Volume 1: The Rebirth of the Owl Demon Chapter 385: The Owl Demon
White light shines in the room through the open window, and the breeze blows, blowing the green leaves of the green plant in the room.
Gu Qingyang stared at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but be stunned. Three days had passed by in a flash, but he seemed to have slept for a lifetime.
Three days is not a long time for an ordinary bone cultivator. The same is true for him before he fell into a deep sleep.
But in these three days, in that big dream that kept him conscious from beginning to end, he really lived his whole life again.
He was still lonely in that life.
He still tried to change the past, but the result was the same as he expected. He still failed to keep the person he wanted to keep.
Gu Qingying still died. Although he did better in that dream than in the previous two lives, this fact still cannot be changed.
And when he comes to the end of the road, he will inevitably face the war and once again become the big devil being punished by the whole world.
Nothing seems to have changed.
But he seemed to have seen through many things in this illusory third life through this extremely long dream.
He didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. When he was in a daze, he just thought that he should hit the road now.
One month was the time he had agreed upon with Shenlu Academy.
A month ago, he personally promised the two elders who had always treated him well that he would leave the academy and go out on his own to practice.
…
Thinking of this, Gu Qingyang's mood is no longer as chaotic as when he just woke up. Now he has already thought of many things.
Regarding the matter in the Mysterious Desolate Realm, the outcome of that matter seems to be a compromise between everyone. But other people in those forces will definitely not give up.
Human nature is complicated and often evil.
He knew very well that if it weren't for the constraints of interests, those people would only want to eat him alive and crush his bones into ashes.
Follow other people's killing plans to trap and kill everyone, gain the greatest chance of seizing the mysterious realm, and plant curses on all survivors.
Any one of these things would be enough reason for the bone cultivators of those forces to pursue him at all costs.
But no matter what, he has plenty of backup options.
His spell was indeed terrifying, and after the survivors returned to their respective sects, all but a few of the daring ones died for it.
The remaining people did exactly what he expected. They allowed the curse to spread like a plague.
In just a few days, most of the disciples of those forces were attacked and reduced to the same miserable existence as those survivors.
When his state of mind returned to calmness and he was no longer in a daze, it was only through his unique induction of the pattern of sin.
He could sense that there were thousands more owners of the Mark of Sin in this wild world.
And as he expected, those people were all more or less affected by the Mark of Sin, and either their temperaments changed drastically or they were in terrible pain.
However, this is only the reaction of most people after being infected with the Mark of Sin.
Among the many bone cultivators who have been infected with the Mark of Sin, there are actually some people who are very powerful and have really passed some tests.
In these people, he could even sense some power that was completely opposite to the power of sin.
This can indeed be considered a good sign.
But even for those people, their road is destined to be long. But after feeling this situation, Gu Qingyang was extremely happy.
He knows that human nature is complex and that the fundamental law of this world is still the jungle of the jungle. He knows that reality is reality and cannot be changed easily.
But after having a full life experience of three lifetimes, he still hopes that this world can change a little.
Even if this so-called change just adds a few more people to the world who have a kind heart or know what a kind heart is, for no reason.
He will also be satisfied with this.
However, even with such a change, the possibility of it affecting the entire world is extremely slim.
He knew how difficult it was, and he also knew how unreasonable such a thing was.
Therefore, he always regarded what he did as planting a seed.
From then on, he didn't care what the seed would grow into, whether it would become a grass or a big tree.
Only those who have truly passed the test of the Mark of Sin will more or less understand his true intentions.
But how many such people can there be?
In other words, how many people can still choose good after understanding what true good is? There are simply not many people like that.
What's more, what he was thinking about was the result that would only occur in the future. Now, it was not yet time to witness the result.
Therefore, the moment Gu Qingyang thought of those forces, he had already anticipated that he might face their pursuit in the future.
Moreover, if those forces still have scruples about the original agreement, then their people should also deliberately hide their identities.
Otherwise, a small chase might turn into a big dispute in the end.
However, what is supposed to come will eventually come, and what is supposed to happen will happen sooner or later.
When anticipating these things, Gu Qingyang's eyes were only clear except for the deep color.
"call--"
He stood up and left the bed. Feeling the fatigue that made people instinctively want to be lazy, Gu Qingyang simply stretched out.
