Ask with the devil [Xiu Xian]

In the teaching room, Chu Li silently observed the person in front of him.

Gu Mingyuan was dressed in a blue and white Taoist robe, with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, unable to see the expression on his face clearly. Although his facial features were childish, they had already revealed a handsome prototype, and there was a faint evil spirit surrounding his body. If he hadn't reached Chu Li's realm, it would be very difficult perceived.

The boy's demeanor is very calm, but it is not the kind of calmness without waves, but the loneliness and silence caused by being alone and having nothing to rely on, and it is also silent vigilance and resistance.

Chu Li said lightly: "Brother Gu, since you have already entered my sect, you should practice my method. However, the direction of the exercises comes from the desire of the heart, and the desires are different, but the exercises are different. Therefore , Junior Brother, can you tell me what exactly is the Tao you seek?"

He had doubts about it for a long time.The young man who was guilty of injustice and died of blood relatives is still vivid in his memory. Now even if the memory is washed away and raised in Qianmo, Chu Li does not think that Gu Mingyuan's heart has not been affected by the experience of that year in the slightest.

The evil of blood often affects people's minds, and it is easy to make people cynical and paranoid. However, the Taoism and law of the Taiqing Xianzong tend to be indifferent to the world, without desires and desires.

To be honest, the young man did not go into evil ways, but insisted on climbing the Taiqing Heavenly Steps to seek the Taoism of the Immortals, which has already surprised him.

Hearing Chu Li's question, Gu Mingyuan's hand, which was quietly placed on his knee, slightly bent. After a while, he raised his head, with a respectful and cautious expression, which was indeed the expression of an ordinary person facing his fellow seniors.

However, the pair of long, narrow and sharp black eyes exposed him. Deep in those dark eyes, it seemed that a cluster of small and dark flames were burning, turbulently blazing with hidden ambitions.

Gu Mingyuan's voice was clear and clear like a teenager, but there was also a hint of inexplicable hoarseness, and said: "Brother, there is no other reason. I am eager for the magic skills mastered by people who practice Taoism, and I also want to obtain the way of longevity so that they can last forever in the world." , rather than wanting to be restrained by all living beings and trapped in the cage of the world, so he embarked on the journey of cultivating the Tao and worshiping in the immortal sect."

Only with strength can there be freedom.

This was something Gu Mingyuan had never said before, and Chu Li heard it.

He was noncommittal.

Gu Mingyuan seemed to realize that his words were too wild and not suitable for the Taiqing Xianzong's Taoism and decree, he pursed his lips, hiding the ambition that was about to emerge in his eyes, then lowered his eyebrows again, and explained in a low voice: " ...However, the reason why I have such a desire actually stems from a dream I often have."

"Oh?" Chu Li signaled him to continue.

"I was in a dream, and the whole world was blood-colored, and I couldn't see other colors clearly. There were many ghosts and ghosts inside, and it was treacherous and terrifying. It was clearly just a dream, but it felt so real. Every time I woke up, I would think that this kind of fate cannot be controlled The feeling in the hand is too disgusting. Brother, can you understand?"

Gu Mingyuan lowered his head, he was quite thin even though he was still young, and his voice was weak and trembling, which was not unsympathetic.

However, Chu Li could clearly feel the vague resistance in the other party's words, and understood the vigilance and temptation all over his body under this weak disguise.

He sighed slightly in his heart, and said, "Don't be troubled by this. There are three thousand ways, some people pursue the infinite mysteries of heaven and earth, and others pursue power and longevity. There is no right or wrong. Although our sect emphasizes quietness and inaction, it is not You must stay away from the mundane world, cut off love and love, as long as you stick to the purity and unity of your heart, put an end to the breeding of delusional thoughts, do nothing, and you can do everything."

Gu Mingyuan looked up at him in surprise, as if he was very surprised that the senior brother who looked too cold and indifferent in front of him didn't reprimand him for what the orthodox cultivators thought was too "chasing fame and fortune", but said something like this Similar words of comfort.

