In the afternoon, the warm sun shines on the bluestone streets, and the pedestrians are bustling with dappled shadows.

When the horse slowed down, the young coachman turned around and asked, "Are you sure the guest officer is not wrong?"

Gu Xuan's face was expressionless: "It's just a place name, how can you say it wrong?"

The young coachman glanced left and right before he lowered his voice and said, "Don't hide it from the guest officer, as early as three years ago, the Dinghou Mansion was razed to the ground, and hundreds of people in the mansion were all killed. ”

Suddenly hearing this, Gu Xuan's expression was just a little complicated, and he didn't have any sadness: "What's the matter, please tell me carefully." ”

The young coachman asked, "How about this?" There is a secluded path that leads to the old land of Dinghou Mansion......

Gu Xuan interrupted directly: "Take the path and go to the ruins of Dinghou Mansion." ”

"Okay. ”

The young coachman flicked the reins, and the carriage changed direction, passing through several alleys in succession, and turning onto a dirt road.

This road is sparsely populated and the buildings on both sides are old houses, which is indeed much quieter than the main road.

It was only at this time, as if there was no concern of any kind, that the young coachman said loudly: "Guest officer, the Dinghou Mansion has been destroyed, and the little one doesn't know much. ”

Gu Xuan didn't have a trace of turmoil in his heart: "It's okay, you know how much you say, and you will be rewarded afterwards." ”

The young coachman said slowly: "Three years ago, late at night in the late autumn, the Dinghou Mansion was on fire, and the chickens and dogs were not left. ”

Gu Xuan asked: "Now that the murderer has been identified, have Leng Fengtang and the second son of Minghou been punished?"

The young coachman said: "Of course, in the early winter of three years ago, the Cold Wind Hall in Luzhou was uprooted, and the Minghou Mansion was beheaded all over the house. ”

Gu Xuan didn't say anything more, and the young coachman thought that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to disturb and concentrate on driving.

The carriage turned all the way, and it took an hour before stopping, and the young coachman said: "Guest officer, this is the ruins of Dinghou Mansion." ”

"Take a turn. ”

"Okay. ”

The carriage followed the ruins in a circle, and as far as the eyes could see, the Dinghou Mansion had indeed become a charred black ruin, overgrown with weeds.

......

The white clouds were blooming, the spirit crane flew slowly, Gu Xuanpan sat on the crane's back, and muttered: "The Dinghou Mansion was destroyed, and the enemy family gave the head, which is considered a cycle of cause and effect, but I didn't get to see my biological father, and I always have some regrets." ”

Wang Mang sighed: "Since ancient times, people who should be robbed have their own number of disasters, and Zhou Ding, as your biological father, should have a catastrophe." ”

Gu Xuan smiled bitterly: "Whether I am the one who should be robbed is not yet known, even if it is the so-called person who should be robbed......

Thinking of what happened to his adoptive father and biological mother, Gu Xuan suddenly fell silent.

Wang Mang said quietly: "It is rumored that Emperor Xi was also ruined back then, and even Taoist couples and several confidants were scattered, until the establishment of the Daxi Dynasty, he married the current queen." ”

Gu Xuanyi raised his eyebrows: "In this way, Emperor Xi is the one who responded to the last calamity?"

"Exactly. Wang Mang's voice was solemn, "Before this heaven and earth catastrophe comes, you'd better stay alone and concentrate on cultivation, and don't have a Taoist companion." ”

Gu Xuan frowned, did not respond, and Di Hong's figure flashed in his heart.

Wang Mang didn't go into the topic, but asked, "Where are you going next?"

Gu Xuan didn't want to think about it: "Naturally, it is where the waterfall mechanism is." ”

Wang Mang was silent for a while: "If you go to meet Wang Ling by chance, the old man thinks that you will run in vain." ”

Gu Xuan asked, "Why?"

