Guchen is dead.
It was already the second year when I discovered it.
The first thing they saw was the law enforcement team. When they came to collect the spirit stones, they found out that Gu Chen died silently in the cave.
This kind of thing is very common in Fang City. The cave is private property, and non-close friends will not break in rashly.
Zhou Yi was performing the Lingyu Jue when Senior Brother Zhang from the law enforcement team came over.
"Brother Zhu, Gu Chen left you a letter before he died."
Senior Brother Zhang is an acquaintance. We have had drinks together at Fengming Tower several times and he has a quite cheerful temperament.
The law enforcement team is a violent organization under the jurisdiction of Fang City. It is composed of a hundred middle and late Qi Refining monks. The leader is an official disciple of the Alchemy Sect, and the actual people in charge are a few registered disciples.
Joining the law enforcement team will earn you a spiritual stone salary every month, which is comparable to Zhou Yi's annual cultivation of spiritual fields. However, he is responsible for maintaining the stability of the city and must fight against evil spirits and heretics. He often hears of people dying and disappearing.
"Senior Brother Zhang, thank you for your hard work."
Zhou Yi did not shy away and opened the envelope directly.
Gu Chen didn't say any secrets in his letter. One of them was that he detailed the disaster at home, which was somewhat different from what Zhou Yi thought.
The person who murdered Gu Chen's family was not an evil cultivator, but his best friend.
A good friend's family also has an heir with spiritual roots. He originally planned to become a disciple of Gu Chen and inherit Gu Chen's cave in the future. However, a few years ago, the Gu family also had an heir with spiritual roots.
The friend became jealous and turned into an evil cultivator to kill the Gu family members and kidnapped Gu Chen's grandson to extort spiritual stones.
Unexpectedly, the usually honest and honest farmer actually killed the evil cultivator during the fight, and he himself was seriously injured and died soon after.
"People who farm are not bloodless!"
Zhou Yi continued to look down. Before returning to Xiaodan Mountain in Guchen, he also killed his friend's family.
At the end of the letter, Gu Chen confessed his identity. His original surname was Liu, and he was from Dayongling Prefecture. He hoped that fellow Taoist "Zhu" would meet a monk named Liu from Lingzhou in the future and take care of him.
The evil cultivator killed Gu Chen's family, and many Liu family members from the side branch were still alive. Gu Chen passed on the skills to his clan members.
As a reward, Gu Chen's spiritual stone was given to Zhou Yi before his death.
At the end of the letter, Gu Chen repeatedly warned that in the world of immortality, no one can be trusted, cannot be trusted, or dare not believe it. Even Taoist friends who have been together for decades must have reservations!
"Well, I don't believe anyone!"
Zhou Yi sighed in his heart and handed the letter to Senior Brother Zhang: "Brother, does the will in this letter count?"
Senior Brother Zhang said: "Ordinary people don't count, so our relationship is naturally appropriate."
Zhou Yi cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, Senior Brother Zhang. I'm going to have a drink at Fengming Tower in a few days. I heard that a new Kun Taoist has arrived and is proficient in the Dianluan Kung Fu. Rumor has it that it will help break through the bottleneck of practice..."
"Let's go together."
Senior Brother Zhang agreed repeatedly, and was surprised by Zhou Yi's generosity.
Monks generally pay close attention to spiritual stones. A female cultivator with a special skill like this would spend at least twenty or thirty spiritual stones.
Zhou Yi said: "One more thing. The ancient Taoist friend entrusted me to bury his body in this spiritual field before his death. It can be regarded as ashes returning to dust and returning to earth."
Single-family monks like Gu Chen usually bury them in the medicine field in the central area. Some special elixirs will swallow the bones and blood with spiritual energy and accelerate their growth.
Senior Brother Zhang immediately agreed: "It's a small matter."
It is difficult to say that the connections Zhou Yi has managed over the years will be useful when it comes to big things, but little things will not get stuck in his neck or make him wear small shoes.
Without Senior Brother Zhang as a guarantee, how many of Gu Chen's relics would be left, or even whether they could be left, and whether Zhou Yi would be falsely accused of having murderous motives? Everything is possible.
same day.
In ancient times, the corpses were buried in the spiritual field without setting up tombstones. The vacant cave was returned to Fangshi, waiting for the next owner.
