The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, it is me who turns back

7.

Someone knocked on the door, it was Qi Wu who came back.

Gu Zhizhou hooked his finger and opened the door.

Qi Wu reported directly: "Mr. Negative Xue, I followed Tianwen all night, and after he returned to Qianqing Palace, he set fire to Qin Zhonghe's resentful spirit, and never went out again. And that Chen Liangyu, after eating After dinner, I went out to fool around, and my gang of brothers were all honest people, followed him to the fireworks field, and almost peed their pants in fright."

Gu Zhizhou waved his hand: "Take all your people back, they just stayed together."

Qi Wu raised his eyebrows: "Then this matter is over?"

"What are you talking about?" Gu Zhizhou said, "The Tianwen burning is fake, it's really here..." He didn't think about how to address him for a while, so he simply pointed at Fu Ziqiu: "It's at his place."

"What are you going to do with the teacher?" Chen Puyu stared at them nervously: "The teacher has no intention of harming anyone. He showed mercy a few times tonight, otherwise I would not be alive."

Fu Ziqiu gave him a reminder: "I almost forgot to ask, what happened tonight?"

Chen Puyu said: "I don't know very well. I was reading a book at that time, and suddenly all the lights in the hall went out, followed by the screams of the palace people. I went out to look with my sword, and ran into the teacher who was killing people. I was scared at the time. I jumped, after all, the teacher has been dead for 15 years, but looking at his appearance, his eyes are red and he doesn't look like a living person. In addition, everyone knows that the imperial city was haunted last night. I probably guessed a little bit. The teacher rushed to kill me. I tried my best to resist, but at the last moment, he couldn't make a move. Looking at his expression, he seemed to recognize me, but he became fierce in a flash, as if he couldn't control himself. "

Qi Wu interrupted: "What do you mean? Wraiths can still recognize people?"

"Yes." On this matter, Fu Ziqiu had more say: "During the fight last night, Qin Zhong and a clone were captured. Later, I went back to Maitreya City and burned them."

It was this avatar that recalled Qin Zhonghe's sporadic mind amidst the overwhelming resentment.Fu Ziqiu hadn't tried it, he was just guessing, but fortunately he was right.

Gu Zhizhou glanced at him, remembering that this person reappeared without warning at night, and he didn't know why he was going crazy.

He was irritable for no reason, and searched around to find something to say: "Where is the Yanyun man? Why didn't you see him."

Qi Wu replied: "They said they were urgently called by the superiors, so I went back first."

"Okay." Gu Zhizhou failed to find fault, stood up and prepared to leave, and glanced at Chen Puyu: "Then I will wrong the sixth prince to stay here tonight, and I will go to sleep with Yanyun."

"Wait." Chen Puyu stopped him: "You haven't said how to deal with the teacher yet."

"He swore a curse before he died, and now he is being used by someone with a heart. If his resentment is not healed, he will be a lonely ghost." Fu Ziqiu said lightly, "Let's rehabilitate him first. It can only be burned with three-life karma. But...he ate a lot of innocent ghosts yesterday and cut off the reincarnation of others.

Chen Puyu couldn't help but took a step forward: "What will happen then?"

"Have you ever heard of the [-]th hell?" Fu Ziqiu raised his legs and walked out: "It's there to pay for your sins, and you will rest when you pay for it."

Yan Yun's room happened to be next door to Fu Ziqiu.

Gu Zhizhou was a step behind him, and when he passed by Fu Ziqiu, he was caught by the man's forearm unexpectedly.

"What's the matter?" Gu Zhizhou's gaze moved upward inch by inch from that hand, and finally stopped on Fu Ziqiu's face.

Fu Ziqiu's eyes were gloomy, and his phoenix eyes, which were always frivolous and uplifted on weekdays, seldom drooped down.He pushed open the door and pulled Gu Zhizhou into the room.

There was no light in the room, and it was pitch black.

Fu Ziqiu cut to the chase: "What do you want to do?"

Gu Zhizhou was asked inexplicably: "What did I do?"

Fu Ziqiu grabbed the air, and the door closed with a sound.

Turning around, Gu Zhizhou was pressed against the wall, pressed, and bound by him, not knowing what to do, at a loss.

"What are you doing?" Gu Zhizhou struggled, but his hand clenched even tighter: "Fu Ziqiu! You are crazy, let me go!"

"Let me tell you." In the darkness, Fu Ziqiu's voice was deep and hoarse, but it seemed to be covered with frost: "There are orders from the heavens, gods must not change the fate of mortals, and must not intervene in disputes between mortals. Especially the royal family!"

