133. Dark tide surges
In the jade bottle space, Gu Liang looked through the booklet that specifically recorded the cultivation and harvest of the spiritual grass in the space, took a small half of the spiritual grass in the storage room and put it in a mustard seed bag, and walked into the alchemy room.
The indispensable elixir for the monks of the Northern Plains is the Fire Vein Pill, and the effect of the Fire Vein Pill is different depending on the spirit grass used. The Fire Vein Pill is easy to refine, and alchemy apprentices can open the furnace, but it is not easy to improve the quality of the pill and the rate of pill production.
Therefore, the Huomai Pill, which has a good effect on resisting cold, a long duration, and a low erysipelas content, is very popular in Beiyuan, and the price is also popular all the way.
Gu Liang picked out several mid-level fire attribute spirit grasses and threw them into the two alchemy furnaces respectively, and as soon as he pinched the fire control technique, the flames in the earth fire well jumped up suddenly, quietly licking the bottom of the alchemy furnace.
Generally, alchemists can only refine one furnace of Dan at a time, and a few alchemists who can use two hearts and minds and have a strong sense of God can open two furnaces of Dan at a time. However, if you are not careful, the two furnaces will have to be abolished.
In this way, alchemy is very exercised, Gu Liang is as busy as a spinning top, it took half an hour, and the two furnaces of pills were completed one after the other. Put away the Fire Vein Pill according to the quality, Gu Liang poured out the slag and opened the furnace again.
"After all, single-mindedness and dual-use are not as high as the single-minded Chengdan rate, and the quality is a little unable to keep up, but it can be slowly exercised. If you do more, you will naturally become proficient. ”
After consuming most of his divine sense, Gu Liang poured medicinal liquid into the two alchemy furnaces to warm up, and pondered: "If I can also use two hearts and two purposes in battle, then my combat power will definitely be able to improve a lot... But it still takes exercise, and it's not going to be easy. ”
After refining the pill, Gu Liang walked into the clean room to meditate and restore his senses. When his consciousness is restored, he will come out for alchemy.
Busy for half a month. Gu Liang looked at the pill bottles piled up on the table, and a sense of accomplishment came spontaneously. This half a month. She only refined the Fire Vein Pill, and she also opened two furnaces at the same time with two hearts. Compared with half a month ago, her current subtle control of her divine consciousness has improved significantly, and her divine sense has also increased a little.
The messenger still couldn't find Gu Xian, and he didn't know where he was trapped.
If he wasn't familiar with the plot, Gu Xian wouldn't hang up even if he had something, and Gu Liang would definitely be an ant on a hot pot now.
She put away all the bottles and cans on the table, came out of the yard, and went to the counter to pay the rent for half a month. before leaving the inn.
After not going out for half a month, Gu Liang keenly noticed that there were a lot more monks on the street, and the aura on people's bodies had become a little dangerous and not very friendly.
After coming to the deserted city, she only knew some things in the city superficially, and the atmosphere in the deserted city at that time was not as oppressive as it is now.
There were only two streets from the inn to the pill shop in the city, and in the short distance, Gu Liang saw two or three fights.
The people of the deserted city are fierce, and there are many monks who fight when they don't agree with each other. However, in general, at most, they are only seriously injured, and rarely kill people.
Before walking into the pill shop, Gu Liang vaguely glanced at the corpse of the monk who had been dragged away by the city's law enforcement team. I guessed in my heart that something big was going to happen in the deserted city.
She had no intention of getting involved in these power disputes, she just wanted to rush to Nanling immediately after this incident, in case she was accidentally dragged here. The matter of verification has to be postponed again.
After dealing with the pills in your hand, you must inquire about the news.
There are many monks in and out of the pill shop. The flow of people is weaving. The service attitude of the Danyao apprentices in the store is generally not very good, and they ignore the guests. Because it is the largest and most complete pill shop in the deserted city. The monks whispered in their hearts, but they only talked about it, and they didn't really care.
