Reborn Enemy

"Cultivation, you can't compare to me, calculate, you also lose."

The man threw the sword back into its sheath with a random wave of his hand, and the maid immediately retreated holding the sword.

The internal organs were shattered due to self-explosion, but there was no expected pain. He lay on his back on the ground, watching the man walk in front of him, and lowered his face slightly.

There was a pair of extremely bewitching eyes on that face, looking down at him condescendingly, his eyes were as indifferent as before, and his thin lips curved in a gentle and mocking arc.

"In this life and in the next life, you will always be the one who failed, Gu Pinglin."

failed?

The eyes that had been closed opened suddenly, he gritted his teeth and struggled, but his vision was already a blurry blank.

I can't let it go, I'm unwilling, I'm too unwilling!

"I didn't lose...the next life...if I could..." No one could hear his weak voice, even himself.

If there is an afterlife—

Gu Pinglin opened his eyes suddenly, but he didn't see the memorable face. The carriage under him was still bumping and shaking, making an ear-piercing "creaking" sound. This car was already very old and worn out. The person is very uncomfortable, and it is for the servants of the Gu family.

The two little hands were clenched tightly, and the palms were sweaty.

That's right, it's back.Gu Pinglin let out a long breath, tried his best to calm his frantic heartbeat, slowly spread his fingers, and calmly raised his head.

The two servants on the opposite side noticed that he was awake, they just glanced this way, then looked away and continued to chat and laugh.

Gu Pinglin is not angry because he has seen too many of these faces in his previous life. It is a blessing to be able to start again. Since he wants to pursue the Dao, what do he care about with these ants on the road?

How long will it be?I can't wait...

Gu Pinglin slowly closed his eyes again.

After about a cup of tea time, the outside began to become lively, and the carriage stopped soon.

"Here we are." The two servants hurriedly got up and jumped out of the car one after another.

"Hey, where's Young Master Jiu?" the coachman asked.

"Are you still sleeping, young master?" The young servant sneered.Born to a concubine, no one in the Gu family regarded him as a serious son.

The older servant hurriedly scolded in a low voice: "He's surnamed Gu no matter what, the master loves face the most, if you make that kid lose face, you and I won't be able to bear it!"

The young one apologized with a smile when he heard the words: "I'm not..."

Before they could finish speaking, the curtain of the car was lifted suddenly, and the three of them turned their faces to look at the same time, only to see the ten-year-old Xiao Jiu come out by himself.

Cultivation families are the most polite. On such an occasion, Mrs. Gu has to try to save face. Even though the son of a concubine and concubine is squeezed into the passenger car, it is rare for him to wear new clothes. His complexion was even worse, and Xiao Yinguan's hair was tied up high, but there was nothing wrong with it.

Probably he was born like his mother, with a melon-shaped face so beautiful that he hardly looks like a boy.

When Mr. Gu Jiu got out of the carriage, he subconsciously raised a pair of small hands, his thin body stood up straight, almost making people forget his age, and even his slightly pursed lips seemed to reveal a bit of majesty.A pair of big eyes looked straight at the tall and wealthy family not far away, their eyes were surprisingly bright.

This is really not like the silent kid in the usual.The three people beside the car were all stunned for a moment, and their hearts couldn't help but shudder.

Without waiting for the three of them to react, Gu Pinglin jumped out of the car and walked forward.

The high walls and wide stone steps of the Zhumen show the aristocratic atmosphere, and there is an endless stream of guests who come to congratulate, in addition to people from the cultivation world, there are even many distinguished guests from the mortal world.There are two rows of domestic servants standing outside the door, their clothes seem to be plain, but the materials are better than those of some guests. Every domestic servant is well-behaved and their smiles are just right. Regardless of whether the guests are high or low, they are respectful and respectful, and there is no lapse in etiquette. People who are not from the Wannian family will never have such cultivation.

Gu Pinglin stared at the pitch-black gold plaque and walked over step by step.

Duan family.

In my previous life, this was the beginning of my destiny turning point, but I didn't pay attention to that person at that time.

It turned out that everything was already doomed.

Met you, my old enemy.

"Mother, Xiao Jiu is here." Eldest son Gu Ping'an saw him and hurriedly reminded him.

Mrs. Gu glanced at Gu Pinglin coldly, and said to Master Gu: "Master, we are all here, let's go in."

Gu Pinglin was squeezed into the drop-off car and fell behind in the line, so it was natural that he came over later than the others.Master Gu was already impatient with waiting, he turned his head and cursed, "What are you waiting for?", turned his face and smiled again, and stepped forward to salute with the steward of the Duan family.

"A maidservant's son is a maidservant's son, stupid!" the second son Gu Pingsheng cursed in a low voice, he was born in a concubine's house, and he didn't think much of Gu Pinglin.

The male servant welcomed Mr. Gu and Gu Pingan and other adult male guests into the gate, and then a maid came up to the side door to salute Mrs. Gu, and led a group of female guests to the back. Mrs. Gu held the hand of her youngest son, Gu Pingzhen, He brought a group of underage concubines and maidservants into the backyard, and sat down to have tea.

