The old Taoist priest who was smiling at Gu Zi'an steadily, saw that the other party was really walking towards him, his eyes showed a hint of approval, and he turned his head and walked towards the outside of Xifang City.

Of course, that hint of appreciation, in the eyes of Gu Zi'an, who was afraid and ready to die in an instant, was naked ridicule and contempt.

It's just that even so, even if fear made Gu Zi'an, a guy who couldn't do anything but ice all his life, feel heavy under his feet like lead, he still raised his legs regardless of it, followed the direction that the person left, followed his back, step by step, and chased after him unhurriedly.

The Taoist seems to have eyes behind his back, the faster Gu Zi'an walks, the faster he goes, the slower Gu Zi'an walks, and his pace will deliberately slow down.

It's like waiting for Gu Zi'an to catch up.

The two walked out of Xifang City one after the other, came to the street of Tinghu Town, and then walked out of the street and came to the path at the edge of the town.

The farther you go, the farther you go.

It was past noon, because he didn't eat breakfast, and he didn't sleep after working all night, Gu Zi'an was already hungry at the moment, and his body gradually became weak.

But the person in front was still walking, of course, his speed had slowed down a lot compared to the previous in the Fang Market, and he still maintained a pace similar to Gu Zi'an.

In this way, the two walked one after the other for nearly half an hour, and finally walked out of the scope of Tinghu Town completely, and there was not even a village with people living there, surrounded by reckless hazelnuts and lush forests.

The person in front of him slowly stopped, allowing Gu Zi'an to keep approaching until he walked in front of him.

"You are the owner of the blue and white flowers, right?" Gu Zi'an said weakly, he was very tired at the moment, he just wanted to find a place to eat something, and then lie down and sleep for a lazy night, at the moment it was very difficult to even open his eyelids, but he still struggled not to let himself fall asleep, and tried to stay awake.

"Yes, I am. The man nodded, and replied in a hoarse voice.

"Your target is a young woman, and I don't agree with this condition, so you're not here to kill me," Gu Zi stared at the man's eyes, trying not to show any fear.

"That's right. The man still said in the same tone, repeating: "I am not here to kill you, even if I want to kill, there is no need to lead you here, even if I stand in the crowd of Xifang City and attack you, no one can see that it is what I did, just like yesterday I smuggled the girl away from the crowd, right under the noses of many people, but they can't see anything." ”

"Then you have something you want me to do?" Gu Zi'an said.

The man still showed a smile of approval, and said, "That's right, you're very smart. Although you are just a half-Lingren, a small ice maker, and only a little bit of cultivation, you are really smart, more than you imagined

Much smarter. ”

"So what?" Since he followed the Dao man here with the heart of death, Gu Zi's panic in peace of mind was less, and instead of it, there was an innate instinctive calmness.

"Because you are smart, because you are thoughtful but out-of-the-box, and you are a good layout, I will choose you to do things for me. The man laughed.

Gu Zi'an said: "Anyway, what should I do so that you can let Xiaofu go?"

The man smiled, "It's just Qi Fu, you don't care if everyone else lives or dies?"

Gu Zi'an sneered, "Other people, what does it have to do with me?"

"That girl named Scopole also likes you, you won't be unaware, right?" said, "The reason why he came to me to buy that blue and white is to make it more beautiful and attractive to you." ”

"You're lying," Gu Zi'an said: "If Scopole really likes me, after she buys the blue and white flowers, she won't share it with Xiaofu, otherwise, even if the two become more beautiful together, then she still doesn't have any advantage in front of Xiaofu." ”

"I'm not lying, you know best in your own heart whether that girl likes you or not, don't you?" And the girl called Scopole, the reason why she would tattoo the blue and white flowers to that Qi Fu is just because she is not ruthless enough, not desperate enough, the arrogance in her heart is too strong, if she wins Qi Fu with blue and white flowers, it proves that she is not sure that she is not sure to beat her under equal conditions, which is absolutely disdainful of a woman who is proud of her heart, even if the price of giving up the beauty advantage brought by blue and white flowers, it may be that she is completely missed out on you, compared to the Qi Fu who is obedient and will not do anything except obedience, in fact, I appreciate her a little more。 ”

"It's your business that you appreciate scopole, and I like Qifu, it's my business. Gu Zi'an said: "I don't care about other people's lives or deaths, and I don't have the ability to care, as long as Xiaofu lives, for this, no matter what price I pay." ”

"What if I want you to die?" The man said playfully: "If you die, Qi Fu can only continue to stay in Qiao's Mansion as a girl, even if I let her go, when she reaches the age of leaving the mansion, Qiao Fengjian will marry her to other men as wives, maybe you don't know anyone, maybe it's someone in Qiao's Mansion, maybe it's someone you hate, can you be willing?"

"If it's really what you say, of course I'm not reconciled. Gu Zi'an sneered, "But I believe, I believe that Xiaofu will never do that voluntarily, she is just a mortal, helpless, her life is out of her own hands, she can't disobey the master's orders and has no strength to resist all this, I can understand, so, although I am unwilling, I am still willing to exchange her life." ”

"If you are not willing, are you still willing?" the man muttered.

