Gu Chuifang was stunned by his question, but with a puzzled look on his face, he asked him: "What does the Buxu Palace have to do with the Chunjun Sword? This sword is the treasure of my Chunjun faction, and how can it be related to the Buxu Palace? related?"
"Uncle Taishi doesn't know?" Wen Heng was slightly surprised, and wondered if the Nine Masters were deceiving him again, and said, "Then dare to ask Uncle Taishi, how did the martial arts secrets in the underground palace come out? "
Gu Chuifang didn't know what was the use of his question, but for Wen Heng's sake in retrieving Chunjun Sword, he answered truthfully: "The exercises handed down from this sect are all from the ancestors, master, and uncle. Sort it out, and then teach it to the apprentices. Because the text is really difficult and the martial arts of the underground palace is very dangerous, the underground palace was sealed up when I entered the school for two or three years, so the method of deciphering has long since been lost with the death of the master, and I do not know ."
Wen Heng was dubious, nodded, and Gu Chuifang said, "How do you ask about this? Is there anything else I don't know about?"
Wen Heng's heart is now in a mess, and he can't start if he wants to think carefully, but he has to die to understand, he simply broke the jar and threw the question of the nine masters directly to Gu Chuifang: "Since the Chunjun sword is the treasure of this sect Why didn't Tai Shishu go down the mountain to hunt down the traitor in person, but waited for more than 30 years before entrusting it to an outsider who didn't know his roots?"
Gu Chuifang's eyes were like electricity, and he shot at Wen Heng's eyes. Wen Heng didn't dodge or dodge, and looked at him calmly, as if he was asking an ordinary question, but every muscle hidden under his robe was tense like a bowstring, preventing him from attacking him immediately. Strike back.
The stone cave was as dead as a grave, and even the air became stagnant and cold. The old man and the young man stood still for a few breaths, but Gu Chuifang didn't make a move and turned his eyes first.
He sat down on the steps beside him, crossed his knees with his sword, his eyes hidden under the heavy messy hair suddenly lost his aggressive aura. A very sobering pain, as if the dying were waiting for the final judgment. He understands that some things cannot be avoided after all, and that his concealment is ultimately futile, but he still subconsciously avoids the truth, even if he has actually opened his heart and put all the pain and remorse in his eyes.
Wen Heng understood in an instant.
"Who were you... locked in?"
Gu Chuifang shook his head, and said dryly and hoarsely, "No... it's me who wants to stay."
It was a story that happened many years ago. Because of its long history, even the current head of the Chunjun faction did not know about this past.
The founder of the Chunjun Sect, Yuan Shidao, has two disciples, the second-generation head of the Chunjun Sect and the elder Lin Qiufeng. These two have apprentices respectively. Zheng Lian and Gu Chuifang are the two most outstanding disciples in the next generation.
They grew up together and practiced martial arts together. They are both talented young talents, but they never felt jealous of each other. Instead, they were very harmonious and friendly, so good that they could wear the same pair of pants. At that time, whether it was the masters or other brothers and sisters, they all agreed that these two would definitely take over the positions of the head and the elder Lin Qiufeng in the future, and they would support each other and carry forward the Chunjun faction.
When the second-generation head was in power, the Yueying Mountain Palace was closed down because of a disciple who had gone crazy while practicing. Never mention this to anyone else. This secret was kept until a year after Zheng Lian became the head, when Gu Chuifang returned from his journey down the mountain and was accompanied by a young man who had not yet reached the crown.
Gu Chuifang said very proudly to Zheng Lian that this was a good seedling he found outside, and he wanted to take it as an apprentice and be his successor.
That boy was Nie Zhu.
Although Zheng Lian thinks that this apprentice is too old, he still leads the art investment teacher. Even if he teaches well, he may not be able to raise it well, but after all, it is Gu Chuifang's first apprentice, so he will be happy. As for the successor, Gu Chuifang's apprentice must take over as the elder Lin Qiufeng in the future, but this kid is not suitable, so we still need to find a smart, smart, and filial apprentice for him, and ask him to take him from childhood.
However, before Gu Chuifang accepted his second apprentice, he discovered that Nie Zhu's martial arts talent was amazing, even surpassing his own. In just a few short years, he not only quickly mastered "Forgetting Things" and "Canghai Sword Technique", but also discovered that there is a huge loophole in the martial arts of the Chunjun School - it is precisely because the ancestors did not fully crack the secret text of the underground palace, " The more profound internal skills above "Wangwu Gong" are not known to others, which leads to a certain bottleneck in the practice of Wangwu Gong.
Gu Chuifang has an outstanding talent. His master treated urination as a parent-child upbringing. He was also cared for by Zheng Lian. Other brothers and sisters did not dare to trouble him. When he was young, he went out and roamed the rivers and lakes with his exquisite kung fu. He never suffered a big loss. The battle on Fujing Island pushed his reputation to the peak. Therefore, he is arrogant and arrogant, and he has a habit of martial arts. According to one's own will, once you want to study any martial arts, you must do it without rest, no matter what the cost, no matter how others block it.
It was precisely because Nie Zhu felt his pulse and took advantage of Gu Chuifang's talent-cherishing heart that he gave a potent medicine and coaxed Gu Chuifang to tell him about the Yueying Mountain Palace.
