Chapter 140: Alone in the Tiger's Den
Gu Shengchao listened to Zhou Hualiang's explanation, and felt that they were too pedantic, and enlightened: "If you don't go to the test to gain fame, do a small business or return to your hometown to farm, it's better than fighting and killing in the sect to be a hundred times more fearful." ”
Zhou Hualiang sneered after hearing this, and said mockingly: "You only know that you are willing to bend your waist for five buckets of rice, and we grass people have no way to retreat, why don't you want to change your life and fight for a glimmer of life for yourself." Born like an ant should be the ambition of a bird, life is as thin as paper, there should be an unyielding heart, although there is no power to bind the chicken, it is not in vain to fight with life. ”
Staring at Gu Shengchao's eyes that widened in astonishment, Zhou Hualiang's eyes were full of longing for the future, and he retorted: "What do you say? ”
Gu Shengchao originally planned to enlighten him, but when he said this, he didn't know what to say, which completely shocked his words.
Zhou Hualiang saw Gu Shengchao's shock, and said slowly: "Although it is precarious for us to join the Tianqing Gang, there is always a lot of hope for the future, and there are countless hopes and possibilities. If you just live a life of drunkenness, dreams and death, and living is like dying, then it is better to fight, at least your fate is in your own hands, and you don't need to look at other people's faces. Life is short, why not live vigorously? ”
Xiucai is Xiucai, and just a few words made Gu Shengchao speechless and speechless.
Seeing that Gu Shengchao couldn't open his mouth to refute, Zhou Hualiang was even more reckless: "I think you have good skills in brother, it's better to join our Tianqing Gang, with my recommendation, I guarantee that you will get what you want." Our Tianqing Gang originally wanted to let the toiling masses all over the world celebrate together, especially for the poor to fight grievances and avoid the oppression of the gentry. If you help others and improve yourself, why not do it? ”
Hearing this, Gu Shengchao finally found the loophole in his words, and smiled disdainfully: "What a universal celebration, we just want to have a meal and drink some wine, so you set fire to the restaurant in an attempt to wipe us out." ”
He pointed to the villagers of Zhuang Lutao behind him and asked: "These unarmed villagers have no grievances with you, why do you want to harm them." There is also that restaurant, how many people rely on it to support their families, you burned it down, and the hard work of people for many years was wiped out, and there is no conscience. Is it true that your universal celebration is to benefit yourself by harming others, and if so, don't do it. ”
Gu Shengchao spoke sonorously and powerfully, but Zhou Hualiang shook his head and said unhurriedly: "Brother Tai's words are wrong, you are not them, how do you know that they are grieving." Those poor people you think are not self-defeating, purifying their own hearts. ”
"Nonsense." Gu Shengchao held the sword in his hand and slashed straight at Zhou Hualiang's neck.
originally thought that he would be scared and dodge, but unexpectedly, he was motionless as if nothing happened, and just stared at Gu Shengchao like that, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.
"You're not afraid of death?" The ancient saint Chao Nahan.
Zhou Hualiang said truthfully: "I am also a mortal, but I am actually scared to death." ”
"Then why don't you hide?" Gu Shengchao asked.
Zhou Hualiang smiled faintly and said: "Since you can't hide, why do you want to hide, just like everything in this world, there is no distinction between good and evil, beauty and ugliness, if you are always confined to your own small square inch, how can you know the cause and effect behind it." ”
He looked at Gu Shengchao, and saw that he couldn't get down for a long time, so he simply straightened his neck and sent it up: "If you kill me, you can get what you want, and I am willing to kill you." ”
Gu Shengchao saw that he was not afraid of death, but he couldn't do it, so he took two steps back and let him go.
"You go, I won't embarrass you." Gu Shengchao lowered his sword, feeling tired like he had never felt before.
"Thank you!" Zhou Hualiang thanked Gu Shengchao and walked away.
"Wait." Someone shouted.
They turned to see that Shui Linglong had fully recovered, and came with a sword in his hand and a murderous spirit.
"This, what is the value of this girl, what is the cost?" Zhou Hualiang pretended to be calm, but in fact he was frightened, and his speech was a little unfavorable.
Shui Linglong snorted coldly: "You don't have to talk about it, I came all the way from Cloud City, and I have seen you in many Tianqing Gang gatherings, you must be a person who has committed the most heinous crimes, and this will kill you and eliminate harm for the people." ”
Hearing what Shui Linglong said, Gu Shengchao suddenly had an idea, stopped Shui Linglong who was killing him, and said, "Slow, what this person said is true, you can't kill him." ”
"The Tianqing Gang is the best at demagoguery, you don't want to fall for them." Shui Linglong thought that Gu Shengchao had listened to Zhou Hualiang's words, and was extremely anxious.
Gu Shengchao turned his back to Zhou Hualiang, blinked quickly at Shui Linglong, and stabbed with his sword while she was stunned.
The blade passed under the armpit of the water.
Standing behind Gu Shengchao, it was like he pierced Shui Linglong's chest with a sword.
Shui Linglong didn't expect Gu Shengchao to suddenly attack, and inadvertently let out an "ah", seeing the sword passing by, his voice stopped abruptly, and stared at him with wide eyes and puzzled.
"You, what are you going to do?" Shui Linglong was shocked.
Gu Shengchao smiled fiercely, and his voice was enough for Zhou Hualiang behind him to hear it clearly. He winked his eyebrows exaggeratedly at Shui Linglong, hoping to make the other party understand his intentions.
