My friends are all over the world

Outside Shou Que Mountain, Gu Yuan took another look at the book Lin Xin was holding in his hand, and lowered his head to help him tie the fallen jade ornaments around his waist.

Lin Xin held the two boxes, flipping through the old book casually.

He looked up at Hu Rong: "Rong Rong, thank Fu Gui for me."

Hu Rong nodded: "Okay."

Seeing him looking at Gu Yuan with searching eyes, Lin Xin knew that he had doubts about Gu Yuan, so he emphasized his tone and called out, "Rong Rong."

Hu Rong withdrew his gaze and looked at Lin Xin: "I understand, Your Highness, I will not do it again."

Gu Yuan tied the jade ornaments on Lin Xin's waist, stroked the tassels again, and rubbed Lin Xin's head: "You haven't seen your senior brother for a long time, go play with them."

Lin Xin glanced at him hesitantly: "Aren't you going in for a sit down?"

Gu Yuan said: "Do you want to eat Yunlai Peak's dim sum?"

Lin Xin was immediately led astray by him, and nodded with a smile: "I think so."

"I'll get it for you." Gu Yuan pushed him towards the three senior brothers, "Go and play with your senior brothers first."

Lin Xin followed the trend and walked towards the seniors, and looked back with some reassurance: "Then you should come back sooner."

"Ah."

Lin Xin left with the three senior brothers.

I haven't returned to Shou Que Shan for some days, and the four brothers and sisters meet again and get closer.

Si Xuan hugged Lin Xin's shoulders: "Thanks to Xinxin, I have some snacks to eat."

Lin Xin rubbed his chin, then looked back: "Why do I feel that Gu Yuan seems weird."

Hu Li chuckled: "Meet your rivals in love, and you're in the tenth level of preparation."

He spoke lightly, but Lin Xin didn't understand clearly, so he asked, "What?"

"It's nothing." Hu Li fell behind Lin Xin, folded his hands and sighed, "My stupid brother, he never made it clear that he lost now, and he lost before the fight even started."

He said to himself: "Think about it, he has a heart of stone. If you don't explain it clearly, no wonder he only regards you as a friend. If you explain it clearly, people will compare you with him; if you don't say it, Not even qualified to compete."

Hu Li raised his eyes to look at Lin Xin, shook his head and said, "It's all right now, I've even made a kiss. Fly away, fly away."

In his eyes, it is natural that his second younger brother is the best match for his younger junior brother, and the best is the best.

It's gone now.Hu Li felt resentful in his heart, walking on the mountain road, he kicked a pebble that was blocking the way.

The small stone drew a beautiful arc in the air, hitting the back of Xiwu who was walking in front.

Xi Wu frowned and looked back at him.

Hu Li embarrassedly touched the tip of his nose, hummed a song and looked away.

Qi Wu also slowed down and walked to him: "What are you doing?"

"I don't have one." Hu Li shook his hand, turned to look at him with an innocent face, "Senior Brother?"

Xi Wu also called him like this: "Junior brother."

"Hey, go back and play cards."

Hu Li wanted to take two quick steps forward, but was stopped by Qi Wu.

"You are angry with me because Dijun is engaged to my junior brother, and because Dijun is my cousin?"

"No." Hu Li waved his hand, "Junior Brother dare not."

Xiwu knew that he was not telling the truth, but he also let go of him.

Hu Li smiled slyly, and said: "It won't affect our brotherhood. I went back to play cards. I haven't played cards for so many days. It's really itchy."

He stepped forward quickly, pushed away Si Xuan's hand on Lin Xin's shoulder, and pulled Lin Xin towards him.

He whispered: "If you lose, you lose. Anyway, Junior Brother is still my Junior Brother."

After Lin Xin left, only Gu Yuan and Hu Rong were left outside Shou Que Mountain.

Because of Lin Xin, the two of them often met at Shouque Mountain, but they didn't talk much.

The last time I spoke alone was a long time ago.

Hu Rong thought that Gu Yuan would get bored soon, and also thought that Lin Xin would get bored soon, so he was not in a hurry.

Gu Yuan didn't make any excuses and asked him to wait.

In the end, Hu Rong waited until Lin Xin and Gu Yuan got engaged.

But right now, he still broods over Huai Xu's words.

Although he promised Lin Xin that he would "never do it again" and would not interfere in this matter again, it was just a stopgap measure he didn't want to make Lin Xin angry.

On the Zhanxiantai, Huaixu told Lin Xin that Gu Yuan, like him, would kill Lin Xin on the Zhanxiantai just like he sacrificed the barbarians and kittens.

