Chapter 385: Forced to be helpless

Gu Shenglin stood up and paced twice in the study with his hands behind his back, as if embarrassed: "You must already know the situation of my Gu family and the Yin family. If I marry Ting'er to you, the Yin family will definitely come to me for an explanation, and even the people in the city will complain about my untrustworthy words. ”

"Senior, we have already said this issue last time, and the opinion below is: If you don't say it explicitly, why do you regret it?" He Tianyao said.

Gu Shenglin turned around suddenly: "Yes." If you chew the words and analyze the words, this is indeed the case. However, you are just a soaring person without any background, so how can the Yin family be convinced?"

He Tianyao smiled indifferently: "Whether the Yin family is convinced or not is their own business, as long as you don't care about my background, senior." ”

Gu Shenglin stared at him for a while, and then said, "Young man, you are the first young man who dares to talk to me like this. ”

"In the path of cultivating immortals, you are indeed my senior. But there's no point in talking about being young and old with an ascendant, isn't it?" He Tianyao said, "Don't go around, just give me a happy word." ”

"Good boy, have courage!" Gu Shenglin praised, "If you don't have a background, the Yin family will find me trouble." So as long as you get the background, everything will be solved. ”

He Tianyao hurriedly stood up and bowed: "Then how can I get the background? In his mind, Gu Shenglin left a glimmer of life for his relationship with Gu Wanting.

Gu Shenglin patted He Tianyao's shoulder affectionately and motioned for him to sit down: "There must be a way, and there are quite a few." ”

"Listen to me. He Tianyao said happily.

"At present, there are a total of five methods that I have envisioned for you," Gu Shenglin smiled slightly and stretched out a finger: "First, strength." If you are now a **-level, seven-star immortal cultivator, I will marry Ting'er to you, and the Yin family guarantees that you will not dare to say a word. ”

"Great, I will definitely practice hard in the future and strive to reach the ** level as soon as possible!" He Tianyao said. Of course, he is confident in this.

Gu Shenglin shook his head: "It's a pity that this method is too variable. If you want to reach the ** level, you need to survive the first and second tribulations, and the seven-star level needs to survive the middle tribulation. The four tribulations are like the heavenly tribulations in the lower realm, and no one can say what the outcome will be. Even if you have good qualifications, it will take a long time to cultivate to the ** level. Ting'er has already reached the marriageable age, and the Yin family is urging now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to keep Ting'er until the day you reach the ** level. ”

This is reasonable, He Tianyao nodded regretfully.

Gu Shenglin stretched out another finger: "Second, power." If you quickly gain merit and status after joining the Immortal Army, it is reasonable for me to marry Ting'er to you. ”

"This ...... How do I do that?"

"There is only one way - to set foot on the demon battlefield and fight for life and death with the demon clan. ”

"With the current strength...... I'm not sure. He Tianyao was very embarrassed.

"Yes, the disadvantage of this method is that it is too risky, not necessarily successful, not to mention, and may also cost your life. Then let's talk about the third method, financial resources. Gu Shenglin showed his third finger, "Accumulate a lot of wealth in a short period of time and become a wealthy family." This can be regarded as a match with my Gu family, and the Yin family naturally has nothing to say. ”

In terms of making money, He Tianyao is even less confident, where does he have the talent to do business? Even if he does, he is now penniless, and he wants to get rich quickly from scratch, and it is difficult for him to ascend to the sky.

Gu Shenglin saw He Tianyao's helplessness, which was exactly what he expected. After a brief silence, he proposed, "It's hard for you, isn't it? ”

He Tianyao's eyes lit up: "I hope that the seniors will help." ”

Gu Shenglin wasted no time in proposing an exchange condition: "My Gu family has occupied the position of the lord of Luoxia City for many years, needless to say, the financial resources are abundant. I can pay a huge amount of money to buy your "One Qi Three Yuan" body cheats. ”

He Tianyao was stunned, shook his head and sighed: "How can I explain to the master in exchange for money in exchange for secret classics? ”

The lure failed, Gu Shenglin couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and his attitude was a little stiffer. He held out a fourth finger: "Fourth, manpower." If you are well-connected, famous, and famous all over the world, I can marry Ting'er to you, but you will definitely not be able to do it. ”

He Tianyao suddenly remembered something, he remembered that Gu Wanxing had said that the Ascendant of the Demon Clan before was famous because he had only adapted to it for six years and three months in the Triple House. When he heard He Tianyao say that he walked out of the triple house after six and a half years of adaptation, Gu Wanxing was quite excited and praised: "Our immortal clan also produced a talent who walked out of the triple house in more than six years. "I wonder if this will be a way to gain fame.

