Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

The food in the settlement is too expensive and tastes bad.

So Gu Xing went to the pub instead of the restaurant.

In a place like this where you have to face life and death every day, wine is naturally indispensable.

And there are naturally no shortage of taverns.

But the most important thing is that the tavern is the most suitable place to inquire about information.

Just order a glass of wine, sit in the corner with some side dishes, and listen to other people's nonsense while drinking.

No matter how much what they say is true or how much is exaggerated, it is indeed the most convenient way to understand the current situation.

"Alas, the third child is injured again. I don't know when this blood mist will recede."

"It would be better to retreat later. What I have gained during this period will probably bring my strength to a higher level."

"..."

"Are you still going tomorrow?"

"Take a day off and go back the day after tomorrow!"

"..."

"Don't be sad, Lao Liu has already made up his mind."

"Come on, have a drink."

……

There was all kinds of news in the tavern, and Gu Xing was like an outlier, hiding alone in the corner and listening quietly.

But at this moment, a figure stood in front of him.

Gu Xing raised his head warily, and then he saw a round egg... Oh no, it was a bald head.

The bald man held a bottle of wine and raised it to him with a smile.

"Do you mind if I sit here?"

"Mind." Gu Xing's face was expressionless.

"Uh..." The bald head's expression froze, and the wine bottle he was about to put down stopped in mid-air.

At this time, Gu Xing emphasized again.

"There are seats over there, you can go there."

But the smile returned to the bald man's face at this time, and he sat opposite Gu Xing as if he hadn't heard what he said.

At the same time, he asked curiously.

"Brother, where is your cow? Is it sold?"

Gu Xing looked up and gave him a strange look.

The bald man seems to be paying too much attention to the cow.

But he didn't pay attention and talked nonsense casually.

"sold."

"boom!"

The moment Gu Xing finished speaking, the wine bottle was poured on the table, and the crystal wine spilled, flowing on the table and soaking the clothes beside the table.

But the bald head didn't pay attention. He stared at Gu Xing and asked.

"Who did you sell it to?"

"I don't know." Gu Xing said casually.

"What does it look like?" he continued to ask.

This time Gu Xing didn't answer. He put down the wine glass in his hand. Then Gu Xing looked at the bald head in front of him leisurely and asked.

"Why do you care so much about my cow?"

The bald head seemed to realize that he was overreacting. He took a deep breath, subconsciously leaned forward and retracted, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"My wife hasn't eaten beef for many years, and there is no beef for sale in this settlement. I just happened to come across it, and I wanted to buy it for her."

Gu Xing didn't care about the truth or falsehood of his words, he just said "Oh" lightly, then picked up the wine glass again, put it to his mouth and sipped it gently.

The bald man was a little panicked and said.

"Brother, can you tell me who you sold your cattle to? I will pay you."

As he spoke, he took out a few banknotes from his arms, placed them on the table, and handed them to Gu Xing.

Gu Xing pushed the banknotes back.

"I really do not know."

Seeing Gu Xing's expression of indifference, the bald man sighed and took back all the banknotes.

Then, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute." Gu Xing called out to him.

The bald head turned around in surprise, and then listened to Gu Xing's expressionless expression.

"Your wine."

"..."

Baldhead left.

Gu Xing didn't care, as if he didn't care why he deliberately came to find him.

There are many taverns in the settlement, but if you can find this location accurately, it is not easy to find the bald one.

However, he didn't know that he left Chen Erniu in the room, which meant that he probably didn't follow him, but found his location through other methods.

If this is the case, then he should be able to know quickly that Chen Erniu was not sold by Gu Xing.

Therefore, he should come to see me again soon.

So, should we hide and avoid?

Gu Xing sipped his wine and gave up the idea.

It is forbidden to kill people in settlements. Although many people will not care about this rule, the rules here can also make people feel at ease.

Just like now, even if the bald man has thoughts about himself, he can't do anything to him on the surface.

As for the mysterious realm in the dark, Gu Xing can detect it as long as it is not too powerful to resist.

So, no longer thinking about the bald head, Gu Xing continued to listen to all kinds of news in the tavern.

After drinking until the evening, Gu Xing packed up and returned to the inn.

Although what he heard were not very important things, it also gave him a sufficient understanding of the current situation at the South City Gate.

At this time, the blood mist has completely enveloped the area outside the south city gate.

People inside the pass cannot leave through the south gate.

However, the blood mist was successfully blocked outside the city gate.

Of course, this obstruction is only temporary.

Once a strange corpse controlled by the blood mist breaks through the city gate, its power will soon spread.

This is the case with the blood mist that appears behind Zhennanguan.

However, they did not break through the defense of Zhennan Pass, but sneaked in from some weaker places, taking advantage of their status as soldiers.

The Zhennan Army didn't know how the blood mist did it, but they noticed and responded to this situation as soon as it appeared.

Although it was still a little late in the end, at least the blood mist did not successfully break through to the territory of Dazhou.

Among those words, what surprised Gu Xing was that in this war against the blood mist, it was not the Zhennan Army that played the biggest role, but the practitioners.

Although the Zhennan Army held the city gate and resisted the invasion of blood mist.

But the large number of strange corpses in the blood mist were all eliminated by the practitioners.

To this end, they suffered heavy losses, but also gained a lot.

It is said that their overall strength has improved a lot compared to before.

That's about all the news he heard. Gu Xing couldn't hear the hope of leaving, so he could only think about his next plan.

He also thought about going out to fight those weird corpses.

But after thinking about it, I felt that there was no need to take the risk.

Those practitioners are doing it for money and resources.

Gu Xing may have some shortcomings in precious resources, but he doesn't have to worry about wealth.

As long as you give him time, he can refine enough magic weapons to make money.

Then, he would have to stay in the settlement and wait for a while, he thought.

It was already dark, but the streets were still filled with lights.

Gu walked under the light and headed towards the inn.

However, just when he reached the inn, he suddenly stopped.

In front of him, the bald forehead was a little dazzling, reflecting the floating firelight.

Seeing Gu Xing appear, a smile finally appeared on the bald face.

"Brother, you fooled me!"
