Chapter 58: The Barbarian Village in the Mountains
Zhou Cheng seemed to be a little panicked by the middle-aged man's staring, could it be that he was seen through by this person? Qiang squeezed out a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have something you like." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
When the middle-aged man saw Zhou Cheng's style, he couldn't help it anymore and laughed loudly, and the laughter was especially loud in the shop!
"Fellow Daoist, what are you laughing at. Zhou Cheng was completely flustered in his heart, but he still managed to calm down.
"Okay, you Zhou Cheng, if I didn't know this, I would have almost been fooled by you. The middle-aged man pointed at Zhou Cheng and scolded with a smile.
"You, you, how do you know my name" Zhou Cheng was shocked in his heart, looking at the middle-aged man speechless, and secretly complained in his heart.
Could it be that the sufferer who was a flea back then came to him? But if you think about it, there is no such person?
"Hahaha, look at what scares you. The middle-aged man laughed for a long time, and gently wiped his right hand on his face, and the joints of his body crackled, revealing a young and handsome face!
"Childe, why are you!" Zhou Cheng's face was shocked and trembling all over, which was really unexpected by him.
But then his face was full of excitement and overjoy, and he shouted towards the curtain behind the door, "Hongyu, come out quickly, you see who is coming." ”
"Uncle Zhou, who is coming, I have said that my father's affairs are over, and I will not see anyone else. A crisp voice rang out from behind the door.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally there was a sound of footsteps, revealing an unusually delicate face behind the curtain.
Their eyes met and they were speechless.
Guo Xu smiled brightly, it's been two years, and I'm finally seeing you again.
The girl behind the curtain was first surprised and inexplicable, and then excited, until her eyes were fluttering, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks, and her weak body was even weaker.
"Childe, you're here, Hongyu still thinks you don't want me anymore. The girl's voice choked, tears fell, and she was about to bow down to Guo Xu.
Holding Hongyu, Guo Xu looked at the pear blossom rain face in front of him, he hadn't seen Hongyu grow a lot taller for two years, and her appearance was becoming more and more delicate, but she had lost a lot of weight.
I couldn't help but feel pity in my heart, this brother was really incompetent, he had been busy with his own affairs for the past two years, and he really ignored her.
Behind the store is a small courtyard, there is a begonia in the small courtyard, which is full of flowers at the moment, the breeze is gentle, and the courtyard is fragrant!
Under the begonia tree, there is a round table made of century-old ironwood, and Guo Xu and the three of them sit around and talk.
Guo Xu couldn't bear Hongyu's request, and at this moment, he was slowly telling them about his situation in Agarwood Valley in the past two years.
Hongyu held her little face and listened quite attentively, sometimes worried about Guo Xu, and sometimes happy for Guo Xu, while Zhou Cheng looked at the two with a smile on his face, silent.
"It turns out that Childe has done so many things in Agarwood Valley in the past two years, no wonder he didn't have time to come to see me, it's forgivable, now I forgive you. The red jade spring breeze winked at Guo Xu, extremely playful.
"Childe has not only done a lot of things in the past two years, but he can be promoted to a second-level spirit chef and spirit chef within two years, this qualification, this achievement, in the Tang Dynasty, it can be said that there is no one before or since. Zhou Cheng was amazed!
Guo Xu coughed dryly twice, and his old face was slightly red.
"Childe, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as being promoted to a second-level spirit chef, this cultivation is also greatly improved, isn't it that he has already advanced to the Innate Great Perfection?" Hongyu looked at Guo Xu with a surprised expression.
Guo Xu's cultivation at the moment was no longer able to see through the red jade, and she had felt the momentum of sitting there like an abyss and a sea, so she thought that Guo Xu had broken through to the Innate Great Perfection.
Guo Xu hurriedly waved his hand: "It's just a breakthrough in the middle stage of qi refining." ”
"Oh, you just broke through the middle stage of qi refining and had such momentum, and the strength of the son is not the same as it was two years ago!" Zhou Cheng's tone was quite emotional.
Then he seemed to think of something, hesitated and continued: "I don't know if Childe can be a match for ...... now."
Guo Xu didn't wait for Zhou Cheng to finish speaking, he shook his head and said: "Although my cultivation has made progress, there is still a gap between me and the Great Perfection Cultivator of Qi Refining, not to mention Fu Qingyun's dual cultivation of the Dharma Body, and his combat power is close to that of the Foundation Cultivator." ”
The three of them were silent for a while!
After a long time, Zhou Cheng said: "Childe, your disguise method is really magical, I Zhou I didn't feel it at all, and I was seen as a joke by Childe."
"Hehe, Uncle Zhou, Childe, this is not a disguise, it is a kind of body refining kung fu. ”
"Yes, this easy to do is really wonderful, with this exercise, the surnamed Fu couldn't have imagined that I would walk into Hongfeng Town so openly. ”
"No wonder, if Childe has this exercise, then this Red Maple Town can go anywhere!" Zhou Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Did Childe come here to see Hongyu and Uncle Zhou this time, or did he have something else important?" asked Hongyu crisply.
Guo Xu glanced at Hongyu, how could he not see the thoughts of this little girl, and said with a smile: "Seeing you and Brother Zhou is the main purpose, and I also went to the 100,000 Mountains to experience and experience by the way." ”
"Oh, Childe, I have to go to the 100,000 Mountains for trial! I don't know if Childe knows, the corpse disaster has spread recently, and many of the loose cultivators of the trial, including the disciples of various sects, have disappeared for no reason, and the situation is very strange. ”
"Many sects have issued a ban on not being allowed to enter the mountain for trial training in recent times, and even the scattered cultivation in this Red Maple Town has a lot less to go into the mountain to explore the secrets. Zhou Cheng reminded.
