Zha Gong's evolutionary path

Words of threats and even malicious curses fell between the two of them, like a light and fluttering feather, the tip of the tail brushed against the tall fox's nose, causing a slight discomfort itching.

The eyes under the mask flickered slightly.

Lin Gongru put his arms around his chest, watching the other party's reaction with great interest.

With a rough and low voice, the shadow guard said slowly: "The shoulder injury on the young master's body was caused by the master forcing you to practice swords first."

Shoulder injury?

Subconsciously, Lin Gong followed the gaze cast by the shadow guard and looked over his right shoulder. He seemed to smell the sweet scent of burnt flesh again at the end of his nose, and felt sick from the bottom of his heart.

Just like Xin Wu gave him "Returning to Life" and "Turning Dreams", and brought his invulnerable physique to another life; the scar on his right shoulder that Chang Sun Jie had branded in a private prison was also brought to this life.Not long after Lin Gongru woke up, she noticed that the ointment had been carefully applied to her right shoulder, and the bandage had been changed again.There was no one else in the stone house, presumably it was the shadow guard who did it.

Lin Gongruxin said that people with cruel thoughts can be encountered in any life, and this "young master"'s cheap father is actually a guy who has nothing to do to burn things on his son in his spare time.

He heard the voice say again slowly: "This subordinate is the young master's shadow guard, and he will never leave him forever."

Lin Gongru's reaction was half a beat slow, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. What he said about the shoulder injury just now answered his first question "Why do you think he is the young master"; and this sentence "Life and death are inseparable", It is to answer his warnings of "the lone star of the gods" and "death by accident".

Lin Gongru choked for a while after recovering, and was speechless for a while.

He is confident in admitting the wrong person, what else can he say?

Judging from the communication just now, I always feel that this shadow guard's brain is not working well, and he has recognized the truth, no matter how others express their opinions, it is quite difficult to talk to him.

Maybe the "former master" just watched this guy go to the bottom of his horn and left him in this stone house to fend for himself.

With a glimmer of hope in the end, Lin Gongru asked, "Does your young master look the same as me?"

The shadow guard fell into the slow and sticky hesitation like mud again.While waiting for his answer, Lin Gongru tossed and recited the meditation mantra silently three times in his heart.

After so many vicissitudes, I waited until this old man opened his golden mouth.

The shadow guard seemed to be unsure of himself, and said slowly: "...Young Master's mask... I have given it to my subordinates."

In the blink of an eye, Lin Gongru finally figured out why he got the wrong person—the "young master" who dared to love, never showed his true face in front of him, and when he appeared, he wore this ridiculous fox mask on his face; The young master has a similar body shape, maybe a similar voice, and there is also a brand mark on the right shoulder that God knows how it fell.

The young master went somewhere, maybe when the shadow guard woke up, he found that there was no one else in the closed space except himself and Lin Gongru, so he recognized him as his young master logically.

The whole thing was wrong, like a joke that can't be washed away even if you jump into the Yellow River.

Lin Gongru sighed, felt the heat of the sun on his forehead recede, and moved his body.This time the stone bench didn't move any more, he leaned himself in front of the shadow guard safely and soundly.

The man covered in jet black silently stared at his fingers tapping on the stone table.

"This mask of yours was given to you by me?"

The shadow guard stared at his fingertips with calm eyes and a calm tone: "Young Master's gift, Gu Jian will never forget it."

Lin Gongru sat for most of the morning, and had trouble communicating with the only living creature that could pant. Now he just wanted to tease him to vent his anger.

"Then what am I going to take back now?"

He was posturing.

The shadow guard named Gu Jian hesitated for a moment, and did not dodge like last time. He clearly felt that Lin Gongru's fingertips had touched the back of his ear, but he remained motionless, as if rooted.

Lin Gongru was honest and blunt, and took off his eccentric fox mask.

What appeared in front of him was a plain face.I don't know if it's because of shrinking in the shadows for many years without seeing the sun, his face is extremely pale, almost like malnutrition.

He looked a little older than Lin Gongru, about thirty, his eyebrows were very light, his nose was fairly straight, and his thin lips were pursed uneasily.The whole face is featureless, the only thing worth seeing is the pair of drooping eyes, beautiful in shape, gentle and calm eyes covered by shallow eyelashes, there is a strange sense of peace that does not easily panic when a mountain collapses.

It's not ugly, but it's far from being a beauty.

Lin Gongru thought he could see a pleasing face, but he was somewhat disappointed.

He is used to being with beauties, be it Ye Mingjue or Xin Wu, even his eldest grandson, he has an unforgettable handsome appearance.With ordinary looks like Gu Jian's, if you meet a lot of them on the street, even if Lin Gongru passes by each other ten or a hundred times, it's impossible for you to remember them.

He was playing with the fox mask, and suddenly thought maliciously, he seemed to understand why the young master gave the mask to the shadow guard.

Gu Jian kept his eyes down, as if he didn't dare to look directly at Lin Gongru.He also saw the fox mask that Lin Gongru was playing with boringly, and said: "Young master, please return the mask to your subordinates..."

As soon as Lin Gongru raised his hand, the mask flew out and landed in the flower garden three feet away.Said: "No."

He waited for the shadow guard to rush over to pick it up, but Gu Jian watched the mask fly far away, his lips pursed even tighter, but he remained motionless.

