The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, it is me who turns back

36.

After Gu Zhizhou finished speaking, he was no longer polite, and his body shook violently.

Fu Ziqiu felt what he wanted, relaxed his vigilance, and was bounced away by Gu Zhizhou.

Gu Zhizhou tucked up his clothes indiscriminately, and walked away. The scattered ornaments on the ground were scattered by the two of them. He kicked all the way, his face was red and white, and the soles of his feet seemed to have stepped on cotton, hollow and floating.

Then he heard Fu Ziqiu shout from behind: "What if I said I still like you!"

Gu Zhizhou stopped for half a step, and several voices flashed through his mind in an instant——

"That Negative Xuejun, you and him..."

"I have nothing to do with him."

"I know you know it well, not to mention Jiuge is still waiting for you to go back..."

So what is liking now?guilt?pity?Or are you unwilling to miss what you have missed?

Gu Zhizhou walked away without stopping, and said almost cold-bloodedly: "You should give up your heart."

If Fu Ziqiu were to make a comparison, between "I'm not that interested in you" and "You should give up on that", he still thinks the former is more lethal.

After all, he has given up thinking for a hundred years, and the renewed hope is not enough to light the candle that has been extinguished long ago.Compared with Gu Zhizhou 100 years ago, the current him has long lost the decisive confidence he had in the past, and even said harsh words as if to cover up.

Fu Ziqiu got up to chase, but he couldn't see the mess under his feet. He tripped over the candlestick and fell to the ground.The broken porcelain was stuck on his body, and the wound was bleeding and healed quickly. He seemed to see Gu Zhizhou's indelible scar. How painful it must be to leave such a deep mark, and how much he must like it to use such a scar to engrave.

At this point, Fu Ziqiu felt that for the rest of his life, as long as he thought about it, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

"This stubborn bastard..." Fu Ziqiu propped up his upper body, the man had already walked away, the slight pain made him extremely gloomy, and finally he couldn't help complaining that it was not the right time for him to be blind: "What a fucking burden."

He supported his knees and wanted to stand up, the spine on his back was bent into a graceful arc because of this movement, looking extremely fragile.Suddenly, Fu Ziqiu was hit by something, and the shoulder blades that had just straightened suddenly sank, and a sharp colic broke out in the back of his heart.

"Well……"

An unexpected cry of pain escaped from his lips, Fu Ziqiu's back collapsed, his knee hit the ground heavily, and layers of stone patterns were kicked up.Immediately afterwards, the bloody ghost gauze gradually spread over the whole body, and the fiery red acacia was reflected on the forehead, flickering flickeringly.

Fu Ziqiu covered his eyes uncomfortably, the waves of stinging pain almost made him feel that someone was poking his eyes with a needle.

Then, a huge force penetrated into Fu Ziqiu's body, grabbed his soul and dragged it out.

Fu Ziqiu rarely felt this powerless feeling, as if he could do nothing but watch his soul leave his body.He didn't even have time to think about how to deal with it, and his soul suddenly fell into a void.

As soon as the pain in his body lightened, Fu Ziqiu fell to the ground. The moment his feet stepped on the ground, he found that he could see with his eyes.

In the purged palace, the brick walls made of creamy white jade are full of coldness.

The path paved with bluestone slabs extends to the yard, a stone table, two low stools, and the back of a man is outlined in the hazy fog.

Fu Ziqiu was in a daze, vaguely feeling that this figure looked familiar.

The man dropped a piece of snow-colored satin, and stroked the black iron long sword in his hand with his fingertips.

The body of the sword is not smooth, with deep and shallow engravings of complicated patterns, but the sword is slightly cold and shimmering, presumably it is a magical weapon that has been unsheathed and sealed its throat.It has been soaked in too much blood, and the blood rust that cannot be washed has long been buried in the tank.

The man wiped it a few times and then gave up. He sighed with some regret, and instead, the untimely emotion sprang up. After he caught a glimpse of the acacia tree blooming at some time from the corner of his eye, it spread wildly.

He put away his sword as if he couldn't sit still, and for the first time in his life, he forgot about stepping and walking, and the rustling of his steps caused a gust of wind and waves.

Fu Ziqiu noticed something strange here, the scenery was illusory, the people were vague, like a dream, he couldn't help following.

