Chapter Eighty-Six: On the Eve of Departure
"Childe, what did you just want to say?"
"Uh, ahem, it's nothing, just wanted to remind you that this ice dragon is dangerous. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Oh, are they called ice centipedes, where did Childe find two such cute ice centipedes?"
Guo Xu smiled bitterly, and the cute Xiaoice centipedes in the red jade eyes, who didn't know that after they transformed, they were fierce and abnormal second-level demon beasts. immediately told her briefly about the process of getting the ice centipede.
Hongyu didn't follow, pestering him to ask about the trial in the mountain, Guo Xu couldn't help it, so he had to pick some irrelevant things and tell her about it.
Unexpectedly, Hongyu was very fascinated when she heard it, her eyes didn't blink, her face was full of yearning, she originally thought that she had a quiet temperament, but now it seems that she is just unable to cultivate and forced to do so, she is afraid that she is also an eccentric and lawless character in her bones.
"Hongyu, although you have the help of the ice centipede to absorb the cold qi in your body, it is only a symptom, and at most it can ensure that you reach the perfection of qi refining, but your own meridians are blocked, and the condition of cold qi stagnation has not fundamentally improved. ”
"On the contrary, the more you cultivate, the faster your cultivation will enter the realm, and the more severe your cold depression will become next time, so your cultivation is tantamount to drinking to quench your thirst. The eldest brother suggests that it is better for you not to cultivate for the time being. ”
Guo Xu looked at Hongyu's complexion, although Yingying had a divine light, but the cold qi was lurking deeper, this cultivation really could not change her physique, but the hidden worries were even worse, presumably Ruan Yuxing had invited a very clever doctor to help Hongyu diagnose and treat her, so she was not allowed to cultivate.
"Thank you Gongzi for your concern, you can achieve the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and Hongyu is also satisfied. ”
Hongyu thought to herself, it is worth it to be happy and live happily for more than ten years, it is better than the mediocre and ordinary life, and it is not worth the life in this world. ”
"Just like the blooming flower, although it will eventually wither one day, it has at least bloomed, and it has been young and beautiful, even if it passes away one day, it will not regret it. ”
"Hongyu's mind has been decided, and I hope that the son will be fulfilled!" she Hongyu bowed after speaking, her tone was sincere and a little open-minded, and her eyes were full of perseverance and firmness.
Guo Xu looked at Hongyu quietly and was silent. Hongyu's words touched his heart very much.
Thinking that he hadn't broken through the second layer of gas refining for three years, he suffered all kinds of cynicism in the name of waste, and was demoted from the outer gate to the miscellaneous courtyard, the ups and downs of which only he could understand.
In the past, she couldn't practice, but now that she finally has such a glimmer of opportunity, how can she be willing to miss it?
After being silent for a long time, Guo Xu finally agreed to Hongyu's request and temporarily handed over the two ice centipedes to her for safekeeping. With these two ice centipedes here, at least for the next few years, it won't be a big problem. And in the past few years, he may be able to find a cure.
Sitting on the bamboo bed, the sunlight leaked in from the windowsill, the ground was sparse and mottled, and a pot of jasmine was also placed on the windowsill, which was fragrant and refreshing, and his mood was unconsciously soothed.
Coming out of Hongyu, Guo Xu went straight back to the guest room prepared by Zhou Cheng and them to prepare for rest.
These days were first attacked by the barbarian village, the evil fight against the iron corpse, then to the cave exploration, trapped in the cave, and finally frozen at the bottom of the pool, the stone hall was frightened, this series can be described as thrilling, his tense spirit has not relaxed for a moment, and when he came back at this moment, he suddenly felt a deep tiredness welling up in his heart.
Kazui lay on the bed, and in an instant he fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up, it was the second day, and the sleep was so sweet that he slept for more than a day and a night.
Standing in front of the window, looking at the courtyard with birds singing and flowers, I felt refreshed.
After thinking back to all the experiences during this trial and revisiting all these clues to make sure that there were no more mistakes, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a sneer.
Since you have to wait for an opportunity, then I will create an opportunity, and maybe it is time to see the real chapter.
"Childe, don't take a break, get up so early?" Zhou Chengzheng was bored fiddling with chips at the counter, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and when he looked up, it was Guo Xu who walked out of the backyard.
"This sleep is comfortable, and it's time to move your muscles. Guo Xu smiled indifferently.
"Childe, are you going to go out, but do you have something to tell Lao Zhou?"
"Yes, there is really something to trouble Lao Zhou. Guo Xu looked at Zhou Cheng's eyes full of appreciation, this Zhou Cheng deserved to be an old man, and he was keenly aware that he had something to ask for.
Guo Xu took out a letter from his arms and said: "Please keep this letter properly for Lao Zhou, just ask the people of the Dragon and Tiger Mercenary Group to leave the city, you can open it, and then you only need to do it according to the letter explained." ”
"Oh, don't worry, Zhou Cheng can save it. Zhou Cheng glanced at Guo Xu meaningfully, he had doubts but knew how to advance and retreat, and did not open his mouth to ask.
"Then please Lao Zhou, I won't say hello to Hongyu, so as not to worry her. After Guo Xu finished speaking, he bowed slightly, and wanted to go out.
"Childe, haven't you changed your appearance?" Zhou Cheng saw Guo Xu regain his original appearance and went out, and reminded him.
"Haha, do you remember Lao Zhouqi!It's just that it doesn't matter if I return to my original appearance now, do you think the other party doesn't know?" Guo Xu laughed after speaking, and then strode out of the door.
