The chivalrous spirit is fickle

Blood splattered everywhere, and sticky liquid fell on his face and seeped between his lips and teeth, mixed with a strange salty taste. He watched bodies similar to his own break and die.

Most people cannot accept such a scene and will instinctively feel nauseous, vomiting, and have a strange sense of guilt.

For people in the martial arts world, they either get used to it or go crazy, so masters always have to be prepared for their valued disciples' first murder.

But... Shi Gu doesn't understand these.

He had never accepted any apprentices, so naturally he didn't understand these things, not to mention that in the place where he was, killing people was considered a matter of course.

If Shi Gu were asked to recall the scene of his first murder, he could only remember the blood all over the ground, with brightly colored internal organs soaked in it, a bloody body that had been chopped into several pieces and covered in mud, and fat white maggots crawling densely in the flesh and blood.

Several young boys and girls with disheveled hair and fierce eyes squatted beside the corpse. They reached out to scoop up the rotten meat and maggots in the pool of blood, growled in protest, and then stuffed the rotten meat and maggots into their mouths and chewed them with big mouthfuls.

This kind of scene was what Shi Gu saw most often at that time, and his only choice was to kill the opponent with his hands, feet, and teeth like a beast to get a chance to survive.

Killing people may be a natural thing.

But Shigu forgot that he had already climbed out of that hellish abyss, and killing people was not something that should be taken for granted.

Shi Gu lay on the recliner with his eyes slightly closed, his internal energy flowing, trying to suppress his injuries. Fortunately, he could relax a little tonight.

"Hey."

Just when Shi Gu closed his eyes and rested, a cold voice fell into his ears and woke him up from his meditation. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a black flying bird landing on his knees. It was the black bird Dan Xiu.

Shi Gu frowned, waved his sleeves and began to drive Dan Xiu away. Shi Gu had never been polite to Dan Xiu, who looked like a monster.

"Go away, I'm busy now. I don't have time to find shit for you to eat."

Driven by Shi Gu, Dan Xiu flew up, but fell again after Shi Gu stopped, shouting angrily.

"Mr. Shi, are you too discerning? Why are you so rude to me but so nice to Xio?"

Shi Gu was about to wave his hand to drive him away again, but after hearing the words, he became interested, stopped and asked.

"Xiu? Have you two finally figured out how to use different names to differentiate them? I thought you would never realize this in your life."

The black bird Dan Xiu and the original body Dan Xiu, although they share the same body, they are completely different souls. The black bird is a demon and Dan Xiu is a human, but these two are also the same person, you are in me and I am in you.

All along, no matter whether it was a demon or a human, Shi Gu could only call it Dan Xiu, which was very awkward.

The black bird flapped its wings and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Stop talking nonsense. From now on, the name Danxiu will be shared by both of us. I am Dan, and she is Xiu."

"do you understand?"

After all this commotion, Black Bird forgot his previous dissatisfaction with Shi Gu's cold attitude towards him and just kept repeating his new name.

Shi Gu was a little annoyed, and slapped the black bird, saying lightly.

"Silly bird."

The black bird was swift and easily dodged Shi Gu's slap. It flew into the sky and spoke to Shi Gu viciously.

"I really don't want to talk to you, a beast, but Xio told me that I have to remind you of something. If she hadn't been nagging in my mind, I wouldn't want to talk to you!"

Hearing this, Shi Gu's brows were startled, but his expression relaxed and he asked softly.

"What did she say?"

Seeing this, Black Bird became furious and shouted angrily at Shi Gu.

"You son of a bitch, why did your attitude improve when you heard it was Xio who had something to say?!"

"Damn it, you already have a way to die."

Listening to the chirping of the blackbird, Shigu nonchalantly picked his ears and spoke slowly.

"I'm going to die, Danxiu will cry, but you only want to eat my flesh, why should I be nice to you?"

When Hei Niao heard this, her breath was choked and her head tilted, but she felt that what Shi Gu said made sense. After a moment, she looked at Shi Gu and shouted.

