Chapter 18 People are gone
After completing his inspection duties in a bored manner, Gu Zuo began to think about the next training matters.
Because he knew that he started too late, he maintained a state of hunger and thirst in practice, wanting to catch up with the "normal level" as soon as possible. Practice was also the step for him to change his life. Without it, he dared not imagine what he would be.
It seems that the wandering days before coming to Shanyin County almost caused him to starve to death.
He has absorbed eleven spiritual stones, which has consolidated his cultivation at the initial stage of the Qi Refiner, but this is not enough. He needs more spiritual stones.
Yesterday, Gu Zuo handed over his monthly routine to Chen Liu, and Gu Zuo still had one left. This time he wanted to buy another spiritual stone.
After much deliberation, Gu Zuo decided to go find Luo Xindi. After going back to Xiaogushan to get the money, Gu Zuo rushed to the gate of Liulin Sect, waited for an hour, and asked a disciple of Liulin Sect to invite Luo Xindi out.
Gu Zuo handed the bundle to Luo Xiandi. The copper coins in the bundle swayed, making an attractive sound of hitting and rubbing.
"Senior Sister Luo, this is the money I owe you for buying spiritual stones last time. Please order some of it, Senior Sister."
Luo Xiandi smiled and said, "Junior brother Gu is too polite. He said he didn't need to pay it back."
This "Junior Brother" is not that "Junior Brother", it is just a commonly used title among fellow monks, but after all, it represents Luo Xindi, a high disciple of the Liulin Sect, who recognizes him. When he heard that he was finally called "Junior Brother Gu", Gu Zuo's heart
Emotion.
"Senior Sister can give me spiritual stones to help me practice. It has already done me a great favor. If Senior Sister does not accept it, I, Gu Zuo, will have trouble sleeping and eating, which will also be detrimental to my practice. I also ask Senior Sister to help me."
Luo Xianti praised: "If you are poor but not greedy, if you have this Taoist heart, you will be able to practice in the future."
Gu Zuo hurriedly learned the lesson: "Thank you, Senior Sister, for your encouragement. I will always remember Senior Sister's teachings."
While bowing and saluting, Gu Zuo silently muttered: "There is more to come, there is more to come."
Sure enough, Luo Xiandi's following words came as she was looking forward to it: "Junior brother was here last time." She raised her head slightly and recalled.
Gu Zuo immediately replied: "Twenty-three days ago."
Luo Xiandi nodded and said with a smile: "Do you remember that the spirit stones have been used up?"
Gu Zuo quickly took out the two spiritual stones that were already dim in color: "They must have been used up, right? Junior brother, I don't have a teacher to give me guidance, so I can only ask my senior sister for trouble."
It is said that the most pitiful disciples are those who have no teacher to guide them. Luo Xiandi's compassion was stirred again, and she sighed softly and said: "If you have any problem, just come to me, I won't find it troublesome. You have these two spiritual stones."
When it is used up, look at the color. If there is no warm fluorescence of white jade, and no spiritual energy appears when it is absorbed, it is considered used up. It is just a piece of waste stone, which can be discarded. There is no need to carry it with you all the time. "
Gu Zuo put the spirit stone back into his sleeve: "It's better to keep it for reflection."
Luo Xiandi was stunned, looked at Gu Zuo for a moment, and took out a spiritual stone from her arms: "Your cultivation speed is still very fast. You can use this spiritual stone first. It should be enough for you to practice until the end of the month. Come back next month."
Come to me and I will find a solution for you."
Gu Zuo hesitated and said: "How is this appropriate? Senior sister also needs to practice."
Luo Xiandi smiled proudly: "I still have some reputation in the sect, so it's not difficult to get some spiritual stones."
Gu Zuo took it and bowed again: "Thank you very much, Senior Sister. Gu Zuo is deeply grateful. I will give you my usual gift next month so that I will not embarrass Senior Sister!"
Luo Xiandi said: "It's up to you, don't worry."
