Gu Qiying, after all, guarded against this sword.
The moment before the sword hit him, he raised his right arm to block and deflected the sword's path.
Although his arm received a cut that cut deep into the bone, at least there was only a not very deep gash on the side of his neck.
His life was saved, but he lost this round of confrontation.
Because Gu Qiying did not rely on his own judgment to prevent the sword, but relied on instinct; it was the instinct of fear and years of combat experience that made his body move on its own, protecting the fatal vital point.
Regardless of skill and experience, just in terms of moves, Lin Yuancheng's move made Gu Qiying feel inferior.
There were many swordsmen in the world, but there were only two swordsmen that Gu Qiying could take heart to, and today... there was one more.
"There is such a person among the younger generation..." Gu Qiying guided the Gu in his body to stop the bleeding, while looking back at Lin Yuancheng who was already in the wrong body with him, and thought to himself, "I have always looked at myself in vain. Very high. It turned out that I was just sitting in a well and looking at the sky. I didn’t expect that there is such a person in this world who is born for the sword and whose destiny is destined..."
He was still sighing in his heart, but Yun Shili was already killing him from another direction.
Feilong Chengyun, Yunluo Tianwang, Qingyun Wanli... The three moves of the Huanyun Sword are executed in succession, each move is progressive, and the power is overwhelming.
Seeing the situation, Gu Qiying gave a deep shout. He first took a single step and made a double shadow. Then he made a move of phoenix spreading its wings and unleashing a wave of palm power.
With his strong internal energy, he faced the sword and faced Yun Shili tit for tat.
The two of them fought to a certain point, the swords came and went, the internal energy rushed, and in an instant, countless ridges and cracks were torn out on the surrounding ground.
In this case, it is difficult for others to get close to them. Just standing within five meters of them may be accidentally injured or even killed.
However, there are still people who will get involved.
As long as your martial arts skills are good enough or you are lucky enough, you can ignore those things.
Besides, Gu Qiying is not so scary at this time...
By this time, the experts who were almost first-class or above had already figured out where Gu Qiying's upper limit was. No matter how strong he was at his peak, he was not strong enough now.
Internal injuries have a great impact on people. To use specific numbers as an example, it is like your peak combat power is 1,000, but after suffering internal injuries, it becomes 900. However, this does not mean that the impact of internal injuries on you is the same. It's just a reduction of 100 combat power. In fact, it should be counted as a reduction of 10%.
As the battle progresses, your internal strength continues to be consumed, and the impact of internal injuries continues to increase, so your combat power itself slowly decreases from 1,000 to 900, 800, 700...and your internal injuries are based on this. , and the combat power is reduced by 10%, 11%, 12% of 1000...
The internal strength of the top masters should be very abundant, not to mention inexhaustible, but at least every time the Xiao Zhou Tian in their bodies runs (it is generally believed that they take one round of breathing with the unique breathing method of their own internal skills). , for a Zhou Tian), the internal power generated is quite amazing. As long as their physical strength is not exhausted, it is basically unlikely that the internal power will be exhausted.
But at this moment, Gu Qiying's physical strength has not yet been exhausted, but her internal strength has bottomed out.
With every breath he takes now, he can feel that the internal energy he generates is decreasing, and his internal energy is running less smoothly in his meridians. All the injuries and burdens are accumulating like a snowball.
Even though he had gritted his teeth and gained momentum before, this kind of bluff maintained by overdraft would undoubtedly come with a price...
Now that he has been defeated, many people have seen that he is at the end of his strength, so they all want to get a share of the pie; even if they cut him with a knife or scratch his skin, it will be regarded as a share of the credit, which can be used as bragging rights in the future.
"He is dying! Everyone, come together! Kill him!"
Just when Yun Shili was gradually gaining the upper hand, someone among the besiegers suddenly shouted.
These words won the hearts of everyone, and the righteous high-level bosses immediately became energetic and swarmed forward, with fists, feet, and swords coming out.
In one moment, Gu Qiying was struck by more than ten blows in a row, including punching, slashing, whittling, slashing, and chopping. He had eaten them all.
No matter how strong his body is and how amazing its self-healing power is, it can no longer keep up with the speed of this kind of injury.
However, he still stood firm, and with a loud shout, he used his last breath of Dantian Qi to shake away the people who gathered around him, sending them flying several feet away and causing them to flip over.
Even Yun Shili was forced back several steps by Gu Qiying's explosive blow, and he stumbled a few times before he could stand firm.
But at this time, Lin Yuancheng in the crowd... had already turned around and walked away.
