Outside Xueliu City, the terrain is open.

Xiao Qi sat outside the carriage and asked excitedly, "Junior Brother, Master, are we going home now?"

Gu Jiu said: "Go home, go back to what home?"

Su Ying was immediately confused and asked, "Xiaojiu, do we still want to play outside for a while?"

Although only a few days had passed, to Su Ying, it felt like several years.

Not everyone can digest such an experience easily.

Ba Xue Liu Pavilion, the number one in the north, was actually taken over by Gu Jiu alone and their two burdens.

The only saint in the North was defeated, Gu Jiu killed a hall master in Ba Xue Liu Pavilion, and they are now wandering around in each other's carriages. This kind of thing is probably so exaggerated that it is impossible to imagine even in dreams.

Now that Gu Jiu said he didn't want to go back, Su Ying suddenly had the illusion that the other party still wanted to cause trouble.

Gu Jiu took a sip of wine and said, "Aunt, our academy is now considered a well-known sect in the North. Since we finally get to go out, we naturally have to visit fellow Taoists. Otherwise, we will be seen as a loner and unsociable."

Xiao Qi poked his head in and said, "So where are we going to visit?"

"Angry Clothes Tower."

"ah???!!!"

Gu Jiu looked calm, while Su Ying and Xiao Qi looked stunned, as if their jaws were about to drop to the ground.

Is this just escaping the tiger's den and entering the wolf's den?

No! They seem to be the wolves.

……

The news that Gu Jiu defeated Liu Wan in Baxue Liu Pavilion and did whatever he wanted quickly spread in the cultivation world.

Such news is naturally more frightening than the time when Gu Jiu single-handedly slaughtered two thousand soldiers.

After all, in their eyes at that time, Gu Jiu accomplished such a feat with the help of the old man behind him.

But this time was different. When Gu Jiu truly exposed his strength to the public, it naturally triggered a tsunami of heated discussions and panic.

If Gu Jiu's age is not fake, he should be considered the youngest saint in history?

And he’s still a man!

Such a thing is naturally like a depth bomb, which will bombard the entire cultivation world and even the entire Tang Dynasty.

The appearance of Gu Jiu will undoubtedly affect the idea that "men are not good enough" which has been deeply rooted for thousands of years. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a major shock.

The fact that Gu Jiu dared to display his strength in front of the world in such a high-profile manner has already shown that he has no reservations.

It can be said that he is not afraid of women, especially those in Galan City.

Gu Jiu had been afraid of the empress, Liu Wan, and Taohua An, but when he saw the empress cut a mountain with one sword, he became even braver.

It was not because he felt that he was stronger than the Empress, but because the Empress's feat aroused his competitive spirit.

Human evolution often begins with this kind of competitive spirit, and the competitive spirit of Gu Jiu, who was originally extremely lazy, started when the empress cut off the mountain with one sword.

Afterwards, he punched the national teacher Jing'e, uprooted Taohua Temple by himself, and obtained another page of scripture fragments. Both his physical condition and mental will were at an unprecedented peak state, which prompted him to do whatever he wanted in Baxue Liuge today.

If Gu Jiu's popular headlines were previously snatched away by the Empress's "One Sword Breaks the Mountain", then after today, the Empress's "One Sword Breaks the Mountain" headlines will probably be snatched away by him again by his "Defeats Liu Wan".

Gu Jiu and the empress have never actually fought each other, but they have fought for several rounds in terms of public opinion.

After this day, some disharmonious factors emerged within the Tang Kingdom. Some honest men suddenly dared to resist and curse, and some even ran away from home to practice.

The trend of men roaming the martial arts world that Gu Jiu had started before died down because the male heroes were usually beaten by female bandits. But now Gu Jiu has come up with a more powerful wave. I wonder how many ignorant young men will be locked up in the underground dark room for roaming the martial arts world.

Many people were panicked by this change and naturally criticized Gu Jiu harshly, saying that he was a disaster and had corrupted the morals of the Tang Dynasty, and that people's hearts had changed since then.

There were even many scholars who bitterly criticized Gu's ninety-eight major crimes and the adverse impact he brought to the entire Tang Dynasty, and these stories were widely circulated.

