I saw a large number of servants, guards and disciples of the Gu family in the distance hurriedly walking and looking panicked, some even cried.
Many servants were also hanging up their white silk ribbons with sad faces. Soon, the nearby palaces belonging to Gu Mingzhi’s mother and son, including the other wives and children of Gu Mingzhi’s father, were all white. Dressed in plain clothes, it was a funeral ceremony.
Crying soon swept all directions.
Xin Zhuo glanced around with his spiritual sense and saw a huge mourning hall filled with men and women, old and young, kneeling. Gu Mingzhi, who was already fourteen or fifteen years old, was kneeling behind a pretty woman. The young man's face was full of hesitation, helplessness and fear for the future.
Gu Mingzhi’s father Gu Xu died!
Xin Zhuo originally wanted to go over and take a look, but when he thought of his current status as a second-class guard, he turned around and returned to the house.
......
It started to rain lightly again, pattering on the flowers, plants and trees.
It has been seven days since the funeral of Gu Xuzhi, the third elder of the Gu clan, and peace has returned to the palace complex of the Gu clan.
Xin Zhuo was tasting tea. The spiritual tea in this world was good, very fragrant and mellow. At this time, he glanced outside and put down the tea cup.
"Thump thump thump..."
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Gu Mingzhi walked in alone, with a dull look on his face, and sat on the chair opposite, as usual.
Xin Zhuo looked at his obviously inferior clothes, stood up and saluted: "Young Master!"
Gu Mingzhi reacted and forced a smile: "Uncle, there is no need. So, I came here to say goodbye to you!”
Xin Zhuo said calmly: “Farewell?”
Gu Mingzhi's eyes were red: "My father is dead, and my mother and I have nothing to rely on! I can't even be a son! I don't have the money to support you, I'm sorry, uncle."
Xin Zhuo was silent for three breaths and said softly: "Do you want revenge?"
He didn't ask who the enemy was. As long as the young master spoke, he would take action, no matter who the other party was, and then he was told to leave early.
However, there was a trace of fear in the eyes of young master Gu Mingzhi: "I, I think...but uncle, you have to be careful. The other party is something we cannot afford to offend. They are the Sima family of Black Tiger Star, a giant. , even our ancestors of the Gu clan did not dare to provoke them easily, my father bumped into them..."
Xin Zhuo said in a persuasive way: "It doesn't matter, as long as you speak, I have a high level of cultivation."
Gu Mingzhi shook his head desperately: "No, no, no, uncle, we will all die, please stop talking!"
After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said: "When I grow up in the future, I will take action myself. , the revenge of killing my father is irreconcilable!”
Xin Zhuo sighed, this kid is still in the foundation building realm two years later, and he wants to grow up and kill a master who has surpassed the seventh level of the training realm. How difficult.
Gu Mingzhi suddenly stood up, carefully took out a storage bag from his arms, and handed it over: "Here are a thousand Xuanyuan crystals, which are my only remaining property. The rest will be given to Hua Brother Qi and the others are gone, uncle, you go, they don’t want to see you in the first place, you don’t have to stay!”
Xin Zhuo looked at him silently.
Gu Mingzhi choked and said: "Our Gu family has a strict hierarchy and respects strength. Without strength, there is no status. In fact, my father is not the direct descendant of the ancestor, but just a branch disciple of the ancestor. Because of his good talent, he has done Three elders.
When my father died, the three elders and one house had to be replaced by others. Most of the property left by his old man was divided among his six brothers, sisters and aunt. My mother was the concubine, I was the concubine, and my father inheritance, basically without me For our sakes.
Big brother just drove us to Yanziwu to guard the mine. We can no longer protect the guards and servants. I’m sorry, uncle!”
Xin Zhuo chuckled and pushed back. Storage bag: "You take it back Go, uncle will protect you from now on without any reward!"
Gu Mingzhi was surprised: "How is this possible? As a monk, if you don't have supplies, your life will be ruined. It's not allowed. ”
I'm afraid it will be difficult for the entire Gu clan to supply the supplies I want.
Xin Zhuo asked: "When will you leave?"
Gu Mingzhi's eyes were red again: "Now, my mother is waiting for me outside!"
Xin Zhuo got up and tidied up casually. In fact, there was nothing to tidy up, and then walked out of the hut with Gu Mingzhi.
As expected, there was a woman who looked to be in her mid-twenties and wearing a silk scarf waiting outside. She glanced at Xin Zhuo, a little surprised.
Gu Mingzhi rushed forward happily: "Mom, Uncle Tiger will follow us and protect us!"
The woman sighed, said nothing, and pulled Gu Mingzhi towards the Gu family's gate.
Xin Zhuo followed.
After turning a corner, I saw a crowd of servants and guards in front of me watching the fun, including Brother Hua Qi and others. They lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the mother and son.
In the distance, a richly dressed young man with a sinister face came up to him. He obviously had his eyes high above his head, but he pretended to be sorry and said: "Seventh brother, my father is no longer around, it's not easy at home. You He and Qi Yiniang will settle down there. If you need anything, just let me know.”
The mother and son saluted, but Gu Mingzhi still didn't show any emotion at all, and was even a little moved: "Brother, I understand, thank you, brother."
The young master coughed lightly: "You should, you should, go ahead!" Then stopped Xin Zhuo: "Dahu, right? Why don't you stay with me and serve?"
Gu Mingzhi's mother and son couldn't help but paused. Looking back, there was a trace of panic on their faces, as if... …The only support must also go away.
Xin Zhuo remained silent, just took a detour and followed the mother and son.
The young master was stunned on the spot, and the guard commander Hua Qi, who was on the side, became angry: "If you don't eat the toast, you will have to drink the wine as a fine. You don't want the face given to you by the eldest son. You will have to suffer for following them!"
