Fang Wuwei's death made Gu Cheng and others feel a little emotional. They are all practitioners, so naturally they all feel sad when a rabbit dies and a fox dies.
For practitioners, there are times when death is not terrible. What is terrible is that life is worse than death, such as having your cultivation level abolished.
For practitioners, power is an existence far beyond all else. Mastering power is equivalent to controlling life and death, and controlling everything.
Even if someone wants to withdraw from the world of martial arts, they will be withdrawing from the world of martial arts, not the world of spiritual practice.
Like Fang Wuwei, although he could only be regarded as a low-level tomb robber before, he is still somewhat famous in this industry, and his life should be quite nourishing.
As a result, now that his cultivation level is gone, everything is gone, and even if he survives, he will only be a cripple. It is estimated that few people can bear such a huge gap.
Gu Cheng shook his head slightly and said, "Go and find a place to bury him. Just bury him in Taikang County. The remaining people will search Wantong Auction House and take away everything they can."
I didn't find anything when I searched Luo Jiao before, but this time I didn't get much from searching the Wantong Auction House. I just found a few things that weren't involved in the auction.
Eighty percent of Wantong Auction House's shares belong to Yizhi Zhengqi Alliance, so after the monthly auction, Jin Wuye will make statistics and send the things to Yizhi Zhengqi Alliance.
It was a bit of a coincidence that Gu Cheng came here. The last batch of items from the auction had already been given away, but this time the auction had not officially started yet.
Of course, Jin Wuye must have some wealth, but these things are not in Wantong Auction House. They should have been hidden in a hidden place by himself, and naturally they cannot be found now.
After killing Jin Wuye, everyone talked about Fengxian Village for a long time. At this time, Jin Wuye's body had already been completely cold. Even if Taoist Mengshan wanted to use secret methods to extract his soul fragments, he could not do it.
.
After packing their things, everyone was just about to leave when they saw a group of people pouring into Wantong Auction House.
The leader, a middle-aged practitioner wearing a green shirt, shouted sharply: "Where is the Golden Five?"
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, probably knowing who the other party was.
Who else could appear at such a time besides those from the Yizi Zhengqi Alliance?
Although the Yizi Zhengqi Alliance does not want to have anything to do with a black market boss like Jin Wuye, the other party will definitely be worried about what Jin Wuye is doing secretly, so someone must supervise him, and the distance cannot be too close or too close.
Far away, it should be within Shunzhou Prefecture.
At this time, so much time had passed, and some people outside the Wantong Auction House had slipped through the net, or people from the Yizi Zhengqi Alliance who were monitoring the surroundings had passed on the news to them.
"It's inside, do you want to collect his body?"
The middle-aged man said angrily: "Gu Cheng, do you know who Jin Wu belongs to?"
Of course he knew Gu Cheng's identity, but the Yizi Zhengqi Alliance was deeply rooted in Taikang County, and its reputation and status were very extraordinary. Not to mention Gu Cheng, who was not the town governor, even Shen Wanan, the town governor of Taikang County, had to fight against him.
The leader of the Righteous Alliance treated him politely.
Gu Cheng said calmly: "So what if I know? I want to give you face, but when that guy Jin Wu leaked my whereabouts, did you give me face?"
I've already killed Jin Wu, what else do you want? Although I don't know your identity, you should have a high status in the Yizi Zhengqi Alliance.
Think about whether you want to stop me today. If you want to fight, I will fight with you. But after returning to Nanyi County, don't blame me for throwing dirty water on your righteous alliance!
That guy Jin Wu doesn't trust you, so he secretly left a lot of evidence of his transactions with you.
You guys think that if I publish all these things to the world, what will happen to the reputation of your Yizi Zhengqi Alliance?
A group of upright guys are running a black market auction house to earn the pitiful money of the lower-level Jianghu people. Tsk, that sounds like it would be very interesting."
The middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed, but Gu Cheng's words hit his weakness.
What a sect like Yizi Zhengqi League cares about most is reputation. Their ability to inherit and grow to this day depends on reputation. If Gu Cheng pours this bucket of dirty water, it can be said that it will be worse than losing ten Wantong auctions.
Everything makes them uncomfortable.
In fact, Gu Cheng was deceiving a member of the Righteous Alliance by saying this. Jin Wuye had already had his neck broken by him, and he had no intention of interrogating these messy things.
And even if Jin Wuye really secretly left evidence of his transaction with the Yizi Zhengqi Alliance, he would not just stay in the Wantong Auction House openly. He should have found a safe place to hide himself.
But people in the Righteous Alliance don't dare to bet on this.
They also know what Jin Wuye is like. Although he uses each other, he is always on guard against him. What Gu Cheng said is absolutely possible with Jin Wuye's character.
The middle-aged man reluctantly gave up a way and hummed: "Gu Cheng, I will settle this matter with you sooner or later!"
Gu Cheng chuckled lightly and didn't care.
These big sects, or guys with a certain background, always like to say this kind of thing.
In fact, a biting dog does not bark. An enemy who really wants to fight you to death will not say such words to remind you that he is causing trouble for you. Instead, he will hide in the dark and seize a fatal opportunity to stab you.
