talk all night

Another long and rainy June.

The rain hit the plantains, and the sound of frogs croaking by the shallow pond outside the window was blocked by the small window along with the cool night air.There was silence in the room, and the fire was bright.

The black-clothed young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes sat in front of the desk, carefully turned on the candle, and read the letter he had just received by candlelight.

In the past few years, the figure of the young man has grown like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and has grown rapidly at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye.

Luo Junyu followed Gu Linxuan away from the Gu family mansion three years ago, went to another small town to find a small courtyard to live in, and finally left the messy place of the Gu family.

Not a year after Gu Zishu got married, he took over the family power from his grandfather and became the new head of the Gu family, taking charge of the Gu family under the supervision of the clan elders.He didn't like Gu Linxuan early on, when Gu Linxuan proposed to him the intention to go out to practice, he immediately agreed to him.

Gu Linxuan left Gu's house to find another residence, and he brought only Jiang Bo, an old man who cleaned, with him. Seeing this opportunity, Luo Junyu immediately stepped forward, regardless of his own face and the faces of others, and explained all the sufferings of being bullied in Gu's house all these years, with a shy face Begging to take them away, finally got Gu Linxuan to agree to leave there together.

Gu Linxuan didn't say that he wanted to bring Luo Junyu with him, but it was interesting to see how he put on an air and put on a sad face, so he watched his entire performance and was happy to see the faces of the people next to him turning blue.

After spending so much time with him, he also knew that his cousin looked honest, and his performance in front of the Gu family on weekdays was unimaginable to him. Compared with him, he was much smarter in dealing with people.For those who can't afford to be offended by the domineering, they will be submissive and keep their expressions, and have various friendships with subordinates, also known as brothers, without caring about their own identities.What's more, he has never really exposed his strength in front of the Gu family. Every time he goes out to do errands, he always leaves room to hide his strength and bide his time, trying to portray himself as a mediocre and sophisticated person in the eyes of others.However, such a person who knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and is well versed in the way of doing things, will mess around in front of Gu's family and pretend to complain in order to escape from Gu's family. I really have to take a good look.

The two brothers moved out of the mansion, and the exchange condition that Gu Zishu set for the two was to accept a family task every three months, and they could not refuse no matter what.Of course, even if he had never left the Gu family, Gu Linxuan couldn't refuse the old man's fate.Because Luo Junyu has been acting in a low-key manner these days and has never shown his full strength, so far the Gu family has not taken him seriously, they only regard him as Gu Linxuan's usual and convenient servant, and the requirements they set are only for Gu Linxuan, he felt relaxed instead.

The desk candle flickered, and the room was so quiet that a needle could be heard.Reflecting his gloomy expression in the light of the fire, Luo Junyu rubbed the letter paper carefully, carefully reading the small words "I will return to the south soon, don't read it. Brother stay" over and over again.

It was written by Gu Linxuan to him, and it recorded who he met, what scenery he saw, and what anecdotes and strange stories he learned these days.Although it is a plain and simple narration, it took three big sheets of paper to fill it up, which shows that the person who wrote it put his heart into it.

Gu Zishu asked his servants to send missions from time to time, most of them were dangerous, difficult or impossible for others to complete, and the places to go were mostly dangerous and evil places in the world, poor mountains and rivers, abysses and precipices, If you are not careful, you will be in danger of life.Gu Linxuan was worried about him, so he made an agreement with him at first, out of the four missions a year, he was only allowed to go with him twice, and he would complete the other two missions alone.And if he thinks that the next action will be dangerous, he must obey his order and not force him to stay.

Luo Junyu knew that the other party was doing it for his own good, and he also felt that according to the other party's ability, it would be more convenient for him to hold back some things. In addition, he was always unable to disobey any request of the other party, so he agreed without thinking too much Gu Linxuan's request.

As a result, I tasted regret.

