Still so Stupid
It is already the season of spring in the capital.
On this day, Gu Ling took Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu, and the master and apprentice went to visit Wangxiang Mountain again. There was no one else, and Gu Xiaonuan was not with him.
Ji Xiaoshu ran at the front. Seeing that Zheng'er was not chasing after him, he felt bored. He turned around and ran back, holding Gu Ling's hand. "Is the master going to travel again soon?"
"Yeah." Gu Ling nodded.
"You definitely can't take us there." Ji Xiaoshu knew this, "Then will Master Wife go too?"
Gu Ling shook his head, "I won't go."
"Then when master leaves, I will protect my wife and sister!" Ji Xiaoshu puffed up his chest.
"Let's wait until you grow taller." Gu Ling lowered his head and glanced at Ji Xiaoshu.
Ji Xiaoshu compared it and saw that he was only as tall as Gu Ling's thigh. His face couldn't help but feel a little sad, "I eat meat every day, why do I still grow so slowly?"
Zheng'er smiled and said, "We are still young. When we grow up, we will grow taller."
Of course Ji Xiaoshu knows, but he really wants to be able to protect Su Liang and Gu Xiaonuan now, but unfortunately, he himself still needs protection.
When they arrived at the old place, the ice had melted. The two children found the tadpoles again, and excitedly asked Gu Ling to come over and take a look.
"The hibernating frog has come out, and the shrunken villain is about to come out too." Ji Xiaoshu sighed.
Gu Ling rubbed Ji Xiaoshu's head and said, "You are so old-fashioned."
"I'm much younger than Master!" Ji Xiaoshu hummed. He was just sensitive to the fact that Gu Ling and Su Liang had something on their minds recently.
After seeing the tadpoles, the three masters and apprentices climbed to the top of the mountain. Gu Ling also led them to catch a rabbit, peeled it, cleaned it and roasted it on the spot.
They had a great time in the wild, and by the time they got home, it was already afternoon.
Gu Ling walked in and saw Lin Wei and Yuan Ying arriving. Yuan Ye was playing with Gu Xiaonuan.
"Uncle Ershan!" Zheng'er came in and greeted Lin Wei.
Lin Yan opened his arms with a smile on his face and hugged Ji Xiaoshu who was walking by him, "Xiaoshu, you didn't call me when you went out to play?"
Ji Xiaoshu was a little speechless, "Uncle Ershan, besides staying with Aunt Yuan, what else do you want to do now?"
Lin Xin chuckled and said, "The one who knows me is a little tree."
Yuan Yingzheng was having a pleasant conversation with Yan Shiba. Yan Shiba likes girls with cheerful and outgoing personalities, Wen Ran likes them, and Yuan Ying even more likes them.
In fact, Lin Wei and Yuan Ying came today because they were thinking about Su Liang's appointment with Mo Yan on the first day of March. When they asked before, Su Liang said that it hadn't been decided yet and felt that the time was about the same. They came over today to ask about the final arrangement. If Su Liang and Gu Ling were to go south, they would be happy to help take care of the children.
Su Liang has already said that Gu Ling is going, but she hasn't decided yet.
It was getting late, Lin Yi and Yuan Ying took Yuanye away. Wen Ran and the others were preparing dinner. Gu Ling went upstairs to change clothes and sat down by the window, watching the children running wildly outside under the sunset. .
Su Liang walked in, walked over and sat next to Gu Ling, looked down with him, and couldn't help but sigh, "If I could turn back time and return to my childhood..."
Gu Ling shook his head, "The most I can accept is going back in time to the day we met. No matter how early it is, it's not allowed." If they really go back to their childhood, they will be in two different worlds.
Su Liang smiled and said, "Okay, let's change the hypothesis. We are still children when we wake up. How about growing up together?" The two of them are together. Because of their special life experiences, they often have some fantasy topics that can be extended. Tell a long and interesting story.
"It's not good either." Gu Ling shook his head, "Children need protection and are easily in danger." In short, in order to ensure that they can be together safely, certain settings are not valid for him.
Su Liang shrugged, "Okay, the chat is over. I told Sister Yuan that I might go with you. Do you still decide to go by yourself?"
Gu Ling held Su Liang's hand, put it against his face, nodded and said, "Well, you are at home." It was not that he looked down upon Su Liang, but after becoming parents, they had a consensus: even if something happens, there is at least one person there. You need to stay with your children. You won't have to do this when your children are older, but not now.
"Okay. I originally thought that I am the real time traveler after all, but in fact there is no difference between you and the time traveler now. It is difficult for me to find anything new to tell you. Even from a conceptual point of view, Sometimes you are more like a time traveler than me." Su Liang smiled, "You are good at martial arts, you go, I will stay at home and wait for you to come back. However, it was Mo Yan who we made an appointment with, and the main thing we wanted to do at that time was to calm down the fight. , delay for a while, I haven’t said what to do when you meet him. Master, you must have an idea.”
