Chapter 42: Lifeless Finger
"My mother has no life, my hometown is empty!"
The ethereal sound echoed in her ears, and the jade hand gently touched her eyes. Duoercha suddenly felt like her soul was out of body and suddenly outside the world.
He knew something was wrong, and quickly changed his body shape, trying to avoid this finger, but the surrounding air suddenly became heavy, and the layers collapsed toward each other, as if there was a huge vortex hidden there, so he couldn't help it. "Surge" towards the vortex, as if to welcome the finger.
After Gu Xiaosang pointed it out, Meng Qi and others only saw Duoercha as if he had lost his soul. He gave up resistance and dodge, and took the initiative to greet him, like a wanderer who couldn't wait to return home.
"Is this sorcery..." Meng Qi looked at this strange scene in shock.
Brushing his fingers on Duo'er's eyebrows, Gu Xiaosang Baoxiang spoke solemnly, with a sound like a silver bell, clear and ethereal:
"My mother has no life, my hometown is empty!"
Something that made people's hair stand on end happened, Duoercha actually showed a peaceful and joyful smile, and followed in a low voice:
"My mother has no life, my hometown is empty!"
The body under his head suddenly expanded, and then contracted rapidly. The skin dried up, the muscles shrank, and streaks of blood condensed, gathered between the eyebrows, and poured into Gu Xiaosang's index and middle fingers.
Gu Xiaosang's jade-like face became more and more radiant, as if it could drip water.
"Old mother without life, home in a vacuum..." Doercha fell softly to the ground, reciting this mantra-like verse peacefully and happily, her voice getting lower and lower.
Gu Xiaosang withdrew his right hand and looked at Meng Qi and others. Compared with before, he was even more energetic and radiant, so beautiful that it made people feel ashamed.
"If something went wrong last time and the good deeds were wasted, why should I worry about doing it myself? But the good deeds of killing one person are still enough." Gu Xiaosang casually folded a branch and walked towards the entrance with a smile, "The general has been hit. It will take a while for Wu Sheng Zhi to return to his 'vacuum homeland'. Even though it is short-lived, it is still more than enough time to kill someone."
She looked at Meng Qi and others who were on guard, smiled and shook the branch: "Haha, it's fate. If something went wrong, how could I use that thing and be thrown to you as a newcomer? Who should be killed? What? I’m in a dilemma, why don’t you choose one of them, and after I kill them, we can go our separate ways, and we won’t be able to run into each other anyway.”
The index finger of her left hand rested on her chin, and her eyebrows were deeply furrowed. It seemed that this problem was too annoying. With such beautiful scenery, if there were any prostitutes here, they would probably come forward to relieve the beauty's worries.
Meng Qi and others had just opened up, their friendship had deepened, and their minds were clear, so they failed to fall for this plan of sowing discord. They each guarded the entrance with great vigilance, thoughts racing in their minds, thinking about countermeasures.
Gu Xiaosang's eyes flashed and he smiled sweetly: "Are you in trouble too? Then let me think about it carefully, well, killing ordinary disciples of the Huanhua Sword Sect is worthless. It soils my hands and wastes my time. Good deeds."
Qi Zhengyan's face was as dark as water. Although he knew that this was Gu Xiaosang's provocation, he still felt insulted and unwilling. Why could he not be as good as others?
She turned her eyes to Zhang Yuanshan's face and nodded slightly: "Among the secular disciples of the Zhenwu Sect, Zhang is one of the three pillars. If I kill you here and fake the Zhenwu Sect's methods, it will not be difficult to cause internal strife."
Zhang Yuanshan's eyes narrowed and he spoke calmly: "Witch, are our elders reckless and ignorant?"
"That's true." Gu Xiaosang actually nodded happily in agreement, "I don't know how to predict, so I didn't expect that this situation would happen this time, so I didn't exchange the secrets of the Zhenwu Sect. It's a bit difficult to frame the fault."
"And if I can't cause internal strife and simply kill you, I'm a little reluctant to do good deeds. Within the Zhenwu Sect, among this generation, Yang Tai, Yang He, and the Yao brothers are all more talented in martial arts than you, and their strength is far superior. As for you, it’s like you haven’t understood the true meaning of the Qi Accumulating Chapter of the "Zhenwu Qijie Jing" or "Tai Chi Magic Skills", but they are not as calm and capable as you and can win the favor of your elders. "
She had a smile as bright as a flower and said sarcastic words with hidden provocation.
