A building boat slowly approached the North Gate Wharf in Dancheng, and Gu Xinzheng greeted it with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, how dare you bother the owner of the Qu Helm to go out in person?"

Qu Fubo, the helmsman of the Suzhou branch of the Changhe Gang, jumped off the boat, patted Gu Xinzheng's shoulder, and laughed: "You are the big patron of our Changhe Gang, since you want to take our boat, I must ensure your safety." ”

Gu Xinzheng smiled and said, "Are we in danger?"

Qu Fubo said continuously: "No, no, just be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, begging for a life on the water all year round, and being used to seeing unprovoked wind and waves, it is inevitable that you will be less courageous, please get on the boat." ”

Gu Xinzheng beckoned everyone to get on the boat, and said: "I'm sorry, I have a servant who saw the thief assassinate Cheng Wang Shizi because he happened to be at his meeting, and now he is accompanying Cheng Wang Shizi's family to report to the official, can you wait a little longer." ”

Qu Fubo smiled ambiguously and said, "No problem." ”

Gu Xinzheng suddenly heard footsteps behind him, looked back, and saw Ouyang Heng, who was blue-faced, surrounded by four big men, rushed to see him off, and hurriedly said: "Ouyang Gang Leader is unwell, let's go back and rest early, no need to send it." ”

Ouyang Heng was injured by the Yin Force of the Emperor last night, but it was fine, and he smiled reluctantly when he heard this: "It doesn't matter." I'm sorry, my uncle suddenly suffered from a serious illness last night, and I took care of it until dawn, so it was late to see him off, and the second son of Gu was not strange. ”

Gu Xinzheng thought of Feng Lei's pierced abdomen and asked, "How is Uncle Ling now?"

Ouyang Heng said with a bitter face: "He suddenly fainted last night, and when he fell, he hurt his flesh and skin, and the doctor said that there was no problem with his external injury, and he would be fine if he recuperated for a while, but his strange disease was not easy to treat, although his life was saved, I am afraid that he will not be able to use force in the future, and the cold poison will attack every day, and the pain will be unbearable." Hey, with my uncle's temper, it's better to die than to end up like this. ”

Gu Xinzheng secretly exclaimed, he didn't expect that the remnant flower yin qi was so vicious, fortunately, the seventh uncle arrived and drove out the cold poison for the injured people on his side, otherwise the consequences would be worrying, and he said: "Ouyang Gang Leader, don't lose hope, there are many good doctors in the world, why don't you visit famous doctors all over the world and see what good strategies there are?"

Ouyang Heng sighed: "That's it." Immediately cheered up: "On the way I came, I met friends who were at the same table last night, and they all said that you were in good spirits, and you didn't let them go until the third watch, and I didn't dare to drink with you next time." ”

Gu Xinzheng smiled slightly: "That's Ouyang Gang Leader's good drinking, it's none of our business." Suddenly, he saw Gu Song galloping towards him, and then said, "We are all here, Ouyang Gang Leader, and there will be a period later." ”

When he came to the ship, Gu Xinzheng saw that everyone had arrived, so he informed Qu Fubo, and he followed Qu Fubo's men to the bedroom arranged in the boat. As soon as he sat down, he saw Gu Song push the door and enter: "Second son!"

Gu Xinzheng said: "How is the situation?"

Gu Song smiled: "There is no problem, the Taishou surnamed Zheng asked about the situation, knowing that as soon as I stepped into the gate of Lu Xiu's courtyard, Lu Xiu was killed in the hall, and the servants in Lu Xiu's mansion testified that the murder was definitely not done by me, so he let me go, and the maid who was sent to him temporarily lived in the Taishou Mansion, waiting for King Cheng to send someone to receive it." What about those people with thin beards, they didn't slip through the net, did they?"

Gu Xinzheng also smiled: "There is an ancient killing, where will there be a living mouth?" The body has been cremated, and the hidden weapon in it has also been retrieved, so there should be no handle left." ”

Gu Song said: "I'm not afraid of other people killing them, it's just that the bones of those killed by Gu Dao Mixed Yuan Card must be broken, and they can still be checked out after cremation." ”

Gu Xinzheng smiled and patted Gu Song: "You think carefully, but you worry too much, at most you will be found to be injured by a heavy weapon, even if you are recognized as playing the mixed yuan card, there is not only Gu Dao who uses the mixed yuan card in the world." As long as no one can prove that they were in Dancheng last night, no one can make a conclusion and slander us for assassinating the royal family. Okay, go and rest. ”

Gu Xinsheng squinted his eyes, lay comfortably on the soft floor, and relaxed wholeheartedly. Suddenly, the door was suddenly pushed open, Gu Xinsheng didn't open his eyes, and said slowly: "Who is so rude?"

