Chapter 24 Chapter 22 Gong Ziyu

Fu Hongxue didn't look back, nor did he move. He can't move.He already felt an all-conquering and pervasive murderous aura, as long as he moved, no matter what he did, it might create a chance for the opponent to attack.Even the slightest twitch of a muscle can cause a fatal error.Although he knew that someone like Gong Ziyu would never attack behind his back, he had to be on guard. Gong Ziyu suddenly laughed, the laughter was more elegant and polite, and said: "As expected, he is indeed an unparalleled master in the world." Fu Hongxue remained silent. Mrs. Zhuo blinked, and said: "He didn't even move, so you can tell that he is a master?"

Gong Ziyu said: "Because he didn't move, he is an unparalleled master in the world." Mrs. Zhuo said, "Is it harder to not move than to move?" Gong Ziyu said: "It's much more difficult." Mrs. Zhuo said, "I don't understand." Gong Ziyu said: "You should understand. If you were Fu Hongxue, if you knew that I suddenly came behind you, what would you do?" Mrs. Zhuo said: "I will be very surprised!" Gong Ziyu said: "It's inevitable to be surprised, to be vigilant, and to move." Mrs. Zhuo said: "Not bad!"

Gong Ziyu said: "As long as you move, you will die!" Mrs. Zhuo said, "Why?" Gong Ziyu said: "Because you don't know where I will strike from, so no matter how you move, you can make fatal mistakes." Mrs. Zhuo said: "If an opponent like you suddenly gets behind a person, everyone will inevitably be nervous. Even if the person does not move, the muscles on the back will inevitably tighten." Gong Ziyu said: "But he didn't. Although I have been standing behind him for a long time, his whole body hasn't changed at all!" Madam Zhuo finally sighed, and said: "Now I finally understand that it is indeed much more difficult to stay still than to move!"

If you know that there is a person like Gong Ziyu standing behind you, and the muscles of his whole body can still keep relaxed, then your nerves must be much colder. Mrs. Zhuo suddenly asked again: "If he doesn't move, don't you have a chance to make a move?" Gong Ziyu said: "Staying still is moving, and the end point of all movements and changes is not moving." Mrs. Zhuo said: "There are too many empty doors, but there are no empty doors, because the whole person has become empty, empty, and illusory, so you don't know where to start?" Gong Ziyu smiled and said, "I knew you would understand this truth."

Mrs. Zhuo said: "I also know that you won't make a move at all. If you want to kill him behind his back, there are many chances that are much better than this one." She smiled and said again: "Because your purpose is not to kill him, but to defeat him." Gong Ziyu suddenly sighed and said, "It's easy to kill him, but much harder to defeat him." He finally walked out from behind Fu Hongxue.His steps were serene and steady.At this moment, Fu Hongxue suddenly felt exhausted, and his clothes were soaked in cold sweat. He must not let Gong Ziyu discover this, he suddenly said: "Why do you want to sacrifice the easy and ask for the difficult?"

Gong Ziyu said deeply: "Because you are Fu Hongxue and I am Gong Ziyu." Now that Gong Ziyu had finally faced Fu Hongxue, Fu Hongxue still hadn't seen his true face. Seen from behind, his demeanor was impeccable.However, he was wearing a ferocious and ugly bronze mask on his face! Fu Hongxue said coldly: "Unexpectedly, Gong Ziyu would not dare to see people with his true colors." Mrs. Zhuo said: "You are wrong again." Fu Hongxue sneered. Mrs. Zhuo said: "What you see now is Gong Ziyu's true face." Fu Hongxue said, "What I see is just a mask."

Mrs. Zhuo said: "Don't I wear a mask on my face? Could it be that you were born with such a cold and bloodless appearance? Isn't this your true face!" Fu Hongxue shut his mouth again. Mrs. Zhuo said: "Actually, you should understand that it doesn't matter what he looks like, as long as you know he is Gong Ziyu, this is the most important thing." This is a fact, and even Fu Hongxue couldn't deny it, because he couldn't help but ask himself——Is the me now really my true face?What does my true face look like? Gong Ziyu said lightly: "I don't want to see your true face, as long as I know you are Fu Hongxue, that's enough."

