Yu Cang did not accept Jiang Ya's request for a duel.
Not to mention that there is no suitable venue for a duel. As the object of "fighting", it is impossible for Gu Jieshuang to watch Jiang Ya misbehave.
She first cast an apologetic look at Yu Cang, and then pulled Jiang Ya into a small alley nearby. No sound was heard from inside. When the two came back, Yu Cang saw Jiang Ya standing behind Gu Jieshuang with tears in her eyes, looking extremely aggrieved.
But it also became quiet.
After Lin Yunqing came back, Gu Jieshuang led everyone to her home.
This is a two-story bungalow with a small courtyard. Yu Cang followed Gu Jieshuang and pushed the door open. As soon as he entered the house, he suddenly felt cold all over.
The temperature inside is much lower than outside.
It was okay for Yu Cang and the others, they were soul card masters after all, but Qi'er, who was less able to withstand it, shivered on the spot and hugged himself.
Yu Cang was a little confused.
The air conditioning is turned on a little too much.
"Jieshuang, you are back."
A gentle female voice came from upstairs, and then, a middle-aged woman slowly walked downstairs.
She was wearing very simple clothes. There were not many wrinkles on her face, but they were all deep. He obviously doesn't look too old, but he already has silver hair.
The woman's face was a little pale, and she seemed to be in poor health.
"Mom, let me introduce you." Gu Jieshuang came to Gu Zhihan's side, "This is Jiang Ya who I told you to come back with me."
"Auntie, hello." Jiang Ya became a little more energetic. Just when she was about to show off, Gu Jieshuang interrupted her mercilessly.
"Of course, this is my boss, and now he is also my senior."
"You are Yu Cang." Gu Zhihan showed a smile, "I understand. Shuang mentioned you many times, please take care of this child."
"Hello, Auntie," Yu Cang said with a smile, "I didn't do anything."
"Also. Her name is Yu Qi'er, and she is the boss's sister. The last one is called Lin Yunqing, and she is my classmate. The boss came here with the army because he was busy with a major military overhaul. Please ask my mother to help arrange accommodation."< /p>
Hearing this, Gu Zhihan's eyes seemed to light up, and he looked at Yu Cang with a little more appreciation.
She said, "Welcome everyone, just treat yourself as you are at your own home. Just sit wherever you want. Jie Shuang, you can play with your friends first, and I will prepare lunch."
After that, She smiled, then turned and went upstairs.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after she went upstairs, the temperature in the air suddenly became much more normal.
"Wait a minute, I'll turn on the air conditioner." Gu Jieshuang brought everyone to the living room, then turned and went to another room.
Yu Cang’s brows were raised.
Why is the air conditioner not on?It's so cold, could it be?
Yu Cang tried to extract the terms for this house. To his surprise, a six-hour countdown appeared on it.
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Cang canceled the extraction.
After all, he had to follow the army into a different space in the afternoon. It was a rare opportunity, and he planned to withdraw it then.
As for this, let’s wait until we come out of the different space.
Nothing worthy of praise happened in the following time. After everyone had lunch as usual and assigned rooms, they began to wait for the opening of the military camp in the afternoon.
At this time, Gu Jieshuang suddenly found Yu Cang.
"Boss." Gu Jieshuang poked his head out of the door, "Would you like to go out for a walk? I'll take you around."
Yu Cang didn't react at all, so Qi'er She hugged his arm first and looked at him with pleading eyes. "Brother, let's go out for a walk. It's so boring here."
"That's good." Yu Cang smiled.
There are many sycamores planted on both sides of the road in Wuling Village. As autumn approaches, the leaves on the trees have begun to wither and turn yellow. It happened to have rained a lot a few days ago, and countless leaves fell to the ground. Let the ground also change a color.
Qi'er still held the hands of the two of them, looking at the road with big eyes without blinking, as if he was deliberately choosing intact sycamore leaves to rest on.
Of course, apart from this, Qi'er's attention has been focused on the conversation between Cang and Gu Jieshuang, silently eavesdropping.
