Chapter 4: Departure

In a large wooden house in the middle of nowhere.

The interior of the house was shabby, except for a large wooden table, only three candles flickered slightly.

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in an atmosphere and with a calm breath was sitting upright on a wooden chair, and the heroic aura between his eyebrows revealed an invisible majesty, this person was Gu Mu. He wrote hard in his hand, stared at the letters on the wooden table, and said lightly: "How is it?

Beside him stood a black figure, dressed in a wide black robe and wearing a black mask, dressed in a very mysterious way, as if deliberately not wanting people to know her identity. Hearing this, the black shadow bowed slightly, and a clear and pleasant female voice slowly came: "Master, Yan Soul Yu and Duan Qicheng are already ready to move." ”

"I had expected that the two of them were insidious and vicious, and they had evil intentions, and it was only a matter of time before they moved, and it would be strange if they didn't move. However, we must not be passive, we must be proactive when we should be proactive, and start implementing the plan. During the implementation of the plan, it is important to ensure the safety of the clansmen, and remember not to startle the snakes. ”

"Yes. The black figure was respectful, bowed down again, and said softly.

"Someone's coming, you go first. Everything is going according to plan, and there must be no mistakes in the plan!" Gu Mu stopped writing with the pen in his hand, looked up at the calm door, and then said solemnly.

"Yes, master!" the shadow nodded heavily, made a strange salute, and disappeared into the room with a twist.

After watching the shadow leave, Gumu returned to his original self-struggling appearance, as if nothing had happened.

"Knock Knock ......"

"Come in. ”

"Dad, what are you looking for me?" Gu Ze gently pushed the door in, walked in front of Gu Mu, and asked in a low tone.

"Ze'er, actually, it's not a matter of the morning to call you here, I called you here because I want to ask you about your own wishes. Gu Mu sat at a wooden table, and when he saw that it was Gu Ze who came in, he immediately put down the pen in his hand and stopped writing.

"Okay, you say. Gu Ze nodded and listened quietly.

"You...... Want to leave the family?" Gu Mu sighed and said.

"I want to see this part of the world. Gu Ze said softly, without any expression on his face.

"Alas...... Do you want to be stronger?" Gu Mu sighed slightly and asked again.

"Yes. Gu Ze blurted out directly without thinking about it, at this moment, when did he not want to become stronger when he was cultivating at the first level of his source qi.

"Then if you want to become stronger, you have to learn to be independent and face difficulties alone, are you willing?" Gumudau.

"I do. Gu Ze replied without thinking, he didn't know where the courage came from, as if I was willing to rush to his head with three hot words.

"Hmm...... Okay, I want you to go outside of Vasa City now, and you won't be allowed to go home for three years, are you still willing?" Gumu's voice raised a few points.

Everything in this world is unfamiliar to Gu Ze, if nothing else, he can't figure it out just by cultivating his strength, let alone everything in this world? He has lived in this Vasa City for almost sixteen years, and with the memories of his previous life, he has long been unwilling to continue to live in this boring city. The outside world is bizarre and mysterious, which brings him quite a bit of curiosity.

He had heard his father say many, many things on the mainland, and the hearsay alone made him very curious, and there were countless strange people and strange things on the continent, and there were countless strong people.

He wants to know more about the world, and he is willing to go to the mainland to experience this trip.

"I ...... Willing. Gu Ze pondered for a moment and then said slowly, "However, the Monk Ceremony ......"

"Don't worry, I'll do my best to delay the renunciation. Although the rules are dead, people are alive, although they must pass the various tests of the renunciation ceremony to be eligible for the renunciation experience, but it is still possible to change it occasionally. And I will try my best to delay the renunciation ceremony until the day you come back, just two more years, I believe that no one will object to this family. I also hope that when you come back, you will be a man who can take charge of himself. Gu Mu's tone became excited, and there was more reluctance in his eyes.

"Ze'er, in fact, you don't belong to the Dika Empire, let alone this little Vasa City, your future lies above the world, at the pinnacle, you shouldn't be bound to this little Vasa City. Kuitian realm, five continents and one sea, six tribes, this boundless world, let you show your strength and bloom brilliantly. Your life is destined to be extraordinary, your fate is definitely not tragic, believe in yourself, and believe in me, you will have your mission, and this mission is about us...... It's about everyone......" Slowly, Gu Mu closed his eyes, slightly feeling every molecule in this world, his tone was quite meaningful, I don't know if it is a preaching, or a feeling, maybe a feeling from the heart, but full of affection.