Gu Zhizhou's heart tightened.

Fu Ziqiu paused and said, "Don't even think about it!"

Gu Zhizhou was flustered for a while, being punctured and seen through.He became angry with embarrassment, his teeth itching with hatred, he tried hard to push away the man's restraint, but was pressed even harder: "What am I thinking! Stop talking nonsense!"

Fu Ziqiu sneered, and his cold breath brushed Gu Zhizhou's face: "I can tell what you're thinking just by looking at you."

"Don't fart!"

Since their reunion, the two have argued, quarreled, fought, and also calmed down.

Keep the appearance of peace, hide the little understanding in your heart, don't tell the truth when you see it through, and don't answer if you say it, and block it with a few ugly words.No one has forgotten what lies between them, the difference between the demons is an excuse, an excuse for never getting in touch with each other.

What stands in front of them is the mistakes and parting ways of 100 years ago.It is the betrayal of the teacher and the abandonment of each other.

They tacitly avoided talking about the past, for fear that if one inadvertently opened the old wound, they would find that no one would be quick.But things are different, who can go back to the past?

But now, Fu Ziqiu couldn't help it, and explained that unreasonable understanding.Gu Zhizhou panicked, he was afraid that the water would be hard to recover, and he was even more afraid that he would sink into deep water.

Fu Ziqiu paused, and whispered in Gu Zhizhou's one-sided exasperation: "It is imperative to rehabilitate Qin Zhong, but helping Chen Puyu ascend the throne is superfluous."

Gu Zhizhou laughed back angrily, and didn't move: "Oh? The emperor Chen Kuang is fatuous, killing loyal officials and alienating his parents and children. The eighth prince, Chen Liangyu, was scheming and did everything he could. The crown prince was sick and incompetent, half of his body was buried in the ground. The morals of the world After years of hardships and dangers, I dare to ask, shouldn’t the world choose a wise king?”

Fu Ziqiu gritted his teeth and said, "No matter how difficult the world is, it's not your turn to take care of it!"

"I want to take care of it." Gu Zhizhou said: "I almost forgot again, Lord Mozun's blood is cold. It's okay to just say it like this. Between you and me, how much friendship is lost on Broken Sword Cliff."

"Gu Zhizhou!"

"In the past 100 years, if you didn't come to me, I never saw you. If it weren't for this coincidence, I'm afraid I would never see you again in this life. So for me, a farewell to Broken Sword Cliff is a farewell. Can't fault me."

In the darkness, Fu Ziqiu's phoenix eyes filled with anger cooled down little by little, he calmed down, and then wrapped in fine pieces of ice.He seemed to be frustrated, and then smiled like self-deprecating: "You are right."

He let go of his hand, took a step back, and closed his eyes severely: "Your business really has nothing to do with me."

After speaking, he suddenly disappeared in place.

·

In the early morning of the next day, several people gathered together for breakfast.

Chen Puyu changed his royal prince's brocade clothes, and put on ordinary people's sackcloth.Qi Wu changed a beard and put it on him. The handsome and unrestrained prince turned into a down-and-out and vulgar peasant uncle in the blink of an eye.

Gu Zhizhou was holding a piece of scallion pancake, he couldn't see it.

Chen Puyu didn't care much, he stroked his beard and said with a smile, "How many gods are you?"

Qi Wu smiled: "The little officials in the sky are not as good as you princes."

"Being a prince is not a good thing." Chen Puyu shrugged: "You have to face the treacherous royal family when you are just born, and you will be a tool for other people's power struggles and a bargaining chip for favor. Countless people want your life and see you fall from the altar .It is not easy for those who can survive, how many are clean. The father has eight sons under his knees, look, how many are left?"

Qi Wu opened his mouth, he was born as a military general, and he is clear about the dirty methods of the royal family.Don't look at his sturdy appearance, he looks careless, what should be understood is absolutely unequivocal.He used to gallop on the battlefield, and later lived in the court for a while, but he couldn't get used to it, so he just let him go back to his battlefield, happy and at ease.

Xu Shi's days after his ascension were too comfortable, and after a long time, he forgot his former military career.

Gu Zhizhou took a sip of porridge and asked, "It's not good to be a prince, what about an emperor? Do you want to be an emperor?"

