I Can’t Be a Sword God

The clouds are deep and the moon is light, the night is dark and the wind is high.

A very haunted night.

On Baigu Mountain, the sound of the wind crossing the ridge is like the wailing of evil spirits, and the shadows of trees in the distance are like yakshas dancing their claws.

It's a very haunted place.

Coupled with the bloody rumors here.

It can be said that if it is not haunted, everyone will be very disappointed.

In such an eerie atmosphere, an out-of-fit young donkey broke into the picture.

On the back of the donkey, there is also a little Taoist priest who is even more out of place.

He was so handsome that the atmosphere around him suddenly seemed less scary.

At most, it was so frightening that people wanted to throw themselves into his arms.

The donkey came to the entrance of the Fushi Cave for more than ten feet. It seemed to have sensed something. It began to feel a little uneasy, and trampled on the ground with all four hooves, refusing to take a step forward.

Li Chu turned over and got off the donkey, touched the donkey's head, and said, "Thank you."

The green donkey made two high-pitched noises, probably meaning that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, I will wait for you at the foot of the mountain.

Li Chu hummed, turned and left.

As for what the donkey meant, he didn't understand at all.

It's strange to understand...

After bidding farewell to his mount, he came to the entrance of the corpse cave. It was pitch black inside, only a ray of moonlight, which was extremely weak and almost non-existent, guided the way.

I don't know who the enemy is, I don't know what's going on in the cave, I don't know what they're planning...

With Li Chu's cautious character, he didn't even have the slightest thought of retreating.

Since the other party is coming for you, then you should bear everything by yourself. It is absolutely not morally right to implicate an innocent woman.

Ghosts don't speak morally, but humans do.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the hole.

Every man has that once in his life. On a silent night, I broke into the dark and deep cave alone. Take out all your perseverance, break through many difficulties and obstacles, and save the suffering girl.

...

Walking in the grotto, the footsteps creaked and reverberated, which could be heard far away.

There is not a trace of yin in the corpse cave.

But that's what's weirdest.

In such a normal cave in a barren mountain, even if there is no evil, there should be a little bit of yin.

What's more, there are thousands of bones buried in this cave.

In the spacious and deep cave, it is already difficult to see with the naked eye. While entering the cave, Li Chu closed his eyes and observed everything with his mind.

Suddenly, a three-dimensional picture of the entire cave appeared in his mind.

turn out to be……

At the end of the cave, there is an open space, and the yin energy of the entire mountain is gathered there.

The intensity is almost condensed into substance!

It seems that there is some power that has suppressed all the Yin energy here, and it looks terrifying from the perspective of the mind's eye.

On the edge of Yin Qi, there is a faint breath, it is Gongsun Rou.

The other two cold existences should be bones and painted skin.

But in the center of the endless Yin Qi, there is another existence.

It's erratic, it seems to be everywhere, and it seems to be partly hidden.

Li Chu was thinking in his mind, and kept walking. Although the cave was long, he quickly reached the deepest point.

There is another layer of hole here, and after passing through, it is an open space at the end of the Fushi Cave.

Thirty feet in front of the entrance of the cave, there is a sword.

The sword body is simple and rusty, it seems to be just a piece of useless scrap iron.

But under the eyes of the heart, there is a sword like a dragon!

It is this sword that stops all the yin energy here!

Here is its square sword field.

The sword intent of this sword seems to be locked on the hidden existence at the end of the cave, other than that, entry and exit are not prohibited.

If Jiang Shouyin was here, then he would definitely recognize that this is a supernatural power belonging to Shenxuguan, banned by the sword field.

It was exchanged by Reverend Fu Yuan with his own Pure Yang Sword Intent and Reverend Shouyi.

Li Chumai went over, and at the same time made a silent note in his heart.

Here is a sword.

Looks like a lot of money...

As soon as he entered the cave, Li Chu saw Gongsun Rou.

She was not far from the entrance of the cave, and was bound by a circle of jet-black things that looked like hair, but were too long, and she couldn't break free.

The woman in red next to her was the girl Bai Ling whom he had rescued a few days ago.

