Chapter 56 Hope is destroyed
According to legend, many years ago, a great devil who did everything he wanted appeared in the martial arts world.
This person is so skilled that no one can defeat him. If you fight alone, the entire martial arts world has to admit that he is the best in the world.
Of course, everyone knows the rule: "Without dealing with such evil demons and heretics, there is no need to talk about the morality of the world."
Therefore, the martial arts heroes at that time also came up with various methods to try to create an environment where they could use the advantage of a huge number of people to handle them.
However, this devil is not stupid. Every time he sees that the situation is wrong, he will run, and his light skills are not low... As long as he wants to run, few people can catch up with him, and the few who can catch up with him can't beat him even if they join forces.
Then you said...is it's true that everyone can't do anything about him?
Obviously not.
Lime powder, vaginal legs, lust, poisoning, hidden arrows, fire attacks... and other methods have not been used yet. Can you say there is no way out?
But what if... if you really want to use these words, who should use them?
Shaolin? Wudang? Or Emei?
The monk went to sprinkle lime powder? The Taoist came to pick up the vaginal legs? The master was responsible for seduction?
If you want to say that you are suddenly sexual and unexpected... Then these three moves are indeed a bit fierce, but it is impossible for the monks, Taoists and masters to agree.
Although the right path is not all good people or perfect people, it is impossible for everyone to be the best like Jiang Shouzheng.
Generally speaking, most of the people in the martial arts world are more favorable. "No morality" does not mean that they are "no bottom line"; even if it is a person like Di Buyi who is determined to be a dominant person and does not mind vicious competition, you see, when he faces the threat from Wujian Villa, he did not just run away or surrender, right?
Besides, if someone does something that is despised by others, it will be thankless... If you fail, no one will sympathize with you; if you succeed, 80% of everyone will pretend to be deaf and dumb in the future. It would be great if you don't poke your backbone with this matter.
Therefore, although the righteous path is large and powerful, and usually occupies the moral commanding heights and the power to make rules, it also has certain constraints. After all, true gentlemen and hypocrites are not so easy to be.
So in the end... in the face of that devil, what kind of solution did they come up with the best of both worlds?
That is the "Seven Swords and Swords Formation".
Why are the Seven Swords and Swords? Not the Seven Sages and Seven Sages and Fists and Foots? It’s very simple. At that time, there were seven people in the world who could keep up with or beat the devil. These seven people happened to be four swords and three swords…
So, everyone gathered the seven people together and worked together to discuss and create a formation that can integrate the power of four swords and three swords into one.
Later, they did use this formation to defeat the devil, but then they faced another question: Who should this formation belong to?
After everyone discussed it, the final result was... Since everyone has more or less contributed to this action, and the participants also knew what this formation was like, it would be unrealistic to let you go back and forget it. So, everyone will have a share.
In this way, the major sects agreed that any sect or individual who participated in the creation and implementation of the formation this time could pass on the "Seven Swords and Swords Formation", but it must be passed on to "people who can be trusted". It is absolutely necessary to avoid this formation being known by people from the devil's way, in case one day it is used by the other party to deal with their righteous people.
Time has passed, and many years have passed in a blink of an eye.
This formation has indeed not been passed to the demon path. Why do you want to ask? Because people in the evil sect are not interested in this kind of thing. When they encounter opponents they cannot beat, they can use lime powder, vaginal legs, seduce, poison, etc. to greet them at any time. Who has time to mess with you?
Besides, the power of this Seven Sword Formation of Swords is to put it bluntly, it depends on whether the formation developer is able to match the word "jue".
If you find seven second- and third-rate guys, even if you practice this formation until it is flying, it will be that way.
Many sects took this formation back and passed it to their disciples and experimented with it, and found this problem, so they stopped using this thing as a treasure.
There was also the leader of the thief who modified the formation to be used without four swords and three swords, and only seven people needed to gather together. By the way, he changed his name and regarded it as the conventional martial arts of this sect passed down.
Anyway, for various reasons, many years later, the original formation is on the verge of being lost.
Of course, there are still a few people who know it, such as... Gu Rong.
