[Douluo Dalu] He and the sea

It was raining and the sky was still dark. The clouds and fog had been gloomy for a long time, but they still did not reveal any clear color.

In the tea house, the wooden door with streaks of moisture stained by the raindrops is now wide open. The room with the fire is warm and smoky, and the moisture on each guest is smoothed away bit by bit, and then lining the tea room. With a cup of sweet-smelling tea, you feel a rare sense of relaxation.

I don't know how long I have been sitting there. It is almost noon, but the person who is supposed to come still hasn't come.

Gu Xiu was sitting by the window, still wearing the dark cloak, sitting in a place with slightly lighter light. On a rainy day, the sky was dark. This kind of light and color, which was difficult to clear, made him more lonely and desolate, which made it difficult for people to understand. near.

The waiter and the shopkeeper looked at him for a long time in the front hall. Business people are most afraid of getting into trouble with weird people. Seeing Gu Xiu dressed like this, they sat there for more than an hour and drank half of the pot of tea. As time went by, he began to feel more and more like he was not a good person.

But neither of them opened their mouths to chase him away. After all, in this weather, there were not many customers in the store, and there was no need for them to rush to spit out the chicken that had entered their mouths.

How can you be that stupid!

The shopkeeper sighed, shook his head, winked at the waiter, and signaled him not to disturb him.

The latter shrank his neck and nodded hurriedly, indicating that he understood.

In this way, Gu Xiu was automatically blocked by the two. They didn't startle or disturb him, and they didn't look at him secretly anymore.

Time passed neither too slowly nor too fast, the wind blew outside the window, and the rain jumped in through the wooden lattice, and after a while, half of Gu Xiu's cloak was wet.

"... "

He raised his eyes slightly and looked beyond the thin curtain of rain waterfall. Gu Xiu put down the tea cup between his fingers with an expressionless face, and then looked far away at the alley in front of him.

There was pattering all over the ground and constant noise. Against the background of these noises, he became increasingly quiet and taciturn, just like the landscape in a mural. Although he had a unique character, he was indifferent and tasteless.

In the alleyway where the sound of rain mixed with the sound, a bright light that did not match the darkness suddenly appeared.

At the same time, Gu Xiu's eyes suddenly darkened, and a ripple appeared on his originally calm face.

After being away for a long time, the man's sword intention has not changed at all.

Still as sharp and eye-catching...

The sound of the tea cup kissing the table was neither loud nor quiet, but it coincided with the sound of rain that was slowed down by half a beat, so it appeared very clear in the quiet room.

Both the shopkeeper and the waiter froze, and before they even blinked, they saw Gu Xiu's figure standing at the door.

Immediately afterwards, a Gintama coin fell to the checkout table, spun around in a circle, and lay flat without moving again.

After being stunned for a while, the shopkeeper put the Gintama coin into his money bag, then ran to the door and peeked out.

Tsk tsk tsk, which great power is this?

Jumping so fast...

In the distance, the wind passed without leaving a trace, and the rain was particularly heavy. The high white walls and black and green bricks looked particularly harmonious in the surrounding environment of dense clouds and mist.

Taji - Taji -

The sound made by the cowhide boots after stepping in the puddle was like a loud beating drum head. The hammer did not stop, and the sound did not stop either. It clanged against each other in the empty alley, seeming to beat these people away. The trap built by white walls and black bricks was shattered in one fell swoop, revealing its eerie illusion.

The corners of his robe were slightly damp. Gu Xiu half-closed his eyes and lightly pinched his fingers. A green-white smoke floated on his body, silently blocking the raindrops outside the cloak.

After walking about ten steps, I saw thorns.

After the familiar figure of the man came into view, Gu Xiu's eyes widened, his eyelashes fluttered, and his words moved slightly: "Why are you here."

The words were calm as usual, but there was no hint of coolness at all. Instead, they were rare and gentle.

After hearing his words, Gu Qi raised his eyebrows, and several dark rays of light flew across his eyes very quickly. Covered by the rain and fog, they quietly escaped under the dark eyes.

