Gu Shuo quickly rented a courtyard. It was a large courtyard with thirty-two rooms, which was enough for nineteen of them to live. The rent is very expensive, but not to mention Gu Shuo, even to the Dahuang team who returned home with a full load, it is not a big deal. Gu Shuo leased it for one year and paid the rent for the entire year. The owner left happily.
Gu Shuo has no intention of hiring anyone. The one with the lowest cultivation level here is Nie Xiaolou in the late Jindan stage, and he doesn’t even need to eat. As for hygiene, just cast a spell and it will be solved. Gu Shuo stood in the yard and said: "Everyone will choose a room, and then sort out what he has harvested. Keep what you can use, and sort out what you can't use. Let's go to Tianmeng to redeem it tomorrow. resource."
"good!"
Everyone responded and went to choose their rooms. Gu Shuo also picked a room and began to organize his things. In fact, for him, only the remaining blue sea crystals gained from this expedition are of use to him, and the rest are of no use. He divided Lan Haijing into eighteen parts and prepared to distribute them to the members of the Dahuang team. There is no plan to give it to Nie Xiaolou. Then prepare to exchange all the gains from the expedition into water and fire spiritual stones. Although he no longer needs the water and fire spirit stones for his cultivation, there is nothing wrong with preparing more.
The next day.
Everyone came to Tianmeng together and began to exchange various resources. Gu Shuo suggested that they all exchange them for spiritual stones. Zhongqinghua's eleven Nascent Souls are perfect. Once he breaks through the body, if he has enough spiritual stones, especially spiritual stones with attributes suitable for him, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to him. The same is true for Mo Ran Deng's three pregnant babies. And Bei Xueling's three transformation liquids need spiritual stones even more. Therefore, everyone in the Great Wilderness team exchanged their harvests for spiritual stones, and they were spiritual stones with attributes suitable for them. Nie Xiaolou exchanged some other resources.
Sure enough, their harvest was not among the top ten. Their team was too small and they spent half a year training in the Blue Wave. Naturally, their harvest was not as good as other teams. But no one cared. No matter how much others have gained, can they achieve as much as they have in the Blue Ocean Tide?
After leaving Tianmeng's station in Canglang City, Beixueling and Yun Sixia took Nie Xiaolou to go shopping. Like Hua Jieyu, Vowel Yin is also a girl, but they have now reached perfection and want to go back to retreat.
Everyone returned to the rented courtyard. Gu Shuo did not let them go back to their rooms, but summoned them all to the large living room. Then distribute the blue sea crystals that have been divided to everyone. They were told not to tell anyone about this, let alone exchange it. Nie Xiaolou cannot be allowed to know either.
Everyone nodded in understanding. They knew that this matter was very important. Once others knew that they had blue sea crystals in their hands, they would think that they had found the spiritual vein, which was a trouble.
Gu Shuo then said to the eleven Nascent Souls of Ximen Pojun: "Are you ready to retreat now?"
"Yes!" Ximen Pojun nodded and said: "The expedition to the south may not be decided in a year, but my realm has been consolidated now, and I want to try seclusion. Don't worry, Lingji can't stop me."
Others also nodded, and Gu Shuo said: "Okay, I will protect the law for you. However, I have to wait outside the east gate for seven days."
Ximen Pojun curled his lips and said, "You still think Liang Zhiqiang and the others will duel with you? Do they dare?"
"Whether they dare or not is their business, but what I say must come true."
"Okay, we'll go with you!"
Gu Shuo did not refuse, and then looked at Mo Ran Deng, Shi Yulong and Shi Yuhua: "The three of you have already solidified your realm, and along the way, we have told you three a lot about the Yuan Ying Dao. As long as you retreat, There should be no problem in breaking through the Nascent Soul."
All three nodded confidently.
Gu Shuo looked at the last person, Iron Curtain Chong: "Mu Zhong, give these two storage bags to Bei Xueling and Yun Sixia, and tell them that Lan Haijing's matter cannot be dealt with by Nie Xiaolou. You know, this is related to the safety of our entire Great Wilderness team of 18 people. There is never a shortage of greedy people in this world.
Once it gets out. Trouble abounds. "
"I understand!" Iron Curtain took over the two storage bags and said seriously.
Gu Shuo nodded and said: "Also, don't be stingy with spirit stones. Use the spirit stones to practice directly this year. Improving your own cultivation is the most important thing. Tell Bei Xueling and Yun Sixia not to save spirit stones either. .”
