Immortal Formula

   Chapter 12 Finding Relatives

   When Gong Yangzi heard of her identity, she was no longer as easygoing as she had been at the beginning. However, Ziyin was still bouncing around her, very excited. Gongyangzi smiled and said, "My granddaughter is still young, and her state of mind is not deep enough to make friends laugh."

  Gu Yan patted her head and said with a smile, "Ziyin is so innocent and lovable. She has such a cultivation base at such a young age, which is quite remarkable."

Gongyangzi smiled bitterly and said, "For a loose cultivator like us, how can it be so easy to cultivate? You can only ask for some leftovers from the sect and family. Like a fellow Taoist who is blessed by a family, I really dare not think about it. ." He saw that Gu Yan's expression was a little weird, and then he realized, "I'm really sorry, I said the wrong thing again."

Gu Yan looked at this Gongyangzi with a bit of tears and laughter, he seemed to be very talkative, talking about some anecdotes in Tianmu Mountain, and finally said: "Fortunately, Ziyin's Tianzi is not bad, although she was selected as a disciple last time by Fuyumen. I didn't get selected, but there will be a trial conference in Tianmu Mountain in a few years, and the monks who are ranked in the top are qualified to join the three major sects of Tianmu Mountain. She must be eligible."

   Trial Conference? This is something Gu Yan has never heard of, but her current status is that of a son of a famous family. In order to maintain this status, she can only smile without saying a word. However, Ziyin surprised her very much. Seeing that she was only eight or nine years old, she actually reached the third level of Qi Refining? I really live my age to a dog.

   Ziyin turned his head and said dissatisfiedly, "I am a cultivator of the Three Spiritual Roots! I only need to be an entrant disciple, those outside disciples, I won't go if I kill them!"

   In the sect of immortal cultivation, there are usually inner disciples and outer disciples. Most of the outer disciples are relatively poor in talent. In addition to cultivating, they usually handle external affairs and some chores for the teacher. Inner sect disciples concentrate on their cultivation and receive a certain amount of offerings every month. Can be instructed by senior monks in the sect.

   And the disciples who entered the room went a step further. Each of them has a special master to teach them, and they can get the magic formula and spiritual tools that are in line with their spiritual roots. The progress of cultivation is naturally a thousand miles.

   By this time Ziyin had already cleaned up all the things in the distance, Gongyangzi said, "Let's go quickly, when we meet someone from the Zhushan faction, they will **** things from you."

   Ziyin pouted and hummed: "Those people are unclean, they are the most annoying. I want to tell Sister Xiaoyu and beat them hard."

   Gu Yan thought it was very strange. Ordinary loose cultivators are most in awe of this kind of martial art deeply rooted in the spiritual veins. Listening to Ziyin's words, it seems that they are not afraid of them.

   Gongyangzi saw her doubts and explained to her. It turned out that Ziyin's mother, who was once a disciple of Fuyumen in Tianmu Mountain, died in a fight. Her mother's master, a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, promised Gong Yangzi that as long as Ziyin was successful in her practice, she would be accepted as a disciple. Ziyin and her mother are both cultivators of the Three Spiritual Roots, and her aptitude seems to be higher than her mother's. She has cultivated to the third level of Qi Refining at a young age. The female cultivator has already agreed, as long as she passes the test in a few years. In the test of the refining conference, she will be accepted as a disciple. The little jade sister that Ziyin was talking about was the disciple that the cultivator had accepted a few years ago. She was a few years older than Ziyin, and she was still a child at heart. Friendship is good.

   The so-called trial meeting is generally a means of recruiting disciples for the cultivator sect. There are many scattered cultivators in the world who rely on their own exploration, and some of them have very good qualifications. The trial conference is to recruit talents who stand out from these people and enter the sect through various selection methods. Of course, most of them were disciples from the outer sect at the beginning, and they needed to have a good performance in the teacher's sect before they could transfer to the inner sect and concentrate on their cultivation. Ziyin has a chance to become a disciple, which can be said to be a step up to the sky.

  Gu Yan then understood why Ziyin had such achievements at a young age, and it was because of someone's protection. She thought that her parents had both died, and it was only with constant perseverance that she could barely enter the threshold of the immortal world, and she suddenly felt a little sad. The little girl in front of her has her own relatives, but she is like a piece of duckweed between heaven and earth without roots. She turned her eyes to Yunyang City in the distance. Could the Gu family be her refuge?