When the previous head closed the underground palace, Gu Chuifang was still young. Although he knew that some disciples died because of practicing internal skills, he didn't take it seriously. He only thought that those people were not smart enough to go crazy. People like him are talented and enlightened. , Even the forgetfulness of things has been successfully practiced, and it is time to improve one level, and it is time to reopen the underground palace, and then find more martial arts secrets to make up for the loopholes in the existing foundation.
Arrogance, arrogance, credulity, willfulness... These qualities gathered in him at a certain moment, and finally made him dizzy due to Nie Zhu's coaxing. After a few clichés, the location of the underground palace was completely wiped out. So on August 15th, while he and Zheng Lian were out for a meeting, Nie Zhu noticed that Yueying Mountain was not strictly guarded. Several secret recipes and pure Jun swords were stolen.
Zheng Lian and Gu Chuifang received a letter and rushed back to the sect. When they saw the situation on the mountain, they realized that Nie Zhu had been planning for a long time. The ultimate goal of lurking in the Chunjun sect was the Chunjun sword and the secret of the underground palace. When the incident happened, how did Gu Chuifang escape under Zheng Lian's stern questioning? He had to tell Zheng Lian exactly what he had said to Nie Zhu.
What he did was tantamount to being an accomplice of Nie Zhu, which made Zheng Lian angry the most in his life. He first scolded Gu Chuifang sternly, then dismissed him as an elder and told him to go out and find Chunjun The sword, the sword can't be found, and others don't have to come back.
Gu Chuifang is also an impatient person. First he was betrayed by his apprentice, and then he was scolded mercilessly by his senior brother. He knew in his heart that he had made a big mistake, but he still felt that opening the underground palace would benefit the sect. Take out the secrets to practice. He refused to give in, and had a big quarrel with Zheng Lian. Both of them were in a fit of anger.
Zheng Lian is more thoughtful and mature than him. Even though he was so angry, he finally kept his hands on Gu Chuifang and did not use his full strength. Gu Chuifang became angry and became a madman who didn't care. Zheng Lian's right little finger.
The gurgling blood finally made him awake in horror, and it also made Zheng Lian disappointed with him, and completely chilled his heart.
At the beginning of the Chunjun faction, the core of power actually consisted of only one head and one Linqiufeng elder, who were held by the seniors and brothers respectively. The two had to share the heavy responsibilities and work together to be able to safely hand over the back to each other. close, even more so than biological siblings. As the elder of Lin Qiufeng, Gu Chuifang was outgoing. The Chunjun faction did not need an unrepentant sect, and the head of the sect did not need an elder who would wave his sword at him.
He no longer forced Gu Chuifang to go out to find Chunjun Sword, and directly locked him in the underground palace to accompany him with the martial arts secrets he was thinking of.
The five peaks of the Chunjun faction are now standing side by side. He built a Tibetan sword pavilion on Linqiu Peak, and since then he has enclosed the peak as a forbidden area. At the same time, he has widely recruited disciples, and selected five of the best disciples to share the functions of the elders of Linqiufeng.
As the last Lin Qiufeng elder, Gu Chuifang swept across the sky like a shooting star, only for a moment in the night sky, and then hurriedly sank into the dark ground.
When Wen Heng first met Gu Chuifang, he felt that he was acting a little strange and evil. He thought it was because he lived underground for a long time and was wary of strangers. Now, it seems that it is not necessarily a revealing of his true temperament, but his imprisonment for more than 30 years. , how many sharp edges have also been polished, and the fire has already burned into a pile of dead ashes.
"When I was just detained, my senior brother was angry, but he still didn't forget me. I called people to deliver meals every day. I knew that I was really wrong to him, and I always wanted to apologize to him." Gu Chuifang seemed to see through him. The thought seems to be talking to himself, "But he won't see me..."
He regretted it, and the longer he was locked up, the more he realized what a serious mistake he had made. He spent a lot of time explaining his gestures to the dumb servant who came to deliver the meal, and even in order to make amends, he personally bit off the little finger of his right hand and put it in the basket for delivering the meal, asking him to take it back to Zheng Lian to see.
Being crazy like this, just to meet Zheng Lian and say "I'm sorry" to him personally.
But Zheng Lian was already heartbroken by him, and when he said no, he really never came to him again.
Gu Chuifang went from madness to despair, and finally his heart was calm. He no longer cared about the outside world, and he no longer desperately forced Zheng Lian to beg. In addition to being extremely bored to ponder some martial arts on the stone wall, he just sat and thought about it on the central stone platform. Five years later, the head of the sect ordered a dumb servant to let him out. Gu Chuifang asked him, "Is your brother willing to see me?"
Dumb shook his head.
Gu Chuifang snorted, waved his hand, and said, "Then I won't go out and get in his way." After that, she turned back and walked back to the underground palace.
Five years later, it's the same conversation; five years later, it's the same.
Until the fourth five years, no one came.
Gu Chuifang had long known that when one day he didn't see the dumb servants who came to deliver meals as expected, and the underground palace finally became a dead place where no one stepped foot, the last line of connection between the brothers and sisters was completely cut off.
Zheng Lian is dead.
