"Master Gu, you're welcome," Mo Hua said.

"It should, it should." Master Gu pinched Mo Hua's elbow again and said with a smile, "Young Master has been very kind to our weapon refining business. If you have anything to do in the future, just give me your orders."

Master Gu looked sincere.

Mo Hua's eyes flashed slightly and asked: "Master Gu, how is the current situation of Gushan City?"

"How are you doing?"

"Um."

Master Gu pondered: "The current situation of Gushan City...is very different from before. However, the business of our weapon refining shop is much better. The more spiritual stones we make, the more we earn, and the surrounding livelihoods also improve."

"Many refining masters come to our refining shop to make a living. Those who work in the mining industry and do hard work can also make a living by relying on our refining shop."

"Compared to some prosperous big fairy cities, even some prosperous small and medium-sized fairy cities, it is naturally far inferior. But compared to the previous Gushan City, it is much better, and there are more monks coming and going.

, the city is gradually becoming more alive..."

Mo Hua nodded.

In other words... the situation is improving and life is getting better little by little.

"Then..." Mo Hua lowered his voice and asked, "Has anything happened in Gushan City recently?"

Master Gu couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Master, what kind of thing are you talking about?"

"That is, is there anything weird or weird, or..." Mo Hua's eyes darkened slightly, "A big murder case in which many people died?"

Master Gu looked stern, "A murder case?"

"Yeah," Mo Hua nodded, "The kind where the Tu family is wiped out and a lot of people die."

Master Gu frowned, thought about it seriously, and shook his head, "No."

"No?"

"Well, it has been peaceful recently," Master Gu said, "and in Gushan City, there are mostly scattered families. Since the ruins, there are not many small families, and it is impossible to have the kind of 'killing the family and killing a lot of people'

man's condition."

After all, there are only a few members of the Sanxiu family, so they can't be called "annihilated".

Mo Hua nodded, but felt strange in his heart.

No accidents, no major cases...

The business of the Gu family's weapon refining shop is getting better and better, and the monks in the surrounding area have enough food to eat. There are a lot of people in the city, and it is gradually gaining popularity.

All of this is obviously developing in a good direction.

But why...

That day when the demon sect was being encircled and suppressed, the Diansi named "Fan Jin" whom he met, so wanted to be transferred from Gushan City?

If you just want to be transferred, that's fine.

There is nothing wrong with people going to higher places.

But there was deep fear hidden in his eyes...

What is there in Gushan City that makes him, the Dao Ting Si Jin Dan Dian Si, feel "fearful"?

The more Mo Hua thought about it, the stranger he became, so he asked, "Master Gu, do you know Fan Jin?"

"Fan Jin?" Master Gu was slightly startled, "Young master, you mean, Fan Diansi from Gushan City?"

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded.

"You actually know him." Master Gu was very surprised.

Mo Hua simply said: "By chance, we met once."

Master Gu nodded and didn’t ask any more questions. He thought for a moment and then said:

"I have had a few drinks with this Fan Diansi, and we have become somewhat friendly. He is a pretty good person, but he is a little utilitarian, likes to be a bit arrogant, and is a bit bully, but he is not too outrageous. Normally.

He also follows rules when doing things. Gushan City is too poor and there is not much money to be made, so he, as a magistrate, can be considered 'incorruptible'..."

"Oh..." Mo Hua was thoughtful.

Master Gu observed the words and said in a low voice: "Young Master, has Fan Diansi done something wrong, or has he offended you?"

Mo Hua smiled and said, "It's okay. He said he is Diansi of Gushan City and wants to treat me to dinner. I'll just ask."

Master Gu breathed a sigh of relief and thought that everything was fine.

This Fan Datou really has some eyesight. He can recognize the young master's "thighs" that are so inconspicuous...

The two chatted again, and after having had enough wine and food, Mo Hua returned to Taixu Gate. Before leaving, he said: "Master Gu, we will be on holiday in three days. I will go to Gushan City to take a look then."