Although the contents of the letter are all straightforward and straightforward, even as boring as Gu Linxuan, but looking at each word in the letter and silently understanding the mood of that person when he wrote these words, Luo Jun Yu only wished that he could not stay by the other party's side, that he could not climb the cliff with him to enjoy the scenery of mountains and rivers, and that he could not stand by his side to protect him when he was in danger.

Some thoughts may have taken root in the bottom of my heart early on, and during this difficult parting, I finally peeled off the superficially calm whitewashing camouflage, highlighted it without any cover, and put everything in front of him.He knew that he was wrong, on the one hand he hated himself extremely, and while enjoying the other party's consistent care, he would have such a bad idea, so inferior, disgusting, shameless, disregarding ethics, on the other hand, he really couldn't control his own thoughts , Every night when I sit up in a dream, I am dripping with cold sweat and wheezing.

I don't know when, something got into the blood, into the flesh, and penetrated deep into the bone marrow, no matter how hard it was to get rid of, it made him give up on himself and be content with it.

Luo Junyu firmly restrained that unknown thought, carefully folded the letter paper and stuffed it back into the envelope, and put it in a locked carved box, lying with the other six letters inside.In addition to the letter, there are also some miscellaneous little things such as rattles, facial masks, pipe flutes, and strange novels, all of which were bought by Gu Linxuan in his spare time.He locked the box and took the trouble to put a seal on it, and put it back where it was.

From the street outside, there was the sound of clappers being beaten, and it came in through the fence.The watchman was walking in the rain in his coir raincoat, thinking that he would finish the last watch soon so that he could go home, rest and sleep well.

The candles in the house finally flickered out.

The time it takes for Gu Linxuan to go out varies, depending on the location and difficulty of the task, it can take as little as ten days or as long as a month or two.During this period of time, he basically wouldn't contact Luo Junyu. In the last few days when the incident was approaching, he would remember the other party's advice before he left, and send a letter to Luo Junyu as soon as possible.

This letter will record all kinds of experiences during this trip, and the letter paper will directly turn into a spirit bird and fly, no matter how far away it is, it can reach Luo Junyu's hands overnight.

Luo Junyu counted the days, five days have passed since he got this letter, he counted that the man should come back in about two days, so he ordered Uncle Jiang to clean his room and remove the bedding Basking in the sun, just waiting for the other party to come back.

As a result, it was another five days, and no one expected it, but another letter came.

The spirit bird lightly fell into his palm and returned to the original shape of the envelope. He opened the letter anxiously, and read the contents at a glance.Putting down the letter paper, he frowned unhappily.

Gu Linxuan said in the letter that he would go to the extreme north with Yuanheng and would come back later.Yuan Heng said that there was a twelve-petal cold jade luminous lotus in the wolf clan in the snowy north, and Gu Linxuan wanted to use Yuan Heng's face to ask the snow wolf clan for a piece of it, so as to cure him of the poisonous fire he had previously suffered.On the other hand, Gu Linxuan was really curious about the extremely cold northern land that was covered with ice and snow all the year round and had countless legends of secret realms. Since someone was leading the way, he would not seize the opportunity to visit it.

Luo Junyu's body was injured by fire and poison when he followed Gu Linxuan to the crater to get blood ginseng for the first time. Because he accidentally touched the mechanism and awakened the sacred beast Huofeng phantom guarding the treasure, the two of them got blood. After running for hundreds of miles, Xu Ying exhausted his energy, and he was injured by the poisonous flames emitted by the fire phoenix.Although Hou Gu Linxuan also tried his best to treat and recuperate him, but he couldn't eradicate it, and he would have an attack from time to time.Luo Junyu knew that although Gu Linxuan didn't say anything, he blamed himself for this matter in his heart, and every time he went out, he would always pay attention to whether there was something to restrain the poisonous fire.

