Picking up a greedy snake [Liao Zhai]

Gu Huai looked at the black water that was getting closer and closer to him, and backed away in panic.

He began to involuntarily imagine the scene after his death in his mind. He thought of Erqing crying in grief after discovering his body. He thought of his old father's gray hair overnight after hearing the news of his death...

He trembled all over, and clenched his fists calmly - he must not die here.

There is not much time left for him now, if he doesn't do something, all of them will inevitably die.

What to do... Gu Huai kept flashing what he had heard in the past two days in his mind.

It seems that the purpose of the resentful soul coming here is only one - revenge.As for the target of revenge, there should be only two, one is the dead Hu Ying, and the other is Song Yushu.

So, is it true that as long as Song Yushu dies, everyone else can be saved?

Gu Huai slowly raised his head to look at Song Yushu, his slender eyelashes cast a shadow in his eyes.

Song Yushu's whole body was shocked by Gu Huai's eyes, and a chill came from behind him.He stammered and said: "Nephew Xianxian...don't look at me like this."

Gu Huai clenched his fist tightly with one hand, his nails pierced into the flesh, leaving a few deep marks on the palm of his hand.

He took a deep breath, looked away from Song Yushu, and a layer of fearful cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

Compared with death, what frightened him more was the dark and terrifying thought that suddenly appeared in his heart just now.Just now, he clearly wanted to push Song Yushu into the black water. He wanted to sacrifice other people's lives to save his own.

Just now he even thought confidently in his heart that this was Song Yushu's fault in the first place, the others were innocent, and he was obliged to use his life to repay the debt he owed.Therefore, even if he killed Song Yushu himself, it could only be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.

Gu Huai lowered his eyes, not knowing when he became like this.Maybe it was because he had suffered too much in this dangerous world, which cast a thick shadow over his heart.

He shook his head, he didn't want to become like this, he didn't want to become unrecognizable after struggling in this world.

He wants to save everyone, but he doesn't want to take other people's lives with his own hands.Whether Song Yushu lives or dies has nothing to do with him, but he can't live for himself, so he will be the executioner who pushes others into the abyss.

There must be some other way... He tightly wrapped his arm around the bamboo ladder anxiously.

Suddenly, he felt something hard on his arm against himself.His eyes lit up, and he almost didn't remember that there was a knife hidden in his sleeve.

No one knows the magic of that knife better than himself. Perhaps, this magical knife can save all of their lives.

Gu Huai decisively pulled out the knife from his sleeve.Today, the air is almost filled with black and purple resentment.Just as Gu Huai drew out the knife, the knife stretched out with a "swoosh", shining a dazzling silver light in the black-purple air.

Heishui climbed up the bamboo ladder, and Gu Huai directly slashed at the bamboo ladder.The bamboo ladder broke at the sound, and Gu Huai's body fell down uncontrollably.

There was a terrified scream from the roof, and some timid maids even covered their eyes with their hands.

However, Gu Huai did not fall into the terrible black water.The black water where he fell receded instantly, and Gu Huai turned over and stood firmly on the ground.

Gu Huai raised his sword and pointed at the water on the ground, angrily said: "What kind of monster are you? Why do you want to hurt so many lives?"

The water was forced to retreat continuously by the silver-white sword energy, and finally gathered into a tall water wall.

Gu Huai looked at the shimmering, trembling water wall, and said softly, "Madam, what exactly do you want to do? Is it your wish to let so many innocent people die?"

The water wall trembled suddenly, and then let out an old and stern roar.He rolled up a burst of black resentment and launched an attack on Gu Huai.

Gu Huai quickly dodged to the side, narrowly dodging the attack.The mass of resentment flitted around him and penetrated the wall behind him.

Gu Huai gritted his teeth, took the knife and rushed towards the water wall, slashing straight down.

Half of the water wall was cut off by the long knife, but it still stood there as if nothing had happened. The remaining half gradually stretched and expanded, and returned to its original shape.

Suddenly, several jets of black and purple water quickly attacked Gu Huai from all directions.

Gu Huai couldn't dodge at all, seeing that he was about to be pierced by the water jet, he closed his eyes.

The expected pain did not come, and with a few crisp cracking sounds, a heart-piercing wailing of an old woman pierced through the water wall.

Gu Huai slowly opened his eyes.He saw Lan Yuyan standing in front of him, holding the long gleaming green whip in his hand, looking angrily at the water wall.

Gu Huai's heart instantly returned to his stomach.He leaned against Lan Yuyan as if he was exhausted, and said with a little blame: "Why did you come back now?"

Lan Yuyan turned her head to look at Gu Huai, rubbed her head on her shoulder, and said softly, "I'm sorry, don't worry, I'm back, everything will be fine."

Gu Huai asked: "Where's the girl in the East Courtyard? How is it? Also, didn't the ghost go to the East Courtyard just now? Why did it appear here again?"

Lan Yuyan said: "It's a long story, I'll tell you when I get back, let's get rid of the monster in front of us now."

After that, he swung the bone whip in his hand vigorously.The water wall retreated tremblingly, but was still hit by the bone whip.

There was a loud noise of "dong", and the water wall shattered in response.It split into countless water droplets and sprinkled everywhere in the yard.

Lan Yuyan quickly picked up Gu Huai, and led him into the air.

The countless water droplets splashed on the people on the roof, and there was a scream of piercing clouds and cracking stones.People turned into scorched black corpses one after another, and fell to the ground with distorted faces.

Song Yushu backed away in horror, but was still hit by a jet of water.He screamed, "Help..."

Before he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly, and the whole person turned into a charred corpse.

When Gu Huai saw the scene in front of him, his eye sockets were swollen sorely.He desperately squeezed Lan Yuyan to hold his hand, struggling and kicking in his arms.

Lan Yuyan was impatient by Gu Huai's lack of cooperation, so she pinched Gu Huai's jaw and shouted fiercely, "What do you want to do? Go down and save people? It's up to you?"

Gu Huai turned his gaze away sadly, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"You can't take care of yourself, so what else do you care about other people?"

Gu Huai choked up and said, "Can't you save people? Don't you have the ability?"

Lan Yuyan's hand intensified a bit, pinching Gu Huai's cheek sorely. He leaned close to Gu Huai's ear and said viciously, "I won't save them, because I want to make sure you are safe. Give me Be sensible and don't make me angry."
