Gu Qing's words made Duqi very happy, don't look at his fierce appearance, in fact, he really hopes to make some sincere friends. But most of the people around him were afraid of him or the smiling tiger, but Gu Qing couldn't see this, and Duqi felt that Gu Qing should be able to be a friend of the deed, rather than an ordinary general friend.

Duqi said: "Doctor Gu, I look at how old you should be, how about you call me Seventh Brother in the future, I know that you have a good relationship with Steward He, but he may not always be in Jiangcheng, if you have any trouble in the future, you must not forget to look for me, my brother does not dare to say anything can help you settle down, but he will definitely do his best." ”

Although Gu Qing has lived for many lives, and his experience is not much greater than that of Duqi, it is not a big deal to let him call Duqi Brother, he has never cared about these people, as long as he can save some trouble and facilitate his own goals.

Gu Qing nodded and said, "Seventh brother should be busy, so you don't need to waste time with me, we don't have to be polite to me." ”

Duqi smiled and said: "Brother Gu's words are very much in line with me, I'm afraid of those twists and turns." Then I'll take my leave. ”

He said goodbye, suddenly paused, turned around and hammered one hand on the palm of the other, and said, "I almost forgot one thing, Brother Gu, if you go out of the city recently, don't go to the nearby Zhouzhuang." ”

Gu Qing was slightly suspicious in his heart and asked, "Which Zhou Zhuang?"

Duqi said: "The Zhouzhuang twenty miles east of Jiangcheng, and there is also this Zhouzhuang around Jiangcheng." ”

Gu Qing let out an "oh" and said, "I rarely go to the surrounding villages, so I don't know much about these. What's going on there?"

Duqi said: "Didn't there be a plague in the city a few days ago? I heard that the source is there, and now all the people in that Zhuangzi are dead." Speaking of the people of this Zhuangzi, it is really unlucky, because the Mid-Autumn Festival will be more than half a month away, and almost all the people who came out of this Zhuangzi rushed back this month. And I got the news that it is said that the plague in this Zhuangzi is very weird, anyway, the government has been blocking the news so far, and no one who went in has been able to come out alive. Now it has become a ghost village. However, someone in a village has an accident, and it is estimated that they will soon be unable to hide it. ”

Gu Qing sighed in his heart, he guessed that this matter was either related to the monster or the demon, and the time was right.

He even suspected that the monster's previous strength had something to do with the death of Zhouzhuang's people.

Gu Qing nodded and said, "Thank you Seventh Brother for reminding me, I will definitely pay attention." ”

Duqi then took his leave.

After Duqi left, Gu Qing cleaned up and went out as usual. But this time I didn't go to the pharmacy, but in the direction of Zhouzhuang.

The official road leading to Zhouzhuang has indeed set up a pass, but the surrounding roads are not cared for.

Gu Qing found a hidden slope, just in time to see Zhouzhuang, which was quiet and dead, and there was indeed no one there.

He could even smell the smell of corruption wafting from there.

When I looked at Zhou Zhuang, I felt a little cool in my heart.

He hesitated, didn't get to the bottom of it, but glanced back as he left.

Gu Qing returned to the pharmacy, but his mind was always unsettled, and the matter of Zhou Zhuang did affect him. From an absolute sane point of view, this may be a good thing for him, because there are almost no people who originally knew Ah Qing.

It's just that he is flesh and blood after all, and he has lived in that place for a while, not to mention that the clothes given to him by the old lady are still there.

Without practicing or studying prescriptions, Gu Qing was quietly in a daze in the pharmacy.

After an unknown time, Gu Qing stretched his waist.

Not long after, someone came to buy medicine, Gu Qing asked a few words, and then grabbed the medicine to him with a faint expression, and then packed the medicinal materials on the prescription, and then closed the door.

Walking to the road, the subordinates of Fang Mansion actually found him, and it turned out that Fang Lao told him to go to dinner.

Gu Qing didn't want to refuse, after all, he hadn't seen Elder Fang for some days.

