My brother is so cunning.

Nanfanbuzhou, Central Plains, within the territory of Luo State, a feudal state of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

In the middle of the lush forest, there is a lake with blue water reflecting the sky and floating clouds. There are sparse trees and grass beside the lake, and the field is full of colorful flowers.

There is a small island in the center of the lake that looks like a pearl on a jade plate. On the island stands a bamboo house and a wooden house, decorated with light gauze and feather curtains. It is the leisurely residence of the immortal immortal.

A long-haired man stood in front of the bamboo building with his hands behind his hands, staring into the distance. The man was tall and straight, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and smooth curves. He was wearing a green gauze robe with an elegant hem, as light and free as flowing clouds and flowing water.

The man looks to be in his early thirties, but his face is far younger than that of ordinary men in this backward era. His long hair is like a waterfall in the dark night, reaching his waist and shining with a soft luster. His facial features are deep and three-dimensional, and there is a trace of light between his eyebrows. He has an unruly aura, and his eyes are like the lake in front of him, bright and full of warmth.

His nose is high and straight, giving people a noble and resolute look. A pair of slender eyebrows outline a perfect arc like an ink pen, adding a bit of heroism to his face.

"One day without seeing you is like three autumns. It is another day of missing her. When will Ruoyan come back? It was because I was not good enough that she left me and tortured me with her longing. She knows how to hurt me the most. …”

The man's voice is magnetic and elegant, and occasionally has a little bubble sound. It is just right, making it appear affectionate but not greasy.

If some pregnant girls saw this scene, they would be so moved by his affectionate monologue that they would drool.

This person was Gu Changfeng. After feeling his feelings, he strolled to the lake and looked at the heroic figure reflected in the lake for a while before nodding with satisfaction.

"You must release your spiritual consciousness with all your strength, seize the opportunity of Ruoyan's return, and then read this monologue. If she secretly hides and snoops, she will definitely forgive me after hearing this, oh hehehe."

The man chuckled, took out a stone from his arms, sat by the lake and started grinding it. This stone has begun to take shape, with more than half of a heart shape carved out. The stone is also engraved with the three seal characters "Yan Ruoyan".

This stone is just an ordinary hard stone. Gu Changfeng picked it up casually. When he had time, he planned to grind out a heart-shaped stone with the name of his beloved as a small gift. If he had more time, he would just plate it. This stone was transformed into jade by being nourished with spiritual power, to prove that one's deep love for the Taoist companion reached the level where gold and stone are the same.

Gu Changfeng felt that this little trick of his was really brilliant. He only needed to spend some thought and some free time without wasting a single spiritual stone. Many female monks just liked this trick and received this little gift. They were all moved beyond measure.

After grinding for a while, he seemed to have thought of something, and took out another semi-finished stone. This stone was engraved with "Zhao Qingyun". People have two hands, so of course they can grind two stones. Anyway, if one sheep is driving, so are two sheep. Come on, when grinding a small gift for a Taoist companion, you can also grind out the little lover's share, which can save half the time. Only by doing a good job in time management can you be at ease.

…

Gu Changfeng was in such a good mood that the boring manual grinding seemed to be full of fun and not boring at all.

Extremely talented, a beautiful Taoist couple and lover, a powerful and prestigious master, and a handsome and handsome appearance, he lacks everything and has everything. He only needs time to calm down and practice step by step, and he can achieve it in one step. Step up the ladder to heaven.

To others, that road to the sky is a desperate and dangerous road, but to him it is just a picnic with beautiful women. His master said that he has profound blessings, perfect merits, and the appearance of a heavenly being. He is born to be the envy of others - even if Even a dull person who envy mandarin ducks but not immortals would still be jealous of him.

But no one is perfect, and he only has two regrets in this life.

First, his talents in miscellaneous studies such as music theory, painting, and chess are completely different from his cultivation aptitude. When trying to please a girl, he always feels that there is something missing, and he can only use low-end tricks like grinding stones instead.

Second, his Taoist companion Yan Ruoyan is also a beautiful girl from heaven. She was born in the Yunxiao Immortal Sect and is also a close rival of the Ziyang Immortal Sect, so she can provide a huge boost to his cultivation. However, this woman was jealous, either behind his back or forcing him, and she killed many women who had had romantic relationships with him, so many that he almost lost count.

As one of the most outstanding men in the world, Gu Changfeng definitely does not think that single-mindedness is a good quality. It is just something that the incompetent trash man Gu Ying flaunts to put gold on his face.

The so-called single-mindedness of good-for-nothing men is because they are not in a position to be amorous and cannot bear the risk of being amorous, so they do it as a last resort.

Adults don't make choices. Gu Changfeng has been an adult for more than four hundred years. How can he live like a child?

Yan Ruoyan, who is beautiful and fragrant, is indeed the white moonlight and cinnabar mole in the eyes of countless monks, but to him, it has long been rice sticks and mosquito blood. He maintains this relationship because he is afraid of offending the sect behind Yan Ruoyan. The Yunxiao Immortal Sect will not be able to reap any more benefits in the future.

The Ziyang Immortal Sect was founded by the True Monarch who taught the pure virtues of the Twelve Golden Immortals, while the Yunxiao Immortal Sect was founded by Chi Jingzhi, who was also a Twelve Golden Immortal. The marriage between Gu and Yan also contains certain political factors, but they cannot be divorced just by thinking about it. away.

