Chapter 397 The matchmaker comes to your door, a piece of trust
Gu Chang was sitting at the table, reading the sample magazine of <Immortal Way> carefully, holding a pen in his hand to make notes, looking particularly serious.
He has read this publication three times, and he has read two articles over and over again at least seven or eight times. The corners of the pages are filled with his dense thoughts and insights.
When he first read this book, it was actually more because this book was given to him by Zheng Sect Leader--
He is not a heartless person. For someone with such qualifications, Sect Leader teaches him so earnestly, which is really a painstaking effort.
In addition, he naturally wants to find a way to change his destiny or his Spirit Root qualifications.
But the more I read it later, the more I found the articles in it to be interesting. He was not very qualified, but he thought he was pretty smart, and his scores in many subjects on University Island were considered excellent.
At first, he could only understand one to two percent of the articles in this issue <Immortal Way>. Later, after reading for a long time, he found about one-third of the articles, and he thought he understood roughly.
Of course, he has never learned many things, and most of the time, he still finds them incomprehensible.
But this was enough for him to understand how special <Immortal Way> was:
This book is different from the Nine Mountains Sect, no, Xuanwei Realm or any previous Cultivation Method or secret book--
It's obviously all about content that is deeply related to the cultivation of immortality, but very few of it involves specific cultivation.
Just like the name of this journal <Immortal Way>, this book is not about the level of cultivation, but a discussion of the most essential principles of cultivation.
There was an article called "Linked-Talisman Technique Three Points of Deficiency and Improvement", which was full of Topology and rune knowledge. He felt familiar with it at first sight, but this article seemed to be extremely useful, so it was placed on the front of the magazine, and the author was also rewarded with many Merit.
It can even be said that this journal values wisdom more than cultivation, let alone qualifications.
He somewhat understood why Sect Leader wanted to give this book to him.
"Merit..."
Gu Chang gently closed <Immortal Way> and habitually organized his thoughts in a low voice:
"There is no article about Spirit Root, but it cannot be said that there will not be any in the future..."
"Even if it doesn't happen in the future, this journal is still a way for me to earn Merit!"
"In other words, can I study Spirit Root myself? If there are results, Merit will be the same..."
"However, Spirit Root..."
He had heard that <Immortal Way> had just been published not long ago, and it seemed that it was not difficult to submit an article. There were one or two articles in it that were quite easy to read.
At least from Gu Chang's point of view, it is not difficult to understand.
Study more and earn Merit through research, there may be some hope.
But with my own level of cultivation, if I want to study Spirit Root, it's another matter -
Spirit Root is Xuanwei Realm which has been said since ancient times. Hasn't there been smart people studying this issue throughout the ages?
In fact, I am afraid that there are monks who are much stronger than myself and have studied this issue.
But now I don't see any changes.
Single-Spirit Root, genius.
Multi-Spirit Root, waste.
It is almost Xuanwei Realm recognized truth.
He is Qi Refinement First Layer...
He still remembered Zheng Fa's saying that knowledge changes destiny, but at this moment, another voice said coldly in his ear over and over again: You can't do what so many geniuses have failed to do.
Listening carefully again, the voice was actually his own.
Gu Chang It is really difficult to make up his mind - apart from other things, this journal is a bit expensive for him, and the money spent to buy the journal is enough to make him feel distressed. However, there is a 99% chance that this matter will not yield any results.
There was a soft knock on the door.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and his father stood at the door, seeming to apologize for disturbing his reading, and whispered, "Auntie Chen is back with news."
Gu Chang felt a little uncomfortable on his face, out of embarrassment.
Auntie Chen is their neighbor and he also plays matchmaker on weekdays.
He had previously felt that Dao Path was hopeless, wanted to return to Paradise Island to teach, and was looking for a wife to live with.
There are two reasons:
On the one hand, my parents have not yet gotten rid of their mortal thinking and always feel that at this age, they should have married and had children long ago.
On the other hand, he also wants to give birth to a child with good qualifications and educate him well. If he becomes a child in the future, he won't have to worry about resources.
So my parents asked Aunt Chen to do it.
Gu Chang followed his parents to the main room.
Aunt Chen was sitting on a chair, sipping tea. Although this tea was not expensive, her parents were reluctant to drink it.
As soon as she saw him, Aunt Chen put the tea cup on the table with a clang sound, as if she was extremely excited.
She touched the corners of her lips and asked for credit in a high-pitched and even sharp tone:
"Brother Chang, my aunt has searched hard for you this time, and the soles of her shoes are worn out."
Gu Chang I don't know how to deal with it.
But the parents on the side were already grateful.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Auntie Chen seemed a little unhappy.
His father was behind him and gave him a gentle push.
Gu Chang then spoke, "Thank you for your hard work, Auntie."
Auntie Chen then laughed again and said, "We are all neighbors, so why bother? I just thought that Brother Chang, you are an outer disciple with an extraordinary status, and I wanted to find you a perfect one with no faults, so I put a lot of thought into it."
