The Sword Named No Way Out

The stalemate in the atmosphere was almost solidified when Xu Shuangce let out a "huh" and said, "Got it."

Then he turned around and stepped towards Yu Chixiao.

"Sect Master Xu?" The envoy of the Xianmeng came in without knowing it, thinking that he was about to leave, and said anxiously: "According to the laws of the Xianmeng, in order to prevent the leaderless dragons, one of the leader and the Cangyang Sectlord must guard the rear, and they must not be involved in danger together." Jing, you must not leave Cangyang Mountain right now!"

Xu Shuangce walked towards Yu Chixiao: "I know."

"The suzerain, you—"

The envoy's voice seemed to be choked, and he watched Xu Shuangce's sword drawn in a daze, with murderous intent bursting out, pointing at Yu Chixiao's throat!

This time there will be no one to stop him, the sword energy made Yu Chixiao unable to move, for a moment he even had the illusion that he had been pierced by a sword through his throat.

— Am I already dead?

But then, he felt the cold and sharp tip of the sword slowly move to the side of his face, and he slapped it twice, and a trace of blood immediately overflowed from the sword groove.

"..." Yu Chixiao trembled in the pain and opened his eyes, meeting Xu Shuangce's condescending and mocking eyes.

Daoist Jingxu trembled: "Zong, Zongzhu..."

At this moment, a passing token suddenly flew out of Yuchixiao's sleeve automatically, bursting out of the Thousand Miles Appearance Formation. The red golden light criss-crossed, Jian Zong Yuchi Changsheng appeared in the formation, holding the divine sword Rakshasa Tower, and firmly blocked the front of the helpless sword with one step!

"Xu, Shuang, Ce." He said coldly.

It took everyone a step to react, and hurriedly saluted: "Meet Jianzong!"

Yu Chixiao collapsed as if his whole body was washed by cold sweat once, and blurted out: "Uncle! How are you?!"

"..." Xu Shuangce sized Yuchi Changsheng up and down, he couldn't see what he was thinking from his indifferent face, and only a few moments later, under the tense gazes around him, he calmly retracted his helpless sword.

Everyone's breath was finally relieved.

Yuchi Changsheng turned his head to his nephew behind him: "Go back to Jinmen."

"You are also trapped in Dingxian Mausoleum?!"

Jianzong emphasized his tone: "Return to Jinmen!"

Yu Chixiao supported Gou Chenjian and stood up: "I'm going now..."

There was a sound of wind, and Jian Zong suddenly turned around. The little spiritual power left in the magic circle fluctuated violently because of this movement, and Yu Chixiao's pupils widened in astonishment.

Jianzong's golden armor was cracked everywhere, his neck, chest, and front abdomen were heavily scarred, and his left arm had a **** that was more than a foot long, and the sleeve of his robe was already soaked in blood!

Just listen to his words: "Go back to Jinmen, keep yourself, don't come to Dingling."

Immediately afterwards, the magic circle burst suddenly, and countless light spots drifted away with the wind, disappearing in the midair of gray smoke.

Xu Shuangce turned around, put his sword back into its sheath, and stopped looking at Yu Chixiao: "Wen Xiuyang."

Wen Xiuyang immediately leaned over: "Yes."

"Send him down the mountain."

"Yes!"

Xu Shuangce didn't even look back, and walked towards the Xuanji Hall with his hands behind his hands in the sky, his clothes and robes fluttered in the wind, and soon disappeared into the mountain stream.

·

The cracked mountains and gunpowder smoke are getting farther and farther away, gradually disappearing behind.

The endless wind was coming towards him, Xu Shuangce walked towards the endless mountains step by step without a sword. Flowing clouds gather and disperse under his feet, and there is a large hall in the silent mountain forest in the distance, faintly revealing the magnificent outline of glazed green tiles and silver cornices.

jingle!

The three helically twisted golden rings collided with the sheath of Reluctantly, sending out crisp echoes.

jingle-

He seemed to hear the wind chimes slamming in the depths of the corridor, and the heavy veils swaying with the wind. In the afternoon of punishing Shugong Chunri, a thin and small figure suddenly popped out from the top of the wall, and secretly looked at him from top to bottom, thinking it was very hidden.

"...Sect Master Xu, don't be surprised. That is the young master brought back by our leader half a month ago. He seems to be insane and unable to speak..."

Xu Shuangce stopped and stretched out a hand to the wall.

The figure shrank back, only revealing two vigilant eyes.

But Xu Shuangce didn't move, and kept looking at him with his palms up. After a while, his eyes blinked, and his right pupil suddenly turned bright red. After blinking again, they returned to normal, full of doubt and fear. hesitate.

