Chapter Ninety-Three: Late Night Tracking
"Mother, the water is coming."
Yu Chiyao said and brought two glasses of water, one for Liu Ximei and one for Wan Ruo, but there was no Gu Shengchao.
"Thank you, Yaoyao." Wan Ruo took the water cup with both hands and proudly showed it to Gu Shengchao.
Pouting, Gu Shengchao ate the rest of the meal in a few bites and asked, "Where have they gone now, Jin Anchun?" ”
Wan Ruo took a sip of water and said: "After you were injured and unconscious, Sister Liu killed Tong Zhengang, the king of the Northern Heavens, and I killed some village soldiers, and the others were scattered as birds and beasts." Someone reported to the official, and after the yamen came, Jin Anchun showed them the tooth card and documents, and no one asked anymore. Jin Anchun, they originally wanted to stay by your side and wait for you to sober up before making a decision, but I rejected their kindness. ”
"Since the Martial King Palace has sent two Heavenly Kings and one messenger, there will definitely be no ambush on the way back, and it is a great opportunity to pass smoothly. This place is not far from the capital, and it happened that Sister Liu and the two of them rode four horses in order to save horsepower, so I asked them to immediately escort Gao Yuanwai and Cai Ji back to the capital. If it goes well, you should go back to the yamen now. Wan Ruo looked at the setting sun in the room and estimated the hour.
"Yaoyao, this water is so delicious, is there sugar?" Wan Ruo put down the water glass and praised.
Yu Chiyao nodded: "My mother is not used to drinking white water, so I added a little honey." ”
Gu Shengchao remembered the days of dating Liu Ximei, but he didn't find these details, not even a little girl, and couldn't help but feel: "I'm a rough person, I don't know how to care about others, and I can get the love of my two sisters. ”
Staring at Gu Shengchao's guilty expression, Wan Ruo said curiously: "I also just found out when your flamboyant tongue became sweeter than honey, which makes me rare." With that, he pinched his face.
"It hurts, it hurts." Gu Shengchao shouted deliberately.
Wan Ruo gave his hand: "It's not early, let's eat and rest for one night, and set off tomorrow morning." ”
"Well, I'm hungry." Yu Chiyao said honestly.
Gu Shengchao touched his stomach and regretted: "Oops, I didn't eat that bowl of noodles if I knew it, and I don't want to eat now." ”
Wan Ruo said proudly: "Silly, I didn't think about inviting you to dinner, our sisters just got together, but I didn't take you." ”
"You look at this first, and I'll teach you at night if there's something you don't understand." Liu Ximei threw the book "Iron Arm Divine Skill" to Gu Shengchao, took Wan Ruo and Wei Chiyao's hands and left.
Gu Shengchao closed the door of the house, and the sun sank in the west in a short time, which was the time when the lanterns were first put in the hands of every household.
Lighting the candle, he carefully opened the interlayer of the cover of "Iron Arm Divine Skill" and read it carefully.
There are both legends and text descriptions on it, which are easy to understand.
Gu Shengchao was glad that he did not waste his time in the Xilan Kingdom, in his heart, what helped him the most was the thin "Explanation of the Formula" that even Wu Jun couldn't look at.
Although Shui Linglong later sent him "Detailed Explanation of the Formula" is richer in content, without the enlightenment and guidance of "Explanation of the Formula", no matter how good the book is, it is useless.
Looking at it line by line, Gu Shengyue felt the wisdom and intelligence of his ancestors, everyone practiced the Iron Arm Divine Skill, and finally there was a life gate that was unguardable, threatening the lives of the practitioners at any time, but there was no way to improve it.
It was because he knew where Zhao Yin's tiger life was located, and Gu Shengchao, who had ordinary martial arts at the beginning, used the "Xuanqing" night pearl as a bait to easily kill him and avenge the murder of his father.
It turns out that this disgusting life gate is very useful.
The Iron Arm God function allows practitioners to refine their bones and flesh to achieve the effect of invulnerability. But this is only a physical transformation, and it is not truly infallible.
Just like this time Gu Shengchao was in distress, no matter how strong his body was, he couldn't resist the heavy blow of a sharp weapon.
The mental method in the cover compartment allows the practitioner to use his true qi to form an armor-like layer of protection on the surface of the skin, truly achieving the effect of invulnerability.
Since it has been invulnerable in the early stage, the only connection between the true qi on the surface of the skin and the dantian is the gap in the life gate, when the true qi is transformed into armor, the life gate is naturally protected, and there is no need to worry about being attacked here.
When the danger is removed, the dantian can suck back the true qi on the surface of the skin through the life gate, and it can be used again next time.
This layer of armor transformed from true qi is divided into four stages: gold, silver, copper, and iron, with iron being the bottom and gold being the top. Liu Ximei can now conjure up silver armor, and he is not far from the highest level of iron arm divine skills.
While reading, Gu Shengchao involuntarily followed the practice, and unconsciously, he caught a glimpse of the skin on the back of his hand changing color, and immediately threw away the book he was holding in a startle.
He was frightened, his true qi dissipated, and the color of the back of his hand returned to its original state.
Don't?
Gu Shengchao couldn't believe it.
He slowly managed to protect his body with the Iron Arm Divine Skill, everything was normal, and then continued to practice according to the mental method in the cover compartment, and a thin layer of iron armor condensed on the surface of his skin. He continued his luck, the armor gradually increased in thickness, and a real set of armor appeared on him.
