Song Jinshui was surprised for a moment, but he was not annoyed. Everyone has their own secrets. If he couldn't be honest with himself, he asked others to be honest with him. He smiled and chatted with Gu Shuo for a while, then stood up and left.
When he returned to his shop, there was a look of thought in his eyes.
He could see that Yue Tonghui, who was next door, didn't take Ai Qingye seriously at all. It was not a show, but a kind of self-confidence from the inside out. When he suggested that Ai Qingye would cause trouble for him, Yue Tonghui
Tong Hui's demeanor was like an elephant hearing that an ant was about to stretch its legs to stumble him.
It’s true disregard!
Sitting on the chair, he made himself a pot of tea and raised his eyebrows: "It seems that Yue Tonghui is not only powerful, but also has a simple background. But how come I haven't heard of such a person?
There is no way there are no traces at all, I have to inquire about him, I am becoming more and more curious about him."
middle part.
In a damp and dark forest, a black figure stood there. Tribulation clouds gathered in the sky, and then the sky exploded with white light, and thunder struck the figure.
"boom……"
"boom……"
"boom……"
When the thunder tribulation disappeared, the figure appeared, but it was not a normal person, but a person who was 80% solid.
The moon shines brightly!
Yue Tonghui's eyes were no longer completely cloudy, but were half clear. He stood there as if he was recalling something. Ever since the Ghost Master fell in the south and he was freed, he has been in a state of confusion. But he didn't
Thinking that not long after he was freed, he was locked by the heavenly tribulation. At that time, he was instinctively frightened. But he did not expect to survive the heavenly tribulation. This was because the ghost Taoist priest kept looking for souls for him, allowing him to swallow a lot of souls.
The reason was that it also happened to coincide with the war between the two clans, which resulted in an extra large number of souls, which allowed him to become profound and survive a catastrophe.
After passing through this catastrophe, he recovered a little memory. But only a little, very little. In the vagueness of his mind, he only heard two names that were very important to him. It seemed that it was the owner of these two names who changed
changed his life.
One is called Gu Shuo and the other is called Nie Xiaolou.
But he only remembered these two names, and could never remember the rest. He just instinctively wandered around the ruined battlefield, devouring countless souls. Then...
Then he was targeted by the Heavenly Tribulation again! After he survived another Heavenly Tribulation, his memory recovered a little, and he remembered that he met Nie Xiaolou in the middle. As for Gu Shuo, he didn't remember it.
So he came to the middle part, but the middle part was too big. In this situation, he did not dare to appear openly in front of the monks, and had no idea what he should do. He just instinctively continued to look for souls to devour. This was not for him.
It's not difficult. He can accurately sense where the soul is.
He is very lonely!
Because he felt that he was the only one in this world.
He can't find a living being like himself.
He has observed humans and is sure that he is definitely not a human. Although he looks very similar to humans, he is definitely not. He has also observed demons and is sure that he is not a demon either. He has even observed ghosts because he often devours ghosts.
.After becoming the leader of the clan, there are many ghosts in heaven and earth. However, most of the ghosts have dissipated.
Once a person dies, the soul will leave the body, and then it will be unable to withstand natural phenomena such as sunlight and strong winds, and will gradually dissipate between heaven and earth. Only a few souls will die due to various reasons, such as deep
Deep obsession, or the skills he practiced during his lifetime, or his soul was different from others during his lifetime, so it survived.
This kind of thing is called a ghost!
He understands very well, because now he eats ghosts even when he sees them. Those ghosts cannot defeat him.
The reason why he was able to survive was because of Kidodaozi. During the decades when Kidodao kept him warm with the ghost-nurturing gourd, he had become very powerful. He was able to come out of the ghost-nurturing gourd to fight in broad daylight.
Therefore, when he was freed, he didn't feel any discomfort. He became a muddleheaded evil ghost.
But with Kidozi's death, the runes that Kidozi left in his soul dissipated. He no longer had Kidozi's control over him, but he also lost Kidozi's cover for him.
good!
The ghost-controlling talisman not only controlled ghosts, but also had the effect of shielding ghosts and shielding the ghosts from heaven. Therefore, when the ghost-controlling talisman dissipated, he was discovered by heaven.
He is different from other ghosts. Most other ghosts are not strong enough. Once a ghost becomes strong enough, it will attract divine punishment.
good!
It is a heavenly punishment, a heavenly punishment that is more severe than a heavenly tribulation. Heaven does not allow powerful ghosts to appear between heaven and earth. If you want to remain in the world as a ghost, you must endure a heavenly punishment that is more severe than a monk.
