Chapter 22 Chapter 22 We can’t lose face for the Hehuan Sect! …
Jiang Yan didn't know what the so-called 69 position was.
He was just guessing.
I used the numbers given by my senior brother and then applied the "Xth Style" template of the sword moves to come up with the answer by guessing.
Seeing that his master and his fellow brothers and sisters all breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Yan hesitated to speak.
...Is there something wrong with this Hehuan Sect?
Jiang Yan once again suspected that he had boarded a pirate ship without knowing it.
Master Hehuan did not mention this matter again.
It is also possible that he wanted to deceive himself for a while and did not dare to bring it up again.
“It doesn’t matter if you know little or have no practical experience.”
He Huan Zhenren comforted him, "Your reputation is yours, and your kingdom is yours. If anyone dares to question you, just keep looking at him, staring at him intently, without saying a word, and he will automatically give in and surrender."
Yan Yushan and Fan Yang nodded vigorously, expressing their agreement.
Jiang Yan: “…Oh.”
It turns out that appearance has such an effect.
"I have already informed the sect that the disciple-recruiting ceremony is being prepared. Your uncles and aunts are all waiting to see you."
He Huan Zhenren said: "I haven't accepted a disciple for a long time, and I don't like to take care of trivial matters. If I wasn't excited, I wouldn't accept a disciple. Yan'er, you will be my last disciple. There are not many rules, only three points."
Jiang Yan sat upright and listened attentively.
"Master, please speak."
He Huan Zhenren said sternly: "First, fellow disciples must love and help each other. They must not betray each other or hurt others behind their backs. Those who violate this will be killed."
"Second, although we practice the Way of Hehuan, we must respect ourselves. Dual cultivation and being a furnace are two different things, so we must never do such lowly things as 'actively becoming someone else's furnace'. Those who violate this will be expelled from the group. If what they do harms the sect, they will be killed."
"Third - this is a rule set by our forefather - in order to maintain the reputation of our school and to ensure that the disciples learn something and not just talk about it, the ancestral precepts state that in order to graduate, one must have found at least one partner and successfully practiced dual cultivation once."
"Yan'er, do you know?"
Jiang Yan suppressed his doubts, stood up from the mat, bowed solemnly, and said, "I will keep this in mind."
Master Hehuan smiled and used his spiritual power to help him up.
"Okay! Just remember it, get up quickly."
"Because of the skills we practice, we are often remembered by others. Some people even degenerate and do such shameful things. Don't be afraid of what you heard. You are young, inexperienced, and simple-minded. If someone deceives or bullies you, just ask the elders to support you."
He Huan Zhenren said proudly, "I am the most protective person in the entire sect!"
Jiang Yan felt a little warm in his heart and responded gratefully, "Yes, Master."
The blue sky outside the window is as beautiful as a painting, and the weather is sunny. The four people in the room are in harmony, their attitudes are intimate and natural, and the atmosphere is gradually getting better.
When Master He Huan saw Jiang Yan slowly relax, he asked kindly, "I see you look worried, but what are you wondering about?"
I wanted to ask later, but since Master has spoken first...
Jiang Yan nodded and said, "Master, please understand. I do have some questions."
"Ask."
"Master, may I ask why dual cultivation requires the assistance of others? Can't you practice it by yourself?"
He Huan Zhenren was full of surprise and blurted out: "You are messing with Narcissus?"
Jiang Yan was confused: "Ah?"
He Huan Zhenren coughed and waved his hand: "It's okay, go ahead and ask."
Jiang Yan had no choice but to continue: "One more thing, Master, what is the furnace tripod?"
Smiling Master Hehuan: “…” But the smile froze on his face.
The eldest sister who was drinking tea: "Puff——" a mouthful of tea sprayed out.
The second brother who was making tea: "Hiss!" The boiling hot tea scalded his hand.
Jiang Yan took out his alchemy furnace and crucible for boiling magic potions, but since they couldn't fit on the small table, he placed them on the floor.
He was afraid that his master had never seen a crucible and would misunderstand.
"I usually use these two types of furnaces and cauldrons when I make pills. Master, can you take a look and see if they can be used?" Jiang Yan asked cautiously.
He Huan Zhenren: “…”
Senior sister and senior brother: "..."
The master and his disciples looked at each other in silence for a long time.
Jiang Yan silently took back his stove and pot.
"…Are both of these things inappropriate?"
No way, are you really not allowed to use it?
Then how does he brew the potion?
Jiang Yan was a little sad: "I only have this kind of pot."
Could it be that he was asked to develop a new style of crucible?
It sounds challenging, but it's not impossible.
