Gu Can arrived at the gate of Zhoucheng Mansion. There were two white jade lions made by the Xian family squatting at the door. They looked majestic. Even the hungry beggars saw them and probably no longer had the courage to approach the gate to beg.
Gu Can didn't knock on the door in a hurry.
Liu Chicheng and Chai Bofu had no choice but to stand on the street and drink from the northwest wind.
Gu Can walked up the spotless steps, stretched out his hand to pull the animal head door knocker, stopped his fingers, and froze for a moment. It was the golden lacquered pepper pattern door that could only be used at the gate of the Duke's mansion. Gu Can sighed in his heart, it shouldn't be like this.
It's arrogant, even if there is a Taipingwushi brand house at home, it is not a big problem. The official residence of the governor of Zhoucheng must have obtained the secret information from the Kiln Supervision and Construction Office, so he did not care about this matter with this house. It's just this kind of thing.
I still need to tell my mother about the matter. There is no need to be so lavish on the appearance, which can easily lead to extraneous matters.
Gu Can knocked on the door knocker and took a step back. A concierge in expensive clothes opened the door. He saw Gu Can in ordinary clothes. He looked unhappy and asked with a frown: "Which family's son in the city is the servant of the yamen?"
Gu Can was stunned for a moment before he remembered that his current appearance had changed a bit. The other person was not an old man from Qingxia Island, so it was normal for him not to recognize him. The personal maid that her mother had taken with her when she left Shujian Lake had also changed over the years.
They all practiced smoothly and became Qi practitioners in the middle and fifth realms one after another. Their realms were not high, but they were not too involved in household chores. Regarding their cultivation, Gu Can mentioned them in detail in the letters he exchanged with his mother in his early years.
They also helped select several treasures on the mountain. They only need to practice step by step, refine the natal objects, and break through the realm.
The concierge quickly glanced at the two people at the foot of the steps behind the young man, a frail scholar and a young boy with gray hair, and instantly thought he had estimated the family wealth of the three of them.
The concierge man is a pure martial artist who hides his strength. The five realms are indeed good in the ordinary world. In any small vassal country, it is more than enough to start a sect. Being a concierge and a guardian is condescending. I guess there are still some
Money can make the world go round, or it could be that someone who got into trouble came here to take refuge. The worst result is that the other party has ulterior motives, is fishing for big fish in a long-term way, and colludes with Shanze Yexiu to covet this building.
With the rich fortune of the mansion, Gu Can has been accustomed to the world over the years, and has seen many interlocking scams. He also deliberately watched from a distance, witnessing two bees and sparrows from beginning to end, a family that was ruthless for the sake of wealth,
As a result, the family was destroyed, and Gu Can showed up when the gangsters got their hands on the spoils, and asked them for some advice. The other party hid their secrets, and their words were unpleasant, so Gu Can asked Zeng Ye to use a magic trick to occupy the magpie's nest.
He learned a lot from himself. The door style of another household seemed to be good, so Gu Can helped him out.
Gu Can smiled and said, "My name is Gu Can, and this is my home."
The concierge man immediately changed his expression, lowered his head and bent down to get out of the way, "I have seen the young master's house. I will go and report to my wife now."
Gu Can crossed the threshold and waved his hand: "No, it's just a few steps away. I don't bother you to report."
The concierge smiled flatteringly and said, "At first glance, I would have mistaken the Young Master's family for the gentlemen and sages of the academy."
The man at the concierge has already figured out the family's background. The head of the family is a monk who has traveled far away for many years and has not returned. The government has not said anything about this in detail, and it is probably out of sight. The young master is a scholar who is studying abroad, so there is only one person left.
Wearing gold and jade, a very wealthy Taoist family, the lady was very proud every time she mentioned her son. If it weren't for the two personal maids beside the woman, who were actually accomplished qigong practitioners, they would have taken action long ago.
, such a huge windfall could not be spent in a few lifetimes. So this year, they specially recruited a friend from the Taoist community to join the gang and let him spend time on one of the maids.
Gu Can smiled and said: "Good taste."
Liu Chicheng nodded and said: "It's really excellent."
