Chapter 9: A bit of a beginning

When I arrived at Cao's house in Qingxi Town, it was already evening.

Cao Xin, the head of the Cao family, learned the news and immediately ordered the mansion to hold a grand dinner.

"Come, I salute the four sons, thank the four sons for saving their brothers" Cao Xin, the head of the Cao family, raised his glass to Gu Chen and the four of them.

Cao Xin's body size is similar to Cao Rong's, but he is just young and old, and he looks like a pot-bellied and rich person.

"The master of the Cao family doesn't have to be polite, it is the duty of our cultivators to draw a sword to help when the road is uneven," Gu Chen raised his glass at the same time and said.

"Yes, yes, let's just deal with those thieves, don't be too polite," Gu Wen continued.

Gu Wu doesn't like to talk much, usually when Gu Wen is there, he basically doesn't speak by himself, and Gu Shisan is even more lazy to pay attention to these things, anyway, what the young master says is what it is.

"Hahaha, the four are really young and promising! I don't know which family can cultivate such an excellent character as the four sons?" Cao Xin asked sideways.

"The four of us are surnamed Gu, this time it is not convenient for me to go out to practice, and I ask the head of the Cao family to forgive me," Gu Chen replied with a smile.

This place is already far away from Qingyuan City, presumably the reputation of the Qingyuan Gu family may not be able to spread to such a small place, and the other party is not a cultivation family, so it doesn't hurt to use a real surname.

"Understand, it turned out to be Gu Gongzi, I don't know if the four of you came to Qingxi Town for something important?" Cao Xin said clearly.

"We're just passing through here, and we'll leave tomorrow," Gu Chen shook his head and said.

"I see! Come to think of it, Qingxi Town is just a small place where birds don't, and the four of them naturally don't look down on it. But I would like to excuse me for a few more words. Cao Xin said to Gu Chen.

"Oh, it's okay, the head of the Cao family has something to say. Gu Chen motioned to Cao Xin and said directly.

"Please be careful when Childe leaves, although the four of Childe have a deep cultivation, but those mountain bandits are not easy to deal with. ”

"I heard Cao Rong say that today's leader is nothing more than their three masters, Liu Hu, who is known as Scar Tiger. This person's cultivation is not outstanding, and he only got into this position because he is the younger brother of the big boss, but his brother is unfathomable. The man's name was Liu Meng, who came here out of nowhere a few years ago, and formed a gang here to occupy the mountains and become kings, making a living by robbing passing caravans. ”

"In the past, I was able to pay the protection fee and be safe, but then I have a growing appetite, and not only do I have to pay the protection fee every year, but I also have to pay the toll every time. Recently, they have done all kinds of evil, they have simply plucked their feathers, and if they resist a little, they will die tragically under their knives. ”

"There were also righteous monks who wanted to get rid of him, but every time he died tragically at the hands of Liu Meng! Some time ago, Liu Meng was finally injured by someone, and the bandits also stopped for a while. Now that they are active again, it must be that Liu Meng's injuries have recovered. ”

"And the second master is also a master, this person has a mysterious origin, never shows up easily, and even his name is never known. only knew that their own people called him a military advisor, and Liu Meng seemed to rely on this person very much. ”

Cao Xin said with a heavy face, it will be difficult for the bandits to be active in their lives.

"What kind of realm is that Liu Meng, it can't be a ground-level powerhouse, right?" Gu Wen asked Cao Xin when he heard this.

"Well, I don't know about that. But I heard that the person who injured Liu Meng was from the Wen family in Black Rock City, and I had heard his entourage call him Fourth Master Wen, I wonder if you have ever heard of this person's name?" Cao Xin said uncertainly.

"Black Rock City, Wen Family?" Gu Chen said in surprise.

"Brother Chen, do you know this Wen family?" Gu Wen asked curiously.

He hadn't heard of the Wen family, but he knew about Black Rock City. Black Rock City is the closest second-level city to Qingyuan City, and the scale is not comparable to a backward third-level city like Qingyuan City.

