"Ahem. . . Ahem! Zhang Xiu coughed suddenly, and her face became even paler.

"Are you alright?" Zhao Guoqing hurriedly asked.

"No.. It's okay. Zhang Xiu shook his head, took a sigh of relief, and then squeezed out a smile and said, "It's an old problem, it seems that I really have to quit smoking." ”

Zhao Guoqing was silent, and suddenly reached out and clasped Zhang Xiu's pulse.

"You.." Zhang Xiu was startled at first, and instinctively wanted to resist, you must know that the pulse gate is very important to those who practice martial arts, and once it is controlled, it will be difficult to get out of trouble. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xiu noticed that Zhao Guoqing was not hostile, but more like he was diagnosing him, so he relaxed. Besides, if Zhao Guoqing really wanted to embarrass him, he would not be able to resist with his strength.

After a while, Zhao Guoqing stretched out his hand and tapped at the place under Zhang Xiu's lungs, and asked, "Do you feel unbearable pain every time your true qi runs here?" ”

"How do you know?" Zhang Xiu asked with a surprised face, it really hurts when his true qi runs there, and this is also a secret of his, and he has never told outsiders.

"It's not that you smoke too much, but that you forcibly break through during practice and go a little crazy." Zhao Guoqing said in a low voice.

Zhang Xiu's face was horrified, and when he recalled it carefully, his pain did appear from a time when he forcibly broke through, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but then it became more and more painful.

"Don't be afraid, I can help you heal, but you have to trust me." Zhao Guoqing said with a straight face.

"You saved my Zhang Xiu's life, even if you want to take it away at any time, how can I not believe you?" Zhang Xiu said with a serious face.

"Okay." Zhao Guoqing responded lightly, took out a golden needle and pierced the pain point in Zhang Xiu's lungs, and then said, "Now start to concentrate all the true qi in your body on this golden needle, quickly!" ”

Zhang Xiu didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately ran the true qi in his body to reach the golden needle.

"Hmm." Zhang Xiu let out a soft snort, and his face became ugly, obviously enduring great pain.

"Bear with it and keep running the true qi!" Zhao Guoqing shouted in a low voice.

Zhang Xiu didn't dare to stop, and continued to urge the true qi in his body to gather on the golden needle, and the golden needle trembled slightly, and the pain also doubled.

Sweat continued to slide down Zhang Xiu's face like raindrops, and this face had long been crowded together, first becoming red, and then becoming bloodless again.

"Ahh Zhang Xiu suddenly screamed and fainted.

"Captain Zhang, Captain Zhang.."

Zhang Xiu woke up in a daze when he heard someone calling him, opened his eyes and saw Zhao Guoqing looking at him with a smile, and asked suspiciously: "I.. I'm not dead? ”

Zhao Guoqing nodded and said with a smile: "Captain Zhang, now run the true qi in your body to test." ”

The memories before fainting came to mind, and Zhang Xiu had palpitations when he thought of the overwhelming pain, but he still ran the true qi in his body according to Zhao Guoqing's instructions.

"This.." Zhang Xiu couldn't believe that the true qi in his body was as vigorous as vast, more than twice as powerful as before, and there was no pain when he ran through the empty space in his lungs, but it was very comfortable. "Brother Zhao, you... What was done to me? ”

Zhao Guoqing smiled: "I didn't do anything, just induced a real breakthrough." ”

"A real breakthrough?" Zhang Xiu looked at Zhao Guoqing with a puzzled expression.

Zhao Guoqing explained: "The last time you forcibly broke through, it was actually a fake breakthrough, that is to say, it was not a real breakthrough, so that the true qi that went mad and fell into the devil was blocked in the acupuncture points of the lungs, which would make the pain unbearable every time the true qi ran here." ”

Zhang Xiu's eyes widened and she nodded as if she didn't understand.

Zhao Guoqing continued: "Just now I asked you to gather all your true qi in this acupoint, just to help you break through the previous depression qi, which made you get a breakthrough in the real sense. ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he immediately turned over and knelt down in front of Zhao Guoqing and said: "Brother Zhao, you not only saved my Zhang Xiu's life, but also helped me break through like a reborn parent. As he spoke, he slammed a fist-sized stone into his body.

With a "pop", the stone turned into stone dust.

"Captain Zhang, please get up quickly." Zhao Guoqing hurriedly helped Zhang Xiu up, but he calmly accepted Zhang Xiu's promise in his heart.

If it weren't for Zhao Guoqing's help, Zhang Xiu would not only not be able to get a breakthrough in the real sense, but as time passed, he would no longer be able to use the true qi in his body, which would be equivalent to a wasted person.

Now it's the complete opposite, after getting a breakthrough in the real sense, Zhang Xiu's strength has increased greatly, and if he fights an opponent like Jia Long, he can kill him in seconds without saying a single move, which is enough to defeat the opponent in a short time.

After getting up, Zhang Xiu asked curiously: "Brother Zhao, there is one thing I don't know whether to ask or not?" ”

"Captain Zhang, excuse me." Zhao Guoqing said.

