Chapter 6: Ji Luoguang
"Old gentleman, how do you know that I am looking for Ji Luoguang?" Gu Ze was taken aback, and said in a slightly unsteady tone, you must know that no one else should know about the search for Ji Luoguang except for him and Gu Mu, how did this old man know?
"Little brother, don't forget, the old man is a fortune teller, is there anything else you can hide from a fortune teller?" the old man smiled, a kind smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Then can you tell me where Ji Luoguang is now?" Gu Ze was a little anxious, he didn't expect to be able to ask Ji Luoguang's news from a fortune teller, and this fortune teller was like this
"Get the money back. The old man waved his hand and motioned for Gu Ze to take back the bag of coins that had been placed on the table before.
"Old man, ......" Gu Ze saw the old man like this, and suddenly became anxious, and finally found a person who could let him know Ji Luoguang's news, but seeing the old man like this, it seemed that he didn't want to tell him Ji Luoguang's news, so it was strange if he was not in a hurry.
"Haha, little brother, don't think about it, the old man won't take your money when he sees that you are destined for me. The old man said with a smile, in his eyes
"Ah?...... Thank you. Gu Ze's tense heart also relaxed, just now he almost thought that the old man didn't tell him the news of Ji Luoguang. He quickly smiled and hugged his fists in thanks.
The old man nodded slightly, then slowly closed his eyes, and soon he calmed down. Gu Ze looked at the old man curiously, he was thinking in his heart, could it be that he knew where Ji Luoguang was as soon as he closed his eyes?
This street is extremely quiet at the moment, as if even the sound of mosquitoes fanning their wings can be heard very carefully, Gu Ze stood in place and watched the old man motionlessly, waiting quietly, not daring to make a sound.
In just ten breaths, the old man's eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes seemed to be as deep as an abyss. However, there seemed to be a glimmer of golden light in his deep eyes, but this light came and disappeared quickly, and in an instant, the old man's eyes returned to inky black.
The old man smiled faintly, made a gesture of invitation to the lively street, and said slowly: "Ji Luoguang lives in a wooden house in the woods in the easternmost part of Iku City, and you still need to find the approximate location by yourself. ”
"Thank you, old man!" Gu Ze was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him. He turned around and was about to leave, then looked at the old man and asked, "I don't know what the old gentleman's name is?"
"Haha, I don't need to tell you my name, if it's fate, you'll naturally know it in the future......" The old man smiled and stroked his beard before closing his eyes again.
"Well, if you don't say it, you won't bother to ask, thank you!" Seeing this, Gu Ze nodded lightly meaningfully, bowed again, and immediately walked towards the east. At this moment, his heart was also much more relaxed, and he finally knew where Ji Luoguang was......
Gu Ze left quietly, the fortune teller slowly opened his deep eyes, looking at Gu Ze's departing back, the old man slowly showed a kind smile: "Go, my child." ”
Gradually, the quiet street disappeared, and the old man disappeared with a smile, leaving only a narrow alley.
......
Iku City is not as vast as Vasa City, but it is also a large city. Guzawa crossed the streets, and he really didn't know how long it would take to get to the easternmost part of Iku City, so he hired a carriage on the side of the road, believing that he should be able to get there before sunset.
Gu Ze sat smoothly in the carriage, looking at the people and shops flowing like water on both sides, he couldn't help but think of his mother. On the day he left, he hadn't said goodbye to his mother, he was afraid that his mother would not bear to let him leave, but there were too many curiosities and unknowns in this world for him. He came into this world, and how he longed to see this strange world.
Look at this strange Quitian realm!
The further east you go, the shops on both sides of the street gradually turn into residential buildings, and the streets become less crowded. At this moment, it is dusk, and the fiery red clouds are dense over the sky, and the fiery sunset is slowly setting into the sky. In this residential area, most of what Guzawa hears are the voices of parents calling for their children to return home.
Gu Ze's heart moved, quietly looking at the streets on both sides, and then his heart fell silent.
