The Immortal Spiritual Picture

Fortunately, the Donggu Dynasty now collects a lot of taxes every year, otherwise it would not be able to provide the salaries of so many high-level monks.

Since the Gu family's headquarters moved away from the Beigu Mountains, there seem to be fewer Gu family monks walking outside than before. But if you think about it carefully, monks still have to practice at home most of the time. Unless they encounter some bottleneck or have any special needs, it is normal to disappear for more than a hundred years.

This is also why many high-level casual cultivators have died for a long time before friends feel something is wrong and go looking for them. In this case, it is usually considered lucky to find half a corpse. After all, monks above the Transformation God every few years It is necessary to go through a small catastrophe. If you can't survive it, it is common for a catastrophe to split the soul and burn the corpse directly into ashes.

If the casual cultivator has a Taoist companion or a disciple, it is more likely that he will be buried promptly after death;

But if you are a sect or a family monk, they usually have soul lamps lit in the ancestral hall. If you die, the disciples on duty will find out immediately, and then naturally notify other relatives or disciples to collect the body and take care of the funeral.

Even if there is no body left after death, there can always be a memorial tablet or a tomb for relatives and friends to pay their respects.

If you are a monk with a higher level of cultivation or a monk who has made a significant contribution to the family sect, you may be able to enjoy the incense after death until the power is destroyed.

But there are also many monks who don't care about what happens after death.

For the immortal cultivators who can control the wind and rain when they are alive, if they die, everything will be in vain. No matter how grand they are after death, they can't bring people back to life, so what's the point?

It's just to give some comfort to the living.

But for families and sects, remembering their predecessors is essential and increases cohesion.

Therefore, even today's Gu family, the ancestral hall is still filled with incense all day long.

On this day, it was rare for Gu Changcheng and his family of three to gather together to pay homage to their ancestors and their deceased relatives and elders.

Gu Qingyi held the incense candle and stood behind his parents, watching them offer incense to their ancestors and then bow to worship.

She looked at the many tablets and the names on them, and the sadness in her heart was like a thin morning mist. Although it was light, it would soon dissipate after stepping out of the ancestral hall;

In contrast, the sadness in the eyes of Gu Changcheng and Gu Changyue was even stronger.

In my impression, there were not many elders who died around Gu Changcheng, because the Gu family was not prosperous in the past. It was not until the eldest generation that the number of Gu family monks began to slowly increase. Later, they, the eldest generation, Taking advantage of the east wind of the war, under the leadership of Chang Huan, the monks' cultivation speed has increased rapidly, and the Gu family's territory has become larger day by day.

Until now, the Gu family has become a Mahayana force and controls a territory that was unimaginable before.

However, war is always accompanied by sacrifices, and even high-level monks cannot completely avoid death. Fortunately, most of their relatives and friends are always around, so that the road to immortality will not become boring and lonely.

Because he ascended to the spiritual world relatively late, Gu Changcheng's cultivation level is slightly lower than that of Gu Changde and others by several small realms, but he is now a third-level monk.

Gu Changyue had just broken through to the third level of integration. Her qualifications were not as good as Gu Changcheng's at the beginning, but fortunately she was born at a good time and enjoyed many benefits. Later, she took several refined medicines that could improve the results of Yi Jing marrow cleansing. The qualifications for elixirs and spiritual objects are now considered to be excellent.

As for their daughter Gu Qingyi, she has a water-attributed heavenly spirit root, and her aptitude is better than most people. She is also very talented in drawing spiritual talismans. So far, no one has worried about her.

After Gu Qingyi ascended to the spirit world with Gu Changhuan, she experienced several wars. She has been honing her skills on the battlefield for a long time. She no longer had the habit of making eyes red and crying when she was emotional. Not long ago, she had successfully advanced to merge and stabilized her realm. When the family reunited and celebrated after leaving the customs, Gu Changcheng thought about paying homage to his ancestors and old friends, which led to the current scene.

The incense candles burning in the Gu family ancestral hall have a calming effect, and the sadness seems to be soothed a lot when you breathe in it.

On the way home after leaving the ancestral hall, Gu Qingyi counted on her fingers:

"It's been about eight hundred years since I ascended to the spiritual world with Uncle Seventeen, right?

Time flies so fast. "

Gu Changcheng and Gu Changyue couldn't help but nod. Gu Qingyi has already reached the integration stage, so how can he not be happy?

Gu Qingyi said, not knowing what he thought of and feeling a little sad,

“I just don’t know how long I will stay in the Land of Soul Destruction.

I read in the jade slips that it is recorded that the human race has a vast territory, more than ten times that of the Land of Spiritual Destruction, but it is a pity that it cannot be fully seen until now. "

Logically speaking, no matter which ethnic group they are in, the combined monks can go sideways and go wherever they want. As long as they don't provoke those high-level monks related to Mahayana forces, naturally no one will care about them.

Even if you are braver, you can travel to other races.

In comparison, the area of ​​the Land of Spiritual Destruction is not small, but if the combined monks were allowed to stay there for hundreds of years, they would feel small and stuffy.

Gu Changcheng and the other two looked at each other after hearing this.

They are somewhat aware of Gu Changhuan's plan. The reason they are currently trapped in the Land of Spiritual Destruction is just to give the Donggu Dynasty a stable period of development. When the time comes to stay in the Land of Spiritual Destruction, the Gu family and the Donggu Dynasty will not be able to continue to develop. After being trapped, Gu Changhuan will definitely break the shackles above his head and lead the entire Donggu Dynasty and the Gu family to continue to develop.

However, due to various reasons, Gu Changhuan has not made his plan public yet. He only heard Gu Changhuan and Chang Yu talk about it accidentally when everyone gathered.

Gu Changcheng can also understand Gu Changhuan's plan. After all, even in the spirit world, there are still struggles. Since he ascended to the spirit world, in addition to the monks of the Gu family, he has also met and befriended several local fusion monks in the spirit world. From what they said It seems that the several Mahayana forces of the human race are not united, they just care about the great justice of the human race and do not fight each other;

Under such circumstances, if the Gu family showed up rashly without making sufficient preparations, it would be extremely detrimental to the Gu family if any Mahayana force wanted to secretly suppress the Gu family.

While Gu Changcheng was thinking, Gu Changyue had already changed the subject.

“We still have a long time, where can we go in the future?

Now that you have comforted your ancestors about your advanced integration, it is time to inform other relatives and friends. "

Gu Changcheng nodded,

"It will also make them happy."

Although it is not unusual for the Gu family to have monks who have advanced to merge, but Gu Qingyi is one of the few biological children among these eldest monks. She grew up watching others, so she is naturally a little different.
