Qingzhou Immortal Realm, Jiuqi Mountains, and Bifeng Mountains.
An old man with a white beard hurriedly walked down from the top of the mountain. His steps seemed slow, but after taking a slow step, he walked forward for more than ten meters.
The old man was Gu Wanhao, a foundation-building master of the Gu family of the Immortal Cultivation Family here. He looked happy. After walking to the foot of the mountain, he took a flying sword from a storage bag on his waist. The old man stood on the flying sword and walked away suddenly.
Only a faint red afterglow was left in the sky.
Gu Wanhao headed east, and in a quarter of an hour he arrived at the destination of his trip - Yuqing Town. Yuqing Town is where the ordinary people of the Gu family live. There are seven towns and villages like this, and the Gu family has a total population of enough
There are more than one million people. The reason why Gu Wanhao came to Yuqing Town is because a granddaughter he loves is about to celebrate his birthday. Gu Wanhao values family ties and has nothing urgent to do, so he will not miss his granddaughter's birthday.
Gu Wanhao flew directly to the courtyard of a house with blue tiles and red eaves. Unexpectedly, there happened to be a little maid hiding in the courtyard. The little maid looked at the old man who suddenly appeared in the courtyard. She was surprised and suddenly knelt down.
"Greetings to the Immortal! I didn't know that I didn't meet the Immortal from afar when he came. Please forgive me!"
Gu Wanhao touched his beard and said, "Don't panic, where is my son Gu Shan?"
The little maid didn't dare to raise her head, "The master is in the study."
The old man flicked his sleeves and disappeared.
In the study, a handsome-looking man wearing brocade clothes sat on a chair, beside him was a good-looking woman and a little girl about seven or eight years old.
Judging from the face of the little girl, it is easy to tell that she is the daughter of a man in rich clothes and a beautiful woman.
The family of three seemed to be waiting for someone. The man in rich clothes stood up from his chair, walked back and forth in the study several times, and then sat back on the chair with a worried look on his face.
"Master, don't worry, tomorrow is Huan'er's birthday." The beautiful lady comforted her, but she was obviously more nervous than the man in brocade, because the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn and deformed.
"Father, don't worry! Grandpa likes Huan'er the most. Grandpa will definitely come tomorrow." The little girl comforted her thoughtfully.
The man in golden clothes, Gu Shan, touched the top of his daughter's head and said, "Yes, father likes us Huan'er the most."
Then he sighed and said to the beautiful woman
"You and I are not blessed. Although we are the direct descendants of immortal cultivators, we have no spiritual roots and cannot cultivate immortality. As children, we cannot fulfill our filial piety in front of our parents, nor can we protect the family. All we can do is to spread branches for the family.
Ye, it’s just that you and I have been married for more than ten years, but none of our more than ten children has spiritual roots. In the final analysis, we as a couple just don’t have that luck.”
Spiritual roots are the foundation for cultivating immortals. Without spiritual roots, mortals will not be able to embark on the path of cultivating immortals in their lifetime.
"There is only one mortal with spiritual roots. Although you and I are immortal cultivators, it is not easy to give birth to a child with spiritual roots." The beautiful woman sighed. Her maiden name was Fang.
Her maiden name is Yurong, and there were immortal cultivators in her ancestors for three generations, but she did not have the good luck to embark on the road to immortality. Later, she married Gu Shan under the arrangement of her parents. The couple had a good relationship for many years, and they have two children.
He has a son and a daughter. Unfortunately, both sons have no spiritual roots.
The little girl Gu Huan looked at her parents, her round eyes rolled around, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Your vitality was severely damaged before you were pregnant with Huan'er, but after ten months of pregnancy, your health improved and you even achieved an innate state. You and I speculate that Huan'er may have spiritual roots, but this is just our speculation. If Huan'er doesn't even have spiritual roots,
Spiritual roots, how should you and I deal with each other?" Gu Shan sighed again. Gu Huan will be seven years old after this birthday, and can already test whether he has spiritual roots, but Gu Shan's heart is agitated.
People became anxious and worried.
"How to deal with yourself??! You are my son, Gu Wanhao! Your father is not dead yet! Who dares to gossip about you!!!"
The door to the study room was opened, and Gu Wanhao strode in and sat on the Taishi chair.
"Father!"
"Father!"
"Grandpa is here!" Gu Huan's eyes turned into crescents as she smiled, and she ran to Gu Wanhao and acted coquettishly.
"Grandpa, you're late! Huan'er has already finished lunch, but her father and mother are both obedient. They didn't eat well." Gu Huan complained to Gu Wanhao. Normally, her father and mother would scold her if she didn't eat well.
.
