Legend of the Gu Demon

Cold branches covered with snow, white fur wrapped around the mountain,

There were two figures beside the bamboo forest,

One bowed slightly, as if he was extremely respectful to the figure in front,

And the figure in front just looked at the lush bamboo forest in front of him quietly,

Looking closely, there was a faint smile on his lips,

This figure was wearing a black robe, black hair like a deep abyss, and a handsome face. He was obviously not an ordinary person,

This figure was none other than Ning Chen,

Suddenly, Ning Chen turned his head and looked at the person behind him, smiling,

"Even in winter, this Qifeng bamboo is particularly outstanding!"

"Well cultivated, Liu San!"

"This year's Qifeng bamboo is even better than last year! "

Liu San raised his head slightly, smiled as if in agreement, clasped his hands together, and talked freely,

"Thank you Lord Ningchen for the reward. We have never forgotten to cultivate the Phoenix Bamboo after you left!"

"Last time you led us to plant Phoenix Bamboo, you led us on a road to wealth!"

"Now the living conditions of everyone in the village have generally improved a lot, and this is all thanks to you!"

Ningchen just chuckled when he heard it, and patted Liu San's shoulder gently,

"After a while, my people will come to take away these Phoenix Bamboos, and you will need your cooperation at that time!"

"After the Yuanshi arrives, you will naturally be indispensable!"

"Well..."

Liu San also heard it. A smile, but the smile on his lips was very faint, which seemed a bit forced.

And such an attitude naturally could not escape Ningchen's sight. He spoke lightly, his words were as cold as ice.

"Tell me, what's wrong?"

"Nothing... Lord Ningchen..."

Liu San stammered, as if he had something on his mind, but he was still unwilling to say it.

Ningchen saw this and his eyes became even colder. He spoke leisurely as if he didn't care.

"Oh~Nothing!"

"Then I'll go first. Remember to collect the Phoenix Bamboo in advance."

After saying that, Ningchen walked straight past Liu San and left slowly.

And Liu San saw this and quickly turned around and knelt on the ground, fearing that Ningchen would leave.

"Lord Ningchen, don't leave !"

"I have an important request!"

"Our harvest this year is very poor, and my wife and children are almost starving!"

"Can you give us a few more Yuanshi, otherwise we will freeze to death this winter!"

"I really beg you, Lord Ningchen!"

With a plop, Liu San slammed his forehead into the snow, and fell to his knees, crying and sobbing.

Ningchen just smiled gently when he saw this, his eyes were as cold as ice,

"Oh~ So it's really an important matter!"

"But why didn't you tell me when I asked you just now?"

"I... was worried that you would be angry..."

Liu San's tone weakened a bit, and Ningchen's smile only became stronger when he heard it. , there was no trace of anger on his face,

"You also know that I will be angry?"

"It seems that you know me very well!"

"Then why not guess, guess whether I will give you Yuanshi?"

Ning Chen's cold words fell into his ears, which made Liu San feel cold in his heart.

He raised his head and stared at Ning Chen in a daze, only to see that he had a smile on his face.

Although Ning Chen was smiling, such a smile made him feel cold in his heart.

Liu San opened his mouth, as if his throat was blocked by something, and he couldn't say anything.

Finally, he sighed softly, as if he had lost all his energy,

"...No..."

"Right, you really know me very well!"

"But...what about my wife and children? "

Liu San still had some hope, raised his head and asked Ning Chen,

Ning Chen's smile gradually faded when he saw this, and he slowly walked towards Liu San, leaned close to his ear, and talked leisurely, his words were as cold as ice,

"Your wife and children? What does that have to do with me?"

"Liu San, you have to understand that I will only take care of you if you are useful to me, and as for other people, they have nothing to do with me."

"Of course, I'm not worried that you will hate me, because since I have confessed to you, I don't plan to keep you! "

When Liu San heard this, his eyes widened like bells, and he felt a piercing pain in his chest.

Even though it was winter, his forehead was covered with sweat. He forced his head up to look at Ning Chen, who had a calm expression.

"Lord Ning Chen..."

"Shh...Don't talk before you die..."

Ning Chen smiled faintly, and then exerted force on his hand again, completely ending Liu San's life.

Liu San's eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground without Ning Chen's support, still with a bit of disbelief on his face.

Ning Chen casually took out a handkerchief from his arms and quietly wiped the blood and internal organs on his hands, muttering,

"This year's Qifeng bamboo should be the last harvest. When the caravan arrives next year, I will leave Qingmao Mountain..."

"Liu San, you deserve to die! "

Ning Chen looked at the corpse lying on the ground quietly, with a little mockery in his eyes.

Ning Chen expected that he would leave Gu Yue Village and Qing Mao Mountain after the caravan arrived next year and took the last share.

So, he didn't need to plant Qi Feng bamboo anymore, and naturally he didn't need Liu San...

The pine forest was covered with snow, and everything was white.

Ning Chen walked slowly in the forest, leaving a line of snow marks, and a few thoughts flashed in his eyes.

"Now I am one step away from breaking through to the basic level of the third level. If I follow this progress, maybe I will be able to reach the advanced level of the third level or even the peak level of cultivation by next summer."

"Now my Yuanshi assets are 110,000 yuan, and the market price of a third-level silver relic Gu usually hovers in the range of 50,000 to 100,000 yuan."

"If I'm lucky, I can reach the peak cultivation level of the third rank next summer!"

"At the age of twenty-one, at the peak of the third rank, even if he is placed in a super family like the Tie family or a merchant, he is still a genius worth wooing!"

"With the peak cultivation level of Level 3, it will be more convenient to travel in Southern Xinjiang..."

Suddenly, a blue moon blade mixed with wisps of strong wind shot through the branches and leaves, breaking into Ningchen's afterglow.

Ningchen's black eyes glanced slightly, then slowly raised his hand, obviously not paying attention to it.

But it caused some doubts in Ningchen's heart.

"Turning the moonlight Gu, is there a Gu master from the Gu Yue clan here at this time?"

"Who could that be?"

Immediately, he patted the moon blade and scattered it into the air.

The range of the Moonlight Gu is only ten meters. If it exceeds ten meters, it will automatically dissipate. Therefore, the owner of the Moonlight Gu must be not far from here.

Ningchen slowly walked along the trajectory of the moon blade, pushing aside the layers of bushes, and saw a person.

This man was born with a thin body, black hair, pale skin, and a strong gloomy air.

This is naturally Fang Yuan...
