Fox Demon: This is the Guardian Blade

Xu Wu listened quietly to the conversation between Chen Gou and Old Xu, but when he heard that the two seemed to be talking about him, he turned his head and looked at Chen Gou shyly.

"Hey, Uncle Xu, I was just saying this casually. If you find it inconvenient, just treat it as a random rant."

Chen Gou seemed to realize that he might have said something wrong and quickly changed his words.

And it seems that Grandpa Xu likes his grandson very much and is afraid that he will be misunderstood and kicked off the ox cart.

Uncle Xu just smiled and shook his head without showing any dissatisfaction.

"That's not really inconvenient... Actually, when my grandson was still young, he was deprived of his ability to speak by a monster called 'Neiyin'.

But I was just an ordinary mortal and had no ability to resist. Fortunately, there was a Taoist priest with great magical powers at that time.

You kindly rescued my grandson, and his life was saved.

Although his life was saved, he lost the ability to speak forever, and the demon took the opportunity to escape..."

Uncle Xu carefully recalled the situation at that time. He seemed a little depressed, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile: "But even as an old man, I think that Wu'er was able to be rescued from the clutches of that monster... It's also something to be thankful for."

"But his parents weren't so lucky and died at the hands of that monster. From then on, only my grandson and I were left. I am just an old man.

I was afraid that if I died, Wuer would be left alone. I was also afraid that Wuer would die while an old man like me would still be alive... Maybe it was God's mercy that both of us, grandfather and grandson, are doing well. That's good~ That's very good~"

Chen Gou just listened silently as a listener. He was just an outsider and a stranger to the grandfather and grandson who had just started chatting.

He couldn't say anything and just listened to the old man nagging about the monsters in the world.

There is also a dangerous fantasy world of immortals and Taoist priests that only exists in the imaginations of previous novels.

At present, he only knows some important information. First, there are very, very terrifying monsters in this world and they are in opposition to the human race.

Second, in the early years, due to the harm caused by monsters in the world, most of the powerful Taoists and immortals of the human race established an organization called "Yiqi Daomeng" to quell the monster disaster. Now humans and monsters restrain each other and neither can do anything to the other.

"Yiqi Daomeng? ... It sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before? Uh~ never mind, I really can't remember."

Chen Gou remembered that he seemed to have heard this name before on Blue Star, but he just couldn't remember it. He really couldn't remember it and didn't want to think about it anymore because his head hurt.

"Besides, this world seems to be full of dangerous people who can easily kill people. I'll go back and study the system to find some life-saving methods."

Chen Gou thought so and decided that until he felt safe enough, he would think carefully before taking action in the future when doing anything in this world.

Um! That’s it!

The old buffalo was still pulling the ox cart which was already seriously overloaded.

On the other hand, Chen Gou was lying comfortably on the grain bag at the end of the ox cart with his legs crossed.

Along the way, we saw many people who seemed to be heading into the city. Some were walking with bamboo baskets on their backs, while others were pushing beach carts.

He should be from another village or some other place. Anyway, Mr. Xu doesn't recognize him and he is not from their village.

Floating Cloud City——.

"Thank you, Uncle Xu, for your care along the way. Now that we've arrived, I'll be leaving. I hope to see you again."

When Chen Gou saw the place, he felt too embarrassed to follow along.

After all, they have things to do and naturally have no energy to take care of themselves.

"No trouble, no trouble. I'm so happy that you're willing to listen to my nagging along the way."

Uncle Xu also smiled and waved repeatedly, and after a few more words, he happily drove the ox cart into the city.

Before leaving, the little guy named Xu Wu shyly waved goodbye, and Chen Gou responded politely with a smile.

Looking from afar, the city wall was so high that even Chen Gou felt it was beyond his reach. This city wall might not have been built by immortals.

There are guards at the city gates to patrol for any suspicious people entering the city, and the public security seems to be really good.

"Hmm? Why is there such a large bronze mirror hanging right above the city gate? Is there anything special about it?"

Chen Gou looked at the huge bronze mirror on the city gate and couldn't help muttering.

"Oh~! Brother, you don't understand! That thing is called a magic mirror. It's a magic weapon used by immortals to reveal the true form of monsters. If any little monster dares to sneak in disguised as a monster, he will be exposed by this magic mirror."

A rough voice was heard, and Chen Gou turned around and saw that it was a strong man.

To be able to grow so strong in such an environment, he must be a rich man.

"Um? May I ask what your name is, sir?"

As if he had caught a kind-hearted guide, Chen Gou quickly clasped his fists and asked.

"Brother, you're welcome. Meeting is fate. I'm older than you, so just call me Brother Hao."

Seeing Chen Gou being so polite, Haoyang also clasped his fists in response.

However, seeing Chen Gou's strange attire, Haoyang couldn't help but feel curious: "Brother! Judging from your attire, you shouldn't be a local, right?"

"Um... cough~ cough~ Brother Hao guessed right. I was out of town doing business, but I was robbed on the way. Luckily I escaped in time and saved my life!"

Chen Gou continued to make up stories without blushing, and with his hairstyle, he couldn't possibly say that he was a time traveler, right?

Even if I say it, no one will understand what I mean, and instead they will think I am sick.

But Chen Gou felt helpless every time he was asked this question, because this piece of clothing might be too eye-catching.

When I have time and money, I must change my clothes to avoid attracting attention.

"I never thought your fate would be so difficult, brother. Since you called me Brother Hao, I can at least give you a hand when you are in such a difficult situation."

When Haoyang heard how tragic Chen Gou's experience was, he felt so moved that he decided to help Chen Gou.

After being robbed, the other party must be penniless now. Haoyang suddenly felt sympathetic and looked at him with a sense of mutual understanding!

"By the way, I don't know what your name is?"

"Chen Gou..."

For some reason, Chen Gou felt that Brother Hao's gaze on him suddenly became a little strange, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Chen Gou? I'll just call you Brother Gou! I didn't expect to meet a brother like you on my first visit to Floating Cloud City today!"

Haoyang laughed loudly and patted Chen Gou's shoulders several times with his big hands in a very familiar manner. The force was so strong that he almost sent Chen Gou away.

"Ahem~Ahem~Brother Gou...that's fine too."

Chen Gou coughed a few times after being slapped, and didn't care about Haoyang's address, but! ...

"Brother Hao, from what you said, this is your first time here too?"

Hearing Chen Gou's question, Hao Yang didn't think anything of it and replied subconsciously, "That's right! I'm here for something important to do. I've never been to Floating Cloud City before, but my father mentioned it to me."

Ah this! ... Well, Chen Gou didn't expect anything, but the other party was willing to help him in this unfamiliar place. This kind of person is worth making friends with.

And Chen Gou really doesn't have a penny on him!

After some more pleasantries, Chen Gou and Haoyang entered the city together.

To enter the city, one has to pay an entry fee of 10 cents per person, but Chen Gou doesn't have a penny now.

But fortunately, Haoyang helped to advance the money so Chen Gou could get in...
