Chapter 14: Yuning Gu Family
There is a lonely ancient city on the vast land.
The ancient city towers into the clouds, and the surrounding walls are hundreds of feet high, like an ancient mountain standing horizontally between heaven and earth.
Snowflakes were floating in the sky, falling on the city, adding a layer of white clothes to pedestrians.
In Gu's fourth room, there was a faint sound of crying, as if it was an old woman, her voice was hoarse, but full of sadness.
"Madam, you have been here for two days and your eyes are swollen from crying. You should go back to your room and rest early. As long as the young master has a slave to take care of you."
"Yun'er hasn't woken up yet, how can I feel at ease? I have to guard Yun'er until he wakes up."
"Didn't the doctor already tell you that Mr. Yun just failed to activate his spiritual veins and his body was injured? He will wake up from coma for a few days. But Madam, you are weak and cannot bear the pain."
Suddenly, there was a bang!
Something seemed to hit the ground, causing the maid to exclaim, "Madam, please wake up quickly. Madam has fallen. Quickly, send madam back to rest."
…
With an earth-shattering explosion, the void was torn open, and immediately after, the white-haired young man was swallowed into the depths of the void.
Vaguely, he seemed to hear Peng Zu sighing: "To untie the bell, the person who tied it must be tied."
Suddenly, his mind suddenly trembled and he woke up.
"Where is this?" The white-haired young man looked around. There was endless fog and chaos in front of him, and he couldn't find a way out. "Is it the legendary underworld of reincarnation?"
At this moment, a ray of light shone in.
His body kept flying upward until he came to a lake.
"Why is my body like this?"
The white-haired young man accidentally looked down and was shocked.
I saw countless stone beads embedded in his body, as if his body was a stone plate.
The stone bead was covered with cracks, but it was not broken. There were just a few faint flashes of edge, which made one's heart tremble with fear.
And his body also turned into a transparent form, or in other words, this was not his body, but his soul.
The white-haired young man had no time to think before his consciousness poured into the lake, and then he sensed an empty body.
The body and his body were like one body, with almost no repulsion between them. As soon as they touched, they merged into one body naturally. Immediately, the white-haired young man felt the incomparable surging vitality.
It was an amazing breath of life, and he could even clearly calculate that this body could live for another eighty-three years.
"Am I reincarnated?" The white-haired young man was confused.
Then he noticed something was wrong. This body was extremely tough, with mature bones and flesh. Instead of a baby, it was clearly a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Whether it's a baby or an adult, I survived after all!"
The white-haired young man couldn't help but be happy. He had been planning for many years, didn't he just want to have a body with enough longevity?
But not yet waiting for his heart
The joy dissipates, phew!
A wind knife appeared out of thin air between heaven and earth, and slashed directly into his body. In an instant, his longevity disappeared crazily, with only two years left.
"God, you still won't let me go!"
The white-haired young man was so angry that his whole body was burning. His two years of life were not the lifespan of his previous life. Now that he had changed his body, the sky actually cut off his extra eighty-one years of life with a sword again. .
puff!
The anger in his heart, coupled with the original injuries of the physical body, caused the physical body to cough out a mouthful of blood.
"God damn it, you bastard!"
His body yelled this sentence with all his strength, and he passed out again.
After an unknown amount of time, when he opened his eyes again, there was already a pretty girl standing in front of him, blinking and looking at him.
The girl holds a black jade pendant in her hand, which is full of patterns of exotic animals, which is particularly exquisite.
"You..." The white-haired young man was about to speak, but found that his throat was dry and he couldn't speak at all.
And his body was covered with invisible scars, and the loss of a huge amount of lifespan also caused huge trauma to his physical body.
At this moment, deep in his soul, a stone bead emitted light, and an invisible thought passed into the young man's mind, seeming to tell him that he must get the black jade pendant.
"Black jade pendant? Why does the life star want a jade pendant?" Sensing Shi Zhu's anxiety, the young man wanted to speak and ask for the jade pendant in the girl's hand, but because his throat was dry, he could not speak.
"Mr. Yun, do you want to drink water?" The girl looked at the young man's anxious eyes and quickly poured water, while the ink jade pendant in her hand was placed on the young man.
