Men wear women, and Lu Ding is forced to marry

At the hour of Mao the next day, Gu Chenzhou was helped up and sat down, his knees were swollen.

Ling Yun came to his room. He forced himself to stand up and offered him a cup of tea. He said hesitantly, "I know I was wrong."

In one year, his skills improved greatly. The tea he brewed was fragrant and refreshing.

Seeing Ling Yun drink it, he carefully took his teacup and blew it gently.

No one spoke. They all took a few sips quietly. Gu Chenzhou looked at her expression and it seemed that she was much more relaxed.

He then spoke: "Senior, I just... think that rewards as a means of motivation should be given with the most encouraging... things or treasures for me."

Ling Yun didn't show any surprise. She just stirred the tea leaves with the cup lid and listened to him continue talking.

"I'm not saying that you should keep it. I'm a partner with the Sect Master. She's not here, so I should keep these things..."

He was a little nervous and lowered his voice.

Ling Yun: "Partner?"

She took a casual sip of her tea.

"Do you know why you can only be her servant?"

Gu Chenzhou was stunned for a moment, and after a pause he said: "...Because I am of low status..."

Ling Yun put down the tea bowl.

A very slight sound.

There was silence in the house.

"The noble family has rules. The side lord and the main lord must pass thirty-six levels and gain the approval of the elders in the family. Only the servant lord, as a plaything, needs to please others."

"You have no foundation and are naturally cowardly. Even if she personally brings the thing to you, you may not be able to keep it."

Gu Chenzhou’s head drooped lower and lower.

Ling Yun: "You think that if you can't get her things, you will think about them day and night and can't concentrate on your cultivation, right?"

Gu Chenzhou nodded.

Ling Yun: "Do you know what state you were in when you were reborn into Nirvana?"

Gu Chenzhou didn't say anything. Of course he remembered everything he had experienced, and he would never forget that pain.

"You have a shallow cultivation level, are timid and cowardly, and can only cry when encountering problems. You dare not resist when being humiliated. After rebirth, you still have a fluke, and use love to quench your thirst, and you can't be firm in your determination." Ling Yun said, "If this continues, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"You are still young and don't know how to restrain yourself. You are easily swayed by emotions. You indulge in love too early. You miss her today and tomorrow. You waste your time every day. It's hard for you to make any progress in your cultivation. When you meet again, how can you be together?"

Of course Ling Yun knew how much pain he was in. When she was awakened, she opened her eyes and saw Gu Chenzhou grabbing her desperately as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw, and he was afraid of crying. After a brief question, she knew what had happened to him.

People have seven emotions and six desires, but that’s not the only thing they have.

Being too sentimental will only lead to dragging things down and trapping yourself.

Gu Chenzhou knew that it was hopeless to get his things back. He sobbed softly and slowly calmed down his sad emotions.

"I see."

Ling Yun: "Don't think about unnecessary things. When you reach the Nascent Soul stage, I will return everything to you and let you go. You can go see whoever you want to see."

There seemed to be hope again. Gu Chenzhou couldn't help but look at her: "...Senior, generally speaking...how long does it take to cultivate from foundation building to Nascent Soul?"

"Hundreds of years, decades, years, whatever."

The ones who have been there for a few years are either experimental subjects or like the Ye Lingyun...

Gu Chenzhou opened his eyes wide: "...What do you think of me, senior?"

Ling Yun said coldly: "Sixty years."

"..."

He will be old by then.

Ling Yun looked indifferent and said slowly, "Just listen to me and you'll be out in forty years."

If he is not pushed, his potential will never come out.

What Gu Chenzhou lacks is not talent. His talent has been dormant due to long-term internal friction and timidity. What he needs to do is to awaken it again.

The years of cultivation are long, and it is not impossible for one to catch up later.

"Decades are but a fleeting moment. If you can't overcome this," Ling Yun said with an unfathomable dignity between his brows, "you will have to cultivate the Great Dao in the future. The years will be long, and the end result will be that you are not destined to be together."

Gu Chenzhou seemed to understand, but Ling Yun stood up and said, "Tomorrow at 5 a.m., we will practice swordplay as usual."

She waved her sleeves and said, "Let's take a rest today."

......

In the vast sky, on the spirit boat, Gu Chenzhou stood quietly, his hair gently blown away by the wind, as quiet as a painting.

Suddenly, he stepped on the sword and flew backwards.

The golden sunlight shone on his body, and every strand of hair and every eyelash were dyed with gold.

