I thought in my heart that the attitudes shown by Xiao Chushi and Chen Wugen were full of fear towards Wanling Mountain. Looking at this place, it was indeed full of dangers, a place where there is no return.
I became more and more curious in my heart. I must go here and find my father. I can't let him be stuck there and sit and watch. I made up my mind to let Xiao Chushi tell the exact location of Wanling Mountain tonight.
The bustle outside the window, I retracted my mind, stretched my body, and together with Huaxue, went to the town to stroll around, this town full of Taoist atmosphere, there are many kinds of snacks, mostly named after gossip, yin and yang. snack.
I ate a few snacks with Huaxue, and suddenly saw a group of Taoist priests approaching. Judging from the dressing of the Taoist priests, they are Taoists from the ancient Sanqing family. It seems that they have received an invitation from the Tianshi's Mansion to participate in the ceremony of Zhang Xuanchong's succession to Zhang Tianshi.
I was standing by the side of the road with Huaxue, but two of the ancient Taoist priests recognized us, most of them expressionless, and could not see whether they hated us or not. The team walked aside and saw a Taoist priest wearing a hat and black gauze suddenly stopped and stood beside me and Huaxue.
I hurriedly stretched out my hand to protect Huaxue, and said, "Gu family, what do you want to do?" I stared at the Taoist priest with wide eyes, but he couldn't see his true face clearly.
The Taoist priest bowed his hands and said: "I am an ancient god, I have no intentions. See you standing on the side of the road and greet you specially." After a pause, he shouted: "Master, your old man is still in the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Nearby, whether we also want to participate in their ceremony, we can go together."
I was relieved, it turned out to be ancient Tongshen. He almost died at the hands of Chen Wugen, and the blood on his body almost shed light. During his life and death, he used a stone to press on his body. Xiao Feng and I rescued Gu Tongshen in the process of searching for Huaxue.
At the moment, Gu Tongshen's energy to speak has recovered a lot, and it seems that he has completely recovered in a month. If the ancient Tongshen walks in the core of the ancient family's ranks, it will be a person of status in the ancient family.
I was overjoyed and asked, "Gu Tongshen, are you the Patriarch of the Gu family now?"
Gu Tong Shendao: "Yes, I am now the Patriarch of the Ancient Family."
Huaxue thought for a while, and said: "This road is full of people, it is not convenient to talk. Let's find a quieter place and say a few words. You can arrange it."
Gu Tongshen was overjoyed and quickly ordered his men to find a simple teahouse in a secluded alley. The ancient Taoist priest stood by the door, and we talked inside.
Gu Tongshen took off the hat, revealing a face that looked a bit ferocious. At the beginning, he resolutely stepped forward and took Huaxue away. He was accused by Gu Ze as betraying the ancestors and the ancient family. After his death, he had no face to face the ancestors of the ancient family, so Gu Tongshen destroyed his face and took Huaxue away.
Now his face is covered with scars from scratching with his claws.
Gutong Shendao: "Master, do you have anything to tell me?"
Huaxue said: "Gu Patriarch, thank you for taking me away before. The person who injured you and took me away is Mei Zixu. His real name is Chen Wugen. Next time you see him, be careful. Now you are the Gu family. Patriarch, there is no need to call me Master in front of everyone."
"Chen Wugen, I remember this name! Master, I have gone through life and death and ups and downs from the ancient Tongshen, from the lowest point to the highest point of the ancient family." Gu Tongshen said, "I can see exactly what this era is like. Chu, there are too many things in the cold world. I have never complained about anything. You are my master, and I will always admit that."
Gu Tongshen was an arrogant person before. After Dou Chong lost to Huaxue, he became Huaxue's apprentice. Some time ago we were in the ancient house. Gu Tongshen was particularly concerned about the safety of Huaxue. After the last change, Gu Tongshen went from voluntarily abandoning his identity to the ancient family and leaving the ancient family to being seriously injured and returning to the ancient family to become the head of the ancient family.
Unexpectedly, just over a month later, the realm of Gu Tongshen today is very different from before. He has matured a lot and calmed down a lot.
Huaxue said: "Gu Patriarch, I hope we are better friends. You lost the title of "Centipede Family" to Huaxue before, and I will return it to you now. I believe that under your leadership, the Gu family will always be more expansive. The sky. The title of Centipede Family, you can take it home."
Gu Tongshen smiled and said: "In my opinion, these are false names! Talent is the most important thing! Master, the title of centipede family is very important to the ancient family, and to me, it has no value at all!"
I said: "Gu Patriarch, Huaxue is the master, she said you can use this title, you can accept it with peace of mind, don't say so much. You are the Patriarch, take this title back, the tribe will be more convinced of you ."
Gu Tongshen hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay, then I will accept it."