"Why are you so alert, what if I'm an enemy?"

Gu Xinsheng sighed: "I can guess it's you." Saying that, he opened his eyes and sat up: "Miss Xia, what are you doing?"

Xia Yuying came to the opposite of Gu Xinsheng, sat on the chair, and looked around: "How do you know it's me?"

Gu Xinsheng said angrily: "If you have something, just say it, don't disturb my rest if it's okay!"

Xia Yuying pouted and said, "Why are you all the same tone, I'm leaving!"

Gu Xinsheng sighed secretly in his heart, and stopped Xia Yuying, who got up and wanted to leave: "Who else besides me said you?"

Xia Yuying said angrily: "Sister Yuelian is studying, Yi Fenghan and Gu Mengya are there to write and send messages to Yi Tianxing's dead ghost, your fourth brother has gone to find your seventh uncle, and Yan Jiutian is lying there and ignores me." ”

Gu Xinsheng's heart moved: "It seems that Brother Yan took the severed hand of the demon last night, and he was poisoned by the cold, and he hasn't cleared it up yet, so I'll go find Uncle Seven." He stood up.

Xia Yuying stopped him: "No need, Yan Jiutian has practiced the Divine Hand Xuangong, if he is poisoned by the cold, he should be able to expel it." He was a proud man who did not like to be favored. ”

Gu Xinsheng lay down again: "Okay, since you say so, I won't have much to do." Why didn't you go to your father's old department, their children are not much older than you, and they should be able to talk about one place. ”

Xia Yuying shook her hand and said: "Don't mention them, they made me goosebumps when they saw me, and they spoke very cautiously, for fear of being scolded by my father for saying the wrong thing, forget it." ”

Gu Xinsheng smiled: "Isn't that good, there are so many loyal and obedient subordinates sitting at home." ”

Xia Yuying said: "What about you, I found that your servants are very powerful in martial arts." ”

Gu Xinsheng said: "No, there are only four of my servants' martial arts who are strong in martial arts, two of them were my father's scholars, and they got the true inheritance of this family from my father; one was bought back by my brother, this person was born with divine power, and after being given martial arts, he made rapid progress; and the other is my sister-in-law's maid who has followed my sister-in-law to practice martial arts since childhood. ”

Xia Yuying said: "No, I saw Gu Bai's skills last night, and he was only higher than you." The others not only assassinated Lu Xiu safely, but also killed all his guards, and finally retreated, which was also an unusual master. Honka's eyes are shallow and restrained, and his internal strength is probably the highest in your line. ”

Gu Xinsheng glanced at Xia Yuying and said, "Your eyesight is not bad, but they are not our family's servants, we just say this outside, and they have always been so humble." ”

Xia Yuyingqi said: "Oh, then what are they?"

Gu Xinsheng said: "Guest, just stay longer." ”

Xia Yuying said: "How long?"

Gu Xinsheng propped himself up, leaned on his head, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, maybe for a lifetime." ”

Xia Yuying was about to ask again, but Gu Xinjian had already retreated and entered: "What are you talking about?"

Gu Xinsheng smiled: "Miss Xia is quite interested in the origin of our master," and then said in an accentuated tone: "Especially Gu Song." ”

Gu Xinjian sat on Gu Xinsheng, faced Xia Yuying, and said with a smile: "If you want to know, just ask me." In my second uncle's mansion, there are eighteen masters of the so-called 'three hearts, two spirits, five heroes and eight evils', needless to say, the three hearts are their two brothers and their grandfather Tianxin old man; the two spirits refer to my second uncle Gu Lingfeng and my second sister-in-law Xu Lingyun; the five heroes include my second uncle's two scholarly male souls and heroes, as well as the single male of the tent man, the second sister-in-law's dowry maid Jingxiong, and the second brother Gu Zhengxiong bought in the slave market; the eight evils originally had nothing to do with our family......

