Chapter 5 The Neighbors

"Bang" sound!

The wooden door of the shack suddenly opened inward like a leaf blown up by a strong wind. Affected by the doorpost, it continued to spin and hit the wall of the shack, stirring up smoke and dust all over the sky.

At the same time, a two-foot-long translucent silver light blade flew from outside the door and struck hard at the wooden bed inside the house.

The moment the wooden door was forced to open before it was opened, Gao Yuan had already noticed a strange movement. He subconsciously jumped up from the bed, slapped his right hand on the amulet around his waist, and a bright yellow protective light shield several feet thick instantly formed.

form.

As soon as he stood firm on the ground, Gao Yuan felt a flash of water in front of his eyes, and a silver spear rubbed his body and hit the wooden bed behind him.

When the wooden bed instantly shattered into two halves, Gao Yuan also saw a figure outside the door who was wearing a protective light shield like him.

only one person!

Gao Yuan felt a little relieved, as long as it wasn't a group fight!

Then the inner energy surged into the purple gold ring, and the latter suddenly buzzed and trembled. After being thrown by Gao Yuan, it turned into a golden light and shadow, flying towards the figure outside the door!

The man outside the door seemed a little surprised by Gao Yuan's reaction. He paused for a moment and was about to attack again when he saw a golden light shooting towards him like an arrow.

The figure was startled and subconsciously wanted to dodge, but it was already too late!

As soon as the figure turned around halfway, the purple gold ring had already hit his protective light shield heavily.

There was a muffled sound of "pop", and the bright yellow light shield around the figure distorted violently and dimmed instantly.

Magical weapon?!

The figure's heart was shaken, and she never expected that this young man actually had a magic weapon on his body.

No wonder the other party acted so calm during the day. At the time, I thought he was just pretending, but I didn’t expect that this time he really hit the wall!

The figure felt regretful in his heart. Seeing that the golden light circled in a circle and was about to fly towards him again, he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he turned around and ran away.

While escaping, the figure painfully took out an amulet and slapped it on his body again. He didn't even dare to return home and ran straight out of the market town, quickly disappearing into the night.

Seeing the other person's figure flying away quickly, Gao Yuan didn't react for a moment.

Is this the end? That’s it?

According to his expectations, he would have to fight head-on for several rounds before he could possibly repel the opponent!

Considering that his current level of internal energy was not suitable for a protracted battle, after throwing the purple gold ring, Gao Yuan's right hand had already pressed on the thunder talisman, trying to severely damage the opponent in the shortest time.

Unexpectedly, the opponent retreated so decisively without hitting a single blow that his subsequent preparations were unable to be carried out.

But this is also a good thing. The thunder attracting talisman, which is as powerful as the high-level lightning control technique, is Gao Yuan's biggest support at present, and it is just such a piece, so it is an unexpected surprise that it can be preserved.

After standing there and sensing attentively for a while, after confirming that there was no other abnormality around him, his nervousness calmed down a little, and he walked to the door.

Looking at the door bolt that had been broken into several sections and falling to the ground, and then at the deformed and cracked door pillars on the side, Gao Yuan sighed helplessly.

This is a bad thing about National Cultivation. Doors made of ordinary materials can hardly play a protective role. Compared with this, the function of isolating outsiders' sight is more reliable.

Standing inside the door, Gao Yuan quickly glanced outside the door.

Under the moonlight, the shanty town was quiet at night. If it hadn't been for the scene of a home invasion and murder that had just been staged, it would have seemed quite peaceful and warm.

He reluctantly closed the wooden door that had been deformed by the impact, and Gao Yuan's eyes turned to the wooden bed that had been reduced to a pile of fragments.

Tonight's attack reminded him that the figure was obviously very familiar with the layout of the shack. The moment the wooden door collapsed, the opponent's attack had already gone straight to the wooden bed.

Considering that this shack has been abandoned for a long time, there are probably not a few people in the nearby area who have visited here.

The layout of the house also had to be changed, and Gao Yuan made a decision in his mind.

He did not plan to repair the wooden bed, but rummaged through the remains of the wooden bed for a while and picked out some relatively complete wooden strips.

The door of the shack was staggered, and a small wooden platform three feet square and one foot high was built in the corner of the house, close to the somewhat collapsed stove.

He sat cross-legged on the wooden platform and felt it, it was still stable, and a look of satisfaction suddenly appeared on his face.

