After the auction, a group of people waited, left and stayed. The people who walked were standing in the corridor and couldn't get on the table. Those who remained were the rich people sitting in the center, but only a part, not all of them. Although Gu Jiajie is friendly and easy to make friends, not everyone can talk freely with him.

Shi Youen and Mingxin were also about to get up, and the beautiful host, who was just presiding over the auction, came over with a smile.

"Dao Chief, my family Gu always has an invitation, please move to another courtyard. ”

Shi Youen nodded, and together with Monk Mingxin, he went out of the hall with this beauty and went to another courtyard.

After the auction, there was a small party here, there were not many people, but they were all figures with heads and faces in the rivers and lakes today. It's not like the rich businessmen can come in. After all, the people here are not talking about how to do business, but about the rivers and lakes. Although some martial arts people are also good at business, there is still a big gap compared with Gu Jiajie.

After entering the courtyard, I saw that Gu Jiajie was already standing at the door of the hall, waiting for Shi You'en and Mingxin here. After he saw Shi Youen and Mingxin stepping into the courtyard door, he hurriedly walked down the steps, and greeted those people in the world outside, this time he clasped his fists with both hands, put them in front of him and arched his hand: "Gu Jiajie, welcome Daoist Shi, Master Mingxin is here." "There is a lot of respect in the words.

People in the rivers and lakes have their own set of rules, and they don't have to shake hands to express friendship when they meet, but they continue to this day.

Shi Youen hugged his fists and returned a salute, and Mingxin clasped his hands together and said, "Master Gu doesn't have to be polite." ”

Gu Jiajie got out of the way, stretched out a hand inward, and said, "Two please." ”

Shi Youen also nodded politely, and also stretched out a hand and said inward, "Please." ”

The three of them walked through the courtyard and came to the hall. The interior of the house is antique, the whole house is made of wood, the eaves and beams are made of ancient mortise and tenon structure. The incense burner was lit with incense, and the wisps of smoke that made people feel comfortable and contemplative were emitted through the gauze. A set of Ming-style middle hall, placed in the center in a regular manner, and the seats are already full of guests.

Shi You's grace and clear heart came to the side of the main throne and achieved a position not far from the main seat. Gu Jiajie sat down on the main seat and said, "Hurry up and serve tea." ”

The respectful subordinates, holding the tea tray, presented authentic Longjing tea to everyone present. The tea is full of fragrance, the entrance is fragrant, and the taste is very memorable.

In addition to Gu Jiajie and Shi Youenmingxin, the rest of the people in the house are also people with heads and faces in the rivers and lakes today. There are old rivers and lakes, and there are also newly famous martial arts masters, but everyone is famous and decent, and there are more or less forces behind them, and it is rare for a lonely person to walk alone in the rivers and lakes. In today's world, it is rare to see a lone ranger riding a horse and whipping a horse.

After chatting for a while, Shi Youen cut to the topic and explained the purpose of his trip.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if you know the Duanmu clan thousands of years ago?"

The one sitting across from him was a newcomer to the Huashan Sect, in his early thirties, and his swordsmanship was already superb. He immediately spoke: "The Duanmu clan that the Dao Chief said, I heard the older uncles in the door say it, and I have heard a little about it. ”

There are also old rivers and lakes who belong to the Northeast Martial Arts Association and are the descendants of the former Manchukuo Small Knife Association. He opened his mouth and said: "The Duanmu family, there has been a great power, it seems to be called what is called nine, it is said that this person has superb skills, he is invincible in the world, but he has a perverse personality and acts in an unusual way. ”

The rest of the people also spoke in twos and threes.

"Didn't that man get killed later?"

