Mistaking the villain Xianzun as the object of salvation

Gu Xuecheng stared at Zhou Yue for a while, then pursed his lips and smiled shyly: "I'll listen to my brother, and I'll talk about it later, the future will last forever."

Looking at the handsome face full of trust, Zhou Yue felt very complicated. She didn't know what to say, so she stretched out her hand, stroked the other person's soft and thick black hair, and replied softly: "Well, the future will be long. "

After resting for a while, the two of them took Scarlet Heaven Sword and Guardian Sword Lotus along the way they came, and left the Valley of Asking Swords. The journey was safe and they didn't encounter any monsters.

After returning to Lingxi Peak, Zhou Yue immediately ran to the alchemy room, took out the medicinal materials such as Huang Guteng and Xuepingzi from the bottom of the box, prepared a calming soup that calms the mind and gathers energy, and sent it to Gu Ruhai respectfully. Gu Ruhai was very happy and gave some spirit stones.

Zhou Yue returned to Lingxi Peak with the pile of spirit stones in his hands, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, the medicinal materials used in the tranquilizing decoction he prepared were of average quality. Of course, he didn't dare to choose one that was too bad, lest Gu Ruhai find out about it.

Thinking of the condition of the medicinal materials, Zhou Yue looked at the light red "Blood Musk" that he just got in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, the condition of this product is too bad."

He spent a lot of spiritual stones and asked people to look for blood musk. A few days ago, he finally got a clue. Yesterday Songtao Temple sent someone to send a piece of it, but this piece of blood musk was actually light red.

The redder the blood musk, the better its appearance. Zhou Yue doesn't expect the best, even a piece of ordinary top-grade blood musk is fine, but this piece of blood musk is at best a middle-grade one. The baby ginseng, black tortoise shell, The guardian sword lotus is of the top quality, if it is hindered by this medium-grade blood musk and ruins the Ningxue Pill, it will be greatly uneconomical.

Zhou Yue didn't know what to do for a while, he couldn't refine Ningxue Pill for the time being, and he didn't want to put these precious medicinal materials in the alchemy room, so he planned to find a safe and secret place in his bedroom and hide it well.

Yuanshen's bedroom was very simple, even a bit messy. Zhou Yue was busy doing tasks after he came and didn't tidy it up. At this time, he rummaged around, trying to find a place to hide medicinal materials, when he suddenly let out a "huh".

There is actually a small hidden compartment on the bed board under the pillow.

Zhou Yue was very curious. He blinked, opened the hidden compartment lightly, and looked inside. There was actually a thick note inside. The edges of the paper had turned yellow, obviously it was old. .

The original body hid this notebook in such a secret place, could it be a secret book of cultivation?Or what kind of miraculous alchemy?

Zhou Yue simply took out his notes and read them by the bright candlelight, then he slowly frowned.

"On the twelfth day of the first lunar month in the year of Yiwei, after dinner, Gu Thief rested in the fourth wife's room. He went out when he was a child and did not return all night."

"On the ninth day of the twelfth month of the Dingyou year, Gu Thief got a treasure. He was very happy, so please pay attention."

"On the nineteenth day of the second month of the Gengzi year, by punishing Gu's son, he sneaked into Gu's bedroom. Gu turned around, but he didn't find it."

The more Zhou Yue looked at it, the more surprised she was. It turned out to be a book similar to "Life Notes", which recorded Gu Ruhai's every move. No, no, to be precise, it was a surveillance notebook, and the target person was Gu Ruhai. "Gu thief".

Zhou Yue flipped through the thick notebook, feeling extremely puzzled in his heart. He always thought that the original body was a drug-addicted waste who bullied the weak and feared the strong. The alchemy was taught by his elder brother, and his cultivation base was also piled up by his elder brother with panacea. Even Lingxi Peak The title of master also succeeded the elder brother's position.

But even if he became the peak master of Lingxi, the original body was still looked down upon by the other three peak masters, so he could only flatter Gu Ruhai, help Gu Ruhai abuse his son, and be Gu Ruhai's henchman. It was only then that I became strangers to Gu Ruhai.

Such a bullying waste, actually secretly spying on his immediate boss?