Facing the sincere and innocent eyes of my junior brother.
He Huan Zhenren said quickly: "It can be used, it can be used... Although your second alchemy furnace looks a bit strange... No, this is not the problem of the alchemy furnace!"
Yan Yushan said weakly: "Junior brother, how did you grow up? Is there really someone who is oblivious to the world outside and only cares about the sword in his hand?!"
Fan Yang also asked: "Have you really never read any random books or listened to other people's gossip?"
Miscellaneous books...
If Senior Brother was referring to some bard biographies, Jiang Yan had read them, but not many. Most of the time, he preferred magic manuscripts that contained personal practice experiences, or magic books that contained rare magic arrays.
As for other things.
No matter how much he knows, it is about the magical continent, not this world.
Jiang Yan shook his head and used the same excuse he had used against Gu Jingyun.
He said half-truthfully: "I grew up in the mountains and forests, never seeing outsiders, and have not been in touch with the world for a long time."
The other three people present gradually felt suffocated, especially Master Hehuan.
"Yan'er, do you know what the Hehuan Sect teaches?"
"Dual cultivation."
"Do you know what dual cultivation is?!"
"Yin and Yang are in harmony, the spirit and the body are united, and then the heaven and man are enlightened, jumping out of the three realms and not in the five elements."
"..." He Huan Zhenren was speechless, and after a pause, he asked, "What is Yin and Yang?"
Oh! Do you want to discuss the Dao?
Jiang Yan answered in a serious tone, "Cold and darkness are Yin, light and heat are Yang. The earth is Yin, and the sky is Yang."
"wrong!"
He Huan Zhenren said slowly: "Women are Yin, men are Yang. Of course, in our He Huan Sect, it depends on the level. Yan'er, we are all Yin here, how about you?"
Jiang Yan first answered: "I practice two types of skills at the same time, so my left hand is Yin and my right hand is Yang. Because the growth rates of the two are not equal, the Yin and Yang are out of balance. I am looking for a way to blend the two."
Then he asked, "What do you mean by up and down? Why are they both Yin attributes? Master, aren't you learning a technique with dual Yin and Yang attributes?"
The other three people: "..."
Fan Yang asked carefully: "Do you know the art of sex? Erotic paintings?"
Jiang Yan shook his head honestly: "What are those?"
Three people: “…………”
He Huan Zhenren asked: "Why can you accurately say the 69 position?!"
Jiang Yan said embarrassedly: "Senior Brother helped me cheat."
Fan Yang: "I only gestured two numbers."
Jiang Yan: "I guessed the remaining word. I thought it might be named in the same way as the sword moves."
Three people: "..."
silence.
Silence is the Hehuan Sect today.
He Huan Zhenren was devastated and shouted, "So you really don't even know what 'dual cultivation' is!"
Jiang Yan: "...Dual Cultivation, isn't that the name of a martial art?"
"Yes! But——" Master Hehuan choked.
It turns out that Jiang Yan is really a blank slate.
White paper actually entered the dye room!!
Looking at the fair face of the little apprentice and his pure eyes full of curiosity.
The conscience that Hehuan Zhenren did not exist began to ache.
He Huan Zhenren turned around and asked Fan Yang: "Did your uncle send you a message? How are the preparations for the disciple-taking ceremony going?"
Fan Yang smiled bitterly, "Hearing that Master had accepted a talented person, and knowing Junior Brother's extraordinary appearance and...his remarks that day...all the uncles and uncles were very excited and rushed back to the sect overnight."
"The ceremony has been fully prepared, and we are just waiting for the protagonist."
Master Hehuan’s eyes went dark.
The ceremony was ready, and the guests had all arrived. Based on the speed at which rumors spread, it was estimated that the entire sect, and even some well-informed people in Xizhou, would know that a handsome immortal named Jiang had taken Hehuan Zhenren as his master.
If we rashly stop recruiting disciples at this time.
He is fine, but Jiang Yan will definitely be criticized.
Master Hehuan sighed.
"It's my fault for not asking carefully."
When I accepted a disciple that day.
Jiang Yan had clearly told him: "The two techniques in my body have conflicting properties. I want to learn a technique that can reconcile them."
That’s right, the dual cultivation technique taught by the Hehuan Sect can indeed reconcile and resolve the problem of conflicting technique attributes.
When you first start learning the technique, it should be done just like other internal skills.
Remember the formula, draw the Qi into the body, and control the spiritual power flowing through the limbs and bones. Repeat this cycle several times, and let the spiritual power become familiar with the route through the meridians, and be able to operate freely, then it can be considered as entry.
