Chapter 235: Trying to Capture the Past
Gao Chengying bowed and left, leaving the black-robed old man alone outside the lobby. The black-robed old man turned his head to look in the direction where Gu Xing and Jia Hongdao had left just now, his eyes became more and more cold and cunning, and only after a while did he turn around and walk out of the door until he disappeared.
When calm returned outside the lobby, it was a lush and vibrant field of flowers and plants, but at this time, it withered as if it was aging, and the ants that happened to pass by were not spared. With the black-robed old man standing in the center, there was no living thing within a radius of one zhang.
Jia Hongdao took Gu Xing back to the side courtyard where he was staying, and did not rush upstairs, but squinted his eyes and stared in the direction he came, not knowing what he was thinking. Gu Xing also noticed it, and listened attentively to Jia Hongdao, wanting to catch some clues.
But after the two of them hid for a while, they didn't get anything, but only one thing was certain, the feeling of danger had left.
Jia Hongdao sighed, "The strength of the person who came is no less than me, and he faintly pressed me." But judging from the internal strength exercises practiced, it is not an ordinary martial arts horizontal practice, or a Jianghu sect, but like a ......"
"What do you think, is it like a ghost?" Gu Xing shuddered unconsciously and asked tentatively.
"Infinite City?" Jia Hongdao seemed to be awakened by Gu Xing's words, and subconsciously muttered this unfamiliar place name.
Gu Xing was shocked when he heard this, and then dragged Jia Hongdao to the second floor, and only after closing the door did he gasp for breath, looking afraid that others would hear it, and lowered his voice and said: "Master Jia doesn't know, I have seen the people of 'Infinite City', and I fought before when I entered the Mingyue Tower. ”
Jia Hongdao grimaced, pointed at Gu Xing's nose and scolded: "Melon cowardly, in the land of tigers and wolves in Mingyue Tower, what are you doing when you enter the building?" ”
"I have a last resort, let me talk about it slowly. But now, Master Jia brought me here, I'm afraid it's not just 'to make up for my body', right? Gu Xinggu talked about him left and right, and he didn't want to directly answer about joining Mingyue Tower.
"If you make up for your body, your life will be gone." Jia Hongdao leaned over to Gu Xing and sniffed vigorously, and said with a disgusted expression.
"What do you mean by that?" Gu Xing knew that what Jia Hongdao said must be true, and he was afraid that what happened during his coma, but he didn't know it, so he hurriedly asked.
"Have you ever sucked the blood of a snake python?" Jia Hongdao pressed Gu Xing on the chair and stool, and looked at him condescendingly with his hands around his chest, as if he was looking at a little daughter-in-law in the boudoir.
Gu Xing was a little embarrassed to be looked at, but he still answered truthfully, "On the way back from Longshou County, I passed by an unknown valley, and I luckily killed a white python, and was forced to suck the blood of the white python, and then I was in a coma for more than half a month. ”
After Gu Xing finished speaking, Jia Hongdao slapped his thigh, "That's right!" There are two breaths in your body now, and now you are like a flatulent sheepskin sac, which will not explode if you are not careful. As he spoke, he made a "boom" gesture, which frightened Gu Xing and almost fell to the ground.
"How does Master Jia know about my physical problems?" Gu Xing is not without doubt, from coma to recovery, although all the old injuries have healed, but there is a faint feeling of a little heat, especially after the summer.
After that, many things happened one after another, and this matter was put behind him, and now Jia Hongdao mentioned it, only to know the mystery, but it has not been life-threatening, so he did not take it to heart.
Without waiting for Jia Hongdao's answer, Gu Xing's wrist was raised, and Jia Hongdao's two fingers pierced Gu Xing's pulse like needles, and then pointed at the two acupoints of Gu Xing's chest and Zhangmen. Gu Xing suddenly felt that the breath in his body was circulating, and another coolness spread from his chest to his whole body, which was indescribably comfortable.