The man pushed open a door, and the light veil and curtain matched each other, and the figure lying on the bed was blurred while shaking.

The gauze curtain was brushed aside, and the fiery red sleeves ran into her eyes without hindrance.

Fu Ziqiu tried his best to see the man's appearance clearly, but his footsteps were blocked by an unknown force, so he could only stand in front of the door and glimpse the swaying veil.

The man sat down beside the bed with his back on his back. He was dressed in brocade clothes rolled with gold threads, and his long hair was tied with gold satin. Just looking at his clothes, he showed honor and luxury everywhere.

The man seemed to be looking at the person on the bed all the time, remained silent for a while, then stretched out a finger as if making up his mind, and lightly tapped on the man's brow, a multicolored divine light poured out, and Fu Ziqiu felt his forehead suddenly burn.

After a while, the man withdrew his hand restrainedly, as if his upbringing prevented him from making other movements. The most daring thing was probably the unscrupulous staring at this moment.At the end, he continued his unfinished sigh outside the door, and whispered helplessly: "Acacia flowering has not yet arrived, but I don't have much time to wait. In this life, I missed the appointment first. If there is an afterlife..."

As if telling an absurd joke, the man shook his head and chuckled lightly: "Forget it, you're going to get mad at me, it's best to just hate me to the bone, and don't think about it anymore."

His voice is gentle and ethereal, clear and dignified, like a sweet spring soaking into the heart, distant and vague.

The man stood up, Fu Ziqiu moved, and only had time to see a soft silhouette, and the scene suddenly shattered like a mirror.The scene in front of him quickly reversed, light and dark intertwined, the colors were separated, and Fu Ziqiu landed on the ground again.

Under nine days, the weak water ends.

On the dark ground, a large amount of blood-colored spells can be seen faintly.

Fu Ziqiu was trapped in the thick black fog, and he could only see three feet.But just now the man stopped three feet away from him, still with his back facing him.

The man jumped up flat and landed on the top of the spell. The black iron sword around his waist unsheathed itself and stood opposite him.

Fu Ziqiu heard him say——

"Now the world is harmonious, the world is stable, the demons have surrendered, and the re-establishment of the Three Realms and Six Paths is on the right track. Although my younger brother Long Yuan is young, his heart is good. There is no return date for my departure. This arrangement can guarantee peace for 300 years. , and help him ascend to the throne."

After finishing speaking, he stopped and thought about it, and there should be no mistakes or omissions: "From now on, you have to bear more."

A smirk came from the darkness: "Your Majesty is as reliable as ever, counting everything that can be counted, and explaining the future in such an orderly manner."

The man said generously, "Just kidding."

After a long silence, the man urged impatiently: "If you have anything else to say, get out of here."

"Hmm..." The man stroked his chin and thought for a while, "As for Qinghe..."

"I won't help you manage men."

"Qing He is reasonable and intelligent." The man said, "I have cleared the way for him, so there is nothing to worry about."

"Okay, stop talking. I will do what I promised you."

The man smiled: "Thank you."

Immediately afterwards, Fu Ziqiu saw dots of golden light radiating from the man's flesh. He folded his hands together to form a seal, and a thin layer of golden scales appeared on the exposed nape of his neck and the back of his hands.

He floated in mid-air, with a golden light illuminating spells all over the ground, mysterious and treacherous, sometimes mixed with unspeakable taboos.

The corners of the man's clothes are not fluttering, and his back is as holy as the gods and Buddhas that the world worships devoutly.

Fu Ziqiu watched helplessly as the man's blood dripped through his clothes, fell to the ground and turned into billowing magma.

Flesh and flesh lingered inch by inch, and flesh turned into white bones, turning into a thick and sealed bronze door.

The soul was annihilated, and the black iron sword fell to the ground with a clatter.

Fu Ziqiu suddenly felt an indescribable grief in his heart.

A black shadow came out from the darkness: "Sleep well, I will guard this Wanshihe Qinghaiyan, Shihe Suifeng for you."

Someone picked up the sword, cast a spell and sank it into the flames.There was only a "boom", and the magma hit a fiery wave, almost gently wrapping around the sword body, protecting it and falling into the bottomless depths.

