Chapter 42: Breaking Up

That night, Senior Sister Cheap jumped onto a camphor tree and hid her figure in the dense branches and leaves, while Gu Zuo took out the spirit stone and continued to practice by the bonfire.

This winter until the beginning of spring, because of the lack of spirit stones, Gu Zuo fell behind too much homework, for several months, there was no progress in cultivation, and he had been wandering in the early stage of Qi refining, and now that he had spirit stones, he had to redouble his efforts.

After dawn, Senior Sister Cheap floated down from the tree, and Gu Zuo asked, "Go to the town in front of you to have breakfast?"

Senior Sister Cheap thought for a while and nodded, "Okay." ”

When I arrived in the town, the streets of the town were already lively, I found a clean shop, ordered some hot soup and hot cakes, the shop sent things up, and the cheap senior sister sat opposite Gu Zuo and ate slowly.

Gu Zuo now treats the cheap senior sister as a big customer, and is full of the spirit of active service: "Senior sister is planning to wait for the surname Liu? I asked the store just now, went out to the south, crossed the two bridges to the east, and it was on the set. ”

The cheap senior sister nodded, so after eating, Gu Zuo called the store to come over to settle the account, and the store said with a smile: "Chenghui, Bawen." ”

looked at the senior sister sitting on the other side of the table, they didn't move, and they didn't mean to pay for it, so Gu Zuo had to take out eight coins from his arms and put them on the table.

I went back and forth several times around the town's busiest market, but found nothing.

When he was wandering around, the senior sister was not far behind him, silently following. At noon, Gu Zuo left the market and asked in a remote alley, "What should I do now?" Liu Xuanji should not have gone in this direction. ”

Senior Sister pondered for a moment and said, "Go to Yongjia." ”

When I arrived at Yongjia, it was already evening, the city gate was almost closed, Gu Zuo looked for an inn to stay, Wangzi old shop, the senior sister shook her head, saying that it was not clean; and found a clean Furu Stack, the senior sister frowned, disgusted; and finally stopped in front of a gorgeous Nine Dragon Tower, and called Gu Zuo, who had passed by mistake, back.

"Go and open an upper room, open the window, and I'll go in." ”

Without waiting for Gu Zuo to speak, he continued to move forward, walked to the corner and disappeared. After Gu Zuo entered the store, he asked, "Do you have a room?"

The shopkeeper smiled and led him to the counter, and replied, "You came by chance, there is only one room left, one hundred and fifty wen." ”

Gu Zuo gasped and asked to come down.

The upper room of the Jiulong Building is on the second floor, spacious and spacious, divided into two rooms, the outside to meet guests, the inside to rest, the furnishings are very exquisite, Gu Zuo made up his mind to let the cheap senior sister know the money, and simply asked for a table of 200 Wen noodles, eight dishes and two soups.

The inner window lattice facing the street was propped up, and I leaned over to see that below was the Huichang Canal, and on the opposite side was the Dongshan Academy. By the time the store had set up the table outside, Sister Cheap was already sitting on the edge of the bed in the inner room.

After eating, the senior sister returned to the inner room, opened the screen, blew out the candle, and separated Gu Zuo from the outer room.

Gu Zuo vacated a space next to the wall, and practiced as usual, after practicing for a long time, he sensed that there was something different inside, pushed open the screen, and the room was empty, and the window was still closed, only the window lattice had not been supported.

Before dawn the next day, Senior Sister Cheap returned to the room and said to Gu Zuo: "They are still looking for Liu Xuanji." ”

"Who?"

"We are from the Cang faction. It was said that someone had seen Liu Xuanji on the official road to Wuzhou, but when they arrived at Dongyang, Wuzhou, the Tibetan Sword Villa was empty. ”

Gu Zuo was a little surprised: "There is no one? this Liu Xuanji...... Sure enough, it's not a good person...... Hey, Senior Sister just said that they weren't from the Kuocang faction?"

Senior Sister Cheap said: "Of course I am from the Kucang faction. ”

"What do you mean? You and those people from the Kuocang Sect are not all the way? Your purpose in finding Liu Xuanji is different from them?"