After hearing this, Gu Chang felt grateful, and the smile on his face was no longer so stiff.
"That girl has such a good appearance and figure!" Auntie Chen opened his palms next to Gu Chang's lower lip and described, "So tall!"
He spread his palms again and gestured. "That little face is half the size of my hand."
Then he circled his waist. "My waist is three times thicker than others!"
Gu Chang Listened, the corners of his mouth pursed, but a tall girl appeared in his heart, smiling brightly at him.
"Not to mention how good she looks, she also has a good background!"
Gu Chang was startled and looked at Auntie Chen: "Where are you from?"
"This girl's surname is Sun. You may not know this, but she is a branch of True Disciple in the sect!"
"True Disciple? Brother Jin Alchemist?"
Now, even Gu Chang was scared.
"Isn't it? Do you think this background is good? Auntie, tell the truth, we are climbing a high tree!"
Gu Chang's parents looked at each other at the side, the joy on their faces could not be concealed.
Unexpectedly, the aunt said again, "I heard that this girl also has the talent of cultivating immortals. She is still Three-Spirit Root! She just didn't do well in the exam. She didn't get enough marks last time and didn't join the sect."
"Auntie, she... will fall in love with me?"
Gu Chang asked suddenly, the inferiority complex in his heart reappeared on his face.
"How can I not like it!" Auntie Chen slapped his hands and said decisively, "As the girl said, I like to be regarded as a good learner!"
"I'll study hard with you from now on, and maybe I can pass the exam!"
Gu Chang heard this, not only was he not angry, but his face became more at ease - to be honest, he was even more afraid that the other party would have nothing to ask for.
He has even begun to fantasize about life after marriage:
After the Sun Family girl got married, he helped her with tutoring and tutoring, and she was admitted to the sect.
In the future, no matter what the two outer disciples do, it will not be difficult to earn Merit. They will support each other and live a good life.
If you give birth to a child with some qualifications, your life will be more promising.
As for researching Spirit Root, this is not something I can imagine...
Like Sect Leader said, being a good teacher may be a better choice.
Auntie Chen saw the joy on his expression growing more and more, and teased, "Do you like it?"
"It's worth it, it's worth it!" Gu Chang's father kept saying, "It would be great if they don't dislike us!"
"I don't dislike it, but I don't dislike it... that's right." Auntie Chen seemed to be hesitant and said, "This girl doesn't value these things, but everyone has a father and a mother, and she always wants to find her daughter, someone who can be entrusted to her for life..."
"Auntie means..."
"Sun Family people said that I want some Merit as a betrothal gift. How much is not a problem, the main thing is to have a good feeling."
Gu Chang had some bad expectations in his mind, but he still asked without giving up, "How much does it mean that you are thoughtful?"
Auntie Chen stretched out a slap and turned it over.
"..."
Gu Chang After all, although he is not very rich, he can still borrow these Merit.
"It's not impossible..."
Although he hesitated a little, he nodded his head lightly.
He also learned that the bride price for a woman with Spirit Root is indeed quite high - it is rumored that the better the mother Spirit Root, the better the qualifications of the child she will give birth to.
On the other hand, he feels that no matter how hard he works in the future, this debt will not be too big.
"The other thing is this girl's idea. She wants to become an immortal."
Gu Chang was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of this sentence.
"What she wants is that she will be in charge of Merit at home in the future. She is Three-Spirit Root, and you are Four-Spirit Root. It is best to use Merit closely."
Gu Chang felt like he was falling downwards, his heart was pressing hard against his ribs, leaving him speechless.
Only then did he slowly understand.
The reason why Miss Sun chose him is also very simple:
One, he is Mathematics good and can help the other person pass the exam in the future.
This is certainly not a big deal.
Second, what the other party values is... his low qualifications.
Compared with the Four-Spirit Root next to him, if he, Four-Spirit Root, were not too focused on Mathematics, his efficiency in earning Merit would not be lower -
Because Topology has good talent, Talisman Arts is actually stronger and can complete tasks within the sect very quickly.
If you become a teacher in the future, you will have more Merit income.
And he is Four-Spirit Root after all, so what Miss Sun probably thinks is that if she, Three-Spirit Root, marries him, she can use his resources to practice in the future.
This is naturally unacceptable to him.
But the parents on the side were nodding.
It seems that it should be.
Seeing his worried expression, his father replied:
"If your daughter-in-law is strong, your grandson will also live a good life in the future."
"We don't care so much."
Gu Chang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but looked at his father's yellow face, hands like chicken feet, and expectant eyes, but he held back.
But Auntie Chen spoke again:
"Sun Tzu, the other party also has an opinion on this matter..."
"Ah?"
Now, even Gu Chang's parents were a little surprised.
"That girl said that if she gives birth to a child in the future, if Three-Spirit Root goes down, then she has no idea."
