He could not forget the magnitude of his master's reaction, and he did not want to experience such a scene again.
Caiwei lowered her eyes and said nothing more.
She knew how much Gu Liushang cared about Mu Yichang, and also knew how afraid he was that Mu Yichang would not want him.
"Well, I just want to give you something to do so that you won't feel so uncomfortable thinking about her all the time." Caiwei said while stuffing berries into her mouth.
Gu Liushang stopped talking and stared blankly at the calm water in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Caiwei ate for a while. When she had eaten all the fruits on the branch, she threw the branch aside.
"Azhan, what are you thinking about?" she asked.
The young man seemed to have been interrupted. He looked at her blankly and said, "No, it's nothing."
Before Caiwei could speak again, Gu Liushang said again: "You can go back. You don't have to stay with me here. I want to sit alone for a while."
Caiwei was silent, and she said, "But your current condition looks very bad. I don't worry about you being alone."
Gu Liushang said: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."
Caiwei thought about it again and again and said, "There is a place I want to take you to see. You will definitely be interested."
The young man tightened his lips and looked at Caiwei in confusion.
The man nodded and said: "It is a secret place and cannot be shared with outsiders. I just want to tell you one person. If you want to know the secrets of the Gods, I can take you to see it."
The secret of the gods?
Gu Liushang frowned slightly, "What secret?"
Caiwei said mysteriously: "I can't say this, I have to take you to see it."
Gu Liushang thought for a moment and finally agreed.
Caiwei took Gu Liushang away from Shuanghua Gate and came to a sea area.
Gu Liushang looked at the unfathomable sea water and asked, "Is this the secret you mentioned?"
Caiwei shook her head and said, "No, the real secret is under the sea."
Passing through the deep blue water, the two reached the bottom of the sea.
What shocked Gu Liushang was that there was a huge palace hidden under the calm sea.
He looked at the jade-carved palace gates and the palace rooms with carved beams and painted beams in front of him.
"What is this place?" Gu Liushang asked.
Caiwei looked at the palace in front of her in trance for a moment and said, "This is the Heavenly Palace, the residence of the gods."
Heavenly Palace?
Gu Liuzhang looked at the palace again and couldn't help but frown, "I have read ancient books and understand the process of the destruction of the gods, but I have never heard that after the destruction of the Heavenly Palace, it sank to the bottom of the sea."
Caiwei said: "That's natural. If the world discovers this place, the only traces left by the Gods will disappear."
History books may not be true, so Gu Liushang acquiesced to Caiwei's words.
"It is hidden here like this. There are monsters and spirits in every sea area. Why can it be hidden until now?" Gu Liushang asked puzzledly.
Caiwei waved her arm, and the palace in front of her immediately disappeared, as if it had never existed.
Gu Liushang was a little surprised. He thought that his cultivation had reached its peak, and it was impossible for him not to be able to see the barriers and illusions.
He tilted his head and looked at Caiwei in surprise, "What's going on?"
Caiwei replied, "Because you are the reincarnation of God Shen Xing, you can see here. In addition, you need me to open the barrier, otherwise, even you won't be able to see it."
It turns out that the factors here can be seen. In addition to the gods themselves, Caiwei also needs to open the barrier.
Gu Liushang's eyes deepened, "Why?"
Caiwei raised her eyes and met Gu Liushang's deep eyes, "Why?"
Gu Liushang said: "You are just the mount of God Shen Xing, not an important figure in the God Clan. Why can you open this place? What are you... hiding?"
There was a trace of nervousness on Caiwei's face, but it disappeared quickly. She said calmly: "What's the reason for this? Before I saw you, I was the last person left by the God Clan, even if I was just a divine beast. But he is also the only person from the God Clan who has survived. This place is blocked by God Shen Xing, and as the only person whom God Shen Xing trusts, I am naturally the one who knows this place."
It was impossible to find any flaws in these words, but Gu Liushang still felt that something was wrong.
He pondered for a moment and asked: "But didn't Lord Shen Xing pass away before the fall of the gods? Why was he able to bury the Heavenly Palace here?"