"Speaking of it." Yu Cang said, "There are still a few days until the Fire Festival. Where did you get the holiday?"
"I came back early. I will wait until the Fire Festival." , there are more people, and the road becomes difficult." Gu Jieshuang massaged Qi'er's little hands while walking, "Because there are no classes anymore, and the boss is away, the school is a little boring, so I went home early. "
"Well, I didn't expect that I could still meet you after following the army so far."
"I was also surprised." Gu Jieshuang raised his head and looked at Yu. Cang's profile turned and he laughed a few times, "Boss, I haven't told you about my family affairs yet."
"Indeed, I haven't. Let me tell you."
"Actually, I have a lot of background. Boss, please don't be scared by me." Gu Jieshuang put her hands on her hips and seemed very proud, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere."
Step, step
After passing through a small alley covered with sycamore leaves, and turning a corner, his eyes suddenly opened up, and an ancient temple with mottled walls came into Yu Cang's field of vision.
An old man wearing a raincoat was cleaning the dew-stained fallen leaves on the stone steps. A scent full of ancient flavor floated in the air, which made Yu Cang feel much calmer. .
He raised his head and looked at the plaque under the eaves.
"Wu Tianzi Temple"
"Yes."
Gu Jieshuang led the two of them into the temple, and Qi'er pouted.
The leaves here are all covered withIt's been swept away, and she won't have to step on it
If there were no leaves to step on, she would have died. Fortunately, she still has a lot of lives, so let's pause for now.
Walking into the temple, a tall statue came into view. This statue was very familiar to Yu Cang. He had seen it countless times in history textbooks. It was more than two thousand years ago that he held an expedition with a sword. The mythical Emperor Wu from Three Thousand Miles Away.
Based on what Gu Jieshuang said before, Yu Cang raised his eyebrows, as if he had guessed something, and said, "You are not going to say that you are a descendant of Emperor Wu."
"Well, then Not really." Gu Jieshuang scratched the side of his face with his fingers, "But it has something to do with Emperor Wu. Boss, have you heard of Xuanhuang Wei?"
"Yes, I heard that it belongs to Emperor Wu. The soldiers are just soldiers, but Emperor Wu uses them as an expeditionary force. The Xuanhuang Guard has been on foreign expeditions since its establishment, almost without stopping."
"That's right." Gu Jieshuang nodded and looked at Emperor Wu who was standing on the altar, "My ancestor was a general of Xuanhuang Guard."
"Really?" Yu Cang looked at Gu Jieshuang, " I heard that in order to drive the wild beasts out of the Wu Dynasty, the Xuanhuang Guards fought everywhere. The average military age in the team was not even one year, so you can be considered a descendant of heroes."
"Well. My mother and elders have always told me this since I was young, saying that I am a descendant of Xuanhuang Wei and cannot live up to their name." Gu Jieshuang had a smile on her face, but her tone gradually became complicated. Get up, "But now, the name of Xuanhuang Guard has long been turned into a string of words in history books. Even for us, it is more shackles than honor."
"What does it mean?"
"You may not know." Gu Jieshuang sighed softly, "Everyone in the Xuanhuang Guard was personally selected by Emperor Wu, and Emperor Wu only had one standard, which was to be a human-animal hybrid. "
"Hybrid"
"Yes, a long time ago, spiritual beasts were the masters of this world. They were powerful and free, stretching their bodies freely between heaven and earth, but humans He could only lie dormant in the corner and survive under the wings of certain spiritual beasts until wild beasts appeared in this world.
"After Emperor Zulong opened up the place where the true dragon died, Emperor Wu came into being. He wanted to drive all the wild beasts out of this land, but he couldn't do it with just his own myth. So he thought, spiritual beasts are powerful, but they can be infected by wildness, but humans don't have this worry. So, as long as they form an army composed of human-animal hybrids, wouldn't they be able to become invincible?
