C33 Strange Flower and Strange Grass Pavilion
"Bao, there's no need to mention about the sword anymore. I can feel that the man has no ill intentions towards me. "
That person could even seal Xiao Yue, and his strength was about the same as Tongtian. If that person wanted to harm him, how could he live until now? Although he didn't know what his goal was, judging from the current situation, at least he wasn't in danger. However, the feeling of being controlled by someone made Guxing feel uncomfortable.
"My strength is still not enough. " Guxing gritted his teeth and said.
"If that's the case, Yeh, it's getting late. Why don't we go back to our room and rest?"
After Guxing said that, Bao Hong didn't ask any further questions. This action made Guxing feel much better.
"This Bao is indeed a person worthy of a deep friendship. " Guxing thought to himself.
After bidding farewell to Bao Hong, Guxing went into the room alone and saw Xiao Yue slowly walking out of the darkness.
"Ms Yue!"
For some reason, he did not see Ms Yue all day. Guxing always felt empty in his heart. Now that he saw Xiao Yue coming out, he immediately shouted excitedly.
"Silly, do you miss your elder sister?"
Xiao Yue playfully blinked her eyes and said, "Big Sister is bored inside. "
"Actually, Ms Yue, you don't have to be like this. "
Guxing sat on the bed and said seriously, "This is just a Border Town. There are no experts here. You just need to be at ease and come out. "
Xiao Yue immediately rolled her eyes at him and said, "There are tigers and leopards hidden deep in the mountains, and Qilin are lying in the fields. It's better to be more cautious. "
"Moreover, I've gotten used to it earlier, so I don't have to get used to it in the future. "
When Guxing heard this, he curled his lips and didn't take it seriously.
Suddenly, Guxing seemed to have thought of something and his body trembled.
"Ms Yue, do you think this jade pendant was also left for me by that person in the past?"
It had to be said that Bao Hong's deduction today had dealt a huge blow to him. A good clue had suddenly been cut off, and the remaining jade pendant had become very suspicious.
Xiao Yue thought about it for a while and said: "I don't think so. Since that person wanted to seal my memory, he didn't want you and I to know his real face. If that's the case, why did he leave behind a jade pendant with clues? Isn't that contradictory?"
After saying that, she saw Guxing's originally dead grey eyes brighten up once again.
"That's right. It must not be him, not him. Haha!"
Xiao Yue looked at him who was like a madman, worrying about personal gains and losses, and a trace of heartache flashed across her eyes.
"Silly, the road ahead of you is destined to be filled with difficulties. The blow you will suffer in the future will definitely not be limited to this extent, you have to hold on. " Xiao Yue muttered in her heart.
The next day, at dawn, Bao Hong came to the door and shouted, "Brother, it's time to get up! We have to leave early. "
Guxing opened his eyes from his cultivation and answered hurriedly. When he came out after washing up, he found that Bao Hong had already prepared breakfast.
Guxing saw that the sky was still early and could not help but ask curiously: "It's only Yin Shi. Why did big brother get up so early?"
Bao Hong smiled when he heard this. "Brother, you might not know this, but you have to get up early to prepare the buns. Brother has been in this business for five years and has long gotten used to it. I'm afraid you won't be able to change it even if you want to. "
Guxing didn't sleep at night. He spent most of his time cultivating, but his spirit wasn't any worse than Bao Hong's.
Bao Hong looked at him in surprise. He took out some snacks from his bag and handed them to Guxing. He said, "I have prepared the horses. They are just outside the door. Brother, eat first. We will leave immediately after we finish eating. We can come back earlier if we leave earlier. "
Guxing nodded and began to eat heartily.
After that, the two of them hurriedly got on the horses. Guxing had never stepped on a horse before. At first, he was still a little rusty, but he quickly got used to it. The two of them rushed towards the south.
"Big brother, there seems to be a city in front of us. "
After walking for about six hours, Guxing suddenly said.
"En, that's the place. Brother, let's go faster!"
"That's it. " In An Yuan City, Bao Hong pointed at a mansion and said.
Guxing fixed his eyes and saw that the mansion in front of him was supported by a total of 18 large red-painted pillars. The door alone was more than 3 meters tall. At this moment, the door was wide open. Looking from the inside, one could see a small path leading into the depths. There were two huge white jade qilin at the door. He was startled and said, "This mansion is really grand!"
"Of course!"
Bao Hong said, "This was originally the City Lord's Mansion, and it was incomparably noble. However, after coming here, this place was renamed as the Eminent Flower Eminent Grass Pavilion. "
"Oh?" Guxing was puzzled and said, "This pavilion has just arrived. How can it have such great power? Even the City Lord has to give him thirty percent of the power?"
Bao Hong said, "There's no way to know about this. I just heard that this organization was founded by a big figure in Chu Kingdom. Therefore, as if they had reached a consensus, the newly appointed city lords went straight to another newly built city lord's mansion. Normally, they wouldn't dare to interfere with the matters here. "
" Then, wouldn't this become a lawless place? "
Bao Hong suddenly smiled. "Little brother, you guessed wrong. In the past hundred years, there have been many people who have caused trouble here. However, in the morning of the next day, all of them turned into corpses without exception. From then on, no one would think that way anymore. "
Guxing suddenly understood. When he looked at this place again, there was a trace of seriousness in his eyes.
