In that distant little black house

Zhang Jingmo's Huo Rong Pill allowed him to rest for three months before his body recovered.

During these three months, Zhang Jingmo was just like a mortal, with no aura in his body.Zhang Jingmo also knew that in order to refine the Huorong Pill, he had hurt his roots, and he would need to take care of himself slowly if he wanted to recover.

However, there is not so much time left for Zhang Jingmo. He plans to take Lu Guijiu to Youdong to find the "Blood Prison Book" that belongs to Lu Guijiu after winter.

When Lu Guijiu got this strange book, he was also in the Qi refining period.It's just that at that time, he was in his 20s and only reached the peak of the fourth level of the Qi refining period, which was about the same as his current cultivation level.

Taoist Cen's apprentice, who had a feud with Zhang Jingmo, entered the Tao at the age of six, and it took him five years to reach the fourth floor of the Qi Refining Stage.

Now Lu Guijiu is also 11 years old, but he is already at the peak of the fourth level of the Qi refining period.

The fourth floor and the peak of the fourth floor, although there are only a few more words, it is more than ten years.Zhang Jingmo clearly remembered that when Lu Guijiu was in his 20s, he surpassed Taoist Cen's disciples.

Not to mention the 11-year-old little monster now.

Zhang Jingmo's refinement of Huo Rong Pill not only caused a sensation to the Lingxu Sect, but even other sects came to inquire after seeing the vision, wanting to know who was so capable to refine Huo Rong Pill.

The leader was very considerate and stopped these people for Zhang Jingmo, and did not let anyone disturb Zhang Jingmo who was recuperating.One month after the elixir was born, he brought some elixir to visit Zhang Jingmo, but he didn't ask where Huo Rongdan had gone, presumably it was Bai Lingxiao who greeted him.

Since no one was bothering him, Zhang Jingmo put all his energy into cultivating his body.Although he had been to the secluded cave before, and even found out how to obtain the "Blood Prison Book", he still didn't dare to trust it.After all, there are some subtle differences in every life, and a single negligence can make these seemingly insignificant things take life.

Zhang Jingmo has suffered enough, and he doesn't want to capsize on such a matter.

Besides, "Blood Prison Heavenly Book", this strange book can be said to be a great foundation of Lu Guijiu's strength. It is not that Zhang Jingmo did not think about cultivation at the beginning, but he soon discovered that only the ten supreme spiritual roots can practice this strange book , even if he got the book, it was no different from getting a stack of waste paper.

In this case, Zhang Jingmo had no choice but to find another way out, but he tried thousands of times and failed thousands of times.Finally, I have to admit that in this world, there is a kind of person called a genius, who can match the hard work of others in a few lifetimes in just a few decades.

Lu Guijiu wasn't the only one who was preparing to travel with Zhang Jingmo.Ever since he saw Zhang Jingmo's hair turned white due to alchemy, his whole body was shocked.

In Lu Guijiu's eyes, the master's alchemy is to make money to support his family, he must become stronger as soon as possible, so that he can add his own strength, so that Zhang Jingmo will not be so tired.

Zhang Jingmo didn't know what Lu Guijiu was thinking. He thought that Lu Guijiu's cultivation should remain at the peak of the fourth floor until he set off.However, to his surprise, on the second day after Luoxue, Lu Guijiu broke through again.

Zhang Jingmo was meditating, but he suddenly felt a strange fluctuation of spiritual energy. After a little investigation, he knew what happened, and his eyes could not help showing a look of astonishment.

Lu Guijiu broke through easily, not forcibly improving his cultivation for speed.After he broke through, he felt pain all over his body, and couldn't help but fell on the bed, moaning weakly.

Zhang Jingmo walked into the house, hugged Lu Guijiu, and then used his spiritual power to relieve Lu Guijiu's pain, he said: "Hold it."

After the fifth level of the Qi refining period, the body constitution will be changed layer by layer, refining the body from the outside to the inside.And when the top layer of the Qi refining period reaches the foundation establishment, it is the last step, refining the dantian.

Lu Guijiu entered the fifth floor, so there was some pain, but the pain was inevitable, Zhang Jingmo could only watch, but he couldn't help.

After Lu Guijiu was in pain, his whole body relaxed, but it seemed as if a layer of skin had peeled off. Feeling the lightness and comfort of his body, he rubbed his head against Zhang Jingmo who was holding him, and said in his mouth: " Master... so comfortable."

