Cultivating Immortals From Prison

Chapter 218 The Monk
After recovering from his injuries, Gu Shen was going to continue to comprehend "Taibai Sword". This time, after colliding with the aura arrow condensed from the jade talisman, Gu Shen realized that there was still a gap between himself and the monks of the Nascent Soul Stage. At most, his current combat power has only touched the threshold of Nascent Soul Stage monks, which can be said to be comparable, but compared to only the weakest category of Nascent Soul Stage monks.

In fact, many monks have been able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, and they have a lot of training resources in their hands, and they do not lack powerful spiritual skills. With the blessing of spiritual skills, the combat power of these monks has also been greatly improved.

If he were to fight to the death with the monks on the first floor of Yuanying, the probability of Gu Shen's defeat would be greater than his survival.

But before Gu Shen started to comprehend "Taibai Sword", he noticed a friend coming, he smiled softly, got off the bed, walked out of the room, and came to the gate of the courtyard.

dong dong dong.

The courtyard door was knocked.

Gu Shen opened the courtyard door from the inside, and standing outside was a middle-aged man with a bit of bookishness, it was Lu Yuanming.

Lao Lu didn't pay attention to maintenance, and with age, his skin was no longer as white, smooth and firm as when he was young. He grew a beard, his skin became much duller, his hair was not as shiny as when he was young, and his whole person looked much calmer .

"Old Lu, here we come."

"Well, they came from the wild ridge thirty miles outside Qixia Gate."

"I know."

Gu Shen said with a smile.

When fighting Ren Lieyang earlier, Gu Shen's spiritual sense detected that Lu Yuanming was riding a horse from Qixia Gate and galloping towards him.

It's just that compared with the monk who can fly in the air, Lu Yuanming who came on horseback is indeed a lot slower in speed.

Lu Yuanming put his hand on Gu Shen's shoulder, then patted his arms lightly, and asked, "Are you injured?"

Gu Shen smiled and shook his head, "No."

Lu Yuanming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and the two came to sit down at the stone table under the plane tree. Gu Xiao was meditating in the south wing and practicing hard. Zheng Lin brought a teapot and poured tea for them.

Lu Yuanming thanked him, picked up the tea and took a sip, then put down the teacup, and said with emotion: "Old Gu, you hide so deeply!"

"Old Lu, why did you say that?"

"You are obviously a powerful person with profound cultivation, even the master of Biyun Sect was easily beheaded by you, but you hide in the market, concealing your true strength."

When Lu Yuanming mentioned that Gu Shen beheaded Lie Yang, the director of the Biyun Sect, he couldn't help being shocked, as if in a dream, his best friend actually killed such a legendary and powerful figure, and he usually didn't show his strength Without dew, the first shot is a shocking event.

Because Biyunzong forced the Yinguo court to move the capital, some important officials in the court were troubled by it. Lu Yuanming was also worried and couldn't sleep all night. It seemed that there was no other way except compromise. The Yinguo court and Biyunzong In comparison, it is no different from the difference between an egg and a stone.

It's just that now, the dark clouds hanging over the court of the Yin Kingdom have been dispersed, and the sun shines down again, and it is the person in front of him who makes the sun shine again.

Gu Shen laughed and said, "I've never hidden anything, but you haven't asked either."

Lu Yuanming shook his head.

After a pause, Lu Yuanming continued: "Old Gu, your attack will definitely alarm many people, and you will probably be troublesome in the future."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "Then I will give them an impression that they don't like to be disturbed. Whoever disturbs me again has to weigh it."

Lu Yuanming nodded, recalling the situation of the people along the way, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The gap between monks and mortals is like a natural barrier. Although the distance between the monks and ordinary people is tens of miles, it still has a serious impact on the people in the capital. A house collapsed, and there were many casualties, alas, in the fighting between powerful monks, it was ordinary people who suffered the most in the end, this is a troubled world.”

Lu Yuanming had little contact with the fights between monks, and he didn't know much about them, but Gu Shen knew that the aftermath of those powerful monks' fights, the aftermath of magic power overflowed, causing countless people in many countries to be reduced to dust.

However, Lu Yuanming is indeed a person who cares about the common people. Isn't that why he wanted to be an official?

Gu Shen thought for a while, and said: "Old Lu, go and help me tell Emperor Chongning that the suffering of the people is caused by me, and ask him to build new and strong houses for the people who have suffered losses, and let him die. , Injured people with care and condolences."

Gu Shen knew very well that the Yin country court had squeezed too much people's fat and cream over the years, and now it's time to use it on the people.

