Sealing Sword

He Lianyu breathed the last breath into his dantian, then heaved a sigh of relief and opened his eyes.

The blood in his hands was already cold, he got up and kicked away the dead body beside him, put on a heavy ultraviolet robe and pushed open the stone door, the dark corridor outside was dark, only the bloodstains on the cave wall were illuminated by the bean lamp.

There was no sign of any guards along the way, only the peculiar restlessness and rustling of human animals came from the dark, these things were more useful than any watchdog, and there was no need to worry about stabbing him when he was retreating.

It has been the seventh day since we left Wenchan Mountain. There are hidden stakes placed in the Baidao to guide the wind direction to buy time, and Xiao Yangu sacrificed the last two "stand-ins" to change their appearances. Most of the pursuers are heading towards You Chuan and Luocheng flocked, but they didn't know that the most terrifying demon had already dressed lightly, took the hidden deep stream at the foot of Wenchan Mountain, and rushed all the way at night. Zongling.

As the news of his fall into Wenchan Mountain came out, there was a turmoil in the Demonic Dao, even if Li Feng was in charge, it would be difficult to suppress the prying eyes from all directions, not to mention that the Baidao coalition forces would arrive soon, the Burial Soul Palace seemed to be forced to the edge of a cliff, Either soar into the sky, or fall into the abyss.

He Lianyu's return didn't alarm anyone, he asked Xiao Yangu to secretly place his entourage into various guard posts, and then secretly contacted "Viper" to set up a net around Broken Soul Cliff, while he quietly entered the Weeping Blood Cave He took the four Bai Dao warriors captured on the road to practice and heal their injuries. After twelve hours, they were able to stabilize the inner strength of the rioting "Thousand Tribulation Kung Fu".

However... His eyes were dark, but it wasn't enough.

"Thousand Tribulations" is like an insatiable evil beast. With every level of realm, the desire for the blood of warriors becomes stronger and stronger. He Lianyu never suppresses himself, but he doesn't like being madly occupied. Feeling, after all, losing your sobriety is tantamount to driving yourself to a dead end.

The qi and blood of ordinary warriors can no longer satisfy him, He Lianyu urgently needs to absorb a strong and neutral internal force to balance the true qi in his body, but there are too few such people.

So little, once he moved his hand, he would never find another one.

"This subordinate welcomes the Palace Master to leave the customs!" Xiao Yangu, who was guarding outside the passage, saw him coming out, immediately knelt down on one knee and bent her back, and saw the pair of blood-stained moiré satin boots stop in front of her.

"Is there any change in the mountains this day?"

Xiao Yangu didn't raise her head, and said the information quickly: "Master Li's Thunder cut the mess with a sharp knife. Although the disciples of the Buried Soul Palace have people's hearts, none of them dare to make mistakes. exist……"

"All killed."

Xiao Yan was stunned, and then heard Helian Yu's voice from above her head: "Although it is an eternal truth that 'the trees fall and the monkeys scatter, and the walls fall and everyone pushes them', but since I, Helian Yu, are back, the Burial Soul Palace It’s not a place where they can come and go as they please.”

"..." The chill behind Xiao Yan's bones was fleeting, she lowered her head and responded, "Yes, this subordinate will contact Palace Master Li, cut off the tongues of those spies, and send their heads back to their respective sects. Know the truth of 'disaster comes from the mouth'."

He Lianyu looked at her figure crouching at her feet, as if looking at a good obedient dog: "Yangu, you and I have been with me for more than ten years, you are smart enough to be just right."

Xiao Yangu said: "The cultivation of the palace master, Yangu dare not forget."

"Then I told you to kill the man you like, do you still remember?" He Lianyu smiled slightly, "That year you said that you didn't want to be a hacker, but you wanted to retire with the man you saved and be a fairy couple , and I disagree, do you... remember how you did it?"

Xiao Yangu's voice didn't fluctuate at all: "I killed him, turned my head back to see the palace master, and then took charge of the White Tiger Palace until now."

