In Songhai City, Gu Xun was about to leave the General's Mansion and go out for a walk. As soon as he raised his buttocks, his face changed and he smiled, and he immediately sat back down.
"Rare visitor, please come in."
After Gu Xun finished speaking, Gai Nie, dressed in off-white robes, appeared in the yard, holding his new sword in his hand.
Gu Xun glanced at the sword and asked with a smile, "Is there a new weapon?"
Hearing this, Gai Nie raised the sword in his hand and brushed his palm from the simple scabbard. Then he replied in a deep voice, "Master Xu helped me recast the broken Yuan Hong."
"Did you change your name? Are you still called Yuan Hong?" Gu Xun still didn't say anything serious and continued to ask about the sword.
Gai Nie was not in a hurry, shook his head and replied, "The name Yuan Hong is no longer used... and no other names are given."
"A sword is just a sword, as long as it is controlled by me when I hold it in my hand, there is no need to give it a name."
"A sword master is a sword master after all. I am not as good as you in terms of sword practice." Gu Xun smiled and shook his head, then raised his hand and invited, "Brother Gai, please sit down."
Gai Nie walked into the small pavilion and sat opposite Gu Xun. The sword was placed beside him, and then he responded:
"The Imperial Master is so complimentary."
Gu Xun calmly flicked his hand, reheated the cold tea on the stone table in the pavilion, poured a cup of tea for Gai Nie, and then continued:
"If Senior Guiguzi didn't teach you those messy things and only focused on practicing swordsmanship, I'm afraid, Brother Gai, your swordsmanship would be the best in history."
"Weizhuang is no match for you either."
Gai Nie was silent for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "The Strategist family has always only produced strategists, and there is no way to cultivate a pure swordsman."
Gu Xun pursed his lips and smiled, poured himself some tea and said, "Even so, if Brother Gai and Wei Zhuang had a vertical duel now, his winning rate would be slightly lower than yours."
The result of the life-and-death battle between brothers Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang was, in Gu Xun's view, only possible for both sides to suffer losses and to die together.
But now, in Gu Xun's eyes, the balance of victory has tilted slightly toward Gai Nie. It's not a big gap, but it is enough to show that Gai Nie's strength has really made further progress.
For a person of his strength, his strength may not improve in the next few decades of his life. These small breakthroughs are extremely difficult.
Gai Nie simply responded, "I have no intention of competing with Xiaozhuang."
"I know this, so I won't talk about it." Gu Xun smiled and waved his hand, signaling to skip this topic.
If only one of Gai Nie Weizhuang really wanted to decide the winner of this vertical and horizontal battle, the two of them would not be in a stalemate to this day.
There's really not much to say about this fact.
Gu Xun then talked about Gai Nie's new sword, "This sword has been recast and remade again. In fact, it is no longer suitable to be your sword, Brother Gai."
Weapons have never been recommended for secondary operations such as recasting. It was because Yuanhong was recast and transformed from Canhong that it had flaws and was directly cut off by shark teeth.
Then it is recast from the Yuanhong fragments, and it is still difficult to achieve a perfect roundness without leaving any flaws.
To ordinary people, even a top master like Gao Jianli is an undoubted magic weapon, but to Gai Nie, it is somewhat unsatisfactory.
Gai Nie glanced at his new sword, shook his head, and didn't care about it, "As long as you have a sword, everything else doesn't matter."
When Gu Xun saw this, he didn't do much to dissuade him. He just mentioned it in passing as a casual conversation starter.
"Then, why did Brother Gai come to see me today?" At this time, Gu Xun finally started talking to Gai Nie about the topic.
"The Imperial Master should know." Gai Nie replied calmly.
Holding the tea cup, Gu Xun stood up and walked to the edge of the pavilion in a hurry, facing the sunlight and looking at the mirage on the seaside:
"People from the Mo family broke into the mirage before. Brother Gai also went there?"
"I went." Ganie replied bluntly, "And I also met a woman."
"This... although you came to me, you have probably met that person, but I am still quite surprised."
"Sakura Prison... is not easy to enter."
"It's just good luck and the right opportunity." Gai Nie simply explained indifferently.
Gu Xun nodded, and probably guessed that the mistake was caused by Xinghun, so he didn't get too entangled and continued:
"As for what you want to ask...everything is fine now, isn't it?"
"But he won't stay well forever." Ganie replied calmly.
Gu Xun asked, "What do you want to do?"
Gai Nie was silent for a moment, and then replied, "The man said that Tianming must be sent to the mirage...before the mirage sets sail."
