Chapter 1: Assassination
In the dark, Gu Xiaozhao opened his eyes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The wooden window on the side was ajar, and the silver moonlight filtered in through the window and landed on the wall on the side of the couch, leaving an irregular white spot of light.
It's that dream again!
In the boundless sea of blood, the cyan giant wolf phantom flashed, accompanied by bursts of thunder, countless black lightning slashed down in a row, and a small mountain peak floated in the endless void in the sea of blood, and around the peak, golden runes flashed, blocking the black lightning out......
He sat on the top of the peak and looked up at the sky, surrounded by a huge stone monument, and for some reason, at that time, his heart was full of anger and sorrow.
In the end, what caught his eye was endless darkness, the endless darkness that the vortex sucked him deep into.
Then he woke up.
For as long as he can remember, he had to have this dream every day, and when he first started, the dream was relatively vague, and in recent years, it has been no different from the real world.
Why?
He couldn't find an answer.
With a long exhalation, Gu Xiaozhao wanted to turn over.
However, the waist tingled as soon as he moved, and the lower body seemed to be his own, let alone bounce up, even if he moved slightly.
What's going on?
Like someone drugged?
Taking a deep breath, Gu Xiaozhao breathed inside, however, the true qi was blocked when it reached the back of the snowy mountain, and he couldn't go down at all.
It's really drugged!
Who?
Who exactly?
This is the dripping water view of Liangjin County, Banan County, Shu Kingdom, built against the back of the 100,000 Hengduan Mountain Range, and it is the largest martial arts practice holy place in the southwest of the entire Banan County.
By his side, his father Gu Quan arranged for three teenagers of the same age, who lived in a wing room on one side.
Usually, the three of them, who are companion disciples, take turns to accompany them, and they have to let them try food and drink first, and under such strict protection, they will be drugged?
It can only be an inner ghost!
It should be a kind of drug called Diemary, that thing is colorless and tasteless, it is a thing specially used by the disciples of the Dripping Water View to deal with fierce beasts, the longer the time, the more domineering the effect.
Rosemary has only one effect, that is, it is used to anesthetize the nerves, it can cut off the connection between the mind and the body, the light case is paralyzed, and the severe person is comatose.
This thing is difficult to detect, and when taken in small amounts, it has the effect of creating hallucinations, and if it is placed in the vegetable soup for people to drink, it can be said that it is unaware.
It must be an inner ghost!
Only the inner ghost knows that he has never entered the mountain to fight with the fierce beast, and there is no stacking marinary in his hand, and naturally there is no antidote.
Gu Xiaozhao frowned slightly, and gently exhaled a long breath.
The person who drugged didn't know that Diemary didn't have much effect on himself, and he had a certain immunity to drugs such as anesthetizing nerves.
So, I'm awake now.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Xiaozhao closed his eyes, eliminated anxiety and other emotions, and then, in the rhythmic breathing, visualized a bright moon in the sea of knowledge.
This exercise was obtained in a dream.
To be precise, he has had this exercise in his mind since he remembered, and it is a short mantra with a few crosses, and he repeats it silently when he visualizes, and it has a miraculous effect.
This exercise is called the Infinite Vientiane Tong Minglu, and now, the scriptures he knows are the first part of the exercise, which is called the Enlightened Heart and Seeing Nature, which is divided into two parts, the Enlightened Heart and the Seeing Nature.
At this time, he was still stuck at the first threshold, Mingxin.
This technique directly acts on the mind and mind, which is very different from the mystical methods of this world.
In this Fang Tianyun Realm, most of them mainly cultivate their own physical bodies, which is called the Secret Transmission of Martial Arts.
Gu Xiaozhao also has a secret inheritance of martial arts, however, whether it is the Xuangong of the Dripping Water View or the inheritance of the Gu family of the thousand-year-old family, it is difficult for him to cultivate to a high and profound realm.
Now, at the age of seventeen, his martial arts cultivation is only in the early stage of forging bones.
Practicing skin and forging bones, easy tendons and marrow, these are the four levels of the body refining realm, and they are also the four levels of martial arts entry.
The three peers and Gu Xiaozhao began to practice martial arts together, and now, Gu Dazhong, who has the slowest entry into the realm, is the peak of Yi Jin, and Gu Chuang, who is the fastest, is already the great consummation of the marrow, and he is only one step away from stepping into the next realm, the Qi refining realm.
Only when you step into the Qi Refining Realm can you be regarded as a true martial artist.
Now, they in the Body Refining Realm are just martial arts apprentices!
Cultivation is so weak, which also makes Gu Xiaozhao a joke for many people.
The Dishui Guan Lower Court accepts apprentices every three years, and Gu Xiaozhao has been in for more than seven years, and his martial arts cultivation is not even as good as some eleven or twelve-year-old genius disciples who only came in the year before.
In the entire lower house, his fame is very loud, and he can be described as a rare waste material in ten years.
For everyone's disdain, Gu Xiaozhao completely ignored it.
He knows exactly what he's doing.
Although his cultivation of the Infinite Vientiane Passage Clarity Record Clarity Chapter was slow, it had the advantage of being able to strengthen the divine soul and enhance the divine thoughts, which was the so-called spiritual ability.
Compared with martial artists of the same age, Gu Xiaozhao's divine thoughts are much stronger.
That's why he was hit with Stacky Nesty and still woke up.
