Chapter 42: Encountering a Beauty on the Road

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Wang. This little girl will never forget the kindness of Fellow Daoist Wang in saving his life. She is willing to be a slave to report your great kindness." Zhao Zhao'er actually said such a thing.

Gu Changhuan obviously did not expect that Zhao Qi'er would say such a thing. He frowned, "No need, I'm used to being alone. Fellow Taoist is safe now, just do what you want."

After saying that, Gu Changhuan jumped onto the back of the Barbarian Bull Beast and prepared to leave.

Zhao Qi'er was stunned by Gu Changhuan's incomprehensible charm.

"Fellow Taoist, wait a moment. The little girl has something else that she would like to ask for help from."

Gu Changhuan looked at her but did not ask.

"The little girl just hopes that Wang Daoyou can take the little girl to the nearest city to avoid the pursuit of the black clouds and twin evil spirits." Zhao Zhao'er said quickly.

"As long as Fellow Daoist Wang is willing to help, this little girl can tell Fellow Daoist Wang the location of an ancient cave!"

Ancient repair cave! Gu Changhuan was thoughtful.

"Come up and sit together!"

Fortunately, this bull beast was very big, and he didn't want to get too close to someone he didn't know.

The bull beast looked back at his back, and Gu Changhuan patted its big head.

"Let's go!"

"Miss Zhao, is the ancient cave dwelling you mentioned true?"

Gu Changhuan stared at Zhao Qier closely, as if he wanted to judge the truth of this statement from her expression.

Zhao Qi'er's face turned red when he saw it, and then he didn't know what he thought of, and his expression suddenly turned sad.

"The little girl is a casual cultivator, with low cultivation and unspectacular appearance. She is the most inconspicuous existence in the Jiuqi Mountains. The little girl is weak in strength and does not dare to hunt monsters. She can only look for some older ones in the barren mountains and dense forests. Gao's medicinal materials were sold in the market in order to obtain resources for cultivating immortals. But one day, the little girl made a desperate move to avoid a monster and unexpectedly discovered an ancient cave!"

Gu Changhuan nodded, which seemed reasonable. Many monks discovered ancient caves or secret realms accidentally. This kind of thing depends on opportunity and cannot be forced.

As for her appearance, this girl is really modest.

This Zhao Ji'er ranks among the top five female cultivators he has ever seen. Of course, it may also be because he has not come into contact with many female cultivators.

Zhao Qi'er is a female cultivator of the Xiaojiabiyu type. Although her complexion is now pale due to injuries and loss of spiritual power, her beauty has not been compromised at all. It's even a bit touching.

It's a pity that Gu Changhuan didn't value beauty in his two lifetimes.

"The little girl was overjoyed at the time, thinking that her opportunity had arrived. But the ancient cultivator's defensive formation was still functioning, and it was not something that the little girl could break by herself. After returning in vain, the little girl planned to invite a few people she was familiar with. My fellow Taoists, we will visit the ancient cave mansion another day.”

Hearing this, Gu Changhuan looked at Zhao Zhao'er with a strange look.

This Zhao Qi'er wouldn't have invited that Black Cloud Shuangsha to hunt for treasures together, right?

"The little girl only invited three fellow Taoists in total. Because she is most familiar with fellow Taoist Jia and trusts his character, she only invited him, a late-stage qi-training monk. The little girl thought she had done a good job of keeping the secret, but I don’t know how the news reached Heiyun Shuangsha’s ears.”

"Heiyun Shuangsha is a monk with a fierce reputation for seizing treasures. One is at the sixth level of Qi training, and the other is already an eighth-level master. They set up an ambush on the road. Fellow Daoist Jia fought hard against Yunsha, who was at the eighth level of Qi training. The other two fellow Taoists were both She died at the hands of Hei Sha. Even the little girl’s life depends on fellow Taoist Jia.”