For a time, those who liked Gu Jiu were fanatical, while those who disliked Gu Jiu even wanted to curse him to death.

However, Gu Jiu didn't care about these changes that could have been foreseen long ago, because those who made the most noise were keyboard warriors. When he really stood in front of them, they probably wouldn't dare to say a word.

Rumors and public pressure are nothing to him.

People say it's hard to be a celebrity, but he doesn't think so.

Not only because he is strong enough, but also because he never lives in the eyes of others and only lives for himself.

If you rely on yourself or your own people for everything, you will naturally not be kidnapped by other people's ideas.

There were heated discussions about him outside, but in the carriage, Gu Jiu was relaxed and comfortable.

He is on vacation now, and the next stop is Nuyi Tower.

Naturally, more and more spies followed their carriages.

After discovering that Gu Jiu was behaving very kindly, the spies couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, although Gu Jiu was "kind", they were still cautious. After all, this was the person who had killed someone else's hall master in Ba Xue Liu Pavilion a few days ago and got away with it.

Such a character is naturally a devil in their hearts. If the other party is unhappy one day, they may suffer a terrible disaster.

Among them were spies and veterans. Some of them, after getting drunk, even cried to their colleagues about how Gu Jiu knocked her down and how Su Ying stripped her clothes and hung her on a tree.

After this, the image of Gu Jiu as a devil became more prominent in the minds of these spies.

However, the ones who are most uneasy now are not these spies, but Nuyi Tower.

They received information that Gu Jiu did not go back after leaving Ba Xue Liu Pavilion, but instead got closer and closer to them.

My goodness, how could such a good thing happen?

Hua Ningfeng, who had not yet recovered from the series of news, had a lot of deeper wrinkles on her face these days.

In the North today, no one wants to be an enemy of Gu Jiu, but she seems to have a grudge against this young man.

Chapter 23 Falling in Love with a Wild Horse

In the afternoon, the sky was clear and the air was fresh.

There is a bamboo forest on the outskirts of Baishi Town, and outside the bamboo forest there is a tea shop.

The teahouse is ventilated on all sides, and there is only a thatched shed with a few tables and benches for travelers to rest.

At this time of year, there are no other scenic spots here except that it is close to Nuyi Tower. In addition, the north has been in turmoil recently, so there are naturally not many travelers. But even so, the tea shop is still open.

Because only in this way can we barely make ends meet.

The old woman who runs the tea shop works very hard, which can be seen from her frosted face.

Gu Jiu and his two companions stopped their carriage and prepared to drink some tea and bask in the sun.

In Gu Jiu's words, since they were going to visit Nuyi Tower, they naturally had to go there at mealtime.

Lunch was over and dinner was not yet here, so they had just enough time to bask in the sun.

To be honest, although the carriage of Baxueliu Pavilion is comfortable, there is still a sense of oppression after sitting for a long time.

After seeing Gu Jiu and the other two get off the carriage, the old woman first showed a relieved smile, because guests finally came, and then she was a little surprised.

She was surprised not only by the appearance of Gu Jiu and Su Ying, but also by Xiao Qi's flat chest.

Gu Jiu and the other two did not sit in the straw hut, but moved a table and pulled out a few benches and placed them outside.

They drank tea and basked in the sun, feeling warm all over.

The tea is not a good one, it is a bit astringent and has a lot of residue, but it is very thirst-quenching.

They drank bitter tea and basked in the sunshine, feeling truly comfortable.

It won't be long before the good weather in the north ends, and the cold winter will follow.

Although Gu Jiu could keep his body warm in winter and cool in summer, he usually did not do so.

Because he still likes to maintain this most basic feeling, which not only makes him sensitive to the environment, but also allows him to experience different feelings.

Time is a line. Some people live a dull life, with every day being a repetition of yesterday. They only experience one or two things before dying. However, some people have much richer experiences and cannot recall them all before they die.

When he first came to this world, Gu Jiu once thought that he would be the first type of person, because he really liked the feeling of lying down forever, but reality unexpectedly turned him into the second type of person.

