In fact, this group of casual cultivators just couldn't escape a few points. They didn't have much money, so they could only live by taking advantage of it.
Now that the Gu family, the richest man in the world, is supporting him, if this belongs to the queen of Gu Xiaotian, then it will be considered a direct relationship. Can the monthly offerings be missing?
Coupled with the fact that Qu Xiaohan, a giant Buddha, can help from behind, the danger will be reduced a lot.
This is the life they want as casual cultivators.
Then I would go to bed every morning, practice Qigong at noon, and drink and brag every night. I would be carefree and happy.
Maybe if their hands are itchy, they might even get into a fight, stimulating their inner beast.
This life is what many casual cultivators dream of.
On the way back to the inn, Wu Sangui asked: "When did you, this guy, crush people's hearts so much?"
Gu Xiaotian was a little confused by this question. He seemed to have never done anything before. He just walked a little and saw more things, so he naturally blurted out those words, and finally said proudly: " born with!"
Wu Sangui sighed and cursed shamelessly.
Wu Sangui was in a good mood today. He dug out all the good wine that Wu Erxi had collected for a long time in the inn and started drinking it.
Looking at the jade bamboo stick next to Wu Sangui, Wu Erxi felt a little relieved on his face.
Seeing this scene, Gu Xiaotian felt warm in his heart. No wonder Wu Erxi would tip off Li Huaimin every time. He was also optimistic about his brother's ability to take over as the leader of the Beggar Clan, but he just didn't say anything about it.
Wu Sangui drank so well that Gu Xiaotian and others were so drunk that they couldn't drink enough. After scolding him a few times, he had to drag Wu Erxi to drink.
Wu Sangui was left drinking alone downstairs, while Gu Xiaotian and others went upstairs.
In the room upstairs.
Duan Peng asked: "Have you thought of the next method?"
Gu Xiaotian gave a bitter smile, shook his head and said: "I lied to him. Anyway, let him persuade me first. Anyway, it will be solved after finding the great elder. You should also help me think about it. I am alone." My mind can’t think of so many things.”
Duan Peng actually had already thought of a solution, but he never said it.
It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but that he wants to see what Gu Xiaotian does. If Gu Xiaotian has an idea, whether it's right or wrong, Duan Peng will look at the subsequent changes. If he really reaches a dead end, Duan Peng will I will also find ways to remedy it.
Of course, if Gu Xiaotian asked, he would naturally help.
After all, the smartest person here is Duan Peng.
This guy has a pair of eyes that can see through the essence of things at a glance.
Duan Peng said slowly: "The conflicts between the casual cultivators are actually not serious. If they were really serious, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to coexist in Jing Lake."
Gu Xiaotian also nodded in agreement: "Yes, but why do you have to focus on one contradiction and struggle to survive?"
Duan Peng pointed at his face, "It's very simple, it's a matter of face."
"So? What do you think?"
"After all the casual cultivators have gathered, we just need to let those who have conflicts come out to compete with each other. If they lose or win, they won't take it seriously. If they lose, they are inferior to others, and if they win, they won't take it seriously. Earning enough face is the most common thing for these casual cultivators, but usually no one witnesses it, so they keep it in their hearts, but it is different now. If you come forward to witness it, you will have a platform. As long as the subsequent events don't get too serious and the situation is stabilized, it won't be a problem."
Gu Xiaotian acquiesced to this method. At present, the method Duan Peng mentioned seems to be the most direct and effective.
But whether it is the best or not, Gu Xiaotian still has to think about it himself.
Putting this matter aside for the time being, Gu Xiaotian thought about the matter of the great elder alone.
The Great Elder said that he had entered Jing Lake and Houhu for retreat, and he was afraid that if he came to visit rashly, he might not be able to see him.
You know, warriors attach great importance to seclusion.
Ordinary people retreat, just feel
All things in the world, let yourself relax wholeheartedly, and at the same time comprehend some martial arts attainments or rules of the world in a short period of time, which will be of great help to improve your strength.
But for a person of the Great Elder's level to retreat, it would not be so simple.
People in their realm usually don't retreat easily.
Because for them, the perception of heaven and earth does not require a lot of effort to go into retreat. They have already sensed it many years ago. Perceiving is a useless effort and a waste of time.
What they are pursuing now is to perceive Tianmen and become immortals!
This takes a long time to sense slowly, but if you catch some clues, you will immediately enter the door to retreat.
As for this time, it’s really hard to say.
Maybe it only took a short hour, and the clues stopped there. The opportunity was in front of me, but I didn't seize it.
But I don’t know how long it will take. During this time, I can’t be disturbed.
After Wu Erxi helped Wu Sangui upstairs, Gu Xiaotian stopped Wu Erxi who was about to leave and asked, "Wu Erxi, has the Great Elder ever been in retreat on weekdays?"
Wu Erxi recalled carefully: "I don't have the impression, but the First Elder is different from the Second Elder and the Third Elder. One is dedicated to assisting Sangui, and the other is dedicated to cultivating his own power and wanting to take over the real power of the Beggar Clan one day. On the contrary, the Great Elder The elder is actually the most imperceptible, as it seems that his target is not in the beggar gang."
Gu Xiaotian nodded, waved his hand and let Wu Erxi leave.
