Longqiao water house.

Gu Wen did not return to the mansion, but came to the place where he usually worked. He had a small courtyard here. Although it only had one bedroom and one living room, and there was no rockery in the courtyard, it was the place where he spent most of the night.

The mansion is too big, there are many people and many eyes, everything needs attention, and it is difficult to escape if something happens.

Gu Wen is relatively insecure. He prefers small rooms and an environment where it is difficult to be caught if he sneaks into an alley.

It's just that there is no place for the guards to live here.

Looking at the relatively simple residence, and then at the Datongpu where the watermen lived, these young soldiers all had a somewhat ugly expression, which was almost directly visible on their faces.

But they couldn't let Gu Wen go back to the palace, because this was the arrangement of the palace, and it was the order of the Xian family.

Gu Wen said: "This is very close to Longqiao. You can go to Longqiao to stay. If anything happens, I will ask someone to find you. If you feel bored, you can go to the gambling house to play some games."

The leader of the personal guard still has some professional qualities. As the leader, he will undoubtedly have to bear more responsibilities. He hesitated: "I'm afraid there is something wrong with this. After all, we have a mission."

"Just leave two people here to show off to the palace."

"But we can't let individual brothers work. Let's go and have fun."

The leader of the personal guards became even more moved.

Gu Wen suggested again: "We can take shifts."

"That makes sense."

The guards once again went to Goulan to listen to music, shoulder to shoulder, leaving behind two unlucky guys with sad faces. They must be of lower status among them.

Gu Wen thought in his heart that wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Most of the guards are from the Forbidden Army and have served as soldiers for the Zhao family for generations. However, in some families, someone is the commander, and in some families, they are just the top soldiers all their lives.

It is naturally not worth it to be under his command. He has no need to develop his power, but he can win over and obtain internal information about the royal guards and changes in the imperial army.

Gu Wen stood in front of the two of them and asked with a friendly smile: "What are your names?"

"Subordinate Qin Mian (Rong Leng)."

The two spoke in unison, looking at Gu Wen with eager eyes, showing respect and yearning for the powerful.

"I'll help you two later."

Gu Wen patted them on the shoulders, chatted for a while and left without saying much. It would be bad if the wooing seemed too deliberate.

Winning people's hearts is just like pursuing the opposite sex. It is always attracted, and you will only take the initiative when you are desperate. A real hunter waits for his prey to come to his door. If the prey does not take the bait, it means it is not his target.

It was already evening, and still no one came to take over. Qin Mian, Rong Leng, and Qin Mianrong looked extremely ugly, but they could only continue to stand guard.

Gu Wen came out of the house and chatted with the two men for a few words and learned that their backgrounds were very shallow. They were not even members of the Bianjing Forbidden Army for generations, but fierce soldiers who had been mobilized for meritorious service in the frontier army.

He encouraged them a few words, and then left two heavy coins, twelve taels per person, which was their salary for three months.

"Thank you for your hard work."

The two of them were stunned for a moment, then the depression on their faces disappeared, they smiled happily and bowed their hands and said, "Thank you, Marquis Wen."

Marquis Wen is really considerate!

------------------

After a stick of incense, the sun sets in the west.

Gu Wen stood in front of the Longquan Well in the center of the water house.

The mouth of Longquan Well is five meters wide, with a bluestone exterior wall. The uneven stones are covered with moss. A large bucket large enough for two adults hangs from it. An iron chain connects the large wooden bucket to a wooden crane, also known as

windlass.

Four seven-meter-long beams and columns overlap each other above the wellhead, and the iron chain is connected to the well pulley on the right. An adult can lift a weight of 500 kilograms by relying on it.

This well is Gu Wen's main means of making money.

The water in the well is deep, with several silver-white fish emerging. From time to time, you can see an old turtle swimming. The old turtle was released to prevent someone from poisoning, and the fish is native to the well itself.

It is probably connected to some underground river, or it may be the water vein in Fairy Yu Hua's eyes.

Gu Wen took a look at the sky and estimated the time in his heart. It would be a while before the sun would completely set.

Wow!

Suddenly the water in the well became agitated and more fish came up.

"Has this happened before?" Gu Wen asked the oldest waterman beside him, and he replied: "There have been fish swimming upstream at this time of the year."

Visions that have occurred in the past year.

Gu Wen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he focused his true energy into his eyes, hoping to get some clues.

In his eyes, the well water suddenly turned into seven colors.