He just didn't know what to do, so he came to Gu Xun.
Gu Xun held the tea cup in one hand, put the other hand on his leg and moved it gently, pacing back and forth along the corner of the pavilion, pondering for a moment before replying:
"It should be said that that woman didn't lie to you."
"But you warned me not to go up to the mirage again at dawn." Gai Nie immediately replied.
Hearing this, Gu Xun corrected him, "Excuse me, what I said is that we are not allowed to approach the mirage again within a short period of time."
"Everyone in the Yin Yang family values that boy very much. Whether it's the Moon God or Star Soul, they all have their own thoughts." Gu Xun continued to explain.
"I can suppress their evil thoughts for a while, but I can't keep an eye on them all the time. Therefore, if I board the ship rashly again in the morning, I may not be able to get through as luckily as I did the first time."
"The woman who told you to board the ship at dawn also has evil intentions."
Gai Nie frowned, and after a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Is that person Crown Princess Yan?"
Gu Xun nodded, not hiding anything.
Seeing this, Gai Nie simply asked, "What is her relationship with Dong Jun, the former deputy head of the Yin Yang family?"
Gu Xun thought for a while and simply revealed all the past events from that year:
"At that time, Prince Dan of Yan fled from Xianyang and returned to the State of Yan. He received strong support from the Yin and Yang family."
"You know more or less about this."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gai Nie nodded. He didn't know much about this matter, but only vaguely knew it.
Gu Xun continued, "The Yin Yang family took action naturally because Yan Dan had their own interests."
"In order to achieve their goal, the Yin and Yang family not only need to let Yan Dan return to the country, but also send someone to follow him to the Yan country."
"This candidate was originally the deputy head Dongjun, but due to many changes, Dongjun rebelled and left the family, so the plan naturally came to nothing."
"But the Yin Yang family's goal has to be achieved, so... they changed a candidate to approach Yan Dan."
"Is that that woman?" Gai Nie calmly took over the question and asked.
Gu Xun nodded, "In terms of identity, she can barely be regarded as half Dongjun. The substitute must have some of the warmth of the real thing."
"Did the union between her and Yan Dan have problems from the beginning?" Gai Nie looked complicated. After being silent for a moment, he couldn't help but ask again.
"I'm afraid only the parties concerned can explain clearly what happened between them." Gu Xun did not insist that the woman had a problem, he only said that it was a family matter.
Gai Nie remained silent, but he didn't want to dwell too much on this issue.
Yan Dan is already dead, so there is no point in worrying about whether the Princess Yan has other intentions.
She is currently imprisoned in a mirage by the Yin-Yang family. She is always hostile to the Yin-Yang family. She is not a friend to the Mo family, at least not completely an enemy.
"Will she hurt Tianming?" Ganie thought for a moment and asked again.
"Well..." Gu Xun hesitated. After pacing for a few times, he replied, "I can't answer this question."
"I'm not sure if she will hurt Tianming. As expected, I'm afraid she doesn't even know what she will do to Tianming."
"The root of everything lies in those four words."
Gu Xun did not explain which words it was, but both he and Gai Nie knew it well.
Canglong Qisu!
Ganie fell into silence again.
He didn't want Tianming to be related to Canglong Qisu, but it seemed that everything was doomed from the assassination that year.
"Is there no other way?" Genie could only ask.
Gu Xun raised his head and replied calmly, "Whether it was the Sleeping Curse Seal that Tianming was cast on since he was a child, or the Six Soul Terror Curse that he was cast on later, they are actually not fatal to him."
"If the spell could kill him, he wouldn't be alive today."
Being listed as taboo spells by a sect like the Yin Yang Family shows how terrifying these two spells are.
But because of this, if the spell cannot kill the cursed person for a while, there is a high probability that it will not be able to kill it in a lifetime.
But just because you don't want to die doesn't mean there's no harm, and it's very troublesome to break the curse.
"So you have never dealt with Tianming's problem before..." Gai Nie suddenly understood after hearing this, and finally understood why Gu Xun had been indifferent before.
Gu Xun smiled and continued, "His biggest problem, and the only real problem, is the alien power in his body."
"This power protected him from dying under the Yin and Yang spell, but it also became a fatal curse that would really kill him."
"That power was not born with him, but... it entered his body after that day, the day his father died."
"So... we can only let him climb the mirage?" Gai Nie's tone rarely fluctuated, and he asked slightly excitedly.
Gu Xun walked back to the table and sat down, put down his tea cup, and replied with a smile, "Theoretically, this is the safest way to handle it, because if he didn't get on the ship before the mirage set sail, I'm not sure what would happen.
as a result of."
