Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Family Talks
After two months of boring travel, Gu Xiaowu and the two finally arrived at the Qingjun county town of Nanfu before. In the past two months, in addition to staying at the inn, they have been hiding in the carriage to cultivate, and although they have been interrogated many times along the way, they have spent it safely, and there have been no immortal cultivators to intercept them. Along the way, he was stopped by refugees fleeing and deserted several times, but they were easily resolved by Kou Yuhuan.
In fact, they were too careful, although Yizhifeng was abandoned, but the outside world thought that the red-clothed ancestor gave up in order to avoid the enemy, and they didn't expect that the red-clothed ancestor had been turned into ashes by Kou Yuhuan's fireball, and Duan Hai and Li Kai didn't get any useful information from the servants they caught, and they didn't even find out about the children's villages.
A spiritual power slowly wrapped his entire right arm upwards from Gu Xiaowu's five fingertips, and it was constantly rotating, constantly attracting the faint aura outside Xiao Wu's right arm, and after a full hour, it slowly retracted into the spirit hole, and then slowly transferred to the left arm, so it took another hour for Xiao Wu to stop practicing, and used his divine thoughts to sense the left and right arms, and found that the pores on it had changed a lot compared to the previous two days of practice, and it was close to being opened, and now the air mass floating in his spirit cave was also a lot bigger。
I didn't expect that Rong Yuanjue's cultivation of the first layer was much easier than that of Diyin Gong, according to the cultivation of this method, after two months of hard cultivation, his cultivation has made great strides, and it is estimated that at this speed, as long as he is given two more months, he can reach the second layer, in addition to the fact that Rong Yuanjue is easy to cultivate, the biggest reason is that Xiao Wu has a few more bottles of cherished pills in his hand, and he can open up the whole body by taking the pill to refine it into pure aura. These pills were naturally Kou Yuhuan, who gave half of the pills obtained from the red-clothed ancestor to himself. Kou Yuhuan not only divided half of the elixir to himself, but also divided all the ores, elixirs, etc. into two and gave him a share, and finally gave himself a cyan wooden sword. After getting so many "stolen goods", Xiao Wu remembered his original "friend" - the mysterious stone ball. He was embarrassed to express to Kou Yuhuan that he wanted the stone ball back, and took out a box of jewelry and gave it to Kou Yuhuan. Although the girl was also interested in the stone ball, but as soon as she heard that it was Gu Xiaowu's own, she simply gave it to him, and asked what it was, but unfortunately Xiao Wu himself didn't know, so he had to give it away, as for the original small mirror and stone plate, Xiao Wu thought that it was not his own, so he didn't want to come back, he didn't know that he gave a big opportunity to Kou Yuhuan.
On this day, it looked like they were about to arrive at the county town, Xiao Wu and Kou Yuhuan both stopped cultivating, after all, there would always be one or two immortal cultivators sitting near the county town, although they were only in the qi induction period, but if they were not careful, they would still be easy to expose their traces and cause trouble. The two people in the carriage silently took out a bamboo ginseng and looked at it, since a conversation two months ago, the two of them rarely talked, every time they talked to Kou Yuhuan with a cold attitude, the usual communication between the two was just some cultivation problems, most of them were Xiao Wu with a cheeky face to Kou Yuhuan to raise some doubts about cultivation, and Kou Yuhuan was selective to answer some, Xiao Wu has nothing to complain about, after all, he is no longer his own master, and it is already very rare to explain some cultivation experience, if you want to blame, you can only blame your own decision。
The inventory of the county town of Qing County is much stricter than that of other county towns, not only is there a team of soldiers checking identity documents at the gate of the city, but also a team of armor soldiers patrolling the city. After the devastation of the war, most of the buildings in the city have traces of destruction, although the war has ended, there are still few pedestrians on the streets, and only a few shops are still open. Xiao Wu and they passed through most of the city before they found an inn that was open, entered the inn and booked two rooms, while Ah San took the carriage to the backyard to rest. Xiao Wu nodded slightly at Ah San, who had left, this bought servant is honest, and he is also very measured, he usually stays in the carriage overnight, never peeps at the master's whereabouts, but it's a pity that he can't speak, but the reason for buying him is also because he can't speak, because this can make him relax a little.
