When-When-When-

The crisp bell continued to echo on the top of the peak, flocks of birds were startled, all the children of the Gu family gathered on the top of the main hall, the patriarch sat on the top seat, and on his left and right were the elders of the clan. The heads of the houses sat on the right and left, and the younger sons sat behind their elders. Everyone's eyes looked at the somewhat thin figure standing quietly in the hall.

Patriarch Gu Hengchen is over 100 years old, his beard is white, and as a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, he is still in the prime of life. It's just that there was a problem with his practice back then, so when he broke through from refining qi to building the foundation, his appearance couldn't change. The three elders sitting to his left and right were all monks in the early stage of foundation building, and they looked even older than him. At this time, he was saying to the old man on the left: "Sixth brother, you were responsible for teaching Jianchen back then, this girl, do you think it was his bloodline back then?" ”

The old man was chubby, very rich, with a kind smile on his face, he looked at Gu Yan and muttered: "It looks a little similar, can the patriarch conclude that she is the bloodline of the Gu family?" ”

Gu Hengchen nodded: "She is the bloodline of the Gu family, it must be true." His voice slowly softened and said, "Girl, come up and let us take a look." ”

Gu Yan walked up to the high platform, she lowered her head slightly, and said, "Gu Yan greets Gao Zu." Gu Hengchen let out an "um", his eyes were like electricity, and he swept over Gu Yan's body.

Gu Yan felt a strong pressure from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. This is the coercion of the foundation building monks! It was definitely not something that she could resist with a small shrimp at the first level of Qi refining now. Fortunately, this coercion only swept over her for a moment, and then she took it back.

But no one noticed that at the center of Gu Yan's eyebrows, the pale yellow pentagram flickered slightly.

The old man smiled and asked Gu Yan, "What about your father now, who is your mother?" ”

Gu Yan hesitated for a moment before telling his origin. The faces of the elders showed a look of regret. The Sixth Ancestor sighed: "Jian Chen was talented back then, but he was too strong, too rigid and easy to break, and a cultivator was too strong, so it was not a blessing in the end." ”

It's just that Gu Yan keenly felt that when his mother was mentioned, their faces showed disdain, it seemed that his mother's mortal identity was always not recognized by the monks.

After listening to Gu Yan's statement, the Sixth Ancestor sighed. "It's also a poor child, and now you are the only bloodline in the old nine family. Eldest brother? ”

Gu Hengchen let out a "hmm" and said, "The fourth-line fire spirit root is still a little worse than her father. However, if you can cultivate to the point where you can refine your qi and enter the body, you can be regarded as diligent. Just stay at home and practice well. From now on, you will live in the ninth room, where your father lived. As he spoke, he turned to the old man and said, "Sixth, Jian Chen is not here, but this girl still has a stepmother." Although it was never a ceremony, it finally has a name. Let's let them live together. In the future, you will be responsible for teaching them in this room. ”

The old man stood up and bowed. Gu Hengchen said loudly: "Since you have succeeded in refining qi, you can enter the genealogy of my Gu family, and in the future, Gu Yan will be a child of the Gu family, everyone will know it?" ”

Everyone stood up and responded respectfully: "Yes!" Gu Hengchen got up, waved his sleeves, and walked into the back hall.

Gu Yan was a little stunned, this is the end? She also thought that the big family would have a complicated and cumbersome confession procedure, and it seemed that it was all Gu Hengchen's words. It's no wonder that in the world of cultivating immortals, strength represents everything. As the only monk in the family who was in the middle stage of foundation building, Gu Hengchen naturally had the energy to speak his mind.

At this time, the people in the hall below all dispersed in twos and threes, leaving only the old man known as the Sixth Ancestor, who looked at Gu Yan with a smile and said, "My name is Gu Tingchen, ranking sixth." You can call me the Sixth Ancestor, your father back then, I was responsible for teaching. His qualifications are among the best among young children, and you can't weaken your father's name. ”

Gu Yan hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "May I ask the grandparents of the younger generation, are they still there?" ”

Gu Tingchen said: "They were born without spiritual roots, and they can only enjoy earthly wealth. I heard that after your father disappeared, he was so depressed that he had passed away. ”

When Gu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. No wonder Gu Hengchen said that his bloodline has been broken, and it seems that there really is no one living in the world.

Gu Tingchen looked at her with a stunned expression, and shouted: "Cultivator, the qi of heaven and earth is the body, and the changes of creation and transformation are participated. How can you be devoted to the birth, old age, sickness and death of mortals, and the love of children and daughters! ”

Gu Yan was drunk by him, and his mind suddenly came to his senses, and he bowed down and said, "I have been taught." ”

Gu Tingchen saw that she knew the etiquette, smiled with satisfaction, and said: "You have come to see your stepmother, she and your father had a marriage contract, although it has not been completed, but the name is there, and it must not be rude." As soon as he said that, His Highness walked up to a woman in a gorgeous dress.

