Zhao Chuling shook her head like a rattle and said, "Not like it."

After a moment of silence, Dean Wang Ximeng coughed and said, "It's hard to tell whether this matter is true or not. Before we find out the truth, let's do as Junior Sister Luo Lin said."

So after the meeting, Gu Jiu and his friends had an extra 1,200 taels of gold.

After the meeting, Wang Ximeng, the dean of Qingxi Academy, stood by the stream in silence for a long time.

Her eyes were a little confused, and she sighed, "Qingliu Academy, Qingliu Academy, even at this point, it still can't stop you from studying? Xie Xue, Chen Xiaodi, I really don't know whether to say your luck is extremely bad or good."

……

At night, Gu Jiu lay in bed, burping and looking at the painting of Guanyin.

He ate too much braised meat tonight and was so full that he couldn't sleep now.

It would have been easy for him to solve the problem of overeating, but he didn't do it because overeating is also a very happy thing.

Now that Qingliu Academy is rich, even the oil in the oil lamps is full and can be used as you please.

In the flickering light of the oil lamp, the Guanyin statue that originally hung in the reception room of the Fang family's head took on a flickering and eerie feeling.

This painting is very vivid, and the solemnity of Guanyin is expressed very well. It’s just that eye-like thing in the clouds that makes people feel uncomfortable.

Why is there such a thing in the Guanyin statue?

At this time, Gu Jiu couldn't help but think of the Guanyin head in Taohua Temple and the Buddha buried deep in the tree roots.

These experiences made Gu Jiu feel that the immortals and Buddhas in this world might be different from those on Earth.

On Earth, immortals and Buddhas are basically positive and glamorous. Even the gods in charge of hell are very human, such as the King of Hell, who feels like an official in the human world.

And this world, judging only by the beliefs of the people in the north, has many strange things. Many times, the statues of gods and other things he saw were no longer decent, but ugly and twisted.

What has happened to this world to make these beliefs so distorted?

Thinking of the story of the saint Xi Yu that Li Luo had told in the deserted temple before, it mentioned that there are many forbidden areas in this world that humans cannot set foot in, and that humans are like animals in a fence. He thought this was absurd at the time, but after experiencing so many things, he no longer thinks so.

The world in which humans live is a world of complex and intertwined forces. I really don’t know how many secrets are hidden.

These secrets are undoubtedly dark, just like the entangled roots of the giant tree in Taohua Temple, gloomy and dark, filled with countless wronged souls.

The Guanyin in this painting is probably some kind of strange existence.

This gave Gu Jiu an illusion that the immortals and Buddhas in this world were not simple, or not all positive, and some were even evil.

Humans believe in them, and they also seek something from humans.

In this balance, human beings are like crops in the field and livestock in the fence, destined to be harvested and slaughtered at any time.

At this time, Gu Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the bottom of the painting.

It was a row of extremely tiny characters, as thin as a mosquito or an ant. "Three years after Kaiyou, I personally saw the true form of the Bodhisattva outside the temple, and thus created this painting. Filled with fear, I feared I would go mad. — Wang Li."

(PS: Please vote, is the recommendation list this week so brutal?)

Chapter 18 I am the Sun

"Three years after Kaiyou, I personally saw the Bodhisattva's true form outside the temple, and so I created this painting. I was filled with fear, fearing I would go mad. - Wang Li."

Looking at this row of tiny characters, as small as flies, Gu Jiu could always read a feeling of fear and despair from them, as if the great fear of the painter named Wang Li was about to permeate through this piece of drawing paper.

If the painter is not really crazy, then it can only mean that he really saw the Bodhisattva and then painted a portrait of her with his own hands?

My goodness, letting the Buddha be a model, this is a bit shocking.

If this is really a portrait of the Bodhisattva's true body, and the painter named Wang Li is not crazy, then it can only mean that the eyes in the clouds really exist.

Gu Jiu threw the painting on the table and closed his eyes.

"Three years of Kaiyou? Could it be something from the previous dynasty?" Gu Jiu pondered.

Shendu Galan is the absolute center of the entire Tang Dynasty, without a doubt.

During the time he spent at Qingliu Academy, Gu Jiu learned a lot of historical knowledge from Su Ying, the elementary school bully, and also supplemented his worldview of this world.

Before the Tang Dynasty, there were dynasties such as You, Lie, and Yu, with different histories. However, no matter which dynasty or generation of emperors, they all chose Jilan as the capital without exception.

