Chapter 2 wedge

Miaoshan was silent. The setting sun is like blood, slowly sinking from the mountains, dyeing the boundless forest with a magnificent golden color, and embellishing the brilliant autumn in the mountains. There is a deep valley in the south of the mountain range, but there is not even a ray of sunlight. Seven thick black smokes rise from the bottom of the valley and hover over the valley, like seven monsters blooming in the blue sky. This is one of the seven forbidden places in the legendary martial arts, Tianfeng Valley. The blue color of the mountains came to an abrupt end here, and every rock showed a thick black color, which was also dotted with faint golden light. Looking from a distance, day and night seemed to be disordered here.A magnificent picture of the night sky spreads out in the depths of the green hills, against the surrounding brilliant sun, it looks extraordinarily strange.

Legend has it that this valley is located at the junction of Yin and Yang between heaven and earth. It is beautiful and full of thousands of exotic flowers and herbs. It was originally a resort for the Miao people to gather herbs and harvest Gu.However, more than ten years ago, this valley was suddenly occupied by countless golden silkworm Gu. Golden Silkworm Gu is the No. 1 poison in "Gu Nerve", if it can be used, one can dominate the other side, it is an extremely rare treasure in the martial arts.Here, tens of thousands of golden silkworm Gu unexpectedly appeared at the same time, covering every inch of land in Tianfeng Valley, it is really an unprecedented spectacle in the martial arts world.

However, no one dares to covet the golden silkworms in the valley. Those seven streams of smoke are the black moon lotus poison barrier that is more poisonous than the peach blossom miasma, and the instant death in it is enough to make the invader's bones disappear.Even a master who is proficient in the art of Gu poison can't stop the joint attack of any ten golden silkworms, not to mention that there are more than ten million golden silkworms in the valley! Therefore, a disrespectful legend secretly circulated among the Miao people's Gu masters, even if the Gu god descended to the mortal world in person, he would not be able to set foot in the Heavenly Wind Valley.

The only exception is the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. On this day, the black barrier at the bottom of the valley will disperse slightly, and the golden silkworms in the valley will make way for a path from the mouth of the valley to the bottom of the valley.This most mysterious forbidden place seems to have been pardoned by gods and demons, and it is lenient, silently waiting for bold visitors. However, every time this time comes, people stay away even further.Because they knew that the Skywind Valley on this day was far more terrifying than usual. In addition to tens of thousands of golden silkworms, there are also seven ancient strange beasts living in the valley.

Seven Zen Gu. These strange beasts are sleeping in the cave of gods and demons at the bottom of the valley.Every seven years on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the cave of gods and demons is opened, they will wake up.If someone breaks through the Heavenly Wind Valley and steps into the cave of gods and demons, the gods and beasts will be furious. Not only will there be no bones of the invaders, but it will also bring huge disasters to the entire Miao area. No one doubts the authenticity of this legend. Seven years ago, on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the Miao people in the nearby Shibadong heard a roar of a beast. The roar shook the sky and shook the mountains.After that, drought, locust plague, and sky fire came one after another, tormenting Shibadong Miao Village for a whole year.

From then on, no one dared to violate the wrath of gods and demons. Gina is an exception. She didn't go to Tianfeng Valley to collect herbs or seek Gu, but just because she wanted to take another look at the Seven Zen Gu. One late night, she was awakened by the howling of a beast while she was sleeping soundly, and all her brothers were so frightened that they cried. Only she opened the window curiously and looked around, wanting to see if the legendary beast had three heads and six arms. Then, she saw a scene she would never forget. At that time, the sky showed a magnificent purple, clear and transparent like glass, without a trace of blemish.A dazzling halo hovered in the sky like a bright moon, but it was so dazzling.

She didn't see the ferocious and terrifying beast, but saw a pair of eyes that were slowly dissipating from the halo. Those eyes are so eye-catching, even if you glance at them casually, you will never forget them.But it is invisible, as if it is just an accidental encounter of light and wind. However, all the beauty, majesty, and wisdom between heaven and earth gather and settle here.What these eyes cover is the infinitely vast sky, the earth that breeds all things, and the reincarnation of all living beings. These are the eyes that only gods and Buddhas have. It is not only the most silent praise between heaven and earth, but also the eternal solemnity, light and dream in people's hearts.

Gina tried to open her eyes wide, trying to see it more clearly, but the halo was silently shattered, scattered, and turned into trillions of dust.What she saw was just a glimpse before the eyes disappeared, but she felt so familiar, as if she had been quietly staring at them for thousands of years in an unknowable previous life. Perhaps, she was a bird in her previous life, silently waiting beside it, singing for it, weeping for it, and thinking about it. Tens of thousands of years of lovesickness have not yet returned, and in this life, her young heart has been confused by it again. Gina leaned against the window sill until the east turned white.She secretly vowed in her heart that no matter where she went, no matter where she was, she would see it again.

She was only eight years old that year. Seven years later, Gina has grown into a little girl who is not afraid of anything. She has visited all kinds of ghost mountains and magic lands in the legends of Miao Mountain, but she has never found the shadow of these eyes.Her longing for the God and Demon Cave became stronger and stronger, and finally she waited for the opportunity to reopen the God and Demon Cave, how could she let it go? On August 15th, Gina went out early and rushed to Tianfeng Valley. Before the sun set, Gina sat on the cliff, ate dry food, packed her package again, and went down to the valley along the ancient vines.

In today's Tianfeng Valley, the black barrier has receded, and the scenery is much clearer.There are no flowers and trees growing in the valley, only a kind of extremely thick vine, tangled and hovering on the dark rock wall.Like the legendary ancient giant, wielding a giant pen like a rafter, writing strange words on the stone wall.A little bit of golden light shines through the gaps in these words, and it looks extraordinarily dazzling under the setting sun. Gina knew that these golden lights should be the legendary golden silkworm Gu. She looked carefully, and found that these golden lights were not embedded in the rock wall, but hovered in the air.Every ray of golden light is shrouded in an extremely thin cloud of mist, like blisters, which will burst with just a light touch, and the golden silkworms will break out of their shells, resume their ferocious posture, and bite the invaders smash.

