Obviously, after Jiang Yichen carried Huo Nan on his back to the Yuzhou Alley of Jinzhou City mentioned by Yingfo, he was unable to find a miraculous doctor who could rejuvenate him, let alone a miraculous medicine that could bring him back to life.
What we have here is just a home.
A place that can be called home to Huo Nan according to Shadow Buddha.
Home, a place with family can be called home.
In the past twenty years, Huo Nan has had hundreds of faces, but only two main identities.
One is the leader of the Tushita Gang, Smiling Maitreya, and the other is the storyteller in Jinzhou City, Mr. Tinglan. The identity of Mr. Tinglan has been shared with Gu Lian for ten years.
When it comes to who in the world is most involved in Huo Nan's daily life and who can best bring the feeling of life and the warmth of home to Huo Nan, Gu Lian is the only one.
Compared to the cold and deserted residence next to the Huo family ruins in Jinzhou City, of course, the place where Gu Lian lives can be considered home.
Therefore, under Jiang Yichen's questioning, Yingfo, who had promised Huo Nan to take her back to Jinzhou City, suddenly changed his mind and decided to go against Huo Nan's wishes and let Jiang Yichen bring her to this home to spend the last days.
time.
This is also the first time in the past 20 years that Shadow Buddha has made suggestions for Huo Nan as an elder.
As an uncle, Shadow Buddha doesn't want his niece to spend everything to avenge the family, only to die alone with no one to accompany her.
Here, there is Gu Lian, Youkong Yihen, him, Jiang Yichen and Leng Mei.
There is no shortage of juniors and elders. I think Huo Nan will not feel lonely before the deadline comes.
…
…
Huo Nan was in coma for a full day and night before she woke up.
During this period, Jiang Yichen did not eat any food or salt, only drank a few water, and just stayed there.
If Gu Lian hadn't found him dirty and kicked him out of the room because he wanted to clean Huo Nan's body, Jiang Yichen would have stayed there until Huo Nan opened his eyes.
It was also during this period that Jiang Yichen learned from Yingfo's mouth the general story of how Gu Lian was placed here, and the reason why Huo Nan was in the current situation.
It turns out that Gu Lian was "forced" to move and had a lot to do with Jiang Yichen.
Because Jiang Yichen secretly taught Jiang Yichen, who returned to Xishan Island two years ago and is bent on revenge, how to break the evil gate of the earth, the mantle of "Master Tinglan" is no longer free from the world, spotless, and no longer flawless or impeccable.
In view of the unavoidable traveling around in the plan for the next six months, it is difficult to find time to go to Jinzhou City to deal with temptations from all sides and maintain the existence of "Master Tinglan". As early as half a year ago, Huo Nan arranged for Gu Lian to move out with Kong Yihen
Jinju Fortress.
The "Tinglan Master" who had been famous in Jinzhou for ten years disappeared from public view.
The houses in the east and west areas of Yuzhou Lane in Jinzhou City were bought by Huo Nan for Gu Lian many years ago.
It is provided to three honest families who keep their mouths shut for free, and they will only be given a 1% settlement fee to move out if necessary.
Gu Lian came to Jinzhou City more than three months ago. After getting familiar with it for a while, he started his teaching career, so he didn't seem out of place in the eyes of others.
Naturally, it would be difficult for others to associate an unknown female teacher with Mr. Tinglan, who had disappeared from Jinzhou City for half a year.
Gu Lian can naturally settle down here.
The reason why Huo Nan settled Gu Lian in Jinzhou City was the same as General Niu Ke and Lian Niu chose to retire here.
In Zhongzhou, except for those remote and remote areas, Jinzhou City should be the last place where war can reach it.
If the war reaches Jinzhou City, then at least 70% to 80% of Zhongzhou will have fallen into the hands of foreigners.
And even if Jinzhou City is finally captured, those bandits will not be stupid enough to massacre the city and destroy the foundation of the geomantic treasure land that they have already captured.
In other words, after Huo Nan's death, no matter what the future holds for Zhongzhou, at least Gu Lian will not have to worry about his life.
As for why Huo Nan was thinking about Gu Lian's future so early, it was like arranging funeral arrangements in advance.
The reason is very simple. As early as when Huo Nan, who was in Du Zhu, chose to step into the grotto and rely on the tantric formation to exchange Yangshou for the supreme cultivation root, he could no longer look back.
And the "Bath of Fire and Burning Heaven Technique" greatly accelerated the consumption of Huo Nan's life span.
It is rumored that the "Burning Heaven Technique" was created by the Demon Lord Huoyun more than a hundred years ago.
