Chapter 161: One step counts as one step
In the col to the west of Lingshan Town, the father and son of the Gu family are cultivating the medicine field. The col was specially pulled up by the Jindan monk of the Sanqing Palace for help from Gu Xiong, and he also arranged a spirit gathering formation on the surrounding hills, so that the herbs in the col could grow faster.
Originally, Hao Zhicheng also wanted to let the people in the town come to help, but just in time for the three-month holiday of the Sanqing Palace, the new disciples in the palace came out of the palace to visit relatives, and there were no idle people in each family to help, so they had to give up.
But Gu Xiong and the three of them didn't care, after all, ordinary people came to help, and they might have been busy for a day, and they didn't have as much as the results they got in a few clicks, so it was better to reunite with their families. Moreover, Gu Xiong's family is a monk after all, and Gu Xiong is still a monk who is about to enter the Jindan stage, just using spiritual power to cultivate the medicine field only takes a few days, and it doesn't have to be someone else to help.
"Dad, when will it be finished!You see my arms are tanned!" Gu Chenxi asked with a pout.
Gu Xiong smiled helplessly and said, "Silly girl, where will you get a tan!" But we are in the mountain col, only a little sun shines at noon, and the rest of the time is not all shady! You just think what we do is too boring, and you want to find something new to do, right?"
Gu Chenxi smiled slyly: "Dad, I can't hide anything from you." But we've been working here for most of the day, shouldn't we take a break?"
Gu Dongsheng raised his voice not far away and said: "Little sister, how long have you been working before you are tired! Such a large area, it's not that I and my father have cultivated a lot, you look at the little place you have cultivated, it's not more than a fraction of mine!"
Gu Chenxi turned his head and grimaced at his brother, and said, "Big brother, what you said is not right, I have worked hard and intensively, which is not the same as your extensive cultivation method, maybe the herbs planted in my land in the future will be much more lush than those planted there!"
Gu Xiong shook his head and smiled: "You guys, you are still not tired enough, and you still have the heart to talk about it." If we work hard for a while, we will finish cultivating this medicine field, and we will be able to wait for Mayor Hao to come and accept it." If we finish as soon as possible, we can go back to rest sooner!"
After an hour, all the medicinal fields have been cultivated, and all that remains is to sow seeds. But Gu Xiong did not rush to scatter the seeds, but took out a jade bottle from the Qiankun bag, and poured out a blue-green pill from the jade bottle.
"Dad, is this what Elder Song said, is this the elixir that can promote the growth of plants? It doesn't look like there's anything special?" Gu Chenxi and Gu Dongsheng looked at it curiously for a long time, but they didn't find anything special about this blue-green elixir, not even a fragrant smell.
Gu Xiong patted the heads of the two people and said, "Don't smell it with your nose, this growth pill really doesn't taste at all, when I got it yesterday, I had been studying it for a long time, and I didn't find anything." ”
This growth pill, as the name suggests, is the elixir researched by Song Dongshu and Qingjing, which can promote the rapid growth of plants, as for what is used in it, Song Dongshu did not tell Gu Xiong, but just said that this elixir works for ordinary plants, and it has no effect on spiritual grass, and it can be used to give the herb garden, saving a lot of fertilization effort.
Gu Xiong rubbed the Growth Pill, which turned into a ball of blue-green powder in his hand, and then he sprinkled the powder in the air with his hand, and used a little spiritual power to spread the powder evenly in the medicine field. As long as this elixir is sown once, it can be managed for a month, which can save a lot of fertilizer time for ordinary people, and the efficiency of promoting plant growth is several times higher than that of fertilizer.
However, the number of this growth pill is not very large, and the value is not low, it is enough to be worth a fourth-grade spirit grass. However, the Sanqing Palace is now wealthy, and the value of a four-grade spirit grass is still not eye-catching, so it does not ask for spirit stones. However, this account still made Hao Zhicheng remember it in his heart, after all, the equivalent exchange is the most stable, otherwise the people in Lingshan Town are used to taking and asking for Sanqing Palace, which is not a good habit.
"Alright, Chenxi, you take out those seeds, follow your brother to plan where to plant something, and I'll go to Mayor Hao to see if there is anything that needs to be improved." Gu Xiong put away the Qiankun bag and flew to the mayor's mansion.
