The name of the exercise will not be mentioned for the time being.

After three years of penance in martial arts, three years of studying the bones of the bloodline of Wu, and four years in the deserted mountains and dense forests, Gu Dan finally integrated a set of his most satisfactory qi and blood operation, and even the method of fighting with others.

This is definitely the most suitable exercise in the world for his own strength, and it is more than one step ahead of the top-grade martial arts, and it is truly tailor-made.

If an ordinary Grandmaster wanted to create a high-grade martial art, the time required would probably not be less than ten years.

It's just that Gu Dan's strength has already been promoted to the Great Grandmaster, and he is well-read, and under the commanding height, the time required is still a little less.

At this time, the immortals returned, and Gu Dan asked himself to have enough self-preservation.

Unless you are unlucky enough to directly bump into the existence of Jindan and Yuanying, you should have no worries about your life!

According to Qing Pingzi's cognition of the immortal realm, the existence of Jin Dan and Yuan Ying level in the immortal path is by no means something that can be met casually.

If the immortal path is also regarded as mortal dust as a metaphor, the existence of that level, the status can probably be converted to the martial arts master in mortal dust, most people just hear about it, and they have no chance to see it at all.

As for the upper echelons?

That's no different from the legend.

Don't look at the grandmaster's amiable and excellent speech in front of Gu Dan, try to change to an ordinary martial artist?

Gu Dan asked himself that his luck had not been unlucky to that extent, and it was enough to guard against capsizing in the gutter.

"The exercises are almost finished, it's time to go back."

Gu Dan got up from the ground.

After four years of silent practice in the wilderness, he is still clean, his body is clean, his face is white, and his whole body is flawless. Even the clothes are dazzling in the moonlight, and they look like red dust immortals, not stained with dust.

With the steady improvement of strength, many troubles in the mortal dust seem to gradually disappear invisibly unconsciously.

"It's time to go back and take a look, it's been almost a decade."

There is no time in the mountains, and the cold does not know the year.

Gu Dan is also a little emotional.

Ten years have passed, I don't know what has changed in mortal dust now?

Xia Dynasty, Yuzhou.

It is now the twentieth year of the Xia Dynasty.

It has been a full twenty years since the source river burst!

The baby born at that time may have become the father of the child at this time, and it is already a generation.

Gu Dan did not go back to his small courtyard directly, but came to Yuzhou first.

After the original source river burst, the flood overflowed and the sediment fell, and the damage caused was unimaginable.

Fortunately, the war ended soon, and the damage caused by the flood was not long in coming, so people were immediately mobilized to rescue them.

Now, 20 years later, but the disaster caused by the original man-made disaster has not been completely eliminated, and 20 years have been revisiting the old place, taking care of the visible discovery of changes in the landscape.

In addition, the bigger impact is that a lot of fertile land is no longer cultivable, resulting in large areas of arable land being vacant.

These things can only wait a longer time for their effects to slowly subside.

And the rest of the changes are finally able to make people happy.

There are a lot of pedestrians on the street, and this is just an ordinary small village and town, but there are still many pedestrians along the way, and sometimes mixed with business trips.

Gu Dan's eyes swept over, and he couldn't see anyone with dishes on his face.

I couldn't help but feel a little relieved in my heart.

The Xia Dynasty never gave up on Yuzhou, even if it encountered a terrible man-made disaster, after Wang Mang took the throne, he continued to send people to send food and materials, and he must be rescued.

When Xun Ke grew up, he was thrown to Yuzhou as a political envoy, which could show his determination.

Disasters are merciless, but people are merciful.

The reconstruction after the disaster was also done well.

Gu Dan was dressed in a green shirt, and he used the disguise technique to change his face, covering his overly prominent appearance, walking in the bustling flow of people, and getting into it.

After observing silently for a while, I saw an old man walking towards the village with a shovel humming a song, looking complacent.

"Husband."

Gu Dan stepped forward three steps and made two steps, and asked, "Dare to ask if this is Akino Village, right?" ”

The old man looked at Gu Dan for a moment, and saw that although his appearance was ordinary, he had an aura that ordinary people could not match, so he immediately stopped and said, "Qiuno Village? That was the name of a few decades ago! Now we call it Ping'an Town. ”

"Ping'an Town?"

