Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 156 The Inheritance of Kong Xuan Sanren

"He's at the top of the mountain."

Shangguan Jin looked up at the top of Mount Lao, and said softly.

The morning sun was so bright that she had to close her eyes slightly and put her hands on her forehead.

Beside her, Chen Yanping stopped talking.

He had heard Gu Xu's name more than once in the discussions among his clansmen. He knew that he had solved the Lu family's haunted house case that many people found difficult. new owner.

But at this moment, when he saw Gu Xu standing on the top of the mountain overlooking the earth, he felt that he still underestimated the young man who only had the second level of cultivation.

The leap on the cliff seems to be easy.

But in fact, this requires not only the ability to comprehend the rules, but also absolute self-confidence and courage to move forward.

Only when one has [-]% confidence in one's own judgment can one dare to jump down that towering and steep mountain without hesitation.

After all, if you make a wrong judgment, you will fall to the cliff and die tragically, and be crushed into a pulp by the terrifying coercion within the forbidden area of ​​Laoshan.

Chen Yanping felt that if it was him, there was a high probability that he would not be able to do it.

"This young man named Gu Xu, after possessing the 'Jinghong Brush', has now received the inheritance of Kongxuan Sanren," Chen Yanping thought silently, "If he can really be as father planned, with Su Hui The younger sister is married, as long as he doesn't die halfway, he will definitely become a great help to our Xiangyang Chen family in the future.

"It seems that I have to find a way to make a good relationship with him as soon as possible. Maybe he will play a key role in my fight for the position of Patriarch in the future."

Shi Lei looked at the young man standing on the top, with a faint smile of appreciation on his face.

Not long ago, he felt a little depressed because the little cabbage he had worked so hard to raise was raped by this stinky boy, and he felt that Shi Xiaohan's girl simply forgot her father when she had a lover.

But at this moment, Shi Lei's thoughts inadvertently changed to: "Xiaohan's vision is as good as her mother's."

As for the fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen, he silently lamented that he was not wronged to lose to Gu Xu in the "Land of Discussion of Dao" - the ghost knows how much strength this guy has hidden!

It's a pity that he has lost all his cultivation now, and he has no chance to defeat Gu Xu head-on and regain his position.

…………

The top of Laoshan.

Gu Xu followed the two little Taoist boys to the door of the antique building surrounded by flowers and plants.

I saw its carvings, Luanloulu, and Qingsuodanying; the pictures are made of clouds, and the paintings are made of fairy spirits.

Magnificent but not lacking in refinement, rich but not vulgar.

Standing at the foot of the stone steps, Gu Xu looked up, and at a glance he saw the plaque of "Dongtianfudi" hanging on the door, and the couplet on the pillar that read "Body is better than idle clouds".

"Your Excellency, this building is called 'Xianyunju', and it was the residence where the immortal master practiced in seclusion," said the black-robed boy next to Gu Xu. "In fact, it is essentially a magic weapon. Zoom in and zoom out.

"When the immortal master traveled around the world, he always took it with him."

"The other items left by the immortal master are also in this 'Xianyun Residence'."

Having said that, Xiao Daotong paused for a moment, then looked at Gu Xu and said, "Of course, it belongs to you now."

"Is this the legendary magic weapon of space..." Gu Xu looked up and down this "Xianyun Residence", feeling extremely happy, and only felt that his trip was worthwhile.

Before that, every time he went on a mission to kill ghosts, he would worry that he didn't have enough magical treasures and talismans - after all, there was an upper limit to the capacity of his pockets.

However, after owning "Xianyunju", he will no longer be troubled by such problems.

So he smiled slightly and said to Xiao Daotong, "What should I do now?"

The little boy in black took out a golden key engraved with auspicious clouds from his arms, and handed it to Gu Xu: "This is the key of 'Xianyunju'. The person who owns this key is ' The master of Leisurely Cloud Residence."

Gu Xu reached out to take the key.

Then, he stepped up the gray stone steps and inserted it into the keyhole at the door lock of "Xianyunju".

At this moment, a bright golden light flashed in front of his eyes, and then a mysterious feeling flooded into his mind.

He clearly felt that he had already established a spiritual connection with this "Xianyun Residence" - he could shrink it down to the size of a palm with just a thought.

