The villain is cold and attractive

After a long time, Gu Yunzhan sat under the promenade of Wushuang Palace, dreaming about many old things.

Twice he died, and twice he came back to life.

For the first time, he insisted on entering the Kunlun Ruins without heeding dissuasion. Maybe it was destiny that guided him to get close to Kunlun Jade. Ye Ting, because he didn't know what the Kunlun Crystal was, he died under Shen Yin's sword.

When he came back to life, he not only wanted to seek revenge from the Xuanyin Sect, but also wanted to seek revenge from someone who once lied to him for the Kunlun Crystal and who wanted to take his life with the last sword.But at the end, he realized that Jiang Yourong's body had been replaced. There was a vast crowd, and he could no longer find that enemy.

The Jiang He who occupied his body told him that if he was confused, he should ask Murong Sheng and He Zhen, they might know something.

what?Gu Yunzhan had many questions in his mind, for example, in the first life, Jiang Yourong killed him, but why did Shen Qingxiao, who cooperated with him, save him?

Did he really not know that he didn't die that time?Or, does he really need the Kunlun Crystal?

There were so many questions that he didn't know how to speak.

When Gu Yunzhan knew that his body was the crystal of Kunlun and the core of Kunlun Jade, and his mission was to return to Kunlun Jade and make Kunlun Jade a real artifact, these issues became extremely important.

He wanted to ask clearly before he died, so he listened to Jiang He's words and went to ask Murong Sheng.

But Murong Sheng replied to Gu Yunzhan in this way, "Master Jiang? I only know that he came to Zhen'er in a hurry that year and said he was going to enter the Kunlun Ruins. Speaking of which, Zhen'er also felt strange at the time, because he was injured and his body It's all blood, but he insisted on entering Kunlun Jade, so Zhen'er had to let him go. Later, it was heard that he and Jiang Yu, who had mixed up with Xuanyin Sect's people into Kunlun Ruins, died together. At that time, many people speculated that he was Knowing that Jiang Yu will be in Kunlun Ruins, he went in for revenge."

No, it was actually for him.

Gu Yunzhan already knew the answer.Even though many questions hadn't been answered yet, when he knew that Jiang Yourong entered the Kunlun Ruins for him in that life and died there, his heart was already in a mess.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have been kept in the dark, only seeing what someone wanted him to see, but ignoring a lot of truth.He even began to suspect that everything he saw in that life was an illusion.

But the situation forced Gu Yunzhan to sacrifice his soul to practice the Kunlun Jade in order to restore the Kunlun Jade. He thought that he would never have the chance to know the rest of the answers, and all the questions became infinite regrets.

It's just that God's will is often unexpected.God has mercy on him and gave him another chance to start over.

After the second resurrection, Gu Yunzhan appeared in Wushuang Palace, even he himself found it unbelievable.He recuperates here and waits for the master to pick him up along the way.

This second rebirth of Heaven's Dao gift was like a dream, Gu Yunzhan waited in Wushuang Palace for many days, and felt that he was still dreaming.

Half-dream and half-awake, a voice slowly approached, Gu Yunzhan, who was resting on the corridor, slowly woke up, facing a pair of immature and bright eyes, this is a child, the child who appeared in Wushuang Palace.

"My name is Gu Rong, brother, does Elder Murong also use a sword? I want to learn how to use a sword."

That's what the kid told him.Gu Yunzhan didn't know how to take care of a child at all. This child was found by people from Wushuang Palace, and he wanted to learn swords from Palace Master Shen. However, they didn't accept apprentices, so this child was sent to Palace Master Shen's future Daoist couples are companions, but they don’t like children. They are all temporarily living under the same roof, and the child has been entangled with Gu Yunzhan. In the end, when the master and senior brothers came to pick up Gu Yunzhan, the child cried and shouted. Wanting to go back to Xuantianzong with him, Master Murong Sheng softened his heart and advised Gu Yunzhan to take him away.

So later Gu Yunzhan somehow got an extra apprentice.

