It seems that Mu Yaoshi really thinks of me as Yue Tonghui.
When Gu Shuo remained silent, Mu Yaoshi showed embarrassment on his face and said, "I took the liberty."
Gu Shuo waved his hand, with a deliberately complicated look on his face, and said softly: "You have investigated to this extent, it is impossible not to investigate Nie Xiaolou, right?"
A look of confusion appeared on Mu Yaoshi's face. Yue Tonghui and Nie Xiaolou must have had relationship problems. I'm afraid Yue Tonghui hasn't let go of Nie Xiaolou yet. But this news is not good. Can Yue Tonghui bear it?
But looking at Gu Shuo's expectant eyes, he finally said: "Nie Xiaolou has now become the young lady of the Huo family. Her husband is Huo Yunwu, one of the former five heroes."
Gu Shuo nodded, his current physical condition couldn't care about Nie Xiaolou's affairs. After thinking for a while he said:
"What else did you find out about me?"
"Just go to Loucheng, and then you disappear in Loucheng, and no information can be collected."
Gu Shuo nodded, feeling certain that Yue Tonghui seemed to be really dead.
Yue Tonghui stepped into the building city.
At this time, Yue Tonghui looked no different from a human being in appearance, because he was wearing a mask and a hooded cloak, covering himself very tightly. And now he also has a storage ring on his finger. He walked along the streets of Loucheng, and then gradually recalled bit by bit.
He recalled his downfall, his decadence, and then the appearance of Nie Xiaolou, which brought him happiness that finally stopped at the moment of his death.
He stood in the middle of the street, surrounded by the flow of people and noisy sounds.
But his heart was as cold as ice.
I turned out to be really human!
I was killed by Nie Xiaolou!
I became a ghost!
But why am I different from ghosts now?
Where do I belong now?
Nie Xiaolou!
Yue Tonghui walked into a restaurant.
This restaurant is called Wangyue Tower.
Sitting in Wangyue Tower, a trace of familiarity came to mind.
"Sir..." A waiter came over with a recipe.
Yue Tonghui took out a spirit stone and placed it on the table: "I'm asking you about someone. Do you know Nie Xiaolou?"
The guy stretched out his hand and put away the spirit stone, then said with a smile:
"Did your guest just come out of seclusion?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Because many people know that Nie Xiaolou is the Taoist priest of Huo Yunwu, the current young leader of the Huo family. The reason why they know her is because Huo Yunwu is so famous. He was once one of the five heroes, but he gave up in Qidaoling... …”
Yue Tonghui didn't completely believe this guy, but settled down in Loucheng. He asked many people, and although the details were different, the general content was the same.
This is a small courtyard, and it is midnight. The sound of sleeping snores sounded in the small courtyard room.
On the roof of the house, there is a man in a black robe and a mask, who is Yue Tonghui.
He sat there blankly, looking at the small courtyard under the ridge of the house.
Memories surged.
This was his and Nie Xiaolou's new house, and it was here that he was killed by Nie Xiaolou. The familiar environment gradually made his memory clearer, and every detail was replayed before his eyes.
But he was not angry, but calm, as calm as ice.
His mind wandered in another direction.
It was already a fact that he was killed by Nie Xiaolou. He was taken advantage of by Nie Xiaolou during a period of decadence. This is really similar to Huoyunwu. Huo Yunwu was also taken advantage of by Nie Xiaolou when he was decadent. The difference is that he died and Huo Yunwu is still alive.
but……
Why are you depressed?
Why are you so decadent?
The face inside the mask rippled, rippling in circles, and then gradually calmed down.
"I'll remember it sooner or later."
He looked up at the moon in the night sky, opened his mouth, and saw the moonlight pouring down from the sky, swallowed by him, and then spit out. Suddenly there was a realization in his heart.
He looked down at the storage ring on his finger. This was the trophy he got after killing a monk, devouring his soul.
On the way to Loucheng, he killed many monks and devoured the souls of many monks, which made him stronger. But at this moment, he suddenly had a realization.
Devouring souls is not the right way. If he continues like this, he may become stronger, but he will also be tortured by chaotic thoughts, because every time he swallows a soul, he will absorb the memories and thoughts of those souls. Now he has been affected, as if I am not a person, but a freak made up of countless individuals. I don’t know when, another thought came to me. Now he sometimes wonders whether he is Yue Tonghui?