Gu Xinsheng interjected with a grin: "They have a relationship with our family because of me." ”

Gu Xinjian glared at him and continued: "The eight of them were originally famous figures in the martial arts, but due to various reasons, they got into trouble that could not be solved. On the one hand, they are grateful for the sincerity of the seventh brother, and on the other hand, they are also willing to change their names and surnames in order to have the ancient mansion of Qianyang as a backer, so they are willing to change their names and surnames and join the second uncle's mansion as slaves, so there will be masters like Honka under the seventh brother. ”

Xia Yuying smiled: "It turns out that he is also a troublemaker. ”

Gu Xinsheng laughed and said: "Okay, the word 'also' is said well. ”

Xia Yuying's face flushed, and she changed the topic and said, "Is this ship safe?"

Gu Xinsheng said: "Be quiet, don't let the people of the Changhe Gang hear it, otherwise they will think that it will be bad for them to be raised by you." ”

Xia Yuying's mouth pouted: "Hmph, what can they do to me?"

Gu Xinsheng said solemnly: "Don't think that you are very capable, in Shenzhou, if you offend the emperor, there is a place for you in the world; ”

Xia Yuyingqi said: "We were talking about the Changhe Gang just now, why did you get involved with the Baili Family?"

Gu Xinsheng said: "Because the leader of the Changhe Gang is a member of the Baili family, their interests are the same. Hmph, without the support of the Baili family, even if Baili Changhe is capable, it is impossible to become the third largest water gang in the world in just fifteen years. ”

Gu Xinjian said: "I heard my grandfather say that the Baili family is now the first family in Shenzhou, isn't it?"

Gu Xinsheng said: " It cannot be said that the family is a family-based force, and some families rely on the power of the imperial court to exist, although this kind of family can be prosperous for a while, but with the change of political power or even the change of those in power, it will eventually wither; although some families do not rely so much on external forces, but rely on blood relations to establish alliances, the foundation is very not solid, especially after a long period of establishment, most of the children of the same clan can not maintain the brotherly affection of the founding ancestors, and in the face of huge interests, it is easy to produce internal power struggles; there is also too much reliance on blood ties, not allowing talents outside the family to enter their own interior, once they meet a generation of children of the same clan will not fight, which will lead to the rapid decline of the family. Therefore, the temporary prosperity cannot be used as a criterion for evaluating the grade of the family. However, from the current point of view, the peak of talents and the strength of the Baili family are still above the four major families in China. ”

Gu Xinjian frowned and said, "Even the merchants can't compare to them?"

Gu Xinsheng said: "The four major families of Shenzhou have always been a little reluctant to show the taste of mountain dew, and show their full strength from the beginning, especially the merchants, if it weren't for the fact that there would be one or two characters in each generation who appeared on the rivers and lakes, they would definitely be forgotten that there is such a family." I even suspect that they sent people to walk around in the open in order to maintain the status of the four great families of Shenzhou, otherwise they would definitely all hide and make a lot of money. ”

Xia Yuying said: "So the Changhe Gang is a puppet manipulated by the Baili family??"

Gu Xinsheng said: "It's not like this, Baili Changhe himself is an outstanding talent of the Baili family, at the age of twenty, he created his own Changhe righteousness, and at the age of twenty-three, he established the Changhe Gang, with his own brother Baili Yangtze River, Baili Changtao, and fought the world alone, although there is a place to use the Baili family, but the foundation of the Changhe Gang was personally beaten by him with his fists, and he will definitely not be willing to be a response worm." The Baili family and the Changhe Gang should be in a relationship of mutual use, and the Baili family and the Changhe Gang are both borrowing each other to strengthen their own momentum. ”

Gu Xinjian said: "Who is that Qu Fubo?"

Gu Xinsheng said: "Qu Fubo is known as the Yaksha of the River, his swimming fish and three thorns are the stunts of the famous Yangtze River, and the underwater kung fu is especially good, and the martial arts on land are by no means below you and me." ”

Suddenly, the hull of the ship shook, and Xia Yuying shouted to Gu Xinsheng: "Didn't you say that it was safe to take this boat?"

Gu Xinsheng knew that something was wrong, and he had no time to pay attention to Xia Yuying, so he jumped up from the top and rushed to the deck, only to see Qu Fubo holding the broken sail rope with one hand, and commanding the steering to help the people steer with a solemn expression, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Qu Fubo waited for the hull of the ship to be adjusted, sighed, and said, "I ran into an evil Jiao just now who was making waves and almost capsized the boat, but now it's fine." Then he called on his men to attach the sail rope.

