Practitioners represent strength, and what Gu Cheng lacks most now is strength.
Gu Cheng should be considered a person who died twice.
The memory of death in his previous life was still vivid in his mind, and the memory of death in this life also flooded into his mind.
The taste of death was not pleasant, and Gu Cheng did not want to try it again.
Some things can only be known to be rare if they are lost, and only if they have died can they know the value of life.
Gu Cheng's thirst for power left him no time to delay. After Tie Tianying left, he immediately opened the martial arts minutes and Xuangang Taoism and took a look.
There are very few methods recorded in Xuangang Taoism. There is only one Golden Light Seal that can be practiced, and its effect is to restrain low-level ghosts and evil things.
However, the prerequisite for performing the Golden Light Seal is that you need to form a seal with one hand and draw a talisman with masculine blood on the other hand. The more masculine the effect, the stronger the effect.
As for what this standard of masculinity is, it is not mentioned above.
But Gu Cheng feels that he is quite masculine, whether in his previous life or in this life.
He didn't have a chance in his previous life, but in this life, after all, he is still a young master from an aristocratic family, and there are many beautiful maids around him. It turns out that this guy is also honest, and even Gu Cheng feels like he hates that iron cannot become steel.
After finally traveling through time, this body didn't leave him any good memories.
In addition to the golden seal, Xuangang Taoism mainly explains some common sense about evil spirits and ghosts.
For example, Jingyesi planned nine levels of monsters and ghosts according to the level of practitioners.
Ghosts are: ghosts, little ghosts, resentful ghosts, fierce ghosts, evil ghosts, ghost generals, ghost kings, and ghosts.
Monsters are: beasts, spirits, small monsters, monsters, monsters, big monsters, monster kings, monster gods
There is a note after the level. The abilities of ghosts and monsters are changeable. The level is just a reference. Although some ghosts are low in level, they have some evil abilities that are extremely harmful.
The ninth-level ghosts are the weakest and pose almost no threat. Even ordinary people with strong yang energy cannot get close to the weaker ones. The stronger ones can only scare people by their appearance.
The eighth-level imps are ghosts that have condensed into a physical form. They can cause some harm to people, some of which are even fatal. Only practitioners can deal with them.
If classified according to this level, the inner ghost in Gu Cheng's black jade space should be an eighth-level imp. It already has a physical form and can cause fatal damage to people.
But the strange thing is that it was clearly mentioned that it is divided into nine grades, but the last grade has been deleted. What does this mean?
Gu Cheng didn't think much and finished reading the Xuangang Taoist Technique. Some of the common knowledge about ghosts and monsters recorded in it gave Gu Cheng a chill in his heart.
Demons and ghosts are rampant, and those evil monks are acting recklessly, even daring to use evil methods to kill people in the capital. Even with the presence of Jingyesi, it is obvious that absolute safety cannot be guaranteed.
Tie Tianying is right, no one in this world can guarantee absolute safety, the only one who can protect himself is himself.
Putting down the Xuan Gang Taoism, Gu Cheng opened the Wu Gang minutes and looked at them carefully.
The method of external training requires you to assume strange postures according to the patterns in the martial arts minutes until you feel a heat flow flowing in the body, and the route of its flow is the meridians.
This hot current is the most elementary energy. When it flows into the meridians of the limbs, external force is used to beat the skin, flesh, muscles and bones. This is the way of practicing external training.
In the later stages of cultivation, Qi Jin can be released outwards, and can even evolve into True Qi or even Gang Qi. Of course, these are realms that only seventh- and sixth-grade warriors can achieve.
It only took Gu Cheng a few hours to sense the existence of meridian energy, and he didn't know whether his speed was fast or slow.
After taking a look at the sky outside, it was not dark yet, Gu Cheng started beating his body again, but he only lasted for two or three hours before his body felt sore.
However, Gu Cheng could clearly notice that his body seemed to be a little lighter than before, and his mental state was also better.
For the remaining month, Gu Cheng would either eat with Mrs. Gu, or hide in the house and start training by himself. He could not go anywhere else, and he did not dare to go.
Gu Cheng didn't know whether he was too sensitive due to persecution paranoia, or whether someone in the Zhongyong Hou Mansion was really watching him. He always felt like someone was spying on him.
A month later, Gu Cheng hammered the ground twice. Within this month, Gu Cheng had already made two deep fist marks on the ground that was originally paved with bluestone.
According to the Wu Gang Minutes, when a punch is struck, the muscles, bones, skin and flesh become one, the punch weighs a hundred kilograms, and it can break open monuments and crack stones. This has basically reached the early stage of external training, and can be called a formal practitioner.
Gu Cheng didn't know if his punch weighed a hundred kilograms. Anyway, he managed to unite his muscles, bones, skin and flesh. The bluestone floor in Zhongyong Hou's Mansion was chosen to be extremely solid. Ordinary stones should be able to be broken by themselves.
.
According to Wu Gang's minutes, Gu Cheng's speed is considered quite fast, and it should be related to the foundation he laid when he was young.
