Chapter 183 Monk Market

[After you returned to the Gu Mansion, there was no difference in your attitude. You seemed to just go out for a walk. 】

[The head of the Gu family was relieved and asked you to follow Gu Yuerong to study at Qinhaizong. 】

[Gu Yuerong's studies have been delayed for half a month. Everything has been prepared. You will be on your way soon. 】

[There are many guards in the convoy, Xiaoxiao retreats, evil spirits are hard to attack, and the journey is safe. 】

[You travel with the motorcade. In addition to daily practice, you often go out to explore and observe the scenery along the road. 】

The Gu family treated Bai Lang well, and their attitude was more nurturing.

Even if the white wolf suddenly disappeared for half a month, the head of the Gu family thought it had stayed in the house all day, was too depressed, and went out to relax.

Isn't this coming back again?

So, the head of the Gu family gave some advice, had a heart-to-heart talk with Bai Lang, and asked Gu Yuerong to take him to Qinhai Sect to see more of the world.

Therefore, on the way to Qinhaizong, Jiang He occasionally went out to explore, and the convoy guards did not stop him, so he was used to it.

"This training method is too Buddhist..."

Even Jiang He couldn't help but complain.

However, this is not incomprehensible.

Miraculous spiritual beasts can certainly grow up and transform into human forms, and can be treated as genius monks.

Gu Yuerong carelessly cultivated the white wolf since he was a child and has become bonded with it.

In this case, you only need to continue to cultivate feelings, cultivate three views, and let it know the kindness and repay it, and you will naturally be able to let it stay in the Gu family.

There is no need to use any drastic measures, it is unnecessary.

It was precisely the attitude of the head of the Gu family that Jiang He decided to return to the Gu family instead of leaving directly, and look for opportunities to repay the kindness of saving and nurturing him in the future.

"Besides, compared to humans, the body of a spirit beast is indeed inconvenient."

"I have to reach at least the second level before I can initially transform into a human, and the third level before I can have a real human form."

"Before this, it will be much more convenient to have Gu's help."

…

On the way to Qin Hai Sect, the convoy would often pass by towns to replenish supplies and rest their spirits.

Jiang He also took this opportunity to enter the city. In restaurants and teahouses, he heard many anecdotes about the world and gained a deeper understanding of the current era.

He found out through small talk in the teahouse.

There is a huge difference between the "peace and prosperity" of the Luo Dynasty and the "peace and prosperity" of the Meng Dynasty.

The peaceful and prosperous age of the Meng Dynasty was truly a peaceful world.

The court is strong, the weather is smooth, and the people live in peace.

Occasionally, there are some monsters that hurt people, or murderers and criminals, and they mostly happen in the border areas.

The Luo Dynasty was quite different.

Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, while chivalry violates the law with force.

Although the Luo family's court itself also possesses wonderful magic, the contemporary Luo Emperor is one of the most powerful people in the world, an eighth-level master.

However, Luo Di is not the only strong one after all.

In the case where many sects also master the wonderful method.

The imperial court was essentially just the largest sect.

It's similar to the feudal era in Earth's history.

Although the imperial court has the highest status and power and can give orders to various sects, in each state, it is the local sects that have the greatest influence, not the imperial court.

Even local governments must first communicate and discuss with the local sects when executing government orders.

In this case, the effectiveness of imperial decrees was also greatly reduced.

Especially for those monks, the binding force is quite weak.

From the chats among the tea guests, we can know that fights and vendettas among monks are not uncommon, and it is equally common to kill people in a rage.

Even though many sects would value the character of their disciples, they would also cooperate with the court to arrest the culprits.

But as long as there are people, this kind of grudges and hatreds cannot be eliminated.

"At the end of the day, I'm one of them."

Jiang He didn't hesitate.

He has experienced three worlds and multiple lives.

He knew that when traveling in the world, it was impossible to stay aloof, and he never thought about creating a harmonious society where everyone was selfless.

Compared to the saint who saves everything.

He prefers to be a knight who enjoys revenge.

As for the choices made by the Wu Dynasty, Meng Dynasty, and even the demon refiners in the past, they only followed their own hearts and did what they could.

At this time, Jiang He's focus was on another thing.

"No wonder I didn't cause much trouble after I attacked and killed two demon monks."

"The temple where the fat monk lives was originally a small temple in Bazhou, and he was an ordinary monk among them."

"After they disappeared, the temple conducted an investigation but found no results, so they probably gave up on the investigation."

"As for revealing their true identity, they probably haven't considered this possibility at all."

While Jiang He felt reassured, he also became more vigilant.

The peaceful and prosperous age of the Luo Dynasty was aimed at ordinary people.

