Chapter two hundred and sixty-eight You are in trouble
"What are you talking about? He went to the backyard?" Gu Yingjie's face changed drastically when he heard the people below reported him. "Didn't I let you watch and not allow anyone to go to the backyard?"
"But...but..." The warrior who came to report was a little embarrassed, but he swallowed his words. He couldn't say it was Gu Yingjie's fault, because he was always right.
of.
"What's the matter?" Murong Longteng looked strange, "Is there something invisible hidden in the backyard of the Gu family's ancestral house?"
Gu Yingjie's face darkened and he quickly explained: "It's nothing. My father used to live in the backyard. He just wanted to maintain the environment of the backyard, so no one was allowed in."
"Oh." Murong Longteng nodded, "Then go and have a look. I can just watch here."
"Thank you." Gu Yingjie nodded and left in a hurry.
The Gu family's backyard is not as gorgeous as the front yard, but it looks quiet and unique. It's like walking into a farmer's house. There is a well in the yard, and a piece of land has been cultivated beside the well. Some vegetables are grown in the land. Next to the land,
, there are some flowers and plants planted, which look full of vitality and are obviously taken care of regularly.
Not far from the room, there is a pavilion made of melon and fruit vines. There is a stone table and four stone benches in the pavilion. There is a teapot on the stone table, and there are several overturned cups around the teapot.
Lu Changsheng originally thought that if he came here happily, he would feel bored and would leave soon, but he didn't expect that she would just stand there blankly, motionless.
"What's wrong?" Lu Changsheng walked over quickly, thinking something had happened.
"I miss home." Gaoxing suddenly turned around expressionlessly and said, "I remember that Anu also grew vegetables and flowers in my previous place."
Lu Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then comforted him: "When your uncle comes back, can't I take you back?"
"But, uncle said, I may never go back here again." Gaoxing lowered his head and played with his fingers.
"Do you still remember where that place is?" Lu Changsheng asked.
"I don't remember." He Gaoxing shook his head, "I was asleep when my uncle took me out. When I woke up, I was already outside."
"Okay." Lu Changsheng was a little helpless. According to Gao Xing's description, the Iron Demon King must have lived in an isolated place before, so Gao Xing didn't understand many things.
As for why the Iron Demon King brought out his happiness, Lu Changsheng didn't know. Maybe it was because his innate Taoist body was about to mature.
But no matter what, Lu Changsheng doesn't want to be happy to be the final furnace by the Iron Demon King, but he has no choice now but can only comfort him: "Don't worry, there will be many opportunities to go back in the future."
"Really?" Gao Xing didn't believe it, "Can you find that place?"
"I don't know, but when your uncle comes back, I can help you ask him." Lu Changsheng said with a smile, "Let's go, the excitement will start soon, there is nothing to see here."
With a "squeak" sound, the door suddenly opened. Lu Changsheng was startled, and immediately turned around, his face became alert, and an old man walked out of the door.
He was dressed simply and energetic, holding a flower watering device in his hand. He walked to the ancient well and without even looking at Lu Changsheng, he shook the well rope and drew water.
She was also stunned. She was about to say hello, but was blocked by Lu Changsheng because the old man's appearance was too sudden, as if he appeared out of thin air.
Before coming in, Lu Changsheng's mind scanned the place and he didn't find anyone in the backyard at all. But now that a person suddenly appeared, Lu Changsheng was naturally surprised. He didn't believe that his mind would overlook anything. Ever since he learned to carve, when he released his mind, he
Not even an ant could escape the detection of his thoughts, let alone such a big living person.
The old man in front of him felt very unreal to him. Lu Changsheng swept it away with his mind and his face turned extremely ugly: "Who is your Excellency?"
If possible, he just wants to stay away from this old man now, because his mind can't even see the existence of this old man. It's like he doesn't exist at all, but he can be clearly seen with the naked eye, and he has
There is no trace of Qi Refiner at all. To the naked eye, he looks like an old servant of the Gu family.
The old man didn't answer, as if he hadn't heard anything. He continued to shake the well rope, and soon a bucket of water was brought up by him. The water was clean and clear.
The old man poured water into the flower waterer, then walked to the ground and watered the vegetables and flowers inside.
"Let's go!" Lu Changsheng took Gao Xing's hand and walked out the door.
The old man did not stop him and just continued to water his flowers. But when Lu Changsheng walked to the door, the old man suddenly sighed and said: "You are in trouble!"
Lu Changsheng's footsteps paused. If it had been any other time, he would have thought that these words were not meant for him, but except for being happy, there was no one else here.
"Who are you from the Gu family?" Lu Changsheng stopped and turned around to ask.
The old man put down the flower waterer without looking at him. He walked to the well and took out a towel to wet it. He washed his face, then sat down at the pavilion in the yard and said, "Sit."