"Yes, ancient books record that the man did not agree with the emperor at that time, led the clansmen, entered the 100,000 mountains, sat up the lord of the 100,000 mountains, acted neatly and neatly, and fought against the court everywhere, and was later exterminated by the court and the heroes of the rivers and lakes. ”

"Kill the head and bleed, the chickens and dogs are not left. ”

"Yes, it seems like that's what happened, everyone was killed. ”

Gu Jiajie had also seen the records of the Duanmu clan in the ancient history of martial arts, and he said: "Daoist, what you said should be the martial arts power named Duanmu Shenjiu, right? Legend has it that this person has cultivated to the heavens and the earth, and he is no longer a simple martial artist in the world. It seems that he has obtained an ancient book, and then created his own exercises, the true air flow route, which is abnormal and very different from orthodox martial arts. ”

A woman sitting by the door, who looked to be in her fifties, took over and said, "So, it's the big devil who has gone crazy." ”

Gu Jiajie wanted to speak and stopped, but did not say anything more.

Shi Youen said solemnly: "Everyone, I have something to tell you." ”

"Oh, what is it, worthy of such solemnity. "The knife will be passed on to Shi Youen.

Shi Youen drank a cup of tea and was about to speak, when the monk Mingxin said loudly: "A few years ago, when this bull nose was wandering, I heard that there was a white tiger in the mountains in a western place. ”

Shi Youen nodded and looked at everyone one by one, "I think everyone knows that this white tiger is the totem of the Duanmu clan thousands of years ago. ”

"Is there really such a white tiger?" asked the woman sitting in the doorway.

Shi Youen shook his head again and said, "I went to look for it, but I didn't find it, but that day I felt a strong aura, on the top of a mountain not far from me. ”

"Haha, Dao Chief, how strong is it, more powerful than you?" " The swordsman of the Huashan faction joked with a smile.

Shi Youen also smiled and replied: "Compared with that person, I'm afraid it's not half of his strength." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. This Shi Youen, but the first person at the top of the list of the eight masters, if half of that person's strength is stronger than Shi Youen, then how strong is this.

Gu Jiajie said in a low voice: "Dao Chief, although in the current world, many strange people in the rivers and lakes live in seclusion among the mountains and rivers, but I think there are so many people who are so much higher than you, I'm afraid there are not many, right? I don't know who this mysterious person you are talking about will be." ”

Shi Youen looked into the eyes of everyone present and said word by word, "Duanmu Shenjiu!"

The name was in an uproar, and everyone was in disbelief.

"Impossible, how many years have this been, thousands of years have passed, thousands of years have passed, the dynasty has changed for thousands of years, the world has risen and fallen, and the appearance of the world has changed several times, how can this Duanmu Shenjiu still be alive. ”

"That's it, Daoist, have you seen the real person?"

Shi Youen shook his head, saying that he had not seen it.

"Then how do you say Duanmu Shenjiu, it's really a joke, it's been thousands of years, and he still doesn't die?

"Immortality, haha. The heir of the Little Knife Society laughed, and then his smile gradually stopped, and he looked at everyone and said blankly: "Immortality!"

"Legend has it that Duanmu Shenjiu got an ancient strange book, could it be that in that strange book, there is a record of the method of immortality? But this is not right, if it is in ancient times, there is a method of immortality, then why have the warriors of ancient times not lived until now?"

The woman sitting at the door pondered for a while and said, "Li Bai has a poem, it is the white jade capital in the sky, the twelve floors and five cities, the immortals touch my top, and the hair is immortalized." Do you know the legend of the twelfth floor of the five cities?"

Gu Jiajie read through the books, and immediately replied: "The fifth floor and the twelve cities, the legend is that they are the residence of the gods, and they existed in Kunlun during the Yellow Emperor period. ”

"It's just a legend from ancient times, what's so strange about this. Monk Mingxin spoke.

Someone understood the meaning of the woman's words sitting at the door, looked at her and said: "The Yellow Emperor ascended to immortality, could it be that in ancient times, those people who learned the method of immortality all went to the fifth floor and twelve cities?

The woman frowned and said, "I'm also guessing, I can't take it seriously." ”

The crowd whispered to each other.

"Is there really an immortality?"

"No, you believe it in such a mystery?"

