There has always been a legend about the phoenix in Tianhuang Mountain. Tianyao'er's body is a special kind of bird with a mysterious flame hidden in her body. Gu An has always speculated that she is related to the legendary phoenix.
"Master, what are you looking at?" Tian Yao'er asked nervously.
Tianqing and Tianbai looked at the sky and saw nothing, which made them nervous.
Is there something they can't see sneaking into the outer world?
Gu An looked at Tian Yao'er. He saw the cause and effect related to the phoenix in Tian Yao'er. Although it was very shallow, it did exist. This proved that Tian Yao'er was a descendant of the phoenix.
He is not afraid that Phoenix will come to his door, because this trace of cause and effect is too weak, and Gu An could not detect it before when he was in the True Immortal Realm of Divine Mind, which means that there are many years between the bloodlines of Tianyao'er and Phoenix.
That phoenix is ​​just the cultivation level of Xiaoyao Yuanxian.
Gu An said: "Don't worry, I was looking at your ancestors just now. The reason why you feel uneasy is because your ancestors were uneasy and affected you through their bloodline."
Ancestor?
Tian Yao'er's parents have died, and she has long relied on Gu An as her only support. Now that she hears that she still has ancestors, how can she remain indifferent?
She opened her mouth and finally fell silent.
Tian Qing asked curiously: "Master, who is her ancestor? What is her cultivation level?"
Tian Bai also looked at Gu An, his big eyes full of expectation.
Gu An asked back: "Do you still remember the legend of Tianhuang Mountain?"
As soon as these words came out, Tian Yao'er's expression changed. Expectation, nervousness, unwillingness, etc., many emotions were revealed in her eyes. At this moment, she was not as innocent and romantic as usual.
"Could it be that Miss is a descendant of Phoenix?" Tian Bai exclaimed with his eyes widened.
Gu An nodded with a smile and said, "But the bloodline has been separated by countless generations, and the number of Phoenix's descendants is even more difficult to estimate."
He was not joking. He followed the cause and effect of the Phoenix. There were countless causes and effects related to it. There were countless descendants like Tian Yao'er, and they even had different types of bodies. There were even descendants of the Phoenix in the sea.
.
After Tian Yao'er heard these words, he seemed to have taken off his burden, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.
Gu An looked at her and asked with a smile: "Were you scared just now?"
Tian Yao'er nodded and said: "I don't want any ancestors. I just want to follow my master. When I was imprisoned by the Demon Mother Tianhuang, and when I was hunted down, I didn't see my ancestors show up."
Knowing that her ancestors still existed, she felt more worried and afraid. She was afraid that Gu An would send her to her ancestors.
Gu An stepped forward, rubbed her head, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about? How could I abandon you? Phoenix wants to steal you from me, and I don't agree with it. I have raised you for so many years, how can I raise you in vain?
"
Hearing these words, Tian Yao'er's smile became even brighter.
In fact, if she wanted to leave, Gu An would not stop her. He is now strong enough and is not afraid of being exposed.
It's just that he was afraid that if he said he was willing to let Tian Yao'er go, she would be frightened instead.
Tian Qing and Tian Bai didn't think much about it. They were more curious about how powerful Phoenix was.
"Don't ask. The phoenix must be very powerful. If you ask too much, it will enter your dreams and eat you."
Gu An hummed, so frightened that the two demons did not dare to ask any more questions.
Gu An didn't leave until noon.
He came to the mountains of Beihai and met the real person Xuanmiao as a mountain god.
Master Xuanmiao has become accustomed to this kind of life away from the world. He grows flowers, raises grass, and is content with himself. He occasionally discusses Taoism with passing monks. This kind of life is also quite good.
When Gu An came to him in the form of a mountain god, he was not as restrained as he was hundreds of years ago.
He stood up and bowed to salute.
Gu An sat on the eaves and asked: "Is there any confusion in your recent practice?"
Although the longevity income provided by Shanshen Temple was not much, he was moved by the sincerity of Master Xuanmiao, so he was willing to guide Master Xuanmiao in his cultivation.
Master Xuanmiao shook his head and said with a smile: "Not yet."
He looked up at the mountain god on the eaves, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "From what you see, can the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court be considered immortals?"
He had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but was afraid of offending.
Immortal Dynasty Yuanxu Immortal Ancestor's method of blessing all living beings shocked him and subverted his imagination.
In his opinion, even mountain gods cannot do this.
Now he heard that the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court were about to go to war, which made him feel even more complicated.
How can immortals compete with mortals for power and gain?
If the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court are not real immortals, but just powerful people, why can humans be stronger than the immortals?
All kinds of confusions took root in Xuanmiao Zhenren's heart, making him want to solve them more and more.
Gu An crossed his legs and looked down at Master Xuanmiao. His eyes under the mask were so profound. He asked: "What do you think an immortal should be like?"
"Like you, you protect the common people but are not coerced by worldly interests."
"In that case, why ask questions with answers?"
"I just..."
Master Xuanmiao frowned, not knowing what to say.
Gu An asked: "Do you think they are stronger than me, so you can't tell who is the real immortal?"
Master Xuanmiao nodded and looked at Gu An nervously, fearing that the mountain god would be angry.
"Have you ever thought about the meaning of your cultivation here? You are so obsessed with immortals, why don't you want to become an immortal yourself?"