"Xiu just said that she won't cry for you. Instead, she will set up a table of wine and food on your grave and find a few singing girls to sing for three days and three nights."

Shi Gu raised the corner of his mouth and said to the black bird.

"Look, she's much cuter than you even when she's being stubborn."

"Mr. Shi, why the hell aren't you a mute?"

After a quarrel, the black bird finally calmed down, hovered in the air, and spoke to Shigu.

"Don't let me ask you, are you just going to let your two little disciples watch you kill people?"

Shi Gu didn't think much about it and nodded subconsciously.

Seeing this, Blackbird spoke again.

"No, do you think everyone can kill people?"

Shi Gu was confused for a moment when asked, but he had already sensed something was wrong in his heart. He did not nod again, but fell into silence.

Black Bird did not give Shi Gu a chance to continue thinking, but asked.

"She also asked me to ask you, what were you thinking when you looked at the corpse when you killed someone for the first time?"

Shi Gu's eyes flickered, he reached out and touched his chin, and spoke softly.

"I remember... I was thinking... I should hold the knife tighter next time and remember to chop off the opponent's head completely, so that the opponent would not struggle to death and cause me injuries."

Black Bird was stunned when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he asked again.

"She asked me to ask you, how old were you when you first killed someone?"

Shi Gu answered calmly without any hesitation.

"Ten years old."

"…What about the other party?"

"Eleven years old."

"Why do I feel that you are more suitable to be a monster than me?"

Shi Gu originally wanted to refute that he did not eat people, but he suddenly remembered how he looked when he killed people, and he lost his confidence.

Perhaps, I am more like a monster than a human. At least, I spent the first half of my life like a monster.

The black bird landed on the ground, folded its wings, and spoke slowly.

"Xiu said, except for you, most people would not want to see a bloody scene when they kill someone for the first time."

"Especially your two young and foolish disciples."

Shi Gu had already realized that he had done something wrong. He did not refute anything, but nodded slightly and spoke in a low voice.

"I understand. I will arrange this matter properly."

Blackbird jumped forward again and asked with his head tilted.

"Xiu said she has one last question, are you Qingcheng Shigu?"

"Or should she call you Senior All-Heaven Tribulation Killer?"

When Shi Gu heard this, he rolled his eyes and spread his hands.

"I don't want to be called a senior by a woman her age."

Hearing this, Blackbird paused, then spoke again.

"Bah, go to hell, you shit-eating bastard."

After that, Blackbird added.

"Xiu asked me to say this. You can't take your anger out on me."

Shi Gu raised his eyebrows and replied unreasonably.

"I can't control that. Since you said it, I have to put it on your account."

The black bird was furious and cursed at Shigu.

"Go to hell, you bastard! You're a shit-eating bastard!"

Chapter 70: Education on Killing (II)

The black bird cursed Shi Gu several times, and as if it was afraid that Shi Gu would attack her, it flapped its wings and turned into a black light and flew into the house.

Shi Gu did not go looking for trouble with the black bird. Instead, he sat on the recliner, lowered his head and thought, as if he was in a trance. Shi Gu sat there, motionless, like a smelly and hard stone.

Time passed slowly, the sun set from the east to the west, and in the hot air, cicadas chirped tirelessly.

The sun passed across the sky and slowly set towards the eaves in the west. The dazzling light gradually turned into orange.

Dusk rises and the setting sun sets, but it is already dusk.

Until this moment, Shi Gu finally came back to his senses from his trance. He looked around and saw that Shen Yue and Su Xue had changed into dark clothes as he had instructed, and were standing in front of him nervously and hesitantly.

The uneasiness almost solidified into substance, rushing towards him and gently hitting Shigu's body.

However, Shi Gu did not say much, but gave brief instructions to Shen Yue and the others.

"Let's go, it's time."

After saying that, Shi Gu took the lead and stepped forward. He walked straight past Shen Yue and the other person. At the same time, he quickly made a gesture with his right hand and called out softly.

