Old Man Mu's body has never been found, and hundreds of people have been looking back and forth in the Flower Soul Forest after the fire side by side, but they have only found the mutilated skeletons, which are more than a dozen soldiers of the Great Snow Mountain who were killed by the Destruction of the Heaven and Earth Array.

Gu Shenwei had to stay in the capital for two more days, sent a large number of people, and almost dug three feet into the woodland, but there was still no harvest.

In the end, everyone could only admit Shangguan Fei's guess, "When the fire came, Old Man Mu panicked, and when he touched the mechanism, he was cut into pieces by the array he had laid out, and he must have a share of those bones." ”

It seemed that this was the only possibility, and Gu Shenwei could not delay any longer, so he decided to set out early the next morning to catch up with the army.

He hoped that Shangguan Ru could stay in the country of Xiangji, replace the dead swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, and lead the slave soldiers left behind and the old and weak women and children in the city.

Shang Minru has not yet given a definite answer to this unexpected invitation.

Shangguan Fei was more anxious than the Dragon King, more active than his sister, and persuaded her at least three times a day, "Sister, it's a great opportunity, you can't miss it, you still want to go south, and if you go again, you will fall into the sea, stay, King of Aroma, no, Queen of Aroma, how good." ”

"I can't find a better place than here, the four seasons are like spring, the flowers and plants are flourishing, there are so many fruits and vegetables that I can't eat, I just need to grow a little food, whether it's people, everyone is knowledgeable, everyone is an obedient minion, they know what they should do and what they shouldn't do, and you don't have to worry about it. ”

"I have carefully investigated, the country of incense is blessed with unique terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, surrounded by mountains, the northwest is a large forest inhabited by wild people, only there is a narrow mountain road in the northeast, as long as the checkpoint is set up, a hundred or so people, you can block thousands of troops and horses, so ......"

Shangguan Fei was a little out of his mouth, and seeing that his sister was not particularly angry, he simply came out of the old way, "If you really don't want to manage the country, let me help you." Tell the Dragon King, leave me behind, don't hide it from you, I have a belly plan, Zhun Bao can make the country of Xiangji prosperous, the royal family will always be surnamed Shangguan, what stone castle will be returned when the time comes, this is a bigger and safer stone castle. ”

"Agree, sister, it's not easy to gain the trust of the Dragon King, and if you hesitate, you may let someone else take the lead. ”

Shangguan Ru was annoyed by his brother's words, "You go and invite the Dragon King and the Lotus Girl to come." ”

Shangguan Fei cheered, his face lit up with excitement, "Great, a lot of work has to be started immediately, my country has everything, but there is a shortage of young men, and they are all taken away by the Dragon King, but the people outside are too wild to be introduced, so we can only let the soldiers left behind marry three or five wives each, and have more boys, after a generation...... Oh, you're going to see the Dragon King. ”

As soon as the two arrived, Shangguan Ru drove away his brother, whose excitement had not subsided.

Shangguan Ru invited them to come, and what he wanted to say was not his own stay, but the sacrifice of the child, "I have transcribed a copy of his mantra, you can take it, and compare it with the book left by the high priest, and it should be possible to spell out the eighth chapter." ”

This is a guess by Shangguan Ru, when the Holy King was betrayed, he didn't believe in anyone, so he scattered the most important internal skills of the sect in piles of ancient books, and made up a set of half-truths and half-truths as clues to find them.

A stack of papers was placed on the table, and Shangguan Ru knew that these two people were very suspicious, so he called the priest out and asked him to recite the mantra again, "I wrote in a hurry, it is likely that there will be mistakes, so we had better compare them." ”

Gu Shenwei believed Shangguan Ru, and the high priest's books were all in the barracks, so she couldn't make them even if she wanted to, but he still agreed to let the priest recite them again.

It's one thing to trust someone, it's another thing to show that trust, and Gu Shenwei doesn't feel the need to treat anyone differently.

The sacrificial boy has been staying by Shangguan Ru's side for the past two days, volunteering to be her attendant.

The fright brought by Old Man Mu had not been completely eliminated from his heart, and he stammered when he spoke, and every few words he had to turn his head to look at Shangguan Ru, and only after receiving encouragement and comfort from her could he continue to memorize.

The mantra of more than 1,000 words was quickly memorized, and Shangguan Ru transcribed it word for word, and Gu Shenwei was especially interested in the second half of the content.

The first few hundred words of the formula are probably just like Shangguan expected, a set of password-like clues, not only true and false are mixed with each other, but also the content is jumpy, implying many contradictions.

That night, if the priest had memorized a few dozen more words in addition to the five crosses, everyone would have heard the problem.

But from about 600 words, the content is different, it is no longer a messy internal method, but a coherent exhortation with a smooth sentence.

The author of the mantra admonishes his descendants not to lightly cultivate the Great Awakening Sword Sutra.

Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl were finally convinced that the "Great Jue Sword Sutra" was the official name of that strange book, and the "Book of the Dead" was just an explanation at the end of the article.

The mantra says that good and evil have the same origin, and vary from person to person, just as steel can make a pickaxe and hoe, and can also cast a sword, and a sword can kill people and hurt oneself, and the sword is extremely powerful, unique in the world, and it is impossible to control this destructive force unless there is a person with great wisdom and wisdom.

What is considered to be great wisdom and wisdom, the mantra gives a simple after-the-fact judgment: if there are signs of backlash in the cultivation of the Sword Sutra, it should be stopped immediately.

Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl not only showed signs of backlash, in fact, the two had already had such an experience.

The insight of the mantra is not quite the same as the explanation at the end of the "Book of the Dead", which was painstakingly translated into the original Chinese text by Master Lianhua, which says that there are a total of sixteen possible explanations and practices of swordsmanship, no matter which practice method must be based on killing people as a means of improvement, and no matter how you practice, with the growth of skill, sooner or later you will be counterattacked, and the solution is to slow down and kill one person a year.

The most ideal solution is to practice the Daoless Divine Skill first, and when the internal strength reaches a certain level, it can greatly delay and weaken the counter-devouring power of the sword technique.

But this mantra, which has been kept in the minds of more than ten generations of the Holy King, believes that the backlash has nothing to do with internal strength, and what is needed is an ethereal "great wisdom and great wisdom".

Not long ago, Gu Shenwei felt that he trusted Shangguan Ru very much, but at this time, he couldn't help but suspect that she was doing ghosts.

Shangguan Ru was too deeply influenced by the "Theory of Judgment", and it was likely that he would ask the priest to recite an extra piece of text, so as to persuade the Dragon King and the Lotus Girl to give up the magical swordsmanship that is unparalleled in the world.

Gu Shenwei quickly glanced at Shangguan Ru, and most of her suspicions disappeared suddenly, Shangguan Ru had never seen the "Book of the Dead" at all, although the explanation at the end of the article was the beginning of the "Book of No Dao", but she had only read the strange original text, and had not seen the translation, and it was indeed impossible to make up such a set of exhortation formulas in two days.

The priest's expression is not like being entrusted by others, he is only a teenager, he has lived with the high priest since he was a child, he does not know how to lie, and in the eyes of the dragon king, he is as transparent as a clear stream.

It doesn't matter, Gu Shenwei thought, even if the "Book of the Dead" can turn a cultivator into a demon and a monster, he still has to practice, everyone in the world is looking for a way, and he is destined to walk on the road of death.

There is also the Lotus Girl, her mind is always unfathomable, but Gu Shenwei can occasionally have a heart-to-heart with her, because both of them voluntarily choose to die.

The three of them were silent for a while, unintentionally discussing this hidden mantra.

Shangguan Ru spoke first and gave the lotus girl a gift alone, "It's my fault for planting finger power in your body, I'm very sorry, the Seven Turns and Seven Tricks Centering Finger is the only way to resolve it, but I really can't practice it, so please let me pass it on to you." ”

Obvious surprise flashed on the face of the lotus girl, she was the imperial master of Xiaoyue Hall, her martial arts were strong, and whoever had the opportunity to control her would not give up easily.

"Thank you...... Thank. The Dutch girl's gratitude was a little reluctant, not ingrateful, but unaccustomed to saying such things.

"I have only one request, practicing centering fingers may have to kill, I hope ...... You kill the one who deserves to be killed. ”

There are thousands of people in this world who should be killed, and in a sense, the lotus girl doesn't think that anyone who died under her hands should not be killed, even the maid she killed when she just got rid of Indra incense is also a person who deserves to die.

The lotus girl would not play tricks with Shangguan Ru in words, so she said: "The person who is determined to kill will be a bad person even by your standards." ”

Gu Shen said goodbye first, he was not interested in the martial arts of the old man Mu, the lotus girl learned more and more things, he only focused on the "Book of the Dead", before leaving, he tried to persuade Shangguan Ru to stay again, "There are still 50,000 people in the country of incense, simple and innocent, and have not been polluted by the outside world, who governs this place will determine their future character, think about it, I will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

After passing all the exercises of the centering finger to the lotus girl, it was already the second half of the night, and Shangguan Ru was unsettled and could not sleep.

Shangguan Fei heard that his sister had invited the Dragon King and still didn't mention the most important thing, so he was so anxious that he couldn't break into his sister's room in the middle of the night, so he had to wait patiently and come early in the morning to find out.

"Sister, my good sister, my father wants to kill my mouth, my mother can't save it, so the two of us are left to depend on each other, even if you don't think about yourself, think about it for me, you refuse to stay, the dragon king will not let me stay alone, he wants to take me to fight, and it is to fight with the stone castle, you look at me like this, I can't be a warrior at all." You don't know how much I've suffered in the past few months, and I really can't hold on anymore......"

"You go and tell the Dragon King that I am willing to stay. ”

Shangguan Fei jumped up with joy.

"But I have the conditions, the country of incense is not the grain and grass base of the Great Snow Mountain, 50,000 people, who is willing to do things for the Dragon King, I will not interfere, but I will never organize anyone to send materials to the Great Snow Mountain. ”

"Well, it's a bit too early to make such a request. ”

"That's it. "Shangguan is stubborn.

Shangguan Fei thought that this was fine, the Dragon King obviously still had affection for his sister, and he might agree to this condition, sooner or later, the country of Xiangji would be re-sealed, and the connection with the Great Snow Mountain would be severed as soon as possible, so that it could be done once and for all.

Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl had already packed up and were ready to go, he personally came to see Shangguan Ru and agreed to her conditions, there are still more than ten Daxue Mountain warriors loyal to the Dragon King in the country of Xiangji, and they will prepare everything by themselves, without Shangguan Ru's intervention.

The parting is imminent, the two of them are very calm in their hearts, no one has any reluctance, they have been going away from each other for too long, and they have no real feelings before, through a few months of getting along, this point is finally revealed.

"Take my brother with you, he's the first person you don't welcome in the land of incense. Shangguan Ru made one last request.