Master Gu was stunned when he heard this, then he was overjoyed and said quickly:

"Don't worry, young master, I will definitely make arrangements, and I will come to pick you up personally when the time comes."

Mo Hua smiled and said, "I'd like to thank you, Master."

…

Three days later, Mo Hua rode on the Gu family's carriage, escorted by Master Gu personally, and headed for Gushan City together.

Halfway through the journey, Mo Hua was thinking a lot, and suddenly he felt something in his heart, so he looked up.

He discovered that on a hilltop in the distance, hidden among the deep mountains and old forests, there was a little exposed temple—it was the temple of his old friend Huangshanjun.

"Tiger..."

Mo Hua had an impromptu idea and wanted to pay a visit to Huangshan Jun.

After all, it seems that he hasn't seen this old friend for a long time. I don't know how he is doing now. Is he drinking rainwater and eating sour steamed buns every day?

But then I thought about it, Master Gu was on his way, and the distance to Gushan City was quite far, so stopping by to visit Tiger King would be a bit of a delay.

"Next time... I must go and play with Mr. Huangshan next time."

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

A gust of mountain wind blew through the dry mountains, making the mountains and forests rustle, and the mountain temples in the depths seemed to tremble slightly.

…

Afterwards, Master Gu drove the car, while Mo Hua closed his eyes and rested in the car.

The carriage was traveling at lightning speed, and after more than half a day, we finally arrived at Gushan City.

Mo Hua opened the curtain, stuck his head out, and looked around, taking in a panoramic view of Gushan City.

The mountain city is still relatively dilapidated, with bare stones, withered vegetation, gray sky, surrounded by mostly abandoned mines, and sparsely populated.

Having seen the prosperity of Qianxue Prefecture and its surrounding fairy cities, looking at Gushan City again, one will feel a strong sense of fragmentation.

It can even give people the illusion that these people are actually living in the same world.

But Master Gu was right.

Compared with before, Gushan City has become much better. At least the faces of the monks coming and going are not so depressed and sad, but more angry.

The carriage leisurely moved forward along the bumpy rocky streets and entered a huge weapon refining shop located in the southeast corner of Gushan City.

On the lintel of the Weapon Refining Shop, there is a plaque with the words "Gu Family Weapon Refining Shop" written vigorously, and a small plaque hanging below it reads "Gushan Branch".

Entering the weapon refining shop, there was a lively scene.

Compared with before, the changes in the weapon refining industry have been earth-shaking.

The refining furnace is larger, the molten fire formation is more complete, and there are more refining masters and disciples.

Everyone worked together and put the embryos of spiritual weapons one after another into the refining furnace to bake, quench, and then take them out for forging.

The fire was blazing, and sparks were flying. Rows of all kinds of spiritual weapons, freshly baked from the oven, were neatly placed in the courtyard.

No matter the scale, stoves, manpower, or output, it is far better than before.

Mo Hua has not been to Gushan City for a long time. Ever since the charter was negotiated and the formation and spiritual weapon specifications were decided, he has become the "hands-off shopkeeper".

Looking at the scene in front of him, Mo Hua couldn't help but be a little shocked. He praised Master Gu and said:

"Master Gu, your weapon refining business is getting better and better..."

After being praised, Master Gu looked proud. He raised his hands and saluted Mo Hua and said, "It's all thanks to the young master. Without him, there would be no weapon refining business today."

Mo Hua waved his hand and said modestly: "Wherever you are, I just helped you a little bit."

Master Gu then ordered people to go down, called a large group of weapon-refining disciples, and said: "Come and say hello to Mr. Mo."

"Hello, Mr. Mo!"

A group of strong and sweaty weapon-refining disciples saluted one after another and said in unison:

"I've met Mr. Mo!"

"Young Master Mo is a great benefactor and will never be forgotten!"

This scene was so big that Mo Hua felt a little embarrassed and said hurriedly: "You're welcome, you can go and do your work."
