Cultivating Immortals From Prison

call!

A cold wind blows!

Heavy snow rolled up in the sky, and Gu Shen's figure disappeared into the snow.

Eastern Wasteland, Central Territory, Holy City.

Gu family, in a courtyard.

The Gu family's mansion is very large, with many courtyards. Most of the courtyards are idle and uninhabited, but they are not abandoned. Zheng Lin and Song Yinzhang will clean them frequently. The monks clean the courtyard differently from ordinary people. Although there are many courtyards, although the area is large, But it's just a magic trick. Sometimes Zheng Lin will clean it with her own hands. She has always liked this feeling of mortal daily life.

In this courtyard, there is a thick sycamore tree, enough for two adults to stretch their arms around it. It is about thirty or forty years old, with thick branches and lush leaves, extending half of the yard.

This sycamore tree was the small sapling that Gu Shen bought and planted at his home in Qiu Mingfang for sixty coins. Now, nearly forty years later, the sapling that was as slender as a finger has now grown into a towering tree. Gu Shen, Zheng Lin, and Gu Xiao all had deep feelings for this sycamore tree. Later, they found an opportunity to transplant the sycamore tree from Qiu Mingfang in the capital of the Yin Kingdom in the Southern Region to the courtyard where they lived in the Holy City. There was already a pear tree in the house, so the sycamore tree was placed in another courtyard not far away.

At this moment, on the uppermost arm-thick branch of the sycamore tree, a woman wearing a blue dress was sitting here, leaning on the tree trunk, her feet swaying gently, her beautiful face slightly raised, looking towards the high and vast distance. Looking up from the blue sky.

Gu Xiao has followed Zheng Lin since childhood and has been greatly influenced by Zheng Lin, including in terms of dressing. Zheng Lin likes blue clothes, and Gu Xiao also likes to wear blue dresses. She often asks Sun Fengqing to buy some high-quality ones. Blue silk cloth was given to Zheng Lin, and he also made a blue skirt for Zheng Lin. The intimacy between her and Zheng Lin was far away from even Song Yinzhang, the biological mother.

The breeze blows, the branches and leaves of the sycamore tree rub together, making a swishing sound, and the blue skirt is also gently swaying. The quirky and naughty girl back then has now grown into a tall and delicate woman.

But now, she doesn't look very happy.

Gu Xiao looked up at the blue sky, frowning slightly. When he saw a white crane spreading its wings and flying far away in the distance, a flash of envy flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Smile."

At this time, a gentle female voice came from under the tree, calling Gu Xiao back from his trance.

Gu Xiao lowered his head and looked down. Through the branches and leaves, he could see the figure standing under the tree.

"Auntie."

Gu Xiao smiled and replied.

The graceful figure standing under the sycamore tree is Zheng Lin.

Nowadays, Zheng Lin has also reached the late stage of Xudan and has a lifespan of five hundred years. Compared with her lifespan of four to five hundred years, she is now in her prime.

Zheng Lin raised her hand to tuck a strand of green hair on her cheek behind her ear. The skin on her face was still as tight as a girl's, but it had lost its youthfulness and gained a touch of maturity and charm.

"I couldn't find you, and I wasn't with Fan'er, so I guessed you were here again."

Zheng Lin said.

Gu Xiao swung his feet gently, looked at the person closest to him below, and said with a smile, "Auntie understands me best."

Zheng Lin chuckled, shook her head, and said, "Baby girl, except for your father and your mother, no one really knows you better than me."

Gu Xiao reached out and plucked the palm-sized green sycamore leaves in front of him and said, "Auntie, you are the one who understands me best. You understand me better than my father and mother."

After so many years, Gu Xiao is no longer the willful little girl she used to be. With Song Yinzhang's concern, she has gradually accepted her biological mother. However, the word "Mother" has still never been uttered. In her heart, she is the closest to her. It's still my father and aunt.

Everyone knew what this little girl was thinking, but they never forced anything on her.

Zheng Lin gave Gu Xiao an angry look, but there was still a smile in the corner of her eyes. She raised this child with her own hands and really regarded it as her biological daughter. Now after hearing Gu Xiao's words, she was naturally happy in her heart.

Over the years, Gu Xiao has been clamoring to ask her aunt to give her a younger brother and sister. However, it is not easy for a monk to give birth to an heir. The higher the level of cultivation, the greater the difficulty. It seems that Gu Shen, with his current level of cultivation, wants to have another heir. , It’s really as difficult as climbing to the sky.

