Chapter 109 News

The beautiful woman standing on the stairs was Gu Lingyun, the shopkeeper of the Immortal Society branch in Xilu City, Yinzhou, and it was this woman who seemed to be gentle and weak but was actually scheming, who single-handedly planned the plot against the elders of the Xuanyin Gate Yuan Dan Realm, and at the same time made Shen Tai and Shen Shi's father and son abandon all their family business and leave their hometown, including Shen Shi's subsequent worship under the Lingxiao Sect, which is also Gu Lingyun's handiwork.

The encounters over the years, tracing back to the roots, are all in this woman's body.

Shen Shi stared at her, who seemed to have almost completely changed from the appearance in her memory, and sighed in his heart for a while, but this feeling flashed away, followed by a strong impulse, that is, he missed his father Shen Tai for so many years, maybe this woman should know his whereabouts! This thought was like a fire suddenly burning in his heart, so he couldn't help but step forward.

Master Wu's gaze was a little colder, and he looked at Shen Shi, who suddenly felt that there seemed to be a faint chill floating around him, blocking in front of him, as if he had a little resilience invisibly. His heart suddenly froze, and his footsteps immediately stopped, he didn't expect that this witch master was a monk with extremely high Taoism, but he didn't know what level he had cultivated, but Shen Shi already felt that he was afraid that he was much higher than himself.

And at this time, Gu Lingyun, who was standing on the higher steps, was stunned for a moment after hearing the word "Aunt Gu", her eyes flashed, and she looked at Shen Shi, and after a while, a pair of good-looking eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about it, and seemed to recall the past, after staring at Shen Shi for a few breaths, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, as if she remembered something, a trace of surprise flashed on her face, and then she showed a little smile, and said:

"Shen Shi?"

Shen Shi nodded and said, "It's me." ”

Gu Lingyun shook his head with a smile, held on to the railing, and said with a smile: "Is it really a coincidence in this world, such a coincidence, we will actually meet here again." ”

Shen Shi was silent for a while, calculating the time, he was only a twelve-year-old boy when he left Yinzhou, and then he entered the Lingxiao Sect and cultivated on Qingyu Island for five years, after which he accidentally triggered the golden fetal stone magic circle in the depths of the demon island to enter the demon realm, and spent another three years there, and returned to the human realm not long ago.

Counting up, the two of them have been separated from Xilu City in Yinzhou since that year, but eight years have passed in a blink of an eye, and he has grown from a teenager to a young man with a lofty spirit, just in terms of height, he is even half a head taller than Gu Lingyun.

It's just that although Gu Lingyun looks weak and charming, for some reason in the field, the momentum always seems to be centered on her, no matter who it is, she seems to be standing on a high place and looking down lightly......

At this time, Master Wu had already noticed that the two of them did not seem to be strangers, and with a little surprise, he turned his head to look at Gu Lingyun and said, "Shopkeeper, do you know him?"

Gu Lingyun smiled, his expression turned calm again, and said, "I saw it many years ago, and I can be regarded as the son of an old man." ”

Master Wu nodded, Gu Lingyun's gaze immediately fell on the demon pill in Master Wu's hand, glanced at Shen Shi again, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Let's go up and talk." ”

As she spoke, she turned around and continued to walk upstairs, Shen Shi hesitated for a moment and followed, while Master Wu frowned slightly, but soon said to Chen Li, who was still standing under the stairs:

"Okay, this business will be handled by the old man, you don't care. ”

Chen Li has been working in this branch of the Haizhou Immortal Association for many years, and he knows that this witch master is highly respected and has great power in the store, so he hurriedly agreed and retreated, while the witch master took this demon pill and also walked upstairs.

Shen Shi followed Gu Lingyun all the way to the third floor, and found that the layout here was different from the two floors below, looking like the scale and area were smaller, but there were only four rooms, and the decoration everywhere was magnificent, far better than the downstairs. Standing at the top of the stairs on the third floor, there were four men dressed in fairy clothes standing on both sides, looking like guards, obviously this floor is no longer a place where anyone can come up.

However, seeing Gu Lingyun and the other three coming up, these four men all took a step back at the same time and got out of the way, and at the same time showed a little respectfulness on their faces, and said in unison: "Good shopkeeper." ”

Gu Lingyun nodded lightly, then walked to the east side of the four large rooms on the third floor, pushed the door and walked in, Shen Shi and Master Wu followed behind her, and also entered this house.

The furnishings in the room are luxurious, even the wood of the tables, chairs and furniture seems to be made of expensive spiritual wood, and the small points are equally exquisite, the tassel window eyebrows, carved beasts and birds are all lifelike, and they are made by skilled craftsmen at a glance.

In addition, there is a large ebony table in the most conspicuous place in front of it, in addition to the four treasures of the study, there are also a lot of paper scrolls, such as Gu Lingyun's desk that deals with affairs on weekdays, and on the white walls on both sides, there is a row of bookshelves, on which there are many books, looking neatly arranged and spotless, it should be wiped and cleaned from time to time, which looks very elegant.

In the corner of the big house, there is a white crane copper stove, curling light smoke, faint and fragrant, quietly rising from there, making people feel refreshed after smelling, as if it has a refreshing effect.

Gu Lingyun walked to the ebony desk and sat down, watched Master Wu and Shen Shi also come over, his eyes first looked at Master Wu, and Master Wu put the demon pill in his hand on the desk, and said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, look ......"

Gu Lingyun smiled slightly and said, "You finish this business first, you don't have to worry about anything else, just follow the rules of the store on weekdays." ”

Master Wu nodded, then turned around, looked at Shen Shi, and said, "Shen Gongzi, right?"

