The branches and leaves shuttled beside him, and the ravines jumped over, Gu Zuo walked faster and faster, only this rugged mountain road was left in his eyes, and the true qi was circulating in his body, and the dense qi was steaming out above his head, thick but not dispersed.

I ran until it got dark in one breath, and suddenly there was an indescribable pleasure!

Slowing down, Gu Zuo found a dry place, sat down, and just sat down in a daze in the dark mountain forest......

The light of that sword, the yellow robe that covered the sky and the sun, left an indelible mark in Gu Zuo's heart.

It wasn't until a night owl fluttered out of nowhere and landed somewhere in the forest that he woke up and took a fresh inventory of his possessions.

When he was shaken down from the tree, his back basket also fell somewhere, and the fake compass, the fake brass bell, and a lot of various food, clothes, and clothes were gone. There is not much space in the storage wrench, so Gu Zuo threw these worthless and space-occupying sundries in the back basket, and the important things were stored in the wrench, and now that I think about it, it is a pity.

Fortunately, Hengyi Sword, "Sou Ling Jue", "Miao Su Dan Sutra", Ning Zhen Dan Furnace, five small flags, more than ten spirit stones accumulated, ten flying tickets, a little copper and the card tickets of the Taoist Hall, Dao Xuan, Ox Horn Short Knife, Fishing Line, etc., are all lying quietly in the wrench, otherwise it will be a big loss.

By the time dawn, Gu Zuo was already hungry. It is said that people in the cultivation can open the valley, which is a bit exaggerated, and the real long-term cultivation is the high cultivation of the Dan.

Compared with ordinary people, monks have a greater need for food, because their consumption is greater, and only when they absorb spirit stones, they will temporarily not need to consume ingredients, because the spiritual power in spirit stones can top up to some of the ingredients. Only when you reach the Jindan realm and the Jindan is formed in your body that can continuously supply the needs of the whole body, can you not eat or drink for a long time.

He has achieved a small degree of cultivation, and he is especially good at chasing and photographing the true qi of the spirit he has learned, and he is a hundred times stronger than in the past, and the spell is unfolded, and soon he tracks down the traces of some wild things, and finds a hole in the ground along the track, and waits patiently for a long time, and then catches a fat mountain hare.

Peel the skin and remove the dirt, make a fire and roast it, and Gu Zuo eats a big meal. Eat and drink enough, continue to walk through the mountains and forests, some people, it is best to hide far away.

He walked through it for seven days in a row, and he didn't know how far he had gone, thirsty for mountain springs and hungry for game, and it sounded like he was at ease, but this kind of day was okay once in a while, but it was not a long-term solution, unless he didn't want to continue his practice.

Before you reach the realm of Bigu, you can't do without the trivial things of life, and you spend most of your time every day to solve the problem of food and clothing, how can you practice?

So, after seven days, he began to look for a way down the mountain.

With his cultivation, these small hills and ridges in the hinterland of the Central Plains are by no means a problem, identify a direction, climb every cliff, jump when encountering a ditch, and it didn't take long to find a gurgling stream, go down the stream, and see people before the sun sets.

Looking down from the mountainside, there is a village, with hundreds of families scattered among the fields, nearly half of which are gathered together, guarding the large mansion in the middle.

Such a village is usually a surname, and the big mansion in the middle should be the patriarch's family of the village.

Gu Zuo stood on a high place and looked down at the big mansion, and faintly saw the figures in the mansion shaking, but he couldn't see it really, but the scale and layout of the house clearly showed the wealth of the owner.

Find a family to settle down, solve the basic needs of life, practice for a while with peace of mind, and sort out your mood, which is what Gu Zuo needs most now.

Looking down at his own outfit, Gu Zuo sighed softly, and at this time began to lament the lost back basket again, if the compass and copper bell were still there, it would be more like that if he set up a stall in front of the mansion to calculate a hexagram, but now even the clothes on his body are damaged, which is really embarrassing.

But no matter how big the difficulty, Gu Zuo can't be afraid, as the saying goes, people can't look good, whether a monk has real ability or not, he can't just look at the way he dresses, it's too superficial! Without the stagnation up and down in Shanyin County, Gu Zuo doesn't dare to say that he can mix up the vast world, but it shouldn't be difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing.

Descending to the foot of the mountain, Gu Zuo found some grass stems and braided them into ropes, tied his somewhat ragged clothes tightly from his waist, and then took out Hengyi's sword and tied it, which looked a lot cleaner.

I cleaned my face a little with a puddle of water, looked at my reflection, and felt that my whole person was in good spirits.

He raised his arm and encouraged himself: "Work hard!"

Gu Zuo stepped through the ridges with a majestic momentum, holding a sword in his left hand and crossing his waist with his right hand, and broke into the village with a lofty spirit.

A burst of chickens and dogs jumping!

It's just that there are no people?

The smoke curled up, and the smell of rice hit, prompting Gu Zuo to gurgle in his stomach, it turned out that all the families in the village were cooking.

Gu Zuo's throat turned, swallowed his saliva back, and began to look for his target.

After walking around the village for a long time, he didn't see a few figures, and he himself realized that the time to enter the village was not right, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

A group of naughty boys with drooping hair suddenly ran out from behind a certain grass hut, each holding a wooden sword, a stick, and a wooden knife, chasing each other, and circled around him twice.

Gu Zuo had an amiable smile on his face, and as soon as he bent down, the group of naughty boys ran around in circles again.

Seeing that the sun was about to fall completely in a few moments, and when the time came, everyone would close their doors and shut down, and they could only wait for tomorrow, Gu Zuo couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

I happened to see a half-human-high stone around the corner, and on the stone was a little girl of four or five years old, who was pouting and looking unhappy, Gu Zuo hurriedly stepped up.

"Little friend?"

“？”

"Well, why aren't you happy, you kid?"

"They don't take me to play. ”

This Gu Zuo had no choice but to take out a copper: "Do you want to buy candy to eat?"

"Yes!"

"But you have to promise your uncle one condition, okay?"

"What?"

"Is there anything in your family that has made you unhappy lately? Tell your uncle, and he will give it to you. ”

Gu Zuo is going to start with the little girl's house, first make a name for himself, and then go to the mansion to enjoy the treatment of a master.

The little girl thought about it and told Gu Zuo that her father hurt his foot crooked when he was plowing the field yesterday, and he was angry at her, and she was very unhappy.

Gu Zuo asked a few more words about the situation at the girl's house, and he had a bottom in his heart, and coaxed the little girl: "Good boy, you go home first, just say that there is a strange person outside, who knows spells, and bring your mother, or other elders in the family, well, it's best to pull grandparents and the like over, I'll wait here." ”

After thinking about it, he added: "If they don't come, you cry and spit ......"

The little girl pinched the copper coin and said, "I'm going to the water lady's house to buy candy to eat." ”

Gu Zuo stretched out his hand and pinched the little girl's pink face, scaring her: "Promise uncle first, otherwise uncle will take back the money!

The little girl hurriedly ran, turning back as she ran, Gu Zuo waved at her, signaled to go quickly, sat on the boulder, and sat in a sitting posture.

After thinking about it, he took off the Hengyi sword at his waist again, placed it horizontally on his legs, and the scabbard flicked three inches away, revealing a section of the sword body inside, and then his eyes were slightly closed, quietly waiting for his first customer to come to the door.
