Chapter 026: A Shock from Memory
Gu Yan's face was very pale, and the deep wrinkles seemed to be full of sorrow and misfortune in his life.
His eyelids kept beating, wanting to open his eyes and welcome Zhou Yan's arrival, but this process was extremely difficult.
But he is still trying to do it, and what is simple for others is difficult for him.
He had long snow-white hair, which made him look even older at this time because of his lack of energy at this time, but he still opened his eyes at this time.
As soon as his eyes opened, there was also a lightning-like sword aura in his somewhat cloudy gaze, which was sharp and lightning-like shรจ towards the place where Zhou Yan was, and suddenly, he saw Zhou Yan's handsome face with concern and a bit of vicissitudes and deep meaning.
This face is a face he is very familiar with, but this face is a little more wild and uninhibited and a little less melancholy than the familiar face in his memory.
His gaze, from sharp, became slightly stunned, and then gradually became extremely soft. That kind of harshness, inadvertently, has completely dissipated.
Yan'er...... I didn't expect it to be you...... After all these years, you've had a good time...... It's a good ......."
Gu Yan muttered softly, and in his tone, he did not hide his deep concern.
"Uncle Gu, I'm doing well, don't worry. Zhou Yan walked over, came to Gu Yan's side, and gently helped him who was about to stand up.
At this time, his condition was not good, but his injuries were obviously better than that of Feng Lingqing, and he seemed to belong to the injury of a burst of seizure mode, rather than a continuous attack.
Therefore, after observing a series of changes in Gu Yan, Zhou Yan was more at ease.
"Okay, over the years, the Gu family has declined, and it's not like we haven't seen you, but it's a pity that the Gu family has no status, and now even the gate of the Zhou family is not allowed to enter...... It's uncle useless...... In fact, my uncle also knows that you have suffered all these years. โ
Gu Yan's somewhat embarrassing words moved Zhou Yan for a while.
Some people, no matter how well they pretend, will always show flaws, just like the elder Zhou Wuyan, but some people, just a few words, can make people feel the sincerity in their bones, such as this ancient inkstone.
Zhou Yan is no longer a child, with the inheritance of the grandmaster, his heart, induction and other aspects are far more sensitive than ordinary people, at this time, after he experienced Gu Yan's helpless and powerless state of mind, he also felt a little more touching.
If it is an ordinary person, going to the Zhou family and being turned away, it is estimated that most of them will be a little uncomfortable, after all, the head of the same family, although he is not as good as the Zhou family, but he is not a person without status, but he can't even enter the door of the Zhou family......
But in Gu Yan's words, he did not blame the Zhou family for being unkind, but ...... The words are extremely sincere, but they are just sighing and blaming themselves, because they are not strong enough.
At this moment, with just a few words, in Zhou Yan's heart, Gu Yan's status became a little heavier.
"Uncle Gu, the matter of the Zhou family is that the Zhou family can't live with you, and in the future, if I am in charge of the house one day, there will definitely be no such situation. โ
Zhou Yan avoided his own things and didn't say anything, but just said a word about the status of the family, which was equivalent to giving Gu Yan a message - the Zhou family, at present, he can't be the master of the house, these things have nothing to do with him, he is not a person who forgets his righteousness.
"Well, I know, what kind of friends I have made, I don't know, but the more this is the case, the more worried I am about your father...... Now that I see you wearing spirit armor, they don't dare to embarrass you too much, so I'm a lot more relieved. โ
Gu Yan also misunderstood this time.
"Father, this spirit armor is actually Zhou Yan's elder brother...... The Zhou family is bad for Zhou Yan's brother......"
Gu Xi couldn't help but interject a few words, and generally said a few words that summarized Xing's explanation, explaining the relationship between Zhou Yan and the Zhou family.
"How can this be reasonable! It really is unreasonable, these people are just bastards, they don't want to think about it, if there was no Brother Wangchen at the beginning, where would ......there be the Zhou family today?
"Alas, Yan'er, uncle is incompetent, let you be wronged, uncle thinks he has been silently paying attention to you all these years, but you have suffered such a big grievance, but uncle doesn't know at all!"
There was a deep sense of guilt in Gu Yan's eyes, and the incomparable anger he had before had now turned into a kind of powerless sadness.
This kind of sadness makes his deep wrinkles like earthworms seem incomparably deep, and there seem to be countless pains hidden in the deep ravines.
"Uncle, believe me, I'll get better, you see, I'm not very good now?"
Zhou Yan gently patted Gu Yan's back, for a long time, he didn't feel the kind of affection that was taken care of, this Gu Yan, almost all regarded him as a 'son', this kind of good, although he had felt it when he was a child, it was far less profound than what he felt at this time.
