Chapter 44: True Love
The next morning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Guo An continued on his way.
Walking along the area where everyone is smoky, Guo An tried his best to avoid the deep mountains and old forests along the way.
Alpine dense forest, multi-insect python. The deep forest valley is mostly the place where tigers, leopards and jackals live.
This world is full of spiritual energy, and the dragons, snakes, and demons lurk in the deep mountains. If you accidentally go deep into the dangerous place, you will often never return, and you will be devoured by tigers, wolves, and demons. There are also those who have a chance fate, and they are accepted as disciples by immortal hermits, or they are safely sent back to the world.
Since the legends are endless, there are many opinions, and there is no consensus.
At this time, it is past late autumn and early winter.
The original lush towering ancient trees have fallen and withered, and the forest is full of yellow leaves, and the tall canopy branches are forked and sparse, transmitting the skylight. Occasionally, the crunchy chirping of birds could be heard in the distance.
Along the edge of the Manggu Forest, vigilant in the depths of the forest, Guo An quickly interspersed through. There are often foxes, rats, badgers, and roe deer not far away, or the tail of the tail flees in panic, or raises its head to monitor Guo An passing by.
In the depths of the forest, from time to time there was a tiger howling and a wolf howling, which frightened the pheasants and sparrows and other birds in the forest to fly away.
Listening to its roar, you will know that the beast that makes the voice is a genus of demon beasts, and it has the cultivation of the qi training period.
In this world, there are countless great demons and beasts, and their mixed-race descendants are all over the world, occupying mountains and forests, and dominating them.
Human beings are highly intelligent, and it is easy to practice. The number of beasts is huge, and the spiritual sense is amazing, and it is easier for gifted people to absorb the aura of heaven and earth than humans. The wisdom and cultivation of non-advanced demon beasts do not need to be high, they can have a huge impact on the production and life of mortals.
There are no wild demons in the land of Bai'an, but wild beasts are by no means rare. Every few years, the monk family organized a large-scale siege to curb the flood of wild beasts.
Although he has the ability to kill all the demon beasts under his rule, no Xiuzhen family has done so.
A mortal once asked, and replied, "This Heavenly Daoer!"
Although he was not afraid of the demon beasts in the forest, Guo An was in a hurry and didn't want to make any extraneous branches.
Leaving the ancient forest behind, Guo An looked at the endless fields and fields in front of him.
"Bleak and desolate!"
Winter wheat has long been planted, and there is no one in the land. In the distance, the skyline is dotted with villages, shadowed in the drifting morning mist, and the roosters and dogs are faintly crowing.
The earth is vast, and God is vast!
Who rises and falls?
"Lonely!"
The sky is high and the earth is wide and lonely.
The love of the sky and the meaning of the earth are deeply imprinted into Guo An's soul. The vast and simple Taoist intention grew in his mind.
Two tears fell silently.
A pale yellow, a kind of moving, flowing in my heart.
"Ask the vast earth, who is the lord of ups and downs!"
"My lord's ups and downsβ"
Looking into the distance and clasping his hands, Guo An's heart to the Tao was strengthened again.
Before noon, Guo An entered Chili City and returned to his mansion.
I have seen the "Palace of Impermanence of Life and Death" like hell, and the status of "home" in Guo Anxin is more important.
This mansion is not huge or magnificent, the scenery is neither chic, nor solemn, but it gives Guo An a kind of warmth, the warmth of home, and the harbor of the soul.
This is my home, and my family lives here.
There used to be such a warm home in another world, which was a sheltered home and sheltered from the wind and rain. At that time, I didn't take it to heart.
When I lost it, I regretted it.
Every time I lie in bed before falling asleep, every time I wake up in the morning, I have a kind of loneliness and illusion from the soul.
In order to dispel this "fatal" emotion, "self" frantically hypnotized "self"-
"I am Guo An! Guo Ningcheng and the Yang family in this mansion are their 'biological parents', and Guo Qingyu and others are their own brothers and sisters. β
In order to dispel this "fatal" emotion, "myself" practiced frantically, seized every opportunity and time to climb up, and desperately improved his cultivation, so as not to have free time to think wildly.
It is unknown whether God will give "myself" another chance to cross, but "myself" must be the master of "self".
"I want the heavens and all the worlds to no longer be able to bind my body and my mind. I'm going to take fate by the throat, I'm going to turn back time!"
"When the mountains are full of flowers and the streams are murmuring, I will smile sincerely. My parents in my previous life, you wait for me, and then I will come back and be your 'good son' again!"
"Young Masterβ"
When the people saw Guo An, they put down the guys in their hands and knelt on the ground to salute.
They had genuine smiles on their faces.
Although the Lord is young, he is so good that he is famous and leaves the city. As a member of the Guo Mansion, he has a lot of face when he goes out. When it comes to their own masters, outsiders have to give them a thumbs up and praise them loudly.
"Get up, work hard, I won't treat my own people badly. β
Guo An pacified his servants, and then walked towards the inner courtyard.
As soon as he entered the study, Jiang Menghong came in breathlessly.
"Young Master!"
The proud and delicate face was slightly red, a pair of black eyes were full of moisture, and the cherry lips and small mouths were pouted together, and the tears that were worth more than a thousand gold were about to flow down.
At first glance, when he saw the "young master", Jiang Menghong was overjoyed with huge grievances.
The "young master" hurriedly went out with a simple explanation, and it took more than 20 days and nearly a month to leave. There was no news of anything that had never happened before.
