Chapter 4: The Cultivation of the Madman
From a distance, Gu Hao could smell the aroma of wine and meat there, and his feet involuntarily walked over. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Senior brother. What do you want to eat? ”
A swarthy middle-aged man in a linen shirt saw Gu Hao coming, took the initiative to step forward, smiled happily, showed a mouthful of big white teeth, and said.
Gu Hao reacted when he was asked like this, he was arrested when he joined the sect, and he was penniless, so he couldn't afford to go to any restaurant at all.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Gu Hao pretended to ask for directions, and said, "Senior brother, I don't know where there is a place to eat here." ”
"Hey, my brother's words are wrong, isn't there a place to eat here, don't you ask where you eat in this place where you make food, don't you look down on your brother's shop?"
The strong man said, frowning, as if he was really angry.
"No, no...... Senior brother don't want to misunderstand, I just was in a hurry when I joined the sect and didn't bring any money...... "Gu Hao was really afraid that the man would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained.
As soon as he heard this, the swarthy man was also hearty, and said with a smile, "Senior disciple doesn't know, although this miscellaneous service courtyard is not the place where the official disciples of the sect are located, the system implemented is no different from that of the official disciples. ”
Speaking of this, the swarthy man took out a white wooden sign from his arms and gave it to Gu Hao.
"Isn't this the sign we issued when we entered the sect, what's the matter?" Gu Hao was puzzled, he knew that this wooden card was like a tax card, and the tax rate was terrifying.
"No, no, junior brother, you take a closer look. The swarthy man shook the sign in front of Gu Hao, and Gu Hao found that this brand was a little ...... Shining?!
"Why are there so many spirit troughs?!" Finally, Gu Hao reacted, and couldn't help but exclaim, he saw that there were no less than thirty spirit troughs on that brand!
"Shhh, junior brother, be quiet. ”
The swarthy man gestured, saw that Gu Hao calmed down, and continued, "Senior brother, this is Senior Brother's doorway, there is a special trough expansion master in the sect, and Senior Brother has made a piece. ”
Gu Hao looked at the swarthy man, this person had a square head and a straight face, thick eyebrows and a big nose, no matter how he looked at it, he was an honest man, but he didn't expect that there were still these things behind his back.
"Senior brother, don't worry, the senior brother's affairs and miscellaneous servants know it, and even the senior brother who is in charge of the miscellaneous servants knows, don't care, as long as you keep a low profile, it's easy to say. ”
The swarthy man patted Gu Hao's shoulder, Gu Hao's eyes rolled, and he said, "Senior brother, you are really amazing, you can get such a treasure, junior brother is really admirable." ”
"Haha, where, where is it, the junior brother is polite. The man laughed, and was praised by Gu Hao for a while, and he only felt that the sky was falling, and he was obviously very useful.
"Hey, by the way, junior brother, you're afraid you're hungry, in this sect, all things can be exchanged for these spirit troughs, just like coins in the mortal world, senior brother saw that you were new to the school, and you looked at it again, and your meal money today will be covered by senior brother. ”
The man was obviously praised by Gu Hao, and he felt in a good mood, so he decided to invite Gu Hao to dinner.
He took Gu Hao to the back room, and when he walked through the aisle, many people looked at Gu Hao, and there was a relatively small but clean table in the back room.
"Fourth, cook two side dishes, brother met someone who fell in love today. The man shouted at the back room.
"Got it, you came to help too, there were a lot of people today. There was a response from the back room, the voice of a young man.
"Okay. The man said sorry to Gu Hao, and went to the back room to help.
Gu Hao watched the man leave, although this man said that he could write small means, he was good to himself.
Sitting in the back room, Gu Hao observed the people around him, and found that these people were not all like those in the morning, they were still talking and laughing, and the atmosphere here was not lacking in liveliness.
About half an hour passed.
"Come on, junior brother, this is your meal, try your brother's craftsmanship. ”
A young man came out of the inner room, with a ponytail, a dark complexion, but a very clean face, a thin figure, and a navy blue sect costume.
There was an extra steaming meal on the table, and although it was ordinary, it was a blissful thing to be able to eat a steaming meal in this unfamiliar place.
"Thank you. ”
Gu Hao didn't like to show his expression on his face, so he simply thanked him.
"Hey, junior brother, you only came yesterday. The young man didn't mind Gu Hao's actions.
"Yes"
Gu Hao nodded.
"Oh, tell my brother what happened to the mortal world now. The young man seemed to have opened the conversation box and sat directly opposite Gu Hao, as if he was very concerned.
"I don't know, but I've been working as a master in the mountains, teaching children. ”
"Yo, it's still a gentleman. The young man smiled, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself when I patronized and chatted, it's rude, it's rude, it's rude, the contemptible Shangguan Chengyue, and his hometown is in Wuqin." ”
"In Xia Gu Hao, his ancestral home is Qingtong County. Gu Hao will respect those who respect him, and he will also respect each other very much.
"Wuqin, what kind of place is that?"
Gu Hao heard of that place for the first time.
"It's an island country, a beautiful place, if you have the chance, I will definitely take you to see it. Shangguan Chengyue laughed, I don't know if it was an illusion, Gu Hao was almost fascinated.
