Reborn Enemy

"Isn't it the old lady of Zhao Si's family who was buried a few days ago, and the grave was dug up this morning, and her tongue really disappeared."

"Could it be that what's the use of a dead man's tongue?"

"What's the use? You still dare to make stewed tongue?"

"Bah! You only eat!"

"It's okay, the old man Ji who died last month had his tongue cut off before he was buried..."

"Even the dead, what a conscienceless thing!"

……

Gu Pinglin didn't need to go forward to inquire, just followed behind the group of villagers, and listened to the ins and outs of the matter.

The tongues of dead people were cut off, not just one person. This can't be the villagers' personal grievances. I'm afraid there are some demon cultivators nearby. Their evil skills need to collect corpses and organs as materials, which is similar to Xin Ji taking human eyeballs to make pupil paintings.

There is one person in the world who collects human tongues to practice magic arts.

"Young master Lu," Duan Qingming said, "it is rumored that this person was born in the Yinshan Lu family in the Northern Xiu world. Sharp tongue, good at telling stories, not only angered mother-in-law to death, but also accused my sister-in-law of having an affair with others, forced my sister-in-law to death, Mr. Lu couldn't bear it, so he killed her, cut his tongue to relieve his hatred, because he was afraid of being pursued by the Wang family, he ran away overnight, a coincidence Afterwards, I got a volume of ancient kung fu, and I realized the art of refining the tongue, so I was called the Tongue Man, and the real form of his magic weapon 'Qiaofeng' was the tongue of his wife."

As expected of a first-class family, the Duan family can even know these secrets.Gu Pinglin said: "You are well-read and well-recorded."

"Don't dare, I just know a thing or two," Duan Qingming said with a smile, "Although Mr. Lu is powerful, he seldom makes trouble in the cultivation world. There are many people in the younger generation who don't know it. I can't think of him practicing in seclusion."

"Then do you know that this person has old grudges with Yan Sen?"

"Oh?"

Seeing his surprise, the corner of Gu Pinglin's mouth turned up slightly, and he tapped the palm of his left hand with his fingers: "The power of Soul Sword Style lies in the attack of the soul. Master Lu's practice is special, but he is not afraid. About 30 years ago, Master Lu killed Yan Sen is a disciple, and took away his tongue. Yan Sen raises his apprentice to practice swords, and no one else can covet him. However, tongue people rarely show up, and his name is rarely known. Yan Sen will definitely notice it."

Duan Qingming narrowed his eyes: "So that's it, Junior Brother really knows everything."

Gu Pinglin replied calmly: "Don't dare, just know a thing or two."

Duan Qingming didn't care about the sarcasm, just followed his words and said with a smile: "Yes, you are so powerful because you know a little bit, it's because I'm ignorant and ashamed."

Gu Pinglin just couldn't see him putting on a show, so he deliberately demoted him.Of course it's not that Duan Qingming is ignorant, Yan Sen is not the only one who doesn't know about this matter, even Mr. Lu has long forgotten what he has done. Years later, Mr. Lu has achieved success in martial arts, and happened to confront Yan Sen, and this was exposed.

The two talked while walking, and it was already evening when they arrived at the posthouse. This site is under the jurisdiction of Feijian Palace. As the head of the eight sects, Feijian Palace is powerful, and even the posthouse in this small town is well-built. Xin Ji The room had already been booked, and they were standing at the door waiting for the two of them. After meeting up, the three of them walked to the guest courtyard at the back. Just outside the courtyard door, a yellow shadow suddenly flashed past and rushed in before the three of them.

"Sister, come out quickly, I heard something strange outside!" The woman in yellow ran into the yard, yelling coquettishly, "It's so weird!"

"What's so strange?" A woman in red ran out of the room, also full of curiosity. When she saw Gu Pinglin and the three of them, she couldn't help being taken aback.

Of course Gu Pinglin recognized the two, they were the sisters of the Guangling School whom he had seen the day before yesterday, and this girl in red was her older sister Zhou Caige.Ordinary twin sisters have somewhat different personalities, but this pair of sisters have the same personality, which is also a strange thing.In the previous life, they were used by Duan Qingming and caused a lot of trouble for the Lingxin faction. Gu Pinglin could naturally distinguish them - elder sister Zhou Caige liked red and loved pearl flower accessories; younger sister Zhou Caiqin liked yellow and often wore butterfly accessories. The speed of speech is a little fast.

