Chapter 338 The Strange Cook
More and more people came to watch the excitement, and the crowds were crowded in all directions. Gu Zhifei looked coldly at the people around him who didn't know the truth and pointed at him, then lowered his head to look at Ling.
The latter's face was full of undisguised anger.
She suddenly asked: "Why did that third-level monster call you Little Monster King?"
Gu Zhifei took Ling's mask, so the third-level bee monster recognized the wrong monster, otherwise it should have been called Ling.
No matter in the human world or the demon world, anyone who has something to do with the word "king" will not have it easy.
Ling: "My mother is called the Demon King, and I am called the Little Demon King. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Gu Zhifei nodded, indicating that what he said was right, and turned around to send a sound transmission note to Tiantong Daozun, asking him who the demon king in the forbidden area was.
Ling was stunned.
At the same time, the rogue cultivator who was rolling on the ground was also stunned.
He seemed to see something flash in Gu Zhifei's hand, and then there seemed to be nothing. With his eyesight, he really couldn't tell what it was.
He was more inclined to believe that this was some kind of magical weapon on the girl's body.
As for a sect of immortal cultivators, naturally they have more good things than those of these natural and independent cultivators.
This further strengthened the determination of the rogue cultivators.
He was not afraid of things getting out of hand. In fact, these immortal cultivation sects were most afraid of these independent cultivators causing trouble for them.
There are many people in the world who are overly compassionate, and the immortal sects care about their own face. If you make a big deal out of it and then pretend to be a pitiful person who has been bullied, they will not be able to do anything to you.
As for silencing him, that was even more impossible. No one was stupid enough to commit a crime when the wind was blowing. And when the wind was over, he would leave this place and walk far away. After all, he was a lone cultivator.
After Gu Zhifei finished the matters at hand, he went to deal with this wandering cultivator.
Without saying a word, she raised her leg and kicked the casual cultivator in the head.
The wandering cultivator was shocked, they didn't expect that this young girl could act so viciously. He crawled away, looking at Gu Zhifei viciously, with a look on his face that showed that she was in big trouble.
He felt some pain on his cheek and reached out to wipe the blood off his hand.
Gu Zhifei was already at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and Yan Jue's physical strength was even at the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Either of them was enough to give that casual cultivator a hard time.
Gu Zhifei didn't even use his cultivation, he simply raised his leg and kicked, avoiding most of the power, but the casual cultivator still felt his head buzzing.
At this time, if a casual cultivator still thinks that Gu Zhifei relies on the younger generation of his family, then there is really something wrong with his brain.
It's true that he wanted to rob some resources, but he didn't want to lose his life.
Even if he wanted to discredit the family behind this vicious girl, she had to be alive. He couldn't see through the other party's level now, so she had to be at least at the foundation-building level.
If anyone knew about him, he would be laughed at as he was practicing Qigong and was looking for trouble with others who were building their foundation.
Thinking of this, the rogue cultivator planned to run away.
But after all the trouble he's made, wouldn't it be too easy for him to run away now?
Gu Zhifei cast a formation to freeze him, telling him to stay where he was. She deliberately added a lot of spirit stones to the formation base so that the formation could last longer.
In public, the life of a casual cultivator is not in danger, but the things on his body may be taken away by others. Moreover, standing here for two days is enough to embarrass him.
Gu Zhifei looked at him, gestured goodbye to him, and was about to leave with Ling.
The wandering cultivator behind him was still cursing, but Gu Zhifei turned a deaf ear to him. Just when Yu Qi was about to leave, he heard the wandering cultivator's loud cry of pain.
She thought that the wandering cultivator was deliberately trying to attract her attention so that she would release the magic circle. When she was about to leave, she heard people running around frantically.
If only the casual cultivator was causing trouble, then perhaps it could be said that he was acting, but the people around him would never cooperate with him.
Could it be that something really happened? Gu Zhifei turned around and saw that the entire street was empty, and the casual cultivator who was originally standing behind him had turned into a human skin.
There was a huge bloody wound on his head, which was torn very wide, and he seemed to be smiling at Gu Zhifei, which was chilling.
Ling shuddered. He had seen too much blood in the past few days, but none of them was more direct than this time - some of the blood even stained his hands!
Ling kept shaking his hands, but Gu Zhifei felt that this scene was gradually overlapping with the scene when he first came here three years ago.
It's a demon cultivator.
