Chapter 182: Letting go of the past
Looking around, the place where Gu Yao lives is full of spiritual energy.
It mainly has water attributes, and its spiritual level is as high as four levels. Not to mention just building a foundation, even Jin Dan can live there.
According to what Gu Yao said, this place was Gu Qingshui's former residence. Later, Gu Qingshui realized the Nascent Soul and gave it to his direct descendant Gu Yao, who was asked to pass on the message.
Just like in the past, Jiang Xiaobai worked as a Taoist boy in front of Jiang Xingchi's door.
The spiritual energy here is full, like a waterfall from top to bottom, even and gentle, so there is no need to use the spirit gathering array.
But since Gu Yao wants to try, Lin Bai doesn't have to hide his clumsiness.
Now that Aunt Gu is protecting her, Lin Bai knows that if he is stronger, he will receive more attention. After mastering the formation, you can still drink Aunt Gu's soup in the future.
Aunt Gu has a lot of water and is not like a fox, so she can drink more.
Sitting cross-legged by the small pool, without looking at Gu Yao, Lin Bai only reached out with his hand, then pointed out the array flags and returned them everywhere.
It's not difficult to set up the formation here. There is neither turbulent flow of spiritual energy nor interference from external objects.
Holding the array plate in hand, spiritual power penetrates deep into it. The array of flags moves in the wind, each of which is related and complements each other.
The spiritual energy here is pouring down from the top. When the formation is activated, it will be supported by the formation and slowly gather on the pool.
After half an hour, most of the spiritual energy here returned to the pool. It seems like it should be like this, not like someone is pulling it, and it has a natural and harmonious state.
Gu Yao stared blankly for a moment, then stood up to check the position of the formation flags and carefully study the method of setting up the formation.
After reading it carefully, he said nothing and just stared at Lin Bai curiously.
The Spirit Gathering Formation is simple and can be considered the easiest for beginners to learn, but it is still an entry-level knowledge. Although the spiritual energy here is soothing and it is not difficult to set up a formation, being able to set up such a formation is truly a gift.
In the past, Gu Yao could not say that she understood Lin Bai. Just because of the life-saving grace on Mianlong Mountain, I asked Zhu Jianyang a little bit, and found out that this man values friendship, is good at alchemy, and is bad at fighting.
After getting in touch with him for a long time, I felt that this person was someone I could befriend, and that I could indeed become a friend.
After also experiencing the incident at Cangyun Sect, Gu Yao was very grateful for Lin Bai's generosity in volunteering for justice. Although I don’t know the details, I know that his contribution is very great, otherwise the ancestor would not name himself, and specifically deal with this person’s affairs and help him practice.
Gu Yao is not stupid, and she can see that the ancestor attaches great importance to this person.
"It turns out that the ancestor took a fancy to his talent in formations. It seems that he may be of great use in the future."
"This person obviously only knows how to use the Feiyun Flag Formation. He only barely understands it, but he doesn't know the principles of the formation and the beauty of the formation. In less than half a month, he can skillfully use the Spirit Gathering Formation! I think back then, I was practicing and learning at the same time. It took me a year to become familiar with it!”
"This person is good at alchemy and knows how to make talismans. Now he is also talented in formations. From Feixue's appearance, this guy also has talent in seducing women. I just need him not to be lustful towards Yang Bing. I have no evil thoughts, I just like to drink and talk about Taoism.”
"However, everything is under the control of the ancestor!"
"My ancestor is really wise when looking for talents. Others secretly say that my ancestor is careless, does not plan things out, and does not use his brain. In fact, my ancestor is not careless at all. He is clearly planning ahead and planning for the long term!"
Gu Yao's mind was spinning for a long time before she nodded lightly to Lin Bai.
"Can you still do it?" Lin Bai asked.
"It's okay." Gu Yao put away her curious expression and felt that she should give some encouragement, but she couldn't let people be arrogant.
"Have you never learned formations before?" Gu Yao asked.
"I am a casual cultivator, and I got the method of alchemy from the Zhu family, so how can I learn the formation? But I know a little bit about the Feiyun Flag Formation," Lin Bai said modestly.
"That's right." Gu Yao smiled and continued: "Then just keep studying." She clicked on the animal skin formation book and said: "When you reach the seventh formation, you need to stop. If there is no one Teaching, if there is no corresponding spiritual weapon, the formation will be difficult to achieve.”