"So, Emperor Wu summoned all the hybrids in the world and formed the Xuanhuang Guard. After the expedition began, the Xuanhuang Guard suffered heavy losses. Emperor Wu then issued an order to encourage intermarriage with spirit beasts. Anyway, at that time, the surviving spirit beasts could only We can't resist Wu Tianzi's order if we rely on him to survive." Gu Jieshuang turned his head and looked at Yu Cang with a full smile, "I am a human-animal hybrid too."
Yu Cang was silent, no. say.
He had already guessed this.
After all, his first bloodline entry, Wings of Frost, was obtained from Gu Jieshuang.
At that time, he didn’t know what it meant.
"It sounds like Wu Tianzi's approach was very successful." Yu Cang hesitated, "But it depends on what you mean, this human-animal hybrid physique is not very good for you now."
"It's not bad at all." Gu Jieshuang turned around and came to Yu Cang, "The human-animal hybrid will make our meditation speed faster, and as long as we choose the right deck, our combat effectiveness will be higher than that of other people. The level is much higher, but the price is that our life span will be very short. I have no complaints about this. There are advantages and disadvantages. I have enjoyed the benefits, and I should pay the price."
"Lifespan" Yu Cang's eyes moved slightly, as if he realized something.
It seems that there are no old people in Wuling Village.
The only one was the old man sweeping the floor that I saw just now at the entrance of the temple.
Gu Jieshuang continued, "My father passed away when I was very young, and so did my other relatives. Now, only my mother is still alive, but the blood conflict in her body caused her to suffer from a serious disease. Gu's hypothermia, an incurable disease that is even named after us, causes an uncontrollable loss of body temperature. In the advanced stage, it will even affect the surrounding environment, and eventually the person will die irreversibly in the extreme cold. "
"Sister" Qi'er held Gu Jieshuang's hand with both hands and sounded very distressed.
"I'm fine, Qi'er, I can live for a long time." Gu Jieshuang touched the girl's head, "Mother, she is only forty-two, but she already has white hair. In fact, mother is here The village is already considered to have longevity, and more people will end their lives before they can even live to their twenties."
Yu Cang silently said, "Is there no treatment?"< /p>
"No, at least not yet." Gu Jieshuang paused, "But I heard that during the reign of Emperor Wu, human-animal hybrids were not like this. Our ancestor, Gu, one of the commanders of the Xuanhuang Guard, Qianshan seemed to have lived to the end without any illness or disaster, but something seemed to be missing after Wu Tianzi died, which caused the hybrid to become what it is now."
"Do you have any clues? Maybe you can help me look for it."
"Thank you, boss, but it's impossible." Gu Jieshuang sighed, "This is just a guess. It's hard to say whether the missing thing exists. Besides, for I am not dissatisfied with my current appearance. After all, this bloodline has indeed made me a leader among my peers."
Gu Jieshuang tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and looked at her face. A smile appeared.
“I haven’t finished it yet. Isn’t it said in the history textbooks that after the death of Emperor Zulong, the Youhuang Heavenly Realm was shattered, and countless alien space fragments were scattered in the Yan Kingdom. When Emperor Wu took all the After the desolate beasts were driven out, they dismissed the Xuanhuang Guards and ordered them to retreat to the mountains and forests to guard the nearby space fragments and prevent the desolate beasts from running out to harm people.This is the origin of Wuling Village.
"In fact, there are many Wuling villages in this mountain, because there are a lot of space debris here. But now, with the army here, we are not really needed." Gu Jieshuang hehehe He smiled and said, "It is precisely because of this that my mother agreed to send me out to school. Otherwise, like everyone else in the village, I would have to stay here until my death. At most, I would join the army, but I would not leave the Taipei." Far away."
"It is also a good thing to keep pace with the times." Yu Cang said.
"Yeah, but sometimes I think, maybe it would be better for me if it were like before. After all, I estimate that I can only live until the age of twenty-five or six, in the village. If I had stayed here, my whole life might have passed by in the blink of an eye. But now, I have gone outside and seen a bigger and better world."
Gu Jieshuang closed her eyes and took a deep breath. After taking a breath, there was still a smile on his face, "I feel a little reluctant."
Yu Cang was silent.
