The apprentice always wants to kill me

Chapter 35

Eucommia began to wait helplessly in the hut.

It's only three days, just three days... Due to his limited mobility, he no longer stepped out of the house, so Shisi rushed back and forth to help him take care of everything.

He began to get more and more drowsy, and Du Zhong moved his bloated body to wake up a little, then raised his drooping eyelids and looked at the window lattice.

It was still dark outside, so I don't know how long I slept this time.

Du Zhong didn't call Fourteen, and slowly sat up with the edge of the couch, touched the crutch beside the bed with trembling hands, and held it vaguely in his hand.

This crutch was given to him by Bai Chenxin, it is of moderate height, and it is just right for him to use.

Leaning on crutches, he slid to the table bit by bit, sat on the chair, and sighed with relief.

The room was a bit dark, Du Zhong picked up the fire folder next to him, and tried to light the candles on the table.

But his old eyes were dim and his hands were not steady. After a long time trying to light the candle, he knocked it down again and burned his sleeve.

Maybe it would be nice to just be burned to death like this, better than dying of old age.If he died now, would he be able to return to the original world with still good memories?Although there is nothing worth remembering in that world.

Du Zhong stared blankly at the flame on his sleeve, until he felt the tingling pain of burning skin, he suddenly came back to his senses, and stretched out his hand to fight the flame in a panic.

Fortunately, the tables and chairs were not so easy to ignite, otherwise he might really be burned to death.

Although there are no candles, the moonlight can still see through the window lattice.

Du Zhong stuck out his tongue and licked the only tooth in his mouth, then put his trembling hand into his sleeve, hesitating for a moment before holding the small bronze mirror in his sleeve.

He wants to look in the mirror.

For the past two days, Du Zhong has been restraining his urge to look in the mirror, restricting himself to take a picture only once a day when he wakes up in the morning.But now he suddenly wanted to pick up the mirror and see what he looked like.

Just look at it once more. Du Zhong raised his arm and brought the mirror in front of him. His old eyes focused on the mirror for a while before he could see the person in the mirror clearly.

He almost couldn't recognize himself, the face in the mirror was loose, the eyelids were drooping and he couldn't see the eyes clearly, because the whole face was deformed because there were no teeth to support it.

The eyebrows have fallen out, and a few strands of white hair are sparsely attached to the scalp.Du Zhong looked at this face and suddenly thought that it actually looks a bit like a Shar Pei.

Du Zhong moved closer to the mirror and touched his face, then turned his head from side to side.It's really ugly.

He looked at himself, and suddenly became restless and upset, so he quickly looked away and put the mirror away again.

It should be the third day at dawn, and he looks like he is 80 years old now, looking like he is dying.

But how old is he really?More than 20 years in that world, four years in this world, he has not lived to be 30 years old, why is it like this?

Du Zhong sobbed, and after lightly tapping the table with his fists, he put his weight on the table, fetched the small teacup that Gu Qingli had left behind, picked up the teapot and poured some water into it, waited for a while and drank it in one gulp do.

He didn't know whether it was the function of the cup or the meaning of the cup itself, he suddenly felt calm.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly and pushed open the window, staring at the dark sky outside the window in a daze, feeling the feeling of time passing by his fingertips bit by bit.

He just sat there, watching the dark sky gradually brighten.

After half of the daylight, Shisi got up from the ground early, quickly packed up the bedding, fetched firewood and boiled water swiftly.

After taking care of everything, he took the food box and ran to the creek down the mountain, took off his clothes and put the food box on the bank, and then jumped into the water.

The fish in this stream are the most fattest and the best to catch. Not long after, he caught two fat grass carp.Eat one today and save the other for tomorrow.

Fourteen opened the food box and took out a dagger, and began to process the fish in the stream.

After scraping the scales and removing the internal organs, he washed the fish in the stream and immediately put on his clothes, picked up the food box and ran back.

Fourteen is going to the canteen, so if you go late, you won't have anything to eat.It takes a long way to catch fish, and he doesn't know any spells, so he can only run faster.

He was about to run into the door of the dining hall in a hurry, but was suddenly blocked by a figure, and he couldn't brake enough to hit the figure, and fell to the ground with a "slap", and the food box and fish were scattered on the ground.

The one who stood in his way not only didn't apologize, but also laughed with his companions, and said in a strange way: "Hey, who should I be? Isn't this our inner sect disciple Fourteen!"