"But if it's Dual-Spirit Root and up, the first child must be named Sun."
At this time, even Gu's father was stunned.
"Your surname is Sun? How can this be done?"
"Hey, let me tell you, this is a trivial matter... Dual-Spirit Root, is it so easy to give birth?"
Auntie Chen Seeing that Father Gu seemed hesitant, he quickly said, "Isn't this request the same as nothing?"
Gu Chang's parents are always honest, but these words are right, and they can't help but nod.
But Gu Chang couldn't help it.
"Auntie Chen, this kiss is beyond my reach."
He was young after all, and although he suppressed his anger, his face was still livid.
"Brother Chang, what are you talking about... This girl has taken a liking to you!"
"I mean, Qi Dafei..."
Auntie Chen Seeing what he said, he also suppressed his smile and said, "Brother Chang, if you don't like such a good girl, I won't be able to give you a wife in the future..."
Gu Chang's voice suddenly rose. "From now on, I won't talk about kissing anymore!"
Seeing that he was really angry, Auntie Chen seemed to be afraid and hurriedly left.
The parents on the side didn't understand, and looked at him with some reproach.
Gu Chang took a deep breath and suppressed the anxiety in his heart, but his tone was still stiff:
"Dad, this Miss Sun will never be your daughter-in-law, nor will she be nice to your grandson."
Father Gu murmured, "How do you say this?"
"Our children, from Dual-Spirit Root on up, will all have the surname Sun. The surname is Sun, and Sun Family is powerful, so this child was born to the Sun Family!"
"Isn't this... Dual-Spirit Root is difficult to give birth to?"
"But this Miss Sun herself is Three-Spirit Root!" Gu Chang is already smart. Some of the fantasies he had before were just because he had never really experienced marriage, but now he realized that the more he thought about it, the more he understood.
"What she means, I'm afraid, is that she doesn't like children under Three-Spirit Root... Just give them to us."
Gu's father stopped talking, but Gu's mother still didn't quite understand:
"Isn't this great?"
"What's good? Miss Sun will not raise children with lower qualifications than herself! If our children don't get Dual-Spirit Root, they won't get any Cultivation Resources at all!"
Only then did Gu's mother understand. "Dual-Spirit Root belongs to the Sun Family, and Merit belongs to her. There's nothing she can do if she doesn't give it to us. This..."
Gu Chang nodded slowly.
"Miss Sun is not good, then let's find another girl..."
After a moment of silence, Gu Chang said seriously, "Father, mother, I have already thought about the matter of getting married. There is no rush for now."
"It's not urgent?" Looking at his father and his mother, there was some resistance on his face, "What if it's not urgent? You are not in a hurry, we are!"
Seeing that they were about to explode, Gu Chang immediately said, "I met Sect Leader before. He valued me very much... and even gave me a book!"
"Zheng Sect Leader?"
Hearing the words Sect Leader, Gu's father and mother's expressions suddenly changed, as if they had suddenly regained their senses.
"Yes!"
"He values you?"
"Look at it! I have all the books!" Gu Chang said smartly, "He also told me to teach and study hard so that I can change Spirit Root's qualifications in the future!"
"Change Spirit Root?" After all, we live in the Nine Mountains Realm. Many Xuanwei Realm monks have common sense. As mortals, Gu's father and mother also know, "Spirit Root can also be changed?"
"Sect Leader said..."
Father Gu immediately said, "That should be right!"
"But that book is valuable. If you want to complete this method in the future, you will have to spend money." Gu Chang Seeing the opportunity, he took the opportunity to persuade, "I'm afraid I have to use the Merit I have in my hand and the Merit I will earn in the future. I want to marry a better wife, but I don't have the money."
"This..."
When Gu's mother heard this, she hesitated. "Then the grandson will be gone?"
"You said, Sect Leader asked you to do this?" Father Gu stared at him and asked, "Seriously?"
Gu Chang nodded seriously with a straight face - Sect Leader said the first half of the sentence, and he understood the second half, no problem.
"Then I won't rush you."
"Yes!"
Gu Chang ran out of the house and bought two more issues of the previous <Immortal Way> journal.
Gu Family In the lobby, Gu's mother was still complaining. "Why don't you push me? If you don't push me, when will you have a grandson?"
"Grandson..." Father Gu sat down at the table, "If it weren't for Sect Leader, let alone the good life we have now, what would we think about our grandson if our lives were gone?"
"That's not necessary..."
"You don't understand, son, he is not willing to give in!" Father Gu said again, "This Miss Sun relies on her qualifications and family background to bully others like this. We can't help, so don't embarrass him."
"But... can it really change Spirit Root? If it doesn't happen in the future, then Brother Chang won't he waste his whole life?"
Of course, Father Gu couldn't guarantee it. He was silent for a long time and then said something completely wrong, "Sect Leader, it won't harm us."
After hearing this, Gu's mother nodded slowly, convinced by these inexplicable words.
