Tao and Heaven

Chapter 24: Imperial Treasure Mirror
Seeing Gu Wen staring at him blankly, Yu Hua said with a hint of smile, "Since you killed this monster, the thing should be yours. Although it's not a great treasure, it's not a stone on the side of the road either."

When she thought of Gu Wen's always pretending to be weak and harmless, and thought of the murderous aura in the sentence "The inner treasury was burned to ashes, and the streets were trampled by the bones of the nobles", Yu Hua felt it was very interesting. There was such a contrast between the inside and outside of a person, but he didn't make her feel disgusted.

Others are hypocrites, he is a coward on the outside but a king on the inside.

Of course, strength is the premise of everything. If it were someone else, they would just be incompetent and furious, but Gu Wen had forged the Yuqing Dao foundation in four days. His talent and perseverance were beyond ordinary people. Once he grew up, the Zhao family would be doomed.

Even if he can reach the ninth level of Taoism, and the True Lord of the Zhao family is unable to reach the top of the world this time, this cause and effect will lead to the death of a True Lord and even affect the entire sect.

The ninth level of the Dao Foundation represents the foundation of the world's top powers and is also the threshold to the path to becoming an immortal. Often, the higher you go, the more important the difference becomes.

Gu Wen suppressed his emotions and replied, "Since His Majesty the Ninth Prince wants it, I naturally have no right to refuse."

Yu Hua's smile faded slightly when he heard this, and he asked, "You still have to be like this when you talk to me now?"

"How does the fairy want me to answer?"

Gu Wen was neither humble nor arrogant, and always maintained a certain level of vigilance. Even if the other party would not betray him, he was already used to not telling the truth in front of others.

Unfortunately, the Taoist goddess did not think so. After all, Gu Wen was a person who had cultivated the Jade Purity Taoism. Although he had long been accustomed to the other party's duplicity, at least he did not need to be so cautious in front of her.

For the first time, she said in a tone that sounded almost commanding: "Don't address me as Zhao Feng in the future."

Gu Wen was stunned for a moment and said, "The fairy doesn't get along with him?"

From the tone of voice, it can be heard that Yu Hua doesn't seem to get along well with Zhao Feng.

"I just hate it when you address him as such."

Yu Hua walked into the house without thinking, and the light gauze of her sleeves brushed against Gu Wen's body. There was no trace of rouge, just a very faint and indescribable smell. It was like an inverted moon in the water, the embers of fireworks, fleeting.

A lantern appeared at the corner in the distance, and the light dispelled the darkness of the corridor. Two strong guards came over. They were startled to see Gu Wen standing at the door, and then they bowed respectfully and said, "Master, it's already midnight, you should go to bed early."

"Ah."

Gu Wen nodded, then closed the door. The footsteps of the two guards gradually faded away.

Inside the house, Yu Hua had already begun to look around his daily residence. He glanced left and right, picked up a book from the bookshelf and opened it, without any politeness at all.

Are all fairies so familiar?
Gu Wen had a headache. He wanted to stop the other party from opening his bookshelf. There were some shameful things on it. Although he rarely used Chinese characters to record things, he would erase them immediately after writing them. But he usually practiced reading and writing when learning Daqian official texts, some copied books, some poems.

Most of them are from the Daqian market, but if you eat too much coarse grains, you will always need some fine bran.

But Yu Hua is not a scholar, so he should not be so sensitive. If he were a cultivator, why would he care about the poems and songs of ordinary people?

No matter how many concerns Gu Wen had, he was attracted by the bead. It was casually placed on the table, glowing green. Yu Hua pointed at the oil lamp with his fingertips, and it was even more dazzling under the dim candlelight. Waves of water waves appeared on the surface.

He took two steps at a time and picked up the emerald green Water Eye Bead. The feeling of regaining what he had lost made Gu Wen's eyebrows slightly bent.

Yu Hua flipped through the book and said without raising his head, "Do you have a method for refining the ritual?"

Gu Wen quickly cupped his hands and said, "Please give me some advice, Fairy."

"What I just told you."

"Of course I will listen to what the fairy says. Zhao Feng is shameless in taking credit for other people's achievements. He is just like looking for peas in a quail's crop, chopping the tender meat from a heron's leg, or extracting fat from a mosquito's belly."

Gu Wen cursed at Zhao Feng, causing Yu Hua to chuckle and said, "You are very unique in your way of cursing. What about talking about the Zhao family?"

"When a saint takes over the throne, the world will be peaceful."

Hearing such a high evaluation, Yu Hua was stunned for a moment and asked: "The world is Jiajing, and there is no peace and beauty in this world."

Gu Wen said in a gloomy tone: "The Jiajing Yin State has increased taxes some time ago. How can we not be rich after collecting taxes from the Daqian Dynasty for twenty years? How can every family not be clean?"

