The chivalrous spirit is fickle

Shi Gu picked up the stack of flyers on the ground and looked at them carefully. When he heard Shen Yue ask this, he pointed without turning his head.

The next moment, an invisible energy force fell on the wooden sword in Shen Yue's hand. The originally light wooden sword suddenly became as heavy as a thousand pounds, pressing Shen Yue so hard that he almost fell to the ground.

"Wait until you can swing the sword ten times in a row, then we can talk about moves."

Hearing this, Shen Yue became angry and picked up the much heavier wooden sword again and began to practice the sword-wielding posture.

Shi Gu held the stack of flyers and read them casually, as if saying "don't bother me".

For a moment, the three people in the yard stopped disturbing each other, and the only sounds were the swinging of swords and the rattling of wooden barrels.

The breeze blew the messy green grass, and the sun slowly rose and climbed to the center.

"call……"

An unknown amount of time had passed. Su Xue, sweating profusely, was holding the bucket in both hands as she walked towards the large wooden barrel in the yard step by step with great difficulty. She was also carrying a black sword case on her back.

Su Xue was not a spoiled person, nor was she some rich girl who had never been exposed to housework. As early as when she was in Baijie Sect, she had tried to fetch water with a wooden bucket.

But at this moment, the wooden barrel in her hand was terribly heavy, pressing her to the point where she could hardly breathe, and the black sword box on her back kept emitting cold air, invading her body.

Su Xue carried the bucket with difficulty, walked to the big wooden barrel, lifted the bucket with all her strength, and poured a small amount of water into it. However, in the big wooden barrel, only a shallow layer of water gathered.

It was really strange. Su Xue clearly remembered that she had poured water for a long time, so why was there only such a shallow layer at the bottom of the bucket?

Tick, tick, sweat flowed down her long hair and fell into the wooden barrel. Through the slightly rippling water surface, Su Xue saw herself sweating profusely and looking in a miserable state.

Her arms were already sore and painful, and her legs were trembling slightly, as if she was about to run out of strength.

Take a rest for a while. The master is not a strict person and won’t say anything to her.

I am just a weak woman. What's wrong with taking a rest? It's all reasonable and logical. If my father were still alive, he would never let me do such a thing.

As if it was a thought in her heart, a voice kept echoing in Su Xue's ears, persuading her to stop and rest for a while.

However, after pausing for a moment, Su Xue turned around and left with the bucket of water struggling, continuing towards the well.

She didn't want to...and didn't want to stop.

There was obviously no mandatory order, nor any time limit, but Su Xue was still unwilling to stop.

It seemed that once she stopped, she would return to that rainy night. She clearly remembered that she was covered in mud and fell into the water, with muddy water pouring into her mouth.

That was the real embarrassment, and she didn't want to go back to that day.

Su Xue gritted her teeth and walked towards the well step by step. The look in her eyes became more and more determined. No one knew what she was thinking when she fell into the water that day.

An obsession, mixed with an unprecedented murderous intent, was buried in her heart at that moment.

Kill all those people and skin them alive!

Tear their skin, watch the blood and flesh peel off, revealing the bones inside, then break the bones and pour the marrow on their peeled skin.

Return to them the suffering you have endured a hundredfold, a thousandfold!

The more Su Xue thought about it, the colder the black sword case on her back emitted became. However, Su Xue refused to admit defeat, and the murderous intent in her heart continued to gather.

Shen Yue, who was struggling to swing the wooden sword, suddenly felt cold and had a chill. But when she looked back, she only saw Su Xue, who was sweating, carrying a bucket and walking forward step by step.

Shi Gu, who was not far away, put down the flyer in his hand and sighed softly. He did nothing but watched the evil spirit that was growing stronger and stronger around Su Xue.

Time passed slowly, and it was already evening. Shen Yue stopped swinging the wooden sword. In just one day, she could swing the sword ten times in a row. However, she no longer asked Shi Gu to teach her some new moves. Instead, she looked at Su Xue worriedly.

At this time, the water in the wooden barrel was not even half full, but Su Xue seemed to have lost consciousness. She held the bucket stiffly with a blank expression, repeating the action of pouring water into the wooden barrel.

Sometimes, the water in the bucket had already spilled all over the road, but Su Xue acted as if she saw nothing. She lifted the empty bucket above the wooden barrel and poured it out.

"master……"

Shen Yue was quite worried and called out to Shi Gu softly, wanting him to help Su Xue stop, but Shi Gu stopped her.

Shi Gu's expression was as calm as water, without a single ripple. He looked at Su Xue quietly, watching the murderous aura gradually condense into shape.

"Girl, go back to your room."

Shen Yue was extremely anxious about this, but she trusted Shi Gu very much. After hesitating for a long time, she stomped her feet and returned to the room reluctantly.

In the courtyard, only Shi Gu and Su Xue were left. One of them was in a trance, repeating an action for who knows how many times, as if he would fall down at any time, while the other one just stood by and watched, pretending not to hear anything.

