The Heartless Mage Chapter 75: A dream

When Master Gu walked into Wenxian's house, he encountered a small Taoist priest standing outside the east wing, answering with Wuxin in the room. The door was locked because he was afraid that outsiders would rashly break in.

The little Taoist looked like he was wearing a very decent attire. Taking time out of his busy schedule, he saluted Master Gu, and at the same time he heard the question in the room, "Why didn't your master come back?"

The little Taoist replied confidently: "The master said, he is so scared."

Then the voice in the room changed: "Master Gu?"

Master Gu stood in the yard, took off his military cap and wiped his sweat: "Ah, it's me."

Wuxin said: "Master Gu, come in."

Master Gu opened the lock on the door and sneaked into the room. After a while, he slipped out and handed a letter to the little Taoist priest: "The letter he sent to your master must be delivered."

The little Taoist priest immediately took the letter and put it in his arms: "Okay, I'll catch the train back to Beijing in the afternoon, and I'll be able to see the master in the evening."

After dismissing the little Taoist priest, Master Gu returned to the east wing. Wuxin lay on the bed with her bare buttocks and one shoulder to hang out. Originally, her bones were exposed, but after a day and a night of recuperation, a pink fleshy membrane had grown on the bones. Master Gu was very busy, and the army chief of Chang'an County decided to surrender to the old commander, so he surrendered with great reservations. And as the plenipotentiary representative of the old coach, of course, he can't hide and ignore things.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he bent down and took off his riding boots with great effort. There was a large yellow paper on the bed with a mess of cinnabar painted on it. Said to be unintentional must be useful. As a result, after he led his troops up the mountain, he realized that Wuxin had accomplished it all by himself.

The weather is hot, and Mr. Gu has been running around in big horse boots for a long time. Now that his big feet have seen the cool air, it is indescribable how comfortable he is. Consciously, he stretched his feet away, and he lay down beside Wuxin. Baring his teeth and grinning, he stretched his waist, and he yawned again.

"How is it?" He asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Wuxin slowly folded the yellow paper and stuffed it into a large envelope: "It's much better, it's okay."

Master Gu put his arms on his back, turned his head and smiled at him: "Tell me, what's going on? After I brought you back yesterday, I haven't found time to talk to you."

Wuxin lay down on her side, facing Master Gu and said, "I dragged Yue Qiluo into the ghost cave, I escaped, and she stayed."

Master Gu blinked: "No, didn't you say you can't kill her?"

Wanxin asked: "Master Gu, do you remember the last time we passed through the ghost cave last winter? At that time, there were soldiers from Ding Datou who came to hunt us down, and we escaped from Zhuzui Town to Zhutou Mountain."

Master Gu thought for a while, then nodded: "Remember, Crescent Moon and I squatted on the tree for a long time, watching the gang of soldiers go down one after another, and almost none of them came up. It's not that there is another scam. Is it a corpse? Let you catch it and burn it. After burning it, you jumped into the hole. Crescent Moon and I were in the tree too late to stop you, so we were so anxious that we both descended the tree and cursed..."

Wuxin did not follow Master Gu's words to recall the past, but asked again: "Guess why I entered the cave at that time?"

Master Gu shook his head: "Speak up!"

Wuxin turned over and faced the ceiling: "Many people died that night, but I found that the inside and outside of the cave were clean, with no corpses and no souls. It can be seen..."

Master Gu understands a little: "There is a place where there is entry and no exit. Even if she has the ability to reincarnate, it is useless to not be free, right?"

Wuxin nodded: "That's right. Although I don't know what the reason is, the cave has indeed absorbed many unjust souls, which is very strange and terrifying. So, I wrote a letter to Chenzi. letter.”

Master Gu looked at him: "Why do you write to Lao Dao?"

Unintentionally sighed: "Let Laodao take care of the aftermath! Maybe he can block the entrance of the cave forever, and build a tower above it to hold it down—he's not completely in vain, he should know more than me. Let him think about it. Go ahead and do it, I don't care about the future."

Master Gu followed with a sigh: "Yes, I don't care. Both legs are gone, so I'm working hard enough."

The voice fell, Wuxin did not respond. The room was silent, and the courtyard was silent. Wuxin looked out through the glass window and could see the half-opened kitchen door.

