Chapter 3: White Rock City
"Father, mother!" Gu Qiu suddenly woke up. He opened his eyes and found himself in a completely unfamiliar room, still a little shaky.
Gu Qiu wanted to get up, but found that he didn't have half the strength. He remembered what had happened before he fell unconscious, and he thought of his father and mother.
He thought that he would never be able to return to his father's shoulders and his mother's arms, and the heart-rending sorrow came like a tidal wave, and he was so sad that he could hardly breathe!
Suddenly, the three-colored ball of light in his mind emitted a faint and soft light, instantly restoring the clarity of the Gu Qiu Lingtai.
Gu Qiu was shocked, looked inwardly at his Divine Consciousness Sea, and found that there was a three-color monster ball in the Divine Consciousness Sea at some point.
"Knock, knock. ”
"Huh?" Gu Qiu wondered, why did I hear this footstep so clearly, could it be that this strange ball made my soul power increase greatly?
Gu Qiu pondered for a while, and said in his heart: "Anyway, I have nothing to lose now, what am I afraid of?
The plan for today is to live first, and only by living can you become stronger, and only by becoming stronger can you save your father and mother!"
At this time, the door was pushed open, and the old man who rescued Gu Qiu walked in with a bowl of medicine, two girls, and a swarthy man, when the old man saw Gu Qiu wake up, his face showed a happy expression, and he walked quickly in front of Gu Qiu and said, "Little brother, you are awake." ”
Gu Qiu saw this situation and replied, "Dare to ask if the old gentleman rescued me?"
Before the old man could speak, the little girl next to her, wearing a white dress and flushed cheeks, preemptively said, "Yes, big brother, you are floating on the sea, it was my grandfather who saved you, and you have been in a coma for seven days." ”
Gu Qiu hurriedly saluted: "Boy Gu Qiu, thank you for the old man's life-saving grace!"
The old man replied with a smile: "It is the duty of a doctor to treat the sick and save people, and it is not enough to worry about it." But where did you come from, where are you going, and why are you floating on this sea?"
As soon as the old man asked, the tall girl in a purple dress on the side couldn't help but turn sideways slightly, and it seemed that she had a lot of curiosity about this young man.
Gu Qiu's mind wandered, he had been killing in the Shura Field for so long, and he had a keen sense of whether others had malicious intentions.
I didn't feel the fluctuation of anger from these three people, and these three people should not harm themselves, but my father also said that when I meet people, I can't throw all my heart away.
So Gu Qiu replied: "Old man, I was traveling with my parents, but I encountered a sea beast on the boat, and now I may have been separated from my parents, so I don't know where I am going." ”
When the old gentleman heard this, he saw that Gu Qiu's words were not detailed, and he didn't ask questions, but smiled and said, "Old man Yingtang runs a medicinal herb shop in Baishi City. These are my two granddaughters, the eldest is called Sakurahime, and the younger is called Rena. And this is the escort we hired to go to sea. The old man pointed to the swarthy middle-aged man.
When Gu Qiu heard this, he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Does the old gentleman know where Tianzhou is?"
"Tianzhou?" Sakurado replied, "The old man doesn't know this place, and as far as I know, there is no such place as Tianzhou in our Divine Annihilation Province. ”
"Where is this?" asked Gu Qiu.
As soon as Sakura Tang saw Gu Qiu's reaction, he guessed that he should not be from this area, so he slowly explained: "The Divine Annihilation Province is one of the more than twenty provinces of our Heavenly Wind Continent's Sun Ring Empire, and White Stone City belongs to the Zhongzhuo Prefecture of the Divine Annihilation Province. Where is the Tianzhou you are talking about, you can inquire slowly in the future. ”
"Tianfeng Continent?" Gu Qiu heard this, and his heart was groaning!
He guessed that he might have come to a place far away from the Heavenly Continent. For the sake of today's plan, I am afraid that I can only settle down and make plans.
