Zha Gong's evolutionary path

Gu Jian was extremely obedient, for half a month, he really did not appear in Lin Gongru's sight.

Meals and clear water always appeared in the usual places without anyone noticing. Gu Jian came and went without a trace, never disturbing Lin Gongru.And Lin Gongru's heart was as clear as a mirror after the competition. With Gu Jian's skills, it would not be a problem for him to take his dog's life from a few miles away. It would be a problem for him to deliver a meal quietly without being noticed by him. Easy to say.

This person who lived under the same roof as him seemed to have evaporated, leaving no traces anywhere.If it wasn't for the steaming meals that came out on time, Lin Gongru would have thought that this person would have left the Onmyoji House through secret passages in a fit of anger after he was almost violated by him.

But if you think about it carefully, if Gu Jian is not happy, even if he does something to him with a temporary advantage in physical strength, it will definitely end in death afterwards.

If anything was done—

Lin Gongru's heart shuddered, and he tried his best to restrain his mind, pulled himself out of another wild thought, and focused all his attention on the ancient book in front of him.

He is now more urgent than before to leave this ghostly stone house and leave this inexplicably endowed identity.So he really put his heart into it, almost forgetting to eat and sleep, studying those obscure words and long paragraphs of formulas. When taking a bath, when eating, and before going to bed, his mind is full of rows of Xiaozhuan fonts flying past.

He compressed his rest time, and rushed to the martial arts field as soon as he opened his eyes, dancing the /spear/spear/ in hand with vigor.

The meditation practice period in front of Guanxin Wall was carefully elongated by him, breath and breath adjustment, one still and one movement, and he proceeded step by step.

The time passed very quickly, except for the absence of Gu Jian in his daily life, which made him feel inexplicably empty in his heart, he did not feel difficult after practicing seriously.

It's strange to say that Lin Gongru could memorize those formulas and tricks and martial arts that he thought he might have to wait until Mu Xue's white head to finish, after the almost obsessive experience in front of Guan Xinbi that day, Lin Gongru can now memorize them effortlessly, even with ease. .

Although it took him a long time before he knew that Gu Jian not only suppressed the stray true energy for him, but also forcibly opened up the extremely important Ren Du second channel for him in martial arts—so Gu Jian consumed his true energy The drama is beyond Lin Gongru's imagination, and it is also the reason why the shadow guard can be pressed on the stone bed by him to do whatever he wants-it makes him suddenly leap from a babbling child to a scholar who has read poetry and books. It is a natural moat that many people may find it difficult to cross in their entire lives.

For Lin Gongru, a layman who knows nothing, he only knows that he has been practicing martial arts recently, and he is becoming more and more proficient day by day.

After reciting the twenty-odd pages of moves stipulated in the checklist, he closed his eyes and memorized for a moment, seeing that it was still early, and then turned a few pages back.

The young man was concentrating on flipping through the ancient book in hand, his eyes were drooping, and his long eyelashes fluttered, leaving a faint shadow under his eyelids.From time to time, he gently recited the mantra, his lips were red and his teeth were white, he was handsome and cute for no reason, he looked harmless to humans and animals from a distance, and he had an inexplicable sense of obedience and docileness.

Gu Jian stood tall, with his hands behind his back on the stone eaves at the northeast corner of the stone house, quietly staring at Lin Gongru who was sitting upright in the study.

The cold wind blows the shadow guard's night-like clothes, and the man wrapped in black robes is like a goshawk waiting to fly, gazing at its prey. Once it locks on to the target, it will rush down.

The man's gaze was complicated, and various emotions rose and fell in his usually peaceful and restrained eyes.He seemed to be having a fierce ideological struggle with himself, and the fist hidden in the sleeve was clenched and then loosened.

On the other side, Lin Gongru seemed to have sensed something, raised his head and glanced out the window.

Gu Jian remained the same, completely motionless.He knew very well that with the martial arts skills of this fake young master, he would definitely not notice this hidden corner where he was hiding, and he didn't even need to bother to avoid it.

Sure enough, the young man raised his eyes and scanned around, but found nothing unusual.The handsome eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, the thin lips were slightly pursed, and a bit of obvious disappointment appeared on his face.

But this expression was only fleeting, Lin Gongru quickly lowered his head, and put himself into the ancient book in hand again.

The shadow guard's excellent eyesight allowed Gu Jian to catch the momentary disappointment on Lin Gongru's face from a distance.

He had seen this look occasionally in the past few days, and he didn't think much of it at the time, but today, his heart trembled inexplicably—could he be looking for...his figure?

The fist that had been loosened in the sleeve for a moment, was clenched again unknowingly.

Gu Jian stared at Lin Gongru in the study for a long time, until the familiar yet unfamiliar handsome young man closed the book and turned back into the further corner of the study.

He stayed on the eaves for a while, sighed long, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he fell from the roof lightly.

Lin Gongru put the thick secret book back to its place, stretched, and calculated that it was time for lunch.

He was about to walk out of the study, when he turned around, he suddenly saw Gu Jian who was dressed in pitch black, standing in front of him silently like a ghost.

This person didn't make any footsteps, and appeared unexpectedly. Unprepared, Lin Gongru was startled and almost jumped three feet on the spot.

Fortunately, he reacted in time and only jumped two steps to the side.Leaning against the desk, she looked in shock at the man who seemed to suddenly emerge from the ground.

Gu Jian also looked at him, silently not speaking.

The two of them stared at each other for a while, before Lin Gongru finally regained his composure, a feeling of surprise and joy surged up in his heart.

He coughed twice, "You... are you finally willing to show up?"

