"The wilderness is a prison."
This is the information Gu Xu got before at Chi Yangzi's grave.
Luo Chuan’s words obviously corroborate each other.
"The human world we know is actually the underworld," Luo Chuan continued to say, "and the fairy world above the nine heavens we know is actually the real human world.
"There are no gods in the true sense of the word who created the world and live as long as heaven in the Nine Heavens. There are only mortals who are successful in cultivation and powerful enough to rival the gods.
"Tai Shang Haotian and Emperor Zi Wei are the most powerful beings who have cultivated the Dao.
"They were originally like-minded fellow Taoists, and they once led the The human race wiped out the demon and fairy clan, making the human race the overlord of the upper world.
"But later, due to differences of opinion, the two parted ways and turned against each other.
"They fought so hard that they were inseparable until Supreme Haotian used despicable tactics. , achieved the final victory.
"As the loser, Emperor Ziwei died, his body and mind were destroyed.
"His followers had their memories erased and were imprisoned in the underworld. .
"In the prison of the underworld, people will turn into new ghosts after death, and ghosts will be reincarnated into humans after being eliminated. As long as humans exist, ghosts and monsters can never be killed.
" p>
“The sworn blood feud between humans and ghosts is actually a fratricide between compatriots from generation to generation.
“The ghosts we killed with our own hands may have been our comrades who fought side by side with us many reincarnations ago.
“This is what Taishang Haotian said to his enemies. punish. "
While speaking, Luo Chuan could no longer restrain his emotional fluctuations, and his tone became more and more impassioned.
He added the words "Tai Shang Haotian" The bite was very severe, and it seemed that he had a deep hatred for him like killing his father and seizing his wife.
"Since the wilderness is a prison used to punish the followers of Emperor Ziwei," Gu Xu raised his own question. , "Then why does the practice method still exist?"
"Little friend Gu, you have seen Kongxuan Sanren who failed to ascend, and you have also learned about Chiyangzi who went crazy before he ascended," Luo Chuan replied , "I must have already guessed that there is something wrong with Dahuang's practice method."
Gu Xu nodded.
On the "Naihe Bridge", the man with the same appearance appeared. The white-haired boy who looked exactly like him told him that the ninth realm of spiritual practice, "the path to immortality," was a scam.
"Actually, the method of spiritual practice was essentially laid down by Supreme Supreme Haotian. Trap," Luo Chuan continued, "Everyone in the wilderness thinks that as long as they reach the ninth realm and successfully survive the catastrophe, they can ascend to the fairy world, escape the sea of suffering, and gain eternal life.
“But in fact, all practitioners who try to ascend will eventually die from thunder tribulation.
“Perhaps in the eyes of Supreme Haotian, this is the cruelest punishment in the world. , that is, let people see hope first, and thenKill all hope. "
"In other words, those who ascended in the past, such as the ancestors of the four great clans, actually died in the thunder tribulation." Gu Xu frowned slightly and asked.
"Yes," Luo Chuan replied, "They are all dead. In other words, they have all entered a new reincarnation. ”
Luo Chuan’s words made Gu Xu’s heart feel chilly.
He suddenly felt that the human race in the wilderness was like Sisyphus in Greek mythology. Everyone They naively thought that as long as they pushed the boulder to the top of the mountain, the suffering would be over.
However, when they were about to reach the top of the mountain, the heavy boulder would roll down the mountain and all their efforts would be wasted.
< p>The cycle goes on and on, never ending.“Master Chief, since Supreme Haotian and Emperor Ziwei are enemies, why do people want to make them into two-faced gods? Let’s worship together”
“Because of the incense. As far as I know, if you want to ascend to the highest realm, the power of incense is crucial. Because the power of incense is not related to the immortal's body, but to the name of the immortal. Therefore, after defeating Emperor Ziwei
Tai Shang Haotian took Emperor Ziwei's name as his own in order to rob the power of incense that originally belonged to Emperor Ziwei. ”
These words of Luo Sishou reminded Gu Xu of the remarks he made at Longmen Academy not long ago
He said that a person’s name can be understood as a The special talisman gave him his identity and the meaning of his existence in this world, and also gave others a way to know him.
