Seeing Gu Shengchao's nervous appearance, Qiu Xiao quipped: "What are you afraid of, isn't it just some mental methods and formulas, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

"However, I'm new here, how can He De let the valley master value it so much?" He spoke of his doubts.

Qiu Xiao laughed and said, "Actually, you have already understood these things that I am going to teach you today, and I am just icing on the cake." ”

"How is this possible?" Gu Shengchao couldn't believe that how he could know the core content of the Four Kings Valley Peerless Sect in advance.

Patting him on the shoulder, Qiu Xiao said kindly: "When you first came to the Valley of the Four Kings to compete with Wan Ruo in the council hall, I could see at a glance that Lu Chuan had already taught you his mastery. As I said just now, the Four Kings Valley Nine Heavens Biluo Palm Palm Method and Mantra originated from Snake Island, since Lu Chuan understands it, of course he told you without reservation, they are all passed down in the same vein, and the difference is a millimeter, I have nothing to hide. ”

Gu Shengchao still had doubts, and said puzzledly: "I heard Wan Ruo say that the Nine Heavens Biluo Palm Method and mantra can only be inherited by the Valley Master, I just acted as the Evil Demon King, and I haven't made an inch, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public if it is passed on." ”

Qiu Xiao laughed loudly: "Those who become big things are not informal, everyone hides for fear that others will learn, and in the end they will harm others and themselves, and their kung fu can only be constantly regressed, and finally they will not be able to catch up, and there will be no successors." Furthermore, if you learn not to show it easily, others will not be able to know about it. I have sent a carpenter to carve out the meridian diagram on Snake Island, and I will hang it on the wall of the council hall in the future, so that everyone will have the opportunity to observe it, and as for the progress, we can only rely on our own creation. ”

Gu Shengchao saluted: "Thank you for the help of the valley master, Gu Shengchao is grateful." ”

Qiu Xiao smiled: "It's serious, I'll teach you kung fu!" ”

At that moment, Qiu Xiao told Gu Shengchao the Nine Heavens Biluo Palm Method and the mantra word by word. Fortunately, he studied the "Detailed Explanation of the Formula" and knew the terms in it well, and Lu Chuan's kung fu was also born on Snake Island, so he was able to master it without any obstacles.

Seeing his rapid progress, Qiu Xiao was also pleased: "I was originally afraid that you wouldn't be able to understand for a while, but this is fine, it saves me a lot of time." ”

Gu Shengchao arched his hand and said: "The valley master has taught well, how dare I not study hard." ”

"You, the sycophant kung fu in the rivers and lakes is exempt, it's all for the future development of our Four Kings Valley, and it's better to go straight." Qiu Xiao interrupted Gu Shengchao's compliment and ordered: "That Fan Lixin wants to return to the capital like an arrow, I have already discussed with him, this time you and Wan Ruo will accompany him back to assist the emperor in dealing with the Wuwang Palace." ”

Gu Shengchao was shocked: "As far as my subordinates know, the Valley of the Four Kings has always been non-gangster, and it has been low-key in the rivers and lakes, so why should it be judged this time." ”

Qiu Xiao sighed and said, "It's really not what it used to be, and many things can't help you and me." Now that the Wuwang Palace is dominant, and even the imperial court is not in its eyes, in the long run, our Four Kings Valley will definitely suffer from it, rather than sitting and waiting to die, it is better to extinguish its edge first, and give us more buffer time. If you and Wan Ruo go to the capital this time, don't play the banner of our Four Kings Valley first, listen to Fan Lixin and say that I will give you an official and a half-post first, and take this opportunity to carry out follow-up actions, and you can act on your own. ”

"Honorable Order." Gu Shengchao knew that this trip was important to the Valley of the Four Kings, and he couldn't be sloppy.

Qiu Xiao settled down and said, "You practice well, I will take the first step, and we may be able to meet in the capital." ”

"What, the valley lord is going out too?" Gu Shengchao surprise.