"I remember the way you looked at him, you really love him, why did you do it?" Helian Yu said with a smile, "You really, don't you hate me?"

"It's because the subordinates are incompetent, they don't have the ability to protect themselves and get what they want. In the final analysis, it is he who tempted me and became my stumbling block. The palace master asked me to kill him. From then on, we can get rid of our weaknesses and abandon our innocence. Only then can we become what we are today." Xiao Yangu." She said in a low voice, "Palace Master's teachings are engraved in my heart; Palace Master's rules are never forgotten by Yangu."

Helian Yuyue felt a little melancholy: "What do you think is loving someone?"

Xiao Yangu was stunned for a moment, and finally raised her head to look at He Lianyu, and found that this moody devil had a confused expression at this moment.

He quietly waited for Xiao Yangu's answer, or he was thinking about it by himself. Xiao Yangu hesitated for a moment and said: "The so-called love of ordinary people should be gentle, appropriate, thoughtful and meticulous. In order to make the other party happy, you can do everything you can." One is vigorous and vigorous, and the other will last forever."

"Really..." He Lianyu's gaze was a little far away, "If you say it like this, I have also received 'love'."

A smile appeared on his face, but Xiao Yangu was inexplicably chilled. She couldn't imagine who would dare to give this cold-hearted devil caring and deep love, let alone...He Lianyu would talk about this in such a nostalgic tone. one person.

She asked subconsciously: "Then, does the palace master also love each other?"

"Of course I love him, and it hasn't changed from then to now." Helian Yu lowered his eyelids, "It's just that I have a different opinion from yours. In my opinion, giving or sacrificing is a stupid act, even the last one If people get happiness, it doesn’t belong to me, so what’s the point?”

After a pause, he raised his feet and walked forward. Xiao Yangu only heard a cold voice: "If I love someone, I must have it. Even if he uses all means to plunder, destroy and destroy, he can only Keep it in my hands, even if... your body will be smashed to pieces."

"..."

When his figure completely disappeared from her eyes, Xiao Yangu still didn't dare to get up, she had never been so clearly aware that He Lianyu was a lunatic.

The lunatic went all the way into the deepest part of the Weeping Blood Cave.

This secret room has been sealed off for thirteen years since the design of Gu Yufang's game. Even the half-broken knife embedded in the stone wall is still there.

Duanqing sat under the half blade, leaning his back against the cold rock, crossed his legs and closed his eyes, like a solidified stone statue.

He heard Helian Yu's deliberately heavy footsteps, but there was no reaction, and the latter also stood quietly watching from a distance.

As time passed, He Lianyu's patience finally ran out. He raised the corners of his lips maliciously, and asked, "Master, are you happy to return to your hometown after 13 years?"

Seeing that Duanqing didn't answer, he laughed again: "You came a step late back then, and didn't see how Gu Jianfang was nailed here by his good apprentice with a knife, and then Duan Ren escaped and pushed open the stone door with his hands to escape , huh...it is said that the human heart is made of flesh, how much should she be hurt at that time?"

Duanqing opened her eyes, a pair of pupils completely turned blood-soaked red, with Helian Yu's shadow reflected in them.

"That's the look..." He Lianyu approached him step by step, and his tone was very nostalgic, "That day when you carried her out of Mizong Ridge, you looked at me like this. , Without Gu Xiao's concern, are you going to sleep with me until death on that day?"

He knelt down on one knee in front of Duanqing, gently stroked the cinnabar mole at the corner of the white-haired Daochang's eye with his finger, with a pitiful look: "Master, do you really have the heart?"

The temperature from his fingertips was not like that of a living person at all. He Lianyu almost thought that he had touched a corpse that had been frozen for many years. He looked at the appearance of the white-haired Taoist priest and smiled with satisfaction: "After so many years, you still With this look, it doesn't matter if your hair is white, just smile and coax me like you did before."

"Then, as before, was you poisoned and stabbed?"

Duanqing finally spoke, he raised his left arm and brushed away Helian Yu's hand, and slowly stood up while supporting the cave wall with his right hand.

