Chapter 297 Gu Dan travels far away
It was just an ordinary day.
Nothing seems to have changed.
Xun Ke and Cang both went out, they were going to hold a funeral.
But Gu Dan didn't go.
He had long since stopped attending anyone's funeral and didn't want to experience the same separation as himself again.
At this time, he was the only one left in the Gu family courtyard.
Gu Dan's gaze swept around the yard. This small courtyard occupied most of his life, and countless familiar people had lived here.
The first one was Mo Qiu, at that time, this place was called Mohist Martial Arts School; later it was Xun Ke, Qin Lisheng, and Cang; and later, it was Xiaoying.
Andy Hui, Lin Xiaoyi, and Gong Shang would often come over to sit when they were not busy. At that time, the small courtyard was actually very lively.
Xun Ke and Qin Lisheng would practice martial arts in the yard, and sometimes they would fight each other. Although they were called fighting, it was obvious that Qin Lisheng was unilaterally crushing each other.
Xiaoying would run around with Xiao Cang, making a lot of noise and sometimes causing trouble, which would be dealt with by Lin Xiaoyi and Xu Zhian who would hear about it.
Now, at least half of the people I could remember have disappeared and will never see them again.
Even if the yard remains the same, how can people remain the same?
Time waits for no one.
He is leaving too.
He has fulfilled his original promise.
There is nothing left to linger on.
Standing under the big willow tree in the yard, Gu Dan began to recall carefully and seriously.
Looking back on the Xia Dynasty, is there anything else I want to do, or are there any regrets?
Memories were turned over, and among the colorful past, occasional thoughts of ups and downs arose.
Gu Dan went to the former site of Dayue Palace and found something.
Baking furnace to create elixir.
This thing is an expired pill from who knows how many hundreds of years ago. There used to be two of them, but now there is only one left.
The missing one was eaten, maybe that's why he came here.
But this pill is not completely useless.
At least, Gu Dan was promoted to Grandmaster without experiencing any problems with his Qi and blood.
In other words, even if this pill is just a residual pill, it is enough to help people solve the problem of qi and blood obstruction.
But it was too dangerous. Even if it could save people more than ten years of hard work, the price would be their lives. Who would be willing to do it? Naturally, it was shelved.
But now, this pill should be able to be subdued by Gu Dan.
Gu Dan gently scraped off a little bit from the black and rough Honglu Creation Pill and took a sip with the tip of his tongue.
Extremely bitter.
Then it exploded like a medicinal force and began to travel through Gu Dan's body.
But there was no pattern in that kind of wandering. It was like a sudden burst of fire, rushing around without any purpose at all.
The power of the medicine wanted to cleanse his body in an irregular way, but unfortunately, his body was no longer able to improve any further, and this pill was already outdated in Gu Dan's eyes.
The little bit of medicinal power didn't even cause a ripple and was smoothed out by Gu Dan's body.
This thing can no longer cause any harm to him.
"It can indeed help people overcome obstacles in their qi and blood."
After feeling it for a while, Gu Dan was sure.
Of course, this pill can only help people to resolve the obstruction of qi and blood. Whether or not one can survive after completion has nothing to do with it.
Don't ask what the price is, just tell me whether you have completed the blood and qi barrier! Unfortunately, this thing is a genuine and unique product. Qingpingzi just happened to find it and didn't dare to eat it himself.
Otherwise, if there were a complete pill recipe and enough medicinal materials, perhaps martial arts would flourish.
"Cang"
Staring at the pill again and again, Gu Dan already had the intention of using it.
That bastard Cang, when practicing martial arts, he refused to move forward when he reached the stage of practicing internal organs because he was afraid of pain and torture.
But the speed of this pill is very fast. It will take more than ten years of refinement to be integrated into one's body. The price is a little pain and sequelae.
The sequelae don’t matter, Gu Dan is capable of handling them.
Maybe we can add another master to the Xia Dynasty?
