Chapter 539
In the courtyard, Zhuo Rusui looked at the scene in front of the stone pagoda with complicated emotions.
Those green leaves seemed to have fallen on Gu Qing's body, but in fact there was still a very small distance between them and his clothes, only a few pages of books.
This is a sign that the sword will leave the body, and it is also a symbol that the sword ghost is about to be fully formed, which means that he is very close to the middle of the wild, probably only a few dozen days.
He and Zhao Layue have been in the middle realm of Youye for many years, and now they are attacking the upper realm of Youye, which is much ahead of Gu Qing, but Gu Qing's cultivation speed still surprised him a little.
Even if Zen Zi and Jing Jiu sat in the Zen room and talked about the overflowing spiritual thoughts that brought great help to Lu Qing, but the cultivation depends on oneself after all.
Zhuo Rusui knew that Gu Qing was the sword boy of Senior Brother Nanshan and the concubine of Gu Han back then, he was really talented, and he was the focus of training by Liangwang Peak. But no matter how good Gu Qing's cultivation talent is, it is impossible to be better than him, and compared with those outstanding disciples of Liangwang Peak, there is nothing special about it. Moreover, Gu Qing has been busy dealing with the affairs of Shenmo Peak these years, and later he stayed in Chaoge City to teach Prince Jingyao, and recently he was busy helping Jing Jiu with Qingshan affairs...
Under such circumstances, his practice was not affected in any way. How did he do it?
Looking at those leaves that seemed to have not yet fallen, Zhuo Rusui suddenly had an idea.
It was that time in the Inheriting Sword Conference, in order to defeat Jing Jiu, Gu Qing used the Liulong Sword Art, and was punished by the sect rules, and his practice was suspended for three years.
During those three years, Gu Qingyi stayed at Shenmo Peak, cut wood to build a house, kept company with monkeys, and then became Jing Jiu's apprentice.
The change should start from that moment, right?
Zhuo Rusui felt the pressure and decided to sleep less and practice sword more from now on.
He walked to the stone pagoda, sat down not far from Gu Qing, closed his eyes, and began to practice.
Looking at this scene, Zhao Layue did not speak, but there was a slight worry in her eyes.
Ada stood up to express his comfort, thinking that there is nothing to worry about, isn't it the same with Liu Ci and Yuan Qijing back then?
...
...
Jing Jiu and Chan Zi were reading a book indoors.
Zhao Layue, Zhuo Rusui, and Gu Qing were practicing in the courtyard.
Ah Da is sleeping.
Dachang monk is sweeping the floor.
Time flows slowly in such regular repetition.
The heat gradually deepened, then faded, and the wind picked up again.
It's just that today's wind has nothing to do with those pages that turn by themselves, but comes from the first touch of autumn between heaven and earth.
Zhao Layue got up and walked out of the Jingyuan.
Ah Da opened his eyes, meowed, walked to the courtyard, stepped on the stone tower silently, and landed in her arms accurately.
Zhuo Rusui opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Layue.
Zhao Layue said, "I'm going out for a walk."
Zhuo Rusui thought for a while, stood up, shook off the fallen leaves on his body, and said, "I'll go too."
The two of them are now at a critical moment to hit the upper realm of Youye, and they have already stood on that threshold, only one step away.
But practice is like this, the last step is often the most difficult step.
Even if they are born with Dao, they are rare geniuses in cultivating Dao, they still need a lot of time to break through, and they also need the most critical opportunity.
After all, they are still within the category of normal geniuses, unlike Jing Jiu, who can break through the realm lying on a bamboo chair, or taking a bath in the green lake.
After sitting in the quiet garden for dozens of days, the opportunity has never arrived. Walking between the heaven and the earth, looking for some insights, may be of some help.
When leaving Jingyuan, Zhuo Rusui glanced at Gu Qing and found that he was still meditating, he couldn't help but wondered, wondering why he was so diligent?
Zhao Layue said: "He has been busy with affairs these years and has little time for practice, so he cherishes it very much."
