The Word of Heaven

Chapter 203 Heaven and Earth Witness Together

The skylight is dazzling and the gentle words are piercing.

He Tinghe opened his eyes wide and thought, who wants you to thank me?

Gu Zhuo smiled sincerely, nodded and turned around.

He Tinghe looked at the back of this figure, thinking about the tragic experiences in recent days, thinking about the bleak life that would follow, and thinking that it would be better for him to die...

There was a pop.

A mouthful of blood surged up from her throat and spurted out.

Gu Zhuo didn't even turn his head. Without even flicking his fingertips, his true energy protected his body and blocked the blood.

He Tinghe felt that the future was even bleaker.

It was not until the female cultivator in wedding dress spoke for her and reprimanded Gu Zhuo for her that she felt a wonderful warmth in her heart that she had never imagined before, so much so that tears came out involuntarily.

"So do you think it's okay?" The tone of the nun in wedding dress suddenly changed and she asked pleadingly.

When he said this, the big red sedan chair was less than three meters away from the carriage, very close.

Gu Zhuo smiled and said, "It's basically fine, but there are still two details that need to be sorted out."

"The first thing is that the scripture you gave me is missing a crucial part. If you force yourself to practice it, there is a high probability that something will go wrong."

He paused and said, "But it doesn't matter to me, so the real key thing is something else."

When she heard the first sentence, the Wedding Dress Sister became obviously nervous, and her voice became much more solemn: "Please speak frankly."

Gu Zhuo got off the carriage and walked between the carriage and the sedan chair.

The autumn wind never stopped, making his clothes rustle.

Then he looked at the big red sedan chair and asked seriously, "Do you love her?"

The wedding dress nun did not hesitate for a moment, and even said in a deep voice, "Of course."

Gu Zhuo turned his gaze to the carriage and asked He Tinghe, "Are you willing?"

He Tinghe was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, the words had already come out.

The answer is of course I do.

Gu Zhuo looked calm, his eyes moved to the big red sedan, and continued to ask: "Then, under the witness of heaven and earth, from now on you will protect her, love her, and respect her, just like the self you love. Are you willing?"

The nun in the wedding dress was stunned.

Gu Zhuo didn't care, and said to He Tinghe: "We are both witnesses of heaven and earth. No matter whether we are poor or rich, sick or healthy, high or low status, success or failure, it doesn't matter. Are you willing to be faithful to me and stay with me for the rest of your life?"

He Tinghe was already dumbfounded by what he heard.

There was dead silence.

Only the sound of the wind remains.

Gu Zhuo didn't care about the silence. He waited patiently with a smile on his face.

He Tinghe lifted the curtain and looked at the big red sedan chair.

The nun in the wedding dress came out and looked into the eyes of her lover.

The two looked at each other in silence for a long time.

The former is confused, and the latter is at a loss.

The only thing in common was that they both saw two words in each other's eyes - ridiculous.

If they understood correctly, these words they had never heard before should be the wedding speech, but the problem was... this should not happen to them at all.

He Tinghe couldn't figure out what was going on, she just thought that this might be a way of saying "I do."

The nun in the wedding dress wanted to nod and agree immediately.

However, for some reason, her Dao heart became extremely alert just before she opened her mouth, making her unable to speak.

At this time, Gu Zhuo asked again: "Are you willing?"

As he finished speaking, the autumn sky was bright and cloudless, and suddenly there was a roar of thunder for no reason, which sank into the hearts of the two men.

He Tinghe was shocked, and all the messy thoughts disappeared without a trace. Following the original intention in his soul, he said, "I do."

The level of the female cultivator in Wedding Dress is higher than that of He Tinghe, but the shock to her heart of Taoism is even more terrifying, making her face the irresistible true desire from the depths of her soul.

So...the word "I do" also flowed out of her mouth, with the sound of gold and jade resounding.

"very good."

Gu Zhuo smiled with a look of satisfaction, clapped his hands in celebration, and said, "Then this marriage is done."

Without waiting for the two people with drastically changed expressions to speak, he sighed and said with a look of regret: "Don't think this wedding banquet is sour. You should know that in the past, countless people wanted me to officiate their weddings and bless them, but you are the first newlyweds I witness. How interesting is that?"

A dead silence.

