Zha Gong's evolutionary path

After Gu Jian left without looking back, Lin Gongru, like a defeated rooster, stayed on the spot for a long time before dragging his heavy steps out from the secret passage.

He didn't try to force his way in again, and his mind changed from escaping the Yin-Yang house to a more urgent matter.

The most fundamental reason why he came here was Ying Moyan who kicked him off Wangchuan.And Ying Moyan's target is the person with the blood-colored lotus on his body, so it is reasonable for Gu Jian not to run away in this life.

He and Gu Jian...

Lin Gong was out of his wits, and jumped out of the ground in dismay.

As soon as I set foot on the ground, I realized that I had not only missed breakfast, missed reciting mantras, but also missed the time for meditation, and I am afraid that I even missed the time for lunch.

I don't know if I hurried to the martial arts field now, or if I can get away with it.

He was about to walk across the courtyard to the martial arts training ground with a fluke mentality of remaining unchanged and responding to all changes, when his footsteps suddenly stopped.

The ground under his feet seemed to be shaking.

The big banyan tree with luxuriant branches facing the dining room suddenly started to move without wind, and the thick and thick branches of the tree shook violently as if suffering from malaria, making loud noises and great momentum.

The green leaves on the branches seemed to be hit by something, and they swirled and fell straight down, falling fast and fast, in a mess, and the flying leaves danced wildly all over the courtyard for a while, covering people's heads and eyes.

Lin Gongruxin said that after delaying for such a long time and not following its routine, the Onmyoji House was really not reconciled, and was ready to make trouble right away.

It seems that the battle is quite large.

He didn't want to confront this gloomy house head-on, and he just wanted to catch up with the schedule of the training list as soon as possible, and rushing to the training ground might be able to appease this demon house that seemed to be insane.

But as soon as he took a step, he heard a muffled rumbling thunder passing through the sunny top of his head.

thunder?

Two roaring thunderbolts rolled across the sky, and the originally warm and warm light was gradually covered and engulfed by layers of dark clouds floating from nowhere; thick gray gathered from all directions, and the bright hall in the courtyard immediately fell into a gloomy shadow inside.

The green fallen leaves fluttering in the courtyard were alarmed by the roaring thunder, fell to the ground and rolled up again.The moment it was rolled up, Lin Gongru saw that the veins of the leaves suddenly shrank and withered, and the color of the leaves turned into ashes and dead brown in the blink of an eye.

A few flakes brushed past his cheeks, and he tried to grab them, only to be surprised that the dead leaves were as sharp as a blade, drawing deep bloodstains on the tiger's mouth.

He suddenly withdrew his hands back into his sleeves, and at the same time quickly took off his outer shirt, tore it into strips, and wrapped it thickly on the nape of his neck, palms and cheeks.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly. When he had just wrapped up the /naked/exposed/exposed skin, the banyan tree leaves rushed towards him like a group of wild bees that had finally found the culprit.

Countless sharp blades roared towards his body overwhelmingly.

Even though he was on guard, Lin Gongru still felt the lethality of these suddenly hidden blades through the cloth strips that wrapped his skin, and there was a burning pain on his face and arms that could not be ignored.

Before he could think about it, he turned around and rushed straight to the original target, the dead leaves followed behind him with claws and claws.

The martial arts training ground is on the north side of Guanxinbi. To get there, one must first pass through the courtyard of Guanxinbi.

Gu Jian lives in the wing room at the southeast corner of Guanxin Wall.

Lin Gong rolled into that courtyard like a wind and clouds.Without stopping, he rushed to the martial arts field in the northeast direction, deliberately avoiding the wing where Gu Jian was.

He didn't want to cause trouble to Gu Jian, and he didn't want him to be involved in the anger of the demon house for no reason.

There was a light click, like the sound of a machine being wound up, coming from the direction of the east wing where Gu Jian lived.

Lin Gongru couldn't help but cast a glance behind her.

He staggered under his feet and stopped alive.

He turned his head and ran towards Gu Jian's room, kicked open the half-hidden door, and called Gu Jian's name in a changed voice: "Gu Jian!"

Given Gu Jian's 1 choices, he definitely didn't want to hear Lin Gongru's voice at this moment.

The shadow guard curled up beside the bed, his shoulders slumped, his head drooped, motionless.

Lin Gongru really wanted to give him time to calm down, and was willing to find a chance to repay the debt in the secret path with him, but not now.