Wang Mang said slowly: "As far as the old man knows, there is an upper limit to the luck of a certain period, and if the luck is exhausted, it is no different from ordinary people. ”

After a slight pause, Wang Mang continued: "Throughout your experience, every time you go to a place, there will be adventures, all of which are caused by luck, and good fortune shines brightly. Since you left the Nangong family, your experience and luck have been exhausted, and you will not even be able to see your biological father in front of your party in Xing'an City. ”

Gu Xuan sighed lightly: "I have already guessed Wang Ling's whereabouts, and if I don't take a look, I always feel unwilling." ”

......

Daixi is the largest stream in Lishan, Danzhou, looking down from a high altitude, like a streamer, meandering.

A jet-black spirit crane was flying at a low altitude, advancing along the Belt River, and Gu Xuanpan sat on the crane's back, looking down left and right.

There are few tall trees along the stream, mostly clumps of shrubs, and the stream is full of bare rocks.

Wang Mang said: "Kuzhou is the territory of the Jiuyuan Sect, and there are also many scattered cultivators who cultivate here, and the Lishan Cave Mansion was opened up by the old man after he advanced to the Gangli Realm. ”

Gu Xuan knew that the Nine Yuan Sect was one of the three great avenue sects of the Xi Kingdom, and its strength was slightly inferior to the other two sects, so he immediately asked, "There are many cave mansions in the predecessors?"

Wang Mang smiled: "The cunning rabbit has three caves, and most of the scattered cultivators will open up the caves to meet the needs of the time, but they just choose a place with abundant spiritual energy and waste a set of array flags." ”

The crane flew forward, the stream gradually became turbulent, and a strange rocky cliff appeared in front of it.

A waterfall about ten feet long hangs in front of the cliff, rumbling and pouring into the pool below the cliff.

"Senior, the waterfall has arrived. ”

The spirit crane was instructed in advance, and immediately let out a long roar, hovering in front of the waterfall on its own, and Gu Xuanlang spoke loudly.

Wang Mang said calmly: "The old man's early cave is inside, and you can see it through the waterfall. ”

Gu Xuan patted the crane's back, his body flipped into the void, and then he urged the true power, and two clouds of white qi appeared under his feet.

I wanted to explain that Linghe was on guard outside, but after thinking about it, Xiaoqing has a special bloodline and unlimited potential, and if something happens, it will be too late for him to cry.

"Xiaoqing, come in. ”

Gu Xuan took out the Fusheng bag, and his true power was consistent, and the mouth of the bag emitted a suction force, inhaling the flying spirit crane into it.

Wang Mang said: "Move down about half a zhang to be the exact position." ”

Gu Xuan took a few steps in the air, and the white qi under his feet disappeared from time to time, and then his body crashed into the waterfall.

Sure enough, as Wang Mang said, there was a damp cave behind the waterfall, about seven feet away from the waterfall, and there was a shining blue light curtain.

Gu Xuan stood at the entrance of the cave, drenched all over, running the steam method while observing the surroundings.

Wang Mang said: "Carefully calculated, the old man has not been to this cave for hundreds of years, and when he left, some of the marks left behind have long since disappeared. ”

Gu Xuan looked at the blue light curtain, his eyes flashing: "I don't want the light curtain to operate normally after a hundred years." ”

Wang Mang said: "This magic circle is quite mysterious, it can mobilize the water aura and earth aura here at the same time, forming a double defense. As long as the aura is inexhaustible, the light curtain will always exist. ”

Gu Xuan was puzzled: "Since you have dual aura, why do you only see the blue light curtain?"