Hu Rong met Huaixu, and felt that most of the immortals in the fairy world are hypocritical and cunning.

At this time, he looked at Gu Yuan in the same way.

He thought, Lin Xin was deceived by Gu Yuan for a while, just like the barbarian was deceived by Huaixu at that time.

It's just that Gu Yuangui is an emperor, even if Hu Rong wants to investigate him, he can't directly start with Emperor Chongyuan.

He can only start from the known past of Lin Xin, and investigate Lin Xin's experience of being a subjugated emperor in the human world before he became a fairy.

For a year, he searched for the demon king Mojun who might have crossed paths with Lin Xin at that time.

Unexpectedly, none of these people remembered the specific situation at that time.

This matter became more and more strange, as if someone had secretly erased their memories.

Finally, he found Mr. He Ting He, who was not able to cultivate human form at that time.

If someone really made them forget something, then this person had missed Heting.

From He Ting's mouth, he can be sure that Lin Xin knew Gu Yuan in the imperial palace of Wu Kingdom.

But Lin Xin didn't remember, Hu Rong was with Lin Xin in Wu's palace at that time, and he didn't remember either.

If Gu Yuan and Huai Xu are the same.

Then Hu Rong can speculate that since Huai Xu and Man Niang experienced love calamity together, then Gu Yuan and Lin Xin must also experience love calamity together.

Not in the mirror of reincarnation, but in reality.The characters inside are not illusions, but real people.

Perhaps it was because Gu Yuan seemed to be full of emptiness, and failed to detect the tribulation of love.

Perhaps Lin Xin's fate as a fairy is the result of his love and calamity with Gu Yuan.

Or maybe, it was because of Gu Yuan's failure in the calamity that Lin Xin became immortal.Ordinary people have a limited lifespan, so Gu Yuan wants to keep him by his side for a long time, so that he can wait with him until the day he finds out the love disaster.

Of course, these are just Hu Rong's speculations.

On the night of the Xianjun Temple, Hu Rong originally wanted to tell Lin Xin about this matter and his guesses, but unexpectedly Lin Xin said that he didn't want to delve into it.

Hu Rong didn't understand, Lin Xin had known for a long time that Gu Yuan might use him, but he said that he didn't want to know the past, obviously he didn't want to face it.

Hu Rong looked at him seemingly transparently, but in fact he had already fallen into the quagmire and was unable to save himself.

He couldn't just watch Lin Xin repeat the same mistakes as Man Niang.

He also didn't want to guard the soul lamp for others again.

Hu Rong turned to look at Gu Yuan, Gu Yuan accepted Lin Xin, and went to Yunlai Peak to get him some snacks, then turned around to leave, Hu Rong said: "Gu Xianjun, you and I are on the way, let's go for a walk together?"

Gu Yuan turned his head and glanced at him: "Okay."

Hu Rong followed, and said casually: "I chatted with Gu Xianjun a while ago, and I said that Xianjun will get tired of it sooner or later. Today, it seems that I am narrow-minded."

Gu Yuan was very blunt, and replied: "Yes."

I didn't expect him to be so assertive, Hu Rong was at a loss for words for a moment.

Gu Yuan paused, and continued: "I don't know the other people. My love and pity for him is getting deeper and deeper, and I will never get tired of it."

Mentioning Lin Xin, Gu Yuan had a slight smile on his face and tone.

Hu Rong probably didn't believe a word, and just said: "It's so rare. Your Highness treats Gu Xianjun in the same way?"

"I don't know." Gu Yuan said, "I treat him so well."

Hu Rong asked again: "I wonder if the wedding date between Your Highness and Gu Xianjun has been set? I will prepare the congratulatory gift early."

"The wedding date is decided by Guang Le, and I and Lin Xin are in no hurry." Gu Yuan softened his tone even more, "He has many friends and likes to play, so he may not want to get married so soon. I can't help but want to control him and not let him go out to find friends."

But Hu Rong said: "From my look, His Highness clearly likes Gu Xianjun more than his friends."

"It's just a few points. It's okay to let him play for a while." Gu Yuan lowered his eyes, hiding the expression in his eyes, "Besides, I still have some small things to solve before getting married."

The second half of the sentence fell into Hu Rong's ears, and he was shocked. He didn't know if Gu Yuan was talking about the calamity.

He thought for a while, and said: "Recently, a flood dragon emerged from the White Jade Lake in the demon world. This flood dragon was still young, so I took him with me. But because I am a demon fox, I don't know how the dragon clan cultivates. Dare I ask?" Gu Xianjun, how did you cultivate?"

Gu Yuan only said four very short words: "Retreat and meditate."