Looking up at the delicate red sun hanging in the sky, Guo Xu's face was sunny, and he took a big stride towards the Dragon and Tiger mercenary group.
In front of the vermilion gate, the two monks stood on either side.
"Trouble the two of them to come forward and spread the word, just say that their friend Guo Xu visited the head of Cheng. After speaking, Guo Xu had already turned around, just like that, with his hands on his back, looking at the blue sky, the white clouds, indescribably free and easy, calm and relaxed.
"This fellow Daoist, but Guo Xu Guo Daoyou. A monk with a look of surprise on his face was already the first to speak.
"Yes, I am Guo Xu. How can this friend know that he is making a name?" Guo Xu turned around and looked at the monk with a playful expression. This is the monk who shouted at him the day before yesterday.
"Guo Daoyou, please come in quickly, a few days ago, Cheng Tou ordered someone to pass the word, let us pay attention, saying that if Guo Daoyou comes, he will come to greet him in person. The other monk also spoke, and he looked at Guo Xu with a clear look in his eyes.
"It's too rude to stand outside the door like this, please Guo Daoyou wait in the front hall for the time being, and Cheng Tou will come in a moment. After speaking, the monk clasped his fists and made a big salute to Guo Xu.
With a creak, the vermilion gate opened, and the monk who spoke first rushed forward to report the news, and the other monk led the way.
This courtyard may seem small, but in fact, there is something special inside. Entering from the gate, there are three or five similar small courtyards, the same black sand stone stacks, and the vermilion gate is very dazzling in the sun.
The path paved with cyan blue waves and stones, the grass on both sides, the flowers are dotted, the rockeries are lined up, and the trail is quite winding and secluded.
Guo Xu nodded frequently, seeing that the wall and courtyard gate were so vulgar, he didn't want to be so elegant inside. Just as he was looking around and enjoying the scenery, a very excited voice sounded in his ears.
"Brother Guo, is that you?"
Guo Xu turned his head to look, and saw that not far ahead, a figure dressed in black, with a tall figure and a resolute face like a knife appeared from behind the rockery, this is not who Cheng Yixiu is!
"Brother Cheng, it's me!" Guo Xu stood still, looked at the black figure rushing towards him, and replied loudly.
"Hahaha, Brother Guo, you are also out of danger, God blesses. Zhao Hu's figure then appeared, and he laughed loudly, very happy.
"I'll just say that the little brother is blessed with a deep fate, and he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune, no, is it good now. Bai Yulian smiled indifferently, and the lotus step appeared.
A warm hug. It took a long time to let go.
Cheng Yixiu hugged Guo Xu's shoulders and said as he walked: "Brother, let's talk inside." ”
A spacious and bright study room, the tables and chairs are very precious, all made of hundred-year-old pine wood. A few pots of violets, delicate and blooming, swaying in the sun, faint floral fragrance, mixed with bursts of ink fragrance, make people feel very clean and elegant.
A few people sat down. I didn't see each other for many days, and I didn't wait for the maid to serve tea, so I began to recount the experience of the day.
"Brother Guo is really thrilling this time, it is said that there is God's blessing, it is better to say that it is self-improvement, if there is no firm belief, most people are afraid that they will give up long ago. Not to mention escaping the tiger's den. Cheng Yixiu was amazed, and his heart was even more sincerely admired.
Under everyone's inquiry, Guo Xu roughly talked about the experience of getting out of trouble, but he hid some things that were too bizarre and he himself was confused, such as the two strange ice centipedes and the strange blood blade from the stone hall.
"I, Zhao Hu, only served one person before, that is, Cheng Tou, and now I have one more person. For the Guo Xu brothers, Lao Zhao and I admire the five-body throw. Zhao Hu also followed.
"The little brother escaped this time, it is really fortunate, the passage was inexplicably lost, and Yulian is also unknown, please don't blame the little brother. Bai Yulian got up and apologized softly, her voice was crisp and tactful, which made people can't bear to have a trace of blame after listening to it.
"Yes, Brother Guo, I have been looking for many days, but the passage is as dense as a spider's web, like a labyrinth, and there is still no trace for a long time; ”
Cheng Yixiu still had a little shame on his face, and after speaking, he also got up to apologize to Guo Xu.
"Brother Cheng, don't be like this, it's a pain in the face. Guo Xu hurriedly held it up, and the two sat down again, and then he continued.
"The underground caverns are intricate and dangerous, and it is not helpful to find someone to find a needle in a haystack, and it is undoubtedly the wisest decision to turn back at that time. Brother Cheng, Sister Bai, and Brother Zhao don't worry about this anymore. ”
"I heard Brother Cheng mention that he was gathering people to eradicate the nest, and he didn't know what the situation was now and when he was going to go. ”
"Originally, as soon as I came back, I contacted the good lion mercenary group and the fire mercenary group, and in a few days I was going to level the lair and save my brother out, but in those few days, the gloomy star was shining brightly, which was not conducive to action. And Yulian also proposed to contact the vulture mercenary group and the Storm Bear mercenary group again, after all, that nest is dangerous and unknown, there are more people, and there are more certain. ”
"Fortunately, the scar Li and Xiong Da have loosened their mouths yesterday, but now this evil phenomenon has not been lifted, and when to set off remains to be determined. ”
"Yi Xiu, I watched the light of the gloomy star last night, and Scar Li and Xiong Da are already willing to go, if there are no special circumstances, we can set off today. Bai Yulian interjected crisply.
"What!Yulian, you said you could leave today?" Cheng Yixiu stood up when he heard this.
