Zha Gong's evolutionary path

Lin Gongru stood idly in the hut for a long time, observing Gu Jian outside the door through a crack in the door.With his back facing him, the shadow guard stood upright, like a pine tree that cannot be shaken by wind or rain.

He sighed, dawdled to make a little sound of water, dawdled to arrange the clothes on his body, pushed open the door and walked out listlessly.

Hearing the sound, Gu Jian straightened his pristine body even more, turned around, swept his burning eyes over Lin Gongru, and then moved away cautiously.Lin Gongru could understand the urging meaning in his threatening eyes without him opening his mouth, and felt more and more lifeless in an instant.

He walked towards the study without much energy, and Gu Jian followed him step by step.

The book that seemed to be falling apart at any time was spread out on the table angrily. Lin Gongru read a few paragraphs without sincerity, then paused, and waved to Gu Jian.

The shadow guard didn't understand what he meant, he was stunned for a while, and was about to walk towards him when he heard Lin Gongru pointing to the words on the book and saying, "These formulas don't make sense, I don't understand them, please explain them to me .”

Gu Jian's footsteps stopped suddenly.

Lin Gongru was surprised to find that his face was flushed, and a pair of handsome eyes revealed a bit of bewildered panic.I don't know if it was because his rude words of "shit doesn't make sense" just now frightened him, or because he asked him to come over to read the text on the secret book, which flattered the shadow guard who felt inferior.

He was nailed to the spot like a sea needle, and his eyes drifted away for a while as if he didn't know how to place it. Fang whispered softly: "Gu Jian can't...blaspheme."

Lin Gongru thought it was very interesting that he was a seven-foot man with a blushing face at every turn, so he deliberately said: "That's really difficult, I don't understand this thing, and you refuse to explain it, so the progress will be delayed here?"

"..." The shadow guard, who was always half a beat behind in responding, stopped him when asked this sentence, and stood there in a dilemma.A layer of embarrassing blush gradually appeared on the originally pale cheeks, which made the ordinary facial features become a little more vivid.

He pursed his lips with difficulty, thought for a long time, and finally responded in a low voice: "First of all, the master's last words, 'Practice quietly, when the time comes, you will know your own'." He seemed to have finally grasped a life-saving straw, and repeated it again The admonition of the master of the dead ghost, which he kept in his heart all the time and regarded as an imperial decree, "Young master...don't need to rush for success."

Lin Gongru restrained his urge to roll his eyes, how could he really fail to understand those pretentiously sophisticated words, he was just bored, and wanted to tease this guy who looked down on him like a prison guard.

Who knew that this person's personality was as boring as his appearance, and his answers were always so serious and pedantic, always using the words of the previous master as a shield, and Ganqing did not have his own opinions and ways of thinking.

If you stay alone with this person for a long time, sooner or later he will be so dull that a layer of moss will grow.

"Forget it." He waved his hand, and decided not to treat Gu Jian as a real person from today on. Apart from being the mouthpiece and jailer of his former master, this guy seems to have no other function.

He might as well put all his mind on fighting the demon house with wits and courage.

After yawning, he finished reading the mantra, and filtered out those unintelligible words and sentences from his mind without a trace, at least he stayed until lunch time.

Without his urging, the reviewer had already got up and left the study.Lin Gongru glanced at the list at hand, he had half an hour for meals and lunch break before the end of the day, which meant that he could move freely in the house and courtyard, and his heart suddenly moved.

He had tried to go through the courtyard to the front hall before, but his attempt to escape was too obvious, and he was often intercepted by various inexplicably activated mechanisms.

But if he appears at a meal-related place at the meal time, it should not be considered a violation of the rules set by the "list"

——He knew that Gu Jian would go to the kitchen every meal time; but he didn't see how long it took him to serve a table of steaming meals.

Even if this shadow guard's culinary skills have reached perfection, in just one stick/incense/kungfu/husband/, he can cook a meal complete with chicken, duck, fish and meat, and it is absolutely impossible for no one to cooperate.

Of course, the only food to feast on is the lunch meal, and the only vegetarian vegetables and fruits in the evening are for health preservation.

There may be other people in the kitchen, also trapped in this stone house.Otherwise, Gu Jian obtained enough food for two people through other external channels.No matter which one it is, the more information you get, the more helpful you will be in understanding this prison, and the hope of escaping will increase accordingly.

Gu Jian walked across the courtyard to the kitchen on the east side of the main hall, with Lin Gongru trailing behind him not far or near.He walked very lightly, and felt that Gu Jian was so far away that he should not have noticed, but he saw the man stop in front of Chai Fei.

Lin Gongru immediately dodged and hid in the shadow of a big banyan tree.

After such a short time of hiding, when Lin Gongru poked his head out again, Gu Jian was already holding a plate of steaming soup and turned around with an exquisite food box in the other hand. The vermilion food box was divided into four layers. , each floor was full of food, and the aroma was so strong that it penetrated into the tip of Lin Gongru's nose from a long distance away.

"..."

There is indeed something wrong with this kitchen, is there really someone other than the two of them hiding in it?

No wonder Gu Jian felt relieved to leave him alone in the study room. It would take a cup of tea time to come and go, so there was no need to worry about how far he would take the opportunity to slip away!

