Chapter 23 Apprentice, Seeking the Truth

That voice was dim, sinking in the blurred field of vision that covered the sky and the sun, as if soaked in the boundless sticky tide.

Because Xue Lan's heart skipped a beat, she hurriedly pulled Yun Zhehuan back a few steps one after another, but at the same time when she raised her eyes vigilantly, she saw Gu Hebai, who was dressed in dark clothes, raised his jaw from the darkness, slowly revealing Half of it is like a bottomless eye.

"It seems that Yan Jue is not with you." Gu Hebai said, "Where are the others?"

Xue Lan narrowed her eyes, and said in a cold voice: "What does it have to do with you? You have been sneaky and coaxed us all the way to this point, did you not suffer enough in the previous enchantment?"

"It doesn't matter if he's not here." Gu Hebai said casually, "As long as you are in my hands, I don't believe he won't show up in the end."

Xue Lan sneered for a while, and said contemptuously: "Vice-head Gu was severely injured by Ya Lingjian in Guli Town earlier, this time with one enemy and three of us, could it be that he is still planning to lure my master into the bait?"

Between the words, a fierce dagger/dagger was thrown from the pillow from mid-air, Xue Lan took it smoothly and held it firmly in the palm of his hand.

On the contrary, Gu Hebai didn't seem to have any murderous aura around him.He slowly backed away for a distance, then spread his hands, and said to Xue Lanyin without fear: "I used a lot of internal energy to push you back to the ground, but I didn't specifically fight with you here fierce."

Xue Lan thought to himself, what kind of Guiyi technique is this? It's almost the same as Guixi technique.The world is so big, and there are so many spells, he has never seen such treacherous spells that pull people into the ground, and in terms of behavior and style, they are not like the evil spells that the Lingtai Yijian School can create with one hand.

However, before he could think more about it, Gu Hebai stepped forward indifferently, lit a paper lantern, and took advantage of the opportunity to illuminate the cold stone walls in all directions: "Xue Erjin, you know What is this place?"

Xue Lan raised the dagger/knife in his hand and said: "I'm not interested in knowing... It's the same if you let us go up there."

Gu Hebai sneered, holding a paper lantern to illuminate his side face faintly and said: "Even if those two pirates have fled underground now, you are not interested in knowing?"

Xue Lan was startled when he heard the words, but seeing Na Cong's face congealed by the pillow, he couldn't help but push him aside, and said to Gu Hebai first: "According to the intention of Deputy Head Gu, Na Yuan Jingzhan and Ren Sui Did the two of them have nowhere to escape, and they just happened to be under this piece of land?"

Gu Hebai said: "Desperation is only one aspect, and the real reason lies in the special terrain here. You are newcomers, I am afraid that you do not know the deeper mysteries of Guli Town. As early as a hundred years ago, someone I deliberately searched for it once by using the method of return and transfer, and according to the content recorded in the ancient books, the underground space hidden under the town of Guli is at least nearly a hundred feet deep."

From a slight movement of the hawk-like eyes, he quickly made up his mind, and said suspiciously: "Vice head Gu tried so hard to lure us into this place, and now he is explaining the details of the terrain of Guli Town in a roundabout way—this one This move is really against common sense, can we use this to suspect that you have impure motives?"

Gu He laughed loudly and said: "That's right, my motives are indeed impure."

When the words fell, he saw that the weapons/weapons in the hands of the three people in front of him were cold, and Gu He's white eyes were condensed, and then he said in a low voice: "Everyone, no one of my senior brothers and sisters is standing by to stop me. If you really want to Let's fight, I don't care about the so-called foreign friendship!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt suddenly exploded in the originally peaceful and quiet midair.Yun Zhehuan, who has always been restless and impatient, could no longer hold back his urgency, raised his hand to hold the knife, and immediately said angrily: "Well, you are Gu Hebai, you are quite courageous when you look at those with evil eyebrows and mouse eyes? That's what you said Come on, why don't you and I give it a go, if you lose an arm or a leg at that time, don't blame me, the Baiwu people, for being immoral!"