Gu Wanhao touched Gu Huan's hair and looked at his son and daughter-in-law
"Whether you have spiritual roots or not is a matter of destiny and cannot be changed by human power. However, blood and family ties are a fact that no one can change."
"You are my child. No matter whether you have spiritual roots or not, I will keep you safe. If you have spiritual roots, I will do my best to help you cultivate as an immortal. But if you don't have spiritual roots, will I ever ignore you? If Huan'er is
It’s a pleasure to have spiritual roots, but if Huan’er doesn’t have spiritual roots, wouldn’t she be your daughter?”
Gu Wanhao's words were sincere and sincere. Unlike other immortal cultivators, he valued family ties very much. Even if he couldn't live with his son due to clan rules, he would often visit him.
"What my father taught me was that I was too persistent. Regardless of whether Huan'er has spiritual roots or not, she is still my daughter and I will treat her well." Gu Shan looked ashamed.
"Grandpa, don't be angry with father, father is very good to us!" Gu Huan shook Gu Wanhao's sleeves, as if he was a little scared.
"Okay, this time I brought the spirit measuring ruler, and I just happened to test Huan'er's spiritual roots. It's a pity that the baby is only over five years old this year, otherwise the two siblings can test the spiritual roots together." Gu Wanhao said.
His son was the child of one of Gu Shan's concubines, and he was quite fond of Gu Wanhao.
Gu Wanhao took out a spiritual measuring ruler. He said it was a spiritual measuring ruler, but it was actually a thin plate similar to jade. There were eight jade strips of different colors on the thin plate, and there were scales engraved next to the jade strips.
The spirit measuring ruler can test whether a person has spiritual roots and is one of the must-have instruments for every family and sect.
At Grandpa's instruction, Gu Huan put his hand on the spiritual ruler.
After three breaths, five colors of gold, blue, green, red and brown bloomed on the spiritual ruler.
"Huan'er has spiritual roots!"
The couple was overjoyed. Although they had five spiritual roots, they could still embark on the path to immortality!
Having spiritual roots is the basis for cultivating immortality, but the height of spiritual roots determines the speed of cultivating immortality.
In layman's terms, the spiritual root is a converter. Immortal cultivators use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own use. If the spiritual root is wide, the speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will be faster. If the spiritual root is narrow, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy of heaven and earth will be slow.
If it is slow, it will take more time to achieve something.
Gu Wanhao looked at Gu Huan with a stern look on his face. The spirit measuring ruler was still testing. Five colors of spiritual light shone upward and slowly climbed up. It passed the six-inch scale at a glance.
Of course, it is also to protect Gu Huan and the entire Gu family.
"Huan'er understands. Huan'er will never mention this matter to others in the future." Gu Huan said seriously.
"Huan'er is so smart." Gu Wanhao was extremely pleased.
That night, Gu Wanhao and his family had a wonderful reunion dinner together. The ingredients provided by Gu Wanhao were not of high quality and even ordinary people could eat some.
Halfway through the banquet, Gu Shan suddenly remembered something about Gu Huan.
"Father, Huan'er has been having some strange dreams intermittently in the past six months. Huan'er's story is unclear, but she said that she seemed to be another person in another world in her dreams. She also asked a doctor, and the doctor
He said that Huan'er is in good health. These dreams had no impact on Huan'er, so he didn't send anyone to report it to his father. My father is well-informed and wonders if this matter will hinder Huan'er's path."
Gu Wanhao stroked his beard,
"You don't have to worry. I checked Huan'er's body and soul before when I tested her spiritual roots. There was nothing wrong with her. As for those strange dreams, I have read about them in an ancient book. In ancient times,
, there is great power that can bring memories to reincarnation. In the past tens of millions of years, there have also been monks who accidentally dreamed of becoming someone else living in another world or suddenly had more memories that did not belong to them, but these are not harmful to people."
Gu Shan and his wife felt relieved.
Gu Wanhao stayed at Gu's house for three days before preparing to take Gu Huan back to Bifeng Mountain. This is the rule of the family. In order to avoid losses, children who are detected to have spiritual roots must be brought back to the main peak of the family for instruction. Firstly, for protection
, the second is to make the road to immortality smoother in the future.
Of course, Gu Shan and his wife were extremely reluctant to leave, and Fang Yurong secretly wiped away her tears. This was her first daughter. She had raised her by her side since she was a child. Now she had to leave. Naturally, she felt uncomfortable, but she also understood that Gu Huan and Gu Wanhao were going to Bifeng Mountain together.
That's the right way.
