Xie Zhiyao did not return to the Xie Mansion, and went directly to Kunlun with Lu Er in his arms. When he left, he sent a letter to Lin Rufei. In the letter, he roughly stated that Lu Er was seriously injured and in urgent need of medical treatment.
After Lin Rufei received the letter from Zhi He, she was a little surprised and turned to look at Gu Xuandu: "How did you know that something happened to Lu Er?"
Gu Xuandu said: "An ancient beast is made of gold, its shape is human-like, and its bones are so strong that it can shatter ten thousand blades."
Lin Rufei was stunned.
Gu Xuandu said again: "Because of its characteristics, the golden beasts were hunted and killed by the human race, and they almost wiped out the clan. Fortunately, they looked like humans. After learning human habits, they hid in the market and barely maintained the blood of the race." He sighed. He said, "This is just a few hundred years ago. Now that so long has passed, the golden beast is almost extinct. I didn't expect to see one in Xie's house." He saw Xie Zhi Yaoyao. At the moment of the side bone sword, he guessed everything.
Lin Rufei also understood the meaning of Gu Xuandu's words. The little servant's green ear was a strange beast, and the bone sword in Xie Zhiyao's hand came from his body.
"The most precious thing in the body of the golden beast is the spine that runs through the whole body. This bone does not need to be tempered. It can be used as a sword when it is pulled out. The blade has the same sharpness, which can break stars and break mountains." Gu Xuan was careless. Speaking of other people's stories, "If Xie Zhiyao didn't have that sword, he would have died."
Lin Rufei said, "Then Green Ear has no spine, can she still survive?"
Gu Xuandu stared at Lin Rufei's eyes: "Of course not."
Lin Rufei felt her throat choked, he remembered the tenderness in Xie Zhiyao's eyes when he talked about Lu Er, maybe he didn't even notice it, but now that the Xie family's ups and downs have just settled down, Lu Er yet...
"I don't know what method the people over there used to hang Lu Er's life, but that little servant can't live for long." Gu Xuandu said, "Even if the best doctor in the world is invited, it can't save him. life." No living thing can survive without a spine.
Lin Rufei said, "What should Xie Zhiyao do?"
"What should I do?" Gu Xuandu said flatly, "He got the position of the head of the family that he wanted the most, and he has the cultivation base of the eight realms, but he just lost a stinky servant. A desirable business?"
Lin Rufei frowned slightly when she heard Gu Xuandu's emotionless words.
"Don't you think so?" Gu Xuandu asked back.
"Naturally I don't think so." Lin Rufei disagreed, "Lu Er has been with Xie Zhiyao for so many years, Xie Zhiyao must have some affection for him, and seeing Lu Er disappear like this, he was afraid in his heart. Not good."
Gu Xuandu's attitude was unusually indifferent. He didn't sit beside Lin Rufei as usual, but leaned on the roof beam, folded his arms, looked down at Lin Rufei with his chin slightly raised, and asked calmly: " What would you do if you were green-eared?"
Lin Rufei thought about it and said, "If I had green ears..."
"Enough." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted coldly by Gu Xuandu. From Gu Xuandu to Lin Rufei's side, this senior who had never been serious has never shown such indifference or even coldness. look, he said, "I know how you would choose."
The words fell, and the figure disappeared suddenly, leaving the room silent.
Lin Rufei was at a loss, not understanding why these words touched Gu Xuandu's back.
Without Gu Xuandu, the quietness of the room made people feel a little uncomfortable. After realizing her thoughts, Lin Rufei showed a wry smile. The Taoist people are really greedy animals. The existence of Xuandu.

Xie Zhiyao arrived at Kunlun day and night.
Wan Yao picked up Zhihe before, knowing that Xie Zhiyao was coming, he stayed in front of the mountain gate early to greet him.
"Put the person down quickly." After seeing the green ear, Wan Yao instructed Xie Zhiyao to put the person on the prepared wooden bed, and raised his hand to feel the pulse for the green ear.
Xie Zhiyao stood aside, not daring to let out the air, his eyes fixed on Lu Er, and his chest kept heaving.
Wan Yao found out about Lu Er's physical condition, and his expression gradually became solemn. He took out a few silver needles from his arms and stuck them on Lu Er's body. The green ear's face improved slightly, but the breath was still very weak.
