2399 Countless Secrets

Gu Xiaowan hugged Niuniu again and left the ancestral hall. As soon as she went out, two people, one big and one small, walked out of the dark room on the side.

The little boy next to him turned out to be Aya. He looked up at Gui Lao and asked doubtfully: "Grandpa, she really looks like her sister!"

The old ghost didn't say anything, and turned around again, looking at the wordless tablet.

Aya stopped talking and followed Gui Lao to look at the wordless tablet. Suddenly, he seemed to have many questions that he wanted to ask, but he knew that grandpa would definitely not answer him, so he had to shut up and not ask.

They were going to Beijing tomorrow, and sure enough they heard grandpa say: "Take the scroll with you and go back and pack your things!"

Aya agreed, took the scroll again, and went back to pack his things.

Gu Xiaowan's heart was filled with countless questions. Apart from the facial features, she was almost carved from the same mold as the woman in such a similar portrait. Also, how could the green mountains, green waters, white clothes and white horses that were similar to those in the dream and portrait look like each other? Is it really the same?

Countless questions weighed on her, making it impossible for her to sleep no matter what, so she had to get up and go outside Gui Lao's house.

There was a light on inside, and she was about to call someone, but an old voice came from inside: "Girl, come in!"

It was as if he had known she would come. Sure enough, Gui Lao was sitting on one side of the table, with a cup of tea in front of him, and a cup of tea opposite him, as if he was waiting for her.

After Gu Xiaowan sat down, Gui Lao pointed to the tea opposite: "Girl, please drink tea!"

"Why is this Mountain of Regret different from what I imagined? They all say that this Mountain of Regret is the mountain of death, but Aya said that wherever his sister walks, it is a safe place. What does this mean?" Gu Xiaowan planned to ask about what Aya had leaked.

The old ghost also took a sip of tea, nodded and said: "There are some places where there are no poisonous snakes, beasts and poisonous miasma. They are safe places!"

Gu Xiaowan frowned: "A safe place? How do you know where is a safe place?"

Ghost Lao: "We will only move in fixed places, and we will not go to other places! Those poisonous snakes and beasts will not come to our place."

"Why won't they come?" Gu Xiaowan asked: "Or, if they come, they will encounter the miasma and poisonous gas and die outside, so they won't bother you?"

"That's right!" Gui Lao nodded.

"What's going on? Why is there such a method? If they don't come to invade you, you will be safe. If you want to go out to invade them, you will also encounter poisonous gas and miasma. It's like water from a well does not invade the water of the river. How can it help? Such a balance?" Gu Xiaowan didn't believe it, this was simply a joke.

Seeing that Gu Xiaowan didn't believe it, Gui Lao shook his head and said, "Girl, have you heard that everything in the world has rules and laws? If you don't offend me, I won't offend you. We and those poisonous snakes and beasts are all creatures of the world. , we and the beasts are all equal in this world!"

All living beings in the world are equal. Gu Xiaowan is a modern person, so of course she agrees with this statement.

"You're right. All living beings are equal!" Gu Xiaowan nodded in agreement and said.

The ghost's hand holding the tea cup suddenly paused, and after a moment, Gu Xiaowan noticed it. Then Jing Gui Lao smiled and said: "I originally thought that it would take a lot of words to convince the girl, but I didn't expect that the girl agreed as soon as she heard it. This proves that the girl is also a kind-hearted person."

Gu Xiaowan waved her hand: "This has nothing to do with kindness. We people are just smarter than those beasts, so we think about this and that, but in the final analysis, we are all living beings in the world, born equal, and no one is superior. Who is inferior, who is noble, who is cheap? People are the same, and so are those poisonous snakes and beasts!"

Gui Lao's wrinkled face suddenly froze, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Gu Xiaowan didn't see Gui Lao's stunned look and continued to ask: "Gui Lao, you haven't told me yet, what is going on? How can people coexist peacefully with those beasts? And, to be honest, I have dreamed about the place that Aya took me to today. I want to ask Mr. Gui, why did you leave me for a day and let me see the cliff scenery alone? Could it be that those Is there any difference in the scenery? I have read and stayed today, but I still have countless questions. I would like to ask Mr. Gui to explain it to me!"

Gui Lao took a sip of tea, and his voice was hoarse but determined: "Girl, the time is up, you will know some answers without having to listen to explanations!"

"Timing? What is timing?" Gu Xiaowan hates it most when people only speak half of their words. It makes people hide countless doubts in their hearts, but they don't know how to solve them. She was angry in her heart, but she didn't know what to do. She looked at the person opposite The old man looked like he was not going to tell her any answers, so she couldn't help but stand up angrily.

She dared not see Master Huiyuan. One or two mysteries made Gu Xiaowan feel tired. The things that happened to her were becoming more and more out of her control. One thing after another made her feel... Doubtful and feeling tired!

"Since Gui Lao doesn't want to talk, Xiao Wan won't force him. In that case, Xiao Wan will not disturb Gui Lao's rest. He is going to the capital tomorrow. I hope Gui Lao can rest early!" After that, she He bowed his hands and left.

Gui Lao looked at her leaving back, and a doting smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The voice was almost overwhelming, but it contained a faint smile: "It's still the same as before. You have to break the casserole and get to the bottom of things. If you don't know, you'll start to get angry! Same, same!"

Gu Xiao

Wan left quickly and didn't even hear Gui Lao's last words of doting. She went back to the room angrily. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she also knew that it was useless to be angry or doubtful, so Then he regained his composure and planned to rest.

It was late at night, so she blew out the candlelight, then lay on the bed and began to rest.

The things she saw during the day passed through her mind like a movie, scene after scene, real and long-lasting.
