The chivalrous spirit is fickle

"A hundred years later, someone built a city here and built a dock. It gradually prospered and became the Huiyin City we know today."

At this point, Kang Xi's face changed slightly. He had guessed something. He looked up at the huge golem and said in a trembling voice.

"Brother, are you saying that...the monk Huiyin back then...was actually the Great Lord?"

Pu Hui nodded slightly, squinted her eyes and smiled, and said.

"Yes, the heroic deeds of Monk Huiyin seven hundred years ago were just a play directed and performed by the prince himself. His main body was in the ancient city, but he sent an incarnation here."

"He became the savior of this place and was worshipped as a golden statue."

"The Maharaja has already calculated everything. This place is in an excellent location. Several water routes can be shortcut here. A big city will definitely be built in the future."

"As the prince expected, this place has indeed become a great city, and the temple has been popular for seven hundred years."

Pu Hui turned towards Kang Xi with some excitement and said tremblingly.

"Junior brother, seven hundred years of faith and worship, do you know how powerful this is?!"

"Once the great king is resurrected and re-created into a physical body, it will be an impeccable golden body. What will happen if all the gods are reborn at that time?"

"Since seven hundred years ago, the Great Lord has been destined to become the only master of this world. This brilliant world will finally welcome its true savior, and will no longer have to suffer this cycle of reincarnation."

Kang Xi was shocked and a little excited, but then he became confused and couldn't help asking Pu Hui.

"Brother, since the Great Lord has made all these preparations, why do you want me to spread the evil thoughts?"

Pu Hui chuckled, straightened his chest and raised his head.

"This is of course done for others to see. It's just a bait, the so-called repairing the plank road in the open, but secretly marching through Chencang."

"As long as you do a good job, no one will ever think that this Huiyin Temple is the key to the Great Lord's resurrection."

Kang Xi suddenly realized and stopped asking questions, but Pu Hui frowned and said.

"However, the Maharaja asked you to come here tonight for another matter."

"The prince told me in a dream that a very troublesome guy came to Huiyin City and was investigating the prince's resurrection."

Kang Xi didn't care and waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter. The people from the Marana sect have agreed to cooperate with us. We also have people in the five major sects. Who else can find out anything in this city?"

Pu Hui shook his head and said solemnly.

"Don't underestimate the enemy. The prince attaches great importance to that person. He even said that he feels very dangerous. He must be eliminated as soon as possible to prevent future troubles."

As he spoke, Pu Hui came forward and whispered in Kang Xi's ear.

"This man's name is Shen Zhui, and he claims to be from the Yulin League."

"What? It's him?"

Pu Hui was curious and couldn't help asking.

"Junior brother, do you know this person?"

Kang Xi said with a strange look on his face.

"Brother, you have been away from the martial arts world for too long. Although I have never seen this person, I have heard of his name."

"Oh, is this person difficult to deal with?"

"It's difficult. He has the Yulin League behind him, but I will find a way to handle it."

"Then I'll trouble you, Junior Brother."

……

A few hours later.

As daybreak approached, a light drizzle began to fall on the street and lasted until dawn.

Gu Yibai opened the shop door early, sat in front of the counter, listened to the sound of rain, and ground the herbs that had been dried yesterday into dust. He had white hair and smelled of herbs. He looked like just an ordinary old man.

No one could have imagined that he would be an elder of Medicine King Valley, let alone that this small shop would actually be a property of Medicine King Valley.

Gu Yibai no longer had the high-spirited vigor of the elders of Medicine King Valley. Having lost his power in the sect, he became depressed and dejected. The fact that he was sent here to be a shop owner was proof of Medicine King Valley's attitude towards him.

But after so many years, Gu Yibai has long been accustomed to this kind of life. Without fine wine and delicious food, and without power to fight for, his temperament has improved a lot.

"Store."

Just as Gu Yibai was grinding the herbs, Shi Gu rushed into the shop in the drizzle and spoke bluntly.

"Shopkeeper, I want a Dragon Tiger Pill."

Gu Yibai was stunned when he heard this and looked at Shi Gu in surprise. Dragon Bone Pill is one of the famous medicines of Medicine King Valley. How could this person know that this is the industry of Medicine King Valley?

"Shopkeeper, give me a Dragon Tiger Pill."

Shi Gu repeated his request again. Gu Yibai came back to his senses and said to Shi Gu with a frown.

"My dear, I don't know how you know this place, but although this Dragon Tiger Pill sounds like an aphrodisiac, it is actually very dangerous to take."

"After taking this pill, you can improve your true essence, but it can also easily breed inner demons in people. You should think twice."

Shi Gu sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He was hit by the big demon's palm, and the blood in his body surged. Although it was not a serious injury, it would be faster to take a dragon-tiger pill than to recover on his own.

But Gu Yibai in front of him reminded him to be careful about his inner demons.

Shi Gu waved his hand casually and said to Gu Yibai.

"Don't worry, I don't have any demons."

Gu Yibai felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he heard this.

Oh no, it's obvious that he has a strong inner demon. Otherwise, how dare he say that he has no inner demon? Do you eat garlic without adding garlic?

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yibai put down the herbs in his hand and invited Shigu to sit in the hall. After brewing a pot of good tea, he looked at Shigu with pity and said.

"Kid, eat whatever you want these days."