This child named Gu Rong wants to worship him as a teacher, Gu Yunzhan is also dumbfounded.

Although the child looks extraordinarily self-willed and innocent, this is just the side he wants to show others on the surface. Over time, Gu Yunzhan sensed that something was wrong. He found that Gu Rong's hippie smile was often pretended. In fact, it was extremely deep and complicated, Gu Rong, he didn't look like a child at all.

In the past 20 years, since the news of Gu Yunzhan's return spread, many people wanted to see him. After all, his existence is so novel, the incarnation of the Kunlun Crystal.Therefore, he could not recover from his injuries in Xuantianzong, which saved him a lot of trouble, and he also brought along the newly recruited apprentice—in fact, most of the time, the apprentice still practiced with Qin Fei, and occasionally he had to be mentored by his master Murong Sheng. Just to mention, Gu Yunzhan is just a famous master.

Gu Rong's aptitude is very good, he is the one-in-a-kind Heavenly Spiritual Root, and he is personally taught by No. 1 of the righteous way. Before he was 16 years old, he had already formed a golden core, faster than Murong Sheng's most proud disciple He Zhen .

After 20 years of entry, the child has grown into a teenager. After forming the alchemy, the body grows very slowly. For several years, he looks like a teenager with red lips and white teeth. Yunzhan, the famous master, is always in the same place in front of him, but the medicine that Gu Yunzhan has been drinking for many years is all decocted by him himself.

After living for two lifetimes, Gu Yunzhan never thought that he would accept an apprentice and live such a comfortable life. Shen Yin is dead, Ye Ting is also dead, Xuanyin Sect is down, Ye Xinghe is not easy, although he did not Do it yourself, but it can be regarded as avenging the Gu family.

Even though he knew that he was not the real Gu family, he was deceived by his parents for many years when he was young, and he really thought that he was suffering from a serious illness and could not cultivate, but he did not dare to forget the kindness of his upbringing, and he also knew how good the Gu family treated him.

As time went by, watching Gu Rong grow up little by little, the original strangeness gradually faded away, and Gu Yunzhan began to feel like he had raised a child.

Because Gu Rong is extremely clingy to him, she always sleeps with him, and they are both surnamed Gu.

When Gu Rong grew up, Gu Yunzhan lamented that time flies, and the image of Gu Rong in his heart has changed again. He is just a little brother. He has never had any unreasonable thoughts, but he does not want his apprentice to have any unreasonable feelings towards him. think.

It happened a few months ago.

Gu Yunzhan and Gu Rong lived together all the time. Gu Rong told the master that he wanted to take good care of the master, but when he grew up, he just moved the bed to the side room.

That day when Gu Rong was practicing swordsmanship in the back mountain, he had to go under the guidance of his master himself. Gu Yunzhan came down to find some things in his room in his spare time, and then found a piece of rice paper pressed under the paperweight in front of his desk.

There is only one word on the paper, listen.

The sharp and powerful strokes of the pen shocked Gu Yunzhan's heart even more.This word is too familiar.

Gu Rong doesn't like to practice calligraphy. He already knew how to read before going to Xuantianzong, but because he is used to writing with his left hand, his handwriting is a bit crooked, but Gu Yunzhan is not too reluctant for a child who is only eight years old. He just treats him as left-handed, but He practiced sword with his right hand.

Over the years, Gu Rong's handwriting has also become more correct, but there is always something missing between the strokes.Seeing that word, Gu Yunzhan probably knew that something was missing, he was not left-handed at all.

He writes with his left hand, trying to hide something.

Gu Yunzhan quietly put the word back, the position was impartial, as if no one had ever touched it, but he couldn't help but admit it, because he found that there was a stack of words in the drawer with a small gap. Rice paper, his fingers still touched the drawer, and he pulled it open, and the words 'Ling' filled his eyes.

This word is all over the paper, and his name is Gu Ling.

Gu Yunzhan calmly restored everything to its original state, and sat by the window overlooking the lonely peak hidden in the clouds.

He seemed to have spent all his patience in the previous two lifetimes until Gu Rong came back.