"It's a pity that Fellow Daoist Jia's two fists can't defeat his four feet. Although he injured Yun Sha, he was also seriously injured and died. If he hadn't met Fellow Daoist Wang, I'm afraid the little girl wouldn't have been able to escape the same fate."

Zhao Ji'er looked sad. Judging from her previous behavior, she must have a crush on that "Jia Taoist Friend".

"According to what Miss Zhao said, the two evil spirits of black clouds set an ambush on the road. Have they ever asked to go to Guxiu Cave to hunt for treasures together?"

Zhao Qi'er was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Gu Changhuan to ask such a question.

"That's not true."

After Gu Changhuan asked this question, he didn't speak again and didn't know what he was thinking.

"My little lady promises that as soon as she gets to Fangshi, she will tell the Taoist friends the truth about the location of the ancient cave." Zhao Zhao'er was afraid that Gu Changhuan would leave her alone, so he quickly promised again.

"What kind of realm does Miss Zhao think the owner of the Ancient Xiu Cave Mansion should be?" Gu Changhuan asked tentatively.

"The little girl once activated the first-grade high-grade golden knife talisman to attack the formation. The golden knife talisman ranked among the top three among the first-grade attack talismans. Even so, the formation did not change at all. So the little girl guessed that the cave mansion The master should at least be a master of foundation building," Zhao Qier replied.

Gu Changhuan had a guess in his mind. If what Zhao Zhao'er said was true, it should be the cave of Ji Zhu or the ancestor of the Zi Mansion. He would not know the specific situation until he saw it.

At night, Zhao Qier said that there were many monsters active at night and suggested that they stop and rest. Gu Changhuan went out by himself for the first time, so he followed her advice.

At night, Gu Changhuan lit a fire and rested against the bull beast. Zhao Qi'er meditated next to the fire to recover his spiritual power.

Nothing happened all night.

After a night's rest, Zhao Yaner's complexion improved a lot. Just when the two of them were about to set off, a hidden weapon came out from behind Gu Changhuan and shot towards him!

Just when the hidden weapon was about to hit Gu Changhuan, the jade pendant around his waist emitted a burst of green light, protecting Gu Changhuan.

Gu Changhuan seemed to hear the sound of jade breaking. He looked at the jade pendant at his waist and saw that it had cracks and was dull.

Gu Changhuan was furious. This jade pendant was a gift from Gu Wanhao on his seventh birthday. He had always cherished it. How could he not be angry when it was broken like this!

Little did he know that the Black Cloud Twins who were hiding aside and firing their hidden weapons were also secretly surprised.

Who is this kid? He even has a protective magic weapon! Their employer didn't say where this person came from. Could he be a member of a certain family? Never mind. People die for money and birds die for food. If they could kill this kid, his storage bag plus the employer's reward would surely be enough for them to enjoy themselves for a while!

It's no wonder they didn't recognize Gu Changhuan. Gu Changhuan's casual clothes when he went out didn't have the family emblem. The Barbarian Bull Beast was only recently used by family disciples, so most outsiders didn't recognize it.

"Don't come out yet, do you want me to invite you out?" Gu Changhuan said coldly, looking at the bushes not far away.

The Black Cloud Twins saw that they had been exposed, and walked out one after the other.

He had seen the black-faced man before. Yunsha was a middle-aged monk dressed like a scholar. He looked a little pale. He had a kind face but a fierce look in the corners of his eyes.

When Zhao Pin'er saw the two, she unconsciously took a half step back.

The two groups stood on both sides of the fire last night. For a while, they were quiet.

Gu Changhuan had many magic weapons, but he was dragged down by a third-level Qi training. Both Heiyun and Shuangsha were injured. If they really fought, it would be hard to say who would win.

"Boy, I know you have a lot of treasures, but if we really fight, you may not be the opponent of my two brothers! Why don't you hand over the storage bag. We brothers are only seeking money. As long as you hand over the storage bag, we are willing to let you go!" The black-faced man spoke first.