Hearing these words, Zhuo Rusui couldn't help but sympathize with Gu Qing.
The two walked out of the quiet garden and strolled in the temple.
Zhuo Rusui said: "The essence of a cultivator is cultivation, and Junior Brother Gu Qing is also working hard."
Zhao Layue said: "Being the head of the sect is hard work."
Ah Da raised his head in her arms and glanced at her.
Zhuo Rusui said: "Little aunt wants to persuade me to give up? This is impossible. The head of the family is given to my little martial uncle by the master. I have no objection, but who knows what will happen in the future?"
Zhao Layue said: "You didn't pass Nanshan, why are you so obsessed with it?"
Zhuo Rusui smiled and said: "Because I have better talent and younger age, I hope to be older than senior brother Nanshan. The most important thing is that I have a good relationship with the master uncle."
If these words were said from other people's mouths, it would be like boasting and annoying, but when he said them, it was somewhat respectful.
Ah Da looked at this junior with admiration in his eyes.
Zhao Layue didn't say anything more.
"Little Senior Aunt, do you always have objections to me because I won you in the sword test?"
Zhuo Rusui said innocently, "How can you calm down?"
He knew very well that even though Zhao Layue had kept a low profile in Shenmo Peak these past few years, when it came to influence over the sect master, no one could surpass her. If he wants to further improve his relationship with the sect master, at least equal to Gu Qing, go to Shenmo Peak to eat more food, kill many people for the sect master, it is better to serve this little aunt first.
Now thinking about what happened at the sword test meeting back then, he regretted it a little, so what if he retreated for two more years, why are you so anxious?
Zhao Layue said: "You can't really beat me, what's my opinion?"
Hearing this, Zhuo Rusui immediately forgot about pleasing her, and said, "You suppressed Furth Sword at that time, but how did you know that I didn't hide anything?"
Zhao Layue said with a blank face: "If you are really hiding something, why are you saying such boring things now?"
In the interesting or boring conversation, the two walked to the middle of Guocheng Temple, and there was a big hall not far in front.
In a few days, that special Meihui will be held in this hall, and the practice sects of the entire Chaotian Continent will be present.
I don't know how the Qingshan sect is going to deal with the strong advance of the Zhongzhou faction.
Walking through the tower forest, there is a very quiet Zen room on the side, and the sound of scriptures comes from a further place, which is melodious and calming.
"This is the Baishan Zen room?" Zhuo Rusui said with narrowed eyes.
Taiping Daoist once lived there for several years.
Thinking of the turmoil caused by his master in the world, Zhuo Rusui was palpitated, but also a little inexplicably proud.
Many Qingshan disciples should feel this way. After all, those heinous deeds happened more than 300 years ago, and very few people witnessed them with their own eyes.
Only distance can produce beauty and awe, and Zhao Layue didn't have the feeling of being as old as she was.
Because she can often see people like Jing Jiu, and she has personally hunted down and killed Daoist Taiping.
In the battle of Guocheng Temple, she started chasing and killing from Jingyuan, to the lonely peak outside the temple, and then went to Daze, taking risks in the process of chasing and killing.
Thinking about it carefully, this is really a shocking thing, but few people in the world know about it.
Leaving the Tallinn, Zhao Layue came outside the kitchen of the Qiansi Temple, and said, "Xuan Yinzi has been cooking here for several years."
Zhuo Rusui was a little bit emotional, thinking that a generation of demon gods actually worked as cooks, the previous generation of god emperors lived in seclusion here, and the ancestors actually worked as abbots here.
Guocheng Temple is really a very magical place.
At this time, he had already discovered that Zhao Layue came to visit these places specially, and asked, "What did Master feel?"
Zhao Layue said: "What was the opportunity for you to break through the situation last time?"
Zhuo Rusui said: "It's killing people in the Qingtianjian illusion."
Zhao Layue said, "I am also a murderer."
Zhuo Rusui thought to himself that he really is one of my generation.
When it comes to things like killing people, it is natural that when fighting against the strong, it brings the most spiritual shock and insight.
