Gu Xiao dodged the broken tree trunk in the air like a spinning top. After landing, he found that the bearded man had emerged from the snowdrift and threw the broken tree at him. Fortunately, after entering the hall realm, Gu Xiao's perception changed. Strong, Gu Xiao looked at the bearded man with lingering fear. He could be so strong without cultivating his internal strength.
Gu Xiao thought to himself that the matter of rescuing people could not be delayed any longer. Looking at the posture of the bearded man, he felt that if he did not get away as soon as possible, this man would probably continue to be entangled with him.
Gu Xiao looked at the invisible carriage, made up his mind, pretended to reach into his arms, and then swung it towards the bearded man in the air, shouting: "Look at the hidden weapon."
The big man saw the hand that Gu Xiao took out from his arms and swung it towards him in the air. He also heard the young man in Tsing Yi shouting "hidden weapon". The big man still used the Thousand Jin Pendant and used his external power to prepare to resist the hidden weapon.
But after a few breaths of shouting, the young man in Tsing Yi still couldn't see where the hidden weapon was. The big man looked at where the young man in Tsing Yi was standing. There was still the figure of the young man there, and he saw only a streak of green and black in the distance. I am getting further and further away.
"You cunning boy." The big man said angrily and gave chase.
Gu Xiao made a "sound to the east and struck to the west", took up the snow and headed towards Liangzhou City.
Looking back, he saw this big man running wildly in the snow, chasing him. Gu Xiao didn't want to get entangled with him anymore, so he moved his dantian to the extreme, and his body looked like an eagle looking for food in the snow. For a few seconds, In a moment, he threw the bearded man far away.
After about an hour of burning incense, Gu Xiao could no longer see the figure of the big man. He saw a forest in front of him. Gu Xiao took another step on the snow and jumped onto the snow-covered treetops. He adjusted his inner breath in his chest and prepared to rest. Ichiban went to chase Lao Li's carriage again.
Gu Xiao tried his best to adjust his breathing on the treetops, and at the same time looked into the distance, trying to find traces of the carriage, but there was no trace at all in this white snow. Gu Xiao secretly said: "With my just strength, I should be able to catch up. Why is there no trace? Forget it, let’s go to the city gate to meet Uncle Li first.”
Having made up his mind, Gu Xiao was about to continue on his way when he heard rustling in the woods. He looked down and saw the bearded man walking through the woods and chasing him to the woods where Gu Xiao was living. He was looking around. It seems that he is searching for himself.
Gu Xiao was surprised. He didn't expect that he could throw away the opponent with light kung fu. This big man was practicing external kung fu. How did he know where he was and how he found him.
Gu Xiao did not use Qing Kung again to throw the opponent away, but held his breath and observed the actions of the big man under the tree from the treetop.
I saw a big man with a beard pacing back and forth in the woods at Gu Xiao's feet. From time to time he would press his cheek against the snow, grab the snow on the ground and stuff it into his mouth. Then he said to himself: "How did this boy's traces end up here?" But it disappeared, it’s impossible.”
Gu Xiao, who was on the tree, suddenly remembered that his master had told him that there was a lost tracking technique, which was one of the secret techniques of the shadow guards of the former Zhao Kingdom.
To practice this tracking technique, a martial arts master needs to inject silver needles into the practitioner's internal energy since childhood to improve the practitioner's hearing and taste.
Those who have mastered the art of tracking can find the location of the person being tracked by listening to the wind and tasting the soil. However, it is precisely because of the internal force pouring into the acupuncture points with silver needles that the meridians of the practitioner will be destroyed. Therefore, all practitioners Anyone who practices tracking techniques cannot practice internal skills.
Therefore, after becoming Shadow Guards, most of these people will learn external skills to defend against enemies. Thinking of this, Gu Xiao seemed to understand that this tracking technique was used by the bearded man to track down his whereabouts.
