Chapter 432 Tianxin Pearl
After what happened to Monk Wuwei, Gu Zheng and the other three didn't say anything more during the originally happy campfire dinner. Although the remaining three dishes were good, they were also very boring to eat.
Early the next morning, Head Yang of the Tianxin Sect arrived as scheduled.
"Master Gu, I invited you to our Wufeng Island as a guest, but the unpleasant incident happened last night. I'm really sorry! Don't worry, Master Gu, I will definitely give you a gift after the Fish Festival is over. compensate."
After some polite greetings, Manager Yang apologized profusely.
"When I come to your Wufeng Island as a guest, the food and food are all yours. I also know that you don't want the unpleasant things like last night to happen, but it has happened, so let it pass! As for saying There’s no need to give any compensation, otherwise it will look too outrageous.”
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he added: "Unless it is said that Master Yang has other motives for being so enthusiastic about me, if that is the case, then let's speak openly. I don't like to beat around the bush."
"Master Gu is a happy man!"
Master Yang laughed at himself: "Actually, I also know that Master Gu will definitely not think that this is the hospitality of our Tianxin sect if he treats Master Gu so enthusiastically. Since Master Gu wants me to tell the truth, then I will tell Master Gu The leader told everything!"
Leader Yang stood up, looked at the sea outside the window, and asked seemingly inexplicably: "Does Leader Gu think the sea area near Wufeng Island is big?"
"It's huge, beyond my imagination. It can hide such a large area of the sea. The immortal formation deployed by the Tianxin Sect is also powerful and surprises me!"
Gu Zheng answered without hesitation. When he first saw Wufeng Island, he had lamented the power of the immortal formation.
"Since the ancient leader is also curious about this, he will definitely think that the immortal formation was arranged by our ancestors of the Tianxin Sect, right?" Leader Yang asked again.
"Yes, I do think so. But I am also a little curious. The ancestor of Tianxin Sect who can arrange such a powerful immortal formation should have reached the golden immortal level! But in the history of Tianxin Sect There is no such strong person in the world, not even an immortal cultivator, and the highest cultivation level seems to be only the late fifth level."
Since he was going to be a guest of the Tianxin Sect, Gu Zheng had of course done some research on some information about the Tianxin Sect.
"Master Gu, in fact, this Tianxin Sect is not that Tianxin Sect!" Master Yang sighed.
"How do you say this?" Gu Zheng asked curiously.
Faced with Gu Zheng's curiosity, Master Yang told everything about the Tianxin Sect.
According to Master Yang, the inheritance of the ‘Tianxin Sect’ has been going on for a long time.
The 'Tianxin Sect' in the era of prosperity should be a reclusive sect. There are only a few members in the sect, but it is very powerful.
Later, the people of the Tianxin Sect on Wufeng Island disappeared. After the original residents of the island accidentally entered the ruins of the Tianxin Sect, they discovered that the immortals in their eyes were no longer there.
When the people of the 'Tianxin Sect' were on Wufeng Island, although they did not recruit disciples, they did guide some islanders with good qualifications to practice.
It was the islanders who received the guidance who founded the current Tianxin Sect after discovering some classics on cultivation in the ruins of the 'Tianxin Sect', and then developed step by step to this day.
For the absolute top leaders of the Tianxin Sect in the past, they all have the same problem, which is to practice according to the mental methods left by the "Tianxin Sect". After the peak, the mysterious realm in common sense will not appear!
Without the emergence of the mysterious realm, it is naturally impossible to become an immortal cultivator! The reason for this is because the "Tianxin Sect" mental method they practice is not the complete version.
The entire "Tianxin Sect" mental method is actually hidden in a box that the people of the Tianxin Sect brought out from the ruins of the "Tianxin Sect".
Regarding this box, people from the Tianxin Sect left a message slip. The jade slip not only revealed several items in the box, but also told the person who got the box that in order to open the box, he must be a qualified person. OK.
