Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons
Chapter 154 A cheating inn, extra money
"These things are also left to you. If you are short of money in the future, you can sell them in Canghe County. However, I hope you will not rely too much on these. I hope you can use the things I teach you in exchange for what you want. What you want!”
What Gu Sheng was referring to, of course, was that he taught Gu Wan the skills and experience of hunting in the mountains.
After Gu Sheng explained everything to Gu Wan one by one, he carried his own specially made wooden box and left the small courtyard where he had lived for many years.
In order to make the journey easier, Gu Sheng only brought the detachable blood-thirsty giant axe, and he left the Hundred-Refined Heavy Armor with Gu Wan.
When they reached the entrance of the village, Gu Dajiang was already waiting here.
"Asheng."
Gu Dajiang looked at Gu Sheng with complicated eyes and was speechless.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly and patted Gu Dajiang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Uncle Dajiang, I'm still young. It's a good thing to be able to go out and have a try, just like Xiao Jiang. You should be happy for me."
As he spoke, Gu Sheng took out another fifty-tael silver note and handed it to Gu Dajiang: "Uncle Dajiang, please help me buy a new one for my small courtyard and give it to Gu Erniu's family. This matter will trouble you a lot." Take the trouble.”
Although Gu Sheng's father originally bought the small courtyard many years ago, he is now driven out by the clan elders. The small courtyard in Gujiazhuang is likely to be taken back, so that his secret room and the things he left for Gu Wan will not be discovered. He could only ask Gu Dajiang to handle this matter.
I think it's just a small shabby courtyard, so with Gu Dajiang coming forward, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Gu Dajiang pulled out the horse behind him and put the horse rope into Gu Sheng's hand.
"A Sheng, the clan elder is of great significance to Gujiazhuang. He has a great say. It is difficult for my uncle to have a say in the clan. Just don't blame your uncle in the future. I don't have anything to give you. I will give you this good horse as a legwork. Bar!"
It is a thousand miles from Gujiazhuang to Chiyun Mansion. If there are no horses to travel, Gu Sheng will have to walk for seven or eight days. If there are horses, this time can be reduced to three days.
Gu Sheng did not refuse, and got on the horse. After a brief farewell to Gu Dajiang, Gu Sheng set foot on the road in the direction of Chiyun Mansion.
Walking on the smooth official road, the golden light of the rising sun sprinkled on the road. Gu Sheng was riding a horse and carrying a wooden box as he walked on it. Suddenly, a unique sense of pride arose in his heart.
The official road leading to Chiyun Mansion is very long. Except for a few counties that it passes through, most of it is in the barren mountains and wild ridges. It is fine during the day. At night, the beasts in the mountains may come out to look for food, and there are many powerful ones among them. The demon blood beast.
Although Gu Sheng is already a master of the Bronze Bone Realm and is invincible in Canghe County, he does not think that he is invincible. The closer he gets to Chiyun Mansion, the stronger the strength of both beasts and humans becomes.
Gu Sheng also met many people and caravans along the way.
The strength of these people is very strong. Among them, people in the realm of blood refining and perfection can be seen everywhere. Even people in the bronze bone realm. Gu Sheng saw no less than ten people in this short day!
The sun was setting in the west and the sky was getting dark. For safety reasons, Gu Sheng did not spend the night in the wild, but came to the inn on the official road to stay overnight.
The official road post station was built by the Daliang court. At first, it was mainly used by the court to transmit information and intelligence. Later, with the advent of troubled times, the post station in various places also became a means for local officials to make money. Gradually, the post station also became an inn on the official road. As long as You can stay and eat there if you pay.
The Guandao Inn is different from ordinary inns. Because it was first used for military purposes, it was built to very high standards, with very strong walls. It is also equipped with guards and military-specific defense weapons. It has a strong defense force. Many people choose to spend some money to stay overnight at the inn.
When Gu Sheng arrived at the inn, the place was already bustling with people, and the lobby was full of people eating and drinking.
After Gu Sheng found a small table in the corner and sat down, a waiter came over with a plate.
"Sir, do you want to eat or stay overnight?"
As he spoke, the boy took out a special wooden board and handed it to Gu Sheng.
The dishes and prices are written on the board, as well as the accommodation prices for different rooms.
When Gu Sheng took the wooden board, he discovered that the boy turned out to be a warrior in the jade skin realm. You must know that warriors in the jade skin realm are already considered high-end combat power in the Gu family village, and even in Canghe Mansion, they are considered good. With the cultivation of the jade skin realm, they can make a good salary no matter which family they go to. However, in It turned out to be just a handyman here.
