Chapter Fifty-Eight: Entering the Land of Silang
Now is the darkest hour before dawn, although the canyon is not wide, but it is bottomless, Gu Shengchao had to use the Nine Heavens Blue Palm, with a strong internal force to keep out the palm, bombarding the below. Fortunately, the canyon is not deep, just now I felt fear just now because I couldn't see the bottom, and Gu Shengchao landed without danger.
He looked up at the sky, and the sky above him instantly became clear. Gu Shengchao was overjoyed, and climbed up with his hands and feet.
The birds began to chirp in the dense forest, the ape cries came and went, and Gu Shengchao took a few steps forward before he sensed the heavy breath of the man with the broken right arm. He walked quietly and stood in front of the man.
The man had been running wildly all night, gasping for breath, he felt something strange in front of him, and when he looked up and saw Gu Shengchao as if he had seen a ghost, he let out an "ah" and shivered all over his body. The man got up to run, but turned around and slashed at Gu Shengchao.
Gu Shengchao was delighted, he had just mastered the Feng Wu Sword Technique, and was about to find someone to compete with and verify the results of his comprehension, so he held the sword in his left hand and stabbed straight over.
The man was stunned, he didn't want to fight hard, so he pulled a knife flower with a big knife in his hand, trying to twist the sword in Gu Shengchao's hand. The ancient saint's super long sword moved with the momentum, and easily cracked the threat of the big sword, and both of them held a blade in their left hand, fighting together with a sword and a sword.
Gu Shengchao was not in a hurry to win, and the two fought steadily step by step, and the two fought for more than 100 rounds, Gu Shengchao slowly figured out the routine of the opponent's knife technique, and gradually gained the upper hand. When the man saw that he could not win, he turned around and ran away.
There is nothing peculiar in that person's moves, the key is that his internal strength is strong, and if he is someone else, he has been running all the way until now, and he has long been unable to run, and he still has the strength to compete with the ancient saint, which is really not easy.
The Four Kings Valley Dusk King Shan Qun's martial arts are strong, and he can't recover from his poisonous palm, which also verifies this.
Gu Shengchao made up his mind and continued to consume it with him, until he was convinced, until he agreed to detoxify the single group. If you are a person with a strong personality, you are too powerful, and he will not be able to achieve the ultimate goal by pretending to be dead and being slaughtered.
The two ran from sunrise to noon, from noon to sunset, and from sunset to sunrise the next day.
Gu Shengchao sat next to the man and said sincerely, "What do you call a brother?" ”
The man was out of breath and gasped for breath, and after a while, he didn't have a good breath and said, "My name is Zhuang Lutao, a native of Xileng." ”
"The Xilang Guoren clan, why did you come to my Dawu Dynasty?" Gu Shengchao was surprised and puzzled.
Zhuang Lutao got up with difficulty, sat down to the side and said, "If you want to kill, don't talk so much nonsense." ”
Gu Shengchao clenched his fists and arched his hands: "My brother is a man, and there is no evil intention to get acquainted with him. ”
Zhuang Lutao snorted disdainfully: "No bad intentions? We just want to pick more herbs, and when you see us, we'll fight and kill, when we're three-year-olds! ”
At this moment, the red sun is rising, and the mountains are shrouded in pink soft light, which looks peaceful and comfortable.
Gu Shengchao took out a large cake from his arms and handed it to Zhuang Lutao: "Brother Zhuang, eat dry food." ”
"No, I have." Zhuang Lutao was still wary of Gu Shengchao, took out his dry food and chewed it, took off the kettle on his waist and raised his head to take a sip.
The Gu Sheng's oversized cake was dry and hard, and he found that the water bladder had fallen on the wooden house, so he discussed: "Brother Zhuang, can you borrow your kettle to quench your thirst." ”
"Aren't you afraid that my water is poisonous?" Zhuang Lutao seemed to be smiling, and the kettle was placed between the two.
