MTL - The Sword Named No Way Out-Chapter 39

The hall suddenly fell into dead silence, and it took a while to see the elder Sun Chengfeng staring at Xu Shuangce in disbelief, asking, "...what did you say?"

"You chased from Cangyang Mountain to Beijiang?" Ying Kai turned his entire upper body from the armchair.

Xu Shuangce said, "Yes."

"Kill Du Kaixun?"

"killed."

"..."

From Cangyang Mountain to Beijiang is not only a thousand miles away, but actually thousands of miles away. Everyone stared at Xu Shuangce dumbfounded. They couldn't imagine that seventeen years ago, he chased him thousands of miles away alone, on the top of the glacier in that extremely cold place, piercing the heart and lungs with one sword, and taking the head with the other. ?

Ying Kai asked in shock, "Why?"

Changsun Chengfeng opened his mouth three or four times before asking in a trembling voice: "...Do you still remember that he is from the Changsun family?"

Xu Shuangce didn't answer Ying Kai, and leaned slightly towards Juzong. His face has not changed in the slightest for hundreds of years. When he casts his gaze from a high place, there is a kind of icy cold edge that captures the soul:

"so what?"

"..."

Changsun Chengfeng didn't say a word. Mu Duozhu picked up his teacup and coughed, then changed the subject and asked, "So after Du Kaixun's death, there is only Juzong left in this world who can manipulate soldiers. Is that what you mean?"

Things came full circle and back to where they started.

The eldest grandson Chengfeng is easy-going, never puts on airs, often gets along with the younger generation, and has a good reputation among the Taoist schools. If it is said that he is behind the scenes, no one will believe it. Even Ying Kai knows that the so-called "public trial" in this class is actually very difficult to have any results. But there is no second explanation for the situation in front of him. It's more than just an evil door?

Ying Kai frowned and said, "Chengfeng, the route in the underground palace of Dingxian Mausoleum is complicated, especially the deepest underground ninth floor. There are only a handful of people in the world who have walked through that golden tomb door. And you, as the designer of the entire underground palace, People who happen to be among the few names..."

The eldest grandson Chengfeng also never expected that his own younger brother would have died seventeen years ago, and this would be beyond debate: "My fellow immortals, do you really think that I am such a lunatic?"

No one spoke, and they all looked away without saying a word.

"..." Judging from his expression, the elder Sun Chengfeng probably greeted the whole family of "all immortal friends" in his heart, and changed the direction helplessly: "Sixteen years have passed since Immortal Zun Fahua passed away, and ten years have passed since Dingxian Mausoleum was completed and closed. It's been five years, even if I want to do it, why wait until now? Besides, what did I do to steal his body and take it home to confess? You know how dangerous the bones of the Immortal Venerable are..."

"Blood red pupils." Xu Shuangce interrupted.

From the time when everyone was seated, Sect Master Xu would turn the tide of the battle within three to five words as long as he spoke, so that now everyone subconsciously trembled when they heard him speak. Changsun Chengfeng said: "What?!"

"When Fahua Xianzun died, the golden core was intact, and the spiritual power was still there. The red pupil that was born with strangeness should still be usable. Even if the magic power is lost after death, his right eye is still a peerless weapon. 'It can be used To create the most perfect mechanism soldiers'."

Xu Shuangce paused, and said, "Your brother told me so before he died."

Changsun Chengfeng's chest rose and fell, and he stared at him with an indescribable expression. Ying Kai leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Not only did you kill him, but you also interrogated him?!"

"..."

"Did his brother say anything before he died?"

Xu Shuangce still didn't answer, leaning back on the back of the armchair, the sound of the wind coming from the sky outside the window was like a roar, brushing against his calm face.

Just like the biting cold wind on the glacier seventeen years ago, Du Kaixun's dying voice was blown intermittently in this way: "Don't you... hate that Gong Zhengyu? The world said that the dignified Cangyang Sect Master looked down on the dean of the palace. I know... I know that you came to this ten-thousand-mile ice field for him... Do you know what your face is in private?!"

The second son of the eldest grandson family was only nineteen years old at the time, and his facial features were handsome like his brother's, but there was something crazy and sinister in his eyes, like a wild beast trapped in a cage with nowhere to go and full of hostility, always waiting for opportunities to follow people The bloodthirsty truth erupted under the skin.

Xu Shuangce stood in front of him condescendingly, holding the Reluctant Sword in one hand, and blood dripped from the tip of the sword into the snow.

"You're not a good thing either, Xu Shuangce." The young man gasped viciously while covering his bleeding wound, leaning over the snow, "Your real desire is trapped under that skin, and you will never be able to get rid of it. Never try to get rid of it." Got it..."

The wind and snow submerged Xu Shuangce's expression in the shadows. After a long time, he raised his right hand, blood splashed into the sky, and a human head flew from Wanren Bingfeng to the cliff.

