Chapter 266: The Adventures of Bai Suqing in Reading Books
After defeating Xiaoman in one fell swoop, Gu Ke changed his avatar to look after her.
The original body quietly returned to Yulong Cave Mansion, went to the hot spring to take a bath, and then appeared in the room where Bai Suqing was resting tonight.
The twelve glass ceiling chandeliers were all lit up, illuminating the room.
The jade peach-like body leaned against the bamboo couch, drawing a freehand landscape painting, holding a book in his hand, reading with relish.
It must be said that sleeping for twenty years is also a good thing for Bai Suqing.
The books collected by Gu Ke in these years are incomparable to those in the first few years.
The stronger the strength of Xianshan, the more awed the big and small forces of Dawu are.
The importance of many middle and upper-grade martial arts that were originally intended to be kept as trump cards has also been reduced step by step.
Although there are only a few hundred middle and upper-grade martial arts that Gu Ke got from the eldest lady, it is enough to cover the martial arts needs of most people.
After becoming a master of martial arts theory, he would rest and proofread these martial arts, and finally print out ordinary secret books in batches for trading.
He was too lazy to practice martial arts that were not produced by the system.
First, they had no characteristics, and second, it took time to practice, and the level could not be low, which was too far from the system martial arts and skills of initiation.
Instead of spending karma money to initiate these martial arts, it is better to issue ordinary secret books and let people practice on their own.
Anyway, after the movable type printing press was installed in the processing workshop, as many ordinary secret books as needed, just issue a processing order, and no longer need Saranzhu to act as a human printer.
There are almost no great martial artists who can refuse to trade martial arts secret books for other books.
The large number of books exchanged have physical backups, one is used as the "master copy" printed by the processing workshop, and the other is put in the study for Xiaoman and others to read.
Sister Bai is like a heavy online literature enthusiast who had not read novels for 20 years in the previous life, and when she opened her eyes again, she had a mountain of books.
For people who like reading, this is undoubtedly a great happiness.
Therefore, even if she noticed Gu Ke coming in, she didn't care, and most of her attention was still on the words in the book.
Gu Ke walked to the couch, lay on it, and put his hands under the thin blanket from behind to hug her.
Bai Suqing subconsciously followed those hands and adjusted her posture to make herself more comfortable.
Her empty left hand also covered his hand and gently rubbed it.
All the movements were natural, as if it was a matter of course.
Gu Ke sniffed the strange fragrance lingering in his nose, and felt comfortable and satisfied.
With his hands on the high hill and his body in the valley, he felt peaceful in his heart. He couldn't help but yawn a little, closed his eyes, and his body rarely entered a dormant state.
His mind entered the void and floated leisurely.
At some point, a blue-white dragon appeared beside him, rolled him up and lifted him up.
One man and one dragon rolled and rotated in the void, passing through the drizzling clouds and rain, thousands of stars, and reaching the deep abyss of the universe.
Suddenly he came to his senses and saw Bai Suqing staring at him. The blood in her body was rolling like a dragon. The blood in the chakra controlled her muscles, pushing them forward layer by layer, just like the giant dragon in his mind just now.
Seeing him open his eyes, she did not stop, but her blood circulation became faster.
Gu Ke stretched out his hand to help her stabilize her sitting posture, and teased: "Have you finished reading Sister Bai's book?"
This was exchanged for a look that seemed to be angry and smiling, and her blood was rapidly tightened, and it kept changing from hot to cold.
He immediately shut up.
Bai Suqing then hummed: "You came here in the middle of the night, could it be that you really want to watch me read?"
Gu Ke thought for a while: "The ancients said: The human body is a book, so I really like reading books."
Bai Suqing leaned over: "How do you plan to read it?"
Gu Ke came forward: "This book is rich in content and ups and downs. Naturally, you have to read it carefully and think about it carefully."
Bai Suqing hummed lightly and said nothing more.
A red rosy glow just after the rain, a few strands of soft green just mixed with the smoke.
The flute in front of the peak is smiling obliquely, and the peach blossoms in the stream are crowned upside down.
Amid the chirping of the orioles and swallows, Gu Ke reads very seriously, grinding and studying bit by bit, so that he can fully appreciate the deep and rich background.
After a long time, the sound of reading is low and stopped, and the room is quiet again.
One side of the roof is completely opened, allowing the room to bathe in the summer starlight.
The gentle night breeze rolls up the fragrance of flowers and sweeps in, bringing the long white gauze curtain to flutter and dance.
It passes over the skin and dissipates the heat in the sweat.
