Chapter 91 Chapter 91 "I want to learn the method of dual cultivation from you...
Gu Jingyun went to the elders to discuss how to unite the various sects and break the demon formation.
Jiang Yan did not go with them.
He was thinking about the demon documents he had found from Qi Ze. Those were all in Hill language, and no one could understand them except him.
Jiang Yan stayed in the study for a whole day and read all the documents.
Everything else is useless. The only valuable thing is a incomplete formation map.
Jiang Yan took out the magic book he carried with him, compared it carefully, and quickly confirmed that this formation diagram was the magic formation that the demons used to resurrect the Demon Lord.
As the left protector, Qi Ze was responsible for the construction of part of the formation.
But the demons were cunning, and the formation in Qi Ze's hand was not the complete version, and a big corner was missing.
Jiang Yan pondered carefully, trying to deduce the incomplete parts based on the existing information.
Reversing the magic circle is very difficult, requiring:
1. Advanced alchemy.
2. Be familiar with the magic links and composition principles of the magic circle.
3. Understand and master the basic principles of necromancy and be able to make corresponding advanced deductions.
This is a cross-disciplinary thing.
Jiang Yan took out almost all of his magic books and buried himself in the pile of books without even raising his head.
Unlike natural magic, he didn't have to learn high-level instant undead magic. He only needed to climb to the top of the mountain in theory - at least to the middle of the mountain.
It was enough for him to deduce the magic circle of resurrection of the undead. That was enough.
For a wizard with magical talent, it is not difficult to learn and cast low-level spells that match their attributes.
The difficult part is learning spells with opposite properties and understanding the principles of magic.
Jiang Yan is a mage of nature and light attributes, and also a magical genius.
Before the sun set, he was able to endure the side effects of the reverse attribute and cast elementary necromancy magic to summon a dead hamster ghost.
It's not achieved by randomly chanting incantations.
It is a natural and smooth process that comes after a thorough understanding of the principles of magic.
If a light wizard were to come, he would never be able to learn necromancy.
The spell of reverse attribute consumes a lot of energy and has side effects.
Jiang Yan endured the nausea and discomfort of the black magic and carefully examined the translucent black rat ghost in front of him.
Suddenly, there were hurried and chaotic footsteps outside the house.
The guards shouted anxiously: "Gather, gather quickly! There is the presence of demons!"
The word "demon clan" was like a plague. In an instant, everyone in Bixiao Court was in a panic.
The door was slammed open.
Song Hua and Ji Ziheng, along with a few Sirius Guards, broke into Jiang Yan's study.
Ji Ziheng was filled with murderous intent and shouted, "My Lord, be careful! There are demons who are trying to assassinate you, right next to you."
The last word, the voice gradually faded.
Jiang Yan held a hamster ghost in his right hand and a magic wand in his left hand, looking innocent and confused.
The group looked at each other.
Jiang Yan: “…”
Sirius Guards: “……???”
The little hamster squeaked, climbed up from the palm of the immortal, and bowed with its two front paws clasped together.
He learned the unique skill of begging for food without any teacher.
"???"
The two commanders of the Sirius Guard looked suspicious at the same time.
"My Lord, what are you doing...?" Song Hua asked hesitantly.
Jiang Yan smiled awkwardly: "I am studying the magic of the dead - the magic that the demons know."
"I just wanted to try it out to see if it would work. I didn't expect it would actually work."
It was dead silent.
Song Hua hesitated to speak.
I don’t know whether I should praise him as a “genius” or advise him not to mess around.
The demons cannot survive in the Sword Sect unless they insist on not using any magic within the mountain gate.
Otherwise, if you use it in the last second, it will be discovered in the next second.
After all, in the entire world of cultivation, the Sword Sect has the largest psychological shadow on the demons and is the most defensive.
Outside the house, there were still some Sirius Guards who were unaware of the truth. They rushed into the main courtyard with weapons in hand and murderous looks on their faces, rushing towards the study.
Someone was running while sending an urgent message to Gu Jingyun.