"I understand!" Tie Muzhong said seriously: "Otherwise, after death, all the spiritual stones accumulated will belong to others."
"Yes!" Gu Shuo laughed and said, "Let's break up then!"
Everyone dispersed with laughter, and it was not until dusk that the three Bei Xueling came back.
The next day.
Everyone gathered around Gu Shuo and arrived outside the east gate. Gu Shuo sat cross-legged on a rock and closed his eyes. He is polishing his state of mind. In his heart, waves of restlessness rose and fell. This made him sigh, heartbeat is really a trouble!
How can we get over the heartache?
Is it just a matter of retreat, no contact with external objects, and polishing it carefully?
It shouldn't be so!
Heart beats always have a source, or a central origin.
Everyone's heartbeat is different. What is my heartbeat?
According to records, there are two ways to spend your heartbeat.
One is to retreat and polish it carefully. This process may take ten years or a hundred years. Anyway, this method takes a long time.
The other is to find the origin of your own heartbeat. Once you solve this origin, most of the heartbeat will be over. If you polish it carefully in retreat, you can get through the heartbeat in as little as a few days or as long as a few months.
But what is the origin of my heart?
Gu Shuoan endured the restlessness in his heart and carefully searched for the origin of his heartbeat.
More and more people gathered outside the east gate, and finally someone shouted: "Brother Gu, Liang Zhiqiang and the others are not coming. How can they still dare to face you?"
Gu Shuo opened his eyes and smiled: "They are them, and I am me. Whatever you say must come true."
One day, two days, three days... seven days passed.
No one came to challenge Gu Shuo. This was what Gu Shuo expected. He stood up and walked towards the Dahuang team:
"Let's go back to retreat!"
Time passed day by day, Gu Shuo was very peaceful and leisurely these days, and the rest of the Dahuang team were in retreat. The eleven Nascent Souls closed themselves in the room and tried to enter spiritual silence.
This is the same as heartbeat. You can't just go in if you want to. You need an opportunity. It can be said that when facing spiritual silence, there is no experience to follow and no direction to find, so we can only meditate behind closed doors.
Mo Ran Deng, Shi Yulong and Shi Yuhua were also retreating in their rooms, but the three of them were much stronger than the eleven Nascent Souls of Ximen Pojun. They have direction and experience to draw from. As for Bei Xueling, Yun Sixia and Tie Muzhong, it is even simpler. The three of them now hold the spirit stones and practice every day to quickly improve their liquid state.
Nie Xiaolou sat in his room with a gloomy expression on his face. She discovered that she had always been proud of her appearance and her ability to be charming.
It actually had no effect in front of Gu Shuo, and she could also see that Gu Shuo did not accept her.
"Why on earth don't you accept me?"
She stood up and pushed open the window depressedly, only to see Gu Shuo walking in from outside the courtyard door. Gu Shuo sensed Nie Xiaolou's gaze, looked over and smiled at her. He didn't ask her why she didn't practice. Nie Xiaolou was not a member of his Great Wilderness team. So, he just smiled and walked towards the Moon Gate.
"Captain!" Nie Xiaolou leaned out of the window slightly.
"Huh?" Gu Shuo stopped and turned to look at her.
"They are all in seclusion, don't you want to practice?"
"I am also practicing, but the way of practice is different from theirs." Gu Shuo smiled, passed through the Moon Gate, and walked towards his room. Nie Xiaolou puffed up his face:
"What do you mean by a different way of cultivation? I haven't seen you practicing. Why are you trying to trick me?"
He put his arm on the window sill and put his chin on his hand: "He didn't deliberately distance himself from me, but he didn't deliberately get close to me either. He didn't take me seriously at all."
"no!"
"If this continues, when will I be able to realize my plan?"
"I have to take the initiative to look for opportunities!"
Nie Xiaolou got up, went to the dressing table, dressed himself up carefully, and then made himself a pot of tea. He drank a cup of tea slowly to calm down his heart, and then put down the tea cup. He stood up and walked out of the room.
The evening sun shines with its last afterglow, and the flowers in the yard bloom in the afterglow of the sun, swaying slowly in the breeze, like a sickly beauty radiating light. Nie Xiaolou held up her skirt slightly with both hands and walked slowly in the afterglow of dusk, a little lazily, and there was a charm in her laziness. After passing through the Moon Gate, he slowly passed Gu Shuo's room. The window of the room was open. Nie Xiaolou turned his head and looked over. He only saw Gu Shuo standing in front of the table, holding a brush and writing. Written very carefully and focused.
