"Xu~"
At noon, deep in Peach Mountain, although it is midsummer, the temperature in the mountain is still like warm spring, the mountain flowers are blooming, and the peach forest is abundant.
A burst of delicate and graceful sound of riding a horse, accompanied by the clatter of horse hooves, brought a lively atmosphere to this secluded and leisurely place, startling a few birds in the forest.
The girl in plain clothes held the reins and waited until the horse stopped before turning over and dismounting.
"Just eat some grass nearby and don't run too far."
Guan Qinghan patted the neck of the black-brown snow-hoofed horse, and didn't even bother to tie it. After casually letting go of the reins, he no longer cared about it.
Although this horse was not as good as the rare blood horse from the Western Regions, it was somewhat humane, so she was not worried that the horse would run away on its own.
What's more, it's not certain whether it can escape from this place.
The girl looked around. The place was so full of life. As the Gu King's retreat place, all kinds of souls gathered together. She only needed to turn around a few times and she would completely lose her direction in this gorgeous scenery.
If it weren't for her special status, I'm afraid ordinary people wouldn't be able to find this place.
"Old immortal, get rid of these rags of yours, I have something to do with you!"
Guan Qinghan put her hands on her hips and shouted at the top of her lungs to the people around her. She was so startled that several frightened birds chirped in the forest.
As [The Other Side], apart from being able to reverse the life and death of others once, she has no other effect.
Although she also knew how to find the place where Gu King was retreating, it was too troublesome for her.
It would be better to just call a few words and let the adult pick her up to save trouble.
As soon as the girl finished speaking, the originally layered green trees and vines seemed to have souls, and they automatically divided a flat mountain road for her.
Guan Qinghan snorted, then stepped onto the trail and walked along the mountain road.
After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, the girl walked through the forest and came to a small fenced courtyard.
A stone statue covered with emerald green moss is located in the middle of the small courtyard. The stone statue is mottled and rough, and there are flowers, birds, insects, and fish that are almost blurry to the point of being invisible, and the carvings of worship from all the people...
At this time, it was facing the path, and its stone face full of traces of time seemed to be looking at the girl and smiling.
"You old man, I have to come so far to find you every time. It's so troublesome!"
There was a stone chair in the small courtyard. Guan Qingwan sat down on the stone chair unceremoniously and glared at the ancient stone statues in the yard angrily.
Her chest rose and fell, and she gasped slightly.
Her physical fitness has always been average, and she is no different from an ordinary human girl.
In addition, she had never done any physical work, and she had just climbed such a long mountain road, and her body was a little overwhelmed.
"I'm thinking about the principles of life in the world. I'm thinking, if I can catalyze a kind of immortality Gu, can I find the secret of eternal life?"
The emotion of the stone statue cannot be heard as joy or anger, and does not contain a trace of emotion.
The only thing that can be heard is that his voice is very rich, as if mixed in the years, with a feeling of singing a historical epic...
"I found the remains of the previous Gu King, and the markings on its body have disappeared."
"It died peacefully because its next successor is me."
The human face on the stone statue suddenly became animated, and its gray stone eyes stared at the girl beside it.
"But if I pass away, I am not sure whether the new Gu King can bear the burden of all the people in southern Xinjiang."
"The lackeys of the Daqian royal family have spread all over southern Xinjiang. They are just born and cannot escape..."
Guan Qinghan looked at the mottled stone statue in front of her with cold eyes. Listening to its words, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"I have something to do with you today. I didn't come here specifically to listen to your great talk!"
"Returning Immortality Gu, you, the Gu King, are the ancestor of all Gus and have the power of all Gus in the world. Are there such Gus that you don't know yet?"
Gu King Gu is the first Gu creature born in the land of Southern Border. It is based on wood and stone, which means the root of Southern Border and the source of all Gu.
Like her birth, the stone statue in front of her has been meditating on the way of life and death for many years, and deliberately created a place where life and death intersect, giving birth to her, the other side Gu who can reverse life and death.
Her birth was never an accident, she knew it, it was even clearer.
All things have a destiny, and even the mountains and rivers cannot last forever. It is impossible for things like the Immortality Gu to exist in the world.
From her point of view, the old immortal in front of her is probably really old and confused. How can there be immortality in this world?
"Besides, they can come when they come. Anyway, as long as you are still here, they can't do anything to Southern Xinjiang."
"I'm not the Gu King, so don't talk to me about these silly things!"
After sitting and resting for a while, Guan Qingwan walked up to the stone statue, her face slightly wrinkled.
"I recently brought back a human. You have to take care of him for me after I die. Do you hear me?"
The girl's expression was still bossy, even though she was facing the King of Gu, who was regarded as a god by the people of Southern Border, her tone was still rude.
The stone statue-like Gu King looked dumbfounded at the girl in front of him. Faced with the girl's willful and disrespectful attitude, it grinned without any dissatisfaction in its heart.
[Prince], one of the oldest inheritances in the world, enjoys wealth and honor, and all people are like dumb dogs. From the beginning of their birth, people of this lineage want to stand on the head of everyone.
In the whole world, is it the land of the king? On the shore of the land, is it the ministers of the king? This is not an empty statement.
It has lived for nearly ten thousand years, has gone through six generations of divine dynasties, and has been in power for nearly two thousand years. Its national power is at its peak and its actions are domineering. It is the most powerful [prince] hegemony he has ever seen.
It's just that this [Prince] is too tyrannical, which may not be a good thing...
Because of its existence, the land of Southern Border is different from ordinary people. Even a powerless ordinary person can live and work in peace and contentment in this land of Southern Border without having to worry about man-made disasters coming one day.
And this kind of utopia-like situation is destined to be impossible to realize in the hands of the [Prince].
So it cannot die.
It knows this, and the girl in front of it also knows...
After all, Guan Qingwan, as [Bi'an Gu], has always been aware of the general situation, knowing good and evil, and distinguishing right from wrong.
So the girl never complained about him.
At most, you can just scold it with some old-fashioned words.
From the day it chose to understand the way of life and death and deliberately allowed the girl to be born, these were the things it was born to give back to her.
"His name is Jia Mingan, and he has a little karma from the big devil. You have to help him solve it for me."
The girl put her hands on Liu's waist and stared at the stone statue of Gu King in front of her seriously.
"I don't care about anyone in the world. If you keep him safe for me and spend this life happily, there will be no debt between you and me."
"Don't worry, I won't run away."
"After all, Southern Xinjiang can live without an unruly and willful little princess, but it cannot live without a patron saint who protects Southern Xinjiang."
Guan Qingwan shook her head slightly, and then continued to look at the stone statue of Gu King in front of her.
"Right now, I just want him to be well..."
“…”
"But he doesn't seem like a good person..."
The Gu King was silent for a moment, just slightly stunned, and found the human boy the girl mentioned in the capital not far away.
Since it also possesses the ability of [The Other Side Gu], it can tell what kind of human being the young man named Jia Mingan is with just one glance.
"What are you afraid of, you old fool? Isn't he just a little bit unscrupulous, trying too hard, telling lies, and being shameless?"
The girl's eyebrows stood up, and she viciously kicked the stone statue of the Gu King in front of her that was beginning to pretend to be mute.
"I don't care about anything else. Anyway, since he met me, I will let him live in this life..."
"Happiness and peace!"