Then he boldly made a guess like "Tai Shang Haotian". The names of the gods such as "Emperor Ziwei" can also be regarded as a kind of talisman, which not only symbolizes the authority of the gods, but also serves as a link between the gods and believers.
Today's Luochuan. The words clearly confirmed his conjecture.
At the same time, he also thought that the "Hui Lu" rune in his consciousness sea might have set fire to him unknowingly.
"What role does Tianxing Emperor play?" Gu Xu continued to ask, "I remember that Kongxuan Sanren was against Tianxing. The emperor was very afraid, and even left the words "Be careful with the sky, don't ask for ascension" through the acrostic words on Mount Laoshan. "
"Tianxing Emperor, or in other words, the holder of the Tai'a Sword, is the guardian of this prison," Luo Chuan replied, "The magic weapon of the Tai'a Sword, like all other names, is the guardian of this prison." The weapons are all different. It is the key to this prison, and it is also the authority given to the Emperor of Da Qi by Supreme Haotian. "
Speaking of this, Luochuan paused for a moment and asked Gu Xu, "Did you see the golden thunder in the sky on the day Luojing City was destroyed?"
"Yes. "Gu Xu nodded.
The movement in the sky was too great. Even if he was busy killing ghosts at that time, it was impossible for him to not notice it.
"That's Emperor Tianxing. With the power of thunder summoned by Tai'a Sword," Luo Chuan explained, "WithEmperor Tianxing with the Tai'a Sword can not only temporarily borrow the power of Supreme Haotian, but also control the heavenly tribulation and eliminate all hidden dangers in the prison.
“Because of this, the fighting power of Emperor Tianxing far exceeds that of ordinary eighth-level monks.
“The ghost king of Mangshan was easily eliminated by him, and the new true king Zhao Changying was also struck by lightning and was dying. If I had not secretly rescued him, I am afraid that the leader of the Yan Kingdom would have died in the middle of the road less than a day after he became king.
"I think the reason why Kongxuan Sanren is very afraid of Emperor Tianxing is probably because in the process of overcoming the heavenly tribulation, he discovered that the terrifying thunder tribulation did not come from God's will, but from God's will. Under the control of Emperor Tianxing, his mentality collapsed and he fell into despair. From then on, he became a ghost and began to take revenge on the world."
Gu Xu remained silent.
He suddenly understood the feelings of Kong Xuan Sanren. He had practiced hard all his life to ascend, but found that all his efforts were a big joke. When encountering this kind of thing, no matter who it was, he should be able to Nervous breakdown.
“However, it is not an easy task to bear the power of gods,” Luo Chuan continued. “While the emperors of Da Qi gained power, they also paid a corresponding price.
p>"On the one hand, they will be affected by Taishang Haotian's will, lose their original personalities and thoughts, and become tools to guard the prison for "Tai Shang Haotian".
“Before taking the throne, among the princes and princesses, there were passionate young men who aspired to become wise kings, playboys who were greedy for pleasure, and brave warriors galloping on the battlefield.
“But after taking the throne After that, they all abandoned their original interests and ideals, became indifferent, had no intention of understanding secular government affairs, and would not take the initiative to eliminate ghosts. < /p>
"In addition, borrowing the power of Haotian from the sky will also cause backlash to their bodies and souls, which will not only consume extra life span, but also require a long period of rest and recuperation before they can recover.
"Therefore, after Emperor Tianxing defeated Zhao Changying, he could not continue to pursue him, nor could he personally deal with you, a wanted criminal. He could only return to Qianyang Palace to retreat and recuperate."
p>"It seems that being the emperor in the Daqi Dynasty is also an unfortunate thing." Gu Xu sighed.
Gu Xu felt very ironic when he thought of the princes who fought against each other and fought to the death for the right to inherit the throne. In the end, they just became puppets guarding the prison for "Tai Shang Haotian".
After a brief silence, Gu Xu asked another question that he was very curious about, "Sir, how come you know so many secret things?"
Luochuan knew " The grievances and grievances between "Tai Shang Haotian" and "Emperor Zi Wei", as well as the story behind the Da Qi royal family and "Tai'a Sword". Anyone who knows these amazing secrets must be by no means an ordinary person.
SimilarAs if Gu Xu's question brought back some sad memories, Luo Chuan let out a long sigh and replied, "When he was in the upper realm, Emperor Ziwei had several loyal and trusted subordinates around him.
