Volume 1 [Beginning to Cultivate Truth] Chapter 87 Osmanthus Cake
The task on the black market side is completely different from the mission on the Xuanyuan faction's side.
Most of the tasks on the black market side are killing people and selling goods, and a few are those who need elixirs and the like.
It doesn't matter how your stuff came from here, and it's basically not a sight to be able to get it here anyway.
When Tong Sheng came to the place where the mission was issued on the black market, he saw a lot of people, all of whom wore masks like him and hid their true appearances.
After looking around, I found that there were no new tasks released recently, or they were too far away from here to take them over.
At this time, Tong Sheng found a task, which had a lot to do with what he heard the old blind man say when he was in the inn.
Enter the blue water pool, follow the direction of the child and the woman's voice when the five-colored aurora appears, find the body of a man, and bring back all the things on his body.
This task is a bit weird, and Tong Sheng will not take on such a strange task.
After confirming that there was no suitable task, Tong Sheng bought some more things and left the black market.
After hanging out for a long time, Lei Jiabo finally didn't feel the feeling of being stared at.
He didn't know who was secretly following him behind, and he asked himself if he hadn't provoked anyone.
You must know that he is going to do this task with Gu Ruicai and the others this time, except for a few of them, no one else knows about it at all, how can anyone follow him?
Although he had already thrown off the people, he still carefully walked around before quietly going back to see the inn, and after returning to the inn, he was a little more relieved.
The situation on Gu Ruicai's side is a little strange, and it is completely different from the other people.
Gu Xuan is obviously more than ten years old, but he is still like a child, and he wants new things when he sees them.
Gu Rui didn't want to buy it for him, but if this guy didn't buy it for him, he kept nagging and saying that he would go back next time to sue.
Gu Ruicai was also annoyed by him, and there was really no way, so he could only buy him those gadgets that were useless at all.
"Look, it's osmanthus cake. ”
Gu Ruicai touched his forehead helplessly, this guy mentioned it to him, it was impossible for him not to buy it.
After buying a few pieces of osmanthus cake for Gu Xuan, this guy's mouth was finally blocked by eating.
"Hmm..."
Gu Ruicai's mouth was blocked by a piece of osmanthus cake, which made him not have the slightest vigilance, and only Gu Xuan was the only one who did this.
"You can also taste it, this osmanthus cake still tastes the same as when I was a child. ”
Hearing Gu Xuan's words, Gu Ruicai was really helpless.
The method of osmanthus cake is almost the same, and the taste naturally cannot have any great provenance.
What's more, he obviously ate osmanthus cake once when he was a child, as if he had eaten it many times.
Gu Rui tasted the osmanthus cake in his mouth, and a fragrance of osmanthus exploded directly in his mouth.
I still remember the only time they ate osmanthus cakes, they were still seven or eight years old, and they had not yet joined the Xuanyuan faction.
On that day, the third uncle drove a cart of goods from the city in the south to the city in the north to sell them, and returned to the village to rest for a day before continuing.
The third uncle brought a box of osmanthus cakes to Gu Ruicai, and a box of osmanthus cakes was a full eight.
As soon as Gu Rui opened the box, he smelled a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers, which was the first time he saw osmanthus cake.
"Ruicai, this is called osmanthus cake, I haven't seen it. ”
After taking a sip of tea, the third uncle looked at Gu Ruicai and looked like he had never seen the world, but he also knew that it was because he was in this small village.
This small village limited his vision, and even he had to work hard for more than ten years to barely get rid of this small village.
In addition to himself, I am afraid that only Gu Ruicai's parents know a little bit about the bitterness in the past ten years.
The third uncle has been busy all these years, and now he is almost forty years old and does not even have a family, and he has already regarded Gu Ruicai as his own child.
"I haven't seen it, third uncle, you eat. ”
Looking at Gu Ruicai, who handed the osmanthus cake to his mouth, there was a trace of tears in the eyes of the third uncle.
"Well, the third uncle eats, and you eat too. ”
Gu Ruicai watched the third uncle taste a piece after eating, and the fragrance of osmanthus burst on the tip of his tongue all of a sudden, and he couldn't describe the feeling at all.
"Third uncle, I'll give my father and mother a taste. ”
After saying this, Gu Ruicai left the third uncle's residence and ran home.
After returning home, Gu Rui fed his father and mother a piece separately, and left one piece for each of them on the table.
Gu Rui, who was holding the box with only three osmanthus cakes left, met Gu Xuan who came to him at this time, and Gu Xuan at this time was still a little guy who was much shorter than him.
"Now, give you a piece of osmanthus cake to taste, this is what my third uncle specially brought back for me. ”
Looking at the osmanthus cake handed out by Gu Rui, Gu Xuan took it and ate it without thinking about it.
The taste of osmanthus cake captured Gu Xuan at once, and a piece was not enough for him to eat, so he looked into the box where there was still a piece of osmanthus cake left.
