Chapter 544: Poaching in Person
On the way, Baiyu kept asking about Shitou Village.
Shilou told him everything he knew, and basically revealed all the details of Shitou Village.
After learning the details, Baiyu was a little confused.
"Logically speaking, Shitou Village should be ranked among the best in the martial arts world, but why have I never heard of Shitou Village in the martial arts world?"
Hearing this, Shilou sighed.
"It is said that many years ago, our Shitou Village was indeed a famous and upright sect, but once it became famous, many sects came to cause trouble. Our Shitou Village has always been stable and peaceful, and never made enemies with others, but these people wanted to remove us from the martial arts world and used all means against us. Later, we gradually cut off contact with the outside world, until a year ago, a devastating disaster came, and Shitou Village was completely unknown in the martial arts world..."
Recalling the various experiences of Shitou Village over the years, Shilou and Ergou couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
Gu Sheng raised his hand and put it on their shoulders, patting them lightly twice.
Bai Yu pursed his lips and said apologetically: "Sorry, I didn't know it was like this..."
"It's okay, it's all in the past. Now that Brother Sheng is leading our Shitou Village, Shitou Village will definitely get better and better."
"Yes, yes, yes, with Gu Sheng here, it must be right. His ability is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Maybe Shitou Village will be more famous than our Baiyun Sect in the future."
After he finished speaking, several people couldn't help laughing.
Two days later, everyone finally returned to Shitou Village.
When they saw the figure of the third elder, Shi Lou shouted: "Third Elder, we are back!"
Hearing the shout, the three Zhang Laos paused and turned their heads in surprise.
"Everyone come out quickly, Gu Sheng and the others are back!"
This remark was responded to by hundreds of people, and everyone in Shitou Village quickly surrounded them.
But in a moment, Gu Sheng and others were surrounded by the crowd.
Feeling the enthusiasm of the people in Shitou Village, Bai Yu and the people of Baiyun Sect were really shocked.
Seeing their appearance, Gu Sheng quickly stopped everyone.
"Everyone, the person next to me is the young master of Baiyun Sect, and the people next to him are his subordinates, who are visiting our Shitou Village."
When they learned that the visitor was the young master of Baiyun Sect, everyone in Shitou Village was shocked.
"Gu Sheng, this... this..."
The third elder said this several times, but still didn't say it out loud.
After all, the real master was still standing in front of him, and some things were really hard to say.
Gu Sheng smiled and explained after understanding what he meant.
When they learned that Gu Sheng saved Bai Yu, the two of them became friends, and everyone was relieved.
At this time, Bai Yu stood up and said: "Don't worry, everyone, I will always remember Gu Sheng's life-saving grace. From now on, Shitou Village will be protected by my Baiyun Sect. Anyone who dares to touch Shitou Village will be an enemy of my Baiyun Sect!"
After Bai Yu finished speaking, everyone thanked him again and again.
The third elder looked at Gu Sheng, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Gu Sheng, our Shitou Village is what it is today, thanks to your help. We can never repay this kindness."
"Third Elder, don't say that. Shitou Village is also my home. It's really good for everyone."
"Okay, okay, then we will follow you to enjoy the good life."
"No problem, let's go in and talk."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, everyone realized that the guests had been here for so long, and they still welcomed them in!
In Gu Sheng's courtyard, everyone chatted for a while.
When the third elder was about to set up a banquet, Gu Sheng still told him the next arrangements.
"Third Elder, we can't stay in Shitou Village for too long. We will only stay for one night and leave tomorrow."
Hearing this, the third elder was a little anxious.
"Why are you so anxious? You have to leave after staying for one night? Can't the guests from Baiyun Sect stay for a few more days when they just arrived?"
"Third Elder, we still have some important things to do."
At this point, the third elder did not ask any more questions.
He knew that what Gu Sheng didn't say clearly must be very important. If he didn't say it, he didn't need to ask.
But he still felt bad when he thought that they were leaving tomorrow.
"After this matter is done, can you come back and stay for a few more days?"
Seeing the hope in the eyes of the third elder, Gu Sheng nodded solemnly.
"After this matter is done, we will definitely stay at home for a few more days."
With his words, the third elder finally felt relieved.
"Okay, then you guys chat first, I'll go prepare a banquet for you."
Gu Sheng didn't stop him and let him go.
At this time, the fifth elder on the side accidentally mentioned that there were many people from the rivers and lakes wandering around Shitou Village recently.