Zhou Yue was very curious and continued to scroll down.

This thick notebook is full of Gu Ruhai's whereabouts, basically what he did on that day, who he killed on that day, what magic weapon he got on that day, what elixir he got on that day, and on which day his swordsmanship advanced. , have very detailed records, and the time span is almost as long as eight or nine years.

The original body obviously spent a lot of effort, while paralyzing Gu Ruhai with the image of a bully and fearful dog, while using those gloomy eyes to spy on him secretly.

Zhou Yue turned all the way down, turned to the back, couldn't help gasping: "Damn!"

The third-to-last page is a detailed list of all Gu Ruhai's magic weapons, from the Qiankun sundial, to the Shura sword, to other small magic weapons, including the grade, effect, how to drive, and how to restrain the magic weapons.

As for the column of the Qiankun Sundial, it says: top magic weapon, manipulating the past and the future, no restraint method, unknown driving method, unknown master identification method.Later, with a cinnabar pen, he wrote "No Solution" in two bright red characters, as if the original body was helpless and very depressed.

On the penultimate page, there was a list of elixir in Gu Ruhai's hand, such as Wannian snow ginseng, purple blood centipede... everything, Zhou Yue looked at it, and suddenly his eyes froze.

The ultimate blood musk.

In Gu Ruhai's hand, there is actually a piece of top quality blood musk!

This is really just about to go to sleep, someone handed the pillow!Zhou Yue stared at the words "Extreme Blood Musk", and couldn't help swallowing. In fact, this is not surprising at all. Gu Ruhai, a senior monk who has been a rank eight gold elixir, has been the Lord of Lingxiao City for 18 years. There are a lot of treasures of heaven and earth, and a piece of top-quality blood musk is nothing.

Although it is nothing to Gu Ruhai, it is extremely important to Zhou Yue. He stared at the "extreme blood musk" on the note, salivating, but he couldn't think of anything to do, so he simply turned another page, and this page, It's the last page.

"This is too... amazing." Zhou Yue's eyes widened, and she was about to applaud Yuanshen.

This last page is actually a detailed map of Gu Ruhai's back residence!

The original body used the identity of a dog's leg, and often went in and out of Gu Ruhai's back house, doing things that a dog's leg should do, such as abusing Gu Xuecheng, flattering Gu Ruhai's concubine, going in and out more times, drawing a map is not uncommon, But on this map, even where there are formations, where there are seals, and even a secret room in Gu Ruhai's study, they are all marked!

There is also a line of small characters marked next to the secret room: on the thirtieth day of the winter month of the Renyin year, sneak into the secret room to investigate, and there are countless treasures of heaven and earth in it. The thief returned immediately and failed to investigate in detail.The thirtieth day of the winter month in the year of Renyin was exactly one month before my time travel.

Zhou Yue stared at the map, his mind was in a mess. Obviously, the original body had been monitoring Gu Ruhai for a long time, and even ventured into the secret room, but why did he do this?

Could it be that the original body was a spy from another sect?Or is it that Yuanshen is unwilling to be just a peak master, and wants to sweep away all of Gu Ruhai's treasures and escape to establish his own family?

But, let alone whether he will be hunted down by Gu Ruhai, if it is just for this purpose, if he pretends to be a bullying dog and lurks beside the vicious and violent Gu Ruhai for more than ten years, the cost of time is too high. With scheming and ruthlessness, you can't do anything.

Zhou Yue shook her head, not thinking about this question for the time being, and shifted her gaze to the words "Extreme Blood Musk".

Now that he knows that Gu Ruhai has a top-quality piece of blood musk, and has such a detailed map, he knows that the dark room where the other party keeps the treasures of heaven and earth is just behind the study... his uncle's, or his grandson's.

However, Gu Xuecheng couldn't let Gu Xuecheng know about the matter of stealing medicinal materials. Unlike entering the Sword Asking Valley to pick lotus, stealing things is not a matter of force, but boldness and carefulness. The fewer people who know, the better.

In the next few days, Zhou Yue studied the map carefully and memorized almost everything. The original body took very detailed notes, which wife's room Gu Ruhai stayed in every night, when the guards changed, and how the secret room was. Open, it has everything you need, more complete than the nanny-level strategy of the travel app.