Sitting on the chair, Gu Xiaotian dragged his chin, unable to figure out the twists and turns.
The Great Elder's goal is not to be in the Beggar Clan, but in heaven. But how could someone who wholeheartedly want to become an immortal not retreat in seclusion before?
Is it really such a coincidence that the Great Elder only retreats once in his life, which happens to be the day before Wu Sangui returns to Jinghu?
Gu Xiaotian didn't believe that there were so many coincidences. It seemed strange that so many coincidences were connected together.
Duan Peng revealed the mystery, "Maybe the retreat is just a cover."
This idea somewhat coincides with Gu Xiaotian.
But if you use seclusion as a cover to lock yourself in the back lake of Jing Lake, what is the purpose of this?
Wu Sangui drank a bowl of sobriety tea, his head became slightly clearer, and he reminded: "Not only is the back lake of Jinghu Lake no one cares about, but it is also a forbidden area."
Gu Xiaotian was surprised and said: "Does your Beggar Clan still have a forbidden area?"
Wu Sangui clicked his tongue, "What's so strange about having a forbidden area? It happened many years ago. When I was a child, I was not sensible and went to play in the back lake. As a result, the great elder found out. He took me back and gave me a good punishment and a warning. You are not allowed to go."
Gu Xiaotian groped his chin, and things started to get interesting.
The great elder must have hidden something in Houhu.
Moreover, it happened to be the time when Wu Sangui returned to Jinghu.
Gu Xiaotian took off his shoes and went to bed, leaning on the pillow, "Go to Houhu tomorrow!"
...
Today, Gu Xiaotian deliberately slept a little longer.
His instinct told him that something big might happen today, so it was absolutely right to keep his spirits up. .z.br>
Under the leadership of Wu Sangui, everyone walked to the outskirts of Jinghu Back Lake.
There is a mud pond in the middle of the back lake, which is unattended.
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Is there any mystery in this mud pond?"
After all, there is no mystery in such a muddy pond just by looking at it.
But this is just something on the surface. It is even weirder that the Great Elder did not send anyone to guard it. If it is really just an ordinary mud pond and can be passed casually, wouldn't that be too serious?
Wu Sangui didn't recognize this mud pond either. Although he had indeed been here when he was a child, he really had no impression of this mud pond. He just said silently: "Anyway, be careful. The Great Elder always has a plan."
Not preparing to cross the mud pond easily, Gu Xiaotian first wandered around the periphery of the mud pond for a few times.
, and then gently stretched out his feet a little bit, stepped into the mud puddle, and did not feel any pressure from the true energy.
After wandering for a long time, Gu Xiaotian took a deep breath and said, "Cross the mud pond."
Qu Xiaohan walked at the end of the team and picked up Yao Yao. Even she hadn't seen through the mystery of this mud pond yet.
Gu Xiaotian and Wu Sangui walked at the front. They walked cautiously at first. They didn't dare to step down heavily even when they raised their feet. They only dared to tap the mud pit with their toes to make sure there was no problem before taking the next step.
It's like a tortoise walking.
This made Yao Yao, who was being carried by Qu Xiaohan, laugh.
When the team as a whole marched to the middle of the mud pond, Gu Xiaotian began to notice something strange.
It seemed that his body was half shorter.
But when I walked down, I didn't feel anything at all. I just noticed something was wrong when I lowered my head.
Gu Xiaotian thought to himself: "Is it just a pit?"
Not long after, Yao Yao, who had been laughing at others, suddenly became quiet, and big beads of sweat rolled out of his head. His expression was painful, as if he had encountered some resistance.
Qu Xiaohan carried Yao Yao and was the first to notice something was wrong with her and asked a few questions about what was wrong.
Yao Yao shook his head, but his lips were already white.
Qu Xiaohan suddenly realized that there was no outsider exerting pressure on Qi in this muddy pond.
But this mud pond itself has its own innate energy!
After all, Yao Yao is the lowest level here, so when he reaches the middle, he naturally can't bear too much, just like a wooden barrel can only hold so much water, any more will overflow.
Qu Xiaohan reminded: "This muddy pond has its own true energy. The further you go, the more true energy you have. You continue to cross the muddy pond. I will go back and find a way to take Yao Yao to fly over."
After the reminder, Qu Xiaohan turned around and walked back.
With Qu Xiaohan's reminder, Gu Xiaotian looked at the mud ponds around him.
This muddy pond is neither big nor small. The key is that there is still a long way to go, and it all takes time. If we continue to go forward, I may really be unable to resist it.
No wonder the great elder was not on guard. It turned out that he was already confident.
If you want to get through this quagmire, it will be useless without hard strength and amazing physique.
If you really have to fight through the mud, you might even lose your life.
Gu Xiaotian adjusted his breathing energy and circulated it in his body, and continued to walk forward. As he walked forward, his feet became heavier and heavier, and his body slowly sank along with them.
Wu Sangui held the jade bamboo stick and forced himself out, still gritting his teeth and holding on.
The further they walked, the slower their pace became. They needed to take a breath before they could take the next step.
The true energy of the entire mud pond seems to have been specially concentrated in one area, and then spread out in order from small to large. Every time you take another step forward, you have to bear one more point of true energy.
How to break the situation has become the key to the problem.
