The servants were all practicing, so Gu Xuan simply got up, picked up a lantern, and went to the kitchen to boil water and prepare tea.

"Although I don't know your past, I can tell that you were ordinary before. Since the mysterious light came to you, you have undergone strange changes one after another, which is caused by luck."

The fire in the stove flickered and crackled, and Gu Xuan added a handful of firewood.

"As the seniors said, the past ten years have been wasted time. I am just an ordinary person. Apart from being a little smart, there is nothing extraordinary about me."

Wang Mang sighed: "I'm not optimistic about your prospects at all. Even if you practice Taoist scriptures, your spiritual root potential is limited and it's still difficult to achieve great achievements. It wasn't until today's trial that I suddenly realized it."

Gu Xuan frowned slightly: "What exactly did senior realize?"

Wang Mang explained: "Luck can make up for the lack of spiritual roots. As long as your luck is enough and you don't give up on yourself, you still have the opportunity to advance. From now on, I will try my best to help you, and your boy may also be my chance."

Gu Xuan finally understood and couldn't help but chuckle: "Senior is so thoughtful, could it be that he had some reservations before?"

Wang Mang took it for granted: "I always have to think about myself."

"This is human nature." Gu Xuan's expression became serious, "Senior, your kindness to me is as great as a mountain, and I will never forget it."

Wang Mang was angry: "If you don't have teeth, I'm afraid I'll be buried with you. Don't say such nonsense in the future."

"Let's remember the kindness of our seniors for now, and pass the seal script to me first."

The water was boiling, and Gu Xuan stood up to make tea. A picture suddenly flashed through his mind and merged into his own memory.

Gu Xuan quickly walked to the bedroom with the teapot in hand, took out the brocade cloth and took a look, and immediately understood the seal characters on it.

"This method is wonderful!"

Gu Xuan looked happy, this was much easier than learning seal script by himself, and he quickly browsed "Phantom Skill".

Wang Mang was disdainful: "It's just a small skill. When you advance to the Gangli realm, your horizons will broaden."

…

After breakfast, Gu Xuan went to Zangdao Pavilion to receive follow-up training resources, and then called all the servants to the study.

The study room is quite large, Gu Xuan is sitting alone, and the four servants are looking at the treasures on the table with different thoughts.

Gu Xuan didn't waste any time and directly picked up the double sword and handed it to Chu Lian.

"The double-pronged sword is a low-grade talisman, so I gave it to Chu Xixi. The two of them worked together to perform the "Beginning of Spring Sword Skill", which greatly increased the power of the sword moves."

"Thank you, Master."

Chu Lian took the sword with both hands, her face was smiling, and she quickly thanked him.

Chu

But looking at the two-pronged swords, his eyelashes fluttered: "Master, one scabbard is not enough."

"Go to Ximenfang to buy one, and ask Chu Lian to get some silver."

Gu Xuan waved his hand, picked up a long sword, and glanced at Xunxi.

"The low-grade talisman was just brought from Zangdao Pavilion for you to use."

Xun Xi thanked him and took the sword, looking at it again and again, with an excited look on his face.

Xun Dong didn't have any dissatisfaction, and frequently glanced at the silver arc blade on the case, his eyes a little longing.

Gu Xuan smiled knowingly: "Xundong, I have heard you complain privately that you like to practice swordsmanship. This silver arc blade belongs to you. Take the two martial arts books together."

"Thank you, Master!"

Xun Dong's eyebrows were filled with joy, and he quickly stepped forward, took away the silver arc blade and two martial arts books, and held them tightly in his hands.

Gu Xuan explained: "The silver arc blade is only a high-grade weapon. I will find you a knife in the future. For a low-grade talisman, you focus on practicing the "Butchering Knife Skill"."

"yes."

Xun Dong nodded solemnly.

"If you take the time to practice hidden weapons, you will be able to increase your combat power." Gu Xuan pointed to the "Liuhe Skills" on the desk, "Take all the martial arts books on the bookshelf and return them to Zangdao Pavilion. I cannot be as willful as before.

