Master, you go first!

Xiaobai saw that the scenery of this mountain city was also unique, different from the cities on the plains that he and Gu Jiu had visited before. Looking back, you can see the rolling hills.

"Senior brother, it's fun here, or we can just live here." Xiaobai really wants whatever fun he sees.

"Let's see, maybe there will be a better place in the future. It is said that most people in Jinyang still live on the west coast."

"Oh, that's it. Is the coast interesting? Let's go and see it too."

A few people walked for a while, and not far from the top of the mountain, there was a square surrounded by shops and restaurants. It seemed to be a market area.

Arriving at an inn, Gu Jiu and the others entered the inn, preparing to take a short rest and see where they wanted to continue.

This inn is both an inn and a teahouse. The first and second floors are places for people to drink tea, and the third and fourth floors are guest rooms.

After booking a room, a few people went to the tea place downstairs to rest. The waiter served tea. Only then did Shen Nian ask Gu Jiu,

"What happened when you defeated Zhu Mo back then?"

"I know," Xiaobai answered quickly, "The formation disk that senior brother obtained on the Central South Plateau must be a problem with that formation disk."

Gu Jiu nodded, but in fact he was repulsed by that mysterious power, feeling that it was beyond his control.

Shen Nian nodded thoughtfully, seeing that it was indeed not Gu Jiu's own power.

Jin Yuan'er and Shi Fei were also curious about this matter, and they understood it after listening to what Xiao Bai and Gu Jiu said. But they all also feel very afraid of the uncontrollable power.

Just when a few people chatted for a while, they still hadn't decided where to stay. The sound of a gong sounded in the middle of the teahouse, and an old man stepped up on the table in the middle.

"Thank you all for joining me today. What I'm going to talk about today is that following the last episode, Zhang San encountered a tiger on the mountain and a passing immortal came to his aid..."

It turned out to be a storyteller. Gu Jiu suddenly realized that several people also listened to the old man's story with great interest.

Shen Nian really liked listening to it and was very fascinated by it. The old man talked for about an hour, and his speech was quite good, and his voice was full of emotion.

"If you want to know what happens next, let's listen to the explanation next time."

"Tell me a little more. Isn't this the end of the story?" Some customers who were listening in rapt attention couldn't help shouting, asking the old man to speak a little longer.

But this is normal. The teahouse adds storytellers, and the stories are told for an hour every day. Those who want to listen will naturally continue to come to drink tea tomorrow. The old man also apologized and stepped down.

Shen Nian also wanted to hear it and turned to look at Gu Jiu.

"You seem to be good at reading books, why don't you tell me about them too?"

"No, no, no, no, this is someone else's teahouse, why should I go there, and we can't stay here forever." Gu Jiu waved her hands quickly.

"Haha." Shen Nian smiled and rolled his eyes, "How about we open a teahouse, then you can go and tell stories, and we can listen. Isn't that just right."

"Okay, okay," Xiaobai raised his hand in agreement, "Senior brother's stories are pretty good, I've heard them."

The other two women also seemed to have discovered a new world and looked at Gu Jiu expectantly.

Gu Jiu scratched his head and felt that it was not impossible.

"It's possible, but you have to decide where to stay first. It's also good to open a teahouse. There are less things to do in a teahouse, but it's too troublesome in a restaurant. It's inevitable that some people will make trouble after drinking."

"Then it's settled," Shen Nian said, "Didn't the old man say something about the mountain inside and the beautiful lake at the foot of the mountain? Is there really such a place? How about we go there and have a look."

"Tai Shen Mountain, at the foot of the mountain is Pingjing Lake." Xiaobai remembered it very smartly.

"Well, it seems to be a real place. I have seen it in the history books in Master's study before." Gu Jiu nodded.

"Then how about we go there?" Shen Nian asked everyone.

"I have no objection. It's fine anywhere, as long as you leave Luo Country." Jin Yuan'er said.

"Me too." Shi Fei responded.

Everyone had no objections, so the destination was determined.

To be on the safe side, Gu Jiu called the waiter and asked if Taishen Mountain and Pingjing Lake really existed.

The waiter responded in the affirmative, and the waiter very thoughtfully told Gu Jiu the location. Gu Jiu took out a pen and paper and drew a rough sketch of the location. He gave the waiter some money for his hard work, and the waiter thanked him respectfully before leaving.

It was getting dark, and Xiaobai was clamoring for a good meal. No one had any objection, and Xiaobai ordered a full table as he liked.

After drinking and eating, they all went back to their houses to rest, preparing to set off to Pingjing Lake in Taishen Mountain tomorrow.

Two rooms were divided, Jin Yuan'er and Shi Fei lived in one. Then it felt a little awkward. Gu Jiu and Shen Nian entered the room with a big white light bulb.

Both of them have expressed their feelings now, but with the little fox Xiaobai around, they are still somewhat shy about it.

"Well, you don't have to worry about me, I'm just a little fox, I don't understand anything." Xiaobai transformed into a little white fox, grinning like a fox, smiling cutely.

Shen Nian smiled and picked up Xiaobai, lying on the bed, leaving a place for Gu Jiu.

This night, the wind is very light and the clouds are very light. The room was also very quiet. Gu Jiu leaned on the pillow and looked out the window at the stars. Shen Nian hugged Xiao Bai and leaned on Gu Jiu's shoulder.

Some longings do not need too many words to modify, time will slowly fill them up.

After a long time, Gu Jiu asked Shen Nian,

"Have you thought about how you will live in the future?"

"I never thought about it, it would be nice if you were here." Shen Nian narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Continue to practice, or live like a mortal for a while, or go around and see the world?"

"It's okay, as long as you're here..." Shen Nian said and fell asleep.

Shen Nian's breathing slowly became even and she slept peacefully. Gu Jiu raised the corners of her mouth and raised her eyebrows to signal Xiaobai to pull the quilt over her.

Gu Jiu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He had done a lot of business over the years, but it seemed that he had temporarily lost it all when he left Luo Country. Maybe one day I will be strong enough to return to the sect. But it doesn't seem to be a pity. What he got is peace of mind at his side.

Looking at Shen Nian who was sleeping next to him, he remembered that his parents in his previous life always nagged him for not bringing someone home. At this moment, Gu Jiu pursed her lips and couldn't bring her back even if she wanted to.

"This world of cultivating immortals is very thrilling and exciting." Gu Jiu muttered before closing his eyes and falling asleep.

The diligent Xiaobai took on the role of a mother and pulled the quilt for him before curling up into a ball and sleeping on their quilt.

……

The next day.

The morning light fell, and the entire Panshan City looked so vibrant in the rising sun.

In the square outside the inn, various street vendors also began to sell their goods, and their cries full of life awakened the sleeping people in the inn.

Gu Jiu and the others also got up, packed everything, and went downstairs to settle the bill. Then he left Panshan City.

Set off towards Taishen Mountain...