"He looks really good when he focuses..."
Nie Xiaolou thought this in her heart. At this time, she no longer had the idea of getting close to Gu Shuo. She seemed to be admiring a painting, and even curved her mouth with a smile. Her footsteps did not stop, although she walked slowly, but when she finally walked over, the smile on her lips disappeared, the mood of appreciating the scroll disappeared, and the purpose of getting closer to Gu Shuo came to her mind again.
He picked up the watering can and watered the flowers in the corner. He squatted there and stared at the flowers for a while, then got up and walked towards his room. Passing by Gu Shuo's room on the way, I looked over and saw that Gu Shuo was still writing attentively. She walked slowly past the window and through the moon door.
Gu Shuo was still writing, and he was calming his mind through writing, soothing the restlessness in his heart.
The sun completely set and the moon rose, shining on Gu Shuo through the window. Gu Shuo's hand holding the pen was writing, shaking the moonlight.
Dawn.
The room gradually became brighter, and the sunlight shone through the window and fell on Gu Shuo's body, glowing with a layer of light. He was still writing, and his frowning brows had relaxed, and his whole person exuded a bookish atmosphere.
In another room, Nie Xiaolou, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing, opened his eyes, with a hint of irritation floating between his brows. Gu Shuo's attitude towards her made her feel helpless and unhappy. This was the first time she had executed her plan, and it was so difficult. She raised her hands to hold her face, and then her breasts. They whispered:
"He's obviously a blind man!"
"What should we do with the blind man?"
Nie Xiaolou thought for a while, then got up to wash up and left the yard.
More than an hour later, she came back, dove into the kitchen, took out the purchased materials from the storage ring, and started making soup.
While cooking the soup, he whispered:
"It's not easy to do our job. You have to know how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and be good at cooking. You have to be able to enter the kitchen, go out of the hall, go to the killing field, and get into bed."
Gu Shuo was still writing, and a thick pile was already placed on the table. There is no hidden meaning in his words, but there is no potential at all.
Gushuo's reputation has now become loud and clear. A Dragon Gate Town is not an illusion in the world. Although it has not spread to the entire Tianxuan Continent, it has gradually spread in the east, especially in Canglang City, and everyone is aware of it.
Chu Yuntian, Feng Qingyan, a dragon gate dominates the world, and is sung in Canglang City.
In Qidaoling, Gu Shuo kicked the Ice Glass Dragon to death with two feet. In the decisive battle on the plains, he killed a hundred out-of-body creatures by himself. The Dahuang team did not suffer any casualties. The numerous legends, dangerous and tortuous battle process, and the exaggeration of the narrator made it difficult for Gu Shuo to fight. The listeners listened with gusto. What uu Kanshu Gushuo did exaggerated the spirit of the human race, making the human race feel the same and have a strong sense of empathy.
In this noisy and lively environment, the entire Dahuang team is in a state of seclusion, completely out of sync with the outside world. This made the entire human race in Canglang City feel more mysterious and interested in Gu Shuo and Dahuang Team. I fell into a mood of longing to see Gu Shuo.
Of course, Nie Xiaolou did not have this kind of emotion. She was in another kind of emotion, a depressed emotion.
Nie Xiaolou could see Gu Shuo every day and wanted to talk to Gu Shuo, but he didn't know exactly what he should say. He was completely gone as he was when he faced Yue Tonghui. She knew that she was suppressed by Gu Shuo, a kind of psychological and emotional suppression. She also knew that she only had one year. After one year, Gu Shuo would probably leave, and she would have no chance to be with Gu Shuo. .
She has never been in such a state. In the past, it was slightly difficult for men to be in front of her, but only slightly, because those people all coveted her. Even if they didn't covet her, they still had a good impression of her, even if they didn't have a good impression of her. , not disgusted with her either.
She looked at the cooking soup and turned to look at the leisurely white clouds outside. The white clouds moved and slowly blocked the sun. There were butterflies flying up and down outside the window, just like her mood. .
I remembered that I had heard about Gu Shuo's name in the early days, heard about the legend of Gu Shuo at Xifeng Pass, and recalled the process after I went on an expedition against the demon clan and joined the Great Wilderness team. I never thought that it would not be difficult to get close to Gu Shuo, but I wanted to leave. It is so difficult to enter Gushuo's true circle and gain Gushuo's acceptance.
