Chapter 203: Zhu Guo
Gu Sangzi's tone was modest, but there was a sense of arrogance in his words.
He is not boasting, there are very few top masters in the realm of great grandmasters, not to mention that he is still a descendant of Zhuang Zhou, whether it is internal strength, fists and feet, and light skills, he is the best, and he can also be in the forefront of the world's great grandmasters.
However, he rarely fights with others, and if he really fights, he may not be able to win against those great masters of the actual combat school.
"Thank you for your kindness, it's just that I still have to go to the Western Regions to do business, and I really can't stay for long." Ge Baoshan politely refused.
However, he thought that when he got the "Four Seasons" sword technique, he could return to the same view, so that Liu Zheng could practice martial arts here with peace of mind, and then go out of the mountain when his martial arts were successful.
Anyway, isn't this kid claiming to want to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests? There are beautiful scenery, mountain springs, Taoist temples, and a big master to ask for advice, so he has nothing to be dissatisfied with.
At that time, Liu Zheng will not be able to stay and miss the outside world of flowers, so don't blame him for urging him to revitalize the division.
Ge Baoshan was secretly proud of his wit, and was glad that he had learned a good medical skill.
"I don't know what it is, but is there anything that can help?" Gu Sangzi asked immediately.
He has grown up in the same view since he was a child, and the most he can do on weekdays is to go to the nearby village to change some daily necessities, and rarely deal with people, so he is still a pure heart when he is over half a hundred years old, and he talks and behaves like a teenager.
Ge Baoshan was slightly stunned, but he also knew that most of the descendants of Zhuang Zhou had a special temperament, so he didn't take it to heart.
After thinking about it, he originally planned to let Liu Zheng practice martial arts in the same view, and he thought that Gu Sangzi couldn't use the "Four Seasons" sword technique, and there was nothing that could not be said.
Since you want to talk about it, simply explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly to avoid misunderstandings.
"I wonder if you've ever heard of the Decay Water Sect?"
Gu Sangzi pondered for a while, and finally remembered: "It seems to have been mentioned in Taishigong's travelogue that it is a branch of the Zhengyi line, and there are many masters in the door, and it has the potential to be on a par with Longhu Mountain. ”
Ge Baoshan sighed and said, "That is already in the past, and now there are only three old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the Guishui Sect. ”
Mingyue secretly rolled her eyes, this old thing, stuttering equals being sick and disabled, and you can't get over it.
"That's quite a lot of people." Gu Sangzi said subconsciously.
Ge Baoshan's sad emotions were choked back again, but no, compared to the same view of the old and the young, they have a lot of people.
He ignored Gu Sangzi's words and continued: "For some reason, my sect's peerless Xuanbing Blue Fire Palm has been lost, and now if you want to revitalize the Guishui Sect, you must find another peerless sect. My junior brother found the clue of the 'Four Seasons' sword technique in the Western Regions, and we went to the Western Regions to find this unique science. ”
"I see. Alas, it's a pity that I'm too young to be separated from anyone, otherwise I would have to go to the Western Regions to help the three of them find that mastery. Lone Mulberry sighed.
Ge Baoshan said with a smile: "This is a matter within the faction, even if Daoist friends want to go, we have to refuse politely." ”
Gu Sangzi nodded embarrassedly, and said: "It's just that I don't repay the grace of saving my life, I really can't be at peace in my heart, I'm afraid that it will affect my cultivation." ”
He pondered for a moment, as if his heart was at war between heaven and man.
The three of them didn't know what he was thinking, and they couldn't be disturbed, so they looked at each other and remained silent.
After a while, Gu Sangzi let out a sigh of relief and said, "Well, after all, it is something outside the body, and it should be given up." ”
After saying this, he stood up and said, "Please come with me." ”
The three of them followed Gu Sangzi out of Xiuzhen Hall, and then came out of the same view, until they walked behind a mountain before stopping.
Lone Mulberry reached out and opened the tightly covered vines, revealing a human-sized entrance, and took the lead in getting in.
The three of them followed the fish and found that there was a hole in the entrance.
Once inside, there is a small valley in front of you, with lush flowers and plants, a clear stream, and the cheerful cries of insects and birds.
But there was only one tree in the valley, standing alone in the middle of the valley.
"That's..."Ge Baoshan looked at the strangely shaped tree, and inexplicably remembered something, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"That's the Zhu Guo tree." Lone Mulberry explained.
"Ah, I remembered, the tree is divided into nine branches, and the branches and leaves are like jade, which is indeed the appearance recorded in the classics." Ge Baoshan patted his head and said.
It is recorded in the "Treasure of Heaven and Earth" that the Zhuguo tree has nine branches, and the texture of the branches and leaves is the same as that of beautiful jade.
"This Zhuguo tree was accidentally discovered by my Taixuan Master, and seeing that the surrounding scenery is quiet and suitable for seclusion, he built the same temple nearby, and has settled down since then." The solitary mulberry introduced the origin of the same view.
"Fellow Daoist?" Ge Baoshan remembered something.
"That's right, every generation takes it once." Gu Sangzi knew what he wanted to ask, and nodded.
"No wonder Daoist friends are not very old, but they have reached the realm of great grandmasters." Ge Baoshan said enviously.
Although the hair of the lone mulberry is all white, you can see that it is only about fifty when you look at the face.
And Ge Baoshan and Mingyue are older than him, but they haven't even arrived at the grandmaster, so they are really more popular than others.
"I'm just inheriting my predecessor's example. The poor road has no long things, only this Zhu Guo can still be handled, so he will give it to him and express his gratitude. Lone Mulberry said earnestly.
"How can this make me, I just happened to pass by, those few flavors of herbs are just ordinary things, how can I be so gifted." Ge Baoshan hurriedly refused.