Zhang Jingmo said with a smile: "Mud monkey, hurry up and wash up."

Lu Guijiu looked down, only to find that he was covered in dirt, and he blushed in embarrassment.

Zhang Jingmo was not too dirty, picked up Lu Guijiu and walked to the bathing place, and then threw Lu Guijiu into the spiritual spring.

Lu Guijiu buried his head in washing the dirt on his body, and after he washed it off, he called out to Zhang Jingmo: "Master, come and wash it too."

Zhang Jingmo said: "I won't wash it anymore, you should strengthen your foundation in this spiritual spring." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, with a look of relaxation on his brows.

According to Lu Guijiu's development speed, Zhang Jingmo's confidence in the future is even stronger...

Because of Lu Guijiu's unexpected breakthrough, Zhang Jingmo's trip had to be postponed.

It is now late November, a thin snow has just fallen in the sky, and the entire Lingxu Sect is also covered in a layer of silver.

During the waiting period, Zhang Jingmo's friends came to him for drinks a few more times, and after knowing that Lu Guijiu had reached the fifth level of the Qi refining stage, he also called "monster" several times.But in the end, he was a little worried about Zhang Jingmo.

Zhang Jingmo laughed and said, "Why are you worried about me, who wouldn't want to have such an apprentice?"

Yu Fen shook his head, and sighed: "Disasters are the blessings that depend on the blessings, and the misfortunes are the ones..."

Zhang Jingmo said: "Why did you say that?"

Yu Fen said: "I asked that fortune teller to make a fortune a few days ago."

Zhang Jingmo said: "Oh?" The fortune teller Yu Fen said was a monk who specialized in hexagrams, and the price of doing fortune-telling was extremely high, but his calculations were extremely accurate.

Yu Fen said: "The hexagram this time is... a big ominous one."

Zhang Jingmo drank the wine in front of him, stroked the wine glass with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Whether it's bad luck or good luck, you have to do what you have to do. If you don't listen to what you say, I will expel him from the division." door."

Yu Fen also felt that it made sense when he heard the words, he shook his head and said nothing.

In fact, Zhang Jingmo was a little helpless with his good friend. He knew what kind of path Yu Fen was going to take, and he tried to stop it, but he failed almost every time... Seeing Yu Fen becoming more and more disinterested in cultivation, his heart Apart from sighing, he couldn't think of anything to do.

Cultivating immortals is also cultivating the mind, and cultivating the mind can almost only depend on oneself.You still can’t figure out something that others have told you ten thousand times. Only when the time comes, will you suddenly get enlightened and realize it.

But when that time will come, no one knows.

Counting the days while drinking some wine, Zhang Jingmo waited for two months, and finally at the beginning of February, he and Lu Guijiu joined the Lingxu Sect.

He told everyone that he wanted to take Lu Guijiu to see all kinds of things in the world, but he didn't tell anyone the destination of the trip.

Bai Lingxiao got the Huo Rong Pill and had already retreated. After Zhang Jingmo and Yu Fen drank the last time, they took Lu Guijiu and flew out of the mountain gate.

It was freezing cold at this time, and Lu Guijiu, who was still a boy, was wearing a red padded jacket. Although he didn't look like a New Year picture doll, he looked a bit like Nezha in the picture book.

Lu Guijiu didn't know where Zhang Jingmo was taking him, and he didn't intend to ask, anyway, in his heart, the person who would harm him the most in the world was his master.

Youdong is a bit far from Lingxu Sect, but every year Lingxu Sect will send some disciples to search for herbs in Youdong.

Because the level of the spirit beasts in the cave is not high, a special kind of herbal medicine will be produced, which has a lot of coldness, which is the best choice for refining general cold medicine.

Back then Zhang Jingmo didn't love Lu Guijiu as much as he does now.Lu Guijiu had to accept missions from the sect every year in exchange for spirit stones.

And after he entered the secluded cave one time, he fell into another tunnel by accident... Then, he got the "Blood Hell Heavenly Book".

Zhang Jingmo had never encountered this kind of luck in ten lifetimes.

At this time, the cold winter was not over, and there was a bitter wind blowing in the secluded cave.In this season, few sect disciples usually come to gather medicine, because it is too cold and too dangerous, and Zhang Jingmo precisely pinpointed this time, planning to find the "Blood Prison Book" when no one is around.

