Gu Shengchao did not dare to hesitate. Seeing that the giant wolf's sharp claws were only a few feet away from his head, he jumped to the side to avoid it. The giant wolf's big claws slapped the ground and stirred up dust. Gu Shengchao took advantage of the dust to get under the giant wolf's belly, jumped up high and used the "flying to the sky" move in Jiutian Biluo's palm, hitting the giant wolf's belly.
There was a loud "bang" sound, and Gu Shengchao felt a flash of lightning appear in front of his eyes. He couldn't see anything, but felt a strong wind blowing, causing him to sway this way and that in the air and fall. His arms seemed to be about to break and the pain was unbearable.
Gu Shengchao rolled over after landing on the ground, and he was able to stand firm after taking off the force of his fall. He moved his arms, but fortunately, apart from the pain, they were not broken.
The giant wolf had fallen to the ground, stirring up dust all over the sky. The giant wolf seemed to have a big hole in its abdomen that was constantly leaking air. It quickly deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally disappeared into nothing.
The giant wolf dissipated, and Gu Shengchao saw a man lying on his side not far away. The man had a beard covered in blood. Blood kept pouring out of his mouth, and his chest was stained red. Next to it is a drum, which requires at least three or four people to surround. The drum skin has been shattered, and only the broken drum shell is basically falling apart.
The two competed for internal strength, and in the end the Ancient Sage came out on top. The opponent tried his best and was unable to support himself, causing internal injuries. It seemed that there was something wrong with his Dantian and meridians.
The giant wolf disappeared, the drum was broken, and the demon was wounded.
The evil wolves gathered in the desert lost control and dispersed with their tails between their legs. The desert under the night returned to peace, but with a strong smell of blood.
The middle-aged man led the crowd over, and seeing how embarrassed they all were, they must have been fighting hard just now.
Seeing that the wolf demon was seriously injured, one person ran over to kill him with a steel knife in his hand, but was stopped by a middle-aged man who said: "It is better to dissolve enemies than to marry them. It seems that he is also a useless person. Spare his life!" "
"But, but, who will pay for my brother's life!" The man was holding the steel knife and his whole body was shaking, and he was in pain.
The middle-aged man was also sad. He put his arms around the man's shoulders and comforted him: "This man is still my uncle after all. Let's spare him. He can't be resurrected. I will do my best to help you."
The wolf demon struggled to stand up, looking like a bloody man. He said proudly: "I have been traversing the desert for decades, and even if my meridians are destroyed, you don't need to pity me." He took out a dagger from behind and pointed at everyone. : "You, none of you have the right to decide my life or death. I control my own life."
After he finished speaking, he stabbed the dagger into his chest with his backhand. Although he was unwilling to do so, he slowly fell down. A generation of demons actually chose to commit suicide and leave the world.
The middle-aged man lamented, knelt down and kowtowed three times to the wolf demon. He went back and took a handful of firewood from the camel's bag, dug a pit the size of a person and buried the wolf demon.
Ding Ying had never experienced such a crisis, and she was still frightened by Gu Shengchao's side. She grabbed his arm with both hands and refused to let go in order to strengthen her courage. Gu Shengchao took back the Phoenix Dance Sword, and Ding Ying was a little reluctant to part with it. He explained: "This sword has a connection with you and me. I will discuss it with you in detail when I return to Luoya Bay."
Of the thirteen-person team, after counting, four people were killed and one was seriously injured. Most of them had minor injuries. Gu Shengchao helped bury the four people on the spot. The smell of blood was strong at the scene, and everyone was afraid of causing greater trouble, so they made some repairs and set off on the journey again.
Everyone walked forward not far and it was already dawn. Gu Shengchao suggested that they drive a little further and stop to rest at the small village in front. There was a small river there where they could take a shower and wash away the bloody smell. Everyone agreed.
The middle-aged man also said: "I have been to that village once, but I have never found it again."
Gu Shengchao determined the direction, and finally saw five lonely houses in the distance near noon. Everyone rushed there full of hope. When I got closer, I was disappointed again. Only these few houses were left, and the rest were deserted. The dry river not far from the houses showed everyone the coolness it once had, and the scorching sun was as hot as a steamer.
Now that they were here, everyone was helpless and hurried to the house to escape the heat and carried the seriously injured man inside to rest. The houses are all adobe houses made of rammed earth. The roofs are flat and paved with sand willows. However, the mud on them has long been blown away by the wind, and it can still block some sunlight. Everyone ate something and went to bed quickly. They were exhausted from the hard battle last night and were very tired. The animals had no choice but to hide in the shade behind the house to rest.
It was approaching sunset, and the seriously injured man kept wailing. Everyone was worried about his safety but could do nothing. When the sun went down, the seriously injured man stopped moaning and finally died. Everyone felt heavy and remained silent after burying the man.
The middle-aged man looked at Gu Shengchao and whispered in a low voice: "Little brother, you have also seen that our team is severely damaged and cannot withstand the next impact. Can you accompany us for the rest of the journey? If you need any compensation, we can discuss it. .”
