The Secret of the Reborn Shadowguard

"I found the person I was looking for, of course I want to come back." Xiao Zheyan didn't give Jiu Shu a single look, and stared at Gu Yan without blinking.

Uncle Jiu was about to say something else, when Xiao Zheyan said to him coldly again: "Hold your boat."

Uncle Jiu didn't say a word when she choked, his face flushed, he gave her a hard look, took a deep breath, and poked the penny into the water to let the bamboo raft continue to move forward.

Gu Yan on the other side was very uncomfortable being stared at by Xiao Zheyan, he cupped his hands and asked, "Senior, do you know me?"

Gu Yan asked like this, but he was extremely puzzled in his heart. The woman in front of him named Xiao Zheyan was about 40 years old, wearing a black jacket and corseting her body, her long hair was neatly tied up, and she was carrying a long bag on her back. In the bag, there is probably a precious knife in it. Although it is not very handsome, it can be called heroic.

If he had seen such a strange woman, he would have been very impressed, but Gu Yan can be sure that he has no impression of the woman in front of him.

Xiao Zheyan didn't answer, and looked at Gu Yan from head to toe, as if he was looking at some goods, Gu Yan's scalp tightened.

Just as Gu Yan was about to ask again, he suddenly felt trembling all over his body, frowned, and turned his head to look behind him.But Su Jinyan, who was originally standing by his side, shrank behind him at some point, his hands were tightly pinching his cuffs, the trembling of his body was not affected by him.

"Brother Su, what's wrong with you? But you know this senior?" Gu Yan pulled his cuff out of Su Jinyan's hand, tried a few times but failed, so he simply let him go.

"I know... I know." Su Jinyan stammered, and suddenly saw Xiao Zheyan squinting at him slightly, and then his head shook like a rattle drum, "No, I don't know... "

Gu Yan glanced at Su Jinyan suspiciously, knowing that he must know who this woman is, but he couldn't tell for some reason, so he no longer made things difficult for him.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the bamboo raft was extremely awkward, until Xiao Zheyan's clear voice mixed with surprise sounded again: "Dive into the abyss?!"

Gu Yan was surprised, looked at the treasured Qianyuan saber hanging side by side with Hanzhang sword at his waist, and looked up at Xiao Zheyan, "Senior, do you know the origin of this saber?"

This Qianyuan was found when he dived into the hot spring not long ago. He found this Qianyuan because he hoped that Qianyuan would return to Yingying's hand, and he also hoped that Yingying could see it for this knife. Come on, forgive him a thing or two.

"This is your weapon?" Xiao Zheyan asked suspiciously. A person's temperament is also very related to a person's weapon. As a swordsman, she clearly felt that the man in front of her was not a real swordsman. man of.

"No." Gu Yan shook his head, rubbed his fingers against Qian Yuan's handle, and there was a layer of tenderness in his eyes, "This is the weapon of my beloved."

"The one you love?" Xiao Zheyan was startled for a moment, and then he sneered as if he suddenly realized, "What kind of love?"

As soon as Gu Yan raised his head, he bumped into a pair of pitch-black eyes, which were very similar to the pair of extreme black eyes of Devouring Shadow, but these were not even half warm, which made Gu Yan feel a biting chill in his heart, and he couldn't help but answer quickly. To: "Life is the same quilt, death is the same coffin."

Gu Yan's voice carried a bit of anxiety that he himself hadn't noticed, but it was resonant and firm.

Xiao Zheyan's eyes flickered, and then he looked at Gu Yan mockingly, "If that's the case, why isn't he by your side now? Could it be that your so-called life and death are just a joke? !"

Hearing what Xiao Zheyan said, Gu Yan covered his suddenly painful chest and shook his head, "In my whole life, the only thing I said before is that I don't want to see him is a joke, I have already accepted that joke After the pain that followed, now I just want to take back that joke in front of him and regain the right to live and die with him."

Seeing his appearance, Xiao Zheyan lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked in a slightly gentle tone, "Do you want to see him?"

Gu Yan raised his head abruptly, and looked straight at Xiao Zheyan to judge the truth of her words. After a while, Gu Yan stepped forward and bowed deeply to her, "I wish you success, senior."

Xiao Zheyan accepted his bow without avoiding it, and asked: "If the price of seeing him is your life, what will you do?"

Gu Yan was taken aback for a moment, he didn't understand why she asked such a question, but he still replied firmly: "I would."

Xiao Zheyan nodded, and asked again: "What if the price of seeing him is his life?"

"I..." Gu Yan opened his mouth, then tightened his fist, took a deep breath, "I will leave."

"Remember what you said today." Xiao Zheyan was about to walk away, looking at the river bank he didn't want to be at, when he suddenly asked a confusing question, "Did you smell something in the woods just now?" ?”

A layer of hesitation appeared in Gu Yan's eyes, as if he didn't want to recall that taste again, so he opened his mouth and said: "Bitter taste."

"How bitter is it?" Xiao Zheyan asked again, relentlessly chasing after him.

