Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 17: Gu Changqing

In an inn in Anyang Mansion.

A young man with a slender figure, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and golden clothes was standing in front of Shi Wunian. He bowed to him and said: "Gu Changqing of Yingtang has met the Great Wish Master! I have met the two of them. Real people."

"No need to be polite." Shi Wunian waved his hand and motioned for the other party to sit down: "Thank you for your hard work coming all the way."

"Thank you very much for your concern, Lord. This disciple came here and brought twelve masters from Yingtang. Please listen to Lord May's instructions."

"I am more willing to listen to your thoughts on the pursuit of military intelligence... You already know everything, right?"

"Yes, I have checked all the information on the way here."

"What do you think?"

"This question has no solution." The young man replied.

"Huh?" Shi Wunian raised his eyebrows.

But Gu Changqing was completely unafraid and just said: "With Xiao Biehan disrupting the situation, we have missed the best opportunity to hunt down that boy. The sky is huge, the earth is huge, the sea of ​​people is huge, and we haven't been able to catch him for several months. This person, given a few years or decades, it will be difficult to catch him again... We haven’t even seen that person."

"Don't you have a name?"

"Wen Xinguo's name is Tang Jie, and there are not even ten thousand but eight thousand. As for the name, you can change it if you want. If you search based on the name, you may not be able to find anything."

"What about the portrait?" Xu Ruogu asked.

"It's even more useless." Gu Changqing replied unceremoniously: "Oral description can only work when the other party has obvious characteristics, such as hemorrhoids on the face, baldness, or birth abnormalities, etc. If it is an ordinary person , it is impossible to confirm it by relying on portraits alone."

Everyone was immediately stunned. The portrait itself is somewhat different from the real person. In addition, the oral description of the painting. Although those who have seen Tang Jie will think it is more similar, those who have not seen it may not be able to recognize it. Out.

He Changqing has already said: "Besides, the other person is just a teenager, and it is time to grow up. When people grow up, their physical appearance will always change. Even if they haven't seen each other for many years, even people they are familiar with may not be the same. It is even more difficult to recognize an old friend, let alone a portrait with countless portraits, and if the other party deliberately hides it."

"Do you mean to let the other party get away with it?" He Chong became anxious.

"Of course not. I'm just saying that actively pursuing him may be fruitless, but it doesn't mean that he can't be found." Gu Changqing replied calmly.

"What do you think? Just say it." Shi Wunian said.

Gu Changqing replied: "If you want to catch this kid, you must first get to know him. When I came here, I had checked everything about Xu Muyang and found that Xu Muyang had never known a Tang Jie boy before. , Master Xu should be able to confirm this."

"Yes." Xu Ruogu replied.

"That means that this young man should be Xu Muyang's acquaintance after he fled to Wenxin Kingdom. He Zhenren, you chased Xu Muyang all the way to Wenxin Kingdom, did you give Xu Muyang too much time in the process? free time?"

"Absolutely not." He Chong replied: "I chased him all the way, fighting intermittently. When I was almost inseparable from Xu Muyang, the longest separation time was no more than a few hours."

"That means that he met the boy after the Battle of Cuiwei Mountain. And the house was bought one month after the Battle of Cuiwei Mountain. Tang Jie had already appeared at that time, so who knew Tang Jie The time should be within this month. Before coming, I had ordered the local secret hall disciples to check for signs of Xu Muyang's presence nearby, and found that just one month after the Battle of Cuiwei Mountain, a few days before Tang Jie bought a house, In the past, there was an incident of massacre by horse thieves in Xiaohe Village at the foot of Cuiwei Mountain, and almost all the villagers in Xiaohe Village were slaughtered."

"Do you think Xu Muyang did this?"

"I have been to Xiaohe Village, where someone erected a grave for Xiaohe Village, but unfortunately no name was left. I had the grave dug out, examined the body, and confirmed that it was a sword wound. Several of them died. Divine attack."

"Sure enough!" He Chong had already snorted: "That day before I was defeated and left, I launched the wrath of the gods to bombard the eight-door Heaven-locking Formation with all my strength. The Heaven-locking Formation was hastily set up by Xu Muyang, and it was ineffective. In order to maintain the formation, Mu Yang must have been seriously injured, so he must have healed his injuries on the spot. He did not come out until a month later, but he happened to encounter the massacre of the village by horse thieves in Xiaohe Village, and took action to kill the thieves. This Xu Muyang also I will never forget my heroic deeds even before I die!"

The tone was full of disdain.

"That's right." Gu Changqing responded: "Before coming, I have sent people to check other nearby villages. Some people have had contact with Xiaohe Village. It has been confirmed that there is indeed a twelve-year-old boy named Tang there. , it’s a pity that the contact is not deep and the understanding is not specific enough. The whole village was burned down again. Now no more specific information can be found, but it is 80% certain that Tang Jie is the last living villager in Xiaohe Village, and Xu Muyang is killing him. After killing the thief, we took him away."