"After going to Bifeng Mountain, Huan'er must listen to his grandfather's words and practice hard to protect the Gu family in the future. The most important thing is that in the future, when his parents are not around, Huan'er must pay attention to his own safety and get along well with the rest of the Gu family. Huan'er must
Do you understand?"
As Fang Yurong spoke, tears flowed more and more uncontrollably.
"Huan'er understands! If you don't cry, mother, Huan'er will come back to see you often in the future!" Gu Huan stood on tiptoe and wiped Fang Yurong's tears, and Fang Yurong held back her tears.
"Good boy, let's go with your grandpa!"
Gu Wanhao took Gu Huan onto the flying sword and disappeared from the sight of Gu Shan and his wife.
"Yurong is at peace, father will definitely take good care of Huan'er." Gu Shan comforted.
Fang Yurong nodded, "I understand. It's just that if you raise a child for a hundred years, you will always worry about ninety-nine. What's more, Huan'er will go to a place we don't fully understand."
With Gu Huan in hand, Gu Wanhao's flying speed with the sword became slower. The light red sword light was seen by the mortals in Yuqing Town, and they all knelt down and worshiped.
"Meet the Immortal!"
"It's an immortal!"
Only when the sword light faded away did the kneeling mortals stand up.
"The Immortal seems to have left our Yuqing Town?"
"It should be the immortals of my family who come to visit the mortal descendants, right? There are many immortal descendants in Yuqing Town." said a hunchbacked old man.
"It would be great if I could become an immortal!" someone sighed.
"Just you? You can't even beat your mother-in-law, and you still want to become a fairy?" The fat man standing next to him sneered.
"You're still talking about me! Fatty Zhuang! I don't think about who was dragged out of the tavern by his own wife's ears a few days ago?" the man retorted.
Some people also think: I saw the immortal today, and I will definitely win two more rounds of Pai Gow tonight!
A group of people were chatting and making trouble, but their words were full of respect for the immortal cultivators.
It took Gu Wanhao about a quarter of an hour to arrive, but it took less than half an hour to return. Gu Huan was flying in the air for the first time. Although he was a little scared, he didn't really cry, which also saved Gu Wanhao a lot of effort.
.
"Huan'er, can grandpa take you to see the clan leader?" Gu Wanhao said to Gu Huan.
Gu Huan came to Bifeng Mountain for the first time and was very curious about everything. She looked around and felt that her eyes were not enough.
Is this Bifeng Mountain? The scenery here is so beautiful! She has never seen such tall trees, and the atmosphere here makes people feel comfortable and peaceful, and the tension caused by the flight just now has been swept away.
.
After hearing Gu Wanhao's words, Gu Huan replied without thinking: "Huan'er listens to grandpa! Is the patriarch also Huan'er's grandpa?"
"Of course! The patriarch ranks ninth in the Gu family's generation, and is Huan'er's Ninth Grandpa. However, Huan'er still has to call Grandpa Ninth the patriarch to show respect. The patriarch will definitely like us Huan'er too!"
Gu Wanhao stroked his beard. He had already begun to imagine the clan leader's expression when he found out that Gu Huan had a spirit body.
At this time, Gu Wanchang, the head of the Gu family, was sitting on the futon. His left eyelid kept twitching today, but he never thought about where good things would come from.
"Brother Ninth, I'm back!" Gu Wanhao and Gu Huan announced outside Gu Wanchang's cave.
Gu Wanchang opened the formation in his cave, and his grandfather and grandson walked in.
Seeing Gu Huan, Gu Wanchang slapped his thigh and spoke before Gu Wanhao could say anything.
"Wait! Let me guess, this kid has spiritual roots and they are very good! Right?"
Gu Wanhao looked at Gu Wanchang with a look that said, "It's weird that I haven't told you how you know."
"That's right, that's wrong. Brother Ninth, please open the formation!"
Seeing Gu Wanhao being so solemn, Gu Wanchang suddenly calmed down and opened the formation in his cave.
"You can tell me this time, when the formations in my cave are fully activated, even the Zifu period will not be able to detect any news."
Gu Wanhao looked at Gu Huan and did not directly tell him about Gu Huan's spirit body.
"This is Gu Shan's daughter, my granddaughter, her name is Gu Huan."
Gu Huan stepped forward and saluted: "I have met the patriarch, Grandpa."
It's Gu Shan's child! Gu Wanchang is quite pleased. He has not formed a double cultivation partner with anyone. He has met Gu Shan many times when he was a child. Unfortunately, Gu Shan does not have spiritual roots and was sent to the mortal world after he was seven years old.
Villages and towns raised it.
"Good boy, you are Wan Hao's granddaughter. According to the order of the clan, you will be called Gu Changhuan from now on."