"Well, don't talk about that, Yan'er, if you come this time, just walk around with Xi'er a lot, it's a distraction, and those who have passed, let them pass."
In my uncle's place, you don't see outsiders, just like your own family, my uncle is just a small family here, and now it is even more declining, but the people here don't have much outside hearts, they are all their own people. โ
Gu Yan said earnestly.
"Uncle, I know. But there is one thing you may be wrong, the Gu family is not so simple. โ
Zhou Yan's words were a little more solemn.
At this time, Gu Yan's pain had passed, and his face gradually recovered a little.
"Hmm, Yan'er, what do you mean by that?"
Gu Yan's face was also slightly stunned, Zhou Yan's words, he believed it, no matter how long he hadn't seen him, Zhou Yan's father's personality was already there, how could he not believe Zhou Yan? He asked, just realizing that it was possible that something very serious happened to his daughter Gu Xi.
"I'll talk about this later, uncle, this time, do you know who hurt you like this?"
Zhou Yan asked.
Gu Yan exhaled lightly and said indifferently: "Although my uncle is a small person, he was also your father's loyal guard at the beginning, and he has followed your father all over the world and killed countless people all his life! It is also a matter of course that others want to punish me, so how can I carefully spend my energy to find out what their origin is? What tricks are there, when they come, I will follow them." โ
When Zhou Yan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Uncle, I know that you are a character who stands up to the sky, and you are not afraid of life and death, but you and my father are all very unruly and amorous characters, if you are framed and killed by such vicious means, wouldn't it be the pleasure of your relatives and enemies?"
When Gu Yan heard this, a somewhat bleak smile appeared on his face: "Yes, I was like this before, I don't care, whoever provokes it, I will kill whom, but ...... Now, I am naturally a little unwilling to suffer such a heavy blow, but ...... What else do I have to find out now?"
Gu Yan's words made Zhou Yan's face a little more solemn: "Uncle, although you are not in good health, there are still many people in the Gu family who can use it, right?"
"Hehe, those people, almost all of them are dead. This ancient family, now there are only a few of us who are old and immortal, as well as some third-generation disciples. Gu Yan said, already closing his eyes.
Zhou Yan was silent for a long time, and said, "Xixi said, this time it was the Yang family who made the move?"
"The Yang family did make a move, and it was Yang Qingtan who injured me, but I don't blame him. โ
After a long time, Gu Yan opened his eyes again.
Zhou Yan said: "Why?"
Gu Yan was silent, but did not answer.
"Uncle, are you worried that I will confront this Yang Qingtan and thus put myself in danger?" Zhou Yan sighed softly, he was not stupid, so he would naturally think so.
"No...... Yang Qingtan defeated me openly, he has always been a very decisive person, such a means to make life worse than death is definitely not his means!" Gu Yan shook his head and said with certainty.
When Zhou Yan heard this, he was also a little stunned: "Uncle, if he hurt you so badly, then why did you still help him speak...... Yan'er, I ...... Somewhat confused. โ
"You don't know him. When I first met Yang Qingtan, he was still a child. โ
Gu Yan's tone was a little gloomy, but he fell into memories.
That time, he was at the rapids and waterfalls of Tianji Mountain, where he kept hitting upwards.
At that time, he was a waste of the Yang family and an abandoned son of the Yang family......
He rushed to the waterfall again and again, wielding a broken sword without a sharp edge.
At that time, his deep and firm eyes deeply shocked me!
For so many years, I have never forgotten his eyes that year, like an imprint into the soul, indelible. โ
"At that time, I said, 'If you squeeze your potential like this, your body will be ruined, and eventually, you will be reduced to waste.'" โโ
"At that time, he bit his lip and was bleeding profusely, but he didn't even look at me, and said indifferently, 'I am already a waste of the family, and I have been expelled from the family, can there be a worse ending than now? Why squeezing potential, we must not open the shackles of the body? I can't become a talent? I don't believe it!'"
The waterfall that is like thunder, the power of the blow, even if I was at that time, I may not be able to support it for a few hours, this kind of strength is the strength of breaking muscles and bones, fierce and domineering, and the power is invincible!
He pounded again and again, constantly upward, but every time, he was beaten to the bottom by the torrent.
I watched there for an hour, and he never gave up, but he never succeeded, but his body, almost bloody and miserable, was unsightly.
He persevered until one day, before I got there, and I saw him standing on the waterfall at the summit of the rapids.
He is dressed in shabby clothes and has a short sword, but he has the aura of a generation of sword saints!
He was fifteen years old, broke through the four realms, and comprehended the sword intent!"
