Zha Gong's evolutionary path

Half an hour passed.

Lin Gongru let out a long mouthful of turbid air, and the stuffy feeling filled his chest like a block, dissipated as the true energy wandered through his limbs and bones, and he felt refreshed all over his body.The original frustration of being defeated in the martial arts field was also swept away. I only felt that my eyes were like torches, and my whole body was filled with true energy and energy.

He jumped up, turned his head, and said happily to Gu Jian behind him: "Your trick is really effective, all the discomfort just now is gone, what is it called? You teach me—"

Gu Jian withdrew his true energy, his eyes darkened, and he fell towards him with a bang.

Lin Gongru acted faster than he could react, and pulled the man into his arms. He took a closer look, and under the deserted moonlight, the shadow guard in black seemed to blend into the night, only his face was frighteningly white.He breathed weakly, grabbed Lin Gongru's arm, and tried to stand up.

Lin Gongru pushed him back without any effort, and was startled suddenly, wondering if true qi is a thing that can be given to others after a little transition?It was just now that so much genuine energy flowed from Gu Jian's body continuously, isn't his body weak and legs weak this time?

As soon as he raised his hand, he hugged the person in his arms.Gu Jian was about the same stature as him, but Lin Gongru wrapped his arms around his knees with ease, and lifted him up to the waist into the air.

Gu Jian's eyes widened, with an expression of being overly frightened, he moved his waist, trying to jump out of Lin Gongru's arms.

He said in embarrassment: "Young master, you don't need to trouble the young master..."

"Don't move, be careful not to fall." Lin Gongru didn't scold him very seriously, but asked again, "Where is your room?"

This sentence shocked the shadow guard even more, the delicate eyes on his plain face widened, he stared at Lin Gongru in a daze, and remained silent for a long time.

Lin Gongru asked again, he suddenly came to his senses, struggling more violently, "Young master... this subordinate dare not..."

The more he resisted, the weaker his hands and feet became, the more it seemed that Lin Gong, who was holding him in his arms easily, was as powerful as Kong Wuwu.

Thinking about a few hours ago, the man in his arms was still able to play with ease, playing with himself for a long time like an adult teasing a naughty boy, Lin Gongru felt a sense of joy in his heart for no reason.He secretly chewed the adage several times that a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by a dog, that a plucked phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, hehehe, you also fell into my hands, which is the retribution of the world, and then realized that he had scolded himself into it.

However, this did not prevent him from being in a good mood suddenly. Even if Lin Gongru knew that Gu Jian's hands and feet were weak, it was because he forcibly transferred his true energy to himself for half an hour just now, and he was refreshed. Because of his life-saving protection; but still as happy as a fox that stole a chicken.

It's rare in life to be confused once, so it's okay to pretend to be a martial arts master.

He couldn't help but look at Gu Jian triumphantly, who was still struggling in vain.

Lin Gongru smiled and said: "Don't waste your energy, you can't go far with your appearance, right? Anyway, today's practice time is over, let me carry you back to your room."

"..."

Gu Jian suddenly stopped moving as if he was struggling suddenly.

He stared at Lin Gongru's gracefully curved chin in a daze, and said something to himself, as if Lin Gongru's ears were there: "...Young Master...you never enter the subordinate's room."

There were obviously strange emotions hidden in his words, hidden words in his words, and hidden thoughts that Lin Gongru couldn't hear.

Lin Gongru smiled and said: "Who is free to enter the room of the elders? If you are a fair-skinned and beautiful girl, it would be my wish to come to your boudoir."

Gu Jian blushed suddenly, and defended himself with no silver 300 taels here: "I dare not offend... my subordinates have no such intention!"

His defense was inexplicable, Lin Gongru was at a loss, wondering which "meaning" was "this meaning"?Why do you feel like you can't keep up with Gu Jian's topic?

He felt strange, so he couldn't help but look at him again. He thought that if it was normal, the shadow guard would suddenly blush as he said it, and his interpretation was not the same as what he wanted to express in the original words. Are horses and cows irrelevant?

Didn't he really compare him to a "little girl" and wanted to go to his room——

There was a slight movement in Lin Gongru's heart, and a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, as if Gu Jian had just spent his true energy and forcibly opened up Ren Du's two veins, suddenly illuminating a blurred corner of his heart.

Some previous fragmentary and incoherent conjectures were finally integrated, as if an answer had been obtained, ready to come out.

He watched Gu Jian's flushed cheeks calm down calmly, deliberately misinterpreted his meaning, and said, "Since you didn't mean to offend, then the young master said he was going to your room, so naturally you wouldn't stop talking to him." wrong?"

Gu Jian looked at him unresponsively, trying hard to turn around slowly, digesting the logical relationship of the context.

Lin Gongru hugged him, and smelled the faint sandalwood scent that he smelled when Gu Jianhu was hiding in his arms to hide the stone bench. A cool fragrance.