He didn't even look at Lu Changsheng, as if he was talking to himself, but Lu Changsheng walked over and sat opposite the old man.
"My troubles come from you?" Lu Changsheng asked. He couldn't figure out the old man in front of him. He might be some kind of outsider.
The old man shook his head. His eyes were bright and bright on his wrinkled face. When he looked at Lu Changsheng, he felt naked, as if he was not wearing any clothes.
, the whole body was exposed to the old man’s eyes.
"Soul Refiner!" Lu Changsheng stood up in shock, with all his thoughts ready to take action.
However, the old man was very calm: "Can you play chess?"
"No." Lu Changsheng shook his head, but he couldn't calm down in his heart, because the old man in front of him was definitely a master, and a master of soul refining, not a master of qi refining.
You must know that the information he got is that the soul refiner died a year ago, and he has personally experienced the horror of reincarnation. It is extremely difficult to pass through the gate of hell, let alone enter.
The gate of hell has erased the past and present lives on the Three Lives Stone.
"Soul Refiner, haha, what an ancient title." The old man said as if he had just heard Lu Changsheng's words, "Little guy, you are so boring. When you came to me, you first asked me who I was. This sentence should be
It’s only right that I ask you.”
Lu Changsheng's heart sank. If he had known that such an old man existed in the Gu family, he would never have come here.
Although he couldn't feel the murderous intent in this old man, Lu Changsheng felt that he was more terrifying than the Iron Demon King. Just because Lu Changsheng couldn't feel the murderous intent or any aura on his body, Lu Changsheng couldn't judge at all.
What exactly does he want to do?
"Then do you want to ask me who I am?" Lu Changsheng asked warily.
"Your difficulties come from yourself." The old man said with a smile.
"..." Lu Changsheng was speechless.
The old man's answer was wrong. Lu Changsheng told him east, but he said west. Lu Changsheng asked him south, but the old man answered him north.
If it had been anyone else, Lu Changsheng would have turned around and left. Unfortunately, he couldn't see through the old man in front of him, and he didn't know what the consequences would be if he left.
But he was already prepared. As soon as the old man made a move against him, he would pull out the killing sword on his back, because besides the killing sword, Lu Changsheng didn't know what else could deal with the man in front of him.
"The Gu family is really stingy. They finally let someone in. Why do they let in a boring guy like you?"
The old man suddenly spoke and turned to look at Gao Xing with a smile on his face, "Little girl, can you play chess?"
"Yes, yes, hehe." Gao Gao had already suppressed it. If Lu Changsheng hadn't been so nervous, she wouldn't have held back and said nothing. Now when asked, how could she hold back, "I'll accompany you." Are you good at chess?"
"Oh, okay, okay." The old man nodded, flicked his sleeves, and the tea set on the table flew out. Just when people thought that someone dropped the tea set to pieces, they saw that when it was about to fall to the ground, the tea set was like As if being held back by something, it fell lightly to the ground, neatly and without even a sound.
"Gudong" Lu Changsheng swallowed. He actually didn't see the old man using his Qi, and he also didn't feel the old man's thoughts. However, the tea set ran from the stone table to the ground intact.
The most incredible thing was that there were utensils on the table where there were no utensils. Under Lu Changsheng's nose, he didn't know how the old man did it.
"Little girl, do you want black or white?" the old man asked with a smile.
"I like Heizi." Gao Xing was not surprised at all by what happened just now, as if it should be the way it should be.
"Haha, I like Heizi too," the old man said, but the black chess board on the table moved next to Gao Xing.
Gao Gao obviously likes playing chess, so when he saw the chess arena, he couldn't help but pick up the chess pieces and dropped one on the chess board without thinking at all.
Just when Lu Changsheng was doubting whether he would be happy, the old man frowned, thought for a moment, then picked up the chess piece and dropped it.
The two of them were going back and forth, completely ignoring Lu Changsheng at the side. However, Lu Changsheng was not without gains, because he discovered that Gao Xing was not only good at playing chess, but also a master.
This is not because he knows how to play chess, but because every time Gao Xing makes a move, the old man frowns. And as time goes by, the old man frowns more and more, but Gao Xing still has that warm smile on his face. She There is no need to think about it when playing chess. Whenever the old man makes a move, she will follow closely.
For this reason, Lu Changsheng also used Taoist scriptures to deduce a game and learned Go. When he just watched the chess game, he found that the old man had been forced to have no way out, no matter where his next move went. If you are in a good position, you can eat him to death if you are happy.
The old man took the chess piece and frowned and began to think deeply. Gao Gao was not in a hurry and just waited calmly.
"Well!" The old man frowned and suddenly said, "Boy, your enemy is here."