Zhang Yuanshan suddenly smiled and said: "My martial arts talent is not as good as those of my peers. It is a natural thing. Why should I be discouraged? The way of heaven is balanced and hard work can make up for my weakness. Why should I despair?"
Since Gu Xiaosang wanted to sow discord and kill people with words, Zhang Yuanshan was happy to talk nonsense with her. As long as Duoercha died, everything would be fine.
Gu Xiaosang was startled for a moment, bit his lower lip with his teeth, and said with a half-smile: "Hearing what you said, I really want to kill you."
She "forced" herself to turn her head and looked at Jiang Zhiwei with a smile: "I heard rumors before that Miss Jiang is the most promising person among the younger generation. In the future, she will be a sword god like Senior Su, suppressing the nine leftist sects. This makes me feel itchy and I can’t wait to see him again and get rid of him quickly. Now it seems that I have this opportunity.”
Jiang Zhiwei showed no signs of anger or fear, and said calmly: "If you have this opportunity, you must first ask about the sword in my palm."
Gu Xiaosang looked at Jiang Zhiwei's calm attitude, as if she was possessed by Su Wuming, and frowned slightly: "Do you still have the strength to fight? Can you still use 'Sword Out of Self'? It doesn't make sense for you to be so seriously injured. , have you ever exchanged life-saving methods such as the method of disintegrating demons?"
She actually asked the doubts in her heart frankly.
"You'll know after you try it." Jiang Zhiwei smiled lightly. In addition to her bright face, her snow-white complexion made her even more charming.
Gu Xiaosang pondered for a moment, then looked at Meng Qi with a smile: "Master, actually you are the one I want to kill the most."
"Huh?" Meng Qi felt confused. He should be on the same level as Qi Zhengyan, or even inferior to him, at least for now.
Gu Xiaosang lowered his head slightly and his face turned red: "Because Xiao Zi seems to have a crush on you."
"What's the reason?" Meng Qi was happy to talk nonsense with her, trying to delay as much time as possible.
Gu Xiaosang raised his head and smiled like a fox: "This is the best reason. I will destroy everything she likes and wants."
**! Meng Qi only had this idea.
"So, 'Master', rest in peace, Amitabha." Gu Xiaosang threw away the branch and clasped his hands delicately.
Meng Qi took a deep breath, and the noise around him gradually faded away. Only Gu Xiaosang could be seen in his eyes, and everything inside was pure. Then he raised his sword and pointed it at that dark place.
With a smile on her face, Gu Xiaosang approached Meng Qi briskly, looking at Jiang Zhiwei and others as nothing.
Suddenly, she felt that all the sounds around her were removed. There was no more wind or rain, no more snakes and insects crawling around. It was peaceful, peaceful, clean and worry-free.
Her smile froze, and she saw Meng Qi raise his sword, the sword flashed, and an illusory cracking sound suddenly appeared.
The purity was broken, and the noise returned. The childish voice of "Mother, mother, mother" suddenly sounded in Gu Xiaosang's ears. In his mind, he couldn't help but recall all the past events, either sad or happy, and he couldn't calm down.
Her expression suddenly changed, and she took a few steps back to escape the knife attack.
When did this monk have such superb sword skills?
Seeing Gu Xiaosang retreating hastily, Meng Qi ignored the fact that his strength was exhausted and his legs were weak, he rushed directly to the machine and pulled it.
Zazazaza, before Gu Xiaosang came back to his senses, Meng Qi threw the sword and closed the entrance.
when! The sword hit the hidden bulge behind the nearby red boulder, while Meng Qi in the secret passage gritted his teeth and swung his right fist, destroying the mechanism inside.
"What are you doing?" Qi Zhengyan asked in shock.
"Destroy the mechanism, we can't get out, and she won't be able to come in!" Meng Qi sat down softly against the stone wall next to him, feeling his hands and feet trembling.
Jiang Zhiwei nodded: "As long as Duoercha dies, we can return directly and die here without any serious problems."
"This is a good idea." Zhang Yuanshan showed a smile.
