Gu Shengchao couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he saw the four words "Iron Arm Magic".
You know, this is the Kung Fu passed down in his family. When he was a child, his father often mentioned it, but the housekeeper Zhao Yinhu killed his parents, and he never had the chance to practice it since then. He wondered how he could see him here again.
The wooden boards of the bookshelf were weathered and he did not dare to touch them, and he could not touch the paper books for fear that they would be damaged and never be restored to their original appearance.
He held up the fire folder and looked around, and found that this stone chamber originally had a door, which was carefully sealed with bluestone strips. There was also a wall with many words written on it. He carefully distinguished it and found that the three characters "Iron Arm Gate" were written at the beginning, followed by densely packed names. At the end, he saw a disciple named Gu, named Gu Bozhen.
Gu Shengchao remembered that his father once said that his ancestors were disciples of a certain sect. Because of the conflict between the two sects, they fought a decisive battle. After the failure, they were hunted down and had no choice but to hide in the countryside to make a living.
He heard it as a joke at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it must be true.
Gu Shengchao guessed that someone built two stone chambers at that time, with important materials stored below, in order to make a comeback, and the upper ones were empty, just to make the other party think that these were the ones below, thus protecting the lower ones. He thought that the Iron Arm Sect was destroyed after the decisive battle. The surviving disciples hid in Tibet, and the sect was abandoned and no one even knew about it.
Things in the world are unpredictable. Who would have expected that a descendant of a disciple would find this place? It can be regarded as a coincidence.
Since this was the sect of his ancestors, Ancient Sage Chao knelt down respectfully and kowtowed several times seriously to the stone wall with the names of the Iron Arm Sect disciples written on it.
He stood up and went to the bookshelf, and carefully picked up the "Iron Arm Magic". The bookshelf collapsed instantly when he was touched, and the books turned into dust together. Only this secret book survived because it was made of sheepskin.
Ancient Sage Chao took the secret book, jumped up on the spirit stone and said to Liu Ximei: "Come down, the detoxification on the spirit stone should be able to be completed in one go."
Liu Ximei has been learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. She is very clumsy when climbing up and down. She dared not move when her legs were stretched out, and her arms were not strong enough to get up. When trapped at the entrance of the cave, she would just helplessly shout: "No, I want to It fell."
In fact, the entrance of the cave was very close to the upper part of the neatly stacked spiritual stones. Liu Ximei could reach it with her toes if she went down a little bit. She couldn't see what was going on under her feet and felt panicked. Naturally, she was afraid.
Gu Shengchao had been waiting below for a long time. Seeing her flinching, he quickly hugged her legs and encouraged: "Let go of the top, and you are about to come down."
Someone was holding her up below, so Liu Ximei let go with confidence and smoothly slid down from the hole.
The two of them sat on the spiritual stone and worked hard. The abundant spiritual energy inspired everyone's inner vitality. In an instant, they forgot about fatigue and all the dissatisfactions, and concentrated on letting the spiritual energy enter the meridians and gather in the Dantian. The two couldn't help but blend together, and the pure Qi washed every corner of Liu Ximei's meridians, leaving the dirt with no place to hide and being excreted through the Ancient Sage Chao.
Gu Shengchao seemed to be sweating profusely and working very hard. With the help of these spiritual stones, he actually didn't work hard at all. After confirming that all the toxins in Liu Ximei were removed, Gu Shengchao began to focus on letting his pure energy flow into her Dantian bit by bit, allowing her internal strength to increase rapidly.
Liu Ximei never thought that one day he would be so powerful. When she reached the middle level of Yuanshen, she suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen, intense discomfort spread throughout her body, and cold sweat flowed down her cheeks.
Gu Shengchao also noticed her uncomfortable look and immediately stopped practicing. He supported her and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"It's nothing. It should be the body's instinctive reaction after suddenly absorbing too much zhenqi." Liu Ximei found that the practice stopped, and the inexplicable pain also disappeared.
Gu Shengchao thought about it. He had absorbed the pure energy of the spiritual fetus in Mengyou Villa, which caused him to become paralyzed and almost died. He did not dare to forcefully inject Qi into Liu Ximei. He absorbed all the spiritual energy from the spirit stones into his body, and then he and Liu Ximei left the stone room.
There was a cliff outside the stone room. Gu Shengchao got out first and stood still to wait. Liu Ximei then climbed out backwards. Gu Shengchao picked her up and walked swiftly on the cliff, successfully jumping to the top of the mountain.
At this moment, the sky is high and the clouds are wide, and the scenery is pleasant.
Liu Ximei pointed to the distant peaks and said in surprise: "It's so beautiful. It turns out that the paintings are all real. Look there, sir." Gu Shengchao looked in the direction of her finger and found no difference. Liu Ximei could see that his Confused, she explained: "Look at the clouds and peaks over there. They are high and low, have different shades, and are green. No matter how good a painter is, they can't depict such beautiful scenery." She looked at it with gusto, and Gu Shengchao only knew that it was indeed beautiful. , but can't tell where the beauty is.
The two of them walked down the mountain hand in hand and approached the town. Liu Ximei put on her mask and went to the clothing store to buy a brand new robe for Gu Shengchao. Liu Ximei's dress was also dirty, so she simply changed them into new ones.
Along the way, Liu Ximei felt refreshed and not tired at all. She was naturally satisfied and was as happy as a child when she returned to the inn room.
After dinner, Gu Shengchao sat under the lamp and carefully read the "Iron Arm Magic", thinking about and practicing the above skills while reading.
When Liu Ximei returned to the guest room, she took off her mask and boiled water and made tea with her. Seeing that he was fascinated, she wanted to ask several times but held back her silence.
