Volume 17: The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword (Part 2) Chapter 420: The Mysterious Taoist Gu
In the secret room.
It was dark.
Empty, lonely, gloomy, melancholy, sad, lonely...
All these negative emotions surged into Su Weiyun's heart and lingered for a long time.
Shangguan Jinhong's body was lying in front of a table full of files and documents.
These files and official documents were arranged neatly and in an orderly manner, and Shangguan Jinhong's clothes were also neatly dressed without any wrinkles.
Gold is still gold, black is still black.
The sword is still a sword, and the man is still a man.
Everything here is as orderly, disciplined and serious as when Shangguan Jinhong was alive.
Su Weiyun felt very tired, and he just wanted to sleep quietly in the darkness. But his mind couldn't help but think about many things that he shouldn't think about.
——It turns out that he has been taking the wrong path all along.
——Many seniors had told him that "The Thirteen Deadly Swords" was not a martial art suitable for him to practice.
——However, he tried to use the Buddha nature in Bodhidharma's swordsmanship to suppress his murderous nature, using half of himself to fight against the other half. This was of course a groundbreaking and unique innovation!
——Because no matter who wants to comprehend these two sword techniques at the same time, and master them with the left and right swords respectively, it is definitely not an easy task.
——But this really made him exhausted: he was fighting against himself. Fighting against himself, using his body as a battlefield and his mind as a weapon, no matter whether he won or lost, he was the one who was hurt and tortured in the end.
When Su Weiyun suddenly understood this, he suddenly became enlightened. The fatigue accumulated from years of fighting could no longer be suppressed and appeared in his body and mind.
"call……"
He exhaled a long breath, put down the Xiaoxiang Sword and the Changsheng Sword, and slowly closed his eyes.
There is no place in the world that is safer, quieter, and more conducive to sleep than here.
bite.
Just when Su Weiyun was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door.
Who could be coming?
Ah Fei? Li Xun Huan? Or Old Man Tian Ji? Why did they come here? Did Lin Xian Er ask them to help Su Wei Yun deal with Shangguan Jin Hong out of kindness?
"Is anyone there?"
A gentle and delicate male voice sounded.
What Su Weiyun can be sure of is that this person is definitely not any of Ah Fei, Li Xunhuan, or Old Man Tianji, and he doesn't even know this person at all.
Could it be members of the Money Gang?
But how dare the people from the Money Gang knock on the door of Shangguan Jinhong's secret room in such a frivolous tone?
Su Weiyun was already drowsy and about to fall asleep, but for no reason, a trace of curiosity arose and she slowly stood up.
He wondered who was coming.
…
The heavy iron door was opened again.
It was dark outside the door as well. A half-moon hung gently in the sky, casting its light as softly as water waves, shining on the earth, and the dust particles were clearly visible.
There was a person standing at the door.
She was wearing a blue shirt and white pants, with her hair tied up in a bun. Although her appearance was ordinary, her eyes revealed an incomparable warmth.
This gentleness has both the kindness of old man Tianji and the gentleness of Li Xunhuan.
He seems to be a person who combines the strengths of both, and this person looks really likable.
What's even more strange is that Su Weiyun found that he had a faint sense of familiarity with the person in front of him.
"Hello, Su Weiyun."
When Su Weiyun heard this person calling out her name, she woke up a little and asked, "Do you know me?"
"I have seen you, and you have seen my Spirit Snake Sword."
Spirit Snake Sword.
As soon as the man in green mentioned the word "spiritual snake", Su Weiyun immediately remembered the magic sword he had seen in Bashan Sword Pavilion and in front of the Jedi Sword Wall .
His impression was too profound. Perhaps only a sword that carries the "Rhyme of Tao" can be called a true divine sword!
"Are you Gu Daoren from a certain generation in Bashan? How could you get here?"
Su Weiyun asked in disbelief.
"My name is Gu Xian. You can assume that I am the same as you, and can also travel freely between planes."
"Gu Xian..."
Su Weiyun thought of this name, opened his mouth, and was speechless, with mixed feelings. This was the first time he met a real "kindred spirit".
Gu Xian smiled faintly and said, "The Jianghu Order and the Jianghu Plane are all related to me. And you are the candidate I chose after traversing the ruins of the earth, and you are also my favorite boy."
"Young man, you were still a young man at that time."
Su Weiyun was shocked and surprised, and he didn't know when he had been "tested".
Gu Xianyi added: "Don't worry, I know you have a lot of confusion, you can ask slowly."
Su Weiyun took a deep breath and asked first: "What kind of world is the various planes of the Jianghu? Can I still go back?"
Gu Xian stood under the moonlight, which made his face look even whiter. He said, "Yes. If you want to go back, I can take you back now."
Su Weiyun asked in surprise: "Can you take me back?"
