Three Realms Sanatorium

Gu Shi felt that his memory was not bad.

To this day, he still remembers what each monster he beat up looked like, what breed it was, and what trouble it had done.

But he searched all over his memory, and he couldn't remember when he had been here.

Liu Taoli sat on Fudou's back, looking at the familiar building in front of her with a blank face.

Although everything he saw after he came to Cangwu Temple challenged his three views, but this kind of experience of returning to his own home from that dilapidated Taoist temple after closing and opening his eyes still made him freeze his thinking up.

Gu Shi turned his head and asked Liu Taoli, who had slid down from Huodou's back: "This is your home, right?"

"En." Liu Taoli took a deep breath.

He raised his finger and pointed to the top floor, "Our family lives on the 33rd floor."

If it was before, he would probably feel that everything different from daily life is very novel and exciting.

But after seeing his uncle's anomalies in the past six months, Liu Taoli just wanted these anomalies to stay away from their family as soon as possible.

Liu Taoli slipped off Fudou's back carefully, and gave a brief introduction to the apartment building in front of her.

The entire building of this apartment building belongs to Liu Taoli’s family, and it is used for both commercial and residential purposes. The 33rd floor is the top floor. The other part is rented out.

Liu Taoli was thinking about his uncle's affairs, and added: "Uncle was at a low point in the past two years. He originally lived with us, but last year he got some money again, so he moved away."

Gu Shi nodded, looked around but did not see the completion sign, and asked, "When was this building built?"

Liu Taoli recalled: "It was completed when I graduated from elementary school."

Gu Shi counted the time, then looked at the building, looked around, and became even more puzzled.

He has never been here before, and he has no impression of the gate or the surrounding area.

But since he approached this building, it seems to exude a familiar atmosphere.

Gu Shi couldn't help scratching You Long hanging on his wrist: "Xie Jiusi, can you see anything wrong with this building?"

Hearing this, the crimson Youlong stuck his head out from his sleeve and shook his head.

This building is really ordinary.

Gu Shi turned his head to look at Fu Dou again.

As a dog hook, Fu Dou should have a sharper sense of smell, right?

Futo had already started smelling the neighborhood the moment he arrived.

But it is a pity that he did not receive a familiar taste from it.

After Liu Taoli's entangled chance faded away, the last bit of Chong Li's aura disappeared.

The black mastiff planed the ground a little restlessly, spewing out a few sparks while breathing.

Gu Shi stretched out his hand and patted Fu Dou's head comfortingly: "It's all right, let's go up and have a look."

Fu Dou glanced at the sparks falling on the ground, raised his leg and stomped them out, turning back into a normal-sized mastiff, eliminating the blindfold covering two people and one dog.

Someone passed by in the distance, took a look at the gloomy sky with gusts of cold wind, and then at the young man standing at the door of the apartment wearing only a single shirt and jeans, and couldn't help wrapping his down coat tightly around his body.

Wearing a shirt at minus ten degrees is either a brain bubble or a brain bubble.

Passers-by hurried away.

There is a separate elevator from downstairs to Liu Taoli's house on the top floor. The two of them walked into the elevator with a dog.

In the past, foreign affairs were basically entrusted to Gu Xiuming, not to mention pricing, sometimes even the client, Gu Shi, might not be able to meet each other.

Gu Shi felt that the old man's previous price was probably not high, otherwise their living conditions would not have been relatively poor.And for Gu Xiuming, using Cangwu's inheritance to make a lot of money is a bit of an insult to the inheritance.

But he is not Gu Xiuming.

Looking at the constantly changing numbers in the elevator, Gu Shi pinched his fingers thinking about the huge funding gap for the repair of Cangwu Temple.

The local government allocated more than 200 million yuan to them, but this was not enough to repair the vast Cangwu Temple, let alone the money was actually used for some cultural relic protection measures.

Gu Shi thought about the barren courtyards in Cangwu Temple that had been dilapidated for many years, and pursed his lips.

Liu Taoli looked at Gu Shi carefully through the mirror of the elevator car.

Out of subtle timidity, he didn't take a good look at this young... Taoist priest.

This little Daoist Gu is not the same as the general concept of a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe.Not just clothes, but also words and deeds.

And the Cangwu Temple he went to before is obviously not as good as the Taoist temples in those tourist attractions in his impression.

Although it is clean, it can be seen that someone is taking good care of it, but no matter how clean it is, there is an irresistible dilapidation and desolation.

It looks like a gray-headed old man who is getting old, and weeds grow even on the glazed tiles.

...and material life seems to be a little tight.

Liu Taoli made such a judgment with some hesitation.

He is learning to draw, and instinctively observes his surroundings more carefully.

For example, he now clearly realizes that although the clothes on the young Daoist Gu next to him are very clean, they are indeed very old; the previous tea and tea probably have no channels for him to touch, but the tea set The quality is very average.

It's just that this little Daoist Gu was quite calm about all that, and didn't do anything to cover up.

Gu Shi keenly noticed Liu Taoli's scrutiny.

He raised his eyes and caught the sight that the other party couldn't dodge.

Gu Shi: "Is there any problem?"

Liu Taoli hesitated to speak, and finally pursed her lips, carefully probing: "I think your Taoist temple seems to be quite old."

"Yeah." Gu Shi nodded, "It's been quite a few years, because there is no money and no one, so it's dilapidated, and now I'm trying to find a way to raise money for repairs."