"Don't ask so much. Think about it again, did Liu Xuanji give you any hints? Where will he go?"

Gu Zuo recalled carefully, and finally shook his head: "No." I'm just on the same side with him, where will he tell me the truth......"

Senior Sister sighed and said, "Let's go around the city more today." ”

"Still shopping?"

"Just go shopping!"

"It's still a market, a lively shop, a teahouse, right, and a gambling house...... A person like Liu Xuanji is very likely to gamble! Senior sister, I have something to discuss with you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"All these places you let me go to, they all cost money, a lot of money, but I don't have any money. ”

Senior sister frowned: "You don't have any money?"

Gu Zuo said: "It's really tight on hand, including this upper room, you have to pay one hundred and fifty wen for one day, and the meal you ate last night is two hundred wen, these money have to be bothered by the senior sister first, otherwise we will be swept out of the house today." ”

Senior sister frowned slightly: "I'm in a hurry to go down the mountain, and I don't have time to bring money......"

took out a spirit stone and handed it to Gu Zuo: "The spirit stone is given to you, you go to the account." ”

Gu Zuo took it with joy, and was about to say thank you, when suddenly his index finger was raised on the side of his mouth, and the senior sister immediately understood, her body moved, and she entered the inner room.

As soon as Gu Zuo sat down and made a cup of tea, the door was slammed open, and two yamen dukes with round necks and green shirts came in, one was standing beside Gu Zuo, his eyes were dripping and scanning the room, and the other went straight into the inner room.

"Who are you, why did you trespass into my house?" Gu Zuo suddenly changed color.

The intruder looked at it, came out and shook his head to the tall man outside, and the tall man took out a waist card and showed it to Gu Zuo: "The law department handles the case, I have something to ask you." ”

This is a waist card enshrined by the Yongjia County Law Division, and those who can generally sit in the county Law Division to worship are almost all foundation building monks. A qi refiner like Gu Zuo, who is still in the early stages, is just a salted fish in the eyes of others, and he can pinch and rub it.

The questions of the two priests are basically the same, first asking the origin, checking the wandering documents, and then asking if they have seen any suspicious people.

Regarding the suspicious person, the two enshrined targets were also quite clear, and they immediately took out Liu Xuanji's portrait for Gu Zuo to identify. At the same time, they also described the appearance and characteristics of a female cultivator, such as good looks, thin figure, height about Gu Zuo's ears, cultivation in the foundation building realm, etc., so that Gu Zuo recalled whether he had seen this person.

Gu Zuo listened carefully, recalled carefully, and finally told that there was no impression, and the two worshippers didn't say anything more, and left.

Senior Sister Cheap was hiding on the roof just now, and at this moment, she turned over and jumped in from the window, Gu Zuo immediately said: "Otherwise, let's go our separate ways, I won't take this business." ”

Senior Sister stared at Gu Zuo and said, "You won't accept the business of one spirit stone a day?"

Gu Zuo sighed: "Even the law department is looking for your whereabouts, senior sister, where can I get involved in this matter." ”

Senior sister said: "Don't worry, these two worshippers are my senior brothers of the Kucang faction, and they are just hired by the law department of Yongjia County, and they are looking for me by identity, not the law department to handle the case." ”

Gu Zuo said: "What the hell are you doing?

"You really want to know?"

“...... Forget it, I don't want to know...... You take your Yangguan Road, and I cross my single-plank bridge, can you?"

"You don't want the pay?"

"I want to, but I'm afraid that I won't have my life to spend my life, I just want to practice hard and don't want to get into trouble. ”

"Yes. ”

“...... Just spare me...... What?

"Yes. Here's for you, two days' pay. As she spoke, Senior Sister popped out two spirit stones, Gu Zuo received it in her hand, was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "That...... I'm leaving?"

Senior sister nodded: "Let's go." ”

The business had only been done for two days, and Gu Zuo was also very sad, looking at the two spirit stones in his hand, he sighed and said, "I'll go to the account." ”
