In the early morning of the second day, Gu Nan just got up, fetched a basin of water, and sat in the yard washing his face. Droplets of water drenched her hair, and a soft laugh came from under the rubble of the eaves, and she looked sideways.

Lingqi was sitting there learning embroidery with Diao Xiu'er, not knowing what she was embroidering. But looking at her embarrassed face and Diao Xiu'er covering her mouth and chuckling on the side, I knew that she wouldn't embroider very well.

Looking at the appearance of the two, Gu Nan's expression stretched and the corners of his mouth were hooked.

But when she turned around, her eyes fell on the basin of water, and she saw her face reflected in the water. That face had never changed in the slightest, and the smile on her face gradually sank helplessly, and she picked up a hat beside her and put it on her head.

There was a sound of slamming the door outside the courtyard, and Lingqi and Diao Xiu'er stopped.

"I'll just go and see." Gu Nan got up and waved his hand at them warmly, and walked out of the courtyard.

Passing through the hall and opening the door, it was Guo Jia.

said that he was feeling a little unwell recently, and wanted Gu Nan to help take a look.

"Have you stayed up all night these days, or how many times have you been drunk?"

In front of the hall, Gu Nan sat opposite Guo Jia and raised his eyebrows and said.

If you take the medicine she gives on time, and usually pay attention to your body, Guo Jia's body should be able to adjust a little bit.

Instead of being like now, it always gives people a feeling of weakness and can't help it, and is always unwell.

"I can't sleep at night, it's official business, I'm drunk, it's a place of interest, these two things should be impossible to get rid of."

Guo Jia said with a light smile, looking like that, he had no intention of changing his mind at all.

"If you don't pay attention to conditioning yourself, it's useless for me to give you any medicine." Gu Nan glanced at him and stretched out his hand: "Let me take the pulse first." ”

"Yes." Guo Jia said, putting his hand in front of Gu Nan: "I'm tired of Mr. Gu." ”

Gu Nan rolled up his sleeves and put his palm on his wrist.

But it didn't take long for her to frown and snort.

"The pulse is stable, it shouldn't be the appearance of cold disease······"

Here Gu Nan took the pulse seriously, but Guo Jia looked thoughtful, looking at Gu Nan in front of him motionlessly.

Suddenly, he said with a smile.

"Mr. Gu, after living for hundreds of years, what do you look like?"

Gu Nan was concentrating on Guo Jia's pulse, and when he heard Guo Jia's question, he didn't think much about it, and said casually.

"It's just a person, everyone is gone, what can it look like?"

As soon as the words came out, she reacted, and the fingers on Guo Jia's wrist trembled slightly.

Looking at Guo Jia, Guo Jia was smiling faintly, looking down at her to take her pulse, and he didn't know if he listened to her words.

Gu Nan still forced a smile and corrected.

"That's my guess, if I lived to be a hundred years from now, it would probably be like that."

"Hmm." Guo Jia seemed to agree with Gu Nan's words, nodded and smiled: "Naturally, no one can live to hundreds of years later. ”

"But Mr. Gu." He raised his head and looked into Gu Nan's eyes.

"Jia still has a few questions, I don't know if Mr. Gu can answer them?"

Gu Nan saw Guo Jia's strange appearance, his hand was released from his wrist, and there was no other look on his face, just asked.

"Fengxiao, are you here to see a doctor today, or is there something else?"

"I'm here to see a doctor."

Guo Jia said, but also put away his hand and sighed.

"These questions are not answered, Jia can't sleep every night, and it has become a heart disease."

Between the tables, Gu Nan fell silent, and Guo Jia also waited quietly for Gu Nan's answer.

It was quiet all around, but when I sat in the hall, I could hear the sound of the leaves shaking outside the hall.

"Just ask."

Gu Nan lowered his eyes, looked at the table, and said softly.

"Okay, that's rude." Guo Jia put away the smile on his face, looked at Gu Nan with a rare face, and slowly hugged his hands and saluted.

"Mr. Gu, I once asked the general, when are you here. At that time, the general replied that it was the Tiger Prison Beforehand. ”

So I asked the general what age he was when I saw Mr. Gu. The general replied, but it was only a peach and a plum year. ”

"It's been more than a decade since Tiger Prison happened, and many of the children seem to have grown up by now. But Mr. Gu, although you always carry a hat, you can occasionally see your appearance. ”

Guo Jia said this, paused, and glanced at Gu Nan silently before continuing.