The sun set in the west and the bright moon jumped out of the clouds. This scene lasted until late at night. When everything was quiet, Su Xue poured a bucket of water into the wooden barrel and finally filled it up.

All of a sudden, Su Xue's eyes lit up and she regained consciousness. She looked at the full wooden barrel, and the waning moon reflected on the water, then slowly turned around, smiled brightly at Shi Gu, and said in a hoarse voice.

"Master, the barrel is full."

Not far away, Shi Gu nodded slightly, without praising or blaming, but spoke softly.

"Well, jump in."

Shi Gu's voice was very light, but like a hazy light, full of bewitching meaning. Su Xue's eyes were blurred for a moment, she turned around to look at the bright moon on the water, and dived in.

Plop! The water splashed everywhere, and Su Xue fell into the water, but she felt like she was sinking to the bottom of an endless lake. Her body sank uncontrollably, getting farther and farther away from the water surface.

The feeling of suffocation spread from her mouth, where water was pouring back into her body, but she did not make any struggle. She just sank slowly into the abyss below.

Su Xue looked at the water surface and the gradually blurred bright moon. In a trance, she stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to touch the moon.

At this moment, a hand broke through the water, grabbed Su Xue's hand, and pulled her out of the water.

"call……"

The moment she emerged from the water, Su Xue lay on the edge of the wooden barrel, wet and gasping for breath, looking as miserable as a homeless puppy that had been caught in the rain.

Shi Gu looked at the embarrassed Su Xue, still without saying a word, but grabbed Su Xue's fingers, and used his fingers like a knife to cut through her white fingers.

A cut was made on the snow-white skin, and drops of blood fell into the wooden barrel. When the blood combined with the water in the barrel, the originally clear water surface instantly became turbid.

The thick blood, like a raging fire, made the water in the barrel begin to boil and tumble, with wisps of hot steam emanating from it.

Su Xue felt as if she was in an endless purgatory, with fire burning in her. The burning pain flowed through her blood and spread to every part of her body. In the pain, she exhaled bursts of hot air and groaned in pain.

But in the increasingly blood-red water, a piece of bone slowly emerged from the bottom of the water. The burning pain came from this bone.

Dragon bones are a treasure that is said to be able to change a person's spiritual aptitude. However, few people know that dragon bones are also an evil object. Evil spirit and bad luck coexist, tempting every host to go to extremes.

The water in the wooden barrel became more and more red, and Su Xue, who was soaking in the water, was gradually tainted with a bit of evil spirit. Her pupils turned rosy red, and the evil spirit that was already entangled around her became more and more condensed, almost turning into a monster with bared fangs and claws, pouncing on Su Xue.

"call……"

At this moment, Shi Gu, who had not taken any action, opened his mouth. In an instant, the evil spirit that had just condensed into shape was pulled by the invisible force and swallowed by Shi Gu.

The extremely strong evil spirit disappeared in an instant, and the evil spirit in the wooden barrel gradually became a little decadent.

Shi Gu leaned over slightly, whispered softly into Su Xue's ear.

"You...may kill a lot of people in your life."

Chapter 78 Bone Setting (II)

"You...may kill a lot of people in your life."

When saying this, Shi Gu couldn't help feeling a little dazed. Not long ago, someone had said something similar to him. Now it seemed that what that person said was a little too accurate.

Su Xue tilted her ear slightly and let out a soft gasp. The hot air from Shi Gu's mouth fell on her ears, making her feel a little itchy, and she seemed to have regained her consciousness.

Shi Gu didn't need Su Xue to answer. He reached out his hand, pressed it on Su Xue's soft shoulders, and spoke slowly.

"There are thousands of kinds of people, but some people are born to be murderers."

"I know what it feels like to kill someone, and I know some people get addicted to that feeling."

"But you are different. You are not stone. You should do better than me."

"I am not a qualified master. I cannot teach you any great principles. All I can give you is restraint."

As he spoke, Shi Gu let out a long breath, and the evil spirit that had been swallowed into his stomach was exhaled from his mouth again. The evil spirit was like silk thread, entwined and woven into a gray mask.

Shi Gu held the mask transformed from evil spirit in his hand, and then gently placed it on Su Xue's face.

"Remember the feeling that follows. It will probably be the most unforgettable experience of your life."

As soon as the words fell, the mask transformed by evil spirit was completely put on Su Xue's face, and then, endless darkness enveloped her.

In a trance, Su Xue seemed to have fallen into a strange dream.

In the endless darkness, the stench of decay filled the air, and Su Xue felt as if she had become a different person.

The man was not tall and a little thin, like a young child.

He sat in front of a rotten corpse and tore it open with his bare hands. The slippery and disgusting touch made Su Xue dizzy, but she could only watch her hands tear open the rotten flesh and pull out a piece of bone from the flesh.

