Chapter 59: The Truth of Traveling Through Time, Ziwei Saint (7K)

The stars are dim and the cold moon is without light.

The backyard of the Demon Suppression Division’s chief guard.

A young Taoist priest in his early thirties, wearing a navy blue Taoist robe, with disheveled hair, thin and handsome features, was holding an ebony Taoist sword and chanting a spell.

I saw the pupils in his eyes gradually disappear, and black air seeped out from his eye sockets which were filled with terrifying whites. His black hair danced in the wind, and his whole body floated above the strange and bizarre magic circle.

And as the spell deepens.

The curse light on his body became dimmer and his face became paler.

final.

flutter--

The Taoist priest's body trembled, and a mouthful of inky black blood spurted out, and then he fell to his knees.

At the same time, the surrounding magic arrays, talismans, and curse lights all disappeared!

The Heroic Soul Banner hidden in the ghost fog in the sky also suddenly fell to the ground.

All around, countless residual souls of good monsters waiting to be transformed into "Heroic Souls of Dao Tomb" stopped where they were, faces filled with astonishment.

"Sorry, gentlemen."

"This useless body of mine has been exhausted by the forbidden spell, and my energy is running out. I will leave first!"

"But, but we haven't lost yet! Please keep fighting!"

"As long as the evil in the southwest is not eradicated, you all must work together!"

That’s all.

As the last bit of vitality in his body was stripped away, blood began to flow from all seven orifices of the young Taoist priest. He fell straight back to the ground like a soul-lost puppet.

"Master!"

"Master Xuanji!"

"Master, you can't leave! The Fourth Young Master is in danger, if you leave, where are we going to go?"

The benevolent demon spirits that had transformed into heroic spirits in the surrounding area rushed forward, with illusory tears seeping out of their eyes.

"Don't worry, gentlemen."

"As long as you are not destroyed, the righteousness will live forever! If you are destroyed, there will be successors!"

"When the Fourth Young Master was here, I once told this to you."

"He will come back again!"

That’s all.

The master of Qingfeng Temple, Taoist Xuanjizi, raised his head with difficulty, and his lifeless eyes stared straight towards the southwest.

As if expecting something.

"Fourth Master, can you really come back?"

"Will you return to your brothers?"

He murmured to himself.

Just at this moment.

Bang! The copper ring gate in the backyard was pushed open!

A figure in a green gown walked in.

"Master Four-Four?"

"Is this the hallucination I had before I passed away?"

At this moment, he looked at the nobleman, whom he regarded as his lifelong spiritual leader, walking towards him with a serious expression.

Behind him was a woman in white with an extremely powerful aura.

Xuanjizi's throat trembled, "Fourth Master, is it really you?"

"yes."

Gu Zhinan squatted down and held the young Taoist priest's withered and trembling hand: "I'm back."

"Fourth Master!"

"It's really the Fourth Master! He's really back!"

"We are here to see the Fourth Master!"

"Fourth Master, we have been waiting for you so long!"

The good demons and heroic spirits all around came forward to pay their respects. Their horrible faces were covered with imaginary hot tears.

"Why do you all need to worship me?"

Out of some inexplicable emotion, Gu Zhinan was agitated, raised his hands, and bowed to the other demons:

"You all followed me, leaving your homeland and going deep into this evil den of the southwest, but I was unable to bring you back to your people."

"It's Gu's fault!"

Looking at the good demons around him who were fighting to death, and even breaking the forbidden reincarnation to transform into heroic spirits to continue fighting, Gu Zhinan's eyes turned red, and he bowed three times again.

He really couldn't bear to tell them that he had no memory of Gu Si.

I'm not sure if I'm the one they're waiting for.

But he knows.

If he was Gu Si, he would have to express his apology! "Master Si! Master Si, you are too kind!"

"Since we are willing to follow you south, we are also ready to sacrifice!"

"We share a common aspiration. Let us fight side by side! We are good demons and will never let those evil demons sow discord between us and the human race!"

