Continuing eastward, at dusk they came to the nearest town to the valley.

The town is called Dongxi, which is antique and is an ancient town that has been built for a thousand years.

According to the people in the town, this Dongxi Town is one of the earliest towns built by the mausoleum keepers in the imperial mausoleum.

When you enter the town, you can see a lot of big trees far away from the town, all of them are of the same species, the tree shape is peculiar, the roots are hanging and the claws are exposed, the winding and intertwined, and the ancient state is full of antiquity. The branches are dense, the large branches are stretched horizontally, and the small branches are obliquely curved. The leaves are dense and the leaves are green and shiny. At this moment, it is early summer in the imperial tomb, and the leaves of those big trees are mostly green, among which the young leaves are slightly reddish and light green.

Gu Meng reached out and picked a leaf bud that had not yet opened, it was an oval thing, and opened the outermost leaves, and the young leaves inside were taken off by Gu Ming, put them in his mouth, chewed slowly, slightly sour, but a little sweet afterward.

Liu Yi looked at Gu Meng with some curiosity, and finally reached out and asked for a piece.

When she took it in her mouth, Gu Meng laughed, "Don't you know this tree?"

Liu Yi took the leaves in his mouth, neither swallowing nor spitting them out.

Still, she nodded.

"It's Huang Jue. ”

Gu Meng said gently: "There are many such trees in the territory of Southern Chu Kingdom, and the same is true in Yingdu City, those children, every time in summer, they will pick some and put them in their mouths, which can be regarded as the taste of their hometown." ”

The people of Yingdu can't forget the taste of fish belly, but in the market, this yellow cypress is also a thing imprinted in their hearts.

Everyone has different memories of their hometown, and Huang Jue and Yu Yan are the things that the people of Yingdu can't forget.

Gu Meng said with some nostalgia: "The taste of the fish has changed, but the taste of this yellow cypress leaf is exactly the same as before. ”

Liu Yi couldn't help but remind: "This is not Yingdu. ”

Gu Meng retracted his mind and didn't say much.

Entering the town, walking on the bluestone slabs, the streets are not wide, and the buildings on both sides look very old, and they must be many years old.

From time to time, many alleys appear on both sides of the street.

Gu Meng walked towards an alley.

It was only a small alley of two or three people, but it was not short, and even hidden in the depths of the alley, there were still traces of some temples.

Of course, the shadow of the yellow cypress tree is indispensable.

Gu Meng and Liu Yi walked a long way, and when they walked out of the alley, they saw a storefront.

Some aromas wafted out.

Liu Yi looked at the thing in front of the door and frowned slightly.

Gu Meng explained with a smile: "It's fermented bean curd." ”

It is recorded in the history books that the Ning State started at the end of the Wei, at the beginning of a certain tribe in the southwest, good at making bean curd, when the Ning army first fought the world, the soldiers were a steamed bun with bean curd, so they repelled the country that was originally in the southwest border and established the Ning State.

Since then, although the conditions have improved, the thing of fermented bean curd has remained, and this is the favorite dish of the people of Ningguo.

Even if you enter the Imperial Mausoleum, the production method of this fermented bean curd has also been brought in.

Liu Yi asked a little puzzled, "How do you know so much?"

Although fermented bean curd is recorded in the history books and has been passed down, it is only with the passage of time that most places in this world have long since they don't know how to make this thing, and since they don't make it anymore, few people know it.

Liu Yi has been on the sea in the north since he was a child, facing endless wind and snow, and naturally he doesn't know it.

Gu Meng said with some deep meaning: "The people in Yingdu, everyone can do it. ”

Liu Yi sighed and didn't say anything, just a small episode.

Gu Meng walked towards the bean curd shop and bought one in a hurry.

Then the two of them walked towards the front, they did not intend to linger in this town, they must have thought of going to the valley.

It's just that you have to go to the valley and pass through this town.

Heading east, I soon came to a place else.

It was a large river that was not too deep, and on both sides there were stone slabs on which were several shirtless men, who were now pulling a rope.

A big boat, slowly moving in the river.

Liu Yi frowned, obviously not knowing what it was called.

Gu Meng continued to laugh and said, "This is a slender man. ”

Liu Yi was puzzled: "Yingdu also has it?"

Gu Meng nodded, and then said bluntly: "The Six Kingdoms in the South, now it has been determined that Southern Chu is the descendants of the Daning Imperial Family, so it is normal to keep these Daning things." ”

Liu Yi nodded, that's all she wanted to ask.

Gu Meng said with emotion: "Those people of Nanchu will never know in this life, it turns out that they are also the people of Daning. ”

Liu Yi asked, "Then do those who are emperors know?"

