Zha Gong's evolutionary path

The man wearing the fox mask has a calm and indifferent voice and tone, with the usual command tone of the superior, and every word is unquestionable.

Gu Jian's lips moved a few times. He seemed extremely surprised and delighted, but his voice trembled with fear.

He took a step forward, passed Lin Gongru's shoulder, and stopped hesitantly.

But there was a slight joy in his tone, and Lin Gongru heard him calling that man in a trembling voice: "—Young Master."

There is no need to look at this man for a second time, and there is no need for Gu Jian to repeat the identity of this man for a second time. Lin Gongru has already confirmed the identity of the man.

Lin Xiao.

The young master that Gu Jian really served was the current head of the Lin family who had hidden his face and disappeared without a trace for seven months, no, maybe even longer.

He actually appeared here, not somewhere far away outside the Onmyoji House.

Why did he choose to appear at this moment when the house collapsed?

Lin Gongru stood still, a voice told him something was wrong, if possible, he must quickly escape from everything in front of him.

However, he was surrounded by chasm-like chasms, and he was on a cliff with no way to go, and it was impossible to escape.

He noticed that Gu Jian only lifted his foot and took a step, and then stopped hesitantly.

All the changes happened so fast that there was almost no time to give them a buffer to react and breathe.The shadow guard looked as puzzled as he was.

Gu Jian was driven by the obedience habit he had cultivated for many years, and instinctively wanted to get close to Lin Xiao who appeared out of thin air.

But he didn't know what was restraining him, he resisted the ecstasy and impulse in his heart, and froze at a step away from Lin Gongru.He raised his eyes to look at Lin Xiao opposite, he was used to seeing that fox mask at first, but this reunion was a little strange.

Lin Xiao couldn't wait for him to move further, the man's face darkened under the mask, and he said coldly: "What are you in a daze for? I'll call you over."

Gu Jian's body trembled, and being watched by the man, his footsteps seemed to be drawn, and he walked towards him involuntarily.This time he didn't stop, and with his head down, he hurried to Lin Xiao's side.

Lin Xiao said coldly: "I've been with a counterfeit for a long time, and I can't tell the real from the fake? Have you been making no progress like this, or is it because—"

He turned his head and glanced at the shadow guard standing behind him with downcast eyes, and said, "—— have you slept with this guy?"

Lin Gongru and Gu Jian were shocked at the same time, the latter raised his head in disbelief, forgetting that he was not allowed to look directly at each other, and blurted out: "Young Master, I..."

"I've seen it all." The other party interrupted him coldly, his tone was more of cold mockery and banter than resentment.For the first time, he looked the shadow guard carefully from head to toe, then turned his head to look at the stiff Lin Gongru, and clicked his tongue.

"What are you talking about being loyal to me, life and death? It turns out that as long as you are a man, you can have sex with you."

Gu Jian's face turned pale.

He opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, suddenly Lin Xiao covered his chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Scarlet blood fell on the ruined dead branches and flowers all over the place, which was particularly shocking.

Gu Jian immediately forgot everything, he took a step forward and tried to support Rin Xiao who was shaking, but the latter threw him away and stood firm with the remaining strength.

"Young master, are you injured...?" Gu Jian's voice trembled, and despite Lin Xiao's objection, he supported him again.

The man wearing the fox mask didn't break free this time, he gave Gu Jian a vicious look through the mask, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident: "I'll settle the score with you when I go back."

He took a few breaths, turned his eyes around, and fixed on Lin Gongru's body, as if he wanted to make him into a three-inch straw man with countless nails.

Facing his provocative gaze, Lin Gongru couldn't hold back anymore, and all the hesitation and vigilance just now were thrown into the sky.

He cursed: "What are you doing with him? You don't dare to take off your mask in front of him and show your true colors; if you leave a person here who he doesn't care about, you still have the face to pursue him for admitting the wrong person What if he admits his mistake? What did he do to you? Didn’t he always follow the rules and follow the instructions of you and your old man one by one? You hid in the dark and peeped so For a long time, didn't his every move fall into your eyes?"

Gu Jian held Lin Xiao by his arm, and his eyes fell on the real young master of his family with worry.It seems that I heard him talking, and it seems that I don't care what he said. There is only Lin Xiao in my heart, as if there is no one else around.

Seeing Lin Gongru's sourness, he almost couldn't continue with the words he planned to hate that guy: "Even in the stone room, he...he mistook me for you, so..."

Lin Xiaowu interrupted him, and smiled strangely: "Oh? At first I really thought it was me, but then?" He gave Gu Jian a sharp look, "I'm afraid some people pretend to be confused about this matter. "

Gu Jian's face had completely lost color.He shook Lin Xiao's hand slightly, and felt that the other party wanted to push him away in disgust, so he hurriedly grabbed him again.

Lin Gongru actually recognized the hint in Lin Xiao's words.

