Legend of the Gu Demon

Mud paths, winding paths lead to secluded places,

Ningchen was wearing the jet black martial robe of Gu Yue Village, and no longer wore his black robe.

After all, the intimidating effect of Gu Yue Gu Master's robe on mortals is far beyond that of a black robe.

The bronze medal around his waist clearly bears the word "two", which represents Ningchen's current level of cultivation.

Walking quietly on the rather muddy path, no one is following you,

"Sister, come and chase me, hahaha!"

"Slow down, don't fall!"

Several sounds of children's play fell into Ningchen's ears. He raised his head and looked far away.

Several mortal children were chasing and playing in the path. The younger children ran happily in front, while the older ones followed closely behind.

And they also noticed Ningchen at this moment, saw Ningchen's outfit, and the conspicuous bronze medal with the word "two" on his waist.

The smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he quickly stepped aside, very wise,

And Ningchen didn't care about them and just ignored them quietly, not caring at all.

"Sister, who is he?"

"I don't know. I have never seen this Gu Master before. Go back and inform your parents!"

Looking at Ningchen's retreating figure, the two children quickly made a decision.

After all, there is a class gap between the Gu Master and them, and no one will say anything if the Gu Master casually kills a few mortals.

And the education they have received since childhood is "never provoke the Gu Master."

But now a strange Gu Master's face appeared near their village, how could they not be frightened?

Ningchen walked forward quietly. After seeing those children, he knew that he was not far from the mortal village where he was stationed.

As expected by Ningchen, he saw a mortal village within a hundred steps.

At this time, the village was shrouded in the morning mist, looking a bit dreamlike.

Countless short bamboo buildings are stationed here, with uneven heights and scattered patterns.

Dogs and chickens hear each other, there is traffic, and there are many villagers who have just woken up on the streets.

Ningchen glanced around quietly and realized that this was the village he wanted to guard.

Ningchen looked up and looked around, and saw a tree house standing in the forest. This would be his future residence.

Slowly climbing up the bamboo ladder to the bamboo building, the tree house remained surprisingly dry.

A bed, a set of tables and chairs, and furniture are all available, which is enough for Ningchen to live alone.

And Ningchen was also very satisfied. After all, he generally didn't have high requirements for his residence, just enough to accommodate him.

"It seems that this is my place to stay in the future, but I'm new here, so I'd better go and see those mortals!"

Ningchen looked through the window at the mortal village and thought in his heart,

"You mean you saw a new Gu Master? He looks strange and young?"

"Yes, I happened to bump into him when I was out playing with my brother today."

A middle-aged man frowned after hearing this.

After all, he didn't expect that just by transferring away the old Gu Master, a new Gu Master would already be here.

He worked hard to manage the old Gu Master well, but now he was transferred out and replaced by a new Gu Master.

Wouldn't this make all his previous actions in vain?

At this time, there was a commotion outside the bamboo house, and there was a steady stream of footsteps, all running in one direction.

And this man also heard the news and went out to look around, feeling slightly uneasy in his heart.

"What are you doing?"

"The new Gu Master is here and is about to summon us all. Why don't you go?"

"Okay, I'll be right away."

Hearing this, the man quickly picked off a string of bacon from the beam and hurried out of the door to follow the crowd.

Ningchen, on the other hand, stood with his hands behind his hands, quietly looking at the more and more mortals in front of him.

"Why does this Master Gu Master look so young?"

"Yes, maybe this Gu Master is easier to talk to than the previous one!"

When the mortals saw Ningchen's handsome appearance, the tension in their hearts relaxed a little.

"Lord Gu Master, this is the bacon presented to you by this villain!"

However, some people did not look down upon Ningchen because of his young appearance. Instead, they took the initiative to send him gifts.

Ningchen looked at the attentive man quietly, took the bacon from him, and smiled back.

When the man saw this, he felt a little happy,

"Okay, it can be done, this master is not a pedantic one!"

"From today on, I will be the Gu Master who protects you. By the way, my name is Gu Yue Ningchen."

Ningchen declared softly with a calm expression, which made the mortals feel relieved even more.

"Okay, let's disband and let everyone do their own thing!"

After hearing this, everyone still didn't want to leave. After all, Ningchen was a talkative master!

Who doesn't want to show up in front of this Gu Master and leave a good impression?

After all, in this kind of village, having the Gu Master's favor is enough to be domineering.

"Master Ningchen, this is a good shochu given to you by this villain. It's an old wine, so you must take it!"

"Although it's not as good as the green bamboo wine in your village, it still has a different flavor!"

"Master Ningchen, think about it, if you come back from patrol at night, you can drink some wine and eat some side dishes, it will be very beautiful!"

Another man held a wine jar in his hand, crowded in front of Ningchen, and hurriedly stuffed it into Ningchen's hand.

"Is...isn't this bad?"

"Oh, Lord Ningchen, what's the point of this? Just take it. It would be nice to drink some wine!"

The man saw that Ningchen looked a little confused and embarrassed, and then looked at the other mortals around him.

Laughing endlessly in his heart, he quickly continued to hand it to Ningchen's arms.

"Okay, I'll accept it then, thank you very much!"

Under the man's hard and soft words, Ningchen reluctantly accepted the jar of wine.

When the mortals on the side saw Ningchen accepting the gift again, they quickly handed the dry goods in their hands to Ningchen, fearing that Ningchen wouldn't want them.

"Lord Ningchen, this is tea roasted by my wife herself. It is very good when it comes back to sweetness. Please accept it!"

"Lord Ningchen, this is the chanterelle mushroom that I have picked for a long time. It tastes more delicious than meat. Please accept it!"

"Lord Ningchen...!"

After a long time, the crowd finally dispersed and everyone went about their business, while Ningchen collected all their gifts into the gourd grass.

In an instant, the space of calabash grass that was originally relatively abundant was immediately filled up.

Ningchen returned to the tree house and slowly took out various dry goods from the gourd grass.

The tree house has two floors, one is used to store sundries, and the other is for Gu Masters to live.

Ningchen, on the other hand, put all the dry goods they contributed into the second floor.

The originally empty utility room was instantly filled with all kinds of dry goods.

"Hey~ Why wouldn't someone like this job?"

"In my opinion, this is a real good job!"

Ningchen looked at the full utility room and chuckled in his heart...
