Chapter 624 Gu Qing's Story

Gu Qing looked at her quietly without saying anything to comfort her.

He is like his master, even if San Yue dies, he will not cry.

You cry yours.

What does it have to do with me?

He didn't wake up until he felt something strange on his face, reached out to touch it, and found that it was already wet with tears.

I am not a master.

...

...

Of course he was not Jing Jiu.

Jing Jiu was the son of the Emperor of God, and he lived in the palace since he was born.

Although his father is also a big shot in the Gu family, he has lived in that side courtyard since he was born. The courtyard is very small and simple, even worse than those respectable servants. Because his mother was not a regular wife, she wasn't even considered a concubine at the beginning, she was either a maid, or just a maid who was used at will by the male master.

The Gu family has been able to develop to this day, which naturally has its merits. All children, regardless of whether they are relatives or distant relatives, will have the opportunity to receive education, and will be checked to see if they have spiritual talent, and there will be no omissions. Fortunately, Gu Qing showed his talent for cultivating Taoism at a very young age, but unfortunately, he also has an elder brother with better talent than him, and he is the direct son.

The Gu family made some preparations and sent Gu Qing to Qingshan a few years later.

The elder brother named Gu Han was naturally indifferent to him, but he was not bad at all, so he was taken to Liangwang Peak and became the sword boy who was the first disciple of Qingshan to cross Nanshan.

If his life continues on this track, after inheriting the sword, he will formally join Liangwang Peak, practice hard to kill enemies, and use his seniority and merits to exchange for precious pills and swordsmanship, and then see if he has any hope of becoming an elder of any peak in two hundred years.

The problem is that on the night of Cheng Jian, he met Jing Jiu, and his life changed drastically.

His flying sword was like broken copper and rotten iron, Jing Jiu smashed it into the distant mountains.

At that moment, apart from anger and humiliation, his heart was filled with confusion.

He couldn't figure out what was going on, so he asked Jing Jiu subconsciously.

It was inexplicable to ask the opponent who had just defeated him for advice, and what was even more inexplicable was that Jing Jiu answered it seriously.

Because he used the Liulong Sword Art in advance at the Chengjian Conference, he was suspended from his sword training qualification for one year.

Gu Han was a little displeased, and didn't say anything, telling him to wait another three years to inherit the sword.

For things like cultivating the Tao, stagnation for three years often means that there is no hope for the way. Just when Gu Qing was feeling desperate, Liu Shisui said to him: "Would you like to go over there and try?"

After thinking for a long time, Lu Qing finally made a decision.

This decision would definitely offend Gu Han, and even make the Gu family give up on his training, but he did it anyway, and at the moment he made the decision, he felt unprecedented ease. Because from that moment on, he finally left Gu Han and the Gu family.

He went to Shenmo Peak, Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue said that they don't need a deacon, but this mountain is so big, you can live anywhere you want.

He stayed in Shenmo Peak and built a wooden house with the monkeys.

Three years later, when Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue returned from Haizhou, he joined Chengjian and naturally became Jing Jiu's disciple, and he was taught Tianguang Peak's Chengtian swordsmanship.

These experiences are indeed wonderful, and in other stories, they are often treated like male protagonists, but he clearly knows that his cultivation talent is not as good as the two teachers, nor is he as good as Liu Shisui and Zhuo Rusui who he met later. After seeing Tong Yan, he knows that he is definitely not smart.

He can only spend more time practicing, and pay more attention to other aspects.

He handled everything meticulously, and became the real big steward of Shenmo Peak, and then became Jing Yao's teacher, served as the acting head of Qingshan for several years, and now he became the prison supervisor.

Governing the country is of course difficult, and he was a little unconfident at the beginning, but he has assisted Jing Yao very well in the past hundred years, and no one can pick out the slightest fault.

The days in the imperial city were too long, and it was difficult for him to remember the small, damp and dark courtyard of the Gu family back then.

His mother moved out of that yard a long time ago and became the most respected old lady in the whole family. She passed away peacefully and contentedly seventy years ago.

For mortals, the life-prolonging effect of elixir is limited, and no one can avoid it when the time limit expires.

When his mother passed away, Gu Qing left Chaoge City and returned home once, which was his last connection in the world.

When his father died, he didn't go back, so the Gu family naturally didn't dare to have any opinions.

No matter who looked at it, Gu Qing's cultivation career was very smooth, which was enviable and even jealous.

After he met Jing Jiu, there was only one chance he had to work hard at the top of Tianguang Peak, but he hadn't succeeded yet.

"Have you ever fought for someone in your life?"

He knew that someone had asked Master this question, but Master did not answer.

When he thought about it, the master was willing to work hard for Lian Sanyue, because he had seen the look in the master's eyes before he fell that day.

What about yourself? Besides Master, who else am I willing to work hard for?

...

...

By the window, Empress Dowager Hu was weeping silently.

Lu Qing thought silently, I am willing to work hard for you.

Yes, although nothing else can be done.

When did it start?