After repeated research, Zhou Yue finally made up his mind to take action on the fifth night of the first lunar month, because that night, Gu Ruhai usually rested in the fourth wife's room and would not come back all night, and the chief guard in charge of patrolling was Gu Wu, who was relatively Relatively careless.

That night, Zhou Yue changed into a night gown, Yu Jian sneaked around to the back mountain of Lingxiao Peak, and then followed a small path to the outside of the back house quietly.

According to the contents of the notebook, he first easily sneaked into the yard when the head of the guard was on duty, and then dodged the cross-patrolling guards in the inner courtyard and slipped into the study.

There is no lamp in the study, and the cold moonlight casts in from the window, making it even more quiet.

Zhou Yue swallowed her saliva, and according to what was written in the notes, she gently rotated the suet white jade pen washer on the desk. Sure enough, with a soft sound of "Kakaka——", the tall bookshelf moved to the left and right, The dark doorway behind was exposed.

Zhou Yue took a deep breath and stepped into the doorway. After thinking for a while, he turned around and closed the bookshelf, lest the guards patrolling outside would notice anything strange.

It really is a secret room inside, the four walls are all majestic ebony multi-treasure grids, in which there are various magic weapons and elixir, such as daggers as thin as cicada wings, ginseng as thin as an arm, night pearls the size of a fist... Hui, a dazzling array of things.

Suddenly, Zhou Yue's eyes fixed on a blood-red thing.

The ultimate blood musk.

He was overjoyed, and reached out to grab it, but before he touched the blood musk, he quickly withdrew his hand, then tilted his head slightly, and looked carefully.

Sure enough, a faint golden light shone faintly on the side of Duobaoge. There was actually a seal on the Duobaoge. As long as he touched it, the seal would be triggered.

Zhou Yue was very disappointed. He tried his best to recall the contents of the note. It didn't say how to deal with the seal of the dark room. It seemed that the original body had only been here once, and before he had time to study it, he was transmigrated by himself at the scene of abusing Gu Xuecheng. .

Zhou Yue reckoned that he might not be able to get the blood musk today, but he was reluctant to leave, so he turned around and stopped suddenly.

The bluestone slab under his feet was actually movable.

Is there a secret room below?

Zhou Yue was so curious that he simply lay down and listened with his ears on the bluestone slab, but he didn't hear anything; then he tried to pick at the edge of the bluestone slab, but the slate didn't move at all; he knocked around again, There was no response either.

Zhou Yue still didn't give up, and tried to press the four corners of the pressing stone slab. When one of the corners was pressed, the slate made a soft "squeak—" and turned slowly!

Zhou Yue swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked down. Below was a dark stone passage, straight up and down, about a foot in radius, with a narrow iron ladder on it.

The secret room of the secret room is so cautious, what exactly is Gu Ruhai hiding underneath?Fierce beast?The ultimate magic weapon?

Zhou Yue stared at the dark hole, hesitated for a moment, and chose between "leave immediately" and "go down and have a look".

He grabbed the icy iron ladder and climbed down lightly. He went down seven or eight feet before finally landing on the ground. The surroundings were pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

At this moment, a low, tired but very pleasant voice came: "I have already said, don't come."

Fuck!Zhou Yue almost didn't pee in fear, he stood there blankly, for a moment he didn't know whether the opponent was a human or a ghost, and he didn't know whether he should turn around and run, or draw his sword to meet the enemy.

The other party was silent for a while, and seemed to notice something was wrong. Suddenly, there was a soft sound of "嗤——" and the candle was lit with a flick of a finger. Zhou Yue only felt that it was dazzling, and he couldn't see anything clearly for a while!

He subconsciously "swipe" out the spirit sword, but before he could swing it, he heard the other party lose his voice: "Xiaoyue?!"

At this time, Zhou Yue finally got used to the light, and gradually saw the situation in front of him clearly. The place he was in turned out to be a bedroom!

This bedroom is neither eerie nor extravagant, but very simple, just like the bedroom of an ordinary peasant couple, with hand-woven bamboo baskets hanging on the wall, a few bunches of dried corn hanging on the beam, and some Wearing a few coarse clothes, they are out of place with Lingxiao City.

