When the two of them walked away, one of them walked out of the group of red-clothed warriors, took off the demon mask, and it turned out to be a delicate-looking girl. At this time, she was looking at the two people in the distance viciously, took out a bamboo flute from her armor, and played it again.

The group of red-clothed soldiers lined up in a neat line and walked in the direction of the capital with the sound of the flute. The Immortal Venerable walked with Gu Xing unhurriedly, and did not take the initiative to answer Gu Xing's questions along the way, although he saw Gu Xing's noncommittal face, but he did not mean to take the initiative to speak.

After holding back all the way, Gu Xing finally couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, why did that team of red-clothed soldiers stop us just now?" Hades Venerable did not look back, but said lightly: "I don't know." ”

Gu Xing touched the nail, but continued to ask relentlessly: "Then why do they only listen to the sound of the flute?" Doesn't seem to have a sense of autonomy? Hades Venerable suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Gu Xing and said, "Autonomous consciousness? You mean the ability to control your own actions? ”

Gu Xing seemed to think of something, stuck out his tongue and said, "That's pretty much what it means, why in the end?" "Fortunately, I didn't say anything about the robot, otherwise I wouldn't know how to fool the past, Gu Xing muttered to himself after speaking.

Ignoring Gu Xing's whispers, Hades replied solemnly, "They can't be called people, or more appropriately called puppets. After the Immortal Venerable finished speaking, he turned around and walked forward, at this time the sky had slowly darkened, and he wanted to fight for the darkness to advance to the city, so his pace sped up a few points.

Gu Xing saw that the Immortal Venerable was silent in the middle of his words, feeling a little bored, and also quickened his pace to follow, wanting to find another opportunity to continue digging deeper. If you can really use it for yourself, then it is a powerful boost, at least your chances of surviving in this troubled world are a little greater.

After about two hours, the two came to the vicinity of the Later Tang Capital. At this time, Hades suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of the city gate. Gu Xing didn't know why, and also looked in the direction of the Immortal Venerable's gaze. At this time, the city gate was more heavily guarded than Tancheng, and there were eight soldiers in thick armor on both sides of the city gate, who were checking the pedestrians coming and going.

From time to time, they were stopped or argued a few words, and then they were taken away and did not know what to do. When Gu Xing saw this scene, he suddenly made a difficulty, and he didn't know whether he should continue to move forward. At this time, Hades Zun suddenly turned his head to look at him and said, "The goal of us entering the city together is too big, I will take the first step to divert their attention, you take the opportunity to sneak into the city, understand?" ”

Gu Xing nodded mechanically, there was no better way to do it in the current situation. After the Immortal Venerable finished speaking, he walked briskly towards the city gate, Gu Xing did not dare to slack off, and followed behind. The group of soldiers watched a black-clad masked man approach, and they all stepped forward, ready to be questioned.

Who would have thought that Hades did not mean to stop, but to break in. During this sensitive period of war between the two countries, adhering to the principle that it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go, the garrison of the city gate has become more and more vigilant. At the same time, they also have the power of life and death, as long as they don't offend Wang Sun Guixuan, then ordinary people won't care.

Unexpectedly, when the shift was about to change, such a thorn suddenly came, and those soldiers were arrogant one by one, and they were going to tear off the veil of Hades. Just as they were entangled again, Gu Xing took advantage of the chaos in the crowd and rushed into the city gate.

Seeing that there was a pedestrian commotion, the soldier led by the captain shouted, stabbed the halberd to the ground, and looked at the group of people in front of him angrily. Xu has been oppressed for a long time, and the people have become accustomed to being submissive, and when they saw the soldiers getting angry, they lost their impulse and lined up honestly.

The captain of the soldiers looked at this group of people and became honest, and then looked at a child who ran in just now, and he didn't realize it. Thinking of changing shifts quickly, going to the Qinglou in the city to drink flower wine, and those bewitching figures, a lewd smile appeared on his face.

Looking at the man in black just now, he had already turned back at this time, so he whispered a few words to a soldier next to him, and the man quickly took off his armor, changed into a light suit, and followed him.

After a short time, another group of soldiers of the same standard came out, and after a few words of conversation between the two leaders, they each lined up and began to change shifts. And the people who were waiting to enter the city could only watch with their eyes and pray that they could come to the capital before dark.

Gu Xing, who had just taken advantage of the chaos to run into the capital, was panting in an alley at this time, thinking about what to do next. I didn't expect that there was a thrilling sneak in, Hades should wait until it was dark to enter the city, the two did not discuss the location of the joint, Gu Xing could only cat here, waiting for night to fall.

I don't know how long it took, the flow of people on the street in the alley was already sparse, and the occasional naughty child ran by, and was also caught up by the elders chasing behind, pulling his ears and bringing them back. When Gu Xing was bored, he heard passers-by say that a curfew had been enforced since a few days ago, and if he was still wandering the streets after the end of the day, he would be directly killed.

Gu Xing couldn't help but shudder after hearing this, and began to turn his head and look around. Suddenly, a dangerous aura appeared behind Gu Xing, and just as Gu Xing was about to pull out his short sword and turn around, the Immortal Venerable grabbed him by the collar and led him away from the alley.