In the middle of speaking, Yun Zhehuan suddenly felt his arms tighten, and suddenly turned his head, and was pulled from the pillow with force to pull him behind: "Zhe Huan, don't be impulsive!"

Yun Zhehuan's face turned blue, and he shouted with hatred: "From the pillow!"

I ignored her from the pillow, turned my head slightly, looked at Gu Hebai again and said: "Deputy head Gu, you just said that you didn't come here to fight in vain—since you didn't care about it early in the morning." , why do you keep trying to keep your mouth shut?"

Gu He's white eyes narrowed slightly: "This brother is a rare understanding person."

Cong Zhen said: "Vice head Gu has any conditions that he wants to talk about, but it's okay to say."

Gu Hebai's eyes turned, and he raised his jaw and squinted at the cold-faced Xue Lanyin and said: "In the end, I don't have any substantive requirements——I can even take you guys deeper underground until I finally find it." Yuan Jingzhan stopped Suiqian and the two of them in their tracks. But, the only condition is that you, Xue Erjin, you have to go down together and stay together."

Xue Lan pursed her lips strangely because of her complexion, and said, "I wanted to find out, but according to what you said... I don't really want to go. "

Gu Hebai shook the faint yellow and fragile paper lantern in his hand, and said clearly: "You have traveled all the way here, isn't it just to find a single Jielong Seal? I can personally guide you, but—— Who gets the seal, still needs to rely on their own abilities."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly heard a low laugh from the pillow, casually playing with the dagger that was out of its sheath, and said frivolously and menacingly in his words: "Deputy head Gu, there is an old saying in your Central Committee that is ' If you don’t have anything to do, it’s either rape or stealing’. You’d rather do this for the sake of it, it’s better to go down alone and swallow the Jielong Seal alone... But in the end, you still insist on dragging us into the water together, dare to ask your intentions this time , is it 'rape' or 'thief'?"

Gu Hebai was taken aback when he heard the words, then raised his head and laughed out loud.The laughter was ferocious and terrifying, like blunt knives sharpening each other. Xue Lan frowned in horror and wished she could cover her ears tightly.After laughing, his hoarse voice is especially irritating. If you listen carefully, it feels like someone has been scorched by a fire. It is low and weird, and it just makes people irritable.

"It's not a 'rape', nor a 'thief'!" He raised his hand and raised three fingers, and said loudly, "My reasons are only three points. If you still have doubts after hearing it, you can choose again. Come face to face with me."

Slowly holding the dagger from the pillow and placing it in the palm of his hand, he said, "Deputy head Gu just said it."

Gu Hebai nodded slightly, and said: "First, this place is the deepest part of the secret passage at the bottom of Guli Town, heading southeast directly to the bottom of Xixin Valley, which was originally an ancient god's domain. The perfect place for demons to practice Taoism - 16 years ago, it was destroyed by Yan Jue's evil skills, and now...it has been completely reduced to a forbidden place where demons disturb the heart. If you want to say that I am alone, I can indeed use Gui It’s easy to go down the ground with the technique of moving, but in the final analysis, no one can predict the risks of exploring rashly. It just so happens that you have the same purpose here today, it’s better to go together, and you can deal with it in time if you make a mistake. ?”

This Gu Hebai is worthy of being the deputy head of the Yijian Sect who supports the entire Lingtai One Sword Sect. After a set of long speeches, they are all sorted out in an orderly manner. If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find a certain truth hidden in it.

He raised his eyebrows from the pillow, and said calmly: "Heh, that's what Deputy Head Gu said, how can we trust you?"

Yun Zhehuan also raised his head and echoed: "You drag us to a place at random, and you refer to it as Xixin Valley, the ancient gods who practiced Taoism and became immortals in the past—we, a group of outsiders who are not familiar with the place, should just listen to it. Or should I just ignore it?"

