Chapter 18: The House Thief

Suddenly, Xiao Yuan heard a special running sound. Immediately afterward, he saw two masked men coming in from the east through the wall. Judging from their body shapes, these two are both men, dressed ordinarily, without weapons, and they can't tell their age with their faces covered.

The Gu family's mansion is large, and it is a martial arts family, so they did not place sentries everywhere in other big families. However, because of this, the walls of the Gu family are higher than those of others. These two people came in over the wall smoothly, indicating that their martial arts were good. And I picked this open space for the shade of a big tree, and after coming in, it was very easy to hide.

Tonight, Gu Peng was injured and went to bed, and Xiao Yuan's two brothers went to the Blue and White Gang and have not yet returned. At this time, a master broke in, and there was bound to be a bad plot. Bai Xiaobai found out, stopped eating, and looked at Xiao Yuan. Xiao Yuan nodded, understanding this tacit understanding with each other. They are to be silent. Xiao Yuan planned to follow them and understand their intentions, so he hid in the dark corner.

When the masked man came in through the wall, he hid behind a tree. After a while, a middle-aged man with a cautious look came to the house. Xiao Yuan looked at it a few times, and finally saw his face clearly, he was He Zhu, the third senior brother of the Gu family's disciple. He Zhu has a status in the Gu family because he and his senior brother Lu He have cultivated Yanghuo. He Zhu suddenly stopped, looked around, and then quickly slipped behind the big tree. Apparently, he was going to meet with the masked man. No, there was soon a whisper. Xiao Yuan wants to improve the vitality and enhance the hearing ability of the ears. As soon as I refreshed myself, the voices were gone, because they were talking briefly.

The two masked men stepped out and walked lightly to the west. Gu Xiaoyuan's location could still be seen, so he didn't move. After a while, the masked man picked a room with no lights on, cut the lock, and slipped in. Presumably, this house was chosen by He Zhu for them. Xiao Yuan couldn't guess their intention to go in, so he continued to observe. After a few moments, the two masked men reappeared in the night. Both of them carried a bag and several decent treasures in their hands.

At this time, Gu Xiaoyuan understood that the Gu family was a thief. The room they entered should have been one of the three ladies, otherwise they would not have stolen so many valuable things.

The three ladies of the Gu family are in charge of each party's business, and they manage people and money outside. Gu Peng's mind was all about practicing martial arts, and he was loose in charge of the family's money. People will have selfish intentions, and some of the income from the three ladies will be stuffed into their own pockets, not all of which will be confiscated. Gu Peng is in his prime, and he is still in love with the three ladies, how can he not see through it, he secretly allowed his wife to build a small treasury privately. This can also be regarded as encouraging the three ladies to manage with their hearts. Anyway, the small treasury built by a woman is not to be left to her baby child in the end.

Gu Xiaoyuan was a little hesitant, although it was his own house that was stolen, he knew that the Gu family had a solid background. These two thieves stealing this bit of stuff will not hurt the foundation of the Gu family. If he makes a block, he is not confident that he will be able to defeat them, of course, with Bai Xiaobai's help, the odds of winning are still very high. But in this way, his own martial arts skills will be a goof. Now that he has not cultivated to the true qi, his vitality has fallen back to the first order, and his ability to protect himself is limited. If he yelled and shouted to catch the thief at this time, who in the Gu family could catch the three of them, He Zhu would be able to shoot fire, and the masked man's kung fu would definitely not be bad.

Gu Xiaoyuan planned to wait and see for a while before making a decision. Xiao Yuan has been hiding in a dark corner and not moving, because of the vitality raised, his vision and hearing have been enhanced. Soon, the two thieves fled back behind the tree and hid.

"Got it?" Listening to the voice, it was what He Zhu said.

"It's done, you see, it's a lot of gains. One of the masked men said.

"It's like this today, and it's hard to take it away no matter how robbed it is. Another masked said.

"Then hurry up, I will look for you in the future. He Zhu said.

Xiao Yuan missed the best time, because now it's too late. The two masked men leaped up to the wall, and He Zhu threw the stolen belongings back to them from the bottom up. The masked man caught him and fled.

It wasn't until the next day that Gu Xiaoyuan learned that the room that was looted last night belonged to the third lady. Because the third lady understands medical science, she has been staying in Gu Peng's room recently. When I went back to my room this morning to freshen up, I found that the lock had been cut and the room was empty. The loss was so heavy that she cried and grabbed the ground, making the entire Gu family know that she was still sick for several days. Later, the other two ladies gave her some money, and her mood improved.

Comparatively speaking, the third lady is the poorest among the three ladies in the small treasury. However, in a martial arts family like the Gu family, the family was looted by thieves, and the loss of money is a small matter, and the loss of face is a big matter. So Gu Peng didn't let her talk around, and he didn't allow his family to talk about it.

It may not be too late to make amends, and after Gu Peng learned about this, he arranged for the Gu family's disciples to take turns on duty and patrol regularly. Especially at night, he sent disciples to take turns on duty.

Gu Xiaoyuan hid what he saw that night in his heart and didn't say anything about it. But since then, he has paid attention to He Zhu. Due to the Gu family's intensified patrols and surprise inspections, no thief dared to offend in the short term.

