45. Yuan year
In the Hibiscus Dock, a beautiful scenery is picturesque.
Gu Yuan was dragged by traffickers to the door of a large family, standing with a group of terrified children, and some did not know who had spent a lot of money to buy them. After hearing the voice, he looked up, and saw an elegantly dressed adult coming from afar, his eyes turned between several people, and he nodded with great satisfaction, and threw a silver tael to the foreman, and praised it without saltiness: "Not bad." ”
The trafficker received the money, immediately bowed with a smile on his face, and left satisfied.
After a while, some attendants came, and brought them back to the courtyard to freshen up carefully before leading them to their future master.
When Gu Yuan saw Liu Chengen for the first time, he only felt that he was a well-informed and merry scribe, but he couldn't see through the thoughts behind his gentle and elegant face, and he unconsciously left a little more vigilance. Seeing the other children happily take over the new clothes, his eyebrows frowned, and he never hesitated to reach out to take it.
"What, don't like it?" A word fell into my ears, and when I looked up, I saw a gentle and smiling face, and there was pity and concern in his eyes.
Gu Yuan glanced at him, didn't give a look, but finally accepted the clothes silently.
Liu Chengen glanced at him with amusement and asked with a smile, "What's your name?" ”
was silent for a long time, but this person was too patient and never had the intention of leaving, so he had to answer: "Gu Yuan." ”
Liu Chengen nodded, his expression was a little meaningful, and he didn't ask any more.
After changing their clothes, everyone was quickly gathered into a room.
The children looked around and were stunned, only to see that the walls were covered with all kinds of sharp weapons, glowing with cold light, stinging their eyes.
These people didn't buy them to be ordinary servants!
Gu Yuan had already reacted in a moment, and a feeling of extreme uneasiness had just come up, and he subconsciously wanted to turn around and escape, but was stopped by the person who was guarding and pushed back with his backhand.
A man in a black sweatshirt looked at them coldly, and even his tone was cold: "No matter what method or means are used, you can only leave here alive if you stay in the house for three days." Of course, I hope that there will still be people alive...... Scold. ”
The moment his weird sneer fell, several people poured in in an instant, and one tightly held the children, and then unexpectedly took out a bottle of strangely shaped potion and opened it, and poured it into everyone's mouth.
The jerky smell of medicine enters the mouth and flows down the throat into the body.
Gu Yuan only felt a feeling that the world was spinning. The scene in front of him became swirling and distorted, and when he looked around, his immature faces seemed to suddenly distort, accompanied by the violent emotions surging in his body, and his eyes seemed to leave only a strong scarlet killing.
With a roar of returning to their nature, someone had already risen from the rolling struggle on the ground, grabbed the weapon on the wall like crazy, and stabbed it straight at the other children who were in pain next to him.
At the same time as the blood and qi flooded, the excitement in the chest seemed to be aroused more and more, and the sound of wild laughter was accompanied by a cry of pain, and in just a moment, the originally silent room suddenly became like a terrifying Shura purgatory.
Gu Yuan held on to the last trace of his consciousness, avoided the slaughter that hung by a thread again and again, and tightly locked his double holes, so as not to let the killing intent that almost broke out of his chest occupy his last trace of sobriety.
Everybody's crazy.
He struggled in the pain of his skin cracking, grabbed the long sword beside him to block the fatal slash, and stabbed into the stump that seemed to have lost consciousness, his eyes scarlet.
The endless slaughter lasted for a whole day, and in the end only a few children who were still a little conscious were left to survive, and those who had lost their minds in a frenzy were all lifeless corpses on the ground.
On the second day, the blood in the whole body felt like life was worse than death, and someone cut his throat with a knife and cut his life alone.
When the door opened on the third day, only Gu Yuan was left in the house, and another boy who was holding his consciousness but had a weak breath.
Even though he had lost a leg, Gu Yuan knew very well that the child was still extremely eager to live, so much so that the moment the door opened, he could faintly see the light in his eyes full of hope.
Liu Chengen walked in and took in the full view of the situation in front of him, but he glanced at the boy, handed the long sword in his hand to Gu Yuan with a smile, and said mildly: "Kill him, and you will win." ”
Not to ask, not to give him a choice, but to give a bland command.
The color of the boy's eyes seemed to dim for a moment, leaving only intense panic and pleading.
Gu Yuan's chest churned, he raised his head and coughed up a mouthful of blood, walked up to him with a long sword, looked at the last trace of hope in the other party's eyes full of despair, and cleanly sealed his throat with a sword.