In the beginning, it was just a superior fire-based internal skill that was extremely aggressive and destructive.
The Fire Cloud Demon had a perverse temperament, did not like to make friends, and made too many enemies, which eventually led to a group of righteous people to attack him.
The Fire Cloud Demon's two fists were unable to defeat his four hands, and he was injured and escaped into the deep valley and dense forest.
Some righteous people gave up on this, but there were still a dozen masters who refused to give up and wanted to eradicate the root cause.
The Fire Cloud Demon was hiding in various places and could not bear to be disturbed. He actually spent a month under extremely difficult conditions to find the ultimate state of this fire-based technique.
By relying on the fusion of one's own Qi and blood, one can forcibly exert a lethality several times greater than before!
That is using oneself as a matchmaker in the true sense to burn the sky and burn the earth!
The Fire Cloud Devil single-handedly dragged those dozen righteous masters to hell together!
The secrets of the magical skills he realized were said to be carved on the wall of a cave before the final battle, just to pass them on to those who were destined to do so.
Thinking about it, the Fire Cloud Demon may be extremely pleased that a hundred years later, his magical power is still there and he can still amaze the world.
At the beginning, Huo Nan chose the "Fire and Burning Heaven Technique" among the dozens of fire-based exercises just for double protection.
The first level of protection is that if Huo Nan is not Yu Tian's rival when he meets Yu Tian again, then Huo Nan can use this skill to set fire to the sky and perish together with Yu Tian.
The second level of protection is that if Yu Tianyuan is not as good as Huo Nan, then Huo Nan can easily control his life or death.
It can make Yu Tian lose face when he falls from a high platform in front of thousands of people, let Yu Tian feel the despair of waiting for death, and let Yu Tian taste the pain of disappearing and no longer exist!
Huo Nan made his own choice and walked his own path.
Jiang Yichen could no longer change this result and could only accept it slowly.
He and Leng Mei found a hotel room in the city and booked a room. Except for sleeping at night, they almost never left Aunt Huo's side.
…
…
It was the seventh day after Yu Tian died.
The sixth day after Huo Nan woke up.
Three more unfamiliar figures appeared in Yuzhou Alley.
The neighbors subconsciously concluded that they were here to see Mr. Gu Lian and his family, just like the previous few people.
Just depending on the situation, these people are no longer relatives of Mr. Gu Lian, but more like people who have come to collect debts.
At least one of the beautiful women, who was so charming in her movements, looked very unkind.
However, before this beautiful woman approached Mr. Gu Lian's residence, she was stopped by a good-looking couple.
The beautiful woman is a ghostly enchantress.
As soon as he heard that Jiang Yichen had appeared in Youjing and was running towards Jinzhou City with a crazy expression, the ghostly enchantress came all night and night.
Saw the appearance of Gu Xinhun and Su Shou.
The ghostly enchantress instinctively felt that something bad was coming from them.
Normally, the ghostly enchantress might have wanted to chat with them in a pleasant manner.
But the Yilai Gang has been experiencing serious internal strife recently.
Duo Mingze was so questioned that he couldn't bear it anymore and left the temples.
Shanshi wrote a letter confessing his betrayal. Although it did not directly cause any casualties among his sect members, it did induce conflicts within the gang and caused irreparable losses. He was embarrassed to see the two gang leaders and other sect members again. He resigned from his position in the gang and would no longer be in the gang.
Show up.
In addition to the chaos in the court, the various temples were also affected to a certain extent, and the ghostly enchantress had no time to take care of other matters.
It's just that the matter of revenge for the romantic son is stuck in her throat. After hearing the news about Jiang Yichen, she couldn't sleep or eat well until she came.
Then I asked Tantai Mingyang to continue to work for a while, and when she comes back, we can work together to rectify the gang.
Now, she hasn't even seen Jiang Yichen in person, but she has met someone who wants to mess with her.
She was so angry that she had murderous intent in her eyes!
Seeing this, Lone Heart Soul advised: "Ghost Gang Leader, please be patient. It's not a good time to start a big fight here."
The ghostly enchantress glanced around and saw a crowd of people walking around. Seeing the tense situation here, they all wisely stayed close to the wall or took a detour.
As for the eyes that lingered on her appearance and figure, they were frightened by the murderous look just now, and no longer dared to look directly at her.
The ghostly enchantress said harshly: "You want to meddle in other people's business?"
Gu Xinhun said: "Is the ghost gang leader coming to take Jiang Yichen's life?"
