Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

Hu Qing walked along the passage and found Gu Yang at a corner. He was meditating and Qingyin was leaning against the wall.

As Hu Qing approached, Gu Yang opened his eyes and picked up the "Kan Tu" sword on the ground. However, he breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that the person coming was Hu Qing.

Hu Qing was a little dazed. He returned to Hu Qing's dantian and began to absorb spiritual power. His figure became more and more dissipated. If he didn't respond, he would probably die.

Gu Yang had many questions in his mind that he wanted to ask him, but seeing how miserable he looked, he had no choice but to wait until he recovered before asking.

Gu Yang was just about to sit down and continue meditating when Hu Qing stopped him.

"Brother Gu, please help me find a good place. She has been tired for a long time. Let her have a good sleep."

Gu Yang looked at Qingyin beside him, nodded, carried Qingyin on his back, and walked towards the cave entrance.

Hu Qing began to teach Gu Yang how to use mental power. Now that he was in a weak state, he could only rely on him.

"Concentrate your energy. When spiritual power flows into your mind, separate some of the excess spiritual power. Compare this excess spiritual power to water and begin to spread it around."

Gu Yang was still practicing Changqing Gong, but his body had already taken the shape of the meridians of the "Life and Death Battle Method".

After trying a few times reluctantly, he finally found the trick and began to radiate his mental power, which could only extend to about 18 meters.

Gu Yang did not record any breath, so Hu Qing asked him to start looking for places where the breath of monsters was rare.

The two began to search continuously, and also took the opportunity to train their mental strength.

Finally, beside a mountain stream, Gu Yang found an ancient tree with a cave next to it.

Hu Qing looked at the sky and decided to rest here. He looked around and found that there were no traces of monsters and the environment was relatively quiet.

Hu Qing flew out of Gu Yang's body. He was no longer as weak as before. He stood under the tree and looked into the distance. This was indeed a good location.

He pulled Gu Yang up and started digging a hole under the tree. Hu Qing used his soul power to knock down two big trees and dragged him under the tree.

Gu Yang had already dug the pit. Looking at the two big trees, he understood what Hu Qing was going to do.

The two began to chop the trees, using spiritual power to carve out shapes, and then Gu Yang hammered nails into them.

Ever since Hu Qing discovered that his inventions from his previous life were very popular here, he consciously stored some tools and materials in his storage ring.

Soon, an exquisite coffin was made. Hu Qing placed the coffin into the pit, and then used his soul power to gently put Qingyin in.

Gu Yang knew that the two of them still had something to say, so he left on his own to go hunting and prepare some dinner.

Hu Qing stared at Qingyin infatuatedly, memories of the past flooded into his mind, and his tense emotions relaxed at this moment.

He touched Qingyin's face with his hand. It was not as elastic as before and was ice-cold. Hu Qing could hardly breathe due to the cold.

He began to cry and hold his head in his hands. The pent-up emotions burst out at this moment. This was the closest person to him in this world, and he died because of his negligence.

He hated his own lack of strength, his own greed, and his own inability to protect Qingyin.

He hadn't cried like this for a long time. When Gu Yang came back carrying a wild forest boar, his tears had dried up and his voice became hoarse.

"Brother Gu, please help me find a slate."

Hu Qing suppressed the grief in his heart and closed the coffin. Only then did he realize that Qingyin's voice and smile had appeared in his mind, even though he could not see her face.

He covered the coffin with the soil nearby, pressed it down a few times, took the stone slab handed to him by Gu Yang, and used his spiritual power to carve words on it:

Tomb of Madam Qingyin of the Ancient Mansion of Haitian City

He placed the stone tablet in front of the earth mound and tamped it firmly. Looking at the completed tombstone, Hu Qing asked Gu Yang to take out a flower pot from the storage ring.

These were the flowers that Qingyin had planted before her death, but he still didn't know what kind they were.

But it's good to keep a thought in mind, someone has to remember her.

Hu Qing found a few seeds in the scattered soil and began to plant them on the grave. He then went to the mountain stream to fetch some water and poured it on the grave.

Gu Yang had already built a fire at the entrance of the cave and was roasting meat with branches. When Hu Qing saw this, he seemed to be back to the night when he had just traveled through time.

Gu Yang saw Hu Qing and waved to him.

"Ah Qing, come quickly, I've grilled the meat, come over and roast it!"

Hu Qing walked over and sat by the campfire. Looking at Gu Yang eating heartily, he felt less sad.

"Ah Qing, what happened after that day? Where are Brother Tiezhu and Brother Wenyuan? Why can't I see them? Did they pass the imperial examinations, get promoted, and become rich?"

Gu Yang asked curiously while chewing on the skewers. He had too many questions now, and asking them out now would divert Hu Qing's attention and make him less sad.

"Dead, all dead, killed by the assassins. I was the only one who escaped."

Gu Yang really wanted to slap himself twice. How could he get another death after asking so casually? However, the deaths of Zhao Tiezhu and Li Wenyuan also made him sigh, and his mood began to become depressed.

"I finally saw Brother Zhao die that day, and I lost all consciousness after that. When I woke up, I was already in the Foundation Establishment Stage. If I met that assassin again, I would not let him off easily."

"Um"

Hu Qing's mood became worse and worse. He thought that it was because of his weak strength that people around him kept dying one by one.

Gu Yang noticed his emotions and could only change the subject.

"Then Ah Qing, can you tell me what happened next?"

Hu Qing looked at the curious Gu Yang and began to talk about the revelations in the examination room, the research and development of hot air balloons, Qingyin, and making money. His mood began to improve and he told Gu Yang what he knew.

Gu Yang was also amazed after hearing this. He didn't expect that Hu Qing had accomplished something he had never dared to imagine in his entire life in just a few months.

"Ah Qing, you are really amazing. You can survive in this world without me!"

"As long as you don't cause trouble, this world is a good place to live."

Gu Yang had finished eating the skewers in his hand, and he still felt a little unsatisfied after listening to Hu Qing's story.

"Have you finished eating? You will start learning the 'Life and Death Battle Method' from today. This is a new technique. The grade is uncertain, but it is very powerful."

Gu Yang also became interested. He also urgently needed to improve his combat effectiveness and could not rely on Hu Qing every time.

"The technique is in the storage ring, start practicing."

Gu Yang quickly found the scroll of "Life and Death Battle Method" and a small package in the storage ring.

"Ah Qing, this looks like a gift from someone, and it says 'Gu Yang Shou' on it."

Gu Yang threw the package to Hu Qing and began to open the scroll of "Life and Death Battle Method".

Hu Qing looked at the package in his hand and thought of Qingyin's last words before she died. This should be the gift she left for him.

This is a brocade box, probably the one sent by the emperor before. When it was shaken gently, no sound came out from inside.
