Gu Hongting looked at Gu Yucheng carefully. Although his eyebrows were smiling, there was uncontrollable sadness.
Gu Hongting sighed slowly, "The authentic descendants of the Gu family, Zhicheng and An, you two. You don't think you will ever look back at home again... Yu'an has also left home to pursue a higher realm. I don't know when he will return. , maybe he will come back.”
Gu Yucheng's heart moved slightly, and he could feel Gu Hongting's lament for the decline of the Gu family.
Gu Hongting finally explained with difficulty, "It's a good thing for you two to leave Nanjun. It's better than being confined to this corner."
Gu Yucheng still didn't say anything and didn't know how to answer.
Gu Hongting also felt the gap between himself and his grandson, and no longer sighed, but changed the topic, "The Gu family in Nanjun may not fall. - If one day, you are done with everything, come back and take a look."
Immediately, Gu Hongting continued, "I think you can feel that I haven't liked you since you were a child.
This is actually because of your mother. And today, as soon as I saw your golden eyes, I knew that you were here to get to know your mother. "
Gu Yucheng nodded and muttered for a long time, "I can already feel it, my mother's bloodline."
Gu Hongting grinned, "Of course. Your mother has a pair of golden eyes, which are extremely moving. You look like your mother now, between your eyebrows and your eyes."
Gu Yucheng was a little moved and a little anxious, so he asked, "Grandpa, do you know my mother..."
Gu Hongting shook his head and said slowly, "I don't know who your mother is. To be precise, I don't know her identity. Moreover, I don't know whether your mother is still alive or not. I can only say something about myself. Known.”
Gu Yucheng felt a little cold in his heart. Although he longed to know everything about his mother, he could only learn a few words from Gu Hongting.
Gu Hongting recalled for a moment and started to talk, "I didn't tell you before, but I was actually complaining... Today, I will tell you one by one. Your father has shown his talent for cultivation since he was a child. Of course, he is first-rate in Nan County. I don't know if it's outside.
Your mother was brought back by your father when he went out to Nan County to transport goods.
The first time I saw your mother, I only saw her golden eyes. "
Gu Hongting recalled, "Your mother...she is a cold person.
It's good for the Gu family and your father. Rather, she is cold to everything around her. "
"If I have to describe it, then your mother is like a bottle of frozen poison. Others are lost people who are about to die of thirst. They know that they will die after drinking this bottle of poison, but they still can't help it. Drink it. - This is how your mother feels to me. Mingwen treats your mother as if she was poisoned..." After a long silence, Gu Hongting slowly looked at Gu Yucheng.
Gu Yucheng remained silent, but his heart was gradually turbulent.
Gu Hongting sighed, and then said, "I have very few contacts with your mother.
In the entire Gu family, only me and your father know about your mother. ——Your mother left the Gu family when you were one month old. Your father misses your mother very much. He planted the sycamore trees in the courtyard for your mother, saying that your mother liked them.
As for why, it's probably because of Phoenix Qitong. "
Gu Yucheng frowned slightly.
My mother left before I was one month old.
Therefore, I don’t have any memory of my mother...
Gu Hongting looked at Gu Yucheng's appearance and sighed slightly in his heart.
Gu Yucheng asked, "Yueqiu? - Yueqiu is also my sister?"
After all, Bai Yueqiu also has a pair of golden pupils.
Gu Hongting shook his head and sighed, "No, I don't know that. Yueqiu was also brought back by your father after he went out. It should have been you that time
Mother sent Yueqiu here.
But I think Yueqiu is not your mother's daughter. Although Yueqiu also has a pair of golden eyes, she looks nothing like your parents..."
Gu Yucheng collected himself and asked the last question, "My mother, do you know her whereabouts?...Grandpa."
When Gu Hongting heard Gu Yucheng's "grandpa", his body trembled, and then he laughed miserably and said, "Your mother should be a demon clan. - After all, the south of Nanjun is the demon country. Although I have never seen anyone from the demon clan, I have never met anyone." The Demon Tribe, even though the storyteller mentioned the Sea Spirit Tribe, I have never seen it before.
But I think your mother is a demon. ——Yueqiu is probably a demon clan. But I'm not sure about all this. "
When Gu Yucheng heard this, his heart trembled.
Yue Qiu is indeed a member of the demon clan, there is no doubt about it. Gu Yucheng's mother is indeed a demon clan. ——What kind of story will there be about her?
These questions made Gu Yucheng more determined to go to the Demon Country.
Gu Yucheng was silent for a moment, then stood up and bowed to Gu Hongting, "My grandson once took his sister away from the Gu family. He failed to fulfill his duty as a brother, so Ling Yueqiu was taken to the Demon Country.
I came back this time just to have a direction. Now that I understand this, it’s time to set off. "
With that said, Gu Yucheng turned around and left.
Gu Hongting struggled to get up. Seeing this, Gu Yucheng quickly stepped forward to help him.
Gu Hongting's hand, as dry as the roots of an old tree, grabbed Gu Yucheng's wrist and asked sadly, "You won't even say take care of me?"
Gu Yucheng was stunned for a moment. My heart was slightly turbulent.
Gu Hongting grieved for a moment, then let go of his hand little by little, "Forget it, forget it. You are not young anymore. You can easily come in and out of Gu's house. I guess you are at the enlightenment stage like your wayward father, right?"
Gu Yucheng nodded.
Gu Hongting smiled happily, "Okay, okay, that's great. - Hey. That's it."
