Reborn Enemy

On Xiaoci Mountain, Nan Zhu stood outside the Penglai Palace, her expression was filled with joy, when she saw Gu Pinglin, she laughed and greeted him, patted him on the shoulder, and walked towards the door with his arm: "I went back a while ago. Penglai, Qiniang said that she likes snow, so I had no choice but to accompany her here again, and I heard you were here after only two days."

Gu Pinglin said: "My Madam..."

"Your sister-in-law is pregnant, and she has been tired recently, so I didn't let her out, so don't mind." Mentioning this matter, Nanzhu couldn't help laughing.

Gu Pinglin immediately cupped his hands: "So there is such a good thing, congratulations Brother Nan."

Nan Zhu stopped her smile and sighed: "But since she was pregnant, she has not been in good health. Ming Qingzi said that her pregnancy might be in danger and she didn't know where it should be. I was really worried, so I let her rest inside. on."

"Your Madam must be auspicious." Gu Pinglin changed the subject, "Tianji counts Ming and Qingzi, is he in Penglai?"

Nan Zhu said: "He traveled all over the world, happened to go to Penglai to buy medicinal materials the day before yesterday, and then left again, why, you want to find him?"

Gu Pinglin always remembers the different comments made by Ming and Qingzi in this life, and he also wants to see him. Now that the road is hopeless, maybe he can ask him to spy on the secrets and point out a clear way for him.But luck is destined, since he has already left, Gu Pinglin didn't force it: "It's just a long time to admire your name."

"I asked them to set up a drink, and have a few drinks with you tonight," Nanzhu noticed Lan Feiyu, "this is..."

Gu Pinglin said: "The guard hired by the Sword King Pavilion is Wu Jiansan."

Nanzhu's eyes flashed when he heard the words, and he smiled at Lan Feiyu: "It turns out that he is a master of the Sword King Pavilion. I heard that the master of the Guige Pavilion is unparalleled in swordsmanship, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance to see it."

Lan Feiyu just raised his hand.

"My palace is fairly safe. I don't need guards. Let this friend go down to rest, and we brothers can talk." Nan Zhu finished speaking, and waved for a maid, asking him to take Lan Feiyu to the guest house to settle down.

Lan Feiyu looked at Gu Pinglin, saw him nodding, and then followed the maid.

After he left, Nanzhu immediately turned to Gu Pinglin with a solemn expression: "I was about to ask you about the Sword King Pavilion, is that pavilion master really the Sixth Master Duan?"

Sooner or later he would know.Gu Pinglin didn't hide it from him: "I look similar, but he no longer recognizes me, maybe it's because of the injury that year."

Nanzhu sighed: "If you hadn't said it yourself, I would never have believed it. I had seen it before..." He also knew that the corpse could be disguised, so he didn't go on. A sword shakes the cultivation world. Now that he founded the Sword King Pavilion, it will only become stronger. You had no choice but to take revenge. Even if he wants to take revenge, it has nothing to do with you and me. To tell you the truth, when I first came to the land realm, I was constrained everywhere. If he can really change this situation, it will be good for me."

Gu Pinglin knew that his unreserved attitude towards him was also affected, so he didn't answer, just laughed it off.

Nanzhu obviously didn't regard Duan Qingming as a threat, and quickly changed the topic, and took Gu Pinglin to visit Xiaoci Mountain. It can be seen that he is in a very good mood and looks very happy.

Gu Pinglin asked casually: "Is Mrs. Ming in the palace?"

"Here, I'm with your sister-in-law." Nanzhu seemed to understand something, and raised her eyebrows with interest. "In the past, you rejected her good intentions. Could it be that now..."

Gu Pinglin neither admitted nor denied it: "Brother Nan is joking."

Nanzhu said: "There's nothing to be ashamed about this kind of thing, you're too thin-skinned."

Gu Pinglin said: "Brother Nan, stop talking nonsense. If the father and daughter have no intentions, it will not be beautiful."