Fu Hongxue stared at him, and after a long time, said deeply: "Now you already know that I am Fu Hongxue, and I already know that you are Gong Ziyu." Gong Ziyu said: "So there is something we must solve now." Fu Hongxue said, "What's the matter?" Gong Ziyu said: "Among the two of us, only one can survive now." His voice was still cold and polite, obviously full of confidence in himself: "Whoever is strong will live." Fu Hongxue said: "It seems that there is only one way to solve this kind of thing!" Gong Ziyu said: "That's right, there is only one way. Since ancient times, there has been only one way."

He stared at the knife in Fu Hongxue's hand: "So I must beat you with my own hands." Fu Hongxue said, "Otherwise you would rather die?" Gong Ziyu suddenly showed an indescribable sadness in his eyes, and said: "Otherwise I will die." Fu Hongxue said, "I don't understand." Gong Ziyu said: "You should understand. I don't want others to kill you, just to prove that I am stronger than you. I must be the strongest person in the world, otherwise I would rather die." His voice was suddenly full of sarcasm: "Wulin is like an independent kingdom, and only one emperor is allowed to exist, either me or you!"

Fu Hongxue said: "I'm afraid you are wrong this time!" Gong Ziyu said: "I am not wrong. There are many things that can prove that besides me, you are the person with the strongest martial arts in the world today!" He turned around suddenly, faced the painting on the wall, and continued slowly: "It's not easy for you to walk into this room alive, it's not luck." Mrs. Zhuo sighed lightly, and said, "Definitely not." There are many characters in the painting, lifelike, and the painting seems to be a story.In every story, there is a same person.This person is Fu Hongxue.When he faced the painting, he saw himself for the first time——

