Gu Zhou sent the Gu family to the door. Before leaving, Gu Zhongqing spoke to him earnestly, asking him to take it slow, treat Qi Jing well, and not do anything to hurt Qi Jing.
Gu Zhou had no choice but to agree, and was scolded by his parents again.
After watching his family get into the car and leave, Gu Zhou sighed and turned around, just in time to meet Qi Yao and a few others with smirks on their faces.
Qi Yao suggested, "How about you go to Country T?"
"Get lost!" Gu Zhou cursed, and then gave Qi Qi a warning look as she tried to speak. "I'm going to look for my uncle now, so I don't have time to joke with you guys."
Qi Qi just smiled, a smile full of excitement, and even pulled Qi Yue beside him, "I saw a living person!"
Qi Yue patted Qi Qi's shoulder helplessly. He's not dead, okay?
Qi Huang also looked at Gu Zhou curiously. Although this relationship was a matter between two people, Qi Jing was the elder after all. Even if they wanted to gossip and be curious, they couldn't run to Qi Jing, so they could only let Gu Zhou suffer.
However, Gu Zhou did not give them this opportunity. He quickly ran back to the villa, went upstairs and knocked on Qi Jing's door.
Qi Jing came over dejectedly. When he saw that it was Gu Zhou, he immediately wanted to close the door, but was stopped by Gu Zhou's outstretched hand.
Gu Zhou smiled ingratiatingly, "Serious business, I'll leave after I finish speaking."
Qi Jing frowned, let go of the door handle and sat back on the small sofa. "What's the serious matter? Tell me."
Gu Zhou didn't know what to say for a moment. He closed the door and came in. After thinking for a while, he squatted in front of Qi Jing and looked up at him. "What is the connection between him and my uncle? Does he like my uncle?"
Qi Jing nodded gloomily. Gu Xuanyi must like him, otherwise she wouldn't have been pestering him for five hundred years.
"Then the uncle doesn't like him?" Gu Zhou asked uncertainly. If Qi Jing didn't like Gu Xuanyi, then why was he kissed by Gu Xuanyi and even went to the apartment to sleep in the same bed with Gu Xuanyi.
Qi Jing thought for a moment and replied, "I don't hate him, I just think he's annoying and sick."
"ill?"
Qi Jing nodded repeatedly, "Look, I'm a man, and he's also a man. How can he like me? And he wants me to like him too?"
"Uh..." Gu Zhou was really unsure, but he felt there was a bug. He asked, "But our ancestor has been dead for five hundred years. If I were his reincarnation, I'd be nineteen, and my uncle would be at most twenty-one or twenty-two, right? Does our ancestor have any strange habits?"
Qi Jing frowned, "It's not what you think, he doesn't have such a strange habit."
"Then what's going on? Why does the old ancestor like the little uncle?"
Qi Jing thought for a moment, then stared at Gu Zhou for a long time. Then he stretched out his hand to reveal a plump white insect, "If you accept this, I will tell you."
Gu Zhou looked down at the insect in Qi Jing's palm, and a ridiculous thought popped up in his mind, "Poisonous insect?"
"Well, if I plant it in you, you won't tell anyone my secret. And no one except me can take it out, not even the surgery at the hospital."
Faced with Qi Jing's emphasis, Gu Zhou did not hesitate and directly stretched out his hand.
After the sting, the insect drilled into Gu Zhou's body. He didn't feel much, but just looked at Qi Jing with some anticipation. Was he going to know Qi Jing's secret?
In the study, Qi Jun said that if Qi Jing was willing to tell him those things, it would be a big step forward.
Qi Jing said, "You saw the dragon on my body this morning, right?"
Gu Zhou nodded. There were a lot of them. He didn’t count them in detail, but there were at least four or five of them, and they were still moving.
Qi Jing added, "These dragons can make me immortal. I'm not twenty years old, I'm over eight hundred years old. I don't remember the exact age, but I'm three hundred years older than Gu Xuan."
"Long! Immortality?!" Gu Zhou sat down on the ground in shock, his worldview collapsed again.
Qi Jing didn't care about Gu Zhou's reaction and continued, "I knew Gu Xuanyi five hundred years ago. Of course, he wasn't called Gu Xuanyi back then."
"Did the ancestor change his name?"
"Not really. Didn't Gu Xuanyi become a Taoist priest? He gave up his secular name. His earthly name is Gu Lin, with the courtesy name Changze."
Gu Zhou's eyes widened. "Gu Lin? Gu Lin, the great general during the Mingyou era? Gu Lin, who fought against twelve foreign tribes for three years?!"
Qi Jing nodded, "How did you know?"
"He was mentioned in the history books of junior high school. He was born into a military family. In the fifteenth year of Mingyou, twelve foreign tribes launched a massive attack on the Ming capital. Gu Lin went on to fight in his father's place. In three years, he defeated the twelve foreign tribes and was awarded the title of General of the Northern Expedition."
"What happened next? Did anyone say anything about him?"
Gu Zhou shook his head. "That's all I wrote. I remember my history teacher talked about his unofficial history."
"Unofficial history? What do you mean?"
"It's a story that was passed down from the people without being recorded. It says that Gu Lin was trapped in love and never married. He later became a monk and retired from the mortal world."
"Well... that's about right. Gu Xuanyi never got married anyway. His family pressured him, and when they pushed him to the limit, he severed ties with them and resigned from his official position. He originally didn't want to be an official or a general. On the one hand, he went to the battlefield to defend his country, and on the other hand, the Qi family was implicated in a case of treason.
Gu Xuanyi used the pacification of foreign powers as a bargaining chip in exchange for the Qi family's safe escape, but he could no longer enter the government. After that, the Qi family has been engaged in business, and is protected by the Gu family in the court. This is the favor the Qi family owes to the Gu family, and it is also because of this Gu family that they can enter the old house.
Gu Zhou finally understood. No wonder Qi Jing always said that he would not ask for anything in return for a favor. It turned out that the favor was so great.
Qi Jing continued, "Gu Xuanyi never married and had no children. It was your ancestor, his younger brother, who wrote him into the family tree so that he could be worshipped by the descendants of the Gu family.
Only in this way will this kindness remain with you. The jade tripod of your Gu family was carved by Gu Xuanyi before he died. His soul has been in the jade tripod since his death, blessing the Gu family to prosper for generations.
"And the little lucky star that comes to every generation of your Gu family was also something that Gu Xuanyi asked me to obtain. Now that the Jade Tripod has been replaced, the little lucky star has not been born, so they can easily take away your fate."
Gu Zhou patted his face for a long time before he finally digested these words. Then he looked up at Qi Jing and said, "So the ancestor liked you five hundred years ago? And still likes you now?"
"That's why I'm annoyed with him. Forget it now. You all say that two men can get married. But five hundred years ago, there was no such thing. He still keeps pestering me. He even climbs in through the window when I'm showering. Do you think he's crazy?!"
It’s hard to judge Gu Zhou. “He probably really likes his uncle, so he does some unconventional things.”
"I know. I'm not scolding him. It's just that I don't think this should happen. I want to stay away from him. But I can't refuse him. I often think of him." Qi Jing frowned in confusion. "Every time I go out for the past few hundred years, he is there. I'm used to him floating around. I don't know what to do with him."
