13. The death of the Gu Eagle
The more Gui Kun looked at it, the more angry he became, and he tried his best to please Hu Xueling, but she didn't look at it. The man said a few words, and she chased after him instead.
"What kind of foot is this horse?" he asked subconsciously.
The guards behind him stared wide-eyed, and no one wanted to mess with him, but someone still had to answer after all. Finally, a bold guard stood up and said, "It seems that he is a local, he is still a poor ghost, maybe Miss Hu is going to ask for directions." ”
"Damn!" Gui Kun felt embarrassed, and turned back to the guards and scolded. "You all give me spiritual points, whoever finds that monster will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and whoever kills that monster will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold. ”
As soon as the guards heard this, they were eager to try, took out their housekeeping skills, and scattered.
"Stop, I have a few questions for you. Hu Xueling and Shi Yuanji walked side by side, leaning on the hilt of the sword with one hand, and asked in a flat tone.
Shi Yuanji glanced at her: "I said, I haven't seen the monster on the pattern, you guys are not finished yet?"
Hu Xueling smiled slightly: "You misunderstood, I didn't want to ask this." I am here to kill the man-eating monster, after all, this fang has been harming the northern border for many years. ”
"But what about you? Walking among these barren mountains with one man and one horse is a little surprising. With that, Hu Xueling flicked her fingers, and the sword revealed an inch-long edge, which was dazzling.
"What are you suspecting?" Shi Yuanji didn't mean to panic at all, and Hu Xueling couldn't help but be more vigilant when she saw this.
"I suspect that you raised that monster, but of course, if you give a credible reason, I can let my suspicions go. ”
It's a bastard, Shi Yuanji scolded in his heart.
"Why is Your Excellency so domineering? I have not harmed you, but you have shown your sword to me because of a suspicion, what is the reason?"
"It seems that you don't want to say it?" Hu Xueling drew her sword and drove her horse in front of Shi Yuanji. "I can let you say it, or you can say it yourself, the difference is that you don't see blood. ”
The old horse didn't seem to see Hu Xueling's sword, and walked straight over. For some reason, the jujube red horse under her crotch consciously made way for the old horse, no matter how she ordered, she didn't care, and even ignored the whip in Hu Xueling's hand.
“...... This guy!" Hu Xueling looked at this scene in disbelief, and the sword in her hand was unstable.
Wang Qi hurriedly persuaded: "Miss, this man's origin is unknown, and we are not familiar with this place, you can't be willful." ”
"No, how can it be reasonable, in the capital, which man dares to disobey me? I want to see who this guy is sacred?" she was so angry that she drove her horse after her.
Shi Yuanji scolded the old horse under his crotch in a low voice: "At that time, you asked you to hurry up, but you didn't listen, but now you are majestic, what's the use? Look, trouble is coming up again!"
The old horse shook his head, and Shi Yuanji patted its neck angrily: "Shake your head and shake your head, shake your head all day, I don't know what you're thinking?"
"Hmm, it's the breath of the Gu Eagle, it's nearby?" Shi Yuanji pulled the reins and stopped the old horse.
Hu Xueling drove her horse and stabbed at Shi Yuanji's back: "Why are you here? Tell me clearly, otherwise don't blame Miss Ben for being polite." ”
A beastly roar came from Hu Xueling's side, startling her off her horse. I saw that the Gu Eagle opened its bloody mouth, flew over and bit the jujube red horse, and swallowed it cleanly.
The Gu Eagle stared at Hu Xueling with scarlet eyes and said, "Hmm, arrogant mortal, who has followed me like a fly for so long, I am merciful that I didn't kill you, and you are still chasing after you, it is simply bold!"
Hu Xueling was already frightened, sitting on the ground, motionless.
"Evil animal, suffer death!" Wang Qi slashed down, and the Gu Eagle gently dodged. He originally wanted to make a false knife and then rescue Hu Xueling, who was already scared stupid, but he didn't expect that his intentions had already been seen through, and he was slapped by the Gu Eagle and flew out.
When Gui Kun saw this scene, he was already so frightened that his whole body trembled and was dumbfounded, but the guards around him rushed over one by one.
"Rush, a thousand taels of gold!"
These guards showed their skills, some held sharp blades to attack the head and abdomen of the Gu Eagle, some held magic weapons to cast various spells, and some opened their bows and arrows to aim at the Gu Eagle's eyes. For a while, spells and sharp arrows flew together, shouting and screaming resonated, it was really chaotic.
"You guys be careful, don't hurt Hu Xueling, whoever wants to hurt her, I will let your whole family die a good death!" Gui Kun finally woke up from his fright and hurriedly ordered.
Under the bewitchment of Jin Qianliang, who could still listen to Gui Kun's warning. The guards scrambled to show off their skills, and they all wanted to cut off the head of the Gu Eagle with their own hands.
"Mortals like flies, go and die!" the Gu Eagle rushed towards the swords of the guards, the sharp sword broke under its claws, spells and arrows were blocked by its rough fur, and the few guards who rushed to the front were opened by its fangs, and the dark and quiet pine forest immediately flowed into a river of blood.
When the guards in the back saw this bloody scene, they all stopped and looked at each other. A few clever guards had already run away, a few more were ready to fight with their own skills, and the rest were so frightened that they couldn't walk, and they had given up resisting.
The Gu Eagle licked its lips, its scarlet eyes reflecting everyone's horrified expressions, and it raised its claws, ready to harvest again.