Entering the room, Xiao Wu sat at the head of the bed and began to ponder for a while, arriving here has already completed the original plan of him and Kou Yuhuan, his hometown is under the jurisdiction of Qing County, and he is ready to return to the village to have a look. Although since his parents passed away one after another, his brothers and sisters-in-law have been very mean to him, but they are always relatives, and he very much hopes to see them safe and sound, and he is more eager to be cared for and missed by his relatives. After recalling his childhood for a while, Kou Yuhuan's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and he immediately retracted his thoughts, walked out of the door and knocked lightly in front of Kou Yuhuan's door twice.
"Come in"
"What's the matter with you looking for me so late?"
"What's the hurry, sit. Kou Yu ruffled his loose hair, and a yellow light shrouded the entire room.
The hut was stunned, this kind of light mask, Xiao Wu had already seen Kou Yuhuan cast it several times on the road, it was a small spell with the ability to isolate others from eavesdropping on conversations, so I didn't know what important things to say this time.
"At this point, the agreement between the two of us is over, and we will go our separate ways in the future. If you don't have a place to go or encounter any difficulties, you can go to the floating carp lake, a hundred miles southeast of Licheng, and join the Liu family there, the head of the Liu family is my maternal grandfather, and I have been cultivating there. You and I are considered to have been masters and apprentices, and people outside are unpredictable, so it's better for you to find a secluded place to retreat and practice for four or five years before coming out. A lot of immortal cultivators have already told you, here are some of the local information I know, you can do it yourself. I still have to rest, you can go back. The girl handed Xiao Wu a bamboo slip and sent it off directly, but turned around and didn't look at him anymore.
Gu Xiaowu held the bamboo slip in his hand and wanted to say something more, but when he saw the girl staring at him coldly, he had to shut up and turn around and leave. When she got to the house, Xiao Wu read the bamboo slip that Kou Yuhuan gave her, since she started to cultivate, she can slowly achieve ten lines at a glance, and the content in the bamboo slip is not much, and after a while, Xiao Wu has learned about the location and relationship between some of the immortal cultivation forces of the two countries, among which Nanfu is the most detailed. As Kou Yuhuan suggested, it was best for him to find a secret place to cultivate to the Solid Foundation or Qi Peak first, because it was too dangerous for him to wander outside by himself now. Since the birth of immortal cultivators, the first thing that has been formed is the family of immortal cultivators, in which the core members are blood relatives of their own families, and the peripheral members are well-qualified cultivators who are attached to the family, and they can get some of the fur of the family exercises. Gradually, as the Great Wisdom created more cultivation techniques, the number of cultivators and families also increased a lot. In order to compete for the pitiful cultivation resources, there were fierce conflicts between the immortal cultivation families and cultivators, and slowly formed the current appearance, the entire country is composed of more than a dozen families, and they will also keep looking for disciples with immortal fate to guide them to open their acupoints, give them exercises, and provide cultivation resources to expand their strength. There are also strong and weak families, and there are generally one or two cave building masters in strong families, while small and medium-sized families are only composed of solid foundations and qi induction, and they all have to rely on those powerful families. There are also two or three individual high-level cultivators like the red-clothed ancestor, but each of them has only appeared after cultivating to build a cave, and they are all preparing to establish their own family power, among which the Mingya Valley Duan family is a new family that has just appeared, but there are only a few family disciples with good qualifications. And a low-level cultivator like Xiao Wu who has a cultivation method in his hand can easily become the target of attack by some family forces, because no one will think that he has too many exercises in his hand. Low-level casual cultivators are not only difficult to obtain cultivation resources, but also attacked by local forces, which themselves are very rare, and most of them are the remnants of declining families, which can easily provoke the concern of big families.
The Liu family to which Kou Yuhuan is attached is to have two very famous immortal cultivation clans in the cave building period, one of them has a town after building the cave, and there are as many as seven or eight people in the late stage of the solid foundation, most of them only cultivate in their own cave mansions, and the disciples in the qi induction period are responsible for collecting resources everywhere and providing them to the family. The other families are in a similar situation, with Xiao Wu's current cultivation to join it, they can only be driven as ordinary disciples on the periphery, and only after their own cultivation reaches the solid foundation period can they enjoy certain treatment. I don't know that Kou Yuhuan has also entered the solid foundation period, why was he caught by Mingya Valley? Although the relationship between the two countries is bad, and the immortal cultivation families of the two countries also have contradictions, according to Kou Yuhuan, the war between the two countries is the result of the competition between the two immortal cultivation forces on both sides. Kou Yuhuan was also plundered to the north after the war, it seems that it is not a simple matter, Xiao Wu can't help but guess.