So he arched his hand at the old man and said, "Old gentleman, the boy is the first time to set foot in this area, and now he is separated from his family, and I hope that the old man can guide me on what I am doing now." ”
When the little girl next to her heard this, she said, "Big brother, if you don't have a place to go, go to our store, we just need manpower, hehe." ”
"Don't talk too much. The older girl yelled at the little girl.
The little girl shrugged her shoulders and stuck out her tongue.
When Sakura Tang heard this, he smiled and said, "Where is the little brother, since there is no place to live now, then you might as well go and live for a while, and then make plans in the future." ”
Gu Qiu was not hypocritical, and replied: "Then bother the old man." ”
Not far away in a cabin.
Three men stood in the room. The leader is a man with sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and triangular eyes.
One of the other two asked, "Brother Yuan." We have already found out that this Sakura Hall will take his eldest granddaughter Sakura Ji to the medicine island in the Canghai Sea every year to heal her illness, and then he will bring back a green spirit grass for his granddaughter to heal her wounds on weekdays.
The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man heard this: "Green spirit grass is a rare thing, I don't know why this old man of Sakura Hall can afford to buy such an elixir, and he also has the money to hire a martial artist, this old man must have a secret." The person he hired is also in the Forging Body Realm, and he is only higher than me, not lower, so it's not easy to start now. However, this person is a ship escort, and when he arrives at the White Rock City dock, this man will definitely not get off the ship, and we will do it again at that time. ”
The other two replied, "Yes!"
And in the next five days, Gu Qiu's body gradually recovered, and Sakura still came to visit every day, and every time Lian Ruo came, he would bring some foreign food to Gu Qiu every time.
Where had Gu Qiu eaten these, so he ate all of them every time, and he looked at the wolf-eating appearance and giggled pitifully. Sakurahime also came twice, but she only came to deliver medicine for Sakurado, and every time she put down the medicine bowl, she left directly, without saying a word. Every time Gu Qiu wanted to thank him, he didn't have a chance, and Gu Qiu could only smile bitterly in his heart.
"It's almost to White Rock City!" shouted someone on deck.
At this moment, a large number of people who wanted to disembark from White Rock City poured onto the bow deck. The strong feeling of returning home was ignited at this moment, and everyone was excited.
Gu Qiu and Sakurado's family also came to the deck, ready to disembark.
Sakurado stood by the bulwark, beckoning to Guqiu to pass over. Gu Qiu walked over and looked in the direction of the boat, only to see a white city sitting on the shoreline.
The city wall is at least five zhang high, and the long view is not visible, and the momentum is extraordinary.
Seeing Gu Qiu's touched expression, Sakura Tang also said a little proudly: "Little brother, do you know why the city bricks of our White Rock City are white?"
Gu Qiu looked at it for a long time, couldn't see the fame, and said, "The kid is stupid. ”
Sakurado explained: "This is because we have been soaked in the blood of demon beasts within a radius of thousands of miles from White Rock City! Hundreds of years ago, the tide of sea beasts broke out, and tens of millions of sea beasts attacked Zhongzhuozhou, and White Rock City bore the brunt of it, and the defending army was about to collapse at the touch of a button, and civilians were slaughtered and devoured countless times. In the end, one of the royal family's Xuanzun worshippers came in person and led the nearby large and small sects to repel the beast tide. And that Xuanzun worshiped one person to slaughter hundreds of thousands of demon beasts alone, and the blood of the beasts stained the land. Since then, the stones in the White Rock area have corroded and become the white they are today. ”
Xuan Zun! One person killed hundreds of thousands of demon beasts, what a world-shattering demeanor! Gu Qiu's heart fluttered.
Sakura Tang was stunned when he saw Gu Qiu listening, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's almost there, let's get ready to get off the boat." ”
The merchant ship slowly docked on the dock, and the three of Sakurado ancestors and Gu Qiu got off the boat, only to see a man on the dock running over quickly.
It was a middle-aged man in his thirties, of medium height, with a square face, as if he hadn't slept soundly for several nights, and his eyes were deeply sunken.