At this time, everyone in the cabin also arrived, and Xia Yuying said: "It turns out that it is so dangerous to take a boat. ”

Qu Fubo walked over and said with a smile: "Changhe is located in Shenzhou, there are very few water monsters, that evil Jiao doesn't know where it came from, it has only started to be active in the Qingao Gorge in the past three years, and it usually haunts at night, rarely comes out during the day, this time I don't know what to go crazy about, and it suddenly came so in broad daylight, which made Miss frightened." But rest assured, after the Qingao Gorge, there will be no more such things. ”

Mu Yuelian exclaimed: "Oh no, the sudden change of habits of the evil Jiao is a harbinger of successful cultivation and going to the sea." ”

Xia Yuying said: "Okay, it's gone, and there won't be any more danger like just now." ”

Qu Fubo's face turned pale: "Miss, you don't know, if the dragon enters the sea, it will definitely cause a flood and escape into the ocean with the help of the water potential." This place is the upper reaches of the long river, and once the evil Jiao is in trouble, I don't know how many people will be drowned. ”

Gu Lingyan said: "Can the master of the rudder stop the ship temporarily." ”

Qu Fubo said: "There is no wharf in Qingao Gorge, and the building ship we are taking cannot dock casually, otherwise once it runs aground, there will be no way." ”

Gu Lingyan said again: "Is there a way for the Lord of the Curved Rudder to lure the evil Jiao to the side of the ship?"

Qu Fubo was shocked and said: "Do you want to kill Jiao? Don't be stupid, that evil Jiao is invulnerable, invulnerable to fire and water, and extremely powerful, and can launch a flood, how can manpower resist? And once the evil Jiao is close to the ship, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, there is a risk that the ship will be destroyed and people will die, no!"

Yi Fenghan and Gu Mengya glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Let's go and attract the evil Jiao!"

Yan Jiutian continued: "I'll go too." ”

Qu Fubo hurriedly stopped: "Danger! Don't go into the water! It's better like this, anyway, the evil Jiao won't suddenly attack, let's ignore it for now, wait for me to help the master, and ask him to try to get rid of this evil animal." ”

Gu Xinzheng said: "Is the master of the rudder scared? In this way, I know that you have a boat for escape on this ship, borrow it from us, you take the boat first, if we kill the evil Jiao, you will come back to answer, otherwise just go and explain the situation to my father, and my father will give you the money." ”

Qu Fubo said angrily: "Since I promised to take you to Qianyang, I will never let you take risks!" said and hesitated: "Okay, I'll bring it here." Come on, prepare the ballista, and bring a few more live pigs!"

Gu Xinsheng smiled: "It's really yours, there are still live pigs on the ship." ”

Qu Fubo glared at him: "I'm not an expeditionary force, I'm not afraid of running out of supplies along the way, so I can naturally prepare fresh food." ”

After a while, the Changhe Gang launched ten ballistas and brought five fat pigs. Qu Fubo arranged for his men to push two live pigs into the water, then hook one pig with an iron anchor and throw it into the river, and then ordered someone to aim all ten ballistae near the iron anchor landing point. After the arrangements were ready, Qu Fubo said, "Do you have any weapons such as treasure knives?"

Yi Feng said coldly: "My knife is as iron as clay, do you want it?"

Qu Fubo pulled out two water-splitting armor thorns from his waist, stared at the river and said, "I don't want to, if I tell you to cut it later, you have to cut off the iron anchor immediately, I'm afraid that the beast will drag the boat over." ”

Gu Xinzheng looked at the ballista of the Changhe Gang, and saw that there was a giant arrow on each of the giant crossbows about three zhang wide, and the arrow part was wrapped in fire. ”

Qu Fubo suddenly shouted in a low voice: "It's here." "I saw a ripple on the surface of the river, and suddenly it had become a whirlpool, and everyone clearly saw a huge black shadow swimming from the bottom of the water, and suddenly swooped down on the iron anchor landing point, and immediately the wind and waves rose in all directions, and the water column soared into the sky. Qu Fubo shouted: "Release!"

With a loud bang, ten giant arrows hit the black shadow at the same time, and the aftermath of the explosion of the arrow fire yao blew up a big hole in the ship. Qu Fubo directed the people to repair the hull of the ship and drain the river water that poured into the cabin, while staring at the water and preparing for action. Gu Lingyan stood at the bow of the ship, no matter how the hull swayed, he always remained standstill. Yi Fenghan clenched the jasper treasure knife with both hands, thinking about the old story of killing the crocodile spider back then, and he didn't dare to relax at all. Gu Mengya and the others had the same thoughts as him, and they all felt that the evil Jiao would not be so easy to eradicate, and stared at the huge whirlpool formed by the explosion with all their attention.