…

Everyone in the hall looked different, Yu Chirui stopped cracking peanuts, leaned forward and asked Juzong seriously: "You did it, right?"

Changsun Chengfeng asked helplessly, "Can you stop making trouble here?"

Ying Kai raised his chin towards the cold ice tray beside him, and said, "You must find a way to prove yourself now, Chengfeng. Or you can prove that you can't manipulate this passage extracted from the bones of Fahua Xianzun. The soldiers, or you can prove that the soldiers are related to your brother..."

Changsun Chengfeng said in astonishment: "Brother Ying, aren't you embarrassing me? I can only prove that I can manipulate my own soldiers, but how can I prove that I can't control other people's soldiers? Otherwise, I will call it, you See if it should?"

Ying Kai said indifferently: "Then I can only invite you back to Daishan Punishment Palace to stay temporarily for a while, until I find out the truth with Xu Zongzhu, and then I will return you innocent."

Changsun Chengfeng couldn't believe his ears, and immediately pointed to Xu Shuangce and asked Ying Kai in disbelief: "He wants to clear my name? Why do I think he just wants to crucify me as the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Mu Duozhu looked at Xu Shuangce's unresponsive face, and couldn't help coughing: "Dear friends, fighting is strictly prohibited on the golden ship, if Sect Master Xu turns his back on Ju Zong and draws his sword later, please stop him. "

…

"Report!" Just as you said something to me, a disciple of the Yizong in a light purple gauze robe hurriedly came to the door. Yu Chirui and Changsun Chengfeng bowed their heads and said: "The eldest grandson's family, Bai Shibai, has his 'buqi' sword outside, please board the golden boat to meet the alliance leader and Xu Zongzhu!"

"What?" Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Changsun Chengfeng suddenly turned around: "Don't let him come up!"

This sound was harsh, everyone looked at him in astonishment, Mu Duozhu hesitated and said: "Juzong, I didn't come to see you..."

The eldest grandson Chengfeng said decisively: "I am his Taoist companion, why can't I stop him? Bai Shui has nothing to do with this matter, why bother to make trouble!"

Xu Shuangce's flat voice came from the first seat: "You are not his Taoist partner, are you?"

"..."

Mu Duozhu glanced at Juzong's expression, and couldn't help but said: "My fellow immortals, fighting is strictly prohibited on the golden boat. If Juzong turns his back on Sect Master Xu and draws his sword later, please stop him, okay?"

"And Bai Shui has nothing to do with this matter. He is your brother's servant, and that's why you sent him to the Punishment Court." Xu Shuangce paused, not caring about Juzong's increasingly ugly face, and said: "He was the closest person to your brother during his lifetime."

There was silence all around.

Ying Kai took a deep breath, leaned over to Mu Duozhu, and said in a low voice, "Someone ask Master Bai to come in."

·

The disciples of the Yizong immediately took the order and left, and after a while, the tall Huaping door was pushed open.

A slender figure walked in steadily, dressed in the ink-colored school uniform of the Changsun family, with a white satin lining, his long black hair tied around his neck by a white ribbon, except for black and white, the only thing embroidered on the end of the hairband was a small Gold thread bay leaves, calm and soft eyebrows.

It is white graupel.

Ying Kai is not a person who likes to see people bowing down to him, so before Bai Xun saluted, he waved his hand to signal him off, and said straight to the point: "Bai Zhenren came just in time. Let me tell you something first. I have already known and agreed to the fact that the blade was launched in Beijiang Glacier. Do you have anything else to say to me?"

Bai Shui seemed to be taken aback.

But that was only for a moment, and then he said softly "Ah", and said, "Is that so?"

Everyone thought that he had nothing else to say, but at the next moment, Bai Shui turned to Xu Shuangce, and bowed deeply: "The second son has committed many crimes, and it is too difficult to record. The suzerain traveled thousands of miles to the ice field, and beheaded him in the ice field." Under the sword, it is really an act of high righteousness, and this junior will be deeply impressed."

He bowed unambiguously, and bowed directly to the end, and then changed his voice:

"But Du Kaixun is probably not dead."

Xu Shuang strategically narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh?"

Ying Kai couldn't help but turned his head and exchanged a glance with Xu Shuangce, then turned to Bai Shui and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

"Have."

"Where?"

Bai Shui took a deep breath and straightened up, facing the eyes of all the great masters in the hall: "Here."

His voice was not high, but there was an inexplicable quality like hitting gold and breaking jade. At that moment, Changsun Chengfeng seemed to have expected something suddenly, and suddenly stood up and shouted: "Don't—"

Before the words could be spoken, Bai Shui's left fingertips moved, a dagger flashed coldly, and then he chopped down with his right hand!

That was lightning-like decisiveness. Mu Duozhu, who was closest to him, didn't even react, and saw his right wrist cut off at the root, and the severed hand fell to the ground with a bang!

The scene froze suddenly, and there was no sound in all directions.