However, after He Tianyao tried to ask, Gu Shenglin mercilessly poured a basin of cold water: it won't work. The main reason why the Demon Ascendant caused such a big sensation was because he was the only Ascendant of the Demon Race for more than 700 years, and it was the flame of hope that was rekindled when everyone in the Yu Yu Realm thought that the way of demon cultivation in the Nether Realm had been destroyed. Moreover, with his "six years and three months" first, He Tianyao's "six and a half years" is not so unusual.

He Tianyao had no choice but to continue to listen to the last method.

In the end, this method can be regarded as Gu Shenglin's trump card. He shook five fingers: "The last way, force." You can quickly attach to a certain force and get a good status, then the force behind you can be used as a bargaining chip to propose to my Gu family. ”

"But...... It still requires strength or financial resources, and I'm afraid I can't do it. "Five methods don't seem to work, He Tianyao is in a hurry.

"Do you want to worship me as a teacher, I will provide you with a power background, then you will be equivalent to my Gu family's person, and you can be regarded as Ting'er's junior brother. It's normal for a senior sister and brother to fall in love with each other, as long as you promise me one condition. ”

"Hand over the body method of "One Qi and Three Yuan". ”

"That's right!"

He Tianyao was silent, and when he said it, he finally went around

Come back. Gu Shenglin asked He Tianyao to talk about a lot tonight, in fact, it can be summed up in one sentence: If you want to marry Gu Wanting, you will use the body method of "One Qi and Three Yuan" in exchange. I'm afraid that the saying of accepting apprentices is just good, how can there be a reason in the world for a master to covet the apprentice's body?

Gu Shenglin continued to persuade: "Not only that, but the 'heavy money purchase' I said earlier is still valid. Whether it is money, fairy swords, magic weapons, sword books, pills, or charms, as long as I can do my best, I will never treat you badly. I will also treat you as an apprentice and carefully teach you to cultivate. ”

He Tianyao still frowned and didn't speak, what he cared about wasn't at all.

"By the way, if you tie the knot with Ting'er, it will be my Gu family's uncle. You don't know yet, do you? The position of the city lord is hereditary, as long as you do not slack off in cultivating immortals, and your strength is enough in the future, this position of city lord is also yours. In order to persuade He Tianyao, Gu Shenglin's words became more and more unsound, and he seemed to have forgotten that he still had a son.

"Enough!" Gu Wanting's voice suddenly sounded outside the house, the door was suddenly pushed open, and she walked in with an angry face, "Dad, you are so shameless!"

"Presumptuous! Daddy is worried about your marriage!"

"Forget it, I've been eavesdropping outside for a long time. Dad, when will you put your daughter's happiness first?" Gu Wanting's voice was full of tears, she walked to He Tianyao's side, raised her head and looked at him with teary eyes, and said firmly, "In my life, Brother Fei Yao will not marry!" After speaking, she took He Tianyao's hand and walked out of the study, ignoring Gu Shenglin's thunderous roar behind her: "Give me back!"

"Ting'er......" He Tianyao wiped away the tears on Gu Wanting's face distressedly.

"Brother Yao, it's really hard for you. Gu Wanting sighed.

He Tianyao persuaded: "Ting'er, don't be angry with your father. He did tell me a lot of ways to get context tonight......"

"Don't comfort me with lies. Is it really so important to be a "door-to-door match"? How many of those so-called 'methods' work? Now that I think about it, my father took you to the Gu Mansion because he coveted your body method. I've seen it through, my father never planned to marry me to you from the beginning to the end, otherwise, why would he deliberately take my brother?" It can be seen that Gu Wanting is already disheartened with her father.

"What are we going to do in the future? I don't want to stay here anymore. He Tianyao said.

"I had a complete falling out with my dad tonight, and he's going to look at me very hard in the next few days. Don't leave in a hurry and wait for my news, okay?"

"Hmm. ”

The two walked to the foot of Qingyun Mountain and reluctantly separated. He Tianyao returned to the small courtyard and looked up at the starry sky. The thin clouds close the moon, and the night is cold and the stars are sparse. Thinking back to the ups and downs of getting acquainted with Gu Wanting in the past few days, one scene after another flashed in front of me like a marquee, and in a trance, I seemed to see Gu Wanting rise into the air, fading away, and hurriedly reached out to grab it, but it was a vague phantom. He Tianyao shook his head, his heart was full of melancholy, and he immediately chanted a song "Fortune Operator" to express his state of mind:

"The golden beach is breezy and,

The blue lake reflects the mountains.

happened to meet the red face's favorite,

Nostalgia awakens.

