Gu Shuo and Shi Qingqing walked side by side along the street. Gu Shuo observed the people walking around and found that these people were dressed in different grades, but the styles were similar, the fabrics were different, and the embroidery was exquisite.
People are clothes and horses are saddles.
It is obvious that those who are well-dressed will be respected by pedestrians even when walking on the street. I remembered the way the city gate guards looked at me just now. It seemed that I needed to buy some clothes. If I wanted to understand this world and find a way to leave here, I had to get in touch with the upper class people.
He whispered his plan to Shi Qingqing, and Shi Qingqing nodded in agreement, but said with some worry:
"Do you have that much gold and silver?"
"Buying clothes should be enough. Let's make plans for the future. Don't worry, I'm here!"
"Okay!" Shi Qing smiled brightly. Everyone likes good-looking clothes, especially women.
Half an hour later, the two people left a clothing store, still wearing their original clothes, but they both had an extra baggage on them. Shi Qingqing smiled, but Gu Shuo's face was full of pain.
The two of them bought two sets of ready-made clothes each from inside to outside, but spent most of Gu Shuo's gold and silver.
"Brother Gu, what are we doing now?" Shi Qingqing jumped around Gu Shuo.
"Go to the inn first, wash up, change clothes, and then we'll go eat."
"Okay!"
An hour later, it was close to noon.
Gu Shuo and Shi Qingqing were walking on the street. They were dressed gorgeously and carried long swords on their backs, which made people dare not look down upon them.
"This is it."
Gu Shuo saw a three-story restaurant and walked in. When a waiter saw two people, his eyes lit up and he walked towards them:
"Sir, miss, would you like a private room?"
Gu Shuo glanced at the lobby. It was very spacious and had more than twenty tables. At this time, there were already more than a dozen tables seated, and he said:
“Just in the lobby!”
"Your Majesty, please come this way!"
The waiter didn't feel disappointed at all, and still enthusiastically led Gu Shuo and Shi Qingqing to a table. Gu Shuo and Shi Qingqing sat opposite each other, and the waiter quickly wiped the already very clean table with a rag. Then the menu was handed over.
Gu Shuo quickly scanned it and felt relieved.
Well, I can afford it!
I ordered four signature dishes and a bottle of wine. Two bowls of rice.
The food and wine were served quickly, and the two of them ate while listening to the conversations in the lobby.
Most of the topics are related to the monks who fell from the void space, because this city is the closest there, and these days, a steady stream of monks have fallen, been caught, and transported here.
From their conversation, they learned that this city was also a transit station, and then the monks would be sent to mine.
From their conversations, we roughly understood some of the framework of this space.
There is no sect in this space, but there is a country.
The human race established a country here, called Jingguo.
If there is a country, there will naturally be an army. The main purpose of the army is to fight against the demon clan, and at the same time to exterminate the green forest bandits everywhere.
There are two main sources of green forest bandits in Jingguo.
One is that the fallen monk escaped after being caught. Just like Gu Shuo, these people gathered into large and small forces. It is not allowed for Jingguo.
The other was a person from Jingguo who rebelled against the imperial court for various reasons.
The capital of Jingguo is called Jingdu. In this space, there are five big cities. The nearest big city is called Hucheng.
Gu Shuo feels that if you want to know more about this space, you still need to go to a big city, preferably to Jingdu. However, on the way to Jingdu, you will pass through Hucheng. I decided in my heart to go to Lake City.
The two people left the restaurant and walked on the street.
Shi Qingqing whispered: "Brother Gu, I think we still want to go to Jingdu."
"Yes!" Gu Shuo nodded and said, "We are passing through Hucheng. We will live in Hucheng for a while and get more information."
"But...silver..."
"I'll take care of it."
"How to deal with it?"
“Let’s take a walk first!”
Gu Shuo walked on the street, then opened his Zongmu, and soon he locked onto two houses. Because he saw the thickest gold and silver light in those two houses.
Gu Shuo went to see it.
One of them is the city lord's palace, and the other one is definitely the most powerful of this city just by looking at the area. It is estimated that this city is in the hands of these two families.
The city lord's palace and the powerful!
Gu Shuo touched his chin. I wonder if there is a body tempering technique that can directly lead to the transformation of gods?
correct!
There is also a body tempering pill!
Gu Shuo went to a store that sold pills, but he couldn't afford them, especially the body-tempering pills he needed for the out-of-body period, which were too expensive!
