Chapter 401 Gu Xu’s Apprentice
This girl who calls herself “Xi” looks very similar to Zhao Yan.
She is tall, has a beautiful face, and her fox eyes with upturned corners are bright and charming.
The animal skin formed a short skirt around her waist.
Underneath the short skirt is a pair of graceful and well-proportioned long legs that look like sculptures.
The only difference is that this girl is not yet mature, and her temperament is still a bit green - she is far less open-minded than Zhao Yan, and she has a demonic aura that charms all living beings.
"Xi, don't be rude to the gods!" The old man who took the lead in kneeling on the ground reprimanded the girl, "If you offend the gods, our tribe will be finished from now on!"
"But Lord Gods She's not angry." The girl smiled mischievously at the old man, then turned her head and looked at Gu Xu, "Are you right?"
Gu Xu nodded.
Looking at her familiar face and her smile, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
"You just said that you are... a 'practitioner'?" Xi continued, "Can you tell me what exactly a 'practitioner' is?"
Girl's voice It's clear and clean, with a gently rising tail note, as sweet and sweet as a lark in spring.
“A practitioner is a person who gains extraordinary power through practice,” Gu Xu replied, “After becoming a practitioner, you can control fire, thunder and lightning, wind and rain, and then kill like I just did Ghost."
"Can I also become a practitioner?" The girl opened her eyes and looked at him.
Her pupils were burning with the flame of hope - just like the look in Zhao Yan's eyes when she cornered him in an alley that night and proposed to marry him.
It was hot and hot, as if it was going to melt his soul.
"As long as you have the talent for cultivation, that's fine."
"Then can you see that I have the talent for cultivation?"
There is nothing in Gu Xu like "Heaven" A magic weapon like "Yanshi" cannot directly test the girl's qualifications.
He thought for a moment, took out an old copper coin, threw it up gently, and silently recited the names of "Tai Shang Haotian" and "Emperor Ziwei".
Then the coin fell back into his hand, face up.
“You can practice.” He told the girl.
The girl was so happy that she almost jumped with excitement.
"Can you teach me how to practice?" she asked again.
Gu Xu looked at her and thought for a moment.
He thought that he would have to wait until he left "Guixu" before he could find the fragments of the "Astrolabe".
I stayed in ancient times during this time and didn’t know what to do.
As an ordinary person, this girl lives a precarious life in this wilderness surrounded by ghosts.
With just a little effort, he can teach her some self-protection skills, so that she and her family can be protected from the wanton killings of ghosts in the future.
In addition, this girl looks so much like Zhao Yan.
Since there was a high probability that he would have no connection with Zhao Yan in the future, after rejecting the other party's full affection, he felt more or less sorry for her, and instinctively wanted to be nicer to this girl.
He finally nodded and replied: "Of course."
The girl immediately leaned down again, touched the dust at his feet with her forehead, and said respectfully and happily: "Disciple Xi pays homage to the master "Respected."
Hearing this, Gu Xu felt a little strange: Could it be that there was a teacher-student relationship in primitive society?
But then he thought again that the primitive people in the wilderness were not the real primitive people, but the followers of Emperor Ziwei who were imprisoned in the underworld, and the imprint of the upper world still remained in their souls. Therefore, even the language spoken is not much different from what it was thousands of years later.
It is only because his memory was erased by "Tai Shang Haotian" and he was hunted by ghosts and ghosts that he had no fixed place and no security, so he lived a life like a primitive man. He bent down slightly and helped the girl up from the ground: "Xi, there is no need to be polite."
Then he looked at the old and young people present: "Everyone, please get up. I really It’s not a god, it’s just an ordinary person who is lucky enough to have extraordinary power. Maybe it won’t take long for Xi to become as powerful as me.”
Everyone finally stood up, but looked at Gu Xu. Still showing awe.
After all, whether Gu Xu is a human or a god, since he can easily wipe out the "ferocious ghosts", he also has the ability to control the life and death of their entire tribe.
The only exception is Xi.
Her eyes boldly stayed on Gu Xu for a long time, mixed with a little fascination, and murmured softly: "Master is so good-looking."
…………
Xi’s tribe does not have a fixed residence.
In this land where ghosts are rampant, in order to survive, they need to be ready to move at any time.
Sometimes they live in hidden caves, sometimes in simple tents made of animal skins, and more often they sleep in the open air.
In the next few days, Gu Xu taught Xi how to practice while migrating with the tribe.
"...The first step in practice is to release your spiritual consciousness and perceive the existence of the evil spirit between heaven and earth," he said patiently, "because what you need to do next is to They are drawn into your body and refined into the true essence needed to cast spells...
"Do you feel it?" "
"Master, I feel that those evil spirits you mentioned seem to be repelling me. "Xidai frowned slightly.
"This is normal," Gu Xu explained. "The evil spirit is originally the nourishment that ghosts and monsters need to survive, and it is inconsistent with the human race. You can't expect it to come to you on its own initiative. You must use strong methods to control it. It's forced into the body."
"That's it," Xi thought thoughtfully.
Gu Xu must admit that Xi is extremely talented in cultivation. It only took her less than two hours to learn to manipulate her spiritual consciousness to find the evil spirits in the world. Qi.
Although it is not as good as Gu Xu, the successor of Emperor Ziwei, it is still far better than most monks in the world.
But then Gu Xu realized a serious problem——
Under normal circumstances, during the process of practice, monks need to take pills to stabilize their minds and avoid being eroded by evil spirits, which may lead to going crazy.
But in the process of escaping, Gu Xu had already thrown away all his previous pills.
When he went to Dayan, he was already a fourth-level monk, and there was no need to obtain the elixirs needed by lower-level monks such as "Jingxin Pill" and "Eternal Brightness Pill".
So now, he does not have any elixir that Xi can use.
“What should we do?” He frowned and thought, “Is there any alternative to the elixir?”
However, just as he was lost in thought, the girl beside him quietly entered a meditative state without instructions or teaching.
“Xi, stop!”
Gu Xu patted her shoulder, interrupting her practice.
"Master, did I do something wrong?" the girl asked doubtfully.
“No,” Gu Xu shook his head, “Before you officially start practicing, I must ask you a few questions first.
"First of all, did you feel the erosion of your vitality by the aura of death just now? Did you hear the deceptive whispers in the dark?"
"No." The girl blinked with a look on her face. Confused.
