Chapter 685 Settling down

"How did you talk?"

Gu Shuai suddenly stood up, his calm and intimidating look immediately startled the waiter.

The waiter immediately reacted and shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper, someone is drinking Bawang tea, please report it to the officer!"

The diners in the teahouse looked over one after another.

"These guys are so well dressed, why can't they even drink tea?"

"That's right. It seems like he's just trying to show off his appearance and pretend to be fat."

As the waiter shouted, the fat shopkeeper rushed over with seven or eight waiters.

"Fuck me!"

The shopkeeper shouted angrily.

This group of waiters swarmed up and beat Gu Shuai on the spot. Gu Shuai was able to fight back a few times at first, but there were so many people on the other side that he couldn't beat him with two fists and couldn't beat him with four hands.

Hollyhock's real person looks at his nose and his heart, looking like he has nothing to do with himself.

Bu Qingyun seemed to want to help but was held back by Bu Qingyu.

"Stop fighting."

Fang Yunmeng took off an earring and threw it to the shopkeeper: "I'll pay the bill with it."

When the shopkeeper saw that the earrings were exquisite in style and seemed to be made of precious materials, a look of greed suddenly flashed in his eyes. He immediately asked the waiter to stop, and then said to Fang Yunmeng with a smile:

"Girl, this earring can just pay for the tea. If you don't have cash in the future, please let me know in advance to avoid misunderstanding, right?

Okay, okay, it's all over, it's all over, it was just a misunderstanding."

The matter was settled in this way, but when everyone saw Gu Shuai's bruised nose and swollen face, they couldn't help but feel a little cold in their hearts.

Having lost their cultivation, how are they different from ordinary people now? A golden elixir like Gu Shuai could be beaten up by a few boys in a teahouse. If someone wants to kill them...

"If we die here, will we really die, right?"

Bu Qingyu said suddenly.

Everyone suddenly understood that perhaps the danger in the illusion lies here...

Gu Shuai's face was ashen. He never thought that one day he would be beaten up by the mortal ants in his eyes.

Fortunately, all this was an illusion, and the one who beat him was not a real mortal, but an illusion.

Thinking of this, Gu Shuai's mood calmed down a little.

After this happened, no one could stay here any longer.

After leaving the teahouse, they started walking around Ishikawa Prefecture, and before they knew it, it was getting dark.

"It's not an option to continue like this. Originally, we wanted to break it with force, but now... how are we different from ordinary people?

Only by finding the core of the illusion can we escape, otherwise... I'm afraid I will be trapped here forever..."

Master Hollyhock's face was solemn. After finishing speaking, he actually felt a little cold and subconsciously tightened his clothes.

When everyone saw this scene, their expressions became even more ugly.

The weather seems to be getting cooler...

"There is a pawn shop in front of us. We have pawned everything we can, and we will settle down first."

Bu Qingyun pointed to a pawn shop on the corner of the intersection ahead.

Everyone agreed, but after sorting it out, they found that except for Fang Yunmeng and Bu Qingyu who had some jewelry that could be used as jewelry, the rest of the people had no hair unless they also used their clothes.

As monks, they cannot allow themselves to be in such a state of poverty that they can't even pawn their clothes.

"That's all. I'll pawn this treasured garment of mine. I should be able to exchange it for a lot of money. When the illusion is broken, I can get it back."

Bu Qingyun hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and started to take off his clothes.

"Look at your precious clothes, have they become ordinary?"

Fang Chen said suddenly.

Bu Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously tore hard, resulting in a tear in the treasure clothes on the spot.

"How is that possible... It should be a high-grade yellow-level magic weapon, with seventy-two soul seals..."

Bu Qingyun murmured to himself.

"Illusions are all illusions, and all of this is false."

Gu Shuai said firmly.

Bu Qingyun also felt that this was the case and stopped worrying about the matter. Since the clothes had become ordinary, he could only pawn the two women's accessories.

Not long after, Bu Qingyun walked out of the pawn shop, holding some broken silver in his hand, totaling thirteen taels.

"That's it?"

Gu Shuai frowned slightly.

Master Hollyhock sighed softly: "Find a place to stay first, I seem to be a little hungry..."

Not to mention golden elixirs, monks in the Qi refining stage can live without food. Now they feel hungry and are becoming more and more similar to mortals.

That night, everyone stayed at an inn, had a meal, and spent twenty taels of silver.

The next day, the six people in total might have to stay here for a while, and they couldn't live in the inn every day, so Bu Qingyun came forward to find the Yaren here and rented a dilapidated courtyard in the southern suburbs of Ishikawa County.

Although the yard is dilapidated, it is at least cheap and has tiles to protect it from the rain and walls to protect it from the wind.

Neighbors nearby were curious about the origins of the six people, but they all watched from a distance and did not come forward to say hello.

There are three rooms in the courtyard. Gu Shuai chose one room with Bu Qingyun, and another room with Bu Qingyu and Fang Yunmeng.

Fang Chen naturally lived in the same room as Master Hollyhock.

It was almost noon when everything was settled, and the money in everyone's hands had basically bottomed out.

"We can't sit back and rest in vain. We have to find a way to find some money and at the same time find the core of this illusion."

Bu Qingyun looked solemn and glanced at everyone. He hesitated when his eyes fell on Master Hollyhock and Fang Chen.

"Ahem..."

Master Hollyhock coughed twice, with a wry smile on his face: "I'm afraid I can't help you with my current body and bones..."

Gu Shuai glanced at Master Hollyhock: "Master Hollyhock, just stay at home and watch."

Then he looked at Fang Chen again, hesitated and said, "Fellow Daoist Ji, is it convenient for you to travel now?"

"It's not a big problem."

Fang Chen nodded slightly.

"That's good. Although the five of us have lost our cultivation, we are still young and strong. It is not difficult to survive here."

Gu Shuai said.

On the first day, everyone had no harvest. Instead, when they came back, they found that Hollyhock had accidentally fallen and was unable to get up. He was still lying in the middle of the yard until everyone came back.

Ever since the fall, Hollyhock's body and bones have deteriorated rapidly, and he can basically only lie in bed to recuperate.

A few days later, Bu Qingyun and Gu Shuai finally put aside their modesty for food and clothing, but because they were all foreigners, it was almost impossible to do some decent work.

The two of them made a final effort and entered the local escort agency. They just wanted to take this opportunity to see how big this illusion was.

Perhaps the core is not in Ishikawa Prefecture, but outside.

When Fang Chen had nothing to do, he wandered around Ishikawa County. One day, he saw someone opening a local gym to teach people Kung Fu.

Fang Chen wanted to apply for a job as a martial arts master, but as soon as the other party saw that he was blind, he turned him away without even giving him a chance to try his skills.

"Teaching boxing skills, one tael of silver per month..."

Fang Yunmeng held a wooden sign in her hand and said to Fang Chen: "Fellow Taoist Ji Liang, are you sure someone will come to you for a tael of silver?"

"It never hurts to give it a try."

Fang Chen smiled.

Fang Yunmeng nodded lightly, and then inserted the wooden sign at the entrance of the courtyard. In her opinion, it was almost impossible for Fang Chen to receive several apprentices here.

One tael of silver per month, how can ordinary people get it?

This was indeed the case. It took more than a month and no one came to visit him, but instead he aroused ridicule from many neighbors.

On this day, before Bu Qingyun entered the courtyard, he muttered loudly:

"Little sister, go and get some medicine for fellow Taoist Gu Shuai!"

Everyone walked out one after another, only to see that Gu Shuai's face was pale and blood was bleeding from the corner of his mouth. If Bu Qingyun hadn't supported him, he might not even be able to stand still.
