ecstasy

This time, Jinji was silent about his answer.

"Wang, but your state today is not in the state of hunting."

He expressed his doubts honestly.Although he has already cultivated human form and possessed the great wisdom of spirit beasts, his vision of seeing things still reveals the aura and calmness of the world that does not belong to the world and does not belong to human beings.

Gu Tingshuang likes such calmness, so he likes the wolves of Lingshan.People in the world always say that wolves are cunning, thinking that they are afraid of wisdom and strategies that can rival humans, but white wolves have always been upright, do not do unrighteous things, and always act with the glory of the white wolf gods as the center.

He loathes humans, and he also loathes himself as a human being.

But with the arrival of Ning Shiting, everything changed.

It's snowing and quiet tonight.Lingshan was unexpectedly quiet.

Gu Tingshuang once again set foot in the Prince's Mansion, which he had not visited for many days.

During the snowstorm, part of the Shizi Mansion collapsed due to years of disrepair. During the day, some people continued to repair and rush to work, but at night they withdrew.

This matter should also be arranged by Ning Shiting, he knows that he is nostalgic, and still remembers the memories carried in this house - the only youthful time he ever lit up, so all the damaged and sunken places are used intact The previous style could not be repaired, and some places were deliberately made old after reinforcement, trying to be exactly the same as the original.

He silently looked at everything around him.

If no one lives there, there will be no lights on.

His eyesight is still not perfect, he can't see clearly without lights at night, the wheelchair stumbles and bumps for a long time, it is obviously the same, there is no major change in any place - this is the place where he grew up for 15 years, but he Like a first time visit, like a moth trapped in a lamp, you can't find your way and run into walls repeatedly.

Today he didn't call the little wolf to lead the way.

Jinji had been with him longer than any other wolf, and he was more familiar with Gu Tingshuang's temperament than any other wolf.

He just stood silently behind him, guarding him. He didn't listen to Gu Shuang's orders, and he would not take the liberty to help him push the wheelchair, because he knew that this would be an offense to the wolf.

Gu Tingshuang groped in the dark and found that the wheelchair was stuck in a crack in the ground.He suppressed the restlessness in his heart and snatched the spiritual consciousness of a sacred tree beside him.

The moment the order was issued, the ancient sacred tree stretched its branches, and there was a vibration from the ground.Thick vines grew rapidly, and after widening the gap, gently sent out the stuck wheelchair, allowing Gu Tingshuang to smoothly take over the control of the wheelchair again.

He continued walking, crossed the main hall, and came to the side courtyard where he used to practice.The door was pushed open with a creak, and there were still traces of being burned on both sides.

Behind is the boundary of Lingshan.

Jinji knew where he was going, the moment he stepped through the back hall door, the human form dissipated like smoke and turned into a big wolf again.It pricked up its ears and bared its fangs, watching out for everything beside Gu Tingshuang.

It was also at this time that Gu Tingshuang finally stretched out his hand and asked him to come over and sniff: "Go find other people, go and see your wife and children."

The white wolf has always had a fixed residence in Lingshan. During this snowstorm, more than half of the living creatures in Lingshan died, and many places suitable for living have collapsed.The remaining creatures fought and killed each other, and the place known only to the white wolf, protected by the gods, was reserved for the pups and she-wolves of their pack.

The rest of the male wolves came together and defected to Gu Tingshuang.In the next few days, some wolves also found it. Compared with the current ice and snow in Lingshan, the conditions in Qingwang Mansion seem to be better. They will secretly bring braziers and charcoal back to Lingshan to keep the wolf pups warm.

Ning Shiting knew about such behavior, but he was rejected when he asked Gu Tingshuang whether he wanted to take over the rest of the wolves.

Gu Tingshuang disagreed, and Ning Shiting would not mention it again, but the supply of beasts and fresh prey suddenly more than doubled, and the same was true for charcoal fire and fur.

If there is a wolf who understands and will take it back, Gu Tingshuang will just turn a blind eye and close one eye, and let it be as if he doesn't know.

The pack of wolves has always had a fixed residence and a place to live in groups. The edge of the cliff on the magma sea is said to be the residence of the White Wolf God King thousands of years ago.

This is also the only absolutely safe place in Lingshan after the catastrophe.

This cave is more suitable as a temple for the pack of wolves, and there are caves inside.This place is the only place in Lingshan where the five auras of gold, fire, water, wood, and gold meet and converge to achieve balance. Above is the eternal night moonlight, and below is the sea of ​​burning lava.The land around here is the heaven and earth left over from the creation of the world, half of which is the sky and half of the earth. When people step on it, they feel like they are facing the sky and looking down at the ground.

Also because there is extreme sky magma here, the heat waves are raging all the time, the harm of the snow demon cannot reach here, and the attributes of the snow demon itself are also doomed, it will instinctively fear this kind of sky fire.