His clothes were already stained with blood, and when he looked up at Liu Chengen again, it seemed that his hands were not stained with the slightest blood, and his eyes asked without a trace: "So, you are satisfied." ”
Behind him, there was a bloody eye like Shura's purgatory, stepping on the ground like this, with a blank and traceless look on his face, no mercy for the dead, and no joy for survival.
Liu Chengen lowered his eyes and looked at him, and the corners of his lips curled with satisfaction: "I am very satisfied." Ten days later, it will be the apprenticeship ceremony, and you will become my most satisfactory work, Gu Yuan. ”
Gu Yuan didn't expect this man to remember his name, his eyes flickered faintly, and finally the moment he relaxed, he felt a darkness in front of him, and his whole body fainted.
When he woke up again, it was the apprenticeship ceremony ten days later, and he realized at this time that the man named Liu Chengen in front of him was actually a famous academic master of the Jianghuai generation, and there was an endless stream of people who admired the apprentice, but he had always been politely rejected. And now, he has become the focus of everyone's eyes, and everyone knows the first disciple of the Liu family.
Skilled in martial arts, academically proficient, talented, and gradually famous.
Since then, every time he travels to study the world, Gu Yuan always stands silently behind Liu Chengen, coldly looking at the envy and appreciation in his eyes, and hiding the ridicule and hatred in his eyes.
He knows very well that only he knows the dirty and ruthless behind the scenes of this famous man who cares about the world in front of him; It also became clearer that, as the man had said to himself that day, he was only one of the most satisfying works in his hands.
Liu Chengen was studying all kinds of different potions in private, just like he fed all the children that day, but whenever there was any new progress, Gu Yuan was destined to be his best experiment.
He didn't know what this man's ultimate purpose was, so he could only silently endure the torment of life worse than death day after day.
The two heavy shackles had already made strong scars on his wrists, and Gu Yuan's heavy gasps fell in the empty hints, and the echoes were faint, like a trapped beast struggling desperately. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked up at the man who had walked in from the staircase, struggling towards him, almost tearing him apart.
Liu Chengen tasted light wine, walked up to him with a smile, looking at this indistinguishable appearance of man and beast, as if he was admiring a treasure. The corners of his mouth pursed shallowly, and his tone was leisurely: "Good apprentice, it's only the fourth time this month, if you can't stand it, how can you have a reason to stay by my side." ”
As the words fell, he turned away leisurely, and the locked door fell in response to his turn.
There was an earth-shattering roar in the dark room, the sound of two iron locks cracking, and the wrist oozing blood from the strange force of forcibly breaking the iron chain, and the strange expression in Gu Yuan's cold eyes was suppressed by him.
The wheezing was long and heavy, like that of a trapped beast.
He huddled in the corner with his body firmly in his arms, his mind full of pain and pain as he trembled uncontrollably through the agitated blood. There was a bloodthirsty slaughter that surged wildly in all directions, as if a voice was echoing endlessly in the ears, lingering, condensing into an almost morbid demand for conquest and plunder, almost unable to hold back in the last shred of consciousness, and finally turned into a desperate roar of beast desire.
Until the effect of the potion finally faded slowly, only a heavy and long gasp was left in the secret room, and the sweat and blood of the whole body were intertwined, leaving only the coolness of the whole body.
Gu Yuan leaned against the wall in prostration, the feeling of his whole body peeling off made him a little trance-like, and he closed his eyes heavily.
After these few doses, there is always a voice hovering in my head, as if it can burst out at any time. It was a kind of ** with an extra thirst for killing, twisted, cold, and if he was not careful, he would completely occupy his body and devour reason.
This is an extremely dangerous omen, and if you are not careful, it will no longer be him who remains in this concrete place.
Gu Yuan dragged his tired body out of the dark room, Liu Chengen had already ordered someone to prepare hot water for him to bathe.
The beautiful water vapor was scattered around, washing away the fatigue around him, but there seemed to be a strong blood qi lingering around him, and between his noses, it stimulated the unbearable restlessness surging in his body at any time all the time.
After bathing, looking at the attendant who was respectfully serving his clothes, he couldn't help but have a trace of sarcasm in his eyes.
The so-called first disciple of the Liu clan is just a ridiculous cover for external use, no matter how beautiful it is on the surface, after all, it is just an ant that lingers in the eyes of that man.
His eyes drooped slightly, and he asked, "Where has the master gone?" ”
The attendant replied respectfully: "Miss Fanghua is here, and Mr. went to Luoxia Pavilion to accompany Miss." ”
Gu Yuan's eyelashes twitched, and his eyes were a little misty.
almost forgot that now under Liu Chengen's door, in addition to him, the first disciple, there is also his biological daughter Liu Fanghua.
