Chapter 44: The End of the World
"Have you found out, why did Shadow Village suddenly target us, how much do they know?" Gu Tianxiang was angry for a moment, nodded, and suddenly raised his name to Gu Ming. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"The news of the Yuanshi mine should be aware. Gu Mingyang smiled bitterly: "Before the fight, Yan Kun, the big boss of the Shadow Village, bluntly said that our Gu family eats meat, and they also want to drink soup, obviously they really have some information. ā
It is a pity that those who are in the council hall at this time are the core figures of the Gu family, if outsiders hear that the existence of the Yuan Stone Mine is actually mastered in the family, I am afraid that an uproar will break out soon.
Between heaven and earth, there is an infinite amount of Yuan power, some places are thin, some places are rich, and even can be transformed from virtual to real, and naturally condense Yuan Shi. After accumulating over time, the yuan stone is piled up into minerals, which is the yuan stone mine.
The existence of the metastone mine is like a natural treasure trove that can continuously produce metastone, and the speed and scale of production of metastone vary according to the size of the vein. However, even the smallest vein is extremely precious, and there are only a handful in the entire Wind Spirit Kingdom. A small Tianya Gu family actually mastered such a vein, if the news spread, it would definitely cause a bloody storm.
"Hmph, the discovery of the Yuan Stone Mine is the biggest secret of the family, even among our clansmen, we don't know too much, but it has actually reached the ears of the thieves of the Shadow Village, even if it is just to catch the wind and shadows, this is not unusual, and we must step up the investigation. The matter of the Yuan Stone Mine is a matter of life and death for the family, and I don't want to wait for all the forces to gather in Gujia Town, and I don't know who leaked the family's secrets. ā
"There are not many people who know the existence of the Yuanshi Mine, as long as they continue to investigate, sooner or later there will be a time when the water will come out, but in order to avoid startling the snake, they can only investigate secretly, which consumes more time. Gu Chengyang said calmly.
"The investigation of the traitor must also be stepped up, and once the clues are found, no matter who it is, it will definitely not be tolerated. This kind of traitor who eats inside and outside must not be spared. Several elders also had gloomy faces, no matter how strong the castle was, it couldn't withstand the damage inside. The presence of a traitor in the family is the most taboo thing.
"It's just a shadow village, what qualifications do you have to provoke our Gu family, I'm afraid there is still a black hand behind it. "The Great Elder said, although the thieves of the Shadow Village are fierce, but the strength of the Gu family is there, and if there is no strong support, it is impossible at all.
"The actions of the Shadow Village, I'm afraid it's just a temptation by the black hand behind the scenes, and the other party shouldn't be sure what our family has gained, so he came to ask for directions. Gu Tianxiang's expression moved slightly, and a trace of fierceness flashed.
"Gather your men, get ready, and in three days, you'll be bloodied in the Shadow Village. No matter who the black hand behind it is, let him know that if you want to reach out to our ancient family, you must be ready to cut off your hand. ā
"That's right, our Gu family is not easy to mess with, even if the opponent is big, we have to break a few of his front teeth. The Great Elder also looked fierce and said viciously.
...
Gu Xing didn't know the family's arrangement, and with his identity and strength, he was far from being able to reach the height of being able to access the family's secrets. So, he didn't know anything about all this.
When he returned to the Gujia Manor, he naturally wanted to meet his stepmother Bai Ningxue for the first time.
"Since you're back, you can stay in peace, and if you have any needs in the future, you can come to me." "Bai Ning Snowman, as her name suggests, is really as cold as ice and snow, and she is as beautiful as a flower, and she rarely has a smile on her face. At this time, looking at the handsome, confident and calm young man in front of her, she really had mixed feelings in her heart, which was extremely complicated.
Bai Ningxue is not a mean person, Gu Bai's two families have been friends for generations, she and Gu Fengyang are also childhood sweethearts, and they have a good relationship, and they have already decided on a family affair.