Over the years, especially after entering Qingliu Academy, he has experienced a lot.

Any one of these things would seem like a story to others.

Today, Gu Jiu is a story, and is even gradually becoming a legend.

The waves of the long river of time are so fierce that they seem to be able to swallow everything in the world. However, there are always some people whose brilliance you can still see even after a long time.

Such people are often legends, fables, and stories told by storytellers, passed down from generation to generation.

The empress would undoubtedly be such a person, and Gu Jiu might be too.

But so far, it's just a possibility.

He no longer has the empire of an empress, and his background is as weak as paper. In the eyes of many people, he is not an unbreakable existence.

A genius that dies young is no longer a genius, and a legend that dies young is no longer a legend.

Today, Gu Jiu has revealed his edge to the world. He seems to be in great glory, but also extremely dangerous.

What is scarier than ghosts and gods is the human heart, and what cannot stand others doing well is also the human heart.

Most of the stones outside Baishi Town are white. There is a dry river not far from where Gu Jiu and the others are sitting, and the river is paved with these white stones.

These stones appear very clean under the sunlight, and together with some green plants in the distance, they form a very nice scenery.

Most of the scenery in the north is desolate, and it is great to have such scenery.

Originally, the old woman was very happy that Gu Jiu and the other two came to the teahouse. After all, they had guests. If the other party was generous, she would have dinner tonight. But at the same time, she was a little depressed.

Because there were more people standing not far away on the other side of the river, but they just didn't come over.

This group of people were naturally the spies who had followed Gu Jiu before, and there were hundreds of them.

Originally, Gu Jiu walked along the main road and entered the town. They could have barely concealed their identities by dressing up as different characters, but this place was so remote that there was no village or shop nearby, and there was not even a big tree.

So, they were immediately exposed to the sunlight and to the sight of Gu Jiu and the other two.

Spies are very averse to not being disguised, so at this moment these people standing there are quite embarrassed, not knowing whether to retreat or advance, and they just feel like they are not wearing any clothes.

The old lady was watching this large group of "businesses" not coming over from the other side of the river. How could she not be depressed?

The old lady was also very smart. She soon realized that the group of people were afraid of her three guests. Knowing that she was not destined to get rich, she could only sigh.

You know what, these spies on the other side of the river look quite funny now.

Some of them dressed up as Taoist nuns, some as Buddhist nuns, some as fishermen, and some as businessmen... When these diverse people gathered together, they looked like a group of opera performers.

Gu Jiu and the other two were drinking tea there leisurely, while they were nervous on the other side.

At this time, Gu Jiu took a sip of tea, looked towards the other side, and shouted: "Who has melon seeds, peanuts, etc.? If you have any, bring them over and you can follow me. If you don't have any, get out of here."

After hearing what Gu Jiu said, the spies were instantly furious and started to raise money for melon seeds and peanuts.

Not long after, a large group of nuns came over with a bunch of peanuts and sunflower seeds.

After placing these things on the table, the Taoist nun quickly bowed to Gu Jiu and the other two, then ran away with a red face.

Gu Jiu ate a few melon seeds and found that they tasted pretty good, and he immediately showed a satisfied smile.

After seeing this scene, the spies on the other side of the river couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

These spies are considered veterans in this line of work, but none of them has ever tracked a person to this extent.

After sitting outside for a while, Gu Jiu felt a little sleepy, so he got on the carriage directly.

Seeing that the old woman was working hard, Su Ying gave her a silver note, which made her so happy that she almost jumped up.

After seeing Gu Jiu and the other two get on the car, the spies couldn't help but start talking again.

Two women and one man staying in a carriage for so long naturally aroused a lot of imagination.

If these spies lived in modern times and were paparazzi, they would probably come up with more than ten headlines immediately after seeing this scene.

Gu Jiu never cared about these things.

For example, now he fell asleep on Xiaoqi's thighs.

After seeing this scene, Su Ying rubbed her nose and sat down.

She was thinking about a question: if she fell in love with a man like Gu Jiu who was as unrestrained as a wild horse, she had to be jealous every day, and the object of her jealousy was her own apprentice.