Maybe Yue Tonghui was just the soul of a monk he swallowed in the ghost-raising gourd.
But at that moment, perhaps his constant absorption of moonlight every night reached a critical point, which made him realize something.
If I keep devouring myself like this, I'm afraid I will lose myself, no longer have an independent consciousness, and will become a confused ghost again. In the end, he was beaten to death by the monks or captured by the ghost-controlling monks.
Instead, it’s this moonlight…
He could clearly sense that absorbing the moonlight would make him stronger and purer. The moonlight would purify the impurities in his body and the distracting thoughts in his soul.
He sat on the roof of the house and thought carefully, but the thoughts in his soul were a little complicated, making it difficult for him to concentrate. Until the morning light first appeared, Yue Tonghui made up his mind to no longer devour souls, but only to breathe in the moonlight. He floated down from the ridge of the house and walked towards the city gate and towards the Fire Family's land.
The sun is shining and it is a good weather.
In the huge square in front of the Alchemy Hall of the West Railway Guantian League, alchemy tables were set up one after another. Alchemy furnaces were placed on the alchemy tables, as well as fire talismans and herbs provided by the Alchemy Palace. Behind each alchemy furnace were There stood an alchemist participating in the competition. At this time, everyone was concentrating on refining alchemy. Around the square, there were crowds of people watching.
There are three high platforms in front of the gate of the Alchemy Palace. Four people are sitting on the middle high platform, three Xuan Masters and one Huang Master. The three Xuan masters all wore jade guild presidents on their chests, with a Xuan character in the middle. Gu Shuo, who was at the end of the table, wore a gold badge on his chest with a yellow character in the center of the badge.

A Huang master and three Xuan masters sat side by side and became the judges of the West Railway Guandan Road Competition. No one felt that they were not qualified, but took it for granted.
This is a person who can refine top-quality elixirs starting from wild-level elixirs all the way up to yellow-level elixirs. There are people who can refine the best pills in Tianxuan Continent, but there is only one person like Gu Shuo who can refine the best pills from every level of pills in the entire series. Even the three Xuan Masters sitting next to Gu Shuo couldn't do this. It was this point that made the three Xuan Masters admire them in their hearts. They did not dare to look down on Gu Shuo at all. They completely regarded Gu Shuo as an alchemist in the same realm as themselves, let alone others?
There are two high platforms on the left and right, and there are more people on those two high platforms. Those people are all distinguished guests. He is a top figure in various fields in Xitieguan.
For example, the chief and deputy masters of Xitieguan, the masters of Xitieguan Tianmeng Artifact Hall, Talisman Hall, and Formation Hall, as well as celebrities in various fields.
As the sun gradually rose, accompanied by the sound of the furnace exploding from time to time, the atmosphere in Dabi became more and more tense. Finally, the competition among wild-level alchemists was over, and Gu Shuo and the four others began to inspect the refined elixirs. There were more than a thousand wild-level alchemists participating in the competition, and only more than 800 people had actually successfully refined them. Among these more than 800 people, the four of them, Gu Shuo, quickly refined low-grade and medium-grade pills. The people who took the pill were eliminated, and there were only fifty-six people who could refine high-grade pills. Then look at the number of high-grade elixirs refined by each person, and finally judge the quality details. These things can be seen at a glance, so the four people judged quickly and selected the top ten. Then the prizes will be distributed. These ten alchemists became famous in one battle.
There was a break at noon, and the competition in the afternoon was between Hong-level alchemists.
Mu Yaoshi sat next to Gu Shuo. In fact, for alchemists of their level, watching such an alchemy competition was very boring. However, in order to promote the development of the alchemy world, this kind of competition has to be held. Of course, we also hope to find good ideas in the competition. However, the four of them watched for less than a quarter of an hour. Judging from the methods of the more than 900 Hong-level alchemists below, there was no surprise. The four people started chatting. Gu Shuo's ears heard the message from Mu Yaoshi's spiritual consciousness:
"I heard that Ai Qingye wants to cause trouble for you?"
Gu Shuo was surprised, and his spiritual consciousness said: "You know everything? It seems that Ai Qingye is really arrogant. However, he has never come to me. Doesn't it mean that he is arrogant and domineering? Could it be that he is here with me? , they started a conspiracy, what the hell are you holding back?"
