Chapter 210: On the Road
Time flies, the cold comes and the summer passes, the years are like a never-ending river, only listening to the sound of the rattle, but I don't know how many times the cycle has been repeated.
Gu Xiu looked at the tall city in front of him, and compared this mid-city wall called Zhaocheng with Xianshui City in his heart.
Ten years have passed since leaving the north gate of Xianshui City and going all the way north.
For some reason, Gu Xiu always thought of Xianshui City, every time after looking for Gu Shu in vain, she remembered the small courtyard of Gu's house in the South Gate Lane of Xianshui City, the last time she went back, Gu Shu's dusty room, as well as Gu Xuan's closed door and the scattered stage monks outside the door also took a certain amount of time to break the formation.
I don't know if Gu Xuan is out of the customs now, she should have already been out of the customs, and I don't know if she has succeeded in advancing to the late stage of condensation, maybe she has succeeded.
Didn't even himself successfully advance to the late stage of condensation a few years ago?
She often wrote to Gu Xuan, and the first letter was to ask her to go to Li Zhong and bring a message to Yi Linlang, she was afraid that she would not be able to supply the magic robe for a long time, and asked them Haihan, because her whereabouts were uncertain, she asked Gu Xuan not to reply.
Gu Xiu once again focused his attention on the city wall of Zhaocheng and came to a conclusion that even if Zhaocheng was a middle city under Fancheng and the closest one to Fancheng, its city wall was on par with the wall of Xianshui City, a small city.
It seems that the axe of cutting the sky offered by the city lord back then was dedicated to the idea.
There is nothing special about Zhaocheng, there is not much difference from the city that Gu Xiu has walked through over the years, Gu Xiu sold the two refined magic robes to the garment shop, although the price is a little low, but her craftsmanship is really good, and she still got 8,000 gold beads.
With this craft, and because of the small world of Wanmu Realm, there is no limit to the supply of materials, and Gu Xiu's hands have never been strained.
After more than ten days in Zhaocheng, I found the dart bureau and the communication office that were the best at inquiring about news in the city, and left Gu Shu's information, and then it was time to wait.
In the past ten years, every time Gu Xiu went to a city, the dart bureau and the communication office were places she had to go.
It's just that the feedback is all disappointing.
Ten days later, news came from several dart boards and communication offices, and the results were equally disappointing.
Gu Xiu lingered for another two days, then left Zhaocheng and went to Fancheng.
It's been ten years, she has been walking all the way, looking all the way, and finally she is about to arrive in Fancheng.
And Fancheng will also be her last place to look, if there is still no news of Gu Shu in Fancheng, she will stop searching.
Her decision was decisive and never changed.
When she decided to look for it, she set out on her own, never giving up, even though she had encountered more than one life-threatening danger along the way.
In her heart, she had a plan early on, to find Fancheng, no matter what the outcome, she will no longer look for it.
This is her explanation to Gu Shu, and it is also for herself.
Of course, if there is a chance to travel in the future, she will also inquire about Gu Shu's news by the way, but she will no longer specifically look for it.
Between Zhaocheng and Fancheng, there is no small city, but several small towns, and dozens of villages, the distance between villages and towns is very long, the road is mountainous and forested, the fields are sparse, this section of the road is very desolate and lonely.
Gu Xiu's walk has been ten years, although they are all under the jurisdiction of Fancheng, but there are many places she has walked, and such a road is nothing to her.
On this day, Gu Xiu found that there was an inn on the side of the road, and in this place where there was no village in front of the village and no store in the back, this inn seemed very abrupt.
However, this is the closest road from Zhaocheng to Fancheng, there are many caravans and travelers, and along the way, Gu Xiu also found this inn, so that although the place where this inn is located is barren, business should be good.
Gu Xiu raised his eyes and saw that the plaque with the four big characters "Yuezhao Inn" was hanging high on the door.
"This fellow Daoist, it's windy outside, come in, maybe it's going to snow tonight. ”
Gu Xiu was still looking at the name of the inn, the thick curtain in front of the inn was lifted, and out of it came a monk in the early stage of condensation, seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed as a man, he saw Gu Xiu, and a warm smile appeared on his face, and he came up and asked.
It's okay, I'm tired of living in the wilderness, and now that I've met the inn, Gu Xiu doesn't want to wronged herself.
She nodded, "Stay one night." ”
"Okay, fellow Daoists, please come in. The guy welcomed Gu Xiu in.
As soon as he entered the inn, a wave of heating came to his face, even if Gu Xiu was not afraid of the cold and was rushed by this heating, he still felt extremely comfortable.
The lobby on the first floor of the inn was very lively, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was full of people, Gu Xiu swept it casually, and found that most of the people in the lobby were mortals, and a small part were monks.
Gu Xiu found a table by the window and sat down, during this time, except for Bigu Dan, it was the beast he was fighting outside, and he roasted it at will, and even Xiao Ban and Di Feng felt tasteless in their mouths.
Gu Xiu likes to eat, but she is different from Gu Yue, she doesn't like to do it, and she can't do it.
"Master, I'm coming out. Xiao Ban watched as food was brought up, making a lot of noise in the spirit beast space.
"You two can only come out of one. ”
In front of outsiders, she didn't want to expose her full strength, and spirit beasts were also part of her strength.
"It's Spot's turn this time, and I came out last time. Earth Wind took the initiative.
Since they have discussed, Gu Xiu naturally has no opinion, and as soon as her mind moved, Xiao Ban appeared at her feet.
She had a spirit beast bag hanging from her waist, and others would only think that Xiao Ban came out of the spirit beast bag.
Within ten years, not only had she advanced to the late stage of condensation, but Xiao Ban had also become a second-order spirit beast.
As far as Gu Xiu's current cultivation is concerned, having a second-order spirit beast will still not arouse suspicion.
It's just that most people may not have seen the type of small spot, and as soon as the small spot appeared, it attracted the attention of several monks in the lobby.
When the guy was serving, he also glanced at Xiao Spot, who was lying at Gu Xiu's feet and eating happily, with a puzzled face, but he didn't say anything to ask.
Instead, he saw Gu Xiu looking at the map and reminded: "Fellow Daoist, from us to Fancheng, all the way to the north, there is a Sawtooth Mountain, when passing through the Sawtooth Mountain, Fellow Daoist should be very careful, No, this is it." ”
The guy pointed to a certain place on the map, which was exactly where Gu Xiu had just looked.
"Oh, tell me, what's so special about this Sawtooth Mountain?" Gu Xiu asked.
The guy should have been used to being asked, and when he heard Gu Xiu's words, he replied directly without thinking about it: "Sawtooth Mountain is actually not a mountain, but a mountain range formed by seven peaks connected together, these seven peaks are high and narrow, separated by deep valleys, and from a distance, they are arranged like sawtooth teeth, so it is called Sawtooth Mountain." ”
