Gu Doctor dragged Qing Ming to the outermost parts of South City, deeper into the mountains. Only then did he stop and let Qing Ming go.
"Master, what happened? Why did you run away?"
Although Qingming was young, but in terms of leg strength, he couldn't outrun Gu Doctor.
"Not running?" Waiting to be caught! "
Gu Doctor found an uncle whose roots had already sprouted out of the ground and sat down, gasping for breath. It seemed that running so far in one breath had already reached the limits of his body.
"Capture? Master, who dares to capture you? "
When Qing Ming heard this, he hurriedly jumped up from the ground. His face was full of anger and excitement.
How could I have known that the old man was still sleeping, when he suddenly sensed a vicious aura not far away from him, he hurriedly got up from the bed, did not even bother to put on his clothes, and flipped over the courtyard wall to hide. As expected, a group of assassins entered the temple, and stayed there for two hours before leaving, just to be safe, I sneaked back in in the middle of the night, and not only saw the whole temple smashed into a mess, but also saw an old man sitting in the middle of the front yard sneering at me.
Gu Doctor's words were spoken without panting, it was completed in one breath, but it was so loud that it made Qing Ming's heart jump.
"Master, could he be your enemy when you were young?"
Other than this, Qing Ming could not think of anything else. Although the Gu Doctor's Gu Arts was impressive, other than the people from the Southern Wilderness who believed it without a doubt, people from other places despised it.
"I won't. Although I'm not a good person, I've never done anything that goes against heaven and earth, nor do I have any enmity with anyone!"
As soon as the clear words came out, the Gu Doctor immediately shook his head and denied it.
"Then what do we do, Master, we can't just hide here forever, right?"
Qing Ming looked at the dense forest. Even though it was noon, the forest was still shrouded in layers of white fog, not to mention the countless poisonous fog and swamps.
Gu Doctor squinted his eyes slightly. He did not answer Qingming's question, but tore a blade of grass off the ground and held it in his hand as he stroked it.
He still vividly remembered that night when the Green Flower Temple was being covered in smoke, and that woman had also begun to become clearer in his mind.
"Qingming, there's something Master has never told you!"
Gu Doctor's expression immediately turned serious. Qing Ming looked at him in surprise.
"Qingming, Master is now eighty-nine, logically speaking, he should have gone to report to King Yama a long time ago, but Master isn't willing, Master doesn't want to lose the Gu Arts in his body, although you work hard, Master knows that you don't like the Gu Arts at all, right now, your Senior Sister has already surpassed Lan in talent, Master doesn't have any regrets!"
"Master? What's the matter with you? "
The atmosphere suddenly became sad. Qing Ming suddenly felt scared.
"Don't interrupt, I heard Master say that Master has studied the Gu Arts in his lifetime, the most heaven-defying one of them was called Longevity Gu, which is also why I'm nearing 90, but my body condition is still that of a young man. Master Longevity Gu did not teach her, and it's not that I don't trust her, but to protect her.
"Then why did you tell me that, Master?"
His clear voice was weak, not because he felt that the Gu Doctor did not want to protect him.
"Because this is the blood and sweat of my life, I don't want it to be lost, so you must remember what my master said. If one day your senior sister stands at the peak of power in this world, you can go and tell her!"
"En, Master, you said that Qingming will remember it!"
The clear voice was choked with sobs. He didn't know why, but he had a nagging feeling that Gu Doctor was giving away his last words.
Seeing Qing Ming's obedient look, Gu Doctor felt both gratified and regretful. Then he started to ramble on.
An hour later, the Gu Doctor finished speaking and took out a black wooden box from his bosom. Opening the box, a sweet and fragrant aroma wafted in the air, and after a moment, a golden worm the size of a thumb crawled out of the Gu Doctor's body and into the black wooden box that was filled with the fragrant aroma.
"This, is the Longevity Gu's mother Gu. No matter what, you cannot lose it, otherwise, you and your senior sister's lives will be in danger!"
"Master, you mean …?"
Qing Ming looked up at Gu Doctor with an expression of disbelief.
"That's right, you and Eleventh, both have Longevity Gu planted in them!"
After the mother Gu climbed into the wooden box, Gu Doctor's expression became extremely tired. Even his originally filled with energy voice had aged, but after Qingming guessed the answer, his eyes became clear and bright.
However, this moment of liveliness was just a flash in the pan. Gu Doctor leaned weakly against the tree, breathing heavily.
"Master, master, what happened to you?"
Qing Ming quickly went forward and held Gu Doctor on his shoulder, continuously helping him calm his back.
"No, no matter, Qingming, Ming, Master can, live, live, this, age, has, already, earned, earned, gotten, grabbed, captured, done, done, oneself, no, don't want, do, do, do, do, fall, not, not, be, long, long, long, underground, in pain, pain, pain …"
Gu Doctor leaned on Qing Ming's shoulder, exhaling too much, inhaling too little, making it difficult for him to speak. He hadn't even finished speaking before he had already closed his eyes completely.
"Master …"
A clear and sad sound broke the silence in the forest, and a flock of birds flew out of the trees.
In the Green Flower Temple, dozens of masked men in black kneeled in front of a middle-aged man with a pair of dark eyes.
"Reporting to master, the villagers we bribed saw with our own eyes that Gu Doctor had indeed come back this morning!"
The black clothed man at the bottom of the group had a assured expression on his face, but after watching for almost a day, they had yet to see the figure of the Gu Doctor, and couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
"Relax, if Gu Shiyi does not come back, Gu Doctor will not leave this place, and will patiently wait for him. I do not believe that I cannot capture him alive!"
The middle-aged man looked indifferent, and waved his hand at his subordinate. If he did not believe that Gu Doctor was still around, he would not have stayed in South City for so long.
As a person, the thing he lacked the most was time. They had already waited for hundreds of years.
In the depths of the forest, Qing Ming knelt in front of Gu Doctor's grave expressionlessly. It had already been a day and a night, and after dawn, he would directly traverse the forest, passing through this natural chasm that was impassable to Great Xia and Great Xia. He would take a shortcut and head towards the Great Yu to look for Gu Shiyi.