"Master...Senior brother." Fourteen looked at the group of teenagers older than him, Nuonuo said.

He knew what they were up to, and it wasn't the first time this had happened since he had done it himself.He had no choice but to get up quickly to pick up the food box, trying to quickly pick up the things that fell on the ground.

Those teenagers refused to give up, walked over and kicked his food box away, mockingly said: "You think you are better than us because you have passed on your own? Don't even look at what your master has become now look!"

In the past, they would never have dared to say that about Eucommia, but as the saying goes, if good things don't go out, bad things spread far and wide, and somehow the news of Eucommia's illness spread among the disciples of the Lingcao Hall.

Although Shisi is young, he is not a fool. He already knows from the attitudes of his disciples that his master is almost useless, and there is no future for him to follow.

But so what?Fourteen touched the beginner's heart method in his arms through his coat, and tears rolled in his eyes. It was a kindness to know him to choose him among so many handyman disciples.

He bit his lip and went to pick up the scattered objects on the ground in silence. The group of disciples kicked him once and picked it up once. By the third time, the group of teenagers felt a little bored, so they went back to sit in the dining hall. Down.

Fourteen knew what they were going to do, they wanted to share the porridge he cooked, and they had been doing it for the past few days.

The cook in the dining hall glanced at him and said coldly: "You are late. But there is no one on the stove now."

That's what he meant when he didn't have anything to eat again, so Shisi let out an "en" and trotted over.

In the morning, the cook would only prepare some porridge with more soup and less rice. The first time he ran to the dining hall excitedly with fish, he was ridiculed by other disciples. The cook also said that no one would cook it for him specially. A pot of porridge.

He could only do it by himself. Fourteen quickly processed the ingredients, fetched water to burn firewood and put it in the pot, then stood beside him and waited.

Cooking smoke rose faintly, and when the fresh smell of fish came out, Shisi swallowed greedily.

This smell also attracted the group of disciples who were waiting outside, they walked along the smell and asked, "It's done?"

Fourteen nodded slightly, stepped forward to put out the firewood, and lifted the lid of the pot.The disciples came over very happily: "Hurry up and get a bowl for your master."

Fourteen stirred a few times with a large spoon in his hand, picked a spoonful from a pot of thick porridge where he saw the most meat, put it in a bowl, and quickly turned and left.He was afraid that they would think he made too little porridge, so he ate this small bowl together.

It was like this when he ran into the dining hall excitedly for the first time, the group of disciples pushed him away and divided up the porridge in the pot without leaving a drop.

He had to catch fish again and make another pot, but they said again: "Master is sick now, and his appetite is bad, one bowl is enough, what are you doing with so much?"

He can only take one scoop of a pot of porridge.But he couldn't tell Shizun, because even he could see that Shizun was too busy taking care of himself.

The uncles who came to see Master before would only ask how Master is doing in a decent manner, but they don't care what he said.Even if he told them the situation, he would only be coaxed back by them with two or three words.

Fourteen was already a little confused as to whether they were caring about Master, or trying to curry favor with Senior Brother Gu through Master.

And those two uncles who really cared about Master hadn't been here for several days because they were too busy.

It would be great if Senior Brother Gu was here, if only he could be like Senior Brother Gu.Fourteen hugged the food box upwards, at least if Brother Gu went to the cafeteria to pick up food, he would definitely get the best food.

I don't know when Senior Brother Gu will come back.

Fourteen walked quickly back to the small bamboo house, and knocked on the door lightly a few times, but there was no movement inside, so he knocked harder and harder.

Still no sound.

Could it be that something happened to Master?Fourteen became flustered, and immediately opened the door to go in, only to see Eucommia lying on the table, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Fourteen's heart was pounding, and he slowly moved over to try his breath, but luckily he was still alive, probably just fell asleep lying on the table, Fourteen heaved a sigh of relief and put the food box on the table.

It was already dawn, and the place near the window was not too dark, enough for Fourteen to see the details of Eucommia's face clearly.

In addition to the loose skin and the wrinkles on it, there are also patches of age spots.

And as soon as he got close to Eucommia, he could smell a bad smell in the air.Fourteen just started to think about what it smelled like when he heard a "poof", and he knew what it was like.

In fact, to be honest, this is still a bit disgusting, Fourteen's conditioned reflex wrinkled his face, although he immediately reacted and tried to put away the expression on his face, but he was still a child after all, so he couldn't do it very well.