Chai Bofu glanced at that pure martial artist. It was pitiful, really pitiful. There were so many ways to make a fortune, but they ran into this family. A bunch of foxes who thought they were smart, broke into the dragon's pond and jumped around in the tiger's den, either looking for death or something.
Liu Chicheng pressed Chai Bofu's head with a slap, "Brother Long Bo, what's going on? You didn't say a word because you think our Young Master Gu is not worthy of a gentleman?"
Chai Bo Fu was like five thunders striking the head, and all the key energy palaces trembled. The Longmen Realm, which had finally been stabilized, was in danger! Chai Bo Fu said quickly: "Young Master Gu deserves it, he deserves it."
Ordinary villains would say something to scare people before taking action, but this perverse senior next to him always struck first and then reasoned.
However, after getting along for a long time, Chai Bofu became more and more determined to follow the Tao, and he must become a genealogical disciple of Baidi City, the Divine Continent of Middle-earth.
The concierge man closed the door, and suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. It turned out that the slender Gu Can reached out and grabbed the man's neck, pressing his head against the door. There was blood oozing between Gu Can's five fingers, which was obvious.
He was very cruel and asked softly: "With the door closed, you don't have to worry about making jokes to outsiders. Tell me, how many people are there in total? Who is the one with the highest level?"
Gu Can suddenly put away his hand, turned around, looked into the distance with a smile, and then gave his back to that pure martial artist.
A woman ran over quickly and stepped on the hem of her skirt that was trailing on the ground several times. When she saw Gu Can, whom she hadn't seen for many years, her eyes filled with tears.
Enduring hardship to survive, enjoying happiness and making money, in the final analysis, it is not for this heartless little bastard who only sends family letters home.
Gu Can walked quickly, and his wife hugged her son and choked with sobs. Gu Can gently patted his mother's back, looking as usual, smiling at the two maids who had all the glory and wealth that came from him.
The two young women just looked at Gu Can and immediately lowered their heads, their hands and feet feeling cold as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
The woman let go of Gu Can, wiped her tears, and began to look at her son carefully. She was relieved at first, but she didn't know if she thought of how much Gu Can had to suffer when she was alone outside. The woman covered her mouth again and sobbed, blaming herself in her heart.
, complaining about the dead man who inexplicably became the god of the mountain, complaining about Chen Ping'an for leaving Gu Can alone and killing Tan Xue, complaining about God's lack of foresight, why did he let Gu Can suffer so much.
After Gu Can and her mother went to the hall to reminisce about old times, they set foot in their own study for the first time. Liu Chicheng took Brother Long Bo to wander around the mansion. Gu Can called over two maids, and the one who had never been there.
The concierge who dares to fight to the death.
Gu Can moved a chair with its back to the window, put his elbow on the handle of the chair, supported his chin with one hand, and asked: "It is inevitable that the tree will attract wind. I will not be harsh on you two on this matter. After all, my mother also has something wrong with her."
It’s not a good place to just forget one’s roots. Does my mother know about outsiders sneaking into the mansion to set up a trap? "
The two maids were already kneeling on the ground.
One of the maids looked confused.
Another maid nodded and said: "I told my wife, she said it was just to relieve my boredom."
Gu Can hesitated for a moment and asked, "Has my father arranged any backup plans?"
The maid said in a deep voice: "The master is very worried about his wife's safety. Not only did he greet the master of the local Chenghuang Pavilion, but he also used magical powers on the door god of a courtyard gate. There is an elderly seventh-level martial artist in the house who was once a
I was born in the border army, and my hometown is on the boundary of the old mountains of Dali, so I met the master, and was invited here by the master. Now I am hiding my name, working as a guard, and keeping an eye on the concierge and the gang."
The concierge man's mind went blank.
A "taoist" who can establish friendship with the Longzhou City God and let the Seventh Realm Grandmaster serve as the guardian of the courtyard?
Why is he constantly being scolded as a useless ghost by that petty woman?
Gu Can was helpless, what kind of incense love, Da Li Seventh Realm martial artist, all were recorded in the record, and the court kept a close eye on them. They were probably similar to the down-and-out mountain god Song Yuzhang. It was true that they protected the Gu Mansion, but there were more
It was still an open and honest surveillance. The mountain god's father, whom Gu Can had no memory of, would naturally not expose such inside stories and cause her to worry in vain.
