Just as Bai Gu finished his daily noon visit, he heard a knock on the door.
Bai Gu glanced at Bai Xiaoxiao, who was not sleeping and was playing with puppets on the bed.
Bai Xiaoxiao understood immediately, put on some clothes, jumped out of bed and opened the door.
"Hello, Brother Wang! My brother is inside."
The person coming was none other than Wang Xizhou.
"Xiao Xiao is so good." Wang Xizhou smiled and greeted Bai Xiao Xiao, then looked up at Bai Gu by the window, "I didn't bother you, Xiao Bai."
"No, no, I just have nothing to do, so I'm sitting in a daze." Bai Gu stood up and sat at the wooden table with Wang Xizhou.
In the morning, Bai Gu had already taken a painkiller given by Lao Liutou, and now he doesn't feel much pain anymore.
good results.
After Bai Xiaoxiao closed the door, she trotted all the way back to bed and continued playing with the little puppet Bai Gu bought for her in the morning.
Bai Gu's eyes fell on the puppet in Bai Xiaoxiao's hand.
It's a little monkey, wearing funny colorful clothes, with exaggerated expressions on its face, and its joints can twist, which is very interesting.
Bai Gu saw many parents buying them for their children, so he picked one for Bai Xiaoxiao.
Originally Bai Gu wanted to buy a butterfly puppet, but a child beat him to it and got there first.
Bai Gu saw that the child didn't come from a wealthy family either. He had to work hard in the pharmacy, carry countless baskets of medicinal materials, and save enough money to buy a puppet.
Seeing the child, Bai Gu remembered himself a few years ago.
At that time, not long after Mrs. Bai passed away, Bai Gu came to Yunshui City for the first time to look for food to fill his stomach. There were many strange things in Yunshui City, which dazzled the curious Bai Gu.
There were also many small vendors selling puppets and dolls on Baihua Street. Bai Gu stood in front of those stalls, unable to move at all.
Because there was no money in his pocket, Bai Gu could only watch, not even daring to come closer.
It was also because he lingered in front of the puppet stall for too long. That day, Bai Gu not only couldn't get a single piece of crumbs from him, but he was also chased and beaten by several vendors in turn.
And because it was his first time traveling between Lingding Alley and Yunshui City, Bai Gu didn't know the way. By the time he returned to Lingding Alley, it was already getting slightly brighter.
After not eating for nearly two days and walking such a long way, Bai Gu was so hungry that he squatted in the alleyway and crazily stuffed snow into his mouth. Although it was cold to the bone from the throat to the stomach, at least there was something in my stomach, which was better than nothing.
It was also at that time that Bai Gu met Brother Peng.
Since then, Bai Gu's life has improved a little with the help of Brother Peng.
Not much, but enough for Bai Gu to barely survive.
That child was very similar to Bai Gu a few years ago. They were both struggling for real life and dreams in their hearts, just like... a dehydrated fish that landed on the beach, jumping hard on the ground in order to survive, trying to return. Get into the water.
Bai Gu didn't want to argue with a child over a doll.
He didn't want to sweep away the interest that a child had accumulated for who knows how long.
Mr. Tang once said that this is called the beauty of adulthood.
I believe Xiaoxiao can understand.
Next time I’ll add a butterfly doll to her.
Just enough to make a pair.
Bai Gu looked away and poured a glass of water for Wang Xizhou, "Brother Wang, is there something wrong?"
Logically speaking, it's lunch break now, so even if you don't sleep, you will take a short rest.
When he came to the door at this time, Bai Gu wouldn't believe it even if he said everything was fine.
Wang Xizhou nodded and said: "It's something. Do you remember the shopkeeper of Chuanqi Xiaolou? He disappeared inexplicably during the Mountain God Festival, and we still can't find his whereabouts. His father and Xizhou are old acquaintances, so please Xizhou helped with the search. Xizhou has also been searching everywhere these days, but found nothing."
Bai Gu thought of the young shopkeeper who took a nap during the day and was on duty in the middle of the night, "Huh? He's missing? I thought he was hiding at that time."
"That's him. So Xizhou came here this time to ask Xiaobai what you think about this matter?"
Bai Gu looked strange, "Perhaps he was swept away by the aftermath and fell to a relatively hidden place?"
What can I say?
I am not familiar with either father and son. One of them has only sat and had a few meals together and talked for a few words. The other has never even met. He is no better than a stranger I meet on the street.
To put it bluntly, what does their life and death have to do with me? I have my own sisters to worry about, so who do they count? Besides, they will have someone to worry about, so it's not my turn to worry about them.
So Bai Gu came up with an idea rather casually and dealt with Wang Xizhou's problem.
Wang Xizhou pretended not to hear the perfunctory tone in Bai Gu's tone, "Brother Duan and Xizhou have searched around Jiaoyue Mountain a few days ago, and there is no trace of Zhang Shi."
Seeing Bai Gu's confusion, Wang Xizhou explained: "Zhang Shi is the shopkeeper of Chuanqi Xiaolou."
Bai Gu suddenly realized, "Then he was accidentally killed by that shadow, and not even the scum was left, right?"
Wang Xizhou hesitated for a moment, "This situation is not impossible."
Bai Gu looked at Wang Xizhou's slightly hesitant face and knew that this guy had already had such thoughts and speculations, so he was not so surprised.
Just this constipated expression, could there be something else going on?
"Is it possible that shopkeeper Zhang is not dead?"
