Chapter 104: The Unfinished "Qing Pingle"
When Gu Xu completed the extermination of his soul by crushing his bones and raising ashes, a faint whiteness of fish belly appeared in the distant sky.
The mist that filled the pond gradually dissipated.
A faint morning light filtered in through the window, illuminating the furnishings inside.
At this moment, Gu Xu finally felt a little tired.
Fighting against a Fifth Realm cultivator, both in terms of true element and spirit, was extremely depleting to him.
However, he has been using strong willpower to maintain a high level of mental concentration.
It wasn't until the enemy was already exhausted that he dared to rest for a while.
He dragged the chair next to the desk and sat down on it, recuperating and recuperating.
At the same time, Chu Fengge stood up from the ground and changed back to his former radiant and pretentious appearance.
Chu Fengge, who has the supernatural power of "wild grass", has an extraordinary ability to recover his true yuan and physical strength.
Even if he was hollowed out by Gu Xu a few minutes ago, he has now become a good man who is alive and kicking.
"I came to this Lu Clan's murderous mansion this time, although the process was a little more dangerous, but after all, I still gained a lot," looking at the devastated Lu Mansion in front of him, Gu Xu thought silently in his mind, "Not only did I get the method of cracking the 'frost erosion' curse for Lord Chen, and became the new owner of the 'Shocking Pen', but after leaving the Lu Mansion, I can also get five thousand merits and a high-grade spell from the Exorcism Division as a reward."
"When the merit is in hand, I don't need to worry about the lack of pills anymore.
"I've been relying on Shi Xiaohan's help before, and I'm quite embarrassed. And now, as poor, I finally have the opportunity to experience what it is like to be rich.
"Sure enough, wealth needs to be in danger!"
…………
At this moment, the spirit of the "Shocking Pen" came to Gu Xu's side and bowed deeply to Gu Xu.
"I thank Childe for my help," she said in a sincere tone, "If there is no Childe, I don't know when Miss's wish will be fulfilled." ”
At the same time, a light blue flower note slowly fell from the air on Gu Xu's lap.
Gu Xu picked it up and found three simple words written on the paper - "Thank you".
The handwriting is elegant and elegant, just like the person.
A faint smile appeared on his face: "Miss Lu doesn't have to be polite. I took action against that Tang Hui, in fact, mainly for myself. ”
Hearing his words, the "Shocking Pen Spirit" lowered his head and did not speak immediately.
After hesitating for a long time, she continued to speak slowly: "Childe, you should know that now that the long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, my young lady's obsession will soon dissipate. In the future, in this world, there will only be Yishan Snow Girl, and there will be no more Qingzhou Lu Shiyao.
"And I, too, will dissipate with Miss.
"This should be the last time we'll see each other."
Gu Xu frowned slightly, a little puzzled: "As the instrument spirit of the 'Shocking Pen', you have already been called the 'master' just now—shouldn't you leave this old mansion with me?" ”
"I'm sorry, I was hiding some information from you before," the machine spirit sighed softly, "You must know that even among the famous instruments, the 'Thrilling Brush' is extremely special.
"In the hands of different masters, it can not only display different spells, but even the form and ability of the machine spirit will be different.
"The strength of the machine spirit depends on the mastery of the master's 'Thrilling Pen'.
"And after the death of the master, the spirit of the 'Shocking Pen' will also dissipate. It is not until the new master takes control of it and comprehends its power that it gives birth to a new machine spirit.
"It's because Miss is obsessed that I forcibly stay in this world. Now, it's time for me to leave. ”
Gu Xu was silent.
He had heard that the "Amazing Pen " was the most loyal and famous instrument in the Great Wilderness; But he didn't expect that the spirit of the "Amazing Pen" would be able to live and die with the master.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the faint morning light outside the window, and the carved jade bars with a hazy luster.
He knew that when the sun rose, with the disappearance of Lu Shiyao's remnant soul and the spirit of the "Shocking Pen", everything in the Lu family would forever become a thing of the past.
At this time, his eyes suddenly fell on the unfinished "Qingping Le" on the table.
"Actually, I'm curious, why didn't Miss Lu try to finish this poem after so many years?" He asked, "With Miss Lu's literary brilliance, after filling in this poem, I think another excellent song will be born in this world." ”
Ji Ling replied: "When Miss wrote this poem, it was when the Lu family was about to be raided. At that time, the cold rain had just stopped, the yellow flowers had just fallen, and the young lady's mood was filled with sadness.
However, as soon as she was halfway through writing, Tang Hui and the soldiers he brought rushed into Su Xuezhai, shackled her, and sealed her cultivation.
"When she came back to life and returned to this mansion, her heart was already filled with hatred, and she could no longer find the state of mind when she wrote the lyrics."
"I see." Gu Xu nodded in understanding.
At this moment, looking at the old mansion of the Lu family, which was gradually dissipating, a strong impulse inexplicably appeared in Gu Xu's heart.
"I thought I might be able to try to complete the poem." He said with a serious expression.
"Miss said that she was looking forward to Childe's work." The machine spirit replied with a smile.
Then, Gu Xu held the "Amazing Pen" in his hand, took a deep breath, and put a pen on the old rice paper.
He didn't grind the ink.
Because the "Amazing Pen" is not an ordinary brush.
You don't need ink to write with it.
Gu Xu also didn't write what he was best at.
Instead, like Lu Shiyao, he wrote one after another neat and neat block fonts one after another.
It's just different from Lu Shiyao's slender and delicate hairpin.
His handwriting is strong, crisp and beautiful, with a decisive momentum, and every word is full of firm and high-spirited spirit.
After completion, the whole poem reads as follows:
"At the beginning of the cold rain, the yellow flowers were broken all over the ground. Fang Fei scattered in the afterglow, no longer the charm of the old time.
"If you ask Luoying where to go, he will be more spring mud in the coming year. When the warm breeze blows, I see the flowers red and willow green. ”
Gu Xu does not have Lu Shiyao's literary talent.
The lower que he wrote also seems thin and straightforward in terms of wording, which is much inferior to the upper que.
But after all, he will use the best works of his predecessors.
When he integrated the meaning of "falling red is not a ruthless thing, turning into spring mud is more protective of flowers", the emotional tone of the whole poem immediately underwent a fundamental change.
When Gu Xu finished writing the last word, he heard a soft cry coming from behind him.
A tear that appeared out of thin air suddenly fell on his shoulder, cold.
"It turns out that Miss Lu has been standing behind me and watching me write this poem...... he thought to himself.
Then, a faint voice came from his ear, barely audible.
The voice was hoarse and dry, like a traveler in the desert who had not drunk water for a long time.
"Childe, spring...... Will it really come? ”
Hearing this voice, Gu Xu's mood also became extremely heavy.
He remembered that the machine spirit had said that Lu Shiyao had been abolished by Tang Hui and poured dumb medicine, and was ready to be sent to the Beijing Teaching Division.
"Maybe it's because of the hatred so much that even the voice of her remnant has become like this," he sighed, "and it's no wonder that she has been communicating with me in writing and refusing to speak."
"She didn't want me to hear her like that."
