Chapter 1099: Book Theft
The experience of the Western Regions is like a continuous mountain, Gu Shenwei is at this end, the memories of the Central Plains of his childhood are on the other end, and he will never be able to cross it, even if he stands on the highest peak and looks at it from afar, he can only see the floating clouds, but there are a few things he remembers clearly, even if the sky falls, he will not forget.
Gu's Hopewell is one of them.
When he was just five years old, his father Gu Lun began to tell the wonders of the family internal strength method, and the usually calm general always showed deep pride, which was the impact of both swords and guns and the victory in the court.
It is under the personal guidance of his father that Gu Shenwei learned the first layer of Hopewell Jin, although he has been staying in the Yang Jin stage for more than ten years, setting the slowest record for Gu's descendants, but his confidence in his own family has never weakened, the only regret is that even if everything is normal, the speed is very slow, in order to take revenge as soon as possible, Gu Shenwei had to abolish the power and turn to practice the Daoless Divine Skill.
Gu's Hejin has a clear lineage, Gu Shenwei's first ** was more than 20 years ago, and Marshal Yang should have been fighting with Luojiazhuang at that time, and the so-called "book theft" has not yet happened.
Gu Shenwei knew that Luojiazhuang would send a hermit to challenge him, but he didn't expect the other party to make such a ridiculous accusation.
He learned from different people that Marshal Yang was a person with a changeable image, who was a thief in his early years, who was captured by Gu Shenwei's grandfather and taken under his account, and since then he has been a slave and a friend.
It didn't take long for Marshal Yang to start alone in the rivers and lakes, and won the title of "hero", because he had a dispute with Locke's family because of his superiority, and after defeating a Locke swordsman, he came to Locke's village to ask for guilt, and even volunteered to be a slave for three years, so his chivalrous name became more prosperous, and he became close friends with the children of the Locke family.
Gu Luo's two families have different positions in the court, and they have formed a grudge a long time ago, and Marshal Yang's flattering behavior on both sides has been criticized, Gu Shenwei has never heard of this famous hero when he was a child, and the reason is related to this.
Suddenly, no one knew the reason, Marshal Yang quietly withdrew from the Central Plains and moved to the Shule Kingdom in the Western Regions, two years earlier than the Gu family.
After Gu Shenwei returned to the Central Plains six years ago, he once entrusted others to collect information about Marshal Yang, except for the richer details, no other secrets were revealed, and the complex relationship between Gu, Yang, and Luo was rumored to be a lot in the rivers and lakes, but no one really understood the inside story.
"Gu's harmony strength?" Luo Qicang let out a sarcastic sneer.
Gu Shenwei has no intention of arguing with him, the Gu family does not need the Luo family's recognition, and when he was still in the Western Regions and the Northern Garden, someone mentioned the Gu family's **, which is enough to prove that the so-called book theft and book donation are nonsense, not to mention that Marshal Yang has no contact with the Gu family at all, even if he really steals something from the Luo family, it has nothing to do with the Gu family.
He moved the ordinary narrow knife in his hand slightly, and said, "Why waste your tongue? I have been looking forward to fighting with the two of you, and tonight the night is like water, just right for ten steps of blood splashing." ”
Luo Qicang's long sword had already been drawn halfway, and at this time it was all out of the sheath, his left hand put the scabbard behind his arm, and the long sword in his right hand pointed diagonally to the ground, "That's right, the things that go will never come back, Marshal Yang is dead, and the Gu family is the only one left with you, as long as you are killed, everything will be over." ”
Gu Shenwei is a veteran of controlling anger, so his response is only a step forward, and Luo Qicang on the opposite side also takes a step, the two are still some distance apart, but at the same time they feel the tension that can only be found when they fight closely, and the next step is extremely slow and cautious.
Luo Pingying and Luo Shaoxiong each took three steps back to give way to the venue.
Gu Shenwei's left foot was almost touching the ground, and he felt nervous, as well as excitement that he hadn't seen for a long time.
In the past six years, his only opponent is the "angry" Huo Yun, the battle is by no means easy, Huo Yun is even more ruthless when he falls into a state of madness, if it happens that she remembers the hatred of Huan Nu, it is simply desperate, Gu Shenwei has maintained his actual combat state and ability, but he has lost the excitement when he draws his knife, because no matter what Huo Yun does, he will not kill her.
Luo Qicang is the type of opponent he is looking forward to.
Luo Qicang's left foot is inches off the ground, and it has not fallen, as if there is a trap under his feet, and he will be unlucky if he goes down in one step, there are fourteen offensive routes in front of him, each of which has merits, and there are also small flaws, he hopes that the Dragon King can reveal more intentions, as long as he can choose the only route.
He prepared for the worst, assuming that his brother Luo Qikang died face to face under the Dragon King's sword, then he had to use ten successful forces from the first move.
There is no route in Gu Shenwei's eyes, only distance, the distance between him and the enemy, can quickly make up for almost all flaws, this is one of the basic concepts of the Book of the Dead, as long as he can end this distance before the enemy, even if it is only for a moment, he is the winner.
Six years ago, Gu Shenwei re-practiced the Wudao Divine Skill in accordance with the treatment of Sun Shenyi, and soon adopted the normal practice method, and sure enough, he recovered his strength, and the hidden danger of going mad was greatly weakened.
