Gu Shi nodded,

"I have a relative over there, and I want to stop by and have a look..."

When the guest saw him dressed as a hunter, he thought he was a poor man from the mountains who had gone to join his rich relatives in the city. He thought about it and said,

"Does your relative live on Wanfu Street?"

Gu Shiyi recalled that the only time he went to his maternal home, it seemed that it was really on Wanfu Street, so he nodded and said,

"It seems to be that place!"

The guest and the shopkeeper looked at each other and said,

"Then little brother, you must be prepared..."

Gu Shiyi couldn't help but become curious when he saw the two people looking strange.

"What's wrong?"

The shopkeeper said,

"You just came out of the mountains and you didn't know that two months ago, the Qian family living on Wanfu Street in the city had offended cultivators for some reason and were found. As a result, the whole family was killed and they escaped. He fled, and the Qian Mansion was burned to the ground again, causing disaster to the neighbors. Go and take a look, is your relative among them?"

"what!"

Gu Shiyi was shocked,

"Is there such a thing?"

The guest on the side nodded and said,

"Exactly, I came out of Gilded City. This incident caused such a big fuss that even the Qingling Guards of Gilded City were dispatched. Now I heard that all the Qian family members have escaped and are nowhere to be found. I pity those who were affected by this. Not only the property of the involved neighbors was damaged, but there was also a case of human life, and I don’t know who to ask for it from!”

Gu Shiyi quickly asked,

"Then do you know how the Qian family offended the cultivators?"

The guest said,

"This matter has been spread all over the Gilded City, and there are all kinds of things, but the most reliable thing is what the neighbors of the Qian family said. They all said that the day before, a man and a woman ran to the door of the Qian family. When they asked to see the head of the Qian family, they only said that the Qian family had taken something from them and asked the Qian family to hand it over. At that time, the head of the Qian family came out to negotiate with them and just said that there was no such thing. Later, after the negotiation between the two parties collapsed, the man and the other The woman left, but not long after, something happened to the Qian family. When the fire broke out that night, someone saw the man and the woman again..."

"A boy and a girl?"

Gu Shiyi immediately thought of Shang San and his master.

"So... the old guy wanted to divert the trouble away, but ended up getting the trouble back on himself?"

It must be Shang San and his master who chased the old guy named Wei to the Gilded City!

After much deliberation, this is the only possibility!

"Then...did you hear that the man and the woman were finally captured by the Qingling Guards?"

The guest said,

"I have a friend in the government. I heard that the Qingling Guards had found the man and the woman who belonged to the Shanmen. Lord Baiwei of the Qingling Guards personally came to beg for help, but the Shanmen refused to admit it. Now this stupid lawsuit is still unknown. Where are you going to fight?"

After hearing this, Gu Shiyi thought to himself,

"Is this considered too greedy and retribution is coming?"

If the old guy named Wei hadn't refused to hand over the things, how could he have caused trouble?

Although he was her maternal family, Gu Shi did not feel sad or anxious at all about what happened to the Qian family. Instead, he felt that he deserved it. Based on what the scientific madman had done for so many years, there were not many left in the Qian family. He is a normal person, this retribution is so good! It's too late!

After hearing this, Gu Shiyi hugged the two men and said,

"Thank you both very much. I'm going to Gilded City to have a look. I hope my relative's family is safe and sound!"

The two people said goodbye to him. Gu Shiyi walked out of the shop, found a small alley and walked, and said to Li Yaner,

"Yan'er, the Qian family is gone. I wonder how the young lady of the Sun family is doing. If you don't go and take a look, I'll feel uneasy!"

Li Yan'er said, "I didn't let you go before because I was afraid that you would fall into a trap. Now that the Qian family is gone, we are not afraid anymore. Let's go to Gilded City and ask around. Maybe the young lady of the Sun family has escaped too!"

That being said, both of them knew that the young lady of the Sun family was so young, half-demon, could barely walk, and couldn't speak. Even if such a child wasn't in a fire, He was burned to death and ended up outside. I'm afraid the end would be no better than staying in the Qian family!

So Gu Shiyi set out on the road with a heavy heart and spent ten coins to get on the carriage to Gilded City. After entering the city, she went straight to Wanfu Street.

Sure enough, when she got there, she saw that almost the entire street had been burned down. It was still in ruins two months later. Only some civilians hired by the government were doing the cleaning work here. However, because this street was full of Rich families all have large houses, so the cleanup work is very slow. It has been two months since the incident, and half of the house is still the same as it was after the fire.

Gu Shiyi went over to ask someone, and someone showed her the way to the Qian family's house. He looked her up and down and said,

"You want to go to Qian's house to see the dungeon, right?"

"Dungeon?"

Gu Shiyi was surprised. The man smiled mysteriously and whispered the reason to Gu Shiyi.