Qiu Xiao nodded and said: "With the faint king of the single group to take care of the things in the valley, I can also travel far away with confidence, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, and if I don't go out for a walk, I will soon become a frog at the bottom of the well." ”

"Practice hard, every drop of sweat you pay now is the confidence to save your life in the future." Qiu Xiao told Gu Shengchao not to relax and to leave.

Gu Shengchao followed: "It's some distance back to the Valley of the Four Kings, I'll go back with the valley master." ”

Qiu Xiao waved his hand: "We are not on the same path, I plan to take the waterway this time and observe the transportation of our timber along the way." ”

"The valley lord has a good trip." Gu Shengchao said goodbye, he had heard Wan Ruo say that nearly half of the timber in the Valley of the Four Kings was transported down the river by water, and finally loaded onto large ships in seaside ports, and then sent everywhere along the coast.

Snake Island was littered with ashes, and there were some large trees lying on the ground that had not burned out, and their trunks were burned to charcoal. The wind blows, and occasionally sparks splash around, and a little spark is unwilling to be extinguished.

Gu Shengchao walked to the cave where he found the remnants of the three strokes of the Feng Wu swordsmanship, where the vegetation was luxuriant, and most of the stone walls were cracked after being tempered by cold and heat under the burning fire, and the three rooms had collapsed, and the remaining one was also broken in half, the stone wall was scorched and shattered, and the inscriptions on it no longer existed.

The sky was getting late, the sunset was like a pill, Gu Shengchao on the island taught Qiu Xiao his mental method and mantra combined with the Nine Heavens Blue Palm, and practiced repeatedly to be proficient.

At this time, the moon rises, the huge snake island is silent, Gu Shengchao is a little sad, maybe after a few years, this place is still flourishing, snakes and insects will return here, but the secret that was once hidden here will never appear again.

Jumping across the river, Gu Shengchao found the horse and flew up, and returned from the horse on a moonlit night.

He returned to the Valley of the Four Kings, thinking that he would be in a hurry if he didn't know, but he never thought that she had found the answer from Shan Qun, and sat leisurely and leisurely drinking tea under the tree in the courtyard.

After telling her about her future plans, Gu Shengchao summoned the Fengwu Sword and handed it to Wan Ruo: "Our trip may be a little dangerous, this sword is extremely sharp, and the lady is just holding it for self-defense." ”

The sword was cold, Wan Ruo held it in his palm and danced a sword flower, and exclaimed: "Good sword, this is the phoenix dance sword that Lu Wanshan asked you to hand over to Yan Xi." ”

Gu Shengchao nodded: "I don't know when the trip to Beihu will be, so let's keep it by the lady for the time being." ”

"Wan Yanxi." Wan Ruo groaned: "What kind of girl is it? ”

Gu Shengchao's head was big, "I already told you, isn't it just a blind person, you women know what to think." ”

"Really?" Wan Ruo took the sword and leaned over to hug Yi Zhonglang: "I have some ideas now, it depends on whether you cooperate or not." ”

Hugging Wan Ruo's neck, Gu Shengchao was well-behaved like a child in her arms, blinked and said, "I fully cooperate with the lady's affairs." ”

Wan Ruo laughed, hugged him into the house and closed the door with his backhand......

The next day, Gu Shengchao went to find Fan Lixin, and the other party couldn't wait to rush back to the capital. After Gu Shengchao and Wan Ruo discussed, they said goodbye to Shan Qun, and after obtaining Fan Lixin's consent, he first blindfolded him with a black cloth, and took a boat out of the Valley of the Four Kings to the river beach.

Looking around, Fan Lixin said with emotion: "It is said that the location of the Valley of the Four Kings is hidden, even if I am looking for the entrance now, I am afraid it will not be easy." ”

Gu Shengchao apologized and said: "We also follow the rules of the Valley of the Four Kings, and I hope that Brother Fan will understand." ”

Fan Lixin is also reasonable, "Be careful to make the thousand-year-old ship, the Valley of the Four Kings can develop until now without fighting in the rivers and lakes, which is really rare." ”

The three of them walked to Qingguo Town, where horses were being prepared, and the three of them brought some dry food and water bladders, and rushed to the direction of the capital together.