Caiwei replied: "God Shen Xing is very good at deducing fate. He has been prepared for it and knows everything that will happen later."
A god who was good at deducing fortunes left a closed place for the gods before his death. Was it just to leave evidence of the existence of the gods?
Gu Liushang felt a chill behind his back, as if someone pushed him from behind. The person was as cold as ice, making him shudder.
He turned around, but didn't find any figure. He felt that he was too worried.
Caiwei looked at him and asked, "Azhan, do you want to... go in and take a look?"
For some reason, Gu Liuzhang felt a little hesitant in his heart. He didn't know why he was like this, but there was a voice in his head that kept telling him to go in and have a look, go in and have a look...
The stronger the sound, the more uneasy Gu Liushang felt, and the more he wanted to escape.
Caiwei saw that his expression was a little bad, so she asked, "Azhang, what's wrong with you? Could it be...did you remember something?"
In Caiwei's delighted eyes, Gu Liushang shook his head, "No."
Perhaps it was because the voice in his head had some kind of bewitching ability that Gu Liushang was obviously hesitant, but finally followed Caiwei in.
Passing through the palace gate, Gu Liushang saw stone figures one after another. The stone figures were lifelike, as if living people were frozen in place.
Gu Liushang asked: "What is this?"
Caiwei replied, "These are the gods who didn't have time to escape when the Heavenly Palace fell."
Her answer made Gu Liuzhang even more confused, "I didn't have time to escape, and the Heavenly Palace fell. Then I...can I understand that these people actually died because of the God Shen Xing?"
Caiwei's expression changed slightly, and she seemed to be hesitant, not knowing whether to speak out. In the end, she chose to remain silent.
Gu Liushang didn't understand. If these people died because of the God Shen Xing, was the so-called God Shen Xing good or bad?
While Gu Liuzhang was thinking, Caiwei changed the subject, "Azhang, although I am the mount of Lord Shen Xing and someone whom Lord Shen Xing trusts, I...can't completely guess what Lord Shen Xing is. Intention. Why don't we go and look at something else? Since you are the reincarnation of the Lord Shen Xing, maybe...you might think of something when you see these."
Probably because everything he saw in front of him made Gu Liushang unable to guess, he accepted Caiwei's proposal.
The two of them passed through the palace gates and saw countless stone figures.
Finally, the two walked through a group of palaces and came to the most secluded but tallest one.
Caiwei said: "This is Shenxing Palace, the palace of Shenxing God. Let's go in and have a look?"
Looking at the plaque on the palace gate, the three gilt characters 'Shenxing Palace' have faded slightly under the erosion of the sea water.
For some reason, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, and his heart began to beat wildly.
Gu Liushang put his hand on his heart, guessing in his mind that maybe he was really familiar with this place in his previous life, that's why he reacted like this.
He followed Caiwei into the palace gate, passed through rows of houses, and came to the chamber of God Shen Xing.
Caiwei introduced: "This is where God Shen Xing lives. Ah, would you like to go in and take a look?"
Gu Liushang nodded.
Caiwei pushed open the door, which was not flexible due to long soaking, and all the furnishings in the room fell into Gu Liushang's eyes.
Originally, Gu Liushang thought that he might really remember something when he revisited his old place.
However, the unfamiliar environment in front of him made him think of nothing but one thought, and that was... the life of this Lord Shen Xing must be very simple.
Yes, light.
His room is very simple, with almost no decorations. It is deserted in terms of furnishings and colors, which shows how boring this person's life is.
Gu Liushang's eyes fell on a small pit.
"What is this?" Gu Liushang pointed to the pit. It looked like a small pool, but it seemed too small.
Caiwei replied, "This is the heart-washing pool."
"Heart-washing pool?" Gu Liuzhang repeated.
The man nodded and said: "The heart-washing pool is a place used to wash the original mind. It was built by God Shen Xing himself to cleanse the distracting thoughts and delusions of the world."