Han Yulian is indeed an innate treasure that can completely eradicate the poisonous fire, but if that person is asked to go to the territory of the Xuelang clan at the risk of his own life to obtain something that is obviously the treasure of the other clan, Luo Junyu can't rest assured.He looked at the strange name that appeared in the two consecutive letters, Yuan Heng, he had heard of this name before, the Lord of Beiyuan, a snow wolf, with advanced cultivation, it is said that he has the ability to call wind and rain.He has never believed in the sinister, treacherous and vicious people of the Yaozu, who knows if they will have any plans to lure Linxuan to harm them.

He immediately wrote a letter, telling Gu Linxuan that his poisonous injury didn't matter at all, and told him not to go deep into the hinterland of the demon clan and put himself in danger because of Han Yulian.He also stated his concerns directly, and reminded Gu Linxuan not to trust the Yaozu too much, and he must be on guard. He was not at all afraid that this letter would be seen by his colleague Yuan Heng.

Of course, he also knew that Gu Linxuan would probably just laugh at his reminder, and the idea of ​​going to the Northland would not be dispelled by a few words from him, so he ignored the previous agreement between the two, and immediately packed up the talisman magic weapon and put After arranging some things under his command, he will go to find him.

However, before he left, the fortune teller in the clan suddenly sent a maid to look for him.

The reason why the Gu family has flourished in recent years and has gradually become one of the leading families in the cultivation world is that the previous generation of patriarchs are well versed in business operations, and on the basis of rigorous training of the clan's children, they know how to make friends with various families in the world with limited strength. Seeking help, the existence of this fortune teller is also indisputable.

Fortune-telling woman, you can know that this woman has the ability to spy on God's will and predict bad luck by looking at the word business.

Gu Wuyan, the youngest daughter of Gu Jingxiao, the third son of the Gu family, was born with a red spot on her right eyebrow covering half of her face, her appearance was frightening.When Gu Jingxiao saw it, his face was expressionless, and he named her Wuyan, and ignored his wife who was still weak on the bed, and walked away directly.

Gu Wuyan has received strange looks since she was born, and disgust and bullying are commonplace.Gu Jingxiao originally had many children, and Gu Chen was just the most common of his wives and concubines. Now that Gu Wuyan was born with an ugly appearance and ordinary bones, he was useful to him, so the mother and daughter were sent to a remote courtyard , I found an old woman to serve.

He is an unpopular person, and he should have wasted his life in mediocrity, but this is not the case.On a thunderstorm night, Gu Wuyan, who was not ready yet, insisted on crying and asked her mother to sleep in the same room with her. Gu Chen couldn't bear her daughter's distress, so she agreed, but there was a loud noise in the night, and her bedroom was covered by those in the yard. The hundreds-year-old ginkgo overwhelmed her, and the thick trunk of three or five people just hit her bed, and the shape was terrifying.Later, one day, Gu Wuyan asked the old woman who was serving her to wait in front of the silk and satin factory in the east of the city, and found her son who had been separated from her for many years and is now a wealthy businessman.

So many times, she finally revealed her secret.One divination and one divination, to determine cause and effect, to know misfortune and good fortune, to know the past, present and future, has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth.Although her ability was limited to a certain extent, it shocked the cultivation world at that time, and she was immediately taken back to the original family by the Gu family to protect her, driven by the family.

After looking back at home, Gu Wuyan first settled down with her mother, and then invited her to enter the ancestral hall to serve her for life, saying that she was grateful for the blessings of the gods and ancestors.Since then, she has stayed in the Gu family without taking a step, specializing in predicting bad luck for the family and its allies, helping the Gu family eliminate disasters and avoid disasters, and was regarded as the goddess of fate by the Gu family.

The Gu family relied on her divination ability to exchange many conveniences with other families.The more families who asked her about their fortunes, fortunes, fortunes, and fortunes, the more accurate and astonishing it was that she answered every divination, and the reputation of the Goddess of Gu's fortune-telling gradually became known to everyone.

Luo Junyu has nothing to do with this person, and now the other party has specially sent a maid to invite him. Although he doesn't know the reason, he has to go there.
