Inexplicably, Old Man Liu felt that the scene in front of him was familiar.
He remembered that many years ago there was a middle-aged man in a green shirt who looked somewhat similar to the young man in black clothes and white hair in front of him.
But it's just a resemblance.
Old man Liu was holding the boat down the river. Gu Qing put his hands on the boat and looked at the flowing water, sensing the aura of the monks nearby. However, he had not felt the aura of other monks all the way to the vicinity of Qingyang Town. .
The mountains on both sides are all dark yellow in color, and many fallen leaves are piled together on the water surface. These fallen leaves are stuck together in pieces and attached to the rocks on the bank of the stream.
After getting off the boat, Gu Qing said goodbye to Old Man Liu.
"This young man... Young Master, I have something to ask of you." Old man Liu hurriedly dragged the boat ashore, tied it to a pile, and chased Gu Qing, who was walking slowly forward.
"But it doesn't matter."
Gu Qing raised his eyebrows.
The reason why he deliberately let Old Man Liu catch up was because he felt a monk aura from Old Man Liu.
Old man Liu became a monk.
Gu Qing had noticed this the moment he left the stone monument space.
Old Man Liu's cultivation level is only at the first level of Qi Refining.
Gu Qing guessed that Old Man Liu might have swallowed some spiritual fruit by mistake. By chance, he introduced the energy into his body and gained cultivation.
This is a good thing, but it also has quite a few drawbacks.
If Old Man Liu had not encountered any changes in his life and had been making a living by fishing honestly, with this kind of spiritual power nourishing his body, he would not have a problem living to be one hundred, thirty or forty years old.
And he will never get sick.
It is a good thing to live a long time and still get sick.
As for the disadvantages, they are also obvious.
However, if he encounters any evil cultivator with malicious intentions, Old Man Liu will be chopped into pieces and eaten whole.
"Young master, are you an immortal master?"
Old man Liu asked with hope.
The chuckle on Gu Qing's face remained unchanged and he nodded slightly.
Old man Liu was overjoyed immediately. He swallowed, rubbed his hands and said to Gu Qing: "That's it. Old man, I accidentally fell into the water a month ago and swallowed something that looked like a bead. After that, I always felt like this My stomach was bloated, and it seemed like there was air running around inside. Fortunately, the old man had practiced some rural postures in the past few years, so the old man pushed down the air, and finally discharged a lot of black stuff. He felt refreshed. .”
Gu Qing's expression did not change, and his consciousness quietly scanned Old Man Liu's belly, but he couldn't find anything that looked like beads.
It seems that that thing is either some kind of spiritual fruit or some kind of elixir.
However, it was transformed by Old Man Liu through martial arts training by coincidence, which allowed Old Man Liu to successfully introduce Qi into his body and possess the spiritual power of the first level of Qi refining.
Old man Liu paused for a moment, and looked at the expression of the young man in black clothes and white hair. Seeing that the young man in black clothes and white hair had no abnormal appearance, he continued: "It's just that in the past few days, news came from the town that there is an immortal." The master lost the elixir..."
Old Man Liu spoke eloquently for half a quarter of an hour, and Gu Qing listened patiently.
"Are you afraid that the immortal master who lost the elixir knows that you have eaten the elixir and will take you back and disembowel you?" Gu Qing glanced into the distance and asked.
"yes."
Old man Liu lowered his head slightly.
"How did you know that the beads you ate were the immortal master's elixir? Besides, even if you really ate the elixir, it would be useless if they took you back and disembowelled you. It is possible to make a human elixir." Gu Qing said calmly.
"Human Dan! What is that?"
Old man Liu was stunned when he heard this.
Gu Qing did not respond.
At this time, night had fallen, and he sensed a few breaths of low-level Qi Refining monks from a distance, not far away in Qingyang Town.
"Let's do this, you and Gu return to Qingyang Town, and Gu will naturally make arrangements with the immortal masters separately." Gu Qing nodded to Old Man Liu and walked towards Qingyang Town with his hands behind his back.
When Old Man Liu saw this, he glanced at his boat and hurriedly followed the young man in black clothes and white hair. However, he realized that no matter how hard he chased the young man in black clothes and white hair, he still could not catch up and could only stay far away. Far behind.
The black clothes were caressed by the breeze. Gu Qing twirled a strand of crystal white hair and walked leisurely on the path leading to Qingyang Town.
Along the way, I met very few people.
It wasn't until we entered Qingyang Town that things became more lively.
The traffic was busy and noisy as before.
Gu Qing stopped at the place where the evil cultivator was about to disperse, and looked at the troupe who was singing on the high platform.
I heard from the people on both sides that the nearby Jiuqu County was massacred inexplicably not long ago, and several nearby villages were also affected. After that, the people of Qingyang Town were in fear for a long time, and many people left their hometowns. , for fear that Qingyang Town would also be massacred.
This troupe is the director of the pavilion of Qingyang Town. He spent a lot of money to invite it a few days ago, mainly to appease people's hearts.
Gu Qing stood under the stage, behind the seats of several white-clothed monks, standing with his hands behind his hands, watching the opera above.
After you sing, I will take the stage.
