Chapter 1 Leaving
Silent night.

The thick darkness poured into the well-proportioned courtyard. The sky seemed to be splashed with a layer of ink, and there were still a few lights deep in the courtyard.

Boom! ! !
Above the clouds, a thick thunder suddenly exploded, like a spreading spider web. The sky and the earth turned white for a moment, illuminating the young face sitting in front of the window.

She is a girl in her teens, with a delicate appearance, slightly thick eyebrows, and a pair of clear eyes staring into the night.

There was a drizzle outside the window. The girl got up and closed the window. After a while, it turned into a heavy rain, beating the tiles on the roof.

After closing the window, she returned to the small bed, lay on her side, and fell asleep with the quilt between her legs, as if this sleeping position could make her a little fuller.

Her name is Gu Nian.

The descendant of the Gu family in Qinghe County, in the words of the people of Qinghe County, has the status of a young lady.

Her father, Gu Qingfeng, is the actual leader of the Gu family, and her mother was born as a maid, not the official wife. According to the parlance of this world, she is called a concubine.

Gu Nian was an ordinary person in the real world. After graduation, he joined a state-owned enterprise and received a fairly generous salary. Unfortunately, things didn't work out as he wished. He was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer just after getting engaged.

She did not choose chemotherapy. There was no point in it except spending some money and suffering.

When I closed my eyes, I originally wanted to see if there really was a bull-headed horse-face in the underworld, but when I opened my eyes, I found that I had become a baby who couldn't speak.

At first she thought this was an ancient world, but she felt something was wrong. Although the kingdoms here were divided into separate kingdoms, there were no familiar ministers and generals, let alone catchy poems and songs.

Later, I learned from scattered conversations with others that there was someone who could break through mountains and slay monsters hundreds of miles away with a sword. The world called him an immortal.

It is a rather fantasy world of cultivating immortals.

When she grew up and could read and write, she gradually understood the world from some ancient books.

According to "Da Lu's Travels in Four Directions", an immortal came into the world ten thousand years ago and divided the four directions, causing chaos in the world and depriving the people of their lives.

A powerful person wields a sword to rule the country, establishes the "Tao Court", compiles the "Dao Law" to control the monks, and corrects the Tao calendar.

In a blink of an eye, 30,000 years have passed since then. The early Taoist court has long since disappeared, and some people speculate that the Taoist court no longer exists. Regardless of whether it is hidden in the world or destroyed, the Taoist sect of the Immortal family has always followed the "Law of Tao".

There is a saying in Taoism: "Immortals do not enter the world."

This is where the separation between immortals and mortals comes from.

The years have passed, the clouds have turned gray, and the world has been at peace for more than 30,000 years. The immortals gradually faded away from the perspective of mortals, and the pieces of writing they left behind were only regarded as folk tales by future generations and chatted after meals.

There is no such thing as immortality, it’s just the people in power looking for a legitimate reason for troubled times.

There is no immortality, but the theory of martial arts is derived.

Those who are new to martial arts must start with skin tempering. The surface of the skin is tempered to be as hard as iron and cannot be scratched by ordinary weapons. Only then can they enter the first level of martial arts. This is skin tempering.

After the skin refining, the bones are forged, and the muscles and bones are tempered to fill the body with qi and blood. The strength can break stones, which means you have entered the second level of martial arts.

As for the pinnacle of martial arts, it is the state of perfect martial arts, using the body as a magical weapon, invulnerable to all means, and becoming a master of martial arts.

Gu Qingfeng was originally from the Jianghu sect, and relied on his strength to reach the seventh rank and govern a county. He worked hard for most of his life, and only in his old age did he have a son and a daughter, Gu Nian and Gu Wu.

Since Gu Nian was born a girl, and her biological mother passed away due to a sudden illness after giving birth to her, she had been weak since she was a child and was not the material for martial arts training, so she would not be taught martial arts on weekdays.

Not practicing martial arts gives her more time to do other things.

In addition to being literate and reading in the boudoir, she also knew a little bit about music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In addition, she didn't like to talk much and didn't fight or fight. Everyone thought that she was a gentle and quiet good child.

The Gu family is powerful and has a high status in Qinghe County. There is actually nothing wrong with living in such a family. Sometimes I even feel lucky that at least I will have enough food and clothing for my whole life. Gu Nian sometimes thinks like this.

The night got deeper and deeper, and the heavy rain stopped only when it became ugly. The sound of the night watch gradually sounded in the deep courtyard.

After more than ten years in this world, Gu Nian suffered from insomnia for a long time. She lay on the bed and stared at the dark wall in a daze.

"I thought this would be it for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect to be able to go out for a walk..."

Gu Nian sighed quietly.

Just yesterday, as soon as Gu Qingfeng came back from outside, he hurriedly pulled Gu Wu to the study and told him a piece of news:
Taiyuemen recruits new disciples and prepares for him to go.

Taiyue Sect is a Jianghu sect in Nanzhou and is quite powerful.

Gu Qingfeng studied under the Taiyue Sect and also learned all his martial arts from the Taiyue Sect, so Gu Qingfeng originally planned to let his eldest son Gu Wu go.

But Gu Wu is the eldest son of the Gu family and will inherit the Gu family's legacy in the future. Gu Wu's biological mother, Gu Li, naturally strongly opposes this.

In addition, when Gu Qingfeng started from scratch when he was young, he couldn't do without the support of Gu Li's natal family, and Gu Wu was used to opening his mouth for food and clothing. He must not be willing to part with this kind of life. When he heard that he would go to the Jianghu sect to endure hardship, he was naturally unwilling to do so. .

Due to the quarrel between mother and son, coupled with the pressure from the Li family, the spot to go to Taiyue Gate fell to Gu Nian.

Unlike her brother Gu Wu, she did not object to going to Taiyuemen.

As for why...

Gu Qingfeng was addicted to alcohol and had a violent and irritable personality. His servants were often beaten to death. Gu Nian took this as a warning and acted cautiously in the Gu Mansion for fear of causing trouble.

In the courtyard of Nuo University, there seems to be family harmony, but in fact it is the most ruthless.

Surviving in troubled times is not easy, and being born into such a family, it is better to be able to enter the Taiyue Sect and settle down than not being able to decide one's own destiny here.

"Just go, it's better than living here doing nothing all your life, and finally becoming an old woman who never leaves home to take care of her husband and raise her children."

Before this, she had never left Qinghe County, and her understanding of the world was limited to studying in books.

It's not that she doesn't want to step out of Qinghe County and achieve great things, it's just that she doesn't have the temperament.

She knew very well that she was just a concubine of the Gu family in Qinghe County, an ordinary person among all living beings. She didn't know what kind of difficulties she would face when she left Qinghe County, whether it was bandits, bandits, or wild beasts.

Unknown things can arouse people's desire to explore, but they are also the most terrifying.

In her previous life, Diligent died just at the beginning of her life. In this life, in addition to wanting to live well, she also wanted to live for herself and live a different life.

This may be one of the reasons why she is willing to go to Taiyue Gate.

The mountains on the horizon are still covered in night, with only a little orange-gold glow on the mountains.

"Miss, the people from Taiyue Sect have arrived and are waiting at the door."

"it is good!"

Gu Nian woke up very early. As soon as she finished washing, the housekeeper came to the door and called her. The baggage was packed last night and placed on the clothes rail beside the bed. I picked up the baggage and followed the housekeeper.

The housekeeper was about forty years old, with gray hair on his temples. He was wearing a green undershirt and had a thin figure. Only his back was slightly bulging, as if he had been weathered.

They arrived at the door of the mansion in silence, where a carriage stopped.