Jiang Yan had sharp ears and eyes, and when he heard the noise, he quickly asked Ji Ziheng to stop it.
He moved his fingers, magic power surged, and the hamster ghost in his palm became more and more transparent, gradually turning into a wisp of green smoke and returning to sleep.
Sword Sect, meeting room.
Gu Jingyun sat at the chief seat, concentrating on discussing with the elders.
Suddenly, a sound transmission note floated out from his waist, and the talisman lit up and burned.
[Young Master, a faint demonic aura has appeared in the main courtyard study of Bixiao Academy! The Immortal Master is studying in the study, and the two commanders have led people to rush to the rescue as soon as possible.]
Gu Jingyun's expression changed!
He slapped the armrest heavily and stood up quickly.
In the hall, the elders stopped talking.
The young master was in a hurry to leave, his face as gloomy as water and his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Ling Dai asked hurriedly: "Young Master, what happened?"
Just as Gu Jingyun was about to answer, another sound transmission note suddenly floated out.
The talisman caught fire again.
[Young Master, the crisis has been resolved. It turned out that when the Immortal was studying the demon clan's book, he used a demon clan's undead spell and summoned a hamster undead. The demonic energy leaked out, so this misunderstanding occurred.]
[Commander Ji is leading people to check every corner of Bixiao Courtyard to ensure that nothing goes wrong.]
Gu Jingyun: "..."
Ling Dai stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Young Master, please say something! Is the situation getting more serious?"
Gu Jingyun: “…………”
My wife almost blew the roof off while doing research, it’s just a small matter.
"It was just a misunderstanding. I made a fuss out of nothing. No problem."
Gu Jingyun firmly took the blame.
He waved away the ashes of the sound transmission talisman, turned around, and calmly sat back in the first seat.
"Elders, please continue. We just talked about the invitations to the leaders of the various sects..."
**
It was not until the night fell that Gu Jingyun rubbed his brows and returned to Bixiao Courtyard.
Jiang Yan scratched his cheek embarrassedly: "I almost made a fool of myself today, and I troubled everyone to work all afternoon."
What should have been a leisurely day was turned into a busy day of checking for safety hazards.
Gu Jingyun didn't say a word of blame.
"Just check for gaps and fill them up."
Gu Jingyun touched the top of Jiang Yan's head and said with a smile: "I will make a secret room for you later. If you want to study the magic of the dead, go to the secret room. This way, it will not trigger the protective magic circle, and it will not affect your research. Okay?"
"Okay, thank you, brother." Jiang Yan nodded obediently and asked, "How did you discuss with the elders?"
Gu Jingyun said: "When they learned about this, their faces were all solemn. While the sect competition has not yet been held, Elder Ling will use his name and the excuse of the competition to widely send out invitations, inviting the leaders of various sects to come and have a chat."
Ling Dai is highly respected in the world of cultivation, and he would not ask anyone to make a trip just for such a small matter.
Since he personally asked for help, something big must be happening and the various sects will not be negligent or slack.
Jiang Yan said, “Tell the other sect leaders to be careful on their way to the Sword Sect to avoid an ambush by the demons.”
Gu Jingyun: "That's natural. I have already reminded you subtly in the post."
The young master does things prudently and reassuringly.
Jiang Yan did not ask any more questions. Instead, Gu Jingyun asked, "Has A-Yan had his meal?"
"No." Jiang Yan shook his head slightly, "Waiting for you."
Just one sentence made Gu Jingyun very happy.
He immediately ordered someone to bring in dinner, and even avoided Jiang Yan, going to the kitchen to give a few instructions.
The servants came in one after another, served the dishes, and then left with their heads lowered.
Jiang Yan picked up the chopsticks and said "Huh" in surprise.
"Not to your taste?" Gu Jingyun asked.
Ever since Gu Jingyun took over Jiang Yan's food, housing and transportation, he has been under strict control. There is nothing he doesn't like, and his clothes and bedding are all skin-friendly and comfortable.
The master holds the Immortal King in his heart, so how could the servants not be attentive to him and have never made any mistakes.