Gina didn't dare to neglect, she carefully avoided the rock wall and walked towards the cave of gods and demons. After taking two steps, she tripped over a rock and fell heavily. Gina got up from the fallen leaves, and was about to kick the stone to vent her anger, but found that the stone groaned and moved slowly. Even if Gina was bold, she couldn't help screaming in shock.After a closer look, the person under his feet is not a stone, but a person! The man was covered from head to toe by a black cloak, making it impossible to see his face clearly.He struggled, as if he wanted to stand up, but he couldn't do it, so he sat down leaning against the rock, and two cold lights came out from under the cloak, staring fiercely at Gina. Gina also stared at him for a while, then suddenly pointed to his knee and said, "Are you injured?" A two- to three-inch long feathered arrow protruded from the man's knee, and the green feather at the tail of the arrow was already stained red with blood. The man's eyes were even colder, but he didn't answer. Gina is a heartless child. Although she vaguely feels his hostility, she can't bear to see her die.She hurried over and took out a handkerchief to help the man bandage the wound. The man lost so much blood that he was powerless to resist, so he had to let her manipulate him.He kept staring at Gina's movements coldly. If the little girl didn't sincerely heal his wounds, then even if she couldn't get up, there were at least seven ways to kill her immediately. Gina didn't know what he was thinking, and carefully wrapped up the man's wound. The man's gaze softened a little, and he said to Gina, "Take out the red bottle on my chest, and feed me." Although his voice was a little hoarse, it still couldn't hide its charming charm. Gina couldn't help being completely stunned: "Is it a sister?" The man's voice suddenly stern: "Quick!" Gina was startled, and frantically fumbled in her arms.Unexpectedly, there were so many bottles of various kinds hidden on her body, and she was sorting them out one by one, but accidentally touched her wound, the man snorted, was about to get angry, but held back. With great difficulty, Gina found the pill and fed her. Seeing that she had lost too much blood, she untied the water bag she was carrying and handed it over. The man didn't drink, just sat with his eyes closed.After a while, it seemed that the effect of the medicine was onset, the man gradually calmed down, and said to Gina: "Little girl, why are you here?" Gina was afraid that telling the legend about the Devil's Cave would frighten her, so she made up a lie: "I helped Grandma gather medicine, and I got here because I got lost." The man gave her a suspicious look, but didn't ask any more questions. After a while, the man said: "Little girl, do you know who I am?" Gina opened her eyes wide and shook her head. The man said slowly: "I am the master of the Hundred Gu Sect, Lan Caiyi." Gina nodded, but her face was blank. Seeing that Gina hadn't heard her name before, Lan Caiyi was a little disappointed, so she sighed, "I'm in a coma here because I was hunted down by bad guys." Gina nodded blankly again. Lan Caiyi said: "I was going to get the Seven Zen Gu from the God Demon Cave, but I didn't expect to be ambushed by the enemy here..." Gina's big eyes flickered and said: "Seven Zen Gu? What is that?" She couldn't help but think of the pair of eyes she saw seven years ago. Could it be that the owner of these eyes is actually called Seven Zen Gu? The man was a little impatient: "You carry me to the cave of gods and demons, and I will tell you again." She seemed to be used to bossing her around, and she spoke in an orderly tone.Gina didn't take it seriously, she agreed, picked up the blue dress and left. Lan Caiyi's eyes flickered, and he planned in his heart that once he got to the cave of gods and demons, he would kill people to silence him. Gina was carrying a blue dress, panting and trekking on the mountain road.Fortunately, although she is young, she is used to climbing up and down in Miaojiang.As she climbed the mountain, she turned her head to ask Lan Caiyi if she was tired and if the wound hurt.Lan Caiyi saw that she was innocent and did not seem to be fake, and her guard gradually weakened. After crossing a small river, Lan Caiyi asked Gina to rest on the grass, and said slowly: "Seven Zen Gu, it is said that they are seven ancient mythical beasts. Everything about the body and the host will be changed by the divine Gu, and from then on, swordsmanship, internal strength, murderous aura, wisdom, appearance...all will be at the peak. This is the power of the Seven Zen Gu, and it is also the reason why people in the world covet them." Gina was dumbfounded when she heard it. She has been in Miaojiang for a long time and has a little understanding of Gu art, but she has never heard that Gu art can change people so much. Lan Caiyi dismissed her strangeness, and continued: "More than ten years ago, the scholar Qiu Du accidentally obtained the Seven Chan Gu, and suddenly he became a hero admired by the world from a scholar who had no strength to restrain a chicken. Unfortunately, in the martial arts conference, he died with the elders