Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 81: One Flower, One Leaf, One Life, One Death
In the restaurant, with the appearance of Qiao Yanran and her group, they quickly attracted everyone's attention, and they sighed that there were such beauties in the world. And as they left, it seemed that someone recognized the identity of the Baihua Girl of Yunxiao Sect, and immediately showed excitement, and sighed again that this girl was worthy of being a fairy on earth.
Instead, no one paid attention to Gu Xiaoxing anymore.
"Brother, what is your connection with this Fairy of Flowers?" Zhang Dixin asked with a smile, as if he had discovered something from Gu Xiaoxing's expression.
"No, no, Brother Zhang, don't talk nonsense!" Gu Xiaoxing said quickly, thinking that if the other party didn't go far and remembered something after hearing this, he would definitely turn around and give him a Heart-Breaking Palm!
Then, Gu Xiaoxing came closer and asked, "Can I ask Brother Zhang to tell my fortune again?"
"I wonder what you want to do, brother?" Zhang Dixin did not refuse and took a sip from the wine glass.
Gu Xiaoxing's eyes narrowed as he said, "Life and death!"
Zhang Dixin smiled bitterly upon hearing this and said, "This way of divination is derived from the law of fate. What you see is just like a dream, life and death are just a thin line away, like dew or lightning. You can't make vain guesses. Brother, all things should be viewed in this way..."
Gu Xiaoxing blinked and thought to himself, if you can't figure it out, then you can't figure it out. It's like saying nothing at all after talking about it in mysterious ways for so long.
"But..." Suddenly, Zhang Dixin changed the subject and said, "I have something to say. If you can understand it, you may be able to escape this disaster."
"What?"
"One flower, one leaf, one floating dust; one life, one death, one green lamp."
Gu Xiaoxing was startled, not quite understanding, and said, "What do you mean? Please explain clearly, what green lanterns and flowers?"
Zhang Dixin had already stood up, raised his glass and smiled, saying: "Brother Youyuan, this flower is not that flower, both are man-eating plants. I have said all, drink this glass to honor Youyuan."
After saying this, regardless of the other party's puzzled look, Zhang Dixin drank it all in one gulp, said goodbye, and left.
Gu Xiaoxing's mind was full of question marks. He didn't understand a word he heard, but he didn't chase after it. At this time, some food came up, which diverted his attention and he immediately started to eat it.
Outside the restaurant, Zhang Dixin was walking on the street with a frown on his face. His eyes were dark and deep, as if they could deduce endless things.
"What is birth and death, what is floating dust..." But the deduction seemed to have no answer in the end. Finally, Zhang Dixin smiled helplessly and murmured as if mocking himself: "I can't see through it, I can't see through it! The destined person... is interesting, so let's take a closer look!"
If Gu Xiaoxing heard this, he would definitely be very angry and curse you as a charlatan, saying that you don’t even understand anything and yet you come out to talk nonsense and scare people!
But at this moment Gu Xiaoxing had already sunk into the temptation of delicious food. He finally understood why the food in this restaurant was so expensive, because these were not ordinary food. Not only the big fish and meat, but even the vegetable soup was wrapped in a layer of misty air. It was worthy of being a big restaurant in the city of cultivation. He was very happy while eating.
"Do you know what Zhang Dixin meant?" Gu Xiaoxing asked the coffin inside his body while eating.
The coffin was silent at first, and seemed to think for a moment before saying, "I didn't quite understand the rest, but this green lamp..."
"What's wrong with Qingdeng?" Gu Xiaoxing asked hurriedly.
"Nothing." Coffin didn't want to say anything.
"Are you sick? Why are you imitating those fortune tellers who always speak half of their words in mysterious ways?" Gu Xiaoxing said angrily.
"Boy, please be aware of your identity and be polite when talking to Master Coffin."
The next moment, Gu Xiaoxing's eyes rolled around, and he really became "polite". He chuckled and said, "Master Guan, you see, we are now on the same side. How about you teach me another true magical power? With more means, not only can I better protect my life, but you can also worry less, right?"
What this means is that only if I am alive and well can you hide in my body with peace of mind!
However, Guan Gua did not buy his trick and said, "I told you, the Sutra of Rebirth in the Previous Life is the supreme and true magical power!"
"Even if it's true, it's useless if you can't learn it!"
"Of course I can't. The master has implanted the entire scripture into your soul. You don't need to learn it at all. You will gradually master it."
"But it's been eight years, what do I control?" Gu Xiaoxing was helpless. The scripture was still in his memory, clear as day, but no matter how much he studied it, it was useless and he blurted it all out in one go.
After hearing this, Guan Gu also seemed confused and asked, "Really no reaction at all?"
"Really not!"
"Okay, I'll find a chance to show you." At this point, Guan Gua suddenly said, "Tell me, what do you want to learn? I don't have the supreme magical power, but I do have a few great magical powers."
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned and even stopped eating for a moment, as if he didn't expect that the broken coffin would actually agree. Then he asked excitedly: "Is there a magical power... that can make you fat?"
"Hmm?" Coffin paused, "That's it?"
When Gu Xiaoxing heard that there was a play, he immediately said excitedly: "Yes, that's it!"
"What does this have to do with saving your life?"
"Don't worry about it, just let me know if you have any!"
"No."
"you……!"
