In the deep forest there is only the sound of falling snowflakes, rustling.
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
Gu Yusheng could not recall what happened during the day, because the bodies of the Fifth Senior Brother and the Sixth Sixth Senior Brother in front of him fell into a strange deep sleep.
at this time.
Gu Yusheng's mood was complicated.
He originally thought that entering the Holy Academy and getting the name of Mr. Fifteen were just rules and fame sought after by the world.
Unexpectedly.
In their hearts, they regarded him as someone who could be entrusted with their lives.
today.
The two faced the Three Saints, One Hundred Emperors and Ten Thousand Monsters, and fought back the millions of monsters.
For the sake of the human race, I am running around in a hurry.
Otherwise.
They never showed their achievements to the world.
But guard it silently.
Now.
Fifth Senior Brother and Sixth Senior Sister turned into stone statues and fell asleep.
It's his turn to protect.
Gu Yusheng took a deep breath and looked up at the sky.
It's dark.
There are no stars, no night sky.
I can't see my fingers.
But Gu Yusheng's thoughts have never been as complicated as they are now.
Yes.
In this boundless night.
He wanted to protect the lives of Fifth Senior Brother and Sixth Senior Sister.
Although he didn't even have the strength to climb out of the snowdrift, this feeling of being needed and valued made Gu Yusheng feel that in this cold winter, spring was actually on its way.
Sword bearer.
this ancient profession.
Gu Yusheng had new insights.
What he was carrying was not the lives of two people.
It is the fate of the entire human race.
This world is in tatters, and there are always people who can mend it.
There is no doubt about it.
Mr. Five is, so is Mr. Six.
They are not just the Master's students and are respected by the world, but they become the Master's students for the sake of the livelihood of the people in the world.
Gu Yusheng raised his head and took a sip of wine into his throat.
Another mouthful of wine went down his throat.
He was really exhausted.
His body was as sleepy as ever before. That year when he was in Taohuawu outside Qingyun Town, he carried the Buddha into the Eighteen Mountains, returned overnight, transformed himself into a Buddha, and gained the Buddha's heart through meditation.
Today, Mr. Five and Mr. Six are thousands or tens of thousands of times heavier than the gods themselves.
Because what these two people support is the fate of the human race.
Hiss, hiss.
In the quiet night, Gu Yusheng felt something approaching, like snakes, scurrying under the ice. Perhaps, they smelled the demon blood that can make them powerful.
After a few sips of wine.
Gu Yusheng regained some strength and could move his fingers.
But he still couldn't pull out the sword, and his spiritual consciousness, which had long been exhausted, couldn't even take out a pill from the spiritual gourd.
A series of green eyes appeared in front of Gu Yusheng, only a few feet away.
Those are just some pythons that are less than the first level.
But at this time, even such a humble python was enough to threaten Gu Yusheng.
Gu Yusheng was not afraid of being bitten by a python, nor was he afraid of being swallowed. After all, he had taken the poison-avoiding pill and was not afraid of the venom of the python.
But.
As those pythons gradually approached, their target was not him, but the solidified stone and golem statues of Mr. Fifth and Mr. Six.
The pythons raised their heads high and opened their mouths, spitting out tiny silver snakes. Gu Yusheng did not recognize the species of this snake, but his intuition told him that these silver snakes must be
The origin is not simple.
Bah, bah.
The silver snake began to wrap around the stone statues and demon statues, circle after circle.
The ground rumbled.
Gu Yusheng felt that the bodies of Mr. Five and Mr. Six were sinking into the ground.
What's going on?
Gu Yusheng was anxious.
Many thoughts of rescuing him suddenly turned around.
But now he can only move his ten fingers, and his soul and spiritual power are completely exhausted.
Unable to draw sword.
Nor can he perform any magical powers.
However, the snake-wrapped stone statue formed two ancient patterns on the ground. In a daze, Gu Yusheng saw that the dark world was like a mirror, projecting another looming plane.
No!
Absolutely not!
Gu Yusheng gritted his teeth.
My thoughts changed rapidly.
Pray silently:
"If there really is heaven in this world, all I want is a sword."
The night fades into silence.
There is no answer from heaven.
Gu Yusheng was trapped in the snow.
He bit the tip of his tongue tightly, but he didn't have the strength to even bite his tongue to bleed.
What's more, since his body was exhausted, he was already immune to pain.
"Please."
At this moment.
Deep in Gu Yusheng's heart.