After that, it is to control the two kinds of true qi at the same time, neutralize and complement the yin and yang, and turn mutual restraint into mutual generation.
On a superficial level, all they need to do is do as Jiang Yan had thought before, where the two of them put their palms together, pass on their skills to each other, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and speed up their spiritual power cultivation.
But this cannot fully utilize the dual cultivation method.
If you want to achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two, or even more than doubling it, you must have deep interaction.
The way of heaven is a chaotic universe, and the fusion of yin and yang is also a behavior that conforms to the way of heaven. Therefore, in the interaction, the spiritual power of both sides will be entangled with each other, and under the control of the monks of the Hehuan Sect, they will travel through a fixed path, either to help open up the meridians or to strengthen the spiritual consciousness...
The specific effect varies, depending on the cultivator's level of cultivation. But it is always of great benefit.
After the interaction, both parties will have some insights - at this time it depends on their understanding and talent.
Some people can cross several realms or even reach a higher realm in their first dual cultivation.
For some people, their internal strength only became slightly stronger, while others were extremely embarrassed and just knew they had done it without any other feelings. They would also be a burden to the cultivators of the Hehuan Sect.
Therefore, not everyone is willing to practice dual cultivation with the Hehuan Sect monks.
The higher the understanding, the better; the higher the strength, the better.
Of course, the higher the appearance, the better.
For needs like Jiang Yan's, the dual cultivation technique can indeed solve the problem.
But he doesn't need to join the Hehuan Sect himself!
He could find someone from the Hehuan Sect to practice dual cultivation...
He Huan Zhenren pondered for a moment and said, "Things have come to this point. Disciple, you have already boarded the pirate ship and you can't escape."
Jiang Yan: “!!”
What! It really is a pirate ship!
Two disciples: "..."
Master, is it really okay for you to describe yourself like this?
"The ceremony of accepting disciples has been fully prepared, and the fact that you have become my last disciple is now known to the world. If not for this, if you were to learn swordsmanship, I could introduce you to the Sword Sect." Zhenren Hehuan said.
Sword Sect?
Jiang Yan felt a little ashamed. Didn't that mean he almost became Gu Jingyun's junior fellow apprentice?
"But I am Master's disciple now. Why doesn't Master want me?" Jiang Yan asked.
"I don't want you." He Huan Zhenren sighed, "It's just that I'm afraid this place... is not suitable for you."
Yan Yushan and Fan Yang's expressions changed slightly at the same time, and they looked at Jiang Yan worriedly.
Jiang Yan listened, but his expression remained unchanged, his eyes were calm.
He was still kneeling on the mat, with his clothes pulled tightly together so that even the corners of his clothes were not disturbed at all.
He was not too far from Master Hehuan. The kettle between them was boiling on a small stove, with wisps of white smoke rising up.
The smoke blurred the young man's face, but could not hide his clear and bright eyes.
"Master just told me the sect's rules not long ago. Am I going to be expelled from the sect before I even kowtow three times and nine times in front of everyone?"
Jiang Yan asked calmly, "I wonder what I did wrong? Please give me some advice, Master. I will try my best."
Jiang Yan has been an absolute top student since he started school.
He is always the first. When talking about outstanding students, his name is the first one that everyone thinks of.
He will always be "someone else's child".
There have always been many tutors competing for him, and he has never been called by a tutor to discuss with others, "Why don't you transfer to another school? This is not the right school for you."
"Master hasn't taught me yet, how do you know I can't do it!" Jiang Yan said through gritted teeth.
Master Hehuan was still saying something else, but no matter what he said, Jiang Yan neither spoke nor refuted, but just stared at him without saying a word.
His eyes were unblinking, filled with trust in the teacher, a request for help, and a reluctance and stubbornness to admit defeat.
No one could look Jiang Yan in the eye for more than three seconds under such a gaze.
He Huan Zhenren: “…”
Is this what karma means?
Good disciple, you have great talent, but you are too filial.
I just taught you this trick and you immediately use it on your master.
Master Hehuan is under a lot of pressure.
It’s not a question of whether to teach or not, but that he has never tried to dye a piece of white paper yellow.
All the people who came to see him before were as unrestrained as they could be. Even the two disciples he accepted looked innocent, but in fact their true colors were revealed within three days of getting to know them.
He read the short storybooks without changing his expression or heart beating, and sometimes he was even more outspoken than him.
He thought Jiang Yan looked innocent, but he didn't expect that he was actually the same person as he appeared to be!
"My dear disciple, it's not that I don't want to teach some things, but I don't know how to teach them." Master Hehuan felt a little melancholy.
