On the second day, Ding Ying studied for a whole day, and finally mastered the method of meridian retrograde.

After dinner, Gu Shengchao sat on the steps at the door of the east wing with his eyes closed, trying to control his perception, but found that no matter how he did it, he couldn't put it away freely.

Lu Chuan came out of the main house, and obviously felt that Gu Shengchao's perception had locked on him, and immediately the internal force leaked out, and Gu Shengchao's perception range immediately rippled, and nothing could be detected like a fog.

"Stinky boy, even I won't let go."

Lu Chuan moved to this side with a smile, and when he saw Yan Xi, he was suddenly stunned.

Wan Yanxi sat there with his hands on his chest, still juggling more than a dozen scimitars flying up and down, but to Lu Chuan's surprise, he didn't feel any fluctuations in mystical power, as if those scimitars were uncontrollable and playing on their own.

Sensing Lu Chuan's arrival, Wan Yanxi hurriedly put away the scimitar, stood aside and gave up the chair, "Senior, please sit, make a mistake in front of the senior, the class has an axe." ”

"Yes, the old man still wants to come over to learn a thing or two, it seems that there is no need for this." Lu Chuan sat down and was very pleased.

"It's necessary, you full men don't know that hungry men are hungry, and I'm still in the dark." Without waiting for Yan Xi to reply, Gu Shengchao immediately stood up and objected.

Lu Chuan was happy: "You, never let me worry, hurry up and listen carefully." ”

Gu Shengchao rushed over with an arrow step, sitting on the ground in a proper manner, like a child in a school.

Lu Chuan had no reservations, just like the two of them met for the first time in the deep valley, and explained the tricks of how to control perception.

The ancient saint Chao suddenly opened, and immediately started to practice without moving.

Lu Chuan got up and went back to the house and patted Gu Shengchao on the back: "Practice hard, you don't have to press your body with a lot of art, the rivers and lakes are sinister, and there is always a place to use." ”

Wan Yanxi also benefited a lot, and the formulas and tricks taught by Lu Chuan played the finishing touch, and her understanding of perception was very different from before.

In the past few days when the perfume store was delayed, Gu Shengchao, Wan Yanxi and Ding Ying have benefited a lot.

Ding Ying had a leg injury, and after dinner, she took out a soft whip and waved it in the courtyard at will.

Fang Xingdan raised flowers in the courtyard, and a bird flew to peck at the flowers.

"Go away."

Ding Ying waved the soft whip to drive away, although the tip of the whip could not reach, and the birds were frightened away, but they could also avoid damage to the flowers.

The birds flew high, and the whip made a crisp sound in the air.

"Smack!"

The tip of the whip is three or four feet away from the bird, and it can only serve as a fright.

However, the bird's body suddenly disconnected from the middle and fell.

This scene happened to be clearly seen by Fang Xingdan, who came out to catch the birds.

At the same time that the whip finally reached its limit, it released a light blue glow, which flew out and dissipated instantly.

It was in this short moment that Xuan Mang split the bird in two.

"Girl, have you recovered your internal strength?" Fang Xingdan was pleasantly surprised.

Ding Ying looked at the two corpses of the birds on the ground, and also fell into deep thought: "I, I didn't know it would be like this." ”

Gu Shengchao stayed in the perfume shop for a few more days, and then drove the carriage to Yan Xi and continued to travel towards the West Leng Kingdom.

Ding Ying was reluctant to give up and sent them out of Raven Bay.

Sending people away for thousands of miles will eventually have a farewell, BMW chased the wind and ran far away, Gu Shengchao turned around, and Ding Ying in the distance looked like a small dot, and he was still there unwilling to go back.

"Sister Ding Ying is infatuated, and my little sister is also admired." Wan Yanxi said quietly in the carriage, as if she had guessed Gu Shengchao's thoughts.

"You two live together, she told you." Gu Shengchao asked knowingly.

Wan Yanxi said with a smile: "At the beginning, we both had our own scruples and talked less, but in the last two nights, my sister talked a lot about her heart. I guess she didn't tell me, she wanted to convey it to you through my mouth. ”

"yes, what did you say?" Gu Shengchao was very interested.

Wan Yanxi didn't answer directly: "I don't say that Big Brother Gu should have guessed it, let's wait for my sister to tell you in person." ”

At this moment, a fast horse carrying the post man overtook the chasing wind and galloped forward.

The fast horse that went away stimulated a strong desire to win and lose, it had never met an opponent in the grassland, spread its four hooves and chased forward, and the carriage it pulled was bumpy, and Wan Yanxi also staggered inside.

"Harness, Harness......"

Gu Shengchao tugged on the reins hard to slow down the speed of chasing the wind, and when it saw that its master would not let it chase, it was so angry that it raised its hooves high and stepped to the ground irritably.

"Big Brother Gu's BMW has a strong temperament, but I'm afraid it will take a lot of training to control it freely." The first time Yan Xi saw Gu Shengchao, he just rode a chasing wind without a saddle horse, so he naturally knew.

Gu Shengchao said: "I suddenly remembered, can my sister stay in the perfume store for a few more days, I rode to the Valley of the Four Kings to visit my pregnant lady, originally to the West Leng country is a long way, the emperor should not know." ”

"Not necessarily." Wan Yanxi's voice came from the carriage: "Maybe our every move is under the control of the emperor." ”

"No, he's not with us, how can he see it?" Gu Shengchao didn't believe it.