A seductive voice appeared.
"I will give you strength."
"There is no heaven in this world."
"Ask me, I am you, I can give you endless power."
The demonic voice in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.
"reject!"
Gu Yusheng's heart was extremely determined.
"You are not me."
"I am who I am."
Gu Yusheng thought silently in his heart. Suddenly, he felt as if his soul was blessed and his spirit was shaken:
Heaven will not respond.
It’s better to ask for yourself!
The sword is always there!
Gu Yusheng lives by obsession.
An invisible sword burst out from his fingertips, killing all the snakes around him in an instant, spreading blood on the snow.
Zheng!
Gu Yusheng's body suddenly burst into bright sword light in the dark night.
All the ten thousand swords hidden in the spiritual gourd responded and surrendered one after another.
At this moment, Gu Yusheng's body sword box can accommodate endless swords.
The energy of ten thousand swords blessed his body, making his dry body become fuller little by little. It was an extremely domineering and stern Gengjin sword energy.
If in normal times.
With so much Gengjin sword energy entering his body, no matter how strong Gu Yusheng's physical body was, it would be instantly annihilated and turn into a ball of blood mist.
But precisely because there was no spiritual power in his body, his meridians and Dantian were empty.
Only then can Gengjin Sword Qi be filled with energy.
The picture of the sword on the back records the supreme Taoist secret technique of hiding swords in a mud palace.
Although Gu Yusheng had some enlightenment in the past, it was difficult for him to refine his sword and turn it into a pill.
now.
His body broke the shackles of imprisonment, broke and then stood up.
Coupled with the coincidence, the swords of the Spiritual Gourd, numbering in the tens of thousands, were accommodated together and condensed into a sword pill in the Dantian.
The sword pill can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
In an instant, the spiritual energy from heaven and earth swarmed into his body, gradually replenishing Gu Yusheng's dry meridians.
There is spiritual energy entering the body.
Gu Yusheng's body gradually regained consciousness.
The pain all over my body gradually emerged.
but.
Gu Yusheng was worried that if the sword pill was in his Dantian, it would backfire on him. With a thought, he used the human soul to control the sword pill and incorporated it into the human sword.
If in normal times.
Gu Yusheng will definitely use this powerful sword pill to refine and cast the second Earth Soul Sword.
But now he doesn't allow himself to make any mistakes.
The sword pill can only be integrated into the human sword that has been refined.
When sword pills enter the world of swords.
The sword box creaked.
The runes above become brighter.
Between heaven and earth, it seemed as if a spring breeze was blowing, and all the surrounding frost and snow melted away.
The thick snow beneath Gu Yusheng's knees also melted away.
He climbed up from the ground with difficulty, only to find that his feet had been injured due to falling from a high altitude.
At this time.
Gu Yusheng felt the human sword in the sword case behind him calling to him.
He had a thought in his mind.
The human sword came out of the box and fell into his hand.
At this time, the human sword had already changed its appearance. It was like a sword of blue wood, its whole body was green, and the sword's light shone like it had endless vitality.
The sword has a heart.
Beating like his heart.
After counting the interest.
Gu Yusheng was surprised to find that the injuries on his feet had healed.
The green light reflected the two stone statues in front of them.
Gu Yusheng took a deep breath and chopped off the sword in his hand.
Two rays of sword light brushed past the stone statue and the demonic figure.
Gu Yusheng looked expectant.
Click.
Click.
The surfaces of the stone statues and demonic figures gradually cracked.
The sword with his real name guarding Yun Zhongjian circled around Gu Yusheng, as if to express his gratitude.
Gu Yusheng hid the sword in the box.
The auras of Fifth Senior Brother and Sixth Senior Sister were getting stronger and stronger, and the sound of their heartbeats was so reassuring at night.
Gu Yusheng stood there, motionless.
After a while.
Yunzhongjian and Chu Lige both opened their eyes at the same time.
The two of them looked at their hands blankly, and at the same time looked at Gu Yusheng in tacit understanding.
"Fifth senior brother."
"Sixth Senior Sister."
Gu Yusheng clasped his fists, his eyes full of joy.
When he saw Yun Zhongjian and Chu Lige sitting cross-legged, he hurriedly ran forward, helped Yun Zhongjian up, and then stretched out his hand to help Chu Lige up as well.
"Little junior brother."
Chu Lige's hand tightly grasped Gu Yusheng's wrist.
