"A little smaller, a little smaller, a little smaller."
It wasn't until the three-legged poisonous toad became about the size of a human head that he knocked on the counter:
"Come up!"
The three-legged poisonous toad jumped up and lay on the counter.
"You just squat here, don't move, just be a decoration. Help me look after the shop."
"Yes, Master!"
Gu Shuo returned to the room again and began to force the sword energy in his body. After more than an hour, he stopped, then took out the Yin Yang Stone and held it in his arms. He lowered his head and looked at the Yin Yang Stone. There was joy in his eyes. There was still so much left. , maybe it can help you break through the tribulation period.
The next day.
Early in the morning, there was a noise coming from the front store. But soon there was silence, because all the elixirs were taken away.
Although it is not the best, the top-grade Great God Pill is also a hot commodity. And there aren’t many. Soon, the news of Gu Shuo's release spread throughout Xifeng Pass. Gu Shuo got up and went out, heading towards the Alchemy Palace. He had to continue reading in the Library Pavilion and study how to refine the Great Divine Pill to the highest quality.
Walking into the Alchemy Hall, before he could go to the library, he was stopped by Mu Yaoshi.
It had been more than half a year since Gu Shuo disappeared. He thought Gu Shuo had left Xitieguan. I felt regretful in my heart, but I didn't expect Gu Shuo to come back. I went to visit that day, but was told that it was closed. I got the news today that Gu Shuo had come to the Dan Palace, so I hurried down and grabbed Gu Shuo:
"Master Yuehuang, where have you gone?"
Gu Shuo was made a little uncomfortable by Mu Yaoshi's enthusiasm, but he couldn't force his hand out and let Mu Yaoshi pull him towards Mu Yaoshi's room.
"It's a bit boring to be in seclusion all the time, so I just go out for a walk."
"Yes!" Mu Yaoshi nodded in agreement: "I need to go out for a walk to change my mood, how about it? Have you gained anything from this trip for more than half a year?"
Gu Shuo thought for a moment and realized that his own shop was now selling great magic pills, so he nodded and said, "There is some gain, but not much."
"Is there a breakthrough?"
As if he was afraid that Gu Shuo would suddenly run away, Mu Yaoshi opened the door with one hand, and without letting go of Gu Shuo with the other hand, he opened the door and pulled Gu Shuo in. Only then was he willing to let go, and the two sat opposite each other. As Mu Yaoshi made tea, he looked at Gu Shuo expectantly.
"Yeah!" Gu Shuo nodded.
The hand of Mu Yaoshi made the tea for a moment, and a look of anticipation appeared on his face: "To what extent?"
"Can refine the Great God Pill!"
"What grade?"
"Top grade!"
"How many top-quality grains are there in one batch?"
"High-quality pills."
Mu Yaoshi opened his mouth in a circle and said, "You still call this a small breakthrough? How big do you want it to be?"
Gu Shuo sighed: "Of course it's the best!"
"you……"
Mu Yaoshi's face froze, and then he showed helplessness.
that's true!
People have been able to refine the best quality elixirs starting from the body tempering liquid, and every level of elixir is of the best quality. For us, being able to refine a full range of high-quality elixirs is the highest achievement. But for a genius like him, as long as he doesn't refine the best quality, it's a failure.
I poured a cup of tea for Gu Shuo and doubled it for myself. I picked it up and took a sip. The usually fragrant tea no longer smelled good. Suddenly something moved in my heart:
"Master Yuehuang...oh, no, I should call you Master Yuexuan now."
Gu Shuo waved his hand: "I haven't taken the test yet."
Mu Yaoshi smiled and said: "Isn't that a matter of time? Master Yuexuan, do you plan to take up a position in the Dan Palace? For example, deputy palace master?"
Gu Shuo was stunned for a moment: "Forget it, you know I don't have time."
"You don't need to manage the secular affairs. Let's put it this way, you just have a name, but you enjoy all the benefits of the deputy palace master."
"How can such a good thing happen?"
Mu Yaoshi nodded, knowing that for people like Gu Shuo, don't even think about Hu Nong: "You just need to make two main points. The first one is that if you are free, you can come to the Alchemy Hall to give a sermon. There are no specific requirements. It can be done once a year or once every five years, it mainly depends on your time.
The second one is that once something happens to the West Railway Kuantan Hall and you are needed, I hope you can take action. Of course, what needs your action must be related to alchemy. "
"Fine!"
Gu Shuo is good at everything. Anyway, he usually has nothing to do. As for himself, if he has time, he is also willing to teach his experience in alchemy. He is not a person who cherishes his own things. He knows that if the human race wants to develop, it cannot be too precious. And once something happened to Danmeng, as long as he was at Xitieguan, he wouldn't be able to sit idly by and ignore it.