"Teach me." Lin Bai looked like a good student, and saluted Gu Yao: "I can study such precious things, thanks to the care of my senior sister." Then he saluted to the small pool, "Fortunately, my ancestor favored me."< br>
Miaomiao knows how to flatter her, and the master must follow suit. Being idle is idle, there is no shame in fawning over Nascent Soul.
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Bai went out. He first checked Miao Miao's homework, and then taught Jiang Yu how to make a talisman, and then went to find Sister Huanhuan.
"Sister Huanhuan, you are so kind." Lin Bai was successful in cultivating the formation, and his apprentice was obedient. Aunt Gu did not ask for anything anymore. She was already happy, but after Sister Huanhuan took care of her, she became even happier.
After that, Lin Bai took root here and practiced the art of formation quietly.
Although he occasionally showed his prowess and talent, Gu Yao didn't have much praise and only said that his ancestor was wise.
Lin Bai didn't know how wise Aunt Gu was. Anyway, just call her wise. Could it be that Aunt Gu wasn't wise? They also brought Miaomiao together to shout together, and the master and the disciples fawned over the Yuanying Ancestor together.
It's a pity that the Nascent Soul is like iron. Both the master and the disciple have licked the bare skin with their tongues, and they haven't gotten any water to drink.
After staying for two months, Lin Bai said goodbye.
There weren't many formations in the animal skin formation book, and Lin Bai had only learned the first seven formations. Although he hadn't mastered them all yet, he had memorized them all in his mind, so he could just go back and study them quietly. If you learn other things in the future, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
"Ancestor, I am here to offer you a memorial. I want to inquire about your knowledge of making talismans."
Gu Yao felt that the ancestor had good intentions and took a serious liking to this person because he was trying to cultivate all-round talents. It's a pity that this person has a Taoist companion, otherwise he would have become a wife.
Looking at this person's appearance again, his face seemed to be crying and smiling, and he was clearly touched and frightened at the same time. He was indeed a person who appreciated his kindness.
"..." Lin Bai had a dark face and squeezed out a smile, "I am really ashamed that my ancestor shows such care and concern."
"Ancestor cares for the younger generation the most. You are not an outsider. My ancestor cares for you more than me and Feixue." Gu Yao also sighed with emotion. She patted Lin Bai on the shoulder, looking like a good brother, and said: "Ancestor values you very much."
"Yes, the ancestor's kindness is not over yet." Lin Bai sighed.
After drawing eighteen eye-blocking charms and handing in the job, Lin Bai went to say goodbye to Sister Huanhuan.
"Ancestor seems to know about our affairs." After the lingering, Sister Huanhuan leaned against Lin Bai, her face still blushing.
"What did Ancestor say?" Lin Bai was already scared. Anyway, the matter with Sister Huanhuan has been seen by the fox. I am afraid that Aunt Gu also knows about it, so it is not surprising that Ancestor Yang knows about it.
"The ancestor just told me to practice hard and not to play around." Sister Huanhuan said in a low voice.
After staying in the Qiaoshan sect for two months, Lin Bai didn't think about practicing and only focused on formation matters. When he was bored and tired, he went to discuss the Tao with Sister Huan. The two of them became more and more like water, and they were extremely happy.
"I'll leave tomorrow. You should practice well." Lin Bai opened his mouth and said he was greedy again.
After a night of noisy, Lin Bai took Miaomiao and Jiang Yu back to Xinyi Square.
When you get to the place, go to Tianchi Pavilion first, talk to Yao Qianyuan, and ask her to deliver a message.
"You are not like Jiang Yatou's sister. In the past, that girl had evil thoughts and asked me for a lot... Now that you are all prosperous, she no longer dares to come and play with me." Yao Qianyuan sighed.
After talking about Jiang Yu, Yao Qianyuan asked Miaomiao again. The two of them were quite speculative, and they were all talking about seducing women.
Lin Bai was deeply afraid that Miaomiao would be taught bad things, so he quickly took the two girls away and went to the Crystal Palace to experience the moral teachings of the Yuan Ying Sect.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the Tiger Wolf Pill you refined is better than others." The old cultivator wanted another benefit.
He presented a bottle of Tiger Wolf Pills and got a letter from Qu Ruyi.
I didn't open it on the spot and went to Fengming Pavilion all the way.
Zhu Yuhui is now in charge of Fengming Pavilion. She has just practiced Qi Realm. She is a bit stupid, but fortunately she is an honest person.
"Is there any difficulty in the store now?" Lin Bai asked on behalf of Zhu Jianyang, while Miaomiao and Jiang Yu listened quietly.