This "Kuixing Sword" Gu Rong was the descendant of one of the seven masters who dealt with the devil back then. This formation was also passed down in his family for generations.
However, don't think Gu Rong is a famous young master from a wealthy family...
On the contrary, he was the illegitimate son of the eldest son of the famous family and a brothel woman, and his childhood was very miserable.
Although his father wanted to bring them into the mansion and give them a title to their mother and son, the family behind him would never allow him to do so.
The final result of Gu Rong's father's struggle was that he could settle Gu Rong and his son in a corner of the city, give them a certain amount of money every month, and occasionally visit them, but Gu Rong had to follow his mother's surname and could not claim to have any relationship with their family.
Gu Rong, who grew up in this environment, had his own circumstances, such as the fingers and fingers of the neighbors around him, the ridicule of the children, and the sadness of his mother... He had long been accustomed to it.
The only thing that could make him escape these troubles was the swordsmanship taught by his father.
Gu Rong is not very talented, but he is not talented either. He is just an ordinary person, a very hardworking ordinary person.
His father was very dedicated when teaching him, even more attentive than teaching his own legitimate son, and even taught all the secrets of family secrets like the "Seven Swords and Swords Formation".
Such days continued until Gu Rong became an adult.
That year, his mother died of illness, so he also said goodbye to his father and chose to go far away to travel to the world with the surname and name left by his mother.
He thought this was a new beginning.
He didn't realize that he was just escaping from something that he had to make a break in his life...
…………
After entering the world, Gu Rong never talked about his background to anyone, let alone who his father was. Even though he made some achievements later, he never thought about going back to that "home" to seek revenge.
Until... ten years ago.
That year, Gu Rong was 30 years old and had been struggling in the world for ten years. At that time, he heard about a news that his half-brother had a conflict with a disciple of Wujian Villa and was cut off. In order to avenge the broken arm of his son, his father went to Wujian Villa to ask for an explanation, but Xiao Zhun destroyed his martial arts on the spot.
In terms of this matter, there is nothing right or wrong in the world... People who practice martial arts go out and have some quarrels and frictions, and in the end they will see the truth in their hands. If you are not as skilled as others, you deserve it if you are injured or disabled. It is legitimate for your family or your sect to seek revenge and ask for explanations, but in the end, it depends on whether you have the ability to "seek justice."
After all...that is what you can get back is justice.
And you usually can't get anything to ask for when Xiao Zhun's side, and Xiao Zhun didn't pick on what he did from beginning to end. He came to him and did not kill him after "handed". He just sacked his martial arts. To some extent, he was still quite polite.
Therefore, in the end, the two Gu Rong's family suffered a loss. Not only did they not ask for any explanation, but their reputation in the martial arts world has plummeted since then. So it turns out that this is the case, and it is actually difficult to win the reputation of the people. Even if they can be powerful in the local area for so many years?
What happened next can be imagined.
The direct descendants of two generations of the family, one of whom was deposed from his martial arts and the other was cut off, and their family has such a large foundation in the local area... Who doesn't want to be jealous of this fat piece of meat that is not protected by anyone?
The local local tyrants, evil gentry, corrupt officials, fellow martial arts, and even some simple bandits all felt that this family was easy to bully after that incident.
In less than two years, such a wealthy family and a famous martial arts family died, and the concubines and servants were all scattered in birds and beasts. Their property... was naturally divided up by those who were forced to take over.
Gu Rong watched these people who had nothing to do with him slowly approach the dead end, and could only watch and do nothing.
Perhaps most of the family members were sorry for him, but at least there was a father who treated him well, and some innocent children who were only in their infancy. According to blood ties, he was considered Gu Rong's nephew, and he died too miserably.
Gu Rong thought about it and decided that he wanted to take revenge.
He felt that all this was ultimately the fault of Wujian Villa, and Xiao Zhun's fault.
Maybe his idea may not be correct, but that is no longer important. Some people need hatred and a target of revenge, because only in this way can their unfinished love or hate be vented.
It was also at this moment that Gu Rong met Wen Yuzhai, a young hero with extraordinary intelligence and unpredictable nature.
