"Do you know anything about Sha Wuliu?" Gu Huai wanted to ask Heizai like this, but after thinking about it, he felt a little abrupt, so he said in a false sentence, "The scenery of this quicksand island is strange, watch it here." ”

"What about you, Brother Blackboy, oh, no, Brother Zhu," Gu Huai asked rhetorically, "Are you going to do something in such a hurry?"

Black boy waved his hand and said:

"It's not a business, it's just that I, like you, want to go to this island and experience the beauty for myself. ”

"Brother Zhu, you have to be careful on this big night. Gu Huai said this, but he felt that the distance between himself and this colleague was getting farther and farther away.

He concluded that such a purposeful person would never be attached to these worldly beauties.

"Brother Gu Huai," Heizai smiled and nodded at Gu Huai with his finger, "It's you who should be careful." ”

Gu Huai was stunned when he said this, and the moment when the arrow of the Wind General in the Dune Valley came to his mind again, he felt a little chill down his back.

At first, I thought that the black boy would be a lost place, but I didn't expect that now I am also in danger.

After standing for a long time, Gu Huai was about to rest behind closed doors, when he suddenly saw a person coming from the opposite side.

This person was dressed in a yellow sand robe, with a fat body and a slow walk.

When I walked to Gu Huai, I saw that the man had a shiny face, a small nose and eyes, a pair of fat lips, a goatee, and two copper coins on his body.

"Is this the residence of the You family's Gu Huai brothers?" the fat merchant saluted when he saw Gu Huai, his words were gentle and his attitude was courteous.

"Yes," Gu Huai nodded, a little sleepy, but when he saw a guest visiting, he also held on and replied, "It's Gu Huai below, dare to ask Your Excellency?"

"Ahh ”

Huang Shopkeeper!?

As soon as Gu Huai heard this person's report, he suddenly fell asleep, and the hairs on his body stood up instinctively.

Don't you know who reminded the yellow shopkeeper? Be careful of the yellow shopkeeper?

He unconsciously looked at the fat merchant again, and once again made a polite gesture in his hand, and his mouth coped:

"Lucky to meet the Huang shopkeeper! Come to visit at night, I don't know how I can help you?"

Looking at the other party like that, although he is not good-looking, he is also friendly, and it is difficult to make people feel hostile.

Shopkeeper Huang smiled, took out something from his robe as he spoke, and handed it to Gu Huaidao:

"If you want any help, it's all on this flowing island, so it's easy to get acquainted with each other. ”

Gu Huai was not stupid, seeing that the other party was coming to deliver something, his attitude was also very friendly, and it didn't hurt to take a look, so he took it.

Take a look at it in your hand, and sigh that this thing is so exquisite!

A lotus flower. Golden, the size of a fist, if you look closely, you can see a little bit of luminous light flowing along the veins of the petals, although it is just an object, but there is a sense of life.

"The golden lotus of sand and water," the yellow shopkeeper smiled brighter, "It brings together the power of the three elements of earth, metal and water, and places it in the house for the purpose of calming the nerves." ”

"This thing, it doesn't seem like we have in the shop. Gu Huai listened to it in his ears, muttered in his mouth, and played with the lotus flower in his hand, which seemed to be very fond of it.

"That's nature," Shopkeeper Huang said with some pride, "This is not a thing from the Sand Kun Realm." ”

"Isn't it the Sand Kun Realm?" Gu Huai continued to mutter, but his eyes never left the lotus, "Where is that......

"Little brother likes it, just take it!" Huang shopkeeper patted Gu Huai's shoulder and said.

"That's ...... Is it really possible?" Gu Huai's eyes were a little dilated, as if he was fascinated, turning the lotus flower over and over again.

"Of course!" shopkeeper Huang said loudly, "I don't have more than such a treasure here, if the little brother has the opportunity in the future, just come to my store to pick it." ”

Gu Huai was stunned, nodded, and then slowly said word by word:

"But...... The so-called gift exchange, I don't have anything to give to the shopkeeper Huang, how can it be a good ......"

"Ouch-" Shopkeeper Huang looked panicked, pushed forward with his palm, and said politely, "You can see the outside." You Qiu and I are old friends, and the little brother is still telling me what etiquette, so I will see the outside!"

"It's just ......" Huang Shopkeeper's face suddenly changed slightly, and he whispered in Gu Huai's ear, "I don't know what your estimate of Moyangfang is?"

Gu Huai frowned, glanced up, then tilted his head, thought for a while:

"Five hundred, about five hundred gold?"

"Then how much do you think it's five hundred?" asked the shopkeeper Huang, who narrowed his eyes closer and leaned closer.

"Five hundred and twenty?" Gu Huai shook his head, a little confused.

He only remembered that he had talked about this price in the shop before, and the valuation of Moyangfang was five hundred and twenty taels of gold.

"Five hundred and twenty, good. The shopkeeper muttered, and then asked, "Then how are you going to bid this time?"

"This ......" Gu Huai frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't know about this." ”

"Oh, do you know who set the price?" The fat man's tone at this moment was almost like coaxing a child.

However, Gu Huai didn't know how to let others coax him at this time, and said:

"We are here, it should be Xiao Hei to make this offer. ”

"Xiao Hei?" Huang shopkeeper frowned, "Then where is this Xiao Hei?"

"To...... Go over there......" Gu Huai pointed to the direction where the black boy left just now.

Shopkeeper Huang looked at the direction of Gu Huai's finger, suddenly did not speak, his already small eyes had narrowed into a slit, and then got up, and without saying goodbye to Gu Huai, he walked in the direction that Gu Huai said.