At this moment, Eucommia was choked suddenly, woke up with a shiver, and coughed desperately, exhausted from coughing.

He has been sitting in a daze since last night until dawn today, occasionally drank a couple of sips of water from the bone cup, and finally managed to stabilize his mind. Not long ago, he actually fell asleep lying on the table, until he choked for some reason.

He subconsciously wanted to lick the only tooth left in his mouth, but found that it was gone. It turned out that it was the tooth that choked him just now.

His teeth are completely old.

Du Zhong was in a daze for a moment before he began to comfort himself. Fortunately, he swallowed it. If it entered the trachea, he would be suffocated to death by that tooth.

Then he also smelled the smell in the air, and he slowly raised his head, just in time to see Fourteen's not-so-good expression.

Du Zhong couldn't comfort himself no matter what this time.After he realized what it smelled like, he suddenly collapsed.

Why did he do this, why did he embarrass him so much? !

He looked away in a panic, looking around tremblingly, not knowing what to do.Seeing him like this, Shisi squeezed out a sweet smile and said dryly, "Master, should you eat something?"

What to eat? !Don't you smell this? !

... No, you smelled it, but you pretended not to know, but in fact you hated me in your heart, and you didn't even hide your expression.

Du Zhong has become more and more uneasy these days, and he has become more and more unable to restrain his emotions, but he has been suppressing for the last bit of his dignity.

But now he didn't even have the last trace of dignity, and his furious emotions gushed out like magma that had accumulated for many days. Speed, he stood up, grabbed the food box and threw it at Fourteen: "Do you hate me too?!"

"You all think I'm disgusting, don't you?! I know what they say about me behind my back, and you think so now, don't you! Get lost! I don't need your service!"

Du Zhong used to have a very good temper. Sometimes when some disciples or colleagues said bad things about him behind his back, he never got angry, but now he behaves like a bad-tempered old man.

The food box hit Fourteen's head with a "bang", and some hot porridge flowed all over his face, which made him let out a brief exclamation.

Fourteen didn't know where he had provoked Du Zhong. After shivering a few times, he suddenly remembered Gu Qingli's advice to drink more water before he left, and said, "I... I'll fetch some water for Master, please help me. drink……"

Drink Nima!I don't have a fever! What are you still staring at me, are you kidding me? !Are you happy to see me embarrassed?Du Zhong was even more angry, trembling all over, picked up the teapot and threw it over: "Get lost!"

Fourteen was afraid of making him angry, he didn't dare to hide, and he didn't dare to cry out too much pain, so he just squatted down and hurriedly put the pieces on the ground into the food box, and then retreated.

Du Zhong grabbed the bone cup left by Gu Qingli and was about to throw it out together, but he stopped suddenly as if he had realized it.

There will always be someone who does not dislike him, there will always be someone who does not dislike him... Du Zhong grasped the bone cup tightly and stroked it twice, then carefully put it back on the table.

It's just been more than three days, why hasn't Gu Qingli come back yet?You don't want to despise him, do you?Du Zhong nervously bit his fingers a few times, and became more anxious: "Why is no one coming to see me?!"

Fourteen was almost frightened and cried by his manic appearance: "Then... Shall I call Master Uncle here for Master?"

Du Zhong immediately became even more angry: "What is it called?! Let them see me like this!"

So what should he do?With his head full of fish porridge, Shisi choked up helplessly. He didn't understand what happened to his master.

In fact, not only Shisi didn't understand, Du Zhong didn't understand what he was doing either, but he just had an evil fire in his heart that had nowhere to vent, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he stomped his crutches, and shouted: "Where's Gu Qingli? ! Why don't you come back!"

Seeing his unreasonable old man appearance, Shisi still bite the bullet and said, "Gu...Senior Brother Gu must be back soon, maybe in the afternoon."

As soon as he heard that Gu Qingli might be back soon, Du Zhong suddenly calmed down, kept silent, and lowered his head to think seriously.

Unlike the previous two days, he is now clearly aware of what he looks like.

If Gu Qingli saw him like this when he came back, he would definitely dislike him, and he would definitely drag Gu Qingli down.

Du Zhong suddenly woke up from the inexplicable willfulness and unreasonable troubles, and put his crutches into his arms.

What if Gu Qingli came back?I have become like this now, with such a bad temper, and I can't take care of myself, isn't it just causing trouble to others?

Since Qingli was young, I have been so kind to him, so kind to him... In his heart, I must be a very good person, right?