"I'm here...to carry out Bibi Dong's orders."

As soon as these words fell, the wind and rain suddenly curled up in the sky, roaring violently between the two people.

Gu Xiu frowned slightly, and a deep groove formed between his forehead. He looked at Gu Qi with complicated eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said, "If this is true, why did you fall into the trap?" Killing order?"

"... "

Gu Qi did not answer, but instead raised the corners of his lips to reveal a faint smile, which was as fleeting as the moonlight.

"Did you take her away?" Gu Xiu stared at him closely with some doubts, and then asked in pursuit: "Is it you?"

"She?" Gu Qi suddenly chuckled, his eyes were as bright as night, he blinked innocently, and under the cover of a few strands of mist, he actually revealed his innocence like a child: "Brother, which one Why do you miss someone so much for no reason?"

After saying this, without waiting for Gu Xiu's reaction or answer, he continued casually: "Is it possible that you have forgotten Ayi?"

When he said this, Gu Qi glanced sideways, as if he didn't care about Gu Xiu's reaction, and cast his gaze from a distance into the rainy and foggy sky ten feet away, as if he didn't even notice that the relationship between the two suddenly cooled down. atmosphere of.

The old things that had been squeezed in his heart for many years were brought up again. Gu Xiu clenched his fists, frowned slightly, and his expression became a little indifferent.

"So you still remember her."

Somehow, an invisible spark suddenly exploded in his ears. Gu Qi's heart was slightly shaken by the spark. His steps couldn't help but slow down, and the smile on his lips also stopped for a moment.

The raindrops in front of him were still dense, beating on his body without any trace. Gu Qi gathered his mind, breathed calmly, and calmed down to clear up a lot of those blank thoughts.

It was as if he was peeling off his own bones with his own hands, without any hesitation or attachment, and he started with no regrets.

But after peeling it off, at this moment, he suddenly felt that the fake smile he had tried so hard to pull out became meaningless.

Just like the fame, wealth, power and position gained over the years, they are gradually becoming grayer and lighter, just like the towering mountains have finally lost their greenery, leaving only a roll of clothing.

I don't know when he started to look like this.

"Of course I remember her."

His mind was so chaotic that he had no intention of maintaining those so-called appearances. For a moment, he just wanted to get a result quickly and completely free himself.

The so-called pendant falls from the sky, the fish drowns in the abyss, and all the magnificence that the world calls it is just a long and heroic exit.

While his thoughts were racing, Gu Qi protracted his tone, his face as calm as a dry lake, as if the next words were just his unintentional actions: "Her every disaster was all planned by me. How could I not remember her..."

Before he had finished speaking, Gu Qi could clearly feel the chill in the air, but he was not surprised at all, as if he had expected it. After sighing leisurely, he continued to spit out words, regardless of this. The combination of words will bring great consequences, just do it arbitrarily: "Gu Xiu, if I say that all the deaths you suffered back then were caused by me, would you believe it?"

This time, he did not call his brother, but directly read the other person's name. The flames that were still warm between the two people were extinguished in an instant after these words of alienation. It was both quick and ruthless, making Gu Xiu's already slightly cracked mood suddenly felt a thorn in his side.

He couldn't help but clench his knuckles in pain...

Gu Xiu took a deep breath, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, then raised his eyes again. The blood in his pupils was like a fine net mottled beside his pupils, and his blood surged up, even to his forehead. A few veins popped out.

After being away for more than ten years, he never thought that the person who would let this kind of pain enter his heart again would be his biological brother.

"Do you know...what are you talking about?"

One word after another, less than a cross, Gu Xiu seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

"Of course I know." Gu Qi smiled coldly, his voice was clear, he seemed to be recounting memories, his expression was extremely serious, but this change in his expression fell into the eyes of another person, but it was like a sharp knife. Digging into the heart mercilessly.

"I have done too many things. As early as Ayi's identity was exposed, and as late as she sacrificed for you, all of these things were actually my handiwork."

As he said that, Gu Qi suddenly laughed again, his brows were as warm as if they were filled with sunshine, and he was very cheerful: "Do you still remember those two chains of fire that penetrated her pipa bones?"