Gu Liang said that he was selling pills, and the attitude of the pill apprentice was better, he took Gu Liang to the private room at the back of the store, but before he could push the door, the door was knocked open from the inside, and a monk in Tsing Yi rolled out.
Gu Liang had already given a warning, and avoided two steps to the side so that he didn't hit him.
The monk was kicked out, with shoe prints on his clothes, and before he could get up, several pill bottles were smashed out of the private room, and the force was not light, and the monk was so broken that his forehead was bleeding.
"Get out! We don't accept inferior Dan in our store! When Lao Tzu monkey plays! The people in the private room shouted, "Come! Hit it out! ”
Monk Jindan's angry shouts were like thunder, although they were not deliberately targeted, they still shook Gu Liang's ears a little roaring. The monk in Tsing Yi was bleeding even more from his ears, and he sat on the ground covering his head, embarrassed.
The pill apprentice was very embarrassed, he stepped forward and pushed the door wider, coughed lightly and said to Gu Liang, "Sir, please come in." ”
I'd like to go in.
Gu Liangxin said, she looked at the monk in Tsing Yi in front of her, and it was not to retreat, nor was it to step over.
He just blocked her way, and the whole person sat sideways, hurriedly picking up the pills scattered on the ground, and he didn't know the blood dripping from his ears and forehead. The pill he refined was the simplest Qi Nourishing Pill, and it was sprinkled all over the ground, and the ash and aura were thin, and there were many waste pills containing erysipelas.
His appearance is not bad, he can even be said to be handsome, but the expression on his face is a little stupid, and his cultivation is only eight layers of qi refining, and his bone age is thirty or forty years old.
Gu Liang's gaze inadvertently swept behind his ear, paused for two seconds, and then moved away without a trace, under the sleeve robe, her palm quietly clenched, and slowly released.
Two servants from the shop had already arrived, and they didn't wait for the monk to finish picking up the pills, so they took him away with a scolding on the other.
The scolding is nothing more than a fool, a fool, and a person who complains about the guy in the store, and he didn't have long eyes to let him in.
The monk didn't say anything, just struggled, staring at the pills scattered all over the ground, very reluctant to leave. However, his struggle was useless in front of the two foundation-building servants, like a child against an adult, he could easily be suppressed.
The deacon's face who came later was not very good, he glared at the elixir apprentice fiercely, then bent down and apologized to Gu Liang, his tone was very sincere: "It happened suddenly, please don't worry about it." If you disturb the Taoist, we are very sorry for this and are willing to let the profit come into being. Fellow Daoists, you see, okay? ”
"Out of the way." Gu Liang waved her hand, she avoided the pill on the ground and walked into the private room.
before closing the door. You can also hear the deacon reprimanding the elixir apprentice: "Why aren't you smart?" That is an alchemist, in case it disturbs people..."
Gu Liang refined a lot of Fire Vein Pills. The quality is mostly excellent, and when she came out, the deacon personally sent her out. The attitude of the deacon is excellent. Both in and out of the words, they all had the intention of hiring Gu Liang to be the alchemist in their store, and they also emphasized that the salary was not low.
If Gu Liang plans to live here for a long time, for the sake of the spirit stone, maybe he will have to agree to him. It's a pity that she is not, Gu Liang Wanyan told the deacon that she is just living here temporarily, and she may have to leave when she will be.
The deacon was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Shangqiu Daoist friends come and go like the wind, if you encounter some small problems in this deserted city, you can come to me." We buy pills in our store. It is also a well-known kindness in the deserted city, and Shangqiu Daoyou has pills for sale, and we welcome them at any time. ”
Gu Liang smiled, revealing a little news that he was refining chalcedony pills, and walked out of the pill shop under the deacon's farewell gaze.
The shop is the property of Shifangmen, the boss of the Northern Plains, and it is easier to sell well and act in a deserted city.
