Shu Guan stood on the bank of the river. In his hand, he held the origami swallow that the master had given him when he left.
Shu Guan didn't know what his master was thinking when he gave him this paper swallow.
Is it just a coincidence, or he has seen through himself and knows that one day he will follow his old path.
It's a pity that the master is dead and he can't find out.
And he eventually followed the same path as his master.
Now I have also violated the rules of heaven. It is not the kind of sideline that can turn a blind eye, but an extremely serious violation of the rules of heaven, and there is no way out.
According to the regulations of the Seven Immortals Alliance, this is a capital offense!
No matter how sympathetic and understandable your motives are, it is a capital crime.
Because what Shu Guan did just now was a little different from Li Zhixia. He went further and did it more thoroughly than his master.
Li Zhixia killed someone, at least secretly, hiding her identity, but Shu Guan did it in public.
This is simply a naked declaration of war against the rules of heaven that have been defended by the Seven Immortals Alliance for thousands of years!
However, Shu Guan's original intention was not to declare war on Tiangui or the Seven Immortals Alliance. According to his original plan, he was originally planning to kill Takeo Nakata privately.
But at that time, the hall was too silent.
The silence made Shu Guan a little angry.
Even Xu Pingxi was silent. Although his silence was due to the presidential order, this silence was still chilling.
A Rising Sun countryman, after their country had just launched..., stood in front of everyone so arrogant and domineering, trampling on the dignity of..., but everyone still remained silent.
Shu Guan felt that this was wrong.
So he chose to kill Takeo Nakata in public. Someone had to stand up and break the disappointing and chilling silence.
If this silence is allowed to continue, Dahua may really perish. Even if they, the practitioners of the Seven Immortals Alliance, have just fought to the death to save the Tortoise and Snake Formation and preserved Dahua's destiny, they cannot stop the mortals themselves. Die in silence.
But no matter what, what Shu Guan did was intolerable to the Seven Immortals Alliance.
Shu Guan sighed softly, took out the emerald green cigarette rod, lit a pot of cigarettes for himself, sat on a bench by the river, stared at the river, and began to wait.
He now smokes much less frequently than before. The reason is that the old cripple has less and less tobacco left behind, so he must smoke sparingly.
But now, Shuguan wanted to smoke a pot.
The mellow smell of tobacco penetrated into the lungs, and then spread to all parts of the body as the blood flowed, and Shu Guan's mood gradually calmed down.
He waited calmly.
Waiting for the arrival of the person who will execute the heavenly rules and take his own life.
Shu Guan didn't wait long before the man came.
Mu Yao's figure appeared behind him.
Shu Guan looked back and saw that the person who came did not surprise him.
The second senior brother was also looking at him with a wry smile on his face.
"I've been waiting for you in the temple for two days, thinking you had something important to do."
Mu Yao walked around the bench and sat next to Shu Guan.
Shu Guan nodded apologetically to Senior Brother Er and said:
"I said, I won't go back."
"I don't know that your 'not going back' is this kind of not going back."
Mu Yao let out a long sigh.
Then the two of them were silent for a while.
"You just killed a person, and he was a mortal with a very important status."
After a long time, Mu Yao spoke again.
"Um."
Shu Guan hummed, not using any Tianyin Demon Subduing Technique, but simply humming.
"Now the entire Seven Immortals Alliance knows about this matter."
Mu Yao continued:
"Master Miki and Chief Su Jie have already come to see me just now."
"Where are they?"
"They didn't come and they left me to deal with it myself."
"Both of their injuries have not healed yet. Of course, their absence is not due to their injuries."
"Then, Second Senior Brother, what are you going to do with me now?"
Mu Yao turned his head to look at Shu Guan and asked seriously:
"I can't beat you, what can I do?"
"If you want to deal with me, senior brother, I won't fight back."
Shu Guan also said it very seriously.
Mu Yao didn't speak. He was silent for a while and looked at the river in front of him seriously.
"Uncle Qi is gone."
Then he said something so softly.
Shu Guan's body trembled slightly.
"When did you leave?"
"The morning before yesterday, he fell asleep and never woke up."
...That's after I left...
Deep sadness flashed in Shu Guan's eyes.
The master is dead, Master Qi is also dead, and now only the second generation disciples of Shan Ji Guan are left.
"Would you like to go back to the temple to see Master Qi one last time?"
Mu Yao turned his head and stared at him and asked.
Shu Guan was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"I've seen him for the last time."
Yes, he had already said goodbye to Master Qi that morning, but he didn't know that saying goodbye would be forever.
"I've been waiting for you to come back these two days."
"I'm waiting for you to come back and discuss who should be the leader of our Shansi Guan."
"Master has already said that the next temple master is you."
"No, I think you are more suitable to be a Guanzhu than me. No matter in terms of talent, strength, or skill in doing things, I am far inferior to you, seventh junior brother."
