Zhu Yihou

He said: "When I was young, I heard him read the stories and the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River to me. I just felt that they were just characters and things on paper. No matter how beautiful they were, I forgot them after reading them. So seeing him like this Longing, I always find it incomprehensible. After he left, I always wanted to take a look, to see how the scenery and people outside were different from the snow-white mountain."

For some reason, Zuo Linxin's heart beat rapidly: "Then, did you notice the difference?"

Gu Zhu turned his head to look at him.

Gu Zhu's eyes were dark and the pupils were huge. When he looked over, his eyes were like torches, and his breath was like the wind.Zuo Linxin could hardly hold himself under the gaze of such beauty, not only his heart was itchy, but his throat was also itchy, so he gave a dry cough.Gu Zhu said: "I didn't think there was any difference before, but now I realize that it's still different. I'm afraid it's not all the scenery that made him stay."

When Gu Qinglan was looking at this place, what was he thinking, and what was the difference between this place he was obsessed with and other places.

Zuo Linxin intuitively felt that there was something in these words.A gust of breeze stirred the ring around Gu Zhu's waist, making a tinkling sound.Zuo Linxin remembered that when he first met Gu Zhu, he also heard this voice.

The sound comes, the sound enters the ear.

He lowered his head and thought for a while: "I will go to Linjiang Mansion with you."

Xie Getai was the happiest person to know the news, and when Gong Yiyan heard that they were going to the Wanhua Banquet, she immediately asked to go with her enthusiastically. , going to make trouble for them, you better stay at home with me."

Gongyiyan pursed her lips and said, "You have brother-in-law to accompany me, how lonely I am, and no one to play with me, why not let me see the world with them." In fact, Gongyiyuan has not yet met Chu Qieshu was married, but Gongyi's family had long regarded him as their own family member, so Gongyiyan didn't shy away from it, and always referred to him as brother-in-law.

Gongyiyan is young and has a very good relationship with her sisters, so she has always been extremely favored.But this time, Gongyiyuan was ruthless and refused to let her go, so Gongyiyan had no choice but to watch the four of them leave.Zuo Linxin coaxed her and said: "Actually, it's nothing fun, just a group of people to join in the fun, you like the flowers of Linjiang Mansion, we will bring you some when we come back." Gong Yiyan also just twisted her body and refused to pay attention to him .

The four left Wanxi City along the main road.Xie Getai is the opposite of Zuo Linxin, he is naturally curious, he likes to make trouble out of nothing, and he always wants to tease anything new and interesting when he sees it.I have only been on the road for three days, and there are all kinds of injustices, ranging from teasing cats and dogs to fortune-telling and seeing a doctor.In the end, Zuo Linxin couldn't bear to ask him: "If you look like this, by the time you get to Linjiang Mansion, the Wanhua Banquet will be over long ago."

Xie Getai said: "Thousands of flowers, you really think I'm here to see the flowers. Besides, I haven't seen any expensive flowers. When I was at home..." He said excitedly, I was negligent for a moment, and when I woke up, I immediately shut up.

Zuo Linxin just pretended not to hear it.

When others didn't know, Xie Getai tried every means to hide it. Now that no one asked, he felt itchy all over again: "Aren't you curious about where I come from?" Seeing him with his long legs crossed and a gourd bag hanging around his waist, he said with distaste: "Probably he came down from that mountain like me."

Xie Getai's eyes widened: "Fart, fart, Jiangnan Xie family, haven't you heard of it?"

Zuo Linxin said: "I have heard that. The person in charge is Xie Lu, the No.1 formation in the world. The Baigu old man we saw in Wangxi City was defeated by him." Xie Lu is famous and famous for forming formations The world, a lifetime of glory, was just finished by Zuo Linxin lightly.

Xie Getai's eyes flickered, he raised his eyebrows and said: "That's my grandfather."