Seeing his agreement, Mu Yaoshi was overjoyed.
"I'll make arrangements right now..."
"boom……"
The roar of the magical passage suddenly sounded outside the window. Gu Shuo's expression changed. He suddenly stood up and came to the window. He opened the window and looked outside.
This can't help but surprise him. In any human city, fighting is allowed, but the release of magical channels is absolutely not allowed. He stayed in Xitieguan for two years and never heard the sound of the magical channel being released.
"It's the demon clan again!"
On the contrary, Mu Yaoshi, who came over, was not surprised at all, his face was only filled with anger.
"The demon clan?" Gu Shuo's face became even more shocked: "The demon clan invaded?"
"No! It's a demon servant sent by the demon clan!"
"Demon servant?"
Gu Shuo's eyes suddenly dawned. What surprised him at first was how could the demon clan sneak in?
When he heard the demon servant, he suddenly felt enlightened and at the same time, he also frowned.
The inspection of the human race city gate is very simple. As long as you are not a demon race, you can enter and exit at will. Usually there are no demon servants sneaking in, and there are even demon servants who have settled in the human territory for a long time, but these demon servants also play the role of spies, but why did the fight start today?
"Did we find out?"
"No!" Mu Yaoshi looked even more angry: "These demon servants are death squads sent by the demon clan. They..."
"boom……"
With a shocking loud noise, Gu Shuo jumped out of the window, followed closely by Mu Yaoshi:
"Master Yuexuan, be careful!"
"I know!"
As the two people flew towards the place where the explosion occurred, Mu Yaoshi said: "After these demon servants enter the West Tieteguan, they attack important human monks or important places in the West Tieteguan. For example, the place where elixirs are refined, we The Alchemy Palace has been attacked."
At this time, Gu Shuo had arrived not far above the place where the explosion had just occurred, and he lowered his head and looked down.
There was ruins below, and the surrounding houses had collapsed. There were many corpses on the ground, as well as many body parts and pieces of flesh.
That demon servant blew himself up!
Mu Yaoshi said solemnly: "Their final outcome is the same, self-destruction. When they came, they never thought about going back, and the demon clan did not let them go back. Even if they were allowed to cause casualties and panic to Xitieguan, they would all self-destruct in the end. "
Gu Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is there nothing we can do about Xitieguan?"
Mu Yaoshi shook his head and said: "There is really no way. The demon servant is a human being and cannot be seen at all. We can't close the West Railway Pass, right? Where do the cultivation resources for so many monks in the pass come from?"
Monks need to go out to hunt monsters, or kill monsters, pick herbs, and find ores. These are the resources for their cultivation. Strict examination of identity cannot be done, and there are more than ten million human monks in Xifeng Pass. It's difficult anyway. "
Gu Shuo couldn't help but frown. He felt the seriousness of the matter: "Is this the demon servant from Dahuang, or Tianxuan's demon servant? I remember that Tianxuan has no way to control the demon servant."
"It's not from Dahuang. We are monitoring Dahuang's side. If Dahuang can send so many demon servants, there is no way we can't monitor them."
"A lot?" Gu Shuo's expression tightened: "Are there many such demon servants?"
"Yes!" Mu Yaoshi nodded and said, "Sixteen such incidents have occurred in the past three months."
"Since three months ago?"
"Yes! We suspect that the demon clan from Tianxuan went to the Great Wilderness and got the inheritance of the demon clan from the Great Wilderness to control the human race and turn the human race into demon servants."
"It's a bit troublesome!"
"Yes!" Mu Yaoshi also had a headache on his face.
Gu Shuo and Mu Yaoshi returned to the Alchemy Palace, chatted with Mu Yaoshi for a while, and then Gu Shuo went to the Library Pavilion.
At this time, he was in the study room of the City Lord's Mansion.
Guanzhu Zhou Xiangru sat there with a serious look on his face. Opposite him was the deputy customs master Ai Wei, with the same solemn expression.
In three months, there were sixteen outbreaks. It caused great chaos in Xitieguan. If this continues, people will become panicked and many monks will leave Xitieguan. Once a large number of monks leave and the demon clan launches a surprise attack, the West Railway Pass may not be safe.
"Master Guan, after we reported it, has there been any news from the Tianmeng?"
"Yes!" Zhou Xiangru rubbed his eyebrows: "Tianmeng is thinking of a way. Let us investigate in detail first. If it doesn't work, let them close the West Railway Pass."
Aiwei also rubbed his eyebrows. Tianmeng was thinking of a way, which meant that there was no way. I couldn't help but sigh:
"Alas, if Gu Shuo were here, the demon clan would not dare to do this."
"Why?" Zhou Xiangru asked strangely.
