Xu didn't speak for a long time, and the man pinched his throat with his hand before he said what he just said with difficulty. After speaking, there was another violent cough, and even the chains were trembling and whispering.

Gu Xing was stunned at this time, the image of the person in front of him was too weird, although the whole looked like an ordinary person, but the bare skin reflected bursts of cold light in this dark and inky cave, like a cold iron armor. and the tail that wagged from time to time, which made Gu Xing shudder.

Seeing that Gu Xing didn't answer for a long time, the man tried to take another step forward, but this step was not as fast as just now, the iron chain was already straight, and it didn't pull and gurgle. It's just that it is unwilling, and wants to continue to drag, and its mouth hisses with an incomprehensible noise, which is extremely harsh in this open space.

Gu Xing pinched his thigh hard, forcing himself to calm down from the panic. At this time, he already knew that if he took another step, it would be an abyss from which he could never recover, thinking of this, a trace of cold sweat had already broken out on his back, mixed with the uneasy aura in the cave, which made Gu wake up another spirit.

After the man stopped pulling in vain, Gu Xingcai dared to say: "Back to the seniors, this is a good friend who temporarily borrowed it, and said that he would return it when he used it up, and the seniors knew this thing?" ”

The strange man had a little cold light oozing from his eyes, looked at Gu Xing indifferently, snorted in his nose, and did not answer. Just kept stroking the token with his other hand, as if it was once a beloved thing.

Seeing that the strange person didn't ask any more questions, Gu Xing began to retreat tentatively, and at the moment when he raised his feet, the strange person spoke again: "It's hard to get a living person, why don't you stay with me." ”

Gu Xing's scalp suddenly went numb when he heard this, and the hairs all over his body stood on end. How could he not know that this has been used in martial arts movies, how did it happen to him by accident here, which is in line with the saying: curiosity kills cats, but how do cats know that there will be such danger.

Gu Xing quickly thought about how to deal with it in his mind, and suddenly said to the person with an idea: "The person who borrowed my token is waiting for me not far away, if the senior wants to leave someone to talk to you, it is more suitable for me to come as a friend." ”

The sudden murderous aura slowly dissipated, and the strange person seemed to be struggling with something, and there was no movement for a long time. Gu Xing was slowly retreating at this time with a faint ray of fire outside, and with the strength he had tempered over the years, he was silent. Even in this empty cave, there was not a single sound.

But just as he was about to retreat into the narrow passage, the hoarse voice sounded again with difficulty, and at the same time something broke through the air. Gu Xing hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it, and it was cold to the touch, it was the token that was taken by the strange person just now.

I heard the man say word by word: "Go back, and if anyone asks, they will say that they have not seen me." In three days' time, you will come here with the token, and I will give you a great benefit. Remember, you can't say anything about the owner of the token. If I had known about it, there would have been no bones left of you. ”

Gu Xing didn't seem to believe his ears, and after rubbing his cheeks vigorously, he slowly confirmed that he had escaped death. I think if it weren't for this token, I'm afraid I would have explained it here, and when I go out, I have to ask the high-diving exhibition, what is the origin of this token, and as for my own adventure, it is inconvenient to tell.

Gu Xing had an idea, so he quickened his pace and walked outside the cave. When he saw the high diving exhibition, the child was closing his eyes, muttering something in his mouth, trembling all over, and the torch in his hand was about to be extinguished.

Seeing this, Gu Xing jumped to his side in a stride and patted him coldly. This slap scared Gao Qianzhan to the ground, and begged for mercy, "Don't hurt me, I didn't do anything bad." Words like that made Gu Xing cry and laugh.

Seeing that Gao Qianzhan didn't mean to stand up, Gu Xing pulled him up and whispered: "Hurry up and go out with me, I'm afraid it will be dangerous if it's too late." Hearing that it was Gu Xing's voice, Gao Qianzhan opened his eyes in disbelief.

After seeing that it was really Gu who woke up, he hugged him, and said with a sad face: "There were things approaching just now, I used a torch to scare them back, and if you go back to half a stick of incense later, I will explain." ”

Gu Xing was angry and funny, so he could only comfort him and pull him out, but he was thinking about how to ask about the token. This is really too weird, in the mansion of a dignitary, there is such a cave, and there is a strange thing tied to the cave, and he made a three-day appointment with himself.

To go or not to go? Gu Xing thought that he had made a difficulty. Don't worry about it for now, let's go out. When the two of them walked out of the cave quickly, they suddenly opened up, and a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe rippled in their hearts, Xu is experience just now was too exciting, and both of them patted their chests and gasped.

Seeing each other behaving like this, they suddenly looked at each other and smiled, as if they were laughing at each other's timidity. After all, it is a young man's nature, even if he almost died just now, he never took it to heart after getting out of danger, but the gap between the two seems to have been unraveled, and the relationship is a little closer.

Seeing that Gu Xing was okay for the time being, Gao Qianzhan also put his mind at ease, signaled to follow him, and continued to move forward. I just deliberately avoided the cave when I walked, and turned around and walked to another road. There may be fewer people walking on this road, and the stone stairs paved with bluestone slabs have been covered with moss, and it is a little slippery to walk on it.

