The booklet Meng Hantang gave to Gu Cheng all contained exercises below the eighth level or materials or weapons that could be used for cultivation, etc.
Gu Cheng glanced at it twice, and there were reward points marked at the back, the minimum of which was more than a hundred points. The 40 merit points he got could only be exchanged for some commonly used elixirs.
These elixirs are also very valuable, the cheapest ones cost 10 points, and the highest ones even cost more than 100 points, which is comparable to the skills.
"This subordinate is new to martial arts, and I still don't know much about it. I wonder if you have any suggestions, sir?"
Although the current Gu Cheng has killed people and ghosts, he can only be regarded as a newcomer to the practice.
Kung Fu and other skills can be exchanged with Jingyesi, but experience cannot be exchanged.
Meng Hantang pondered for a moment and said: "You are now majoring in martial arts and left-handed secret arts, but martial arts is still your foundation, so it is necessary to choose an internal skill to lay the foundation.
You can choose to redeem the first half of this "Marrow Cleansing Sutra". The foundation of Buddhist practices is stable and profound, which can help you lay the foundation.
In addition, you have the Popo Sword from the Po Po Kendo, and you have a foundation in kendo, so I have two options here.
One is to exchange for the Yi Zi Ming Yin Sword. This sword style comes from the same sword technique as your Yi Zi Yan Yang Sword called "Zhu Yin Sword". It requires refining the ghost energy of the Yin veins and the combination of Yin Fire and Yang Yan.
1. Turning into Yin Zhu Minghuo, it has strange power, but it is easy to attract ghosts, and it is unlucky for those who practice it.
And one is an upgraded version of the Golden Light Seal based on Xuan Gang Taoism. You can choose the evil-killing Golden Light Seal from the Taoist sect, or you can choose the Demon-Suppressing Golden Light Seal from the Buddhist sect.
The former is more effective against evil spirits and ghosts, and the latter is more effective against practitioners who practice the evil ways of the ninth stream."
Gu Cheng's eyes widened when he heard this: "Can Jingyesi exchange the level of Marrow Cleansing Sutra at will?"
Meng Hantang frowned and said in confusion: "Why are you reacting so strongly? Although the Marrow Cleansing Sutra is not bad, it is only used by the Buddhist sect to lay the foundation for its young disciples. It is found in several Buddhist sect temples in the world, otherwise I would
Yesi won't get it either.
And although the exercises are important, you should not take them too seriously.
Master Pei Fei once said that there is no strongest technique, only the strongest person.
In the past, Lord Pei Fei defeated more than ten eminent monks from the Yamantaka Temple in the Buddhist holy land using the entry-level Buddhist body-refining boxing technique, the Little Vajra Demon-Suppressing Fist, which is enough to prove this point."
Gu Cheng touched his chin, and then he realized that this was not the previous life, maybe it was just the same name.
Moreover, even if the effect is the same, in a world full of demons and ghosts, the Marrow Cleansing Sutra can only be used to lay the foundation.
"By the way, sir, who is this Lord Pei Fei?"
"The commander-in-chief didn't tell you?" Meng Hantang asked.
Gu Cheng shook his head.
"It's true, Lord Commander, you can forget such things."
Meng Hantang said with a solemn expression: "You can forget other things in Jingyesi, but there are only two people you can't forget. One is Martial Saint Pei Fei, and the other is the first imperial master of Daqian Dynasty, the real Luofu master Ye Fashan.
These two were the founders of Jingyesi five hundred years ago, and they were also the strongest practitioners who assisted Emperor Taizu to pacify the entire world.
The Wu Gang Records and Xuangang Taoism that I, Jingyesi, started with were created by these two people."
Gu Cheng nodded understandingly.
Although Wugang's summary is simple, it analyzes the two realms of the ninth and eighth levels to the extreme. Even a new practitioner like Gu Cheng can see that it is extraordinary.
Xuangang Taoism also explains the characteristics of ghosts and monsters very clearly.
Although these are all basics, it is more difficult to explain the basics so thoroughly.
Gu Cheng thought for a moment and said: "Sir, in addition to the Marrow Cleansing Sutra, I choose the Demon Suppressing Golden Light Seal as another technique."
The Marrow Cleansing Sutra is a necessary internal skill for the next practice. Although the One-Character Mingyin Sword is useful, Gu Cheng doesn't even have full control of the One-Character Yanyang Sword now, so it's too early to redeem it.
After thinking about the two upgraded golden seals, Gu Cheng chose the demon-suppressing golden seal that can target practitioners.
What he will face in the future may not only be those ghosts, but also practitioners, so it is best to have both.
After choosing the exercises, Gu Cheng returned to his room and concentrated on tempering the power of his internal organs in order to reach the state of internal training as soon as possible. Meng Hantang went to Heyang Mansion.
However, this time Meng Hantang went to Heyang Mansion and did not come back for several days. Instead, he asked the Xuanjia Guards from other counties who were passing by to bring the skills back to Gu Cheng.
Xiao Yi said that this kind of thing is normal. There are only two night watchmen around Cui Zijie. When emergencies occur, they often arrest people. He will use whichever night watchman is closest.
After getting the technique, Gu Cheng continued to practice for another month. At this time, he punched out, and three inches of invisible energy spread out, making a loud crisp sound in the air. This was eight
In the early stage of internal training, the internal organs are tempered and the energy is released outwards.
