Volume 1 Unforgettable Chapter 23 Climbing the Ladder
"I didn't expect you to have a fragment of the ladder on your body......" The girl who was still retreating turned cold, and the dagger she had just recovered in her hand was unsheathed again in an instant!
According to the reason, Gu Yi as the center of the radius of five zhang is his sword intent, only one thought is needed to be able to reach any position within five zhang, just like when trying the sword valley, Cheng Chumo and him stand opposite each other, the two are only three or four zhang apart, so Gu Yi was able to let Cheng Chumo, who had already seen the door of the Fourth Realm Enlightenment Spirit Realm, not even pull out his sword.
But he forgot that when he was held hostage, he had already dissipated the spiritual power in his body.
The sword intent controls the sword qi, and the sword qi comes from the spiritual power in the body.
Although the power and realm of sword intent do not need spiritual power support, they are still greatly affected in the end, after all, cultivation is the foundation, and sword intent is only a means. Therefore, the power of his sword intent has not decreased too much, but the range is only three zhang long.
And the girl in front of her is different, she seems to be nothingness in Gu Yi's divine consciousness, there is none, and I am afraid that even Zong Chuke is no exception to this, otherwise with his realm cultivation, he will never let a cultivator who is out of the third realm hold him hostage.
But the emptiness in the divine consciousness does not mean that Gu Yi can't feel the existence of the girl, as if there is something related to the girl in his purple mansion, although he can't feel the specific location, but he can vaguely sense whether the girl is far away or close to him, whether it is in the east or the west.
But this has greatly reduced Gu Yi's biggest means.
If the sword intent still needs to be tossed and turned in the end, when the divine consciousness can't sense her existence, it can only lock the position with its gaze and then think about the next step of commanding the sword intent, which leaves a time gap, and this interval may be a tiny time that ordinary people can't react to at all, but for cultivators, a blink of an eye can already decide the outcome or even life and death.
"Stop!"
As the girl who had been retreating drank softly in her mouth, the right hand holding the dagger gently waved downward, and the suction that had been attracting Gu Yi stopped and dissipated in an instant.
When Gu Yi stopped, he was only one zhang away from the girl, but it was this distance that made Gu Yi feel a chill.
He looked at the girl opposite, his eyes full of disbelief.
How could she be better than herself?
Gu Yi, who had the idea that he would lose for the first time, didn't trust his instincts for the first time, and when he drove himself to stab the girl around the girl with a sword that seemed to be able to do it like an arm, Gu Yi knew for the first time what his master meant by what he said to him before he left the mountain.
"The so-called swordsman is a person who uses a sword, if he doesn't even have a sword in his hand, how can he be called a swordsman?
The two of them were five feet apart, and the girl's arm was connected to the distance of the dagger, and the cold light on the tip of the dagger was attached to Gu Yi's eyebrows.
The sword intent was attached around the girl, but in the end, it was still a line off.
It's just such a line, it's a judgment of life and death.
No matter how fast the sword intent is, it also needs to detect the opponent's whereabouts in order for the sword intent to predict the opponent's next move.
However, if Gu Yi had a sword in his hand, he didn't need sword intent, but only needed to read the sword to the sword.
"It's a shame. The girl suddenly laughed, "You are better than me, but I am faster than you." ”
For the first time, Gu Yi felt that he really needed a sword. A natal sword that can accompany you for the rest of your life.
"You won. Gu Yi shrugged his shoulders, and he couldn't see that there was half a point of loss and decadence on his face because of being controlled by the girl in front of him.
"The disciple of the dignified Kunlun head Emperor Yasheng would lose in the hands of a little woman who has no name, if this matter spreads...... You say, how many people in this world will lose their big teeth?" the corners of the girl's eyes were crooked with laughter at this moment, as if she was extremely complacent.
"Although I don't know what the ladder is, I do know that this thing is definitely not ordinary. Gu Yi didn't seem to see the sudden coldness in the eyes of the girl in front of him, and continued to himself: "And you who can own this thing, I think even if you are not famous, it is just because there are not many people who know you." ”
"In the eyes of some people in this world, maybe you are more famous than me. Such a famous woman is about to become a killer assassin, and she is so resentful of the royal family, is it possible that your family has been beheaded" The young man's voice had not yet fallen, but he had already felt that his brows were close to the little cold light, and he had already felt a little water trace.
It was the red blood left behind by the dagger tip of his eyebrows, because the girl was subconsciously trembling because of Gu Yi's words just now.
"You ......" The girl's gaze was already full of killing intent, but just as she opened her mouth and just said a word, Gu Yi took a step back to the left, and the originally abundant sword intent within three zhang instantly surrounded the girl in the middle.
In just a few words, he finally re-condensed a little spiritual power in his body, although it was not much, but at this life-and-death juncture, it reversed the situation of both sides in one fell swoop.
The girl's clothes were not torn, but she could feel that even the slightest tremor of herself would cause at least several sword qi to cut through her body.
In an instant, the positions of the two completely changed.
The girl locked her brows and closed her eyes, I don't know if it was because the girl changed from a hunter who controlled the life and death of the prey to a prey at this moment, or because she had humiliated Gu Yi just now, but she became his prisoner.
Just when the girl was ready for Gu Yi's cold words, she suddenly felt that the sword intent around her disappeared.
She opened her eyes suddenly, only to see that Gu Yi had already turned her back and walked towards the city at the foot of the mountain.
"You're not going to kill me?"
The girl stood in place, her eyes puzzled or stunned.
Gu Yi didn't look back, and he didn't even pause.
"Now that you're out of town, it's time for me to go back. After Gu Yi finished speaking, he seemed to feel that there was something missing to say this, and a wry smile appeared on his face with his back to the girl, "Anyway, you kidnapped me out of the city from the beginning, and I also want to help you get out of the city." Now that we've both achieved our goals, why am I staying here?"