"Do you need a lot of money?"

"That's right." Gu Shi felt that there was nothing to hide, and said simply and neatly, "Not only is there a shortage of money, but also time is tight, because my old man is running out of time."

This year has passed, and there are still three and a half years before Gu Xiuming's deadline.

It's hard to say what happens after death, but dying with regrets is not perfect.

Liu Taoli didn't expect to hear this kind of news, and wanted to ask how much she would be paid when taking care of Gu, but she didn't mention this matter when she was taking care of Gu, so she silently held back her words.

He is still a student who has not entered the society, and he is a little shy about things like money.

Fudou on the side watched the number of the direct elevator change to 33, sobbed in disappointment, and lowered his head.

His hope was in vain. There was no familiar smell in this building, but a stench of rotten mud remained.

The moment the elevator door opened, Gu Shi also smelled that smell.

The smell is very light and has almost dissipated.

Liu Taoli walked into the entrance, took a pair of guest slippers, and when she turned her head, she saw a person and a dog sniffing lightly as they walked out of the elevator.

Although Liu Taoli could no longer smell such a faint scent, she still realized something by watching the two of them move.

He was a little embarrassed: "It's the smell of the mud that the box of gold bars turned into. We don't understand this, and we didn't dare to deal with it casually before, but it smells so bad that we gritted our teeth and threw it away a few days ago."

After finishing speaking, he paused, and said nervously, "Is it okay?"

Gu Shi stood in the entrance and looked around the somewhat empty living room, but found nothing bad in it.

"It's okay, it's just an ordinary blindfold. There is nothing dirty in your house."

Liu Taoli heaved a sigh of relief: "Thank you very much."

He put down the guest slippers, took Gu Shi and Fu Dou into the living room, and invited them to sit down.

Liu Taoli poured Gu Shi a cup of tea, then looked at Fudou: "Do you want something to drink?"

Fu Dou shook his head, indicating that he didn't need it.

Liu Taoli felt that something was wrong, so she finally poured a glass of milk for Fudou, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, please wait a moment, I'll call my parents."

"Ok."

Gu Shi watched Liu Tao and Li Jian leave the living room with their slippers on, and reached for the teacup.

Not afraid of being hot, he took a sip from the teacup and scanned the overly big house.

This house is very clean, or rather, not only is there no dirty stuff in this house, but there is also a sense of good fortune and auspiciousness.No special calculation is required at all, it is almost visible to the naked eye.

This family probably does good deeds in normal times, and the family and interpersonal relationships should be handled well. As soon as you walk in, you can see that this family is quite gentle.

Gu Shi looked down at Fu Dou, and found that the mastiff who had been a little restless had also become a little quieter.

It is a good thing that Chong Li can find such a person to give him a chance, which proves that he is still calm, and now there is no news.

The crimson dragon hidden in Gu Shi's sleeve poked its head out quietly, its snake eyes swept across the place, and found that there was nothing worth noting except for a few ordinary humans, and then hid back again.

Liu Taoli quickly called out his mother.

Recently, Liu Taoli's family is like a frightened bird, and they haven't had a good rest. Although it can be seen that Liu's mother has tidied up her appearance a little, the tiredness on her face can't be more obvious.

Liu Taoli gave his mother a cup of hot water: "I called my dad, he is on his way back."

Like Liu's mother, Liu's father even went to work and was very restless. He immediately put down his work when he received a call from his son.

While he was worried about whether his son had been deceived, he also anxiously hoped that his son would really bring back something extraordinary.

In the same mood as him, Mother Liu was also a little uneasy.

Even though she has been in society for more than ten years, this completely unfamiliar territory is really disturbing - and somewhat scary.

After witnessing their elder brother becoming baffled, and watching a box of gold turn into mud in an instant, the family's worldview has been greatly impacted.Liu Taoli, who returned home from City B in the blink of an eye, was even more torn to pieces with materialistic values.

"This is Gu Shi, a Taoist priest. I..." Liu Taoli thought about his words, "I found him by chance."

Then he turned to introduce his mother to Gu Shi, but Mother Liu reached out to Gu Shi first.

Gu Shi let go of the water glass in his hand and shook hands with her.

He looked at the lady politely, and found that she didn't have a trace of his familiar appearance or aura.

This is really strange.

Gu Shi couldn't figure it out.

He has never seen Liu Taoli before, and he has never been here before. Where did the vaguely familiar feeling come from when I saw it for the first time?

"This... Daoist Gu." Mother Liu raised her head nervously, not knowing how to proceed.

Gu Shi temporarily let go of his doubts: "You can rest assured that I haven't seen anything wrong with your house so far. The previous box of gold was probably just an ordinary cover-up."

With that said, Gu Shi reached out for the water glass again, and turned it into a golden bean.

"It's an ordinary spell like this, it's just a lie, and it has no other effect."

Mother Liu watched helplessly as the water glass turned into gold and back to a water glass, her breathing paused for a moment, and her tense spirit relaxed instantly after she regained her senses.

"That's great...that's great!" She cheered up, glanced at the boiled water in Gu Shi's hand, turned her head and looked at her son reproachfully, "I'm sorry, Daoist Gu, the child is not sensible, I'll go soak it for you Bring a pot of tea."

"No need, no need." Gu Shi stopped her, "Can you give me Liu Taoli's uncle's contact information?"

"This..." Mother Liu closed her eyes and sighed, "We have actually been unable to contact him for a week."