"What's the use of knowing this?" He Chong asked dissatisfied.

"Useful!" Gu Changqing replied: "Only when you know who the target is can you understand him. This boy... is not simple."

"Why do you say that?"

"Just because we couldn't find him despite all our efforts, just because Xu Muyang dared to hand things over to a young man for safekeeping, just because he allowed Xu Muyang to take him away!" Gu Changqing answered, and he turned to Xu Ruogu : "Master Xu, you are Xu Muyang's eldest brother. In your opinion, Xu Muyang is a person who will hand over heavy treasures to people he is worried about?"

Xuruogu shook his head.

"Then after killing all the thieves, he takes a young man he rescued away with him, and even lives with him for half a year?"

Xuruogu still shook his head.

Cultivation of immortals travels throughout their lives, and when they are interested, they often do things to do justice for heaven. But if they save people and take them away, then they have to be followed by a master.

Allowing Xu Muyang to take him away, and even handing him a military report before his death, it can be seen that there is indeed something about this Tang Jie that Xu Muyang takes seriously.

Shi Wunian sighed: "No wonder we can't find this boy. We were deceived by his age after all."

If an ordinary young man is in trouble, he will inevitably show his flaws in panic. There is still a chance to find someone in Tianshen Palace. Now that the other party is well prepared and it is not his own territory, it will be really difficult.

Gu Changqing already smiled and said: "Actually, sometimes, being smart is also a good thing. When people are smart, they will have ambitions, and when they are ambitious, they will have goals. Since you can't find the other party, you might as well change your mind."

"What do you mean..."

"He has a weapon sword." Gu Changqing replied: "He must know the function of a weapon sword. Lord, what do you think a boy like this will do if he holds the key to unlocking the treasure?"

Shi Wunian's eyes have already lit up: "No need to ask, of course I want to find an opportunity to open the treasure."

"That's right!" He Chong clapped his hands: "As long as we send people to guard the formation, sooner or later, he will come to our door by himself!"

However, as soon as he said these words, Shi Wunian and Xu Ruogu looked at him with disdain at the same time, secretly scolding him for being brainless.

The Nine Jue Immortal Formation is an ancient formation. In addition to being proficient in the formation method, one must master the formation method, and one's own cultivation level is also very important to crack it. With Tang Jie's current ability, it is impossible to crack it even with a weapon guide.

If we really wait in front of the formation, we don’t know how many years we have to wait. Maybe a hundred years later, the young man will be turned into bones and unable to go to Chengtiandu Mountain. By then, the Bingjian will really be buried underground.

Gu Changqing already said: "So I want to ask Master Xu again, do you think it is possible for Xu Muyang to pass on the Xu family's cultivation method to that boy?"

"Absolutely impossible!" Xu Ruogu replied decisively: "The Xu family's cultivation method is only passed down to the bloodline, not to outsiders. This is the basis of the family's inheritance, and he cannot break it."

If Xu Muyang was a traitor to the Xu family, Xu Ruogu didn't dare to be so sure. But Xu Muyang still wanted to preserve the Xu family before he died, so he would never do such a thing.

"Does he have other ideas?"

"No." Xu Ruogu replied: "My third brother has been obsessed with formations all his life and does not understand the training methods of other sects. He Chong should be able to prove this."

He Chong nodded: "I have been fighting with him for two months, and Xu Muyang has exhausted all his methods. I have never seen him use any secret skills other than those of the Xu family. This should not be possible."

"That is to say, Tang Jie probably doesn't know any mental cultivation methods now, except..." Shi Wunian wanted to say the Hidden Image Sutra, but considering that Xu Ruo Valley was here, he suppressed it.

When Gu Changqing arrived, he said: "The Hidden Image Sutra is only a basic cultivation method, and there is no Lingtai realm cultivation method, so it should not be counted."

He Chong glared at him when he exposed the name of Zang Xiang Jing. Gu Changqing smiled and said: "Up to now, who can't guess what happened? It's just that we don't know the specific value and location of the treasure. , so I don’t know if it’s worth fighting for. The Hidden Image Sutra is a self-created technique by that great man. Its name is not obvious. Even if you spread it all over the world, no one knows what it is, so don’t worry about it. . Actually, no matter how you talk about it, if you can’t hide some things, then don’t hide it at all. Let’s just say that it is a treasure left by an Earth Immortal in the Immortal Stage. The location is in our Moqiu territory. To them, It’s also an explanation.”

Shi Wunian nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Not bad."

Since the leak of the news cannot be concealed, let’s devalue it.

Although the Immortal Realm is strong, the major sects still exist. A relic of the Immortal in the Immortal Realm is worth a trip to Shi Wunian, but it is not worth the efforts of the six major sects.

"But if we persist in pursuing him, they may not believe it." Xu Ruogu hesitated.

