Chapter 168: Counting carefully... there seem to be three
Over there, the team of the Chiyun Sect was still waiting. Shen Jiangli took a souvenir glance at He Gu's waist. Without further delay, she said goodbye in a few words and returned to the old woman's side.
He Gu watched them leave quietly.
He felt more at ease when his fiancée was accompanied by an elder from the Chiyun Sect. When the figure disappeared completely, he turned around and chose another direction to continue searching for the elixir.
The time in the ruins does not seem to be divided into day and night. Of course, it may be that the span of change is too long and it is not easy to distinguish.
Gradually, the unknown areas have been basically explored, and not only the heavenly elixirs, but also the earthly elixirs are becoming increasingly difficult to see.
Conflicts among cultivators over competition have become more frequent as a result. There are sounds of spiritual collisions everywhere, and the scale of the battle has become more intense as personnel from all parties have regrouped.
With eight heaven-grade elixirs in his possession, he weighed the pros and cons, slowed down and stopped participating, instead wandering around casually.
A period of time that was estimated to be equivalent to half a day in the outside world passed, and finally there was movement in the ruins.
White lights fell from the sky and enveloped everyone, and the next moment everyone was randomly teleported out.
…
Beside a gurgling stream in the Hengduan Mountains, a sika deer lowered its head to drink water.
At a certain moment, the air twisted and tore a thin crack.
Soon, He Gu's figure was squeezed out.
The sika deer, which was quenching its thirst, was disturbed, turned around and ran away, disappearing without a trace in a flash.
Bathed in the warm afternoon sunshine, He Gu felt relaxed after seeing the sun again, and he couldn't help but stretch.
The ruins and his party gained a lot. Not only did they obtain a powerful and practical secret skill, but they also completed their current state in one step, and also resolved the fate of their fiancée. He was very satisfied.
After briefly explaining the situation to the demon rat in the escapist pearl in the storage bag, He Gu immediately jumped up to a high place to find out the direction, and then flew non-stop towards the outside of the mountain range.
The final teleportation of the ruins was not based on the location of the entrance. When he left the Hengduan Mountains and walked into the night into a nearby city, he determined his location.
Huangcheng is one of the three ancient cities closest to the Hengduan Mountains. It is also the most remote and northern human gathering place in the Northern Immortal Territory.
At this time, a large number of cultivators who came from the relics of the Venerable gathered inside, and the crowd was very lively.
After all, people are still social beings. No matter how lonely they are, they still need fireworks to relieve themselves. He Guzhi felt extremely warm.
The prophecy about Kong Rou's inheritance opportunity disappeared after he sent the little girl into the cliff of Xuejian Mountain.
Not worrying about her current situation, he couldn't resist the thought of relaxing, so he rested hastily in the city for the night, and left the city before dawn the next day to rush towards her.
Flying swords all the way, he finally arrived at Xuejian Mountain at dusk two days later.
He landed in front of the cliff when he left. With a little anxiety, he called out to Xiaorou loudly towards the cliff.
"Brother He!"
Soon, a petite and cute figure hurried out of the cliff filled with infinite joy.
All of them threw themselves into his arms.
The delicate body full of youthfulness slammed into He Gu's chest. The beauty of the moment caused ripples in his newly settled state of mind.
Holding back his urge to move, he asked with concern about the little girl's current situation.
"How's it going? Are you okay during this time?"
The little girl nodded heavily and quickly shared her results.
"Brother He, Xiaorou has reached the third realm now, and she has learned many, many, very powerful ways to beat people up!
By the way, there is also this sword."
Speaking excitedly, Kong Rou raised a small fleshy hand and shook it briefly. The next moment, an almost transparent and slender glazed long sword appeared out of thin air.
Like a child asking for credit, she excitedly introduced: "Brother He, look, it can get bigger and smaller like this."
As the little girl finished speaking, the glazed sword began to change flexibly, sometimes growing longer, and sometimes shrinking to the size of a palm, which was quite magical.
This was the first time that He Gu saw with his own eyes a weapon that could change its form at will. Especially when he noticed that the spirit sword controlled by Kong Rou was not taken out of the storage bag, he immediately realized how precious it was.
Only magic weapons with the Baoling level can be contained in the body, and even the flying sword he owns does not have this.
The Dark Phoenix Spear that he secretly gave to his fiancée earlier was also a magic weapon of this level, and he had confirmed it when he got it.
Really happy for her, he gently stroked the little girl's hair.
Feeling extremely comfortable, Kongrou's big eyes narrowed slightly.