"Before practicing martial arts, I didn't know the depth of potential in the human body, but after seeing Master Edgeworth flying, I realized that the martial arts path is full of unexpected things. You say, at the end of the martial arts path, could it be this immortality and ascension to immortality?" asked the leader of the Huashan faction as he looked at everyone.

Gu Jiajie was silent, and his heart became more and more surprised. He stepped into the martial arts relatively late, and in the past, he was just an ordinary businessman, who didn't believe in these things at all, let alone the myths and legends of the gods and ghosts. But as he practiced martial arts, he found that the master taught him that it was very easy to practice, and he knew that for people, he was really born to practice martial arts.

Therefore, over the years, in his spare time, he has read a lot of books, flipped through ancient books, and read the history of martial arts, and he once saw a record of immortality in an ancient book. The book makes it clear that the method of immortality existed for an unknown number of years.

Now that Shi Youen said that Duanmu Shenjiu is still alive, could it be that this method of immortality is about to appear?

The leader of the Huashan faction looked at the silent crowd and said with a smile: "If the man that Dao Chang Shi said is really Duanmu Shenjiu, then I'm afraid this immortal technique is also true!"

Everyone looked at Shi Youen again, Shi Youen nodded, and said: "I can be sure, that is Duanmu Shenjiu, because that breath gives me a very special feeling, and I also met a child in a competition, his body True Qi running route, going upstream, the breath emitted by True Qi is exactly the same as the one I encountered in the mountains that day." ”

The heir of the Little Knife Society glared and said, "What, do you mean that kid is the descendant of Duanmu Shenjiu?"

Shi Youen nodded. Monk Mingxin yawned boredly on the side, but he couldn't raise any interest in the topics that everyone was interested in.

The heir of the Little Knife Society shook his head and said, "Let's not care if that kid is the descendant of Duanmu Shenjiu, let's find out first, whether Duanmu Shenjiu is really alive." ”

There were different opinions in the audience for a while, and they were all discussing the authenticity of the method of immortality. Shi Youen looked at everyone and complained bitterly in his heart. His original intention was to remind everyone that the Great Devil of a thousand years ago is still alive, and they must be careful not to be set off by the Devil. But now, everyone is chanting the method of immortality.

Man's desires are truly greater than all fear. is not worried about the demon killing innocents, but they are all interested in immortality.

It wasn't until late at night that everyone dispersed one by one, and Gu Jiajie, who had sent all the guests away, returned to the house and looked at Shi Youen and the others, who had not left.

When the person is gone, he is also clean, and the monk Mingxin said: "I'm hungry, my mouth is hungry, I'll go find some meat to eat." Gu Jiajie nodded with a smile, picked up the phone and instructed the restaurant to get some food for Monk Mingxin.

After Monk Mingxin went out, Shi Youen looked at Gu Jiajie and asked, "Why didn't the old alliance leader come today?"

Gu Jiajie replied: "I'm sick, I'm afraid time is running out." ”

Shi Youen sighed and frowned. Then he said: "Suitable people, there is no sense of crisis, now the situation is sensitive, Yu Ding is trying his best to suppress the people in the rivers and lakes, the old alliance leader established the martial arts alliance, and everyone huddles together to keep warm, so they can barely overpower Yu Ding." Now that Duanmu Shenjiu has reappeared, everyone is indifferent to this demon, but they are all interested in the immortality technique. ”

Gu Jiajie shook his head with a wry smile, took a sip of tea and said: "People, they are all greedy, with the ability to surpass ordinary people, they want to dominate one side, and after they dominate one side, they want to be immortal and immortal, and there is no end to desire." ”

Shi Youen thought thoughtfully, thought about it for a while, and said firmly: "You are high-minded, and I would like you to inform everyone about the current life of Duanmu Shenjiu, I am soft-spoken, and I have the reputation of being the first of the eight masters, but no one believes what I say." ”

Gu Jiajie nodded and replied, "I believe it." ”

Shi Youen raised his head and looked at Gu Jiajie, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