"Hmm......" Gu Ze's heart was much calmer, he was a little stunned, he didn't quite understand Gu Mu's words, but he could hear it clearly, Gu Mu didn't want him to stay in this Vasa City.

He didn't want to tie Gu Ze's life! He wanted Gu Ze to go further!

"That'...... Daddy, when am I leaving?" Gu Ze exhaled and asked softly. After listening to Gu Mu's words, his heart was much calmer, as if he had no scruples, and at this moment he couldn't wait to go out to practice.

After a while, Gu Mu exhaled deeply, opened his eyes suddenly, and the firmness in his eyes impacted Gu Ze's heart, which was like a rock, unswerving!

"Just today!"

......

The sunset blends with the sky, and the bright red clouds fill the sky, and the dark red glow scatters the earth. A thin black figure stood in front of the city gate of Vasa, silently staring at the quaint city gate that had experienced many years of wind, frost, snow and rain, and the corners of his eyes trembled slightly.

"Goodbye, Dad. ”

"Goodbye, mother. ”

"Goodbye, Satoshiki. ”

"Goodbye to the Gu family. ”

"Goodbye, Vasa City. ”

As the sun set, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Gu Ze's face, and a feeling of loneliness suddenly arose. He looked at the huge city gate in front of him and the large plaque hanging high on the city gate, and the reluctance in his heart was even stronger.

He sighed, and the goodbye would be three years away. What will become of Vasa City at that time, and what will become of the ancient family at that time? Everything will be the future. Who can predict the changes of three years?

"Now I'm going to Iku City, a neighboring city of Vaasa. Guze held a letter from Gumu to him in his hand, recalling many of what Gumu had said to him, and the first thing he had to go to was Iku City.

The city of Iku and Vasa are separated by only a river of the river, and Guzawa must cross the river by boat if he wants to get to the other side.

Gu Ze walked slowly to the edge of the Xijiang River, when the sunset was gone, and the silver moon was climbing into the night. Walking by the river, Gu Ze can clearly feel the cold wind blowing faintly at night by the river, and he can also hear the chirping of night insects. He walked along the riverbank, walked for a while, and finally saw a fire on the bank of a river, which came from a large ship. The ship's lights flickered, and this light was the only light in the dark sky. The ship was arranged by Gumu, and this was also what he could to help his son. Maybe this is also the last time he will help his son in a short period of time, he will not see each other for three years, he hopes that Gu Ze can concentrate on cultivation when he is away, and not put too much thought on missing.

In three years, Gu Mu's greatest hope is that Gu Ze can go home safely. In this way, it is enough.

"Is anyone there?" Guze walked to the side of the boat and shouted at the big boat.

"Someone, someone. Gu Ze's shout fell, and a moment later a young man ran from the boat, and he shouted as he looked at the darkness in front of him.

"Can I get on board?" Gu Ze shouted.

The boy did not reply, he immediately turned and ran into the boat, and after a moment the boy reappeared on deck, and he shouted loudly into the darkness, "You can get on board." ”

After a while, the boy lowered the aisle where he could land. Gu Ze nodded to the boy, and after the boy smiled in response, the two walked into the boat together.

The inside of the ship was brightly lit, and several laughter echoed, and Gu Ze was led by the young man to a relatively open place in the boat. Here sat five big men and a thin, but strong-looking middle-aged man. The six of them sat around talking and laughing, and the wine glass in their hands was sent to their mouths from time to time, and when they were done, they picked up the wine jug and poured a full glass. Gu Ze nodded lightly after seeing them, the big men smiled a little drunkenly, and the middle-aged man put down the wine glass in his hand and walked quickly in front of Gu Ze.

He hugged his fist at Gu Ze, and then asked, "I am the captain of this ship, my name is Fan Bo, are you Young Master Gu Ze?"

"I am. Gu Ze also clenched his fists.

"Young Master Gu, Patriarch Gu has already told me, the remuneration has been paid, you can rest well, there is food and drink over there, we will sail across the river tonight." Fan Bo was drunk, and smiled with a slightly red eye.

"I'm tired of Captain Fan Bo. Gu Ze also smiled slightly.

"Alright, let's sail. The middle-aged man shouted to the half-drunk and half-awake men, and then walked up to the deck alone, and picked up the rudder on the deck to set sail.