He would feel uneasy about forcing women of good character into prostitution.
Jiang Yan: "If you can't learn it once, try it twice. If you can't learn it twice, try it three times. Master can practice all night long, so can I!"
His eyes were very determined.
The three masters and apprentices: "..."
I didn’t think it was a big deal before I knew the truth, but after I knew the truth I felt like I was committing a sin.
When I return to Xizhou, I will definitely steal the wooden fish from the monk at Taixu Temple and carry it with me. Whenever I think of this matter, I will strike it a few times.
Yan Yushan said solemnly: "Master, tell him the truth!"
Fan Yang: "Yes, what if he asks others a few questions after getting off the boat, and the news reaches the ears of my uncles and aunts..."
Hehuan Zhenren's face turned green!
By then, he will be the one being criticized!
As a cultivator with the name of Hehuan, as the pride of the previous generation of the Hehuan Sect, as a person who has not only mastered the dual cultivation technique to perfection, but also reached the pinnacle of dual cultivation skills.
His disciple was a person who didn't even know what dual cultivation was.
"you're right."
He Huan Zhenren said slowly, "It would be fine if Yan'er kept his mouth shut, but if he was more curious and more sociable, I would have to kneel in front of the tablet of our ancestor."
We can’t lose face for the Hehuan Sect!
Jiang Yan's heartbeat gradually accelerated.
He had a hunch.
This feeling is like the first time I picked up a sword, the first time I met the Elven Mother Tree, the first time I successfully drew a magic circle...
Both excited and nervous.
He is about to open the door to a new world.
"Master, please tell me." Jiang Yan took a deep breath, "I'm ready."
True Man He Huan said: "The dual cultivation we have been talking about is not the same as what you imagine."
Jiang Yan: ! !
He Huan Zhenren: "There is such a method, but if you want to practice it well, the process is a little beyond your expectations."
Jiang Yan: "What should we do?"
He Huan Zhenren struggled for a few seconds and uttered a word with difficulty: "...have sex."
Jiang Yan: “?”
Yan Yushan, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the table and stood up.
"Master, it's no use being tactful with him! Junior brother grew up in the mountains and is half a wild man! You have to be straightforward!"
Jiang Yan: “……?”
No, it's not!
Jiang Yan tried to explain, "I'm not a savage, I'm just--"
I just live in the Elf Forest! Occasionally I will go out to the city with my parents to visit the elders!
Yan Yushan interrupted him: "I know, you think you are not."
"But it doesn't matter. I think you are, and you are." The eldest sister said very domineeringly.
Jiang Yan: “…”
Senior sister, is this really necessary?
Savage sounds so shabby and primitive.
Master Hehuan tried several times but just couldn't speak to the young child.
He quickly gave up: "Yushan, you come."
Yan Yushan's heart was as hard as iron. She covered her nonexistent conscience and said loudly:
"Dual cultivation means mating!"
The sound is like a loud bell!
If it weren't for the soundproofing barrier, outsiders who heard it would be shocked.
Jiang Yan: “…”
Hand in what?
He Huan Zhenren: “…”
Fan Yang: “…”
You are really brave to say that. I admire you.
The people in the room were not shocked, but they were frightened to the point of losing their voices.
Fan Yang couldn't stand it anymore.
"Senior sister, could you please not speak so vulgarly? Can't you find a more elegant name?"
Yan Yushan put her hands on her hips, raised her chin, and said coldly: "Ya Cheng is beating around the bush, are you sure that Junior Brother can understand? He is half a savage!"
Even if you haven’t seen it between humans, you must have seen it between animals!
Jiang Yan: “…………”
Stop calling him a savage!
Elf!
He is an elegant and pure natural spirit!!
Jiang Yan believed from the bottom of his heart that half-elves were also elves.
Yan Yushan raised his head and pressed, "Junior brother, do you understand now?"
Jiang Yan nodded pretending to be calm, but he was actually feeling a little panicked.
Yan Yushan said, "I don't believe it. Tell me how two people practice dual cultivation... No, how to do it. You don't need to go into the details. I know you can't do it. Just give me a rough idea and you'll pass."
Jiang Yan's calm mask shattered into pieces in an instant.
"What do you want me to say... Senior Sister! I really can't do it!"
Yan Yushan clicked his tongue a few times, shook his finger, and said slowly: "Junior brother, a man can't say no."
Jiang Yan: “…………”
Help!
The other two: “…………”
Disciple/Senior Sister, please behave yourself!
Can’t you see that my junior brother is almost cooked?
Jiang Yan felt like his whole body was steaming and his tongue started to become uncontrollable, causing him to stutter when speaking.
