Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Iron Arm
Gu Shengchao couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion when he saw the words "Iron Arm Divine Skill", and he had mixed feelings.
You know, his family kung fu is this, when he was a child, he heard his father often mention it, but the housekeeper Zhao Yinhu mutilated his father and mother, and since then he has not had the opportunity to practice. He wondered how he could see him here again.
The wooden planks of the bookshelves have been weathered, and he does not dare to touch them, and the paper books cannot be touched, lest they be damaged and never restored to their original appearance.
He raised the fire fold and looked around, and found that this stone room originally had a door, and it was carefully sealed with bluestone strips. There is also a lot of words written on the wall, he carefully distinguished, the starting position was written "Iron Arm Gate" three big characters, and then densely packed names, and saw that there was a disciple surnamed Gu at the end, called Gu Bozhen.
Gu Shengchao remembered that his father once said that his ancestors were disciples of a certain sect, because the two sects clashed and fought a decisive battle, and after failure, they were hunted down, and they had no choice but to hide in the countryside to make a living.
He listened to it as a joke at the time, and now that he thinks about it, it should be true.
Gu Shengchao guessed that someone had built two stone chambers at that time, and stored important materials underneath in order to make a comeback, and the upper ones were empty, just to make the other party think that these were these, so as to protect the underneath. He thought that it was probably because the Iron Arm Gate was destroyed after the decisive battle, and the surviving disciples hid in Tibet, and the sect was abandoned and even unknown to anyone.
The world is impermanent, who would have thought that the descendants of a disciple would find this place, it can be regarded as a coincidence.
Since it was the former sect of his ancestors, Gu Shengchao knelt down respectfully and kowtowed a few times to the stone wall with the names of the disciples of the Iron Arm Sect written on it.
He got up and walked to the bookshelf, carefully picked up the "Iron Arm Miracle", and the bookshelf collapsed in an instant when it was touched, and turned into dust along with the books. Only this cheatbook survived because it was a sheepskin.
Gu Shengchao picked up the cheats, jumped on the spirit stone and said to Liu Ximei: "Come down, detoxification on the spirit stone should be able to be done in one go." ”
Liu Ximei has been learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and it is really clumsy to climb high and low, she doesn't dare to move anymore when her legs are stretched out, and the strength of her arms is not enough to go up, and she will only shout helplessly when she is trapped in the hole: "No, I'm going to fall." ”
In fact, the entrance of the cave is very close to the upper part of the neatly stacked spirit stone, and Liu Ximei can reach it a little further down her toes, and she can't see the situation under her feet and panic, so she is naturally afraid.
Gu Shengchao had been waiting below for a long time, and when he saw her cowering, he hurriedly hugged her legs and encouraged: "If you let go of the top, you will come down." ”
Someone below held her, Liu Ximei was relieved to let go boldly, and smoothly slid down the hole.
The two of them sat down on the spirit stone and worked hard, and the abundant aura stimulated the surging vitality in everyone's heart, and in an instant, they forgot about the fatigue and all the unsatisfactory, and concentrated on letting the aura enter the meridians and gather in the dantian. The two couldn't help but blend together, and the pure true qi washed over every corner of Liu Ximei's meridians, so that those dirt had nowhere to hide and was discharged from the body through the ancient saint chao.
Gu Shengchao seemed to be sweating profusely and working very hard, but with the help of these spirit stones, he actually didn't have much effort. After confirming that Liu Ximei's toxins were all removed, Gu Shengchao began to focus on letting his pure true qi enter her dantian little by little, so that her internal strength increased rapidly.
Practicing qi, building a foundation, and being a primordial god, Liu Ximei never thought that she would be so powerful one day. When she reached the middle level of the Yuan Shen, suddenly, there was a swelling pain in her abdomen, and the strong discomfort spread all over her body, and cold sweat flowed down her cheeks.
