A monster with only a head appears in the middle of the night, and anyone else will be terrified.

When Gu Shengchao saw this big-headed monster, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, he couldn't stand up while sitting on the bluestone slab, and his legs were weak and he couldn't help himself.

"You, who are you?" Gu Shengchao asked in a trembling voice.

"Who am I?" The big-headed monster laughed, his voice hoarse, like scratching on wood.

Look at his eyebrows and beard are snow-white, his old face is engraved with the vicissitudes of time, and his long eyebrows droop and his beard are connected together.

"Tell me first, is your surname Gongsun?" The big-headed monster shook its head and asked with interest.

Gu Shengchao shook his head.

"Then is your master's surname Gongsun?" The big-headed monster asked.

Gu Shengchao still shook his head.

The big-headed monster "tsk" a few times and said: "That's weird, how did you learn your phoenix dance swordsmanship?" ”

Gu Shengchao didn't dare to hide it, so he told the big-headed monster all what he saw in the cave of Luocrow Bay and the remaining three articles in the grotto on Snake Island.

When he talked about the violent death of Xia Errong, the pioneer of the Phoenix Sword Technique, and the imprisonment of Gongsun Qiu by Sima Xicheng, the big-headed monster suddenly became angry, his head kept shaking in the air, and he exhaled angrily: "Nonsense, you are talking nonsense, Xia Errong was killed by Gongsun Qiu, I wanted to kill this guy who deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, and only spared his life because of the love of the same family, he promised to hand over the Fengwu Sword Technique mantra on the surface, and bought the guards behind his back to escape secretly, which is really hateful." ”

Looking at the big-headed monster gritting his teeth, Gu Shengchao was also afraid, he didn't know if he could beat this monster.

"Tell me the Feng Dance Sword Technique, spare you from death." The big-headed monster threatened.

Gu Shengchao hesitated, but the sound of "fluttering" sounded around him, he turned around and looked, as far as his eye could see, everywhere there were demon vines drilling out of the ground, standing vertically and ready to attack.

"I've lived for hundreds of years, and the magic vines have long been integrated into my body, and all the magic vines are under my command, can you think about it if you can beat me?" The big-headed monster threatened.

Gu Shengchao raised his head, and as soon as he thought of whether he could rush out with his sword, the sky was blocked by countless rattans, completely dispelling his idea of escaping.

"If you want to run, I'm going to kill you as easily as possible." The big-headed monster said coldly.

Gu Shengchao quickly analyzed every word the big-headed monster said in his mind, and came up with two answers.

First, the big-headed monster should be Sima Xicheng, although this conclusion is a bit unbelievable.

Second, if the first one is true, he will definitely not be able to beat the other party.

After thinking for a while, Gu Shengchao stretched out his hand and stood up on the ground: "If the seniors like to watch the junior demonstration, the junior can't ask for it." ”

After he finished speaking, he swung his sword and explained each move of the Phoenix Dance Sword Technique in detail, so that the big-headed monster could understand it as much as possible.

During the explanation, the big-headed monster listened attentively, and nodded in agreement from time to time, and after a long time, the ancient saint was finished.

The big-headed monster closed his eyes and stood still, Gu Shengchao thought he was asleep, and was about to sneak away, but the big-headed monster suddenly opened his eyes and said ecstatically: "I have truly learned the phoenix dance and phoenix sword technique, and I am invincible in the world." ”

"It's been hundreds of years, and I've finally looked forward to this day." Tears flowed from the corners of the big-headed monster's excited eyes.

Laughing happily, the big-headed monster suddenly became sad: "What if the world is invincible, in the end, it's not the same to die." I've lived too long, the vines have devoured my body, and it won't be long before my head turns into a stake. ”

"At that time, what's the use of being invincible in the world, I have long become a rattan, and in the end life is better than death." The big-headed monster thought of the sad thing and began to cry.