After forty years of experience, he can do it.

A blood mist burst out from the sea surface, but Gu Chenzhou did not stop, his clothes fluttering, and his immaturity faded away as he moved, like a pearl about to bloom.

*

Forty years later.

Magic Palace.

There have been many large-scale demon-slaying operations in Luanhai in recent years. Every time this happens, the Demon Palace will return to the bottom of the sea and hide until the demon-slaying operation is over, and Lingyun will float the Demon Palace to the surface of the sea.

The Demon Palace was located on an isolated island near Xizhou near Luanhai, and there was no human habitation within a radius of thousands of miles.

Today we welcomed an unexpected guest.

A group of people came flying on swords from a distance, looking in a miserable state. Someone vomited blood as soon as he landed.

The blood dripped onto the ground and instantly turned into black mist, emitting an ominous aura.

They ran quickly in the forest, all of them with serious expressions. Even though there were nearly twenty of them, they were still nervous and turned their heads to look from time to time.

In just a moment, a cold aura suddenly chased after them, and the speed was so fast that it was shocking.

Looking up, I saw a black swarm of bees.

"What a persistent person!"

"We won't get tangled with them again until we get out of the forest!"

"go!"

The group walked along the road on the island and saw a bright light after a while. More than 20 people jumped up, and the leader had a stern look in his eyes.

"Formation!"

The magic light lit up from under their feet, the formation compass made a humming sound, and layers of golden light burned the entire sky like flames. The swarm of bees was strangled by the killing formation, but the attack became more and more fierce.

The swarm of bees devoured hundreds of monks in succession. The group of formation masters were also struggling to hold on. Several of them had been stung and were unconscious, and the formation was in danger.

After a round of strangulation, because they didn't know how many waves of bee swarms there were behind them, the group did not dare to delay and fled quickly, supporting each other.

After finding a towering palace that seemed to be abandoned, the group was exhausted. The leader explored the surroundings and said, "Let's adjust first. I'll go set up the formation."

She chose a place to sit down, the outline of the token on her waist was reflected in the faint light, with only one word "Yin" on it.

They are the famous formation family in Dongzhou——

A retainer of the Yin family.

The leader was named "Yin Jiuxiao", and there were two others surrounding her, one named "Yin Chaosheng" and the other named "Yin Congjun".

Their group was not composed entirely of female cultivators, there were also several male cultivators. The condition of these injured male cultivators was not good at the moment and they were already running a fever.

After being bitten by a monster, most cultivators will still show symptoms of infection if the monster seeds are parasitic in their bodies, even if they are removed in time. Only a small number of cultivators with strong wills can survive it.

Several female cultivators over there fed them spiritual liquid and looked after them carefully, keeping their spirits tense and not daring to relax.

Yin Jiuxiao set up the formation, then closed his eyes and meditated to regulate his breathing.

I don't know how long it took, but finally there was some movement.

"Little Lord."

Yin Jiuxiao opened his eyes and saw a male cultivator being helped to sit up. Although his face was pale, he was out of danger.

There was a sense of weakness between his brows, and he looked sickly, but people couldn't look away.

Yin Jiuxiao walked over, held him in his arms, and gently stroked his back.

"never mind."

Yin Chaosheng frowned and said, "There is another person, and he looks dying."

Yin Congjun: "Wait a moment longer. If he turns into a demon, kill him right there."

There was no other way now, Yin Jiuxiao closed his eyes: "How long will it take to reach Dongzhou?"

Someone who was good at calculating immediately answered, "It will take another month to fly the sword."

"All the land close to Luanhai has been occupied by the industry families. We want to go back, but we can't avoid them."

Over the years, the territory of the industry family has expanded more than ten times compared to the time of the martial arts competition. It has caused a stir in the world of cultivation, but anyone who does not know what's in store for them has long been wiped out.

If it is an uninhabited place, the businessmen will occupy it. If this land was originally controlled by an aristocratic family, anyone who wants to survive must rely on them.

The business family was not harsh to the aristocratic family they depended on. Instead, they treated them with courtesy and only made one request.

Watchtowers and access control systems have been set up in all areas under its jurisdiction. Passes are required to enter and exit. People without identification will be detained directly. Only after approval from above and a pass is issued can they enter and exit freely.

No one knows what they mean by doing this.

But if this is the case, the identities and whereabouts of the monks coming and going will be controlled, which is simply creepy.

Therefore, those who want to hide their identities will avoid the businessmen's territory.

But this won’t work in the long run.
