Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

This behavior is extremely vicious. What is the difference between this and letting the monks of Qian Country kill each other?

Even if you know that the person you are facing is already dead, but facing your own teacher, your fellow Taoist friends and relatives, who can remain calm and fight?

If the mind of some young monks has not been polished, their state of mind may collapse on the spot.

"Since you knew that, why didn't you bring back the bodies of my father and the sect leader?!" Liu Qingyun roared at Du Yu.

"Senior Sister Liu, calm down!" Gu Chi pressed down hard on Liu Qingyun's shoulders and said, "Don't blame Senior Brother Du Yu and the others. In that situation, they even had time to escape because Sect Master Yang Ming risked his own origin to buy them time. How could they have had extra time to bring back the bodies of Sect Master and Hall Master Liu?"

"But..." Liu Qingyun looked at Gu Chi, tears as big as beans falling down uncontrollably, and she was choked with sobs and couldn't speak.

She also knew that she was taking her anger out on Du Yu and the others, but when she thought of her adoptive father and the teachers who had watched her grow up, and how they would not be able to rest in peace even after death, and that they might be refined into emotionless zombie puppets that only knew how to kill, her heart felt as if it were being stabbed by a knife, and she found it difficult to control her emotions.

Gu Chi gently wiped the tears from her face, put his hands on her shoulders, and said softly, "It's okay, Senior Sister Liu. No one can do anything to the bodies of Master Liu and the others. They will all come back. Believe me."

Afterwards, she placed dozens of seriously injured and dying people including Du Yu and Le Huaxin in the sect's main hall, and used her power as acting sect leader to transport all the healing medicines in the sect over.

"You stay here and look after them. While I'm away, you'll be taking over the position of Sect Leader."

Gu Chi said this to Liu Qingyun, who was confused and opened her mouth, but before she could ask, Gu Chi turned around and walked out of the hall.

"Old Black! Bring out all the coffins!"

Gu Chi walked out of the hall and shouted towards the spiritual medicine garden, but then he heard a wolf howl, and a black shadow flew out from the secret realm of the spiritual medicine garden, dragging dozens of coffins made of rosewood behind it.

Until this moment, the dazed Liu Qingyun finally reacted and immediately said: "Junior Sister Gu, what are you going to do?!"

Not only her, Du Yu and Le Huaxin also struggled to stand up.

"Junior Sister Gu, the border is not a good place, and now that the Qian Kingdom has ceded land in exchange for peace, you can't take any more risks there!"

Le Huaxin was so excited that a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

Du Yu hurriedly supported her and looked at Gu Chi and said, "The bodies of Sect Master Yangshan and the elders are here. Let's work together after we recover from our injuries. You can't go to the border alone. It's too dangerous!"

Gu Chi paused and said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but before we came to Heming Sect, Lao Hei and I were selling coffins."

She pointed to the dozens of coffins being dragged behind the big black dog and continued, "When Sect Master Yang Shan and his men left for the border to fight, Old Black and I selected the finest red sandalwood and prepared these dozens of coffins for them. Now it's time to use them."

As he spoke, Gu Chi turned around and gave them a bright smile, saying, "Not only the Sect Master and the others, but Old Black and I have also prepared coffins for you. We are just waiting to take care of your affairs after your death one day in the future."

Liu Qingyun, Du Yu and others were all stunned, not knowing why Gu Chi said these words to them.

However, when Le Huaxin heard Gu Chi say that he used to be a coffin seller, his eyes lit up.

She had once heard of a story that in the past, the two major sects, Linglong Sect and Qianfo Temple, joined forces to besiege and kill the Thousand Blades Demon Lord of Liyue Pavilion.

When a curious person heard the news and rushed to the scene, the battle was already over. People did not find the body of the Thousand Blades Demon Lord, but found a tomb not far from the battlefield.

The tombstone is engraved with "Tomb of the Thousand Blades Demon Lord of Liyue Pavilion", and the person who built the tomb and erected the monument only left a signature on the tombstone: "Undertaker who sells coffins".

When this matter was spread, it caused quite a stir in Qian Country. Many people from various sects and forces were discussing who this "undertaker who sells coffins" was.

Later, when Le Huaxin heard about the clues of the undertaker appearing in the Panlong Mountains, he personally led people to check it out. However, when they rushed over, they could not find the person except for the tombstones and graves with the words "The undertaker who sells coffins" signed on them.

After that, she never heard any news about the undertaker again, and gradually stopped caring about it.

Until this moment, after hearing Gu Chi say that she used to sell coffins, combined with what she just said, Le Huaxin immediately connected her with the "undertaker who sold coffins" in the past, and was extremely surprised.

Could it be that... Junior Sister Gu is the undertaker who sells coffins?

"Let's go!" Gu Chi shook his hand and took out the Heaven-Swallowing Bag, put the dozens of rosewood coffins into it, waved at them, and strode towards the mountain gate with the big black dog.

"Junior Sister Gu, will you come back?" Liu Qingyun shouted at their backs.

"Of course, we also need to bring back the bodies of the Sect Master and the others."

After a pause, she added, "Old Black and I have prepared coffins for you. When you need them, Old Black and I will come back to see you off."

The man and the dog walked away without looking back and soon disappeared from the sight of several people.

……

Reject Licheng.

An ancient city on the border of Qian State has been renamed Yingli City because of Qian State's defeat.

The ancient city walls were covered with traces of battle caused by swords and axes, and there was even undried blood dripping. The ground was stained blood red, which showed how brutal the battle was at that time.

"You need to pay ten gold crystal copper coins to enter the city!"

Two soldiers in black armor stopped a man and a dog who wanted to enter the city.

After looking at the three big characters "Ying Licheng" on the city gate tower, and then looking at the two city guards in front of him who were only at the fourth level of Qi training, Gu Chi curled his lips and felt very unhappy, but still took out twenty gold crystal copper coins from his storage bag and handed them over.

"The war is over, but the Jiuli Dynasty still left so many Jindan-stage warriors stationed here. It seems they are not satisfied with the two thousand miles of territory ceded by the Qian Kingdom and are already preparing for the next war."

Gu Chi whispered. As soon as he entered the door, he sensed multiple auras from powerful Jindan stage masters. The auras pressed down on his heart, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

Because the Qian Kingdom was defeated in the war, the people of the Qian Kingdom in Yingli City naturally became prisoners.

The people of the Jiuli Dynasty did not treat the people of the Qian Kingdom as human beings at all.

Some people were forced to walk barefoot on red-hot iron sheets.

Some monks were forced to drink blood and eat raw meat.

Some women were stripped of their clothes, tied to pillars and whipped with iron whips until their skin was torn and flesh was exposed.

There were also many cases of rape and looting.
