Reborn Enemy

Gu Pinglin sat on the chair thinking about something, and didn't come back to his senses until there was a knock on the door: "Senior Xin."

Xin Ji stroked his beard and walked in the door: "Young Master Gu hasn't rested so late, I see that you are still dealing with business all the way, you are indeed young and promising, and those who are able work harder..."

He would come, exactly as Gu Pinglin expected.Gu Pinglin interrupted him: "What do you want to say?"

"Mr. Gu is smart," Xin Ji laughed dryly, and straight to the point, "You heard what Mr. Duan said during the day, and you hope to help me."

Gu Pinglin said: "You belong to Brother Duan, you should ask him to save you, but why did you come looking for me?"

Xin Ji also made up his mind, and his expression became much calmer: "Ming people don't talk dark words, you know better than me what kind of person Duan Liu is, and this old man sincerely came to ask for help, so I owe you a favor, how about it?"

Gu Pinglin said: "I don't know the secrets, how can I help you?"

Xin Ji said: "I can't dodge it, and I don't want to dodge it, I just want to fight for a chance. If there is an accident, Mr. Gu will use the Shattering Shadow Formation to help me."

Apart from Heavenly Tribulation, the biggest life-and-death barrier in the cultivation world is nothing more than encountering a powerful enemy. He learned how to break the shadow to open the sky formation in the sea bone pit, and he has seen the power of the formation with his own eyes. It is still very useful at times, but this formation needs the cooperation of people, the greater the number of people, the greater the power, it is estimated that Cheng Yi has already been persuaded by him.

Gu Pinglin raised his eyebrows: "Have you thought about this favor?"

Xin Ji misunderstood what he meant, and sneered, with a little arrogance in his eyes: "Although I, Xin Ji, can do something wrong, I think I have some good eyesight, and I chose you to cooperate because I know you are not just someone in the pool. Afraid that the old man will go back on his word?"

If Tongmo Xinji had real eyesight, he wouldn't have been killed by his apprentice in his previous life.Gu Pinglin did not explain: "This matter is not difficult, but there is another thing on your mind, it is best to give up."

Xin Ji was heaving a sigh of relief, he was startled when he heard the words, and calmly said: "What do you mean by Mr. Gu?"

Gu Pinglin said: "I just advise you, don't have unrealistic thoughts."

Xin Ji rolled his eyes: "Do you think this matter is unrealistic? If you can join..."

"I won't cooperate with you." Gu Pinglin interrupted him.

Xin Ji chuckled: "Excuse me, the two of you appear to be brothers, but you are actually at odds."

"Have it?"

"What happened in Good Fortune Cave Mansion made you want to kill him. I wonder if what the old man said is right?"

"Oh?" His eyes became sharp instantly,

Xin Ji felt chills down his spine when he saw it, he barely managed to stabilize his expression, and his tone softened: "Don't worry, this old man has the same purpose as yours, so naturally I won't say it."

Gu Pinglin laughed suddenly: "Do you know what happened in Good Fortune Cave Mansion?"

Xin Ji probed: "Duan Liu has an unstable temperament and a deep scheming mind. This old man has suffered from him. Mr. Gu is a man of glory, and he also cares about the relationship between teachers and brothers. It is not surprising that he plotted against him."

Gu Pinglin stared at him for a moment, the killing intent in his heart gradually disappeared.

Xin Ji was also paying attention to his expression, and felt that he guessed right when he saw it, and hurriedly hit the iron while it was hot: "This old man just wants to get back the soul stone, and he has no ill intentions towards the Lingxin faction. Mr. Gu is very resourceful, if you add me and Yan Laomo Are you afraid that you won't be able to deal with him?"

Gu Pinglin sneered slightly: "He's always been my senior brother, why should I help you deal with him? If you say this in front of me, aren't you afraid that I'll tell him?"

Xin Ji was startled, his eyes twinkled, and he smiled nonchalantly: "Since Mr. Gu has already seen what I'm thinking, why wait until now to tell him? Besides, the old man is also kind enough to consider for you, you two are not on good terms. , Duan Liu's talent is far superior to yours. As far as I know, Master respects him very much. His staying in the heart will be harmful to you, and he will be the master in the future..."

Having said that, I suddenly felt a pressure under the hood, and the true energy in my body was not flowing smoothly.

