Chapter Seventy-Five: Gu Yan

"Do you remember the last time Master told you that thirty years ago, when I found out that Gu Yan was missing, I asked for leave and went straight to Luojiagou to find out about him? When I came out of the cave that day, I found that it was still Luojiagou, and I didn't cross here, so I thought of the rain that day, so I waited in the village for four or five days, and then when it rained again, I hurriedly ran up the mountain, and this time I entered the cave and really wore it here again. ”

"Is rain necessary for crossing?"

"Hmmm! After that, every time I came back, I had to wait for it to rain in Luojiagou. At that time, it had been more than two months since Gu Yan's disappearance, and I went down the mountain to look for news of him, because our dress was more special, and after three days of searching, I found his traces in the neighboring village, and in just two months, he let the people of the whole village worship him as a god. The little tricks he played were as magical as fairy magic in the eyes of the villagers. ”

"And then?"

"When I first saw him, he restrained a little, but after several persuasions, he not only did not listen, but also became even more unscrupulous. In order to gain more wealth and followers, he made poison and threw it into a well in a nearby village, causing the whole village to suffer from a bad disease. Then he went on a walk to spread rumors that those who did not believe in him had been damned, and these rumors spread like a plague in a dozen or so nearby villages, and the villagers, fearing that disaster would fall from heaven, rushed to offer money to keep them safe. ”

Daoist Chong Yuan sighed heavily before opening his mouth again: "I saw that the situation was getting more and more serious, so I spoke out to stop it, but I didn't expect to have a dispute with him. In desperation, he could only move his tricks to expose his true colors. But at that time, the villagers had been poisoned by him, and not only did they not believe what I said, but they were also instructed by him to besiege me to the mountain, where I stayed for seven days before it rained again, and I had to go back to modern times under hunger and cold. Later, because I received a new scientific research project, I was invited to be a visiting professor, so I put it on hold. During this period, I also tried to come again, but often I stayed in the village for more than ten days without rain, so I couldn't take care of it. ”

"Then if no one exposes Gu Yan, wouldn't it be to cause chaos in the world if it continues to develop like this!" The more Ai Qing listened, the more nervous she felt.

"How can the pillow of the Son of Heaven allow others to sleep soundly! When I came back, it was half a year later, and I thought that Gu Yanding had used those tricks to expand his power even more, but in fact, he had attracted the attention of the imperial court when his power expanded more and more. The emperor was afraid that if this continued, he would one day cause a rebellion, so he sent troops to encircle and suppress him, so he had to hide back in Luojiagou with the few remaining believers. As soon as I came out of the cave, I watched as he brought men to carry boxes of gold and silver up the mountain. ”

"He wants to bring this gold and silver back to modern times?" Ai Qing was stunned when he heard this: "If this is the case, he won't ......"

Daoist Chong Yuan sneered and said, "How can it be so easy!" Because I had suffered a loss, I saw that there were many others, so I hid behind the bushes and secretly observed, and in the middle of the night, the rain began to fall and stopped, I went out to see, he was gone, and the others carried the boxes intact and walked out, halfway through, someone found that he was missing and was about to look for him, I hid in the dark and learned a few ghost calls, and those people were so frightened that they ran down the mountain carrying the boxes. I was afraid that he would publicize the matter and cause turmoil in the two worlds when he returned to modern times, so I followed him back at noon the next day, taking advantage of the rain. ”

In the past 30 years, even if it is used as a story, Daoist Chongyuan has been telling it for a whole morning.

Gu Yan came out of the cave and found that he was alone, Rao was unwilling to stay at the entrance of the cave and wait for the rain to go back, until Chongyuan Daoist also came out of the cave, he did not leave, so he was relieved of some worries.

At that time, Daoist Chong Yuan was in the prime of life and was a head taller than Gu Yan, and it was not difficult to catch him, but even if he stopped him for a while, he couldn't let him keep this secret forever. Gu Yan has become reckless for money and power, and after returning to the village, he has tried his best to return to the village, and has also publicized the things in the cave, and brought many people into the cave.

