Chapter 74 Please...get away! No one paid attention to Gu Yuanqing's words. Gong Xin's expression returned to normal. He put the poisonous bee back into the bag and tied it around his waist. He said with some resentment, "Brother Zuo, I came to help you get your knife back. Isn't it a bit unkind of you to do this?" Zuo Qiu's mood improved a lot, and he smiled: "Brother Gong, you are wrong. I have told you about the strangeness of this mountain, and I suffered a lot when I entered it. For cultivators like us, the path is difficult, like walking on the cliff of a thousand-foot abyss. We should be cautious in everything and learn from others' lessons. Don't be too conceited when doing things." Hearing Zuo Qiu repeating his previous words, Gong Xin's expression froze for a moment, and then he said calmly, "Brother Zuo is right. After all, you left your knife in there. I should have been more cautious." Gu Yuanqing listened to the conversation from afar and chuckled, "You two are so friendly and respectful to each other. I envy you. But since you two are here, do you want to go into the mountains to chat? Please tell me. If you don't want to come in, please..." At this point, he paused for a moment and said, "Get away!" Such impolite words made the two people below feel uncomfortable. They thought that they were both the best of the younger generation in the sect. When they entered this world, the people they met were either fearful or flattering. They had never been ridiculed and despised like this. Gong Xin glanced at Zuo Qiu and asked, "Brother Zuo, have you ever seen this person leave Beiquan Mountain?" Zuo Qiu concealed this and said, "No, even when I was on the verge of death that day, I didn't see him chasing me after I left Beiquan Mountain." "Is that so?" Gong Xin seemed to be thinking about something, then he smiled and said, "So, although I haven't seen the formation of this mountain, I guess his methods are limited to this Beiquan Mountain. The people in this tiny and barren world are so arrogant just because they have some skills, thinking that they can't do anything to him if they hide in the mountain."
"Oh? What methods does Brother Gong have?" Gong Xin waved his folding fan lightly, regaining his calm and composed look. "My Netherworld Sect has all kinds of methods, and there is a miscellaneous subject that I find quite interesting at the time, so I will try it out in Beiquan Mountain." Zuo Qiu grinned and said, "Then I will wait and see. It's a good opportunity to see it for myself." Gong Xin looked up at the sun in the sky and said, "But now the sun is shining brightly in the sky, so it's not suitable to perform this magic. Let's go find a restaurant and come back at night." Gu Yuanqing watched the two men leave with a frown. It seemed that there would be trouble again tonight. He didn't know what means the other party would use, but since he was in Lingshan, he could just deal with them as they came. However, he felt somewhat unhappy. Although he had no worries in this mountain, it was too frustrating to allow the other party to come and go freely and cause trouble at any time. "I am only at the Daotai Realm now, which is a big realm away from these two. In terms of means, they come from the outer world and have countless techniques to choose from, while I only have a few Grandmaster-level techniques, and I have to deduce the methods of practice by myself. It is obviously difficult to kill the enemy with my own techniques. Perhaps I need to think more about the secret sword and the mountain-viewing object." Not to mention the secret sword, as long as you can find the secret, it will naturally help your cultivation. Watching the mountains can help one understand the truth and comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth, which is very beneficial to cultivation. As for the method of controlling objects, Gu Yuanqing vaguely felt that there were deeper things to be explored, rather than simply controlling objects and true qi. He flew down the mountain and came to the poisonous bees he had just killed. He saw that many of them were not yet dead. Their heads had hideous faces and inch-long poisonous needles shot out from their tails. Gu Yuanqing snorted lightly and used the Blood Tiger Demon Sword to kill all the poisonous bees. Looking at the trees and some familiar animals dying from the corrosion of the poisonous bees' body fluids, he did not look very good. At this time, Beiquan Mountain was like his home to him. These birds and animals were no different from the ones he raised himself. How could he allow outsiders to harm them? He kept this account in mind and would definitely find a chance to get it back in the future. "This tail needle is extremely tough and has a sharp tip. It seems that it can also be used as a hidden weapon." Gu Yuanqing thought about it and decided to give up. He still had enemies to deal with at night and was too lazy to spend the energy to deal with them. He raised his hand and slashed a deep hole near the mountain, then threw the poisonous bees and the venom into the pit using the method of controlling objects. He transformed his true energy into a palm and buried it, then turned around and went back to the mountain. When they arrived near the side courtyard, he once again reminded Aunt Feng not to go out at night, and to hide in the cellar if necessary.
Then he returned to the courtyard, took the secret sword in his hand, closed his eyes, slowly injected his true energy into it, and his thoughts followed the true energy into the sword, comprehending the mystery of the sword. But after a long time, I still didn't feel any difference. "It is said that when the founder of the Beiquan Sword School obtained this secret sword, he was only at the level of Zhenwu cultivation, and he could get a glimpse of the secret. I am already at the level of a Grandmaster, and I don't believe that I can find the secret of this sword." As the true energy continued to be injected, the sword in his hand became heavier and heavier, and the stone slabs on the ground began to collapse under the pressure. But no matter how hard Gu Yuanqing tried to concentrate his mind, the secret sword was like stagnant water and he could not detect any abnormalities. Gu Yuanqing opened his eyes, and the secret sword quickly returned to its three-inch shape. He stared at it for a long time with a frown on his face. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he closed his eyes again. He injected his true energy again, and this time he used his mind and the method of observing the mountain to "look" at it. With the combination of these two factors, the world in the sword becomes clearer. One can see that after the strands of true energy entered the sword, they were quickly absorbed by some mysterious substance. Gu Yuanqing seemed to vaguely see some rune-like lines hidden in the sword. But these lines were vague and unclear, and no matter how he injected true energy into them, they could not be truly revealed. After a stick of incense, he opened his eyes again. "This secret sword can perhaps be called a magic weapon. Even a sword used in sword practice requires a long period of time to be nurtured with true energy before it can become one with the sword, let alone a magic weapon. Perhaps if I nurture it with true energy every day and gradually establish a connection with this secret sword, I can get a glimpse of its secrets." Thinking of this, he had a rough idea of his whereabouts, so he calmed down again, practicing observing the mountains and controlling objects, and carefully comprehending the mysteries that he had not noticed before. In the evening, Feng Tao brought dinner and Gu Yuanqing gave a few more instructions. After dinner, he practiced again. During this afternoon's practice, he had vaguely felt a level of controlling objects that he had never touched before. However, this feeling was vague and he still needed a little opportunity to truly break through. He kept trying to combine mountain viewing and controlling objects, using his own mind to control everything in Beiquan Mountain, looking for inspiration and that ray of opportunity in constant attempts. At the same time, he patiently waited for the arrival of Zuoqiu and others. He also wanted to see what methods these alien visitors would use! (End of this chapter)
