Zhongnan Mountain.

Now Zhang Mingtuo and his old lover Liu Xihua chose a secluded hillside, lived together in a hut, and lived a life like a hermit.

It has to be said that of course Zhang Mingtuo would not engage in men's farming and women's weaving, let alone sit and eat, because his savings are enough to feed him to the generation of his great-great-grandson.

In the evening, the little Taoist nun Nianxin came to Zhang Mingtuo's house with a wine jar in her arms.

The little nun Nianxin saw the door was open, so she opened her mouth and shouted: "Grandpa Zhang, Grandma Liu, my master dug up some jars of old wine that were buried before today, and he asked me to send you one."

"Okay, Old Taoist Qiu still has a conscience." Zhang Mingtuo walked out of the vegetable garden in the backyard with his trousers on his arms, and said with a smile, "Nian Xin, why don't we have dinner at Grandpa Zhang's place?"

The little Taoist girl Nian Xin shook her head: "No. Mother is still waiting for me to go back."

"Okay. Then you go."

Zhang Mingtuo took the wine jar, raised his eyes and suddenly saw a tall man in a burqa appearing in front of him, so he quickly sent the little Taoist nun back.

The little nun Nianxin gave the tall man a strange look, but found that he couldn't see his face clearly at all, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and left.

"Jielu is in a human environment, without the noise of cars and horses. It's such a good place, and it's such a good life."

The man in the burqa had a faint face, but his voice was very hearty: "Is this wine specially prepared for me?"

"Then don't think about it."

Zhang Mingtuo obviously recognized the person, but he didn't have a good face: "You don't stay in southern Xinjiang, you dare to run out, aren't you afraid of death?"

"The southern border Gu land has trapped me for more than forty years, and that's enough."

The man in the burqa sat down on the stone bench in front of the house, and with a casual hook, he hooked the wine jar Zhang Mingtuo was holding across the air.

With a quick slap, the mud seal fell off, and the rich and mellow aroma of wine wafted away in an instant.

"Well, this taste is good enough. It has been buried for at least sixty years." The man in the burqa was not polite at all, he lifted the edge of the altar and poured it into his mouth, "It's cool, it's so cool."

Zhang Mingtuo stood with his hands behind his sleeves and watched the man in the burqa drink a special drink without any reaction.

"Ming Tuo, who is this person?" Liu Xi asked worriedly as she came out of the room.

Zhang Mingtuo waved his hand, and said lightly: "An old acquaintance, it's none of your business here, go into the house."

"Or..."

Liu Xihua was worried and said.

But before she finished speaking, Zhang Mingtuo interrupted her, and softly reprimanded: "Let you enter the room, don't dawdle, don't you listen to my words?"

"Then be careful." Liu Xihua pursed her lips, but decided to do it first.

Here, the man in the burqa had already drank half of the wine jar. He put the wine jar on the stone table and looked at Zhang Mingtuo: "It's rare to find a woman, and she looks pretty good."

"Okay, you're not here to catch up on the old days, are you?" Zhang Mingtuo suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and asked lightly: "If you have something to say, just talk about it, don't explain it away."

The man in the burqa shook his head, and said with some disappointment: "Zhang Mingtuo, how can we say that we have been friends for nearly forty years, why are we so indifferent to old friends?"

Zhang Mingtuo said: "Don't get close, you and I only met forty years ago, and we don't have any friendship."

"Okay. Since you don't recognize this friendship, let's talk about a deal." The man in the burqa looked at the sky and decided to get straight to the point: "Do you still remember that forty years ago, you promised a deal?" thing?"

"You also said it was forty years ago, so you definitely don't remember it." Zhang Mingtuo pretended to be confused: "I have dementia now, and I can't remember many things clearly."

"Hehe, you're pretending to be confused, aren't you?" The man in the burqa broke through and said, "Forty years ago, your master took you to the Gu land, don't you remember?"

"You and Alan, the rising star in the killer world at that time, and Lu Ren, the leader of the secret group, also met there, don't you remember?"

"Also, your first love is still in Gu Land, don't you remember?"

"..."

Zhang Mingtuo saw that he was showing his madness while talking, probably because of the alcohol, so he couldn't help but said in a cold voice: "Have you finished?"

"It's almost there." The man in the burqa sighed, "I haven't been out for forty years, you should be considerate."

Zhang Mingtuo didn't have the patience to listen to his nonsense, so he asked again: "What exactly do you want from me?"

"I would like to invite you to visit the Gu land." The man in the burqa said in a sleepy tone: "Your master is still there, didn't you feel guilty at all when you left him there?"

Zhang Mingtuo snorted coldly: "That's his own fault, why should I feel guilty?"

"I heard that you also have a disciple now." The burqa man couldn't help but sneer: "If one day, he also betrays you and abandons you when you are most difficult, do you think it is retribution?"

Zhang Mingtuo laughed: "This kind of thing can't happen."

"It seems that you value your apprentice very much." The man in the burqa chuckled lightly, and then said: "Coincidentally, it just so happens that she is interested in your apprentice now, and plans to invite him to Gu Land to have a look. "

"Hehe, then she is seeking her own death!" Zhang Mingtuo said with a sneer.

