Han Dan

Chapter 18

After a while, the white snow blurred in front of my eyes, revealing a door.

The door opened, and Gu Qinghe walked out from inside.

"You're back, and I'm worried that you got lost outside!" Gu Qinghe pulled Gu Qingmian over, looked him up and down, and decided from the bottom of his heart that he had suffered a lot outside, "God, where did these robes come from?" , and wearing such a fancy hair tie—”

Gu Qingmian said with a sneer: "It's not possible."

"Why not?" Gu Qinghe nodded to the two gatekeeper disciples, and pulled him forward, "Your boy made me anxious and reported it to the Patriarch. He will definitely send someone to find you."

Gu Qingmian smiled: "Yes."

Didn't they send someone to look for him?

"But you're lucky." Gu Qinghe said, "Perhaps it's because the Sword Tomb opened earlier and the succession ceremony was postponed. If you miss this again, then..."

Gu Qinghe sighed twice, and called out the flying sword.

The disciples on both sides recited formulas in their mouths, and a long wind suddenly picked up and rolled straight into the door.

"Second masters, please—"

Gu Qinghe stepped on the long sword, stretched out his hand and pulled him up, "Let's go."

The saber rose against the wind, and frost and snow suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.After entering the mountain gate, there is a cave behind, towering mountains and white snow.In the distance, the main peak of Qinghan Mountain towers high, with a sword of Qinghan hanging above it.The sharp edges of the two were facing each other, pointing directly at the Qinghan Hall in the middle.

The cold wind is howling, and the sky is boundless.The mountains and rivers stretch under the sky, with ups and downs.The long steps are like crouching dragons hovering, low down and high up.Two or three ice lanterns are lit beside the steps, which are translucently cold, encircled by a single piece of warmth, and reflect red plums like blood.From time to time, there are patrolling disciples passing by with their swords, their shapes are neat and their swords are bright.Flying in a snow robe, almost the same color as Liuyun.

Occasionally, a few teams passed by them, and would stop to salute Gu Qinghe.

The two returned the gift one by one.

Gu Qinghe took him back to Gu Qingmian's cave.The Dongfu is still impoverished, so dull that it has no characteristics.A tattered straw mat, full of stacks of manuscripts.The stone table was stained with ink, scattered with bamboo slips on rice paper, pressed with spirit stones.Books of alchemy were piled high and lined up in the corner.There are also a few pens with bald hairs hanging on the wall, and some of them were hung when the ink was still wet, so there were a few ink marks on the wall.

The phantom leaves are scattered on the ground, and several bundles have been screened and bundled.Exactly the same as when he left.

Gu Qinghe: "You rest here for a while, and I'll report to the Patriarch so that he doesn't need to send someone to look for it—he's been troublesome for a while."

"Wait first." Gu Qingmian said suddenly, he looked around and finally asked: "Qinghe, why have you been following me all this time?"

Gu Qinghe was taken aback, feeling strange, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Yo, you kid will meet up with you when you go out for a while - what's the reason? You and I were brought back by grandpa one after another, and we all started from mortal cultivation. Ask why?"

Gu Qingmian smiled, he took a long breath, maybe he felt a little tired.He looked outside the cave, saw the snow all year round, and the ice lamps, like countless pairs of eyes, felt cold and tired.

So he asked himself and answered, "You were sent by Gu Ziqing to monitor me."

Gu Qinghe froze in place.He was incredulous: "What nonsense are you talking about—"

However, Gu Qingmian looked at him.Those eyes that were always smiling and confused looked at him soberly and indifferently.

Gu Qinghe didn't continue.

Gu Qingmian smiled: "As for Guanli's postponement of the succession ceremony - the head of Qinghan Temple has been appointed by the head disciples for generations, but I remember that there are exceptions. It seems that a long time ago, there was a rule set by the head, as long as anyone who can drive the Qinghan Sword , if you have good conduct and no major mistakes, you can directly succeed the head."

"And it just so happens that the double sword heart and soul sword are one, and can drive all long swords by nature, but it can only exert half of its effect—"

"This is the reason why Gu Ziqing brought me into Qinghan Temple, right?"

Qinghan Temple in Qinghan Sword Town, the Qinghan Sword Qi envelops the entire sect, protecting 88 mountain ranges and [-] main peaks.Where the sword energy passes, the world is icy and snowy, and frost is flying in June.Only the plum blossoms are steep and still on the branches.

A full house of flowers drunk three thousand guests, a sword of frost and cold fourteen states.

But such a sword, but no one can drive it.The Qinghan sword is the first class among the immortal soldiers. It can cooperate with the method of defending the formation and attack anyone who has evil thoughts about Qinghan Temple.It gave Qinghan Temple the supreme blessing for nearly ten thousand years.However, the head of Qinghan Guan couldn't actively use Qinghan Sword like the Jinghualing of Huanhuajing, or the Yunxiao of Yunxiaozong.

