Only me in the world is normal

"It can't be a fairy playing in the world, right?"

In the end, Gu Taihe could only guess like this.

He tried Xia Yanzhen secretly, but the other party didn't respond, nothing happened.

Obviously the strength is unpredictable.

It's not a demon, it's not a warrior, it's not a monk, and it can't be a ghost—ghosts are the most difficult to hide among these.

Not to mention "clearly visible" in the eyes of a monk like Fa Ming, there is nothing to hide in the eyes of a warrior like Gu Taihe.

Even for ordinary people, there are many ways to tell whether a person is a human or a ghost.

"Where are there immortals in the world?" Fa Ming shook his head, "The Peach Blossom Spring, your ship gang has been investigating for a few days, did you find anything?"

"No, it's just—"

Gu Taihe frowned and said hesitantly, "Why do I feel that the name Taohuayuan is a bit familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere."

"You think so too?"

"The master also feels the same?"

Seeing Fa Ming nodding solemnly, Gu Taihe frowned even deeper.

Where exactly is Peach Blossom Spring?
What is the origin of Xia Shishi who wants to find it?
All kinds of doubts shrouded the hearts of the two of them.

Right now, even if Xia Yanzhen suddenly told them that they would not look for Taohuayuan anymore, the two of them would not give up.

After thinking for a moment without answering, Gu Taihe looked at the gold bricks on the table, and said sourly: "He asked our boat gang to do something, but he didn't send such a big gold brick."

"Hahaha!"

Faming laughed loudly, "My Jinshan Temple is a place of pure Buddhism. It is different from your boat gang. If you hire different people to do things, of course they have different prices."

"I'll share half of it with you. I gave you the news about Xia Shishi." Gu Taihe said.

"No."

"Four percent."

"Not negotiable."

"Thirty percent, thirty percent! I've reached a critical point in my martial arts practice recently, as you know." Gu Taihe said.

When they cultivate and practice martial arts, it's okay when their realm strength is low, but when their realm strength is high, the resources they need to consume will increase a lot.

In particular, gold is needed as a precious thing to act as a "catalyst".

Otherwise, it will be difficult to improve the strength.

This is also the reason why Gu Taihe, Fa Ming and the others attach great importance to money and other yellow and white things.

Law, wealth, spouse, and land are all very important.

Neither Fa Ming nor Gu Taiqing can be those "Happy Immortals".

But gold is not completely without substitutes.

For example, Yaodan Yaoxue, and other warriors, monks, essence, and vitality.

The demon pill and demon blood are fine, but other people's energy, vitality... That's how the magic way came about, if you make a wrong step, it's hard to turn back.

Once discovered, everyone will be punished.

Gu Taihe and Faming are old acquaintances, if Gu Taihe sees such a big gold brick and does not respond, Faming will be worried.

Will this kid fall into the devil's way?

How can normal warriors and monks not love money?
The two bargained over the price, and finally Fa Ming let Gu Taihe share [-]% of the gold bricks, with a painful expression on his face.

Gu Taihe took the harvest and left happily.

Faming looked at the Demon Subduing Pagoda in the depths before the expansion of Jinshan Temple.

"Peach Blossom Spring, Peach Blossom Spring..."

Whispering a few words, Fa Ming walked towards the Demon Subduing Tower.

Seven days passed in a flash.

Gu Taihe found Xia Yanzhen as promised. He held a stack of papers in his hand and put them on the table: "Although we didn't find any news related to Taohuayuan, some suspected related ones are here."

Xia Yanzhen nodded and looked up.

Twenty miles to the north of the city, there is a peach garden, the owner of which is...

Peach Blossom Pond in the mountains west of the city.

In the city of Yuhang, there is a river called Taohua River, and there is a wine shop beside the river, which sells peach blossom wine.

There is a down-and-out scholar who grows peach trees in a small courtyard, and likes to paint peach blossoms and peach trees in exchange for wine money.

There is a little maid named Taohua in the Red Chamber.

In a certain family, the maids are called Peach Blossom, Little Peach Blossom, Peach Red.

All kinds of information.

Aside from those names, the places that may be related to Taohuayuan are probably Taoyuan, Taohuatan and Taohuahe.

As for Qinghu...

In the past few days, Tiamat has thoroughly investigated Qinghu.

Green Lake is much deeper than imagined.

The deepest place is more than 50 meters, and the average depth is about [-] meters.

However, the bottom of Qinghu Lake is not flat, not that bowl-shaped or funnel-shaped.

It should be said that on this basis, a large number of deep holes were poked out.

The existence of these deep pits greatly enhanced the depth and strangeness of Qinghu Lake.

Of course, this is for ordinary people.

For Tiamat, a sweeping search within the Green Lake is like coming home.

It's just short of plowing the bottom of Qinghu Lake completely.

Turning Qinghu upside down is a slightly later plan.

For now, focus on the information collected by Chuan Gang.

Xia Yanzhen stopped turning over the paper: "This is..."

The last record is not directly related to Peach Blossom Spring, Peach Blossom and the like.

It was a member of the boat gang who had an accident while inquiring about Taohuayuan.

There is a centenarian in the city of Yuhang Prefecture. In this era, he is no longer a rarity, but a human being.

Although I can't walk very well, I can still eat, sleep, and listen.

The memory is not bad, and I often sit at the corner of the street and tell some people about the past century.