Can……
There wasn't a single carrot dish on the table.
He was used to being fed carrots, so the sudden change in the menu was inevitably confusing.
Jiang Yan hesitated slightly and didn't know where to start eating.
“Why are there no carrots?”
Gu Jingyun paused, "Ayan likes this dish very much?"
Jiang Yan stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the ribs.
"That's not the case." He replied casually, "It's just that I see it at two out of three meals. I didn't see it this time, so I asked a question."
Gu Jingyun: "...If you eat it every day, I'm afraid you'll get tired of it."
Jiang Yan agreed: "Yes, a little bit, but it's okay if it's gone."
The man became even quieter. He ate with her silently, helped her pick up and pour dishes, but didn't say a word.
It is said that one should not talk while eating or sleeping, but there is no such rule between Gu Jingyun and Jiang Yan.
In the past, no matter how little the young master said, he would always respond.
When the servants removed the leftovers and the door was closed, they were the only two left in the hall.
Jiang Yan tugged at Gu Jingyun's sleeve.
"Brother, why do you seem unhappy? Is it difficult to handle things?"
Jiang Yan racked his brains to comfort her, "I'm already working on restoring the magic circle, and I will not let the demon clan's conspiracy succeed. Don't worry."
Gu Jingyun was hesitant to speak. The demons were one thing, and social death was another.
Jiang Yan's eyes were burning, determined to get an answer.
There was no one around.
Gu Jingyun said in a heavy voice: "Ayan, what kind of demon are you?"
Jiang Yan was stunned.
"I am an elf." Jiang Yan was confused: "Brother, didn't you know it a long time ago? Why are you asking again?"
“…………”
As a native of the world of cultivation, this sentence touched upon Gu Jingyun's blind spot in knowledge.
The man was silent for a long time, then slowly asked, "So, what kind of demon is an elf? A tree demon?"
Jiang Yan: “???”
What the hell?
The two of them stared at each other in silence.
Jiang Yan found that something was wrong!
"Dryads are dryads, and elves are elves, how can you confuse them?" The young man was shocked and surprised.
"...You call a branch the mother tree." Gu Jingyun said.
Jiang Yan argued: "My ancestors were born from the combination of the elven mother tree and the magic of nature. They are naturally descendants of the mother tree, but they are not tree demons!"
"Tree demons are tree spirits that can turn into wood. I'm not a wood spirit!" Jiang Yan shouted.
Gu Jingyun said sincerely: "You are no different from a wooden spirit."
Jiang Yan: “???”
Jiang Yan was furious: "I'm really not a wooden spirit!"
Gu Jingyun quickly comforted her: "Okay, okay, your race is not wooden, but your brain structure and logical thinking are wooden..."
Is that human language?
Jiang Yan was so angry that he stepped hard on the man.
Gu Jingyun is a thick-skinned person and didn't feel anything at all.
It's like being stepped on by a passing cat. Not only does it not hurt, but it also tries its best to stop you, actively asking: "If you don't feel better, do you want to do it again?"
Jiang Yan took great pains to explain to the natives the difference between elves and tree spirits, introduced the customs and culture of the Hill Continent, and frantically popularized common knowledge about magic.
Everything that has been said before and not said before will be said again now.
Sometimes I would take out my magic wand and practice on the spot to tell him the magic of magic.
Gu Jingyun was very surprised when he heard this.
The world is really so big that there are all kinds of strange things.
Finally, Jiang Yan took out the secret book of the elves and looked through the illustrations.
"Look, this is the elves!"
Gu Jingyun picked up the book and read it carefully.
It was painted with colored paints with half-length pictures of two elves, one male and one female, both of them were handsome and beautiful, with no flaws in their facial features, skin as white as snow, waist-length hair, and indifferent expressions.
The only difference between them and humans is their long pointed ears.
Not a rabbit demon.
The rabbit demon also has long ears, which are rounder and larger than the elf's ears, and you can tell at a glance that they are animal ears.
The elf's ears are more like a variation of human ears, with a different pattern.
