The female nun just wants to live forever

Chapter 7 Senior Brother Chen

"Where did you get it?"

A powerful aura suddenly burst out from his body, and he snatched the jade pendant from Gu Nian's hand and stared at the girl with narrowed eyes.

"Go back to Mr. Zhao, this is what my master gave me before he died. We were ambushed when we were passing through the bamboo forest outside the mountain..." Gu Nian didn't dare to hide it and spoke hurriedly.

After listening, the old man fell into silence.

For a long time, he suddenly murmured to himself, as if he hated iron and steel and said: "Wang Zhixian, Wang Zhixian, how could you waste your life like this? Is it worth it?"

Gu Nian watched silently without saying anything. Perhaps she was too emotional. This emotion reminded her of her past life.

I wonder if her parents and brother are well after hearing the news of her death. Maybe they will forget her soon. There should be a lot of weeds on her tombstone. Just like now, her memory of her previous life has long been blurred, and she has almost forgotten even the faces of her parents.

Sure enough, time is the best medicine, it can wash away all your emotions.

"That's all, you go down first." His eyes were gray and his appearance was a bit older.

Gu Nian knew that the other party needed time to relax, so he left the main hall cautiously without saying much. There are a lot of things to do later, so there is no need to delay.

The wooden houses in the valley are not luxurious, they can even be said to be simple. The dustpan in the yard is filled with various medicinal materials, and the whole valley is full of medicinal smell.

Duoshui had already chosen a house and left the one at the end for Gu Nian. Maybe she had nothing to do, so she also cleaned her room.

As soon as he saw Gu Nian, he came up to him and said worriedly: "How are you doing? Mr. Zhao didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

"Not really."

Only then did he feel relieved: "You're right, you scared me to death just now. Mr. Zhao's look in his eyes made me so scared that I couldn't even use my legs. Please be more careful next time."

The other party felt something was wrong again and quickly changed his words: "By the way, my name is Duoshui. I am from Xujia Village. I am twelve years old this year. What about you?"

"My name is Gu Nian, I have just turned ten and I am from Qinghe County."

Duo Shui said happily: "How many years older am I than you, let me call you Junior Sister Gu from now on. Then we are the same sect. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask me and I will ask my brother."

"Your brother?" Gu Nian was a little surprised.

Speaking of his brother, Duoshui was a little excited: "My brother's name is Duoshan. He is a few months older than me. He has dual spiritual root qualifications. He will enter the inner gate in the future." He lowered his voice and said: "Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell you. The old man who tested his qualifications today was the original head of our village, and it was he who sent my brothers to come to Taiyuemen."

Is there still this relationship?

She didn't expect it, but the many mountains did have some impressions. No wonder the two looked similar.

Duo Shui held up his chin with a broom and said feebly: "This handyman is a disciple at best, a slave at worst. Fortunately, Mr. Xiao still recognizes me and let me come to Huichun Valley."

"What's the difference?"

"Of course there is!"

A lot of water brought him back energy: "I heard Mr. Xiao say that this Spring Valley had no disciples in the past, but it was highly regarded by the sect."

"These days, Taiyue Sect is recruiting disciples, and Huichun Valley has also made an exception to ask for two disciples to do chores. Unlike other handyman disciples, Huichun Valley has less chores and has more time to practice."

This is the truth, Gu Nian nodded secretly.

It was just after noon, and the heat could already be clearly felt.

The two quickly arranged things. Gu Nian was responsible for fetching water and sweeping the floor, leaving the laundry and cooking to Duo Shui.

He didn't refuse even a lot of water. When he was at home, his eldest brother and his father went hunting in the mountains. He and his mother were the only ones left at home, and they usually helped with these tasks.

His cooking skills are pretty good, not as good as the Gu family's cook, but much better than the food at the inn.

After dinner, Mr. Zhao called the two of them to the main hall and gave each of them a copy of "Qi Entrainment Technique".

"This art of entraining qi is commonly learned by disciples of Taiyue Clan. Since you are the servants of Huichun Valley, you naturally have to learn it. The so-called master leads you into the sect, and your practice depends on the individual. I will not teach you anything. It depends on your personal understanding." The two of you are qualified with four spiritual roots, which is very different from those with single or double spiritual roots. Introducing Qi into the body is even more difficult than ascending to the sky."