Zuo Linxin said: "Oh, no wonder you were so angry at that time, and you wanted to find the old man Baigu desperately." Seeing that he didn't care, Xie Getai wondered: "You, you, don't you have anything to ask me?"

Zuo Linxin wondered, "What do you ask?"

Xie Getai stopped for a moment.

But thinking about it, he and Zuo Linxin just met each other for a while, and now they are walking together again.Whether he is the son of the Xie family or a charlatan, to Zuo Linxin, it makes no difference.Gems in the rough, broken grains of sand, are all stones.What Zuo Linxin wanted to know, he already knew, and if he didn't want to know, he naturally didn't bother to ask.

Gu Zhu and Gu Changqi knew less about the Central Plains, so they didn't respond to Xie Getai's identity.

Xie Getai thought of all the hard work he had concealed all the way, and couldn't laugh or cry for a while, he didn't know what it was like.

Zuo Linxin said: "I don't know who Xie Lu is, I only know you."

☆、Chapter 11

Although Zuo Linxin is about the same age as Xie Getai and loves to laugh and make trouble, she is much more stable.Xie Getai has been in contact with him for a long time, and he found that he is hot on the outside and cold on the inside. He seems to be interested in everything, but he is always indifferent, and he doesn't know where his heart is.Xie Getai laughed, thought it was funny, and laughed again.Gu Changqi on the side looked at him very worriedly, and quietly asked Gu Zhu: "Is Xie Getai not in a good mind?"

Gu Zhu's ear skills are excellent, and he has heard the conversation between the two clearly for a long time, thinking to himself, it really is so.The surrounding night was as dark as ink, and the sky was dotted with stars. He looked up at the sky, and suddenly heard gusts of wind, mixed with the screams of wild animals.

Gu Zhu listened for a while, and said: "There." He jumped up and galloped away.Following behind him was Gu Changqi, followed by Xie Getai, Zuo Linxin was far behind.When they arrived, they found three people standing on a hill half as high as a person. Looking down, they were surrounded by packs of wolves. The person surrounded by the innermost one was tall and dressed in black. It was actually Mo Sheng.

Zuo Linxin looked at it for a while, and said, "Huh? The person next to him..." He thought he was wrong, but after a closer look, he was indeed an acquaintance.Gu Zhu said: "It's Miss Lian." After Lian Buyao was sent back to Lian's house by everyone, they never saw each other again until Zuo Linxin and the others left, and Miss Lian was still lying in bed because of her unwell body. Unexpectedly, she would appear here, and she was still by Mo Sheng's side.He immediately thought of the day when Mo Sheng forced Lian Buyao's lover Yu Lian to death: "Could it be that Mo Sheng plotted against her and kidnapped her?"

Gu Zhu shook his head, and said, "Probably not. Look at Miss Lian's footwork." Lian Buyao knew some martial arts. At this moment, she was holding a torch in her hand, and she and Mo Sheng were on both sides, forming a circle around her. Obviously, Mo Sheng was the main attacker, and Lian Buyao was the one to defend from the rear.

Zuo Linxin wondered: "This, this...how could she help Mo Sheng?" Then he suddenly realized: "I see, she wants to stay behind Mo Sheng and wait for an opportunity to attack?" Not yet After guessing, he heard the leader wolf howling. It turned out that he had been stabbed by Mo Sheng's sword and fell down.

The alpha wolf is gone, and the rest are no match for Mo Sheng.When the wolves ran away, Mo Sheng took the torch, and Lian Buyao took a step back and sat back silently.

Zuo Linxin clearly saw that Lian Buyao looked up slightly, and looked at him, but her expression was normal and she didn't panic at all, and she didn't intend to ask for help.Mo Sheng naturally saw it too, he turned his face slightly, and rested with his arms folded, as if Lian Buyao wasn't there.