However, Yue Tonghui got through it.
All this was thanks to Gu Daozi, who not only captured ghosts for him, but also gave him ghost-nurturing pills and various natural materials and earthly treasures that were helpful to ghosts. He regarded Yue Tonghui as his strongest
Helper. This gave Yue Tonghui a stronger foundation than other ghosts. It also allowed him to withstand the first heavenly tribulation. And each time the heavenly tribulation allowed him to recover some memories.
The ghosts he found were not strong enough and had never experienced catastrophe, so he felt that he was different from those ghosts.
This made him feel lonely, and he wanted to find Nie Xiaolou and Gu Shuo even more. What he thought was that maybe these two people could know what he was and who he was?
He felt that he was very similar to humans and very similar to ghosts. He seemed to be somewhere between humans and ghosts.
So what exactly is oneself?
After he experienced the catastrophe for the first time, he was no longer completely confused and began to think a little. Then he instinctively got close to the moonlight and hated the sun.
From that day on, he would instinctively absorb the moonlight every midnight, and every time he absorbed the moonlight, he would feel a slight change in his body. When he experienced the second heavenly tribulation, he found that he absorbed the moonlight.
Yuehua's speed doubled. And he also became stronger, and even his illusory body began to become solid.
This was the third time he had survived the catastrophe. At this time, he was standing in the dark and humid forest, and his memory had recovered somewhat. He remembered a place name.
Loucheng!
It seemed that he met Nie Xiaolou there.
He lowered his head and looked at his body, which was 80% solid and 20% illusory. His figure suddenly floated up and turned into a wisp of transparent smoke and flowed away.
A small town.
night!
A wisp of black smoke flowed through the night sky, and entered a shop through the crack in the door. The black smoke paused, and the figure of Yue Tonghui appeared. His eyes swept across the room, and he easily took out a piece of
He put on a black hooded cloak, took off a pair of shoes and put them on, and finally put a mask on his face, opened the door, and walked out, disappearing into the night.
Gu Shuo is receiving another visitor.
This visitor is the master of Tianmeng's Xitie Guandan Hall, a Xuan-level alchemist called Mu Yaoshi. At this time, the two people were sitting opposite each other, with a steaming teapot in the center.
"Master Mu is a rare visitor!" Gu Shuo picked up the steaming teapot and poured tea for Mu Yaoshi.
"Aren't you asking for something?" Mu Yaoshi said with a smile.
Gu Shuo poured himself tea again and put down the teapot: "What's the matter? Anyone who can help will definitely help."
"You may not know that they have a traditional event in Xitieguan, the Alchemy Competition. It is held every ten years. Next month is the competition month."
"Oh?" Gu Shuo was stunned for a moment: "I really don't know this. I haven't been able to leave the door these days."
Medicine Master Mu shook his head and laughed: "I guess that's the case with you. You are the purest ascetic monk I have ever seen who is devoted to alchemy."
Gu Shuo waved his hand: "But you want me to participate? OK!"
"Put me down!" But Mu Yaoshi shook his head repeatedly: "At your level, if you want to participate, what else can others compete with? I will just give you the first place. I want to ask you to be the judge."
"judge?"
"Yes!" Mu Yaoshi nodded and said: "You also know that our Xitie Guantan Hall only has three mystical masters. With you added this time, there will be a total of four judges. How about it?"
"OK!"
Gu Shuo agreed happily. In the past two years, he has benefited a lot from Xitie Guandan Hall. At first, he just paid it back. Later, as he gradually revealed his talent for alchemy, the Alchemy Hall attached great importance to him. Now,
All inheritances in the Alchemy Palace are open to him, and he can get a 50% discount on herbal medicines purchased in the Dan Palace. He has also become friends with the three mystical masters in the Dan Palace.
Therefore, Gu Shuo could not refuse, nor could he refuse.
"That's good!"
Seeing Gu Shuo's straightforward agreement, Mu Yaoshi also smiled happily: "This alchemy competition has you as the judge, which makes it a lot more interesting."
Gu Shuo waved his hand quickly.
Medicine Master Mu said again: "There is one more request."
"you say!"
"After the competition is over, you can refine a furnace of top-quality elixirs for them."
Gu Shuo laughed and said, "You are asking me to perform in public!"
"Yes!" Mu Yaoshi did not refute: "With you performing in public, more monks can choose the path of alchemy."
Gu Shuo thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay!"