Xin Ji was horrified, and only then came to his senses.

——I have always underestimated the opponent's strength!

Gu Pinglin stood up and walked in front of him: "Don't worry, I also kindly remind you that your provocative method has been used on the wrong target. How can outsiders be able to instigate disciples of the Lingxin sect at will?"

After the pressure disappeared, Xin Ji heaved a sigh of relief, but still did not give up: "Could it be that you are afraid of him?"

"I don't want to fight against him for the time being," Gu Pinglin said, "Even if I want to kill him, it's a contest between the two of us. I don't need to join forces with anyone, and he will only die in my hands." See Xin Ji wanted to speak, but he waved his hand to stop him: "I won't intervene, but if you deal with him, how do you know he won't deal with you first?"

After what happened just now, Xin Ji was secretly on guard, but was startled again when he heard the words, subconsciously shook his head: "He used the soul stone to subdue us, it shows that we are always useful to him, no one will easily destroy their chess pieces."

"Maybe," Gu Pinglin paused, "Isn't he human?"

Xin Ji laughed out loud when he heard this, "Young Master Gu really knows how to joke."

Don't blame him, most people think so.As everyone knows, in Duan Qingming's view, if a chess piece dies, it means that the chess piece itself is not good enough, and if you look for it again, there is no such thing as "reluctant".At the beginning when the "Seven Gates seized the Heavenly Jade" incident broke out in the cultivation world, most of the eight inner alchemy masters who fell in three years were due to his contribution to the flames, including two elders of the Duan family and an elder of the Xuanming sect. It's better to sit and drink tea with Xuanming Pai playing the piano.The words have already been said, Xin Ji didn't believe it, and Gu Pinglin didn't remind again: "So, I hope you will get your wish as soon as possible."

Seeing that he was persuaded not to move, Xin Ji cupped his hands in thanks and left.

The next day everyone set off as usual, and they didn't encounter any danger along the way. Although Xin Ji suspected that Duan Qingming was lying to him, he didn't dare to relax his vigilance. The next two days were calm, and everyone was about to walk out of Huajian Wan's jurisdiction , Duan Qingming still rested on the back of the crane with his arm pillowed on his pillow as usual, dozing off leisurely, without any worries that the lie would be exposed soon.

Xin Ji became more and more suspicious, and looked around with his old eyes, looking for nothing to say: "Fifty or sixty miles away, we will be under the jurisdiction of the True Water Sword Sect. There are many lakes and islands in that area. It is said that the True Water Sword Art is realized from the water. , Hehe, it's interesting."

Duan Qingming seemed to have really fallen asleep, Gu Pinglin was still sitting cross-legged, sitting upright, even Cheng Yi was uncharacteristically unresponsive, he had been staring at Xin Ji since early morning without blinking his eyes.

Xin Ji was also puzzled, and asked Cheng Yi: "What do you always see me doing?"

Probably because he was uncomfortable staring at him for too long, Cheng Yi stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, then continued to stare at him: "See how you die."

You fucking die!Xin Ji twitched his beard and said with a smirk, "Three days will pass, or God wants to keep this old man alive, I don't know."

Cheng Yi insisted: "Duan Qingming is not wrong."

Duan Qingming immediately laughed and opened his eyes: "Hey, thank you Brother Cheng for your trust."

Cheng Yi was completely blindly worshiping him, and upon hearing this, he explained seriously: "You're welcome, it's because you're smart."

Duan Qingming laughed and pointed at Xin Ji: "It's good that you know about this kind of thing, if you say more, I'm afraid he will want to kill you."

"Really?" Cheng Yi turned his head vigilantly, "No wonder there is a murderous look."

Unexpectedly, the topic turned back to him, Xin Ji was caught off guard, and the murderous intent in his eyes was not clear, so he could only smile awkwardly: "Young Master Duan really knows how to joke."

Cheng Yi quit: "Okay, I promised to help you, but you actually want to kill me!"

"Really not," Xin Ji scolded his mother in his heart, but he didn't dare to offend him, "Little friend misunderstood, I...is not good!"

"Murderous!" Cheng Yi yelled louder than him, "It's really not you!"

With an invisible barrier under the hood, the terrifying pressure is suffocating!

