Reborn Enemy

silence.

The surrounding area was so quiet that the sound of time passing could be heard. For a long time, the people inside didn't speak anymore. The sound just now seemed to be just an illusion.

Gu Pinglin collected himself and stepped into the hall.

The inside of the hall is somewhat spacious, with pearls inlaid on the beams, shrouded in light blue pearl light, there are seven pillars on the left and right sides of the hall, and there are two half-person-high stone platforms in the corner, on which there are incense burners, the incense is lingering, even It is quiet.

On the high steps directly opposite, the pure white veil hangs down, and there is a faint figure behind the curtain.

"An accident?" The voice suddenly sounded again.

Gu Pinglin choked for breath.

There was an imperceptible coldness in Rongrong's smile, it was indeed the same voice, but it seemed a little different, and the invisible pressure seemed familiar.

Gu Pinglin stared at the figure inside the white veil, and asked, "Who are you?"

"The master of the Sword King Pavilion, the master of the pavilion."

"name."

"The owner of the pavilion is the owner of the pavilion," said the person on the other side, "the name is just a code name and can be changed at any time. Fengjian Twelve may become Fengjian Eleven tomorrow. I can say that I am called Chen Qian or Bu Shuihan. Even Gu Pinglin, or—" He paused: "Duan Qingming."

Even though he had been prepared for a long time, Gu Pinglin was still silent when he heard this name: "In that case, why don't you show up?"

"Everything in the pavilion has a price, and seeing me is very expensive," the person opposite said slowly, "Besides, are you sure you want to see me?"

familiar tone.Gu Pinglin tightened his fingers, his eyes were sharp: "What do you want?"

The person opposite asked, "Are you afraid?"

Gu Pinglin remained silent.

The person on the other side said: "It seems that you really don't want me to live."

Gu Pinglin said: "I thought you already understood this."

The person on the other side mocked himself: "Yes, how can you feel guilty?"

"Of course," Gu Pinglin said calmly, "You did it yourself."

"Oh?"

"Isn't it?"

The person on the other side paused, and said: "But at least, we used to be brothers in the same school."

Gu Pinglin was silent for a long time, then suddenly sneered: "The news network of Jianwang Pavilion is indeed very powerful, and they can even inquire about our affairs so clearly."

The person on the other side said calmly, "What do you mean?"

"It means, have you tested enough, Your Excellency?" Gu Pinglin walked to the center of the hall, "You have been paying attention to my reaction from the beginning, and you have been using ambiguous words to lure me. Keep trying, it's perfect."

"Is there a flaw?"

"No, there are too many."

After a long while, the person opposite laughed softly: "Hey, I made a mistake, but does your reaction prove that there is something else going on in the Penglai matter?"

Gu Pinglin said: "Continue to test?"

The tone of the person on the other side became cheerful, sweeping away the previous attitude: "It seems that you will not be fooled again."

Gu Pinglin breathed a sigh of relief, and frowned secretly.

If it was that person, it would be impossible for him to make such unnecessary temptations, and it is even more impossible for him not to know the truth about the siege, but...it is too similar.

The person opposite said with a smile: "Forget it, let what happened just now pass, and the head of Gu condescends to come, and the Sword King Pavilion is full of brilliance."

Gu Pinglin decisively put aside his emotions when he heard the words: "Presumably the pavilion master has already guessed my reason for coming."

"That little Yujian really can't do things well, and you got me into it," said the opposite humanely, "As expected of a member of Yujian Pavilion."

Gu Pinglin said: "How about Yujiange?"

The person on the other side said: "Yujian, it's just that the sword technique is full of flaws, as if the roof is leaking rain, and almost all the people in Yujian Pavilion are like this."

Thinking of Yujian 33's swordsmanship, Gu Pinglin's mouth twitched: "This metaphor is indeed novel."

The person on the other side asked: "Are you interested in that Xiao Yu Sword?"

Gu Pinglin didn't deny it: "It's a pity that the temptation of the way of the sword is no match for his loyalty to the Sword King Pavilion."

"The loyalty of trash is not worth mentioning," said the other person, "besides, he even brought your eyes and ears into the Sword King Pavilion."

Gu Pinglin said: "No, Lan Feiyu came here with sincerity, he will become a very useful pawn in the Sword King Pavilion."

"I don't lack chess pieces here," said the opposite humanely, "Perhaps it would be more useful to sell him to Moyu."

Gu Pinglin said: "The people who defected were betrayed when they turned around. The pavilion master doesn't plan to continue doing business?"

"Master Gu is really my bosom friend," said the person opposite with a smile, "That's right, you sent Lan Feiyu to me on purpose. If I don't see you, then send him away. Wouldn't it be a disappointment to your painstaking efforts?"

"The pavilion master is too worried. If you don't want to see him, how can he see you? I didn't expect him to inquire about the news." Gu Pinglin smiled slightly, and suddenly raised his palm.

The white veil in front was torn off by the volley!

In the blink of an eye, Gu Pinglin disappeared from the spot and appeared on the steps.