Who knows that he is honored,

Have pity on yourself.

The road ahead is hard and the eyes are blurred,

There is no trace of Yiren. ”

However, after chanting this song, He Tianyao regretted it. Things are not yet in a desperate situation, so why be so pessimistic?" he muttered aloud, and walked into the house.

......

For several days, Gu Wanting never showed up again. He Tianyao had secretly gone to the courtyard where she lived to investigate, and sure enough, as Gu Wanting expected that night, Gu Shenglin sent many people to guard here. He Tianyao could only return in a huff. As for the matter of handing over the body method of "One Qi and Three Yuan", Gu Shenglin also sent someone to send a letter, and the letter was still full of good words of persuasion. He Tianyao simply replied: "Let me think about it for a while" to prevaricate.

But Gu Shenglin would not let him think about it indefinitely, and the second letter after that directly set the deadline: "Until the end of the month." At the beginning of next month, Gu Wanting was officially married into the Yin family. ”

After receiving the letter, He Tianyao sat on pins and needles. Time is running out, and it's time to make a decision. He thought about it carefully, and the power he could use was really limited, so it seemed that he could only discuss countermeasures with Gu Wanxing, who didn't know where he was being sent. In the end, no matter what kind of countermeasures are decided, they will definitely need his help. Fortunately, Gu Shenglin did not restrict He Tianyao's freedom, so he made up his mind, and went out of the city that night to Buxianju to find Zhang Chengrong and inquire about Gu Wanxing's whereabouts.

It was completely dark. He Tianyao was about to go out, but he heard several strange noises from the roof, and then there was a "bang" sound from the second floor.

He Tianyao's heart jumped, could it be Gu Wanting? He immediately went upstairs and pushed open the window, and a dark shadow jumped into the house. He looked at it, and the red butt and long tail turned out to be the "Mr. Monkey" he had encountered on Langjuan Beach - Xiao Ke.

Although Xiao Ke is a wild monkey in Qingyun Mountain, he is quite close to Gu Wanting. Appearing here at this time, there must be something. Sure enough, Xiao Ke "squeaked" while raising his head and grabbing his neck.

He Tianyao hurriedly brushed away the monkey hair, and it turned out that a red thread was tied around its neck, and a paper roll was sleeved on the line. When I opened it, there were a few small words written on it: "Three o'clock, see you when you enter the city." ”

The delicate handwriting was from Gu Wanting's handwriting at a glance, He Tianyao sighed, knowing that Gu Wanting had chosen the most helpless method - elopement. "The place to enter the city" must be the place where Xiao Tie helped the two sneak into Luoxia City last time.

In the process of burning the note, He Tianyao also briefly thought about where to go in the future: first go to Jiang Chengdong or Hua Qingyu, if you can't find it, then go to Taiqing Sect or Hua Jun's predecessors, if it doesn't work, it's a big deal to hide in the deep mountains and old forests to live in seclusion.

In order to avoid the suspicion of the Gu Mansion, He Tianyao went out of the gate early and found a teahouse on the street

Drink tea to calm your mood while waiting for the appointed moment to come. After the third watch, He Tianyao came to the southeast city wall of the city, but did not see Gu Wanting. He Tianyao remembered that Xiao Tie once said: "I hid the rope ladder at the root of the inner wall. So he walked into the shadow at the base of the inner wall. "Ha, sure enough. When he got closer, he saw a bag at the base of the wall, and when he untied it, he saw that it was not a night suit, but a set of clothes for the soldiers guarding the city.

Not long after the change of clothes, there was a clear and messy sound of footsteps on the city walls, and the guards came to patrol. I only heard someone suddenly shout: "Ouch, this belly has not been quite right since I drank the wine!" He Tianyao could hear that the person who spoke was Xiao Tie.

"Don't drink so much!" said the man who scolded seemed to be the captain of the guard.

"You go first, and I'll come when I go. "Little Railway.

The crowd burst into laughter.

After a while, Xiao Tie ran down the stairs and whispered in the direction of the shadows, "He Gongzi, can you be there?"

"I'm here. What about Ting'er?" He Tianyao asked.

"The city lord knows that I helped the eldest lady sneak into the city in the past, and these days there are people watching me wherever I go, and the road to Buxian Ju is also guarded, so you have to flee in the northwest direction. The eldest lady is already mixed with the other group of guards, and when I get to the northwest of the city, I will pretend to faint, and you can jump out of the city while you are in the chaos. "Little Railway.