Everyone stared at his wrist in unison, and saw that there was no trace of blood on the severed wrist, only a faint white glow, and a thread of spiritual light was connected from the fracture to the pale hand at his foot, It's a soldier!

Changsun Chengfeng closed his eyes, said nothing, and slowly sat back in the armchair.

"The soldiers are Bai Xun, and my lord's name is revealed, not the great sect of the world."

Although the pain was not as severe as that of ordinary people, the damage to his body still made Bai Shui's face turn slightly pale. He gritted his teeth tightly, and pointed his other finger at the ice plate on the table—the dark red soldier threads frozen in the plate suddenly began to move and struggle, as if they were suddenly injected with life, the severe cold and frost broke inch by inch, clear Clearly passed into the ears of everyone present.

"The soldier silk used to make me has the same master as the soldier silk used to make the chaos in Dingxianling, so they can echo each other."

Bai Xun tried his best to stand up straight, panting through his teeth, "This is the proof that Du Kaixun is still alive in this world."

·

On the sickbed, Gong Wei slowly opened his eyes.

The sharp pain after the spiritual vein was broken inch by inch has now turned into a lazy dull pain and soreness. A strange spiritual force circulated around the limbs and bones, calmly comforting the soul who had just been severely injured, but he couldn't remember what happened.

Someone save me?

Gong Wei sat up dizzily, and suddenly felt something wrong with his body. He lowered his head and took a closer look, and the familiar silk ivory white gold-embellished gown with black trim came into view instantly.

"!"

Gong Wei's first reaction was: Did I take off Xu Shuangce's clothes?

Am I still alive?

He woke up in an instant, and quickly touched up and down to make sure that his hands and feet were still there, and then the last memory before he passed out slowly recovered from the depths of his mind. The severe pain of Bing Rensi winding in the spiritual veins of his body, the anger of being made into a puppet by the bones of his previous life, the fear and trance when he was held hostage...until the nick of time, the familiar spiritual power burst down from the sky, and he was trapped in the throat. The deadly soldier wire melted into fly ash abruptly, and the feeling of weightlessness of the rapid fall came to an abrupt end when it touched the embrace.

"Don't be afraid," he felt Xu Shuangce's hand pressed tightly against his bleeding neck, and his voice was calm and powerful.

He said, "Go to sleep, it's fine."

…

What happened next?

Gong Wei touched his lower lip involuntarily.

He felt as if he had forgotten some important detail. Trembling, subtle ripples flooded my heart again, but no matter what, I couldn't remember where this strangeness came from.

The serious injury and exhaustion made his mind ache like a saw. He seemed to have many dreams in a trance, but when he woke up, he couldn't think of anything except sadness.

Gong Wei pursed the corners of her lips at a loss, as if she could escape the lingering strange feeling on her lips. After a long while, he slowly opened the bed curtain and looked around. After a moment of blankness, he recognized what it was - the golden boat.

There are many legends about his medical skills and personality, but the most famous one will always be this giant golden and wooden ship that soars in the sky and travels around the world.

Back then when Gong Wei was picked up by Ying Kai from Taolin to Chengxianmeng, the golden boat was passing through Mount Dai, and Ying Kai took him aboard to ask the doctor to have his body checked, wondering if he was born with a mental insufficiency, or whether he was born with an acquired soul. damage. Mu Duozhu had never seen such a miraculous case of Gong Wei's, and he personally stabbed him with a needle in the head, which made Gong Wei cry, and he has been under a deep psychological shadow ever since.

Later, one midsummer, he dragged Xu Shuangce to play in the mysterious ice pool of Xunshu Palace. He was young and ignorant, blindly greedy for coolness, and caught a fever in the middle of the night. Xu Shuangce had no choice but to hold him with one hand and seek medical treatment from Yizong. As a result, the dizzy Gong Weiyi was so frightened when he saw the golden boat, he kicked and kicked and struggled in every possible way to no avail, and even cried and bit Xu Shuangce's neck hard.

Gong Wei was born to remember to eat but not to eat, and he was deeply impressed by the places he was afraid of. He could smell the unique smell of medicine on this golden ship across ten miles and eight villages.

A soldier who entered the spiritual vein must have been seriously injured, and Xu Shuangce must have sent him up.

So is Xu Shuangce also on this golden ship now? What about Yu Chirui, who was hit by the illusion, and Ying Kai, who was still injured?

Are the bones of his previous life also frozen in the corpse pavilion on the golden boat?

Gong Wei couldn't help but move slightly when he thought of the thing he had hidden in the bones.

The giant ship moved forward steadily, and the furnishings in the house remained motionless, only the carved jade curtains swayed slightly in the wind leaking in from the window lattice, and the corridor outside the house was very quiet, with no sound of people heard.

Gong Wei took a deep breath, finally got out of bed lightly, stepped on the paulownia floor with bare feet, opened the door and looked out.