of the Demon Sect. The Seven Zen Gu was also severely injured, and six of them fell into a long-term sleep. new master." She looked at the dots of gold spots on the rock wall, and her face became heavy: "Tianfeng Valley is guarded by thousands of golden silkworm Gu, and no one can approach it except for the Mid-Autumn Festival. But the golden silkworms in the cave of gods and demons, but Thousands of times more than Yan Zhong!" Gina glanced at Lan Caiyi, and said worriedly: "It's so dangerous, my sister is injured again now, but you must be careful..." There was some bitterness in Lan Caiyi's laughter: "There is nothing to be careless about. I am going to the Shenmo Cave to accept the test of the unfinished Gu in this life. If it approves, I will become the master of the Seven Zen Gu, the Golden Silkworm Gu And you will follow me around. If not, I will be torn to pieces by those golden silkworms." Gina turned pale with shock: "Then...that sister should not go, or wait for seven years to heal her injuries..." Lan Caiyi waved her hand to interrupt Gina's words: "Golden Silkworm Gu is invincible in the world, and whether you heal your injury or not will have no effect on the result, not to mention..." Her voice was slightly bitter, "Besides, this is my only chance .” Gina was stunned: "Why?" Lan Caiyi said: "Ten years ago, I became obsessed with the practice of voodoo, and I searched many ways for strange methods, and I barely managed to survive. Now the effect of the medicine is getting weaker and weaker, and I can't wait for the next seven years. !” The mountain wind was blowing, she hugged the black cloak tightly, but her shoulders were still trembling slightly, she looked like a female animal driven to a corner, so painful and helpless. Gina's eyes sparkled, and she murmured: "I didn't expect my sister to be so pitiful..." She raised her eyes, "But, is my sister sure of success?" Lan Caiyi snorted coldly, seeming to disdain Gina's question: "Although the Seven Zen Gu is rare, I am one of the very few people in the world who have the key to the Divine Gu." Gina couldn't help being curious again: "Oh? What is the key of the Seven Zen Gu?" Lan Caiyi glanced at Gina, and said, "It doesn't matter if I tell you, because even if you know, you won't be recognized by the unbroken Gu in this life." Gina blushed and argued, "I didn't want to..." Lan Caiyi sneered, and pointed to her face under the black veil: "This is the key." Gina's eyes widened, not understanding what she meant. Lan Caiyi's eyes lit up: "After the last battle, the other six Gu have fallen into a perennial slumber, so the responsibility for choosing a new owner for the Seven Zen Gu can only fall on this Unfinished Gu. Its function is to change the appearance of the host, therefore, its criterion for choosing a host is not martial arts, but appearance." appearance? Gina couldn't help but startled. Lan Caiyi turned her eyes to the far sky, and proudly repeated: "It is said that the unfinished Gu in this life is a god and demon in the sky. It can let everyone see the imagination of the most beautiful and beloved in their hearts. Therefore, only the truly stunning beauty , in order to get the approval of this life's unsolved Gu." Gina listened to her words with an obsessed look on her face.She couldn't help but think of those eyes again. Could it be that they are the most beautiful and beloved in her heart? So what kind of stunning beauties do they belong to? A gust of mountain wind woke up Gina from her depression. She suddenly remembered something, looked at Lan Caiyi suspiciously, but was speechless. Lan Caiyi's face was hidden under the black veil, so she couldn't really see it clearly, but she vaguely felt that her complexion was dark, and now that her face was covered with blood and her hair was disheveled, how could she have the elegance of a peerless beauty? Seeing Gina staring at her blankly, Lan Caiyi couldn't help feeling angry. Lan Caiyi, the master of Baigu Sect, was the most famous beauty in Miaojiang back then.It's just that in recent years, he has been plagued by illness, less traveled to the Jianghu, and the power of the Hundred Gu Sect has been weakening day by day, becoming a third-rate sect in the Jianghu, so the momentum has gradually faded.The title of the most beautiful woman was also snatched away by the wife of the owner of Baishui Castle.Lan Caiyi deeply hated this matter, if it wasn't for the desolate countryside and the time when she was employing people, she really wished she could slap Gina to death. Seeing Lan Caiyi's angry face, Gina quickly lowered her head, waved her hands and said, "I, I just want to see what my sister looks like..." Lan Caiyi snorted coldly: "Do you really want to see it?" Gina thought timidly for a moment, then nodded. Lan Caiyi slowly removed the black veil from her face. Gina groaned and fell to the grass.Her expression at this moment was not at all as if she saw a stunning beauty, but saw a ghost in broad daylight. The face in front of him was really similar to that of Li Gui. On the rough and dark skin, there are blazes the size of copper coins all over the place, and in the gaps between the blazes are dotted with countless scabies