In the gloomy weather, in a small town on the border, there are two people fighting fiercely on the long street.One person is dressed in white like snow, but he is waving a bright red sword in his hand, while the knife in the other person's palm is pitch black. Gong Ziyu said: "You should remember that this is the Phoenix Collection." Of course Fu Hongxue remembered that the Phoenix Collection had not yet become a dead town, and that was the first time he had seen Yan Nanfei! Gong Ziyu said: "You defeated Yan Nanfei in this battle." In the second scene, Fenghuangji had turned into a dead town. In the mist, two people knelt in front of Fu Hongxue. Gong Ziyu said: "You have defeated the Five Elements Double Kill in this battle." Then there is the poisonous snake in the saddle, the poisonous cake of the ghost grandmother, and the poisonous wine on the bright moon tower. In the desolate Ni family's abandoned garden, a barefoot young man was slowly falling down under his knife. Gong Ziyu said: "Du Lei is a rare expert in the Jianghu. His sword skills are honed from suffering. Although he is a bit arrogant and artificial, I still didn't expect you to kill him with a single blow!" Fu Hongxue said: "There is only one knife to kill people!" Gong Ziyu sighed: "Don't think about it, think about it, God knows it, the last move comes first, and the change is the same, one knife is indeed enough!" This knife has not only broken through the changes of all moves in the knife technique, but also surpassed the limit of form and speed. Mrs. Zhuo said: "What surprised me the most is that you were able to escape from the basement of Peacock Villa!" The Peacock Villa was reduced to rubble, and Zhuo Yuzhen had already appeared on the screen.The Heavenly King slays ghosts with a knife and slashes galloping horses, Cook Hao chops meat in front of the car, Ming Yuexin and Zhuo Yuzhen are sent to the basement of Peacock Villa, Gongsun Tu appears, Zhuo Yuzhen gives birth in the basement... Seeing this, Fu Hongxue's hands and feet were already cold. Mrs. Zhuo said: "She is a rope. We wanted to use her to tie your hands. If you keep thinking about her and those two children in your heart, your hands will be tied." A person whose hands have already been tied is of course not worthy of Gong Ziyu to do it himself. Mrs. Zhuo sighed: "But we never imagined that under such circumstances, you can still kill the Heavenly King Slaying Ghost Sword!" Fu Hongxue clenched her hands tightly, and said, "At that time, you were already planning to let her reveal her identity, so why did you want her to kill Du Shiqi?" Mrs. Zhuo said: "Because we have to use her to do one last thing." Fu Hongxue said: "You want her to use those two children to force me to take out the Yin-Yang Great Compassion Fu?" Mrs. Zhuo nodded, and said: "It was only then that we believed that the "Yin Yang Great Compassion Fu" did not fall into your hands, because we knew that you would sacrifice everything for those two children." She took another breath, and said, "It's a pity that you actually practiced the Great Shifting Acupuncture, and you didn't die in her hands. It's even more pity that you couldn't bear to kill her!" So the girl wearing jasmine flowers appeared on the painting, feeding a spoonful of chicken soup into Fu Hongxue's mouth, the old woman next door was killing a chicken, and Xiao Ting wearing jasmine flowers was buying wine in a small shop on the street. The shop owner looked at her chest with an obscene smile.But he had passed out drunk in that vulgar small room, as if he had gradually gotten used to that humble life. Mrs. Zhuo said: "At that time we thought you were doomed. Even if you could still kill people, you were just a crazy executioner, and it was no longer worthy of your son to deal with you." What Gong Ziyu has to deal with is just the strongest person in the martial arts. Mrs. Zhuo said: "If you are no longer the strongest person in the martial arts, even if you die in the gutter, we will not be happy, so we are ready to find someone else to kill you at that time." Fu Hongxue said: "Unfortunately, there are not many people who can kill me." Mrs. Zhuo said, "We know at least one." Fu Hongxue said, "Who?" Mrs. Zhuo said, "You yourself." Fu Hongxue immediately recalled that miserable and hopeless voice, enough to completely lose the will to survive.No one would have imagined that he would still have the courage to live at that time.Perhaps it is because of his courage that he has survived until now.If even he can defeat himself, why does Gong Ziyu do it himself? Gong Ziyu said: "So you should understand by now that it is definitely not luck that you came here alive." Fu Hongxue asked again: "You did this just because you wanted to prove that you are better than me?" Gong Ziyu said: "Not bad." His eyes suddenly showed that kind of indescribable sadness and ridicule, and said: "Because all of this can only be enjoyed by the strongest people. If you can defeat me, all of this will be yours." Fu Hongxue said, "All of this?" Mrs. Zhuo said: "All this