Gong Wei was groggy, as if he had dreamed a lot, mixed with unreasonable anxiety, depression and fear.
He tossed and turned in Xu Shuangce's arms, always unsteady, and murmured faintly. Every time he was about to wake up, his eyelashes would start fluttering rapidly, Xu Shuangce reached out and patted and comforted in a low voice, so Gong Wei temporarily calmed down and fell into a dream, repeating this all night long.
Until the sky was about to dawn, he finally woke up in a daze.
That is because of the double cultivation with the number one person in the world.
Gong Wei was lying on his side, and the whole body was tightly nested in the familiar arms. Behind him, Xu Shuangce passed an arm from under his neck to let him rest on the pillow. Because he cried so hard last night, he was still a little angry, so he didn't turn around. After lying down like this for a while, he felt bored, and his eyes fell on Xu Shuangce's hand in front of him.
The back of Xu Shuangce's hand was resting on the pillow, and his fingers were graceful and slender—the exact length was already felt by Gong Wei last night. It is rare for Sect Master Xu to relax and open his palms so much, but Gong Wei couldn't hold back for a while, so he stretched out his hand and played with his fingertips, plucking them one by one like a piano string.
He was cautious at first, but after flicking a few times to see that Xu Shuangce did not respond, he became even bolder. It happened that there was a long falling hair between the quilts. It should have fallen down at that time when Xu Shuangce forcibly grabbed the back of his head when he was struggling not to kiss him. Gong Wei had nothing to do anyway, so he picked up the hair and wrapped it around the base of Xu Shuangce's middle finger, carefully tying it with a fine knot.
He thought it was quite funny, and after appreciating it for a while, he was a little afraid that Xu Shuangce would wake up and get angry, and wanted to unwittingly untie his hair.
Who knew that he had just stretched out his hand and hadn't had time to untie the knot, when Xu Shuangce suddenly moved, and he held his hand tightly in the palm of his hand, unable to move at all.
Gong Wei turned around in a guilty conscience, and the movement was so painful that he felt a jolt immediately.
Above his head, Xu Shuangce asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"… "
I saw Sect Master Xu's expression was indistinguishable between joy and anger, and he could not see his emotions at all. His eyes were deep and deep, and he had obviously been awake for a long time, but he had not moved.
With a large area of naked skin touching each other, Gong Wei realized that he had no strands up and down, and wanted to move out rather uncomfortably, but Xu Shuangce's arms clasped him as soon as he moved. Immediately, Xu Shuangce stood up with his elbows and pressed him on the top of Gong Wei. This condescending gesture made him look even more calm and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
Gong Wei told the truth: "It hurts..."
His thin and white eyelids were red from sobbing all night, his lips were red and swollen and cracked, slightly opened unconsciously, and the three finger marks on the side of his neck had not disappeared.
There was a moment of silence between the hidden bedcloths.
Xu Shuangce didn't say a word. For some reason, Gong Wei felt that his muscles were tense, and he seemed to be hesitating.
After a long while, he exhaled as if giving up, no longer pressing Gong Wei, but said hoarsely: "Turn over."
Gong Wei didn't know why, but he turned over obediently and lay down on the soft pillow.
Immediately afterwards, he felt Xu Shuangce put his hands on his back waist, and began to massage one by one, with light and heavy force, and the spiritual power that was continuously poured in like a hot spring greatly relieved the discomfort.
Unexpectedly, when Sect Master Xu was still so considerate, Gong Wei's inner anger suddenly dissipated, and he lay down lazily for a while, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Xu Bai."
Xu Shuangce hummed.
"What did Du Kaixun tell you that day under the abyss?"
Gong Wei has not been very clear-headed these past few days, and there is absolutely no other thought in his mind except that he desperately wants spiritual power to support Jindan, and now he finally thinks of coming to ask.
Xu Shuangce said lightly, "It's not worth listening to nonsense."
Gong Wei was very surprised. He turned his head and was about to ask questions, but he was punitively pressed on his lower back, and he took a breath of cold air.
It took him a long time to clench his teeth and regain his senses. He didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he was forced to change the subject: "Then... what happened to the soldier in the end?"
Xu Shuangce said, "Destroyed."
"Did you destroy it alone... ss!!"
Gong Wei almost jumped up, his heart was full of puzzlement and grievance, and he didn't understand why such a normal chat could hit Xu Shuangce's pain point: "Xu Bai, you are just—"
Xu Shuangce said, "You talk too much."
Gong Wei held on to the soft pillow, and finally forcibly endured the desire to rebuke passionately. After pressing for a while, he couldn't help but be idle again, and found a safe topic: "Xu Bai, Du Kaixun said you like me."
This time Xu Shuangce didn't put a heavy hand on his mouth, but he didn't answer immediately, only after a moment said: "What?"
The number one person in the world actually likes him, Gong Wei is a little subtly proud: "When did it start?"
"… "
"What do you like about me?"
"… "
Gong Wei was the most discerning man in his life, and he felt that the hand that massaged his lower back was showing signs of aggravation again, and immediately saw the wind and said: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't say it, I'll tell you that's all. I like you very much from the first sight, from head to toe, and even the way you look fierce to me looks good, are you satisfied, Sect Master Xu?"