Mu Yaoshi pondered for a moment, with a look of hesitation on his face. Gu Shuo glanced at him: "Are you still finished? Let me tell you, I won't agree to anything difficult."
"No!" Mu Yaoshi waved his hand and finally said with determination: "Friend Yue, we have conducted an investigation on you, do you mind?"
"do not mind!"
Gu Shuo shook his head. When he pretended to be Yue Tonghui, he was prepared in his heart. Now he is so provocative in the alchemy world. As the master of the Alchemy Palace, it would be abnormal if he does not investigate himself. But he doesn't care, if
If you're exposed, just be exposed. If the worst happens, just run away again.
At this moment, he was ready to escape.
There was a guess in his mind. Mu Yaoshi looked so hesitant. He must have found Yue Tonghui, right?
What he should be struggling with now is whether he is impersonating Yue Tonghui, or whether he has the same name and surname as Yue Tonghui?
When Mu Yaoshi saw that Gu Shuo didn't mind, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then doubts appeared in his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Yue, the result of our investigation is that you are a practicing madman and are not involved in alchemy. It is said..."
Mu Yaoshi glanced at Gu Shuo: "It is said that you admire Yun Xiao very much?"
Gu Shuo complained in his heart that it was Yue Tonghui who admired him.
but……
Now that I think about it, I suddenly feel some admiration in my heart.
Invincible road!
Yun Xiao, an old man, was invincible all the way, and was finally killed by three great tribulation monsters. But it was one against three, Yun Xiao was really invincible! His thoughts were a little complicated:
"Are you saying I'm taking the path of invincibility?"
"Yes!" Mu Yaoshi smiled awkwardly: "Friend Yue, I'm not telling you, this invincible road is not walked by humans at all, it is walked by gods.
Yunxiao is a god in the hearts of humans.
In the history of the human race, there is only one person like Yun Xiao, why do you think you dared to take the path of invincibility in the first place?"
Gu Shuo opened his mouth, trying to say it wasn't me. He finally closed his mouth.
There was curiosity in Mu Yaoshi's eyes: "It is said that your first failure on the invincible road was when you lost on the Beidi Ancient Road to Gu Shuo, whose cultivation level was not as good as yours at that time?"
"Yeah!" Gu Shuo nodded.
Mu Yaoshi consoled: "It is not unfair to lose to Gu Shuo. In terms of the level of monster, Gu Shuo is more monster than Yun Xiao. Although Gu Shuo's current cultivation level is not to overcome the tribulation, it is not as good as Yun Xiao. But Yun Xiao is as big as Gu Shuo.
At that time, his cultivation was not as good as Gu Shuo's.
That is a man who dares to kill the green snake and go to the wilderness alone. He dares to transform into a god and fight hundreds of battles... Hey, by the way, you have fought against Gu Shuo, what do you think of Gu Shuo?"
"Gu Shuo!" A look of contemplation appeared on Gu Shuo's face: "That man... is the only genius I have ever seen in my life. Not only does he have an extremely high understanding of cultivation, which is hard to match, but he also has an extremely broad mind and good character.
He is also extremely noble. When I look at the Tianxuan human race, no one can compare to him.
Sigh... It was after I lost to Gu Shuo that my path to invincibility was interrupted, which made me depressed for a while. It was during that period of depression that I discovered that I actually had the talent for alchemy."
"Hahaha..." Mu Yaoshi laughed happily: "I still have to thank Gu Shuo. If it weren't for him, Tianxuan would have lost an alchemy wizard. However, I really didn't expect your evaluation of Gu Shuo.
so tall."
"Not high, not high!" Gu Shuo waved his hands and said: "No matter how high the evaluation is, it is not high."
"Fellow Daoist Yue, you have finally solved the confusion in my heart. It turns out that you embarked on the path of alchemy for such a reason and with such a psychological journey. Originally, I have always been wondering, how can you, a person who takes the path of invincibility,
Will embark on the path of alchemy.
Everyone, please go and try it soon.]
correct……"
A gossipy look appeared on Mu Yaoshi's face: "The news I got is that the last place you appeared was Loucheng. It is said that you have become a Taoist couple with a casual cultivator named Nie Xiaolou. Where is your Taoist partner?"
Gu Shuo's expression condensed.
Nie Xiaolou?
Has he ever been with Yue Tonghui?
in this case……
Yue Tonghui is dead?
Otherwise, with the ability of the Tianmeng Dan Palace, they have all found Loucheng, and it is impossible that they can’t continue the investigation. Only Yue Tonghui is dead, and the body is still dead, which is more like Nie Xiaolou’s method