After Zhao Layue got acquainted with Jing Jiu, she seldom had the chance to fight strong men, and that was the time when she chased and killed Daoist Taiping, she gave her the most insights.
She left Jingyuan today because she wanted to relive that day and look for some opportunities to break through.
Leaving Guocheng Temple, I came to the vegetable garden. It has been neglected for many years, and it has long been abandoned. The house is full of dust, and some furniture is even rotten.
Liu Shisui was here back then, when he heard her sword cry, he chased after her without hesitation, and started to join hands with her in pursuit.
Zhao Layue went to the kitchen to search, but found nothing, the water in the kimchi jar had dried up, and the radishes and cowpeas had been spoiled for a long time, so there was no way to eat them.
Zhuo Rusui asked: "Are you hungry?"
Zhao Layue said: "The temple is full of radishes and cabbages, and the birds fade out."
Zhuo Rusui was slightly startled, thinking how unrestrained these words are, the little aunt is indeed a member of my generation.
Leaving the vegetable garden, the two rose up with swords.
There are no towns around Guocheng Temple, and naturally there are no hot pot restaurants, so it is not very suitable to go to the village to eat, so they decided to go and eat the whole bear paw roast, or roast some tiger meat. The ferocious beasts like bears and tigers are naturally only found in the deep mountains, and it just so happens that the place where Zhao Layue is going is the deep mountains.
The east side of that mountain was full of cliffs, and it was here that she succeeded in breaking through, and then joined hands with Liu Shisui to hurt Daoist Taiping.
At this time, Firth's sword suddenly trembled slightly.
Zhuo Rusui also sensed a pure and sharp Qingshan sword intent.
The two looked down the cliff.
There is a mountain stream with a forest beside the stream.
...
...
When Zhao Layue and Zhuo Rusui were looking for pickles to eat in the vegetable garden, Xiao He, who could make pickles, was washing her face by the stream.
It has been more than ten days since she and Liu Shisui left Qianlifenglang. Seeing that Guocheng Temple is not far away, and she can return to the vegetable garden that brought her the most peaceful years, she is also in a great mood.
But at the next moment, all the good mood was shattered by the sudden appearance of those human practitioners.
"In broad daylight, you, the fox demon of the old forest, dare to swagger through the market, are you really deceiving me that there is no one in the right way!"
The person who spoke was an elder of the Kunlun Sect, and his aura was extremely deep.
More than ten Kunlun disciples stood at one place, looking at the bank of the stream vigilantly.
An old monk stood at the upper reaches of the stream with a solemn expression.
Listening to the elder of the Kunlun sect, Xiao He's eyes flashed with evil intentions.
Liu Shisui came out from the woods, looked at those people and asked, "What are you going to do?"
The elder of the Kunlun Sect is called Chen Wen, and this time he led a team to participate in the Guocheng Temple Conference, and his realm is extremely high.
Knowing Liu Shisui's identity, he said indifferently, "You should still be imprisoned in the Qingshan Sword Prison at this time, but the Qingshan sect dares to let go of a demon like Taiping, so it's not a problem to let you go secretly, but that's your own business, and I don't want to take care of it, but you don't want to protect this fox demon, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Xiao He raised her brows slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Do you know the relationship between us and Master Qingshan?"
"You mean Jing Jiu? The dignified Qingshan sect actually chose a child as the head. This is really a big joke."
Chen Wen, the elder of the Kunlun Sect, stared into Liu Shisui's eyes and said, "And you, as a disciple of Mao Zhai, you actually protect this wicked fox demon. How did Master Bu Zhai teach you?"
Hearing these words, Liu Shisui knew that there was no need to speak anymore, motioned Xiao He to stand behind him, looked at her and said, "Come on."
Those Kunlun sect disciples were stunned, and it took a while to understand what he meant. They found it so ridiculous and couldn't help laughing.
They looked at Liu Shisui with ridicule and pity in their eyes, as if they were looking at a lunatic.