"This son, the east gate of the city has arrived, and you can go to the forest after a short walk. However, the forest is not very safe at night, and although there are no beasts here, it is often walked by people with bad intentions, so you must be careful," the coachman drove the carriage until he reached a city gate. Immediately, the coachman turned to Guzawa and smiled.
"Okay, thanks for the reminder, it's your reward. Gu Ze smiled and took out ten coins from his body and handed them to the coachman. The coachman smiled and took the coins, and then set up the carriage and returned to the city.
After getting out of the carriage, Gu Ze glanced up at the sky, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on his young face, and he groaned a little and then ran towards the forest in front of him.
A bright moon was slowly rising towards the sky, and the sun had lowered the horizon, and the sky had darkened.
Gu Ze shuttled through this forest, and because of the arrival of night, the already somewhat gloomy forest became even darker at the moment, making him feel a cold feeling.
Gu Ze made a torch so that there was some light, so that he could come to find Ji Luoguang's wooden house.
And he became a center in this dark world.
Going deeper, Gu Ze's eyes kept scanning the surroundings, holding a torch in one hand and opening the branches around him from time to time with the other, for fear that he would not see the wooden house because of a moment of negligence. It's not that he's distracted, it's that it's very difficult for him to find in such a pitch black environment.
"Eh, there seems to be light in front, could it be Ji Luoguang's wooden house. Gu Ze's eyes stared at a blurred light not far ahead, and this light seemed to have become a focal point in this dark world.
Then Gu Ze actually found a bluestone path, and he walked forward along the bluestone paved path at his feet, staring at the light not far away.
As he walked inside, as if at the end of the bluestone path, he saw the outline of a room, which, though in the dark forest, was made clearer by the light through the window.
However, whether it was Ji Luoguang's house or not, he didn't know.
Gu Ze approached the wooden house, and he looked at the wooden house. The hut is large, and all made of green bamboo and some good wood, but it looks a little unpretentious on the outside. Such a wooden house was like a house where ordinary people lived, and Gu Ze also began to guess what Ji Luoguang's identity was.
What kind of person could make his father highly admired, but it was hard to figure out how he lived in this simple wooden house......
Gu Ze stood at the door of the wooden house, and after a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and gently raised his right hand and knocked on the door twice.
"Knock Knock ......"
"Is anyone there?"
Seeing that no one responded, Gu Ze knocked on the door again and asked, "Is anyone there?"
Still no one responded, Gu Ze cautiously pushed open the door of the house, looked at the room with stupid eyes, and after a moment, he gently raised his steps and walked in.
"No one?" Gu Ze looked into the room, the candles in the candlesticks on the wooden table were still flickering, but there was no figure in this spacious wooden house.
The décor in this wooden house is very simple, and most of the furniture is made of bamboo and wood. The room was full of daily necessities, but in addition, there were a lot of wine jars, which made it look very crowded.
Gu Ze became more and more curious about who this Ji Luoguang was.
"You, that's Gu Ze?" Suddenly, an old voice came into Gu Ze's ears.
"Who?" Gu Ze was startled, and his eyes quickly scanned around the room, but he didn't see half a figure.
Did I hear it wrong?
"Hehe, the birthmark on this forehead is really similar to that thing, it should be you. The old voice sounded again.
"Who are you?!" This time Gu Ze heard it again, even if he heard it wrong the first time, it was absolutely impossible to hear it wrong the second time, he believed that there was definitely someone in this room.
It's just that he can't see it.
"I'm the Ji Luoguang you're looking for. With the voice of the old man, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Gu Ze.
The figure came suddenly, as if countless shadows were instantly condensed, and suddenly a white-haired old man appeared in front of Gu Ze, he was suddenly startled, and sat directly on the ground. Then he came back to himself, he just said that his name was Ji Luoguang?!
"You are the old man Ji. Gu Ze looked at the figure, quickly stood up, and didn't bother to tidy up his clothes, and hurriedly bowed his hand.
"Why, isn't it?" The old man laughed.
Gu Ze had seen Ji Luoguang's portrait, but that portrait was not like the old man in front of him, unkempt and disheveled. But the appearance is still somewhat similar.