While large-scale battles rarely break out among monks, most ordinary people can spend their lives safely and even enjoy the benefits of good weather.

After all, they had nothing to covet.

But for the monks, especially for him as a "wonderful spiritual beast", it is not without any danger.

As a miraculous spiritual beast, not only his bones, blood, skin and flesh are treasures of heaven and earth, but his own bloodline is also extremely precious.

He might be coveted by the beast taming sect and be used as a ruthless breeding machine.

Being the ancestor of the Blood-treading Sirius is just a joke.

Jiang He didn't want to see wolf cubs with his own blood everywhere in a few years...

"Wolf children, you must protect yourself when you go out!"

When he left the city the next day, Jiang He shrank in size and stayed in Gu Yuerong's carriage to practice all day.

[Luo Li 3765, the twenty-first day of the good month. 】

[Having been on the road for half a year, after a tiring journey, Gu's motorcade arrived in Cangzhou, rested for a few days, and then headed to Qinhaizong. 】

[The Qinhai Sect is located on the fairy island in the sea and masters the magic of the sound of the piano. 】

[The piano can confuse people's hearts and influence their minds; it can also transform the sound into weapons and kill the enemy. 】

[Someone from the Gu family once worshiped the Qinhai Sect. He had good qualifications and became an elder of the sect. He thought of the blood connection and showed up to introduce Gu Yuerong to the sect to practice. 】

[You also go to Qindao and practice cultivation with him. 】

[Before traveling, the head of the Gu family has stored resources in the business. Gu Yuerong also withdraws resources to support you while practicing the piano. 】

[You also often go fishing at sea to find prey and hone your skills. 】

[Practice has no time, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye. 】

[You stepped onto the second level and successfully transformed into a human form. 】

Jiang He's eyes were filled with joy.

Finally transformed.

Even the transformation of the second level strength is relatively reluctant.

It is similar to most monsters. It has just completed a slight transformation and has human-like limbs and posture, but the overall state of the white wolf is still maintained.

For Jiang He, it is still extremely important!

The first thing he did after transforming was to try the wonderful techniques he had learned.

"Most of the Taoist and magical methods are still unable to be used..."

"Is it a racial difference? No wonder those monsters in the Wu Dynasty never learned the human race's military strength and attack and killing methods."

"However, many sword techniques can work normally. I can condense sword energy and release sword techniques, and the power is not weakened at all."

"Some marksmanship has weakened a lot."

"This is probably related to the talent [Sword Heart Transparency]."

Jiang He felt satisfied.

Although many spells cannot be used, as long as the sword skills are effective, it means that his combat skills are still among the best in the world!

If he had been able to use his sword skills when fighting the fat monk earlier, he would not have suffered any damage at all when he killed him.

The initial transformation gave Jiang He great motivation.

In order to regain his body, he continued to practice with all his strength and sprinted to the third level.

It's just that the method of supernatural power is too mysterious and the proficiency growth is slow. In addition, the spiritual beast's cultivation speed is far slower than that of the human race, and even Ega's growth speed cannot be increased.

After practicing for another two years, the third level is still far away.

At this time, it was Gu Yuerong who caught up.

The wonderful method of piano music she practices is much simpler to get started than Meng Chao's wonderful pen method.

In addition, she has good natural resources. She has practiced piano since she was a child and has a lot of resources as a foundation. After being exposed to the magic method, she has reached the peak of the first level in just four years.

The growth rate is only half a step slower than Jiang He.

When she broke through to the second level, her path to seclusion became turbulent.

[According to the rules of the Qinhai sect, if a disciple breaks through to the second level, he needs to go out to practice, travel around the world, and polish his Qinxin. 】

[Gu Yuerong wants to take you out to the island and travel around the world. 】

[Of course, you know the hardships of the mortal world, and you want to practice in seclusion and improve your strength. 】

[Seeing Gu Yuerong packing his luggage, he decided...]

[A: Go out together, B: Stay on the island, C: Leave on your own, D: Intervene personally. 】

Just like when Jiang He traveled around the world to hone his painting skills.

The wonderful method of Qin Hai Sect also requires traveling around the world to polish the heart of the piano and create piano scores. It is not a method that can be grown in seclusion.

only……

"This mortal world is not safe at all."

Ega makes a choice.

【Go out together】

The world of mortals is dangerous. Gu Yuerong, a little girl wandering outside, might encounter something.

Even the elders of Qin Haizong or Gu Yuerong might secretly arrange guardians to ensure her safety.

But there are some things that even the guardians cannot take care of.

After being together for so long, Jiang He already regarded Gu Yuerong as a junior, not to mention receiving so much care from the Gu family.