Master Gu is not what it used to be. He doesn't have time to guard Wuxin every day, but he can't let outsiders see the truth. He ordered the guards to guard the gate of the courtyard firmly. He brought the day's meals into the room every morning, and the toilet was placed beside the bed. Then he locked the door of the house, leaving Wuxin alone in the house. Wuxin sat on the bed and stared blankly at the west wing opposite. After seeing enough, he looked at the kitchen diagonally ahead. There is also a long-handled iron spoon on the stove in the kitchen, which is often used by Crescent Moon. It was placed there the night before going to Zhuzui Town, and no one has touched it since.

After dark, Master Gu usually returns with a hot meal and hot dishes. Wuxin always had an amazing appetite when he was growing up. Master Gu stood against the wall with a cigarette in his mouth. Watching him bury his head and chew while holding a sea bowl, he couldn't help but think of the days in Tianjin. At that time, he and Crescent Moon were trembling with hope, and day by day they transformed a monster into a human form. A heart suddenly softened inconceivably, and he said without hesitation: "Don't worry about your face all day long. When you are fully grown, I will find you a daughter-in-law. I have money and power, don't say you look good, Even if you grow into a dog's head and toad eyes, I can still get you a big yellow girl!"

Wuxin smiled at Haiwan: "What if she finds out that something is wrong with me in the future?"

Master Gu sneered arrogantly: "What should I do? Keep going, if you dare to make trouble, you will be beaten to death! There are still eunuchs, you are not better than eunuchs? It's okay, don't worry, if something goes wrong, I'll take care of you. Call the shots! If she dares to refuse, I will burn her family!"

When I heard this, I found that Master Gu's bad spirit was coming up again. It's fine if Master Gu doesn't get ahead. Once he gets ahead, he will surely commit a lot of sins in the future. Wuxin has never liked bad people, but towards Master Gu, he just feels helpless.

Master Gu's idea, of course, is a bad idea. If you don't want to listen to it for fun, forget it. Everyone has their own marriage life and death, and he can't rob someone else's crescent just because he lost his crescent.

Master Gu packed up the tableware, and because he was lazy, he went to bed with the smell of sweat. The toilet was still at the end of the bed, and he told Wuxin: "If you want to pee at night, just push me. Push hard and I will fall asleep."

Unfolding a quilt and lying down, he turned off the light, and said again in the dark, "Master, really, as long as one lives, one has to look forward. The crescent moon is gone, and I feel bad in my heart. What's the use? She can't live even if she is uncomfortable! Crescent Moon told me to take care of you when she was leaving. I will always remember this. I can't lie to anyone if I lie to her. Now that my revenge has been avenged, you have nothing to worry about. , just follow me in the future. You should see that with my skills and ambition, I am definitely not a character lying on the ground, and it will definitely not be a problem to support one of you."

Wuxin smiled without saying a word. Of course he believed in Master Gu's promise, but unfortunately, no matter how good Master Gu was, it was not Crescent Moon. In the future, Master Gu will have wives, concubines, children and daughters. It doesn't take long. As long as ten or twenty years pass, Master Gu will not be able to explain his existence to his relatives.

There are too many flaws in him, like, he won't get old.

"Master Gu." He suddenly said: "Do you know why I don't do business as a businessman and focus on ghosts and gods to earn food?"

Master Gu immediately replied: "I think you are a lazy bastard, and you have no intention of making progress!"

Wuxin continued: "I just want people to fear me and stay away from me."

Master Gu glanced at him in the hazy night: "Don't talk nonsense, just go to sleep."

Wuxin said again: "Since Yu'er died, no one has treated me kindly. I didn't expect to meet Crescent Moon and you at the same time. In the past 100 years, my luck is really good."

There was a sadness in Master Gu's heart, and he immediately turned his back to Wuxin: "It's okay, it's okay, it's terrifying to hear you speak."

Wunxin stopped talking, and quietly took out the photo of him and Crescent Moon from his arms. Put the photo in front of Master Gu's head, the three of them are still together.

A month later, Wuxin returned to her human form.

On a bright May morning, he changed into a neat and thin trousers and said that he was going to Qingyun Watch to see the dust. Chuchenzi had recently returned from Beijing, and seemed to have followed Wuxin's advice in the letter, and really went to Zhutou Mountain to repair the pagoda.

Sir Gu slept late with sleepy eyes, unkempt hair, shirtless eyes and squinting eyes. Sitting on the bed, he scratched his thighs and asked, "Go to Qingyun Temple? Okay, let the pony drive you there!"

