Chapter 323 Searching for someone
Chapter 323 Searching for someone
These people who set up stalls and sell things are all cultivators in the Jindan stage. In the outside world, they are definitely the best in their respective sects, but here they are no different from ordinary people. They have to do everything by themselves because everyone here has such ability.
In order to avoid attracting attention, Gu Chi and his group cast spells to change their appearance before entering the city.
The others only changed their appearance slightly, but Gu Chi's change was the most thorough, even changing his gender.
She transformed into a handsome young man wearing a white crane Taoist robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, with a graceful demeanor and a warm smile on his face. As he walked on the road, he attracted many young women to stop and pay attention.
The big black dog transformed into a palm-sized canary and stood on Gu Chi's left shoulder.
Murong Zhixiu curled his lips and couldn't help but complain: "Sister Qianhe, if you really want a man, you can go find one. You'll need one..."
Before he could finish his words, Gu Chi slapped him in the face, glared at him angrily, and said, "What do you mean by lacking men and missing men? What nonsense are you talking about? I've changed so completely, who would associate me with Qianhe?"
Tuoba Cang muttered quietly beside him, "It's hard to say. After all, you've transformed into a man before, and many people didn't think you were a woman at first..."
This is true, because when Gu Chi first changed her appearance, she transformed herself into the appearance of a teenager. Even when she revealed her true identity, some people thought it was her bad taste and often called her vulgar and dirty behind her back.
The big black dog was also puzzled and didn't understand why Gu Chi liked to transform himself into a teenager so much.
"Shut up!" Gu Chi ended the topic.
Tuoba Cang curled his lips and stopped talking.
They were strolling slowly through the city, and when they passed a stall, the topic of conversation between several young monks caught their attention.
Those monks mentioned Li Wangcen and Zuo Shiji during their conversation.
Li Wangcen, the disciple of the fourth thief Li Daoxuan, and Zuo Shiji, the grandson of the eighth thief Zuo Sixu, these two small bandits, like Jiang Chengji, won the places in the competition in other states and took a different path from Gu Chi and the others.
"Have you met Li Wangcen and Zuo Shiji?" Murong Zhixiu and Tuoba Cang stepped forward to ask, and Gu Chi and the others followed.
After entering Kunlun Ruins for so long, they have been asking people about the news of other small bandits, hoping to reunite as soon as possible. Now that they heard someone mention Li Wangcen and Zuo Shiji, they naturally would not miss the opportunity to ask.
There were many people looking at him sideways, with strange expressions on their faces.
As for the monks in front of the stall, they stared at them with twinkling eyes and asked, "Do you know them?"
Tuoba Cang said, "We have some acquaintance, we can be considered friends, have you met them?"
"Maybe you'll know if you go out of the city now." The owner of the stall laughed.
Seeing the stall owner's expression, everyone had a premonition that Li Wangcen, Zuo Shiji and others might have had an accident.
Moreover, the two of them seemed to have caused quite a stir, and many people knew the inside story.
Murong Zhixiu's temper suddenly lost control. He grabbed the man by the collar and pulled him up from the ground, saying, "If you know something, why don't you just tell me? Why keep me in suspense?"
"Fellow Daoist, with your attitude, I really have nothing to say. If you have the guts, kill me right here!"
There is a rule in the city that fighting is not allowed, and the stall owner relies on this rule and looks fearless.
Gu Chi pulled Murong Zhixiu back and said, "Don't be impulsive. I'm fast. I'll just go outside the city."
After saying that, she turned into a long rainbow and soared into the sky, disappearing from sight in an instant.
The cultivator who was setting up a stall sneered in his heart, with a glint of gloating in his eyes, because after seeing Gu Chi leaving the city, many cultivators also followed her out of the city, intending to surround and kill her outside the city.
However, in less than a cup of tea, Gu Chi came back and walked to the stall.
Murong Zhixiu asked, "How is it?"
Gu Chi said: "We didn't find the person, but we did get some clues."
Hearing the voice, the monk who was setting up a street stall was stunned. The moment he looked up, he exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't you just leave the city? How can you still... come back!"
In his opinion, leaving the city means death!
Gu Chi raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "I just met some fellow Taoists. They said that Li Wangcen and Zuo Shiji were forced to flee because they had obtained an incredible and rare divine treasure. Do you know where they fled to?"
"I...I don't know!" The stall owner shook his head repeatedly, then seemed to have thought of something and said, "If you go outside the city again, maybe someone can tell you."
Hearing this, Tuoba Cang's brows immediately furrowed and he said, "Boy, although fighting is strictly prohibited in the city, it doesn't mean we can't drag you outside the city and kill you."
"Don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive!" Feeling the murderous aura emanating from Tuoba Cang, the monk setting up a stall shuddered and quickly said, "I don't know where those two fled to, but I know who is targeting them. They have planted flags in the city. I... I can take you there to see."
Murong Zhixiu said, "Then why waste time talking? Lead the way!"
The cultivator selling things on the street was named Zhang Zhen, and he came from a small sect called Qiyao Pavilion. Feeling that he was not strong enough, he ran to Zhaoyang Realm as soon as he entered Kunlun Ruins, and did not dare to run around anywhere else.
Along the way, Zhang Zhen felt uneasy and whispered, "My fellow Taoists, please don't do anything reckless. The rules of this city cannot be broken, otherwise you will be surrounded and suppressed by all forces."
Finally, he added, "Besides, if you go there now, you probably won't be able to find those leaders. Those peerless geniuses are probably out looking for opportunities and fortunes. They only come back every once in a while and are unlikely to stay in one place."
As they were talking, they had already arrived deep in the ancient city and stopped in front of a mansion.
"Xingxiu Mansion, is Xingxiu Yue's hall here?" Murong Zhixiu looked at the mansion in front of him that occupied half of the street.
It was still broad daylight, but above the mansion, stars were looming in the clouds, casting a dreamy glow.
At the entrance of the mansion, there were dozens of young strong men guarding it. On the cuffs of their robes, there were indeed the symbolic totems of Xingxiu Mountain.
Gu Chi frowned and said, "They're really haunting me. I can see people from this sect everywhere I go."