Gu Qing couldn't remember clearly.

He doesn't talk much, and he doesn't like to chatter like Zhuo Rusui and Yuan Qu, but it may be because the yard was too quiet when he was a child, but he actually likes to be lively.

He didn't eat much hot pot, but in fact, he was responsible for those things.

He likes this feeling like home.

Probably just like Jing Jiu likes to watch them eat hot pot.

He didn't want to leave Shenmo Peak, not even for a day, but he was thrown into Chaoge City by his master. At the beginning, he was really not used to it, even with some resentment, until later he found out that there would be a hot snack on his table every night, no matter whether he ate it or not.

At that time, she was still Concubine Hu Gui, and she wanted to stabilize the strong support of Qingshan, so she was naturally very polite and enthusiastic towards him.

But he has always been indifferent to her, obeying the rules, keeping a distance, and rarely even looking her in the eye.

The reason is very simple... Concubine Hu Gui was born so beautiful, he wanted to see it very much, but knew that he would see problems.

This is a fox demon with profound morals, no matter how neatly he is dressed, even if he is wearing a big cotton padded jacket from a peasant family, he is still more attractive than ordinary women who are naked.

What's more troublesome is that he found that Concubine Hu Gui often looked at him.

There was no lust in her eyes, only curiosity and flattery.

But, what do you see me doing?

Don't you know that if you look at it like this, something will happen?

Lu Qing was very depressed, so naturally he wouldn't give her any good looks.

Concubine Hu Gui must have misunderstood what he meant, thinking that this righteous disciple looked down on her own background, and became indifferent to him.

That was more than a hundred years ago.

later.

The God Emperor left this world.

He returned to Chaoge City from Qingshan.

There was silence in the palace.

With red eyes, Jing Yao suppressed his grief and handled the government affairs with the assistance of the minister.

The temple was as quiet as a tomb.

He stood outside the window, watching her from a distance.

At that time, it was as if her soul had been taken out of her body, her face was pale, and she just sat on the couch numbly.

All the maids and eunuchs were driven away by her.

Suddenly, she began to cry and did not stop.

She broke down in sobs.

She is heartbroken.

Dark clouds floated in the night sky, covering the stars, as if the stars couldn't bear to listen.

Lu Qing even wondered if she would cry to death if she was allowed to continue crying.

He had no choice but to just watch like this, walked into the hall, came to her, and wanted to comfort her a few words.

But the people in Shenmo Peak couldn't comfort others, he didn't know what to say.

Concubine Hu Gui looked at him blankly for a while, then suddenly threw herself into his arms, hugging him and crying bitterly.

Lu Qing was taken aback, wanted to break free but found that he couldn't do it, only then did he realize that her realm was much higher than her own.

Concubine Hu Gui hugged him and cried all night, tears drenched his clothes.

Other than that, nothing happened.

...

...

The next day, everything was back to normal.

She started to be the empress dowager, and he started to supervise the country, and they still kept a distance. The relationship was very cold, and they never looked at each other.

One day ten years later, at the critical moment when he broke through the realm and entered the wild, he came to the palace wall, looked at the natural cracks on it, and his heart gradually calmed down, but there was still something missing.

Suddenly, he felt a gaze fall on him, and turned around to look, only to see that she was looking at him through the window, with a mocking expression on her face.

Because of that one glance, he was overwhelmed.

When she found out about it, she laughed happily and stared at him often since then.

Of course, when no outsiders are present.

Even if Lu Qing looked back with some annoyance, she would not back down, and still looked at him with a smile, like a playful little girl.

Probably because he looked back too much in anger, he was no longer afraid to look at her, and when she wasn't paying attention, he would also stare at her profile.

Really nice to see.

People who love beauty, everyone has it, so many people in the world can stare at Master's face, why can't I?

Ten years later, something finally happened.

Unlike the romance stories in the book, nothing major happened that day, and none of them got sick, let alone seriously injured and dying. It's just an ordinary autumn day, maybe because the weather is so good, maybe because there is no one in the temple...

Well, it was because Shuiyue Nunnery ended its rotation that day, and Zhen Tao wanted to go back to the East China Sea with the nunnery master, so he made a special trip out of the palace to see her off.

When he returned to the palace, he found that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

She drove away all the eunuchs and maids, and drank wine in the hall by herself, and there were already more than a dozen wine jars empty on the ground.

Lu Qing walked over and snatched the wine jar from her hand.

She was very angry and stared into his eyes without saying a word, full of hatred.

Gu Qing was a little scared, but also a little happy.

She said she drank too much.

He asked if he wanted to go for a walk in the garden.

There was no one in the garden, and the grass between the flowers and trees was a bit uneven. She drank too much wine, and she was a little unsteady, almost fell, and subconsciously grabbed his hand.

They walked hand in hand in the deserted imperial garden for a long time, without speaking or doing anything else, they just kept walking hand in hand, until their foreheads were sweating, and their palms were even more sweaty. But they didn't let go of their hands, not once, they held tightly from beginning to end.
