Obviously, after Jiang Yichen carried Huo Nan on his back to the Yuzhou Alley of Jinzhou City mentioned by Yingfo, he could not find a miracle doctor who could rejuvenate him, let alone a miracle medicine that could bring him back to life.
All we have here is a home.
A place that can be called home to Huo Nan according to Shadow Buddha.
Home, a place with family can be called home.
In the past twenty years, Huo Nan has had hundreds of faces, and her main identity, besides the smiling Maitreya, is Young Master Tinglan.
And the identity of Young Master Tinglan has been shared with Gu Lian for about ten years.
When it comes to who in the world is most involved in Huo Nan's daily life, and who can best bring the feeling of life and the warmth of home to Huo Nan, Gu Lian is the only one who can hear it.
Compared to the cold and deserted residence next to the Huo family ruins in Jinzhou City, of course, the place where Gu Lian is is considered Huo Nan's home.
Therefore, in the face of Jiang Yichen's frantic questioning, Shadow Buddha, who had promised Huo Nan to take her back to Jinzhou City, changed his mind and decided to go against Huo Nan's wishes and let Jiang Yichen bring her to this home to spend this time. The last days.
This is also the first time in the past 20 years that Shadow Buddha has made an opinion on behalf of Huo Nan as an elder.
As Huo Nan's uncle, Yingfo didn't want his niece to do everything she could to avenge the Huo family, only to die alone with no one by her side.
Here, there is Gu Lian, Youkong Yihen, him, Jiang Yichen and Leng Mei.
There is no shortage of juniors and elders. I think Huo Nan will not feel lonely before the deadline comes.
…
…
Huo Nan was in coma for a full day and night before she woke up.
During this period, Jiang Yichen didn't eat any food or salt. He only drank a few water and just stayed there.
If Gu Lian hadn't found him dirty and kicked him out of the room because he wanted to clean Huo Nan's body, Jiang Yichen would have stayed there until Huo Nan opened his eyes.
It was also during this period that Jiang Yichen learned from Yingfo's mouth the general story of how Gu Lian was placed here, and the reason why Huo Nan was in the current situation.
It turns out that Gu Lian was "forced" to move and had a lot to do with Jiang Yichen.
Because Jiang Yichen secretly taught Jiang Yichen, who returned to Xishan Island two years ago and is bent on revenge, how to break through the evil gates of the earth, the cloak of "Master Tinglan" is no longer free from the world, spotless, and no longer flawless and impeccable.
In view of the fact that he will inevitably travel around in the next six months, it will be difficult to distract himself from all the temptations in Jinzhou City and maintain the existence of "Master Tinglan". As early as half a year ago, Huo Nan arranged for Gu Lian to move out with Kong Yihen. Jinju City.
The "Tinglan Master" who had been famous in Jinzhou for ten years disappeared from public view.
The houses in the east and west areas of Yuzhou Lane in Jinzhou City were bought by Huo Nan for Gu Lian a few years ago.
Three families of honest, tight-lipped people were given free accommodation to open their own shop, and they would only be given a 1% settlement fee to move out when the time came.
Gu Lian came to Jinzhou City more than three months ago. After getting familiar with it for a while, he started his teaching career, so he didn't seem out of place in the eyes of others.
As long as no one follows the clues, they will naturally not connect this unknown female teacher with Mr. Tinglan, who has disappeared from Jinzhou City for half a year.
Gu Lian settled here naturally.
The reason why Huo Nan settled Gu Lian in Jinzhou City was the same as General Niu Ke Lianniu chose to retire here.
In Zhongzhou, except for those remote and remote areas, Jinzhou City should be the last place where the war can reach.
If the war reaches Jinzhou City, then at least 70% to 80% of Zhongzhou will have fallen into the hands of foreigners.
And even if Jinzhou City is finally captured, those bandits will not be stupid enough to massacre the city and destroy the foundation of the geomantic treasure land that they have already captured.
In other words, after Huo Nan's death, no matter what the future holds for Zhongzhou, at least Gu Lian will not have to worry about his life.
As for why Huo Nan made this arrangement so early in consideration of Lian's whereabouts, it was like arranging funeral arrangements in advance.
The reason is very simple. As early as when Huo Nan, who was in Du Zhu, chose to step into the grotto and rely on the tantric formation to exchange Yangshou for the supreme cultivation root, he could no longer look back.
And the "Burning Heaven Technique" only accelerated Huo Nan's lifespan consumption.
It is rumored that the "Burning Heaven Technique" was created by a fire-cloud demon that lasted more than a hundred years.