Gu Meng thought for a while and said calmly, "I don't know." ”

Liu Yi stopped talking.

When the two men left the river, they were about to enter the forest, and most of the trees in the forest were yellow cypresses.

Walking slowly all the way, Gu Meng opened his mouth and asked: "Your master, as one of the lords of the four seas, wants to come to the realm is also at the peak of the Golden Gate Realm, and wants to step into the threshold with one foot, so let you in, but your realm is average, how can you ensure that you get that secret?"

"Could it be that Beihai wants other cultivators in the Emperor's Tomb?"

Liu Yi's face was natural, and when he heard these words, he didn't have any expression fluctuations, but he just said nonchalantly: "Master, his old man is beyond the red dust, what should he do, naturally he has his thoughts, what do I care about as an apprentice?"

Gu Meng shook his head, he was very dissatisfied with this statement, "In fact, there are few of these people in the cultivation world who are beyond the red dust, you look at those monks in the Forgotten Dust Temple, their names are good, but in fact they are still rolling in the red dust? ”

Cultivators are in the red dust, and there are indeed few people who are beyond the red dust.

Liu Yi asked rhetorically, "If you reach my master's realm one day, will you transcend the red dust?"

Gu Meng didn't think about it, so he replied directly: "No." ”

This is what he thinks in his heart, and there is no need to hide anything.

Liu Yi's face was a little better, probably because he thought Gu Meng was like words.

Gu Meng didn't speak, he felt that there were people who were really beyond the red dust, such as the female sword immortal.

But at this time, there is nothing more to say.

Walking slowly in the forest, after walking for almost half an hour, a thick fog appeared in the distance, and the valley was in the fog, Gu Meng simply said a few words to pay attention to, and then continued to walk forward.

......

......

Su Su has become a celebrity among those cultivators in the valley in the past few days, and he had a heart-to-heart relationship with the young man of the Daying royal family named Chesu in the woods, and then he gained a friend.

The latter not only sent out a lot of things, but in the end, he introduced Su Su as a confidant, and came to find Su Su every once in a while, and every time he came, he must bring a heavy gift.

That is to say, as a disciple of the Daying Imperial Family, if he changes to a disciple of another cultivation sect, I am afraid that he will already be unable to bear it.

The gift given was too heavy, and even Wu Qingshui and the others were dumbfounded.

Of course, what they were most curious about was why they were also a young kendo genius, who respected Su Su and had no hostility.

When asked about Su Su, this bastard boy was vague every time.

No, as soon as Che Su's front foot left at this moment, Su Su's back foot was pulled by Wu Qingshui's ears, "Su Xiaothief, you bastard don't think that Guijian Pavilion is too small, do you, you want to go to Daying to be the minister of the dragon for that kid?"

Che Su is a member of the Daying royal family, and he is deeply loved by the old queen mother, it is really not good to say, one day he can ascend the throne and become the emperor of Daying, then Su Su, who has such a good relationship with him these days, is not an exaggeration to say that he is a right-hand man.

Su Su smiled and said: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, if I become a general or an official, the first thing I must do is to find you hundreds of sets of spring palace drawings for you to enjoy." ”

Hearing this, Wu Qingshui, who seemed to have seen the future scene, nodded slightly, and was about to speak, when he slowly came back to his senses.

He coughed and said sharply, "You bastard, do you really have this heart?"

Su Su rubbed his forehead and wanted to roll his eyes at his uncle, but thinking about his uncle's retributive character, he felt that something was wrong, so he said weakly: "I don't have that idea, even if I want to be the minister of Fulong, I will do it for Gu Ming's kid, but that kid has no luck, and he is not a prince, God knows if he is the prince of Daqi." ”

He muttered in a low voice, "If it's true, I'll do it as an official." ”

Wu Qingshui squinted his eyes, thinking about the feasibility of this matter, if Gu Ming's kid was really the prince of Great Qi, then according to his talent, it was still very likely to succeed the Great Qi Dynasty, and when the time came, it was really possible to make Guijian Pavilion the original Zheshan.

Even in Nanling, it is more than the Sword Court.

Gu Dao Zhenren is now in charge of Guijian Pavilion, this sword dao powerhouse, he has never paid attention to these things, and he is a model of casualness, but he doesn't care, other disciples of Guijian Pavilion can't reach his height.

Thinking of the pavilion master, Wu Qingshui remembered the incident when he wrote to Zheshan, and smiled slightly in his heart, this is fucking and Gu Meng and the fact that there is a master and apprentice, this is closer to each other.

Thinking of this, Wu Qingshui even laughed out loud.

Su Su looked at his uncle's lewd smile, frowned, and hurriedly threw down a sentence, "Uncle Shi, you are busy first, I'll go for a walk." ”

He was in a hurry to leave.

