Cage Gu

The old housekeeper patted their folded hands, coughed heart-piercingly, and lost strength in his hand, Cang Shu subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but Cang Xingzhui suddenly retracted his five fingers and grasped it firmly. stopped his hand.

Cang Shu was so startled that he almost jumped up - the last time Cang Xingchui grabbed his hand so unquestionably, it was the night when he was drugged, and at that time, Cang Xingchui's other hand was...

A trace of heat climbed up his cheeks, and he struggled quietly, but couldn't break free.

"Don't worry." Cang Xing said in a low voice.

This mortal's voice is thicker than Cang Xingzhui's own, and when he speaks, he always gives people the impression of being fierce or calm.

The old housekeeper obviously felt the latter, he nodded in relief, and said angrily: "Okay. You guys are good, don't worry about the worldly etiquette, others may think that I am old and confused, I know it myself, I am, ahem, I understand. In my life, I have seen too many...too many ruthless royal affairs. I thought that before I left, I could see the prince marrying a good wife who is confidant and I can leave with peace of mind. No, I don’t want to encounter such an accident again... Prince, when Commander Huo left the capital to protect the fourth prince, you told him to be loyal to the fourth prince and never come back again, but he was crying in the study that night... I Take care of the prince from babbling to adulthood, you have to be strong since childhood, I have never seen you cry like this..."

Cang Shu seemed to be in a daze, and seemed to be calming down, his face gradually became blank, and his eyes were empty.

The old housekeeper looked pained because of this memory. He took a breath, panted for a while, and then continued: "At that time, I thought, what kind of etiquette, what is the world? If there is still a chance, I will make the first one, cough cough, the first one Tell you to listen—it’s rare to know someone you love in life, don’t miss it..."

Cang Xing looked sideways at Cang Shu and said, "We've already talked about it."

"That's good...that's good." The old butler said, a cloudy tear flowed from the corner of his eyes, and he closed his eyes.

Cang Shu was expressionless, and leaned over to check, only to find that the old man was still alive, but had just fallen asleep.

He walked out of the house without saying a word, went to the yard, and stood under a dead tree without moving.

Cang Xing hangs behind him, seeing that the person under the tree has turned into a god in a snow-white robe.Shenjun's face, which was all over the world, looked indifferent at the moment, neither sad nor happy, just like the way they met over the Infernal Abyss more than a year ago.

Any god who sees this appearance will be in awe and take it for granted, because for all the gods, this is the appearance that the merciful god should have and is used to.

However, at this moment, the Demon Lord in black said to him: "Mercy... Cangshu. Don't fall into it."

Don't get stuck.

As if the ice had been shattered, a crack appeared on the perfect god mask of the Merciful God. He turned around and looked at Cang Xinghui, and asked, "What?"

"Sorrows and joys, parting and reunion, the normal state of the world. You have been watching for tens of thousands of years, but you still can't see it?"

Cang Shu showed a faint smile. Although the smile was not bitter, it was not sweet either. He said, "If the merciful God sees it, how can we save the suffering?"

It is precisely because he sees no misery than anyone else that he became the God of Mercy.Every time there is a catastrophe in the world, tens of thousands of people kneel down and pray to the merciful God for help. After the catastrophe passes, the world will reincarnate for several lives. Those sufferings can only be seen in the scrolls and bamboo books, and the mortals will not be able to experience them personally. Those tragedies were all left in the hearts of the immortal gods.

Cang Shu is not born without tears, he can vaguely remember that in the first few hundred years when the human world was first established, he often shed tears.For the city hit by natural disasters, for the regretful emperor who died, for the dying hero, for the sick old man, for the lover who couldn't love, for the little beast struggling to survive... He is soft-hearted and kind, and he can't see the pain, every one Everyone wants to save them, but it's not easy!

When the two countries go to war, who will help?Two girls are infatuated with a gentleman, who do they help?Hungry wolves chase rabbits, sick tigers chase sheep, who should help?

Today I rescued a puppy that fell off a cliff, but there are little animals that stumble every day. Do you want to put aside everything and just save them?Today, a dying old man is allowed to live in the world for ten years, but there are sick old people everywhere. Should all the old people in the world extend their lifespan?

If they really act like this, I am afraid that the newly built human world and ghost world will be in chaos due to the collapse of order.

If you want to save the common people, you must be sympathetic to the common people, and you must not take sides, and you must sacrifice your small details to achieve righteousness.

But for Cang Shu, how painful it is to let go of the details!He suffered day after day, and was enlightened by the god of reincarnation, and finally found a way out, that is--Wuxin and Ruthless.

As long as you are high above, sympathetic to everything, unmoved, unfeeling, then there will be no pain.

Cang Shu followed this method and became a heartless and ruthless god for tens of thousands of years. The mortal world under his rule was thriving without ever being in danger of being overthrown.

