Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 425 Competitive spirit

Snow Girl stands in the snow, manipulating her "toys" with spells.

The "toys" jumped up and down.

But she was like a beautiful ice sculpture, expressionless and motionless.

I don't know how long it has passed, and she seems to be tired of playing, and she thought again, these animals made of ice and snow melted into water one after another, and disappeared.

Then she raised her head, looked at the snowflakes flying all over the sky, and said softly: "Heavenly Immortal Biyu Qiongyao, some poplar flowers, pieces of goose feathers."

Her voice was light and sweet.When it fell into Gu Xu's ears, it didn't seem like he was reciting a poem, but more like singing in a low voice.

Perhaps it was because of Xue Nu's fierce reputation.

Staying with her recently, Gu Xu almost forgot that she used to be a poet, famous for her talent in poetry and painting, and was recognized by the "Jinghong Pen".

Looking at the crystal clear snowflakes falling on her black hair, skirt, and cuffs, adorning her whole body like bright jewels, Gu Xu also expressed his feelings on the spur of the moment:
"It should be the celestial beings who got drunk and smashed the white clouds."

Hearing his voice, Xue Nu immediately turned her head and stared at him for a while.

Her eyes were still as deep as a cold pool, making Gu Xu unable to fathom her thoughts.

He didn't know whether she was surprised by his "poetic talent" like in Lu's haunted house, or was annoyed because he disturbed her interest.

"Accompanying a fierce god is like accompanying a tiger," Gu Xu murmured silently in his heart, "It's not easy to serve a bodyguard with the strength of a saint well."

After a brief silence, it seemed that the poem chanted by Gu Xu had aroused her competitive spirit. Xue Nu raised her right hand and flicked it lightly in the air.

Those snowflakes that fell from the sky suddenly hovered in the air, and then condensed together, turning into a line of shining words——

"I only see jade dust sprinkled, silver sand rolling, and the sky full of Luan Cranes, and the green hills are old in an instant."

Gu Xu recited this poem silently, and couldn't help admiring Xue Nu's talent again in his mind.

She has already mastered the rhetoric in the poem to a superb level, especially the line "The green hills are easy to grow old", which vividly depicts the scene of the mountains and plains covered in white at this moment.

At this time, Xue Nu looked at Gu Xu again.

Although her expression was still indifferent, Gu Xu sensed that she wanted to compete with him from the ever-decreasing temperature around her.

Just like a lonely warrior who is invincible in the world, he suddenly meets an evenly matched opponent and says to him:

"This trick, can you take it?"

Gu Xu smiled lightly.

He mentioned the "Jinghong Brush", splashed ink in the air, and the pen flew away.

The verses written by Xue Nu disappeared in an instant, and turned into another line of tall, vigorous and clean handwriting——

"Mountain dance silver snake, Yuanchi wax figure, I want to compete with the god of heaven."

The moment he finished writing, a strong wind howled in the mountains and fields, and the surrounding pines and cypresses shook violently, as if they might be uprooted by the strong wind at any time.

The sky also became dark.Layers of black clouds cover the sky, and there is no gap to be seen.

Snow Maiden's black hair fluttered wildly in the air.

It is like a burning black flame, and it is also like the cursive script of Luanxiang Fengzhu on white rice paper.

Gu Xu saw that her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes moved repeatedly between Gu Xu and the poem.

If Gu Xu remembered correctly, this should be the first change in the expression on Xue Nu's face since she woke up.

After a while, Xue Nu flicked her sleeves again.

The snow on the ground rose up and hung in the air, like silver-white cloth.

Xue Nu's calligraphy turned into invisible scissors, cutting out new characters on the cloth, just like a girl in her boudoir cutting New Year's window grilles.

"Where are thousands of scissors in the chemical industry, cut out jade butterflies and dance in the sky. Falling to the ground silently and greasy like smoke, waiting for the gap to sneak in and cunning like rain."

This is another move of hers.

Gu Xu accepted the move calmly.

The "Jinghong Brush" danced in the air, and once again used frost and snow as ink to outline a line of strong, chic and heroic words——

"Five Dings fought against Yunni with their swords, and took the emperor's body directly under the Milky Way. 30 jade dragons were killed in battle, and the wind of defeated scales flew all over the sky."

The blizzard on Yishan became more violent.

The dome of the sky turned into a pitch-black abyss, and the dark clouds looked like the flames of hell, with bluish-purple lightning flashing among them, like dancing fiery snakes.

The poem Gu Xu copied is "Snow" by Song Dynasty poet Zhang Yuan.Among the poems depicting snow scenes in previous dynasties, it can be regarded as unique.

The snow described by other poets is either fluttering like fluff, or swirling, or crystal clear, or made of powder and jade.

But what this poem is about is that five strong men hold swords and fight against the Heavenly Emperor in the cloud, and finally capture Tianhe and take down the imperial capital.The white snow all over the sky is compared to the broken armor of the heavenly soldiers and generals when they were defeated in battle and the scales of 30 jade dragons.

When he was writing, Gu Xu couldn't help thinking that if the people of the Daqi court saw this poem, they would definitely label him as a "rebel" and arrest him for execution at any cost.

But more, he still feels that this poem is very suitable for his current situation——

I don't know if he can "take the Milky Way and the lower emperor's body directly" as in the poem when he faces Emperor Tianxing and Taishang Haotian in the future.

Snow Maiden no longer responded.

She stared at Gu Xu for a while, then turned and returned to the cave.

Gu Xu was left alone, standing alone on the cliff, bathed in the overwhelming snowfall.

"Is she admitting defeat?"

While thinking about it, Gu Xu smiled and shook his head.

Logically speaking, defeating the most famous talented woman of the Daqi Dynasty in recent years in terms of poetry is something to be extremely proud of.

But Gu Xu just felt a little embarrassed.

After all, he was bullying people by copying poems—no, he was bullying ghosts.

However, perhaps it was because Xuenv clearly showed the ice and snow road in front of him today, or maybe it was because the "Jinghong Pen" became more active after meeting its former owner.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Xu suddenly realized two new spells——

One said, "Heavenly Immortals Are Drunk".

The second is "the wind of defeating scales".

As for the phrase "mountain dancing silver snake", Gu Xu felt that his comprehension of it was not enough, and maybe he needed to go through some more things and think a little more before he could grasp the true meaning of it.

But his intuition told him that once this new spell takes shape in the future, it will definitely have shocking power.

…………

Snow Girl returned to the cave and walked into the shadow behind the stone pillar.

In her mind, she was still silently reminiscing about the poems that Gu Xu just wrote.

She thought that after living alone on the top of Yishan Mountain for nearly 20 years, she had gradually forgotten human emotions and life experiences in Lu's house.

But just now, the scene of the Lu Zhai poetry meeting in the past suddenly appeared in her mind, as if it happened yesterday.

At that time, she was the only one who stood out from the crowd.

So that it feels very boring.

But after seeing Gu Xu's poem today, she was surprised to find that she also had the boring emotion of "competitiveness".