Gu Xiao had a headache on the tree. If he used Qing Kung to leave at this moment, the movement would definitely attract the attention of the people under the tree. This big man would probably still chase him all the way with tracking skills. He had no grudge against him. I don't want to kill him. Just as Gu Xiao was thinking hard about how to get rid of the big man, the big man under the tree seemed to have thought of something. He raised his head and immediately spotted Gu Xiao hiding on the treetops.
"Not good." Gu Xiao said secretly, and hurriedly stepped on the treetops to get up.
Just when Gu Xiao took advantage of his strength to fly into the air, the big man with a curly beard rushed to the foot of the tree and slapped the tree trunk with a palm the size of a cattail leaf fan.
The power of the big man's palm was so powerful that it directly broke the snow-covered tree. Gu Xiao flipped in the air and landed on the ground. He looked at the big man and said helplessly: "You rude man, how can you be so persistent and insist on stopping me?" , I saw you in the foot shop, you are not like Mr. Liu's lackey, if you insist on stopping me from rescuing people again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Boy, don't talk nonsense. If you don't bother to chase the girl and Mr. Liu, I won't bother you anymore. You can go on your own." The bearded man looked up at the sky. It was still early for the appointment with the girl, so he said to Gu Xiao said.
When the big man said this, Gu Xiao became a little angry and said, "I'll just take care of this matter today."
After Gu Xiao finished speaking, he recalled that when he fought with the big man outside the foot shop just now, his palm hit him like pig iron. This big man must be practicing hard skills such as the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt. If he wants to break through this kind of hard bridge and hard horse skills, he must find his life gate and break the face. But I had only fought with him for a few rounds, and now I could only subdue this big man by forcing him to reveal his flaws and discovering the key to his hard skills.
Having made up his mind, Gu Xiao moved his luck to Dantian and used Tuxue Zhixun with his feet. He moved straight in front of the big man in an instant, but this time he stopped using his palm and pointed his sword out to attack the eyes of the bearded man.
Seeing Gu Xiao's attack, the big man no longer used his palms, but directly attacked his own hands. With a sneer, he still got down on his horse and stretched out his big hands to protect his eyes. He thought that if the fingers of the young man in green touched his palms, he would clasp the young man's fingers. He thought that this young man was also kind-hearted to save others. I still have to be merciful, I can't break the young man's fingers too hard, just make him unable to move, just don't stop the girl.
When Gu Xiao saw the opponent protecting his eyes with his palms, he knew that he had succeeded in feinting, and his fingers were about to touch the big man's palm.
Suddenly he changed his move, retracted his finger and turned around, and the other sword finger instantly came out, directly attacking the three points of Shanzhong, Jiuwei and Jique on the big man's chest. In an instant, these three acupoints of the big man had been hit by Gu Xiao's sword finger, but he saw that the big man remained motionless at this moment, making a circle with his palms and pushing towards Gu Xiao in front of him. Gu Xiao saw the big man pushing forward with his palms, leaned down to avoid it, and then used the sword fingers of both hands to attack the acupuncture points on the big man's waist and abdomen.
In an instant, the big man's Qihai, Guanyuan, and Zhongji acupoints were hit by the sword again. When the big man saw this kid in front of him, he was as difficult to deal with as a rabbit. He turned his palms inward and turned from pushing to grabbing, trying to catch Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao attacked six acupuncture points of the bearded man in an instant. Seeing that the man was still acting as usual, he couldn't help but said in his heart: "This person who has practiced tracking has been pricked with silver needles that have been filled with internal energy since he was a child. Naturally, he will not be afraid of himself." Attack with your sword." Just when he was thinking about trying to attack other acupuncture points of the big man, he saw the big man grabbing his palms.
Gu Xiao tapped his toes, turned over, dodged the big man's grasp, and kicked the big man in the ribs. This kick just followed the trend, but it allowed Gu Xiao to find a way to break the move in the entanglement. The big man never dodged when fighting with Gu Xiao, but this unintentional kick made the big man sideways to dodge the move. Gu Xiao immediately turned over and pulled away several feet.
At this moment, Gu Xiao already understood that the life gate of this big man's outer sect must be at his side. Otherwise, in previous fights this time, this big man would not dodge his attacks. His unintentional kick just now must have been swept towards him. Only after hitting his vital point did the big man dodge the move.