Because for him, there is nothing left to see next.
What he wanted to see was a contest of skills between masters, not dozens of people surrounding a dying man.
If the latter can learn the essence of martial arts, then Lin Yuancheng doesn't need to learn martial arts. He can just go to the fish market every day and watch the bullies grab territory.
Of course, he also gained something tonight - when he saw the Huanyun Sword Technique earlier, he suddenly realized a sword move.
It was the same technique he used on Gu Qiying before.
Just now, Lin Yuancheng attacked Gu Qiying from the front, for no other reason than to actually use the sword moves he had just learned while the inspiration was still there.
As for your question, isn't he afraid of trying his own death when he uses a top master like Gu Qiying to try out new tricks? Then I can only say that at that moment, he really didn’t think too much...
Compared with things like life and death, he was more concerned about the fleeting inspiration about sword moves that would fade and disperse.
A peerless swordsman should be like this.
"Ha... You guys... want to kill me?" On the other hand, Gu Qiying, whose face was already covered in blood, laughed again, "You guys... are worthy enough to kill me!" But The second half of his sentence was an angry roar.
Before he finished speaking, suddenly!
Gu Qiying turned around and rushed towards the north, that is, the direction of the Tianqi Gang's gate.
"He's going to run!"
"Don't let him get away!"
"Stop him!"
Those who shouted such words were the people to the side and rear of Gu Qiying.
As for the people on his charge route, all they were thinking was: This guy might be trying to drag people to death together, so don’t drag me along with him.
Of course, Gu Qiying couldn't run away. When he made such an action of burying his head and rushing forward, it meant that the door behind him was wide open. Those who specialize in using hidden weapons, or those who can use hidden weapons, would not I will miss this opportunity.
Puff puff puff...
In just one breath, more than a dozen hidden weapons of different shapes and sizes had pierced Gu Qiying's back.
But Gu Qiying showed no sign of stopping. He ran forward like a wild bull, using the wind of his two palms to clear the way. Those on his path did not dare to block him, and they could not block him at all. They could only retreat to both sides...
Soon, Gu Qiying came to the south gate of Tianqi Gang.
At this time, the originally grand and thick door had been blackened by the flames, and the courtyard inside the door was a sea of fire, with thick smoke and fire rising into the sky.
Gu Qiying, whose body was riddled with holes, came to the door without slowing down, roaring and crashing into the door.
Immediately afterwards, a "bang" was heard, the door panel shattered, and Gu Qiying rushed into the sea of fire.
"ah--"
The martial arts people who were chasing after him stood outside the fire scene and looked inside the door. All they saw was... In the firelight, his whole body was on fire. Gu Qi was dancing in the fire like a burning ghost and making a sound. A shrill roar.
This process lasted about thirty seconds.
Thirty long seconds...
Even many of the people who had just participated in killing him couldn't help but look at him with side eyes when they saw his miserable state at this moment.
In the end, Gu Qiying fell down, stopped moving, and stopped making any sound...
He and the "Tianqi Gang" were engulfed in the fire and turned into ashes.
What he never understood was that in fact, when Gu Qizong was buried in the fire twelve years ago, the Tianqi Gang had already died along with the gang leader.
And he and Shen Youran were just the shadows and ghosts of Gu Qizong, the shadows beneath the majestic figure of that generation of heroes.
It's not that the world cannot live without Gu Qizong, it's just that the two of them... cannot live without Gu Qizong.
…………
August 17, afternoon.
After most of the morning's finishing work, most of the open flames were finally put out.
Last night, the hundreds of Jin Yiwei called by Yun Shili did not help to encircle and suppress Gu Qiying. Instead, under his instructions, they ran to the east, west and north gates of the "Justice Gate" to organize the people to put out the fire. .
Facts also proved that his decision was correct.
If it weren't for these officials to take the lead and the people would have to rely on themselves, there's no telling what the fire would be like.
Let me mention it a little bit here - Dashu is relatively poor in firefighting technology.
What do you think was used to put out fires in ancient times? water?
This is indeed what is done in many TV dramas... I saw a large group of people collecting water in wooden buckets, passing the water out in small buckets from wells or water tanks, and spilling it first during the passing process. Half a bucket, and then handed it to someone standing at the edge of the fire, two meters away from the flames, and asked him to pour it in that direction...
What about playing?
Even in modern times, if a house of tens of square meters catches fire, it will take a certain amount of time to put it out with a high-pressure water gun; in Dasu, most houses are made of brick and wood structures, and there are many fire points and a large fire coverage area. At that time, the possibility of watering it out with a bucket was very small... This is why the imperial palace of the Zhao Dynasty was often struck by lightning and burned down a large area.