After the maid left, Mrs. Gu turned her head and said in a low voice, "No one is allowed to make mistakes today, I remember everything clearly!"

She wasn't targeting Gu Pinglin. The mothers of these concubines were all alive, and some of them were still favored. They were even a thorn in Madam Gu's eyes. The concubine's reactions to her warnings were also different. Next, the quiet Gu Pinglin in the middle is much more pleasing to the eye.

The seats of the Gu family were arranged in a corner, and only then could the difference in how the Duan family treated different guests be seen.Compared with the largest family in the cultivation world, the Gu family can't stand on the stage at all. It is called a family to the outside world, but it is actually just a small family. It is just a chance. The ancestors obtained this low-level cultivation method, and the Gu family was able to gain a foothold in the cultivation world. .In front of a real aristocratic family, Mr. Gu has low self-esteem and longing, so he does everything possible to get posts, and rushes to make friends with the cheek, and must not allow his family members to make mistakes on such occasions.

Mrs. Gu recognized the wives of the two small families, and after admonishing the concubine, she hurried over to have a chat, while the young masters were ushered into the garden to play.

The garden of the Duan family is a mountain, with bamboo forests and flower gardens, small bridges and waterfalls, clear pools and water pavilions, with overhanging eaves faintly exposed among the dense branches and leaves.Among them, there are already many guests who are playing, and formation barriers have been set up in important places, and they are not afraid of outsiders entering by mistake, just in case someone gets lost, and there are servants on duty for each section of the road.

Sure enough, it was the same as in the memory of the previous life.Gu Pinglin followed the crowd and looked around, but he didn't see the person he wanted to see. He should be about the same age as him now, and he was probably accompanying the young princes of the family at this time.Gu Pinglin was not in a hurry, because there was a more important matter today, and he had to meet another person first.

The children of the Gu family had never been on a big stage, and they all behaved cautiously, only daring to play in the corner. Gu Pinglin got acquainted with the environment, took a cup of tea while watching Kong Kong, and walked towards the path in his memory.

"Where are you going, Xiaojiu, don't run around!" Gu Pingsheng saw it sharply and shouted, and everyone looked over immediately.

Gu Pinglin didn't panic, and said "internal urgency" lightly, ignored what the group of children said, and walked away.

"Go back and wait for Madam to punish you!" Gu Pingsheng sneered.

The road became more and more secluded as it went forward. Later, there were many fallen leaves on the ground, which showed that no one had cleaned it for many days.Years have passed, and the memory is a little fuzzy. Gu Pinglin has encountered a fork in the road several times, but now he is not the kid who walked around by luck.

There is a pavilion at the end of the road. The stone table on the pavilion is a chessboard. Two old men sit and play chess beside the table. It is the scene in my memory.

The old man holding the white stone was wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, his beard and hair were all white, and he was kind-hearted. At this moment, he was holding a white stone and didn't know where to put it, and he was very distressed.

Master.

Gu Pinglin's hands trembled, he quickly clenched his teacup and lowered his head.

This old man is Gu Pinglin's previous master, Yue Songting, head of the Lingxin Sect.Because of this chance encounter back then, Gu Pinglin was favored by Yue Songting, and he was able to join the Lingxin School and embark on the road. To Gu Pinglin, Yue Songting was like a reborn parent, the person he respected the most in his life.When Yue Songting passed his life, he passed on the headship to Gu Pinglin, but unexpectedly, Gu Pinglin provoked that person and brought a terrible revenge. Not only was he himself deprived of his Daomai dantian, but also the underground spiritual eyes of the Lingxin Sect. It was also destroyed, and the Spiritual School fell from then on.

The Lingxin school, which condensed the master's life-long efforts, was finally destroyed in his own hands, which was a heart disease that made Gu Pinglin feel guilty all his life.Seeing Master again at this moment, Gu Pinglin just felt ashamed to face it, and he was silent for a long time before he calmed down and walked over.

Yue Songting was only concentrating on playing chess, and kept his eyes on the chessboard. When he noticed someone coming, he said casually: "Bring a cup of tea, thank you."

Things developed exactly the same as in the previous life.Gu Pinglin lowered his head and answered in a low voice: "Yes."

Just as he was about to pass the tea, the old man holding the sunspot on the opposite side suddenly said, "I want it here too."

Now of course Gu Pinglin knows the identity of this person, he is the well-known Ming Qingzi in the cultivation world, although he is only in his fifties, he is actually much older than Yue Songting, with gray hair and black eyebrows, On his body is a loose white Taoist robe, with the bones of immortality on his side.

However, there was no such thing as Ming and Qingzi asking for tea in the previous life.

Gu Pinglin was only stunned for a moment, then calmly walked forward and put the cup of tea beside Yue Songting.The Duan family's tea is not bad, not to mention that Gu Pinglin deliberately chose his favorite Mao Ya this time.Yue Songting picked it up and took a sip, and really couldn't help but praise: "Good tea."

Probably too much for his taste, he couldn't help turning his head to look, suddenly surprised: "Hey, what a doll!"