There has never been any record of moving the capital in history, so Galan is known as the "God's Capital".

This was something that Gu Jiu found difficult to understand. With the change of dynasties, there were naturally conspiracies and plots, disputes and wars, and it was inevitable that the enemy would be at the gates of the city.

Under such circumstances, the emperors were still unwilling to move the capital. Even though people had fled to the ends of the earth, they still believed that Galan was their capital. This sounded strange.

Especially for a time traveler like Gu Jiu, this is not in line with historical common sense.

In the history of the Earth, there have been too many cases of moving the capital and relocating secondary capitals, but in this world, there is no such case. All emperors have determined that the city of Galan is the capital and it cannot be changed, which is suspicious.

According to the description in this sentence, this painting was painted on the outskirts of Galan City, which means that the painter named Wang Li was the real body of the Bodhisattva who met on the outskirts of Galan City.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiu couldn't help but think of a temple - Galan Temple.

"Outside the Galan City is the Galan Temple. One city and one temple bring peace to the world." - This is a saying that has been passed down since the Yu Dynasty.

It is said that at that time Galan City was still a small city and Galan Temple was still a small temple, but this sentence truly predicted the future of Galan City and Galan Temple.

Galan Temple is known as the "ancestral temple of Buddhism" and there is a saying that all temples in the world are one temple.

Even though more than two thousand years have passed, from the middle of the You Dynasty to the present, male saints have declined and female saints have risen, and women have become the true overlords of this world for so many years, the Galan Temple is still the Galan Temple, not a nunnery.

The Buddha is still enshrined in the center of the Galan Temple, and incense is still popular, which is enough to illustrate the status of this temple.

The beliefs of the people in that area did not change drastically due to changes in the social status of men and women.

Unlike the remote areas in the north, the temples have withered and the Buddha statues have been covered in dust, and nunneries have taken their place.

After thinking for so long, Gu Jiu felt that Nagaragara was the mysterious place. Whether it was the city or the temple, it must be hiding many secrets.

At this time, Gu Jiu burped again, felt his head swollen, and wanted to sleep.

Is there anything happier than taking a nap after eating and drinking enough and having a dizzy sleep after thinking about something?

No!

At least not for Gu Jiu, so he fell asleep.

On the table, the oil lamp swung extravagantly, and the Guanyin statue in the painting seemed to have become malicious...

Soon, summer came, and both Xiaoqi and Su Ying started to dress cooler.

Gu Jiu eats and bathes every day, drinks wolfberry tea and sleeps soundly, living a leisurely life like a retired old man.

After the ghost face show and the paper man incident, Qingliu Academy became famous in Xinghua Town.

Those who had the opportunity to enter the academy in the past regretted their original choice after hearing the news.

Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for them to enter a sect with their qualifications. The dilapidated Qingliu Academy gave them an opportunity, but they rejected it.

But now, when they were thinking about whether they could rejoin, Qingliu Academy no longer accepted disciples.

Gu Jiu was a bit lazy. He already had enough trouble developing his senior sister and aunt, so naturally he didn't want any more people to come.

Especially those people with mediocre qualifications, there is no value in training them, just doing radio gymnastics will be enough.

The original philosophy of Qingliu Academy was to allow easy admission and strict graduation, but easy admission does not mean there is no threshold.

And now Gu Jiu has added a rule to this concept, which is that it must be pleasing to the eye.

If there are more people in the academy who are not pleasing to the eye every day, it will affect one's mood.

He felt that the issue of expanding enrollment should be discussed after the meeting with Bei Xueming.

By the time your reputation gets out, maybe you’ll be able to find some good talent.

And now, Gu Jiu felt that the only one qualified to join the academy was probably that big butt.

But Big Butt obviously won't come, not because Qingliu Academy is not up to standard and cannot compare with Qingxi Academy, but because in this world, betraying the master and joining other sects is a serious crime.

No sect wants to see such a thing happen, because no one wants the disciples they have painstakingly selected and cultivated to become someone else's wedding dress.

The Northern Sect has a rule that betrayal is intolerable. Unless it is a very special case, no one can accept a traitor to the sect, no matter how talented that person is.

This regulation of the Beixue Alliance was also recognized by the imperial court, because it ensured that the competition between sects would be cruel to a certain extent, but not too cruel. Otherwise, the talented ones would be monopolized and poached, and it would be very difficult for new sects to emerge.