What is a destined person? The person who can make the 'Heaven's Heart Pearl' found in the ruins shine is a destined person.
There are five ‘Tianxin Pearls’ in total, and they are carried by disciples of the Tianxin Sect all year round, traveling around the world looking for the right person.
Originally, the Tianxin Sect thought that as long as they found the destined person, they could open the box left by the 'Tianxin Sect', but this was not the case.
Over the course of thousands of years, people from the Tianxin Sect have found many destined people who can make the "Tianxin Pearl" shine. Among these destined people, most are cultivators, and only a few are ordinary people.
The people from the Tianxin sect used all kinds of methods to let them try to see if they could open the box, but the results after trying could be imagined.
Although the results of the attempts were all disappointing, the people of the Tianxin Sect still did not give up the search for the destined person. After all, this destined person was too important. If they could not find him, the Tianxin Sect would not only not produce immortal cultivators, but also would face difficulties. A bigger crisis!
The Immortal Formation that hides Kirikaze Island is in urgent need of maintenance. If no one is found within a hundred years, the Immortal Formation will automatically disappear. By then, what will happen to Kirikaze Island that is exposed to the eyes of the world? , people from the Tianxin Sect really can’t imagine it.
In the Kunlun Sect, when Gu Zheng went to find Yang Zhenling to fulfill his promise, the 'Tianxin Pearl' placed on the head of Yang actually glowed! This made the overjoyed head Yang give Gu Zheng the jade token of the distinguished guest of Wufeng Island, and this led to what happened next.
After listening to Master Yang's story, Gu Zheng asked: "Have you told such important information to the so-called destined people?"
"Of course not! Apart from Master Gu, there are only two people in history who know about this matter." Master Yang said.
"Let's not talk about whether I am a destined person. Just because I know such a secret, isn't Master Yang afraid that I will have evil intentions? After all, what is in that box should be a very tempting treasure." Gu Zheng Said again.
Master Yang shook his head: "Telling Master Gu this matter represents my trust in Master Gu's character. I don't believe that Master Gu would do such a thing even after I have told the truth." Something happened. Although my passion for Master Gu has a purpose, Master Gu will not lose anything because of it.
"You believe me so much? There must have been an investigation into me, right?"
"The investigation is certain. After all, the box is the secret of the Tianxin Sect. It is a matter of great importance, so we have to be cautious. Please forgive me for this, Master Gu. Moreover, we have also investigated the other two people who knew the secret in history. , his character is the same as that of the ancient leader, he is very trustworthy.”
"Master Yang, I'm still very curious! For those who don't know the secret, when you ask them to help, you should just ask them to try it and see if they can open a box, right?"
"Yes, that's true."
"As for me, you can actually just say to help open a box just like you do to others, but why take the risk to tell me what is in the box?"
Faced with Gu Zheng's question, Head Yang smiled bitterly: "There is nothing we can do about it. Anyone who is told the truth by us is the most likely to open the box, and they themselves are very extraordinary, and they also have hidden secrets behind them." Not inferior to those of the Tianxin Sect! The box you need to open is different from ordinary boxes. After opening the box, you will definitely see the contents! In this case, I might as well tell you in advance and take a look at yours. Your reaction is the final consideration of your character!”
"Then what do you think of my reaction? Does my character pass the test?"
"Forget it! There are so many doubts and his character is not bad, so he is not a scum motivated by wealth."
"By the way, why are I and the other two people in history the most likely to open the box?"
"Because you made the 'Tianxin Pearl' shine to a certain level, the jade slip obtained from the ruins does say that such a person is most likely to open the box."
"Let me see your 'Heavenly Heart Bead'."
Head Yang took out the 'Tianxin Bead' the size of a glass ball from his arms, which was emitting a red light. However, after Gu Zheng took the 'Tianxin Bead', the originally weak red light became It's even more dazzling.
"The so-called Tianxin Pearl is actually a higher-grade testing stone."