Zuo Linxin was a little confused.The four of them walked a little farther, Xie Getai was already feeling uncomfortable, and wondered: "What's the matter with Miss Lian, she didn't say she wanted to avenge her lover, but she still messed with the enemy?" Gu Zhu knew Lian Buyao well. Not much, not to talk nonsense, just said: "I don't think she is being held hostage by Mo Sheng." Xie Getai angrily wanted to ask Lian Buyao for clarification, seeing that Gu Zhu and Zuo Linxin were both moving, he turned his head Ask Gu Changqi: "Little dumb, will you follow me?"

Although Gu Changqi is taciturn, he is not silent, and he is one year younger than Xie Getai, so he gives way to Xie Getai everywhere on weekdays.This time, Xie Getai called him "Little Dumb", and he stopped immediately, nodded for a long time, thought about it wrong, and said "hmm" again, looked at Gu Zhu after speaking, waited for Gu Zhu to nod, and then followed Xie Getai left.

Zuo Lin couldn't help but followed two steps forward: "What if there is a conflict with Mo Sheng when they go?" Although Mo Sheng's martial arts is not very high, it is by no means low. If Xie Getai is alone, Zuo Linxin would definitely go with him, but with Gu Changqi around, Mo Sheng was no match for four with two fists, so there was no need to worry too much.

Gu Zhu said: "What?"

Zuo Linxin said: "I'm afraid Xie Getai won't be able to beat him." He thought about his own martial arts being the bottom among the few, and probably he just had to not hold back: "If there is a fight, you don't have to worry about me, I will take care of myself You have your own way, and you don’t suffer any disadvantages.” Gu Zhu had seen his extremely brave style of play, which hurt the enemy one thousand and self-destroyed eight hundred, he was silent for a while, and asked, “Have you always been like this?”

Zuo Linxin didn't understand: "What?"

Gu Zhu sighed slightly in his heart, and said, "It's nothing. You don't have to worry about Mo Sheng conflicting with them. He appeared here for the Chunwen sword. If he wants to get the Chunwen sword, he might be fighting with the Bai family, or even the whole family." Linjiang Mansion is an enemy, now he will never waste his energy for other people, you can rest assured." At this time, Xie Getai and Gu Changqi had returned from afar, and Mo Sheng really did as Gu Zhu said, both Lian Buyao was not held hostage, nor was her movement restricted, but Lian Buyao didn't want to come back.

Xie Getai said angrily: "It turned out that after you sent her back, she secretly ran back by herself. She said that she wanted to seek revenge from Mo Sheng, but she almost died of illness on the way, but it was Mo Sheng who saved her. In this way, she is grateful to him, and she is still with him all the time. We want to send her back, but she still shakes her head and refuses, saying that she has nothing to worry about now, and it's good to just wander around like this." He The more he talked, the angrier he got, Gu Changqi saw his chest rising and falling, and his brows were furrowed, so he had no choice but to say: "Even the girl insists on refusing to go home, so we can't force it. Fortunately, Mo Sheng is very polite to her, I took a look, he himself was full of travel and dust along the way, even the girl was full and not tired, so she must be doing well."

Xie Getai said: "What a fart." He cursed a few foul words on purpose, but before he could say them, Gu Zhu glanced at him, so he had to swallow them back.

When the four of them were on the road the next day, they saw the two of them from a distance.It was still far away, one behind the other, but Mo Sheng walked slowly, apparently to wait for Lian Buyao who was behind.Gu Zhu stared at it for a while, Zuo Linxin asked him: "What's the matter? What did you see?" Gu Zhu said, "It's okay, let's go."

They rushed to the edge of the city that night, and they found a fairly prosperous inn to stay.Zuo Linxin felt relieved when he saw Lian Buyao followed Mo Sheng up the stairs, and went into different rooms respectively.He also thought of Lian Buyao, such a delicate girl, who worked so hard to follow her, whether it was for revenge or whatever, it was not a good result after all.