Whenever there was something unclear in the book, the ancient sage struggled to understand its meaning, so he would stand up and walk back and forth in the room to think, or he would drink a few sips of tea to refresh himself. He also noticed Liu Ximei's hesitant look, and asked, "Does Miss Liu have anything to say?"
Liu Ximei smiled and said: "Although I don't know martial arts, I am also familiar with poetry and songs. Seeing that the young master is thinking hard, I wonder if I can be of some help?"
The words awakened the dreamer, and the ancient sage was very upset. He held up the book and showed it to Liu Ximei: "Why did I forget this matter? I just need your help. Look at the sentence 'I think it's better', which one is it? On top of which one?"
Liu Ximei considered the context and thought a little: "The first one means to go or arrive, the second one means the direction, referring to the next acupoint mentioned above, and the third one means good, which means good. This is the right thing to do. I am also very inexperienced, Sir, let’s take a look and see if that’s the case.”
Gu Shengchao followed Liu Ximei's explanation and said in surprise: "That's true, Miss Liu is so amazing."
Next, he simply gave the book to Liu Ximei to read from the beginning, and explained it to him while reading, for fear that he might have misunderstood something. It wasn't until the third watch in the middle of the night, when the watcher gradually moved away, that the two of them finished reading the secret book "The Magic Power of the Iron Arm".
Liu Ximei made the bed and said with concern: "Young Master has really worked hard to heal my wounds, so please rest early!"
Gu Shengchao shook his head and said: "I'm not tired. If Miss Liu is tired, she should rest early. The martial arts recorded in this book are my family's kung fu. I have to master it even if I have to stay up all night."
Liu Ximei was surprised: "I saw that the young master got this secret book from a stone chamber, so how come it has become a family heirloom? Is there any hidden secret in it?"
Gu Shengchao did not hide anything and told Liu Ximei all the twists and turns. He said: "I lived in the world when I was young. I have learned a lot and have no proficiency in kung fu. Recently, I have been given guidance by an expert, but I have not done anything without his permission. You cannot teach it to others casually. This 'Iron Arm Magic' and my original miscellaneous knowledge can be taught to girls. It is inevitable that you will encounter some disputes in the future, so self-protection should be no problem."
Of course Liu Ximei was happy and said excitedly: "That's good. I'm not sleepy anyway, so I'll practice with you."
The two of them practiced their own way, and it wasn't until the rooster sang that Gu Shengchao understood all the secrets in this book. He opened his eyes and looked, and Liu Ximei was already lying on his side on the ground and sleeping soundly. He went over and picked her up and put her on the bed. Just as he was about to get up, Liu Ximei hugged him and whispered softly in his ear: "Young Master, please sleep with me on the bed from now on. I know that Young Master is a good person and I wish you the best."
Gu Shengchao agreed after a little hesitation. The two of them were not so indifferent now that they were physically close, and they fell asleep hugging each other naturally.
It was already noon when they woke up. After washing up, they started walking slowly on the road. Walking and stopping along the way, most of the time was spent on cultivation. With the help of the ancient sage, Liu Ximei's internal strength reached the early stage of Nirvana. Both of them have basically mastered the "Iron Arm Magic". Liu Ximei is a beginner and is not very proficient. Gu Shengchao has a solid foundation and has made rapid progress. He is far more proficient than Liu Ximei. The ancient sage discovered that the Iron Arm Magic and the Nine Heavens Biluo Palm could be perfectly combined to greatly increase their power.
The only shortcoming of Iron Arm Magic is that everyone has an acupuncture point that cannot be protected no matter how hard you practice, and it becomes a fatal life gate. Gu Shengchao was more or less influenced by his family tradition. His life gate was still Tianshu point, and Liu Ximei was Qihai point.
Liu Ximei picked up "Iron Arm Magic" and read it in her spare time. Seeing that she liked it, the ancient sage gave this book to her for safekeeping.
Looking at the map, the two of them were getting closer and closer to the location marked by Mr. Xu from Wuyou Escort, but they were both worried. They hoped that this road would be farther and it would be better if they could never reach it. There were still about two days to go, and the sun was already rising. In the inn, the two of them were sleeping in the same bed, and neither of them wanted to get up.
Liu Ximei curled up in Gu Shengchao's arms like a docile kitten, and said shyly: "It's almost here, what are your plans, Master?"
Gu Shengchao gently stroked her long black hair, took out half of the talisman that Uncle Xu gave him and said, "I'm reluctant to give it up too, but it's hard to predict whether Old Uncle Xu will live or die. I'm afraid this is what he asked before his death, and I can't bear it."
Liu Ximei raised her head and looked at Gu Shengchao, her eyes full of emotion: "I have been interested in the young master for a long time. Couldn't the young master see it and have the heart to abandon me?"
Gu Shengchao was speechless. He said truthfully: "Miss Liu is admired by everyone, and I am just an insignificant mediocrity. To be admired by this girl is truly a blessing, and I am very frightened. She is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I But he is a rough man, as humble as a mayfly, living and dying, but he always feels that he is not worthy of a girl. Every time he thinks about it, he can't help but feel inferior and dare not have any wrong thoughts. "
Liu Ximei sighed and said: "Others think I am unattainable, but in fact, in Miaochun Pavilion, I am very humble and walk on thin ice every day, fearing that I will be dragged out and thrown away like a dead dog. Which of those high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen? You treat me as a human being, and you have to smile at me no matter how much grievance you endure, and live a life that is worse than a pig or a dog every day."
She shed tears as she spoke, "Ever since I met Young Master, who healed my wounds and taught me martial arts, I have never been more relaxed and free these days. Seeing that I had just escaped from the tiger's mouth and was about to enter the wolf's den again, I was unwilling to accept it, so I could only rely on The young master is fulfilled."
