The inner city is large and brightly lit.

When he saw the bright lights in the night, Gu Xing was in a trance and thought he had returned to his previous life.

But Yuling's words brought him back to the present.

"Get in the car, the Taoist temple is still some distance away."

The group got on the bus and admired the prosperity of Yucheng through the windows.

Even though it was already dark, there were many people on the street, and snacks and vendors were all available.

And there were lanterns and colorful lights everywhere, as if they were celebrating some festival.

Everyone from the small village had never seen this before, and they all screamed in amazement.

Only Gu Xing was still quiet, but he also looked out the window, with firelight in his pupils, silently.

He was not amazed by the scenery in the city because he had seen better ones.

He was just curious.

There is no curfew in the inner city, and the lights are bright, and the lights seem to be just ordinary fires. How can they ensure safety?

No one answered his question, and the bronze chariot stopped after traveling a certain distance.

They came to the monastery.

The three of them led them inside. Along the way, they met many Taoist disciples who were still walking around at night.

They all seemed silent. Unlike outside the Taoist temple, the entire Taoist temple seemed to be enveloped in a sad atmosphere.

After a while, they came to a lobby.

There are many people in the lobby and there are many counters scattered around.

"This is the Dao Hall. Whether you are posting tasks or receiving tasks, you will be here. If you want to get points in the future, you must contact this place, so remember its location."

Yu Ling reminded kindly.

And then, the three of them took them to complete the task.

The person in charge of the Taoist Hall was a tall and thin middle-aged man. He looked at them with squinted eyes, as if looking at goods.

"Why are there two Grade A and one Grade B missing?"

Yu Ling said helplessly.

"Anyone who met Hongyue on the road was killed."

"Then you can still come back alive?"

"She must be a new member, and her control over weirdness is not too strong."

"Okay, I'll deduct the points that should be deducted, and you can confirm the rest."

"no problem."

"..."

After completing the task, the three people left.

Before leaving, Yu Ling said to Gu Xing.

"If you have any questions, you can come to Fu Yuan to find me. You can find out where I am by just asking anyone."

Gu Xing thanked him, but Yu Ling just waved his hand and left without looking back.

"Follow me." The thin middle-aged man didn't say much and went in one direction. The others looked at each other and followed silently.

The skinny middle-aged man was very fast, and many people even ran to catch him in order not to be left behind.

But you know, everyone is carrying a package, which is considered running with a heavy load.

Gu Xing followed more easily, but the others complained endlessly.

One of them looked thin and small, but after running for a while, he was out of breath.

Gu Xing gave him a hand to keep him from falling behind.

Because of this, the two fell to the end of the team.

"Thank you... thank you." He took a breath and then thanked him.

"Stop talking and hold on."

Gu Xing looked very relaxed, admiring the surrounding scenery while following the team.

The tall and thin man didn't walk long before he stopped in front of a courtyard.

But even so, everyone was still panting from exhaustion.

“No one is left behind, which is good.”

The tall and lanky man looked around, his eyes resting on Gu Xing for a while, and then returned to the front.

"This is Xinshengyuan, and it is also the residence for you freshmen. It is provided to you free of charge for the time being, but after one year, you will need to move out of here and find your own accommodation in the Taoist temple."

"Now, go in and choose a room by yourself. Note that the one with the sign has already been chosen."

After saying that, the tall and thin man left directly, leaving everyone looking at each other in shock, not daring to move for a moment.

Gu Xing walked in without hesitation.

The rooms were limited, first come, first served, and he didn't want to choose a cramped room.

As soon as he entered, the skinny little guy next to him also followed behind him.

The others looked at each other and saw someone was there first, so they followed in.

The courtyard is very large, with several buildings lined up, each building is two stories high.

There was a lake and a small forest next to Xinshengyuan. Gu Xing chose a building near the lake and walked over.

Seeing this, the others did not continue to follow, but gathered together to discuss something.

Only the skinny little guy looked at him, then at the group of people, and finally followed Gu Xing.

"I just... thanked you just now. My... my name is Roy."

Roy seemed a little introverted, but Gu Xing didn't care.

"Gu Xing." He said, and then asked, "They should be discussing living together. Why don't you go?"

Roy hesitated for a moment, then summoned up the courage to say.

"I...I'll follow you, Brother Gu!"

Gu Xing had no objection to his title and just smiled.

"Follow if you want."

So Roy happily followed him into the building.

The building is arranged like an inn, and many people are already living in the rooms on both sides.

Gu Xing went up to the second floor, where there were fewer people living there.

I found that the room at the end of the corridor was unoccupied, so I chose this one.

He likes airy rooms, and corner rooms have one more window than others.

Roy chose to live next door to him.

Opening the door, the room was quite large, with lights on, beds and other furniture, and even bedding and the like were ready.

Gu Xing checked and found that the bedding was all new.

There was a wooden sign on the table with an unknown pattern engraved on it. Gu Xing took it and hung it on the door.

Then, he started to pack his things.

There weren't many things, so they were packed up quickly.

Then he sat down at the table and started eating his dinner.

Of course, he didn't eat too much because he didn't know where the toilet was yet and was afraid he wouldn't be able to find it when the time came.

The tall and thin man didn't tell them anything, and they didn't meet anyone else after they came in. Until now, Gu Xing still knew nothing about this place except for a place to live.

But this does not prevent Gu Xing from taking matters into his own hands.

Of course, the most important thing is that there is a strange book, so you are not afraid of something strange approaching.

As for the people, Gu Xing didn't believe that the Taoist temple had put a lot of effort into sending people to bring them here just to cut their waists.

After finishing the simple meal, Gu Xing did not rest for the time being, but picked up the black iron machete and chose to go out.

There are lights in the corridors and courtyards, so there is no need to worry about lighting risks.

Then Gu Xing knocked on the door opposite.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Who?"

A dull sound came from the door.

"Hello, I'm new here today."

"The door is not closed, please open it and come in."

Gu Xing stretched out his hand, but subconsciously felt something was wrong, so he said.

"Isn't this not good?"

Then he listened to the room.

"I have some mobility issues, that's okay."

Hearing this, Gu Xing no longer hesitated and reached out to push the door open.

However, the moment he pushed the door open, his expression suddenly changed.

There is a reaction from the secret book!
