Chapter 549 I Always Hate Trouble
Hearing Gu Sheng's plan, Bai Yu's eyes lit up.
"Gu Sheng, you are too smart, aren't you? This way, it's like killing two birds with one stone! Not only can we easily capture the black and white ghosts and rescue Wushuang Jushi, but we can also cause a sensation in the martial arts world and mobilize all the forces to attack to eliminate future troubles. This method is really great!"
"This is the only chance. We can't do it without planning. Call Lan Yao and the others later, and we'll talk about it."
Bai Yu nodded and quickly sent someone to call them.
Everyone was awakened from their sleep and hurried over.
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"As long as we can capture the black and white ghosts, nothing else matters."
After Shi Lou finished speaking, Er Gou came up.
"Brother Sheng, what do we need to do this week before we start?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows.
The task of spreading the news has been handed over to Bai Yu's men, and as for them, it seems that there is really nothing to do.
After thinking about it, Gu Sheng hooked his lips.
"There are many good things in Shanshui Town. Since you are here, don't come in vain. Don't you have a lot of things you want? Then take this opportunity to buy them."
"But the market hasn't started yet."
"The market hasn't started yet, but both buyers and sellers are here. Are you still afraid that you can't buy anything? There are more and more stalls on the street these two days. Maybe you can find what you like."
Everyone thought about it carefully and felt that what he said made sense.
The number of stalls around has increased visibly, but they just haven't had time to visit. Now they have an extra week, so they are not afraid of not being able to buy what they want!
"Brother Sheng, when are we going?"
Looking outside, Gu Sheng stood up directly.
"I'm free anyway, let's go now."
Everyone's eyes lit up and they immediately followed him up.
When they came to the street, they finally had time to go shopping.
Just a few steps away, Bai Yu took out the silver and put a treasure in his pocket.
Lan Yao was not to be outdone and soon found good things.
Walking from the beginning to the end of the street, almost everyone gained a lot, only Gu Sheng didn't make a move.
"Gu Sheng, there are so many things but none of them are what you like? How about we go over there? There might be something good in that alley."
Bai Yu pointed, and Gu Sheng nodded with a smile.
"Okay, we're free anyway, let's go."
Everyone walked towards the alley with a smile, looking around at the stalls.
When everyone's attention gradually dispersed, Gu Sheng vaguely realized that something was wrong.
Behind them... it seemed that someone had been following them!
At the corner, Gu Sheng took the opportunity to turn his head, and his eyes turned sharply.
Sure enough, after he turned back, a figure quickly dodged and hid directly in the dark.
Looking at the fluttering corners of the clothes, Gu Sheng frowned.
Dare to follow them with such means? It's really overestimating one's own ability!
Seeing Lan Yao paid the silver, Gu Sheng grabbed him.
"Don't buy it, go inside."
After saying that, he pulled Bai Yu again.
Seeing his face, the two immediately realized that something was wrong, so they quickly withdrew their hands and followed him inside.
They pretended to walk and stroll along the way, but in fact their eyes were on the surroundings.
When the vendors began to decrease, Gu Sheng and others began to turn right.
The person behind seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still followed.
Seeing him catch up, Gu Sheng curled his lips gently.
Turning this corner, they all hid in the dark.
But a moment later, the sound of the man's footsteps rang in their ears.
After locking his position, Gu Sheng turned his wrist, and a divine power flew out, blocking the man's way directly.
The man didn't seem to expect that they would wait for him. He stumbled under his feet and just tripped on Gu Sheng's divine power and fell out.
Seeing that he was so easily hit, Gu Sheng stepped forward and stepped on his wrist.
"You've been following for so long, are you tired?"
The man gasped in pain and kept begging for mercy.
Hearing a familiar voice, Gu Sheng couldn't help but frown.
He squatted down and took a look. Sure enough, the person following them was the one who had robbed them of the room!
Seeing him, Gu Sheng's face quickly turned cold.
"I told you not to let me see you, otherwise I will send you to see the King of Hell. You ignored my words, right?"
Hearing this, the man's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"Brother, I have no ill intentions! I really have no ill intentions this time! I want to worship you as my master, but I am afraid that you will kill me, so I followed you secretly!"