He walked very fast, and before Wu Qingshui could react, he disappeared without a trace.

Leaving the camp of Guijian Pavilion, Su Su plunged into the mountains and forests, thinking about finding something wild to eat, but after wandering for half an hour, he didn't see anything he liked.

"This pheasant is too small to be roasted and eaten. ”

"Look, this fucking hare, has he been bullied by his brothers and sisters since he was a child, and he looks so small, who is enough to eat?"

"Hey, you're a fucking boar, why do you look like a dog?"

"This won't work, little brother, you have to work hard. ”

"Hey, this one does!"

Su Su suddenly saw a black donkey in the forest, the black donkey's fur was like fine silk, and he knew that it was extremely supple when he looked at it.

The donkey's head is not big, but there is a little cunning in his eyes.

The main thing is that the donkey is really fat, its belly is almost down to the ground, and its limbs are extremely thick.

"That's right, if you eat a donkey, you have to eat this, and you know it's very spiritual when you look at it!"

Su Su's saliva almost flowed out, he walked towards him from behind the black donkey, and soon he was about to reach the black donkey.

Just when Su Su pulled out the long sword behind him and wanted to cut off the head of the black donkey with one sword.

The black donkey suddenly turned around.

It looked at Su Su who was holding the sword, and didn't escape for a while.

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, just a once, just a little. Su Su held his sword and said with a smile.

"I'll go to your uncle! You haven't died, how do you know it's not painful?"

Contrary to Su Su's expectations, this donkey actually spoke out of his mouth.

Su Su is not a short-sighted person, but he has really never seen such a thing, he looked at the black donkey, confused, "Your donkey has become a sperm?"

The black donkey spat at Su Su, and a black and green thing flew towards Su Su, Su Su was stunned, and for a while, he didn't even dodge.

When this mass of things fell on his face, Su Su screamed strangely, "I'll fuck you, you fucking grew up eating shit, it stinks!"

The black and green stuff was the grass that the black donkey had chewed in its mouth before, plus the taste in its mouth, mixed together, it was indeed not something that ordinary people could bear.

The black donkey smiled slightly, a row of big yellow teeth exposed, looking extremely cheap.

Su Su wiped the things off his face, didn't say much, and didn't have any fearful thoughts, he raised the sword in his hand and chased after the black donkey.

The black donkey is also very decisive, even when running towards the mountains and forests.

This black donkey is extremely fast, and it is not inferior to ordinary cultivators.

As a sword cultivator of the fourth realm, Su Su's speed was not slow, and he was not thrown off by the donkey for a while.

"Don't run the fuck, don't be afraid that you will be burned as donkey meat, I will write the word Su upside down!"

Shuttling through the mountains and forests, Su Su was already furious, in his life, he had never suffered such a big loss in a certain matter, even if Liang Zhao was better than him, he didn't think it was a big deal.

As for being on an equal footing with Gu Ming, not to mention.

But to this day, he was actually bullied by a donkey.

It's a shame.

This donkey is the cheapest donkey he has ever seen in his life, and the degree of cheapness even surpasses him.

"Little one, you can't do it, you're running too slow. ”

The black donkey had been running in front, but it seemed to be extremely leisurely, and there was a sense of leisure, and he made mocking remarks as he ran.

The green muscles on Su Su's head skyrocketed, and the whole person suddenly increased a lot of speed.

He scolded as he ran, "Your mother, you donkey, when I catch you, I will slaughter you." ”

"Forget it, you're not as fast as my little cousin, she's been born with three legs. ”

"I'll fuck you. A man and a donkey ran in the woods, and from time to time there were many sounds.

Unconsciously, a man and a donkey came to a cliff, the black donkey stopped on the edge of the cliff, Su Su finally caught up, standing in place panting.

"Hah...... Ha, you donkey, you can't run away, can you?"

Su Su took a deep breath, "I'll let you see today, how I, Su Su, killed the donkey!"

The black donkey snorted and said, "Come on, I'll kick you bastard." ”

Su Su's face remained unchanged, and he raised his sword and rushed over.

The black donkey looked at Su Su who ran over, and he didn't know what his thoughts were, but he seemed to shake his head with some disappointment, and then when Su Su was approaching, he used his hind legs and kicked Su Su in the chest, kicking it out at least a few feet.

Then the black donkey opened his mouth and laughed, "You're a fool!"

Before he could finish speaking, it jumped off the cliff and disappeared.

Su Su was kicked by both legs, breaking several big trees, and then stopped, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and it turned out that he was injured.

Su Su never thought in his life that he would be kicked by a donkey one day.

His eyes were closed, and he wanted to cry without tears.

