Chapter 312: The Final Bet

Saying goodbye is always sad, but fortunately, I am the only one here, and I don't feel everyone's sadness, and my own sadness seems to be blown away by the wind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info After I settled Gu Xiulian, I waited quietly, waited until everyone came over, said a final goodbye to Gu Xiulian, and then lit the fire and sent Gu Xiulian away.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a voice came from the opposite side of the Flying Immortal Valley. Ah Jiu, Gu Kui, Zhang Xuanwei, Ruan Xiaohu, Gu Jingfeng, and the Gu family appeared on the opposite side of the valley. Ah Jiu stood on the stone and shouted loudly, "Xiao Ning, how is it?" ”

I replied, "Grandpa Gu is gone." ”

Ah Jiu hurriedly jumped down from the stone. Run fast. The road in the Flying Immortal Valley was extremely difficult to walk, and the speed at which everyone traveled was very slow. I stood in the wind and waited for a long time, and it was five o'clock. Ah Jiucai brought Gu Kui and Zhang Xuanwei and his party over.

When everyone saw the white-haired Gu Xiulian on the shelf, they were all sad.

Gu Fengfeng's eyes were red, and he shouted: "Senior, I wanted to ask you to bring the younger generation, but I didn't expect you to pass away like this." God really didn't open his eyes, and left us like this. ”

Gu Feng pounced and knelt in front of the shelf, tears dripping down.

Although Ah Jiu was stabbed by Gu Xiulian, the two also have a relationship to go to Japan together, and watching the end of a generation of legends, Ah Jiu's eyes also turned red.

Ah Jiu said sadly: "A few days ago, I saw my seniors show their might. Unexpectedly, today's seniors fell asleep. Life is really impermanent, and I hope that my predecessors can leave with peace of mind. Ah Jiu admired Gu Xiulian in his heart, and he also knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Ruan Xiaohu is also a temperamental person, kneeling on the ground, silent, letting the tears remain, the red bamboo snake on his shoulder also slipped down, lying on the ground, and he also felt very uneasy.

Gu Kui, Zhang Xuanwei and Gu Xiulian have been together for more than half a month, and they also love Gu Xiulian very much in their hearts, looking at Gu Xiulian sleeping on the thatch on the shelf, they can't help but feel sad and painful, and tears are flowing like streams.

I exclaimed, "When Grandpa Gu left, he asked me to settle his inheritance, and then meditated and died without any pain. Do not be upset, and do not weep. He told me that he did not want the body to remain, and told me to be cremated as soon as possible. Everyone, stand back and don't let the flames hurt you. ”

I took out the torch and lit it with a fire breaker.

The afternoon wind blew, and the flames on the torches swayed with the wind, and all at once they burned vigorously.

Everyone stepped back a little, I glanced at Gu Xiulian in the fire, and said in my heart: "Grandpa Gu, go all the way." ”

I took a deep breath and threw the torch out. The torch fell to the edge of the thatch and burst into flames. A puff of white smoke rose and soon dispersed, and the branches of the trees burned with it. In the raging fire, Gu Xiulian disappeared in the flames.

Gu Kui and Zhang Xuanwei's cries gradually became louder, and everyone's faces were covered with a sad emotion. Ah Jiu stood up and said, "This fire may not be big enough, go get some dry firewood." ”

Ah Jiu jumped out, and half an hour later, he came back with a bundle of firewood, and found some fire oil from the side of the medicine house, with the help of fire oil, the fire was bigger, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the flames were blowing into the sky. For a moment, the mountains and forests were silent, and only the sound of the fire was heard.

My mind was at times calm, sometimes restless, and my head was dizzy, not knowing what I was thinking. The fire went on for hours. It burned from the afternoon until dark, and then gradually extinguished. Gu Xiulian also returned to dust, leaving only white bones.

I said, "Grandpa Gu said, the old grave was dug up, the coffin was opened, and the bones were put inside." ”

Ah Jiu stepped forward to help. We bulldozed the head of the fake grave, revealing a black lacquered coffin, presumably when Gu Xiulian made the fake grave, he had already thought that he would sleep in it for many years.

The light was getting dimmer, it was getting dark, a full moon floated in the eastern sky, and more torches were lit, illuminating the medicine house.

After Ah Jiu and I dug up the coffin, we opened the lid of the coffin. It was empty and well kept, and it was supposed to have a pill of some kind of quality. Repels the bite of insects and ants.

The coffin contained some clothes and an envelope with the word "open" written on it. It is probably because he was afraid that future generations would ignore the letter, so he wrote such a word on the cover.

I hurriedly opened the envelope, and there were a few lines of text written on it, which was Gu Xiulian's handwriting: Xiao Qi deduced after drinking, I Gu Xiulian and him were five meters apart after his death, and someone saw this letter to show that Xiao Qi guessed correctly. In fact, I can entrust the person who opened the letter to help me change the tomb again, but since it is Xiao Qi's deduction, it will not destroy his prestige.

Seeing this, I couldn't help laughing, handed the envelope to Ah Jiu, and said, "The two of them are really interesting." ”

It turned out that Grandpa had calculated earlier that the two would be next to each other after death, five meters apart. Gu Xiulian left a letter in the coffin, stating that he could change this ending, but in order to preserve Xiao Qi's prestige, he would not change it. I actually won Xiao Qi.

