[33] Brotherly confrontation

Gu Xichao seemed to be deaf, and his outstretched arm did not have a trace of sluggishness.

"Gu Xichao, you dare!"

Whoosh –

A wooden thorn flew towards his arm, threatening to knock down the poison talisman in his hand.

"Did you really do it?"

Gu Xixiang turned around expressionlessly, his arm shook suddenly, and the wooden thorn suddenly changed a shooting direction in the air, and with a pop, it shot into the flower bed behind Gu Mu, and it didn't sink into the soil without making a sound.

And the talisman in his hand slapped his father's arm in an instant.

A trace of black intent instantly appeared on the white talisman. Then the thin black lines continued to swim in the white runes, which looked shocking.

Gu Mu's body is indeed poisonous!

At this moment, even Gu Xici's face changed slightly.

"What else do you have to say?"

Gu Xichao stood up, looking at his eldest brother with a pale face, his eyes showing disappointment. Father, who was really poisonous, was a cultivator, nine out of ten, and even his body was completely collapsed, like an old man in the twilight, waiting for the final death to come.

The lifespan of Fu Xiu is generally much higher than that of ordinary people. But now Gu Mu has just passed the age of sixty, but his face is full of wrinkles and gray hair, which is faster than the aging speed of ordinary people.

At first, Gu Xichao thought that the deterioration of bodily functions was caused by anorexia, and the decline of cultivation may be related to age!

This is because the golden period of cultivation is between the ages of fifteen and forty, and if one can break through the Qi Cultivation Realm before the age of forty, then the strength will be doubled, and the physical functions will be fully strengthened, and the life span will be greatly intensified.

Breaking through Qi refining means breaking through the shackles of cultivation, and lifespan and function will no longer be an obstacle to cultivation.

But it's a pity that countless Fu Xiu cards are practicing Qi ten times, and this step is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Gu Mu was such a talisman cultivator, as he grew older, breaking through the Ten Levels of Qi Cultivation had become far away, so he put his energy outside of cultivation.

Since you can't break through, you can enjoy whatever you have missed over the years because of your cultivation.

Everyone thought that Gu Mu was tired of cultivation and put his hobby above food. Over the years, I have developed a problem with mouth.

But now Gu Xichao found that his father's aging speed was getting faster and faster day by day, and there was not much talisman qi left in his body, barely maintaining the body's principle absorption. The high-level rune cultivation that was originally ten levels of qi cultivation has now fallen to one level.

No matter how anorexic he is, Fu Xiu's physical functions will not be said to degenerate, and the speed of aging has exceeded that of ordinary people.

When he tortured Yan Jin underground, Gu Xichao actually believed his words. Originally, he had never thought about it in this regard, but when Yan Jin mentioned it, all his doubts were classified as a kind of certainty.

Gu Mu, it should be caused by poisoning.

And this poisoner, even if Gu Xichao didn't want to believe it, he also felt that his eldest brother's motive was the greatest.

He was desperate to take the position, because according to normal speaking, even if Gu Mu was seventy years old, according to Fu Xiu's physical functions, he was still in the prime of life, and it was easy to manage a family. But at that time, Gu Xici was already in his fifties.

Seventy-year-old people like to keep the success, but Gu Xici still wants to make a lot of effort, hoping that the Gu family will make a big difference in his hands.

So he had to oust his father from the head of the family.

And for Gu Mu, who has been in a high position for a long time, it is obviously impossible to let him hand over the power in his hands.

Therefore, Gu Xici can only use some inhuman means!

And this method is poisoning. This poison should not be too violent, but should be silent and slowly erode the human body's functions...... I can't let my father notice the poisoning in his body, and I can't let Gu Xichao discover Gu Mu's abnormality.

As it turned out, the poison was really powerful. The other two brothers of the Gu family did not have the slightest suspicion.

Gu Xi sat down as the head of the family without incident, and the two brothers did not have the slightest objection......

"I think it won't take long for my father's health to deteriorate dramatically, and then ...... Dead of old age?"

Gu Xichao smiled self-deprecatingly, glanced at Gu Xici, and slowly said the guess in his heart.

Gu Xizhi on the side, surprisingly did not speak out against it, but from beginning to end, he made a good posture of a listener. It wasn't until Gu Xichao finished speaking that he snorted coldly and said, "Gu Xichao, I remember the brotherhood between you and me, and I have been tolerant over the years, I can't imagine that you are so suspicious of me?"

"It's up to you to think of such a ridiculous guess?"

"Daddy is poisoned, and I don't want to see it. What we need to do now is to try to detoxify, not to blame anyone's fault...... I admit that I bear the greatest responsibility for my father's affairs, and I did not take good care of him and let him be poisoned. ”

After speaking, he sighed and walked up to Gu Xichao: "Xichao, if you think that I did it by the eldest brother, I will admit it." After all, from childhood to adulthood, you are the best, and your talent is also excellent, and the position of the head of this family is yours. ”

Gu Xi's gesture was extremely sincere.

But Gu Xichao has always been a very calm person, and he stared at Gu Xici's eyes: "I know you won't admit it." But you tell me, who gave this poison?"

He pointed at Gu Mu, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "You are arranging your daily life on weekdays. The Gu family is heavily guarded, I don't believe that someone sneaked into the Gu family, just to give his father a chronic poison, and this poison is silent, there is no pain, it just makes him old and degenerate......"

Gu Xici's face finally began to be impatient, and he suddenly interrupted Gu Xichao's words: "Gu Xichao, are you so slanderous about your eldest brother?

At this time, Lu Qing, who was behind him, suddenly stepped forward: "Family master, I have a word, I don't know if I should say it?"

"Say!"

Gu Xici sat aside, his expression extremely resentful. Obviously, Gu Xichao's words made him very angry and angry.

"I think that this poison may also be caused by others, in order to divide the relationship between the head of the family and the second master, so that he can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman!" Lu Qing said his opinion, and Gu Xici's eyes suddenly showed a hint of strangeness.

"Oh?"

He rolled his eyes, and then looked at Gu Xichao coldly: "Lu Qing's guess is also very possible. Sorry for the dynasty, it's important to detoxify first, and for the rest, after my father's body recovers, I'll call Xiting again, and then look in front of my father and find out what happened, okay?"

"Detoxification, how to detoxify?" Gu Xichao still sneered.

This smile made Gu Xici very annoyed, he had always been the head of the Gu family, how could he ever be so suspicious. Thinking of his son over the years, his son has been targeting him everywhere, and the anger in his heart erupted: "Why are you so sure that I must have done this?"

"Because I have witnesses. Fu Tang's Yan Lao Yan Jin, do you know?" Gu Xichao's eyes flashed a hint of coldness, and he looked straight at his eldest brother, "He has already admitted that you made him poison, you, what else can you say?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Xici's face changed suddenly. Even Lu Qing, who was beside him, had a solemn face.