means everything, including not only all the wealth, honor and power, but even me." She smiled, softly and sweetly: "As long as you can defeat him, even I will be yours." Push open the door and go out, it is a long corridor, as if it will never end.Gong Ziyu had already opened the door and walked out, then turned around again. "Please, please follow me." Mrs. Zhuo did not follow Fu Hongxue out, and now they have reached the end of the corridor. At the end is also a carved wooden door, which is exquisite and heavy. In an empty hall inside, there is a broad stone platform, and there are huge torches on all four corners. Gong Ziyu walked up slowly and stood in the middle of the stone platform: "This is where we will duel." Fu Hongxue said, "Very good." Flat stone platform, bright torch, no matter where you stand, no matter which direction you face.There is not even a little wind in the room, and your preparation and speed when you shoot will never be affected by any outside influence. Gong Ziyu obviously didn't want to take advantage of him in terms of the right time and place.It is not easy to do this. On both sides of the stone platform, there are three large and comfortable chairs, and the distance from the edge of the stone platform is exactly seven feet. Gong Ziyu said: "When we fight, we can only allow six people to watch the battle. They are also the witnesses of this duel. You can choose any three of them." Fu Hongxue said, "No need." Gong Ziyu said: "In the competition between masters, the key to winning or losing is often decided on a small matter. It is always more at ease to have your own friends to take care of you. Why did you give up this right?" Fu Hongxue said, "Because I have no friends." Gong Ziyu stared at him, and said: "You might as well keep this right. If there is anyone I have found that makes you feel uneasy, you can refuse at any time." Fu Hongxue said, "Very good." Gong Ziyu said: "You are exhausted all day long, and your mental and physical strength will inevitably be weak. You might as well rest here for a while, so the date of the duel is also up to you to choose!" Fu Hongxue hesitated, and said, "How about tomorrow?" Gong Ziyu said: "Very good." Fu Hongxue said, "Then I'll come back tomorrow." Gong Ziyu said: "You don't have to go, I have already prepared clothes for you here, you can rest at ease, no one will disturb you, if you need anything, we can also take care of it for you." Fu Hongxue said: "It seems that this is indeed a very fair duel." Gong Ziyu said: "Absolutely." Fu Hongxue said: "You must have already prepared my coffin." Gong Ziyu didn't deny it, and said: "It's a high-quality nanmu coffin, which was specially transported from Liuzhou. If you want to go and have a look first, I can take you there too." Fu Hongxue said, "Have you seen it?" Gong Ziyu said: "I have seen it." Fu Hongxue said, "You are very satisfied." Gong Ziyu said: "Very satisfied." Fu Hongxue said flatly, "That's enough." Gong Ziyu's reaction was even more flat, saying: "Now you may just want to see your bed." Fu Hongxue said, "Yes." Gorgeous velvet curtains hid the daylight, and the room was as dark as dusk. There was another monotonous and brief sound of drawing a sword outside, and Fu Hongxue was fully awake. He actually fell asleep just now.He was not awakened by the sound of the sword, he woke up suddenly because there were already more people in the room.A slender and slender figure was leaning against the window lattice with her back to him. Under a soft silk robe, one could vaguely see her slender waist and straight legs. Knowing that Fu Hongxue had woken up, she didn't look back, but sighed lightly, and said leisurely, "It's been another day, day after day, year after year, when will this kind of life end?" His noble and elegant voice, his soft and graceful posture carried an indescribable sense of boredom. Fu Hongxue didn't respond. Mrs. Zhuo continued slowly: "Maybe you think I shouldn't come at all, I'm still his wife after all, but I'm really tired of this kind of life, so..." Fu Hongxue said, "So you hope that I can defeat him?" Mrs. Zhuo said, "Yes, I really hope you can defeat him. Over the years, you are the only one who has a chance to defeat him. After you defeat him, my life will change." Fu Hongxue said, "The winner gets everything?" Mrs. Zhuo said: "Everything." Fu Hongxue said, "Even his wife is no exception?" Mrs. Zhuo said: "Yes." Fu Hongxue suddenly sneered, and said, "Since you're not a good wife, he doesn't have to take such a risk." Mrs. Zhuo said: "But he wants to prove that he is better than you." Fu Hongxue said coldly: "Who is the proof for? Is there another person here who is in charge of his destiny? He did this because he had no choice at all?" Mrs. Zhuo suddenly turned her head and stared at him, her beautiful eyes were full of surprise. After a long time, she sighed and said, "Why do you have such an idea?" Fu Hongxue said, "If you were me, what would you think?" Mrs. Zhuo said: "At least I won't be as cranky as you. I will only think about how to defeat