Chu Li continued: "...I already know what you are thinking and asking for. According to your heart, you can practice Taiqing Daoxuan Scripture and Taiqing Chongxu Sword Jue in the future. Both methods have been recorded on this jade In the Jue, you should observe it with your mind and understand it with your heart. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can find it yourself.”

After finishing speaking, he handed a shiny white jade to Gu Mingyuan.

The boy's unopened hand was slender and thin, and the moment he took the jade ring, the back of his hand touched the other's slender and shiny fingertips.

At this moment, Gu Mingyuan didn't know what to think, but he shook his hand back and held his senior brother's hand.

Chu Li's hand paused, and he asked doubtfully, "Junior brother?"

Gu Mingyuan finally let go of his hand slowly, without any abnormality in his tone, he just said: "...Sorry, I'm sorry."

Chu Li frowned slightly, but he couldn't see Gu Mingyuan's trembling hands in his sleeves, and couldn't find any clues on the surface, so he could only say indifferently: "It's okay." Immediately, he got up, walked outside, and said a sentence: "Junior Brother After staying here, if you need any help, just send me a message in Yujue."

And Gu Mingyuan sat alone in the teaching room, staring at his back, his eyes seemed to be lost in thought.

……

From that day on, Chu Li would often receive summons from Gu Mingyuan, asking him for advice on some problems and perplexities in practice, with a respectful and polite attitude.

So if things go on like this, the distance between the two has shortened a lot unconsciously.

Gu Mingyuan was still young, and he had some karmic entanglements with him early on. Now that he has become his junior, Chu Li felt a little bit of pity in his heart, so when taking care of this junior, he unconsciously became a little more gentle. Yourong.

Considering his usual indifferent disposition, it was quite rare.

Gu Mingyuan in his youth, although he was somewhat aloof and deep in his bones, was very good at observing words and expressions.

He treats everyone with an appropriate distance, neither far nor close, neither close nor close, not annoying, but also unable to attract people to become friends, and only when facing him, he will unconsciously reveal Show a little closeness.

Perhaps it was because of his awareness of his kindness.

Chu Li secretly guessed.

On this day, Chu Li was sitting cross-legged in the cave with a scroll in his hand, reading it carefully.

The jade ring at hand lit up, and Chu Li reached out to wipe off the light on it, and said, "Please come in."

The restrictions outside the cave changed, revealing a passage.The handsome young man who has grown taller came in, his eyes fell on the young Daoxiu, who was sitting on a futon, with white clothes and black hair, and a handsome appearance, and then slowly shifted to the white and slender hand holding the scroll, scanning the two In the circle, there is a brilliance in the eyes, and finally it becomes a gentle and gentle intimacy.

He bowed down and saluted, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few months, brother has improved in cultivation, congratulations."

Chu Li put down the scroll, and there was a faint coercion around his body, but it was because he broke through to the early stage of Yuanying half a month ago, and his breath was unstable.He nodded lightly, raised his hand to signal Gu Mingyuan to sit down, and said, "I've been in seclusion for a long time, is there any difficulty in my cultivation?"

Gu Mingyuan naturally sat down cross-legged in front of him, his movements were familiar and close, whether intentionally or not, the distance between them was a little too close, so close that Chu Li could see his junior brother's eyes as bright as cold stars just by lowering his head slightly.

"To tell you the truth, senior brother, when I was cultivating recently, I suddenly felt the qi and blood in my body sink, and the true energy in the veins seemed to be blocked. It happened to be the time to condense the golden core, and I was afraid that the foundation would not be stable, so I came here to ask senior brother for advice."

"Blocking of true energy?" Chu Li frowned slightly, and peeped at the acupuncture points in the opponent's body with his powerful spiritual sense. It can be seen that the energy and blood are indeed stagnant, which is not a good thing for a cultivator.Looking at it again, I finally found the clue, and asked in a deep voice: "Where did the injury on your body come from?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Gu Mingyuan gave a wry smile, and said: "A month ago, I found a few Anshen grasses in the back mountain. I thought that my brother was about to go out of seclusion, and I wanted to make Ningshen incense as a gift to my brother, so I wanted to collect the raw materials, but unexpectedly, it didn't work." Grass has spirit beasts to protect her, she was accidentally injured slightly, and she took the wound medicine in time when she came back, she expected to be fine, but she didn't expect..."

