This day happens to be the beginning of autumn. Tang Muzhi said goodbye to Fang and Yang Man outside Fujishan in the early morning, traveled through the color world twice at night, and finally returned to Tangmen in the early morning of the beginning of autumn.

This time, he appeared directly in Ye Kexin's room.

"Huh?" Ye Kexin was sitting on a chair in front of the south-facing window reading a book, her body motionless, leaving a quiet and comfortable slender back. She suddenly felt something in her heart the moment Tang Muzhi arrived, and slowly turned her head and glanced back.

Immediately, a gentle smile appeared on her face, put down the book, pushed away the wooden chair and stood in front of Tang Muzhi.

"Welcome home...... Today seems to be the beginning of autumn. ”

Tang Mu stepped forward and hugged her, thought for a while and said, "It's the beginning of autumn, and in a few days it will be the Midyear Festival." ”

】

Then sat down and chatted for a while, although Ye Kexin did not show much surprise at Tang Muzhi's sudden arrival, she was still completely surprised by the ability of Da Luo Cave View to shuttle such a large space in a short period of time.

Tang Muzhi replied to her that this was the result of using the Daluo Cave Meditation twice, and if he traveled too long distances through the color realm at one time, his spirit would be a little unbearable.

Tang Muzhi explained to Ye Kexin the principle of the Daluo Cave Temple, and then traced the source of Shuo and told her some things that were not easy to explain on the phone before, about Joaquina and the more than 100,000 years spent in the kingdom of heaven.

In just one month after the two were separated, too many things really happened to Tang Muzhi, and they chatted from early morning to noon.

In the past few years, Ye Kexin has been sublimating in extreme silence as a Liuku immortal thief, understanding the relationship between self and the world and the universe, pursuing the immortal state of the primordial spirit in Taoism, and realizing the true meaning of the "Four Macro Vows" in Buddhism, and finally attaining the transcendent realm of meditation.

But when she heard what Tang Muzhi had encountered in the Heavenly Kingdom, even though she had long felt fearless about the passage of time, when she heard the number of 100,000 years and 9,000 years, her heart was still enveloped by a huge shock.

……

After returning to Tangmen, Tang Muzhi greeted Zhang Wang, Tang Miaoxing and others, and then heard that the investigators of the South China Branch of Nadutong had been waiting for a long time and had not learned the true status of the Gu Tong, so he planned to visit the Gu Tong with him.

The investigator sent by South China was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, he was of medium height, and his hair and clothes had been carefully groomed, and after Tang Muzhi introduced himself, he reached out and shook Tang Muzhi's hand.

"Mr. Tang, Jiuyang, we finally met, you are much younger than I imagined, I am Han Kang from the South China Branch."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Tang Muzhi nodded, he recalled for a moment, and soon remembered his information.

Han Kang is a veteran of Nadutong, who once co-chaired with Huang Boren, who was in charge of the company's research, for a few years, and then the South China branch was established, and he followed Liao Zhong to South China, he was a native of Yunnan, and he worked there close to home.

Ye Kexin had already known Han Kang, but insisted that Tang Muzhi be allowed to visit Gu Tong after he returned, and Liao Zhong had come in person before to be treated the same.

Han Kang immediately apologized, and first went to the side to call his boss Liao Zhong, although Tang Muzhi was unintentional, but he still heard the content of the call between the two clearly, Liao Zhong was very concerned about the current situation of the Gu Tong, since Han Kang was there, he asked him to investigate the current situation of the Gu Tong, and expressed his dissatisfaction with the old sect like the Tang Sect, and was afraid that they would be treated the same as in the Medicine Immortal Society.

Tang Muzhi whispered to her in Ye Kexin's ear with some amusement. Ye Kexin had told him on the phone before that the situation of the Gu boys was very good, and most of them could speak after a period of language training, and Wang Zhenqiu and the Gu boys also got along very well.

It's just that out of various considerations, Ye Kexin and Zhang Wang have discussed, for the time being, it is not easy for too many people to disturb the environment of the Gu children, and after a while, when the children of each faction are about to go back, they can take the next step and let them officially contact this world.

After Han Kang finished the call, he hurriedly came back and said with a smile: "It's been a long time, don't you mind?" ”

Tang Muzhi nodded and said, "It's okay, we'll go now." ”

Han Kang was carrying a briefcase in his hand, which contained the information about the Gu boys that Tang Men had handed over to the company at the beginning, their appearance, their new names, and their physical conditions.

Some time ago, the company wanted to ask Tangmen for custody of these children by looking for the parents of the Gu children, but the clues were insufficient, so naturally there was no way to find out.

But fortunately, Zhao Fangxu and the board of directors did not forge the identities of some people to impersonate the identity of Gu Tong, otherwise Tang Muzhi would use his relationship to fight against Anywhere, which would easily attract the vigilance and concentration of Anywhere.

The place where the Gu Tong and the children in the circle now live is near the mountain behind the Tang Gate, and it took them a long time to come out of the cave and adapt to the forest there. Ye Kexin told Tang Muzhi that when many children saw the forest for the first time, they hesitated and stood in place and didn't dare to move.

There were still a few projects in the training ground inside the Tang Gate that had not been completed, but in order not to disturb the living environment of the Gu children, the construction was delayed. The Gu children have adapted to the environment of the forest, and now because of the interaction of "disguised companions", the nature that was erased as a child has been stimulated, and in their eyes, the forest with boundaries is a perfect paradise, with gentle instructors, a single wooden house for them to live in, a clean and bright classroom, and a small playground with artificial sand - these are quietly arranged when they still live in the cave.

With the addition of outsiders such as Wang Zhenqiu and Lu Linglong, those Gu boys gradually became not afraid of life, and it was Ye Kexin, Tang Hong and several other disciples who took care of the Gu boys, and served as "instructors" in their world for the first period of time.

There was no disturbance from the outside world, but gradually, for the sudden visit of Zhang Wang, Tang Miaoxing and other living people, the Gu children gradually understood and adapted to this phenomenon. Ye Kexin constantly tried to empathize with the Gu children, always paying attention to the changes in most people's consciousness to prevent them from having a big misunderstanding of their perception of the world.

Although the forest where the Gu children are located has drawn boundaries and sent guards to guard them, if there are really Gu children who try to break through because of the nature of children, no one will stop them, she just wants to let the Gu children peel off the layers of cocoons that bind them, on the one hand, through the learning in the classroom, they have basic imagination and expectations for the outside world, and on the other hand, they try and adapt to the world.

A small dark cave, a forest with intact infrastructure, toys and books but boundaries, a training ground for a nominally security company, a historic county town with snow-capped mountains and rivers, and finally a colorful and complex world.

Due to their re-energized nature of outward exploration, they will independently get rid of the shackles of the original environment of the Medicine Immortal Society's main altar, know the world, understand the world, and finally integrate into the world, and choose the life they want to live.
