The female nun just wants to live forever

Chapter 2 There is a fairy here
No one came to see her off.

Gu Nian didn't seem to care that much. She leaned against the car window and fell asleep with her eyes squinted. Suddenly, in a daze, the car curtain was opened, and she woke up suddenly.

An old Taoist dressed in a green Taoist robe and a spotless Taoist priest walked in. The old Taoist has a straight face, a serious smile, and his skin is slightly yellow.

The old Taoist seems to have been dusty, but there is a vague elegance in his movements. In addition, he has a vigorous demeanor and graceful steps, which invisibly exudes the demeanor of an expert.

"Are you Gu Nian?"

The old Taoist asked with a full voice, and Gu Nian said "hmm".

"Neither arrogant nor impetuous, with a calm personality. He is a good young man, but it's a pity that he is born as a girl." The old Taoist said calmly.

Hearing this, Gu Nian was silent.

Even though the other party's words were uncomfortable, there was no refutation. She was weak and couldn't cultivate martial arts, so she couldn't blame others.

Gu Nian bowed his hands and said, "Ask me sir."

"Your father called me Master. In terms of seniority, he should call me Master." The old Taoist shook his head again: "But the Taiyue Clan doesn't like this, so just call me Elder Wang."

"I've met Elder Wang."

"Well, let's do it." Elder Wang nodded and said to the horseman driving the carriage.

The carriage drove slowly towards the outside of the city. It was no more than nine o'clock in the morning, and the streets were empty and quiet, as if they were abandoned. There was a mist, and low wooden houses were looming.

She has lived here for ten years, never leaving home, and is very familiar with it all. The gatekeepers of the teahouses and inns on both sides were tightly closed, and the stalls and alleys were deserted.

After leaving Qinghe County, the road became bumpy.

There was a brief silence in the carriage. Elder Wang put the Buddha dust in his hand on his wrist and sat with his eyes closed. Gu Nian also leaned against the window and looked at the retreating scenery outside the window.

After leaving the city, the view suddenly broadened, and the mountains stretching in the distance were dotted with greenery, which was quite pleasant.

The sky in July is clear even in the early morning. Not long after, red clouds appear on the mountains. The air enters the chest smoothly, and the breath is filled with residual warmth.

Along the way, Elder Wang talked about the past events of Taiyue Sect, which gave her a general understanding of Taiyue Sect.

Martial arts are extremely popular in this world.

Taiyuemen originated from the troubled times. At that time, the imperial power of Lu State was in turmoil, which led to wars and banditry in various places under its rule, and many people were displaced.

Some martial arts masters couldn't bear it and set up a force in Taiyue Mountain to wipe out the bandits who were causing harm to the people around them. They took in the refugees and passed down the martial arts in order to protect themselves.

Later, the power gradually expanded, and today's Taiyue Sect emerged.

Later, Emperor Wu successfully stood out among many princes and ascended the throne. He relied on extremely powerful means to suppress all parties and killed many people who caused trouble in the imperial court. Only then did the troubled times come to an end.

Since then, the world has been at peace, and the Taiyue Sect cannot escape from the world.

But although the troubled times are over, there are still many people who do not want to escape the world and want to rely on their martial arts to achieve great achievements, so they come down to become officials one after another, which also leads to the sparse number of people in the Taiyue Sect.

In order to prevent the Taiyue Sect from being completely lonely, the leader established sect rules to restrain the disciples and elders under his sect.

One of them is: break into the world, and the heirs are the pledge.

To go down the mountain, you need to break through the formation. Only by passing through the formation can you be qualified to leave Taiyue Gate. After entering the world, the descendants of future generations need to be handed over to one person from the Taiyue Clan.

It is extremely difficult to break into the formation. Many disciples have tried to break into the formation over the years, but without exception, all of them have become ghosts in the formation. In recent decades, only a dozen people have successfully broken into the formation, and Gu Cong is one of them.