Gu Sheng held the wooden sign and pretended to choose the dishes, secretly releasing his senses.
At the counter in the lobby, there was a beautiful young woman with provocative clothes and perky breasts who was calculating accounts with an abacus. When Gu Sheng's perception fell on her, he couldn't move away. This was not because of the young woman's beauty. And her eye-catching hot figure was mainly because her aura was so deep that it gave Gu Sheng a strong sense of oppression!
"Is he a master of Silver Bone Realm?"
Gu Sheng couldn't help but look at the beautiful young woman a few more times, secretly guessing in his mind.
The boy couldn't help but laugh when he saw Gu Sheng's actions: "Brother, you have to pay attention. Although our landlady is as beautiful as a flower, she has a fierce temper! Just peek in secret, what will happen to a person like you who is so fair and honest?" But it’s not very good.”
Hearing this, Gu Sheng's face suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He asked in a low voice, "Brother, the boss lady is so beautiful and dares to station in this wilderness. Aren't you afraid of some evildoers who take advantage of her?"
The young man couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Then you underestimate our boss's wife too much! She is not a flower vase, our boss's wife is a genuine master of the Silver Bone Realm. Besides, who often walks on this road doesn't know that our boss He holds an important position in Chiyun Mansion, and anyone who dares to mess around might be an old man who eats arsenic and thinks his life is too long!"
When Gu Sheng heard this, he secretly recorded the news in his mind, ordered a few side dishes, booked a most ordinary guest room, and sent the boy away.
I have to say that this inn is very safe, but the fees are a bit too expensive!
Gu Sheng ordered three dishes in total, two meat and one vegetarian. The dishes are not unusual, they are roast chicken, soy sauce beef and stir-fried vegetables. These three dishes would not even cost one tael of silver in Canghe County, but here they cost him a full 20 taels! If the food is like this, the rooms are even more expensive. The most common one that Gu Sheng wants is the lowest price, which costs 30 taels a night. On top of this, there are three grades of A, B and C. Among them, the price of a first-class room is as high as One hundred and eighty taels!
This price, let alone an overnight stay, can almost buy a small courtyard in the fringe area of Canghe County. I don't know what is so mysterious about this first-class room that it costs so much.
A quarter of an hour later, the waiter brought out all the dishes Gu Sheng ordered. Gu Sheng almost vomited after taking a bite.
I have to say that the food in this place is really expensive and unpalatable, but after seeing that no one around him dared to complain, Gu Sheng also chose to shut up wisely. After all, the waiter had warned him before that this boss lady was not easy to mess with.
While Gu Sheng lowered his head to eat, a man in smart clothes and a knife at his belt hurriedly walked in and put a waist badge on the counter. At the same time, he took out a five hundred dollar bill and put it on the counter.
"Madam boss, please help our Mu's Trading Company temporarily recruit some people here in your name."
The landlady took the banknotes and asked with a smile on her face in a low voice, "Is your huge Mu's Trading Company still short of people? Why, did you find something in Leimu Mountain?"
The people from Mu's Trading Company couldn't help but darken their faces when they heard this: "Boss boss, if you ask like this, you are breaking the rules!" The boss lady covered her mouth when she heard this and laughed: "Haha, I am being rude. Okay, I will ask you now. Ha, but how is the treatment you give me? Tell me so I can make it clear to them."
After understanding this, the landlady suddenly slapped her hand on the counter, making a loud noise.
The movement here instantly attracted everyone's attention, and the originally noisy lobby instantly became silent.
Seeing that she had attracted everyone's attention, the proprietress immediately cleared her throat and said, "Everyone, we have a mission in Leimu Mountain and we still need some manpower. I wonder if you have any ideas to make some extra money along the way?"
The diners were not surprised by this, and some people immediately asked.
"What kind of mission is it? Is it dangerous? How is the reward calculated?"
Facing the chattering inquiries, the landlady smiled slightly and explained: "This mission is a simple escort mission. The risk is not high, but the reward is very good. A perfect day at the Blood Refining Realm is five hundred taels, and a day at the Copper Bone Realm is One thousand taels! How about it, is there anyone willing?"
This remuneration is indeed very generous, and even Gu Sheng is a little tempted.
Anyway, he was not in a hurry to go to Chiyun Mansion. He would not let go of the opportunity to make money and see the world on the road.
After seeing several people signing up one after another, Gu Sheng also came to the counter to sign up.
"Boss lady, count me in."
Gu Sheng still had a childish look on his face, and the proprietress and people from Mu's Trading Company were a little surprised when they saw Gu Sheng.