"This shouldn't be Jiuyou Huangquan, right?"
It turns out that Sixth Senior Sister is a timid person.
Gu Yusheng's mind moved, and he took out a candle. Chu Lige blew a breath into the candle, and the candle lit. The weak light illuminated Gu Yusheng's face, and also illuminated Chu Lige's face.
Yun Zhongjian on the side silently held his natal sword in his hand, stood with the sword in his hand, and remained silent for a long time.
"Sixth Senior Sister."
Gu Yusheng looked down at his pinched wrist.
Chu Lige smiled and let go. Her eyes fell on the several snakes on the ground. She then looked at the mysterious formation that was dissipating. She glanced slightly sideways and exchanged a look with Yunzhongjian.
"Junior brother, there is a courtyard outside the forest to the east. We will rest for the night and start again tomorrow morning."
After Chu Lige finished speaking, he held a candle in one hand and half held the piano in the other, looking at Gu Yusheng.
Yunzhongjian uses the sword as a staff and meanders forward.
"Sixth Senior Sister, let me help you get the piano."
Gu Yusheng put the piano on his back.
Seeing that Chu Lige was still unable to move forward, he handed over a hand.
"Sixth Senior Sister, let me lend you an arm."
Chu Lige put his hand on Gu Yusheng's arm, and the two supported him while walking in the forest.
The mountain forest is very broad.
The three of them walked for a long time.
When we got outside the mountain, we found an old courtyard that was deserted.
Yunzhongjian pushed open the door and entered first, lighting a candle to illuminate the courtyard.
Outside the door, Chu Lige stopped, extinguished the candle in his hand with his fingers, looked sideways at Gu Yusheng, his eyes were like stars, and said: "When I woke up, I was already a human body, my junior brother had broad shoulders and carried a piano and a case.
, won’t you carry me for a ride?”
When Gu Yusheng heard this, he subconsciously touched his nose and said honestly: "Sixth Senior Sister, that year at Qingping Mountain, I carried Miss Mo on my back."
Chu Lige was speechless for a moment. After a moment, he chuckled and said, "So that's it. Junior brother, you have a really weird temper."
Chu Lige let go of Gu Yusheng's arm. She seemed to have been walking lightly for a long time. After being admitted to the hospital, she walked to a persimmon tree and shook it gently with her hand. The frost-edged persimmons hung down from the tree and landed on her hand.
Go up and throw the best persimmon cake to Gu Yusheng.
"Little junior brother, try it."
"My persimmon cake."
Gu Yusheng held the frozen persimmon cake in his hand and looked at the courtyard covered with fallen leaves and the roof covered with frost and snow, and was speechless for a moment.
"Time is such a ruthless knife."
Chu Lige walked to a wooden pillar supporting the eaves, touched the blurred height mark with his hand, was stunned for a moment, looked back at Gu Yusheng and said:
"Junior brother, come inside and sit down."
"I'll make you tea."
Chu Lige rushed to the side room, took out an earthen pot and teapot from it, walked to the well in the corner, turned the wooden handle with his hand, the wheel squeaked and turned, and the hemp rope eroded by the years tied the moss-covered barrel down the well.
.
The wheel squeaks and turns.
Round and round.
The wooden barrel filled with water has water flowing through the cracks at the bottom of the barrel. As it turns, it is like the passage of years and the dissipation of time.
Cha.
The hemp rope suddenly broke.
Inoue's wheelbarrow creaked.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Chu Lige reached out to grab the old rope that tied the bucket, and carefully pulled it up little by little.
It seems that the end of the rope is not a bucket of water.
Instead, it embodies the dusty memories and beauty of her life.
At this moment, her eyes flashed and she pursed her lips.
Where is the world-famous Mr. Six of Shengyuan?
Gu Yusheng ran to the well and twisted the rope with the edge of the well mouth with his hands to prevent the rope from fraying.
The bucket of water was just full.
When it was pumped up, only a little bit at the bottom of the bucket was leaking.
Even so.
Chu Lige smiled happily.
She held the bottom of the bucket.
Gu Yusheng picked up the earthen tea can.
The water in the wooden bucket is empty.
Just enough to fill an earthen pot, no more and no less.
Chu Lige grinned.
She gently wiped her hands on the waist of Nishang, and then entered the house holding the earthen tea pot.
Gu Yusheng stood by the well.
Also silly and happy.
His heart was floating in the distant Qingping Mountain, the peach blossom forest.
