Cultivating Immortals From Prison

Chapter 97 Meeting

After handing the letter to Senior Sister Zheng, Gu Shen turned and walked into the crowd, and quickly disappeared into the market.

Senior sister Zheng eagerly wanted to open the letter and read it, but when she thought of Junior Brother Sun saying that she would read it later, she suppressed the tension and anticipation in her heart and put the letter away, feeling warm in her heart.

She began to purchase the materials needed by the sect according to the plan, but she always thought about that letter in her heart.

Finally, after coming out of a grocery store, Senior Sister Zheng took out the letter from her bosom and opened the envelope.

There was a smile on her face, but when she saw what was written in the letter, it disappeared instantly, replaced by panic and paleness.

She held the letter in the palm of her hand and looked around, but the crowd coming and going did not have the figure she wanted to see.

She did not continue to purchase, and began to search in the central street, south, north, east, and west of Rongcheng.

She thought she could find it. After all, he was just a mortal, and she was a monk on the second level of Qi training. It shouldn't be difficult to find him.

However, as the sky gradually darkened and there were fewer people on the street, Senior Sister Zheng found nothing.

In the distance, Xu Wei and the three of them who don't know why are walking towards this side.

Senior sister Zheng is destined not to find Gu Shen.

One is that Gu Shen did not stay in Rongcheng, after separating from Senior Sister Zheng, he left the city.

The second is that Gu Shen is not an ordinary person, he has already stepped into the threshold of a monk, he is already a monk of the sixth level of Qi training, placed in the Qingyun Sect, and only inner disciples who have practiced for many years can compare.

After coming out of Rongcheng, Gu Shen went all the way to the north.

He has never walked this road before, and he is not familiar with it, but now he is a brave man, crossing mountains and deep valleys, seeing poisonous snakes and beasts, as well as rebels and bandits, but they all drift away, and no one can stop him , he will not stay.

Gu Shen knew that there should be a lot of discussions about him in the sect now, maybe some inner and outer sect disciples had received the mission of the sect and wanted to go down the mountain to clean himself up.

Gu Shen wanted to try the mana in his body, but he also clearly felt that after leaving Qingyun Mountain, the aura in the mundane world was almost non-existent, extremely thin, and the mana in his body could be said to be less if he used it more. It is difficult to replenish.

So he dismissed this idea and simply walked with his body. After all, he was still an innate martial arts master before stepping into the world of cultivation.

Yizhou is too close to Qingyun Gate, Gu Shen was worried that someone would chase him, so he hurried on his way with all his strength, but within two days, he left Yizhou and came to the boundary of Liangzhou.

As soon as he left Yizhou, Gu Shen immediately felt the difference.

Although there are occasional disturbances in Yizhou, there are only a few local problems. The overall situation is stable and peaceful, and the people's life is also good. Many places are still the same as in the Taiping period. Live a regular life, although you can't enjoy wealth, but every family has food, and it's still possible to have a full stomach.

But Liangzhou is too barren. After entering Liangzhou, nine out of ten villages that Gu Shen saw were extremely dilapidated and desolate. Live in the world with tight belts.

In the past few days, he walked in Yizhou and Liangzhou, and heard some news.

The insurgents in the southern states formed a coalition, and the momentum was strong. The control of the Dayin court in the south was further weakened. Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou in the south were basically occupied by the insurgents.And there are also various hilltop forces within the rebel army, they are not united, and they often fight for themselves.

The Dayin court also controls Youzhou, Liangzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Gyeonggi, and Yizhou. At present, the fronts of the imperial army and the rebel army are mainly in Yuzhou and Yanzhou. There is no smoke.

It just seems that the Dayin Dynasty still occupies more than half of the territory, but in fact it is struggling to support it, and the situation is much worse than that of the rebel army.

There are roughly two reasons why the Dayin Dynasty was struggling to support it.

One is that among the several prefectures currently controlled by the Dayin Dynasty, except Yizhou, there are small-scale rebels in the rest of the prefectures. Although most of them were wiped out, they also caused serious consequences.

Another reason is that the Dayin court lacked money, and it was a serious lack of money. Soldiers who worked hard for the court had to be paid, and they also had to eat their stomachs. This required money. Although the capital of the Dayin Dynasty was in the north, its economic center of gravity But in the south, most of the taxes, money and food collected in previous years came from the southern states and were transported to the north through waterways.

Now that the south is completely occupied, naturally it will no longer send money and food to Dayin Chaotang.

So on the whole, the Dayin court is actually weaker than the rebel alliance in the south. If it weren't for the imperial general Dong Sheng, the innate master, sitting in command, the situation would have collapsed long ago.

Liangzhou, Rongjin County.

This is a small frontier county with Yizhou in the south and Qianguo in the west. Many years ago, this place was also prosperous as a transportation fortress and a major commercial town, but now the army is in turmoil, the caravans are diverted, and Rongjin County is no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

The current Rongjin County is just an ordinary small county with a poor population. Walking on the street, one can clearly feel the lack of people. Most of the shops on both sides of the street have closed, and only a few shops are still open, but it is Not many guests.

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Suddenly, Gu Shen heard a familiar horse neighing.

He followed the sound to the source.

Then I saw three horses tied to the stakes in front of a tea shop on the roadside, and one of the skinny black horses was circling anxiously back and forth, with the horse's head looking at him all the time.

"Little horse." Gu Shen was surprised at first, and then very happy.

Before he entered the mountain, he let the pony go, thinking that it would be difficult to see him again in the future, but he did not expect to meet again in this small town here today.

It's just that Gu Shen looked at the pony's skinny appearance, and couldn't help but frowned, was this abused?

Gu Shen stepped forward, walked in front of the pony, stretched out his hand and stroked the pony's head, its big eyes miraculously revealed a touch of enjoyment and comfort.

"Hey, who are you? Why are you touching my horse?!"

At this time, a man in a white coat and a short shirt who was drinking tea in the tea shop stood up and stared at Gu Shen angrily.

Gu Shen smiled and said: "Brother, I want to ask, how did this horse come here?"

The man came over, he didn't want to talk to Gu Shen, but when he saw Gu Shen took out the banknote from his pocket, his eyes straightened, and he told Gu Shen how to get the pony one by one.

It turned out that since Gu Shen left outside Rongcheng that day, the little horse had been wandering alone in the mountains, and somehow ran to the junction of Yizhou and Liangzhou.

A few days ago, a little mare raised by this man's family ran away, and the man was still very sorry. He didn't expect that a few days later, the little mare brought back a good horse from the mountain. Skinny and skinny, but it can still be seen that this is a good horse, but maybe it has been wandering in the mountains for a long time, and its temperament is very strong and wild.

Today, when the man went to the city to do errands, he took this good horse with him, hoping to slowly cultivate his relationship and hone his temperament, and then he met Gu Shen.

Gu Shen couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he didn't expect the pony to be attracted by the filly.

Gu Shen stroked the pony's head and asked, "Will you come with me?"

The burly man at the side laughed loudly when he saw this, and said, "Brother, why are you talking to a beast, it doesn't understand."

It's just that the strong man's words fell, and the upper body of the pony stood up, neighing happily.

The strong man was so startled that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and he said that the horse was going to be fine.

In the end, Gu Shen casually gave the strong man 300 taels of silver notes and bought the pony away.

The brawny man happily put away the banknotes. He went to the city today and made a lot of money. He made up his mind that when he got back, he would release the little mare and put it in the mountains. It would be best to bring back a few good horses. .
