Gu Shuo was wearing a white robe with flowing silver hair. He was slowly doing Tai Chi on the green grass. Not far away, by the river, people from the caravan were washing up and looked up at Gu Shuo.
, and began to prepare breakfast. They were already used to Gu Shuo's slow boxing skills every day.
Liu Hong came back from the river, with drops of water on her face. She looked at Gu Shuo's stretched figure, flowing clouds and flowing water, elegant and light, with a look of curiosity in his eyes.
"Is this your boxing technique?" Yunlou came over from the other side and was equally curious.
He is dressed in green clothes and is tall. When he walks, he moves like a dragon or a tiger. His ancient Shuo boxing skills are non-stop:
"As we get older, we just need to keep in shape." Then he moved his hands like a cloud, bringing up a trace of morning mist.
Yunlou smiled and saw that Gu Shuo was concentrating on boxing and stopped talking. He turned around and saw Liu Hong. She had just washed up and there were still water drops on her face, like dew on the petals, which made Yunlou feel sad.
After a while, he showed a bright smile to Liu Hong. Liu Hong returned the smile faintly and walked towards her tent.
Liu Hong is the employer, and he is the bodyguard. Yunlou is able to adjust his position. Although the thought of climbing up to Liu Hong flashes in his mind, he does not eat, drink, and live a poor life, and does not have to use resources for cultivation.
He was worried and taking risks, but he also knew rationally that the possibility was extremely slim. He glanced at Gu Shuo who was boxing, then turned and left.
"Miss, is Grandpa Gu boxing?" Liu Hong's maid Chunxiang came out of the tent and happened to bump into Liu Hong coming back, and asked curiously.
"It should be so." Liu Hong was also unsure: "Maybe it's the old man's boxing technique."
Two-quarters of an hour later, the caravan set off again. Thirty-three people riding thirty-three horses galloped on the official road.
Chunxiang patted her horse and came to Gu Shuo's side: "Grandpa Gu, what's the name of the punch you hit?"
The voices in the team became quieter, and many people listened attentively.
In fact, no one thinks that Gu Shuo is strong and looks very old, so they all regard him as an old monk who is in the Qi refining stage and who builds the most foundations. And among this team, the person with the lowest cultivation level is also in the foundation building stage, so
It's the maid Chunhua, who is both in the late stage of foundation building. But it doesn't stop them from being curious about Gu Shuo's boxing skills.
"Tai Chi!" Gu Shuo said with a smile.
"Can I hit someone?" Chunxiang asked, tilting her head.
"It might work!"
"I don't believe it! It's so slow that you can't even hit mosquitoes, gurgling..."
"Grandpa Gu, you are so old. Why do you still come out alone? It is very dangerous."
"It's just because I'm old that I come out to see it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have time to see it."
Everyone felt this in their hearts. Although they were all young and still had a long life, they would die at any time if they were walking around with their heads in their belts. If they died without seeing the mountains and rivers, they would have to say that they were dead.
A person's life is regretful. For example, this ancient grandfather is probably very poor in qualifications and talents. He has stayed at home and practiced all his life, and it was only a period of Qi refining or foundation building. Seeing that his longevity was not long, he thought of coming out to take a look.
At this moment, they all understood Gu Shuo.
Liu Hong's eyes softened a lot and she said: "After arriving in Longhe City, if Grandpa Gu wants to visit Longhe City, you can stay in my house."
"That's great, I need a place to stay when I'm traveling on a budget!"
"Qiongyou?" Liu Hong blinked, confused.
"If you can do it without spending money, don't spend it. If you can spend less, then spend less. There's no way, you're poor!"
"Giggle..." Chunxiang laughed so hard that her branches trembled, and Liu Hong also covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Grandpa Gu." Yunlou also came up: "Where have you traveled? Can you tell us about it?"
"When I was young, I followed my elders on ancient trails."
"Grandpa Gu has been to the ancient road?"
No one believed it. Gu Shuo's senile appearance now proved that his qualifications were not good, and his cultivation must not have been very good when he was young. How could he dare to go to the ancient path?
It is also impossible for elders to take them there. When elders take juniors to the ancient path, they are all disciples with excellent qualifications and talents. How can they bring a loser?
A trace of recollection flashed across Gu Shuo's face and he said: "When I was young, my qualifications and talents were very good. The clan still treated me as a young child, so the elders of the clan took me to practice the ancient path. But that's all.
During that ancient road experience, I injured my foundation, alas..."
Everyone suddenly felt sorry for Gu Shuo.
Barabara...
Gu Shuo began to tell these people about the ancient road. These people had never been to the ancient road. They knew that the ancient road had countless opportunities, but it was also dangerous. Countless people died on the ancient road every year. Therefore, they who had never been to the ancient road
, became even more curious about the ancient road. Coupled with Gu Shuo's eloquence, these people were fascinated by what he said.
