Destiny is ashes

Chapter 140 You Can’t Lose Every Time (Thanks to the Alliance Leader Wuyousang for Not Being Sad)

Gu Yunzhi had a red face, thick eyebrows and a long beard, and was tall and strong.

Although his hair and beard were all gray, his eyes were sparkling, and it was obvious that he had a very high level of cultivation.

Dachen's 'Heavenly Official Holding the Talisman' can grant corresponding supernatural powers to the officials holding the Talisman, but the person who grants the Talisman can also practice on his own to raise his cultivation to the peak of his rank.

Although this level of cultivation will be taken back when the magic talisman is taken back, civil and military officials who want to make further progress will improve their own cultivation in order to adapt to the current realm as soon as possible after being granted a higher magic talisman.

This is a dignified and wise elder, and also a capable and battle-hardened soldier.

Gu Yeqi observed him carefully.

The old man also allowed her to observe, and even spread his arms and turned slightly to let the girl see clearly.

"What did you see?" he asked.

"You've been waiting for me for a long time," she replied.

"It's been a long time indeed." He nodded: "Any more?"

"Your shawl is covered with snow crystals, your roof is covered with hoarfrost, but there are no footprints."

"You've been waiting alone for a long time. You were missing someone, thinking about something - but it has nothing to do with me."

Gu Yeqi shook his head: "So I am confused...Grandpa. Why are you waiting for me?"

“I don’t think I’m that important.”

"You are indeed not important." Gu Yunzhi said.

The old man stopped talking, but Gu Yeqi suddenly burst into tears.

"Is it father?"

She whispered, "Father..."

"He died right where you are standing, severing his own heart veins."

Gu Yunzhi said: "I didn't want to save you, as long as your father is alive."

"Even if he is a runaway waste, he is still the blood of our Gu family. I don't expect him to do anything. He just wants to have more children and have more children."

"As for you..."

Having said this, he paused, then stroked his beard and said, "I never thought that a piece of stubborn stone escaping into the wilderness could produce beautiful jade."

"What else did you notice?"

"I can see that the Gu family has no descendants."

Looking up, Gu Yeqi wiped away her tears, her eyes showing a hint of ruthlessness: "My uncles and aunts, I'm afraid they are all dead, right? Either because of the war, or because of your stubbornness, Grandpa."

"In short, they are all dead, all of them. So you have to go find your father. And in order to save me, or in other words, he didn't want to be a tool for you to continue the family bloodline, so he chose to commit suicide."

The old man raised his eyebrows: "You are still willing to call me grandpa."

"Of course, Grandpa." Gu Yeqi laughed at this moment, but there was no hint of joy in his smile. "Including my father, if any of them were still alive, how could I have returned to the Gu family and received your attention? From a courtesy, I am very sad. From a logical point of view, I am very fortunate."

"Aren't you afraid that I will capture you and use you as a breeding tool?"

"I have learned martial arts. I can also sever my own heart meridians." Gu Yeqi said frankly: "If you can stop me from committing suicide, Grandpa, then I can do it too." "But." She thought of the shadow who raised the sword without hesitation, and said resolutely: "I will resist. Whether I succeed or not, I will definitely resist."

"I think, Grandpa, you don't want things to turn out like this, right?"

"Good. The demon cub raised by the demon sect is indeed cruel enough."

The old man finally smiled happily at this moment: "Good people die because of virtue, and bad people are better than poison. It is true."

He turned around, shook off the frost and snow on his body, and faced the slowly setting sun in the distance: "My Hanhai Gu family has been loyal for generations. We believe that we can serve the country and bring peace to the people, and we are worthy of the people under the rule of the country and the court."

"But after being dragged into the court turmoil, my bloodline was almost cut off. This is my fault, and I will take full responsibility for it."

"For the mission passed down from generation to generation in our Gu family, the bloodline cannot be cut off, and you cannot die. In order to prevent you from dying in the storm, I will teach you the "Great Big Dipper Snake Heart Hundred Refining Method" that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Hanhai Gu family."

"After the war in the Northern Frontier ends, I will send you to the territory of the Five Sects of Chen Li."

"I was originally wondering if a wild girl like you, who was born in the mountains, could survive there. Now I think I was worrying too much."

"Grandpa dares to gamble."

Gu Yeqi stared at the old man's back: "Aren't you afraid of losing again this time?"

"Ha." The old gambler said, "I can't lose every time."

Zhuoyu Pass, the main camp of the Four Guards.

"Calm down and be quiet! You must completely empty your mind before you can start to visualize!"

"Yes, that's right. Visualize a rusty sword in your mind... Why a rusty sword? That's what Brother Jing taught me. You can ask him when the time comes!"

"If it doesn't work, just treat it as a sleep. I don't ask you to learn it now, but it shouldn't be difficult, right?"

In a separate barracks, a young man walked out of the camp gate, sat on a wooden stake and looked up at the snow: "Finally I've finished teaching... It doesn't seem that difficult, why can't so many people learn it?"

The boy was about eleven or twelve years old, with slightly delicate features but a very heroic figure. He had small pupils with a lot of white in his eyes, and looked a little fierce, but after getting to know him after getting to know him, he was devoted to martial arts and was very easy to get along with.

After teaching the other Sons of Disaster the 'Rusty Sword Visualization Method' taught by An Jing, Cang Linzu felt exhausted and came out to rest for a while.

"I really don't understand how Big Brother remembers everyone's characteristics and arranges different training for everyone... Even when I was in the martial arts academy, I didn't have such good treatment!"

Complaining in his heart, Canglinzu shook his head, patted his face, and cheered himself up: "No matter what the future holds, training cannot stop... Even if we become refugees again, with our current strength, ordinary horse bandits will definitely not be able to return!"

Ever since the Sons of Disaster were brought back to the camp by the Dachen Red Armor Guards and escorted all the way back to the Vast Sea, they have been placed, or in other words, under house arrest, in the camp of the Four Guards.

After An Jing left, Gu Yeqi was also taken away. Since everyone had nothing to do, they simply continued to practice martial arts.

Although most of the surviving sons of disaster have not awakened their destiny, they are all first-class in terms of martial arts talent. They have already mastered the two martial arts that Xuanming Manor once taught, so there is no point in practicing them.

Cang Linzu thought of An Jing's instructions before he left, so he taught the 'Rusty Sword Visualization Method' to everyone, which made everyone calm down - he could only thank the Demon Cult for its training over the past two years. As long as everyone had food, drink and could practice martial arts, they could actually stay still and had no objections at all.

It's just strange that, although this Rusty Sword Visualization Method looks very simple, only a few people can quickly enter into a state of tranquility, while the vast majority of people will suddenly wake up during the visualization, saying that they feel like they were "cut by a sword."

"Obviously not. As long as I follow the visualization method, I can clearly feel that the rust on my body is being wiped off, my body is getting lighter and lighter, and my soul is getting clearer and clearer... It's very comfortable!"

With pure incomprehension in mind, Canglinzu began another period of meditation.

But this time, for some reason, he suddenly felt extremely calm and peaceful inside.