shaped like broad beans, some of which have already broken out and festered.His mouth and eyes were congested and crooked, and his nose was swollen high, as if he had just been beaten severely, and he looked horrible. Lan Caiyi snorted coldly, covered the black gauze, and said, "You must be wondering why I look like this." Gina was too shocked to speak, so she nodded desperately. Lan Caiyi said: "Seven years ago, I went to the God and Demon Cave once. At that time, the secret of the God and Demon Cave had just been spread to the world, and there were more than two hundred people who recklessly went to get Gu. It's a pity , except for me, no one came back alive." Gina looked at Lan Caiyi and wanted to say: Then you were bitten like this by a golden silkworm, right?But in the end he didn't dare to speak out. Fortunately, Lan Caiyi didn't look at her, but looked into the distance, as if lost in memory: "I can survive, thanks to the scene where Qin Menglou was bitten to pieces by golden silkworms." Gina was stunned: "Who is Qin Menglou?" Lan Caiyi: "The wife of the master of Baishui Castle. After she practiced Gu and cultivated herself behind closed doors, she became the number one beauty in Miaojiang. There were not a thousand, but eight hundred people who were infatuated with her back then. To get her, I don’t know how many people were killed, how much money was spent, and how much effort was spent. On the day of marriage, the dowry was three Dendrobium Pearls of South Vietnam, which was an unprecedented luxury. For a while, all women in the world envied and sighed. I hate the injustice of God for not letting such a good thing happen to me." She sneered lightly, "But who would have thought that the Lord of White Water Castle is a man with broken sleeves and has no interest in women. Marrying Qin Menglou schemingly, and being obedient to her, is just to trick her into taking Gu for me!" Gina half understood: "But why did she die?" Lan Caiyi shook her head: "Just because she's beautiful is not enough." There was a bit of disappointment in her voice, "Before she entered the cave, I carefully looked at her appearance. Although her conceit may not be weaker than hers, but at most Between brothers and sisters. She didn't get the approval of the unbroken Gu in this life, and I might not have been able to. Therefore, that year, I didn't go in rashly, but quietly escaped from the cave." She sighed a long time: "For seven years, that scene has been replaying in my mind all the time, the sky is full of beasts, the sound of golden silkworm wings is deafening, blood rains down, people run away in panic, in this horrible scene like purgatory , I saw a shadow, a most beautiful shadow." "That is the phantom of the unbroken Gu in this life." Her voice was as mesmerizing as the mountain wind, "It is unimaginable beauty for ordinary people. Once you see it, you will not hesitate to smash your body to pieces, and you will be intoxicated by it. If you say, before I took the Seven Zen Gu to heal my injuries, so since I saw it, I would rather use all my life to pray for it to give me a day of beauty." She paused and repeated heavily: "It's as beautiful as it is." Gina couldn't help thinking, if the person who has not been devotioned in this life is the most beautiful and beloved in everyone's heart, then the phantom she sees should be different from Lan Caiyi's.But that kind of obsessive state of mind is the same attachment - the attachment that would rather die than look at it again. Lan Caiyi's voice gradually became a bit bitter: "Afterwards, I spent a year practicing the long-extinct Moment of Youth Gu." Gina was surprised: "Momentary Youth Gu? What is this?" Lan Caiyi said: "The function of Momentary Youth Gu is also to change the host's appearance, but it is different from this Life Unending Gu, it squeezes the host's beauty all the year round, and only makes him bloom at a certain moment. That is to say, it will make the host Gu practitioners usually become extremely ugly, but only at a certain moment, they release all their beauty. The more ugly they become and the longer the time, the more beautiful the beauty at that moment will be." She brushed her hand across her face, and there seemed to be infinite nostalgia in her movements, and her voice was trembling slightly: "For the beauty of an hour, I have endured seven years of ugliness. For seven years, I have worn a black veil, facing the world day and night. This unsightly face is just for the moment when I face the Seven Zen Gu tonight!" Her voice was a little choked, and her chest heaved, as if she was enduring endless pain.It is conceivable how she lived without seeing the sun for the past seven years. Gina gradually felt that she was very pitiful, so she had to say: "It's getting late, let's hurry up." Lan Caiyi took a deep breath and gradually calmed down, allowing Gina to carry herself on her back and walk towards the cave of gods and demons. The setting sun gradually disappeared, and a round of bright moon climbed into the sky. On the cliff, sleeping golden silkworms emit colorful halos, like water droplets hovering in the air, reflecting the entire Tianfeng Valley very beautifully, but also very