The voice of Qi Ling rang in Gu Zheng's mind.
Detection stones come in various shapes and are found in almost every sect in today's cultivation world. Their only purpose is to detect whether a person is qualified to become a cultivator.
"Low-level detection stones can only detect whether a person is qualified to become a cultivator. High-level detection stones like this can detect a person's growth potential! A person's growth potential needs to be very high before it can be opened. The box represents inheritance!" Qi Ling smiled playfully.
"Why, are you going to give me a reason to keep certain things as your own?" Gu Zheng also smiled.
"Baby, who would have too much?" Qi Ling smiled even worse.
"A gentleman loves money in a wise way. Although I am not a gentleman, I don't want to be a villain in this matter. Unless they treat me as a fool, want to plot against me, or something else."
Gu Zheng was talking to the weapon spirit in his heart, while Head Yang looked at the 'Tianxin Pearl' that was even more shining in Gu Zheng's hand, and his breathing became rapid.
"Master Yang, this 'Tianxin Pearl' is a higher-grade detection stone. You don't know that, right?" Gu Zheng said.
"I know, I also know that the growth potential of someone who can make the 'Tianxin Pearl' shine so strongly will be terrifying!"
As Head Yang spoke, Guo Zi had a very responsible look on his face, as if he was thinking about how to deal with this matter.
"Think with reason and move with emotion. Although Master Yang has an ulterior motive for his enthusiasm for me, after talking about it, I don't think there is anything wrong with it."
"Furthermore, to be able to become the leader of a sect, I think Leader Yang is also a smart person. Now that things have developed to this point, I think it is an unexpected situation for both you and me. "
"Therefore, I hope that Master Yang will not hide anything from me, especially about the box! I don't know how much you know about me, but I am not someone who is easy to fool, and I am not someone who is willing to be fooled. People who stand in the way of guns!”
After Gu Zheng said something seriously, a smile appeared on his face again: "Master Yang, how do you think things can continue?"
Facing Gu Zheng's smiling face, Master Yang swallowed hard. Telling someone the truth was risky, but Gu Zheng's change after he came into contact with the 'Heavenly Heart Pearl' made Master Yang feel like he was inviting a wolf into the house! Perhaps, it is not appropriate to describe Master Yang's feelings at this time as inviting a wolf into the house. The most appropriate description should be a fierce dragon crossing the river!
"As long as Master Gu helps to open the box, Tianxin Sect will pay Master Gu a very generous reward!" Master Yang said with difficulty.
"Compared with the things in the box, what is the ratio of this very generous reward? Can it be conscientious?" Gu Zheng said playfully.
Master Yang's reaction has made Gu Zheng more certain that the truth of the facts should have another version!
"Hmm..."
Gu Zheng's sharp words made Master Yang groan slightly as if he had a stomachache.
"Master Gu, the development of things is indeed too unexpected. This matter is not something I can make a decision on my own. I need to discuss with the elders in the sect to see how to properly resolve it!" Master Yang said with a wry smile.
"Okay, don't make me wait too long. According to the original plan, I will only stay on Wufeng Island for five days at most." Gu Zheng smiled.
Master Yang nodded, and when he hurriedly left, he had lost the enthusiasm he had when he first came, and even forgot to say goodbye! It is conceivable how complicated his mood is now.
"Why, are you moved?"
After Master Yang left, the spirit of the weapon spoke.
"It would be a lie to say that I am not moved!"
Gu Zheng smiled. This time when he came to Wufeng Island as a guest, he actually encountered such a thing, which was really unexpected.
The story that Master Yang told Gu Zheng, regardless of whether he concealed any information, can be understood from another perspective just from the surface.
After the Tianxin Sect left, they left behind a mysterious box representing the inheritance. There were very precious things in the box. In addition to the missing mental method of the Tianxin Sect, there were also some things about the fairy formation outside the island.