As waves of characters come and go, a drama is enacted in which a general dies in service to his country, a traitor murders his widow, and the widow files a petition to impeachment.
"This Li Wei is really hateful. If this is what I think, I should kill him and castrate him with one sword, so that he won't dare to be lustful again!"
"That's what Senior Sister Huang said."
"This guy named Li Wei has never met Senior Sister Huang. If he had met Senior Sister Huang, he would have been castrated! Junior brother, do you think... you, you, you, what are you?"
Several white-clothed monks in front chatted for a few words, and there was a small-eyed third-level Qi-refining cultivator who turned around and saw a young man in black clothes and white hair standing behind them.
Several white-clothed monks turned around one after another, and other people also noticed the strange behavior of the immortal masters and looked at Gu Qing.
Being stared at by everyone, Gu Qing's expression did not change.
His eyes still stayed on the stage above.
Among the white-clothed monks, the female cultivator with the highest level of cultivation frowned slightly and looked at Gu Qing. She couldn't see through this person's level of cultivation. She felt that her eyes looked like a piece of thousand-year-old ice without any aura of being human. Leaked, very weird.
"May I ask this fellow Taoist if he is here to find me?"
The female cultivator flashed her beautiful eyes and asked.
"Of course, why would I be standing behind you?" Gu Qing slightly lowered his head and responded with a slight smile on his face.
The female cultivator's heart skipped a beat.
"Ahem!" She coughed lightly, gathered her thoughts, and bowed with her fists in a decent manner, "Huang Tao, an inner disciple of the Danding Sect, has met a Taoist friend. What do you call him?"
"Gu Qing, a deacon disciple of the Xianhe Sect."
Gu Qing responded calmly.
Before he finished speaking, he turned to look behind him.
The old man Liu, who had a red face there, caught up with him panting, and came to Gu Qing's side. He looked at the white-clothed monks in front of him with a bit of confusion.
Before the scene was finished, Old Man Liu finally caught up.
Huang Tao and others looked at each other in disbelief when they saw Old Man Liu, who had a low level of Qi refining, weak spiritual power, and looked like a fisherman, and then the pretty Huang Tao was the first to react.
"Have you taken the elixir of enlightenment?!"
Huang Tao pointed at Old Man Liu with a look of horror on his face.
Several other white-clothed monks also reacted and looked at Old Man Liu with the same horror.
If they weren't worried about Gu Qing's unknown cultivation level, they might have already taken action, tied up Old Man Liu, and escorted him back to the Alchemy Sect to be dealt with by his uncle.
"What grade is the Tongqiao Spirit Pill?" Gu Qing asked calmly, and he also realized that he seemed to be in trouble.
He originally thought that Old Man Liu's own spiritual root qualifications were pretty good, so he took some spiritual fruit or pills such as Qi-tonifying pills, and by chance he broke through to the first level of Qi refining.
But looking at the performance of the female cultivator surnamed Huang and the others in front of him, Gu Qing immediately knew that this matter was by no means that simple.
"The Tongqiao Lingdan is a third-grade mid-level elixir. It belongs to my alchemy sect, Su Yuhang, my uncle. He spent ten years preparing before starting to refine the elixir. When the furnace was opened, twelve elixirs were produced. The elixir had spirit and turned into dragons and soaring clouds." , two of the twelve elixirs escaped from the formation of my Alchemy Cauldron Sect, turned into spiritual fish, and lurked in the water system of Huaining County for more than a month."
Huang Tao responded in a daze.
Gu Qing almost turned around and left.
A third-grade mid-level elixir.
An elixir of this level would probably cost tens of thousands of mid-grade spiritual stones, and would usually be traded for upper-grade spiritual stones.
I didn't expect that Old Man Liu would be in such big trouble.
Gu Qing swallowed.
He turned around, looked at Old Man Liu, whose face was red and still confused, and said slowly: "Gu is helpless."
As he said that, Gu Qing ignored Old Liu who was stunned when he heard the words. He ducked and came behind Huang Tao and other monks.
The eyes of Huang Tao and others were dazzled, and then they realized that Gu Qing was running behind them. Their expressions changed slightly and they quickly dispersed, but Huang Tao bit her lower lip.
Huang Tao glanced at the old man Liu and then at Gu Qing.
"Can this old fisherman afford to pay for a third-grade mid-level elixir? No, I have to let Gu Qing from the Xianhe sect drag him down."
Huang Tao thought anxiously.
She turned her eyes to Gu Qing and looked at him intently.
"You must have secreted the elixir of enlightenment." Huang Tao suddenly pointed at Gu Qing and raised her face in a serious tone, "This fisherman is an honest and honest man. You must have found someone to help you, so you must hand over the elixir of enlightenment quickly, otherwise if……"
She hasn't finished speaking yet.
An extremely cold gaze made her freeze with fear.
His upper and lower teeth trembled, Huang Tao quail-like shrinking his body: "Um, Senior Brother Gu from the Xianhe Sect, right? The Immortal Sect in the world is one family, and the little girl felt that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, so she told a joke to lighten it up, Mo Strange."
Gu Qing withdrew his gaze.
