Gu Shuo sacrificed the Qiankun Cauldron and called out the recovered Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing showed his original shape. Gu Shuo stepped forward in the air, landed on Xiao Bing's back, and sat cross-legged. Xiao Bing spread his wings.
, like a sharp arrow, it shot into the pouring sky.
"boom……"
A bolt of thunder struck Gu Shuo.
Gu Shuo sat cross-legged and motionless, while Xiao Bing suddenly tilted his body, flapped his wings towards the falling thunder, and his body suddenly penetrated the dark clouds.
Gu Shuo looked down.
The dark clouds below were rolling, and there were layers of thunder rolling in the dark clouds. From time to time, there was a loud bang, bombarding the earth. The dark clouds below were getting farther and farther away from Gu Shuo, and the thick thunder became more and more slender. Xiaobing
Flying higher and higher, there is the bright moon and stars above. The rolling dark clouds and the exploding thunder below.
Xiaobing flew over Xifeng Pass and approached Xitieguan. Then he came to the sky above Xitieguan. With a thought in his mind, Gu Shuo entered the Qiankun Cauldron. The Qiankun Cauldron turned into a piece of gravel and was carried by Xiaobing.
In her mouth, she plunged toward the dark clouds below. As she dived downwards, her figure was shrinking rapidly. When she came out of the clouds, she had turned into a palm-sized bird.
It fell towards a forest in Xifeng Pass. It circled around the forest and then landed on the branch of an ancient tree.
He lowered his head, opened his mouth, and placed the Qiankun Cauldron, which was the size of gravel, on the thick tree trunk.
The figure flashed, and Gu Shuo appeared on the tree trunk.
"boom……"
There was a sound of thunder, illuminating the forest with snowy white!
Gu Shuo glanced around, and there was nothing else around except the roar of thunder and the dense sound of heavy rain hitting the leaves. He was still worried, so he looked around and then felt relieved. Xiao Bing returned to the world.
Ding, he sat cross-legged on a branch, letting the heavy rain pour on him.
At dawn.
The heavy rain finally stopped, the sky became darker, and then a line of white appeared on the horizon.
Gu Shuo took off his clothes and took out dry clothes from the storage ring. He then stretched out his index fingers to face each other in the air, and then drew a circle. The circle turned into a water mirror. Gu Shuo
Shuo looked at himself in the water mirror and began to control the muscle movements on his face.
His body has reached the eighth level of transcending tribulation, and he has no problem controlling his muscles. The muscles moved for a while, then stopped. Gu Shuo was wondering what he would become?
Or just change it?
After thinking about it, the face in the water mirror began to change again, and finally turned into one face, that was Yue Tonghui's face.
He couldn't turn into the face of people related to him, such as the Dahuang team, such as the Qingyun Sect monks. Thinking of the people he once knew, he thought of Yue Tonghui. Yue Tonghui had disappeared for so long, so he pretended to be for the time being.
He shouldn't be reprimanded. And even if he gets into any trouble, Yue Tonghui will take the blame, and he won't feel any guilt.
He looked down at the wine gourd hanging around his waist and frowned.
This wine gourd cannot be collected into the sea of consciousness, because there are too many high-grade magic weapons in it, and the sea of consciousness cannot bear it. But this gourd is too obvious.
Black and white.
People who are familiar with themselves will recognize their true identity from the color of this gourd.
The black and white sword-raising gourd was originally a space magic weapon, and it could not be stored in a storage ring. Gu Shuo thought for a while, took out a talisman pen, and then took out the talisman ink, and began to draw talismans on the black and white sword-raising gourd.
The sky was getting brighter, and Gu Shuo finished drawing the last stroke. Then he saw that the talismans on the sword-raising gourd were connected together, and Gu Shuo drew a talisman array. The talisman array rippled for a while, and then converged. But the gourd's
The color changed and became the normal gourd color, just like a real small gourd.
Gu Shuo hung the gourd on his waist again and used the withered cicada technique. Gu Shuo's aura quickly dropped, and finally he appeared to be in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Then he jumped off the ancient tree and walked out of the woods.
Gu Shuo first went to find an inn to stay, and then started walking around Xitieguan.
He had been to Xitieguan many times and was no stranger to Xitieguan. He knew that he needed to find a place to settle down and could not stay in an inn all the time.
If you have been living in an inn and doing nothing all day long, you will definitely be suspected. No monk can live in an inn for several years. Therefore, he must find a place for himself to live.
