Outside Fulong City, Gu Meng and his party were standing at the gate of the city, waiting to be inspected by the soldiers guarding the city.
In the bustling crowd, Gu Meng and his party were originally inconspicuous.
However, this extremely fat pig demon is really eye-catching. Even among the pedestrians coming and going, some are riding strange creatures, like some kind of snow-white horses with one horn, with three The golden leopard with its eyes, the black rhinoceros with its sunburst-like pattern, four auspicious clouds on its soles, and so on.
However, it can only be said that the people who come here have unique tastes and strength, so that they can tame them.
Although if you want to bring these rare and exotic beasts into the city, you need to spend extra money as a deposit before you are allowed to enter, but those who can afford to raise such creatures will naturally not care about these small sums of money.
However, those who ride oxen, horses, lions, tigers, and giant eagles and birds are all considered common. Those who ride pigs and use pigs to pull carts are really rare!
Therefore, as soon as this pig demon appeared at the city gate, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Why are there still people using pigs to pull carts? This is the first time I've seen them!"
"Maybe what kind of pig is this! Tsk tsk, this pig is no ordinary pig at first glance. It can actually pull one, two, three, four... Huh? Isn't that the eldest lady of the Gu family? Why is she following those sitting pigs? Are the people in the car together?"
"The eldest lady of the Gu family! And the eldest elder of the Gu family? This...could this be foreign aid invited by the Gu family?"
"Almost everyone in this group is a reserved and secretive person. I think it's probably the case!"
"Huh? Why did Mr. Yuehai get there?"
"Yes, didn't you say that Senior Yuehai had already announced that he would not join any family in this life?"
"Elder Yuehai was a sixth-grade alchemist back then! Unfortunately, due to overwork and illness, his hands have been disabled, and there is no hope for him to make alchemy again in this life. However, he took the opportunity to concentrate on studying various rare and exotic beasts. , exotic flowers and exotic herbs, from which I gained profound knowledge and also won the respect of everyone."
"Yeah, I've seen him look like this. This is the look he gets when he sees something that interests him."
"This...he seems to be staring at the pig?"
…………
I saw a skinny old man, wearing a thin purple robe, squeezing out of the crowd and walking straight towards Meng and his group.
Jiang Zhiyuan moved slightly without leaving any trace, protected Jiang Xianfeng behind him, and stared at the old man with sharp eyes.
As soon as the old man came up, he ran straight towards the pig demon, which made the pig demon dodge repeatedly in shock.
Yi Niao also stopped him in a hurry and asked, "You...who are you? What do you want to do to me, a pig?"
At this time, Gu Meng stood in front of Yiniao and explained, "This old man is a highly respected and knowledgeable old man in our Fulong City, named Yuehai. He has always been fascinated by these rare and exotic beasts. Huayicao is very interested and specializes in studying these."
When the old man heard this, he looked at Yiniao with a smile and said, "Little brother, do you want to sell this pig? If so, just give me a price!"
When Yi Niao heard this, he suddenly burst into laughter. Someone actually wanted to buy this pig? He’s not afraid that the pig will eat him up! Also, this pig is a sixth-grade demon. How can an ordinary person afford it? This old man doesn’t look like a rich man, so how can he afford it?
"If you don't want to sell it, don't sell it. My pig is a relic of an ancient mythical beast. It is unparalleled in the world and a priceless treasure. How can I sell it casually!" Yiniao waved his hand and firmly rejected the old man's request.
The old man didn't give up when he saw this, and said, "Then...if you don't want to sell it, can you lend me to study it for two days, or sell some of its meat and blood to me. Don't worry, I will pay you."
"That won't work either! My pig and I are like father and son, how can I use its sacrifice in exchange for some money!" Yiniao still refused.
At this time, more and more people gathered around, and they were all surprised that Yiniao could refuse the conditions offered by Yuehai.
"Is this pig really an ancient beast as the old man said? I don't see anything special about this pig at all?"
"Yeah, I didn't see it either, but since Elder Yuehai didn't say anything or refuted what the old man said, then it should be the case. After all, Elder Yuehai has read so many books and studied so much in this area. After many years, I believe that he is right.”
…………
At this moment, Yue Hai's heart was filled with thoughts. He could tell at a glance that the pig was extraordinary, because it was a pig he had never seen before.
When it comes to identifying living creatures, he has read thousands of classics and knows all this knowledge by heart. Logically speaking, there are no ordinary creatures that he does not know. If the entire Fulong City is compared to a book, then Yue Hai has already memorized this book by heart.
Almost every time the big families in Fulong City received unknown medicinal herbs from nowhere, they would come to Yuehai to ask, and they would get an accurate answer from him every time.
And he has always been very interested in these unknown herbs or beasts. When walking around Fulong City on weekdays, whenever I see something strange, I always try to figure out its origin.