Of course, it is even less likely to be a tree demon.
Gu Jingyun raised his eyes and his gaze fell on the young man's ear.
Jiang Yan grabbed Gu Jingyun's hand.
"I am a hybrid born from the union of humans and elves. The top of my ears is slightly pointier than that of ordinary humans, but it is not easy to notice. I just think it is a personal appearance feature."
"Touch it and see if you can find it!"
Jiang Yan leaned forward and took the initiative to let the man touch his ears.
Gu Jingyun touched it carefully with the tip of his index finger and found that it was indeed true.
The man withdrew his hand with a complicated expression.
He had already noticed the subtle abnormality when he had touched her ears and kissed her many times before.
But he thought they were rabbit ears...
Jiang Yan asked angrily: "Have you always thought I was a tree demon?"
Gu Jingyun looked at Jiang Yan's expression and didn't dare to say anything.
Jiang Yan: "Why are you looking at me? Tell me now!"
Gu Jingyun: "..."
Gu Jingyun said honestly: "I thought you were a rabbit demon."
Jiang Yan: “???”
Jiang Yan was speechless for a moment: "From head to toe, I have nothing to do with rabbits——"
Before he finished speaking, the young man suddenly realized, "Could it be because I often talk about my sensitive ears?"
Gu Jingyun simply confessed in one breath:
"I also prefer vegetarian food to meat and I love eating carrots."
"You often meditate facing the moon, absorbing the moonlight, or pounding medicine with a pestle and mortar. I once thought you were a rabbit fairy that flew down from the Moon Palace, but later I changed my mind."
"You just repeatedly described the customs and habits of the alien continent, which indirectly proves that your hometown is not the moon."
"You don't feel safe up high, and rabbits can't fly..."
Jiang Yan: “…………”
Jiang Yan clenched his fists and spoke quickly:
"I don't just like radishes. I eat them because you gave them to me."
"Meditating in front of the moon, because magic power is scarce here, and can only be supplemented by moonlight."
"I don't learn to fly a sword, not only because of the psychological trauma in my childhood, but also because -"
"Because why?" Gu Jingyun asked.
Jiang Yan blurted out: "Because you are by my side!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into silence.
The man's expression gradually softened and his eyes became calm.
He didn't say a word, but under such a gaze, Jiang Yan's cheeks flushed and his eyes dodged unconsciously.
——Jiang Yan likes himself.
At this moment, Gu Jingyun was extremely sure.
He decided to take the relationship between them to the next level.
"Ayan."
Gu Jingyun held Jiang Yan's hand and said sincerely, "I know this is abrupt, but I have to say it."
Jiang Yan looked up at him and said, "Brother, just tell me directly."
Gu Jingyun mustered up his courage, stared into the young man's eyes, and spoke word by word: "I want to learn the method of dual cultivation from you, are you willing?"
Dual cultivation?
Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.
As far as he knew, dual cultivation had two meanings - the dual cultivation technique of Hehuan or the secret of dual cultivation of martial arts and demons.
In Jiang Yan's opinion, these two are not contradictory.
The purpose of learning the Hehuan technique is to practice both martial arts and magic.
If you want to practice both martial arts and magic, you have to learn the Hehuan technique.
Gu Jingyun has the Heart-Searching Sword Technique. That sword technique is a combination of body and mind techniques, and he has practiced it for more than a hundred years, so it is impossible for him to change it easily.
What made him want to learn the Hehuan technique?
Jiang Yan suddenly realized!
Perhaps it was because Gu Jingyun had listened to him talk about how amazing magic was all night, and also knew that he practiced both spiritual power and magic, so he was moved and wanted to practice both martial arts and magic like him!
This secret method should not be passed on to outsiders.
But he and Gu Jingyun... who are they to each other? Why do they care about such a small matter?
Gu Jingyun looked at the young man nervously as he frowned and thought. After a while, the young man smiled at him and nodded.
He heard Jiang Yan say in a gentle voice:
"If it's you, of course I am willing. When will it start?"