The incident happened suddenly, Shui Linglong didn't comprehend Gu Shengchao's thoughts at all, but seeing his strange expression, he knew that he was performing for Zhou Hualiang behind him.
Anyway, it's acting, so let's just do it more realistically.
Shui Linglong screamed "ah", pretending to be frightened: "You, you want to kill me?" ”
Gu Shengchao laughed wildly: "You have ruined my good deeds many times, how can I tolerate you." ”
He raised his foot and kicked at Shui Linglong.
Shui Linglong improvised, waited until the upper of Gu Shengchao's shoe touched her, jumped backwards and pretended to fall hard, struggled a few times and did not move.
Zhuang Lutao's fellow villagers were frightened when they saw this situation. After all, they were all rescued by Shui Linglong, and the elders wanted to check Shui Linglong's injuries, and when they found that Gu Shengchao's fierce eyes swept over, they were immediately stunned, standing in place and not daring to move.
This kind of fear, uneasiness, and horror, mixed with an angry expression, cannot be pretended.
Zhou Hualiang saw it in his eyes, and he made the current situation of Gu Shengchao's betrayal of his own people even more solid.
With just three inches of incorruptible tongue, he successfully reversed one of the other party's generals, and he couldn't help but be happy immediately.
Gu Shengchao took the sword and turned around and came to Zhou Hualiang, arching his hand and said, "It's not easy to stay here for a long time, let's go." ”
Zhou Hualiang was also afraid that if it was too late, there would be an accident that was unfavorable to him, so he hurriedly walked into the distance with Gu Shengchao.
When the two came to the outside of Huaming City, Gu Shengchao stopped and said politely: "The military advisor stays, I am just a ghost, and I will plant Gu worms for the military advisor, let's lift it now." ”
"That couldn't be better." Zhou Hualiang also didn't want a poisonous snake lurking in his body and threatening his life at any time.
The two sat down cross-legged face to face, Gu Shengchao injected a little true qi into each other, pinched a few points around his body, followed the meridians all the way down with internal force, and finally slapped his Shenque acupoint.
Zhou Hualiang's abdomen churned, his lower abdomen contracted back and forth a few times, opened his mouth to retch, and the poisonous snake wrapped in Xuan Qi spit out from his mouth.
Although the poisonous snake was wrapped in Xuan Qi outside, it could still squirm back and forth, which made Zhou Hua's conscience palpitate and he didn't dare to touch it.
In addition to the Xuan Qi on the surface of the snake Gu, there was also Zhou Hualiang's gastric juice sticky, Gu Shengchao picked up a branch and picked the snake aside.
Without the human body, the Xuan Qi will naturally dissipate quickly, and the poisonous snake will be able to find its own cave to hibernate to survive the long and cold winter.
Taking out the two red and white porcelain vases from his arms, Gu Shengchao said apologetically: "This thing was returned to its original owner, I didn't know it at the time, please forgive me." ”
Zhou Hualiang took it calmly, and said with a slight smile: "If you don't fight, you don't know each other, and it was understandable that everyone did this for their masters at that time." ”
"In the ancient Shengchao, from now on, I am willing to follow the military advisor and achieve a career." The ancient saint gave a deep salute, which could be regarded as making amends for the recklessness at that time.
Zhou Hualiang grabbed his hand: "We will be brothers in the future, you don't have to be polite." ”
The two laughed and walked along the forest path. Gu Shengchao didn't ask, just followed.
At dusk, the two came to a small village.
There are only about 20 families in the eye, and most of the houses are made of rammed earth and covered with thatch, which shows that this place is not wealthy.
Someone saw Zhou Hualiang and took the initiative to come forward to salute: "The military division is back, please come inside, we are discussing how to rescue the military division." ”
Gu Shengchao followed behind them, and suddenly sensed that someone swooped down behind him, and the sword aura was pressing.
This feeling should be undoubtedly the guy who wields the ghost's head and big knife.
Gu Shengchao's "Iron Arm Divine Skill" instantly protected his body, and a faint layer of silver armor condensed on the surface of his skin.
At this moment, it is difficult to convince the public without revealing some real skills, and it must surprise the other party, so that they can feel like they have obtained a treasure in order to gain trust and gain a firm foothold.
Although the "Iron Arm Divine Skill" is good, the only drawback is that the perception is blocked, and it is impossible to accurately judge what kind of situation occurs in places where the eyesight is not reached.
Gu Shengchao hurriedly turned around, the ghost-headed broadsword had already slashed in front of him, the distance was too close, and the blade appeared huge.
"It's good to come."
With a burst of applause, Gu Shengchao raised his arms crossed, and took this move with his arms.
"Bang!"
The blade collided with the silver armor, making a clanging sound and flashing a dazzling spark.
The man thought that he would cut Gu Shengchao in two, but he had expected that the big knife would bounce up, and the other party would have the kung fu of the iron cloth shirt and golden bell jar.
Surprised, Gu Shengchao smashed his fists over, and the man resisted with a horizontal knife.
Gu Shengchao's fists smashed on the knife, and the ghost-headed broadsword trembled and "buzzed".
The man was so shocked that he couldn't hold the big knife anymore and had to let go.
Gu Shengchao took the opportunity to snatch the big knife and threw it aside.
The man was horrified, the long-famous knife technique was broken in just a few moves, and how could he resist others.
Taking advantage of his trance, Gu Shengchao stepped forward and grabbed the man's clothes, lifting him high and making a gesture to fall.
"Stop, it's all your own people, don't hurt the peace."
It was only at this moment that Zhou Hualiang finally spoke to dissuade him.
