Doutu Continent

Master's close friend back then.

Gu Qingzhou stayed in his own dormitory for two days, listened to the master's words, had a good rest, and packed all the items that could be used during this time, and prepared multiple pairs of tonics and put them in the badge for easy access at any time.

The application for going out to practice by myself was quickly approved.Mo Xuetao went through the formalities himself, and came to tell him the good news, but also brought a bad news.

"People from the Gong family came to urge again today, and Gong Lingyan's application for transfer can no longer be suppressed." Mo Xuetao snorted coldly, "After you leave Qingyun Painting Academy, don't come back in a short time."

"Master, please worry about it." Gu Qingzhou said with guilt and reluctance, "Master, this disciple will miss you."

"You don't want to part with Master, so you can come to see me as Ye Mofan." After Mo Xuetao finished speaking, he changed his mind after thinking for a moment, "Forget it, don't come. The disciples of the Mo Academy are not staying in their own painting academy. It is shameful to always go to the Youth Academy The Gong family can't find anyone, so they must be looking at him as a teacher, and you will fall into a trap when you come back."

Gu Qingzhou frowned and said, "I'm the one who hurt you, Master."

"Okay, put away your frustrated face. I am a majestic painter, and I am afraid of being troubled by you? It is nothing more than giving Gong Huazun a little face. And the Gong family dances so happily, like grasshoppers after autumn... The master suspects that there is a major change in the palace family." Mo Xuetao keenly guessed this point and said, "When I find out the inside story, maybe it won't be long before you and my master and apprentice can reunite again."

"Well! The apprentice is not here during this period, master please take care of yourself." Gu Qingzhou let go of the sadness of parting, showing a faint smile.

Mo Xuetao nodded and said: "Take care too, you are injured, remember to drink medicine on time. Regarding your trial, I have issued a task of finding someone for you to follow up. There is no time limit, find someone No matter when you go back to the painting academy to register, you will be considered as having completed the trial."

The fan in his hand tapped on the palm of his hand, and when he mentioned the person he was looking for, he frowned slightly and said, "This person is called Gong Yangyi, and he is active in Weilong City. I don't know the exact address as a teacher, but he is good at painting." Ghosts and gods, who have a small reputation, you should be able to find out his whereabouts when you go to Weilong City."

"Weilong City." Gu Qingzhou's heart trembled.The haunting village he wanted to go to was just outside Weilong City, very close to each other.

"Why, you heard about this place?" Mo Xuetao thought that his apprentice was afraid of the long distance, so he became timid.He took out a map and spread it out, and drew a circle at the location of Weilong City.

"Weilong City is indeed very far away. How can you accept this trial not far away?" Mo Xuetao said with a slight smile, "Don't worry, being a teacher is fine. It just so happens that the Academy of Painting has a recruitment task and needs to use HNA. Pick up the new disciples back to the painting academy. I can let you take a short ride, and as a teacher, I will make decisions for you and take over the task of recruiting students by the way."

He drew another circle where the word "Hengshui" was marked on the map.Li Weilong City was pulled in a lot at once.

"Hengshui produces good seedlings, and every year it is a must for the five academies, especially the Huanggang Academy of Painting, which is particularly domineering in recruiting students. All the disciples of Huang Ji's painting roots have been given up to them. Last year, they snatched a pure platinum painting root. Good seedling, I started a fight with the teacher recruited by Baijing Academy of Painting on the spot. However, the earth attribute itself is thick-skinned, and fights are common.

Thinking of that anecdote, Mo Xuetao said with a smile on his face: "But they want to take in the Tao family most. Tao Fengyun taught his disciples at home, and ignored Huanggang Academy of Painting at all.

"Tao Huazun is Huang Ji's painting root?" Gu Qingzhou heard it for the first time.

Mo Xuetao shook his head and said: "Yes, otherwise why is he among the top experts among the painting masters? When fighting against him, I don't even know where his limit is. Even if he stands and allows others to attack, break open His mask requires a lot of effort. So even if he does anything reckless, as long as he doesn't go too far, the other masters will not want to fight him at all."

Gu Qingzhou listened with relish to listening to the gossip that Master told about these gossips that can only be known at a higher level.

His relationship with Fengyun Mansion is complicated. On the one hand, his vest, Ye Mofan, is the target of the other party's solicitation, and he has established a good business relationship.On the other hand, Jin Jiang, the diner of Fengyun Mansion, wants to get rid of his Gu family quickly, and has obvious murderous intentions towards him.

