Four hundred years ago, Lanzhou.
In a bamboo forest, a figure dressed as a soldier was running desperately.
Heavy boots stepped on the ground covered with fallen leaves, and the dead leaves splashed like water.
Gou Hanyi's nose was filled with the smell of blood, his breathing was as heavy as a bellows, and his legs were like lead, but he didn't dare to stop. He just bent over, holding the person on his back with both hands, and ran away.
Finally, the shouts of death behind him gradually faded away until they disappeared.
Gou Hanyi was exhausted and tripped over a dead tree, rolling over and falling.
The unconscious man on his back also fell to the ground.
"Master...Master..." Gou Hanyi exclaimed and crawled over using his hands and feet.
All he saw was that the Imperial Master had his eyes closed tightly and his face was pale. Relying on the monk's self-healing ability, the wounds tied with cloth strips on the chest and abdomen no longer bleed, but the person's breath is no longer detectable.
No matter how Gou Hanyi called and pushed carefully, there was no response.
The ugly-looking half-grown boy panicked, whining with anxiety, his eyes filled with tears, but there was nothing he could do.
He could only carefully carry the Imperial Master on his back again, with his two animal-like ears raised, and follow the sound as he walked.
Until an abandoned wooden house appeared in front of him, he pushed it open in surprise, only to find that no one had been here for a long time.
"Master...Master..." Putting the Imperial Master on the only narrow bed in the room, Gou Hanyi cradled his arm with his head.
no response!
no response!
He was so anxious that he suddenly realized when he heard the sound of hunger coming from the chest and abdomen of the unconscious Imperial Master, and his eyes lit up: "Food!"
Whether it's the instinct of the beast or the practitioner's body needing enough energy to heal itself, it all guides him in the direction.
He began to rummage around the house, and hopefully opened the cobweb-covered water tank in the corner, and then the light in his eyes dimmed.
After thinking for a while, he took off his blood-stained armor, took off his blood-stained robe, and covered the imperial master.
Wearing only relatively clean single clothes, I walked out of the wooden house. Following the guidance of my sense of smell, I walked out of the bamboo forest and came to a small town.
It was noon, and smoke was rising from the town. Gou Hanyi came to the door of the first household at the entrance of the town, and knocked on the door carefully: "Dong dong."
"Who is it?" A man's voice came from inside the house.
Gou Hanyi lowered his voice and stammered: "I...I want to beg for food...can you..."
"No!" the man yelled through the door: "Those who are begging for food should go elsewhere!"
Gou Hanyi hunched over, apologized humbly, walked to the door of the second house, and knocked on the door again.
"Who is it..." came a woman's voice, footsteps approaching, ready to open the door.
"I...I want..." Just as Gou Hanyi opened his mouth, the door opened, revealing the face of a slightly wary woman. When the other party saw his ugly appearance, she screamed and slammed the door shut. Come to the door and shout for help:
"The boss is a monster...a monster..."
Gou Hanyi's smile froze and he turned around and ran away.
He had experienced similar things many times.
Many years ago, after his father died, when the farmers holding torches and hoes rushed into the ruined temple to drive him away, they also shouted "monster".
got used to it. Even in the military camp over the years, many soldiers said this about him, but only the Imperial Master never looked at him strangely once from beginning to end.
Gou Hanyi thought for a while, tore off a piece of clothes, covered his face, put on a smile and knocked on the third door.
The person who opened the door this time was a gray-haired old woman. After seeing him masked, she shouted "robber", and then an old man rushed out with a shovel and beat Gou Hanyi, who was injured and had less strength than ordinary people. come out.
Then he went to knock on the fourth house...the fifth house...
Because of his ugly appearance and suspicious dress, almost all the townspeople did not give him food. Only a kind-hearted lady couldn't bear it and threw two wild vegetable dumplings through the door.
"Good people are rewarded with good things, and good people are rewarded with good things." Gou Hanyi said auspicious words while holding the dumplings.