He roughly understood the other party's attitude towards the Zhao family, so there was no need to hide too much.

"."

Yu Hua was speechless for a moment. He was inexplicably amused by the tone of the sentence, but he knew that he shouldn't make fun of the people's suffering.

She just wanted to hear Gu Wen scolding people, just like he scolded Zhao Feng for his brain and intestines. This was something Yu Hua could not normally come into contact with. She preferred to listen to some funny things rather than those pretentious elegance. Elegance was mostly fake, and it looked very funny in front of Di Ting. Whenever she wanted to perform in front of others, her thoughts and emotions would inevitably rise, so Gu Wen, this loach, was the most difficult person for her to catch her thoughts.

But Gu Wen's funny words were a bit weird, making her laugh and cry.

Yu Hua changed the subject and said, "Magic instruments are objects that carry the Dao. If you want to use external objects like an arm, you need to know the Dharma incantation, which belongs to the category of external skills."

Gu Wen asked, "Excuse me, Fairy, I understand that the Xuanming Spear is an external skill, but why is the ritual of refining a magical weapon also called an external skill?"

The Jade Purity Sword Technique involves internal sword skills and does not involve any sword moves.

"Anything that cannot increase cultivation is external skills and is an external path."

Yu Hua answered as a matter of course, and Gu Wen roughly understood that it was the difference between the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect.

Qi training is the foundation, everything else is secondary.

"In the cultivation world, the most powerful method is the military training method. I can't find the military method, only the basic ritual training method of the Three Pure Ones Sect."

She stretched out her hand, her tone gentle as if to comfort Gu Wen that touching her had become a habit, more like tempting the raccoon cat, and said: "This world has a limited number of days, I am not yet at the stage of transmitting magic through the air, hold my hand, just for a moment."

Gu Wen was familiar with it this time. He reached out and took it. A burst of clear air and the method of sacrifice entered his mind.

Imperial Treasures

The content inside is all-encompassing. From how to sacrifice and cultivate magic tools to how to drive them, to how to repair the damage caused by magic tools in battles, and even how to deal with various types of magic tools. It is equivalent to giving a complete set of magic tool textbooks, from getting started to entering the grave.

It smells so good. Soft rice smells so good.

Gu Wen became more and more convinced of the importance of Yu Hua, the angel investor. If it weren't for her, she probably wouldn't have even touched the edge of cultivation. Even if she had the destiny, she would still have to go through some trial and error.

It is always better to cross the river by feeling the stones than to wade into the river yourself.

But this favor is growing bigger and bigger, and it will be hard to repay it in the future.

"Thank you, fairy. I will remember this kindness in my heart. If you need me in the future, I will go through fire and water to help you." Gu Wen bowed and threw out another pancake, and Yu Hua nodded in response.

At this point, it was no longer something that could be explained by compensating the Gu family. If Gu Wen had no talent, she wouldn't have taken it so seriously. What she wanted was just a favor. It was a bit utilitarian, but it was better than doing nothing and scaring the other person away.

This descendant of the Gu family is a loach, and is suspicious by nature.

Gu Wen asked again, "I wonder if the snake monster that I killed today was a monster?"

"It's not a snake, but a da fish. Da fish live in mud caves on the banks of water. They are similar to eels but slender, and also similar to snakes but without scales. They are green and yellow in color, and are ferocious by nature. They are used as medicine to replenish yang, and are used to transform into dragons. You may have killed a dragon son."

Yu Hua's words shocked Gu Wen, who was stunned and asked, "Isn't this dragon too weak?"

The eel was indeed big, but it was just flesh and blood. The royal guards could break through its defense with one blow, making it wail. Gu Wen possessed magical power and had mastered the fourth level of Xuanming Spear, mastering the dark energy that was enough to make him a master among mortals.

Judging from the silky feel, it is more tender than pork, and the bones are very soft except for the head. The reason why the eel was not cut in half with one knife is that the blade is not long enough.

"It's not that Long Zi is weak, but that the land of immortality is dangerous. The real danger is not the deadly land, but the thousands of people who can hurt you. The danger of becoming an immortal lies in the people."

Yu Hua's eyes fell on the long stick that Gu Wen used for practicing martial arts. Private possession of weapons was strictly prohibited in Bianjing, so sticks were used instead of guns.

She said faintly: "Your long stick can also kill me. If I don't have magic to protect myself, I only need to hit it in the face."

"All creatures in the ten directions have become mortals. This is the destiny of becoming an immortal. But it is more likely that it is a spiritual beast born in Longjing, otherwise it would be impossible to escape without a backup plan."

　Who knows the hundred-foot-tall dragon and snake? It turns out to be the best in the world.

　　Even if I am as lowly as dust and mud, there will be a time when I am as great as a saint and as equal to heaven.

　　I highly recommend the inspiration for the name of this book, Avocado’s new book!