There was no tuantou bream this time, Gu Qing was slightly disappointed, but fortunately, the taste of the dish was okay, and after chatting with the old man for a while, he learned that Fang Wanqiu sent Xu back to Yunzhou slowly.

After eating the food and chatting with the old man for a while, the gloom in Gu Qing's heart dissipated, and he prescribed a medicinal diet prescription for the old man before leaving.

He could see that when Fang Wanqiu left, the old man was not in a very good mood, and if a person of this age was depressed, it would easily affect his physical health. Gu Qing's recipe was somewhat helpful to the old man.

Of course, there must be no shortage of good doctors around the old man, but Gu Qing can still do it in this regard.

After returning to the courtyard and checking as usual, and finding nothing unusual, Gu Qing began to study the prescription. For many days, Gu Qing spent his free time researching recipes.

Gu Qing discovered one thing, even if he didn't have the innate ancestor Qi as a medicine, the prescription still had the effect of improving his physique. He passed the test and also determined that Bing Xuanjin did not have any effect on the prescription.

However, this improvement effect is very subtle, and Gu Qing only noticed it by relying on superb medical skills and keen perception of the body.

This is obviously inconsistent with the last sentence of the prescription, which will not have any effect without medicine.

At the same time, Gu Qing continued to adjust the proportion of various medicinal materials in the prescription, and gradually found the best match, making the effect of the prescription much stronger, he made a pill, and then combined with the first-order breathing method, Gu Qing actually made his cultivation progress comparable to the progress of his first-order breathing method in the first layer of the Mixed Yuan Tongzi Gong.

Moreover, the second-order breathing method also progressed with the second level of the Mixed Yuan Tongzi Gong, allowing him to complete the fifteen rhythms of the second order, but he still did not find any specific effect of the second-order breathing method.

As his cultivation improved, the ice energy that Gu Qing could condense became more condensed, but it would still dissipate.

During this period, Duqi came twice, and the last time Gu Qing was sure that there was no problem with his body, Duqi completely relieved himself and decided to take the marrow washing solution, which required a period of retreat, so he would not come to Gu Qing again in the near future. And the shopkeeper of the antique shop didn't come to Gu Qing, Gu Qing didn't know if this business was cold, but he didn't care much about it, and just had more time to study and practice.

After Gu Qing realized the benefits of the prescription, he still wanted to explore the reason.

He wanted to know if it was effective by taking the medicine himself, and it didn't work on other people, and if so, then it meant that he had something similar to the Innate Ancestor Qi in his body, or that he had the Innate Ancestor Qi himself.

Gu Qing first tried it on the fish he raised, but found nothing abnormal, and then tried it with stray cats and dogs, but he didn't find anything strange.

He tried to sneak into the prison again, found a death row prisoner and fed a pill, but still found no effect.

Gu Qing also did many safety tests that he could think of, and finally basically determined that the pill seemed to be only effective for him at present.

Putting aside the exploration of the pill for the time being, Gu Qing decided to start studying Bing Xuanjin. As the Ice Xuan Jin he practiced became more and more condensed, Gu Qing had an idea of improving his combat effectiveness.

But before he could start implementing it, He Qing sent a subordinate to find him.

It turned out that it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and He Qing was going to hold a poetry meeting.

Gu Qing thought about it, but still agreed, after all, the way of cultivation, one by one, it is not bad to go out to breathe.

When he arrived at He Qing's Qingqiu Pavilion, Gu Qing was really shocked.

He originally thought that He Qing held a poetry meeting, and it should be mostly literati and, with only a few beauties to embellish.

After all, it's a poetry club!

But he underestimated He Qing, and the eyes full of warblers and warblers Yanyan shook Gu Qing's eyes, is this definitely not the Yihong Courtyard of the Grand View Garden?

Maybe that's the happiness of the rich.

Gu Qing recalled, he seemed to be no better than He Qing for so many lifetimes. It's just that this kind of life will still be boring in the end.

"Color is emptiness, emptiness is color......"

Gu Qing silently recited a few words of the Heart Sutra in his heart to calm down the ups and downs of his heart. This kind of boring life does not attract him.
