Chapter Two Hundred and Five: Narrative
"Grandfather, grandmother!" As soon as Gu Xuan entered the courtyard, she called out loudly and pulled Gu Xiu towards the hall.
The maid in the main convent hurriedly ran to the outside of the cultivation room to report urgently, "The head of the family, the sixth lady and the eighth ......"
The door was suddenly opened from the inside, and it was Gu Xuan who came out.
"Grandfather?" Gu Xuan's voice was a little raised, "You...... How do you ......"
Gu Xiu reached out and pulled Gu Xuan's arm.
It's no wonder that Gu Xuan's surprised voice changed tone, it's really Gu Xuan's change too much.
Gu Xiu remembered that eight years ago, when they left the Gu family, Gu Xuan was still a middle-aged man with black hair and bright eyes.
But now, if it weren't for Gu Xuan coming out of the cultivation room, if it weren't for the maid calling his family master, Gu Xiu wouldn't be sure at all that the white-haired, wrinkled old man in front of him was Gu Xu, the head of the Gu family's late stage of distraction.
"Second Uncle Ancestor!" Gu Xiu saluted.
Gu Xuan was stopped by Gu Xiu, so she didn't say anything more, but looked at Gu Xuan with a worried face.
Gu Xuan smiled at the two of them: "Xiao Liu and Xiao Ba are back? Okay, come in." ”
"Xuan'er!" At this time, Wu Yue, who got the news, also walked out of the cultivation room.
The four of them had just walked to the hall and sat down, and the rest of the Gu family had gradually arrived at the seminary.
"Sixth sister, eighth sister, are you back, how do you feel about becoming a disciple of the City Lord's Mansion in Ayutthaya?"
Among them, Gu Wang and Gu Xi arrived first, probably because of the journey eight years ago, the relationship between Gu Wang Gu Xi and Gu Xuan and Gu Xiu was much closer, even if they were eight years apart, the closeness of the companions still existed.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Gu Xi asked with a smile, with a natural attitude and a smile on his face.
"Naturally, it's good, the third brother looks at us like this, what's wrong?" Gu Xiu replied with a smile.
Gu Xuan still looked at Gu Xuan with a worried face, and wanted to speak several times, but she didn't know how to speak.
Next, Gu Huai and Deng Fengxian, Gu Lang and his wife, Gu Hua and Guang Haiying, Pang Zhenna and Gu Yan's mother and daughter, and Gu Yan and his wife in the third room, Yu Yu and others all came to the seminary.
Everyone chatted and greeted, and Pang Zhenna couldn't care about the gap between her and the big house, because Gu Xuan was talking to Gu Lang and her wife, she came over to find Gu Xiu, who was talking to Guang Haiying, and asked her about Gu Yue and Gu Sheng's situation in the Shangcheng City Lord's Mansion.
Gu Xiuxuan told them what she knew.
When Gu Xiu was talking to everyone, his eyes roamed the entire hall, but he didn't see Gu Xuan.
"Third brother, where is my eldest sister?" Gu Xiu grabbed Gu Xi and asked.
"Eldest sister, didn't she come?" Gu Xi wondered.
"Eighth sister, the eldest sister should be in retreat, saying that she is going to impact the late stage of condensation, and when she successfully enters the late stage of condensation, she will also go to the city lord's mansion of Ayutthaya. ”
Gu Qin heard the conversation between Gu Xiu and Gu Xi, and came over to say.
"The eldest sister also wants to go to the Shangcheng City Lord's Mansion, but she doesn't have the jade plate that can participate in the selection trial......"
Gu Qin glanced at Gu Xi, "When the eldest sister advances to the late stage of condensation, she has the qualification of a divine vein, and she is also qualified to participate in the trial of selecting disciples from the Great City Lord's Mansion without a jade plate." ”
"Oh, is that so?" Gu Xi asked Gu Xiu.
For this condition, Gu Xiu only learned about it after entering the City Lord's Mansion.
No matter where the household registration belongs, as long as you have reached the late stage of condensation and have the resources of the divine vein, you can go to the Zhaoxintang branch of the city lord's mansion in the city to receive the jade plate.