"I'm unwilling, I'm unwilling!" Looking up to the sky and roaring, the big-headed monster was teary-eyed.

"Boy, would you like to be my disciple?" The big-headed monster suddenly burst out, he didn't wait for Gu Shengchao to answer, and said to himself: "No, no, this kid worships me as a teacher, and my descendants can't call him an ancestor when they see him, it's cheap for this stinky boy." ”

"What should I do? If it goes on like this, sooner or later, I will cease to exist, and the phoenix sword technique will be annihilated, and I will not be blind to death, which is in vain for the master's hard work. The big-headed monster fell into deep thought, the rattan attached to the back of his head swaying slightly.

Suddenly, the big-headed monster stood still again, and an illusory shadow floated out of its body and hung in the air.

"Look at me." The voice of the big-headed monster was ethereal and distant.

Gu Shengchao raised his head, and the illusory shadow had arms and legs, like a human being.

"Senior, this is ......" Gu Shengchao didn't understand, and as soon as he asked half a sentence, the shadow of the big-headed monster suspended turned into a silver light and drilled into Gu Shengchao's mind.

"I don't have a long life, so I will hand over my divine consciousness to you, hoping that you will live up to your trust and be a good person." The voice of the big-headed monster sounded in Gu Shengchao's mind.

He fainted with a sharp pain in his head.

……

"Brother Shengchao, Brother Shengchao."

I don't know how long it took, Gu Shengchao heard Tian Mang calling him softly in his ear.

Gu Shengchao opened his eyes, the sky was already bright, and the entire castle was bathed in dazzling sunlight, without the coldness and panic of last night.

"What's wrong with me?" Gu Shengchao's head was very messy, mixed with too much information about the other person, and the memories of the two people were intertwined, making him feel a little dazed and look like a fool.

Tian Mang said confusedly: "I don't know, I just remember that I seemed to see a ghost last night, two of you and me, I don't remember anything while fighting, and I woke up to find that we were both lying in this dilapidated castle, like a dream." ”

"My mind is messed up too." Gu Shengchao stood up, his head seemed to explode, and he had to be supported with both hands to feel better.

The martial arts training ground in front of him was somewhat familiar, and the dry rattan stretched into the deep pit next to it.

A voice in Gu Shengchao's mind said, "This rattan is a big-headed monster, and he almost scared himself to death last night." ”

Another voice said, "No, I've lived in it for hundreds of years, and I've had enough of life and death, and I was relieved last night." ”

"Ahh

The ancient saint looked up to the sky and roared, smashing his head with his fist to relieve the pain of swelling and cracking.

"This place is too weird, let's get out of here quickly." Tian Mang was even more frightened when he saw Gu Shengchao's actions, and he didn't want to stay for a moment.

The two of them walked out of the castle and got on their horses for a while, and Gu Shengchao felt a little better, and was able to distinguish the memories of the two people.

His own memory told him that when he saw Tian Mang fall into confusion last night, he clicked on his acupuncture points to temporarily get peace, because he didn't use his true qi, and it unraveled on its own in a few hours, so he woke up before him.

Another memory is about Sima Xicheng, from his childhood to his apprenticeship until last night, all the intricacies were unheard of, and the scenes kept flashing in his mind, making him difficult to accept for a while.

Among them, the most critical is that the murderer of their master Xia Errong is actually Gongsun Qiu himself, which is very different from the record in the grottoes on Snake Island.

Xia Errong respectively taught Gongsun Qiu and Sima Xicheng the sword technique of the phoenix dance, the original intention was to unite their brothers and sisters, only in this way can they fight the enemy together.

Gongsun Qiu poisoned and killed his master, and wanted to set a trap to imprison Sima Xicheng, who wanted to be self-defeating but was trapped, and took the initiative to hand over the Fengwu swordsmanship in order to survive.

After writing most of the swordsmanship in half-truths and half-truths, he took the opportunity to escape, and this is what happened later.

