The Sword Named No Way Out - Chapter 12
What Ying Kai said was right, if Gong Wei had been completely wiped out under the sword of helplessness, then he would be completely wiped out in the world, and it is absolutely impossible for him to come back after sixteen years.
There was a suffocating dead silence in the room, and it seemed that even the sound of breathing was suppressed. It took a long time before Gong Wei heard Xu Shuangce’s low voice coming from the crack in the door at the other end of the bamboo tube: “Anything can happen to Gong Zhengyu, I know this person better than you.”
After a pause, he continued, “Or rather, it’s not a human being.”
I didn’t expect that I’ve been dead for sixteen years, but the boss is still so serious!
Gong Wei supported his forehead and sighed, only to hear that Ying Kai was obviously very helpless: “Gong Wei has three souls, seven souls and seven chakras since he was a child, and he has passed away. How could he not be… Well, we have debated this issue many times. There’s no point arguing anymore.”
He said with a long sigh: “Sometimes I can’t help but think of Gong Wei when he was a child, you two were so good, and you chose the word ‘Zheng Yu’ for him. If I could have predicted today’s ending back then, I wouldn’t let Gong Wei assisted you to enter the “thousand-degree mirror world” fantasy world to break through barriers, is everything different now?”
Suddenly hearing him mention the word Zheng Yu, Gong Wei was slightly taken aback.
Xu Shuangce really did it for him.
That was when he was just picked up by Ying Kai from the Cangyang Sect to Xianmeng. He hadn’t learned how to speak yet. One day, Sect Master Xu came to Xianmeng to do some business. He didn’t know where he got the inspiration from, so he brought a small suona give it to him. Gong Wei, as if he had found a treasure, blew it all day long, making everyone in Daishan complain endlessly; until late at night, the leader Ying couldn’t bear it anymore, got up from the bed and kicked in the door, forcibly took the little suona and threw it away. Specially sent the sound transmission talisman to Cangyang Mountain, and scolded Xu Shuangce for half an hour with blood and tears.
Xu Shuangce was silent for a long time after listening to Gong Wei’s performance in the sound transmission talisman, and then said: “This son will use the word ‘Zheng Yu’ in the future.”
Ying Kaiyu’s anger still persisted: “Why?”
“Among the five tones, there are only three tones.”
Ying Kai scoffed, but after Gong Wei heard about it, he felt like a treasure once again, and immediately began to use it everywhere. The writing paper, exercises, and even the piano score were all filled with “Gong Zhengyu’s inscriptions” like ghostly symbols. By the time Ying Kai found out that the deal was done, he had already lost the opportunity to give his junior a serious name, and everyone in the world knew that Gong Wei’s name was Zheng Yu.
There was a moment of silence at the other end of the bamboo tube, and then Xu Shuangce said: “The fate is like this, it will not change, so there is no need to say more.”
Ying Kai said: “Although this is the case, I have been brooding for so long – what happened in the fantasy world of the thousand-degree mirror world twenty years ago? Gong Wei only told me before his death that you were shot by a mirror. He was fascinated by the illusioned woman in the mirror, he was afraid that you would regenerate the disorder after killing the barrier, so he could only intervene to kill the woman in the mirror, but in the end he was hated by you. Shuang Ce, although Gong Wei’s method of solving problems has always been simple and direct , but that is due to his nature; what’s more, the person in the mirror is just an illusion, not a real person at all. After Gong Wei left, I persuaded you several times, but you refused to tell me clearly, now that Bai Taishou is reappearing in this world, how much are you Should you tell me something inside?”
Leader Ying is worthy of a sect of preaching, this long story is really sweet, but Xu Shuangce’s reaction was very flat, saying: “Didn’t Yu Chirui write it all in Nian Nujiao?”
Ying Kai: “How do you know it’s Chang—”
The second half of the sentence was almost blurted out, but fortunately, it was swallowed up by the leader Ying who reacted so quickly, and said awkwardly: “So… Changsheng asked someone to write it? How can you be so nonsense, I will definitely send a letter to Jinmen to reprimand him later. But Shuang Ce, you don’t know that Gong Wei didn’t tell Chang Sheng too much inside information before his death, so that “Nian Nujiao” is quite fabricated and distorted. Over the years, I have ordered it to be banned several times, and I have not banned it really…”
Xu Shuangce said coldly: “Let him distort it, don’t pay attention to it. You can just take it seriously.”
Ying Kai suddenly fell silent strangely, and after a while he said cautiously: “That… Shuang Ce, have you seen Nian Nujiao?”
“No. What?”
Gong Wei upstairs: “?”
Gong Wei couldn’t help but put his ears forward again, and finally heard Ying Kai’s difficult voice from the opposite side after a long time:
“I’m not very willing to believe that… after you lost your wife, you were overwhelmed with grief… in a fit of anger… you left the palace.”
The air suddenly fell into dead stillness.
Xu Shuangce at the other end of the bamboo tube: “…”
Gong Wei at the end of the bamboo tube: “…”
Ying Kai said awkwardly: “Shuang Ce, are you… okay? I’ve already fought Changsheng, that… why don’t you sit down and have a sip of tea first? I’ll go to Linjiang to meet you right away?”