"I can sense that this place is very dangerous. You can't talk to me later. " Hearing this, Xiao Yue also carefully made arrangements.
Guxing nodded and asked, "Has big brother been here before?"
"He has been here a few times and can be considered familiar. It's just that he hasn't been here for ten years and I don't know what it's like inside. " After saying that, Bao Hong couldn't be bothered to express his emotions. He immediately led Guxing into the room.
The two of them walked along the small path until the end. Suddenly, a large hall appeared before their eyes.
"This Qi. . . Hmm? Late-stage dive!" Guxing couldn't help but look at the two people who were dressed like martial artists at the entrance.
"They only fell to the point of guarding the door. This place is indeed not to be trifled with. " Guxing thought to himself. At the same time, he strode forward.
"Both of you, please come in. " When the burly man saw Guxing's young appearance, he couldn't see through his cultivation. Furthermore, there was a faint sense of oppression coming from him. Immediately, he bent down. Thank you, said the burly man respectfully.
Guxing responded immediately. Bao Hong who was standing aside couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this scene.
He knew the cultivation base of these two men who were guarding the gate. They were used to being arrogant and proud, and they didn't even put some of them in their eyes. But now, they were so humble. This could only mean that Guxing's cultivation base was even higher than theirs. When he thought of this, he was stunned for a moment. This little brother's age. . .
What a genius! Bao Hong let out a long sigh in his heart, but he could faintly see a trace of pride between his brows. It could be seen that he was sincerely happy for Guxing.
After entering, Guxing was stunned. There were more than a thousand people inside. Among them, 80% of them were dressed like warriors.
"How can there be so many people?" Guxing asked, puzzled.
Bao Hong said, "What's so strange about that? There are a lot of medicinal plants in these strange flowers and plants. Not only can they cure diseases, but they can also increase cultivation base. Most people are here for this. "
"There are so many people here. Even if they find what they want, the price will be ridiculously high. "
Guxing unconsciously touched the banknotes on his body and secretly rejoiced. "Fortunately, I don't need to buy mine. "
Xiao Yue had told Guxing long ago that unsealing the seal wasn't just about finding it, it also needed to be in the place where the flowers and plants grew. Therefore, Guxing had come here to find out where the flowers and plants grew.
The two of them walked around in circles. Along the way, Guxing found that most of the martial artists here were in the potential jump stage, or Nirvana stage. Qi Transformation stage, few were higher than him. He immediately felt relieved.
"Commander Bao!"
An exclamation stopped the two of them. The two of them looked over and saw a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar walking straight towards the two of them.
"Commander Bao, how have you been?" The man walked in front of Bao Hong and cupped his hands, "I'm afraid it has been five years since Commander Bao came, right?"
Bao Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you know how I live? I am already a cripple. What's the use of coming here?"
That man let out a long sigh and said, "Commander Bao was such a hero back then, but now he has fallen into such a situation. The heavens have no eyes for him. "
"Chief is being too serious. This Bao is no longer in the imperial court. It is best not to call me Commander anymore. " Bao Hong cupped his fists at the person who came and said, "To tell you the truth, I am doing this for the sake of the Imperial Court. This little brother of mine has come. "
After saying that, he pulled Guxing over and introduced him, "Yeh, this is the chief steward of this place. Lord Duan Feng, Lord Duan has a high position here. "
Guxing immediately cupped his fists and said, "Lord Duan!"
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. " The middle-aged scholar immediately waved his hand and only then did he have the time to size up Guxing. His heart immediately tightened.
"May I ask how old is little brother this year?" Initially, he only cared about talking, and didn't notice that there was another person beside him. It would be fine if he didn't look, but when he saw this person, he was instantly startled.
Guxing said, "Sixteen. "
That person was stunned. He was already at the late stage of the Blood Charging Realm, yet he could not see through the cultivation of this sixteen year old young man. Doesn't that mean that his cultivation is still above mine? In addition to feeling surprised, he could not help but praise. He said, Sixteen. " This little brother Bao brought here is truly amazing!"
Bao Hong immediately let out a pleasant laugh and said, "How can my brother be so simple?"
"That's how it should be!" Duan Feng said from the bottom of his heart.
Bao Hong said, "To tell you the truth, I came here today because I have a matter to ask of you, my lord. "
"What do you mean my lord is not my lord? My big brother asked me not to call you the commander, so why are you being so courteous?"
The chief steward patted his chest and said: "Yes, I am. Big brother only needs to say what it is. I will do my best. "
"Since that's the case, then I won't beat around the bush anymore. Actually, we're here to find out the whereabouts of One Flower and One Grass "
Bao Hong paused for a moment and asked, "Brother, have you heard of the Zixi Flower and the Jun Zhi Grass?"
"I see. " Duan Feng immediately thought about it carefully before saying, "I've heard of the Zixi Flower. It was a rare flower that grew on the southern mountains. It was said that this flower only bloomed once in its lifetime. Once it blooms, it blooms for a lifetime because it can only be irrigated by a stream when it grows. Therefore, it could only grow by the stream, so it was named the Zixi Flower. However, I don't know about the Jun Zhi Grass. I don't think we have it here either. "
"South?" Bao Hong asked, then asked, "Is it in the direction of the Imperial City?"
"Yes," the Chief replied.
"It seems like I really need to make a trip there. " He tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.
