"Fight? When did the fight happen?" Gu Jiu asked in confusion.
It turned out that Gu Jiu had never considered the quarrel with Gu Ningshuang five days ago as a clear question and answer at most. He almost forgot about it after a good night's sleep.
However, Gu Jiu was still concerned about the fact that Taohua An was included in the imperial books.
Chapter 51 Who took the bait?
Now that we know that Taohua An is actually in the court's historical records, does this prove Gu Jiu's second guess, that Taohua An is the hand of some powerful force?
Gu Jiu knew that if he wanted to know more details and more truth, he would inevitably have to come into contact with Taohua An, or even have a head-on confrontation.
The other party's roots are too deep, and if you are not careful, you may pull out something more terrifying.
Gu Jiu felt that now was not the time because he was not ready to face so many secrets and the behemoth that might appear.
Compared with an organization, even if one person's punch can match hundreds of hands, he is still just one person after all and cannot be in two places at once.
He has a family, a senior sister and an aunt, so it is impossible for him to be too relaxed and unrestrained.
It's like a game, you have to destroy towers and defend them.
But now, even though he is dressed in divine attire, he is still alone.
And his opponents may be far more than five.
Since Taohuaan has already promised not to interfere with him and has indeed kept its promise over the past year, Gu Jiu naturally will not provoke them.
He had killed the nun under the tree before. It seemed like he did it on impulse, but it was actually a rational choice.
If the other party had not chosen to kill him in the end, he would not have been so "happy".
His intention at the time was to kill the other person because he was very unhappy with what the other person had done.
But when he wanted to do what he wanted, he was still a little hesitant, after all, this was a "trivial matter" for him.
In the end, it was the other party who forced him to do what he wanted.
Judging from the way he eliminated traces and cut off clues, Gu Jiu was quite meticulous and acted cautiously.
……
Gu Xiaoxiao and Gu Ningshuang's vacation was not long. They stayed at home for about half a month and had already started to return to the sect.
Especially because of Gu Xiaoxiao, a senior sister from Yunshan Sword Sect was waiting yesterday.
The fact that Gu Xiaoxiao was the youngest person to reach the Concentration Realm in the Yunshan Sword Sect in the past hundred years was a secret that the Yunshan Sword Sect had always wanted to keep secret, but the incident was too sensational, so it spread a long time ago.
In order to prevent the sect's genius from encountering any accidents, the Yunshan Sword Sect protected Gu Xiaoxiao very well.
Not long after eating the dumplings, Gu Xiaoxiao and Gu Ningshuang took the sect's carriage and left Linshui Town.
Before leaving, Gu Xiaoxiao was naturally reluctant to part with Gu Jiu, and even said "Brother, come with me, I will support you in the future." several times.
However, seeing that Gu Jiu seemed to like the academy very much, Gu Xiaoxiao finally did not say it out loud.
She should bless her brother to be able to do what he likes.
Then she thought of the situation at Qingliu Academy and felt that her brother's hobby would soon be aborted.
At that time, she comforted the other person and took advantage of the other person's distress to "capture" the person and his heart, which made her feel very happy.
While Gu Xiaoxiao was making her wishful thinking, Gu Jiu was encouraging her to practice well, hoping that she could achieve her goal of becoming a greatsword heroine as soon as possible.
In fact, Gu Jiu was still a little worried at that time. He felt that his sister's breasts were a little big, and they would be a burden when combined with the big sword.
But Senior Sister Xiaoqi is different. She was born with a good figure, no fat on her chest, and she can wield a big sword without any worries.
Without Gu Xiaoxiao and Gu Ningshuang, the Gu family suddenly became much quieter, but because Gu Jiu was still there, the atmosphere of the New Year was still there in the Gu family.
In the past, the Chinese New Year was celebrated only when the eldest daughter Gu Ningshuang returned home. This year, the Chinese New Year will be celebrated only when the eldest daughter Gu Ningshuang, the young lady Gu Xiaoxiao, and the young master Gu Jiu return home.
