After being pulled up by the master

"Bangdang-"

Cao Ruoyu lifted the board that was pressing on him, and crawled out of the pit in a disheveled state.The murderous corpses that surrounded him had long disappeared. The ground was full of messy footprints, broken branches, and even a few hideous tooth marks remained on the trunk beside him.

Cao Ruoyu patted his chest with lingering fears, but it's okay, it's okay, if he survives a catastrophe, there will be future blessings.

Halfway through their journey, they were ambushed by murderous corpses. He and the second senior brother went to distract the enemy, while the third senior brother and the younger junior brother continued to lead Miss Li into the mountain.But on the way to flee for his life, he got separated from his second senior brother again, and now the barren mountains and mountains are surrounded by darkness, and he doesn't know where to go.

Cao Ruoyu took out the Nine Turns Resurrection Mirror from his arms, and took a picture of it at the lone star in the sky. The light on the mirror was weak and undamaged, so he put it back with confidence, and found the map again.

Although Shi Wei told him that this picture is not his home, but there are so many mountains and peaks here, he may not know where it is, not to mention that it was given by the old ghost master, so it must be of some use, right?

Thinking this way, Cao Ruoyu decided to turn the dead horse into a living horse doctor and headed north.

On the other side, Shi Wei took Zhang He away from the corpse and chased him. He ran all the way, not daring to catch his breath, and climbed up the hill where his hometown was.

It is said to be a home, but it is just a thatched hut, he sleeps outside, and the old man sleeps inside.In winter, the house was leaking from all directions, and he lay on the hard bed, so cold that he could barely see the sun the next day.The dead old man doesn't care about him, he spends most of the 360 ​​days a year strolling in the mountains, or going out to drink, and the father and son hardly speak a few words throughout the year.

Shi Wei suspected that he was not his own since he was a child.

Now, when he returned to this place again, the dead old man was still squatting on the big rock in front of the hut, smoking.

It was dark and people could not be seen clearly, but the pipe was glowing red, and the choking smell of tobacco wafted in the air. Shi Wei knew how much he had smoked today as soon as he smelled it, and couldn't help frowning: "Can you smoke less?" ? Will it die?"

"Yes, this is the old man I use to continue my life." Shi Gu chuckled, "You are young, so I won't let you try something new."

Shi Wei kept the word "scroll" in his mouth, but didn't say it.

Shi Gu blew out another smoke ring: "Bring a friend home, why don't you tell your father first?"

"I'm here to borrow the looming shuttle, I'll leave if I borrow it, and I won't keep it." Shi Wei's attitude was cold and firm.

Shi Gu smiled heartily: "Then you don't plan to take this place as your home?"

"Is this home? Can this be called home?" Shi Wei became angry when he heard his sloppy tone. That person is always like this. Irresponsible and unkind.

The more Shi Wei thought about it, the more angry he became, and he said coldly: "In short, lend me the weaving shuttle, next time I come back, I'll bring you some tea."

Shi Gu's pipe seemed to be extinguished, and then flashed red again. He smiled: "Since you don't take this place as your family, you don't take me as your father, why should I lend you?"

Shi Wei was stunned for a moment, his eyes sank: "Then what do you want?"

"It's very simple." Shi Gu got off the boulder, snapped his fingers, and three or four lights were lit instantly, forming a bright open space.

His old face seemed to be a little thinner, with an unshaven beard and unshaven appearance.

"What capacity did you come to ask me to borrow the weaving shuttle today?"

He asked, "As my son, or as a disciple of the Changning Sword Sect?"

He laughed, the pipe in his hand was extinguished at some point, and there was a little smoke, "If I were my son, I could give it to you now, but you have to swear that you will work hard in this mountain in the future." Practice, accept the ghost way."

Shi Wei listened, frowning slightly.

"If you come to me as a disciple of the Changning Sword Sect, then you will serve me according to the old rules. If you win me, you can ask me a condition."

Shi Wei thought to himself, it really is so.As an expedient measure, recognizing him as father will solve a lot of troubles, and when he leaves the mountain, he will never come back.

"Don't try to lie to me," Shi Gu seemed to have read his mind, "If you dare to break your promise, no matter where you go, I will catch you and bring you back."

His eyes were sharp, soaked in a chill he had never seen before, and Shi Wei was unmoved.

"I don't understand, why must it be me?" The young man was puzzled, "Why can't I choose my own path? Why do I have to cultivate the way of ghosts?"

"You were born for the way of ghosts, don't you understand?" Shi Gu hated that iron could not be made into steel, "Look at what you have learned all these years? You can't do swordsmanship, you can't do spiritual skills, you can only practice the way of ghosts , can make you really strong, do you understand?"