If he sneaks away now and dies outside, the memory he will leave in everyone's hearts will still be his best appearance.

Du Zhong looked at Shisiyi who was about to cry, and a wave of guilt slowly spread in his heart.

What did he do just now?Fourteen actually didn't do anything, what the hell is he losing his temper?Du Zhong immediately whispered: "I'm sorry, I just... you know, sometimes people can't control themselves when they are old, and their emotions tend to be capricious."

Seeing that he had returned to his usual appearance, Shisi staggered over and threw himself into his arms, and couldn't hold back a "wow" from crying.

In fact, Du Zhong guessed that they had a hard time recently, and a disabled elder would definitely be ridiculed secretly.He should have faced it bravely, but now he is venting his anger on others.

He became more and more unreasonable, Du Zhong sighed, stretched out his hand to gently stroke the back of the child's head, and after a while, took out a Qiankun bag from his sleeve and handed it to him: "It's been hard for you these few days."

Fourteen raised his head and looked at him blankly: "What will Master do for me?"

Du Zhong smiled: "I want to leave Tianxuan for a while, and I will leave all my things to you."

Shisi hugged his thigh and said firmly, "I'm with Shizun!"

Du Zhong hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement, feeling a warmth in his heart slowly.As long as there are still people who care, it's not the most embarrassing thing.

After Fourteen was acquiesced, he immediately began to pack his luggage and prepare the carriage.

Everyone has been very busy recently, and no one has time to pay attention to what they are doing. By the afternoon, Shisi will take care of everything smoothly and can set off.

He walked into the bamboo house to wake Du Zhong, and said, "Master, it's ready."

Du Zhong woke up in a daze after saying "um", stretched out his hand to let Shisi help him out of the house, and got into the carriage he had prepared.

As soon as he got into the carriage, he felt something in his heart suddenly let go, as if the unbearable himself had finally left the spotlight, and his whole body was much calmer.

The groom flicked his whip, and they set off.Leaving Tianxuan, don't let people who know him see him becoming more and more unbearable.

Du Zhong locked himself in the house for several days, knowing nothing about what happened outside recently.

Several hours later, they approached the edge of the Tianxuan sect's territory. He lifted the curtain on the carriage and looked outside at disciple Wan Jian who would pass by Yujian quickly every tea time.

This is because the frequency of patrols has become more frequent. In the past, it was not possible to see a single person for most of the day in such a place that was about to leave Tianxuan.

When they were about to leave Tianxuan, they were even directly stopped by several disciples to stop the carriage.A few traces of spiritual consciousness quickly searched around in the carriage, and a disciple hesitated and said, "Elder Du? What are you going to do?"

Du Zhong raised his eyelids and took a look. Maybe he forgot or he really didn't meet him very often. He didn't recognize this disciple, so he ignored it.

Fourteen immediately said: "Yes, Master wants to go out for a few days."

"Elder Du, be careful when you go out." The disciple nodded, and they checked again that there was no suspicious person or thing in the carriage before leaving together with swords.

Although the Tianxuan faction didn't seal themselves up completely, this battle looked like a bug so don't even think about getting out.

It was probably because Qiong Jizi was determined to find out the traitors in the sect.

The carriage moved slowly again, no one stopped them this time, and the carriage drove out of the Tianxuan Sect very quickly.

Seeing that Du Zhong closed his eyes again and said nothing, Fourteen asked, "Where are we going, Master?"

"Whatever you want." Du Zhong said lightly, "You can go wherever you want."

Fourteen scratched his head and thought for a while: "I want to see the sea, Master, shall we go to see the sea?"

"Isn't it too far away?" Du Zhong laughed when he heard this. There is only one sea in this world, and it is between the two worlds of monsters, dividing this continent into two parts.The sea is extremely dangerous, it is a no-care zone, and there are often human cultivators and demon cultivators fighting here.

He had only seen it in books, so he didn't know if the so-called sea was the real sea he thought of.

"But go see it if you want." I just might not live to see it.

Fourteen smiled and showed a small dimple: "Then let's go."

Said to travel far, but Eucommia's physical condition simply couldn't bear it.

In the evening, they had to find a residential house to rest for the night, and it would take a long time, but Shisi didn't seem in a hurry at all.

In fact, whether the child really wanted to see the sea or casually told him to go to a farther place to trick him into living for two more days was hard to say, Du Zhong laughed.

