"The climate in the north is different from other places in the world. This place is always cold all year round and the land is very barren. It is not a good place."
"We have just reached the edge of the northern border, and this is already the case. If we get closer, the situation will be more serious."
"Snow is a common thing in the North."
"So my sister likes rain very much. She likes to run wildly in the rain. She will run endlessly."
"She often got sick from this when she was a child, but she was not afraid even so. Her biggest wish was to take a look at the rain in the south of the Yangtze River."
"I watched it for her."
…
There are many snowflakes falling under the snow, neither big nor small.
Gu Qingyang, who was dressed in a simple black robe, had already reached the junction of the North and the East. He returned to this familiar land again, but he was not in a hurry to move forward.
He stood on a piece of wasteland, silently looking at the desolate world in front of him. He was originally born in the north.
Returning this time is actually a revisit to the old place.
But he didn't feel much joy in his heart. With the experience of these two lives, he was well aware of the vicissitudes of life.
The world is indeed huge and infinite. But there is no place for him in such a world. This kind of thing is also sad for a person.
He's okay.
After going through the baptism of time and experiencing so many things, he has long been able to face the past calmly.
However... Wei Jiuling, who transformed into a heavenly lock and wrapped around his arm, couldn't. Listening to Gu Qingyang's story, she couldn't help but think of the past.
When she was going through the catastrophe of rebirth, she had a glimpse of Gu Qingyang's past through her original connection with Gu Qingyang.
This includes this past.
If she didn't know these past events, she would probably still treat Gu Qingyang as a god, or just regard him as the benefactor who saved her.
But the problem is that she already knows everything about his past. She knew very well that such a person who was both a god and a demon was actually flesh and blood.
Gu Qingyang can talk about this past in such a calm way, not because he has let it go, but because this past has become his obsession.
insist.
Such a word is enough to explain everything. Such Gu Qingyang is indeed terrifying, although Gu Qingyang has also done many things that are truly beneficial to all living beings.
But those things were all done by Gu Qingyang in the process of practice. If those things were not insignificant, he might not have done them.
If it were a weapon that required its master to have great perseverance, perseverance, and a heart of justice...
Such a weapon may indeed not accept Gu Qingyang easily, and may even actively attack Gu Qingyang.
But she is different.
She was not born to be a weapon, but she was willing to be a weapon for Gu Qingyang. In this world, he may not be the only one who can use the Heavenly Lock.
But the only person who can make her willingly devote all her strength is Gu Qingyang. Her feelings for Gu Qingyang are also very complicated.
Gratitude, thankfulness, love.
Loyalty, love and tolerance.
…
To be honest, even she herself couldn't tell what her mentality was when facing Gu Qingyang.
She just knew that when Gu Qingyang used the extreme method of "deceiving herself" to save her remaining soul again, her heart completely changed.
It's bitterly cold in the north.
Ever since Gu Qingyang took her to this land, she had already felt the unique coldness of this place.
But now she has become a weapon rather than a normal living being, so this coldness is really nothing to her.
In addition, she had a pure mind and had already decided at the beginning of her rebirth that she would do her best to protect Gu Qingyang.
Even if it is broken, it is broken for him.
So under the dual effects of body and mind, she really doesn't care about the environment. But she also had a special feeling in her heart.
After rebirth, her appearance and other conditions will be determined by Gu Qingyang. Her current appearance was due to Gu Qingyang's state of mind.
This is not her original appearance, but the appearance of Gu Qingyang's sister, Gu Qingying.
As a weapon, she could feel that Gu Qingyang had never said a word of his heart.
That is--
If Gu Qingying is still alive, she should be like her now, a beautiful woman with unparalleled grace and strength, and a strong person who can surpass countless living beings.
When Gu Qingyang said the same thing and fell into silence because of recalling the past, she would silently use her spiritual power to actively generate heat.
The spiritual energy flows like warm spring water.
"Um?"
"Thanks."
Feeling the feeling of spring breeze, Gu Qingyang smiled easily. He was confused at first, and then expressed his gratitude.
Although Wei Jiuling was his weapon, the original relationship between them was that of master and servant. But he really never regarded her as a tool.
Friends, old friends...relatives.
He couldn't tell how he felt about Wei Jiuling. Anyway, Wei Jiuling was the miserable girl in his heart.
The reason for their connection was a good one. Although they have gone through hardships since then, it should be regarded as having a good result.
Thinking about it now, he found that his inner world was not without warmth at all.
In this life, it has been more than ten years since he first left the North.
It seems that a lot of things have changed in more than ten years, but it seems that nothing has changed. Time, after all, goes too fast.