Without the cover of the white curtain, the situation on the steps can be seen at a glance. There is a beautifully carved seat in the middle, but there is only a sleeping man in black in the seat. The man in black has a musical note on his shoulder.

"Master Gu completely demolished my Sword King Pavilion." A chuckle sounded from the notes of the autobiography.

Gu Pinglin threw away the white veil, with his hands behind his back, and quickly glanced around: "How dare, if the pavilion master takes action, I have no chance to tear it down."

The pavilion master said: "First use Lan Feiyu to confuse me, then expose my temptation, let me relax my vigilance, and then take advantage of my unpreparedness to attack, this trick is skillful, if I hadn't been prepared, I would have I've been fooled, it's inappropriate for the first time meeting, head Gu to be so rude."

Gu Pinglin said: "Isn't it impolite to use Xin Ji to ruin my business?"

"Sure enough, I'm here to settle accounts," the pavilion master smiled, "Sword King Pavilion collects money to do business, and has no intention of targeting Gu Sect. I hope you don't misunderstand, but you are so impatient to confirm my identity...you are still doubting in your heart, Or do you think I am him?"

Gu Pinglin said: "If you are not, why hide?"

The pavilion master's tone became light: "You can see me if you want, but have you ever thought that if I were really him, would I want to see you?"

If it was him, would he meet himself?Gu Pinglin was in a daze for a moment.

The pavilion master said: "Maybe he is very disappointed in you and thinks that you are no longer worth paying attention to."

Gu Pinglin was silent for a moment, then said coldly: "The pavilion master is really persevering in testing me."

"Do you still want to see him while fearing his revenge?" The pavilion master smiled, "Don't worry, I really have nothing to do with your senior brother Duan, it's just your reaction that made me unable to help but wonder what happened to Penglai Island back then." Got interested."

interest?Gu Pinglin didn't answer the topic: "I heard that the Sword King Pavilion accepts various businesses from outsiders. I'm here this time, and I want to make two deals with the owner of the pavilion. What's your idea?"

The owner of the pavilion said happily: "Of course, I am a businessman, there is no reason to refuse door-to-door business, please tell me."

Gu Pinglin said: "I heard that the pavilion master has a lot of news, I want to buy two news, the first one is about Wanfamen."

The pavilion master said: "The news about Wanfamen is more expensive, one lottery coin per news."

Gu Pinglin threw out a colorful feather coin.

"Master Gu is refreshing, I like refreshing guests," the pavilion master said, "What news do you want to know about Wanfamen?"

Gu Pinglin said: "The person behind the scenes asked you to prevent me from going to Baitou Mountain Lingyan, what is his ultimate goal?"

"This question is really embarrassing for me," the pavilion master laughed. "You are also probing. If I answer it, wouldn't it be tantamount to admitting that the person behind the scenes is from Wanfamen?"

Gu Pinglin didn't answer: "He knew that I might go to the spiritual eye, or he thought I would discover some secrets in Baitou Mountain, so he asked you to deal with me. This person knows me very well."

The pavilion master sighed: "Yes, it is not easy for us to complete the task if we want to deceive such a smart person as you."

"What task?" Gu Pinglin said, "Misleading me with spiritual eyes?"

"Oh?"

"Baitou Mountain's spiritual eyes are normal. You asked Yujian 33 and Xin Ji to stop me, just to make me think that there is something wrong with the spiritual eyes, and lead me to pay attention to the spiritual eyes."

The sound transmission note was silent for a while.

Gu Pinglin didn't care about his reaction, and continued on: "I guess, the key is not in the spiritual eyes. The people behind the scenes are afraid that I will find out other secrets, so they asked you for help. You want to use other things to divert my attention." Pay attention, it happened that I was suspicious of spiritual eyes at the time, if what I suspected was not spiritual eyes, Xin Ji and the others would still show up to stop them."

After a long while, the pavilion master spoke again, with a smile in his voice: "This is your guess, the Sword King Pavilion cannot betray guests, this is the rule."

Gu Pinglin said: "Then answer the previous question, what is his purpose?"

"I refuse this business," the pavilion master said in a regretful tone, "Someone paid the money first, and let me keep it a secret. You are slow."

Gu Pinglin said: "It means, you know the answer?"

The pavilion master said: "This is another question."

Gu Pinglin didn't ask, and said calmly: "Then change it, what's your position on this matter, or Sword King Pavilion?"

"That's a question," the Pavilion Master paused for a moment, "Thanks to Master Gu for looking up to our Pavilion, but I'm actually just a trivial businessman. Whoever has money will benefit more. over there."

"really?"

"The news that Master Gu offered a high price to buy it is certainly not false."

Gu Pinglin nodded: "I hope the pavilion master can remember today's answer, and I will leave."

The owner of the pavilion asked to stay: "Blood Moon Miasma Valley has a unique scenery, it is rare for Master Gu to visit, why don't you stay in the valley for a few days and enjoy it?"

Gu Pinglin asked back: "If I stay, will the pavilion master personally accompany me?"

