Chapter 3 The father humiliated the son and made an oath with the sword
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Gu Yusheng's heart once again felt as if he had been pricked by a needle. In the past year, although he had stayed away from the bustling city, he still suffered from all kinds of gossip and stinging pains, which made Gu Yusheng's eyes bloodshot. He was
He gritted his teeth and subconsciously pulled out the wooden sword at his waist.
"Hahaha!"
"You want to kill me with a wooden sword?"
"Don't even pee and take a look at yourself!"
Seeing Gu Yusheng take out a wooden sword, Lu Chen laughed even more unscrupulously. The crowd around him was also slightly stunned, looking at Gu Yusheng's expression as if he was a fool. In this world where the jungle prevails, no one will sympathize with the weak.
Gu Yusheng also understood this.
He took a step forward, and in the eyes of countless people who laughed at him, he stabbed the wooden sword in his hand hard into his thigh.
puff!
Blood blooms like plum blossoms.
Gu Yusheng slowly pulled out the wooden sword, stained his fingers with blood, and drew three marks on his face. In front of everyone in the world, he pointed the sword between Lu Chen's eyebrows and said, "Lu Chen, there is no grudge between you and me."
, we were playmates in the past, but today you insulted my father twice before. I don’t understand the big truth, but I understand the shame of humiliating a father and a son. Today I swear by my blood. Three years later, you and I will wear a crown and receive a gift.
Today, I will kill you with this sword to avenge today’s humiliation!”
Gu Yusheng's voice was not loud, but it was very impactful!
As he finished speaking, the three blood marks on his slightly immature face actually condensed into a blood bead, and before anyone could react, it suddenly rushed into Lu Chen's body.
"Gu Yusheng, what have you done!"
Lu Chen was frightened by Gu Yusheng's blood-stained wooden sword and took a step back. Another blood bead penetrated his body. For a moment, he felt a little frightened and at a loss.
"No, young master, I swear by blood, how could this kid trigger the oath of heaven!"
Next to Lu Chen, an old man who looked like a housekeeper suddenly became sharp-eyed. He stared at Gu Yusheng. A flash of murderous intent flashed through him. The hand hidden in his sleeve turned into a palm and he was about to take action.
"Wait a minute!"
Qingyunmen greeted Qi Ming and took a step forward.
"No fighting is allowed here!"
The reason why he said this was not for the sake of 'justice', nor to protect Gu Yusheng. Qi Ming turned around and glanced at Mr. Mo who was reading a book on the Qingyun Ladder, and saw that the book in his hand was emitting a holy light.
Qi Ming started to stop and said: "Steward Lu, it was this boy's words that triggered the Holy Academy's ritual book in Mo Daru's hand to form the oath of heaven. You must not do anything, otherwise the oath of cause and effect will come back to your young master."
"What!"
Butler Lu, who was about to take action, couldn't help but his eyelids twitched when he heard the Holy Court's etiquette. He put down his sleeves unwillingly and stared at Gu Yusheng, but he then sneered.
"The oath of heaven? So what? This ten thousand-foot blue cloud ladder will keep you from the door. In three years, you will only be trampled to death by my young master like an ant!"
"Yes, I will trample you to death!"
Lu Chen screamed and roared at Gu Yusheng. He was indeed frightened by Gu Yusheng's desperate posture and his expression was fierce but he couldn't help but feel proud again when he thought that he was already a disciple of the Qingyun Sect and Gu Yusheng had to climb the Qingyun Ladder.
Gu Yusheng ignored Lu Chen.
He was shocked, and he understood that the so-called vows were by no means empty words, but a road to walk, a road full of thorns.
He hung the bloody wooden sword on his waist again.
The blood on his right leg dripped from his trousers and onto his shoes as he walked in the crowd step by step.
This moment.
Everyone is making way for him.
The jeers also fell silent.
Although most people still feel that Gu Yusheng is as insignificant as dust in their hearts, the words "the father humiliates the son and the son is ashamed" resonate a little in many people's hearts.
Come to the human world.
There are always some family ties that are difficult to let go of.
The crow has the meaning of feeding back, and the sheep has the kindness of kneeling to breastfeed!
Many people stared at Gu Yusheng's thin figure and saw a line of bloody foot marks left on the moss-covered ground, extending to the bottom of the Qingyun Staircase.
"Can he climb the Qingyun Ladder?"
Someone in the crowd asked.
A middle-aged Confucian scholar holding a fan said: "Although I hope he can enter Qingyun to make things more interesting, I bet that he can't walk three steps, because the Qingyun Staircase was once composed of thousands of Qingyun Sects.
It was condensed with the blood of disciples, and the blood of countless monsters died in Qingping Mountain. The heroic souls and monsters formed the most mysterious Qingyun Ladder. This is a road of heart training. Without strong will and perseverance, every step forward will be difficult.
Every step is like a ton of weight. His ancestors killed demons and their ambitions were as heavy as the mountain. His father Gu Bai did not dare to draw his sword in the face of demonic beasts until he died. He was only twelve years old and could never pass this level.
"
Gu Yusheng ignored the people around him.
The pain in his leg made him feel calmer than ever before.
He steps forward, stepping on the Qingyun Ladder, the first step on the path of spiritual practice!
A faint coercion appeared, and Gu Yusheng seemed to feel like there was a mountain hanging above his head, slowly pressing towards him.
He raised his head.
The Qingyun Staircase towers into the clouds without reaching its end, as if it leads directly to the sky.
"It didn't bounce back?"
The middle-aged Confucian scholar was a little surprised.