We're leaving anyway, there's no reason not to go.
When Cang finished his work and returned tiredly to the Gu family courtyard, he was surprised to find Gu Dan sitting in front of the stone table, looking at him with an unprecedented kind look.
Since he grew up, he hasn't felt Gu Dan's love for him for a long time.
This made Cang a little flattered.
Sister Ying’s passing actually reminded the master that he still had such a lovely disciple!
"Cang."
Gu Dan waved his hand.
“Hey.”
Cang responded and ran over very obediently, standing in front of Gu Dan. His huge and broad body was like a small mountain. Even though Cang was trying hard to hold in his belly, the fat still protruded forward uncontrollably, as if there was a pot hidden in his stomach.
"I have a gift for you."
Gu Dan said with a pleasant face.
"real?"
Cang was very happy.
Of course he knew that Xun Ke and Qin Lisheng were promoted to grand masters.
That was a gift from Gu Dan to them.
I never thought that even a mere martial artist like me could have a share.
Cang was extremely happy, because he knew that being the master's apprentice would never be a loss!
"Of course it's true, just open your mouth."
Gu Dan was quite satisfied with Cang's awareness.
Cang naturally had absolute trust in Gu Dan, and immediately opened his mouth.
Then Gu Dan snapped his fingers and the pill fell into his mouth.
Cang subconsciously closed his mouth, chewed lightly, and his face changed drastically.
"Shi Hu, what is this?!"
Bitter, too bitter! The extreme bitterness made Cang's face twisted together, and the tone of his voice became a little weird.
He himself was quite fond of sweet things, and even when it came to suffering, he would run as far as possible and didn't want to endure any pain at all.
"Swallow it."
Gu Dan warned.
“It’s so bitter!”
Cang could only swallow the Honglu Creation Pill with tears in his eyes.
"Bitter? This is just the beginning."
Gu Dan shrugged slightly.
Cang: “?”
But before he could say anything, extremely severe pain came from his body.
It was as if there were thousands of knives scraping inside the body, all in a chaotic manner.
No matter the flesh, meridians, or bone marrow, nothing was spared.
In just a moment, sweat had soaked his clothes, and he was literally sweating like rain.
“Aaaaaaah!”
The sound from Cang's mouth was like that of a pig being slaughtered, and it was so loud that it shook the sky.
If he hadn't had a solid foundation in organ training, the sudden and terrifying pain would have made him pass out.
But it is precisely because of his foundation in practicing martial arts that he can still remain sober in this pain. Whether this is sobriety or misfortune, I am afraid only Cang himself knows.
He couldn't faint. This was an excellent opportunity to comprehend his own qi and blood.
Cang started rolling around in the yard.
Gu Dan followed behind him, shooting a green light into Cang's body from time to time.
As time slowly passed, Cang's fat body became visibly thinner.
Even the moans themselves seemed weak and feeble.
Finally, Cang lay powerlessly on the ground, his face twisted, the severe pain in his body still not stopping. He was too lazy to even struggle anymore. He just looked at the slightly blurry Gu Dan with tearful eyes and asked tremblingly: "Master, how did I offend you?"
"What are you talking about!"
Gu Dan timely injected another green light into Cang, with a gentle expression, "This is to help you practice."
"Can I not repair it?"
Cang was really about to cry. This was simply not something a human could endure.
He was just a kid in his sixties, how could he endure such torture? "If you still have the strength, feel it with your heart, don't speak."
Gu Dan said.
As the sun was approaching dusk, Gu Dan reached out and dragged up Cang, who was lying on the ground covered in dust. He looked at him carefully and sighed softly.
Cang is now indeed a martial artist who has mastered the art of internal organ training.
But the true energy did not move on its own.
He cannot be promoted to Grandmaster.
In fact, it is normal to be unable to advance, as not everyone has the five elements of spiritual roots.