"Because the demon tribe dared to send demon servants over, Gu Shuo dared to kill the demon tribe and turn the demon tribe into a pot of porridge. Unfortunately, no one in Tianxuan dared to do this except Gu Shuo."
Zhou Xiangru was moved in his heart. Others didn't know that the so-called Yue Tonghui was Gu Shuo, but he knew.
"That's right!" Aiwei's eyes suddenly lit up: "The Four Gods or Four Heroes can also be used. We can ask the Heavenly Alliance to send the Four Gods or Four Heroes to kill the demon clan."
Zhou Xiangru rolled his eyes: "Do you think you are the leader of the Heavenly Alliance? You make a request and the Four Gods or Four Elites will listen to you?
If this is really the case, there are so many things going on in Tianxuan, and they are not enough to keep the Four Gods or Four Elites busy. "
"Hey!" Aiwei smiled: "It would be great if the Dahuang team was here."
"Don't even think about it!" Zhou Xiangru said: "Don't say that Dahuang Squad is in Dahuang now. Even if they are in Tianxuan and Xitieguan now, you can't order them. Dahuang Squad doesn't even care about Taiqing Sect, they will care about you. A perfect god?
Don't say I didn't remind you. When the time comes, you will be scolded by the Great Desolation Team, why don't you go kill the demon clan? Let me see how you answer? "
But Aiwei cheered up and said: "Master Guan, that's why I'm looking for you this time. We can't be passively beaten all the time. Why don't I pick a few transformed gods and follow me to sneak into the demon clan and give them a What’s the lesson?”
"Quickly extinguish this idea!" Zhou Xiangru glared and said, "Do you think you are Gu Shuo? If you want to kill yourself, don't bring other gods with you."
Seeing that Aiwei still wanted to speak, he waved his hand and said: "I have my own solution for this matter. Just let me think about it. And even if the human death squad is sent over, it will be me, and it won't be your turn as the deputy chief."
"Master Guan..."
"You go down first, I said I need to think about it."
"Okay!" Aiwei stood up and left.
Zhou Xiangru closed his eyes and frowned gradually.
dusk.
Gu Shuo wandered back to Zhonghe Shop. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhou Xiangru.
"Master Zhou Guan, are you so free?"
Zhou Xiangru said with a smile: "I came to see you for something!"
"What about the demon servant?"
"Um!"
"come in!"
Gu Shuo took Zhou Xiangru through the back door and came to his room, where the guests and the host sat down. Gu Shuo made tea and then said:
"Do you have any idea?"
At this time, Zhou Xiangru's face had become solemn. He first told the story of the sixteen demon servants in the past three months, and then reported it to the Tianmeng and the recovery of the Tianmeng. Finally he said:
"Fellow Ancient Daoist, I know you are an earth-level weapon refiner. Is there any way you can refine a magic weapon and hang it on the city gate, so that you can tell who is human and who is demon? Once you become a demon again, Can a clan give a warning when they pass through the city gate?"
Gu Shuo fell into thinking. Not to mention, the method proposed by Zhou Xiangru was really feasible, but it required deduction and constant testing. If it had been placed before, Gu Shuo wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. But now there are millions of demon clan marks in Gu Shuo's storage ring, and these marks were stripped from the demon servant's sea of consciousness. These marks can be used for experiments.
Gu Shuo raised his head and saw Zhou Xiangru's expectant eyes.
"Theoretically it's possible, but it takes time."
Zhou Xiangru was overjoyed, stood up and bowed to Gu Shuoyi: "Thank you, Master Gu."
Gu Shuo stretched out his hand to help: "I am also a human race, and this is what I should do. However, I have a problem."
"You ask."
"The Tianxuan Monster Clan has learned the art of Demon Servant. Did they go to the Great Wilderness to learn this, or did the Great Wilderness Monster Clan come?"
Zhou Xiangru shook his head and said, "I don't know, is this important?"
"Important!" Gu Shuo nodded and said: "If it is just the demon clan from Tianxuan who went to the Great Wilderness to learn, it means that the Great Wilderness has no intention of... or in other words, the idea of conquering Tianxuan."
This sentence frightened Zhou Xiangru. As soon as he sat down, he almost jumped up: "You mean, if the Dahuang Monster Clan came to Tianxuan and taught it to the Tianxuan Monster Clan, Dahuang would have the idea of conquering Tianxuan?"
"Not necessarily!" Gu Shuo frowned: "But there is no doubt that Dahuang has begun to pay attention to Tianxuan. They will continue to send some monsters to Tianxuan, and then we, Tianxuan, will inevitably compete with them. If we go, the situation will inevitably expand and will eventually lead to an all-out war between Tianxuan and Dahuang."