The sword was entwined with magma, piercing the quietly whitewashed peace.

The void was shattered, Fu Ziqiu's spirit forcibly returned to his body, and the world returned to darkness.

He turned over while pressing his chest, and there was no pain anywhere in his body.

Fu Ziqiu frowned, his five fingers dug into the flesh, as if trying to pull out his heart.

"That was just..."

His thoughts were sluggish and confused, and he hadn't figured out whether what he saw just now was true or not, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

The door was open, and Fenghua, who was supposed to be in Tianhai, broke in directly: "Your Majesty, something has happened!"

Fu Ziqiu got up from the ground with the legs of the bench, his whole body seemed to be dehydrated, and his face turned pale again.He was so angry that he raised his head exhaustedly, and pointed in the direction of the person coming: "Gu Zhizhou is not here, what happened?"

Fenghua stepped into the door, first stepped on a wooden comb, and then saw a mess in the room, before he could be surprised, Fu Ziqiu uttered a sound, this time he was frightened: "Senior Brother Fu Fu Fu Fu!"

His Senior Brother Fu was really in poor condition, he waved his hand and said weakly, "Come here and help me."

Fenghua was arranged by Gu Zhizhou to go to Tianhai to help. He wanted to run into Fu Ziqiu there, but he didn't expect this dragon to see the beginning and the end, so he didn't meet him.He didn't forget the difficult past between his lord and Senior Brother Fu. At the beginning, it was agreed that they would never have any contact with each other. Why did Senior Brother Fu come back in a blink of an eye?

He remembered Gu Zhizhou's violent temper that could move his hands but not speak, he looked at the one lying in the room, and the one standing in front of him, thinking, oh, maybe he just hit him.

Strictly speaking, this is true.

Fenghua scoured the scum and crumbs to catch people, and after walking a few steps, he realized that something was wrong: "Senior Brother Fu? What's wrong with your eyes!" He had a very rich imagination: "It can't be that the lord beat you!"

Fu Ziqiu entered the courtyard, and the sun shone, and he felt better.He knew that Fenghua was sent to Tianhai by Gu Zhizhou, so he asked, "Has something happened to Tianhai?"

"Oh! That's right!" Feng Hua almost jumped up: "Dragon Palace has been preliminarily cleaned up, and Sea Dragon King found that there is a small pool of 'Crouching Dragon Tears', I have to tell my lord immediately!"

Just as Fenghua finished speaking, a crow made of black mist suddenly flew over from Wuyue Pavilion.

Thinking that the crow's footsteps were not as fast as Fenghua's, it croaked twice and spit out a ball of paper.

Fu Ziqiu threw the note to Fenghua: "What did you write?"

"It's General Shangya Xifeng, and it's the same thing I told you just now."

Crouching Dragon's Tears is also called Longquan. It will only be produced when the longan returns to its place. It is found in the underground palace, and it is also in stock at the Sea Dragon King.

Gu Zhizhou was right, the bones of the emperor, the tears of the crouching dragon, what's the use of these?

"Go and tell Gu Zhizhou that I will go to Tianhai."

Fu Ziqiu hooked his fingers, and the crow landed on his shoulder, and then the breeze picked up, and a wisp of black mist led him away.

·

At the same time, the gate of Jinlang Hall was pushed open by several people, and several hurried disciples rushed in: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not good!"

Gu Zhizhou was in a state of distraught, the book in his hand was upside down and he didn't know it: "Why are you in such a hurry? You didn't even knock on the door when you entered the hall, the rules were eaten by dogs?"

The disciple could no longer care about others, and dragged Gu Zhizhou from his seat rebelliously: "Your Majesty, something happened to Yulian Peak!"

After listening to the disciple's report with a livid face, Gu Zhizhou unconsciously quickened his pace towards Yulian Peak.However, just halfway through, bursts of spiritual light suddenly flashed in front of him.

Qi Wu led a group of heavenly soldiers to stand in front of him, and said in a solemn voice: "The two elders of Yulian Peak, Jing Greed and Jing Chou, were killed. Someone witnessed the murder process. Mr. Xue Xue, come with me."

·

"How many times do I have to say it? I didn't kill people."