Therefore, the double sword heart in the Qinghan concept is almost like the mirror flower order in the Huanhua realm.

"You are waiting, waiting for me to arrive at Mahayana. At that time, there will be enough spiritual power to activate Qinghan Sword and seize the position of master, right?"

"The reason why Guanli wants to postpone the succession ceremony is because you are afraid that I will be found out by others as a double sword heart. You are afraid that others will use me like you to seize the position of head of Qinghan Temple, or even - to seize Qinghan sword .”

That's why he pressed again and again, pressing not to ascend to Mahayana.Because according to the rules of Guanli, only Mahayana monks are eligible to compete for the position of head.So he wanted to wait until Ji Yao succeeded, and it would not be too late to make a breakthrough.At that time, even if the Gu family wanted to push him up, they would have to wait for Ji Yao to step down when he was old.

But don't want to, but don't want to--

Gu Qingmian smiled and said, "Patriarch, do you think so?"

A cold snort came.A barrier in the cave was revealed, revealing the person hiding behind.That person was wearing a snow robe, but there were no red plums on the robe—the Patriarch of the Gu family, Gu Liao.

He said coldly, "You did it on purpose?"

Gu Qinghe took a step back in shock.He turned his head and said to Gu Qingmian: "Qingmian, you—"

Gu Qingmian stopped him, and said with a smile: "Yeah, I didn't want to leave, I just walked together for a while and then came back. But I didn't want to, the trump card that Gu Ziqing worked so hard to find for the Gu family, turned around and was given to the Qinghanguan sect by you. "

"The Gu family has changed to you as the head of the family, but it is also a tragic disaster."

Gu Liao couldn't hold his breath at all, but his face changed drastically at this moment.However, Gu Qingmian smiled and continued regardless.

"You are really worried, afraid of losing the double sword heart, so you just told the head of my identity, and you want to look for it together, don't you?" Gu Qingmian walked up to him and grinned, "But you said, Doesn't the head want this sword? Do you think he will really cooperate with the Gu family?"

The Gu family didn't plan to cooperate with the sect leader at the beginning, so they didn't know that Bai Mingyu had been accepted by the sect leader, so they chased Cheng Zhou by mistake.But I couldn't find him, Gu Qingmian, and I was afraid that I couldn't hold back anymore.So they cooperated with the head, so the succession ceremony was also postponed - no matter how old the Gu family was, they couldn't make such a big move in the succession ceremony of Qinghan Temple.

"You can't see through the things that Gu Sanqing knows. You have figured it out." Gu Qingmian smiled and turned back, looking at the door, "I don't know how many organs are set up outside this cave, and how many barriers are inside. Today, I'm afraid Is it just going in or out?"

How could the head give up his first apprentice, Ji Yao who is about to succeed him?Gu Qingmian will definitely be trapped here so that the grand ceremony can proceed smoothly.

After Gu Qinghe listened, he drew his sword and chopped off the sword energy.However, that touch of coldness quickly faded away, annihilated in the chaos of shadows.

Gu Qinghe: "Maze?"

Gu Qingmian didn't try, just swayed to his tattered bed, lay down, and crossed his legs: "The head of the family doesn't need to hide it anymore, everyone who brought him should show up."

He raised his eyelids, and said with a leisurely smile: "Pindao is a alchemist. The Patriarch even dares to move things in the Pindao's house, and he is not afraid of touching anything, so that he will get fishy all over his body."

"Gu Qingmian!" Gu Liao was annoyed, "You——since you know, you still hide? The Gu family has raised you for so long, is this how you eat and go out?"

Gu Qingmian smiled, lay on her back and raised her hand, and said, "The Patriarch of the Gu family is so honorable, and you are indispensable in the succession ceremony. This labyrinth should only impoverish the poor, not the patriarch."

"please."

Gu Liao stared at him coldly, but Gu Qingmian looked at each other with a smile.Gu Liao sneered, and four or five elders came out behind him.Gu Liao: "Gu Qingmian, I'll give you another chance, think about it carefully, where should you stand?"

"Oh." Gu Qingmian smiled with her feet turned upside down, "I don't understand what the Patriarch is saying. Is the poor boy just lying down?"

Gu Qinghe wanted to laugh, but held back.

Gu Liao gave him a gouged look, and reprimanded: "Things that can't support the wall are just mud embryos that our ancestors picked up from the mortal world. Do you really take yourself seriously?"

Just as Gu Qinghe was about to refute, Gu Qingmian first smiled and said: "Yes, the poor way is a rotten muddy quagmire in the mortal world. So if you want to deal with the poor way, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it—"

"Leave only a hand of dirty water."

"Please, Patriarch." Gu Qingmian smiled heartlessly, "If you meet Sect Leader Song on the way, tell him the words."

Do you want him to be the "Mirror Flower Order" of Qinghan Temple?Enjoying the so-called "honor" trapped in a cage?

joke.

