Until he said the last word, Gu Zhongling's tone was gentle, just like a senior chatting with a junior.
And unlike other people Lu Jing had met before, he seemed to be very aware that his common sense had been distorted by the otherworld, but because of this, Lu Jing's heart sank even more.
He had just entered the academy not long ago and didn't know much about Si Tianjian's character a thousand years ago.
Naturally, he had no impression of the name Gu Zhongling, but Lu Jing knew very well that the barefoot man in front of him must have been a great figure in the world when he was alive, and an extremely powerful figure in Si Tian Prison.
So much so that the otherworld that resurrected him couldn't completely control his will.
However, tonight this man was about to become his enemy.
Gu Zhongling looked at Lu Jing with more admiration, "Very good, it's easy to talk to smart people. Mr. Gu's brother was killed by a monster. From then on, I determined to get rid of the monsters in the world and protect him." common people.
"After that, I entered the academy at the age of fourteen and completed my studies. At the age of seventeen, I entered the Sitian Prison and became a formal supervisor. I also made a group of like-minded friends. Although my brother is no longer alive, Mr. Gu has made more friends since then. Siblings.
"Therefore, I swear an oath that I will kill anyone who dares to hurt anyone in our Heavenly Prison, no matter where they are in the world!"
"But I never thought that it was Gu himself who was going to kill the academy disciples tonight. Really... things in the world are unpredictable." Gu Zhongling said with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
His smile grew bigger and bigger, until it finally turned into a loud laugh. However, there was no joy in the laughter, but only endless sadness and unwillingness.
"Senior Gu." Lu Jing couldn't help but say.
However, Gu Zhongling stretched out his hand and stopped the second half of Lu Jing's words.
"Even if I am just a shadow of my former self, I, Gu Zhongling, am a person who has never and will not deceive myself or others! Gu Zhongling has broken his oath and deserves to be punished. He only hates that he is controlled by monsters and cannot Kill yourself here immediately, and in that case, cut off one of your arms first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the silver flying sword flew out of his sleeve again, drew an arc in the air, and then slashed towards the owner's right arm without hesitation.
Cut off his entire arm from the shoulder!
The spurting blood dyed the stone mill on the side red, and Gu Zhongling's body swayed slightly, but he didn't even frown.
After a few breaths, he stretched out his hand and sealed the acupuncture point at the wound without changing his expression, stopping the bleeding.
Lu Jing, who was already stunned not far away, continued, "This is a self-punishment for breaking my oath that day. However, it is quite unfair for me to kill you later.
"It's a pity that there are few things that are more important to a person than life. I can't repay you in full. I can only make compensation. Please take a few steps forward."
Gu Zhongling waved to Lu Jing.
Lu Jing knew that the opponent's flying sword was powerful and that the closer he got, the more dangerous he was. However, he didn't hesitate when he heard this and stepped forward.
Gu Zhongling whispered three hundred words into Lu Jing's ear, then looked into Lu Jing's eyes and asked, "Do you remember?"
"No." Lu Jing smiled bitterly, "Senior Gu, is your sword control a magic? I'm a newcomer and haven't learned anything related yet. I don't know the meaning of many of the words you said. I'm afraid I'll remember them wrong. I’ll practice Chinese characters later.”
"…………"
"Then I'll write it down, and you can memorize it carefully. If you can survive this way, you can go back to the academy to practice." After Gu Zhongling finished speaking, the silver flying sword flew out of his sleeve again, and then he carved a cultivation method on the ground. .
Said to be sword-controlling, there are actually two parts. Most of the first part is about sword-raising, and only the second half is about sword-controlling.
Lu Jing was naturally confused when he saw it, but at least this time he wrote down everything inside verbatim.
At the same time, he was also secretly frightened by Gu Zhongling's sword-wielding skills.
The practice method on the ground was engraved in small regular script. The characters were not big, but every stroke was not messy at all, which showed that Gu Zhongling had mastered the flying sword like an arm.
After Lu Jing finished reading them all, he memorized them again.
Gu Zhongling waved his sleeves and erased all those three hundred words.
But at this time, another hoarse voice came from the other side, "Brother Gu..."
Jing Xiang, who was as motionless as a sculpture, had resumed his movements at some point. However, he only opened his mouth and uttered three words, and his face burst into tears when he looked at Gu Zhongling's broken arm.
Gu Zhongling himself didn't take it seriously. He just smiled at Jingxiang, just like when they were working on cases together in Sitian Prison, "Your skills have deteriorated a lot recently. It took you so long to do it." Got rid of my immobilization spell.”
Jing Xiang wiped away the tears on his cheeks when he heard this, "Yes, I have lived here for too long, and I haven't had a knife in almost ten years..."
"You have seen a lot of joys and sorrows in the past ten years, have you ever figured it out?"
Gu Zhongling's tone was like enlightening a naughty younger brother.
Ixiang was silent after hearing this.
"We in Sitian Prison have been dealing with strange creatures all our lives, and we should understand their dangers better than anyone else in the world. You want to use another cave to resurrect me. This idea is good, and I can feel it in your heart. But after all... I still did something wrong."
At this point, Gu Zhongling's tone gradually became stern, "It is the law of heaven that a dead person cannot be resurrected. You know that I hate monsters the most in my life, but you still use monsters to forcefully change the law of heaven and bring me back, even if But in this world, have you ever thought about the resentment in my heart?
"I..." Iugao hasn't defended himself yet. Just listen to Gu Zhongling continue.
"In order to let me live in such a ridiculous way, you also lived in a different cave for ten years. You are so stupid that you have trapped me in injustice again! And you think you have a plan, but you don't think that everything has a cause and effect.
"You created the cause in the past, but have you ever thought about getting back the results you have today? Not only did it harm you and me, but it also affected the academy disciples thousands of years later! Jingxiang, Jingxiang, you have forgotten your true nature when you joined Si Tianjian Are you worried?"
Jing Nao was scolded and was speechless. His face was full of shame. He wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know where to start.
But Gu Zhongling's originally stern expression gradually softened, and he spoke warmly to his former colleague.
"But no one is perfect, even saints will make mistakes. The important thing is to examine yourself after making mistakes and correct them in time. If you still think that you are a prisoner of Si Tian Prison, you should know what you should do next. .”
As he spoke, he turned his eyes to Lu Jing aside, "You are the same. Although you are only a student in the academy, you are still considered a member of our Tianjian. Besides, if you want to survive, you must do this. No."
After saying that, he stretched out his remaining hand and made a gesture of invitation. At the same time, he smiled and said, "Please, please kill me."
