Chapter 39 Chapter Thirty-Nine

The long street was pitch-black, and there were a few lanterns hanging outside the doors of the houses on both sides. The lights were weak in the rain and fog, and only the outlines of the houses could be discerned.And Gu Yueming stood outside the gate of the house on the left front, with a big lantern hanging on it that could illuminate the distance, perhaps because of this, it was chosen as the street for the decisive battle. Ge Mo advanced towards Gu Yueming with steady and powerful steps, with the epee resting on his right shoulder, and approached the opponent with a somewhat nonchalant and contemptuous gesture.In fact, he didn't dare to make any big claims, and was concentrating on finding Gu Yueming's flaws and weaknesses.

Gu Yueming was still in the water-based attire, and did not carry a crossbow machine or crossbow arrows. From Ge Mo's perspective, his saber protruded obliquely from his back, which seemed to be his only weapon. His hands were drooping, giving Ge Mo the feeling that he was in a state of absolute relaxation, and only a master like Gu Yueming could not show the slightest tension before launching an attack. Gu Yueming watched Ge Mo approaching calmly, and said calmly: "Brother Ge, don't come here without any harm!" Ge Mo stopped half a foot away from Gu Yueming, and said with a smile: "Toefl, TOEFL! Gemou still can't die."

Gu Yueming said indifferently: "May I ask what kind of relationship Brother Ge has with Lord Qian?" Ge Mo said calmly: "Any relationship is fine. Tonight, either you die or I die. When a person dies, he has no relationship with this world of the world. What is the relationship between who and whom?" Gu Yueming nodded and said: "Brother Ge sees it very thoroughly, but I still hear what Brother Ge meant, that he has only interests with Qian Shichen. What benefits can Qian Shichen give to a Momen practitioner like Brother Ge who does not pursue glory and wealth?" What? Of course it’s the Chu box, right?”

Ge Mo said coldly: "I really hope to be able to make friends with Brother Gu, but I hate God for putting us in such a position. Didn't Brother Gu want to kill me, why does he seem to be chatting till dawn? But I Be warned, the number of cavalry teams patrolling the city has increased several times tonight. When a cavalry team happens to pass by here, fighting alone will turn into outnumbering. Brother Gu and I will start another game of hide-and-seek. " Gu Yueming said relaxedly: "I have always wanted nothing. What I love the most is to live with the situation. It doesn't make much difference to me if I kill you today or tomorrow. Brother Ge, if you don't want to die at this time tomorrow and tonight, you can go home I will never stop you from sleeping."

Ge Mo's heart was terrified, and he felt Gu Yueming's difficulties more and more. The essence of Gemo's kendo lies in the four words "brake with stillness", just like a solid city with high walls and thick walls, even if the enemy's military strength is twice as strong as his, no matter how violently they attack, it will be difficult to shake it a bit.As long as the enemy's momentum weakens, he will attack the city, guaranteeing that he can kill the enemy without leaving a single piece of armor. It's not that he doesn't want to take the initiative to attack, but he can't overwhelm Gu Yueming in terms of momentum, and he knows how powerful Gu Yueming is, so he speaks to provoke Gu Yueming to make a move. Unexpectedly, the other party sees through his intention and makes it clear that he won't make a move, which immediately puts him in a dilemma.

Gu Yueming asked: "It turns out that Brother Ge is not going to use the demon method, but wants to fight honestly. It is really a pity that I lost the fun of breaking Brother Ge's demon method." If anyone had said these words, Ge Mo would never have taken them to heart, but it was said by Gu Yueming, and with Ge Mo's self-cultivation, he couldn't stand it.In the battle of Xiangjun Bridge, Gu Yueming not only broke his Taoism, but also damaged his vitality, which was a great shame to Ge Mo. Gomo's impeccable momentum suddenly weakened a bit. Gu Yueming sneered and rushed towards him.

When masters compete, the difference between victory and defeat is only a thin line.Ge Mo knew that there were only two options in front of him, one was to retreat, the other was to strike first, otherwise, if Gu Yueming, who is known for his sword speed, was to come close to him, he would lose his advantage and only be beaten. , How dare to be negligent, and shouted: "Looking for death!" While speaking, he moved forward swiftly, with dexterous dance-like steps, in the blink of an eye he was less than half a foot in front of Gu Yueming, the epee bounced from his shoulder, and slashed at Gu Yueming head-on effortlessly as if juggling an embroidery needle. past.