Chapter 36 Questions in the Rain

The sound of the raindrops brought a hint of coolness, and the hot tea on the table was steaming, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

Shi Gu looked at the raindrops outside the house, smiled helplessly, walked to the table and sat down, picked up the teacup, blew gently, and said to Gu Yibai.

"Old man, do you think I already have a demon in my heart?"

Gu Yibai had a gentle expression. Years of suppression by Yaowang Valley had made him no longer as aggressive as he used to be. Instead, he looked more like a real doctor.

Gentle, humble, and saving lives.

"My child, the path of cultivation is like a single-plank bridge. It is not easy to walk on. I don't know how many people have fallen because of their own inner demons."

"It's not shameful to have inner demons."

Shi Gu took a sip of tea, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled.

“But I don’t think I have any demons.”

Gu Yibai shook his head repeatedly, wondering how this young man could be so stubborn, but he still spoke patiently.

"The inner demon is a barrier in the heart. Is there anyone in this world who has no regrets and nothing he cannot do?"

"I want to ask you, what do you want to do at this moment, or what are you preparing for in your future life?"

"Tell me what you want to do and what you want."

Shi Gu was stunned when he heard this. He held the teacup in silence for a long time, then slowly put it down. He turned to look at Gu Yibai and said seriously.

"Honestly, I don't know what I want to do now. I just want to live like this and go with the flow."

"Eat, drink tea, sleep, and live a peaceful life every day."

"If someone provokes me, I will beat him up. If someone does something I don't want to see, I will also beat him up. If he goes too far, I will kill him."

Shi Gu said this very seriously, and he really thought so. Just live like this, free and carefree like a fool.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yibai frowned and advised.

"You young man, how can you just want to eat and wait for death at such a young age? In life, you have to make a name for yourself in the end."

"Especially for a warrior like you, you should think about becoming a ninth-grade master and becoming an innate."

"As the saying goes, people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places."

Shi Gu's eyes flickered slightly. He raised his head slightly, listening to the soft sound of rain outside the house. His expression was gentle, yet a little lonely, and he whispered.

"I got those things many years ago. There is nothing I want in this world a long time ago."

"Fame, status, power, they are of no value to me."

Gu Yibai was amused by Shi Guqi. This young man was really shameless to say such words. However, thinking that he couldn't teach a mentally ill person a lesson, he patiently asked back,

"Since you are so amazing, is it true that there is nothing you want in this life?"

After thinking carefully for a moment, Shi Gu slowly raised his hand. His palm was a little pale. His palm, which should have been full of calluses, was now empty.

"A long time ago, I was thrown into a hellish place. At that time, I just wanted to survive, and then I really survived."

"Then, I met my master. At that time, I wanted to live a normal life and live like a human being."

“I think I did it.”

Shi Gu turned his head and looked at Gu Yibai. His eyes were deep, as if they were a bottomless pit with no end. His voice was still calm, but it sounded a little hoarse.

"But my master died. I wanted to avenge her, but I found that I couldn't find anyone to avenge."

"People say her death is a noble cause, but I only know that the person who cared about me the most in this world is dead. She will never be able to call my name again, open her eyes, or look at me even once."

"She died, but I lived, so I wanted to live like her."

"After she died, I helped everyone I met and did things I would never have done before."

"I want to tell everyone in this world that she taught me very well. She is the best teacher in the world."

Shi Gu recalled some of the sects that he had destroyed in the past and couldn't help but sigh.

"But the process was not smooth. I had some small disputes with some people, and it was not easy to convince them."

"I didn't do very well, I had a bad temper, and I was probably a bit rude most of the time."

Gu Yibai didn't say anything, as he had already regarded Shi Gu as a madman who had gone astray.

Shi Gu didn't know what Gu Yibai was thinking. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He just continued talking to himself.

"I have experienced the ups and downs of life. Now, there is really nothing I want to do."

"I just want to walk around and take a look. If I see the road is uneven, I'll go and pave it. If I see the mountain is too high, I'll climb up and step on it a few times."

"I want to just eat and wait for death, but I don't want to really die, so I need to heal my wounds."

Gu Yibai smacked his lips, pinched his fingers together, and a ball of fire formed. He leaned towards Shi Gu, lit up Shi Gu's sleeves, and said.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Shi Gu looked at the burning cuffs without panicking. Instead, he looked at the burning flame quietly. After a moment, he spoke thoughtfully.

"Old sir, what you mean is that prosperity is just a flame after all, and after it burns out, only ashes will remain?"

Gu Yibai shook his head and pointed at the small flame and spoke seriously.

"I mean, you'll die if you don't blow it."

"..."

Shi Gu's mouth twitched, and then he blew out the fire. He looked at his burnt sleeves and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Gu Yibai stood up, walked to the medicine cabinet and started searching, while speaking slowly.

"Young man, you are such a boaster that you have disrupted my thoughts. I just want to ask you one question: why did you come to Huiyin City?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Gu said calmly.

"Initially, I wanted the prizes of the Martial Arts Convention, the Phoenix Branch and the Dragon Rock. These two items might be useful for my injuries."

"But now, I still have to do some work to slay demons and save the people in this city."

Hearing this, Gu Yibai was actually amused by Shi Gu. He brought a pill box, put it on the table, pushed it towards Shi Gu, and asked.

"Why do you want to slay demons? Are you a saint?"

Shi Gu was a little confused when he heard this. He turned to look at the old man and asked with a frown.