.
With a wave of his hand and people swaggering away from Wantong Auction House, Gu Cheng said to Taoist Mengshan: "You can take people back to Nanyi County first and count the harvest. I'm going to go to Fengxian Village to take a look."
Taoist Mengshan hesitated and said: "Sir, you'd better be more cautious about this matter. I have also heard about Fengxian Village. It is not an easy place. Such legendary existences are usually extremely dangerous.
, that place is probably a forbidden ghost domain."
Gu Cheng nodded and said: "I know, but that place is not a real place of death. If I am not certain, I will not take such a risk."
Although treasures are tempting, life is more precious. Gu Cheng is not someone who dares to risk his life just for the immediate benefit.
He chose to enter Fengxian Village because according to his estimation, he had a certain degree of confidence in walking out with the treasure, so he made this choice.
Fengxian Village is not a real place of death. Fang Wuwei, who was far less powerful than him, entered it and came out, although it was just luck.
There is also the Holy Son of the Luo Sect who is also exploring Fengxian Village to enter it.
To be realistic, the status of the Holy Son of Luo Jiao is much higher than that of Gu Cheng. Since he has decided to enter it, there must be hope for him.
Looking further afield, with so many legends of Fengxian Village passed down, there must have been people who have walked out of it in the past five hundred years, but that place is definitely dangerous, so not many people should be willing to go there.
Second-rate.
Seeing what Gu Cheng said, Taoist Mengshan didn't say anything more.
Gu Cheng didn't do anything he was unsure of, and they were all used to it.
In other words, they couldn't persuade Gu Cheng to do what he was planning to do.
After the separation, Gu Cheng followed the map given to him by Fang Wuwei and came to the area on the border of Taikang County.
Except for Ning'an Prefecture, which is relatively prosperous in the entire Taikang County, other areas, like most of the state capitals in Nanjiu County, appear decadent and desolate.
The area where Fengxian Village is located is at the junction of three counties. There is no state capital at all. It is a large wasteland. Only the ruins of some villages can be seen occasionally, but they are completely deserted and do not look like Fengxian Village.
.
This area was very small when Fang Wuwei drew it on the map, but when Gu Cheng actually walked there, he realized that it was so huge that he probably couldn't even cover it in one day.
Gu Cheng started walking for several hours in the early morning, but found no clues. Could it be that he had to find it at night?
This Fengxian Village is interesting. Those who want to enter can't find the way, and those who don't want to enter can't tell when they will be sucked into it.
Gu Cheng took a look at the sky. The sun was setting in the west, illuminating the surroundings with a dim light. Gu Cheng didn't want to continue searching like a headless fly, and planned to wait until nightfall to patrol around again.
At this time, there was a small courtyard on the edge of the path just ahead, and smoke was still rising against the setting sun.
This place is not a village. This area is full of barren mountains, gravel and saline-alkali wasteland. The climate is hot and arid, which is not suitable for large-scale farming and cannot form a village. Therefore, only a few families build a small courtyard here to raise one or two animals.
He lives with only cattle and sheep, and sells them regularly at the market in the state capital.
Gu Cheng was about to go in and ask for a drink of water. When he opened the courtyard door, he saw a man chopping wood to light a fire. A woman in her thirties was holding a child beside him.
Gu Cheng cupped his hands and said: "This eldest brother and sister-in-law are passing by here and are going to ask for a drink of water. Is it inconvenient?"
The man who was lighting the fire raised his head, revealing an extremely old face that had been polished by time, and said with a simple smile: "What's the inconvenience of this? Master, it's fine if you don't mind our dirty bowl."
Gu Cheng smiled, took out a small piece of broken silver and handed it to the man, saying, "If anything, please bother me."
With Gu Cheng's current status, a small piece of silver can't even be called money. He has a lot of large banknotes on him, not to mention the extremely precious Yin Soul Spirit Crystal.
But the common man is innocent of the crime of possessing a jade. If such a poor family gets a banknote, even if it is only ten taels of silver in the smallest denomination, it will be a fatal disaster.
Gu Cheng gave them too much money instead of helping them, but harming them.
The man hurriedly said: "You can't do it, you can't do it. Master, take it back quickly. This water I have is not the nectar of a poplar branch. It's not worth so much money."
The dishes at home are dirty, I will wash the dishes for you, Master, and then fill them with water."
As he spoke, the man hurriedly walked into the house to pour water.
Gu Cheng quietly placed the money beside the pot and asked the woman, "Sister-in-law, how old is this child?"
The woman hugged the child tightly, with a loving and contented smile on her face: "I was just one month old, and all the doctors in the county said that my health is not good, and I'm afraid I won't be able to give birth to a child in this life.
But thanks to the true God’s protection, I was able to give birth to a son at my age, and my husband’s family was not left without offspring.”
At this time, the smile on Gu Cheng's face gradually disappeared.
Because of the woman's actions just now, the quilt covering the child's face slipped a little, revealing the baby's face.
It was yellow and shriveled, the skin and flesh were tightly attached to the bones, and only black holes were left where the two eyes were. This was no baby, it was clearly a mummy!