Zhou Caige recognized the two of them, Gu Pinglin, but Zhou Caiqin didn't pay attention, still fussing: "Someone stole a dead man's tongue, don't you think it's strange!"

"Stealing someone's tongue?" Zhou Caige was also surprised.

Zhou Caiqin beamed with joy: "That's right, it's a coincidence that they are in Yanlai Village not far away. They have had funerals in the past few months, but the buried dead have all had their tongues cut off. You said, dead people have tongues. What's the use, who would be so boring?"

Seeing her talking quickly, Zhou Caige glanced at Gu Pinglin and the others, a little embarrassed: "It's not what you hear, stop believing these rumors."

Zhou Caiqin retorted: "It's not a rumor, what they said has a name!"

Zhou Caige couldn't help but take her hand and winked.

It was only then that Zhou Caiqin realized that there was someone behind her. When she turned around to look, she couldn't help saying "Oh!" and pointed at Gu Pinglin: "I've seen you, you are..."

Gu Pinglin cupped his hands in a vain manner: "Gu Pinglin, the Lingxin faction, is being polite."

"The next Duan Qingming is his senior brother," Duan Qingming stepped forward with a smile on his face, "I've met the two girls."

"It's the Lingxin sect." Zhou Caige obviously relaxed, and seemed a little regretful. She looked at Duan Qingming twice more, and blushed back, "We are disciples of the Guangling sect. My father's surname is Zhou, and we only taboo the word "Autumn." , Among the sisters, I rank second, and my younger sister ranks third."

"Oh?" Duan Qingming slightly raised his eyebrows, and his tone was a bit surprised, "It turns out that Lord Zhou Shan is your father, and I have admired him for a long time."

The two sisters looked at each other and smiled, revealing a hint of pride, and their attitude became more friendly.Zhou Caiqin took the initiative to ask: "You guys just came from outside, have you heard about the strange incident just now?" She was straightforward, and immediately explained all the news she knew.

Duan Qingming was trained by the Duan family as the future patriarch since he was a child, and his conversation, manners, and etiquette can be regarded as a model for the family. Sure enough, the Zhou sisters were overwhelmed by this temperament, and gradually became reserved and shy, even their voices became softer and gentler.

Gu Pinglin was not displeased at being left alone, he thought that he should have come, but he couldn't hide, the sisters were still fascinated by him.

The layout of this guest house is a bit special, probably because there are too many guests and not enough rooms, and two rows of guest rooms were built in the middle of the courtyard. Not far away, a window "creaked" opened, and someone appeared in the window. Immediately, quickly and gently, the window was closed again.

It was only a blink of an eye, but Gu Pinglin didn't ignore this small movement, unexpectedly: "Huh? It's him?"

Here Duan Qingming is still talking to the Zhou sisters, I don't know if he has noticed.Zhou Caiqin asked carefully: "Mr. Duan, why does that man need so many tongues?"

Xin Ji next to him laughed "haha" and interjected: "It goes without saying, of course it's for the sake of magic."

"Magic repair?" The two sisters were shocked.

"Western Buddhism calls the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind the six senses, and I call them the six desires in the cultivation world. They have spirituality and carry their own spiritual knowledge, so they can be refined. However, most of the alchemy sects in the Demon Realm today are refining corpses, souls, and blood. , This kind of high-level alchemy that only takes eyes and ears to practice is rare, the old man's pupils...cough cough," Xin Ji almost slipped the tongue, but stopped in time, "The old man is just hearing it, so it can't be true."

"Senior is well-informed," Zhou Caiqin complimented, with a look of worry on her pretty face, "If that's the case, you must tell Fifth Senior Brother."

Zhou Caige said: "Regardless of whether this person is a demon cultivator or not, if he practices such yin and evil techniques, he will definitely not be good. It is best to get rid of them."

Duan Qingming said softly: "I have heard for a long time that the Guangling Sect exterminates evil spirits and kills demons. It is admirable, but I think this matter is unusual. The two girls must be careful."