"Cough" Gu Hao coughed a little embarrassed.
"Ah, what are you doing in a daze, eat quickly, the food won't taste good when it's cold. Shangguan Chengyue said with a smile.
"Yes"
Gu Hao nodded.
After being full of wine and food, although it was a very ordinary meal, Gu Hao also felt satisfied.
"I'm still busy, Senior Brother Gu, you can do it yourself. Shangguan Chengyue said goodbye, and Gu Hao was about to ask some questions, but when he saw that the person had already left, he had to give up.
Gu Hao sighed helplessly, glanced out the window, and found that it was getting dark.
"Well, I'll ask next time. ”
After leaving the restaurant, Gu Hao identified the direction and returned to his residence.
After lighting the lamp, Gu Hao took a closer look at the sign he had given when he entered the sect.
"I didn't expect such a small brand to have so many doorways here. ”
"This immortal realm is also peculiar, it doesn't use money, but uses the miraculous spiritual power of this heaven and earth to make transactions, it's really unheard of, unheard of, and it has never been recorded in the book. ”
Thinking about what happened this day, Gu Hao only felt full of freshness, but he didn't feel sleepy.
"Then let's start cultivating. ”
Gu Hao began to cultivate according to the method in the book again.
Another night, still fruitless, the next day, Gu Hao went out to work with the heavy dark circles under his eyes, still going to the lumber yard, the sharp-mouthed young man saw Gu Hao, and no longer said hello, after seeing Gu Hao's brand, he threw Gu Hao an axe, Gu Hao got the axe, only felt a shock in his heart, as if he suddenly had strength.
"Become an immortal, I can become an immortal!"
Gu Hao muttered, he finally felt why the middle-aged man was excited that day.
After another day of cutting trees, Gu Hao felt that he was a little stronger again, and he began to gradually feel a strange power that existed in the air.
"That's spiritual power!"
Gu Hao was pleasantly surprised, but the first time he tried to use the mantra to extract spiritual power, he found that the spiritual power had disappeared.
"It seems that the intensity needs to be strengthened!"
When Gu Hao was meditating at night, he suddenly opened his eyes, this was the second seven days that Gu Hao had come here, Gu Hao had obviously become familiar with this place, but Gu Hao had only turned in his spiritual power once.
According to the words of Brother Wu, the coolie is the fastest way to earn spiritual power by cutting wood.
However, it still takes fourteen days to make up six spiritual power slots!
No wonder those people go to logging early in the morning, and that's the crux of the matter.
Gu Hao once heard of the private loan shark when he was rushing for the exam, and the same is true for handing over spiritual power, not only can it not be paid, but it will get bigger and bigger, and in the end, I am afraid that I can only cut wood here for the rest of my life!
"Sure enough, this place is not simple. ”
Gu Hao deeply felt that the person who set up this spiritual power collection was a terrifying and ruthless character.
Gu Hao began to gradually understand why Senior Brother Weng said that there would be a danger of life and death in this place, but it was not a sudden danger of life and death, but a danger of life and death that would accompany him for a lifetime!
Thinking of this, Gu Hao couldn't sit still, he calculated how much wood he could cut down every day, so that he could make up enough for six spirit troughs.
After a rough calculation, Gu Hao came up with an approximate figure, about fourteen trees per day to be cut down, enough to be enough for a seven-day handover, as for the remainder that the sharp-mouthed young man said, Gu Hao suspected that he couldn't do it at all.
"Since people say so, there must be a way to do it, but I don't know it yet. ”
Gu Hao thought for a moment and gritted his teeth, "Since that's the case, then change the direction and go to logging day and night!"
Gu Hao's astonishing decision was by no means groundless, in this fourteen days of life, Gu Hao had never slept once, but he felt strangely energetic, as if he didn't need to sleep.
Moreover, the first step recorded in the book has been reached by himself, and he can now feel that there is indeed spiritual power in heaven and earth, but it cannot be extracted.
Although he felt strange, Gu Hao still accepted this fact, and now if Gu Hao was asked to read the books of those saints again, Gu Hao was afraid that he would have a deep voice of doubt.
Thinking of this, Gu Hao stood up and looked at the night sky outside, only to feel that there was a fighting spirit burning in his heart, allowing him to break free from the seemingly inexplicable dead set, he only felt refreshed at this time, as if he had made a move against the person who was secretly playing this game of chess.
The moonlight was slightly cool, Gu Hao walked to the lumber yard and found that the sharp-mouthed young man was still sitting in front of the door, but he was also meditating.
Gu Hao stepped forward, and before he got close, he heard the voice of the sharp-mouthed young man.
"Yes, fourteen days, you are the first person I have ever met to discover the exit of this trap. The sharp-mouthed young man opened his eyes, his eyes were very peculiar, as if there was a strange light in them, but Gu Hao couldn't see what was behind the light, it only made people feel that his temperament had changed dramatically, it was very elegant, but it was only for a moment.
"Take it"
The sharp-mouthed young man looked at Gu Hao with appreciation, and on the table in front of him, there was an extra axe.