Suddenly, the hull of the ship shook violently, and the boat was speeding on the river like an arrow, and Qu Fubo shouted: "Be careful, everyone! The evil Jiao is not dead, and is dragging our boat to escape!"

Xia Yuying rushed forward, raised her hand, and three fusiform red lights hit the black shadow in front of the building boat, hitting the target, sending out a series of roars, the black shadow jumped suddenly, and jumped out of the water, everyone saw a crocodile head dragon body, about 30 zhang long, covered in blood, and a monster with an iron anchor hooked in its mouth jumped out of the water, and immediately fell, sinking towards the center of the river, and the building boat immediately tilted up.

Qu Fubo hurriedly shouted: "Chop!"

Yi Fenghan cut off the iron chain connected to the iron anchor and the hull with a knife, and the boat immediately rebounded, as if it had encountered a storm, swaying on the surface of the river, and the people from Shuzhou had never experienced such a bump, and they couldn't help but be dizzy. Qu Fubo hurriedly commanded the people to stabilize the hull of the ship, and there was no time to take care of the evil Jiao that sank to the bottom of the river.

Gu Lingyan's eyes flashed, and he jumped out of the boat, volleyed out the axe, and a thunderbolt pierced the sky, slashing towards the long river with a deafening roar. The long river was immediately split into a chasm that went straight to the center of the river, like the axe qi that thundered from the sky and swooped into the back of the evil Jiao at the bottom of the river, and suddenly the scales and armor flew and blood splashed everywhere. The evil Jiao raised its head in anger, jumped with all its might, surfaced, let out a low roar in its throat, and spewed out a crystal clear, large round blue light like a fence bucket, smashing the iron anchor in its mouth, and then shooting towards the ancient spirit rock hanging in the air.

Gu Lingyan shouted: "It's a good time!" The sharp axe in his hand turned into a white practice, and wrapped around the circular blue light, causing it to swim away with the axe and not be able to break free. Seeing this, the evil Jiao roared endlessly, and couldn't help opening his mouth to inhale the circular blue light, the round blue light was suddenly bright, and he almost wanted to fly back, Gu Lingyan sneered, the latent true qi, and the suction on the axe was also enhanced, although the round blue light kept struggling, it still couldn't get rid of Gu Lingyan's control.

The evil Jiao worked hard for a long time, but when he saw that there was no effect, he let out a long cry of sorrow, and suddenly jumped out of the water and rushed towards the ancient spirit rock hanging in the air.

Gu Lingyan saw the evil Jiao flying, his heart was secretly happy, taking advantage of the distraction of his energy, the sharp axe turned into a white practice, his left hand probed, and then stretched into the round blue light, as soon as the evil Jiao Danfu touched the iron hand of Gu Lingyan, the essence immediately appeared, but it was a cyan orb as big as a chicken egg, Gu Lingyan turned his hand over, and caught it in his hand.

Neidan, who had lost Zhen's life, was furious, and suddenly accelerated, pounced on Gu Lingyan. Gu Lingyan smiled slightly, turned his body to the side, let go of the evil Jiao's poisonous claws, and then swept back the axe like lightning, and suddenly cut the evil Jiao into two pieces. In the wailing sound of the evil Jiao, the two remnants of the body were like meteorites, and they had not yet fallen to the surface of the river, the evil Jiao hissed wildly, and the Jiao's head suddenly exploded, and a black gas shaped like an evil Jiao, only a foot long, rose to the sky, and wanted to fly away in the air.

Gu Lingyan's body was slowly descending at this time, seeing this, he withdrew to lift his breath, his body moved in the air, caught up with the Jiao-shaped black qi, raised his right arm, and rotated the sharp axe in his hand around his wrist, and suddenly slashed at the Jiao-shaped black gas, and the Jiao-shaped black gas chirped and screamed, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating.

Gu Lingyan split the evil Jiao Yuan Shen, and his true qi was exhausted, and he could no longer perform the light skill of stepping into the void, and his body fell straight into the long river. At this time, Qu Fubo was thinking about stabilizing the boat, and watched Gu Lingyan fall to the water, but he couldn't move the boat over to meet him, so he had to prepare to jump into the long river to save people. Yi Fenghan suddenly rushed to the edge of the boat, and the chain gun in his sleeve shot out, wrapping around Gu Lingyan's right foot, and dragged him back to the boat.