“Of course I will find out about Linjiangdu.” After a long silence, I finally heard Xu Shuangce say word by word: “Whether Prefect Bai is true or not, I will bring him to Daishan Punishment Palace. You go and order Yuchi.” Longevity just guard the plaque on the Golden Gate.”
Ying Kai hurriedly persuaded him to fight: “Calm down, Shuang Ce, you’d better wait for me to rush over from Mount Dai in person, I’m really afraid that you-“
At this time, there was a sudden explosion downstairs, and at the same time, Yu Chixiao blurted out: “Oh my god!”
Thousands of crashes broke into pieces, it was the mercury mirrors that exploded one after another. Xu Shuangce only said “Let’s talk later”, and Ying Kai said in vain: “Shuangce, wait for me—”
Gong Wei’s first reaction was that this ghost repairer was very courageous, he dared to show up in the magic circle set up by Mr. Xu himself, and he dared to make such a loud noise; his second reaction was: opportunity!
He slid back the bamboo pole, rushed out, went straight to the second floor, and broke into the door that was closed just now. Sure enough, Xu Shuangce had left immediately when the mirror array in the lobby burst, and was not in the room at the moment.
Before the sound transmission circle could completely disappear, there was a phantom of a tall and straight man in a dark blue kimono suit and a white burqa in the circle. It was Ying Kai!
Just as Ying Kai was about to get out of the magic circle, he saw a handsome young man he didn’t know bump into the door, and he couldn’t help but stunned for a while in doubt. Gong Wei didn’t even have time to explain, so he jumped up excitedly and wanted to hug his thigh: “Master—”
Before the word “Brother” could be uttered, Gong Wei’s heart rang out, and the alarm bells spun in mid-air.
A lingering cloud of gray air was appearing in the air, and then it transformed into a hood, a scarlet light spot, and the blood-covered sword. It turned out to be a ghost cultivator!
It actually rushed to kill itself in such a hurry!
When Gong Wei was surprised, he instinctively became suspicious, as if he was sensitive to what was wrong, but there was no time to think about it. He rolled back into the corner of the wall on the spot, and the ghost seemed to pause for a moment before turning into thick gray smoke on the spot, and suddenly appeared in front of him the next moment, stabbing Gong Wei’s right eye with his fingers and claws.
“?” Ying Kai couldn’t see Guixiu, and asked in amazement, “Is there something in the room?”
With a crisp slap, Gong Wei slapped the ghost over his head and face, and said in tears, “Help! It’s me, Master…”
The key word “brother” didn’t come out again, and a strong wind came down on his head, it was a scabbard of helplessness!
Gong Wei was so angry that he almost became a ghost on the spot, only to see that Xu Shuangce had arrived in the air, raised his hand and wiped out the magic circle, and Ying Kai’s figure immediately disappeared in the faint golden light.
At the same time, Guiying was forced to let go of Gong Wei, and reluctantly retreated a few feet away. After hesitating on the spot for a few breaths, he still didn’t dare to be tough with Xu Shuangce, and half of his body quietly disappeared into the void.
“It wants to run!” Gong Wei is the most flexible person, and decisively changed the person who hugged his thigh: “—Master, be careful, over there!”
Yu Chixiao, who had just rushed up, almost slipped and fell when he heard the words, pulled Gong Wei behind him, and warned in a low voice: “You are going to die! How dare an outer disciple call you Master?”
Gong Wei resolutely said: “What do you know, the suzerain is unmatched in my heart, it is not the master who is better than the master!”
Sect Master Xu glanced back at him, no emotion could be seen at the tip of his eyes covered by eyelashes, then he turned around and pinched a spell. Hundreds of mercury mirrors under their feet exploded at the same time, and tens of thousands of fragments turned into giant dragons and rushed up, enveloping the ghosts that had not had time to completely disappear like lightning.
Countless small mirrors formed a miniature mirror palace, covering it from all directions, and countless silver lights flickered in an instant. Ghosting struggled violently, but he didn’t break free, and was trapped tightly!
Every time it struggled, the suspended mirror cage twisted and collided with it, and countless glass fragments squeezed and rubbed against each other, making a deafening sound.
“I can’t run away.” Xu Shuangce’s expression remained unchanged, and he folded his hands and said, “The reason why mortals can’t see you is because you don’t exist in the world, nor in the ghost garden, and you can only swim in the gap between the two worlds.” Go. You are neither a man nor a ghost, something in between.”
Everyone had a learned expression, Yu Chixiao asked in amazement: “Then, what is that?”
“Mirror communicates yin and yang, so it can not only be used as a medium for illusion, but also the most effective way to trap you.” Xu Shuangce didn’t answer a few juniors, looked at the invisible ghost in the mirror cage, and finally asked: “Who are you? “
“—Onigaki Twelve Mansions told me that Fahua Immortal Venerable has lost his mind and soul, and sixteen years later, you are killing people with Bai Taishou. Who are you?”