In the official residence, Hao Zhicheng was resting with tea, and when he saw Gu Xiong returning, he got up and asked, "Gu Daoyou, is the medicine field finished?"
Gu Xiong nodded and said, "Exactly, I just came to let Mayor Hao go and see if there is anything else that needs to be improved." ”
Hao Zhicheng raised his hand and said, "Then please ask Gu Daoyou to go first, and I will arrive later." "Although Hao Zhicheng has relied on the elixir to restore the appearance of his prime, he is still in the period of forging and has not yet introduced qi into the body, so he can't fly at all, and can only walk quickly on land.
Gu Xiong knew Hao Zhicheng's thoughts, shook his head and said, "Don't be so troublesome, I'll just take Mayor Hao over." ”
Hao Zhicheng said suspiciously: "You take me there?" Could it be that Gu Daoyou can now fly with the envoy carrying the magic weapon?" This is not that Hao Zhicheng looks down on Gu Xiong, but the monk in the foundation building period, just the imperial envoy magic weapon flying alone has to be single-minded, without the slightest distraction, but Gu Xiong said that he can now take Hao Zhicheng with him, so Hao Zhicheng asked suspiciously.
Gu Xiong nodded and said, "Mayor Hao don't worry, I'm just one line away from the Jindan stage now, so I can still be competent to simply fly with people." He didn't explain much, Hao Zhicheng is not a monk after all, and even if he explains a lot, he may not be able to understand it.
After a while, after Hao Zhicheng got down from Gu Xiong's magic weapon, he shook his trembling legs and said with a wry smile: "Gu Daoyou, you are really fast enough to fly, I almost can't stand it and vomit in the air!"
Gu Xiong touched the back of his head in embarrassment, and arched his hand and said, "Mayor Hao is frightened, I was too anxious this time, so I was a little distracted, and I asked Mayor Hao to bear with me." Not next time, I promise. ”
Hao Zhicheng rolled his eyes in his heart, and said secretly: "Is there a next time? This time I am about to toss my old bones and scatter them, what next time!"
Standing on the spot and recovering his ugly face, Hao Zhicheng followed Gu Xiong into the herb field in the col.
At this time, Gu Dongsheng had already taken Gu Chenxi to complete the sowing of herbal seeds, and was dividing different herbs into areas, making a good job between each area, and inserting a simple fence.
After the two saw Gu Xiong and Hao Zhicheng enter the herb garden together, they hurriedly got up from the shade of the tree and said to Hao Zhicheng: "Mayor Hao, come and see our results!"
Hao Zhicheng raised his hand and smiled: "Okay, okay, I'll come and see." After that, he leaned over to look at the soil, and then climbed the hill to the side and looked down for a while before nodding in satisfaction.
He said to the three members of the Gu family: "It seems that you have really spent a lot of effort and feet, just by taking a general look, you can see your intentions! Okay, I will record this achievement, and you can take back a report to the palace." ”
Gu Chenxi cheered and said, "It's finally done, but I don't have to be exposed to the sun anymore!"
Hao Zhicheng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Little girl of the Gu family, you are already a monk in the Qi cultivation period, how can you still be afraid of the sun?"
Gu Chenxi pursed his mouth and said, "Grandpa Mayor Town, don't you know that no matter what kind of girl she is, she doesn't like to be tanned?
Gu Xiong patted her head lightly: "How can you talk to Mayor Hao! ”
Hao Zhicheng didn't care at all, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Gu Daoyou don't have to be like this, this little girl's pure heart is exactly what the Qin Palace Lord said, she is a good child who is suitable for cultivation! ”
After a few more people talked and laughed for a while, Gu Xiong sent Hao Zhicheng back to the mayor's mansion, and the three of the Gu family returned to Sanqing Palace to wait for news.
Back in the Sanqing Palace, the cave where the Gu family lived was in a corner of the Dongfu District, surrounded by new casual disciples, these casual disciples had a great age span, and most of them were groups of people who knew each other, so this was also a very lively place in the Dongfu District. When it's time to rest, you can always see a lot of people chatting around or playing games with the Xuanguang mirror. They have more benefits than ordinary disciples, among which is the Xuanguang Mirror, which can be called the most interesting non-grade magic weapon in the Sanqing Palace, which can be used for both information and entertainment, which is their favorite thing.