After a period of contact, Gu Rong discovered that although this young man in the Caotang was about ten years younger than him, he was a person who was far above him and could rely on and trust.
So, Gu Rong told Wen Yuzhai his hatred, wanting the latter to teach him how to avenge people like Xiao Zhun...
Shortly after that, Gu Rong began his undercover career.
Under Wen Yuzhai's instructions, Gu Rong directly explained his life experience to Xiao Zhun on the first day he arrived at the villa, because Wen Yuzhai knew that even if Gu Rong didn't say it, Xiao Zhun would probably guess who the person who taught him was from his "sword technique he offered". With Xiao Zhun's personality, the more you dodge and hide something, the more he would be suspicious.
Therefore, it is better to tell him directly what others think is a secret, and then add lies to the most critical point.
Gu Rong also acted according to his plan. He first confessed his relationship with those "family members", but at the same time he lied, saying that he was very grateful for Xiao Zhun's actions, because he had long wanted to take revenge to those who "don't recognize him as a bastard and made his mother suffer for a lifetime." He was just suffering from no chance, and his single-handed grasp was not very sure. Fortunately, the sky was eyeing. Your Lord Xiao helped me avenge in disguise, which made me make up my mind and come to show my heart from now on.
This half-true and half-false lie is indeed brilliant. It can also be said that Wen Yuzhai's wisdom is better than Xiao Zhun. In short, this set of rhetoric allows Gu Rong to smoothly enter Wujian Villa.
And his lurking has been for more than seven years.
In the past seven years, Xiao Zhun not only has never doubted Gu Rong, but even believed and appreciated him very much, because Gu Rong was indeed a very outstanding disciple.
During his lurking period, Gu Rong, in addition to sending Wen Yuzhai some very important information from time to time (such as Xiao Xuan's first down the mountain, such as the plan to sacrifice the blood-refining sword, etc.), never did anything that would cause doubt. In other words, he might only move once in a year or two, and this kind of flaw is negligible; and his rigid, low-key, and diligent personality is just very suitable for learning the sword theory of "sword master".
Therefore, without realizing it, Gu Rong became the most respected, or the most favored confidant of Xiao Zhun, and he became the leader of the Nine Sky Sword.
But Gu Rong's murderous intent did not fade away in the slightest. On the contrary, in the years of Wujian Villa, as he understood Xiao Zhun more and more deeply, he became more determined to get rid of Xiao Zhun.
At this time, Gu Rong no longer had any personal grudges towards Xiao Zhun, but his desire to eliminate evil as a knight.
Earlier today, when he joined the Sword Seven Sage Formation, he also felt that... something big will be done! With such a powerful group of companions setting up the formation together, he can finally kill this devil.
However, reality is often not as smooth as people expected...
The sudden changes made Xiao Zhun successfully transform into an inhuman existence. When the six of them siege him for the second time, Gu Rong quickly realized the unexpected "despair" and "terror".
At present, as soon as the two sides fought, Gu Rong's sword was lifted up, and a huge force was invading in his hand. He didn't see anything Xiao Zhun did at all, and he didn't even see the sign of the opponent's attack, and he was shocked and retreated several feet.
When he looked up at the other five people in a daze, he found that the four people except Xiao Wuji were also shocked like him, especially Lin Yuancheng and Jiang Muchan, who were young and had weak internal strength, seemed to have vomited blood. Although Hai Cangfeng and the Three Character King... did not vomit blood, looking at their faces, they thought they had discovered the gap in their strength.
It was only now that Gu Rong realized that all the six of them had made things simple.
They are not everyone's "last hope" maybe before the blood sword's womb was formed, but it is no longer the case now.
Now, some of them are defeating Xiao Zhun, even if they want to hold Xiao Zhun down, they are not enough.
In this world, no one has ever seen a "sword demon", so they have no idea about their strength. If they have any concepts, they will not feel that they have the chance to beat him.
Of course, if you take a step back, this shouldn’t be something that people in the world have to face...
At this moment, among the people present, there was only one person who should face this monster and deal with it. The name of that person was Huang Donglai.