Nanzhu snorted coldly: "It's different now, you are the head of the Lingxin Sect, it's her blessing to see her, and Shun Shigong dares not do anything, if you don't want to speak up, I will... ..."

"No trouble," Gu Pinglin interrupted him, "It's more interesting to do this kind of thing by yourself."

Nanzhu laughed loudly when she heard the words, and put his arms around his shoulders: "I said you are not such an honest person."

Xiaoci Mountain has a beautiful scenery, with flowers hanging on branches and streams shining. The two stopped and talked about what happened in Xiujie recently.Gu Pinglin felt it secretly, and found that the aura in the mountain was more abundant than last time.Nan Zhu ordered the banquet to be set up, but in the evening, two maids suddenly came to report that Madam was unwell.

Nanzhu became nervous: "Isn't it okay to wake up early? What's the matter with your father and daughter?"

The maid bowed her head.

Nanzhu was worried, and looked at Gu Pinglin in embarrassment: "This..."

Gu Pinglin said wittily: "Madam's health is important, brother Nan should go and have a look."

"I've neglected you this time, we brothers will have another drink tomorrow." Nanzhu stretched her eyebrows, and ordered the maid to send Gu Pinglin to the guest room.

Gu Pinglin followed the maid and asked casually, "Where's my guard friend?"

The maid replied with a smile: "Master Gu, don't worry, he is fine in the guest house. The island owner ordered you to be accommodated in Panxi Xiaozhu, which is close enough to drink with you."

Gu Pinglin said "hmm" and stopped asking.

Panxi Xiaozhu was built on the bank of the stream, and the stream turned sharply back here, half-enclosing the Xiaozhu, the maid left, and Gu Pinglin stood alone by the curved railing, looking across the water at a few flowers and trees on the opposite bank, which was quite peaceful.

Not long after, footsteps sounded behind him.

Gu Pinglin turned around: "Daughter, don't come here without any problems."

After not seeing each other for many days, Mrs. Ming is even more haggard than before. She walked up with a smile: "The island owner specially ordered me to see if the head of Gu is settled properly. I think the purpose of coming to the head of Gu is to misunderstand him."

"Under the circumstances, in order to avoid suspicion from the island owner, I have no choice but to wrong the father-in-law," Gu Pinglin cupped his hands, "I received a letter from the Taoist temple the day before yesterday, and I knew it was the father-in-law's plan."

Mrs. Ming shook her head: "I can't hide this from Master Gu, but there is one thing you must not know." She stopped and said in a low voice, "Grandmaster Pingcang has just passed away."

Gu Pinglin was a little surprised. Thinking back to Nanzhu’s chatting and laughing appearance just now, it turned out that it was a relief. Looking back at Nanzhu’s big wedding in the past, Pingcang Gong found out that there was something wrong with the Ji family, so he condescended to ask him for advice. Everything seemed like yesterday. Hirabayashi couldn't help sighing.Duke Pingcang was loyal to Nanzhu all his life, devoted himself to preserving the foundation of Penglai, and tried his best to fight Liu Yugong and Shunshigong, but he never expected to end up in such a miserable end.It is true that Nanzhu is suspicious by nature, who knows that he also has a heart of jealousy towards this hard-working veteran.

Things hurt their kind, Ming Gong and Daughter showed a sad look: "Pingcang Gong has behaved abnormally in recent years, and his Taoism is no longer, this is also expected..."

Gu Pinglin interrupted her suddenly: "Emissary Jun Ling has come back?"

Mrs. Ming did not hide it from him: "On the night of Duke Pingcang's death, he did come back once, and then left again. You also know his current identity. The Tiancan Sect is not easy to mess with."

Jun Muzhi has already discovered that Nanzhu is abnormal, but he did not show any abnormality. He is also a smart person.Gu Pinglin said: "In other words, the news of Duke Pingcang's death had not yet spread."