Surprisingly, Gu Yueming didn't pull out his sword, and wiped his left hand behind his back, a dagger that was only a foot and a half long came to his hand, swept away, and slashed towards Ge Mo's chest, ignoring the epee that he struck from above . Although it was just a two-person duel, the indomitable momentum of the two sides created a tragic feeling of thousands of troops fighting against each other. Since Ge Mo's epee is twice as long as Gu Yueming's dagger, Gu Yueming's dagger should not have reached his chest when he struck Gu Yueming. The scene of the iron gauntlet hitting him hard and shooting the crossbow arrows is vivid, and I feel that the epee will definitely be resisted by Gu Yueming with the iron gauntlet hidden in the sleeve of the water. Move, the epee fell from above, and changed to chop Gu Yueming's dagger.

Ge Mo's original wishful thinking was to force Gu Yueming to pull out Bai Luyu and make a bold move. Then he could use the advantage of a heavy weapon, and ideally he could cut off Gu Yueming's special weapon, or even make Gu Yueming's arm numb. , It is difficult to display exquisite swordsmanship, but Gu Yueming's extraordinary moves made him lose his position immediately. What is even more frightening is the sword drawn by Gu Yueming, said to be a weapon, it looks more like an antique, but it seems to be able to faintly restrain his Dao heart, it is not an ordinary weapon.

"when--" The two swords collided, and sparks flew. The two men were equal in arm strength, and they should have been evenly matched, but Ge Mo changed his moves in front of the enemy and couldn't use his full strength. These slight differences were immediately apparent. The two swords were shaken and swung outward at the same time, but Ge Mo's epee swung a few inches wider. Gu Yueming got a little bit of an opportunity here, bullied himself up, like a sword came out of the hole like a poisonous snake, and pierced Ge Mo's chest. Ge Mo snorted, and turned back his sword to save himself, but when he couldn't see it, he suddenly bounced back, and the epee just happened to hit Gu Yueming's Wanjian sword, not only defusing Gu Yueming's sure-to-kill move, but also disintegrating Gu Yueming's advantage of taking the lead. It's wonderful.

