It is difficult to find two people who are willing to learn the ruthless swordsmanship, Chu Nanping is eleven years old, and three years ago he replaced his brother as the attendant of the Peng Immortals, and learned the basic skills of the "Investigation Secrets", and only passed the test a year ago and became the first candidate for the ruthless swordsmanship.

waited for a year before meeting the killer Yang Huan.

There are many cruel and cold-blooded killers in the stone castle, and the southern city is also full of swordsmen who kill people without blinking, but none of them meet the "ruthless" trait.

"The ruthless kill, not the thirst for killing. Chu Nanping, who was several years younger than Gu Shenwei, explained seriously, "Since you are ruthless, you will naturally be ruthless in killing, but you will not be excited or happy about killing." To be ruthless is to be emotionless. ”

Gu Shenwei has killed many people for various reasons, but he has never been addicted to it, he hates blood, this "shortcoming" has never been corrected, but he does not admit that he is "emotionless", he will also be angry and sad, especially to avenge his relatives, this is different from Chu Nanping, this child is indifferent to the death of his brother.

"You're just a rough embryo, and you need to think about cutting it. Chu Nanping said this like a little sage who had already attained the Tao and ascended to immortality.

The first step in Gu Shenwei's "pondering and cutting" is to learn to drink tea.

The first floor of the proud building is a teahouse, in fact, it is never open to the public, Gu Shenwei and more than 30 ugly-looking "fellow doors" sit at each table, each person has a cup of tea with a very strong color in front of him, sip in small sips, drink a cup in an hour, and immediately have a guy to refill it, and drink three to six cups a day.

The tea was very bitter, and Gu Shenwei almost spit it out when he took the first sip, but this was part of the content of the martial arts practice, and he had to drink it, not even the dregs were left, and he had to take each sip in his mouth for a while, and he didn't swallow it until the bitterness subsided.

Once you get used to the bitter taste, everything becomes different.

It seems that a bucket of hot water at the right temperature is slowly poured from the top of the head, and the whole body becomes soft and elegant, as if as long as you exhale a breath, you can fly into the air, and the nervous heart involuntarily relaxes.

He was ready to accept all the teachings, no questioning, no timidity, no matter what anyone said, he would believe, and at last he heard the heavenly tapping.

The percussion sound is extremely monotonous and faint, coming from upstairs, and you have to listen intently to feel it, and the intervals are unequal, and it seems to have a special rhythm, with a dozen beats per hour and a hundred beats at most.

The first time he heard the sound of percussion, Gu Shenwei's heart jumped violently, his face was as red as blood, and he almost fell off the chair, there is a set of luck methods in "The Secret of Investigation", Chu Nanping pointed out that it was a necessary kung fu for drinking tea, and he didn't quite understand it, so it ran like this, and sure enough, the heartbeat returned to normal.

Gu Shenwei drank tea for three days before he touched a deeper doorway, and the knocking sound was made by Peng Xianren on the third floor on the floor with a cane, for outsiders, it was just a meaningless light sound, and he couldn't even notice it, but it was a hint to the disciples who were drinking tea, and with the light sound, a certain acupoint in the body would suddenly jump.

After the heartbeat was able to keep up with the rhythm of the percussion, Gu Shenwei entered the realm of jumping acupoints.

The acupuncture point that Gu Shenwei felt beating for the first time was the Shaochong acupoint on his fingers, and he jumped ten times in a row, and then followed the Shaoyin Heart Sutra all the way up, the number of beats of each acupuncture point was different, as little as three or four times, and as many as dozens of times, after the beating was completed, he would feel that the pores were dilated, and the qi and blood were surging, as if the acupuncture points had changed from a pond to a lake, and the meridians had expanded from a stream to a river.

Gu Shenwei had never heard of this way of cultivating internal strength, and he was both curious and faintly feeling a little uneasy, as if a vine was crawling down the wall from the third floor, walking at the feet of everyone, climbing around the table legs, and finally reaching out his tentacles and burrowing into the hearts of tea drinkers.

Since that face-to-face conversation, Gu Shenwei hadn't seen Peng Xianren again, but as the "Investigation Secrets" progressed, he felt that he had developed some kind of connection with the dwarf, and the vine was getting thicker and thicker, and it would be more and more difficult to cut it down.

Whenever uneasiness arises, the pleasure brought by bitter tea will spread throughout the body, washing away this little distraction.

Gu Shenwei is like a disheartened misanthropy, watching himself step by step towards the deep water with an indifferent attitude, knowing that danger is imminent, but he has no enthusiasm to save himself.

Gu Shenwei spent five days to get through the Hand Shao Yin Heart Sutra, according to Chu Nanping, this is relatively fast, followed by the Hand Shao Yang Sanjiao Sutra, faster, it only took three days, and then the Zu Shao Yin and Kidney Sutra was slow, it took eight days, and then it was like a bamboo, and within a month, the twelve canons were all smooth.

Then there are the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, starting from the Yang stilt vein, and finally supervising the vein, which took half a month.

