Chapter 374: A Wolf Who Doesn't Steal Meat but Vegetables (Two in One)
After getting the Enlightenment Gu, Li Qiu stayed in the inn with peace of mind, waiting for the day when the Silver Toad Sect would recruit disciples.
In the early morning, a white mist fills the town, and the wind from the mountains blows through the streets, bringing a bit of coolness.
Unlike Lintong County, which is located in the north, it is the season of heavy snowfall.
He'an County is located in the south, with a warm climate like spring all year round.
Li Qiu went downstairs, sat in the lobby of the inn, and called Xiao Er to order a pot of wine and a few side dishes, intending to have a full stomach.
A pot of good autumn dew was sent by Xiao Er, and the side dishes with full color and fragrance were served.
Li Qiu drank the wine slowly and ate it, and when he was about to finish eating, he frowned slightly, realizing that something was wrong.
He counted the dishes on the table.
The number of dishes is wrong, two dishes are missing.
He eats very slowly, and it stands to reason that no matter how slow he cooks, it should be ready, why hasn't it been served yet.
At this moment, someone in the lobby slapped the table and shouted discontentedly.
"Little Er, I'm almost done with my meal, why haven't my dishes been served yet?!"
"yes!
"I'll be here at dawn, I've been waiting for almost half an hour, and the food hasn't been served yet!"
Xiao Er ran out of the back kitchen and apologized one by one.
"I'm sorry, there is something wrong with the kitchen preparation of our inn. ”
"Guest officer, I'm sorry, remember today's dish first, next time you come to our inn, we will cook it for you, and give you a signature dish for free!"
Xiao Eryi's apologies and promises were made to calm down the disgruntled guests.
Some guests asked curiously.
"What's wrong with the food preparation in the back kitchen? Is it that the people who buy the vegetables don't get up?"
As soon as Xiao Er thought of this, he was angry.
"Originally, I bought today's vegetables before dawn, but I don't know which damn vegetable thief got up this morning and actually stole all the vegetables!"
"The cook in the back kitchen had just finished frying a meat dish, and when he turned around, he suddenly found that a large number of dishes were gone, and only meat remained. ”
Xiao Er opened his arms and gestured.
"It's strange that this thief has superb means, and he can steal the food in broad daylight without knowing it. ”
"Especially when I put more valuable meat, I don't steal it, I just steal vegetables. ”
There are guests in the lobby who sigh in amazement.
Listening to the conversation in the lobby, Li Qiu frowned thoughtfully.
"It doesn't sound like something ordinary people do, could it be that those children of the Gu Dao clan did it, in order to feed the Gu worms?"
"But can't you buy it for money?"
Gold and silver are nothing to the children of the Gu Dao family.
"Is it a descendant of the declining Gu Dao family?"
"But it stands to reason that if you have such a skill, can you steal food but not silver?"
Li Qiu was puzzled in his heart, and it happened that Xiao Er came to his table to make amends.
"Guest Officer ......"
Xiao Er was just about to repeat the set of rhetoric he just said.
Li Qiu waved his hand, stopped his words, and took out a small ingot of silver from his arms.
"Take me to your back kitchen. ”
"Guest officer, who are you?" Xiao Er immediately smiled when he saw Yinzi, but he was a little puzzled.
"This thief has some skills, and I want to see if I can find some clues to catch him. ”
Li Qiu casually coped with it.
"Guest, if you can really catch him, thank you so much, please drink next time. ”
Xiao Er gritted his teeth a little when he thought of the thief who stole the vegetables, and the thief caused him to have to bend down and smile with every guest.
"The back kitchen is over there, please come with me. ”
Li Qiu and Xiao Er came to the back kitchen of the inn.
As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Er patted his head and suddenly remembered.
"Guest officer, there are still a few tables of guests upstairs who have not apologized, you can see for yourself, I won't accompany you. ”
Xiao Er quickly stepped forward and patted the cook who was stir-frying, gestured to Li Qiu's side, and after saying a few words, he hurriedly left.
"Guest, please poop, I still have dishes here that haven't been fried. ”
The cook, who had a big waist and a round waist, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his hands kept working, and apologized.
Li Qiu said that it was okay, turned around in the kitchen, and soon came to the corner of the wall where the dishes were originally placed.
There are some traces of soil here, which must have fallen from the soil on the vegetable roots.
He took a closer look at the area.
After a while, Li Qiu saw a footprint on the dirt trace, and his pupils shrank.
These are not human footprints.
"Seems to be a wolf ......?"
Li Qiu was the first Orion, and immediately recognized what kind of beast paw prints it was.
The paw prints of wolves are generally similar to those of dogs, but the paw prints of wolves are much larger than those of dogs, and there are some subtle differences.