Now that the two young ladies are gone, as long as the young master is still here, it will still be the New Year.
It can be seen that Gu Jiu’s presence in the Gu family has been very strong during this year.
The reason why Gu Jiu didn't think about returning to the academy so soon was, firstly, because he was the third in command of the academy and had free time to arrange his vacation, and secondly, because he felt that his father would be sad if the three of them left together, so he decided to leave a few days later to ease his father's sadness.
During this time, Xiao Hui was pampered by his family with delicious food and drinks. Gu Jiu felt that he had gained a lot of weight and couldn't help but say, "Lose weight. It's really easy for people to make you into a soup pot, especially in this weather."
After hearing Gu Jiu's words, Xiao Hui's ears stood up and he instantly started jumping up and down, exercising.
……
On a snowy morning, Xiaoyu, the servant of the Gu family, opened the door and prepared to sweep the snow.
The next moment, she was so scared that she sat down on the ground and let out a strange cry.
I saw a paper man kneeling about five feet away from the door.
A paper figurine, which is only burned when someone dies, was made in the shape of a man kneeling on the ground.
How could this kind of paper figure suddenly appear at the gate of the Gu family?
This paper figure is not well made, even a little shabby, with a round face and bright blush, but it is quite lifelike and looks very realistic.
The sky in the early morning was not too bright, and the paper man was "swaying" slightly in the wind, looking as if he was coming alive.
After hearing Xiaoyu's voice, housekeeper Liu Fang was the first to rush over.
When she saw the paper man outside the door, she was so scared that her hair stood on end.
But soon, Liu Fang took a deep breath, pulled Xiaoyu up, and said in a serious tone: "Whose child put the paper figurine at the door as a prank? How uneducated!"
This was said to Xiaoyu, but also to herself.
As the housekeeper of the family, Liu Fang has always been quite courageous.
After determining that it was a child's prank, Liu Fang walked straight over and tried to move the paper man away.
But as soon as her hand grabbed the paper man's ears, it let out a strange cry of "Ah!"
At this time, there were some more needles on the five fingers of Liu Fang's right hand.
Black needle!
These needles had been hidden in the paper man, and as soon as Liu Fang exerted force, they were caught.
Soon, she felt dizzy, and in a daze, she even felt that the paper man was smiling at her...
The quietness of the Gu family in the early morning was soon broken by a scream.
……
Gu Jiu appeared at the door first, and then directly grabbed the wrist of the housekeeper Liu Fang.
Immediately afterwards, a gentle "Snow Flow Glazed Jade Crane Power" poured into the opponent's body.
The black poison that had spread from Liu Fang's hands to her neck began to recede at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then disappeared.
Gu Jiu frowned slightly, looking uneasy.
He found that this poison was extremely powerful. If he had arrived half a minute later, the butler would probably have died.
He did a set of radio gymnastics before going to bed last night, but he was still very hot in the middle of the night, so he moved the rattan chair to sleep under the eaves in the yard, not far from the gate. Otherwise, given his laziness, he probably would not have made it in time.
Gu Jiu picked up the fallen Liu Fang and handed her to the servants, and ordered: "Close the door, no one is allowed to go out today. If mother and father come, say the same thing."
At this moment, Gu Jiu seemed like a different person in the eyes of the two servants who had rushed over.
The servant holding Liu Fang had not yet reacted when he was pushed into the yard by his young master, and then the door was slammed shut.
Gu Jiu stood outside the gate, looking at the paper man about five feet away from the Gu family's gate, his eyes slightly narrowed.
It was five feet away and still within the range of the formation, but the formation had not been activated, proving that this was not a ghost or evil creature, but a very ingenious mechanism design.
There are needles buried in the paper man, which is a bit poisonous.
Gu Jiu walked over and tore open a corner of the paper man with his hands. He found that it was a straw man wrapped in paper, which was covered with densely packed black steel needles.
From this perspective, this was a long-planned vicious plot to kill his family.
Just as Gu Jiu was thinking, the paper man, which was originally a dead object, suddenly grinned and pounced on Gu Jiu with a "wow".
