In the evening, on a lively and prosperous street in Bai'an City, someone released the news that there were thieves in the Gu family's mansion in broad daylight, and a hidden underground vault was looted.

One time, one to ten, ten to hundred, hundreds to thousands...... It almost made Bai'an City a household name, and there was a lot of discussion.

"I don't know which Jiangyang thief was so bold as to steal into the Gu family's vault, and it was in broad daylight."

"Yes, this Gu family's mansion is the old mansion of Gu Jinxin Gu, who is in charge of many restaurants and restaurants under the Bai family!"

"He is one of the most proud subordinates of the Bai Shi Commercial Bank, and the Bai Shi Commercial Bank is a huge force, with many businesses such as shops, mining farms, manufacturing, and transportation, which not only cover the entire Chuzhou country, but also go out to other countries and develop majestically."

"It is rumored that there are several powerful immortals behind this Bai Clan Trading House, and I don't know if what that person said is true."

"Do you need to talk about that? That must be true! ”

"Don't you know that Gu Jin Xinzu was taken by an immortal a long time ago, and brought him back to his immortal gate to teach him and start practicing the immortal law."

"It is said that someone witnessed this person's true body walking into the Gu family's mansion half a year ago."

"In that case, this Gu Jinxin can be so prosperous in the Bai Firm, and there is also the credit of that person?"

"Maybe it's half, after all, this Gu Jinxin is still organized in terms of managing restaurants and restaurants."

“……”

Fulai Restaurant, Gu Jinxin, who was talked about by others, has not received the news of the theft of his old mansion.

At this time, he was holding an abacus in his hand and was ready to carefully calculate and sort out the day's entry and exit bills of the restaurant as usual.

But before he could get to the counter, he saw a familiar housekeeper running in from the entrance of the restaurant in a panic.

And, after Jia Ding gasped for a few breaths, he told him about the theft of the Gu family's mansion one by one.

"What!"

Gu Jinxin exclaimed, and in a blink of an eye, he was like dementia, holding the abacus in his hand with a "snap" sound, and was torn apart.

About thirty or so beads bounced on the floor in an instant, and it took a while to roll a few times not far away before they stopped on the floor.

When the family saw that his master was stunned, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and shake it in front of Gu Jinxin, trying to wake him up.

However, he was scolded by Gu Jinxin in a series of coherent scoldings the next moment, and his face was slapped heavily.

After a while, he touched his hot side face, didn't even dare to come out, and cautiously followed Gu Jinxin out of the door of the store......

On the second floor of the Fulai Hotel, Mu Yuan, who had a full view of the scene of Gu Jinxin and his family, sat in front of a dining table next to the guardrail, holding a small jar of wine and drinking it one by one.

And Yan Xiaotian, who was sitting opposite him, had an elegant demeanor, and the chopsticks that were holding some dishes went up and down, slowly sending a small piece of vegetable meat into the slightly warped cherry mouth.

The elegance of the one made several tables of diners in the neighborhood mistakenly think that this was a lady with elegant manners.

It's just that whenever Yan Xiaotian opened his mouth to speak, he repeatedly made them feel lost, and everyone continued to drink wine in big bowls.

"Early tomorrow morning, the master will go south with the big ship of the Bai Firm, don't you really go together?"

Yan Xiaotian put down his chopsticks, picked up a small wine jug, and after pouring a small glass of wine, he looked up and asked Mu Yuan.

Hearing Yan Xiaotian's later words, the wine jar in Mu Yuan's hand was just about to approach his lips, he hesitated for a moment, and then took a big sip of mellow wine before decisively spit out two words: Don't go!

"The twisted melon is not sweet, well, it's up to you."

Yan Xiaotian was puzzled by Mu Yuan's proposal to refuse to go south with him several times, after all, the two of them went to those places, obviously on the same road.

However, out of concern, Yan Xiaotian still told Mu Yuan about some dangers that might arise on the way south......

Not long after, Mu Yuan went to the first-class room on the third floor of this hotel that had been booked before, and was ready to rest.

Yan Xiaotian went out of the store, saying that he wanted to take care of the boat going south early tomorrow morning.

Late at night, in a room with quite beautiful and elegant decorations, Mu Yuan looked serene, meditating cross-legged on the bed, he hadn't practiced the mental method for several days.

At the same time, a trace of transparent ripples that were difficult to see with the naked eye appeared in the sky above those places near this restaurant, and they were slowly converging towards Mu Yuan's guest room.

Suddenly, a figure shook outside the window not far in front of Mu Yuan, and then I saw a small hole in the window paper, revealing a dripping eye.