"Yes! Fourth Master! We can still fight again! Lead us to charge once more!"

"Destroy the Skywind Valley! Destroy the Skywind Demon Kingdom!"

In an instant, the sound was as loud as thunder, and the tragic atmosphere shook the sky.

Looking at the animal faces around him that were very different from humans but full of righteousness, Gu Zhinan had tears in his eyes.

I don't know what to say.

The white-clothed female swordsman standing beside her also had moving eyes.

She looked deeply at Mr. Gu Si, who was being worshipped by the whole audience.

He turned around and looked at the sad moon in the sky, as if thinking about something.

"Master, tell me, why is everyone like this?"

Gu Zhinan lifted up the barely breathing Xuan Jizi, and True Qi hatched from his palm.

Prepare to use "Ni Xue San Sheng Jue" to heal his wounds.

A female voice sighed in my ear: "It's useless. My Nixue Sansheng Jue can indeed heal the three elements of mind, body and soul to a certain extent, but..."

"He forcibly used forbidden spells, reversed yin and yang, and seized destiny. His soul was sacrificed. Didn't you notice?"

"ah."

Gu Zhinan was shocked.

Suddenly I thought of something.

That day at the dome of the Demonic Buddhist Kingdom, before rescuing the young Taoist priest Yuxuzi, the little guy was also using this forbidden soul-transforming technique!

"Sir, this fairy is right."

"I am beyond help."

Xuanjizi smiled sadly, and held the young man's hand with his last bit of strength: "However, at the last moment, I have no regrets in my life to see you return as promised, Fourth Young Master!"

"Let's not talk about this for now."

Gu Zhinan knew that the other party didn't have much time left, so he suppressed his grief and asked directly to the point: "My memory is not very clear after I woke up. What happened in Tianfeng Valley that day?"

"Also, why did you use the forbidden spell to make the brothers..."

"Sir, do you really not remember anything?"

Xuanjizi's pupil-less eye sockets suddenly twitched, and then he muttered to himself: "Is it really Nirvana rebirth?"

"Nirvana rebirth? What does that mean?"

Gu Zhinan asked.

Xuanji Ziqiang held on to his last breath and said, "That day we got the news that there was a demon causing chaos in Tianfeng Valley, so we went to quell the disaster. The king of the neighboring Tianfeng Kingdom also sent a powerful third-grade female witch and Gu sorcerer, leading an army of one thousand innate warriors, to come to help."

"A third-grade sorcerer?" Pei Jianxian frowned and asked, "Is this person good at shadow sorcery?"

"This fairy is"

"Oh, she is my close friend. I have relied on her to take care of me along the way." Gu Zhinan said.

Pei Jianxian pursed his lips but did not refute him in person.

"Xiaodao, I have seen the fairy."

Xuanjizi raised his hand with difficulty to salute, and then said: "Just as the fairy said, this woman is particularly good at the art of shadow poison. Not long after we entered the valley, the evil fog rose up and a group of fog monsters came towards us. Then, this woman revealed her true face and attacked us!"

"She led the group of Tianfeng Kingdom's imperial guards and the group of fog monsters to form a double-sided trap, trapping us at the bottom of the valley."

"At this time when we were in a dilemma, you, the Fourth Young Master, agreed to her request in order to protect everyone and went to negotiate with her alone."

"after."

"We have completely lost contact with you, and that abominable sorcerer has gone back on his word and continued to order the massacre of our brothers."

"Brothers knew that if we just sat there and waited for death, you, the fourth young master, would surely be in great danger in the enemy camp, so we fought desperately. We had repelled the Tianfeng army several times, but we didn't expect..."

"After three days of desperate fighting, many of our demon generals and vanguards were polluted by her shadow poison and became her minions."

"As a result, our numbers became fewer and fewer, and we were soon defeated. At this time, I discovered that her shadow poison, although pervasive, could only control living bodies, so..."

"I proposed this forbidden spell to all my brothers."