Gu Xiaoyuan started cultivating again, because this time was a good time. He trapped himself in the house and raised his vitality to the second order as soon as possible. This body had reached the primordial second level of vitality, so if you re-cultivate, the time will be shortened. With the improvement of vitality, Xiao Yuan's daily time for meditation and qi practice will become shorter and shorter, and the extra time is mainly used to comprehend sword intent. After integrating the first sword intent, Xiao Yuan found that to become a master quickly, it was impossible to practice qi, but Wu Jian could. The sword is about talent and chance, and it is not directly proportional to the length of cultivation. Sword intent is the highest state of the sword, and if you can't be diligent alone, you must have talent and chance.

Let's talk about talent first, a sword has vitality, if a cultivator has no talent, it will be difficult for him to condense his mind, he can't communicate with the sword, he can't glow the vitality of the sword, and he can't integrate the sword with the sword, then he won't be able to comprehend the sword intent. Speaking of chance, the sword has vitality, but the vitality of each sword is different, that is to say, the emotional level of the sword is different. If the idea of a famous sword is pathos, we can put pathos has seventy-two levels, with the change of battle, or the change of the surrounding environment, the sword pathos level is fluctuating, sometimes thirteen, sometimes sixty-two, only people who are destined can run with it on the same level and capture it.

It's a pity that Gu Xiaoyuan lamented that he didn't have a famous sword in his hand. Back then, Qing Ge realized thirty-six sword intents, and the reason why there were so many was because he had the No. 1 Tai'a Sword in his hand. The more famous the sword, the stronger the vitality, and the sword intent contained in it will be extremely powerful.

After more than ten days of calm, Xiao Yuan's vitality had recovered to the second-order threshold. The cultivation of sword intent made it feel depressed. Ever since he had fused with the first sword intent, he thought that the door of the sword path would be open to him and it would go smoothly to the end. As a result, after many days, there was no second sword intent. With Xiao Yuan's strong memory, he regained his old eleven sword intent. These sword intents are all used in the fighting skills of the Qi Sect, but they are just tangible and godless. Every time Xiao Yuan tries to integrate, he is so short of a line, and he succeeds. He judged that the sword he was looking for was too weak to support the powerful sword intent.

Unknowingly, it has been two months since he came to Gu's house. Gu Peng has gotten out of bed, can move around at will, injured muscles and broken bones for a hundred days, although he can't practice martial arts like in the past, but it is okay to do some basic skills to restore physical fitness. After this recovery, he found that he had magically entered the country and entered the initial stage of the Yuan Infant Realm. In the Blue and White Gang, the number of people entering the country will not exceed one slap. He thought that he had passed that golden age, and the hope of entering the country was given to Gu Luyong, but he didn't expect a disaster to let him enter.

In addition, Gu Peng found that his body was more used than before, his spirit was better, and his vitality was different from before, and he was more regular and stronger. The cultivation of Yang Huo, he has always been controlled in his body by suppressing it, which is quite painful and difficult, because Yang Huo has always been restless. After recovering from his injury, he found that the two yang fires in Xia Dantian were no longer manic, they were well protected by a cloud of qi and became easy to control. The spirit is good, the qi is smooth, and the blood is smooth, this rare best state should be a good time for him to hit the third yang fire. Helplessly, he had just been seriously injured, and he couldn't cultivate Yang Huo for the time being for the past two months, which made his heart itch.

The eldest young master and the second young master of the Gu family can be described as crazy recently, because there is a competition at the end of this month. This competition is of great significance, and the top three in the competition will become the Qinghua Gang Incense Master, which is actually the candidate for the Hall Master. The position of the incense master directly affects the prosperity and decline of the gang or family. In addition, if the Gu family can win the first place, they can also win the ancient wooden zheng.

The ancient wooden zither was taken back by Zhou Qin, but she couldn't swallow it privately, so she could only hand it over to the gang to deal with. The Blue and White Gang has caused conflicts because of the ownership of the ancient wooden kite, and there have even been tearing up. In order to win the ancient wooden zheng, the Butterfly Gang, the Flying Eagle Gang, the Zhou family, and the Gu family have all contributed and sold their lives. Before, Fan Dacheng, the leader of the Blue and White Gang, promised, and the deliberations were passed, whoever killed the four bandits, Gu Muzheng would belong to whomever it was. The Wanton Gang was strangled by the Zhou family, and it stands to reason that the Zhou family should get the ancient wooden zither, but they killed people, but they didn't grab the ancient wooden zheng. The ancient wooden zither was transferred to the black-clothed man Dong Yong.

Later, the gang leader Fan Dacheng promised that whoever killed the black-clothed man Dong Yong and captured the ancient wooden zither would belong to whoever the ancient wooden zither washer, and the deliberation was also passed. As a result, the man in black was poisoned by the Butterfly Gang, and the ancient wooden zither was stolen by Zhou Qin, and a monkey suddenly appeared and took Dong Yong away. The man in black, Dong Yong, was not killed by anyone on the spot, but after almost a month, the others did not appear again, and the Butterfly Gang thought that they had successfully killed the man in black with a poison dart. The Gu family also wanted to rob the ancient wooden zheng, Gu Peng almost died in Huangquan when he carried out the operation, and only by obtaining the ancient wooden zheng, could he make up for the loss of the Gu family.

After many rounds of deliberations, the top management of the Blue and White Gang finally decided to speak with their fists, if the disciples of the Butterfly Gang, the Flying Eagle Gang, the Zhou family, and the Gu family won the first place in this competition, the ancient wooden zither would belong to him.
