Chapter 132 Chapter 132 is the only genuine version...
It was indeed Changfeng. Gu Zhizhuo's phoenix eyes narrowed, a sharp gleam flashing across them.
She thought of her father's head in the wooden box, and the talisman on the box. The talisman on it was like dried blood, deeply engraved in her eyes and soul.
A strong sense of resentment surged up from my heart.
She stroked the horse's back with her hand.
Weapons cannot be brought into the palace, but there is a crossbow in the jade lion's backpack.
"Young lady," Changfeng said, standing high on the wall. He flicked his whisk, his sleeves rustling in the wind, giving him the air of a master. "The so-called destiny is the will of heaven. From ancient times to the present, those who defy heaven and change their fate will only suffer the pain of death and the annihilation of their spiritual power."
"Don't force what's not yours."
His voice was deep, and even though he wasn't shouting, it still reached Gu Zhizhuo's ears clearly.
Gu Zhizhuo's red lips moved slightly, and she looked up at him, sneering and spitting out two words: "Pretentious."
Changfeng felt obvious hostility from her.
He put away his compassionate smile, and Gu Zhizhuo's figure was reflected in his gaze.
The girl had a hateful look in her eyes, and her face, as proud as the sun, was filled with arrogance. The bloody aura lingering around her was boiling rapidly, as if it was about to burn.
Chang Feng gripped his whisk tightly, his heart aching as he asked, "Young lady, do you have a grudge against me?"
hatred?
Does a blood feud count? Gu Zhizhuo's heart was boiling with anger, and hatred was almost swallowing up her sanity.
She reached into her backpack, her fingers touched the cold crossbow, and her five fingers slowly closed.
"Meow~"
A black tabby cat jumped out from somewhere and called out shrilly at Gu Zhizhuo's feet.
Its voice was filled with unprecedented joy. It jumped and circled around her feet, excitedly rubbing its furry little head against her skirt, and looked up at her with its beautiful golden cat eyes without blinking.
"Meow~"
Shen Mao encouraged eagerly, calling out softly and delicately.
Gu Zhizhuo shuddered.
She closed her eyes for just a few breaths, and when she opened them again, her eyes were like pools, bright and clear.
She put four fingers together, raised them upwards, and pointed at Changfeng.
Gu Zhizhuo smiled with his lips curved, his eyes icy cold: "Master Changfeng, I counted with my fingers, and that's the person who died."
She used her hand as a blade and swung it down towards the wind.
"It will be you."
Changfeng's pupils shrank. His five senses were extremely sharp, and he could even feel a cold light coming towards him.
The wind blew the silver strands of the whisk, and Changfeng said unhappily, "I'm trying to persuade you with kind words..."
"roll!"
Chang Fengqi laughed. He had been a Taoist since he was young, but he had never seen such an arrogant and unreasonable person.
To defy fate, one must sacrifice the blood of a city to avoid karma. This little girl tried to bear the wrath of heaven with her own flesh and blood, but she probably won't live long.
As a person who has attained enlightenment, I will not bother with her.
"Meow."
The tabby cat leaped onto the horse's back and coquettishly rubbed and bit Gu Zhizhuo's hand.
"Bad cat." Gu Zhizhuo tapped its wet little nose, "Don't encourage it, do you hear me?" Gu Zhizhuo smiled and restrained the hostility around him.
"Meow~"
The tabby cat drooped its ears in disappointment, pretending nothing had happened. It rubbed its claws on the leather of the saddle several times to express its dissatisfaction.
The jade lion turned its head and snorted at it.
"Bad cat."
Gu Zhizhuo patted its little head and asked, "Where is your master?"
"You're running around all day, are you planning to abandon your owner? Why don't you come to my house and I'll take care of you."
"Meow?"
The tabby cat stopped when it heard that, with traces of leather still hooked on its pointed nails.
It tilted its head, as if hesitating.
An extremely unhappy voice suddenly sounded: "Chen Mao, come back."
"Meow."