As soon as he entered his own cave mansion, Gu Chenxi took out the Xuanguang Mirror and said to his father and brother: "Dad, big brother, I'm going to go to the little sisters to play games together, I won't come back at night to eat in the cafeteria with you, don't wait for me." With that, he trotted out of the cave.
Gu Dongsheng and Gu Xiong glanced at each other, shook their heads and sighed: "Dad, you don't care about her, every time you come back, you know that you are going to go to those new friends to play, and you don't know how to stay at home for a while." ”
Gu Xiong looked at his son and said, "It's not because you don't have your own friends and no one to play with you that you complain to me." I know all that little bit of your thoughts! Why, among so many female cultivators, there is not a single one that you can look up to?"
Gu Dongsheng covered his forehead and said, "Dad, what are you thinking? I'm not yet twenty years old, and my cultivation hasn't even reached the foundation building period, how can I think about these things! Forget it, I'd better go back to the house and study the classics that I printed from the Tibetan Scripture Building a few days ago." I won't tell you. ”
Gu Xiong looked at Gu Dongsheng's figure walking away, pulled the corners of his mouth behind him and said: "Cut, Lao Tzu got along with your mother at your age at the beginning, if it weren't for me and your mother always thinking about cultivating further, otherwise we would have you a long time ago." Thinking of his wife, his heart suddenly felt sad again, and he remembered that the person on the cliff should be imprisoned in the Sanqing Palace now, and wondered if he would find an opportunity to ask when he could see his enemy, so as to avenge his wife.
In the cave of the eighty-one spirit peaks of the Sanqing Palace, which was closest to the spirit field, Qin Guan and a few others were looking at the people on the cliff who were imprisoned in the formation. Qin Guan turned his head and asked Liao Xingchen, "Elder Liao, does your formation really work?
Liao Xingchen observed for a while and said: "Palace Master, this old thief has a firm mind, he is a difficult bone to gnaw, and the formation has not achieved any results for a while, so he has to wait for a few days." Wait until he smooths out his edges and corners, and he is not afraid that this old thief will not reveal the truth. ”
Helian Jun said a little helplessly: "Elder Liao, I don't even know you yourself who transformed my formation. ”
Liao Xingchen said with a smile: "Elder Helian, in fact, I haven't made much changes, it's just that I have added a lot of formations that restrict movement, plus some phantom formations, but although your formation is very effective for ordinary people, it is still a little not enough for this kind of well-trained members of the dark department of the Spirit Hidden Building." ”
Qin Guan pondered for a while, and then asked Qing Xuan beside him and said, "Qing Xuan, are what you said about those spies who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light true? I always feel a little ridiculous, there is actually the truth of the demon god. ”
Qing Xuan was also not sure: "Palace Master, although I also asked Elder Li Weihui, he told me that there is indeed an existence of a demon god, but I don't know how many years have passed, and I don't know how many cultivation eras have passed away with the wind, and he doesn't know what kind of thing this ancient demon god is." However, according to the records in ancient books, since it is an ancient demon god, it must be equivalent to the monks of the Mahayana period. Now that we have the entire Tianyuan, there may not be a Mahayana monk, if it is really done by the people of the Lingyin Building, then our Tianyuan must be the world of the Lingyin Building. ”
Qin Guan said: "Well, when I was promoted to Jindan, I once got a trace of the image, but in these fragments, I have never seen the shadow of the demon god. But for us, even if it's for ourselves, we have to cut off the conspiracy of Lingyin Tower, otherwise, as long as we don't fly out of the sky for a day, we won't be able to live in peace for a day. ”。
Although Qin Guan said so, in fact, what he was most worried about in his heart was the affairs of the demon race, after all, the demon god was too ethereal for him, and he didn't have any specific impression. But the demon race is different, it was genuinely fed back to him by the will of heaven and earth, and it can't be faked.
"Well, for the time being, I can only use the phantom array to obtain the information of this old thief. Qin Guan thought in his heart, just take one step at a time.
