Chapter 22 Missed
At this time, Li Yaner poked her head out from the collar,
"Huh... Eleven was so scary just now. I felt like something was pressing heavily on me, making me feel uncomfortable all over. I felt like my soul was about to escape from my body..."

Gu Shiyi smiled bitterly and said,
"Perhaps we got too close just now to watch the fun, and the man noticed it. He glanced at me before leaving. It's okay for me to be a mortal, but you are possessed by a soul and naturally you can't stand his pressure. But fortunately he is not hostile to us..."

But even so, just one glance almost made Yan'er lose her mind and made her feel like she was being seen through from the inside out. It was really terrifying!

Li Yaner was still frightened and exclaimed,
"It's just a look...it's really amazing. Is this...a cultivator in your world?"

In the past, I only heard a lot from Shi Yi, but tonight Li Yaner saw for the first time the battle between cultivators, and the indescribable invisible pressure of cultivators. This was something that could only be described in novels in the world she came from. You can see it inside!
Li Yaner sighed, but Gu Shiyi was worried that someone would find her.

"Now I understand why Master was so angry because I touched the Tongxuan Mirror. Those five people couldn't possibly be just the first group..."

When he thought that there would be cultivators like this coming to look for him one after another in the future, Gu Shiyi felt a whoosh of cold air coming up from the soles of his feet, and he suddenly sneezed as he thought about it.
"Ah... Chirp..."

Gu Shiyi folded his shoulders, tugged at the wet clothes on his body, and thought to himself,
"We have to go back and change clothes quickly..."

While there is still some time before dawn, it would be wise to sleep for a while, then take the female ghost's seal to get the money, and then take a boat and run away quickly!
This time, he was busy taking Li Yan'er back. The two returned to the inn, woke up the reluctant second brother, and asked for a large bucket of hot water. Gu Shiyi took a comfortable hot bath and waited for her to wipe it off. When I came out with my hair down, I slapped my thigh when I saw the empty table.
"Oops! I forgot about the king!"

So with disheveled hair, he went to the pier to look for the sapling in a hurry. When he got to the end of the field, he saw that the sapling had been thrown on the ground, and the mud was all over the ground, but the newly bought clay pot was missing. The king saw Gu Shiyi burst into tears immediately.
"Gu Shiyi, Gu Shiyi, you...why did you come just now...wow wow wow...why did you just come now!"

Its shrill and fierce voice could be heard far away in the dark night. Gu Shiyi was so frightened that he rushed towards it, grabbed it, pulled off his clothes and stuffed it into his arms.
"You want to die, keep your voice down!"

"Ohh Ohh ohh……"

The king also knew not to make any noise, so he cried quietly in her arms. Gu Shiyi carried it and secretly returned to the inn. He entered the room and closed the door before taking it out and placing it on the table.
"Gu Shiyi... you... why did you just leave me there and ignore me..."

The king came back and cried all the way. He was tired of crying, and now he started to complain. Gu Shiyi laughed dryly,
"It didn't happen so suddenly that I was so confused that I forgot about you for a moment. Are you... okay?"

The King's Qi Road,

"Are you okay? You left me alone, but behind you there are cultivators fighting in the air. They are filled with evil spirits and sword spirits. It scares me so much that I want to jump into the river..."

The king is also a spirit and monster, and he is equally sensitive to this kind of thing. He will naturally be afraid when he feels the pressure!
"This... this is not the scariest thing... I don't know where an old woman came from behind. She... she saw me... she pulled me out, threw me on the ground, and took away my jar... Wuwuwu..."

The king was very sad. Although it was a clay jar, it was new and intact. The woman actually shook the mud inside and took it away!
"Woooooooo..."

When it cried, Gu Shiyi broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly comforted it and said,

"Nothing, nothing. If the old one doesn't go and the new one doesn't come, I'll buy you a new one tomorrow. We'll buy porcelain, white porcelain..."

"Woooooooooooooo... I... I want something with colors on it..."

"Okay, okay... let's buy colorful ones!"

After finally appeasing the king, it was already dawn. Gu Shiyi looked at the sky outside.
"Okay...there's no need to sleep. Let's go get the money first!"

So he took the ruby ​​ring and went out, and found a money shop on the main street. The man in the money shop took a look at the ring, took out a notebook, checked it out, and said,

"Sir, you have deposited 450 six taels of silver in our store. How much do you want to withdraw?"

"Give me 450 taels of silver notes and [-] taels of broken silver..."