The big man with a curly beard a few feet away, although he was still in the posture of riding a horse, was complaining in his heart. It would be fine if this boy fought against me, but he was like a loach and extremely slippery. I wanted to confront him head-on, but this kid just picked the acupuncture points on my body, but fortunately, I have been practicing secret techniques since I can remember.
The acupuncture points all over the body are not afraid of the kid's tricks, but that acupuncture point cannot be grasped by this kid. The big man with the curly beard thought, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at the Jiquan point under his armpit, but it was the slight movement of his eyes, But Gu Xiao saw it clearly.
"It turns out that your life gate is under your armpit." Gu Xiao said to himself. Just now, he had used his sword to sweep the acupuncture points, which finally exposed the flaw in the bearded man. Gu Xiao felt at ease at this moment. Immediately, he used Qinggong again and saw a green figure flashing in the snow. Gu Xiao stepped on the position of the Big Dipper and attacked the big man with curly beard again.
At this moment, the big man didn't know that his life gate had been discovered by Gu Xiao. When he saw this kid attacking him quickly, he moved his horse with strength, his upper body was slightly sideways, his palms moved forward and back, one index finger stood up, and the other four fingers were clasped inward. As he exhaled with a "ho" in his mouth, the muscles all over his body stretched out his single clothes, and he used the "Twelve Bridges of Pure Yang Ding" in the outer martial arts to "one designated country".
Seeing Gu Xiao attacking in front of him, the big man crossed his palms in front of his chest and pushed Gu Xiao's kick. Then he used his arms to push Gu Xiao into the air. With both palms in a "fixed" position, he pushed Gu Xiao's chest sharply. .
Gu Xiao's move was to lure the big man to use his palms. When he saw the big man's palms coming out, Gu Xiao turned over in the air, avoided the big man's palms, landed on the ground and bent down, hitting the ground with the force of his palms. His whole body was like an arrow leaving the string, and the sword pointed out and struck directly. The man’s armpit is located at the vital gate.
The big man's skill is to use hard bridges and hard horses. Gu Xiao's body is so fast that the big man can't move to protect his armpits. Under this sudden change of moves, Gu Xiao hits the target with one blow, and the big man's armpit is hit by the Jiquan point. , his feet suddenly became unstable and he took several steps back.
Gu Xiao succeeded with one strike and kept attacking. He touched the water with his feet and came out again. He got close to the big man's retreating figure. After a few more attacks on the big man's chest, Yun Zongzhi came out and the wind swept his body. Retreat a few feet away.
At this time, the big man no longer had the calmness he had when fighting before. He was hit in the back of his armpit by one blow, and received several strikes from Gu Xiao in front of his chest. At this moment, he had taken more than ten steps back, kneeling on one knee in the snow, gasping for breath. Sighing heavily, he managed to hold the ground with one hand to prevent himself from falling.
"I am defeated. If you want to kill or behead him, please do as you please." The big man stared at Gu Xiao and said.
Gu Xiao had no intention of taking the big man's life, so he still saved a lot of energy when he made the move. Seeing that the big man was not afraid of life and death, he became more sure of his guess, so he said: "Rang, I still say what I said, whether you want to You are like Mr. Liu's lackey, but you have repeatedly stopped me from chasing that girl. Just now I was walking all the way, and I always felt that something was wrong. Let me guess, that girl Lin'er is dressed luxuriously, and she doesn't seem to live here. She belongs to a foot shop, but she happened to appear in this foot shop, and she was so calm in the face of those thugs, so she must have already thought of a plan to deal with it. "
"Humph." The big man snorted coldly and did not answer.
Seeing that the big man ignored him, Gu Xiao continued: "I think about it carefully. Just now, I jumped up to where you were sitting in the foot shop, which was exactly where the door of Miss Lin'er's room was. If I expected it, it was true. , you are the one who protects that girl, you have been waiting for Mr. Liu and his party in this foot shop for a long time, yes or no."