"Haha..." Mu Yaoshi laughed twice: "I don't think he is playing any conspiracy. He is the kind of person who doesn't care about anything all day long. What he thinks about today may be attracted by other messy things the next day. . Maybe he has fallen in love with that female cultivator again. In his opinion, how can you be as important as a woman?"
"Ha, he will die on a woman's belly sooner or later. I'm surprised." Gu Shuo glanced at Aiwei on the high platform on the left: "His father doesn't care? I wonder if this continues, sooner or later he will be killed?"
"This...hehe...it's hard to say."
"how?"
"It's terrible for anyone to have such a son. But after all, it's his own son. You can't kill him yourself, right?"
"Then you mean that Aiwei expects others to beat his son to death?"
"Haha, I didn't say that you can't just accuse someone of innocence!"
The competition in the afternoon was also uneventful. During the judging, Mu Yaoshi also asked Gu Shuo to explain the first place elixir, which won applause.
Gu Shuo and the three Xuan Masters came down from the high platform and saluted each other to say goodbye. When they turned around, they saw Ai Wei walking towards him and said with a smile on his face:
"I, Aiwei, have met Master Yuehuang."
Gu Shuo returned the greeting with a smile: "I have met Master Ai Guan."
Aiwei waved his hand: "Deputy Customs Master! Master Yuehuang, can I treat you to a cup of tea?"
"Okay! Then I'm sorry!"
Seeing Gu Shuo happily agreeing, there was no hesitation. Aiwei looked better and more enthusiastic. The two of them came to the tea house not far away. Aiwei ordered a pot of tea and drank a cup of tea. Gu Shuo said:
"Master Ai Guan, I am a bit straightforward, and I don't want to waste time and delay my study of alchemy. Therefore, Master Ai Guan, if you have anything, you might as well speak up."
Aiwei smiled and said: "You alchemists are all of this temper, so I will speak out. I have a son, have you heard about it?"
"No!" Gu Shuo shook his head and said, "I put all my time and energy into studying the alchemy path and rarely care about outside things."
Aiwei also investigated Gu Shuo and knew that what Gu Shuo said was true. In addition to refining alchemy all day long, I just spent time in the library. So he didn’t feel angry, but gave a thumbs up and said:
"You are really an ascetic monk in the path of alchemy."
Seeing that Gu Shuo was speechless and just looked at him with pure eyes, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll just say it straight. My son has very poor aptitude and talent, so I want you to refine some top-quality elixirs for him. . Don’t worry, there is absolutely no problem with the price, it’s up to you.”
Gu Shuo pondered for a moment and said, "What is your master's current level of cultivation?"
"Foundation Building Period!"
Gu Shuo immediately shook his head and said: "Then there is no other way. If Mr. Ling is in the Nascent Soul stage, I can leave some of the Daying Dan that I refine every day for you. I no longer refine those pills of the Foundation Establishment Pill. . And I am now at the stage of breaking through the level of Xuan-level alchemist, so I have neither time nor inclination to refine those low-level elixirs."
"Really can not?"
"Really can not!"
There was not much disappointment on Aiwei's face: "Forget it then. When you break through the Xuan Master and refine the top-grade magic pill, leave some for me."
"That's no problem!"
Ai Wei simply stopped talking about refining the elixir. The two of them chatted for less than two quarters of an hour before Gu Shuo stood up and left. Aiwei didn't try to hold him back, and the two parted in front of the tea house.
Gu Shuo walked towards Zhonghe Shop slowly and slowly, frowning slightly. Ai Wei is also very talkative. Observing his expression, there was indeed no displeasure at all. Is what Mu Yaoshi said right?
He doesn't pay that much attention to his son? Just ask yourself as a father, is it okay if you don’t agree?
Gu Shuo shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Regardless of his attitude toward his son, what does it have to do with him?
The next day.
Gu Shuo once again sat on the judging table with Mu Yaoshi and three other people. The one competing this morning was a Zhou-level alchemist. There were less than five hundred people participating in the competition. The voice of Mu Yaoshi’s spiritual consciousness came to my ears:
"Aiwei came to see you yesterday?"
"Well, he asked me to make an elixir for his son, but I refused. However, it seems that Aiwei doesn't care too much."
"Ai Wei is okay. If Ai Qingye troubles you, be merciful if you can."
Gu Shuo said in surprise: "I have already rejected his father, how dare he come to trouble me?"
"What's there to be afraid of? That person has been spoiled."
"Okay, as long as it doesn't go too far, I'll treat him as a dog."