"Then, it will be just like what the Fourth Young Master is seeing now."

"But fortunately, we also repelled the sorcerer, and then walked out of Tianfeng Valley, killed the officials of the Demon Suppression Division who were controlled by the Shadow Gu, and used the Southwest Demon Suppression Division as our base camp. Every night, we patrolled the surrounding areas and killed evil monsters. It can be regarded as..."

"Continue to follow your will, protect the people, and uphold justice in the world."

"I see."

After hearing the whole story, Gu Zhinan took a deep breath.

Thinking of those spineless officials who surrendered to the Tianfeng Kingdom along the way, and then looking at the good demon brothers around him who would rather die than surrender, my heart was filled with sorrow.

These days, demons are more loyal than humans!

After calming down for a while, he asked again: "What do you mean by 'return as promised'? Did I say anything to you before I left?"

"Sir, are you serious? You have no memory at all?" Xuan Jizi said in a trembling voice.

"No." Gu Zhinan shook his head.

"Um."

Knowing that he didn't have much time, Xuanjizi didn't hesitate and said with a weak breath, "That day, the witch sorcerer shouted in front of the battle array, saying that if you, the young master, go and negotiate in person, she would let us go."

"So, you, my lord, ignored everyone's advice and resolutely went to the enemy camp alone."

"That night, the witch doctor's demon soldiers attacked us again. Before you left, you summoned me and told me two things."

"What?" Gu Zhinan asked.

"The first sentence was: You have experienced the same scene many times in your mind. You said that you would definitely find the only solution, wash away all the dust, be reborn, and return to your brothers. When you said this, young master."

Xuanjizi looked at the bronze mirror that was faintly visible on the young man's collar. "He kept pulling at the bronze mirror. I didn't understand why. I asked him why. He just smiled and didn't answer."

Gu Zhinan's heart was shocked.

Is this thing really left by Gu Si?

Is he me?

But my memories of Blue Star are also real!

"What about the second sentence?"

Seeing that the other person's vitality was getting weaker and weaker, Gu Zhinan asked again.

Xuanjizi stared into space and murmured, "As for the second sentence, I was more impressed. When the young master left the military tent, he turned around and said it to me with a smile. That sentence gave me and my brothers unlimited motivation, making us determined to fight to the last moment!"

Gu Zhinan was stunned and asked, "What did I say?"

"The Master said"

Xuanjizi thought about it, and tried his best to imitate the Fourth Master's tragic, sad, yet confident and cheerful tone at that time:

"Evil will prevail over good! It will win!"

“.”

Gu Zhinan was speechless.

Something is wrong.

How come this guy has the same eccentric personality as him?

"Fourth Master, this fairy is..."

Xuan Jizi's eyes fell on the female sword fairy in white, who had unfathomable cultivation and powerful sword intent, and asked in a low voice: "Is she the only solution?"

"I, I don't know."

Gu Zhinan shook his head, then looked around, completely letting down his guard. The kind demon heroic spirits burst into tears in front of him, the Fourth Master.

A word suddenly occurred to him.

Besieged on all sides But.

Fourth Master Gu is far inferior to the King of Chu in his previous life.

At least until the last moment, Xiang Yu lived and died together with his soldiers.

With a heavy heart, he asked in a low voice:

"When your spirit is exhausted, the Heroic Spirit Banner will also dissipate, right?"

"Yes, yes."

"Then, you and your brothers will all disappear into the world and never enter reincarnation again, right?"

"yes."

Xuanjizi smiled sadly and heroically, "Don't take it to heart, Fourth Master! From the moment we decided to follow you south and step into this foul and filthy southwest land, we were determined to sacrifice!"

"In fact, that day, giving up the physical body, forbidding reincarnation, and stepping into the Heroic Spirit Banner was a unanimous decision made by the brothers! Really! None of us regretted it!"

"These are the brothers you made! We are all strong men like you, Fourth Master!"

“.”

