forty-eight

At the beginning of the new year, Gu Hai did not stay in bed like in previous years, but set an alarm clock at five o'clock, and struggled to get up half-asleep.

Before leaving Kunlun, the head of the sect announced to all the disciples on Taixu Peak that the first round of the Beidou Battle would start as soon as the school was turned against the school after the Spring Festival. Gu Haizi wanted to get a good ranking, so he didn't dare to slack off, and practiced on time every day from the first day he went home.

Because the space at home is not large enough, Gu Hai set the alarm clock early in the morning and hurried to the park, so as to occupy a place among the uncles and aunts who exercise in the morning.

To say that he was still a little embarrassed for the first time, the old people around him looked at his hairstyle and the sword in his hand with curious eyes, and after a few days, Gu Hai was already able to greet those old people generously, and sometimes even danced to warm up for a while.

If Gu Hai was still full of excitement in the first two days after returning home, but now that a week has passed, he actually misses his life in Kunlun. The distant bells, the lonely cranes that swept across the vast blue sky, the small courtyard with ginkgo biloba, and the companions in the white robes of the moon shadow. He counted that there was still half a month before he could go back, so he couldn't help but become depressed.

When Gu Hai finished practicing swordsmanship, the time was close to noon, the previous uncles and aunts came home early, and the later ones sat scattered in the benches and pavilions, some played chess and practiced pen in groups, and some watched Gu Hai dance the sword on the side, and sometimes applauded him. He put away his sword, then said goodbye to the enthusiastic masters and walked in the direction of home.

When Gu Hai came to the downstairs of his residential building, the neighborhood was already full of people watching the excitement, and he only said that it was what happened, so he shouted for Jean and squeezed in with all his strength. After finally entering the innermost, Gu Hai also let out an exclamation like the people behind him, it was not that his house was bombed or suddenly disappeared.

At this moment, two Rolls-Royces were parked in front of the dilapidated and dim residential building, and there were several bodyguards in sunglasses and suits standing next to the cars. I don't know who saw Gu Hai first, those bodyguards actually walked straight towards him, Gu Hai was so frightened that he drilled straight into the crowd, but there were too many people who wanted to see the excitement, and he was pushed back.

"Big, big brother, I haven't done anything bad, what are you doing with me, I've only been home for a week, I really haven't done anything!" The frightened young man wanted to draw his sword, but then he thought that they were just ordinary people, and they didn't do anything to him, so he had to show an expression of wanting to cry without tears, and lay on the ground.

"What are you doing?" a familiar voice sounded above Gu Hai's head, and when he looked up, Xia Huairuo's face appeared in sight. To be honest, Xia Huairuo didn't wear much exaggerated, a solid red dress was draped with fluffy fur, and her long hair was casually draped, but Gu Hai knew at a glance that she should be able to make a lot of money by sweeping the floor at her house.

The young man sitting on the ground scratched his head in embarrassment, looked up at Xia Huairuo and said hello: "Senior sister, good afternoon, why are you here?" The girl in the red dress did not answer first, but stretched out her hand to try to get Gu Hai up from the ground, and when she saw the circle of diamonds on her watch, Gu Hai was completely determined to go to Xia Huairuo's house to clean the toilet.

"I received a message from Que Que, and it looks like something is wrong with the seal of the swamp lake. She said and grabbed Gu Hai's hand and dragged him up from the ground.

Because the two of them were sent home this time, they had to go to the Kunlun Office to apply for the Cocktail first. Gu Hai hurried home before getting into the car, he took the ancient book from the bedside table, and before he could eat lunch, he ran downstairs with his mother's puzzled eyes.

The tall man in the suit wearing sunglasses opened the car door for him, Gu Hai hesitated for a few seconds before getting into the car, and finally turned around and shouted at the window on the third floor: "Mom, you and Dad can eat by yourself, don't wait for me!"

The Kunlun Domain Office was not as antique as Gu Hai imagined, but it was unexpectedly simple, if he hadn't seen the clearly written door number at the door, Gu Hai would almost have thought that Xia Huairuo had brought him into the police station.

Like the exterior of the office, the process of claiming a gourmet is simple but rigorous. Gu Hai and Xia Huairuo were asked to show their identity information and their own saber, he followed Xia Huairuo and handed the saber to the man at the counter, the other party took out a talisman seal from the drawer, and then covered it in the sheath where Gu Hai's name was engraved, and a gentle white light flashed around the two neat Chinese characters.

The light swayed gently in the air like water waves, quiet and peaceful. After a while, the man took the talisman seal from the sheath, and then handed the sword back to Gu Hai, he pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and still looked up at the young man in front of him with that serious expression: "You are very talented, and you are in a good mood, I hope you can make a difference in the future." With that, he lowered his head again and signed his name on the application form, Gu Hai thanked him a few times with some trepidation, and took the form handed by the other party with trembling hands, until the man motioned for them to go to the hall and wait.

Gu Hai still hasn't figured out where the birds are usually hiding, every time he sees them, they fall from the sky, as if they appear out of thin air, this time is no exception, Gu Hai and Xia Huairuo have just been taken to the clearing, and there is a somewhat familiar cry from the sky, which is clearer and broader than the crane's song.

The noble divine bird flew from the sunny place under Gu Hai's gaze, and the young man raised his hand to cover the overly dazzling sunlight, and the peanut appeared clearly in front of him, still wearing a streamer feather, and his slender neck was raised proudly. Xia Huairuo didn't recognize her life at all, she stepped forward, patted the root of the's neck as if greeting her brother, and then conveniently landed and turned over and drove up.

Gu Haiyuan still minded a little, and pondered whether to say hello to the bird, but he didn't expect this divine bird to be in a hurry, and when it saw that Gu Hai didn't come up for a long time, it simply grabbed him by the collar and threw him on his back. Xia Huairuo laughed heartily: "Why have you been getting more and more twisted recently." ”

At the same time as the bird soared into the air and flew to the Kunlun Domain, on the edge of the swamp lake of Yujing Peak, a young girl looked at the deepened spells in disbelief, and she kept chanting in her mouth that it shouldn't be, while the young man not far away just looked at it coldly.

Jiang Xingge suddenly detected something wrong with the Lilin Great Array a day ago, as if someone had suddenly injected most of his cultivation into it, so he rushed to check. When he arrived, the Lilin Great Array was calm as usual, but there was a faint smell of blood coming from the direction of the swamp lake, he followed the source of the smell all the way, and just arrived near the swamp lake, he saw Qin Shuangye lying on the ground from a distance.

The dark red and smelly thick blood continued to overflow from her birthmark, although it was not much, but it could not be stopped at all, Jiang Xingge hurriedly added a talisman charm for her and sent her to Xie Boyu, the blood droplets flowing along the way, as well as Qin Shuangye's weakly falling hand, almost made Jiang Xingge think that she was dead, but fortunately, she could still detect the surge of cultivation, which made Jiang Xingge feel a little more at ease.

After delivering the Qin Shuang Ye, Jiang Xingge returned to the swamp lake alone, the green jade at the bottom of the lake was still silent without the slightest movement, he walked to the place where the seal was set up with some confusion, the intricate runes on the rune paper from the Jiang clan were precise and clear, at first glance there was nothing wrong at all, if it weren't for the short stroke of the ink on it, Jiang Xingge would almost have decided that the matter had nothing to do with the seal.