While walking on the street, he thought about how he could live in Xitieguan.
One way is to rent or buy a small courtyard in a residential area and live in seclusion there. Another way is to rent or buy a shop and live in seclusion as a shop owner.
In terms of method, it is definitely the second one. Having a business will provide a good cover. As for the first method, over time, it will also attract attention.
Then choose the second one.
So there is another question, what kind of business do you do?
The monk's business is very simple, it is nothing more than the four major auxiliaries, the alchemy weapon array.
Of course, what he is most proficient in is weapon refining, but Gu Shuo immediately rejected this business. Although his biggest purpose of seclusion is to heal his wounds, he cannot waste time.
If you open a weapon-refining shop, what level of weapons can you refine?
If you just refine those magic weapons, it will not help you in your pursuit of weapon refining. If you don't want to waste time, you must refine magic weapons, and they are high-grade magic weapons, which is too conspicuous. What he wants is to be in harmony with the light.
, making people unaware. So he rejected the idea instantly.
There was no need to think about making formations. He had almost no training in making formations, and he had no inheritance at hand, so he only had to make talismans and refine alchemy.
He quickly decided to take the path of alchemy. Now he is also a yellow-level alchemist. He can refine the Little Infant Pill. But he can only refine the Little Infant Pill. He cannot refine the Big Infant Pill yet. He is now
He is at a low-to-medium-level yellow-level level. And he has no shortage of inheritance. He also read a lot of yellow-level alchemy inheritance in Tianmeng. This period of time is just the right time for him to become a true yellow-level alchemy master.
Now that we have made up our mind, the next step is to choose a place.
He didn't want to find the busiest place, but a relatively remote place. After all, his main purpose was to heal his wounds, not to make elixirs. He first came to the busiest main street of Xitieguan. On this street, there were many shops.
.These shops are from various sects in Tianxuan, or shops established here by various big families.
This is a wide vertical street, very long.
But on this wide vertical street, there are also horizontal streets.
This vertical street is like a straight line, dividing the city of Xitieguan into two halves, and the horizontal streets are equivalent to horizontal lines.
Therefore, this vertical street is called the main street by merchants, while the horizontal streets are called side streets by merchants.
The shops on the main street naturally have the best business, but they are also the most expensive whether to rent or buy. The business on the side street is much worse than the business on the main street. Of course, the rental and purchase costs are also higher than those on the main street.
Much lower.
Gu Shuo just wanted to find a side street and buy a shop on the side street.
There are many side streets, so the business quality of each side street is different. Gu Shuo wanted to be inconspicuous, so he finally chose one street.
This street is called Zhaobi Street.
This street is not the most prosperous among the side streets, nor is it the most depressed. It is average.
Such a street is the least conspicuous in the West Railway Pass, making it easier to hide. Gu Shuo walked back and forth on this street for a few times, then chose a shop and pushed the door open and walked in.
The store is small.
In addition to the counter and the shelves behind the counter, it can only accommodate about fifteen people. There is also a door behind the counter that leads to the backyard.
There was only one old man in the shop, and there were no customers in the room. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the old man raised his head and saw Gu Shuo, with a smile on his face:
"What do you want to buy, sir?"
Gu Shuo glanced at the shelves behind the counter, and he knew what was going on.
No wonder the business of this shop is not good. The elixirs sold are all very low-grade elixirs, and the quality is probably very average. I can smell the smell of herbs from the old man's body, so I guess these elixirs were refined by this old man.
"Fellow Taoist, is your store for sale?" Gu Shuo didn't come to you in vain, but asked directly.
The old man's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, you want to buy?"
"That's what it means."
"This is the main city, and the prices are not cheap."
"How Taoist fellow Taoist wants to sell it, I have to see first."
"OK!"
The old man got up and closed the shop. Then he took Gu Shuo through the back door. Through the back door, there was a small courtyard, which was really not big. There were three rooms in the backyard. The old man introduced:
"The room in the middle is where I practice and rest. The room on the left is where I receive guests, and the room on the right is where I refine alchemy. If fellow Taoist monks are satisfied, we will discuss the price."
Gu Shuo nodded and said: "I really want to buy it, but Taoist friend really wants to sell it?"
The old man looked at Gu Shuo's deep eyes and suppressed some thoughts. Then he sighed and said:
"To be honest, I am a casual cultivator. After finally saving some spiritual stones, I bought this small shop and planned to settle here and spend the rest of my life. But..."