The people from Mu's Trading Company even frowned and said, "Why are you, a little kid, joining in the fun? Just stay wherever it's cool!"
Because of the Snake Breath Technique, neither of them could sense Gu Sheng's realm without taking the initiative to reveal his cultivation.
Gu Sheng had no choice but to circulate his energy and blood, revealing his perfect cultivation in the blood refining realm.
"Can't it be done even if I meet the conditions?"
Both of them were stunned when they felt the aura of perfect blood refining realm on Gu Sheng's body.
"Which great clan or sect is this genius?"
This idea came to both of them at the same time. The landlady raised her eyebrows and asked, "Which family is the proud young brother? Where are the elders in your family?"
Looking at Gu Sheng's face, the two of them could deduce that Gu Sheng was only seventeen or eighteen years old. A perfect person at the blood refining level at this age was either a genius from the top wealthy family in Chiyun Mansion, or a core disciple of two sects and three sects. This kind of person is walking outside There will definitely be elders accompanying him. The boss lady obviously wants to make friends with the people behind Gu Sheng by asking this.
Unfortunately, Gu Sheng is not a genius from a wealthy family or sect.
Gu Sheng shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm just a kid from a small place. If I really am a descendant of a rich family, why would I need to make this money?"
The proprietress and the people from Mu's Trading Company heard this and thought it made sense.
"Okay! I'll count you alone, meet at the door tomorrow morning!"
The people from Mu's Trading Company looked at Gu Sheng for a long time and then immediately made a decision.
After eating, Gu Sheng was led by the waiter to his guest room.
The guest room is very small, only two or three square meters, with nothing else except a bed, not even a teapot. I have to say that the inn has figured out this business! Fortunately, Gu Sheng was not a delicate person. After sleeping for a night, he gathered at the door of the inn early the next morning.
The boss's wife did not show up today, and the leader was the person from Mu's Trading Company yesterday.
At this time, there were twelve people gathered at the door of the inn, including Gu Sheng. Except for three of them, the others were in the realm of bronze bones and the rest were in the perfect blood refining realm.
The person from Mu's Trading Company glanced at everyone and then a Bronze Bone Realm aura was released from him.
Although they were both in the Bronze Bone Realm, his aura put a lot of pressure on the three people he recruited.
Because Gu Sheng has practiced three kinds of body training martial arts, his body has been polished to perfection, and his strength is far beyond his level. The people from Mu's Trading Company have not had any influence on him, but for acting, he still has to do a full set of That's all. Gu Sheng also pretended to look ugly and look short.
After seeing the changes in everyone, the people from Mu's Trading Company raised their mouths slightly, with a hint of pride in their eyes.
"My name is Mu Qinghe, and I am the leader of this mission. Just remember, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't see what you shouldn't see! You will be rewarded when the job is completed!"
Some veterans had some guesses about his identity when they heard his name, but they were wise enough not to reveal it.
In particular, the three Bronze Bone Realm people frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. They knew very well the status of Mu's Trading Company in Chiyun Mansion. If he had reported his family status yesterday, he would definitely attract more Bronze Bone Realm people to join him. However, he did not Instead of doing this, he recruited people in the name of the hostess of the inn. Are there any twists and turns in this?
Gu Sheng didn't know much about Mu's Trading Company, so he didn't have these concerns. He just regarded this mission as an opportunity to make extra money and see the world.
After a brief explanation, Mu Qinghe led the team towards the mountains beside the official road.
On the way, Gu Sheng took the opportunity to chat with his companions and obtain information.
From the conversation, he learned that the mountains they are currently on are collectively called Leimu Mountain. The reason why they are called Leimu Mountain is because the terrain here is special. Thunder will fall when it rains. If things go on like this, the trees that can survive here will Changes gradually occurred, and the trees actually contained weak power of thunder and lightning, hence the name Leimu Mountain.
Of course, the power of thunder and lightning in most trees is very weak. The specific manifestation is that after being ignited, it will explode like a firecracker. However, there are exceptions. Due to the special geographical environment in Leimu Mountain, two special materials will be born. One is a weapon refining material called iron thunder wood, and the other is a medicinal material called thunder fruit.
Gu Sheng learned from his companions that these two materials were very special and very expensive. Each of them was worth more than 200,000 taels and was a hot commodity among major sects and wealthy families. They guessed that this time The mission is probably to escort Iron Thunder Wood or Thunder Fruit.
Gu Sheng is very curious about these two expensive materials. Judging from the price, if they are successfully refined, they will definitely be good things that can be graded. (End of chapter)