After Ah Jiu saw it, he shook his head and said, "Maybe Feng Shui Master Xiao expected that even if Gu Xiulian could change this layout, he wouldn't change it." So in the final analysis, it was Lord Xiao who was better than Gu Xiulian. ”

Ah Jiu said this, which makes sense. In any case, the two will have to compete with each other in the end, and it doesn't matter who wins and who loses.

I smiled and said, "At that time, my grandfather asked me to build a mound next to Gu Xiulian's grave, and it turned out that this was the reason." Grandpa has been hiding it and not saying it, he wants to make a bet with Gu Xiulian. Gu Xiu didn't even say anything before he died, but left such a letter in the coffin early. ”

The appearance of this letter diluted the gloom that hung over my heart.

Life and death are in the eyes of grandpa and Gu Xiulian. It's not too dignified, it's just a fun betting game. Gu Xiulian or grandpa never felt how terrible life and death were.

Life and death are not terrible, terrible is the fear of life and death.

Ah Jiu said: "In this way, Mr. Gu did not lose, and Lord Xiao did not lose either. They fought all their lives, and finally came back like this, which conveyed their friendship to the world. Haha, interesting, interesting. There have never been many people I admire, and their attitude is worthy of my admiration, so I'm going to kowtow to them a few more times! ”

Grandpa had many friends, and the person who insisted on a lifelong friendship was a Taoist priest. When they first met, they were rivals in life and death, who would have thought that they would eventually become lifelong friends, they could trust each other in life and death, and they could joke for a lifetime.

Friends who can joke for a lifetime, how many can you meet in this life.

I took off my coat, picked out Gu Xiulian's bones from the ashes, and carried them to the side of the coffin.

Finally, it is placed in a black lacquered coffin, covered with the clothes placed in the coffin, and when everything is done, the coffin lid is nailed on, and when everything is in order, it is covered with earth. Soon, the grave returned to its original appearance, and several black centipedes crawled quickly, burrowed into the dirt, and soon disappeared.

Gu Xiulian slept here completely, echoing his grandfather's well-dressed mound five meters away. The twin stars that echoed each other in the previous era are sleeping here. No matter how many changes the world has undergone, the stories that happened in the last era are constantly being told, and new stories and new characters will reappear.

Ah Jiu does what he says. Kneeling between the two tombs, he kowtowed and said, "You are the great people, and your story is worth telling." ”

The medicine house collapsed, and the vegetable field was barren, and since then. No one will ever live here again. Lonely birds began to chirp in the distance, and the empty night breeze on the mountains began to blow.

Gu Jingfeng was going to arrange a ritual for Gu Xiulian.

I said, "Grandpa Gu said that he doesn't like to be lively, and since he has been buried, he doesn't need any rituals." Let's go, don't make it too grand, so as not to disturb the peace of Grandpa Gu. ”

Gu Jingfeng nodded and said, "Since the predecessor has such an order, then I will no longer arrange it." A person like my predecessors, I'm afraid I will never be able to foresee it in my life. ”

I found the bag and counted out the gold bars, which Gu Xiulian had earned when he was young, and later turned into gold bars, each of which was very pure gold, and the weight of each one was not small.

I counted out ten and handed it to Gu Jingfeng, and said, "According to Grandpa Gu's arrangement, ten pieces of gold will be handed over to you, and you will use it for the reconstruction of the Gu family." This is also a little bit of Grandpa Gu's heart. ”

Although the ancient family is dilapidated, it has been hit hard. But the family foundation accumulated over the years is still very rich, and ten pieces of gold are nothing to the Gu family, but it is also a part of Gu Xiulian's heart.

Gu Frightening did not refuse, and took the gold bar.

I counted out eighteen gold bars and handed them to Ruan Xiaohu. Said: "Grandpa Gu said before that it was okay to ruin your matter of making money to marry Ma Shengxue, these eighteen gold bars are for you, don't refuse, it won't be interesting to refuse." ”

Ruan Xiaohu's muscles twitched twice, he took the gold bar with both hands, and said, "Okay, thank you Gu senior." ”

After giving away twenty-eight gold bars, there was only one left in the whole bag.

I said, "The last one was arranged by Mr. Gu and was to be delivered to my grandma." He said that he was thinking for my grandfather. ”

The tuxedo smiled and said: "Haha, Xiao Ning, gold has been touching since ancient times, you give away all the gold, and leave only one for your grandma, you are really a stupid child." I see that Miss Zhang will follow you in the future, and she will have a hard life. ”

I glanced at my tuxedo and said, "I am according to Grandpa Gu's arrangement, this gold bar is for my grandma, not for me." I'm still young, and there are plenty of opportunities to make money in the future. Tuxedo laughed again and said, "Don't worry, the Meng family's money can be at your disposal!" ”

The night was getting late, and Gu Jingfeng had already arranged for someone to notify Sanqingguan, and in the middle of the night, food and water were delivered. The group cleaned up the grass hut and looked for an open space to rest, while the two ladies went into a nearby cave to rest.