Gu Can looked at the pure warrior who was still thinking about how to survive, and said for no reason, "The person behind the scenes may be a real expert, but as for you, forget it, I guess it is still unclear who planned it, and whether there was a plan.
"
Gu Can said to himself: "Man perishes for money, and birds perish for food. Why are there so many fools in the world?"
A smiling voice said, "Isn't this a good thing? In the chess game, if you throw the pieces around randomly, how can you talk about taking the lead? Only the younger and smarter people can get ahead, and the latecomers will get the upper hand."
Gu Can stood up solemnly. There was no one in the room, but Gu Can was still respectful and bowed with his fists.
A man in white clothes appeared next to Gu Can, "Pack yourself up and follow me to Baidi City. Before you leave, you and Liu Chicheng first go to Huanghu Mountain to meet the old Taoist named Jia Sheng in this life. He
If the old man is willing to show up, you will be my little junior brother. If he is not willing to see you, you can just be my registered disciple."
The man in white held a scroll in his hand, which was a shabby "Sou Shan Picture" and handed it to Gu Can, "Take this with you and go to Huanghu Mountain."
Before coming to this mansion, the man retrieved the Search Mountain Picture from Lin Shouyi. As a return gift, he helped Lin Shouyi complete the "Langlang Book on the Clouds" that originally came from Baidi City, and gave it to Zhongxia
Two volumes. Although Lin Shouyi was an academy student, he was very fast on the road of cultivation. He reached the cave realm very quickly in his early years. He specialized in the lower five realms and the first volume of "Yunshangshu" was a great achievement. The thunder method contained in the secret book is
The authentic Five Thunder Dharma, but this is not the greatest subtlety of "Yunshangshu". Opening up avenues and practicing without hindrance is the fundamental purpose of "Yunshanglanglangshu". The person who wrote this book has experienced Longhu Mountain
The Lord of Baidi City, Lei Fa, personally edited, perfected, and cut out many complicated branches and leaves.
Where in the world is the most cloudy place?
Naturally it is Baidi City.
As for why the Taoist book in the first volume fell into the hands of Lin Shouyi, it was of course written by A Liang. Scholars borrow books and never return them, so Lin Shouyi fell in love with this book at a glance.
It can be said that the relationship is excellent.
Since it was a gift from A Liang, Baidi City didn't care about Lin Shouyi's "unintentional act and stealing the truth from his master".
However, Lin Shouyi, even after he reported his name, still refused to say a word about the origin of Sou Shan Tu.
This is the reason why the Lord of Baidi City is willing to give away the last volume of "Book on the Cloud". Originally, Lin Shouyi should have been reduced to a chess piece and suffered a calamity if he was given the middle volume.
Gu Can was expressionless after hearing this, but his heart was shocked. He knew that Jia Sheng!
Luo Luo Mountain was enshrined by name. A blind old Taoist priest who was lucky enough to eat and drink in Qilong Lane accepted two disciplined disciples, a lame young man, Zhao Denggao, who is a demon clan, and Tian Jiuer, whose blood is the most important thing.
Good talisman material. It is said that Jia Sheng moved to Huanghu Mountain to practice cultivation in Jiemao a few years ago.
There is such a person dormant in Luo Po Mountain. Zhu Lian and Wei Bo have not recognized any trace of this person?
"If I hadn't come here, everyone in Luopo Mountain would never know that there was such a person. Then Jia Sheng would be just Jia Sheng until his death. Maybe in the middle of Jia Sheng's cultivation, he would naturally go to the fifth place.
The world is under heaven. One day the soldiers will be separated from the world, and one day they will change their skins again. The cycle goes on and on, never getting tired of it."
The man in white smiled and said: "Don't think too much, it's just his usual way of playing in the world. After sheathing his sword in his early years, he completely changed as a person. He is good at deceiving himself and doesn't like to deceive others. He has died many times in misfortunes on the mountain and down the mountain, but he has not been seen.
