Card Creator: My Cards Unlimited Chain

  Chapter 113 Wu Tianzi's Mixed Blood and Jieshuang's Heart

   Yu Cang did not accept Jiang Ya's request for a duel.

   Leaving aside the fact that there is no venue suitable for a duel, as the object of "competition", it is impossible for Gu Jieshuang to watch Jiang Ya mess around.

  I saw that she first gave Yu Cang an apologetic look, and then pulled Jiang Ya into a certain alley beside her. He didn't hear any sound from inside, and when the two came back, Yu Cang saw Jiang Ya standing behind Gu Jieshuang with tears in his eyes, looking extremely aggrieved.

   But also quiet down.

   After Lin Yunqing also came back, Gu Jieshuang brought everyone to her home.

   This is a two-story bungalow with a small yard. Yu Cang followed Gu Jieshuang and pushed the door in. As soon as he entered the house, he suddenly felt cold all over.

  The temperature inside is much lower than outside.

  Yu Cang and the others were alright, they were soul card masters after all, but Qi'er, who was barely able to bear it, shivered on the spot and picked up his body.

   Yu Cang was a little puzzled.

  The air conditioner is turned on a bit too much.

   "Jie Shuang, you are back."

  A gentle female voice came from upstairs, and then a middle-aged woman walked down the stairs slowly.

  She was wearing very plain clothes, and the wrinkles on her face were not many, but they were very deep. He obviously doesn't look too old, but his hair is already full of silver.

  The woman's face was pale, as if she was in poor health.

   "Mom! Let me introduce you." Gu Jieshuang came to Gu Zhihan's side, "This is Jiang Ya who I told you to come back with me..."

   "Hello, Auntie! I..." Jiang Ya regained her spirit a little, and just about to show off, Gu Jieshuang mercilessly interrupted her.

   "This one! He's my boss...of course, he's also my senior right now."

   "You are Yu Cang." Gu Zhihan showed a smile, "I heard Jie Shuang mention you many times, please take care of this child."

   "Hello, Auntie." Yu Cang said with a smile, "I didn't do anything."

"There is also her, named Yu Qier, who is the boss' younger sister, and the last one named Lin Yunqing, who is my classmate... The boss came here with the army because he was busy with the military equipment reform. Please help me arrange it. stay..."

  Hearing this, Gu Zhihan's eyes seemed to brighten up, and he looked at Yu Cang with a little more appreciation.

  She said: "Welcome...everyone, just think of it as being in your own home, just sit down wherever you want, Jieshuang, you can play with your friends first, and I will prepare lunch."

  After speaking, she smiled, then turned and went upstairs.

   I don't know if it was an illusion, but after she went upstairs, the temperature in the air suddenly became much more normal.

   "Wait a minute, I'll turn on the air conditioner." Gu Jieshuang led everyone to the living room, then turned and went to another room.

  Yu Cang raised his eyebrows.

   Didn’t turn on the air conditioner? Then why is it so cold, is it...

  Yu Cang tried to extract the entry for this house, but to his surprise, a six-hour countdown appeared on it.

  After hesitating for a moment, Yu Cang canceled the extraction.

   After all, it is a rare opportunity to follow the army into a different dimension in the afternoon, and he plans to pick it up then.

   As for this, let’s talk about it after coming out of the different space.

   Nothing worth mentioning happened in the following time. After everyone had lunch and divided their rooms, they began to wait for the opening of the barracks in the afternoon.

  At this time, Gu Jieshuang suddenly found Yu Cang.

   "Boss." Gu Xieshuang poked his head out from the door, "Go out for a walk? I'll show you around."

  Before Yu Cang had any reaction, Qi'er hugged his arm first, and looked at him beggingly: "Brother, go out for a stroll...it's so boring here."

   "Then... good." Yu Cang smiled.

There are many phoenix trees planted on both sides of the road in Wuling Village. As autumn approaches, the leaves of the trees are gradually withering and yellowing. It happened that there was a lot of rain a few days ago, and countless leaves fell on the ground, which changed the color of the ground. .

  Qi'er was still holding the hands of the two, staring at the road with big eyes without blinking, as if he was deliberately picking a complete sycamore leaf to settle down.