Just two dumplings are not enough.
His nose twitched, and he followed the scent to the outside of a restaurant in the center of the town, staring longingly.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally tried to walk in, but was driven away by a sharp-eyed man with a wooden stick. He even kicked him out and cursed:
"Begging Hanako, don't even look at yourself. Come here again and break your legs!"
Gou Hanyi was kicked to the ground, and the two wild vegetable dumplings in his arms rolled out. He hurriedly crawled over on all fours and grabbed one. Just when he was about to grab the other, a delicate boot stepped on it.
Gou Hanyi raised his head blankly and saw a well-dressed and pot-bellied guest who had obviously just walked out of the restaurant.
He smelled of alcohol and was followed by evil slaves.
"Old... Master, you are so proud of yourself." Gou Hanyi stuttered and begged for mercy.
The drinker looked at the young man in single clothes with disheveled hair covering most of his face with drunken eyes, and said with a wanton smile:
"There's something interesting about this beggar, he's so patronizing... Haha, sir, this is the first time I've heard this."
Gou Hanyi had a smile on his face.
The drinker became interested and said with a smile: "What's the point of eating vegetable dumplings? If you look like this, you look like a dog. Let me learn how to bark a few times and give you a bowl of rice."
A group of people gathered around him. Gou Hanyi was stunned for a moment, and after only a few breaths of silence, he knelt on the ground, bowed his hands, and put on a flattering smile: "Woof! Woof woof!"
"Hahaha..." The drinker laughed loudly, and a group of surrounding drinkers also laughed, and some people upstairs threw food casually.
Amidst the laughter, Gou Hanyi lifted up his single coat as a pocket cloth and picked up the food on the ground one by one.
After a while, the group of people dispersed, and the restaurant waiter sneered: "Get out of there yet."
"Yes, yes..." Gou Hanyi got up and ran out of the town. He first went to the creek to wash off the soil-stained food, and then ran all the way back to the bamboo forest.
It was already dusk when I pushed away the wooden house.
The Imperial Master has woken up from his coma, but he has no strength and is lying weakly.
"Master...Master..." Gou Hanyi cheered in surprise and ran over.
"Han Yi..." The Imperial Master looked up weakly.
"Master...Master...I bought some food, you eat, you eat." He burst into tears and smiled, opening his pocket as if to offer a treasure, revealing the food and wine mixed together.
…
…
Ji Ping'an opened his eyes, and Xu Xiurong's voice became clear again.
"...No one knows how the Imperial Guardsman managed to survive during that period when he was short of food and clothing. They only know that Senior Brother Gou put in a lot of effort. Later, when the Imperial Guardsman recovered from his injuries and returned to the army, Senior Brother Gou was no longer a human being. Servant, he was accepted by the Imperial Master as his personal disciple."
Xu Xiurong spoke quietly.
Everyone at the stone table listened with rapt attention.
Mu Yaoyao asked curiously: "What happened next? How did Master Gou live for so long? Although the demon clan has a longer lifespan, most of them will not live for four to five hundred years. Besides, Master Gou is only half-demon and his cultivation level is not high. high."
Xu Xiurong sighed: "This is about what happens next. Do you still remember who was besieging the imperial master when he was seriously injured?"
"The powerful men led by Donghai Canglong." Huang He has a good memory.
Xu Xiurong nodded and said:
"The national master suffered such a catastrophe, but it was a blessing in disguise. After recovering from the illness, he broke through in one fell swoop. Then he rushed to the demon island in the East China Sea, beheaded the Canglong King, peeled off his skin and cramped his muscles, took out the demon pill from his body, gave it to Senior Brother Gou, and Assist in blood transfusion.
"Dragon Pill is extremely precious and its value is immeasurable. With the characteristics of a half-demon, Senior Brother Gou has been alive until now. Unfortunately, the half-demon's cultivation potential is too poor. Even with the strength of the national master, it is difficult to reverse it, so he only has a few hundred He has only stayed at Pojiu Realm for years."