Faced with the mountain god's inquiry, Master Xuanmiao widened his eyes and asked in astonishment: "How can I become an immortal?"
"Your confusion is actually the confusion of the whole world. What you see may not be right. The world is waiting for the real immortal to come. Why can't you become a real immortal?" Gu An said meaningfully.
In fact, he was talking nonsense and wanted Master Xuanmiao to focus on cultivation.
Over the years, whenever someone passes by this place, Master Xuanmiao will vigorously promote the power and mercy of the mountain god. This has also led to more and more people calling the mountain god in their hearts when they encounter difficulties.
Although Gu An ignored it, the expectations of those people also formed a force similar to luck, which he called the power of wish.
Perhaps the true immortals have to follow the path of willing power, so that they can feel the suffering of all sentient beings.
But what Gu An pursues is not immortality, he wants immortality.
Since Master Xuanmiao longs for immortality so much, Gu An doesn't mind cultivating him and becoming a real immortal.
If you want to become an immortal, the most important thing is to have the ability to save people, otherwise having a heart is not enough.
After listening to Gu An's words, Master Xuanmiao fell into silence, and his heart beat faster.
Gu An jumped down from the eaves, walked out of the courtyard, and went to pick herbs. Master Xuanmiao quickly followed.
"I...can people like me really become immortals?" Master Xuanmiao asked cautiously.
Gu An replied without looking back: "Immortals are not in high places. If you put your mind to it, you will achieve it."
Master Xuanmiao's expression changed, he was shocked by these words.
for a long time.
The two returned to the courtyard.
Gu An explained a few words and was about to leave. Master Xuanmiao suddenly looked up at Gu An on the eaves and said, "Mountain God, I have figured it out. I want to become an immortal and create a heaven!"
Gu An stopped, turned his head to look at him, and asked in surprise: "Heaven?"
"That is the power of the immortals and gods in Journey to the West. In the book, the immortals and gods kill demons and call for wind and rain for all living beings. They exist to protect the common people. Although the heaven in the book also has flaws, they are at least willing to take care of the common people."
Master Xuanmiao said seriously. After speaking, his face became firm and his eyes were shining.
Gu An smiled, said nothing, and disappeared on the eaves.
The ambitious Master Xuanmiao sat down cross-legged. He decided to practice hard in the future and never let down the cultivation of the mountain god!
…
New Year is coming.
This year's New Year is more lively than in previous years, because Taixuanmen has invited many sects to attend the Spring Festival event.
The Third Medicine Valley was decorated with lights and colorful, and it was very noisy. All the disciples had smiles on their faces.
After nightfall, the disciples took turns performing on the temporary round stage, keeping the Spring Festival atmosphere in a lively and lively atmosphere.
Gu An shook the wine bowl and couldn't help but look at the night sky.
The stars are everywhere, bright and beautiful, as if God is celebrating the festival.
However, outside the sky, the confrontation between the various sects of the Heavenly Spirit and the Heavenly Demon became increasingly tense.
Gu An scanned around and found that the number of demons exceeded one million, and the lowest level of cultivation was in the Sanxian realm. Among them were two true immortals with divine thoughts. This was the reason why the Heavenly Spirits and the Great Heaven and Earth did not dare to act rashly.
He saw monks from the Holy Court negotiating with the demons from the True Immortal Realm of Divine Thought. At present, it seemed that the demon side was stronger.
The current Holy Court is not as strong as in the legend.
The demon side is also testing Shengtian's attitude, but the Holy Court side avoids talking about it, which is obviously fishy.
According to Gu An's judgment, a war will break out between the two sides soon.
Gu An had no intention of intervening. After all, there was an Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court was taking care of it.
Having just made a breakthrough, he was not in a hurry to collect lifespan and wanted to avoid the limelight.
Long Qing came over and shouted that he wanted to have a drink with his master. How could Gu An tolerate him? He would not refuse anyone who came.
The wine in the Medicine Valley is spiritual wine, and immortal cultivators will get drunk if they drink too much.
It was not until late at night that the Third Medicine Valley fell into silence.
Early the next morning, Gu An left the Third Medicine Valley. He came to Xuan Valley and chatted with his disciples for a while before entering the Eight Views Cave.
He looked from a distance and saw a huge figure lying under the cane tree.
That's a black dragon!
[Haolong (Fifth Level of Crossing the Void Realm): 387/8000/18000]
Gu An looked at Haolong's maximum lifespan and was slightly disappointed.
It seems that Haolong has not had much opportunity in these years.
Haolong, who was lying under the tree, felt something and opened his eyes. When he saw Gu An, he raised his head suddenly.
"Owner!"
Haolong shouted excitedly, then rushed towards Gu An, setting off a gust of wind, shaking the surrounding flowers and plants.
Its size quickly shortened and became only two meters long. It wanted to jump into Gu An's arms, but Gu An used a fortune-telling pen to hold down the dragon's head and could not get closer.
"Why are you here?" Gu An asked.
Haolong chuckled and said: "Gu Haozong came to attend Taixuanmen's Spring Festival event, and I followed him secretly. I want to come back to see you."
Gu An said angrily: "You are the holy beast of Gu Hao Sect, do you think you can follow me quietly?"
He has already felt someone approaching Bajing Cave!
He was not angry, even a little excited.
Chapter completed!