"Go outside and talk?" Wan Yao said.
Xie Zhiyao nodded and was about to take a step, when he heard a faint cry from Lu Er, he said, "Master... don't... go..."
Xie Zhiyao leaned over and whispered: "Don't be afraid, you also know Wan Yao's medical skills, he must have a way to save you."
However, Lu Er shook his head and said with difficulty: "Just... let's talk here." Others are dying, but he is very clear in his heart. It is naturally the best to see the young master more.
"Okay, tell me." Xie Zhiyao held Lu Er's hand and looked up at Wan Yao.
Wan Yao hesitated for a while, and seeing Xie Zhiyao's expression was firm, he sighed slightly and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid Lu Er is... not good."
Xie Zhiyao instantly became hideous, and he said, "What did you say?!"
Wan Yao said: "His spine was pulled out alive. It's a miracle that he can survive until now. If acupuncture is applied to him, it will probably last for another day, but..."
Xie Zhiyao said, "Just?"
Wan Yao said: "It's just... He will be extremely painful."
The wound on his back could not heal, causing Lu Er to be in extreme pain every moment. Even he was so weak that he could only lie on his stomach and couldn't even turn over, otherwise he would touch the wound.
After Xie Zhiyao listened to Wan Yao's words, his Adam's apple moved up and down, as if he was suppressing some kind of emotion. Lu Er sensed his thoughts, and the hand he was holding pulled back slightly, and forced a smile: "It's okay... I can stay with you again. One day with the young master is enough."
Xie Zhiyao didn't speak. He understood everything completely. He lowered his head and stared at the unstoppable white bone sword hanging from his waist for a long time. In his black eyes, a manic storm was quietly brewing.
With a weak call, Lu Er pulled Xie Zhiyao out of this emotion, and he responded to his call: "Green Er."
The green ear looked tame: "The green ear is here."
Xie Zhiyao said, "Who did it?"
Green was silent.
"Tell me, who did it." Xie Zhiyao asked word by word, "Who pulled out your spine alive? Who is it?"
Lu Er calmly looked back at Xie Zhiyao, his lips moved with difficulty, and gave Xie Zhiyao an answer he didn't want to hear: "It was made by Lu Er."
Xie Zhiyao trembled all over.
"It was made by Lu Er himself." Lu Er said, "No wonder who..."
Xie Zhiyao let out a desperate roar, like a trapped beast driven to a desperate situation. He wanted to hug Lu Er, but he was afraid of hurting him. In the end, he could only kneel beside the bed, holding Lu Er Yue Yue. The increasingly cold hands couldn't stop kissing, he said, "Green Ear, why...why..."
Lu Er said: "Lu Er just doesn't want to, others will bully the young master again." It was probably Wan Yaoshi's acupuncture that worked, and he had the strength to speak again. Lu Er looked at Xie Zhiyao, his eyes bright as if he was in the sky Xingchen, he said, "Young master, don't envy that Lin Rufei, there are some people who hurt the young master, and the green ear hurts the young master the most."
Xie Zhiyao was speechless, until a wet liquid dripped on the back of his hand, he realized that he was crying.
Where did Lu Er see Xie Zhiyao's appearance, he was a little flustered, and hurriedly said young master not to cry.
Xie Zhiyao said: "Yes, you love me, but when you leave, who will love me."
Lu Er said: "Young master became the head of the Xie family, and many people like it." He murmured, "When the young master gets married and has children, he will no longer need Lu Er... It's just a pity..."
Xie Zhiyao showed despair.
Wan Yao said that there is no cure for green ear medicine, and he has no other way.
When Lu Er gained some strength, he started talking again, scolding Xie Zhiyao's father, Xie Zhiyao's brother, and all Xie family members, except Xie Zhiyao, the young master. Xie Zhiyao listened and watched in a daze, as if his soul had come out of his body.
Until Green Ear seemed to say that he was tired, his voice gradually weakened.
Xie Zhiyao said suddenly, "Lu Er, why didn't you ask?"
Green Ear said blankly, "Huh?"
Xie Zhiyao said, "You haven't always wanted to know if I like you, why didn't you ask?"
Green-eared lips squirmed slightly, and the sound was as soft as a mosquito: "I... don't want to know."
"Why, why don't you want to know?" Xie Zhiyao said in a trembling voice.