“They were named after stars, namely Zuofu, Youbi, Tiankui, Tianyue, Wenchang, Wenqu, Lucun and Tianma. People call them Star Lords.
“In the life-and-death battle between Taishang Haotian and Emperor Ziwei, the rest of the Star Lords died with the Emperor and their souls were scattered. Only Wenchang Star Lord survived and was imprisoned in the wilderness. In this prison.
“Actually, Lord Wenchang Xing wanted to live and die together with the Lord to whom he was loyal, but he shouldered the Emperor’s last hope and could not die easily.
"Before his death, the emperor left a blessing on his body, allowing him to retain his memory in reincarnation again and again.
"In this way, Lord Wenchang Xing firmly remembered the hatred of that year and waited silently for countless days and nights.
"Until this life, he finally saw a glimmer of light in this desperate prison."
Speaking of this, Luo Chuan stared at the person beside him. Gu Xu. His eyes were no longer as calm as before, but instead were full of excitement and fanatical emotions, as if a raging fire could burn everything in the house to ashes at any time.
"So, Lord Chief," Gu Xu looked at him calmly, "you are the Wenchang Xingjun beside Emperor Ziwei"
"It's me." Luo Chuan nodded.
His eyes showed mixed emotions, as if this identity made him feel both proud and ashamed.
"Your true cultivation should be more than the realm of a saint.
"In a one-on-one contest, if Emperor Tianxing doesn't have the Tai'a sword on his body, I can easily beat him. "
"Then who am I?" Gu Xu continued to ask, "If I were just an ordinary monk, the chief minister would not share these stories with me. "
"Of course you are not an ordinary monk," Luo Chuan suddenly raised his voice and looked at him seriously and said, "You are the emperor's chosen successor and his back-up man in this world. When you completely inherit his cause and effect and awaken his power, you will be the new Ziwei Emperor.
"And I can be regarded as your protector."
"The successor of Karma is the new Ziwei Emperor." Gu Xu thought about these few days over and over in his mind. At the same time, I thought of my dual destiny, my talent for cultivation far beyond ordinary people, my power of "time" and "cosmos", and how I could easily learn the meteor and moon movement and star array spells with just one look. He could feel that the white-haired boy in the conscious world was smiling, nodding slightly, agreeing with Luo Chuan's words.
"No wonder Emperor Tianxing suddenly wants to kill me," Gu Xu smiled helplessly, "As Supreme Haotian's eagle dog, he certainly cannot tolerate a successor to Emperor Ziwei."
"Before this, I had alwaysTry your best to hide your existence in front of Emperor Tianxing," Luo Chuan said, "Because Emperor Tianxing spends most of the time in seclusion to recuperate his body and soul, so I used some tricks and successfully deceived him. , and even let the court pass the unreasonable proposal that the winners of the Luoshui Conference can enter the royal treasury, giving you a chance to get the astrolabe.
"However, when you established contact with the astrolabe
, the will of Supreme Haotian came to Emperor Tianxing. He saw you at a glance and saw As for the causal connection between you and Emperor Ziwei, fortunately, since the passage between the Great Wilderness and the Upper Realm has been cut off, Taishang Haotian cannot come in person and can only use the hands of the Daqi royal family to deal with you."
Gu Xu looked down at the table with serious eyes.
He believed that he was not a particularly ambitious person in his past life. If he had a choice, he would rather be an ordinary monk and live an ordinary and happy life with his family and friends instead of living a precarious life like now, burdened with the cause and effect and hatred of the gods in the upper world, being hunted by the court.
Unfortunately, fate never gave him a chance to make a choice.
From the moment "Tai Shang Haotian" noticed him, he could only move forward and had no way out.
"The astrolabe was the magic weapon used by the emperor back then," Luo Chuan said again at this time, "After the emperor died in the battle, the astrolabe broke into pieces and fell into the wilderness.
"If If you can find its fragments and put them back together, you can inherit part of the emperor's power. "
"Part of the Emperor's power"
"There is also a part of the power hidden in your soul. You need to find it and dig it yourself. "
Gu Xu guessed that the so-called "power in the soul" should refer to the seal on the white-haired boy. To be precise, it refers to the "authority" hidden under the nail.