"Xiao Daoist Li..."

With a gleam of light, Gongsun Rou saw Li Chu coming in, and immediately let out a cry.

Li Chu nodded to her.

Immediately, Bai Jian's sound like metal rubbing was heard.

He asked, and Li Chu answered.

"You came?"

"I am coming."

"I knew you would come."

"Of course I will."

"But you shouldn't have come."

"But I'm still here."

"If you come, you will die!"

"Shut up!" It wasn't Li Chu who answered him this time, but the hidden voice in the deepest part, which roughly interrupted Bai Jian's forced play.

"Hmm." Bai Jian obediently closed her upper and lower jawbones.

Li Chu turned his eyes to the direction of the sound, but he couldn't see through the thick darkness. Looking at it with the eyes of the heart, what comes to the face is a strong resentment!

"You two, go out and hold the hole, don't let anyone in... and don't let anyone escape."

The voice sounded again, slow and cold, like a letter of a poisonous snake swallowing.

Bai Jian and Hong Ling led the order to go out.

...

As their footsteps gradually moved away, Gongsunrou was nervous and did not dare to make a sound, while Li Chu stood quietly, as if confronting the existence in the darkness.

"Actually, I'm very curious about you. Previously, my subordinates said that you are very strong, but I didn't care. How strong would a teenage Taoist priest be even if he was reincarnated?"

"But the moment you walked into this cave, I was really curious. Because... I can't see through your strength."

"But I can see the remnant soul. I can see that there is still a ghost of a strong man left on your body. The original strength of this remnant soul... is almost comparable to when I was the weakest moment."

"Hehe, you must have experienced a deadly battle in the past two days."

The voice in the darkness spoke one sentence after another.

"Indeed." Li Chu nodded.

Until now, he still has lingering fears when he thinks of the short but fierce fight with the jade lynx.

"I admire the strong." The voice said again: "If you are willing not to trouble my subordinates in the future and let them collect life silver safely, I can let you take this little girl away."

Li Chu has no expression on his face: "If you said that the collection of life money is at the cost of killing innocent people's lives, then forgive me for not agreeing. Not only that...I'm afraid I have to get rid of you."

laugh--

When the words fell to the ground, Li Chu slowly drew out his sword and stood with it.

"Cruel? Hehe, no, no, no." The voice suddenly laughed: "You seem to have misunderstood us."

"Life silver cannot be obtained through coercion. All those who turn their life into life silver are voluntary. They have resentment in their hearts, and there is no way to avenge their grievances, and there is no place to redress their grievances! At this time, we will give them a powerful Resentment for resentment, opportunity for revenge.”

"It's a fair deal, even for them..."

"This is good news."

Li Chu pondered for a moment.

Then, he said slowly, "I'm a rather... timid person. There are many things I want to do, but most of the time I just think about it."

"So I can understand many people. They may have some extreme ideas because of a moment of anger, and even...will not hesitate to achieve their goals through self-destruction."

"But often no one will really do this. It's like standing on the edge of a cliff and looking down, and you will always stop your feet."

"Your appearance at this time is tantamount to pushing people into the abyss, and there is no chance of recovery."

"That's clearly wrong."

His tone was steady and firm.

"Huihuan?" The voice interrupted him abruptly, accompanied by a piercing sneer: "Haha, extremely childish."

"I know the origin of every piece of life silver, so you just say... the lady of the Xue family, she was originally a wife who shared the joys and sorrows with her husband. When her husband became rich, he changed his mind and even wished her to die soon."

"The night his husband married Mei Jiao Niang, she was heartbroken in the cold courtyard."

"At that time, did you ever teach her how to get back?"

"And that poor little girl, she was almost insulted by her non-blood brother. After the incident was revealed, that little beast pushed her off the cliff."

"If my subordinates hadn't given her a chance to take revenge, she would not have died, but would have been paralyzed, watching her mother continue to be bullied but unable to resist."

"At that time, will you teach her how to get back?"

"If we hadn't appeared, who would have given them a chance to uphold justice? Is it you? Or other Taoist priests, monks, cultivators, officials... Tell me, who else will appear in this big world?"