"Isn't it too fake to say that you don't want to?" Chen Puyu smiled deeper, but her tone was not salty: "You asked me five years ago, and I will tell you, I think, really want, really want But after going through so much, I watched so many people rush into the vortex of power regardless of their own safety, and their heads were broken and bloody, and their faces were completely changed." The light in his eyes dimmed, and his voice gradually lowered: "I'm afraid that I will also die. Becoming like that, sensitive, suspicious, no one can believe it, has the supreme power, but enjoys the boundless loneliness."

Chen Puyu breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "To this day, I can only say that I am willing to be the emperor, and I am willing to dedicate myself to this country, like a teacher, not like my father. Of course, what should be mine is mine." ,Not force."

Gu Zhizhou nodded.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy, and for a long while, no one spoke.

Qi Wu bit off half of a marinated egg, and asked, "Is that person still up? Don't you want breakfast?"

Gu Zhizhou's face darkened, and he didn't choke or speak.

Qi Wu figured out something from Gu Zhizhou's strange expression and abnormal silence, and shrugged helplessly at Chen Puyu.

Gu Zhizhou was eating cakes by himself, thinking about Fu Ziqiu.

Last night, it could be said that they broke up on bad terms. They inexplicably tore apart the hard-to-maintain peace, and found that no one had healed this heart disease.Sure enough, under the seemingly calm sea, there are hidden reefs everywhere, and you may capsize immediately if you hit something.

He was very annoyed, but still couldn't hold back a harsh sentence: "What to eat, do dead people need to eat?"

Chen Puyu raised his head with great interest: "Why, that tall man is also a ghost?"

"He's not," Qi Wu said, "He's the head ghost."

"Oh?" Chen Puyu was in awe: "Is he Lord Yan?"

Qi Wu shook his head: "Yan Wangye has to listen to him."

"Well... so powerful." Chen Puyu nodded, seeming to understand a little bit.

Gu Zhizhou sneered at the right time, and said indiscriminately: "He is not the Lord of the Underworld, he is much more unlucky than the Lord of the Underworld."

When Fu Ziqiu came over, he heard this sentence. A few steps away, he stopped and looked at Gu Zhizhou's back.

Just like in his memory, broad shoulders and narrow waist, graceful lines, long and straight spine, like a bamboo joint, would rather break than bow his head.

They have been apart for too long.

When others reunite after a long absence, they often sigh "things are different".To them, it is already "things are neither people nor people".

After so many years, Gu Zhizhou hasn't changed.

What changed was him, cold, dirty, with a stench that couldn't be washed off.

As that person said, bad luck.

"Yes, I heard everything." Qi Wu caught sight of Fu Ziqiu, gloatingly reminded: "They say not to speak ill of people behind their backs, Mr. Nexus, please remember."

Preserving his safety, he moved closer to Chen Puyu's side, fearing that these two people would accidentally hurt him by fighting.

Who knew that he was completely superfluous.

Gu Zhizhou's back stiffened, and he did not look back with a cold face.

Fu Ziqiu calmed down, came over and sat down, took the buns and started eating without saying a word, pretending he didn't hear.

Facts have proved that dead people also have to eat, and the development of things has never been according to Qi Wu's imagination.

It's just that the atmosphere is inexplicably more weird.

·

The sixth prince's bedroom was haunted by ghosts, and the palace servants died strangely. Chen Puyu's whereabouts were unknown, and he might have been murdered.

The news quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Yudu.

Many people miss this Sixth Prince who became famous at a young age and was lonely in his youth, and they feel regretful in their mouths.Some people thought of the Taifu Qin who was sentenced to behead many years ago, and sighed that the two masters and apprentices lived at the wrong time, and they were reincarnated as soon as possible, and they would not be reborn in the royal family in the next life.

The palace ordered the whole city to search for Chen Puyu's whereabouts, and finally found his body in a ditch in the outskirts.

Soon, white silk was hung on the street. Although the old emperor had been estranged from Chen Puyu for many years, it was heartbreaking for a white-haired man to send a black-haired man.Or maybe there was a slight debt in his heart, and he ordered someone to arrange Chen Puyu's funeral according to the prince's regulations, and let him go in a good way.

Chen Puyu looked at Yicheng Susu calmly, with a little coldness in his eyes: "Death is like a lamp going out, and no matter how grand it is, it is for the living to see. This honor after death is not as good as a word of remembrance from the mouths of the people. "

Fu Ziqiu patted him on the shoulder as a consolation: "Now the whole palace is busy with your funeral. According to the identities of Li Gu and Chen Liangyu, they must be by Chen Kuang's side. At this time, it is best to go to them to find the account book." Great timing."

