Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 568 Another “unfortunate genius”

Then, without any further delay, Gu Xu ordered Luo Chuan to send Chen Yanping to Hedong for mining.

When Chen Yanping walked out of the hall, he felt that his legs were weak and his knees were shaking.

When he arrived, he was full of energy and ambition, and he had already imagined in his mind a picture of harmony between the emperor and his ministers, working together to achieve great things - just like the Emperor Taizu of Da Qi met the ancestors of the Chen family, like a fish getting water.

When he left, he was disgraced and embarrassed.

But even so, he felt sincerely grateful, and even felt that the emperor was such a kind man that he could save his life from the edge of hell.

"Chen Yanping." When he was about to pass through the space passage, Luo Chuan next to him called his name.

"Chief Commander... No, what are your orders, Sir Luo?" Chen Yanping turned his head and showed a respectful and almost flattering expression.

"You must keep what the emperor said today firmly in your heart." Luo Chuan said in a serious tone, "You must repay the kindness the emperor has given you with practical actions."

"The villain understands."

…………

Inside the Yichun Palace.

Gu Xu turned his head and his eyes fell on Chen Suhui, who had remained silent.

When Gu Xu sent her brother to mine just now, the slender girl with a sick face kept her head lowered, with no emotion in her eyes, as if she was indifferent to her brother's fate.

Gu Xu looked at her pretty, bloodless face, as if he saw the frail version of himself in the past.

"Are you feeling physically ill?"

"Yes, Emperor," Chen Suhui's voice was cold and indifferent, without the slightest trace of sadness or pity, "My father said that I have a strong affinity for the evil spirit, and my cultivation efficiency is far higher than that of ordinary people. This also means that the evil spirit The evil spirit will cause harm to my body several times that of ordinary people."

"Has your father ever tried to help you with this?"

"He once helped me find many rare elixirs, let me try some secret techniques with the flaming sun attribute, and even invited Master Wang to draw a few talismans for me that could dispel the evil atmosphere. But these All methods can only provide temporary relief and cannot completely solve my problem. As long as I live in this world, the evil spirit will continue to accumulate in my meridians and bones until I become a corpse."

When talking about her own death, the girl did not shy away from it, and her attitude was direct and calm.

With the help of the astrolabe and the Way of Destiny, Gu Xu was able to roughly judge that Chen Suhui's lifespan was less than ten years - if she continued to practice and incorporated the evil spirit into her body, this time would become even shorter.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of the approaching death that the girl has an indifferent and calm attitude towards the things around her and her own destiny. She seemed to be ready to say goodbye to this world and meet the inevitable ending.

Gu Xu once again thought of himself who had been tortured by the "unfortunate genius" in the past.

He is also pursued day and night by Death.

However, he still has a glimmer of hope - if he can become a strong saint before the age of thirty, then he can reshape his body and rewrite his destiny.

Therefore, it was as if he had grasped a life-saving straw and practiced hard with a positive and optimistic attitude and an unimaginable diligence.

But Chen Suhui is different.

Fate sentenced her to death, leaving her no chance of survival.

The more diligently she practices, the more serious the Yin Qi will corrode her, and the faster she will die.

Although the head of the Chen family showed great affection for his daughter on the surface, deep down in his heart, he still regarded her as a bargaining chip of the family. Perhaps it was because of her short life that he considered using her to recruit a son-in-law - exchanging a short-lived daughter for a world-famous weapon would undoubtedly be a huge gain for him. And now, he asked Chen Suhui to come to Daxia to join Gu Xu, perhaps because he wanted to arouse Gu Xu's empathy - since Gu Xu showed his talents in Luo Jing, many people have secretly investigated him, and his body The problem is no longer a secret among the upper circles of Daqi.

"No," Gu Xu suddenly frowned, as if he remembered something, "It's not that there is no life..."

"Emperor?" Chen Suhui asked with some confusion when she saw that Gu Xu had been silent for a long time and then started talking to himself inexplicably.

As if to confirm his thoughts, Gu Xu stared at her seriously for a while, and then slowly said:

"You are the 'fairy body'.

"It's not that there's something wrong with your body, it's that you were born in the wrong world."

"The body of a fairy?" Chen Suhui frowned slightly. This is undoubtedly an extremely unfamiliar word to her.

However, Gu Xu's next words were like thunder, making her heart, which had long been indifferent to everything, unable to calm down for a long time.

"Tai Shang Haotian has this kind of physique."

…………

In the next period of time, Gu Xu briefly explained to Chen Suhui what the "fairy body" was.

He first introduced that the human race in the wilderness actually came from the upper world and relied on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice.

However, after Emperor Ziwei was defeated by Taishang Haotian, his followers were imprisoned in the "Great Wilderness", a prison with only Yin evil energy and no spiritual energy from heaven and earth. They could only temper the Yin energy and risk their lives. Dangerous practice.

Chen Suhui also heard this story not long ago.

But her father Chen Shandao once believed that this was just a statement Gu Xu made up for rebellion and to promote his legitimacy.

"The Immortal Spirit Body is the most suitable physique for cultivation among the human races in the upper world," Gu Xu continued to explain. "It is favored by the Great Dao since birth and is in harmony with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth - when other people need to work hard to practice skills, they will When the spiritual energy is absorbed into the body, the immortal body only needs to lie still, and the spiritual energy will naturally enter his meridians."

While speaking, Gu Xu couldn't help but have memories of Emperor Ziwei's past emerging in his mind——

Before Taishang Haotian and Emperor Ziwei broke up, the two of them would often practice in seclusion together and talk about scriptures and Taoism. Taishang Haotian possesses a "fairy body", practices very fast, and makes rapid progress every day, making Emperor Ziwei secretly envious.

Compared with Taishang Haotian, a lucky person who is rewarded by heaven and earth, Zi Wei can only be regarded as a mortal body, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth does not favor him at all. Except that his understanding is slightly stronger than ordinary people, he has no advantages in practice.

Because of this, for a long time, his cultivation has been far behind Taishang Haotian.

Until one day, when he looked up at the stars, he suddenly understood the destiny of the stars.

Before him, there was no theory of destiny in the world.

After him, all sentient beings watch their fate with the stars in the sky.

As the founder of the fate system, he defined himself as "Zi Wei" - the leader of stars, the master of numbers, and the pivot of heaven and earth.

"Since God doesn't treat me well, then I will carve out a new sky for myself."

That year, Zi Wei put her hands behind her back, looked at the vast sky with high spirits, and said so.
