Doutu Continent

My host Xijie.

Gu Qingzhou declined Tao Chu's kindness politely. He is already a disciple of the king, so how could he be tempted by Tao Chu's proposal?Besides, no matter what Tao Chu's status was, he didn't bother the other party, and he didn't take the other party's words seriously from the beginning, quietly watching Tao Chu beaming and talking.I didn't explain that I was looking for ghosts and everyone had another purpose, not for apprenticeship.

After drinking tea and resting enough, Gu Qingzhou rubbed his sore arms and waist, then re-focused on the donkey.Tao Chu quickly stopped bragging and followed him on the road.

After Gu Qingzhou and Tao Chu left the tea shed, the painter who was wrapped in a black cloak checked out and left.

He seemed to have trouble with his legs and feet, and pressed his white fingers exposed outside the cloak on the painting, dotting his eyes and attracted four ugly ghosts, who lifted him onto a step.

There were no curtains around the step, and the chairs were covered with comfortable satin cushions.The painter was sitting on it, in the most comfortable posture, while the four ghosts carried Buyu on their shoulders and swaggered across the market.

The surrounding people are not surprised by this scene.It is close to Weilong City, and it is the base camp where ghosts have settled for more than 20 years, so the style of painting ghosts and gods prevails.Even ordinary people would not regard the painter who dotted the eyes of ghosts in broad daylight as an evil painter.Gongyangyi's influence can be seen.

Gu Qingzhou arrived in the city before dark, and declined the suggestion to stay with Tao Chu.

He smiled and said: "Tao Chu, thank you for taking care of me all the way. There is always a feast in the world. Since we have already entered the city, let's part here."

"Is this your destination?" Tao Chu asked back.

Gu Qingzhou shook his head and said, "My purpose is different from yours, so don't delay your search for a birthday gift for your grandfather."

"But..." Tao Chu struggled.Just as he was about to say something, Gu Qingzhou nodded his attention to the emoji.

[No, no, this really hurts the body.jpg]

Use effect: 100% successfully reject any request of the other party, and the other party will fully agree with your refusal. (Cannot take effect on those whose level is higher than itself)

Although Tao Chu is already a peak artist, the emoji package is higher than his own level by default, but he started as a painter.

So Tao Chu, who originally planned to stay with him to the end, changed his mind, and parted with Gu Qingzhou: "Okay! But if I want to see you in the future, Xiao Gu, where should I find you?"

Gu Qingzhou said freely: "See you by fate."

Tao Chu inexplicably agreed with this statement.What came to his mind was Weilong City marked by a circle on the map.

"Xie Xiaogu, I believe we are destined. You keep this painting." Tao Chu took out a painting and handed it to the other party, "Just put your eyes on this painting, and you can reach my home anytime, anywhere." Home. When someone interrogates you, you just need to say that you came to see me, Tao Chu, and someone will bring you to see me."

Gu Qingzhou took the painting and opened it. Isn't this the same "Spiritual Journey for Thousand Miles" that Jin Jiang used in front of his house, but was interrupted by a carriage that fell from the sky?Tao Huazun's masterpiece of fame!

No matter where the person is in "The Map of God's Journey Thousand Miles", they can be sent to Fengyun Mansion.

Fengyun Mansion, Tao Fengyun... Tao Chu!

Gu Qingzhou thought of many things in an instant, and guessed the identity of the other party.He will receive the badge for the painting.Unexpectedly, unintentionally, there will be an intersection with Fengyun Mansion again.

In the near future, Gu Qingzhou does intend to go to Fengyun Mansion, but not to meet Tao Chu, but to go to Jinjiang, a diner who is respected by Tao Hua.

Perhaps from the other party's mouth, he will get clues about the man who appeared in his studio that night Duo Xin.Of the enemies that Gu Qingzhou can think of, except Yun Zhixian, there is only one left.It is better to miscatch than misplace.

After Gu Qingzhou bid farewell to Tao Chu, he found an inn to recuperate overnight, and went straight to Weilong City the next day.Because there was an annual grand celebration not long after, many painters appeared on the way to Weilong City, so this trip went smoothly without encountering robbers or evil painters.

At the beginning, Master mentioned that the ghost master Gong Yangyi was too calm, as if the other party was an unknown person, not worth mentioning. After arriving in Weilong City, Gu Qingzhou realized what a peak painter who has been here for many years is. reputation.

After all, the other party is only one step away from the painting king who "no one in the world knows the king".If you step into the ranks of painters, you will be known to the world.How could it be a small role?