The man in the burqa showed a surprised look: "Aren't you worried?"

"That kid is an evildoer." Zhang Mingtuo sneered, and said disapprovingly: "It's you who should be worried. The Gu clan that has been passed down for nearly ten thousand years is probably about to perish."

"Hahahaha." The man in the burqa laughed wildly, pointed at Zhang Mingtuo and said, "Your master is crazy, and you are even crazier. I think your apprentice must be even crazier than you!"

Zhang Mingtuo said lightly: "You should have sent someone to contact him, didn't you get feedback on the result?"

"Indeed, someone has been sent there." The man in the burqa suppressed his smile, "There is no response yet, which means that your apprentice has either been subdued and taken to the Gu land, or has been eliminated."

"I think you just said it the wrong way." Zhang Mingtuo shook his head, not without admonition: "You shouldn't provoke that demon king, he is very lazy, but he also holds grudges. Now that you have done it, then I advise you It’s better to go back early and prepare for the funeral.”

The man in the burqa turned cold: "It seems that you don't plan to go back with me?"

"What does it mean to go back?" Zhang Mingtuo said coldly, "I have nothing to do with it, and you may not be able to go back."

The man in the burqa showed a puzzled look on his face: "What do you mean?"

"You'll know when you look back." Zhang Mingtuo shrugged sympathetically.

The man in the burqa suddenly changed his face and turned his head, his eyes involuntarily widened: "How could you..."

"You idiot is plotting against me?" Xia Tian stood on the stone by the roadside with a loose expression on his face, "Master, why do you always know this kind of idiot who hides his head and shows his tail?"

Zhang Mingtuo glanced at Xia Tian, ​​and said casually: "Don't open your mouth and shut up, you are an idiot, be more polite when speaking."

"You are Zhang Mingtuo's apprentice?" The burqa man also recovered from his shock, "Where is Qingteng? How did you get rid of him?"

"Get rid of it?" Xia Tian curled his lips: "That idiot has already been killed by me."

The man in the burqa sneered, pointed at Xia Tian and said to Zhang Mingtuo: "You ghost doctors are of the same line, and you are as crazy as you are one by one. Ivy has no roots, and it is immortal."

Xia Tian said with a grin: "Coincidentally, I like to kill things that are immortal."

"Forget it." The burqa man didn't bother to worry so much, and said lightly: "Since your master and apprentice are here, then come with me."

Xia Tian looked at Zhang Mingtuo: "Master, where does this idiot want to take you?"

"Traveling in southern Xinjiang, are you going?" Zhang Mingtuo said angrily.

"Southern Xinjiang, the Tianshan Mountain side?" Xia Tian asked.

"No." Zhang Mingtuo replied: "Southwest, Gu land."

"Oh." Xia Tian nodded, but did not refuse: "Very good, the hometown of little long-legged girl and little Yiyi's wife is also there, and it's not too far away."

Zhang Mingtuo said angrily: "If you want to go, then you can go, anyway, I won't go again."

Xia Tian blinked: "Master, have you been there before?"

"None of your business." Zhang Mingtuo didn't bother to answer: "If you want to go, then go by yourself. I still want to spend my old age in Zhongnanshan."

"Master and apprentice, one of you can go." The burqa man felt that Xia Tian was very cooperative, and said with a smile: "Anyway, for the medical school, at least two people from each school must go to the Gu land."

"Two people?" Xia Tian tilted his head: "Master, did you secretly have an illegitimate child?"

Zhang Mingtuo glared at Xia Tian: "You have an illegitimate child!"

Xia Tian asked with some doubts: "Then if you don't go, I will go alone, why are there two people?"

The man in the burqa smiled and said, "Hehe, Zhang Mingtuo, it seems that you didn't tell your apprentice about the ghost doctor."

"There is nothing to say." Zhang Mingtuo said unhappily: "It's not about Guangzong Yaozong. Although Xia Tian is my apprentice, it has nothing to do with the ghost doctor."

The man in the burqa laughed: "That's not up to you."

"Master, what story did you hide and didn't tell me?" Xia Tian said with some lack of interest: "But forget it, I don't like to hear it if you tell it."

"Do you know that you also have a master, who is your master's master." The burqa man explained with a smile: "Forty years ago, they encountered something in the Gu land, and your master directly put him His master threw it on the spot, but he ran out, do you think he did the right thing?"

"Yes, what's wrong." Xia Tian yawned.

The man in the burqa was stunned: "You actually said you did it right?"

"I know who Master is." Xia Tian said casually: "Since he left that master and escaped by himself, it means that Master must be a waste and not a good person."

"Why do you make such a definition!" The man in the burqa shouted angrily: "You haven't even met your ancestor, and you just opened your mouth to come here. It seems that you are also a thief who deceives the master and destroys the ancestor!"

Xia Tian was too lazy to say anything, but said to Zhang Mingtuo: "Master, if this idiot has nothing to do with you, then I will kill him."

Zhang Mingtuo nodded: "Then get rid of it."
