But the next moment, Gu Ci's smile froze on his face.
Mu Qing's sword was indeed not enough to destroy the momentum released by Gu Yan, but after the billowing black flames raged, it was like a fish swimming in the water without any hindrance, and flew to Liu Weirui's side at a speed that exceeded both of their expectations. around.
Liu Weirui heard the urgent sound of swords in her ears, and when she looked sideways, she saw a flying sword wrapped in black flames. She didn't even think about whether the black flames would hurt her, so she subconsciously stretched out her white palms. He held the hilt of the sword.
"boom."
The Demon Suppressing Sword had already developed a rich spirituality. When Liu Weirui held it, the black flames all around him billowed, roaring around like ripples caused by throwing a stone into water.
This ripple directly propped up Gu Yan's momentum. By the time the churning fireworks were a little thinner, Liu Weirui and Murong Jing had already escaped from the predicament with the help of this sword.
"Good boy, you are making rapid progress..."
Gu Ci was secretly surprised. Mu Qing's use of the demonic flames in the sword was no longer limited to rough and powerful methods, but began to favor a meticulous approach. However, this was still not the point. The point was Mu Qing's way, which made him feel a little bit confused. do not understand.
When Mu Qing fought with Gu Yuan, he had already demonstrated various powerful abilities. After fighting him, he even showed that his body was almost as powerful as Pangu's body, and his vitality was astonishing.
Gu Ci is not the kind of person who is young and has little knowledge and contempt.
There are ten thousand ways to practice, and practicing one does not mean that the ability you master is limited to one.
But he still preconceived the idea that Mu Qing's way of cultivation and Bai Hao's way belonged to the Shura Avenue, and they took the path of tempering the physical body.
But Mu Qing's current sword awakened Gu Ci. At least Mu Qing's way was not limited to the way of Shura, but included the way of Shura, and even included the skill of integrating fire control into the way of swordsmanship.
Just sorting out the power reflected in the details would be cumbersome, not to mention making the various forces coordinate and exert more powerful power?
Gu Ci thought about this silently, and even felt that the shackles of the realm that had been motionless were a little loose.
He knew a long time ago that the ultimate goal of practicing Taoism is to "reduce complexity into simplicity". He knew that the "one" in the Tao derived all things, and he also knew that in his current state, all he needed to do was "forget" All the past moves and techniques have been eliminated and the essentials have been refined and unified.
But knowing is one thing, doing it is another.
Not only Gu Ci, but also most of his peers in the ten families will probably be stuck at this step throughout their lives.
But at this moment, after being surprised and enlightened, Gu Ci suddenly realized that what he had been pursuing for many years as a Taoist could be seen so easily in Mu Qing.
Does this mean that Mu Qing's understanding of Taoism is superior to his own?
Gu Ci doesn’t think so.
But his eyes became brighter and brighter.
The Panlong Nine Turns pioneered by their ancestors of the Gu family is a way of doing things that cannot be done with a strong will. It is the path that the great shamans of the Wu clan take to sanctify their bodies and make their souls immortal. It can be said that they are originally taking an alternative path of "becoming one". Then they, the descendants, are obsessed with blood, or are paranoid about forgetting skills. Have they forgotten the most fundamental thing?
A shuddering feeling spread from Gu Ci's spine to his whole body. Gu Ci failed to see clearly the answer he had been pursuing for his whole life, but he was the first to think of an extremely terrifying thing.
People in the Gu family today often laugh at themselves and say that everyone is despised by heaven and earth because the original group of great witches were not tolerated by heaven, so that the Gu family, which has the blood of the witch clan, has never had any innate body like other families.
Those great witches who had the power to change the world with just a single move have long since disappeared in the long river of history. Gu Ci only thought that this problem was far enough away from them in the past, but now that he thinks about it, among those great witches back then, So they are not tolerated by the way of heaven, is it because to those great witches in ancient times, they are the way.
In other words, they have grown to the point where they want to replace Tiandao?
Is that why they are not tolerated by heaven?
So as a descendant of the Wu clan, the so-called Nine-turn Dragon Method is just a compromise of blood. What should we pursue in the true way?
Is it to pursue the existing way between heaven and earth, and then struggle in the reincarnation of heaven and earth where resources are becoming increasingly scarce, or is it to be as ambitious as the great witches, to temper their own power to the extreme and replace it?
Or...like Mu Qing, has his own way?
"This is ridiculous..."
