Chapter 124: Technique
Airplanes......
Syllable......
Less than half a second after the sound of the mobile phone under the pillow was dragged out of the soft "encirclement" by a white hand, tossed into the air, crossed a smooth parabola and fell to the ground, and then stumbled on the ground due to inertia and slid a rather dramatic distance before hitting the corner of the wall.

Of course, the stop here refers to its trajectory, and it is naturally impossible for it to stop working so simply, which has been praised by countless people as a generation of artifacts.
Instead, it continued to make noises that interfered with her sleep, and the whole process of less than forty seconds annoyed the petite figure who was huddled under the covers.
The ringing finally stopped, and Xiao Ling, who was too lazy to get up and didn't want to answer the phone, breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned over, holding the ancient pillow and preparing to continue taking a nap. However, the ringtone of the mobile phone that disturbed the dream rang again.
Sitting up from the bed, Xiao Ling's ears twitched slightly, and she stared at the phone lying on the wall with her beautiful eyes half-squinted because of the interruption of her precious sleep time, and paused for five seconds. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he walked slowly from the bed to the phone, stared at the caller ID of the phone, confirmed the caller information, and finally pressed the answer button.
"Is something wrong, Miss Gu Yu?"
Xiao Ling spoke in a tone similar to the ancient style, which sounded even decadent.
"Uh......" Gu Yu on the other side suddenly felt a little speechless, why did he ask like this, is it delusional? I always feel like I've had a similar conversation with Gu Feng before.。
“…… Why do you ask? ”
"Because that's what Brother Gu Feng said when you called me before." Xiao Ling's tail dyed with black markings flicked gently.
"No...... I don't think that's right, it should be said that it's rude, Xiaoling, you're a girl, you can't talk like this. Gu Yu suddenly felt that Xiao Ling seemed to have contracted some "bad habits" under the leadership of Gu Feng.
"Oh, then Miss Gu Yu, do you have something?" After answering, Xiao Lingyou asked again.
"Hmm......" Gu Yu pondered for a moment, "Gu Feng...... Are you back? ”
"Nope." The answer was crisp.
"That's right...... Okay......" It should be said that he heard the expected result, but Gu Yu's voice revealed obvious disappointment.
"So, Xiaoling, did you have lunch?" Gu Yu said this probably because he didn't have anything to say, or he confused the words of farewell and the words of greeting in a panic, well, this is also a very common thing, isn't it?
In short, Gu Yu, who said this, didn't care if it was strange, so he was about to hang up the phone, but he heard an answer that should be said to be unexpected.
"Nope."
"Huh?" Gu Yu was stunned for a moment.
"So, no." Xiao Ling repeated it again.
"No, why ......" Gu Yu was a little surprised, "but it's already afternoon, why hasn't it been yet...... No, what are you doing at noon? ”
"Take a nap." Without too much emotion, as if she was simply stating a factual tone, Xiao Ling blinked.
“…… Well? After waiting for a few seconds and not hearing the next answer, Gu Yu hesitated and continued to ask, "Is there nothing?" ”
"Nope."
That's not right!
"Aren't you doing anything other than taking a nap?" Gu Yu asked in surprise.
"Sleep late?" Xiao Ling's eyes flashed and she continued in a questioning tone.
Isn't that nothing but sleep?!
"It may be a little late to ask now, but, Xiaoling, how do you solve the problem of three meals a day?" Gu Yu's tone suddenly became a little anxious.
"Oh, don't eat it......"
"Toot-toot-"
As soon as Xiao Ling's voice fell, she could only hear the sound of the phone hanging up from the other side.
Well...... Xiao Ling looked at the display of her phone in silence and spent two seconds thinking about what had happened, but to no avail. So he climbed back into bed, holding the fire that showed no sign of waking up, and prepared to go back to sleep.
I don't know if it was two or three hours later, the door of Gu Feng's house that was so broken that even the knocker was pushed open.
"Xiaoling-Xiaoling-"
What woke Xiao Ling up from her slumber again was Gu Yu's voice.
Rolled off the bed in a daze, put away the ears on her head and the tail behind her, Xiao Ling, who came to the window, pushed open the window, looked down from the second floor, and then saw Gu Yu's figure.