Gu Zhinan was speechless. He looked up at the sky and held back the hot tears in his eyes.

He can cry.

But Fourth Master Gu couldn't.

He is the hope of everyone.

He wanted his brothers to leave peacefully and with hope at the last moment.

"Xuan Ji, I have met your two disciples. They are very good and as upright as you."

Gu Zhinan held the young Taoist priest's gradually cooling hand tightly and spoke word by word.

"Ah, Yuxuzi, Kunxuzi, these two little guys, I, as their master, feel so sorry for them"

Mentioning the two cute and clever young disciples, the master of Qingfeng Temple smiled, and then tears couldn't help but roll down from his empty eyes.

"Master, I have forgotten most of what happened between you and me back then."

"Tell me again, okay?"

"Okay, Fourth Master."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The young Taoist priest looked into space and said, "I was born into a famous family in the Imperial Capital. My family was plotted against by the Imperial Master and his gang. My parents died tragically and my family fell into poverty. I became a beggar with no food to eat. On that winter solstice, I was starving and cold and could not stand it any longer. I heard that the fourth son of the Gu family in Beihai came to the Imperial Capital and was in Mengxiang Tower, making friends with wise men and recruiting guests. So I went there with the mentality of giving it a try, just to get a meal."

"At that time, I was ragged, unkempt, and my family was slandered by the national teacher as a traitor. No one wanted to pay attention to me and avoided me like a plague."

"Just then, the Fourth Master came over, took my hand, and walked into the hall, ignoring the gazes of the crowd."

"At that moment, I was a little distracted and forgot many details."

"But I remember that at that moment, the warm winter sun shone on the Fourth Master, as if he were a god."

"Later, the Fourth Master not only gave me a good meal, but also gave me a bag of silver before we left. He told me to work hard and one day I would be able to restore the family's reputation."

"That night, I pondered over what the Fourth Master said, and decided to leave the Imperial Capital and head south to seek the Dao. Later, I was able to worship the Master of Qingfeng Temple as my teacher, entered the Daoist sect, and achieved a decent level of Daoism."

"The next time I met you, Fourth Master, was when you went south. You were still in Qingfeng Temple and wrote that poem for me."

"The land is filled with grief and blood, and all you want is to save the people?"

"Yes! From that moment on, I made a vow to follow the Fourth Master until death to uphold justice in the world and save the people from suffering!"

“.”

Gu Zhinan shook his head gently, his eyes reddening again.

"Fourth Master, you don't have to feel sad for us!"

Xuanjizi said: "Just as you said, Fourth Master - the spirit is immortal! This filthy world full of evil spirits always needs fools like us who are not afraid of life and death and bravely move forward!"

"What's more, that meal and that bag of change."

"This is the only kindness I have received in my first half of life."

"But there is no need to use this forbidden spell. You know, you have violated the way of heaven and forbidden reincarnation. If you die, you will completely disappear in the universe."

Pei Jianxian at the side could not help but ask: "A meal and a bag of silver coins, can you pay for all this?"

"Fairy, this is wrong."

Xuanjizi shook his head, used up his last bit of strength, stood up tremblingly, and waved the ebony sword in his hand! "Report your favor on the Golden Stage, and I will help Yulong die for you!"

One word comes out.

All the monsters echoed and said in unison: "I will report your kindness on the Golden Stage and help you die with the Jade Dragon!"

Instantly, all the heroic spirits in the audience bowed to the Fourth Master Gu! As they watched the demons and ghosts gradually dissipate until they completely disappeared, those blurred ghost faces were all filled with tragic and regretless smiles!

Gu Zhinan finally understood why there were so many fearless assassins in the ancient times of his previous life.

He suppressed the sadness in his heart, stood up, bowed to the ghosts, and said in a loud voice:

"Gu Zhinan - cheering you all on!"

"Because of the sacrifices, we have great ambitions. We dare to change the sun and the moon into a new sky!"