"Because the young master will definitely pity me." Lu Er said, "I don't want the young master to pity me." He stared at his wet black eyes like an innocent deer, "I... I just want the young master to like me." He said After saying this, he lowered his eyes a little embarrassedly.
Xie Zhiyao completely collapsed.
He shook his shoulders, covered his face in pain, sobbed and lost his voice. It was the first time he hated himself so much, hated himself for being so hesitant, hated himself for forcibly entering the room, hated himself for not giving the answer that Lu Er wanted.
Seeing Xie Zhiyao's painful appearance, Lu Er was at a loss. He wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say to make his young master feel better, so he could only grab Xie Zhiyao's hand in a panic and coax him not to cry.
Xie Zhiyao was two years older than Lu Er, and they met when Xie Zhiyao was three years old, and spent more than 20 years together. Xie Zhiyao's mother died early, and he, who was not favored in the Xie family, was only accompanied by such a nasty little servant.
No one in Xie's house likes Xie Zhiyao, and no one likes Lu Er.
Fortunately, Lu Er didn't mind, as long as the young master liked him, it was enough. This kind of love, the servant began to change quality at some point, and it was not until Xie Zhiyao encountered danger that it started a prairie fire like a little spark.
Lu Er knew that his time was short, and the only thing he wanted was to get the word "like" from the young master's mouth, not to show pity for the dying person, but just pure love.
But unfortunately, he didn't get his wish.
Lu Er should have some regrets, but seeing Xie Zhiyao's desperate appearance, that regret has turned into worry for the young master. His death was something that was prepared for a long time, but he didn't want to let the past The calm Xie Zhiyao was in so much pain.
"Green ear, green ear..." Xie Zhi Yao said, "You ask me, you ask me again, you ask, ask."
Lu Er was frightened by the appearance of Xie Zhi Yao, and whispered: "Okay, good... Young master, do you like Lu Er?"
"Yes, I like green ears." Xie Zhiyao sobbed, word by word, "Xie Zhiyao, I like green ears the most."
Green Ear smiled.
Xie Zhiyao said: "He likes you so much, how can you let him be sad, Lu Er..."
Lu Er touched Xie Zhiyao's head as if he was coaxing a child, and whispered, "It's okay, I'm not always with the young master, I am with the young master."
Xie Zhiyao cried again.
Wan Yao outside the house heard Xie Zhiyao's cries and sighed deeply.
There are seven hardships in life, birth, old age, sickness and death, separation of love, reunion of hatred and hatred, unable to ask for anything, as long as you are still on the road, it will be difficult to escape the torture.
Xie Zhiyao and Lu'er, he can be considered to have grown up watching him grow up. At this time, seeing the two of them parting and dying, he is naturally a little embarrassed.
Physicians are benevolent, but they can do things, but they are too few and too few.
"Something must have happened to the Xie Mansion." Lin Bianyu appeared beside Wan Yao at an unknown time, looking at the wooden house behind Wan Yao where Xie Zhi's demon wailing was heard, and said in a low voice, "I don't know Xiao Jiu. How is it now?"
Wan Yao said: "Xie Zhiyao has reached the eighth level of cultivation."
Lin Bianyu was surprised.
Wan Yao is an old man, so naturally he knows the rules of the Xie Mansion, but Lin Bianyu and the others are still young and don't quite understand these things, so he explained: "The Xie family is just fighting, so it shouldn't be bad for Xiao Jiu. After saying that, he told Lin Bianyu the rules of the Xie family. After hearing this, Lin Bianyu showed some pity, and he didn't know if he was pity for the Xie family or for the dying Green Ear.
In the Xie Mansion, Gu Xuan was still sulking with Lin Rufei, and he was not seen for a whole day.
Lin Rufei didn't know how to coax him, but after thinking about it, she put on her cape and went out to the street alone. After a few laps, she found an old man who was selling flowers.
The old man was selling gorgeous flowers like peony, so Lin Rufei asked if there were peach blossoms for sale nearby.
The old man smiled and said that there are peach forests everywhere, why buy peach blossoms, as long as you leave this Moyu City, you can see a peach blossom forest within two miles to the east. But the rain last night, I am afraid that the peach blossoms were beaten to pieces.