But there should be some in the city lord's mansion and that powerful family.
I wonder what the cultivation levels of this city lord and that powerful family head are?
Can you beat it yourself?
Ask around.
Gu Shuo took Shi Qingqing to a teahouse, ordered tea, then took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the table, and said to the waiter:
"I travel around and challenge masters from all over the world. I wonder who is the strongest in this city?"
"I know this!" The guy stretched out his hand and put away the broken piece of silver: "There are two great masters in our city, one is the city lord Lan Zheng, and the other is the head of the Wu family, Wu Shanyue. These two are both Late stage of out-of-body experience. It is said that it is almost complete."
Gu Shuo nodded, knowing that Wu Shanyue was that powerful family, because he saw the word "Wu Mansion" written on the plaque hanging on the door of the mansion.
I sent the waiter away, drank tea, then left the teahouse and returned to the inn.
midnight!
Gu Shuo opened the window, jumped out, and quietly left the inn.
What did you do?
Check it out!
Before dawn, Gu Shuo came back.
Having a more detailed understanding of the City Lord's Mansion and the Wu Family, he just stepped in and did not alarm the people in the two mansions. I returned to the inn and lay on the bed, thinking about my plan.
It was getting brighter and Gu Shuo fell asleep.
I slept until noon, got up, washed myself, and then went to the next door to knock on the door. The door opened quickly, Shi Qingqing pouted and said:
"Brother Gu, you can sleep well."
Gu Shuo didn't explain either: "Let's go and eat, and then we'll leave."
Shi Qing was stunned for a moment, and then felt that he should leave. This city is still a bit small, so we’d better go to Lake City quickly.
After lunch, the two people left. I didn’t buy the dragon horse because I didn’t have enough money.
Five miles away from the city on foot, when there was no one around, Gu Shuo took Shi Qingqing into the woods beside the road.
"Brother Gu, what are we going to do?" Seeing Gu Shuo stop, Shi Qingqing asked.
"Wait here until dark, and then you stay here while I go back and take a look at the treasure house in the city lord's palace."
Shi Qingqing's eyes suddenly lit up: "I'll go too."
Gu Shuo thought for a while: "Okay, but you have to listen to me."
Shi Qingqing raised her white palms: "I will be obedient."
"Well, this time we are mainly going to get some gold, silver and body tempering pills, and then see if we can find a higher level body tempering technique."
Shi Qingqing nodded with bright eyes: "Yeah, I've never done anything like this before, great!"
Gu Shuo couldn't help but be a little worried. Is this girl going to do anything bad?
He hurriedly and seriously warned: "Qingqing, you have to remember. We have to go secretly and leave secretly. We can't alert them. The city lord Lan Zheng and Wu Shanyue of the Wu family have both completed their out-of-body experience. Now we can only rely on our own body strength. , once discovered by them, they are no match for them. And there are so many of them, if they are discovered, they are likely to die."
"I understand, I obey!"
Gu Shuo na na said: "I hope you understand and be obedient."
midnight.
Gu Shuo and Shi Qingqing wore night clothes and climbed over the city wall. Instead of going to the city lord's mansion, they went straight to a blacksmith shop.
"Brother Gu, what are we doing here?" Shi Qingqing asked in a low voice.
"Get some throwing knives."
After a group of patrols passed by, the two people sneaked to the gate. Gu Shuo opened his eyes and looked inside, but there was no one inside. This is a store-front-residence structure. The blacksmith and his apprentice lived in the backyard. There was no one in the front store.
Gu Shuo whispered: "Go to the roof and give me a break."
"good!"
Shi Qingqing jumped up and landed gently on the ridge of the roof, looking around.
The reason why Gu Shuo asked Shi Qingqing to watch the wind was indeed to watch the wind. The other purpose was not to let her find out that she could use the vertical energy thread. If she saw that she could open the door bolt inside the door, Shi Qingqing would Must be suspicious.
Gu Shuo opened his Zong Eye, and a trace of Zong Eye energy emerged from the Zong Eye. It penetrated through the crack in the door and wrapped around the door bolt inside. After opening the door bolt, Gu Shuo gently pushed the door open. He ducked in and went straight to the shelves. There were various weapons on the shelves, including a set of throwing knives, with a total of thirty-six handles, like willow leaves. Gu Shuo put away the throwing knife, stepped out, closed the door, and locked it with his eyes, then said hello to Shi Qingqing, and the two left silently.