Almost at the same time, the peach tree in the courtyard shook, the magic sword in the lobby flashed, and the sword formation was activated.
But it was a beat too late.
Gu Jiu was too close to the paper figure, and the sword energy from the sword formation could not reach him.
It turned out that this was the real conspiracy of the paper man. The previous black needle prick was just a trick, a bait to lure Gu Jiu into taking the bait.
Gu Jiu's judgment just now was indeed wrong, because before, he really couldn't feel that this thing had the possibility of suddenly "coming alive".
But at this moment, the paper man is truly "alive".
Just when the paper man opened his mouth wide and was about to bite Gu Jiu's neck, Gu Jiu took action!
He didn't choose to defend, but to attack.
The two fingers of Gu Jiu's right hand turned into a flash of lightning, piercing through the paper man's chest, and then a magical scene happened.
The paper man that was about to hurt people "died" again, fell softly to the ground, and was slightly swayed by the wind. It looked no different from an ordinary paper man.
There was an extra seed between Gu Jiu's fingers.
Grass seeds.
The next moment, Gu Jiu crushed the grass seed and looked towards the outside of the town with murderous intent in his eyes.
Chapter 52 Killing a Person with a Snap of the Finger
The moment the grass seed was crushed by Gu Jiu, Gu Jiu had already sensed the presence of the culprit.
It was a very faint connection of life, and it was obvious that the host of this grass seed was outside the town.
The formation did not produce any response before because the paper man was indeed a dead object at that time. But why the paper man suddenly attacked and hurt people later was all because of this seed.
The seeds germinated and grew in an instant, naturally bringing about changes.
Outside the Gu Mansion, murderous intent flashed in Gu Jiu's eyes, and his expression was cold; inside the Gu Mansion, the entire family gathered in front of the tightly closed door, too frightened to even breathe.
The servant named Xiaoyu gasped in fear and stammered, "There was a paper man outside who injured the housekeeper, and then the young master went out and told us not to open the door no matter what."
After hearing Xiaoyu's description and looking at the unconscious housekeeper Liu Fang, whose face was still shrouded in fear, Gu Xinyue's face turned pale and she said, "Listen to my son."
Old Man Gu wanted to say something, but Gu Xinyue quickly stopped him and said, "We're probably not as good as Xiaojiu. Since he said that, he naturally doesn't want us to go out and cause trouble."
Then, the head of her family looked at everyone and ordered, "Don't panic, don't get confused. You should know the origins of your young master and young lady."
At this time, everyone realized that the young master Gu Jiu was also a member of the sect.
Although the sect was criticized by the eldest lady as worthless, who can say for sure about such things?
A year ago, the young master would just lie in the yard and take a nap, but what about now?
It seems like I have already felt like the pillar of the family.
Outside the mansion, Gu Jiu glanced at the Gu family’s gate and walked out of the town.
It looks like a paper man, but it’s actually a straw man. Who else could it be?
What surprised Gu Jiu was that even though he had sensed the other party's presence, the thing outside the town did not leave in a hurry, as if it was waiting for him.
Last time was my first fight. I had no experience and failed to kill you. How dare you come here now? Where do you get the confidence from?
And those things from Taohua An, are you really sure you want to mess with me?
Gu Jiu was thinking about these things as he walked.
At this time, a cut appeared on the right cheek of the nun Lingyu who was standing under the big tree, and one of her eyes appeared.
Immediately afterwards, a line of blood flowed from the eye.
The nun Lingyu stood there, her expression still gloomy, but with a bloodshot eye suddenly appearing on her face, she no longer looked like a nun at all.
This is clearly a ghost, okay?
A female farmer was passing by the intersection. After seeing this scene, she was so scared that she ran away without doing anything.
Today, she only wanted to kill Gu Jiu.
The Gu Jiu who had beaten her with a shovel and then pierced her throat with the shovel handle.
Senior Sister Miao Tu said that this young man was a hidden master who had the ability to shock and kill souls, but she did not think so.