  Of course, besides this, Qi'er's attention has been focused on the conversation between Cang and Gu Jieshuang, eavesdropping silently.

   "Speaking of it." Yu Cang said, "There are still a few days before the Fire Festival. Where did you get the holiday?"

"I came back early. After the Fire Festival, there will be more people, and the road will be difficult." Gu Jieshuang helped Qi'er massage her little hands while walking, "Because there are no classes, and the boss is not here, the school I'm a little bored here, so I'll go home early."

   "Hmm... I didn't expect that I would meet you even after traveling so far with the army."

   "I'm also very surprised." Gu Jieshuang raised his head, looked at Yu Cang's side face, and laughed a few times, "Boss, I haven't told you about my family, have I?"

   "It's true, let's hear it?"

   "Actually, I have a lot of background! Boss, don't be intimidated by me." Gu Jieshuang put his hips on his hips, seeming very proud, "Come on, I'll take you to a place."

  step, step...

  Passing through a small alley covered with sycamore leaves, and turning another corner, the eyes suddenly opened up, and an ancient temple with mottled walls entered Yu Cang's field of vision.

  An old man was wearing a coir raincoat and was cleaning the dewy leaves on the stone steps beside him. There was an ancient fragrance in the air, which made Yu Cang feel quite peaceful.

  He looked up and looked at the plaque under the eaves.

   "Wu Tianzi Temple?"

"yes."

  Gu Jieshuang led the two into the temple, Qi'er pouted.

  The leaves here have all been swept away, so she doesn't have to step on them!

  If there are no leaves to step on, you will die...Fortunately, there are still many lives, um...Let's pause for now.

Walking into the temple, a tall statue came into view. Yu Cang was very familiar with this statue. He had seen it countless times in history textbooks—it was the one who traveled three thousand miles with a sword more than two thousand years ago. Myth: Wu Tianzi.

  Based on what Gu Jieshuang said before, Yu Cang raised his eyebrows, as if he had guessed something, and said, "You don't want to say that you are the descendant of Emperor Wu?"

   "Eh... That's not true." Gu Jieshuang scratched the side of his face with his fingers, "However, it is also related to Wu Tianzi. Boss, have you heard of Xuanhuangwei?"

   "Well, I heard that it is Emperor Wu's personal soldier, but he is said to be a personal soldier, but Emperor Wu uses it as an expeditionary army. Xuanhuangwei has been fighting abroad since its establishment, and has almost never stopped."

   "That's right." Gu Jieshuang nodded, looking at Emperor Wu standing on the altar, "My ancestor was a general of Xuanhuangwei."

"Really?" Yu Cang looked at Gu Jieshuang, "I heard that in order to drive the desolate beasts out of the Wu Dynasty, Xuanhuangwei fought everywhere, and the average military age in the team was even less than a year... Jieshuang, you are considered a hero." descendants."

"Well... from childhood, my mother and the elders have always told me that, saying that I am a descendant of Xuanhuangwei, and I can't live up to their name." Gu Jieshuang had a smile on his face, but his tone was It gradually became complicated, "But... now, the name of Xuanhuangwei has long been a string of words in the history books. Even if it is on us, it is more shackles than honors."

"…What's the meaning?"

   "You may not know." Gu Jieshuang sighed softly, "Everyone in Xuanhuangwei is selected by Emperor Wu himself, and there is only one standard for Emperor Wu—that is human-animal hybrid!"

   "Mixed race?"

"Yes... a long time ago, spirit beasts were the masters of this world. They were powerful and free, stretching their bodies freely in the world, but human beings could only hibernate in corners, surviving under the wings of some spirit beasts until Desolate beasts appeared in this world.

"After Emperor Zulong opened up the real dragon death land, Emperor Wu was born. He wanted to drive all the wild beasts out of this land, but he couldn't do it based on his own mythology. So he thought, the spirit beasts are powerful, But people will be infected by the wilderness, but humans don't have this concern. Then, as long as they form an army composed of human and animal hybrids, wouldn't they be invincible in the world?