Initially, it was just a superior fire-based internal skill that was extremely aggressive and destructive.
But the Fire Cloud Demon had a perverse temperament, didn't like to make friends, and made too many enemies, which eventually provoked a group of righteous people to attack him.
The Fire Cloud Demon's two fists were unable to defeat his four hands, and he was injured and escaped into the deep valley and dense forest.
Some righteous people gave up on this, but there were still a dozen masters who refused to give up and wanted to eradicate the root cause.
The Fire Cloud Demon was hiding in the east and could not bear to be disturbed. He actually spent a month under extremely difficult conditions to create the supreme realm of "Burning the Sky in Fire".
It can rely on melting one's own energy and blood to forcibly exert an attack power several times that of the top ten techniques.
That is using oneself as a matchmaker in the true sense to burn the sky and burn the earth!
The Fire Cloud Devil single-handedly dragged those dozen righteous masters to hell together!
It is said that the experience of the supreme realm he realized was carved on the wall of a stone cave, just to pass it on to those who are destined to do so.
Thinking about it, the Fire Cloud Devil might be extremely pleased that a hundred years later, his magical power is still there and he can still amaze the world.
When Huo Nan chose "Burning the Sky in Fire" among dozens of fire-based exercises, he valued the double guarantee of this exercise.
The first thing is that if Huo Nan is not Yu Tian's rival when they meet again, then Huo Nan can use this skill to burn in the sky and perish together with Yu Tian.
The second thing is that if Yu Tian is not as good as Huo Nan, then Huo Nan can easily control his life or death.
You can make Yu Tian fall off a high platform in front of thousands of people and lose face, let Yu Tian feel the despair of waiting for death, let Yu Tian taste the pain of disappearing and no longer exist!
Huo Nan made his own choice and walked his own path.
Jiang Yichen couldn't change and could only slowly accept the status quo.
He and Leng Mei found an inn in the city and booked a room. Except for sleeping at night, they almost never left Aunt Huo's side.
…
…
It was the seventh day after Yu Tian died.
The sixth day after Huo Nan woke up.
Three more unfamiliar figures appeared in Yuzhou Alley.
The neighbors subconsciously concluded that they were here to see Mr. Gu Lian and his family.
Just depending on the situation, these people are no longer relatives of Mr. Gu Lian, but more like people who have come to collect debts.
At least one of the beautiful women, who was so charming in her movements, looked very unkind.
However, before this beautiful woman approached Mr. Gu Lian's residence, she was stopped by a good-looking couple.
The beautiful woman is a ghostly enchantress.
As soon as they heard that Jiang Yichen had appeared in Youjing and was running towards Jinzhou City with a crazy expression, the ghostly enchantress heard the news and came over.
See the appearance of Gu Xinhun and Su Shou.
The ghostly enchantress instinctively felt that something bad was coming from them.
Normally, the ghostly enchantress might have wanted to chat with them in a pleasant manner.
But the Yilai Gang has been experiencing serious internal strife recently.
Duo Mingze was so questioned that he couldn't bear it and left the temples.
Shanshi wrote a letter confessing his betrayal. Although it did not directly cause any casualties among his sect members, it did induce conflicts within the gang and caused irreparable losses. He was embarrassed to see the two gang leaders and other sect members again. He resigned from his position in the gang and would no longer be in the gang. Show up.
Coupled with the chaos in the court, the ghostly enchantress had no time to take care of other things.
But the matter of revenge for the romantic son was stuck in her throat. After hearing the news about Jiang Yichen, she couldn't sleep or eat well until she came.
Then he asked Tantai Mingyang to continue to work for a while, and when she returned, we could work together to rectify the gang.
Now she hadn't even seen Jiang Yichen in person, but she had met someone who was trying to mess with her.
Naturally, she was furious, with murderous intent in her eyes!
Seeing this, Lone Heart Soul advised: "Ghost Gang Leader, please be patient and calm down. It is not appropriate to start a big fight in Jinzhou City."
The ghostly enchantress glanced around, and there were so many people walking around. Seeing the tense situation here, they all tactfully stayed close to the wall or took a detour.
As for the eyes that lingered on her appearance and figure, they were frightened by the murderous look just now and no longer dared to look directly at her.
The ghostly enchantress said harshly: "You want to meddle in other people's business?"
Gu Xinhun said: "Is the ghost gang leader coming to take Jiang Yichen's life?"
Although few people know about the sibling relationship between the romantic and the ghostly enchantress, almost everyone knows that the ghostly enchantress has chased the killer Ye Xiao twice but failed, which is enough to conclude that there is a great hatred between the two.