Gu Shiyi pawned the ruby ​​ring again for 80 taels of silver. After taking the silver, he went out and turned left to buy a porcelain jar at the market. After walking a few steps, he saw a commotion on the street, and passers-by ducked out of the way. On both sides, Gu Shiyi was also pushed to the side of the road, and groups of officers and soldiers rode by on horseback.
"What happened?"

Someone was asking, and someone who came from the front said,
"I heard that a big shot came and the government wanted to clean the streets and sprinkle water on them..."

"Really, what kind of big shot?"

"I don't know...but I heard that the pier will be closed soon, and the boat will not be allowed to sail until people leave!"

It’s not like the people of Xuancheng have never seen this kind of thing before. Either the royal relatives or the dignitaries in charge of one party came here.

"Are the piers going to be closed?"

Gu Shiyi was shocked,
"No, who knows when that big shot will leave. If I keep hanging on, it will be more dangerous for me to stay here for one more day!"

Thinking of this, he turned around and ran to the inn. When he returned to the inn, he remembered that he had not bought the things he wanted to buy. When he turned around, he saw an earthen jar with a corner missing lying in the corner of the backyard. He went over and took it away.
"Swallow! Swallow!"

Gu Shiyi called for someone as soon as he entered. The clay figurine and the king were talking in front of the window. Seeing her coming back in a hurry,

"Eleven, do you have the silver?"

Gu Shi nodded and said while packing his things,

"Let's leave quickly. A big shot has come to Xuancheng City, saying they want to seal the pier. If we don't leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave!"

Gu Shiyi grabbed the king and stuffed it into the jar. The king was furious.
"Didn't you say it's colorful? Why did you get a broken earthenware jar to fool me?"

Gu Shiyi kept his hands on his hands and said,
"There is nothing we can do. If urgent matters arise, we will take a boat to the Twin Holy Cities. The market there is bigger and the things are better. I will buy you a better one when we get there!"

When the king heard this, he was no longer angry.

"You can count on what you say?"

"Count it! Count it! Let's go!"

Gu Shiyi led them out of the house in a hurry and drove to the pier. As expected, people from the government were already on the pier. It was just that the merchants were busy negotiating with the people from the government and wanted to be lenient so that they could put the ship on board. cargo is unloaded.Gu Shiyi looked around on the pier and picked out a medium-sized merchant ship. When he went over to ask, he saw that the ship owner was about to leave the pier. The owner of the ship heard that Gu Shiyi was going to the Twin Holy Cities. He looked at her carriage and thought, After thinking about it,

"Your carriage occupies a lot of space, and the horses have to be fed for you. Please pay 20 taels of silver!"

"20 taels!"

Gu Shiyi exclaimed,
"So expensive!"

Why don't you go grab it!
Ordinary travelers can get at most two taels of silver by boat to the Twin Holy Cities, but how come it costs ten times as much to get here?

What is this if not robbery?
The captain responded,

"This is also because the government has closed the dock today. My ship is in a hurry to return to the Twin Holy Cities so it doesn't load much cargo. If it were on weekdays, even if you pay 40 taels, I would not want to ride on your carriage..."

The ship owner was right. The place where the carriage was kept was used to store goods, and a trip would cost more than 20 taels!

Gu Shiyi gritted his teeth.

"That's all, 20 taels is 20 taels!"

Get out of here first!

Fortunately, he made a small fortune, otherwise Gu Shiyi would have died of pain!
So the driver got on the boat and untied the old horse to give him water and food. Since he followed Gu Shiyi, the old horse has been eating well, sleeping well and moving less. It has actually gained some fat and its hair has become smoother. , he looks a lot more energetic than before, and doesn’t look like he’s going to fall to the ground at any moment!

After Gu Shiyi finished serving Lao Ma, he went to his cabin. The cabin was small and low, with only a boat. He could only turn around when entering. However, Gu Shiyi was already very satisfied.
"Anyway, I eat and sleep alone. It costs money to live in a big house!"

When Gu Shiyi was looking around, he felt the hull of the ship vibrate. The merchant ship left the dock and sailed into the river, heading towards the Twin Holy Cities. Gu Shiyi stood on the deck and saw that the dock had been sealed off by the government. , she breathed a sigh of relief,

"Fortunately...I finally came out before the dock was closed..."