His hands and feet were shaking slightly, and he didn't dare to look at other people. He looked helplessly at the locked door.
I really want to run away.
Jiang Yan finally realized where he was and what a big mistake he had made.
But it was too late.
Just as Master Hehuan said before - once you get on the pirate ship, you can't get off.
"Senior Sister..." Jiang Yan wanted to cry but had no tears.
Yan Yushan refused to let him go: "Speak!"
Jiang Yan said nothing, staring at her with a pair of eyes as clear as spring water.
The young man bit his lower lip, a blush spread from his neck to his ears, and his eyelashes trembled a little violently, and it was obvious that he was not at peace.
He stared at everyone in silence, his right hand tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, his long, white fingers turning white from the force.
Silent resistance.
I can't tell you.
That word.
I won't tell you even if I die.
Jiang Yan held on to his last bit of strength and stubbornness, but his sanity was on the verge of collapse.
He Huan Zhenren advised: "Yan'er, how can you be so shy? We are in the He Huan Sect."
Jiang Yan: “…”
Yan Yushan comforted her, "Okay, Senior Sister was too straightforward just now. I was afraid that you wouldn't understand."
Jiang Yan: “.”
From Master Hehuan to Yan Yushan, all of them were defeated, and no one could pry a word out of Jiang Yan's mouth.
Only Fan Yang succeeded.
Fan Yang was most confused: "Don't you have a lover? Why don't you even understand the matter of love?"
Jiang Yan: “?!”
He Huan Zhenren and Yan Yushan also showed shocked expressions: "!!!"
The former was a surprise.
"What, disciple, you have a lover?"
The latter is a sudden realization.
"Oh yeah. I forgot you had a close friend."
Jiang Yan frowned and asked incredulously, "When did I ever have a lover?"
Fan Yang: "? The young master who prepared clothes for you."
Yan Yushan also said: "You stayed up all night for him, and drew a formation diagram on the bronze mirror. Didn't you ask Qibao to bring it back to him?"
The more He Huan Zhenren listened, the brighter his eyes became.
As long as the apprentice has a partner, isn't it easy to teach? Give him a secret book and let him learn it on his own!
When you have learned almost everything, he will come to teach you. Wouldn't it be a natural progression whether it is the techniques or the skills?
It's really a bright future after a dark period——
Jiang Yan explained: "Young Master Gu is my friend, not my lover."
He Huan Zhenren: “…”
He Huan Zhenren said angrily: "I don't believe it!!"
Whenever Jiang Yan thought of Gu Jingyun, he remembered the sword he always carried on his back.
He pushed the sword again and remembered his demon-breaking sword.
"I'm going to marry Jian."
Jiang Yan picked up his sword, held it in his arms, and said seriously: "A very smart fortune teller told me that I would marry a sword."
Master Hehuan was furious.
“Who is it?!”
He roared: "Who on earth dares to curse my disciple?!"
"Forget it, forget it."
Yan Yushan advised: "These are charlatans from the mountain villages. Junior brother is ignorant of the ways of the world, so it's okay for him to be deceived. Master, why are you angry with them?"
Jiang Yan retorted: "Senior sister, Aunt Agnes is not a charlatan. She comes from a fortune-telling family, and her ability is precognition. She is well-known in our hometown."
"I didn't believe it at first, but she really did predict my future, so I had to believe it."
Yan Yushan was slightly surprised: "Really? What kind of divination did she use?"
Jiang Yan: "Tea leaves, pendulums, tarot cards, stars, etc... It is said that one can deduce a person's horoscope from the stars, and one can also see a person's future from a crystal ball."
The other three looked at each other.
"Tianji Sect also uses astrology to predict the future," said Fan Yang.
"His ability is predictive ability, and he comes from a noble family. It sounds like the truth." Yan Yushan said.
"But how can she curse Yan'er to be lonely for the rest of her life! I can't accept it!"
He Huan Zhenren said sadly: "Don't forget the ancestral teachings of the He Huan Sect!"
——As our ancestors taught, if you want to become a disciple, you must find a partner and successfully practice dual cultivation, at least once.
Everyone: “…”
Jiang Yan: “…”
No.
He's fine with the sword.
Jiang Yan was also very distressed: "Master, can't you really practice dual cultivation alone?"
He Huan Zhenren was so angry that he jumped up and down: "How can one person practice dual cultivation! Unless you raise your hands and swear in front of the tablet of the ancestor, you are really doing Narcissus!"
"What is narcissus..." Jiang Yan wondered: "Is it growing flowers? I am good at growing flowers and farming."
