different paths

After the two of them crossed the river, they saw a long and narrow mountain path——

The few people who crossed the river first, Mei Dulin, Luo Shijie, Suo Luzheng, Yan Qixiang, Qiu Wanzhan and a group of beggar gang disciples, seemed to have discussed it, and they all stopped and waited for their arrival.

"Everyone, this is..." Jia Wujue asked.

"Brothers come here, although they have important things to do, but coincidentally, they have the same purpose," Qiu Wanzhan smiled and said, "It is to help Brother Jia and Brother Yue."

"You——" Hearing these words, Yue Chentan, who originally cherished words like gold, opened his mouth with a complicated expression.

"Brother Yue, you don't need to talk too much." Qiu Wanzhan cut off his words, and said with a hearty smile, "We all know that Brother Yue is not good at eloquence, so there is no need to say anything superfluous. Enough wine!"

Hearing the words, Jia Wuju was very grateful and said: "I don't want to thank you for your kindness. It's just that Brother Qiu can drink. What about Brother Mei, Brother Luo, Brother Yan, and Master Suolu?"

"Repay the kindness of Zhao Xue." Mei Dulin only said eight words lightly.

"You can't repay the grace of saving your life." Suo Luzheng also gave eight words in a rhythmic tone.

"When a friend is in trouble, he should take action." Luo Ten Commandments said calmly.

In the end, there was only one Yan Qixiang left, and he uttered two words with a smile: "Second."

Although there are not many words, their firmness and determination are everywhere.Even though the road ahead was difficult and dangerous, Jia Wujue had no intention of persuading them to stop, and said bluntly: "Since that's the case, you might as well listen to the next thing. The strange rocks in the mountain seem to be in disorder, but they are actually a well-arranged formation. Without your help , I am afraid that Shen Tan and I will have to work hard to break out of the formation."

"Oh?" Qiu Wanzhan asked with interest, "What is this formation? Could it be that one person can't break through the formation?"

"From my perspective, this array is quite similar to the eight array diagrams laid out by Kong Ming in the past." Jia Wu deceived, "The eight array diagrams repeat the eight gates, according to Dunjia Xiu, Health, Injury, Du, Scenery, Death, Surprise, and Open. Every day and every hour, it changes without reason, comparable to a hundred thousand elite soldiers." He said, pointing to the mountain in the distance, "For example, at this moment, the three auspicious gates of Kai, Xiu, and Sheng are located there, but after half an hour, that place will become Death, shock, and injury are the three evils."

Originally in the dark night, it was difficult to identify the direction, and the gate of life and death kept changing, so it was even more difficult to break through.Before crossing the river, Jia Wujue had already observed the strangeness of this formation. Originally, he and Yue Chentan planned to enter through Du Gate first, break through the holes of the formation, and then break through one by one.Although this kind of formation is infinitely changing, as long as you can find the formation eye located in each gate, the gate will stop changing after breaking through, reducing the change of the formation by a few points.Du's gate belongs to Zhongping's gate, so it is not considered dangerous. Jia Wuju's original method, although troublesome, is the safest way.Now that there are a few more helpers, the time to break the formation will be greatly shortened.

So Jia Wujue explained the possible positions of the formation eyes of each of the eight sects to everyone, except Qiu Wanzhan and a group of Beggar Sect disciples who were responsible for destroying the formation eyes of Du and Jing's two Zhongping sects. , for the rest of the array eyes, each person is responsible for one.

But even the allocation of one person to one person has also produced a lot of differences.

"Suomou goes to the gate of death." Suo Luzheng said.

"Oh?" Mei Dulin glanced at him coldly and dropped a word.

"Coincidentally, Luo is also interested in the gate of death." Luo Shijie said with a slight smile.

"Heh." Yue Chentan chuckled inexplicably when he heard the words.

Jia Wujue and Yan Qixiang looked at each other in dismay, and Jia Wujue blinked vigorously at Yan Qixiang.After a long while, Yan Qixiang shook the paper fan, coughed softly, "Yan is not picky, and there is not much difference between the door of good and bad. When the time comes, the door of good and bad is reversed, and the door of death becomes the door of life. The door has become the door of death, and there is no difference between which door is easier to break through and which door is more difficult..."

Jia Wujue hurriedly continued: "That's right, besides, whether the door is good or bad is often the opposite of how easy it is to break through the eyes of the formation. Although the Jimen is easy to do things, the eyes of the formation are therefore indestructible and very stubborn. Although the fierce door is extremely dangerous, but The eyes of the formation are often fragile and vulnerable, and can be broken in one blow."

After some words, the few people who insisted on going to the gate of death finally stopped.Jia Wuju cast lots of stones on the ground, and finally determined the door for each person according to the method of lottery.

It was Yue Chentan who drew the door of surprise and the door of death.

Seeing such a result, Jia Wuchai couldn't help but feel a sudden shock.Seeing his worried look, Yue Chentan said with a smile: "Who said just now that the evil door is dangerous but can be broken with one blow?"

"I'm just—" Jia Wukai opened his mouth to argue.

"Hush—" Yue Chentan stretched out a finger to cover his lips, stopping his words, "Don't worry, as you said, I will turn danger into blessing."