Even the magistrate and the king of Han would call this old man with a smile as "Old X".

Then, the X old member of the boat gang asked him if he knew about the loss of Taohuayuan, and his reaction was extremely violent.

He howled loudly, his face terrified.

Before the member of the boat gang called someone and the neighbors were alarmed by the call, the old man convulsed and died suddenly.

It looked like he was scared to death.

This incident also caused some commotion.

After all, it was Yuhang Renrui who died—but at this age, it seems that it is not strange to die suddenly at the speed of light.

It's just a few inexplicable yells before death, which can be regarded as a flashback.

The old man has no other relatives, and the body is now in Yizhuang.

The gentry in the city waited for the auspicious day to hold a splendid funeral for the old man.

Also pray for good weather.

In the past few years, the water of the Qinghu River has often skyrocketed, and there is a tendency to flood, which is not a good thing for the prosperous Yuhang.

Jinshan Temple can be regarded as the only one that got a blessing in disguise, and the incense became more and more prosperous.

For the rest, even the life of the boat gang is not so easy.

"Yizhuang...Does Master Gu have a detailed map of Yuhang City and its surrounding areas?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"Of course there are maps."

Gu Taihe showed a merchant's philistine smile.

Xia Yanzhen didn't care, and touched some golden beans and went out.

He got a lot of gold in the mission world, and things that can be solved with "money" are nothing serious.

The boat gang is neat and attentive, and if they say they are looking for Taohuayuan, they will find Taohuayuan.

Xia Yan really spent this money very well, it was worth it.

Unlike Jinshan Temple, where a piece of gold brick was dropped, nothing could sink into the sea, and Monk Faming didn't react at all.

After two days, there was no movement, Xia Yanzhen said that he had to go to Jinshan Temple.

I'm throwing coins, but you can't take me for a fool.

Once you get the money, you have to do things.

If you don't do anything, not only will you have to return the money, but you will also have to pay a price.

You Jinshan Temple takes money and doesn't do anything, what should the boat gang do if they follow suit?
At that time, do you have to call the boat gang again?
It's better to kill you Jinshan Temple like a chicken.

Chuan Gang is not a monkey, but it can also serve as an example.

After getting the golden beans, Gu Taihe immediately blew a few whistles that sounded meaningful.

The two servants who guarded the outermost left one to get the map.

"Bangzhu Gu doesn't go there himself, isn't he afraid of being robbed?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

Maps are extremely important in this era.

If it wasn't for Xia Yanzhen being strong and rich, he really wouldn't be able to buy it.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xia. In Yuhang Prefecture, no one dares to blatantly snatch things from my boat gang." Gu Taihe smiled slightly, his tone showing strong confidence.

"Snapped!"

After a stick of incense, Gu Taihe was slapped by the void.

"What did you say?"

He squinted his eyes and looked at his subordinates who came back to report, showing the aura of the leader of a gang and a master of martial arts.

The hand was so pressed that he knelt on the ground, stammering when he spoke.

The map is gone.

was taken away.

Fortunately, the person who took the map was not an outsider, but the deputy leader of the boat gang.

As a map taken by his own people, Gu Taihe's cowhide is not completely broken.

"You didn't tell him that I want the map?"

"I said it, but...but, the deputy gang leader said, even the gang leader, you can't decide on such an important thing as a map, you have to discuss it carefully." The subordinate said bravely.

"presumptuous!"

Gu Taihe roared angrily, but did not let go of his raised hand.

He didn't lose his mind. This is the Tianzi No. [-] room in Qingyuelou, which currently belongs to the mysterious Mr. Xia.

Breaking things doesn't mean simply breaking things to show off your prestige, it's hitting Mr. Xia in the face.

"You go out first."

The raised hand turned into a waving gesture, Gu Taihe asked his subordinates to go out first, and then sighed to Xia Yanzhen, "Oh, Mr. Xia laughed at the internal affairs."

"With Gu's strength, do you still need a deputy?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

With Gu Taihe's strength, he should be incomparably strong in the boat gang, saying what he says and what he says.

Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister back then, so he didn't make trouble for himself.

It is even more unnecessary for Gu Taihe to get a deputy gang leader to cause trouble for himself.

"This deputy gang leader is actually not a real boat gang member." Gu Taihe said.

The deputy gang leader is called Xia Cong, and he is the brother-in-law and brother-in-law of Du Ru, the prefect.

Every prefect's "caring person" will serve as the deputy head of the ship gang, and everyone will develop together.

As a result, Xia Cong seemed a little confused.

The money that should be collected has been collected, and now Mr. Xia wants to get a share of the extra money.

"So that's how it is." Xia Yanzhen said, "Then I'll go to Yizhuang first, and then give it to me after Chief Gu gets the map."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xia. This matter must be handled properly and will not cause you any trouble."

Gu Taihe's face darkened slightly.

This made him lose face in front of outsiders.

If Xia Cong did not do it personally, what would the prefect Du Ru want to do?
The water in Yuhang Mansion is so deep, what a magistrate says doesn't matter!
Gu Taihe left.

Xia Yanzhen went to Yizhuang in Qingyuelou's carriage.

Just halfway there, there was a sound in front, and a group of young people riding horses and guarded by servants holding the reins stopped in front of them.

The leader was a young man with a pale face and a drunken look.

"I heard that there is another Mr. Xia in Yuhang City..."

Xia Cong was riding on the horse, squinting his eyes.
