Chapter 67 Divine Weapon
The setting sun is blood-red. Beside the avenue not far from Chengshan City, stands the Yuelai Inn.
Kuangdao Gu Ying, with his beard untidy and hair disheveled, sat alone in a corner drinking in a decadent manner, no longer having the sharp edge that Wang Yao had when he first met him.
Wang Yao was very alert, his internal energy flowing, ready to take action at any time.
Yan Wu shook her head slightly, indicating not to act rashly, and instead took Wang Yao to sit at Gu Ying's desk.
Gu Ying just raised her head slightly and glanced at him, then said drunkenly, "You're here. I've been waiting for a long time."
"Waiter, bring another pot of top-quality Huadiao wine and some side dishes." Wang Yao knew that the fight probably wouldn't happen.
The business of the inn is not very good. There are few guests in the entire lobby on the first floor, and those who are there are busy eating.
Although Yan Wu was not wearing official uniform, Gu Ying recognized the identity of the person at a glance and he no longer wanted to run away.
Yan Wu took out the token and placed it in front of Gu Ying, saying softly, "This is my Wu Bu token. You can say whatever you want to say. If the murderer is not you, please tell me the details of the situation."
Gu Ying's expression was gloomy, and he looked at Yan Wu with a pair of dazed eyes and said, "After I finish speaking, it's up to you whether you believe it or not.
You all know the name "Crazy Blade," right? People think it's because of my swordsmanship or my violent and violent personality, but it's actually a sword I came across by chance, "Crazy Blade."
Wang Yao and Yan Wu both looked at the plain knife in Gu Ying's hand. It had no special features. Gu Ying did not explain, but just gently stroked the blade.
He continued, "I'm extremely compatible with Crazy Blade. I achieved great success within a year, and after three years, I'm ranked in the top ten of the Yellow List. How impressive!
However, there is a big drawback to practicing this crazy sword. It makes me manic and irritable, and I will draw my sword when I am unhappy.
But I never imagined that I would kill indiscriminately, or even massacre more than a thousand innocent people."
Wang Yao frowned and asked seriously, "Did you really do it?"
Gu Ying frantically grabbed his hair with both hands, tears streaming down his face as he spoke hysterically, "I don't know either. I stayed overnight at Zhaojiabao, and when I woke up the next day, I was in the mountains a few miles away.
I was covered in blood and had no idea what had happened. I just thought I had killed some wild animals in the mountains while sleepwalking.
In order to avoid harming innocent people, I did not leave the mountain at that time, but instead practiced meditation in the mountains.
A few days later, Hong Jiu, a kind-hearted man who had retired from society, saw me and wanted to arrest me, insisting on bringing me to justice. I knew nothing and just ran away."
Yan Wu was unable to tell the truth from the falsehood at this moment. Seeing that Gu Ying looked crazy and was about to lose his mind.
He quickly asked, "Calm down! We're still not sure if it was you. Let me ask you, how did Hong Jiu die? Why is there a mark of your swordsmanship between his eyebrows?"
Gu Ying heard that Hong Jiu had calmed down, and his increasingly crazy expression gradually subsided. He let go of the hand that was grabbing his hair, and took a sip of the Huadiao wine that had just been served.
“Old Hong is a good man and very powerful. Even though I tried every possible means, I couldn’t escape and was caught by him.
Oh, yes, that was the day I blackmailed you, but you didn't stop him." Gu Ying smiled and raised her glass to toast Wang Yao.
Wang Yao also remembered that day. Wasn’t Gu Ying a very funny person?
"Cheers to you. Hong Jiu shouldn't have done anything to you, right?" Wang Yao hadn't eaten yet, so he picked up the glass and drank it all.
Gu Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, Old Hong told me that Zhaojiabao was gone, but I couldn't believe it and said I had no idea.
But when Mr. Hong brought me to Zhaojiabao, I believed it. Teams of yamen runners were guarding there, ready to burn it.
There are still many bodies that have not been claimed by their relatives. I have seen the knife marks between the eyebrows, and they were indeed caused by my crazy knife.
Immediately, Mr. Hong wanted to take me to your Wuchao Division to confess my crime, saying that if there was any hidden secret, only you could find it out."
Yan Wu nodded and said, "We found out something, but you have to explain everything clearly."
Gu Ying fell into reminiscence as she spoke, "The main reason is that even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me. At that time, several people came to Zhaojiabao wearing very bright and strange clothes. They all wore masks so that their faces could not be seen clearly.
I didn't know these people, but Mr. Hong's face changed drastically, as if he had seen something terrifying. He was facing a great enemy and told me to cover my mouth and nose.
Immediately, the yamen runners at the scene fell to the ground one after another, as if they had been ambushed.
But a moment later, they got up and surrounded us with expressionless faces, their faces pale, as if the people looking at me were not alive.
Wang Yao and Yan Wu exchanged a glance, and Yan Wu returned a look of confirmation, saying, "The Gu Du Sect does like brightly colored and bizarre clothing."
Gu Ying seemed to recall something extremely painful, and grabbed the mad knife beside him, holding the handle tightly.
"Hong Lao Er didn't say a word and pulled me through the yamen runners' encirclement. Those people in brightly colored clothes didn't try to stop us.
After running for a distance, Mr. Hong suddenly stopped, turned around and smiled at me. My scalp tingled. You don't understand what that kind of smile is like.
I knew that Mr. Hong had been infected, and just when I didn't know what to do, I lost consciousness again.
When I woke up, I was lying on the ground, next to Old Hong. He was dead, with a knife mark between his eyebrows. It was my knife.
Wang Yao asked curiously, "What happened? Would you lose consciousness like this after possessing the Mad Blade?"
"No, the incident at Zhaojiabao was probably the first time, and killing Mr. Hong was probably the second time." Gu Ying shook her head in agony.
Wang Yao guessed a little bit of the truth and continued to ask, "Did you find anything unusual when you stayed at Zhaojiabao? I'm talking about the residents of Zhaojiabao."
Gu Ying thought for a moment and said, "They were very enthusiastic, even a little too enthusiastic. They kept preparing delicious food for me and asked me to eat more, but I was too full at the time so I didn't eat."
Yan Wu also seemed to have a sudden realization and said, "It seems that it is possible that Zhaojiabao was already under control at that time."
"I think so too. It is possible that the Gu Du Sect is targeting you, but why are they putting so much effort into it?" Wang Yao was a little confused.
Gu Ying asked, "The Gudu Sect? What kind of sect is that? Are those weird people in brightly colored clothes?
I remembered that they had always been around me, appearing and disappearing, but always keeping a certain distance."
Wang Yao didn’t know much about the Gu Du Sect, so he could only look at Yan Wu to see what she knew.
Yan Wu poured herself a glass of wine, took a sip, and stared at the mad knife in Gu Ying's hand.
"There is only one possibility, Gu Ying's Crazy Blade is a divine weapon!"
"Magic weapon?" Wang Yao was puzzled.
Gu Ying's expression changed drastically, and he held Kuang Dao's hand even tighter.
Yan Wu glanced at Gu Ying calmly and said, "It seems that Kuang Dao's origins are indeed unusual, but only the explanation of a divine weapon can explain why he loses consciousness every time.
The divine weapon is the rarest weapon in the world, and there are only a few of them. Its greatest feature is that it protects its master.
When the master is unable to control it, it will take over the master's body and destroy anything that threatens it."
