"Age of Chaos?"
Gu Zhou blurted out.
Ninth Uncle turned his head and looked at him silently." The Age of Chaos…The Age of Chaos. You described it very accurately. Since the Tang Dynasty, spiritual energy has been rapidly drying up. There were still people who became immortals during the Song Dynasty, but there were no more after the Song Dynasty. As for now, it is truly the Age of Chaos.”
"To become an immortal, one has to pay attention to the right time, place, and people. In the Age of Chaos, the right time and place are gone. Whether one's aptitude is good or bad, cultivating is just a struggle to survive.”
"That's why such a proud person like Senior Brother accepted you as his disciple. Perhaps he doesn't expect you to go far on this path, and only hopes that you can become an inheritor.”
Gu Zhou seemed to understand what was going on. Shi Jian was willing to accept him as a disciple not because of his son, but because he had changed his mind and wanted to find an heir. He did not expect Gu Zhou to achieve much.
" Live forever... Become an immortal..."
Gu Zhou did not know if he could reverse everything.
During the banquet, Gu Zhou did not forget to ask Ninth Uncle for advice, and he also taught him everything he knew.
Night fell and shrouded the land. The night was so thick that one could not see their fingers in the dark.
In the middle of the night, almost everyone fell into a deep sleep.
The night was exceptionally quiet. It was so quiet that she could even hear her own heartbeat.
Mao Mansion.
Gu Zhou sat cross-legged on the bed and slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with joy.
He didn't know if it was because he was diligent or because Ninth Uncle taught him well, but he finally felt angry tonight.
It wasn't easy!
After eight days of cultivation, he had finally entered the door.
Gu Zhou-
[Abilities: Thirteen Grand Protectors Cross Martial Arts (Golden Body), Beheading Saber Technique, Taiqing Qi-regulating Scripture (Beginner)]
[Essence: 3]
The plus sign behind the Taiqing Qi-conditioning Sutra glowed red, meaning that he could add points.
At this time, it was late at night, and the night was even darker. The huge Mao Mansion was as quiet as an old pond in the deep mountains. It was so dead silent that it was terrifying.
Suddenly!
Pa!
Footsteps sounded without warning as they approached Gu Zhou's room from the corridor.
At this moment, a cold atmosphere filled the entire room. The candlelight swayed as if it would be extinguished at the next moment.
Gu Zhou retracted his gaze and placed his right hand on the handle of Miao Dao. He stared at the door.
The footsteps disappeared.
It was still dark outside the door, dead silent.
Creak!
It was like the sound of wooden boards rubbing against each other. In the dead of night, it made one's scalp tingle.
Miao Dao unsheathed his sword, stood up, and walked to the door. He placed his left hand on the door bolt, opened the door bolt, and then suddenly pulled the door open.
It was quiet outside the door. The moonlight shone on him like water. The moonlight was cold and made Gu Zhou shiver. A puzzled expression appeared on his face."Could it be that I was too tense and heard wrongly?”
He lifted his foot and stepped out of the door. The arm holding the miaodao tightened like a spring, ready to explode with the fastest speed and strength at any time.
Looking around, the corridor was very quiet and empty. Within his field of vision, the candles in every room had been extinguished. There was nothing unusual.
"Maybe I really heard wrong."
After returning to his room, he closed the door and sat on the bed. Gu Zhou listened carefully.
All was silent.
Apart from Da Niu's snoring in the room next door, there was no other sound.
It seemed like a normal night.
He lay on the bed and slept with his clothes on. Time passed by slowly, and Gu Zhou seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
There were only two finger-sized candles flickering in the room, casting shadows on the objects in the room.
Suddenly!
There was a sizzling sound, as if something was rubbing against the wooden board.
Chi chi chi ~~
The soft sound continued, and a pale head actually squeezed through the crack of the door. With the width of the crack, no one could squeeze in.
However, this pale head squeezed in step by step.
Not long after, the head completely squeezed in. It was a paper human head with thick blush and a strange smile.
whew ~~
The candle flame in the room became smaller and smaller. It was the size of a soybean and was about to be extinguished.
whew ~~
A candle was extinguished.
Chi chi chi ~~
The paper figurine rubbed against the crack of the door, and its neck squeezed in. Then, its pale hands pulled at the door and the door frame, pulling its body to speed up the squeeze.
whew ~~
The temperature in the room dropped rapidly. The more paper figurines squeezed in, the lower the temperature.
The other candle was about to be extinguished.
The paper man's body squeezed through the crack of the door at an unbelievably strange angle.
At this moment, he had already seen more than half of the paper human figure's appearance.
Its facial features were all drawn, and the eerie smile on its face remained unchanged. This kind of cold smile could make ordinary people's scalps go numb and their hands and feet go cold, as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water on them in the middle of summer.
It was actually no different from the paper figurines in the longevity shop. The only difference was that this paper figurine could move like a living person.
Creak ~~
The paper figurine's feet stuck close to the crack of the door and reached in.
At this point, all the paper figurines squeezed in. They looked at Gu Zhou on the bed with a fake smile on their faces.
At this moment, Gu Zhou suddenly stood up and gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. He looked at the paper figurine with a burning gaze and said indifferently,"What the hell are you?"
Under the dim candlelight, the paper man's facial features were faintly discernible. Half of it was in the shadows, and one could occasionally catch a glimpse of its creepy expression. In such an environment, a moving, ghostly paper man could scare ordinary people to the point of paralysis.
Phew ~~~
The paper man did not seem to be able to speak. Before Gu Zhou could finish his sentence, it pounced on him.
From a few meters away, a cold and gloomy aura could be felt. This cold and gloomy aura was all-pervasive and drilled into Gu Zhou's pores.
Boom!
Gu Zhou's aura burst out, burning like a furnace. Vigorous blood and qi flowed through every inch of his body like lava, making a sound like a huge wave hitting a reef. The cold aura was swept away by the blazing Yang qi.
Clang!
In the next moment, the saber light was like a ribbon, dazzling with cold light. It streaked across the dark room, and the entire room instantly lit up as if it was daytime.
The violent blade light suddenly landed on the paper figurine.
Boom!
The paper figure flew out like a cannonball and crashed into the door, shattering it. The huge force caused a few cracks to appear on both sides of the door sill.
"No reply! I'll chop you to death!"
Gu Zhou roared and followed closely behind. With a suffocating hurricane, he smashed the broken door with a bang. Before the paper figurine landed on the ground, another knife landed on it.