After enjoying it carefully for a while, she did not forget to explain: "It's called the Wind Spirit Sword, and it was the one who spoke before.
Xiaorou has taught it well, and it will be obedient in the future and will never lose its temper with Brother He again.
It can also fly, and Xiaorou can fly like a bird in the future."
He Gu couldn't help but smile: "Xiaorou is so sensible and did a great job!"
The little girl was extremely satisfied to be praised by her beloved, and she was very happy at the moment.
Next, with some questioning from He Gu, she told all her experiences after entering the cliff.
It turns out that the so-called Shijian inheritance includes a complete set of Taoist cultivation techniques, exercises, body techniques, Taoist skills, and secret techniques. Together with the Wind Spirit Sword, it can be said to cover all the needs in the process from the First Realm to the Ninth Realm.
There even seems to be unopened content later involving the Immortal Realm!
In other words, in the future, the little girl only needs to follow the steps by herself and concentrate on practicing, and there is no need for him to worry about it at all.
Compared with what he gained from the relics of the Venerable, He Gu was more happy with Kongrou's gain this time.
A matter that he cared about unexpectedly was solved, and his mood immediately improved.
Having already met Kong Rou, at this time I also missed my junior sister and master at home, and wished I could return to Wusu Peak immediately.
He Gu summoned the flying sword again, lowered his head and said with a warm smile: "Let's go back. Your sister Lin will definitely be happy for you if she finds out."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hearing this, Kong Rou, who was playing with the small sword in his hand with great interest, immediately put the Wind Spirit Sword in his body into his body.
She was afraid that her beloved would let her fly back in the air with the spiritual sword she had just obtained.
She tried her best to pretend that she didn't think too much, and with a sweet hum in her mouth, she hugged He Gu's body tightly with her little hands.
The big, fluttering eyes looked away nervously.
The poor acting skills made He Gu laugh slightly.
Without trying to point it out, he held the little girl's soft waist and jumped onto the flying sword, then drove the sword away from Xuefeng Mountain.
Returning like an arrow, the two of them did not stop to rest along the way, flying towards Wugou Peak day and night.
What surprised He Gu was that the closer he got to the Wuzong area, the more cultivators were traveling in the same direction on the road.
And most of them are not just one or two people traveling together, but teams of various forces in the Northern Immortal Territory, and the leaders are all strong men with considerable strength.
He was walking in a hurry, as if he was doing something urgent.
Realizing that something was going on, He Gu sped up his flight speed.
In the early morning of the third day, a holy mountain peak shrouded in clouds and mist gradually appeared in their sight.
The joy on the little girl's face gradually grew.
Seeing the peace and tranquility on Wugou Peak, He Guxuan's heart relaxed and he returned to his true self.
Remembering the rules of Wugou Peak, he quickly said hello to the demon rat in the secret bead in the storage bag in advance.
"God, I'm about to return to Wujin Peak. In the meantime, I can't let you out. I'm sorry."
The demon rat said angrily: "I know, I know, you are such a fool, what kind of place is that, even if you ask me to come out in a big sedan chair, I don't even want to come out!"
Also, if there is nothing important from now on, don’t ask me to show up in the big world. A damn thief who doesn’t care about me will have to keep an eye on me again, and the feeling of thunder will not be pleasant."
As she said it, she kept cursing the way of heaven like an old woman, saying something was unfair or immoral, so she just blocked it out.
Before he could lower his flying sword, a delicate and beautiful figure stepped across the threshold and hurriedly walked out of the Bamboo Pavilion Hall in a few steps.
Looking at the sweetheart in mid-air who was longing for him day and night, Lin Bian'er's dark eyes suddenly became stunned as he stood at the door, and his thin lips pursed again and again.
Feeling ups and downs, He Gu felt a sense of love and pity in his heart and smiled warmly in return.
"Junior sister, I'm back."
Lin Bian'er looked at him straightly.
"Sister Lin!" The moment she landed, Kongrou immediately broke away from He Gu's arms and ran over happily.
In this world, apart from her late grandfather and her beloved, Lin Ji'er is the third person who occupies the most important position in her heart.
Only then did Lin Qi'er move her eyes away, couldn't help but smile softly, and naturally took Kongrou's hand close to her.
Noticing the change in the little girl's temperament, she took a closer look and was slightly surprised.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Sister Xiaorou is getting more and more beautiful."
He Gu also agrees with this. After the baptism of Shijian inheritance, Kongrou has indeed become a lot cuter.
Kongrou suddenly felt a little embarrassed when she was suddenly praised.