However, this box of the Tianxin Sect was not left for the current Tianxin Sect! After all, when the Tianxin Sect left, they did not let anyone continue the incense of the Tianxin Sect, and the people who continued the incense of the Tianxin Sect were just a group of islanders who accidentally entered the ruins of the Tianxin Sect.
The things related to the inheritance were set with a very high difficulty to open. The people of the Tianxin Sect were looking for the inheritor in a different way! In other words, the box that Master Yang and others asked people to open did not belong to them in a sense. They were just discoverers and temporary owners, not the people that the Tianxin Sect really wanted to entrust!
In the eyes of Master Yang, Gu Zheng's character was good. After explaining it to him with reason and emotion, Gu Zheng should not have the idea of playing the box. But he was wrong. Although Gu Zheng was not a villain, he was not a gentleman either.
If the things in the box were not related to inheritance, then Gu Zheng would not cause any trouble. He would do things according to the request of Master Yang after receiving certain benefits. But the things left in the box were related to inheritance. If Gu Zheng could open the box, then in the original intention of the Tianxin Sect to leave the box, he should be the owner of the box!
"What are you thinking now?" asked the spirit of the weapon.
"All the ideas must be based on my ability to open the box, but if I can't open the box, then it's useless to think about it." Gu Zheng smiled.
"The box needs people with high growth potential to open it. Even if I haven't seen it, I know what kind of restrictions are placed on it! Don't worry, as long as you can see the box, I guarantee that you will be able to open it!" said the spirit of the weapon confidently.
"Since I can definitely open the box, my current thoughts are still the same as before. Tianxin Sect should not plot against me or play tricks on me in this matter."
"After all, no matter what, I am a guest invited to Tianxin Island. This Tianxin Sect is also the real 'Tianxin Sect' that has been passed down from generation to generation. I don't want to be a villain who only cares about profit."
"However, I am not a complete gentleman. If they want me to open the box, they must pay enough. This reward will not be a small amount, but it certainly cannot be compared with the overall value of the things in the box!" Gu Zheng said lightly.
After returning to Tianxin Sect, Master Yang immediately convened a high-level secret meeting. In addition to him, the other three people present were the three elders of Tianxin Sect.
After Master Yang told the three elders everything that happened in the tree house word for word, their faces were also very ugly.
"This Gu Zheng is so hateful! What is this? Is this a threat?" The elder said angrily.
"Threat? I don't think this is a simple threat. I think he is very cunning. He asked for a high reward to cover up his real purpose of wanting to see the box! After all, he insisted on the reward, so we naturally think that he is willing to give up the idea of opening the box for a high reward." The second elder said coldly.
"Gu Zheng's character is okay. This is the result of our previous investigation. There is no need to think too badly of him. Maybe he is as simple as he said? If you want him to give up the box, you can give him enough reward!" The third elder thought for a while and said.
"Humph, this is just your guess. We can't take any risks in this matter." The first elder snorted coldly.
"Great elder, there is no time for us to be cautious! Gu Zheng is the person who is most likely to open the box in history. If we miss him, I don't need to say more about the seriousness of the matter, right? Even if there is a risk, we must take it." The third elder advised.
"Not necessarily. The jade slip only says that people who can make the 'Heavenly Heart Pearl' emit strong light have more possibilities to open the box, but it does not say that it is certain! Moreover, we have not only invited Gu Zheng as a distinguished guest this time, but we can also let Monk Wuwei try it first!" said the second elder.
"Monk Wuwei? No matter how I look at it, I feel that this guy is unreliable. Not to mention that he can't make the 'Heavenly Heart Pearl' glow as brightly as Gu Zheng, let him try to open the box. Should we also tell him the truth in advance?"
The words of the third elder made the other two elders silent. They were really distressed about this matter.
In addition to the need for a predestined person, the safety measures for the box left by the 'Tianxin Sect' actually have a very simple but extremely headache-inducing preventive measure.