"Thus, Emperor Wu summoned all the mixed blood in the world to form this Xuanhuang Guard. After the expedition began, the Xuanhuang Guard suffered heavy losses. Emperor Wu then ordered to encourage intermarriage with spirit beasts—anyway, at that time, the surviving spirit beasts could only Relying on us to survive, there is no way to resist the order of Emperor Wu." Gu Jieshuang turned his head and looked at Yu Cang with a full smile, "I am also...human-animal hybrid."

  Yu Cang was silent and did not speak.

  He had already guessed about this point.

   After all, his first handed down entry [Bloodline: Wings of Frost] was obtained from Gu Jieshuang.

   Only at the time, he didn't know what it meant.

   "It sounds like Wu Tianzi's approach is very successful." Yu Cang hesitated, "But...see what you mean, this human-animal hybrid physique is... very bad for you now?"

"It's not bad." Gu Jieshuang turned around and came in front of Yu Cang, "The human-animal hybrid will make our meditation speed faster, and as long as we choose the right card group, our combat power will be higher than that of the same level. Quite a few, but the price is—our lifespan will be short, and I have no complaints about this, there are pros and cons, and I enjoy the benefits, so I should pay the price."

   "Life..." Yu Cang's eyes moved slightly, as if he realized something.

  In Wuling Village...it seems that I have never seen an old man.

  The only one was the sweeping old man I saw at the entrance of the temple just now.

And Gu Jieshuang continued: "My father passed away when I was very young, and so did my other relatives. Now, only my mother is still alive, but the blood pulse in her body caused her to suffer from severe Gu's hypothermia— This incurable disease, even named after us, will lead to an irrepressible loss of body temperature, and even affect the surrounding environment in the advanced stage, and finally die irreparably in the extreme cold."

   "Sister..." Qi'er held Gu Jieshuang's hand with both hands, with a distressed tone.

"I'm fine, Qi'er, I can live for a long time." Gu Jieshuang touched the girl's head, "Mom, she is only forty-two, but her hair is already full of white hair—in fact, mother is already considered a good girl in the village." If you live longer, more people will end their lives if they don't even live to be twenty-five."

  Yu Cang was silent: "...Is there no cure?"

"No... at least not yet." Gu Xieshuang paused, "But I heard that in the period of Emperor Wu, the mixed blood of humans and animals was not like this. Our ancestor, Gu Qianshan, one of the commanders of Xuanhuangwei, seems to be He lived to the end without any disease or disaster, but after the death of Emperor Wu, something seemed to be lost, which led to the mixed blood becoming what it is now."

   "Any clues? I might be able to help find it."

"Thanks, boss~ But it's impossible." Gu Jieshuang sighed, "It's all just a guess, I can't say whether the lost thing exists or not... Besides, I'm not dissatisfied with the current state, after all , this bloodline really made me a leader among my peers."

  Gu Jieshuang pulled a strand of hair behind her ear, and a smile appeared on her face.

"I haven't finished yet... Didn't the history textbooks say that after the death of Emperor Zulong, the desolate heaven was shattered, and countless fragments of different spaces were scattered in the territory of Yan Kingdom. After Emperor Wu drove out all the desolate beasts, So Xuanhuangwei was disbanded, and they each retreated to the mountains and forests, guarding the nearby space fragments, and preventing the wild beasts from escaping to harm the world... This is the origin of Wuling Village.

"Actually, there are quite a few Wuling villages in this mountain, because there are a lot of space debris here... But now, with the army here, we don't really need us." Gu Jieshuang chuckled, "Yes It is because of this that my mother agreed to send me to school, otherwise, I would have to stay here until I die like everyone else in the village, at most I would join the army, but I wouldn’t leave too far.”

   "Advancing with the times is also a good thing." Yu Cang said.

"Yeah... But sometimes I think, it might be better for me if it's the same as before. After all, I can only live until the age of twenty-five or six. In the blink of an eye, a lifetime might have passed like this... But now, I have gone outside and seen a bigger and better world."

  Gu Jieshuang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and still had a smile on his face: "I'm just...a bit unwilling."

  Yu Cang was silent.

  He didn't know how to comfort Gu Jieshuang.

