Prequel: The Secret of Qingshui City Chapter 13: The Last Senior Brother

"Long time no see, Senior Brother Gu. ”

He withdrew his gaze from him, his eyes darkened, and there was a hint of sadness and nostalgia in his eyes.

"Senior Brother Zhuyin, it has been a year and a few months since you said goodbye to Lingzhu Peak last time you said goodbye to me. ”

He gradually paced from the mountains and forests, his indifferent face, a pair of deep-sighted eyes, the bottom of the eyes was calm, and occasionally a subtle light flashed, which was also fleeting, making people not easy to notice.

"One year, two months and three days. ”

His broad shoulders shrugged, his eyes blazing ahead, and he said.

"I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly. Beneath his thick black eyebrows were a pair of sword-like eyes, flashing with a sharp edge.

"That day is so hard to forget, it's really unforgettable. There was neither anger nor sorrow in his cold eyes, and they seemed numb and strange.

"How are you doing in the Gu family?" In his cold eyes, it seemed like a flame had been rekindled, but it was fleeting.

"Gu Lao is very good to me, and my parents have not been in good health for a few years when I have been away from home. He stared at him with a stern look that was a bit inquiring and distrustful.

When talking about his parents, Takein's solid eyes were slightly moved that he couldn't control anymore.

"Then why are you here this time? He leaned down and picked up the freshly cooked herbs again, his gaze like two sharp swords, straight at each other.

"Aunt Luo Xue, she's sick. "There was a cruel, strange light in those sparkling eyes.

"Senior Brother Gu, I think this shouldn't be your business now, and as early as a year ago, your master-apprentice relationship was completely broken. His eyes were indifferent, and with a look of dismay, he wanted to turn away.

"Takein, come back home with me!"

He heard a heart-rending voice behind him, and he stared at him for so long, his deep gaze full of hope and imperceptible sadness.

His steps were stunned, and the hand that was silently holding the medicine jar trembled slightly, and his cold eyes were dyed with a trace of vitality.

"That's your home! not mine. He couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and walked towards Zhou Yusheng's house more firmly.

His steps were frivolous, his eyes were even more sloppy, like a walking corpse walking on this distant ancient road, and his world suddenly lost all sound.

"I'm sorry! ”

His eyes were full of resentment, hatred, and sentimentality.

"They forced me, if you want to blame it, you have a father who has a blood feud with our Gu family!" His bloodshot eyes were suddenly bloodshot like a lion's rage, revealing grief and resentment, and he stared at him with hatred.

He froze suddenly, and Takekure's gaze colliding with it, intertwining in the air, as if lightning and thunder were exploding in the air.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold and cruel color shot out of his eyes, which was cold-blooded and ruthless, which made people shudder.

His eyes flickered, his body came slowly, he only felt a tightening of his wrist, and a sharp pain quickly came. It was a large, thick and powerful hand, the palm of which was covered with calluses, thick and strong, like iron tongs, and tightly grasped his wrist.

"Senior Brother Gu, your hand!" he stared at him with painful eyes, making him feel uneasy and worried.

He withdrew his hand in a state of confusion, the emotional "senior brother" was like yesterday, the soft and glutinous, somewhat restrained young man, when he first came to Lingzhu Peak, he saluted himself and called out to senior brother.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

When he was entangled in his heart, he shouted three sorry to Zhuyin in a hoarse voice, and it seemed that there were two villains fighting in his heart, which made him gradually unable to control himself and became crazy.

He quickly sealed in his hand, and quickly typed a mantra.

I saw that on the dry palms, a cyan flame appeared on the five knuckled fingers, and under the reflection of the firelight, it seemed that the face was hideous and distorted.

He manipulated the arms of the flames, and the white robes instantly turned to ashes, and the sky was swirled and burst like a ragged rag that had been burned.

Revealing the arm that looked like a soldering iron, there was a red rune that was dripping like a blood spot in the terrifying deep purple.

"Zhu Yin, you showed your amazing martial arts attainments on the Lingzhu Peak back then, the Gu family will not raise tigers to cause trouble, nor will they let a threat survive in this world, now I have opened up the spiritual vein, the Gu family trusts me and sends me to deal with you." ”

The sorrow between his eyebrows was even stronger, and under the frowning eyebrows, a pair of clear black eyes had long since lost their former brilliance and became dull.

"Because they know that if you continue to grow like this, you will become the biggest obstacle to their annexation of Shaolin. ”

Takein's expression was indifferent, and his eyes were calm.

He stood silently, staring ahead for a long time, a light smoke flashing in his eyes, it flickered away, subtle and complex, difficult to understand.

