When he arrived at the city gate, Gu Yuan found that there were indeed people checking people at the gate, checking the identities of everyone entering and leaving the city.
Although the residents in the city were somewhat dissatisfied with this, this was set up by the Mu family.
So everyone was angry but dared not speak out. Even if they were angry, it was useless. They did not have the courage to say no to the Mu family.
Gu Yuan walked slowly to the city gate and stood at the end of the team.
In order not to attract attention, Gu Yuan stood at the end of the team, with his head down and neither looking up.
The people in the team walked forward one by one, and Gu Yuan also slowly followed the team and walked forward.
It has to be said that the Mu family is extremely strict in checking people entering and leaving the city. They will check every person carefully and only let them go after confirming that there are no problems.
It took a full incense stick of time before it was Gu Yuan's turn. Gu Yuan carried his bag and walked forward to be interrogated by the people from the Mu family at the door.
The inspector was a middle-aged man, his face covered in sweat, but he showed no sign of impatience. Clearly, even in this environment, he still insisted on fulfilling his duties. Gu Yuan sighed inwardly, the quality of the Mu family was indeed very high.
The middle-aged man waved at Gu Yuan and asked, "What's your name?"
Gu Yuan replied, "Li Erniu."
"Who are you and where are you going?"
Gu Yuan replied, "I am a servant of the Gu family. Something big happened at home today, so I have to go back."
and you
The middle-aged man frowned and asked, "Something big happened? Tell me in detail what happened."
Gu Yuan continued, "My mother passed away suddenly, so I had to go back to attend the funeral."
The middle-aged man frowned and cursed inwardly, "What a damn bad luck."
Then he carefully checked Gu Yuan's face, and after confirming that it did not match the portrait in his hand, he waved to Gu Yuan, "Let's go, let's go!"
Gu Yuan nodded, looking timid as he carried his bag. As he headed towards the city gate, he chuckled inwardly. He had thought he was being very strict with the inspection, but it looked like it was just a formality.
Just when Gu Yuan was secretly delighted, a sudden roar rang out in the air, "Everyone, don't move! Stand still!"
The voice came from behind, and Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
Then he stood there, no longer actively looking at what was happening behind him. Behind him, someone was rushing towards him.
At the same time, he was still shouting: "Stop all the people in front of you and don't let any of them leave."
Gu Yuan's heart began to pound. He didn't know what had happened and why they suddenly stopped. However, in this situation, Gu Yuan had not completely left the range of the city gate, so he did not dare to act rashly. He could only stand there obediently and not move.
When the people from the Mu family heard this, they all took action and stopped everyone in the team, surrounded them and prevented them from leaving.
The man who had arrived earlier quickly rushed to the city gate and said to everyone in the Mu family, "Everyone, be alert! Check everyone here again. Only let them go after confirming that everything is clear. Otherwise, arrest everyone who is suspicious."
The words of the person who came made everyone present change color. Some people even started to complain.
"What the hell? Haven't we already checked everything? Why do we have to check it again?"
"Yes, yes, we've already checked everything. What else could be suspicious? I need to hurry out to get some herbs!"
"Don't let them hear us. These are all members of the Mu family. If they hear us, we will be in trouble!" someone reminded in a low voice.
But even so, the people present could not hide their dissatisfaction.
Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes, not daring to move. He had initially thought his identity had been exposed, but now it seemed that Mu Jia had simply intensified the scope and intensity of the inspections, and that they weren't targeting him.
After all, he had just left the Gu family, and his whereabouts should not be exposed. Moreover, he had the Thousand Machine Mask on his body, which changed his aura, appearance and figure. There was no reason for it to be exposed.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had the Thousand Machine Faces, a treasure. Otherwise, under such an inspection, he would not be able to escape even if he disguised himself.
In this way, everyone present was checked again by the Mu family, even the bags in their hands were checked.
Gu Yuan stood in the group, looking up at the people from the Mu family around him. He lowered his head, not showing any unusual emotions, so as not to arouse their suspicion.
At this time, if I am exposed, it will be difficult to leave.
The people from the Mu family who were guarding the city gate checked Gu Yuan's body again, and even put their hands on Gu Yuan's face and rubbed it hard. Fortunately, the nature of the Thousand Machine Mask was quite special, and he didn't discover anything.
After the mask on Gu Yuan's face was transformed, it looked exactly like the real one, unless Gu Yuan used his spiritual energy to remove it.
After passing another level, Gu Yuan felt greatly relieved.
The Mu family member said to Gu Yuan, "Let's go, let's go! Let's go over there."
Then Gu Yuan lowered his head and left Gumo City.
After leaving the city gate, Gu Yuan looked at it from afar and couldn't help but sneered, "Mu family, ah Mu family, didn't you want to keep me? What a pity, it's a pity that you still couldn't keep me. Just wait, when I come back this time, Ding'an will make your Mu family uneasy and let you know the price of offending me! And that Mu family elder actually dared to covet the demonic fire on me. I'll let you know that not everyone can covet you."
With another sneer in his heart, Gu Yuan picked up the list in his hand, and then took out a map from the space ring. There were many red dots marked on the map. Gu Yuan looked at the map carefully, looking for the place closest to him.
The list that Gu Ting gave him contained nearly a hundred locations. These were all the places where families or villages with the surname Shui were located, and the span was quite large.
Relatively speaking, it would be difficult for Gu Yuan to go there alone, but there was no other way now. His only hope was to stay here. Gu Yuan hoped that even if he traveled all over these places, he could find Shui Yaoyao. It would be better than making all the efforts without any news.
If this is the case, then where should Gu Yuan start looking? Fortunately, he now has some clues.
It was a hope anyway. Gu Yuan looked at the map and found a place marked as Shuilong Village.
Gu Yuan tapped the map and thought to himself, let’s go to this place first!