Gu Qingyang suddenly raised his hand, silently caught a piece of snowflake, raised it to his eyes, and watched it turn from ice crystals into water droplets little by little.
Just when Wei Jiuling was about to do something to comfort Gu Qingyang and stop Gu Qingyang from being immersed in sadness, Gu Qingyang smiled and said:
"In the past, snow was like flowers."
"Today the flowers are like snow."
"Let's go."
"For me, this journey of revisiting my old place is also part of the spiritual path. We can still enjoy the peace now."
"In the near future, all kinds of killings will come around me, disturbing my peace and disturbing my heart."
"Practice, practice—"
"The first is cultivation, and the second is walking. Although there are no prosperous places in the north, it still has a different feeling."
"I'll take you around and kill a few more people on the way. The world will eventually be in chaos. Instead of waiting for those people to find me, it's better for me to find them."
…
Hearing Gu Qingyang's emotion, Wei Jiuling's heart became calm. She could feel that Gu Qingyang was no longer so sad.
The painful memories of the past should have been buried deep in his heart again. At this moment, he was just like the Gu Qingyang who was determined to continue to become stronger.
That being the case, she didn't need to do anything else. Now she is no longer Chu Xiuwei, but Wei Jiuling.
This new name brings a new destiny.
…
"Waiter, serve the wine!"
In an ancient town that was not too prosperous, the few pubs were all full. The waiter who was not very busy on weekdays became the busiest person.
There was an endless stream of people of all kinds, each of them dressed differently, speaking and behaving differently. They were obviously from all over the world.
Suddenly, people from the North became the rarest people in the tavern in the North.
Such a scene actually made those in the northern border surprised.
They really didn't understand what happened. They just knew that something big must have happened in the north.
But they really don't know what happened specifically. Otherwise, people from the north wouldn't need to ask around.
"Have you heard that the one who caused a lot of commotion recently? I heard that he really made a contract with Tiandao."
"What? How can this kind of thing be true? It's just what others say. Fellow Taoist, please don't believe these rumors."
"What rumor?"
"I'm telling you, everything you heard is actually true. There really is such a person in this world."
"Yes, that person's name is Gu Qingyang. He is a traitor to our human race. He actually teamed up with the beast race and helped the beast race attack our race!"
"What, is this true?"
"Let me tell you, no wonder the beasts suddenly started to capture the major cities of our human race some time ago. Is that what happened?"
"Then what kind of ability does Gu Qingyang have? He can actually get in touch with the beast tribe, and he can be targeted by many avenues."
"Yeah, why did you lose in the end?"
…
Inside the tavern, there was a buzz of people.
Unlike ordinary times, since the East China Sea Massacre ended, the name Gu Qingyang has become famous in the wilderness.
In today's wild world, whether it is in the northern and southern regions, the eastern and western wilderness, or the most prosperous Central Continent.
Everyone knows the name Gu Qingyang.
Even mortals as humble as ants know that there is Gu Qingyang in the human race, who is a great traitor and a peerless devil.
All in all, since the East China Sea Killing Bureau was laid out, all kinds of curses against Gu Qingyang have never disappeared from this world.
It's just that since the end of this killing round, everything has settled down, and many things have become puzzles.
Many people cannot guess the truth and have no channels to know the real truth.
Just because you can't know doesn't mean you can't tell. Anyway, you don't have to pay for talking nonsense.
Therefore, most of them basically make up the rumors they heard and then start making nonsense.
As a result, the tavern was filled with people. Under the dim light of the lights, everyone was drinking and talking, and they were really enjoying themselves.
As for whether those words are true or false, who cares?
After all, there are still too few people who really care about this matter. Even if the world is in chaos, a real war has already broken out.
The thoughts of these bone cultivators are still the same as before, they still want to fish in troubled waters, and they still want to gain profits through opportunistic methods.
Different from Gu Qingyang's practice method of constantly fighting for his life, the practice method of these people is just like this, if you can use your life, don't use it.
In fact, this is the right thing to do.
In this world, survival is extremely difficult.
Some people, like Gu Qingyang, are determined to stand at the top of that road.
Some people never thought of that, they were just trying their best to survive in their own way.
There are millions of paths in life, and they may seem different, but in fact they are all determined by one's own heart.
And these bone cultivators didn't notice it, just when they were drinking heavily and enjoying the hustle and bustle that belonged to their bone cultivators.
There was a man who quietly entered the tavern. Like others, he ordered two pots of turbid spiritual wine and drank it in silence.
"Where to go next?"
Gu Qingyang breathed the air in the tavern, feeling the complex warmth. The tavern is not big, but the inside and outside of the tavern are like two worlds.
