Volume 1: The Rebirth of the Owl Demon Chapter 7 One Night in Chang'an Listening to the Plum Rain
The moonlight is hazy and the moonlight is like water.
The sea of clouds is billowing, and the sky and earth are lonely.
"Rumble--"
The scenery of clear wind and bright moon can indeed make people feel relaxed and happy.
But weather is the most unpredictable thing, and a moment of thunder is enough to make a sudden appearance of thunder.
Coffin Peak.
A place of practice for inner disciples and elders.
Wan Zhuhai.
It is a training place that only belongs to Gu Qingying.
The rain is like a waterfall, and the night is like a curtain.
Gu Qingying stood in front of the window, staring at the scene outside the window. The old man with white beard and hair was standing not far away.
Gu Qingying never made any sound, and the old man was just like her. The two of them were always silent.
A long time passed, and thunder sounded from time to time, shaking the entire bamboo forest. The sound of rain never stopped.
"Master, you shouldn't hide this from me."
"I know he's having a hard time."
Finally, the eleven-year-old girl spoke. However, her two short sentences already made the old man ashamed.
The old man didn't know that the brother and sister he took in had always had a mysterious connection with each other.
Mortals call that connection blood.
Bone repair calls it blood source power.
No matter what this connection is, now, Gu Qingying has used it to feel Gu Qingyang's state.
That's why she said such things.
"Disciple Qingying, I too——"
"Don't say anything more."
"Master, I don't want this to happen again."
"You should know that if nothing else happens, my brother is destined to be like this in his life."
"If he can't rise, then I hope he can spend the rest of his life happily."
"I believe you understand what I mean."
"I see."
…
The old man Tianshi touched his beard and stared at Gu Qingying. At this moment, he was sighing that his apprentice was worthy of being born with demonic bones.
If other bone cultivators want to join the path of demons, they will inevitably have to walk a long way before they can have a Tao heart full of demonic nature.
Moreover, even if those possessed by demons practice hard for a lifetime, they may not have the most perfect and flawless demonic minds.
But now, in Gu Qingying, who is only eleven years old, he seems to have seen the shadow of a future giant of magic.
Eleven years old.
Being able to become a bone cultivator at this age can already be said to be an outstanding talent. And Gu Qingying possesses the eternal true demon bone.
"call--"
The old man Tianshi closed his eyes and breathed out gently. In his mind, the scene of Gu Qingying entering the sect vaguely emerged.
He still remembered the shocked expression of his sect leader and senior brother, as well as the jealous expressions of other old monsters in the sect.
"This little girl is still young and may not be able to control this supreme demonic bone."
"My peak disciples have extraordinary minds, and I also have a method of grafting life bones."
…
On that day, the entire top management of the Hanging Coffin Ancient Sect was shocked by Gu Qingying alone. It was an unprecedented storm, and it affected everyone.
And Old Man Tianshi was the only old devil with a red face among the many old devils. At that time, he was also worried.
After Gu Qingyang tested his talent, he had already noticed Gu Qingying's killing intent.
He knew that it was a murderous intention directed at other sect members, and it was extremely pure.
This was exactly what he was worried about. He was worried that Gu Qingying would still have no sense of belonging to the Hanging Coffin Gu Sect until the end.
Therefore, from the first day the brother and sister entered the sect, he had already started to make arrangements.
He wanted Gu Qingyang to die early.
He wanted Gu Qingying to grow up quickly.
There are too many things he wants to do.
And tonight, when the rain was pouring, he thought he saw the answer.
Since joining the sect, Gu Qingying has chosen to remain silent most of the time.
Her life consists of nothing but spiritual practice.
And tonight, she finally spoke.
Although the person she mentioned was still Gu Qingyang.
But in the eyes of the old man Tianshi, this is already a good start.
After all, Gu Qingying has already expressed a maturity that is inconsistent with her age.
Old Man Tianshi understands that it seems that his disciple has been in the sect for a long time.
But in fact, such a period of time is nothing to a bone repairer.
In such a short period of time, Gu Qingying had already undergone such changes.
Then, what about some time later?
Thinking of this, the old man Tianshi couldn't help but smile.
He felt that now he could wait for the fruits he expected.
"Maybe, I really am worrying too much."
After muttering something silently in his heart, the old man Tianshi left the room.
At that moment, he really felt a little regretful.
He felt that he should not set up the Luoye Mountains for Gu Qingyang.
He originally thought that Gu Qingying's mind would be like those of her peers.
That's why he wanted Gu Qingyang to die early in order to accelerate Gu Qingying's growth.
But now it seems that under the influence of the eternal demon bone, Gu Qingying's mind is obviously changing at an extraordinary speed.
And in this way, if Gu Qingyang died early as he planned, it might be counterproductive.
"Brother, Ying'er misses you."
Old Man Tianshi didn't know that after he left this place, Gu Qingying focused his gaze on a drop of rain.
Gradually, her vision became blurred.
She came outside the bamboo house.
She stood tall in the rain.
She used to like rain the most.
But now, she is in pain and confused.
Her tears were mixed with the rain.
Eventually, they fell into this land together.
Gu Qingying, on the other hand, practiced in the bone-chilling cold brought by the rain.
Waves of terrifying spiritual power burst out from her body.
Who can imagine that this is the power that a bone cultivator in the Life Bone Realm can unleash?