On the big bed in the bedroom, there was a person lying halfway.

The man had long gray hair hanging loose, and was looking at Zhou Yue in surprise. His appearance was somewhat similar to Zhou Yue. He looked about thirty years old, with very melancholy eyes, but still gentle and handsome, but it was a pity that not only His hair was gray and half of his face was ruined as if he had been burned. He looked horrific.

Zhou Yue stared at that person, always feeling extremely familiar, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, as if a big hand was randomly flipping through his memory, he almost subconsciously murmured: "Brother?"

The man stared at him, his thin lips trembling violently: "Xiaoyue, it's really you, it's really you...you're fine, he didn't lie to me, he didn't kill you..."

Zhou Yue stared blankly at the other party, it was really that person, the older brother who died young, Zhou Ran.

Looking at the extremely familiar yet extremely unfamiliar face of the other party, he felt a sharp pain in his head, and a large mess of trivial memories flooded up. There was Zhou Ran who went down the mountain to get married, but was revenged by the demon cultivator, who set the whole wedding ceremony on fire, and Zhou Ran also died in the fire.

Zhou Yue had vaguely heard about the cause of Zhou Ran's death before, but he didn't think deeply about it. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Zhou Ran's coffin was also empty in the tomb valley. At that time, he and Gu Xuecheng thought that Zhou Ran's coffin was empty. He was also exhumed by Gu Ruhai, but it turned out that Zhou Ran was not dead, nor was he exhumed, but was locked in a secret room by Gu Ruhai!

Thinking of this, a bright flash of lightning seemed to flash across Zhou Yue's mind. Could it be that the original body was acting like a dog's leg while lowering its eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, while boldly monitoring Gu Ruhai, not because of those natural talents and earthly treasures, but because of some clues? , Looking for your big brother?

At this time, Zhou Ran tremblingly said: "Xiaoyue, come here and let the elder brother take a good look at you."

As he spoke, he tried to move towards Zhou Yue, his expression extremely agitated, but his legs didn't move. Only then did Zhou Yue realize that Zhou Ran's legs seemed to be useless.

In such an extremely weird situation, Zhou Yue should run away, but looking at the other person's appearance, he suddenly felt a burst of grief for some reason. He walked over slowly and sat down by the bed.

Zhou Ran raised his hand with great effort, caressing his face carefully, his eyes were eager and excited: "Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue, he really didn't harm you, you are still alive, and you have grown so big..."

Zhou Yue took a deep breath, unable to bear the heart, and unable to say that the original body was gone, she could only softly say, "Brother, what's going on?"

Zhou Yue gently stroked his face, and greedily looked at this younger brother whom he hadn't seen in more than ten years. Suddenly, his eyes turned red and tears rolled down his face: "Xiao Yue, I shouldn't have saved him back then."

who is he?Gu Ruhai?Just as Zhou Yue was about to ask, there was a very slight sound from above, as if someone had entered the secret room above his head.

Zhou Yue's heart thumped, and Zhou Ran's face changed drastically, and he lowered his voice and said, "He's here, don't make a sound."

After Zhou Ran finished speaking, he stuffed Zhou Yue into the pile of quilts behind him indiscriminately, and waved a seal on the quilt to isolate the breath, then put down the mosquito net, and extinguished the candle with a snap of his fingers.

In the darkness, Zhou Yue was covered in a thick quilt, holding his breath and concentrating, not daring to move, only feeling a heart beating fast and anxiously, and his mind was blank, didn't Gu Ruhai go to bed with the Fourth Madam tonight? , how did he come here?

There was a slight sound, as if someone had come down.

Then, Zhou Yue's eyes lighted up slightly. Although he was covered with a thick quilt, he could also feel that someone lit a candle with a flick of his finger, and a warm candlelight penetrated through the gap in the quilt.

The man spoke, and it really was Gu Ruhai's voice: "You lit the candles. Did you just read a book?"

Zhou Yue's heart skipped a beat, just now when Zhou Ran lit the candle, Gu Ruhai must have seen the melted tears of the candle.

Zhou Ran said lightly: "It's just boring."