Qi Zhengyan stood near the entrance with his sword in hand, always worried that the mechanism outside was not completely destroyed.
Jiang Zhi looked at Meng Qi with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have understood the meaning of the sword of 'cutting off the pure'."
She saw that Meng Qi was just bluffing, and used only part of his sword power to scare Gu Xiaosang away, buying precious time to close the entrance.
"The front of this move is not incomplete. As long as you understand it and prepare according to the changes in your mind, the sword intention will naturally flourish." Meng Qi probably recovered some of his physical strength.
Qi Zhengyan didn't know much about moves at this level and didn't ask any more questions. Zhang Yuanshan also didn't understand the true meaning when he "watched" the introductory part of "Zhenwu Qijie Jing" and "Tai Chi Magic Skills", so he could only follow the instructions of his predecessors. I copied the secret book practice based on my own experience, but I don’t quite understand the meaning of the sword.
Only Jiang Zhiwei glanced at Meng Qi with a half-smile, and when the other two were not paying attention, she quietly opened her mouth and gestured.
Meng Qi, who had worked closely with her, immediately understood what she meant:
"Discuss!"
…………
In front of the mountain wall, Gu Xiaosang stared blankly at the closed entrance, and suddenly raised a sly smile.
Then she turned around and walked out of the forest. When passing by Duoercha, she waved her sleeves and made him close his eyes forever.
…………
"I wonder who Gu Xiaosang is?" Meng Qi quickly changed the subject. He was also very curious about Gu Xiaosang's identity.
Zhang Yuanshan said solemnly: "Do you know the Nine Paths of Evil?"
"I know." Meng Qi heard Xuan Xin mention it.
Zhang Yuanshan nodded: "Gu Xiaosang is the saint of the 'Luo Sect' in the Nine Paths of Evil. This is a sect that mainly respects the 'Incarnate Mother' who was tyrannical in the mythical era. It confuses the world to return to the 'Vacuum Homeland'. According to According to the rumors spread by Luo Jiao, Gu Xiaosang is the reincarnation of the ‘Wu Sheng Old Mother’.”
"We know her because she made three attacks, surpassed the rank and killed the enemy, opened eight orifices, and was listed as fourth on the list, with a resounding name." Jiang Zhiwei also said.
"What is the human list? There seems to be a ground list and a heaven list?" Meng Qi always wanted to know this but never had the chance.
Zhang Yuanshan chuckled and said: "This is a list established by the imperial family of the Jin Dynasty. It arranges the seats for the world's masters, trying to arouse everyone's competitive spirit, kill each other, and weaken each other. Well, the original list is among the six gate headquarters of Shendu. middle."
"Although everyone knows Zhao's intentions, among those who walk in the world, some may not be promiscuous, some may not be good at wealth, some may not be good at power, drinking, or gambling, but in addition to being an expert and open-minded, Who doesn’t want to be famous? So everyone accepted the list, and there were a lot of disputes secretly.”
Jiang Zhiwei nodded and said: "The Heavenly Ranking is the ranking of Dharma-height people. Anyway, since the Heavenly Ranking was created, the most people there are only fourteen or five, and sometimes there are only seven or eight people. Currently, there are ten in total. Your abbot master Ranked third; the Earth Ranking is a list of famous masters other than land gods, only the top 200 are listed. They are basically the top figures of the Seventh Heaven and above. My master is currently number one on the Earth Ranking. "
Speaking of this, she was quite proud.
"The Human List is a list of young masters. Due to the stage of awakening, there are many things to overcome by overstepping the ranks, so even if you have opened the Nine Apertures, you may not be able to be ranked at the top. This list is currently only ranked 50th." Zhang Yuanshan added .
Meng Qi was about to ask Jiang Zhiwei if he was currently on the list, when lines of gray words suddenly appeared on the wall:
"General Duoercha is dead. Side mission two is completed. Gu Xiaosang will be rewarded with two hundred good deeds, Jiang Zhiwei will be rewarded with one hundred good deeds, and Zhang Yuanshan will be rewarded with fifty good deeds."
"Dorcha died, Shaolin fell, and the second main task was completed ahead of schedule. Each will be rewarded with 100 good deeds."
"Return immediately."