The master and apprentice walked for more than ten days, and finally arrived at the gate of the secluded cave.

In front of the cave, Zhang Jingmo handed Lu Guijiu a pill and told him to keep it in his mouth after entering the cave.

Lu Guijiu didn't even ask what kind of pill it was, so he obediently held it in his hand.

Zhang Jingmo said again: "There are some ghosts in this secluded cave, who will turn into the appearance of your deceased relatives. You must not panic when the time comes, the teacher is by your side."

Lu Guijiu nodded.

Zhang Jingmo glanced into the cave, then took Lu Guijiu's hand, and stepped into the secluded cave step by step.

In fact, Zhang Jingmo can find "Blood Prison Book" without Lu Guijiu during this trip to the secluded cave, but firstly he wants to train Lu Guijiu to prepare for the Xuanwu Conference in a few years, and secondly, this secluded cave is It was an excellent environment for practicing "Blood Prison Book", so he took Lu Guijiu with him.

As soon as he entered the secluded cave, even though he was protected by aura, he still felt a chill. Zhang Jingmo took Lu Guijiu's hand and walked in step by step.

Outside the cave is howling wind and snow, although there is not a single snowflake in the cave, it makes people feel chills from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhang Jingmo was afraid that Lu Guijiu would be frozen, so he made Zhu Yan's little sparrow land on Lu Guijiu's shoulder. Lu Guijiu glanced at the chirping bird, then looked away again.

The cave is deep and winding, and the road winds like a complicated maze. Zhang Jingmo is walking forward step by step, but he is counting something in his mouth. If Lu Guijiu can see Zhang Jingmo's face at this time, he will find that his master is almost Is walking with eyes closed.

Lu Guijiu's small hand firmly held Zhang Jingmo's big hand. After entering the cave, he looked around curiously from time to time, curious about everything that was unknown.

However, after walking hundreds of steps, Lu Guijiu suddenly tightened Zhang Jingmo's hand, as if he saw something strange.

Zhang Jingmo noticed Lu Guijiu's strangeness, but he didn't take it seriously.He didn't know that Lu Guijiu had memories of his mother since he was a child, so he thought that a child who had never seen death in his teens would probably not be affected by ghosts.

However, at this moment, Lu Guijiu saw a woman in white clothes following him, calling faintly: "Puijiu, Guijiu, my son, my son..."

Lu Guijiu gasped for breath, and held Zhang Jingmo's hand even tighter. He watched his mother's face start to rot, and pieces of flesh and blood fell off. Maggots emerged from the eyes and nostrils. Her face floated closer and closer. It was almost stuck on Lu Guijiu's face.

Lu Guijiu's face was pale, but he didn't say a word. The cold sweat on his hands made Zhang Jing realize that something was wrong. Zhang Jingmo stopped, lowered his head and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Lu Guijiu stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, then slowly shook his head.

Zhang Jingmo asked, "Is it cold?" Seeing Lu Guijiu's face turned pale and his lips tightly pressed together, he thought it was too cold, so he asked Zhu Yan to heat up the spirit fire.

Only then did Lu Guijiu feel a little warmth. He looked at the gentle face of his master, and then at the face of his dead mother, then his eyes sank, and he followed Zhang Jingmo step by step to continue walking in.

The woman's face was still changing, sometimes mournful and sometimes angry, but Lu Guijiu's face turned better, his eyes had passed through the phantom transformed by the ghost, and turned to the unknown distance.

Zhang Jingmo led Lu Guijiu to a stone wall. It was clearly a dead end, but Zhang Jingmo took Lu Guijiu's hand and stepped in.

Lu Guijiu's eyes were still open, although he was slightly startled when he saw this, he suppressed the cry in his mouth.

Passing through the wall, Lu Guijiu stared and saw a narrow path appearing in front of him. The path was only the width of a palm. Under the path, there was an endless black abyss.

Lu Guijiu's heart was shaken, and he couldn't help but paused. He was hesitating, but he heard Zhang Jingmo say: "Close your eyes."

Lu Guijiu closed his eyes obediently, but the hand holding Zhang Jingmo became tighter and tighter.