"I don't understand!" Shi Wei yelled after being trampled on his sore foot, "Even if I'm not as good as you, I still have my way! I don't need you to point fingers!"

"Your Tao?" Shi Gu sneered, "What is your Tao? Where is your Tao? Why can't I see it?"

Shi Wei gritted his teeth: "Dogs see people as inferior."

As soon as the words were finished, a gust of wind swept past, and the light on the ground dimmed for a moment. Shi Wei quickly drew his sword, but could barely catch Shi Gu's pipe.The other party kicked him hard on the hollow of his knee, immediately kicked him to the ground, and smashed the pipe in his hand on his head and face, making his eyes stare and ears buzzing.

"Your way? Is this your way?" Shi Gu asked sharply, "Your way can't even handle [-]% of my strength, so you kneel on the ground and get beaten?"

"No!" Seeing blood on Shi Wei's forehead, the blood flowed into his eyes, and his vision was blurred. He waved his sword in the air a few times indiscriminately, and only heard a few "Dang Clang", his tiger's mouth went numb, and Po Ye was beaten go far.

Shi Wei was beaten so badly that he rushed over to fight with others, his fists were like wind, and his tiger was full of power.He wiped the blood from his eyes, avoided the pipe, and punched the opponent's heart with a heavy fist.Shi Gu didn't say a word, "slap", gave him a slap.The fishy and salty taste filled his mouth, and Shi Weijing cried.He yelled: "Why, why! You were born and didn't raise it, and you treated me like a kitten and puppy and kept me on this mountain. What did I do wrong? I just want to live the life I want to live. Is there anything wrong with that? Am I wrong!"

"Pa", Shi Gu slapped again, Shi Wei spit out a mouthful of blood foam, and rushed over like crazy.Shi Gu grabbed his neck with one hand, "thumped", forced him to kneel down on the ground.

"Woooooooo..."

Shi Wei sobbed in a low voice, his tears splashed on the soil, scalding his self-esteem.

Shi Gu was no longer domineering, but said in a hoarse voice: "Do you understand? Chaos is about to break out. You are so weak, how can you protect yourself? Today I can lend you a weaving shuttle, but what about the future? I, the old man, will not be here in the future. Already, who are you borrowing from? In troubled times, the strong are respected. For these peace dreams you dreamed, you have to live to peace! Brat!"

"I'm very weak, but I tried my best to cultivate, and the master is willing to give me the sword." Shi Wei was choked up, and Shi Gu was still wrapping his arms around his neck, but the suppressed movement was like a strong hug.

The old man's old voice sounded from above: "When you worshiped Xue Si as your teacher, I was shaken. If you have achieved great swordsmanship in the past few years, I will not stop you. But you have not, you are not such a material at all, Do you still have time? Now that there is another turmoil in the devil city, your master and senior brothers will surely suffer a catastrophe. If they die unfortunately, what should you do? Under the nest, how can there be any eggs?"

Shi Gu was beaten until his ears were ringing, he couldn't hear clearly, he could only vaguely hear the words "big catastrophe, death". He asked, "What catastrophe?"

"Daddy knows you're not a coward."

Shi Gu patted his face, the calluses on his palm brushed against the red and swollen skin, Shi Wei gasped in pain, but the next moment, his father picked him up like a chicken.

Shi Wei's eyes widened in shock as the scene in front of him faltered.

He was thrown under the cliff by his own father.

The wind howled in my ears, and the man's face was drowned in the darkness and could no longer be seen.

Below the cliff is a mass grave.

His sword is still on it.

Shi Wei yelled heartbreakingly: "Damn old man, wait for me!"

Shi Gu seemed to have heard the curse from a distance, he smiled and said, "Okay, old man, I'll wait."

He turned around and looked at Zhang He who had been cursed with a body restraining spell. The dull young man never expected that the ghost master could restrain the three of them in an instant.

Shi Gu raised the pipe in his hand, put it in his mouth, and smashed it twice, but the red light never ignited again.He frowned and called, "Second Dog."

"Da da da--"

The mule cart appeared in front of Zhang He again, still with the words "Double Happiness" written on white lights. Huang Ergou got off the cart and stood respectfully: "Master."

"Take them to find Shen Jingyue, and ask her if she wants to weave a spirit shuttle, and just say I mean it." Shi Gu waved his hand, "You don't want to come back when you're done."

Huang Ergou looked at him and called again: "Master."

"Go quickly, the devil will find it soon, without delay." Shi Gu turned his back and staggered towards his thatched hut.Zhang He wanted to talk, wanted to ask the ins and outs, but the back was too decisive, too bleak, and too lonely, as if asking one more word was disrespect to this senior.

Shi Gu snapped his fingers, and Zhang He's banning spell was released.

Before getting into the car, the young man suddenly asked loudly: "Old ghost master, is there anything you need me to convey to third senior brother?"