The spirit crane made a long cry, flapped its wings vigorously twice, finally surrendered under the coercion, fell to the ground, and the four people on the crane's back turned over and rushed out at the same time.Others are fine, only Xin Ji is terrified, facing the inner alchemy overhaul for no reason, isn't it a catastrophe of life and death!He didn't dare to doubt Duan Qingming's words anymore, he showed his real strength and rushed the fastest.

It fell through.Gu Pinglin paused.

Sure enough, nine sword cultivators appeared in front of them, all covering their faces, and Xin Ji just rushed into their encirclement.

"Xin Ji looked for you." Someone beside him said.

After that night, Gu Pinglin's attitude changed suddenly, and the two of them hardly spoke.At this moment, Gu Pinglin noticed that his eyes fell on him, and Gu Pinglin's reaction was polite and cold: "Your strategy is very good, I have no reason to destroy it."

The gaze locked on him for a moment, then moved away.

Seeing Duan Qingming take the initiative to help, Xin Ji felt more and more that his guess was right, and thought that he would not let himself die easily.It's just that Duan Qingming obviously didn't do his best, and he used the authentic Lingxin swordsmanship. This is no surprise to Xin Ji. Fortunately, Gu Pinglin and Cheng Yi joined in right after him, so he wouldn't be too sad for a while, but he was affected by the realm. Coercion, the nine people on the opposite side are all outer alchemy cultivation bases, and there is also a major inner alchemy who has not shown up. It may be difficult to break through the barrier.

Why these people are targeting him, Xin Ji is also puzzled, while coping with the siege, he bites the bullet and calls: "Wang Moujie, a casual cultivator, how did you offend Your Excellency?"

The other party didn't answer at all, and the siege became more fierce, it seemed that they were relieved to get rid of the four people.

If you don't fight at this time, when will you wait!Xin Ji was originally a generation of demons, but now that his path has been changed by Gu Pinglin, his spirit is still there, and he sneered at the moment: "Don't pretend, you imitate the sword skills of the True Water Sword Sect, but you are not sword cultivators at all, are you?"

The nine swords on the opposite side slowed down.

Sure enough!Xin Ji was secretly surprised, and then felt the pressure on his body was a bit heavier, before he had time to think about it, he immediately shouted "Formation", and after speaking, he summoned the spirit sword, using the first move of Gu Ying's swordsmanship "Jinghong" over shadow".

It turned out that he changed to swordsmanship and learned Gu Ying's swordsmanship. Duan Qingming didn't avoid him at all, and he answered every question. Gu Ying's swordsmanship is necessary, but just as Gu Pinglin expected, it is difficult for ordinary people to comprehend the essence of Gu Ying's swordsmanship and cannot remember all the complicated changes. This move is only five points similar, but his cultivation is better than Duan Qingming's , the power is still not small when used.

Hearing the sound, Cheng Yi and Gu Pinglin cooperated with each other with their swords, and the formation of Shattering Shadow and Sky Formation was formed immediately. The nine people on the opposite side seemed to know the strength of this formation, so they stepped out of the formation first.

Xin Ji hissed, "Go!"

The stacking power of the formation was very impressive, the barrier was broken, Xin Ji's eyes were blood red, and he was about to flee, but was stopped by a black-robed monk holding a sword.

The black-robed monk wore a curtain on his head, and his voice was hoarse, obviously changing it on purpose: "Good swordsmanship."

Knowing that he didn't want to reveal his identity, Xin Ji didn't ask any further questions, his eyes were dark: "Young Master Gu, Cheng Xiaoyou..."

Looking back, Cheng Yi was nowhere to be seen. It turned out that he took the opportunity to slip away just after the barrier was broken.

Xin Ji held back his anger, and hurriedly looked at Gu Pinglin. Seeing Gu Pinglin nodding, he felt a little relieved, and the two formed a formation and rushed towards the black-robed monk.

However, the more people there are, the more powerful the Poying Opening Formation is, but now that Cheng Yi is missing, its power will be greatly reduced.The black-robed monk blocked Xin Ji's sword move, and said "Hey": "Good swordsmanship, aren't you from the Spiritual School?"

"Who said that the Lingxin faction doesn't have good swordsmanship?" Duan Qingming suddenly took the initiative, and also used the move "Shocking the Shadow", as expected, this move still didn't do its best, and it seemed that he was the weakest one of.

