Chapter 11: Into the Wild City

"Is it a dream?"

Inside the cave, Gu Qingzhou opened his hazy eyes and muttered.

The moment he woke up, the light emitted by the jade pendant disappeared immediately, and everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

But why is everything in the dream so real? Gu Qingzhou thought in his heart.

At this time, Gu Qingzhou's mind was in chaos, he couldn't tell which one was true, the dream and the reality, the false and the false, the false and the true, all of which had made Gu Qingzhou have too many doubts and puzzles.

A dream into the secluded capital, but the past!

Gu Qingzhou struggled to stand up, and suddenly there was a "bang!", and something fell to the ground.

Gu Qingzhou looked down and saw a pitch-black token under his feet, which had just fallen out of him.

I picked up the token casually, and saw the word "Yin" engraved on the front. Gu Qingzhou was suddenly shocked. He slowly turned the token over, and on the back was the three words "Gu Qingzhou", which was exactly the same as the one given to him by the judge in the dream.

"Ghost Realm, Xudu, is everything true?" Gu Qingzhou was even more puzzled in his heart, why did he suddenly go to the Underworld? Could it be because of the Immortal Blood Grass?

Gu Qingzhou grabbed his jade pendant tightly: "What does it have to do with your life experience?"

For a moment, he was a little chaotic and crazy.

"If this capital city is really related to the mystery of my origins, then I will have to break into it again no matter what. ”

"Whew!"

Gu Qingzhou came out of the cave and found that it was already the early morning of the next day, and he spent a whole night in the cave, which means that the dream happened last night.

Standing in the open space next to the waterhole, he stretched and let out a breath of turbidity.

"My body seems to have become much lighter. ”

Gu Qingzhou's heart moved slightly, and he obviously felt that his body had become much lighter than before.

"Drink!"

Gu Qingzhou shouted, clenched his fists into palms, and there was a condensation of spiritual power in his hands, and then a punch burst out.

"Boom!"

A huge splash exploded in the waterhole, and the water column flew more than ten meters into the air, and then fell to the waterhole, causing ripples in a circle, which could not be calmed for a long time.

Gu Qingzhou was very surprised to see the power caused by his random punch, and he couldn't believe it.

"Could it be that the Immortal Blood Immortal Grass has improved my physique?" Gu Qingzhou secretly guessed.

Thinking of this, that strange dream resurfaced in his mind.

"Underworld!"

Gu Qingzhou secretly clenched his fists and said in his mouth.

"Not bad, not bad!"

A familiar voice came into Gu Qingzhou's ears, and he took advantage of the situation and found that the drunkard had come here at some point.

The drunkard was smiling at himself with a cane in one hand and a wine gourd in the other.

"Master?" Gu Qingzhou was slightly surprised in his heart.

Since he was a child, Gu Qingzhou has always cultivated by himself, and he has never taken care of himself since the drunkard threw the "Twelve Chapters of the Dao Sword" to himself, how can he ...... today

"Stinky boy, how do you feel?" the drunkard asked with a look of enjoyment after taking a sip of the wine from the wine gourd.

"Huh?" Gu Qingzhou was a little puzzled.

"It looks like he's in good spirits!" the drunkard nodded with great satisfaction and said to Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou was even more confused, and still didn't understand the meaning of the drunkard's words.

The drunkard shook his head with a smile, and did not explain, but continued: "I have heard that a lot of strange things have happened in the wild city recently, so you can set out into the city to investigate in the past two days." ”

"I'm going to investigate? Isn't that what the City Lord's Mansion should do? Where is the need for me to investigate?" Gu Qingzhou was even more puzzled.

"Hey, you stinky and stingy, Lao Tzu told you to go, you can go, where is there so much nonsense, I let you go to practice, you can practice at home every day to practice a fart!" The drunkard was a little annoyed, and he directly waved his crutches at Gu Qingzhou.

Seeing this, Gu Qingzhou hurriedly hid again, and said with a smile on his face: "Master, you are old, you can't beat it!"

"Stinky boy, see if I don't kill you. ”

......

In the next two days, Gu Qingzhou began to study the "Twelve Chapters of the Dao Sword" frantically, but he was never able to break through the eleventh chapter. In the eleventh chapter of "Dao Sword", he has been stuck for two years.

Gu Qingzhou had just turned five years old when he was young, and the drunkard threw this "Twelve Chapters of the Dao Sword" to him like garbage, and at the age of seven, he successfully understood the first three articles, and at the age of ten, he successfully understood the fourth, fifth and sixth articles, and at the age of twelve, he thoroughly understood the seventh and eighth articles, at the age of thirteen, he had thoroughly understood the ninth chapter, and at the age of fourteen, he had already penetrated the tenth chapter, but now he was sixteen years old, and for two years, the eleventh article could not be broken, and he couldn't help but start to feel a little anxious.

Maybe it's because he's too young, although he has accumulated a lot of knowledge from various ancient books since he was a child, but after all, he got it from books, and he didn't really put it into practice, and the accumulation was still not enough, so he was never able to break it.

This time, the drunkard asked him to go to the wild city to investigate the case, perhaps because he saw his shortcomings, so he asked him to experience some worldly things.

In the early morning of the third day, as soon as the sky was bright, Gu Qingzhou had already gotten up.

In the early morning, the birds in the mountains and forests chirp and sing to their heart's content, and they are very happy. Gu Qingzhou accompanied the cheerful chirping of the birds, quickly prepared breakfast, put it in a pot and warmed it with hot water, and then simply packed his luggage and set off.

The Wild City is the only city in the wilderness, and it is extremely large, with a population of no less than 100,000. Because it is located in the center of the wilderness, it gathers all kinds of chambers of commerce that come and go in the wilderness, and you can almost find all kinds of treasures in the wilderness here.

