Four and a half years later. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There is only half a year left until the five-year contract.

The northern region of the city!

Liancheng is divided into two large urban areas, the south is the infested area of immortal cultivators, if the label of the south is poverty, then the label of the north is wealth. The women of Liancheng are ashamed to marry into the south, and the men are to break into the northern region as their goal, that is because the merchant giants, most of whom are gathered in the northern region, they are the few people in Liancheng who enjoy a subsistence life, and among the middle-level businessmen, the richest is the Miao family!

The Miao family's mansion.

"Is that him?"

"That's right, he looks like he's twenty years old, he's blind, he's weak, and he can't even say a word, I'm afraid it's really a dementia that is rumored outside. ”

"How do you know?"

"It's all from the people in the martial arts workshop, his name is Gu Cheng, he came to the martial arts workshop for half a year, he closed the door all day, and only refined a few waste sword handles, but he couldn't even refine a complete sword, I really can't figure out why the old man would give him a quota before he died. ”

"Is this true? He was so old to be selected for Reading Man Mountain? But... There are so few places in Reading People Mountain, so isn't Miss Xiaoxi really defeated?"

.......

.....

...

The maids stood on either side of the corridor when they saw a young man walking in this direction, and stopped their voices.

The atmosphere was quite oppressive.

Not far away, a young man was coming from the hallway.

His clothes were stained with rust, sweat, and the smell of iron and copper, and when he passed by the sides, the maids were quite uncomfortable.

At the end of the corridor is a hall.

The youth walked to the camera.

"Young master, please inside. The maid bowed her head and said.

The young man glanced at the maid next to him a few times, and sat down on a large round table under the guidance of the maid.

The table is full of dishes, and it is very rich, and even the dishes are quite elegant.

As soon as the young man sat down, he devoured it like a wild beast, without the slightest regard for etiquette.

His name is Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng has always rarely spoken.

He was as silent as a stone, but harder and colder than a stone.

But no one would have imagined that he would be so rude.

But honorable people attach great importance to etiquette.

Especially since he was sitting opposite two dignitaries.

The age of the two was still obvious, and one of them was a small and delicate girl, with bright eyes and a few strands of hair hanging mischievously in front of her.

She is Miao Xiaoxi, the only granddaughter of the Miao family, the richest man in Liancheng, who is talented and has always been arrogant.

No one dared to be presumptuous in front of her, but today there was finally an exception.

But she couldn't do anything to Gu Cheng.

It's not that she doesn't dare, but because Gu Cheng has already been selected for Reading People Mountain, and he is a person who has been sheltered.

Miao Xiaoxi subconsciously pinched the chopsticks in her hand, snorted angrily and walked out.

Another woman had long hair and waist-length hair, a leisurely demeanor, and no decorations on her body, but she had an elegant and vulgar atmosphere.

She glanced at Miao Xiaoxi, who ran out of the door, also put down the dishes and chopsticks, and sighed.

She stood up, walking as weak as a willow wind, and then walked out the door.

The two maidens at the round table were gone, and the young man seemed to see nothing, and ate like a beast as usual.

------------------

In the lotus lake outside the hall, there should have been maids standing on both sides, but at this moment, it seems that the maids have been sent away.

Miao Xiaoxi squatted alone on the stairs.

She looked at the lotus lake in the distance, looked angry, and drank the wine in one gulp.

She never drank alcohol, but today she wanted to drink because she was sad.

She had invited the meal, but now she was the one who overthrew it.

She remembered her grandfather's words at this moment, and her heart was even more uncomfortable.

She went to ask her grandfather why he gave the quota to Gu Cheng instead of herself.

The answer she got was seven words!

Gu Cheng is not an ordinary person.

After she got this reply, she didn't ask her grandfather again, because grandpa would only reply to others once, and there would never be a second reply.

Miao Luoxiang walked out of the hall, walked to her quietly, and sighed and said, "Xiaoxi, it's just a meal." ”

"How do you want me to eat at a demented child?" Miao Xiaoxi snorted coldly, "I heard rumors outside that he is a demented child, I still can't believe it, but now that I see it with my own eyes, can I still not believe it?!"