What did Minggong and Daughter realize: "The envoy of the king is affectionate and righteous. It is not surprising that he must always pay attention to Penglai's movements in secret." She said this, but her eyebrows were already frowned, and she said after a long while: "I don't care about it now. After these things, the island owner lost his mind and has become a puppet of the Ji family. The head of Gu and the island owner have a long-term friendship, and I hope to help him."

Gu Pinglin said: "Isn't there some progress in delivering the letter to me?"

Mrs. Ming shook her head: "I did try to start with Madam, but she still didn't respond."

"It's a good reaction not to betray you."

"But she refused to rescue the island owner."

Gu Pinglin said: "It's natural to have concerns if you intend to do nothing."

Mrs. Ming said: "I think so too. After all, she was born in the Ji family. She was rejected by Qi Shisan at the beginning, and she married the island owner out of desperation. I'm afraid she doesn't have much for the island owner..."

"She's pregnant," Gu Pinglin interrupted her. "A woman who is willing to give birth to a man, doesn't care about Ming and Qingzi's reminders, and doesn't care about herself, don't you understand?"

Mrs. Ming was stunned for a moment, and said: "An ambitious woman like me is not very kind, and I have never given much sincerity to any man. Is Mr. Gu laughing at me?"

Gu Pinglin asked: "Am I kind?"

The two smiled at each other.

"Above the road, it's just that each has his own persistence, and each chases what he cares about," Mrs. Ming thought for a while and said, "Since the head of Gu said that, I have some understanding, but what is she worrying about?"

Gu Pinglin knew it in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud: "It's just that the time has not come yet. In my opinion, you don't have to worry about it."

"Hearing you say it so easily, I'm really relieved," Mrs. Ming sighed, "Then I'll go back first, and I won't disturb your rest." She took two steps, then turned around and smiled: "Gu The sect master is so knowledgeable, but it is a pity that I am not destined, and I don't know who is destined to walk with the sect master Gu, thinking that you will take the initiative to chase her, I am a little jealous."

Gu Pinglin was stunned for a moment, and soon his expression returned to normal: "My daughter-in-law was joking."

Mrs. Ming left with a smile.

Knowing the whereabouts of Jun Muzhi and Zhou Yi by accident, Gu Pinglin didn't expect to be rewarded this time, so he went back to his room to sit quietly in a good mood.Now he is not too attached to cultivation, trying to enlighten Tao is just a habit, the result is not as expected, still nothing.

In the middle of the night, Gu Pinglin suddenly opened his eyes, got up and walked out the door.

There was a man standing beside the curb.

"Mrs. Ji." Gu Pinglin cupped his hands.

That person turned around, it was Ji Qiniang.Today, she is dressed gorgeously and brightly, she can no longer see the appearance of the charming girl in the past, reflecting the deserted pearl light, her eyebrows and eyes are a little more cold: "Master Gu hasn't slept so late."

Gu Pinglin stepped forward: "Madam arranged for me to live here, and without seeing Madam, of course Gu Jiu dare not sleep."

Ji Qiniang turned to look at the flowing water outside the fence.

Gu Pinglin stood beside her, and said: "The Lord of the South Island only married you for Penglai in the past, with impure motives, but now he is reaping the fruits of his own will, so you don't have to feel guilty."

"Shouldn't it be you who feel ashamed?" Ji Qiniang said coldly, "You actually knew where Qi Shisan was back then, and even brought him into Penglai to watch me get married."

Gu Pinglin said: "Luohua has intentions, but running water is ruthless. Madam is a smart person, why force it?"

Ji Qiniang looked up at him suddenly: "If he didn't run away, how do you know he won't like me?"

Gu Pinglin said calmly: "I only know that even if Qi Shisan is brought back to the Qi family, your father will no longer agree to you marrying him. From the moment he escapes marriage, you are no longer possible, and your fate of entering Penglai is also over." Doomed."

Ji Qiniang took two steps back as if struck by lightning.