The cat shook its ears and was about to jump down, but Gu Zhizhuo grabbed its belly, picked it up and held it in his arms, and walked towards the luxurious carriage diagonally opposite.
There were four glazed lanterns hanging on the front and back of the carriage, and Jinyiwei stood on the side. Sheng Jiang sat on the carriage, looking at her expressionlessly.
"Master Governor."
Gu Zhizhuo walked towards the carriage and handed the tabby cat in through the window.
Shen Xu didn't take it, and let the cat jump off her hand by itself, rolling around on the mat in the carriage. When it rolled to Shen Xu's feet, Shen Xu kicked it impatiently, and it rolled to the other side.
The cat meowed with delight and rolled over to urge him to kick again.
"You want to raise it?" Chen Xu obviously heard what she just said. He squinted at her and said disdainfully, "If you want it, take it away."
"Are you serious?"
Shen Xu picked up the cat by the scruff of its neck and threw it to Gu Zhizhuo: "I'm so annoyed."
After a cold snort, he said to Sheng Jiang: "Let's go."
Sheng Jiang hesitated for a moment, secretly waved to the coachman, and the carriage did not move.
Cat Shen jumped off Gu Zhizhuo's hand without hesitation and threw himself into Shen Xu's arms, meowing at him stickyly, rubbing his head against him and then rubbing his tail against him.
Sheng Jiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
Looking back at the few days that the big girl cat took away, their lives were extremely difficult. They would be scolded even for breathing, and they didn't dare to take their left foot first when walking.
If Miss Gu gets carried away again, they will definitely be finished.
Gu Zhizhuo leaned his arms against the car window and asked with a smile, "Master, can I have a glass of wine?"
"Are you born in the year of the dog?" I can smell it.
Gu Zhizhuo:?
Chen Xu took out a gilded and jewel-inlaid wine pot from the lower layer of the coffee table, stuffed it into her hand, and threw a clean cup.
Gu Zhizhuo poured himself a glass and drank it all in one gulp.
The strong aroma of wine hits your nose, but when you drink it, there is no burning feeling at all. Instead, it is unexpectedly refreshing, with a light aroma of wine and fruit.
Delicious.
She poured another glass and drank it in one gulp.
The wine tasted sweet at first, but had a strong aftertaste. Not long after drinking it, Gu Zhizhuo felt dizzy.
She took out a mint sachet and put it under her nose, sniffing it, and immediately felt refreshed.
When Chen Xu looked up at her again, the whole pot of wine had been finished. She asked cheerfully, "This wine is good. Where did you buy it?"
Shen Xu lifted the wine jug, and sure enough, it was empty. He stared at her in disbelief, the halo of the glass lamp reflected on the cinnabar mole at the corner of his eye, making him look even more charming and attractive.
"Are you a ghost?"
"What?" Sometimes a dog, sometimes a ghost, "I'm a tiger."
"drunkard."
Gu Zhizhuo chuckled, and she returned the wine glass to her: "Thank you."
After drinking, I finally felt better and my chest wasn't as stuffy.
"Shall I tell you your fortune?" Gu Zhizhuo took out a compass from his sleeve. "Thank you for the wine."
"No need." Chen Xu said calmly, his voice soft and feminine, "I don't believe in fate."
He was still holding the wine jug in his hand and was about to pour himself a glass when he remembered that the wine was all gone. Shen Xu's flawless face was full of annoyance and he threw the wine jug back.
Gu Zhizhuo was wiping the compass with a handkerchief when he suddenly asked, "Anyone got a grudge?"
She was stunned for a moment, then realized he was asking about Changfeng, and said frankly: "Yes. This Taoist priest is really bad."
After drinking a pot of wine, when talking about Changfeng again, Gu Zhizhuo's mood had calmed down. She looked back and saw that the city wall was empty.
Chen Xu tapped the carriage with his fingers and urged, "Keep talking."
"say what?"
Talk about hatred, or...
According to her understanding, Shen Xu is the person who hates meddling in other people's affairs the most.