The woman was veiled, but she had a graceful figure and a graceful posture, and she was also a monk in the Qi refining period. She nodded slightly towards Gu Yan and said, "I heard that Jian Chen still has blood, and the concubine is also quite happy. The little girl is also a lonely person, so let's be a companion with the concubine. "Her voice is soft and soft, and it is very nice. When Gu Yan heard this, it was as if she had seen the most terrifying ghost, she looked at this woman in surprise, and her face suddenly turned pale.

This voice, this appearance, is the Qin Wuyang she saw in Donglai City that day!

She vaguely remembered that in the moment before she fell unconscious, she saw the demonized situation, and threw Qin Wuyang out of the center of the explosion before frantically hunting the disciples of the Kunyi Sect. Later, her body was never seen. It seems that Guo Zhen still can't bear to kill this aunt who betrayed him, but in the moment of Zuihou, he spared her life.

Gu Yan remembered that Qin Wuyang once said that she had some relationship with the Gu family, but she didn't expect that it would be the person her father had once betrothed. She hadn't thought that the inferior disguise technique would be able to hide from this immortal cultivator. With a wry smile, he stepped forward and saluted: "I said goodbye that day, and now I meet again, but I don't know what to call it?" ”

Qin Wuyang's eyes widened, and although through the veil, Gu Yan could still see the expression of horror in her widening eyes. Knowing that she was afraid that her secret would be revealed by others, she said: "After I escaped with the escape talisman that day, I was intercepted by the disciples of the Kunyi Sect who were outside, and I hid for a few days before escaping, and it turned out that my wife did not fall into the hands of the enemy. I don't know if that Xu Daoyou and Ling nephew are okay? ”

Qin Wuyang's frightened face slowly calmed down, and he said with some surprise: "It turns out that the girl is an old acquaintance. That Xu Daoyou has already died, as for the nephew......" She showed a somewhat sad expression on her face and did not speak.

Gu Yanxin said: This woman is pretending to be! It's just that of course the face will not be debunked, but will sigh a few times. Qin Wuyang turned his head to Gu Tingchen and said, "Sixth Ancestor, this is the young man that Granddaughter-in-law saw on the road when she came to Yunyang City that day. It's just that I didn't expect it to be a woman dressed as a man. ”

Gu Tingchen smiled: "It turned out to be old knowledge, I still want to." The young man in the clan who hasn't gone out recently thought that someone was impersonating my Gu family's name. ”

Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, there was no pretense, otherwise there would be a big leak. She bowed and said, "I didn't expect that Mrs. and my father had an old relationship, it was really rude that day." ”

Qin Wuyang sighed: "Jian Chen and I were originally old acquaintances, he went to the East China Sea to hunt for treasures back then, and he never returned. They all thought that he died in the battle, but they didn't expect to leave his blood. Dwell with me, and I will treat you as my own daughter. ”

Gu Yan looked at this woman with a heart like a femme fatale, she seemed to be a loving mother at this time, and she couldn't help but feel like a world away, and other book friends looked at it normally:. At this time, Gu Tingchen was very impatient when he heard Qin Wuyang speak, and said, "You come to Mingtang tomorrow to listen to my preaching, go back and settle down first." After saying that, he strode away.

Qin Wu bowed down to see Gu Mingchen leave, and then said, "I just heard you say that your single name is a 'Yan', how about I call you Ah Yan?" ”

Gu Yan was a little stunned, this name has not been called for a long time. She settled down and said, "Don't dare to be called Mrs. like that, or call me by my name." ”

Qin Wuyang didn't care either, and said with a smile: "We will get along for a long time in the future, why be so polite." She affectionately took Gu Yan's hand and walked out with her. As she walked, she was still asking about some trivial things in her life, like a real mother.

Gu Yan followed her out, responding casually in her mouth, and suddenly Qin Wuyang asked, "After you escaped that day, did you recuperate near Tianmu Mountain?" ”

Gu Yan's whole body froze, his mind was racing, and he replied, "Although I avoided the two disciples of the Kunyi Sect, I was also injured a little. Later, he met a loose cultivator from Tianmu Mountain, and he took him in and raised him for a few days before coming to Yunyang City. Recently, I felt that my breath was out of tune, and I breathed for a few days before I came to Qingyun Mountain. The half-truths of what she said are not flawed unless you experience them yourself.

Sure enough, Qin Wuyang said "um" and said, "Poor one, you will live here in the future, and I will treat you like your biological parents." ”

Gu Yan nodded respectfully, but said in her heart: She really regards herself as a hostess? Living with this stepmother, who was inconsistent with her appearance, she sighed in her heart, and she really didn't know whether it was a curse or a blessing.

The place where the Gu family lives is actually a small city. The city has roads, dwellings, and even a bazaar. The place where Gu Yan lives is in the southeast corner of the city, a small courtyard with several huts, which is very elegant. Qin Wuyang said: "This used to be your father's old residence, and that room was where he lived when he was a teenager, so you can live there." Then he pointed to the room opposite, "I live there, and I will be sought at any time if there is anything." If you want food, you can go to the steward's office to get firewood, grain, and rice, or you can go directly to the food used by the clan. ”