Sin Zhuo Dun! After a moment, he glanced around, thinking... whether or not to snatch Gu's family away. Seeing that the mother and son were walking away, he had no choice but to give up.
......
Yanziwu is located on the easternmost side of the Capricorn Continent, next to a barren mineral vein. The mineral vein belongs to the Gu family. There are more than 300 miners, and among more than ten Gu family members Under his supervision, he collected a crystal similar to Wuyun Stone.
Many mines were excavated in the early years, forming lakes. Yanziwu is located on a small island in the center of the largest lake. The island is lined with green trees and mountain flowers. There are five cabins on the island. Although the hospital is a bit poor, the environment is quite elegant.
Gu Mingzhi's mother and son and Xin Zhuo have been here for three months. They basically have nothing to do every day. The mother and son are nominally the owners of the mine, but the dozen or so customers don't buy it and are only responsible to the Gu family.
The mother and son had no choice but to mine some ore in person every now and then and take it to a distant market to exchange for some necessities.
Xin Zhuo naturally didn't know how to do anything. He had already explored this mineral vein and found that there was no Origin Crystal or Prime Crystal, so he had to make tea and bask in the sun every day.
He decided to give guidance to the young master Gu Mingzhi and protect him for ten years. After ten years, the kindness will disappear and he can leave. Then he will search the Capricorn Continent and go to other star continents. .
It would be best if there is news about Jiang Dagou and the other three, or about the ancient road of the Immortality Trial.
"Dahu, these are some Xuanyuan Crystals prepared for you. The slave family still doesn't know your cultivation level. Do you think they are suitable for use?"
Gu Ming's mother, Sai Sanniang, came over. She looks very handsome and has a good figure. She can't tell that she has given birth to a child, and she is a little embarrassed. Her cheeks are slightly red, which gives her a unique flavor.
Xin Zhuo took it and said thank you.
Sai Sanniang would leave after saying hello in the past, but she did not leave today. Instead, she sat down aside, thought about it, and said: "Mingzhi has no support, and I am not good at practicing magic. , can you be his master?”
Xin Zhuo said casually: “Forget it, I can give you guidance, Madam, don’t worry.”
Sai Sanniang nodded: "Thank you!"
Xin Zhuo thought for a while and asked: "How much do you know about... Princess Si Yaoyue and the Si family?"
Although already It was certain that Ji Yaoyue was not dead, and it was her that Gu Mingzhi's guards were talking about that day, but neither Gu Mingzhi nor those guards knew much.
This Sai Sanniang has the cultivation level of Shenhai Realm and is also the concubine of a Taoist Realm master. I must have heard something about it?
Sai Sanniang was startled when she heard the words, frowned and said: "I heard my husband mentioned before his death that the Si clan came from the depths of the abyss. They were very domineering and good at using the secret techniques of the stars. They came here specifically to search for Beidou. The star essence of the seven stars is used to refine some kind of power that transcends the beginning of the yuan!
The leader was Princess Si Yaoyue. This princess was as beautiful as a fairy, but she was cruel and murderous. Sword cultivators from the seven major stars and three hundred smaller stars in the Beidou Star Territory came out to barely stop them. But she still sent someone to take away the little star energy that had been gathered for tens of thousands of years! "
Xin Zhuo nodded and understood. This character is Ji Yaoyue!
Sai Sanniang asked curiously: "You also know them? "
Xin Zhuo was about to answer when he couldn't help but look into the distance. He saw a huge ripple in the sky, and a huge chariot slowly flew out of it. The terrifying pressure caused the entire mine to shake violently. Hundreds of miners immediately stopped construction and bowed to salute.
Gu Mingzhi also ran over from a distance and said in surprise: "Auntie, Uncle Dahu, it's the Shi family. It's here. Will you pick us up? My wife..."
Xin Zhuo glanced at Sai Sanniang, who had an ugly face and said: "The Shi family was also a family in the Capricorn Continent before, but later three masters of the ninth level of the Taoist Realm appeared, and they were taken to the main star Tianshu Star. The Sword Sect Award was removed from the Black Tiger Star, and she had a good relationship with the Sima family who killed her husband.
Back then, the fourth master of the Shi family and her husband had been friends for eight years, so they agreed to marry the fourth master of the aristocratic family. My daughter, Shi Chongfei, and my family, Gu Mingzhi.
However, I don’t think it’s a good thing that our mother and son have come to this situation just after my husband died!”
Voice! As soon as it landed, the chariot opened and a group of people stepped out. The leader was a slim girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, but her brows were frowned and her face was ugly.
The mother and son immediately greeted him.
The little girl took a step back: "Let's make a long story short, the engagement is cancelled, sorry!" For a moment, I can keep them as slaves for you, and kill them all on the Black Tiger Star by the way!
Unexpectedly, Gu Mingzhi’s mother and son’s faces turned red and resentful.
Ignoring his mother's pull, Gu Mingzhi took three steps forward: "I dare not answer my father's orders at will. However, you are adding insult to injury and insulting me. Do you dare to make a bet with me? "
The little girl said coldly: "You said, no matter what the bet is, as long as the engagement can be terminated, I, Shi Chongfei, will agree to it!"
Gu Ming insisted: "Ten years, you and I will fight in ten years. If you win, I will destroy the marriage contract to apologize. If you lose, just accept your fate!"
"Hahaha..."
The beloved concubine Shi laughed: "You are only in the foundation-building realm, and I am already an immortal. In the early Yuan Dynasty, there was a difference between you and me. Ten years, okay, the Shi family will hold the Xinghao Conference in ten years, so I will wait for you at the Shi family for ten years."
Xin Zhuoran. I rubbed my brows and said, ten years later, I will just be able to leave. Boy, I can go with you. (End of this chapter)