Practitioners have very low requirements for sleep, and they can restore their energy while meditating and practicing Qi.

Therefore, he abandoned the wooden bed that took up space and planned to meditate and rest on the wooden platform from now on.

The discomfort is certain, but it is nothing compared to the danger to one's own safety.

Sitting cross-legged on the small wooden platform, Gao Yuan's thoughts were flying in his mind, and he was still unable to enter concentration, so he simply stopped trying.

He stood up and took the wooden box not far away and opened it. He saw a hundred small yellow croakers neatly stacked in two layers in the dark brown wooden box.

This kind of gold bar is one of the two mainstream currencies in the world. It is mainly circulated among low-level monks. The exchange ratio with spiritual stones, which are high-end currencies, is one hundred to one.

The gold bars in the wooden box were much larger than the small yellow croakers from the Republic of China that Gao Yuan remembered, and were about the same size as Gao Yuan's little finger.

Gao Yuan made a rough estimate based on the visual volume. The size of this gold bar should be about 120 grams.

Calculated in this way, this box of small yellow croakers alone weighs more than 20 kilograms. No wonder Budou feels heavy in his hands.

He picked up a small yellow croaker and stroked its smooth surface while thinking about the way forward.

The four major survival needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation are not considered for the time being. Clothing and housing are just fine for now. The only problem that has not yet been solved is the problem of food.

But with this box of small yellow croakers, it shouldn't be difficult to go shopping in the market after dawn.

Compared with these, the most important thing is to improve your strength.

The talent of this body can only be said to be average. It is obviously unrealistic to improve the strength in a short time through practice. After thinking about it, I still have to settle on the system.

Well, I'll go to the market early tomorrow morning to buy food, and when I get back, I'll have to think about hunting monsters.



The sky is slightly bright.

Blocked by Qingyuan Mountain, the sun has not yet emerged.

The thin sunlight reflected on the earth through the clouds, making the entire shantytown look a little dim.

Gao Yuan stood in front of the newly built wooden platform and moved his body on the spot.

He didn't sleep all night. All kinds of positive and negative emotions kept erupting in his mind, making his spirit enter an inexplicable state of excitement.

Fortunately, the practitioner's physique was good after all, and he didn't feel very tired after not sleeping all night.

Gao Yuan took out twenty small yellow croakers from the wooden box and put them in his arms. Gao Yuan carefully wrapped the wooden box containing the remaining gold bars and a few books in a cloth bag and tied them to his chest.

Then he adjusted the three kinds of talismans hidden in the secret pocket on his waist to the most convenient position. He retracted his left hand in his sleeve and clasped the purple gold ring tightly, and stood still at the door.

After taking a few deep breaths, Gao Yuan slowly opened the wooden door.

The cool morning air blew over, bringing a different kind of freshness and blowing away some of the darkness in his heart.

He tried his best to stabilize his emotions, walked out of the shack, and looked around with a "calm" expression.

Perhaps because they haven't even had time to go out yet, the shanty towns in the morning were much busier than they were at noon yesterday.

Not only were the doors of several surrounding shacks open, people were coming in and out from time to time, but there were also pedestrians walking on the road.

When these people saw Gao Yuan standing in front of the door, they all cast slightly surprised looks.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Gao Yuan felt that the coldness in these glances was much lighter than yesterday.

These passers-by were all dressed similarly to him, carrying packages of varying sizes, and one skinny old man even carried a large pot on his back.

The logic behind this strange shape is not surprising. After all, in shantytowns where robberies often occur, shantytowns where the owner is not at home are basically undefended.

If you don’t carry valuable items with you, it is inevitable that they will be taken away.

A "squeak" sound,

The door of a shed diagonally opposite to Gaoyuan's right opened, and a middle-aged Taoist nun walked out of the door with a basin in her hands. She skillfully turned her body and poured the water in the basin into the open space in front of the door.

When he turned around, he saw Gao Yuan sizing him up. Not only was the middle-aged Taoist nun not annoyed, she even gave him a wink that she thought was charming.

Damn it!

Gao Yuan suddenly felt that he couldn't bear it and quickly looked away.

Walking on the dark dirt road in the shanty town, maintaining a loose-on-the-outside and tight-on-the-inside state, Gao Yuan carefully guarded against everyone who entered within ten meters of him, and walked all the way towards the gate of Qingyuan Town.

The market should be open!