strangely. Under the light of the bright moon in Mid-Autumn Festival, the cave of gods and demons is like a giant beast, quietly lying at the end of the valley.The two stalagmites at the entrance of the cave stand tall and straight into the sky, like sharp teeth in the mouth of a giant beast.There is no light in the hole, as if a wide mouth is open, waiting patiently for the prey that steps into its territory. Gina was surprised to find that there was already a person at the entrance of the cave. The man was lying on his side on a bluestone at the entrance of the cave, snoring, his clothes were ragged, and he was emitting a bad smell. He was clearly an old beggar on the verge of death. The old beggar's hair was already completely white, but it was covered with a thick layer of mud, which made it look gray and mottled, indescribably dirty.Wrinkles crisscrossed his face, and he looked more than a hundred years old.What was even more frightening was that his eyes had already been gouged out, leaving only two deep black holes, adding a bit of ferocity to this old and ugly face. Gina glanced at him, and suddenly remembered that A Pan Po in the east of the village had such a gloomy look on her face when she died, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared in her heart, and she timidly hid behind Lan Caiyi. Lan Caiyi supported Gina, fixed her eyes on the beggar, as if she wanted to understand his origin. She has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, of course she knows the truth that people should not be judged by appearances.However, when she cautiously breathed out her inner breath, she didn't receive the slightest response—this old beggar seemed to know no martial arts at all. Lan Caiyi was startled, the cave of gods and demons was located in the depths of Tianfeng Valley, if he was really an old beggar who didn't know martial arts and was dying, how could he find this forbidden martial arts place that everyone feared? Could it be that this person is actually a top expert, who has been able to train his internal energy to the point where it is invisible and invisible? Just as he was surprised, the old beggar sat up slowly from the boulder, stretched his waist, seemed to be listening to something, and hissed, "Is someone finally here?" Lan Caiyi frowned and said, "Who are you? Why are you here?" "Why am I here?" The old beggar coughed a few times, shook his head and said, "Girl, I should ask you this question. I have lived here for fourteen years." Lan Caiyi's face became more serious: "Do you live here?" The old beggar stretched out his hand, thumped his waist, which had long been unable to stand up straight, and sighed: "I am here to protect the Seven Zen Gu." As soon as he heard the words Seven Chan Gu, Lan Caiyi's expression changed abruptly, and he quietly took it out of his bosom with one hand. The old beggar seemed to see through her mind, with a wrinkled smile on his face: "I remember, your name is Lan Caiyi, and you came here seven years ago." Lan Caiyi's hand stopped suddenly, and she said in amazement, "I didn't see you seven years ago." The old beggar smiled and said, "It's just that I don't want you to see it." He shook his head again, "Girl, if you are Lan Caiyi, you don't have to go in, lest you risk your life in vain." Lan Caiyi frowned and said angrily, "Why?" The old beggar said leisurely: "Because you, like Qin Menglou, are not qualified enough to be recognized by the unbroken Gu in this life." Lan Caiyi was startled, and snorted heavily: "Why do you say I can't? You're old and blind, can you tell the difference between beauty and ugliness?" The old beggar shook his head and said, "Although I'm blind, I'm not blind. I've been guarding the Seven Zen Gu here for many years, and I only got one benefit, that is, I can understand the Gu language." Lan Caiyi sneered even more intensely: "Gu language? Then what did it say?" The old beggar smiled, pointed to the cave and said, "The Gu said, you'd better not go in." He paused, and then said, "Seven years ago, I also persuaded Qin Menglou like this, but it's a pity She doesn't believe it." As if to confirm his words, the golden silkworm Gu hovering on the cliff suddenly flickered, emitting a dazzling colorful light, illuminating the valley for a moment, and then slowly dimmed. Lan Caiyi's eyes were fixed on the old beggar, as if he was trying to tell the truth from what he said.Gradually, her anger was also extinguished with the colorful light of the golden silkworm, she sneered and said: "Old blind man, you may have missed this time, I am no longer the Lan Caiyi seven years ago!" With a sudden wave of her hand, she took off the black veil on her face. The moonlight of the fifteenth day was like flowing water, shining down on her face. Gina was about to cover her eyes habitually, but her hands seemed to be caught in an invisible rope and stopped in midair. She had never seen such a beautiful woman in her life. That originally ugly face has become delicate and soft at some point, as if carved from a whole piece of beautiful jade, without any blemish.And every line on the face is so delicate and perfect, as if it has been carefully portrayed by a master craftsman, it