Even the last time the "young master" went to inspect the Fengyi in Qi'an Village, it was only four or five days later. And everyone also knows the purpose and place of the young master.
But when the young master went out this time, everyone was blind, and they didn't know the slightest news. The longer the time dragged on, the more panicked and unstable the whole mansion became, as if the sky had fallen.
As Guo An's personal maid and the closest person to him, Jiang Menghong was called to him by Guo's father and Guo's mother more than once for questioning. She was speechless.
In recent days, even Baiyinyuan has sent people to ask Jiang Menghong.
And these days, there are still visitors from the outside world.
Jiang Menghong, as a qi practitioner, is naturally superior to ordinary mortals in terms of identity, and only she is qualified to receive visitors on behalf of Guo An.
Jiang Menghong has changed from a deep favorite girl who indulges in frolicking to a "hostess" who properly greets guests, and she must be generous, dignified and decent, and advance and retreat in a certain way, which is obviously a little difficult for her.
With the example of the "perverted" Guo An in front of him, no matter how Jiang Menghong imitates and answers, he can't satisfy himself.
At this time, she realized how "excellent" her young master really was! She found that she was not yet capable of being the backbone of a big family.
Now that the young master has come back silently, Jiang Menghong feels that a huge burden can finally be unloaded. It's just that I can't tell the grievances in my heart.
When he left that day, for the safety of his family, Guo An couldn't say anything, let alone show any abnormality.
Doing so really wronged Jiang Menghong.
Moreover, the demons in the outside world can't find themselves, and Jiang Menghong will also be targeted by them, inadvertently putting Jiang Menghong in inexplicable danger.
Fortunately, I came back, and the burden of Qianjun was borne by myself!
Guo An clearly sensed Jiang Menghong's emotions. He stepped forward to hug Jiang Menghong, stroked her back with both hands and patted her shoulders to comfort her.
However, a teenager or a child who has just arrived on the chest of a young girl, patting the girl's back to comfort the girl, how does this style of painting look incongruous.
Shouldn't it be the other way around, the legendary sister comforts the younger brother?
After a while, Jiang Menghong left a few tears on Guo An's back before he collected his feelings.
Feeling a little embarrassed, she wiped her eyes, and Jiang Menghong explained in detail what had happened inside and out these days.
"Young Master, these days, the master and the lady are very worried about you, Young Master Lu Kun and others have been here twice, Young Master Guo Xun has been here once, and there are a few foreign monks who have the intention of taking refuge, so I let them leave their addresses firstγγγγγγ β
"Menghong, you have behaved very well this time, and I am very pleased that you can support this family when I am away. I am very happy that you can help me. She comforted Jiang Menghong again, if Jiang Menghong exercised, then she would receive visiting friends instead of herself, and she would have more time to practice and think.
"Help me get dressed, I'm going to go and say hello to my father and mother first. Guo An commanded.
After returning to the bedroom and changing into new clothes, Guo An entered the back house to greet his parents.
After enjoying some warm family affection, Guo An, who returned to the study with an ear of advice, understood that this family urgently needed another child with spiritual roots.
In the afternoon, Guo An asked Yang Keyi to call Uncle Chen.
"Young Master is well!"
Uncle Chen is also very worried about Guo An these days.
"I'm fine. Guo An replied.
For Uncle Chen, Guo An is still very close.
"How's the development of the Great Wind Hall lately?"
"Young Master, over the past few days, Dafeng Hall has recruited a total of hundreds of people, from all walks of life, all of whom are elites. There are a total of eight martial artists in the innate stage, fifteen martial artists at the peak of the day after tomorrow, and more than thirty master martial artists, and their cultivation ranges. The rest are ordinary people, who have no cultivation or only a little bit of fur kung fu. It's just a cultivator in the Qi refining period, and there is no one else except Wu Qicai. If the subordinates are ineffective, please punish the young master. β
As he spoke, Uncle Chen knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"Hurry up!" Guo An hurriedly helped Uncle Chen up. "What's wrong with you, it's difficult for you to recruit qi practitioners as an innate martial artist. How can I not distinguish between right and wrong because of this? Uncle Chen, I have a lot of trust in you. As long as you work for me with your heart, I will give you a brilliant future. β
Guo An's true feelings.
"Young Master Xie!" Uncle Chen was full of gratitude.
"Your Dafeng Hall will do a few things for me as soon as possible. Guo An gave Dafeng Tang a task through Uncle Chen.
"First, find me more than a dozen well-educated people, and I need to form a secretariat. β
"Secretariat?" Chen Bo was puzzled.
"Yes. I need some really knowledgeable people to help me organize the literature and provide references. β
Although Chen Bo was still puzzled, he did not continue to ask.
"Second, give me a large collection of academic books from hundreds of schools. Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Legalism, Moism, Zonghengjia, Famous Scholars, Yin and Yang Scholars, Farmers, Novelists, Miscellaneous Families, etc., I want books from all of them. β
"Third, let Dafengtang set up a file for me on the talented people from all walks of life in the city. I know who to turn to when I need to. When I have the ability in the future, I will also include the capable people in my entire Chili Guo clan's sphere of influence, and even expand to the entire Yuzhou. β
"Let's do these things first, and we'll talk about the rest later. The talented people I ask for are not all monks, ordinary mortals, as long as they have a skill, they are also included. β
"Young master, this is going to do a big job!" Guo An's task made Uncle Chen stunned.
