In that distant little black house

Chapter 39

From the moment Lu Guijiu entered the Xuanwu Association, he made a decision not to take the lead and never return it.

If it is said that Lu Guijiu did not know how difficult it was to win the top spot, but after he heard Yue'er say that in the past thousand years, except for Zhang Jingmo's senior brother Bai Lingxiao, no one else won the top spot, he became firm again. determination.

What others can't do, he Lu Guijiu will do, and what others can do, he Lu Guijiu will surpass.

That Xiang Mingzi was just an ant blocking the way, and killing him was incidental, and Lu Guijiu never took it to heart.

The top chip is like a star hanging above the head.

A faint red light emerged from the body of Lu Guijiu who was constantly flying upwards. The red light was different from ordinary spiritual energy. It not only wrapped around Lu Guijiu's body, but also jumped and flickered like a flame, as if it was burning.

At this time, it has been a long time since he won the bamboo chips on the fourth boulder.

However, the star-like top spot still didn't get closer, as if no matter how long Lu Guijiu flew up, it was still so small and so far away.

For some reason, Lu Guijiu suddenly remembered the question he asked Zhang Jingmo when he was young.

He asked Zhang Jingmo how far the stars in the sky were from them.

He still remembers Zhang Jingmo's answer to this day. Zhang Jingmo said, it depends on how strong you are.

If you are strong enough, no matter whether it is the stars or the moon, they are only a short distance away. If you are weak, even a shallow river ditch is a gap that you will never be able to cross in your whole life.

Lu Guijiu didn't know how long he had been flying. He was already in a state of numbness, and he only knew to fly upwards at the most energy-saving speed.

Yet the effort seemed to be in vain.

Lu Guijiu watched the surrounding sun set and rise again. The rosy clouds in the morning sun should be full of vitality, but in Lu Guijiu's eyes, this kind of vitality has become lifeless.

Lu Guijiu asked Lu Shu: "How long have we been flying?"

Lu Shu said: "One day and one night."

He didn't take any rest all day and night, and he didn't even stop his feet. Even Lu Guijiu couldn't bear it.He hesitated for a while, but still didn't move.

Lu Shu said: "How long can you last?"

Lu Guijiu looked up at the sky, and said, "Stay until I win the first prize."

After Lu Shu heard the words, he became quiet and stopped disturbing Lu Guijiu.

Lu Guijiu continued to fly alone, it was like a [-]-meter long-distance race, the further you got to the back, the harder it was to endure.

Lu Guijiu's face was a little pale, but his expression was calm. Although his body was in great pain, his spirit was still strong.

There are people waiting for him outside the mountain, waiting for his good news, waiting to celebrate him-this is a big motivation to support Lu Guijiu to continue.

The thought of seeing Zhang Jingmo's satisfied eyes, gentle smile, and gentle praise made Lu Guijiu not feel tired anymore.He flew for a long time, but the aura in his dantian was about to run out.

Lu Guijiu pursed his lips, but took out the pill from his sleeve and stuffed it into his mouth.

Not long after the elixir was taken in, there was a hot current in the dantian, and Lu Shu's voice rang in his mind: "Are you sure you want to continue?"

Lu Guijiu said coldly: "Otherwise?"

Lu Shu sighed: "If you want to continue, I'm afraid it will hurt your body... Is it worth it for the sake of gain?"

Lu Guijiu said: "As long as it can make Master happy, it's certainly worth it." After he finished speaking in a flat tone, he stuffed the bottle of elixir into his mouth.

The elixir was given by Zhang Jingmo to Lu Guijiu for life-saving before the meeting, and he was told not to use it unless it was absolutely necessary, but now Lu Guijiu ate the whole bottle of elixir.

In fact, Lu Shu also knew that he couldn't persuade him anymore. He sensed that there seemed to be something wrong with this bet, but he also had a feeling that he couldn't tell Lu Guijiu what was wrong.

If you say so, all previous efforts will be for naught.