When Lin Rufei got the news, she walked out of the city slowly and leisurely. When she left the city, she did not forget to buy a bright red candied haws at the stall, and went to Taolin while nibbling on it.
There are mountain roads outside Moyu City. It rained again last night, and it was slightly muddy. Fortunately, the weather is good today. Although the mountain wind is strong, it will not be too cold.
Walking through the winding path, Lin Rufei quickly saw the peach forest in the mouth of the old man. It's just that the peach forest here is only a small piece, far from the broad and beautiful under the Kunlun Mountains. The peach color was also a little lighter. Lin Rufei looked left and right. Seeing that there was no one, she quietly leaned in one, used both hands and feet, climbed up, and stretched out her hand to pick off a bunch of peach blossoms.
Unexpectedly, the foot on the tree slipped and rolled down from the tree together with the person and the flower. Lin Rufei let out a cry, and felt that she was firmly caught by both hands.
"Are you going to throw yourself to death?" Gu Xuan gritted his teeth.
Lin Rufei looked at him innocently, and handed the peach blossom in front of him: "Mum."
Gu Xuandu said coldly, "No."
Lin Rufei blinked, then reached out to cover her mouth and coughed forcefully.
Gu Xuandu: "..."
Lin Rufei glanced at Gu Xuandu while coughing, the careful senior still couldn't stand his endless coughing, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, just give it to me, don't cough, take care to give your lungs to me. Cough out."
Lin Rufei stopped coughing immediately, and happily clapped the mud on her hands, saying that this peach blossom is not as good as the one on Kunlun Mountain.
Gu Xuandu said: "Really."
Lin Rufei said, "Of course, the best one has to be the one in my yard."
Gu Xuandu heard the words, but his expression softened a lot.
Although Lin Rufei didn't understand why Gu Xuandu was angry, she felt relieved when she saw that he put the matter down, and touched the rough bark of the peach tree, saying she didn't know what happened to Xie Zhiyao.
"He will be back soon." Gu Xuandu said casually, "Lu Er won't live too long."
Lin Rufei sighed.
When talking about green ear, the atmosphere was not very good. Lin Rufei had to change the subject and said that the candied haws just eaten tasted good, but Gu Xuandu blamed him for coughing so badly that he dared to eat candy.
"It's alright, alright." Lin Rufei waved her hand, "I'm used to coughing, and I won't die." After that, there was another series of coughs.
After enjoying the flowers for a while, the two went down the mountain.
Night is approaching, and the lights in Moyu City are also lit up. On the streets of Qingshi, there are hawkers shouting loudly, residents bargaining, and tourists who have just arrived in the city by looking around. The world is very lively.
The battle for the Xie residence to be the head of the family has already settled, and the suffocating atmosphere of the past few days has disappeared.
When Lin Rufei went back, she saw several carriages parked in front of the Xie's house, and when she stepped forward to ask, she realized that several stewards who had been away from the house for half a month had just returned. They obviously knew the rules of the Xie family, so they chose this one. It was time to go out for refuge, and now that Xie Zhiyao had won the title of Patriarch, they also returned and began to prepare to accept the matter of the new Patriarch.
This was quite efficient, but for some reason, Lin Rufei felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
It was Fu Hua's words that made him understand why he was uncomfortable. Fu Hua said, "This Xie Mansion is really weird. It seems that so many people have died and they are all insignificant."
Yurui said: "Yes, if you die, you will die, and you will drag it to bury it casually. There is not even a tomb... By the way, Sister Fuhua, that Xie Ji's head..."
Fuhua glanced at Yurui expressionlessly, and Yurui's neck shrank when she saw it before she replied, "Xie Zhiyao took it."
Yurui said, "Buried?"
Fu Hua said, "It's on fire."
Yurui: "..." She didn't dare to ask Xie Wanlin what happened to the pile of ashes.
The two looked angrily, and neither wanted to talk about it any more.
Lin Rufei was sitting in the courtyard, watching the servants coming and going, and the Xie family who seemed to be reviving, with a lot of emotion in her heart. The person who was supposed to celebrate the victory was now on the Kunlun Mountains, thinking about it...he was in grief.
That night, Lin Rufei received a letter from Lin Bianyu. The letter said that he saw Xie Zhiyao and the dying green ear. Xie Zhiyao almost collapsed after learning that the green ear medicine stone had no cure. What drastic thing would be done, and asked Lin Rufei how well it was at this time, and whether it was affected in any way.
