Stars fall and locust trees grow

After asking for a long time but still getting nothing, Li Chi felt a little depressed.

As it was getting darker, he felt a little sleepless, so he ran to the deck alone, climbed up the mast, and sat high up to look at the stars.

The sky is as vast as ever, and the night sky is a sea of ​​stars.

The originally huge Kunzhou now looks as small as a speck of dust against the backdrop of the Milky Way.

Li Chi thought: "If one day I can really cultivate to the highest realm in the legend, and then suddenly realize the gate of heaven in this night sky, I wonder what a spectacular scene it will be."

However, when he thought of his somewhat tragic life, Li Chi felt that hope was slim, so he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Oh! This fucking life! Failure! What a failure!

"Brother Li looks like he has something on his mind?"

Just as he was sighing, Zeng Muchan's voice suddenly sounded beneath him.

Li Chi lowered his head and asked in surprise: "Eh? Senior Brother Zeng? How did you know I was here?"

Zeng Muhan tapped her toes lightly, landed on the other side of him, sat down and said, "It's all because of your headband."

"Headband?"

Li Chi stretched out his hand blankly, grabbed the end of the headband at the end of his hair, turned his head and saw that the headband was actually flashing a faint fluorescence in the dark.

Thinking of what the owner of Jinbao Pavilion said yesterday, he was surprised again: "I didn't expect that the shop owner was honest! This headband can actually glow at night!"

Zeng Muhan said: "Since it was made by Mr. Zhai Chong of Jiuyou Fengyu Pavilion, this headband is definitely not an ordinary item."

Li Chi nodded slightly, rubbed his hairband and said nothing more.

Zeng Muhan seemed to know why he was so depressed, so he continued slowly: "Young Master has been in seclusion for many years and is not good at getting along with others, but he is still very special to you, Brother Li, and seems to have regarded you as... a friend. Outsiders think that he has been in seclusion for many years to practice, and only a very few people in the sect know that he is actually saving lives."

Li Chi paused for a moment and asked curiously, "Save my life?"

Zeng Muhan said dimly, "Since entering the sect, my young master has been in seclusion twice, the first time for four years, the second time for sixty-three years."

Li Chi was shocked: "Sixty-three years?! Why is that?"

"The first time he went into seclusion was because the young master accidentally activated the clan mark and was found by the sect. He was only fifteen years old at the time and had just entered the mortal realm. His body could hardly bear the energy of the clan mark, so the ancestor arranged for him to go into death seclusion."

"You mean, Gu Chuanlin entered the Mingyuejian when he was fifteen?"

"That's right!"

"So where was he before he was fifteen?"

"We don't know that because he never told anyone."

"What about the second retreat?"

"We don't know the reason for the second retreat. We vaguely heard from Master that something seemed to have affected the soul of Little Master. Fortunately, he was supported by the energy of the clan pattern and barely held on... However, the details are probably only known by our ancestors and Little Master himself."

Li Chi touched his chin and thought for a while: I never thought that Guchuan Lin, a gifted child of heaven, actually had such a tortuous and bizarre experience behind him. No wonder his personality is so awkward and strange.

I remember Zeng Muhan once said that Maoqiu identified its owner by identifying the soul. Now, knowing by chance that something in Guchuanlin's body seemed to affect his soul, coupled with Maoqiu's extremely intimate attitude towards him, Li Chi suddenly felt vaguely that this matter seemed to be, probably, possibly related to him.

Li Chi's mind began to become confused again.

However, there is one thing he is certain of, that is: Gu Chuanlin should have known him before returning to Mingyuejian.

However, he still couldn't remember clearly what happened before his death. It seemed that he had to think about it carefully after returning.

Seeing that Li Chi was still a little confused, Zeng Muhan said, "Almost no one in the sect knows about the past of our young master. Since he doesn't want to talk about it, the masters won't ask too much. But, Brother Li, you are different after all. Perhaps, one day, he will be willing to tell you."

Li Chi sighed and said, "How am I different? I've always been oppressed by him!"

However, he immediately thought of those expensive spiritual foods and the extremely expensive headband on his head, and he quickly added: "Huh? Not really! He is still willing to spend money on me! Hahaha!"

Zeng Muhan chuckled, then turned around and landed on the deck. "It's getting late, and Brother Li is already weak, so you should go back and rest!"

Li Chi felt somewhat relieved, so he climbed down from the mast again with a grunt.

He followed Zeng Muhan into the cabin. When they were about to go their separate ways, he suddenly pulled Zeng Muhan aside and said softly, "Senior Brother Zeng, you don't have to call me Brother Li all the time. Just call me Li Chi from now on."

Zeng Muchan stopped and for the first time, he, who was always very serious, showed a meaningful yet malicious expression.

"The plums are for the plums, and the ones who eat are for the food?"

Li Chi chuckled: "It's the Li of Li River that nourishes everything, and the Chi of ghosts and monsters."

......

When he returned to the room, Maoqiu was lying at the door waiting for him, and the glass lamp on the small table was still on.

Guchuan Lin was lying on his side on the bed, and it was unclear whether he was asleep or not.

Li Chi tidied himself up simply, then climbed onto the bed with the ball in his arms, and quietly poked his head out to see if he had his eyes open.

As a result, the glass lamp in the room suddenly went out.

All I could see were the two big green eyes of the fur ball.

It looks like this guy didn't sleep at all!

Li Chi lay down next to Gu Chuanlin, then reached out and pushed his back.

"Gu Chuanlin! I already know! We knew each other before you entered Mingyuejian, right!"

Gu Chuanlin leaned inwards and said nothing, but Li Chi knew he was awake, so he continued, "I've been thinking about it, and now I finally have some clues. In fact... the first time we met should be in Juyun Sect!"

Gu Chuanlin finally moved and turned around.

But because the room was a little dark, Li Chi did not see the hope in his eyes.

Furukawa Lin said: "So?"

Li Chi was full of confidence: "So! I will soon know who you are!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chuanlin turned back and ignored him no matter how he insisted.

Li Chi thought, since this person knew the real me, there was no need to hide some things any longer, so he might as well take this opportunity to speak out.

So he just sat up again and leaned his head over.

"Hey! Furukawa Lin! I don't know how you recognized me, but since you know my identity, you must know something about me!"

"I heard that you've been in seclusion twice. What a coincidence! I've also died twice!"

"I entered the Juyun Sect when I was five years old, and broke through to the Xuangu realm when I was twelve. But I failed the sect's first test that year. However, I was lucky and was alive and kicking the next day!"

"I died again when I was seventeen, but this time when I woke up I didn't know how long I had been lying there, or why I was resurrected in someone else's body."

As Li Chi spoke, his eyes suddenly dimmed. "Actually, I'm very afraid of death..."

Gu Chuanlin, who had not made any move, suddenly said softly: "I know."