"There has never been a shortage of geniuses like you in this world, so is Lin Chufeng, and so are you. You know that an unknown person, from the moment he was born, the moment his talent was qualitatively determined, he has already failed, so I am here, and I also want to tell you that there is never any fairness in the way of cultivating the truth. ”

On the way to cultivating the truth, there is never any fairness at all.

His eyes were hollow, and his gaze became disoriented.

"I know that you are not yet old enough to open up the spiritual vein, so I came alone, and now the people of the Gu family under the mountain have already dragged the abbots of the Open Meditation Conference. ”

He glanced at him quickly, turned his head evasively, and a hint of tangle flashed in his eyes, no lack of struggle and pain.

"Senior Brother Gu, farewell that day. I haven't had time to ask for your advice. A rare clear color made the empty eyes refocus, and the bottom of the deep eyes instantly swept through a touch of imperceptible sadness.

His cold eyes just looked at everything in front of him so calmly.

He wasn't trying to avoid his gaze.

"That year, Zhu Dye personally taught you the Dharma sword technique, I don't know how good you are now, but I know that you will never let me down. ”

He sighed softly and turned around slowly, no one noticed, and his perceptive eyes revealed a hint of loneliness that was difficult to hide.

"My sword never disappoints anyone, but this does not include you, a person who does not even take refuge in the master, can he learn the Buddha well?

"Please advise!"

A sudden surge of sword intent erupted from the body like a volcanic eruption without warning.

He slowly drew the sword from his sheath, and his raised hands drew an elegant arc, and in an instant, the cold tip of the sword pointed at the young man.

Senior Brother Gu suddenly shot out from the sword qi with a fierce murderous aura, and he was stunned.

But he is not an ordinary person, and the next second he is back to normal.

"Fire Refining Palm!"

He clasped his hands together, and two cyan flames were constantly squeezed in the palm of his hand, and as his hands rotated the flames in them, they got closer and closer, gradually bursting out with a power that was enough to burn out the air.

Zhu Yin will not sit still, holding the palm of the sword, it appears in front of him like a shapeshift, the sand and dust under his feet have not faded, and a sword is enough to open the gold and stone.

Under the sword, he showed a strange smile instead

I saw that the hands that were still condensing the flames suddenly extinguished, and a stream of heat gushing out of the cracks in the ground rose from the ground like a fire tree blooming, and a rapid fire rose towards the bamboo to the sky.

A relentless flame devoured him like a lion's mouth, and the raging fire seemed to cling to the deep sword intent.

Finally, he saw the opportunity very quickly, hurriedly withdrew his sword, and jumped backwards, but the front force was lost, the rear strength was weak, and he was in mid-air, suddenly paralyzed, and fell down heavily.

The flames flew out of his cheeks, and the burning intent of the heart slashed across his face, and under the dissolution of the flames, the flesh quickly condensed, leaving a charred scar.

But after all, he had just stepped into the path of cultivation, and after using this trick, the ruddy on his face quickly turned pale, and he was a little strong but lacking in strength.

Takein slapped the ground violently, and his figure stood up from the ground as if it were bouncing up, and in the flash of fire, he could see that the rain of fire washed out of his body.

A vigorous sword intent, mixed with blazing flames, slashed open the wall of fire in front of him with a swipe, and a tall figure quietly came from the wall of fire.

He hurriedly returned his sword to parry, but only one of the swords stabbed into his chest was opened, and with a sneer, the other flying swords that had been waiting in the firelight had made six cuts in his shirt, each of which was six inches long.

Only then did he realize that when he hadn't noticed anything other than the sword he had set up, there were as many as six flying swords that were lethal.

The white shirt was cut by a sword, and it was full of shocking blood.

Those six flying swords pierced every part of the body. He lay on the ground, and the last thing he witnessed was the upside-down medicine jar beside him, the chill flowing and the smell of death lingering.

"Boom!"

He could no longer support the weight of the sword, and the silver sword slipped from his palm.

"If it weren't for the magic weapon and body protector, I might have been hurt by you, and you really never disappointed me. ”

He gasped, the long sword in his hand was already approaching his chest, and with a little force, it could break through it.

"Hurry up if you want to kill! ”

Life and death were in his thoughts, and he still maintained a kind of courage to see through life and death.

He looked at his familiar face, but a strangeness rose in his heart.

"Takein, let's be brothers in the next life. ”

Looking back, he couldn't calm down.

He just looked at Zhu Yin deeply for the last time, with a tacit understanding of acquaintance, acquaintance, and encounter, implying a trace of reluctance, as if there was no trace, but it was deeply difficult to hide, he couldn't help but grit his teeth, and the long sword in his hand went deep into the bone marrow without hesitation.

"Thief!"

"Aunt Luo Xue!"