His heart moved, and he couldn't help looking at Gu Jian.However, the other party still tilted his head, facing him stubbornly, and he couldn't see the change of expression on this man's face.

Lin Xiao gasped and coughed again, and when he gasped, it seemed as if the ground was shaking slightly.The dark clouds above the head were getting closer and deeper, and hovered over the three of them alone. It seemed that the flat ground they were standing on had become a space isolated from the outside world.

The vision in the sky became thicker, and Lin Gongru heard lightning and thunder above his head, as if a downpour was about to fall.

He knew the situation was wrong, but he still didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Lin Xiao's gourd opposite him.

Lin Xiao gasped for a while, and pushed Gu Jian a few steps away, "If you hadn't allowed him to break through the gate of life, why would...cough cough, why would I activate the formation in advance..."

Formation?

What formation?

The ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, Lin Gongru secretly clenched his palms.He didn't have a weapon on him, so he was in a panic just now, and he had time to grab a few small stones in his hands. If he really wanted to fight Lin Xiao, it could be regarded as bare-handed.

What's more, Gu Jian...

Gu Jian must have helped him.

It's best to take advantage of that guy's coughing and coughing, and act first; as long as he has the upper hand, he might be able to force him to break out——

With a flash of thought in his mind, Lin Gongru raised his foot and was about to rush towards the man who was clutching his chest and coughing.

Who knew he was fast, Lin Xiao was even faster.

I didn't see how the man in the fox mask moved, it seemed that he just moved his lips slightly and chanted a few incomprehensible spells.

A shimmering yin-yang gossip formation suddenly appeared on the ground under Lin Gongru's feet, trapping him in the center, with his feet on the two poles of the sun and the sun.Lin Gongru knew it was going to be bad, and was about to rush out, but his feet were nailed in place as if rooted, unable to move.

Surprised and angry, "What kind of magic is this!"

He vaguely remembered that in the ancient book of Lin's family, he seemed to have seen a description of this kind of yin and yang array.

At that time, the book was vague, and did not clearly point out the method and use of the magic circle, but only mentioned it in a few words.Because the definition was too vague, he deliberately looked at it several times, wondering if it was "resurrecting the dead", how could it be "killing and hurting people"?

But at this time, seeing Lin Xiao coughing violently in front of his eyes, spitting out more blood every time; but he was trapped in the magic circle and couldn't move, he suddenly had a vague guess.

Gu Jian probably thought of this point, he suddenly raised his head to look at him, his eyes were straight, and he looked at him without avoiding or dodging.

Lin Gongru saw the same expression in his eyes.

Lin Gongru's heart felt hot and suddenly cold.

He asked in a daze: "... Gu Jian, did you... know about it a long time ago?"

"..." The shadow guard opened his mouth, but was unable to speak.

He was thrown in this yin and yang house built for the practice of the young masters of the Lin family, and was forced to practice their martial arts, practice their minds, recite their formulas and their Qimen Dunjia, step by step, get better and better. The more like the patriarch the Lin family wants to build, is it for the sake of one day, when the real young master of the Lin family is in trouble, he can exchange his life for his life?

Sure enough, just as he guessed, he was a double in the true sense——

A tingling sensation of electric current surged up from the soles of the feet, and the feet were as heavy as if filled with lead.

Lin Gongru couldn't move his feet, so he raised his head reluctantly, and saw Lin Xiao who was coughing and panting, and slowly stopped hemoptysis, with a pair of bewitching fox eyes, he looked at himself coldly from a distance of three feet.

He suddenly felt itchy throat, cleared his throat, but coughed out a bright red mouthful.

Lin Gongru coughed and looked at Gu Jian who was standing blankly aside. He didn't know why he was going crazy. What he was thinking about at this critical moment was not how to get out, but he was stupidly asking about the shadow who was focused on others. Wei, asked him: "You have been with me for so long... Are you deliberately making mistakes...?"

Gu Jian supported Lin Xiao's hand, and began to tremble slightly again.

Lin Xiao was keenly aware of the wavering in the shadow guard's heart, and raised his voice sharply, not only for Lin Gongru, but also for Gu Jian's admonition: "You think that you are kept in my Lin family's holy place of cultivation for no reason, teach You learn martial arts mentality and provide you with good food and drink, is it really a bargain?"

Lin Gongru couldn't take his eyes off, just staring at Gu Jian in a daze.

"I am destined to have a catastrophe. This disaster must be blocked by someone who is proficient in Lin's family. Otherwise, I will die at the prime of my life like my dead ghost father." Gradually, there was a dark feeling in the words. Meaning, "I was worried that no one would die for me, and I found you unconscious in the corner. Isn't this God's will?"

Even Lin Gongru's body began to slowly climb up to the rock-hard feeling, and his sense of smell gradually failed, and he couldn't smell the bloody smell that he spit out one after another.

This evil formation is really powerful.He thought, regretting that he was about to die when he had just made some progress; seeing Gu Jian out of the corner of his eye, he felt a burst of relief.