"Gu Xianjun, can you be more specific?"

"Turn the aura of heaven and earth for your own use."

"I don't know..." Hu Rong said, "What kind of practice is Huaixu's practice of killing his wife to prove the Tao?"

"That's not a way to practice." Gu Yuan glanced at him, and said lightly, "It's him who went into a rut and misunderstood the idea of ​​'Heaven is ruthless'. There is no such practice as killing his wife to prove the Tao. People are far-fetched."

"Really? But he almost flew up too."

"He received a sword from the Manniang, but he failed to ascend, but fell to the Immortal Slashing Platform, and his soul flew away, which is also within the calculation of heaven."

"But since he was wrong, how dare you ask Gu Xianjun how he became a god?"

"I was moved after I met Lin Xin, and I was not moved before I met him, so I ascended before I met him."

Hu Rong thought for a while, and then asked further: "Your immortal family said 'too high to forget feelings', does that mean that after getting to know His Highness, Gu Xianjun's cultivation has been retreating step by step?"

Gu Yuan ignored his provocation, and only asked coldly: "'Why can't you cultivate the righteous way?'"

Hu Rong sneered: "Didn't your Xian family say this? Gu Xianjun asked me in turn, how would I know?"

Gu Yuan said: "It was Lin Xin who asked me that question just now."

Hu Rong's face darkened.

But Gu Yuan continued to say: "Lin Xin said that only people who have feelings can practice the righteous way."

Just as he was talking, he arrived at Yunlai Peak.

Live on Yunlai Peak are hundreds of white rabbits pounding medicine, and they also make snacks.

A white rabbit was carrying two food boxes, bouncing up and down in front of Gu Yuan.

"See Dijun, did you send Xinxin some snacks again? I made new snacks and put them inside. Remember to ask Xinxin to give it a good review."

Gu Yuan took the food box, nodded, and thanked him.

After leaving Yunlai Peak, Gu Yuan took another look at Hu Rong: "Didn't the Demon King want to go back to the Demon Realm?"

Hu Rong's expression did not change: "I still have something to ask my brother, and I am going to go back to Shou Que Mountain."

Gu Yuan opened a food box and took a look: "What Lin Xin means is that monsters have feelings, and even monsters can cultivate the righteous way."

He said calmly: "Hu Rong, you want to know how I ascended so much, why don't you try it yourself."

A new round of the Shouque Mountain Gambling King Competition is underway.

A round of poker was over, and when Si Xuan was shuffling the cards, Gu Yuan and Hu Rong came back.

At that time, because Lin Xin lost the game, he lay on the ground a little depressed.

Raising his eyes and seeing Gu Yuan, he regained his energy, sat up quickly, and waved to him.

Gu Yuan handed one of the food boxes to Lin Xin's three senior brothers, carried the other food box himself, sat down beside him, opened the box, and placed the snacks beside him.

The intermission time of the Gambling King Tournament.

Si Xuan took a piece of snack and said, "When Qi Wu had a fiancé, there was no such treatment."

Qi Wu shouted in dissatisfaction: "Senior brother."

Lin Xin was quite proud: "I have good eyesight."

Gu Yuan stretched out his hands to remove the crumbs stuck to the corners of his lips.

Originally, Hu Rong and Gu Yuan came back together, just like before, sitting beside his elder brother.

Hu Li took care of his second brother's mind, uncharacteristically remained silent, and shook Hu Rong's hand secretly.

But Hu Rong brushed his hand away, and said goodbye softly: "There is still something to do in the demon world, so I'll take my leave first."

After everyone said goodbye to him, he left Shouque Mountain without looking back.

Back in the demon world, a little mixed-haired fox was flying a kite with a group of little butterfly demons. When he backed up, he didn't look at the road and bumped into Hu Rong.

Hu Rong looked slightly cold, and called out: "Nonsense."

"Second brother."

Hu Nao is the name of this little mixed-haired fox. He is Hu Liulang, the sixth of Hu Li's younger brothers.

Nonsense: "Second Brother, Your Highness is engaged to someone else, you are in a bad mood, don't show me your face, right? I didn't want to tell you that His Highness is still in the fairy world, but you still have a heart of stone, but you said it's okay, you will take care of it." Yes. Now that it's like this, you might as well just pretend that His Highness is gone, and continue looking for him from heaven to earth."

Hu Rong didn't say a word, Hu Nao continued: "He clings to His Highness all day long, why don't you learn a little bit? Now show me that I am not Yuelao, I will match you two..."

Hu Rong glanced at him coldly, his fox eyes had no waves, and his tone didn't fluctuate: "Get lost."

