If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 799 Searching
"My son is young and has always stayed at home. How did he get involved with evil spirits?" Gou Jiao asked.

Xiao Yu said: "The Gou family has a clean and upright family tradition, and people have no evil spirits. There is no place for demons and ghosts in the Gou family.

Originally, your son had nothing to do with evil spirits before he came of age.

But monsters could have been ordinary livestock. Wasn't his left leg bitten off by a wild dog?
Did your uncle Zhang say that the wild dog had been killed?"

Gou Jiao was surprised and asked, "Is that wild dog a goblin?"

After shouting, he came to his senses and said in confusion: "That's not right. The Taoist priest just said that my family will not provoke demons and monsters."

"Just because it wasn't a goblin in the past doesn't mean it won't be a goblin now or in the future. We'd better find it and then see if we need to kill it." Xiaoyu said.

Gou Jiao was surprised and said, "The Taoist priest is not the type of person who would sweep the floor for fear of harming the lives of ants.

The wild dog even bit off the child's legs and ate them. It had already seen human blood and eaten human flesh.

Regardless of whether it is a spirit or not, it should be killed, right?"

His current spiritual realm is as high as the "Eleventh Heaven", and he only has a few decades of hard work before he can master the "Righteous Qi Jue".

But he did not develop the bodhisattva character of not killing, because "The Art of Righteousness" cultivates the true nature and pursues the principles of the world, not the way of compassion.

Xiao Yu said: "When the wild dog bit off Gou Tianmen's left leg, it was a beast and followed its nature. It may not still be a beast now.

If it can control its animal nature and develop human nature, why should we beat it to death?

When Luo Shiluan regained her humanity from the monster, you never thought of destroying her soul."

Gou Jiao was entangled and said, "How can you compare Miss Luo to a wild dog? After all, beasts are not human beings."

Even though he has reached his current level in practicing "The Art of Righteousness", he still doesn't have the slightest idea of ​​the Buddhist concept of "equality of all beings".

Xiaoyu sighed, "When you have a dog, maybe you will feel differently."

She herself has a dog demon named Xiaoqiang.

When I encountered a wild dog that had become a spirit, I subconsciously thought of Xiaoqiang.

When I think of Xiaoqiang, how can I think of killing him directly?

If it was a stray dog, she would try her best to resolve the cause and effect between it and the Gou family.

But she felt that the possibility was slim.

The reason why she went out to look for wild dogs was because when she faced Gou Tianmen before, she had a sudden impulse and vaguely realized that his disaster was not over yet.

Since meeting a friend in Mount Meng, he has walked thousands of miles to Pingxiang to help the dog meat Taoist priest resolve the disasters in his life.

Soon the afternoon passed, the sun set in the west, and dusk approached.

The two men ran for seventy or eighty miles, but did not find a wild dog with evil spirit.

Xiao Yu stopped, meditated and practiced Qi facing the sun, absorbing a thirty-meter-long purple Qi from the sun, which made Gou Jiao speechless.

"Master, your 'Purple Cloud Qi' is really powerful, it seems like a magic from the gods."

Xiaoyu glanced at him and said, "You regret it, and now you want to learn it?"

Gou Jiao smiled and said, "If I could become an immortal, I would really like to learn."

"You can't become an immortal. This is not the way to become an immortal."

Xiaoyu knew that after several months of getting along, although he had not revealed any of the immortal's power, knowledge and ability, his abilities were somewhat beyond the scope of ordinary extraordinary people.

Gou Jiao is a man of sharp mind and profound wisdom, so he must have made some guesses.

But she was not the powerful hermit he expected.

This guy is very ambitious and wants to achieve the status of a celestial being.

She also wants the celestial magic!

Gou Jiao sighed, "To be honest, after following the Taoist priest for several months and seeing his methods that are like those of an immortal or Buddha, my belief in seeking immortality has been shaken. Perhaps, it would not be bad to be a free and unrestrained person wandering in the world."

Xiao Yu said calmly: “If before you learn the Righteous Qi Sutra, I will be happy to give you two books of immortal martial arts.

Now, you should concentrate on practicing "The Art of Righteousness".

The higher your level of Righteous Qi Jue is, the greater the chance that you will be noticed by the immortals. I can guarantee you this."

After a pause, she continued, "We can agree that I will come to you in twenty years and we can exchange our experiences of the Righteous Qi Sutra.

In the next twenty years, that is, in forty years, when you are about to turn sixty, if you have not been chosen as a disciple by the immortal, I will teach you the immortal method that I am currently practicing. "

"Local Immortal." Gou Jiao's eyes sparkled, "Master, are you a Local Immortal from the game Red Dust?"

Xiao Yu rolled her eyes and said, "Don't daydream, you haven't encountered the immortal fate at all, I am not an immortal.