"Normally, I won't ask about your practice status, but if you haven't introduced Qi into your body after six months, the Valley of Rejuvenation will not want you again."

The two nodded in response, feeling inexplicably nervous.

Gu Nian couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhao, why is it more difficult for the four spiritual root qualifications to draw Qi into the body than the single and double spiritual root qualifications?"

"There are five elements in heaven and earth, and so do spiritual roots. The so-called spiritual roots can be compared to water tanks. A single spiritual root is a water tank, you only need to fill it up, while a double spiritual root is two water tanks. , the spiritual energy consumed is naturally twice as much. As for the next three or four spiritual roots, the spiritual energy consumed is doubled. That’s why we talk about qualifications.”

Seeing that the two fell into silence, Mr. Zhao continued: "But practice does not only depend on qualifications, but also on understanding. If you have qualifications but no understanding, it is delusional to make progress."

The two people quickly raised their hands and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for clearing up the confusion."

"Well, remember to practice diligently after you go back, but there is one thing. You are never allowed to leave the Valley of Rejuvenation without my permission, otherwise..." Mr. Zhao's tone became cold.

"Disciple, please remember this!"

Mr. Zhao nodded and took out another white jade token and handed it to Gu Nian, who quickly took it.

Mr. Zhao continued: "The reason why I don't let you wander around at will is because I have set up a 'Yin Yang Soul Array' outside the Valley of Rejuvenation. If you step on it accidentally, inner demons will breed and you will lose your way. In worst cases, you will kill yourself."

"This token can dispel most of the confusing formations, and only by holding this token can you safely pass through the large formation outside. But you are not allowed to leave at will if you hold the token. It is just to allow you to contact the people of the sect. ."

When the two of them heard this, they couldn't help but feel horrified, and they were even more afraid of the old man in front of them.

They also didn't expect that such a murderous formation would be deployed in the seemingly ordinary valley.

After leaving the main hall, Gu Nian said goodbye to Duo Shui and returned to their respective houses.

Just when Gu Nian was impatiently preparing to read the book "Qi Entrainment Technique", the sound of lots of water suddenly came from outside the house.

"Junior sister Gu, someone from the sect is here. They seem to be bringing us disciples' clothes. Go and get them quickly."

Gu Nian picked up the token and pushed the door open, followed by Duo Shui. However, as soon as he left the yard, he stood there and watched the girl coming out of the valley from a distance.

Holding the token in hand, she walked through the medicine garden with some anxiety. She didn't relax until she came to the mouth of the valley.

The person who came was a fat young man, carrying two gray cloth bags. Looking at the other person's face, she always felt familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.

"I have met this senior brother."

"Junior sister, it's you!"

The fat man was surprised when he saw Gu Nian and said, "Yesterday you came to Taiyue Gate alone. You were in a coma for a whole night. I didn't expect to see you in the Valley of Rejuvenation today."

Only then did she remember that this person was the disciple guarding the mountain who rescued her yesterday.

"By the way, these are your disciple costumes. There are two sets in total. There is also a copy of the "Rules of Entry" in it. Remember to read it."

Gu Nian took the two bags from the other party's hand, cupped his hands and said, "Gu Nian has met Senior Brother. Thank you Senior Brother for the rescue yesterday."

"Just call me Senior Brother Chen. Junior sister, you are so lucky. I have been in the sect for many years and have never heard of the Valley of Rejuvenation recruiting people. I didn't expect that you would enter the Valley of Rejuvenation as soon as you came." Senior Brother Chen's eyes were somewhat envious. .

In the early years, Hui Chun Valley did not accept disciples, but this year for some unknown reason, Elder Zhao of Hui Chun Valley wanted disciples again.

After hearing the news, many sect disciples were somewhat moved and wanted to return to Spring Valley, but unfortunately they all returned in vain.

After all, the Valley of Rejuvenation is a beautiful job.

All elixirs for the entire Taiyue Sect are supplied by Huichun Valley. Mr. Zhao from Huichun Valley is therefore highly respected in the sect. Even the head of the sect must give him three points of courtesy. Moreover, the income here is higher than other places. More than once or twice.

After the two said goodbye, they left.