"Then there was suddenly an extra guard, wouldn't those people from the patrol just now suspect it?" He Tianyao was a little worried.

"No, I didn't let you follow me, you just walked through the city. When you hear the noise, just go up to the city wall and jump down. I'll go first, lest they suspect me!" Xiao Tie didn't bother to explain.

He Tianyao understood after a little thought. Walking in the city in the middle of the night in the clothes of a guard, and then taking advantage of the chaos to go up the city walls, will not arouse suspicion, it is indeed a clever plan.

Things went as smoothly as expected. He Tianyao walked to the northwest corner of the city and hid in the dark under the stairs for a while. There were a lot of footsteps coming and going on the city wall, and it could be seen that there were many people patrolling.

"Ahh

"Tonight's wine, isn't it poisonous......" Xiao Tie cried out miserably, rolling on the ground with his stomach covered. He Tianyao climbed the city wall.

Xiao Tie's performance is not unrealistic, his face is blue, his lips are purple, his mouth is foaming, and he rolls his eyes. Everyone gathered around Xiao Tie, some helped stabilize his body, some made ideas, and some really thought that the wine was poisonous and worried that he would be poisoned too, and the scene was chaotic.

Xiao Tie glanced at He Tianyao from the crack, and He Tianyao gave him a grateful look. Xiao Tie nodded his head twice as if he were trembling, followed by a sharper shout.

He Tianyao approached the crowd first, then quietly retreated, and when he retreated to the wall, he turned over.

No one noticed that on the top of a tall building not far from the city, there was a man silently watching everything.

Under the outer wall of the wall was a forest, and after being blocked by a branch, He Tianyao fell into the grass, grinning in pain, and was covered by a small hand just when he opened his mouth.

Gu Wanting approached He Tianyao with a smile, kissed him lightly on the cheek, and said softly, "How is it, it doesn't hurt, right?"

"Ting'er......" He Tianyao hugged her tightly into his arms.

After being happy for a moment, Gu Wanting pushed him away and said, "Okay, I'll always follow you in the future, I'm afraid I won't have time to warm up?"

"Really?" He Tianyao smiled, "Are you really ready to leave your hometown?"

"Of course, my father doesn't care about my happiness at all, and I'm already cold. My brother who loves me has been transferred far away, and there is nothing to miss here. Now you are the only person closest to me, who else can I follow if I don't follow you? Gu Wanting said, "It's just that even if I completely break with my father, I have nowhere else to ......" The expression on her face was very lonely.

"Then go find my friends. ”

Gu Wanting shook her head: "You are a soarer, I'm afraid...... I can't find it. ”

"How do you know?" He Tianyao said, "Even if we really can't find it, then we will go to the mountains to live in seclusion." Are you afraid of bitterness?"

The corners of Gu Wanting's mouth raised a smile: "I can't ask for it to be able to stay with you." Okay, let's take our time in the future, let's get out of here quickly!"

In the process of walking through the woods, He Tianyao asked Gu Wanting how she escaped from the heavily guarded Wanting Pavilion.

Gu Wanting giggled and asked, "You have also been to my courtyard, but what have you found?"

"One gate, one pavilion, one courtyard, one well, one tree and one swing. What's so special?" Speaking of this, He Tianyao suddenly realized, "Ah, that well!"

The well had dried up a long time ago, and I had secretly dug a secret passage to the outside of the courtyard, so I had always covered the manhole cover. The exit to the dark passage is even better hidden, in the hollow trunk of a dead tree. Gu Wanting said with a fluttering eyebrow, "At first, I just wanted to sneak out of the house to have fun, but I didn't expect it to come in handy when I eloped." I guess that's providence too!"

"And Xiao Tie too, at first you just wanted to sneak into the city to have fun, but you didn't expect to help a lot when you eloped in the end, didn't you?" He Tianyao deliberately imitated her tone.

"'Raise a soldier for a thousand days, use a soldier for a while', anyway, I haven't treated him badly on weekdays. I racked my brains to come up with a clever plan to get out of the city tonight, isn't it?" Gu Wanting was triumphant.

"Yes, yes, who has more ideas than you?" He Tianyao said with a smile.

"Hee-hee, I'll just treat you as if you're praising me!"

With that, the two walked out of the woods and returned to the avenue.

He Tianyao took a deep breath and was about to sigh at the beginning of a new life, but suddenly his heart sank.

In the moonlight, a figure was standing not far ahead.