Shi Gu lit his pipe again, took a puff, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring: "Nothing, just go away."

Zhang He silently picked up Li Xian and sent him to the car.

Huang Ergou was about to raise his whip when he poked his head out again and said loudly, "Senior, take care!"

Shi Gu paused his smoking hand, and the curling smoke ring was blown away by the wind.

Cao Ruoyu walked for most of the night, and finally found the small pavilion at dawn. He looked at the mountain that was at least half as high, and sighed: "It would be great if I could hold a sword."

He is exhausted.

The sky was turning pale, and it would be dawn soon.

If he wasted a little more time, it would be more difficult for him to find his seniors and juniors. He had to rush to meet them as soon as possible.

Cao Ruoyu gritted his teeth and continued to walk up.Behind the pavilion, there are rocks and rocks, and there is no road at all.He could only untie the sword bag on his back, use the long sword as a crutch, and climb up bit by bit. "Wow", he didn't pay attention, he stepped on the ground, he rolled down again, finally stopped, he had already smashed several places, and there was blood on his body.

Cao Ruoyu sighed and continued to climb up.After two hours, he finally climbed to the top of the mountain before he bled to death.

Strangely, it was still night on the top of the mountain.

For a moment, Cao Ruoyu thought he was dazzled, and rubbed his eyes vigorously. Yes, it was the night.

"It's not a ghost, is it?"

Cao Ruoyu's hairs stood on end immediately, but it's already here, it's a bit embarrassing to go on like this.

He remembered that there was a sword on the top of the mountain, maybe it was a good sword.

Cao Ruoyu looked at the long sword in his hand and thought about it—he also wanted to have his own saber. Elder Wen said that he had to find his saber by himself. Isn't this a good opportunity?

Thinking of this, Cao Ruoyu decided to make a breakthrough and stepped into the darkness.

The place on the top of the mountain is not big, there is no wind, it looks like a very closed space.In the darkness, there was a long sword inserted on a side of white marble. The sword was slender and glowed with white light, like the dawn in the morning, beautiful and bright.

Cao Ruoyu's eyes lit up instantly.He walked over cautiously, before reaching the sword, a face hung upside down in front of him: "Oh, young man!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

Cao Ruoyu retreated again and again, but tripped over something and fell to the ground.

Unexpectedly, the other party also yelled: "Ghost? Where is the ghost? Help!"

She rolled over and went straight to Cao Ruoyu, the young man shouted even louder, and the man jumped up behind him with a "whoosh" and asked tremblingly, "Where is there a ghost? Is there a ghost?"

The warm touch came from behind, and Cao Ruoyu came back to his senses, and asked in shock: "You, are you human?"

"Who? Me?"

The man poked out half of his head from behind, staring at him with a pair of bright apricot eyes, Cao Ruoyu swallowed, and crawled to the side, but the other party actually followed.

"You, you, don't come here!"

Cao Ruoyu was still terrified, he remembered that the beautiful female ghosts in the book would suck their energy first, and then eat people, he didn't want to just die like this!

"But there are ghosts, I'm so scared."

The man pinched his throat and talked to him, his eyes were full of sly smiles, Cao Ruoyu was about to cry: "I, I just came here to find someone, I didn't mean to offend my beautiful sister, I hope my sister Haihan, don't eat it I!"

When the man heard this, he giggled and said, "I'm just teasing you. Are you so scared? I have been on this mountain for almost ten years. You are the first person to come up. I am happy to see you." died!"

Cao Ruoyu didn't have time to think about her words, his heart was pounding, and he asked cautiously: "Then, sister, can I go down the mountain now?"

"It's all here, let's talk to my sister!"

The man blamed, and asked, "What's your name? How old are you? Where did you come from? Who did you study under? What are you doing here on this mountain? Did that dead ghost ask you to come and see me?"

Cao Ruoyu was overwhelmed by this series of questions, his mind was dazed, and he said in a straightforward manner: "My name is Cao Ruoyu, I am seventeen this year, and I am a disciple of the Changning Sword Sect. I went to the mountain today to ask the old ghost master to borrow the weaving spirit shuttle. , but got separated from my senior and junior brothers halfway, so I came here."

"Scattered?" The man pondered for a moment, "But this hill is usually out of sight, how did you find it here?"

"The old ghost master once sold me a compass, and there was a map in the compass."

Cao Ruoyu explained, hurriedly found the compass from the package, and found the bamboo tube from his bosom, without thinking, he pulled out the Nine Turns Resurrection Mirror.

His heart ached so badly, he picked it up and put it near his mouth and blew it before covering it in his arms, saying: "Sister, that's all these things."

"Ok?"

The man obviously heard the sound of the mirror falling, and the long sword was shining like a rising sun, illuminating the dark night.