Although it is common sense that everyone has all five elements, there are inevitably differences and emphases. A master must be completely integrated within himself in order to be able to control his true energy.
However, although he did not become a master, Cang has undoubtedly lost a lot of weight and has begun to get closer to the body shape of a normal person. Now he can only be considered a little fat, but he looks a lot pleasing to the eye.
Not a loss at all.
"Go, stop pretending to be dead here, find a place to take a shower by yourself."
Looking at Cang who was covered in dust, Gu Dan scolded.
"Master, I have no strength left."
Cang's whole body was shaking, like duckweed in the air, and it seemed as if he could fall to the ground at any time.
"Get lost."
Gu Dan was too lazy to argue with him.
They are all martial artists who have mastered the art of internal martial arts. It’s useless to have no strength.
Although he had never experienced the obstruction of Qi and blood, the pain of melting the five internal organs was no less than the pain of the obstruction of Qi and blood, and even more dangerous.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Facts have proved that as long as you are not killed by pain, you will not die.
"snort!"
Seeing that Gu Dan was so cruel, Cang snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and walked out of the Gu family courtyard.
I'll remember this grudge, there will be a time when you need my support! Watching Cang leave, Gu Dan's expression softened a little, and finally he sighed softly.
He turned back to the yard and packed up his things.
In fact, there is not much that needs to be packed. Since they are heading to Buzhou Mountains, a journey that will take ten years for a master, he is destined not to bring too many inconvenient things.
For example, the small broken ball weighing more than a thousand pounds in the Dayue Palace. Gu Danran could certainly play with it as a toy, but would he take it all the way to the Buzhou Mountains?
Let’s just forget it.
If you are going on a very long journey, there is no need to bring many things with you.
He did not have the storage bags that were seen everywhere in the vernacular novels, nor did the International Chamber of Commerce. Even the storage bags in the Buzhou Mountains, where one could cultivate immortality, were only legends.
Everything can only be kept simple.
Gu Dan finally took off the green robe that he had worn for years and put on the Liuyun Zhuiyue suit.
This piece of clothing was too conspicuous. Although Wang Mang gave him several sets, Gu Dan rarely wore it.
Of course, as a garment woven from rare treasures, its moonlight could be hidden. But even if it was hidden, the bright and gorgeous white garment would still be quite eye-catching, which did not conform to Gu Dan's aesthetics.
But if you are going on a long journey, this piece of clothing is quite useful. At least it allows you to stay decent without worrying about the damage of the clothes.
After the Xia Dynasty, he was virtually unknown.
In the end, Gu Dan simply packed up the package, which contained only a few pieces of clothing, some gold, and a few calming incense sticks. He held a purple bamboo in his hand and tied the package directly to it.
Apart from this, there is no need to carry any mundane things.
After packing up his things, Gu Dan took a careful look around the courtyard and closed all the doors and windows.
When walking out of the courtyard, Gu Dan locked the door.
After more than seventy years, the Gu family courtyard was locked again.
Gu Dan did not say goodbye to anyone, nor did he plan to tell anyone that he was leaving.
Just as he came quietly, there would be no need to cause any commotion when he left.
"goodbye."
Looking at the courtyard gate that had been replaced for who knows how many times, Gu Dan smiled and waved.
Then turn around and keep going.
The old man in a white robe walked forward carrying a purple bamboo pole.
One step, and the white hair gradually fades away.
One step, and gray hair disappears.
One step, and the black hair is like a waterfall.
One step, wrinkles disappear.
Faintly, there was a soft humming of songs floating in the air.
"Let's drink to the east wind and be at ease together. The purple willows hang down along the path east of Luo City. We always held hands at that time and traveled all over the place.
"Meeting and parting are so hasty, and the regret is endless. This year's flowers are more beautiful than last year's. But it's a pity that the flowers will be even better next year. Who will share the same feelings with me?"
Gu Dan did not leave immediately.
