Chapter 83 Talking with Heaven and Earth
Chapter 83 Talking with Heaven and Earth
For more than ten years, Gu Zhuo has swallowed the wind, kissed the rain and buried the sunset. He has never hesitated for a moment, nor has he ever tried to watch others leave like this.
——Then I’ll leave first.
He thought about these five familiar-sounding words, where on earth he had heard them before, that gentle, demure, and amiable smile like a spring breeze, that leisurely pace without haste or impatience, and finally he came to a fact that he had to admit.
This seems to be... how others see him.
That's why Gu Zhuo muttered to himself that meaningful sentence.
Of course, Yu Sheng is very different from him, the only thing in common is their style of doing things?
These were unimportant matters, although he couldn't help but complain a little about them.
The most important thing at the moment is climbing.
Because he had no interest in arguing with a little girl.
Yes, in his eyes, Yu Sheng was just a little girl who imitated adults and liked to act pretentiously.
That's it.
Gu Zhuo looked forward.
To be more precise, it was the brand new giant statue that was taking shape more than ten feet away, and the roaring surging ice and snow.
The heaven and earth are not still, and all things have something to say here.
Known by Gu Zhuo.
It is indeed inconvenient for him to make use of the power of this world, but that does not mean that he cannot hear those voices that have never left, and cannot capture the information he wants from those voices.
Even if it is an extremely troublesome process.
"Can you guys stop arguing? It's just a loss, right?"
"Why don't you stop making noise? If that guy hadn't reacted a little too slowly just now, wouldn't it have been smashed to pieces by that little girl's punch, and it would have been so embarrassing to be thrown all over the floor?"
"No, when did you become a human?"
"Do you understand the metaphor?"
"Stop, stop, stop. There's another one coming up here. Let's finish it quickly. There are more than just these two people coming today. We still have a lot of people to deal with."
"Why are you in such a hurry? There's no benefit in doing it. How long has it been since she came to see us? I don't know what she's been doing."
"Don't complain about this for now. The guy in front seems to be quite strong, not worse than the little girl just now. How about we put some strength into it?"
"Haha, you sounded like you didn't use all your strength just now. Didn't you use all you could? In the end, you were still knocked out by a punch from that little girl? Your face was even cleaned up."
"It's okay. We have no face anyway."
"Here comes this man."
"Stop arguing, stop arguing. If you want to save some face, work together."
Countless voices rose in Gu Zhuo's heart.
At the same time, the colossus was fully formed in the midst of the quarrel, transforming into a monster as huge as a sandworm.
This gigantic monster had no cheeks, but instead had a gigantic mouth filled with sharp teeth made of ice spikes. Because it was dim here, the depths of the mouth were dark, like the abyss of life.
Gu Zhuo stared into the abyss.
The abyss did not stare back.
The huge ice worm formed by the wind and snow seemed to still have half of its body in the frozen mountain. Its huge body was constantly swaying, exuding its power unscrupulously.
If all this were given flesh and blood, it would be like... a maggot twisting its body in a pastry made of rotten meat?
……
……
Some knowledgeable and experienced practitioners had already recognized the true origin of the monster transformed by the wind and snow, and thought that the princess was indeed very concerned about this summer festival.
The prototypes of monsters such as the previous Snow Eagle and the current Ice Worm, as well as those that other candidates are facing at this moment, almost all come from various life forbidden areas in the human world and are horrible creatures that parasitize therein.
Although the monster that appeared in front of the examinee at this time was far less powerful than its original body, its attack method was the same.
The experience accumulated in this battle will definitely come in handy when these candidates enter those life forbidden areas in the future.
Thinking of this, most people's eyes were not on the ordinary candidates at all, but almost all looked at Gu Zhuo.
The girl in green dress whose name is still unknown set an example. She smashed the snow eagle to pieces with just one punch. Her gentle smile revealed her unparalleled dominance.
Given the proud temperament that Gu Zhuo has displayed since entering the Divine Capital, he will definitely not let it take all the credit. He must make his own response and try to do better.
That’s how people perceive him.
I don’t think Gu Zhuo would agree.
"No."
The monk Kuzhou’s simple words were shocking.
"It's a draw at best."
As the current leading figure of Taoism, it is rare for Zizai Taoist to agree.
After hearing these two sentences, the other strong men who got on the flying boat also gave their own opinions.
The head of the Falling Star Sect said, "Just judging from the appearance of the Snow Eagle and the Ice Worm, it is obvious that the latter is more frightening. Using this as a comparison is really unfair to Gu Zhuo."
This is of course speaking for Gu Zhuo.
The reason for doing this is that not long ago a true disciple of the sect named Yu Yinchun sent a message back to the mountain gate, hoping that the sect could try to get Gu Zhuo during the summer festival.
Although the Luoxing Sect no longer holds out much hope for this because Gu Zhuo is too dazzling, but... what if?
People have to have dreams after all.
Even if that happens, it wouldn't hurt to say a few nice words.
Immediately afterwards, the abbot of Changqiu Temple also spoke, also with words to defend Gu Zhuo.
This is of course because Guan Xingu sent out a similar letter.
But no matter how good these two sentences are.
It's an explanation after all.
And explanation is often a cover-up.
All the strong men on the flying boat shook their heads, judging that it was impossible for Gu Zhuo to surpass Yu Sheng.
A cold snort suddenly sounded.
"Bullshit, if Zhexue was in his hands right now, what couldn't he do?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was He Sanwang, a famous elder of Chaotian Sword Palace.
