In the retreat room, Gu Cheng began to enter a state of retreat on the first day of becoming the night watchman.Meng Hantang asked people to bring back the Yunling Pill sent down and the things that someone wanted to exchange after walking for five days.Gu Cheng didn't exchange things, 140 merit points is still a little little for him, and now he doesn't lack the means to fight, it is better to wait for the merit points to accumulate a certain number of merits and exchange them for some good things.After taking the Yunling Pill in his hand, Gu Cheng carefully observed it, a bottle of ten, the packaging was shabby, there was no taste, as for the appearance, it looked like Mai Lisu.However, although this thing was a little shabby, it was extremely precious to low-level cultivators.One is because Da Qianming prohibits the trade of cultivation pills.The second reason is that it is not so simple to refine the elixir.Yun Ling Pill is only one of the most basic cultivation pills, but even if it is, it requires dozens of materials, plus an orthodox Dao background, and an experienced alchemist can refine it.If ordinary casual cultivators want to learn alchemy, just the waste materials used to lay the foundation for you are sky-high.Therefore, generally only the imperial court or some big factions are qualified to cultivate alchemists.And the pills used for cultivation are basically priceless, and even if they do, they are sky-high in the black market, but this is still in short supply.Gu Cheng swallowed a spirit pill, subconsciously chewed it, and suddenly a bitter feeling poured into his mouth.It's no wonder that almost all pills are swallowed, and the unpalatable is probably also a reason.However, as the pill entered his body, while Gu Cheng digested the pill with his strength, a powerful flow of heat immediately surged towards his body, instantly making the flow speed of the qi in Gu Cheng's body skyrocket more than ten times.The medicinal strength of an elixir lasted for nearly an hour before dissipating, and at the same time, Gu Cheng was hidden in the yin veins, and the acquired qi belonging to the qi refiner also increased partially.It took Gu Cheng two days to completely digest these two bottles of pills, but the enhancement he had gained from his own cultivation was more than a month.If there are two more bottles of such elixir, I am afraid that Gu Cheng will soon be able to enter the middle stage of the eighth grade.After refining the elixir, Gu Cheng did not continue to choose to retreat and cultivate, but went out to read books.Regarding Luo Jiao this time, Gu Cheng felt that his understanding of this river and lake seemed to be too little, and he didn't even know a lot of common sense.Before, Gu Cheng felt that the rivers and lakes were far away from him, and it wasn't until the appearance of these people in Luojiao that Gu Cheng knew that he was actually in the rivers and lakes for a long time.So before Meng Hantang left, Gu Cheng still asked Meng Hantang to help him bring back some books about common knowledge of the rivers and lakes.Otherwise, he is now a member of the Jingye Division, but he can't even distinguish the difference between the Luo Sect, the White Lotus Sect and the Maitreya Sect, which would be too much of a failure.For the next few days, Gu Cheng was reading books in the Jingye Division.Although the books that Meng Hantang found for him only roughly described the current sects, power branches, customs and customs on the rivers and lakes, etc., they also made Gu Cheng have a lot of gains.However, the most intuitive thing is that the Jing Ye Division, or the entire Daqian, does not seem to be as powerful as Gu Cheng imagined.Five hundred years ago, the Great Cadre swept the world, and when the country was just founded, it was the most majestic time of the Jingye Division, whether it was ghosts and monsters, they were suppressed and did not dare to rise, so they could only shrink in the deep mountains and old forests.Those Jianghu sects, the cultivation families are even more honest, the peddlers and pawns must abide by the laws of the imperial court, and the cultivators must abide by the rules of the Jingye Division.But five hundred years later, except for the central part of Daqian, that is, the area of the county in the east where Gu Cheng is located and some of the surrounding county capitals is relatively peaceful, the west, north and south are not peaceful.Specifically, the book didn't say it, probably because this book was published by the Jing Ye Division, so all the content that insulted the majesty of the great cadres was deleted.However, some of the content is also more interesting, such as the leader of the Luo Sect of the generation who created the Great Handling Technique, known as the 'Zuo Zhenjun' Zuo Yunzhi who is the reincarnation of the immortal god.Regarding cultivation, Gu Cheng didn't have a special person to teach, Tie Tianying had taught him some, and Meng Hantang had also taught him some.Therefore, as for how to practice and what kind of path he should take, he can only rely on Gu Cheng to think about it and grope for it by himself.Meng Hantang told him that there is no strongest exercise, only the strongest person.In the past, the martial saint Pei Fei was able to use the beginner's Little King Kong Demon Fist to defeat many high-ranking monks of the Great Weide King Kong Temple in a row, and Zuo Yunzhi was also able to turn the handling technique used to pretend to be a god and ghost into a large handling technique to move mountains and reclaim the sea.Practicing together, the key to exercises, the key to pills, and the secret treasures of weapons are also key, but the most important thing is still people, or themselves, and they can't abandon their roots.Putting down the book, Gu Cheng came to Meng Hantang's study and looked at the various messages sent by the catch below.Some of these messages are suspected to be demons and ghosts, but some of them are purely chasing after the wind, so Meng Hantang needs to distinguish whether to send someone over to check on it.Now that Meng Hantang is not here, these things have to be handled by Gu Cheng.Meng Hantang, the night watchman, is actually not very easy, but that is also because he is too serious and rigid.If other night watchmen encounter this kind of news, they won't even read it, and they don't even see the appearance of demons and ghosts, so why do they report it?