< p>"Do you know where the remaining fragments of the astrolabe are?""I don't know. But I think the emperor may have left you a clue in some special way. "
"After I fully inherit these powers, will I be able to deal with Emperor Tianxing and Supreme Haotian behind him?" Gu Xu raised the most critical question.
" I can't jump to conclusions," Luo Chuan shook his head, "But I believe that by that time, you will become very, very strong. "
The candlelight on the long table swayed gently, illuminating his face.
"I have one last question," Gu Xu thought for a while , and asked, "Master Chief, the Ghost King of Mangshan once told me that you and it had reached an agreement."
"Yes," before Gu Xu finished speaking, Luo Chuan simply said He admitted, "I promise it that I will not interfere with its invasion of Luojing City and destruction of the Tianlong Formation, but I ask it to promise not to do anything to harm you." "
"Do you want to use its power to deal with Emperor Tianxing?" Gu Xu asked.
"AccurateTo be honest, I want to use it and Zhao Changying's hands to consume Emperor Tianxing's power. It is best to force Emperor Tianxing to use the power of heavenly tribulation," Luo Chuan explained. "I predict that after that battle, , Emperor Tianxing needs at least nearly a year and a half to recuperate his body and soul before he can use the Tai'a Sword again to carry the power of Supreme Haotian.
"In other words, you have one and a half years to find the fragments of the astrolabe, awaken the power in your soul, and become the new Emperor Ziwei before Emperor Tianxing has the ability to deal with you personally. ."
"One and a half years" Gu Xu took a deep breath.
He has always felt that his time is very tight. If he cannot become a saint within twelve years, he will die. This certainly sounds like a suffocating thing.
But compared with this "one and a half years", "twelve years" seems very long.
"In addition, Gu Xiaoyou, because I need to stay in Luojing City, play the role of the head of the exorcism department, and keep an eye on every move of Emperor Tianxing, so I can't go with you. Looking for the fragments of the astrolabe," Luo Chuan spoke again, breaking the silence in the room, "But before we say goodbye, I can give you a gift, a gift that can help you avoid being hunted by the Qi court."
Having said this, he looked at the woman in green standing by the wall and said to her, "Bring that mask over quickly."
The woman in green nodded obediently.
Just now, while Luo Chuan and Gu Xu were talking, she had been quietly staying in an inconspicuous position in the room, almost making her presence ignored.
After hearing Luo Chuan's instructions, she held both sides of her fox mask with both hands and pushed it up slightly, as if preparing to take it off her face.
Gu Xu turned to look at her, feeling more and more that she gave him a familiar feeling from her figure to her voice to her temperament.
He thought to himself that if the problem really lies in the mask, then after she takes off the mask, I should be able to recognize her identity just like I recognized Luo Sishou.
However, the fox mask was only halfway taken off when the woman in green suddenly chuckled and put it back on.
The half of the small and straight nose bridge that was just exposed was tightly blocked again.
Gu Xu felt that she must be making fun of herself.
Then, the woman in green took out another pure black half-face mask engraved with feather patterns from her storage magic weapon, and handed it to Gu Xu's hand.
“This is a magic weapon that every member of Qing Ming has,” Luo Chuan pointed to the mask and introduced, “It can not only cover the appearance, but also block tracking and divination spells, and even cut off cause and effect. Your connection with the outside world.
“When you wear this mask, even if you stand in front of your loved ones who live with you day and night, it will be almost impossible for them to recognize you.
“However, this mask also has some side effects. If you wear it for too long, the effect of cutting off cause and effect will become irreversible. Your relatives and friendsI will no longer recognize you, and even the whole world will completely forget you.
"So, you must not wear it for more than one day at a time. After you find a safe hiding place, you must remember to take it off."
Gu Xu continued He put on the mask and expressed his gratitude to Luochuan.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly fell on a simple bronze mirror placed in the corner of the long table.
Gu Xu knew that it was Luochuan's magic weapon, which could transcend time and space and see things happening thousands of miles away.
"Master Chief, can I borrow your bronze mirror to see the situation in the capital?"
"If you have any request, just give it directly. There is no need to follow I'm polite." Luo Chuan smiled slightly and pushed the bronze mirror in front of Gu Xu, "Besides, the power of this bronze mirror originally came from the astrolabe in your hand."
