A flat boat, down the river.

The blue sky is like washing, and the river is as green as blue.

At the bow of the boat, an old boatman with white hair and white hair looked at the river with cloudy eyes.

In the cabin, a middle-aged man with slightly frosty temples was lying lazily, his face was pale, only his eyes were clear, still like a child.

This middle-aged man is Guo Yang.

When people reach middle age, their temples have been slightly frosted!

Where is this still a monk in the middle of foundation building, and he is clearly an ordinary man.

In the past ten years, Guo Yang has suppressed his cultivation to the point that he does not show a trace of spiritual power, like a mortal, traveling all over the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu.

In the past ten years, Guo Yang has herded sheep and horses outside the Saiwai for several years, and also fished in rivers for two years.

He once mingled among the peddlers and pawns, drank wine in big bowls, ate meat, stole horses and sold horses, and looked like a man in the rivers and lakes.

He once climbed to the top of Kunlun, wandered the snow peaks of Chelian, and wandered the cliffs of Huayue, remembering some people and forgetting those things.

Ten years makes people old!

......

"Guest officer, after crossing the mouth of the three rivers, you are about to enter the sea. You'll have to hire a big boat, the old man's boat can't hold the waves. The old boatman said.

Guo Yang walked out of the cabin and stood at the bow of the boat, looking into the distance with half-squinted eyes.

"Uncle, thank you for giving me a ride. Guo Yang took out two ingots of silver and handed them to the old boatman.

"Guest officer, there are too many, and the old man doesn't dare to accept them. The old boatman looked at the two ingots of fifty taels of silver, waved his hand again and again, and said.

"You take it. The rivers are tight, and it is easy to have joint pain, and with this silver, you can buy some fertile land and spend your old age in peace. Guo Yang said lightly.

The old boatman took the money and docked the boat.

After Guo Yang went ashore, he took out a jade slip and pasted it on his forehead, carefully identified it for a moment, and then went all the way east.

Three days later, Guo Yang came to Immortal City.

The scale of this immortal city is not large, covering an area of more than ten miles, with a population of about more than 100,000.

Guo Yang had read in a book that introduced the secrets of the cultivation realm that the Immortal City was originally a large mortal city.

Later, because the Penglai Sect and the Xianxia Sect, the two major immortal cultivation sects on the sea, would recruit new disciples in the city every ten years, the monks who sought the opportunity to cultivate immortals gradually gathered, and the city gradually evolved into a city where low-level monks lived all year round.

After Guo Yang entered the city, he walked slowly on the streets lined with shops, stopping from time to time to ask about the price.

Guo Yang was a little surprised by the prosperity of Mixian City, and the low prices in the city also made him staggered.

"A pill taken during the Qi refining period can be bought with seven or eight spirit stones! If these low-level disciples of the Yuntai Sect and the Xuanyin Sect know about it, they won't be envious to death!" Guo Yang said secretly.

However, Guo Yang soon discovered a problem, that is, the elixirs, magic weapons and other items in the Immortal City were all at the level of the Qi refining period, and there were almost no things used by monks above the foundation building period!

Guo Yang thought for a moment and then understood. The people living in this city are all in the Qi Refining Period, and the items sold in the shop are of course mainly in the Qi Refining Period.

Guo Yang observed that the cultivation of the monks in the city was the first layer of the Qi Refining Period for the lowest, and the ninth layer for the Qi Refining Period was the highest. Among them, the sixth and seventh layers are the most.

Guo Yang quietly revealed his cultivation to the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Period.

Originally, according to Guo Yang's idea, it was enough to find a secret realm to cultivate steadily. But Aunt You encountered a little trouble in the process of recasting her body, and she felt that the Penglai faction and the Xianxia faction, which were Taishan Beidou in the immortal cultivation world, should have a solution.

In this way, Guo Yang came to Immortal City.

In the past ten years, Aunt You has pointed out his confusion in cultivation from time to time, and taught him the "Dust Recipe", so that although he has suppressed his cultivation for ten years, he has made rapid progress in the "Nine Recipes of Nirvana" and the cultivation of his state of mind.

This great favor, Guo Yang has to pay it back.

Guo Yang found a quiet small manor in the city of looking for immortals, and directly bought it at a price two or three percent higher than the market.

The estate is not big, but it is quiet.

Guo Yang personally repaired the originally dilapidated houses and corridors, and took care of the overgrown more than ten acres of gardens, planting all kinds of flowers and herbs and elixirs.

He dug a pond of three or five acres in size, transplanted more than 100 lotus plants, and raised more than 100 small fish.

In addition, Guo Yang used the remaining wood from the repair house to build a small hut near the pond.

Push open the door, it is a pond, watch the reflection of the clouds, listen to the sound of frogs, it is very pleasant.

Guo Yang made more than a dozen bookshelves with his own hands, and carefully placed the thousands of volumes of classics in the storage bag on the shelves, and then let out a long breath.

Some of these books were obtained by the Taiwang Sect back then, some were obtained by the Yuntai Sect and the Xuanyin Sect, and many more were collected from traveling to Kyushu in the past ten years.

After walking around the manor, Guo Yang was quite satisfied with himself, and felt that the great joy of life was to be able to do something he liked with peace of mind.

"Guo Yang, why does this manor of yours look familiar? Aunt You said with a low chuckle in the small bottle.

"Familiar, where have you seen a manor with the same layout?" Guo Yang scratched the back of his head and asked a little blankly.

"Isn't the Du family's girl's manor just such a layout? It's just that they cover an area of hundreds of acres. Aunt You smiled.

Guo Yang shook his head with a wry smile, and said in a low voice: "Let Aunt You laugh." ”

"Actually, that girl is really good, but the skin is too thin. Aunt You continued.

"I heard that the Penglai Sect and the Xianxia Sect will be recruiting new disciples in a few months. Guo Yang was reluctant to talk about the events of the year, and began to change the topic.

"Guo Yang, tell Aunt You honestly, do you like the Du family more girls, or do you like the iron heart more?" Aunt You asked reluctantly.

"Aunt You! everyone is a big lady who is loved by someone and someone loves her, I, Guo Yang, am a fart!" Guo Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said lightly.

"You've got someone who hurts too. Don't be afraid, Aunt You will always hurt you. Aunt You chuckled and said.

"Okay, okay, Aunt You hurts me. Guo Yang couldn't laugh or cry.

"I once cherished a person in my heart, and that person, even if I was asked to die, I would be willing...... It's a pity that providence makes people ......" Aunt You suddenly became sad, her voice became lower and lower, and in the end, it was inaudible.

Guo Yang was stunned for a while and sighed.

On the smooth water surface of the pond, Guo Yang saw his appearance, an ordinary middle-aged man, with slightly frosty temples, only his eyes were like stars, clear to the bottom.

The wind rose, the waves sparkled, and the faces in the water fluctuated, distorted, and finally shattered.

Someone is chanting a mortal phrase repeatedly: "Ten years of life and death." Don't think about it, it's unforgettable......"