Even the capital side is even more excessive, as long as no one is killed, the Xuanjia Guard of the Jingye Division will not come to check at all.It's like when Gu Cheng was assassinated, it was also because Tie Tianying had a relationship with the Gu family, so he came.flipped through those news, anyway, judging from Gu Cheng's pitiful experience, it was indeed a lot of chasing after the wind.You don't even need experience, as long as you analyze it simply, you can see that most of the news is reported by those people who are suspicious.At this moment, Xiao Yi suddenly knocked on the door and came in and said, "Brother Gu, there are documents sent from Heyang Mansion." ”"Paperwork from Ha Duong Mansion?
Is the adult coming back?
”Xiao Yi took out the document and handed it to Gu Cheng, shook his head and said, "No, it seems to be an order." ”Gu Cheng took out the document and looked at it, it was indeed an appointment.There are fourteen counties in Ha Duong Province, but only eight of them have night patrol envoys from the Jing Ye Division, and the remaining six counties are all remote or have very few people, so it is not worth establishing a stronghold.Once something happens in a county like this, it can only be reported to the state capital by the county order, and then the state government will order it to dispatch the Jingye Division of other counties to solve the problem.The place where the problem occurred this time was a Donglin County that was not guarded by the Jingye Division, a remote county town in a ravine, and Luo County was the closest to Donglin County, so this task fell on their heads.The document said that in Donglin County recently, people often heard the sound of silk and bamboo music coming from the General Mountain at night, like getting married and like a funeral.But Donglin County is surrounded by mountains, and Jiangjun Mountain is only an uninhabited barren mountain, and there is absolutely no one to get married and buried.A famous hunter once went up the mountain at night, but the man disappeared.Later, two waves of people went up the mountain to look for them, but they were all gone.The disappearance of these people completely frightened the people of Donglin County, and the county order directly ordered a curfew and asked for help from the Jingye Division.Because I haven't seen the real body of the demon, but I can't see anyone alive or dead, it's a little weird, so the order issued by the state capital is not to solve the problem of Donglin County, but to investigate.The document was written in detail, suggesting that the Jingye Division of Luo County should send six to eight people to Donglin County to investigate the situation, and if it could be solved, then it would be solved on the spot.If it is beyond its means, immediately retreat and inform the state capital.Gu Cheng thought about it, called all the Xuanjia guards in the Jingye Division of Luo County, told them the contents of the paperwork, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, this is an order issued by the state government, so I am going to go in person."
Xiao Yi and I are in a group, and Brother Zhao and Brother Wang are experienced and can also come together.There are two groups left, who has what they want to go to?
”After all, Gu Cheng is a night patrol envoy, except for being more familiar with Zhao Jingming and Wang Qi, it is not good for others to give orders directly, just let them choose by themselves.Unexpectedly, these people in the Jingye Division of Luo County were still very enthusiastic, and nearly half of them wanted to go.Maybe it has something to do with Meng Hantang's character, there are very few people under him who just want to mess around, even if Zhao Jingming is just a little slippery for people, but he is not slippery.The appointing document personally issued by the state government will dispatch four groups of Xuanjia guards at once, although there is a certain danger, but there are also a lot of merit points afterwards.In the end, Gu Cheng chose and picked out four people to go to Donglin County together.One group is Fang Ping and Qi Zhou.Fang Pingnai was a young man in his twenties, who, like Xiao Yi, was a Nine Realm Qi Refiner who was the main Qi cultivator, and had previously participated in the siege of the Naluo Sect traitors.Qi Zhou is a middle-aged man who is nearly fifty years old, almost the oldest Xuanjiawei in the Jingye Division of Luo County, although his talent is limited, and his strength is not as good as Zhao Jingming and others, but he is experienced and well-informed.Considering that this time it was the most likely to encounter ghosts, Gu Cheng chose such a group of Qi Refiners and Xuanjia Guards with old qualifications.The remaining group of Li Chengping and Bai Chuan are both elite Xuanjiawei in their thirties, and their strength is also superior in the Jingye Division of Luoxian County.After selecting the manpower, Gu Cheng and the others did not delay and went straight to Donglin County.