She didn't even think about it and replied sincerely: "I still can't compare to Sister Lin. Brother He prefers someone as beautiful as Sister Lin!"
He Gu even liked hearing this. If the person involved hadn't been here, he would have wanted to give the little girl a thumbs up.
Hearing this, Lin Bian'er deliberately glanced sideways at the senior brother who was walking towards him, but shook his head slightly.
His tone was a bit disapproving: "If you really liked each other that much, you wouldn't fall in love with each other.
If I count carefully... there seem to be three of them."
There are more than three...
He Gu felt extremely guilty and sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.
He suddenly stopped thinking about going forward and hugging her.
"Besides Sister Lin and me, is there another one..." Kongrou didn't quite understand, and her little head began to think seriously.
Seeing this, Lin Bian'er gave a sweet smile.
He raised a slender hand and pinched the little girl's slender face.
He joked: "Did sister Xiaorou count herself among them so quickly? Sister just said it in a hurry, and she thought one more person would be counted."
Only then did she realize that she had spilled the beans, and Kongrou's face turned red.
"Sister Lin, Xiaorou actually..." Unable to say any more, the little girl twisted her body and buried her face in her arms shyly.
Lin Bian'er smiled.
As if she was joking, but also as if she was telling the truth, she comforted softly: "Okay, okay, sister didn't say no, but of course sister Xiaorou's words can be considered.
Maybe people just want you, the new one, and they will get tired of the old clothes when they have new clothes. This is human nature."
If this is allowed to continue, He Guzhen doesn't know what kind of harsh developments will follow.
Anyway, he had already been seen by his junior sister, and it seemed that there was a real possibility of being accepted. He decisively seized the opportunity and acquiesced in his feelings for Kong Rou.
Stepping forward, he spread his arms and gently hugged the two girls into his arms.
Kong Rou was stunned for a moment.
His eyes glanced at the senior brother who was hitting the snake with a stick, and the corners of Lin Qier's mouth were slightly deflated.
In the end, I gave him some face and maintained my posture.
But as a price, she reached out and secretly pinched her senior brother's waist.
He Gu did not use his spiritual power to resist, and was caught off guard. He Gu suddenly gasped in pain.
My only thought is that junior sister's health is getting better and better, and now she has the strength of a normal person.
This is a good sign!
He carefully suppressed the spiritual power around her waist to prevent them from triggering the automatic protector and injuring her hand.
Pain and happiness.
It's just a little pain, and it's nothing compared to the historic breakthrough he has achieved now.
After twisting for a moment, Lin Qier finally relieved her anger and immediately let go of her hand.
Jiaojiao snorted slightly, broke away from her senior brother's arms, pulled Kong Rou over, and led her directly to the hall.
While walking, she suggested: "Today, the carefree person will be responsible for cooking. What do you think, sister Xiaorou?"
Her little head was still stuck in the incredible scene just now, and Kongrou was stunned for a while before she came to her senses.
She felt as if she had found the most crucial trick and grabbed it immediately.
He was very excited and said: "Well, Xiaorou will listen to Sister Lin from now on!"
In the blink of an eye, his position was "rebellious", and He Gu was speechless for a while.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and Lin Bian'er's pretty face showed a hint of relief.
"Sister Xiaorou will be different once she goes out to practice. She will gain a lot of experience.
Don’t worry, as long as you don’t compete with your sister, she will never compete with you. From now on, let’s be consistent with each other, okay?”
"Yes!" The little girl immediately nodded heavily, smiling happily on her face.
She never expected that one day she would get a positive invitation from Lin Qier. As long as Sister Lin did not exclude her and drive her away from He Gu, she would actually be satisfied.
She knew that her weight in the heart of her beloved was far less than that of the other person, but she felt that this was completely enough. If it was too much, she would not be able to help but feel uneasy.
She also thought that if she really couldn't do it, she must not destroy the original close relationship between Brother He and Sister Lin because of herself. She might as well just be a maid.
At this moment, she felt very dreamy, even more unreal than the all kinds of unbelievably powerful things brought about by suddenly accepting the sword inheritance.
In the future, she can truly integrate into the relationship that her beloved values the most!
After realizing it with hindsight, He Gu discovered the mystery and immediately changed his view.
Whatever he loses, he must gain something. He instantly understood the little girl's clever approach.
"Two fairies, please wait a moment. The delicious food will be here soon!"
After saying that, he immediately ran to the kitchen to work.
The two girls entered the house hand in hand.
Their eyes met, and listening to the sounds outside, the two of them smiled in unison.