Neither He Tinghe nor the female cultivator in the wedding dress paid any attention to him. Their expressions changed from shock to bewilderment as they stared blankly into each other's eyes.

Gu Zhuo didn't care and said, "I sincerely hope that you can live a long life... This doesn't seem to be auspicious, so let's just stay together forever."

After hearing the last four words, the Wedding Dress Cultivator finally came to her senses. She turned around and looked at Gu Zhuo with horror on her face and said, "What on earth did you do to me?"

"what?"

Gu Zhuo raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of confusion, and said as a matter of course: "Didn't I say it before?"

The nun in wedding gown remained silent.

She thought of the words she had heard before, the oath that was already engraved in her soul, and the four words "stay together forever"... She finally understood what it meant for sadness to surge like a tide.

Gu Zhuo looked at her and reminded her, "You agreed to this yourself. I didn't force you."

He Tinghe's gaze moved back and forth between the two of them, no longer as confused as before. She wondered if the vows in his previous words were all true?

When she thought of this, she felt an overwhelming joy in her heart. She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she no longer had to worry about being eaten bite by bite by bite by the nun in the wedding dress.

However, when she thought about how she would have to stay with the Wedding Dress Female Cultivator for the rest of her life, and that she would have to live in a desolate and cold wasteland for the rest of her life, and be accompanied by the madman of the Red Yin Sect for the rest of her life...she fell into confusion again, and tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes, wetting her cheeks.

He Tinghe cried.

The female cultivator in the wedding dress was stunned for a moment, and then she started crying too.

The two looked at each other in silence, with tears streaming down their faces.

Gu Zhuo looked at it carefully for a while and became more and more satisfied with his decision.

Then he abandoned the carriage, took the horse that had been on a journey, and left.

Listening to the sound of horse hooves, the Wedding Dress Cultivator suddenly thought of a question. She looked at his receding back and shouted, "What's the name of the person you like?"

Gu Zhuo didn't turn around and said, "That person's surname is Gu."

He Tinghe was slightly startled when he heard this. Thinking about what he had heard before, he subconsciously asked, "Gu Zhuo?!"

Even if it was a female cultivator in a wedding dress who lived in the most desolate place in the world, when she heard these two words that had long been famous in the world, her expression was complicated and indescribable.

Then, she recalled some details of the recent conversation, and naturally, she had a very strong suspicion in her heart.

"Who are you!?" The Wedding Dress Female Cultivator asked again, "Why were you able to plant the Heavenly Dao Oath in my soul?"

Gu Zhuo stopped, not knowing whether he was thinking or something else, and finally said: "People call me the Demon Lord."

……

… “So that person was you?”

"Who else is that person?"

“…It’s a bit shameless.”

"I thought you would call me modest."

"She asked your name because she wanted to use it against you."

"It's hard not to want to kill me."

"But those two people are now scared silly by you."

"So I don't mind saying those two words."

Gu Zhuo said casually as he rode his horse towards the dim lights under the mountains. He felt better than before.

Again.

In his opinion, adult marriage is a very good thing, not to mention that he also saved the love between the two people that was doomed to be broken apart. How could it not be considered a merit?
As for the fact that this is contrary to the Chiyin Sect's path of cultivation, that is a matter of cultivation. What does it have to do with the love that he wants to control?
More importantly... doing so is in line with what he wants.

He Tinghe knew that entering the wilderness would lead to such a marriage, but she still came here and let someone die for her.

The female cultivator in the wedding dress, whose name he still does not know, had the blood of countless people on her hands, so it would be too easy for her to just die.

These two people had too many reasons to die, which made Gu Zhuo give up the idea of ​​killing.

To Gu Zhuo, letting them love each other sincerely for the rest of their lives under the constraints of that oath and live in endless pain was more like torture.

"What if the female cultivator who was burned by you to the point of losing her human form finds a new path of cultivation?"

A voice came with the light of day and fell into Gu Zhuo's heart.

"pretty good."

He said nonchalantly, "Just think of it as filling the deepest gap in the Chi Yin Sect's skills for me."

……

……

In the evening, Gu Zhuo rode his horse to the foot of the mountain and saw smoke rising again.

It is one of the human strongholds closest to the depths of the wilderness, and it is also the forefront of trade between the wilderness people and humans. Although prosperity is unfounded, bustle is inevitable.