"Xiao Xi..."Miao Luo said pityingly.

"This time, Yueren Mountain only gave two places in the Wubing Fang, and the funny thing is that grandpa actually gave this nerd a place, he is already twenty years old!

"But Gu Cheng, he is the person designated by your grandfather before he died..."Miao Luoxiang said helplessly.

"I can't swallow this breath anyway. Miao Xiaoxi gritted her teeth.

Miao Xiaoxi picked up the flask and poured herself into it in one gulp, until she heard a crane cry in the distance.

At this moment, a vague shadow in the shape of a crane was reflected in the lake, and then a crane scream was heard in the air, and the cry resounded throughout the Miao Mansion.

"It's coming!"

Miao Xiaoxi stood up in surprise and looked at the air with her eyes.

Miao Luoxiang looked puzzled, and she also raised her head, and the next moment she realized that there was a crane flying towards her.

The red-crowned crane stood on the lotus, folded its wings, its body was elegant and elegant, and chirped, and the sound was extraordinary, "I have sent the information you want"

Zhixin Crane!

"The Zhixin Crane of Wanhe Tower?" Miao Luoxiang's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he lowered his voice and said, "Could it be that you deliberately investigated Gu Cheng?"

Wanhelou, this is an intelligence agency, as long as there is a registered person, it will be able to find out.

Miao Xiaoxi sighed, nodded, and took a scroll of letters from Zhixin Crane's leg.

She opened the letter, her brow furrowed.

There was not a word in the letter.

A blank slate!

"Zhixin Crane, why is this letter blank?" Miao Xiaoxi asked towards the red-crowned crane.

"No way. Zhixinhe only shook his head slightly at first.

"Look. After Miao Xiaoxi handed the letter to Zhixinhe to read, Zhixinhe confirmed Miao Xiaoxi's words.

Zhixinhe paced back and forth, thinking for a while before saying: "There are only three kinds of people who are not registered, one is the homeless, the second is the person who was deliberately hidden by Jin Wuwei, and the third is the immortal cultivator. ”

"He doesn't look like someone who will be deliberately hidden by Jin Wuwei, let alone an immortal cultivator. Miao Luo bit her lip and groaned.

"But if he is an outcast, how can he become a member of the Martial Arts Workshop?" Zhi Xinhe questioned.

"I don't know, but my father-in-law brought him back in the first place. Miao Luoxiang shook her head and said.

"If he is an outcast, I, Wanhelou, will naturally have to investigate to the end, and I can't let anyone get through the loophole, but if he is the one who was deliberately hidden by Jin Wuwei...."Zhixin Crane's eyes flashed with a hint of meaning.

was deliberately concealed information,

Miao Luoxiang had no intention of tracking down Gu Cheng, but at this moment, her heart was also shaken, and she also provoked a lot of doubts in her heart.

"Anyway, he's here, won't it be clear if we question him face to face?" Miao Xiaoxi said bluntly.

.....

Half a moment later, they rushed back to the hall, but found that the hall was empty, and after asking the maid, they learned that Gu Cheng had finished eating in such a short time and returned to the martial arts workshop.

They quickly rushed to the Arsenal.

The martial arts workshop is very large, with a total of ten halls.

Before I get to know this person, I want to get to know him first. Zhixin Crane said as he walked.

Miao Luo glanced at Miao Xiaoxi and saw her nodding.

"He's a very secretive guy and we don't know much about him. ”

"Just tell me everything you know. Zhixin Crane said.

Miao Luojiao nodded slightly, "Ordinary people who forge weapons will choose some well-lit halls, but only Gu Cheng chose a tenth hall with the darkest light and the most end. ”

"The Tenth Palace?" Zhixin Crane said with his eyes narrowed slightly.

"The tenth hall was originally a place to store bronze iron ore, so the bronze iron ore was indirectly under the management of Gu Cheng, since Gu Cheng took over the bronze iron ore, the bronze iron ore received by the hall members has decreased significantly, they all have a lot of complaints about Gu Cheng, and always complain that Gu Cheng deducts the bronze iron ore..."

