Picking up a greedy snake [Liao Zhai]

After Lan Yuyan left, Gu Huai remained motionless and sat on the ground leaning against the wall, his eyes were empty and he didn't know what to think.After a long time, he rubbed his eyes and got up from the ground.

The quarrel with Lan Yuyan just now made him feel a kind of overwhelming despair for the first time since he traveled here.

There was only one thought left in his mind: Er Qing didn't love him anymore, he didn't need him anymore, or he didn't have any real feelings for him at all.

Thinking of this, he felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand and fell to the ground.

He slumped down on the chair with his head supported, and began to pull back his thoughts, thinking about ways to save Wang Huacheng.

Of course, he wasn't so stupid that he ran up to Fox Mountain to give away his head alone. Although he was born not to spare his life, but now for the sake of his old father at home, he can't make fun of his own life.

He stared blankly at his palm, recalling the Huapi incident and the Zhu Erdan incident, it seemed that something in his body ran out, replacing himself and destroying the enemy.

Who is that person in my body? Can I use his power this time to transform into a fruit for the king?

Gu Huai shook his head, getting the thought out of his mind.

He knew very well that although the power of the person in his body was very powerful, it was also very dangerous.This powerful power of unknown origin is indeed tempting, but unless it is absolutely necessary, Gu Huai will never activate it again.

Suddenly, Gu Huai thought that he could also learn spells from a teacher.Maybe my current strength is too weak, but I can study hard and become able to protect my family and friends.

In the past, when he was free, he always went to the small porcelain kiln in his house to knead porcelain and pull vases. He never got tired of this kind of light physical labor with a little skill, and he never thought about improving martial arts or learning spells.

Because at that time, he knew that no matter what the situation was, Lan Yuyan would rush to protect him.

But now, he could no longer pin his hopes on Lan Yuyan.Not only could he become a god at any time and leave him forever, but he would also crush his dignity, fall to the ground and step on it hard.

Thinking of Lan Yuyan, Gu Huai's heart was blocked.He simply threw himself on the bed and fell asleep under the blanket.

The next day, Gu Huai officially started his apprenticeship journey.

He asked his family and friends about several powerful and reliable Taoist priests, and visited them one by one with gift money, but none of them were willing to accept him as a disciple.

The reasons for rejection are also various.

Some glanced at him, and said to him, please come back, because they saw that he was not sincere.

Someone invited him to a banquet, and when Gu Huai was about to apprentice, the other party told him that he was not going to accept him at all, because cultivation was a hard job, and the other party saw that he was the son of a local official named Wailang, so they felt that he could not be pure-minded and focus on cultivation.

Some shook their heads after receiving the gift money, saying that the gift money was too little, and if they wanted to worship under their sect, they would have to add at least 3000 taels.

What made Gu Huai even more annoyed was that after a Taoist sized him up and down, he smiled and came over to hug him, saying that he was not going to take him as a disciple, but he could be considered as a male concubine.Gu Huai was so angry that he punched him directly in the face, and rushed out the door.

After a day of frustration, Gu Huai returned home dejectedly, and his heart began to feel sore again.

In the original world, he hadn’t graduated from university yet, so he was able to keep graduate school smoothly because of his good grades. Although he occasionally did odd jobs to make money, he had never experienced formal job hunting, so he could be regarded as living in an ivory tower and had never come into contact with cruelty of society.

And here, under the heavy protection of Lan Yuyan and his father Gu Xianrong, although he has experienced a lot of things and seen a lot of human nature, he has never experienced the difficulty of survival.

After Gu Huai entered the house with a sigh, a servant hurried up to meet him and told him that at noon a Taoist priest came to look for him, and he was still waiting in the living room.

Gu Huai frowned a little irritably. After a day of running around and the shock of his mind, he was so exhausted that he couldn't stand up. When he got home, he thought he could lie on the bed and sleep, but he didn't expect to entertain guests.

Although he was reluctant, he still walked towards the living room for the sake of courtesy.

As soon as he stepped into the living room door, Gu Huai saw a tall and straight figure standing up from the stool and striding towards him.The man was tall, with a straight temperament, thick eyebrows, big eyes and a Chinese character face, and his Taoist robe was spotless, unchanged from the last time we met.

Gu Huai's eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly: "Brother Yan!"

Yan Chixia laughed heartily a few times, patted Gu Huai on the shoulder and said, "Long time no see, dear brother, how are you doing these days?"

Gu Huai nodded with a smile, and said, "It's fine. Hey, why is Brother Yan free to visit me today?"

"A few days ago, I made a lot of money hunting ghosts and eliminating demons. I was going to rest for half a month. When I was free, I decided to visit my brother."

Gu Huai smiled, and pulled Yan Chixia to have a good chat.

Yan Chixia looked around and asked, "My dear brother, why didn't I see Fu'an this time? Isn't he always by your side?"

Gu Huai felt suffocated again, his face turned pale.After a long silence, he told Yan Chixia about Fu'an's betrayal of him.

After hearing Gu Huai's words, Yan Chixia opened her mouth in disbelief, and asked, "How could Fu'an do such a thing? Didn't he follow you since childhood?"

Gu Huai lowered his head, feeling a little guilty, he didn't know how to explain to Yan Chixia.The reason why Fuan framed him was because he hated him, and the reason why he hated him was because he was not the young master that Fuan had served since childhood, but an outsider who shamelessly took his young master's body.

And all of this, Gu Huai couldn't tell Yan Chixia.

Seeing Gu Huai's depressed and sad face, Yan Chixia stopped asking.

Gu Huai regained his strength and suddenly thought of something that made him feel stuck in his throat, so he asked, "Brother Yan, have you taken in an apprentice named Wang Changyuan and taught him spells?"

Yan Chixia thought for a while in a daze, then patted her legs suddenly, and said, "Oh, I remember him. I was hunting ghosts and demons in Yanjing, and I stayed at his house for a while at his invitation. Taught him some spells by the way. Why, do you recognize this man?"

Gu Huai shook his head, and told Yan Chixia how Wang Changyuan framed him.

After hearing this, Yan Chixia sighed again and again, while blaming herself for why the apprentices she taught had such bad morals.

Gu Huai said again: "Brother Yan, I am very puzzled about one thing. Why can't Mr. Lan see through the spell you taught Wang Changyuan? It stands to reason that he is a god in the sky with strong mana, and there will be no spell in the world that he can't see through." of."

Yan Chixia said with a smile: "I was apprenticed to Xueshen Hongyuan back then. Snowshen's practice is far higher than that of Mr. Lan. Of course, Mr. Lan will not see through the spells I learned from there."

For some reason, the name Hongyuan made Gu Huai's heart tremble violently. A corner of the shadow cast in his heart seemed to be lifted, and an inexplicable emotion poured out from that corner.

Gu Huai clenched his fist tremblingly, and before his brain could react, he said involuntarily, "Brother Yan, would you like to teach my younger brother spells? My younger brother would like to humbly ask for advice!"