"Next, I will lead you all in your pursuit of success and kill all the evil demons of Tianfeng, and live up to your expectations!"

"When all evil is eradicated and the world is at peace, your names will be on the monument of merit!"

"I, Gu Zhinan, will never enjoy this glory alone!"

After saying that.

With an inexplicable emotion, he took off the Baidi Yumo Flute from his waist and played a vigorous and passionate tune.

All the demon generals echoed and sang high-pitched war songs.

In an instant, the silent backyard of the Demon Suppression Division became bustling with activity and fighting spirit.

The heroic scene when they swore to march south also appeared before everyone's eyes.

After a moment.

The brief excitement faded away.

The surroundings gradually became quiet.

The good demon heroic spirits around who echoed the singing disappeared into the wind with smiles on their faces.

On the desolate slope of the backyard, there was only a tall and handsome nobleman left. He held a flute and played it alone to the moon, with a sad but determined look on his face.

call out.

The bronze mirror on the young man's chest emitted a powerful golden light for a moment, and then immediately disappeared.

It seemed that he did not dare to disturb him.

"Complete the mission: [Explore the Southwest Demon Suppression Division Chief Guard]"

"Experience points gained: 500 points."

"Complete the commissioned task: [Help Kunxuzi find his master.]"

"Experience points gained: 300 points."

"That man was a proud Taoist priest, but he turned into a ghost for you."

"Gu Zhinan, you have to work hard."

After a long, long time, the female sword fairy in white clothes sitting next to him, hugging a pair of beautiful legs in black stockings, spoke in a rare gentle voice.

"Um."

Gu Zhinan nodded slightly and put away the jade flute.

"What are your plans next?"

Fairy Pei lowered her eyes and drew circles on the ground with her slender jade fingers.

"Fairy, I have already promised them."

“I will walk this road to the end.”

Gu Zhinan said: "I will go to Tianfeng Kingdom next and join hands with Fairy Ning to destroy the unforgivable Venerable and the King of Tianfeng."

"As for you, fairy..."

Master Gu paused, his eyes also filled with a little apology: "Yes, the fairy has told me many times that Southwest Guard is the last place outside the plan for you to accompany me. Therefore, you are naturally unwilling to wade into the muddy water of Tianfeng Country. Of course, I am not qualified to ask the fairy to do anything."

"but."

"I can't accompany you to the capital for the time being. All good things must come to an end. But I want to tell you that I will be with you for the time we've been together."

Gu Zhinan was silent for a second, then said sincerely, "This is the happiest time of my life."

The female swordsman in white listened quietly without saying a word.

The jade hand that was originally drawing circles began to smear randomly.

"Sorry, fairy."

Seeing that this female sword fairy who always had a domineering and tough attitude was silent at this moment, Gu Zhinan was also a little sad, "I promised the fairy, but I have to break my oath. If the fairy is angry, you can kill me with a sword."

"I have absolutely no complaints."

As he spoke, he took out the Xue Ji Immortal Sword from the book basket behind him and came in front of the female swordsman in white.

"This sword was entrusted to me by the fairy. It is the symbol of my becoming the sword slave of the fairy star."

"Now, you might as well use it to take my life."

Fairy Pei still kept her head down and said nothing.

He did not take the sword.

"Thanks."

Gu Zhinan bent down and placed Xue Ji next to the pair of beautiful legs in black stockings.

Then, he bowed three times sincerely to the female boss who had saved him countless times along the way.

Finally, he raised his eyes and looked deeply into her breathtakingly beautiful face under the moonlight.

In an instant, countless past scenes flooded into my mind.

From the bond they had at Black Tiger Mountain, to the trial of the dog officials in Qingtian County and Jinyang Prefecture to rescue the people, to the first kiss they had in a hypnotic state on the dome of the Demonic Buddha Kingdom , the final scene was frozen at this moment of parting.

For a moment, my heart was filled with sadness.

But not desperate.

No one in this world has the obligation to always be with anyone.