The black-robed monk sneered slightly: "So what if you have good swordsmanship? It's always a second-rate school."

Gu Pinglin's eyes were slightly cold.

Duan Qingming smiled and said: "Don't bother with the Lingxin faction, but you pretended to be a sword cultivator and didn't dare to try your best. Is it because you are afraid of being seen? Does anyone know you?"

The black-robed monk didn't answer, but waved his hand: "Quick battle."

The other nine people gathered around again, it seemed that Duan Qingming had hit the mark, he didn't want to make a move himself and leave a hole.

Xin Ji was secretly anxious, completely oblivious to the fact that he had been regarded as a member of the Spiritual Mind School, and said lightly to Duan: "Since the old man obeys your orders, if you ignore..."

"It's not that I won't help you," Duan Qingming said, "I don't know how to break the shadow to open the sky formation."

Xin Ji was surprised: "How could you not?"

Duan Qingming smiled and said: "Hey, I can't know everything, Po Ying, it's very unfriendly to hear the name, why should I learn it? Brother Gu, don't you think so?"

Gu Pinglin ignored it.

The nine people on the opposite side were not sword cultivators, and their strength would inevitably be greatly reduced when using swords. Seeing that they were unable to attack for a long time, the black-robed monk immediately waved his sleeves, and the earth and rocks floated up and smashed towards the three of them.Xin Ji was the first to bear the brunt and was hit in the chest by a stone. Seeing this, a masked monk wielded a sword and tried to kill him. Fortunately, Gu Pinglin blocked him in time.

Xin Ji turned over and got up, with blood dripping down his beard, his face was ferocious: "I don't believe that I can't survive this disaster!"

The sudden evil spirit caught everyone present by surprise.

Xin Ji clasped his left hand to the sky, and a phantom emerged from the top of his head, it was a huge eye!

The black eyeballs kept rolling, shining with a strange light.

It's rare for him to hide for so long.Gu Pinglin had already secretly practiced the Fortune Art and the Pure Heart Art, so he stabilized his mind and lowered his eyes slightly.

The black-robed cultivator deserved to be the inner alchemy master, and he was the first to react: "No, close your eyes!"

However, this sentence is still too late, most of the nine monks have already been recruited, and the eyes of the five are dull, as if they have lost their souls.

"You are a demon cultivator!" The black-robed monk was furious, and threw the long sword in his hand, piercing the giant eye in mid-air.

Xin Ji tried his best to expose his hole cards, and his idea was to take advantage of his unpreparedness, but who knew that the difference in cultivation base was too big, so he was not fooled.Xin Ji hastily withdrew his pupil art and turned around, only to find that the black-robed monk was standing behind him unknowingly: "Die!"

He also saw that this technique was focused on the soul, even if the five people woke up, their sanity would probably be damaged. He was heartbroken and resentful, and he slapped Xin Ji with a palm that contained a lifetime of cultivation, which was enough to explode a person.

"My life is over!" Xin Ji was shocked.

Sudden--

"Over there!" Cheng Yi called out, "Don't let him run away!"

The black-robed monk paused and made a decisive decision: "Withdraw!"

He withdrew his palm and pointed, and drew a formation-leading talisman in mid-air, and the formation talisman was printed on the ground. In an instant, a teleportation formation appeared three feet away, and four sober masked monks rushed in with five injured people. Inside the formation, the black-robed monk wanted to dodge in, but unexpectedly, a forest of swords rose up, blocking him from the teleportation formation.

Phoenix shadow perches!

"Don't dare to do that, my son!" The black-robed monk sneered, spreading his hands, and two hibiscus flowers came out of his hands.

The flowers seemed weak, but they scattered a large forest of swords!

The black-robed monk sneered, and was about to rush away when his eyes dimmed.

When the sword realm opened again, purple light lit up between the sky and the earth, and the reckless sword energy was like a long dragon, tumbling and rushing towards it, forming a perfect cooperation with the phoenix shadow that fell from mid-air, sealing the way out.

The dragon screams and the phoenix sings, the strength collides, and the black-robed monk is caught off guard. He is eager to escape. Although he breaks through the siege with his inner alchemy, he is seriously injured and staggers into the teleportation formation.

