Sword of Coming

In the night.

The three old men traveled together in the wind to Gongliu Island.

After a big battle, Liu Laocheng calmed down.

This is the background of monks in the upper five realms.

What's more, Liu Laocheng didn't even use a real killing move.

Once the golden body Dharma Appearance reveals its recently refined semi-glazed true body, that will be the moment to kill everyone.

Gao Mian asked strangely: "Why don't you kill that young man? Cutting the grass without eradicating the root is not your old style."

Liu Laocheng said helplessly: "You have such a loud voice, you deliberately said it to me, but I'm not deaf."

Xun Yuan smiled but said nothing.

Liu Laocheng led the two of them to the gate of Gongliu Island Mountain, and the three of them moved forward slowly.

Liu Laocheng said: "Since the piece of glazed golden body that gave me the opportunity to advance to the twelfth realm has some connection, I have to cherish this relationship. Furthermore, a young man who can survive from Du Mao's hands, I and him Anyway, there is no direct conflict, so let’s keep a line as a human being. Killing to establish prestige, hurting others can also establish prestige, that’s about it. Besides, that kid is more sensible and made a deal with me.”

Gao Mian laughed and said, "Which one is more, love or fear?"

Liu Laocheng's face darkened.

Xun Yuan suddenly said: "If that young man didn't hold his fists at that time, Lao Liu would definitely regret it on the spot and kill him."

Liu Laocheng hummed, "I still have some good eyesight, and I won't feed a tiger into trouble. You can tell whether that guy is sincere or not."

Xun Yuan suddenly laughed and said, "Believe it or not, even in Shujian Lake, Chen Pingan can live longer than that Gu Can."

Gao Mian shook his head and said disapprovingly: "Not necessarily. It's one thing for me to recognize this person's character. It's another thing for him to be involved in the world."

Liu Laocheng nodded and said: "That's true. A biting dog doesn't show its teeth. There is a very important reason why we didn't kill him."

Liu Laocheng looked around, "In a smoky place like Shujian Lake, the more so-called smart people there are, if there is someone who is willing to follow the rules stupidly and is capable enough, at least I, Liu Laocheng, can safely do big business with him." .”

Gao Mian ignored the heartfelt words of Liu Laocheng, a wild cultivator from Shanze. He only listened to one sentence and said angrily: "You damn thing, you even flatter Mr. Xun? Do you have any potential? Why have you never done this? Don’t you want to flatter me?”

Xun Yuan looked helpless.

Liu Laocheng squinted and said: "I have seen the miserable situation of you beating people's shit, how dare you flatter you? I'm afraid that after the shooting, I will be pissed on my hands."

Xun Yuan's eyes lit up, "There are still such past events? Tell me?"

Liu Laocheng was a little embarrassed, "If a good man doesn't talk about his bravery, what can we talk about?"

Gao Mian laughed and said: "In his early years, he met the only martial arts master in Aquarius Continent, who was the head of the Cui family. He rolled up his sleeves and started fighting when he disagreed. After he was beaten and knocked down, He was convinced. After that, he gave himself the nickname of Wu Shi Realm. But that martial artist later disappeared. I heard that he seemed to have gone to the Middle Earth Divine Continent. I guess what would happen to this Wu Shi Realm Almost like that, over there, one mountain is higher than the other, and you don’t know life or death.”

Xun Yuan said: "Pure martial artists, everyone who can reach the nine realms and touch the threshold of the ten realms has great perseverance. On our side of Tongye Continent, the martial arts in one continent are not very good, but we still can't do it. It’s not as good as your Aquarius Island, which is as small as yours, isn’t it strange?”

Gao Mian was a straight child, "It's so strange that the warriors in Tongye Continent are useless. How many ten realms are there now? Are there two? Do you know how many we have in Aquarius Continent now? If we add me The one I admire the most, including Li Er who went to demolish the Tongye Sect’s ancestral hall, and Song Changjing, the king of the Great Li clan, there are three!”

Liu Laocheng seemed to have some realization.

Xun Yuan smiled.

So he would become friends with the leader of the Invincible Divine Fist Gang.

He will only become allies with the smarter Liu Laocheng.

The war ended.

Chen Pingan carried Gu Can on his back and slowly went down the mountain.

The real body talisman of the Day and Night Traveling God has been put into the sleeve, and the little divine light in the talisman's bladder has been almost exhausted. I'm afraid that next time I "ask the god to come down the mountain", I won't need a stick of incense, and there will be no need to fight with others. It will dissipate on its own. .

Gu Can's face was covered in blood, his face was miserable, and he was seriously injured.

But finally survived.

The dying dragon swung its tail slightly and went further, eventually sinking to the bottom of Shujian Lake somewhere.

Over there, it has secretly excavated a rough prototype of a "Dragon Palace" over the years.

