after another in the air, using four or two strokes to deflect the air arrows that he could not avoid.
boom……
The big demon below flew backwards, but its strength was still a bit weaker than the dragon. He grabbed Jian Shanhong and flew away. The dragon stood there upright, overwhelming the world, and arrogant. It was not until he confirmed that the big monster really left that he
He spat out a mouthful of blood with a pop, sat on the ground with a dejected look, turned to look at Gu Shuo and said:
"Why don't you run?"
Gu Shuo said calmly: "Maybe senior is really seriously injured, maybe this is my chance to get rid of senior. But I will be captured by that big demon."
"I read you right, you are indeed a wise man. That big demon is of the same race as me, and we have not dealt with each other since we were young. It would be a pity to let him run away. If I could eat him, my
Not only can the injury be healed, but there is also hope that he can become a god."
Gu Shuo grinned and said nothing. Jiao was silent for a while and said: "Why do you say we won't succeed? Tell the truth, otherwise I will eat you."
"Then if I tell the truth, will you let me go?"
"You want to eat shit! But I won't force you to become my slave. Just like you said, as my prisoner, you only need to refine a certain amount of elixirs for me every day.
Well, I will take you to the Demon Realm, and you will be my dedicated alchemist."
Gu Shuo was not disappointed either. He also knew that the other party would not let him go. He said: "You demon clan naturally believes that the weak should become the slaves of the strong."
"Yes! Is it wrong? Don't you humans think so?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong!" Gu Shuo said calmly: "But! Humans are not weak!"
Jiao laughed and said: "Then you just follow me and watch, see how our demon race conquers your human race and makes the human race crawl at the feet of our demon race."
Jiao looked at Gu Shuo majestically: "What is your name?"
"Gu Shuo!"
"I will take you back to Xifeng Pass, where I have my territory. There are also many of my human slaves. I want you to select some humans from among them and train them to be alchemists. Make alchemy for me as a reward for you.
I allow you not to call me master, but to call me senior. My name is Guanggan."
Gu Shuo nodded, but felt relieved.
But he didn't want to follow Guang Gan to Xifeng Pass. It was easy to enter Xifeng Pass, but it was difficult to get out.
"It's time to make elixirs." Guang Qian closed his eyes again.
Gu Shuo began to refine alchemy. Guang Qian closed his eyes, but he was thinking in his heart. This Gu Shuo is useful to him. If Gu Shuo can train a group of alchemists for himself, whether he has cultivation resources or is in the demon clan,
The status will change. As for whether he is a prisoner or a slave, he only needs to work for himself. He doesn't care about the nominal things.
only……
He opened his eyes and took a look at Gu Shuo, who had silver hair and an old face.
This human race is quite old. He is a golden elixir at such an old age, and his qualifications are probably not very good. No wonder he has to be afraid of death, and he probably doesn’t have much longevity left. He has to try his best to train some alchemists for himself during his lifetime. However,
People like him who don't have many years to live are not afraid of death. Threatening their lives probably won't work. Let's give him some small favors when the time comes.
If there is really nothing he wants, just give him a little more dignity and freedom.
After Gu Shuo finished refining the elixir, Guang Qian called Gu Shuo to him: "I know you are not afraid of death, because at your age, you probably don't have many years to live."
Gu Shuo was stunned, and then realized that it was because of his old face that Guang Qian misunderstood him. He heard Guang Qian continue to say:
"I promise you that I can help you find treasures that extend your life, but you also know that such treasures are difficult to find."
Gu Shuo cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, senior."
It’s just that he didn’t take it seriously at all. With that kind of treasure, would Guang Qian give it to him?
I want to eat shit.
Looking at Gu Shuo's calm expression, Guang Qian also had a headache. Now he needs to use Gu Shuo, otherwise he would have eaten it in one bite. But since he can use it, Gu Shuo, an old man, doesn't have many years to live without fear of death.
You cannot use violence:
"Of course, you are not my slave, just my prisoner. I will give you a certain degree of dignity and freedom. If you do well, I can even give you the status of a guest in my territory."