Ruouowu's concern in the words was just right, not frivolous at all, both sisters blushed when they heard it.

"We naturally understand this," Zhou Caige raised his chin and smiled softly, showing his daughter's beauty. "This matter is of great importance. We still need to discuss it with our seniors. Please, three."

"Please." Duan Qingming leaned slightly.

While they were talking, Gu Pinglin entered the room by himself, looked around first, performed a water purification formula, and then walked over to open the window. Just after doing this, Duan Qingming opened the door and came in.

"It's rude not to come in." Gu Pinglin turned around.

"Brothers are limited by etiquette, don't you see it?" Duan Qingming walked over and sat down on the chair.

"The chair is dirty."

"Gu Yun gave up his life to accompany the gentleman, why should I be afraid of being dirty in front of my junior brother?" Duan Qingming leaned back in the chair, turned his head to look at him, under the light from the window, his handsome face was half-illuminated and half-dark, and his tall nose was more prominent Sharp, but infected by the three-point smile on his lips, revealing an unspeakable gentle charm, "Little bad habits, my junior understands so well, and I have a heart."

Gu Pinglin sat down opposite him: "Brother in the sect, I understand more or less, it's not surprising."

"Really," Duan Qingming said with a smile as his eyes fell on the hand on the edge of the table, "I'm not enough for you to understand alone?"

"Enough, so I understand that Mr. Duan brought good tea with him, he is more familiar with the way of tea, and he is generous and willing to share."

"You, I just say a few words, and you treat me like a servant."

"Don't want to?"

"It's my honor to make tea for my younger brother, and I should do it myself."

Gu Pinglin watched him straighten up calmly, and took out tea leaves, tea sets, wind stoves, etc. from his carry-on bag, and there was actually a large jar of aged Lingshan rainwater.

The charcoal in the furnace is red, and the small fan is fanning the wind by itself, and the person is still sitting safely on the chair, with his hands free from dust.

Gu Pinglin just waited quietly. When the tea was ready, Duan Qingming poured a cup for him with his own hands: "Please, please use."

The fragrance of tea is lingering, and the small shabby room reveals a bit of elegance. Gu Pinglin praised: "Good tea."

Duan Qingming said: "If you don't look at it or taste it, it's okay?"

"Because you are too confident," Gu Pinglin held up the teacup, "it must be good tea that can make you so confident." After speaking, he looked down at the tea color, sniffed it, took a sip, and savored it for a long time: " Sure enough."

"Then how about I brew a pot for my junior every day?"

Hearing this kind of casual joke, Gu Pinglin took another sip of tea, then put down the teacup: "How dare you bother, you should say such things to the two Miss Zhou."

Duan Qingming was not surprised: "How do you say that?"

Gu Pinglin said: "Women are infatuated, since you don't mean to, you shouldn't provoke it, it will only cause cause and effect."

Duan Qingming casually took his teacup and poured out the remaining tea: "How do you know I don't mean it?"

Gu Pinglin was taken aback: "You..."

Duan Qingming said: "Aren't you also interested in them?"

This matter cannot be hidden from him, Gu Pinglin did not deny that he was indeed interested in the Zhou sisters, and it was because of him, firstly, he was curious whether the two sisters would still follow him, and secondly, the two sisters had special identities, and worried that the Lingxin faction would be implicated .

Duan Qingming poured a cup of tea for him again: "Concentrate."

"Ok?"

The sky is getting darker, the cool breeze blows through the window, and the smile on the thin lips seems to have lost its warm color.Duan Qingming put away the Qiankun bag, and his tone remained gentle: "They are not qualified to participate in your and my way."

Duan Qingming is indeed Duan Qingming.Gu Pinglin was worried that he would offend Zhou's sisters, when he heard this, he said: "They are of unusual status, so it is indeed not appropriate to provoke them."

Duan Qingming said "hmm": "Of course, it's best for you to think so."

After getting a clear answer, Gu Pinglin also heaved a sigh of relief. After all, this person likes to make trouble, and being a monster is troublesome enough.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Is Senior Gu inside?" The people outside were cautious and lowered their voices on purpose.

If you know it, you are a smart person.Gu Pinglin said: "Come in."

A figure flashed into the room quickly, and closed the door with a backhand.