In that era, the most effective fire-fighting methods were actually "digging" and "demolition."
To put it bluntly, it means digging trenches around the fire scene, setting up fire prevention lines, and then quickly demolishing the flammable wooden houses, thatch sheds, etc. that are connected to the fire scene. If necessary, bury them with sand, and then immediately put them there. Trenches were also dug around the edges of the ruins...
When everything inside the fire line is burned out and the fire does not spread, the fire will naturally go out after a while.
However, it is difficult for ordinary people to accomplish these things without anyone's organization and command. Therefore, many large fires at that time burned for more than ten hours and burned out several streets. , or it may be extinguished only when it happens to rain.
That night, the people of Luoyang City were lucky. Although the Zhengyi Gate was large, it was surrounded by walls. Outside the walls were streets and there were no residential buildings connected to them. After the Jin Yiwei arrived, the fire was relatively intense. It was successfully controlled within the range of the main rudder, and it was burned out by the morning.
As for the fire in another place in the city, that is, the fire on the No-Return Building, it was okay, because there was only one fire point there, so the fire was put out before it burned out of the No-Return Building... If the fire was really big there , I'm afraid two or three streets will suffer.
At this point, the conspiracy instigated by Shen Youran and Gu Qiying and carried out through the quadrennial "Young Heroes Meeting" has finally come to an end.
As for Shen Youran's death, Sun and Huang also told their colleagues in the world. With Chunkong and Liu Yikong testifying, no one suspected that they had made it up. But who took Shen Youran's head... ...It is still a mystery to these martial arts righteousness.
As for the "Bliss Gu"... Actually, it's not something difficult to understand if you know how to understand it.
There is something called "Baicao Shuang", also known as "Ashes under the Moon" and "Ink under the Cauldron", which is the smoke and ink attached to the bottom of the pot or the chimney after burning weeds. Use this with extremely spicy chili peppers , the type is not limited, the spicier the better, then take it with ginger soup as a guide. A moment and a half after drinking, while these things are still in the stomach, get a knife with a very wide blade or some other iron tool, polish the surface until it is shiny, and then use your fingernails on it. Scratching back and forth... If you can make the same sound as nails scratching across a blackboard or glass, you are considered a success.
If you still don't know if you did it right, remember - as long as you feel uncomfortable and your scalp is numb when you hear that sound, you have done it right.
Using the above method twice a day, morning and evening, for three days, you can eliminate all the Bliss Gu in your body. Of course, if you are worried... you can also extend it to five or ten days.
This method of undoing the poison seems quite inexplicable to people of this era, but Huang Donglai can understand it, because the principle of the bliss poison is similar to a "resonance" effect of a specific frequency, so it has nothing to do with the person's own body. Hearing doesn't matter much; the current method of killing Gu insects is also related to making sounds of specific frequencies, which makes sense.
…………
By the evening of that day, half of the remaining more than 100 martial arts people had left Luoyang City in a hurry.
Of course they were all in a hurry.
Not to mention that Luoyang is a place of trouble and wrong, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time. The key is that such a big thing happened, and they must go back as soon as possible to report it to the door.
Furthermore, many sects died in the battle that besieged and killed Gu Qiying, and those who were still alive had to rush back with the bodies of their fellow sects to report the funeral; but what about those who had a long way to return and could not make it back in a short time? , we can only find a coffin shop in Luoyang, first put up the body of our fellow coffin, and then Fei Ge sends a letter to report the matter to the head, who will then decide how to deal with it.
In addition, there are still some people who haven't left...mostly because they have doubts about the method of removing the poison provided by Huang Donglai, so they stayed.
Although they all understood that Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were their saviors and there was no need to lie to them, because this method of undoing the poison was indeed too weird, they were all worried that Huang Donglai had misunderstood or was deceived.
Therefore, those who stayed decided to stay in Luoyang for three to five days and strictly follow the method mentioned by Huang Donglai every day. After five days, Huang Donglai was asked to use the Gu bell again in front of them to see if the Gu was poisonous. Really solve it before leaving.
And if that method doesn't work, they can quickly think of other methods.
Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie didn't mind them doing this. After all, it was a matter of life and death, so it was always right to be cautious.
Besides, they couldn't leave in the first place.
On the afternoon of August 17, they were invited to the Yamen by two "adults", Yun Shili and Shui Hanyi, who said they had "important matters" to discuss with them.