At this moment, his breathing echoed within a hundred feet around his room. Many female cultivators were affected.
They opened their eyes one after another and ended their meditation, their beautiful eyes full of surprise.
Obviously, being neighbors with Gu Qingyang is not a particularly good thing. At least not at this moment.
However, after they were forced to wake up, they had no intention of settling accounts with Gu Qingyang. Their choice was to remain silent.
Gu Qingyang was definitely not someone they could mess with at will. Although it was said that Gu Qingyang was unreasonable in doing this, Gu Qingyang should have done it unintentionally.
Based on their understanding of Gu Qingyang, they can naturally get some benefits from Gu Qingyang under reasonable circumstances.
But is it really necessary to turn such a thing into reality?
Being unreasonable and unforgiving is something only those unruly ladies from aristocratic families would do.
They are bone cultivators and disciples of Shenlu Academy. They would never be able to do such a thing.
What's more, Gu Qingyang is already a bone cultivator that far surpasses his peers. His strength is obvious to all.
What good can such people do if they offend others?
Shenlu Academy is a place that advocates teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, but that is only for children like them who come from powerful families.
If they are not smart enough and strong enough, they will not even be qualified to live in this scholarly garden.
Not everyone comes from a powerful family like the Luo family, and not everyone has the support of a great leader.
For people like them who come from ordinary big forces, observing people's behavior and discerning the current situation are indispensable skills for them.
However, Gu Qingyang, who was the initiator of this small disturbance, never paid attention to this matter.
He was aware of this, because he could tell from the sound of his breathing that he had become a lot stronger.
But this is the world of bone cultivators. The law of survival is the law of survival here, and survival of the fittest is an eternal fact.
"It's time to go see him."
After a while, Gu Qingyang was no longer silent. He murmured to himself, then closed the window, closed the door of the room, and went outside again.
However, just when he had gone a long way, he stopped and looked around.
"It's Qingyang who disturbed everyone's practice. This is just a little thought. I hope you will accept it. Life has a long way to go. Let's meet again when we are destined."
Gusts of breeze appeared out of thin air with Gu Qingyang's voice. Before Gu Qingyang finished speaking, many windows in the nearby rooms kept opening.
However, when the sound of opening the window sounded, the Gu Qingyang who said these words had already disappeared.
And the gusts of breeze also sent pieces of grass to the windows of these female nuns.
Those blades of grass, at first glance, are very ordinary things, and they look no different from those ordinary blades of grass.
However, when the female nuns curiously picked up the blades of grass, their beautiful and calm faces were no longer calm.
That calmness was replaced by a look of shock, and the ecstasy that followed the shock. It was these blades of grass that made them remember him.
"What kind of person is this?"
A long, long time ago, these female nuns had such a problem in their minds. But at that time, they had no idea.
At that time, maybe they just thought that young man was special and powerful. Other than that, they had no other opinions about him.
However, today, they asked themselves the same question again.
But this time, the answer they got was no longer as clear as before.
It wasn't until they realized that Gu Qingyang had completely disappeared that they realized that the young man they felt they couldn't see through was gone.
However, from beginning to end, the only compensation Gu Qingyang gave them was the pure spiritual power contained in the grass blades.
And, a subtle sense of glory.
This time, Gu Qingyang did something very similar to when he left a mark of sin on the cultivators.
It's just that this time, what he leaves to others won't be the same as the last spell.
Ku Rong Yi, those people who can understand it are their good fortune.
If you can't understand it clearly, then naturally you can just pretend that the true meaning doesn't exist.
However, if someone can really understand it, then the Shenlu Academy or a certain Taoist tradition may have an extra strong person in the future.
"I urge you to drink another glass of wine,"
"The sacred deer in the south has no old friends."
Gu Qingyang has come a long way.
He walked out of Shuxiangyayuan and walked to the mountain gate of Shenlu Academy.
Originally, according to his idea, he wanted to see Wang Daolin first.
This person can be said to be a lifelong acquaintance with him, and he is willing to treat him as a Taoist friend, no matter in his past life.
Even during the turmoil of Shenhuang and his party, they always extended a helping hand to him who was still weak. He remembered this friendship and the cause and effect.
So, now that he was leaving, he still wanted to see him. However, he had just walked out of Shuxiangyayuan.