There was actually a demon cultivator mixed in this crowd that she couldn't even detect!
Gu Zhifei looked around, but didn't see any familiar faces, nor did he see any suspicious people.
Maybe the person just left after completing the action without stopping.
Then what was the point of him doing this? Gu Zhifei didn't think these demon cultivators had such good cultivation and knew how to act bravely.
I don't even think he's doing this for himself.
Gu Zhifei is now almost certain that the demon cultivator's restlessness is closely related to Leng Nuan. Not to mention standing up for himself, the demon cultivator may even want to kill him.
Since neither of them was the case, Gu Zhifei's curiosity was aroused.
Coincidentally, she obtained a book of high-level formations from an unknown tomb, and the first of the ten formations in it was the Origin Tracing Formation.
This formation is not offensive, but as long as there is a trace of residual aura, it can guide the person who sets up the formation to find the owner of the aura.
This formation is not too difficult, and it is just right for Gu Zhifei to use now.
She took out the Tianji Plate, set the formation base, placed the spirit stones, and input spiritual power lightly. The white chaotic aura wrapped around the corpse of a casual cultivator and extracted the demonic energy from it.
In less than the blink of an eye, a complete route map appeared in Gu Zhifei's sea of consciousness.
The formation diagram that was favored by the half-step ascendant boss was indeed extraordinary. Gu Zhifei felt its power just from the first formation.
The map in the spiritual consciousness even marked how long that person stayed in each place, his approximate cultivation level, and his current overall condition.
The demon cultivator who caused this commotion was only in the middle stage of foundation building, but the destructive power that a demon cultivator could cause was extremely great. Gu Zhifei was not sure that he could fight him head-on, so he decided to wait and see.
She couldn't run fast with Ling, the burden, and was always hanging at the end, following the instructions of the tracing array slowly and steadily.
The unfortunate demon cultivator didn't even notice that Gu Zhifei was following him, and he swaggered into the ghost town.
Gu Zhifei didn't expect that she would return to the ghost town in such a way.
She also didn't expect that a year and a half later, the entire ghost town would become as desolate as it is today.
The original ghost town was always somewhat lifeless. You could see the depressing buildings but no monks running around.
Now it is just the opposite. You can see the monks running around in depression, but you can't see the original buildings.
Her first reaction was to contact Hua Wuya.
However, the sound transmission note that was sent out received no response at all.
Logically speaking, she was already so close to the ghost town, how could Hua Wuya not receive any news from her? Gu Zhifei's eyes darkened slightly, thinking of the demon cultivator who had sneaked in, and he had some general thoughts in his mind.
She decided to sit back and hide in the ghost town.
Of course, Gu Zhifei could choose to go directly to Hua Wuya, but that would also mean that he would be immediately exposed to the enemy.
She thought that she and Hua Wuya, one in the light and the other in the dark, could complement each other and perhaps achieve unexpected results.
She moved into the inn with Ling and sent a text message to Hua Wuya, saying that she was in a ghost town and if Hua Wuya needed any help, he could just say so.
This time, Gu Zhifei got the news quickly. The message was short, which was very inconsistent with Hua Wuya's usual style, but one could tell it came from her at a glance:
No need, let’s go.
Gu Zhifei became even more certain that something big had happened here.
She wanted to flip through her book on formations, but when she turned around, she found that Ling was gone.
She was startled and hurriedly got up to look for him.
She was the one who brought the little demon king out of the barrier, so she had the obligation to bring him back with his arms and legs intact.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
If I lose him here, it will be all my fault.
Gu Zhifei was upset. She had lost her vigilance towards Ling today. She thought that after the incident with the third-level bee monster, he would not run around again. Who would have thought that this ancestor would still do whatever he wanted.
Gu Zhifei went out and looked around, and finally, he had an idea and found Ling in the kitchen.
He was sitting next to an aunt in coarse cloth clothes peeling sweet potatoes.
Gu Zhifei finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ling. He took two steps forward and pulled Ling up. He smiled apologetically at the cook and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry. The child is naughty and has caused you trouble."
The aunt looked at Ling lovingly and shook her head, saying, "It's okay. This little guy is lovable."
Then she added: "I have a boy of this age at home, and seeing him reminds me of my own child."
Ling was chewing on a sweet potato and had no time to pay attention to any of them.
