Please bring your best friends to practice immortality

Chapter 8 The old Taoist priest’s confession
Gu Shiyi extended his second finger,

"Don't be afraid, there is a second way... that is to find a corpse and use it to resurrect the soul. However, this corpse is difficult to find. You need to find a new death. The death date is within the first seven days, and there is a birth date and physique that matches yours. If you die, You must not be possessed by resentment, and your body will probably be very weak in the first few years, but this is a trivial matter. As long as you are willing to practice the Taoist Heart and Body Techniques, you will slowly get better..."

The clay figurine followed her example and sat cross-legged on the table. While bathing in the moonlight, he put his chin up and thought.

"The first path sounds very dangerous. I'm not afraid of suffering. In the end, my temperament changed drastically, causing harm to you and unrelated others... If you can take the second path, it would be the best..."

She also heard Gu Shiyi tell stories about their masters and apprentices slaying demons everywhere. In fact, many demons are not born bad. Most of them were invaded by inner demons while practicing, or were tempted by people in the demonic path. In order to Those who are eager for quick success and quick gains to improve their realm have gone into evil ways.

Gu Shi nodded and responded,

"That's what I thought too. When Master comes back, I will ask him to lead us out of the mountain to find a body suitable for you. Don't worry... Although there are not as many people in this world as there are in yours, one of them can be as different as you." It is possible to find corpses with matching horoscopes, but it will only take a little more time..."

After thinking for a while he said,
"It really doesn't work. If you turn to the ghost path again, the master is also from a dao sect. I think there is a way to alleviate your pain..."

Gu Shiyi said again,

"Now you want to find a way to consolidate your soul. I will first teach you a method of breathing out. You first learn to breathe out the power of the twelfth yin to consolidate your soul. Otherwise... in your current situation, you will be exposed to the sun. In less than 10 minutes, you will be out of your mind and you will never have a chance to be reincarnated!"

The clay figurine nodded, and sat cross-legged like Gu Shiyi, then raised his head and faced the moon, chanting in his heart and speaking out. The two best friends stayed in the yard like this until midnight. Later in the night, Gu Shiyi went to the palace to sleep, but Li Yaner She stood in front of the palace gate, staring at the moon in a daze. The moonlight projected in shone on her body. She looked down at her hands, feet and body made of black mud, and let out a long sigh...

She had been living the past two days as if she was in a dream!
It is said that life has its ups and downs, but come to think of it, no one has turned around like you, right?
Living in such a family in the first half of my life was already miserable, but I didn't expect that the second half of my life would be even more bizarre. First, I was a resentful ghost trapped in a fish pond for three years, and then I actually traveled to this world and became a A ball of mud without even a body, she is now so fragile that she will break into pieces if someone pinches her, and she is in danger of losing her soul at any time.
"Ugh……"

Li Yan'er sighed,

"We're here, what else can we do? Of course we just have to try our best to survive!"

She had lived in that world for less than 30 years. She had graduated from college and her career had just started to improve. If she hadn't been deceived back home by her family, several eldest sisters in the company would have introduced her to boyfriends. She would have been able to escape the misery behind. It's fate. If you want to blame it, you have to blame yourself for being too soft-hearted!
She was really unwilling to die in such a painful way. Now that Eleven had secured this small chance of life for her, there was no way she could live up to the sacrifice of her good sisters!
She let out a long breath, walked two steps outside, sat down with her legs crossed, recalled the methods of the Eleventh Cult, and began to recite them seriously...

The old Taoist priest came back at noon the next day. When he came back, he carried two kilograms of beef and two bottles of wine.

"Damn girl, hurry up and put the table on the table. Master Tao, I want to drink wine and eat meat!"

Gu Shiyi was very happy when he saw that the old Taoist priest had returned to his playful and rogue look.
"It seems that Widow Zhang has a miraculous effect in curing depression. She is indeed a master... rejuvenating!"

Of course...it can't be cured by just using your hands!
Seeing that the old Taoist priest was happy, Gu Shiyi was naturally happy too. He took out the bowls and chopsticks, and the master and the disciple sat down to eat wine. They ate until it got dark, and the old Taoist priest got drunk again. Gu Shiyi helped him in. In the palace, after the master fell asleep, Gu Shi released the clay figurine.
"Yan'er, you should follow the method I taught you yesterday. This is a cumulative result over a long period of time. You can't slack off for a day..."

The clay figurine nodded and ran to the palace door. Gu Shiyi returned to his bed and meditated for 36 weeks before falling asleep!

