Chapter Seventy-Eight: Sect Inheritance
Gu Shengchao didn't dare to hesitate, seeing that the giant wolf's claws were only a few feet above his head, he jumped out to the side to dodge. The giant wolf's big paws slapped on the ground and stirred up dust, Gu Shengchao took advantage of the dust to go around the belly of the giant wolf, jumped high and used the "Soaring to the Sky" move in the palm of the Nine Heavens Blue Fall, hitting the belly of the giant wolf.
With a loud bang, Gu Shengchao felt that a lightning bolt appeared in front of him, and he couldn't see anything, only felt a strong gust of wind blowing, blowing him swaying in the air and falling down. His arms seemed to be about to break, and the pain was excruciating.
After Gu Shengchao landed, he rolled over, and only when he unloaded the strength of the fall could he stand firmly. He moved his arms, but fortunately, they didn't break except for the pain.
The giant wolf had fallen to the ground, startling the sky with dust, and the giant wolf's abdomen seemed to have a big hole in its abdomen that was constantly leaking, and it quickly deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into nothing.
The giant wolf dissipated, and Gu Shengchao saw a person lying on his side not far away, that person's face was full of beard, and it was stained with blood, blood kept pouring out of his mouth, and his chest was also stained red. Next to it is a drum, which requires at least three or four people to close, and the drum skin has been shattered, leaving only the broken drum cavity to basically fall apart.
The two competed for internal strength, after all, Gu Sheng was the one who was superior, and the other party tried his best to cause internal injuries, and it seemed that there was something wrong with the dantian and meridians.
The giant wolf is gone, the drum is broken, and the devil is injured.
The evil wolves gathered on the desert lost control and dispersed with their tails between their legs, and the desert under the night was peaceful, but there was a strong bloody atmosphere.
The middle-aged man led everyone to come, and seeing their embarrassed appearances, they must have fought hard just now.
One person saw that the wolf demon was already seriously injured, and he ran over with a steel knife in his hand to kill him, but was stopped by a middle-aged man and said: "It is better to settle the grievance, see that he should also be a waste, spare his life!" ”
"But, but, who will pay for my brother's life!" The man held the steel knife and his whole body trembled, and he was in pain.
The middle-aged man was also sad, hugged the man's shoulder and comforted: "This person is also my uncle anyway, just spare him, people can't be resurrected after death, I will do my best to help you." ”
The wolf demon struggled to stand up, like a bloody man, and he said proudly: "I have been in the desert for decades, even if the meridians are destroyed, I don't need you to pity them. He took out a dagger from behind him and pointed it at the people: "None of you, any of you have the right to decide my life or death, and I am in charge of my own life." ”
After he finished speaking, he stabbed the dagger to his chest with his backhand, although he was unwilling to finally fall down, and a generation of demons chose to leave the world by committing suicide.
The middle-aged man sighed, knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to the wolf demon three times, went back and took a handful of puffs from the camel's bag, and dug a pit the size of a man to bury the wolf demon.
Ding Ying had never experienced such a crisis, and she still had palpitations by Gu Shengchao's side, holding his arm with both hands and refusing to let go in order to strengthen her courage. Gu Shengchao took back the Fengwu Sword, Ding Ying was a little reluctant, he explained: "This sword has a relationship with you and me, and I will talk to you in detail when I return to Luocrow Bay." ”
In the team of thirteen people, after counting, four people were killed, one was seriously injured, most of them were slightly injured, and Gu Shengchao helped bury the four people on the spot. The scene was full of blood, and everyone was afraid of causing more trouble, so they made a little repair and embarked on the journey.
Everyone walked forward not far before the sky was bright, Gu Shengchao suggested that he should travel another distance and stop to rest when he arrived at the small village in front, where there was a small river where he could take a bath and wash away the bloody gas on his body, and everyone agreed.
