Chapter 63: Divine intercourse, blood kiss, lips and tongues touching, souls and spirits blending together. ...
"Brother, someone calling himself Gu Ying is outside the sect looking for you."
In the Tianlin sect, the direct disciple Xu Ke came to the outside of Si Junjian's cave and called out.
Si Junjian was about to complete his retreat. When he opened his eyes, light flowed around him, and his red eyes became clearer.
He stepped out, frowned and said, "Gu Ying? Who is this?" Is there anyone like this in the Gu family?
Xu Ke pretended to be lost in thought and was about to speak, but at this moment a long white shadow appeared above the cave.
"I am the Gu family's shadow guard. I serve the master of the family."
The man with yellow-blue eyes was tall, slender, and not muscular. His skin was white, and his expression was cold. He was a striking figure, but when he was silent, he seemed to fade into the shadows, completely silent.
Xu Ke immediately frowned: "How rude! Even if you are from the Gu family, how can you trespass here without permission..."
"Xu Ke, you've said too much." Si Junjian interrupted his junior brother. He looked at Gu Ying, who had an expressionless face, and asked, "Fellow Daoist Gu, why are you here?"
Gu Ying blinked, jumped and came in front of Si Junjian.
He stared at Si Junjian silently. Although his face was expressionless, there was an inexplicable sense of scrutiny in his eyes, as if he was silently weighing something.
Tsui Hark once again shouted: "Hey! You guy——"
"Tsui Hark, go back." Si Junjian spoke in a cold voice, his tone brooking no room for argument.
“…Senior Brother!”
"go back."
"Tsk!" Tsui Hark smacked his lips and turned away with a surprised look on his face.
After confirming that no one else was around, Si Junjian spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Gu, your hesitation is probably related to the Gu family's affairs? Could it be... related to Gu Congxing?"
Hearing this, Gu Ying lowered her eyes.
"yes."
He took out a storage ring from his arms, and as his spiritual power surged, he summoned out a letter.
It was obviously an ordinary piece of paper, even a little yellowed, but Gu Ying held it carefully and even stroked it tenderly.
Si Junjian frowned and watched his movements. After a moment, Gu Ying actually handed the letter to him.
Si Junjian: "What is this...?"
"This is the patriarch's relic." Gu Ying's speech was not fluent to begin with, and when she spoke this, her voice was extremely low, her eyebrows lowered, "He instructed me to give it to you."
Si Junjian was surprised when he heard this.
Relics... Could it be that Gu Mingting, the head of the Gu family, has died?!
That Soul-Breaking Sword Gu Mingting whose fame is rising rapidly?
He looked at Gu Ying again, and only then realized that this white-haired young man, who seemed neither sad nor happy, was standing there silently, with an invisible dark cloud covering his whole body.
There are clearly no tears, yet it seems as if it is carrying endless bitter wind and rain.
Si Junjian frowned and looked at the letter in his hand, then opened it directly.
He read it carefully under Gu Ying's gaze, and his expression changed from calm to surprise and suspicion, and finally to solemnity.
He solemnly put the letter away and said, "...I need to go find Gu Congxing first."
Gu Ying nodded slightly.
"Then I'll go with you."
***
While traveling in Beizhou, it suddenly started to rain heavily, with cold winds raging and dark clouds rolling.
In the midst of a violent storm, Chen Mu carried Gu Congxing to a cave near Longgu Mountain.
He gently placed the person in his arms on the ground and stood beside him silently.
Gu Congxing sat silently, clutching the scarlet hairband in his hand, with no light in his black eyes.
The vitality that was always so vibrant in him seemed to be buried in the underground palace.
Shen Mu's sleeves moved slightly, as if he wanted to touch him, but he withdrew his hand.
"...From the stars."
Gu Congxing's fingers trembled, and he responded softly: "Master."
There was another silence.
Chen Mu stared at the whorl of hair on Gu Congxing's head and looked away for a long time.
"Cong Xing, I'm going to set up a barrier outside the cave."
Gu Congxing nodded slowly without saying a word in response.
Chen Mu took two steps and whispered something to Gu Congxing with his back to him.
"Cong Xing...if you want to cry, then cry."
Gu Congxing's body trembled slightly, and Chen Mu had already left the cave.
He listened to the incessant sounds of wind and rain, tightly clutching the hairband left by Gu Mingting, and all he could see was a blur of scarlet.
"Brother, brother..."
Tears dripped onto the spiritual weapon Tianshu, and the cold sound was heard again.
The silver light bloomed faintly, appearing brighter in the dim cave.
"Tianshu?"
When Gu Congxing touched it, silver light exploded instantly, and tremendous spiritual power surged out!
“This, this is——”
Gu Congxing was about to pull his hand back, but when he felt the spiritual power, his movement stopped abruptly.
——This is Gu Mingting’s spiritual power.
"Brother..."
Gu Congxing's voice trembled and he stopped moving.
Familiar spiritual power surrounded him, as if playing with him, and the light purple light illuminated the black mist in Gu Congxing's eyes.