Gu Shen was not relentless or pitiful at blackmailing the black-hearted Yin country court.

Gu Shen's words were intended to threaten the court and the emperor, but they were not as arrogant, direct, and open-mouthed as Biyunzong.If it fell into the ears of other important officials of the court, he would definitely feel a little uncomfortable, but Lu Yuanming was different. In fact, he himself did not have much sense of identity with the court. He cared more about the people. Hearing that Gu Shen wanted to benefit the people, He couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, wishing that Lao Gu would continue to blackmail the court, so that the court would do more good deeds for the people.

The two chatted for a while, then Lu Yuanming got up to say goodbye, now that a large number of people in the capital are suffering, he really couldn't sit still, his heart was heavy, now he got word from Gu Shen, he wanted to rush to the palace to plead for the people.

Gu Shen sent Lu Yuanming to the gate of the courtyard, watched Lu Yuanming get on his horse and walk away, then turned his gaze to the handsome monk under the peach tree on the bank of the stream.

"Amitabha."

The unnamed monk has a warm smile on his face, which makes people feel at ease at a glance.

Gu Shen nodded slightly, and then closed the courtyard door, he always felt that this monk was not simple.

After Lu Yuanming left, Gu Shen helped Senior Sister Zheng to clean and collect the tea sets under the sycamore tree in the courtyard, and then went to the South Wing to check on Gu Xiao's practice. up.

Back in the room, Gu Shen sat cross-legged on the bed.

Today's martial arts matter is not very touching to him.

Although Ren Lieyang is a well-known Jindan Stage strongman, in Gu Shen's eyes, he is not regarded as a big enemy, just a whetstone, not even a qualified whetstone, because he can't use it Gu Shen went all out.

Even at the end, when Ren Lieyang sacrificed the jade talisman, he unleashed a terrifying blow comparable to the full strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator, causing Gu Shen to be slightly injured, but that was all.

Even after the fall of Ren Lieyang, Gu Shen absorbed the yin energy from his corpse, which only increased the mana in his golden core. He had just broken through to the seventh level of the golden core, and the yin energy needed to break through to the eighth level of the golden core A lot, not a Jindan second-tier Ren Lieyang can supply enough, if it is a Nascent Soul stage monk, it would be more or less the same.

After thinking for a while, Gu Shen began to concentrate and comprehend "Taibai Sword".

This time against Ren Lieyang, Gu Shen also gained something. At the last moment, the aura arrow that was comparable to the blow of a Nascent Soul cultivator really reminded Gu Shen that he was still a little arrogant before, thinking that The combat power is comparable to that of the Nascent Soul stage, but in fact there is still some gap. If you fight against a Nascent Soul stage monk, you may be able to save your life, but the possibility of winning is very small.

There is no rush to improve the level. Now it is not like when the level was low in the past, the level is raised quickly. Now that the level is high, the speed of wanting to improve is greatly slowed down. Now it is better to comprehend "Taibai Sword" to the stage of perfection.

The state slowly emptied, and a sword appeared in his mind, the sword's aura was overwhelming, and the cold light shone for hundreds of thousands of miles.

Gu Shen has comprehended "Taibai Sword" to a very deep level, and has come a long way on the road to Dacheng, just give him some time, it is not difficult to comprehend "Taibai Sword" to the stage of perfection.

Solving the trouble of Biyunzong did not let Gu Shen heave a sigh of relief, because the strongest of Biyunzong is only Ren Lieyang, the second-level Jindan, which is nothing. The reason why Gu Shen is eager to improve his strength as soon as possible , there is an enemy hidden in the dark, the other party should be the same as Bai Wuchang who died in the ruins of Caomiao Village, and according to the red vertical eye, the enemy in the dark this time is stronger than that Bai Wuchang It was even more terrifying, but Gu Shen didn't know why the other party didn't seek revenge on him.

The matter of this person has always been in Gu Shen's heart like a big rock.

The sky is getting late, and the darkness is shrouded in darkness.

Zheng Lin lit the candles in each house in the courtyard, and the dim yellow oil lamps burned, making some slight crackling sounds.

dong dong dong.

The courtyard door suddenly sounded.

Zheng Lin walked out of the kitchen, untied the apron on her body, came to the gate of the courtyard, and asked, "Who is it?"

During the day, he had just experienced a dangerous situation, and his younger brother beheaded the head of the Biyun Sect, there was no guarantee that no disciples of the Biyun Sect would come to take revenge, so Zheng Lin was very cautious.

"Benefactor Zheng, it's a poor monk named Wuming."

Outside the courtyard door, there was a warm voice, not in a hurry, with a soft tone.