Gu Rong lit the candle, and was shocked when he saw Master sitting by the window at first, and then came with a candlestick with a smile, "Is Master waiting for me? Why don't you light the lamp?"

Below the window is a cliff, a few feet is not too high, there is a rushing mountain spring hidden among the jagged rocks underneath, and Gu Yunzhan is sitting on the window sill, with thin green clothes, as if he is going to go with the wind at any time, or Falling off the cliff, Gu Rong was terrified, put the candlestick on the desk, and hurried to Gu Yunzhan.

Gu Yunzhan pushed his hand away, still looking at the new moon in the sky, "It's nothing, just come and have a look."

Gu Rong still pulled him down involuntarily, wrapping his arms around his shoulders, and the half-embracing posture was quite moderate, but he was used to it over the years, and Gu Yunzhan was also used to it. "Master, don't read it any more, I always feel that you are going to fly to the moon like Chang'e."

Gu Yunzhan's face half hidden in the darkness was stunned for a moment, then he laughed lowly, pushed Gu Rong away and said, "I'm planning to go down the mountain."

Gu Rong paused with a smile, "Where are you going? What is Master going down the mountain for? You are not in good health yet, besides, there are still many people at the foot of the mountain who are thinking about you, the body transformed from the Kunlun crystal. Master will not agree..."

Gu Yunzhan has never had much airs in front of his apprentices, but at this moment, his gaze at Gu Rong became a little strange, a little cold, and a little inquiring, "You don't care too much, I'm the master, are you Master? What's more, I have never taught you anything, the name of master and apprentice is just a name, have you ever thought about..."

"have not thought!"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Rong interrupted. Even if he didn't know what Gu Yunzhan wanted to say next, he knew that Gu Yunzhan was a little strange, so the smile on his face became more flattering, "Master, apprentice My son went up the mountain with you, you are my master, this will never change. But master, why did you go down the mountain?"

Gu Yunzhan lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time before saying, "Go back to Yuheng Palace and have a look."

"Master wants to go home?"

Yuheng Palace had already been destroyed, and Gu Yunzhan suddenly said that he wanted to go back, Gu Rong was also a little surprised.

But thinking about it, I can understand why Gu Yunzhan is out of order today. After so many years, Gu Yunzhan should let go of his hatred, and it is reasonable to want to go home and pay respects to his parents.

Even if they are not biological parents, Gu Yunzhan is indeed a person who values ​​affection.

Gu Yunzhan nodded, lowered his head and walked outside the house, "I will tell Master."

Gu Rong didn't say anything more, because Gu Yunzhan was a little depressed, so he just quietly watched Gu Yunzhan leave the room, and then the door next door was opened and closed again.

Three days later, when Gu Yunzhan went down the mountain, he saw Gu Rong carrying a bundle in front of the mountain gate.The young man is heroic, he smiles modestly and pleasingly, and when he is not smiling, he also has a restrained and steady aura.

"Gu Rong." Gu Yunzhan's face was a little pale. After his resurrection this time, his health has not been very good, and the progress of his cultivation has slowed down a lot. Fortunately, Murong Sheng has always been tolerant to his apprentices and did not urge him. Zhan's apprentices are taught as their own little disciples, and they are also very attentive.

Gu Rongyang smiled vigorously, his deep eyes were deeply hidden by him, and he said: "I have been waiting for Master for a long time, I didn't expect Master to go down the mountain now, Master is lying in bed again, right?"

There are no rules at all, this apprentice is really unqualified.

Gu Yunzhan said: "Now is the hour of the morning." It means that he didn't get up late.

Gu Rong smiled again, "Then is Master ready to go down the mountain?"

"Nonsense." Gu Yunzhan passed him holding the Yuheng sword, and when he passed by, Gu Rong smiled and snatched the sword from his hand, "The sword is too heavy, let the apprentice help you carry it."

Gu Yunzhan said calmly: "No need, the shadow is waiting for me at the foot of the mountain."