Gu Shengchao also noticed her uncomfortable appearance, and immediately stopped cultivating, hugged her and said, "What's wrong, what's uncomfortable?" ”
"It's nothing, it should be the instinctive reaction of the body that suddenly absorbed too much true qi." Liu Ximei found that her cultivation had stopped, and the inexplicable pain had disappeared.
Gu Shengchao thought about it, he had absorbed the pure qi of the spirit fetus in Mengyou Mountain Villa, causing his whole body to be paralyzed and almost dying. He didn't dare to forcibly input true qi into Liu Ximei, and he collected all the spiritual qi of the spirit stone into his body, and then he and Liu Ximei walked out of the stone room.
Outside the stone room was a cliff, Gu Shengchao first drilled out and stood firm and waited, Liu Ximei then climbed out upside down, Gu Shengchao picked her up and walked on the cliff like flying, and jumped to the top of the peak smoothly.
At this moment, the sky is high and the clouds are wide, and the scenery is pleasant as far as the eye can see.
Liu Ximei pointed to the peaks in the distance and said in surprise: "It's so beautiful, it turns out that the paintings are all true, son, look there." Gu Shengchao looked into the distance in the direction of her finger, and did not find the difference, Liu Ximei saw his confusion, and explained: "Look at the clouds and smoke and the peaks over there, the heights are staggered, the shades are different, and the mountains are stacked and green, no matter how good the painter is, he can't depict such a beautiful scenery." She watched it with relish, Gu Shengchao only knew that it was really good-looking, but she couldn't identify where the beauty was.
The two walked down the mountain hand in hand, and when they arrived in the town, Liu Ximei put on a mask, and went to the clothing store to buy a new robe for Gu Shengchao. Liu Ximei's dress was also dirty, so she simply replaced it with a new one.
Along the way, Liu Ximei was refreshed and did not feel tired at all, she was naturally satisfied, and returned to the inn room happy like a child.
After dinner, Gu Shengchao sat under the lamp and carefully flipped through the "Iron Arm Divine Skill", pondering and practicing the above kung fu while watching.
Liu Ximei took off her mask when she returned to the guest room, and accompanied him to boil water and make tea.
Whenever there was something incomprehensible in the book, Gu Shengchao didn't know what it meant, so he stood up and walked back and forth in the room to think, or just drink a few sips of tea to refresh himself. He also noticed Liu Ximei's eyes that wanted to speak and stopped, so he asked, "Does Miss Liu have anything to say?" ”
Liu Ximei smiled: "Although I don't know martial arts, but I also have some contact with poetry and songs, watching Gongzi meditate hard, I think I can also help a little?" ”
A word woke up the dreamer, Gu Shengchao was annoyed, and held the book for Liu Ximei to read: "How did I forget this, I just need your help." Look at the sentence 'go up, think up', which one goes to which one? ”
Liu Ximei combined the context and thought slightly: "The first one is the meaning of going or going, the second is the direction of the acupuncture point, referring to the next acupuncture point mentioned above, and the third is the good meaning, which means that it is right to do so." I'm just a shallow learner, so I'll see if that's the case. ”
Gu Shengchao followed Liu Ximei's explanation, and said in surprise: "That's really the case, Miss Liu is amazing." ”
Next, he simply handed the book to Liu Ximei to read from the beginning, and told him while reading it, for fear that there would be a mistake in the original understanding. It wasn't until the third watch in the middle of the night that the two of them finished reading the secret book of "Iron Arm Divine Skill".
