Chapter 14: Guilt (3)

It was only half an hour from entering the main hall to leaving, and Ah Bao actually had the feeling of experiencing a big dream in another world. The young man who had brought Po here was still standing outside the hall, as if waiting for her to come out.

"Master ordered me to send my sister back." The young man said and stepped forward, and Ah Bao saw his appearance clearly, about in his early twenties, about a little younger than Chu Zhaoran, with a handsome face and sparse eyebrows.

"May I ask who the Venerable Master is?" Bao asked, gesturing.

"The family teacher is a real person without a party." The boy replied.

Hearing Wufang's real person's name, Ah Bao's heart was shocked, recalling the situation in the main hall just now, she couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Did Elder Wufang say anything to Senior Brother?" After thinking about it, he added: "Something to do with tonight's events?" ”

The young man shook his head: "I just acted on the orders of the teacher, and I didn't ask the reason." With that, he made a "please" gesture. Ah Bao knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he had to follow him obediently and walked all the way back to the firewood room.

Gu Aweng was racking his brains in the yard to deal with the rhubarb that had become extremely irritable, and it took a lot of effort to tie it to the fence with a chain, and when he saw the young man bringing Ah Bao back, he immediately flew up to meet him, and his legs and feet were so neat that he didn't look like an old man at all.

"My baby, you're back!" Gu Aweng was so overjoyed that he completely ignored the existence of the young man, and went straight forward to hug Ah Bao tightly, wailing with a handful of snot and tears. Rhubarb howled incessantly because he was dissatisfied with the strangulation of his neck, and the two voices were mixed together, and for a while it was impossible to understand which was a human voice and which was a dog.

"Gu Aweng." The young man respectfully saluted Gu Aweng, and Gu Aweng remembered his existence, hurriedly let go of Abao, wiped his snot and tears, and patted him on the shoulder a few times: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Ah Bao looked at it next to him with goosebumps, and always felt that Gu Ah Weng took the opportunity to rub all the snot wiped off his face on the young man's clothes.

The young man didn't care much, shook his head, and smiled faintly: "Don't dare to take credit." The tutor explained, and he should do his best. After that, he also saluted again, and after the salute, he said: "Since the junior sister has returned safely, the junior will leave." ”

Gu Aweng nodded at him, suddenly remembered something, and instructed one after another: "Thank you today, remember to come to Aweng another day, Aweng will open a small stove for you." ”

The young man responded generously, turned around and strode out of the courtyard. Gu Aweng looked at the back of the young man, and couldn't stop admiring: "What a young talent, he already has this beautiful scenery at a young age, and he has a bit of the demeanor of the head of the family." ”

When Ah Bao heard this, he thought that Gu Aweng had never seemed to have such a high opinion of any disciple, even if he praised Chu Zhaoran in every way, he had never compared it with Changshengjun, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

"Who is he? I never seem to have seen him before. Ah Bao asked with a gesture to Gu Aweng.

"The second son of the Xiao family, the teacher is a real person, and he joined the faction later than your senior brother Chu, but he is also the best among the rising stars, and his reputation in the rivers and lakes has gradually risen in recent years, and his prestige in the faction has gradually approached the second senior brother Zhou Qingyun and the senior brother Chu Zhaoran." Gu Aweng said.

The Xiao family ranks second among the four great families, second only to the Yun family, and the place where they live is called Youhuanli. It is said that there is no information or books that cannot be found in the Xiao family's library, even if it is a peerless book, even if it is searched all over the world, as long as you have never been to the library in the secluded area, you can't say that it is lost.

The head of the Xiao family and the mother and wife have two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Xiao Xiang was born frail and sickly, and now takes care of the affairs of compiling classics at home, the second son Xiao Se, now a disciple of the Shangyao, is quite famous in the rivers and lakes, and the daughter Xiao Xiang, when she was five years old, she learned the art of Qihuang with the immortals of Yumu Cave in the seventy-two blessed lands, and she is also a fairy-like figure.

The Xiao family has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, which is completely different from the other three families. Now that he sees Xiao Se with his own eyes, and thinks of his teacher, Ah Bao only sighs that the so-called "things gather people in groups" is really not bad at all.

Thinking of this, Ah Bao suddenly remembered what had happened in the main hall just now, and hurriedly grabbed Gu Aweng's shoulder, wanting to ask. Seeing her anxious expression, Gu Aweng knew what she wanted to ask, so he made a few reassuring gestures, and then pulled her to sit down at the stone table in the middle of the courtyard, and poured a cup of herbal tea casually: "Extinguish the fire first, and listen to me tell you slowly." ”

After tossing this experience, Ah Bao was indeed a little thirsty, but he had been tense so he didn't pay attention to it, and now the strings in his head were temporarily relaxed, and he felt that his throat was dry and painful, so he picked up the teacup and drank it all. Gu Aweng then brushed his non-existent beard, considered it for a long time, and finally decided to start with the real person who had no party.

"You must have heard of the experience of Wufang Zhenren when he was a teenager in the main hall, and he now has a very important position in the Immortal Sect, but when he first entered the sect, he was almost sent down the mountain because he did not have a spiritual root and a wisdom root. Seeing that he was bent on seeking the Tao and had a resolute attitude, Changshengjun told him the method of washing the marrow of Yi Gu. ”

"I told you three years ago that in the six hundred years of history of the Shangyao Creation Sect, there is only one person who has successfully survived and obtained the immortal root through the method of easy bone marrowing, I didn't tell you who it was at that time, but now you should know, right?" Gu Aweng said and looked at Bao, who nodded.

"Of course, our Ah Bao is now the second, and we will be able to go down in history with Wufang Zhenren in the future!" As he spoke, he reached out and rubbed Po's head indiscriminately, laughing.

Ah Bao brushed off his hand and gestured: "Wufang Zhenren said that Changshengjun gave him two myelin-washing pills back then?" ”

Gu Aweng nodded: "He used one himself, and the rest is for you." His tone was light, as if he was talking about something that was taken for granted and known to everyone.

Ah Bao suddenly realized: "You said at the time that the marrow cleansing pill was asked for by you from a master in every possible way, and the master originally referred to the real person without a party?" ”

Gu Aweng bent his finger and flicked it on Ah Bao's forehead: "Ice and snow are smart, just a little through!" ”

Having said that, Ah Bao always felt that there was something unreasonable, but for a moment he couldn't think of what was wrong. In recent days, there have been a series of changes, and some things have gone beyond her expectations, and she only feels extremely tired when she is at a loss. Suddenly, she remembered Chu Zhaoran, who was on a mission at the bottom of the mountain at the moment.

"When these things are over, I have a wish, and I hope you can grant it." Thinking of what Chu Zhaoran said to himself that day, Ah Bao felt his eyes sour.

Rhubarb, who was lying next to him quietly listening to the conversation between the two, seemed to sense something at this moment, suddenly jumped up from the ground, stretched his neck and wanted to bite off the chains on his body, while letting out a low roar of "woo", taking advantage of the miserable white hairy moon in the night sky, it sounded creepy.

Rhubarb's restlessness brought Po back to her senses, and she suddenly remembered what Fu Qingzhen had said in the hall before, so she jumped up from the stone bench in shock, and pushed Gu Aweng to tell him to untie the chains on Rhubarb's body.

"The elders will send someone to catch the rhubarb, we have to send it down the mountain quickly!" She anxiously explained to Gu Aweng, who was dazed, and even made a few wrong gestures in a panic.