It was a teenage boy, tall and thin, with phoenix eyes and thin lips. He was the Lan Feiyu who met outside Shengong Valley.

In less than a year, the shabby young man in ragged clothes has changed a lot. He is much taller and is no longer as thin as before. Now he is wearing a demon silk black robe with excellent defensive effect. He looks broad-chested and long-legged. Young heroic, with a very cautious demeanor, ignoring the gloomy and ruthless look in the phoenix's eyes occasionally, those who don't know the inside story will definitely regard him as an honest and polite rookie disciple.

Seeing the sword on his waist, Gu Pinglin was even more surprised.

The sword is housed in an ordinary-looking sheath, and it seems to have no aura. In fact, it is the Zhexiu sword used by Li Moqing in his previous life. Walking, so others only hear its name, but don't know the true face of the sword.

Giving the Zhexiu Sword to Lan Feiyu shows that Li Moqing has good intentions, but whether Lan Feiyu is worthy of such treatment is yet to be discussed.

Thinking of the ending of the master and apprentice in the previous life, Gu Pinglin did not agree with Li Moqing.

Lan Feiyu is the queen of Lan Gu, the demon head of the illusion, who is pregnant with "The Secret Book of Forbidden Heart". He wanted to enter the righteous sect in order to avoid being traced by the demon realm. Who knows that he met Li Moqing by accident, so he took advantage of the opportunity to worship under the sect of the enemy. However, Li Moqing pityed him for being helpless and carefully taught him, but he waited for an opportunity to take revenge. Li Moqing's fate like that was caused by himself.

Now that Li Moqing knows Lan Feiyu's identity, he still has no grievances. It can be seen that he is a pure and kind person. I hope he can dissolve the hatred in Lan Feiyu's heart. After all, Lan Feiyu still had some affection for him in the past. He sought medical treatment, but unfortunately Li Moqing was disheartened and refused to be treated until Lan Feiyu died.

At this time, Lan Feiyu was still young, not the all-powerful guardian of Wanfamen, seeing that Gu Pinglin was silent, he was obviously a little nervous, and he saluted stiffly, his words were a bit awkward and shy: "I have seen Senior Gu. "

Gu Pinglin asked: "Why are you here? Where is the commander?"

When Li Moqing was mentioned, Lan Feiyu had an extremely complicated look on his face, and quickly lowered his head: "My master is in Shengong Valley, and I was ordered to deliver a letter to Feijian Palace."

Duan Qingming said with a smile: "Respected Master must have been practicing "Lanting Thirteen Swords". Congratulations."

Lan Feiyu quickly glanced at the two of them, then lowered his eyes again, and replied politely: "Master's pulse has not healed, and his health is not good, so he cannot practice "Thirteen Swords of Lanting"."

"Huh?" Gu Pinglin narrowed his eyes slightly, "Could it be that the effect of Lingshi milk is insufficient?"

"No, the spirit stone milk was stolen." Lan Feiyu replied in a low voice.

stolen?Gu Pinglin pondered for a while, then stretched his eyebrows: "That's a pity."

Lan Feiyu raised his face and said, "Senior, don't worry, Master has treated me with great kindness, and I will definitely find a elixir for him."

Gu Pinglin nodded: "Brother Li is very lucky to have a good apprentice like you."

The sharp eyes are like sharp knives, piercing directly into the heart, Lan Feiyu has a ghost, and he trembles when he is seen, thinking that his identity will be easily exposed when he first sees him, let alone dare to say anything, he hurriedly lowered his head again. Then clenched hands.

Gu Pinglin looked away, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea slowly, and then said: "Forget it, brother Li is an open-minded person, and he doesn't want to be too serious about it, so you don't have to worry too much."

Seeing that he no longer asked about this matter, Lan Feiyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes."

Gu Pinglin changed the subject, and asked him routinely like an ordinary senior caring about a junior: "You have been worshiped under Brother Li, and the time is not short. I don't know how to improve your cultivation? Is there any difficulty?"

When mentioning cultivation, Lan Feiyu immediately showed embarrassment: "The younger generation is late in getting started, and has a dull nature. Now he is still in the fourth level of Nayuan, and he really lives up to the cultivation of the master."