He had had enough of these days when he was a mortal, but now that he has cultivated the way of immortality, how could he be willing to repeat the same mistakes?

Gu Qingmian repeated again: "Please, Patriarch."

Gu Liao: "You—"

Before he finished speaking, an elder behind him turned dark and spit out blood.

Gu Qingmian let out an "ahhh" and said embarrassedly: "Poverty Dao has always passed by, and this wall is not very clean. It is a grievance for the elder to touch it so carefully. Please help him up quickly, so as not to pollute the Patriarch. Right? ?”

Gu Liao was so angry that his face was livid, Gu Qingmian continued to laugh and said: "It's only three things, my lord, please."

As the words fell, the ink on the wall evaporated, and black air came out.Knowing that he was not joking, Gu Liao uttered a harsh word and took him away.

Gu Qingmian laughed and touched the red string in her hair.However, Gu Qinghe stood there, thought for a while, and took two steps closer.

Gu Qingmian lay on his back: "What? Want to be poisoned to death by the poor?"

Gu Qinghe stopped, but said: "I was indeed sent by Grandpa to watch over you."

"It's just watching you, not spying on you."

Gu Qingmian was taken aback for a moment, and he turned his head away.Gu Qinghe actually also lay down, lying beside him and said: "Before today, I didn't even know that you are a double sword heart. This kind of secret has always been passed on to the patriarch. I am a mere elder of Danshan, how can I know?"

He sighed: "I was a child of a poor family since I was a child. There was a drought in my family, so I was traded for food. Gu Ziqing picked me up by chance and brought him back. He said that I had a strange bone and was very good at swordsmanship. I got a child who is talented and intelligent, and sooner or later I will be accepted into the sect. I was afraid that he would be a mortal and would not adapt to the fairy sect in the future, so he accepted me as a playmate."

Gu Qingmian: "You never told me."

Gu Qinghe: "I told you, would you believe me?"

The two were silent for a while, and the maze outside the house disappeared, returning to silence.It's like the whole life of the two of them, one trapped in the house and the other trapped in the maze.

Gu Qinghe said: "I know that you and Sanqing don't like Grandpa, and Qingzhi, Qingli, and Qingxi are also indifferent. But——I like it very much."

If it weren't for Gu Ziqing, he would have starved to death long ago, or would have lived his whole life in poverty.How can I be so comfortable and happy now, practicing swordsmanship and seeking immortality?

He respects him, he likes him, and he keeps practicing swords, hoping to be able to bear the phrase "extremely suitable for swordsmanship".He went to him from time to time to talk to him, even though Gu Ziqing didn't like to talk.

"Do you know, Qingmian. He actually likes you and Sanqing very much. He said that you and Sanqing are smart, and the situation of the Gu family is not optimistic. If he can choose a patriarch from the two of you in the future, he will be relieved."

Gu Qingmian laughed, but said: "But he never asked, which of us wants to be the head of the house?"

Gu Qinghe said: "He originally thought it would be Sanqing. Sanqing has always been seeking power, and his methods are ruthless, and he is also used to buying people's hearts. It is very suitable to be the head of the family."

Gu Qingmian smiled: "Really?"

"That's right." Gu Qinghe said, "It's a pity—he has complained about Gu Qingliao countless times, saying that he is a body of all kinds, and has always been able to tolerate all kinds of things in the world, but he is also prone to distracted thoughts and be trapped by foreign things. Such a person , should not have entered the world of mortals. Otherwise, Hui would be easily injured, and his life would be too long to worry about."

"It's a good seedling to become an immortal, but it was delayed by Master Liao."

"Delay?" Gu Qingmian laughed again, "No—Qinghe. For his own good, this 'he' has to feel good, otherwise, no matter how touching the world, it's just for his own comfort and his own good."

After he laughed, he got up and said, "Ah, my hands are itchy, I need to make a pill for a while. If you see a grand ceremony being held outside, remember to remind me."

He took out some herbs and started tossing.

It was only then that Gu Qinghe realized: "Wait, are you a Mahayana?"

Gu Qingmian: "Yes."

Gu Qinghe: "You——broke the devil?"

Gu Qingmian turned her head sideways: "What?"

Gu Qinghe waved his hands, put his forehead on his forehead and smiled wryly: "Grandpa didn't tell me about your physique, but told me to always pay attention to you. Because you are also a person who is not suitable for entering the world of mortals."

"He called me there before he ascended to immortality. At that time, I felt that his complexion was not very good. I asked him why, but he didn't say anything. He just told me to watch over you carefully. He told me——"

"From great fortune to great misfortune, from great misfortune to great blessing, they are all obstacles in the world. It's not that Qingmian can't see through, it's just that if you see too much, it may not be a good thing."

"People in the world always say that a sword is strong and easy to break. But they always forget that if it is not strong, how can it be considered a sword?"