The big men quickly woke themselves up, and then staggered to the man's side to obey the order.

After a while, the ship began to sail, and their destination was Iku Castle, across the Xijiang River.

The Xijiang River is not very long, but it is very wide, like a small inland sea. However, because there are many tributaries in its lower reaches, it is not called Xihu Lake, but Xijiang River.

The Xijiang River is more than 10 kilometers wide, and this distance is neither far nor close for the navigation of the ship. It was already night, and he set a speed after careful estimation. If you sail at this speed, you'll be able to reach Iku Castle at dawn tomorrow morning.

Fan Bo arranged a room for Gu Ze to rest on the ship, and he also sent Gu Ze a lot of food and drink, and specially instructed Gu Ze to tell him if he had any needs and discomforts. Gu Ze's enthusiasm for Captain Fan Bo is also helpless. He guessed that his father had paid Captain Fan Bo a lot.

The next day, the sun burst out of the horizon, and the light of dawn shone on every part of the earth, and the banks of the Xijiang River also shone with golden light.

Gu Ze got up very early, he stood on the deck of the ship and quietly looked at the rising golden sun, the light of the golden sun filled Gu Ze's face, quite warm and comfortable. He raised his hand slightly, looking at the extra pale red ring on his hand, a gift his father had given him when he was gone. This ring is called a ring, and there is a small space in its small and delicate body, which is used to store items. The ring that Gu Mu gave him was five square meters in size, and it contained the supplies that Gu Mu had prepared for Gu Ze to go out. For example, a one-square-meter kui ring can be sold for at least 20,000 kui coins, and this five-square-meter kui ring can be sold for at least 300,000 kui coins. What is the concept of 300,000 kui coins, that is to say, in the homes of ordinary people, 300,000 is enough for them to eat for a lifetime.

Usually, the juniors of the Gu family rarely have a ring, which can be regarded as a great gift from Gu Mu.

"Young Master Gu Ze, it's almost time to dock!" At this moment, Fan Bo's voice suddenly came.

"Well, got it. Guze lowered his hand, he walked to the edge of the boat and looked at the shore.

The banks of the Xijiang River are full of boats, large and small, and Gu Ze's eyes are overwhelmed. Many fishermen are also preparing to go out to the river to fish. You can also see many shops on the shore, and many people walk on the street, and it is very lively to come and go. Iku City is also a large city, but it is not as prosperous as Vasa City.

But the city of Iku is not the same as the city of Vasa. Both cities are located on the edge of the Xijiang River, but the Xijiang River is also counted in the city of Iku, while the Xijiang River is outside the city of Vasa, which also lays the foundation for the difference in the living customs of the people of the two cities. Most of the city of Iku is a fisherman, while the city of Vasa is mainly commercial.

The boat landed smoothly under Fan Bo's precise control, and Gu Ze said goodbye to Fan Bo and walked off the ship alone. He still has important things to do for him.

Guze walked silently on the street with people coming and going, and his mind couldn't help but think of what his father said when he left.

......

"Today?"

"That's right, just today!" Gumu's tone was firm. This time was also decided by him after careful consideration.

"But I haven't said goodbye to my mother, Satomu. Gu Ze said.

"Farewell...... Forget it. She probably won't let you out if you go like this, after all, you're only sixteen years old, and your mother knows the dangers outside. Gu Mu waved his hand and said.

"Ze'er, you take this letter with you. Remember, you must not lose or open this letter. Gu Mu picked up a sealed letter from the wooden table in front of him, slowly handed it to Gu Ze, and said very seriously.

"Yes, father. Guzawa took the letter and put it in his clothes, the envelope pressed tightly against his chest.

"Here's to you. Gu Mu saw that the envelope had been put away by Gu Ze and nodded slightly, and then he took out a light red ring from his body and handed it to Gu Ze.

"This is ......" Gu Ze looked at the ring and took it, looking at it.

"It's a ring, and you can store five square meters of belongings so you can take things with you. Gumu explained.

"Alright, take the letter with you, and go to Iku City to find a man named Ji Luoguang. Not only do you have to find him, but you have to worship him as a teacher!" Gumudau.

"Worship him as a teacher?"

"That's right, I want to worship him as a teacher. Believe me, if you worship him as a teacher, the benefits are far greater than you imagined, and you will definitely benefit for the rest of your life!"

"Remember the person in this portrait, he is the person you have to find. ”
