The man in black waved his hand and said, "Take them back, I'll leave first." As soon as he turned around, he saw someone coming out of the night to block his way.
The ancient sage looked at the man in black blankly, as if staring at a dead man and said coldly: "Wait, I have something to ask."
The man in black suddenly felt an invisible aura suppressing him, forcing him to kneel down. He stood up with difficulty and said with cold sweat: "What kind of saint is a hero? We have no grievances and have nothing to say."
"Okay, detoxify them all, and I'll spare your lives." Gu Shengchao had just used the Five Soul Formation to exert pressure, but now he stopped the formation and acted according to the opportunity.
"Haha, you little kid has such a bad tone. He dares to play tricks on our Night Ghost Sect." The two people who held up the torches looked away with disdain. They each took their swords and rushed over with a chop, trying to stab the ancient sage with Chaos Sword. die. Gu Shengchao was full of anger and had nowhere to vent. Seeing that the two of them did not know what was good and what was good, he used the Nine Heavens Biluo Palm, and the three of them fought together. When the battle was in full swing, a small ball, the size of a pigeon egg, flew inexplicably and exploded among the three of them, filling the air with gray mist.
None of the three people noticed and inadvertently inhaled the powder. The two of them screamed, one of them pointed at the man in black and wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, no sound came out, and each of them instantly became numb. Gu Shengchao had already developed a body that was invulnerable to all poisons at Mengyou Villa. He also pretended to be poisoned and imitated their stupid look and stood there.
The man in black laughed proudly and said: "We dare to wade into the muddy water of Night Ghost Gate. We really have the courage of a bear and a leopard." He took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, opened the lid and put it under the nostrils of the two people one after another. , the two smelled something inside, sneezed several times in succession, and slowly woke up.
One person was filled with righteous indignation and pointed at the man in black: "My lord, you can even kill one of your own. Watch me go back and report to the leader."
The man in black was not annoyed, but instead put the cap on the bottle and said with a smile: "Go back and complain boldly. We will see how the master handles it. If you are happy, I will give you a slap in the face. If you encounter the master who is angry, your life will be at risk." "
Another person advised: "Okay, it's not like you don't know the rules of our Night Ghost Sect. Things that can be solved with poison will never be dealt with with fists. You will gain wisdom after every experience. Just pay attention next time."
The two men were aggrieved, and there was nothing they could do against the man in black.
The man in black walked up to the ancient sage, raised the bottle and shook it in front of him, shaking his head and saying: "It's a pity that all my skills have withered away and I have become a useless person. The antidote is right in front of me, but I don't realize it. Silly People are blessed with stupidity. From today on, you no longer have any worries, which can be regarded as a good deed that I have done."
The ancient sage's hands were like lightning, and he snatched the porcelain bottle from the chattering man in black. When he was stunned, he used his meridians to backhand a few key points, making him unable to move. Gu Shengchao put the porcelain bottle into his arms and said mockingly: "Humph, people always die from talking too much and being mean-mouthed. However, they just don't change and insist on asking for trouble."
The two people were horrified when they saw this, and they both thrust their swords without hesitation. Gu Shengchao used his Nine Heavens Blue Falling Palm and struck one of them on the chest in less than ten moves. The man's heart and lungs were shattered and he died on the spot. The other person didn't dare to fight, but was confused. Just as he was about to run away, Gu Shengchao kicked him in the leg. His leg bone was broken and he fell to the ground. Gu Shengchao raised his foot and stepped on his other good leg and asked, "Who are you?"
The man was frightened and trembled: "We are both disciples of the Night Ghost Sect. The one who can poison is a green-faced ghost named Yaoshun. We are ordinary disciples and are responsible for picking up and transporting people who are stunned."
"Where will they be sent to in the end?" Gu Shengchao pointed at Ding Ying and the others.
The man said in fear: "I don't know where they ended up. Anyway, most of the strong ones went to the quarries to work as coolies, and the young and beautiful women must have gone to brothels."
Gu Shengchao had something unclear and said: "It's most convenient to put a fainted person in a car and drive him away. Why bother to pretend to be a ghost? If more people bump into it, won't it be easy to expose the secret?"
The man hesitated and couldn't explain clearly. The ancient sage Chao really didn't know when he saw him. He flew up and kicked him far away. He hit a tree and died from a broken head and bleeding.
Gu Shengchao unscrewed the cap of the bottle and let the three women, Ding and Ying, smell the powder inside. After a while, the three of them sneezed non-stop, with tears and mucus flowing from their noses, and then they slowly woke up.
Ding Ying looked at Gu Shengchao as if in a dream, and said in surprise: "Why are you here, and where am I?"
"Don't worry about this for now. Think carefully about why you came to Xileng Kingdom from the Dawu Dynasty." Gu Shengchao slowly enlightened her.
Ding Ying's mind was in a mess. Many details were intertwined and she couldn't tell the order. She squatted down and said in pain: "I forgot, many memories are segment by segment and can't be connected at all."
The other two women also had fragmented memories of their past, and their words were even more confusing.
Gu Shengchao was puzzled. Just now he clearly saw that he got better immediately after taking the medicine in the porcelain bottle. Why didn't they work? Is it because of the woman? He wanted the butcher to give it a try, and thought about it. The man had a violent temper, and when he woke up he had to tear the green-faced ghost apart and eat it. He unblocked a few unimportant acupuncture points so that he could not move but could still speak.
"Tell me, why do you want these people to walk?" Gu Shengchao knew that Yaoshun could hear him, so he asked him deliberately.
