refuse to be a teacher

Gu He's white face was shallow, and he seemed fearless and said: "You have flesh and blood, since you don't believe anything I say, you might as well try it yourself, lest you end up blaming me for talking nonsense."

Xue Lan was about to say something again because of the glint in her eyes, but she saw Yun Zhehuan, who was beside her in shock and doubt, came forward, pressed his shoulder heavily and said, "Lan Yin, don't listen to everything!" His. Who knows what kind of plan this person has in mind...Maybe, he wants to directly take the lives of the three of us here."

Gu Hebai raised his head silently, his eyes as dark as night were hidden under the heavy veil, only a pair of eyes as bright as day were filled with sharp brilliance like knives and swords at all times.

Staring at him deeply from the pillow, after carefully weighing and thinking about the two sides, finally coughed lightly, and suggested rationally: "Vice head Gu has painstakingly explained so many anecdotes and strange things to us. I want to prove the fact that the living sword people still exist today. Regardless of whether the authentic living sword can be found after the Jielong Seal is cracked, brother Lan Yin, the purpose of your walking with us this time...isn't it just to solve the mystery of your life experience? Right now? Someone has shown you the way, why don’t you try what he said.”

"Try? Tell me, how do you try it?" Xue Lan said as if playing with a delicate dagger that was more than an inch long in his hand, "letting my blood or something, how effective is it, who among you has not seen it before?" ?”

Gu He looked at him with raised eyebrows, and said: "The blood of the living sword must interact with the place where the Jielong seal is. Anyway, the Yuan Jingzhan is hidden somewhere deep in the ground, so you can give a drop or two in pain. If it works, it may not directly kill you."

Because Xue Lan didn't procrastinate after hearing this, she immediately raised the dagger across her fingers, and said decisively: "If you say you want to try, then try it. If anything goes wrong afterwards, you will be responsible for the consequences."

When Yun Zhehuan saw that he was really going to attack him, he panicked immediately, and hurriedly called out anxiously: "Lan Yin, don't!"

Unfortunately, halfway through the conversation, it was too late.The dagger/knife fell quickly and urgently, and the blade hit the slightly callused skin around the tip of Xue Lanyin's thumb.

Gu Hebai's breathing was stagnant as he watched from the sidelines, as if he was expecting something, he suddenly cast bright eyes on him——

However, the moment the fierce dagger/knife touched the fragile flesh, there was no expected bloodshed.

— Not to mention blood, the sharp blade was actually stuck between Xue Lanyin's white and red finger flesh, and he couldn't even peel off the outermost layer of skin.

"Damn it, Brother Cong, what's the matter with your broken knife?" Xue Lan said because of the sweat on his forehead, "It's been too long since you sharpened it, isn't it rusty?"

He snatched the dagger from the pillow, put it lightly in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully: "How is it possible... This is a self-defense weapon that I haven't let go of for several years. How can I say it rusts?"

Everyone lowered their heads in response to the words, and they saw that the top of the dagger was shiny, it was indeed a fierce thing that should not be underestimated, but when it was in Xue Lanyin's hands, it seemed to be hindered for no reason, unable to use its strength , also inseparable.

Suspicious for a moment, but Gu Hebai lost his patience in an instant, took a breath, pulled out the short sword at the side of his waist with a "chuo", handed it to Xue Lanyin without any explanation, and said, "Try it with me!"

Xue Lan glanced at him blankly, half pushed and half took the dagger and put it in his palm, but didn't strike immediately, his movements were slow and gentle, as if he wanted to fight fiercely with him and said: "What are you in a hurry for? It's me If you want to bleed, I will be the one who hurts, why do you look like you want to cut me into pieces?"

Gu He's brows were tightly frowned, his expression was cloudy and he said: "Anyway, it's just a knife, so why are you hesitating?"

Xue Lan let out a "tsk", but she didn't intend to quarrel with him any more, so she simply grabbed the short sword and threw it upwards, holding it firmly in the palm of her hand, swept it sideways, and looked at it without blinking. The most delicate piece of flesh above the fingertips was scratched——

But it was the short moment when the sword edge and the knuckles touched each other, a ray of silvery white light suddenly poured out from Xue Lan's cuff, and instantly circumvented a hard barrier like ice and snow around her, But after a while, Gu Hebai's thick and powerful dagger trembled violently, and flew out obliquely with a "Dang" sound and hit the stone wall behind him. , has been unintentionally embedded in the depth of several inches.