The groom parked the carriage in front of a residential house, knocked on the door, and expressed his willingness to stay overnight to the person who answered the door.

Eucommia is now a little old man who can fall down at the first push, Shisi is still a child, the groom has no cultivation, and the three of them have no combat power at all, so they travel from carriage to clothes in a simple way, as simple as possible.

"Okay, please come in." The male owner of the residence didn't care about their poor looks at all, he glanced at them vigilantly through the crack of the door, and saw that they were just a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, so he opened the door and invited them in. Warmly greeted his wife and son and brought out food to entertain them.

In the Tianxuan School, Eucommia's aging is ridiculed and looked down upon by others, but in the eyes of ordinary people, this is nothing more than a normal phenomenon. Instead, they think that he is older and more experienced, and they respect him more.

Maybe he should have lived with mortals a long time ago, and this time it couldn't be more right to come out.

The host was chatting nonsense with them at the dinner table, when the hostess stepped out and interrupted them: "The room is ready, but there is only one room, do you mind?"

"Of course I don't mind, sorry to bother you."

The host's youngest son was hiding behind the table making crazy faces at this moment, trying to tease Fourteen, but Fourteen was not the kind of childish child, and he ignored it when he saw it.

The male host's family began to praise Shishi for being sensible, making him blush.

Early the next morning, they left some broken silver and were about to go on the road again. Du Zhong watched the family come out to send them off, and pursed his lips.

The current atmosphere of Tianxuan Sect is very wrong, they live so close to Tianxuan Sect, and they don't know what kind of fate awaits them, Du Zhong probably won't know the answer.

They are living people, their existence has their own meaning, and they should not just survive.

A ridiculous idea suddenly popped up in his mind, if he could survive, if he could watch Gu Qingli stand on the clouds, he hoped to leave more living space for these mortals.

...When a person is old, it is easy to hurt the spring and the autumn, Du Zhong retracted his gaze, and sat on the carriage with his eyes closed to rest his mind.

This day has passed and he has aged a lot, and he has a rotten smell on his body, which smells a bit like rotten apples. If Shisi hadn't been cleaning him up all the time, he might have been dirty and out of shape.

Many problems that old people would have appeared on him one by one. Du Zhong looked at the bronze mirror and sighed, it was even uglier than he imagined, but luckily he didn't insist on staying in Tianxuan to wait for death.

Don't drag others down, don't disgust others, don't bother others.

As soon as he thought of this, the carriage stopped suddenly.Du Zhong opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Before the groom had time to reply, Du Zhong felt something invisible swept across the carriage quickly, scaring him to sit up straight.

This is a trace of a monk's spiritual consciousness, and it is very powerful, and it is likely to be approaching the Nascent Soul Stage.

Du Zhong immediately opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out, and there was a very handsome young man Yujian blocking the front of the carriage.

The young man stood tall and steady on the slender sword, with his hands on his sides, his body was a bit dusty, but still outstanding, and he was looking at him with a calm expression.

Fourteen looked at the boy excitedly: "Brother Gu!"

It turned out that it was Gu Qingli who came after him, Du Zhong was a little surprised, how could he advance to the state so quickly?Then he turned his head away in embarrassment, and quickly pulled the car curtain to block himself.

Isn't he aging so fast, too.

Gu Qingli didn't let Du Zhong block his chance, he stood on the shaft of the carriage in an instant, waved his sword back into its sheath and pulled the curtain of the carriage, looked directly at Du Zhong, and asked calmly: "Master, where are you going?" where?"

Eucommia didn't dare to speak. When the old man spoke, he would saliva easily, which was ugly.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Gu Qingli said again: "Go back."

Du Zhong actually doesn't want to go back, it's fine outside, at least ordinary people don't look at him strangely, so they still don't speak.

Gu Qingli stared at him quietly for a moment, then suddenly said: "I have found a way to save Master."

Don't play tricks on him, it's no fun playing him.Du Zhong didn't believe that Gu Qingli could find a way to save him so quickly, don't bully him for not reading enough books, he has read the whole book "The Road to the Supreme Immortal".

The treasures that are higher than Jingmuguo and the spirit beast bone cup, not to mention whether Gu Qingli has a way to know, even if he knew, he would not be able to get it with his current strength.

Gu Qingli probably just wanted to trick him back first.

"Master?"

Du Zhong felt a little uncomfortable being stared at so directly by him, so he restrained himself and whispered: "I want to go outside for a walk."

