Chapter 161: Focus on the Tao
The three brothers were good at talking, and they were both valuable and reasonable, so Gu Qingyin reluctantly gave up the idea of continuing to learn cooking.
After her birthday, the weather slowly warmed up, and Gu Qingyin took the time to visit Guoguo.
Soon after the new year, Guoguo went to school.
In order to make it easier to go to and from school, Huo Xinghai bought a house near the school. Guoguo usually lived there with an aunt from the Hua family.
For her safety, Maomao also went with her, and there was a doctor from the Chen family living with her.
Gu Qingyin took the family car and went to the school gate to wait for Guoguo to finish school. Like most parents, she got out of the car and waited at the school gate, stretching her neck to look inside the school.
When the team was led out by the teachers after school, Gu Qingyin followed the parents and swarmed to the front. When she saw Guoguo, she laughed and waved her hands vigorously.
When Guo Guo saw her, her eyes lit up and she jumped twice happily.
"Children who see their parents stand there and raise their hands, waiting for the teacher to come over and give them a high-five before leaving."
Guoguo couldn't wait to raise her hand. After the teacher gave her a high-five, she nimbly jumped out of the crowd and threw herself on Gu Qingyin, "Grandma!"
The sound was sweet and crisp, causing the surrounding parents to look over in confusion. Is this grandma?
Gu Qingyin ignored others, picked up Guoguo and walked out.
"Is school interesting?" Gu Qingyin asked.
Guoguo nodded with a smile, "Well, I have made a lot of friends! A friend invited me to his birthday party today. Can I go?"
Of course Gu Qingyin would not object, "You can go if you want, and remember to prepare a birthday gift."
"What should I prepare..."
While chatting, one large and one young child got in the car and continued chatting.
Talk about life at school, study, and Huo Xinghai’s recent itinerary.
"I miss Uncle Xinghai." Guoguo was a little disappointed. She hadn't seen Huo Xinghai for a long time since she went to school.
Gu Qingyin touched her head and promised: "You study hard first. If you do well in the final exam, I will take you to visit Uncle Xinghai's class, okay?"
Guoguo's eyes lit up, "Really?"
Gu Qingyin stretched out her finger and hooked her, "It's a deal!"
After having dinner with Guoguo, Gu Qingyin left. She was going back to pack her luggage and leave for Wudang Mountain tomorrow.
The competition between Wudang Mountain and Longhua Temple was held in Wudang Mountain this year, and she was invited to be a judge.
When she first got the news, Gu Qingyin was completely confused. What was her identity and why should she be a judge?
Later, he was Liu Ergou's uncle, and the person in charge of the whole Wudang Mountain's external affairs, Zhang Daochang, personally explained it to her.
Only then did Gu Qingyin know that this competition was different from the past. In order to ensure absolute fairness and justice, Wudang Mountain and Longhua Temple each had one judge, then Xuan Xie had two judges, and the last judge was from the private sector.
It just so happened that Gu Qingyin had shown her strength in Xuan Xie before, and since she was not attached to any force now, it was natural for her to be the private judge.
Gu Qingyin accepted the invitation without hesitation.
Although there is no remuneration, it can build a reputation, and you may be able to receive big orders in the future.
At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, Gu Qingyin boarded the plane and landed just after twelve thirty. Liu Ergou was waiting outside the airport. After getting in the car, Liu Ergou didn't mention the competition, but gloated about the misfortune of the Dongfang family.
The Dongfang family, Dongfang Ran's family, a traditional Celestial Master family, could still be considered a prominent family a hundred years ago, but it has declined now.
The total number of members of the family is only thirty, and less than one-third are still practicing mystical arts. Dongfang Ran is the most talented monk in the Dongfang family in the past hundred years.
It's a pity that he went astray and his family was investigated by Xuan Xie inside and outside.
This investigation really revealed the problem.
Counting Dongfang Ran's eight monks, more than half of the eight monks from the Dongfang family specialized in evil ways.
But unlike the evil spirit shown by Dongfang Ran, the rest of the Dongfang family use the bloodline method to practice, which means to purify the blood of other Dongfang family members and use special secret methods to refine and absorb it to improve their own cultivation talents.
That is to say, sacrificing others to fulfill oneself, because they are blood relatives. Although this method is very evil, it has no sequelae.
At first, the Dongfang family only drew a small amount of blood. Later, the monks' appetites grew and they imprisoned many people as blood slaves.
When Xuan Xie found those people, most of them were already half-dead. They were later sent to the hospital. Although they were rescued, due to long-term ischemia, permanent damage was caused to various parts of the body and their life span was greatly reduced.
This incident caused shock in the entire occult world.

Xuan Xie started a round of thorough investigation, and every family and sect had a feeling of turmoil. After all, if we really want to investigate more seriously, no one is 100% clean.
Gu Qingyin clicked her tongue while listening. These once-famous families would do anything to maintain the glory of their ancestors.
Seeing that she was willing to listen, Liu Ergou became more interested in gossiping. He adjusted his sitting posture and unconsciously moved closer to Gu Qingyin. As a result, he turned his head and almost faced Huo Yunjing!
"Ouch!" Liu Ergou was startled and leaned back instinctively, almost falling off his seat.
Huo Yunjing stared at him with an unkind look, and said coldly: "Stay away from my wife." As he said that, he raised his hand and shook it. The wedding ring on his ring finger was particularly obvious.
Liu Ergou was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what it meant.
It wasn't until Gu Qingyin, who was blocked by Huo Yunjing, stretched out her hand to pull Huo Yunjing aside that he realized that Gu Qingyin was also wearing the same ring on her hand, and it was also on her ring finger.
"Are you married?" Liu Ergou realized something was wrong after asking, so he asked again, "Married again?"
Gu Qingyin glanced at Huo Yunjing helplessly, nodded with a smile, "Yes, dark marriage."
Liu Ergou smiled and said, "Congratulations." He looked at Huo Yunjing and said sincerely: "It's not easy to be together despite the separation of yin and yang. Cherish it."
Huo Yunjing squinted his eyes and hummed: "You need to remind me."
Gu Qingyin clicked her tongue, raised her hand and slapped him, saying: "Speak well."
Huo Yunjing choked and thanked him dryly.
Liu Ergou smiled nonchalantly. When he found out that Gu Qingyin had a son, he decided to let go. Now that he found out that Gu Qingyin had a ghost marriage, the last trace of concern in his heart was gone.
To be able to make Gu Qingyin willingly enter into a ghost marriage, she must really like it.
After all, in the past, Gu Qingyin was jealous of ghosts and either wanted to get rid of them or save them.
Liu Ergou smiled. In the future, he will definitely be able to do what his master said and devote himself to the Tao.
