Gu Cheng is in a very bad situation now. Only his grandmother, Mrs. Gu, can he trust. As for the others, who knows if they are from the Zhang family?
Especially when Mrs. Gu wants to send herself to his second uncle to join the army, this is simply a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.
Even the Zhang family wanted to kill him. Gu Cheng didn't dare to gamble on what his second uncle was thinking.
In Mrs. Gu's opinion, Mrs. Zhang was just being mean. She never thought that her daughter-in-law would even be murderous for this title.
The experience of job-hopping in many companies in his previous life taught Gu Cheng that if you can't survive, just find another place to survive. There is no need to hang yourself from a tree.
Gu Cheng said in a deep voice: "Grandma, my grandson is almost 12 years old and it's time for him to have a place to go. He can't continue to stay in the house and wait to die.
My grandson is not good at literature and martial arts, so if he goes to his second uncle's place, he will be a drag on him. It just so happens that my grandson has encountered such a thing, so it is just right to go to Jingyesi."
Mrs. Gu wiped her tears and said: "What do you mean, we are all a family, how can we not be a drag? If it weren't for your father's military exploits, your second uncle wouldn't be able to become a general.
You kid has never even killed a chicken, let alone killed people and ghosts. If something happens to you, our family will be extinct!"
Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but said to the side: "Old lady, there is still Zheng'er here, how can my Gu family be extinct?"
Mrs. Gu's face darkened: "If something happens to Cheng'er, your eldest brother's family will be wiped out. Why are you so selfish and always thinking about yourself?"
Gu Cheng smiled bitterly in his heart. Now he knew why Mr. Zhang hated him so much. I'm afraid it wasn't just because of his title.
Mrs. Gu is so biased towards her, every time she scolds her, she will probably remember it on herself.
Having made up his mind, Gu Cheng said to Mrs. Gu: "Grandma, please don't say any more. My grandson has decided to leave."
Mrs. Gu was stunned for a moment. When did her grandson become so independent? This is quite similar to his father.
The child was older and more successful. Mrs. Gu sighed and said to Tie Tianying: "Master Tie, I'll trouble you."
Tie Tianying nodded and said: "Whatever the old lady said, it is appropriate.
I will go back and write a letter to recommend Mr. Gu to join Jingyesi. After getting the documents, he can report to Jingyesi, Heyang Prefecture, Donglin County."
Mrs. Gu was stunned: "Heyang Mansion in Donglin County? Why is it so far away? Isn't it the capital?"
Tie Tianying shook his head and said: "Of course it's not the capital. The capital is the headquarters of Jingyesi. It gathers all the elites of Daqian Jingyesi and does not accept new people.
I am not bragging, although I am only a Xuanjia Guard now, but in the Jingyesi Division of Heyang Prefecture, I will be a deputy commander or a night watchman at the end.
In the past, I was promoted to the capital from the position of night watchman of Heyang Prefecture. Now Cui Zijie, the commander of Jingyesi Division in Heyang Prefecture, the "Great Ziyang Hand", is my former colleague. Mr. Gu can also get care and experience by going to him.
.”
Before Mrs. Gu could agree, Gu Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Tie, for taking care of me."
Tie Tianying nodded: "Young Master Gu, there is no need to be polite. In the past, Mr. Tie and I received favors from the old Marquis, and these are all deserved.
I'm going to prepare the formalities and send them to Heyang Mansion, and the results will be available in about a month."
After Tie Tianying left, Mrs. Gu complained: "My grandson, do you know what you promised? What you did was too reckless."
"Grandma, I know very well that the inheritance of my Gu family through martial arts cannot be cut off in my generation."
Mrs. Gu sighed and said, "Okay, you have an idea. Come, come and bathe and change the young master, and make some food. Cheng'er hasn't eaten anything for almost a day."
Gu Cheng said quickly: "I haven't eaten with grandma for a long time. Let me eat with grandma."
Mrs. Zhang now hates herself to the core. She can even think of finding someone to kill her with evil methods. There is no guarantee that she will not poison her.
Although poisoning is a very stupid thing to do at this time, and it may expose yourself, but God knows if this woman will lose her brain because she is so angry.