Gu Hebai said convincingly: "As you have heard and seen, the second point is that the current God Realm has been destroyed, and the past is no longer there. The only thing left is the countless filthy atmosphere in the dark passages of the valley. Yuan Jingzhan Fleeing here with Jielong Seal all the way, it must be some clues of breaking the seal from crooked ways, so I desperately want to go to the most yin and evil place." After a pause, the three people in front of me met Suspicious in his eyes, he slightly raised his wrist, pointed to the bronze square box that never left his body from the back of the pillow, and said, "If you still don't believe it, you can use this artifact to confront it."

I didn't speak from the pillow anymore, I lowered my head and held out the bronze direction, and put it firmly in the palm of my hand, while Yun Zhehuan leaned forward knowingly, twisted his wrist at will, and took advantage of the opportunity to completely lift the lid of the box Open, almost without any hesitation.

The four of them managed to look down through the flickering paper lantern in Gu Hebai's hand, and they saw the needle lying motionless at the bottom of the box, and the needle pointed directly at the blurred southeast in the darkness. direction without any deviation.

In this way, Gu Hebai's every move with such a big fanfare suddenly turned into a reasonable and well-founded amidst all the voices of doubt, and he had to attract people's conviction.

The purpose of Congzhen is very obvious, he doesn't want anything except Jielong Seal, even if he has to intrigue with the enemy of Tiger Wolf Heart on the way, he can go willingly without complaint.At the same time, Yun Zhehuan was dubious about Gu Hebai's helping hand. Even though this person clearly expressed her initial motive and ultimate goal, she still found it difficult to accept that she had to be tied to the same rope as her former enemy. fact of life and death.

What's more, in the event of an internal struggle in the future, in a situation where the terrain is completely unfamiliar, the three of them join forces to deal with Gu Hebai, maybe they will be able to suppress it easily.

Therefore, Yun Zhehuan hesitated for a while, then simply turned his head to stare at Gu Hebai again and said: "Then tell me again, what is your third reason?"

Gu He's white eyes turned sideways, he squinted at her and chuckled and said, "The third point? I'm sure that it won't be long before Yan Jue will find this place—not to mention the location of the Dragon Seal in the future. , as long as we can catch this devil in our hands, are we afraid that the world will not be peaceful?"

When the words came out, the three of them were all shocked.

Xue Lan's complexion darkened due to the rare occasion, and she paused for a long time before saying in a low voice: "Master won't come, he...he can't come."

Now that all the meridians of Yan Jue's hands and feet have been sealed off, and his internal strength is almost exhausted, if he wants to struggle all the way to find this place, it may be something that no god can successfully complete.

What's more... Yan Jue is still angry with Xue Lan.

He sighed softly, and then emphasized again: "...Master will not come."

Gu Hebai lowered his head and unintentionally glanced at him, saying: "You still know too little about this demon."

Xue Lan said: "He is my master, not your master. What he wants to do has nothing to do with you."

Gu Hebai was stunned for a moment, then smiled instead of anger: "Xue Erjin, after so many years, your temperament has not changed at all." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and brushed his sleeves, put on a paper lamp and walked along the stone wall Qian Zhao said: "Forget it, it's useless to talk to you anyway... It's better to go on the road earlier, so as not to let those two pirates take the lead."

Because Xue Lan made him confused for a while, she frowned and thought about it, and finally stepped forward and followed quickly.

——He completely forgot certain memories of the past, but that was not the reason for him to stop going forward blindly.

There are too many truths he wants to know.

Xue Erjin's "death", Yan Jue's reckless rescue, the bloodshed of the Lingtai Yijian Sect, and the Xixin Valley, which has been mentioned many times...all the graciousness that happened 16 years ago Gratitude and resentment, obstinately stalking in front of his eyes, has become a cage that can never be contained.

He can't see through it, and he can't figure it out, but that doesn't mean he won't suffer from confusion.
