Chapter 34: The First Killing
It seems to be eternal, and it seems to be instantaneous.
Ke Xiao woke up and found himself in an extremely unfamiliar environment, and Guan Shengtang was looking at him with a kind face.
"You...... Are you dead too?" Ke Xiao trembled and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Guan Shengtang's face.
No wonder he had this idea.
At this time, Guan Shengtang's face was terrifyingly pale, and he no longer looked like the crane-haired boy he saw before, and his face was full of wrinkles.
The originally radiant gaze also seemed cloudy and sloppy, and the snow-white hair and beard were all dyed with an abnormal dark gray, and the whole person was full of twilight.
And he himself absolutely did not believe that he could escape from so many hands.
"Lao Tzu is the number one in the Dao Saint Realm, how can he die...... Poof!" Guan Shengtang didn't finish his sentence, tilted his head suddenly, and squirted out a mouthful of unusually fishy black blood.
Ke Xiao burst into tears: "Sect Master...... It's not worth it!"
He was sure he wasn't dead, because tears welled up in his eyes when he asked that sentence.
How can a dead man have tears? Even if there are tears, how can they be so hot.
Obviously, it was Guan Shengtang who fought back and saved himself.
Guan Shengtang wiped the blood foam from the corner of his mouth, coughed lightly and scolded with a smile: "Stupid, my world is in the fairy world, okay, the mortal world is almost at the end." You are the hope. ”
Ke Xiao finally couldn't hold back the grief in his heart, and threw himself into Guan Shengtang's arms, sobbing silently.
"Alright, alright, it's okay. Guan Shengtang patted Ke Xiao, "It's time for us to get down to business—have you ever killed someone?"
Ke Xiao tried his best to control his emotions, got up from Guan Shengtang's arms, knelt down and said, "No ...... The disciple is incompetent!"
It wasn't until today that he realized that he had been in the midst of blessings and did not know blessings.
Not only did he never kill anyone, but it was conservatively estimated that at least half of the disciples in the other courtyard had never killed anyone.
And all of this is a phenomenon that only appeared after Guan Shengtang became the sect master, which can be described as unique in the cultivation realm.
As long as the disciples of the other academy can pay the annual tuition, you can even stay here until you die.
This is the reason why fifteen-year-old Ke Xiao was able to become roommates with one hundred and eighty-four-year-old Zhang Tongling.
Not only the low-level monks, but also the mortals in the territory of the Yuan Zai Sect have also been blessed by the sect with a very humane nature.
This kind of policy is contrary to the overall environment of the cultivation realm.
The reason why it can be carried out depends on Guan Shengtang's absolute force.
But Guan Shengtang has become what he is now because he saved himself......
"What is incompetent and not incompetent, isn't cultivation for the sake of immortality? However, you see that the world has gradually changed its taste, and killing and plundering have taken over the mainstream...... Ahem. ”
Guan Shengtang looked extremely tired, and after gasping a few times, he got up and went to the corner, proposed a person, and threw it to Ke Xiao's side.
How many!
At this time, his face was frightened, his eyes were full of begging, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he could only make a sound of ahhh
His tongue was plucked out raw!
"Back then, I swore to my master that I couldn't kill him, and you had to stab him with this sword. ”
Guan Shengtang took out a handful of three-foot Qingfeng out of nowhere, handed it to Ke Xiao, and pointed to the heart of the many: "I have abolished his cultivation, and he is no different from a mortal, you come here!"
Ke Xiao has 100,000 reasons to break into thousands of pieces.
But when he grabbed Qing Feng and wanted to stab into He Duo's chest, his hands trembled so much that he could barely hold the sword.
"It's like this for the first killing. But you have to stab this sword, understand?"
Guan Shengtang didn't urge him, "Think about your task, how many heads will fall to the ground! You can't pass this level, and you hesitate when facing a life-and-death situation, but you can only take the way to die." ”
"I know, I know, this beast not only wants to search for my soul, but also harms you like this......" Ke Xiao took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and stabbed it fiercely regardless of it!
