Master from the Lunatic Asylum [Transmigration Book]

After seeing the scenes in other places in Cangyan Ruins, Shi Gu thought that the Northern Demon City would not be so strong.

But unexpectedly, the building here is actually very gorgeous.

In terms of appearance alone, the buildings in the Northern Demon City are actually not much different from the small town at the foot of Cangyunzong. They are also full of flowers and grass, trees and courtyards. If I have to say it, it is probably The aesthetics are not very good, and the houses look a little sloppy.

But if you look carefully, you will find that whether it is bricks or wood, it is much more particular than the ordinary towns that Shigu has been to before.

It's just... less people.

When Shi Gu looked around, there were basically only a few people living in a courtyard.

"Twenty years ago, Jiusheng Tianzun came to Cangyan Market and wiped out nearly half of the demons. The northern demon city was the first to bear the brunt."

In front, Yu Zhan explained without turning his head, and held Shigu's hand and squeezed it lightly, with a sense of comfort.

"Most of the people who are still alive today are those who were not in Shanghai at that time, or those who survived Zuo Yu and Zhu Hui."

As Yu Zhan spoke, he dragged Shigu inside.

Shi Gu listened quietly, and quietly clasped back in his palm.

Yu Zhan paused, turned around and smiled at him.

After entering the city gate, Yu Zhan waved his hand, indicating that the subordinates were all dispersed, and he wanted to walk away with Shi Gu alone.

The subordinates understood one after another, and soon went to their own affairs.

They seemed to have gotten used to Yu Zhan's behavior of dismissing everyone as soon as he came back, and most of them didn't react much except for a few people who peeked at the situation curiously for a while when they left.

And Yu Zhan's arrival did not cause commotion as Shigu imagined. He looked at the demon people in the city and felt that they didn't know Yu Zhan at all.

Shigu was a little puzzled, but Yu Zhan didn't explain, but patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go, I'll take you to see the place where I grew up."

The breeze swayed the treetops, bringing with it fallen leaves. The two walked side by side with the seemingly indistinct noise and shouts in the distance. They walked across the small river in the city, and passed several weapons shops selling swords. I walked through a few more arenas for martial arts competitions.

Shi Gu discovered that the Mozu people seem to like to fight very much.

"I would also like."

As Yu Zhan said, he pointed to a martial arts arena that was in full swing, and said, "The first time I fought with someone, I was on that stage. I was only four years old at the time."

"At that time, there was no accident in my family. Naturally, my father didn't pass on the cultivation to me. It was all based on my own strength."

When Yu Zhan said this, there was some pride and nostalgia in his eyes, he raised his head halfway reservedly, as if he was waiting for Shigu to continue asking.

Shi Gu was very cooperative and asked, "What was your cultivation level at that time?"

Yu Zhan smiled and said: "The foundation was just established. My father is very arrogant. Other children only start to practice at the age of five, but he thinks that it is necessary to practice early. When he was still in his infancy, he was in my ear every day. Taught me how to breathe spiritual power, and after learning to walk, I made a bunch of little clay figurines about the same size as me, and competed with me every day."

But he didn't say anything, the main reason is that he has been skinny since he was a child and didn't do anything about personnel. Yu Mu was afraid that he would be beaten to death sooner or later, so he let him practice early in order to run faster when escaping for his life.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhan's smile gradually faded.

This was actually just a joke made by Yu Mu at the beginning, but who would have thought that it would become a reality in the end.

If he hadn't cultivated early, and the followers and subordinates of Jiusheng Tianzun thought he was still young and underestimated the enemy, he might have lost his life as early as 20 years ago.

There was a pulling feeling coming from the hand, but it was because of his emotions from time to time.

However, Shi Gu is not very good at comforting others. After holding back for a long time, he only uttered one sentence: "You are a genius."

After a pause, he probably felt that his appreciation was not enough, so he added, "It's great."

——This is what Yu Zhan used to say in the past when he was boasting about his past. He used his skills to comfort Yu Zhan with his backhand. .

Soon, the two came to a mansion.

The mansion is very large, the whole body is made of black wood, and it looks like it is no different from the other buildings at first glance.

But if you look closely, you will find that compared with the unruly and slightly ugly houses around, this place is obviously more refined.

A few people who were probably servants were cleaning inside. They looked not young. Yu Zhan looked at it and said softly, "This is my house."

"Here?" Shi Gu was a little surprised, "I thought you would live in a palace or something."

"There is indeed a Demon Palace, but my father thinks that living there is boring and empty, so since we were young, our family has lived in my father's original house. My father only goes to the Demon Palace during the day to deal with daily life. matter."

Yu Zhan's voice was a bit deep, as if he was suppressing some emotions, Shi Gu saw him staring at the door silently for a long time, then raised his hand hesitantly, and knocked.

The people in the room turned their heads when they heard the sound, and when they saw this, they were taken aback for a moment.

These few... are all human races.

They looked at Yu Zhan, looked at each other for a long while, and then asked tentatively, "Young Master, what's the matter?"

The hand that was held by Shi Gu tightened suddenly.

Although he had been mentally prepared, Yu Zhan still felt a sting when he heard this sentence.

Trying to suppress his emotions, Yu Zhan tried his best to calm down his voice. After a while, he looked at the middle-aged woman in front and said slowly, "Aunt Xu, it's me."

