Chapter 5 The Tree Falls and Scatters

Qiao'er walked in a hurry, and left without closing the door, and the sunlight shone obliquely through the crack in the door, like the sunlight that came in through the window, dispelling the gloom in the room, and the dust flew like small insects in the pillar of light.

Gu Xiaozhao slowly walked to the door.

The feet wearing white socks walked on the wooden floor, the soles of the feet were slightly cold, after devouring the memories of the souls of Jiuhua Zhenjun and the original owner, now, the primordial spirit of this body is more powerful than when the original owner was healthy, although the poison that is harmful to the nerves that he has drunk in the past month is still harmful, it will not lie down between the beds like before, and it is difficult to get up.

It's just that although he can get out of bed and walk, the idea of the Yuan Shen is new after all, and his body is weak enough and there are still toxins left, so it is impossible to be like a normal person.

As long as you walk in a hurry, you will be dizzy and your whole body will tremble.

If you are in a hurry, this is the situation, you naturally don't even think about dancing with guns and sticks or fighting with empty hands, before the toxins in your body are expelled, if you have no choice but to do so, involving your own safety, Gu Xiaozhao will not force it.

It's not that he can't do it!

As long as the speed of the cyan nebula in the sea of consciousness is accelerated, the speed of the mind driving the body becomes several times faster than normal, and in this way, it can also control this body to explode in a very short time, of course, doing so will have serious consequences.

If the body is now a dilapidated wooden house, if it is done, it is a thatched hut that leaks everywhere, and if it is to return to normal, it will cost more money, take more time, and will be extremely harmful to future development.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Xiaozhao slowly pushed open the door, greeted the morning sunlight projected through the courtyard wall, and came to the outside of the house, to the eaves corridor.

The architectural pattern of this small courtyard is similar to that of the Han Dynasty in the Middle Ages, with white walls and black tiles, and small windows on the courtyard wall are opened not far apart, which are staggered by carved wood, building a small space, if you stand outside the courtyard, you can see the situation in the courtyard through the small window, but the sight is slightly cramped.

The house is mainly made of brick and wood, and the bottom of the house is about two or three feet above the ground, so that it is also isolated from the moisture of the ground.

The yard is not big, the eaves corridor is flanked by flower beds, now, there are unknown flowers competing in the flower garden, the fragrance of flowers comes with a gust of breeze, this kind of taste is refreshing, so that Gu Xiaozhao, who has been in the quiet room for a long time, is invigorated.

There are some trees that grow against the courtyard wall, and the greenery is verdant.

In front of the eaves corridor, there is a path paved with gravel, leading to the courtyard gate, the path is not a straight line, but a little winding, because the courtyard gate is not directly facing the eaves corridor, but on the side of the courtyard wall, hidden between a few green plants.

There were some shoes against the wall on the eaves corridor, Gu Xiaozhao sat on the eaves porch, took out a pair of light cloth shoes and put them on his feet, at this time, there was some sound in the wind from a distance.

Gu Xiaozhao was silent for a moment, stepped on the path, walked out of the courtyard along the path, and went outside.

Here is Qinghua County, located in the south of the Yangtze River, surrounded by mountains on three sides, a river, the mountains are not tall, but the mountains are verdant, quite precipitous, the river water surrounds the county seat, is in the shape of several characters, winds to the north for dozens of miles and then escapes into the big river, the water network is intertwined along the way, the fish, rice and rice are fragrant.

Qinghua County is a treasure land of feng shui, not afraid of drought and flood.

A hundred years ago, Gu Xiaozhao's ancestors failed in the family infighting and left for a long time, thirty years ago, Taizu Gu Yuzhang earned a lot of wealth outside, returned to his hometown, and was re-included in the ancestral hall by the Qinghua Gu family, and returned to his hometown, and this mansion was built at that time.

This mansion is in the southwest of Qinghua County, built against the ancestral house of the Gu family, and is only separated by a wall from the Gu family's big house that is now in power.

The Gu family is a big family in Qinghua County, and the entire southwest region is the territory of the Gu family, and all kinds of courtyards spread outward in turn with the ancestral house as the center, and in Qinghua County, there is the name of Gu Bancheng, which means that half of Qinghua County is owned by the Gu family.

Of course, the Gu family is also very good in the eyes of the common people!

Even if it has been inherited for hundreds of years, it is just a county tyrant, and it can only run rampant in Qinghua County, and the standard soil overlord is a distant distance from those world gate valves.

Gu Xiaozhao didn't know why his house was returning to Qinghua County, when his parents disappeared, the original owner was only thirteen years old, and a lot of information was not left.

What's more, the current memories that Gu Xiaozhao obtained from the original owner are not complete.

In the Gu family, his own house should be the richest, right?

Not to mention the thousands of acres of paddy fields outside the city, not to mention the two tea mountains, just the industry in the city, there are more than 10 stores, there are rice shops, oil mills, iron shops, wine shops, inns, cloth villages, pharmacies, etc., not to mention, there are branches and houses in the state city.

This room is also the thinnest of people.

Now, I'm alone.

Unlike the other houses of the Gu family, his own house was originally divided out and then returned to the Gu family, and helped the Gu family solve a catastrophe at that time, so his own property was independent and not controlled by the patriarchs and ancestors of the Gu family.