"Everything is fine." Zhu Yuhui was still a little cautious, obviously not yet experienced as a shopkeeper.
After asking a few more questions, he returned to Jiang's house.
After sending Jiang Yu and Miaomiao to Yuhu, Lin Bai discussed swords with Jiang Yatou.
"You are involved in a lot of complicated matters and are involved in mundane matters." After the joy, Jiang Xiaobai became more serious, "Although the progress of cultivation is not slow, you still need to know the priorities."
At this point, she added: "You should think about the alchemy."
"Alchemy theory..." Lin Bai suddenly thought of Song Qing and Tie Huasheng.
Both of them were outstanding men. Although they achieved enlightenment on the verge of death, they had no way out. "Have you prepared your elixir theory?" Lin Bai asked curiously.
"No." Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and smiled, "How can alchemy theory be so easy? But I have already thought about it in my heart, and I just need to make up for it in detail."
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Bai ate another big melon until he was full, found an excuse to give Miao Miao a lesson, and then went back to the cave.
"My master is like this. When he is happy, he is Miaomiao. When he is unhappy, he says that I don't work hard." Miaomiao got angry early. She looked at Jiang Yu and explained: "Actually, master cares about me very much. Sister Xiao Yu'er, My master is good to you, so you should stay with me more.”
"This is natural." Jiang Yu nodded.
Lin Bai opened the door of the cave and saw a person sitting with his back inside.
Wearing light green clothes, her back is slightly thin, and her black hair is loose. Although I haven't seen the front face, I know that its temperament is like the water of the Nine Heavens, clear and tranquil, not like the fireworks of the world.
Why is Aunt Gu here again? Do you have to drain me dry? The dignified Yuanying, personally visiting the foundation building nest, is really humiliating.
Lin Bai closed the door of the cave first, then stepped forward to salute obediently, without kneeling, as he was already skinny anyway.
"Ancestor." Lin Bai looked honest and honest.
"We've run out of things, bring some more." Gu Qingshui's voice was light and airy, as if she was speaking from far away.
After Lin Bai heard this, his head couldn't stop hurting.
This Aunt Gu was so demanding that she simply didn't treat people as human beings. No matter how strong a person is, he cannot be so mean! If this continues, what should we do?
I haven't even picked up much wool from the Gu family, let alone drank a few sips of water, but I was picked up by Aunt Gu.
Miaomiao is not so unreasonable!
"Ancestor, please take pity on me!" Lin Bai cried and sold himself out for poverty. "My realm is low, my spiritual power is insufficient, and my consciousness is weak. Making this talisman is the most energy-consuming, and it won't last long. Please forgive me, ancestor."
Looking at Aunt Gu's thin back, Lin Bai was respectful and cursed a hundred times in his heart.
"Ha," Gu Qingshui sneered and said, "You sleep with women every day, and I don't see you saying you are tired. Why are you trying to stop me now? Do you think I can't live without you? Don't you dare to kill you?"
After hearing this, Lin Bai was not afraid, and just looked at Gu Qingshui's back.
This Aunt Gu was really asking for too much, so much so that Lin Bai couldn't bear to conquer her.
But Aunt Gu has a cold temperament, talks little, and has a really bad temper. But such a superior person would never say such things as sleeping with women every day. If you want something, you will never use so many words.
If Aunt Gu were here in person, she would not talk nonsense at all.
"Shen... Ancestor Shen Yu?" Lin Bai asked in a low voice.
"It's not easy to fool little lewd thieves." The fox was quick to tell, but he still looked like Gu Qingshui. His voice was no longer distant, but rather lazy.
"Ancestor, hehe." Lin Bai quickly stepped forward and knelt down behind the fox. Seeing that she did not return to her original shape, he went to beat her back, like a serving boy.
"I'm useful, give me some talismans to play with." The fox said.
"Ancestor, I'm really dead." Lin Bai expressed his bitterness again, "Why don't you stay here for a few days and wait for me to recover a little?"
"Then I'm leaving." The fox really didn't behave like a human being. His light blue clothes turned into reality and he could see the blue color.
Immediately, the fox's figure faded away, and when he saw that it was about to turn into blue light and escape, Lin Bai quickly grabbed the fox's tail.
"Ancestor, let me fulfill my filial piety!" Lin Bai asked for help, but the fox took advantage of him again.
"That's pretty much it." The fox smiled happily, and his figure turned solid and fell to the ground.
Lin Bai boldly picked up the fox and said, "Ancestor, I have something to ask of you."
