Chapter 617: Mr. Gu
The fox said,
"It's what I tricked from that white woman earlier..."

In the divination of Yaoguang City, Bai Nu asked the fox to listen to the divination. As a result, the fox used magic to switch the tortoise shell. It had kept it since then and only remembered to take it out now. Pu Yanlan also came to take a closer look. She saw that the tortoise shell was warm in color and there was a faint spiritual light flowing on the surface. She knew it was a good thing at a glance and nodded in praise.

"The cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage really have good things in their hands!"

The fox was very generous when he heard this.
"If it's a good thing, I'll give it to you. Anyway, I can't use it even if I have it!"

Among them, only Pu Yanlan had studied the art of divination, so she said to the fox without hesitation,
"I'll accept it. In a few days, I'll use the giant ant eggs that Eleven brought back and add some herbs to make you a few bottles of elixir for the monster beasts..."

"That's daring!"

The fox was delighted.

Now that she knew the news about Tianyi Sect, Pu Yanlan discussed it with Gu Shiyi.

"Eleven, I want to go see them..."

Although she knew that there were probably not many disciples left in the Tianyi Sect and her two masters were gone, Pu Yanlan still wanted to go and take a look.
"As for the two senior sisters from the Flame Valley and the senior brothers from the Jinyuan Cave... I wonder how they are doing now?"

Mostly they are gone!

Gu Shiyi secretly guessed in his heart, but he also knew that he couldn't say this to Yan'er, so he thought about it and nodded.

"Well, after we return to this continent, there won't be anything serious. We can go to Dumozhou where we used to be. You still remember Mr. Huang Liu, a very righteous man. We can go and see him when we pass by..."

The king and the fox naturally had no objection, so the four of them packed up and set off. The journey from Baimazhou to Dumozhou was long, and Pu Yanlan thought for a while and said,

"Even if the Tianyi Sect and the Alliance have torn their faces apart, in order to avoid being hunted down, they may not dare to travel openly. Maybe they will hide all the way. We can keep an eye out for their news along the way..."

Gu Shiyi suggested upon hearing this.

"If that's the case, why don't we pretend to be mortals and slowly search along the way?"

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and nodded,
"I also want to take this opportunity to study the ancient book on space instruments and think of a way to connect the secret realm with the medicine garden..."

Gu Shi nodded,

"Good good!"

In fact, this matter is the top priority for the two of them. This secret realm and the medicine garden are originally made from the same magical weapon, which was refined by the same weapon refining master. It was just divided into several parts during the war that year. If they can merge the two spaces into one and stabilize the medicine garden space, they can plant large areas of spiritual herbs and medicines in the future, and have an unlimited supply of elixirs. That will no longer be a dream!
When they heard that the two were going to disguise themselves as ordinary people, Lao Ma, Long Hun and the monk Shijie were all tempted. Even the Golden Toad couple had been quiet for a long time and wanted to go out and see the world. Gu Shiyi thought, why not take them all with you? He suddenly transformed himself into a handsome rich second-generation, with his wife, concubine, two sons, a housekeeper, a housekeeper and an accountant, and went on a long journey to visit his wife's parents in Dumo Prefecture. Everyone had no objection to this identity, especially the fox, who was very happy to hear that being a concubine would give him countless beautiful clothes and jewelry to wear. Only the monk refused to be Gu Shiyi's son.
"Amitabha! I am much older than you, the donor. I cannot accept being your son!"

Gu Shiyi glanced at him.

"How about...I call you grandpa?"

Monk Shijie has been in the secret realm for a while now. Although he is no longer a baby, he is still a little kid of about one year old. He still walks unsteadily. If Gu Shiyi calls him grandpa, someone must believe him. Monk Shijie thought for a long time and said aggrievedly.

"Then... I will be the nephew of Mr. Gu!" "Okay..."

Gu Shiyi rolled his eyes. What’s the difference between being a son and being a nephew?

"It's up to you whether you want to call me uncle or uncle, or uncle-in-law or uncle-in-law!"

The Ten Commandments monk thought for a while and said,

"Then call me uncle!"

Well, if you don’t want to be my son, I’d be willing to be Yan’er’s nephew!
Gu Shiyi did not care and just let the female golden toad pretend to be the monk's wet nurse and carry him around the boat. Gu Shiyi asked the golden toad couple,
"Now that you have become human beings, you still need to give yourselves a name. What do you plan to call yourself?"

It is said that when the male golden toad was dressed as a human, he was called Jin Er. He thought for a while and said,
"I'm too lazy to give my little one a name, so I'll just call him Jin Er..."

Jin Er didn't care, but his wife came up with a name with a strong rural flavor.