"I didn't expect you to be such a fool and be so fast in such a place where you are about to lose your big teeth due to lack of aura...... But why is it that at this age, his cultivation is barely at the furnace stage? ”

The voice was faint, but it was pleasant, and the man muttered to himself, and then disappeared in a flutter.

Before I knew it, another two hours had passed, and Mu Yuan slowly woke up in his cultivation and meditation.

With a faint smile on his face, he opened his eyes, and the light flashed in that moment, and the fatigue of these days was swept away at this moment.

Even though his cultivation is still in the furnace stage, there is still a long time before the stage of "gathering gas into the furnace".

But now, the furnace in Mu Yuan's body is more condensed than before, and it is not as empty as before.

You must know that if a monk can condense the furnace in his body that is condensed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to the point that it is like a furnace of entities, then he will have to cultivate for at least two or three years, and some will even take longer.

And Mu Yuan has only been more than half a month, and he has already condensed one-third of the furnace tripod in his body, which can be regarded as a god speed.

However, although Mu Yuan was now very eager to have a strong cultivation, he was not in a hurry to achieve it.

Because he knows that this path of cultivation is still very long, and there is still a way to go...... It's still far away.

He also knows that being too eager will only backfire.

……

Mu Yuan took out two similar animal skins from the storage ring, and looked at them for a long time without seeing a clue.

The two skins were about a foot in size, and their edges were not of the same shape, as if they had been bitten by some creature with its mouth.

Moreover, Mu Yuan saw that it was so antique and simple, and it could be passed on to his current hands, so it must have a long history.

There is a piece of animal skin here, which caused the death of dozens of people of Mu Yuan's master, Chang'an's family, old and young, under the blades of the demon master and apprentice. Moreover, Chang An finally died indirectly in the hands of the three monsters of the Feng clan because of it.

As for the other piece of animal skin, Mu Yuan inadvertently obtained it by sneaking into the vault of the Gu family's old mansion with Yan Xiaotian in broad daylight today.

"The master said that I must keep this animal skin, it is related to the future safety of the entire Shenzhou Continent, but why did he let me keep it? Is it really just because it's not a mortal thing that can destroy the cause? ”

Thinking of what Chang An said, Mu Yuan was very puzzled.

Then he picked up the two skins at the same time, approached a candlelight beside the bed, and compared them with each other, always feeling that the two skins were from the same place.

So he laid the two skins on the bed, and laid them out one by one, and began to move from side to side, picking them up, and turning them over again, and putting them together for a long time.

Finally, with the eighteenth patchwork, the outlines of the edges of the two hides were completely improvised.

"It seems that these two skins should come from a large animal skin, which means that in addition to these two animal skins, there are other similar animal skins."

Mu Yuan was a little surprised, but other than that, he didn't find anything useful on these two animal skins.

After continuing to explore for a while, there was still no progress, so Mu Yuan simply stored the animal skin, and then took out a letter in the storage ring.

In the middle of the letter stood four words: Lu Yunqing.

Lu Yunqing is Chang An's senior brother who entered the Kunyang Sword Sect together when he was seventeen years old, and he is also a worshipper who is blessed and shares hardships and hardships, and has vowed to live and die together.

That is, Mu Yuan's uncle who has never met. And when he left the Wanli Mountain Range this time, he went to seek refuge in him, to be precise, Chang An asked him to go to the Kunyang Sword Sect to worship and practice.

Mu Yuan stared at the letter, but his eyes were in a trance, he thought about it for a long time, and finally gave up the idea of opening it to see what was going on.

……

The next morning, Yan Xiaotian came to Mu Yuan's guest room and shouted noisily, saying to Mu Yuan that it was rare for the two of us to get acquainted, and we would come to see them off.

Mu Yuan, who had just finished washing, suddenly stopped with the hands that wanted to hang up the towel, and turned his neck stiffly towards Yan Xiaotian little by little, his eyes were cold.

After a while, a figure flashed at the door of Mu Yuan's guest room, followed by a large plate of face wash with a towel splashed out.

Can his grandmother speak well? still claims to be the master in front of others, Lao Tzu really doesn't want to be a grandson!

In the end, I don't know what kind of way Yan Xiaotian used to curry favor with Mu Yuan, all in all, the two of them have now come to a big dock five miles away from Bai'an City.

"Alright, that's it, leave it at that!" When Mu Yuan said this, he wanted to turn around and leave.

"Hey! Can't you just watch people get on the boat and leave? ”