Traveling together can be regarded as taking care of the younger generation.

…

Gu Yuerong didn't know what Jiang He was thinking.

After she got the opportunity to practice, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep. Early the next morning, she took her packed luggage to the island pier.

After saying goodbye to her fellow apprentices, she took a boat to Cangzhou. After setting foot on land, she couldn't help but shout with excitement.

"I'm back!"

Pedestrians on the pier looked sideways.

Her cheeks turned red, and she walked forward with her gig bag on her back.

She first played in Cangzhou City for a few days. When she was leaving the city, she looked at the giant white wolf beside her, with a flash of expectation in her eyes.

"Xiaobai, can you let me sit down?"

The white wolf glanced at her and quickly shrunk.

He jumped up and landed on her shoulders.

"I'm asking you to sit down, not you!"

The little white wolf closed his eyes and lay down to sleep.

"……mean!"

…

[You go out with Gu Yuerong and travel around the world of mortals. 】

[Before Gu Yuerong went out, he also listened to the instructions from his sect seniors and knew that wealth should not be revealed in vain. Although he was a little immature, he was also cautious. 】

[Occasionally when I see a poor person, I feel pity and give alms; or when I see something unfair, I help. 】

[Because he kept in mind the teachings and his identity as Qin Hai’s successor, it did not cause many twists and turns. 】

【Visit the piano club along the way, travel around the mountains and rivers, and return to my hometown. 】

[You are happy to be quiet, lie on Gu Yuerong's shoulder every day, and practice with peace of mind. 】

[Luo Li year 3770, the thirteenth day of the lunar month. 】

[Gu Yuerong was passing through Qingzhou and heard that a gathering of monks was about to be held. He was curious, so he asked about the time and wandered around the city to wait. 】

[Half a month passed and the meeting began. 】

[You follow Gu Yuerong into the market and see that it is very popular. 】

[There are monks from the Weapon Sect selling magic weapons, there are monks from the Beast Sect selling spiritual beasts, there are also talismans, paintings, swords, elixirs, and medicine...]

[You and Gu Yuerong, seeing this scene for the first time, were extremely excited and wandered around, never wanting to leave. 】

Walking into the gathering of monks with Gu Yuerong, Jiang He felt an inexplicable feeling of spiritual energy reviving.

In the future era, not to mention monks, even warriors will be scarce.

Ordinary people don't have enough to eat, let alone practice exercises.

Even if there are any gatherings of warriors, they will sell some gold and iron weapons, rare herbs, or practice techniques found somewhere.

How unlike this gathering of monks!

Although it still seems relatively shallow, the magical artifacts, talismans, elixirs, etc. do not have any brilliance and are not much different from ordinary artifacts on the surface.

Even those selling spirit beasts mostly sell common spirit beasts, not any rare and exotic ones.

But it still feels a bit more like a spiritual practice.

certainly.

Jiang He did not forget to use magical powers to cover himself.

In the eyes of others, he was just an ordinary spiritual beast cub, and even the beast-training monks didn't even look at him.

Jiang He was cautious, and Gu Yuerong was no less cautious.

Before she went out, she heard many threatening stories from her senior brothers about "riches exposed in the market," "killing people to seize treasures," and "being intercepted and killed."

As a result, she was always nervous after entering the market, for fear of being stared at.

Even if I see something that interests me and I like, I don’t dare to spend money to buy it.

Since she was not good at concealing her inner thoughts, this feeling of being excited but afraid to buy was revealed, but it became a cover-up.

People thought she was a poor person and failed to discover her true identity as a rich woman.

Until the market closed, she didn't buy a single thing.

[The market is closed and the monks disperse. 】

[Although Gu Yuerong returned empty-handed, he was still very excited. 】

[She recalled that in the market, there was a monk selling magical instruments, which were rare and rare. She wanted to buy a few pieces and take them home as gifts. 】

[So I asked around and learned that he lived in the countryside outside the city. He was a casual cultivator. He was quite talented in the art of weapon refining and was somewhat famous. 】

[The next day, Gu Yuerong prepared gifts and went outside the city to pay a visit. 】

[When the other party learned of his intention, he said that refining weapons would take time. All the magical weapons he had prepared previously had been sold out. If you are not in a hurry, you can come back in seven days. 】

[Gu Yuerong readily agreed. 】

[Seven days passed, and when we arrived outside the village, the other party had prepared the magic weapon, made the transaction, and left happily. 】

[Of course, you have a keen sense. After close contact with the casual cultivator, you smelled some blood and noticed something strange. 】

【Then it was decided...】

[A: Side reminder, B: Exploring alone, C: Ignore it, D: Personal intervention. 】