After thinking about it in such a daze for the middle of the night, just as he felt sleepy, he heard someone yelling: "It's water, it's water, everyone, get up." Zuo Linxin jumped up, and when he opened the door, he saw Gu Zhu stood outside waiting for him.

Gu Zhu lives next door to him, apparently he heard the cry and came to him: "Chang Qi and Xie Getai are downstairs."

Zuo Linxin suddenly said: "Oh no, even the girl is still up there." Gu Zhu looked up, and saw that the fire was burning from above. Born in a snow-capped mountain, he was accustomed to the severe cold weather since he was a child, and he was somewhat resistant to fire in his bones, so he naturally took a step back sideways.He heard Zuo Linxin shout: "You go out first, I'll come later." After saying that, he rushed forward with a stride.

Seeing his figure submerged in the flames, Zuo Linxin's heart skipped a beat, and his pupils shrank unconsciously.

Seeing the thick smoke bursting out, all he could hear was the crackling sound of burning wood, Zuo Linxin opened his mouth to shout, but was choked up and coughed.He fumbled one by one, and finally heard Lian Buyao's weak reply.

At this moment, the fire was getting bigger and bigger. It hadn't rained in the past few months, and it was already extremely dry. When this fire happened again, Zuo Linxin could smell the smell of blood in the air.Only half of a piece of wood was burnt, and it was crumbling at the moment, Zuo Linxin was about to flash away, when he heard the ding dong of the ring pendant, and a long whip came out through the air, rolling the wood aside.

It was Gu Zhu who came.He moved to the side of Zuo Linxin, and said, "Be careful where you step."

It was only then that Zuo Linxin saw that most of the floor in front of them had been burned, revealing a black hole.There are heavy beams on the top of the hole, and Mo Sheng's face can be vaguely seen in the middle.When Mo Sheng saw Zuo Linxin and Gu Zhu, he turned his body slightly, revealing Lian Buyao who was protected by him.Zuo Linxin probed over and found that half of his leg was firmly pressed by the crossbeam, and a piece of wood pierced into his flesh, almost nailing him to the ground.

Gu Zhu whispered: "It seems that he saved Miss Lian." Lian Buyao was behind Mo Sheng, looking sluggish, but she was not injured.

In such a situation, Mo Sheng's expression did not change at all, if he hadn't been protecting Lian Buyao, how could he be trapped by the broken tree.Seeing Gu Zhu and Zuo Linxin now, he knew that they would definitely save Lian Buyao, so he waited for her to escape before escaping.

With a wave of Gu Zhu's long whip, the beam broke in two.Seeing Mo Sheng's normal expression, Zuo Linxin didn't grunt even though his legs were bleeding profusely, thinking that he was really stubborn.

Mo Sheng stretched out his palm and jumped up from the ground.The next moment, Zuo Linxin saw his face change, and followed his gaze, and there was a small sword stuck in his chest.

Needless to say, it can only be done by Lian Buyao.

Mo Sheng sneered, his chest shook violently, and the small sword fell to the ground with a thud.

Lian Buyao swooped and grabbed Mo Sheng's back from behind.Her strength is a drop in the bucket, how can she restrain Mo Sheng.Zuo Linxin immediately realized that she wanted to take this opportunity to kill Mo Sheng and die with him.

If there were only Lian Buyao and Zuo Linxin, Mo Sheng would not be afraid.But with Gu Zhu at his side, he had to be distracted for the most part.Gu Zhu flicked his long whip, whistling with the sound of wind and flames, wherever it went, sparks scattered everywhere.The flames flying all over the sky fell, and some of them sprinkled on Gu Zhu's body, which immediately scalded Gu Zhu's whole body.

Mo Sheng discovered that Gu Zhu was afraid of fire, so he flew his legs together, and kicked the broken wood with fireballs towards Gu Zhu continuously. Come, I had to pretend to shout: "I'll help you."