He had already noticed through his spiritual consciousness that Wang Daolin was waiting for him at the mountain gate. In this way, he naturally did not need to deliberately look for him.
However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived at the mountain gate, Wang Daolin, who was not far away, raised his wine glass high and laughed and recited poems to him.
"I urge you to drink another glass of wine——"
After hearing that poem and seeing the proud old man in front of him, Gu Qingyang couldn't help but feel a feeling he had never felt before in his heart.
He smiled sadly, thinking that in his previous life, he had never met such a person, let alone such a thing.
This feeling is very mysterious.
He couldn't explain it clearly, but he could invisibly remember the feeling brought to him by the person in front of him deeply in his heart.
However, his mood finally became excited. In just a moment, he quickly came to Wang Daolin.
"It's been a long time since I left, and I don't know when I can come back. But I can promise you that as soon as I come back, I will go see you."
"I want to see the rain in the Southern Territory, and I want to see the opponents in the Southern Territory. Your wine is very good, but it can only be truly good if I drink it with you."
"I know this is not an easy time for you."
"Those powerful guys must have put a lot of pressure on you. I will remember those people. When I come back, I will kill people."
"Take care, Old Man Wang."
"Hahahahahaha——"
One glass after another of farewell wine was raised by Gu Qingyang, and he drank them all like a cow. But this time, Gu Qingyang also changed his usual silent appearance.
He spoke many more words for the first time, all of which were about the present but not far away from the future. Wang Daolin, on the other hand, just smiled silently.
Old Monster Wang knew very well that based on his understanding of the young man in front of him, most of what the young man said at this moment was true.
That is, if nothing unexpected happens.
In the future, he will return one day.
One day, he will kill people as soon as he returns, as he said. Then he will come to see him immediately.
But in the end, when the wine was gone and the conversation was over, Wang Daolin didn't say much. He just glanced at the person in front of him silently, and then said:
"Take care of yourself."
After saying this, he saw the young man in front of him walking out of the gate of Shenlu Academy without looking back.
"I urge you to drink another glass of wine,"
"The sacred deer in the south has no old friends."
The young man gradually moved away, but the young man's voice resounded throughout the entire Shenlu Academy in an instant.
At the same time, Wang Daolin's eye circles were also slightly red. He was very moved and touched by this young man. He felt that this was the spirit of youth.
This kind of spirit is what old men like them lack the most.
The longer they live, the more things they need to calculate and consider.
Over time, they will have to live in the way they originally hated.
However, when he actually discovered that Gu Qingyang had disappeared like this, an impulse arose deep in his heart.
That kind of impulse drove him, making him want to leave the academy at all costs, and also want to travel to a wider world.
However, he is already old.
He still had something he needed to hold on to, so in the end, when he watched the young man with whom he had a heart-to-heart disappear completely.
He just raised the next glass of wine and swallowed it in silence. But at the next moment, there was a wind blowing in the academy.
"Huhu——"
Waves of breeze came from all directions, sweeping through the entire academy, blowing away the dust from this ancient building that had stood in Zhongzhou for many years.
Every blade of grass and every petal of a flower was swept up under the daylight, and wandered in the huge academy with the breeze.
"Brother, the wind is blowing."
At the same time, in that splendid and luxurious mansion, the woman in black was also mumbling to herself.
Beside her, the pale man smiled slightly and his eyes were red.
He didn't know that the woman in black with her back to him also had red eyes at this time. But her voice was not choked or fluctuated.
"The boy who once threatened to let me go and kill him is quite poetic..."
At the same time, in the academy, a certain demon nun who was troubled by the mark of sin was also looking at the fallen flowers and leaves in the wind and murmuring to herself.
"Dean, what do you think of that boy?"
At the same moment, the old man who was extremely respected by the entire Shenlu Academy also appeared next to Wang Daolin.
Wang Daolin, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. However, Wang Daolin only asked this question from beginning to end.
After this question, he fell silent again.
However, the old man whom he respectfully called the dean, at this moment gently caught the grass blades in the wind and smiled slightly:
"He could have been a hero."
"But he wants to be an owl."
"The devil's path is not easy to walk, but in a world like this, the devil can indeed go further."
"But he is in trouble now. Not everyone will be brave enough."
"Then we-"
"Let him go as he pleases. The academy can help him for a while, but it cannot help him for the rest of his life."
