Fox Demon: Starts with Lu Zu template

When the familiar scenery came into view, Wang Quanbaiye realized that he had returned to Guanjiangkou again.

The Yang Mansion still stood silently in the mountains, but the presence of Yang Yitan and others could no longer be felt.

Obviously, they had been gone for a long time.

"Why am I here?" Wang Quan Baiye muttered to himself, but his steps unconsciously walked towards the back mountain.

After passing through a bamboo forest, a simple tombstone appeared before his eyes - it was the place where Yang Jian buried Gu Yi.

In front of the tombstone, a few wild flowers swayed gently in the wind, as if they had come to life.

Wang Quan Baiye stood in front of the tomb, feeling even more confused.

At this moment, the voice that had been lingering in my ears suddenly became clear:

"Are you going to challenge Wang Xianzhi too?"

The voice was so close, as if someone was standing behind him and speaking.

Wang Quan Baiye trembled all over and turned around suddenly, only to find that there was no one around.

"Who...who is it?" His hand unconsciously pressed on the sword of kingship, and he looked around vigilantly.

In the silent forest, there is only the rustling sound of wind blowing through leaves.

Just when Wang Quan Baiye thought he was hallucinating because he was too tired, the voice sounded again:

"It's me, I'm Gu Yi."

Wang Quan Baiye's pupils suddenly shrank, and his gaze suddenly fell back on the tombstone: "Senior, you... you are not dead?!"

"Well... I don't know what's going on." Gu Yi's voice seemed to come from the tombstone, with a hint of confusion.

"Can you tell me what happened...that day?"

Wang Quan Baiye took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

He recounted what happened after the duel between Gu Yi and Wang Xianzhi that day.

How Yang Jian took away Gu Yi's "corpse" and how he buried it in Guanjiangkou.

"That is to say, I was actually considered dead that day, and was taken away by the young man named Yang Jian you mentioned." Gu Yi's voice was full of thought.

"Then he brought me back here and buried me here, which means I am now lying in my own tombstone."

Wang Quan Baiye nodded. Although this statement sounded a bit strange, it seemed to be the truth.

Then, the person he met in Tushan suddenly appeared in Gu Yi's mind.

His intuition told him at first sight that the opponent was very strong!

Next, Gu Yi told his own experience.

It turned out that not long ago, he suddenly regained consciousness, but found that he could not move, as if he was trapped in darkness by some force.

At that time, he heard the conversation between Wang Quan Baiye and Yang Yitan, and learned that Wang Quan Baiye was going to challenge Wang Xianzhi.

At that time, he was unable to speak and could only watch everyone leave.

"I didn't expect you to come back today." There was a hint of relief in Gu Yi's voice.

"It seems there is a divine will."

Wang Quan Baiye squatted down and gently touched the tombstone with his fingers: "Senior, how do you feel now? Can you come out? Or should I rescue you?"

"No!" Gu Yi's voice suddenly became urgent.

"I can feel my body slowly recovering. If you dig me out now, I'll probably die again!"

Wang Quan Baiye withdrew his hand and frowned.

Although he didn't understand what means Yang Jian used, it was obvious that Gu Yi was in some special state.

If you interrupt them rashly, it may indeed backfire.

After a moment of silence, Gu Yi's voice sounded again: "By the way, have you really figured it out?"

Kingship knew what he was asking.

He stood up and looked towards the East China Sea. "Well, my father is almost at his wit's end, so I want to challenge Wang Xianzhi before he dies. This will also be a way to put an end to his worries."

A soft sigh came from the tombstone.

As someone who had once challenged Wang Xianzhi, Gu Yi knew better than anyone how terrifying the white-haired old man was.

In that battle, he tried his best but only managed to injure the opponent.

And in that battle, he still relied on the sword left by the old man, otherwise...

"Boy..." Gu Yi's voice became serious.

"Did you know that when I challenged Wang Xianzhi, he hadn't used his full strength in over a decade?"

Wang Quanbaiye tightened his grip on his sword: "I know."

"Then you know that even in my prime, I couldn't last more than three moves against him?"

"I know."

"and you......"

"Senior." Wang Quan Baiye interrupted him with a firm voice.

"Some things, even when you know they are impossible, must still be done! This is not a question of victory or defeat, but a swordsman's dignity and a son's love."

"Besides, weren't you like this back then?"

A long silence fell on the tombstone.

The mountain wind howled, ruffling the hair of the king's hegemony.

Yes, in order to fulfill the agreement with the old man, he went to Wudi City without hesitation.

Even if he ends up dead, no one will remember him...

But so what? All I want is a fight!

Finally, Gu Yi's voice sounded again, this time with a hint of smile: "Well, well, since that's the case, I won't try to persuade you anymore. But..."

His tone suddenly became mysterious, "There are some things I still need to tell you!"

