Chapter 54: Distinguished Guests Come to the Door
Remember [Lewen] in a second. Alas, for you to read wonderfully.
No. 73, Linhe Street, south of Meizhou City, Du's coffin shop.
It has a sect number and a store name, but if an outsider comes here alone without the help of the land snake, it will take a lot of effort to find it.
As the name suggests, Linhe Street faces the river, the side close to the Meijiang River is all wooden buildings, the shape is the same as the ancient stilted building that Gu Xiaozhao saw on the earth, the long wooden pillars stand on the riverside, the wooden building is located on the river surface, mostly two floors, the first floor is a shop, and the upper floor is a residence.
The topography of Linhe Street is quite complex, and it is not a long street that runs from south to north.
This street runs along the Meijiang River, winding like a centipede, with many alleys connected to it, just like a centipede's long feet extending out of the belly, I don't know whether it is deliberate, or washed by time, coupled with the inaction of the government, most of the house numbers have disappeared without a trace, and occasionally you can see a piece of intact black background and white house number.
People come and go on the street, rubbing shoulders, and it is very lively.
Oil mills, wine shops, teahouses, grain shops, inns, herb shops, weapons shops...... There are all kinds of shops, which are far more lively than Qinghua County.
There are many warriors who come and go on the street.
However, these warriors who like to draw their swords against each other as soon as they disagree with each other are not very behaving in this place, even if they accidentally have a conflict, or see an enemy with old grudges, most of them will look at each other angrily, at most a few quarrels, shout and curse each other, and then they will find their own steps and retreat, and go their separate ways.
On the street, there are uniformed disciples of the Meishan Sword Sect patrolling the streets, and once they find signs of conflict, they will hear it, and for those martial artists, these Meishan disciples have a strong deterrent power.
Gu Xiaozhao and Su Qiao'er walked in the car, flickering in the flow of people.
Two days ago, Gu Xiaozhao showed his skills on the dock and killed the black bee thief who came to Meizhou for some reason in one fell swoop, and even extinguished the aura of being a certain existence and avoided a catastrophe, so he was noticed by the Meishan Sword Sect and respectfully invited to his own residence by the other party.
Because they mistook Gu Xiaozhao for an alien who had awakened the power of the bloodline and was embarking on the way home, those elders of the Meishan Sword Sect did not dare to slack off, and their attitude towards him was very respectful, however, due to the instructions of the backer behind him, they had to beg Gu Xiaozhao to stay.
At that time, the backer behind the Meishan Sword Sect was busy with a major event, and he couldn't get out, so it would take a few days.
Facing the request of the Meishan Sword Sect, Gu Xiaozhao hesitated for a while, and finally agreed to stay, after all, he didn't know much about this world, although, through some side knocks, he more or less learned something from the other party's elder surnamed Xu, however, the other party didn't know much, and there might even be too many fallacies.
Therefore, he decided to take the risk of staying and come into contact with that being that Elder Xu did not dare to call by his name.
What is the level of power of the other party, what is the attitude towards oneself, is it good or malice?
In this way, Gu Xiaozhao didn't know anything, and it was naturally more risky to stay, but after weighing one or two, he still decided to stay, if he insisted on leaving, it would be a complete tear in his face.
At that time, he could feel that there was some obscure aura near the Tianyan Pavilion.
The existence of one of the breaths is like a vast sea, which has a certain threat to itself, but this aura is very dignified, unlike the red light and black mist, it is not mysterious and weird at all, but it is an authentic martial arts breath, and that aura is similar to the face-to-face communication with Elder Xu Fangda, but it is much larger and vast.
Legend has it that the Meishan Sword Sect has a great master martial artist with a great consummation of spirit and spirit, and that breath should come from the other party.
The Great Grandmaster of the Great Perfection of Essence and Spirit, although his strength level is still not as good as that of the Inhumans who burst out of the bloodline power, his combat power is not much worse than that of some Inhuman boys who have just awakened the power of the bloodline, and he has the power of a battle, of course, this is just a legend, and I don't know if it is true or not.
Gu Xiaozhao refused the other party's request to stay in Tianyan Pavilion, but left the station of the Meishan Sword Sect and stayed at the largest inn in Meizhou City under the other party's arrangement.
For the next two days, it was business as usual.
The fact that a great big man came to Meizhou City did not spread, even if it was the state government, he only sent a catcher to visit Gu Xiaozhao, asking if Gu Xiaozhao needed someone to serve him, and if he needed help, and left after getting a response that he didn't need.
For strangers, most of the attitude of ordinary people is to stay away, lest they avoid it.
You must know that if the aliens who left their secret world come to the real world, once a big war breaks out, in order to maintain the supply of strength, most of them will unscrupulously open firepower, and obtain a large amount of flesh and blood and souls by slaughtering humans as raw materials to make flesh and blood altars, so that they can obtain a steady stream of power support from the void.
At the beginning, in the battle in Qinghua County, Gu Xingzhou was desperate to prepare for the burning of jade, so he drove a foreign object, that thing was just some small things made by aliens, even so, it would cause a catastrophe, not to mention the appearance of the real body, and the disaster created could not be said to be the same at all.
