Chapter 102: Sending off gossip
For Chishui, Wanggui Island is like the largest inn in this barren space.
People come with all their resources and full of hope, so around Mingwu Tower, it is not uncommon to see hurried, busy, and energetic monks, most of whom are passers-by here, and those who are lucky enough to leave in less than a hundred years.
Those who are not lucky are just a few hundred more years.
But there are also some monks, who have come here with the determination to break the cauldron, but the reality is not so rosy, their resources are exhausted, they have to move to the outer islands, and some even need to go out of the island to find resources.
Chishui is now located in the outer island gathering area.
She didn't expect that Elder Gu would choose to live here.
It's just a small courtyard piled up with barren stones, a bit like a small farm yard, but it's too desolate, there are no plants, and there is not even a formation, just a few prohibitions are simply set up, and it looks very cold at a glance.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and while touching the ban, she was also a little puzzled.
The owner of the house was clearly prepared, and soon the ban was lifted.
When she entered the main house, she saw Elder Gu at the top, his complexion ruddy, as if he was several years younger.
When the other party saw Chishui, he didn't get up, but leaned forward slightly, and waved his sleeves to signal Chishui to sit down under him.
Chishui moved lightly and sat down.
Gu Qi took the lead and said: "This retreat has really benefited a lot, and I feel that the time for a breakthrough is getting closer and closer. β
Chi Shui had no surprise, just smiled lightly: "Congratulations!" β
The two were already very familiar, so there was no politeness from Xie to thank him, Gu Qi directly entered the topic, "Why did I invite you to come?" β
"Why?" To be honest, she was a little curious, otherwise she wouldn't have come here.
Gu Qi said slowly: "A certain person has vaguely touched that barrier, and his state of mind is a little more open-minded than before under your explanation, plus his birthday is coming to an end, and there is always a sharp sword hanging above his head, so he decided to enter the Mirror Heart Tower in advance." β
Chishui nodded and looked at him.
Gu Qi said seriously: "So our previous transaction is now over." β
Chishui's eyes widened slightly, and then turned into a smile, and said, "It's been less than a year, and I'm afraid there will be no such a good deal in the world." β
Gu Qi also smiled, and stroked his beard, his figure was slightly fatter than before, and he sat upright a bit like Maitreya Buddha, and said straightly: "It's worth it, it's not a loss!" β
Chi Shui asked with a smile: "When is the elder going to enter the Mirror Heart Tower, and I can give you a ride?" β
Gu Qi said, "No, I plan to go in later." β
Chishui was a little surprised.
After all, the state of mind is very mysterious, no matter what decision is made, it is too strange, she knows that the other party called her, there should be something else.
Sure enough, Gu Qi didn't continue to explain, but said: "The reason why I invited you to come is because I got a message before, and recently another team is going to Liushi Stream, so I want to ask if you want to go?" β
Chishui naturally knew about the Flowstone Stream, which was the only rocky flow vortex in the Yin Wind Valley where resources could be obtained in bulk.
It's just, "It's not a question of whether I want to go or not, right?" Don't they mind? β
What do you mind? Naturally, it was her cultivation.
Gu Qi shook his head and said: "This time the team is a friend of mine, if you want to go, I can recommend you." β
Chishui didn't answer for a while.
She's still thinking about it.
Things are not so simple, Liushi Stream is a place that needs closer cooperation, and her low cultivation is the biggest weakness in itself, even if it is accepted by the captain because of the relationship between the other party, it does not mean that the other team members will accept her, but it will be prejudiced and hostile.
Because it means she's robbing them of their resources.
And the Flowing Stone Stream is not far from Wanggui Island, even if she wants to change other people's opinions, she doesn't have time.
As you can imagine, the harsh environment, the bad interpersonal relationships, it is simply difficult to move forward.
However, there was one thing that made her hesitate, although she is not lacking in resources now, she lacks experience.
Wanggui Island is too barren.
Even many of the people they had come to Wanggui Island sympathized with her, because for her, it was like a cage that trapped her, and it was very unfavorable to her state of mind.
They weren't even optimistic about her, thinking that it would be very difficult for her to improve her cultivation in this area.
Therefore, naturally estranged from her.
A few days ago, she met a man who took a detour when he saw her from afar, as if he was afraid that she would ask for money.
Not holding your breath is fake.
But if you go to a dangerous place because you are depressed, it is not worth it.
Therefore, she is now in a slightly complicated mood, a little excited, but not so excited.
On the one hand, I feel that this is an opportunity, after all, this relationship is not something that exists; Don't think it's too risky and too risky!
Gu Qi saw that her face was cloudy for a while and sunny for a while, and he didn't make a sound to disturb.
After a long time, after repeated consideration, Chi Shui replied: "Thank you for the kindness of the elder, I won't go, so as not to cause trouble to your friends." β
Gu Qi didn't persuade, but just asked: "It's decided?" β
Chishui said calmly: "It's decided." β
This is the first time she has rejected the other party's kindness, although cultivation is a boat against the current, and she must move forward. But she knows in her heart that the greatest possibility of making it easy is not to become a lucky person, but to become a penniless cannon fodder.