Gong Wei felt exhausted again, he didn’t expect that the well-behaved Sect Master Xu became so suspicious after sixteen years of absence. Just now he believed that the ghost cultivator was the resurrected Fahua Immortal Venerable, so he almost angered the good old man Ying Kai, and in a blink of an eye he asked the ghost cultivator again: “Who are you?”
No matter who it is, everyone must die. If you just kill him, it’s over. Get Bai Taishou back quickly.
The ghost shadow couldn’t answer Xu Shuangce, scarlet light flickered randomly on the place where the face should be, and suddenly turned to Gong Wei, showing an extremely obvious killing intent in that movement.
Gong Wei suddenly realized that it might not be able to speak because it lacked seven orifices, so he poked his head out from behind Yu Chixiao with an idea, put his hands around his mouth and shouted: “Master! It’s not going to harm people everywhere, it’s always been looking for me what!”
“…”
Xu Shuangce obviously didn’t want to pay attention to the word “Master”, Gong Wei didn’t care, and shouted in a loud voice: “Before I came to Jiangdu, it looked for people with bad fate to perform mirroring skills, but the night I came to Jiangdu, it obviously didn’t get mirror skills , but it appeared immediately! I couldn’t wait to kill me with my own hands! The day after I was lucky enough to survive, it suddenly appeared in broad daylight on the street outside the Linjiang Prince’s Mansion to kill people at will, and it didn’t choose its target at all—this Explain what!”
“There’s no need to pick any more! It has already found its true target, which is me, Master!”
At this time, Meng Yunfei also gradually came to his senses: “Xiang Xiaogong is indeed a one-in-a-million full-yin fate. The book says that it is suitable for… as a furnace, and it is also suitable…”
Yu Chixiao continued in astonishment: “Borrowing the corpse to revive the soul.”
Xu Shuang’s eyebrows jumped heavily in an instant.
Yu Chixiao hesitated and said: “Sect Master Xu, this junior has seen Xiang Xiaoyuan’s four pillars because of the matter of becoming a Taoist couple. He happened to be born…he was born sixteen years ago…the same day Fahua Xianzun drove west of Hexi… …”
Death on the same day and birth on the same day, the four pillars are the most suitable target for resurrecting the soul!
If it is said that Xu Shuangce was suspicious, if there was still a part or two of doubting whether this ghost cultivator was Fahua Immortal Venerable just now, the part or two should have almost disappeared now.
Gong Wei breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, and shrank back behind Yu Chixiao, thinking about how to persuade Mr. Xu to kill the ghost cultivator on the spot. From then on, there will be no evidence of his death, and he will be completely safe—at this time, Xu Shuangce said slowly :
“Is it.”
His tone seems a little strange, but people who are not familiar with it will never hear it.
“The five senses are incomplete, the seven orifices are insufficient, what supports you to wander in the world of humans and ghosts?” He turned to the mirror cage not far away in mid-air, and did not pull out the helpless one, but slowly raised one Hand: “Let me see.”
The ghost seemed to realize something, and struggled violently. At this time, Xu Shuangce had disappeared in place and appeared in front of it—at the same instant, thousands of mirrors burst open, and the ghost rushed out of the cage regardless of everything, and rushed straight to it. Gong Wei!
The clear sound passed through the clouds, Meng Yunfei’s five strings vibrated together, and the sound waves splashed transparent ripples on the ghost; Yu Chixiao took advantage of the gap to cut it horizontally with a sword, and the ghost was forced to turn into smoke again, and appeared above Gong Wei’s head in a blink of an eye, black The mist quickly condensed into sharp claws, piercing straight towards his Tianling Gai.
With a loud bang, Yu Chixiao kicked Gong Wei away with his kick, his fingers and claws brushing past his face!
Gong Wei could dodge by himself, but before he could even say a word, he was kicked away in an instant. The sadness in his heart was beyond words. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a **** sword stabbing towards him. At this critical moment, just listen to clang! There was a sound of metal clashing, but the platinum scabbard collided with the blood sword, and the ghost was blocked abruptly.
Xu Shuangce stood in front of Gong Wei, holding a sword in one hand to block the ghostly shadow, and with the other hand he cast another spell. The mirror cage in the distance suddenly turned into a torrent and swept over, twisted into several strands like lightning, and the five flowers tied the ghost shadow together!
All this happened so quickly and neatly that Gong Wei, who was lying on the ground with his back on his back, almost applauded him. The ghost image was firmly fixed by the chains made of countless lenses, and before it had time to struggle desperately, Xu Shuangce had already reached into its empty body with one hand, and grabbed its heart from the chest cavity—
The ghost was stiff as if being hit by an electric current, and all the scarlet light spots circulating under the hood were frozen.
“…” Xu Shuangce narrowed his eyes slightly: “This is it?”
He was just about to take out the “heart”, but the ghost suddenly turned to him, and a hoarse voice came out from the head without five sense organs, with a rustling echo, as if it came from a very distant and vague place:
“…Xu Bai.”
Xu Shuang made a move and stopped.
No one saw that Gong Wei’s expression froze slightly, and then he couldn’t hide a trace of surprise.
— Those two words are so familiar, they are clearly the voice and accent of his previous life.