"Yes!"

The old man nodded, put the shovel directly on the ground, and half of the people leaned on it, and came to talk, "Just a few decades ago, there was a lot of water!" Many people have been swept away, and the people in the eight villages are gone, so what's the use of having so many villages? As soon as the officials are combined, this is not a problem, there are only a few people in a village, and there is no way to get it, so I rearranged it for us. ”

Listening to the other party's rather thick native accent, Gu Dan nodded lightly and said, "I see." ”

It is also common for folk villages to change their names, but most of them have reasons, and it is not difficult to understand.

"I don't think you're an ordinary person, but you've come back from being developed outside?"

The old man looked at Gu Dan familiarly, although Gu Dan's disguise technique was excellent, and it was impossible for the other party to find that his face was flawed, but his skin was white, and he was naturally distinguished from the farmer who faced the loess with his back to the sky, and at a glance he knew that he was definitely not a farmer.

"It's pretty much the same."

Gu Dan thought about it, nodded and said with a smile.

"Let's go, let's go to my house to rest for a while, if you want to find someone, I'm afraid it's not easy to find."

The old man said quite familiarly.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

It's all about taking care of yourself.

"Don't drag the text, don't drag the text, talk well, I haven't read anything when you say this, I don't understand."

The old man waved his hand again and again.

"Haha."

Gu Dan laughed, "I'm sorry for you." ”

has been with familiar people for a long time, probably the so-called exchanges without white ding, and unconsciously contaminated with some habits.

Following the footsteps of the old man, he came to a house that looked quite solid, only to hear the old man shouting in a loud voice: "Old woman, here's a visitor, eat white noodles on the hour!" ”

"Huh."

The woman walked out of the house, glanced at Gu Dan, and didn't ask much, just one word, "Medium." ”

The old man casually put the shovel under the eaves, walked to a water tank in the courtyard, opened the lid, and took out a watermelon from the water town.

"Hey, that's so polite."

Gu Dan was also moved by this enthusiasm and hurriedly said.

"What are you saying to me? Since you came to find my village, maybe our two families were still the same generation decades ago. ”

The old man cut the watermelon with a knife, and found two small maza, "Come and eat." ”

Seeing this, Gu Dan was no longer polite, and took the red melon pulp from his hand, and the juice overflowed in one bite, with a hint of coolness in the sweetness, which made people feel comfortable in the summer.

After being busy in the field for a long time, the sweaty old man was even a piece of melon in three or two bites, and wiped the remaining watermelon water from his mouth with his hands at will, and said with emotion: "This day is different, where did I eat this good thing decades ago!" ”

"Oh? Where did this thing come from? ”

Gu Dan also asked with some curiosity.

"Caravans, miles from abroad."

Of course, the old man can't remember clearly, but when he mentioned the caravan, he immediately sighed: "It's been a good year, and I don't want to do farm work, and I want to follow the merchant all day long." Don't say it, you really got some good things, these watermelons are all from outside, and there are other messy things, but they are expensive, and they can't buy them. This thing is cheap and delicious, and you can grow it yourself, so it's a good thing! ”

Of course, this world is not only a Xia Dynasty, but also more than Daqi, Dayong, Daqing, Dayue and other countries.

In fact, no one has yet given a precise number of how big this world is.

But for the vast majority of these people who may not even be able to leave the homeland where they were born a few times in their lifetime, those existences are all things far away, and they don't even need to remember their names, as long as they are not from their own country, they are all called foreign or foreign.

And with the prosperity of the Xia Dynasty, of course, it was not only to trade with the four countries, but more courageous people had begun to run to farther countries, bringing things that they did not have.

The strength of a country is bound to be multifaceted, and it is faintly visible at a glance.

There is a big difference between the Xia Dynasty and the Great Moon, and it is by no means a change of name or a change of royal family.

"Life has changed for the better?"

Gu Dan asked.

"It's a lot better!"

The old man nodded again and again, stared at Gu Dan's face, and said, "Look at you like this, you are not that old, right?" I'm going to be fifty soon! Decades ago, who would have thought that you would be able to live like this? ”

As he spoke, he sighed.

And Gu Dan's expression was also a little inexplicable and looked at the old man's cheeks.