When Daoist Chongyuan heard the news, he had already sparsely pulled most of the people away, and when he asked, he knew that the cave could not be crossed at all, and everyone said that Gu Yan was mentally deranged and played with everyone, and he only regarded him as a psychopath and never talked about it again. For some reason, the cave really couldn't be crossed after that day.

Gu Yan suffered the consequences, and the good work of the research institute was gone, and he was even more unwilling, and he had to go to the cave again every six months or a year, and it would take eight years to try.

Eight years of change have transformed the small village, which was poor with only a dozen families, into a small town with hundreds of residents. The thorn bushes at the mouth of the cave had also been bulldozed, and the occasional villager who had gone up to the hill would go in to rest. Gu Yan looked at the unrecognizable cave and completely broke his thoughts, walked into the cave and turned around twice before coming out, but this time he found that he had crossed over here again.

These things were also pieced together later by Daoist Chongyuan based on the conversations he had with Gu Yan several times. Later, when Daoist Chongyuan heard that Gu Yan had disappeared a year later, he hurried to find that coal resources had been found in the back mountain of Luojiagou, and the entire mountain was about to be hollowed out, and the cave no longer existed.

Daoist Chongyuan sat in the original position of the cave all night, and did not get up until dawn to plan to go back, but this time he got up and raised his eyes to find that he had crossed over again. The mountain is still the same mountain, but the cave has been dug up and flattened as in modern times, and later I learned that Gu Yan was afraid that Chong Yuan Dao Chang would come again, so he simply destroyed the cave and cut off his way of coming and his own way of retreat.

This time, Daoist Chong Yuan inquired for a whole month but failed to find any trace of Gu Yan, the only thing that could be sure was that he had indeed returned here, which he naturally learned from the villagers. Thinking that this matter was more or less related to him, Daoist Chongyuan simply resigned from his job at the scientific research institute and spent most of his time traveling to this world to find traces of Gu Yan.

In order to survive, Chongyuan Daoist changed his name to the Hui, became a doctor, and traveled all over the world to find Gu Yan to cure and save people. After another half a year, I finally heard Gu Yan's whereabouts, and went to the village where Gu Yan was hiding several times.

At night, Chong Yuan Dao Chang was about to enter the village to find him, just arrived at the corner, he saw Gu Yan carrying a child towards the outside of the village, Chong Yuan Dao Chang followed him to see what he was going to do, walked for half an hour, Gu Yan stopped at a narrow hole, the hole was very hidden, and from time to time there would be a few wolf howls, Yuan Chong Dao Chang was about to step forward and saw Gu Yan directly throw the child on his shoulder into the hole, this child is the young Mu Chun.

The wild wolf saw the delicious meal and pounced forward to bite it, and Chong Yuan Dao Chang hurriedly rushed over and grabbed a handful of the drug from the medicine box he carried and threw it into the hole, the evil wolf and Gu Yan fell to the ground in an instant, and Mu Chun also fainted.

Seeing that Mu Chun, who was bitten and covered in blood, Chongyuan Daoist hurriedly bandaged his wounds, and then found a dilapidated house to live in and waited for him to wake up. As for why Gu Yan would go to great lengths to kidnap Mu Chun and throw him into the wolf's den, the two of them still haven't been able to guess until now.

------

As soon as the morning dawn appeared, Ai Qing was awakened by Ah Qi. Because of today's enthronement ceremony, she moved to the palace with Mu Chunju last night, and now the name of this palace is Qinghua Palace, which was named by Mu Chundui himself.

She also knew when she entered the palace yesterday that Mu Chun decided how much effort she put into this palace, and all the furnishings in this palace were arranged according to her preferences and habits, knowing that she liked to study medicine, she also moved the medicine in the cellar, and even the stone table in the Huxin Pavilion where the chess game was set up also made the guards move to the palace intact, which made Ai Qing feel moved for a while, and served him well as soon as he was happy last night. However, this man's iron body was nothing, but he was so tired that he seemed to collapse.

Now the masters and girls in this palace have been replaced with mirrors made of glass and mercury, which are much clearer than the bronze mirrors before. Ah Qi held Ai Qing's hair in a bun, looked at her tired expression in the mirror and asked, "Miss, didn't you sleep well last night?" Why do you look tired after waking up for a long time? ”