Just a year ago, he was able to emit a sword aura similar to Huo Yun's, but he still used his sword, just to shorten the distance faster.
He had become accustomed to the weight and length of the Narrow Blade, and saw it as a natural extension of his arm, a feeling that no sword qi or other weapon could bring, and although it provided only a small advantage, he still cherished it.
Between the two of them is like a bamboo pole that is lost when it is flicked, and under their joint squeezing, it is about to break, and that is also the moment when they must make a move.
In that void, there was not even room for a feather, but there was somehow an extra lantern.
There were seven or eight lanterns hanging under the eaves on all sides of the courtyard, and only this one ran between the two masters at an inopportune time, destroying the momentum of the moment at will.
Behind the lantern was Zihe Zhenren, who had not spoken for a while, as if he had fallen asleep, and when he woke up, he missed a key passage, so he was puzzled by the scene in front of him, "Wait, young man, it's too belligerent, things haven't been explained clearly, why do you have to fight to the death." ”
"It's very clear. Luo Qicang said coldly, the fourteen offensive lines in front of him were gone, and the purple crane with short hair was like a mud spot in an extremely clean room, not much, but it eliminated the atmosphere that had been carefully cleaned up.
Gu Shenwei took a step back, and even put away the narrow knife, he remembered the true purpose of this visit, although the conflict with the Locke hermit was inevitable, tonight was not the only chance, "The real person's question should be answered. ”
"Lo and behold, this is the benefit of my stay, to quell the belligerence of the young with the wisdom of the elderly. The real person carefully placed the lantern on the ground, "Luo Pingying, although you are not young, you don't seem to have as much wisdom as me." ”
"You are an old immortal, how can I be compared to a mortal?" Luo Pingying still thought for a while before replying, and was as polite to Zihe Zhenren as when he first met.
The real person smiled and accepted this half-truth compliment, he had already learned to look at the problem from another angle, which would reduce a lot of thinking and not consume too much brain power, at this moment, he only thought about one thing: Gu Shenwei should not do it with the Luo family tonight, regardless of the truth or falsity of Marshal Yang's book theft, this competition will only cover up a more important crisis.
So he wants to use his status to stop the "young people's belligerence" as much as possible, "Uh, I don't understand the whole thing, you are too vague, for example, doesn't the Gu family have a Hopewell Strength? I remember how many years ago I heard that the Gu family's swords and guns were all based on Hopewell Jin, and I was a child at that time." ”
Luo Pingying moved forward, Luo Qicang retreated, the two completed the handover, and the former was responsible for dealing with the doubts, "The Gu family has a harmonious strength, but it is very ordinary, and it is not the same as the passage of time of the Luo family." If the old immortal still has an impression, he should remember that in the early years, the Gu family only had a double swords, and there were rumors about Hopewell Jin five or six years before the Gu family left the Central Plains, so there was no way to be included in the 'three uniques', and it could only be claimed to be the foundation of the 'double uniques'. ”
The real person tried hard to recall, and said apologetically: "I can't remember, I'm too old, and the Gu family rarely walks the rivers and lakes, and I can remember that there is such a family, which is good." ”
Luo Pingying didn't care, "That old immortal should always remember that the Gu family has never been a master of internal strength." ”
"Like, at least I haven't heard of it. "The real person recognized Luo Pingying's statement this time, although the Gu family is not a sect in the rivers and lakes, but there have been people who have served as palace guards in the past dynasties, if there are really people with outstanding skills, there should always be some rumors on the rivers and lakes.
Gu Shenwei didn't interject, the Gu family does not have a famous master of internal strength, but this doesn't mean anything, Gu Lun once mentioned to his son that the Gu family is acting as an official, and they are getting farther and farther away from the rivers and lakes.
Everyone's thoughts are different, but Zihe Zhenren still stands by Gu Shenwei's side, "But this doesn't prove that the Gu family and Marshal Yang collaborated to steal books, right? ”
"That's because the Luo family has never announced this matter, so that the old fairy can laugh, the first two years we didn't even know the book**, and we regretted that Marshal Yang went to the Western Regions, and specially sent his children to inquire about his whereabouts, but I found him in Shule Country that he was practicing hard. Faced with questioning, Marshal Yang admitted everything, he said that he was in order to return the favor, but he was also obsessed with this **. That disciple was not Marshal Yang's opponent, so he had to return to the Central Plains, and when I rushed there in person, Marshal Yang was dead, and the Gu family was also wiped out. ”
"Later, when the rumors of the Dragon King came, I felt puzzled, but I didn't take action, and Qikang and Qibai didn't know about it. In the end, the exact news came, the Dragon King was actually a descendant of the Gu family, and his martial arts had improved by leaps and bounds, far surpassing Jinpeng Castle, and at that time I was sure that Marshal Yang had stolen the Qiankun and gave it to the Gu family. But I was a step too late again, and before I could take action, the dragon king disappeared and reappeared until today. ”
Luo Pingying's words were steady and calm, it sounded true, but Gu Shenwei's heart was already clear, what the Luo family hermit wanted was not some harmony and the passage of time, but his death scripture. (To be continued.) )