Gu Hongting suddenly no longer looked old, looked directly at Gu Yucheng and said, "Yucheng. Your name is the one I gave you at the beginning. It is taken from what Zhang Zai said, 'Poverty, lowliness, sorrow, and mediocrity make you successful.'
Difficulties and hardships will eventually test you.
What grandfather doesn’t want his direct grandson to have a healthy life? ——But you can't. Do you want to know why? "
It was the first time that Gu Yucheng spoke so much to his grandfather. Looking at this grandfather who pretended to be tough and strong, Gu Yucheng felt a little dazed for a moment.
Gu Hongting smiled, "Because of your mother. - Although Nan County is not big, gold is found in the sand and jade is found in the stone. It is an ordinary place, and it is not mediocre from generation to generation."
Although I have never experienced strong winds and waves, I can still see that your mother is not an ordinary person at all. Her every move and action reveals a kind of aloofness. A person like her has a relationship with our Gu family and even gave birth to you. …This used to keep me awake day and night.
I have always been afraid that your mother would cause the unknown forces behind her to pay attention to the Gu family and cause catastrophe to the Gu family..."
Gu Hongting continued, "Your father's realm may have been guided by your mother's guidance... I have been afraid countless times that your mother would push this family that has settled down in Nan County into the abyss.
It's a pity that your father is devoted to her and doesn't want to listen to me at all... He even took in your sister. "
Gu Hongting slowly walked towards Gu Yucheng, "My child, you are the eldest son of the Gu family, and your life experience has destined your life to be anything but ordinary.
I hope you can be like a big brother and leave stability to that boy Yu An. Unfortunately... this doesn't seem to be possible either.
I hope your father keeps the family at heart, but your father seems to care more about the people close to his heart.
I wanted you to be extremely talented, but that didn't work out either. "
Gu Hongting caught
Living on Gu Yucheng's shoulders: "In the second half of my life, things rarely go as I wish. I am not good to you. I know this because I have always regarded you as a buffer zone from the forces behind your mother.
And when you didn't meet my expectations, I was disappointed and tired of you... But at the same time, you are my grandson. I have to admit that a lot of my neglect of you stems from the differences between your father and me. "
"However, now that everything is like this, I no longer hope for anything.
The only thing I hope is that if you go to that demon country, you can come back safely. Gu Hongting looked at Gu Yucheng, "Can you promise me?" "
Gu Yucheng had mixed feelings in his heart.
It is easy to be humiliated if you see clearly, and it is easy to be humiliated if you ignore it. It is difficult to find the right solution for hundreds of things.
If you are aware of everything, you will easily damage your character. Although he treats people and things equally, he is easily insulted. In everything, it is difficult to find the right path.
Gu Yucheng could see that his grandfather valued him by his own interests, but he did not completely cut off the family ties.
Even if Gu Hongting told the truth, it might be because he knew he couldn't hide it from Gu Yucheng, or he was unwilling to take the risk to hide it from Gu Yucheng, rather than revealing his true feelings.
Gu Yucheng saw it so clearly that he was confused.
Gu Yucheng nodded slowly, then looked at Gu Hongting, thinking in his heart, "The things in this world are boundless and boundless. Only by focusing on yourself can you not get lost. However, if you only focus on yourself, you will be easily paranoid. - Rather, you must have yourself in your heart, but you can’t just have yourself.”
Gu Yucheng walked forward slowly, and finally stretched out his hand to leave a touch of spiritual power in Gu Hongting's spiritual sea. "Grandpa, this is the spiritual power of the five elements. I will imprison it for you to feel and practice."
Gu Yucheng did what he wanted to do without too many scruples.
Gu Hongting was extremely pleasantly surprised, smiled and nodded, "Okay! Okay! What a great grandson."
Gu Yucheng felt a little cold in his heart and smiled.
What a person does is the greatest word. A person's words are the last of his actions.
A person's words are not reliable, his actions are the most reliable words.
Gu Hongting's attitude towards Gu Yucheng showed his closeness at the moment when Gu Yucheng gave him spiritual power.
Gu Yucheng had already seen that Gu Hongting was actually playing a psychological game with him, but this time it was Gu Yucheng who took the initiative to back down.
At this time, Gu Hongting said a shocking news: "Since you are going to the Demon Country, grandson... I will make one thing clear to you."
"Your father is still alive."
Gu Yucheng's spiritual power became uncontrollably agitated.
Gu Hongting slowly pointed to Gu Mingwen's tablet, "This tablet contains your father's spiritual power. Although the entire tablet is extremely dim, but if you feel it carefully, your father's spiritual power is still weakly attached to it.
But this also means that your father is in a very bad state. "
"I originally thought that your father would not last long in this state. However, since your father disappeared, your father's tablet has remained like this. So... your father is still alive and has continued in this state. Stay alive."
"I think your father was with your mother. - This is all I can say. A lot of it is just speculation." Gu Hongting slowly sat back on the futon.
Gu Yucheng stood there for a long time.
When Gu Yucheng came back to his senses, he didn't know how long it had been.
Gu Yucheng took a deep look at Gu Hongting, then bowed and said, "My grandson bids farewell to grandpa. Grandpa, take care!"
Gu Hongting looked at Gu Yucheng's figure, and a thousand thoughts stopped at his lips and teeth, and finally they could only turn into a sigh.
Gu Yucheng turned around decisively and walked away, finally giving up.
A trip to the Demon Country is destined to be extraordinary.