Zhang Jingmo thought that Lu Guijiu was really just an 11-year-old child, and it was normal for him to be a little scared when he saw these scenes. He bent down to pick Lu Guijiu up, and then stepped onto the path with a calm expression.

In the abyss under the path, there was a wailing sound like a woman's cry, which made Lu Guijiu's heart tremble and his whole body trembled.

Zhang Jingmo had already expected this situation, and said, "Take the elixir I gave you."

Hearing Zhang Jingmo's voice, Lu Guijiu pursed his lips, took out the pill from his sleeve, and stuffed it into his mouth.

As soon as the elixir was taken in, Lu Guijiu felt a heat surge in his body, and the heat flowed down his throat to his dantian, and the body that had been cold from crying warmed up again.

Zhang Jingmo said: "Gujiu, the road ahead is a hundred times more difficult and dangerous than this one. This time, a teacher will accompany and protect you, but you will have to walk the road ahead alone."

Lu Guijiu didn't know what Zhang Jingmo meant, he just grabbed Zhang Jingmo's lapel tightly, and said in a low voice, "Master, I don't want to leave you."

Zhang Jingmo said nothing, just reached out and gently touched Lu Guijiu's head.

Lu Guijiu buried his face in Zhang Jingmo's chest, feeling the steady beating of his master's heart. The cold wind and shrill cry seemed to be unable to affect him anymore.

After the path, there was a flat land, where Zhang Jingmo pushed Lu Guijiu down.

Lu Guijiu felt that his feet had stepped on the flat ground, so he opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Jingmo's face. For some reason, Lu Guijiu wanted to go up to him and kiss the corner of his master's beautiful mouth.

Zhang Jingmo said: "Guijiu, are you afraid?"

Lu Guijiu looked at the path behind him, but shook his head.

Zhang Jingmo said: "Aren't you afraid?"

Lu Guijiu retreated from his serious fear, he said: "If Master is not around, I will not be afraid."

Zhang Jingmo felt a little funny when he heard this, he said: "Why are you afraid when I'm by your side?"

Lu Guijiu said: "Because I know that if I am afraid, Master will protect me." When he said this, his eyes were shining, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Zhang Jingmo.

However, the smile on Zhang Jingmo's face faded when he heard these words, and he thought of Lu Guijiu in the first life.

At that time, Lu Guijiu was only in his 20s, and had just reached the fourth floor of the Qi refining period.The relationship between him and Zhang Jingmo is not very good, and because of his weird fate, his life in the Lingxu Sect was not comfortable.

Without Zhang Jingmo by his side, he still walked through this abyss path alone, and headed towards a more difficult road, moving forward bravely.

Zhang Jingmo looked at the little Lu Guijiu beside him, but what appeared in his mind was the silent face of Lu Guijiu in that world.For a moment, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.Since Zhang Jingmojue's rebirth this time, something seems wrong with him, but he can't tell what's wrong.

Zhang Jingmo held Lu Guijiu's hand again, and said, "Guijiu, the road ahead will be even more difficult. Do you want Master to hold you?"

Lu Guijiu shook his head, he said, "No more."

Zhang Jingmo smiled and said: "Master will accompany you for a while, and the rest of the way, can you come by yourself?"

Lu Guijiu didn't understand why Zhang Jingmo brought him here, but asked him to walk the last part of the way, but he still nodded obediently, like a good boy who wants to win the favor of adults.

Zhang Jingmo also said softly like Lu Guijiu, "Good boy."

He took Lu Guijiu's hand and walked step by step, and soon came to an open space. At first glance, the open space looked ordinary, but if one looked upwards, one would see countless human skulls inlaid on it , Zhang Jingmo stood still and threw a piece of gravel into the open space.

As soon as the gravel fell to the ground, the skull on the top also fell down, forcibly smashing out a huge hole.

Zhang Jingmo said: "Guijiu, this is the formation of five elements and eight trigrams, do you want to learn?"

Lu Guijiu nodded without hesitation.

Zhang Jingmo said again: "Even if you have been away from me for decades, do you still want to learn?"

Lu Guijiu was about to say no, but saw Zhang Jingmo's half-smile expression. He had an intuition that if he said no, his master would be very upset.

So, Lu Guijiu nodded hesitantly and slowly.

Seeing this, Zhang Jingmo smiled again, he knew that Lu Guijiu...would not let him down.