The Qian family was rich, but after this incident, everyone in the family ran away, and the property became ownerless. The people in the city wanted to look for it in the ruins the next day, maybe they could find something missing?

I don’t know the outcome until I go, but I was shocked when I saw someone rummaging through the ruins of Qian’s house. They pulled open a stone slab with an iron ring on the ground, revealing a hole inside. Those people were still happy at that time. No, everyone said this was a cave where rich people kept their treasures. It seemed like they were looking for treasure this time!

As a result, I lit a torch and went in to take a look. At that time, many people were vomiting out. Later, people from the Qingling Guards and the government went there and carried out many corpses of half-demon who had been suffocated and smoked to death. There are also stumps, internal organs and the like, which look bloody and scary!

The man said to Gu Shi mysteriously,

"Not many people know about this. The government officials have warned us not to talk about it, so not many people outside know about it. We actually saw it that day. There were at least a dozen corpses. There were a lot of people. Some are young, some are old, some are young, some have horns on their heads, some have scales on their bodies, and some have wings on their backs. The strangest one is a fish, but the head is that of a woman... and one by one they have grown. Long snakes with many hands..." As for the other bits and pieces, I can't tell, but they look scary anyway!

Gu Shiyi's heart sank a little when he heard every word he said, especially the sentence "people with scales on their bodies".

"It seems that the young lady of the Sun family is really in danger!"

She went to Qian's house in the direction pointed by the husband, and sure enough, she found the open hole in the back garden of Qian's house that had long been burned to black ashes. She found a piece of wood and burned it to make a torch, and stepped down When I walked in through the steps, I saw that this was some kind of cave. It was basically a dungeon.

There was a long corridor with small and low cages on both sides. She counted at least twenty or thirty cages. At the end was a wide space with a huge blood-stained stone platform that was particularly special. Conspicuously, there are grooves carved around the stone platform to attract blood. You can tell at a glance what they are used for!

At this time, the dungeon had long been emptied, and nothing was left!

But just by looking at these, you can see what kind of life the prisoners here are living!

Gu Shiyi looked at the scene in front of him, imagining those half-demon being imprisoned in this dark cage, which was not much bigger than a dog cage. Many of them had been here since birth and could not get out until they died!

Gu Shiyi thought that he was also a half-demon, and immediately felt the same feeling. He felt sad and angry, and felt very uncomfortable. He felt that he couldn't stay here any longer, so he turned around and left in a hurry...

She stayed in Gilded City for two days and heard that the corpses of the half-demon were taken away by the Qingling Guards, so she spent a lot of money and tried every means to find out where the Qingling Guards had taken the corpses in Gilded City. .

It's a pity that Qing Lingwei has always been aloof and does not easily contact the local government and people. She spent all the two taels of gold, but still didn't find anything useful. She only heard a few words, saying that the corpses of those half-demon were killed. The people of Qingling Guard set fire to it. As for whether there was a little girl among them with scales on her lower body, I don’t know!

Gu Shiyi ran out of money and could only discuss leaving with Li Yaner. After packing his things, he sadly discovered that

"Yan'er, we have no money now!"

When Gu Shiyi spent money to inquire around, Li Yaner remained silent and silently supported. When the two decided to quit the inn and leave the place, Gu Shiyi mentioned the lack of money and said,

"It's okay. If the money is gone, you can still earn it. At worst, we can just go back to the mountains to catch more prey!"

Eleven has always felt guilty about the young lady of the Sun family. He felt that it was because of his incompetence that he failed to protect her and caused her such misfortune. Now that they have spent all their money, this can be regarded as their best effort!

Gu Shiyi thought for a while and said,

"I have a better idea. Why don't we go find a big temple and work as handymen in the temple. We can earn money, let the old monk listen to Buddhist scriptures and restore our magic power, and then we can return to Baima Prefecture!"

Gu Shiyi didn't have the patience to recite Bald Donkey's sutras. Li Yan'er usually recited sutras for the old monk. The old monk hooked up with Yan'er as a nun when he had nothing to do. Gu Shiyi was afraid that Li Yan'er would become a real nun if his brain twitched. I entered the empty door, so I came up with this good idea to kill two birds with one stone.

After hearing this, the old monk who had been silent until now immediately answered,

"Amitabha, this is a great idea from the female donor. I agree with it!"

"I don't agree. The temple is not as good as this ordinary world. I don't want to go!"

Gu Shiyi rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"You said that you... you are an old monk who doesn't even have a physical body. If you don't stay in the temple and think about fooling around in the colorful world all day long, you are not afraid that your Buddha will find out and punish you!"

"Amitabha, the female donor is absolutely right, monks should stay in pure places!"

"What the female donor said is wrong. When you enter the world, you are born out of it. There is a Buddha in your heart. Everywhere is a place for practice!"