The younger brother of the founding emperor of the Dawu Dynasty created the Wuwang Palace, obviously aimed at Sima Xicheng, he did not want to meet each other and took the initiative to leave, fleeing from the land of right and wrong.

Sima Xicheng led everyone to come here to build Phoenix Fort after several rounds, and when he saw the wind and candles in his old age, he built an underground palace and closed it to prepare to sit down and return to heaven.

Maybe it was because he shouldn't have died, after he settled down, the magic vine took the initiative to integrate into his feet, and by absorbing the nutrients of the demon vine, he actually lived for hundreds of years.

The only regret is that the body gradually turns into rattan, first the legs, then the body.

He was afraid that this appearance would frighten the clansmen, so he had been living in seclusion in the underground palace.

When he couldn't bear the loneliness and broke the ground one night, he learned that the castle had been abandoned. He wrote the words on the stone tablet left by his clan with his fingers, and then waited patiently for one of his clansmen to come back to visit.

Later, Sima Xicheng's arm also turned into rattan, and only his head was still normal.

He knew that he wouldn't last long, and he only hoped that someone from his clan would come back and pass on his life's work to each other. After waiting for hundreds of years, I only saw a few brave and lucky people with high martial arts breaking into the castle, seeing him and trying to murder him, and finally he was ruthlessly killed.

The most important thing in Sima Xicheng's memory passed on to Gu Shengchao was to seek the Phoenix Sword Technique, and the move was complicated, and his head couldn't react for a while, so he had to wait for the opportunity to explore it slowly.

Gu Shengchao and Tian Mang walked in the desert for a whole day, and finally came to a border town in Xilan Country at dusk.

Tian Mang offered to live in a room for the two, and Gu Shengchao readily agreed.

It is also good to sleep separately, Tian Mang has a precious night pearl in his arms, which can avoid the possibility of theft by his companions. Gu Shengchao's mind was full of moves and formulas for seeking the Phoenix Sword Technique, and he also wanted to carefully sort out a person and figure it out slowly.

The two of them hurried unhurriedly, and when they met the inn, they stayed and rested, and when they returned to the capital city of Yunshangcheng, Gu Shengchao had already mastered the sword technique of seeking the phoenix.

Tian Mang went back and took out the night pearl to make a difference, and Yan Yifan, the owner of Baixian Village, presented it to Concubine Zhen through the chief eunuch, and Concubine Zhen couldn't put it down and told her brother to take care of Baixian Village.

With the appreciation of the hussar general, Baixianzhuang suddenly reduced a lot of trouble, and the officialdom added more friends.

There are many friends, business is naturally easy to do, tea estates have been built one after another, and the information channel has begun to take shape.

Gu Shengchao's mission to the Xileng Kingdom was completed, and he resigned to Yan Yifan.

Yan Yifan set up a banquet to bid farewell to Gu Shengchao, and agreed to meet in Luocrow Bay of the Dawu Dynasty.

Gu Shengchao readily agreed: "I'll wait for you, and then I'll invite you to drink." ”

Back in the house, the lights were turned off at night, Gu Shengchao proposed to return to the Dawu Dynasty, and asked Yan Xi if he was with him.

Wan Yanxi snuggled in his arms and softly refused.

"Why, there are many people who take care of you when you go back, and you all know each other." The ancient saint was puzzled.

Wan Yanxi said softly: "I can support myself here and be recognized by everyone, what could be better than this?" ”

Gu Shengchao was speechless, thinking that this was indeed the case, so he settled down and said: "If there is anything you can write to me, give the letter to Baixianzhuang and let them forward it on their behalf, and finally send it to Liu Ximei, I will definitely receive it." ”

"I listen to you, take care of yourself on the road." Wan Yanxi's palm stroked Gu Shengchao's chest.

She is not exposed to the wind and sun in the grassland, and her skin has become delicate, this feeling makes Gu Shengchao passionate, and it is inevitable that she will be warm......