Approaching the age of fifty. But he is already full of old age and wrinkles, but fortunately, his body is still somewhat healthy and he can still work in the field.

And Gu Dan's real age has already exceeded fifty years old, which is even more "old" than the 'old man' in front of him.

"It's a good time!"

The old man patted his legs, foaming at the stars, "I couldn't even eat a decent meal at that time, let alone rice, the wild vegetables were all shaved clean, and the bark was stripped off!" Where to keep up with now, you can still eat white noodles in three days, and you can taste what meat tastes like in a month! ”

is clearly talking about not good memories, but the old man's face is full of happiness and pride, as if he is talking about something great.

For the changes in the mortal dust, Gu Dan may not have much understanding.

Because he himself is out of that level.

Or maybe he was lucky that he didn't suffer too much from beginning to end.

But as long as you go to the people, you will always see it.

Unlike staying in the small courtyard before, even if you don't go out, all kinds of man-made disasters will break into your eyes, and life in the mortal world is indeed getting better.

Even if this kind of improvement is far from enough for the care of those who have seen the real prosperity of the world, for these ordinary people who have become accustomed to suffering and calamity, the world in front of them is beyond their desire.

"Are you happy?"

Gu Dan asked a rather classic question.

"Happiness? If you can eat and drink, you will be happy. ”

The old man was also refreshed, "Hou Wazi, you haven't said who you came to find yet." That is, you met me, this Ping'an Town, there were people from ten miles and eight villages, and there were people who moved from other places, and it was not good to ask others. ”

"I'm looking for an old woman, of course she's gone."

Gu Dan thought for a while and said, "She is called Aunt Cheng, her husband is called Dingcheng, and her child is called Sheng'er. When the White Lotus taught cholera in Yuzhou, a large family of them ran to the mountain, except for her, they were all poisoned by mushroom soup, only she was not willing to drink the soup, but survived.

Later, when the flood was lost, I remembered it, so I came back to take a look. ”

In order to make it clear, Gu Dan explained the cause and effect very clearly.

What happened to Aunt Cheng is a bit unique even in the world where there has been suffering, and if you use this clue to find it, you should always be able to find it.

However, at this time, it has been 20 years, and even if Aunt Cheng lives peacefully, she is probably dead at this time.

Gu Dan came here to explain the past and give himself an explanation.

The tragedies I have witnessed have an end.

He sincerely hopes that even those who have not experienced the current peaceful and prosperous world can feel the dawn of it.

"Aunt Cheng?!"

Sure enough, after Gu Dan said in such detail, the old man raised his eyebrows, and his voice was raised by seven or eight degrees.

Obviously, he must have known this man.

"That's right."

Gu Dan nodded again and again, and asked a little cautiously, "What happened to her?" ”

The old man put the melon down, his eyebrows and eyes drooped, but he said plainly: "It's dead." ”

“.”

Gu Dan didn't speak.

Twenty years have passed, with Aunt Cheng's age, even if he lives peacefully, it is difficult to live until now, he naturally can't hope to see the real person, just looking at the expression of the old man, I'm afraid this is not a gratifying thing.

"During the flood, many of us ran to the mountains, and Aunt Cheng was there. The flood is flooding, Aunt Cheng has to go down the mountain and go home, so can she still live? It took several people to stop her, and she also grabbed and bitten people, and finally had to tie her to a tree. ”

The old man lowered his face, his voice gradually became a little low, and the not good memories came to his heart, "Later, the water finally receded, and the village was buried by mud and sand, and I can't go back." Fortunately, soldiers came to build houses, build roads, and distribute food. Aunt Cheng went crazy again and threw stones at those soldiers

That is, it was her own people who were in charge at that time, and they sent someone to watch her and give her food to eat. The next day, when no one was watching, Aunt Cheng jumped into the river by herself. ”

Plain and ordinary.

A mad peasant woman, even death.

Gu Dan didn't speak again for a long time.

The old man also lost interest in talking, and scolded, "Fight in dog days!" ”

Fortunately, the atmosphere didn't last long.

"Let's eat!"

In the kitchen, the old woman shouted angrily and pulled the two back.

"Let's go, eat, the good days are ahead!"

The old man patted Gu Dan's shoulder, but he was comforting Gu Dan.