When Lianruo and Sakurado saw the middle-aged man, they both pounced on him and shouted, "Father!"
After the middle-aged man met his two daughters, he walked straight to Sakurado and asked a little nervously, "Father, can you find something?"
Sakurado smiled and nodded.
The middle-aged man received an affirmative reply from Sakurado, and the gloom on his face suddenly dissipated.
When Yingtang saw it, he happily introduced to Gu Qiu: "This is my son Yingsha." ”
Then he introduced Gu Qiu to Sakura. When Sakura Sha heard what happened to Gu Qiu, he was also very emotional, he was a kind and open-minded person, and immediately invited Gu Qiu into the city.
And just as the group of five was about to leave the dock, three people stopped in front of Sakurado's family, and it was the three who had just plotted against Sakurado on the boat.
There was a crowd of people on the dock, and when they saw the three of them stopping the Sakurado family, they couldn't help but look sideways.
"Hey, I don't know which one is going to be unlucky again, Duan Sanzi is a famous bully in this place. ”
"Yes, today he personally took action, and the other party is estimated to be broken. ”
"I heard that Duan San Mouse was already a martial artist three years ago!"
"What? Then why are you doing this?"
"Maybe there's some treasure in the old man's family. ”
As soon as Sakurado saw that the visitor was not good, he politely asked, "May I ask why the three of you stopped me from going?"
The person who was called Duan Sanzi said in a strange manner: "Old man, a few of our brothers went to sea to get a green spirit grass, and when they just got off the boat, they found that it was gone, some people said that they saw your granddaughter stealing it, but is there such a thing?"
Sakurahime saw that the other party said that he had stolen something, or something that his grandfather had worked so hard to find, and immediately became angry, and hurriedly defended: "You, you are talking nonsense, I have not left the deck just now, how could I steal your things, I don't know you." Moreover, our green spirit grass was hard to find by grandpa, what does it have to do with you!"
"Sakurahime, stop!" Sakurado drank.
Sakura Tang arched his hand towards the sharp-mouthed man and said, "That's it, little old man, I still have dozens of gold coins on me, as a filial piety to the uncle, do you think it's okay?"
Duan San Mouse snorted and said, "I just need to find the green spirit grass I lost, I don't want anything else, since your granddaughter doesn't admit it, then I can only search on you." ”
After that, the man waved his hand, and the other two big men blocked all the ways of Sakurado and his party, one left and one right, and it seemed that as long as anyone moved, they would have to subdue it.
Duan San Mouse grinned and walked towards Sakurahime step by step.
"She said she didn't take it, she didn't take it, and she was with me all the time. A discordant voice said.
Duan San Mouse looked up in surprise and found that the person who spoke was the last young man, and after the young man finished speaking, he slowly walked out, and this young man was Gu Qiu.
"Who are you?" asked Duan Sanzizi. has been fighting for a long time, and his personality seems to be perverse, but he is actually cautious.
"It doesn't matter who I am, we're leaving now. Gu Qiu said lightly, and didn't even look at Duan Sanzi.
"You..." Duan Sanzi was just about to speak, when he suddenly found an extremely thick killing aura erupting on the young man opposite, and he was immediately suffocated by his breath.
"Let's go!" Gu Qiu said to the four of them in the Sakura Hall. Then he walked over to the other two big men, and the two big men saw that the leader did not stop them, so they did not take action.
When Sakura Tang saw it, how could he not know what was going on, so he immediately raised his hand, and the four of them followed Gu Qiu and left.
When Gu Qiu walked away, a big man asked strangely, "Boss, why did you let them go?"
Duan Sanzi seemed to come back to his senses after a while, and muttered back: "This young man's strength is not below me, if you do it today, the outcome is unpredictable, but if I can't get it, it won't make them feel better, keep an eye on them." After that, there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
And at the same time that Gu Qiu's five people entered the city, on a seashore fifty miles away from Baishi City, a fat man looked up at the sky in the direction of Baishi City, showed a puzzled look, and said to himself: "Strange, why did Xuanyan fluctuate just now?"