Gu Zi'an repeated very calmly, "Although I am unwilling, I am still willing." ”

When he finished saying this sentence thoroughly, somehow, he felt a lot more relaxed, and even a smile appeared on his face with a heavy expression.

His life was uneventful, in this matter

Before it happened, it was safe and stable.

I haven't done anything heinous and bad, and I haven't done anything earth-shattering.

is neither good nor evil, unclear and unclear, and has lived to the present in a daze.

Before this, he never thought that one day, he would make the decision to die for a person without utilitarianism, before this, he did not have such courage, and he was definitely not so selfless.

But at this moment, at the moment when this sentence blurted out, Gu Zi'an suddenly felt that he had it, whether it was courage or selflessness, he had it, and he felt unprecedented fear in his heart, but at the same time, he also felt that he was a little great like never before.

"Do this for me, you may not really die," the man smiled: "But my matter is extremely dangerous, you must be prepared to die at any time, of course, if you are smart enough, and the layout is careful enough, it may not be impossible to save a small life, and come back to see your Qi Fu girl." ”

Gu Zi'an said: "You say, no matter what it is, I will help you do it." ”

As soon as he raised his hand, a cyan eye appeared in the palm of his hand.

And on his own face, a left eye, which was still there, had now turned into a black and hollow hole.

Even though he had already given himself a certain amount of preparation in his heart, knowing that he might see something contrary to common sense, Gu Zi'an couldn't help but gasp at the moment, and took three or five steps backwards under his feet, almost sitting on the ground, and the fear and horror in his heart calmed down a little.

"Bear with me!" As soon as the words in the man's mouth were finished, and as soon as he pointed out, a clear light appeared in his hand, and as soon as it appeared, it immediately hit Gu Zi'an's left eye.

Severe pain, with screams constantly echoing in the mountains and forests, Gu Zi'an, who was tired, hungry, nervous, and frightened, fell to the ground and fainted under the stimulation of severe pain.

Several hours passed in a flash, and when Gu Zi'an woke up on the next day, he found himself lying on his bed.

Subconsciously raised his hand and touched the position of his left eye, which was intact, even if he deliberately closed his right eye, he could still see everything around him clearly.

Even, the vision of my left eye is many times better than that of my right eye.

Many things that are not usually noticed at all are almost visible under the powerful visual ability of the left eye.

Gu Zi'an subconsciously remembered the blue eyeballs in the palm of the Taoist's hand, and he immediately touched his left eye, and suddenly had a bold guess in his heart.

When he arrived at a basin of clear water, he brought his face to the water's edge to take a look, his dark pupils, constantly turning with the change of his vision, no matter how he looked at it, it was no different from his right eye, and everything seemed to be the same as usual.

Could it be that yesterday's events were just a dream? It was because I was overly worried

Thoughts, dreams, everything happens only in dreams?

Gu Zi'an left the hut where he slept every day, came to the courtyard, opened the door to the underground ice cellar, and followed the stairs below all the way to the ice cellar.

Countless ice cubes were neatly stacked together, pots of ice fruits, cans of ice drinks, carefully counted, at least the amount he had worked for half a year in the past.

Even if it's sleepwalking, it's definitely not something you can do in one night.

"Daoist!" Gu Zi'an said to himself: "It must be that Daoist." ”

At this moment, he subconsciously touched his left eye again.

Since all this is true and not a dream, then there is no doubt that his left eye at the moment must be the left eye of that person.

But what is it that the Taoist wants to do for himself?

Gu Zi'an didn't know, but he knew that when it was time for him to do something, even if he didn't ask anything, that person would definitely appear and tell him everything.

Thinking of this layer, he smiled lightly, took some ice fruits and ice drinks, and took some crushed ice from the ice cellar, put them in the bronze ice book beside him, got up and left the cellar with the ice book.

Yesterday he obviously didn't eat anything, but now, he is not hungry at all, Gu Zi'an knows in his heart that this is about the handiwork of the Taoist who sent him back, so he didn't think too much about it at the moment, holding the bronze Bingjian in his arms, picking up the time when there were still nine days to come to the door, and walked in the direction of Qiao's mansion.

Of course, in this bronze ice book, all the water is turned into ice, and there is no starlight water of Ruyi Lake in it.

But for Gu Zi'an, with Bingjian, as well as the ice drinks and ice food in Bingjian, he has enough reasons to enter Qiao's Mansion.

From afar, the guards and the porter who came out to chat saw Gu Zi'an, who was walking slowly with Bingjian in his arms, and raised his arms and waved his hand, which was regarded as greeting him.

In the past, if Gu Zi'an made extra ice food, he would also run to Qiao's mansion with the bronze ice jian, and generously share it with a group of acquaintances, under the big bullhorn volcano that is summer all year round, and no one will refuse a free benefit, so his Gu Zi'an's popularity in Qiao's mansion is also very good.

Gu Zi'an walked unhurriedly to the front of the mansion door, opened the lid with a smile, took out a few ice fruits from it, and threw them to the brothers guarding the door and the gatekeeper as usual, and said with a smile: "I'll go to the west courtyard to deliver some fruits?"

"Okay!" the porter laughed, "Who stopped you?"
