When Gu Yan and Su Xiang'er walked into the North Underworld City, the night had already fallen, and the sky was full of stars, but the North Underworld City was a city that was brightly lit and never sleeped. （.）

And Gu Yan and Su Xiang'er were still some distance away from the center of the North Underworld City, and they were still a little dim at this time, but they were undoubtedly much better than the pitch black outside the city.

Gu Yan looked up at the deep night sky, the night sky of the Ancient Continent was as beautiful as the night sky on the earth, dotted with stars, the only difference was that the starry sky of the Ancient Continent had no moon.

Su Xiang'er, who was holding Gu Yan's hand, looked at Gu Yan who was staring at the starry sky, and also looked up at the night sky, and asked lightly, "Brother Zi, is there anything above this night sky?"

Gu Yan shook his head, his eyes were still looking up at the deep starry sky, and said softly, "Xiang'er, don't you think the starry sky at night is very beautiful, especially when a meteor crosses the starry sky at the same time, that moment is almost extremely beautiful;!"

When Gu Yan was an orphan in his previous life, he had no residence, wandered the streets, and wandered around, and his favorite thing to do at that time was to look up at the starry sky alone, and the starry sky at that time could always arouse an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

Xiang'er looked up again, but she didn't find the kind of beauty that Gu Yan said, but at this moment, Gu Yan's hand suddenly held her, and at the same time, Gu Yan gave her a look, and pulled her to walk forward quickly.

Su Xiang'er didn't react at all, and the whole person followed Gu Yan's steps and walked forward, and suddenly in a place where the lights were covered, Gu Yan's figure flashed, and Su Xiang'er was also pulled into the dark.

"Brother Zi, you?" Su Xiang'er was just about to open her mouth to ask Gu Yan what was going on, but Gu Yan made a gesture to her not to speak.

Su Xiang'er nodded, and then there was a sound of footsteps in her ears, from which it was easy to hear that it was a person, and it was a man, at this time Su Xiang'er understood what was happening, it turned out that someone was following them.

"Why did you disappear? ”

But at this moment, Gu Yan's figure flashed, appeared behind the man, grabbed his neck with one hand, and with the help of the faint light, Gu Yan found that it was a teenager who was following him, at most thirteen years old.

"Who are you, why are you following us!" Gu Yan asked lightly, and at the same time, the hand that was holding his neck loosened a little.

"This son spares his life, my name is Liu Cheng, and I am a native of the North Underworld, and I was not following the son just now. The teenager said scaredly.

Saying that, Gu Yan put down his hand that was holding his neck, because he found that this young man didn't have the slightest cultivation, and whoever wanted to send someone to follow him would definitely not find someone who didn't have the slightest cultivation.

Seeing that Gu Yan let go of himself, Na Liu Cheng continued, "Childe, my name is Liu Cheng, and I am a native of the Northern Underworld, but I was born unable to cultivate, my parents died, and I only have one sister to rely on each other. ”

"I'm at the gate of this North City every day, leading the way for those who have just arrived in the North Underworld, earning some barren stones, I really didn't mean to follow Childe, but seeing that Childe and this young lady should be the first time to North Underworld, I thought about whether you need a reads to lead the way;. ”

Listening to Liu Cheng's words, Gu Yan nodded, and then spoke, "Liu Cheng, then you mean that you are very familiar with the Northern Underworld City, we just lack a guide, I don't know if you are willing to do it." ”

Liu Cheng heard that Gu Yan really needed a guide, his face showed joy, and he nodded, "Don't worry, the kid has lived in this North Underworld City for more than ten years, and he is very familiar with the North Underworld City." Ordinary people need 20 high-grade barren stones a day to lead the way, but I only accept 10. ”

Gu Yan saw that Liu Cheng was also a poor person, almost like himself back then, and he felt pity in his heart.

After speaking, Gu Yan threw him a small cloth bag, "Liucheng, there are a hundred high-grade barren stones in this cloth bag, which is considered the cost of hiring you, now you take us to an inn first, we have been on the road for a day, and we need to have a good rest." ”

Hearing this, a hint of hesitation suddenly flashed in Liu Cheng's eyes, and he said softly, "Childe, this place is still dozens of miles away from the center of the North Underworld, and there are no good inns in this area, and the kid still has an injured sister to take care of at home." ”

"Childe, look at this, tonight you will sweep the couch and stay in my house for a night, my parents left us a big mansion in Beicheng before they died, and it has always been only me and my sister to live, and after tonight, I will take Childe to the center of the North Underworld City early tomorrow morning to go to the high-end inn. ”

Liu Cheng's eyes were full of expectation, and from the Gu Yan in his eyes, he could see that he should need this barren stone very much.

Gu Yan looked at Su Xiang'er, Su Xiang'er nodded, and said softly, "Brother Zi, let's stay at Liucheng's house tonight!"

Seeing that Su Xiang'er agreed, Gu Yan naturally wouldn't say anything more, Liu Cheng was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and enthusiastically took Gu Yan in the direction where the Liu family was.

The three of them walked for about a quarter of an hour to a quieter residential area, and Liu Cheng walked towards the end of a street with Gu Yan.