The middle-aged man also said: "I went to that village once, but I never found it again." ”
Gu Shengchao discerned the direction, and finally vaguely saw five lonely houses in the distance near noon, and everyone rushed there with hope. When they got closer, they were disappointed, and there were really only these few houses left, and the rest were deserted, and the dry river not far from the houses showed everyone the coolness of the past, and the scorching sun roasted people like steamers.
Now that they were here, everyone was helpless, so they hurried to the house to escape the scorching and carried the seriously wounded man into the house to rest. The houses are all adobe houses made of rammed mud, and the roofs are flat and paved with sand willows, but the mud on them has long been blown away by the wind, and it can still provide some shade from the sun. Everyone made do with something to eat and hurry to sleep, they were all exhausted from the hard fight last night, and they were tired enough. The animals had no choice, so they all consciously hid in the shade behind the house to rest.
When the sun was setting, the seriously wounded man stopped wailing, everyone was worried about his safety but could not do anything, and when the sun set, the seriously wounded man stopped moaning and died. The people were so heavy that they were silent after burying the man.
The middle-aged man looked at Gu Shengchao and said in a low voice: "Little brother, you also see that our team is seriously damaged, and it can't withstand the next impact at all, can you accompany us to complete the rest of the journey, if you need to pay for it, you can discuss." ”
"Big brother is serious, if the two of us encounter last night's trouble, I'm afraid we will be invincible, there are many people and there is great strength, and we can't wait to go together." Gu Shengchao said politely, although he knew that the wolf demon had deliberately come to target this team last night.
The middle-aged man was relieved and led everyone to continue on the road.
At night, Gu Shengchao and the middle-aged man rode a horse and a camel at the front of the team, chatting and learning that the middle-aged man's name was Fuqumeng, a merchant in Beihu, who often sold some private goods between Beihu and the Dawu Dynasty. There is no normal trade channel between the two countries, and they can only make a living by licking blood on the tip of a knife, although the profits are also huge.
"Brother Fuqu, this time the wolf demon is obviously coming for you, when you arrive at the Dawu Dynasty, do you still want to go back?" Gu Shengchao said worriedly.
Fuqu sighed fiercely and said: "I can't go back, fortunately, I also know some friends in the Dawu Dynasty, and it won't be a problem to have their help to settle down here, but these children who came out with me are miserable, and they can't go back to their homes." ”
"Brother Fuqu said last night that the sect to which the wolf demon belongs has withered and decayed, can you tell the younger brother which sect it is?" Gu Shengchao asked cautiously, last night he was about to tell the story, and the siege of the wolves interrupted the conversation between the two.
Fuqu Meng smiled heartily: "What's the matter, let me ask you, have you ever heard of the Phoenix Dance and Phoenix Sword Technique of the Dawu Dynasty?" ”
Gu Shengchao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It is rumored that many years ago, the Phoenix Dance Sword Technique ranked first in the Dawu Dynasty, but now it has been lost. ”
"It's not lost, it's just passed down in a different way." Frustrated Qu looked at the hazy night in the distance and said: "I also heard that it is rumored that the Fengwu Qiuhuang faction was excluded and suppressed in the Dawu Dynasty, and later came to my Beihu to recruit disciples, and experienced prosperity and prosperity. Later, for some reason, there was internal strife, one faction continued to go west, and in the end it is unknown, and the other faction returned to the Dawu Dynasty and there was no news, leaving part of the faction to focus on swordsmanship cultivation, and a few people found another way to ponder perception and mental methods, and there was a branch of the three major demons of Beihu. ”
Gu Shengchao became more and more curious when he heard this: "Then Brother Frustration's faction is still called Feng Wu to seek the Phoenix Sword Technique?" ”
Frustrated Qu waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare to call it that, after that internal strife, Feng Wu Qiu Huang Sword Technique lost many moves, it was originally a two-handed sword, and in the end, only the right-handed sword remained." Leaving everyone to dare to claim to be phoenix dancing and seeking phoenix swordsmanship, they are all scattered and become inherited within the family, like our Fuqu people are called Fuqu swordsmanship, and Helan is called Helan swordsmanship, in which the inheritance of cause and effect is only passed on by word of mouth to tell future generations. The wolf demon and I are not the same team, but my uncle according to my seniority. ”
"I see." Gu Shengchao understood that the Shuangjian Sect he encountered in the Xileng Kingdom might be the faction that moved westward as mentioned by Fuqu Mengfang, but the other faction had returned to the Dawu Dynasty, how could no one know, this was really a mystery.