When he got up, the faint candlelight reflected a black iron chain around his waist, the end of which was connected to the mechanism in the cave wall, as long as it was pulled more than three feet, the thin rope hidden behind would be torn off, and then he would exit. Closed and shot in the back, but the white-haired Taoist leader is unarmed.

He Lianyu pretended to be sad and said: "The old account of more than 30 years ago, why can't the master ignore the fault of the villain and let the disciple go?"

"I'm not your master." Duan Qing said, "For the hundreds of lives involved, even if Mu Qingshang is still here, I won't let you go."

He Lianyu laughed immediately: "I'm now the one to blame for the bloody crime I committed? Daoist, it's so unreasonable."

"He made the move, but you set up the trap." Duan Qing looked straight into Helian Yu's eyes, "The one who made the move apologized with death, so what if the culprit set up the trap?"

He Lianyu's eyes turned cold: "You keep saying 'he' is dead, so who are you?"

While speaking, he couldn't help but look at Duanqing carefully, except for the white hair and the expression on his face, the person in front of him was the same as Mu Qingshang in his memory, but the more He Lianyu looked at it, the more startled he became.

40 years ago, he and Mu Qingshang got the "Thousand Tribulation Kung Fu" secret book, and the latter burned the magic kung fu on the spot, but he didn't know that He Lianyu had already memorized that book of martial arts with his photographic memory before that. Come down; 38 years ago, He Lianyu secretly practiced "Thousand Tribulation Kung Fu" and started to achieve success, but was discovered by Mu Qingshang. His master, who had always been gentle and tolerant to him, was angry for the first time, and was almost crippled for the few unknown soldiers who were arrested by him to practice. 36 years ago, with the secret support of He Lianjue, he made great progress in the cultivation of "Thousand Tribulation Gong", and reached the peak of the fourth level at the age of not reaching the weak crown. Shen Yanyan started the action of uniting the collaterals against the main family; 35 years ago, the civil strife in the Helian family officially broke out. For the evil deeds, the relationship between the two of them must either be cleaned up, or a clean break will be made, no matter which ending he does not want.

Thus, there was the chain layout 34 years ago.

At that time, Mu Qingshang was furious because he practiced "Thousand Tribulations" and offered to return to Master Helian's house. There had been no communication between master and apprentice for nearly a year. When the news came, he still rushed over thousands of miles away.

Mu Qingshang didn't care whether the Helian family existed or not, but he valued his disciples and the innocent children among them. He had promised Helianjue in the past, and if there was a catastrophe in Mi Zongling one day, he would be a bloodline of the Helian family. Don't hesitate to break into Mizong Ridge.

Except for Helian Yu, Helian's master's house was still at that time from the moat outside the mountain to the forbidden place, Duanhun Cliff. Mu Qingshang came in step by step with a sword, and his men were alive and dead. He fell, but he didn't know that the person he wanted to save was watching from afar on the high cliff, chatting and laughing happily with Helian Chen with a jug of fine wine in his hand; The sword swept all directions with open spears and hidden arrows, but at the moment when He Lianyu was released from the bondage, the dagger was almost pierced through the heart.

It was a pity that He Lianyu was knocked away by a little bitch whose name he couldn't remember, otherwise, that sword would have kept Mu Qingshang forever, instead of seeing that person put up all his strength and staggered away Mizong Ridge.

However, he couldn't help laughing after regretting it. The poisonous blood of Lihen Gu that had been tempered on the short sword would at most cause toxicity to ordinary people, but for Mu Qingshang who was carrying longevity Gu, it was the opening of the prison. of a key.

So what?He thought so in his heart, wait for your longevity Gu to explode, wait for you to become the most despised lunatic in the past, wait for you to kill innocent people and become a public enemy... You still have to come back, because only I will give you a way out .

