I rely on talismans to seek longevity

After watching Lao Li leave, Luo Ling and the Gu family's caravan set off together. Because Luo Ling's eyes were injured before, Luo Ling has been resting since he got on the carriage. During the rest, Luo Ling kept thinking about the previous battles and found that he had only energy but didn't know how to use it. He also kept wondering why Uncle Fu didn't teach him the moves? After thinking for a long time, he didn't think of it, so he stopped thinking about it. He started to practice the mental method of "Eighteen Styles of Martial Arts Tianjian".

Before I knew it, I had walked for half a day and arrived at a town. This town is located on an important transportation hub and is quite large. Looking from a distance, you can clearly see a majestic city wall, which seems to be an invisible bridge that closely connects the two peaks. The height of the city wall reaches five or six feet, giving people a sense of shock and majesty. The building materials of the city wall are very particular. It is made of large stone bricks of specified sizes and shapes. Each stone brick has been carefully polished and spliced, making the entire city wall appear solid and durable. This city wall is not only a defensive fortification, but also a landmark building of this town, highlighting its history and cultural heritage. It should have been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

Walking to the city gate, Luo Ling was instantly shocked by its majestic scale. The thickness of the city wall was as high as two meters, giving people a feeling of being indestructible. The city gate was tall and wide, like a mountain gate, enough for carriages and pedestrians to enter and exit freely without appearing crowded. A row of soldiers stood on each side, looking majestic. The three big characters "Shanhe Town" carved on the city gate, each of which was half a person's height, with rough and powerful strokes, as if it was a concentration of the magnificent scene of overlapping mountains and rushing rivers.

Luo Ling was a little dazed for a moment, but then a voice said, "Brother Luo, Shanhe Town is majestic, isn't it?" Luo Ling woke up and nodded quickly, saying, "It is indeed majestic and impressive."

Gu Nantian: "Xin'er, you and Brother Luo go to the merchant station first. I will take these bandits to the government to claim the reward."

Gu Nanxin: "Okay brother, be careful."

Gu Nantian gathered the people who were escorting the bandits and sent them to the government. Gu Nanxin led the caravan along the main street for a while, and then found the Gu family's residence in Shanhe Town on a side street. The residence was a large courtyard, comparable to Master Qin's house. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, a middle-aged man hurriedly came up to greet them: "Miss, you are here, it seems that you are one hour later than expected."

Gu Nanxin: "Uncle Hong, we encountered something on the way, so we were delayed. Oh, this is Brother Luo, if it weren't for him, we might not be able to arrive now?"

Uncle Hong carefully looked at Luo Ling in front of him. A handsome young man came into his sight, which reminded people of those well-read scholars. However, between Luo Ling's eyebrows, there was an extraordinary heroism, as if he had experienced the vicissitudes and trials of the world. The boy's eyes were firm and sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts, and seemed to contain endless stories and wisdom. Uncle Hong secretly praised in his heart: "What a young hero!" At the same time, he smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Luo, I am the steward of the Gu family, Gu Tianhong. Thank you for taking care of our Gu family"

Luo Ling quickly replied: "Butler Hong, you are too polite."

Uncle Hong searched for a while, then asked in confusion: "Miss, where is the young master?"

Gu Nanxin: "Oh, my brother has escorted a few bandits to the government. There are also some items that the bandits robbed. I hope the government can find them back to the owner."

Uncle Hong said with a worried look on his face: "Miss, are you okay? You actually encountered bandits."

Gu Nanxin: "Look, I'm fine. It's okay."

Although Gu Nanxin said it was okay, Uncle Hong would still find his brother to find out the situation and report to the head of the Gu family. After everyone entered the yard, Gu Nanxin took Luo Ling to a side yard, and then took him to a guest room. The guest room was large, with a complete range of items and neatly arranged. It seemed that a lot of effort had been put into cleaning it.

"Brother Luo, you can rest here for a while. I'll call you for dinner later. I'll take care of the caravan's affairs first." Gu Nanxin said and walked out.

Luo Ling walked to the front of the table, poured a glass of water, and drank it in one gulp. He still felt a little thirsty. He felt much better after drinking several glasses in a row. I didn't expect so many things to happen in one day. My kindness was taken advantage of and I almost lost my life. Fortunately, the Gu family brothers and sisters are good people. I guess they are not wrong. Suddenly I remembered that Gu Nantian gave me a stack of silver bills before. I was embarrassed to take a closer look at it at first, but now I can finally take a look. Then Luo Ling took out the silver bills from his arms and counted them carefully. He found that there were exactly 2 taels of silver. He took a breath of cold air, "Wow", this is too much. At the beginning, I was still worried about not having money and didn't know how to go to Tianlan College. I didn't expect that I would break through my understanding of money in just a few days. I quickly packed up the silver bills. Just when I calmed down, I heard someone outside shouting: "Is Brother Luo there?"

Luo Ling walked to the door and saw that it was Gu Nantian who came back. Luo Ling hurriedly welcomed him in. Gu Nantian took out a silver note and handed it to Luo Ling, saying, "Brother Luo, this is a reward from the government. You also have a share. This is yours."

Luo Ling took the banknote and looked at it. Wow, wow, it was 2 taels. Luo Ling quickly retreated and said, "Brother Gu, I can't accept this."

Gu Nantian's face suddenly turned serious: "Do you still consider me a brother? If so, just take it."