After he finished speaking, Gu Sheng sneered.
"Such a lame excuse, do you think I will believe it?"
"Everything I said is true! I swear to heaven, if there is a word that is made up, let me be struck by lightning!"
As he said this, he really raised his hand and pointed straight to the sky.
Seeing his actions, Lan Yao and others were silent.
Gu Sheng frowned, but finally let him go.
"Where are the people around you?"
"I dispersed them all. With my current ability, I can't manage a sect. Let them follow me to suffer, it is better to let them find another way out."
"You think it's quite clear."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I figured it out too late. If I had figured it out earlier, those people wouldn't have died."
When he said this, Shi Lou frowned.
"You were the ones who caused trouble for me first, but you were outmatched and died at our hands. Now you blame us?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I don't blame anyone, I just blame myself. Brother, after seeing your strength that day, I always wanted to become your disciple, but I didn't dare to show up, so I could only follow you quietly. Please accept me! Please!"
As he said that, he knelt down with a plop and kowtowed three times to Gu Sheng.
Seeing this, Gu Sheng frowned and hid aside.
"I don't accept disciples, and you don't have to do this."
"Please accept me, I will study with you honestly. I am the son of King Luo, and I can give you whatever you want! Just please keep me by your side!"
Hearing him reveal his identity again, Gu Sheng's brows tightened a little more.
"I don't care who you are, I won't accept disciples. We have business to do, don't bother me."
When Gu Sheng was about to leave, he hugged Gu Sheng's legs.
"Please, please accept me as your disciple. If you don't accept me, I have no desire to live in this world. Please give me a way out!"
"Are you trying to blackmail me?"
"No, that's not what I mean. I'm telling the truth. When I was in Prince Luo's mansion..."
He told the story of his miserable experience, and everyone frowned.
Obviously, everyone sympathized with his experience, so they all looked at Gu Sheng's face.
Gu Sheng's expression never changed, he just listened quietly.
When he finished speaking, he looked into his eyes and said, "Your mother was killed by your father's wife to protect you. Now you are responsible for two lives. Instead of seeking death, you might as well go and avenge your mother. According to what you said, you should be the legitimate son of King Luo. If you feel that he is unfair to you, you should use your own ability to fight for justice, instead of kneeling in front of me to become my disciple."
"But..."
"No buts, that's all your business, it has nothing to do with me. I'll just say this, don't follow me anymore."
After speaking, Gu Sheng turned around and left.
Everyone followed him and went straight back to the inn.
In the inn, Bai Yu said, "Gu Sheng, in fact, King Luo's identity is not simple. He has a big sect behind him to support him, so he can step by step to where he is today. If that person is really the son of King Luo, it might be useful to keep him by his side."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng shook his head.
"I have always been reluctant to get involved in all kinds of messy things, and this is also the case."
"But more connections mean more ways."
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum!
"Not necessarily, more connections may also bring more troubles, you know, I hate trouble the most."
After thinking about it carefully, Bai Yu felt that what he said was right, and he really hated trouble. Apart from them, he basically did not contact outsiders. Even if he contacted outsiders, he never showed his emotions, and always looked like someone who kept a distance from him.
Thinking of this, Bai Yu sighed and nodded.
"Maybe everyone's situation is different, and their ideas are different. If he wants to worship me as his master, I might nod my head. After all, I still have the Baiyun Sect in my hands. If I want to make the Baiyun Sect flourish, the connection of King Luo can be used."
"You can try."
"Forget it, he is obviously coming for you, what's the point of me interfering."
Gu Sheng nodded and said nothing more.
In the next few days, Shanshui Town became more and more lively.
The market has already taken shape, and more and more people are on the street.
A group of people from the underworld gathered here, some came for things, and some came for the black and white ghosts.
Bai Yu's people have spread the news, and it has spread a lot in the streets, but these people from the underworld are very united. They only spread the news among themselves and never spread it outside, so as not to let it reach the ears of people with bad intentions.
Gu Sheng and others walked around outside for a few times, and they felt relieved.
For a whole week, Shanshui Town was in a state of relaxation on the surface but tension in secret.