No one agreed with his point of view, but no one argued with him either. They just pretended they heard nothing.
He Sanwang is quite famous in the cultivation world, not because of his high level of cultivation, but because he is almost a master in sword-making and has a notoriously hot temper. No one wants to offend him for no reason.
What's more, this sentence does not deny the views of the public, but only emphasizes the sharpness of the sword forged by himself.
On the flying boat at the highest point, the Crown Prince, who was closely related to the bloody case on Chang Street, had a pleasant smile on his face and thought to himself, I want to see how you are going to pretend this time.
There were many people who shared the same idea as him, and many of them were dignitaries who had dealt with Gu Zhuo intentionally or unintentionally.
People's eyes once again focused on the light curtain, waiting for the result to come out, waiting for Gu Zhuo to personally agree that he should be ranked second.
……
……
The ice on the lake has broken and the water is rising and falling.
Gu Zhuo walked forward with an umbrella, looking at the lifelike ice worm with a calm expression.
He didn't know that many eyes from the outside world were on him, but even if he knew he wouldn't care.
Because what those people said is actually true.
Ice worms are more difficult to deal with than snow eagles.
At least the girl named Yu Sheng is unlikely to deliver that gentle yet domineering punch to the ice worm's mouthparts. She should change her fighting method and not be able to do it so cleanly and neatly.
With his current realm, it is indeed just as the group of people on the flying boat said, at most he is on par with Yu Sheng.
But just like what Elder He from Chaotian Sword Palace thought, if Zhexue was in his hands at this moment, he might be able to win more beautifully.
Of course, Gu Zhuo didn't care about it at all.
As long as we can win.
We haven't even reached the halfway point of the mountain, and it can't even be considered a temporary success or failure. Being anxious is a meaningless emotion.
Thinking of this, he did not stop his steps, and the distance between him and the ice worm continued to shorten, and he had already entered the opponent's attack range.
The voices that were already noisy in the lake of my heart became even louder.
To be precise, when they saw Yu Sheng's shadow in Gu Zhuo's figure, it was hard not to feel annoyed and become angry.
Next to the ice lake.
The ice worm no longer twists its body meaninglessly, deliberately trying to show off its strength.
The moment Gu Zhuo stepped into the attack range, it instantly straightened its body, like an iron spear pointing straight to the sky.
The next moment, an unforgettable scene appeared.
Ice worms suddenly jumped out of the frozen soil and shot into the snowy sky like an arrow. The earth trembled endlessly, and gravel and ice flew everywhere, causing the lake water to pour out uncomfortably.
Compared with the storm that Snow Eagle had stirred up before, this was not inferior at all, and was even worse.
Then, the ice worm that had leaped into the sky dozens of feet high suddenly stopped for a moment, and its entire body began to rotate. Its mouthparts opened slightly, then shrank, and it let out its roar to the world.
A whirlpool of wind and snow was formed.
then.
The vortex began to sink.
Gu Zhuo was right below the whirlpool.
……
……
Seeing this scene, many people in the capital suddenly opened their eyes wide, their eyes full of panic, wondering if something really happened.
Now, in the gambling houses of Shendu, no one knows how much money is betting on Gu Zhuo's name. If something happens to him and he doesn't get the ranking he deserves, there won't be a bunch of homeless people on the streets for no reason, but most people will be heartbroken for half a year.
……
……
On the flying boat, the powerful men from various sects who came to watch the ceremony could naturally see that this attack was not as terrible as it looked. It was more of a breathtaking aura, and it was something that those in the Cave True Realm could handle.
However, when they seriously asked themselves and put themselves in the other person's shoes, they had to admit that they might have been able to avoid the attack back then, but they would have been extremely embarrassed, so they remained silent.
Pei Jinge looked at the empress and said nothing, but his meaning was very clear.
The queen shook her head slightly and said, "This is not a shady deal."
……
……
No one thought that Gu Zhuo would be defeated by this attack, and no one thought that he could continue to remain calm.
Even Yu Sheng, who was about to walk away, seemed surprised by the commotion he caused and looked back.
The cold wind howled down.
Like a deep flow.
Gu Zhuo did not close the umbrella in his hand, nor did he look up at the mouthparts that looked like an abyss. He said something silently in his heart.
——Can you do me a favor?
No one heard this sentence.
Only heaven and earth know.
The moment the words fell, the vortex of wind and snow stirred up by the ice worm suddenly stopped for a moment, then inexplicably began to dissipate, and the ice worm disappeared with it.
Everything seems to be an illusion.
Outside Cangshan Mountain, almost everyone in the Divine Capital was stunned, wondering what was going on.
Walking through the flying ice and snow, stepping over the overflowing lake water, and bypassing the bottomless pit, Gu Zhuo came to the side of the girl in the green dress holding an umbrella.
He looked at Yu Sheng and said softly, "Long time no see."
Yu Sheng didn't say anything and just looked at him quietly.
Is this long?
Of course this didn't last long.
……
……
Talking to heaven and earth is one of Gu Zhuo’s biggest trump cards.
If possible, he would like to keep it hidden from anyone.
Now it is far from being a situation where he has no choice, so why does he still do this?
Of course it’s not because he cares about Yu Sheng’s performance.
This is nonsense.
The fact is that there is a high possibility that something went wrong with Bai Nanming's practice.
Gu Zhuo wanted to take this opportunity to confirm it.
This is a problem he must face.