Seeing this, Gu Pinglin sighed, and stepped forward to help her: "I'm sorry, having obsessions is really harmful to you, and Gu Jiu had no choice but to make such a bad plan."

Ji Qiniang pushed his hand away, tears welled up in her eyes: "Am I ridiculous?"

Gu Pinglin frowned: "No, I admire your desperate courage that day, but the so-called planning is up to man, and God is up to success. Even the road cannot be spared, let alone this kind of thing? Since you have tried your best to fight for yourself, even if you fail, This life is not in vain."

Ji Qiniang gradually calmed down, looking at the woods on the other side, her expression was confused, she didn't know whether she was missing the girl's mind back then, or worried about the choice she faced.After a long time, she spoke again: "You're right. I should have let go of it long ago. All these years, I just used this as an excuse to ignore the fact that I was ashamed of Nanzhu. Qi Shisan didn't want me. Although he married me For Penglai, he gave me face and status, and I used him from beginning to end."

Gu Pinglin said: "Madam has no other choice."

Ji Qiniang bowed her head: "I decided to have this child precisely because I felt ashamed of him, and I wanted to at least keep Penglai..."

Gu Pinglin interrupted her: "Brother Nan is dead, can the child live?"

Being said to be the center, Ji Qiniang finally looked at him, feeling powerless: "Anyway, he has treated me well these years. You are his most trusted friend. Can you find a way to save him?"

"We are friends, but you are his wife," Gu Pinglin said, "Isn't his life in your hands?"

Ji Qiniang was silent.

Gu Pinglin said: "You are afraid. Saving him is betraying the Ji family. If he wakes up, he may no longer love you so much, and even hate you."

With her fingers clasped tightly on the railing, Ji Qiniang turned her face away.

Gu Pinglin said: "This kind of technique only magnifies the original emotions in people's hearts and leads them to extremes. Brother Nan has no reservations about me now because he already has some trust in me."

Ji Qiniang turned to look at him: "Really?"

"Every sentence is true, but I'm not sure how much he treats you with such affection." Gu Pinglin looked at the night with a cruel voice, "Choose him and the child, or the Ji family, you can only choose."

Ji Qiniang was stunned for a while, turned around and went back without speaking.

Gu Pinglin lived in Xiaoci Mountain for two days, then found an excuse to leave, and hurried back to the Lingxin School. When the two arrived on the long street outside the mountain gate, Gu Pinglin immediately realized that something was wrong.

There are people coming and going on the street, and it is too lively.

"Someone is watching," Lan Feiyu lowered his voice, his eyes darkened, "What should I do?"

Gu Pinglin sneered and walked straight forward.

In the blink of an eye, the bustling street became empty, and all the pedestrians disappeared. The dozen or so disciples who were following were on guard, with nervous expressions.

"Enchantment!"

"It's the array technique," someone sighed, "The Spiritual Heart Sect is better than the array sword technique, we have been discovered."

……

Ying's, Zhenshui Sword Sect, Liudaomen...these disciples come from different sects, even the Xuanming Sect. They openly monitor the Lingxin Sect, which surprised Gu Pinglin.

Lan Feiyu also recognized it, wondering: "What are they trying to do?"

Gu Pinglin frowned and looked at it for a moment, then kicked a stone outside the store back to its original position, and withdrew the magic circle: "Let's go."

Those disciples were warned and did not dare to follow. The two walked up the mountain along the stone path, and saw Mu Shiqing and a few young disciples waiting at the mountain gate from a distance.Mu Shiqing is no longer Yujian 33. As a direct disciple of the head of the Lingxin Sect, he is highly valued and has a high status. However, he seems to have not changed compared to usual, still silent and expressionless.Seeing Gu Pinglin, he immediately led his young disciples to meet him.

Gu Pinglin stopped everyone from saluting, and asked, "Any guests?"

Mu Shiqing glanced at Lan Feiyu, bowed his head and replied: "The master of the Sword King Pavilion came to visit and has lived on the mountain for two days."