It leaped to its feet, only to be pulled back by a brute force. Looking back, Shi Yuanji grabbed its tail with both hands and locked it firmly.
"I almost forgot you, what are you here for?" Gu Diao sneered and said gloomily. "Alas, it doesn't matter, since you are the only one who comes, then the great god of Fusang is probably in his place? Then you will die, as an acquaintance, I can give you a good time. ”
The Gu Eagle just wanted to use his strength to bite Shi Yuanji, but he didn't expect Shi Yuanji to also use force in his hand, and he picked up the Gu Eagle stiffly, and then threw it out and hit a large pine tree.
"Then I still thank you for giving me a good time?" Shi Yuanji patted the dust on his hands and said to the guards. "Why are you stunned? Don't run, you're no match for it, don't waste your life. ”
The frightened guards came to their senses, and hurriedly ran away without even saying a word of thanks, and some of the guards who wanted to fight weighed the pros and cons a little, and then bowed their hands to express their gratitude and left.
When Gui Kun saw the guards fleeing in a hurry, he angrily scolded: "What are you doing? Who let you go? My father is the imperial historian of the dynasty, if you disobey my orders, I will let my father kill your whole family!"
"And you, what kind of thing are you poor ghost? The person who dares to order me? Do you know who I am? My father is Gui Yihu, I ......"
Shi Yuanji didn't want to deal with them, but this boy was as noisy as five hundred ducks, Shi Yuanji had no choice but to look at him sharply, and Gui Kun closed his mouth when he was under Shi Yuanji's gaze.
"This son, I don't know who your father is, and I'm not interested in knowing. I only know that this is a barren mountain, so you better be polite to others. ”
"Look here, there is no village in front of the village, there is no store in the back, it is a good place to kill people and sell goods. Here, if I do you, who will know? When the time comes, your powerful father will find out, and the murderer will directly push the black cauldron on the head of the Gu carving. ”
Shi Yuanji smiled slightly, and said sinisterly: "By the way, the Gu Eagle is the monster that showed its might just now, you have seen it." ”
Gui Kun's voice trembled, and he pointed at Shi Yuanji and said, "You...... How dare you ......"
"You're mistaken, I'm not talking about me being you. Shi Yuanji said as he walked towards the Gu Eagle. "It's too unwise for you to let your men die when you know you are invincible. Push them into a hurry, and they'll do you. ”
When Gui Kun heard this, he was terrified after cold sweat, and he was stunned and didn't know what to do.
"What are you doing in a daze? Your men are all running away, and you are running too. Shi Yuanji said with a smile.
Gui Kun suddenly came to his senses, turned his horse's head in embarrassment, and ran away in a puff of smoke.
The Gu Eagle struggled to get up in a daze, knocking down all the pine trees around him. He didn't expect that this mortal would grow to this point after only ten years.
"Impossible, mere mortal, how could it be ......"
It adjusted its steps, spewed hot air from its nostrils, and with all its strength, rushed straight towards Shi Yuanji.
Shi Yuanji lamented: "Gu Eagle, why bother? You and I don't have to work hard. ”
He pinched out his finger, and a *** hit the Gu eagle's horns, and the thunder and lightning immediately pierced it, shattering its internal organs.
The Gu Eagle suffered pain, his feet were unstable, and he fell out by inertia, plowing a long furrow on the ground.
"You ......" Gu Diao spat out blood, his skin and flesh were open, and he couldn't fight anymore. "Are you going to let go of the Shadows? I can't let you go. ”
Shi Yuanji came to the Gu Eagle and said gently: "I am indeed the master who ordered the release of Xuan Ming, but you don't have to be like this, the two of us are not enemies of life and death." ”
"Do you know who she is? She is the god of creation and the god of destruction. The Gu Eagle scolded him hard, and blood foamed at his mouth. "If you release her, the entire Taixu will be destroyed!"
Shi Yuanji sighed lightly: "Gu Eagle, why don't you understand? Mortals like us are not qualified to participate in the war between the gods at all. ”
"You're worried that Xuan Ming will destroy the entire Tai Void, but you should also know that Xuan Ming has a sister named Chaos, right? She is also a God of Destruction! It's just that their methods of destroying the universe are different. ”
"What's the use of you locking up Xuanming? Can you keep the chaos in check? We mortals who are struggling to survive on the earth, why bother with these things, it's just to bury this universe called Taixu. ”
Shi Yuanji looked at the Gu Eagle with pity: "We don't have the strength to fight against these gods, so let them fight by themselves, maybe in the aftermath of their fight, we mortals can still die happily." ”
The Gu Eagle smiled bitterly, and as the blood flowed into his lungs, his laughter was accompanied by a violent cough: "According to your meaning, it makes no sense for me to volunteer to guard here for eight hundred years?"
"Meaning: Life has no meaning in the first place, and that's all for us. Shi Yuanji said decadently.
"I see, my meaning ends here, and I don't want to live anymore. A lake of blood formed under the Gu Eagle, and he closed his eyes and whispered. "When I die, those mortals will surely slaughter my flesh for their glory, and that would be a pity. ”
"Take off my horns and claws, and refine them into your weapons. Rather than being humiliated by mortals after death, it is better to be majestic in your hands again!"
Shi Yuanji looked at Hu Xueling and Gui Kun, who were hiding not far away, and said firmly: "Okay, I promise you." ”
"Thank you!" The light in the Gu Eagle's eyes gradually dissipated, and his body gradually stiffened, and he died after a while.