"..."

Xu Shuangce withdrew his hand and put it into his sleeve. Following this movement, the figure behind the wall couldn't help poking out an inch, but Sect Master Cangyang took out two small gold coins from his bosom, threaded them through with a silk thread, waved them casually, and made a tinkling sound.

The boy's eyes widened.

Jingle!

Jingle!

As the sun passed through the veil of the corridor, the small gold coins shone brightly and made a sound, and the boy's curious eyes couldn't help shaking from side to side.

jingle —

Before the lingering sound was over, the gust of wind passed by, Xu Shuangce felt his eyes blur and his hands were empty.

The back of the boy slipped away like crimson clouds, and he was several feet away in the blink of an eye, and his thin white fingers were still holding the two small gold coins wrapped in silk thread. He clenched it so tightly, as if he was afraid of losing it, and disappeared at the end of the winding and long corridor with a clatter of hurried footsteps.

Only the wind moves, passing by, and it lasts for a long time.

"Sect, Sect Master, don't take offense! The young master is insane, young and ignorant, it was definitely not intentional..."

Xu Shuangce suddenly let out a deep laugh, and punishing Shu Gong's disciples stopped abruptly, thinking he had heard wrong.

"Running fast," he said.

The disciples of Xunshu Palace were not sure whether he was happy or angry, so they murmured and dared not speak.

"Very good." Sovereign Cangyang commented, "He who runs fast at least lives long."

·

Perhaps it was a coincidence that in those few years, there were suddenly many occasions where Xu Zongzhu needed to go to Xianmeng to attend in person.

The boy who was picked up by the leader Ying grew up day by day—although "growth" is a false concept for him, because the years have not left a trace on Gong Wei's body from beginning to end.

He only gradually began to understand human affairs, or in other words, learned to be more like a human being.

Xu Shuangce taught him to read the Taoist scriptures Kaimeng, and taught him to write by hand. At the end of spring in Xunshu Palace, the withered peach blossoms drifted across the window lattice with the wind, Xu Shuangce sat in front of the desk holding his hand copying "Xianjian Ji"; although Gong Weiren sat still, but the tip of the pen was always crooked , No matter how you pull it, you can’t straighten it. After writing for a while, you can’t help but turn around and feel helpless, and ask: “What’s this word?”

In fact, he seldom speaks, probably because he also knows in his heart that he has not yet learned, and his accent is always inaccurate.

Xu Shuangce said, "I can't help it."

"what do you mean?"

"Ghosts and gods can't do anything."

Gong Wei didn't understand at all, but nodded thoughtfully, and then asked again in a short while: "Why do you all have swords?"

Xu Shuangce still held his right hand, his eyes fell on the paper: "Who else has it?"

Gong Wei said: "Brother." After a pause, he added: "Yuchi Changsheng."

Yu Chirui was about the same age as him, and when they first met a few years ago, they had a fight, and Yu Chirui beat Gong Wei to tears. The weeping Gong Wei kicked Yu Chirui out of the pavilion to the bottom of the cliff. When Ying Kai came out to search for him, he saw Yu Chirui was dangling by the branches of the cliff, with a bewildered expression on his face.

Xu Shuangce said lightly, "You will have them when you grow up."

Gong Wei asked: "How can I have it?"

The origin of the immortal sword in Xuanmen is nothing more than two ways, the first is the inheritance of the elders' relics, and the second is the master's help to refine it. In Gong Wei's situation, Ying Kai should help him refine a weapon with the same attributes and spiritual power—but that will have to wait for a long time. Because monks are not allowed to have their own fairy swords before they enter the Golden Core Realm.

No one has explained the concept of Jindan to Gong Wei. After all, he can't speak very well, and even establishing a foundation is a long way off.

So Xu Shuangce only said: "Of course you will have it when you grow up."

Gong Wei didn't understand at all, but still nodded thoughtfully. After a while, as if he had suddenly made a decision, he turned his head and looked up at Xu Shuangce's chin: "Xu Bai."

Xu Shuangce said, "You talk a lot today."

Gong Wei maintained that posture, looked at him eagerly, and said solemnly: "I like you alone."

The tip of the pen suddenly stopped, hanging in the air.

The room was so quiet that it was clear that a needle fell on the ground, the treetops shook outside the window, and the wind was like a tide.

It took a long time before Xu Shuangce reprimanded in a low voice: "...nonsense."

Gong Wei was unconvinced and wanted to argue, but at this time there was the sound of footsteps outside the window, and then a figure jumped up and began to slam the window. It was Yu Chirui: "Gong Wei! Help me! I took the fish that Ying Kai raised If I catch them all, he's going to beat me up!"