Gu Shengchao picked up the kettle and took a sip, then put it back in place and said, "Brother Zhuang is a cheerful person, what am I afraid of?" ”
The two of them ate their own food in silence, Zhuang Lutao ate quickly, and after he took the lead in eating and asked Gu Shengchao's name, he stared at him and asked, "Brother Gu, are you new here?" ”
"How does Brother Zhuang know?" The ancient saint was super curious.
Zhuang Lutao smiled rarely: "The swordsmanship is different, the accent is different, and the way of doing things is even different." ”
"Perhaps, it has something to do with the fact that I have been a hard-working person since I was a child." Gu Shengchao explained, he thought for a moment and asked, "I still don't know, why do you have to take the risk to collect medicine after traveling thousands of miles from the Sirleng Kingdom to us?" ”
Zhuang Lutao sighed and said: "We were originally from the Central Plains, and we were implicated when the Dawu Dynasty unified the Central Plains, and the entire clan was forced to flee to the Xileng Kingdom. Now that the Sirloin Kingdom has imposed taxes on us, life is even more difficult, but fortunately, they are in urgent need of herbs to deduct the tax, and we searched all over the mountains, and when we found you, we just found that your people killed one of us indiscriminately, and cut off my right arm. ”
"Can't you do it without taking medicine?" Gu Shengchao asked.
He continued with a sad face: "What can we do, the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, knowing the danger, we have to take risks for the survival of the clansmen." ”
"Then you can't secretly attack and hurt people with a poisonous palm." Gu Shengchao introduces the main topic.
Zhuang Lutao was unconvinced and said: "One of us died, my right arm is gone, he is bedridden at most, we are exchanging our lives." ”
Gu Shengchao found that this matter itself was a dead knot, and there was no answer, he thought about it again and again, and stood up again and again, showing his sword in his left hand.
Zhuang Lutao was scared, sat on the ground and took two steps back and said uneasily: "What are you going to do?" ”
Gu Shengchao hugged his fists and said: "Brother Zhuang sacrificed his life and forgot death for the sake of his clan, the younger brother admired it very much, seeing that Brother Zhuang has strong internal strength but ordinary sword skills, the younger brother just has a set of left-arm swordsmanship here, and I want to discuss it with Brother Zhuang." ”
Zhuang Lutao understood at the moment that Gu Shengchao wanted to teach himself a set of left-arm swordsmanship, he got up and said respectfully: "Our clansmen and women weave to live a life without quarrel with the world, most of the martial arts are commonplace, and I am also a coincidence that my internal strength has increased greatly, and the Gu brothers are not disliked, and I am grateful." ”
"Brother Zhuang is polite, we are just asking for advice." Gu Shengchao told Zhuang Lutao all the Fengwu swordsmanship without reservation, and he did this mainly to admire the character of the other party who was willing to sacrifice for the clan, and hoped that Zhuang Lutao could better do more good deeds for the clan.
Zhuang Lutao studied seriously, the ancient saint taught carefully, and after noon, Zhuang Lutao finally fully understood.
The two parted, Zhuang Lutao looked at Gu Shengchao's back and was grateful, and couldn't help shouting: "Brother Gu stays." He saw Gu Shengchao stop and stepped forward and said, "Brother Gu doesn't care about the past suspicions, I'll tell you the method of detoxification." ”
Gu Shengchao was overjoyed, his trip was for this, he really had the intention to plant flowers and flowers without blooming and unintentionally planting willows and willows, Baili Huan once taught him the method of detoxification, and with this foundation, he went to learn other handy.
The difficulty of Zhuang Lutao's detoxification technique is to first reverse his meridians, and the rest of the steps are almost the same as those taught by Baili Huan. The key is that a person is accustomed to the normal operation of the meridians, and suddenly reverses dizziness, chest tightness, nausea, and vomiting, all kinds of discomfort comes one after another, and if the martial arts are exhausted, the weight loss is difficult to protect, and where is the mood to do other things.