him." She walked over slowly, her waist was soft, and her eyes were watery: "Although I can't be regarded as a good wife, I am a very good woman, and you should be able to tell." Fu Hongxue said, "I can't see it." Mrs. Zhuo sighed lightly, and said, "Now you might as well take another look." After saying this, the soft silk robe slipped off her body. Fu Hongxue's breathing stopped; he had to admit that this was indeed the most flawless carcass he had ever seen in his life.A noble woman suddenly naked in front of him, this kind of temptation is even more irresistible. She stood quietly at the head of the bed, looked at him, and said, "As long as you can overcome, all of this is yours, but not yet." Fu Hongxue's pale face was already blushing.He knew the change in his body, and he knew she must have noticed it too. In the beautiful dusk, the house is so quiet, filled with the elegant fragrance emanating from her body. He is a man after all. But she had already picked up her clothes, and walked away as lightly as a swallow. When she walked out the door, she suddenly looked back and smiled, and said: "Now I am not yours, but if you need, I can find someone else to accompany you." Fu Hongxue clenched his fists, and suddenly asked, "Is Zhuo Yuzhen here?" Madam Zhuo nodded. Fu Hongxue said: "Go and find her, come right away." Mrs. Zhuo looked at him in surprise, as if she never dreamed that he would make such a request. Fu Hongxue said coldly: "You just said that as long as it's what I want, you can do it for me." Mrs. Zhuo smiled again, and there seemed to be an indescribable secret in her smile, and she said, "Why did you choose her? Why didn't you choose Mingyuexin?" Fu Hongxue's body suddenly stiffened. Mrs. Zhuo said leisurely: "You can't imagine that she is not dead yet?" Fu Hongxue said: "I..." Mrs. Zhuo said: "She is here too, do you want me to bring her here?" She suddenly lowered her face again, and said coldly: "I know you won't want it. What you want is Zhuo Yuzhen. You have always liked her kind of lowly and vicious woman." With a "bang", the door was slammed shut: this time when she left, she didn't look back. Why did she suddenly become so impulsive and angry?Was it Zhuo Yuzhen who Fu Hongxue was looking for? A beautiful, sly and calm woman would not normally be offended by such things. Fu Hongxue was still lying quietly on the bed, and the single and short sound of drawing the sword continued incessantly.Others have paid such a high price for this battle, wouldn't it be too stupid for him to worry about women? But he still couldn't stop thinking about Ming Yuexin.If she really hasn't died yet, if she falls into the hands of these people, what she will encounter may be more tragic than death. When he thought of this, he realized that he hadn't thought of her for a long, long time. A person will always try to avoid thinking about things that he feels guilty about. Suddenly the night was very deep, and the room was dark, but there was a knock on the door outside. "who?" "It's Miss Zhuo, Miss Zhuo Yuzhen Zhuo." Two maids supported Zhuo Yuzhen and walked in. She was beautifully dressed, her jet-black hair was covered with pearls and jade, and a bright red cloak was dragged on the ground, she looked a bit like Wang Zhaojun, a beautiful woman who served the imperial court. Of course she no longer had to put on that kind of pitiful look, she looked at Fu Hongxue coldly, expressionless. The maids put down the gauze lanterns, giggled and left quietly. Zhuo Yuzhen suddenly said coldly: "You came here for me?" Fu Hongxue nodded. Zhuo Yuzhen said, "Are you looking for me for revenge?" Fu Hongxue said: "I came to you only because I wanted to ask you a few things." Zhuo Yuzhen said, "What about now?" Fu Hongxue said, "I don't want to ask now, so you might as well go." Zhuo Yuzhen said, "You don't want revenge?" Fu Hongxue said, "I don't want to." Zhuo Yuzhen said, "You don't want me to go to bed either?" Fu Hongxue closed his mouth.He doesn't blame her.It was not surprising that she said such things; a woman like her, when she knew that she could no longer use her actions to hurt others, would always say cruel words to hurt others.She hurt others, maybe just because she wanted to protect herself. He didn't blame her, but he suddenly felt very tired, and he only hoped that she would leave quickly and never see her again.He suddenly realized that other things were not important, only tomorrow's battle was the most important.He must defeat this man who is still drawing his sword until now.Only by defeating this person can he reveal all the secrets and see Ming Yuexin again. But Zhuo Yuzhen was still standing there, staring at him, eyes full of sorrow and resentment, and suddenly said: "Since you don't take me to heart at all, why do you have to ask me to come?" Fu Hongxue said: "Even if I shouldn't have asked you to come, you can still leave now." Zhuo Yuzhen said, "It's different." Fu Hongxue said, "What's the difference?" Zhuo Yuzhen said: "It's different, it's different..." She didn't seem to hear what Fu Hongxue