The practice of scattered immortals is not uncommon in the martial arts world.

Especially the ancient scattered immortal method that is about to be completely eliminated."

Wasn’t the first book of immortal magic she encountered, “The Golden Book of Tai Chi”, given to her by a man from the Western Shu world?

All the immortal warriors in Western Shu can access the "Tai Chi Golden Book", so similar immortal techniques must be more common in Shenzhou.

In fact, the unorthodox methods she has come into contact with, such as Yuwen Bo, Huoyixian, Xueshan Laozu and the like, all relied on the scattered immortal methods obtained in the martial arts world to become immortals by chance.

If she continued to practice the "Golden Book of Tai Chi" until she became an immortal, she would be practicing the same unorthodox methods as them.

"Can immortal magic be eliminated?" Gou Jiao asked in surprise.

Xiaoyu explained how the world and laws are changing, and how immortal arts also need to keep pace with the times.

Gou Jiao frowned and said, "The Sanxian method is so difficult to practice. Will it be too late when I'm sixty?"

"If it was too late at sixty, it's too late now. Practicing immortal arts requires more talent and opportunity. Forty years is not enough to bring about a qualitative change."

As the sun set and the sunset faded, Xiao Yu stood up from the rock, looked around, and asked, "Where is the well that Cui Sheng dug?"

"Are you not looking for the dog demon anymore?" Gou Jiao asked.

Xiao Yu sighed, "I don't know where that beast ran off to. There is no cause and effect relationship between it and me, so I can't figure it out.

It's getting late now, go home first and bring your son out with you tomorrow to look for him together."

Gou Jiao said: "In fact, we have already seen Cui Shengjing, just below the Gecko Hill we passed by an hour ago."

"Just now I was so busy looking for evil spirits that I didn't really observe the geomantic veins. Let's go take another look. Or, you go home first and I'll go and see for myself.

It's getting late now, your family should be getting anxious." Xiaoyu asked.

Gou Jiao thought for a moment and said, "Gecko Hill should still be the property of my Gou family.

I asked the people in the village to help deliver the letter to Uncle Zhang, so that they wouldn't worry that I would run away again."

Gecko Hill is an extremely ordinary sloping field.

It can't even be called a mountain. It's just a large bulge on the west side, which is more than 100 meters higher than the east side, forming a steep slope.

There are no continuous mountains and no rivers around, which basically confirms that this is not a Feng Shui treasure land.

Xiaoyu walked around the periphery of Goujiapo field, observing the energy of the earth's veins.

It was mediocre. Not to mention being chosen as a burial site for ancestors, it was not even qualified to be a “good farmland”.

After asking the farmers in the village, it turned out that the area of ​​this sloping field was not small, about four or five hundred acres in total, but it lacked water. On average, one acre of land could only produce two stone of grain per year (roughly equivalent to 120 kilograms in modern times).

At the beginning, Gou Jiao's ancestors planned to dig a well at the foot of the hillside and also planned to take water to irrigate the farmland.

Now, three wells have been drilled seven or eight miles away from "Cui Sheng Well".

There is no well within three miles of Cuisheng Well. We dug, but there is no water, not even a drop of water. If we dig deeper, the land will collapse.

"Strange, the feng shui here is not good, how could there be immortal relics?" Xiaoyu wondered.

"Mr. Cui walked more than fifty miles that day before he saw the small cave. It is obvious that the immortal palace is not in Bihu Hill." Gou Jiao said.

"I know it's not here, but there must be something special here." Xiaoyu said.

Gou Jiao pointed at the Cui Sheng Well and asked, "Master, could there be something hidden underground? Can you go down?"

Cui Sheng dug a well twice. The first well was more than ten feet deep and collapsed, but he survived.

The second time it collapsed, also more than ten feet deep, and his body was taken out, leaving a deep pit in its place, which is now filled with summer rain water.

Xiao Yu looked up at the sky and said, "The immortals' paradise can be hidden in the mountains, not underground."

"But Cui Sheng did enter the cave through the underground tunnel." Gou Jiao said.

"You go back to the county first. I'll use the earth escape talisman to take a walk underground." Xiaoyu said.

I've been trying to make friends for so long, I don't want to give up halfway.

He said, "Can I use the Earth Escape Talisman? If I can, I'll go with you. If not, I'll wait by the side.

Cui Sheng and Cui Shengjing were my obsessions since my youth, and at least this story has a conclusion. "

Xiaoyu took out two pieces of yellow paper from her sleeve, one for herself and the other one to Gou Jiao. She also taught him the spell to activate the talisman.

"How long can the Earth Escape Talisman last? Is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Gou Jiao was quite eager to try.

"A talisman can travel a hundred to eighty miles. The talisman paper can still be used before the journey is completed. After you use the spell to activate it, you will feel it in your heart. When your heart starts pounding, get out of the ground quickly, and don't suffocate to death underground." Xiao Yu said.