In the next second, the scarlet door slowly opened to both sides.

Gu Xu strode across the threshold, walked into the room, and curiously observed the place where the immortals used to retreat.

Different from the exquisite and gorgeous appearance, the interior furnishings of "Xianyunju" are simple and plain.

There is a gray marble table in the center of the room. On the table are a teapot, several teacups, a pen holder, an inkstone, several brushes, some old books and a few scattered pieces of rice paper.

Beside the table case, there are two simple bamboo chairs and an empty bird cage.

There is a couch that is neither wide nor narrow by the window. A green gauze curtain is hung on the couch, and a few yellowed books are also scattered.

On one side of the house, there is also a wooden screen.

On the screen is a song "Qing Ping Le" inscribed in cursive script, the content of which is as follows:

"The flowers in the small courtyard are crippled, and the sun is setting in my heart. The wild geese in the sky are hard to return, and the pedestrians are in a slump.

"Don't sigh that summer cicadas are easy to grow old, and Qiuxian is just young. Flying through the six realms of reincarnation, ascending to the heavens of the dragon and the jade tower."

In addition to the difficult handwriting of this poem, the meaning is actually very easy to understand-Shangquan sighs that time is fleeting and youth is gone; Xiaquan warns young people to seize the time and work hard to practice, so that they have a chance to transcend reincarnation and ascend to immortality.

In Gu Xu's opinion, compared with the previous masterpieces, this song "Qing Ping Le" is of average level, and the language is more straightforward.

However, since Kongxuan Sanren's main business is cultivating immortals and studying the Dao of Karma, writing poetry should only be his hobby, so naturally we can't expect him to write such excellent works.

…………

At this time, the little Taoist boy in black suddenly appeared beside Gu Xu, pointed to the table in the middle of the room and said to him: "Your Excellency, there are two secret books of Taoism left by the immortal master on that table, and he is on the table." Some notes on the nature of the Karma Avenue left before the ascension.

"According to the original plan of the immortal master, he intends to hand over these secret books to three different descendants to inherit. But since only one of you successfully passed the test on the mountain road and climbed to the top of Laoshan, these things are now yours. gone."

Hearing this, Gu Xu couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

He once thought that most of the reserve members of the "Shenji Battalion" were of a higher level than him, had a deeper background than him, and held more trump cards than him - presumably there would be a fierce battle on the top of Laoshan Mountain , Fight to the death for these inheritances.

However, Gu Xu did not expect that they all failed on this mountain climbing road.

This made him feel a strong sense of loneliness.

Afterwards, he walked towards the marble table, and saw the two secret books mentioned by the little Taoist boy in black at a glance——

"Abduction".

"Puppet".

Compared with the top-grade spells in the general library of the Exorcism Division, such as "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", "Jade Rainbow Glows the Sun", "Mount Tai Overwhelms", "Stars Sink and Earthquakes" and other top-grade spells, the names of these secret books left by Kongxuan Sanren are very simple and simple. No momentum.

At first glance, it doesn't look like a fairy's inheritance at all.

Gu Xu thought for a moment, then picked up the "Puppet Fuck" cheat book from the table.

As expected, this is a spell that manipulates puppets.

There are two ways to use this spell -

First, make puppets with materials such as wood, clay, ceramics, paper, corpses, etc., and remotely control them with "causal branches", just like a folk puppet show.

Since the existence of the "line of cause and effect" is extremely hidden, it is difficult for others to discover the connection between the monk and the puppet except for the high-level monks who practice the way of cause and effect.However, the distance between the monk and the puppet should not be too far, otherwise he would lose control of the puppet.

Second, divide one's own spirit and soul, and integrate it with the puppet to form a clone.Compared with ordinary puppets, the avatar can not only fully communicate with the main body, but also has its own true energy, can practice on its own, and use all the spells that the main body has mastered, and there is no distance limit.

In addition, if you want to kill a monk with a puppet clone, you must kill both his clone and the main body.

However, this method can only be used by monks who have reached the fifth level and can leave their bodies.

As a cautious person, this "Puppet" spell is undoubtedly very suitable for Gu Xu's taste-whether it is used to detect intelligence, disguise his identity, or most importantly save his life, it is very useful.