The next moment, the spiritual power attached to his arm and penetrated into his body like the morning breeze and spring rain.
Gu Congxing sensed the vast spiritual power within Tianshu, and tears welled up in his eyes again.
"I see, I see..."
"How could I forget that the reason Tianshu is listed as the first among the Tianji magic weapons is precisely because it can transform cultivation!"
The Tianshu Secret Treasure can directly store the cultivation of others into it and then directly pass it on to its owner. This should be an extremely dangerous transfer technique, but it can be done without any risk.
Precisely because the power of this thing is too strong, and there is a fear that it may be taken away by someone with ulterior motives to harm others, it has always been passed down only to the lineage of the head of the Gu family.
My brother had actually already decided to pass on his cultivation to me!
“…Brother!”
“Ahhhhhh!”
Gu Congxing felt the surging spiritual power flowing through his body, but his heart ached more and more.
It hurts. It hurts.
Not only my heart, but my body also began to ache, and my five senses began to fade away again.
"From the stars!"
Hearing urgent shouts in his ears, Gu Congxing covered his chest and raised his head with difficulty, and saw a flash of silver.
Is it Master?
Could Master’s voice also sound this panicked?
"Cong Xing, don't move!"
A pair of big hands supported his shoulders, and a trace of icy spiritual power penetrated into his body, but Gu Congxing had no time to care about it at this time. He was hit by pain all over his body, and even his spiritual breath began to flow turbulently like a stormy sea.
In this frenzy, only the words in his heart became clearer.
"I, I saved so many people, but I couldn't even save my only relative!!"
“Brother! Brother!!”
“Ah ...
He screamed in pain and vomited blood!
"From the stars!"
Chen Mu immediately acupunctured a few points on Gu Congxing's body, but was unable to stop the turbulent flow of spiritual energy!
Gu Congxing fought hard all night and was seriously injured. In just two days, he was first filled with grief and anger, and then with endless sorrow. His emotional ups and downs damaged his soul...
Now, under the stimulation of the new spiritual power that has entered his body, he is showing signs of going astray!
Shen Mu frowned, and with a wave of his sleeve he set up a shielding spirit formation at the entrance of the cave, then sat upright in front of Gu Congxing.
“Wow—”
Extremely pure spiritual power was slowly sent into Gu Congxing's body, but the spiritual power that was supposed to calm his soul was disrupted by the turbulent flow of gold as soon as it entered his body, and it had no effect at all!
"puff--"
Gu Congxing spat out another mouthful of blood.
"From the stars!"
Chen Mu hugged him, and he only thought for a moment before making up his mind.
The soul is damaged, the spiritual energy is turbulent, the current solution is -
Only spiritual communication.
He put one arm around Gu Congxing, and the ice-blue spiritual power flowed into his spiritual veins through his fingertips, and with the other hand he held Gu Congxing's hand.
Fingers interlocked.
"Master?" Gu Congxing sensed his movements and slowly raised his eyes.
Chen Mu and Gu Congxing looked into each other's eyes and leaned forward.
"The current situation requires spiritual communication."
Gu Congxing looked into those ice-blue eyes, and even at this moment when his consciousness was becoming increasingly confused, he suddenly felt cold all over.
“…Master, no!”
He spoke hastily, blood oozing from the corners of his lips again, but his pair of black eyes were burning.
"I've already caused my brother's death, how could I possibly harm my master again—!"
If the Master's vine patterns overflow, his cultivation will be completely destroyed! If so, then he...
Gu Congxing's lips trembled and he stopped talking.
But tears welled up in my eyes again.
Shen Mu touched his cheek and wiped away the tears on his face with his fingertips covered with sword calluses.
His voice was still calm, but it seemed to contain an undercurrent from the deep sea.
"No, Congxing. I'll be fine."
"I will never let anything happen to you."
After hearing what he said, Gu Congxing bit her lip and fell silent.
Chen Mu looked at the tears dripping from his eyelashes and moved closer.
Gu Congxing felt his breath getting closer and closer, and their foreheads touched, bringing a hint of warmth.
“Master…”
He turned his head and wanted to retreat again, but suddenly heard a whisper.
"From the stars."
"Don't die."
"Don't die."
Gu Congxing's eyes suddenly widened and his heart trembled violently.
He stared at the icy face so close to him without blinking and stopped moving.
Shen Mu held his face in his hands and closed his eyes.
Gu Congxing looked at his silver eyelashes, which looked like ice and snow that had accumulated for a long time.
The next moment, their lips touched.
There was clearly no sexual intent involved, just lips touching, but when he felt that cool softness, it was like he had fallen into a deep and beautiful dream.
Gu Congxing opened his mouth slightly.
The next moment, the original spiritual power carrying the power of the soul flowed out from Chen Mu's mouth and flowed into Gu Congxing's body.
Those spiritual powers seemed to have consciousness as they flowed through his limbs and bones. Unlike the ordinary ice spiritual powers just now, they forcefully stabilized the turbulent spiritual powers in his body and continued to move forward without stopping.