After careful identification, he determined that this was the wolf's paw print.
How can wolf paw prints appear in the kitchen?
"It seems that my guess is correct. ”
Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly.
After he felt that this matter didn't seem like the children of the Gu Dao family had done it, another conjecture was born in his heart.
Could this have been done by a wild Gu?
If it was somewhere else, Gu was naturally not so easy to encounter.
But this Fuling Town is close to the Gu Dao Great Sect Silver Toad Sect.
The Silver Toad Sect chose Wo Toad Ridge as the sect's residence because there were many Gu worms in this mountain range.
There are Gu worms running from Wotoad Ridge to the nearby Fuling Town, think about it, it is very likely to happen.
He came to the back kitchen and confirmed it, which confirmed his conjecture.
Judging from the current information, there should be a Gu worm that got into the heart of a wolf, turned it into a Gu beast, and controlled what it did.
"But what kind of Gu worm should this be, and what kind of ability does it have?"
Although he knew some information about Gu Dao from Lin Yongan, it didn't mean that he already knew all about Gu worms.
As far as the Gu worms he knew, none of them could do such a thing.
However, what kind of ability that Gu worm is, as long as it is captured at that time, you can know.
A glint appeared in Li Qiu's eyes.
He can't stay here all the time, or else it will be easy to arouse suspicion.
The people in the town were not afraid, they were only afraid of attracting the attention of those children of the Gu Dao family.
Before, he released the news that he was going to exchange the three transformation bat Gu for a turn of the opening Gu, which made many people secretly pay attention to him.
He stood up, pretended to have found everything, and walked out of the back kitchen and returned to his room.
Then he began to pay attention to the movement of the kitchen with his hearing far beyond ordinary people.
That Gu worm can come and steal it once, and most likely there will be a second time.
There are still a few days before the Silver Toad Sect recruits disciples, and there is nothing to do for the time being anyway, so it is better to see if we can catch this Gu worm.
At that time, depending on what this Gu worm's ability is, it may be able to be exchanged for a good cultivation technique.
Those who are strong and prosperous Gu Dao family disciples naturally don't dare to exchange their own exercises, but those descendants of the Gu Dao family who have fallen may not be so particular about Gu worms.
After two or three days, Li Qiu, who was eating in the lobby, was distracted by the movement in the kitchen while eating, and suddenly heard someone talking at a few tables in the distance.
"I heard that a few days ago, Ge Laohan found a wolf in the vegetable field he planted, he went to fight with a hoe, and the wolf actually got into the soil and disappeared?"
"Where did you hear that, fake?"
Ge Laohan said when he was selling vegetables on the street today. ”
"Most of them were made up by Ge Laohan. ”
"I think so. ”
"But the old man said it like he was serious, and it didn't look like it was fake. ”
"Is that he drunk and misunderstood, and he was going to say that the wolf ran away from me, burrowed into the dirt and disappeared?" the man snorted disdainfully.
Several others were also obviously unconvinced, and did not want to discuss the matter any further.
"What are you talking about, drink and drink!"
Li Qiu's expression was thoughtful, and then a haze flashed on his face.
He knew what that Gu worm's ability was.
But it's a pity that he is not the only one who knows about the existence of this Gu worm.
Next, there are probably a lot of people who want to catch this Gu worm.
Next, I can only hope that the Gu worm can be smarter and not be caught by those people.
Li Qiu had a hint of hope in his eyes, raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and walked upstairs to the room.
Only that afternoon, Li Qiu heard from the lobby that someone actually spent a large ingot of gold to buy the broken courtyard of Ge Laohan.
After that, I didn't know what treasures there were in that courtyard, and many people from outside the town were attracted to it, and they didn't walk around the courtyard, and one by one the rich children in brocade robes looked inside the wall regardless of their manners.
Ge Laohan's dilapidated courtyard.
Before a vegetable patch.
A table is placed on the floor.
Several people sat around the table, drinking tea one by one.
"These people are staying outside the hospital, should we find a way to get rid of them?"
One of them glanced around at the group of Gu Dao clan disciples surrounding the low courtyard wall, and frowned and proposed.
Zheng Hong sneered: "If they want to keep it, they will keep it." ”
"As soon as that Gu beast appears, I can use the Gu Dao Treasure Weapon on my body to catch it, if anyone dares to snatch it from me, I will urge the Gu Dao Treasure Weapon to kill them, what can the Gu Dao family behind them say!"
This small courtyard was bought by Zheng Honghua with an ingot of gold, and it is considered to be his place.
In addition, if he grabbed the Gu worm first, no matter who crossed the courtyard wall and snatched it from Zheng Hong, it would not matter.
Even if Zheng Hong killed everyone, those Gu Dao clans would have no reason to attack.