Yaoshun clenched his teeth and said nothing. The ancient sage Chao pointed his finger at the Zigong point on his chest, and a stream of true energy was slowly injected into his meridians. Yaoshun felt like thousands of ants eating his heart and was in excruciating pain. In the end, he couldn't hold on any longer. He begged: "I said, please stop torturing me."
Gu Shengchao withdrew his true energy and gasped loudly: "Letting them walk is to make the poisonous gas circulate better in the body. When the poisonous gas attacks the heart, each one of them will become a walking corpse. Even if they absorb the antidote and look normal on the outside, they will still be alive." You have no regrets at our mercy."
It turned out that Gu Shengchao felt regretful and slapped himself hard twice with his bow left and right. He clearly sensed Ding Ying, but he followed her for so long, letting the poisonous gas circulate in her body and almost hurt her body. He immediately got up and sniffed the antidote for the butcher. Sure enough, the butcher was not affected by the poison for a short period of time. When he saw the butcher coming forward, he tore him apart and skinned him alive before he finally relieved his hatred and left.
Gu Shengchao led Ding Ying and the others back to the inn. When they entered the guest room, they started with Ding Ying and used their internal power to remove toxins one by one, until the rooster sang the dawn. The three of them recovered and the past resurfaced in their minds. Ding Ying recounted her experience.
Ding Ying accompanied her masters Fang Xingdan and Lu Chuan to leave the capital. They had no fixed place to live. Fang Xingdan grew up in Qixingya and got used to living there. She was inspired by seeing the perfume shop in the capital, so she settled in Luoyao Bay and bought a shop. Transformed into a perfume store. Selling tea in the front and providing bathing facilities in the back, it was good to have a stable daily income. As Ding Ying was busy as a disciple, Fang Xingdan and Lu Chuan had nothing to do.
Fang Xingdan had nothing to do and suddenly wanted to see the snow-capped mountains and deserts. Lu Chuan was extremely doting on her and immediately accompanied her there, leaving the perfume store to Ding Ying.
Next door to the perfume store is a vegetable shop, which is run by an old woman. After chatting with Ding Ying, she learned that her son had not returned to Serang Country for many years, and she only knew that he was doing business. Grandma missed her son and asked Ding Ying to accompany her to find him. Ding Ying thought that the perfume shop only needed help from the clerk. In addition, Fang Xingdan usually valued wealth over justice, so Ding Ying agreed because she was so hot-headed at this moment. Grandma took out all her savings, and the two of them went to Sereng Country to look for someone. After asking around, they found out that Grandma's son owed a lot of debt and had died long ago while working in a quarry. Grandma could not withstand the blow and soon passed away.
Ding Ying simply took care of her grandma and spent all her money. She did not bother to go back, so she had to find a restaurant to earn money to save travel expenses.
Two nights ago, late at night, the restaurant was about to close, and the green-faced ghost wanted to come in for dinner. He was extremely disrespectful to the proprietress and teased her with dirty words. The boss was unhappy when he stepped forward and suffered a loss, so Ding Ying took out the silver whip on her body to help the boss deal with Yao Shun together. Unexpectedly, Yaoshun suddenly spilled a lot of medicinal powder, and they all fell into coma one after another. When they woke up, they were here.
Only after Ding Ying introduced Gu Shengchao did she know that one of the other two women was the proprietress of a restaurant and the other was also a handyman. It was already daybreak. Jiang Wan and Ran Dengjia heard the commotion and came over to understand the situation. Gu Shengchao borrowed their horses. They remembered that the two people at the mountain temple last night should also be riding horses. They went over to look for them and found two horses. The horses were tied behind the temple and the four of them rode back to the restaurant.
The restaurant owner was seriously injured and was treated. Fortunately, he saved his life. Ding Ying also found her lost silver whip upstairs and put it away. She originally wanted to return to Luo Ya Bay alone, but Gu Shengchao was worried about her safety along the way and insisted that she accompany her to Yunshang City first and then return to Dawu Dynasty together. Ding Ying agreed.
On the way, Ding Ying deliberately fell behind Jiang Wan and the others, and asked in a low voice: "When we were in the capital of the Great Wu Dynasty, didn't you have to marry that woman named Liu Ximei? Why didn't you see her?"
Gu Shengchao sighed: "You can't tolerate her getting angry and leaving. She chose to leave in order to fulfill you. In the end, I was defeated in vain."
Ding Ying was unhappy, pinched Gu Shengchao's arm hard and said, "Who are you scolding? Who is the chicken and who is the egg?"
"Ouch!" Ancient Sage screamed in pain and said to please: "You are the phoenix, I am the chicken, I am the egg, that's enough!"
Ding Ying laughed out loud after hearing this, feeling very happy.
Gu Shengchao said that Fenghuang suddenly remembered something, and said: "Do you still remember Fengwu swordsmanship?"
"Of course I remember. I danced several times in my spare time. This time I returned to Luo Ya Bay and settled down. My master, senior Lu Chuan, and I went to the cave to check it out again. Senior Lu said that it was a broken copy and it was useless to practice, so he asked I will practice less in the future." Ding Ying said a little aggrieved.
Gu Shengchao said in admiration: "Senior Lu came from the Four Kings Valley, but his knowledge and vision are unparalleled. The carvings in the cave are indeed fragments, and there are still three moves that have not been marked."
"How did you know?" Ding Ying was surprised.
Gu Shengchao smiled and said: "I saw it with my own eyes on Snake Island in the Four Kings Valley, and I won't lie to you."
Ding Ying stared at Gu Shengchao: "You went to the Four Kings Valley? How did you get there?"
Gu Shengchao was immediately speechless. He hadn't told Ding Ying about his marriage to Wan Ruo yet, so he was speechless for a moment.