Hearing Zhou Ran's answer, Gu Ruhai seemed to be in a better mood, and his voice was much lighter: "I have already said, brother Ran, you should not just lie in bed in a daze, you should read more books, play the piano, and go out to bask in the sun. "

Brother Ran?Zhou Yue was very puzzled, Gu Ruhai had always had eyes high above the top, was vicious and violent, and always called himself "this seat", but he actually called himself "I" in front of Zhou Ran, and also called Zhou Ran "Brother Ran"?

"Go out to bask in the sun? Go out like last time?" Zhou Ran sneered, "Give me back my leg, I just want to go out by myself."

Zhou Yue was dumbfounded, Zhou Ran's leg was ruined by Gu Ruhai?But why did Gu Ruhai look so humble again, and kept calling?

Gu Ruhai was silent for a while, and his tone was a little impatient: "How many times have I explained to you in these years? Back then, I hated it so much that my heart bleeds. I just wanted to set fire to Xie's house and that damned wedding banquet, but in the end you insisted To protect that woman, not to mention the burnt half of my face, but also want to run away with that woman... Since you always want to run away, that's the only way I can do it."

Zhou Yue's eyes widened, and she vaguely guessed something, between Gu Ruhai and Zhou Ran, could it be...

Zhou Ran sternly said: "Back then, I had already severed my friendship with you. Miss Xie's family treated me well. Even if she knew about those scandals, she didn't despise me and was willing to marry me. But you burned 130 and eight members of Xie's family to death!"

Gu Ruhai said tremblingly: "That woman seduced you and made you betray me, she deserves to die! But, you! You would rather destroy half of your face than protect her! Do you know how much I hate? I let her live, It's already for your sake!"

Zhou Ran gritted his teeth and said, "I betrayed you? Who is unwilling to become a Taoist couple with me in order to be the son-in-law of the Yu family? Who not only conceals our relationship, but also uses all means to please the young lady of the Yu family, even because Worried that Old City Master Yu is opposed to this marriage, and that Miss Yu's womb will be secretly married before they get engaged, so that Old City Master Yu has no choice but to agree?"

There was a heavy pacing sound, and Gu Ruhai seemed to be extremely irritable, walking up and down the room: "It's been more than ten years, how many times have I explained to you, it doesn't matter to hide our relationship, marrying Yu Ningxin Forget it, it's all for our future! Do you want to be subordinate to others forever, and be a little Lingxi peak master? Do you want me to be ordered by the surname Yu forever, and do what nonsense to do? "

"Forget it, what else can I tell you about a person like you." Zhou Ran said disheartened, "I only regret that I shouldn't have saved you back then."

The big bed swayed slightly, Gu Ruhai seemed to sit down beside the bed, and suddenly softened his voice: "Brother Ran, you treat me well, back then I was just a casual cultivator with a low level of cultivation, and when I accidentally met a demon cultivator, I was hurt. Seriously injured, you not only saved me, but also became my wife in that thatched cottage at the bottom of the valley. That was the happiest time of my life."

Zhou Yue was dumbfounded.

Zhou Ran didn't seem to want his younger brother to hear these secrets, so he reprimanded in a low voice: "Gu Ruhai, stop talking!"

"You don't want to hear it? Then I want to say it." Gu Ruhai became extremely paranoid in front of Zhou Ran, "At that time, I hurt my leg and couldn't have sex, so I just called Brother Ran a few times and begged for a while. You, you just take the initiative to sit in my arms and serve me like that..."

Zhou Ran was so ashamed and angry that he almost cried, "Gu Ruhai! You, you shut up! You, you still have to be shameless!!"

Gu Ruhai didn't listen to him at all, and continued on: "We practiced together at the bottom of the valley for a while, and most of my injuries have healed, but I don't want to go out of the valley, I just want to spend time with you in that thatched hut, and be an ordinary couple. Husband and wife, go out to hunt and collect herbs during the day, come back to have sex with you at night, and listen to you whimpering and calling my husband... There is nothing better than this in the world."

Even through a quilt, Zhou Yue could feel that Zhou Ran was shaking violently all the time, and she didn't know whether it was because she was ashamed of being stripped of all her self-esteem in front of her younger brother, or because she regretted the wrong rescue back then.