Gu Xu. Take the bronze mirror.
As soon as his fingertips touched the surface of the bronze mirror, he instantly understood how to use this magic weapon.
As soon as he thought about it, the bronze mirror immediately showed the scene of the last few days in the Shi family residence in Luojing City
Including Shi Xiaohan who was in bed recuperating from illness, including Shi Xiaohan pacing around with a worried look on his face. Shi Lei left, including the marriage certificate that turned to ashes in the furnace, and the betrothal gift that was burning in the yard
Then Gu Xu withdrew his right hand, and the image on the bronze mirror disappeared.
He laughed at himself, but he did not expect that the necessary "break-off" for the protagonist in his previous life would also happen to him.
"Don't be sad, Gu Xiaoyou." Seeing Gu Xu staring at the bronze mirror and saying nothing for a long time, Luo Chuan patted his shoulder and comforted him, "With your status and potential, as long as you can After this disaster, there is no need to worry about not being able to find a woman in the future."
"I'm not sad," Gu Xu shook his head gently, interrupting him, "The matter of tearing up the engagement contract probably did not come from the time. That’s your true intention. I’m just glad that the Shi family was not implicated because of me.”
“I’m really not sad at all.”
“Well, I’m still a little bit. . But with my current situation, what’s the use of being sad? I’d better find a way to survive.”
Hearing his words, Luo Chuan sighed and stopped talking. He picked up the white porcelain teapot again and filled the teacup in front of Gu Xu.
Later that day, Gu Xu sat on the edge of the bed, fiddling with the "astrolabe" in his hand, and began to wonder where its remaining fragments were hidden.
The white-haired boy once said that the power of cause and effect is hidden in the "astrology chart". Even if its fragments are lost, they will only be lost in a specific location.
For example, the part of the "Northern Xuanwu Elephant" must be left in the north of the wilderness.
But even the "North" is still an extremely vast area.
Can this range be narrowed down further
He took a deep breath and tentatively extended the tentacles of his spiritual consciousness into the "astrology chart".
A bright star suddenly appeared in his field of visionnull.
Cracks soon appeared in the starry sky, turning into countless fragments, and then revealed a rough sea.
This ocean is boundless and the water is black and deep.
Gu Xu knew that this was "Beiming", a sea where the sun never shines.
"Beiming, that is the far northern place north of the Great Wall and inaccessible to people," he thought silently, "to get there, you have to pass through Yanzhou, Dongchang, and Youzhou"
p>While he was thinking about the route, the picture in front of him quickly changed
The dark ocean became brighter and turned into pure and flawless blue.
A small green island is located on the sea. There are pavilions and pavilions on the island, and bells and drums are ringing.
"This is Penglai Island in the East China Sea"
Before Gu Xu could see clearly, "Penglai Island", one of the three major sects in Da Qi, flashed in his field of vision Pass away.
The picture is fixed on another island in the East China Sea.
The small island is hidden behind the thick white fog, looming, making it difficult to see its true face.
After finding these two places, Gu Xu's consciousness withdrew from the "astrolabe".
According to the white-haired boy, what is hidden in Beimingli should be the fragments of the "Northern Xuanwu Elephant"; what is hidden on the small island in the East China Sea should be the fragments of the "Eastern Canglong Elephant".
As for the "White Tiger Elephant in the West", "Astrolabe" has not given him any clues yet.
"Let's set off," Gu Xu said to himself, "The journey this time is very long. If we don't set off, it will be too late."
He did not delay for a moment and put it away. Carrying his luggage, he carried "Xianyunju", put on a black half-face mask, said goodbye to Luo Sishou, and set out from the basement.
He plans to go to Beiming first and then to East China Sea.
He has thrown away all the elixirs on his body, but he does not dare to make supplies in Daqi.
So on the way to Beiming, he can try to get some elixirs from Dayan Kingdom in Youzhou.
In this way, the eighteen-year-old boy embarked on a journey of thousands of miles alone.
Looking around, there are enemies in the sky and enemies on the ground.
He must fight for himself in this gap.
"Master Chief, I would like to request my resignation as the exorcist doctor."