This is one against four, Mo Sheng naturally can't stay longer.He threw away Zuo Linxin with one arm to hold Gu Zhu, and then grabbed Lian Buyao's neck with his backhand, the flames were about to kill her in an instant.

This light reflected in Lian Buyao's pale pupils, and suddenly reminded Mo Sheng of the first time he saw her.

☆、Chapter 12

It's not outside the city of Wanxi.At that time, Lian Buyao was by her lover's side, soft and weak, although her beauty was too ordinary, she was just like all the women in the world.The first time Mo Sheng looked at her seriously was on the way to Linjiang Mansion, she followed behind him all the time, unafraid of the wind and rain, like weeds blowing on the side of the road that could not be exhausted, Mo Sheng got rid of it a few times She, but she didn't know what method she used, but she followed over unrelentingly.

It's not that Mo Sheng doesn't understand what she's thinking.She wants revenge, oh, how overreaching.But Mo Sheng didn't think there was anything wrong with her.She killed her lover herself, and she sought revenge on herself.The law of heaven is reincarnated, as it should be.

only. . . . . .For a moment, she reminded Mo Sheng of before he entered the Yi Pavilion.It seemed that there was also such a woman silently following behind him.It's been too long, Mo Sheng no longer remembers her appearance, but only vaguely remembers that she is very gentle, with a faint and fresh scent of sweet-scented osmanthus, which smells the same as Lian Buyao.Life was hard at that time, the woman took him, rummaged for food from the pile of bones, drank rainwater to steal clothes, waded in rainwater and mud, and sent him to Yiyi Pavilion.

In Yi Pavilion, the weak are preyed on by the strong, and starvation and fighting to death happen every day.Mo Sheng survived tremblingly and gradually got used to this kind of life.He thinks it's pretty good, and he's been stared at outside the Yi Pavilion, so what's the difference from here?Only occasionally, very occasionally, he kind of missed that woman would gently touch the palm on top of his head, rough but warm.And when she looked at her, it was like the firelight in the night, and also like Lian Buyao's eyes.

Mo Sheng was stunned for a moment, Gu Zhu immediately swung his whip around his wrist and pulled it back, but how could Lian Buyao under him miss this opportunity, Mo Sheng watched Lian Buyao hug her up, this When the warm body touched, Mo Sheng couldn't help but shuddered, and subconsciously went up to meet him.

After all, this was probably the first hug from a woman in his adult life.But it was not warm, but cold and full of killing intent, just like his whole life.

Zuo Linxin gasped. He saw Lian Buyao hugging Mo Sheng tightly, but the sword in her hand pierced Mo Sheng's back straight into his heart. Neither of them had time to struggle, so it was over. killed.

Zuo Lin was stunned.All this happened in a flash, and in the eyes of those standing outside, it was only a moment.

The innkeeper standing outside watched the inn collapsed and cried loudly.Under the sound of howling, Zuo Linxin looked at Lian Buyao's body, feeling at a loss.

That night, the four of them buried Lian Buyao.Zuo Lin thought of Lian Yixing who was still on the mountain, and thought how sad he would be if he knew the news.

Xie Getai sighed: "Miss Lian is so brave and infatuated, she really can't lose to men. It's a pity, it's a pity." Gu Changqi also lamented Lian Buyao's tragic revenge, and said rarely: "If we can marry her It would be nice if Yu Lian was buried together, and she would be worthy of her infatuation." After Yu Lian committed suicide, everyone buried him outside the city of Wangxi.The two places are thousands of miles apart, if you want to bury them together, you can only go back with Lian Buyao's bones.But the Bai family's Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet is just the next day, so it's impossible to make it this time around.

Zuo Linxin said: "Miss Lian, I have wronged you here. We will take you back after we finish taking care of things." That's what I said, but this time, I don't know what risk I'm facing, whether I can come back or not not allowed.

Gu Zhu suddenly said: "Have you ever heard of the art of dimples?"