"I don't know." Gu Yan shook his head, and then there was a trace of fragility in his eyes, "I can't describe the pain." It's so bitter that I don't want to experience it anymore, and I can't remember it anymore.

Sensing the truth in Gu Yan's eyes, Xiao Zheyan's stern eyes took on a little gentleness, nodded, and stepped on the bamboo raft to fly ashore.

The bamboo raft shook violently again, and the splashed water wet Gu Yan's eyelashes, leaving it with a thin layer of dampness.

Uncle Nine, who was supporting the bamboo raft, seemed to be familiar with Xiao Zheyan's behavior. He glanced at her back angrily, and shouted at Xiao Zheyan on the shore: "Xiao Zheyan, every time you don't What else would you do if it would make the juniors unhappy?"

Hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Xiao Zheyan paused for a moment, turned his head to take a deep look at Uncle Jiu, and said, "Ye Jiu, that's more unhappy than you making us unhappy It's much better." After saying that, she didn't stay where she was, and disappeared into the entrance of the cave not far away without looking back.

When Ye Jiu heard her words, her breath became stagnant, and the penny in her hand almost fell into the water.Then he docked the bamboo raft on the shore, watched Gu Yan and Su Jinyan go ashore without saying a word, then propped up the bamboo pole, and moved away from the shore,

"Uncle Jiu, are you leaving now?" Su Jinyan looked at Uncle Jiu who suddenly became silent and asked suspiciously.In the past, he was always waiting here for him, and every time he could receive the self who was kicked out by the Mengyin clan almost without waiting too much time.

Ye Jiu, who had propped the bamboo raft some distance away from the shore, froze, then turned around, blew on his beard, stared at his eyes, and asked in surprise: "What? Could it be that you still let me stay here for the rest of my life?" You collect the corpse?"

When she raised her head and met Shang Su Jinyan's caring eyes, Ye Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, since Xiao Zheyan didn't embarrass you, naturally you are pleasing to my eyes, even if she doesn't protect you , and will not let the tribe do anything to you. If you are really driven back, just call me from the shore."

After that, Ye Jiu slid the bamboo raft a little further into the river, picked a random place on the bamboo raft and lay down, took out the wine jug that was not on his waist, and poured it into his mouth again.The bamboo raft followed the flowing water all the way to the east, and Ye Jiu let it float on the bamboo raft to the distance.

"This Uncle Jiu is a wonderful person." Gu Yan looked at the bamboo raft and the figure on it who were gradually heading east, and suddenly opened his mouth and whispered softly: "Ye Jiu, Ye Jiu, why do I feel that this name is familiar?"

Su Jinyan withdrew her gaze and chuckled, "Jiu Junzi, Ye Jiu, aren't you familiar?"

Gu Yan suddenly turned his head to look at Su Jinyan, and asked in disbelief: "You're talking about the Nine Gentlemen, Ye Jiu, in Jianghu 20 years ago?"

Su Jinyan nodded, and there was a hint of playfulness hidden in Danfeng's eyes, "Exactly, I also inadvertently learned his identity from the news of my ant building. , you and I don’t know where to play with our bare feet.”

"How did he become like this?" Gu Yan looked at the bamboo raft drifting away in the water again, still not believing that Uncle Nine was the Nine Gentlemen 20 years ago.

According to rumors in the Jianghu, the reason why Ye Jiu was called the Nine Gentlemen was because he was quite gentle and elegant, his martial arts were unpredictable but he was upright, and he was very gentlemanly.In the end, I don't know why he suddenly disappeared in the Jianghu, but even now, his name is still well known in the Jianghu.

Su Jinyan shook his head, and slowly took a few steps back, "Who knows, it's really strange to abandon the willful and happy life in the rivers and lakes, and be willing to commit yourself to being a ferryman in this tiny place of the Mengyin clan. The rumored Ye Jiu has never drunk a drop of alcohol." While speaking, he glanced at Gu Yan secretly, seeing that his eyes were not on her, he moved slowly towards the entrance of the cave.

The look of doubt in Gu Yan's eyes became more intense, and suddenly he heard rustling sounds behind him, turned around and saw Su Jinyan who was walking forward at a cat's pace.Gu Yan stretched out his hand and quickly grabbed Su Jinyan's back, and asked curiously: "I almost forgot to ask you, just now you seem to know that senior Xiao Zheyan, who is she?"

Su Jinyan was dragged back a few steps, and said with a wry smile: "I don't want to know each other, but whether I should know her now or not depends on her face, brother Gu." Then he begged for mercy: " Brother Gu, don't ask me, you will naturally know her identity when you go to the Mengyin Clan, and now I can only say that I would rather offend Xiao Li than offend her."

Gu Yan clicked the words in his mouth, and then let go of his clothes, no longer embarrassing him.No matter who she is, what she wants to do to him, it's up to her.

Aying, wait for me.Gu Yan murmured softly in his heart, and walked towards the cave in front of him.

Su Jinyan felt that her back was loosened, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and patted her chest with lingering fear.He almost said just now that he would provide Gu Yan with all the information for free in the future, it's okay, it's okay.
