The Urban Successor of God of Gluttony Chapter 3285:
There are obviously many secrets in this ancient dispute.
Fifty souls are not cultivated by anyone in this world, but they are very few. There is only one in the past three hundred years, and that person cultivates Xiaoyao Jue.
Cultivating a soul requires a lot of mental power. Mental power is different from vitality. It is a kind of inner cultivation, just like the strength of the soul in the ancient times does not depend on the amount of immortal power from the outside world.
In the ancient sea of knowledge, small people slowly took shape and then grew larger.
"This technique is indeed a bit troublesome!"
After practicing all night, Gu Zheng opened his eyes at dawn. In one night, he cultivated ten souls. Adding the fifteen before, there were only twenty-five souls in total. He was fifty yuan away. God is still half way there.
This speed is a bit slow.
Fortunately, this is what he is thinking. Half of the people can cultivate ten souls in ten years. If they are less qualified, it will be possible in twenty years. Even those geniuses can cultivate in one or two years. There are not many who have ten souls.
This is just a result of cultivation. The cultivation of the first to ninth level of the soul is not slow. No wonder there are so few people practicing Xiaoyao Jue.
"Brother Gu, do you have time today?"
As soon as he got up, Jin Yu had already arrived in his yard. In addition to Wanfa Pavilion, there were many people who knew about Gu Zheng. After all, Heishan Village was taken over by him alone. The creditors of Heishan Village were not weak. There are many people, and one person can build a stronghold, which makes many people curious.
There are only a few people who know how fast Gu Zheng is in cultivation.
"Yes!"
Gu Zheng said lightly and asked Jin Yu to come in, without being polite to him, and went to wash up himself.
Originally, he was assigned a maid, but Gu Zheng didn't want it. It was better for him to do these things by himself.
"I have a few friends who admire me when they know that Brother Gu conquered Black Mountain Village alone. I want to get to know you!"
Jin Yu said excitedly. Yesterday, Gu Zheng went to the room as soon as he came back. He even ate dinner in the room by himself. He bragging about it with a few close friends for half the night, almost blowing Gu Zheng off. Going to the sky made those people curious.
As for Jin Kai, he plans to arrange a welcome banquet for Gu Zheng in two days. He just came back yesterday and the time is not suitable.
"Yes!"
Jin Yu’s friends, Gu Zheng, knew what was going on as soon as they heard it. They must be the second generation in the city. Jin Yu ran out excitedly and spread the news.
At noon, all Jin Yu’s friends came to the main hall of the Jin family. Gu Zheng was the last one to enter and sat in the first seat on the left side of the master’s house.
Across from Gu Zheng, there was a man about the same age as Jin Yu, looking at him curiously.
"Brother Gu, let me introduce to you, this is the third son of the Palace Master, Bai Ke!"
Jin Yu first introduced the person opposite him to Gu Zheng, the master's son. No wonder he was on the right, but his status was still not as high as Gu Zheng's. In this world, the left is respected.
Gu Zheng is a high-level warrior and a master of both fine and martial arts. No one will have any objection to him taking this position.
"This is Zhu Daoqi, the eldest son of Zhu Wen, the general manager of the city!"
"This is Sandara..."
"This is Jiang Yousheng..."
Jin Yu introduced the visitors one by one. There were seven young people in total, including Gu Zheng and Jin Yu, there were nine people.
Nine people sat at separate meals, and no one had a lot of food in front of them. It could be seen that these nine people were all warriors, and they were not low-level warriors.
"Brother Gu, I'd like to toast you and thank you for eliminating this harm to my Dabaic City!"
Bai Ke raised the cup first. He actually had the highest status here, but he was in the Jin Mansion, not the City Lord's Mansion, so he sat below.
"Do it!"
Gu Zheng was not polite, he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. The taste of the wine could not be said to be bad, but it was not much better. I had tasted better Gu Zheng, so I could only say that these wines were just average.
Fortunately, Jin Yu didn't know what he was thinking. If he knew, he would probably scream aggrieved. Today, in order to entertain Gu Zheng, this is the best treasure in the family. Usually even his father would not be willing to drink it.
"Brother Gu, I would like to ask a question. I heard from Brother Jin that a few days ago you were still a middle-level warrior. This time when you went to annihilate Heishan Stronghold, you were already a high-level warrior. Did you hide your strength before, or did you really just practice? Advanced skills?"