Gu Ling nodded, "We have already discussed this once."
Su Liang expressed surprise, "Have I lost my memory?"
"He is suitable for explosion." Gu Ling said.
Su Liang held his forehead. Yes, on the day Chengyun came back with the gift from Mo Yan, he saw Mo Yan saying in the letter that he wanted to hug Gu Xiaonuan. At that time, Gu Ling said: Mo Yan is suitable for explosions.
"Master, are you planning to blow him up?" Su Liang thought thoughtfully, "It's not impossible, but he must be prepared for it. I'm afraid it won't be easy to succeed." Both sides know that each other can use explosives and have a lot of them. .
"On the first day of March, take advantage of Mo Yan's departure to go to Xingluo Island and blow up the forbidden area." Gu Ling said.
"It's certainly a good idea to divert the tiger away from the mountain. But what threatens us is not the forbidden land or the road, it's the people. After blowing up the forbidden land, Mo Yan is still alive. His lifelong dream has been in vain, and he will only go completely crazy. If he can't Dealing with him as soon as possible will further intensify the conflict." Su Liang felt that this was not very safe.
Gu Ling continued, "When I see Mo Yan, I will tell him that we have sent people to the island to blow up the forbidden area and threaten him to hand over the magic weapon."
"That magic weapon may not be able to be handed over. If it exists in his spiritual consciousness, others cannot take it away and cannot use it. Although it seems that it is probably the ruby ring, it may be a deception." Su Liang said, suddenly his eyes narrowed slightly, "We have been ignoring one thing before."
"What?" Gu Ling asked. In fact, the two did not discuss what to do when they met at sea on the first day of March. The explosion that Gu Ling mentioned just now was just a joke. The two were currently discussing feasible plans.
"The space in Moyan is only known to have been filled with explosives and a large amount of food and grass." Su Liang said, "We have not considered whether living animals can enter there."
Gu Ling was slightly stunned. Regarding the concept of portable space, Su Liang mentioned that it was only seen in novels and movies in previous lives, and it cannot be explained by technology. Gu Ling has a rich imagination, but his previous focus was not on the interior of the space. Instead, he had been thinking about what the principle would be, and he ignored what Su Liang just said.
"If living creatures can come in and out, so can people." Gu Ling's face turned slightly solemn. If this is the case, Mo Yan's threat to them will be even greater. Imagine that Mo Yan can take people into his space. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a god and a ruler to a certain extent.
In contrast, Gu Ling's special ability is the "Bodhisattva attribute", which most of the time is of no benefit to him and just requires his dedication. As a time traveler, Su Liang does not have any special powers or magic weapons, so he has to learn many things on the spot.
"Although there is currently no evidence that living creatures can enter and exit his space, we have to guard against it." Su Liang frowned, "He wants to move his fingers and capture you into a space. I can't see, touch, or get in, and there's nothing I can do about it." That would be bad, and we would have to let him do whatever he wants."
The two looked at each other, and the originally relaxed and calm atmosphere of the discussion suddenly became a little more tense.
Gu Ling held Su Liang's hand tightly, "In that case, regardless of the agreement on the first day of March, we will attack Xingluo Island in advance."
"After the previous incident, they must be on guard." Su Liang said, "You can first lead troops to ambush the master's island. After exploring the Moyan Island, the troops can be divided into two groups and intercept and siege him at sea. Go all the way to attack Xingluo Island and destroy the forbidden area. This is the most important thing. As for whether you can get the magic weapon, that's not important."
Gu Ling nodded, "I'll leave tonight."
Su Liang hugged Gu Ling and sighed, "I thought there were still a few days left. It would be better to leave tonight. We could get rid of Mo Yan as soon as possible so that we could have peace of mind." This is not easy. At this point, both sides have a trump card. It's almost all bright. I didn't choose to attack again before because I knew that Xingluo Island was on defense and it would be difficult to succeed. The situation explained by Feng Ming earlier also proved this. Gu Ling and Su Liang have never wanted to cause casualties on their side when solving troubles.
Even if Mo Yan had sent a generous gift and a sincere letter before, it could not change the impression that his previous actions had left on Gu Ling and Su Liang - that is, he was a selfish, vicious, shameless person who had harmed countless people. A cold-blooded demon who will continue to harm people. Neither Su Liang nor Gu Xiaonuan could make Mo Yan change what he originally wanted to do.
After dinner, Gu Ling did not say goodbye to the rest of the family, but only called Cheng Yun because Su Liang was worried about him traveling alone, but Gu Ling wanted all the masters to stay and look after the house.
Chengyun was surprised that Gu Ling was leaving tonight, but when he heard that he was asked to go with him, he packed his luggage without saying a word.
"Don't worry, I will take care of myself." Gu Ling hugged Su Liang and patted her back gently.