The boy seemed to be accustomed to the taste. He took the bone with ease, put it on the ground and started grinding it, grinding the end of the bone into a sharp shape.

The white bones were ground into a small bone knife. The knife was not sharp, but the young man seemed very satisfied. He put away the knife, and then crawled on the ground like a wild beast, slowly crawling away on all fours.

I don't know where this place is. The light is frighteningly dark, but it is filled with corpses. A group of strange insects gather on the corpses, making rustling sounds and slowly gnawing at the rotten flesh.

The boy crawled for a long time and finally found a target. It was a boy who was also on all fours with disheveled hair. The man was crouching over a fresh corpse with his head down, gnawing at it with big mouthfuls. His mouth was full of blood, and he looked like a devil.

Suddenly, the young man who was lying in ambush behind him suddenly attacked, like a ghost, and pounced towards the man with the bone blade in his hand. Like a monkey, he hugged the man from behind, and at the same time turned his wrist and inserted the bone blade in his hand into the man's neck.

Puff! Blood spurted out, and the fragile bone blade pierced straight into the man's neck, but it didn't penetrate too deep and suddenly broke. The stabbed man wanted to shout loudly in pain, but the young man forced his palm into his mouth, blocking all sounds.

Then, the boy bit the man's neck. His teeth were not sharp, and no matter how hard he bit, he could not make a bigger wound. The man waved his fist and hit the boy's head like crazy.

Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!

Amid the dull sound of beating, the young man was still biting tightly, with no intention of letting go. The fear of the man being bitten was almost solidified into substance. He began to tear the boy's skin and eyes with his fingers.

The man's nails were very long, like a real beast. He quickly tore the boy's face into a bloody mess, and one of his fingers was deeply inserted into his eye socket.

But even so, the boy did not utter a cry of pain, and gradually, both of them fell to the ground, fighting like exhausted beasts.

Finally, the man completely lost his strength and fell to the ground without moving. The boy did not open his mouth immediately, but maintained this movement until he was sure that the man was really dead, and then he slowly opened his mouth.

During this process, Su Xue seemed to be that boy. She could feel the taste of his skin and the fishy smell of blood pouring into her mouth, but the pain was taken away and belonged only to that boy.

The young man crawled silently beside the corpse. He did not continue to bite his prey, but turned around and fetched a broken black knife from the place where the man was before.

The broken knife had been placed aside by the attacker from the very beginning while he was gnawing on the corpse. The sudden attack from the young man deprived him of the opportunity to pick up the weapon, and he died.

The young man covered his bleeding eye sockets, tore off a piece of cloth from his body, wrapped the broken knife tightly in his palm, and then continued to crawl forward slowly.

Su Xue didn’t understand the cause of all this, nor could she imagine the outcome, but she could feel the boy’s mouth slightly open, as if he was crying silently.

Why are these people fighting? What is this place? What is the purpose of this hellish place?

Everything is hidden in the darkness and cannot be seen clearly.

Su Xue could only follow the boy and move forward, but what happened next was repeated over and over again.

And the immensity of time that makes people forget about it.

The young man met other people again and again, and then they started fighting. In the darkness, he used the broken knife to cut off one throat after another.

Time seemed to have lost its meaning. Su Xue could not see the sun, moon, or stars. She just felt as if a hundred years had passed.

During this long time, the boy's eyes miraculously recovered. He fought with everyone he met. Every person looked like a ghost. They bared their teeth and claws, could not utter a word, but made strange babbling sounds.

Many times the boy was defeated, seriously injured and dying, but was lucky enough to escape. At the beginning, the boy swung the broken knife just randomly, simply aiming at the opponent's neck.

As time went by, the boy's sword-swinging movements became crisper and clearer. Although he still only slashed at the vital points, it seemed unavoidable.

Gradually, the boy stopped crawling. He began to stand up and walk like a human being. As more and more scars appeared on his body, he became very strong, stronger than anyone else.

The boy killed many, many people, everyone he met.

There was no communication or probing, the boy just stepped forward and slashed with his sword.

Watching the blade cutting through the flesh and the blood splattering like ink, Su Xue felt a surge of excitement. She liked this feeling, the feeling of killing.

This feeling of having control over other people's life and death without any constraints.

Su Xue believed that the young man should have the same feeling. He should also like killing people because his knife was getting faster and faster.

However, as time went by, everything gradually changed. Su Xue looked at the people who kept surrounding her and the young man holding a broken knife and killing one person in three steps. The excitement she felt gradually faded.

Too much, really too much.

Su Xue thought so.

Watching the almost endless number of enemies dying under the young man's knife, Su Xue felt a little bored. The splattered blood was no longer bright, but began to turn black and stink.

There were more and more corpses under the boy's feet, and Su Xue gradually lost the excitement of killing. She was only left with boredom and despair that there was no end in sight.

It turns out that there will come a day when you will get tired of everything in this world?
