185. Make a deal

Hongshui Town is a town with nearly 1,000 households, which can be regarded as a large town, and even some small towns may not have 1,000 households.

Wang Xizhou now sees the city with the least number of people, and the number is no more than thirty.

The reason is simple.

The war is noisy, the mountains and rivers are broken, the country will not be a country, and the family will be ruined.

Although Hongshui Town is not as prosperous as the city, it is also full of people, even in the afternoon, the market is still full of people, and there are all kinds of small stalls and shops scattered on both sides of the road, which is very lively.

Bai Gu and the others quickly found an inn and arranged to stay in.

It's only afternoon, but it's not early, so hurry up and go to bed!

Sleepy!

"Bastard, Jiuzigou is so easy to be taken away by that group of guys, what are you doing to eat? A bunch of rubbish! ”

A man with black hair but white temples had a furious face, and the teacup in his hand slammed into a young slave kneeling in front of him.

"Xiao Jin, why are you so angry? are all people who are the masters of the mountain, don't lose your temper in front of your subordinates. An old voice sounded, and an old man in an ink robe slowly walked out from behind the screen, and a tiger-headed wooden staff in his hand slammed to the ground with the old man's footsteps, making rhythmic sounds.

The old man in the ink robe glanced down at the slave who had passed out on the ground, and beckoned for someone to carry him down, so as not to stay here as an eyesore.

The man took several deep breaths, and then calmed his agitated heart a little, and saluted the old man: "I've seen the ancestor." ”

The old man in the ink robe nodded, then stretched out his hand and shook it.

The man let go of the battle report he was holding in his hand, straightened it up, and handed it to the old man in the ink robe.

The old man in the ink robe glanced at it twice, and then put the battle report on the table, "A few lost dogs in the past few years, now they can also turn over some waves, it seems that our mountain, water and soil and food are good, quite supportive." ”

The man hated the names in the battle report so much that he wished he could catch them in front of him now, eat their flesh, dismantle their bones, and drink their blood, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.

The old man in the ink robe smiled, "It's just a few lost dogs, there's no need to keep it in mind, what if they let them jump for a few more days?" Just watch one more good show. You are the owner of the mountain, representing the image of our entire mountain, how can you still act impulsively and frizzy like before? What you should be thinking about now is the matter over there in the South China Sea, the once-in-a-century trial must be said to be important, do you want to choose who to choose? ”

The man took out a list written on parchment, "Please take a look at it." ”

The old man in the ink robe didn't reach out to pick up the list, but just smiled: "Now you are the master of the mountain, and you can decide the big and small matters in the mountain." ”

The man offered it with both hands again, "With the ancestor to review it, Jin Hang can be more sure in his heart." ”

The old man in the ink robe took the list helplessly, glanced at it casually, and then his gaze stayed on a certain name, "This little guy, how did you get in?" ”

"Although this little guy is a spirit, he was born in human form, wearing three flowers on his head, and he wants to be extraordinary. The gold suspense is a small gamble and bets on it. ”

The old man in the ink robe nodded, "Then this little guy, what kind of cultivation is he doing now?" ”

"I haven't practiced yet."

"Huh?" The old man in the ink robe was a little puzzled.

The man explained: "Over the years, the people in the mountains have tried their best to use all the resources they can use to nourish their roots and regulate their meridians. It's just that these efforts are like mud cows entering the sea, and their efforts are in vain. Therefore, if this trial can open up a path of cultivation, I think it can add another seed to the mountain and make the mountain gate go further. If it still doesn't work, it's not a loss. ”

After all, in the past thousand years, how many sect Tianjiao who have been sent to the South China Sea for trials by the mountain can really be rewarded?

You can count them on one hand, right?

But also, these days Tianjiao has been pampered in the mountains of Zongmen for a long time, so naturally he can't accept the harsh environment of the South China Sea, and many of them have done it...... The deserter ran back to the mountain overnight, and even went straight away. Or incognito, living in seclusion in the mountains, or changing their faces, setting up another portal, or their whereabouts are unknown, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead.

The reputation of his own mountain is not good, this is the source.

One.

Betting on this monster is also a helpless move.

If the bet is right, it will be able to reverse the current internal and external troubles of the sect in one fell swoop. If the bet is wrong, it is to add a mixed dish in the teahouse tavern to the idlers, and talk about it.

The mountain is now famous, and it doesn't matter about this.

The old man in the ink robe obviously knew the meaning of the man's words, and sighed softly, "It's okay, let it go, such a mess, just don't let it fall apart." ”

The man was silent for a moment, "I'll do my best." ”

"The problems are all left over from the predecessors, and they can't be solved in a day, so even if you really mess up one day, don't blame yourself too much, it's not your fault."

The man bowed his head and said, "Follow the teachings of the ancestors." ”

The old man in the ink robe glanced at the man in front of him, even though he was already hundreds of years old, but he still liked to drill the tip of the horns, and he was as stubborn as when he was young, in order to meet his legendary senior brother, he could stay in someone else's residence for a few months, and after a hurried meeting, he left in a hurry.

In terms of perseverance and patience, no one among his peers in the mountains can compare with him.

But it seems, a little too much.

Sometimes it's not a good thing to get too far into it.

I'm going to suffocate myself.

The old man in the ink robe wanted to speak again and again, and finally put away the sentence in his heart, turned around and left.

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, no matter the blessings and misfortunes, the younger generations have their own experiences, and they are an old guy who has half a foot into the loess, so don't mix blindly.

Let them be.

As long as the mountain gate is not extinguished, it is easy to say anything.