Gong Wei: "?!"

Fa Xiao is about to be beaten, is there anything more important in the world than this?

The sound of the wind passed by, and there was nothing in front of Xu Shuangce.

In the next second, Gong Wei jumped out of the window excitedly, without even turning his head. The two teenagers were so excited that they disappeared in the direction of Xun Shugong.

"..."

Silence slowly returned to the room, and early cicadas chirped on the branches, drifting away with the wind.

Xu Shuangce didn't move or show any expression. After a while, she slowly put down the pen and sat there, the quiet floating dust in the air reflected in the depths of her pupils.

"It's just gibberish." He said every word through his teeth.

At that time, the years seemed to be very long, and they all thought that Gong Wei would need many years to build the foundation, and then Jindan, even if he could not reach the Mahayana realm in the end, at least he could get a fair fairy sword.

No one would have thought that just a few years later, Prefect Bai would be born unexpectedly, and then the world would be shaken by the first battle.

In this life, Gong Wei has traveled farther and shorter than anyone imagined.

But that was later.

·

Xu Shuangce walked down from the clouds with his hands behind his back, and landed in the air on the soft ground in front of the hall.

The silver vaults were wide and huge, reflecting pale light under the dome of the sky. The surrounding area was extremely quiet. On the huge silver plaque above the gate of the palace was engraved a character of flying and dancing, which was written in the secret mantra of the Cangyang Sect. The outline was so complicated that it was difficult for outsiders to recognize—

"ban".

In the forbidden area of ​​Cangyang, trespassers will be killed without mercy.

Xu Shuangce looked up at the door plaque, staring at the word for a long time.

Everyone knows that the head of punishment and punishment was once the most hated object of Cangyang Sect Master in his life.

It was the night twenty years ago when Xu Shuangce just woke up from the fantasy world of the thousand-degree mirror world. He rushed out of the Xuanji Palace with his sword, killed the Daishan Xianmeng all the way, and shattered the gate of the punishment institute with a loud noise. . Before the shivering Palace Director could pack up his bag and escape overnight, Xu Shuangce grabbed him by the collar and pulled him out alive.

Although everything that happened later was passed on to the later generations with more twists and turns, more and more bizarre, but at least one detail of that night was undoubted. Because at that time, half of the disciples in Xunshu Palace heard Sect Master Xu's roar:

"If you dare to kill my wife, I will let you pay for it today!"

"Miya Wei—!"

Gong Wei fled for his life crying all the way, but Xu Shuangce chased after him, almost chopped off his feet several times. The whole Daishan was startled, even Ying Kai woke up in the middle of the night and came here wearing clothes, scrambling and chasing after him: "Shuang Ce stop! That's not your real wife, it's just an illusion!"

"Brother, help! Brother, help!"

"I know you have a great prejudice against Gong Zhengyu, but this time he entered the fantasy world and he did his best. He just helped you break through obstacles, Shuang Ce!"

"Help! Help! Help!"

"Shuang Ce stop! Come on, come on and hold Sect Master Xu—"

All transitions happen at the same instant.

Gong Wei slammed his head into the corner of the wall, and when he was desperate, he subconsciously held his head and stretched out his hand to block it.

Reluctantly, Jianfeng suddenly stopped in front of his arm.

——I saw a faint star shining under the edge of the sword, it was Gong Wei's cuff slipped when he raised his hand, revealing a very familiar golden ring on his elbow, which directly hit Xu Shuangce's eyes.

"..."

There was a crackling sound, that was when the tip of the sword had plunged into the floor tiles, and Xu Shuangce staggered back half a step.

"I've been wearing it since I can remember, and I've forgotten where it came from." In the fantasy world, General Bai's hoarse voice still rang in his ears, and he said with a longing and admiration that only he knew in his heart, "Now I want to give it to you, and I would like to express my gratitude."

"I don't know why, I have never seen your appearance with my own eyes, nor heard your voice with my own ears, but when I first met you, I had a sense of past and present."

"It feels like I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I have liked you for a long time..."

"A Tao, do you also feel that you have seen me in your previous life?"

"When we meet in the future, I hope we can become husband and wife."

…

When we meet in the future, I wish to be husband and wife.

All kinds of words in the illusion are still in my ears, every scene and every word is like a cruel claw, uncovering the truth of years of deception—

No matter how powerful the illusion was, how could he fall in love with someone he had never met or talked to?

It turned out that it had nothing to do with that monster right eye from beginning to end, nor did it have anything to do with any inhuman tricks.

All the past and present, all the deja vu, all the joy of reunion and longing for self-deception, all got the answer at this moment.

"Is the dean of the palace all right?!" "Hurry up and help him up, hold Sect Master Xu!" "It's okay, it's okay..."