This power is really strong.
It's a pity that at this level, Gu Qingying cannot be freed.
In her opinion, this place is the same as the Gu family.
Even, this place is not as good as the Gu family.
In the Gu family, at least she can still be with Gu Qingyang.
However, here, this should be an extremely common thing, but it is impossible to happen.
The reason why she spoke like that just now was because she knew that such words were what Old Man Tianshi wanted to hear.
In fact, the idea of the old man Tianshi is also correct.
She was indeed influenced by the bones of the eternal demon, and she had a demonic nature in her mind.
But Old Man Tianshi thought of one thing wrong.
That means she will forget her brother.
In her heart, her brother's weight has far exceeded her own.
She will never forget that person.
If there is really a taboo in her heart, then this taboo cannot be herself.
This taboo can only be attributed to Gu Qingyang.
"Rain is born in the sky and dies here."
"Although it is a dead thing, it still has a way of life."
The rain has not stopped and the night has not ended.
Gu Qingying held a piece of animal bone in her arms. She was soaked in the rain, and at this moment she understood the content carved in the animal bone.
This is what Gu Qingyang left to her, and it is also one of the real reasons for her rapid mental maturity and stability.
When they parted ways, Gu Qingyang gave this thing to her.
She originally thought it was just to leave a thought.
But it was only later, after truly practicing, that she understood the meaning of this thing.
In the past few years, many of Gu Qingyang’s spiritual insights have been recorded.
Although this small animal bone cannot record all of Gu Qingyang's insights into eight thousand years of time.
But even if only a part of it is burned, it is the understanding of cultivation by the only emperor-level expert in the whole world.
This is definitely a unique treasure.
Except for Gu Qingyang and Gu Qingying, no one knows its value.
But now, Gu Qingying recalls the past and misses her old friends. With this sentiment, watching the rain at night, she has a different state of mind.
"Born in the earth, reincarnation of rain."
"It's hard to think about it, but the memories are sharp."
"The reincarnation of rain is also a shadow of life."
"The place where my heart is at peace is my destination."
"One sword is desolate, and you will not fall into reincarnation."
"One sword in anger can cut off eternity."
"The true devil is immortal, and I am not alone in my path."
…
Gu Qingying will never forget it.
She could not forget that her brother would protect her from the wind and rain when it poured down.
She could never forget that her brother would try his best to get warm porridge and rice for her.
The Gu family is so scary, but in that place, her brother's back is her home.
Gu Qingyang could endure all the humiliation for her and the cold looks from the Gu family.
However, Gu Qingyang never let her suffer even the slightest injustice.
With her brother like this, what else could she ask for?
The insights carved into the animal bones are affecting her, giving her a new understanding of spiritual practice.
And in her heart, her obsession with protecting Gu Qingyang also changed.
It's like a seed.
Gu Qingying's heart is the soil, and it uses it as soil to grow crazily.
Gradually, Gu Qingying saw clearly.
She saw a sword and a person.
That's her sword.
That person is her.
There is a record on that animal bone:
"Offense is always the best defense."
She will never allow anyone to harm Gu Qingyang, never!
So what she needs is a sword, not a set of armor, not other weapons.
The sword is the sharpest and most lethal.
Use the meaning of rain as the front and reincarnation as the body.
The supernatural power she realized is called:
"Rainfall Reincarnation Technique"
The sword skill she learned is called:
"One sword cuts through eternity"
She also understood the method of practice:
"The Sutra of the Immortal Demon"
With the realization of these three magical powers, Gu Qingying's aura began to change crazily like thunder on the ground.
However, just when Gu Qingying was about to break through to the second realm of bone cultivation, the "Bone Sacrifice Realm", she remembered something.
"Qingying, don't be eager for quick success."
That was Gu Qingyang's advice. When she remembered it at this moment, she suddenly woke up. Then, her breath dropped again.
And this is her choice.
"We will definitely meet again."
Rainwater gathered in the palm of Gu Qingying.
Not long after, there was a long sword made entirely of rainwater in her hand.
When Gu Qingying murmured to herself, the sword in her hand was also pointed at the sky.
However, the sky is dark and the heaven and earth are gloomy.
With this sword of hers, all sounds were silenced.
Even the rain seemed to have stopped for a moment.
At the same time, in the Luoye Mountains, Gu Qingyang was also alone, standing in the dark rain.
This time, he didn't have much understanding of the rain. All his energy was concentrated on the round bone in his hand.
In the eyes of others, this thing may be just a stone.
However, in Gu Qingyang's eyes, it was just a piece of bone.
Gu Qingyang extremely hoped that this bone still retained the power of the bone cultivator.
However, he still hasn't got the real answer.
That's why he decided to investigate.
And at the next moment, in a trance, he seemed to realize some kind of opportunity and finally wanted to activate some kind of power.
A ray of cold light fell from the sky.
Gu Qingyang recognized it as sword light.
However, this sword light is not hostile.
From the moment it appeared to the moment it disappeared, the sword light seemed to come from him. When he tried to break the bones in his hand, it broke them for him.
"this--"
Seeing such a strange scene happening so directly in front of his eyes, Gu Qingyang couldn't help but feel silent.
However, before Gu Qingyang had time to think about it, streams of majestic spiritual power had already filled the air along the cracks in the bones.
He did not dare to neglect and immediately started refining with all his strength.