Gu Jian looked at him for a while, a trace of emotion that Lin Gongru had never seen flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head as before.

He said softly: "It is the young master who does not allow his subordinates to appear in front of the young master."

Lin Gongru blurted out: "If I tell you not to come, will you really not come?!"

Gu Jian: "..."

Lin Gongru: "..."

Lin Gongru rubbed his nose, and recalled with great embarrassment the scene when he yelled "You make me sick" at this taciturn shadow guard more than ten years ago, and then walked away.If it were me, if someone would lose face like this on the spot, let alone more than ten days, I am afraid that I will never appear in front of the other party again for the rest of my life.

He was embarrassed and a little ashamed.Especially when thinking about it further, recalling that he had done so many inappropriate things to Gu Jianmao, he felt that he had really acted very lowly.

He pretended to cough again, bit the bullet, and said to Gu Jian: "It's my fault. I shouldn't say that to you——I know you've always been loyal."

He looked at Gu Jian's calm expression, sighed, took the initiative to go over, and took his hand.

Gu Jian didn't speak, his face was still gentle and calm, but when Lin Gongru held his hand, his fingertips trembled for no reason.

Lin Gongru looked straight into his eyes, and said sincerely: "Gu Jian, I apologize. I will follow your wishes and practice diligently, - you... Please continue to perform your duties, accompany and guide me. "

He noticed that the shadow guard seemed to want to break free from his palm, so he held his hand more forcefully, squeezed it lightly, thought of something, and let it go quickly.

Gu Jian lowered his head and said, "Subordinates dare not."

Lin Gongru said softly: "Don't be afraid. I will never go against your will and do anything to force you."

"..."

The shadow guard was silent for a long time, and Lin Gongru almost thought that he would reluctantly say the meaningless "subordinates dare not" after that.

The two were silent for a while, when suddenly there was a rumbling sound from Lin Gongru's stomach.Gu Jian was stunned for a moment, the handsome young man in front of him blushed slightly, and muttered like a child: "I'm hungry."

This kind of coquettish, childish words suddenly tugged at Gu Jian's heartstrings, and he trembled imperceptibly.

The shadow guard suddenly turned around, as if he couldn't bear it, and hurried out: "... this subordinate will bring food for the young master."

A meal was eaten peacefully and depressingly.

Lin Gongru has been working hard to cultivate recently, exhausted his physical and mental energy, and he is prone to hunger. Today, seeing Gu Jian, whom he hadn't seen in half a month, he was inexplicably happy, and he ate more and more heartily.

After eating for a while, he still looked up at Gu Jian who was silent in the shadow opposite, as if he was afraid that if he was not careful, this person would slip away again.

The eager and cheerful eyes of the young man, like a hot iron, burned directly into the eyes of the thoughtful shadow guard opposite.Gu Jian only had contact with him for a moment, then immediately lowered his head, as if he was afraid that he would bump into his unspeakable thoughts.

It's just that the guilt at this moment is completely different from the guilt in the past few months.

He finally fixed his eyes on his pale and slender fingers, quietly lost in thought.

After about half a cup of tea time, he heard the sound of Lin Gongru putting down the bowl and chopsticks after eating and drinking, with a slight movement between his eyebrows, he took the initiative to step forward and said softly: "Young master, my subordinates have prepared a wooden table for the young master to bathe and purify himself. Barrel, the young master can rest for a while before practicing martial arts..."

This was his first time, the first time he proposed an item outside the scope of the list, Lin Gongru gave him a surprised look.

But immediately, he interpreted it as a signal that Gu Jian was willing to reconcile, and that little surprise was immediately forgotten by him.

In any case, bathing and purging is something he can freely control, whether it is at night or at noon, there is no precise time limit.

Lin Gongru said happily: "Okay, will you accompany me?"

Gu Jian lowered his eyelashes and said in a low voice, "Your subordinate obeys."

He led Lin Gongru towards the wing room that had been prepared in advance, walking hurriedly along the way, far from his usual steady and calm pace.Although Lin Gongru felt that his behavior was a bit strange, he didn't think too much about it. He was far happier than he imagined after seeing him again after so many days.

He explained to himself that he probably missed Gu Jian's company so much because he was bored in the stone room for too long.

The wing room in front of me is different from the one Gu Jian lives in. It faces south and is large and airy. The midday sun shines in warmly through the window sills, casting a splintered golden scene on the cold bluestone floor.

There is a landscape screen facing the door, and behind the screen is a pear-blossom barrel that can hold two grown men, steam is bubbling out, and the towel for cleaning is placed on the side, which is white and soft.

Gu Jian stood aside, waiting for Lin Gongru to undress.

The "young master" of his family looked around and found that he had never been to this wing.

Blinking his eyes, he said with a smile: "I'm a big man, I can just find a place sheltered from the wind to scrub, why bother to arrange such a place for bathing and purifying carefully? Gu Jian, don't you think I'm a little lady?"

With a teasing smile on his lips, he casually took off his clothes, "Don't tell me, there are fragrant rose petals sprinkled in the bath water."

Gu Jian didn't look at him, and lowered his head, hiding all the intricate thoughts in his eyes.

He only said: "The young master is diligent in cultivation, and has not taken care of himself for a long time. Today, let the subordinates be bold and take care of the young master."

Lin Gongru snorted, and said with a smile: "That's right, I've devoted myself to learning for the past few months, but I've actually neglected my skin."

He took off his clothes on his own, leaving only an ivory-colored undershirt, and his long black hair fell down to his waist.The young man picked up a strand of hair that was hanging down his shoulders, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile, "This hair is already so long."
