Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Last Step
When it was finally time to say goodbye, Gu Zuo felt very uncomfortable, the whole three hundred spirit stones, still did not rush to the end, he planned to leave.
The housekeeper took out a burden, which was filled with six hundred Huang Chengcheng coins, and pushed the money in front of Gu Zuo: "This is the last month's house money, since Gu Gongzi is leaving Xunzhou, my Honggu will return the money to Gongzi." ”
Gu Zuo waved his hand to stop: "I have already paid, where is the reason to return it, and I didn't inform it in advance, it's mine." ”
The housekeeper didn't say anything more, rewrapped the money, thought about it, and said, "Can Gu Gongzi stay for a few more days?"
Gu Zuo asked, "Something?"
The housekeeper said: "May 15th is Honggu's birthday, and I originally wanted to invite my son to have a drink together." ”
The first thought that came to Gu Zuo's heart was not the birthday banquet of the master's family, but pondering, four days later...... Four days...... You can also cultivate another spirit stone......
He was a little stunned, and he felt something, so he couldn't help but mutter: "Try one last time?"
“...... What is Childe going to try?"
"Ah...... It's okay, my own business, that's okay, I'll leave after eating your master's birthday feast. ”
The housekeeper was very pleased: "Great, I'll hurry up and report to Honggu." By the way, this time, please don't pay again. ”
Gu Zuo has nothing to do, he has lived for a year and eleven months, and he has paid his family nearly fourteen yuan for the house, and six yuan for food, adding up to twenty yuan, which is not less. Gu Zuo didn't know if the family relied on the body saved by Honggu back then, or if there were other ways to make money, but if they didn't worry about eating and drinking, they wouldn't rent the garden to themselves.
It can even be said that Gu Zuo has been raising them for the past two years.
He pulled it with his storage wrench, picked out a spirit stone casually, spread it on his palm and looked at it for a moment, the spirit stone exuded a crystal and restrained light.
That's you, three hundred and one.
Gu Zuo clenched his palms and lay down......
The spiritual power was brought out by an invisible track that surrounded the body, penetrated into the meridians, and entered the sea of qi according to the route and order of the search for the soul, and was transformed into the true qi of the search for the soul. One by one, and finally in a line.
I don't know how long I practiced, Gu Zuo only felt a shock all over his body, this normally smooth passage seemed to be congested, gradually slowed down, and began to become difficult to operate. In the end, the remaining half of the spiritual power in the spirit stone could no longer enter, and dissipated into the void.
Gu Zuo opened his eyes and got up, and breathed a long sigh of relief, only to feel that the Sou Ling True Qi in the sea of qi seemed to be rotating on its own, as if it was about to change, but it was always a little bit worse.
It turns out that your sea of qi is not a bottomless pit, and there are times when it overflows!
Spread out the palm of his hand, looked at the spirit stone in his palm, and used about half of it.
Three hundred and half pieces! minus half of the dissipation, it was a little over one hundred and fifty yuan, which was almost twice the average value of the disciples of the Yunmeng Sect.
This is the accumulation of spiritual qi in the sea of one's own qi in the early stage of qi refining.
Gu Zuo couldn't help but smile bitterly, he is really a big eater of spirit stones, others can advance by eating one, but they have to eat four pieces, waste two pieces and save two pieces, how can they afford it?
Whether you can afford to eat or not is a matter of the future, and the problem we are facing now is how to survive this small hurdle from the early stage to the later stage.
Regarding the breakthrough of the cultivation level, the various exercises in Gu Zuo's hands did not make specific and subtle guidance, but only vaguely stated that this was a personal opportunity and needed a mysterious and mysterious understanding. What perception is different from person to person.
At this point, the retreat is only one last step. Gu Zuo planned to strike while the iron was hot, and went to the front yard to inform him, indicating that he planned to continue for another month, and he would not refuse if he wanted to come to the master's house.
Pushing open the door, I found that it was late at night, and it was obviously not the time to disturb, so I simply waited for the birthday banquet.
Taking advantage of the night, Gu Zuo planned to go for a walk by the river, and also sorted out his cultivation experience, pondering and pondering where to start with this mysterious and mysterious insight.