In my memory, when Gu Cheng's father was still alive, he taught him some basic boxing and kicking skills since he was a child. However, since his father's death, Mrs. Gu was too doting on her and she became somewhat neglected.
After surviving this month, Tie Tianying finally sent the documents, and Gu Cheng could set off to report to Heyang Mansion and escape from this dangerous Marquis Mansion that was as dangerous as a prison.
In front of the gate of the Hou Mansion, all the people from the Hou Mansion came to see each other off. Mrs. Gu hugged Gu Cheng and wiped her tears: "My grandson, when you go to Heyang Mansion, you should take good care of yourself. Don't worry about money. Mansion
I still have some savings in there, so if I run out of money, I’ll write to you.”
Tie Tianying coughed: "Don't worry, Mrs. Gu, my salary in Jingyesi is still very high, higher than that of the civilian government and the military."
Gu Cheng saluted Mrs. Gu, raised his head and looked at the four characters "Zhongyong Houfu" on the plaque of Gu's residence, and said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, grandma, I will take good care of myself, and I will come back when my grandson has made his way out of the world."
Gu Cheng's words were not only addressed to Mrs. Gu, but also to "himself" and to "Gu Cheng" who had died under the evil spell.
After time travel, he went through all Gu Cheng's memories in this life. In the end, Gu Cheng could only use two words to evaluate himself in this life, and that was innocence.
His parents died young, and Gu Cheng was raised by Mrs. Gu since he was a child.
Mrs. Gu is a kind person, but she is not spoiled, so there is nothing wrong with Gu Cheng. Although he is not good at literature and martial arts, he is kind to others and has no scheming. He even has no idea about the position of the heir to the title.
No concept.
After traveling through time, Gu Cheng could immediately sense Zhang's malice toward him, but in this life, Gu Cheng's memory only felt that he was not good-natured and that he had done something wrong to be disliked by his aunt.
As a result, such a simple and harmless person died tragically under evil laws due to a struggle for interests. Although he did not know the truth before he died, Gu Cheng felt aggrieved and worthless.
The reason why I can live another life is because I have taken over the body of 'Gu Cheng'.
Subconsciously, Gu Cheng felt that he owed something to 'himself' in this life, so he would repay him for his injustice and worthlessness in the future!
Mrs. Zhang also came over with a smile at this time and said: "Cheng'er, after you go to Heyang Mansion, remember to write to your family often. We will miss you. And Zheng'er also came back from the academy today for leave, so I came here to see you off.
Hit the road."
A handsome young man of fifteen or sixteen years old next to Zhang came out and said to Gu Cheng with a faint smile on his face: "I wish my brother a smooth trip and a safe journey."
That young man was Gu Zheng, Zhang's son.
He rarely appeared in Gu Cheng's memory. Zhang sent him to the academy since he was a child, and also hired retired military officers as martial arts masters to teach him boxing and kicking skills.
Compared with Gu Cheng, who was not good at both civil and military affairs, Gu Zheng can be said to be good at both civil and military affairs.
Gu Cheng didn't know whether he knew what his mother had done, but now it seemed that at least he and Gu Cheng had no feeling of closeness.
Lowering his head, trying not to let Zhang see his sharp gaze, Gu Cheng said in a deep voice, "Thank you, aunt and brother."
Tie Tianying handed the documents and a token representing Jingyesi to Gu Cheng: "Master Gu, I have already sent the news to Heyang Mansion. You can just take the things and report to Heyang Mansion.
Jingyesi has other matters, so I won’t accompany him."
As the Xuanjia Guard of Jingyesi in the capital, Tie Tianying had a lot of things going on, so naturally he would not personally send Gu Cheng to Heyang Mansion.
Mrs. Gu said worriedly: "Will something happen on the road?"
The corner of Zhang's slightly mean mouth curved: "Don't worry, old lady, I have already arranged for three servants to escort Cheng'er on the road. They are all veterans who followed his second uncle in the past. Nothing will happen to him."
Mrs. Gu nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you did this very thoughtfully."
Gu Cheng's expression changed slightly: "Don't bother. There is an official road from the capital to Heyang Prefecture. There is no danger."
Mrs. Gu did not listen to Gu Cheng on this matter. Instead, she waved her hand forcefully: "If you are not afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst, no matter how safe it is."
In the Gu Mansion, even Mrs. Zhang did not dare to blatantly refute Mrs. Gu. Once she spoke like this, it would be suspicious if Gu Cheng resisted fiercely.
Therefore, Gu Cheng had no choice but to mount his horse and leave the capital, escorted by three strong servants.
Without the escort of the three of them, I might not be afraid of ten thousand, but just afraid of the worst.
But with the three of them escorting us, the danger is always around us.
When leaving the capital, Gu Cheng looked back.
In the more than a month since he traveled to the present, he has not left Gu Mansion. This is the first time he has seen the outside appearance of Daqian Capital.
Huge black stone bricks were piled up to form a majestic city wall with a height of one hundred feet. When you get close, you can't even see the end of it, like a giant beast crawling on the ground.
Such a majestic city has never appeared in his previous history.
One day, Gu Cheng will come back here again and take a closer look at this large capital city.