After walking out of the retreat room, Gu Cheng stretched and let out a sigh of relief.
He now understands why some practitioners practice it even though they know that practicing the secret method of left path can only be achieved quickly and is not conducive to later practice.
Orthodox martial arts practice is indeed extremely boring, and those without perseverance simply cannot persevere.
Gu Cheng had some foundations before, there was still a black jade space, and Jingyesi had no shortage of skills, but even so, he still had to undergo such boring retreats for a long time, constantly beating and tempering his body.
Those warriors who are not as good as him will undoubtedly have to pay more.
At this time, Xiao Yi saw Gu Cheng coming out of seclusion, so he came over and asked, "Brother Gu, have you already broken through the eighth level?"
Gu Cheng nodded: "Thanks to your guidance, otherwise I would not have entered the country so quickly."
Xiao Yi said with envy: "Brother Gu, your training speed is already the fastest warrior I have ever seen, and brother Gu, you practice too hard. In addition to performing tasks, you practice all the time."
"Aren't others like this?"
Xiao Yi scratched his head and said, "Although other people also practice hard, they also do other things when they have free time.
For example, eldest brother Wang Qi likes to gamble, so he threw all the money from Jingyesi into the casino.
Brother Zhao Jingming likes to go to brothels and sleep, but I don’t understand. You can sleep anywhere, so why do you have to spend money to sleep in brothels?”
Xiaoyi has been a Taoist priest in the mountains since he was a child, and later came to Jingyesi. He really doesn't know these things.
Gu Cheng patted his shoulder and said meaningfully: "You will know this when you grow up."
Xiao Yi always felt that although Gu Cheng was not much older than him, he was a bit old-fashioned. Maybe people in the capital were more knowledgeable.
"By the way, Brother Gu, there is a big market on Kangping Street today. It is very lively. Do you want to go?"
Gu Cheng thought for a while and nodded.
He had been practicing intensively for more than a month, and it was really time to relax.
Kangping Street is where Gu Cheng and others dealt with the starving ghost before. This is the center of the entire Luo County. Every other month, people from nearby villages and towns come to participate in the market, which is much busier than usual.
Gu Cheng and Xiao Yi both changed into casual clothes and wandered around the market. Jing Yesi's black armor was a bit too conspicuous.
"Pear! Crisp and refreshing, with thin skin and juicy pears!"
Not far away from Gu Cheng and others, a farmer pushed a cart of pears on the roadside.
At this time, a middle-aged Taoist priest dressed slovenly came up and asked: "Man, how do you sell these pears?"
The man said: "One penny each. If it's not sweet or crispy, it doesn't cost any money."
"Not bad, how about giving Pindao a try?"
The man looked impatient: "What can I eat if I don't have money? Go away, go away, don't delay my business."
The Taoist priest sneered: "You are really a stingy man. You have hundreds of pears in your cart, but you won't even accept one from a poor Taoist?"
"A penny is not money? If you, a Taoist priest, make trouble again, I will call you an official."
The dispute between these two people attracted the attention of many people. Gu Cheng and Xiao Yi didn't pay attention at first, but then Gu Cheng discovered something, grabbed Xiao Yi, and said in a deep voice: "Let's take a look first."
The sloppy Taoist just laughed when he heard this: "Since you don't want to give Pindao pears to eat, well, Pindao will grow them himself.
As he spoke, the Taoist priest dug a small pit at his feet, grabbed something in the air with his hands, and muttered something in his mouth, as if he had buried something in it.
Finally, he took out a wine gourd and smiled triumphantly at everyone present: "This is the nectar from the poplar branches that I asked for from Guanyin Bodhisattva. Please take a look."
As the Taoist priest poured the water from the wine gourd into the pit, a small sapling grew out of the pit and quickly grew into a pear tree, full of yellow pears.
Everyone present was stunned. No one cared about why a Taoist priest wanted to ask for something from a Bodhisattva.
The Taoist priest picked off a pear, took a bite and laughed: "You are a stingy man, but I am not a stingy Taoist. Come, come, come, everyone can take these pears as you please."
As soon as they heard this, the onlookers immediately began to grab the pear tree frantically, and within a short time all the pear trees were plucked.
The man stared at this scene blankly, and when he subconsciously looked back, all the pears in his car had disappeared.
Only then did he react and shouted: "That's my pear! My pear!"
The Taoist priest gnawed on the pear and said with a proud smile: "You won't even eat a pear from you. I should teach you a lesson. Don't be so stingy again in the future."
The man froze there, then beat the ground and cried loudly: "The money from selling this car of pears will be used to treat my mother's illness!"
The people around him took a look at the pears in their hands and dispersed one after another. When the Taoist priest heard this, he also had a look of indifference on his face.
Xiao Yi had an angry look on his face, but was stopped by Gu Cheng, who shook his head with a slight sneer.
But at this time, the Taoist priest noticed Gu Cheng, looked at him and snorted: "Boy, why are you laughing? What, Taoist priest, do you have any objections to what I did?"
Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "Taoist, you are an old man eating arsenic."
The Taoist priest frowned: "What do you mean?"
Gu Cheng's hand had already touched the long sword wrapped in black cloth at his waist, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