So he walked to the back door leading to the river, ready to take off the latch.
As soon as his hands touched the latch of the door, he felt movement outside the wall, the sound of fluttering clothes sounded, and a black shadow jumped in from outside the wall, turned around Gu Zuo's head in a dashing circle, and fell behind him.
Gu Zuo was stunned, and when he looked back, this person was wearing a long sword at his waist, with his back to Gu Zuo, and was looking around, but he didn't look at what was going on behind him.
I saw the black-clothed swordsman put his fingers to his mouth, learned a cat meow, and jumped into the two of them one after another from outside the wall, the man in white was lightly on the wall with one hand, lifting the weight lightly, the body of the man in green clothes rotated, and the body was elegant, and the two of them all fell in the garden, standing beside the black-clothed swordsman.
Gu Zuo stood behind them, but the three of them didn't know it, and Gu Zuo didn't notice the invasion of true qi in the sea of qi, these three people were undoubtedly martial arts people who had not entered the threshold of cultivation.
Three swordsmen? Three thieves?
I saw that the three of them were calm and relaxed, and were about to stride forward, when the small door connecting the garden to the front yard suddenly opened, and the housekeeper and the servant woman appeared from the door and stood opposite the three of them. The butler carried an axe to chop wood, and the servant woman held a rolling pin and looked at the three people opposite with solemn faces.....
Then, the two of them saw Gu Zuo behind the three people opposite, and their faces were shocked.
The appearance of the butler and the servant woman caused the three swordsmen to retract their feet from each other, and their movements were uniform.
The black-clothed swordsman in the middle let out a strange laugh: "Mountain splitter, red flower girl, think you will live in peace by hiding here?" I didn't expect it, our brother still found it, hehe!"
The housekeeper said in a deep voice: "Huayue Three Divine Swords, if there is anything, just come at us, don't embarrass irrelevant ordinary people." ”
The black-clothed swordsman laughed: "What are you doing here? What we want is Honggu! Hand Honggu over, spare you from death, each of you will cut off an arm, and escape!"
The housekeeper remained silent, and pointed his finger inward: "If you have the ability, come and fight, don't stand there and say cool words!"
The servant woman was also a little nervous, danced the rolling pin in her hand, and said, "Do you have the courage to come over to eat and fight, and hide so far away to speak your tongue?"
Huayue Sanshen Sword laughed loudly, and the black-clothed swordsman in the middle said: "Since you are looking for death, don't blame my brother for being unkind and righteous......
There was a muffled sound of "bang", and the black-clothed swordsman suddenly fell to the ground.
In the darkness, the white-clothed swordsman next to him didn't understand, and was about to squat down to investigate, when there was another muffled sound, and he also lay down.
The swordsman in Tsing Yi on the right hand shouted: "You are ......"
Silently, a thick door latch instantly enlarged in front of his eyes, and there was nowhere to dodge with such speed, fierceness, and strangeness as he came. There was a pain in his head, his eyes were dark, and he fainted.
Gu Zuo threw the latch on the ground, bent down and kicked them one by one, and said, "Huayue Three Divine Swords, what kind of thing?"
The housekeeper and the servant woman were stunned, and their mouths were stunned for a long time, unable to close.
Gu Zuo suddenly couldn't help laughing out loud, he didn't expect that his fate was here, and he saw three thieves, so he broke through!
The word chance is really mysterious, like a meteor crossing the sky, if you catch it, it is yours, and if you don't have time, it has nothing to do with you. Since it is a meteor, it also means that there is no reason at all, and it can flash from any angle, bringing different inspirations to different people.
Gu Zuo's fate came from the nickname "Huayue Three Divine Swords", hearing this nickname, he suddenly felt a lot of emotion, a lot of indescribable things flashed in front of his eyes, he wanted to laugh at the same time, but also felt infinitely melancholy, under the hook of this emotion, the sea of qi began to move, and the Sou Ling True Qi, which had been in a state of rotation, turned faster and faster, and began to tear, entangle, and twist into a ball.
In an instant, the true qi was as thick as honey, completing the breakthrough of this small level and entering the late stage of qi refining.
