Gujiabao is built on a mountain, and the south is an endless plain.

Because it is rumored that there are immortals in the family, the general secular forces are not willing to provoke easily, and the Gu family is extremely strict with the clansmen, not allowing them to participate in secular power, so there has never been an external crisis, after hundreds of years of operation of the clansmen, Gujiabao has a very large scale, covering an area even comparable to the border town of Ju country. It's just that most of them are mountainous parts, and they are also forbidden places in the clan, and only the core members of the clan can enter and exit freely, and most of the clansmen live in the plains in front of the mountains.

Deng An and Chen Youzhi's goal is naturally the forbidden land of the Gu family.

Chen Youzhi knew almost everything about the mountain behind Gujiabao, and the two ghosts found a delicate small valley without much effort, and the concentration of spiritual power in the valley was slightly higher than that in other places behind Gujiabao, presumably because of the cultivation of spiritual grass. There are several stone chambers built near the mouth of the valley, and there is a cave in the mountain wall at the back.

"Mayor Chen, this is the Gu family's elixir garden?"

"Yes! I've probed many times before, and I've heard the people mention its name myself. Chen Youzhi was very sure of this, and pointed to the cave on the side and said: "That golden-eyed brown-haired dog lives in the cave at the mouth of the valley, we need to be careful, its hearing is excellent, it is easy to identify the whereabouts of our meditation, I have suffered a secret loss." ”

The two ghosts unconsciously slowed down, trying to keep parallel to the night breeze.

In the cave at the mouth of the valley, a brown spirit beast lay quietly. It resembles a regular Shiba Inu in appearance, but is on the larger side, similar to an ordinary farming cow. Because it is as easy to domesticate as ordinary hunting dogs, the Xiao Xiuxian family often uses it to watch the family nursing home.

Suddenly, the spirit beast seemed to hear some abnormal movements, and suddenly opened its eyes with red light, jumped up from the ground, and quickly jumped out of the cave.

"Whew", a low bark resounded in the valley mouth.

"Damn! This beast was determined not to let Lao Tzu sleep, and screamed in the middle of the night for three days in a row. Little three, little four, you two just go out and have a look, I won't go. ”

In what seemed to be the largest stone room, a large man's rough voice was heard.

Immediately, the lights lit up in the two smaller stone chambers on one side, followed by a few low complaints of dissatisfaction. Two sturdy young men in their thirties, carrying a lantern in one hand and a bright steel knife in the other, walked out of it.

"Hey, when is he leaving? I heard it's next month. One of them nodded in the direction of the largest stone chamber and whispered to his companion.

"Like, I'm not sure. Let's go, the sooner the better, I really can't stand him! Originally, guarding this elixir garden was one of the few good errands in the clan, but it turned out that this guy was on the stall, and you and I were unlucky. The other said softly.

"I really don't know why the previous patriarch took in this person with a foreign surname, wasting the immortal fate in the clan in vain, this guy is so delicious and lazy, he is also worthy of being an immortal?"

"Forget it, let's stop talking. He is also an immortal, in case he is heard, we will not be able to eat and walk around, and we will inevitably be severely punished. ”

After a few words, the two walked to the cave where the golden-eyed brown dog lived. As soon as I turned around a few stone chambers, I saw a huge background disappearing into the darkness.

"Huh, why did the golden-eyed brown-haired dog run away? As soon as the two of them wanted to shout a warning, they felt that the world was spinning, and then they fell to the ground weakly, unconscious.

On the hillside north of the exit of the Gu Family's Elixir Garden, Deng An stared at a golden-eyed brown-haired dog in the distance who was feasting on it, and he was quite speechless in his heart. Although the golden-eyed brown-haired dog is a little greedy, it must have its strengths if it can be selected as a spirit animal to guard the home, but I didn't expect this golden-eyed brown-haired dog to take the bait so easily.

The trip went surprisingly well.

Deng An and Chen Youzhi arrived at the mouth of the valley, first threw a few wild animals in the distance, and then came to the side of the cave where the golden-eyed brown haired dog lived at the mouth of the valley, and the two ghosts took out a cyan stone that emitted spiritual power from the stone niche several people high without much effort.

According to Chen Youzhi, the cyan stones are the scraps of the spirit stone mine, and when they are placed according to certain rules, they can form a small magic circle, which is used to limit the range of movement of the golden-eyed brown haired dog, as long as one of them is taken at will, this magic circle will become invalid. Due to the fact that these spirit stone scraps needed to be replaced frequently, Chen Youzhi had followed a core member of the Gu family for a period of time, and finally found five locations, and this one was the easiest to obtain.

The formation was broken, and the two ghosts went their separate ways.

Deng An quietly approached the burrow of the golden-eyed brown-haired dog and threw a pheasant near the entrance of the cave. The golden-eyed brown-haired dog heard the movement and immediately ran out. It swallowed the game in one gulp, and then barked to alarm several Gu family members who were guarding the elixir garden.

Deng An hurriedly threw another pheasant at the gap in the circle, and then quickly retreated. The golden-eyed brown-haired dog, though it smelled something else, was tempted by the game, and thought it had sounded the alarm, so it ran to the gap in confidence.

Under the same method, the golden-eyed brown-haired dog is getting farther and farther away from the valley mouth.