He rushed over and grabbed Gu Jian's arm. The other party was defenseless, and he was pulled sideways by him.

Lin Gongru took advantage of the situation and hugged the man whose legs and feet were still weak into his arms, ignoring the man's widening eyes in astonishment, half-supporting and half-dragging him to the door.

Gu Jian reacted, pulled out the dagger hidden in his sleeve with one hand, and pressed Lin Gongru firmly on the arm that was holding him.Sternly: "Let go!!"

His voice was still hoarse, and he spoke weakly when he threatened, but the point of the knife pressed on Lin Gongru's pulse with such force that blood could splatter three feet at any time.

Lin Gongru didn't even look at the dagger, the young man seemed to have gone mad, dragging him straight to the door, not caring about his life at all.

Gu Jian gritted his teeth in hatred, he was trampled by this man in the stone room for so long, he was too weak to gather his true energy, he staggered and dragged him out of the door involuntarily.

As soon as he went out, the shadow guard noticed the sudden change in the sky in the yard. The withered brown leaves danced wildly in the yard, and even the grass leaves and flowers growing at the bottom of the wall were slowly uprooted from the ground, followed by the evil wind from nowhere. Flying mindlessly in the courtyard.

He has stayed in this yin and yang house for far longer than Lin Gongru, but he has never seen such a hostile scene like today.Gu Jian raised his head, and was also stunned, forgetting to resist.

There was another click, this time it was much louder and closer than what Lin Gongru heard just now.

Gu Jian suddenly turned his head and saw Lin Gongru staring at the wing room from which he was dragged out——

From the corner of the wing room, a crack as thick as an adult's arm is rapidly expanding from north to south, but in the blink of an eye, it has stretched and widened into a gap more than three feet wide, and it is swallowing towards their side at an alarming speed. .

With a bang in Gu Jian's mind, he understood why Lin Gongru dragged him out of the wing.

But as soon as he understood it, he immediately threw Lin Gongru's hand away, and rushed into the wing room again.

Lin Gongru didn't pay attention, and let someone break free.He was stunned, and rushed in without thinking, yelling, "You're crazy! You're courting death—"

The voice stopped abruptly, and he saw that Gu Jian rushed back to pick up the gilded longevity tablet from the bed that had collapsed halfway into the chasm.

All words are stuck in the throat.

Gu Jian picked up Lin Xiao's longevity tablet, and rushed out of the room from Lin Gongru's side without saying a word.

Lin Gongru gritted his teeth, suppressed the soreness rising up in his chest, and rushed out after him.

As soon as the two of them stepped out of the threshold, the back of the wing room was swallowed completely by the black hole that opened suddenly.

The cracks on the soles of the feet are spreading at an astonishing speed, like a giant beast that grows fast and eats a huge amount, devouring all living or inanimate objects rooted on the surface one by one.

The road leading to the Shengmen of the canteen is no longer feasible. Lin Gongru and Gu Jian saw with their own eyes the lower limit of the ground in that courtyard, and even the towering banyan tree was rumbling and sinking to the ground in an unstoppable manner. The bluestone brick surface is even more torn apart, scattered in the increasingly large depression.

They had no choice but to run in the opposite direction of the crack spreading.

Lin Gongru still held a trace of luck in his heart, as long as he ran to the training ground, the disaster caused by his lack of training on time would stop in time.

But the loud noise behind him is getting louder and the movement is getting more and more intense. The crazily spreading ground sinks into a destructive force, engulfing all the buildings, stones, flowers and plants encountered along the way, and the Guanxin wall engraved with dense formulas is also The whole piece was swallowed up, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

No matter how you look at this movement, it doesn't seem like the house just wants to go crazy, but more like it intends to drag the people inside to die together.

Lin Gongru only looked back, but didn't dare to look back, and ran with all his might.

Although he was dead on the soles of his feet, he was racing against the cracks behind him and the fallen leaves and dead flowers that were endlessly chasing after him, but he still kept a little mind and pressed himself two or three steps behind Gu Jian.

——This shadow guard is a careless person. If he remembered something important related to his young master and didn't bring it with him halfway, and turned back halfway to get it, would he still be able to survive in this situation?

Just now when Gu Jian rushed back to the collapsed wing, Lin Gongru was terrified when he thought about it.

With him watching from behind, if Gu Jian was stupid again, he would be able to pounce on him immediately and stop him, even if his legs were broken on the spot, he would not be allowed to take risks.