It is really presumptuous to directly inquire about other people's cultivation, but Bai Ke didn't ask the question himself. He came with a mission to find out the true situation of Gu Zheng.
It was just a matter of hiding his strength before, but it would be terrifying if he really just cultivated it.
Gu Zheng bought the Butcher's Divine Spear, but not long after, whether it was Jin Yuhe or Bai Ke, their families interrogated the bandits many times and determined that Gu Zheng used the Butcher's Divine Spear on the day he stormed the village.
"There is nothing to hide, I practice faster!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly. If you practice quickly, you are a genius. If you practice too fast, you will be a monster. But the speed of cultivation shown by Gu Zheng is even more monster than a monster, and that is terrifying.
Gu Zheng had already been mentally prepared for this, and it didn't matter if he told the truth. He was just here to experience and play, and he didn't really regard himself as a person in this world.
If someone really wants to do harm to him, he has to think about it himself.
"Cultivation is faster?"
Bai Ke choked, is this faster? Who has ever heard that advanced skills can be practiced in just a few days? Even if a genius practices advanced skills, he can only get started in a few days, and it is not even as useful as the original intermediate skills.
"Brother Gu, have you really just been practicing the Divine Slaughter Spear for a short time?"
This time it was Sandara who asked. He still looked like he couldn't believe it, but he asked more clearly and clearly this time.
"That's right!"
Gu Zheng nodded again without being polite, picked up the elbow on the table and started to chew on it. The elbow was not small, but it was not enough for his current appetite.
The seven young people, including Jin Yu, were all speechless, staring blankly at Gu Zheng chewing the meat, which was delicious.
"Brother Gu, I would like to ask again, do you know where Brother Gu is from? We have checked your whereabouts, Brother Gu. You first appeared in Daqing Mansion. Later, you encountered monsters on the road. How did you behave? The strength is the power of the Nine Bulls of Na Yuan Jue, and not long after Brother Jin met you, you were practicing the Soul-Eating Spear, but now, you are practicing the God-Slaying Spear!"
Bai Ke said carefully, this involved secrets, but his elders had orders and he had to ask.
"Confidential!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and did not answer him this time.
Where did it come from? I come from prehistoric times, can you say that? Of course there was no way to say it, and he didn't want to make up any lies to justify it, so he simply refused.
As for whether he would offend these people, Gu Zheng had never thought about it. If they were smart, they would not provoke him. Otherwise, they would be the ones who regretted it.
Bai Ke was startled, then smiled bitterly.
When he asked the question, he thought that Gu Zheng would refuse, but he didn't expect to refuse so simply and without giving him any steps. However, he didn't think about falling out or anything. In his eyes, Gu Zheng was a mystery. Since he is an expert, it is normal to do things that are not in line with common sense.
Odd, I can only blame him for asking the wrong question.
"Brother Bai, I heard that you recently wrote another poem and was praised by the palace master. Why don't you tell us about it today, so that we can also learn from Brother Bai's masterpiece!"
On the side, Zhu Daoqi helped to rescue him. There was no so-called poem at all, it was purely to give Bai Ke a step down.
However, Bai Ke's literary talent is indeed good, and he is well-known in the Qinglong Empire. It is not difficult for him to write a poem immediately.
"Brother Zhu is too praised!"
Bai Ke cheered up. Poetry is indeed one of his strengths. He was a little unable to get off the stage just now, but he is finally feeling better now.
"The new work was actually made when I was on my last mission to the Suzaku Kingdom. The Suzaku Kingdom is located in a cold northern land, and the folk customs there are really strong!"
Bai Ke chuckled, and then chanted: "Shuangyan is the first born son, and five peaches are newly made into flowers. Wang Chang is in the east house, and Song Yu is in the west house. Xiao Xiao can weave silk, and Huan yarn comes out from time to time. My dear Lao Shijun asked, Nanmo stationed the incense car."
The poem was indeed good, and the artistic conception was very good. As soon as Bai Ke finished speaking, applause broke out, but Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashing.
"Brother Bai, I also take the liberty to ask, was this poem really written by you?"
Gu Zheng asked softly, the poem is really good, with artistic conception and connotation, but the key is that he knows this poem and has heard it.