is so beautiful that it is not like a real person at all. Gina couldn't help but wonder secretly, what kind of Gu technique can create such a perfect face. Miao girls are so beautiful, and Gina has seen many beauties. Although she is young, she is also delicate and delicate, which can be said to be one of the best choices, but no matter what kind of beauty, there will be some regrets. Creation is always like this Being stingy will not give the world what is truly perfect. However, after being cruelly forged by the Instant Youth Gu, Lan Caiyi's appearance has truly wiped out all flaws, and the seven years of repressed and distorted beauty finally erupted at this moment, bursting out with a bewitching light, Almost burned Gina's eyes. Lan Caiyi seemed very satisfied with Gina's surprise, slowly turned to the old beggar, and said proudly: "Now, can the old man ask me about the Gu that has not been cured in this life?" The bright moon shone on her beautiful face, her whole body seemed to exude a compelling brilliance, she was completely different from the severely injured and tired just now. Perhaps because she couldn't see her face, the old beggar's expression didn't change much. He was about to speak, but a faint voice came from behind them: "Miss Lan's appearance at this moment is exactly what the ancients said. Review." Everyone turned around in amazement, and saw an extra soft sedan chair with carved flowers on the open space behind them. The style of the sedan chair is very quaint, and the body of the red sandalwood sedan chair is carved with cranes and cloud algae. Lan Caiyi's heart sank, in the barren mountains and ridges, it is extremely difficult for people to walk, let alone a sedan chair?What's more, when he came behind him, he didn't notice it at all! Lan Caiyi frowned deeply, the martial arts of the person in the sedan chair was obviously superior to hers, if he also came here for the Seven Zen Gu, he would be a real formidable opponent. The people in the sedan chair paused, as if they were waiting for the shock of the few people to dissipate before slowly finishing what they just said: "Beauty is beauty, and there is no soul." Lan Caiyi's face changed suddenly, she was about to explode, but she was afraid of the man's martial arts skills, so she suppressed her anger and glared at him. The car curtain fluttered gently in the night wind, like a night cloud in the sky. But I heard the human say: "In this life, the gods are born with Gu, and what they ask for and treat is definitely not a beauty of wood and stone created by the technique of Gu. Only then can the gods be moved." He seemed to sigh softly, "Miss Lan is not unattractive now, but she is narrow-minded, aggressive, and peerless." Lan Caiyi was so angry that she laughed out loud: "It's easy to say, but you found a beauty who is both beautiful and elegant, and opened our eyes." The man was silent for a moment, sighed for a long time, and said word by word: "it is me." "You?" Lan Caiyi couldn't help bursting out into a burst of laughter, and bowed down, "Who are you?" "Nangong Yun." His voice was not high, and he didn't show off at all, as if he just mentioned his name inadvertently while chatting and laughing with his friends. However, Lan Caiyi's laughter stopped abruptly.She suddenly raised her head and said, "Are you Nangong Yun?" She repeated again, "Nangong Yun from the Nangong family?" Nangong Yun smiled faintly, "It's me." Lan Caiyi suddenly shut her mouth, but Gina felt that her body was getting heavier and she could hardly support her. Jianghu is also a world, and there will always be various rankings circulated privately.A hundred years ago, Bai Xiaosheng, a stranger in the martial arts world, became famous for his weapon spectrum; some prodigal sons would also create a spectrum of martial arts beauties from time to time, and spread it privately.Compared with the ladies of the officialdom, martial arts women are less restrained and have a more civilized atmosphere, so they naturally imitate the beauty spectrum in their minds. —Of course all these beauties are men. This special book is called Lantai Pu, named after Song Yu, a beautiful man from Chu State, "Mr. Lantai".The people in the spectrum also use Song Yu as a model, focusing on appearance and demeanor, and also testing character and martial arts. There are more than 20 people on the list. The music book was circulated secretly in the boudoir of the young lady of the martial arts family, and no one knew about it until five years ago, Tang Xiuer, the eldest lady of the Tang family in the middle of Sichuan, accidentally lost it and leaked it, causing an uproar in the world. The old and stubborn people in the martial arts lamented that the world is getting worse and people's hearts are not old, but because of the momentum of the Tang Sect, they dare not say more.As a result, this Lantai genealogy has spread more and more widely, and everyone knows it.The young heroes on the list are disdainful on the surface, but they are secretly happy in their hearts. Afterwards, no matter whether they travel the rivers and lakes or marry with sects, they are worth ten times more.Later, this music book was simply changed from