Of course, there is more than one Jianghu sect like Taiyue Sect. There are six sects in Nanzhou alone, which together with Taiyue Sect are called the "Seven Heroes of Nanzhou".

However, because the Taiyue Sect cannot escape from the world, its strength is inferior to that of the other six sects. In order to ensure the continuation of the sect, the elders of the sect began to search for disciples who had joined the world and brought their heirs back to the sect. Elder Wang seemed to talk a lot, and Gu Nian mostly just listened.

The carriage swayed for a day and finally arrived at a post station.

At this time, the hot fireball rolled down behind the Western Mountain, reflecting the last afterglow. There were faint clouds floating on the edge of the mountain, and the blue and fiery red colors echoed each other in the sky, blending perfectly.

In the inn, Gu Nian was eating a somewhat rough meal at the same table as Elder Wang. After a day's journey, she was indeed a little hungry, and the food in her mouth seemed more appetizing.

"Do you miss home?"

While Gu Nian was eating, Elder Wang asked a question out of the blue. She subconsciously wanted to shake her head, but felt something was wrong. She was stunned for a while and said:
"Maybe."

"You doll, you are quite interesting."

Elder Wang smiled and continued: "It's inevitable to miss home, but it's understandable. If you make achievements in the sect in the future and achieve success in your studies, you can go home and visit."

"Thank you, Elder Wang."

"No need to thank me."

Elder Wang seemed to remember something again and sighed: "Your father grew up in the sect since he was a child. He has excellent bones and is actually a martial arts wizard. If he had been still in the sect all these years, I am afraid his status would have surpassed mine. It is a pity that all kinds of The reason is that he had to leave, and his martial arts skills have stopped at the second level, and there is no hope of reaching the peak of martial arts."

Having said this, he paused for a moment.

"Taiyue Sect, as a martial arts sect, has gradually become secluded from the world over the years, leading to a sparse population. In order to develop, there are still rules in the sect. People like your father who leave Taiyue Sect must be included in the heirs of future generations. One person is handed over to the sect.”

"The reason why I came down the mountain this time is for the mission in the door. After all, I was the one who tried to protect your father from leaving. There are some things that require my personal intervention."

"However, I originally intended to ask your father to go back with me, but unfortunately your father values ​​​​the world's powerful people too much and refuses to accompany me. I asked your brother Gu Wu to go back with me. In the end, your father asked you to go back with me. Mountain."

Elder Wang sighed slightly.

"Have you ever hated your father?" Elder Wang asked again inexplicably.

"Why did Elder Wang ask that?" Gu Nian didn't react for a moment.

Elder Wang stroked his beard: "After all, the Gu family is the largest family in Qinghe County. They are powerful in Qinghe County and enjoy endless wealth and glory. It is understandable that he wants his descendants to live a comfortable life. Unfortunately, this is his mistake. I thought Taiyue Sect was just the martial arts sect it once was."

Gu Nian listened silently. She understood the meaning of the other party's words, but she was a little confused: "Elder Wang, please make it clear."

Elder Wang looked around and suddenly lowered his voice: "The Taiyue Sect is no longer the martial arts sect it used to be, but an immortal sect!"

Gu Nian's eyes widened.

I saw him sneer: "I came down the mountain this time to give your father a blessing, but it's a pity that he is greedy for that little power and is unwilling to come back to the mountain with me."

"What good things do ordinary people and powerful people have? How can they be compared with the immortality of being a Taoist? It's really ridiculous!"

Gu Nian's heart slowed down for a beat.

If someone had told her before that there were immortals in the world, she would naturally not believe it, because she had never seen an immortal in the ten years she had been living in Qinghe County.

But now that she heard what Elder Wang said, she actually believed it a little bit.

She originally thought she would go to the Taiyue Sect for this purpose, just like in movies and TV shows, a martial arts sect that fights and kills, but she didn't expect that it turned out to be a cultivator.

She looked into the distance and looked at the mountains in the distance, thinking to herself: "It seems that this martial world is about to overturn my understanding!"
