late night song

Chapter 126
Xunmen is still the same as before. Although it is not as lively and lively as the other sects, the disciples are still the most diligent and hard-working, just because they are the only ones in the courtyard who have been born by licking blood and don't know what the future will be like.

Gu Yuchu first went to meet the master of the sect, Meng Xiuran. Although she was one of the few disciples personally chosen by the master, she was not as close to him as mother and daughter like other direct brothers. They were not even close, even though the master often helped her alone. She was taught martial arts in class, but the atmosphere she got along with always made her a little awkward, as if there was something between her that she couldn't explain.

Her fellow disciples were always aggrieved because of her "privilege". In the past, she often made sarcastic remarks, which made Gu Yuchu feel aggrieved and unwilling to get closer to her teacher.

"Well, sir." In the Changsheng Building, Gu Yuchu bowed respectfully.

"Xiao Chu is back." Meng Xiuran nodded without surprise or smile.

Although she is over 50 years old, she is well-maintained and looks indifferent all day long. Little does anyone know that 20 years ago she was the world's most famous assassin. She came and went like a shadow, could only kill three people, and killed without blood. , and then, day and night, disappeared without a trace in an instant, and no one knew it anymore.

Some people said she was dead, others said she was crazy. Only the people in the academy knew that she was retiring from the world to give lectures and solve doubts.

Meng Xiuran politely brought out the Handai tea that had not changed for many years, asked Gu Yuchu to sit down, and after learning a few things, he said, "I haven't seen you in a few years, and now you are plump and gentle."

Gu Yuchu was a little embarrassed and quickly replied: "Sir, he is still the same as before."

"Is there anything important when you come back this time?"

"It's nothing, I just want to come back and have a look."

"The Xunmen will always be there. There are many disciples who want to come back to see them, but there are only a few who can actually come back." Meng Xiuran mistakenly touched the Bodhi seed bracelet in his hand, which was strung with a few jade beads of excellent quality. .

Gu Yuchu was silent, feeling very embarrassed.

As early as when she was studying, her teacher may have known her future path earlier than she did, and now her words are truly meaningful.

The disciples who came out of the Xunmen were indeed under the slaughter forever. It was a luxury to hope to sleep peacefully through the night, and there was no talk of the freedom to do whatever they wanted.But she can easily come back and see, she is indeed lucky enough.

Come to think of it, she herself has benefited a lot from Qi Jie's wings, and she can escape her fate at will. But is the fate in the eyes of others really the same as the fate under her feet?

"Well, after leaving the army, everyone will settle down with their destiny. Everything has nothing to do with the Sunda Gate. It's good to come back often if you have good luck. If there are no tasks to rush, just stay a few more days." Meng Xiuran saw her embarrassment. The look relaxed the atmosphere.

"Thank you, Master."

"You have time to discuss with your junior brothers and sisters, and teach me the propriety and timing of actual combat."

"Okay." Gu Yuchu responded with a guilty conscience, thinking that he had entered the Qin Prince's Mansion, and with the honor of this princess, Zhen Zhen'er had never been through life and death, so there was no need to talk about actual combat experience.

"Go down, I'm going to practice Zen."

"Yes."

With just the right order to expel guests, Gu Yuchu left happily.

After completing her apprenticeship, she was not in a hurry to find Lejia Pengkang. Instead, she went to the Yongju Hall deep in the bamboo forest halfway up the mountain behind.

The name Yongjutang sounds ordinary and has a beautiful meaning, but in fact it is exceptionally clean and peaceful compared to the busy courtyard in the academy.

Living here is Changleshui, a pharmacologist who has not been out of Duimen for a long time. She never teaches people or has any apprentices. She only cultivates some rare herbs on weekdays and occasionally receives some injured people who are not treated by Duimen. Disciples, especially the rebellious and unsmiling Sunda disciples, often visited.

This teacher is gentle and approachable, but he doesn't talk much, and he is indifferent to things other than herbal medicine. This indifferent but gentle temperament makes many injured disciples who don't want to explain feel very comfortable. Over time, the academy's students The disciples affectionately call her Master Shui Niang.

Gu Yuchu was also injured, but he broke into Yongjutang when Lan Ye was not around.Master Shui Niang, gentle and kind, allowed her to find a long-lost warmth here, as if her mother was still there.So, she often ran here like a fascination, finding various ways to beg Master Shui Niang for her sweet tea, sweet and sour hawthorn cake, and secret snowflake balm. She also shamelessly asked her to teach her a few things about how women can use it. The talent of the artist - sword dance.

"Master Shui Niang." Gu Yuchu called her gently.

The yard outside the hall was filled with dried herbs on one side and potted grass on the other. The busy white figure in the middle slowly raised his head.

"Xiao Chu is back. It's been several years since we last parted." The legendary Master Shui Niang curled her lips, and the midday sun pierced her eyes.

Gu Yuchu happily ran and hugged her, but despite her panic, she still smiled like a flower.

"A little fatter." The woman looked at him carefully and brushed the child's hair out of her arms.

"Really?" Gu Yuchu pinched his cheeks and laughed stupidly.

"Come here and sit here." Master Shui Niang didn't even ask her why she came. He just held her hand and dragged her to sit on the bamboo chair under the grapevine.

"Xiaochu is really lucky. I just roasted the tea and condensed the ointment yesterday, and you caught up with me."

"Really? Haha, does Master Shui Niang know that I am coming and has prepared it specially?" Gu Yuchu smiled like a child.

The woman was still smiling, but she paused unnoticed when she heard this.

"Xiaochu is naughty again."

"Master Shui Niang doesn't know, but I'm going crazy trying to eat the hawthorn cake you made." Gu Yuchu couldn't wait to twist a piece of cake and put it in his mouth, muttering.

"Be careful of choking." Master Shui Niang looked at Gu Yuchu who was happily eating with a smile, and asked gently, "How many days will you stay here this time?"

"Leave today." Gu Yuchu was still immersed in eating.

"So anxious. Just wait, I'll pack you some more pastries and snowflake ointment."

"Don't worry about the snowflake balm, make more hawthorn cake."

"This silly kid only knows how to eat."

The next afternoon, Gu Yuchu nestled in this quiet corner, enjoying a moment of warmth and comfort.When the sun went down, she reluctantly left Yongjutang and sneaked into the other courtyard where Qi Jinyu had told him in advance that Lejia Pengkang lived.

There are eight sects under this Sanxing Academy. Each disciple is divided into different sects based on their strengths and interests. However, there are some extremely intelligent disciples who can teach the eight sects and escape from the eight sects. , classified as a "generalist" and forged, he can only produce one or two in 50 years, and Lejia Pengkang is such a "generalist".

When he first heard about it, Gu Yuchu was a little surprised. Although the kid Lejia Pengkang was smart, he was not at an extraordinary level.In fact, this was a special arrangement by Chang Fuxi, the president of Sanxing Academy. He just considered the situation in the world and sold Lejia Huanyu a thin noodle to protect his son for a while.

However, if Chang Yuanqing, the leader of the front yard who has gone west, knew about this, he would definitely come to life and beat his son to death for not adhering to his principles.

Sanxing Academy has always been unafraid of imperial power and eclectic in selecting talents, but now it is being influenced by the world's turmoil, which has really damaged its reputation.

Gu Yuchu was lying on the roof thinking about it, and saw Lejia Pengkang returning to the other courtyard followed by two guards from a distance.Then, she silently escaped into the darkness of the mountains.
