Chapter 187: The Lonely Lamp
The Jinpeng killer wanted to "live in seclusion" in the Deyi Building, which was impossible, and just when Gu Shenwei was concentrating on opening up the meridians of the whole body for the second time, people and things outside Wangcheng Lane came to the door.
The first to break in were a few uninvited guests who knew each other, but they were not directly related to the killer.
Gu Shenwei also followed the example of others, and painted many scars on his face to hide his true face, so the gang did not recognize him.
The person who came was Shangguan Fei's "military advisor" Guan Houlin, who chatted with Tang Ji, the steward of the teahouse, for a while, and finally the two sides broke up unhappily.
Gu Shenwei then remembered that the ostensible purpose of his coming here was to inquire about Guan Houlin's details, the disciples of the Peng Immortals were no different from ordinary people when they were not controlled, and Gu Shenwei was already very familiar with them now, so he quickly asked what he wanted to know.
Guan Houlin once wanted to worship Peng Xianren as a teacher, but was rejected because of his lack of qualifications, and now he is no longer a desperate swordsman, but the military advisor of the Nine Young Masters of Jinpeng Castle, in charge of one of the most powerful forces in Nancheng, and he returned to the Proud Building to collect protection money from the entire Wangcheng Lane.
In the intricate network of power in Biyu City, Wangcheng Lane has always been a pure land, and the people here have never accepted protection from the outside world, and they are rarely blackmailed, so Guan Houlin's request was rejected outright.
The people in the proud building have no fear, they feel that this is a trivial matter, Gu Shenwei is a little sympathetic to Shangguan Fei, if this nine young masters really come to Wangcheng Lane to cause trouble, they will definitely hit their heads and bleed, there are many masters in the proud building, and there is a reason why Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Wangcheng Lane, this place has always been not controlled by the outside world, there is a reason.
Not long after Guan Houlin came, one evening in April, Gu Shenwei was practicing in the peach forest, and a group of people came to him, and this time the target was himself.
Chu Nanping was the attendant of the Peng immortals, and he could not come out until the immortals rested, so at that time, only Gu Shen was alone.
Seven or eight black-clothed men jumped down from the peach tree one after another, occupying different positions and surrounding the killer Yang Huan tightly.
Gu Shenwei held the sword in his hand, looked at these acquaintances coldly, and a sense of boredom arose in his heart, he was indulging in the world of swordsmanship, and he didn't like to be disturbed.
Shangguan Ru circled around his subordinate killers for half a circle, "Are you practicing swords?"
"Yes, I'm practicing swords. ”
As soon as the blunt words came out, Shangguan Ru was stunned, Gu Shenwei also felt incredible, and then as if he had just woken up from a big dream, he immediately knelt down on one leg, put down the sword in his hand, and bowed his head to plead guilty, "Ten sons, your subordinates are presumptuous......"
How can we explain all this? Gu Shenwei couldn't think of a reasonable explanation.
Shangguan Ru was not angry, but showed a sympathetic look on his face, "I should have called you out a long time ago, you fell for the immortal rope." ”
"What am I?" Gu Shenwei raised his head in surprise.
"Immortal Suo, Peng Immortal's spell, those who fall under the spell will believe all his words, voluntarily stay by his side, and never leave, fortunately, you have not been affected for a long time, and there is still the possibility of rescue. Just come with me. ”
"No, no, I don't have a Zhongxian rope, I can leave at any time, but it's just a little bit ......"
Gu Shen stopped talking again, Shangguan Ru waved his hand, several killers retreated, and then let Huan Nu get up and speak.
"If Immortal Peng can remove the Eight Desolation Finger Force, he will succeed. ”
"You're not okay yet?" This time it was Shangguan Ru's turn to be surprised, she thought that Huan Nu had been cured last time she destroyed the Great Wilderness Gate.
"At the time, I thought it would be good, but then I repeated it. ”
"You never told me. ”
"There are a lot of things to think about, I don't want to make any more trouble, I thought it would be cured in a few days, but I didn't expect it to be delayed for so long. ”
"I have to warn you, Peng Xianren is very powerful, but it is also very dangerous, you have to be careful. ”
In the past two months, Gu Shenwei has been in a state of "disappearance", the tenth prince was not angry, Gu Shenwei was a little surprised, "Yes, I will leave the proud building soon, no one restricts my freedom, Ye Shilang walked out from here." ”
Shangguan Ru nodded, seemed to struggle in his heart, and finally sighed, "Okay, you stay here for the time being, remember my words, as long as you fall into the immortal rope, everyone will find their own reasons to stay, I hope your reasons are true." ”
Gu Shenwei knelt down again, of course his reason was true, the three-year period of going mad was coming, and what he wanted to save was his own life.
When he raised his head again, Shangguan Ru had already left.
The sword practice that day was not smooth, Gu Shenwei and Chu Nanping were practicing the second "sword is heavier than the mountain" realm, there was a piece of heavy iron flat on the sword body, the two of them not only had to use internal breath to ensure that the sword was not crushed, but also to prevent the iron from flying out when the sword was quickly released, but Gu Shenwei was always distracted, the sword momentum was erviolated, and the iron did not stick to it several times in a row.
Chu Nanping was young, but he had always been straightforward about the mistakes of the co-practitioners, never showing mercy, putting away his sword, turning around and leaving, throwing down a sentence, "You are emotional, waste time." ”
Reprimanded by an eleven-year-old child, Gu Shenwei suddenly became angry, and without thinking about it, he picked up his sword, chased Chu Nanping behind him, and stabbed him in the neck.