This is considered to be one of the few places in Jiuzhou that still has a deep aura left.

However, Gu Tingshuang's aura here is useless, his spiritual root has been crippled, and the only thing that can help him cultivate now is the soul-returning incense prepared by Ning Shiting.

The reason why he came here is of course, just to check on the rest of his clan.

The wheelchair climbed slowly, the slope was extremely high, and the resistance was extremely high. Gu Tingshuang's mortal body soon became numb in his arms and sweat broke out in his palms.

But his movements didn't stop at all, and even his expression didn't change.

When he climbed to the edge of the cliff, he saw a large piece of silvery white - silvery white all over the mountains and plains, wolves, big or small, all squatting respectfully in rows, waiting for his coming and inspection.

The female wolf walked up to him with the newborn cub in her mouth, Gu Tingshuang took it and hugged it, and put a finger on the newborn cub's forehead to express his blessing.This kind of glory will come again to every little wolf when he grows up—every little wolf will challenge the head wolf once on the day of adulthood.

If he succeeds, he will replace the head wolf and become the leader of the new generation of white wolves.

Those who fail will also be recognized by the tribe and blessed by the king because of their courage and unyielding spirit.

Only those wolves who dare not stand up and flee from the battle will be cast aside and exiled by the whole group and become lone wolves, which is also the origin of thin wolves.

Gu Tingshuang looked at the silver and white mountains and plains, looked at the golden eyes dotted like fireflies, temporarily put aside the worries in his heart, and asked loudly: "Who is there today?"

He looks idle, but his eyes are sharp and bright, with majesty and leadership qualities that make people want to surrender involuntarily.

He had noticed early in the morning that there was a just-adult white wolf above the cave, watching him cautiously while hibernating.

This is a male wolf, who was supposed to stay at Prince Qing's mansion at the foot of the mountain, but he followed him all the way today, and he also wanted to have a decisive battle with Gu Tingshuang.

This wolf has excellent pedigree. If you rank it according to human kinship, it can be regarded as the little wolf's cousin - but it has grown into a majestic big wolf, but the little wolf is still rolling around at Ning Shiting's feet. That's all.

Its fur is smooth and silver, and its golden eyes are like glass and amber. It was born at the beginning of the dim moonlight, and was named Yuehui by Ning Shiting.

The moment he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and turned the wheelchair slightly, and at the same time, Moonlight stepped out from the shadow on the cave, and rushed towards him with a low growl—it ​​happened to hit the gap where he retreated In the middle, I was caught off guard and rushed into the air, and then rolled.

All the wolves gathered gradually to watch this challenge.

One miss, and this is just the beginning.

Yuehui could hold her breath, and Gu Tingshuang could hold her breath even more.Although Yuehui had tried his best to lie dormant, Gu Tingshuang's murderous breathing sound was still clearly caught in his mind, and he accurately guessed its thoughts.

Under the moonlight, a man and a wolf are such a disparity that it makes one's scalp tingle, but Gu Tingshuang has become accustomed to such a strange scene.

For him, fighting against humans is similar to fighting against wolves.

Hide your own thoughts, learn to deal with the enemy, aim at the enemy's empty door, and avoid the opponent's trap...

For some reason, a sentence sounded in my mind, it was this afternoon, and the mermaid's gentle voice rang in my ears: "If your Highness can knock me out again..."

He underestimated Ning Shiting.

Gu Tingshuang's skills have never been bad, but this afternoon, why was Ning Shiting aware of it, and thus failed to succeed?

He raised his chin slightly.

He didn't wear much clothes today, young people are not afraid of the cold, he stuffed all the cloak, scarf and hand warmer that Ning Shiting prepared for him, and he came up wearing a single shirt, looking so fragile in the ice and snow.

In the eyes of wolves, humans are vulnerable. Humans are not protected by thick fur, sharp claws, and the power to smash half a mountain. A white wolf bites off a person's neck, just like a person bites open a large egg. Juice like cherries.

Gu Tingshuang looked at Yuehui calmly, without any movement.

He didn't even appear to have come up with a weapon, empty-handed.At this moment, after slightly lifting the chin, the neck and throat are wide open, revealing the white neck, and the arc of the Adam's apple is smooth and tight.

He is such a weak and different kind of king, the young wolf king.

At this moment, the self-confidence in Yue Hui's heart gained the upper hand, and it roared and launched another offensive - without any maneuvers, it directly rushed over!

The violent attack froze in mid-air, and gradually slowed down, as if it had broken into a piece of viscous water.At this moment, the strong wind blew up, and the mountain forest behind Gu Tingshuang suddenly split into two groups out of thin air, splitting into a canyon hundreds of miles deep!