On the day when the market officially opened, Lan Yao and others had already bought everything.
In front of the inn window, they looked down. There were quite a few people, but there were obviously not many people buying things. Everyone was alert to each other, obviously guarding against the appearance of the black and white ghosts.
Looking at the crowd below, Lan Yao looked at Gu Sheng.
"These people in the martial arts world seem to be ready. How many people do you think will go tomorrow?"
"I don't know, but at least half of them will go."
"Only half? I see that many famous and upright sects and big families are here to eradicate the black and white ghosts. At least half of them should go?"
"Not necessarily. Some sects and families just use this name to get a good reputation for themselves, but if they really take action, they may not come forward."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Bai Yu agreed.
"Gu Sheng is right. Some sects are like this, with only a superficial appearance."
"It can be like this. It really opened my eyes. By the way, we should set off as soon as it gets dark, right?"
Looking up, Gu Sheng nodded.
"Yes."
"Let's have another meal before we set off. We can deal with them after we are full."
Shi Lou, Er Gou and others agreed with Bai Yu's words.
Seeing them like this, Gu Sheng frowned helplessly, but didn't say much.
After eating and drinking, everyone finally went to the river.
As he walked along, Gu Sheng found that there were many stalls on the roadside.
Two rows of stalls spread to the riverside, and there were many people coming and going. They didn't look out of place walking here.
Looking at the vendors and tourists, Gu Sheng curled his lips slightly.
The vendors and tourists were not looking at their own positions. It was obvious that they were waiting for the black and white ghosts here, because there were not many places to hide by the river, but there were many people coming, so they could not hide, so they set up the stalls here.
At this time, Shi Lou suddenly touched Gu Sheng's shoulder.
"Brother Sheng, look who that is."
Following his gaze, Gu Sheng sighed helplessly.
The son of King Luo was standing not far away, and was obviously heading in this direction.
"Brother Sheng, he didn't find us, did he?"
"Probably not, let's hurry up."
As he said that, Gu Sheng quickened his pace, and Shi Lou and others hurried to catch up.
Just as they were moving forward, a noisy sound suddenly came from the back.
Among the many voices, a voice sounded sharply: "Someone was killed! The people of the Eight Directions Sect were killed!"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng immediately stopped and turned to look.
The crowd behind was already in chaos, and many people were shouting, and the scene was already a mess.
Bai Yu took the opportunity to come to Gu Sheng and whispered, "It should be the people from the Mirror Gate who took action."
Pursing his lips, Gu Sheng nodded.
"Don't worry about these things, let's go quickly."
They had just walked a few steps when screams came from behind again. Sure enough, someone was killed again, and this time the dead person was at the end of the crowd. Many people watched him being killed.
"Oh my God, his head was cut off!"
As soon as this voice came out, Gu Sheng could conclude that it was the people from the Mirror Gate who took action.
"They want to kill a total of ten people, and now two have been killed. It is estimated that it will not be long before the black and white ghosts will appear. Take advantage of the chaos and rush to the riverside and find a place to hide. As soon as the black and white ghosts appear, take action immediately."
Hearing Gu Sheng's words, the expressions of others immediately became serious.
"Okay, we know."
Everyone rushed to the riverside and heard a lot of news about the death one after another, but they did not stop, but found a place to stay by the river first.
After finding a hiding place, Gu Sheng's eyes turned around.
Things were just as he said. There were many people watching the excitement, but not many people actually wanted to take action. There were not many hiding places by the river, but some were empty now.
"Gu Sheng, it turns out that there really aren't that many people coming."
After Lan Yao finished speaking, Gu Sheng sighed.
"Wait a minute, it's still early, there should be more."
"Even if there are more, it will only reach half the number, right?"
"It's good to have so many, don't expect so much, after all, it's a matter of life and death, you can't force it."
Knowing that what he said was right, Lan Yao didn't say anything more.
At this time, Bai Yu suddenly frowned and said, "The son of King Luo is here too."
Hearing his words, Gu Sheng turned his head and saw him.
"Don't worry about him, take care of ourselves."
Gu Sheng retracted his gaze and just stared at the river quietly. (End of this chapter)
