Pushing the Three Thousand Worlds

Chapter 374 A Wolf That Doesn't Steal Meat, Only Vegetables (Two in One)

After getting the enlightenment Gu, Li Qiu lived in the inn with peace of mind, waiting for the day when the Silver Toad Sect would recruit disciples.

In the early morning, white mist pervades the town, and the wind from the mountains blows through the streets, bringing a little coolness.

Unlike Lintong County, which is located in the north, it is the season of heavy snow.

Ho'an County is located in the south, with a warm climate like spring all year round.

Li Qiu went downstairs, sat down in the lobby of the inn, and called the waiter to order a jug of wine and some side dishes.

After a while, a pot of good Qiulubai was brought up by Xiaoer, and side dishes with all kinds of color, fragrance and taste were brought up.

Li Qiu drank the wine slowly and started to eat. When he was about to finish eating, he frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.

He counted the dishes on the table.

The number of dishes was wrong, two dishes were missing.

He ate very slowly, it stands to reason that no matter how slow the cooking is, the dishes should be ready, why haven't they been served yet.

At this moment, someone in the lobby slapped the table and yelled loudly in dissatisfaction.

"Xiao Er, I'm almost done eating, why haven't my dishes been served yet?!"

"Yeah! Why are you so slow!"

"I came at dawn, and I waited for almost half an hour, and the food hasn't been served yet!"

Xiao Er rushed out of the back kitchen in a hurry, apologizing one by one.

"I'm sorry, we have some problems preparing the dishes in the back kitchen of our inn."

"Guest officer, I'm sorry, I will remember the dishes for today. Next time you come to our inn, we will cook for you and give away a signature dish for free!"

Xiaoer made an apology and a promise, which calmed down the dissatisfied guests.

Some guests also asked curiously.

"What's wrong with the preparation of the vegetables in the back kitchen? The people who bought the vegetables didn't get up?"

When Xiaoer thinks of this, he becomes very angry.

"Originally, today's vegetables were bought before dawn, but I don't know which damned vegetable thief got up this morning and stole all the vegetables!"

"The cook in the back kitchen just finished frying a meat dish, and when he turned around, he suddenly found that all the dishes were gone, only the meat was left."

Xiaoer opened his arms and gestured.

"This is really strange. This thief is really skilled. He was able to steal the vegetables without anyone noticing in broad daylight."

"Especially if you don't steal more valuable meat, you only steal vegetables."

There are exclamations of wonder from the guests in the lobby.

Listening to the conversation in the lobby, Li Qiu frowned thoughtfully.

"It doesn't sound like something ordinary people do. Could it be that the children of those Gu Dao families did it to feed Gu worms?"

"But can't you buy it with money?"

Gold and silver are nothing to the children of the Gu Dao family.

"Is it a child of the Gu Dao family that has declined?"

"But it stands to reason that with such a skill, can you steal food but not money?"

Li Qiu was puzzled, it happened that Xiao Er came to his table to apologize.

"Guest officer..."

Xiao Er was about to repeat the rhetoric he just said.

Li Qiu waved his hand to stop his words, and took out a small ingot of silver from his bosom.

"Take me to your back kitchen."

"Guest officer, who is this?" Xiao Er immediately smiled when he saw Yin Zi, but he was a little confused.

"This thief is quite capable. I want to see if I can find some clues to catch him."

Li Qiu responded casually.

"Guest officer, if you can really catch him, thank you so much, little one, please drink again next time, little one."

Xiao Er gritted his teeth when he thought of the thief who stole vegetables. That damn thief made him have to bend down and smile with every guest.

"The back kitchen is over there, guest officer, please follow me."

Li Qiu and Xiao Er came to the back kitchen of the inn.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiaoer slapped his head and suddenly remembered.

"Guest officer, there are still a few tables of guests upstairs who have not apologized. You can see for yourself, I won't accompany you."

Xiao Er quickly stepped forward and patted the back of the cook who was cooking, and gestured towards Li Qiu with his eyes, and after saying a few words, he left in a hurry.

"Guest officer, please go ahead, I still have some dishes to cook here."

The big-bodied cook wiped the sweat from his brow and apologized as he kept cooking vegetables in his hands.

Li Qiu said it was okay, then asked the cook a few words, and came to the corner where the dishes were originally placed.

There are some traces of soil here, presumably caused by the soil falling from the roots of the vegetables.

He inspected this area carefully.

After a while, Li Qiu saw the traces left on the soil, and his pupils shrank.

"This seems to be the paw print of a wolf...?"

Li Qiu's first life was a hunter, and he immediately recognized that it seemed to be the paw print of a wolf.

The paw prints of wolves are generally more similar to those of dogs, but the paw prints of wolves are much larger than those of dogs, and there are some subtle differences.

After some careful identification, he was sure that this was the paw print of a wolf!

