Chapter 520 The Disappearing Gu Xu
“Are you tired again?”
After a long time, Zhao Yan tilted her head and asked Gu Xu beside her with a smile.
At this time, the two of them were lying on the large and soft bed hugging each other. Gu Xu lay on his back, leaning against the pillow, while Zhao Yan's head rested on his chest. Although the storm was over, their blood was still as hot as lava, and their legs were tightly entangled, unwilling to be separated.
“Aren’t you having fun yet?” Gu Xu asked with a smile.
His hand slowly reached towards Zhao Yan's shoulder, stroking her back as smooth and delicate as white silk.
Zhao Yan seemed to have forgotten her previous arrogance and closed her eyes, like a docile cat, enjoying the caress from her neck to her back.
“Do you even need to ask?” She snorted softly.
"But you just said that you were going to die, and that all the blood in your body was going to flow backwards and spurt out..."
"You heard wrong."

"..."
Gu Xu turned his head and glanced at the moonlight in front of the window, and his expression became serious.
"Xiao Zeyao is secretly making small moves again," he said seriously, "Let's go to bed early and save some energy to deal with him."
"The one who needs to rest is' You', not 'us'." Zhao Yan corrected, emphasizing the word "you".
But she is not ignorant.
She propped herself up with her arms, kissed Gu Xu lightly on the corner of his lips, and whispered softly:
"Have a sweet dream, my master."
Gu Xu was obedient. Close your eyes.
Zhao Yan smiled and looked at his face quietly. In the deep night, the silver moonlight outlined his tall nose and beautiful outline.
“You are so popular.”
As she was thinking, the look in Shangguan Jin's eyes towards Gu Xu earlier appeared in her mind.
It seems cold, but in fact it is resentful, and there is also a bit of sadness hidden in it that is difficult to detect.
There is obviously a story between the two.
Zhao Yan and Shangguan Jin are not very familiar with each other, but they have some connections - when she was looking for people to challenge in Luo Jing City, Shangguan Jin was once one of her "gun grinding stones".
Although Shangguan Jin looks innocent and harmless, he always calls her "Sister Zhao" politely.
Zhao Yan knew very well that Luochuan's right-hand man was a woman with deep scheming and cunning like a fox. She had used a small plan to let Chu Fengge work at the Luojing Exorcism Department headquarters with just a few words. There was a big embarrassment before.
Because of this, when she saw Shangguan Jin seemed to have something wrong with Gu Xu today, Zhao Yan immediately felt alert.
In order to become a couple with Gu Xu, she waited for thousands of years in reincarnation after reincarnation. She would never allow her husband to be snatched away by monsters and monsters that suddenly appeared, especially a scheming vixen like Shangguan Jin.
The candle on the bedside flickered for a moment, and was finally lost in the night.
Zhao Yan hugged her husband tighter.
She buried her face in his shoulder, closed her eyes, and indulged in the warmth of his body, feeling the breath of his skin. Deep down in her heart, she even longed for time to stop at this moment forever, so that they could lean on each other and never be separated.
After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes.
At this time, she was surprised to find that Gu Xu in her arms had disappeared at some point - what she was holding tightly was just a blanket with lingering warmth.
She sat up suddenly, frowned, and her eyes were extremely solemn.
She first took out a talisman from the bedside drawer - this was the "barrier-breaking talisman" that Gu Xu personally drew for her, which could help her get rid of illusions and keep her heart clear.
But when the talisman paper was completely reduced to ashes in the bright flames, Gu Xu did not reappear on the bed.
This proves that everything in front of you is not an illusion.
Gu Xu indeed mysteriously disappeared from her side.
Even the cyan robe he threw on the ground casually before was also missing.
It’s like the harsh winter is coming and the north wind is howling.
A strong chill rose in Zhao Yan's heart.