During the Xia Dynasty, Gu Dan also dug a grave in a rather magnificent tomb.
Looking at the skeleton in front of him, Gu Dan said coldly: "Third Prince, you are lucky to die early."
After the true Qi was beaten, not even ashes were left on the skeleton.
Gu Dan came here again to the place where the White Lotus was inherited.
He gently opened the lid of the immortal coffin and looked at the ruddy but silent Mo Qiu inside. With a wave of his hand, ten drops of green wood liquid flowed into his body, enough to maintain the life of this body for hundreds of years.
"Brother Mo, I'm leaving."
Gu Dan narrated calmly, "The Xia Dynasty is doing well now. Xun Ke has also grown up, and there is a successor. I want to go to the immortal way to take a look. I wonder what the situation is like there."
"When you wake up, remember to find me."
Gu Dan warned.
No answer.
Gu Dan stayed there silently for a long time, and the immortal coffin closed again.
This time, there is really nothing else to do.
An ordinary day.
Cang, who hadn't visited the Gu family courtyard for seven days, finished a busy day of official duties.
"Finally I can rest."
Cang stretched lazily. The chair that had fit him just right at the beginning now seemed unexpectedly large.
"How about we go to the courtyard and take a look? It's been seven days, Master should know he was wrong, right?"
Cang stroked his chin, thought about it, and decided to give his master a chance to apologize.
"Go buy some good wine and food."
Cang gave instructions to the concubine who had just arrived beside him.
For some reason, he has extraordinary energy and is often in a state of extreme vitality.
Even though he is over sixty years old now, he still looks great.
Energy that has nowhere to go must be vented somewhere, right? So it was reasonable for him to marry so many wives and concubines!
It's a pity that the master, who is not interested in women, would not understand at all. Alas, Cang could only endure this pain silently and not argue with the old man.
A light carriage carrying wine and food arrived at the gate of Gu's courtyard. Cang jumped out of the carriage and shouted "Master~" before he saw anyone.
The sound is very loud.
But there is no need to worry about disturbing others, because the houses around here have long been bought up by Wang Mang, and there are no real neighbors.
It’s not that I want to monitor Gu Dan, I’m just worried that some ignorant people will disturb him.
But today's courtyard seems a little different.
Cang is very familiar with the Gu family courtyard, so why does he feel it is a little different at first glance?
After a careful look, Cang was shocked to find that the door to the Gu family courtyard was locked! "Which bastard dared to lock my door?!"
Cang was furious.
In the Xia Dynasty, the Gu family courtyard still needs to lock the door? What a joke! Even if the door is always open, who dares to go in and steal things?
Cang ran to the gate of the courtyard and was about to pull open the iron lock, but he was suddenly stunned.
The wine and food in the other hand fell to the ground one after another.
If the master were here, who in the world could secretly lock the door to the courtyard? ! "Master?"
“Master?!”
"Master, where are you? Open the door!!!"
Cang was locked outside the door. For a martial artist who had mastered the art of internal medicine, the iron chain that could have been easily broken seemed to weigh thousands of pounds and was stronger than any wall of steel.
No answer.
Silence.
It's locked here.
Three days later, Cang, who had been standing outside the door waiting for three days, still did not wait for the door of the courtyard to be opened.
Xun Ke and Emperor Chengping both came.
"He left this place unlocked nearly ten years ago, right?"
Emperor Chengping asked carefully.
"Um."
Xun Ke just nodded.
"he"
Emperor Chengping stopped talking as soon as he opened his mouth.
Xun Ke also did not answer.
On that day, passers-by on the street were surprised to see Emperor Chengping, dressed in a dragon robe, bowing three times to a locked courtyard. Beside him stood the leader of Confucianism and a little fat man who looked like he had lost his parents.
How strange and bizarre!
And further away, a figure in a white robe stared at that place silently for a long time.
Then he turned around and walked away without looking back.
I have walked the entire path of the world.
