Volume 2 A Sword Dream Chapter 237 The Beginning and the End
"Relieved?"
Gu Shijian raised his head suddenly, and let out a strange laugh, "How easy is it? Do you know that those families and forces that were destroyed by me back then, they may be relieved under Jiuquan?"
It was a hideous and terrifying face, almost impossible to see the original face, the whole face seemed to have been soaked in a very corrosive liquid, the festering shape had long since been formed, and the skin on the face had long since ceased to exist, leaving only a charred black with pits.
"Do you know how I came to be like this?"
Gu Shijian pointed his finger at his unrecognizable cheek, and with his movements, the torture on his wrist also made a "stabbing lala" sound, which was extremely harsh.
Baili Changfeng and the old monk were silent at the same time, they had a detailed investigation into the matter, how could they not know why he became such a person who is not a ghost or a ghost?
Back then, when they knew that Gu Shijian had destroyed the seven leading families and forces in the rivers and lakes in a row, they all felt ashamed to be with them in addition to being heartbroken.
But when they really calmed down, they felt more incredible in their hearts, because it was not a matter of a day or two that they knew Gu Shijian, and they could be regarded as familiar with him, no matter in that aspect, he was not the kind of heinous person.
So, they all set out to investigate the whole story of those things separately, but the results they got surprised them again.
It turned out that since Gu Shijian said goodbye to Baili Changfeng and left the Soul Snatcher Mountain, he had wandered aimlessly in the rivers and lakes for a while, but because Baili Huanglan's death left an indelible scar in his heart, he finally couldn't get angry, and made a special trip to those families and forces, wanting to ask Zuotong for an explanation.
In his own thoughts, he should think that it was their so-called medical masters who were too vulgar, so they delayed the best treatment time for Baili Huanglan, but in fact, it was just Baili Huanglan's death that left a breath of resentment in his heart, and he took the brunt of those who had charged a high fee to diagnose the cause of her but got nothing as a punching bag to vent the resentment in his heart.
However, Gu Shijian didn't think so, he was a very old-fashioned and persistent person, and he always thought that Zuo Tong and those people had an unshirkable responsibility for Baili Huanglan's death. He always felt in his heart that if there was no delay from those quacks, if he had met half the sky earlier, he would have been able to save Baili Huanglan.
Of course, how could those guys who thought highly of themselves in Zuo Tong on weekdays feel that they were at fault? They have been flattered by others on weekdays, so how could they have endured the merits of a young man's arrogant comments in front of them? Naturally, the atmosphere at their first meeting was extremely unhappy, and there was even some tension.
However, at that time, Gu Shijian was still a young man after all, and he had little experience in the rivers and lakes, so he naturally didn't know how to predict people's hearts. He patted his ass and left after spitting out the resentment in his heart at that time, but he never thought that because of this incident, his life would be turned upside down.
Not long after, Zuo Tong and others, who had been visited by him one by one, suddenly invited him to a banquet, and also said that he said that last time because everyone broke up unhappily, they were very uneasy, so they specially set up a banquet to chat to express their hearts.
In addition, they deliberately made it clear that they didn't know that Baili Huanglan was dead last time, if they knew, they would definitely not have a conflict with Gu Shijian, hoping that Gu Shijian could give them a chance to redeem the guilt in their hearts, otherwise, they would probably feel guilty and uneasy for the rest of their lives.
Although Gu Shijian was a little hesitant, he thought of his sincerity, and he was originally resentful last time, and he was lacking in all aspects of speaking and doing, so he obeyed their wishes and went to the banquet alone.
At that time, he didn't think too much about it, just thought that those people still had some conscience, and since they took the initiative to bring this matter, he just gave him a favor. After all, being in the rivers and lakes, one more friend and one more road is still good after all.
At the banquet, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and Zuo Tong and a few people also comforted and enlightened Gu Shijian, the deceased was gone, so that he had the courage to face it, after all, he still had a long way to go.
But what he never expected was that after he said goodbye to those sanctimonious people, on the way back, he suddenly felt unwell, and after careful induction, he found out that a few sanctimonious hypocrites of Zuotong had actually poisoned him in the food. Moreover, just when he was about to use his strength to force the poison out, he was intercepted and killed by a group of black-clothed people, and it took him a lot of effort to barely get out of the encirclement.
However, due to the use of his strength, he missed the opportunity to force out the toxin, allowing the toxin to invade the bloodline, and he had always been haunted by the death of Baili Huanglan in his heart, so he also fell on the verge of falling into the demon.
It turned out that Zuo Tong and the others, who had been in the top position for a long time, how could they stand the preaching of a young man, just after Gu Shijian left for the first time, they colluded to get rid of Gu Shijian's plan, and prepared everything in secret, in the name of inviting Gu Shijian to the banquet to release his suspicions, but in fact, he invited you into the urn, to put it bluntly, it was just a Hongmen banquet.
After a period of conditioning, Gu Shijian's body was able to heal, so naturally he went back to them to seek revenge. He is not stupid, so he can naturally analyze and understand the reason, and naturally it is clear that Zuo Tong's original intention is to kill him.
This is why Zuo Tong and others were killed, originally Gu Shijian thought that this matter would pass after Zuo Tong and others were killed by himself, but what he never expected was that the incident that poisoned him was not the idea of Zuo Tong and the others. Although Zuo Tong and the others wanted to get rid of themselves, as doctors, they naturally didn't think of the idea of poisoning and then intercepting and killing for a while, and this idea was instead made by people in their families and forces.
Seeing that his demonic nature was getting heavier and heavier, Gu Shijian couldn't think too much, he just wanted to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, but he ran to seek it several times, but he found nothing, Zuo Tong their family and forces put all the blame on a few of their dead people, but behind the scenes, he was once again planning how to get rid of Gu Shijian.
After all, Gu Shijian had killed the most valuable medical Dao master of their respective families and forces, and this feud could be regarded as completely settled, although on the surface they had no way to take Gu Shijian, but if it was a conspiracy, it would be impossible to say.
However, everything stopped on that full moon night of the Lantern Festival. That night, Gu Shijian originally planned to find the master of the door again to ask him, but people are not as good as heaven, and the moment he just stepped into the Zuo family on the front foot, he suddenly fell into the demon and lost his mind, so it also created the tragedy of the five famous families and forces in the rivers and lakes that night.
The so-called heavenly sins are forgivable, and self-inflicted sins cannot live, probably that's the case, the bitter fruits brewed by the five major families and forces themselves, after all, let them drink it themselves, it can be said irresponsibly, it is they themselves who brought the disaster of annihilation.