Liu Ximei made the bed and said with concern: "Son, in order to heal me, it is really hard, so let's rest early!" ”
Gu Shengchao shook his head and said, "I'm not tired, if Miss Liu is tired, she should rest early." This book records that martial arts are my family kung fu, and I have to master it even if it is an all-nighter. ”
Liu Ximei wondered: "I saw that this secret book was obtained from the stone room, how did it become a family heirloom, is there another secret in it?" ”
Gu Shengchao did not hide it, and told Liu Ximei all the twists and turns, he said: "I was in the rivers and lakes when I was a child, and I learned a lot and was not proficient in kung fu. This 'Iron Arm Divine Skill' and my original miscellaneous studies can be taught to the girl, and it is inevitable that there will be some disputes when walking the rivers and lakes in the future, and there should be no problem in self-preservation. ”
Of course, Liu Ximei was happy, and said excitedly: "That's good, I'm not sleepy anyway, so I'll accompany my son to practice together." ”
The two of them practiced their own tricks, and it wasn't until the rooster sang that Gu Shengchao got through all the cheats. When he opened his eyes, Liu Ximei was already lying on his side on the ground and asleep. He went over to pick her up and put her on the bed, and was about to get up, Liu Ximei hugged him and said softly in his ear: "Childe will sleep with me on the bed in the future, I know that Childe is a good person, and I can't ask for it." ”
Gu Shengchao agreed with a little hesitation, and the two of them were not so angry when they had skin to skin, and they naturally hugged each other and fell asleep.
When they woke up, it was already noon, and the two of them finished washing up before they went on the road slowly. Stopping and stopping along the way, most of the time was spent on cultivation, Liu Ximei had the help of Gu Shengchao, and his internal strength had also reached the early stage of the Nirvana Realm. Both of them have basically mastered "Iron Arm Divine Skills", Liu Ximei is a beginner, not too skilled, Gu Shengchao has a solid foundation, and the progress is relatively rapid, far more skilled than Liu Ximei. Gu Shengchao found that the Iron Arm Divine Skill and the Nine Heavens Blue Palm could be perfectly combined, and the power was greatly increased.
The only drawback of the Iron Arm Divine Skill is that everyone has an acupuncture point that cannot be protected no matter how much they practice, and it has become a fatal life. Gu Shengchao was more or less influenced by family traditions, his life gate was still Tianshu Acupoint, and Liu Ximei was Qi Sea Acupoint.
Liu Ximei flipped through the "Iron Arm Divine Skill" in her spare time, and Gu Shengchao saw that she liked it, so he gave her the book for safekeeping.
Looking at the map, the two of them are getting closer and closer to the location marked by Uncle Xu of the Worry-free Dart Bureau, but they are both preoccupied, hoping that this road will be farther away, and they will never reach better. There are still about two days to go, and it has already been three poles a day, and the two people in the inn share the same bed and no one wants to get up.
Liu Ximei curled up in Gu Shengchao's arms like a docile kitten, and said shyly: "It's coming, what are the plans of the son?" ”
Gu Shengchao stroked her long black hair, took out half of the talisman that Uncle Xu gave him, and said: "I am also reluctant, but Uncle Xu's life and death are unpredictable, I am afraid that this is his deathbed entrustment, and I can't bear it." ”
Liu Ximei looked up at Gu Shengchao, and there was a lot of charm in her eyes: "I have long been interested in Childe, can't Childe see it and bear to abandon me?" ”
Gu Shengchao was speechless, and he said truthfully: "Miss Liu is admired by everyone, I am just an insignificant straw man, and it is really a blessing for the girl to be appreciated, and I am very afraid." The girl is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I am a rough person, humble as a mayfly in the twilight of life and death, I always feel unworthy of the girl, every time I think of it, I can't help but feel inferior, and I dare not think about it. ”
Liu Ximei sighed and said: "Others see me as unattainable, but in fact, in Miaochun Pavilion, I am not soft-spoken, trembling every day like walking on thin ice, lest I be dragged out and thrown away like a dead dog." Which of those high-ranking officials and giants treats me as a human being, and no matter how much grievance I endure, I have to greet me with a smile, and I live a life that is not as good as a pig and a dog every day. ”
She burst into tears as she spoke, "Since I met Childe and taught me martial arts, I have never felt more relaxed and comfortable these days." Seeing that I was about to enter the wolf's den again after coming out of the tiger's mouth, I was unwilling, so I could only rely on my son to achieve it. ”