"Liu Xiaocui... When I was a maidservant and had not yet become a spirit, I was rescued by a benefactor, which is why I am able to live to this day. That benefactor is called Liu Xiaocui!"

The benefactor, Mother Golden Toad, has passed away many years ago. Using her name now can be considered as a memorial!

So on this day, there was a rich young man from Baimazhou named Gu Shiyi. Young Master Gu brought his wife and his concubine who was so beautiful that she looked like an ordinary person, and his little son who liked to run around the boat naked in a bellyband, and a little cousin who couldn't even walk steadily but liked to chant the Buddha's name, and a housekeeper named Jin Er who looked honest and had a big mouth, and Jin Er's wife Liu Xiaocui, who looked like a couple with her husband, and Liu Ma, and an old accountant who liked to look around everywhere, and ten other people. There were several little maids who also liked to run around on the boat. Each of them had big eyes and small mouths. They smiled at everyone they met and their skin was as white as snow. They spent all day laughing and running around, never having a moment of peace. However, they were transformed by the fox's magic into fur balls with dragon souls but no physical bodies. So they coiled themselves on the tall mast of the boat and acted as lookout sentries. The group set off from Baima Province to Tsumo Province in a large, flat and stable three-decker merchant ship in a noisy manner.

This large merchant ship was purchased by Young Master Gu at a cost of 20,000 taels of silver, along with the sailors and the captain on board. This wealthy young master did not even bargain for the price, and he hired three extra cooks, bought several live livestock such as cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, and threw them into the bottom hold, and also had several large boxes filled with gifts for the Mo Xuyou Yue family. This young master was rich, and he was bringing his family out to travel and enjoy the scenery.

So they traveled as slowly as possible, and every time they arrived at a pier, they would go down to play. Sometimes he took his concubine, son, wife's nephew and servants with him, and sometimes he only took his son and the accountant off the boat. They all came back smelling of wine and rouge. The master's wife was beautiful and dignified, with an extraordinary demeanor, the concubine was extremely beautiful, and the two women were truly virtuous. The wife of the master liked quietness, and when she had nothing to do, she would stay in the cabin and read books. The concubine likes to walk around on the boat and attract all the sailors. They are obsessed with her day and night, tossing and turning. But the young master is not satisfied and often goes out to look for girls. The two ladies are not surprised and always greet him with smiles. In addition, the young master is generous and magnanimous. He often gives money to others. Everyone on the boat is envious of him and says in private,

"In this life...if I can live the life of Master Gu, even if it's just for one month, my life will be worth it!"

"Yes, yes, yes. As long as I can hold that lady's hand, I will be willing to be beaten to death by my wife!"

Gu Shiyi would sometimes be on the upper deck, letting his demonic senses loose to listen to people's private discussions, and would often burst out laughing!

It is said that this ship left Baima State and headed towards Dumo State. Thinking back to the time when Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan followed Huang Liuye's escort team on the ship, they were often harassed by the monsters along the way. They sensed the breath of the true spirits and came to harass them one after another. This time, Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan concealed their breath, but the dragon soul standing on the mast leaked a little breath. Although he had no physical body, the dragon's might was still there, just a little bit of it, but it made the monsters along the coast terrified, and no one dared to approach the ship. It was a quiet journey!

It is said that this time Gu Shiyi took the waterway from Huanhai around Wangnanzhou to Dumozhou. This waterway was different from the one they took last time with Mr. Huang Liu. Gu Shiyi discussed it with Pu Yanlan.
"Although Baimazhou is adjacent to Dumozhou, the land route is full of alliance and invaders' territories. Tianyi Sect is weak now. If we take the land route, even if we fly, it will be difficult. If we go out to sea from Baimazhou, go around Wangnanzhou and then go to Dumozhou, although there are now fleets patrolling the Huanhai by invaders and alliance people, the chance of being discovered in the vast ocean is much smaller and safer..."

Looking at the sea area adjacent to Nanzhou, there are many large and small islands. No matter whether ordinary people are going out to sea or cultivators are flying in the sky, they will stop on those islands to replenish fresh water and food. The islands are not big but it is easy to get information!

So the two of them bought this big merchant ship and set out from the inland river in Baima State. Half of Baima State is now in the hands of the alliance, while the coastal half is in the hands of the invaders. As the saying goes, when immortals fight, mortals will suffer some of the consequences. Their merchant ship went all the way to the sea, and they would pay some taxes at every dock along the way.

Gu Shiyi compared the two and said to Pu Yanlan,

"In the alliance's territory, a ship as big as ours is taxed at ten taels of silver per person, but in the invaders' territory, the tax is based on the size of the ship, a large ship is charged one hundred taels of silver. By this calculation, the invaders are charged less!"