If this is known, how can he maintain the prestige of his natural sword embryo?

He had a headache, and it was at this moment that he felt someone appear.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a good-looking and unseemly face.

It was the face of a teenager.

Su Su sat up and muttered, "Damn, this has been kicked out of the hallucination, has it been kicked in the brain?"

He shook his head vigorously, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw the same boy in front of him.

Su Su cried with a sad face, "Xiao Gu, why the hell are you here!"

Yes, the person who came was Gu Ming.

Gu Luo didn't expect to see Su Su here, and said helplessly: "Originally, I was just passing by, and I didn't expect you to be so boring, chasing a donkey." ”

Hearing this, Su Su's heart suddenly tightened, he stared at Gu Meng and asked, "You just saw me chasing a donkey, right?"

Gu Meng snorted, "What exactly do you want to ask?"

Su Su waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm just bored, chasing donkeys and playing." ”

This kind of nonsense reason, if any other cultivator said it, no one would believe it, only Su Su said such a thing, it had credibility, after all, this unreliable young man, he knew it very well.

Gu Meng nodded very clearly, and then said, "I thought you were going to ask if you saw it when you were kicked by a donkey." ”

Su Su suddenly turned his head and stared at Gu Ming, "You saw it all?"

"Okay, I didn't kick you in the head, but this can kick you, it should be a good beast, right?"

Gu Meng held back a smile and looked at Su Su.

Su Su hugged his head, annoyed for a while, but soon raised his head and said, "Xiao Gu, promise me, don't say it, my reputation can't afford to squander it like this." ”

His expression was very serious, and his eyes were full of pleading when he looked at Gu Ming, which reminded Su Su not only of the time when he went to steal the map of Wu Qingshui's Spring Palace.

I'm so damn sorry for my uncle, if time can come back, he will definitely not steal the spring palace map and hype it up, he has to think about his uncle.

Gu Meng also said very seriously: "Don't worry, I will never go out and talk nonsense." ”

Hearing Gu Meng say this, Su Su was a lot more relieved, after all, his friend, unlike him, was still very reliable in many cases.

"But I don't say it, and it doesn't necessarily mean that it won't get out. ”

Su Su waved his hand, thinking that he was talking about the black donkey, and said with some nonchalance: "That black donkey knows that it is a cheap donkey when it looks at it, and few people will believe what it says. ”

Gu Meng shook his head, "I don't think so." ”

Su Su snorted and looked at Gu Meng with some suspicion.

Gu Meng pointed to the distance, "I don't say, the one over there, not necessarily." ”

Su Su was stunned, and a strong uneasiness surged into his heart, he looked in the direction that Gu Meng was pointing to, and found that in the open space in the distance, there was a woman standing.

Liuyi.

Su Su was struck by lightning, and his face turned pale.

There's no damn time worse than the current situation, even if I was kicked by a donkey, I was actually seen by a woman.

It's a woman!

Where does your face go?

Gu Meng knew what Su Su was thinking, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "Don't be sad, that donkey is not an ordinary thing, I can understand this kind of thing when I am kicked by a donkey." ”

"Fuck you, Xiao Gu, every time you fucking appear, you have to hurt me once, are you and I destined to be compatible?"

Su Su wanted to cry without tears.

Gu Meng didn't speak, but the smile on his face did not decrease, he rarely had such a happy time, but his friend was like this, he could often bring joy.

Su Su said with a request: "I think that girl is very compatible with you, can you work hard to marry her back?"

Gu Meng frowned and said, "What do you say?"

"Then you two will really be able to keep my secret. ”

Su Su suddenly came to his senses, looked at Gu Meng and said with a smile: "That's it, the two of you are really compatible according to me." ”

"!"

Su Su lowered his head and sighed.

Gu Luo didn't talk much, and after waiting for Su Su to come over, he told him about the emperor's tomb, and Su Su talked to him about the problems in this valley.

"We have been waiting for a strong cultivator of the Golden Gate Realm to make a move, but those old guys are afraid of death, no one wants to take the lead, you have a good relationship with Daqi, go and let that King Hu make a move?"

Gu Meng frowned and said, "So until now, there has been no progress?"

Su Su nodded, this was originally a fact.

If you want to explore the valley, you must have strong cultivators in the Golden Gate Realm, but these strong cultivators are notoriously life-sparing, and it is absolutely impossible to get into danger.

So everybody's consuming.

There are only a few people who come into the Golden Gate Realm, who is not afraid of death?

"Stay up, stay up for a few more days, maybe someone won't be able to bear it. ”

Gu Meng shook his head and said, "The patience of these big people is far better than expected. ”

"By the way, I have something to tell you. Su Su suddenly laughed.

Gu Meng had some bad premonitions.