But she didn't know that as soon as she left Xuancheng, the north gate of Xuancheng opened wide to welcome a motorcade. The Xuancheng garrison stood in front of the city gate to greet them. When they saw the carriage stopped in front of them, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"National Division!"

The Xuancheng garrison bowed his hands and bowed his head. On the luxuriously decorated cart, an old and soft voice came from the drooping tent,

"Welcome to you from the labor force, Lord Guard, you are so polite!"

"Where! Where! Imperial Master, the palace post in the city has been prepared. Please invite the Imperial Master to come into the city to speak!"

"it is good!"

The garrison leader went over to get on his horse and lead the way. The convoy followed and drove slowly into Xuancheng. In the carriage, a thin old man wore a Taoist robe and had three long beards under his chin. Sitting next to him was a young man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. The man spoke softly to the old man. road,

"Master, is the ninth master's uncle really near Xuancheng?"

The old man nodded,
"Not long ago, I sensed that the location of Tongxuan Mingjing is nearby. It just so happens that the place where your girl disappeared is also near Xuancheng. It's convenient... we can search nearby!"

Speaking of his long-lost sister, the young man looked worried.
"My sister was returning to Ducheng to visit her relatives and lost track of her on the way. The accompanying girl and bodyguard also disappeared at the same time. The family only received a jade slip to call the police. If it weren't for my sister's natal jade plaque, which was only dim and not really broken, the elders in the family We all suspect that she is no longer alive!"

The old man stroked his beard and nodded, saying,
"Even if he is not dead, he will definitely be found. This time you brought the three-eyed eagle raised at home. I think you will be able to find him!"

"Then I'll leave it to Master to give you good advice..."

The young man said hurriedly again,

"But the matters of the master's sect are still important. Let's deal with the major matters of the sect first!"

The old man smiled and said,
"It doesn't matter. The reason why I traveled in such a big way this time is to get help from the Yue government. When I entered the city, I explained to the Xuancheng garrison and asked him to mobilize his manpower to search for us, and to supplement it with the help of the three-eyed eagle, two pieces Everything can be done!”

The young man frowned,
"Master, no matter how numerous these people are, they are all mortals. How long will it take them to find them?"

The old man smiled and said,
"Mortals have their own uses. You will know it later..."

"Master said..."

The young man nodded and asked again,
"Master, if I don't understand something, please ask the master for advice!"

The old man said,

"Just ask..."

The young man said,

"Even if Master said that the Tongxuan Mirror is the most precious treasure of the Immortal Family, how could it be kept by our sect for so many years? Our sect... our sect is not a cultivation sect. Why haven't those big cultivation sects come to snatch it away earlier?"

The old man smiled slightly when he heard this, thought for a moment and said,

"This starts with the founding of our sect. It is said that there are many magic weapons left over from the Great War in this world, such as the Taiyi Divine Sword of Tianyi Sect, the Chaos Bowl of Zhengyuan Sect, or the Liuxian Sect. The fairy skirts were all scattered and lost in this world after the war between the immortals. They were found by other cultivators accidentally or intentionally, but our Tongxuan Mirror is a little different. It belonged to a fairy back then. , after being lost during the war, the descendant of the fairy is the founder of our Tongxuan sect. He searched in this world for many years before he found the relics of his ancestors. However, the ancestor did not inherit the fairy's physique, and he had no spirit. He was unable to practice the Immortal Kung Fu. Later, he joined the secular Taoist sect and wanted to rely on the Taoist sect's mysterious method to penetrate the world without spiritual roots. Unfortunately, he was over [-] years old and was unable to achieve his wish. However, the founder was also a great wise man. Although the man of great wisdom failed to enter the realm of cultivation, he was able to figure out a way to activate the spiritual mirror without using spiritual roots. Before his death, he entrusted his own essence and blood in the mirror. And before his death, he issued a curse that non-disciples of our sect cannot touch this mirror. If anyone forcibly activates the mirror, the mirror will explode..."

The man raised his eyebrows when he heard this, moved his lips, but said nothing. The old man continued,
"The curse cast by the Patriarch with his immortal cultivation is naturally no small matter. The self-explosion power of an immortal magic weapon can destroy hundreds of miles in a radius. After so many years, sects such as Tianyi Sect and Zhengyuan Sect who know the inside story have also sent People asked about the whereabouts of this mirror, but no one dared to act rashly, but those sects who didn’t know the details sent out manpower everywhere to look for it..."

The man was very surprised when he heard this.
"Then why doesn't Master explain this matter to each sect?"
