Chi Chengzi said seriously: "Have you ever heard of an anecdote? It is said that there was a fat monk here in the capital who uprooted a weeping willow tree with one hand and was said to have divine power."
"Have not heard."
"Actually, that weeping willow tree has a withered heart. It is empty inside. It looks normal on the outside, but it rises up as soon as it is pulled out." Chi Chengzi said, "So to kill a person, you don't necessarily have to end his life all at once. "
"you mean……"
"It only takes a little at a time, a little at a time, and the person will slowly wither. When the time is right, just a gentle push will make him thin and exhausted."
Yun Kong understood: "This is called destroying the dead."
He touched his chest, the feeling of exhaustion from last night still lingered.
He inexplicably remembered the storyteller's words: "The secret plot is impermanent and you don't know how to die..." He was warned before he even entered the city.
Looking back, I have stayed in Yufu for many days, but I haven't seen Gao Lu yet.
Now he doesn't want to see Gao Lu even more.
"Then what are you waiting for this month in Yufu?"
Chi Chengzi snorted: "Wait? Just wait for him to show his weakness."
※※※
In the entire Yu family mansion, everyone's face was covered with a layer of blackness.
They always sleep with drowsy eyes and weak limbs.
On the contrary, Gao Lu's rosy face looked full of energy in the sunshine. Under his thick eyebrows, he had big copper bell-like eyes, looking greedily at a servant girl.
He could tell that the girl under his name was almost there.
Just take a little more gently...
He approached her quietly and was very happy to see the woman's steps were floating and her head was shaking in a daze.
He touched the woman lightly with his finger.
The servant girl didn't scream, her eyes turned white, and she fell to the ground.
Gao Lu walked away calmly, preparing to have a good meal tonight.
He knew that the girl would inevitably be carried back to her room to rest.
As long as he thought of the pleasure after eating, he couldn't help but feel excited all over.
I remember that it was Tomoran's blessing that I was full for the first time.
Mo Lan was married to him under the arrangement of the master of the Yu family. It was common for male servants and servant girls to get married.
He doesn't have any feelings for Mo Lan, she's just a woman who lives with him anyway!
Since the death of Xiu Gu, the daughter of Master Longbi, he has never had the thought of falling in love with anyone else.
Ever since Chi Chengzi abolished his martial arts, he had nothing to pursue passionately.
His love for Xiu Gu could not be replaced by anyone; his hatred for Chi Chengzi could not be deeper than that.
Whenever he thought of Chi Chengzi, he would lie awake at night, tossing and turning in bed, immersed in fear, anxiety and uneasiness. Chi Chengzi's shadow would become more and more swollen and more ferocious, until it would swallow him whole. He hurriedly sat up and waited for dawn with his eyes open.
Until that person appears...
That person made him see another realm...
Gao Lu never thought that the sword art that he had guarded wholeheartedly before was only a small skill. It turned out that there was an "internal skill" that did not require the use of external force, and only relied on the true energy in the body to operate.
He first tried it on the person closest to him, and that was Mo Lan.
Mo Lan couldn't resist his move.
As soon as he held Mo Lan's hand, all the energy in Mo Lan's body was like a torrent pouring into Gao Lu's hand crazily. He couldn't stop it. It poured straight into his palm and poured into every part of his body, completely filling it up. Every meridian of Gaolu feeds every cell of Gaolu.
He didn't know how to control it at the time, and he was so panicked that he couldn't shake off Mo Lan's hand. He saw the light in Mo Lan's eyes disappear quickly, and his plump cheeks suddenly sunk.
It wasn't until the last bit of breath was exhausted that she was released, and now only the skeleton wrapped in skin was left, curled up in a pile on the ground.
Gao Lu was so excited that he couldn't help but gasp, and he wanted to laugh in his heart.
After eating a full meal, only the stomach is satisfied.
When you are full, your whole body will feel full.
He danced happily. He had never been so happy. It turned out that no matter what skills he practiced, what fame he gained, or what he accomplished, it was not as satisfying as having every cell in his body fed.
He couldn't forget the delicious taste.
He wanted to eat more.
He couldn't stop, so why should he? He greedily sucked in the breath of one person after another, and no one in the Yu family could figure out what happened.
Among the servants of the Yu Mansion, he was the only one who did not dare to touch the four servants who were close to him. He had tried to suck their breath before. Although he sucked in a little bit, they were very alert and it was not worth alarming, so he gave up. .