After a night of silence, when he got up the next day, the old Taoist priest called Gu Shiyi and Li Yaner in front of him with a serious face.
"Disciple! I have something important to say to you today..."

Gu Shiyi thought, he sat upright, raised his chest and answered,
"Master, my apprentice got into trouble. If you want to beat or punish him, just come!"

The old Taoist priest shook his head,
"This is my destiny. Your uncle had warned me a long time ago. It's because I have been obsessed with greed for so many years and I haven't seen it through..."

After saying that, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then he raised his spirits and said,

"You...go to the bottom of the confessional and take out the things from the mud jar..."

Gu Shiyi was stunned.
"Master, are we going out of the mountain?"

The old Taoist priest urged,

"Go!"

Gu Shiyi followed the instructions and got under the confession table and took out a big bundle. This was all the belongings of the master and the disciple. The old Taoist took it and opened the knot on it and revealed what was inside. What is inside? They all had it, including an old Taoist priest's robe, a mahogany sword and other ghost-hunting equipment, and a small box. When he opened it, there were several banknotes and pieces of broken silver. Gu Shiyi was a little surprised when he saw it.

"Master, how come there is only so much left?"

The old Taoist priest knows how to save money. He often said that the silver in this box belongs to his coffin and she is not allowed to touch it. What's going on now?

The silver is less than half!

The old Taoist priest said,

"Yesterday I sent some to Widow Zhang. She has been with me for a few years. She has many children and grandchildren in her family. The whole family needs food and supplies. Her daughters-in-law are very thoughtful. She has some yellow and white things. Stay close to me so that you won’t have no one to show your respect to your bedside when you get old!”

Money is something external to the body. Gu Shiyi has a free and easy temperament. Although he wanders around with the old Taoist priest, he really doesn't attach much importance to money. He nodded when he heard this.

"That's right. I have been with you for so long and I am sincere to you. If I were the master, I would have gone down the mountain to marry you, and I wouldn't have been chased up the mountain and beaten!"

At that time, the old Taoist priest will be the stepfather of those strong sons. Let's see if they dare to beat people!
The old Taoist priest rolled his eyes at her.
"If I weren't for the precious mirror..."

Halfway through the words, it felt like I had been stabbed in a painful spot. I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart. I covered my chest and coughed a few times. Then I changed the topic and said,

"Put away everything here. If you can use these magic weapons, use them. If you can't, keep them for thoughts. Hide the money. In the future, when you walk in the world, without these things, you can only drink the northwest wind!"

Fortunately, Eleven's ghost-catching skills are better than his own, so he won't have to worry about having food to eat in the future!

Gu Shiyi didn't hear anything strange, he laughed and said,

"Master, don't you? Go down and catch a few little devils, and you'll have everything!"

The old Taoist priest said,

"You don't have to coax me. Now your Taoism is more refined than mine. You earned most of the money in this box. Just take it!" Li Yan'er, who was sitting cross-legged, could tell something was wrong. , glanced at Gu Shiyi, but it was a pity that the good sister was so careless and had a silly smile on her face that she didn't even notice it. The old Taoist priest squinted his old eyes and saw it. He sighed secretly in his heart, and then said to his apprentice,

"Do you still remember where your hometown is?"

Gu Shiyi was precociously intelligent. Although he left home at the age of five, he could still remember things at home. He thought about it and said,

"Remember Chenzhou in the north of Daxizhou..."

"Ok!"

The old Taoist priest nodded,
"You have been away from home for so many years, come back and take a look when you have time!"

Gu Shiyi curled his lips and suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Old Taoist priest, what do you mean, why do you want me to go back?"

The old Taoist priest said,

"Don't you no longer need to hide here and there? You are originally the direct daughter of a noble family. You have followed me for so many years living in the open air and have suffered a lot. You should go back and take a look!"

Gu Shiyi bit her lip. If she said she didn't want to go back and take a look, it would be a lie. But if she really wanted to go back and be the eldest lady again, she knew that she probably wouldn't be able to go back!
After thinking about it, I still said,

"Okay, let's go back and have a look. If they still recognize me, I will go back and ask them to build a yard for Master. We should stop walking around outside. From now on, I will take care of Master!"

She said that, but she also knew that when she was at home, there were clan elders who suspected that her blood was impure because of her eloped mother, and had proposed expelling her from the family. Now she has been away for more than 20 years before returning. , I’m afraid no one will admit it!

