Chapter 197 Looking Back
Fang Xiao had also encountered guides in the Immortal City. He did not expect that even in the world of Gu Masters, this kind of industry could be born.
"I see. It's okay for me to hire you. If you can satisfy me, let alone two spirit stones, even doubling the amount won't be a problem. But if you can't satisfy me..."
As he spoke, Fang Xiao's aura as a third-level Gu Master was quietly released.
The moment he felt Fang Xiao's breath, Wang Wu's expression changed instantly, sweat poured down his forehead, and even the way he addressed him changed instantly.
"Don't worry, sir. If I cannot satisfy you, I will not accept a single spiritual stone, and I will leave myself to you to deal with."
Fang Xiao didn't say much, just nodded lightly, and then walked forward.
Wang Wu didn't dare to stay when he saw this, and immediately trotted after him.
"Wang Wu, are there so many people coming and going in this Chi Miao stronghold every day?"
Fang Xiao didn't even turn around and asked directly.
"My Lord, this is the main branch of the Chi Miao tribe. There are quite a few people who have lived here for a long time. People from the nearby branches also come here every day. It is the end of the month recently, and some branches that are a little further away usually choose to come here once at the end of the month to sell some local products and purchase some needed resources. Therefore, there will be more people than usual."
Hearing this, Fang Xiao was also calculating in his mind. Hu Xuan had collected a lot in just five days. Although he might have his own channels, Fang Xiao did not collect many spiritual materials, so he thought it should not be too difficult.
"Is that so? It just so happens that I need to collect some rare special spiritual materials. Do you know where the complete collection is available?"
Wang Wu was immediately delighted when he heard Fang Xiao's request. At first he thought it would be something tricky and difficult, and he was afraid that he would fail to do it and anger the senior in front of him.
"So you need some materials, my Lord. This is easy to do. We don't have to look at these stalls. We can go directly to Qingyuanzhai in the central city."
"Central City? Qingyuanzhai? Isn't it a bit too far?"
Flying is not allowed in the city. If Fang Xiao just walked over, it might not take long at his speed, but the Wang Wu he hired was only a first-level Gu Master, so it would probably take a lot of time for him to catch up.
"This is also simple. You can see the doorway of the building in the distance."
Following Wang Wu's pointing, Fang Xiao soon noticed a strange doorway in front of him, with stone steps leading directly underground, and people coming in and out from time to time, and no one stopped them.
“I saw what kind of building this is and what its function is.”
"Haha, sir, you don't know that there are countless underground passages in the Red Miao Stronghold, connecting all places. There is also a kind of Gu worm called ground-walking, which can be used for people in the city to travel. Don't look at this ground-walking worm as only the second level, but with the mutual blessing of various Gu worms, its speed is not slower than that of the third level Gu worm at all, and it only takes half a spirit stone to ride it around the city. If there is a stop along the way, you can leave or change at any time. This is unique to the Red Miao Stronghold, and the other eight tribes cannot do it."
After Wang Wu finished his explanation, Fang Xiao immediately stopped moving forward, with a look of shock on his face.
"Oh my god, who would have thought that after traveling through time, I would be riding the subway in the Gu Master World? The person who could come up with such an idea is truly a genius."
"Sir? Sir, do you think we should walk over and see what we have along the way, or just ride this ground-walking insect and go to the station where Qingyuanzhai is located?"
Wang Wu was used to seeing Fang Xiao stunned. Every time he brought in outsiders, no matter what their identities or strengths were, they would be shocked by this thing.
"Now that I'm here, I naturally want to experience this unique way of traveling. Let's go and see what it looks like down there."
Then the two of them walked down the stone steps from the doorway until they entered the underground passage, where they saw four Gu Masters guarding the exit.
"Sir, after paying the spirit stone here, you can ride freely as long as you don't leave the underground passage. However, private fighting is strictly prohibited in this underground passage, just like on the ground, and the use of various witchcraft is also not allowed. There is also a curfew, and you are not allowed to stay here after dark."
"Well, some rules and constraints are reasonable. Otherwise, this place can't operate at all, and problems will inevitably arise one after another. Two people."
As he spoke, Fang Xiao threw a complete spirit stone toward the guarding Gu Master.
Wang Wu paid for the taxi fare and also expressed his gratitude.
No one came up to stop him, and he entered the passage smoothly.
The underground has obviously been renovated. Compared with the modern subway station in the previous life, the quaint underground passage gives people a different feeling.
At this moment, Fang Xiao also saw clearly what the ground-walking insect looked like.
I saw a ground insect taking off from the entrance of the long and narrow passage. It was black in color and its body was hollow, like a bus with only its frame left.
If Fang Xiao had not used the Chi Nian Sword Technique to sense the weak mind in the insect's body, he would have mistaken the insect for an object.
I saw that there were several people standing in different places. Even though the ground insects accelerated to a speed above the third level in just a few breaths, they were able to ensure that they would not shake at all without any support.
"It does seem like the Earth Escape Technique again. Let's go up and take a look."
As soon as Fang Xiao finished speaking, another vacant ground insect came quickly from the passage and stopped in front of them.
He walked slowly onto the ground-walking insect, found a place, closed his eyes and stopped moving.
Although this place has no similarities with the previous life, it still touched Fang Xiao's heartstrings.
Some fragments that were dormant deep in my memory gradually emerged in my mind. Recalling the past scenes, a feeling of loss gradually welled up in my heart.
'Although I have traveled through time for decades, when I think back to my past life, there are still countless unfinished regrets and countless unforgettable fetters lingering in my heart. Those important people and things may only be seen again in dreams in the future. However, how can a person live without regrets? Immortal cultivators are no exception. The past cannot be brought back, but the future can still be expected. From now on, we should also focus on the great way, so that we will not be in vain in this world.'
Seeing Fang Xiao standing aside silently, Wang Wu did not dare to go forward to disturb him. He just stood there waiting silently.
Just as they were about to pass the station, Wang Wu was still hesitating whether to step forward to remind them.
Fang Xiao's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and his clear eyes seemed to have seen everything in the world.
But it’s not that kind of detached feeling.
Fang Xiao once thought that the highest state of mind was the state of being aware of the causes of worldly affairs and being able to let go of everything.
The logic may be right. We have gained and lost, and we can pick up and put down. We are not disturbed by external things and have achieved the state of being as good as water.
Maybe when necessary, you can bend down and pick it up, but in the end you will always be in a state of letting it go.
But Fang Xiao didn't want to. There were some things he could let go of, but he wouldn't.
He must engrave the important people and important things in his heart and hold them tightly in his hands. Carrying too much may cause him obstacles on the road, but if he leaves them behind, he will definitely lose his way.
Because that's His way.