Gu Zhizhou was sitting on the chair, his left and right hands were bound by a two-finger-long ribbon. The ribbon was extremely thin, moon-white, with a faint aura, and it was called the Immortal Binding Rope.

"Mr. Negative Xue, since you have entered the Disciplinary Department, you'd better tell the truth. Our famous relatives here don't recognize you. As long as you come in, you don't care about your rank. It's impossible not to spit out something."

Sitting opposite Gu Zhizhou was Gao Xun, the head of the Disciplinary Department. He was dressed in military uniform, holding a knife in his left hand and a pen in his right. He seemed to speak politely, but in fact his eyes were slightly slanted and his jaw was raised slightly. No matter how he looked, he looked very arrogant.

Gao Xun has always been defiant, relying on his status as the head of the Disciplinary Department to be domineering, and his meanness is comparable to that of Gu Zhizhou.It stands to reason that the two of them have similar tempers, so if they don't want to be sympathetic to each other, they can be regarded as able to talk no matter what.They don't like it, they trip each other overtly and secretly, and it's not pleasing to anyone.

This is good, let this bad guy catch a chance.

Gu Zhizhou couldn't help laughing: "I don't know anything, what do you want me to vomit? Or just tell me, you want to hear what I say, and I'll just say it."

"Mr. Negative Xue, let's be smart and don't speak in secret. You and I are old acquaintances, so I don't need to target you at this time, right? Let's just say that the witness who witnessed the dispute between you and the elders of Yulian Peak yesterday, then I didn't find them, they were all from your own people in Jianmen. And the elders of Yulian Peak who saw your murder with their own eyes, they are so old, they will not wrong you for nothing, right?"

Gu Zhizhou snorted coldly: "You also said that they are old, who knows if they are old-eyed and misjudged the wrong person? When they see the back, they say it's me. Jianmen is much more similar to me."

"Indeed, it's not impossible. That's why I'm questioning you in such a friendly manner now. If the evidence is convincing, everything is certain, and this step can be avoided. We will meet directly at Xingtianmen."

"Come on," Gu Zhizhou scolded lightly: "Now that the wind is heard outside, the people rushing to step on my foot are probably surrounded by Nine Heavens Cloud Palace. You, let's count as the first three. We The reason why I didn't meet at Xingtianmen, but just sat here talking nonsense, is because if I, Gu Zhizhou, want to teach people a lesson, I will never make a move behind my back, and if I really want to make a move, I won't be so stupid as to leave a personal certificate."

Gao Xun shrugged his shoulders, noncommittal: "Although that is the case, there is always an emergency. What's more, from last night to this morning, you said that you were alone in the room without witnesses. The first point of our Disciplinary Department: "It's better to kill [-] by mistake than to let go of one." Negative Xuejun, you should think about whether there is anything you can prove yourself, otherwise even the Emperor of Heaven can't protect you here."

"you……"

Gao Xun blinked, and said word by word: "I also ask Nexus Lord to think carefully."

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the interrogation room was knocked open.Tian Bing came in and whispered something to Gao Xun. The latter's face darkened, and he smiled immediately: "It seems that Lord Negative Snow is not as isolated and helpless in Jiuchongtian as in the legend."

Before Gu Zhizhou understood what Gao Xun meant, he saw Qi Wu striding in with two subordinates.

As soon as he came, Gao Xun consciously got up and gave up his seat: "Mr. Huairou, what's the wind today? You actually came to the Disciplinary Department in person?"

Qi Wu didn't even look at him, he just said: "The Emperor of Heaven ordered me to judge the case of Mr. Xue Xue. Now I want to ask questions, and the idlers will leave."

Gao Xun glared, and reluctantly took the order to go out.

Gu Zhizhou tilted his upper body slightly, put his hands on the table: "What's going on now?"

"The two elders in Yulian Peak, Jingchou and Jingtan, were killed on the spot by someone cutting their throats with a sword. I have personally inspected the corpses. Except for this wound, there are no obvious injuries on the whole body. It stands to reason that the two of them It is impossible for someone to let someone slaughter him unaware of his cultivation, but there was no trace of a fight left at the scene, and there were people who witnessed the whole murderous process."

"Who?"