"The sage once said that if you take the gold, you will not be harmed, and if you don't take the gold, you will not redeem the person." Gu Sangzi did not persuade hard, but told an allusion.
At the time of the rise of the princes, there was a state that if their own people were enslaved abroad, those who ransomed them could go to the treasury for ransom reimbursement.
And once the disciple of the saint ransomed someone but did not want to receive the ransom, the saint criticized him, and you have raised the cost of doing good deeds, and from then on the people of your own country will never ransom people again.
Ge Baoshan has read poetry and books, so he naturally knows this allusion, and he can't refute it for a while.
Seeing the situation, Gu Sangzi continued to persuade: "My master and apprentice are hiding in the mountains, never fighting with others, practicing martial arts is just to strengthen the body, and it doesn't matter if you are high or low. But you still have to go to the Western Regions to find a peerless school, and the more strength you have, the more you can grasp. ”
In the end, the long-cherished wish to revitalize the sect still overwhelmed Ge Baoshan's reserve, and he sighed and said, "Then I'll be ashamed to wait." ”
Gu Sangzi was also very happy to see him accept, and pointed to the Zhu Guo tree and said, "The Zhu Guo has been ripe the day before yesterday, and you must pick it off and take it within three days, otherwise it will rot and fall." It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I think you can choose someone to take it off now. ”
Ge Baoshan thought for a while and said, "Senior brother, you can eat this Zhu Guo." With your accumulation, eating this vermilion fruit will definitely break through the realm of the grandmaster. ”
Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and said with a dissatisfied face: "Senior brother, why do you look down on me like this." Ah is your apprentice, isn't it my nephew? As the head of the Guishui faction, I have been the first of the younger generations. ”
"Uncle Shi, that's not what Master meant. My foundation is shallow, even if I eat Zhu Guo, it may not be of much effect, but if you break through the realm of grandmasters, uncle, we don't have to threaten to die together. Liu Zheng persuaded.
Hearing Liu Zheng's words, Mingyue's expression loosened a little, but she immediately said firmly: "You two masters and apprentices don't use words to trick me, I know what my talent is, and this life will end up with the grandmaster." After eating Zhu Guo, it was only seven or eight years earlier, and it was a waste of heaven and earth. Needless to say, Ah Zheng, you go pick it up and eat it, or I'll do it
It's hard stuffed. ”
Liu Zheng saw that he was resolute, so he looked at Ge Baoshan, and when he saw Ge Baoshan, he also nodded, so he had to walk towards Zhu Guoshu.
The vermilion fruit grew on the top of the vermilion tree, a red and round one, surrounded by a halo of light, and it was not an ordinary thing at first glance.
The Zhu Guo tree is not high, he jumped lightly to reach the Zhu Guo to take it off, as soon as he got his hand, he felt that the palm of his hand was hot, and after a closer look, a red mark had been scalded.
"Good guy, if you take this when you haven't strengthened your body, you won't immediately blister it out." Liu Zheng secretly spoke, threw Zhu Guo into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.
Zhu Guo immediately turned into a hot flame and flowed to the limbs and hundreds of remains.
"Where is this fruit, it's obviously napalm." Feeling the pain of being melted, he couldn't help but complain.
The dragon's blood, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly became excited, and it quickly flowed through its body to chase the flames.
As if some mysterious switch had been turned on, the power of water and fire, the power of striking iron, and the true qi of dehydration all appeared, and they were busy in their bodies.
Liu Zheng, who was so immortalized by the water and land dojo in his body, rolled his eyes and fainted neatly.
"In vain." Ge Baoshan immediately rushed up and reached out to grab his wrist.
It's just that as soon as he crossed into it, he was torn to pieces by several forces.
He was unwilling to take a stronger breath of true qi, which resulted in a stronger counterattack.
"This." Ge Baoshan didn't dare to strengthen his true qi anymore, and looked at Gu Sangzi anxiously.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, this Zhu Guo is powerful, but it doesn't hurt people, let the disciples sleep for a few days, and wait for the medicine to subside." Lone Mulberry comforted.
There must be relevant records in the same view, and the lone mulberry himself has eaten it, and he said that it should be okay if it is fine, and Ge Baoshan is a lot more relieved.
"Then can he be in a hurry?" He asked with concern.
"It's okay, and Zhu Guo's medicinal power can satisfy hunger, just give him water to drink these days." Lone Mulberry reminded.
"Fellow Daoist took us to the treasure land, aren't you afraid that we will leak out?" Mingyue asked suddenly.
"The three Taoist friends know the ancient way at a glance, and the warm-hearted people will not do such villain things. Moreover, although Zhu Guo is precious, it is nothing outside the body, as long as he is not an evil person, he will be given it if he can grab it. Lone Mulberry smiled.
"The heirs of Zhuang Zhou are really free and easy, if all the factions of the martial arts can think like you, I don't know how much dispute to reduce." Ge Baoshan said with emotion.
"The red dust is like a furnace, all living beings are in it, and we are just living in seclusion and seeking purity." Lonely mulberry said.
"Alas, pure and pure, how many people in this world can be pure." Ge Baoshan sighed.
The four of them left the valley, closed the vines again, and returned to the temple.
"I am very grateful for the gift from Daoyou, but I have something important to do, so I can't delay, so I will leave it at that, and there will be a period later." Ge Baoshan hugged his fist.
"Zhu Guo is just an external object, Taoist friends and I have the grace to save our lives, and the door of the same view will always be open for the three of us at any time in the future." The lone mulberry also hugged his fists.
After saying goodbye, Ge Baoshan tied Liu Zheng to the horse, and the three of them went towards the road they came.