"Today's gentleman looks like he is only in his prime, and for more than ten years, he has not aged at all."

Gu Nan half-lowered his gaze, and the voice under the hat replied calmly.

"I am a martial arts practitioner, and I study medical skills, and I often recuperate on weekdays, and I have to age slower than ordinary people."

This answer is not too problematic, it seems to be a matter of course, Guo Jia also nodded.

"Yes, Jia knows that Mr. Gu is a person who practices martial arts, and even Mr. Gu's martial arts should be unmatched in the world. Even the flying general Lu Bu of the year was just an enemy. ”

"I went to ask General Dian Wei how long it would take to practice martial arts like Mr. Gu. General Dian looked embarrassed at that time, and reluctantly told me that he had partnered with Mr., but he couldn't figure out the details of Mr. at all, and he would be defeated with one move. ”

"He only gave a conservative answer, if you want to practice martial arts like Mr. Gu, ordinary people can't reach it in a lifetime, even if it's a genius, it will take at least decades."

In the hall, Guo Jia slowed down his tone: "Mr. Gu, judging from your appearance, you should not be that old now." ”

This time, Gu Nan didn't answer quickly, but waited for a while before replying like a memory.

"That year, I was living on the streets, and my master saw that I was naturally suitable for learning martial arts, and I could wear a lineage of teachers, so he took me down and brought me into the mountains. I spent 20 years studying in a teacher's school. Before the death of the family teacher, he passed on his life's skills to me, and I have this martial arts. ”

Guo Jia listened carefully to Gu Nan's words, and looked at the thin man in white, her words were indeed like recalling a past.

But since Gu Nan mentioned Shimen, his next question happened to be Shimen.

"Wen Ruo once told me that Mr. Gu's master is a hidden strange sect, and there are hundreds of schools of thought in the door, many of which are lost doctrines. There are even many kinds of knowledge that have never existed in ancient times, and it seems that every one of those studies can lead directly to the avenue. ”

And what is sought in this way is only to teach these doctrines to the people of the world one by one, and there is no class of teaching. so that all the people may know honor and disgrace, know the affairs of the world, and act virtuously. Such a door rule is respectable and lamentable. ”

Guo Jia didn't have the slightest joke in his eyes, and said word by word.

He really has all the respect for this strange door.

Even so, he still had something to ask about this teacher.

Jia has borrowed a lot of books from Mr. Gu, and Mr. Gu has never been stingy. But sir, after reading those books, Jiatong had a little doubt in addition to his feelings about the doctrine. Although the handwriting in the text is slightly different, the handwriting should be from the same person. ”

"Jia has studied calligraphy for a period of time, and he thinks that he has also made a small success. One day, I happened to see Mr. Gu of the General's Mansion writing three points and four words. The calligraphy is a great achievement, and Jia sighs that it is not as good. It's just that those four characters, whether it is penmanship or style, are the same as those handed down by Mr. Gu's teacher, and the words in all the books I have read. ”

Guo Jia waited for Gu Nan's answer, there were many things, he should have noticed something strange a long time ago, but at that time, he didn't have such an idea as now.

"Many of the books passed down by the master are old and difficult to preserve."

Gu Nan picked up the kettle on the table, poured himself a glass, and said as usual.

"Most of the ones lent to you have been re-copied by me. The words above are naturally from my hand. ”

"Re-transcribed ······" Guo Jia repeated Gu Nan's words and said instead.

"I took a book that Mr. Gu borrowed from me, went to the rubbing workshop, found a papermaker, and asked him what year the paper in the book should be. The papermaker read the book and smiled and told me that the paper in the book was at least fifty years old. ”

"Sir also said just now that the book was re-copied by Sir fifty years ago?"

"Rustle." The wind outside shook the shadows of the trees.

This time, Gu Nan did not answer Guo Jia again.

For a long time, Guo Jia barely had a light smile on his face, and he didn't know what kind of look to use at this time to face the person in front of him.

Because that, perhaps, is thousands of years of loneliness.

Maybe it's a person who has an obsession with changing the world, has gone through thousands of years of world changes, and has come silently from thousands of years ago.

He smiled and asked his last question.

"Mr. Gu, write down the words of a hundred schools of thought, and those who want to preach to the world and change the world. Is it that from beginning to end, you are the only one, and it has taken thousands of years? ”