Wang Xizhou sighed softly, "If Zhang Shi dies, Xizhou is not so worried. Although it is bad news, at least he can have an explanation with Mr. Zhang. But according to the current situation, it is unlikely that Zhang Shi will die. .Brother Duan is a wind traveler, and he has a mountain-searching technique, which is very suitable for finding people and things. Xizhou has been walking in mountains and wading for many years, and he also knows how to look for fortune. Brother Duan and Xizhou worked together in the past few days, but there was no harvest at all. "
Bai Gu was stunned.
If Wang Xizhou, who is in the spirit-swallowing realm, only knows a few things about looking for people, the conclusion he draws is not very convincing. Then Duan Qie, a traveler from the extraordinary realm who specializes in searching mountains and rivers and recording humanities and cultural relics, has a very different approach.
If you can't find even one Feng Traveler from the Beyond Mortal Realm, this will be a big deal.
"So Brother Wang, what do you think will happen?"
Wang Xizhou's face was heavy, "It's hard to say, because when the woman's phantom took action, it was difficult for us to resist. We didn't even know when the woman's phantom would recede. It's even harder to say about Zhang Shi's situation."
At this point, Bai Gu understood what Wang Xizhou meant.
He was worried that Zhang Shi would be captured by the female shadow in Jiaoyue Mountain and enslaved into his puppet, or even... be refined alive and become the nourishment for the female shadow's cultivation!
Bai Gu had also heard a lot about using living people to practice evil arts in the Ant Hall. When I was chatting with Bai Gu Duanqie a few days ago, I mentioned it several times. Duanqie also said that it existed, but it was a matter of anger and resentment, and was not tolerated by the world. It was an out-and-out evil path.
Bai Gu picked up the tea cup and took a sip of boiled water. "Brother Wang, if it is really the ghost that caused the ghost, I'm afraid we can't do anything. You must know that there was also Brother Duan, who was in the world that night. Being there, it’s a draw at best.”
Wang Xizhou smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. Xizhou went to a nearby city and found a few friends who were also Shanshui Lang in the Shanshui Workshop. One of them was born to be able to defeat spirits and ghosts, and could fight with them. They fight across borders."
"What is victory?"
"You can understand it as a restrained relationship, just like a cat eats a mouse, water can extinguish fire. This landscape man has a natural ability to overwhelm spiritual ghosts. For spiritual ghosts, this person is walking on one side. seal, and they are just blank sheets of paper unable to resist, and can only be suppressed. The process is like stamping, and the quality of the signature will determine whether they will be dead or injured after the war." Wang Xizhou explained.
Bai Gu nodded and made it clear, "The female shadow is at the Transcendence Realm. She seems to be stronger than Brother Duan. With the help of this Shanshui Lang, there should be no problem, right?"
Wang Xizhou said with a smile: "If the female shadow's cultivation remains unchanged, and with the help of this good friend, the female shadow can be regarded as a spirit-swallowing state, and there will be no big problem."
Bai Gu took a breath, "Suppress the first level directly?! So domineering?"
It doesn't matter if it suppresses a small realm. Some powerful Taoist weapons also have this effect. But there was nothing, so people just stood there, and a big realm fell directly on the opposite side.
What else is there to fight? The opponent can just raise his hands and surrender!
Wang Xizhou smiled and said, "It is said that there is a god. When ghosts see him, it is as if he is visiting heaven and earth. His body is bathed in thunder and his bones are washed in fire. He ignores the realm and naturally overpowers all ghosts in the world. This good friend of Xizhou can be said to be that god's friend. ……miniature."
"Ignore the realm?" Bai Guman was shocked, "Even if he is a mortal and the opponent is a... saint-level ghost, he can still defeat him directly?"
Wang Xizhou nodded.
Bai Gu's whole body was numb.
There are nine realms on the path of cultivation, and this ninth realm is the realm of the saint!
Saints are beings higher than the sky and dazzling than the sun. Looking at the world, there are only a few people who can reach the realm of saints. To say they are rare is to praise the word.
But even such a character, oh no, a ghost, will still fall down when encountering a naturally overwhelming existence, or even surrender!
This is called spiritual practice! He is born with a special ability, which is of great benefit to his own practice.
Looking back at myself, I have nothing, I am just an ordinary ordinary person.
Bai Gu rolled his eyes in his heart.
Sure enough, you still have to recognize the reality, you are just an ordinary guy. If it weren't for the help of the old guy, I might still be wandering between Lingding Lane and Yunshui City, settling down in the back alleys worrying about food every day.
Useless.
But Bai Gu quickly regained his composure.
Now is not the time to be sentimental.
"Even if we encounter the female shadow again, it shouldn't be difficult with the natural overwhelming power of the Shanshui Lang. In that case, why did Brother Wang come to me? Just go to Jiaoyue Mountain. ?"
Wang Xizhou looked at Bai Gu with a sincere expression, "Last time, Brother Duan and the three of us had a very difficult time facing the phantom of the woman, but in the end they managed to escape. Xizhou thought about it later, maybe it was Xiao Bai You are lucky enough to help us out of danger. So this time, Xizhou is bold and wants you, Xiaobai, to go to Jiaoyue Mountain with us to add some luck to us, just in case."
Bai Gu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice.
Hey, no, you guys in the Soul-Swallowing Realm want me to go to the Soul-Enlightening Realm to give you luck?
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