After Gu Xu left, the young woman in green clothes and a fox mask explained. The jade pendant on his lower waist was placed in front of Luo Chuan together with a pre-written resignation letter.
"Why?" Luo Chuan raised his head and looked at her.
"The lower official's ability is limited and he is not qualified for this important position." The woman in green lowered her head and said.
"Don't lie to me," Luo Chuan said calmly, "I know that you want to resign from the official position because of Gu Xu."
The woman in green pursed her lips slightly and remained silent. Silent. After a while, she smiled and said, "Sure enough,I can't hide it from the Chief Secretary. "
Luo Chuan asked, "Do you want to travel around the world with him and look for astrolabe fragments together?"
"Yes. "
"Oh, I know you have a crush on him, otherwise you wouldn't have stayed by his side for three days and three nights, changing his clothes and giving him medicine," Luo Chuan sighed, "But you just heard that even if his engagement was broken off, he still misses his previous fiancée. "
"I don't expect him to give me anything," the woman in green said softly, her eyes seeming to drift to a distant place, "I'm just thinking about him in the past, with all the attention and a bright future. Around him, there are big shots who admire him, monks of his generation who admire him, and girls who love him
. In his world, I am not missing.
"But now, he has lost everything, no status, no honor, no friends, no even his fiancée, and the road ahead is difficult, with enemies in the world. If I don't accompany him , then
"Then he is really too lonely. "
At the end, her voice was choked with sobs.
Luo Chuan looked at her with a complicated expression, "If you have really thought about it, you must know that before you hand over this letter, After you resign, you will become a commoner. From now on, you will lose all the rights of Daqi officials, and you will no longer be able to obtain resources through the Exorcism Department. ”
“I’ve thought about it. "
"No regrets"
"No regrets. ”
“But I disagree. "Luochuan picked up the resignation and put it back into the hands of the woman in green.
"Why"
"Because you are not only an official of Daqi, but also the Lord of Tianyue Star His heir would be of greater help to him if he stayed in the Exorcism Department. "
The woman in green pondered for a long time, her brows wrinkled and unclenched under the mask, and finally nodded and said slowly, "Okay then. I listen to you. "
Then she changed the topic and asked, "Then can I give him a ride?"
Luochuan sighed softly and nodded, "Go ahead." "
Gu Xu wore a mask and quickly walked through the streets and alleys and walked out of Xin'an City Gate.
There were people coming and going around him.
But No one would take a second look at him, as if he was just an ordinary civilian.
When he walked out of Xin'an County and came to the hillside outside the city, dark clouds were forming one layer after another. Covering the entire sky, a gentle breeze passed by, and then a drizzle of rain began.
Gu Xu didn't bother to use his true energy to block the rain, so he just let it fall lightly on his body. , very thin, very dense, like powder.
After walking for a while, the raindrops hitting his body suddenly became less.
Gu Xu initially thought it was rain.
But he soon smelled a faint, familiar fragrance.
He turned his head and found the woman in green clothes and a fox mask. Appeared next to him.
She held an oil-paper umbrella, walked lightly, and had a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.
The oil-paper umbrella cover tilted towards him, blocking him from the rustling raindrops.
"Hey, don't get wet." Gu Xu immediately reached out and grabbed the handle of the umbrella, tilting it to her side.
Having a girl make plans for him undoubtedly made him feel very embarrassed.
"Master Gu, are you concerned about me?"
"Well, just say so."
"The one who can get the heir to Emperor Ziwei I'm really honored to care about you." The smile on the corner of the green woman's mouth became even thicker, "It's just that this heir seems not very smart, and he doesn't even use his true energy to cover it like me."
" I just want to save some real energy." Gu Xu sighed.
He is not a straight man who is not good at words. When I stayed with Shi Xiaohan in the past, I would often use words to make her smile.
But for some reason, in front of this woman, he would always be a little clumsy in his words.
"Who are you?" He thought for a while and asked directly, "Why do I think you look familiar the more I look at you?"
"It seems that Mr. Gu has something in his heart. , There has never been me,” the woman in green lowered her head and said quietly, “You can’t recognize who I am just through a mask. This makes the little girl very sad.”
“Since Gu. If you are curious about my identity, why don't you just take a look for yourself?"
As she spoke, she grabbed Gu Xu's hand and put it on her mask.