"pat".

In the silence, the sound of the broom landing was very clear.

"Little...Little Highness?!"

The voice of the middle-aged woman was suspicious at first, then shocked, and finally turned into ecstasy and disbelief. She turned her head and shouted at the mansion: "It's Your Highness! Your Highness is back!"

The sound of dense footsteps sounded immediately after she finished speaking, and Aunt Xu hurriedly said, "Quick, come in!"

As she said that, she was about to come over and grab Yu Zhan's hand, but at this moment, she suddenly saw Shi Gu standing quietly at the side.

"Who is this?"

Looking at Yu Zhan in doubt, Aunt Xu showed some hesitation on her face.

Yu Zhan paused.

He subconsciously glanced at Shi Gu, as if he was thinking about how to speak, but Shi Gu hurriedly said to Aunt Xu with a light smile, "Lover."

Turning around suddenly, Yu Zhan swallowed the "Master" that Yu Zhan was about to blurt out.

Shi Gu looked at him and blinked, with a look of ignorance, which made Yu Zhan choke, turned back pretending to be calm, and nodded at Aunt Xu.

Aunt Xu was even happier, she took one with each hand and led them both into the courtyard.

I didn't pay attention when I was outside, but when I entered the courtyard, I found that there were many white cloths hanging inside. At first glance, it seemed that I had entered the scene of a funeral. But if I remember correctly, it has been 20 years since the two people had an accident. up.

Yu Zhan also saw the layout of the mansion, and his lips were so tight.

What Shi Gu didn't know was that apart from these white cloths, the size and layout of the mansion, and even the placement of flower beds in some corners, hadn't changed in the slightest.

For a moment, Yu Zhan seemed to have returned to the childhood time that symbolized carefree.

But in the end, things are different, and many things can't go back to the past.

Probably noticing Yu Zhan's emotional changes, Aunt Xu explained: "These white cloths are made by slaves and are not allowed to be removed."

"It is said that after a person dies, the soul will return to the mourning hall and give dreams to familiar people, but after all these years, the servant girl has never dreamed of it once, and the soul lamp in the courtyard has never responded. I lost my way and couldn't come back here for a while."

"So the slaves just waited and kept the white cloths from being removed. Over time, they kept them."

The hoarse female voice was choked with sobs, but neither Yu Zhan nor Shi Gu spoke.

"You made your Highness laugh, the servant girl is just...just..."

What is it, Aunt Xu sobbed, unable to speak for a long while.

In the end, she took the two of them to the mourning hall, and then quietly withdrew.

The mourning hall is very large, so big that it is a bit empty.

Yu Zhan took the time to burn the incense stick, bowed three more times, and then knelt on the futon, looking at the tablet in front of him quietly, as if he was saying something in his heart and introducing someone.

And when he finally stood up straight, a strong force suddenly hit him, and the next moment, Shi Gu was hugged tightly by Yu Zhan.

Shi Gu gently hugs back.

In the past, every time Shi Gu was emotionally unstable, Yu Zhan would hold him in his arms and comfort him in a low voice.

But now, it is still the familiar embrace, but the object of comfort has switched identities.

"This is the first time I've been home in 20 years."

Yu Zhan's voice was muffled, "I actually had many chances to come back here, but I never dared to."

Shi Gu patted him on the back lightly, but did not speak.

He knew that for the current Yu Zhan, he needed someone to confide to rather than comfort.

"Aunt Xu and a few servants in the family were beggars my mother rescued on the road before she got married, and then became my mother's servants."

"My mother, who looks gentle and quiet, is actually very innocent and playful, and doesn't know how to take care of children at all, so after I was born, Aunt Xu took care of me for a lot of time."

"I know that Aunt Xu has been waiting for me to come back all these years, but...but I dare not."

"My mother's body has not been found until now, and my father's last wish has never been fulfilled. The person who caused harm to the world and killed my parents is still at large. I dare not come back, and... have no face to come back."

"Then why are you back now?" Shi Gu asked him in a low voice.

Yu Zhan was silent for a long time.

"Because I want to show you to them."

Yu Zhan raised his hand, as if sighing, and touched the back of Shi Gu's head.

Shi Gu buried his head in Yu Zhan's shoulder socket.

Ever since seeing Shigu's past, Yu Zhan subconsciously always treats Shigu as an ignorant patient.

But the real story is not as ignorant of the world as he imagined.

His long eyelashes concealed Shi Gu's emotions, but with his hand holding the corner of Yu Zhan's clothes, he had already silently twisted the fabric there into fine powder.

If you want to take him back, you can wait for revenge.

But Yu Zhan was so urgent, as if... If he didn't come this time, he would die in the future.

Shi Gu thought of what Fan Hongyin said back then.

Fan Hongyin said that Yu Zhan could not succeed, and asked Shi Gu to grab Yu Zhan's body at the last moment.

Shi Gu suddenly laughed.

The sunlight penetrated the window sill and fell on the memorial tablet, but it happened not to fall on the two people who were embracing at the moment.

No one saw Shi Gu's sudden smile, and no one saw his eyes slowly becoming lighter at the moment.

What no one saw was that Shi Gu hugged Yu Zhan's right hand and quietly pressed the button of the bracelet on his left hand.