In order to continue their descendants, many monks choose to leave heirs when their cultivation is still shallow. Of course, it would be best if they can still leave heirs after their cultivation becomes more advanced in the future. However, Gu Shen's cultivation progressed too fast, and many things happened. Before he understood it, he had already become a high-level monk, and now he has become a mortal immortal.

Zheng Lin had never thought about having a biological child. Gu Xiao's child was enough for her.

"You've been coming here a lot lately. Are you worried?" Zheng Lin looked up at Gu Xiao and asked.

Gu Xiao grinned slightly and said, "Auntie, I'm fine. I just miss my childhood so much, so I came here to take a look. I remember you tied a swing to that branch for me before."

Gu Xiao said, pointing to a thick branch at the lower end of the sycamore tree.

When she was in Qiu Mingfang, Zheng Lin made a swing for her. Gu Xiao, who was still a little girl at that time, had a lot of fun playing with it, which made her two childhood friends, Zhao Xiaotang and Zhang Xiaowei, envious.

Zheng Lin smiled slightly, nodded, and moved her eyes slightly down, landing on the branch that still had some traces, and said: "When you were still in your infancy, I was the one who took care of you. Until now, you have not left. Pass me. You also know that I am the person who knows you best, and you cannot hide your thoughts from me."

Zheng Lin said slowly.

She personally raised Gu Xiao and knew Gu Xiao better than Song Yinzhang. How could she not know what this girl was thinking in the past few years?

Gu Xiao was nowhere to be seen today, so he knew she was here.

After listening to Zheng Lin's words, Gu Xiao paused slightly, and there seemed to be some peace for a moment in the trees and under the trees.

"Auntie, it's nothing serious. I just feel a little bored occasionally." Gu Xiao whispered, "But I only feel that way occasionally. I'm usually very happy most of the time."

Hearing this, Zheng Lin understood what Gu Xiao was thinking about.

This child has grown up after all and is no longer the child he used to be. In the past, when I was in Qiu Mingfang, I could still go out and play with two friends. But when I arrived in the Holy City, I was really lonely. Except for the Gu family and the Sun and Lu families, there was no one else in the Holy City. An empty city, although it was safely protected, was also imprisoned.

The adults of the previous generation can tolerate it, after all, they have truly traveled across a vast territory, but the new generation of young people is different. Almost half or even the entire memory is of this empty city, and other young people of the same age have already begun to travel Five domains.

In the nearly twenty years since they came to the Holy City, Gu Xiao, Song Xufan, Lu Qingning and others have only sneaked out two or three times, and they did not dare to go far.

They all have a very close relationship with Gu Shen. Gu Xiao and Song Xufan are Gu Shen's biological children and biological daughters. Lu Qingning is Gu Shen's disciple, and she is also Lu Yuanming's posthumous daughter. If the underworld seizes and threatens Gu Shen, no matter what Whether life-threatening or not, the consequences are extremely serious.

Gu Shen placed his relatives and friends in the holy city in order to prevent the underworld's evil hands. After all, the lessons learned from Qi Yuhuan's past were still fresh in his mind.

"Ugh."

Zheng Lin sighed in her heart.

Over the years, these children have indeed been wronged. Fan'er is better, he has a stable temperament and likes to be quiet and not active. Qing Ning is still young, so she can live in this holy city. Gu Xiao's temperament has been that he loves to move around and lively since he was a child. He has been unable to leave the Holy City for so many years and his nature has been restricted.

Zheng Lin pitied the child in her heart, but with a smile on her face, she said: "Xiaoxiao, you can go out soon. Now that Tianmen has surrounded the underworld, the underworld has been destroyed, and only Yama is still missing. When Yama is found, we will Then Yama will kill you, and you can go out and walk in the five realms, I believe in your father."

There has been no news of Gu Shen's departure for two years. Zheng Lin and others were naturally worried, but fortunately no bad news came out. He was most likely in retreat somewhere.

Gu Xiao nodded and chuckled, "It's okay, aunt, of course I trust daddy."

In Gu Xiao's mind, her father is the first-class figure in the world of cultivation, a majestic and chivalrous person. Although Yama is powerful, he will surely fall into his father's hands sooner or later. Once he kills Yama, she can go out.

Zheng Lin smiled slightly, raised her arm, waved, and said to the girl in blue sitting on the sycamore tree: "Okay, don't sit on it anymore, come back with me, your mother has steamed the cakes, go back and taste them .”

"Wow," Gu Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he said in surprise: "Auntie, did the new pastry you researched succeed?"

