The guard said: "Yes, there are, but most of them came back in the past two years, and the two years are very small, and in the last year, Daoyou is still the only one." ”

As the guard spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice and asked curiously, "Daoyou, I heard that there is an Abyss Beast in the Secret Realm of Luoying Valley? Is this true? Has Daoyou seen that Abyss Beast? What does that Abyss Beast look like? Is it a high level of cultivation? What powerful spells are there?"

As if asking a great secret, the guard threw out a series of questions while his eyes looked around for fear of being heard.

Gu Xiujue was amused, and replied to him, "If you really see the Abyss Fierce Beast in Xia, where can you come back intact?"

He replied like this in his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart, is the desolate beast he said to be Kui Niu? It's just that the change of Kui Niu in the end really makes me can't figure it out, and the golden bead is still dormant in her dantian, this problem is now unsolvable, but no matter how doubtful, she will not say this matter.

As soon as these words came out, the guard suddenly looked like a frog beast that had been punctured, and said in disappointment: "Yes, I want to diverge, Daoist friends, go in quickly, just go directly to the Zhaoxin Hall in the outer city." ”

This time when I entered the Shangcheng City Lord's Mansion again, the scene in the outer city was different from before.

As soon as you enter the palace gate, you can see several small roads have disappeared, replaced by a rather large garden, garden pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, all of which are not lacking.

Around the garden, there are white jade pillars standing at various intersections, indicating the various office halls in the outer city.

Even with the guidance of the guards guarding the gate before, Gu Xiu still turned around the huge garden several times, and saw the white jade pillar pointing to the entrance and exit between the inner city and the outer city, the white jade pillar pointing to the logistics hall, the white jade pillar pointing to the Dan Hall, and even the white jade pillar pointing to the kitchen hall, but he didn't see the white jade pillar pointing to the Laoshizi Zhaoxin Hall.

No matter how good his physical strength was, he couldn't find a destination after going back and forth in such a large garden, and Gu Xiu was a little anxious.

And in the spirit beast space, Xiao Ban and Earth Wind Bear could still fight each other at first, and Earth Wind Bear said that Xiao Spot, like his master, had been in Shangcheng for so many years, and he didn't even understand the direction in the City Lord's Mansion, and he was a big road idiot.

Xiao Ban retorted that it had been following Xu Ruoguang to stay in the inner city, and the few times he came to the outer city, he also stayed in the spirit beast space to heal his injuries.

What's more, once the Shangcheng City Lord's Mansion holds any large-scale banquet or grand ceremony, it will use a large-scale formation to change the layout of the City Lord's Mansion, just like the last Lady Noling's birthday banquet, in this case, it is really not easy to figure out the road and direction in the huge City Lord's Mansion.

Gu Xiu said secretly, if it was really a scene arranged with a formation, she would not be stunned at all, it would take some time to break the formation, but the layout presented in front of her now was not like the one during the birthday banquet of Mrs. Nuelling, there were traces of the formation, and now such a scene was the real pattern of the outer city of the City Lord's Mansion.

Listening to the dispute between the two beasts, Gu Xiuzheng wanted to find a monk to ask for directions.

I heard a clear voice coming from behind her, "This fellow Daoist, is he lost?"

Gu Xiu turned his head and saw a young male cultivator wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe standing behind him, condensing the cultivation in the later stage, with a pair of big and round eyes, a bright smile on his face, and two small pear vortices at the corners of his mouth when he smiled, it was an adult man with a baby face.

Such a face, no matter what the character is, at first sight, will always give birth to a little good impression for no reason.

Gu Xiu was no exception, she nodded.

The male cultivator laughed, and when he laughed, the two pear vortices deepened.

"I'll just say, just now I passed here, I saw that Daoyou are here, now I have gone to the kitchen, Daoyou is still hanging here, I think Daoyou must be lost.

Daoyou is not a disciple of my Shangcheng City Lord's Mansion, is Daoyou?

Gu Xiu said: "I participated in the selection trial of the City Lord's Mansion more than four years ago, and now that I have returned, I want to go to Zhaoxintang to report." ”

The baby-faced male cultivator glanced at Gu Xiu in surprise, "Daoyou is one of the one hundred and sixty-eight people who participated in the Luoying Valley Secret Realm Trial back then?"

Gu Xiu nodded, "Well, it's Luoying Valley?"

After thinking about it, she asked again: "I don't know if you know the one hundred and sixty-eight people back then, how many people have come back in total over the years, and how many people have been recruited as new disciples by the City Lord's Mansion?"

Although I had inquired with the gatekeeper before, the gatekeeper didn't know much.

The magic robe worn by the baby-faced male cultivator in front of Gu Xiuguan is extraordinary, and his cultivation is not very high, so he can wear such a magic robe, either because he has some ability, or he has a thick backstage.

Sure enough, the baby-faced male cultivator said with a smile: "A few days ago, I heard from the senior brother of Zhaoxintang about this, saying that it was one hundred and sixty-eight monks who entered the secret realm of Ying Valley back then, and now there are more than ninety people who have returned, but the things they brought back are really not very good, so only five of these people were recruited into the Holy Land of Jiuyun Mountain, as for the rest, some entered the inner city, some entered the outer city, and more than forty people were directly eliminated." ”

Gu Xiu nodded thoughtfully, and then asked the baby-faced male cultivator, "I wonder if you can show you the way?"

The baby-faced male cultivator smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm fine now, why don't I take you there." ”

This Taoist friend looked very calm, looking at her with a confident look, it could be that she had experienced a lot of good things this time, and she just followed the past to open her eyes. The baby-faced male cultivator turned his mind carefully.

"Then thank you Daoyou. Gu Xiu said politely.

On the way, Gu Xiu learned the name of the baby-faced male cultivator, his name is Yu Chen, he is a disciple of the inner city of the City Lord's Mansion, his qualifications are acceptable, although he was born as an immortal root, but a few years ago, through the Transformation Pulse Pill, he has built a low-grade divine vein.

"It's just that my comprehension is really average, even if it is the same exercise, my cultivation speed is always a little slower than that of my brothers and sisters with the same qualifications, just a little bit. ”

Yu Chen emphasized, glanced at Gu Xiu, and saw that there was no mockery on her face, so he breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and continued: "So I have to find another way to enter the Tao by cooking." ”

"Entering the Tao with cooking?" Gu Xiu thought of Gu Yue, who was also keen on cooking.

Four years ago, she made a fool of herself at Madame Noning's birthday party, and it was later said that the steward of the city lord's mansion compensated her.

Gu Yue also seemed to have participated in the selection trial of the City Lord's Mansion, but she was not in the same group as Gu Xiu, and I don't know if she entered the kitchen hall in the outer city in the end.

Gu Xiu thought about it and didn't speak immediately for a while.

Yu Chen was a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and asked, "Isn't it a little incredible?"
