Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Past Is Like a Dream
The cultivation of the Sword Hearing Dao is in full swing, and the challenge belonging to Gu Tian will also enter the main topic!
Gu Tian, who was walking alone in a pitch-black consciousness space, seemed to have returned to the bloody and weird mine.
But this time it was different, he could sense Willow's presence anywhere in the space, but he couldn't find her voice no matter which direction he went. He was like an illusory bait, constantly seducing Gu Tian to run forward until he used all his strength.
——!A short, high-frequency harsh sound suddenly sounded, and Gu Tian closed his eyes in pain, covered his head, squatted on the ground, and when he opened it again, he was no longer in the dark space of consciousness.
Familiar landscapes, familiar times, familiar experiences are repeating themselves. Gu Tian's expression was complicated, and there was a faint sharp pain in his heart. The luxurious compound that appeared in front of him now was the Gu family compound!
A pair of grandchildren were walking through Gu Tian's body towards the Gu family, and Gu Tian realized that he was just a phantom and didn't really exist here. And those two people who are drifting apart are the old and childhood selves.
That's right, Gu Tian didn't live in the Gu family since he was a child. When he was five years old, after his mother died of illness, he was taken back by his father, who was the head of the Gu family, to return to his ancestors. The reason is simple, because he was just an accident!
After a night of romance, his father sent his mother, who was a maid, out of the Gu family. Because he was very afraid of his wife, he didn't dare to let her know about it. If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Zhengwu happened to pass away on the same day as Gu Tian's mother, he wouldn't dare to take Gu Tian back home.
The door slowly opened, and his father was standing behind the door, waiting for the two of them to come step by step, even in the face of his father, Xiao Gu Tian was still extremely calm, as if the person in front of him was not his father but a stranger.
"Am I so precocious?" Gu Tian smiled bitterly as he looked at the reunited father and son. At that time, Gu Gu was only in his fifties, most of his hair was still black, he was having a headache for Xiao Gu Tian's indifference, when the two were alone, Xiao Gu Tian was obviously a cheerful child, why did he have a tense face and no smile at all when he saw his father?
"I've understood it from the beginning......" Gu Tian looked at the ancient self-talk who was constantly making little Gu Tian laugh, "If I don't have a strong talent, how can the Gu family let me recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors?"
Father doesn't care about Gu Tian's indifference at all, Xiao Gu Tian's strong talent gives him the capital of pride and indifference, as long as he can grow up normally, let alone treat him indifferently with a cold face, even if he doesn't call him a father in this life, it doesn't matter!
The door was closed, and Gu Tian also closed his eyes.
He knew that from this day on, the simple life of this cold-faced child had left him, and the future would be a difficult time of extremely complicated and careful every step.
The scene changes, and countless years have passed before a flash.
The cold-faced kid back then has grown into a handsome young man, and he is also the strongest in the entire Gu family, and even the entire young generation of Wuyang! There are constantly people inside and outside the family who want to challenge his strength, but they are all leveled out one by one!
It was another three-clan competition, and this was the second time he participated in the martial arts competition jointly organized by the three families to test the disciples of the family. Last time, Gu Tian had already reached the top eight just after he started cultivating, but this time he only had the champion in his eyes!
He only made one move in each battle, and each of them was able to block the slight swing of the cyan long sword in his hand! He was as powerful as a powerful hand pinching the throat of his opponent, and they had already lost before they even played.
The long cheers made Xiao Gu Tian couldn't help but feel proud, he looked around at the young people of his peers and looked at him on the stage with envy, all the elders of the Gu family thought he was powerful and smiled, I heard that the clan elders had agreed to his father's suggestion to make him the next head of the Gu family.
But all this is not as good as those charming eyes.
Gu Tian has stood at the apex of this generation, all geniuses will live under his powerful shadow, and now he has a stunning beauty by his side to share everything with him!
Yang Manni, the name that made Gu Tian unforgettable! She was standing beside her eldest brother Gu Zizhen and looked at him on the stage with admiration. Gu Tian on the stage also met her eyes at this time, and then did not take his eyes off again.
Looking at the two people who looked at each other, Gu Tian's gaze was cold and full of hatred at first, then he became still dumb and ashamed, and finally regained his calm again, but the two lines of tears slipped silently.
It is now, witnessing the first acquaintance of the two, recalling everything that happened after and what he thought at that time. Only then did Gu Tian realize that his feelings for Yang Manni were just not love, but just the pure possessiveness of a naïve child!
"If I had been in this state of mind, maybe nothing would have happened after that, right?" Gu Tian was surprised to find that his voice was a little hoarse. It turned out that the longing never disappeared, but he forgot about it.
The scene changes slightly, and the memory pushes forward one day again. The same ring, the same audience, standing in front of Gu Tian was a young man dressed in white like snow with long flowing hair. He held a silver-white spear in his hand, a little reserved, and the only supporters were the mother in the audience, who was weak but still shouting cheers as much as she could.
Until the war, his eyes stayed on his mother in the audience. He had been worried that his frail mother would faint from overexcitement. The mother and son of the two are in their eyes. The fists clenched tightly imperceptibly.
It's envy! This strong maternal love has been lost forever!
"I won't lose! Because I don't want to disappoint my mother!" was the first thing Chen Rulong said to him!
The battle between the two of them also began at the moment when this declaration fell! The silver-white spear turned into a lightning dragon and rushed towards him, and for the first time, the mighty heavenly power completely suppressed his invincibility!
The restrained Chen Rulong fought extremely violently and boldly, Gu Tian's mood was frustrated and he was beaten by his spear and retreated, and he was obviously more advantageous, and he was already defeated less than five minutes after the opening game! Everyone held their breath and couldn't believe their eyes at all.
One side is the strongest king who crushes all the way, and the other side is a nobody who fights extremely hard in every game, and when it comes to fighting, it turns out that the nobody has the advantage of being sharp!?
"I'm really lucky!" Gu Tian couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at himself who was almost crushed, "This battle, if it weren't for Chen Rulong's lack of experience and exhaustion of his aura in advance, I would have lost a long time ago!"
Sure enough, with the passage of time, Chen Rulong's movements began to stagnate, and he couldn't attack for a long time because he consumed too much spiritual energy in a short period of time, which caused some damage to the meridians in his body, and the spiritual qi began to break, and Gu Tian had already calmed down the problem of his mentality, and steadily defended Chen Rulong's spiritual energy.
The silver dragon's condensed body was a little illusory, and the fierce attack once again appeared to stagnate for a moment, Gu Tian seized the fleeting opportunity and fought hard to directly lift Chen Rulong to the stage, victory had come, but Gu Tian still knelt on the floor with a confused face.
For the first time, he felt that victory was not easy, and all his pride disappeared in this bitter battle, which also made him remember the name of this fierce opponent - Chen Rulong!
There was louder applause than yesterday, but it was not for him the winner, but for the loser in the audience who hugged his mother and cried bitterly. Anyone with a little strength can see that he is not losing in strength, but in experience.
But what does it matter? How old is he now? He's so young!