It is the cold starlight from the window, and the whole body is fragrant with orchids and hyacinths.
The fingertips climb over the undulating curve with interest, and the mouth and nose are filled with a strange fragrance several times stronger than usual.
Gu Ke couldn't help but be curious: "Sister Bai, did you originally have this strange fragrance, or did you get it after practicing the Martial God Realm?"
"You are right, and you are not right." Bai Suqing's voice was lazy, but there was also the ease after the blood in her body was filled and calmed down: "Whether it is the Martial Soul Realm or the Martial God Realm, the practice of these two will make people have some magical powers."
"These magical powers do come from oneself, but they will not be felt until the Martial Saint."
"But before breaking through the Martial Saint and stepping into the Martial Soul or Martial God, they will not improve individual strength."
"So, it comes from me, but it is not completely from myself."
Gu Ke pondered, and put his hand on Sister Bai's conscience: "Then tell me the truth, how dangerous is the practice of the Martial God Realm?"
Bai Suqing looked down, did not stop his lie detection method, and thought for a moment before saying: "To be honest, the practice of the Martial God Realm is far less dangerous than the Martial Soul Realm, at least it is not so easy to die, so the situation of the eldest lady is much more dangerous than mine."
After a pause, she didn't notice that his hand tightened, and she felt bored in her heart: she thought this could scare him, but alas, this little man is getting harder and harder to tease.
Next, she briefly explained the differences between the Martial God Realm and the Martial Soul Realm.
Some of them are mentioned in the secret book of Tianji Soul Condensation, so Gu Ke knows about it.
But when it comes to the deeper tips of Martial God Realm cultivation, Tianji Ninghun will definitely not mention them all. This time, I finally got first-hand information from Sister Bai.
Well, this information is quite hot.
The ultimate goal of the Wuhun realm is to form a Wuhun, communicate and even control external forces.
The ultimate goal of the Martial God Realm is to tap into the power of the bloodline, merge the body and bloodline into one, and become a "god" in the flesh.
The goals of the two are different, and the problems they face in cultivation are also different.
The greatest danger in the Wuhun realm is communicating with the outside world using one's mind. This behavior is more exaggerated than a child dancing with a machete, and can be called an ant dancing with a giant axe.
If you are not careful, if the "giant axe" moves, you may be crushed by the "giant axe".
The Martial God Realm is different. Its cultivation process is to stay away from this kind of danger.
But the difficulty of cultivation also comes from this. You can't borrow huge external power. Just relying on the hidden power of the blood in your body is like digging a sea in the desert.
The power that is easy to obtain cannot be controlled, and the power that is easy to control is difficult to improve. This is the difficulty for the Martial Saint to go further in the future.
Not taking risks seems like there is no way forward, taking risks seems like a dead end.
Gu Ke looked at the first-hand information and thought thoughtfully: With the help of the cave's characteristics, the biggest risk of losing control in the Wuhun realm is actually not that scary.
At least the eldest lady's cultivation in the martial spirit realm has been smooth sailing.
Her extreme talent is only part of the reason. The bigger reason is that she has stayed in the cave for more than ten years, which has strengthened her mental awareness to an astonishing level.
Ants dancing with giant axes are dangerous no matter how skilled they are.
What if the ants were replaced by children, or even ordinary teenagers? When one's own strength reaches a certain level, skills can make up for the shortcomings.
If you can't dance with the giant axe, if you move it even a little, you will be easily injured at most. If you want to die, it will definitely not be as fast as an ant.
Cultivation in the Martial God Realm is even simpler.
Jade Dragon Cave Mansion can lack many things, but it does not lack resources to strengthen the body's vitality.
He eats the best exotic ingredients every day, and takes special elixirs when he has nothing to do. In addition, he combines the three properties of the cave's life essence, eating wind and drinking dew, and relaxing tendons and cleansing marrow.
Even if Bai Suqing's bloodline power starts from just a bean sprout, he can still make up Optimus Prime.
Uh, okay, it should be the small mountain peach that makes up the big flat peach.
Putting aside this reverie, he turned to ask another important question: "The Heart Sutra of Water and Fire Hui Meng only involves the cultivation method of the Martial Saint. Where did you get this news about the Martial God Realm?"
Bai Suqing reached out and picked up the peach stuffing jar next to her. She drank heavily from the mouth of the jar without using a bowl.
After burping, she threw the wine jar back on the small table, smiled and pinched his face: "I thought you could really resist asking."
Gu Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and grabbed it back: "I wanted to ask from the beginning, but you were too busy...ah, no, I was too busy and forgot to ask."