Jia Wujue looked at his calm face, and knew that he was concerned but would be chaotic, but he thought that what they had to face was not only Master Tianxuan who had been dormant for many years, but also the masters from all walks of life gathered under him. Take it easy.

Just as he was thinking wildly, he was hugged into a warm embrace, and Yue Chentan's quiet voice sounded above his head: "You and I have a promise of 'the future will last forever', how could I break my promise?"

The future is long...

With a blushing face, Jia Wujue squeezed hard into Yue Chentan's arms, and said in a low voice, "You said that, don't forget it!"

Yue Chentan kissed lightly on the top of his hair, and then solemnly said: "No promise."

You hour has passed, and Jia Wujue entered the mountain from the startled gate.Jingmen is located on the west side of the mountain, and only one steep mountain road is feasible.The mountains are dangerous and the roads are narrow and narrow. The more you go into the mountains, the more paths will grow. There are many poisonous snakes and scorpions hidden on each branch road.It took Jia Wujue less than a stick of incense to go, when suddenly there was a cloud of smoke, and the gurgling water beside him suddenly changed color, glowing with a strange and beautiful light.He held his breath and quickened his pace.

Relying on his own judgment, he chose the correct path from the snake-shaped mountain path, and finally found the eye of the formation before the transformation of the eight gates. A jagged rock.

In the depths of the valley, there are no insects or birds, only a huge rock standing alone in the center.

Of course, there was one other person, who seemed to have waited for a long time, and when he finally saw Jia Wuhai's figure, he let out a soft breath.

Jia Wujue looked at the man in brocade clothes and jade belt in front of him, with a sad look on his face, but he quickly adjusted, walked a few steps quickly, smiled familiarly and said: "Senior brother."

Gu Yiming looked at him with a smile that was not a smile: "Oh? Are you still willing to recognize me as a senior?"

Jia Wuhu paused for a moment, and then said: "...One day as a senior, and a lifetime as a senior."

Gu Yiming snorted, turned his back and walked a few steps: "Although you say that, you don't think so in your heart at all. Now in your eyes and heart, you are pretending to be someone else, so where is the place for a master? "

Jia Wuhai stared at his back, and gradually clenched his hands.In the past, I only thought that this senior brother not only had an outstanding appearance, but also had an unmatched demeanor.Now I finally understand that the person in front of me is not only a little more romantic than others, but also a little more repulsive.

The distance between the two of them was only a few steps, which still made him feel unreachable.

"Why don't you talk anymore? This is not like you." Gu Yiming turned around, his gaze fell on Jia Wukai's face without blinking.

Jia Wujue suddenly felt tired, how did the senior with whom he disguised himself and talked about everything turned into what he is now.He closed his eyes, then resolutely looked directly into Gu Yiming's eyes and said, "Why did senior brother kill me?"

Gu Yiming raised his eyebrows, Jia Wujue's question seemed to surprise him, and seemed to be within his expectation, so he asked without answering, "Oh? Why can't I understand this?"

"The person on Hanzhan Cliff dressed as the old broom is you, right?" Jia Wuju said in a deep voice, "Even if senior brother doesn't want to admit it, the smell of Longlou incense can't fool anyone."

Gu Yiming did not answer immediately, but looked at him intently for a moment, and then said with regret: "We were still discovered by Wuju." He changed the subject, "But since Wuju can detect that the person is me , how can you not realize that I have no intention of taking your life?"

In fact, Jia Wujue noticed it. He had no intention of killing that day, but he didn't say it clearly.

Gu Yiming glanced at the expression on his face, and said clearly: "It turns out that Wu Jue saw it." The corners of his lips raised slightly, "It seems that the younger brother understands me."

"No, I don't understand." Jia Wujue immediately denied, "I don't understand why senior brother wants to join Star Picking Valley even though he is a prince, and I don't understand why senior brother wants to kill me even though he loves me as a brother. I understand why the dignified prince doesn't want to help the country, but bows his head to those who are ambitious!"

He spoke urgently and quickly, all showing his anger and grief at the moment.

Gu Yiming quietly waited for him to finish speaking, then smiled, and said in a tone that would lull a child to sleep: "Little brother, let me tell you a story, okay?"

Before Jia Wucha could answer, he had already started talking.

"Everyone thinks that the children of the royal family must be well-clothed and well-fed, and enjoy all the glory and wealth, but the nine sons born by the dragon are all different. How can there be no distinction between the royal children? The birth mother is a maidservant. If the child of a favorite concubine dies at the time of birth," Gu Yiming chuckled, "you can imagine what happened after birth."

"When I was young, I was driven to the other garden outside the palace. No one cares about me all the year round. The servants of the palace can be stepped on by anyone. The blood of the royal family sounds high and precious. But if it really falls into the trap The person on the dragon chair hates and loathes him, who wouldn't want to take the opportunity to humiliate and torture him, to express the anger he has swallowed in front of these heaven's favorites all year round?"

Hearing this, Jia Wuchai's complexion changed.As an ignorant child, he couldn't imagine how to survive among the wicked servants.

"At this time, if someone says that they just need a little help from you to help you live a safe and healthy life." Gu Yiming curled up his lips and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Will you agree? "