At noon, Qu Fubo and the Changhe gang stabilized the boat. Qu Fubo immediately sent someone to take the spare boat on the building boat first, and then arranged for people to salvage the remnants of the evil Jiao.

Everything was arranged, Qu Fubo said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard, please follow me to the restaurant to eat." ”

Everyone followed Qu Fubo to the restaurant and sat down, and when the wine and food were served, Qu Fubo said: "The cooking time is delayed, so I have to settle for a while, these are the special braised dishes made by the chef of this ship, Zhen Fatzi, the taste is not bad, don't dislike it." Then he got up and raised his glass and said: "Brother Gu is heroic and powerful, and he can get rid of Jiao alone, which is really an eye-opener." I will toast you to the people who are protected from flooding on both sides of the river. ”

Gu Lingyan raised his wine glass and said suddenly: "Don't dare, it's just a good time to meet and succeed." ”

Qu Fubo laughed and said: "Brother Gu is too humble, not to mention the rest, just with your light skill of walking in the air, I have only seen a person in my life who can hold on to the air for so long." ”

Gu Xinsheng blurted out: "Baili Gang Master?"

Qu Fubo shook his head and said, "Louling Flying Immortal is a hundred miles in the sky. Although the leader of this gang has high skills, he is not good at light skills. ”

Gu Lingyan sighed: "There are countless capable people in the world, and there are many masters who have never seen the master of the rudder. ”

Qu Fubo smiled: "Really?"

Gu Lingyan saw that he didn't believe it, and he didn't say much, everyone was not interested in chatting, and they went back to their rooms after eating in three or two. Gu Lingyan walked up to Gu Xinzheng, Gu Xinjian, and Gu Xinsheng, and said softly, "You three come with me." ”

Coming to the Gu Lingyan room, Gu Xinsheng couldn't wait to ask, "Seventh Uncle, what's the matter with us in such a hurry?"

Gu Lingyan sat down: "Do you know why I came to Shenzhou?"

Gu Xinsheng said without thinking: "Uncle Seven, you have always liked to travel around the world, you should be tired of staying in other places." ”

Gu Xinzheng showed a thoughtful expression: "The demon who destroyed the flower path last night seemed to know Uncle Seven, is it related to this?" ”

Gu Xinjian finally said: "The matter of Shuzhou, the seventh uncle has already heard about it?"

Gu Lingyan slapped Gu Xinsheng on the door of the head: "Stupid, can you say such nonsense?" and then smiled at Gu Xinzheng and Gu Xinjian: "You two are good, one is half right." As he spoke, he stood up and turned his back to the three Gu brothers: "The demons who destroyed the flower path were in Weizhou three years ago, and I found out, so I asked two friends to go and exterminate them, and they killed a total of twenty-eight of them, and only escaped Fa Qingzi and his two major disciples Zhang Gongzuo and Cui Gongyou, and the Shi Chengrui and his nine apprentices you killed this time were not there at the time, so they were spared." At that time, I chased all the way for three days and three nights, but they still escaped. Recently, I heard that there was a turmoil in Shuzhou, and I was worried that something was going on at home, so I went to my second brother to inquire about the news, and I really heard bad news. He paused for a moment: "I am not as open as my second brother and brother-in-law, and I am worried that your brother will encounter danger on the way back, so I came to answer him." As soon as I arrived in Dancheng, I saw that you were acting sneaky, so I didn't show up, and quietly followed you, and when I saw that you were enough to deal with that group of demons, I was happy to let you hone and hone, and finally saw that the lovers were about to escape, so they intercepted and killed. ”

Gu Xinzheng said: "My nephew is stupid, let the seventh uncle worry about it." ”

Gu Lingyan turned to stare at Gu Xinzheng and the others, and said solemnly: "I watched your shots, in fact, your martial arts are not bad, and I can see that you are not lazy in your daily life." However, Xiao Zheng, your personality is too calm, although your internal strength is good, and you have caught up with the achievements of your second brother, but the defensive position accounts for seventy percent of the moves. And you, Xiao Jian, lack internal strength, your moves are fierce but not rigid, floating but not real, and you still need to strengthen your cultivation. Xiaosheng, although you have to have the true inheritance of the two families of Benmen and your grandfather, but your skills are still shallow, and you have not been able to integrate the strengths of the two families, and you have a style of your own, but you are suspected of being greedy and chewing too much. ”