"Just because the emperor doesn't follow us doesn't mean that others are not like this." Wan Yanxi explained: "My father was originally a big household in Beihuzuo, managing vast grasslands and tens of thousands of people, whenever someone went to perform official duties alone, there were always a few people secretly observing, lest that person do not obey the orders and act privately. ”

Gu Shengchao shook his head: "Don't use suspicious people, don't be suspicious when employing people, I'm afraid it's not right." ”

Wan Yanxi "cut" and said: "Human nature is like this, if you don't beat or scold, you will indulge yourself, and the more freedom you give, the more slack you are." There are very few people who are as self-disciplined as Brother Gu, and it is not for nothing. ”

Haha laughed a few times, Gu Shengchao laughed at himself: "I have been delayed in Luoya Bay for a few days, and I am also indulging myself in the pretense of public benefit." ”

Wan Yanxi pursed her lips and smiled: "No, maybe the emperor already knows that the post man who ran over on the horse just now is not the emperor's eyeliner." ”

Gu Shengchao sighed and said, "Then forget it, I still handle official affairs honestly." ”

The two of them slept all the way, and successfully left the Dawu Dynasty to the territory of Xileng, and first arrived at Huaming City.

Gu Shengchao had already been here once, and he drove the carriage past the Chamber of Commerce run by Chen Qi. The Chamber of Commerce has been empty, and most of the paint has fallen off, leaving only the outline of the outline.

No one repaired it, and the low wall, half of which was made of rammed earth, collapsed.

From time to time, there was a "bleating" sound of a lamb in the yard, and it seemed that someone was grazing inside.

Gu Shengchao left in a state of sorrow.

Out of Huaming City, there are still three days to reach the next town, and there is no inn to rest on the way.

Gu Shengchao and Wan Yanxi discussed that they would rest here for one night and buy enough food to go on the road tomorrow.

Huaming City is not big, it is winter at the moment, and there are fewer and fewer business trips, so it stands to reason that the inn business is the off-season.

But the two inquired a few times, but they were all full, and there was only one room left in the last inn, so they had to make do with it.

This room is remote, in the innermost part of the upstairs corridor, small in size and without windows, perhaps for this reason it remains.

The two have lived in a grassland cave, and Wan Yanxi doesn't mind a lonely man and a widow living in the same room.

Gu Shengchao went to the market first to buy the things he needed, and after dinner, he originally planned to sleep on the floor, but Wan Yanxi said: "Brother Gu is polite, if you don't sleep on the bed, I will sleep on the floor with you." ”

This was a difficulty, Gu Shengchao knew that she did what she said, and when she saw that she really got out of bed with the futon, she had to say: "Okay, I listen to you, just sleep on the bed." ”

The two lay next to each other in their kimonos, sleeping until the middle of the night, when there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the corridor outside, and they went downstairs one after another and did not know where to go.

Someone knocked lightly on the door: "Brother, it's all gone, hurry up and deal with that one-armed hero." ”

Seeing that no one responded, the man said, "Brother, don't sleep." ”

At this time, a person came next to him and laughed at him: "You, you have big eyes, this room is not our people, it seems to be a couple." ”

"yes, how did I not know?" The man will be skeptical.

"If you don't say you're blind, let's go quickly, it's too late to go to Tianqing Gongzi to blame." Another person reminded.

The two walked out of the hallway.

"I've never heard of that one-armed hero before."

"I don't know, it seems to appear out of thin air, it is said that the surname is Zhuang, and a big knife in his left hand is haunting, hurting many of our brothers, and the son is designed to capture him alive."

"It's more convenient to kill directly, and you have to make these troubles."

"Childe arranges it, let's just do it, where is this complaining."

The two drifted apart, and when they went downstairs, they couldn't hear a sound.

Gu Shengchao was shocked when he heard it.

The surname is Zhuang, and the one-armed left-handed knife is not Zhuang Lutao who taught him meridian retrograde kung fu?

Zhuang Lutao devoted himself to solving problems for his clansmen, and Gu Shengchao passed on his phoenix dance swordsmanship, how could he come here?

All kinds of questions bothered him, Gu Shengchao turned around, and woke up after listening to Yan Xi's breath, and said: "Sister Wanyan waits patiently, there seems to be my old friend outside, I will come when I go." ”

"Brother Gu be careful, I can handle it alone." Wan Yanxi told him.

Gu Shengchao heard that there was no one in the corridor outside, opened the door and quietly went downstairs, walked out of the inn, and saw twenty or thirty people gathered together in front of him, each holding a sword and not knowing where to go.

Following far behind, Gu Shengchao hid in the bushes to prevent them from discovering it.

Walking out of Huaming City, I saw a big high platform not far away, which seemed cold and solemn at night.

Gu Shengchao understood that it was a place used by the locals to bury the dead, and now it was winter, and the black strange birds flew to a warm place, and they would not return until the beginning of spring next year.

There was only a vague figure on the empty platform, and the group from the inn and the others who had joined together were hiding in the nearby bushes, silent.

They passed ropes in their hands, and they couldn't see clearly in the twilight.

Fortunately, Gu Shengchao's eyes were keen, and he could vaguely distinguish that those ropes seemed to be connected to fishing nets, but now that the black strange birds had flown away, what was the use of these fishing nets.