Surprised, Xue Lan raised her hand to caress her icy hair and skin for no apparent reason, and was immediately froze by the endless coldness, and quickly withdrew her hand back, wrinkling her brows and calling out bitterly : "Hiss... hey, it tortured me to death, what is this thing?"

"The Curse of Transforming Tribulation and Rebirth." Gu He said coldly in a white voice, "...it's Yan Jue!"

Xue Lan paused for a moment, and said, "What do you mean?"

"It's Yan Jue, who cast the curse of transforming calamity and replacing life on you!" Turning around and pulling out the short sword in the wall with force, Gu He's white eyes were filled with obvious anger and unspeakable annoyance at the same time, " This... damned devil, he has lived to this age, and not a day has passed since he was in a cocoon!"

Because the corner of Xue Lan's eyes twitched, Xue Lan asked subconsciously again: "The Curse of Transforming Tribulation and Rebirth, what kind of spell is it...?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Gu Hebai had raised his arms suddenly, and the dagger that was stained with gravel and gravel flashed coldly, almost without the slightest hesitation, he was slamming towards Xue Lanyin's chest. stab over.

Seeing this, Yun Zhehuan hurriedly screamed "Lan Yin be careful", and immediately brandished a waist knife to block it fiercely. Fortunately, Xue Lan was protected by the icy white cold air outside, but it was just Turning slightly to one side, countless silver-white air lights immediately formed a boundless wall of resistance, as if having an extremely strong self-awareness, just opened a long distance from Gu Hebai's fast and ruthless life-threatening dagger.

Even so, Xue Lan was still shaken by the majestic rainbow-like sword energy, staggered a few steps, and finally sat down on the wall in embarrassment, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

He raised his head suddenly, and happened to meet Gu Hebai's gloomy eyes full of hostility in front of him.

"Turning calamity into life is the literal meaning." Gu Hebai said, "The devil integrated his own true energy into your body, so that every pain you suffered before breaking the curse will be borne by him for most of it. .”

Xue Lan's pupils shrank suddenly, and then, as if conscious, she stretched out her hand to touch the sore wound on her waist that Yan Hao had pointed at.

Through a thin layer of clothing, one can clearly feel the continuous frost and snow chill coming from that tiny point.

That was... the familiar aura that Yan Jue had around him.

Because Xue Lan closed his eyes, a momentary feeling of helplessness and weakness came to his heart, and he was dragged into the bottomless darkness, and it was difficult to stretch out his hands for help.

Before leaving, Yan Jue was so angry that he even threatened to seal Xue Lanyin's meridians, making him unable to move even an inch.

But in the end, he still acquiesced in his series of almost unreasonable and stubborn behaviors.

——His silly master... How could he really be unnecessary.In the final analysis, they are all just talking in anger.

"When I made the first cut just now, you already saw the clue." Trying to restrain the slight tremor in her voice, Xue Lan squinted her eyes, fixedly staring at Gu He, who was calm under the white curtain. Face said, "You are eager to find out the truth, so you have been urging me to make a second cut, right?"

Gu Hebai didn't nod, but said in a flat voice: "I said earlier that Yan Jue will definitely come. And the second purpose of going down to the valley this time is to lure him to appear."

"I'm so sorry, Deputy Head Gu." Yun Zhehuan raised his knife with one hand, pointed at Gu Hebaizheng, and said, "You said it earlier in the morning. Chun—you are still the first to move the knife now, if I want to tear my skin apart and take your life, that is even more justified!"

While speaking, the long knife swung out immediately, kicking up countless dust along the way, whistling and struggling to pass over the cheeks, just like a gust of wind and rain.Seeing that the situation is not good from the pillow, she hurried up to stop her, but Yun Zhehuan has always been a staunch girl, she will do whatever she says, and never turn back.At this moment, slashing at the vital point of Gu Hebai's face with a saber will undoubtedly wipe out the trust relationship that has been barely established for a long time. I feared that she would be hurt in the slightest. To her merciless and violent swordsmanship.

For a moment, the two knives collided, and the sound of clanking after the metal rubbed almost penetrated the eardrums of people.

Yun Zhehuan's canthus cracked, and he couldn't help shouting loudly: "From the pillow, get out of the way!"

The steps from the pillow did not retreat at all, but increased the strength in his hand and said: "Zhe Huan, stop messing around!"