Gong Yangzi saw that she looked a little melancholy, thinking that he didn't want to walk with him, so he cupped his hands and said: "Gu Daoyou, you are far away from the place where the incident happened. If you have something to do, how about you leave it alone?" Anyway, the two sides divided up the things of those people. A clean, he is not worried that Gu Yan will leak out.

  Gu Yan gave an "ah" and said, "I still have a trip to Yunyang City. Let's meet again in the future." She bowed her hands to the two of them, and then walked in the other direction.

Ziyin waved to her reluctantly: "When you come to Tianmu Mountain in the future, you must come and play with me!" Seeing Gu Yan's figure slowly walking away, she suddenly touched her head and said, "I seem to have forgotten to ask her. name…"

  Yunyang City is now an important pass for the Yue Kingdom to resist the attack of the Northern Song Kingdom. Many soldiers are stationed here, and there are a large number of military camps on the outskirts of the city. At present, military control has been basically implemented in the city, and the entrance and exit of the city must be strictly checked.

  Gu Yan did not enter the city, because the Gu family was not in the city either. The Gu family lived in seclusion on Qingyun Mountain in the northeast of Yunyang City. Only in this mountain, the depths of clouds do not know where. Many people don't even know there is such a family. No matter how the mortals' swords, lights, swords and shadows, the city head changes, the cultivators just look down at these mortals high, these people are just like ants in their hearts.

  Gu Yan searched for a mountain for several days, because after what happened that night, she was surprised to find that she could no longer enter into meditation!

When she was sitting cross-legged, absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth according to the previous method, just as soon as she entered the state of meditation, she heard a deafening voice in her sea of ​​consciousness, constantly shouting: "The heaven and the earth are not formed, by What is the test? It is bright and dark, who is the most extreme? The wheel of night and day, how is it divided? What is the origin and branch of Yin and Yang?"

   This made Gu Yan very surprised. She has been practicing according to the established steps in the book. When such a phenomenon occurs that she does not understand, she has no way to solve it. Now she can no longer absorb the vitality between heaven and earth through meditation. Do you have to rely on spiritual stones to cultivate in the future?

  But if you don’t exercise your spiritual consciousness and state of mind through meditation, you can’t improve your realm, so how can she continue to cultivate? That voice has been shouting non-stop. In the past two days, she has ripped through several books that her father left to her, but there is not a single word in it. She has no teacher to ask for. After a few days, she had no choice but to give up looking for answers, and she decided to go to Gu's house to have a look. Maybe the elders there can help her.

  Gu Yan set foot on Qingyun Mountain, which was bathed in the morning glow. The Yangxing Peak on the northeast corner of Qingyun Mountain is where the Gu family's mansion is located. She raised her head and looked up, a cyan path winding up to the top of the mountain, with a faint glow under the shroud of the morning glow, her eyes narrowed unconsciously, it was her father who was born and grew up in Siyusi. The place, but because of a setback, he has no face to come back. Today, her daughter wants to follow in her father's footsteps and return to the family that is connected to her by blood. The scenery in the distance was a little blurry under the reflection of the morning light, Gu Yan tightened the package on her body, and walked steadily towards the peak step by step.

About halfway through the distance, Gu Yan felt that the scenery around her was slowly blurring. She used her divine sense to investigate and found a small phantom formation around it. This phantom formation was very weak. A successful cultivator can crack it, presumably to avoid the intrusion of mortals.

She pinched a magic formula with her hand and raised it forward, the blurred scenery in front disappeared, revealing a straight road leading to the top of the mountain, where she could see a huge gate in front of her, Standing up from the ground, there are four hearty characters "Qingyang Gu's" written on it.

   Behind the gatehouse is a very large square. They are all paved with bluestone slabs, and then there is an endless giant building that looks like a villa or a castle. The walls outside alone are several feet high. Chenhui slanted down along the city wall, making people feel that the building is almost upright. The handwriting of the Xiuxian family is truly extraordinary!

   Gu Yan, who has been practicing in the world, has never seen such a majestic building. She opened her eyes wide, looked at it for a long time, and then strode inside.

   As she walked through that gate, she felt that the illusory scene in front of her suddenly became alive. A young man was standing above the gate, with a childish smile on his face. When he saw Gu Yan, he asked her, "Did you come to visit Gu's house?"

  Gu Yan looked at this young man who was probably only in his twenties. There was still light fluff on his lips, his black eyes were very eye-catching in the sun, and the smile on his face was very gentle, which gave her a sense of intimacy. From her eyes, she could vaguely see the outline of her father back then. She smiled lightly at the young man: "I'm here to recognize my relatives."
