Chapter three hundred and twentieth: moved
If you don’t pay attention, you will naturally not be able to see anything, but if you pay attention, you will be flaws everywhere.
Gu Xiu thought that when he was at the messenger, Xu Ruoguang revealed the truth in one sentence. He must have discovered an abnormality as soon as he entered the city. Compared with him, what he lacked is not only cultivation, but also keen insight.
After walking a few streets, a group of four came to an alley. The alley was very narrow and was considered to be the edge of Fancheng.
Gu Xiu looked around and found that the alley was not newly built. I thought that because this alley was far from the city lord's mansion, it was not affected by the battle.
There are only a few shops in the alley, most of which are homes. Gu Xiu glanced at those shops and they all sold items used by mortals. There were only a few items with divine breath used by monks. The divine breath on those items was also very weak, and it seemed that they were just low-level cultivation items.
From this perspective, Gu Xiu had a general understanding of this alley. I think most of the people living in this alley were mortals, and among these mortals were a few low-level monks.
Gu Xiu glanced at Xu Ruoguang. Is there someone here who can help her deliver letters?
Xu Ruoguang noticed his gaze and said warmly: "Don't be anxious, it's coming soon."
Nearly halfway through the alley, Xu Ruoguang went up to knock on the door of a family. After knocking for a while, the door opened. The one who opened the door was a middle-aged male cultivator who looked like a middle-aged man. When he saw Xu Ruoguang, he seemed surprised and immediately bowed and bowed, "Ruo..."
"Let's talk about it when you go in!" Xu Ruoguang raised his hand to stop the male cultivator from giving salute.
"Yes, please come in!" The middle-aged male cultivator reacted quickly and hurriedly invited four of them to come in.
When he entered the door, Gu Xiu found that this was a small courtyard with three main houses and two wing rooms on the left and right. In the right wing room near the gate, there was a small room with the door open. Gu Xiu took a look and it was a kitchen.
The middle-aged male cultivator Xu Ruoguang introduced into the hall, and then bowed and said, "Master Ruoguang, I don't know that the uncle of the master is coming, and I have misunderstood him. Please forgive me!"
"No need to be so polite, sit down!" Xu Ruoguang said, holding Gu Xiu and sat down nearby. It was not until he sat down that he let go of Gu Xiu's hand. Gu Xiu looked at his hand and felt that his hand was finally visible to the light. She felt relieved for her hand.
The middle-aged male cultivator secretly glanced at Gu Xiu and Xu Ruoguang's hands that had just been let go, and his eyes flashed. He was about to ask Xu Ruoguang what was important to come this time, but Xu Ruoguang introduced him: "This is Gu Xiu, a disciple of Jiuyun Mountain, Peng Changzheng, and this is my good friend Ji Yu."
When the middle-aged male cultivator heard that Gu Xiu and Peng Chang were a disciple of Jiuyun Mountain, he looked upright and hurriedly saluted to the two of them and said, "Uncle Gu, Uncle Peng," he saluted Ji Yu and called out, "Senior Ji!"
Then Xu Ruoguang introduced the middle-aged male cultivator to Gu Xiu and the other two, "He is a disciple of our Shangcheng City Lord's Mansion located in the Fancheng Communication Office. What's your name?"
The middle-aged male cultivator hurriedly said respectfully: "When you come back to the uncle of the master, Sun Wu, the disciple Sun Wu, in addition to the younger generation, there is also Uncle Tang, who is a cultivator in the early stage of Sanshen, and a junior brother Qiao, who is a cultivator in the early stage of Ningxi. Both of them are now doing business, leaving only the disciples to stay behind."
Xu Ruoguang nodded and asked, "Is there something big about Fancheng a month ago?"
Sun Wu nodded, "Yes."
Next, Sun Wu told the battle between the Lord Wancheng Palace and Elder Fang for a month ago, and there was no big difference between what they had heard at the Fancheng Communications Office before.
"After the battle is over, Uncle Tang will go to the city lord's mansion to report the news. It should be almost here now." Sun Wu said again.
Xu Ruoguang nodded and outlined the appearance of a woman in the air with his divine breath. The woman was Gu Shu, who ordered Sun Wu: "Help ask if there has been any woman in Fancheng. If it has been, where is this woman now? Remember, hurry up, and focus on inquiring about the Xiang family in Fancheng. Of course, if the Xiang family does not have one, other places need to be carefully inquired."
Sun Wu quickly recorded Gu Shu's appearance and said respectfully to Xu Ruoguang: "Don't worry, uncle Master, the disciple immediately summoned other fellow disciples stationed in Fancheng to help inquire about the whereabouts of the woman."
Xu Ruoguang nodded, stood up, and said, "I will come here again tomorrow."
Leaving this small messaging office, Gu Xiu asked, "Sun Wu said just now that Senior Brother Tang can reach Shangcheng in one month. How did he get there?"
The yard was so small, and Gu Xiu had carefully investigated it but found no traces of the formation. I think there were no formations such as square inch formations that expanded or hidden spaces, unless the formation was so high that it could not even be discovered with his own cultivation level.
But since there is no space, where did the mount come from? Could it be that it is raised in the cultivator's own spiritual beast space?
Gu Xiu did not find any items suspected to be like a spiritual beast space on Sun Wu.
Xu Ruoguang said: "Of course, there are bird demon mounts that can only rush from Fancheng to the distant Shangcheng in about one month.
The bird demon mount was not in the yard just now, but was tamed in other places. If you want to use it, the monks at the messenger office would go to collect it with their own identity jade tablets."
Next, the four of them found an inn and prepared to rest for one night. The next day, they went to the messaging office to ask about the news.
Along the way, Ji Yu was so quiet that Peng Changzheng and Gu Xiu were a little uncomfortable.
"What are you doing when you look at me like this?" Until they each received the room keys, Ji Yu noticed Gu Xiu and Peng Changzheng staring at him and asked the two of them strangely.
Peng Chang argued: "What trouble did Fellow Daoist Ji encounter?"
Ji Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Peng Changzheng strangely, "Why do you ask like this?"
"Along the way, Fellow Daoist Ji was silent. I thought Fellow Daoist Ji was in trouble, so I was depressed." Peng Changzheng honestly expressed his guess.
Ji Yu looked at Peng Changzheng who cared about him and wanted to say something to him. Seeing his eyes full of concern, he couldn't say these words to others no matter what, so he had to say helplessly: "Who is depressed? I am moving, I am moving, do you know?"
"Fellow Daoist Guangyue, what are you touching?" Gu Xiu was also confused. Have they encountered anything that touches people's hearts along the way?
After all, Fancheng is a great cultivation city. Gu Xiu and others did not see the earth-shaking battle between the two great Xuanshen period gods and their followers, nor did they see the ruins after the battle. All they saw were such a crude city built again under the rush to make quick success and instant benefits.
They did not see the whole Fancheng monks and mortals working together to rebuild their homes, nor did they see the displaced old, weak, lonely and disabled. In short, Fancheng is now as calm as any city Gu Xiu has walked through in the past. Even if it is just the surface, it is still calm. And there is no need or strength to explore the turbulent waves under this calmness.
Gu Xiu couldn't figure out what kind of place is worthy of being moved by Ji Yu, a cold-hearted guy, that he was so moved along the way that he never said a word.