Shen Shi also knew at this moment that the old man in front of him with white hair and half-bald head was not a mortal, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Boy Shen Shi, Master Wu calls me by my name." ”

Master Wu smiled, and didn't dwell on these polite words with him, but just took the demon pill in his palm, showed it in front of him, and said: "I have just said that this demon pill does have a rather rare crest pattern, Shen Gongzi is very knowledgeable, since he knows this statement, he must also know the origin of the name of this crest?"

Shen Shi pondered for a moment and said, "It is said that when a high-level demon beast is cultivating the Condensing Pill, if the demon power is impure and forcibly condenses the Dan, or if it is disturbed during the condensation of the Dan, the Condensed Demon Pill will have a flawed Dan pattern, so that after becoming a Dan, the strength of the demon beast will be greatly damaged, and the effect of the Demon Pill with the Dan pattern will also deteriorate." However, if the demon beast is cultivating, there is some kind of rare spiritual material that is extremely strong and even leaked and agitated by its body on weekdays, such as some high-level spirit grass, spirit minerals, or natural dark stone treasures, then the spiritual power will feed back to the demon pill, and it will also form a special pattern, which is the cross pattern. However, the pattern is different from the Dan pattern, and the demon pill with the pattern often contains more refined demon power, and the effect is greater than that of the ordinary demon pill. ”

The witch master stroked his beard and nodded slowly, his eyes already showed a little appreciation, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, young people can understand this, this insight is really rare." But do you know what kind of spirit is causing this pattern?"

Shen Shi paused for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "This is really invisible." ”

Master Wu smiled and said: "This is the Iron Wolf King Spider near its nest on weekdays, and there is a five-grade spirit grass 'Nine-leaf Alder', which absorbs the essence of the spirit grass for a long time, integrates it into the demon pill, and forms a pattern." You see, although the color of this pattern is dark, how many veins in the dark place resemble the veins of alder leaves?"

Shen Shi took it and looked at it carefully, and after a while, his face showed a look of heartfelt admiration, and he clasped his fists at the witch master, and said: "The master has extraordinary knowledge, Shen Shi's five bodies are on the ground, thank you master for teaching me." ”

Master Wu smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said nothing,

And after Shen Shi thanked him, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and in this moment he had already figured out one thing, the demon pill is here, and the demon beast is dead, so where is the nine-leaf alder that is as valuable as a five-grade spirit grass?

At this moment, he roared secretly in his heart, but when he turned his head, he found that Xiao Hei didn't follow, it seemed that he was napping on the floor outside the house, looking lazy.

"This dead pig ......" Shen Shi glared at it hatefully.

At this time, Master Wu opened his mouth and said to Shen Shi again: "Since everyone is an understanding person, I won't talk to you about it, this Kui Pattern Demon Pill is indeed stronger than ordinary Demon Pill, but the Iron Wolf King Spider itself is not a top-grade demon beast, and the condensed Demon Pill is often not full of demonic power, so if you want to sell it, our store is willing to sell four thousand spirit crystals." ”

After speaking, his eyes were blazing, but he looked at Shen Shi, Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, and immediately nodded, and said, "Thank you, master, then four thousand." ”

Master Wu nodded, turned to Gu Lingyun, who was sitting behind the desk and watched this scene with interest: "Shopkeeper, then I will go out and do this first, and after the account, I also brought the spirit crystal over and handed it to Shen Gongzi by the way." ”

Gu Lingyun nodded and said, "Trouble Master Wu." ”

Master Wu smiled, Shen Shi also thanked him on the side, Master Wu didn't say anything more, walked out of the room directly, and took the door with him when he went out.

※※※

In the huge room, only Shen Shi and Gu Lingyun were left at this moment, and after the wizard master went out, the atmosphere in front of and behind the desk suddenly quieted down.

Looking at Gu Lingyun, who still seemed to be looking at himself but didn't mean to speak, Shen Shi coughed, took a step forward, and said, "Gu ...... Uh, shopkeeper......"

Before the words fell, he suddenly heard Gu Lingyun say lightly: "Do you think I am older now than when you saw me?"

Shen Shi was stunned, but he didn't react to Gu Lingyun's somewhat clueless question, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Not old, your appearance is almost exactly the same as when I first met you, there is no change." ”

Gu Lingyun smiled, leaned back slightly, leaned back on the wide and comfortable chair, and said with a smile: "I just heard you call me Aunt Gu as soon as you met, and I thought I was really old now." ”

Shen Shi was silent, and at the same time, he faintly felt in his heart that when he saw this Gu Lingyun after eight years, it seemed that she gave people a much gentler feeling, compared to when they first met eight years ago, there was a lot less ruthlessness that was sharp and even spoke like a cold blade. But of course, he could only hide this thought in his heart, and at the same time said:

"Shopkeeper Gu, you misunderstood, in fact, it ...... I still remember when I was at the butcher's house in Xilucheng, my father asked me to call you Aunt Gu, so when we met just now, I subconsciously shouted out, if there is any rudeness or offense, please forgive the shopkeeper Gu. ”

Gu Lingyun quietly looked at the young man behind the desk, and the shadow of the young man standing beside Shen Tai many years ago seemed to flash in front of her eyes, and then gradually the two overlapped together, and after a while, she suddenly sighed softly, then waved her hand, and said:

"Do you know, if it weren't for the 'Aunt Gu' you called just now, it would not be possible to stand here now. ”

Shen Shi was a little stunned, raised his head and glanced at Gu Lingyun, Gu Lingyun smiled and said, "So, you still call me Aunt Gu." ”

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, and after the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he said, "Aunt Gu, do you know the recent situation of my father Shen Tai, I haven't had any news about him in the past eight years, it's really ......"

"He's alive. ”

Gu Lingyun suddenly interrupted him and said lightly.