"Come."

As Shi Gu called out, a clear chant suddenly sounded from a room deep in the courtyard. Amid a pile of haphazardly placed debris, a black sword box rose into the air and instantly pierced through the house, like a black lightning, arriving in an instant and landing next to Shi Gu's hand.

Shi Gu caught the black sword case very naturally and put it on his back with his backhand.

No banquet is good. In order to deal with the troublesome elders in Baijie Sect, Shigu needs a suitable weapon.

On the other side, Shen Yue and Su Xue were still uneasy, but looking at Shi Gu's unhesitating back, they sighed at the same time and quickly chased after him.

On the distant horizon, the setting sun looks like a piece of orange peel, emitting orange-red light and drawing straight traces in the clouds.

The courtyard where Shi Gu lived was a very remote place in Lin'an City, so it took a long time to walk to Bainiao Temple.

Along the way, Su Xue and Shen Yue attracted a lot of attention. The people in the city were already accustomed to Shen Yue following behind Shi Gu, but the sudden appearance of Su Xue inevitably made people more imaginative.

Shi Gu didn't say a word from beginning to end. He just held the sword case and walked forward.

He was restrained in his murderous aura, without any aura at all, just like an ordinary passerby.

After a long time, Shi Gu and his three companions walked to a Bai Niao temple. Without waiting for Shi Gu to knock on the door, the door slowly opened. Zhu Yin, wearing a red dress, looked at Shi Gu with a complicated expression, then stepped aside and spoke in a low voice.

"My master is waiting for you."

Shi Gu glanced around, nodded slightly, walked through the gate without saying a word, and walked straight forward. Zhu Yin's gaze passed through Shi Gu and fell on Shen Yue and Su Xue behind Shi Gu.

Zhu Yin hesitated for a moment, then turned sideways, lowered her voice, and spoke to Su Xue and Shen Yue.

"Be careful... tonight."

After saying that, Zhu Yin turned around, quickly caught up with Shi Gu, walked in front of him, and led the way for Shi Gu.

This is actually a bit unnecessary.

In Shi Gu's perception, there were five long strands of air revealed unscrupulously. To a practitioner, releasing air out of the body without reservation was nothing more than a way of establishing authority and issuing a warning.

Zhou Ming and his companions looked very nervous, perhaps because they were frightened by the two swords of the beautiful woman in the daytime.

The beautiful woman no longer has a real form. In the state of pseudo-demon, what she can't stand most is murderous aura and hostility, so she is naturally defeated by Shi Gu. But this does not mean that the beautiful woman is weak.

Even though he doesn't have much time left, he can't be defeated by Zhou Ming and his group. If they start fighting, it will cost him his remaining life.

A ray of darkness spread all the way from the distant sky, and the thin night curtain, like a layer of gloom, enveloped the world.

A moment later, Shi Gu walked into the night and pushed open a door. The door slowly opened, and bright candlelight instantly enveloped him. At the same time, several pairs of eyes swept over, and after circling around Shi Gu several times, they all fell on Su Xue behind Shi Gu.

Su Xue saw Zhou Ming sitting at the table at a glance. Her breath caught in her throat and she subconsciously hid behind Shi Gu with some fear.

Zhou Ming was stunned at first, then he was ecstatic. The table was already full of food and wine. Looking at Su Xue who came to him on her own initiative, Zhou Ming misunderstood her intention.

"Since Mr. Liu has already found my sister, why didn't you tell me earlier? Why did you set up this banquet to give me this surprise?"

"I was rude during the day, so I'll drink a glass of wine as punishment."

Zhou Ming, filled with joy, raised his wine glass, put it to his lips and was about to drink it, but he saw Shi Gu put the black sword box on the table and sat down.

The beautiful woman said nothing, but looked at Zhou Ming with an intriguing expression.

For some reason, looking at Shi Gu who didn't say a word, Zhou Ming frowned and felt disgusted for no reason.