If his guess is true, then the world will be more interesting.
"Of course, I did it. Brother Gu, do you have any advice?" Bai Ke sat up straight, seeming a little proud.
"Advice is not a big deal, I also have a poem here, please appreciate it, Brother Bai!
Gu Zheng smiled, without waiting for Bai Ke's reply, and said slowly: "When will the spring flowers and autumn moon come? How much do you know about the past? There was an east wind in the small building last night, and the motherland cannot bear to look back at the bright moon."
As soon as he finished reading these sentences, several people around him frowned and couldn't help but nodded.
The artistic conception of Gu Zheng's poem is also very good. It is no worse than Bai Ke's, or even better. It's just that Gu Zheng talks about his homeland. Is it possible that he is not from the Qinglong Empire at all?
This is really possible. After all, everyone has inquired about Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. There were no clues about him before.
"The carved railings and jade bricks should still be there, but the beauty has changed. How much sorrow can you have? It's like a river of spring water flowing eastward."
Gu Zheng read the complete poem slowly. The wine glass Bai Ke was holding froze suddenly and he raised his head.
The artistic conception of this poem is deeper and stronger than that of his, especially the last sentence, which is likely to become an eternal quatrain. With this sentence alone, his poems cannot be compared.
"Brother Bai, what do you think of my poem?" Gu Zheng asked with a smile.
"No, Brother Gu is a great talent, both civil and military, I admire you!"
Bai Ke clasped his fists, and several others also clasped their fists and praised him. Gu Zheng's poem was really good, and it really left them speechless.
"Brother Bai, you can tell this poem to the owner of your previous poem, he will understand!"
"Everyone, I'm sorry, I'll take my leave first!"
Gu Zheng stood up with a smile. Judging from Bai Ke's expression and his reaction, Gu Zheng knew that the previous poem by Wang Wei was not written by him.
Yes, the poem Bai Ke just read was written by Wang Wei, a poet from the Tang Dynasty on Earth. The appearance of this poem in Bai Ke's mouth made Gu Zheng feel a little interesting.
Either a poet from Earth's Tang Dynasty time traveled here, or Wang Wei traveled through time.
The latter is unlikely, but the former is more likely, so Gu Zheng deliberately wrote a poem from the Five Dynasties to see when that person traveled through time.
I said my goodbyes and left because I didn’t want to talk nonsense with these people. They were probing him inside and outside their words. Gu Zheng didn’t like this. There was no need for it.
Leaving the hall, Gu Zheng walked out of the Jin Mansion directly, leaving Jin Yu and the others with their mouths wide open.
Where are the etiquette and politeness gone?
Looking at Gu Zheng being a very temperamental person, why did he leave them alone like this?
Bai Ke thought of something and hurriedly left to say goodbye.
Before Gu Zheng left, he could take a special look at him. That look was very meaningful. He recalled Gu Zheng’s question just now and asked if he had written the poem. His answer was yes, but in his heart Know, no.
After leaving Jin Mansion, Gu Zheng wandered around Dabaicheng with great interest.
Perhaps because it is a border mansion, many people on the streets are armed. There are more **** agencies here than Daqing and Da'an, and they are more powerful.
Many of these **** agencies take on cross-border delivery tasks. Many caravans do not have their own escorts, especially those small caravans. Most of them are composed of several caravans joining together and hiring one or more **** agencies. Escort escort.
The **** agencies that dare to take on cross-border **** missions are not weak in strength.
"My gun is still a little weak!"
Gu Zheng thought of his refined iron spear, which was just fine when he was a middle-level warrior. Now that he is a high-level warrior, the spear can no longer hold up. He needs to change to a better weapon.
The best is a gun made of pure black iron, but he asked about this kind of gun when he was in Da'an Mansion last time. There is no finished product. If you want one like this, you can only customize it. The material is too precious to really use this kind of weapon. People will customize it to make it look like what they want.
"It's impressive, the black iron spear is not cheap!"
In a large weapons store, Gu Zheng explained his needs to the store owner. The store owner looked at him in surprise and said.
"Money is no problem, can you do it?" Qian Guzheng still has money, and to Gu Zheng, money is just a number.