Senior Brother Gu's long sword suddenly froze in mid-air, and he sent it forward with all his might, but the tip of the sword couldn't push forward even a bit, but the blade slowly arched upward, and at the same time, the internal force poured out sharply.

He looked at the sunset from afar, and his deep eyes flashed with a sense of sadness in the twilight.

"Gu Li, back then, you did such a rebellious thing, deviant, and hurt your fellow senior brother, I was kind enough to let you go back to the Gu family, but I didn't expect that you would not change your dead nature, and you would dare to come to Lingzhu Peak. ”

In mid-air, the graceful figure standing on the back of the acid and the sour, wearing a snow-white long skirt and facing the wind, the pair of hands like Qiong Fang dragged the cold sword intent slowly up.

In her cold gaze, her eyes dimmed, and an unspeakable pain flickered in her beautiful eyes. This tormented look made the anxiety on her face even stronger, and made her whole person look even more haggard.

"A good one is soft-hearted, a good one is deviant, two words will be my Gu Li's heinous words, all betrayal and divorce, but do you know? It is precisely because of your soft-heartedness that you are the culprit who pushed me into the abyss. ”

He looked into the distance with a gloomy look in his eyes, and a wordless loneliness was faintly revealed in it.

Luo Xue was taken aback, and was stunned by what Gu Li said. She stood silently, staring ahead for a long time, a look of intricacy flashing in her eyes. It's fleeting, subtle and complex, and hard to see.

"Do you know? It is precisely because of your soft-heartedness that I have been treated inhumanely in the Gu family, at first I always thought that they asked me to look back at my family because they wanted me to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, and glorify my ancestors, but I was wrong, I was wrong, it turned out that my mother was just a personal servant girl of the head of the Gu family, and I was just a product of violence by a beast, and my mother was a humble identity, and she was not even a plaything. ”

He looked at Luo Xue deeply, the long sword in his hand slowly retracted into its sheath, he leaned down and raised his eyes to look at Zhu Yin, those eyes were so painful and inexplicable, even he didn't know when he would be so self-deceiving.

"Now I am just a pawn of the Gu family, a waste that can be discarded without the value of use. ”

He no longer tried to avoid her gaze.

An imperceptible sadness flashed across her eyes.

She is the kind of person with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, although she usually always looks like she rejects people thousands of miles away, but after getting along for a long time, you will find that she is kind, but she doesn't want others to define her with strange eyes.

A bone-eroding desolate chill gently rippled out from the bottom of his lonely eyes. He lowered his eyes with a soft sigh, tears welling up and his cheeks were cold.

She could not have believed the one-sided words in his mouth, but her eyes suddenly froze and fell on the red blood spots on the red arms.

After a while, the feeling was clear.

"You can go, but I'll nullify your cultivation. ”

There was too much inexplicable, too much indescribable sorrow in her cold gaze, because he knew how painful it was for a person who had entered the path of cultivation to abolish one's cultivation.

There was an unexpectedly calm look in his eyes.

The corners of his mouth curled, a smile that anyone could feel dead and silent, shallow, stiff, and unfolded a smile that was more ugly than crying.

"I know you're saving me. But now, why am I so unwilling, in fact, when I was planted with this blood-devouring fire spot, I actually knew my ending a long time ago,"

Her eyes, which could not hide her sadness, shimmered with a moist sheen, and a heart-rending pain swept through her eyes.

"Originally, I still thought that instead of living as a mortal, it would be better to live a happy life as a cultivator, at least I have been here before, and in the end, this life will not be in vain. ”

In his light and breezy eyes, he was obviously more uncomfortable than anyone else, but the bottom of his cold pool-like eyes was calmer than anyone else.

"Be a mortal and find a good girl, it's actually good to be plain in this life. She couldn't help but look at him, not letting the gaze of pain and reluctance shake the voice in her heart.

He was just a child, and he finally became a cultivator, but it was like a flash in the pan, and he didn't even have time to get out of the Gu family, out of the mountains, and go to the wider world to see.

But she knew that this was irresponsible to Zhuyin, he was now unconscious, to put it bluntly, all thanks to him.

His eyes were dull, and the bottom of his eyes was overshadowed, like a dry well without waves. The sluggish and numb eyes flashed with a sense of despair.

"Luo Xue, I want this child's life. You have to ask me if Gu Luo agrees. ”

Today's Lingzhu Peak is particularly lively, just as Luo Xuepan's body sitting on the acid and body quietly fell with lotus steps, and not far from the cracked ground, a black-clothed masked man came out of the ground.

His whole body was wrapped in black, and even the hat that was much wider than his head made it impossible for Luo Xue to see his true face through the spirit, but his bloated figure could still be clearly seen from his clothes.