This fragrance is different from the scent of rouge, which is just in time for women in the boudoir, and it is more like the old temple in the deep mountains, and a faint candle lamp in front of the ancient Buddha with green lights. The fragrant Gu Jian himself.

This man has a good ability to roam the rivers and lakes, but he is willing to be buried in a stone house that sees no light, keeping a vow of life and death throughout his life.

What he entrusted to this young master was probably not only the kindness of picking him up and raising him back then, but more like seeing it as a belief that he was willing to go through fire and water for it.

Gu Jian hesitated for a long time, and found that he had spent a lot of real energy just now for the young master, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from the man's arms; and the young master always said one thing, if he insisted on holding himself, he would have to Refuse to put yourself down.If this stalemate lasts too long, it must be extremely difficult for the young master to hold him.

He looked back and forth again and again, and finally couldn't bear the young master of his family to use him as an upright cushion, so he bit the bullet and pointed to the wing in the southeast corner of Guanxin Wall.Lin Gongru glanced at him, hugged him and turned around, Gu Jian hurriedly said: "Just... just get to the door, please ask the young master to put the subordinates down in front of the door."

Lin Gongru took three steps and two steps to the front of the dimly lit wing room, and said, "Okay." He pushed open the half-hidden door with his shoulder, and stepped in.

Gu Jian: "..."

Lin Gongru smelled a faint fragrance in front of the door, coming from the depths of the wing.This fragrance is too familiar, it blends with the fragrance of Gu Jian's body, making it difficult to distinguish.

While moving the tip of his nose, smelling where the fragrance came from, he glanced around and found that this wing room was much shabby compared to the well-equipped house where he lived.

In such a large room, there is only a cold stone bed against the wall, and there is no other furniture at all. It seems that it is a place dedicated to sleeping.The window was covered with yellowed window paper, and the moonlight shone on it bleakly, only a little hazy circle of light could penetrate through it, so once night fell in this room, it would be completely dark.

It took Lin Gongru a lot of effort to get used to the dim light in the room, and he was stunned to himself, what the hell kind of place this young master arranged for Gu Jian to live in? Is this for people? Gu Jian is willing to endure it?Is this treating people as shadow guards, or as watchdogs?

He wondered if there was any other place in the Onmyoji House where Gu Jian could settle down. When he turned his gaze, he was suddenly attracted by a small wooden sign in the deepest part of the wing, where the light was the dimmest.

He glanced roughly before, but didn't notice the small wooden sign that was leaning against the corner of the wall and half hidden in the blind spot of the stone bed. He walked to the bedside with Gu Jian in his arms, and suddenly felt that the smell that had been radiating out of nowhere came from nowhere. The coming aroma was stronger, and I only noticed the small wooden sign at the end of the stone bed when I lowered my head.

The wooden sign is bronze in color, and there is a simple but solid candlestick below it, standing the sign firmly in the center.On the ground in front of the wooden sign, some gray powder was scattered, which looked like the remnants of burnt incense candles.

Gu Jian followed Lin Gongru's gaze and looked at the inconspicuous wooden sign, his face suddenly changed.As soon as Lin Gongru bent down to put him on the bed, he impatiently moved his body to the side of the bed, trying to block Lin Gongru's gaze from staring at the wooden sign: "Young master, my subordinates are fine, please go back to the room first -"

Lin Gongru staggered a step, avoiding his cover, and looked at the wooden sign again.This time he saw it more clearly. The wooden sign was about the size of a palm, with two rows of gilt characters engraved vertically. The font on the left side was larger and the font on the right side was smaller.

"What is this?" Curiosity prompted Lin Gongru to lower his waist, and carefully inspected the two lines of gilt characters from left to right, "The [-]th generation young master of the Lin family, Lin Xiao, is in the position of longevity, and the humble subordinate Gu Jian will never forget his virtue—" —The Longevity Tablet?"

Lin Gongru suddenly understood where the scent of sandalwood on Gu Jian's body came from; he had enshrined someone's longevity tablet in his sleeping room, and prayed day and night, hoping that that person would have a long life and be safe and healthy.

He thought of this level, but didn't think about it deeply, and asked casually, "Is Lin Xiao——"

The word "who" was in his mouth, before he could spit it out, he moved back and his gaze happened to meet Gu Jian's gaze. Seeing the uncontrollable panic and doubt in the latter's eyes, he was suddenly enlightened, and all the doubts in his heart were eliminated Made it clear.

Who else is this Lin Xiao?

Let Gu Jian live and die with all his heart and soul, let him be trapped in this dark stone house with all his martial arts, let him live in such a simple wing like a watchdog...

"You like me?" Lin Gongru's eyes darkened a bit, and he didn't know that he lowered his voice to a creepy tone.

He stood up from the tablet of longevity, unexpectedly, pushed Gu Jian who was panicking to hide the tablet, and pushed him down on the side of the bed, looking down at him from a high position, and said: "You will never leave me forever , because you like 'me'?"