Everyone was fascinated by what he heard.
It was as if he could imagine the scene of the imperial master slaying a dragon, and his blood was boiling.
Xu Xiurong concluded:
"So if there is anyone in Qintian Prison who has the most seniority and the most respected status, it is Senior Brother Gou.
"For hundreds of years, he has carefully cultivated young disciples. Every generation of outstanding disciples goes out for training, and he will follow the protector. If you see him in the future, remember not to be rude, especially don't stare at his face. Senior brother is lenient, although not The accountant will laugh it off, but if I find out who is being disrespectful, he will be severely punished according to the court rules."
The last warning was serious, and a group of disciples quickly expressed that they would never be rude.
After the story was told, the group of people were satisfied and stood up to leave.
Huang He was still curious and couldn't help but look at Ji Ping'an: "Sir, do you know the details of the time when the Imperial Master and Uncle Gou were in trouble?"
Ji Ping'an laughed and scolded: "Do you think the Imperial Master will tell me everything?"
Huang He lowered his head in disappointment, thinking that was true.
And just when everyone was walking together to the wooden courtyard and preparing to practice, suddenly... a rush of bells rang again, spreading throughout the Qintian Prison.
Everyone was stunned, and immediately turned to look at Ji Ping'an in unison: "Elder brother, what did you do again?"
Ji Ping'an couldn't laugh or cry: "What did I do again? This time it has nothing to do with me."
When everyone heard this, they became more and more confused, wondering what was going on. The bell usually didn't ring a few times a year, but today there were continuous incidents.
Xu Xiurong said: "This time it is not the bell that summons the prison princes to a meeting, but the bell at the entrance of Qintian Prison. Let's go over and have a look."
The group of people immediately walked towards the gate, and saw a group of people walking in from a distance, and a Dharma boat floating slowly in the sky.
"Could it be that Senior Sister Luo and the others are back?" Mu Yaoyao woke up.
I just mentioned that the other party would return to the divine capital in the next two days, but this kind of thing shouldn't ring a bell.
"What happened?" Xu Xiurong called a Diangu who rushed to clear the way and asked.
The latter looked anxious and said: "Reporting to the prison lord, Luo Sichen and his party have returned. Gou Sili is seriously injured and is looking for you to cast a spell to rescue him!"
"What?!" Xu Xiurong's face changed suddenly. He realized that something was urgent and he didn't dare to delay. His figure turned into starlight and fled forward.
"What happened? How could Uncle Gou be injured? Where are Senior Sister Luo and the others?" Mu Yaoyao asked eagerly.
Diangu said:
"Luo Sichen is fine, just slightly injured. The serious one is Gou Sili, who seems to be dying... It is said that he encountered a strong enemy during the training process, and everyone was scattered. Gou Sili was left alone, and what is the result?" Black Wind Evil's Jianghu gang ambushed them, killing people and seizing treasures. When Luo Sichen and others rushed over, Gou Sili was already bleeding profusely..."
Black wind evil?
Everyone was confused and had never heard of this name.
After Diangu finished speaking, he ran away, and soon the entire Qintian Prison was enveloped in an atmosphere of anger and depression, which made people breathless.
"Sir?" Huang He turned to look at Ji Ping'an. Suddenly, his heart palpitated. He felt the air was a little cold for no reason, so he called tentatively.
no response.
no response.
Ji Ping'an just stood quietly, looking at Gou Hanyi, who was rushed to treatment by five prison lords.
His face was expressionless.
There was no smile, no anger, no emotion whatsoever.
At this moment, it seemed that he was no longer a person, but an indifferent statue that had been separated from humanity, silently overlooking the world.
However, only his old friends and enemies who are most familiar with him clearly know what it means when the Great Zhou Imperial Master completely loses any expression.
That means...he's really angry.