Lu Guijiu was flying, flying, as if on an endless journey.He is like a traveler walking in the desert, the oasis is faintly visible in front of him, but no matter how he walks, the oasis does not get close to it.So people began to wonder whether the oasis was a mirage.

It was another day at sunset and sunrise, and Lu Guijiu was extremely exhausted. The elixir can quickly provide him with spiritual energy, but it will also have a bad effect on his body, so he can't take more.

But Lu Guijiu just ate a bottle, and he didn't rest after eating, but continued to fly without sleep.

But even so, the leader still didn't get close to him.

No, no, Lu Guijiu felt wrong, no matter what, the chip on top of his head should be closer to him.But the number one star was still the stars, so dazzling in the sky of a hundred days that Lu Gui's eyes turned red.

Wanting to escape the feeling of exhaustion, Lu Guijiu began to deliberately recall his past with Zhang Jingmo in his mind. He saw Zhang Jingmo's black hair. He was only four or five years old at that time, and his master smiled and looked at him. He, teach him to read and practice calligraphy. If there is something he doesn't understand, Zhang Jingmo will definitely teach him personally.

He saw Zhang Jingmo's appearance when he returned to the sect after going out. Although his body was dusty, he couldn't hide his outstanding demeanor. His master was a real fairy...

What finally appeared in Lu Guijiu's mind was Zhang Jingmo's indifferent expression.

Standing in the water, Zhang Jingmo looked at him as if he was looking at a stranger. His beautiful thin lips parted slightly, and he said two words to him: "Go away."

"No!!!" Thinking of Zhang Jingmo's indifferent expression when he went back to face Zhang Jingmo's indifferent expression if he failed to win the chip, Lu Guijiu suddenly regained his strength. Tongue out, licking the blood out of the teeth little by little...

The blood and pain made Lu Guijiu gritted his teeth and persisted. He stared at his eyes that were red from exhaustion, and stared fiercely at the star above his head that seemed to be still far away: "I don't accept it!! I don't accept it!!! I don't agree!!!"

With a roar, Lu Guijiu began to cough up blood, but even so, his figure still did not stop, and he kept moving forward even if he was consuming his life.

The flames from Lu Guijiu's body gradually turned from red to deep purple, and the flames burned his coat, leaving only the magic weapon that Zhang Jingmo gave him as underwear, which remained on his body.

Lu Guijiu didn't notice the changes in himself, and now he focused all his attention on the unreachable leader.Since the predecessors were able to take the lead, why couldn't he, Lu Guijiu?Since this chip is for disciples, then he, Lu Guijiu, will get it!

These thoughts supported Lu Guijiu's last strength, he no longer vomited blood, but his face was as pale as paper, and his lips began to turn black, showing signs of exhaustion.

Lu Shu read anxiously, but he didn't dare to remind him that if he interrupted Lu Guijiu's state, Lu Guijiu might fall unconscious from this height and end up with no bones left.However, without warning, Lu Guijiu is burning his own life. Every time he flies up one meter, he will lose several months of life.

But after this incident, Lu Shu also understood how strong Lu Guijiu's desire was, just because he didn't want to disappoint his master, Lu Guijiu could give his life...

Standing taller inch by inch, Lu Guijiu is like a bird with broken wings. Every time he spreads his wings, he is tortured, but he refuses to stop, and he is desperately trying to reach his goal.

The purple flame became more and more intense in color, and finally turned into jet black as if ink had been added to it. The flame wrapped around Lu Podophyllum, making him at this moment look not like a mortal at all.

Lu Guijiu felt an indescribable pain that spread from his dantian to his whole body, as if tearing his body apart from the inside.

However, when the pain came, Lu Guijiu felt a kind of power, a kind of power that he had never felt before, majestic like a vast ocean.

Lu Guijiu gained strength again, he felt something rushing out of his body, surrounding him, lifting his heavy body continuously, lifting up...

Because the pain was too severe, Lu Guijiu's mind was a little unconscious, and he couldn't even see that the thing holding him up was a giant red dragon.The giant dragon was made of flames. It put its head against Lu Guijiu's body, and kept flying towards the position where the head was.