When the realm reaches the late stage of transcendence and the huge sea of consciousness becomes active, the generation of a thought will set off countless waves in the sea of consciousness. That is the moment of sudden enlightenment, which is the state of enlightenment that practitioners dream of.
The scattered gaze in Gu Ci's eyes regrouped. In his field of vision, the rolling black flames had not disappeared, which proved that time did not pass by as his thoughts were changing.
But his face had a feeling of confusion and paleness, as if he was from another world.
His chest rose and fell violently, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death battle.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Gu Yan asked. At this time, he did not continue to pursue Liu Weirui, but stayed beside Gu Ci with a solemn expression.
Gu Ci's lips moved, but he was speechless for a moment.
Even he himself couldn't figure it out, just to study Mu Qing's ability in detail, why he would enter into that weird epiphany, and this epiphany started and ended because of Mu Qing, it seemed to be clearly happening. Tell him that what Mu Qing showed just now faintly points out a new direction for the Gu family that is currently stuck in the mud.
Don't say that he wouldn't believe the old words if he said them at this time. Even if he thinks about it carefully now, he still finds it ridiculous.
Seeing Gu Ci's silence, Gu Yan moved his eyes slightly, left a "congratulations", and continued to chase forward in a flash.
"Congratulations……"
Gu Ci repeated it with some confusion. Suddenly something came to his mind and a line of sight came to him. He subconsciously turned his head to look.
When he saw Mu Qing's sharp eyes, Gu Ci's blood surged subconsciously, and the expression on his face changed to surprise and ecstasy after a moment of confusion.
This feeling is absolutely right.
The shackles of the realm that he hated so much were actually loosened. His aura now was a bit stronger than before, and there was also a hint of unspeakable obscurity.
Mu Qing looked at Gu Ci who suddenly smiled and nodded at him. His eyes were focused, and he had a rare doubt. Was this old guy's brain broken or was he wrong?
Why could he see such a sincere smile on Gu Ci's face, and why was this smile facing him?
Mu Qing could only temporarily forget about things that he couldn't figure out.
Gu Ci did not go to surround Liu Weirui and the others, which was exactly what Mu Qing wanted.
It's just that the sword he just struck condensed the power he finally mobilized. What should he do if Gu Yan catches up with the two women again?
"How about you join my Gu family?"
Mu Qing used Gu Yuan to warn Gu Ci not to act rashly. Just as he was passing through the sky on one side of Gu Ci, he could hear Gu Ci's words.
At first he thought he had heard wrong, but Gu Ci stood behind him and said with a serious face: "You have good talent and strength. Joining my Gu family is definitely better than staying in Southern Xinjiang or being a mayor in Suzaku City." Mainly it’s much better for you.”
A strong coldness flashed across Mu Qing's face. Gu Yuan, who was being held by him, also wanted to hear his answer. Just as he was admiring his expression with interest, he suddenly lost his temper and screamed in pain. Made a sound.
Mu Qing looked sideways and said, "It seems there is a reason for your thick skin."
Gu Ci was following behind. Seeing this scene, he naturally knew that Mu Qing had deliberately shown it to him.
In Gu Ci's eyes, Mu Qing was still young and vigorous, and there was no unsolvable hostility in the world. It was just that he neither understood what he wanted nor guessed what others wanted.
Satisfying each other's needs is the norm. The so-called immediate understanding of life and death, isn't this not yet to that point?
Therefore, Gu Ci rarely spoke in the cold tone that was subconsciously sarcastic before, but instead used a rare tone of equal treatment.
"So far, the damage done to Suzaku City by the three of us has been minimal, and the damage done to you... at least we haven't killed anyone yet."
"So, there is no undying hatred between us."
When Mu Qing heard this, he wanted to look up to the sky and smile. It's strange. There are hundreds of kinds of people in this world who can be liked, but why are there so many dislikes?
Why are people like Bai Hao and Gu Ci so annoying?
It is clear that one moment it was still hurting you or the person you cherish, but the next moment it can change its face and use a superior attitude to seek a situation in which everyone is happy and mutually beneficial.
Is this the moderation mentioned in those Jianghu novels and the maturity praised?
Fuck grandma!
I, Mu Qing's way, is to seek compliance with my own heart. Sooner or later, I will have to drive away people with disgusting faces like Gu Ci.
The murderous intention on Mu Qing's body came out of his body and solidified in several places around his body. Gu Ci was now at the time when his sea of consciousness was active and his perception was sharp. Seeing Mu Qing like this, he had no intention of speaking.