Liu Laocheng showed his majesty on Qingxia Island. With his invincible appearance as a monk in the above five realms, he severely wounded Gu Can and the dragon's kin to the point of death.

As the new monarch of the world, Liu Zhimao, the owner of Qingxia Island, did not show up from beginning to end.

Instead, it was the accountant who stopped Liu Laocheng.

Finally, Liu Laocheng, who once had a famous saying that spread throughout Shujian Lake, and the owner of Gongliu Island who personally said, "Kill until your heart softens, you will not be merciful", actually showed mercy?

For a time, the tens of thousands of wild cultivators in the entire Shujian Lake felt that it was smoke and mirrors, and the more they looked at it, the more confused they became.

On the mountain road, as the little loach entered its nest and began to enter a dormant state, Gu Can's injury improved slightly.

He hugged Chen Pingan's neck and whispered: "Chen Pingan, are you taking the little loach back? Tan Xue is actually quite afraid of you. After all, you are the real owner of the little loach. If I follow you, I I'm not worried that she will be wronged. If it were someone else, if I couldn't protect her, I would wish Tanxue had died, but if you take it away, I can accept it, and I will definitely not regret it in the future. You know my temper, Saying one is one, saying two is two.”

"You can keep it. Tanxue is with you now, so I can do my own thing with peace of mind."

"Why exactly? Aren't you afraid that Tanxue will follow me? Are you just doing it to help the tiger?"

"I used to get an immortal magic weapon in Tongyezhou. It's a sword called Chixin, which can also be called eating heart. It eats the heart and liver of people. If you poke it into the heart, you can improve your rank. I started I was particularly disgusted. Not to mention fighting with people with it, I felt disgusted just by looking at it. Later, I finally figured it out. Things are dead, people are alive, and only a gentleman can control all things without weapons. Forget it, these principles, You don’t want to hear it either, I just won’t say it.”

"Tell me, I don't know why. I used to feel upset. Now when I hear you nagging these things, I don't really listen. It still goes in one ear and comes out the other, but it's quite pleasant to listen to. Chen Ping'an, don't you think it's strange? Strange?"

Chen Pingan changed the subject, "This is the second time."

Gu Can snorted, "I know it well. I didn't leave Qingxia Island once, but you saved me this time. If you do it again, you will ignore me and just treat me as a stranger."

Chen Pingan said calmly: "I still know a little bit about what is good and what is good, and I have a bit of conscience."

Gu Can smiled and said: "Ha. Not much, just to my mother and you, the two of us. I don't have much impression of my damn old man, and I really can't get close to him. As for when the family is reunited, we will be with him. I don’t want to think about whether things will change after we meet each other.”

Chen Pingan's voice became hoarse, "Take your time."

"Chen Pingan, I still want to know, why did you save me this time? In fact, I know that you have always been disappointed with me. I know that, so I often take Little Loach to the door of the house, even if there is nothing I have to sit there for a while if I don’t have anything to do.”

"Stop talking."

"It won't die in a while. The little loach is already lying in its nest under the water. I already feel better. Chen Ping'an, tell me. I still want to hear... listen to your reasoning."

Chen Pingan's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he forced to swallow the mouthful of blood. As long as Gu Can was willing to listen to him, he was willing to tell Gu Can. Chen Pingan, whose face was already whiter than Gu Can, his chest rose and fell sharply, and he vomited softly. After a few times, it became slightly stable, and he said hoarsely: "I have done cutting and demarcation with you. This is a term derived from playing chess, and it can also be used to practice swordsmanship. To put it simply, the former is like when I moved out of the Spring Court House. , go and live in the house at the gate of the mountain. The latter means that I have been watching you. As long as you don’t step out of the circle where I think you have done nothing wrong, I will help you. I will still be the neighbor you first met in Mud Bottle Lane. .”

"Then what if I still kill innocent people indiscriminately after you arrive at Qingxia Island? Will you leave? Or beat me to death?"

"I will try my best to stop you so that you don't make a mistake, just like I stopped Liu Laocheng from killing you today. And I will not leave Shujian Lake. There are still many things waiting for me to do, both for you and myself. .”

"Aren't you tired from living like this?"

"Back in Mud Bottle Alley, you lived a hard life every day that seemed like you would never get through it. Aren't you tired? It was tiring, but you forgot."

"But isn't it the purpose of life to live happily and joyfully?"

"About this question that goes back to the original point, of course I can give you the answer, but you may not be able to hear it, so I won't say it. So I hope that in the future you can go out of Shujian Lake and see the bigger lake with your own eyes. Jianghu. By the way, I have accepted the first disciple of Kaishan, a little girl named Pei Qian. In the future, if you leave Shujian Lake and go to Jianghu, or if I am not around when you return to Longquan County, you can find her. I think you two If they are two, they will be more compatible with each other, um, they may also dislike each other."