The two of them chanted the incantation together, and the yellow talisman turned into a ball of yellow light, enveloping the two of them and sinking into the ground.

"Baolu Xianzhang" is a top-level antique talisman magic.

It is outdated, but it is very powerful. The difficulty of practicing it is relatively simple at first, but it is very difficult to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal.

Even Sister Cui'er, who had mediocre talents, took several years to learn several kinds of talismans. Xiaoyu would definitely not be worse than Sister Cui'er.

However, she is only at the entry level and has not spent time or energy on in-depth research. She is still in the stage of copying others. She is good enough to disguise herself as a "radish Taoist priest" but not good enough for "Yu Fengxian" or "Fei Yu Fairy".

Her own earth escape technique was actually very powerful, but the earth escape talismans she drew were very dull and slow.

He is slow and not flexible enough, and it is difficult for him to turn around. His escape speed is about the same as that of a warrior running using light skills.

Back then, the Taoist boy Qingsong gave Xiaoyu a talisman for earth escape to save his life from the Eight Immortals of the West.

Not only can it be automatically triggered when in danger, but it can also escape five miles away in an instant.

The one that Qingsong Taoist Boy holds is a "magic talisman".

The "Cinnabar Yellow Paper Talisman" that Xiaoyu drew at this time was still the basic practice for mortal Taoists.

Fortunately, the "Cui Sheng Well" is only a dozen feet deep, so there is no need to escape too fast.

The two searched underground and really found something.

Found it by chance.

He dug out a stone half a man's height from the ground and said, "Master, look at this!"

"What is this?" Xiaoyu had also seen this stone when he was burrowing underground before. It was twenty-five feet below the ground.

But she had been using the Qi-Observing Technique and hadn't noticed anything unusual.

Moreover, Cui Shengjing was originally located at the foot of a hill, and there were many stones buried underground.

"This is a stone tablet!" Gou Jiao grunted as he carried the stone to the edge of the pond, washed the dirt off the surface, and traced the patterns on it with his fingers.

Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed, "What country's language is this?"

No wonder she didn't notice anything unusual before. She didn't recognize the words on it at all. It was also because the stone tablet was too broken. The years had left many mottled marks on it and also erased the previous words.

If you are not familiar with this kind of text and you look hard at it, you won't be able to find it at all.

Gou Jiao said: "It should be the 'Gao Zhuan' of the ancient Zhao land."

Xiaoyu became even more embarrassed.

She can write the character "Qin" from the Qin Dynasty in 37 different ways, but has never heard of "Gao Zhuan".

——Thanks to the Emperor Ren Huang for sweeping across the Central Plains and unifying the Chinese language!
Xiaoyu once again intuitively felt the value of the achievement of "unified writing" and "unified weights and measures".

To be honest, when she was a modern person in her previous life, she never thought that Zhengge's unification of characters and wheel tracks had any special significance.

If you haven't experienced it yourself, you can't feel it at all.

"What's written on it?" Xiaoyu asked.

"It should be the 'Lady's Temple'. The stone tablet is too badly damaged to know which lady it is." Gou Jiao said.

"Lady's Temple" Xiao Yu calculated quickly with his hands in his sleeves and had a vague feeling.

She looked towards the pond and asked, "What era was Gaozhuan written in?"

Gou Jiao thought for a moment and said, "It was at least 500,000 years ago that the Gao family in ancient Zhao created this writing."

"It's only been 300,000 years since the Conferred Gods." Xiao Yu was speechless.

Gou Jiao said seriously: "Master, have you forgotten that one day in heaven is equal to one year in the human world?

"The human world lasts 500,000 years, while the paradise on earth lasts only a thousand years. To an immortal, what is a thousand years?"

"How do you know that this stone tablet belongs to the owner of Xiaoyoudongtian? By the way, how did you notice this stone tablet at that time?" Xiaoyu asked.

Gou Jiao shook his head and said, “I don’t know who this stone tablet belongs to, but I just assume that it belongs to a fairy lady with a small cave, and 500,000 years is nothing.

Alas, the speed of earth escape is too fast, I can’t control it.

At that time, I was banging my head on the ground and hit several rocks. The pain was so severe that my soul almost left my body.

I used the "Zhengqitang" to calm my spirit and soul, and my brain became sharp and my eyes became clear.

After bumping into it, I immediately noticed the incomplete text on the stone tablet."

The same earth escape talisman, but Xiaoyu, who is proficient in earth escape, feels that it is as slow as an old man taking a walk.

The first time I escaped from the earth, it was like an ordinary person driving a F1 car and finding it difficult to control the steering wheel.

"Is there any lady who is famous throughout the ages near Pingxiang?" Xiaoyu asked.