When Gu Fengyang was fifteen years old, he cultivated to advance to the Qi Cultivation Realm, and was sent by his family to a mysterious place to cultivate. Originally, the two parties agreed that when Gu Fengyang returned, they would get married. But who knew that Gu Fengyang, who had returned from training, actually had a five-year-old child by his side. And in any case, he did not admit that this was an adopted child, and bluntly said that it was his own biological son.
The childhood sweetheart's partner was actually taken first, which is tantamount to a humiliation for Bai Ningxue herself and her family.
The family affairs of the two families even almost fell apart because of this, after all, she and Gu Fengyang had a deep relationship, and after some twists and turns, the two were still married. It's just that there is an extra thorn in her heart.
This thorn is Gu Xing.
Bai Ningxue is not a mean and vicious person, and she never thought of venting this resentment on Gu Xing, but she really can't be generous enough to be kind to Gu Xing, and her smile is opposite. can only choose to treat it indifferently, come out of sight, and even directly send Gu Xing to Gujia Town.
I haven't seen her for three years, and in her impression, Gu Xing is still the same martial arts waste material who is a little old, but after all, he looks cowardly, but this time, Gu Xing's temperament has changed greatly, which makes her a little unable to see through.
"Thank you, Aunt Bai. Gu Xing smiled lightly and nodded, he naturally knew that this was just a polite remark, but it could never be taken seriously.
Next to Bai Ningxue was a seven or eight-year-old boy with smart eyes and cute elves, it was Gu Xing's half-brother Gu Yun, a martial arts genius with a nine-star root.
"Brother, it's great that you're finally back. Bai Ningxue was indifferent, but Gu Yun was quite enthusiastic.
"Good brother, I haven't seen you for three years, but you have grown a lot taller. Gu Xing smiled sincerely, although Bai Ningxue was indifferent to herself, she was definitely not vicious, and she usually did not prohibit Gu Yun from contacting her, so the relationship between the two brothers was not bad.
"Brother, is Gujia Town fun? Have you brought me a gift? Mom always forbids me to go, I'm really angry. Gu Yun was a little excited, he didn't look down on his brother who was a waste of martial arts like the other young clansmen in the family. This may be because he is still in the foundation stage of martial arts, and he has not really started to cultivate, so he can't feel the importance of martial arts talent, and it is also because of his previous memories.
In his memory, Gu Xing's brother was a very capable person, always had a lot of unbelievable ideas and ideas, and always made a lot of fun and delicious food to make him happy.
"Okay, what don't you have now?What gift does he want?" Bai Ningxue couldn't look at it, scolded coldly, and said to Gu Xing: "It's nothing, you can go down first! Your room is still in the West Wing Courtyard in the outer courtyard, I will send you a maid over, and you can tell her to do anything." ā
"Thank you, Aunt Bai. Gu Xing sighed secretly in his heart, looking at Gu Yun who was full of grievances, but he could only retire for the time being.
The west wing of the outer courtyard, this was Gu Xing's previous residence, Gu Xing went in and took a look, and the furnishings were still the same. The most conspicuous thing is a huge bookcase filled with all kinds of books.
These books are also collected by Gu Xing, and in order to collect these ancient books, he has put a lot of effort into it, and of course many of them are also collected by Gu Fengyang.
Outside the bookcase, there is a bed, a table, and a few chairs in the room, and the furnishings are very simple, but there is no dust to be seen, and it is obvious that someone often cleans it.
"Back in Tianya City, cultivation is not as convenient as Gujia Town. Alas, there are no endless demon beasts, no natural waterfalls, and not even an opponent, and with such a cultivation, the speed will be slowed down by at least half.
I hope that this kind of day can pass as soon as possible, and once the threat is lifted, I should be able to return to Gujia Town, and I don't have to stay in Tianya City anymore. Gu Xing sighed, this courtyard is not small, much more spacious than the small courtyard of Gujia Town, but this Tianya City is not as good as Gujia Town, there is a dragon and a crouching tiger in the family, and even his stepmother Bai Ningxue also has the cultivation of the middle stage of the Returning Yuan Realm, so you have to be careful when cultivating.