She knows too well the urine nature of the world.
Everything in this world is piled up by fate, like a big wave sweeping sand, only a very few lucky people can swim against the current, and the vast majority of ordinary cultivators can only be cautious and cautious, for fear that if they make a mistake, they will never recover......
Gu Qi's head means that the matter is over.
Chi Shui thought for a while, reached out and took out a shadow talisman from his hand and handed it over, saying: "I took advantage of the previous transaction, this elder is going to the Mirror Heart Tower, even if this shadow talisman is a congratulatory gift from me in advance, I wish the elder a success, the road is successful, and it will go to the next level!" β
Gu Qi took it in surprise, and did not open it directly, but carefully put it away, and said with a slight smile: "You have a heart!" β
After the words fell, he withdrew from the small courtyard, stopped Chishui from sending each other, and fled in the direction of the Mirror Heart Tower.
Although Chi Shui did not see her off, she was also in this direction when she returned to the cave mansion, so she could clearly see that her figure had disappeared into the Mirror Heart Tower.
She suddenly felt a little emotion in her heart.
Don't look at the elderly's gentle and humble attitude, and his old appearance, so you underestimate him.
Ginger is still old and spicy.
He has now entered the Mirror Heart Tower, which means that he, like Senior Sister Mingdi, successfully snatched a Ming Wu Thunder when the Ming Wu Pagoda was first opened ten years ago, do you know what this means?
This means that his own mental strength is also one in a hundred in the Yin Wind Valley.
So as the old saying goes, don't give someone a judgment lightly.
Especially in the current environment, all of them are old people who have lived for thousands of years, and who can live until now?
She laughed to herself, and suddenly saw a familiar figure in the distance, but it was coming towards her.
Isn't this Zhongli Hongyi, who has always taken good care of her?
"You're out?"
Because of his previous experience in the space ball lock, Zhongli Hongyi announced his retreat as soon as he arrived on Wanggui Island, so he never saw anyone.
Looking at it again at this time, I feel that his eyes are clear, and he obviously has made some gains, and he can't help but be happy for the other party.
Zhongli Hongyi nodded and said directly: "I'm looking for you." β
"Then come in and talk about it!" Chishui opened the prohibition of the cave mansion, entered, and sighed in his heart, her cave mansion was not patronized before, even Wuxing Peak was very desolate, and I feel that her popularity has changed for the better here.
"Looking for me?" Chishui took out the spiritual tea for the reception, saw the chessboard in the hand, and said, "Do you want to play the next game of chess?" β
"Good!" Zhongli Hongyi didn't seem to be in a hurry, and took a sip of spiritual tea first.
Chi Shui placed the chessboard between the two of them, and after dividing the black and white, the chess game began.
Compared with the ferocity of the Xingguan chess game, they are now playing more gently, and they are mainly based on layout in the early stage.
Zhongli Hongyi then took the time to ask, "It is said that you rejected Jiu Shao's invitation?" β
Chi Shui held the chess piece in his hand for a slight pause, a little helpless, his eyes swept over the chess surface, and the pawn fell, before replying: "You also know this?" β
So it's not unreasonable for her to want to avoid Jiu Shao, who can stand such attention?
They may be used to it, but she is not!
Zhongli Hongyi's eyes swept over her before he said, "Your attitude is really strange! β
ββ¦β¦οΌβ Chi Shui was stunned: "What do you mean?" β
Zhongli Hongyi's eyes suddenly became very strange, and said, "Many people are spreading that you have good means, and you want to get away with it!" β
"Huh?" Chishui almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, what hatred and what resentment? "Am I still in the name of the fiancΓ©e of the young lord of Qilian? Have they all forgotten? β
Zhongli Hongyi looked at her with a little sympathy, "But that doesn't prevent you from looking for Jiu Shao to cling to?" Pray that even the young master can't come in now, and you lack everything now. β
@#&*
Chishui took a deep breath, looked at him and asked, "Are you serious?" β
Zhongli Hongyi replied to her with an expression that looked like I was joking.
Chi Shui felt that the whole person was not good, and said incredulously: "If I want to cling to Jiu Shao, how can I refuse?" β
As soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned, did the other party say that he wanted to catch it?
"Ahem, cough, coughβ" Chi Shui was choked and pounded in the chest, and it was easy to ease up, and he said resignedly: "Say it!" What do you want me to do? β
She doesn't understand, it's all antiques, why can't she get rid of low-level fun, and she loves gossip so much?
Zhongli Hongyi waved his hand and said, "Don't rely on me, I just heard someone whispering in private, I'll squeak you." β
Of course, Chi Shui believed that the other party was not this kind of person, and it was obvious that she couldn't hear these things, but what could she do? Do you still want to pull Zhongli Hongyi to confront people?
She's not that naΓ―ve!
But if it is left unchecked, who knows what will become of it?
"Then I thank you!" The expression on Chi Shui's face didn't look like she wanted to thank her at all, but as if someone else owed her 30,000 spirit stones, "Then do you have any good ideas?" Shut up those parrots! β
Zhongli Hongyi had a helpless expression, and Chi Shui glared at each other.
Chishui?
Is it okay to hit someone?