Seeing Gu Yan catching up with Liu Weirui again in front of him, Gu Ci's eyes narrowed slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed.
People like Mu Qing are like a stone in the mud, smelly and hard. Since there is no possibility of resolving the hatred between them, they have to find a way to keep Mu Qing in check.
Gu Ci was somewhat cooperative with Gu Yan. No matter whether Gu Yan thought about it or not, he kept doing it.
Ahead, the demon-suppressing sword was cut in a white hand, and the inscription on the sword finally dimmed, and the feeling of being plunged into the quagmire returned to Liu Weirui again.
People in the Gu family generally do not specialize in concentrating the Tao realm due to their skills and cultivation methods.
Therefore, the momentum gathered by Gu Yan was because he activated Pangu's body and used the blood of the witch clan to affect the world around him.
The higher the realm, the majestic power of blood is reflected in the air, which is their best battlefield. Even in the realm of enemies in the same realm, with the power of the Wu clan's blood, they are invincible.
Now, Gu Yan has once again trapped Liu Weirui with this "battlefield".
Liu Weirui's black hair clung to her pale cheeks. She angrily tried to break up the feeling with her demon-suppressing sword, but it became increasingly difficult to even wave her arms.
Murong Jing looked at the tired face that was only a palm away from her own, and then felt the cool breath on her waist that was still there even now, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
All the changes happened too suddenly, whether it was the Gu family or her beside them.
She came from Tiannan all night, broke the Xuanwu formation, and accompanied Mu Qing to exterminate the demons left by Bai Hao. All she wanted was to return to the small courtyard and sit down with Mu Qing as before. good.
But at this time, the wind in her ears and Liu Weirui's breathing on the side of her face clearly told her that it had become an unattainable luxury.
"Miss Liu."
"Um?"
Liu Weirui, who was hesitating whether to use the forbidden technique or not, subconsciously replied with a nasal voice.
When she lowered her gaze to look at Murong Jing, she had already realized that Murong Jing called her "Miss Liu" instead of "Wei Rui".
What happened to her?
Liu Weirui somewhat guessed Murong Jing's mood, but because she had experienced Ye Yun and Mu Qing's incident, she didn't mind Murong Jing's sudden appearance.
Murong Jing chuckled and said, "I called you Miss Liu because I felt that the situation just now was not the place for us to get to know each other, but... after we got to know each other, we finally got to know each other."
Liu Weirui said: "You... don't think too much about the matter with him. When you get better, we can have a good talk without him."
Murong Jing's clear and warm eyes reflected Liu Wei Rui's lowered face, and when Liu Wei Rui lowered her head, Murong Jing's face was clearly reflected in her autumn eyes.
The two women looked at each other and saw themselves in each other's eyes.
At this moment, the two women could at least clearly understand each other.
Murong Jing's lips were soaked with blood and lacked original blood, so when they were pressed together, they looked like two crimson flower petals touching each other.
She pursed her lips and smiled, and when they separated, her voice was full of her usual tranquility: "I minded it at first, and not long ago, but I don't know when, but I stopped thinking so."
"Weirui, you are a good girl."
Murong Jing put her head close to Liu Weirui's face and whispered: "Mu Qing probably has his worries, but this person's behavior proves that your identity is a deterrent to them, so I just want to ask you to do one thing."
Murong Jing's voice paused, and then said resolutely: "You shouldn't have fallen into this turmoil against Hidden Valley. Now that you are here, let's take Mu Qing away. I think depending on your victory or defeat, you may be able to Protect her."
Liu Weirui flatly refused: "No, we agreed to leave together, and we still have hostages in our hands."
"The hostages..." Murong Jing's eyes moved, suddenly full of self-mockery: "I thought that nothing would happen if there were hostages, but the reality at this moment has nakedly proved that only if you are strong can you do what you want to do."
Liu Weirui was originally a woman with a blue heart. When she heard Murong Jing's words that were almost like her last words, she didn't dare to go deeper, but raised her eyes to look around.
Her action made Gu Yan, who had been paying attention to everything nearby, immediately become vigilant. The reason why he didn't capture Murong Jing like a storm was because he was afraid of someone else hiding in the dark.
But an unexpected scene suddenly happened.
At the moment when Gu Yan was doing his due diligence and waiting for the secret person to show up, Gu Ci, who had seen that Gu Yan had not made any move for a long time, appeared next to the two women.
As soon as he appeared, he slapped Murong Jing in Liu Weirui's arms.