Happiness comes too suddenly.
Gu Jingyun was overjoyed and said without hesitation: "The moonlight is charming tonight, why not wait for a better day!"
Jiang Yan said readily: "Then come with me."
Where to go?
On the bed?
Gu Jingyun's mind was filled with a man's unspeakable thoughts.
The two walked out hand in hand.
He didn't go in, and Gu Jingyun thought: Does he want to sleep on the long couch in the outer room?
Passing by the long couch outside, Gu Jingyun thought again: Is he going to the hot spring pool and take a bath at the same time?
I walked dozens of steps in the opposite direction of the hot spring pool, stepped out of the corridor and walked out of the eaves.
Gu Jingyun felt something was wrong.
After all, Jiang Yan couldn't be so bold as to practice dual cultivation in the open air.
The other disciples of the Hehuan Sect might be like this...
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Jiang Yan pulled him, used his lightness skills, and leaped onto the roof.
Gu Jingyun was still wondering which type of erotic painting could have such a bizarre location when he saw Jiang Yan take out a cushion and sit cross-legged on it, then he handed him one in a friendly manner.
Gu Jingyun: "…What is this for?"
Jiang Yan was surprised: "Meditating facing the moon can enhance magic power, which is the first step in practicing martial arts and magic. Don't you want to learn how to practice dual cultivation?"
Gu Jingyun: “…………”
Jiang Yan: "You have no magic foundation, so don't rush in. Magic power and spiritual power conflict with each other. I have to see if you have a talent for magic first."
Seeing the man remained silent.
Jiang Yan had to explain again:
"Not only is the magic power scarce here, but moonlight can also increase a mage's magical perception."
"In Hill Continent, many magicians start their practice of magic by sensing the magic factor under the moon."
Gu Jingyun closed his eyes.
"That's not the question. That's not what I meant."
Jiang Yan was bewildered: "Don't you want to learn magic from me? Otherwise, why would you want to learn the Hehuan technique?"
Gu Jingyun suddenly remembered that the reason why Jiang Yan was determined to go to Hehuan Sect was -
[I need the Hehuan Sect's dual cultivation technique to reconcile the two powers in my body.]
Gu Jingyun: “.”
It's like shooting oneself in the foot.
If I had remembered it earlier and explained it more clearly, I wouldn't have made such a mistake.
Jiang Yan sat cross-legged on the cushion, waiting patiently for Gu Jingyun.
He saw that the man's face was pale and after a moment, he let out a long sigh.
"In that case, I have no choice but to be more direct."
"Hmm?" Jiang Yan snorted in confusion.
Gu Jingyun knelt on one knee, half squatting and half kneeling in front of Jiang Yan.
The man leaned forward, and a shadow loomed over Jiang Yan.
The next moment.
Their warm lips touched.
Jiang Yan suddenly opened his eyes wide and dared not move.
He stared blankly at Gu Jingyun's handsome face so close to him and held his breath.
Keep the lips in contact for a few seconds.
Gu Jingyun stepped back slightly and said softly, "I don't want to learn magic, nor do I care about the Hehuan technique. What I want to do to you is this."
"I'll say it again, I like you, not just like brothers, but -"
A big hand touched Jiang Yan's face.
Gu Jingyun lifted Jiang Yan's chin and kissed him hard.
This time, it was no longer a light kiss.
Gu Jingyun kissed hard and deep.
He pinched Jiang Yan's lower lip with his thumb, forcing him to open his mouth and entangled his tongue with his.
“Hmm…Hmm…”
As they kissed, there was a faint sound of water.
Jiang Yan couldn't sit cross-legged steadily, and subconsciously reached back to support himself with the roof tiles.
His waist was tightly held by Gu Jingyun's other hand, and it was only thanks to this arm that he did not completely go limp.
Jiang Yan's brain turned into a mess. He was at a loss as to where to go and almost forgot where he was.
Gu Jingyun is too strong.
He would not allow Jiang Yan to retreat, nor would he allow him to refuse.