Gu Can was a little happy.

Because this is the first time that Chen Pingan has talked to himself about the future events that are "tied" to him, Chen Pingan.

Gu Can said drowsily: "Chen Ping'an, I'm a little sleepy."

Chen Ping'an said softly: "Then get some sleep. You don't have to worry about what happens next. I'm here."

Gu Can tried her best not to fall asleep and sobbed softly: "Chen Pingan, I'm afraid that as soon as I open my eyes, you will secretly leave Qingxia Island."

Chen Pingan said: "No."

Gu Can's voice gradually became softer, "Are you really not lying to me?"

Chen Pingan asked back: "When did I lie to you?"

Gu Can nodded gently and went to sleep peacefully.

Gu Can has fallen asleep.

That's why he didn't notice that Chen Ping'an couldn't wipe his face, and blood kept dripping on Gu Can's arm.

————

Inside the Spring Court House.

Gu Can was lying on the bed.

The woman sat on the edge of the bed, heartbroken.

Tian Hujun brought precious elixirs secretly stored in Qingxia Island.

But when she saw the accountant standing beside the bed, her heart trembled a little and her hands trembled.

Chen Pingan glanced at the medicine bottle in her hand and said hoarsely, "No problem?"

Tian Hujun nodded vigorously, "I guarantee it with my life!"

Chen Ping'an said: "When I go back, tell Liu Zhimao that I will look for him in the near future."

Mr. Tianhu had no choice but to agree.

After taking the pill for Gu Can who was in a coma, Tian Hujun fled.

The woman was in a panic and just murmured repeatedly, "How could this happen? How could this happen..."

Chen Pingan's movements trembled slightly, he moved a chair to sit next to him, and asked: "Why isn't this happening?"

The woman raised her head, with tears in her eyes, and looked at the young man with a much thinner face. At this moment, she suddenly felt so strange.

Chen Pingan asked again, "Do you still want to ask me, did you deliberately watch Gu Can get seriously injured?"

The woman's eyes wandered.

Chen Pingan asked himself and answered: "That's not the case. There is only so much I can do at the moment."

The woman sighed, her eyebrows lowered, her face stained with tears, and she nodded, "I believe you, Chen Pingan."

this moment.

Chen Pingan was a little sad.

It has something to do with Gu Can and her aunt, but not much.

That night at the ferry, he had actually figured out one of the crux of the knot.

It is not difficult for him, Chen Pingan, to prove this.

You only need to show one or two details in front of Gu Can without revealing any trace, such as paying more attention to a certain external object than Gu Can.

Gu Can's true heart, and the part of his heart related to Chen Pingan, will also be abandoned and soon become overgrown with weeds. In the end, Gu Can may turn against Chen Pingan because of his prone to extremes.

Chen Ping'an didn't want to verify or test people's hearts.

Now that we know the answer, what can we do?

Putting everything aside and talking only about grievances and gains and losses, it was not because he was afraid that Gu Can would think of him and change from a relative to an enemy.

When Chen Ping'an felt at ease, he was not afraid of the strength of any enemy's fists. The same was true for Cai Jinjian and Fu Nanhua in the alley, to the mountain-moving ape, and all the enemies on the road after that.

Chen Ping'an doesn't want to lose the little slug he once was, and then lose Shujianhu Gu Can, whose original intention was for his mother and who has come this far.

He didn't even want Gu Can to be as sad as himself.

As for worldly affairs and human relationships, does it mean that the more deeply a person thinks about it, the less likely he is to have anything to say to others?

Chen Pingan sat on the chair, closed his eyes and rested for a moment, then stood up.

The woman asked nervously: "Chen Pingan, where are you going?"

Chen Ping'an said: "As long as I'm on Qingxia Island, it doesn't matter where I am. Auntie, don't worry."

The woman hesitated to speak, but finally did not dare to force him to stay.

As soon as Chen Pingan walked out of the Spring Court House, he immediately covered his heart and his mouth with one hand.

He took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the house at the gate of the mountain.

When you get to that room, open the door, close it, and light the lamp on the table.

Chen Ping'an sat on the bench with his back to the window, trembling, took out the ointment bought from Yang's pharmacy and swallowed it forcefully.

One person sits alone.

There are sword-raising gourds on the table, and flying swords on the first and fifteenth day, respectively, at the door and the window.

Inhumane, unapproachable, hard to approach, hard to get close to.

There was disappointment.

I think that when I sit at home late at night, I should talk about people traveling far away.

There seemed to be hope.

But in the end, you will still be disappointed.

After taking the ointment made by Old Man Yang, Chen Ping'an, who was completely unconscious from body to soul, stared blankly at the lights there. The lights were getting thinner and it was almost dawn.

The young man, whose eyes were as dead as the abyss of an ancient well, turned to look out the window.

Its daybreak.