Guo Xu pondered for a moment and said: "What Brother Zhou said, Guo Xu can save it, but there are many things that have to be done, but Brother Zhou can rest assured, I will be careful, I will only try at the edge of the mountain, and will not go deep." ”
I don't know how Guo Xu is in the current situation, but his current cultivation really needs to be tested in actual combat, and more importantly, his senior sister has already been out of the customs, and he is taking the opportunity to dodge and create opportunities for Huzi, but this mind cannot be used by outsiders.
"Childe, the current situation is grim, why don't you live in Hongfeng Town for a while, and when the situation is clear, then go to the 100,000 mountains to practice, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
After Hongyu finished speaking, a pair of bright eyes looked at Guo Xu, full of anticipation.
Guo Xu was moved in his heart, they really cared about themselves!
It's just that he is determined to make up his mind early, and he will inevitably encounter all kinds of hardships and dangers when he comes out to practice, which has long been expected, not to mention the indomitable spirit of refining the heaviest body, if he encounters difficulties, he will cringe forward, and it will be even more slim to break through the innate nature.
Zhou Cheng saw that Guo Xu was silent, knowing that he was afraid that he would have a conclusion in his heart, and said: "Since Childe has made up his mind, then Lao Zhou is not good to persuade him again, this trip to the 100,000 mountains is full of hardships and dangers, I have here some maps and hidden paths collected in the past two years, maybe it can help Childe!"
After speaking, he stretched out his hand, and seven or eight jade slips flew out of the storage bag and handed them to Guo Xu.
Holding the jade slip, looking at Zhou Cheng and the others, none of the three of them spoke! The breeze blew, and the white begonia flowers flew all over the sky!
A huge mountain range rises from the ground, and its peaks are jutting into the sky!
Looking up, the mountains are horizontal, the clouds cover the mist, the sun and the moon are not seen, only the green mountains are seen, what a majestic and magnificent mountain!
Seeing this mountain, Guo Xu finally knew why Qixia Ridge was called a ridge instead of a mountain.
This mountain is called Daqing Mountain, which is a mountain range on the periphery of 100,000 Great Mountains, the closest to Hongfeng Town, and most of the monks come here to try out in the mountains.
Zhou Cheng gave Guo Xu a map of Daqingshan, looking at such a majestic mountain in front of him, those maps are afraid that they are only a corner of the mountain, and if he wants to get the whole picture of Daqingshan, he is afraid that no one will be able to do it.
After walking along the foot of the mountain for a long time, I saw the tall strange stone shaped like a giant monkey standing on the cliff, which is a landmark.
It is mentioned in the jade slip that there is a hidden path from the west side of the giant monkey cliff into the mountain, the path crosses the centipede ridge, climbs over the cliff ridge, and there is a hidden barbarian cottage.
Most of the barbarian cottages stand deep in the mountains, and the living conditions are harsh.
Barbarians cut off their hair and tattoos, practiced Gu arts, and their individual was strong and strong, with infinite strength, extremely good at bows and arrows, driving poisonous insects, and hunting monsters for a living, with amazing combat power, and other idle monks did not dare to provoke.
Although the barbarian may seem vicious, he is not unapproachable and untouchable, but on the contrary, if the monk treats people with sincerity, he can also gain friendship.
The seemingly useless demon beast materials and spirit herbs and elixirs captured by the barbarians are often treasures to the monks.
There have been many monks who have exchanged pills and spirit stones for valuable spiritual herbs and elixirs, so as to make a breakthrough in cultivation, so if the monks find that most of the barbarian cottages are in the name of borrowing accommodation, they take the opportunity to exchange.
This time, Guo Xu chose such a path.
As soon as I entered the mountain, a strong smell of grass and trees came to my face, and all I heard was the roar of all kinds of fierce birds and beasts.
This situation reminded him of the trial in Qixialing, he was cautious at the beginning, covering it up in every possible way, this time he could finally stop scruples, and he used his fists and feet, and his chest was suddenly full of pride!
A furnace-like power of qi and blood bloomed violently from Guo Xu's body, he was like a lighthouse in the dark night, pointing the way for fierce birds and monsters!
At this time, he deliberately asked the demon beast to take the initiative to come to the door, thinking that if he encountered the blood-winged bat and the golden python again, his eyes couldn't help but bloom with a cold light.
A group of black iron-billed crows flew first, their huge wings spread like dark clouds, and their sharp beaks were like sharp arrows, with a raging wind, swooping towards Guo Xu from all directions.
With a loud shout, Guo Xu flew up, without opening the true qi shield, and a sharp fist wind bombarded towards the oncoming iron-billed duck, ignoring the several iron-billed crows attacking from behind.
The sharp long beak of the iron-billed crow pecked at Guo Xu's back, but there was no blood splashing, Guo Xu's skin suddenly seemed to be smeared with a layer of black oil, it was Xiaocheng's black iron sword body!
The sharp long beak of the iron-billed crow pecked at the black iron sword, making several crisp sounds of "ding", like metal striking.
"Quack, quack, quack" There was a wail, blood splashed, and the dozen or so iron-billed crows that attacked were all torn apart under Guo Xu's fist, and all of them died.
"That's right! This Immortal Sword Body is really strong, the Black Iron Sword Body is small, and the toughness of the body is probably comparable to that of a second-level demon beast. The corners of Guo Xu's mouth couldn't help but smile.
His black iron sword body is already fearless of the iron mouth, and these iron mouth crows are moving targets for him!