Speaking of this, he said bitterly: "To be honest, the business is not very good. But I am not losing money, I just don't make much. I originally spent 800 high-grade spiritual stones to buy this shop. I don't want more, you give it to me.
A thousand high-grade spiritual stones and the elixirs in the store will be given to you."
Gu Shuo thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
To be honest, a thousand high-grade spiritual stones are a lot more expensive. In his opinion, he can win this shop with only 600 high-grade spiritual stones. However, Gu Shuo has no time to grind now, and a thousand high-grade spiritual stones are not enough for this loose product.
Xiu may think it's a lot, but to Gu Shuo, it's a drop in the bucket.
The casual cultivator took the spirit stone and accompanied Gu Shuo to the Xitieguan Trading Hall to transfer the property. The two broke up in front of the hall, but Gu Shuo did not return directly to the shop, but returned to the trading hall. Here
There are many trading projects, including hiring people.
Gu Shuo couldn't sit in the shop selling goods every day, so he needed to hire one person. For such a small shop, one person was enough. The trading hall handled the matter quickly. First, he was given a jade slip.
The brief is a personal information. It is very detailed, including the person's origin, experience, what he has done in Xifeng Pass, and how long he has been doing it. In the end, Gu Shuo chose a female cultivator in the foundation building period.
After receiving the notice from the trading hall, the female cultivator came quickly. She looked very ordinary and had a simple and honest face. Gu Shuo chatted with her for a while, she was a very down-to-earth person, so he negotiated the price with her and gave it to the hall.
After paying for the introduction, he took the woman named Zhu Sanniang back to the shop.
This shop was called Zhonghe Shop, and Gu Shuo didn't want to change the name, so he kept the original plaque. He asked Zhu Sanniang to come in and clean the house, while he moved a deck chair and sat outside the door.
To the left of his shop is a talisman-making shop called Qianfu Shop, and the owner of the shop is Song Jinshui. This Song Jinshui is a young monk and a disciple of the Qianfu Sect.
The Thousand Talisman Sect is also a second-rate sect after the four super sects. Although the sect does not have great tribulation monks, the monks are also very powerful in combat, because the monks of the Thousand Talisman Sect are all Talisman cultivators and carry them with them everywhere.
Lots of talismans.
Song Jinshui is the son of the third elder of the Qianfu Sect. Although he has a high status in the sect, he also thinks highly of himself and has his own pride. However, this person has quite good talents, understanding and temperament. He is willing to endure hardships.
After he broke through the Nascent Soul, he left the sect and traveled around the world. After traveling for two years, he came to Xitieguan. He had some insights in his heart and settled here.
If Gu Shuo came here to open a shop to heal his wounds, Song Jinshui came here to open a shop to calm down and seek breakthroughs.
Today, he happened to be communicating and chatting in the backyard with two good friends he had made in Xitieguan. The three of them are all talisman cultivators and have known each other for more than a year. The atmosphere of the exchange was very lively. In addition to the exchange, they also talked about
There are romantic stories, interesting stories about the rivers and lakes. When talking about the rivers and lakes, it is natural to mention Gu Shuo.
The three of them all admired Gu Shuo very much. It was impossible not to admire him. He was chased for thousands of miles by a great monk in the late stage of the Tribulation, and finally escaped.
"Speaking of which, when Bai Sect Leader was chasing Gu Shuo and passed by Xitie Pass, I happened to be at the top of the city. I was frightened by the six-armed man. Do you think the six-armed man is a demon or a human?"
Song Jinshui said: "The news I got is that the six-armed man is called Bai Jugu, and he was once the leader of the Eastern White Bone Sect."
"Pa!" Fan Yuan slapped his thigh: "You said that and I remembered it. Decades ago, it was rumored that the White Bone Sect was destroyed by a six-armed man. It turned out to be this six-armed man. Then how did he get along with Gu?
Did you get a piece of it?"
"Who knows!" Song Jinshui shook his head.
Gu Shuo was lying on the recliner, holding the sword-raising gourd in his hand. He took a sip of Kuchan wine from time to time, squinting his eyes in the sun and carefully sensing the yin and yang meaning in Kuchan wine.
Song Jinshui sent two friends out. He turned his head and saw Gu Shuo lying on the recliner. The three of them looked stunned. It turned out that they all knew the owners of the shop. After all, they were Song Jinshui's neighbors, and those two people
He also often came to Song Jinshui's place. Song Jinshui pondered for a while, then came over and cupped his hands and said:
"Fellow Taoist, please come!"