Seeing Gu Jian carrying those freshly baked meals and walking back and forth, Lin Gongru gritted his teeth and kept going, even if he broke in and disturbed a lot of people, and even disturbed the stone house itself, he would still find it. A little hope of getting out of here.

When Gu Jian's figure disappeared from sight, he immediately stepped out, took three steps in parallel, and quickly stepped to the kitchen door.

The brown firewood door in front of the kitchen door was slightly open, and there was no wind. Lin Gongru was about to open the door and enter, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

What caught his eyes was a spotless dining room, clean and dust-free.At first glance, it looks like a top-level dining room that can be transformed into an imperial dining room at any time.

However, that kind of cleanliness and tidiness is completely different from the cleanliness and tidiness in ordinary dining rooms, giving people a feeling of extreme disharmony.

The reason is that it is too tidy and spacious, and none of the common cooking utensils such as stove, stove, pot, bowl, ladle, spoon, etc. appear in this dining room.Not only are there no simple kitchen utensils, but even the daily vegetables and meat that should be hoarded in the kitchen are gone.In the entire spacious dining room, there is only one chopping board made of wood, squatting on the largest table like no one else, it looks very abrupt and eye-catching.

In this empty kitchen with no one, no kitchen utensils, and no materials, it is impossible for Gu Jian to conjure up that pile of delicious food out of thin air.

Then the answer is only -

Lin Gongru glanced around, locked on several suspicious corners, pushed his finger on the firewood door, and was about to go in.

Suddenly there was a sound of wind in the back of his head. He had been prepared for a long time, and when he tilted his head, a pebble the size of a palm popped out from nowhere, whizzed past his ear, and shot straight into the empty dining room.The pebbles rolled on the ground, making a few hollow sounds, and there seemed to be a hollow area below.

There seems to be a secret passage in the kitchen, and Gu Jian got the food through there.

And the stone house didn't want him to get close to the secret passage.

Lin Gongru sneered in his heart, I really don't believe in evil today, I am a pure man with hands and feet, and I want to be restrained by this rough house?

He protected his head with his arms, and was about to rush into the kitchen with one stride.

The soles of his feet slipped suddenly, and the solid ground split open on both sides, swallowing his calf down into the shattered hollow/hole/middle/.The hole is not big, but it is enough to get people's feet stuck.

Surprised and angry, Lin Gongru suddenly rolled over on a donkey, pulling himself out of the hole.Still undeterred, he rushed towards Chaifei, and just turned over, he saw a piece of pure black marble rising slowly in front of Chaifei.

The speed of the marble rising was sudden and fast, without making a sound, Lin Gongru was too late to stop his body, and it seemed that he was about to hit the other person with the head--

The back collar was suddenly grabbed by a hand in mid-air, which almost prevented him from staring at the stars.

He turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Gu Jian in black standing behind him.

Meeting his gaze, the shadow guard hastily let go of his disrespectful grip on the back of his collar, and with a look of doing something wrong, he said softly: "This subordinate offends..."

Anyway, being caught by this person, Lin Gongru maintained the unembarrassed posture of rolling on the ground, and simply had a showdown with him: "There is a secret passage in the kitchen? You went out to get food through the secret passage? Is this the case?" The only exit from the broken house?"

Gu Jian: "..."

Lin Gongru was impatient: "I have seen it with my own eyes, no matter how hard you hide it, you can't hide it." Pointing to the bare kitchen, he said coldly, "Who's kitchen is so clean that there is not even a mouse?"

Gu Jian glanced at him, then quickly looked away, and said in a low voice, "Young master, the secret passage in the kitchen was originally arranged by the young master."

Lin Gongru choked for a moment: "What do you mean? I... the young master arranged it?"

"The young master personally built this yin and yang house, and set up the door of life under the dining room, and swore before the spirit of the former master that unless he succeeds in his studies, he will never leave this stone house..." Gu Jian's voice became more and more serious Low, seems to be a little bit at a loss, "The young master has forgotten all these old things?"

"..."

If it was just the beginning, Lin Gongru still suspected that all this was just a ridiculous joke; when he heard this, even his back began to ooze a fine layer of cold sweat.

If this stone house was really made by the cheap young master, he set limits for himself; then the list of troubles is also a prop used by the poor and boring kid to spur himself to study?Since he was so diligent and eager to learn, why did he throw an unrelated outsider like him in without knowing his whereabouts?

Is that young master dead or alive?

What kind of intentions does he have for him?

Lin Gongru's face was extremely ugly, and there were a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He stared at the shadow guard standing in front of him with his hands down, thinking wildly, whether this person named Gu Jian was in cahoots with his young master, and joined forces to trick him, an unknown outsider, or was he just like him, Being in the middle of the game, ignorant of all the calculations?

Will he be an ally he can use, equally kept in the dark, or a scheming villain who lurks by his side to accompany his calculations?

After a pause for a while, Lin Gongru said: "...what else should I know, but I don't know yet?"

Gu Jian hesitated to speak: "..."

Lin Gongru looked at him urgently.

Gu Jian said sincerely: "Young master, you have missed lunch, it's time to go to the backyard to practice swords."

Lin Gongru: "..."

Lin Gongru thought to himself, I shouldn't have high hopes for this stupid head.

For a person who can even admit that his young master is wrong, expecting him to reveal the news he wants in a logical, clear and meticulous manner is simply a daydream.
