Wei Zhuang was closing his eyes and waiting to die, but he felt a sudden and powerful energy shoot here, and he opened his closed eyes.

In the sky, the floating clouds flowed, and at the moment when the clouds obscured the scorching sun, a black shadow came quickly with the momentum of thunder, approaching Bai Qi's back. If Bai Qi wants to go his own way and kill Wei Zhuang, he will also be attacked and killed by the black shadow behind him. In desperation, Bai Qi had no choice but to put away his gun and turn around, and the gun spun to resist the enemy behind him.

"Snort-bell-" Bai Qi only had time to see clearly that it was an iron sword flying through the air, and there was a person behind it, and he was hit back by the huge impact attached to the flying sword body and was knocked back more than a dozen steps.

"Hundred-step flying sword? No, the incomplete hundred-step flying sword has not been practiced to perfection, who is the person who came to use this stunt? Surprised, Bai Qi looked up, only to see Gai Nie pull up Wei Zhuang, grab the horse and flee.

"Well, young man, Guigu faction, Zonghengjia, I see. It seems that the situation is about to change again. Bai Qi thought silently, he chewed on Wei Zhuang's words when he was in battle just now, and sighed in his heart.

"General, if you want to send someone to chase them down, we will definitely be able to capture them." A Qin soldier on the side of the guard said.

"Forget it, end the battle here as soon as possible, we have to go back to catch bigger fish." Bai Qi looked at the direction where Gai Nie Weizhuang left, waved his hand and said.

……

The remnant sun is like blood all over the sky, the cold geese are flying south and the leaves are one after another, the autumn is slaughtering, it is sluggish, it is hurting, and Zhao Guo's autumn this year has more indelible pain.

Many women and old women wore linen and filial piety, the city was full of plain clothes, paper money was flying, crying and shouting, and the coffins were carried out of Handan City like flowing water. They lost their fathers, husbands, sons, and their homes.

Poor Wanli Guan Mountain Road, every year there are many autumn grasses. In the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping, the Zhao State was defeated, the main general Zhao Kuo was killed by random arrows, and the 400,000 Zhao soldiers who abandoned their weapons and surrendered were ordered to be killed and buried alive by the "killing god" Bai Qi, and only released more than 240 young and frail people to return to the country.

Handan, Nanchenglou Lookout.

"War, how many people's happy homes have been destroyed, I don't understand, why do people fight each other, you fight to the death, bloody killings, people are not tired yet?" Looking at the white filial piety cloth fluttering all over the city, Gai Nie's eyes were full of sadness, and he sighed, and blurted out the thoughts in his heart.

"Where there is a country, there will be war, war breeds peace, and the purpose of war is for a better life and a better tomorrow. If you want peace, you have to be prepared for war. In such troubled times, what is needed is a hero, who pours the sword of baptism with iron and blood, clears all obstacles, and opens the door to peace. Wei Zhuang said firmly, he knows better than anyone that only the destruction of war can break the old shackles and usher in new changes.

"Is it true that war cannot be eliminated? When will there be light in this turbulent world? Gai Nie then asked, not only about his own heart, but also about the person who was struggling in the depths of the water.

"It is the human heart that releases infinite light, and it is also the human heart that creates infinite darkness, light and darkness are intertwined and changeable, this is the world that we are deeply attached to but there is all kinds of helplessness. The way of vertical and horizontal, born for war, died for peace, life, life, only in this turmoil, people feel beautiful. Wei Zhuang thought about it and slowly opened his mouth to reply.

"In war, it is always the people at the bottom who suffer, and only those who fight for the happy life of the people are righteous. Ending this troubled world as soon as possible is the responsibility and burden that we fall on the disciples of Guigu, what do you think, Xiaozhuang? Gagne asked again.

"Ending the war with war, unifying six countries with one country, and returning to a world like Xia Shang Zhou, there are not many countries without too many battles. Just like the highest level of martial arts is in the word 'wu', and the martial arts are superior to the Ge Zhi Ge Fang. ”

Wei Zhuang paused, and then said: "This trial is over, the master sent a letter asking us to go back, there are too many sad memories in this sad place, senior brother, let's go, time will erase the wounds of the soul, even if it is so close to the pain of the country." ”

Gai Nie looked up at the sky silently, the sky was so gray and gray, just like the future of Zhao Guo, he couldn't see the sun.

……

The clouds are light and the wind is light, the green trees and grass, the golden light of the morning sun is sprinkled on the morning dew, shining, crystal clear, this is the common morning scenery in the ghost valley, but today is an extraordinary day.

