Chapter Seventy-One: Soul Control
Gu Xi still smiled unhurriedly, and said slowly: "You stand up, walk out with me, everything will be fine." The sun is out outside, everyone is celebrating the victory of the war, don't you want to go out and have a look? ”
"I shouldn't have picked up that arrow, I obviously thought that with his martial arts, he shouldn't be able to hurt it." Yun Yanzheng's eyes were empty, she couldn't see who the person in front of her was at all, she only heard a voice in the room responding, the voice felt both familiar and unfamiliar, she couldn't remember who this person was? "If I hadn't left that arrow alone, I wouldn't have been hit by the puppet Gu, and I wouldn't be what I am now. But why then? She tilted her head slightly, as if she was recalling the situation at that time, and then the corners of her mouth pulled and smiled, the whole person was like a blood-stained puppet weird and bright, "It seems that I can't help but go to block the arrow, and my body is faster than my consciousness...... Then, I made an excuse for myself, telling myself that it was because I didn't want him to win, and I didn't want to see him take control of everything in his hands, and he couldn't look up to him. ”
Gu Xi began to be silent, and there was a trace of fluctuation in the gloomy look in his eyes, looking at her as if she was a puppet who couldn't control her smile movements, and as if a dying person was looking back on his life. "Do you regret it?" He said softly after a long time, his eyes as unpredictable as the starry sky. There was heavenly light leaking in from the window, but it couldn't shine on the two people's bodies, through the layers of light veil curtains, a faint light overflowed his long silhouette, and the back projected on the screen looked lonely.
"I don't know, it's just in Huicheng...... From that hill, I watched him put on my armor and robe and stand on the tower, and I felt a strange feeling in my heart. It feels like I'm protecting the kingdom myself, but it's not ......" She frowned stiffly, as if the emotions here were a little confused, and she couldn't express them clearly, "But...... When another arrow was fired at him, my heart was lifted as before, but the distance between me and him was that my bow could not shoot that arrow, and my horse could not catch up with the arrow, and my heart ached as if the tip of a knife had been pressed against it. Later, I realized that he really didn't need my worries, and that he shot his arrows very well, even better than mine. At that moment, my heart swelled up not with chagrin and self-blame, but with a smile of relief, and after exhaling softly, the whole person was much lighter. ”
Faced with the unconscious expression of emotion of the woman in front of him, Gu Xi's expressionless and handsome face was like the ruthlessness of ice and snow. He naturally knew what such emotions represented, but he was not happy at the moment, and he did not want to use such emotions. In his layout, he disdains to take advantage of such feelings, he is ruthless to others, and he does not need others to have affection for him, and he actually realizes that his feelings for this woman are exceptional.
"Haven't you been on the lookout for him, on the lookout for him?" He said lightly, and there was no trace of emotion in the indifference of his eyebrows and eyes, like the frozen river.
"Well, he appeared in the third brother's water pavilion from the beginning, and he was a person who made me unable to put my heart at ease." Yun Yanzheng's pupils contracted slightly, and his tone was a little distant: "But why did I see that he had a blood Gu on his arm, and he had consumed his blood qi because of it, his face was pale, and he was sleeping on the bed like cotton wool, but I faintly had a trace of the idea of being willing to replace him with his body?" Gu Xi vaguely saw that the pair of phoenix eyes behind the long hair were becoming more and more weird, and her divine light was blurred, and then her secret mind opened slowly: "Obviously, I was still on guard at that time, and everything was put in a hostile position to think about it, and even I used him and his disguise technique to carry out the golden cicada's shelling strategy." But he heard that the ship he was on had been attacked and destroyed...... That night, there seemed to be something in my heart that couldn't stop breaking out of the cocoon, and my whole left arm was numb and painful, and the witch doctor clearly told me to restrain my emotions. That night, I couldn't do it, I didn't close my eyes all night...... Obviously, there are so many things waiting for me to solve when the two countries go to war, but I can't close my eyes and sleep...... Why? ”
She asked softly, as if she was torturing herself, and as if she was questioning the person in front of her.
"Do you think he is not as powerful and omnipotent as you imagined, and you regret and chagrin for your plan?" Gu Xi's soft tone sounded faintly in the silence, and it was so real, like a spring breeze soothing people's hearts.
Yun Yanzheng waited quietly for a long time, as if he was thinking about something with difficulty, and then murmured softly: "Since I was a child, he is the first person I can't see through, and the people around me are all disguised, but what kind of expressions and thoughts are hidden under his face, I can't guess." When I thought he wasn't that strong and terrible, and regretted his caution and fear, he ...... But he came back with absolute control that I didn't expect...... The development of everything seems to have been carefully arranged by him, and the development of everything seems to happen according to his wishes......"