Gu Qingzhou asked curiously: "Then who is more difficult to deal with, the ancestor of the Gong family or Tao Huazun? Last time Gong Shuo was in front of my house, he taught two diners from Fengyun Mansion a lesson and asked someone to break their hands. One of the diners seemed to be very fond of Tao Hua. Respect."

Mo Xuetao smiled and said: "That's a good question. It's good to know how powerful it is. There are three thousand diners in Fengyun Mansion, no matter how important the diners are, they are not from the same family. As long as the surname is not Tao, the beating is nothing. The ancestor of the Gong family So no one will take the initiative to provoke her, because everyone knows that she is abnormal. How can a normal person care about a lunatic?"

"Crazy?" Gu Qingzhou was quite surprised to say that Gong Huazun was a lunatic.

Mo Xuetao said: "In order to promote Gong Canlian, the patriarch of the Gong family, to be promoted to the king of painting, she used some means to drive Gong Canlian's wife, who is also Gong Shuo's biological mother, crazy. As a member of the Gong family, she persecuted her Patriarch, this kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can do."

"Ah! Was the Patriarch of the Gong family later promoted to Master Hua?" Gu Qingzhou was surprised.

"I've been promoted, but I'm useless, and I don't care about anything. I have no desires or desires, and I just focus on cultivation." Mo Xuetao sighed, "Except for painting, he can't catch anything else. This obsession, even the elders of the Gong family Zu also has nothing to do with him."

"..." Gu Qingzhou thought of the Gong Shuo he had seen again, with a cold face, indifferent eyes, and no waves in his heart.He suddenly felt that the other party was not so hateful anymore.

The Gong family is a quagmire, and he must not sink into it.As far as you can hide, the farther away the better, Gu Qingzhou warned himself.

Mo Xuetao also didn't want to talk about the troubles of the Gong family, so he clicked on it, "You go to the trial, and after completing the recruitment task, go to Gongyangyi."

He gave the map with two circles drawn to his apprentice, and then displayed the universe in the painting and took out a painting.

"This is a portrait of Gongyangyi when he was young. I haven't seen him for more than 20 years, and I don't know what he looks like now." When Mo Xuetao mentioned this person, his expression darkened slightly, and his eyes were quickly caught Coolness replaced. "Gong Yangyi used to be good at figure painting, but now he only draws ghosts and gods. People outside call him Ghost Master. I think he has painted more ghosts and gods, and his temperament will be gloomy and sneaky. He must be more wretched than the one in the portrait."

"..." Gu Qingzhou unfolded the picture scroll and looked down. The person in the painting has a beautiful face, even a bit feminine. Although he can't see color, he can still see from this meticulous figure painting that the person is a person. A young man with red lips and white teeth, quite bookish and elegant.

"He used to look like a dog." Mo Xuetao glanced at the person in the painting and commented, as if he hadn't seen the face of the person in the painting for a long time, his eyes seemed strange, with a hint of hesitation, as if The appearance of the other party in the memory is different from the portrait.

Gu Qingzhou asked: "After I find him, what news do I need to bring to him? Do I want to report his whereabouts to Master?"

Mo Xuetao unfolded his fan, shook it gently, thought for a while, and said after a while: "After you find him, tell him that you are my apprentice. Let him teach you the treasure of the wood attribute, which can be perfectly integrated into the body and restore the body." The method of painting one's own heart. There is also a method of taking out the treasure without causing any harm to oneself."

Gu Qingzhou was surprised and said: "It turned out that Master released this trial of finding people for me."

His eyes were slightly red, and he was moved in his heart, and asked again: "Master, don't you know this method of blending the heart?"

"I'm not a god, and I have never learned a technique, of course not." Mo Xuetao closed his fan, tapped his disciple's head once, and said, "Little slippery head, what you want to say is that my brother Mo Huazun Wouldn't it be true?"

Gu Qingzhou did have this subtext.Because of Gong Shuo's lightness at the beginning, he thought that a strong person with a high realm would use treasures to mend Hui Xin.

