Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 336 I bumped into my mother

Different people have different tastes.

Some people may think that high-end restaurants are delicious and refined, but Gu Zhao thinks that the old shops in the city are delicious and satisfying, and the seafood tastes better than many high-end restaurants.

Seafood congee, grilled oysters, stir-fried razor clams, squid tubes, boiled shrimp...

The old shop is full of the warmth and life of everyday life. The seemingly messy dishes are full of vitality, rather than being rigidly beautifully presented.

Xiao Ya took a sip of bayberry juice and asked Gu Zhao with some confusion, "Since everyone here has cultivators, why would they target us?"

Gu Zhao's answer was concise: "Because their cultivators cannot stop bullets, nor can they fly."

Jiang Shishi raised an eyebrow, "Is he really that useless?"

Xiao Ya, "..."

"To put it simply, most cultivators abroad, at the level of those two you met in Siam, can perform some hypnosis or weaken and make people sick," Gu Zhao said.

"Is the difference really that big?" Xiao Ya asked in surprise. "Why is that?"

"Because we have a cultural and historical heritage spanning five thousand years," Gu Zhao said with a smile.

Jiang Shishi used her chopsticks to pick up an oyster and brought it to Gu Zhao's lips. Watching Gu Zhao eat it in one bite, she smiled broadly. However, upon hearing Gu Zhao's words, she still asked curiously, "Although our civilization is very ancient, there must be ancient civilizations abroad as well, right?"

After a pause, Jiang Shishi continued, "Aren't there four ancient civilizations? And what about that splendid ancient Greece?"

Xiao Ya smiled and peeled several razor clams for Gu Zhao, jokingly asking, "Is it straw sandals and papyrus paper that have been preserved for thousands of years, or stone tablets without any signs of weathering, statues and temples with exposed steel bars?"

Jiang Shishi laughed, "And there's also a Bible unearthed on demand, and a three-in-one text comparison table stone tablet, right?"

"You know that too? Then why did you ask?" Gu Zhao said with a smile.

"I'm just curious, does history and culture have such a big influence on the cultivation world?" Jiang Shishi asked curiously.

“Very large.” Gu Zhao ate the razor clams in his bowl, sensing the ancient and mysterious aura of the Five Thunder Token in his sea of ​​consciousness. He had already guessed that it was “larger than you can imagine.”

Xiao Ya said thoughtfully, "So they will definitely pay attention to the cultivators in our country. The two of us have golden bracelets and we are with you, which may attract their attention."

“That’s right.” Gu Zhao nodded. “Of course, they can’t come up with anything fancy. I’m just reminding you to be careful.”

Jiang Shishi asked with great interest, "Will they deliberately approach us, try to please us, and then try to get information from us?"

Xiao Ya had more to consider: "What if they use us as hostages to threaten you?"

Before Gu Zhao could even speak, Jiang Shishi leaned over and said to Xiao Ya, "We have the Golden Gang Bracelet, what's there to be afraid of? Besides, didn't my husband say that someone is protecting us in secret?"

At this point, Jiang Shishi suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Wouldn't this be troubling them?"

Gu Zhao looked around but did not find anyone with the Vajra Mystic Talisman nearby.

This is normal, after all, he flew out with two women invisibly. Even if someone was secretly protecting them, they would be on standby at the residential area and their workplace. After all, it is much safer in China than abroad.

Just then, a voice transmission from Daoist Ming Chong came from Gu Zhao's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Sect Leader, the people from the Taoist Studies Office just delivered some information. It seems that Senior Brother Yihong's identity has been discovered, there are more tourists around Baiyun Temple, and some people are inquiring about Daoist Yihong's whereabouts."

"Oh?" Gu Zhao raised an eyebrow. "Through Xiao Ya's grandfather's connections, the office diverted the attention of those with ulterior motives to Baiyun Temple, exposing Senior Brother Yihong, but unexpectedly locking onto several suspects who weren't on the list before," Master Ming Chong said.

Gu Zhao was speechless. "A twist of fate?"

Master Mingchong smiled and said, "A blessing in disguise."

So Gu Zhao looked at Jiang Shishi and said, "It's no trouble at all. Maybe we can even catch a few big fish through you guys."

Jiang Shishi: (ω)
As stated before, Gu Zhao and the others will not deliberately hide it, but they will not actively reveal it either. Their relatives and friends still need to live normal lives, and the public will gradually accept the existence of the extraordinary.

Sometimes, secrets that are exposed by outsiders are more easily accepted by family members.

As Gu Zhao was thinking, his eyes flickered slightly, and he grinned a little.

Because he had just been sensing his surroundings and had not yet withdrawn his divine sense, he sensed two figures holding the Vajra Mystic Talisman approaching. Not far in front of them, his mother was walking with another woman of similar age.

"You know what, the face cream you recommended to me is actually quite effective." A woman of about the same age, with exquisite makeup and a good figure, said while carefully looking at Li Man with envy in her eyes, "But she's still far behind you."

If she hadn't known Li Man for a long time, she would have suspected that Li Man had undergone cosmetic surgery. However, after repeated confirmation from her group of friends, Li Man still had her natural face and had not had any surgery, which made them envious.

"It might be due to skin differences," Li Man offered as an excuse. "It works fine for me."

"I really envy you. No wonder you're from Sichuan, your skin is so good." The woman joked, then didn't dwell on the topic and continued, "You absolutely have to come to my son's wedding next month!"

"Definitely, definitely," Li Man said with a smile. "Old Gu and I will definitely be there for such an important event."

"By the way, your Xiao Zhao graduated over a year ago, right? Still no girlfriend?" the woman asked. "Would you like to be my Ruixuan's best man and get to know the bridesmaids?"

The woman boasted, "My daughter-in-law is a dancer with the Guangzhou Art and Dance Troupe. Her colleagues are all highly educated, beautiful, and have great figures."

When this topic came up, Li Man clicked her tongue.

Yes, my son is indeed capable. He is not only tall and handsome, but he has also cultivated Taoism and developed real skills. At a young age, he has entered the top metaphysical circles in the country.

A golden bracelet brings health benefits, protection, and invulnerability. After taking a pill and a bottle of medicinal wine, she and her husband both looked more than ten years younger, and their lives became more harmonious.

Although cheerful and lively, Li Man is ultimately a traditional woman, and she can't help but worry about Gu Zhao's marriage. In her opinion, life is not complete without marriage and children.

Although Gu Zhao has a lot of study materials on his computer, he rarely looks at them now!
Li Man sometimes suspected that Gu Zhao had achieved some success in his Taoist practice and was actually preparing to become a Taoist priest and remain single for the rest of his life.

It's not good for him to be cultivating Taoism all day and never see anyone. We can't let the Gu family line die out, can we?

Li Man was considering the possibility of calling Gu Zhao out, having him serve as a groomsman, let him meet people his own age, and introduce him to a few girls who practice dance. She didn't expect it to work out immediately, but she wanted to at least pique his interest...

"This is the place, the food is amazing." The woman stopped at the entrance of the old shop and pulled Li Man inside.

Li Man was pulled into the old shop by the woman. Her eyes glanced around and she saw a familiar figure. Then she saw two bright and beautiful women sitting next to that familiar figure.

A woman peeled shrimp with her delicate hands and placed it in a small bowl in front of him, while another woman picked up an oyster and brought it to his mouth.

Li Man: ╭(°A°`)╮