The world outside is silent, and the white snow will seal everything in, bringing the silence that it deserves to this world.
The world inside is noisy. There is no snow but there are people, wine and sounds. Or bring something different to this already silent world.
Gu Qingyang drank the wine and savored the taste.
What he was really thinking about was what happened next.
He wanted to come to the north, and he came.
So what happens next?
Should I live here like everyone else, or should I insist on being myself, without any pretense, and bring carnage to the world?
He was silent, seemingly hesitating. In fact, when he thought about this step, he already had a very clear answer in his heart.
"kill!"
He lowered his head, silently glanced at the empty wine bowl, then raised his head, naturally closed his eyes and became completely silent.
The voice of his heart resounded throughout his inner world.
After experiencing the baptism of time for more than ten years, he has already discovered this kind of life.
Sure enough, he still couldn't live as simply as he had expected, but he also understood this helplessness. Because this is the price of becoming stronger.
It doesn't matter whether it's called a name or praised.
In the final analysis... they are just some sounds, and in fact, they are nothing to pay too much attention to.
When a person stands at a high place, he is destined to be looked up to by others, becomes the focus of a road, and attracts countless eyes.
He doesn't care about those eyes.
But if someone blocks his way regardless of life and death, then the only choice he can make is to kill.
Kill them all.
This was the answer he had gotten a long time ago. Now that he thought of it again, it made his rather impetuous heart calmer again.
"Have you heard? In the far north of our northern border, Beimingyuan... there are many ancient ruins there!"
"Bei Mingyuan, I seem to have heard of this place, but I just didn't think of it for the moment. Please tell me, fellow Taoist."
"You don't even know about Beimingyuan?"
"A long, long time ago, it was the territory of the sea beast race, and there were many ancient sea beast races living there."
"Later, our human race expanded our territory and started a war with sea beasts. After a long period of fighting, we finally won half of the territory."
"Since then, all the great sects of the human race have stood there. They have used the resources there to develop, which can be regarded as triggering an extremely ancient prosperous age."
"It's a pity that the human civilization in Beimingyuan was completely destroyed due to the previous catastrophes, and now it has completely disappeared."
"Nowadays, the reason why there are so many comrades coming from all over the world is because the ancient ruins of Beimingyuan have appeared again."
"I see!"
"I see!"
…
As soon as such news came out, the whole scene got out of control. Almost all bone cultivators have focused their attention on this matter.
Even those drunk bone cultivators suddenly became alert and began to listen carefully, for fear of missing any details.
"Beimingyuan?"
The moment he heard the name of this place, Gu Qingyang was confused at first, and then remembered his previous life experience.
In order to create the Tai Cang Ku Rong Sutra, he had been in that place. It is no exaggeration to say that the origin of his word Tai Cang is from there.
Because that place was the first place where the word Tai Cang was recorded, he also knew that many civilizations had existed there.
But when he went there, apart from seeing some civilization relics there, he gained nothing else.
Even the word "Tai Cang" was understood by him with the help of a ray of energy after he sat in retreat in that place for a long time.
In a sense, he was a monster-like figure in his previous life.
If someone else were to do that kind of thing, they probably wouldn't be able to figure it out, no matter how long it took them.
After all, it is just a wisp of Qi, and it will basically dissipate completely after being sensed. Whether ordinary people can remember all its characteristics is a question.
What's more, after remembering, you still use memory as the basis to simulate, understand, and simulate again... This process must be repeated countless times.
And... in this process of continuous trying, the real difficulty is not the first few attempts but the subsequent attempts.
The further you go, the more confused your mind will be, and your memory will be affected by the results of deductions again and again, and it may become completely different from the initial memory.
In a sense, even the most savvy people will probably only have a few opportunities when facing this kind of situation.
After several opportunities were exhausted, there was no longer any possibility of realizing the power of Tai Cang.
But he did it at that time, and it ended up becoming what it is now.
Now that he thought of that place again, he actually had the idea of going there. Why not?
When he first went there, the ruins there had been visited by countless bone cultivators and had been destroyed beyond recognition.
If he could go earlier...
"hiss--"
Before Gu Qingyang could think more, the noise in the tavern suddenly disappeared. Gu Qingyang, who felt this change, also woke up.
He looked around and realized that he had unknowingly become the center of attention and was being noticed by everyone.
There is such a situation because he is too immersed in thinking about things, so that his aura is a little exposed.
It would be strange if these bone cultivators could still feel better under the suppression of his godless power.
Gu Qingyang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this.
He forgot about his own situation again. Now he is no longer the accomplished boy before, but now he is a peerless devil.
"Fellow Taoist, what do you mean?"
…