The eight veins of the Qi Jing are connected with the twelve meridians, and after they are opened, they form the Great Zhou Tian, and the internal breath flows between the acupoints without hindrance, except for the two acupoints, Baihui and Xuanji, these two acupuncture points that were invaded by the eight desolation finger forces, were not excited by the percussion sound of Peng Xianren, and there was no reaction, only with basic skills, there was no way to remove the hidden dangers.

Time passed, Gu Shenwei was immersed in the fragrance of bitter tea, and even a little addicted, and he would feel restless if he didn't drink it for a day.

In fact, this exercise does not mean much to him, the Eight Desolation Finger Force restricts the increase of internal strength, and he has already practiced Hehe Jin through the Quick Method, and it is all possible to terminate the improvement of strength, however, the smooth meridians are very helpful to the operation of internal breath, just like the same horse, running faster on a flat and wide road, Gu Shenwei felt that his reaction was more heartfelt than before.

In particular, the feeling of the light beating of the acupuncture points was so wonderful, Gu Shenwei was experiencing a rebirth, even if it was useless, he did not want to stop.

The tea drinking kung fu is endless, and after all the acupuncture points are opened, they will do it all over again, in short, to build the "road" wider.

Drinking tea is only one of the basic skills, and in other times, Gu Shenwei wants to learn light skills from Chu Nanping.

"The Secret of Investigation" ruthless swordsmanship has seven realms, the first is "people are lighter than swords", light skills are therefore extremely important, Chu Nanping has already done this step, in the peach forest behind the proud building, he can run a lap without sticking.

Harmony Jin is not suitable for practicing light exercises, Gu Shenwei's progress is quite slow, the first month, he is like a clumsy bear chasing a lightly jumping rabbit, and every time he gets is Chu Nanping's contempt.

This made Gu Shenwei feel very unfair, his internal strength was far stronger than that of this ruthless child, with deep roots, but the branches and leaves were not lush.

It wasn't until the yang and yin veins, which dominate the qi and blood of the lower limbs, were opened up that he advanced by leaps and bounds, and he was soon able to go hand in hand with Chu Nanping, and even slightly ahead.

The second realm of ruthless swordsmanship is "the sword is heavier than the mountain", the general martial arts pursuit is to lift weights as light, this set of swordsmanship is just the opposite, to achieve is to lift lightly if heavy, Chu Nanping himself is also groping, two "ruthless people" finally converged, can study swordsmanship together.

Time passed, Gu Shenwei almost didn't feel it, he forgot about the infighting between the twins and the Shangguan family, forgot to go to see the lotus girl, and didn't even notice that the strange part of the "Book of the Dead" had been written, and he was handing over the core part of the sword spectrum.

Occasionally, he would remember that it was just a transaction, and that he had come here for some other purpose, and at that time, he would remain calm for a short time, observing the Proud Mansion and discovering many hidden secrets.

The person in charge of the teahouse was a man in his thirties, his face was often smeared with thick fat powder, and he had a pair of naturally melancholy eyes.

Tang Ji and his men did not know martial arts, and their duties were to make sencha, serve tea, and receive guests who came to tell fortunes.

Peng Xianren relied on his fame not for martial arts, but for the admirable fortune-telling, he told fortunes for fifteen people every day, and the seeker had to make an appointment in advance, and when the appointed day came, he sat on the second floor and waited, maybe he was summoned immediately, or he could wait until dark.

The fortune teller is Peng Xianren, but it is those puppets who speak, many people do not know this, thinking that it is the living immortal himself who speaks to him, and after leaving Wangcheng Lane, he will swear to describe the appearance of the immortal to outsiders, and as a result, there are different opinions, which adds a layer of mystery to the proud building.

It was from the process of fortune-telling that Gu Shenwei slowly figured out the details of Peng Xianren, who was a top master who was good at hypnosis, not only able to use his disciples to speak, but also to make the people who came to ask for his life talk endlessly, inadvertently telling his past and future wishes, and this is how the reputation of "Living Immortals" came from.

Drinking tea to practice internal skills is also related to hypnosis, and those bitter teas can make the drinker fall into a state of excitement and confusion, making it easier to accept the control of Peng Xianren.

Discovering this, Gu Shenwei became vigilant, afraid that in the end, he would unknowingly become a loyal puppet under Peng Xianren.

This kind of worry seems to be superfluous, although Gu Shenwei drank tea in the proud building, he was never called to the third floor to speak for Peng Xianren, and the disciples in the building came and went freely, like Ye Shilang left here very early, pretending to return from wandering the world, and became famous in Biyu City, although the proud building did not help him when he was in danger, but he never exposed the facts.

Among those strange-looking disciples, there were some of them who had been disguised and modified, and Gu Shenwei didn't know their true faces until the end.

Gu Shenwei completely believed in this deal, and felt that it was a good deal, he believed that sooner or later, the two acupoints of Baihui and Xuanji would also dance with the sound of percussion, so as to clear the two long-entrenched Eight Desolation Finger Forces, as for the ruthless sword cultivator who would eventually die one, he didn't even think much about it.

Gu Shenwei had already been trapped in the net and had given up struggling, that was his plan at the beginning, and now, he needed a strong awakening.