Bai Suqing snorted softly and took back the slender jade finger that was placed on the other person's middle. She was very satisfied with his behavior of taking "responsibility".
Then he said: "You have been observing me since I woke up, and you still looked around while I was practicing, right?"
"The most important thing is to make sure you are safe and sound." Gu Ke said calmly.
Bai Suqing chuckled, anticipating his attitude: "If it weren't for a coincidence, I wouldn't have known that Hui Meng Bai Zhuan and Dong Fu's blessing might cause an accident."
When Gu Ke heard this, he perked up and said, "Oh?"
Bai Suqing frowned, pushed him down, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Returning to a dream is to let the spirit enter consciously and unconsciously, but I am more than that."
Next, Gu Ke listened to her talk and understood the adventure that happened after she entered samadhi.
Normally speaking, deep trance is only the best state that can be achieved by returning to dreams. This is also explained in the Heart Sutra.
But he couldn't resist Gu Ke's efforts to obtain the soul source and improve the cave's efficiency exponentially.
When the bedroom's requiem and calming properties were +2, Bai Suqing felt a vague sense of "breakthrough" in her mind.
After this characteristic reaches +3, this "breakthrough" finally arrives.
She only felt that her mind was constantly rising, penetrating some kind of barrier.
Then there was a period of chaos and unconsciousness. When he woke up again, he suddenly found that his mind had come to another strange and mysterious world, where monsters were everywhere.
Later she learned that it was what the monsters called the demon world, and the monsters called it the spiritual world.
Both demons and ghosts say that they are the masters of that world, so they name the world after their respective races.
In fact, the monsters there were almost the same in strength, and they were constantly fighting, but no one had the absolute upper hand.
Bai Suqing named that world smoothly, and called it the World of Demons and Creatures.
When she first arrived in the world of monsters, her mind was attached to a newborn monster.
When Gu Ke heard this, he couldn't help but murmured in his heart: Is Sister Bai going to start the script of being reborn in another world and becoming a demon? Or is it the old man who turned into that little monster? Oh no, is he the spirit of the old woman?
This unreasonable idea was immediately rejected.
Bai Suqing used Dream Return and the blessing of system characteristics to enter that world by coincidence. This state is very strange.
She could use the senses of the young monster to feel the world of monsters, but she could not control it.
There she could only receive information one-way, but could not transmit anything.
To use a common term in science fiction novels, that is, an observer.
Just when she was shocked and curious, she died.
Or it should be said that the young monster she depended on died, and was caught and eaten by a passing monster, sucking out the skin and bones.
Bai Suqing could even clearly feel the pain of her flesh and blood being sucked away bit by bit, as if she had experienced it herself.
Finally, as the young monster was sucked into a dry corpse, her mind returned to chaos and fell into an unconscious state.
Hearing this, and noticing her mental fluctuations, Gu Ke couldn't help but frown, releasing a peaceful mind to wrap her up.
Bai Suqing hummed comfortably and leaned closer with satisfaction.
Even though she was already mentally tough at this moment and would not be shaken by a little memory, the experience of returning to the dream was not a pleasant thing.
Gu Ke's considerate action allowed her to keep a calm mind and continue to tell the story.
Back to the topic, she thought that this "death" was the end, but she "woke up" again and found herself possessed by the second young monster.
If there is any difference, it is that the monster types are inconsistent and the monster itself is a little stronger.
But this "strength" is extremely limited, so not long after, she "died" again.
This time the young monster died in the sudden attack of another monster, and was eaten alive together with its parents.
Bai Suqing felt that this death was relatively "easy" - the sudden attacking monster bit the young monster in one bite, and it almost didn't have time to feel the pain before its head shattered and died.
Gu Ke's expression was inexplicable: Wait, why does it seem like an infinite flow script here? Or a simulator script?
And Bai Suqing's story has just begun, and it is far from the end.
Then it was her third, fourth, and countless cycles of death → possession.
As the number of possessions increased, the monsters she possessed became more mature and stronger, and their survival time was no longer so short.
More importantly, she had more control over the state of possession.
The one-way reception did not change, but she could selectively receive certain perception content.
To use a simpler metaphor, it was similar to "offline".
In this way, she no longer had to passively receive information about all the monsters' behaviors.
However, Bai Suqing was a ruthless person, and the information she actively blocked did not include the part when the monster died.
On the contrary, she felt that the feeling of facing death was very important.
Others at most narrowly escaped death, but she seemed to have experienced death.
It was just that with the blessing of the characteristics of the cave, her mind could withstand the impact of death again and again and persevere.