"... "

Hearing this, Gu Xiu's body swayed, and he looked at Gu Qi in disbelief. It seemed that the person opposite him was very strange, not at all familiar to him.

"Besides me, who else in the Spirit Hall can make pure fire?"

Moreover, the iron chain calcined with fine fire will firmly lock Roy's soul power, making it difficult for her to resist and unable to break free.

"Not only that..." Gu Qi lowered his eyelashes, and the distinct black feathers slightly cast a shadow on his face. His expression was that innocent mask again: "She Why do you have such a hoarse voice, why were your whereabouts along the way exposed, how did the Meng family and Wuhun Palace come to visit you, all of this was done by me, your good brother Gu Qi."

Boom————

There was a loud noise, and the square inch of sky above the head suddenly changed color. Countless black clouds rolled in, covering the swirling leaden gray with overwhelming force.

This rain is getting colder and colder.

The chill lingered, and the corners of Gu Qi's lips curled up. He looked up at the gradually changing sky, and then he looked at Gu Xiu with a relaxed expression.

"I've never been a good person. She knows this, but it's a pity..."

He extinguished the light with his own hands.

Frost was floating in the sky, ice was streaked with snow, and the turbulent wind was rushing past like a whirlpool, leaving only an afterimage on the thin and crystal clear ice.

The sword realm had only been slightly opened, but it was already so cold that it penetrated the bones and penetrated the muscles.

Gu Qi slowly exhaled hot breath, and then saw the white mist being swallowed up by the chill that swept up and turned into tiny snowflakes.

"Your Qingzhao has become much sharper after being broken once."

Gu Qi paused for a moment, rubbing his knuckles against the pads of his fingers in his palm sleeves. He seemed to be thinking about something, his features were like clouds and mountains, hiding all his charm.

"I can be considered as avenging Ayi. The two people who used fire chains to pierce her bones..." He smiled cruelly, his eyebrows widening: "I didn't spare any of them."

After saying this, the mirror surface cracked and shattered, and the fireworks that had been suppressed for a long time finally burst out at this moment. Under the guidance of some ulterior motives, they were unstoppable and blended tightly with the cold wind.

The two brothers shot out their hands almost at the same moment. The cold light was deep and faint, and the flowing fire was overwhelming and fierce. It was like a sharp sword and a tempered blade facing each other tit for tat. Each of them was fierce and fierce, refusing to give in to the other.

The two men's cloaks were all torn apart by the opponent's sword, and then they were torn by the strong wind, and they were pressed into the puddles with one palm.

Without the cover of the cloak, the raindrops swarmed over and hit him one after another.

There seemed to be warmth dripping down his cheeks.

Gu Xiu clenched his fists tightly, and the last bit of warmth in his eyes quietly passed away.

What then tugged at the heartstrings was the wind and snow that was even colder than the sword realm.

The rainbow light was white and slanted through the rain with a coldness. The green-white long sword suddenly appeared and spread out beside Gu Xiu. After a moment, it clung to his arm perversely. By the side.

The sword moved with his heart, and every time Gu Xiu's mood rose and fell, his hair was buzzing and trembling.

Zheng————

There was a sound of swords in the distance, and the coldness like a waterfall was slightly mixed with a little heat.

Gu Xiu stood silently, with a gloomy expression, as if he didn't hear anything and didn't react at all.

But the difference is that Qing Zhuo seems to be affected. The cold light around her body suddenly rises, like a blue-white lotus swaying in the pond. It seems to be very happy.

This is the first time that Qing Zhuo and Gu Xiu have different intentions.

"... "

Gu Xiu pursed his lips. After being torn apart by someone, the wound in his heart was now so numb that there was no pain.

This is the reality, and it is also the same among their brothers.

Some people forget the friendship between each other, but the sword remembers it.

Swords don't understand people's hearts. What Qing Zhuo remembers is the night training more than ten years ago, not the current Gu Qi.

Gu Xiu stared at the man coldly, moved his fingertips slightly, and grasped it into his palm after a clear trembling.

