Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

In the Cangjian Hall, as several elders who were in the meeting left, Gu Hongzi, who had a serious face just now, suddenly fell. With a painful look on his face, he took out the only half bottle of Ningsixiang left in the storage bag, and touched it again and again in his palm.

When this Ningsi incense was passed to him, there was only one and a half bottles. He distributed half a bottle to several elders and kept one bottle for himself. He had always been frugal with himself, and he had only taken out this Ningsi incense when several disciples were having difficulty in building their foundation or forming their elixir. But in total, it was only four or five times, and each time only a soybean-sized amount was needed. Therefore, although he was reluctant to give it up, he could still accept it.

Unexpectedly, at noon, the eldest disciple whom he had met last night suddenly came to his door and asked for half a bottle of Ningsi Incense. He seldom performed the ritual of kneeling and bowing since he had established his foundation, so after making the request, he lifted up his robe and knelt down.

Seeing his determined look, Gu Hongzi was almost scared to death. He thought that he was really aroused by his scolding yesterday. He hurriedly asked him cautiously with shaking beard why he suddenly wanted so much Ningsixiang.

"Qingchuan cannot speak now. I will come to apologize to Master after the matter is settled. I hope Master will grant me your favor today." Wei Qingchuan bowed his head and spoke sincerely.

Gu Hongzi saw that his eyes were clear and his temperament was pure, and there was no sign of him being disturbed by inner demons. He felt relieved. But then he thought of the punishment he had imposed on him in an impulse yesterday. He was afraid that although he said he was willing to accept the punishment, he must feel aggrieved in his heart. He immediately softened his heart.

"You should also know the preciousness of the Ningsi Incense. Although the incense is not necessary for the breakthrough of the Jindan stage, it has a miraculous effect on concentrating the mind and calming the breath. I planned to keep it for Qingguang, Qinghe and the others in the future. Now you ask for half of it, and you can't even tell me the reason. I'm afraid it's difficult for me to fulfill your wish."

"Master, I know that you are in a difficult situation. These are what I have accumulated over the years. If you need them, you can take them all. As for my fellow brothers and sisters who will break through in the future, as long as I am still here, I will do my best to protect them. I hope Master will help me." There was a hint of guilt in Wei Qingchuan's eyes, but he quickly hid it and looked at Gu Hongzi with a firm gaze.

Gu Hongzi glanced at the storage bag in his hand. It was filled with rare treasures he had obtained from his years of training. There were even a few exotic flowers and herbs that could attract countless cultivators if they were picked out at random. Their value was not much different from that of the Ningsixiang, which seemed precious but had very limited actual effects.

But now these rare treasures were placed by Wei Qingchuan in front of his master who was like a Pixiu for him to choose, just to exchange for half a bottle of Ningsi incense which could calm the mind, soothe wounds and relieve pain. This made Gu Hongzi even more curious.

He tried hard to suppress his greedy impulse to reach out and grab the storage bag, and coughed and said, "Have you really thought about it? You want to use this bag of things to exchange for my half bottle of Ningsi Incense? You know my personality. Once you take something, you won't spit it out."

"Master, please take it. Qingchuan will never regret it." There was no hesitation in Wei Qingchuan's tone.

Gu Hongzi looked down at Wei Qingchuan for a long time. Although he was kneeling, his back was as straight as a pine tree, and his eyes were as tenacious as they had been for more than ten years. Somehow, the scene when he first saw this child thirteen years ago suddenly emerged in his mind.

At that time, he had just had an argument with the third brother about the issue of accepting disciples. The third brother scolded him, saying that he was already old and had no hope of ascending to heaven, so he should quickly find a child to train and inherit his mantle, otherwise who would the position of the headmaster be passed to in the future.

He was so angry that he was speechless. The sect leader simply quit and flew out of the mountain gate on his sword with a flick of his sleeves. However, he didn't expect that this time he actually brought back a disciple.

At that time, he was passing by a mountain top and saw demonic energy from afar over there. When he got closer, he saw that the green bricks and black tiles in the mountain were actually a magnificent three-story courtyard. But now the sky above the courtyard was filled with demonic energy and blood. He could tell at a glance that something had happened inside.

Sure enough, when Gu Hongzi split the tightly closed door with his sword, a strong smell of blood immediately hit him in the face. The scene before him made him frown even though he had lived for nearly a thousand years and was used to seeing monsters killing living beings.

In the huge courtyard, broken limbs were scattered everywhere, and several disemboweled corpses were lying on the ground. Several dark shadows were crawling on the corpses that were already rotting, and the crunching sounds of them gnawing made people's scalps numb.

It was a blood demon, a low-level monster that had not yet awakened its intelligence. It fed on the flesh and blood of living beings. Wherever it passed, any creature that could run and move could not escape its sharp teeth and fangs.

No wonder he felt the forest was unusually quiet when he passed by the hill just now. Looking at the tragedy in the world before his eyes, Gu Hongzi closed his eyes and made some gestures with his fingers. In just a moment, he heard a few loud screams, and the blood demons that had just been eating flesh and blood were instantly turned into powder.

After dealing with these blood demons, Gu Hongzi released his spiritual sense, covering the entire yard. His spiritual sense swept through every corner inch by inch, but found no trace of living people.

Just when Gu Hongzi couldn't bear it anymore and closed his eyes, about to withdraw his consciousness, a faint breath came from a well in the backyard. Gu Hongzi hurriedly flew to the well and waved away the rock slab that was obviously covered in a hurry.

In the deep well, there was a little boy with half of his body immersed in the cold well water. His face was pale and his breathing was weak, but he was still holding tightly to the wooden barrel hanging above the well.

Gu Hongzi hurriedly fished the man out and fed him a rejuvenating pill. The little boy then explained the whole story with tears and trembling voice. It turned out that the boy's name was Wei Chuan, and he was the only son of the Wei family, who opened a martial arts school at the foot of the mountain. The Wei family was quite wealthy, and as the weather had been hot in recent days, the whole family had come to their villa in the mountains to escape the heat. Unfortunately, they encountered these roaming blood demons, and none of the more than a dozen people in the family survived, except Wei Chuan, who was hastily stuffed into the well by Wei's mother.

Wei Chuan trembled and revealed a red rope hanging around his neck. On the red rope was a jade unicorn the size of a finger joint. Gu Hongzi picked it up and took a look, and immediately understood the reason why the boy was able to survive.

Mortals often give children various mythical beasts carved out of gold and jade to wear in the hope of warding off disasters and evil spirits and ensuring the safe growth of the children. But in fact, this is just psychological comfort. Although the jade Qilin worn by this boy is of ordinary quality, there is a faint aura lingering around it.