He also has a shadow guard, but because he is not a member of Xuantianzong, he can only stay at the foot of the mountain. Shadow is a very loyal shadow guard. He has been guarding the foot of the mountain for many years, except for the few years when he heard that Gu Yunzhan died. , He went back to Yuheng Palace and planned to stay in Yuheng Palace all the time, but he didn't expect Gu Yunzhan to come back.

Gu Rong hugged his sword tightly, and said as a matter of course: "I am the master's apprentice, of course the apprentice has to help the master hold the sword, why should the master be polite, this is the duty of the apprentice."

Gu Yunzhan laughed, "I never taught you anything."

However, he didn't insist, so he let the Yuheng sword passed down to him by the couple of Yuheng Palace and the couple who had raised him for many years.

Yuheng Palace is very far away, half a month, stop and go, Gu Yunzhan finally arrived in front of the door.

Previously, Yuheng Palace was managed by shadows, and the inside was not too deserted, but after many years, when Gu Yunzhan stood in front of the former house again, he felt a little timid.

The Gu family may not be considered his home, but it is the home given to him by the owner of the Gu family. They said that he was their eternal son, and they did raise him as their own child.

It's a pity that everything can't go back, the Gu family is long gone.

The Yuheng Palace is deserted, and there is a thick layer of golden leaves in front of the gate. It is a ginkgo tree in front of the Yuheng Palace Mountain Gate, which was already there before Gu Yunzhan took shape.

A gust of wind blew by, and the golden leaves swayed gently, making a rustling sound, and a leaf like a small fan fell in front of Gu Yunzhan, as if welcoming him home.

Gu Yunzhan sighed, pushed the door open and went in.

Gu Rong followed closely behind him, separating the last black-clothed shadow guards who had always been silent. He restrained his usual hippie smile, and looked at Gu Yunzhan's back with serious eyes full of worry.

He always had the illusion that if Gu Yunzhan went down the mountain, would he not go back?

A few days later, Gu Rong confirmed that this was an illusion.

Gu Yunzhan behaved very normally. After he came back, he went to worship his parents first. He just lived in Yuheng Palace for a few days to see the environment he grew up in when he was a child. After staying for a few days, he was going back to Xuantianzong.

On the way back, Shadow was left behind. Gu Yunzhan said that he might come back often in the future, and Yuheng Palace was still managed by Shadow. Gu Yunzhan was the master, and Shadow would listen to everything he said.

The boulder hanging in Gu Rong's heart can be regarded as letting go.In the past few days, he was afraid that Gu Yunzhan would be hurt when he returned to his hometown, so he didn't dare to talk too much in front of him. He didn't relax until he left Yuheng Palace, but he noticed carefully that Gu Yunzhan After leaving Yuheng Palace, his face seemed to become more serious.

"Master, is something on your mind?" Gu Rong couldn't help asking.

Gu Yunzhan gave him a sideways glance, not like the tolerant eyes of an older brother looking at his younger brother with a helpless smile in the past, but a little cold, "I won't go back to Xuantianzong for now."

Gu Rong's heart tightened, "Where are you going then?"

"Suoyang Immortal City."

……

Suoyang Immortal City, that is a name that once resounded throughout the cultivation world.

Many years ago, at the birthday banquet of the city lord of Suoyang Immortal City, half of the cultivators of the orthodox sect were trapped here by the demon leader Jiang Yu, including the famous Elder Song of the Hanshan Sect. To everyone's surprise, it was the rumored good-for-nothing city lord who rescued them and killed Jiang Yu, the father-killing enemy.

For a while, Jiang Yourong's name spread all over the cultivation world, but Gu Yunzhan knew long ago that Jiang Yourong, City Lord Jiang, was not the real City Lord Jiang, and the real Jiang Yourong did not have such powerful strength.

Since Jiang Yu's death, the Jiang City Lord abandoned the Immortal City and left, and the old people of Suoyang Immortal City also followed the new master Jiang Xiaotian to Xiaoluan Mountain. Today's Suoyang Immortal City is comparable to the Yuheng Palace that was destroyed.The same is empty, the same is not seen, and it is even more deserted than Yuheng Palace.