As soon as a few people in the formation disappeared, Cheng Yi arrived with a dozen or so disciples of the True Water Sword Sect, and there was only a "bang", and the teleportation formation was destroyed.

Xin Ji was lucky enough to escape with his life, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, hurriedly took out two pills and swallowed them.

The sword light dissipated, revealing the figures of two people.Duan Qingming retracted his sword, seeing Gu Pinglin's pale face, he reached out to help him: "Are you okay?"

"It doesn't matter." Gu Pinglin turned sideways without any trace, and walked towards the people of Zhenshui Sword Sect, just avoiding that hand.

Duan Qingming narrowed his eyes slightly.

The True Water Sword Sect is not considered a big sect, and has a long history with the Lingxin Sect. Gu Pinglin went up to thank them, and the attitude of those disciples was very friendly, and they immediately helped to find clues. However, the black-robed monks were already prepared, and even arranged the teleportation array , everyone naturally couldn't find anything.

A disciple of the True Water Sword Sect guessed: "It seems that there is evil spirit just now, could it be a demon cultivator?"

"Perhaps Moxiu never asks why he kills people," Duan Qingming walked over, "Thanks to everyone who arrived in time to save our lives."

The disciple pointed at Cheng Yi with a smile: "It was Junior Brother Cheng who came in time."

Cheng Yi said honestly: "Duan Qingming asked me to come." After speaking, he said to Xin Ji earnestly: "He asked me to find someone to save you, you should thank him."

Xin Ji's face twisted for a moment, and he quickly regained his composure. He said with a smile: "My little friend said that thanks to Mr. Duan's ingenious plan, the old man was able to escape from this calamity. I also want to thank all the friends of Zhenshuizong."

Gu Pinglin glanced at him.

Just now, the black-robed monk was forced to use his own Taoism. He is a member of the Huajian Wan family. He is not a demon cultivator. If he guessed correctly, this person should be Wan Sanhe, the old man of the Wan family.The disciple of the Lingxin Sect died in Wan's jurisdiction, and Wan Lai would no longer be able to join the Lingxin Sect. He wanted to cut Wan Lai's way, because he was not targeting Xin Ji this time, but himself and Duan Qingming. .Duan Qingming deliberately used the "big catastrophe" to lure Xin Ji to fight for his life. The two of them didn't do their best just now, which also misled Wan Sanhe, making him think that Xin Ji was a disciple of the Lingxin School and the most powerful one.

Regarding Xin Ji, Gu Pinglin didn't feel much guilt.If it wasn't so, even if Xin Ji was concerned about the soul stone, he would definitely not use his full strength. This old demon is not a kind person, he has handed over his pupils on the surface, but in fact he still has some reservations, just in time to beat him.

Not finding any clues, everyone in the Zhenshui Sword Sect sighed, and invited Gu Pinglin and the others to the sect as guests.

After being favored, he should have personally thanked him, not to mention that in order to cooperate with Duan Qingming's sword "Phoenix Shadow Resting on the Wu", Gu Pinglin had to overdraw his true energy to make up for the gap in cultivation, and resorted to a new move "Swim the Dragon and Startle the Phoenix", At this moment, he was a little tired and needed to find a place to recuperate, so he agreed to come down along the way, and the four of them went to Zhenshui Jianzong together.

---------------

Come to the theater:

Gu Jiu: I have to deal with business, what are you doing here.

Duan [-]: No, I just heard that I am not human?

Gu Jiu: I said it, what, do you want to do it?

Duan [-]: How come, I'm just a little puzzled.

Gu Jiu (accidentally): Oh?

Duan [-]: I think I have always been more like a human being in front of you. How did you see the flaws?

Gu Jiu: ...It's rare that you are so honest.

Paragraph [-]: I have always been honest.

Gu Jiu (sarcastically): For example, full of lies?Hypocrisy to deceive people to die?

Duan [-]: Well, that proves my honesty even more, because I am not human.

Gu Jiu: Show off your tongue.

Duan [-]: No, actually, I already knew about you scolding me behind my back.

Gu Jiu: Huh?

Duan [-]: So I poisoned you when I got up early, and after calculation, it should be happening now.

Gu Jiu (slapping the table to get up): Duan Qing named you!

Duan [-]: I just think that I should be more honest if I am not a human being. I should say things that are not human and do things that are not human.

Gu Jiu: ... (falling down)
