Gu Liuyan was woken up by the rain behind the broken window.
The window was torn open, and ghosts were kneeling beside the bed. The smell of blood on the floor was a clear indication of what was happening in this place.
It was not yet dawn. Gu Daiyan struggled to support half of his body, but was gently pressed down by the ghost on his shoulder: "Please do not move, they are not friendly."
Outside the window, a snow-white figure stood amidst the pouring rain. The long sword in his hand slashed through the bloody water, but that person remained unmoving. His gaze was filled with fear as he stared at Gu Daiyan, but it was not killing intent.
Gu Liuyan couldn't even lift his finger. He was shocked, just who had the ability to poison her?!
Just when she was thinking of a way to find the antidote, the white shadow outside the door suddenly disappeared without a trace. Phantom Shadow didn't have any intention of chasing after it, he only looked at the broken window and hugged the weak Gu Pingyan with a dark expression.
"I can't sleep here anymore." He took out an oil-paper umbrella and placed it on his shoulder as he escorted Gu Danyan to his mother-in-law's room next door.
Grandma and Madam Zou were both sleeping soundly, as if the fight just now hadn't disturbed them at all.
Ghastly Bow bent down and helped her take the pill to eat. Only then did Gu Daiyan have the strength to sit up and look at Ghastly Bow: "What happened?"
"That person wanted to take you away. It's a move from the martial arts world. It should be from the Two Elements of Creation School. " Ghosts lowered their voice and said.
Originally, he wanted to continue listening to his explanation, but his eyes narrowed and he signaled her to be silent. Without saying anything, he lifted her up and brought her all the way to a run-down temple five miles away in the middle of the night's rain.
There was no one in the broken temple. After Gu Danyan was put down by the ghost, he helped to bandage the wound on Gu Shenwei's shoulder familiarly.
The reason he brought her here was that he could protect her with his eyes and on the other hand, he would not implicate the people of Changping Village.
"What is the Two Elements of Creation Formation?" Gu Daiyan glanced at the fire that had just been lit. It had warmed up a lot.
"The Two Elements of Creation School is very similar to Mirage, but the only difference is that they do not provoke the government, do not kill officials, and do not kill royalty. More importantly, not only do they not kill, they can also help officials smuggle goods, and even help them deal with the assassination." After saying this in a soft voice, the ghost did make the fire much stronger. After all, both their clothes were completely drenched.
Gu Liuyan was even more confused: "Aren't I from the royal family?" Furthermore, I have nothing to do with the martial arts world. "
"He didn't have any intention of killing you. He only wanted to take you away in the dark. His martial arts weren't high, but I had a feeling that he had a lot of underhanded methods."
"Indeed. Do you know what caused your wound?" Gu Liuyan suddenly sneered.
"It seems to be a concealed weapon?" Ghost scratched his head. He really didn't notice, and by the time he managed to react, he was already injured.
Gu Daiyan raised his hand and took out a small blade covered in blood. The few small blades were wrapped in threads, and the ghosts and ghosts weren't afraid of pain. Gu Daiyan moved carefully, but neatly took them out.
How could such a thing be thrown out?
People with good skills like you will definitely avoid it, but I believe they won't be able to dodge too far. However, with this thing, they will definitely be able to harm you. Gu Danyan threw it into the fire with a sullen face and continued: "And he even poisoned it."
The ghost swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Just who had such terrifying thoughts?
Fortunately, Gu Daiyan hadn't even slept and had only fed him some things. He was a bit helpless: "This poison isn't overbearing at all, it's really strange."
"Why?" It was even weirder for ghosts to sit by the fire with their backs bare.
"They could have drugged me without anyone noticing, yet they used such a small amount of paralyzing poison on you. If it weren't for you always following by Duan Chengxuan's side and always wearing a black cloth, I would even suspect that they were here to take your life." Gu Mingyan shrunk her neck and stretched out her hand to roast the fire.
Well, there's no need to sleep tonight.
He didn't know where the man in white came from nor did he know his purpose in coming here.
Phantom Shadow was still extremely worried, but Gu Daiyan clapped his hands: "No way, we have to go back quickly."
"Maybe the man in white hasn't left yet." Phantom shook his head.
"If you don't fix the windows, your mother and mother-in-law will definitely be worried." Gu Daiyan dragged him and ran back. No matter how many ghosts tried to persuade him, Gu Daiyan refused to listen. He only said that his mother-in-law and mistress were the biggest ones.
The two of them repaired the window through the rain. At the very least, they did not look like they were broken.
He stayed in Changping Village for two whole days.
On the night of the last day, Grandma died on the bed with a plate of pastries by her side.
Four hours later, the sky was still bright, and ghosts and monsters were still standing guard by the bed. Madam Zou had left behind a message, saying, "Immortal passed away."
The ghost personally buried Madam Zou on the mountainside next to the village. Gu Daiyan carved a tombstone for Madam Zou and Granny.
From beginning to end, not a single tear fell.
After he kowtowed, Gui Spirit only walked slowly to Gu Liu Yan's side and said softly: "Your Royal Highness, I will follow you to Yue Shan city."
Gu Danyan looked at the ghost, who was still dressed in black. He wasn't wearing mourning clothes at all.
"You are already free. You don't need to follow me." Gu Danyan looked at him helplessly: "It's fine if you change your name or travel around. You don't have to stay by my side anymore."
With that, Gu Daiyan walked down the mountain at a steady pace. The corners of her clothes were muddy and there were no footsteps from behind. She was relieved too.
People should only live for themselves in this life.
But the next moment, she felt her feet leave the ground and she was already in ghost's embrace. Her head lightly touched his chest, and a ghostly chuckle came from above: "You have to take responsibility for me, you said that you will take care of me, my master."
Gu Liuyan opened his eyes wide and looked at him: "You're lying to me."
"Yeah." Ghosts even admitted it immediately.
Gu Danyan had wanted to tease him a little as usual, but then she saw the loneliness in the ghost's eyes.
His family had all left.
Finally, the teasing words were stuck in his throat. Gu Pingyan looked at the village of Changping at the foot of the mountain and laughed softly: "Grandma has to live another day."
"Right." Phantom nodded, slowed down, and slowly carried the person in his arms down the mountain.
They were both silent, the only sounds to be heard were the rustling of leaves and the sound of water dripping onto the ground.
Gu Dai Yan was still staring at the village, as if she didn't feel the tears on her shoulders. It was only when they were almost to the village entrance that she thought of something and said softly: "When we go back, I will throw Qing Dai out and start a new door."
"Yes, I will be accompanying you in her place." Phantom nodded.
"Then I'll have to suffer for the rest of my life." Gu Xuan Yan suddenly laughed out loud: "You're not stupid."