With the blessing of the goddess of nature and the blood of natural elves, whatever he plants will grow, and the magical herbs that pass through his hands will be more spiritual and have better medicinal effects.
Jiang Yan asked: "Master, do you have daffodil seeds? I will plant them as soon as I arrive at the sect."
The master and his two disciples were speechless.
He Huan Zhenren sighed: "Listen to this! Is this something a He Huan Sect cultivator could say?"
Fan Yang: "Junior brother, you are actually good at farming, you are worthy of being - uh."
Jiang Yan choked: "I'm not a savage!"
Fan Yang coaxed him gently: "Okay, okay, you are not."
Yan Yushan sneered: "Junior brother, let me tell you what Narcissus is, just make friends with yourself--"
Jiang Yan suddenly dropped the Demon-Breaking Sword and covered his ears with his hands.
Because his hearing was so good that simply covering his ears was not enough to block out the sound, he also used spiritual power to block out the sound.
I don’t really want to hear what comes next.
So helpless.
Both Senior Sister and the Hehuan Sect are a bit scary.
He Huan Zhenren said sadly, "He actually covered his ears! I've never done such a thing since I was punished to stand in the corner when I was three years old for breaking my parents' magic weapon, and I was caught for climbing over the wall to skip school when I was seven years old... I've never done such a thing again!"
Yan Yushan was so angry: "Jiang Yan, why are you covering your ears? I know you heard the last two words, don't try to cover your ears and steal the bell!"
Fan Yang advised: "Sister, forget it, forget it. Junior brother is still a child, why are you angry with him?"
Yan Yushan always felt that this sentence pattern was particularly familiar. After thinking about it carefully, she became angry.
"Isn't this what I just said to Master? Why are you two making Master and me angry?"
"Calm down, Senior Sister!" Fan Yang stood up in panic and shouted.
"I can't calm down!"
Yan Yushan had a bad temper and couldn't stand it anymore.
She shouted, "Junior brother is innocent. Although you are innocent too, you are my senior brother, so come over and give me a punch to calm down. I promise not to use too much force!"
"No!" Fan Yang screamed.
The next moment.
Fan Yangfei and Yushan jumped, and in the narrow space they fought back and forth, you advanced and I retreated, you tired me and I disturbed you, and the fight was extremely intense.
As they were fighting each other, Master Hehuan shook his head and sighed sadly, with a sad expression as if he would have to kneel in front of the tablet of his ancestors tomorrow.
Jiang Yan: ???
Jiang Yan spent his days alone in a corner, enjoying a peaceful life.
Because my ears were blocked, the whole process was like watching a pantomime, and I was extremely confused.
——What kind of sect did he join? !
Jiang Yan grabbed the Demon-Breaking Sword and slowly, slowly retreated towards the gate, hoping to take the opportunity to slip away.
Suddenly, the three men turned their heads and shouted something at him.
Jiang Yan then realized that he had not yet disabled the sound insulation.
He quickly removed the soundproofing barrier on both sides of his ears, and suddenly, the questions from the three people came into his ears at the same time.
"Disciple/Junior Brother, where are you going?!"
Jiang Yan: “…”
He quickly grabbed the nearest futon, placed the Demon-Breaking Sword on the floor beside him, and sat back down obediently.
Jiang Yan picked up the teapot and said calmly, "I'm pouring tea and water for Master and my senior sisters and brothers."
He who knows the times is a hero.
He is very sensible.
**
Jiang Yan tried his best to persuade everyone and finally made them believe that there was nothing going on between him and Gu Jingyun.
It was obvious that he and Young Master Gu were just pure friends, and to call them lovers was really an understatement of their relationship!
Jiang Yan argued with reason, and others had to believe him.
As for the question of "whether one can practice dual cultivation", after Jiang Yan carefully inquired about the practice mechanism of dual cultivation, he pondered and soon found a loophole.
On the second day, Jiang Yan found Master Hehuan and told him his discovery.
"The technique requires one person to control two kinds of true qi at the same time. This is because ordinary people only have their own true qi in their bodies, and the quantity cannot be doubled. Therefore, two people are needed to practice dual cultivation."
Jiang Yan said: "But, Master, I have two powers in my body."
He Huan Zhenren:? Can you take advantage of this loophole?
Jiang Yan continued, "My left hand cultivates magic power, which is Yin. My right hand cultivates spiritual power, which is Yang. I cultivate Yin and Yang by myself and become one."
He Huan Zhenren: “…”
Is this an alternative, asexual, purely spiritual version of Narcissus?
As Master Hehuan tasted the wine, his expression suddenly changed.