Scattered black light was like scattered clouds, rolling along the whirlpool of the cold wind, setting off a cold wave like a sea wave, flying several feet high, dragging the rain and mist to catch the wind, and ran over together.

Gu Qi suddenly smiled, and the red long sword stood in front of him without moving like a mountain. The fiery sword intent continued to expand, like an inflated ball. It exploded as soon as it hit the biting cold wave. A mixture of hot and cold sword energy.

Zheng————

There was another sword cry, which seemed very close in the cold and hot cyclone. Xiao Lian trembled inadvertently, and the firelight dimmed, as if someone had deliberately blown it down.

The distance continued to shorten, and before he knew it, Gu Qi had already deviated from the original spot.

The two swords were facing each other, hot and cold, and he suddenly felt that he couldn't hold it anymore.

Half the life is spent planning, the other half is thinking about it.

The cause of the clock that he had made with his own hands had finally... ushered in today's result.

Cold and heat were still repelling each other, and the thick white mist, like the silvery glow of the moon at zenith, finally reflected in his eyes.

With a distance of two arms, the opponent would definitely not be able to sheath the sword.

Therefore, when he saw Xiao Lian disappearing into Gu Qi's palm, the green-white sword light had already penetrated the clouds like a snowy rainbow, and followed the sword body into his chest.

The hot temperature melted the cold light, and the clear light turned into a blue-white sword light silently, and fled away.

A muffled groan rang in his ears, and the man about the same height as himself fell down. Gu Xiu was stunned, subconsciously stretched out his hand, and half-knelt with him on the rainy ground.

The icy coldness followed the soaked fabric, all the way up from his knees, wrapping his whole body. Gu Xiu moved his lips, but found that his throat was dry from the cold, and his heartstrings were tugged at. Especially cracked.

"I'm so tired..."

Gu Qi lowered his neck, still complaining as before, with a somewhat successful smile between his brows and eyes.

"I completed Bibi Dong's order."

The salty smell of blood lingered between his lips and teeth. He had always hated this smell.

"The fatwa...you don't have to worry about it anymore in the future. As for the child...she is at the poisonous old monster."

With a little moisture on his lips, Gu Qi looked down at the dripping raindrops on the ground, watching the drops of blood dyeing the originally colorless water into bright red.

In a daze, he raised his eyes, his eyes were misty, and in the faint clouds, he seemed to see the moon half-covered, the vast blue of the land and the sea.

In the vague sight, the expression of that person's eyebrows and eyes seemed to be visible from afar.

She always had a smile on her face, and even when he visited her for the first time after being imprisoned, she didn't show any signs of panic or despair.

That's right, he never saw or got what he wanted from her.

"I can't help her..."

The boulder that had been hanging in his heart for many years finally fell to the ground. Gu Qi felt that his strength had lost a lot. He opened his eyes, still lingering in the light and shadow where the smoke and clouds had not dispersed.

"But I have no regrets..."

Before the stars and under the moon, after the drifting wind returned to the snow, her facial features and voice suddenly became much more vivid.

Gu Qi half-closed his eyelashes and suppressed the sourness and pain in his heart: "Martial Soul Hall has conspired with pirates...remember to protect the sea area..."

He had been searching for several years, but this information was still of some use.

After all, this was the place that person wanted to return to the most.

The sky was slightly dark, Gu Xiu was holding his arm, and he could only hear the sound of words that were sometimes heavy and sometimes soft in his ears, which made his eyes clear for a moment.

"Bibi Dong won't touch you for a while...brother...for the sake of yourself and the child."

Whether it was because of the color of the sky or because he could no longer see clearly, Gu Qi closed his eyes and let himself follow the cool sea breeze when all the strength in his body was blown away by the wind.

The pouring autumn rain was still pouring, but some puddles suddenly appeared on the horizon.

For a moment, the body in his arms became colder and colder. Gu Xiu raised his head, facing the cool drizzle, letting the heat in his eyes vent freely.

From then on, there was no place to live in the mountains and rivers of the world.