She remembered that thousands of years ago, in the endless wilderness, the Master's figure became lighter and fainter in her arms, like a light smoke blown away by the wind, never to return. She remembered that she had sent Gu Xu away at Jingu Pier, and that he had experienced a narrow escape from death, but she had unknowingly forgotten his existence.
Gu Xu's disappearance was the thing she feared most and was least willing to face in her previous life.
It was as if the earth suddenly collapsed under her feet, and she was plunged into an endless fog.
"With Gu Xu's character, he would never leave without saying goodbye for no reason," she thought silently, trying to keep herself calm, "He must have encountered some troublesome things that are difficult to solve, and maybe he has mentioned them frequently recently.
"I have to find a way to help him, and I must not lose my balance. ”
Zhao Yan cast a spell to wipe her body clean, then picked up the bellyband, underwear and red skirt that were thrown on the ground, and quickly put them on.
Her first reaction , to find Luo Chuan.
Luo Chuan masters the art of divination, and in recent times, he always drags Gu Xu to discuss things in secret in a small room whenever he has time.
Zhao Yan had been secretly sulking about this before, feeling that Luo Chuan was always robbing her of the alone time with Gu Xu and did not trust her enough.
But when Gu Xu disappeared, if you wanted to ask who was most likely to know where he had gone, the first answer that came to Zhao Yan's mind was Luo Chuan.
Only now, Luochuan is not in Liangzhou City. If nothing else, he should have gone to Luojing to work as an undercover agent deep in the enemy's territory.
Zhao Yan pondered for a moment, and finally walked along the long corridor to the courtyard next door, and gently knocked on the old innermost door.
"Ma'am, what do you want from me?"
Shangguan Jin opened the door, looked at Zhao Yan who came unexpectedly, and said expressionlessly.
At this time, she did not apply makeup on her face and was only wearing a single piece of clothing. Her voice was like a frozen lake in the middle of winter, without any ripples of emotion.
"Gu Xu is missing, I need your help." Zhao Yan said sincerely with serious eyes.
Shangguan Jin pursed his lips slightly, lowered his head, and thought for a while.
Then she sighed softly and said in a slightly softer tone: "Come in."
…………
At this moment.
Gu Xu holds the astrolabe in his hand and is in the silent alley of Yishui County.
Under the moonlight, the old buildings around and the moss-marked bluestone pavement underfoot all glowed palely.
From where Gu Xu is, looking up, he can see the cornices of the Exorcist Department's Yamen in the distance - like the claws of a ferocious beast, it casts a ferocious and twisting silhouette on the night curtain.
"I came here alone as you requested, without any helpers," he looked straight ahead and said calmly, "Now, can you release all the hostages?"
After a brief silence , layers of ripples rippled in the shadows ahead, and then a figure wearing simple cloth and a black iron mask appeared.
“I heard that Emperor Ziwei not only has the ability to understand the world, but also has a compassionate heart,” the visitor laughed, his voice hoarse and unpleasant, “When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation.”
His hands are empty.
But in Gu Xu's field of vision, his fingertips were entangled with countless thin black threads, like dense spider webs, exuding strange black smoke.
Gu Xu knew that this was a cursed thread, a special kind of causal thread.
One end is held in the hand of "Xiao Zeyao".
The other end points to all the residents of Yishui County -
Including the Liang Xiucai family who once lived next door to Gu Xu, including the aunt selling barbecue next to Caishi Street, including the family on Xunliu Street A group of buskers with their own magical powers, including the candied haws hawker...
And more old, weak, women, children, and innocent civilians.
"You are very smart," Emperor Tianxing's ghost body paused, then continued, "The moment he saw me, he guessed that I might use the people around you to deal with you, so I sent all your old friends and colleagues to Move away.
“If you were just an ordinary monk, it would be really difficult for me to find a way to solve you except for confronting you head-on.
"It's a pity that you intend to become a god in the wild world - you have taken God's incense, have God's vision, and plan to take on God's responsibilities.
"In this way, All living beings in the wilderness are your weaknesses. ”