"Well, I've heard the second elder say it. Black Rock City is the second-level city of our Yunzhou, the Wen family is one of the top families in Black Rock City, I heard that the Wen family still has a Heavenly Rank First Mirror Master in charge. Moreover, the Wen family has always been incompatible with the Shi family in Black Rock City, that is, the Shi family that cooperated with the Huang family. ”

"The person who injured Liu Meng is called Wen Siye, who must be a figure of the same generation as the head of the Wen family, at least he is also a powerhouse in the first realm of the first realm of the earth level, and even the second realm of borrowing the law realm. That thief Liu Meng can leave his life in the hands of this person, presumably at least it is also a level of spiritual realm cultivation," Gu Chen said with a frown. Xindao: It seems that it is indeed a trouble!

"My grandfather? He hasn't told me this, it seems that grandpa is better to you than to our own grandson! Gu Wen said sourly.

"Don't worry, think about it, the scarred tiger also knows that we are not easy to mess with, and we haven't killed us, Liu Meng and they may not be eyeing us. It's just a little strange, this Liu Meng is also a ground-level cultivator, how could he be willing to become a bandit?" Gu Chen said comfortingly.

But Gu Chen always felt that something was wrong in his heart, how could a ground-level cultivator be willing to become a bandit in such a mountainous place? And why did the fourth master of the Wen family in Black Rock City come to this remote place and clash with Liu Meng here?

Black Rock City is two or three hundred miles away from here, Gu Chen and the others were originally going to go to Black Rock City, but they went in the opposite direction when they were at the fork in the dense forest... That's why I came to Qingxi Town.

Liu Meng and the others are all ruthless, and Liu Hu is even more fierce and cruel, like a wolf. He will never be grateful for his son's spare his life, and will definitely encourage Liu Meng to retaliate against his son. Cao Xin said earnestly.

Although these young people are powerful, they are fledgling chicks at first glance, but they don't know people's hearts.

"Is it so serious?Brother Chen, do you want to inform the family elders?" Gu Wen asked Gu Chen carefully.

"No need, Liu Meng and the others had better not come to provoke us again, otherwise they will make him regret it," Gu Chen said confidently.

He has now mastered Dacheng's Canghai Sword Technique. Coupled with the spirit weapon flowing firefly sword, and the blue shadow streamer body method as the hole card, even if Liu Meng is a ground-level spiritual realm, he is not afraid.

"Uh..."Gu Wen was speechless for a moment, and said in his heart: Brother, although you are very strong, you don't think you can fight with the master of the ground level! Although he has seen the scene of Gu Chen fighting Gu Qianjiang in the second realm of the ground level, but it is just dodging, you can hide that people will come to the three of us, we can't avoid it.

"Don't worry, I guarantee your safety, and you will listen to me at the beginning, why don't you trust it. Thirteen, what do you think?" Gu Chen patted Gu Wen's shoulder and said, then turned his head to Gu Thirteen and asked.

"Everything is up to the young master, the young master says okay, then there will be no problem," Gu Shisan said without thinking.

As soon as Gu Shisan saw Gu Chen's confident eyes, he knew that he had his own countermeasures, although he didn't know what hole cards the young master had, Gu Shisan still trusted him unreservedly.

"That's right, then we'll have a good rest later, let's continue to hurry tomorrow" Gu Chen said to Gu Thirteen, Gu Wen, and Gu Wu.

"Young Master, shall we still go south?" Gu Shisan asked Gu Chen.

"No, let's head back north and continue to Blackstone City. Now I'm getting more and more curious about Blackstone. Gu Chen touched his chin and said.

"Since Gu Gongzi has already decided, then the old man won't say more, I have sent someone to clean up the room, and the four sons will have a good rest tonight. Cao Xin saw that Gu Chen and the others had discussed it clearly, and he didn't say anything more.

"Then there will be the head of the Lao Cao family and the second master Cao," Gu Chen said to Cao Xin and Cao Rong.

After the dinner, Gu Chen and the four of them went back to their rooms to rest.