Gu Xiu nodded, "Shangcheng is like this, as for whether the other big city lords' mansions are like this, I don't know yet." ”
"Except for Zhangcheng and Sencheng, the other seven major cities are like this, and the eldest sister has already inquired. Gu Qin said.
Gu Xi waved his hand, "Inquire about what other cities are doing, since the eldest sister is going, she will naturally go to Shangcheng, hehe, eighth sister, you will all be in the Shangcheng City Lord's Mansion by then, you are still a disciple of Jiuyun Mountain, when you are successful in your cultivation, when you speak in the City Lord's Mansion, can you give your untalented third brother a way and get me into the Shangcheng City Lord's Mansion?"
Gu Xi said with a smile and flattery.
Gu Qin glanced at Gu Xi with disdain, "Third brother, do you want face?"
"If you can enter the Shangcheng City Lord's Mansion, what if you don't have a face? ”
Gu Xi's words made Gu Qin, who was about to continue to mock him, suddenly swallow his words.
Gu Xiu agreed very happily, "If there is that day, it will naturally be possible." ”
After talking for about half an hour in the seminary, and answering Gu Xu's question, Gu Xiu followed Gu Hua and Guanghaiying back to Chengxiao Academy, she was a little anxious, and wanted to ask Gu Shu about the situation as soon as possible, in the seminary, there were too many people, and she was not easy to speak.
Back at Chengxiao Academy, Gu Hua and Guang Haiying asked her about her experience over the years, and Gu Xiu patiently said a rough idea, and then asked: "Father, mother, what's the matter with the third sister? What was the situation like at that time? Later, I found out that the male cultivator who married the third sister was not a monk from the Rock City Lord's Mansion, have you ever looked for it?"
Gu Hua sighed and did not speak.
Guang Haiying said: "I knew that you were going to ask your third sister, when Shu'er and Xuan'er went out, they brought back a senior in the Scattered God Period, saying that Shu'er was the son of a life-saving benefactor when she participated in the selection trial of the Rock City City Lord's Mansion. ”
Guang Haiying told Gu Xiu about the original situation, and what she said was basically the same as what Gu Yue told her, and there was not much difference.
"After your third sister got married, she left with that person, saying that she was going back to Rock City, we thought so at the beginning, so we didn't stop it, and then Shu'er never wrote back, so we thought that she was busy with cultivation, or went to a secret realm in the Rock City Lord's Mansion to practice, and we didn't care.
It was more than two years ago, Gu Sheng came back, and when he knew about it, he sent a letter to his former colleague, and we learned that Shu'er's life-saving benefactor Qian Xiangzhen had no son at all, and finally found out that Qian Xiangzhen had also left the City Lord's Mansion seven years ago, and never went back, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. ”
"Then Qian Xiangzhen didn't leave a soul jade?" Gu Xiu was puzzled, according to Qian Xiangzhen's cultivation in the Scattered God Period, the Rock City City Lord's Mansion should have his soul jade.
"There should be, but the monk Soul Jade of the Rock City City Lord's Mansion, according to Gu Sheng, is placed in the Soul Jade Pavilion, and the people who can enter the Soul Jade Pavilion are the disciples of the Guardian Pavilion except for the City Lord and Deputy City Lord Elder of the City Lord's Mansion, and those disciples will not tell the news of the Soul Jade Pavilion, so we don't know whether Qian Xiangzhen is dead or alive now, and we can't find out Qian Rujiang's identity from him. ”
"What happened later?" asked Gu Xiu.
"Later?" Guang Haiying wondered.
Gu Xiu said calmly: "You didn't inquire anymore after that?"
Guang Haiying was a little embarrassed, "We have no way to inquire, how should we inquire?"
Guang Haiying said, looking at Gu Hua as if asking for help, Gu Hua also sighed: "Yes, the world is big, there are many cities, and there are countless monks, how can we inquire?" Maybe we are too worried, the third son-in-law is not a bad one, and it is unknown if he traveled around with Shu'er. ”