Mrs. Gu immediately beamed and said, "Okay, okay, let's eat it with my grandson."
Seeing Mrs. Gu and Gu Cheng walking out, Mrs. Zhang's eyes showed a hint of cold resentment.
After eating, Gu Cheng returned to his room and checked around before taking out the jade pendant in his arms.
He remembered that he entered that dark space by touching it last time?
But as soon as Gu Cheng thought of that dark space, his spirit was immediately sucked into it.
This time, Gu Cheng could clearly feel that his spirit was being sucked into it, which also caused him to lose part of his mental power, making him feel tired instantly.
And as Gu Cheng carefully closed his eyes and noticed, every second he stayed in this space, his mental energy was being consumed.
The last time he fainted actually had nothing to do with the ghost in his heart. It was purely because he had exhausted his mental energy and fainted.
At this time, the inner ghost came bouncing over again. Although his appearance was scary, if you didn't look carefully, it was a bit ugly.
Gu Cheng touched his chin and looked at Xingui.
When this thing is sucked into it, it becomes obedient. Is this a prison for it?
Gu Cheng always felt that things were not that simple.
At this time, the ghost seemed to know what Gu Cheng was thinking, and it actually stretched out its thumb-sized hand and pointed outside.
"You mean you can go out?"
The ghost in the heart shook his huge head and nodded.
Gu Cheng tried to think about the outside, and sure enough, the next moment his spirit returned to the outside.
At the same time, Gu Cheng was thinking about the ghost in his heart. As the black light shone, the ghost in his heart actually appeared in front of him.
At this moment, Gu Cheng could clearly feel the connection between himself and the ghost in his heart. At the same time, he could also feel that his mental power was passing by, and he felt as if he was about to faint within a few breaths.
Gu Cheng quickly put the inner ghost back into the space and rubbed his face at the same time.
The jade pendant I brought from my previous life is really mysterious. It can swallow ghosts and drive them away.
But the time is too short. What can you do with just a few seconds?
Of course, something is better than nothing. With such a thing, it can be regarded as an additional trump card for self-protection.
Early the next morning, Tie Tianying came again to take some household registration files proving Gu Cheng's identity and send them to Heyang Mansion.
At the same time, Tie Tianying also came over to see Gu Cheng and see how the Yin Qi in his body was dissipating.
But looking at it this way, Tie Tianying frowned: "Why does the yin energy in your body seem to be heavier again? Did you encounter something strange again yesterday?"
Gu Cheng guessed that it might be because he came into contact with the inner ghost again yesterday, so he was contaminated with some yin energy again.
"No, everything was fine yesterday."
The Yin Qi only rose a little, so Tie Tianying didn't ask any more questions. He just asked:
"Mr. Gu, have you ever practiced the techniques of your Zhongyong Hou family?"
"Kung Fu?"
Gu Cheng shook his head blankly and said: "In my memory, my father only taught me some boxing and kicking skills for physical exercise, but he didn't mention any martial arts."
Tie Tianying sighed: "It seems that your father is probably the last martial arts practitioner of your Gu family, and what he practices is probably not the Kung Fu of your Gu family.
Your ancestors of the Gu family were not practitioners, so they did not have very strong skills passed down. In the later period, they relied entirely on their military exploits to inherit the skills.
However, the imperial court has regulations that the inheritance of martial arts obtained through military merit can only be redeemed for each level it reaches, and it needs to be banned and cannot be passed on to others."
With that said, Tie Tianying gave two thin booklets to Gu Cheng, namely "Minutes of Wu Gang" and "Xuan Gang Dao Shu".
"This is the skill?" Gu Cheng said in surprise.
Tie Tianying shook his head and said: "No, this is just to lay the foundation for Jingyesi's newcomers.
Practitioners are roughly divided into three categories: Qi-refining practitioners of the upper ninth realm, martial arts practitioners of the middle ninth realm, and left-field monks of the lower ninth realm.
Of course, there are also those who practice both martial arts and Qi training, but they are very few.