The pavilion owner said regretfully: "Unfortunately, the pavilion has been busy recently, and it is really difficult to get out, but Xiao Yujian will entertain the distinguished guests for me, or Lan Feiyu can also."

Gu Pinglin said decisively: "Then there is no need."

"Master Gu, don't worry, you and I will meet sooner or later," the pavilion master paused, "It probably won't be too long."

"Huh?" Gu Pinglin frowned when he heard something wrong.

"Seeing off the guests." The pavilion master said warmly.

There was no wind, but the multicolored feather coins floated from the ground, as if supported by an invisible force, and flew down to the carved seat, which was the strongest sword intent.

The man in black on the seat had just woken up, he stood up and respectfully saluted Gu Pinglin: "Please, honored guest."

Coming out of the main hall, it was just the beginning of the day outside, and the sun was still bright. This time Gu Pinglin did not walk up the cliff like when he came up. There was a crane outside the hall, and the crane sent Gu Pinglin to the bottom of the cliff.

Both Yujian 33 and Lan Feiyu were missing, and it was another man in black who sent Gu Pinglin out of the valley.

Not far away, there was a man standing at the intersection ahead.

Gu Pinglin stopped when he saw him.

The visitor did not change his appearance, his face was like a jade crown, his temples were cut like knives, his eyebrows were handsome, his eyes were shining, he was wearing white arrow sleeves with borders, and a moon-white embroidered belt. Even though he was dressed plainly, he was still standing there The gesture of a nobleman.

"This subordinate has seen Sword Master Yun." The man in black went up to salute.

Gu Pinglin noticed that there was a white jade plaque hanging around his waist, engraved with the two ancient seal characters "Yunjian", thinking that people who came to the Sword King Pavilion would be identified by tokens.

Master Yun waved his hand, and the man in black quietly retreated to wait not far away.

Gu Pinglin bowed his hands politely: "Young Master Qi Shisan, please come here without any harm."

Qi Wan'er turned sideways to face him, but she just sneered and didn't return the courtesy: "Shang Ke, Sect Leader Gu must have lived a good life these years."

"Shang Ke," Gu Pinglin didn't seem to understand the irony in the words, and said without changing his face, "I haven't seen you for many years, I never thought you would be in the Sword King Pavilion."

Seeing that he was completely innocent, Qi Wan'er's face became even colder: "I'm not here to talk to you, but to ask you something."

Gu Pinglin said: "Oh? Please tell me."

Qi Wan'er said: "The Qi family passed by Penglai back then, did you attract them?"

Gu Pinglin said: "Not bad."

Qi Wan'er held back her anger and said, "You are using me for Duan Liu?"

"Senior brother Duan?" Gu Pinglin shook his head, "Of course not, he is my senior brother. When the incident happened suddenly, I had to expel him from the Lingxin sect, and I felt very guilty."

Qi Wan'er didn't believe it: "Then why did you lure the Qi family to Donghai?"

Gu Pinglin wondered: "Grandpa Ling didn't tell you? You must have a difficult road to leave the Qi family. Grandfather asked me to persuade you. I couldn't bear you to ruin your path, so I revealed your whereabouts. But later I saw your will. If you were firm, you changed your mind, that’s why I told you the news of their arrival and asked you to leave Penglai as soon as possible, but why did you throw yourself into the trap?”

Qi Wan'er was left speechless when asked.

Gu Pinglin didn't ask any further questions, and sighed: "Unexpectedly, you can really create a sword move. If my grandfather finds out, he must be very pleased."

He answered calmly, Qi Wan'er was not sure, she pursed her lips for a while, and then said again: "It's easy to improve sword moves, but difficult to improve kung fu." Her tone was a little gentler.

To be able to create the purest sword moves, his mind is indeed extremely pure.Gu Pinglin didn't test him like he did with Yujian 33, he just said: "The master of the pavilion is a genius, you will definitely gain a lot in the Sword King Pavilion."

It was rare for Qi Wan'er not to refute, and said: "Duan Liu's matter, you really didn't intervene?"

Gu Pinglin was puzzled: "How do you say that?"

"The Qi family was passing by, and Duan Liu had an accident. I just feel it's a coincidence." Qi Wan'er said bluntly, although he was simple, he was not stupid, so he would naturally be suspicious.

Gu Pinglin didn't ask too much: "The deceased is gone. Anyway, congratulations on fulfilling your wish. I can't stay for a long time now. If Brother Qi is free, why don't you go to the Lingxin Sect as a guest? Brother Bu also misses you and Brother Yao very much. Wouldn't it be nice to meet again after a long absence, and to learn swordsmanship?"

Qi Wan'er hesitated: "This..."

Gu Pinglin turned around: "Brother Yao."

Yao Feng emerged from the miasma, still wearing a simple blue cloth, he didn't speak, just nodded at Gu Pinglin, walked over to Qi Wan'er and stood still.

This person is not Qi Wan'er, everyone can see clearly.Gu Pinglin laughed: "Let's wait another day. The Lingxin faction welcomes you two as guests at any time, so I'm leaving."

Qi Wan'er finally bowed her hand: "No."