Hua Xue said: "There is one more thing you remember. The new Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master Mansion will be in power, and there will be some internal struggles. You should not participate in it. As for their ceremony, we will not participate. We just left a few days ago. The Heavenly Master’s Mansion. You have to pay attention to a person named Zhang Kecheng, don’t be dragged into the water by him."
Gu Tongshen was taken aback for a moment, and said: "Master, you are the head of the Hua family, are they very rude to you?"
Huaxue smiled and said: "My matter, you don't need to force yourself up for me, don't mention it again! There is one more thing, I want to warn you. There is no wind and no rain today, why do you want to bring a hat and hang black? Where's the yarn?"
Gu Tongshen was taken aback again, and said: "I can recover from a serious injury, but the scars on my face will never be healed. When people see my weird face, they all talk about it, and some people will laugh in their hearts. Me! This is the only way."
Hua Xue said: "Gu Patriarch, why do you care about the opinions of passers-by? Do you want to spend the rest of your life wearing a hat? You have to understand that the most difficult thing for a person is to reconcile with oneself, to pass the barrier of oneself. Because you feel that it is embarrassing to ruin your appearance, you are afraid of other people’s arguments. Therefore, after you separate from me, I hope you take off your hat and you have to reconcile with yourself. The damage on the skin cannot harm you. The cultivation of the spiritual realm."
Gu Tongshen fell into contemplation. After a long time, he knelt on the ground with a thump, reached out his hand, took off the hat, and threw it on the ground, saying: "Master taught that the disciple is too narrow-minded and has never experienced this. One level. You’re right, I’m upright, it doesn’t matter what I look like. I am a cultivator, how can I change my style of doing things because of a skin."
I stepped up to help Gu Tongshen and said: "Gu Patriarch, you really are a hero! This is no one can match!"
Huaxue smiled and said: "Gu Patriarch, you call me Master, I feel ashamed!" Looking at me and said: "Xiao Kang, you go outside and wait for me for a while. I have some experience in centipede surgery, before you combine it with you Tell me the contents of the "Chong Jing", I have some experience recently, I want to communicate with the Gu Patriarch."
I understood what Huaxue meant, and nodded and said: "Then I'll go outside and wait for you." Huaxue wanted to teach ancient Tongshen. Huaxue and Ancient Tongshen have the name of master and apprentice. This time the preaching was puzzled by karma, they have the reality of master and apprentice, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the responsibility of the master.
I walked out, and the ancient Taoist priests stood upright one by one, looking at me vigilantly, their eyes were not very friendly. But the whole process did not speak to me. I waited at the door for almost two hours and found a chair to sit on.
There were intermittent voices, mostly Huaxue conveying her experience in centipede art. Gu Tongshen would occasionally ask questions, and then Huaxue patiently answered them. Two hours later, Huaxue and Gu Tongshen walked out.
All the disciples were a little surprised when they saw that the ancient Tongshen had removed the hats, their eyes became cheerful and confident, and their eyes became more friendly when they saw us.
Gutong Shendao: "Master, I have had a lot of confusion in my heart for a long time. Your teaching today gave me the enlightenment, and I really feel like it. Thank you, Master..."
Huaxue said: "Gu Patriarch, the meeting between you and me today is the destiny of fate. To have this conversation, I have also learned a lot. After separation today, there may be no chance to meet again. The rivers and lakes are far away, I hope you can take care of it. Let's say goodbye. Live it!"
Gu Tongshen trembled and said, "Is there no chance to meet again in the future?"
Hua Xue said: "Maybe you can't see it, maybe you can see it. This is something arranged by heaven. Don't care about it and feel sad. The two of us started from fighting insects. We can shake hands and make peace today, and we will separate with a smile. This is a magical thing. If you can meet again in the future, then you will meet. If you can't meet, then you won't see. There is no need to worry about gains and losses."
Gu Tongshen clasped his fists, looked at me and Huaxue, and said: "The two will get married in the future, please send an invitation to Gujia Town, no matter how far away I go, I will come." His eyes were extremely sincere.
Hua Xue said: "Okay!"
After separating from Gu Tongshen, Huaxue couldn't help but sighed: "I didn't expect that the apprentice who hit by mistake by mistake was a man of love and righteousness. My uncle Hua Wanli, who was originally my relative, was a victim of me. People. Things in this world are really unpredictable."
I said: "We live on the ground, not in the sky. We can't see the whole situation, so we feel unpredictable. The world is full of sorrow and joy. We live before sorrow and joy. Don't try to figure out the unpredictable things. , We should strive to be happy."
Huaxue nodded and said, "Xiao Kang, what we are going to do next, don't hide it in your heart and don't tell me!"
I said, "Next, we will go back to Miaojiang. I'm going to Wanling Mountain to find my father. If it goes well, you will see my father."