Nine levels of Qi refining: Qi refining, spiritual nourishment, visualization, condensation, Yuan Qi, Gui Yuan, wandering in the spirit, Dong Ming, and Earth Immortal.
The ninth level of martial arts: external training, internal training, bone forging, blood gushing, mountain viewing, sea viewing, divine gate, extraordinary, and martial saint.
As for the lower class, they are all those guys who have no talent for refining qi and cannot withstand the hardships of martial arts that torture the physical body, so they practice those quick and secret techniques of the left.
Such people generally cannot reach the top unless they turn to martial arts and Qi refining halfway.
The Wu Gang Minutes contain the cultivation methods for ninth-grade external training and eighth-grade internal training respectively.
External training is about muscles, bones and skin, toning the body and tempering the body.
Internal training is to take a breath of acquired Qi, inflate the chest and abdomen, and temper the internal organs and five internal organs. It can make the internal organs tough, have amazing recovery capabilities, release the energy, and make the internal organs breathe like thunder like tigers and leopards.
These two realms are basic, so no exercises are needed.
Going forward, you need to use your own merit to apply for high-level skills from Jingyesi.
Before reporting to Jingyesi in Heyang Prefecture, you'd better complete the ninth level of external training.
Although you are a son of a prince, it is best to join Jingyesi after becoming a formal practitioner, otherwise you will also attract criticism."
Gu Cheng nodded and understood, this is what is commonly known as street goods.
"Then this Xuan Gang Dao Technique is the Qigong Practitioner's technique?"
Tie Tianying shook his head and said: "No, Qi Refiner's skills are even rarer. Xuan Gang Taoism only records some basic knowledge about ghosts and monsters and methods to deal with them. It is considered a basic Xuanmen secret method, but it is not a skill.
In the first two levels of martial arts, if you have good talent and work hard, you can strengthen your body in a few months and absorb the acquired energy to temper your internal organs. You can complete internal and external training in a year. If you are not talented, you can
There will also be some achievements in the year.
However, the first two levels of Qi Refiner require one year to refine Qi, three years to cultivate the mind, and four years to achieve success, which is too time consuming.
This is still considered talented. Those without talent will never even think about getting started.
Therefore, only some big sects can cultivate pure Qi practitioners.
After you have entered martial arts, and your spirit and soul are strong, you can also use some quick secrets of left-handed Taoism.
Like me, Jingyesi, I usually major in martial arts, assist in Xuanmen secrets, or focus on Qi training, and I will also practice elementary martial arts to strengthen my body to protect myself."
"Which one is stronger or weaker, a warrior or a Qi refiner?"
Tie Tianying said: "This mainly depends on yourself.
Of course, if we go by the high probability, warriors are stronger in the early stage, and Qi Refiners have more bizarre methods in the later stage.
The Qi refining state refines the acquired Qi into the body, making the ears and eyes clear and the spirit radiant.
The state of nourishing the mind condenses the essence, energy, and spirit. Through meditation and other methods, the spirit is cultivated, the perception is improved, and the yin and yang eyes are opened to see evil spirits and ghosts.
These two realms do not significantly improve the physical body, and there are very few techniques that can be mastered. Once a warrior gets close to you, you will definitely die!"
Gu Cheng nodded understandingly. What Tie Tianying said seemed to open a new door for him.
"Wouldn't it be better to practice both?"
Tie Tianying pointed at Gu Cheng and then at himself: "A person's energy is limited, and it is not easy to practice one to the peak. Most people practice both, and the result is that they cannot practice both.
When you get home, you must not have such thoughts.
Okay, it’s time for me to leave. Once the official document from Heyang Mansion is issued, you can set off."
"Excuse me, Master Tie."
Gu Cheng suddenly asked at this time: "Master Tie, what state are you in?"
Tie Tianying showed a smile, stretched out a pair of hands with joints that were thicker than ordinary people, and suddenly made a fist, and there was an explosion in the air, and his true energy spread in all directions.
"The seventh level of martial arts forges bones, gathers Qi into the bones, cleanses the marrow and generates essence, and condenses the true Qi. The physical body is comparable to ordinary swords and can break gold and weapons!"