Shu Guan laughed and said:
"Do you think I can still be the master of the temple now?"
"You are Lu Zu's chosen successor. There may be room for change in this matter."
Mu Yao pondered for a moment and said this.
Shu Guan shook his head in disbelief. He always knew that he was not the one who chose Lu Zu's successor.
The most important thing is that he no longer wants to go back.
"No, I won't go back. From today on, I, Shu Guan, am no longer a disciple of Shan Ji Guan, nor a member of the Seven Immortals Alliance!"
Shu Guan said calmly.
He had already thought about this matter very clearly. Shu Guan made this decision after he slashed the sword under Snake Mountain the day before yesterday.
Mu Yao looked at him without much surprise, as if he had already guessed Shu Guan's decision.
"Why?"
Then he asked this question, but the emotion in his tone was a little excited.
Shu Guan took a puff of cigarette silently, and then began to tell Mu Yao the reasons for his decision.
"On the day the master died, when we were parting, he said one thing, that is, if his identity as a swallow was not revealed, the next person he would kill would be Takeo Nakata."
Mu Yao was startled suddenly, and then became a little silent.
Shu Guan continued:
"Master secretly conducted a lot of investigations on Takeo Nakata and found that the shooting incident in the Yinjili Concession was actually planned and promoted by Takeo Nakata. As for Jorge, he was just a pawn being manipulated. "
"Of course, I killed Takeo Nakata not just because of this incident, but because the night before yesterday, I went to the Consulate of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun. I found something in the consulate. This time, the Black Dragon Society of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun wanted to It can be said that Takeo Nakata was fully involved in the conspiracy to blow up Turtle and Snake Mountain, and his role was very important."
"So, his hands are stained with the blood of all the people who died because of this conspiracy, including the mortals who died innocently, the former academy disciples who were killed by girls, and the teachers who died in the battle the day before yesterday. Brothers’ and our master’s.”
"This man is just like another Tan Yankai. If I were still a disciple of Shan Si Kuan, do you think I could kill him?"
"No, I can't do anything. I can only watch him live well."
"I don't want to be like Master Qi, who was so overwhelmed that he couldn't take action. I also don't want to be like Master, who waited for more than ten years before taking action."
"This is the reason why I want to leave Shan Si Guan and leave the Seven Immortals Alliance."
After explaining the reasons, Shu Guan let out a long sigh of relief.
Mu Yao also finished listening. He had been listening very carefully, and then he said in a deep voice:
"But you should know that your choice is wrong."
"Yes, I know it's wrong."
Shu Guan nodded calmly.
As for whether to abide by the heavenly rules, neither he nor Mu Yao would argue, and there was no need to argue.
However, Shu Guan then said:
"But it worked out right."
Yes, Takeo Nakata deserves to die, and Shu Guan's killing of him was not wrong at all, although Shu Guan's killing of him was already extremely wrong.
"So in the future, I want to use some wrong ways to do some right things."
Shuguan thought for a while and made this summary of his behavior.
"But if everyone thinks so, then the world will be in chaos..."
Mu Yao didn't retort to Shu Guan, he just muttered something like this in a daze.
"Isn't there the Seven Immortals Alliance? Isn't the duty of the Seven Immortals Alliance to stop people who think like me?"
Shu Guan laughed.
"Although I plan to live like this in the future, this is just my personal choice. I will not require everyone to be the same as me... Well, if I meet someone who thinks the same as me in the future, I will also stop him."
"The rules of heaven should never be violated!"
Shu Guan finally said this solemnly.
Mu Yao slowly opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at Shu Guan. After a long while, he finally came back to his senses.
"...Seventh Junior Brother, you mean that only you can violate the rules of heaven, but others can't? Only you can do it, but others can't?"
Mu Yao confirmed it with some uncertainty.
"yes!"
Shu Guan nodded matter-of-factly.
Just because he doesn't want to abide by the rules of heaven doesn't mean that he thinks the rules of heaven are wrong, nor does it mean that he will allow others to break them.
This is actually a very outrageous idea.
"Then what if you meet someone who is more powerful than you and thinks the same way, and then wants to stop you?"
Mu Yao asked again.
"Then I have to accept my fate."
Shu Guan spread his hands indifferently and said:
"But until no one stops me, I'm going to live my life."
Mu Yao finally understood what Shu Guan meant, and then sighed quietly. While sighing, he suddenly felt inexplicably envious of his seventh junior brother.
It's a pity that he can only envy him, not only because of his strength, but mainly because of his character. He can't be as free and easy as Shu Guan.
"Senior brother, are you sure you don't want to stop me?"
"I can't stop it."
The round-faced young Taoist priest muttered, and then said:
"But it's not necessarily true for the patriarchs in the temple."
"So I'm going to run a little further."
Shu Guan smiled.
"Where are you going next?"