If Gu Xu were to choose one thing from all the remnants of Kongxuan Sanren, he would definitely choose it without hesitation.

He even had an idea in his mind that after he reached the fifth level of cultivation, he would create at least dozens of clones and hide them all over the country—this way, it would be hard for him to die.

…………

Gu Xu didn't start researching "Fucking Puppets" immediately.

After all, the entire "Xianyunju" is now his private property.He can take these spells home and slowly comprehend them.

He put aside the cheat book of "Fucking Puppets" and picked up "Abduction".

Then he was surprised to find that this spell was even more magical than "Fucking Puppets"!
Under normal circumstances, everything in the world has a "cause first, then an effect". Without a cause, there cannot be an effect, and if there is an effect, there must be a cause.It has a time sequence, the reason must come first, the result can only come later, and the time order of the two cannot be reversed.

For example, "If you sow melons, you will reap melons, and if you sow beans, you will reap beans."

For example, the sword must be swung first before the enemy can be slashed.

However, after using the "Abduction" method, the result can be determined first, and then the process can be deduced.

Such as the legendary "[-]% being caught empty-handed" or "whoever writes his name will die", can all be realized through this spell.

However, this "Abduction" spell can only be used after fully comprehending the "Avenue of Cause and Effect".

Moreover, it also has many constraints and backlash.

For example, it cannot be used on monks whose realm is much higher than their own; for example, the time interval between "cause" and "effect" cannot be too long; for example, the set "result" must have a reasonable and reasonable way of realization...

Otherwise, it will cause backlash, hurt one's body, mind and soul, and may even die.

After reading this, Gu Xu silently closed the cheat book.

This "Abduction" spell, he should not be able to master it in a short time.However, after he comprehends the "Avenue of Karma", it should become a powerful means for him to fight against enemies.

In addition, Gu Xu was also very fortunate that Kongxuan Sanren did not accept any disciples before his ascension.

And apart from him, there is no other successor.

Otherwise, if he meets an opponent who possesses the strange and unpredictable spell of "Abduction", he may not even know how he died.

…………

Finally, Gu Xu began to read the notes left by Kongxuan Sanren before his ascension.

Since these notes are scattered papers, they are not arranged in chronological order.

"...,
"The sixth day of April in the 38th year of Xingde.

"The weather was good today. I left Laoshan Mountain and came to Luojing City. I met with the Grand Master of Qi and briefly discussed with him the connection between the Dao of Karma and Dao of Talismans.

"As a teacher, it is really a pleasant thing to instruct the great master of the Great Qi Dynasty, the national teacher who is admired by everyone. I think that in the Great Qi Dynasty, few people should be able to enjoy the tea brewed by the national teacher himself.

"I asked the national teacher: 'Since you are a talisman cultivator, do you know what is the simplest talisman in the world?'

"The national teacher guessed with some uncertainty: 'Could it be words?'

"I shook my head and said: 'No, it's the 'name'.

"The national teacher is a little puzzled by this.

"In order to explain this truth, I raised the teacup on the table and said to the national teacher: 'What is this thing?'

"The national teacher replied: 'It's a teacup.'

"I then said: 'Well, if I hit someone with this teacup and kill them, what is it?'

"The national teacher thought for a while and said, 'Could it be...a weapon?'

"As expected of a sage who entered the Tao with talismans. The national teacher's understanding is really extraordinary-of course, it is still a little worse than me.

"So, I went on to explain that the essence of the Talisman is to engrave the word 'weapon' on the teacup in a unique language as the new name of the teacup—in this way, the teacup has The property of 'weapon'.

"For another example, the most basic 'Taishang Beiji Town Devil Killing Talisman' is equivalent to assigning the attribute of 'killing ghosts' to a piece of paper in the form of 'naming'.

"At this time, the national teacher raised another question: 'Then, is the name of each of us a kind of talisman?'

"I'm sure of that.

"A name is a charm engraved on the soul of each of us. It gives us identity and meaning of existence.

"Others can know our existence through our names. Our family, friendship, love, appreciation and hatred, all karma and fate, all point to the identity represented by our names.

"And some ghosts can also use this to exert influence on us through names."
