Branches and leaves were flying around him, and ravines were leaping across. Gu Zuo walked faster and faster, only the rugged mountain road was left in his eyes. The true energy flowed in the body, evaporating the dense air above his head, which was thick and not dissipated.

I ran until dusk in one breath, and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of joy!

The pace slowed down, Gu Zuo found a dry place, sat down, and just stared in a daze quietly in the dark mountain forest...

The light of that sword and the yellow robe that covered the sky and sun left an indelible mark on Gu Zuo's heart.

It wasn't until a night owl flew up from nowhere and landed somewhere in the forest that he woke up and started to count his property again.

When he was knocked down from the tree, he didn't know where his backpack fell. The fake compass, fake bells, a lot of food, and a change of clothes were all gone. There wasn't much space in the storage lever, Gu Zuo

So I threw all these worthless things that took up space in my backpack, and only stored the important things in my thumb. Now that I think about it, it's a pity.

Fortunately, there are the Hengyi Sword, "Souling Jue", "Miaosu Alchemy Sutra", Ningzhen Alchemy Furnace, five small flags, more than ten accumulated spiritual stones, ten flying tickets, a few coppers and gym tickets.

, Taoist certificates, ox-horn daggers, fishing lines, etc. are all lying quietly in the ring, otherwise the losses will be huge.

At dawn, Gu Zuo already felt hungry in his belly. It is said that practitioners can live without grains, which is a bit exaggerated. Those who can truly live without grains for a long time are those who are highly skilled in alchemy.

Compared with ordinary people, monks have a greater need for food because they consume more food. Only when they absorb spiritual stones, they do not need to consume food temporarily, because the spiritual power in the spiritual stones can cover part of the food requirements.

.Only when you reach the golden elixir state and your body has formed a golden elixir that can continuously supply the needs of your whole body, you can go without food for a long time.

He had made some achievements in practice, and he was particularly good at tracking and capturing the spiritual energy he had learned. He was hundreds of times better than before. He started to cast the spell, and soon he tracked some traces of wild animals. He followed the tracks to find a hole in the ground and waited patiently.

After a while, I caught a fat mountain rabbit.

After skinning and removing the internal organs, Gu Zuo made a fire and roasted them. After eating and drinking enough, he continued to walk through the mountains and forests. For some people, it was best to hide far away.

He traveled like this for seven consecutive days and didn't know how far he had traveled. He drank from mountain springs when he was thirsty and ate wild game when he was hungry. It sounded carefree, but it was okay to live this kind of life occasionally, but it was not a long-term solution unless he didn't want to continue practicing.

Before you reach the state of Bigu, you can't do without the trivial matters of life. You spend most of your time on food and clothing every day, so how can you practice?

So, after seven days, he started looking for a way down the mountain.

With his level of cultivation, these hills and ridges in the hinterland of the Central Plains were no problem at all. He looked in one direction, climbed up when encountering cliffs, and jumped when encountering ditches. It didn't take long for him to find a gurgling stream, and he followed it down the mountain as the sun set.

I saw people in front of me.

Looking down from the mountainside, you can see a village with about a hundred households scattered among the fields, nearly half of which are gathered together to guard the big house in the middle.

In such a village, usually one surname is used, and the big house in the middle should be the home of the patriarch of the village.

Gu Zuo stood at a high place and looked down at the big house. He could vaguely see the figures of people moving in the house, but he couldn't see clearly. However, the scale and layout of the house clearly showed the wealth of the owner.

Find a place to stay, meet the basic needs of life, practice peace of mind for a while, and sort out your mood. This is what Gu Zuo needs most now.

Looking down at his outfit, Gu Zuo sighed softly. At this time, he began to regret the lost backpack again. If the compass and the copper bell were still there, setting up a stall in front of the mansion to tell fortunes would be more like this

It's true, but now even the clothes on my body are damaged, it's really embarrassing.

But no matter how great the difficulty is, Gu Zuo cannot be afraid of it. As the saying goes, a person cannot be judged by his appearance. Whether a monk has true ability cannot be judged by his dress. It is too superficial! Without Shanyin County, Gu Zuo can't stand up and down.

I don’t dare to say that I can create a vast world, but it shouldn’t be difficult to provide food and clothing.

Going down to the foot of the mountain, Gu Zuo found some grass stalks and made them into a rope, tied his somewhat ragged clothes tightly around his waist, and then took out the Hengyi sword and tied it up, making it look much cleaner and neater.

I took a sip of water from a puddle and purified my face a little. Looking at my reflection, I felt refreshed.

He raised his arms and encouraged himself: "You have to work hard!"

Gu Zuo walked across the fields with a majestic momentum, holding a sword in his left hand and his right hand on his waist, and entered the village with great dignity.

A flurry of excitement!

But why is there no one there?

Smoke curled up from the cooking pots, and the aroma of rice hit him, making Gu Zuo's stomach growl. It turned out that every household in the village was cooking.

Gu Zuo's throat turned, he swallowed back his saliva, and began to look for the target.

After walking around the village for a long time, he didn't see many people. He also realized that he might have entered the village at the wrong time, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

A group of urchins with beards suddenly ran out from behind a thatched cottage, each armed with wooden swords, sticks, and wooden knives. They chased each other and circled around him twice.

Gu Zuo had an amiable smile on his face, and as soon as he bent down, the group of urchins ran around in a circle again.

Seeing that the sun was going to completely set in a few moments, and then every house would be closed and they would have to wait for tomorrow, Gu Zuo couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

He happened to see a big stone half a person tall at the corner. On the stone was a little girl of four or five years old, pouting with an unhappy look on her face. Gu Zuo hurriedly stepped forward.

"kid?"

"?"

"Well, you kid, why are you unhappy?"

"They don't let me play."

Gu Zuo had no choice but to take out a copper coin: "Do you want to buy some candies?"

"think!"

"But you have to promise uncle a condition, okay?"

"What?"

"Is there anything in your family that makes you unhappy recently? Tell your uncle and he will give it to you."

Gu Zuo is planning to start from the little girl's house, first make a name for himself, and then go to the big house to enjoy the treatment of an expert.

The little girl thought for a while and told Gu Zuo that her father injured his foot while plowing yesterday and got angry at her. She was very unhappy.

Gu Zuo asked the girl a few more questions about the situation at home. He felt confident and coaxed the little girl: "Good boy, you go home first and say that there is a strange person outside who knows magic and wants to kill your mother or your family."

Other elders, well, it's best to bring them over, grandparents, etc., I'll wait here."

After thinking for a while, he added: "If they don't come, you will cry and spit..."

The little girl held the coins and said, "I'm going to Lady Shui's house to buy some candies."

Gu Zuo reached out and pinched the little girl's pink face, scaring her: "Promise to uncle first, or uncle will take the money back! Go quickly!"

The little girl ran away quickly, looking back as she ran. Gu Zuo waved to her, indicating to go quickly, and sat down on the big rock, in a squatting position.

After thinking about it, he took off the Hengyi Sword from his waist and placed it horizontally on his legs. The scabbard popped open three inches, revealing a section of the sword inside. Then he closed his eyes slightly and quietly waited for his first blow.
Chapter completed!
