Chapter 12 Visitors

Since coming to Yizhi Peak, Gu Xiaowu has lived a pig-like life, eating, sleeping, sleeping, and eating, and the only exercise is to walk in his own small yard. The enthusiastic Senior Brother Xin came to take a look every once in a while, and ensured that the pharmacology of the daily diet was never cut off.

There are only two houses in Gu Xiaowu's courtyard, Xiao Wu lives in a main room facing north and south, and there is a matching room on the west side, which contains some miscellaneous daily necessities such as clothes and toiletries, which does not look like the amount of a person. His three meals were all delivered by two servants, and the first ten days were some sumptuous meals, with chicken, duck and fish satisfying Xiao Wu's appetite. Gu Xiaowu felt that he was living in a dream, looking at his ruddy face, feeling that his arms were a little thicker, and his strength was much greater than before. Here the master treats himself like this, and he must cultivate himself well. First of all, self-cultivation is to raise one's thin body to be stronger, and then say, as for the cultivation of nature, it is simpler, the senior brother said that as long as there is no suspicion in his heart, resentment and other negative emotions, it is okay, and the most taboo negative emotions are when opening the acupoints. Gu Xiaowu's only regret is that no one talks to him, and he talks to himself or to the servants all day long, but his friend "Mysterious Stone" is gone, and he can no longer find something that can replace it. Every time Senior Brother Xin came back to see him, he just came and walked in a hurry, every time Xiao Wu answered his questions, not him answered Xiao Wu's questions, and the most asked question about Xiao Wu was Xiao Wu's identity experience, Gu Xiao Wu didn't dare to relax and make his experience more real, and then this suspicious senior brother no longer had any questions, and he no longer said anything to Xiao Wu, just told Xiao Wu to listen to the master's arrangement, as for his own master, he never came, I heard that he was in retreat.

In this way, after half a month of Gu Xiaowu did not have to worry about life, the daily food changed later. There is no longer enough as at the beginning, and the content of the food has also changed, chicken, duck and fish have been replaced with soup made of various herbs, and these things are no longer as easy to swallow as before, but when I heard my senior brother say that it was for my own better future, I firmly resisted my stomach and accepted it all. Later, I heard my senior brother explain that some time ago, I used a lot of food to prop up my body and lay a solid foundation, and then I used cherished herbs to transform my body into a more spiritual one, so as to lay the foundation for the later spiritual operation, and I didn't dare to slack off.

A few days after I started to eat herbs, I still had a decoction once a day, and then I completely cut off Xiao Wu's normal diet, and every four hours I sent a bowl of decoction, and Gu Xiaowu felt that he had an incurable disease. Although he only took medicinal soup, he never felt hungry, and Xiao Wu was even more convinced that he was using herbs to transform himself. He found that his spirit was getting better and better, even if he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, he would not feel sleepy the next day, and found a little strange thing, that is, after taking a decoction, his body would be very uncomfortable, and there was a feeling of swelling pain pouring out of his body from the inside out, but it could not last long and disappeared without a trace. Xin has been paying more attention to him recently, and he has to come over to check his condition every meal, and he is very afraid that he will have any adverse reactions after taking the medicine. When he told Xin Qi about his findings and feelings, Xin had a complicated expression of confusion and joy on his face, and then he increased the amount of decoction.

Gu Xiaowu sat on the bed, counting that a month has passed since the comfortable days, his body has changed a lot, although he still looks a little thin, but his spirit and strength have changed a lot, he doesn't feel how much flesh he has grown, but every time he sits on the bed, he feels that the bed is a little bent downward. This month, he didn't step out of the courtyard gate, and he endured the loneliness a little bit, and when he really had no choice, he ran twice in the courtyard and said to the stars in the sky for a while. Although there was no rule that he was not allowed to go out, he still heard a trace of opposition to him going out in the words of the master and brother, but today he wanted to go out for a walk, just to take a look around his yard to see what the environment was like, as a member of this place, it was not good for him to know anything about this place, maybe there were other people living nearby.