"So next, we have to petition the Lord to go back." Gu Changqing said: "May the Lord stay here, it will only escalate the situation and make Xiyue Sect pay attention. The previous arrival can be explained as the face of Tianshen Palace. If If you want to stay any longer, it means the stakes are high."

"What about the Bingjian?" He Chong frowned uneasily.

"Although the military warning is important, the person who took him was just a mortal boy. The real difficulty in this matter is to find the person, not to grab the thing. A target that can be easily dealt with by a strong man does not require the wish of the Lord and the two A real person stays here."

"It makes sense." Shi Wunian nodded: "In that case, we will go back to the Tianshen Palace tomorrow, Falcon, you stay here to continue the search. But what if you said that kid doesn't know how to practice?"

Gu Changqing replied: "If you want to open the Nine Jue Immortal Killing Formation, you must cultivate immortality. Since Tang Jie cannot obtain the Xu family's skills, and the Hidden Image Sutra is not enough to support his formal cultivation, then..."

Shi Wunian understood: "Xiyue Academy! He will definitely find a way to enter Xiyue Academy. No wonder he will go north!"

"Yes, as long as we send people to keep an eye on the academy, we can catch this kid sooner or later. This is much better than guarding him in the mountains." He Chong said excitedly.

"But Xiyue Academy is not easy to get into." Xu Ruogu said.

"Yes." Gu Changqing also sighed: "Fortunately, this kid doesn't seem stupid now. I just hope that he can be smarter, smart enough to pass through the many thresholds before cultivating immortality and enter the academy."

"Xiyue Academy only accepts young people under the age of sixteen. This year's opportunity has passed. He still has three years to work hard." Xu Ruogu said.

"Three years, we have to wait another three years." Shi Wunian and He Chong said helplessly.

Gu Changqing replied calmly: "For the ten thousand-year foundation of Tianshen Palace, there is no harm in waiting for a hundred years! Patience is the magic weapon for our success. Without patience, nothing can be accomplished. Besides, waiting at Xiyue Academy is better than waiting for a hundred years. It is much better to wait in front of the formation. Of course, the disciples will try their best to search for this person's whereabouts, but the clues are limited and there is little hope."

"That's the only way." Shi Wunian nodded and said: "Over there at the Nine Jue Formation, the Tianshen Palace will send people to guard it all year round. They must not give this kid a chance. As for other small sects, they also have to Defense."

"Yes!" Gu Changqing replied: "But I think he is most likely to choose Xiyue Academy. If a person with the Xuan Wenjian doesn't work hard to take the right path, it will be a waste of resources. In order to ensure the convenience of search, The disciple hopes to arrange for several of his subordinates to enter Xiyue Academy."

"This..." Shi Wunian frowned: "Xiyue Academy attaches great importance to the purity of one's wealth. The disciples of my Tianshen Palace here may not pass their inspection."

"No need." Gu Changqing replied: "In the name of Tianshen Palace, we will directly send people into the academy."

"How could they agree to this?"

"I will agree. What the Xiyue Sect is only worried about is the leakage of the secret method. What we want is people~IndoMTL.com~, not the secret method of the Xiyue Sect. We don’t need the purple jade heart method, and there is no need to go to the Shenxiao Sword Code. If you want to study, just choose the unimportant ones, and you can accept surveillance. If Xiyue Sect is willing, they can also send disciples to our Tianshen Palace Academy to study. They will be treated like guests. We will suffer a little loss and give them We should be able to achieve some good exchange conditions."

He Chong snorted secretly.

Gu Changqing's words sounded nice, but he was probably planning for himself. It seemed that he wanted to use the resources of Tianshen Palace to train capable subordinates for himself.

Learning superior Kung Fu is never easy. It requires not only extraordinary talent, but also meritorious service and loyalty. For most disciples, even ordinary Kung Fu can be obtained, let alone those god-level Kung Fu. , which is also enough to greatly improve their strength.

Furthermore, these people are learning the Xiyue Sect's exercises. Even if they are not powerful exercises, they will definitely have their own unique value in returning to Tianshen Palace in the future. From now on, they will not have to worry about their status, and they will not have to worry about resources. It will not come true in the future. Sir, it is most likely that the real person will do it. These people were all nominated by Gu Changqing, and they are grateful to him. Gu Changqing's status in the future goes without saying, and he has good intentions.

However, Gu Changqing’s plans were so intertwined that there was no reason why Tianshen Palace wouldn’t agree to them.

But all of this is based on Gu Changqing getting back the military drill. If he can't get it back... Hehe, He Chong sneered in his heart, then you will have to vomit out everything you eat!

He and Gu Changqing have no old grudges, but he chased Xu Muyang and his status in the Tianshen Palace dropped. Therefore, people who perform well will naturally have various psychological imbalances and wish for the other party to fail.

"It makes sense!" Shi Wunian stood up and said, "I will report this matter to the palace master when I go back. From now on, you will be responsible for everything here!"

"Yes, this disciple will never return to the palace without getting back the military sword!" Gu Changqing was overjoyed and prostrated.