Among the four, Gu Zhu read the most books, and many of those weird things had never been heard of by anyone, and they didn't know where they read them from.The second is Xie Getai. After all, he came from a noble family and is well-informed. Even if he has not read it, he knows something about it: "I have heard it. It is said that it is a book handed down by the old man after he retreated. Chapter three, one is the original trace, the second is the extermination of the body, and the third is the summoning of the soul. I heard that those who have practiced the most can summon the soul from thousands of miles away..." At this point, he suddenly opened his eyes wide: " Do you know this spell?"

Gu Zhu said: "No."

Xie Getai was immediately discouraged: "Then what are you asking?"

Zuo Linxin asked Xie Getai: "How do you know this?" Xie Getai said: "I looked it up in my grandfather's library. I was curious at the time, but after looking through all the documents, I only said that this spell is a word of mouth. According to legend, no one has practiced it. I guess, this trick is imagined by later generations. All creatures in the world have souls. If they can be manipulated at will, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

Gu Changqi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

Gu Zhu said: "It's not imagination."

All three looked at him.Gu Zhu said: "This method is recorded. It's just that mortals can't learn it because of their limited spiritual power." Xie Getai winked at Zuo Linxin, signaling that Gu Zhu was talking nonsense.Naturally, Gu Zhu saw it, and said with a smile: "Don't you believe it, and sit down cross-legged."

Zuo Linxin was the first to do so, Xie Getai frowned, Gu Changqi gently tugged at his sleeve, motioning him to sit down too.Gu Zhu sat cross-legged in front of them, and said: "I found this classic in the bookstore a few years ago, but I was not talented enough to learn it. Now I will read it to you, and you can study it quietly. It is also a good thing to learn it. Just be sure to listen to what I say carefully and meditate so as not to make mistakes." Xie Getai still wanted to speak, but Gu Changqi whispered: "Listen first, he won't Lied to you."

Over there, Gu Zhu read slowly: "The ethics of heaven are nothing more than reincarnation. On the shining day, it is fierce like a shadow, scattered like dust, and quiet like a square mirror..." After reading, the speed of speech became faster and faster. quick.Gu Changqi obviously learned from Gu Zhu, following Gu Zhunian's words, the air in his dantian circulated, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.Xie Getai was a bit slower, but he was extremely smart, and he had a lot of knowledge and read a lot, so he could understand a few obscure sentences after a little thought.After the first paragraph, he opened his eyes and looked around, Zuo Linxin was on his right side, his brows were tightly closed, although he didn't sweat much, but his face turned blue and white, obviously he had encountered difficulties.Xie Getai moved quietly, wanting to go over to help, Gu Zhu said: "Calm down." Xie Getai didn't move again.

After a short rest, Gu Zhu began to recite the second paragraph, this time at a slightly slower speed. Xie Getai followed the guide breath he said, only to feel that when he reached the dantian, the spiritual power was like a mess, rampant, and his chest was twitching. The rush was like a drum, and I couldn't hold back anymore. With a "wow", a pool of blood spewed out.

Gu Changqi beside him hurriedly supported him, and quickly touched four or five acupuncture points on his body.Gu Zhu also said: "Don't be brave. No one has been able to learn this tome so far. There are a few places that I can't figure out, so there is no need to force it. Whatever you can understand is where it is."

Xie Getai nodded.He leaned on Gu Changqi's body, watching Zuo Linxin's expression gradually calm down, surrounded by a faint peaceful atmosphere, after a long while, he saw Zuo Linxin make a closing gesture.Xie Getai couldn't believe it, and said: "You, have you finished your studies?"

The advantage of Zuo Linxin's martial arts is that his moves are swift and fierce, and his momentum is amazing, but his actual spiritual power is almost non-existent.So Xie Getai never thought that his comprehension was so good, he couldn't help being shocked.Zuo Linxin opened his eyes, looked at Xie Getai, and smiled awkwardly.

Gu Zhu said: "How?"
