Chapter 65: I bid you farewell a thousand miles away on my way to Xizhou, and send you soaring into the sky.
Gu Congxing looked at the bricks and stones, then concentrated on touching them.
“Wow—”
As soon as his fingertips touched the bricks, a pale purple formation appeared on it, and a bright light rushed towards Gu Congxing.
It’s another illusion of mind!
Gu Congxing did not resist at all, and the next moment, his consciousness was drawn into the illusion array again.
Just like he was in the underground palace at that time, he felt his body falling, and soon his body seemed to land on the ground.
The endless sounds of metal and armor, accompanied by roars and roars, hit his ears.
Gu Congxing opened his eyes, but stood there in shock.
What is before our eyes is actually the battlefield of the ancient war between immortals and demons!
Thousands of demons were roaring and monks were fighting fiercely. This was far from being like the Immortal Sect Competition where only a hundred monks were fighting against monsters. Looking around, there was no end in sight for this battlefield.
Among the many cultivators, there was a cultivator in white and purple robes with outstanding swordsmanship and surging spiritual waves. In just a moment, he had killed nearly ten high-level monsters.
With his sword that slew demons and evil spirits and his appearance as an immortal, he was so charming that people couldn't take their eyes off him just by standing there.
That person used the Liuyun sword technique, could it be... the ancestor of the Gu family?
The monks around him breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him and moved closer to him. One of them, a handsome monk in black robes, whispered to him, and it was obvious that they were very familiar with each other.
However, the next moment, there were lightning and thunder in the sky, and a long black dragon broke through the clouds!
The purple-robed monk immediately rushed forward with his sword, engaging in a battle with the black dragon. The clash of spiritual and magical powers unexpectedly caused another strange phenomenon to occur in the sky.
Amidst the flash of swords and blood, the black dragon wrapped around the purple-robed monk. The monk's resolute and indifferent expression was reflected in its golden vertical pupils. The pupils actually shrank and it opened its bloody mouth in anger!
Gu Congxing looked at the battle in the air, feeling shocked but also somewhat familiar, and was surprised to find that this was the scene of the stone wall of the underground palace!
This is actually the battle between the ancestor of the Gu family and the demon Xuanlong!
At this moment, the huge black dragon that seemed to be going to swallow the purple-robed monk in one gulp roared again and swept him down rapidly!
Several monks who were also wearing purple robes cried out in pain, "Senior Brother," and rushed towards the falling place. The monk in black robes turned his eyes and silently slipped into the shadow of the trees.
The figures of the monk and the demon had already appeared in front of Gu Congxing.
The black dragon had transformed into a human form at this moment. A burly and heroic man with black hair and golden eyes was pressing down the purple-robed monk. The two men looked at each other silently. After a while, the black dragon spoke first.
Gu Congxing couldn't hear clearly what he said. He tried his best to get closer with his consciousness, but he saw that the demon lord with dragon horns on his head had red eyes and tears were falling.
Gu Congxing was shocked. He immediately went to look at the ancestor of the Gu family, only to see that he was also stunned on the spot with a shaky expression.
The demon lord looked ferocious, but his tears revealed that he felt a little aggrieved.
The purple-robed monk was silent for a moment, then sighed and said something.
The next moment, he grabbed the Demon Lord's clothes, pulled them down hard, tilted his head back and kissed him!
Gu Congxing looked at this scene and his eyes suddenly widened.
He was horrified, but at this moment there was a faint flash of spiritual power in the shadow of the tree. The next moment, a strange red light burst out from the pupils of the Demon Lord.
He covered his head and growled in pain. The purple-robed monk frowned and stepped forward, asking anxiously.
Gu Congxing looked at the two of them and had to admit the incredible guess in his mind -
There is actually love between the ancestor of the Gu family and the devil.
However, the spiritual power in the tree shadows fluctuated again, and the Demon Lord's pupils turned completely red. The next moment, he actually let out a long roar and attacked the cultivator's heart with one claw!
"puff--"
The purple-robed monk was pierced through the chest by the black-scaled claws and immediately vomited a mouthful of blood.
But the look he gave the Demon Lord was not one of hatred, but of shock and sorrow.
At this moment, the other purple-robed monks were about to arrive. They roared angrily and immediately drew their swords to kill the Demon Lord.
The Demon Lord's eyes were still bloodshot and his demonic aura was surging, but he did not attack in the face of the attack, but just tried his best to dodge.
He wanted to touch the purple-robed monk lying in a pool of blood, but one of his arms was cut off and he was swept into the air by other demonic dragons that arrived and disappeared without a trace.
At this time, the black-robed cultivator appeared from the shadow of the tree.
He gently embraced the purple-robed monk who had fallen to the ground. The other monks burst into tears when they saw that the purple-robed monk's life force was gradually fading.
But Gu Congxing clearly saw that although the black-robed cultivator was crying, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
After that, the war between humans and demons intensified. The purple-clothed Gu disciples gradually became the main force of the anti-demon alliance in their grief and anger. They eventually killed the Demon Lord and forced the demons back into the Fushen Forest. They even moved their clan to the Dragon Bone Mountain adjacent to the Fushen Forest.