As they spoke, they walked through the first nine halls. At this time, they were still surrounded by familiar images, large and small furnaces, whetstones, and mountains of bronze iron ore.

There is also a courtyard interval in the ninth and tenth halls.

Miao Luojiao stopped, a little worried: "My father-in-law also said when he was alive that everyone is not allowed to cross into this courtyard, and those who violate it will be expelled from the military arsenal..."

"The rules are dead, people are alive, and grandpa is dead!"

Miao Xiaoxi said, and stepped into this courtyard without a trace of hesitation.

But when they entered the courtyard, the more strange they felt, and they had been familiar with the martial arts workshop since they were children, and they had the illusion of going to the wrong place, as if they had arrived in a strange place.

The open-pit furnace was emptied, and the mountains of bronze iron ore disappeared, replaced by a slag ruin.

Although they hadn't been here for many years, in their impressions, the Tenth Hall was the hall with the largest storage of bronze iron ore, and its ore volume could support the entire martial arts workshop for three years, and it was impossible to use it up in just half a year.

Unless... It's really run out, or it's been carried away!

When Miao Xiaoxi thought of this, a wave of anger couldn't help but rush up from her ribs.

"Xiaoxi!"

Miao Luoxiang took Miao Xiaoxi's hand, fearing that Miao Xiaoxi would make drastic moves, so she had to say a lot of persuasion to Miao Xiaoxi.

After Miao Luoxiang persuaded Miao Xiaoxi, she walked to the hall door, pushed it gently, and the hall door slowly opened a gap, and the next moment she realized that the door was not closed at all.

"Squeak-"

There was a bang, and the door opened.

There was darkness in front of you, and in the darkness you could see a faint glow in the temple.

The light of the fire came from the furnace.

Miao Luoxiang and Zhixin Crane walked along the firelight, all the way.

The light of the fire illuminated the far corners of the temple and the boy beside the furnace.

But the boy didn't seem to notice their presence, and just blindly carved the hilt of the sword, but the whole carving process was silent, and it was very strange.

Miao Luoxiang walked up to Gu Cheng, clasped his fists and said, "Lord Gu, I'm sorry." ”

From the will of the eldest lord, to the fact that the Ten Thousand Crane Tower is not registered in the register, and the mystery of the tenth hall, she has vaguely felt that this young man is a person with extraordinary origins.

The young man was stunned for a while, then turned his head sluggishly and replied like a piece of wood: "Well, I am Gu Cheng." ”

"This is Zhixin Crane. Miao Luo stretched out his hand and said.

"I am the Zhixin Crane of Wanhe Tower. Zhixinhe stepped forward and looked at Gu Chengdao.

"Oh. Gu Cheng said sluggishly.

"As far as I know, Wanhelou does not have a record of your information, and I came to visit you to register your information. Zhixinhe said, his tone as if he was asking.

Relying on the strength of Wanhelou, it does have the capital to ask others.

Without waiting for Gu Cheng's approval, Zhixinhe had already begun to question Gu Cheng.

For these questions, Gu Cheng answered very cooperatively, but the speed of speech was very slow, as slow as a baby who was not very good at speaking.

After doing some simple identity registration, Zhixinhe suddenly changed his mind.

"Then what is your cultivation?" Zhixinhe said in a deep voice.

"A few years ago, I cultivated to reach the Nine Heavens of Cultivation, and now I should have fallen to the Ninth Heaven of Cultivation. Gu Cheng said expressionlessly.

"Whew!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhixinhe suddenly lost his temper, chirped in shock, and looked at the seedlings with suspicion.

Miao Luo didn't smile at her makeup, and shook her head again and again.

A few years ago, he cultivated to reach the Nine Heavens of Cultivation?

It's simply impossible!

Jin Wuwei is a person who wants to pick one out of ten thousand in the Reading Mountain, but even if it is an ordinary Jin Wuwei, he is only a martial artist of the Sixth Heaven, and there are not no people who can reach the Nine Heavens, just like Xu Ziyun, who is a crazy knife with a wrong bone, and Fu Hu refers to Lian Xiangwen, but they are all giants in the factory guard.