Gu Xian waved his hand gently, and suddenly a golden token floated out from somewhere. Su Weiyun saw that it had the words "Su Command" written on it.
"Is this Jianghu Su's order?"
Su Weiyun suddenly felt as if she had lost something, but also felt a lot more relaxed.
Gu Xian smiled and said, "This is Jiang Hu Su's order."
"You have completed your last plane's mission, so this thing is of no use to you."
It is obvious that Gu Xian is the one who came to unlock the secret of the "Jianghu Su Order".
Su Weiyun's expression became serious, and he asked thoughtfully, "Why did you tie this thing to me? Even though it's thrilling and exciting, you should have asked me first if I agree or not."
Gu Xian shook his head and said, "No one is more suitable than you. And I know that with your previous personality, you would definitely not choose to come for adventure, so I can only hide it from the world! I'm really sorry!"
Su Weiyun stared at Gu Xian and asked, "What is your purpose?"
Gu Xian said calmly: "Let you be the leader of the martial arts world, number one in the world!"
"What martial arts leader? What number one in the world?"
These words made Su Weiyun even more confused.
Gu Xian sighed and said, "You have never entered the game "Jianghu Xing" and have not experienced the first battle between good and evil in the main plane, so naturally you don't understand."
In fact, Su Weiyun had heard of the game "Jiang Hu Xing". In Su Weiyun's previous world, it was said to be the only virtual simulation game in the world.
——It is also China's last resort to accommodate excess population to prevent resource depletion and environmental damage. Once a player enters the game, he or she must immerse the entire spirit into the game, survive in the game world in the form of spirit, and lose the right to return to the real world.
——But there is nothing wrong with this. One can do whatever he wants in the game world, which is much better than the Earth which has been gradually exhausted and ruined by human activities.
——So most people of Su Weiyun’s generation chose to give up their real lives and enter the game.
But he is one of the few players who has not entered that game.
"So... so you're saying that what I experienced was just a game dimension?"
Su Weiyun couldn't quite understand what Gu Xian said.
Gu Xian said seriously, "No. Everything in the Jianghu plane is real and true. You can even think of these planes as parallel time and space."
"And these parallel time and space are created by us with great efforts, so that you can travel freely through them."
"This is not a simple game. If this were a game, all game players would be able to meet you. But now, only I can see you, and no one else can!"
"You're the only one who can see me?"
Gu Xian said: "That's right! Because I am the only one who has reached the realm of 'shattering the void', which is above the gods. Apart from me, in the main plane, only the current emperor Xiao Tairan's inner strength has barely touched that realm, but he is still half a step behind."
"So I can break through space to see you, but no one else can. This also proves that the Jianghu plane you are in is indeed a real parallel time and space, and those people are real people, no different from us."
"People who have broken through the void realm can travel back and forth between the Jianghu planes..."
Su Weiyun murmured, trying hard to think about this sudden information.
Gu Xian smiled and said, "With your talent in martial arts, it seems that you are not far away from reaching this level."
Su Weiyun laughed at himself and said, "What's the point of achieving it? You still can't escape fate!"
Fate.
What a heavy and realistic word.
Gu Xian suddenly asked, "Do you think that your fate has been arranged since I sent you to the martial arts dimension of "Big Shot"?"
Su Weiyun asked back: "Isn't it? I guess you have investigated me before and know that I am a person who doesn't like fighting and is afraid of death, so you deliberately threatened me with the punishment of 'obliteration' to force me to venture into the world!"
"I know that you are just unwilling to take risks on the surface, but in your heart you are a real swordsman. After you came to the Jianghu plane, didn't you have a wonderful life?"
Gu Xian laughed and said, "And the meaning of 'erasure' in the Su order is not what you think. 'Erasure' actually means to untie the Su order and let you get rid of the 'fate of the world', that is, to send you back to your original world."
"The 'Erasure' missions in the first three planes are more like a test and a teaching. At least it has to prove that you are a righteous person. Otherwise, I dare not let you be the leader of the martial arts world in the main world."
Su Weiyun was stunned for a while, his eyes widened, and he said, "Is this the meaning of obliteration?"
Gu Xian looked at the moon in the sky and said, "Besides the word 'obliterate', do you think there is anything else that can fight against 'fate'?"
Su Weiyun thought for a while and asked again: "Then have you also been protecting me in secret?"
Gu Xian shook his head: "No. I also have my destiny, and I have a lot of things to accomplish. I can't always pay attention to you, and I can't come here too many times in my true form."
"You are in the martial arts world, and I am also in the martial arts world. Once you are in the martial arts world, you have no choice. You should understand this sentence!"
Once you enter the world, you have no choice.
How can one escape fate except by death?
The moonlight is like water.
The moonlight is also silent.
It turns out it doesn't know the answer either.