Zheng Lin smiled and nodded, "Yes, aren't you here to give us a taste?"

Zheng Lin, right? A breeze blew up in front of him, and Gu Xiao jumped down from the upper branch of the sycamore tree.

"let's go."

Gu Xiao reached out and took Zheng Lin's hand, looking impatient.

The two of them walked together to another courtyard not far away.

Zheng Lin looked at the laughing girl beside her and tightened her hand.

As Gu Xiao said, no one in the world understands her better than Zheng Lin.

Although Song Yinzhang is Gu Xiao's biological mother, she did not accompany or take care of her during her childhood. Although she has gradually been accepted by Gu Xiao in recent years, she still has not entered Gu Xiao's heart. Even though Song Yinzhang now wants to know more about Gu Xiao and wants Gu Xiao to open his heart to her, it won't happen in a day, it will take a long time.

The other most important person in Gu Xiao's life is her biological father Gu Shen. Gu Shen has loved this girl very much since he was a child, but the responsibility on his shoulders is too great after all. He spends most of his time practicing. It is extremely rare to be able to spend more time with Gu Xiao, so he really takes care of and accompanies Gu. The only one who laughed the longest was Zheng Lin.

She knew this child too well and knew that Gu Xiao was still worried. She just didn't want her to worry, so she deliberately acted like this, as if she had put everything down, but in fact she was just burying it in her heart.

Zheng Lin pursed her lips slightly and walked forward while chatting with Gu Xiao.

I thought silently in my heart. She just told Gu Xiao that it wouldn't take long for Yama to be eliminated and the world of cultivation to get rid of the turmoil and return to order, but could it really be done in a short time? Zheng Lin also has confidence in Gu Shen. These confidences have been accumulated over the years. She believes that Gu Shen will be able to kill Yama and win, but she is not sure how long it will take.

After all, that is Yama, an extremely powerful mysterious figure, and the legendary strongest person in the tribulation period. The strength of such figures has exceeded imagination, such as the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and Zen Master Benming, etc. It is powerful enough, but in front of Yama, it is like a clay figure.

Over the years, it can be said that the power of Yama has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If Gu Shen had not emerged from nowhere and became the most powerful person in the tribulation period in the world at an amazing speed of advancement that is extremely rare in ancient and modern times, it would have been really disappointing. The underworld would be very It might really subvert the entire world of cultivation!

But even if Gu Shen has become as powerful as Yama, can he really kill Yama?

Or can he kill Yama without any damage?

This is impossible. Even if they can really kill the most powerful person at Yama level, the Tianmen side will definitely suffer heavy losses.

As the strongest person in the tribulation period at the same level as Yama, Gu Shen must be the one who bears the heaviest pressure.

Sometimes, Zheng Lin didn't even want to find Yama and let her days go on like this.

She was afraid. She was afraid that when that day came, although she had killed Yama, what about Gu Shen? To what extent will Gu Shen be traumatized? How much pain will it cause him? Would it even take his life?

In the eyes of the people of the world, it is a blessing to exchange Gu Shen's life for Yama's life. He died in order to save the people of the world. Every household will erect monuments and shrines to Gu Shen. But in Zheng Lin's heart, how could all the people in the world be as important as Gu Shen? Everyone in the world is dead, and even Gu Shen cannot die!

Her idea was selfish, but it was the real thought in her heart, and she could not get rid of her true thoughts.

However, Zheng Lin couldn't help but be deeply touched when she learned about Gu Xiao's thoughts. She couldn't help but ask herself whether her thoughts were too selfish.

Perhaps when he found Yama, Gu Shen had not yet left seclusion, and those immortal weapons fought with Yama first, causing both sides to lose. Even if all the immortal weapons were broken, it would be best if Yama was also dying, and then Gu Shen rushed over and easily killed Yama.

For a moment, she originally came to enlighten Gu Xiao, but she didn't expect that she would be trapped in it. Many, many thoughts were running through her mind, and there were even many thoughts that were not in line with her nature, but she only had one purpose. , for Gu Shen to survive, it is best not to be seriously injured.

In a daze, she held hands with Gu Xiao and walked outside the courtyard where she usually lived. She heard an excited and enthusiastic noise coming from the courtyard.

This high-pitched noise called Zheng Lin's attention back. She looked at Gu Xiao and quickly walked into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Song Yinzhang, Qi Yuhuan, Song Xufan, Zhao Jianjia, Lu Qingning, and Sun Fengqing were all there, and everyone had a smile on their face. (End of chapter)
