Gusu Zhongqi heard this and sighed: "You and I are other people's chess pieces. When they are useful, they will be placed on the chessboard. When they are useless, they will be removed."
Wei An arched his hands and said solemnly: "Thank you, senior, for telling me these inside stories, otherwise, I would die without knowing how I died."
Gusu Zhongqi shook his head and said: "It's nothing, we are just in the same boat. Anyway, the mission has failed, and you will know the inside story sooner or later."
Wei An paused for a moment and said slowly: "This junior may not be around for long, but I still want to ask you a question about spiritual practice."
"Practice? Do you still have the mind to practice now?"
Gusu Zhongqi laughed dumbly and became interested, "Okay, okay, you can ask, I will tell you everything I know."
Wei An said seriously: "What this junior wants to ask is, the specific method of spiritual cultivation?"
Gusu Zhongqi's expression changed and he said in surprise: "What, do you want to practice spiritual cultivation?"
Wei An continued: "I am now a master of calligraphy, so I should meet the entry requirements for spiritual cultivation."
"Having said that."
Gusu Zhongqi pointed to his head, "Spiritual practice is not only extremely difficult, but also full of unpredictable dangers. If you are not careful, you may go crazy or even be brain dead."
Wei An spread his hands and said, "But haven't the Gusu clan been practicing spiritual cultivation for a long time? Aren't you afraid of danger?"
Gusu Zhongqi waved his hand and said: "Of course we are also afraid of danger, but do you know what the key to spiritual cultivation is?
In a word, you can't live without going crazy!
You must know that anyone who engages in spiritual practice must have the courage and determination to become possessed!
Among those calligraphers, painting masters, and piano masters, which one doesn’t look crazy? They are walking on the edge of madness, testing the boundaries of obsession.
Only in this way can the spirit transform!
As for you, you have already practiced martial arts, so you must do your best to get rid of the demons in your heart, and you must not become a demon."
He spread his hands and said: "You and we are taking two completely opposite paths. It is impossible to have both."
When Wei An heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he cupped his hands and said: "I understand, junior. I wonder if you have any secrets on spiritual cultivation. Can you sell a copy to this junior? Junior, I still want to give it a try!"
After hearing this, what else could Gusu Zhongqi say? He waved his hand and said: "There is no need to sell it. The secret method of spiritual cultivation is actually not a secret. On the contrary, we hope that it can be popularized and allowed to be practiced by countless people. The more people, the better."
good."
He stood up, took out a yellow book from the bookshelf, handed it to Wei An, and introduced: "This "Long Yuan Zang" is a mysterious refining method summarized and condensed by the ancestors of my Gusu clan. You can take it and read it."
Look, but I really don’t recommend you try to practice.”
Wei An accepted it and said happily: "Thank you, senior."
After a while, he walked out of the study, holding the "Long Yuan Zang" in his hand, and returned to the other courtyard with brisk steps.
"Friend, where have you been?"
Beside the fountain, a skinny old man was lying lazily, basking in the sun, looking very comfortable.
Wei An looked at Xiao Jiuwu, walked over, and said calmly: "Xiao Jiuwu, isn't there a running water banquet today? Why didn't you go to eat?"
"You think I'm a pig!"
Xiao Jiuwu stroked his belly, smacked his lips, picked his teeth and said, "I've been eating all morning. Take a break and eat again in the afternoon."
Wei An understood, pointed to the pendant around the skinny old man's neck, and asked, "What is that?"
"You mean this?"
Xiao Jiuwu picked up the pendant and shook it. It was just a wooden sign with four words engraved on it.
ninety-six
Fifty-nine
Xiao Jiuwu introduced himself: "When I was a child, I grew up with a girl, and this was a gift she gave me. My name is Jiuwu, and my favorite thing to do is Liujiu, hehehe, young
People, do you know what the Six-nine Styles are?"
Wei An stretched out his hand and said, "Let me see."
Xiao Jiuwu took it off and handed it to Wei An, saying, "It's just a wooden sign. You don't think this is some kind of treasure, do you?"
Wei An looked at it for a while and found that the texture of the wooden sign had traces of erosion over time, and it seemed that it was hundreds of years old.
He returned it to Xiao Jiuwu and said seriously: "It's been a few years, you must like that girl very much."
Xiao Jiuwu was stunned for a moment, then pouted and said, "You know nothing about whether you like it or not."
[Year 1: The mysterious old man left Gusu Castle and went to Qizhou Royal City. After he swallowed a pill, he suddenly lost control and turned into a demon, massacring nearly 100 million people in Qizhou Royal City. 】
[Then, the mysterious old man fell into a deep sleep.]
[The sixth year: The mysterious old man woke up, he sighed and destroyed the wooden sign. 】
[End of simulation]
"Elixir, out of control, demon..."
Wei An was shocked. At this moment, he found the thief who stole the white porcelain bottle.
It’s Xiao Jiuwu!
The thief is right in front of you!
"Xiao Jiuwu took the imperial elixir, but lost control and turned into a demon!!" Wei Anxin felt his head tremble.
The imperial elixir was given to the old emperor.
If that's the case, wouldn't the old emperor also want to...
etc!
Wei An's pupils suddenly shrank, and he carefully looked at Xiao Jiuwu in front of him, and a terrible thought came to his mind.
Ninth Five!
Could it be, the Nine-Five Supreme?!
Xiao Jiuwu is the old emperor himself!!
Wei An's scalp was numb. He slowly sat down, took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Jiuwu, let me tell you something, I might die."
Xiao Jiuwu turned his head and asked: "You are so young, you actually start to worry about when you will die? You are asking for trouble!"
Wei An continued: "I was sent by the Pantian Sect to celebrate my birthday, but unfortunately, I lost the gift."
"Lost?"
Xiao Jiuwu immediately clapped his hands and laughed: "Hahaha, you deserve it if you don't lend me a gift!"
Wei An said seriously: "After I lost the congratulatory gift, I was told that the congratulatory gift was not a congratulatory gift at all, but a royal elixir dedicated to the old emperor."
"..."
Xiao Jiuwu's expression changed slightly, he looked deeply at Wei An, and then slowly sat up straight.
At this moment, his demeanor completely changed, and a sense of oppression emerged spontaneously, but it was calm and breezy, leaving no trace.
"When did you guess my identity?" Xiao Jiuwu asked calmly.
Wei An lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "Not everyone dares to call themselves nine or five."
The corner of Xiao Jiuwu's lips curled up in amusement: "I call myself Jiuwu openly, but it's a pity that no one noticed that there is a problem, except you."
Wei An continued: "Your acting was so realistic that you fooled everyone."
Xiao Jiuwu shook his head and said: "Human beings are superficial creatures and often can only see the surface. Even if they meet the most noble people in the world, they are all blind."
Wei An paused for a moment and then said: "The imperial elixir is the product of the bloodline forbidden technique. The higher the bloodline level, the greater the risk of losing control. I guess that after taking the imperial elixir, you will most likely lose control."
Xiao Jiuwu looked directly into Wei An's eyes and said word by word: "I know..."