On the empty street, the two people quickly approached the City Lord's Mansion with the help of shadows, then found a deserted place, climbed over the wall, and sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion. Gu Shuo had already passed the point and went straight to the treasure house of the city lord's palace.
There is not a tree around the treasure house, a big stone house.
Very sturdy.
This space is the same as the mortal world, without Taoist or magical powers. The big stone house has a door with a big lock. There are eight guards in front of the door.
"Brother Gu, we have to kill eight people at the same time without making any noise. It's very difficult!" Shi Qingqing put his mouth close to Gu Shuo's ear and lowered his voice.
"I know!" Gu Shuo felt his ears were a little itchy. He pulled away slightly and lowered his voice: "I will kill them in a while. The two of us have to rush over as fast as possible without making any big noise. , don’t let them fall directly to the ground and make a fuss.”
"You have a way to kill them both at the same time?"
"have!"
Gu Shuo took out eight willow-leaf-like flying knives and held them in his right hand. Waiting silently.
About two-quarters of an hour later, a team of mobile sentries walked to the treasure house, greeted the eight guards, and then continued to patrol away.
Gu Shuo waited for another half-quarter of an hour, and then gently touched Shi Qingqing with his shoulder. Shi Qingqing nodded to show that he understood and made preparations to rush out.
"laugh……"
Gu Shuo raised his hand, and eight willow-leaf flying knives flashed past in the night. At the same time, Gu Shuo and Shi Qingqing had already rushed out.
"hehe……"
The eight guards had flying knives stuck in their throats and could only make a low hehe sound. The body began to fall toward the ground. Gu Shuo and Shi Qingqing had already arrived in front of the treasure house and quickly caught the fallen guards one by one and placed them on the ground. The last guard was almost too late to catch it. Fortunately everything is perfect.
"Wangfeng!" Gu Shuo whispered.
Shi Qingqing jumped onto the roof and looked around seriously.
Gu Shuo opened his eyes and looked through the door, but there was no one inside. Then he looked at the big lock on the door with his longitudinal eyes, saw through the internal structure of the big lock, and then used the energy of his longitudinal eyes to penetrate into the keyhole.
Click...
The big lock was opened. Gu Shuo took off the big lock, pushed open the door, stepped in, glanced around, and stood in front of the shelf where the body tempering pills were placed.
The highest level is the body-tempering pill that leaves the body. Think about it. The city lord is just a body-tempering pill. How can there be a higher-level body-tempering pill?
With a wave of his hand, Gu Shuo put away all the out-of-body and Nascent Soul Tempering Pills, then went straight to a bookshelf where the exercises were placed, and quickly browsed through them. Finally, with a trace of disappointment in his eyes, he reached out and took down a This secret book is a body-tempering secret book that can be practiced to the perfection of leaving the body. There is no body-tempering technique for the divine transformation stage. But the level is higher than what he got by touching the corpse before. Then he saw the elixir recipe, which was only capable of refining the Body Tempering Elixir for the Out-of-body Stage. He put it away, and then came to a pile of boxes. When he opened it, he saw that it was full of gold.
Needless to say, these boxes contain either gold or silver. I didn’t read it either. Put all these boxes in. Then he walked out of the door immediately, and the remaining things were of little use to him.
Move the eight corpses into the treasure house, then close the door and lock it.
As a result, it would have been later for the treasure house to be discovered that it had been stolen.
Gu Shuo waved to Shi Qingqing, and the two of them quietly left the city lord's palace with the help of shadows and went straight to the powerful mansion. Less than half an hour later, the two people quietly left the Wu Mansion, sneaked towards the city wall, climbed down at an uninhabited wall, and then ran towards the lake city.
Along the way, Shi Qingqing was very happy. She found it very exciting and had never done anything so fun in her life.
Seeing her cheerful look, Gu Shuo curled his lips and just looked away without doing anything. Was he that happy?
never mind!
Just let her be happy!
Dawn.
The two people had washed up, put on gorgeous clothes, and were walking side by side in the wilderness, like two rich young men and young ladies on an outing.
One day passed, and no pursuers from the city lord's palace came. They were probably sealing off the city and searching house to house.
At this time, Gu Shuo and Shi Qingqing were practicing.
A bonfire illuminated the surrounding ancient trees, and the two people performed the same movements again. Each movement had unusual stretching, extremely difficult angles, and sometimes even twists like twists.