Seeing Gu Xinzheng and the three of them bowing their heads in shame, Gu Lingyan immediately smiled and said: "You don't have to be discouraged, Xiao Zheng, you should pay attention to it in the future, from simply cultivating internal strength to the cultivation of the mental law level, in less than three years, there should be another face; But I am not calling you here today to reprimand you. As he spoke, he took out the Evil Jiao Nei Dan: "This Jiao Pill is the treasure that cultivators dream of, and it is very helpful for cultivation, but if it is divided into three parts, the effect will be greatly reduced, so I decided to give it to only one of you." Let's talk about it and see who takes it. ”

Gu Xinzheng said: "The fourth brother has a deep hatred of blood, give it to him." ”

Gu Xinsheng also said: "Yes, the fourth brother needs it more than us." ”

Gu Xinjian said: "The seventh brother is the youngest and has the shallowest internal strength, give it to him." ”

Gu Xinsheng feigned anger and said: "Nonsense, we are better than the internal force!" said and wanted to make a move.

Gu Lingyan laughed and stopped: "Okay, it is worthy of being the son of our Gu family." Actually, I already have a candidate, but I just want to see how you react when you are relieving the current situation. Xiao Zheng, swallow this Jiaodan, then sit on it, and I will help you guide your qi back to the source. Xiao Jian, Xiao Sheng, you help me protect the Fa, and no one is allowed to harass us until we finish our work. ”

Gu Xinzheng said anxiously: "Seventh uncle, I don't need it very much, let's leave it to the fourth brother." ”

Gu Xinjian said solemnly: "Second brother, if you don't want it, give it to the seventh brother." Otherwise, please ask Uncle Seven to use it for himself or give it to others. The work of greed for heaven is not done by my generation. ”

Gu Lingyan glanced at Gu Xinjian approvingly, and said, "Xiao Zheng, you don't have to excuse yourself. Although Jiaodan can enhance internal strength, it is not necessarily a good thing. You were born in a martial arts family, and ninety percent of the stories you have heard since you were a child are anecdotes in the martial arts, elixirs and miraculous techniques that can enhance cultivation in a short period of time, and you have heard a lot of them, but you can tell me that throughout the ages, how many of the super masters who can look down on the world are achieved by these things?"

Gu Xinzheng and the others meditated for a moment. They shook their heads.

Gu Lingyan then said categorically: "Not a single one. Because cultivation is a very arduous and long journey, on this path, only you can rely on, a good teacher and a good friend, the greatest help to the practitioner is only to point out a direction, everyone chooses a different path, and every step forward is based on the first step before you. Increasing your cultivation in a short period of time will ostensibly help you take a big step forward on the path of cultivation, but you have skipped a dangerous path full of thorns, and when you encounter difficulties in your future cultivation, you will be even more dangerous because you have no previous experience, and you will almost inevitably suffer from the situation of going mad. Therefore, those who have had adventures in the past often regret it in their later practice. Some people choose to give up and move forward, and they die in the field of ordinary masters with their extraordinary talents; some people choose to solve the military problem and start over again after reincarnation, but the risk of this is extremely great, and the art of military liberation is a secret method of the Xuanmen, which is not known to everyone; only a few people choose to continue to move forward, hoping to get lucky with perseverance and endowment that is different from ordinary people, but so far, no one has succeeded. In your generation, Xiao Jian, Xiao Sheng, and Xiao Yi have the highest talents, and I hope that they can have their own world in martial arts and be promoted to the ranks of super masters. Xiao Zheng, you have passed the stage of rapid growth, and the family's business has spent most of your energy, basically there is no possibility of becoming a super master, taking Jiaodan can benefit you a lot, but there is no trouble. ”

When Gu Xinzheng heard this, he happily thanked him, stretched out his hand to take the Jiaodan, and put it in his mouth. Jiaodan melted in his mouth, and immediately a cold current as cold as snow flowed down his throat, straight to his heart and lungs, knowing that the medicine was violent, he hurriedly took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the ancient spirit rock. Gu Lingyan also sat cross-legged behind Gu Xinzheng, and his palms were imprinted on Gu Xinzheng's Zhiyang and Lingtai two acupoints. Gu Xinjian and Gu Xinsheng were separated, and they were on guard.