While Yi Niao and Yue Hai were entangled, a group of figures emerged from Fulong City.
"People from the Gu family are here!"
"Look, look, it's someone from the Gu family who is here to pick up the eldest lady of the Gu family!"
"That's Gu Shi, the precious son of the second elder of the Gu family! Tsk, tsk, tsk, I heard that he seems to have been pursuing this ancient dream!"
"Yes, yes, I also heard that the second elder of the ancient town has always been interested in bringing Gu Meng and Gu Shi together, and even proposed that as long as the two get married, he will turn around and support Gu Yu. You know, the biggest opposition in the Gu family The voice belongs to the leader of this ancient town. As long as the ancient town nods, then the position of ancient jade will be safe and secure!"
The crowd parted a road, and a young man dressed in luxurious silk came over leading a group of servants.
"Miss Gu Meng, I'm here to pick you up." The young man said with a smile on his face.
Unexpectedly, Gu Meng just said coldly, "I know the way home, I don't need you to pick me up!"
After saying that, Gu Meng walked straight into the city, while Gu Feng glared at the young man and then led Meng and others into the city.
After the soldiers guarding the city hesitated for a moment, they still did not stop them for inspection and allowed them to enter the city without hesitation.
The Gu family's reputation is so great. Sometimes, in Fulong City, the big families can do things that the government can't do, and the big families can take care of things that the government can't do!
…………
The young man stood there and glanced at Gu Meng who was walking away, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
He is the son of Guzhen, the second elder of the Gu family, Gu Shi.
Erchang Ancient Town is a roundabout place.
The rotten and stubborn old man can be said to be the person in the clan who dislikes the family leader Gu Yu the most.
He is also a fifth-grade alchemist. He has been immersed in the fifth-grade alchemy level for more than ten years. He has rich experience in alchemy and has a high prestige in the Gu family, almost as much as the great elder Gu Feng.
When Gu Yu had been concentrating on studying the refining process of the seventh-grade elixir left by the ancient master, and tried to refine it many times, he was the first to take the lead in opposing it.
It's all because he thinks that Gu Yu is aiming too high and trying to reach the sky in one step. This kind of behavior is really undesirable.
This opposition immediately won the support of most people in the clan, which also led to the current situation in the clan.
However, although Gu Zhen is pedantic and stubborn, he dotes on his son Gu Shi. He once suggested that if Gu Meng agrees to marry Gu Shi, he can also give Gu Yu a little more time and opportunity to try his unrealistic alchemy - so that The fifth-grade grade refines the seventh-grade elixir!
However, Gu Meng has always refused to agree and declined in every possible way.
…………
The group of people entered the city, and Gu Meng's originally cold expression softened a little.
"I haven't asked my benefactors yet what they need to do when they come to Fulong City. Our Gu family has some status in Fulong City. You might as well tell me and see if I can be of any help?" Gu Meng asked with a smile.
Liao Meng glanced at Jiang Zhiyuan, and the two exchanged glances. Liao Meng then smiled and said, "We just came to Fulong City to take a look and walk around. There is nothing to do."
At this time, Gu Feng approached Gu Meng with narrowed eyes and whispered something. Gu Meng's face changed. Just when he was about to say something, Gu Feng walked up to Meng again and said, "Since everyone We all still have things to do, so we won’t bother you any more.”
With that said, Gu Feng took out another token from his pocket and handed it to Meng.
There is a large ancient character carved on the token, with the word "elder" written on the back, and a small character "wind" written on the lower right corner of the token.
"This is a little bit of our Gu family's wishes. I hope that all the benefactors can accept it. In this Fulong City, if you encounter any difficulties, you may be able to use it. If it doesn't work, just take this order. If Pai comes to our Gu family, we will do our best to help him!" Gu Feng said solemnly.
Liao Meng smiled and took the token. He also saw that this token should be Gufeng's personal property. Maybe he gave it to them out of gratitude and wanted to repay something, or maybe there was something else. What purpose.
But no matter what, it doesn't hurt them to accept this kindness.
After chatting with them for a while, Ling Meng said goodbye to them and walked towards the city. As for Gu Meng and Gu Feng, they walked in another direction in the city.
On top of the city, a man in a red gown was lying on a chair surrounded by a group of soldiers, drinking and having fun.
"Haha! Glow-in-the-dark cup of grape wine. If you want to drink the pipa, I will urge you immediately. Jun Moxiao, lying drunk on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times! Good poem, good poem! There is just no good wine to go with it!" The man in red shirt took a sip of wine. , while sighing with emotion, "Oh, if you can let me drink a few sips of wine, I can also write a few good poems!"
The man lay on a chair and looked up at the sky. A soldier took the wine glass from his hand and poured him another full glass.
After a while, the man closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep, snoring loudly.
"It's going to change today! I'm lying drunk on the battlefield...don't laugh!"