Lu Guijiu could no longer see things clearly, his mind was buzzing, and bright red blood was constantly overflowing from his mouth and nose, but at this moment, he was still thinking of two words: top chip.

The crisp golden sound brought back Lu Guijiu's consciousness, and when the blurred vision before his eyes became clear, Lu Guijiu vaguely saw a touch of gold.

The golden color slowly danced in front of his eyes, as if it had life.

Lu Guijiu stretched out his hand involuntarily, wanting to grab the golden touch - he grabbed it easily, and immediately felt a coldness coming from the palm of his hand.

The cold feeling spread to Lu Guijiu's whole body along the palm of his hand, relieving the pain caused by the scorching heat, making Lu Guijiu involuntarily groan.

As Lu Guijiu groaned, the giant dragon under him also let out a roar.

Lu Guijiu's complexion began to improve at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the damage on his lips was repaired. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a field of stars.

It was daytime at this time, but the sky was covered with densely packed stars, all of which were twinkling slightly, as if they were greeting Lu Guijiu.

Lu Guijiu felt that there was something extra in his palm, and when he lowered his head, he saw a star-like stone in his palm.The stone is small and black, but it feels very comfortable to the touch, and on its surface, there are three eye-catching white boys: 99.

This star is what Lu Guijiu has been looking for for a long time.

Lu Guijiu held the object in his hands tightly, and laughed loudly, his laughter was a little crazy, as if he was insane.

Because of Lu Guijiu's reaction, the giant dragon under his feet whistled again.

When Lu Guijiu heard the howling, he realized what he was standing on.

"Where did you come from?" Lu Guijiu bent down and gently stroked the giant dragon under his feet.

The dragon hummed softly, and raised its head slightly, as if answering Lu Guijiu's question.

Lu Shu's voice sounded at this moment, and he said: "The aura of Zhiyang can transform dragons."

Lu Guijiu said, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Lu Shu said: "However, since I was born with spiritual wisdom, I have never seen the spirit of Zhiyang transforming into a dragon." So he thought it was impossible to achieve it.

Lu Guijiu smiled softly. He solemnly put the star in his hand into the Sumeru ring, then took out the wooden sign from the ring, and said with a smile, "Let's go."

The fire dragon transformed from the aura slowly disappeared.

Lu Guijiu fell from the air, and with a little force on his fingers, he crushed the wooden card.

With a click, the scene in front of him changed instantly, and after a while, Lu Guijiu appeared in a large hall.In this hall, there were already quite a few Lingxu sect disciples standing there, and when those people saw Lu Guijiu suddenly appearing, they all showed various strange expressions.

Some are jealous, some admire, but most of them are full of surprise.

Above the main hall, the headmaster dressed in fine clothes showed a kind smile at Lu Guijiu, and he said, "Finally, come out."

At this time, there are still two days left before the Xuanwu Conference, which is one month away.

Lu Guijiu laughed and bowed to the head, he said: "Disciple Lu Guijiu, I have met the head."

The head said: "Take it out."

Lu Guijiu knew what the master said, so he took out a star from his bosom, which seemed to be the first star, and was about to go forward to hand it to the master, when he heard a familiar voice, saying "Slow! "

Lu Guijiu turned his head hastily, and saw Zhang Jingmo walking from behind him in white clothes, he said with a smile: "Master, don't bully my young disciple."

The headmaster said helplessly: "Qingyuan, where do you say that?"

Zhang Jingmo said: "Back then my senior brother Bai Lingxiao also entered the Xuanwu Conference and won the prize. If I remember correctly, the prize back then was given to my senior brother, right?"

The head was speechless for a moment, then sighed again: "That's all, I won't argue with you."

Zhang Jingmo winked at Lu Guijiu, and Lu Guijiu said, "Thank you, master, for the treasure!" After speaking, he put the chip into Xumijie.

The head said: "Since the Xuanwu Conference is over today, all disciples..."