Zhang Xiu then said: "Brother Zhao, I know that you left the village because of something before, and now your sudden return is related to the chaos in the village?" ”

Zhao Guoqing nodded, and after a brief explanation, he said: "I have to go to the second ward of the prison!" ”

So that's it!

After Zhang Xiu figured it out, he immediately said: "Brother Zhao, if you don't dislike it, then how about I, Zhang Xiu, go to the second district with you?" ”

It is naturally a good thing to have someone to accompany you, but Zhao Guoqing shook his head.

"Captain Zhang, I appreciate your kindness, but now we are in turmoil in the village, and you also have your responsibility, you must not enter the second district with me." Zhao Guoqing said with a serious face.

Zhang Xiu also knew the importance of his location, and the more prisoners crossed the Fenshui River, the more turmoil the village would become.

In the past, Zhang Xiu may not have been able to subdue the U-class prisoner with full certainty, but now he can easily deal with it, so he can't leave easily.

"This.." After Zhang Xiu hesitated, he took out a sheepskin map from his arms, handed it to Zhao Guoqing and said, "The reason why the prisoners in District 2 can't easily cross the Fenshui River is because there are many mechanisms set up in the Fenshui River, and Brother Zhao can try to pass through the Fenshui River according to this map. It's just that the topographic map of District 2 drawn on this map is ten years ago, and because no one has entered District 2 in the past ten years, I don't know the real situation over there, and I'm afraid there will change. ”

"Thank you." Zhao Guoqing happily took over the map, as long as he could enter the second area smoothly, as for the rest of the matter, let's talk about it later.

"Brother Zhao, there is something I must make clear to you." Zhang Xiu suddenly spoke again, and after a pause, he said, "We have actually lost the real supervision of the second ward of the prison ten years ago, and the task of the Fenshui River Patrol is only to monitor whether there are prisoners in the second ward who have escaped. ”

Zhao Guoqing's face changed slightly, this was the first time he had heard of this, before he came, he had always thought that the second district was completely under the control of the village like the first district.

Zhang Xiu continued: "The prisoners in the second district are all super strong prisoners, and some of them are already invincible to me. ”

Invincible, what's that concept?

Zhao Guoqing dared to be surprised and asked, "Could it be that even the village is not the opponent of those people you said?" ”

Zhang Xiu shook his head and replied, "I don't know." But I know that if someone on our side can defeat them, then they won't lose control of Region 2! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Guoqing frowned, and his eyes looked in the direction where the Fenshui River was located.

On the other side of the river is the second prison area, which also belongs to the jurisdiction of the village, but now it has become a forbidden area for the village, and everything in it is unknown and mysterious to the outside world.

"Since the prisoners inside are so powerful, why don't they leave?" Zhao Guoqing asked curiously.

Zhang Xiu replied: "It's not that they don't want to be powerful, but they can't get out of there at all?" ”

"Why?" Zhao Guoqing asked.

Zhang Xiu explained: "The prisoners detained there are basically geniuses in martial arts, but in comparison, the technology is very backward. Before each prisoner is sent to Ward 2, we implant a small electric nucleus in his body. This electric core is set up with a range of movement, and the watershed river is a boundary, once the prisoners cross the watershed river, the electric core will be activated, and no matter how strong the person who escapes out will be electrocuted to death! ”

I see.

Zhao Guoqing understood.

Wait a minute..

"Captain Zhang, according to you, isn't it impossible for a person like Jia Long to cross the Fenshui River? But why didn't they die? Zhao Guoqing asked puzzled.

Zhang Xiu shook his head and replied: "I can't explain this, I can only infer that there is a problem with some settings, so that the U-class prisoner can cross the Fenshui River, but so far I haven't seen a higher-level prisoner come out." ”

That's good.

Zhao Guoqing breathed a sigh of relief, as long as those monsters that were strong enough to a certain extent could not cross the Fenshui River, otherwise they didn't know what kind of disaster would occur.

However, it is precisely because of this incident that Zhao Guoqing's determination to enter the second district has been strengthened, he must rescue Xiao Yaxi, and at the same time, he must also determine whether the higher-level prisoners are really unable to cross the Fenshui River.

"Thank you Captain Zhang for your advice, I'm still on my way and I'm leaving." Zhao Guoqing arched his hand as he spoke.

"Brother Zhao be careful all the way, I'm waiting for you to come back on this side of the Fenshui River!" Zhang Xiu arched his hand as he spoke.

Separated from Zhang Xiu, Zhao Guoqing ran towards the Fenshui River at full speed, and suddenly he felt that something was following him, his body slammed, and then a flying knife was thrown out.

"Smack." The knife was nailed to a tree, and a string of sparks flashed from it.

Zhao Guoqing stepped forward to take a look and saw a dragonfly on the tip of the knife.

However, this is no ordinary dragonfly, but a mechanical spy disguised as a dragonfly.

In other words, his every move just now was filmed by this dragonfly and transmitted to a certain place.
