Chapter 296
The moment Shi Wan completely disappeared, Gu Hongying's hand could finally leave the hilt. With a clang, the Kunwu sword fell on the ice. The dense black patterns were distributed more and more evenly on the sword, until the dark red grooves were also covered with deep black.
Ever since the Kunwu Sword became his natal sword, Gu Hongying has always taken great care of it. No matter whether it is daily training or a mission, as long as he uses the Kunwu Sword, Gu Hongying will take good care of it after finishing, and will wipe and maintain it when he has nothing to do.
A swordsman will only have one natal sword in his life. The more harmonious he is with his natal sword, the more he can communicate with it.
This was the first time that Gu Hongying did not care about the Kunwu Sword. Even when the connection between him and the Kunwu Sword told him that the power of the Kunwu Sword with the sword spirit had reached a new level and was already the most powerful sword in the world, he still did not care.
Gu Hongying did not break down when he was in danger of being trapped by his bad luck. He did not break down when he was given amazing special training in addition to his studies. He did not break down when he was told that he was Bai Ze. He did not break down when he knew that everyone around him was hiding a plan from him. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain of physical training and spiritual infusion that could drive a person crazy... But he did not expect that when he was just one step away from the truth, there would be such a cruel sword casting.
He lowered his head. The red tassels lying quietly on the ice were so red that they were blinding. Gu Hongying stared at the long tassels. In an instant, many memories flashed through his mind—
He met his senior Shi Wan for the first time here, brought a sleeping bag because he was afraid of the cold, cut the first ice chain with great difficulty, and complained about the confusing training arrangements...
In more than a year, he had not come here very often, so his memories were pitifully poor.
Gu Hongying half-knelt on the ice, and touched his cheek in a daze. The temperature here was extremely low, and the cold blood splashed on his face had turned into tiny ice chips, which melted into a hint of red on his fingertips.
The Kunwu Sword floated up from the ground and circled around him anxiously and worriedly. Even though it had just been reborn as a sword spirit, it was much more agile than before.
But if she had a choice, Gu Hongying would rather not have this kind of agility.
His mouth opened and closed, but only meaningless sounds came out of his throat as the overwhelming pain drowned him.
He was not stupid, and he was not completely unaware of the hopes that were implicitly placed on him, so he tried desperately to satisfy everyone, but reality dealt him a heavy blow.
For the first time, he hated himself for being "Shirazawa".
Why is it him...
Why is it him!!!
Gu Hongying stretched out his hand to grab the red tassel on the ground. Apart from the Kunwu Sword, it was the only proof that Shi Wan was still alive in this world.
Being ignored, Kunwu Sword became more and more anxious. He could feel that the sword master's emotions were on the verge of danger, so Kunwu Sword tried to put its hilt into his hand - just like humans would give each other a hug when they are sad.
But the Kunwu Sword had just been born with an ignorant spirit and was not very familiar with its own essence. The hilt was delivered, but it was a little too far, and Gu Hongying stretched out his hand and grabbed between the hilt and the sword body.
The Kunwu Sword was so frightened that it began to hum, and its own sword force swept across the ice and snow, so that the old red tassels on the ground remained forever in the ice and snow.
The sword cut Gu Hongying's palm, and blood flowed along the sharp edge to the tip of the sword—
“Tick!”
Bean-sized water marks appeared on the stone floor, quickly spreading into water splashes and then connecting into one piece.
The first thing that Yu Tu recovered was his sense of touch.
Something cold fell on his cheeks one after another.
...Is it raining?
Yu Tu was groggy and his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. The white fish swimming in the darkness and the white birds flapping their wings disappeared, and he slowly opened his eyes.
After the blurry vision, the first thing he saw was the lead-gray sky. Such gloomy weather was always accompanied by a heavy rainstorm.
Yu Tu saw the raindrops falling from the sky. The raindrops hit his face and it actually stung a little. Ever since the "background wall" in the backyard turned to ashes, the formation hidden in the wall seemed to have lost its effect, and he could no longer keep the rain out as he wished.
Yu Tu moved his fingertips with difficulty. There was a huge energy gap inside the vest. If it weren't for the continuous supply of energy from the outside, the backlash of this formation would have directly broken the vest into pieces.
The closer the barrier got to breaking, the more anxious he became. In his haste, he even forgot his sense of proportion and rushed forward as his heart desired.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Yu Tu didn't even have time to reflect on his own recklessness. It was not a good idea to lie in the backyard like a drowned chicken. He had to take shelter from the rain first.
This recklessness taught Yu Tu a lesson, because for the first time he felt that the vest was not obedient. It was like stuffing a person's consciousness into an old machine. The machine could barely be used, but when the commands were sent out, the reception was always intermittent and stuck.
It took Yu Tu a long time to control his arms and pull himself up. Due to his delay, puddles of various sizes had accumulated on the stone slabs that were no longer flat due to the passage of time.
The simple action of half-raising the body triggered a huge energy gap in the vest. Yu Tu's throat started to itch and he couldn't help coughing. He coughed so hard that he almost fell back.
Yu Tu: “???”
No, his vest has become so bad now?
Yu Tu was a little bit puzzled.
After finally stopping his cough, Yu Tu gasped rapidly - he had never felt that coughing was so strenuous.
After his condition calmed down a little, he tried to get up with his arms. The rain was too heavy and Yu Tu felt like he was a drowned chicken in a ragtag group.
When he was exerting force, he lowered his head and was stunned.