Because the Qingyun Stairway is the test road to enter the Qingyun Sect, the first ladder is not high and can be climbed by just raising your feet. However, even so, there are still countless people who cannot even take the first step.
"ah!"
Seeing Gu Yusheng walking up the Qingyun Staircase, many people stepped forward. However, as soon as they raised their feet, many people were ejected by an invisible force and fell directly to the ground, as if they were carrying a heavy weight.
Fortunately, Qi Ming, the leader of Qingyun Sect, raised his hand and prevented these people from getting hurt. However, they were still lying on the ground in a very embarrassed state, like a frog in a well!
Gu Yusheng lifted his bloody feet and took the second step.
The invisible end is like a well. He is a stubborn frog at the bottom, moving forward step by step.
Gu Yusheng's shoulders suddenly sank.
He obviously couldn't see anything, but he felt a stone pressing on his body, a heavy and cold stone.
In a daze, he seemed to see masses of blood mist condensing on the Qingyun Staircase in front of him, turning into monster beasts with teeth and claws, and rushed toward his door.
Deep in his heart, a strange voice appeared: Your father is a coward, a coward who only runs away when faced with monsters.
"No!"
Gu Yusheng roared.
One step forward.
The ridicule in my mind suddenly dissipated.
But the monsters formed by the blood mist became increasingly clear. Gu Yusheng could even see their sharp claws and dripping fangs!
"I'm not afraid!"
Gu Yusheng's heart was extremely determined.
He took another step, and his body seemed to be scratched by sharp claws.
Tearing, pain!
So true.
Gu Yusheng gritted his teeth and slowly raised one foot.
"He actually took two steps!"
Behind, the middle-aged man holding a fan showed a look of surprise. At this moment, from his perspective, Gu Yusheng was already dozens of feet above the ground!
Qingyun Staircase actually does not have that many steps.
But all sentient beings have no clear eyes, and what they see may not be true.
"But that's it."
The middle-aged man waved his fan, looking like he could see through people's affairs and understand people's hearts.
"Fall down, fall down!"
Someone was shouting that their family disciple fell down on the first step. This mud-legged man actually took two steps. I couldn't bear it!
When the third step landed, Gu Yusheng felt a stronger aura coming towards his face than before. This time, there were not only the faces of those strange monsters, but also all of them with frightened faces, constantly being chased by the monsters.
A figure running away.
Run quickly.
Run quickly.
There were sounds that kept echoing.
Trying to pull Gu Yusheng back.
Gu Yusheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said calmly: "Everyone in the world can look back, but Gu Yusheng can't!"
Bang!
Gu Yusheng took the third step, his eyes were clear and his expression was firm.
The heavy feeling on his body disappeared strangely.
"Huh?"
A voice of surprise sounded slightly.
But it was not the middle-aged man who suddenly stopped waving his fan, but Mr. Mo who was strolling on the Qingyun Staircase. His eyes still did not move away from the book, but he glanced at Gu Yusheng with his peripheral vision.
"It's a long road to study. Is it because I'm walking slowly? If I keep going like this, I'll be slapped and stained by the waves behind me."
The old man continued to move forward.
In Gu Yusheng's eyes, there was no Mr. Mo, only the Qingyun Ladder step by step.
Taking advantage of the heaviness on his shoulders disappearing, he walked forward quickly.
Walked a few more steps.
Suddenly, Gu Yusheng felt that the mountains were destroying the city. The countless monsters that appeared before disappeared and were replaced by a big monster. The monster's eyes were like lanterns. It spread its wings, stretched hundreds of feet, chirped and soared into the sky.
Wherever you pass, thousands of mortals are like ants, fleeing in all directions!
But Gu Yusheng only felt that he was walking forward alone.
Ridiculous mortals dare to kill monsters!
The great demon's voice was like thunder, deafening.
Countless people were running away, and even the practitioners who were carrying swords showed fear on their faces and ran for their lives.
Run away.
Weak insect!
No one dared to ask for help.
No one dares to draw the sword!
At this moment, a thought flashed in Gu Yusheng's mind: Maybe his father is not ashamed!
Such a powerful demon.
The ants are still living in vain.
Gu Yusheng's body suddenly shook violently.
"wrong!"
Gu Yusheng woke up suddenly.
In his mind, the scene of his father carrying his sword out of Qingyun flashed unconsciously, and the look in his eyes was so determined!
"I shouldn't have doubted my father!"
"He carried his sword and went out to kill the monster, and he had no regrets even though he died!"
Gu Yusheng's confused eyes became clear again.
"My father once took me through this road, and at that time, I was on his shoulders!"
Gu Yusheng could vaguely feel the happy time when the breeze was blowing on his shoulders.
Now.
The road is at your own feet.
"I have to walk on my own. If my father is in heaven, he must be watching me!"
Gu Yusheng's shaking body became calm.
The terror of destroying mountains and seas still existed, and Gu Yusheng still felt insignificant.
That big demon was hovering in his mind like an inner demon.
Gu Yusheng subconsciously held the sword at his waist.
"This is a sword of protection. When you grow up, you will naturally understand it."
Gu Bai's words echoed in Gu Yusheng's mind again.
He held the sword in his hand tightly, and a smile appeared on his face.
In his memory, Gu Yusheng only remembered that his father was mostly studying, but he carried a sword on his back all day long. He might not be able to draw a sword and slay monsters at all.
But he still had no hesitation.
Who is he protecting?
Human race?
It's not that high of a principle.
"Father, I understand, I know who you are protecting."