Seeing that the cook was indeed not very skilled, Gu Zhifei relaxed a little: "Auntie, why are you working here by yourself?"
The population of the ghost town is complex. Not to mention ordinary people without any cultivation, even some independent cultivators are unwilling to set foot there easily.
If you don't have any skills, it's hard to survive here.
The aunt just smiled and said, "The money given here is a lot. I plan to work here for a year or so and then go back. I won't stay long."
Gu Zhifei nodded to show that he understood.
People always have to eat. It's complicated here, but it may not be simple outside.
The least valuable thing in the ghost town is silver, and the only thing the aunt needs is silver. The two get what they need, and everyone is happy.
Seeing that the aunt's eyes were glued to Ling, Gu Zhifei made a decision: "Aunt, you also know that the environment here is complicated. You have been here for a long time, so I think it will be no problem for you to take care of a child. I have to go out sometimes, and it is not convenient to leave this child with me or alone. It is better to let him come to find you, so that he can have a companion."
Upon hearing this, the aunt's face was filled with joy: "Is it true? Are you sure?"
Gu Zhifei sighed: "I'm telling you the truth, Auntie, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I'm naturally worried, but it's even more dangerous for him to be with me. It's better for him to follow you, maybe it's safer."
Because of the characteristics of Gong Yu, a monster like this, unless it is someone with extremely high magical powers, they would not be able to tell that he is a monster from the forbidden area and would just treat him as an ordinary child.
But if he followed the monk, others would look at her twice.
Gu Zhifei was telling the truth.
In troubled times, mortal lives are the least valuable, but it is precisely because of this that no one wants mortal lives.
The aunt didn't know Gu Zhifei's identity. She probably missed her child very much. She touched Ling's head and assured Gu Zhifei: "Don't worry, young lady. I will never let this child get into trouble. Just go and do your thing!"
Gu Zhifei nodded and felt relieved after arranging Ling.
She originally wanted to tell the cook that if anything happened to Ling, she should send her back to the Seven Stars Gate, but she soon realized that this was not a good idea.
The cook didn't know their identities and just treated them as ordinary people. If she knew that they were monks, she might cause some trouble.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhifei swallowed back the plan he was about to say.
Ling, who was chewing a sweet potato, didn't listen to what they said at all, and didn't know why she was suddenly arranged like this.
He had only one thought in his mind.
This sweet potato smells so good! Gu Zhifei asked Ling to stay with the cook for a while longer, and he returned to his room.
Of course, she did not forget to set up a protective formation for Ling, so that if someone attacked Ling, she could arrive at the scene immediately.
After doing all this, she calmly opened the formation book she had brought a while ago.
She has already read through all the formations taught in the Seven Stars Sect's intermediate class. Except for a few complicated formations that she has not yet fully comprehended, she has basically mastered the rest.
What she wanted to study most now was the green-covered book on the ten great formations.
Today, she had used the Tracing Formation briefly and had already felt the power of this formation. And this formation was only the simplest and most basic of the ten formations.
Gu Zhifei flipped through the formation techniques at the back and felt that they were extremely profound and difficult to comprehend.
After studying for a long time, it was not until Ling walked in with a burp that Gu Zhifei came back to his senses and asked him:
"Where have you been?"
Ling looked puzzled: "Didn't you come to look for me? I'm staying with the cook."
Gu Zhifei nodded, then suddenly looked up and looked at Ling who was burping: "What did you eat?"
"Just some sweet potatoes." Ling approached her and took one out of his pocket slyly, "I brought one for you, try it, it tastes delicious."
But this is not what Gu Zhifei cares about.
You know, Ling ate the spiritual fruits from two entire mountains, but it still couldn't fill his bottomless pit.
What kind of sweet potato was it that made him feel full? After taking the sweet potato, Gu Zhifei's expression was somewhat interesting.
The sweet potato is more delicious than the fruits on two mountains. Will she die of overeating it?
Gu Zhifei's worries were not as great as her curiosity.
She peeled off a piece of sweet potato, lowered her head and took a bite. She found that this sweet potato was full of spiritual energy and was indeed not an ordinary sweet potato.
After just a small bite, Gu Zhifei already felt full. The sweet feeling exploded in her mouth, making her unable to resist eating the potato in just a few bites.
Indeed, in the ghost town, whether human or ghost, everyone has to be good at cooking. Even a cook here can make such delicious spiritual food, which is worthy of her staying here.