underground to public, everyone copied it, Luoyang paper was expensive, it was really an unprecedented spectacle in the martial arts world. In the Lantai score, Nangong Yun, the ninth son of the Nangong family, is the second place. Under Nangong Yun's name, there is also a title written by Qing Yun, the number one talented woman in the martial arts world: A modest gentleman, as gentle as jade. No one doubted that Nangong Yun was the person most worthy of this evaluation at that time.Born into a family, talented in literature, young and young, but Gui Yunjian has already practiced to the top of the rivers and lakes. He is indeed a rare talent in the martial arts world. Although Nangong Yun comes from a noble family, she is gentle and kind. She often travels around the rivers and lakes to solve problems for people in the martial arts world. She changed the impression that Nangong's family is superior and rejects others, and her reputation rose for a while. At that time, almost every young girl had a dream that she could meet the Ninth Young Master in the deep mountains and beautiful valleys, and be helped by him in distress. Since then, they have known each other and staged a legend. There are even some girls who are obsessed with the Ninth Young Master and secretly form an organization, preparing to run away from home and follow the Ninth Young Master's footsteps in the rivers and lakes.They even launched a war of words, trying to change the ranking of Lan Taipu and push the ninth son to the first place. However, after a long dispute, Jiu Gongzi still ranked second. Because the number one is the young master of Demon Sword Hall, Meng Tiancheng. If it is said that the Ninth Young Master often acts chivalrously and travels the rivers and lakes, Meng Tiancheng lives in isolation and is mysterious.The Demon Sword Hall and the Nangong Family are old enemies, and they have been fighting endlessly for a hundred years.Nangong Yun and Meng Tiancheng are good and evil, and they happen to be the leaders of the two families, so they naturally became the best topic in the girls' boudoir. Only three years ago, the Nangong family and the Demon Sword Hall fought to the death, the Nangong family suffered heavy losses, several elders all died in the battle, while the entire Demon Sword Hall was destroyed and disappeared from sight.Legend has it that Meng Tiancheng also fell off the cliff during the decisive battle, causing the girls to sigh and cry for a while. Since then, although the Lantai score has not been rewritten, Nangong Yun has become the uncrowned king. The moonlight in front of the God and Demon Cave was uncertain, Lan Caiyi felt a secret pain in his heart. Of course she had heard of Nangong Yun's name.Not to mention whether his appearance is as pure as in the legend, with the Guiyun sword in his hand alone, he has no chance of winning. At this time, Nangong Yun smiled: "Nangong Yun is definitely not a bully. Since Miss Lan is one step ahead, if she insists on going into the cave to see the unfinished Gu in this life, I will never stop her." Lan Caiyi was startled, as if she didn't expect Nangong Yun to be so magnanimous and let her enter the cave first.It should be known that the Seven Zen Gu will only select one master, if Lan Caiyi is approved first, even if Nangong Yun is a fairy, there is no other way. But immediately, she read contempt from this generosity. She stared at the figure in the soft sedan, and said coldly: "You are so confident, are you sure that I can't succeed?" Nangong Yun smiled and said nothing, as if tacitly acquiescing. Lan Caiyi supported Gina's shoulders and barely stood up straight, but the pain from the wound aroused her courage: "I have been tortured for ten years before I waited for this opportunity, and I will never give up no matter what. Although the Hundred Gu Sect is not a high-ranking sect, it has never been afraid of others." She frowned slightly, and bit her lip lightly.That little bit of grievance and strength made her stone-like beauty come alive, making her look extraordinarily moving under the moonlight. Nangong Yun sighed softly: "Why are you so persistent, giving up your life for nothing?" The night wind gently blew the car curtain, and he had already stepped out of the soft car. Thousands of golden silkworms suddenly emitted dazzling lights, as if they couldn't help admiring in unison.Countless colorful lights condensed into autumn clouds in an instant, gently surrounding him. But no matter how bright and beautiful these rays of light are, they cannot cover up himself. On his sapphire-colored clothes, cloud patterns were lightly embroidered.Let his whole body be shrouded in a soft halo like beautiful jade, and he looks so lofty and lofty.Lan Caiyi was concentrating on trying to see his face clearly, but she still couldn't.For a moment, she had an illusion—she couldn't even be sure whether the person in front of her was still alive! Only that faint smile made him feel so warm again, as if he was originally a person in the sky, but because of this smile, he returned to the world. However, Lan Caiyi felt that the enthusiasm in her heart was cooling down little by little, and finally condensed into ice. With Yushan on the side, I suddenly feel ashamed.This feeling really struck her, bit by bit turning her heart into dead ashes. She silently compared each other's faces in her heart, she didn't know what went wrong, she only knew that she was indeed defeated! Why, why did the momentary beauty gained in exchange for seven years of pain still lose to his smile in the end? Could it be that he really has nothing to do with the Seven Zen Gu? The astonishment and disappointment on Lan Caiyi's face gradually turned into bitterness. Gina was originally photographed by Nangong Yun's appearance, and was stunned, but felt that Lan Caiyi's hands gradually became cold, and couldn't help worrying: "Sister, what's wrong with you?" 