Chapter 408 Gu Qianyin’s Troubles
Su Chen and his companions went upstream along the river. Because the journey was long, they stopped and started, and their speed was not very fast.
Su Chen found that Gu Qianyin spoke very little in front of him today. She always lowered her head while walking, thinking about something, as if she was worried.
Thinking of Gu Qianyin, she always looked unhappy from time to time after the Anyang Martial Arts Conference.
"Qianyin, what's wrong?" Su Chen felt that it was time for him to care about this girl.
Gu Qianyin raised her head and looked at Su Chen in confusion, as if she didn't expect Su Chen to call her suddenly. After a moment of silence, he quickly said, "I'm fine."
Su Chen smiled and said, "It's okay to tell me if you have any troubles. Maybe I can help you."
Gu Qianyin hesitated for a long time before making up her mind. She looked at Mu Qingyun and Xue Yong not far away, and made sure they couldn't hear her. Then she whispered, "Su Chen, don't you think that the magic essence of the Seventh Prince and Yu Guang is very similar to my true essence?"
"Your true essence?"
Su Chen didn't expect Gu Qianyin to be worried about this, and couldn't help but smiled and shook his head.
Seeing his nonchalant expression, Gu Qianyin couldn't help but feel even more depressed, and said: "The magic essence of the Seventh Prince and Yu Guang is black, and my true essence sea is also black, and my true essence sea has the ability to devour other people's true essence. Does this mean that my true essence may also be magic essence?"
Su Chen smiled and said: "You mean, the "Five Color Divine Sound" I passed on to you is a magic technique?"
"No, no, no!" Gu Qianyin quickly denied, "I mean, could it be that my physique is some kind of magic bloodline..."
The technique that Su Chen passed on to her naturally couldn't be a magic technique, she knew this very well.
But she doubted whether her physique was related to the magic, otherwise why didn't others cultivate a black true essence sea, but she cultivated a black true essence sea, and also had the incredible ability to devour other people's true essence?
During this period of time, Gu Qianyin has been worrying about this matter, and it has even become a heartache for her.
Su Chen shrugged his shoulders: "Even if it is, what are you worried about? Whether it is the blood of the devil, it will not affect your practice."
Gu Qianyin was worried: "How can it not affect? Looking at Yu Guang's state, his mind has obviously begun to go crazy. What's more, I have heard that at the end of the practice of the devil, the mind of the devil will be completely devoured by the devil's thoughts and become a walking corpse. In that case..."
Gu Qianyin couldn't say anything more. If she ended up like that, she would rather die now than end up as a walking corpse.
"Do you know why those people were eventually devoured and became walking corpses? Is it just because they practiced the devil?" Su Chen asked.
Gu Qianyin hesitated and said, "Isn't it?"
Su Chen shook his head: "That's just one of the reasons. Another reason is that they themselves are not determined in martial arts, and becoming a walking corpse is also an inevitable result."
Gu Qianyin's eyes lit up slightly: "Why?"
"As we all know, practicing martial arts is a long and thorny road. On this road, there will always be people who go astray because of lack of great will and perseverance."
Su Chen paused and said, "For example, those who practice magic, they think they have found a shortcut and can gain powerful strength with less effort than ordinary people. But in fact, God is fair. Practicing magic will certainly improve their strength faster, but the price they have to pay is that their minds will eventually be devoured by the devil's thoughts."
"So, in the final analysis, it is because they themselves are not determined in martial arts and want to take shortcuts, so they will be tempted step by step by the magic skills, and finally step by step on the road of no return."
"Now, tell me, are you one of those people with a weak will?" Su Chen said lightly.
"Am I?"
Gu Qianyin asked herself, and then her eyes slowly became more and more determined. She shook her head and said, "Even if there is a shortcut, I will not take it. Cultivation is ultimately for yourself, not for others. If you take shortcuts in cultivation, you will definitely suffer in the end."
Su Chen smiled: "Since you have such a pure martial arts heart, why should you be afraid of the invasion of evil thoughts? Even if you are full of demonic energy and even practice the magic skills, you just need to remember that the so-called demon is in the heart, not in the body, let alone the law."
"Really?" Gu Qianyin was confused.
"That's right, even if your bloodline is indeed related to the magic, whether you become a demon ultimately depends on your will. As long as you stick to your original intention and are not tempted by the magic skills to get twice the result with half the effort, then you will not become a demon." Su Chen said.
"I understand."
Gu Qianyin nodded heavily. This conversation with Su Chen made her suddenly enlightened and completely let go of her worries.
But at the same time, she asked curiously: "Su Chen, how do you know so much?"
If Su Chen is good at both martial arts and alchemy and has created so many miracles, it can be barely understood that it is because he has received guidance from a master.
But he even knows things about the magic way, and he can explain it clearly, which is too incredible.
How many secrets and unexpected surprises are hidden in this body that looks like a 15-year-old boy?
However, Gu Qianyin's question, of course, did not get any positive answer from Su Chen.
The secret of Su Chen's rebirth, this is something he would never tell anyone, including those close to him. Telling them will only do them harm, not good.
After walking for two days, the group finally approached the place depicted on the treasure map.
Along the way, they saw a lot of warriors who were training in the Demonic Realm.
However, Su Chen gradually discovered that a considerable number of these warriors seemed a little strange.
This kind of strangeness does not mean that they have any unusual behavior, but on the contrary, their behavior is too normal, just like ordinary warriors who are training in the secret realm.
But it was because of this that Su Chen felt it was abnormal.
Because in the outer area before, most of the warriors he saw were fighting and killing each other. There was no law in this Demonic Realm, and no one knew when they would be expelled from the secret realm, so they all tried their best to snatch the treasures from others.
It didn't make sense. When they arrived in this hinterland area, everyone became peaceful and stopped fighting?