The ghostly enchantress didn't want to explain the reason, so she just said: "Yes."
Gu Xinhun said: "I don't know if there is any grudge or rift between the two of them. Since the ghost gang leader doesn't want to talk about it, it's useless to ask anyone to be the peacemaker."
The ghostly enchantress does not deny it.
Gu Xinhun said: "Then let me make it clear, Jiang Yichen's life is guaranteed!"
Instead of being angry, the ghostly enchantress smiled and asked, "Then do you represent yourself or the Hongchen Inn?"
Gu Xinhun said: "It represents myself and also represents the Wuxiang Sect."
The ghostly enchantress was stunned when she heard the words: "Wuxianmen?"
It took quite a while for the ghostly enchantress to search her mind for some memories related to the Wuxiang Sect.
He looked at Gu Xinhun with a more scrutinizing look and asked, "Are you Gu Su..."
Gu Xinhun added the last word and said: "Che."
Although the Wuxiang Sect was a member of the Kyushu Sworn Alliance at that time, its number was too small and it was located in a corner. It was almost equivalent to having a false title in the Kyushu Four Seas Alliance to avoid war. The temples were even more closely related to the Wuxiang Sect. Without interaction, if she hadn't been the leader of a gang, Ghost Demon Queen might not necessarily have understood the basic information about the Wuxiang Sect.
For example, Master Shen Qian, the founder of the Wuxiang Sect, was originally a wandering Taoist priest. It was during the chaos in the foreign barbarians twenty years ago that he rescued the three brothers of the Gu family, took the three brothers with him, and accepted them as disciples. .
However, the establishment of the Wuxiangmen sect was not that long ago, and it was not even older than her.
However, the Wuxiangmen Zhen Sect's secret art "Wuxiang Sitting and Forgetting the Heart" has quite a history. It is said to be related to the Xiaoyao sect which ceased to exist a long time ago but was famous in Zhongzhou for hundreds of years. It was born out of "Xiaoyao Jue".
Judging from Master Shen Qian's few actions in the past, the rumors seem to be true.
It was precisely because of this that the Wuxiang Sect was convicted of a crime and was brutally exterminated four or five years ago, causing quite a stir in the world.
The ghostly enchantress dug through the relevant information in her mind one by one, and felt a little dizzy.
Only then did I realize that I had been feeling restless lately, and my mood swings were too high. In addition, I had been running around for a long time, and my body, which had not recovered from the serious injury after the Hundred Flowers Conference, was really too much to bear.
Gu Xinhun saw the fatigue of Gui Mei Enchantress in his eyes, and advised him earnestly: "Gui Mei Gang Leader seems to be in bad condition. Not to mention that this place is not suitable for a big fight. Even if he really wants to do it, Gui Mei Gang Leader should recover his body and spirit before coming. Otherwise, how is it any different from seeking death? Not to mention dying by my hands or Jiang Yichen's hands, if there is really someone with evil intentions, the ghost gang leader may have died before even walking in front of his enemy."
The ghostly enchantress closed her eyes for a moment. After opening her eyes again, her eyes were as sharp as before and she said, "What you said makes sense, but now that I'm here, I have no intention of returning empty-handed."
"Everything in the world is unpredictable, and there are so many things that can't keep up with changes in plans." Having said all that needs to be said, Gu Xinhun said no more and raised his hand towards the outside of the alley, "Ghost Gang Leader, please invite me."
The ghostly enchantress heard the two meanings of the word "please" in Gu Xinhun.
The first floor is asking her to return empty-handed.
The other level is to ask her to take action.
…
…
Yuzhou Alley is not a big alley, and the commotion outside can easily attract the attention of people inside.
"Fortunately, I've finished my meal."
Huo Nan, whose face became increasingly pale and haggard, lay on the rocking chair with his eyes closed and muttered to himself.
Gu Lian and Leng Mei were washing dishes in the kitchen.
Shadow Buddha and Kong Yi hate the two elders but they are nowhere to be found.
Only Jiang Yichen stayed beside Huo Nan, slightly lost in thought as he listened to the noise outside.
"I gonna go see."
Jiang Yichen was about to stand up but was pushed down by Huo Nan's outstretched hand.
Even though Huo Nan's hand didn't use even half of the strength, Jiang Yichen didn't dare to disobey in the slightest.
Sit down and don't move, and then something comes to mind.
If Gu Xinhun is Gu Su Che from the Wuxiang Sect, then he might not be here to seek revenge from Smiling Maitreya.
He has a certain fondness for Gu Xinhun, whom he has met several times.