"What did you just say?" He raised his head suddenly, his eyes sharper than ever before, "Magic power? Are you a magic cultivator?"
Jiang Yan spoke quickly and said the word "magic" again.
He knew the word "devil" and how taboo it was in this world.
"No, Master. What I cultivate is not the magic power of the demons, but the magic power of fantasy." Jiang Yan had to take out the magic wand again and demonstrate it to Master Hehuan just as he demonstrated it to Gu Jingyun.
However, that day, Gu Jingyun quickly believed him.
However, Master Hehuan did not believe it.
He stared at the broken and then healed vase for a long time without nodding or shaking his head.
"It is indeed a very exquisite spell."
The white-haired young man slowed down his tone and said, "Yan'er, it's not that I don't trust you, but the matter of the demon clan is a matter of life and death, no matter how big or small it is."
Jiang Yan said helplessly: "But I really am not. This is just a kind of cultivation method, at most it looks like a foreign country."
Master He Huan said, "Do you know that the demon race is a race that suddenly appeared from nowhere?"
Jiang Yan was surprised: "Ah?"
"No one can find the past of the demon clan. We only know that one day, the Demon King suddenly descended on this continent." said Zhenren Hehuan.
Jiang Yan was secretly shocked when he heard this.
Isn’t this the same time travel as his!
Could it be that the demons here really came from the magic world?
He Huan Zhenren said solemnly: "Demons are cursed and cannot see the sun. They cannot travel during the day, but demon cultivators with demon seeds in their bodies can. I will know if you are a demon cultivator or not after checking."
Jiang Yan asked: "How do I check? Master, it's up to you."
Anyway, he is a serious monk.
Master Hehuan took out something that looked like a compass.
"You force out a drop of blood in the center. If the compass doesn't move, then you are not it."
For cultivators, every drop of essence and blood is extremely precious.
Jiang Yan did not hesitate. He bit his index finger and did as he was told.
Upon seeing this, Master Hehuan's expression relaxed slightly and he threw a jade bottle to him.
"Take one pill. It's a pill to replenish your qi and blood."
Jiang Yan raised his head slightly and swallowed a pill to restore his energy and blood.
The two men stared at the compass.
After the drop of blood dripped into the compass, the formation was activated, and countless streams of light floated up and dissipated in the palm of Master Hehuan.
After a while, the light gradually dimmed and the compass became silent, with no response at all.
"Huh." Master He Huan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I wronged you."
Jiang Yan didn't care. It was a simple matter to clear himself of suspicion with a drop of blood.
It's just blood and essence, which can be replenished in a few days even without elixirs.
Now that I have taken the elixir given by my master, it is even more of a matter of meditating and entering a state of concentration.
Jiang Yan is more concerned about the origins of the demon clan.
He asked Master Hehuan.
He Huan Zhenren suddenly realized: "You lived in seclusion in the mountains in the past, no wonder you didn't know. Six hundred years ago, this continent was invaded and massacred by the demons, and all the people were devastated."
He Huan Zhenren recounted the past: "The Demon Lord has the ability to summon servants. Low-level demons look like neither human nor ghost, and some are just skeletons without their own thoughts. Mid-level demons gradually have their own thoughts, but they are not smart."
"The high-level demons have completely taken human form, can think, and speak human language. The Demon Lords are even worse. Ordinary people cannot tell whether they are human or demon."
Jiang Yan:?
It sounds exactly like the demons in the magical world!
He Huan Zhenren: "The demons are cruel and bloodthirsty by nature. They can draw strange battle formations and summon undead spirits and an extremely ugly monster that likes to eat human carrion."
Jiang Yan: ? ?
Necromancers and the demonic army of ghouls?
True Man He Huan continued, "High-level demons disguised themselves as humans, lurking among the monks who were exorcising demons, sowing discord among them and causing us to suffer. From then on, no one dared to look down on demons anymore."
"The Shenzhou Continent is facing a crisis of life and death. Fortunately, there are not many high-level demons, only a few, and they all have their own fatal weaknesses."
"The Demon Lord was also seriously injured for unknown reasons and was only hanging on for a breath. The monks from all continents gathered together and worked together to eliminate the demons. Soon, all the demons were eliminated!"
Jiang Yan thought of Gu Jingyun's life experience and asked, "But, I heard that the demons have not been completely eliminated."
"Are you saying that a hundred years ago, the leader of the Sword Sect went out traveling with his wife, but was ambushed and killed by the demons, and is still seriously injured and has not recovered yet?" asked Zhenren Hehuan.
Jiang Yan nodded.