Zheng Lin could tell that it was the monk neighbor who just moved in. She was dissatisfied with this monk because he persuaded Gu Shen to convert to Buddhism, but after getting in touch with him more, although he seldom spoke, this monk is really not bad , speaking in a soft voice, it is easy to make people feel good, so gradually, Zheng Lin didn't like the nameless monk as much as she did at the beginning.

Zheng Lin reached out and pushed the latch inside the courtyard door, and then opened the courtyard door.

Outside the courtyard gate, the unnamed monk was wearing a moon-white monk's robe, with a string of black Buddhist beads the size of a baby's fist hanging around his neck. His smooth scalp was the same color as his monk's robe under the moonlight. It's a pity for a character who became a monk to become a monk.

"Master, is there something wrong?" Zheng Lin asked.

The unknown monk put his palms together in front of his chest, and said: "The poor monk came late at night to bother Master Gu, and asked Master Zheng to pass it on for him."

This was the first time the unnamed monk came to visit in many days, Zheng Lin didn't think much about it, so she asked the unnamed monk to wait a while, then turned around and went back to the main room, went to Gu Shen's room, to see if Gu Shen would like to see her.

After a while, Gu Shen and Zheng Lin walked out of the main room together.

"Benefactor Gu."

"Master, please."

Gu Shen came to the courtyard gate, looked at the unknown monk outside the courtyard gate, and welcomed him in.

The two walked into the main room side by side and sat at the Eight Immortals table. Zheng Lin turned to make tea.

And when Zheng Lin made tea and came back with the tea, she happened to hear the words of the unknown monk, "The almsgiver is divinely wise and has a deep Buddha's heart. It is better to worship Buddhism, practice the supreme Dharma, educate the world, and reach bliss early."

Just now, Gu Shen talked with the unknown monk and talked about some Buddhist issues. Gu Shen didn’t know much about Buddhism, he had only read a few Buddhist scriptures, but now his understanding is too strong. The ordinary people in the Buddhist scriptures can actually gain something from the unnamed monk in the aspect of telling the Dharma, which shocked the unnamed monk, and he couldn't help expressing again that he hoped that Gu Shen would become a monk.

boom!
Zheng Lin placed a cup of tea heavily in front of the unknown monk, and now she felt angry, and began to dislike this monk anyway.

"My junior brother is talented and skilled in everything. He is not interested in your Dharma." Zheng Lin looked at the unknown monk and said.

The unknown monk put his palms together, said "Amitabha", then picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, nodded with a smile, and praised in a soft voice, "good tea."

After saying that, the unknown monk turned his eyes to Gu Shen who was facing him, and said, "Benefactor Gu, I hope you can think about what I said, you have the heart of Buddha, if you enter the Buddhist gate, your future will be limitless. "

After the nameless monk finished speaking, he smiled and nodded slightly to Zheng Lin who was standing in front of the table with a somewhat unsightly expression, then stood up and said goodbye.

Gu Shen persuaded the unnamed monk again, but the monk excused himself to be tired and was going to go back to rest, so Gu Shen didn't continue to detain him, and together with Zheng Lin sent the unnamed monk outside the courtyard, and then turned back.

"Junior brother, this monk doesn't look like a good person, don't listen to his nonsense."

In the courtyard, Zheng Lin said to Gu Shen.

"Nonsense?" Gu Shen raised his eyebrows, and said: "I think he also has a deep understanding of Buddhist scriptures, and his words and conversations are not vulgar. What is the senior sister referring to?"

Zheng Lin paused for a moment, lowered her voice, and said, "He is the one who asked you to do the work of a monk."

Hearing this, Gu Shen laughed, and Zheng Lin, who was smiling straight away, blushed, gave Gu Shen a hard look, and then walked into the kitchen with an angry look.

Lu House.

In a hall, carved beams and painted buildings, antique, a dignified and beautiful woman with extraordinary manners sat on a chair, with a rather unhappy expression on her face.

"Princess, Steward Liu of the Wangfu has been here eighteen times since this afternoon, and the master has not come back yet. Butler Liu said that he will not be invited back. The prince should come in person."

A servant girl looked a little anxious, and said to Zhao Jianjia, the owner of Mingyue County, who was sitting on the chair.

Princess Mingyue frowned and said: "Send someone to urge the master again, is it more important to build houses for those refugees and measure the land than to meet my father? And what's the matter with my father? Why does he value our family so much? The Continuity School People have invited you eighteen times?"

"Yes." The servant girl bent down to accept the order, and then walked out of the hall quickly.