All the gods say that he can be a fair, selfless and compassionate god because of his heartlessness and ruthlessness. Only Cang Xingchui knows that this is a mask and a line of defense. It was built by Cangshu, who is too soft-hearted, to prevent himself from collapsing and failing due to pain. line of defense.

So only he would persuade Cangshu after seeing Cangshu restrain all his expressions: "Don't fall into it."

Cang Shu closed his eyes and said restrainedly: "Those two people are already dead. The old man couldn't wait for it after all. The crown prince and Huo Tong led this life... and they missed it after all." He rubbed his chest, looked towards Cang Xing and said, "I'm so sad."

Cang Shu can't tell anyone how sad he is, but he can tell Cang Xingchui, because only he can understand and he can bear it.

"You have time to be sad about other people's love stories." Cang Xing said with a blank expression, "What makes you think that I will enlighten you?"

Cang Shu was stunned: "...Sorry, it's really none of your business."

"The old man doesn't have much time, so it's just a few days. Anyway, we have to hurry up and get all the words out of his mouth." Cang Xingzhui looked away, "You have to talk to him by the way." If I pretended to be a couple and made him happy in the last few days, I have no problem, after all, I can only ask questions when I am happy."

Cang Shu's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Will you help me let this old man die in peace?"

"I'm here for the information!" Cang Xingchui emphasized, "It's not to help you or pity him, it's to get out of the predicament sooner!"

"Thank you." Cang Shu acted as if he didn't hear, the indifferent mask of the gods was removed at once, and he said sincerely, "Mozun, you are really a good person."

"Humph."

"But I'm afraid I won't be able to act well." Cang Shu said worriedly, "I don't know what kind of temperament the prince and Commander Huo are..."

Cang Xing said: "Just ask someone. Doesn't the emperor have special ear guards for spying on intelligence? When he goes to check the prison at night, he will catch a few along the way. Now let's go to the study to find the map."

·

Probably because they made a high-profile appearance in the barracks during the day, no one went to the prison anymore. Presumably, it was thought that it was impossible for ghosts to travel unimpeded in broad daylight.

However, Cang Shu still carefully split the joint of the iron door into half, so that if someone locks the door again on a whim in the future, the robust body of Kong Wu, a mortal transformed by the Cangxing pendant, can also be pulled with bare hands. open the door.

"From now on, there is no need to check every day." Cang Shu said with satisfaction, "Even if it still happens once every day at sunset, I can't go to the valley."

The old butler woke up once in the afternoon, and his energy and energy improved a lot, and he was able to go down to the ground on crutches.Cang Xingchui was a little worried that he was returning to the past, and was about to go to Huangquan Road, so he hurriedly figured out the secret of releasing the map with a few words, only to find that the small city of Fengcheng was too far away from them. Speed, it is difficult to fly in one day and one night, and it is very risky to return to this dangerous and unpredictable prison after exhausting the divine power, so we can only give up temporarily.

The food left is enough to survive the winter, and in the spring, food will naturally grow in the valley, and the hamsters still have the habit of hoarding food... I guess there will be no problem.

"Do you feel... the resentment on this cage has eased a little?" Cang Xingchui asked Cang Shu after looking carefully for a while.

Cang Shu is more sensitive to perceptions of resentment than he is, nodded and said: "Yes, although only a little bit. I guess, is it because the old housekeeper has untied his knot?"

"A person who cared about opened his heart knot, so did the resentment dissipate a little..." Cang Xingchui murmured, "I have been thinking, the last time you and I fully recovered our divine power, was it because we broke the cage or because we broke the cage? Has the resentment above dissipated?"

"It's worth a try." Cang Shu sighed, "But to solve the grievances left by the prince and Commander Huo, I'm afraid we have to go deep into this situation."

"Yeah." Cang Xing said, "It's getting late, go ask a Tianerwei, tomorrow I have to continue fooling the old man."

·

When the new emperor was escorted back to the capital in a hurry, he heard that the first important thing that the deposed prince would do after his resurrection was to find trouble with the Tian Erwei everywhere and find a place for his own guards.

"In the last month... almost all the Heavenly Ear Guards in the capital have been arrested." The thin and tall Heavenly Ear Guards in Yunshui clothes knelt in front of the emperor and said tremblingly, "I don't know what adventure the wasteful prince has. Martial arts were originally high-strength, but now they are even more unpredictable..."

The emperor glared angrily, patted the table and said, "What did he want to know, and what did he ask?"

"He doesn't want to know anything, it's just that he was caught and insulted..."

The emperor asked: "How did he insult you?"

"He forced every Tianerwei to ask, 'What kind of person is Gu?', and forced everyone to praise him against their will..." That day, the earguard showed an unbearable expression, "It's not enough to praise him, and then I have to Praise his guard Huo Gengchen, and he would repeatedly say, 'You must listen to the truth', forcing every heavenly ear guard to admit that those compliments are the truth before releasing him... I wait, I wait to continue to give him to save my life. Your Majesty can only suffer humiliation if you serve him, Your Majesty..."