He Lianyu felt that he was such a person who had a clear distinction between love and hatred. Mu Qingshang caused him to lose his mother, and he ruined his reputation; Mu Qingshang raised him for nearly ten years, and he gave him a chance to survive. Wouldn't it be better for a high-ranking person to go from the Tao to the devil and sink into happiness with himself than to be a hard-working hero in the so-called righteous way?

On the day when the Nandi massacre was reported, Helian Yu laughed out loud in the Weeping Blood Cave and drank a whole jar of wine.

However, Mu Qingshang did not come back.

He actually forcibly suppressed himself after losing control for the first time, and went straight into the deep mountains without knowing where he was going. He Lianyu asked people to track him down, but he was not reconciled, and changed into exactly the same clothes as Mu Qingshang. Putting on the imitated mask and long sword, he entered the village near the massacre that night and started a three-day massacre.

The Shuiyun swordsmanship that Mu Qingshang spent so much effort to teach him has become the most inescapable evidence of crime.

After three days and three nights of killing Helian Yu, he was rescued by Helian Chen in front of Wulin Baidao who came to stop him, and then transformed into Mu Yan'an, who understood righteousness, and went to the martial arts conference to plead guilty for his teacher, as a mountainous Witnesses, even using the gold order stolen from Mu Qingshang, and the old things he inquired about from Master Helian's family as the final help, finally pushed this person to the cusp of criticism.

From then on, the sword is not as good as before, and the people are not as good as before.

He Lianyu didn't know who Mu Qingshang was rescued by and where he was recuperating, but he knew that with the other party's temperament, when he became a public enemy of the world, he would never live in a corner and drag his friends down. Naturally, there are a lot of people trying to force Mu Qingshang out.

Once he becomes a tired bird with nowhere to escape, he will eventually enter the cage and return to the nest as he wishes.

It took him half a year to finally push that person to a desperate situation. The front was pointed by the blade, and the back was the abyss of hundreds of feet.

Regardless of his own safety, Mu Yan'an, who "killed relatives with righteousness", stepped forward to persuade the master who had gone astray. In fact, he looked at the embarrassed Mu Qingshang and said with a smile: "Master, take a good look at these people, they can forgive you" 'My dear me, but no matter how many right things you have done, as long as you are wrong, it is unforgivable. What is the use of you insisting on so-called justice for them? No one will listen to your explanation, let alone risk the world. I'm not on your side...Only I, at this time, will be willing to fight against the situation for you, you and I will go back to Mizong Ridge, and everything from the past will be wiped out, okay?"

He moved forward step by step, and Mu Qingshang, who had lost his grip on the Poyun Sword, retreated step by step.

However, He Lianyu finally grabbed the sword, but he could only see the man turn around and jump, jumping off the high cliff without looking back.

He only heard Mu Qingshang's last words - "Anything I do, I don't do it for anyone or anything, just to make myself an upright person."

Mu Qingshang, who broke through the clouds with a sword, no matter how gentle and benevolent his nature is, there is that sword in his bones, he would rather bend than bend, if he can't live with a clear body, he is willing to die with the only body left.

"At that time, I personally led people to search under the cliff for two days, but the current at the bottom was too fast, and the river course twisted and diverged. I didn't know where you were washed away until a corpse was salvaged from the bottom of one of the rivers. He Lianyu stared at Duanqing, "The corpse has been swollen and festered, and it has become unrecognizable. I barely thought it was you based on the clothes and bones. I brought it back to Mizong Ridge for burial, but I didn't expect to see you three years later." You are with Gu Yaofang... Now, if you say you are not him, is it not a resurrected water ghost?"

Duanqing remained silent, and He Lianyu softened his tone again: "Master, I know you are hard-pressed about these things, but you have to consider from my standpoint, I am in the devil's way, if I don't kill people, I will hurt you." Myself, don’t you want to be happy to see me die? The past has been going on for so long, and it’s impossible to bring those people back to life if you can’t let go of it. You and I, master and apprentice, have missed it for so many years. Take the remnants of life? Disciple is willing to admit his mistakes, but you have to give me a chance to make amends, instead of vetoing the past and not wanting to recognize me."