Gongyangyi's mansion is easier to inquire about than Gu Qingzhou imagined, because everyone in Weilong City knows it, even if they stop a child, they can easily point to the right way.

Gu Qingzhou knocked on the simple and elegant door, and explained his purpose. Although the doorman who opened the door was just an ordinary person, he was used to receiving painters every day, and even said with a stern face: "My master is not at home. , come back another day."

His voice was a little hoarse, and he did not know how many people he had repeated this sentence.

Gu Qingzhou said: "Dare to ask this little brother, when will you come back?"

Maybe it's because of Gu Qingzhou's outstanding appearance and polite tone of voice.Although he didn't give money to the porter like other interviewers, he still answered the other party's questions.

"Tomorrow is not too late, you can come to visit again." The concierge looked at Gu Qingzhou, his tone judo, "My master Xijie, you need to burn incense and take a bath before seeing him, so that when you go in tomorrow, the chance of seeing him will be greater. "

"Thank you." Gu Qingzhou said.Ghosts are worthy of being Master's former close friends, even their habits are similar.

As Mo Xuetao's apprentice, Gu Qingzhou can go to see Mr. Mo Hua at any time, but if outsiders don't burn incense and take a bath, the master will never meet.It's not about ostentation, but Mo Xuetao also likes cleanliness.Even the new fan that fell on the carpet and was not stained with dust, don't use it if you don't use it, even if it is expensive.

"I'll come back tomorrow, please excuse me." Gu Qingzhou said.

On the way back to the inn, Gu Qingzhou noticed something unusual and secretly checked the emoji.

【Crazy exploration on the edge of danger.jpg】

Under the effect of "Egret Detecting Danger", his bad feeling is indeed true, someone is following him!

Originally, Gu Qingzhou was still thinking that since the ghosts were not around, he could take advantage of this gap to go to the Sangshen Village near Weilong City to look for the treasure of his family, but he immediately dismissed the idea.

"The ghosts linger." Gu Qingzhou snorted coldly.

He had already traveled far away from the painting academy to the horizon, and the Gong family unexpectedly followed him up again.

……

The old palace house.The old woman, whose whole body was full of ink, closed her eyes and said coldly: "Gu Qingzhou has gone to Weilong City, this time he can't let him slip away from the control again. Gong Shuo, you go and pick up this future son-in-law of my Gong family personally. return."

"Yes! Old ancestor." Gong Shuo nodded.

The old woman opened her emotionless eyes, and the cold light in her eyes was like a sharp blade, piercing the younger generation of the clan, "It is now the time when my Gong family lives and dies, Gong Shuo will do whatever it takes to get him back. If this If you can't do the little things well, you don't have to come back, your mother will be taken care of."

Gong Shuo's hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists, and he said expressionlessly: "I will definitely not disappoint my ancestors. At the latest half a month, Gu Qingzhou will definitely show up at my Gong family."

……

On the second day, Gu Qingzhou visited Gong Yangyi's mansion again.

This time he entered the door smoothly, but only after Mo Nu observed him harshly, he was allowed to enter the inner hall.The ground is covered with a white carpet, even if you step on it lightly, it will generate dust.

Gu Qingzhou stopped and didn't step on it, thinking that as long as he dared to step on it, he would be kicked out of the house.This unreasonable cognition is extremely strong.

"Junior Gu Qingzhou, pay my respects to Senior Gongyang." Gu Qingzhou saluted, and looked down to see Master Ghost's bare feet under his dark clothes.

"The junior is here to deliver the letter." Gu Qingzhou raised his head, looked at the other party at the same level, and sized up the other party's appearance by the way.

Gongyangyi has a beautiful face, slightly curly hair, and a few tufts of curly hair curled up on the top of his head and beside his ears.His nails were neatly trimmed and his fingers were fair.Those around him beating his legs and backs were all extremely ugly evil spirits.The contrasting combination of the handsome man and the evil ghost makes Gong Yangyi even more handsome.

"Gu Qingzhou? Hehehe—" Gongyangyi said with a smile, "Drawing ghosts and gods is easy, but dogs and horses are difficult. This kind of painting is a small way after all."

Gu Qingzhou was startled when he heard this.

Gong Yangyi continued to laugh and said: "If you want to find a famous teacher, that golden boy knows where to find a better teacher. Tsk tsk——"

Gu Qingzhou smiled wryly in his heart, why did the other party just hear it?

Tao Chu pitted him to death.