He paused, and said softly, "Sorry, brother."

How could Chu Li blame him for what he said?So I had no choice but to sigh: "Turn around, I'll help you heal."

Hearing this, Gu Mingyuan's lips twitched into a subtle smile, then lowered his eyes to cover the expression in his eyes, and said gratefully: "Thank you, brother."

He turned around, turned his back to Chu Li, sat cross-legged, slowly took off his outer robe, unbuttoned his inner garment, and exposed his back.

The young man's back still looks a little green and thin, covered with thin muscles, containing strength that cannot be underestimated. He is sitting upright, and the stretched lines are even more graceful.

Chu Li raised his hand and pressed it on Gu Mingyuan's back, touching his skin, the scorching heat continuously spread from the young man's body to his slightly cool palm.

He remained motionless, and the mighty true energy flowed in his body, entering the young man's body from the palm of his hand, flowing along the meridians and repairing the hidden wounds in his body.

Thin sweat oozes from Gu Mingyuan's body, as if he felt pain, his back trembled a little, at this moment, Chu Li's clear voice sounded: "Calm down, stay focused, hold Yuan Shou Yi."

After a while, Chu Li noticed that Gu Mingyuan's pain hadn't eased, and the gentle words with some consolation sounded again: "...don't worry, it will be over soon."

Following this sentence, the painful trembling of Gu Mingyuan's whole body stopped abruptly, until Chu Li finished his work, Gu Mingyuan spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and did not utter a sound of pain again.

He raised his hand to put on the clothes slowly, then turned around, as if he couldn't help saying: "Brother, you are so kind."

So good that he... has even more turbulent ambitions in his heart...

Chu Li didn't notice anything unusual, so he just patted him on the shoulder lightly, and told him: "The spirit beasts in Houshan are not low-level, if you don't have a golden core cultivation base, don't go alone, you need to remember this lesson in the future, and don't worry about it." Don't act rashly, you know?"

Gu Mingyuan smiled and said, "Well, I made a note, senior brother."

……

The last apprentice Chu Yan accepted before his ascension was named Li Chen.

Li Chen is not the same as his two previous juniors.He is extremely beautiful, shockingly beautiful, and his age is about the same as when Gu Mingyuan first started, but his youthful appearance is already amazing.

Along with beauty comes sin and misfortune.

Compared with Gu Mingyuan, Li Chen's life experience is even more tragic and embarrassing. Many sufferings and trials fell on the young man, which aggravated his frailty and emaciation.

When Chu Li saw him for the first time, he almost felt that this man was a puppet made of crystal, and it would shatter to pieces with the slightest touch.

Li Chen is talented, but he is also a body of a furnace. If he hadn't been rescued by Zhenjun Chu Yan passing by, he might have become a plaything in the hands of others. Even so, he would have suffered a lot.

It is conceivable that the entire division took great care of Li Chen.Even Chu Li, who is the most difficult to get close to, seldom puts on an overly indifferent attitude towards Li Chen.

Only Gu Mingyuan was different.

He also took care of this new junior brother just like his senior brothers, but his attitude was always lukewarm, and even showed obvious hostility when they first met.

Li Chen has an introverted personality and is very well-behaved. He timidly called "Second Senior Brother" and "Second Senior Brother" to them, but when it was Gu Mingyuan's turn, he took a few steps back.

Chu Li looked sideways, just in time to see the lingering coldness in Gu Mingyuan's eyes.

Children are sensitive by nature, and they are even more sensitive to hostility. Chu Li didn't know why Gu Mingyuan was hostile to this little junior who had never met before, but he could only help him clean up the mess, stepped forward, and pulled Li Chen into his arms , softly appease.

However, after seeing this scene, Gu Mingyuan's face became colder and colder.
