The streets of Gujiang City are spacious, cars and horses pass through, and occasionally you can see some mercenaries, they are dusty, looking straight ahead along the way, in the city, every street, every once in a while, there will be a team of city guards patrolling by.

The city guards of Gujiang City are highly disciplined, this is the city known as the royal capital, the most powerful warriors and mages come out from here, and the city guards are the most fundamental face.

Walking aimlessly, even if he gains extraordinary martial arts memories, it is difficult to erase the scars in his heart, and mourning is greater than dying.

Gu Feng doesn't want to believe that the weak eat the strong, even if the junior college has been teaching him these things imperceptibly for three years, he has read many biographies and historical records, many of them are in love with each other, he is willing to believe that there is still beauty, he has always believed that there is no absolute in this world, but such thoughts, he will see it every time, torn apart, scattered, and shattered.

Suddenly, there was a miserable cry in the distance, Gu Feng looked up, in front of a tavern, an old man fell to the ground, it seemed, it was twisted to the bare feet, the old man's face was a little distorted, his body was trembling, but the passers-by were afraid to avoid it, and even, no one looked at it, and walked straight by.

"In these years, who knows if it's true or not, if he is relied upon, won't we have to pay for him. ”

"That is, whether it's real or fake, let those rich people help, anyway, they have money, it doesn't matter if they are relied on, a little money, they don't care. ”

A pedestrian walked by, an indifferent voice came into his ears, and Gu Feng showed a slightly bitter smile: "Whether it's true or not, I can't help it." ”

In his memory, a pair of eyes looked at him, a little helpless, and a little hated that iron could not be made of steel, but he still went his own way, Gu Feng no longer remembered, a few times, he handed the money bag to the other party with a stunned gaze.

Walking to the old man's side, Gu Feng stretched out his hand, however, at the same time as him, there was another arm.

"It's the guy who recently came here and likes to walk in the dark!"

"Far away from him, I heard that he was a troubadour who traveled far and wide, but he always recited darkness. ”

"Yes, although I didn't do anything in my Gu Jiang City, it seems that I am about to be expelled, I am afraid that he will frighten some children, hey, there is also a young man, how can he be so stupid in these years. ”

This is a middle-aged man, his appearance is ordinary, but those eyes are as deep as the night, as if shrouded in endless darkness, you can see the stars, the middle-aged man is dressed in a black robe, his breath is a little cold, Gu Feng can't help but shiver a little, this person is too cold.

However, Gu Feng's hand was not withdrawn, but he helped the old man up with the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man glanced at Gu Feng, and his dark eyes flashed a little brightly.

The middle-aged man's hand stroked the old man's bare feet, and pressed a few times in different places, this technique was very skillful, the ancient style was certain, the middle-aged man must be proficient in some medical skills, and it was not surprising to him, after half a cup of tea, the old man's wheezing gradually calmed down.

"Now, there aren't many good people, thank you both. ”

After a while, the old man got up and left with a sigh, looking at the back of the old man leaving, Gu Feng was a little stunned.

"Little brother, how about I invite you to have a drink?"

Gu Feng was stunned, looked at the middle-aged man, those night-like eyes, for some reason, Gu Feng did not have the slightest refusal in his heart.

"Good. ”

The middle-aged man nodded, and the two walked into the tavern, some of them pointed, although most of them were towards the middle-aged man, and some were aimed at the ancient style.

"It looks quite honest, walking with such a person. ”

"It seems to have been bewitched. ”

At this moment, Gu Feng felt his heartbeat beat a little faster, and the middle-aged man glanced at him and did not speak. The tavern is not big, it is in the morning, the second floor is very clean, the two found a corner table, and the little servant reluctantly sent two jars of grain and wine, two bowls, and a few dishes.

Looking at the palm-sized sea bowl in front of him, Gu Feng's face was slightly pale, as a warrior, he began to drink alcohol at the age of thirteen the year before last, one accelerates the flow of blood and qi, increases the effect of refining the body boxing method, and promotes the growth of strength, and the other is a must-have thing to practice boxing in the cold every winter, even so, Gu Feng only dares to drink it in small cups, otherwise the stamina will come up all of a sudden, and he will get drunk after a while, how to talk about such a big sea bowl.

"I love the dark. ”

Without waiting for Gu Feng to speak, the middle-aged man grabbed a jar of grain and wine, poured himself a full bowl, he sat up straight, before Gu Feng obviously felt that he was as tall as himself, but at this moment, the other party was half a head taller than him, and even his eyes had to look up in order to contact the other party.

Seeing the middle-aged man raise his head and drink all the grain and wine with a lot of stamina, Gu Feng said, "What's so good about the darkness?"