Wang Quan Baiye's eyes lit up: "Please give me some advice, senior!"

"Wang Xianzhi's fist has reached the invincible level now. He lives in Wudi City and has the best timing. Now he has an invincible heart. Who in the world can be his rival?" Gu Yi said slowly.

"The right time?" Wang Quanbaiye was puzzled.

"Wang Xianzhi used Wudi City to forge an invincible heart that belongs to him alone. His state of mind has reached an invincible state. Even those at the same level cannot defeat him!" Gu Yi explained.

"Furthermore, he's from the Wudang sect, and his boxing style actually incorporates elements of Tai Chi! If you want to last a few moves against him, remember not to just force your attack."

Wang Quan Baiye nodded thoughtfully.

This principle coincides with the Tai Chi sword spirit he learned in Wudang.

"And...you should go..." Gu Yi's voice suddenly became weak.

"Senior! What's wrong with you?" Wang Quan Baiye hurried forward, but saw a faint golden light suddenly appear on the tombstone, and then it returned to calm.

"I'm fine. I'm just going to continue sleeping."

"Oh, what a pity! I can't see you challenge Wang Xianzhi with my own eyes..."

Chapter 187 The elegance of the sword of heaven and earth!

Silence returned to the mountains and forests again, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

But Wang Quan Baiye knew that it was indeed Gu Yi's voice. The swordsman who had left a stunning glimpse in his heart really "lived" in the tombstone in some special way.

"Yang Jian..." Wang Quan Baiye whispered the name.

"How many secrets are you still hiding?"

Wang Quan Baiye bowed deeply to the tombstone and turned to leave.

This time, his steps were more determined and the light in his eyes was brighter.

Gu Yi's words gave him new inspiration.

When challenging Wang Xianzhi, you don't have to win, but you must show the character of the Wang Quan family and the true meaning of kendo.

This is what my father really wants to see.

.........

.........

The mountain wind from Guanjiangkou was still howling, blowing the weeds in front of the tombstone.

Not long after Wang Quanbaiye left, a ray of silver light streaked across the sky and landed steadily in the backyard of the Yang Mansion.

The young man in silver armor put away his three-pointed, double-edged sword, his third eye between his eyebrows flickered slightly as he looked around the empty courtyard.

"It seems I'm still late. I left so quickly." Yang Jian whispered to himself, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

He turned and walked towards the back mountain, his footsteps making no sound on the bluestone slabs.

In front of Gu Yi's tombstone, a few fallen leaves swirled down.

Yang Jian stopped and stared at the bluestone tombstone with a sharp gaze.

He could feel the weak but tenacious vitality flowing slowly deep within the tombstone.

"Hmm..." Gu Yi in the tombstone sensed Yang Jian's arrival and wanted to ask, but found that he didn't even have the strength to concentrate his consciousness.

The conversation with Wang Quan Baiye almost exhausted all the energy he had accumulated during this period.

Yang Jian seemed to see through Gu Yi's state, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Sleep peacefully, maybe when you wake up next time, you can leave here."

His voice was soft, but it carried an unquestionable certainty.

After saying that, Yang Jian turned and left.

He knew Gu Yi could hear him, but he just couldn't respond.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked towards the East China Sea, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Five years..." Yang Jian murmured in a low voice.

Five years ago, he warned Wang Quan Baiye not to go down the mountain before he had completely mastered the Tai Chi sword intent.

But now, the stubborn boy still walked towards Wudi City.

"What a cruel fate." Yang Jian shook his head, his silver armor shining coldly in the sunlight.

He disappeared in a flash, leaving only the weeds in front of the tombstone swaying gently.

......

At Shenhuoshan Villa, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the vermilion eaves.

Dongfang Huaizhu stood outside his father's door, his fingers trembling slightly.

She took a deep breath and knocked on the door gently.

"Come in." Dongfang Gu Yue's steady voice came from inside the room.

Pushing the door open, Dongfang Huaizhu saw his father sitting on a rattan chair by the window, staring at him with sharp eyes.

Those eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, making her lower her head involuntarily.

"Father." Dongfang Huaizhu bowed politely, but suddenly forgot what he was going to say.

The air in the room seemed to freeze, leaving only the sound of her increasingly rapid heartbeat.

Dongfang Guyue sighed and broke the silence: "Alas, you don't have to say anything. I understand why you came here."

He stood up and walked to his daughter. "Go, that kid might really need you now."

Dongfang Huaizhu suddenly looked up, his eyes full of shock.

She didn't expect her father to reveal her thoughts in one sentence.

"Dad, I..." She opened her mouth, her cheeks slightly hot.

Dongfang Guyue waved her hand, a rare kind smile on her face: "You didn't think you could hide your affair with that kid from the Wang Quan family from your father, did you?"