Gu Zuo started practicing immediately after returning to Xiaogushan. He spent three days absorbing the spiritual power in the spirit stone and left the house with satisfaction.
After walking around the yard for two times, I suddenly turned my head and saw a strong man hurriedly coming up from the mountain road in the distance.
It seemed strange at first glance, but at second glance, I remembered that the strong man I had seen at Chen Liu's house a few days ago was practicing martial arts with Chen Liu, and I vaguely remembered that Chen Liu called him "Lao Jiu."
He opened the firewood door and walked out. When he saw the strong man, he quickened his steps and came closer, cupping his fists and saying, "I've seen Master Gu!"
Gu Zuodao: "I've seen you before, you are Jiu"
The strong man said: "Little man Chen Jiu, Brother Six is my cousin."
Gu Zuo asked: "Hello, Brother Chen. Brother Six asked you to come to me?"
Chen Jiu's eyes suddenly turned red and he choked with sobs: "Brother Six is dead."
"What?"
"Brother Six is dead!"
Gu Zuo was stunned for a moment, and then asked again: "Where is Jiang Qi?"
Chen Jiuhu had tears in his eyes: "He's dead too!"
Gu Zuo couldn't believe it for a moment, a chill suddenly arose in his heart, and asked: "When? How did you die?"
Chen Jiudao: "Early that morning, Sixth Brother went to my place and told me that he had to do something. If there was any accident, he asked me to come to Xiaogushan to find the owner Gu. I asked him what it was about, but he didn't say anything.
, I just said that it was no big deal, just as a precaution, and did not let me follow him. I just said that the owner of the museum knows. In the evening, I received news from the brothers that when he and Brother Qi were taking a boat in Xijiang, the boat
flipped!"
Gu Zuo suddenly remembered the scene when Chen Liu and Jiang Qi left by boat at Hejia Pier. He didn't expect that the gentle nod at that time would actually mean goodbye forever.
Chen Jiu said with red eyes: "Brothers all said that Sixth Brother and Seventh Brother were in an accident, but I know it must not be the case! So I came here to ask the owner to tell me what happened."
Gu Zuo was shocked for a moment, then came to his senses and asked, "Have you found the body?"
Chen Jiuhong said with eyes: "The brothers searched for a whole day before they found it at Dongtantou. When I rushed there, they were already taken in by the county police. The police said that he died of drowning. I went to the Yamen again yesterday, and Zhang Xingcao said that he had soaked in water.
Their corpses are prone to infection, and they melted after being examined. Poor my sixth and seventh brothers, their bones are intact."
Gu Zuo greeted: "Brother Chen, don't worry, come and talk first."
Chen Jiu followed Gu Zuo into the door, sat on the stone pier and begged: "How did my sixth brother die? Please tell Gu Gu the owner, Xiao Jiu is very grateful!"
Gu Zuo pondered for a moment and said: "I don't know exactly what is going on here. I can only give a rough idea. The He family lost two civet cats and asked me to find one of them. Something happened to your sixth brother and Jiang Qi.
The day before, they came to me and said that Team Leader Ji had found another one and asked them to send it back. I applied for a job in the county's monk fast class to guard against demonic cultivators. I was on duty to inspect the section on the north bank of the river. In the morning
At that time, when I inspected the Hejia Pier, I also saw your Sixth Brother and Jiang Qi. They had just come out of the Hejia Pier. They had settled the matter and didn't find anything unusual. I even watched them board the ship and leave.
I haven’t gone out since I came back, I have been practicing in the house, how could I have known it would happen?”
Chen Jiu stood up suddenly: "Did the He family do it?"
Gu Zuo quickly stopped him: "Don't make random guesses. According to me, this matter has nothing to do with the He family."
Chen Jiu pressed the knife on his waist: "Is that Team Leader Ji?"
Gu Zuodao: "It's hard to say whether he is Team Leader Ji or not. We can't rely on others without proof! We can't act rashly at this time. We still need to find out. You just said that there is a group of brothers...how many can be mobilized now?
manpower?"