Obviously no one has lived in the huge residential complex for many years, looking from a distance, it looks a bit eerie and eerie. It wasn't until entering the inner city gate and the city lord's mansion that Gu Yunzhan realized that many things hadn't changed.The vestibule of the City Lord's Mansion is a bit dilapidated. He and Shen Qingxiao once had a big fight here, but Shen Qingxiao obviously let him in at that time.The vegetation in the backyard of the city lord's mansion grew wantonly, as if no one had taken care of it for many years. Gu Yunzhan led Gu Rong through Qinglianju, Wangyue Tower, through the plum blossom forest, and finally came to a small bamboo forest, a piece of slender green bamboo The leaves slowly floated down on Gu Yunzhan's shoulders.

Behind the bamboo forest is the Xiangzhu Residence where Gu Yunzhan once lived.

That small bamboo building left Gu Yunzhan with so many memories, he walked through the bamboo forest, and finally stood in front of that small bamboo building, everything was still the same as when he left.

If we talk about going back to Yuheng Palace, Gu Yunzhan feels timid because he is close to his hometown, but he is deeply moved when he comes to Suoyang Immortal City.He had seen the decline of Suoyang Immortal City with his own eyes.

"I lived here for a while." Gu Yun said.

The person behind him took a moment to answer, and said with a smile: "So it's a revisit of the old place, Master, it's getting dark, let's get out of the city quickly."

"No." Gu Yunzhan said: "Stay here tonight."

Gu Rong smiled, "But no one has lived here for a long time, Master, isn't he afraid that there will be evil spirits haunting at night?"

Gu Yunzhan squinted and said: "At this time, it is time for you, an apprentice, to come forward to protect him as a teacher."

Gu Rong laughed, "Yes, what Master said is absolutely true!"

Gu Yunzhan asked Gu Rong to clean up in the bamboo building, and he was idle in front of the door to watch the sunset. He knew that Gu Rong had been listening, so he sat in front of the door and said: "The Lord Jiang of Suoyang Immortal City is a powerful character. I happen to know him. He is a very powerful person. Everyone says that he has the Hanyuan Divine Sword. In fact, he has nothing. Everyone says that his aptitude is mediocre. In fact, he can kill Jiang Yu, and he once took the red flame for me Flowers, I still have five memories."

"Red Flame Flower?" Gu Rong, who was cleaning the house, paused, although he was still smiling, the corner of his mouth was a little cold, "Why have you never heard of Master Jiang City Lord?"

Gu Yunzhan lowered his eyes and said: "He is dead. He died on the Jiutian Lost Cliff, and was struck to death by the Jiutian Thunder Tribulation."

Gu Rong smiled and said: "It's very good, how could he be struck to death by the thunder."

Gu Yunzhan said: "He came back to life."

Gu Rong was silent for a while, "Is Master joking?"

Gu Yunzhan smiled, and said lightly: "Of course not, because you are my disciple, I will tell you that this City Lord Jiang is the young master that Palace Master Shen asked you to talk with him back then. " He put his tone very slowly, "Do you remember? He is now Palace Master Shen's Taoist partner, and he is also the son of heaven."

"Everyone praises him as a peerless beauty, but I am fortunate to have met him once."

The sound of cleaning in the house stopped, and Gu Rong's voice came out after a while, seeming to be somewhat displeased: "How does Master know that he is the real City Lord Jiang, maybe he is lying to you?"

"Impossible." Gu Yunzhan said decisively: "Brother You Rong won't lie to me."

Gu Rong's face darkened, he gritted his teeth and did not speak for a long time.

The sky gradually darkened, Gu Yunzhan was leaning on the porch, drowsy, candlelight was lit in the bamboo building, Gu Rong finished cleaning, and when he came out to remind Gu Yunzhan, he saw his lazy appearance. It seemed that after talking about the city lord Jiang, he became very relaxed and his mood became happy.