Just as Pei Jianxian said -

The brave are fearless and walk alone on the great path!

"See you again if we're lucky, Sister Pei."

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Mr. Gu felt at ease. After saying something in his heart, he turned around and left without any obsession.

Just as he pushed open the back door——

A cold female voice came:

"You haven't paid me back the money you owe me."

"ah?"

Gu Zhinan was stunned and looked back at the plump and graceful figure in white who was hugging her legs in black stockings.

"Xuan Jizi said that the sorcerer was a third-rank sorcerer. If you go to Tianfeng Country, Ning Caiwei's limited skills won't be able to protect you."

Pei Wanyu shook her head. "If you die, you won't be able to pay back the money."

"I see."

Gu Zhinan laughed in silence, "Don't worry, Fairy. Before I enter Tianfeng Country, I will write a letter and ask Fairy Ning to help send it to the Gu family in Beihai, asking the family to help pay back the money. I think, after all, we are one of the eight great families that protect the country, and we are a family that is qualified to rule the dynasty. It is not that we can't even come up with this little money, right?"

"you"

Fairy Pei bit her lip gently, "Even if the money is paid back, what can you use to pay back the life you owe me?"

“.”

Gu Zhinan was at a loss as to what to do.

If it were normal times, he would respond with a few flirtatious remarks, but now, he really didn't have the mood to do so.

"Fairy, I will try my best to come back alive from Tianfeng Country. I will return everything to you with my own hands."

After thinking for a long time, Gu Zhinan said sincerely.

Then, I saw that the other party stopped talking again.

With a light sigh, he turned and left.

Whoosh.

A gentle night breeze blows.

A quiet female voice accompanied it:

"What a stupid pig."

"I, maybe, can help you"

"Mr. Gu."

Gu Zhinan was stunned for a long time after hearing this.

Suddenly, just like the Chaoshan people who saw the general in his previous life, he waved his hands with tears in his eyes and flew towards the isolated and beautiful figure on the barren hill!

"Fairy! Fairy, you are so kind to me!"

"Loyalty! Must be loyal!"

He put his arms around the soft waist of this young female swordsman, expressing his loyalty.

He was surprised to find that the opponent did not use sword pressure to blast him away!

Not only that, the female boss's cheeks also had a faint blush! After spending so much time together, he instantly made a conclusion: it was a blush of shyness like a girl, not the usual shame and anger! Seeing the atmosphere was getting heated.

He is ready to go against the will of heaven!

From behind, he boldly kissed Pei Wanyu's slightly red, round earlobe . At the same time.

Tianfeng Country, Miaoyin Pavilion.

Liu Nanyin, the head of Miaoyin Pavilion, who still has charm, beautiful appearance, and skin better maintained than that of a young girl in her twenties, came to the door of the Holy Maiden Hall.

As the head of a sect, she was actually a little nervous at this moment.

Her round oval face, with delicate makeup and resembling that of a lady, was filled with anxiety. The plump, white cleavage in front of her low-cut skirt, which had a perfect opening, swayed up and down with her disordered breathing.

After thinking for a moment, she forced a smile, knocked on the door lightly, and said in an extremely gentle tone:

"My dear disciple, stop practicing for now and pack up. The Lord wants to see you."

"Master, I feel very uncomfortable today. Please tell the king that we will see you at his birthday banquet in three days."

The voice of Saint Ziwei came from inside the house.

Liu Nanyin frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but at this moment, the steward behind her reported: "Oh no, Pavilion Master, the prince is here too!"

"What!?"

Inside the bedroom of the Holy Maiden Palace.

"call--"

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, you are so mean to me. Caiwei has never seen a bad man like you in her life. Come again..."

Fairy Ning's beautiful face was flushed and her whole body was shaking.

She is operating the miraculous effects of her "Linglong Ruyi Body".

laugh.

As the body of the Purple Star Saint twitched, her extremely long and slender legs straightened.

The scroll in his hand also fell quietly to the ground.