How can there be wolf paw prints in the kitchen?

"It seems that my guess seems to be right."

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly.

After he felt that this matter did not seem to be the work of the Gu Dao family's children, another guess was born in his mind.

Could this be done by a wild Gu?
In other places, Gu is naturally not so easy to encounter.

But this Fuling town is close to the Yinchan sect, the master of Gu Dao.

The reason why Yinchanzong chose Wochanling as the sect's residence is because there are many Gu insects in this mountain.

Some Gu worms ran from Wochanling to the nearby Fuling Town. Thinking about it, it might happen.

He came to the back kitchen to confirm, which confirmed his conjecture.

Judging from the current information, it should be that a Gu insect got into a wolf's heart aperture, turned it into a Gu beast, and controlled what it did.

"It's just what kind of Gu worm is this? What kind of ability does it have?"

Although he knew some information about Gu Dao from Lin Yong'an, it didn't mean he knew everything about Gu insects.

As far as the Gu worms he knew, none of them could do this kind of thing.

"What kind of ability is that Gu worm, as long as you capture it at that time, you will know."

A gleam appeared in Li Qiu's eyes.

He can't stay here all the time, otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion.

The people in the small town are not afraid, they are only afraid of attracting the attention of the children of the Gu Dao family.

Before he released the news that he would exchange three-transformation bat Gu for one-turn opening Gu, many people secretly paid attention to him.

He stood up, pretending to have discovered everything, with a somewhat dispirited look, walked out of the back kitchen, and returned to his room.

Immediately afterwards, he began to use his hearing far beyond ordinary people, always paying attention to the movement of the kitchen.

If that Gu worm came to steal once, there would probably be a second time.

There are still a few days before the Silver Toad Sect recruits disciples, anyway, there is nothing to do for the time being, why not see if you can catch this Gu worm.

At that time, depending on what the ability of this Gu worm is, maybe it can be exchanged for a good cultivation technique.

Those children of the powerful Gu Dao family naturally dare not exchange their own skills.

But those descendants of Gu Dao families who have fallen, may not pay so much attention to Gu insects.

Two or three days later, Li Qiu, who was eating in the lobby, was distracted by the movement in the kitchen while eating, when he suddenly heard people talking at a few tables in the distance.

"I heard that a few days ago, old man Ge found a wolf in the vegetable field planted by his own family. He held up a hoe to beat it, but the wolf disappeared into the soil?"

"Where did you hear that, isn't it fake?"

"Old man Ge said that when he was selling vegetables on the street today."

"It's mostly made up by Old Man Ge."

"I think so too."

"But the way that old man Ge said it is true, it doesn't look like it's fake."

"That's because he was drunk and made a mistake. He wants to say that the wolf ran away. I believe it.

Drilled into the soil and disappeared? "

The man snorted disdainfully.

Several other people obviously didn't believe it, and didn't want to discuss this matter any further.

"What are you talking about, drink and drink!"

Li Qiu looked thoughtful, and then a haze flashed across his face.

He knew what the ability of that Gu worm was.

But it's a pity that he is probably not the only one who knows about the existence of this Gu worm.

Next, there may be many people waiting to catch this Gu worm.

"I can only hope that the Gu worm will be smarter and not be caught by those people."

A look of hope appeared in Li Qiu's eyes, he raised his head and drank a glass of wine, then walked upstairs to the room.

In the afternoon of that day, Li Qiu heard from the lobby that someone actually spent a large ingot of gold to buy Old Man Ge's dilapidated courtyard.

Afterwards, there was some treasure in that yard, and many people from outside the town were attracted to it, and they stayed around the yard, one by one, rich children in brocade robes, leaning on the wall to look in regardless of their manners.

Ge old man's dilapidated courtyard.

Before a vegetable field.

A table is placed on the ground.

Several people sat around the table, drinking tea one mouthful at a time.

"These people stay outside the courtyard, should we think of a way to drive them away?"

One of them glanced at the disciples of the Gu Dao family surrounded by low courtyard walls, and suggested with a frown.

Zheng Hong sneered: "If they want to guard, they will guard."

"As soon as that Gu beast appeared, I was able to catch it with the Gu Dao treasure on my body.

If anyone dares to fight against me, even if I use the Gu Dao treasure to kill them, what can the Gu Dao family behind them say! "

This small courtyard was bought by Zheng Honghua with an ingot of gold, and it is considered his place.

In addition, if he catches the Gu worms first, no matter who crosses the courtyard wall to snatch Zheng Hong, it will be unreasonable.

Even if Zheng Hong killed everyone, those Gu Dao families would have no reason to attack.

Of course, the most important point is that the Gu Dao family behind these people is not as powerful as the Zheng family behind Zheng Hong, and Zheng Hong is one of the few people with the highest qualifications in this generation of the Zheng family.