This kid dared to say anything sweet when he was happy, but unfortunately he didn't look back to see Xu Shuangce's expression at the moment.
"Hey," he suddenly remembered something after a while, and became even more proud. He leaned on the soft pillow and asked brightly, "By the way, Xu Bai."
Xu Shuangce finally agreed to answer him: "What?"
"When I summoned Prefect Bai under the Tianmenguan Glacier, you must have been shocked when you found out that the little disciple you got along with every day was actually my Gong Zhengyu?"
"… "
Xu Shuangce suddenly resumed his silence, and in the face of this question, his silence became unimaginably long.
Gong Wei was keenly aware that he hesitated a few times, and after a long while he calmly spit out two words: "It's okay."
Just okay
Gong Wei suddenly felt dissatisfied: "Xu Bai, you can't lie for the sake of face. When you saw the moment when I recovered my deity's dharma body, weren't you extremely shocked and admired? I guess you must have been surprised at the time. already."
An indescribable silence enveloped the entire dormitory.
Gong Wei put his ears up and waited for half a column of incense, and finally heard Xu Shuangce's difficult voice coming from behind him, saying, "...That's it."
He finally admitted it. Gong Wei said happily: "I didn't mean to hide you for so long. You won't be angry because of this in the future, right?"
Xu Shuangce said, "No."
Gong Wei was relieved and wanted to continue to ask about the Juzong family in the abyss that day, but he was afraid that Xu Shuangce would give him a cold and heavy blow, so he could only temporarily die.
It's really comfortable to be massaged like this, especially after being infused with a lot of spiritual power, people usually want to sleep. Soon the sleepiness swept up again, he yawned, and vaguely heard Xu Shuangce suddenly say: "Gong Wei."
"Well?"
Xu Shuangce's voice seemed a little trembling, but he still asked, "Do you like me?"
Miyako hummed vaguely but seriously.
"Then what if one day I did something unforgivable and hurt you so much that I even wanted to kill you?"
This question is too strange. If it is a normal Gong Wei, he will definitely ask why, but now he is very sleepy and wants to sleep. It took a while for his chaotic thinking to understand this sentence: "How about what?"
Xu Shuangce asked, "Do you hate me?"
Gong Wei said, "That won't happen."
"How will you be?"
Gong Wei closed his eyes, as if he was half asleep, before he smiled and said, "Then I'll try to like you a little less."
The inner room was quiet, and after a while he let out a small steady breathing sound and fell asleep comfortably.
Xu Shuangce stopped, staring at him motionless, like guarding the only treasure bestowed by fate.
For a long time, he stretched out his hand and rubbed Gong Wei's forehead hair, his fingers trembled slightly, and leaned over to place a kiss on Gong Wei's temple.
·
The sound of the robe was heard, Xu Shuangce got up and walked outside, sat down behind the desk in the study, and took out an item from his sleeve.
—It’s the bronze box in the brain of the World Destroyer Soldier.
Its name is a box, but it is actually a set of locks. It is formed by precision-cast long bronze wedges that are stuck with each other to form a whole. The interior is hollow and can be stored. As long as you move the bronze wedge in a certain order, it can be completely disassembled, so it is not difficult to open it, but Xu Shuangce stroked it for a while without moving, and after a long time, his eyes fell on his right hand, looking at the entanglement of the middle finger. 's hair.
Seeming to have finally gained some kind of bitter confidence, he exhaled, stood up and gently moved the first bronze wedge with a "click".
In the study, there was a constant sound of light banging of bronze, and Xu Shuangce moved very quickly, as if he didn't want to give himself time to go back. After a tea time, the upper part of the entire bronze box has been dismantled into more than ten square wedges, exposing the interior that has not been seen for thousands of years.
- Being robbed by ghost cultivators, being expelled to death, claiming to be the only way to break the illusion and return to the world... Xu Shuangce is ready, no matter if any ancient magic weapon or heaven and earth spirits appear in the bronze box, it is not surprising .
But unexpectedly, there was only a thin, ordinary silk scroll in the box.
Xu Shuangce pressed his eyebrows tightly, took it out after a while, and spread it out gently.
The scroll is only one finger long and two fingers wide, as thin as a cicada's wings, and the ink characters are clear. There are more than 1,000 characters on the silk and silk, all of which are ancient seal scripts that are now extinct. Even the knowledgeable Xu Shuangce cannot fully understand them.
It is the life of Kamito Kitagaki.
Before the ascension of the God of Beiyuan, he was a great master. He was born in a well-known cultivator, and his mortal name is no longer available. When he was alive, he was at the time of the fierce battle between the two major countries in the Central Plains.
Among these two great powers, the weaker country located in the lower reaches of the river has survived for many years, but it cannot be attacked for a long time; the enemy country located in the upper reaches has thought of a way, that is, while the rainy season is approaching, it sends people to dig the other side’s rivers secretly, I want to take advantage of the rainstorm to break the embankment and completely defeat the opponent in one go.