"What's wrong? Even if he came here, the fact that Brother Gu Feng didn't come back won't change. Xiao Ling, who was lying on the windowsill, said weakly, but she misunderstood what Gu Yu meant.
"That kind of scum doesn't matter anymore!" Gu Yu actually had a very angry expression at this time.
In the leisure afternoon, just like a decadent young man with no value of existence (speaking of which, this guy is just that), Gu Feng, who was sleeping with his small quilt tightly wrapped in his own small quilt, suddenly shivered and shivered.
Got a cold?
In a trance, Gu Feng's mind floated through these four words, and then ......
It doesn't exist, this kind of thing is the same as choosing C in all ten multiple-choice questions and then it's all right, it's impossible, so ......
Is there any damn guy who is cursing Uncle Ben with the head-lowering technique?
......Shh Why do humans always like to do useless work?
Like a caterpillar, the ancient style wrapped in the quilt turned over ugly, and continued to sleep without any psychological burden.
"It's unbelievable that a girl was left alone without taking care of room and board!" Gu Yu, who heard Xiao Ling's response, raised his gaze, looked at Xiao Ling lying on the windowsill on the second floor, and continued to say indignantly.
Xiao Ling only noticed at this time that Gu Yu was still carrying a silver metal shelled insulated lunch box in his hand.
Tilting her head, Xiao Ling didn't seem to understand what Gu Yu said, and looked at Gu Yu suspiciously.
Two minutes later, Xiao Ling and Gu Yu, who were holding Huo'er in their arms, sat down at the stone table in the front yard.
"This is what I brought for you, eat it." Gu Yu opened the insulated lunch box, divided three compartments from it, placed them in front of Xiao Ling, and put a pair of chopsticks in Xiao Ling's hands very intimately.
Three dishes and one soup...... It's a luxurious combination for an old-fashioned style that has always been fed by leftovers. In fact, this guy occasionally comforts himself, calling the chili sauce, soybean paste, fermented bean curd and boiled water the so-called "three dishes and one soup" for pathetic self-comfort - it's really miserable......
Xiao Ling glanced at the food in front of her, and then at Gu Yu, who was looking at her with concern, although she wanted to say something, she still chose to deal with these meals first. Of course, Xiaoling has not even learned the indecent eating style of the ancient style, on the contrary, she is even like the eldest lady of a rich family, acting elegantly and taking small bites, not so much to eat, but to savor it.
"Miss Gu Yu, did you do this yourself?" After tasting a few bites, Xiao Ling asked Gu Yu with a slight surprise.
"Let's just say this...... What does it taste like? He replied a little embarrassed, and asked rhetorically with a little trepidation.
"It tastes very good, much better than the leftovers from the restaurant that Brother Gu Feng brought back."
This is only the first half of the sentence that can make people feel a little better, and then the next words will make people completely unable to find a reason to be happy. Is this complimenting me? Gu Yu said with a subtle expression.
"Of course I'm complimenting you, Miss Gu Yu. After all, Brother Gu Feng can only do carbon. ”
"It's another compliment." Gu Yu responded helplessly.
"Then again, I actually left the girl at home like this, what the hell was Gu Feng thinking!" Gu Yu still complained with no anger.
"It's not that Miss Gu Yu said it, Brother Gu Feng is naturally reasonable to do this." Xiao Ling looked at Gu Yu's eyes and said slowly, "After all, for me, this is not necessary. ”
"Huh? What does that mean? Gu Yu was really confused, she suddenly had a hunch that Xiao Ling would probably say things that were incompatible with common sense, just like Gu Feng.
"Literally, although I can't tell you the exact reason, I'm different from you, eating is not necessary for me, but more like a dispensable pastime or 'enjoyment'." Xiao Ling blinked the beautiful eyes of the feline, her short silver-white hair reflected the misty light in the sunlight, making the whole image seem hazy.
Gu Yu still looked like she couldn't understand, but she didn't dwell on this issue for too long, after all, she even accepted things like ghosts and ghosts that couldn't compete with the concept of "common sense", and it wasn't a little worse.
