Guo Yuan left the general's mansion with the support of the man in black, and left Yuting City, the capital of the Yan Kingdom, in anger. Although the city gate defenders did not know Guo Yuan's true identity, they had accidentally seen this man with Baili several times before. The generals rode side by side, so naturally they did not dare to stop them and let them pass silently.
The two of them came to a ruined temple in the wilderness outside the city. Guo Yuan, who had been furious before, now felt as if his body was boiling over, and the burning was not easy. Seeing this, the man in black sighed silently, and went out to look for food and water. When the man in black left, Guo Yuan, who was alone in the room with no one around, slumped down on the dilapidated futon and said with a wry smile: "Master, you are right, I, Guo Yuanwen, cannot stabilize a country, nor can I use force to conquer the territory. A hand without the strength to restrain a chicken is really useless."
After sighing for a while, the man in black returned to the temple, carrying a few pheasants in his hands, plucking the feathers to light a fire, and preparing food for Guo Yuan. At this time, he heard the sigh, stood up silently, and walked behind Guo Yuan , comforted: "Master, please express your condolences and take care of yourself."
Guo Yuan glanced at the personal guard who had been guarding him since he could remember. But for more than thirty years, Guo Yuan had never known his name, and he had never even seen his true face. He was considered the most familiar person. of strangers. I only remember that when I was a child, my father brought this man to me. At that time, the man in black looked so gloomy. Thirty years later, he still didn't look old. Guo Yuan had never seen him before. If you take action from this person, you have no idea of the depth of his cultivation.
The Guo family was originally one of the top ten wealthy families in Qingzhou, Liang State. Guo Yuanzu had been in business for generations, and his family was rich and envied. In order to protect his wife and children, Guo Zijing, the father of Guo Yuan, paid a lot of money to hire talented people and strangers from the world to serve as bodyguards. The only son Guo Yuan had high hopes from the family since he was a child, so his bodyguard ability was naturally good.
When he was studying in the academy, Guo Yuan, a latecomer, was so sharp that he was regarded as a strong rival by Li Mixian, who was a few years older and had entered school earlier. The latter had repeatedly encouraged other students to join forces to suppress Guo Yuan. Except for Song Jinyang, who What Guo Yuan didn't know was that it was the man in black who had secretly taught Li Mixian and others a lesson, except for the troublemaker who kept intervening. After that, he returned from his studies and traveled to a foreign country. Along the way, this man in black blocked many assassins sent by Emperor Wu of Liang. If not for this, let alone go to the Yan Kingdom and become an aide to advise the King of Yan Li Chengzhi, I am afraid that Guo Yuanlian You can't even get out of the Qingzhou boundary.
After hearing the man in black's persuasion, Guo Yuan slowly turned his head with a miserable expression: "I can't even protect the woman I love. Do you think I'm useless?"
The man in black replied: "My master is a scholar of heaven and earth. He is one of the most extraordinary talents in the world. Don't give up on yourself."
Guo Yuan gave a bitter smile and laughed at himself: "I am just a weak scholar with no strength. I wanted to stir up chaos in the world with my sharp tongue, or I might as well take advantage of the chaos to save the one I love, but I can't do it one after another. After two unsuccessful attempts to challenge Liang, not only did he lose Li Chengzhi's trust, but now he has parted ways with Baili Jin. Without the help of these two people, what if he has a lot of knowledge? If I had known this, I would have been better off practicing martial arts. If I could be like Sikong Li In this way, if I become a great martial arts master, I, Guo Yuan, will go straight to Qingyang City and take off Feng Jingquan’s head with my own hands!”
The man in black's eyes lit up, and then he sighed and asked, "Master, is this really what you think?" Seeing Guo Yuan's resolute expression, he nodded and continued, "Since the master has made up his mind, I will no longer hide it. The old master once said that if the master encounters disaster in the future and has the intention to practice martial arts, the villain must do his best to help the master."
Hearing this, Guo Yuan's eyes flashed with light, and then he lowered his head and said disheartenedly: "Although Guo doesn't practice martial arts, he also knows that martial arts practice is like dripping water through stone. The most important thing is to take one step at a time. If you want to reach the sky, you can't reach the sky in one step." It’s just an idiot’s dream, help me, how can you help me? How can you help me!”
The man in black smiled and said: "Master, don't worry, although the villain's martial arts level is average, he is familiar with all kinds of evil spells. The old master is kind to the villain, and this villain's life is his. Now that the old master is dead, that villain This life belongs to you, the master. Even if I go crazy and become a devil, the villain will not complain at all. Master, don’t worry. In less than three months, the villain will help the master achieve the virtual realm of heaven, human and virtual world. How difficult is it to kill Qingyang City alone!"
"It's just that such crooked ways will bring endless disasters. As a magician, the villain is against the laws of nature and cannot escape death. The same is true for the master. Regardless of whether Feng Jingquan can be killed or not, the virtual state can last for up to three hours, and after that, it will be a narrow escape. , If this is the case, will the master still insist on having his own way?"
Guo Yuan's heart was shocked. Although he did not practice martial arts, he also knew the weight of the three words "celestial realm"! Even if the virtual state can only last for three hours, it is a rare existence in the world. So what if it narrowly escapes death? Without An Murong, he was unwilling to live alone in this world. He and Feng Jingquan had a sworn feud. As long as he could kill him with his own hands, even if they died together, his wish would be fulfilled. After just thinking for a moment, he nodded and said: "If it is true as you said, Guo is certainly not afraid, but Guo does not want to harm others. Are you really willing to give your life in vain?"
The man in black smiled boldly and said: "If the old master hadn't saved me, the villain would have died long ago. The villain's life was originally given by the old master. It is the villain's duty to serve the Guo family. He will go through fire and water wherever he goes. Don’t give up!”
Guo Yuan sneered and said sarcastically: "You and I have been inseparable for more than thirty years. You should know that Guo is a cold-tempered person. He doesn't trust people's hearts. Don't say that my father is kind to you. Even if you die, It was me, Guo Yuan, who saved me, but if it was really a life-and-death moment, Guo wouldn’t believe you!”
The man in black sighed first, and then said with relief: "It is better to trust others than to trust yourself. At this juncture, you are still the same, and you are worthy of the descendants of our Guo family!" After saying that, he slowly took off his mask, revealing a face similar to Guo Yuan's. A pale face.
After Guo Yuan saw the true appearance of the man in black, he was extremely surprised and shouted: "Uncle! Why is it you?"