Lu Guijiu couldn't hear what the head said behind him. He looked like a fool at this moment, staring at Zhang Jingmo, the inexplicable emotion in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.

Lu Guijiu said in a shy voice, "Master."

Seeing that Lu Guijiu was only wearing underwear, Zhang Jingmo described it as a bit embarrassed, and knew that he must have suffered a lot, he said: "Guijiu, you have worked hard."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and patted Lu Guijiu's shoulder lightly.

Lu Guijiu said: "Master, Guijiu is not hard, Guijiu just misses Master a little bit." When he said this, he felt a little embarrassed, he lowered his head and scratched the back of his head.

Seeing Lu Guijiu's rare silly action, Zhang Jingmo laughed again. In fact, he was still hesitant about whether Lu Guijiu could win the first prize, so he went to find his good friend after Lu Guijiu entered the Xuanwu Conference Yu Fen drank.

During this month, Zhang Jingmo didn't have a good night's sleep. Even when he was cultivating, he would think about what happened to Lu Guijiu, whether he would be injured, whether he would be plotted by someone, and whether he would give birth to a baby while he was winning. What an accident...

But Zhang Jingmo didn't expect that the things he worried about Lu Guijiu would happen to other people.

Lu Guijiu and Zhang Jingmo were deeply in love with their master, but when they heard an extremely shrill roar in the hall, everyone immediately quieted down and looked towards the roaring person.

But he saw that the roaring person was Taoist Cen who had been provoking Zhang Jingmo.

The head of the sect was standing beside Daoren Cen at this time, and comforted him in a kind tone: "The moon has its ups and downs, and people have their misfortunes and blessings. Elder Cen, please take it easy." Consolation, but not much emotion.

"My apprentice, my apprentice!!!" Daoist Cen was on the verge of going crazy, if not for all the elders of Lingxu Sect except those who were retreating and going out, they were all in the hall at this time, I am afraid he would have attacked Zhang Jingmo a long time ago.

Seeing this, Zhang Jingmo's eyes showed a bit of sarcasm. He didn't step forward to continue to make trouble, but took two steps to separate Lu Guijiu from Taoist Cen.

Lu Guijiu noticed Zhang Jingmo's intention of protection, and the joy in his heart became more and more intense.

The head of the sect glanced at Zhang Jingmo, and then said to Taoist Cen: "Elder Cen, you have worked hard, so let's go down and rest today."

Elder Cen looked crazy, and his whole body exuded the smell of madness. He drank twice in a hoarse voice, and then just flung his sleeves away.

Zhang Jingmo looked at his leaving back, hooked the corner of his mouth, but said to Lu Guijiu: "Well done."

Lu Guijiu smiled.

The headmaster watched the interaction between Zhang Jingmo and Lu Guijiu not far away, after thinking for a while, he stepped forward and said: "I won't care about this matter, you should be careful."

Zhang Jingmo nodded. Before entering the Xuanwu Conference that day, Daoren Cen spread the word that his apprentice was going to take Lu Guijiu's life, and the headmaster came to persuade him because of this.

But Taoist Cen was so arrogant that he didn't give face to the head of the sect. He said without slander, "Master, this Xuanwu Conference is a life and death conceit. I can't guarantee that Zhang Jingmo's disciple will not have accidents. If you In case he gets hurt, why don't you tell him to crush the wooden sign as soon as he enters the meeting..." After he finished speaking, he burst out laughing.

——It also contrasts with today's appearance of throwing his sleeves and running away in anger.

The head of the sect was dumped of face that day, and today he was just trying to appease Daoren Cen. To be honest, he was not so much worried that Daoren Cen would be angry, but rather that he was more worried that Daoren Cen, who was under great anger, would What crazy things will they do to get revenge on Lu Guijiu and Zhang Jingmo.

Zhang Jingmo was not as worried as the head of the sect, because he knew that Taoist Cen was just the grasshopper after autumn, and he would only be around for a few days.

But he and Lu Guijiu have a bright future.