But Jia Hongdao was already sweating profusely, and it didn't seem that it was the blood surging caused by excessive internal strength. Gu Xing felt relieved after Jia Hongdao said his finger points, and when Jia Hongdao regained his momentum, he said meaningfully: "You kid has this kind of adventure, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." ”
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided." Gu Xing muttered a few words to himself, looking downish on life and death.
"Don't pretend to be old at a young age, how old have you lived?" Jia Hongdao was about to fight, but Gu Xing hurriedly covered his head. When I raised my hand, the feeling of soreness was completely gone.
Seeing Gu Xing's hippie smiling face, Jia Hongdao could only give up, retract his sign language and said seriously: "Someone has moved on your body, I'm afraid there will be hidden worries in the future." ”
Gu Xing's back was cold when he heard this, although he was worried just now, he always felt that it was fine, but at this time, he thought about it, he had been in Nalan's hands for a long time, and he was afraid that he had already exposed his feet. But Nalan didn't break it, it seems that things are not as simple as he imagined.
Jia Hongdao didn't mean to continue to delve into it, waved his hand but said something that Gu Xing wanted to ask but never found a chance to ask, "Old Ge is missing." ”
Gu Xing finally reined in his hippie smiling face, recovered from the joy of reunion after a long absence, and asked a little puzzled and worried: "Do you know when you will disappear?" ”
"If you want to make a conclusion, you can only start from the last time I met Ge Lao." There was a little sadness in Jia Hongdao's eyes, old friends who had only met for many years had only been a few months, and they disappeared again, and the things entrusted by Ge Lao were now all done, but he couldn't be found.
"The last time we met? Could it be that Jia Shi hasn't seen Ge Lao for a long time? Could something have happened? Gu Xing looked worried, but he secretly calculated it in his heart. It seems that Ge Lao disappeared for no reason at this time, and it is inseparable from the "Luoyang Chess Game".
Jia Hongdao turned a deaf ear, and said to himself, "I remember that it was a rainy night, the rain in April was a little oozing, and I was also old, so I stayed in Gaofu and never went out." It was at that time that Ge Lao sent a secret letter from Detached, saying that he wanted to talk to me. ”
Hearing this, Gu Xing had already guessed that there would be more news next, so he hurriedly grabbed the teapot on the table, poured a cup, and handed it to Jia Hongdao.
Jia Hongdao took it, and after taking a sip, he continued to say: "We chose a secluded courtyard, I have been in the capital for more than a few years, but I know very little about the layout of the streets and alleys of Menfang. Jia Hongdao said this, bowed his head and smiled bitterly.
Some self-blame, and even more guilt that can't be let go.
Although I didn't know the purpose of this layout, and I didn't care about it at the time, but at this time, it seems that the driver who came to answer is probably not so simple. Ge Laoxuan had a secret meeting here, probably hinting at the danger that would follow. Jia Hongdao motioned for Gu Xing to pour tea, and sighed unconsciously after drinking it.
"What did Elder Ge say, or what did he give you to do?" Gu Xing hurriedly asked.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time since the last time we talked in Gaofu, and after a greeting, Ge Lao confided the truth, he wanted me to do two things, one of which was not to find you and protect you." Jia Hongdao originally lowered his head and raised suddenly, staring at Gu Xing with wide eyes, for fear that he would leave his sight.
"And what's that other thing?" Gu Xing hurriedly asked.
"Another thing, another thing has little to do with me, because he himself is not good enough to come forward, so he asked me to investigate the cause of his disciple Yunlan's death." What Jia Hongdao said was light and light, but it sounded like a lightning strike to Gu Xing.