The gust of wind blew along this gap, and the sea of ​​flames under the cliff suddenly submerged, dyeing half of the sky red, which lasted for a long time.In the turbulent air current, Gu Tingshuang's eyes were filled with a faint golden light.

He stood up, and before the strong wind arrived, he had already drawn out the long sword hidden in the axis of the wheelchair, and plunged it into the ground suddenly. His whole body was supported by this force, as solid as a sculpture.At the same time, the knife under the right wrist guard has also been unsheathed, and Yuehui meets his gaze, feeling that his fighting spirit is rapidly fading in the headwind that makes it difficult to move, and his consciousness is being suppressed by Gu Tingshuang. take over.

For the wolves, this is a miracle, an irresistible order, just as they cannot reverse every landslide, every snowstorm.But they were still able to find an opportunity to survive in the crevice of the landslide.

This is a battle, not an ordinary order, so Yuehui fiercely resisted, exerting all the killing will in his body, hitting against the headwind, he must throw Gu Tingshuang to the ground, and Gu Tingshuang stood firmly, The moment it landed uncontrollably, the dagger had already strangled his throat.

Then the wind died down and everything was calm.

Moonlight failed.

Its ears drooped, and Gu Tingshuang let go of the dagger: "You've done a good job." He reached out and patted its head again.

Yuehui let out a low whimper, accepted his touch obediently, and flicked her big tail again.

None of them felt that it was a strange thing for Gu Tingshuang to stand up now.Gu Tingshuang's long sleeves were hanging down to the ground, and her veined hands were hidden under the black robe.

He supported the sword with one hand, propping up his whole body, and his back had already started to ache violently.

Jin Jibei brought back the wheelchair that was blown away in the strong wind, and Gu Tingshuang just sat back.

After he made a gesture, the wolves slowly dispersed.

Gu Tingshuang had no expression on his face, even though he could no longer bend his left hand normally.

"The king didn't enter the temple, why? Didn't he recognize us?" Gold Back turned into a human again, standing obediently beside him, and asked.

Gu Tingshuang glanced at the deep ancient cave and said, "It's not my place."

"You are the reincarnation of the White Wolf God, and it is your territory. Or do you still think that what I said is wrong, so you refuse to accept this fact?"

Jinji said, "When we defected to you and asked you to lead our group, you were the same as now. You were only willing to show miracles under the moonlight, but refused to look up at the moon. In the moon is the shadow of the White Wolf God." .”

He spoke like a song, or some old, long-lost ballad.

Gu Tingshuang said: "I am who I am, regardless of reincarnation and the afterlife, and I have no god to believe in. The consciousness of the wolf should be like this. Although the white wolf god has provided you with protection for thousands of years, it is not mine, and it is not mine. I didn’t give it to you. I am a mortal body, and I was also born of a mortal, and I met you here only because of fate and got your company, that’s all.”

Jin Ji said: "But in our hearts, you are God. In your eyes, there is something we have been looking for for thousands of years, and it is the golden spiritual fire that will not be extinguished. This is the blood inheritance of our White Wolf God Clan for thousands of years."

Gu Tingshuang said: "You don't have to ask me for this kind of thing. The strong are respected. One day I will grow old and retire, or die under the life of the world. Our ethnic group will survive and develop as usual .”

Jin Ji hesitated to speak, but his expression was full of bewilderment.

These white wolves following him was something that Gu Tingshuang didn't quite understand.

He is the root of the sky, can cultivate spiritual consciousness, and can understand the language of white wolves. All these seem to be born for him to control the wolves of Lingshan, but he doesn't want to have anything to do with the legend of the ancient white wolf god.

"Gu Tingshuang is Gu Tingshuang, the name in this world is not important, but I am me... Do whatever you want."

The sound of the wind behind him slowly receded, and the huge red waves rising from the ocean of magma also receded wave after wave.

When Jin Ji wanted to say something, Gu Tingshuang suddenly pressed his index finger to his lips and made a hissing gesture.

Jinji watched his movements, and turned back as he pushed the wheelchair.

The crimson fire wave fell, like a tide receding, from top to bottom, everything on the other side of the cliff slowly reappeared in front of my eyes from top to bottom.

It’s just different from the situation just now, now a lot of fog suddenly appeared on the opposite bank, as if a heavy rain fell during the windy period, the rain and fire merged into water vapor, forming a thick fog, looking from a distance, the thick fog There seems to be something unknown, dark and deep surging in it.

Gu Tingshuang's eyes became sharper and sharper, she stared quietly at the black shadow, and then suddenly grabbed the handle of the wheelchair!

The moment the fog was blown away by the wind, he met the eyes of someone on the other side.

They were a pair of scarlet eyes without any aura or thoughts, but the moment Gu Tingshuang looked over, it seemed as if he saw himself!