There are no neighbors in Zhouyi, and there is no one to chat with in the fields.
Every day he devoted himself to cultivation, took care of the medicine fields and spiritual fields, and occasionally invited colleagues to have a drink at Fengming Tower.
In the sixth year, Zhou Yi collected a few more buckets of spiritual rice, and finally experienced the taste of dual cultivation for the first time.
The twists and turns are so wonderful that they can't be compared to ordinary women!
"We are here to break through the bottleneck of cultivation!"
Seventh year.
When Zhou Yi was visiting the trading area, he unexpectedly encountered commonplaces.
The founding emperor of Daqian, Li Wu, and his queen, Chen Jinyu, walked together and came out of the Danding Pavilion. They discussed in low voices how to take the elixir and how to mix it for a better effect.
The appearance of comparing every penny with money shows no sign of the majesty of an emperor or empress.
Zhou Yi watched from a distance with his hands folded in his hands until they could no longer be seen, then turned and walked towards Fengming Tower.
"I met my old friend today. We are all well. It's time to celebrate!"
Time flies, and I have been practicing in Xiaodan Mountain for fourteen years.
The Zhouyi time travel happened to be two months old, so it was time to celebrate, so I went to Fengming Tower to practice double cultivation.
Another six years passed.
Zhou Yi finally broke through the fourth level of Qi Refining, so it was time to celebrate. It happened that a new female Taoist priest came to Fengming Tower.
Talking about mysteries and Taoism is very enjoyable.
…
This day.
Zhou Yi wandered around the trading area as usual and noticed changes in the prices of protective talismans and seals, such as diamond talismans, pure heart talismans, etc., which skyrocketed by 30 to 40%.
"Something must have happened!"
"First understand the reality and reality, and then see if you need to escape to the East China Sea."
Zhou Yi has learned three spells over the years, water element escape, golden light spell to protect the body, and cloud smoke spell to cover his sight and breath.
It may not be possible in terms of fighting skills, but when it comes to saving lives, few at the same level can compare!
Fengming Tower.
Zhou Yi found a table by the window, ordered a few delicacies, and listened to others talking and talking.
After a while, you probably knew what happened.
Yesterday, thieves appeared in the market. After using strange incense to stun people, they looted the spiritual stones and spiritual objects of more than a dozen monks.
One of them was an unlucky guy who was just in time to pay off the cave's debts, so he had no choice but to go mining in Qi Yunfeng.
Mining is different from farming. The latter is cumbersome but safe, but the former can really kill people.
Spirit mines are companions of spiritual veins. The depths of the veins are very close to the core of the spiritual veins. The gold, jade, iron and other minerals buried underground are nourished by the rich spiritual energy and turn into spirits over time.
The spirit was born in the period of refining its energy, and it also had the innate ability to escape from the earth. The monk bumped into it in the mine and accidentally died on the spot.
It is said that when the Xiaodan Mountain Purple Spirit Mine was first discovered, there was a Jindan-stage spirit occupying it. Its body was a piece of Purple Spirit Copper. It had amazing defensive power and had a home field advantage. It took several True Lords from the Alchemy Cauldron Sect to kill it.
The True Lord cleared away the spirits in the Foundation Establishment Realm. The remaining Spirits in the Qi Refining Stage were too many and too scattered, so he handed them over to the successive stationed True Lords to slowly clean them up.
Now hundreds of years have passed, there are very few monsters in the mines, but there is still a certain danger to life.
However, there are also benefits to mining. Since the mine is very close to the spiritual veins, it is filled with extremely pure spiritual energy, which can be used to practice while mining.
The monks in the late stage of Qi refining in Xiaodanshanfang City need a large amount of spiritual stones to buy foundation-building pills, and at the same time, they are not afraid of encountering spirits due to their own strength, so they mine in Qiyun Peak all year round.
"The thief obtained a large amount of spiritual stones and must have escaped from the city. The law enforcement team can hardly find any trace!"
Zhou Yi was relieved in his heart. As long as it was not a large-scale war, the thieves who stole the spirit stones did not kill anyone, so the city was still safe.
Moreover, Zhou Yi has also been waiting for this day for these years, and unsafe factors have appeared in Fangshi Cave Mansion.
"After more than ten years of waiting for the right conditions, I finally have the opportunity to make a fortune. I still need to plan a lot..."