Looking at Gu Xing, who was a little stunned, Jia Hongdao raised his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, and asked with some puzzlement: "What, do you know him?" ”
Gu Xing's heart was already overturned, this dark chess piece buried in Luoyang in Guxiao Villa died like this, and it was unknown whether it was dead or not, and the degree of power in this can be seen. But Gu Xing didn't show too much emotion, just said indifferently: "I've seen it a few times, but I'm not familiar with it." ”
Jia Hongdao didn't mean to continue to investigate, and continued: "At that time, it was rumored that you had entered Mingyue Tower, but I couldn't know your whereabouts for a while, so I could only go to check Yunlan's death first. Guess what I found? ”
In Gu Xing's impression, Jia Hongdao has always been an old and serious appearance, and now that he can be so relaxed and deliberately let him guess, I'm afraid things will be very interesting. Gu Xing pretended to think, "Is it that the place where this person died is not ordinary?" ”
Jia Hongdao laughed loudly when he heard this, and gave a thumbs up and praised repeatedly, "It is worthy of my Jia Hongdao's apprentice, a bit of a doorway." Do you know that Yunlan actually died on the bed of a concubine in the inner palace. It's just that this matter is kept secret, and the old man also took a lot of trouble to find out about it, and he was shocked at that time. ”
Gu Xing's heart was gloomy, and his doubts were even deeper, "This person is just a chess piece planted in the capital Luoyang by Lone Whistling Villa, how could he have anything to do with the inner palace, and fortunately he died on the bed of a concubine." ”
There were thousands of doubts in his heart, but he said a casual sentence, "What 'expression' does the lord of the country, Li Cunqing, have?" ”
Jia Hongdao thought that Gu Xinghui's eyes widened, and he couldn't say a word after looking at him for a long time. You must know that such a depraved thing, no matter which dynasty or generation it is placed in, it takes a thousand knives to vent the hatred in your heart, not to mention the concubine of the lord of the dynasty.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xing looked indifferent, and Jia Hongdao was half angry. But then Jia Hongdao continued: "The strangest thing is that the inner palace is like a pool of stagnant water, and there is no movement. However, it is rumored that this person is just the substitute ghost of the owner of the bright moon building. ”
"It's related to Mingyue Tower?" Gu Xing muttered to himself, and then asked, "Then this matter is over?" ”
"Although there was a lot of turmoil at that time, but fortunately, now the people's food and clothing are a problem, who cares so much, after a few days, no one cares, but the storyteller of the wine shop and tea house has compiled this matter into a conversation after tea and dinner, which is very fun." After Jia Hongdao finished speaking, he looked at Gu Xing expectantly.
Gu Xing was a little hairy, got up and grabbed the chair and stool and took a step back, deliberately distanced himself from Jia Hongdao, and showed that he was not interested in the follow-up of this matter.
There was a soft sound outside the door, and Jia Hongdao made a silent gesture to Gu Xing and turned his head to look. But no one passed by outside the door, only the breeze.
After the sound outside the door disappeared, Jia Hongdao approached Gu Xing and moved his lips slightly, but he didn't make a sound. Gu Xing looked at it carefully, and read it from Jia Hongdao's lips, "If you are being watched, don't make a sound." ”
It turns out that everything just now, half-truths and half-truths, is a means to cover people's ears.
Gu Xing quietly approached the table, dipped his hand in the water in the teacup, and wrote on the table. Jia Hongdao sighed after reading it, and said with his lips: "After Elder Ge asked me to find you, I will take you back to Yifen Village to find Lin Jiangxin." ”
Gu Xing chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that something happened to Qianzhuang?" ”
Jia Hongdao sighed and continued to say with his lips: "This is the entrustment left when we met for the last time, if you have any doubts, you can only know when you find Lin Jiangxin." ”
"And when are we leaving?" Gu Xing asked a little impatiently.
"Leave at night." Jia Hongdao snorted coldly, his momentum skyrocketed, there was a gust of wind blowing outside the door, Jia Hongdao pushed the door out, the second floor and the courtyard were empty, it seemed that the people had fled.
Gu Xing walked quickly to Jia Hongdao's side, looked at the sun that was still hanging high in the distance, and said helplessly: "I'm afraid I can't wait for night." ”
Jia Hongdao nodded, turned over and jumped down, Gu Xing also jumped down, and the two jumped out of Gaofu one after the other, and ran towards the penny village.