He still couldn't stab down, because Jian Feng was caught by Guan Shengtang!
"If this is a matter of life and death, who can you kill with your eyes closed? I want you to watch him die and understand? This is a world of killing, and you have to adapt to it as soon as possible...... Poof!" Guan Shengtang's voice was violent, affecting the injury, and another mouthful of black blood spurted out.
"Okay, I'll keep my eyes open, my eyes open......" Ke Xiao repeated, swallowing his saliva with difficulty, and stabbing him with a sword again—
He screamed so much, but he didn't die.
Under the huge psychological pressure, Ke Xiao's hands trembled violently, and the blade of the sword that was obviously stabbed to the heart was actually crooked to his left arm......
Ke Xiao tried a few more times, and finally slowly calmed down.
However, he still did not stab him to death with a single sword, but instead stabbed him in a non-lethal place.
even took the initiative to explain to Guan Shengtang, the tone was indifferent and cruel!
"Sect Master, there is a kind of punishment in my hometown, called Ling Chi. ”
During the whole process, Guan Shengtang didn't say a word, until Ke Xiao finally ended so many lives.
Guan Shengtang finally spoke, and roughly said the ins and outs-
He Qiduo was not born to He Fengkun's original partner, but an illegitimate child.
Because he couldn't give a name, he was discovered by He Fengkun's original partner, and He Qiduo's biological mother was killed by his original partner.
He Qiduo escaped, suffered a lot, and hid in Tibet, until He Fengkun's original partner fell, He Fengkun took He Qiduo home and gave him the status of mother.
As a result, he poisoned He Fengkun with his own hands!
Before He Fengkun died, he told Guan Shengtang that it was his own half-heartedness, which eventually led to a tragedy.
Because he considered that the original copy was not at fault, he didn't dare to take it home knowing how many people were left behind.
How much to avenge his mother, it is understandable, but it is not his vicious nature.
He begged Guan Shengtang to give He Qitang a chance to mend his ways, and if possible, help him.
Until He Fengkun fell, Guan Shengtang took over the position of sect master, and after communicating the will of Zhang Tudao, the founding patriarch of Yuan Zai Sect, he found that he was actually a disciple of the inheritance!
His task is to correct his mother's name within a hundred years.
"Honestly, it's just too hard. "
Speaking of this, the anger in Guan Shengtang's eyes was more than sadness: "I even feel that it is more difficult than my inheritance task back then.
Shi Niang is strong, and there is very little gap between her cultivation and Shizun, and she is nearly two hundred years younger.
Shizun is the publisher of the task, and he does not dare to show any favoritism at all......
But how much it was achieved, in such a tragic way. ”
"Don't you think it......" Ke Xiao thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body.
Guan Shengtang nodded and said, "Yes, I have always suspected that he deliberately revealed his mother's identity to let Shi Niang know, thus invisibly affecting Shi Zun's impression of Shi Niang."
Human nature has nothing to do with task favoritism......"
It's a pity that he has no evidence.
Moreover, since Guan Shengtang became the sect master, He Qiduo also took the initiative to apply to give up the position of family inheritance, and was willing to stand behind the sect as an existence like a foundation.
For 2,300 years, how many people have been indisputable with the world, obsessed with cultivation, it seems that what Feng Kun said, the great revenge has been avenged, and the wish has been fulfilled, and since then people and animals have been harmless.
Later, how many wives and children were born, and this son was actually Gu Antong!
He took the initiative to tell me that he didn't want An Tong to bear such a heavy past of this family, and would rather stand behind him and guard it silently. I think he was right, so I arranged for An Tong's current identity. Guan Shengtang said.
It's a pity that he never dreamed that he would know the content of the inheritance task.
Unexpectedly, it was obvious that Ke Xiao was helping Gu Antong's family, but he was still ruthless enough to attack Ke Xiao.
People who can be ungrateful to this extent, whether Guan Shengtang or Ke Xiao, almost dare to conclude that the tragedy of He Fengkun's family back then was deliberately done by this animal!