In the past, there were two high-level Inhumans who fought in the real world, slaughtered a whole number of people, a million people, completely smashed that house into white ground, landslides and collapsed, and finally, turned into a vast lake, the lake is called Yushan Lake, which is the largest lake in the southwest.
Therefore, even a grandmaster-level martial artist is afraid of coming into contact with these aliens.
Therefore, Gu Xiaozhao was very quiet in the past two days, and the elders who knew the inside story did not dare to approach them, but just sent a few disciples who did not know the situation to serve nearby, and instructed them to treat Gu Xiaozhao as a VIP reception, never disobey the other party, usually, it is best not to approach without greeting.
In fact, when Gu Xiaozhao really wanted to insist on leaving, the great grandmaster who showed a vast aura did not dare to make a move.
Yes, even if Gu Xiaozhao seemed to be an inhuman boy whose bloodline power had not yet fully awakened, the other party would not dare to act rashly, unless he wanted to turn the entire Meizhou City into ruins.
After resting for a day and making sure that no one was watching him, Gu Xiaozhao also made a decision.
This morning, after breakfast, he took Su Qiao'er Shi Shiran out of the door, and the nearby disciples of the Meishan Sword Sect hurriedly followed, however, it didn't take long for them to lose the trace of Gu Xiaozhao's master and servant.
Gu Xiaozhao didn't need to do anything, and the idea of being a little out of his mind affected the minds of those disciples, making them turn a blind eye to it was just a trivial matter.
Those guys panicked, like ants on a hot pot walking around, after completely understanding that they and the others could not find Gu Xiaozhao, they hurriedly reported upwards, and soon, Xu Fangda rushed here with a few subordinates, however, he just took a cursory look at the surrounding situation, did nothing, and finally, sighed.
He told the disciples that if the other party appeared, they should follow carefully, and if they suddenly disappeared, they did not need to panic, and they would go back to the inn and wait.
In Xu Fangda's opinion, Gu Xiaozhao is indeed a teenager who has just awakened the power of his bloodline, and he still has the smell of some people on his body, if he is replaced by some guys, once he feels that he has been offended, maybe he will do something, and all they can do is to let the other party vent their anger!
Gu Xiaozhao naturally didn't know that he had such a deterrent energy, after all, he still underestimated the existence of aliens.
Those guys in Qinghua County are still lonely and unheard of after all, even if they are from Lishan, they don't know much, and only Xu Fangda, a martial artist from the big sect and a grandmaster-level figure, knows the power of the alien, of course, he doesn't know anything about the deeper secrets.
came to Linhe Street, and for a while, Gu Xiaozhao couldn't find the seventy-two.
At first, he was just going back and forth on the street, but the house number he occasionally saw had no pattern at all, it was just six, but the house number that appeared after two street corners became one hundred and thirty-four, and the shops passing by were obviously not so many, so he didn't avoid those guys if he knew it earlier, it was better to let the other party lead the way so as to save trouble.
Of course, Gu Xiaozhao is just talking.
The secret of this coffin shop is better to be less known!
Gu Xiaozhao was not a fool, and he quickly knew why he was wrong.
It turns out that those alleys also have house numbers, and the so-called Riverside Street also includes those small alleys that are zigzag and irregular.
So, he quickly found his destination.
The coffin shop is located at the end of an alley, which is lined with no other shops, only a high wall, and occasionally large branches of trees peeking out of the wall, swaying in the wind, blocking the sky and the sun, making the alley particularly gloomy.
Walking into the alley in this early winter season is like the temperature dropping several degrees steeply.
Su Qiao'er, as a martial artist of Xiao Zhou Tian, couldn't help but shudder.
The door of Du's coffin shop is open, like a black hole, there is no signboard on the door, and there is no house number, but there is a black lacquered willow coffin at the door, and on the walls on both sides, there are many paper figurines and wreaths.
It's a weird scene.
Gu Xiaozhao came to the door, suddenly stopped, and looked straight ahead without squinting, and there was darkness behind the door, as if the light had also been swallowed up.
"Young Master!"
Su Qiaoer, as usual, is ready to do her part.
According to etiquette, as a subordinate, she should take the first step and report to the other party, report the name of her master, and say what she is visiting for.
However, Gu Xiaozhao grabbed her and didn't let her enter the door.
His expression suddenly became solemn, staring at the open door, staring at the back of it.
At this time, there was light.
There was a little more spark inside the door, and then the light outside the door scrambled into it, and a figure slowly emerged from behind the door.
It was a hunchbacked old man with a snuffbox in his mouth, his face was wrinkled like folds, and there was a dead air on his body, he took off the snuffbox in his mouth, and suddenly coughed, the cough sound was unusually hard and painful, bent over, lowered his head, and coughed hard, as if the heart, liver, spleen and lungs were going to cough out.
After a while, he stopped coughing and said in an unusually old tone.
"Distinguished guests come to the door, and they are far away to welcome ......"