One has to admit that the big hand in Galan City, even though it is so far away, is still subtly influencing and controlling the sects in the north through these rules. It is really scheming.

Now you want to ask these sect leaders what is the most important thing in this era?

They will definitely tell you, talent!

Of course, talent is the most important!

Therefore, the competition for new disciples among the sects in the north is very fierce, and those talented disciples will naturally make the choice they think is best.

Large sects have advantages, but they are not absolute. No one can predict who is better between the head of a chicken and the tail of a phoenix.

In order to find the ideal candidate, all the major sects have tried their best. For example, Yunshan Sword Sect resolutely adopted the "going to the countryside" strategy. Unexpectedly, they got the treasure Gu Xiaoxiao, which was considered a big news among the northern sects.

Gu Jiu is not so eager for talents. Firstly, there are really not many talents nearby. The talented ones have already been poached by Qingxi Academy. Secondly, with him around, who would need more talents?

I am the sun, why do I need so many stars?

You mean a gang fight?

As long as they don't have families involved, I can make anyone's family a mess. What's the point of having more people? Are you going to use them as targets?

So, whether it is Senior Sister Xiaoqi or Aunt Su Ying, they are everything to Gu Jiu at the moment.

At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao was still practicing hard on the Solitary Blade Peak.

It’s really hard!

Chapter 19 Youth is Justice

The top of Lone Blade Peak is covered with snow.

A fierce gust of wind whistled past, blowing on Gu Xiaoxiao's body like a knife cutting her.

There was a hint of wind and snow in Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes and brows, and her sword robe was rustling in the wind, but her expression was quite calm.

Using the cold snow and strong winds on the mountaintops to train the body and temper the will is the most arduous form of practice, and it is also accompanied by certain dangers.

Although Gu Xiaoxiao had already entered the third realm of concentration, at this stage, her sea of ​​consciousness was only just beginning to take shape, and her body was still the foundation.

The stronger the body, the greater the help it provides to the sea of ​​consciousness. The more determined the will, the wider the scope of the sea of ​​consciousness will be, and the further you can go on the path of cultivation in the future.

According to legend, when the sea of ​​consciousness of Liu Wan, the only saint in the north, was formed, it was an extremely vast lake.

Ordinary practitioners are nothing more than ditches and ponds.

The reason why Gu Xiaoxiao chose such a difficult and dangerous way of training was because she wanted to become stronger.

She is now the most valued disciple of Yunshan Sword Sect, but it is not enough.

The path of spiritual practice is like rowing against the current. In addition to having good talent, one also needs to have the quality of perseverance. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many geniuses who would eventually become mediocre in the eyes of the crowd.

She has a dream of traveling the world with a sword in hand, and an ideal of protecting her family, especially her brother Gu Jiu.

Although she was born and raised in Linshui Town, she increasingly felt that the place was not very safe.

She still clearly remembers the tragic incident in which her best friend's Liu family was wiped out. It caused a huge uproar at the time. In Linshui Town, there was only one Taohua Temple for practicing Buddhism, and she thought it was too small.

If she had the chance, she would like to move her family to the town at the foot of Yunshan Sword Sect so that it would be easier to take care of them.

Especially for her brother Gu Jiu, she has to make clear arrangements.

Although she is now the darling of the sect, it is still too early to make this request.

She must at least prove that she is indeed the most worthy genius to be cultivated by the sect, and that she not only has talent but also the qualities of diligence and hard work.

The wind was as cold as a knife, the snow was as icy as ice. Gu Xiaoxiao was practicing on the Lone Blade Peak, hoping to pass the sword path as soon as possible and obtain the qualification to serve as a swordsman.

This summer, Gu Jiu was very hot in Qingliu Academy, while Gu Xiaoxiao was very cold in Yunshan Sword Sect.

……

Under the training of Gu Jiu, the lazy guy, Xiao Qi and Su Ying made rapid progress.

Xiao Qi's Shuiyan swordsmanship became more and more powerful. She could endure more than before, so it was more terrifying when she ejaculated.

Every time Xiao Qi ejaculates, it is like the earth is turned upside down, dust is flying, and the sun and moon lose their light.

The ground under the courtyard was full of gullies due to Xiaoqi's destruction, so much so that Xiaohui sprained his ankle one night when he came back from playing.

Xiao Hui didn't expect that after he had just avoided one pit, he jumped into another pit.