"Elder Jing Chen, he claimed to have seen you kill Jing Sorrow and Jing Tan with his own eyes. According to what he said, last night they were on duty for Jing Sorrow and Jing Greed. Today he went to take turns at [-] o'clock today. He didn't expect to see you holding a small knife when he arrived at the mountain pass. He is attacking, and they have no way to fight back after killing them cleanly. He is worried that you will silence him if he speaks out, so he will report to Jiuchongtian after you leave." Qi Wudao: "But the good news is that he just saw See the back of the perpetrator. The man is about the same size as you, wearing the costume of a sword master, wearing a jade crown on his head, and the most important thing is the Xiaohe he is holding, so Jing Chen concluded that it is you."

Gu Zhizhou's eyes darkened: "What a joke, someone actually planted it on me."

"In addition to the fact that you had a quarrel with them outside the sword gate yesterday, and there was a foot restraint order issued by you yourself, this Jingchen even insisted that you were going to take revenge with a grudge in your heart. But you don't have to worry too much, the murderer Since a person can take the lives of two people, Jingchoujinggreed, with one move, it means that his martial arts are not inferior to yours. With such a cultivation level, it is impossible not to notice that there is a third person present. He chose this time to kill people, and even left a living witness to testify for fear Others don't know that you did it. It's just your usual style... When this incident happened, there were many crusaders. Fortunately, the Emperor of Heaven was aware of the details and felt a lot of doubts. He was afraid that you would be wronged, so he specially asked me to investigate it personally. But you After all, there are suspicions, and the Disciplinary Department will not be able to get out for a while."

Gu Zhizhou nodded: "Thank the Heavenly Emperor for me, but this happened strangely. I just had an argument with them the day before yesterday, and the person died the next day. The perpetrator deliberately pretended to be me to kill. Outside the door, apart from those old men from Yulian Peak, there are only me and Fu Ziqiu, who would do this?"

Qi Wu obviously paused.

Gu Zhizhou saw what he meant: "You want to say it's Fu Ziqiu again?"

"I don't doubt him for no reason, but all these times are related to Lord Mozun, Mr. Xue Xue, do you really have no doubts at all?"

Gu Zhizhou suddenly sat up straight: "I was brought here by you, does Fu Ziqiu know?"

The corner of Qi Wu's mouth twitched, and he unhurriedly took out a piece of paper from his cuff and handed it to him: "Fenghua, a disciple of Jianmen, asked me to bring this to you, and he also asked me to send a message that Taoist Fu left beforehand. "

Gu Zhizhou opened the paper, revealing the contents. The paper was sealed with Lingji's unique technique. He squeezed to break the spell, and the words floated faintly, and then he froze.

Qi Wu knocked on the table: "Mr. Negative Xue, do you think the current direction looks like Lord Mozun fled in fear of crime after murdering and planting?"

Gu Zhizhou pointed the paper up to Qi Wu: "An accident happened to Tianhai."

I saw that it was written on the paper——

"Tianhai lacks a crouching dragon's tears."

Qi Wu didn't quite understand: "What do you mean? Crouching Dragon's Tears? Isn't that Longquan? What will happen if it is missing?"

Gu Zhizhou's face was calm: "Do you still remember that Chen Kuang lost a spine?"

Qi Wu looked up at him suddenly: "You mean, these two things were done by one person?"

"A Tianzi bone, a crouching dragon's tears, there must be a relationship between them, and there must be some uses that we don't know."

"I'll check."

Gu Zhizhou said seriously: "I still say the same thing, there may be more than one ghost in our Heavenly Clan. This matter cannot be investigated clearly. I don't trust many people in the Heavenly Realm. You must keep it secret."

Qi Wu nodded: "I understand."

Gu Zhizhou pondered for a moment, and then said: "Also, let's first interrogate all the people who were present during my quarrel that day. Get me a pen and ink, and I'll make a list for you, and you can find people according to this." After he finished speaking, he paused, and then asked: "Is Lian Sheng also imprisoned in the Disciplinary Department?"

"Yes, his interrogation is not over yet, Gao Xun's point is that he can pry some words out."

Gu Zhizhou lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "They are unreliable here, you need to recruit more people from Yingwuzhou, and you must keep an eye on this Lian Sheng. You must pay close attention to the investigation of the inner ghost, I always feel that they will make another move soon .”