He stared closely at the shadow guard's back, and noticed that Gu Jian's figure was a little unstable, and his legs and feet would flinch slightly when they touched the ground, which should be caused by some kind of injury.

Lin Gongru looked at it, and involuntarily turned his eyes away.

The spacious training ground is finally in sight.

The figure in front suddenly paused and slowed down.

Lin Gongru followed immediately, and for a moment he stood shoulder to shoulder with the shadow guard, his eyes fixed on the scene on the other side of the training ground.

I thought that I would be able to take a breather here, but I didn't expect that the collapse of the Yin-Yang Art House was not just from the direction of the dining hall, but from all directions, gathering in a besieged city, and the martial arts field. The last piece of open space was firmly surrounded in the very center.

At the other end of the martial arts field, the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed.

All the once-familiar scenery was engulfed by the huge subsidence; dead blade-like leaves, flowers and plants were also flying in the air, and the ground collapsed unabated. This last piece of foothold was engulfed by rumbling rumbles.

This accident happened too fast and too quickly, they had no breathing skills, and they had nowhere to escape.

"..."

Lin Gongru stood in the middle of the gradually shrinking open space of the martial arts training ground, and next to him was the silent Gu Jian with a silent expression.

Lin Gongru smiled wryly.

He said to Gu Jian: "Unexpectedly, this thing is so serious this time that it doesn't hesitate to destroy itself and kill it all."

The sole of his foot slipped, and he avoided a crevice that opened silently under his foot, and Gu Jian silently took two steps back.

The leaves and petals flying in all directions were still rushing towards the two of them, leaving bloody marks on their bodies indiscriminately.

Lin Gongru straddled and stood in front of Gu Jian, raising his hands to firmly protect the back of his head and neck.

Gu Jian's eyes flickered, he wanted to back away from Lin Gongru's protective range, but he grabbed the skirt of his clothes tightly.

"There's not much room to stand around, so don't hide." Lin Gongru said, "I dragged you down. If I hadn't forced my way through the entrance under the dining hall and alerted the mechanism, you...you could have gotten out of there Take a secret path and retreat calmly."

"..."

Gu Jian pursed his lips, looked past him, and placed his eyes on the collapsed ground not far away.

For some reason, the speed of the ground falling slowly slowed down.

He didn't answer Lin Gongru's words.

Lin Gongru looked at him again, the other party kept his eyes down, tightly holding his baby sign, unwilling to meet his eyes.

From the beginning to the end, Gu Jian did not say a single word of venting or anger. All his anger and humiliation were suppressed deep in his heart.

Maybe, because he misunderstood him as Lin Xiao, he felt a little bit of guilt and pain?

If he hadn't mistook him for the young master he swore to follow, his life would definitely not have been spared in the stone room.

When Lin Gongru was about to die, he felt so gloomyly fortunate.

He thought, at least at the last moment, the person who was with Gu Jian was himself, not Lin Xiao.

Even if Gu Jian must die according to Ying Moyan's will, he can die with him.

He said: "In that stone room, I am to you—"

The rate of ground subsidence slowed down more and more.

When there were only five feet away from the shelter of Lin Gongru and Gu Jian, the collapsed ground seemed to have been pressed the stop button suddenly, and the emergency brake was stepped on.

The moment the subsidence stopped, all the flowers, plants, and leaves dancing in the sky seemed to have lost the wind they relied on, and fell to the ground one after another like exhausted butterflies.For a while, the ground was full of dead branches and leaves, stumps and flowers.

The surroundings suddenly fell into a dreadful silence like the Temple of Yama.

Gu Jian's body trembled suddenly, as if sensing some familiar aura, he suddenly raised his head.

Lin Gongru faced him, and was surprised to find that there was a trace of surprise in those cold eyes, and the figure of a strange man behind him was printed little by little in his eyes.

Lin Gongru turned around abruptly, and the man who was exactly the same as him, seemed to have fallen from the sky, standing lightly and steadily three feet away from him.

The man was dressed in brocade clothes, his face was covered with a strange fox mask, and on both sides of his mouth that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, three red beards hooked all the way to the back of his ears.The slender fox eyes are raised, and a cold light radiates from the back of the mask.

He stood with his hands behind his back, and with a flat tone, he said to the shadow guard behind him with a voice similar to that of Lin Gongru: "The time has come, Gu Jian. Come to me."