Give those Gu Dao families ten courages, and they dare not denounce the Zheng family and Zheng Hong when they are wrong.

After a pause, Zheng Hong sneered again.

"I can't even wish for them to make a move. If these people enter the Silver Toad Sect with me, the resources of the Silver Toad Sect will be wasted to them, why not give them all to me."

"Even if a thousand weak people are cultivated, it is better to cultivate one strong person!"

Hearing Zheng Hong's arrogant words, the Zheng family's children beside them had a little smirk and flattery on their faces, repeatedly saying that they didn't dare to refute in the slightest.

Zheng Hong glanced at a few people and thought to himself.

"Without that unsightly waste, I feel much more relieved."

For such an important matter as catching Gu worms, he would naturally not bring along Zheng Liang, that trash who didn't bow to him.

Zheng Hong has been leading the crowd to crowd out and ridicule Zheng Liang, because Zheng Liang has never bowed to him.

Among the Zheng family disciples who came to Yinchanzong together, even the few Zheng family disciples around him who had better aptitude than Zheng Liang, after knowing his innate five-aperture aptitude, all surrendered to him, expressing that they would use him in the future. Follow the lead.

Only the most cowardly Zheng Liang didn't, how could this not annoy him!

Bang!
The courtyard door was kicked open suddenly.

A group of people walked in swaggeringly, and then someone turned and closed the courtyard door.

A chair is placed at the other end of the vegetable field.

A slender and sullen man sat down on a chair, straightened the hem of his clothes, then slowly leaned back on the chair, looking at the opposite side with a rebellious expression.

Several people who came together stood behind him, looking at the other side with sneering smiles on their faces.

Seeing that the visitor was furious, Zheng Hong slammed the table and stood up.

"Yuan Tong, I bought this yard with an ingot of gold before."

Yuan Tong smoothed the wrinkled sleeves with his backhand, and he didn't even look at the furious Zheng Hong. It seemed that Zheng Hong was not qualified to be taken seriously by him, he said in a low voice.

"I know, but so what."

"This yard is mine, how dare you come in without my permission!"

Zheng Hong's face was so gloomy that he almost dripped water.

"When you say that, I realize that I shouldn't have done this."

Yuan Tong raised his head as if belatedly aware, and looked at Zheng Hong.

He paused, then continued with a blank expression.

"In that case, go to the Yamen and sue me. I'll wait for you here."

"you!……"

Zheng Hong was so angry that he almost overturned the table in front of him, sacrificed the Gu Dao treasure and hit Yuan Tong, but he still endured it.

Because the Yuan family behind Yuan Tong is stronger than their Zheng family.

Moreover, he is also one of the most qualified members of the Yuan family's generation, and the power of the Gu Dao treasure on Yuan Tong's body will never be weaker than him.

If he really wanted to fight, he might not necessarily be Yuan Tong's opponent.

There is no benefit in fighting right now.

I can only be patient for the time being, and when the Gu beast appears, I will activate the Gu Dao treasure and snatch the Gu beast first.

Facing an old man with a hoe, that Gu beast needs to escape, its strength can be imagined.

Presumably that Gu worm was born not long ago, and has just occupied the body of that Gu beast.

The strength of the Gu beast is negligible, it depends on who can snatch that Gu beast first.

In terms of power, the Gu Dao treasure he possessed may not be as good as Yuan Tong's.

But when it comes to speed...

The Gu Dao treasure tool he owns is called the Green Snake Cable, and what he is best at is surprise attacks and capturing enemies!
Zheng Hong pretended to be very jealous of Yuan Tong, sat down again with a cloudy face, but kept sneering in his heart.

"Yuan Tong, what are you going to grab from me!"

"I really want to see you seeing the Gu worm being snatched away sooner, and the look of despair!"

He has decided that although he should leave immediately after getting the Gu worm, he still wants to stay for a while.

Not for anything else, just to appreciate the expression on Yuan Tong's face that changed from ecstasy to astonishment when he arrived. That scene must be very interesting!
Both Zheng Hong and Yuan Tong are the most eye-catching existence among the children of the Gu Dao family who came to worship the Silver Chan Sect this time.

The news of the confrontation between the two spread, and some children of the Gu Dao family who didn't know about the appearance of a Gu beast in Fuling Town also knew about it.

After some inquiries, everyone learned that the Gu beast not only appeared in Old Man Ge's courtyard, but also appeared in other places, and they each occupied a place.

Prepare to sit on the sidelines and wait for that Gu worm to appear again.

　My glasses are broken and they slipped into the tub when I was running the water in the shower.

　　The layer on the glasses seems to be an anti-blue light film, which has been scalded, peeling off and mottled.

　　As a result, I feel like I am typing in front of the computer through a rain curtain. It is very strenuous, so I write very slowly. I hope everyone will understand.