"Bring up a bucket of water."

He ordered immediately.

Wow!

The big wooden barrel fell and splashed huge water, which also scared away the fish in the water, and the seven colors in it were also fished out. When Gu Wen took a closer look, he found that only a thin layer of this color was floating on the water.

Like an oil film.

But it is indeed shining brightly.

The expressions of the watermen around him did not change, and they were obviously invisible.

Gu Wen took a spoon and took a sip of tea. His life was shaken, and at the same time, the true energy in his body began to become active.

The reason why the true energy is active is that the well water does contain spiritual energy, which is helpful for spiritual practice, but the destiny will not respond to the spiritual energy, which means that there is also a special substance in the well water.

Looking at his destiny, he was stunned. This time it turned out to be...

【Emperor Jelly】!

Although the quantity is very small and it has not reached a unit yet, I still know how to obtain it.

After taking two more sips, the colorful substance disappeared, and the commotion in the well also completely disappeared.

The imperial jelly is still about one-third short of reaching one unit, and the scarcity of the quantity is disappointing. But considering that if you can drink it every day, you will have 20 units in a month.

As for the purpose of the Emperor's Serum... his fate moved slightly, and bits and pieces of messages came, which should have turned into something he could understand. But this time, for some reason, it became erratic, distorted, and blurry.

In other words, in Gu Wen's own knowledge, there is nothing particularly suitable for the use of imperial pulp.

His understanding of the Heavenly Essence is empowerment, but his understanding of the Imperial Essence is just a jade pendant.

Stone jade pendant, his family heirloom.

It is immortality, which means that the function of imperial jelly is immortality. The distortion and blurring this time is probably because I no longer have immortality.

But besides family heirlooms, where else can I go to find my destiny?

Gu Wen suddenly lost interest. He had never regarded retrieving Xianyuan from Zhao Feng as his ultimate goal. If conditions did not allow him, he would give up. Because the risk was too great, he would put it on hold temporarily.

Another half an hour later, Jiang Fugui sent the second batch of medicinal fruits, a total of one hundred pills, which were also uneven.

Deduct 2,000 taels from the deposit of 8,500 taels, leaving a balance of 6,500 taels, which is enough to obtain the Tianmui for two years.

[Second Year of Heavenly Essence]

The bright moon is in the sky, and the Dragon Bridge across the river is bustling with activity.

Gu Wen sent away the only two remaining guards, and they left very simply without any benefit. This was also a kind of statement.

He returned to the room in the small courtyard and meditated with his eyes closed, adding a sip of Longquan water from time to time to speed up the progress. Although it was better than nothing compared to Tianmui's enlightenment, one more point was still good.

------------------

Under the bright moon, a beautiful shadow that is even brighter than the bright moon floats into the courtyard.

Yu Hua walked into the house and suddenly felt a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from inside, and his face looked a little surprised.

You must know that the Immortal Land is imprisoned by the number of days, and moving spiritual energy here is like moving a mountain, so if you want to practice, you must have the Taoist foundation. And there is an aura that pulls the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from inside the house, indicating that it is the most difficult for the descendants of the surname Gu to become the Sanqing Sect.

The Yuqing Daoji is at least of high quality and perseverance, able to endure the confinement for many days to practice.

Yu Hua recognized his perseverance, and he was so tenacious that he could say, "Heaven will give great responsibility to this man." It was precisely because of this sentence that she had always paid attention to Gu Wen.

A person who has been deprived of his immortal destiny still maintains his determination to move forward. A person who has experienced hardships still treats the world with kindness.

Why.....

The elders in the sect did really ugly things.

Yu Hua decided to mention the descendants of the Gu family again. Even if he had to seek karma from the Sanqing Sect in the future, the Sanqing Sect would still owe him.

She walked to the door, stretched out her hand and knocked gently on the door.

Boom, boom, boom.

For a long time, there was no response from the room, but the spiritual energy fluctuations disappeared.

Gu Wen opened his eyes with a look of shock and uncertainty. Who in his right mind would knock on the door in the middle of the night?

Boom, boom, boom.

Yu Hua knocked on the door again, but there was still no response, but some subtle noises came from the house. She suddenly had a bad feeling, and then a thought came from her mind.

'Thirty-six strategies, taking action is the best strategy.'

Bang!

The door of the room was pushed down, and Yu Hua only saw a figure climbing out of the window, with faint veins appearing on her forehead.
Chapter completed!