Nodding, the middle-aged man's face remained unchanged, and he said, "Yes, I don't like the dark." ”

Gu Feng's eyes froze, but the middle-aged man then spoke: "But the place where the real light is shrouded does not need my existence. ”

Hearing such words for the first time, Gu Feng muttered, "So you are close to the darkness. ”

The second bowl of wine was full, and the middle-aged man stared at the ancient wind and said, "Because only where darkness is shrouded, light is needed, and real darkness devours light." ”

Gu Feng gave birth to a little enlightenment in his heart, and said: "So you preach the darkness because you want to blend in. ”

After the second bowl of wine was drunk, the middle-aged man wiped the wine that overflowed from the corner of his mouth and said, "I protect the way for darkness and light the fire of light." ”

Gu Feng seemed to understand a little, but he vaguely understood that the road of middle-aged people did not seem to be smooth.

Raising his hand and grabbing the wine jar in front of Gu Feng, the middle-aged man poured a full bowl for Gu Feng, and said seemingly casually: "Whether it is dark or light, if you look up, they will override it, real equality, you need to look at it levelly." ”

His heart was shocked, and at this moment, Gu Feng felt that some fragmentary memories in his mind had suddenly fused some, and the illusion of the original incarnation of the two had disappeared a lot.

Looking at the dark eyes in front of him, Gu Feng slowly straightened his back until he was at eye level, at this moment, Gu Feng gave birth to a strange feeling, and it seemed that the whole person was invisibly much more relaxed.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "It's a bit of a man." ”

Gu Feng smiled slightly, this moment was inexplicably relaxed, he grabbed the wine bowl on the table, and the crystal wine rippled gently.

"!"

A smile appeared at the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth, a bowl of wine was in his stomach, hot and hot, but at this moment, Gu Feng felt an incomparable comfort, this was a feeling he had never had, his body of qi and blood, rolling like a tide, if it wasn't in the tavern, he would have to play a body refining boxing method on the spot.

"Come again!"

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to speak, Gu Feng took the initiative to grab the wine jar, and the wine bowl in front of the two of them was full again.

"!"

Bowls of inferior and spicy grain and wine, the faster the fragmentary memories in his mind merge, vaguely, Gu Feng saw a blurred picture, in front of the gilded stone statue, on a futon, a bald young man grabbed a water tank-sized wine jar, poured violently, and a long groan sounded: "The vajra bowl in the Leiyin Temple, the golden Buddha sits in front of the vajra bowl, the bowl can be exchanged for a thousand catties of wine, and the Arhat is drunk and lying down, what can I do?"

His consciousness became more and more blurred, and in the haze, Gu Feng saw the middle-aged man put a pitch-black seed in front of him.

"Seeing each other is fate, little brother, this seed is given to you, as for whether it can really germinate, it depends on your chance, little brother. ”

"True light needs to be watered with darkness. ”

When Gu Feng woke up again, the middle-aged man had disappeared from the messy table, and then, he looked down, and on the table in front of him, a pitch-black seed was lying quietly, ordinary.

There was a hint of discoloration in his eyes, and Gu Feng muttered: "The real light needs to be watered with darkness, the dark protector." ”

After a few breaths, Gu Feng chuckled, at this moment, there was not the slightest cowardice in his eyes, and all the bitterness before was also gone, and he stood up, his backbone was as straight as a pillar of heaven, looking straight ahead, and every muscle and bone in his body seemed to be full of strength.

At this moment, the illusion of the original incarnation of the two no longer appeared, as if he was aware of his own changes, Gu Feng knew that at this moment, he stood up, not only stood up straight, but more importantly, his heart changed.

Walking out of the tavern, the little guy who cleaned up the mess stared at Gu Feng's back with some suspicion, he felt a little different, but he couldn't say it, and finally he could only curse himself for a nervous sentence and continue to start the daily cycle of work.

In the middle of the day, the ancient wind looked up, the dazzling sun was golden, in the distance, the mage tower belonging to the first ancient ginger academy was golden and bright, and a huge pearl at the top of the tower reflected the sun, like a tiny sun.

"A place of light that doesn't need my presence. ”

Gu Feng's eyes were slightly condensed, and after a few breaths, he finally made up his mind and turned around to stop a carriage soliciting customers.

"Where is the little brother going?"

"Gutong City, Guqin Academy. ”

Regardless of the coachman's surprise, Gu Feng sat in the carriage, his body sat straight, the coachman looked at him, suddenly felt a little inexplicable panic, and finally did not ask anything, the carriage followed the street, out of the ancient Thai royal capital.

Through the curtains, Gu Feng glanced at the majestic ancient city again, and finally withdrew his gaze.

"I'll be back. ”
