In the next three days, Gu Xifeng visited many interesting places in Beidou City under the guidance of the monkey. The two children played and laughed in the city. Gu Xifeng hadn't played so crazy for a long time. As his mood relaxed, It feels like the bottleneck in the middle stage of getting started with external skills has loosened up a bit.
Although there are only five major realms of cultivation, except for the rapid breakthrough of the initial realm, each minor realm becomes more and more difficult.
The loosening of the bottleneck made Gu Xifeng feel happier, and the two children became more familiar with each other.
In the evening, in a ruined temple in the city, there was a faint light of fire, and two small figures were busy inside.
"Monkey, I'll do it." Gu Xifeng snatched the huge potato that Monkey was roasting.
"Why are you grabbing? You haven't baked potatoes before." The monkey staggered and was a little dissatisfied.
"It's been a long time since I've baked, and I'm a little itchy. Just wait, and I'll bake you a hugely delicious potato!" Gu Xifeng started to operate skillfully.
"If it doesn't taste good, I won't be done with you... Huh." Monkey stood up, crossed his arms, and pretended to be angry.
After roasting for a while, peel off the charred skin and sprinkle with seasonings. Suddenly, an alluring aroma wafts out.
Gu Xifeng handed the baked potatoes to the monkey.
The monkey couldn't wait to bite it.
"Ah, it's so hot, so hot." The hot monkey screamed, but he didn't spit it out. He chewed it and swallowed it.
"It smells so good. This is the best baked potato I have ever eaten." The monkey blew hard and took another bite.
"It's delicious. My Uncle Lu has taught me how to cook this. My Uncle Lu's cooking skills are beyond words." Gu Xifeng said with a proud tone. "If I have a chance, I'll ask Uncle Lu to cook you something delicious. I'm sure you'll have endless aftertaste."
"Xifeng, I really envy you. You have an uncle to take care of you. Since my father passed away two years ago, I have been making a living in the city by myself. All I think about every day is how to survive. Hey." Monkey's tone was full of loneliness and he sighed deeply. Take a breath.
"Monkey, do you have no other relatives?" Gu Xifeng patted Monkey comfortingly and asked.
"I have no relatives. To be honest, we are not from Yingzhou. My hometown is in Liangzhou. My mother died young and my father brought me here to live alone." Monkey was still nibbling potatoes, and his mood gradually recovered. It's like talking about someone else's business.
"Xifeng, are we friends?" The monkey pondered for a moment and looked at Gu Xifeng hopefully.
"Of course, I don't have many friends, but you must be one of them!" Gu Xifeng said, patting his chest.
"Okay, let me tell you something. I have never mentioned these words to others. My father told me before he died. You must not tell others."
Seeing Gu Xifeng nod solemnly, Monkey continued talking.
"I don't know if you have heard of the Jin'an Dynasty. It was once the most powerful dynasty in the Central Plains. Five years ago, the Jin'an Palace suddenly mutated and the Jin'an royal family almost died. The commander-in-chief of the three armies of Jin'an rebelled. The founding of the Three Continents is the current three kingdoms of Xinhan, Wuzhao, and Beichu."
Monkey didn't notice that when he mentioned Jin An, Gu Xifeng's expression changed slightly, but it quickly returned to normal.
"My father was a lieutenant general of the Yingxiao Army, one of the three armies of Jin'an. He was dissatisfied with the commander-in-chief who committed regicide and usurped the throne and was unwilling to serve in the rebellion, so he wanted to move his family away."
"That night, the news came out that hundreds of soldiers from the Eagle Screaming Army launched a siege on my family, and all my relatives were killed. Fortunately, several of my father's military commanders among the soldiers risked their lives to save me, and my father paid the price of serious injuries. They brought me out, and finally we arrived at Yingzhou after a bumpy journey."
"It was at that time that my father was left with irreparable injuries. He struggled for several years and taught me many ways to make a living and practice while dragging his body that was gradually running out of oil. Then he died of a recurrence of his old injuries the year before last."
"I still clearly remember that my father, who had already passed away, suddenly seemed to have recovered that day. He told me many stories about the glory that once belonged to the Jin'an Dynasty, the glory of the Eagle Screaming Army, and those golden horses. "
"As he talked, my father's face gradually became lifeless, and his speech became less and less energetic. Even I, who was only five years old at the time, could tell that my father was returning to his former glory."
"On his deathbed, my father said that he didn't regret that he had ended up like this. He just regretted that he hadn't seen Jin'an return to his country and that he hadn't seen me grow up."
"He said he was born in Jin'an and died in Jin'an!"
"He hopes that I will always remember that I am from Jin'an. If the king comes back to the country one day, I will definitely kill the rebels on his behalf!"
"At the last moment before his death, he was unable to stand up. He still raised his arms and breathed out four words with his last strength."
"Protect Jin'an forever!"
"To be honest, I have no impression of the Jin'an Dynasty at all, but at that moment, I felt the honor of being a Jin'an person. If possible, I will live up to my father's instructions!" Monkey stood up and clenched his fists. He said each word firmly, with tears glistening in his eyes.
"Monkey, don't worry, I will keep the secret for you." Gu Xifeng looked very excited and held Monkey's hand, solemnly promising.
"You've been listening to me for a long time, let's talk about you too." The monkey gently wiped away his tears and slowly calmed down.
Gu Xifeng was not moved to tell the secret buried in his heart, but just told the monkey what he said to Er Zhuang back then.
The monkey also sympathized with Gu Xifeng's tragic experience, and the bond between the two children who had the same problem deepened.
After regaining their mood, the two roasted corn, sweet potatoes and many other foods together and had a delicious meal.
After meeting to go to the City Lord's Mansion the next day, Gu Xifeng said goodbye to the monkey and walked to an alley next to the inn where he and Uncle Lu were staying. Gu Xifeng leaned against the wall and muttered to himself.
"Uncle Xiao, although I don't know your specific name, thank you for your loyalty to our Jin'an Dynasty!"
"Don't worry, the monkey met me. I, Chu Zhongan, swear that one day, I will return to Yong'an City with the monkey, kill the rebels, and restore the glory of Jin'an!"
After saying this, all the energy and blood in Gu Xifeng's body was mobilized and condensed into his fist, and he punched the wall of the alley. With a bang, a hole as big as a bowl appeared in the wall, which was five inches deep.
Then Gu Xifeng's aura increased a lot, and he actually broke through, and his external skill reached the late stage of entry level.
Seeing that the loud sound had attracted the attention of nearby residents, Gu Xifeng quickly fled the scene and returned to the inn.
Returning to the room, he stretched his muscles and groaned in comfort.
"Breakthrough?" Uncle Lu glanced at Gu Xifeng and saw his current state.
"Well, Uncle Lu, this will give you more confidence to go to the Galaxy Sect." Gu Xifeng chuckled, his tone full of confidence.
"Xifeng, remember no matter how much cultivation you have achieved, never underestimate any enemy." Lu Zhengliang said earnestly again.
"I know, my uncle, you don't have to remind me three times a day. Even if a baby offends me, I will beat him until he can't resist." Gu Xifeng made a few gestures with a smile on his face.
Lu Zhengliang slapped the back of his head angrily, without using much force.