Fortunately, at least he died, so Gu Jian didn't have to die.

Gu Jian suddenly let go of Lin Xiao, and said in a low voice: "Rin's family learned, and the subordinates have learned [-]% to [-]% from their previous master."

Lin Xiao lost his support and couldn't react for a while.He stabilized his figure, and heard Gu Jian finish the next words calmly, just like he said to him "Life and death are inseparable" when meeting him for the first time.

Gu Jian said: "This fake young master has limited foundation, and he has only learned five or six at most. If he is used to kill the young master, I am afraid that the array will be exhausted, and it will not be enough to stop the young master's calamity."

He hugged the longevity tablet that he had been protecting tightly in his arms, suddenly turned his face, and smiled slightly at Lin Xiao: "—Gu Jian's life was given by the young master."

Lin Xiao realized what he was going to do, his eyes widened slightly, and his face under the mask changed several times.

Gu Jian could read what he was thinking from his ever-changing eyes, - what he said was right, the person in the Yin-Yang art circle was at most a half-baked guy, if he was used as a gift to worship the heavens, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to withstand this catastrophe.But it's a pity for Gu Jian, after all, he is the number one shadow guard trained by the old man himself, and if he stays by his side, he will be able to use him in other ways in the future...

Hesitation and calculation were repeatedly intertwined in those eyes, and Wan Duan's emotions flashed, but there was no cherishing or reluctance for him as a person.

Gu Jian lowered his head, and the tablet of longevity landed on the ground with a clang, and then he raised his head and walked to Lin Gongru's side.

He had watched over the young man for seven months and knelt on the ground on one knee. The weight on his body seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, making it impossible to lift his neck smoothly.He was short of breath, clutching the dust on the ground with one hand, unconsciously coughing up blood.

Gu Jian knew that he had gradually lost his five senses.

He reached in, touched Lin Gongru's face with his fingertips, hesitated for a moment, and rubbed gently along his cheek for a while.

Knowing that Lin Gongru couldn't hear, he still said in a very low voice: "I didn't lie to you. In the stone room, I am willing."

Mo Shu's fingertips lingered for a while longer, and the shadow guard suddenly exerted strength, grabbed Lin Gongru's arm and pulled it out.

Lin Gongru rolled four or five times on the ground, almost fell from the edge of the flat ground into the surrounding depression, and woke up suddenly at the last moment.

He hooked the edge of the ground to stabilize himself, and when he raised his head, his lost vision slowly recovered because he left the evil formation. At a glance, he saw Gu Jian lowering his head and biting the artery in his wrist, urging his whole body to use his strength, and the blood gurgling out would slowly activate the surgery. The burst of light was overwhelming.

Lin Gongru stayed for a moment before he came to his senses. The blood on his face and that of Lin Xiao, who was watching coldly, were both recovering rapidly at the same time, but Gu Jian's complexion was pale and his body was shaking like a candle in the wind.

Lin Gongru stumbled and wanted to rush over, but Lin Xiao picked up the collar at the back of his neck. The real young master of the Lin family is far more powerful than Lin Gongru. Picking him up is like carrying a kitten who is not yet an adult, and he is easily stopped. he.

"Don't move." He grabbed Lin Gongru by the collar and forced him to watch Gu Jian's figure gradually fade away like a cloud in the evil formation.In the end, the man turned his eyes around, and slowly moved from Lin Xiao's face to Lin Gongru's face, meeting his eyes.

Then he showed a faint smile.

Lin Gongru has never seen Gu Jian smile, neither has Lin Xiao.

All the strings in Lin Gongru's mind snapped at the same time at this moment, he suddenly bit Lin Xiao's wrist, the latter was in pain, subconsciously withdrew his hand, and saw Lin Gongru sprinting out like a tiger out of the gate.

The yin and yang array dispersed at the same time as Lin Gongru rushed over. Lin Gongru rushed towards the limp Gu Jian, but his hands passed through a transparent cloud again.

Inertia made him fall to his knees on the ground with a plop, his hands tightly clutching the empty air, his eyes red.

He thought he would call out Gu Jian's name, or turn around and fight desperately with Lin Xiao who was plotting everything.

But he opened his mouth several times, and what he really vomited out was the person who had hated him to the marrow and never forgot for a moment.

"Ying, Mo, Yan..."

Holding the air, he frantically searched the ground, trying to find any trace of Gu Jian's past existence.The eye circles were sore, but not a single tear came out.

He raised his fist fiercely and smashed it to the ground, the fist was smashed to pieces, and the blood was scattered all over the ground, but he didn't know it.

Lin Xiao heard him repeating a sentence that was like a curse or a whisper, and suspected that this person had lost his mind.

The young man covered in blood raised his head, like a lone wolf lost in the pack, hoarsely roared to the sky: "Ying Moyan——!!!!"