After walking like this for a few more days, Gu Shuo became the most popular person in this caravan. Unless the person is extremely evil, everyone has sympathy. If this person has not harmed his own interests, then he will be even more sympathetic.
In this way, Gu Shuo is the most sympathetic person in this team. In addition, Gu Shuo eloquently tells them some rumors that they have never heard. Some of these rumors are his personal experience, and some are obtained from Qingyun Sect Zhiguai.
According to legend, this made him even more popular with the team.
An absolute favorite of the old group!
This day.
At dusk.
While everyone was setting up camp, they heard the sound of horse hoofbeats coming from the official road. Yunlou and others immediately put down their work and jumped up. They quickly pulled out their weapons, lined up their formation, and were ready to fight at any time.
Prepare.
Gu Shuo also carried a tent with him. At this time, the little girl Chunxiang was helping him set up the tent. The two of them also straightened up and turned around. They saw dozens of monks stopping on the official road and looking this way.
come over.
"Hey, come and see!"
"What are you looking at?" shouted a leading monk: "We will camp over there."
"No, captain, look over there!"
The monks looked over and their eyes fell on Liu Hong. Today, Liu Hong was dressed in emerald green and stood on the grass, like a grass elf.
The leading monk glared at the monks, lowered his voice and said, "Please calm down, that's the eldest lady of the Liu family in Longhe City. I'll go say hello to her."
"Wow, the eldest lady of the Liu family, whoever wants to marry her will not have to worry about anything in the future!"
"Who is that person?"
"Something familiar!"
"It seems to be a cloud tower."
"Yes, that's him. Let's go say hello."
"Crash..."
These people jumped off their horses and walked towards Yunlou, but their eyes were looking in Liu Hong's direction.
Liu Hong, who was in the fusion realm, could naturally hear their words clearly. She looked at the leading monk approaching, but ignored them and turned around and walked into the tent she had set up.
"Brother Lingyun!" When the monks saw that Liu Hong's figure had disappeared, they walked towards the Yun Tower with a cheer.
"Brother Lingyun?" Gu Shuo was a little surprised and asked Chunxiang in a low voice: "Isn't his name Yunlou?"
"Old man, you are behind the times." At this moment, one of the new monks said to Gu Shuo: "Who among the monks today doesn't have a nickname? This Yunlou's nickname is Ling Yun.
swordsman."
The corner of Gu Shuo's mouth twitched, thinking of his unbearable time on the ancient road.
"I know, I know!" Chunxiang raised her little hand and said, "Since Senior Gushuo of the Qingyun Sect became famous in the world as a swordsman of the Dragon Gate, the monks nowadays all give themselves a nickname."
When Gu Shuo heard this, his eyelids jumped a few times and his face was speechless. It turned out that he had promoted the nickname.
"Brother Liang!" At this time, Yunlou cupped his hands towards the leading monk and said, "What are you doing?"
"This time we sent a batch of resources to the Hai family. We went hunting on the way back and the harvest was good. This time we returned to Longhe City to prepare for repairs for a period of time. Are you protecting the Liu family?"
"Um!"
Liang Daozhi patted Yunlou's shoulder boldly: "Since we have met, we will go together. We will camp next to you and have a drink in the evening."
Yunlou frowned slightly, feeling unhappy when Liang Daozhi slapped him on the shoulder. But he was in the early stage of fusion, and Liang Daozhi was in the middle stage of fusion. Even though he was unhappy, the other party didn't go too far, so he had to endure it. However, he still declined politely.
road:
"Brother Liang, there's no problem in setting up camp, but drinking is okay. You also know that you can't drink while serving as a escort."
"Okay, let's set up camp first."
"Hula la..." Those people camped a hundred meters away from Gu Shuo and the others. They also started to camp here.
A monk walked to the side of Gu Shuo and while helping to set up the tent, he lowered his voice and said:
"Old man, be careful."
"What?" Gu Shuo also lowered his voice.
"Liang Daozhi is different from us. We are pure bodyguards and do nothing else except bodyguards. But Liang Daozhi and the others are half bodyguards and half adventurers."
Gu Shuo understood in his heart that bodyguards are dedicated to protecting caravans or individuals, that is, full-time protection. Adventures are a lot more complicated. They can go hunting, explore dangerous ruins, and even occasionally kill people and seize treasures.
Activities.
Such people will explode into rebellion at any time, and whether they decide to rebel depends solely on whether they will benefit or not.
"The reputation is very bad?" Gu Shuo asked in a low voice.
"It's not bad, otherwise they wouldn't have half the time to work as bodyguards. In that case, no one would dare to hire them."
Gu Shuo nodded and continued to set up his tent.
Half an hour later, the tents on both sides were pitched, and the meat on the campfire was roasting with fragrance. Liang Daozhi shouted towards Yunlou:
"Brother Yun, come and get together."
The other monks also called out to the other monks here. It seemed that both parties were familiar with each other, at least they knew each other's names. For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely warm.
