Chapter 931 The Human World

The white-haired old man was startled, and just as he was about to speak, he saw that Li Da suddenly lowered his body, and he melted like a burning candle, and turned into a pool of water in an instant. The water seeped into the ground and disappeared in an instant. The old man was startled when he saw this, and suddenly came to his senses.

"Oops! I was fooled!"

Before he finished speaking, he disappeared!
At this time, the monks who were chasing the people returned and saw the people in the convoy lying on the ground.

"Hey... there is the presence of an adult here. The adult was here just now..."

Then he saw that there were only two peddlers left, and they seemed to understand something.

"Let's go back to the city!"

The monks flew away, but fortunately before leaving, they were kind-hearted and waved their hands to release the restrictions on everyone in the caravan. Then everyone in the caravan stood up. They were immobilized in the front, but they were not deaf or blind, so they naturally saw what happened here. The leader did not dare to say much, and led everyone on the road with a pale face, but he did not dare to let the two peddlers get on the car, and hurriedly drove the carriage away!

The remaining two peddlers looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What do we do now?"

"Li Da and Wang Er are both fake. They might still be in the city. Otherwise... let's go back to the city first!"

The two men stood up, one carrying two large bags, and staggered toward the city...

The caravan over there was frightened this time and feared that the Immortal Master would come to cause trouble again, so they did not even dare to rest on the road and drove the carriage very fast. They did not stop for a rest until dark and rushed all the way to the next small town. After entering the city, they found an open space, stopped the carriage, set up tents and settled down.

The caravan was silent along the way, traveling day and night. Ten days later, they arrived at another big city. After the caravan owners delivered the goods, the leader divided the silver and said to everyone,

"My dear brothers, thank you for your help on this trip. We will say goodbye now. We will meet again in the future!"

Everyone here bowed to him and said goodbye, and drove away in their carriages. Only one coachman was left waiting on the side. The leader jumped on the carriage and drove it to an inn. When he entered the room, the leader sat down and poured tea while saying,

"This city should be the territory of Qinghong Sect. They may not be able to enter the city even if they chase after us. We can rest assured..."

The guy shook his head and said,

"We are too close here. We need to be more careful..."

It took them a lot of effort to escape from the city this time, and it was also thanks to the fox's superb illusion skills. The monster in front was actually transformed by the fox using a handful of old horse's tail hair. The aura of the monster was genuine, and it successfully led away several monks. And the four traveling merchants who came after them were actually all fake, and the four real people were still sleeping soundly in the inn in the city!
The fox also took the hair of those four people, and added illusions. It not only deceived the low-level cultivators, but also the cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage!

As for Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan, they did not use any illusion, but the art of disguise, concealing their aura and blending into the convoy. It is not certain that the two of them could hide from the eyes of the cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage, but the old man was first attracted by the monster and then diverted by the four traveling merchants. He ignored the leader of the convoy who was rushing in the front, which allowed the two of them to escape by luck.

Of course, the two of them also had a backup plan, and asked the king to sneak under their convoy. If they found anything wrong, they would immediately drag the two of them underground and then escape into the secret realm. However, if that was the case, the spatial fluctuations would surely not be hidden from the cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage. But then it was not known what means the other party could use to intercept them. Space magic weapons were also rare in this world, so it would be best if they were not exposed!
The next day, the two pulled the carriage to the market to sell it, and found a place to transform themselves into a couple. They found a broker, bought a house, and lived in the street. Only then did they feel relieved!

"This city is bigger than the previous one. There are at least 200,000 households living here. The population is diverse. Even a high-level monk would have a hard time finding it, right?"

Gu Shiyi, who transformed into the husband, looked up and down at the shabby courtyard. Such a courtyard actually cost one hundred taels of silver. The housing prices here are really expensive!

Pu Yanlan, who had transformed into his wife, smiled slightly and said,

"If you plan to live here for a while, then you can fix up this small courtyard and find a way to make a living!"

Gu Shiyi smiled and said,

"We haven't lived in the world for many years. I used to sell snacks on the street!" This time he didn't hawk his wares on the street. Instead, he bought a shop and started a medicine shop. Pu Yanlan transformed herself into a doctor, and Gu Shiyi was her ugly and loud wife, who helped make medicine in the shop every day. Although she was ugly and fierce, she was nimble and strong. A woman could do the work of three or five big men. On the contrary, the young Doctor Pu from Pu's medicine shop was fair-skinned, gentle, and spoke in a gentle manner. He had two dimples when he smiled, and he could also treat patients, which attracted the young girls and wives on the street, whether they were sick or not, to go to the shop to have Doctor Pu touch his hand.