"But...... Thank you, Miss Gu Yu. After thinking about it, Xiao Ling continued, "In human behavior, for this situation, from my point of view, it should be said so, right?" ”
"Well, yes......" Gu Yu felt that this girl was really similar to Gu Feng, whether it was the plausible way of understanding interpersonal relationships, or the habit of speaking.
Speaking of which, what kind of relationship does she have with Gu Feng?
Looking at the beautiful girl in front of her, Gu Yu couldn't help but have such a question.
It's in a café again, and it's the two guys who give people the first impression of "these two are a couple", and when you look at it, they will produce "these two are definitely a couple".
"Is it okay to blend coffee?" The girl with her long, supple black hair in a double ponytail asked the young man across the table who had left her long hair behind.
"Yes."
The long-haired young man replied lightly.
"Understood." The girl playfully made a saluting gesture, and then said to the waitress who had been standing aside for a long time, ignored, and embarrassed, "Two cups of mixed coffee, thank you." ”
"Okay, please wait." After responding in a formatted manner, the waiter returned to the counter with his hands and feet neatly.
In recent years, the glass hearts of single dogs have become more and more fragile, and the single dogs who work in cafes with a high frequency of couples are in a sense simply looking for abuse, especially when encountering this kind of male and female appearance, suspected of being a natural pair, the critical damage in their hearts is usually measured in tons.
"What's going on with the ancient style?" As if talking to herself, the girl asked softly.
"Didn't you already make a rough confirmation from his Shikigami situation before?" Baili didn't answer, but asked rhetorically along the way.
"No, that's what I said, but we still can't know for sure what happened to him, right?" The girl said this, thought for a moment, and continued.
"When it comes to the specifics of Gu Feng, we still don't seem to know much about him."
Baili looked at the girl and did not respond, but signaled with his eyes that he was listening.
"Regardless of the information about him for the time being, what we can know at this stage is only that this clan has risen because of a technique, which is passed down from generation to generation through the bloodline, and it will consume the user's lifespan."
"However, these are just well-known information in the Yin and Yang Realm, except for the last point, there is no way to judge whether the others are true or false, and there is no way to rule out whether the information deliberately transmitted by the Gu clan people to interfere with the judgment of outsiders."
"That's true." Baili said in a deep voice, "Except for his strength, which is indeed not to be underestimated, there is no way to determine the authenticity of other information." ”
"Speaking of which, I haven't heard of a technique that consumes the user's lifespan before." The girl nodded, agreeing.
Coincidentally, at this time, the waiter brought the brewed coffee and granulated milk sugar together, skillfully placed it on the table of the two, and then raised one hand to his chest and bowed slightly.
"Please take your time."
Baili directly picked up the coffee in front of him, and didn't seem to have any intention of touching the sugar and milk, while the girl added both sugar and milk.
After taking a sip of coffee, Baili said to the girl, "There are a lot of things you haven't heard of." ”
"For example?" The girl squinted and stared at Baili Dao.
"For example, the definition of forbidden and unfinished arts."
“…… No. The girl pursed her lips, and though she was not happy, she answered truthfully.
"What they all have in common, they're all techniques that come at a price." Baili stopped and took a sip of coffee.
"Uh-huh." The girl motioned for him to continue.
"The difference is that the restrictions on forbidden techniques that violate the forbidden realm are absolute, and there are even forbidden techniques that are triggered at the cost of a part of the world. As for unfinished techniques, since there is a saying that they are unfinished, there is naturally a complete form, and as a completed technique, the price to be paid will become an 'acceptable' price. ”
"What does 'acceptable' mean?" The girl took Baili's portion of milk and sugar and added it to her coffee
"For example, if the trigger condition is one's own life when it is 'unfinished', then when it is 'completed', the trigger condition may become 'someone else's life'. Of course, there are other possibilities, but in any case, the 'cost' itself will not diminish or disappear. ”
Baili said as he looked at the girl who was stirring the coffee.
"That's a real problem."
The girl took a sip of coffee in the same way as Baili, and showed a slightly distressed expression.
"So...... What is the Gu clan's technique? ”
"Is it a forbidden technique that is taboo as rumored, or is it an unfinished technique?"
"I don't know, at least not yet."