Of course, the most important point is that the Gu Dao family behind these people is not as strong as the Zheng family behind Zheng Hong, and Zheng Hong is one of the most qualified people in the Zheng family's generation.
Give those Gu Dao families ten dares, and they don't dare to denounce Zheng Hong in the case of making a mistake.
After a pause, Zheng Hong sneered again.
"I even wish they could make a move, if these people enter the Silver Toad Sect with me, the resources of the Silver Toad Sect will be a waste for them, so it's better to give them all. ”
"Even if a thousand weak people are cultivated, it is better to cultivate one strong person!"
Listening to Zheng Hong's arrogant words, several Zheng family disciples beside him had a little sneer and flattery on their faces, and they repeatedly said that they didn't dare to refute it in the slightest.
Zheng Hong glanced at a few people, and said secretly in his heart.
"It's a lot more comfortable to be away from that eye-catching waste. ”
Catching Gu worms was such an important matter, he naturally wouldn't bring Zheng Liang who didn't surrender to him.
Zheng Hong has been leading everyone to exclude and ridicule Zheng Liang, just because Zheng Liang has not been soft to him.
Among the several Zheng family disciples who came to the Silver Toad Sect together, even the Zheng family disciples around him who had better qualifications than Zheng Liang, after knowing his innate qualifications, all surrendered to him one after another, saying that they would take him as the leader in the future.
Only the most cowardly Zheng Liang didn't, how could this not make him feel annoyed!
Boom!
The courtyard door was suddenly kicked open.
The group swaggered in, and then the courtyard door was closed.
A chair is placed at the other end of the vegetable patch.
A slender man with a gloomy appearance slowly sat down on the chair, tidied up the hem of his clothes, and then slowly leaned back on the back of the chair, looking at the opposite side with a rebellious expression.
Zheng Hong slammed the table and stood up.
"Yuan Tong, I have bought this courtyard with a gold ingot. ”
Yuan Tong smoothed the wrinkled sleeves with his backhand, and didn't even look at the angry Zheng Hong, it seemed that Zheng Hong was not qualified to be looked at by him at all.
"I know, but so what. ”
"This courtyard is mine, how dare you come in without my permission!" Zheng Hong's face was gloomy and almost dripping water.
"When you say that, I don't think I'm supposed to do it. ”
Yuan Tong raised his head as if he had realized it and looked at Zheng Hong.
He paused, then continued.
"In that case, then you go to the yamen to sue me, and I will wait for you here. ”
"You ......"
Zheng Hong was so angry that he almost overturned the table in front of him, sacrificed the Gu Dao treasure, and hit Yuan Tong directly.
But he endured it anyway.
Because the Yuan family behind Yuan Tong is stronger than their Zheng family.
Moreover, the Gu Dao treasure weapon that Yuan Tong had on his body would never be weaker than him.
If he really wants to make a move, he may not be Yuan Tong's opponent.
......
My glasses broke and slipped into the tub when I took a shower and put water in the water.
The layer on the glasses seems to be an anti-blue light film, which is burned and peeled off and mottled.
As a result, I now seem to be through the rain curtain, coding words on the computer, which is very difficult, so I write very slowly, I hope you understand.
I just spent a sum of money today and ordered glasses online, and I don't want to lose my full attendance again.
So take a few hundred words first, and after uploading, I will immediately write the remaining hundreds of words, and then revise them.
I hope you will understand.
Gu insects are favored by the creation of heaven and earth, not only do they have all kinds of strange abilities when they are born, but their corpses are also extraordinary after death.
The Gu Dao Treasure Weapon is made from the corpse of the Gu worm, mixed with various heavenly and earthly treasures, and has one of the abilities or some of the abilities of the Gu worm before its death.
The Yunkong Ring that Zheng Liang was wearing on his hand was refined from the Yunkong Gu corpse mixed with several other heavenly and earthly treasures.
However, the Gu Dao Treasure Weapon can't compare to the Gu worm.
First of all, Gu worms can transform and advance, making their own abilities stronger, and after the Gu Dao treasure weapon is refined, its power can no longer be increased.
For example, the Yunkong Gu can continuously expand the space in its body through transformation, from the size of a box at the beginning to the size of a hill.
After reaching a high level, you can even let the Gu Master hide in the space, if the enemy can't break the space, don't think about hurting the Gu Master.
And how much space is hidden after the Void Ring is refined, it will be fixed in the future, and it is impossible to give birth to the ability to allow Gu masters to hide in the space.
Moreover, if a seventh-turn Gu worm was refined into a Gu Dao treasure weapon, the power it could exert was generally only comparable to that of a sixth-turn Gu worm.
Take the Yunkong Gu as an example, after the corpse is refined into a Gu Dao treasure, the space contained will shrink a lot.