An important part of retrograde meridians is to separate the acupuncture points from each other. You must know that acupuncture points are like every gate in the meridians, and if there is a problem with any gate, it will cause the entire meridian to be blocked and stop running.
After the separation of the two, the true qi in the meridians, whether it is normal or retrograde, does not matter in the slightest, and does not harm the body in the slightest. When the true qi is retrograde and stable, and then let the acupuncture points gradually return to their original positions, it will naturally not be affected. Of course, without strong internal force, no matter how much the truth is understood, it is only on paper and will not play any role.
Gu Shengchao slowly improved according to Zhuang Lutao's mental mantra, and it didn't take long for the meridians to retrograde to complete the transformation in just a moment.
The two discussed what they had learned with each other, and then they regretted parting ways.
The ancient saint was super sleepy, so he casually found a towering tree, jumped to it, and came to a place with dense branches to lie down and rest. When he woke up, it had been another night, but the clouds were thick and he couldn't figure out the time, anyway, the big thing had become a good thing in his heart, so he pulled his legs and hurried back.
It didn't go far but it rained, so I had to brave the rain to move forward. Galloping all the way, running for three days and still not finding Chijin Mountain, he was very puzzled, according to the time and distance, it should be nearby, he frantically searched left and right, and finally determined one thing.
He was lost.
What's worse is that the weather is always gloomy, and from time to time it rains, and the southeast and northwest are more and more unrecognizable.
Gu Shengchao was annoyed, Zhuang Lutao knew the way, it would be good if he led the way. If this is the case, you can only consider yourself unlucky, and you can always go out no matter where you go.
He traveled all the way over the mountains and mountains for more than ten days, and the dry food had long been eaten, and he could only catch some hares and pheasants to satisfy his hunger, and everywhere was damp and cold, and there was no way to make a fire, so he had to eat it alive. Sleeping in the open air, like a wild man.
On this day, Gu Shengchao finally came to a town. He inquired about passers-by, and by mistake, he came to a border town in the Xilang country, called Huaming City. He asked how to go back to the Dawu Dynasty, but the passers-by didn't know but told him: "There is a river next to Huaming City, and it should be possible to go downstream, because I often drink the cold tea of the Seven Star Cliffs of the Dawu Dynasty, which is said to be transported from downstream, and you can find out when you go to the dock and ask." ”
Gu Shengchao was ecstatic, as long as he could return to the Dawu Dynasty, it would be equivalent to a new trip from the Seven Star Cliff to the Valley of the Four Kings. He first went to the local perfume store to wash off the dirt on his body, bought new clothes, changed his dirty clothes, and went to the dock to find his way back.
"Wow, wow." A flock of blackbirds flew in the sky, followed closely by a large number of blackbirds.
Gu Shengchao looked up and couldn't help but change his face from afar, isn't this the kind of strange bird that looks like a crow but is not a crow that he saw in Raven Bay? His first thought was to quickly find a place to hide, but the people around him looked like they were familiar with it, and they still did what they should do, and no one was affected. Curious, he relied on his kung fu to advance by leaps and bounds, and followed the flock of birds in that direction.
After walking a short distance, a large high platform appeared in front of them, and those blackbirds swooped down in flocks, scrambling for each other. There were many people standing solemnly under the high platform, all of them silent, with serious expressions.
Gu Shengyue was curious, and quietly asked the passer-by next to him what he was doing.
Passers-by were surprised and said: "You are an outsider, after a person dies, he will be lifted to it, and the cycle of life and death will reciprocate, and the divine bird can help them reincarnate." ”
It turned out that Gu Shengchao finally understood why the blackbirds he and Ding Ying had seen in Raven Bay had gathered, they had spent the winter elsewhere and had to return here in the spring. Raven Bay is like a stop for these birds to stay and rest.
He remembered that he and Ding Ying had eaten a lot of such blackbirds at that time, and his stomach suddenly surged inexplicably, squatting aside and vomiting, and finally there was nothing left in his abdomen, so he still vomited a lot of sour water before he stopped.