Gu Pinglin smiled when he heard the words: "The Nayuan realm is the foundation of a cultivator, and it is very important. It takes more effort than other realms, so you don't need to worry."

Lan Feiyu responded obediently: "Yes, thank you for the teaching, senior, and the younger generation will keep it in mind."

Gu Pinglin said happily: "Since you have business to do, go on your own, and I won't delay you."

Lan Feiyu was also afraid that he would show his flaws by saying the wrong thing, and was about to find an excuse to leave. This remark hit his heart, he calmly bid farewell to the two, and carefully closed the door behind him before leaving.

Gu Pinglin looked away, the tea on the table was already slightly cold.Duan Qingming reached out to take his teacup, poured out half a cup of residual tea, and then performed a water purification formula. The tea set and other things were quickly cleaned as new, and everything flew back into the Qiankun bag in an orderly manner.Gu Pinglin didn't speak, just watched him tidy up.

After finishing all this, Duan Qingming finally sighed: "The kindness of a woman is really disappointing."

This obviously refers to Li Moqing, Gu Pinglin did not refute.The sword is the first of all weapons, and the number one killer weapon. For sword repairers, the four characters "momentum" and "resoluteness" are absolutely indispensable. Such a state, generous and non-controversial, does not mean that the heart is soft-hearted and can be bullied, just as Yao Feng has a good-natured temperament, he will categorically draw a clear line with himself because of his beliefs, not to mention that righteous swordsmanship is based on "righteousness", and if he encounters evil, he will be weak , how to become enlightened?No matter how talented Li Moqing is, no matter how strong his understanding is, if he is too soft-hearted, then his future achievements in swordsmanship are doomed to be limited. Just looking at his previous life, he never took revenge on Lan Feiyu when he fell to that level. Kill the traitors and clean up the door.

Duan Qingming was really disappointed, so disappointed that he didn't even have any intention of hiding it, he closed his eyes slightly: "I really want to see the authentic "Lanting Thirteen Swords", I don't know what kind of style it will be...it's a pity."

Jun's expression was very calm, and his tone was not too turbulent, but it made people feel the loneliness clearly.

"Lingshi milk was stolen by Lan Feiyu, and he wouldn't let Li Moqing heal." He opened his black eyes again, smiling again, "What do you think of this kid Lan Feiyu?"

In the blink of an eye, he had lost all interest in Li Moqing.This is Duan Qingming, no matter how much interest there is, once the opponent can't keep up with him, he can turn around and abandon it, or even use it as a pawn.

Gu Pinglin calmly replied: "Another person who plays tricks and is good at disguising."

Less than a year after entering the school, people with above-average aptitude should be in the third level of Nayuan, and the modest words of "still in the fourth level of Nayuan" completely exposed Lan Feiyu's talent—he thought he should not be in the third level of Nayuan. Only in Quadruple.Li Moqing attaches great importance to him and has no reservations about him, and the reason is also closed.

Excellent aptitude, already entered the fourth level of Nayuan, knowing that he can go further, but still not doing his best...

A reasonable explanation is——

He was already practicing "Cheats of Forbidden Heart" and was distracted.

"It's all about playing tricks and being good at disguising. What does 'another' mean?" Duan Qingming said, "After all, you always have to scold me to be happy."

Gu Pinglin glanced at him: "You don't think you are this kind of person, so naturally I am not scolding you."

"You think I am, then I am too," Duan Qingming said, "The kid surnamed Lan is cruel enough, are you going to tell Li Moqing?"

"Why should I tell him?" Gu Pinglin tapped his fingers on the table, "It was the best of humanity to remind him once, and reminding him again is meddling. In your eyes, I look like a nosy person?"

"Where," Duan Qingming looked at the slightly pale, slender, strong fingers, and said with a smile, "it means you don't look like a heartless person."

"Li Moqing's own decision, whether it's good or bad, he has to bear the consequences, and it's useless for others to intervene," Gu Pinglin stopped his movements, and said with frowned eyes, "It's interesting for Yan to come to the village. A small village has been holding funerals for several months. Coincidentally."

Mr. Lu, the tongue man, used the tongues of dead people to make "skillful reeds". What if there were no dead people?

"It's easy to create dead people." Duan Qingming said.