Gu Liushang asked: "Even if you are a god, do you still have distracting thoughts and delusions?"
He didn't know what kind of person he was in his previous life, and he couldn't imagine it. He only knew that he was a lofty and aloof god recorded in the book.
Caiwei looked at the small heart-washing pool in trance.
She remembered that time.
In a daze, it seemed as if a ray of light shone on Caiwei's body, and through that light, she saw a familiar figure.
"Caiwei, this is for you." The man was dressed in snow-white clothes, pure and flawless, like the most precious jade in the world.
He always looked dignified, and even his long black hair was meticulously tied up high.
Even though he had a beautiful appearance, he did not look charming at all, but instead gave people a cold and arrogant feeling.
Caiwei lowered her eyes, looked at the person in front of her, and was stunned.
"God?" she murmured.
Lord Shen Xing nodded gently and raised the package in his hand.
Caiwei looked over and quickly caught it with both hands.
But in the next second, all the light disappeared, and the scene in front of him once again turned back to the cold haze buried under the cold sea water.
Gu Liushang looked at her with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong with you?"
At this moment, Caiwei really felt that the young man in front of her was really not Lord Shen Xing. Apart from the same appearance, he and Lord Shen Xing had no resemblance at all.
No, not even the appearance is similar.
Even though it is the same face, it looks completely different because of the different expressions.
Caiwei came back to her senses and said: "It's okay, I just got emotional and thought of God Chen Xing."
She sighed deeply and said, "What did you ask me just now?"
The young man said: "I mean, even a god can have delusions?"
Caiwei shook her head and said: "He doesn't. He soaks in the heart-washing pool for an hour every day without delay, so...he doesn't have all the worldly thoughts. In my heart, he is the only one...only He is the real God.”
Although Caiwei looked proud, Gu Liushang did not agree.
He felt that people without emotions were cold, but fortunately he was not that person.
If I had no delusions and hopes, I would not like Master and would not be able to be with Master.
When he thought of Mu Yichang, he unconsciously began to miss her again.
Gu Liushang touched his heart and felt that his soul had been lost.
Caiwei said: "Although this place has been soaked in sea water, there is probably still a little spiritual energy. Why don't you take a dip here? Maybe it can cleanse your heart."
Gu Liushang shook his head quickly, "No need."
Caiwei's eyes were a little gloomy, and she said: "I also see that you are trapped by love. You like your master so much, don't you want to change something? This way you won't miss your master so much, and you won't be able to sleep at night without thinking about food and tea. Yes, isn’t this bad?”
He couldn't help but shudder when he thought that he might be emotionally weak or not like his master that much.
"No, I don't want to change. It's fine as it is now. Although it's hard for me to miss Master, I feel very happy when I think about seeing Master again." Gu Liushang replied.
Because he has expectations and love in his heart, he is willing to wait, even if the days of waiting are painful, it is also for the sake of future happiness.
Not to mention, he will be worried and afraid, and his feelings for the master will be reduced.
Seeing that he was unwilling, Caiwei didn't force him and just said, "That's all, I have good intentions. If you don't want to, forget it."
Gu Liushang nodded and thanked him.
Caiwei took him around the Tiangong, introducing them to him one by one, and even later introduced the stone figures to Gu Liushang.
Ever since he heard from Caiwei that God Shen Xing had no feelings, he had lost interest in his past, so he seemed to have no interest in anything she said.
Seemingly sensing Gu Liushang's thoughts, Caiwei said, "You seem a little tired, so let's go back. If you want to come here again next time, I'll bring you here."
Gu Liushang hummed, but what he was thinking about was that he never wanted to come here again.
This place always gave Gu Liushang a cold feeling. This feeling was not good at all and was mixed with a faint uneasiness.
Returning to Shuiyue Palace, he only felt that he missed his master even more.
So, he said goodbye to Caiwei and went to Mu Yichang's retreat alone.
Gu Liushang didn't bother, he just stood outside the cave and stared at the stone door in a daze.
For a long time, he stood like this, as if he could see Mu Yichang just like this.