Ming Qingzi raised his face when he heard the words, and frowned when he saw Gu Pinglin: "This baby..."

"Aptitude is good," Yue Songting threw away the pawn with joy, and pulled Gu Pinglin over, "Quickly tell me, which doll are you from, and what's your name?"

Gu Pinglin didn't dare to meet his gaze, lowered his eyes, and answered one by one in a respectful tone.

Yue Songting turned to Ming Qingzi: "How?"

Ming Qingzi didn't answer, but just stared at Gu Pinglin's face with some surprise in his eyes.

Gu Pinglin was well prepared this time, and calmly waited for those words.

Ming Qingzi withdrew his gaze, pondered for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "There is only a cup of tea, but he gave it to you but not to the old man. It seems that it is destined for you."

Yue Songting was overjoyed, and sighed again: "You know, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to break through in this life, my lifespan will be exhausted, but the Spiritual Heart Sect..."

"It is God's will, and Taoism is natural." Ming Qingzi gave Gu Pinglin another meaningful look, got up and said, "I am going to travel to the sea, and I came to see you specially this time. The matter is over, and it is time to leave. "

Hearing this, Yue Songting knew that he was hopeless. This was probably the last time the two of them would see each other. Yue Songting had been practicing Taoism since he was a child, and he was also transparent.

Ming Qingzi nodded: "With this friendship, if you have a destiny in the next life, I will take care of you."

It is really a great favor to have him guide you in the next life, and to be able to go on the road again.Yue Songting stood up solemnly, and bowed to thank him.

Ming Qingzi lifted him up with one hand, said "Let's go now", and then drifted away.

Here Gu Pinglin was in a daze.

Not because of anything else, but because Ming Qing Zi in his previous life commented on him as "being paranoid, causing great disasters, rarely getting a good death, and having a short lifespan".Yue Songting took pity on the talent, and finally took him into his sect. What happened later confirmed Ming Qingzi's words. His paranoid personality made him make a big mistake. Not only did he blew himself up to death, but the entire Lingxin sect was dragged down by him.

Why is this world different?

Yue Songting sighed inwardly, turned around to see him, and said with a smile: "Kid Gu, I'm leaving too, you can go back wherever you came from."

As in his previous life, he never mentioned the matter of accepting disciples.

Gu Pinglin came back to his senses, quickly glanced at his master, then quickly lowered his head, and answered softly: "Yes."

That glance couldn't help revealing too much emotion, Yue Songting was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, but he didn't ask anything, he just patted Gu Pinglin's head kindly, and then left.

It wasn't until the figure completely disappeared that Gu Pinglin raised his head and let out a long breath.

Yes, the past is like a bright mirror.Although he still has the obsession with winning or losing in this life, he will never use such a fierce method again. He wants to defeat that person openly, and more importantly, he must keep the spiritual heart, strengthen his heart, and prove the way again.

Suddenly, Gu Pinglin was relieved, the work here was over, when he returned to the original place, the young masters of the Gu family were no longer there, and even the guests who had visited before were much less.Looking at the time, it was the same as in the previous life, the banquet had already started outside, Gu Pinglin was lured there by the servants of the Duan family, when he went back, Master Gu felt ashamed and beat him severely.

Now……

Gu Pinglin smiled, it's just a meal, it's okay to miss it, Duan's snacks are placed everywhere, enough to satisfy your hunger.

A maid walked by with a tray, and when she saw him, she asked in surprise, "Whose young master are you, why don't you go to eat? Are you lost?"

Gu Pinglin didn't care about being treated like a child, and asked, "Your sixth son is eating out?"

"Sixth Young Master?" The maid saw that he was dressed in ordinary clothes, but his temperament was different from ordinary children. He must be a son of a prominent family, and the maid immediately became more gentle and respectful. Rest, can I take you there?"

Gu Pinglin politely refused, asked while walking, and arrived at the flower garden in a short time.

Sun and wind, flowers blooming.

The petals are falling all over the ground, and there are still thin petals flying by the side of the body with the wind, sticking to the clothes, and the fragrance floats in the air.

Among the colorful flowers, he saw that figure at a glance.

It was a young man of twelve or thirteen years old, a precocious genius, who no longer liked to play with children of his age, and was leaning on the embroidered recliner beside the railing with a book alone.

Peonies are blooming outside the railing, reflecting the plain clothes, the young master's face is more charming than the flowers.

Junxiu's face was slightly upturned. From this angle, his eyes obviously didn't fall on the scroll, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

Duan Qingming.

Gu Pinglin read these three words word by word in a low voice, unconsciously with a gritted smile.

It's him, it's Duan Qingming, the young Duan Qingming.

Even if it wasn't the tall figure in memory, the fighting spirit had already been aroused.This is the person who forced him to blew himself up in his previous life, and told him in that mocking tone when he was dying—you will always be the one who fails.

But, I'm back, holding your previous life's war contract in my hand, do you dare to accept it?

Gu Pinglin raised his eyebrows slowly, with his hands behind his back, and walked towards that person.

— Here I come, my old enemy.