"I don't know." Li Chu replied frankly.

"Um?"

The voice seemed startled by his calmness.

Just listen to Li Chudao: "Human beings were originally just a kind of beast. Even if they have evolved for thousands of years, they are only getting closer to the road to civilization. There is still an infinite distance...or they will never be able to reach it."

"In this world... there are indeed places where the sun doesn't shine. Those injustices, grievances, and crimes in the dark... have existed from ancient times to the present, and may always exist."

"Humans have established laws, but laws cannot cover everything. Perhaps there should be an external force to fill these gaps."

"I still don't know what this power is..."

"However, I can be sure that your approach is definitely not the right way."

"This will only create greater hatred and darkness."

"And, no matter how high-sounding your words are, your purpose is only to plunder."

"The resentment on your body is too heavy, and it still makes me feel a little familiar... I think, you have integrated the so-called life silver into your body, right?"

Li Chu opened his eyes and looked somewhere in the darkness, his gaze was like lightning.

"Hehe, you little Taoist priest is really... stubborn. Since that's the case, I might as well let you see my true colors!"

boom--

Accompanied by the ghost king's shout, clusters of ghostly blue ghost lights suddenly lit up in the cave!

It was only at this moment that the cave revealed its true face to Li Chu and Gongsun Rou.

It turns out that where they are, there are many bones everywhere! Layer by layer, some have grown together with the grotto, and you can't find it if you step on it.

At this moment, will-o'-the-wisps lit up on every corpse, and the weird blue light illuminated the surroundings!

Suddenly finding herself surrounded by bones, Gongsun Rou couldn't help but let out a scream.

In the center of the cave, there is a strange figure.

This figure looks like a human being, with limbs and a head, but no facial features, nor clothing or skin, but dark silver all over!

It's like a semi-finished silver doll.

"I don't fuse life silver into my body, but use this resentful life silver to reshape my spirit body. As long as I can completely reshape my spirit body, I won't be able to trap me here anymore. I will be immortal and surpass the past. But it is because of you that I have been unable to complete it! Just because of your childish righteous way? Hehe, since you won’t listen to my advice, then I have no choice but to keep you here!”

The King of Ghosts obviously has no mouth on his face, but he can make a sound, but the sound is still vague and far away, and there is anger in his words.

It was angered by Li Chu.

Li Chu looked at its body and was also a little angry.

He slowly raised the sword in his hand.

"It turns out that you only pay one penny each time, but you get back such a large amount of life silver. Those who make deals with you are temporarily deceived, and they don't even know how valuable they are. This is blatant deception and plunder. , and falsely claiming blessings..."

Accompanied by his words, a wave of spiritual power poured into the sword.

Considering the unknown and tyrannical strength of the opponent, the spiritual power injected this time is a bit huge.

"My sword is for all the dead people, for the peaceful Yuhang Town, and for this bright world..."

The ghost king seemed to have a premonition in his heart, and he began to panic, and the will-o'-the-wisps around him suddenly swayed wildly!

It wants to escape, but there is nowhere to escape! It can't leave here!

but.

In the next second, I heard a crisp...

Snapped.

The iron sword in Li Chu's palm was covered with cracks in an instant.

This is just a piece of ordinary iron, and it has long been unbearable to withstand the spiritual power he poured into it every day. In fact, Li Chu discovered the fatigue of the iron sword when he practiced the mind-eye technique last time.

It's just that I didn't pay much attention to it later.

Thought the way to retire a sword was to wear it out slowly...

Unexpectedly, under such an important scene today.

It suddenly couldn't take the pressure anymore.

shattered.

clatter...

A pile of broken iron fell to the ground.

Li Chu blinked: "..."

Just now I said such impassioned words, and when I raised my hand, suddenly came this...

Um……

So embarrassing.

Another big chapter that I didn't have time to finish. If I split two chapters, I could post it before twelve o'clock yesterday... But after thinking about it, I didn't split it. Alas, the data is bad again. People save manuscripts every day before it goes on the shelf, and I update it every day before it goes on the shelf...