"You don't want to fight the idea of this osmanthus cake, I only ate a piece myself, don't even think about it. ”
Gu Xuan looked at Gu Ruicai with some grievances, and Gu Ruicai touched his forehead helplessly.
"Here you go, here you go, really. Gu Ruicai broke the osmanthus cake into two petals, and gave the larger one to Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan ate the osmanthus cake at once, and Gu Rui saw that he was going to ask for the piece in his hand again, and he ate it directly.
"Hey, what are you thinking? I've been standing here for a while. ”
Gu Xuan touched Gu Ruicai's forehead and found that there was nothing wrong with him, and looked at him a little strangely.
"It's nothing, I don't think it's early, let's go back quickly." ”
Gu Rui felt a little sleepy and didn't want to continue shopping, but Gu Xuan wouldn't let him go like this.
When he was in the sect before, Gu Ruicai had always focused on cultivation, and he didn't even take him to visit the fang market in the sect.
The previous missions were all to go to some sparsely populated place, that is, this time he came to Hundred Poison City to be more lively, so he would not let go of this opportunity.
Gu Ruicai is not afraid of the senior brother in the Qi refining period even in the sect, but there is no way to take this guy, he has always been like this since he was a child.
"Look, there's a lot of people over there, let's go over there and see what's going on over there. ”
Gu Xuan took Gu Ruicai and followed him to the place where there were a bunch of people over there, he wanted to see what these people were doing over there.
Gu Ruicai followed Gu Xuan into the crowd, and saw the old blind man they had seen in the inn before sitting in the middle of the crowd.
"Old blind man, go on, what's next?"
It turned out that this old blind man was telling stories here, just like the storyteller in the world.
"In other words, the battle back then could be said to have been fought in the dark, and almost all of the immortals and demons were killed in the battle. ”
"The demon world was also seriously injured, and fled back to the demon world after the end of the war. ”
"That is, after that great battle, the immortal realm, the demon realm and the demon realm never appeared in front of people's eyes again. ”
"Cut, what do you think, that's all?"
The people in the crowd were not satisfied with the story told by the old blind man at all, and they were just entertaining, but of course they would not be satisfied with such a result.
It was already late when Gu Ruicai and the others came, and they didn't hear what the front part was at all, but now that the people had dispersed, there was no bustle.
"Look, I'll tell you, it's better to go back to the inn and have a good rest. ”
Gu Ruicai didn't want to continue shopping, and now he couldn't join in the fun, so he naturally wanted to take Gu Xuan back to the inn.
"I don't care, it's a big deal, I'll pay him to tell me stories again. ”
Gu Xuancai didn't want to go back to rest, and directly dragged Gu Ruicai to the old blind man's side.
"I'm sorry, I won't talk about it today. If you want to listen, it's early tomorrow. The old blind man sensed the arrival of Gu Xuan and the others, and spoke directly.
"I'll give you the spirit stone, and you tell me. Gu Xuan directly threw a spirit stone next to the old blind man's teacup.
"Today, I really can't say it, if you really want to hear it, come back tomorrow. ”
For Gu Xuan's spirit stone, the old blind man didn't care very much.
He has his own means to live in Hundred Poison City, he has his own rules, and he won't break his own rules because of a spirit stone.
"Okay, don't be vexatious. It's a big deal, I'll take you here again to listen to the story after this mission is over. ”
Gu Rui caught the angry Gu Xuan, he was really too childish.
"I'm sorry for the trouble, this spirit stone is considered to be our apology to you. ”
Gu Ruicai is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, this time they are rude, and he is embarrassed to come back with this spirit stone.
"Old blind man, I will not take your spirit stone in vain, and give you a piece of advice, don't enter the blue pool. ”
Gu Ruicai didn't care about the old blind man's words, they didn't know that there was danger in the blue water pool, and he didn't need to be reminded of this.
The goal of Gu Ruicai and his party is Bishuitan, no matter whether it is Longtan Tiger's Den inside, they must go in.
"Okay, what are you angry with an old man with him. People have their own rules, what else do you want. ”
Gu Rui took Gu Xuan away and began to educate him, and this incident also made him understand that he was usually too good to Gu Xuan, causing him to be a little presumptuous now.
Gu Xuan also felt that Gu Rui was a little angry at this time, and he didn't dare to say anything when he lowered his head, for fear that he would make him angry again.
Looking at Gu Xuan like this, Gu Rui suddenly didn't want to say much about him.
"Okay, let's do it today, it's getting late, we'll rest at the inn now, and enter the blue water pool early tomorrow morning. ”
This time, Gu Xuan did not refuse, and followed Gu Ruicai slowly back to the inn without saying a word.
The old blind man looked at Gu Xuan who was far away, and the two took a sip of the tea in the teacup, he knew that the fate of these two guys had long been entangled.
What he said just now was just a piece of advice to them, but since they didn't listen, there was nothing he could do.