That's why the original owner fell from a frightened warhorse, right?

Afraid that the original owner would not die, he also replaced the medicine with poison, which made the original owner bedridden and increasingly emaciated, which made it easier for him to take away.

Walking to the atrium, along the way, Gu Xiaozhao did not see a single subordinate.

Not only the maids, but even the handymen did not see a single one, and there were many fallen leaves in the courtyard, and dust was common in the eaves corridor.

It stands to reason that whether it is a courtyard or a verandah, even if the courtyard wall must be cleaned and wiped every day, it must be kept neat and clean, and their parents have strict requirements for this, so they should not be dirty and dirty, right? After the parents disappeared, with the intention that the parents would return soon, the original owner also maintained strict requirements in this regard, hoping that the parents would not be disappointed when they returned suddenly.

And now?

This is the tree falling and scattering, or the catastrophe is coming......

Gu Xiaozhao took a slow breath and suppressed the remaining trace of anger and resentment of the original lord of the sea of knowledge, the existence of this emotion has an impact on the fusion of the primordial spirit and the body, even if it is forcibly suppressed, it is only a symptom, not a cure.

This forcible fusion has flaws and leaves demons in the heart.

If you want to solve this problem, the root cause is to help the original owner fulfill his wishes, so as to eliminate those emotions.

To do this, he must keep the family business, and he must find out the reason for the disappearance of his parents, and he must see people in life and corpses in death......

There are quite a lot of things, and they can only come step by step.

First of all, it is necessary to survive and keep this family business.

Who exactly wants to die on their own?

There is no need to look for any evidence, Gu Xiaozhao knows it.

In an instant, an old man who often wore a black robe and maintained a dignified demeanor came to mind, and the old man always smiled when he met him.

This person is Gu Yulin, the patriarch of the Gu clan.

Two years ago, not long after his parents disappeared, this Gu Yulin made a tentative move, saying that it was the Gu family, saying that the original owner was young and ignorant, and he had to be taken care of by relatives in the clan, and wanted to meddle in the original owner's house, but he was blocked by Qiao'er's father, who was also the housekeeper of the original owner.

The original owner's housekeeper is a person who practices martial arts, and dozens of strong men can't get close to him, all along, he has been managing the house's affairs, even when his parents are still here, the original owner trusts him very much, after all, for some reason, the original owner's parents often travel abroad, and it is actually the housekeeper who has been with him for a long time, so he and Qiao'er are brothers and sisters, and they also regard the housekeeper as an elder.

In order to protect the original owner, the housekeeper reduced his outings and was almost inseparable from the original owner.

If it wasn't for someone to get the information of the original owner's parents, the housekeeper would not have left the original owner's side, but what I didn't expect was that the housekeeper also disappeared after leaving, and soon after, the original owner also fell from a horse and was injured, and since then, the injury is difficult to heal, and he can't afford to be sick.

In order to save your life, you must first detoxify.

From the memory of the original owner, Gu Xiaozhao knew that there was a pharmacy in his house. As long as you go to the pharmacy and then distinguish the medicinal properties of the herbs, according to your own physical condition, you can find out the combination of certain medicinal herbs to remove the toxicity of the body.

Good health is the foundation, and then there is the next step.

There are five entrances in his own courtyard, the pharmacy is in the atrium, and the third courtyard is on the left side, Gu Xiaozhao is going there, but his memory is a little confused, coupled with physical reasons, he walked relatively slowly, and a quarter of an hour passed before he came to the neighborhood.

At this time, Gu Xiaozhao saw the others.

A man in a green coat and a small hat suddenly turned out from the other end of the verandah, and he looked back at it, and shouted loudly as he hurried this way.

"You wait, I'll come back soon, don't disperse, Lao Tzu really doesn't believe in evil today......!

When the words fell, he turned his head and happened to see Gu Xiaozhao.

At this time, his feet were in chaos and he almost fell, and at the same time, a panicked look suddenly spread his face, and his eyes flashed.

"Less...... Young Master!"

He stood still, bent subconsciously, bowed, and stammered.

Gu Xiaozhao squinted, and his gaze fell on the man indifferently.

At this time, the subordinate struggled to regain his composure from the initial panic, he seemed to remember something to rely on, and the whole person changed, the originally bent waist became straight, and the cautious posture disappeared, replaced by a lazy and indifferent body language.

"Young master, your body is not good, don't go around......"

The man looked up and said with a look of concern.

Then, he peeked at Gu Xiaozhao.

"Why don't I, Xiaosi, send you back to the inner courtyard?"

This sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy is called Gu Xiaosi, Gu Xiaozhao did not lie in bed, he was Gu Xiaozhao's entourage, if he went out, he would often follow.

At that time, he was not like now, and he almost put slackness on his face clearly.

Gu Xiaozhao ignored him, strode forward, and soon, he passed by the other party, Gu Xiaosi was a little flustered at this time, and wanted to stop Gu Xiaozhao, but he still didn't dare to stretch out his hand, and in the end, a false smile appeared on his face and followed behind Gu Xiaozhao.

At this time, he shouted loudly.

"Young Master is here, you guys, don't come and salute quickly!"