Leaving the shop, Gu Liang walked into a restaurant on the street and sat down by the window on the second floor. She ordered a jug of wine and a few side dishes. While watching the scenery, you can listen to gossip, and you can also taste wine slowly.
The northern plains are extremely cold, and the deserted city is even worse, and the spirit wine in the restaurant is a very high degree of spirit. One bite into the stomach, the whole body is warm, in such a cold weather. It's also a good thing.
The restaurant is much warmer than the street, and the restaurant is covered with a layer of enchantment. You won't feel cold when you open the windows. There are not many monks on the second floor, more than a dozen. The voice of the speaker is not deliberately low, everyone is deaf and clear, and the whispered voice can still be heard, unless the sound is transmitted.
Among them, the highest cultivation was only in the middle of the Jindan period, and Gu Liang's divine sense quietly dispersed, as light as willow catkins, and he knew everything about what was happening on the entire second floor.
After sitting idly like this for two hours, Gu Liang drank two pots of wine, and he knew a little more about the big and small things that happened in the deserted city, so that his eyes would not be blackened.
Xiao Er observed for a long time on the side, and when Gu Liang was tasting wine, he sat down boldly: "Guest officer, but do you want to know some things about the deserted city?" ”
Gu Liang glanced at him with a smile, and without seeing her move, the wine jug moved over a little by itself.
Xiao Er's heart was slightly shocked, anyone can use the Imperial Technique, but there is no Imperial Technique that reveals a trace of aura fluctuations... He glanced at Gu Liang vaguely, put away the contempt in his heart, and became cautious and cautious.
The deserted city will not be peaceful these days, and the masters are also walking all over the ground, he originally thought that this little man was just an ordinary monk, who knew that he was a master!
Xiao Er was not polite, Gu Liang invited him to drink, so he poured a glass of wine and drank it dry, wiped his mouth and said, "Good wine!" If the guest officer wants to know what's going on, please say it bluntly, the small one must know everything. But..."
As he spoke, he rubbed his thumb together and made a cosmic gesture.
Gu Liang's expression was indifferent, and he pretended to be a master: "I will never miss you, let's talk about everything that has happened recently." ”
Xiao Er looked at Gu Liang carefully, but told everything that happened in the city, and what he said was no different from what Gu Liang heard, but the content was more detailed.
As the saying goes, if you see a small thing, you can know autumn with a leaf.
Gu Liang didn't have such a powerful ability, but listening to Xiao Er's methodical narration and stringing together the incidents, he smelled a different taste.
"I heard, in the City Lord's Mansion..."Xiao Er suddenly said, he tapped lightly on the table, his eyes flickering.
Gu Liang knew that he was willing to say it because he wanted to see the benefits, so he threw out a small bag containing spirit stones, and also said, "It depends on the value of the information you can provide." ”
She is an outsider, and no matter how much she knows about things in the deserted city, she has her own limitations. Xiao Er, a local resident who wanders in the restaurant, is different, he must know more than Gu Liang, and what he thinks and guesses is closer to the truth of the facts.
Some news can be obtained from the news dealers in the city, but some news can only be known through his own speculation, which is one of the reasons why Gu Liang did not go to the news dealers.
Gu Xian has not been traced for half a month, and according to his character, he will definitely not leave her a little explanation, unless the matter is urgent, and even the sword talisman has not had time to be issued.
As soon as Gu Liang entered the city, he knew that he was being watched, living in the courtyard of the inn, and there were traces of passive formation outside the courtyard. When she came back from a trip to the magic shop, everything in the room remained the same, but she still knew that the house had been quietly turned over.
There was no one to watch when he went out this time, but in the pill shop, the deacon also vaguely mentioned two sentences that if you encounter something not easy, you can ask him for help.
If Gu Liang couldn't find out that there were ghosts in it, then she would live in vain.
However, the monk in Tsing Yi who was kicked out was an unexpected accident.
Or to be more precise, his appearance was a surprise, whether it was for Gu Liang or Gu Xian, it was a surprise. (To be continued.) )