In the puddles between the stone slabs in front of him, a head of snow-white hair was reflected. Yu Tu blinked in confusion, and the reflection in the puddles also blinked at him. In addition to the hair, his eyebrows and eyelashes also turned snow-white, and even his pupils faded to silver. The whole person looked fragile and thin, and glowing white.
Yu Tu was a little dazed for a moment. The vest without color looks pretty good?
I have treated the tribe leader before. Apart from being born with white hair and aging naturally, the hair of the plant tribe will only turn white when their origin is damaged. Judging from his current appearance, it seems that he was more seriously injured than the tribe leader last time.
Yu Tu's eyes drifted away guiltily for a moment, but fortunately the vest used energy, and according to the current external charging situation, he would be able to recover in half a month at the latest. He even drew a little energy to open the pain shield when he was unconscious. No wonder he only felt a lag when he woke up, and the pain was not obvious - he is really a smart tea tree seedling!
Yu Tu touched the ends of his hair and found that the quality of his hair had not changed and there was no danger of baldness. In other words, the color had just changed temporarily.
Small problems, all small problems.
While Yu Tu was thinking wildly in his mind, he successfully got up from the ground after several failures.
When he arrived at the teahouse, water was still dripping from his body. Yu Tu wanted to draw out a little of the energy that was pouring in from the outside world to dry his body out, but the energy gap trembled angrily and swallowed up the energy he had drawn out without any hesitation. By the way, it also accelerated the speed of swallowing the external energy, leaving him no energy residue.
Because of the restlessness caused by the energy gap, Yu Tu bent over and coughed for a long time before he stopped.
Yu Tu: “…”
It's too overbearing to ask for debt!!!
Unable to intercept the energy, Yu Tu had no choice but to rummage through the cupboard. Fortunately, he had stored a large stack of finished talismans in the cupboard in order to train his ability to control talismans. Yu Tu rummaged through the stack of talismans and found a few that could solve his current predicament.
After using the talisman, Yu Tu finally felt refreshed. These simple movements made him breathless and he fell directly into the recliner with his eyes closed.
After dealing with the wolf-like body of the vest, Yu Tu finally remembered his forgotten original body. Just as Yu Tu was about to sense the original body's situation, he suddenly realized that his consciousness was intact - the body of the vest was so stuck in receiving commands that Yu Tu was dizzy and didn't realize that there was something wrong with the current perception intensity.
He was wondering how come he had already activated the pain shield when he was unconscious? It turned out that after the vest fainted, it summoned back the other half of its consciousness to patch itself up!
The work was done quite well, except... Yu Tu quickly flipped through the calendar. It was the formation experiment done by No. 3, and today was already December 16th!
Hiss...Yu Tu took a breath of cool air on the spot.
It was normal for the vest to be out of contact for more than ten days, but the original body had to attend classes in the Grass and Tree Clan every day and had been in a coma for thirteen days for no reason. Yu Tu thought of the messages from various parties sent to the teahouse that he had not yet received, and suddenly his scalp went numb and the pressure increased sharply.
Yu Tu was no longer dizzy or unconscious, and King Juan was no longer in a coma. He sat up suddenly and tried to project half of his consciousness into the body of the Plant Clan through the air - after all, he had fallen into a coma for no reason, so it was normal to wake up for no reason, right?
Let's work on his vest first, at least until it's colored!
Yu Tu submitted the request ten times in a row, but each time failed.
Maybe it was because the incident happened too suddenly and the summons were too urgent, so there was no preparation for the return channel for the half of the consciousness in the main body. If he wanted to divide this half of consciousness to the main body, either the plant tribe would send the main body over, or he would go to the plant tribe - in short, consciousness must be transferred through contact.
He had been unconscious for too long. I guess he had finished all the procedures in the forbidden land of the Grass Tribe. So why did he go there? Was he going to walk into a trap wearing a colorless vest?
For the first time, Yu Tu felt the fear that "my life is over."
After preparing himself mentally, the overwhelming messages from the teahouse that Yu Tu connected to became concrete and almost drowned him.
The Plant Clan had the most messages, with Diwu alone accounting for three-fifths of them. At the beginning, they were kind and respectful, but later, perhaps because their main body was in a coma and their vest had lost contact, Diwu's worry, doubt, anxiety, anger and a series of other emotions were so strong that even in the messages, they seemed to hit him in the face. Yu Tu also caught some fatal words in those machine gun-like messages.
There was no doubt in his mind that he knew the clan leader was furious, the kind that would make him furious even if they were face to face now.
Perhaps sensing that its message had been read, Diwu's visiting card quickly followed.
Yu Tu: “…”
He immediately refused.
Before, he wanted to join the Plant Clan but was rejected, but now the situation is reversed.
Smart people will understand each other's intention after refusing once. Diwu is not a fool, but Diwu, who is angry and worried, simply throws this tacit rule out of his mind.
Yu Tu received a visiting card again.
He was even more frightened and refused even faster than last time.
In less than three seconds, a new visiting card from the Diwu Palace was passed to him. Although he didn't open it, Yu Tu's scalp began to tingle.
With a lucky mentality, he refused again. What if the clan leader was right? His inconvenience was already obvious!
Facts have proved that it is useless to rely on luck, because the fourth visiting invitation came faster than the third.
Yu Tu realized with great sadness that there was no way to avoid it.
After thinking it over, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Marquis Buye is already so old, the clan leader shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't scold an old man, right? QAQ.
