Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

In front of Shangguan Jin, Gu Xu briefly explained Emperor Ziwei's plan for rebirth and his own comeback from a desperate situation.

He said that in order to get rid of the shackles of the "Book of Life and Death" and become a "variable" outside of fate, Taishang Haotian captured hundreds of souls from other worlds and stuffed them into the bodies of the wild people.

All the other experimental subjects died, and only Gu Xu survived.

He talked about Emperor Ziwei pretending to be "another self", hiding in the depths of his consciousness, quietly affecting his thoughts and actions, trying to integrate the cause and effect of the two people, and waiting for opportunities on Kunlun Mountain. In order to realize the plot of seizing the body.

He said that he had been wary of Emperor Ziwei for a long time, so he practiced the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique" that can transform people into ghosts, and reversely deduced the "Ming Zhao Forbidden Technique" that can transform ghosts into humans.

When Emperor Ziwei was about to seize his body, he quickly transformed himself into a ghost, and then swallowed the remaining soul of Emperor Ziwei...

Although Gu Xu spoke in a very relaxed tone, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him.

But Shangguan Jin can deeply understand the extreme danger involved.

She knew that Gu Xu was using the body of an ordinary monk to fight against an old monster that had lived for thousands of years. Faced with the old monster's carefully designed layout and endless calculations, Gu Xu might fall into an irreversible situation and be replaced by him as long as he makes one wrong move.

But when Gu Xu was in a desperate situation, he miraculously grasped the one ten thousandth chance of life.

He took advantage of the omissions made by Emperor Ziwei due to his arrogance and successfully carried out a counter-attack. He even used Emperor Ziwei's name to subdue a group of followers and established a base in the northwest of the wilderness.

How thrilling and legendary is this?

The moment Gu Xu finished speaking, Shangguan Jin had stood up from his seat, threw herself into his arms, buried her head deeply in his chest, her tears fell like broken pearls, and she cried so hard that the pear blossoms were wet with rain. .

"A few days ago, I really thought you were dead..." Her voice trembled, her words and cries blurred together, "I thought... I thought that dead old man had taken over your body and assumed your name. took away everything from you...

"It's just... I'm too weak. Not only can't I help you get revenge, but even if I miss you, I only dare to secretly do it at night..."

Tears soaked Gu Xu's clothes, bringing a chill.

The autumn wind gently slipped in through the gap in the window and inadvertently lifted her long black hair.

The sky gradually darkened, and the tiny bits of sunlight shining on the ground gradually turned from golden to orange.

Gu Xu sighed softly, put his arms around her, and caressed her slender back and tight waist.

"I'm alive," he said softly, "I'm with you now."

"Fellow Daoist Gu."

"Ok?"

"You know, I was just scared to death."

"I understand."

"You don't understand," Shangguan Jin rubbed her cheek gently in his arms, seeming to be wiping her tears with his clothes, "I thought that old man had evil thoughts towards me and planned to trick me into giving in. Him. I was thinking that if he really tainted my body, I would rather die..."

"Are my acting skills really that good?"

"You deceived me into feeling sorry for you for so long. I'm afraid even Luo Jing's top troupe can't catch up with you."

"I'm sorry," Gu Xu hugged her tighter, "It was my fault for not telling you the truth earlier, which made you shed so many tears and lose so much weight..."

"You don't need to apologize for this." Shangguan Jin suddenly looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with tears, like rippling spring water. "I know that your situation at that time was much more difficult than mine. Now that I can see that you are safe and sound, my heart is filled with joy."

"I'm really sorry," Gu Xu repeated again. He stretched out a hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, "just now I was afraid that you would do something stupid on impulse, so I was a little rude to you and opened the door to you." Your drawer, looking at your paintings——"

"——If it's Fellow Daoist Gu, no matter what you do, I don't mind." Shangguan Jin smiled softly and interrupted him.

damn it!

Gu Xu cursed secretly in his heart.

At this moment, their chests were touching, and they could almost feel each other's heartbeats.

When Shangguan Jin said these words, even though Gu Xu was a saint and a strong man with a concentration far beyond ordinary people, he still almost couldn't control himself. He took a deep breath, not wanting to lose the initiative and be easily captured by this woman.

"Are you still calling me 'fellow Taoist'?"

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a just right arc. On his handsome face, this smile seemed to have a magical power that turned all living beings upside down, just like the sun shining on all living beings and the vegetation glowing.

Shangguan Jin couldn't help but lose consciousness for a moment.

It was as if the soul had been drawn out of the body and drawn into a kaleidoscope-like dazzling whirlpool.

It took all her strength to break free from this charm, which was more terrifying than all the witchcraft in the world.

"Then what do you want me to call you?"

"you guess."

Shangguan Jin closed his eyes gently and thought seriously for a while, then slowly opened his eyes, looked directly at him, and called softly: "Brother."

"What did you say?" Gu Xu didn't seem to hear clearly.

"Brother." Shangguan Jin raised the corners of her mouth and repeated it again.

Her lips were slightly open, like the petals of crabapples blooming on the banks of the Yi River, delicate and attractive.

This was an unexpected answer from Gu Xu.

But it fits the impression of Shangguan Jin in his mind - she has always been that confusing woman, and her thoughts are always elusive to him.

She had attacked him secretly and helped him many times.

She often expresses her affection for him, but it is difficult to tell whether she is sincere or not.

Gu Xu had always stayed away from this invisible woman in the past.

But now, when she took off her mysterious shell and showed her inner vulnerability in front of him...

Gu Xu had to admit that it was really hard for him to refuse a beautiful woman who liked the ordinary "Gu Xu" instead of the dazzling Emperor Ziwei. A beautiful woman who was still missing him even though she was the enemy of the world.

"Say it again."

"elder brother."

The smile on Gu Xu's face became even more obvious.

Being called "brother" by an older woman is really a wonderful and interesting experience.

The two hugged each other and stood quietly in the autumn wind for a long time.

The orange-red spots cast on the ground by the sunset moved slowly, and eventually dimmed and disappeared as night fell.

"Brother Emperor," Shangguan Jin suddenly spoke, with a sly smile on his lips, like a naughty little fox, "You are having a private meeting with me here. If the Queen and the Concubine know about it, they won't be angry, right?"

This is indeed a headache.

Gu Xu thought silently.

"Ignore them for now," he pondered for a moment, imitating the tone of the boss, "I want a woman, and no one can stop me."

After saying that, he held her face and looked at her cherry-colored, alluring lips: "Is that okay?"

Shangguan Jin smiled softly and nodded. (End of chapter)