"But this is also the most unsafe way to deal with it, because I am also not sure what the consequences will be if he gets on the ship."
"If you don't get on the boat, you may be counterattacked by the strange force in your body. If you get on the boat, you may become a pawn of the Yin Yang family."
"Neither of them ends well, so I haven't made up my mind yet."
Genie was silent.
He came to Gu Xun to make a definite choice, even one with unclear results.
After listening to Gu Xun's words, Who Chengxiang became even more unable to make a choice.
"Is the Imperial Master still undecided?" Gai Nie could only ask.
Gu Xun shook his head, "No, so I choose to let nature take its course and see my own destiny tomorrow."
Shock therapy yyds!
"I remind you that he should not go up to the mirage for a short period of time, not only to guard against the Yin Yang family members on the ship, but also to allow him to take advantage of this time to improve his strength."
"His martial arts skills are advancing rapidly. If he finally gets on the ship, he might be able to get rid of his identity as a chess piece by relying on his strength."
"As for a more secure plan...I don't have a clue yet."
After Gai Nie was silent for a while, he stood up and saluted Gu Xun, "Gai Nie has remembered all the words of the Imperial Master."
"Thank you so much, Imperial Master, for clarifying your doubts today. I won't bother you any more."
"Farewell!"
After saying goodbye, Ge Nie left the general's mansion neatly.
Gu Xundu made it clear that there was nothing he could do about it, so there was no point in him continuing to pester him. He might as well go back and do something.
After Gu Xun sent Gai Nie away, he looked at the mirage in the distance and smiled, and then left the general's mansion according to the original schedule.
Tianming's problem is not entirely something that Gu Xun can't do anything about, it's also because he doesn't want to take care of it.
This kid is now a truly top-notch expert, and he is also one of the best in the world. He must be allowed to decide his own life.
Worrying too much may not be a good thing, especially for someone like him who is destined to be a child of destiny.
………………
After returning to the Mo family's stronghold, Gai Nie thought for a while and then went to find Tianming.
"Huh! Uncle, do you have something to do with me?"
Tianming has been focusing most of his energy on martial arts training in recent days, and today was no exception. He only stopped when Gai Nie came to him, still breathing a little.
Gai Nie didn't waste any time and went straight to the point, "Do you still want to climb the mirage?"
Tianming responded without hesitation, patting his chest, "Of course!"
"The boss's relatives have not been rescued on the ship, and Shi Lan's brother is also in unknown condition, and there are more..."
At the end of the sentence, Tianming lowered his voice and whispered to Ganie with a smile, "Qiantaki is also on the boat, and I want to find her."
Gai Nie was silent for a moment and then said, "But it's very dangerous for you on the mirage."
Tian Ming waved his hand nonchalantly, "Where is it not dangerous? It seemed so safe in Guan City at the beginning, so it's not like it's gone."
"These things, no matter how dangerous they are, must be faced."
"I now have the strength and confidence to face it!"
At the end of the sentence, Tianming clenched his fists firmly.
After he finished speaking, his expression changed and returned to his usual aloofness. He asked with a smile, "Uncle, are you willing to let me on board?"
Gai Nie shook his head, "It's not possible now... maybe it can be done in the future."
"Tianming, work hard to become stronger first, and have the power to protect yourself and others."
"Of course I understand this!" Tianming agreed, patting his chest.
………………
A few days later.
Dongjun, somewhere in the mountains and forests of Daze Mountain.
Wearing a thick cloak and smock, Tian Yan once again dragged his fragile body and came to hide from the sun with his hollow sword.
Zhanri was obviously still very dissatisfied with Tian Yan in his heart. Seeing Tian Yan approaching, he didn't want to talk nonsense with her and directly threw out a letter in his hand.
Tian Yan didn't know martial arts, so naturally he couldn't accept this thin letter.
Fortunately, Tian Yan has indeed practiced the strange eye skill of 'observing words and colors', and his eyesight is far beyond that of ordinary people.
So she could see at a glance that the letter would not hurt her or fly far.
There was a muffled sound, and the letter, which was made purely of paper and ink, was inserted into a tree - the tree next to Tian Yan.
Tian Yan carefully but calmly pulled the letter off the tree pretending to be calm.
This move may seem inconspicuous, but it actually makes Tian Yan quite strenuous - using too much force will make Zhan Ri see that she has no martial arts skills at all, and may damage the letter. Insufficient force may result in the letter being unable to be taken off. Likewise,