It was not until Gu Congxing's original spiritual power was tamed and returned to the Lingfu Yuandan, and circulated for another cycle, that the ice spiritual power slowly withdrew.
Shen Mu opened his eyes and looked into those black eyes.
"Master, Reverend..."
The turbulent flow of spiritual energy in Gu Congxing's body had been curbed. He felt Chen Mu retreat, and knew that the kiss was over. He made a soft sound -
But the next moment, Chen Mu covered him again.
This time, the spiritual power containing more spiritual power actually went upstream and penetrated directly into Gu Congxing's spiritual platform.
Gu Congxing was stunned.
The spiritual platform is too secretive for cultivators. It is fragile, easily damaged, and extremely important. Therefore, only the closest and most trusted people are allowed to enter.
Do you want others to explore your own spiritual world?
But this person is the master, so there was no second answer from the beginning.
"Follow the stars, don't be afraid."
Chen Mu transmitted the message in this way, but when his spiritual power probed the edge of Gu Congxing's spiritual platform and found that it was unobstructed, his eyes still moved.
The ice-blue spiritual energy swirled upwards and wandered within the spiritual platform.
The cultivator's spiritual platform is closely connected with his spiritual consciousness. Gu Congxing felt that Shen Mu's spiritual power had left traces there, and he felt that his soul was stained with ice and snow.
He couldn't help but shudder.
But the next moment, two big hands were touching his back and holding him tightly in their arms.
The wide white sleeves were folded, as if to hide him.
Gu Congxing felt the endless warmth in his body again.
The spiritual power in the body intertwined and rose up, first touching the edge of Gu Congxing's spiritual platform little by little, and then carefully blending into it.
It was like directly touching the soul. Even if it was extremely slight, it still caused Gu Congxing to have a strange and subtle feeling in his heart.
Not only the spiritual consciousness, but even the body seemed to be touched to the deepest part, and trembled one after another.
Chen Mu looked at Gu Congxing's subtle movements, his eyes dimmed.
The next moment, the spiritual power was no longer restrained and directly crashed into Gu Congxing's spiritual platform in its most original form.
Gu Congxing's throat rolled and he let out a whimper.
The purest ice spiritual power completely merged with his spiritual platform, gradually covering all the previously damaged areas.
The hidden injuries on his soul were gradually healed, and the pain throughout Gu Congxing's body slowly subsided.
Chen Mu's lips and tongue retreated, and he raised his eyes to look at Gu Congxing.
"Master."
Gu Congxing lowered his eyelids, and at that moment, he wanted to blurt out "sorry".
Why was he sorry? Was it because he felt guilty for causing his master to break his vows? Or was it because he was afraid that he would cause his vine patterns to overflow?
He doesn't know.
But he could feel the fear in his heart.
Now that his brother is gone, he has lost his home.
If he loses his master again, he, Gu Congxing, will probably have no place to settle down in this world.
But at this moment, he heard the familiar clear voice again.
"Don't be afraid."
Gu Congxing raised his eyes and met Chen Mu's ice-blue eyes.
The next moment, Gu Congxing's head was rubbed.
The same bony hands, the same warmth.
Gu Congxing felt a pang of pain in his nose.
"Go to sleep, Congxing."
As if by magic, as soon as he said this, Gu Congxing felt that the tiredness and sleepiness all over his body were no longer suppressed by the pain, and they surged out one after another.
"I will always be by your side."
Hearing this promise, Gu Congxing slowly closed his eyes.
He fell into the familiar darkness again.
Gu Congxing didn't see that the colorless stone slab in the air lit up again, and the characters kept flashing.
[Ding! Increased progress detected in destroying the Forgetful Vine Pattern!]
[Ding! Redemption increased...]
Shen Mu suddenly raised his eyes, and the chill all over his body increased suddenly.
Not only that, the extremely cold air also spread to the spiritual palace in his body.
Chen Mu blinked, and the chill was directed towards the vine pattern that was about to bloom its fifth petal!
Above the vine pattern, the petals condensed by spiritual power are frozen inch by inch!
[…Ding! A fault has been detected! A fault!]
[Beep! Vine destruction progress halted! The redemption target is forcibly interfering. Abort, abort!]
The stone slabs in the air were flashing wildly, but Gu Congxing, who was in a coma-like sleep, was unaware of it.
The extremely cold spiritual power that was enough to kill a cultivator who had reached the out-of-body state was sealed in Shen Mu's spiritual palace.
Shen Mu frowned, and spiritual energy surged throughout his body, even his silver hair and clothes floated up.
After a while, the spirit breath calmed down and everything returned to normal.
Chen Mu lowered his eyes to look at the young man in his arms.
The corners of his eyes were still red, and tears were hanging on his eyelashes.
Shen Mu put his fingertips on his face and touched a tear.
He moved his spiritual power slightly, and the tear condensed into an ice crystal.
He stared at the ice crystal for a while, then put it into his sleeve.
"From the stars."
Chen Mu stroked Gu Congxing's cheek and wiped away his tears.
A very light kiss landed on his forehead, like the first snow, and soon no trace remained.