"Help me?" The girl looked at the young man's back as he faded away, and the doubts in her eyes became more and more intense.
Seven years ago, one of the six departments of the Tang Dynasty, the family of Lord Han was beheaded because of the crime of colluding with demons, and on the day of execution, the clouds and mist filled the entire capital, and finally when the surrounding soldiers swept away the clouds and mist, they found that there was one girl missing from the Han family.
Three years ago, Lord Han's family was wronged.
The girl, however, is not mentioned.
Gu Yi had heard a rumor among his disciples about that matter, because the Han family had a family heirloom treasure, which was regarded as extremely important by the prince, and he once paid a very high price to exchange it, but he did not get consent, so he secretly poisoned him.
Gu Yi didn't make a move when the girl held him hostage for the first time, the main reason was that in addition to the pity and sympathy in the heart of the girl surnamed Han, he also wanted to see what kind of identity was behind the rescue of this girl back then.
That's why he provoked the girl to make her move, wanting to judge the girl's skills by this, but unfortunately, the fight between the two of them was full of accidents from the beginning, and in the end he didn't get any clues that he could find.
However, just with the identity of the girl killer, Gu Yi already had a few speculations in his heart, and all that remained was to borrow Kunlun's power to verify his speculations.
The young man who returned to the city at the foot of the mountain did not return to Yingfu as soon as possible, but mixed into the crowd and turned a few intersections and came to a small courtyard.
This villa is next to a mansion, and there are three big characters written on this mansion, "Leisurely Residence".
Kunlun's founding ancestor, Xiaoyao Immortal, is the source from which Xiaoyaoju was originally taken.
Entering from the courtyard, when the young man's figure disappeared into the originally uninhabited street, the girl who had been following the young man quietly walked out, glanced at the "free house", and then retreated into the shadows.
"How do you know that I've been watching your uncle?"
In the depths of the courtyard, when Gu Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip, the woman sitting opposite him put her hands on her chest, as if she was looking at the young man in front of her who was not surprised after seeing her.
"I remember the master told me back then that when the third realm produces divine consciousness, the range is about three or four zhang square, and when it reaches the fourth realm, it will be tens of zhang, the fifth realm is one hundred zhang, the sixth realm is at least three miles in radius, and the seventh realm is a full ten miles. Shi Bo was already at the peak of the sixth realm when he went down the mountain, and it is unlikely that he has not been promoted to the seventh realm after three hundred years, since this is the case, the city at the foot of the mountain is only ten miles in total, and Shi Bo, as one of the most outstanding geniuses in Kunlun back then, is it only ten miles with the lowest divine sense range of the seventh realm?"
Gu Yi saw a smile on the woman's face, and couldn't help but laugh and continued: "So except that Uncle Shi was not in the City at the foot of the mountain at the time, I think everything in the City at the foot of the mountain should be under Uncle Shi's nose, right?"
Chen Rong looked at the young man in front of him and became more and more pleased, in addition to the ordinary disciples of the sect who were dedicated to pursuing the realm of cultivation, they could also know the affairs of the world without leaving home.
But her junior brother, the head of Kunlun, made Gu Yi never pay attention to things other than cultivation.
Although this made Gu Yi's sword heart extremely firm and his cultivation ranked among the best among his peers, in fact, after he came out of the mountain, he had a lot less experience in dealing with things.
However, after Chen Rong came into contact with Gu Yi in just a few days, she found that Gu Yi was stronger and smarter than she imagined.
Even better than her junior brother back then.
"That's right!" Gu Yi seemed to have thought of something, put down the teacup and looked at the woman opposite seriously, and said respectfully in an inquiring tone: "I don't know if Uncle Shi knows what the inheritance of Lord Han Hao's family was back then?"
Chen Rong originally wanted to pick up the teacup and be an elder, but when Gu Yi said what he wanted to ask, the arm holding the teacup slammed.
"How do you know?" Chen Rong put down the teacup, and there was no expression on her face.
"First, the assassination of the prince of the dynasty, apart from the blood feud and the demon clan, I really can't think of anyone else who would do it. And that person is no different from a human race, and his cultivation is extremely high, he should be about to set foot in the fourth realm, that is, the third realm is out of the mortal realm, and it has nothing to do with demons. ”
"Second, the magic weapon she carries on her body is not ordinary, and the killing intent on her body when she assassinated Li Tai is definitely not fake, if it is not for the deep hatred, it must not be so cold. And when Lord Han's family was wiped out, only one girl escaped, although the treasure of Lord Han's family was said to be borrowed by the prince back then, but in fact it was borrowed from the power of the eldest grandson's family, so if the girl really wanted to take revenge, the target was Li Tai, who was also the concubine of the eldest grandson. ”
"Third, the heavy treasure on that girl's body was able to allow her to evade the perception of a Sixth Realm Dragon Gate master like Zong Chuke with her cultivation from the mortal realm, and it was close to within a few zhang, even if we Kunlun didn't have a few such treasures, but it was very strange with the talisman left to me by the master in my sea of knowledge...... Resonance. The most important thing is that I have seen some records about the Eight Great Families in the Library Pavilion. Gu Yi originally wanted to say that it was attractive, but he didn't know why, as soon as he thought of the magic weapon on the girl he retreated, the suction power that naturally flowed out made him very uncomfortable.
"Ladder to the sky. ”
The boy finally said the name that had once been taboo.
It is rumored that tens of thousands of years ago, there was a holy relic between heaven and earth, which could connect to the heavenly fairy world, and every hundred years there was an opportunity to ascend to the fairy world, and the name of ascending to heaven also came from this.
Chen Rong's gaze subconsciously moved away, and he no longer looked at Gu Yi.