  Gu Jieshuang opened his eyes, glanced at Yu Cang with a smile, then turned around, came to the portrait of Emperor Wu, and clasped his hands together.

   "You know, boss, I once made a wish here."

   “…what is it?”

"I can already see the end in this life, so I want to make this limited life shine! I want to participate in the World Soul Card Master League, and stand on the duel field at the top of the deceased god's skeleton to receive everyone's attention; I want to Go to a desperate and dangerous place where no one has ever visited, and witness how thunder and storms eat away at the end of the earth; I want to go to Haiting to touch the waterfall and abyss, and see how it has blessed the whole country alone for thousands of years; Go to the Temple of the Sun, and see how the second round of the sun goes out and rekindles on the top of the tower... If I can die on this road instead of a hospital bed, I will have no regrets.

"There are many things I want to do. I have thought about them all, but I haven't figured out which ones to accomplish. Because I have been thinking that if such a person can appear, he will one day I will do something that may never return, and it just so happens that I am a close friend, a partner, or even a closer relationship with him... Then, I will participate in his journey, witness all this with him, and witness each other's lives The end of the... Do you know boss, I originally thought that I would never meet such a person."

  Hearing this, Yu Cang was a little moved, he opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

  At this moment, Gu Jieshuang turned around, and Yu Cang saw some crystal broken light accumulated in her eyes, he couldn't tell whether it was tears or hope for a moment.

"Boss...do you know that what you said in order to reject me before are all bonus points in my opinion." Gu Jieshuang came to Yu Cang gently, "I am the same as you, and I can't give a long-term relationship. future, but I still can't help but want to reach out to others, but the boss can hold back... Sigh, compared to the boss, I am simply a scumbag."

   "...you are not, you also have the right to be loved."

   "Really, then..." Gu Jieshuang bit her lip, raised her head, looked into Yu Cang's eyes, "Will the boss... love me?"

   "I..." Yu Cang opened his mouth, but suddenly stopped.

  He has no experience with how to respond to feelings.

   On the other hand, Qi'er had already covered his face with his hands, his little head was as red as an overripe apple.

   Oh my god, I'm crazy, I'm crazy.

   This is too good!

   I don't know what to do in my brain, Qi'er's face is redder than Gu Jieshuang's now.

  After a long while, the girl still didn't hear Yu Cang's response. She withdrew her hands from her eyes, but what she saw was Yu Cang who was hesitant and Gu Jieshuang whose face was gradually darkening.

What! What are you doing!

   What are you still hesitating about? There is no reason to hesitate.

  Qi'er can't see this.

   Making a decisive decision, Qi'er immediately exerted the greatest strength in his life, and slammed into Yu Cang's back hard!

   "Ah?" Yu Cang, who was thinking about something, was stunned. Before he could control his balance, he felt a fragrant and soft body being hugged in his arms.

"ah…"

"ah?"

   "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

  The two of them froze at the same time.

   "Well, I..." Yu Cang wanted to get away.

   "Don't go...let me hug you." Gu Jieshuang hugged her tightly, and buried her flushed cheeks into Yu Cang's chest.

"…good."

  Time passed quietly.

   I don't know how long it has been.

  Gu Jieshuang took a deep breath on Yu Cang's shoulders, let go of Yu Cang, took a few steps back, lowered his head, and straightened the hair on his forehead.

   "I understand...I won't bother you anymore, boss." Gu Jieshuang's expression was dark, and he was about to turn around and leave.

  At this moment, Yu Cang grabbed Gu Xieshuang's hand.

"etc!"

  Gu Jieshuang paused, then raised his head immediately, looking at Yu Cang with red eyes, not knowing what emotion was contained in it.

   Yu Cang said at this time: "Give me some time, I will cure you... Wait for that time, when your life is no longer bound by anything, and then say something about loving me again, is it okay?"

   "I..." Gu Jieshuang's eyes widened slightly, she couldn't control it anymore, a smile faded on her face with two tears, "Okay!"

  …

  The chess player on the side was flushed and almost fainted.

   Thank you Hungry Clown, Wang__ for your tip!

   A bit of a headache, so much first
