"Priest Shi Jian, I am Gu Zhou from Qingshan Town.”
Gu Zhou introduced himself." Everyone says that you're a true expert. I wonder if I have the aptitude to cultivate in the long run?"”
Shi Jian slightly closed his eyes and said indifferently," Young Master, you have an imposing appearance. You are rich and powerful. Why do you need to pursue an illusory immortal encounter?" Moreover, cultivation was boring. Young Master had endless wealth in the mortal world, so there was no need for him to step into this hopeless cultivation path.”
Shi Jian's rejection was obvious.
However, Gu Zhou managed to catch some information from his painting. Shi Jian had only rejected him, not denied that he had the cultivation method.
This was just a preliminary test. Gu Zhou did not expect Shi Jian to be so shocked that he would beg him to be his disciple.
"So, Daoist Shi Jian has a cultivation method?”
Gu Zhou asked.
" I'm from the Mao Mountain lineage," Shi Jian said lightly." The Mao Mountain lineage has been passed down for two thousand years. Naturally, there are true inheritances."”
"Then how can I enter Mao Mountain?"
Gu Zhou asked again.
"Young Master, you are not fated to be with Mao Mountain." Shi Jian smiled.”
Shi Jian refused again, but Gu Zhou did not give up. The inheritance of two thousand years was not something that could be accepted just like that. At the very least, it had to go through a test before it could be accepted into the sect.
Even Sun Wukong had to kneel in front of the Three Stars Cave for three days and three nights before he was accepted into the door.
Gu Zhou didn't continue this topic, lest he got bored of it. He wanted Shi Jian to see his sincerity, so he changed the topic and talked about the woman who was suspected to be a demon.
Shi Jian nodded slightly." From what you've said, Young Master, I can confirm that this woman is most likely a mandrill."”
"Mandrill?"
"Why are you so sure that it's a mandrill?" Gu Zhou asked curiously.”
Shi Jian explained," It can't be a ghost. It's because ordinary ghosts can't appear in broad daylight. Of course, if one's cultivation is high enough, a malicious ghost can also appear in broad daylight. But if the ghost's cultivation is really high, it doesn't have to go through so much trouble to charm people. It can just harm people."”
"As for demons, those who can transform into humans are all great demons. Similarly, there's no need to use low-level methods like charm.”
"That is why I have determined that this demon is a mandrill with such habits.”
Information about the mandrill flashed through Gu Zhou's mind. It was mentioned in the Mountain and Sea Scripture: "In the south, there is a Gan Giant. He has a human face and long arms. His body is black and has hair. He has reverse heels. When he sees people laughing, he also smiles. His lips cover his face, so he immediately runs away.
Another said: Mandrill, is a kind of monster in the mountains, long body, black body, infinite strength.
Legend had it that it could run faster than leopards and could tear apart tigers and leopards with its bare hands. It was the overlord of the mountains and had an extremely long lifespan, so it was regarded as a demon.
Shi Jian continued," Mandrills like to abduct people, and those who are skilled like to use illusions to confuse people. Usually, they will wear women's clothes and use illusions. When ordinary people see them, they will think that they are beauties.”
"As for those with higher cultivation, they would wear human skin and would not be able to see through unless they had attained the Dao.”
Gu Zhou gulped." Taoist Master, is the human skin on this mandrill peeled off or drawn?"”
He thought of a story about a hideous devil who put on a human skin painted with colored brushes and disguised himself as a beloved beauty. He used all kinds of deception to achieve the purpose of splitting people's stomachs and digging out their hearts.
Shi Jian shook his head." How can a mandrill paint their skin? The human skin they wear is peeled off from the dead."”
Gu Zhou sucked in a breath of cold air. This meant that a beautiful woman had been killed by the mandrill. The mandrill skinned her and used her appearance to charm people and harm them.
"Daoist Priest, the mandrill is in the county town. Please help me subdue the demon!”
Gu Zhou cupped his hands solemnly.
Encountering it twice in a day, this mandrill was very likely to have its eyes on him. If he did not get rid of it, he would not be able to rest day and night.
Shi Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly." There are hundreds of thousands of people in the county town. Mandrill is cunning and won't stay in one place all the time. Moreover, it can change its skin at any time. I'm not a god. Where can I find it?"”
"However, if Young Master sees the mandrill again, you can send someone to send a message that I will go back and subdue the demon.”
Shi Jian added,
"Actually, Young Master doesn't have to worry too much. The probability of encountering a mandrill again is too low in the vast sea of people. Young Master, leave this talisman behind to resist the mandrill's bewitchment.”
"Thank you, Taoist priest." Gu Zhou took the talisman with both hands.”
"By the way, Taoist priest, do the mandrill have any weaknesses?”
Shi Jian pondered for a moment." The mandrill is actually a mortal. It's just that it's extremely strong. It can tear apart tigers and leopards with its bare hands. It's as fast as a leopard, but it can be killed by swords and blades. As long as it's not affected by the mandrill's illusion, a well-trained martial artist can take care of it with more than ten swords and clubs.”
Hearing this, Gu Zhou heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as he could kill them using physical means.
If it was a malicious ghost, he could only sit there and wait.
…………
After leaving Shangqing Monastery and returning to the inn, Gu Zhou opened the door of time and space and returned to the modern world. He drove to a gold shop in the city center.
After a simple investigation, this chain of gold shops was well-known.
When they arrived at the gold shop, Gu Zhou directly explained his purpose of coming. He said that he had a relatively large amount of gold to deal with. The gold shop manager smiled and said,
"How much gold do you want to sell, sir? I can make the decision for anything under 100 kilograms.”
Gu Zhou blushed." Not that much. 19 kilograms."”
The manager of the gold shop looked normal and stated that the purchase price was 340 yuan per gram. Their gold shop was a national chain and had a good reputation.
Gu Zhou knew that this price was already very good. He immediately agreed to the deal and gave the backpack to the gold shop for inspection.
The final transaction price was 2261000. He directly transferred the money to the bank. When he saw the notification on his phone that the money had been transferred, Gu Zhou was delighted. He had become a millionaire just like that?
Although millionaires were not considered anything now, there were still a few people with two million in cash.
Moreover, his two million was only for a short period of time. Perhaps after a while, this two million would become twenty million or two hundred million.
Then, Gu Zhou started to buy the basic materials for making simple explosives.
Gu Zhou bought every basic material separately. Some of them were even synthesized into basic materials.
Because his father was a policeman, Gu Zhou had been influenced since he was young. In addition, he majored in chemistry in university, so he was familiar with the main components of bomb making and even the process. He had successfully made it in high school and threw it into a pond to fry a few fish.
If there was enough time, Gu Zhou could even make a gun.
This time, they were going to deal with the mandrill, so Gu Zhou had made the bomb for the sake of its power.