Gu Yueming stopped with his horizontal sword, looked at Ge Mo who had retreated half a foot away, and secretly cried out that it was a pity.I had done all my calculations, but I missed Ge Mo's barefoot miraculous skill. Just now, Ge Mo just relied on the strength of his long and powerful big toe to bounce back and win the tie. Ge Mo leaned on the ground with his epee, his eyes were sharp, looking at the Wan sword held by Gu Yueming, his face changed from bright to dark, and he said in a deep voice: "I should have seen this sword before!" Gu Yueming said indifferently: "Brother Ge should say that he has seen this sword before." Ge Mo shook his head and said, "No! I have indeed seen this sword." Gu Yueming asked: "Brother Ge's tone, although Brother Ge has seen this sword, he forgot when and where he saw it, right?" Ge Mo sighed: "If we are not incompatible enemies, we will definitely become confidants. Brother Gu guessed rightly, it is indeed the case." Gu Yueming said seriously: "Brother Ge, do you know the origin of this sword?" Ge Mo said: "I just want to ask Brother Gu for advice." Gu Yueming said: "This sword was obtained from Eunuch Feng. He deliberately concealed the origin of the sword, so it is very likely that the sword came from the swordsmith of ancient Chu, and it is related to the mysterious ancient city in Yunmengze. Otherwise, Eunuch Feng would not She gave me this sword very preciously and deeply believed that this sword could help me find the Chu Box." Ge Mo showed a horrified expression, quickly regained his composure, nodded and said: "If I can kill Brother Gu, I will definitely give Brother Gu a good time, and I will bury him properly afterwards, without saying a word of insult." Gu Yueming said in a deep voice: "What did Brother Ge think of just now?" Ge Mo sighed: "It doesn't matter what I think of, I just know that this sword aroused the deepest hatred in my heart, and made me want to behead Brother Gu more than ever." Gu Yueming smiled and said, "Brother Ge is still so sure?" Ge Mo said calmly: "Every time I make more moves with Brother Gu, I will be more sure of killing Brother Gu. The cleverness of Brother Gu is to suppress me with strategy, which makes me unable to exert my full strength every time, but As the understanding of Brother Gu continues to deepen, this situation will gradually change." Then he raised the epee and pointed at Gu Yueming obliquely. Gu Yueming calmly said: "Brother Ge, have you thought about the problems of the past and present?" Ge Mo was about to answer him, when suddenly there was a loud noise from the sky on the left, the two of them followed the sound, and saw a faint red glow in the rain-powdered night sky. fireworks signal. Gu Yueming's gaze returned to Ge Mo's face, who couldn't hide his surprise. Before Gu Yueming had a chance to speak, Ge Mo said "Excuse me", stepped back, and immediately disappeared into the vast darkness of the street. Gu Yueming didn't chase after him, not because he didn't want to kill Gemo, but because of the sound of horseshoes touching the ground from behind. Wu Shuang woke up and found that she was still in the hall of Qingzhu Pavilion, facing the portrait, but her face was full of tears, and she couldn't make a sound. For the first time in ten years, she cried bitterly. After a while, she gradually calmed down and regained her sanity, but she still didn't understand what happened to her. Was she fascinated by ghosts like Wu Zixu? The ghost is not attached to Wu Zixu, but to this painting. She remembered the figure of the man she saw just now, why did she react so violently when she saw him?Did she weep for him?Is the contents of the vial poisonous?There isn't a question to which she can have a definite answer. She felt tired, a kind of tiredness from the bottom of her heart, which made her lose the motivation to do anything, and made her unwilling to think about it. Wushuang stood up slowly, took out five pods from her arms, left them on the table, and left Qingzhu Pavilion. Baichun climbed up to the Shuixiangxi Pavilion with the attitude of provoking a teacher and inquiring about his crimes. Wu Zixu's back came into view, and he was sitting leisurely at the painting table near the pool, facing the hanging ladle pool where the rain stops and the fog gathers. For some reason, Baichun's anger suddenly dissipated, and he said to Chan Yi who was following him: "Go back and rest, I want to have a few words with Mr. Lang." Cicada Wing reluctantly went. Wu Zixu didn't turn his head to glance, but stared at Hang Piao Chi in a daze.To be engrossed in seeing, to be engrossed in thinking. Baichun came to the other side of the table and sat down, blocking Wu Zixu's gaze, and sighed: "What happened, what tricks are you playing?" Wu Zixu realized Baichun's existence at this moment, came back to his senses, looked at Baichun with burning eyes, shrugged and said, "I don't understand what Baichun is talking about?" Baichun said angrily: "Still pretending to be stupid? You know that I am receiving Qian Shichen, but you want to find me at this time. I came here in a hurry, and you don't know where you slipped off." Wu Zixu cried out: "How could Baichun not know where I went? Didn't the note I left clearly say that I went to the latrine, please wait a moment for Baichun? I should ask you this question." , why can't I see Baichun when I come back from convenience?" Baichun Wuming got angry, and said angrily: "You still have to be full of lies. You must have taken advantage of my time to go to see Qian Shichen by water, and you didn't know what you said to him, so that Qian Shichen left immediately. If you don't To tell the truth, I will send you out in a bundle and give it to the people of the Great River League." Wu Zixu raised his hands in surrender and said, "I'll say it! The truth is, I'm a five-dun thief. I was cornered by the bastards of the Dahemeng. I had no choice but to come to Hongyelou to be a painter. Fortunately, I still have a valuable Things, and the only one who can afford to pay is Qian Shichen, who just made a deal with him. Now that Qian Shichen is in a hurry to raise money, of course he lost the leisure time of staying here with Baichun Fenghuaxueyue." After saying these words, Wu Zixu was very happy, and also felt extremely absurd and nonsense.As Gu Yueming said, with Goddess Yunmeng behind everything, she is "in charge of the house", and there is no need to have scruples about doing anything. Baichun scolded coquettishly without even thinking about it: "Still talking nonsense! What treasure do you have that can make Qian Shichen ignore the Dahe League and make a deal with a thief? It's so ridiculous. Let me give it to you." Come on, you bastard! Not only the people of the Great River League want to take you, but Qian Shichen will not let you go, it was Qian Shichen who ordered the strengthening of the city defense to prevent you from escaping from Yueyang." Wu Zixu patted his thigh, and said with a playful smile, "Isn't Baichun here yet?" Baichun was stunned and said: "Why do you want to go to your place?" Wu Zixu took it for granted: "How can I hug you if you don't come over?" Baichun lost her voice: "Are you crazy?" Wu Zixu said: "I am indeed crazy, I am crazy in love. This moment is what I have been looking for all my life. Finally, a beauty who can make my heart fall in love with me." Baichun angrily said: "Who is in love with you?" Wu Zixu calmly said: "Didn't you say that you fell in love with Wudun Bandit? You just admitted that I am Wudun Bandit. The person you fell in love with is sitting in front of you. If you don't come to throw yourself into his arms, where are you going?" Go throw yourself in your arms?" Baichun was too angry to speak, just stared at him hard. Wu Zixu said intoxicatedly: "Only when I am in love, can I see Baichun's most moving side, and paint it into a painting, and then pass it down for generations to come." Baichun said casually: "Take it out and show it to me." Wu Zixu asked suspiciously: "What do you show Baichun?" Baichun said: "Didn't you say that there is another treasure? Take it out to prove that you are not lying." Wu Zixu was stunned for a moment, remembering that he had indeed said this sentence on the spur of the moment, he immediately hesitated, thinking that if Baichun were to see Ye Mingzhu, no one would know what the consequences would be. Baichun proudly said: "I can't take it out, right? Because you can only brag." Wu Zixu put his heart on the sidelines and stretched out his hands into his arms.