Although few people know about the sibling relationship between the romantic and the ghostly enchantress, almost everyone knows that the ghostly enchantress chased and killed the killer Ye Xiao twice but failed, which is enough to conclude that there is a great hatred between the two.
The ghostly enchantress didn't want to explain the reason, so she just said: "Yes."
Gu Xinhun said: "The ghost gang leader doesn't want to say it, thinking that this hatred cannot be resolved, and there is no one who can be a peacemaker."
The ghostly enchantress does not deny it.
Gu Xinhun said: "Then let me make it clear. Jiang Yichen's life is guaranteed by Gu!"
The ghostly enchantress smiled instead of getting angry and asked: "Then do you represent yourself or the Hongchen Inn?"
Gu Xinhun said: "It represents myself and also the Wuxiang Sect."
The ghostly enchantress was stunned when she heard the words: "Wuxianmen?"
It took quite a while for the ghostly enchantress to search her mind for some memories related to the Wuxiang Sect.
He looked at Gu Xinhun with a more scrutinizing look and asked, "Are you Gu Su..."
Gu Xinhun added the last word and said: "Che."
Although the Wuxiang Sect was a member of the Kyushu Sworn Alliance at that time, its number was too small and it was located in a corner. It was almost equivalent to having a false title in the Kyushu Four Seas Alliance to avoid war. The temples were even more closely related to the Wuxiang Sect.
Without interaction, if she hadn't been the leader of a gang, Ghost Demon Queen might not necessarily have understood the basic information about the Wuxiang Sect.
For example, Master Shen Qian, the founding leader of the Wuxiang Sect, was originally a wandering Taoist priest. It was during the chaos in the foreign barbarians twenty years ago that he rescued the three Gu brothers and took them with him as disciples.
.
Yes, the establishment of the Wuxiangmen sect was not that long ago, and it was not even older than she was.
However, the Wuxiang Sect's unique skill "Wuxian Sitting and Forgetting the Heart" has quite a history. It is said to be related to the Xiaoyao Sect which ceased to exist a long time ago but was once famous in Zhongzhou for hundreds of years.
Judging from Master Shen Qian's few actions in the past, the rumors seem to be true.
It is precisely because of this that the Wuxiang Sect was convicted of a crime. The three principal and deputy sect leaders disappeared five years ago without any news, and were eventually destroyed, causing quite a stir in the world.
The ghostly enchantress dug through the relevant information in her mind one by one, and felt a little dizzy before her eyes.
Only then did I realize that I had been in a bad state of mind lately, and because of the long hours of running around, my body, which had not fully recovered from the serious injury after the Hundred Flowers Conference, was really taking a lot to bear.
Gu Xinhun saw the ghost girl's fatigue in his eyes, and tried to persuade her earnestly: "Even if the ghost gang leader really wants to take action, he should recuperate his body and spirit before coming again. Otherwise, what is the difference between seeking death? Not to mention dying by my hands or
It's Jiang Yichen's hand. If there is really someone with evil intentions, the ghost gang leader may be gone before he even gets in front of his enemies."
The ghostly enchantress closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened her eyes again, her eyes were as sharp as ever. She had no intention of exploring why Gu Su Che came back from the dead, and only said: "What you said makes sense, but now that I'm here, I can't
I plan to leave empty-handed."
"Everything in the world is unpredictable, and there are so many things that can't keep up with changes in plans." Having said all that needs to be said, Gu Xinhun said no more and raised his hand towards the alley, "Ghost Gang Leader, please invite me."
The ghostly enchantress heard the two meanings of the word "please" in Gu Xinhun.
On the first floor, she was asked to return empty-handed.
The other level is to ask her to take action.
…
…
Yuzhou Alley is not a big alley, and the commotion outside can easily attract the attention of people inside.
"Fortunately, I've finished my meal."
Huo Nan, whose face became increasingly pale and haggard, lay on the rocking chair with his eyes closed and muttered to himself.
Gu Lian and Leng Mei were washing dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen.
Shadow Buddha and Kong Yi hate the two elders but they are nowhere to be found.
Only Jiang Yichen stayed beside Huo Nan, slightly lost in thought as he listened to the noise outside.
"I gonna go see."
Jiang Yichen was about to stand up but was held down by Huo Nan's outstretched hand.
Even though Huo Nan's hand didn't use even half of its strength, Jiang Yichen didn't dare to be disobedient and sit still.
Then something happened.
If Gu Xinhun is Gu Su Che from the Wuxiang Sect, then maybe he is here to seek revenge from Smiling Maitreya.