You must know that the eldest daughter of this aristocratic family has the right to inherit and can recruit a son-in-law. If the child is born to a legitimate eldest son, he can also inherit the family business. Isn't she going to fight for power this time? ?
Such an aristocratic family was already fighting to the death for power, so why would they let an unpopular daughter go back and get a share of the pie?
The old Taoist priest naturally knew this, but he didn't expose it and said with a smile,
"That's great!"

The old Taoist priest continued,
"Also...it's that mysterious mirror..."

This was serious business. Gu Shiyi's face became more and more serious. She straightened her back and moved her buttocks.

"Master, you said..."

The old Taoist priest thought for a moment and said,
"You have used this precious mirror once, and it revealed the secret I was hiding. I'm afraid we won't be able to stay here anymore. You can pack up and leave in three days..."

After saying that, he warned me again,

"Remember to leave after three days. If you walk too slowly and someone follows the trail, your life will be in danger!"

It was a great blessing that such a treasure fell into the hands of their master and disciple. If they were not good enough and had a treasure in their possession, they would be really impatient if they didn't know how to hide it!
Gu Shi nodded and said again,

"This treasure is indeed not something that our master and disciple can possess. Your meager magic power cannot protect it. You first go to Huangjing, find Zhang Zhenyue, and use this thing to ask for Zhang Zhenyue's protection for you, and then return to Chenzhou. , although the sky is high and the emperor is far away, Zhang Zhenyue's name may not protect you, but it can always make the Gu family look up to you and not dare to bully you too much. After that, you can find a way to find a satisfactory husband for yourself. Marry yourself..."

What he said was "you", but he didn't mention "us". Gu Shiyi didn't hear it, but Li Yan'er heard it clearly. She looked at the old Taoist priest deeply, and the old Taoist priest felt her gaze. , turned to smile at her, and then said to Gu Shi,
"This thing is a relic left by the ancient immortals. My master was a scholar of heaven and man at that time, and he has not studied one of the ten ways to use it. It is a treasure and a disaster. If someone without the ability gets it, it will be a big disaster. , you can’t bear it!”

Gu Shiyi shook his head repeatedly.

"Master, don't worry! Apprentice, I have never had high hopes for this thing. As long as the master is willing to give it up, I will naturally be willing to give it up!"

To her, this thing was just an object that she had collected for many years. In the past 20 years, she had meditated every night for it, and also hid here and there for it. If it weren't for the fact that she and Yan'er got to know each other, it would have been easy to use. , she has long been impatient to serve!

"Ok!"

The old Taoist priest smiled, with a kind smile on his face. He raised his hand and touched Gu Shiyi's head.
"Good boy, I have suffered so much for you for so many years!"

Gu Shiyi smiled naively,

"Master, it's not hard for me as a disciple!"

Apart from the fact that the old Taoist priest was a little sloppy, smelled a little too much, snored a little loudly when sleeping, was a little lecherous, and had no moral bottom line, he was still very kind to her. He didn't hit or scold her, and he had delicious food. Eat together, drink together if you have wine, and remember to take yourself with you when you run away...

This kind of life is actually quite free!

When the old Taoist priest saw his apprentice smiling stupidly, he slapped her on the forehead.
"Don't be stupid. You have an impulsive and irritable temper, and you lack the attentiveness of your daughter's family. After you get down from the mountain, you should be more careful!"

Gu Shiyi heard something was wrong this time, straightened his body, stared and asked,

"Old Taoist, what's going on with you today? Why do you act like you're explaining your funeral arrangements?"

The old Taoist priest was furious and kicked her.

"I won't die for a while, get out! I want to sleep for a while!"

Gu Shiyi was knocked down by his kick and rolled out a foot, then came back with a smile and picked up the clay figurine.
"Yan'er, let's go. I'll take you to the mountains... to meet that old tree spirit!"

The old Taoist priest was lying on the bed, facing the wall, with one hand under his head. Hearing the words, he hummed and said,

"Don't mess with the spirits in the mountains, that old tree spirit is not a good thing!"

Gu Shiyi said with a smile,

"You don't need to keep telling me, I know!"

Things that can live for thousands or eight hundred years in the mountains have become spirits, so naturally they are not easy to deal with. They are just like people, born with their own temperament. The old tree spirit is a bit evil and has a very domineering temperament. Now on the top of the mountain where it is located, there are no flowers, grass or trees within a radius of ten feet. When it grows stronger, the vegetation on the entire mountain will be sucked dry by it, and nothing will survive!