He Huan Zhenren sneered and said, "You are right. There are still remnants of the demon race living in the world! They dare not show up, so they use sweet words to deceive many cultivators, plant demon seeds in their bodies, and urge human cultivators to work for them."
"The reason why Sect Master Gu and his wife were ambushed was because their whereabouts were betrayed to the demon clan by a traitor!"
"Why them?" Jiang Yan asked.
He Huan Zhenren said: "The Sword Sect contributed the most to the elimination of the demons, and the Demon King was surrounded and suppressed by Sect Master Gu. Of course, the demons hate the couple!"
"When this happened, it alarmed the five continents and caused panic among the people. The Sword Sect's young master was furious and took over the sect. He conducted a thorough investigation and caught several traitors who possessed demon seeds. The Sword Sect's Law Enforcement Hall executed them immediately, but one person broke free and escaped from the sect."
Jiang Yan frowned when he heard this: "How is that person?"
"The Sword Sect's young master led his team to personally hunt him down and killed him with the sword."
He Huan Zhenren sighed, "What a pity! That person was once a young talent and a disciple of Sect Master Gu... I don't know why he betrayed his master and did such a treasonous thing."
Jiang Yan couldn't help but ask: "So, the traitor is actually a fellow disciple of Gu Jingyun."
He Huan Zhenren thought for a moment and said, "Strictly speaking, he is his senior brother. I heard that Young Master Gu's swordsmanship was taught by the Sect Master himself."
Jiang Yan said "Oh".
He didn't expect that Gu Jingyun would encounter such an experience.
Gu Jingyun had said it lightly at the beginning. Who could have expected that when his parents were in life-and-death danger, he would also have to bear the pain of being betrayed by relatives and friends and killing his senior brother with his own hands.
Jiang Yan raised his magic wand and asked, "Master, don't they know my kind of magic?"
When demonstrating it to Gu Jingyun, Gu Jingyun said that the demons could not learn this kind of magic.
If the demons really came from the magic world, it shouldn't be possible.
He Huan Zhenren hesitated: "Probably not."
Jiang Yan looked at him expressionlessly.
Master, you seem a little unreliable.
He Huan Zhenren looked back innocently: "Disciple, I am only 550 years old. The demons have been hiding for only about 50 years. I was just born when the war between humans and demons ended."
Jiang Yan: “…”
Young Master Gu is only a hundred years old now, so he has probably never seen it.
He Huan Zhenren thought for a while and said, "The Demon King has long been dead, and only the remnants of his army are left. It is said that the Demon King was the first to appear, and then many monsters gradually appeared. Those summoning techniques only exist among high-level demons."
"Some of them died, some were disabled. Even if they had magic, the inheritance would have been cut off."
He Huan Zhenren asked sharply, "My disciple, why do you ask this? Could it be that your magic and that of the demons have the same origin?"
Jiang Yan: “…”
Jiang Yan said calmly, "I learned magic from my hometown, and I have never seen any demons. Even if there are any, they learned them from us!"
He Huan Zhenren actually agreed, "That makes sense. The demons are cunning and treacherous, and they are capable of doing anything evil. It seems that they are capable of stealing other people's secret techniques."
Jiang Yan could see how low the status of the demons was here.
Although in the magical continent, the demons are also hated by everyone.
There's nothing we can do, it's their fault for not doing their job.
After talking about the past, both the master and the disciple felt a little heavy.
Jiang Yan inexplicably wanted to contact Gu Jingyun, so he wanted to go back to his room and use the sound transmission note.
I don’t know why, but it always feels a bit inconvenient that Master is here.
Jiang Yan stood up: "Master, I will go back to my room first. As for the dual cultivation..."
Master Hehuan was in no mood to argue about the "water or not" issue anymore. At most, the master and the disciple would go kneel in front of the tablet of their ancestor and ask the master to understand the new ideas of the young people.
He waved his hand and said casually, "Go ahead. I will teach you the secret formula of the technique after the ceremony is over."
Jiang Yan bowed and left.
Master Hehuan always felt that he had overlooked something.
He frowned, lay absent-mindedly for a long time, and felt drowsy.
Just before falling asleep completely, Master Hehuan suddenly opened his eyes and sat up in shock as if he was dying!
——【Young Master Gu is my friend】
——[The traitor is actually Gu Jingyun’s fellow disciple]
How many Young Master Gu are there in this world?
That's the only famous one!
I didn't tell him the Sword Sect's young master's name. I, the little disciple, knew nothing about the people and things in various continents. How could he tell you the full name of Young Master Gu alone!
Master Hehuan felt that he had learned another shocking secret.
