Chapter 42: Lifeless Finger
"My mother has no life, my hometown is empty!"
The ethereal sound echoed in her ears, and the jade hand gently touched her eyes. Duoercha suddenly felt like her soul was out of body and suddenly outside the world.
He knew something was wrong, and quickly changed his body shape, trying to avoid this finger, but the surrounding air suddenly became heavy, and the layers collapsed toward each other, as if there was a huge vortex hidden there, so he couldn't help it. "Surge" towards the vortex, as if to welcome the finger.
After Gu Xiaosang pointed it out, Meng Qi and others only saw Duoercha as if he had lost his soul. He gave up resistance and dodge, and took the initiative to greet him, like a wanderer who couldn't wait to return home.
"Is this sorcery..." Meng Qi looked at this strange scene in shock.
Brushing his fingers on Duo'er's eyebrows, Gu Xiaosang Baoxiang spoke solemnly, with a sound like a silver bell, clear and ethereal:
"My mother has no life, my hometown is empty!"
Something that made people's hair stand on end happened, Duoercha actually showed a peaceful and joyful smile, and followed in a low voice:
"My mother has no life, my hometown is empty!"
The body under his head suddenly expanded, and then contracted rapidly. The skin dried up, the muscles shrank, and streaks of blood condensed, gathered between the eyebrows, and poured into Gu Xiaosang's index and middle fingers.
Gu Xiaosang's jade-like face became more and more radiant, as if it could drip water.
"Old mother without life, home in a vacuum..." Doercha fell softly to the ground, reciting this mantra-like verse peacefully and happily, her voice getting lower and lower.
Gu Xiaosang withdrew his right hand and looked at Meng Qi and others. Compared with before, he was even more energetic and radiant, so beautiful that it made people feel ashamed.
"If something went wrong last time and the good deeds were wasted, why should I worry about doing it myself? But the good deeds of killing one person are still enough." Gu Xiaosang casually folded a branch and walked towards the entrance with a smile, "The general has been hit. It will take a while for Wu Shengzhi to return to his 'vacuum homeland'. Even though it is short-lived, it is still more than enough time to kill someone."
She looked at Meng Qi and others who were on guard, smiled and shook the branch: "Haha, it's fate. If something went wrong, how could I use that thing and be thrown to you as a newcomer? Who should be killed? What? I’m in a dilemma, why don’t you choose one of them, and after I kill them, we can go our separate ways, and we won’t be able to run into each other anyway.”
The index finger of her left hand rested on her chin, and her eyebrows were deeply furrowed. It seemed that this problem was too annoying. With such beautiful scenery, if there were any prostitutes here, they would probably come forward to relieve the beauty's worries.
Meng Qi and the others had just opened up, their friendship had deepened, and their minds were clear, so they did not fall for this plan to sow discord. They each guarded the entrance with great vigilance, thoughts racing in their minds, thinking about countermeasures.
Gu Xiaosang's eyes flashed and he smiled sweetly: "Are you in trouble too? Then let me think about it carefully, well, killing ordinary disciples of the Huanhua Sword Sect is worthless. It soils my hands and wastes my time. Good deeds."
Qi Zhengyan's face was as dark as water. Although he knew that this was Gu Xiaosang's provocation, he still felt insulted and unwilling. Why could he not be as good as others?
She turned her eyes to Zhang Yuanshan's face and nodded slightly: "Among the secular disciples of the Zhenwu Sect, Zhang is one of the three pillars. If I kill you here and fake the Zhenwu Sect's methods, it will not be difficult to cause internal strife."
Zhang Yuanshan's eyes narrowed and he spoke calmly: "Witch, are our elders reckless and ignorant?"
"That's true." Gu Xiaosang actually nodded happily in agreement, "I don't know how to predict, so I didn't expect that this situation would happen this time, so I didn't exchange the secrets of the Zhenwu Sect. It's a bit difficult to frame the fault."
"And if I can't cause internal strife and simply kill you, I'm a little reluctant to do good deeds. Within the Zhenwu Sect, among this generation, Yang Tai, Yang He, and the Yao brothers are all more talented in martial arts than you, and their strength is far superior. As for you, it's like you haven't understood the true meaning of the Qi Gathering Chapter of "Zhenwu Qijie Jing" or "Tai Chi Magic Skills", but they are not as calm and capable as you and can win the favor of your elders. "
She had a smile as bright as a flower and said sarcastic words with hidden provocation.