她目光落在蓝彩衣脸上，却不由大惊失色。她的脸并没有改变，但美丽眸子中却泛出一片死灰的色泽。 她的目光看上去竟和垂死的阿婆一样苍老。 吉娜只觉一阵恶寒从心底深处升起，似乎预感到了什么：“姐姐，不要……” 就在这时，蓝彩衣眼中掠过一丝决绝，两条彩色丝带突地从她袖中激射而出，将她整个身子托起，向神魔洞中飞去。 “不要！”吉娜失声惊呼，正要去抓住她，却被一股强大的反挫之力弹开了。 吉娜连忙爬起来，却只看到蓝彩衣最后的眼神。 她投身神魔洞，并不是想要获得此生未了蛊的认可。而是一切希望破灭之后，她只有用毁灭，来表达对自己的最后一点尊重。 她宁愿在最美的时刻，葬身七禅蛊身前，也不愿在病痛与丑陋的折磨中，慢慢死去。 ——如果我不能得到你，那请让我再看你一眼。 然后，沉醉在你给予的死亡中，无怨无悔。 吉娜怔怔地跪在冰冷的青石上，蓝彩衣最后的身影如惊鸿一瞥，却是如此动人。 然后，一声巨大的兽啸直冲云霄。 天地动摇，四周山石滚滚落下，吉娜几乎立身不住。 一阵嗡嗡振翅之声大作，伴随着蓝彩衣凄厉的长笑，但瞬间，她的笑声就已淹没在骨肉破碎的裂响中了。 一切又重归寂静。 吉娜又惊又悲，眼圈立刻红了起来。身后那老乞丐轻轻摇头道：“可惜。” 南宫韵脸上又浮起那优雅的笑意，拱手对老乞丐道：“老先生，现在轮到我去取蛊了。” “你也不必。”一个声音在黑暗中响起，那声音低沉动听，却带着莫名的森寒，连谷中的夜风也不禁为之瑟缩。 南宫韵也不由微微变色：“谁？” “我。”一个黑色人影在月色中渐渐清晰。 “孟天成？”南宫韵温婉的笑容顿时有些僵硬，“你还没死？” 那人缓缓向洞口走来，一字字道：“二百八十条人命，还没找你们南宫家讨回来，我又怎么会死？”夜风如鬼啸般响起，大片墨云宛如张开了一对巨大的羽翼，捧侍在他身后，随着他的脚步，徐徐向神魔洞压下。 南宫韵摇了摇头：“不可能，你中了我的归云剑，绝不可能活这么久的。” 孟天成冷笑道：“我只是没有想到，堂堂南宫世家的公子，江湖上人人敬仰的少侠，竟会在剑上下毒！” 南宫韵想要反驳，却一时无语。看着他步步逼来，不禁又想起了月光下他那弯血红的魔刀和赤红的双瞳，心中不禁一寒，他深吸一口气，勉强沉下心来，道：“你……你也来取七禅蛊？” 孟天成在他面前三尺处止步，森然笑道：“还有人比我更配来见此生未了蛊吗？” 他长身站在南宫韵面前，黑衣宛如羽翼一般在山风中翻飞。 这一刻，借着微薄的月光，吉娜看清了他的脸。 这张脸极为清俊，惊若天人，却又偏偏带着浓厚的邪气。 如果说南宫韵宛如美玉一般温婉动人，那他就是一团暗狱之火，在仇恨中燃烧出夺目的光华。 这光华带着邪恶、妖异，却是如此耀眼，将南宫韵精心维持的风仪一点点侵蚀、焚灭。 无边杀气，从孟天成身上透出，沉沉压在整个神魔洞口。南宫韵心中一惊，短短三年时间，他的武功竟进步了这么多。 孟天成冷笑，又向前踏了一步。南宫韵为他的气势所迫，几乎要向后退去。但是他没有，他只是紧紧握住了归云剑。 他知道，这个时候后退哪怕小小一步，他就彻底失败了。自己的梦想，父辈的期望，南宫世家的百年荣耀都会在这一退中彻底化为泡影。 所以，他只能克制胸中的恐惧，努力让自己站得很直。 虽然在吉娜看来，他依然玉树临风，风姿清绝，但一旁的老乞丐却已发出了一声长长的叹息。 就在这时，一道夺目的红光如闪电般划破夜空。 南宫韵的归云剑刚刚出鞘，却感到咽喉处宛如被风吹过，微微有些发寒。然后，他看到孟天成那双被仇恨点得赤红的眸子。 “你的债，总是要还的。” 砰的一声轻响，大蓬鲜血喷溅而出。 吉娜一声尖叫，南宫韵的眼睛陡然张大，不可置信地望着对手。 然后，缓缓倒下。 鲜血如飞花落叶，洋洋洒洒，但孟天成没有躲闪，而是在血雨中，徐徐张开衣袖，尽情享受着仇人鲜血的温度。 温润腥咸的液体，沾湿了他披散的长发和羽翼般飞扬的衣带。他看上去就宛如在复仇中沉沦的王子，将自己清俊的容颜、高绝的武功和心中的善良、眼中的温暖一起交给了妖魔。 良久，他将手中赤红的弯刀收起，也不看吓得瑟瑟发抖的吉娜，径直向神魔洞走去。 "stop." 孟天成皱眉——他本以为，没有人敢在此时拦住他。 回头看去，却见那老乞丐正用脸上两个黑洞对着自己，孟天成不禁一阵厌恶，冷冷道：“怎样？” 老乞丐摇头道：“你不能进去。” 孟天成的声音更冷：“为什么？” 老乞丐长长叹息一声道：“十几年来，来到神魔洞的人不下数百。你的确是其中最优秀的。”他的脸色冷了下去，话锋一转，“但还是不够。” 不够？ 孟天成的脸色冷如冰霜，森寒的杀气流水一般从他袖中的弯刀透出。老乞丐却仿佛完全不觉，挥手道：“走吧，此生未了蛊不会认可你。” 孟天成注视着他，杀气渐渐敛起，转身依旧向洞口走去。 老乞丐长叹道：“我好心阻止你，并不是因为你比他们接近此生未了蛊的要求，而是他们取蛊，都有不得已的理由，而你不是。你只是受人所托而来，又何必如此执著？” 孟天成不禁停下脚步，重新打量这老乞丐：“你怎么知道？” 老乞丐道：“你不必问我，我只告诉你一件事。”他的话音不高，却带着不容置辩的力量，“我守护神蛊多年，已与他们心意相通，你若相信我，立刻放弃。” 孟天成紧闭嘴唇，并不答话。 老乞丐道：“我虽看不见，却能感到你心中的犹豫。你有未报之仇，未报之恩，未尽之情，的确不应该轻生的。” 月光下，孟天成的身影似乎微微颤动了一下，显然老乞丐的话，已触动了他心灵深处最软弱的一线。 孟天成缓缓抬头，月光倾洒在他的脸上：“我只想知道，此生未了蛊到底要寻找怎样的主人？” 他半面脸庞已被鲜血沾染，但这不仅无损他出尘的清俊，反而与他与生俱来的邪逸之气映衬，更显出一种独特的魅惑。 这种魅惑，足以让任何一个少女心动。 他的确有资格问这样的话。 若连他也不能获得此生未了蛊的认可，那还有谁能？ 老乞丐却笑了：“一年前，我也很疑惑这个问题。敢于前来神魔洞取蛊的，无不是万里挑一的美人，神蛊却不屑一顾。等了一年又一年，我也不禁着急起来，开始在江湖上四处行走，希望能找出更为出色的人选。直到一年前，我看到了他。” 老乞丐的声音竟因激动而微微发颤：“我一眼认定，他就是七禅蛊要寻找的人。于是我几次暗中留信，希望他能领悟我的苦心，来到神魔洞……但他还是没有来。” 孟天成道：“为什么？” 老乞丐苍老的脸上掩不住失落：“因为他已不需要七禅蛊。真是可笑，想要七禅蛊的人，七禅蛊不想要他。七禅蛊在等的人，却并不需要七禅蛊。” 孟天成仰望明月，脸上浮现出一个讥诮的笑容，似在嘲笑自己，又似在嘲弄此事本身。 老乞丐长叹：“我也已经老了，只怕等不到下一个七年，难道这天生神物，终究无法为世所用，只能长眠于深山大泽之中吗？” 孟天成瞑目思索片刻，道：“那人是谁？” 老乞丐的脸色凝重下来，一字字道：“新任武林盟主，杨逸之。” 杨逸之，这普普通通的三个字，却仿佛带着莫名的力量，夜风一般从天风谷中飘过。 孟天成的双眼霍然睁开，却再也说不出一个字。 他眼中的神色十分复杂。 这样的神情，吉娜一天之内已经看到了三次。第一次是蓝彩衣听到南宫韵的名字，第二次是南宫韵见到孟天成。 第三次就是现在。 Yang Yizhi? 吉娜不禁对这个名字起了强烈的好奇心，到底是怎样的人，才能让七禅蛊如此看重，能让孟天成也甘避锋芒？ 难道说，他就是自己要寻找的，那双眸子的主人？ 想到这里，吉娜的心中一阵热血沸腾，恨不得化身飞鸟，马上来到他面前。 老乞丐望着孟天成，似乎在重申一个事实：“七禅蛊本是为他而等。” 孟天成沉吟良久，身后，万千金蚕蛊光芒明灭不定，一如他心中天人交战。 他终于点了点头：“这三个字，便够我向王爷交代了。”突然转身，向谷外走去。 吉娜瑟缩着躲在一旁，看着他的衣角从自己眼前飞扬而过。她本想叫住他，询问杨逸之的下落，却一个字也说不出口。这一日奇变迭生，早已让她惊得没了力气。 吴越王府。 华灯摇曳不定，明黄色的帷幕在夜风中微微起伏。 吴越王默默听完了孟天成的陈述，叹息道：“你做得对。” 孟天成脸上略有愧色：“是我办事不力……” 吴越王摆手道：“不必自责，你走之前，我一再叮嘱你要听从洞口老乞丐的判断。他若说你不能，就不必冒险。”吴越王的目光落在他身上，缓缓道，“在我心中，人才比七禅蛊更加重要。” 孟天成低下头，清俊的脸罩在斗篷的阴影下，却看不出神色。 他沉默良久才道：“那个老人是谁？” 吴越王淡然笑道：“他就是上一任七禅蛊的主人。” 孟天成皱起眉头：“邱渡？” 吴越王点了点头：“正是，与魔教长老一战，他身负重伤，幸得三生蛊之助，并未丧命。但他深爱的女子，却死在了他怀中。邱渡自此心灰意冷，无心涉足江湖，于是将七禅蛊从身上取下。十余年来，他隐居山谷，即是要为这七只上古神兽找到新的寄主，也是为了远离俗尘，追缅往事。” 孟天成点了点头。 吴越王苦笑道：“早有耳闻，七禅蛊乃不祥之物，每一届寄主都不得善终，如今看来，这种说法并非空穴来风。”他的笑容里有些自嘲，“但兵者不祥之物，圣人不得已而用之。相比七禅蛊带来的力量，这些传言又何足畏惧？” 孟天成淡淡道：“王爷如今的武功已经足够睥睨当世，又何必非要借邪法之助？” 吴越王看着他，笑容里有些自嘲：“睥睨当世……”他逼视着孟天成，一字字道，“比杨逸之如何？比卓王孙如何？” 孟天成一怔，无法回答。这两个名字宛如尖刀一般，再度刺痛了他的心。 吴越王也是一样。 他渐渐将目光挪开，长叹道：“我所图的，乃是整个天下；我要创立的，是今古未有的伟业。因此，我必须得到天下无敌的力量。”他注视着自己的手掌，一字字道，“现有的这些，还远远不够。” 孟天成低头道：“是。” 吴越王脸上渐渐聚起一个微笑，声音也为之一缓：“所以，还要你帮我。” 孟天成没有答话。 他当日被南宫韵暗算，跌落山崖，是吴越王将他救起，以奇方异术，助他恢复、增进武功，甚至还让他得到了最爱的女人为妻。他本是桀骜不逊的魔道少年，但一日灭门之祸，已让他人生彻底改变。为了报仇雪恨，他就算献身为魔也在所不惜，何况这仅是吴越王给他的一份礼遇？ 三年来，他绝口不提报恩之事，却已许下承诺，无论多难之事，也要替吴越王完成。 吴越王沉吟道：“七禅蛊既然不可得，那只好先设法找到四天令了。”他从袖中取出一封信函，“数年前，魔教教主集齐四天令，掘出天罗宝藏，借其中秘宝之力，屠武当，灭少林，一时风光无限。之后，四天令再次分散，流落四方。据我所知，其中一枚已经到了扶桑。你要做的，就是去一趟日出之国，替我将这枚玄天令取回来。这封信中，有你东渡所需的一切。” 孟天成接过信函，却有些犹豫。 吴越王笑道：“我知道你想问什么，你心里一定很疑惑，既然天罗宝藏已被取走，我搜集四天令还有什么意义？” 孟天成默然。 吴越王道：“我本也以为四天令的作用，只是开启天罗宝藏的钥匙。直到一年前，先知告诉我，原来四天令中还隐藏着一个更为巨大的秘密。只要解开了这个秘密，就能执掌倾覆天下的力量，而这，正是我最想要的。” 孟天成点了点头，他并不想追问这个秘密到底是什么，因为他相信吴越王的判断。 他缓缓将信函收起，嘴角挑起一丝笑意：“一年之后的今日，必献玄天令于此。” 这是他的承诺。