The moonlight is shining brightly, sprinkling every inch of the world.

Tonight is a rare cloudless, and countless stars in the night sky are flashing one after another, like a large plate of worthless broken diamonds.

Bai Gu sat on the roof, not looking at the bright moon, only the reflection of the stars in his eyes.

The wind was very strong and cold at night, and Bai Gu silently tightened the cotton clothes on his body, but his eyes were still looking at the night sky in the distance.

"Hey, Xiaobai, why don't you sleep in the middle of the night and come here to blow the wind? Homesick? Hua Xie's voice suddenly sounded beside Bai Gu.

Bai Gu blinked, then turned his head to look at Hua Xie, who was already sitting beside him, "Brother Hua, didn't you sleep either?" ”

The corners of Hua Xie's mouth twitched, "It's boring, it can't scare you." ”

"I said I just heard your footsteps and breathing, do you believe it?"

Hua Xie looked at Bai Gu with a calm face, and smiled, "I don't believe it." ”

Bai Gu smiled, "Coincidentally, I don't believe it myself." ”

Hua Xie stagnated, "I didn't expect Xiaobai to like joking so much." ”

"It's okay, I'm usually the kind of person who talks a lot." Bai Gu looked at the starry night sky again, "I slept too early in the afternoon, and now I can't sleep, so I can only run up and blow the wind." ”

"Coincidentally, so do I." Hua Xie snorted, but suddenly he didn't know what to say, so he could only sit aside and rub his hands all the time.

Bai Gu knew what Hua Xie was thinking, "Brother Hua wants to ask Wu Lao about it?" ”

was suddenly broken, Hua Xie couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, "It's true, it's true." ”

"Didn't I say it all? As far as I have had a few transactions with Wu Lao and chatted a few times, it is also possible that I and Wu Lao have eye contact with each other, so I can say a few words. ”

Hua Xie's eyes rolled, "So you told Elder Wu about Lianfeng?" ”

Bai Gu glanced back at Hua Xie.

Except for Bai Xiaoxiao and He Yan, he didn't mention this matter to anyone, including Wang Xizhou, Lian Feng, and Guan Dahu.

As for the other two, they don't seem to be the ones who can talk about it.

Although Bai Xiaoxiao does not reject Wang Xizhou, he is not very familiar with him, and he usually talks no more than five sentences, how can he talk to Wang Xizhou about this?

What's more, it's a completely unripe flower evil, and it's even more impossible.

He Yan is a smart person, after knowing Bai Gu's identity and having contact with Wu Lao at this time, he understands that if he doesn't have a door to his mouth, then naturally someone will come to let him know what to say and what not to say.

Besides, He Yan is familiar with Wang Xizhou and Hua Xie, but even Lian Feng and Guan Dahu don't know about it, and there is no need for them to know.

Hehe, life matters.

So how does this guy know?

Bai Gu was a little puzzled.

Hua Xie pointed to Bai Gu's palm, which already had only a few faint white marks left, "That day, you and Xiaoxiao and He Yan went to the Changzhou Pharmacy, and I happened to be eating on the side of the road and saw it." ”

Bai Gu nodded, understood.

I see.

"Big Brother Flower." Bai Gu suddenly shouted.

"Huh?"

"Let's make a deal?"

"Huh?" This time, I was confused by the flower evil.

Your kid is sleeping in a daze in the afternoon, and the night wind has not awakened until now?

Although the two identities of the Sword Immortal disciple and the acquaintance of Wu Lao are very bluffing and weighty, no matter what, your kid is now in a Soul Enlightenment Realm...... Ah, no, the Spirit Casting Realm. A small spirit casting realm also wants to make a deal with me?

It's still some time before dawn, so hurry back to sleep and stop talking in your dreams.

Bai Gu bent his legs, clasped his hands on his knees, and rested his chin between his knees, "You teach me how to cultivate the body method, and I will take you to see Wu Lao in the future, how about it?" ”

Hua Xie's eyes lit up suddenly, "Is this true?" ”

"If you don't believe me, we can write notes."

"Hehe, there's no need for it, I trust Xiaobai's character."

Bai Gu smiled and tilted his head to look at Hua Xie, "My character is not valuable, if Brother Hua says so, then I will not be polite." ”

The corners of Hua Xie's grinning mouth froze instantly.

He really didn't expect this kid to speak so unreasonably.

I still don't seem to understand.

Bai Gu waved his hand, "Forget it, I won't tease you." As long as you teach me the cultivation method of the body method, when you get to Heiyang Mountain, after dealing with my affairs, if Brother Hua can still follow me back to Yunshui City, then I will take you to Changzhou Pharmacy to see Wu Lao. Of course, if we are separated by then, it doesn't matter, I will find a way to go to Wu Lao to ask for a token, and then find a way to hand it over to you, you can take the token to the Changzhou Pharmacy in Yunshui City. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to fulfill the promise I made in person. ”

Hua Xie pondered for a moment, "Okay, this deal is worth it, I did it." But Xiaobai, don't worry, although the level of my cultivation is not high, according to your current cultivation, it is barely enough. Later, when you have acquired other better body methods, it is not too late to turn to cultivation. ”

Bai Gu shook his head, "This is not needed, lest you have to bear a stigma of leaking your teacher's inheritance, big brother Hua." ”

"Hey, not really. I got this method from a ruin, and it is considered my personal gain, and it will not affect it. But if not, how can I teach you? You shouldn't have any body exercises on you, right? I don't think you did it before. ”

Bai Gu smiled, "Who said I didn't have it?" ”