Then he stretched out of bed, wanting to go to the hut. Unexpectedly, Wuxin stood at the door and blocked his way.

Master Gu stopped scratching his thighs and touched the green beard stubble on his chin instead. Wuxin looked at him steadily, he was inexplicable, and also looked at Wuxin. Wuxin's eyes are especially black, dark and deep, and they want to imprint and absorb his shadow.

Master Gu met his eyes for a long time, and gradually woke up. He couldn't help raising his hand to rub the mucus from the corner of his eyes: "What are you looking at? Aren't you going to leave?"

Inadvertently withdrew his gaze and suddenly opened his arms to embrace him. Arms tightly wrapped around his naked upper body, Master Gu was caught off guard, and was almost strangled by him, and was a little embarrassed: "Hey, hey, what are you doing? Don't get in the way in the morning, I'm still urinating! "

Inadvertently, he raised his hand and ruffled his greasy short hair, then let go and took a step back.

Looking at Master Gu as if he couldn't see enough, he smiled and said, "Maybe you will be staying in Qingyunguan for a few days. You are at home alone, so take care."

Master Gu waved his hand in disapproval: "Go away! Come back after staying for three or five days. We may be going back to Tianjin next week."

In the cool morning breeze, Wuxin nodded and smiled at Master Gu, then turned and walked towards the courtyard gate.

Five days later, Master Gu sent Xiaoma to Qingyun Temple to pick up Wuxin, but Xiaoma came back in an empty car, stood in front of him and said, "The Taoist priest of the Guanli said that Master Wuxin is only there. I stayed in Guanli for one night and left the mountain four days ago."

Master Gu heard this, and for some reason, a layer of hair stood up all over his body. Casting aside the net, he began to look for Wuxin everywhere, but after searching for it for half a month, he found nothing.

Master Gu sat alone in the yard, staring at the scorching sun in a daze. Suddenly a cold war broke out. He suspected that he had had a big dream for a year. There was a crescent moon in the dream, and there was an unintentional one. Now, wake up.

Master Gu met Wuxin again ten years later.

At that time, he had changed his name to Gu Qingxuan, which was half-vulgar and half-elegant, just in line with his increasingly high status. People are not good for a thousand days, and flowers are not red for a hundred days. Because of his tyranny and greed, he was finally ousted from power by his enemies united after his forty full life.

Master Gu was able to think freely and did not worry. After stepping down, he lived in the Tianjin Concession and led a large family to continue living a prosperous life. On a sunny afternoon, he took his two sons to the department store. Both sons were very similar to him. They were the age of children and the size of a teenager. The awkward ones were disobedient and pulled him all the way. Staggered. He used to be a tall guy, but now he is blessed again, standing on the street like a huge tumbler, holding his son one by one, cursing in anger. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly seemed to catch a glimpse of something. He turned back suddenly, and vaguely saw a familiar back. Just as they were about to take a closer look, the two sons started arguing again: "Dad, take us to eat ice cream, or we won't leave!"

Master Gu turned to his two sons sweating profusely: "I ate your mother! If you make trouble again, you two boys will be torn apart and fed to the eagle!"

The eldest son is not afraid of him, and continues to cheat: "It's okay if you don't eat, you give me ten yuan, and I will eat it myself!"

Master Gu turned his head again and thought, "Who did I see?"

He didn't know who he was seeing, so under the coercion of his two sons, he moved on like a mountain.

Wuxin stood on the corner of the street and looked at the back of Master Gu across the crowd.

Master Gu is old and fat, and has a bit of an old man's meaning. After reading the bad news about Mr. Gu from the newspaper, he couldn't rest assured, so he came to Tianjin specially to take a peek at him.

Fortunately, although Mr. Gu has suffered setbacks in his career, he is full of energy, and he does not look depressed. Master Gu's son is also very good, he seems to be alive and kicking, maybe he will be more promising than Master Gu when he grows up.

Turn your back to the direction of Master Gu, and walk along the road unintentionally. The sun was shining on his face, and in the golden hallucination, he saw the young Master Gu smoking in the small courtyard and looking at the sky, while Crescent Moon was wearing an apron and walked out of the kitchen. .

Blushing cheeks and bright eyes. She smiled so beautifully, a flower that never withered in his memory.