"Get out, get out, no one will play with you, some people will play with me." Hu Nao raised his eyebrows at him, "Second brother, when do you want to get out, I will introduce you to the little fairy."

Hu Nao collected the kite and was about to leave.

But I heard Hu Rong say again: "Get back."

"Oh." Hu Nao said with a grin, "Second brother, you think about it, which little fairy do you want?"

"His Royal Highness was deceived by others for a while, and he doesn't want to get to the bottom of this matter. I can't let him go." Hu Rong said, "His Royal Highness has been doing missions in Zhenshui Village recently, so he is wary of me. You and His Highness are old friends. Go and accompany him. Tell me something."

"Second brother, you want me to monitor His Highness?" Hu Nao flatly refused, "No, I won't do it. If His Highness knows, I won't have any friends with him."

"Nonsense, Your Highness has saved our lives, and he is kind to us."

"Yes, but this has nothing to do with you asking me to monitor His Highness."

"300 years ago, we just went back to the demon world, and then returned to the human world, and we never found His Highness again." Hu Rong said solemnly, "I don't need to be with His Highness, I would rather he never knew about me. Thoughts, but I don't want to lose him again."

Hu Nao rubbed his nose: "Why are you talking so seriously? I'll go, I'll just go. I'll call you when His Highness is really in danger. I won't tell you about ordinary things."

The game of Shouque Shanli continues.

Si Xuan threw out a leaf card: "Xinxin ate the fiancé's snacks, but it's different. The style of the card is much better."

"Of course." Lin Xin smiled, "The emperor's life is very good, and I think he is also prosperous."

Everyone laughed.

It's been a long time since we saw each other. The four brothers had a great time playing cards, and it didn't end until late at night.

After tidying up the mess, Lin Xin sent Gu Yuan back.

Instead of asking Lin Xinyuan to send him off, Gu Yuan only sent him to the gate of the cave.

Lin Xin rubbed his face, and held back the yawn that came to his lips.

"Go back and go to bed early."

Gu Yuan said, "Lin Xin, there is something I want to tell you."

Lin Xin nodded with sleepy eyes, "Well, tell me."

"In a few days, I want to retreat."

Lin Xin suddenly came to his senses, raised his head, and asked, "Huh? Why are you doing well, and suddenly you want to retreat?"

Gu Yuan's tone was calm: "Before I met you, apart from going to the Demon Realm to do small things, I just practiced in seclusion. You just don't know."

Lin Xin patted him, feigning anger and said: "So after you got to know me, you abandoned your practice, and I took you to have fun and lose your mind?"

"No, I prefer to stay with you than retreat."

Lin Xin smiled and asked again, "How long will it take?"

"I'll probably come out when you finish the mission in Zhenshui Village."

"Oh." Lin Xin suddenly realized, "No wonder you are rushing to get engaged to me. It turned out that you were afraid that if you didn't make it, you went to retreat and didn't look at me. When you come out again, I won't like you so much."

Gu Yuan did not refute: "Well, there is such a reason."

"Then when did you start retreating?"

"These few days."

"Ah, good." Lin Xin thought for a while, and asked a silly question, "Then when you are retreating, can't you send me a message?"

Gu Yuan chuckled lightly: "I can't."

"I can't pass it on to you either?"

"No."

"Can't even Lingxi be used?"

"No." Gu Yuan said, "I heard you talking, it's easy to go crazy."

"That's it." Lin Xin lowered his head, "Then I will try my best to restrain myself and definitely not look for you."

Gu Yuan stroked his temples: "During the day, I saw the book that Fugui gave you, and there are some records about the entry of devil energy into the body."

"Well, I want to see what's going on with your eyes again, so... what's wrong?"

"I want to read that book, and I want to take it to retreat, can you lend me that book?"

"Okay, what are you talking about so politely?" Lin Xin patted him on the shoulder with a smile, turned around and turned back, "I'll get it for you now."

He trotted back to the cave, and handed over the books and the wooden box in which they were packed to Gu Yuan.

"Your eyes should be fine, right?"

"No, got it under control, just trying to take advantage of it."

"Then be careful." Lin Xin nodded solemnly, "It's getting late, go back quickly."

"Okay." Gu Yuan supported his head and kissed his forehead, "Don't play cards when you go back, good night and sweet dreams."

"I don't particularly like playing cards either." Lin Xin rubbed his forehead, "Go back to sleep."

Back in Xishan Yun Palace, Gu Yuan put the wooden box that Lin Xin had given him on the case, without even looking at it again, let alone opening it.

There is no book in the world that the emperor cannot find.

And he didn't want this book, he just didn't want Lin Xin to read it.