She suddenly thought and asked, "Master, do you recognize him?"
"Looks familiar." Chen Xu paused and said hesitantly, "I seem to have seen it somewhere."
"Has the Governor ever been to Western Xinjiang?"
Shen Xu shook his head.
After escaping from Yongzhou, he came to the capital. After that, he could not leave the capital without an imperial edict, and he never went anywhere else in his life.
However, the Taoist priest did look familiar to him, a familiarity that was disgusting.
Shen Xu exuded displeasure, and Sheng Jiang shuddered when he caught a glimpse of him. Sometimes, he truly admired Miss Gu. She had so much to say to her master, and she wasn't scared away.
Gu Zhizhuo clasped his fingers together, leaned against the car window, and told him what he knew: "He is from the Shangxu Monastery in the Western Frontier, and his Taoist name is Changfeng. I don't know much about him, but I do know that he is extremely skilled in a spell called the Zhuyin Curse, and the Emperor suffered a loss from it this time. Oh, and he should have been invited to the capital by the Prince of Jin."
Shen Xu nodded. Prince Jin had mentioned earlier that he had invited a Taoist priest.
"Go check."
Shen Xu said casually, and Sheng Jiang bowed in agreement.
"I want one too." Gu Zhizhuo pointed at himself and said with a smile, "Master Sheng, after you finish your research, give me a copy as well."
She's really not shy. Sheng Jiang glared at him. Besides her, there was no one else in the capital who dared to ask for something from the Jinyiwei so casually. Seeing that Chen Xu didn't say anything, Sheng Jiang replied sullenly, "Yes."
"Master, do you really not want a fortune?" Gu Zhizhuo shook the compass in his hand and said with a smile, "It's very accurate."
"You can go now."
"Meow."
Shen Mao was quite familiar with the compass. As soon as Gu Zhizhuo took it out, he leaned against the car window to look at it. He tapped the compass with his little paws. Seeing that the magnetic needle on it didn't move, he curled his whiskers and made a slightly puzzled sound: "Meow?"
His ears drooped in frustration, and the fur on the tips of his ears trembled slightly.
"Forget it then." Shen Xu suddenly changed his tone.
Gu Zhizhuo asked excitedly, "What do you want to calculate?"
Shen Mao: "Meow?" It seemed as if he was singing along with her.
"casual."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Xu's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were as shimmering as water, hiding an indescribable emotion.
Chen Xu: "Looking for someone."
"Birthdate."
Shen Xu was silent for a long time, as if he felt a little regretful. He rubbed the tips of the cat's ears and told it its birthday.
"She's dead." Shen Xu lowered the corners of his slightly curved lips, revealing an indescribable gloom. "I want to know where her body is."
Gu Zhizhuo suppressed his smile and fiddled with the compass seriously.
The cat leaned on the window, watching the magnetic needle turn curiously, and from time to time stretched out its claws, trying to grab the magnetic needle out.
It turned around happily and meowed at Shen Xu.
It was a rare occasion for Chen Xu to touch the cat's head, and the cat meowed even more coquettishly, with a constant whining sound in its throat.
Suddenly, the magnetic needle stopped.
Gu Zhizhuo asked, "Master, is this person a woman?"
Chen Xu: “…”
Not answering means yes. Gu Zhizhuo then asked, "Are your blood relatives?"
Chen Xu: “…”
Gu Zhizhuo was already used to his indifference. She stared at the compass and kept calculating.
Chen Xu leaned back on the pillow bored, playing with the jade pendant on his wrist without interest.
The white smoke rising from the corner of the carriage carries an elegant scent.
He doesn't believe in fate.
How could someone who had crawled out of a sea of corpses and blood care about their fate? If fate was unfair, they would be destroyed.
He didn't care what Gu Zhizhuo said at all.
Until, Gu Zhizhuo suddenly said: "She is not dead."
Chen Xu sat up suddenly, a dangerous gleam in his eyes. He stared at her and asked, "What did you say?!"
There was a tremor in his feminine voice that he himself could hardly detect.