"

Ximen Villa stipulates that martial arts can only be borrowed and cannot be kept privately, so many warriors simply make a copy.

Hiding martial arts secretly was Ximen Shu's past misdeeds. Gu Xuan didn't want to be used as a basis for attack, so the wooden man stakes and heavy iron armor had been returned.

Gu Xuan took out a brown wooden bottle and poured four pills out of it.

"Mid-grade essence-nourishing pills, give one to each person. Don't slack off in your practice and develop your inner strength as soon as possible."

There were eighteen middle-grade spirit-nourishing pills obtained from Lu Biao, eight pills were given to the servants, one pill each to the spirit crane and black tiger in the hunting ground, and I took one pill myself.

The remaining seven middle-grade elixirs were reserved as rations for the exclusive Linghe.

After solemnly receiving the elixir, Xun Xi felt better, while the other three looked a little ashamed.

Chu Ke sniffed, and suddenly tears filled his eyes: "I am so stupid that I can't even open the Guanyuan point."

"Practice and let nature take its course, just put your mind to it. Why are you crying?" Gu Xuan was helpless and quickly changed the subject, "Do you think you have any resistance to this?"

Chu Ke wiped away his tears, tilted his head and thought for a while: "Idiot has always been like that, dull-headed. The slave told her last time that the elixir would be stopped for a while, but there was no reaction."

Gu Xuan stood up and said, "Let me go and have a look with this young master."

…

There is a lake in Ximen Villa called Chu

The lake has thousands of hectares of blue waves and mist, covering the two islands.

Purple bamboo is planted all over Da'an Island, and stone pagodas stand there. Ximen Shu was repaired here.

Xiaoxi Island is full of green trees and luxuriant water and grass, and is a breeding ground for cranes.

A winding stone bridge connects the lakeside to Xiaoxi Island. Gu Xuan and Chu Ke walked on the bridge hand in hand and arrived at the island.

I saw more than a dozen different types of cranes, some were playing in the lake, some were combing their feathers, or soaring in the sky, it was a leisurely scene.

Near the side of the stone bridge, there are several rows of houses built for Linghe to rest and practice. A commander with a foreign surname and several subordinates also live here.

The master's surname is Liu, and he married into the Ximen family. Since his partner passed away, he has been raising cranes on the island.

Willow Palm's hair was gray and wrinkled. After some greetings, he said meaningfully: "The old man has been with the crane for many years and is well aware of its nature. He is an idiot and belongs to the young master. He seems to be lonely and dull, but it is actually caused by a heart disease. .”

Chu Ke was puzzled: "Liu Zhang Envoy, why didn't you say anything before?"

"To untie the bell, you must tie the bell." The willow palm messenger glanced at Gu Xuan, "Linghe is very understanding of human nature. I also ask Master Shu not to abandon it."

Gu Xuan carefully recalled Ximen Shu's memory, and suddenly his expression changed, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Commander Liu Zhang, for speaking frankly. I am here today, trying to untie the knot in Linghe's heart."

Commander Liu said nothing more and staggered into the house.

That trembling posture made Chu Ke keep looking at him, secretly worried that he might fall.

…

People flock together, cranes flock together.

Ten red-crowned cranes gather together to occupy a large area, and other crane species mix with each other and coexist harmoniously.

There was also a lone crane, standing alone on the rock and looking into the distance, motionless.

This crane is a fool.

The red-crowned crane has a handsome appearance, a long life, and is the most noble. It is Ximen Daomiao's exclusive car.

If necessary, Ximen Warriors can apply for other crane species to take their place.

The idiot has a petite body, black feathers, and a vermilion crown, which is very different from the snow-white feathers of the red-crowned crane.

The twin sisters were originally ordered to select Linghe, but due to his unique appearance, Chu Ke took a fancy to him.

However, Ximen Shu believed that the idiot was not worthy of his superior status, so he only visited him once and never paid attention to him again.

Even when he left the village to practice, Ximen Shu did not find a fool, but rode a sacred horse that Ximen warriors paid filial piety to.