When the two guards came out, all they could see was its vague back. However, as soon as they wanted to wake up the other clansmen, they were stunned by Chen Youzhi.

When Deng An led the spirit beast over a small mountain bag, the game they had prepared before was also exhausted, because it was still early before Chen Zhi's appointment, Deng An had to show up and use the simplest way to deal with it. This place is far away from the residence of the Gu family, even if you make some big noise, you don't have to worry about being discovered.

The golden-eyed brown-haired dog ran out of food, and finally realized Deng An's existence.

Compared with ordinary monks, the golden-eyed brown-haired dog's vision in the night is very good, and its red eyes quickly locked Deng An's position.

"Whew", after a low bark, the golden-eyed brown-haired dog showed its fangs that flashed with cold light.

Deng An stared at the spirit beast in front of him, that is, he did not retreat, nor did he take the initiative to move, his task was to drag this spirit beast and prevent it from returning to the cave where he lived.

The golden-eyed brown-haired dog didn't have this patience, it only knew that the ghost in front of it was the enemy, and then its forelimbs bent slightly, and its hind limbs kicked hard, struggling to pounce on Deng An.

Deng An didn't dare to go head-to-head with it, this kind of large-sized spirit beast was generally rough and thick-skinned, and compared with its strength, it would definitely not take advantage. He then turned into a dark cloud and passed over the side of the golden-eyed brown-haired dog, thus confusing it to a certain extent.

After the golden-eyed brown-haired dog pounced in the air, his body paused slightly, and he turned around quickly and pounced on Deng An again. With his flexible body, Deng An led it to run all over the mountain. When there is a crisis, a ghost fire will be condensed, and the pressure will be relieved by attacking. Ghost fire can burn the vitality of living beings, and after a small loss, the golden-eyed brown-haired dog became extra cautious, although its attack power was stronger than Deng An's, but there was no good way to solve the battle immediately.

......

More than 20 miles away from Gujiabao, an old man with white hair and white beard sat on a fan-shaped magic weapon and flew slowly, whenever the speed dropped, it would inject a spiritual power into this magic weapon, this person was the current patriarch of the Gu family, Gu Jinsong, I don't know what the reason was, he actually returned to Gu Jiabao in advance, and his face didn't seem very happy.

Half an hour later, Gu Jinsong collected the fan-shaped magic weapon and landed in front of the largest building behind Gujiabao, he was about to step forward and push the door, and was immediately discovered by a secret sentinel. The man jumped out of the shadows with a long sword in his hand.

"Who!? would dare to trespass on the forbidden land of Gujiabao. ”

When this person saw that the person who came was the patriarch, he was taken aback, hurriedly collected his weapon, and obediently got out of the way. He saw that Gu Jinsong's face was iron, obviously very unhappy, mistakenly thinking that it was caused by himself, and he was worried in his heart, but he didn't see the other party scolding.

Gu Jinsong had held back his anger before, and it was not good to mess with the secret whistle, and it was his duty for the other party to stop him, so he didn't say a word, and pushed the door directly.

Gu Jinsong's return was noticed by another Gu family Qi cultivation period cultivator, and he quickly walked out of the cultivation room and greeted him: "Third brother, what's going on? Why did you rush back so early? Isn't there still four or five days to go?"

"Don't mention it, Wang Yiping's old puppet deceived people too much, relying on himself to be a foundation building monk, and there was a ghost gate behind him, helping Wan Jia to talk everywhere and go against the old man. ”

When Gu Jinsong was talking to another person, he had already entered a meeting room, and another monk lit the lamp in the room with a flame the size of a soybean.

"Forget it, the matter has come to this point, more than ten lower-grade spirit stones are not enough to cause too much damage to my Gu family. The three longevity flowers in the elixir garden are in the flowering season, and if necessary, they can be exchanged for some spirit stones to make up for the loss, and some immortal cultivation families are still very concerned about the lifespan of important people in their clan, and they are definitely willing to exchange spirit stones. It's just that once the news of the longevity flower falls into the ears of the mortal emperor, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble to the family, and this matter needs to be considered in the long run, trying to make those families who buy this flower keep it a secret. ”

"It's all up to the third brother to decide. ”

"By the way, Zheng Yi has been honest for the past two days, right?"

"That's not true, since the third brother punished him to go to guard the elixir garden, he hasn't done anything out of line. This month's penalty period is also approaching, and he needs to be assigned a suitable position at that time, and he can't be left idle anymore, and he may cause some big trouble next time. ”

"You think about it for a while, and then tell me. Senior Brother Zheng's talent is better than that of you and me, but it's a pity that people are too lazy, since his father sat down, he has less constraints, so he doesn't work hard to cultivate, and mixes with a few scoundrels in the clan every day, but Rao is so, he has now reached the fourth level of Qi training, and he is likely to be the pillar of the Gu family in the future. ”

The two discussed some trivial matters in Gujiabao again, and then returned to their respective residences. The monk's energy is far beyond that of ordinary people, and he does not need to sleep, just meditate.

Gu Jinsong entered the cultivation room, and was about to meditate and rest, when he inadvertently glanced at a jade plate placed on the table, and when he saw the location of the light point above, he couldn't help but change his face greatly, and exclaimed: "Why did the golden-eyed brown-haired dog leave the magic circle!"
