In the night, in another part of Kyoto, in the slum neighborhood of Nanxiang, some ordinary people of the Red Lotus Sect had already fallen asleep early, and even if some people couldn't sleep, they were wrapped in quilts in the dark and thinking about tomorrow's food, firewood and rice.

For these poor people, a candle and a jar of sesame oil are enough for a family's meal tomorrow.

Staying up late at night, there is nothing to do, it is a complete waste of food.

As the cold winter approaches, there are refugees everywhere, and the price of food is several times higher than in previous years, and wasting food at this time is a waste of life.

Therefore, for the bustling singing and dancing on the side of West Street, this south alley is unusually quiet, except for the sporadic squeak of the wooden door being blown by the cold wind, there is no other movement.

Compared with the crowds on the streets during the day, the streets at the moment are deserted and even rats are too lazy to wander around.

In the deepest part of the South Alley, that is, the so-called temple of the Red Lotus cultists, the huge mansion found by Wei Nanqi and Gu Naluo, the attic on the second floor was half-suspended in the air, and the red lights were glowing, like a lighthouse in the middle of the sea, which was somewhat eye-catching.

But there were veils everywhere in the attic, and in the light of the candles, the veils were a little dark red, and the bitter cold wind around them penetrated through the cracks in the attic, and then the veils swelled up, and the huge lanterns bulged up one by one.

"Slow down!"

Gu Naluo pinched his throat and reminded Wei Nanqi, who was drenched in a very low voice, that the two of them carefully touched the attic from the lake behind this courtyard in the dim moonlight.

It turned out that the two waited until late at night, and Gu Naluo released Wei Nanqi, and according to the sound of the wind that Gu Naluo noticed, the two jumped into the biting cold water and swam in the direction of the sound of the water and wind, and sure enough, on the other side of the water, there was a small lake in this courtyard.

It's just that in this kind of weather, Wei Nanqi, who entered the already biting lake, did not have the slightest kung fu foundation, and after climbing ashore, the whole person was already pale, his lips were blue, and his hands and feet trembled all the way.

This will inevitably step on the heel of Gunaro.

"I... I'm so cold, my hands and feet don't obey, it's too ... Ahh

Wei Nanqi sucked the snot that had been flowing out uncontrollably, and before he could explain a word, he immediately raised his head and was about to sneeze.

Seeing this, Gu Naluo hurriedly reached out and covered Wei Nanqi's mouth.

If this sneeze comes out, I'm afraid that under this silent night, the whole South Alley will know about their coming out.

A softness covered his lips, and Wei Nanqi suddenly found that Gu Naluo's cold hands were a little warm in his palms, and a faint fragrance ran down his mouth and nose, sending a wave of warmth, and suddenly most of the coldness on his body disappeared.

"I don't seem to be doing anything anymore."

Wei Nanqi whispered in surprise, and then waved his arm a few times, but he felt that he had inexhaustible strength in his body.

"Nonsense, I'm a Gu Saint's apprentice, and I don't have any skills?"

Gu Naluo glanced at Wei Nanqi angrily, and then continued to walk forward.

Also, I've finally seen this girl's ability.

Wei Nanqi was just glad that Gu Naluo's skills were somewhat useful, but when he thought about it, the expression on his face suddenly became a little unnatural.

Fang Cai Gu Naluo also emphasized that she was the apprentice of the Gu Saint, and this Gu Saint had always been the main one to use Gu and poison.

"Princess, you've just..."

Wei Nanqi hurriedly followed Gu Naluo's footsteps, his words were a little stumbling, and he asked vaguely.

"I just gave you a Gu."

Gu Naro didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, and he didn't look back, but craned his neck to observe the situation under the attic, and replied disappreciatively.

Poison?

Wei Nanqi suddenly felt a churn in his stomach, and even the rancid and smelly meals he had eaten when he was arrested were about to vomit out.

Although Wei Nanqi didn't know how powerful Gu was, he knew how terrifying it was.

Those books are full of pictures and texts, but there are no less written about all kinds of Gu, and none of them look delicious anyway.

Those Gu insects are greasy and soft, but they are no different from the various insects you see on weekdays.

The warmth that Fang felt just now entered his throat, and I am afraid that it was the Gu that Gu Naluo had eaten for himself.

"What are you afraid of? Gu is not all used to harm people, I look at your appearance, obviously a little cold, I fed you a Yang Returning Gu refined by my master, so that you can dissipate the wet cold, what kind of expression are you? You must know that the Gu Saint's Gu is hard to change! ”

Gu Naluo looked at it for a long time to confirm that there was no one guarding the attic, so he turned his head and prepared to ask Wei Nanqi to go up with him to see if there were any useful clues.

found that Wei Nanqi was squatting alone under the tree on the side, struggling to clasp his throat, as if he wanted to vomit something.

When Wei Nanqi heard Gu Naluo's words, he smiled wryly, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, after all, the other party was motivated by good intentions.

"Don't bother, Gu is not what you think, you can spit it out if you eat it, wouldn't the Gu masters in the world be able to do it."

Gu Naluo pulled Wei Nanqi and explained angrily:

"Gu worm is actually an extremely small worm, which is refined by us in various medicines, and there are many ways to quench it, basically it melts in the mouth, there will be no obvious feeling, if everyone can eat it, wouldn't there be no place to put Gu down?"

Wei Nanqi heard Gu Naluo's explanation and hung his head helplessly.

After all, what Gu Naluo said was not bad, if he could pick it out casually, then the Gu Saint would not be a Gu Saint.

"Let's go, let's go up."

Gu Naluo looked at Wei Nanqi, who had given up resistance, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then took the lead towards the room.

The two entered the first floor, but found that there were all kinds of portraits on this floor, the moonlight was a little dim, and there were no lights in the room, and for a while Wei Nanqi couldn't see what kind of fairy was on the painting.

Seeing that there was nothing new on the first floor, the two turned around and went upstairs.

Zhou Yangfeng followed the person walking in front, and watched him walk through a few dark alleys, and the dirty wig on his head and the sloppy coat on his body were withdrawn one after another, and a young man with a thin face but a long knife on his back was revealed.

"You are?"

Zhou Yangfeng looked at this young man who was about the same age as himself, and felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember it, so he quickly shook his head, and the pace under his feet also sped up a little.

"Yang Guang."

The young man smiled and gave his name.

"Yes, yes, yes! Aren't you from the Changwu Palace? Could it be that it is Chen Pingwu who wants to see me today? ”