Hearing this, Gu Sheng couldn't help but frowned.
"Are there any strange things about these people from the rivers and lakes?"
"No, I have observed them carefully. They should all be wandering cultivators without sects and schools. They live in the open air every day. They only appear around our Shitou Village occasionally, but they have a good sense of boundaries and will not cross the line. After observing for a while, I didn't care about them anymore."
Knowing that these people did not cross the line, Gu Sheng's frown was relaxed a little.
"Fifth Elder, we should not be careless with these people. Send someone to check on them occasionally to prevent them from plotting something in secret."
"I know. I send people to check on them every day, but they have always been well behaved, as if they are looking for a place to stay."
"If they want to stay in the surrounding area, they must be driven away."
Gu Sheng's words seemed ruthless, but everyone understood.
A sect stationed here means that this territory has been demarcated. If someone sets up camp next to this territory, there will definitely be trouble in the future.
If they are soft-hearted, the boomerang will definitely stab them in the future.
Understanding what he meant, the fifth elder nodded.
"Okay, I will always send someone to keep an eye on them."
While the few people were chatting, the banquet at the third elder's place was ready.
Everyone moved, and Shi Lou's eyes lit up when he saw the wine jar on the table.
"Third elder, you are too generous, you even took out the fine wine that you have collected for many years!"
Hearing him say it bluntly, the third elder scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"It's rare for you to come back and have distinguished guests, so naturally you have to bring some good wine."
"Brother Sheng, can I drink more?"
After Shi Lou asked, Gu Sheng just gave him a look.
Seeing this look, Shi Lou wilted immediately.
"Okay, okay, I'll just taste it."
Although he said so, he still got half drunk that night.
Er Gou sent him back and simply kept him all night.
When the sky was bright and everyone was about to leave, Shi Lou showed up with a sad face.
Seeing him like this, everyone couldn't help laughing.
"Brother Sheng, I'm sorry, I thought I wouldn't drink too much."
Gu Sheng shook his head helplessly and put his hand on his head.
A burst of spiritual energy flowed out from Gu Sheng's hand and slowly entered Shi Lou's body.
In less than a moment, the smell of alcohol on his body was completely dissipated.
"How do you feel now? Are you still uncomfortable?"
Shi Lou was refreshed and shook his head quickly: "No, thank you Brother Sheng."
Gu Sheng smiled and said nothing more, taking everyone on the road together.
The third elder and others saw them off all the way until their backs disappeared, and everyone withdrew their gazes.
Looking at the third elder, the fifth elder said: "Third elder, Gu Sheng asked us to keep an eye on the people around Shitou Village."
"I know, just do what he says."
Looking up at the place where Gu Sheng and others walked away, the fifth elder couldn't help but say: "Third elder, Gu Sheng really helped us a lot. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid our Shitou Village would have been scattered long ago. Now we are not only in a stable position, but also can be taken care of by the Baiyun Sect. All this is Gu Sheng's credit. You see... Shouldn't we give him the things left by the village owner?"
Hearing the words of the fifth elder, the third elder pursed his lips gently.
"You are right. Our Shitou Village can be what it is today thanks to Gu Sheng."
"Yes, if it weren't for him, we would have died long ago. If we died, how could there be Shitou Village in this world?"
As soon as this was said, everyone agreed.
Listening to what everyone said, the third elder pursed his lips again.
"Don't worry, I will make my own decision on this matter. I will repay Gu Sheng's kindness."
This book has been updated recently in ##六x-on:x-on:九x-on:x-on:x-on:书x-on:x-on:吧!! Update!
After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.
Everyone looked at him, and they were a little confused.
Logically speaking, Gu Sheng had paid so much for Shitou Village, and he should have taken the position of the village chief long ago. They didn't understand why the third elder had not taken out that thing.
As everyone was whispering, the fifth elder waved his hand.
"Okay, okay, stop talking here. The third elder is a thoughtful person. He knows when to take it. Gu Sheng is such a good person, he won't hide his selfishness."
At this time, Shi Lou, who was beside Gu Sheng, also mentioned this matter.
Bai Yu was a little surprised to learn that Gu Sheng had not yet taken power in Shitou Village.
In his mind, even if Gu Sheng was not the village chief, he should be in a high position, but he didn't expect that he was not.
"Gu Sheng, you have worked so hard, and they didn't even give you an explanation?"
Hearing him say this, Shi Lou and Er Gou hurried forward to explain.
