Volume 2 A Sword Dream Chapter 243 A Purpose
"You mean your demons ......?"
The twenty-ninth old monk with a strange name was slightly stunned, and then asked with a surprised look.
Gu Shijian nodded, "It's no big deal, now I can generally control my mind, although it is sometimes a little blocked, but the overall is relatively smooth." β
Gu Shijian did not tell the truth in its entirety, although after years of hard work and suppression, coupled with the cultivation and washing of Buddhist scriptures day and night, most of the time he can basically suppress the distracting thoughts in his heart with his perseverance, but after so many years of oppression and suppression, his inner demons seem to have learned to brake with static, usually well-behaved like a sheep, but occasionally when he fights back, it is extremely violent, although it is not as frequent as before, but every time it seems to be premeditated for a long time, making him feel that half of his life has been torturedγ
Fortunately, with so many years of experience in suppression, and his body seemed to be accustomed to that kind of small pain, even so, Gu Shijian was not sure how many times he could hold out on to such a riot, and how long.
However, he didn't want Baili Changfeng and the two of them to know about it, because of his own affairs over the years, the two of them had been affected enough, and he didn't want his two best friends to live a frightened life in the future because of his own affairs.
But fortunately, after so many years of adaptation, he can completely suppress the desire to kill in his heart, which is a thing to be celebrated, at least, in his heart, he thinks that even if the demons break out, he will not kill indiscriminately like before.
The old monk couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, "That's good, that's good!"
Although he had some doubts in his heart, when he was in Shaolin Temple before, he did not always take care of Gu Shijian, so although he didn't know what the situation was at that time, he knew something from the mouths of those brothers in Shaolin Temple.
But since Gu Shijian was transferred to the Xiaoxin Building in Shengxuan City, he has been chanting the Buddha and reading scriptures on weekdays to cleanse his demons and take care of his daily food and residence. Although he wandered around the one acre and three points of land on the third floor of Xiaoxin Building every day, every day or two, he would always take a little time to come to this underground room to see Gu Shijian, so he was the one who was most familiar with Gu Shijian over the years.
Although over the years, he has seen Gu Shijian go crazy less and less, but occasionally there will still be, so when Gu Shijian said that he can basically control his inner demons now, although he felt that something was not right, he didn't think much about it.
It is not impossible that the reason why he occasionally goes crazy is related to his own disfigurement. After all, a person's face is the most intuitive face, and if you lose face, it is impossible to be indifferent to anyone else, right?
Baili Changfeng frowned and pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Can you let me see your face, maybe I can heal." β
His thoughts coincided with those of the old monk. Since ancient times, women have been the most concerned about their faces, but don't men care about these external things at all? Obviously, that is impossible.
Everyone has a love for beauty, but to different degrees.
The old monk hurriedly slapped his forehead, "Yes, look at my memory, don't we have a ready-made divine doctor? Ten swords, show him, maybe he can restore you to the beginning!"
That kind of joy that comes from the heart is not at all like what a person of his age should have.
"No need!"
Gu Shijian shook his head and sighed: "Not to mention that it has been so many years, whether there is still a way to be healed, even if there is a way, it must not be so easy, besides, I don't think there is anything wrong with this appearance now, I hate my original face." β
The old monk's expression darkened, "Your temperament hasn't changed at all!"
Gu Shijian raised his eyes, "We haven't changed, have we?"
The old monk's expression became more and more bitter.
Baili Changfeng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Do you have no confidence in me, or are you afraid that you won't be able to withstand another blow?"
After saying that, he stared at Gu Shijian intently.
Gu Shijian raised his head, his two pairs of eyes touched slightly, and then he naturally turned his gaze to the candle flame on the side, and laughed at himself, "Maybe...... It's both!"
Baili Changfeng was still staring at him, as if he didn't want to give up easily, the old monk saw this, and hurriedly pushed his elbow, and Baili Changfeng reluctantly retracted his gaze.
Gu Shijian naturally noticed the small movements of the two of them, but he pretended not to know anything, straightened his back a little rickety, and didn't look back, "You don't just come to see me, right? β
The voice was cold and clear, and there were no waves in the ancient well.
The old monk looked at the hundred miles of the long wind, his face was hesitant, he was still thinking about whether the plan of the hundred miles of the long wind was feasible.
Baili Changfeng was not polite, and regardless of the old monk's hesitant expression, he nodded directly and said: "Then I'll say it directly, I only have one purpose for coming this time, that is, I want to let you out." β
"Hey!"
The old monk suddenly sighed inexplicably, these two are really the same dog, and the stubbornness makes him helpless.
"Oh?"
This made Gu Shijian a little surprised, "What do you want me to do for you?"
Without thinking too much, he knew that Baili Changfeng was asking for him, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to take the initiative to find himself with his character, even if he was wrong, it was impossible, they were all the same kind of people, and they knew each other's personalities very well.
"I want you to infiltrate the Prime Minister's Mansion and help me find someone. β
Hundred miles of wind didn't think about it, and he was blunt. Now that he has explained his intentions, there is no need to hide it anymore, not to mention that he believes in the matter of the Holy Pen Xuanjian back then, Gu Shijian and Yuan Sheng, the two friends in his life, are completely unaware, let alone have something to do with it.
After all, one of them is imprisoned here, and the other is not leaving Xiaoxinlou. Moreover, the Holy Pen Xuanjian was also a little kind to Gu Shijian back then, even if it was a gesture of the Pingshui meeting, but he believed that Gu Shijian could not ignore it.
He knew Gu Shijian too well, just as he knew himself.
"Who?"
Gu Shijian's eyebrows were raised, and the two-leaf sickle eyebrows seemed to have the potential to take off.
"Prime Minister?"
On the contrary, the old monk looked surprised, "How can it have anything to do with that place? You must know that it is not an ordinary place, and it is extremely dangerous." β
It seems that he knows a lot about the Prime Minister's Mansion in Dadu.
"You should also know this person, he is the 'Holy Pen Xuan Sword' Nie Chengfeng. β
After Baili Changfeng finished speaking to Gu Shijian, he glanced at the old monk, "With his light martial arts, if you want to leave, there are few people in the world today who can leave him." β
After hearing the words of Baili Changfeng, especially the three words "Nie Chengfeng", Gu Shijian's whole person stiffened suddenly, and then fell into silence.
"But that was before, and now that he has been imprisoned here for so many years, coupled with the torture of the demons in his heart, he is no longer the 'Extreme Shadow God Hand' of the past. β
The old monk hurriedly tried to dissuade the hundred miles of wind, "You are harming him, do you know?"
Baili Changfeng disagreed, "Before I came here, I had some concerns, and even had the idea of making a desperate bet, but after coming here, I found that I came to the right place and made the right bet." β
As he spoke, he pointed to Gu Shijian on the lotus platform, "Do you think he will make no progress over the years? Will you believe it yourself? You can't help but underestimate yourself too much, and even more so underestimate him." β
Although Baili Changfeng is a healer, his senses are much sharper than others, but he doesn't believe that the changes in Gu Shijian's body, Yuan Sheng will not be able to see it?
Although Yuan Sheng has rarely walked around the rivers and lakes since he entered Shaolin, Baili Changfeng knows very well that he, an old monk who looks old, is no worse than himself in the realm of cultivation.
The old monk was speechless, he wanted to explain but couldn't, how could he not know the meaning of a hundred miles of long wind? It's just that he thought about it more, is it because he is selfish? No, maybe this is the common disease of all Buddhists who are compassionate!