He chased after him and kissed him again and again, and only when he noticed that Jiang Yan seemed unable to breathe did Gu Jingyun step back slightly.
Neither did they step away, but maintained an intimate distance with their foreheads touching each other's and their breaths interacting.
The man smiled solemnly and said, "... Do you understand? This is how I like you. I want to be your Taoist partner, not your sworn brother."
"you--"
Jiang Yan's chest heaved violently as he gasped.
His heart was shaken.
Under the bright moonlight, the young man's cheeks were rosy and his eyes were watery, charming and mind-boggling.
Gu Jingyun said: "When I first saw you, I had a crush on you. When I gave you the jade token, the words 'I am attracted to you' were my first confession."
"There were many hints in our subsequent contacts, but you are naturally slow to react and didn't understand for a long time."
"The other day in the sea of flowers, I played the phoenix to seek love. I didn't really want you to comment on my piano skills."
Gu Jingyun asked: "Do you know what kind of person I like?"
Jiang Yan paused and replied in a low voice: "Yes, it is the love between Taoist companions, just like the love my father has for my mother."
"That's right."
Gu Jingyun sighed, "If I had known that a kiss would open your mind, I wouldn't have endured it."
He pressed on: "You're not hiding, do you like me too?"
Jiang Yan stammered and was unable to speak.
Gu Jingyun stroked Jiang Yan's lower lip with his fingertips, wiping away the water stains on his lips.
"If you don't say anything, I'm going to kiss you again," the man chuckled.
Jiang Yan recalled the kiss that made his spine numb, and said in panic: "Don't - I can't stand it!"
Gu Jingyun: "Then do you like me?"
Jiang Yan's ears turned red. "Let me think about it."
Gu Jingyun: "Think about it now."
Jiang Yan's cheeks flushed, and he begged in a low voice: "Let's go back to the room, okay? There are secret guards outside, they will see us!"
"Who dares to spy on the master's love affairs? When I kissed you, they automatically stayed away." Gu Jingyun said.
But Jiang Yan was so embarrassed that Gu Jingyun carried him back to the room after a few lifts and falls.
——Returned to his room, not Jiang Yan’s.
The man gently put Jiang Yan down and let him sit on the bed.
Before he could say a word, a familiar cold fragrance hit him.
"As long as you say stop, I will stop." The man's voice was deep and hoarse, "Ayan, you have the right to refuse at any time."
Jiang Yan raised his eyes.
The flickering candlelight cast a layer of warm light on the man. His jaw was slightly tense and his ears were a little red - proving that Gu Jingyun was not as calm as he appeared, he was also nervous.
Gu Jingyun pressed forward tentatively, resting his hands on the bed beside the young man.
Just as he promised.
Gu Jingyun did not restrain Jiang Yan's hands, nor did he hold him tightly, nor was he as forceful as he was on the roof.
He took a lower stance.
If Jiang Yan wanted to push Gu Jingyun away, he could do it at any time.
——Do you want to push Gu Jingyun away?
The moment this thought came to mind, Jiang Yan rejected it.
No.
He didn't want to push Gu Jingyun away.
Jiang Yan reflexively resisted any choice that would make Gu Jingyun leave him.
No need to think, just follow your heart.
Jiang Yan said softly:
"...Me too, I like you very much."
The moment he said it, Jiang Yan felt at peace and felt unprecedented comfort and happiness.
All those emotions that I had once noticed but failed to understand due to my slowness now had answers.
It turns out that he also has such feelings towards Gu Jingyun.
The young man's breathing was extremely disordered.
Jiang Yan didn't know what words he should use to respond to Gu Jingyun's love, and what kind of confession he should use to prove his feelings.
He thought about it.
Only this sincere friendship and bone-deep love can be conveyed without words.
Jiang Yan's Adam's apple rolled.
He raised his hands and hugged the man's neck, his long and thick eyelashes trembling violently. He closed his eyes and kissed him recklessly and recklessly.
He took the initiative to open his lips, and his lips and tongue intertwined with Gu Jingyun's, kissing deeply.