This is a magic robe, a real magic weapon.

Just when he wrapped his waist around Gu Li's waist and was about to re-enter the ground, his eyes slowly glanced and saw Zhu Yin lying on the ground, unconscious.

It's just that the skin on his body is now pierced by six long swords, and the blood that gushes out of it no longer flows out of it as if it is dry.

"Gu Li, you kid did a good job. He patted Gu Li's shoulder with satisfaction, and under a gust of gloomy black wind, the thick arms that seemed to be inlaid with gold were shining brightly, and he grabbed the bamboo hidden beside him, and the black wind retracted and drilled back to the ground.

"Bang!"

The black wind, which was only about to completely burrow into the ground in the last half, suddenly got stuck in the Lingzhu Peak with a seismic mountain collapse sound.

He looked up to the sky and laughed and said, "Luo Xue, if you want to take back Zhuyin from my Gu Laosan, take the eight-sided Xuanli of the Purple Fire Temple and come to Xichu Mountain to see me." ”

The huge jade hand that was holding the black wind, suddenly under the action of inertia, there was a heavy muffled sound, and the force that was ripped down drove the force to smash on the Lingzhu Peak, which instantly stirred up a thousand layers of agitation, and the earth shook the mountains.

Breaking free from the shackles of the jade hand, the black wind quickly extended towards the ground, and soon the vibration disappeared, the rapid black wind also disappeared, and Lingzhu Peak returned to its eerie calm.

"Senior Brother Bamboo Dyeing!" Her eyes were eclipsed, her eyes were melancholy, revealing the traces of wind, frost, snow and rain in the years, and a faint persistence passed under her eyes, containing a lifetime of waiting

"There may be people who take care of their families in the view. ”

His gaze staring into the distance was deep and blurry, as if separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, in the hazy and hazy, it was clear that it was difficult to hide the feelings of wandering and loneliness.

"And this person is not small, you said that up to now, I finally believe you the most, you say ridiculous. There was a hint of warmth in his cold gaze.

He smiled at her, the smile in his eyes lingering for a long time, clearly implying an infinite tenderness that was difficult to describe. There was a sense of desolation in his weather-beaten smile.

"Taichu!"

Takeran was stunned for a moment, and after he smiled perfunctorily, he hurriedly turned around and left.

"Zhou Yusheng is poisoned!"

The smile on his face faded, and his expression gradually became solemn. His footsteps obviously stopped forward, and he still chose to turn his back and face Luo Xue's grievances.

"Take me to see it. ”

"It was in that third room that I went back to boiling medicine. ”

Her voice was originally full of enthusiasm, but in the end, it was still defeated by the invulnerability of the iceberg, and she could only smile bitterly.

The summer light poured through the hole in the roof and fell impartially on his young face.

"Squeak"

Takezome softly pushed the door in, and then slowly closed it.

He saw a dilapidated wooden bed, Zhou Yusheng fell there with a painful expression, sweat on his cheeks like rain, but in the end, because it was too difficult, his body throbbed up in pain.

"The sand poison green pulp of the spirit bamboo insect. ”

He saw at a glance the root of his poisoning.

The door opened softly again, and Luo Xue was expressionless and looked very cold.

"He killed the spirit bamboo insect, and finally didn't expect that the poison of this spirit bamboo insect for a hundred years would turn into a sand poison needle, when we rushed over. He had been poisoned. Luo Xue said coldly.

"Killed?" his face was surprised, but not too surprised.

He laughed suddenly, briefly and without warning.

His white and translucent palms gently brushed Zhou Yusheng's face that was hideous because of pain, touched it, and finally smiled.

"He's like him. He said something inexplicable, obviously confused, but he could still read something from his affectionate tone.

"Your name is Zhou Taichu, his name is Zhou Yusheng, you are!" Luo Xue seemed to remember something, and hid her face and exclaimed.

"It's the only relative I have in the world. Before Luo Xue could continue, Zhu Ran took over and said.

"I said why at that time, despite the opposition of Guanli, you brought someone who did not want to take refuge in Buddhism to Guanli. Her expression was abrupt, and finally it dawned on her.

But I don't know why she still likes to see him smile so much, it's obviously ugly, but she just wants to get closer to see his smile.

"I'll go get the medicine. She turned around hurriedly, gasping for air, patting her chest and smiling.

"Luo Xue, I also have to go back, now the view is in a mess, I have to preside over the overall situation, for the rest of his life, he will ask you, I will come back in a few days." ”

His lost gaze was full of sorrow and farewell, and it also implied the expectation of meeting again.

"Good. Luo Xue, who was still carefully boiling medicinal materials, was stunned when she heard this, and finally nodded.