"Draw the talisman first," said the fox.
"Let's talk first." Lin Bai knew very well that the fox had poor conduct and ran away after eating, so he didn't dare to feed her first.
The fox twirled its tail and said, "Say it."
Lin Bai quickly took out the stone tablet and said: "Ancestor, this is what the younger generation got from the sandy land of Qianhe."
He put his hands in front of the fox and said, "Ancestor, does he know the origin of this thing?"
"I am a wild fox in the forest, not a sand fox. How can I know about the desert?" The fox glanced at the stone sign and closed his eyes.
It makes sense, and Lin Bai can't refute it.
"I got this thing from a descendant of the Jiang family, who died to save me. I want to return it to Senior Jiang Xingchi, but no one succeeds." Lin Bai said the request.
"I understand," the fox opened his eyes, with a smile on his face, and said, "This matter must be involved in something else, and it may also involve the main road. You want to return the favor, don't want to mislead others for praise, and you want to be greedy for something, but you are afraid People are looking for trouble for you and want you to be a dead person who doesn’t know how to talk nonsense.”
Lin Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "The ancestors have insight into people's hearts, and the younger generations are amazed."
"Then you go find Xiao Shui." The fox said matter-of-factly, with an expression that looked like he was looking at a fool, "Now you climb up the high branch of Xiao Shui and let her do the right thing. Why bother me?"
"Ancestor, Ancestor Gu and I are just subordinates, but you are different. As long as Xiu Xiu is here, I will still kiss you, Ancestor! We are a family." Lin Bai immediately expressed his feelings.
"I wouldn't be surprised if you put Gu Qingshui and Yin Wuqing to sleep later." The fox praised.
"Ancestor will make fun of me." Lin Bai stroked her hair with a smile.
This was an experience I had never had before, and it showed that my relationship with the fox had gone a step further.
"Don't you sleep with that big-breasted girl from the Jiang family every day? She's half your mother, so why can't you succeed?" The fox still didn't respond.
This fox talks so nicely that he is almost inhuman.
Lin Bai was very thick-skinned and didn't care at all. He smiled and said, "Ancestor is joking."
"I'm not kidding," the fox said with a serious look, "You have never lived in the mountains for a long time, so you don't know the nature of wild beasts. The kindness of kneeling at the breast is more important than any other kindness."
Lin Bai rubbed his eyebrows. This fox was very sharp-tongued and had a bad mouth. The more he told her, the more she criticized him.
Brushing her hair vigorously and focusing on pleasing her, she was like Miaomiao to herself.
"Ancestor, please help me." Lin Bai was shameless and devoted himself to pleasing everyone.
The fox twirled his tail and finally nodded.
"In my opinion, this stone tablet is probably related to the key to entering Wuxiang Tomb. It may contain not only the method to achieve the Nascent Soul, but also other secrets." The fox opened his eyes and looked at Lin Bai, quite interested, "This move Jiang Xingchi can't do it alone, nor can he do it as a family. I'm afraid he has something to do with Lao Xiang."
"This..." Lin Bai frowned and thought carefully, and asked in a low voice: "Good ancestor, where did you go to ancestor? Does he not care about Gu Da... Gu Gu's affairs?"
"Being able to achieve the Nascent Soul is already a gift from heaven. It is so difficult to take another step forward. It is difficult for one person to succeed in a million." The fox chuckled. "If I want to take a step further, I can let go of other things. Qiaoshan Sect has nothing to do with it." The road is important.”
"That's it." Lin Bai quickly smoothed his hair and said to please: "I may not be able to do it to Ancestor Xiang, but you can definitely do it, Ancestor."
After hearing this, the fox was stunned for a long time and said: "Look at your old age."
"Ancestor, which lover are you talking about?" Lin Bai asked.
The fox was stunned for a moment and said: "If you dare to coax and humiliate Xiuxiu in the future and delay her cultivation, I will throw you to Jiuyin Mountain, where there will be no shortage of women every day!"
"How dare I?" Lin Bai broke out in a cold sweat.
"Do you really want to give your treasure to Jiang Xingchi?" the fox asked.
"He never harmed me, how could I prevent others from becoming enlightened? This is something no one can do." The matter involved Sister Pei, and Lin Bai just wanted to put aside Sister Pei's worries and settle the matter with the Jiang family.
"That makes sense."
The fox swung its tail, as if using the heaven and earth as a vat, stirring them up.
Lin Bai couldn't stay still with the rippling lines in front of him. He was attracted and fell deeper and deeper.