Wang Mang explained: "There is a layer of yellow light curtain behind the blue light curtain, and you can't see your eyesight, mental power and divine sense. ”

Gu Xuan groaned: "Even the strength of the gang can't break the formation, the masters of the True Power Realm can only cast the talisman treasure, if Ximen Qi and Wang Ling came here...... That's right, Ximen Qi must have a talisman treasure on his body. ”

Wang Mang explained: "That's right, Ximen Qi used the rune treasure to break the formation, the real power was exhausted, only Wang Ling was left with combat power, and then we used the organs in the cave mansion, we have a chance to escape." ”

Gu Xuan Senran said: "The coming day is long, I haven't met Wang Ling this time, sooner or later I have to clean up her little life." ”

Wang Mang said: "Kuzhou and Kuzhou are far away, and Lishan is in the mountains, how can the waterfall here be so easy to find." ”

Gu Xuan stepped forward a few steps and touched the blue light curtain: "Wang Ling is not here, there is no need to break the formation, and it is time to go back." ”

......

There is a basin-shaped valley in the west of Cuishan, which is shrouded in gray fog for many years, and in the valley is the fang market opened by the descendants of the Ximen family, which is called Ruyi Fang.

A bluestone staircase leads from the gray mist of the valley mouth to the outside of the mountain.

Gu Xuanxin walked on the bluestone steps, and the people up and down around him were all warriors in different costumes.

There are only a handful of people in the Ximen family who have seen Gu Xuan, so he came openly.

Wang Mang slowly introduced: "Ruyifang belongs to the low-end market, mainly for the samurai group. Each of the four great families has a low-end market, while the three great avenues have two markets, and the high-end market is dedicated to serving monks. ”

Gu Xuan quickly walked in front of the gray mist, and Wang Mang continued to introduce: "This fog looks like nothing, but it is a set of magic arrays that are both offensive and defensive, and can resist the attacks of the Gangli Realm monks. All you have to do is bring out your power and you'll be able to pass through safely. ”

Gu Xuan remained silent, stretched out his right hand, probed into the gray mist, and then urged the true power to emanate from the palm of his hand.

I saw a burst of smoke rolling, and suddenly lined up on both sides, revealing a straight bluestone road.

When Gu Xuan walked briskly through the passage, Ruyi Fang came into view.

I saw the green trees, the buildings are heavy, the wide streets, people come and go, the river is endless, and there are guys at the door of the store to solicit customers.

Except for the gray fog shrouded in the sky, it seems to be almost the same as Ximenfang.

Gu Xuan walked slowly along the street, his eyes looking at it casually.

Ruyifang is a circular structure, and there are many pedestrians on the curved street, including Siemens disciples, Jianghu warriors, and hurried vendors.

Moving some distance down the street, Gu Xuan walked into a shop called "Fang Hua Ge" and was warmly welcomed by a male man.

This is a comprehensive store, and the products are all related to cultivation.

Gu Xuan asked while looking at it, and learned that most commodities were traded in gold leaves.

A high-grade weapon requires fifty gold leaves, and a low-grade storage bag requires 100 gold leaves.

Gu Xuan focused on inquiring about the Yangli Pill sold by piece, only receiving spirit stones, and a low-grade spirit stone could buy three.

After understanding the approximate price, Gu Xuan casually found an excuse and Shi Shiran left, which made the dry-mouthed man scornful for a while.

Just as he was about to walk into another store, Wang Mang said with a lack of interest: "The prices in Fang City are not much different, just a small shop, don't go shopping, you can go to the imperial city another day to open your eyes." ”

Gu Xuan naturally had no objections, continued to walk forward, did not enter the store again, and went straight to the Tea Pavilion.

Pinming Pavilion is the store where Gu Xuan cooperated with Ximen Fei and Ximen Xiang, and he never came to it.

This pavilion has four floors, one floor of loose tables, two floors of booths, three floors of boxes, and four floors are not open to the public.

"Welcome. ”

Seeing Gu Xuan coming, his bearing was extraordinary, and the two men at the door bowed down to greet him.

Gu Xuan nodded casually, walked into the first floor with his head held high, and the noisy sound suddenly hit his face.

The hall on the first floor was full, and the tea guests gathered in twos and threes, and the guys with trays shuttled back and forth.