"It was the Gumu boy who asked you to come to me, right?" The old man picked up a pot of wine, took a few sips into his mouth, squeezed his eyes, and asked.
"Yes, my father asked me to come to Senior Ji. The corners of Gu Ze's mouth trembled, how could his father, a strong man at the peak of the Void Realm, become a kid in his mouth.
"Why does he want you to come to me? I can't help him, and you're here for nothing. Ji Luoguang sat on the bed in the room, glanced at Gu Ze, and continued to drink casually.
"My father wanted me to learn from my seniors. Gu Ze said directly and straightforwardly, and he directly stated the purpose of his visit this time.
"Worship me as a teacher? Ji Luoguang stopped drinking and smiled disdainfully.
"Oh, by the way, this is the letter that my father asked me to give you. As he spoke, Gu Ze took out the letter given to him by Gu Mu from the ring, and immediately stepped forward and handed it to Ji Luoguang.
After Ji Luoguang glanced at Gu Ze, he put the wine jug aside for the time being, took the letter and began to look at it rarely.
After reading the letter, Ji Luoguang's face also changed slightly, and finally a wisp of flame suddenly flashed on the palm of his hand and directly burned the letter.
"Alas...... This boy, alas, who wants me to owe you your family? Alright then, I'll reluctantly take you as an apprentice. Ji Luoguang sighed a few times, waved his hand as if he had a headache, and sighed helplessly.
"Hurry up, call the teacher. Ji Luoguang was helpless, since he agreed, he didn't ink, and immediately urged, but his face was still so helpless.
"Yes, the apprentice meets the teacher. When Gu Ze heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed to Ji Luoguang.
Gu Ze knelt on the ground calmly on the surface, but he kowtowed three times excitedly in his heart. He had already guessed Ji Luoguang's identity, and countless identities had flashed in his extremely curious heart.
"I don't know, teacher, what stage of powerhouse are you?" Gu Ze approached Ji Luoguang, and his eyes widened, as if they couldn't be bigger.
"This, I've been in seclusion for decades, and I haven't cultivated for a long time, besides, do you believe me when I say I'm Emperor Kui?" Ji Luoguang had a faint drunkenness in his eyes, the sides of his cheeks were slightly red, and he took another sip of wine and said casually.
"Kuidi! hiss......" When Gu Ze heard this, he gasped in his mouth, he couldn't beat his heart just by hearing it, and then he began to get excited. He thought: If what Ji Luoguang said was true, wouldn't he have made a fortune, and it was incredible that he could have a strong man as a teacher.
Perhaps, as Gu Mu said, this is something that can determine the fate of his life!
You know, this is a super peak powerhouse who is three stages stronger than his father! A peak powerhouse like this is undoubtedly not standing at the top of the Kuitian Realm, but in retrospect, how could such a super powerhouse be willing to live in seclusion as a commoner in this small Dika Empire?
How could he be his own teacher so casually? It's ridiculous to think about it.
Moreover, how can he not even see a little bit of the dominance that a strong man should have, and the temperament of the mountains and rivers that shocks the mountains and rivers at all? Presumably, it shouldn't be true, it's just a foolish thing that an old man said when he was drunk.
"Teacher, don't tease me. Gu Ze smiled in disbelief.
"I'll just say it, you don't believe what I said. Ji Luoguang was not dissatisfied, he didn't even glance at Gu Ze, and continued to drink.
"Forget it, let's get down to business, I can probably guess why your dad asked you to come over. Well, then from today onwards, I will teach you how to train until I develop you into a top powerhouse. Ji Luoguang lifted his soft body, got up slowly, put the wine jug in his mouth, and walked towards the door with trembling steps.
"Top powerhouse?" Gu Ze muttered.
Although Gu Ze's voice was very small, he couldn't escape Ji Luoguang's ears, he turned around drunkenly, stared at Gu Ze with sharp eyes, and after seeing Gu Ze a little dazed, he slowly said lightly from his mouth:
"Because of your blood...... You are not allowed to be mediocre all your life!"
