Gu Shengchao seemed to fall into an endless void, unconscious, unable to see or hear anything, floating with the wind. His body began to become crystal clear, emitting a faint fluorescence.

"Owner, owner, here." People in the distance noticed the anomaly here, and more than a dozen people flocked around with their mouths chattering and chattering.

The owner of the village, Meng Peilong, walked over from the crowd in a green robe and a gray robe, he stared at Gu Shengchao and asked, "This person looks at Miansheng, isn't it from our Mengyou Mountain Villa?" ”

Master Mengsong replied: "Master of the village, this person is not from our villa. He asked the others around him, "Who do you know this person?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, saying that they had not seen it.

Meng Peilong said angrily: "I accidentally learned the secret here a few years ago, and I scattered all my family wealth to create Mengyou Mountain Villa in this valley, just to obtain a once-in-a-century spirit fetus, absorb the purest qi in it, and achieve hegemony. In order to keep this mystery, I didn't even tell my own family, but only informed a few of you a few days ago. Who would have expected that this nobody would be the first to take the lead, is this the will of God? I don't believe it, take my life! ”

He hysterically raised his sword and slashed straight at Gu Shengchao.

Gu Shengchao was wrapped in a faint fluorescence, and the blade of Mengpeilong's sword slashed at the fluorescence, and with a "bell", the sword rebounded and almost smashed on his own shoulder. Gu Shengchao was unscathed, still in a state of drowsy.

"What's the situation?" Meng Peilong was unwilling, but he didn't dare to make the sword cut again.

Meng Song took a step forward and said: "Zhuang Master, you also said just now, this spirit fetus is really a pure and pure qi illusion, I estimate that once it enters the human body, it will be taken into its own use, and it should not have been fully integrated into the body now." ”

Meng Liyan, the owner of the young village, led everyone around and ordered: "Keep an eye on it, I don't believe he can fly away." ”

Everyone was nervous, and each with his sword was waiting beside Gu Shengchao. After a while, the fluorescence on Gu Shengchao's body gradually dimmed, and with a "poof", he fell from mid-air and fell into the grass.

Gu Shengchao also woke up from the fog, and he first felt as if the meridians in his whole body were broken, and the sharp pain was one after another, and he convulsed like spasms. When he opened his eyes and saw the people around him, he was startled and wanted to get up and run away, but his arms and legs did not obey him, and he struggled but could not move. When he wanted to speak, he opened his mouth and squeaked a few words, and even he didn't know what he was talking about.

Meng Peilong stepped forward and said disdainfully: "It's really unlucky, I'm afraid it's a dumb person!" He hesitated for a moment, and stabbed his sword at Gu Shengchao's shoulder, the tip of the sword easily pierced into it, and blood gushed out and stained his shoulder red. Meng Peilong took out his sword, wiped the blood stains on the blade of Gu Shengchao's body, and said angrily: "It's a big deal for me, I won't let you die a good death." All of you have collected your blades and beaten him to death. ”

Several onlookers immediately collected their blades, punched and kicked Gu Shengchao's body like raindrops.

Gu Shengchao could see and hear, but he couldn't move, and the severe pain in the meridians of his body was like a broken liver and intestines, and everyone was not aware of it at all. It wasn't until those people hit his fists that the sharp pain in his body slowly dissipated, and he finally felt the pain of those people hitting his body, but he was also dying, and his breath was like a gossamer.

Seeing Gu Shengchao being beaten to death like this, Master Mengsong suddenly remembered something, and stepped forward to say: "Owner, the villain has a sentence that I don't know if to say or not?" ”

"Say it!" Meng Peilong didn't have a good airway.

Meng Song said carefully: "Our Mengyou Mountain Villa has raised many fierce beasts, and we carefully raise them every day just so that these livestock can practice Neidan for the owner of the village to practice. However, over the years, most of them have failed, and occasionally those who have practiced Neidan are also insignificant and ineffective. Right now, this person has absorbed the essence of the spirit fetus, if it is used as a livestock to raise and refine the inner pill, I don't know if it is useful? ”

Meng Peilong slapped his thigh regretfully, and hurriedly stopped: "Stop, don't fight, stop for me." ”

And all the people were tired, and immediately stopped to rest.

Meng Peilong stepped forward and tried Gu Shengchao's snort, and saw that although he was unconscious, his breathing was still there, but it was extremely weak. He ordered: "You few immediately carry him back to the mountain villa to heal his wounds, and if he dies halfway, I will ask a few of you!" ”

Several people looked at each other, and they didn't know why, obviously they had just let him fight to death, but why did he change his hexagram again.

Meng Peilong was anxious, and kicked the ass who was still stunned: "Don't go quickly, if he dies, I will bury you with you." ”

Hearing this, the man hurriedly picked up Gu Shengchao and ran wildly in the direction of the villa, and the rest of the people ran back.

Back at Mengyou Villa, Meng Peilong personally healed Gu Shengchao's wounds, and applied hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs to the wound. He couldn't sleep at night and came to visit several times, and saw that Gu Shengchao's breathing gradually stabilized, and only after the sky was dawn did he go back to rest with confidence.

Gu Shengchao was in a coma for another day and a night, and then he slowly regained consciousness, and the sharp pain of the wounds all over his body made him moan a few times involuntarily.

"He's awake, he's awake, go and tell the owner." The family waiting next to him was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to fly to Meng Peilong to report immediately.

After a while, Meng Peilong strode over, he checked it, and advised: "You guys carry him to the dungeon, remember to change the dressing on time every day, he has absorbed the essence of the spirit fetus, just in case he still puts on the chains, and report to me in time if there is a problem." ”

Gu Shengchao felt someone lift him, he opened his eyes to look, but his eyes were swollen and he couldn't see anything. As his body moved, the wounds on his body were torn in more pain, and he couldn't help but moan again. After a while, he was finally placed on a cold bed with chains around his wrists and ankles. After someone had dressed his wounds, someone helped him up, fed him some porridge, and finally covered him with a bedding, and then the people left.