Lin Rufei replied to the letter, saying that the Xie family treated her politely and did not go overboard, and did not tell Lin Bianyu about Xie Wanlin.
After all, if Lin Bianyu really knew, he would rush to chop up Xie Zhiyao in a fit of anger. Lin Rufei was very clear about her elder brother's protective temperament.
After replying to the letter, Lin Rufei took another dose of cough medicine and planned to rest early. Gu Xuandu looked at the peach blossoms in the porcelain vase on the table, wondering what he was thinking.
"Senior Gu, I'm going to bed first, what about you." Lin Rufei asked in a muffled voice, covering half of her face with a cup, revealing only a pair of pale eyes.
Gu Xuandu said expressionlessly, "Go out to hunt ghosts."
Lin Rufei said, "To catch ghosts?"
Gu Xuan nodded.
Lin Rufei instantly became bright, and sat up with a swoosh, "Where are you going to catch it, are there really ghosts in this world?"
Gu Xuandu said, "What do you think?"
Lin Rufei said, "I believe it, but I haven't seen it before." He thought for a while, and said tentatively, "No one else can see Senior Xuandu, so you..."
Gu Xuandu looked back expressionlessly.
Lin Rufei scolded: "It's just a joke, it's just a joke, senior don't take it seriously."
Gu Xuandu said: "You are much more lively than on the mountain."
Lin Rufei said helplessly: "The brothers on the mountain are watching very closely. If you go to see the little flowers in the snow, you will be told a few words. In order to prevent me from catching a cold, they even give all the little flowers that came out of the snow with great difficulty. I tore..."
Hearing this, Gu Xuandu coughed unnaturally, looked away and said calmly, "You take care of your illness, and when you are healed, I will take you to hunt ghosts with you."
Lin Rufei: "Really?"
Gu Xuandu: "Really."
Lin Rufei shrunk back into the quilt again, wrapping herself tightly, and showing her eyes outside, her well-behaved appearance made Gu Xuan tick the corners of his mouth unconsciously.
The blanket was warm and drowsy, Lin Rufei quickly fell asleep, her eyes slowly closed, and her breathing became even. Seeing that he was asleep, Gu Xuan waved his long sleeves, faded away, and disappeared into the room.
Lin Rufei slept well this night. When she woke up the next day, her cough was much better. When she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Xuandu sitting in the room, eating the morning tea brought by Floating Flowers.
Lin Rufei yawned, rubbed her eyes, got up from the bed, and slowly began to change her clothes.
Gu Xuandu watched from the side, and seeing that his injured right hand was not very flexible, he got up and took the clothes on the bed, and put them on for Lin Rufei very naturally.
Lin Rufei slept in a daze, and only realized what Gu Xuandu was doing when she felt her waist tighten. He wanted to turn around in a conditioned reflex, but Gu Xuandu said not to move, and helped him put the belt around his waist. Carefully handle it before letting go.
The two looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
"What?" Gu Xuandu sat back at the table and said, "This expression?"
Lin Rufei said, "This... this, it's not appropriate for my senior to change clothes for me, isn't it?"
Gu Xuandu said lightly: "If you don't think it's appropriate."
Lin Rufei: "Huh?"
Gu Xuandu said seriously: "I can take it off and let you put it on for me again, is it appropriate?"
Lin Rufei immediately shut up and went to wash up quietly.
Seeing him like this, Gu Xuan laughed, grabbed the steaming mung bean cake and put it in his mouth, then frowned in dissatisfaction.
"Why, this mung bean cake doesn't suit Senior's taste?" Lin Rufei asked casually.
"It's too sweet." Gu Xuandu said, "It doesn't taste as good as my love... My friend makes it delicious."
Lin Rufei was about to speak, but Gu Xuandu looked up outside the house and said softly, "Your friend is back."
Xie Zhiyao came back, and returned to the beaming Xie family with the green ear who was struggling to die in his arms.
The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: sulking, cold war.
Lin Rufei: Kekekekekekekekeke
Gu Xuandu: …
Lin Rufei: Kekekekekekekeke-
Gu Xuan gritted his teeth: You did it on purpose, right
Lin Rufei blinked.
Gu Xuandu: Forget it...