For Gu Su Che, whom he had never met before, when he first heard the news that the other party was still alive, he felt it was an unexpected surprise.
But when the two merged into one, he didn't know how to face it.
Especially when he felt that the other party would pose a threat to Huo Nan, he hoped that the latter would never appear.
Huo Nan saw through his mind at a glance and said, "Don't worry, he is not hostile to me."
Jiang Yichen knew that Huo Nan was talking about the time of Southern Shaolin, so he said: "At that time, he was not Gu Su Che at that time."
Huo Nan smiled and asked, "When I was not on guard against him, he didn't take action. He had to wait until I was running out of time before he revealed his identity and came to take my life?"
Jiang Yichen was speechless when asked.
I heard Huo Nan add: "The fact that he has been silent for so long shows that he is a person who can afford to let go. Judging from the fortune and rise of Hongchen Inn in the past two years, he does not seem to be taking advantage of others. hypocrite."
Jiang Yichen knew that he couldn't defeat Huo Nan, and he was indeed convinced by Huo Nan, so he had to use the donkey at the foot of the slope to say: "Since the other party came specifically for me, I can't hide away, right?"
Huo Nan said: "I don't want you to hide from Gu Su Che, but I want you to hide from the ghostly enchantress."
Perhaps it was because he had been too exhausted for the past few days, or perhaps Jiang Yichen always unconsciously gave up thinking in front of Mr. Tinglan. At that moment, Jiang Yichen did not understand the implication of Huo Nan's words at all, so he could only ask: "What does aunt mean?" yes?"
Seeing this, Huo Nan really felt like a shrewd head of the family was educating the children of an incompetent family. He couldn't help laughing, and rolled his eyes at Jiang Yichen before explaining.
“The gods of the gods were able to stand out from many sects in less than twenty years and once reached the top of the Four Seas Alliance. Although it was not the fault of Ghost Demon Queen alone, it cannot conceal the shrewdness and ability of Ghost Demon Witch.
"But everyone has weaknesses and weakness, and the thought of her brother Feng Liuzi's safety being her biggest weakness.
"Although this is an afterthought, the ghostly enchantress has been too emotional and unruly in her actions in the past few years since Merry's accidental death at your hands. Furthermore, recently, she has been chasing you all the time and has been overworked, which shows that she is too emotional. The mental state has become somewhat distorted.
"If you don't show up at this time and let Gu Su Che help you drive her away, you can live in peace for a while.
"If you insist on showing up, I'm afraid she won't be able to control herself. Even if Su Che stops her, she will pay with your life.
"It would be fine if this was a suburb, but there are so many people here. If she loses control and misses, she will inevitably be killed and injured.
"understand?"
Jiang Yichen nodded in agreement like a chicken pecking at rice.
Huo Nan added: "In fact, as you are now, you can only escape in front of her. If you really want to fight head-on, you will still be dead."
Jiang Yichen scratched his head in embarrassment upon hearing this.
Huo Nan pulled out a booklet from somewhere and handed it to Jiang Yichen.
"Xiao Lian is here to be taken care of by the old man and his uncle is taking care of him. I feel relieved.
“It’s just you and I have to worry about it.
"I have been thinking about it for a long time these days, and I believe that the solution to your hidden danger of false dantian lies in the Huatian Sword Sect's "Zixia Divine Art".
"Try to follow the method described in my book to blend with the "Frost and Snow Qi" water and fire.
"If you can turn ice into artesian water and make your pseudo-dantian no longer a fixed form but a flowing form, then your hidden dangers will naturally disappear.
"At that time, Shuangxue's Qi was no longer Shuangxue's Qi, and it should be improved.
"I have no intention of naming the secret of the technique. If you can really practice it by then, you can name it yourself."
Jiang Yichen remembered Huo Nan's words in his heart, but he was completely stunned when he took the book.
…
…
The first day of September.
The eighth day after Huo Nan woke up.
According to Shadow Buddha, it was two days before Huo Nan's deadline.
Jiang Yichen was driven out of Jinzhou City by his ears held by Aunt Huo's family.
Huo Nan did not plan to hold a funeral, but only said that she would be burned to ashes by Gu Lian and thrown into the sea.
Because she had never been to the sea in her life, after spending some time in this harbor, she actually yearned for the sea.
By driving Jiang Yichen away, he not only didn't want the other party to face sadness, but also didn't want the other party to waste time here.
Because in the days before the Zhongzhou court was initially settled, Dongying, Du Zhu, and Luo Yue could not wait to launch an attack on Zhongzhou!
The end of Zhongzhou will also come soon?