Lin Gongru found out that as long as the content on the "practice list" was not involved, this ordinary-looking shadow guard named Gu Jian basically obeyed his orders and would never do anything outside the scope of his orders.No matter how much he wanted to pick up that mask, how eager he was to hide himself in the darkness again, as long as the "young master" refused, he could force himself to remain motionless.

This man is interesting, just like a well-bred dog.

It's just that he doesn't know the origin of his cheap father and young master, who has the ability to make a big man so determined.

The two of them were silent for a moment, facing this dull and reticent man like a sawed gourd, Lin Gongru's teasing thoughts that had been fought with great difficulty just now died down again.

He looked at Gu Jian tastelessly for a while, then stood up resentfully.

The shadow guard stood up immediately, he was about the same height as Lin Gongru, but his gaze was still fixed on the ground, as if he thought he was inferior.

Lin Gongru: "I'm hungry, why don't you go get some food?"

Gu Jian bowed and said respectfully: "Young master, before lunch, you need to go back to the study and recite the heart formula for half an hour."

"..."

"Should I recite it?"

"The subordinates dare not provide food for the young master."

……you are vicious.

Lin Gongru was flipping through the thick secret book in his hand, the pages were turning with a rustling sound, and his heart was restless.

This is not the first time he has seen this secret book that is so thick that it can be used as a brick to stand on the table. For the past few days, he has been oppressed by Gu Jian to recite the formulas on the first few pages every day. , the yang gathers the yin, and the yin unites with the yang to produce"——sounds like practicing Taoism, putting on airs.

The cover of this secret book is old, the corners are yellow, and there are fine stitches on the pages, carefully stitched several times with gold thread.It seems to be an ancient book that has been passed down from generation to generation. It has been passed down for many generations. In the hands of Lin Gongru, it is the blessing of the ancestors that it did not fall apart.

He turned it from the beginning to the end, and then turned it from the end to the beginning. It talked about eighteen kinds of martial arts, three formulas and mental methods, and also attached the diagram of Qimen Dunjia's mechanism and the art of gossip and yin and yang. , in an attempt to unify the momentum of the rivers and lakes.Lin Gongru made a rough estimate. According to his aptitude, he might not be able to memorize these obscure things until Mu Xue grows old.

Of course, he didn't intend to resign himself to watching such a life-threatening thing.

He raised his head and glanced at the shadow guard in the corner.

Gu Jian still stood in the corner steadfastly, putting Lin Gongru within his line of sight.

Although he habitually hides his figure behind the bookshelf, it is more or less a shelter; but because he does not have the fox mask to cover him, he is forbidden by Lin Gongru to stay in the shadows, as long as Lin Gongru raises his eyes, he will Can meet his four eyes.As soon as he caught Lin Gongru's sight, he immediately lowered his head as if he had committed some heinous crime.

The young master of his family was thoughtful, took the secret book and patted his palm, and then said in a correct voice:

"I need to go to the bathroom."

"..." Gu Jian didn't expect him to make such a request suddenly, looked up at him in shock, then quickly lowered his head.

Lin Gongru said: "I won't give you food when it's time, but you can't stop me from urinating?"

"..."

Lin Gongru pointed out: "On the training list, I am not prohibited from setting aside a little time to go to the latrine. Besides, it's just a slight delay. At worst, I will make up for the delay when I come back. It's not a violation of your master's legacy. ?”

Gu Jian pursed his lips, as if he was a little moved by him, his eyes wandered a little.

Lin Gongru has been closely watching his movements, carefully observing whether he has done anything secretly to trigger or stop the mechanism of this stone house.

However, to his great disappointment, Gu Jian was the same as the previous ten days, standing obediently where he was, with his hands and feet neatly placed in place, and there was no sign of conspiring with the house to kill him.

Then it turned out that there was a problem with the house itself, and the problem was not with Gu Jian.

Lin Gongru glanced around, raised his voice, and although he felt sick, he deliberately said to this house that seemed to have become a spirit: "I'm going to the toilet, and I'll be back after a cup of tea, don't make trouble. "

"..." Gu Jian looked at him secretly, as if he felt that the young master was obsessed with reciting formulas.

Lin Gongru got up from his seat and took two steps cautiously.

Well, the ground didn't shake.He took two more steps, and waited for a while in fear, but he didn't see the hidden weapon flying out of the slanting stab, and the roof was fixed in place obediently, and no stones fell.

He was finally relieved, he opened the door of the study with a stride, and was about to jump out.

The hem of the clothes was pulled lightly suddenly, Lin Gongru was startled, and turned around, Gu Jian floated behind him like a ghost at some point.

The man wrapped in black clothes pointed to the southeast direction, a corner of the house with black bricks and white tiles was exposed behind the green bushes, and said, "Your subordinate will lead the way for the young master."

Lin Gongru forced a smile: "It's not that I haven't been there before, I know the way."

Gu Jian said softly: "Then this subordinate follows the young master."

This time it was Lin Gongru's turn to be speechless, and could only stare fiercely at this respectful man.

He lost his eyes, this guy is meek and meek, he is not stupid at all.

There's no other way, I can only bite the bullet and go to the toilet, God knows he doesn't feel like peeing at all now.

While grinding his teeth secretly, Lin Gongru walked helplessly towards the hut, followed by Gu Jian who followed him everywhere.