It is also in the dark that it has its own national fortune. This year, an unprecedented and rare rainstorm suddenly fell. Several huge estuaries in weak countries could not support it, and they were about to burst.
-Once the estuary bursts, tens of thousands of people downstream will die in an instant, and millions of people will be displaced. Plague, famine, and insect plagues after the flood will eat up countless lives. It is not an exaggeration to call it a century-old catastrophe.
The ants are still greedy for life, and there are tens of thousands of Li people. Therefore, at this crucial point of life and death, I don't know who came up with the idea and called a large number of ordinary people to kneel at the Immortal Gate.
Fighting against natural disasters is a major event for Xianmen cultivators. To fight against nature with the power of one person, the light ones will lose their cultivation, the heavy ones will die on the spot, and even the gods may be destroyed. Therefore, all the great sects in the world just disappeared and stayed behind closed doors. The extremely frightened people finally poured into the mountain where Beiyuan was the first sect in the world. .
Aren't you number one in the world? You are not a Mahayana master, do you want to cultivate immortals and ascend
Natural disasters are coming, and thousands of people are kneeling in front of your door. How can you stand by and pretend to be ignorant
Seeing death and not saving it, pigs and dogs are better!
Tens of thousands of people knelt down and cried and cursed until the seventh day, when the mountain gate finally burst open.
The battle against the catastrophe was as tragic as the later battle of Xuanjing River. Even a Mahayana master like Beiyuan could not block all the thousands of hectares of river that poured back into the Central Plains. In the end, he exhausted his cultivation and burned the golden elixir in the overwhelming flood, and barely blocked the flood within the Taihu Lake, thousands of miles in the middle and lower reaches. Then he died unexpectedly from exhaustion.
Unexpectedly, at the moment when his body was hydrolyzed, suddenly the sky was covered with clouds, and a mirror immortal descended from the heaven to stop his soul that was about to fall into the Yellow Spring.
At this time, Bei Yuan's soul was exhausted and exhausted, so he asked, "Are you here to pick me up?"
The fairy in the mirror replied: "When every cultivator in the mortal world is qualified to ascend, I will go down to reflect their souls. If their merits are complete, I will open the gate of heaven and let them ascend to immortals; They reincarnated under the ghost wall and became human again."
Beiyuan asked, "Then do I consider my merits to be complete?"
This isn't really a problem at all. Fighting huge natural disasters and saving thousands of Li people are the highest merits and virtues of any dynasty or generation. If this is not consummation, then there is no merit in the world that can be called consummation.
Unexpectedly, the immortal in the mirror was hesitant. He said, "Your merit is full, but your killing obstacles are also full."
Beiyuan was very surprised, and asked, "But I have never killed obstacles in my life, and my friends can also prove it. How could killing obstacles be born out of nothing overnight?"
The ancient text is extremely brief, and the question and answer in the original text of the silk book is only a line and a half of a word. Xu Shuangce's eyes stopped abruptly, and then he went back to read it word by word several times, only to be sure that he was not wrong.
Beiyuan did mention a "my friend" who had never appeared in the previous article, and Xian Zhongxian didn't ask any questions—could there be a third person present, but his name was deliberately hidden by the text
What's even weirder is that Bei Yuan actually had a killing barrier at this time.
A great master who just died in order to save Li Min was the most tragic and glorious moment in his life. The rescued people all over the world are grateful to him and weep bitterly. Where did this killing obstacle come from? Come
The following Taikoo seal characters are uncommon and obscure, and I can only guess the effect with a slyly guessing.
Beiyuan's soul was so weak that it was about to dissipate, but Jingxian was still struggling and didn't seem to want to open the gate of heaven for him. At this moment of stalemate, suddenly a crimson star floated from the rolling flood under their feet. When everyone looked closely, it turned out to be a peach blossom that was about to wither.
I don't know why Jingxian was touched, and suddenly came up with a solution.
He summoned the dead branch and handed it over to Beiyuan, and said, "Your Dharma body is hydrolyzed and your merits are perfect, so ascension is indeed a matter of course. But after you ascend, you must plant this peach blossom all over the eastern sky and Beiyuan in the fairy world, because it represents restraint and killing obstacles. The power required. The more prosperous the flowers, the heavier the killing obstacle, you have to spend more mana to restrain yourself, understand?"
Beiyuan took the peach branch, and after hesitating for a long time, he asked a question: "What will happen if I don't get rid of the obstacles?"
Xu Shuangce's eyes were fixed on the next line of ink with complicated strokes.
I saw Jing Xian stretched out his hand and dipped a drop of blood on the peach branch. In an instant, the dead tree returned to spring and the flowers were in full bloom. The young man picked a blood-stained peach blossom from the branch, and his quiet eyes seemed to contain infinite coercion: "So I will make a blood oath with you here."
"If in the future you fall into the slaughter block with the respect of the gods, then I will fall to Huangquan, and even if I chase to the deepest part of the endless hell, I will definitely deprive you of your divine position and kill you on the spot."
Then, in front of Bei Yuan, he put the peach blossom engraved with the oath into his mouth and swallowed it with the highest standard of making a blood oath.