He drank a bowl of thick soup sent in the morning, endured the numbness in his mouth and the tumbling in his stomach, and slowly walked out of the courtyard gate when he saw that the two servants who were guarding the door did not react. Xiao Wu looked left and right excitedly, and found that there was another courtyard opposite his small courtyard, and a path led to two arches on both sides, and there were tall brick walls on both sides. He walked along the path towards an arch, but when he was about to pass through the arch, he suddenly broke into a wall and was blocked, which was what they called a prohibition, but fortunately this prohibition was not as murderous and invisible as the mines. He turned and walked towards another arch, and this time without hindrance, he came to a place with three forks. Looking at the three paths leading in different directions, there were five people walking on one of the roads not far away, two of them were his master and senior brother, and the other three were a majestic bearded man, a cold-faced young man and a listless girl in black shirts. Among them, the bearded man and the red-clothed ancestor walked in front, Xin and the young man followed behind, and the girl just lowered her head and followed at the end with her shoulders drooping, and the two big braids kept shaking on both sides as she walked.

The person on the other side also saw Gu Xiaowu who was hesitating, and the bearded man turned his head to the old man and asked, "Who is this young man?"

The red-robed old man frowned and said with a smile, "This is a registered disciple I recently accepted, and I haven't started cultivating yet. ”

"Oh, seeing that this son is spiritually extraordinary, Brother Zhu has found another good material."

"This son is just mellow, and his qualifications are average, and he can't compare with a few disciples of Brother Dao. This is the Duan Valley Master of Mingya Valley, why don't you hurry up and come and see me. The red-robed old man said sternly to Xiao Wu, who was standing aside with his head bowed.

"The disciple meets the master and the senior." Xiao Wu was clever and hurriedly bowed down to greet them, wasn't Mingya Valley the place where he was escorted? I hope he won't be recognized, and Xiao Wu will never raise his head again after seeing the salute.

Seeing Gu Xiaowu who was so timid and afraid of things, the red-robed old man said with a slightly heavy face and ordered Xiao Wu to go back to his yard and then took the others to walk away along the other way, and the others no longer looked at Xiao Wu and followed, only the girl who followed at the end raised her head and quietly looked at the young man who appeared standing aside and bowing her head and not moving.

Gu Xiaowu waited until everyone was far away before raising his head, wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked at the direction they walked away and thought for a while, and then thought about the way he came. Back in his room, he lay down on the bed and looked at the roof with his eyes open. Don't know what the people of Mingya Valley are doing here? Will it have something to do with yourself? This time, he finally guessed correctly, the arrival of Mingya Valley really had something to do with him.

At this time, in a living room, the Lord of Mingya Valley was sitting on a chair and saying something to the old man, while Xin Qi and the cold-faced young man were standing on the side, and the girl was not in the hall. When the old man finally understood the intention of the comer, he thought deeply slightly, and the bearded man was not in a hurry, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip slightly.

After pondering for a moment, the old man spoke: "It's okay to go with Daoyou, I also want to see what is so cautious even with Daoyou's magical powers." I don't know why Daoist friends are invited this time? ”

Dahan was very happy to hear that the old man did not refuse, but his brows tightened and said: "Daoyou is wrong, I not only invited Daoyou, but even Huangmeiling's money, He two Daoyou, and Li Daoyou of the Gravel Cliff have all invited, the Yin power of the leylines in this underground passage is too strong, only I can wait for the existence of the cave building period to not be afraid of the Yin power, and work together to break through the last obstacle and enter the secret cave." I've tried some methods before, but unfortunately I can't break through the last stone wall compartment alone, so I invited you to break the seal of the secret cave and enter it. ”

"There are so many fellow Daoists who need to go together, is there any treasure hidden in this secret cave?" When the old man heard that there were so many people, his heart moved.

"Don't hide it from fellow Daoists, I don't know the origin of this cave, in fact, one of my disciples found it first, but unfortunately he seemed to touch something on the way in, the passage was destroyed, and he was even stuck in the passage. But the area around this cave is all made of purple graphite, and there may be some treasures in it, and now the last purple graphite wall is almost in front of it. What about the conditions I prescribed, plus if there is a treasure in the cave? The bearded man added another 10% of the chips.

"Yicheng, well, okay, I'll help Daoyou." , Although if there is really any heavy treasure found in it, it is a little less, but the old man thought of the large amount of spiritual grass ore and the girl proposed by the big man as a reward, and he was not the only one who went, so he readily agreed, and if he really found any treasures, would he still comply with the previous conditions? .