Since then, the Gu family has been given the title of "the famous family that suppresses demons."
Everything in sight is frozen and eventually fades away.
"Owner?"
"Gu Congxing?"
A familiar call sounded in his ears. Gu Congxing shook his head and found that he had left the illusion.
Gu Ying and Si Junjian in front of him both looked worried. Gu Congxing signaled to them that he was fine and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Everyone knows that immortals and demons cannot coexist, and the Gu family has been fighting against the demons for a hundred years. But who can guess the source of all this? Maybe it was all a setup?
And the leaders of the two tribes, who should have been sworn enemies, once truly loved each other.
But even if it was an accident at the beginning, the blood feud and sins accumulated over the next hundred years were real, trapping the Gu family in the prison of hatred, and even making them willing to imprison themselves for a hundred years.
No, that's not right.
It wasn't a coincidence, but was done intentionally by the black-clothed talisman cultivator!
Gu Congxing's eyes darkened slightly.
The man's clothing did not have any sectarian characteristics, and although he looked handsome, Gu Congxing had never seen him before.
Who is that person?
He had a close relationship with Gu's ancestor, and was able to interfere between him and the demons, even framing both of them to death. He was definitely not an ordinary person.
Could it be that he is the man behind the scenes that my brother mentioned?
"Gu Congxing, are you really okay?"
Si Junjian's voice suddenly rang in his ears. Gu Congxing came back to his senses and nodded slightly to him.
"It's okay, I was just wondering..." Gu Congxing paused and continued, "What exactly does my brother want to tell me?"
"Speaking of which, I also have something to hand over to you."
Si Junjian said this and carefully took out the yellowed letter from his arms.
Gu Congxing: "What is this?"
Si Junjian said slowly, "These are letters from Gu Mingting, but only the first one is for me. The rest... are all for you."
Gu Congxing's eyes moved and he took the letter with both hands.
He took a deep breath and slowly opened the letter.
"Cong Xing, if you see this letter, it means that Gu Ying and Si Junjian have no ulterior motives towards you, and you can go forward with them.
The Tianshu is proof of the patriarch's authority, and it's also the secret treasure I wish to entrust to you. You must absorb my cultivation gradually, and don't be too greedy, or you might end up with the opposite effect.
Having Tianshu by your side is like having me by your side.
Congxing, please don’t hit people with this headband anymore.
After my death, Gu Xun will return to the Gu family as I instructed and take over my affairs. Cong Xing, if you want to go back, you can go back anytime. You are the only one Gu Xun recognizes as the next head of the family.
But even if you say so, you won't go back, right?
After all, you, even though you were locked up in the Punishment Tower, were still clamoring to investigate the truth behind the Kong family's massacre. How could you stop at this moment?
If you want to do it, just do it.
But this matter is of great importance. It not only concerns the Gu family, but may also involve the entire cultivation world. Have you really made up your mind?"
Gu Congxing looked at the page full of words, blinked his dark eyes, and turned to the next page.
"Cong Xing, the Kong family's annihilation was not the work of one person, just as the Gu family's chaos was not caused by a single person. If you wish to fight them, remember not to fight alone.
Gu Ji had long been in cahoots with the mastermind behind the family's massacre, a deep-seated connection. He also quietly infiltrated the Gu family after my father's death. When I learned of this, I wasn't strong enough, so I could only play along. I also had to accept Gu Ji's curse, preventing me from revealing the mastermind's name...
In recent years, disciples of the Immortal Sect have disappeared one after another, and even Jiang Zhou, a disciple of the Jiang family, died. These are not accidents, but deliberate acts by someone.
Congxing, if you want to investigate, you can go to Tianlin Sect with Si Junjian.
Find the fairy named Hua Yi among them, and you will know what you wish for.
But if you haven't found her, then go to the Western Wilderness Demon Realm.
Once you enter the Western Wilderness Demon Realm, remember, never let Si Junjian return to the Tianlin Sect."
Gu Congxing looked at the last line of words on the page and couldn't help but look up at Si Junjian.
Si Junjian was looking over here, and when he looked up, their eyes met.
"...What's wrong?" Si Junjian said this and shifted his gaze to the side.
Gu Congxing: "What did my brother say on the page he gave you?"
Si Junjian thought for a moment, frowned, and said, "He said that there's a hidden story behind Aunt Huayi's heart disease, and the secret might be related to the truth about my life. If I want to find out, it's best if I go with you."
"Is that so?" Gu Congxing lowered his eyes and nodded.
He turned to the last page of the letter.
"I'm sorry, Congxing, I wasn't strong enough before, and I just played along, but it made you sad.
Congxing, although I am gone, the free Gu family that I left behind will always be with you.
From the stars, Ah Xing.
You have always been my pride.
The road ahead is difficult, take care, take care."
Snap——
Tears splashed onto the paper, leaving a smudge of ink.
Gu Congxing folded the letter neatly in half twice and put it carefully in his arms.
"Gu Congxing..."
Si Junjian took a step closer, and Tiaotiao also "howled" a few times, walked forward with its tail wagging lightly, and raised its head to rub the back of Gu Congxing's hand.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Gu Congxing said softly, reaching out to stroke Tiaotiao's head.
He lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then closed his eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, Liuli's black eyes had regained their former brilliance.
"Gu Ying." He turned his gaze to Gu Ying, who was standing silently, and said in a decisive voice, "After that, I will rush to the Tianlin Sect, but the Gu family only has one elder, Gu Xun, and I'm afraid he is not capable enough. Could you go back to the Gu family first and lend him a hand?"
Gu Ying clasped his fists and saluted: "Yes, Master."
Gu Congxing summoned a communication token from the storage ring and placed it in Gu Ying's arms.
"If you have any questions, please tell me at any time. Blood Spirit Secret Letters are harmful to the body, so it is better to use them less."
Gu Ying's eyes moved and she nodded in agreement.
"The master and the head of the family are indeed very similar." He spoke suddenly, his voice not loud but fluent, "You are both very gentle and kind people."
"Really?" Gu Congxing frowned and smiled, patting Gu Ying's shoulder.
Si Junjian watched their actions from the side, and his red eyes reflected Gu Congxing's hand on Gu Ying's shoulder.
Tiaotiao's tail stood up and a few muffled roars came from his throat.
Gu Congxing turned around when he heard the voice and met Si Junjian who looked surprised.
Why do you look unhappy?
"...Can you wait for me here for a moment?" Gu Congxing approached Si Junjian, raised his eyes to look at him, and the red mole on his eyelids was faintly visible. "I will go and say goodbye to Master, and then go to Xizhou with you."
The faint fragrance of Yuelin wafted around him. Si Junjian turned his head and said in a flat voice: "Well. Then I will wait for you in this courtyard."
Gu Congxing raised the corner of his lips slightly and turned to walk towards Lengquan Xuanbing Palace.
"Master."
He called out loudly and came to the white figure.
The silver hair fluttered, and in an instant a cold touch touched Gu Congxing's cheek.
Gu Congxing covered Chen Mu's hand with one hand and raised his head to look at him.
"Master, I want to go to Tianlin Sect with Si Junjian. According to my brother, there are clues there that I want to know."
Shen Mu's thumb stroked the corner of his eye, his voice still calm: "This trip is dangerous, don't be careless."
"Well, Master..." Gu Congxing hesitated for a moment and continued, "Aren't you going to be with me this time?"
Shen Mu's eyes moved slightly.
As soon as Gu Congxing asked this question, she frowned and bit her lip, as if she felt a little regretful, but she still looked up at him.
"...I need to go into seclusion for two months." Shen Mu said.
"That's it." Gu Congxing nodded slightly, as if he had expected it. "Then Master, I will try to come back before you come out of seclusion."
"That way, when you come out of seclusion, you'll see me first."
Shen Mu looked at him for a long time and nodded silently.
Gu Congxing blinked and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
The next moment, he was already standing on tiptoe, hugging Shen Mu tightly.
He rested his head on Shen Mu's shoulder and whispered in his ear.
"Master, if you come out of retreat first, please come find me."
The coquettish breath fell on the side of his neck, and Shen Mu's body stiffened.
His icy blue eyes suddenly widened.
He slowly said "OK", but before he could move, Gu Congxing had already released his embrace and left quickly.
His figure disappeared into the ice palace like a white bird.
Chen Mu looked at the empty ice palace and suddenly realized how empty and quiet it was.
The vines in the spiritual palace were struggling to bloom again. As Shenmu's spiritual power surged, extremely cold ice condensed on the petals of the vines.
"In two months, once the vine patterns are removed, we can meet again."
As Chen Mu muttered to himself, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
It was a smile like eternal ice illuminated by the sunlight, like ice and snow melting.
"You're back."
Si Junjian looked at Gu Congxing who was walking towards him and stood up from the stone chair.
"Well, let's go."
Gu Congxing bid farewell to his master, wrote a letter to his eldest brother and his youngest brother, and then reunited with Si Junjian.
He was about to summon the Whale Slayer when he heard Si Junjian say, "No need. Just sit on Tiao Tiao with me."
Gu Congxing looked up in surprise: "But Tiaotiao always lets you sit alone..."
"Hmph, since it likes you, it will allow you to do so." Si Junjian glanced at Tiaotiao and turned over to sit on it.
Tiaotiao raised his head and let out a long roar, and his body suddenly became as big as a mountain, looking mighty and majestic.
It turned its head towards Gu Congxing, tilted its head, and swept its tail across his arm.
"Thank you, Tiaotiao."
Gu Congxing chuckled and turned over.
“Ouch—”
The silver wolf monster shouted loudly, jumped with a tap of its feet, and went straight to the top of the clouds.
The long scarlet ribbon with Tianshu hanging from it fluttered in Gu Congxing's hair.
He took out the letter from his arms again, and a light flashed in his black eyes.
Brother, look at me.
I will keep going.
For those who have passed away.
For those who are about to die.
for you.
For the future.
—For the future you have created for me.
“Swish——”
The long wind whistles by, I bid you farewell for thousands of miles, and send you soaring into the sky.
In this endless breeze, he will always be with me.