"The Third Elder is definitely considering this matter, and there will be an explanation sooner or later."
"Yes, yes, Brother Sheng has already taken that position in our hearts, and I believe the Third Elder thinks so too."
Looking at the two people eager to explain, Gu Sheng smiled.
"I don't have so many ideas. I actually stayed in Shitou Village, and I just wanted to contribute to Shitou Village. As for other things, it doesn't matter."
With his words, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before they could finish their breath, Bai Yu took over the words.
"Gu Sheng, since you have no name and no status in Shitou Village, if one day you get tired of staying, you are welcome to come to Baiyun Sect. As long as you come, I will definitely let you take a high position!"
After he finished speaking, before Shilou and Ergou had time to express their dissatisfaction, Lan Yao squeezed forward.
"Bai Yu, do you understand what first come first served means? I met Gu Sheng first, and if he comes, he will come to our elf tribe! Except for not letting him be the tribe leader, I will let him choose other positions!"
When the two argued, Shilou and Ergou were very worried.
After exchanging glances, both of them sighed.
Gu Sheng stopped with a headache, and then stopped their topic.
"Okay, our current task is to chase the two generals around the evil demon, not to discuss where I am going. You are so excited to talk, but what do you think about this matter? If you have any, tell me."
As soon as Gu Sheng opened his mouth, everyone wilted.
"Gu Sheng, according to the latest news, we only know that the code names of these two people are black and white ghosts, and we don’t know the others."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows.
"Black and White Ghosts?"
"Yes, it is the name given by the evil demon. He said that he hopes that the black ghost and the white ghost will regain the black and white roads of the rivers and lakes and use them all for him."
"Hehe, he thinks it's beautiful."
"Indeed, if he wants to take it back, he should go to the King of Hell and try."
Everyone was talking and laughing as they hurried forward. After two full days, we finally found a place to stay.
In the inn, Bai Yu called his men and told them to leave after a few instructions.
Seeing his men leave, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"We will only stay here for one night."
"I know they will meet us halfway."
"Why let them go? To investigate the news of the black and white ghosts?"
"No, let them investigate the news of various sects. The market in Shanshui Town is about to open, and there will definitely be a large number of people from the rivers and lakes going there. I want to know if there is anyone who is colluding with the black and white ghosts."
Hearing his words, Gu Sheng nodded.
I have to admit that Bai Yu is very smart and has a long-term vision. Although his character needs to be honed, his mind is definitely first-class.
"All along the way, we are counting on the news of your Baiyun Sect."
"No problem, there is no need to be so polite between us. What's the difference between you and me? At the critical moment, don't we still have to rely on you?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng smiled.
"I may not be reliable."
"If even you are unreliable, then I'm afraid there is only one way to go."
Gu Sheng didn't say anything more, just smiled softly.
That night, when everyone was preparing to rest, Gu Sheng vaguely heard some footsteps.
Just as he was carefully identifying, the blue demon next door suddenly knocked on the wall a few times.
Hearing the sound coming from his side, Gu Sheng's eyes turned cold.
Take out the fire spirit dagger, he slowly approached the door.
Sure enough, the faint footsteps outside the door stopped at his door.
Gu Sheng raised his hand to hold the door handle, and when he was about to open the door, the footsteps moved again and walked straight inside.
Feeling something wrong, Gu Sheng also hurriedly knocked on the wall a few times.
Shilou quickly responded and passed the message on.
Thinking that Baiyu lived in the room between Ergou and Huangshan, Gu Sheng was a little worried, turned his head to look at the window, pushed the window and flew out.
Running along the window, he soon came to the outside of Huangshan's house.
Just as he was about to knock on the window, two faint sounds came from the wall.
Hearing these two sounds, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I didn't expect Baiyu to be so smart."
When there was movement in the room, Gu Sheng opened the window directly.
Huangshan's heart was about to jump out when he heard the sound from the window.
When his sword flew over, Gu Sheng quickly dodged to the right.
"It's me."
With his hands, he fell straight to the ground.
Seeing that it was him, Huangshan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Sheng, you scared me to death."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Gu Sheng immediately made a gesture to keep quiet.
When the footsteps outside the door stopped again, the two looked at each other and walked towards the door together.
When the two paused at the door, the oil paper beside the door was suddenly pierced, and a thin bamboo tube stretched out from the outside, facing the direction of the bed! (End of this chapter)