The Savage City is handled by the City Lord's Mansion to handle the daily affairs, including various cases and disputes in the city, nearby ghost infestations, taxes to and from the Chamber of Commerce, and so on. However, in recent years, it has been a little sluggish and gradually leaned towards the direction of money power.

In the middle of the mountains and forests, a teenager ran quickly. The appearance is delicate, and a pair of charming peach blossom eyes are particularly eye-catching.

A guqin behind the young man, the body of the piano is engraved with phoenix patterns, which shines brightly under the sun, which is obviously not extraordinary.

The boy was a little tired from walking, so he stopped in the shade of a tree to snore. He took out the water bag he was carrying and took a few sips of water, when the breeze blew and his hair was blowing, which was not pleasant.

"Wind?" Gu Qingzhou suddenly felt something.

"If you infuse spiritual power into the soles of your feet and then take advantage of the wind, will it be faster than usual?" Gu Qingzhou thought to himself.

Just do it, Gu Qingzhou didn't care about continuing to rest, and hurriedly put away the water bag, and then sat down to simulate the process of walking in the wind in his mind.

The breeze blew again, and Gu Qingzhou suddenly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes.

He stood up with an excited face, ready to go.

The spiritual power of the whole body was running, and part of it was mobilized by him to the soles of his feet, and when the breeze was in full swing, Gu Qingzhou suddenly exerted his strength, and a faint blue light seemed to appear on the soles of his feet.

"It worked!"

Feeling the whistling wind in his ears, Gu Qingzhou left his feet off the ground and walked all the way in the breeze.

Gu Qingzhou was overjoyed in his heart, and he unconsciously felt a little fluttering.

"Oops!"

Suddenly, his feet were unstable, and Gu Qingzhou fell to the ground fiercely, letting out a miserable scream.

......

Gu Qingzhou practiced walking in the wind all the way, and he was very proud in his heart. In less than half a day, he was already very proficient in walking in the wind.

"It's here!"

Gu Qingzhou stood outside the city gate and looked at the city.

A huge city stood in front of him, the walls of which were made of huge stones, and the top floor was covered with blue bricks. The city gate is as high as ten meters, the magnificence is incomparable, and the three big characters of "Wild City" are inlaid with white jade directly above.

"It's magnificent!"

Gu Qingzhou also hadn't been to the Wild City for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel good, feeling like a countryman entering the city.

"Stop! what are you doing?"

Gu Qingzhou just wanted to enter the city gate, but he didn't want to be stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate.

The soldier looked at the burlap clothes Gu Qingzhou was wearing, and there were even two holes in it, and he looked disgusted.

"Uh, forgot to change my clothes. ”

Gu Qingzhou then remembered that because he had cleaned his only set of good-looking clothes by climbing the mountain two days ago, and then dried them in the yard, he had been busy studying the eleventh article of "Dao Sword" later, so he forgot about it.

"Little brother, I'm from the countryside and want to go into the city on some errands. Gu Qingzhou hurriedly said.

"People from the countryside want to go to the city?"

The soldier guarding the door looked at Gu Qingzhou with disgust and said contemptuously.

"It's okay to enter the city, and it costs two copper plates to enter the city. Another soldier said haughtily.

"Huh?"

Gu Qingzhou was a little surprised, his eyes swept like other people who were entering the city, and found that no one else had paid the so-called "entrance fee".

"I've been to this wild city before, but I don't remember any entrance fees, and no one else has paid them. ”

Gu Qingzhou's face changed slightly, and he said slowly.

"Don't talk nonsense, if you want to enter the city with two copper plates, if you don't have it, don't want to enter the city, this is the rule, understand? Besides, those people are frequent visitors to the Wild City, can you be the same as them?" The soldier guarding the door said with a cold face and some anger.

Obviously, the soldier guarding the gate saw that Gu Qingzhou's clothes were a little shabby, so he deliberately made things difficult, and in this world, only the people who live at the bottom are the best to bully.

"Nature is different. Gu Qingzhou's heart was cold, but he still smiled on his face.

As he spoke, he reached into his pocket with his right hand and groped for a while, took out two copper plates and handed them to the soldier, and said, "Now you can enter the city." ”

"Go, go, go!"

After seeing the copper plate, the soldier immediately smiled, and no longer ignored Gu Qingzhou's shabby clothes, and directly made way for him.

"Hehe, dare to take the master's money? Gu Qingzhou scolded secretly in his heart, but he still smiled on his face, and walked directly into the city gate.

Entering the city gate, all kinds of cries and sales are endless. The wide streets are lined with stalls selling food, groceries, handicrafts, and all sorts of exotic things.

"If you're hungry, let's find a restaurant to satisfy your hunger first. Gu Qingzhou touched his rumbling stomach and muttered to himself.

Wandering aimlessly on the streets, his eyes wandering to the sides of various strange things from time to time.

"This wild city is really prosperous, but the atmosphere is a little worse. Gu Qingzhou thought of his two copper plates, and his heart ached.

Walking to one place, suddenly there were a lot of people in front of him, Gu Qingzhou was a little curious, and squeezed in.

"What's the situation?" Gu Qingzhou squeezed into the crowd and looked inside.

"Damn, you don't have long eyes when you walk, didn't you see that you bumped into Ben Gongzi?"

Before he squeezed in front of him, Gu Qingzhou heard such a voice in his ears.

"Boring!"

Gu Qingzhou instantly lost his desire to see the excitement, thinking that it was nothing more than the son-in-law in the city arrogantly bullying the weak.

Just as he was about to give up, a pleasant woman's voice came into Gu Qingzhou's ears.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. A woman said, her attitude was very humble.

"There are beautiful women?" Gu Qingzhou's heart moved slightly, and he reflexively squeezed into the crowd again.