Zhang Yuanshan suddenly smiled and said: "My martial arts talent is not as good as those of my peers. It is a natural thing. Why should I be discouraged? The way of heaven is balanced and hard work can make up for my weakness. Why should I despair?"
Since Gu Xiaosang wanted to sow discord and kill people with words, Zhang Yuanshan was happy to talk nonsense with her. As long as Duoercha died, everything would be fine.
Gu Xiaosang was startled for a moment, bit his lower lip with his teeth, and said with a half-smile: "Hearing what you said, I really want to kill you."
She "forced" herself to turn her head and looked at Jiang Zhiwei with a smile: "I heard rumors before that Miss Jiang is the most promising person among the younger generation. In the future, she will be a sword god like Senior Su, suppressing the nine leftist sects. This makes me feel itchy and I can’t wait to see him again and get rid of him quickly. Now it seems that I have this opportunity.”
Jiang Zhiwei showed no signs of anger or fear, and said calmly: "If you have this opportunity, you must first ask about the sword in my palm."
Gu Xiaosang looked at Jiang Zhiwei's calm attitude, as if she was possessed by Su Wuming, and frowned slightly: "Do you still have the strength to fight? Can you still use 'Sword Out of Self'? It doesn't make sense for you to be so seriously injured. , have you ever exchanged life-saving methods such as the method of disintegrating demons?"
She actually asked the doubts in her heart frankly.
"You'll know after you try it." Jiang Zhiwei smiled lightly. In addition to her bright face, her snow-white complexion made her even more charming.
Gu Xiaosang pondered for a moment, then looked at Meng Qi with a smile: "Master, actually you are the one I want to kill the most."
"Huh?" Meng Qi felt confused. He should be on the same level as Qi Zhengyan, or even inferior to him, at least for now.
Gu Xiaosang lowered her head slightly, her face flushed slightly: "Because Xiao Zi seems to have a crush on you."
"What's the reason?" Meng Qi was also happy to talk nonsense with her and try to delay time.
Gu Xiaosang raised her head and smiled like a fox: "This is the best reason. I will destroy everything she likes and wants."
**! Meng Qi only had this idea.
"So, 'Master', rest in peace, Amitabha." Gu Xiaosang threw away the branch and clasped her hands coquettishly.
Meng Qi took a deep breath, and the noise around him gradually faded away. There was only Gu Xiaosang in his eyes, and his heart was clear. Then he raised his sword and pointed it at the dark place.
Gu Xiaosang smiled and walked briskly towards Meng Qi, ignoring Jiang Zhiwei and others.
Suddenly, she felt that all the sounds around her were taken away, there was no more wind and rain, no more snakes and insects crawling, peaceful and peaceful, quiet and worry-free.
Her smile froze, and she saw Meng Qi raise his sword, the sword flashed, and an illusory cracking sound suddenly appeared.
The peace was broken, and the noise came again. Gu Xiaosang suddenly heard the tender voice of a child, "Mother, mother," and her mind couldn't help but recall all kinds of past events, sad or happy, and her mood was uneasy.
Her face suddenly changed, and she took a few steps back to get rid of the sword's attack.
When did this monk have such a brilliant swordsmanship?
Seeing Gu Xiaosang retreating quickly, Meng Qi didn't care about his exhausted physical strength and weak legs, and rushed directly to the mechanism and turned it.
Za Za Za, before Gu Xiaosang came to his senses, Meng Qi threw the sword and closed the entrance.
Dang! The sword hit the hidden protrusion behind the nearby red boulder, and Meng Qi in the secret passage gritted his teeth and swung his right fist, destroying the mechanism inside.
"What are you doing?" Qi Zhengyan asked in astonishment.
"Destroy the mechanism, we can't get out, and she can't get in either!" Meng Qi sat down softly against the stone wall next to him, feeling his hands and feet trembling.
Jiang Zhi nodded slightly: "As long as Duoercha dies, we can return directly. It's no big deal to be trapped here."