He didn’t know how to comfort Gu Jieshuang.
Gu Jieshuang opened her eyes, glanced at Yu Cang with a smile, then turned around and came to the statue of Emperor Wu, holding her hands together.
“You know, boss, I once made a wish here.”
“What is it?”
“I can already see the end of it in this life. , so, I want to make this limited life shine. I want to participate in the World Soul Card Master League, stand on the duel field on top of the dead body and accept everyone's attention; I want to go to a desperate and dangerous place where no one has visited, and witness How thunder and storm eat away at everything at the end of the earth; I want to go to the Sea Court to touch the Heavenly Waterfall and see how it has protected an entire country alone for thousands of years; I want to go to the Elephant Pagoda to witness the Chongri Temple and see the second round How the sun extinguished and rekindled at the top of the tower. If I could die on this road instead of in a hospital bed, I would have no regrets.
“There are many things I want to do, and I will do them all. I've thought about it again, but haven't decided yet which ones I should complete. Because I have been thinking that if there is such a person, he will one day do something that may never come back, and it happens that he and I are close friends, partners, or even have a closer relationship, then, I participated in his journey, witnessed everything with him, and witnessed the end of each other's lives. You know, boss, I originally thought that I would never meet such a person. "
Hearing this, Yu Cang was a little moved. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
At this time, Gu Jieshuang turned around, and Yu Cang saw, Some glittering and translucent light accumulated in her eyes, and he couldn't tell for a moment whether it was tears or anticipation.
"Boss, do you know that the things you said to reject me before are in my eyes. It's all a plus. "Gu Jieshuang came to Yu Cang's side gently, "Like you, I can't give a relationship a long-term future, but I still can't help but want to reach out to others, but the boss can hold it back. Compared with the boss, I am simply She is just a scumbag. ”
"You are not, you also have the right to be loved."
"Really?" Gu Jieshuang bit her lip, raised her head and looked into Yu Cang's eyes, "The boss is willing to love Me?"
"Me" Yu Cang opened his mouth and suddenly paused.
He has no experience in how to respond to feelings.
On the other side, Qi'er had already covered his face with his hands, and his little head was as red as a ripe apple.
Oh my God, I'm so crazy.
This is a perfect match
I don’t know what I was thinking, but Qi’er’s face is now redder than Gu Jieshuang’s.
After a while, the girl still didn't hear Yu Cang's response. She removed her hands from her eyes, but what she saw was Yu Cang hesitating and Gu Jieshuang, whose face was gradually dimming.
What are you doing?
What are you still hesitating about? There is nothing to hesitate about.
Qi'er can't see this.
Immediately making a decision, Qi'er immediately used the greatest strength in his life and slammed into Yu Cang's back
"Ah" Yu Cang, who was thinking about something, was directly hit. Stunned, before he could control his balance, he felt a fragrant and soft body being held in his arms.
"Ah"
"Ah"
"Ah ah ah ah ah" the chess player's little hands danced wildly.
Both people were stunned at the same time.
"That, me" Yu Cang wanted to get away.
"Don't leave and let me hold you for a while." Gu Jieshuang hugged her tightly and buried her red cheeks into Yu Cang's chest.
"Okay."
Time passed quietly.
I don’t know how long it took.
Gu Jieshuang took a deep breath on Yu Cang's shoulder, took the initiative to let go of Yu Cang, took a few steps back, lowered her head, and tidied the hair on her forehead.
"I understand and I won't disturb you anymore, boss." Gu Jieshuang's expression was dark and he was about to turn around and leave.
At this time, Yu Cang grabbed Gu Jieshuang's hand.
"Wait"
Gu Jieshuang paused for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Yu Cang with red eyes, not knowing what emotions were contained in them.
Yu Cang said at this time, "Give me some time, I will cure you. Wait until then, when your life is no longer bound by anything, say the words about loving me again, okay?"
"I" Gu Jieshuang's eyes widened slightly, she couldn't control it anymore, a smile spread on her face along with two tears, "Okay"
Qi'er on the side His face was red and he almost fainted.