Gu Rong stood in front of him and said sullenly, "Master, the room is ready."

Gu Yunzhan yawned, stood up against the wall, and waved to him, "Let's rest, we will start again at dawn."

Gu Rong hummed, but didn't follow him into the room, but just sat in a corner on the porch.

The moonlight tonight is extremely beautiful, with silvery white light shining in Suoyang Immortal City, among the hundreds of houses, there is only one light from the bamboo building left, Gu Rong was in a trance for a moment.

He couldn't fall asleep, so he got up and walked outside the bamboo forest, but just as he stepped into the bamboo forest, the lights of the bamboo building behind him suddenly went out, and everything fell into darkness, and at the same time, there was an exclamation.

"what!"

That was Gu Yunzhan's voice, Gu Rong's face changed drastically, he ran back to the door quickly, groped his way in the dark, kicked open the door of the room, he felt a figure in the room, only him in the room And that person's breath, the mouth let out a painful gasp, he thought for a while, then condensed a spiritual fire on his fingertips and re-lit the candle on the table.

"Gu Rong." Gu Yunzhan covered his arms, half of the sleeves of Tsing Yi was already stained with blood.He was sitting on the ground in embarrassment, his face pale and painful.

Seeing this, Gu Rong's heart trembled, and he quickly stepped forward to help him up, "Master, what's going on?"

Gu Yunzhan gasped slightly, pointed to the window, "Someone came here just now."

The window was wide open, and half a footprint seemed to be left on the window sill. Gu Rong frowned, helped Gu Yunzhan to sit down, and pulled away his hand covering his right arm, but he gasped again.

There was a long bloody gash on Gu Yunzhan's right arm. It seemed that a long sword had cut through his sleeve, and his skin was ripped apart, but the bloody gash was not deep. The only weird thing was that the wound was bleeding black blood.

"Master, are you poisoned?" Gu Rong asked in surprise.

Gu Yunzhan bit his lip and nodded, his forehead was already covered with cold sweat, he seemed to be in extreme pain, and his voice was a little hoarse, "That man just now is a demon cultivator who uses poison."

Gu Rong remembered that he brought a lot of wound medicine, and in order to make it easier for Gu Yunzhan to take the medicine at any time, he put it in the bag, and the bag was originally put in the room by Gu Yunzhan, so he asked: "Master, what medicine is the medicine?" Woolen cloth?"

Gu Yunzhan lowered his head and gasped, "Snatched away..."

"Who the hell was it just now..." Under his nose, sneaked into the bamboo building and injured Gu Yunzhan without anyone noticing, and even robbed them of their medicine, Gu Rong felt a little unbelievable.

Gu Yunzhan squinted at him and said, "It's not your crow's mouth."

"It's my fault too..." Gu Rong thought for a moment, "Master, let's leave Suoyang Immortal City to find the antidote."

"It's too late!" Gu Yunzhan grunted in pain, turned his head and spit out a big mouthful of black blood, then his breath became weaker and weaker, Gu Rong was shocked when he saw this, "Master!"

"The poison in me is too strong. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Suoyang Immortal City..." Gu Yunzhan coughed up blood again, and fell into Gu Rong's arms with no strength left. He said with a smile, "I'm afraid I won't be able to escape today." This calamity is over, Gu Rong, after I die, please send me back to Yuheng Palace...and then help me to apologize to Master, the disciple is unfilial..."

"Stop talking silly!" Originally, Gu Rong was not very nervous, but when he started talking nonsense to arrange the funeral, Gu Rong was so anxious that he almost lost his mind. Leaving, "Master, I will go out to find the antidote, I will definitely save you, you wait for me!"

"Gu Rong!" Gu Yunzhan shouted weakly.

But Gu Rong had already left quickly, and hurried out of the bamboo building, his eyes were red with anxiety, at this moment he only wanted to find an antidote for Gu Yunzhan to save his life, he couldn't care about anything else.

"Ah Ling, wait for me!"

With a low murmur, Gu Rong rushed out of the bamboo forest and headed towards Qinglianju.