Gu Zhuo handed over the pass and was allowed to enter the village after a careful inspection by the practitioner responsible for maintaining order.

The layout of the village was chaotic, with more than thirty stone houses scattered everywhere. Lights were burning, illuminating the barren land where not even a blade of grass could be seen.

However, what is strange is that not far from the village is a river brought by waterfalls from the mountains falling to the earth. You don’t have to follow the water upstream for too long, and what comes into view is the pleasing dense and green forest.

There seem to be countless ways into the mountains, but in fact there are only a few easy ways to walk, and the road hidden in this dense forest is one of them.

According to what was agreed upon at the ancient battlefield, the wild man named Yu Yang would send someone in this stronghold as a guide to the place in the mountains.

Or you could just take the map from the guide and set off on your own.

It is getting late, but the day is still early.

Gu Zhuo was not in a hurry to fulfill the twenty-three-day agreement and decided to stay in the village for one night.

This is the place where the savages and humans trade, but the scene is not the primitive stalls set up on the ground, but rather negotiations held in those brightly lit stone houses.

When the negotiations were concluded, the wild man walked out of the stone house, stretched his hands like wings in the night wind and flew into the mountains, bringing the results of the negotiations to his people.

Often, before the next morning, when the night is as dark as dew, the goods have already been transported to the village and the transactions have been completed with the merchants.

When the transaction was completed, the barbarians showed no intention of celebrating and their expressions remained dull.

Gu Zhuo saw clearly that the two cat ears on the little barbarian girl's head were drooping weakly, most likely because she herself became the leftover of this transaction.

But before long, the little girl would look up and smile endearingly.

Who says this isn't a serious life?

Gu Zhuo looked at this scene and suddenly had an indescribable strong premonition.

——One day in the near future, the barbarians will once again leave this extremely cold and evil land and return to the human world.

……

……

The same night, another place in the wilderness.

The merchant leader who had traveled with Gu Zhuo before skillfully concluded a negotiation with the barbarians and was able to sell the goods in the carriage.

This not only made him earn a fortune again, but also enabled him to successfully complete the task assigned by the military leader.

Thinking about these things, the merchant leader's eyes quietly fell on a corner of the goods. Thinking about those things that were obviously tampered with, he still couldn't understand what the use of them was.

In his opinion, as long as General Wang nodded slightly, the Qin cavalry would be able to sweep across the wasteland to the mountains at any time.

No matter whether it is the Chiyin Sect or some other evil sect, they are nothing but insignificant ants in front of the military.

Why all that fuss?

The merchant leader shook his head, letting his reason overcome his emotions and letting go of this dangerous curiosity.

Unknown to him, a powerful military officer who was not wearing armor was looking at him indifferently, and it was a long time before he looked away.

then.

The military expert turned around and looked at the mountains, and said to the man next to him: "Prepare to enter the mountains."

If Gu Zhuo was here, he would only need to take a quick look to recognize that these were two of the people who were on the ancient battlefield that day.

……

……

The territory of Northern Yan was connected to the wilderness and did not need to be searched by the border troops of the Qin Dynasty. This was undoubtedly much more convenient in many ways.

This did not become a reason for the monarch to make a big fuss; on the contrary, things were handled more low-key.

Just like in previous years, the merchants of Northern Yan watched helplessly as their Qin counterparts made huge sums of money from the barbarians in a fair and honest manner, while they themselves could only engage in smuggling under the threat of the Qin border troops and could lose their lives at any time.

Today is no different than in the past.

The loyal servant of the King of Northern Yan walked silently in the cold wind, occasionally lifting the hood of his robe to let the mountains suddenly come into his sight.

He narrowed his eyes, thinking about the important mission he was shouldering on this trip, thinking about the upcoming glory, tightly grasping the jade bead in his hand, and his body became more hunched.

……

……

Yishui's two sword practitioners were already walking among the mountains.

There was no extra emotion in their eyes. They held the three-foot swords in their hands calmly and firmly, and moved towards the place requested by the barbarians.

Several mountains away, Qingjingguan and his companions were also on the road to progress.

Chu Jun was a little absent-minded. She had an urge to write a letter to Lin Wanyi, telling her about all that she had seen and heard recently in the wilderness, but she finally held back.

Because she knew that she would meet 'Gu Zhuo' from Tianming Sect again.