was asking at all, she just kept repeating this sentence in her mouth, and she didn't know how many times she said it, tears suddenly rolled down her cheeks.Her body also fell down.The bright red cloak spread out, revealing bright red blood. It's real blood.The blood had stained her naked body red, and there was almost no intact flesh in her body. Fu Hongxue jumped up, but his heart sank. Zhuo Yuzhen gritted her teeth and said, "Now you should understand why it's different..." Fu Hongxue said, "Just because I wanted you to come, she tortured you like this?" Zhuo Yuzhen smiled and said, "Actually, you should have known that even though she won't let you touch her, she doesn't want you to touch other women either, because..." Her laugh was more miserable than crying, and she wanted to go on, but she couldn't even say a word. Fu Hongxue was still asking, "Why? Why?" Zhuo Yuzhen smiled again, her eyelids were closed, and a strong smell of medicine radiated from the loose cloak.Her death was not painful, because her whole body had already been numb by Mrs. Zhuo's medicine. It is said that in the fertile soil by the Nile River in the distant Tianzhu, there is a beautiful and strange flower called "poppy", which can anesthetize not only the body, but also the soul. Are some women like this kind of flower, the blood flowing in her noble and elegant body is actually more poisonous than the juice of the poppy. Why did she do such a thing?Just because he didn't want Fu Hongxue to touch other women? It had been less than half a day since she met Fu Hongxue, why did she have such crazy jealousy? How can someone who has no love be jealous?How can there be love between people who have only met each other for half a day? Fu Hongxue stood up slowly, walked over slowly, and pushed the door gently.Nor would he be surprised if the door had been locked from the outside, if it had been cast iron.He was prepared in his heart.No matter what the situation is, no matter what happens, he is ready to bear it. Unexpectedly, with a light push, the door opened.There was no one outside the door, and there was no one in the long corridor, only the monotonous and short sound of drawing the sword continued. He walked forward in the direction from which the voice came from.The corridor was long and winding, and the distance between each room was very far. He didn't know how many twists and turns before he saw a door.It was quiet inside the door, there was no sound of people, nor the sound of swords being drawn. He still opened the door and walked in.He went back to the room he just walked out of, and Zhuo Yuzhen, who was lying in a pool of blood, was gone. The room was still quiet. Although there was one person missing, there was an extra table of food. It's time for dinner.Six very delicate dishes, still hot, a plate of steamed buns with bamboo joints, a pot of round-grained rice, and a vat of unopened wine. He really needed a drink now, but he went out again. The same corridor, the same silence, but his way of walking is different.He used to walk slowly, but now he walks faster; he used to walk to the right, but now he walks to the left. After going through an unknown number of turns, he saw another door, inside which was silent.The door here is still exactly the same, but when he walked out just now, he didn't close the door, but the door was closed. He pushed open the door and walked in.He has repeatedly told himself that he must hold his breath and calm down.But it was still hard for him to go through this door, for he saw the table again, and he went into the room from which he had just come.The dishes were still hot, but they seemed hotter than before. Under the wine tank, there was a short note, the handwriting was very delicate, it was a woman's handwriting! "The bright moon has no heart, so why look for the moon? A small drink can sleep soundly, so why not drink alone. " Fu Hongxue sat down.He must force himself to sit down, because he has found that no matter how he walks, the result is the same, he will still walk back here, and he will still see this table of meals that never seem to be cold. He also wanted to force himself to eat a little, but when he picked up the chopsticks, he realized something was wrong.Of the six dishes he saw just now, there was a dish of squirrel yellow croaker and another dish of sweet and sour pork ribs. Although he only glanced at it, he remembered it clearly. He was always very sensitive to the sour taste of vinegar, but now these six dishes But it was all vegetarian, and a pot full of japonica rice turned into a pot of japonica rice porridge. He finally realized that this was not the room he just walked out of.Every room here not only has the same door, but also the furniture inside is exactly the same, even he himself can't tell whether he lived in this room or the one just now? The bedding on the bed was messy, apparently someone had already slept there.Was it him or someone else who slept on this bed just now?If not him, then who? What kind of people live in this mysterious and strange place?