There was a kind-hearted lady who secretly advised Doctor Xiao Pu,

"Your wife is too ugly. It would be better if I could find you a concubine. My niece from my mother's family lives in a small town one mile away. Her family has ten acres of land outside the city. It doesn't matter if she is a wife or a concubine. As long as she gets married, she can get three acres of land as a dowry... Aunt, although my niece is not stunningly beautiful, she can still be called pretty and cute. She is better than your wife... If you marry her, your wife can still manage the shop as usual, and your concubine can stay in your room to warm your bed. Isn't it a good thing?"

Doctor Xiao Pu laughed when he heard this.

"I wonder how old is your niece?"

The lady smiled and said,
"She's already 23. This... this child is so good that her parents have been reluctant to let her marry off..."

Doctor Xiao Pu smiled and said,

"Why don't you discuss this matter with my wife..."

After saying that, he pointed behind the lady. The lady turned around and saw Doctor Xiao Pu's tall, strong-waisted lady with big spots on her face, blowing air at her with her nostrils from behind!
The old lady was startled and stood up to smile. Mrs. Gu from the Pu family chuckled and poked the cabinet with a pestle in her hand. With a crack, a big hole was poked in the cabinet made of poplar wood. Mrs. Gu laughed at her and grabbed the old lady with her palm as big as a palm leaf fan.

"Come on, come on, Auntie, let's go and propose marriage to your niece now. The two concubines my husband had before were too weak. One of them died after I slapped her twice, and the other one died after she fell down just because I asked her to wash my feet... She couldn't even hold the hot water. Let's go and marry another one to my husband..."

The old lady was shocked when she heard this and waved her hands quickly.

"No... no need, I remembered it wrongly, my niece has already promised to get married... promised to get married!"

After saying that, he ran away like the wind. Even though his niece had pockmarks all over her face and couldn't get married, it was better than marrying into this family. If she entered this family... she might not survive even three days!

As she ran, Mrs. Gu chased after her, shouting,

"Auntie, let me go and see if your niece can take a beating. If she can, we'll give her more betrothal gifts!"

The more she shouted, the faster the lady ran. Within a few days, rumors about the vicious wife of Doctor Xiao Pu spread everywhere. Young girls and wives from several streets knew that Madam Gu was not easy to mess with, and no one dared to flirt with Doctor Xiao Pu in secret under the pretext of seeing a doctor!

In this way, the couple cured diseases and saved lives in this city, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years passed. Doctor Xiao Pu's hair had turned white, but his wife was still strong and powerful. However, they had no children, but they accepted several apprentices. After the apprentices became masters, Doctor Xiao Pu often took his wife out of the city to collect herbs, sometimes for three days, sometimes for one or two months, and later they simply didn't come back for a year or two. However, the name of his medicine shop had already spread, and his apprentices had learned the true skills, so the people in the city were still very convinced!
It is also said that twenty years later, Madam Gu, who had always been healthy, suddenly fell ill one day and passed away within two days. Doctor Pu was so sad that he also passed away a few days later. The disciples sadly held funerals for their master and his wife, and the medicine shop was inherited by the eldest disciple. However, the Pu's medicine shop was passed down. Many years later, the people in the city still missed the handsome and gentle Doctor Pu when they talked about him!

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan left the city and said with a smile,

"It's been a rare leisure time in these years. I've experienced all kinds of life!"

Pu Yanlan also nodded and said,
"I have entered the world to cultivate my mind. I have learned a lot from curing illnesses and saving lives over the years!"

If we were to say who has the most understanding of the various aspects of life, it would naturally be doctors. They have seen a lot of people curing illnesses and saving lives. There are those who, from wealthy families, refuse to treat their children and wait to divide the family property. There are also those who are penniless but still kneel down and beg for treatment for their relatives. There are also those greedy people who refuse to pay for minor illnesses and let them develop into serious ones. There are also those cowards who complain without any illness and want to see a doctor every day whether they have something to do or not!
Pu Yanlan sighed,
"People in this world are of all kinds and natures. Love, hate, resentment, worry, fear, and shock are all suffering!"

Gu Shiyi laughed and said,

"You are observing the various aspects of the human world, but I am trying to find out about the various sects here. Our city is under the jurisdiction of the Qinghong Sect, and there is also the Chixia Sect, the Dankui Sect, and the Shangxian Sect, which are the top three sects in the evil way. As for the Wanchun Sect, as you mentioned, it is an alchemy sect..."

The two of them had discussed it and decided that they were just hiding in the mortal world in order not to attract attention. When they were about to overcome the heavenly tribulation, they would have to return to the world of cultivation!

This world is rich in spiritual energy and has many sects. It is impossible to find a spiritual vein that is not occupied by anyone. If they try to occupy it by force, they might cause a big commotion. After thinking about it, they decided that it would be better to find a sect to become its disciple and practice in it so that no one will notice their difference!