Chen Puyu nodded, gratefully said: "Thank you for causing trouble to everyone."

Stealing into other people's house is not a pleasant thing, so Gu Zhizhou didn't even look at Fu Ziqiu, and directly ordered Qi Wu: "You come with me."

Qi Wu is naturally willing.

Fu Ziqiu stared back at the two of them, then turned and left.

·

Gu Zhizhou and Qi Wu landed on the roof of the prime minister's mansion, lying down, condescendingly observing the movement below.

The prime minister's mansion is not particularly big, and it is well-regulated. It makes people feel that although Li Gu is in a high position, he is clean and upright.

The inner room is also behind a garden pond, connected by a wooden bridge, and the elegant and chic room at the end is probably Li Gu's bedroom.The long corridor on the right is connected to a corner door, and through it is a gazebo, surrounded by light gauze, inside which there is a game of chess and a piano, presumably for entertainment.

The room at the back looked ordinary, but there were two servants guarding the door.

Gu Zhizhou narrowed his eyes slightly, and caught a glimpse of the hook pinned to the servant's waist.

Lingji is the sword gate of Immortal Dao, and there is a sword casting workshop under it.In the Three Realms, most swords and weapons come from here.As the sword master of the heavens, Gu Zhizhou is very familiar with the weapons in Jianmen. Just by looking at the pattern, he can directly tell the name, material, source, and pros and cons of the weapon.

There is nothing special about the weapon itself, and there are many people who use it.But Gu Zhizhou clearly saw that the hooks on the two servants had barbs on the inside. If he read it correctly, the hooks were called thorn hooks. When thrown out, not only the hooks would rotate, but the thorns would also protrude, and they were very powerful. .Once the target is locked, it will immediately open its minions, and the moment it touches the target, the hook will pierce into the flesh, directly peeling off a layer of skin.

My own house is so guarded by teachers and mobs, there are probably some ulterior secrets in this room.

Right now, the entire imperial court is busy with Chen Puyu's funeral, Chen Kuang is dying, Li Gu, as the prime minister, naturally has to help preside over the overall situation, the entire prime minister's mansion, except for that room, is full of maids doing some sweeping, most of the manpower is presumably Follow Li Gu into the palace.

Gu Zhizhou gave Qi Wu a wink, the latter understood, jumped to the roof of Li Gu's bedroom, lifted a piece of black tiles and looked down, made sure no one was there, and then slipped in.

Li Gu's bedroom is simple and clean.Qi Wu rummaged for a long time, but found nothing useful, so he went out the same way.

Gu Zhizhou quietly came to the hut behind the gazebo, and when he got to the roof, he found that there were two guards standing behind and on both sides of the room.

so suspicious.

He repeated the same trick, slipped in from the roof, floated to the ground and looked around.

The walls are full of books, and there is a long table in the center of the room, with white paper neatly laid out on the table, and a finely crafted pen holder.Next to it is a small couch, behind the couch is separated by a thick sandalwood carved dragon screen, and behind the screen is a wall, leaving a narrow one.Opposite the couch is a tea seat for guests, with a set of simple tea sets on it.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a study room. With so many people guarding such a room, there must be something tricky inside.

Gu Zhizhou rummaged quickly. The guards at the door looked very skillful. If they used a soundproof spell at such a close distance, they would definitely be noticed. Gu Zhizhou's movements were very light, and he pinched his fingertips when turning the pages of the book.

He stood by the bookshelf for a long time, looking for mechanisms and gaps, but found nothing.

He moved to the table again, and carefully opened the drawer. Li Gu has a good habit. He puts things neatly and organizes them well. He can basically look through things at a glance. There is really nothing suspicious.

Gu Zhizhou almost turned Li Gu's study upside down, except for the conclusion that this person might be a clean freak, he didn't even see a single hair.

It shouldn't be, there is really nothing, why are there so many people outside to watch?

Gu Zhizhou leaned against the screen in a daze, and then took a closer look at the whole room.

At this time, someone suddenly spoke at the door.It should be one of the servants, his voice was extremely low, it was the subconsciousness of many years of martial arts practice, and it was covered with internal strength, so Gu Zhizhou couldn't hear clearly.

Just as he was wondering, Qi Wu suddenly fell from the roof and said silently: "They are going to come in."

The two reacted quickly and jumped onto the beam together. The next moment, the door was pushed open.