Gu Xing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and after half a cup of tea, the two of them came to bring a secluded courtyard. Gu Xing looked around, this place was still in the capital, but it was far away from the downtown area, and it seemed very hidden.

Without waiting for Gu Xing to ask, Hades Venerable took the initiative to speak: "I know what you want to ask, this is where Luo Xiu stayed before, and it will not be noticed by outsiders." I have some small things to do, and you stay here by yourself and wait for me to come back. If I don't come back in the morning, you can leave on your own. Remember, I'm going to try to find me, and I'm going to come looking for you. ”

After hearing this, Gu Xing nodded obediently, and the Immortal Venerable stared at Gu Xing for a while, and suddenly took out a bag of things from his arms and handed it over. Gu Xing stretched out his hand to catch it, and was about to open it, but was stopped by the Immortal Venerable. Hades lowered his voice and said, "When I leave, you can open it again." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Gu Xing to say anything, so he pushed the door and walked out. A few longitudinal steps disappeared into the night. Gu Xing looked boredly at the night outside the window, perhaps it was approaching early autumn, and the leaves outside the window had fallen piece by piece, not as dense as the villa, and it looked a little gloomy.

Gu Xing didn't dare to light a candle, so he could only lean on the window railing and look at the strange scene in front of him. The courtyard wasn't too big, but it was more than enough for two people, and Luo Xiu didn't leave much behind, only a lacquered wooden bed and a somewhat old table of eight immortals, and not a single stool.

The interior of the house is also the kind of traditional decoration of the post-Tang Dynasty, which seems too simple, it should have been bought from the previous person and has not been touched, Gu Xing didn't know what to do at this time, and after looking out of the window, he went back to the bed and sat down. Thinking about the things that the Immortal Venerable had given him just now, he suddenly became interested, and carefully opened it by the moonlight.

This bag was wrapped in a gray cloth, and it was a little heavy and cool to the hand, and Gu Xing was worried that there was some mechanism, so he pulled it open little by little, and when it was completely opened, he jumped back to see that there was no danger before approaching.

No matter how much the two talked and laughed along the way, this person also came to kill him in the first place, even if he is now sure that this person may be Wei Chiyan, but he is not familiar with him at all, so it is better to be cautious. Gu Xingrao was thinking, so he looked at the cloth.

In the moonlight, in the cloth was a crystal clear object, shining in the reflection of the moonlight. "No wonder it was a little cold to the touch just now, it turned out to be crystal." Gu Xing lost interest and lay down on the bed.

The moment he lay down again, Gu Xing suddenly sat up again and looked at the crystal again. After thinking for a long time, Gu Xingcai gasped and muttered, "Yan Rujing?!" "How could this thing appear on the Immortal Venerable, thinking of the scene that night, Gu Xing's doubts became a little heavier.

Without thinking too much, Gu Xing carefully wrapped the piece of Yan Rujing, put it back in his shirt, and patted it a few times before slowly lying down with his arms crossed. Thinking in his heart, the Immortal Venerable gave this thing to himself, was he worried that something would happen to him?

If you are found with this thing, you will not be killed. In the middle of his thoughts, Gu Xing was hit by a sense of sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep. In these short thirteen years, I have experienced too many joys and sorrows and stumbles, and I only slept steadily during the days when I lived with my aunt, and now I am walking on thin ice every day and can't sleep at night.

Here tonight, Xu is too tired to sleep and die. When Gu woke up from the dream, the sky was clear, but the room was still empty, and there was no shadow of the Immortal Venerable. Just as Gu Xing was about to get up and go out, a black shadow suddenly turned over from outside the wall, pushed the door and walked in.

Gu Xing was startled, sat back on the edge of the bed, and looked at the person in front of him. Hades Venerable came back, but it was a moment later than the agreed time, and seeing that Gu Xing had woken up, Hades Venerable asked suspiciously, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

Gu Xing was noncommittal and said, "These days, the best sleep." Hades nodded and said, "Last night, I sprinkled some soothing incense powder in the house, wanting you to have a good rest, but I didn't expect you to wake up when you came back, it seems that the amount is not enough." ”

Gu Xing smiled dumbly, it turned out that he was sleeping peacefully last night, and he thought it was caused by being too tired, but he didn't expect that sleeping all night seemed to be deliberately arranged by the Immortal Venerable. Gu Xing didn't delve into it anymore, but just asked with interest: "Big brother went out last night, what are you doing?" ”

The Immortal Venerable did not hide it, and replied briefly: "Go and see someone." Gu Xing suddenly became interested and asked, "Who are you seeing?" The answer given by the Immortal Venerable made Gu Xing both excited and surprised, he didn't expect that the purpose of his coming to the capital already had an eyebrow.

Shen Zun then Gu Xing's words and said, "See Xiao Qi." However, she has now changed her name, and I don't know. Gu Xing suppressed his excitement and wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by the Immortal Venerable waving his hand, so he could only give up.