He practiced at will for the Nine Heavens Blue Palm, and the flickering was not affected at all. This set of armor condensed by true qi is soft and hard, and it is completely free of the heaviness and discomfort of ordinary iron armor.
It's done!
Gu Shengchao was overjoyed, and his true qi came to the meridians through the life gate and finally returned to the dantian.
Skin is back to normal.
Gu Shengchao was like a treasure, and he held the "Iron Arm Divine Skill" and re-read it under the lamp, reciting it while reading, lest he miss important details until he memorized all the contents.
For fear of forgetting, he closed the book and sat cross-legged, reciting it silently in his heart.
The door was gently pushed in, and a wonderful figure walked in through the crack in the door, slowly closed the door and plugged in the deadbolt.
"You've drunk." Gu Shengchao smelled the smell of wine.
After stumbling a little while walking, Liu Ximei sat down beside Gu Shengchao and grabbed his arm: "If Sister Wan is in a good mood, she has to let us drink, if she wasn't worried that I wouldn't be able to accompany you at night, I would have been drunk a long time ago." ”
With a crimson face and blurry eyes, Liu Ximei was indeed a little drunk, and leaned on Gu Shengchao's body softly.
"What about that girl Yu Chiyao, isn't she afraid of the dark and afraid to sleep alone?" Gu Shengchao remembered the last experience.
Liu Ximei raised her eyes and looked at him, her hazy eyes became more and more seductive, "There is a sister here, she accompanied her sister, just the two of us tonight." ”
She leaned on Gu Shengchao's body tightly, like a well-behaved tanuki: "How much I understand in "Iron Arm Divine Skill", I can tell you what I don't understand." ”
Gu Shengchao didn't speak, stretched out his arm to let the true qi gather on the surface of his skin, and in a moment, a body of iron armor condensed on the surface of his skin.
"How did you do it?" Liu Ximei couldn't believe it: "I remember that the most basic part of this set of kung fu is what I told you, how can you understand it yourself?" ”
"Three days should be impressive, let alone so long. I was fortunate enough to study for a while at the Yunqi Palace in the West Cold Kingdom, and I happened to learn the understanding of mantras. "Gu Shengchao collected his true qi and restored his skin to normal.
"That's good, so you don't have to worry about whether you can learn or not." Liu Ximei leaned on his shoulder, blinking his dark eyes, tender and charming.
Gu Shengchao hugged her lovingly, Liu Ximei fell into his arms, grabbed his neck, his eyes were full of desire, and he waited patiently for his arrangement.
Liu Ximei's biggest advantage is that he does not fight or grab, and he does what he wants, unlike Wan Ruo, who is domineering and knows that he has the determination and courage to do it.
Gu Shengchao couldn't help but kiss her lightly, picked her up and brought her to the bed......
It was late at night after the two of them, and the candle flame had already burned out and extinguished itself, and the two hugged each other and did not give up their dreams.
Gu Shengchao was immersed in joy and suddenly sensed that there seemed to be someone outside the window, he intently investigated, and sure enough, the breath of a person appeared outside the window, tiptoeing back and forth in the corridor, as if he couldn't make up his mind.
"There's someone outside the window." Gu Shengchao and Liu Ximei whispered, got up and quietly put on their robes, and came to the door.
A bright light appeared in the corner of the window lattice, and a thin incense burned through the window paper and peeked in.
Incense!
Gu Shengchao flicked his fingers, and the incense flew out upside down.
"Oops!" The man outside was defenseless as if he was being burned, and he knew that he was exposed, so he ran on the roof.
Gu Shengchao flashed out of the door and chased after him.
The town is not big, and after a few leaps, he came to the outskirts, and the person in front of him was extremely fast, and his posture was special, and his body twisted to the side from time to time, as if he was dodging something.
Gu Sheng is super funny, it seems that he has met an acquaintance.
Outside Huaming City, a small city on the border of Xileng, Fan Datou carried Yang Qianhui and wanted to do something wrong, and he was like this when he fled, ready to guard against the sneak attack of the darts behind.
The two of them ran five or six miles one after the other, and the other party's figure suddenly disappeared in the night, and there was only a babbling river in front of them.
Gu Shengchao walked forward cautiously, keeping an eye on the other party's darts.
He smiled.
Hidden by the grass and shrubs along the river, a scent hides over the water. I couldn't see it in the night, I thought it was soaked in the river, and only my head was exposed.
"What about the people, alas, they still let him run." Gu Shengchao muttered to himself, deliberately looked away for a moment, and then turned around and walked back slowly.
Not far away, there was a thriving farmland, and he leaned over and hid.
After waiting patiently for a while, a head emerged from the river and looked this way.
The two of them seemed to be testing their perseverance, and no one moved to consume it like this, after all, Fan Datou couldn't hold his breath, swam across the river, took off his wet coat and ran forward.
There are few places to hide in the suburbs, but fortunately, the ancient saint has a wide range of perception, as long as he locks on the breath of the other party, even if he takes a detour for a long distance, he can track it in a concealed situation.
Fan Datou in front was also alert, and stopped from time to time to look back. He seemed to notice something strange behind him, and often turned around suddenly, but never found any trace of Gu Shengchao.
After walking and stopping for more than ten miles, Fan Datou hugged his clothes and walked into a huge palace with a scale comparable to the imperial palace in the capital wearing only close-fitting clothes.
The ancient saint Chao Nahan, slowly approaching and observing, the sign hanging above the tall palace gate was impressively written with three big characters:
"Martial King Palace."