"Chang Huan understands." Gu Changhuan nodded, with a serious and serious face.
Gu Wanchang suddenly felt loving after seeing this. He found a bracelet from his storage bag and gave it to Gu Changhuan.
"This is the meeting gift from Grandpa Patriarch to Chang Huan. Changhuan must remember to come to Grandpa Patriarch's place to play more in the future!"
Gu Changhuan took the bracelet with both hands and smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.
Gu Wanchang chuckled to himself, this kid is still a little money-crazy.
"I also gave you a gift, twelfth brother, you can always say that your precious granddaughter has spiritual roots, right? Could it be that she has double spiritual roots?" Gu Wanchang asked.
Dual spiritual roots can also be called geniuses in today's world of immortality. Unless there are any accidents, dual spiritual root monks can cultivate to the Purple Mansion stage with a little effort and luck, and bless one side.
"This child has five spiritual roots." Gu Wanhao said slowly.
Five spiritual roots?
It is very common for the five spiritual roots to be inconsistent with the five elements, and is usually considered to be the worst spiritual root.
Gu Wanchang was a little disappointed, but seeing Gu Wanhao pretending to be serious, he always felt that something was wrong.
“This child’s five elements are even?”
If the five elements are even, it is still possible to build a foundation, and the five spiritual root monks are invincible at the same level, which is also a blessing for the family.
"Five spiritual roots, the spiritual roots of each attribute are nine inches and nine points."
"Nine-inch nine-points! Every attribute!" Gu Wanchang was shocked! This is really amazing. The spiritual roots of nine-inch nine-points are extremely broad. I am afraid that Chang Huan's cultivation speed in the future will be the same as that of some ordinary three-spiritual root monks.
Gu Changhuan looked at his grandfather. Every time he spoke, he only spoke half of the words. Was he trying to tease the patriarch?
"We, Chang Huan, have spiritual bodies!" Gu Wanhao took out the Heavenly Test Bead and handed it to Gu Chang Huan again.
The dazzling light appeared again, and Gu Wanchang stood up in excitement. He stared at Tianzizhu and Gu Changhuan, as if he had seen some peerless treasure.
"Okay, okay! Blessed by our ancestors! Tianxing my Gu family!" Gu Wanchang excitedly said three good words in a row, and then laughed loudly.
"But Ninth Brother, the Gu family doesn't have any exercises suitable for Chang Huan to practice." Gu Wanhao poured a bucket of cold water on Gu Wanchang's heart.
Gu Wanchang took a few steps back and forth, "Let Chang Huan practice the basic Qi training skills first. During this period, we old guys will search around and try to find a suitable Five Elements Kung Fu method for Chang Huan. The top priority now is to teach Chang Huan first."
Huan cultivates so that he can find out what kind of spirit body Chang Huan is in the future."
"By the way, who else knows about Chang Huan's spiritual body?" Gu Wanchang asked, no matter how careful you are about this kind of thing. A single oversight may lead to the destruction of your family.
"Only you and me and Chang Huan know that when I tested Chang Huan's spirit body, her parents were not present. I also warned Chang Huan not to let others know about this." Even in order not to leak the news, he
The clan leader was not informed in advance using a communication symbol.
"Twelfth brother, you have done a good job. Our Gu family is just a small family building a foundation. If this matter is leaked, Chang Huan and the entire Gu family may be destroyed."
Gu Wanchang is not an alarmist. Immortal cultivators can seize the bodies of monks with lower cultivation levels than themselves. When many high-level monks reach the point where it is difficult to break through in their cultivation, they will look for people with lower cultivation levels than themselves but with excellent qualifications in order to seek success in their career.
You can go further on the road to immortality. Fortunately, a monk can only seize the body once in his life.
Also because they were afraid that Gu Changhuan would be taken away from him, the Gu family could not send Gu Changhuan to the sect.
Although Qingzhou is in a remote location, it has abundant resources for cultivating immortals, and it is close to the territory of monsters. Many casual cultivators come here to fight for their lives and make a fortune. If the news is leaked, I am afraid that high-level casual cultivators will really seize Gu Changhuan's body.
Even if the human race doesn't attack Gu Changhuan, the demon race will not let a spirit person grow up under their noses.
After all, spiritual beings, no matter how useless they are, can successfully cultivate to the golden elixir stage. In Qingzhou, there are only two Yuan Ying ancestors. The golden elixir masters are the main force against the demon clan. If Gu Changhuan's spiritual body
If it also has benefits in combat, it will be a big threat to the demon clan.
So no matter what aspect you look at, the fewer people who know about Gu Changhuan's spiritual body, the better. It is best to cover up the news tightly, which is the long-term strategy.