Fan Lixin hated the betrayal of his junior brother Cui Zhu, and led the two to take revenge first.

When Cui Zhu saw his senior brother coming back, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that he was also forced to be helpless, and that there was an old mother in her seventies at home, and a baby who had just learned to walk, so she had to do this.

Cui Zhu saw that Fan Lixin hesitated, and kowtowed even more like pounding garlic, his forehead was broken, and blood was splashed all over the ground.

Fan Lixin originally wanted to know Cui Zhu's life directly, but seeing that his words were true, he couldn't bear to start thinking of his fellow disciples, and finally put down the Emei thorn that was raised high, turned around and left.

The three of them walked unhurriedly for more than a month, Gu Shengchao was worried that Fan Lixin was seriously injured and was recovering, Fan Lixin was afraid that if a woman could not win the saddle horse, the three of them did not go fast, and on this day they came to the location of the county guard of Changqing County, and found a restaurant to eat and drink to relieve the fatigue on the road.

Gu Shengchao remembered the past when he escorted Dart Yin to pass by here and Dragon Tiger Village in the worry-free dart bureau, and he was embarrassed, so he asked the guy: "Dare to be the county guard, but the surname is too late?" ”

The guy looked at Gu Shengchao with some curiosity and said, "Did the guest officer come here some time ago?" ”

"Of course I've been here, and I had a good relationship with the county guard at the time, so I knew each other."

The guy threw the towel over his shoulder and said disdainfully: "All the guest officers know is the old Huang calendar, and the current county guard's surname is Chen, and he has already changed his surname." ”

"Then the original county guard was promoted and made a fortune?" Gu Shengchao was also interested in Yu Chiyao's family.

"Promoted to get rich, they want to be beautiful, it's impossible." The guy has nothing to do, the inn is not busy at this time, so he is not in a hurry to go out, seeing that Gu Shengchao knows a little about this place, he sat down and chatted.

Gu Shengchao was puzzled: "I haven't been here recently, little brother will talk slowly." ”

The guy pretended to be old and said: "The guest officer doesn't know, it turns out that the county guard family is quite domineering, and they have always eaten and drunk for nothing when they come to us, and they have never made silver, and we dare not be angry if we can't afford to provoke it." Later, it was estimated that they offended the figures in the officialdom and removed them from their official positions. The county guard has just taken office and has not made enough money, and he is in a hurry to attack his heart, and he is dying, and the county guard's wife has no relatives here, and she is in a hurry and has a serious illness and goes with the county guard. ”

Gu Shengchao thought to himself, it turned out that the county guard was the criminal department, and the Shangshu of the criminal department was killed in Luoxian Lake, and these people would naturally not end up very well without the backstage.

He saw that the guy was very talkative, so he asked, "I heard that there is a little girl in the Weichi County Shou family, who is quite handsome, where did that girl go later?" ”

The guy was happy: "You said that little girl, but it's terrible, on weekdays, there is a father who is a county guard, arrogant and arrogant, we serve a little slower and come up to fight, and there is no one around who is not beaten." When her parents died, there was no one to help her, so she had to put straw on her head and sell herself to bury her father. ”

Gu Shengchao was also surprised, and felt pity for Wei Chiyao, and asked, "Later, did anyone help her?" ”

"Who will help her, come here to make the chickens and dogs jump here, and if you don't secretly harm her, you are worthy of her, besides, that girl has reached the age of marriage, who wants to buy a maid so big." The gang is still angry with Wei Chi Yao, it seems that the girl's character is really bad.

Gu Shengchao smiled and asked, "Where did the girl go in the end?" ”

The guy sighed a few times and said: "It's also a good fate for that girl, and finally a son came, and somehow he fell in love with that girl, and he was willing to pay for her to deal with her parents' afterlife, and took that girl away." I think that boy is also a wronged man, and sooner or later he will have to make that girl angry to death. ”

Gu Shengchao wanted to ask something, but at this time, a guest came, and the guy hurriedly got up and went to get busy.