"Tinkering and drawing heart can be a teacher. But how to perfectly integrate the treasure, and when it is necessary to take out the treasure without causing harm to the body, I really don't know how to be a teacher." Mo Xuetao said frankly, "There are not many aristocratic families who know this method. , because I seldom use it, in my memory as a teacher, the Gongyang family is one of the few remaining. I can guarantee that the Gong family is definitely not the family that has mastered this technique."

After he finished speaking, he pinched an emerald on the fan pendant, and said in his hand: "I don't want you to repair Huixin by yourself, and when you take out the treasure, you cause secondary damage to your body. Then your Huixin will be damaged." It's really hopeless."

"Master is too thoughtful, and I feel guilty." Gu Qingzhou said softly.

His master directly bypassed how to obtain the treasure, and considered the next step to integrate the treasure into his body. Obviously, he had made up his mind to use his Panlongyun ink ingot to exchange for the wood attribute treasure for him.

Gu Qingzhou's body trembled undetectably, suppressing tears and said: "I hope Master, don't exchange your own ink ingots for the treasure, and make plans after the apprentice learns this technique and comes back?"

Mo Xuetao looked at him lightly, and said with a gentle smile, "Yes, but you are not allowed to think about the Fengqi Wutong pen holder of the Gong family."

"I promise Master!" Gu Qingzhou said quickly, "I think there will be a turnaround."

Mo Xuetao looked at the other party and said: "It seems that you have something to hide from Master, but I am very happy to be Master. You have your own little secret. This way I can let you go out without worry."

After he finished speaking, he took out a letter and handed it to Gu Qingzhou: "After you see Gongyangyi, give this letter to him. He will teach you this technique after reading it. He is good at drawing ghosts and gods. He lived there for a period of time, learning his techniques. Since he is called a ghost master, he should have some foundation to get out of it."

Gu Qingzhou wiped off his sweat and said: "Master and the other party have not met for more than 20 years. After receiving the letter, this Gongyangyi painter, is he really willing to teach me?"

Mo Xuetao, who has always been gentle, sometimes utters harsh words, "He owes me his life, if he dares not teach me as an apprentice, I will take his life as a dog!"

Cold sweat broke out on Gu Qingzhou's forehead, and he secretly speculated about the relationship between Master and the other party.

He remembered that Master said two days ago that when he was young, he had a very trusted friend.I haven't seen the other party for more than 20 years, and I will gloat when I hear that the other party has not been promoted to the painting king.

Gong Yangyi is known as a ghost master, just now he called the other party a painter, and the master didn't refute.Also haven't seen each other for more than 20 years.When Master mentioned the other party, his words were full of slander...

"There's no need to guess, Gong Yangyi is exactly the close friend who was my teacher back then." Mo Xuetao knew what Gu Qingzhou was thinking when he saw his disciple's expression wandering.

He announced himself: "Don't look at your master as a painting king now, and he was still young. I once pursued a woman who was beautiful and talented, but I didn't expect Gong Yangyi to compete with me. We The two disrupted each other, and even got into a life-and-death duel. In the end, he lost his life, but I didn't kill him on the spot."

"So the master won?" Gu Qingzhou was puzzled, he had never seen a mistress who matched the description beside the master.

"I won Gongyangyi, but I didn't win the beauty back." Mo Xuetao's expression was not depressed, only a touch of nostalgia, "That woman is really kind and cruel. I can't bear to turn my best friend against her, so we Two, she chose neither."

Gu Qingzhou said: "...Master still misses him, so he hasn't married yet?"

"No." Mo Xuetao said, "It's said that it was when I was young. Looking back later, I don't seem to love that girl that much, but because Gong Yangyi insisted on fighting with me, I fought with him. It's life and death. Compared to not pursuing what I love, Gong Yangyi's betrayal of me is the person who hurt me the most."

Mo Xuetao snorted and said: "He knows all my weaknesses, so I won that time miserably. It took me a long time to recover from my injuries, and I almost died. But he was injured more seriously, otherwise he should have been promoted to the painting king long ago. I When he and he were in the Mochi Academy of Painting, they were jokingly called Bingdilian. But the people who called me that way, the grass on the grave is already half the height of a person."

"..."

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't do it for the teacher. That person was unlucky, and he died in the trial not long after."

Gu Qingzhou, who was about to go out for a trial, swallowed, feeling that his future on this trip was bleak.Would such a person really have no complaints and work hard because of a letter from Master?

I always feel that my master has a mysterious self-confidence.

It seemed that what happened back then was not as simple as the other party said.