"I'll take Master back." Gu Qingli walked into the carriage as if he didn't hear him, grabbed his arm, and pulled it hard as if trying to pull him up.

But the bones of the elderly are very fragile, and Eucommia immediately "hissed" in pain, and it was about to break.

Gu Qingli obviously didn't expect him to be so fragile, he was taken aback for a moment, and then took a few steps forward to support him and hug him.

Du Zhong was used to smelling the smell of rotten apples on his body these two days, and when Gu Qingli suddenly approached him, he felt the unique refreshing breath of young people.

He was afraid that the other party would also smell the rotten smell on his body, so he wanted to avoid it, but was still hugged by Gu Qingli.

Du Zhong froze for a moment, not daring to toss any more, and stretched himself cautiously.He was afraid that if he continued to struggle, he would have some physiological reactions unique to the elderly, making Gu Qingli so disgusted.

"I know what Master is worried about." Gu Qingli hugged the aging Du Zhong without even frowning. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "But I really found a way, Master believes in me."

Du Zhong didn't know what the other party meant by "knowing what you are worried about", do you know?I'm afraid you'll smell me and think I'm disgusting after seeing my rotten flesh.

I'm afraid of becoming a burden on your way forward, I'm afraid that I will rub your dirty body.

Du Zhong went through his own thoughts in his mind, and finally said frankly in a low voice: "I'm going back now... Isn't this a drag on you? You'd better let me find a place to live for the rest of my life."

Like the elephant in the legend of the elephant cemetery, Eucommia now wants to find a place to hide before dying.

"I heard that the master has a bad temper recently." Gu Qingli suddenly coaxed him in a low voice, "Didn't the master say that if one day he becomes a trembling, bad-tempered old man who likes to pull his pants, he will definitely rely on me Can't you get off your body? Master, don't worry, I won't kick Master down."

Du Zhong lowered his head and thought about it seriously for a moment, and found that he really said this shameless thing a long time ago, but it was only a joke at the time.

And he felt at the time that if such a day came, he would not bother anyone.

"Shall I take Master back?"

Du Zhong hesitated and raised his head to look at Gu Qingli, who was also looking at him, subconsciously trying to confirm whether the other party really didn't dislike him.

Look at me, I've become a piece of rotten meat, and I can't help you any more.

Gu Qingli and him looked at each other for a moment, then asked: "Shall I take Master back?"

Well, I will go back when I go back, who hasn't seen the world yet... Du Zhong looked away and didn't speak.

Gu Qingli turned around and asked Fourteen: "Can you go back by yourself?"

Fourteen nodded, and Gu Qingli said, "Then I'll take Master back first."

While he was speaking, Jiuxiao came out of the sheath with a buzzing sound. Gu Qingli hugged Eucommia vigorously, tapped the shaft of the chariot lightly with his toes, flew up, landed firmly on the slender sword, and flew away in an instant: "No I don't feel relieved to see Master go back with my own eyes."

The nauseated Eucommia almost spit it out, and there was a suffocating sound in his throat.Then he felt a soft spiritual power gently enveloping him, offsetting the discomfort for him.

There are only two people on the sword, and you don't need to look back to know who it is.Unexpectedly, this child is usually quiet, but he is actually quite gentle.

Gu Qingli Yujian was extremely fast, and took him back to the Tianxuan Sect in just half an hour.

As soon as the two approached the mountain protection formation, they were stopped by several disciples. After some questioning, they were allowed to enter Tianxuan after seeing that Gu Qingli could prove his identity.

It turns out that inspections are so strict now.

Gu Qingli took Du Zhong directly back to the small bamboo house in the Lingcao Hall. After Du Zhong was settled, he turned around and left without saying anything.

Du Zhong hurriedly called him: "Where are you going?"

"I have a way to save Master, trust me. I still have some things to do now, and I'll come back when I'm done." After finishing speaking, Gu Qingli didn't wait for him to ask questions, and left the Lingcao Hall quickly.

In fact, even if Du Zhong didn't believe that Gu Qingli could save him, he didn't have the energy to care about it at all. Du Zhong lay on his back on the bed and glanced at the door for a few times before he was too lazy to move.

It's good to eat and wait to die, lie down and wait to die.Du Zhong thought to himself.

However, Gu Qingli came back after finishing his work, but there was no sign of Du Zhong when he lay down and fell asleep.