In an instant, the brilliance in the jade pendant passed away and merged into the young man's body continuously, while the stone bead deep in the soul was constantly being repaired until it was completely restored to completeness.
After the stone beads condensed and formed, the white-haired young man felt that his life span had increased by about a day.
"how so?"
"Is it true that the life-extending ability of the astrolabe has not disappeared? As long as I repair a stone bead, I can increase my life span?"
The white-haired young man's eyes suddenly lit up.
If this is really the case, wouldn't he be able to use the power of the horoscope to live longer like Peng Zu did back then?
As the first stone bead was repaired, another stone bead trembled, and invisible thoughts poured into his mind.
Vaguely, he seemed to see a golden knife inlaid with emeralds, lying horizontally on a wooden stand.
"It seems that if I want to repair the second stone bead, I must first find the emerald gold knife." The white-haired young man understood clearly.
…
After lying in bed for half a month, the white-haired young man finally recovered from his injuries.
During this period of time, he silently listened to the conversations of the servants and maids outside the house, and had a preliminary understanding of the world in front of him.
This place is called Youning, and it is a big city.
In Youning City, there are two major families, namely
Gu and Yu.
And he is the grandson of the fourth branch of the Gu family, Gu Xiuyun.
"I didn't expect that in this life, I actually have my own name, and I am no longer a nameless person. It's just that this Gu Xiuyun did too many bad things, no wonder he died young." The white-haired young man was in a complicated mood, not knowing whether he was happy or sad.
From the maid's talk, Gu Xiuyun is only seventeen years old this year, and he has been through thousands of flowers, and even the maids around him seem to have not been spared.
"What a lecher." The white-haired young man couldn't help but curse.
In his previous life, he was chaste and had never hurt any woman. But in this life, he did nothing, but was first known as a heartless, dissolute and vulgar man.
"Xiao Cui." 'Gu Xiuyun' got up and hooked his finger at the maid beside him.
"Mr. Yun, you are not well yet, so you can't be too tired," the maid blushed, "Why not wait two days!"
"What do you mean by wait two days?" Gu Xiuyun couldn't help rolling his eyes, "I asked you to help me go out for a walk. I have been lying on the bed for half a month, and I am almost exhausted!"
"Ah?" The maid blushed a lot, and hurried to the bed, "Mr., I will help you out now."
The two slowly walked out of the room and came to the courtyard.
Seeing Gu Xiuyun's figure, the courtyard suddenly became quiet, and the servants and maids lowered their heads, silently trimming the branches and cleaning the courtyard.
Gu Xiuyun glanced around, there was no wooden frame, and there was no trace of the jadeite gold knife.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the maid at the outermost side of the courtyard.
The girl had bright eyes and white teeth, and looked quite lovely, but Gu Xiuyun seemed to have never seen her in the half month he lay in bed.
"Xiao Cui, why don't I seem to have seen that girl? Is she a maid in my courtyard?" Gu Xiuyun frowned and asked.
"Sir, that was the new maid you brought in from outside before you were injured. Her name is Xiao Huan. Have you forgotten?" Xiao Cui looked at the girl with a hint of disgust, but because the young master had already asked, she patiently answered: "Xiao Huan doesn't know etiquette and can't serve people, so I let her stay outside and be responsible for sweeping and washing the clothes of the servants."
Hearing this, Gu Xiuyun took a closer look at the girl in the distance.
Sensing Gu Xiuyun's gaze, the girl seemed a little timid, and her head lowered lower and lower, almost digging into the soil!
"It turned out to be a new maid, no wonder I can't remember it clearly." Gu Xiuyun thought.
It seems that the girl has not been defiled by the previous owner of the flesh. I'm afraid she is the only one in this courtyard!
He scanned the crowd. Almost all the maids in the courtyard were not virgins. Some of the bold ones even took the opportunity to flirt with him.
"This Gu Xiuyun has a good taste." The young master Xi Ming thought to himself.
The girls in the courtyard all had oval faces, high noses, and big eyes. If they were outside, they would definitely be called young and beautiful. Unfortunately, they were all ruined by him!