"This test is very important, and it is your last chance to prove whether you can go further and inherit the Ghost Valley Peerless Learning. There are two Xuan Tigers by your side, the fastest and most ferocious beasts in the Ghost Valley, three times larger than ordinary tigers. After a while, the floodgates that shut them will open, and the four Xuanhu will be released from the cage at the same time and enter the passage, which is straight and does not have any forks, so once the Xuanhu is released, they will have only one destination. At the end of the passage, there is one person tied to each of them, before that, these four Xuanhu have been hungry for three whole days, and once the Xuanhu is released, you must make a decision. The life and death of these four people are completely in your hands, Xuanhu's speed is very fast, and no one can stop the two opposite Xuanhu at the same time. Your contest starts now. The Guigu faction dominates the world, the first thing is a decisive word, the so-called decision is to be able to decide the most valuable and worthwhile thing to do. I hope you can deliver the most satisfactory answers. ”

Guiguzi sat cross-legged on the wooden steps under the eaves of the quiet room, looked at the two disciples standing under the wooden steps, and opened his mouth to say the purpose of gathering here today.

"Bang... The heavy stone gate slowly rose upward, and Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang walked into the slightly damp and gloomy passage of the competition, and everything here was exactly as the master described.

The sound of the chain movement sounded, and the mechanism in the passage began to activate, and the four hungry Xuanhu who chose to devour people rushed out of the iron cage at a rapid speed, rushing towards the four people who were bound by the chains at the end of the passage.

With a "poof", the cold light came out of the sheath, Wei Zhuang did not hesitate to get the sword, but Gai Nie froze in place, and there was no movement for the time being.

……

"Dead?" Guiguzi, who was sitting quietly on the wooden board under the eaves of the wooden roof, heard the sound of thin footsteps and opened his mouth to ask.

"One died, one saved. However, the one who died should also thank me, at least, I avenged him. Wei Zhuang, who came back from completing the task quickly, said lightly.

"Where's Senior Brother?" Wei Zhuang glanced at it and didn't find Gai Nie's figure, he originally thought that Senior Brother Gai Nie would at least complete it at the same time as himself, or even better than himself.

The daylight gradually set in the west, the golden black falls, the moon rises, and the dark sky begins to appear with stars.

"Click... The footsteps of ...", Wei Zhuang turned his head to see that Senior Brother Gai Nie came back empty-handed, with a slightly tangled expression on his face.

"You failed, this test, Xiao Zhuang wins."

"With your strength, you can at least save one person, and the first thing to do is a decision, the so-called decision is to be able to decide the most valuable and worthwhile thing to do. You can recognize the limits of your ability, make effective judgments at the first time, remedy and use unfavorable results, and what you do reminds you of Su Qin and Pang Juan back then. ”

Looking at Gai Nie, who came back, Guiguzi began to announce the results of this competition. The first is the comment on Weizhuang.

"Hmph, Su Qin, I see." Wei Zhuang clasped his hands on his shoulders and pouted.

"You tried to save both, but you didn't save both. Choose to live, and you will die; Choose to win, and you will lose. In this world, the winner is born and the loser dies. Before the victory or disadvantage of the world, life and death are only inevitable cause and effect. In today's world, the seven kingdoms are in strife, and no matter how you choose, there will inevitably be sacrifices. The vertical and horizontal, the way of heaven and earth, don't say that it is just two human lives, even if the people in the world are placed in front of them, what is the difference? This test is not about rebirth and death, but about making a decision. Guiguzi looked at Gai Nie and said earnestly.

"Aren't you reborn?" Gay muttered.

"You can't be above all beings, you can't let go of life and death, and the dreams that you can't realize at all in your heart are the reason why you failed today. With your and Wei Zhuang's qualifications, you may be able to become the most limitless immortal talent in the three hundred years of Guigu. But if you don't understand what I'm telling you today, you'll fail again. ”

Seeing Gai Nie's confusion, Guiguzi spoke again, with a hint of seriousness in his tone.

……

The sound of the water splashed, and Gai Nie jumped from a glittering cliff and fell into the cold pool formed by the stream to reflect, the icy water irritated his nerves, and his mind cleared.

"You forgot the first sentence you said when you stepped into the Ghost Valley, as a descendant of the Ghost Valley, what you ask for is a necessary victory, not a defeat." When he fell from the cold pool, the warning words spoken by Master Guiguzi when he stood on the top of the mountain sounded in Gai Nie's ears again.

Now Ganie's thoughts are repeated, there are two different and unpredictable paths in front of him, he doesn't know how to choose, what is right and what is wrong, and now his heart is like a boat in the wind and waves, swaying, and it may capsize at any moment.

The deep water is cold, cold to the bone, luck is breathing, and Gai Nie, who breathes instead of breathing through the mouth and nose, just thinks quietly and thinks.

Dotted with stars, shining brightly, Gai Nie opened his eyes and looked at the night sky from the water, with a flash of inspiration, and seemed to have figured out something for a while.

"Master, I haven't forgotten that some dreams, although they are out of reach, are not, they are impossible to achieve, as long as I am strong enough."