"I'm going to find that woman. I know she's not dead yet, so I'm going to find her, no matter what means I use, and then make her soul fly away!"
"And if I'm still contemplating goodness, I can't do this."
Mu Yao looked at Shu Guan, with endless gratitude flashing in his eyes.
"Thank you, Seventh Junior Brother."
Mu Yao stood up, put his hands together, and bowed deeply to Shu Guan.
This is something that all the other disciples of their Shanjingguan want to do but are unable to do. Fortunately, they still have a seventh junior brother!
Then Mu Yao took out a wooden box and handed it to Shu Guan.
"What's this?"
Shu Guan looked at Mu Yao puzzled.
"This is a gun, the fourth junior brother's newly refined gun. Compared with the original spiritual pistol, it is more powerful, has a faster rate of fire, and can load more spiritual bullets at one time."
"Of course, the fourth junior brother only put a hundred rounds of specially designated psychic bullets inside. As for the future ammunition, you have to find a way to deal with it yourself."
"This is a parting gift from Fourth Junior Brother to you."
Shu Guan opened the box in a daze, and saw a white Boloni pistol quietly placed inside the box. However, compared with the ordinary Boloni pistol, its barrel was thicker and the gun body was larger. The handle is made of ivory and is beautifully carved with patterns.
Of course, these patterns are actually Dao patterns.
This is always an extremely beautiful pistol that exudes a cold aura.
And inside the box, there are about a dozen magazines, with pointed brass bullets pinned inside. They are also engraved with complex Dao patterns, exuding a faint aura of spiritual power.
Then Shu Guan raised his head and still looked at Mu Yao with some confusion.
Mu Yao smiled.
"Actually, everyone has already guessed that you may not come back. They originally wanted to see you off, but that would be too disrespectful to Tianzui, and they would not care about Guiyuan Temple and Yuelan Academy. It’s easy to explain, so I can only send off my junior brothers and sisters on my behalf.”
While talking, Mu Yao took out another box and handed it over.
"Your fifth senior brother gave this to you. Since yesterday, your fifth senior brother has locked himself in his room and kept drawing talismans."
Shu Guan opened the box and saw that the box was filled with stacks of Taoist talismans.
"Your fifth senior brother said, don't waste the talisman papers in the Treasure Pavilion casually. Wait until the critical moment to use them. Normally, just use his talisman papers first. And if you have the chance, he suggested that you can practice it yourself. The art of drawing talismans."
Shu Guan silently closed the lid of the box. Listening to Mu Yao's words, his eyes slowly became slightly moist.
"Lao Liu originally had a box for you, but I didn't bring it because the boxes contained all of his magazines, and I didn't think you might like them."
"Your Third Senior Sister has nothing to give you. But the spiritual bullets in the box just now were made by Third Senior Sister and Sixth Junior Brother together with Fourth Junior Brother. They contain your Third Senior Sister's sword energy and Sixth Junior Brother's water and fire energy. force."
"Thank you for me, brothers and sisters."
Shu Guan wiped the moisture from the corner of his eyes, raised his head and said to Mu Yao with a smile:
"What about you, Second Senior Brother? Do you have anything to give me?"
Mu Yao also smiled, and then waved from a distance.
Then Shu Guan saw in the deep night in the distance, a figure that seemed to be integrated with the night between heaven and earth walked over.
The figure was very tall, but his walking posture was a bit weird, as if all the bones in his body were frozen, and he was very stiff when walking.
That's Han Biao.
"You are his bodyguard. If he is separated from you for too long, I am afraid that the yin energy in his body will overwhelm the yang energy and become a mindless monster. So if you want to leave, you must take him with you. Walk."
Mu Yao explained this.
Han Biao walked up to the two of them, grinned at Shu Guan, and smiled.
The smile is ugly, but the smile in the eyes is warm.
Shu Guan raised his hand and shook Han Biao's hand.
"Where's the master?"
Then he finally asked Mu Yao this question.
"I placed him in the Treasure Pavilion, in the room where Old Han originally slept, together with the Ice Soul Cold Light Needle."
Shu Dian nodded.
The corpse of a strong person in the Fetal Movement Realm takes much longer to decay than an ordinary mortal, but as long as a true fairyland is not achieved, it will eventually decay.
And after more than ten decades, even if it is not completely corrupted, there will still be some problems.
However, if it is placed in the room where the Bingso Hanguang Needle is located, the time that Li Zhixia's physical body can remain intact will be greatly extended.
"Keep it there, don't move, wait for me to come back."
Then Shu Guan said this to Mu Yao very carefully.
Mu Yao's eyes flashed slightly and he nodded cautiously.
"Then I'm going back."
"Senior brother, have you figured out how to explain it to Master Miki and Chief Su Jie?"
"Since the two of them asked me to come alone, I don't need to explain anything."
"Then...take care."
"Junior brother, take care of yourself too."