Roaring, noise and chaos all turned into a white background. Xu Shuangce stared straight at Gong Wei, he was surrounded by a group of people, hiding behind the stone pillar and looking over, his eyes were startled and puzzled.

"Shuang Ce, Shuang Ce, how can you be so impulsive and disregard grievances and grievances?" Ying Kai was so angry that he couldn't choose what to say, and kept reprimanding him from the sidelines: "I know you have always been prejudiced against Zheng Yu, saying He behaves strangely, belongs to a non-human, and one day he will bring great disaster to the world... But he has been working hard for many years, and no one except you thinks he has any weirdness! This time I entered the fantasy world just for Help you break through the barriers! You have always had grudges, but it is better to resolve the enemies than to tie them together. I will never allow you to do anything to Gong Zhengyu again!..."

"Ying Kai." Xu Shuangce said hoarsely.

"How could you almost cut off Gong Zhengyu, who you watched growing up with your own eyes, just because of the 'wife' that didn't exist in the illusion? You're just... what's wrong with you?!"

Ying Kai looked at Xu Shuangce in horror, but saw that his face was pale and dazed, as if he didn't hear those nagging reprimands at all, and just stared at Gong Wei in the distance.

"I wish I hadn't gone to that peach grove with you that year," he murmured.

"If only I had never met this heartless thing."

Ying Kai's pupils shrank suddenly, and Xu Shuangce covered his mouth tightly with one hand, and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of hot blood!

"Shuang, Shuang Ce!"

…

That extremely chaotic late night came to an end. Everyone was comforting the frightened and crying Gong Wei, but no one noticed that Xu Shuangce left without saying goodbye.

His soul seemed to have been withdrawn from his body, and he was suspended in a high place. He watched coldly as he walked back with his sword until he reached the top of Cangyang Mountain.

"metropolitan!"

"The suzerain is back!"

"Sovereign, what's wrong with you?!"...

Xu Shuangce stood there like a ghost, his expression was as cold and calm as before, but deep in his eyes were slack.

"There should be a forbidden place here," he whispered suddenly.

Wen Xiuyang, who was closest to him, was taken aback for a moment: "Sect Master, what did you say?"

"...build a forbidden hall here." Xu Shuangce finally let out a breath of **** breath, stood up straight, and said, "After the repair is completed, I will personally write the forbidden spell. From then on, no one is allowed to approach, and those who violate the order will be killed No pardon."

Everyone was at a loss, but they didn't dare to ask questions, and hurriedly bowed: "Yes!"

The Forbidden Hall of the Cangyang Sect was built twenty years ago. It is located in an inaccessible mountain.

The world said that the Cangyang Sect Master had an affair with the Chief of Punishment back then, but no one knew that from that day on, Gong Wei became Xu Shuangce's worst nightmare.

And here is where he is going to lock his nightmare.

·

-ban.

Xu Shuangce finally withdrew his gaze, raised his foot and walked forward, the soles of his boots made a slight sound on the thick fallen leaves.

With a creak, he pushed open the carved door and stepped into the hall.

The twelve whalebone screen doors are wide open, the high bed with carved beams and painted buildings has soft pillows, and the veil like crimson clouds moves without wind. He took off the gold ring on his wrist and placed it gently on the side of the bed. At this time, footsteps came from outside the hall, and they stopped cautiously under the window and did not approach any further. It was the disciple guarding the temple who was on duty here today: "Meet the suzerain !"

Xu Shuangce asked, "Where is Xiang Xiaoyuan?"

The disciple was probably a little surprised, he was stunned for a while and said: "It should still be in Xuanji Hall."

"bring."

"Yes!"

Xu Shuangce took a deep breath and looked around at the familiar furnishings.

Dust floats in the hazy sky, the Bogu shelf casts vertical shadows on the ground, and several stacks of novel picture books are stacked on the sapphire case. On the wall is a set of comic strips of "Prince Ghost Greeting the Bride", the paper has turned yellow over the past twenty years, but the brushstrokes are lively and interesting, Taoist families are very common, and they are used to enlighten children.

His eyes fell on the eighth picture of a little fox playing the suona in the middle, and he didn't move away for a long time, as if he was caught in some distant and soft memories.

"Sovereign Master—!"

At this moment, the disciple came back with the sword in his hand, walked quickly to the window, and said anxiously: "I was ordered by the suzerain to summon my junior brother, but I couldn't find him anywhere. I just heard from the mountain watchman that my junior brother has left the mountain and is going to guard with Mr. Yuchi." The sword is gone!"

Xu Shuangce's sharp eyebrows slowly tightened.