"That's a good idea." Zhang Yuanshan smiled.
Qi Zhengyan held the sword and stood near the entrance, always worried that the mechanism outside was not completely destroyed.
Jiang Zhi smiled and looked at Meng Qi: "I didn't expect you to have comprehended the sword intent of 'breaking purity'."
She saw that Meng Qi was just bluffing, and only relied on part of the sword intent to scare Gu Xiaosang away, and bought precious time to close the entrance.
"The front of this move is not incomplete. As long as the mind is comprehended and prepared according to the changes in the mind method, the sword intent will naturally flourish." Meng Qi probably recovered some physical strength.
Qi Zhengyan didn't know much about this level of moves, so he didn't ask much. Zhang Yuanshan also didn't understand the true meaning of the "Zhenwu Qijie Jing" and the introductory part of "Taiji Shengong" when he "watched" them, so he could only practice according to the secret book copied by the seniors in the sect based on their own experience, and didn't understand the sword meaning very well.
Only Jiang Zhiwei looked at Meng Qi with a smile, and when the other two were not paying attention, she quietly opened her mouth and made a mouth shape.
Meng Qi, who had worked closely with her, immediately understood what she meant:
"Let's exchange ideas!"
…………
In front of the mountain wall, Gu Xiaosang stared at the closed entrance, and suddenly raised a sly smile.
Then she turned around and walked out of the forest. When she passed Duoercha, she waved her sleeves and asked him to close his eyes forever.
…………
"I wonder who Gu Xiaosang is?" Meng Qi quickly changed the subject. He was also very curious about Gu Xiaosang's identity.
Zhang Yuanshan said solemnly: "Do you know the Nine Paths of Evil Demons?"
"Yes." Meng Qi had heard Xuanxin mention it.
Zhang Yuanshan nodded: "Gu Xiaosang is the saint of the 'Luo Sect' in the Nine Paths of Evil Demons. This is a sect that respects the 'Mother of No Birth' who was once powerful in the mythological era. It deceives people to return to the 'homeland of vacuum'. According to the rumors released by the Luo Sect, Gu Xiaosang is the reincarnation of the 'Mother of No Birth' this generation."
"We know her because she has made three moves, all of which were cross-level kills, and she has opened eight orifices. She is listed as the fourth on the Human List and has a loud reputation." Jiang Zhiwei also said.
"What is the Human List? It seems that there is also the Earth List and the Heaven List?" Meng Qi has always wanted to understand this but has no chance.
Zhang Yuanshan chuckled and said, "This is a list set up by the royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty, which ranks the masters of the world, trying to provoke everyone's competitive spirit, kill each other, and weaken each other. Well, the original list is in the headquarters of the Six Gates in the Capital of Gods."
"Although everyone knows Zhao's intention, some people who walk the rivers and lakes may not be greedy, some may not be greedy for money, some may not be greedy for power, not be greedy for wine, and not be greedy for gambling, but except for the masters who have achieved the Tao and are humble, who doesn't want to be famous? So everyone tacitly agreed to the list, and there were many disputes in secret."
Jiang Zhi nodded slightly and said, "The Heavenly List is the ranking of the masters of the Dharmakaya. Anyway, since the Heavenly List was established, there have been no more than fourteen or fifteen people at most, and only seven or eight people at least. There are currently ten people in total, and your master Fangzhang ranks third; the Earthly List is a list of famous masters other than the immortals on land, and only the top two hundred are listed, basically the top figures above the seventh heaven of the outer scene. My master is currently the first on the Earthly List."
Speaking of this, she was quite proud.
"The Human Ranking is a list of young masters. Because of the opening stage, there are many cases of cross-level victory, so even if the nine openings are opened, it may not be ranked in the top. This list currently ranks only fifty." Zhang Yuanshan added.
Meng Qi was about to ask Jiang Zhiwei if she was currently on the Human Ranking, when lines of gray words suddenly appeared on the wall:
"General Duoercha died, side mission 2 completed, reward Gu Xiaosang 200 merits, reward Jiang Zhiwei 100 merits, reward Zhang Yuanshan 50 merits."
"Duoercha died, Shaolin fell, main mission 2 completed ahead of schedule, each rewarded 100 merits."
"Return immediately."