It was only now that Cao Ruoyu could fully see the other person's face. She was a good-looking sister, about 20 years old, with apricot eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry lips, and creamy skin, like a blooming white peony, noble and beautiful.

"Is there something hiding in your arms?"

The man asked again, glanced at the compass hastily, and pretended to be angry, "This compass made by the dead ghost is so ugly, how dare you take it out and sell it, and you are not afraid of being struck by lightning."

"Sister, are you familiar with the old ghost master? Can you take me to see him, I have something very important to go to him."

Cao Ruoyu spoke earnestly, but the other party refused to comply, but instead bargained: "Then show me that thing in your arms."

The boy obviously hesitated for a moment, but thinking that the other party was the only way to find the old ghost master at present, he had no choice but to take out the Nine Turns Returning Soul Mirror and handed it to her: "Sister, be careful, this belongs to my friend, I have to return it." Give it to him before it breaks."

"rest assured."

The man took it over, looked at it for a while, and the smile on his face gradually faded, "Where are you from, my friend?"

"Linyuan, called Wen Ke, Wen Yuzhi."

Cao Ruoyu was very honest, the other party was silent for a long time, and sighed suddenly: "I think it should be him, this skill is much better than before."

The boy heard the implication and asked, "Sister, do you know him?"

"Of course I do." The man smiled, "That's my own junior brother, I watched him grow up."

Cao Ruoyu's eyes widened. Elder Wen is the same age as the elder brother, and the elder brother has been in a coma for another ten years. Elder Wen also stood up this year. This person is his senior sister. Isn't that——

"Sister, do I have to call you aunt from now on?"

he asked cautiously.

The other party was obviously taken aback, and then laughed loudly: "According to the age, it seems that it is correct to call it that way."

Cao Ruoyu was a little embarrassed by this smile: "Then, let's call you sister, you are so beautiful, calling aunt looks old."

The other party smiled more happily; "You are so interesting."

She returned the mirror to him, "Put it away."

"Uh-huh."

Cao Ruoyu put it in his arms again, and asked, "Sister, don't you know your name yet?"

"Me? You can just call me Ah Qing." The man smiled, eyebrows and eyes curved.

"Ah Qing, Ah Qing..."

Cao Ruoyu recited the name silently, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he was very pleasantly surprised, "Are you Elder Gu Qing?"

The other party didn't expect the young man in front of him to have such an expression, and his eyes softened: "Yeah, what's the matter?"

"That's great!" Cao Ruoyu was overjoyed, "Then you come down the mountain with me. We borrowed the Lingling Shuttle and sent Miss Li back to Linyuan. It happened to be on the way. Sun Zhangjian and Elder Wen must see you Very happy!"

Gu Qing smiled: "Are you familiar with them?"

"Well, we're friends."

Cao Ruoyu thought of Wen Ke, although it seemed that he did not agree to be friends with him.

"I haven't gone down the mountain for a long time, and I don't even know what the Changning Sword Sect is? Is your sect very powerful? How is Linyuan now? When those old antiques were still there, there were really various restrictions. This is not allowed to come and go. That one is not allowed to have close friendships, it's annoying to death."

Gu Qing shook his head again and again, Cao Ruoyu scratched his head: "Sister, how can it be considered a restriction? We, Sui Hanfeng, are well-known in kendo, and we won the first place in this year's Famous Sword Conference."

"What kendo conference? I've never heard of it."

Gu Qing pursed his lips with a puzzled look on his face.

Cao Ruoyu racked his brains, and said: "Then, my master, my master is the owner of Suochun Valley, he is very powerful, do you know him?"

"Suochun Valley?" Gu Qing was taken aback, "Is your master Xue Si?"

"En." Cao Ruoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had a topic to confront his senior.

However, at the next moment, Gu Qing looked him up and down with a probing face: "Then you can't do it, your master is Xue Si, why are you so weak like a white chicken?"

Cao Ruoyu was at a loss for words.

Seeing that he was really funny, Gu Qing teased him again: "Hey, it's rare that we hit it off so well. Listen to me tell a story, and I'll give you that sword over there, okay?"

"really?"

Cao Ruoyu always felt that this kind of good thing that fell from the sky would not hit him easily, so he confirmed it again, "Then, besides listening to the story, is there anything else I need to do?"

"No need." Gu Qing looked at him gently, thinking to himself, Shi Gu has a good eye, although this child's cultivation base is shallow now, but his spiritual roots are deep, with more guidance, he will make great achievements in the future.

Cao Ruoyu nodded happily, and sat cross-legged: "Listen carefully."

Gu Qing smiled: "Then I will start!"

"A long, long time ago, the Immortal Dao was prosperous, and a hundred schools of thought contended..."