It was damp and cold, and the air was filled with the smell of blood, which was the only thing Gu Shengchao could perceive.

In the next few days, someone came on time every day to change the dressing and feed Gu Shengchao, and he was here to eat, drink, and Lazar, and he was miserable. What made him even more unbearable was the wound on his body, although the pain was unbearable, but he knew that these people had bad intentions, so he forcibly stopped moaning, gritted his teeth and carried it without making a sound. The arms and legs are their own, and the pain from the wounds above can be felt, but they keep calling and can't move.

That night, he was beaten all over his body, and even his eyelids were so swollen that he couldn't see anything, and when the swelling of his body subsided, Gu Shengchao could finally see his surroundings. It was a dungeon with only a small skylight, with candlesticks in the four corners of the walls that glowed dimly, and up a dozen steps there was a heavy iron door, which was the only way for people to enter and exit the dungeon. Animal skeletons were piled up in the corners, giving off a fishy smell. Gu Shengchao lay on a stone table, his wrists and ankles were wrapped in thick iron chains to prevent him from escaping.

After the wounds on Gu Shengchao's body gradually scabbed, someone carried away the stone table, and he ate and lived on the dirty ground every day. The meal has also changed from the original hearty chicken, duck and fish to monotonous, all of which are hard-to-swallow rice balls, mixed with a disgusting medicinal taste. He couldn't move, it was a guy with a meaty face who came to feed him, whether he ate it or not, he broke his mouth and stuffed it hard, if he spit it out, it would be a fist and kick, and he couldn't eat it.

No one cared about his feelings, they treated him like an animal, and as time went on, the rice balls were simply large balls of medicinal herbs mixed with some food, which was even more difficult to swallow. Under all kinds of torture, Gu Shengchao once thought of committing suicide and didn't want to live.

But when he had the strength to use his internal force to inspect his dantian, he made a surprising discovery. The originally fragmented dantian was miraculously repaired at some point, and the true qi that could not be seen at a glance was gathered, lingering, and tumbling inside like a cloud of white clouds. The five swords were suspended above the vast sea-like true qi, forming the "Five Soul Array", which was more and more vibrant in the Xuan Qi. In the middle was the saber he used for his daily practice, trembling and humming, as if he was about to break through the shackles and soar into the sky.

This gave him hope for life and the courage to live.

Gu Shengchao was slowly lucky, and where the meridians seemed to be blocked, he always had more than enough heart and insufficient strength, and in the end, he couldn't do it. He expected that the dantian could repair it by himself, it must have something to do with the crystal clear villain that night, but he couldn't guess the connection. He resented everything that was here, and cursed the people who wounded him and imprisoned him here.

How did he know that if those people hadn't beaten him half to death, he would have been a dead man a long time ago, and by mistake, he actually saved his life. That night, he absorbed all the pure true qi of the spirit fetus, and the true qi continued to gather in his dantian, with his current cultivation, he could not absorb all the true qi, and the final result was inevitably that the dantian burst and died. The addition of those people's fists and feet helped him dredge the meridians, and the true qi ran repeatedly in the meridians, inadvertently repairing the dantian, and the internal force increased greatly.

More than a month passed like this, and Gu Shengchao was like a wild man, his long hair was scattered, his thick beard was messy, his clothes were dirty and shabby, and the stench emitted by him was almost unbearable. He practiced every day, and he always fell short at the last moment, obviously feeling that he could open up the meridians of his body, but he was just a little bit worse, which made him miserable.

During this period, Meng Peilong and Meng Song came a few times, each time Meng Peilong was on Gu Shengchao's body, his palm was close to his skin and used internal force to probe back and forth, as if he was looking for something, and then he disliked him too dirty, so he ordered several family members to strip off his clothes, rinse it with cold water, and really leash it there naked like an animal.

The food is getting worse and worse, and the fist-sized rice balls have to eat more than a dozen a day, and the number is gradually increasing, basically all of them are mixed with various medicinal materials, and I want to vomit when I smell the smell, let alone swallow them all.

On this day, he was secretly practicing his exercises, and when he heard the iron door open, someone walked down, and he knew that it was the guy with a sideways face again.

"It's time to eat!" The guy stepped forward and broke Gu Shengchao's mouth and stuffed a large piece of rice ball. The strong smell of medicine penetrated into his nostrils, and Gu Shengchao couldn't help but sneeze out all the rice balls in his mouth.

"Look for death!" The one slapped Gu Shengchao, the dirt on Gu Shengchao's face stuck to his hands, he said "bad luck" and was ready to wipe it on Gu Shengchao's body, but he hated him for being too dirty, and saw that there was a hoe against the wall, picked up the hoe and smashed it down with a handle to cover his face and Gu Shengchao like raindrops.

The ancient saint couldn't move, he could only endure this inhuman torture and pain, anyway, he couldn't escape, he secretly lucked to alleviate the pain. Unconsciously, he forgot about the pain, and his true qi moved forward little by little in the meridians.

The guy with a sideways face saw that Gu Shengchao was unmoved, and his attack became more and more ruthless.

Gu Shengchao has experienced too many failures, and this time he didn't deliberately exert his strength, just to relieve the pain. Suddenly, the true qi broke through the last obstacle and returned to the dantian after a week in the meridians. True Qi seemed to be a tidal wave that erupted out of control, rushing and surging in the meridians of the whole body.

He had an incredible smile on his face and enjoyed the joy of this success.