Gu Zhizhuo raised his head from the compass and said with certainty, "She is alive."
"Sister... is she alive?"
Shen Xu murmured softly, and the next moment, he suddenly stood up and put his hand on her shoulder: "Where is she?"
Gu Zhizhuo brushed it away carelessly and said, "Wait a moment, it's not convenient to talk here."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Shen Xu lifted the car curtain and said, "Catch her!"
ah?
Gu Zhizhuo just walked around the back of the carriage and heard him trying to catch her. Even the Jinyiwei following the carriage were approaching her.
She raised her eyebrows in confusion.
What a bad temper.
Gu Zhizhuo got on the carriage by himself, pointed outside, indicating that there were people coming and going and it was not convenient to talk, and then sat down opposite him with confidence.
Chen Xu: “…”
Gu Zhizhuo said bluntly, "The hexagram indicates that this person has a tragic fate. He carries a deep blood feud, has been on the brink of death several times, and has also..." She was somewhat embarrassed to speak, "and has also suffered humiliation."
Shen Xu's eyelashes drooped and he clutched his sleeves tightly. The smooth clothes without any marks suddenly became wrinkled.
"she……"
Shen Xu's ten fingers trembled slightly.
As far as he could remember, the last time he saw his sister was when she knocked him unconscious and hid him in the crevice of the rocks.
His limbs were limp and he couldn't move. He saw with his own eyes his sister being dragged away by a group of men.
Chen Xu's breathing suddenly became rapid, the corners of his eyes were bloodshot, and there was a chill in his sinister eyes. He had a ferocious aura all over his body, as if he would skin someone alive and pull out their tendons if they disagreed with him.
"Me?"
Even the cat sensed it and lay quietly on his lap, licking its paws.
Chen Xu took out the white jade token hanging on his wrist and held it in his palm.
After he was able to move again, Shen Xu went to the direction they had dragged his sister away. He searched desperately, desperately, searching for a whole day and night, but in the end, he only found torn clothes and pools of blood.
The bloody footprints extended all the way to the edge of the cliff.
The footprints on the cliff were even more messy. There was a broken stone on the edge of the cliff with half a footprint remaining on it. The foot was not big, and the mud and blood left a plum blossom pattern on the sole.
Back then, his and his sister's shoes were all hand-sewn by their mother. His sister's soles had plum blossom patterns, and his soles had bamboo leaf patterns.
He would never make a mistake in his mother's craftsmanship.
Later...
When he thought of what happened later, his eyes were filled with blood.
Cat Shen put his little head against his face: "Meow."
Rarely, he didn't push it away. The cat was very happy and licked his face, leaving its scent on him.
"she……"
Shen Xu spoke with difficulty, his throat was dry, "Is she okay?"
The magnetic needle of Tianchi didn't budge. Gu Zhizhuo calculated and said four words: "Falling into the dust."
Chen Xu: “…”
Chen Xu supported his forehead with his hand and let out a low laugh, with a slight moisture in his eyes.
"Being alive is enough."
It turns out his sister is still alive.
It turns out that he is not just one person, he actually has blood relatives still alive in this world.
Chen Xu: "Calculate again, where is she?"
Gu Zhizhuo tapped the compass lightly: "Master, your birth date."
Thinking that this person was very suspicious, Gu Zhizhuo explained: "She is your blood relative..."
Shen Xu was too lazy to listen and just gave an eight-character answer.
Gu Zhizhuo took out the counting chips and threw them on the coffee table, and made three consecutive hexagrams.
Her brows were tightly furrowed, and she stared at the hexagram for a long time without saying anything.
This expression made Shen Xu somewhat nervous, but unfortunately he couldn't understand it. In his eyes, these abacus chips were no different except for their positions.
"East."
She pointed to the first hexagram and said.
"Wind and Dust Land."
This is the second hexagram.
Chen Xu pointed to the last hexagram again: "What about this one?"
"Very bad."
Gu Zhizhuo's fingertips brushed across the abacus.
"She'll die soon."
