Distant Lanjing.

A large bird with black feathers and white wings crossed the sky and landed lightly outside a towering palace, flapping its wings and letting out a strange "quack" laugh.

An old man with a white beard walked out slowly, smiling and stretching out his hand to it: "Quack, are you back, have you seen him?" ”

Ga Ga repeated Gu Fenglin's words: "I'm fine, I'm fine." ”

The old man with white hair sighed, took out the note from its ankle ring, and the more he looked at it, the more serious his face became, and finally he said angrily: "How can this be true! ”

A beautiful girl in pink came over, her tone soft and helpless: "Grandpa, why are you angry?" ”

When the old man saw her, his originally cold and stiff eyebrows softened: "Jixiang, you go and call Gu Yilan!" ”

"Yes." Ji Xiang lowered her eyebrows and asked softly, "Is there any news from Ah Lin?" Is he okay? ”

The old man sighed and patted her on the shoulder: "He's fine." ”

Jixiang curled her lips and smiled, and turned away in satisfaction.

In the evening, a man walked up the heavy steps made of white marble.

He was wearing a robe embroidered with a blue and golden auspicious cloud pattern, with a crown and a broad belt, his face was as white as jade, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, his thin and light lips were slightly pursed, his expression was indifferent, and his every move was strictly disciplined.

Walking to the platform, Jixiang greeted him and saluted with a smile: "Lord Priest." ”

Gu Yilan gave her a hand, didn't talk to her, and walked straight inside.

In the tall and empty palace room, the snow-white veil was blown in all directions by the strong wind.

In the middle of the place facing the gate, a very tall jade statue sits smiling and holding flowers, looking at the world gently.

The old man with white hair knelt in front of the idol and unhurriedly fed the quack who had returned from a long journey.

The food was some fat, white insects twisting and wriggling in the jade bowl, looking very terrifying.

Gu Yilan only glanced at it, then looked away indifferently, saluted the old man, and said in a calm voice: "Elder De, I heard that you are looking for me." ”

Elder De sighed: "Yilan, you are extremely talented, you are the most outstanding in your generation, all these years, I have been doing my best to cultivate you and assist you. ”

Gu Yilan's eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest: "Yes." ”

Elder De had long been accustomed to his coldness, and he didn't care at all: "How many years do you think you can live?" ”

Gu Yilan was stunned, his two delicate sword eyebrows frowned, and after a while, he said bluntly: "I don't know." ”

Elder De sighed: "I don't know, you know, but whoever inherits the talent of the divine officer has a very short lifespan, even if he is lucky enough to live a few more years with the help of the blood of the Mu family, there are always all kinds of accidents waiting for him." Priests, none of them die well. ”

He looked at the statue that looked down on them with a smile and said, "Grandpa lived to be thirty-eight years old, the longest is your third uncle, who lived to be forty-one years old, and your father is ordinary, now he is more than sixty years old, but he is still alive." The higher the talent, the shorter the lifespan, which is fate. ”

Gu Yilan was still cold: "You always say it directly." ”

Elder De looked back at him and said word by word: "Every person with outstanding talent is a rare treasure of the Gu family, and it takes a lot of money and energy to endure unimaginable pain and torture for ordinary people to create one.

With them, the Gu family's bloodline and glory and wealth can continue. That's why I, in that case, would choose to turn my face with your father and forcibly save Ah Lin's life. ”

Gu Yilan said: "So? ”

Elder De said, "Take care of your eldest brother and your wife!" Who dares to attack Ah Lin, Lao Tzu is welcome! ”