"Although I don't have the ability to get fat, I do have the ability to shrink everything in the world, which can be considered a life-saving ability. You're lucky."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Gu Xiaoxing's consent, a faint light flashed from the coffin, and a magical scripture slowly emerged on the coffin lid.
"Boy, this is the magical power of Fang Cun, remember it well."
The magical power of a small space?
Gu Xiaoxing's heart moved, and his spiritual consciousness swept through the coffin in his body, and had imprinted the entire scripture on it.
"A square inch of magical power, a square inch of land, full of magical power..." Gu Xiaoxing read the imprinted magical power carefully and felt familiar with it. It seemed that the square inch step was born from this magical power, so he asked, "Did you also teach Zhou Shoutai this magical power?"
Guan Gu said: "I did teach you a little bit about footwork, but it's not complete."
Gu Xiaoxing suddenly realized that it was no wonder that when the opponent performed the Fang Cun Step at the Foundation Establishment Mountain, his footwork was different from his which relied entirely on brute force. It turned out that it was derived from a magical power.
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxing thought of something and said, "Didn't your master say that he didn't accept Zhou Shoutai as his disciple? Why did he say that I was the second true disciple when he taught me my magical powers?"
"Because there is the first true disciple before you." Guan Gua said confidently.
Gu Xiaoxing was speechless, thinking, could you please stop talking nonsense? However, since he had just received a benefit, he did not dare to go too far, so he asked in a gentle voice, "Who is it?"
"It's the enemy who came looking for her. He's hiding from her!"
“…”
Gu Xiaoxing was speechless for a moment, but he couldn't help but say, "You two, the master and the servant, really taught two good disciples. It's all a bad fate!"
At this moment, in the restaurant, Gu Xiaoxing's table was already piled with plates, which made people around him look at him with contempt, wondering where this barbarian boy came from.
However, Gu Xiaoxing has always been thick-skinned and didn't care at all. He continued to enjoy the food. With his current cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation building, he actually no longer needs to rely on food to survive, but he just likes it.
Plate after plate of delicacies from land and sea were eaten and digested immediately. Although these spiritual dishes were full of spiritual energy, they were only beneficial to those low-level Qi Condensation cultivators. To him, this amount of spiritual energy was only negligible, but the taste was delicious!
Just when Gu Xiaoxing had almost finished eating and was about to leave, a huge spiritual consciousness suddenly descended from the sky.
The divine consciousness of the elixir!
He immediately determined that it must be the previous Jindan who was chasing after him. He quickly scanned with his spiritual sense and did not seem to find anything unusual on Gu Xiaoxing, so he did not stop.
Not only Gu Xiaoxing, almost all the people in this restaurant were cultivators. Their faces changed and they noticed something. After the divine consciousness completely dissipated, they began to discuss.
"This Jindan consciousness dares to explore so recklessly in Yunfeng City. It must be a certain supreme elder of the Refining Body Sect."
"During this special period, even the Grand Elder of the Body Refining Sect would not dare to investigate so casually unless there was something urgent. After all, there are more than ten Jindan masters in Yunfeng City now ."
Although Gu Xiaoxing did not release his spiritual sense, his hearing was so amazing that he immediately heard some clues. He continued to listen and found out that the Body Refining Sect seemed to be holding a grand event in the near future. For this purpose, it also invited the geniuses of various major sects and forces. However, Gu Xiaoxing did not understand what the event was exactly.
"I heard that the Body Refining Sect also invited the Soul Devouring Sect this time..."
Gu Xiaoxing moved his ears and listened carefully.
"The Soul Devouring Sect that has a top-grade spiritual treasure?"
"Besides this Soul Devouring Sect, which other Soul Devouring Sect is there? Speaking of this sect, it's no wonder that it was able to rank among the top ten in Xiaohuang within 200 years of its establishment. The top-grade spiritual treasures are equivalent to the incarnation of the spirit..."
"Shut up, have you forgotten the elders' instructions?" someone scolded in a low voice.
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned for a moment, and then he said cautiously to his body, "Master Guan, are you a god?"
"What else? Why do you think I was able to scare those forces that were out to suppress the Soul-Devouring Sect?" A half-smiley voice came from the coffin.
"Haha... the coffin master is mighty!" Gu Xiaoxing's smile was somewhat stiff. He had always thought that this broken coffin was just an inferior spiritual treasure, or at most a medium-level spiritual treasure, equivalent to the perfect cultivation of the Nascent Soul. He never expected that it was a real high-grade spiritual treasure, equivalent to the master in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation!
The man who was scolded earlier smiled awkwardly and stopped talking about the spiritual treasure, but soon continued: "Have you heard that in recent years, this Soul Devouring Sect has risen a genius who can rival the young masters of the three major sects..."
"I have actually heard of this. I remember her name was Lu Ling'er. According to rumors, she is not only talented, but also extremely beautiful. She can be called one of the three fairies of Xiaohuang together with Qiao Yanran and Xu Qianxing..."
Gu Xiaoxing blinked, with a hint of longing in his eyes. He thought that seven years had passed, and the little girl should have grown up. He just didn't know what she looked like. To be compared with Qiao Yanran, she must have grown ugly. It seemed that she didn't listen to her brother...
"I say...when you are thinking about something, can you please not express it with your spiritual consciousness in your body? It sounds disgusting to me." Coffin suddenly said with a look of disgust.
