Chapter 9 Digging a Pit
After reprimanding Gu Zuo, Chen Liu went down the mountain, leaving only Jiang Qi and the courtyard to stay. Jiang Qi didn't know where to get a whetstone a foot high, sat on the edge of the stone, kept pushing and grinding his waist knife back and forth, and looked at Gu Zuo while scooping water from the bowl next to him to wipe the blade.
Gu Zuo asked him: "Seventh brother, this knife is sharpened, it is authentic! Look at this blade, it is extremely sharp...... Seventh brother, what kind of business did the sixth brother just say? ”
Jiang Qi didn't say a word, the waist knife clicked on the stone with a rhythm, and just when Gu Zuo thought it was no play, a word suddenly popped up: "Demon cultivation." ”
Gu Zuo was shocked in his heart, and asked a few more questions, but Jiang Qi never said anything more. Although Jiang Qi only revealed two words, these two words had already made Gu Zuo restless.
The so-called demon cultivator is actually a monk, but a monk who has entered the demon path. When a monk breaks through the realm, such as a qi refiner breaking through the realm and building a foundation, or building a foundation to break through the realm golden pill, there are often demons descending, if they can't carry it, they can't break through the realm, some people can retreat with their whole body, and some people are injured or even killed.
Among them, there are a small number of people who are extremely demons, and they can't extricate themselves from it, and it is common for them to act upside down and disorderly, and some people who are deeply demonized are completely controlled by their demons, and their killing intent is extremely strong, and they are often slaughtered, which is extremely harmful.
In addition, there are also some monks who follow crooked and evil paths, and when they practice, they are eager for quick success and quick profit, and they are unscrupulous, and they are also classified as demon cultivators by the Chongxuan Administration, and they must be eliminated.
Matters related to demon cultivation are usually issued by the county law department or the county criminal Cao, and the various sects are organized to besiege and kill them, and the remuneration is also quite generous, and it must be a joint effort to besiege and kill, and it is by no means a single fight.
But the problem is that Gu Zuo's cultivation is too low, and he came to the conclusion after a simple judgment, even if he follows behind and shouts, the risk is extremely high, and if he is not careful, he will die.
This kind of business, Gu Zuo doesn't want to take it.
Back in the house, I weighed the copper coins on my body, and more than fifty Wen, saving food and money enough to last for three or five days, with these three or five days, if it goes well, I should be able to run out of Huiji County, and when the time comes, I will fly away, what seal money, what monthly money is handed over, what He family's fake civet cat, all have nothing to do with me!
Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, to be displaced again, and the household registration of Shanyin County, which was finally obtained, is gone, and it is even very likely that he will end up with the same fate as Wang Daochang and be wanted by the criminal Cao of Shanyin County.
But as long as you run far away and start over incognito, you may not be able to create a new world. Especially in southern Xinjiang, which is in the midst of a great development boom, Wang Daochang has mentioned it several times, maybe he is on the way to southern Xinjiang.
Although Wang Daochang hid and did not teach himself to practice, and he also threw himself down when he ran away, but after these days have passed, after the initial anger has dissipated, he calmly recalled that he has still taken care of himself in the past six months.
If he eats two bowls of rice, Gu Zuo will not eat one less chopsticks, he will make a dress for himself, and Gu Zuo will inevitably have one. After Gu Zuo stole the "Soul Search Formula", he didn't seem to have much reservation to explain all the words and phrases he didn't understand, otherwise why would Gu Zuo be able to practice in front of books?
The most important thing is that if it wasn't for Wang Daochang half a year ago, he would have starved to death in the mountains.
Okay, go to southern Xinjiang to find Wang Daochang, reprimand him in person for his wrong behavior of leaving him behind, and ask him to solemnly apologize, everyone is still good friends.
Gu Zuo also had nothing to clean up, so he took out the back basket and stuffed two clothes into it, and the peach wood sword and the directional compass were also packed inside, although these two items were not the kind of magic weapons used by the royal daochang, they were useless, but they could still be taken out to bluff people if necessary, and they could even be exchanged for money. As for the most valuable brass bell, it can only be hung on the door.
Finally, I strung the fifty coins with a string, wrapped them around my waist, and everything was ready.
Through the slightly open window, Gu Zuo observed Jiang Qi's movements, patiently waiting for the opportunity.
Dusk came, the sun shadow was slanting westward, Jiang Qi was still clicking, Gu Zuo took a step back, and loosened some numb muscles and bones on his back.
The sun completely hid behind the col, the small courtyard was already dark, Jiang Qi was still clicking, and Gu Zuo was pacing back and forth, not glancing out the window.
The bright moon was hanging high, and the chirping of insects was already ringing in the courtyard, Jiang Qi finally got up, and Gu Zuo's head immediately came to the crack of the window to stare at his movements. I saw Jiang Qi walk to the back of the house, take a pile of firewood and come back to add fire, while the flames were fluttering and jumping, he sat back on the whetstone and continued to click.
Gu Zuo fell on the bed in a daze.
Jiang Qi had been sharpening his knife in the courtyard, and Gu Zuo didn't know how long he had been asleep in the click, and suddenly woke up, but the sound of sharpening the knife outside stopped. Gu Zuo listened attentively, and in the main house where Wang Daochang originally lived, there was a faint sound of snoring.
At this time, the sky has turned white, and when it is about to be bright, fog begins to rise on Xiaogu Mountain, which is the best time!
Jiang Qi is a martial artist with kung fu, and the copper bell ringing when he pushes the door is likely to wake him up, and going out from the door will definitely not work, Gu Zuo has already thought about it, took out the directional compass, and began to dig in the corner of the room.
When the house was built, the ground was compacted, but after all, it was still dirt, and when you poured the prepared bowls of water, it immediately began to soften. Although his cultivation is extremely shallow, he has a little cultivation, and when he transports that bit of mana in the dantian qi sea to his wrist, his strength is much greater.
After a short period of digging, a two-foot-deep and two-foot-long tunnel gradually took shape, and it was just around the stakes that supported the wall from the bottom.
Gu Zuo crawled out of the pit, gently dragged the back basket out, carried it on his back, and tiptoed to open the firewood in the yard.
Looking back, the sky was already bright, the morning fog was getting thicker, and Jiang Qi's snoring continued to come from the house, obviously sleeping soundly.
Gu Zuo was in a good mood, waved goodbye to the house, and turned to go down the mountain.
A poem suddenly came out of my heart: After being in the cage for a long time, I can return to nature! No matter whether it is appropriate or not, in short, it is extremely suitable for the mood at this moment!
Who knew that he had just walked two steps, and a figure appeared in the dense fog between the mountain roads, Gu Zuo was suddenly shocked, who else would it be if it was not Chen Liu who went up the mountain at this time? In a panic, he turned around and wanted to run, but for a while he didn't know where to go or where to hide, like a fly without a head.
I didn't have time or a chance to think about hiding anymore, and a greeting had already sounded behind him: "Immortal Master Gu, is it you Immortal Master Gu?" I came out early in the morning to greet Wei, I really didn't dare to be it, haha." ”
This greeting was so eager, and this laughter was so hearty, that it suddenly penetrated the silent morning of Xiaogushan Mountain, and brought up a group of birds that got up early to catch insects.
Not Chen Liu?
Gu Zuo turned around and saw Wei Ji striding towards him, his face full of cheerful smiles.