"According to your request, a pure black iron spear weighs almost three hundred kilograms, and requires about six thousand kilograms of black iron ore. The black iron ore costs one Yuan Qi brand per kilogram, and the raw material cost is Six thousand vitality cards!"
The shopkeeper spoke slowly, Gu Zheng was speechless again.
The raw materials require 6,000 vitality cards, and he only has more than 8,000 vitality cards now, which seems to be not enough.
"This is just the raw material. Extracting the raw material costs at least a thousand Yuanqi Brands. Adding the cost of manufacturing, the cost will be tens of thousands. If you want to do it, we will buy the black iron ore, find someone to purify it, and then Let the masters in the store make it, and it will take about a month!"
It will take another month to get tens of thousands of vitality cards.
Money was not enough, and Gu Zheng did not expect that a dark iron weapon would be so expensive. The tip of his previous fine iron spear contained dark iron, but the quantity was not large.
"This is five thousand vitality cards, which is considered a deposit, but one month is too long, half a month at most. Can it be completed in half a month?"
"It's okay if it takes half a month, but there will be extra charges for expediting it. After half a month, we can only urgently collect other finished black iron at a high price, and at least two thousand vitality cards will be added!"
"Okay, I'll give you a deposit of 6,000, and I'll pick it up in half a month!"
It doesn't matter if he adds two thousand, it's not enough for him anyway, and Gu Zheng can accept it even if he doesn't add too much. One month is indeed a long time for him. He came to this world to play, and he doesn't plan to stay here for too long.
After leaving the weapon shop, his wealth has now become negative and he has to make money again.
The only way to make money by robbing bandits is that there is more than one bandit village near Dabai Mansion, and there are many more. The reason why Heishan Village was chosen before the ancient war was first because they had many rewards and a large number of people, and the second was close.
This time, the target of Gu Zheng was a bandit den two hundred miles away.
There are three hundred people there, and they only offer a reward of six hundred vitality cards to the creditor, which is higher than the reward offered by Liu Hong in Heishan Village.
The reason for this is because the creditor is already a high-level warrior, and high-level warriors are naturally worth more than mid-level warriors.
The little mare can run very fast. She has never lost anything in ancient competitions these days. This time she was short of money, so she didn't take her time. The two hundred miles journey arrived in less than a day.
On this day, the little mare was tired from running. When she stopped, she looked at Gu Zheng resentfully.
"The person coming is the ancient master of Zhenggu!"
As soon as Gu Zheng arrived at the place where they collected tolls, he was called out by name. There were sixteen people here, also armed, but they were not guarding in the middle of the road, but hiding on the side of the road.
It's a pity that their hiding is of no use against Gu Zheng.
"Do you know me?"
"Of course, the master has given instructions. If Master Gu comes, we will take you up the mountain immediately. The master has prepared what you want for you. I only ask you to let us go once!"
The bandit immediately replied, the boss was a smart man and actually made preparations in advance.
"Lead the way!"
Gu Zheng didn't waste any time and asked them to lead the way. Sixteen people walked in front with fear. They had already heard about the incident in Heishan Village. It was very tragic. Several leaders were dead and the village was looted.
Gu Zheng’s name also spread.
"Mr. Gu, please take a seat!"
The village was really well prepared~IndoMTL.com~ As soon as Gu Zheng arrived, the village owner took the initiative to open the door and welcomed Gu Zheng in. He was a dignified and high-ranking warrior, and his attitude was indescribably flattering.
"This is the account book of our village. Take a look at it. We mainly collect money from wealthy businessmen in the past and have never harmed anyone. No one in our village is kidnapped, and some are poor people who can't live anymore. The mountain we just climbed up is at the border between the two countries in Dabai Mansion. There are constant wars, and this place has become a refuge for them!"
The headmaster said carefully, a high-level warrior stood there and spoke to Gu Zheng.
When entering the village, Gu Zheng also noticed that this village was very clean and different from the others. Moreover, it had no city walls. There were actually people around who were cultivating wasteland and doing geography work.
It is said to be a bandit den, but this place is more like a mountain village.
"We currently have six thousand vitality cards, that's all. My head is still worth six hundred. Mr. Gu, you can take it. I just ask you not to embarrass others. It's all for living, which is not easy! ”
The big boss was talking there. Gu Zheng looked at him and suddenly kicked out. The big boss didn't even have time to react and was kicked away.