He has a certain fondness for Gu Xinhun, whom he has met several times.
For Gu Su Che, whom he had never met before, when he first heard the news that the other party was still alive, he felt it was an unexpected surprise.
But when the two merged into one, he didn't know how to face it.
Especially when he felt that the other party would pose a threat to Huo Nan, he hoped that the latter would never appear.
Huo Nan saw through his mind at a glance and said, "Don't worry, he is not hostile to me."
Jiang Yichen knew that Huo Nan was talking about the Southern Shaolin period, so he said: "At that time, he was not Gu Su Che at that time."
Huo Nan smiled and asked: "When I was not on guard against him, he didn't take action. He had to wait until I was running out of time before he revealed his identity and came to take my life?"
Jiang Yichen was speechless when asked.
Huo Nan added: "No matter whether he has experienced death or not, he can still be so calm and deal with things after being reborn over the years, which shows that he is a person who can take things up and let them go. In the past two years,
Judging from the fortune and rise of Hongchen Inn, he doesn’t look like a hypocrite who takes advantage of others’ danger.”
Jiang Yichen knew that he could not defeat Huo Nan, and he was indeed convinced by Huo Nan, so he had to use the donkey at the foot of the slope to say: "Since the other party came specifically for me, I can't hide away, right?"
Huo Nan said: "I don't want you to hide from Gu Su Che, but I want you to hide from the ghostly enchantress."
Maybe it was because he was exhausted from the past few days, or maybe Jiang Yichen always gave up thinking unconsciously in front of Mr. Tinglan. At that moment, he didn't understand the meaning of Huo Nan's words at all, so he had to ask: "What does aunt mean?"
Seeing this, Huo Nan really felt like a shrewd head of the family was educating the children of an incompetent family. He couldn't help laughing, and rolled his eyes at Jiang Yichen before explaining.
"The temples were able to stand out from many sects in less than twenty years, and once reached the top of the Four Seas Alliance. Although it was not the work of Ghost Demon Queen alone, it cannot conceal the shrewdness and ability of Ghost Demon Queen.
"But everyone has weaknesses and weaknesses, and the thought of her brother Feng Liuzi's safety being her biggest weakness.
"Although this is an afterthought, after the romantic child died unexpectedly at your hands, the ghostly enchantress acted too emotionally and lost her balance. She was also overworked in chasing you, which shows that her mental state is extremely unstable.
"If you don't show up at this time, let Gu Su Che help you drive her away, and you can live in peace for a while.
"If you want to send it to her, I'm afraid she won't be able to control herself. Even if Gu Su Che stops her, she will still fight for your life.
"It would be fine if this was the outskirts, but there are so many people here. If she loses control and misses, she will inevitably be killed and injured.
"understand?"
Jiang Yichen nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Huo Nan added: "The most important thing is that as you are now, you can only escape in front of her. If you really want to confront her, you will still be dead."
Jiang Yichen scratched his head in embarrassment upon hearing this.
Huo Nan pulled out this booklet from somewhere and handed it to Jiang Yichen.
"Xiao Lian has time to take care of her here and her uncle will take care of her. I feel relieved.
"It's just you and I have to worry about it.
"I have been thinking about it for a long time these days, and I feel that the solution to your hidden danger of false dantian should be found in the Huatian Sword Sect's "Zixia Divine Art".
"Try to blend water and fire with "Frost and Snow Qi" according to the method written in my book.
"If we can turn ice into free-flowing water and transform the fixed form of pseudo-dantian into a normal flow, then the so-called hidden dangers will be self-defeating.
"At that time, Shuangxue Qi was no longer Shuangxue Qi, and it was bound to improve.
"I have no intention of naming the secret of the technique. If you can really practice it by then, you can name it yourself."
Jiang Yichen remembered Huo Nan's words in his heart, but he was stunned when he took the book.
…
…
The first day of September.
The eighth day after Huo Nan woke up.
According to Shadow Buddha, it was two days before Huo Nan's deadline.
Jiang Yichen was driven out of Jinzhou City by his ears held by Aunt Huo's family.
Huo Nan did not plan to hold a funeral, but said she would let Gu Lian throw her ashes into the sea.
She had never been to the sea in her life, but after spending some time in this harbor, she actually yearned for the sea.
By driving Jiang Yichen away, in addition to not wanting him to face sadness, he also didn't want him to waste time here.
Yesterday, the chaos in Youjing was initially settled, but Dongying, Du Zhu, and Luo Yue could not wait to launch an attack on Zhongzhou two days ago!
The end of Zhongzhou seems to be approaching soon...