The two of them had been separated in the past, but today they just realized that the enemy might be more difficult than they originally thought, and Su Liang was inevitably a little uneasy. She actually thought that the worst outcome would be that Gu Ling failed to kill Mo Yan and was captured by Mo Yan instead. But as long as Mo Yan knew that Gu Ling was not a time traveler but Su Liang was, he would use Gu Ling to force Su Liang to submit. ——In short, as long as people are alive, other troubles can always be solved.
Gu Xiaonuan was a little drowsy, so Gu Ling hugged her and kissed her. She kissed Gu Ling's face back and called "Dad".
The door creaked open, and two little heads poked in.
Su Liang waved them in. The two little guys, both wearing cute pajamas, ran to Su Liang, looked at Gu Ling and asked, "Is Master leaving tonight?"
Ji Xiaoshu noticed it and told Zheng'er that Gu Ling looked at Su Liang differently tonight, revealing special attachment and reluctance.
Su Liang nodded, "Well, things have changed a bit. Your master needs to leave early."
"Master's wife, are you sure you don't want to go?" Ji Xiaoshu asked, looking up.
"Well, I'm sure I won't go." Su Liang smiled, "We'll wait for him at home."
"That's good. If master is caught by bad guys, we can still save him." Ji Xiaoshu said with a serious face.
Zheng'er quickly covered Ji Xiaoshu's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense. It's impossible for Master to be caught by bad guys!"
"Of course, I'm just assuming." Ji Xiaoshu said with a smile, ran over and hugged Gu Ling's leg, "Master, you have to come back early, or I will forget about you!"
"That's better." Gu Ling said.
Ji Xiaoshu:......
Gu Ling put Gu Xiaonuan on the bed and hugged the two young apprentices. He looked at Su Liang, who came over, hugged his neck and kissed him, "Go, don't worry about home."
"We'll look after my sister. Let's go and see the master off, don't rush back." Ji Xiaoshu said consciously.
So, Su Liang sent Gu Ling outside.
Chengyun came over with a bag, but didn't see Gu Ling coming down. He thought he hadn't come out yet, so he waited at the door of Yuanming Pavilion, but he didn't know that Gu Ling was kissing Su Liang goodbye in the woods at this time.
Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu lay on the bed, looking at Gu Xiaonuan who was already asleep, and looked at each other.
Zheng'er sighed, "I hope the bad guys will be exterminated soon."
Ji Xiaoshu climbed onto the bed, "Master is not at home, let's sleep with Master's wife."
Zheng'er was a little speechless, "Xiaoshu, you're just thinking about sleeping with Master's wife."
"I care about Master too, there's no conflict." Ji Xiaoshu had already found a place to lie down, "If Master's wife doesn't tell us stories tonight, she will definitely miss Master and can't sleep."
Zheng'er thought about it, and that was right, so he climbed onto the bed too.
When Su Liang came back alone, she saw three little guys lying on the bed, and the outer position was reserved for her.
Zhenger rubbed his eyes, "Master's wife, go to bed quickly, it's late."
"Master's wife, if you can't sleep, you can tell us a story, or go for a walk." Ji Xiaoshu yawned, "I'm not sleepy, really."
Su Liang lay down on the bed and put down the bed curtain, "Go to sleep. I'm sleepy too."
Ji Xiaoshu closed his eyes and muttered, "God, open your eyes and kill the bad guys."
Su Liang patted the two little apprentices gently and closed his eyes. In fact, she was not sleepy. She was thinking about what to do if Mo Yan's space could really catch people? The size of the space should not be infinite, otherwise it would be too against the sky, and Mo Yan would not have been dormant for so many years. If you have to touch a person to catch him, it's not a big problem. Just keep a distance from him. But if there is a medium, you can take him in, such as a rope, a piece of wood, or even the ground...
Su Liang opened her eyes, looked at the top of the bed, and then looked at her daughter and two lovely apprentices sleeping beside her. She thought that Gu Ling had never let her down all the way to now. You can't just think about how powerful Mo Yan's magic weapon is, you can't ignore the ability of her god.
Su Liang breathed a sigh of relief and decided to sleep well and recuperate. There are still many things to do tomorrow. She has prepared a lot of medicine for Gu Ling, including truth serum. Some medicines have been taken away, and the medicine store at home also needs to be replenished.
...
When the sky was about to dawn, Chengyun and Gu Ling had already left the capital for a distance.
During a short break, Chengyun compared his height with Gu Ling, "Actually, I can be your substitute now." When they first met, he was a head shorter than Gu Ling, but now he is almost the same.
"Why do you want to be my stand-in?" Gu Ling asked calmly.
Cheng Yun said seriously, "If someone wants to kill you, you can't get into trouble. No matter what happens, I can stand in for you. Su Liang is my sister, you are my brother-in-law, I should protect you."
Gu Ling looked at Cheng Yun's extremely serious face in the morning light, reached out and patted his head gently, "You are still so stupid. Let's go, don't think about those things."