"Childe, Miss, this is my house, there is only my sister in the family, come in!" Liu Cheng said with a smile.

Gu Yan took a look and found that although there were many people in this place, it should be an extremely poor and inferior place in the Northern Underworld, and the cultivation of the people he met on the street was generally very low.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Liu Cheng shouted to a room in the courtyard with a glimmer of light, "Sister, there is a guest at home." ”

"Childe, my sister is injured and her body is very weak, she has always been very enthusiastic, I can't come out to greet you today, don't be surprised. Liu Cheng said softly.

On the way here, Liucheng told Gu Yan a lot of things about their family, Liucheng's parents are loose cultivators, and their cultivation is in the condensation period, although it is not high, but they are good at making some low-level charms, and they also have a certain harvest every month, and the life of the family is also satisfied.

However, two years ago, my parents went out to look for talisman materials, and unfortunately encountered a king-level desolate beast, and the two died under the mouth of the beast, leaving behind their sister Liu Yan, who depended on each other.

At that time, Liu Yan was only seventeen years old, and his cultivation was only at the peak of the martial arts realm, but he inherited his parents' talent for making talismans, and he could make some low-level attack charms, although his income was low, he was able to support his sister and brother.

Half a month ago, Liu Yan went out to look for talisman materials, and was also injured by the wild beast, the only thing to be thankful for is that although he was not lightly injured, he saved his life.

Liu Yan's sister and brother had a meager monthly income, and there was simply not enough Huangshi to buy healing pills for Liu Yan to treat his injuries, and the two sisters and brothers also lost their only source of income.

And Liu Cheng himself, for some reason, was born unable to cultivate, without the slightest cultivation, and it was conceivably difficult for Liu Cheng to earn barren stones.

In the past half a month, he worked as a guide in the North Underworld City, and he only earned less than fifty high-grade barren stones in total, which was not enough to buy a spirit-level high-grade healing pill, and when he met Gu Yan today, he gave a hundred high-grade barren stones at one time, Liu Cheng was indeed very happy, with this barren stone, he could buy a healing pill.

Gu Yan and Su Xiang'er walked into the brightly lit room, where a pale, thin young woman was lying on a wooden bed.

"Sister, this son and young lady have just arrived in the North Underworld, so they will rest at our house for one night tonight, and tomorrow I will take them to the center of the city to find an inn. Liu Cheng said lightly to Liu Yan.

Liu Yan nodded, and said weakly, "Liu Cheng, go boil some hot water and put it in the room of the two guests, and at the same time clean up the big room." Liu Cheng nodded and left the room.

"Childe, Miss, please take a seat, please forgive the little girl for not being able to entertain in person, and please do reads;. Liu Yan greeted weakly.

Su Xiang'er smiled slightly, walked up to Liu Yan, and said softly, "Sister Liu doesn't have to be polite, it's me and my brother who are bothering me tonight, and I'm not a young lady, Sister Liu just needs to call me Xiang'er." ”

Seeing that Su Xiang'er was so approachable and had no shelves, Liu Yan was a little uncomfortable.

Su Xiang'er looked at Liu Yan's pale face without a trace of blood, full of sympathy, and looked at Gu Yan, "Brother Zi, aren't you an alchemist, you can help Sister Liu!"

Listening to Su Xiang'er's words, Liu Yan's eyes showed a hint of hope, looked at Gu Yan, and said lightly, "Childe, are you really an alchemist?"

Gu Yan smiled slightly and nodded, "Miss Liu doesn't have to be nervous, I just have occasional alchemy, if Miss Liu doesn't mind, I can help you check the injury, maybe I can help a little." ”

Listening to Gu Yan's words, Su Xiang'er pursed her lips and muttered, "They are all spirit level high-level alchemists, and Big Brother Zi is still so modest!"

Liu Yan on the side shed tears excitedly, and said, "Zi Gongzi, the little woman's injury is nothing, the little woman has only one request, I hope Zi Gongzi can check my brother Liu Cheng's body." ”

"Sister Liu, you are so weak, and you still say it's okay. Su Xiang'er said.

Gu Yan was slightly stunned, looked at Liu Yan, and said lightly, "Are you asking me to check why Liu Cheng's body can't cultivate?"

Liu Yan nodded and said, "Zi Gongzi, not only is my younger brother unable to cultivate, but every year on the day of the Yin Hour, I don't know why, his body is in great pain, and he faints every time, and it is getting worse every year, I am worried that one day he will "Tears burst out of his eyes when he said Liu Yan.

"I can't cultivate, and I am in great pain every year on a cloudy day, could it be" Gu Yan was suddenly stunned, and seemed to have some guesses in his heart about Liu Cheng's physical problems.

But he didn't say it directly, but looked at Liu Yan and said softly, "Miss Liu, don't worry, it's just a check, you can do it at any time." On the contrary, it is you, I see that your qi and blood are empty, your eyes are falling, and there is a wisp of black silk in your eyes, the injury is not light, and you have been poisoned. ”

"If you don't treat it in time, not only will you not be able to save your cultivation at that time, but your life will also be in danger at any time. ”