He remembered the record he saw in the cave of Snake Island in the Valley of the Four Kings, Sima Xicheng forced Gongsun Qiu to write down a fake phoenix dance swordsmanship, thinking that he would be invincible in the world, but he never expected that the emperor would be afraid of a single family, and founded the Wuwang Palace to divide the forces of all parties. Perhaps it was in this situation that Sima Xicheng's faction felt unprecedented pressure, so he was forced to come to Beihu to establish a sect.
Gu Shengchao and Fu Qumeng led the way and stopped to identify the direction, and the two confirmed that the direction of travel was the same, and then they were relieved to set off again.
"Plop!"
Someone in the ranks suddenly fell off a camel.
"Stop, my daughter-in-law has fallen, she is pregnant, stop quickly." The woman on another camel exclaimed.
Everyone got off the camel and stepped forward to help, and the woman groaned: "Oops, my stomach hurts." ”
Another woman was scared after the examination and said: "Oh no, my daughter-in-law is bleeding underneath, I guess she is going to give birth, hurry up and ask the midwife!" ”
Frustration was struck, where were there other people in this wilderness.
Ding Ying volunteered: "If it really doesn't work, I'll try it, I accompanied my master in the countryside to help deliver someone once." ”
"Quick, quick, you can order what you need to do directly, and we will do it." Frustrated Qu fiercely said loudly: "This girl is delivering a baby, everyone listens to her, and there must be no mistakes." ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ding Ying, which made her a little restrained, she looked around and said, "Prepare a thick cushion for the mother and put it under you, and each man will find a thick cloth, as well as water bladders and torches and put them here for me." ”
Everyone acted quickly and quickly complied, and Gu Shengchao took out the tarpaulin for shading for later use. Ding Ying lit a torch and fixed it with stones, and placed the water bladder next to the mother, and she instructed the crowd: "Madame and I stay in the middle, and all the men open their cloths with their backs to us to block the wind. ”
The men used the thick cotton cloth, felt, and tarpaulin in their hands to butt together, surrounded the three women in an airtight group, and then stood with their backs to them.
Gu Shengchao and Fuqu Meng happened to be next to each other, and he asked in a low voice: "Brother Fuqu is really big-hearted, and the mother who is about to give birth dares to bring it to the team, last night's wolf demon came for her, right?" ”
Frustrated Qumeng was very helpless: "Let my brother laugh, I can't help it." The father and son of the right captain were framed and imprisoned by the traitor, and I was almost beheaded once for selling illicit goods, but it was the right captain who protected me, so he went to visit, he was afraid that his family would be implicated, so he asked me to take them away for the sake of the successor. Dadu Wei only has one wife, and his daughter-in-law is about to give birth, so I have to take a risk and try, but I know that the other party still doesn't plan to let go, if it weren't for the help of brothers, I would have died in this vast desert. ”
The two chatted in a low voice, and a crisp cry came from the center of the cloth fence, and after a while, Ding Ying shouted inside: "Okay, you can remove the things that are around." ”
Gu Shengchao took the tarpaulin, and a woman inside kowtowed to Ding Ying and said gratefully: "Thank you, girl, thank God, mother and son are safe, I have a successor to the Huyan family." ”
The mother was too weak to ride, so they set up a tent and set up camp here. After five days of rest, the mother was able to sit firmly on the camel with her baby in her arms, and the team set off again. After three more days, we finally arrived at the boundary of the Dawu Dynasty.