This is not a ruthless sword, but the swordsmanship of the "Book of the Dead", Gu Shenwei's most proficient martial arts, and the swordsmanship that has never missed and will hit with one blow.
This time, it disappointed the owner.
The tip of the sword was still a foot away from the target, and Chu Nanping had already turned around, brushed a few swords, forcing Gu Shenwei to retreat step by step, and finally leaned against the trunk of the tree, and was pressed against his chest by the child's sword.
"The Book of the Dead" is a sword, and if you miss a move, you will fall into passivity.
"Anger is also love, ruthlessness is no anger, what is going on with you today?"
Gu Shenwei put aside Chu Nanping's sword, didn't say anything, and walked outside the peach forest, he wanted to think about it alone.
After so long, he realized that something was wrong, "The Secret of Investigation" and "The Book of the Dead" are two completely different martial arts, the former is grand and all-encompassing, and the latter is subtle, only seeking a sword, practicing ruthless swordsmanship, which has unconsciously weakened his original martial arts.
Gu Shenwei walked aimlessly along the boundary wall of Wangcheng Lane, and after a while, he felt irritable, and when he looked back, the lone lamp on the third floor of the proud building was faintly visible, and he suddenly had an impulse, and wanted to go directly to Peng Xianren to ask for clarification, these are obviously two swordsmanship that are mutually restrictive, why are immortals interested in the "Book of the Dead"?
Gu Shenwei continued to move forward, his pace became faster and faster, his swordsmanship regressed, but his light skills made great progress, and it didn't take long for him to go out of the range of Wangcheng Lane, and since he studied the "Secret of Investigation", he entered other areas of Nancheng for the first time.
The streets and alleys don't seem to have changed, except that the snow has melted and become dirtier.
In a room in the backyard of the South Wall Sprinkle Pavilion, the lotus girl was waiting for Huan Nu, and she followed the Ten Princes to find him, but she didn't have a chance to speak.
"What's wrong?"
The Lotus Girl's tone was always as plain as water, and at this time she showed a slight trace of concern, according to the original plan, Huan Nu should meet her every three days, but this is the first time in two months, she has lurked in the shadows many times, observing Huan Nu from afar, but has not shown up.
"I don't know. ”
The farther away from the proud building, the more obvious the irritability in Gu Shenwei's heart became, as if a flock of birds lived inside, flying around because of a premonition that a natural disaster was coming, and desperately wanted to return to a quiet and peaceful place.
Gu Shenwei sat down dejectedly, surprised and despised for his weakness.
The lotus girl walked over, pressed a hand on his shoulder, and said softly, "I will help you." ”
Gu Shenwei raised his head and looked at the girl he was most familiar with, surprised that her voice would be so sweet, he didn't drink, but when he heard these four short words, he was as drunk as if he had drunk alcohol.
Before he realized what was happening, he was already holding her waist, his face pressed against her flat lower abdomen, and he didn't say a word.
The lotus girl was deeply surprised, and raised her hand as if to push away the boy's embrace, but finally her hand fell on his hair, and gently stroked it for a long time before she spoke, "Tell me everything." ”
When Gu Shenwei left the lotus girl and returned to the proud building, his mood was much calmer, and he felt a little guilty, he had never been so close to any woman, which made him doubt that he was still not a killer.
He described the practice process in detail, and recited the "Secret of the Investigation" that he remembered, and the lotus girl took a pen and paper to record it, but he didn't remember it completely, and the sixty-four practice methods only looked at the ruthless swordsmanship, and the other content has not been paid attention to.
Gu Shenwei felt that he had regained his strength, and this power would be able to fight against Peng Immortal's spells, whether it was called hypnosis or immortal suo.
He usually lives in a room near the Proud Building, but at this time he didn't go back directly to rest, but entered the empty Proud Building and stepped up.
The lone lamp on the third floor was always bright, and he pushed the screen in front of the lamp and carefully read every word on it.
There is nothing to doubt, sixty-four practice methods are equivalent to sixty-four martial arts, all different, if the "Book of the Dead" is just a different understanding and different realms, "The Secret of Investigation" is like a hodgepodge, there are all kinds of dishes in it.
Unconsciously, he was attracted by the part of the ruthless swordsmanship.
People are lighter than the sword, the sword is heavier than the mountain, the heart and the sword are together, the intention moves with the sword, the heart and the mind communicate, the love belongs to the heart, and the heart does not tolerate the love, this is the sevenfold realm of the ruthless sword, each weight is a method, corresponding to light work, strength, speed, concentration, reaction, murderous energy, will, and finally it will be the sword killing, not the person killing.
Gu Shenwei had never considered the final outcome of this set of swordsmanship, he was a "ruthless person", so naturally he couldn't think about it and shrink his head and tail.
"Don't suppress the feelings in your heart, release it, it's the excess part of your heart, let it be exposed, and then kill it. Ruthlessness must first be ruthless, and extinguishing affection is ruthlessness. ”
Gu Shenwei said to himself, but he knew very well that this was not what he came up with, the words automatically spit out from his lips, and they didn't go through his mind at all.
The short Peng Immortal stood ten steps away with a tall cane, and Gu Shenwei had not noticed it before.
"Ye Shilang, how did you leave the Proud Building?" Gu Shenwei asked in a hoarse voice, as if it was not his own organ, and he had to work hard to control it.
Then he answered himself, a voice a little dull, but extremely smooth, telling a story he had never heard before.