It's easy to sleep for a long time when you are old. Du Zhong woke up many times, and I don't know how long I slept, but Gu Qingli still didn't come to call him.

The sky outside was slightly bright, and it was hard to tell whether it was day or night.He was sluggish all over, and was still hurting in many places, and he didn't want to move at all.Du Zhong contemplated for a while before calling out: "Qingli!"

No one responded, maybe he hasn't come back yet.

Du Zhong moved a bit, found a more comfortable position, and closed his eyes to rest for a while.

However, when he opened his eyes again, it was already dark, and he called again: "Qingli?"

Still no one answered, is it still there?What is this for?

Waking up this time, Du Zhong felt as if he had had enough sleep, and he felt strangely refreshed.

Like returning to the light, Du Zhong silently took out the mirror and looked at it, wondering if he had spent too much energy traveling all the way before, and now he looks 90 years old.

The time of death is approaching.

He couldn't fall asleep, so he tapped the back of his hand slowly with his fingertips, secretly counting the time in his heart.Sixty times a minute, and when he counted to four thousand, he called Gu Qingli's name once, but no one answered.

Counting these boring numbers made people feel more and more hopeless, but he stayed up until dawn.Gu Qingli probably didn't come back overnight.

After dawn, there was a lot of noise outside, and Du Zhong yelled again after listening for a while, and this time someone finally answered.

But it wasn't Gu Qingli but Fourteen. Fourteen hurriedly opened the door and walked in front of Du Zhong's couch: "Master, I was delayed on the road, and I just returned to Tianxuan today. There are several senior brothers surrounded by Senior Brother Gu." Outside the door, it is said that it is not close to Senior Brother Gu's room door."

Du Zhong reacted for a while before asking: "...How many days have you been using it since you came back?"

"Two days."

two days?He slept for two days, and Gu Qingli never came back?

Du Zhong straightened his arms and struggled to sit up: "Help me over quickly."

Fourteen obediently picked up the crutch and handed it to Du Zhong, supported Du Zhong's other arm, helped him stand up, and walked out of the room slowly.

There were indeed several disciples around outside, chirping about something.

Under Fourteen's guidance, he stretched out his hand to touch the border that was not close, and as soon as he put his hand on it, he was bounced away.

Du Zhong was surprised for a moment, and stretched out his hand to touch it tentatively again, but was bounced away again.

This is an enchantment, judging from the strength of bouncing his hand away, it is very powerful.

Du Zhong twisted his fingers and retracted his hand.

This barrier can only be set up by Gu Qingli, he must be doing something in it that cannot be disturbed and does not want others to know.

Du Zhong glanced around the group of disciples, all of whom were handyman disciples of the Lingcao Hall, he coughed lightly and stomped his cane, and shouted: "What are you doing, don't you have a job?! Go back quickly, don't hang around here! "

This was the first time he showed his face in front of his disciples after he became like this. The disciples looked at him for a while but didn't realize it. Fourteen followed suit and scolded: "Didn't you hear what Master said? Go away!"

Although they were talking about Du Zhong behind their backs, they didn't dare to disobey him in person. This time, even though they saw Du Zhong turning into an old man, they subconsciously carried out what he said.

Du Zhong stopped them again: "Don't talk nonsense, do you understand?"

The disciples immediately responded and left quickly.

Du Zhong looked at Gu Qingli's door for a moment, then reached out and touched it a few times, all of which were bounced back immediately.He said to Shishi: "Go and bring me a chair, I want to stay here."

Fourteen immediately went into the room, moved a chair outside Du Zhong's room, and put a cushion on it, and said, "Master, come and sit."

Du Zhong stared at the door of Gu Qingli's room and nodded, and then walked over tremblingly and sat down.

Seeing his worried look, Shisi asked, "Do you want to invite an uncle?"

Du Zhong waved his hand: "No, don't tell anyone."

Now that the Tianxuan Sect patrols so frequently, it is unlikely that someone will sneak in just to kill a little-known ordinary disciple, and Gu Qingli also said before that he has something to do, so it doesn't look like he is unsure. It should still be safe.

And the enchantment he set up is so powerful, it must be because the matter cannot be known by others, so he has prepared so well.

Du Zhong was unable to help Gu Qingli now, so he could only hold his crutches and sit outside to guard.

He is now in his 90s and may die anytime today.He didn't dare to go into the room and lie down, for he was afraid that he would die on the couch so silently.So don't let him die in peace.