This is undoubtedly claiming to be a giant-level figure, and also lying that he is an immortal cultivator.

If it was an immortal cultivator, how could Wanhe Tower not know?

Open your eyes and tell nonsense!

"Then please repeat your current cultivation. Zhixinhe asked solemnly.

"Cultivating the Twin Heavens. ”

Zhixinhe's face changed, and he said secretly: "This son is very crazy, and he is actually claiming to be an immortal cultivator!"

Everyone knows that it is impossible for such a low-level immortal cultivator to break through the 'immortal cultivator's haunted zone', let alone have a chance to sneak into such a safe place.

Seeing that Gu Cheng had already lied once, Zhixinhe couldn't believe him in any reason, so he didn't register his cultivation, but thinking about the ins and outs of the whole thing, Zhixinhe could only guess that Gu Cheng just lied for the sake of face, so he didn't pursue it anymore.

Although the cultivation can be ignored, the origin cannot be ambiguous, and Zhixinhe is very firm!

Zhixinhe questioned Gu Cheng's origin to the end, but Gu Cheng either didn't answer or answered vaguely in the face of these questions.

They were entangled for an hour, but they didn't know anything about Gu Cheng's origin.

Zhixinhe was not stupid, so he had to change another way to question Gu Cheng's origin.

"Where did Master Miao bring you back?" Zhixin He stared at Gu Chengdao.

"Natural domain. ”

Zhixinhe shook his head at Miao Luoxiang, who was also disappointed by this.

The natural domain is a gathering place for immortal cultivators, and it is also an immortal land that countless Liancheng residents yearn for, but those who enter the domain are dead, even the Jinwuwei giants dare not break into this area alone, let alone this fool with a weak body?

Zhixinhe was very impatient with these uncooperative behaviors, but he knew that it was useless to ask any further, so Zhixinhe said goodbye to Gu Cheng.

Not long after the two of them walked out of the hall, another person rushed into the hall!

But Gu Cheng just kept his head down, holding the carved diamond, and continued to carve the sword hilt.

Suddenly, the carved diamond was held down by a hand that suddenly came from the black shadow, which made it impossible for Gu Cheng to continue carving.

"Gu Cheng, I'll ask you again!" Miao Xiaoxi pressed the carved diamond in Gu Cheng's hand and said angrily.

"What the hell are you from?!"

Gu Cheng raised his head slightly, looked at Miao Xiaoxi in the direction where the hand was outstretched, and was stunned for a while.

"Well, I'm Gu Cheng. Before Gu Cheng's words fell, he shook off Miao Xiaoxi's hand and continued to carve the hilt of the sword, and he shook it mercilessly!

"You...."Miao Xiaoxi was annoyed.

With a "poof", Miao Xiaoxi pushed away all the sword hilts around Gu Cheng, and snatched the carved diamond in his hand, and in a fit of anger, threw the carved diamond into the hot furnace.

In the process of snatching, the hook jade bones that had already cracked in Gu Cheng's hand also fell into the furnace.

And the moment the Magatama skeleton fell into the furnace....

Gu Cheng's whole person was stunned for a moment, the consciousness in front of him suddenly gradually blurred, and the soul and consciousness that were free from the body suddenly returned to the body.

------------------

At the same time, in the northern region of Liancheng, the Wuxian tribe!

There is a giant tree in the Wuxian tribe, and a tent hangs from the top of the giant branch, and a woman is practicing in retreat in the tent.

The woman's skin was refined and white, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, and there was a smell of fireworks that did not eat the world.

The girl's eyes were closed, and she muttered to herself as she recited the mantra.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes, patted the dust off her body, opened the tent curtains, and looked into the distance.

"Unexpectedly, the appointed day has arrived, it seems that ..... He had woken up early. ”

The girl took off her shrine maiden clothes.

"It's time for me to join him. ”

Under the giant tree, the sorcerer disciples who were practicing Zhu Yushu had no intention of continuing their cultivation, and their eyes fell on the woman who opened the tent.

"Isn't that a witch?"

"She's out of customs?"

"Wu heard that she was out of the customs!"