"I messed around?" Yun Zhehuan's breath was unsteady, and the corners of his eyes twitched, "You know that this person in front of you is not to be trusted, but why do you always stand by his side?"

How could Congzhen not understand Gu Hebai's ulterior motives?It's just that Jielong Seal is close at hand, and he is more willing to step on his opponent's head to kill two birds with one stone - but Yun Zhehuan, a stupid girl who always wants to poke a hornet's nest at critical moments, even if she worked hard earlier How much foreshadowing has been done, if she handles it again, it will definitely be a waste of money.

He frowned, unable to express his suffering, he could only forcefully order her in a deep voice: "Zhe Huan, put the knife away, it's not time to fight yet!"

Yun Zhehuan's face turned cold, his eyes were like blades and he said: "Congzhen, you are enough, don't act like a coward anymore! My Baiwu people always talk with knives, so why are you afraid of what a paper tiger with no soldiers will do?"

It took her a long time to calm down, and she said to her word by word: "Zhe Huan, you are the future leader of the clan! When you draw your sword, you represent the entire Northern Territory." Uzumaki!"

"So what?" Yun Zhehuan raised his blade, and said resolutely, "This old lady is chopping up this sly old dog thief today!"

The anger in her heart has been accumulated for a long time, and now she is venting, no one can move forward to intercept one or two, and she is about to swing a fatal knife from the pillow, when she suddenly hears a sharp grinding sound from the cracks in the broken stone above her head The sound of people's laughter, like a ghost's soul, rushed into the eardrums one after another crazily, causing her wrists to tremble, and she couldn't even control her movements. She slowed down, raised her head and looked up hurriedly, and repeatedly scolded: "Who is that?" Playing tricks there? Get out of here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the tense atmosphere that was originally tense with swords suddenly turned heavy. Even Gu Hebai, who had always been indifferent and indifferent, held his dagger with great vigilance, and reminded him with a seemingly good intention: "Everyone, be careful! .”

Just as Yun Zhehuan was about to turn around and spit at him, he opened his mouth halfway, and the soft and treacherous female voice above the stone wall resounded in his ears again: "You guys, don't you want to laugh people's teeth out of you? This hasn't reached the bottom of the valley yet. As for the business, my own people were the first to break their mouths, and they really put on a really good show!"

That voice was very familiar, and it was so sharp that it made people's scalp tingle.

Yun Zhehuan immediately recognized who it was, and the long knife in his hand deflected accordingly. He raised it up with brute force, pointed at the source of the sound and said, "... Yuan Jingzhan?"

There was no response at that time.

As if he had just acquiesced in this way, whether it was laughter or speaking, they all stopped abruptly in an instant.

From the pillow, he was unequivocal. After carefully looking around for a week along the stone cracks in the wall, he finally shook his head solemnly and said, "It must be Yuan Jingzhan...he took the skin of a girl's house, and his voice was so strange." Look, in the whole world, it's really hard to find someone who is exactly like him."

Xue Lan glanced sideways at Gu Hebai, and then said to the pillow: "Don't worry about anything else, first take these two disgusting and dirty thieves out, otherwise they will disturb people's cleanliness like flies all the time, it's strange .”

Seeing that the flames of war had temporarily ceased from the pillow, he couldn't help secretly breathing a sigh of relief, and after a while, he seemed to think of something again, turned to Gu Hebai who had been silent for a long time and said: "...Deputy head Gu, what do you think of this? Let's put aside the grievances on Mr. Yan's side, let's work together to completely subdue those two seal thieves, shall we?"

Gu Hebai raised his head in response, a pair of torch-like eyes under the veiled hat melted into the faint yellow paper lantern swaying slightly in his palm, as if a fire had ignited for no reason.

He didn't speak, and the dagger shining coldly in the dark was also fixed in mid-air, as if he didn't make any next move.

From the pillow, I feel that it is not easy to be a peacemaker caught in the middle.Even so, he still braced himself to put the knife into its sheath, and took the initiative to go forward to show kind words and said: "Vice head Gu, now the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark. If we really want to fight in the nest, I am afraid that the two of them will be in vain." After making the oriole behind the back, I will be full once!"

The expression on Gu Hebai's face was still flat.

At the same time, the paper lantern in his hand, which was getting weaker and weaker, flickered, struggled and fluttered twice, and finally went out completely.

In an instant, the originally dark underground space lost its only support, and fell into a boundless visual blind spot.