Gu Huai glanced blankly at the back of the Huang shopkeeper leaving, then closed the door of the house, sat on the bed and lowered his head and continued to play with the sand water golden lotus, as if he was tireless.

Suddenly, the bag he was carrying began to glow slightly, attracting Gu Huai's attention.

Gu Huai stopped fiddling with his hands, slowly raised his head, and looked at the bag he had placed at the head of the bed when he entered the house. Looking at the glittering light, for a moment, he seemed to notice a figure approaching him and saying a few words.

He heard a man whispering in his ear:

"The golden lotus of sand and water is a deceptive thing, it will last for a long time until death, so let's abandon it first!"

Then a big hand shook in front of his eyes, and he fell asleep.

In his dream, he saw the man in the white robe again.

It was the man who let Gu Huai see the "Shangsheng Secret Method" before.

This man was standing in a desert city, surrounded by the appearance of a sand city. To Gu Huai's surprise, he was also holding a sand water golden lotus and fiddling with it, with an expression of greedy enjoyment on his face.

He wondered, is this what he is like?

After a while, the environment around the white-robed man slowly changed, from a desert city to a long, narrow, eerie tunnel. His body didn't move, but it seemed to be moving in the tunnel due to the change in scenery.

Moving out of the tunnel, what appeared in front of Gu Huai was an extremely desolate town, and the town was full of skeletons and starvation.

Smoke was all over the town, shrouding the entire town in a gray patch.

The smoke came from a volcano far away from the town, a tall volcano that was spewing smoke and lava out incessantly.

The white-robed man was still playing with the lotus flower in his hand, and his body had moved to the foot of the volcano.

Gradually, the man put down the lotus flower and looked directly at Gu Huai with his eyes. His eyes were full of pain and despair, and he could see that Gu Huai was in a cold sweat in his sleep.

Coming down again, the white-robed man stretched out his hand, emitting a puff of smoke, and then slowly turned into ashes and disappeared from sight.

What does that mean?

Gu Huai remembered that he seemed to have heard someone say in his ear just now:

"The golden lotus of sand and water is a deceitful thing, and it lasts until it dies......"

That lotus!?

In an instant, the smoke released by the man in the robe floated in front of Gu Huai, and after Gu Huai smelled it, he coughed violently.

Gu Huai, who was sleeping on the bed, coughed violently, which was not an illusory thing.

He was awakened.

When I woke up, I didn't smell anything like that, but I found a beige cloud of smoke in one corner of the room, slowly spreading from the corner of the wall.

"Run!" Gu Huai instinctively felt that this was not a good thing, so he jumped up from the bed without wearing any clothes, abandoned the lotus flower and fell to the ground and didn't care, and directly dragged his bag and ran out of the door.

He had slammed the door almost inside out, and before he left the door, he seemed to smell something strange, even more disgusting than the one in his dreams.

It's very disgusting, as if it will be fatal to smell it for a while!

Crashing right out of the door, he didn't run a few steps before he fell to his knees, gasping for air.

At that time, he seemed to have seen a dark shadow outside the door, fleeing from the side of the outer wall.

Murderer!?

Originally, the poisonous smoke in the house, after smelling a trace, had already made him gasp a little, and now he recalled the lotus, and then the person who released the poison, and felt even more breathless.

"What the fuck," Gu Huai cursed in his heart, "and one after another!"

It seems that there is more than one person, no, more than two or three people are trying to harm him!

"Brother Gu Huai, how are you!?" Feng Qi was late, ran to Gu Huai's side in a few steps, squatted down to check the situation, "I just saw someone sneaky, and I remembered what General Feng did today, so hurry up and come to see you!"

"Lotus!?" Gu Huai suddenly remembered something, pointed to the house and said, "There is still smoke!"

As soon as Gu Huai spoke, he immediately blocked his nose with his sleeve and said:

"Sand Water Mandala Smoke!"

"What is the sand water?" Gu Huai asked, also hearing the word sand water.

"A poisonous smoke," said the wind, "has a strong taste, but it is not strong." It's not expensive, but it's easy to use, and it's going to kill you if you hear it for a long time!"

"What does that have to do with the Shashui Golden Lotus?"

"How do you know about the Sand Water Golden Lotus!?" Feng Qichi asked, a little surprised.

"It was given to me just now by a person who called himself the shopkeeper Huang. Gu Huai said.

"Is it ......" Feng Yuchi described some of the characteristics of the yellow shopkeeper that he knew, causing Gu Huai to nod again and again.

"Is it indeed the shopkeeper of the grocery store in the north of the city?"

Feng Zhichi nodded and said:

"This guy really needs to be careful!"

Then he seemed to remember something, said to Gu Huai, "Wait a minute", and then turned and rushed into Gu Huai's room.

When Gu Huai saw that the wind was too late to rush into the land of poisonous smoke, he was anxious but a little incoherent:

"Wind, big brother wind, smoke! poisonous smoke!"

Unexpectedly, this guard brother was not afraid of poisonous gas, and in a short moment, he went back and forth and asked Gu Huai:

"I haven't seen the Golden Lotus, are you sure you've touched that thing?"

Is he trying to gather some evidence for later use?

Gu Huai exclaimed:

"No, it's impossible! I've just been playing with it!"

"It's hard to get rid of it if you keep playing with it and no one can remind you. "How did you get out of this way?"

"I ....... He wanted to say that he dreamed that someone would save him, but he felt that it was too long to say, and he didn't know where to start, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know ...... either."

"Shashui is a series of treasures," Feng Yuchi frowned, his face showing a rare solemnity, "but it doesn't belong to Shakun City." ”

"Where does that belong?"

Gu Huai asked. He didn't seem to remember what Shopkeeper Huang had said after meeting him.

"Ghost Realm!" said Wind Desire.