Reciting the scriptures silently, visualizing the bright moon, there is white brilliance sprinkled from the moon, mixed with the true qi, driving the true qi in the meridians to run hard, during which the white brilliance from time to time to expel and dissolve some lilac spots, in this way, it took several times more effort than usual, and the true qi can run for half a week.
At this time, there was a slight feeling in his lower limbs, and Gu Xiaozhao opened his eyes.
Since the other party is drugged, he must have a back hand.
You have to deal with it.
He supported the bed board with both hands, slowly moved his body, put the porcelain pillow under him against the wall, raised his head and shoulders slightly, and the posture became easier to exert force, and then, the probe took out a dagger from the dark box under the bed board, and then closed his eyes, squinting slightly, as if he was asleep, and his breath was slender.
After a stick of incense, there was a babbling sound, and the door was gently pushed open, and the moonlight cast a man's figure against the wall, shaking, like a ghost seeking souls.
Maintaining the rhythm of breathing, Gu Xiaozhao glanced at it from the corner of his eye.
Although there was moonlight, the room was still slightly dim, and Gu Xiaozhao couldn't see the person's face clearly, but even if it was just a quick glance, he still recognized the person.
It was one of his three companion disciples, Gu Chuang.
Gu Chuang is the son of the Gu family, his mother used to be Gu Xiaozhao's nurse, the two grew up together since childhood, and the relationship between them is not bad.
Among the three companion disciples, he had the best relationship with Gu Chuang.
Gu Feiyang is too proud, Gu Dazhong is too stupid, only Gu Chuang is smart, but he guards the duties of his subordinates, so the two are basically inseparable and practice together in the Shuangzhao Hall of the Dishui Temple.
Why did he betray?
Gu Xiaozhao couldn't figure it out, his heart ached faintly.
In the silver moonlight, Gu Chuang staggered.
His breathing was very rapid, the expression on his face was very nervous, and his steps were a little vague, as if he was a little hesitant, and almost slowly moved to the bed.
"Young master, don't blame me, I don't want to......"
He muttered quietly, his voice trembling terribly.
Then, he lowered his head, and with trembling hands, he picked up the quilt that was scattered aside.
Do you want to suffocate yourself?
In this way, no traces will be left?
What a naivety!
Just when Gu Chuang lowered his head and picked up the corner of the quilt with both hands, Gu Xiaozhao pressed his left hand on the bed board, his upper body bounced up like a spring, and the short dagger in his right hand was slammed into Gu Chuang's waist from bottom to top.
"Ahh
After being stabbed, Gu Chuang couldn't help but exhale in pain.
The sound sounded in the silence of the night, startling the birds that were sleeping under the eaves, and suddenly there was the chirping of birds, but there was no other movement.
Red blood arrows splattered out of the wound on his waist and splashed his bed.
"You ......"
Gu Chuang's eyes widened, he loosened the quilt, his right hand formed a tiger's claw, and grabbed Gu Xiaozhao's head.
Under the operation of qi and blood, blood splashed out again from the wound on his waist, which was more than a foot high, making his breath not perfect enough, coupled with the haste and strength, the strength was not enough, and the powerful Yunlong probe claw of this move became vain and weak, and it was in vain.
Gu Xiaozhao's left hand reached forward, grabbed Gu Chuang's wrist, and pulled it down.
After a stumbling, Gu Chuang threw himself on the couch, and then, Gu Xiaozhao's left hand moved forward, accurately pressed Gu Chuang's head, and pressed him on the couch, making him unable to move for a while. Next, he held the dagger in his right hand and slashed lightly at the man's neck, cutting through the major artery.
Blood splattered and rustled.
"Giggle......
Gu Chuang made a strange sound, his body was like a big fish caught ashore, he struggled to slip off the side of the bed, fell to the ground on his back, he raised his hand, and covered the wound on his neck weakly.
"Mother......"
The voice came out, and the body writhed a few times, and then, there was no sound.
Looking coldly at the corpse under the wooden couch, Gu Xiaozhao's face was expressionless.
He had mixed feelings in his heart, countless unfamiliar emotions were intertwined, and it was difficult to tell for a while that this was the first time he had killed someone, and it was his former close partner who he had killed.
However, he did not feel unwell.
The so-called emotions, whether they are positive emotions or negative energy emotions, he also has them, however, he will not be dominated by emotions.
All along, he had a dream of becoming the strongest of the heavens and all worlds.
It's not so much a dream as an obsession.
When he was haunted by that nightmare every night, he had this obsession, this obsession that had to be completed, if he couldn't complete it, the thought would not be accessible, and life would be painful and full of demons.
He knew that if he wanted to become the supreme and strongest, if he wanted to ascend above the Nine Heavens, along the way, he didn't know how many people he had to kill, and it could be said that there were corpses under the divine seat.
In his heart, there is no room for weakness.
After taking a few deep breaths, and when his arms had strength, Gu Xiaozhao turned down from the couch with his hands and sat down reluctantly against the wooden couch.
Beneath him was a pool of blood that hadn't dried up, and he didn't care in the slightest.
Digging out Gu Chuang's waist, he took off the treasure bag, tore open the silk cord that bound the treasure bag, opened it, and poured the things inside to the ground.
After a while, Gu Xiaozhao found the antidote to diemary in those porcelain bottles, and then he opened the cap and took the antidote in the bottle. Soon, a stream of heat rose from the abdomen, and with a few breaths, the whole body became hot, gradually dispelling the cold and powerless feeling.
After returning to normal, Gu Xiaozhao slowly stood up.
Glancing at Gu Chuang's corpse, his gaze was as cold as snow.