She stopped talking suddenly, her right hand trembling unnaturally, and the fear that seemed to come from the depths of her heart made her shiver all over.
Gu Yi stared at her eyes steadily, and a strange surge rippled in the pupils of those clear eyes, and he whispered softly like the breeze at the end of the month unintentionally crossing the world, and as if asking from an ancient world: "What did you find?" What do you see again? ”
"He seems to want to destroy something...... Yun Yanzheng's will was relaxed in such a soft voice, and muttered, "It seems to want to re-establish something...... He wanted to upset the balance of the current Shikoku...... He wanted to ......" Her thoughts and words jumped a little, as if the last bit of the coming will was struggling.
"Maybe it's not what you thought it would be, so why don't you think the other way?" The meditation in Gu Xi's eyes was like a moon and clouds meandering up, as if there were fragrant flowers and bright water quietly blooming in his eyes, suddenly grabbing people's consciousness, his voice was as clear as the strings of the piano, bringing out a fascinating tone: "Such as giving up...... Unwilling...... Regret...... Attachment ......"
His voice was long and dreamy, as if to bring people into the dreamland that he had so gently created.
The last bit of will in Yun Yanzheng's mind sank to the bottom of the abyss with his voice, and he was drawn into a nightmarish predicament. Her right hand slowly loosened, and her whole body seemed to have lost its spiritual center of gravity...... If there was a fourth person in the room, at this moment, you could see that Gu Xi's right hand was tightly holding a sword body as sharp as ice, and blood kept ticking down from his open flesh, and it had condensed a pool of blood on the smooth brick surface.
At this moment, in the process of rescuing Yun Yanzheng by using the Soul Separation Technique, he would never allow others to intervene to cut off the divine thoughts that had been built up between him and her with great difficulty.
If it was destroyed, Yun Yanzheng would not be able to enter the dream he had created smoothly, but would completely lose his will and risk being attacked by Gu things.
And this long sword, which was as cold as autumn water, was held in the hand of a guard with a rough face, his eyebrows and eyes were hidden in the gloom, and his eyes were blazing. His sword was silent when it stabbed from Gu Xi's back, but it was still held in his palm at the last critical moment, and after that, this sword could neither take a step closer nor take a step back.
Seeing that Yun Yanzheng was about to fall to the ground from the Taishi's chair, the guard suddenly felt a light in his hand, and with a slight "ding" sound, his sword was disconnected, and half of it was caught by his toes and put on the ground lightly and silently. When he raised his eyes again, the young man in white robe and silver armor had already taken Yun Yanzheng in his arms and stood in front of the Taishi chair, his cold eyebrows and eyes looked at him with an inexplicable oppressive force, and said solemnly: "I know that you are her secret guard who specially arranged to assassinate herself who has lost her will, but now do you want to put her to death?" ”
"You're supposed to be using succubism? Is it saving the eldest princess? The Dark Guard stared at him without blinking, and asked rhetorically, word by word.
"You can watch from the sidelines, but you must not miss the opportunity. If you still can't believe me, you can offer me a bargain. The young man's dark eyes were bottomless, but his voice was extremely soft, as if the light sound of a gust of wind blowing and falling flowers was afraid to wake up the person in his arms, but his leisurely tone brought a majestic momentum that could not be defended by others.
The unconscious body is like the release of the soul.
Yun Yanzheng felt as if he had fallen into the abyss, into endless darkness.
When the white light flashed, she saw the barren desert, the cool moon was in the sky, and a man and a horse seemed to be lost in the yellow sand of the desert. However, when she struggled to find the legendary oasis from memory, it was just a yellow sand dune overgrown with thorny plants stubbornly standing on barren land, and there was no clear water source that she had longed for.
But in such a deserted place, there was a man sitting in a white veil made of plants in the desert, drinking leisurely.
She couldn't wait to gallop over, dismounted and hugged her fists and asked: "I agreed with my companion to return to Fancheng here, but I didn't expect him to be late." I've run out of water in my pocket, can my brother quench his thirst with a cup of sleeplessness? ”
"It's okay, please come in." The boy in the veil smiled and invited.
After three rounds of tea, she realized her faux pas, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask Gongzi's surname?" ”
"Gu." His gaze seemed fixed on the branches of the flowers swaying in the night sky, and just when she thought he would not answer, she heard the low voice speak softly.
"Fangcao Gu, leaving people Gu, Alluring City Gu?" She answered with a smile, but her tone was extremely sincere.
"Gu Xi." He didn't hesitate this time, the corner of his eye swept over her face, piercing through what she wanted to know, and continued: "It's not a pity, it's a disintegration. ”