Rao is such a vigorous person as Gu Xing, and he has to pay attention to his feet, for fear that he will fall and eat as soon as he steps on the air. But the high-diving exhibition walked with ease, and when he didn't see it much, he had already thrown off Gu Xing dozens of steps.

Gu Xing was very puzzled, this person did not have a foundation in martial arts, how could he walk so easily. When he was thinking about it again, Gao Qianzhan suddenly stopped, turned to Gu Xing and said, "I have walked this road since I was a child, and few people come except me and the old official's family, so I am familiar with it." Your first time walking, be careful. ”

Only then did Gu Xing understand that it was not the high-diving exhibition that was outstanding, but familiar. Looking at everything in the world, not all talented people can reach the pinnacle of martial arts, and those with slightly less qualified qualifications, with the blessing of hard study and hard work, can also move forward step by step, and finally achieve the avenue.

The world has its own truth, the poet Qinglian in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty once said, "Hard work pays off, and the iron pestle will be sharpened into a needle." "Although the truth is simple, if you really want to do it, it is very difficult.

Just as the steps in front of him, simple walking required such caution, and the young man walked on the ground as if he were ashamed. Thinking that when he learned the martial arts and Buddhism, he occasionally cut corners, although the ink master and the monk who did not understand it never criticized, but after all, it was still retribution on himself.

Thinking of this, Gu Xing couldn't help but sigh. Seeing that Gu Xing was falling more and more of himself, Gao Qianzhan could only stand in place and wait, and only then continued to walk upward when Gu Xing was side by side.

Xu was infected by the teenager, Gu Xing also quickened his pace, and after walking through the bluestone steps, he was greeted by a lush bamboo forest. This bamboo forest is different from the one outside the courtyard, all of them are verdant and fine bamboos, each of which is the same, which makes people feel confused by adding chaos.

Gao Qianzhan saw that Gu Xing was fascinated, so he reminded with a smile: "Don't be confused, this bamboo forest is secretly in line with the Five Elements Gossip, if you are obsessed with it, you can't enter, and follow me." ”

Gu Xing hurriedly rubbed his eyes and pulled his thoughts back. I couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's such a strong luck, if it weren't for the reminder of the senior brother, I'm afraid I would have to catch the way." Gao Qianzhan smiled and walked into the depths of the bamboo forest.

Gu Xing didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly followed, for fear that he would be forgotten in the depths of this bamboo forest. After walking for half an hour, the two came to a separate courtyard. This courtyard is not as luxurious as the outside, but it has a wonderful winding path.

Gu Xing secretly sighed at the master's taste, but Gao Qianzhan said gloomily: "My mother used to live here, and then I lived there permanently." My father and sister came occasionally, but they didn't sit down long before they left in a hurry. Since Sister Ah took over the position of commander of the forbidden army, she has not been here for a long time. Outsiders come here, and you are the first. ”

After saying that, he smiled and walked in in a hurry. When Gu Xing stepped into the courtyard, he was shocked by the mountain of bamboo shoots, everything in the courtyard was as usual, but the bamboo shoots were tired and tall, and they saw that they were almost over the wall.

Gu Xing was fascinated, the old official's family who came back with them just now had appeared in the courtyard at some point, and was cooking on the fire. Gu Xing asked with some curiosity, "Won't you eat with them?" ”

Gao Qianzhan sighed helplessly and said: "Since that cave experience, I have never eaten ordinary things, but this bamboo shoot has not been rejected, so I have been eating bamboo shoots all these years." In order to suit my taste, the old official's family often lived here, and made it for me in different ways, and I didn't get tired of eating. ”

Gu Xing nodded silently, no longer answered, and followed the high-diving exhibition into the inner hall. Stepping into the inner hall, a faint fragrance came to his face, Gu Xing suddenly felt relaxed and happy, and was about to ask a question, when he was attracted by a portrait of a woman hanging in front of the inner hall of the house.

The woman in the painting has affectionate bags under her eyes and is dressed in white. Holding a scabbard inlaid with brilliance in his left hand and a full-length sword in his right hand, he was looking tenderly into the distance. The person in the painting looks like a real person. Gu Xing looked at it like this, and he was a little stupid.

Gao Qianzhan saw Gu Xing staring at the portrait of the woman, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Gu Xing, Gu Xing knew that he was abrupt, so he made a salute, which was regarded as an apology. Gao Qianzhan waved his hand, he didn't care, he just said that the woman in the painting was his mother, and he would see things and think about people when he saw them.

I pulled Gu Xing just now because the old official's family was calling for dinner, and when he saw that Gu Xing was fascinated, he stretched out his hand to remind him. Gu Xing didn't dare to look at the woman in the painting again, just now, Gu Xing had already noticed the surging of qi and blood in his body, if it wasn't for the timely reminder of Gao Qianzhan, he was afraid that something would go wrong.

It seems that this portrait of a woman has another mystery, so let's wait for dinner to ponder it.