Hers The hands are soft and cold, as if they were made of water.
"Open it quickly and take a look. Seeing that Gu Xu was stunned, she continued to encourage.
Gu Xu could no longer restrain his curiosity, and gently lifted up the troublesome fox mask. .
A faint blush appeared on the face of the woman in green, as if what Gu Xu had lifted was not the mask, but the red hijab worn during the wedding.
“It turns out it’s you. "Gu Xu said softly.
What caught his sight was a beautiful and elegant face.
Slender eyebrows, clear eyes, small nose, and light lips .
Not eye-catching, but very attractive.
But now, this face is no longer as delicate as before.
There is a trace of sadness in the corners of the eyes. Tears, and a teardrop, poured out of her eyes disobediently, smearing her rouge, and then fell on her clothes.
"Are you surprised?" She stared at his. Eyes.
Her voice was like a melodious wind, swirling around his ears, tickling him.
"As expected," Gu Xu smiled bitterly. He said with a voice, "Fellow Taoist Shangguan, you are really good at playing tricks on people. ”
The woman in green is none other than Shangguan Jin.
But in Gu Xu’s impression, she has always had exquisite makeup, capable work, dignified and elegant smile, and smooth and generous speech. Chief SecretaryA good assistant to people and a model official of the Exorcism Department.
I never seem to shed tears.
"What is it that makes you so sad?" After pondering for a moment, Gu Xu asked again, "If you need help, just tell me."
"You." Shangguan Jin rolled her eyes at him.
"I"
"Yes, it's you," she snorted softly, "Since you appeared in my eyes, I have always regarded your life as A storybook, come and read it carefully. I watched your cultivation improve by leaps and bounds, and you became more and more dazzling. I thought that this story was about to come to a happy ending, just like those traditional storybooks, where the scholar was named on the gold list and became famous. , and then married a rich girl and lived happily together
“But I never expected that this story would suddenly take a big turn, and the protagonist would lose everything without warning and fall from the top. Entered the ancient times.
“As a loyal reader, how can I not feel sad?”
As usual, Gu Xu still couldn’t tell how many of her words were true and how false. .
If Shi Xiaohan is a blank piece of paper, his emotions and sorrows are all written on his face, and his thoughts are so simple that he can see through them at a glance.
Then Shangguan Jin is a mystery, a mystery that no one can ever figure out.
"Wipe your tears quickly." Gu Xu didn't know what to say, so he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her.
But Shangguan Jin did not reach out to pick it up.
"I feel sorry for you, but you refuse to wipe my tears yourself." She frowned slightly.
Gu Xu held the handkerchief and hesitated.
But he never expected that at this moment, Shangguan Jin suddenly dropped the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and hugged him tightly.
Her head rested on his shoulder, her arms wrapped around his waist, their chests were pressed together, and they could clearly feel each other's heartbeats.
Gu Xu's thoughts suddenly went blank.
It feels like falling into a ball of warm and soft water, or floating on fragrant clouds.
"It turns out that girls' bodies are really soft." An inexplicable thought flashed through his mind.
Shangguan Jin hugged him, tears streaming down her face, but she did not cry out.
Her makeup was smeared and she looked like a tabby cat.
"It will be a difficult journey for you this time. The chief executive won't let me go with you, Gu Xu. You have to take care of yourself
"You must know that even if you are banned by the whole country, Wanted, even if you are enemies in the sky and on earth, you are not fighting alone."
Before she finished speaking, she pushed him away gently, grabbed his handkerchief, and then picked it up She picked up the oil-paper umbrella that had been thrown on the ground and stuffed it into his hand.
"I'm going back." She waved her handkerchief at him, with a faint smile on her face.
's smile, "When it rains, you must remember to hold an umbrella. ”
Without waitingXu responded, and she used her footwork to turn around and leave like a gust of wind, quickly disappearing from his sight.
The rain is still falling.
The sound of rain sobs, like weeping and complaining.
Her color faded and her fragrance dispersed.
Gu Xu stopped for a moment, then held up his umbrella and continued moving forward.
Never looked back for a moment.
The second volume of "Seeing the Dragon in the Field" is finished
S9600 words, I finally finished this difficult volume. I will add my thoughts tomorrow,