Until that night, when he went to inhale the scent of Ningxiang, he saw that the clouds had disappeared.
He was very surprised. This Taoist priest was a person he had almost forgotten!
Had it not been for this Taoist priest, would Chi Chengzi have been attracted? Will it make his martial arts completely useless?
He took the opportunity to inhale some of Yunkong's air, and was immediately overjoyed!
That kind of anger is indeed very different from the people in Yu Mansion!
The servants were tired from working every day, and their breath had a bitter taste. He had also tasted the Yu family master and his wife, and their breath was too fatty and not good enough.
But Yun Kong is a practicing person!
The air in the clouds has an elegant rosin scent, and when it enters the meridians, it gives off a refreshing coolness, which is extremely comfortable.
Tonight, he thought, tonight, let this meddling Taoist priest know the consequences of his meddling.
He will definitely stay by the side of the servant again, so let me kill two birds with one stone... Oh no, just suck the Taoist priest. As for the servant, it will be a matter of time anyway.
When he thought of this, Gao Lu was so excited that he wanted to dance.
This meal tonight must be the best meal he has ever had in his life!
In the past, he would slowly suck people dry bit by bit, which is called "destroying decay". Even a big tree like an iron pillar would fall down.
But this time, he planned to suck all the air out of Yun Kong in one go, just like Mo Lan did.
Because he felt very uneasy about the appearance of this Taoist priest, and he could not keep this man.
However, it's a pity to think about it. If I finish smoking it in one go, I don't know when I will encounter this kind of delicious food again.
※※※
The cemetery outside the city gate is a mass grave of hundreds of years. Even if the winter sun shines brightly, it cannot warm the air here.
Yunkong and Chi Chengzi accompanied the dead people on the ground and their buried and decayed past.
The memory of loneliness emanated from the graveyard, echoing around the clouds like threads, making him feel uncomfortable. He had the ability to read these old memories, but at the moment it was just disturbing him.
"Remember?" Chi Chengzi said, "My master and brothers all died due to poisoning while refining elixirs. Those who were poisoned by erysipelas either had ulcers all over their bodies or their bodies were incapacitated."
"If the body is not transformed, isn't it just about becoming a feather and ascending, taking off the body?"
"If this is really the case..." Chi Chengzi walked slowly and stopped in front of a slightly raised mound, "then this person has attained enlightenment and become an immortal."
Yunkong didn't know who was buried under the soil.
Chi Chengzi took a deep breath, and his face immediately turned red. He waved his sleeves, and the soil in front of his feet rolled away like waves on both sides, revealing a pothole.
There was a corpse huddled in the pit. The clothes on his body had rotted away, leaving only fragments of gauze that couldn't be put together.
The corpse had no hair, eyebrows, or beard, and its face had a silver-black luster and emitted a sour odor.
"Is it half-finished?" Yun Kong was greatly surprised and hurriedly moved forward to take a closer look.
"It's Ban Chengzi." He is Chi Chengzi's junior brother.
When Master Longbi poisoned three of his disciples, he just wanted to keep Chi Chengzi and pass all the books to him.
Unexpectedly, after Lian Chengzi and Xu Chengzi were poisoned according to the plan, Ban Chengzi only drank half a cup of gold liquid. Not only was there no poison, but he also attacked Chi Chengzi and Yun Kong and stole the books.
Unexpectedly, when he saw Ban Chengzi again, he would already be an "incarnated" corpse. Apparently, he later suffered from a poisonous attack.
"Have you found those books?"
"No."
"When you found Ban Chengzi, you didn't find the book?"
"I found Ban Chengzi because I followed Gao Lu and Gao Lu came to worship him."
※※※
Gao Lu pulled out a bag of books from under the bed and sighed in his heart: "Since the life-long efforts of the people on Longbi fell into my hands, if I had known this, why did I bother to stick to a book of sword techniques?"
What's more, Chi Chengzi and the others made a mistake. The sword art actually did not belong to the people on Longbi, and Gao Lu did not steal the sword art.
That sword art originally belonged to him.
When Gao Lu was young, the big ship he was riding in hit the rocks and sank in huge waves. He drifted with his suitcase in his arms. He was lucky enough to be washed to the shore and was taken home by a man from Longbi who went to the seaside to look for immortal sites.
That sword manual is the most precious memory of his hometown in his suitcase.