Gu Shuo nodded, still looking like he was more sorrowful than heartbroken, and said numbly: "Thank you, senior."
A few days later.
Guang Qian's injury was eighty percent better, but Gu Shuo still hadn't figured out a way to transform the Yin Talisman, but Guang Qian took him back to Xifeng Pass.
Xifeng Pass is very large. As a great demon who has escaped from his body, Guang Qian has a large territory in Xifeng Pass. As long as it is centered on Guangling Peak, it has a radius of three thousand miles.
This day.
After Gu Shuo made the alchemy, he returned to his residence. A young girl named Ling Yinghong, a monk in the foundation-building stage, had surrendered to the demon clan and was sent to serve Gu Shuo. At this time, the meal that had been prepared was sitting on the steps waiting for Gu Shuo. return.
"Owner!"
Seeing Gu Shuo, Ling Yinghong hurriedly stood up from the steps. She was given to Gu Shuo by Guang Qian, and Gu Shuo was her master.
Gu Shuo nodded, and Ling Yinghong brought the food quickly. Gu Shuo sat down and said, "Let's eat together."
"Thank you, Master!"
Ling Yinghong sat down, lowering her head and picking up the rice.
Gu Shuo did not discriminate against her because she surrendered to the demon clan. As long as she had not done anything to harm the demon clan, Gu Shuo would not look at her differently. After all, everyone is a human race and they are all under the roof of the demon clan. Gu Shuo Although Shuo did not surrender to the demon clan, he thought in his heart that he was not much better than Ling Yinghong.
"Master, I heard that...you are not a slave?" Ling Yinghong asked cautiously.
"Yeah!" Gu Shuo nodded lightly.
"Ah? This is true!" Ling Yinghong looked surprised: "They didn't..."
"You mean they didn't eat me, or they blocked my cultivation and made me do slave work?"
"Ah? Ah!"
"Because I am an alchemist."
"Oh!" Ling Yinghong looked sad and lowered her head to eat.
Gu Shuo got up and returned to his room. Guang Qian still valued Gu Shuo very much. It was rare to have an alchemist, so he gave Gu Shuo dignity and a certain degree of freedom. Gu Shuo was not even searched. However, Gu Shuo was I still hid all the storage rings close to my body, and usually only used a storage bag on my waist. I took out the formation flag from the storage bag, set up the isolation formation and defensive formation, then took out the Liuhe Pan and started practicing.
Gu Shuo did not spend all his time practicing, because he knew that even if he cultivated to the perfection of the golden elixir, he would not be a match for Guang Qian. It would be impossible to escape from Xifeng Pass. If he wanted to do it, At this point, if there is any hope, it is to transform the Yin Talisman back. Therefore, he spent more time studying the transformation of the Yin Talisman.
The next day.
Gu Shuo still went to the territory designated for him by Guang Qian, which was the place where he made alchemy and where he taught the art of alchemy.
Guang Gan has selected some disciples. Among these disciples are not only surrendered human monks, but also young demon disciples. Moreover, demon disciples account for the majority. Guang Gan hopes that his demon tribe can master the art of alchemy.
Gu Shuo also teaches everyone, whether they are demon disciples or human slaves. He teaches them all, and teaches them with all his heart. Of course, he starts with identifying herbal medicines.
Gu Shuo found that both the human race and the demon race were very fast at identifying herbal medicines and mastering their properties. It was not surprising after thinking about it. Even if the human race did not know how to make elixirs, they had all done sect tasks, and basically they were able to identify herbal medicines. And mastering the properties of medicine, they all know it more or less. Although the demon tribe can't make elixirs, they eat herbal medicine directly and have an instinctive perception of herbal medicine.
In his free time, Gu Shuo would also wander around Xifeng Pass, and Guang Qian didn't mind. Gu Shuo would wander wherever he wanted, but it was impossible to leave Xifeng Pass anyway.
And one day while wandering around, I met Jian Shanhong.