Gu Changfeng didn't think there was anything wrong with him. He had not yet overcome the catastrophe and became an immortal. What's wrong with being a bit human and suffering from the disease of an ordinary person?

So what if he becomes an immortal? In addition to the Queen Mother's main palace, doesn't the Jade Emperor also raise a Chang'e in the Guanghan Palace?

What the superior likes, the subordinates will like even more. The Lord of Heaven takes the lead, and the subordinates follow suit. Practitioners originally pay attention to "Dharma, companions, wealth and land". The more of each, the better. More companions are beneficial to cultivation.

Just as he was happily grinding his heart, Gu Changfeng's heart suddenly jumped, and he subconsciously dodged. Almost by a hair's breadth, a spiral shuttle with amazing speed hit the position where he was before. The shuttle brushed his cheek, leaving a blood mark on his handsome face.

"Bang!"

A deep hole was drilled in the ground, and a dull sound came from a distance. Gu Changfeng felt his scalp tingling. If he had not realized the realm of "Sword Heart Clear" a year ago, this blow would have been too late to react, and his head would have been blown up.

The spiritual awareness of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage can cover a range of 20 miles. In order to ensure that he can seize the time to perform when Yan Ruoyan returns, Gu Changfeng has spread his spiritual awareness to the extreme, covering a range of 30 miles, but even within a range of 30 miles, he did not sense the whereabouts of the person who shot the shuttle to kill him.

When his spiritual awareness did not detect the enemy, Gu Changfeng immediately responded. He took out an ancient sword box with a slap on his bag, put the sword box on his back and made a sword gesture, and four flying swords flew out of the box and circled around him.

Although Gu Changfeng looks a bit like an embroidered pillow, his skills are not bad. Otherwise, how could he indulge in flowers for hundreds of years with just a pretty face and the trick of grinding small stones?

This trick of controlling the sword with the mind is also a high-level flying sword control technique that He Lingyun can hardly master even if he practices for another ten years.

Although his spiritual sense did not detect the person who attacked, Gu Changfeng, who was experienced in combat, had already rushed towards the direction of the shuttle attack. However, he did not choose to fly in the air, which was a faster way to approach. Instead, he took the Eight Diagrams Dragon Step close to the ground, and his running trajectory was twisting and turning without a trace.

Flying in the air would make him a living target. Turning in the air was not flexible enough. Only by keeping his feet on the ground and performing snake-like maneuvers was the best choice to avoid the sniping of this super-high-speed shuttle.

As he expected, several more shuttles broke through the air, brushing against his side and drilling deep holes in the ground. If he hesitated for a moment, he would be shot through by the shuttle whose speed had far exceeded the realm of "Silent Thunder".

The enemy's attack range was still beyond Gu Changfeng's perception distance. If this dilemma of being locked by the beyond-visual-range attack was not solved as soon as possible, he would suffer a loss if he was careless.

Sword cultivators tend to be high-attack and low-defense. Gu Changfeng did not intend to cast defensive spells to resist the shuttle. First, the shuttle's attack frequency was so dense that he had no time to chant spells. Second, he was not good at defensive spells. The spiral shuttle had amazing penetration, and he was not sure whether it would easily penetrate the shield condensed by magic power.

The key to winning the battle of sword cultivators was to rely on mobility to approach the enemy as quickly as possible and kill the enemy before the enemy hurt himself.

The Eight Trigrams Dragon Step combined with the Earth Evil Shrinking Step, it only took ten breaths to run thirty miles, but Gu Changfeng still did not sense the location of the opponent. He was startled and stopped, not daring to move forward, and just circled in place. If the incoming shuttle was really unavoidable, he would control the flying swords around his side to meet it, and calculate the trajectory to cut it down in the air.

When the flying sword and the shuttle collide, a dazzling spark will explode. The flying sword, which is already a high-level spiritual weapon (a spiritual weapon is one level lower than a spiritual treasure), can only cut off three flying shuttle blades at most before it can't withstand the huge spiral force and breaks.

Gu Changfeng pinched the sword formula again, and a new flying sword flew out of the ancient sword box on his back to replenish the consumption. When one sword was broken, another sword flew out, and a stalemate was formed.

The reason why Gu Changfeng didn't dare to move forward was coincidental. The heart-shaped stone he grinded was collected from the surrounding area of ​​​​this place, so he was familiar with the terrain. He accidentally noticed something wrong when he chased here. There were traces of slight human modification of the terrain and vegetation. The traces were covered up and could not be seen at all without carefulness. He immediately became alert and concentrated his spiritual consciousness to explore and found that the front was a minefield, with dense trap arrays and countless strange spherical magic weapons.

If he rushed through without noticing the abnormality, he would crash into the trap array and fall into the enemy's trap.

Cold sweat flowed down Gu Changfeng's forehead, knowing that this battle was extremely dangerous and might be the closest fight to death in his life.

Before he even met the enemy, he was forced to make two life-or-death choices. He was still alive half by luck. If he hadn't picked up the stone here, he would have fallen into the trap.

In addition to being horrified, Gu Changfeng couldn't help but feel suspicious, wondering who this professional assassin who attacked without warning, who had obviously planned for a long time, and who was ruthless and murderous, was?