Duanqing suddenly laughed.

He was always quiet and bored, even when he was with Gu Yaofang, he rarely smiled when he was emotionally involved, not to mention that after 13 years of being imprisoned on the wall of confession and comprehending "The Promise", he almost became sad and joyless If it weren't for the fact that the current exercises have gone astray and the state of mind is loose, I am afraid that it would be impossible to even smile.

So this laugh is not pleasant, but it is ironic.

He Lianyu clenched his remaining five fingers displeased: "What are you laughing at?"

Duanqing asked softly: "Do you know why Mu Qingshang was able to suppress the poison in his body back then?"

Helian Yu narrowed his eyes, this was something he hadn't figured out all along, and now he couldn't help holding his breath.

The next moment, a strong wind came suddenly, and Duanqing's right hand flexed his fingers and clawed towards his throat. He Lianyu had only seen such force, speed, and strange position in his life. He missed a hand and faced the thunder. With one blow, he could only retreat in embarrassment, narrowly escaped a distance of three feet, Fang Jue had blood dripping on his neck, and Zhifeng scratched his neck from the air, and if he went deeper, his throat would be severed.

A chill rose from Helian Yu's back, he looked at the right hand with the bent claw, and said in disbelief: "Sura's hand?! You—"

"When he discovered that you had practiced the "Thousand Tribulation Gong" to the fourth level, if you want to abolish it, you have to abolish your dantian, and ruin your life from now on. I finally found the handwriting left by the patriarch, which contains the "Thousand Tribulations" mental method." Duanqing stretched his fingers, and said lightly, "If you want to preserve your dantian Qihai, you must have a fellow practitioner "Wuji" People from "Thousand Calamity Gong" and "Thousand Tribulation Gong" act as crossing bodies, pouring their own infinite true energy into your body to protect the dantian of the heart, and at the same time use the inner strength of "Thousand Tribulation Gong" in your body to force your internal force into the body, and reverse it. Only by facing each other can you dissipate this force, although you lose the true energy of the "Thousand Calamity Kung Fu" afterwards, you will gain the internal power of the "Wuji Kung Fu", and his whole body power will be wiped out, and he will become a cripple with all his meridians cut off."

He Lianyu's pupils shrank suddenly, and his clenched left hand trembled unconsciously: "You... what did you say?"

"One mind is one thought. How to train the two contradictory internal forces well? So, he left a letter for seven consecutive nights, begging me for help." Duan Qing chuckled, "The only time in his life is also the last time. I begged me once, but I wanted to abolish ourselves in order to save you."

After a pause, he looked at Helian Yu: "I don't like you, but I was born because of him, and I want to pay him back, so I promised him."

There are only two main points in the conflict of exercises, one is the inheritance of the meridians, and the other is the holding of the mind. If a person has seven orifices in the heart, it is difficult to achieve it, but Mu Qingshang has more than one thought.

Duanqing was originally formed by the influence of Longevity Gu, and his nature is fierce. Practicing "Thousand Calamity Kungfu" will get twice the result with half the effort, while Mu Qingshang insists on practicing "Wuji Kungfu" to suppress the growing fierceness in his body, and at the same time bear the impact of true energy Meridian pain.

He gritted his teeth and survived 360 five days and nights a year.

"The day I broke through the "Thousand Tribulation Kung Fu" to the third stage, he received your "help letter" and went to Mizong Ridge... When I was awakened by the true energy of walking around, he was already crazy, People and swords are full of blood, and there are corpses under their feet." Duanqing's voice was very calm, but Helian Yu trembled, "I can't stand the bloody stimulation, so I can only seal the nine strange caves and hide in the deep mountains. I was trapped in the cave, and I survived the medicinal properties of longevity Gu one after another with him, but the two zhenqi in my body were completely messed up because of this, entangled inseparably, and then..."

When Duan Qing said this, he looked at Helian Yu, there was no hatred or disgust in his eyes, just pure indifference.

"You totally ruined him."