"Brother, it's serious. If the two of us encounter the trouble last night, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat it. With more people and strength, we can't wait to go together." Ancient Sage said politely, even though he knew that the wolf demon deliberately targeted this team last night. Come.
The middle-aged man felt relieved and led everyone to continue on their way.
Under the night, Gu Shengchao and a middle-aged man were walking at the front of the team, one on horseback and the other on a camel. During the chat, Gu Shengchao learned that the middle-aged man was called Ju Qumeng, a businessman from Beihu who often visited Beihu and Dawu dynasties. Selling some private goods between them. There are no normal trade channels between the two countries, and they can only make a living by licking blood on the tip of a knife. Although the profits are huge, the risks are also huge.
"Brother Juqu, this time the wolf demon is obviously targeting you. When we reach the Dawu Dynasty, do you still want to go back?" Gu Shengchao asked worriedly.
Juqu sighed fiercely and said: "I can't go back. Fortunately, I also have some friends in the Dawu Dynasty. With their help, settling here will not be a problem. It's just that the children who came out with me are suffering and can't go back. "
"Brother Juqu said last night that the sect to which the wolf demon belongs has withered and declined. Can you tell me which sect it belongs to?" Gu Shengchao asked carefully. Just as Juqu was about to tell the story last night, the siege of the wolves made the two The conversation is interrupted.
Juqu Meng smiled heartily and said: "What's the harm? Let me ask you, have you ever heard of the Phoenix Dance and Phoenix Sword Technique of the Dawu Dynasty?"
Gu Shengchao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It is said that many years ago, Feng Wu Qiu Huang sword technique ranked first in the Dawu Dynasty, but it has been lost now."
"It's not lost, it's just passed down in different ways." Juqu stared at the hazy night in the distance and said: "I also heard that it is said that the Feng Wu Qiu Huang sect was excluded and suppressed in the Dawu Dynasty, and later moved to I, Beihu, recruited disciples widely and experienced prosperity and prosperity. Later, for some reason, internal strife broke out. One faction continued to go west, and the end is unknown. Another faction returned to the Dawu Dynasty and there was no news. Part of the remaining faction Focusing on the practice of swordsmanship, a few people found another way to concentrate on perception and mental skills, and they have the three demons of Beihu."
Gu Shengchao became more and more curious after hearing this: "Then Brother Juqu's faction is still called Fengwu Qiuhuang Sword Technique?"
Ju Qumeng waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I dare not call it that. After the internal strife in Fengwu Qiuhuang Sword Technique, many moves were lost. Originally, the sword was wielded with both hands, and in the end only the right hand sword was left. No one dared to stay. The sword technique of phoenix dancing to seek the phoenix is self-proclaimed, and it has been scattered and inherited within the family. For example, our Juqu people call it Juqu sword technique, and the Helan tribe calls it Helan sword technique. The cause and effect of inheritance is only told by word of mouth. Descendants. The Wolf Demon and I are not from the same team, they are just my uncles according to seniority."
"So that's it." Gu Shengchao understood that the Shuangjianmen he met in Xileng Kingdom might be the group that Ju Qumeng just mentioned that moved westward, but there was another group that had returned to the Dawu Dynasty. How could no one know about it? Well, this is really a mystery.
He recalled the records he saw in the Snake Island Cave in the Four Kings Valley. Sima Xicheng forced Gongsun Qiu to write down the fake Phoenix Dance sword technique. He thought he would be invincible in the world, but he never expected that the emperor was afraid of a single family. The Wuwang Palace was created to divide the various forces. Perhaps under such circumstances, Sima Xicheng's faction felt unprecedented pressure, and was forced to come to Beihu to establish a sect.
Gu Shengchao and Ju Qumeng led the way for a while and stopped to identify the direction. The two confirmed that they were going in the same direction, and then they set off again with confidence.
"thump!"
Suddenly someone in the team fell off the camel.
"Stop, my daughter-in-law has fallen. She is pregnant. Stop," a woman on another camel exclaimed loudly.
Everyone got off the camel and stepped forward to help. The woman fell off the camel and groaned: "Ouch, my stomach hurts."
Another woman was frightened after the examination and said: "Oh no, my daughter-in-law is bleeding from below. She is probably going to give birth. Please call the midwife quickly!"
Juqu suddenly found himself in trouble. How could there be other people in this wilderness.
Ding Ying volunteered and said, "If it doesn't work, I'll give it a try. I accompanied the master to deliver a baby once in the countryside."
"Quick, quick, you just give the order what needs to be done, and we will do it." Ju Qu said loudly, "This girl delivers the baby, everyone must listen to her, and there must be no mistakes."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ding Ying, which made her a little cautious. She looked around and said, "Prepare a thick mat for the mother to put under her body. Each man found a thick cloth, a water bag and Put all the torches here with me."
Everyone acted quickly and quickly followed the instructions. Gu Shengchao took out the tarpaulin for sunshade and set it aside. Ding Ying lit the torch and fixed it with stones, and placed the water bag next to the mother. She directed everyone: "Madam and I stay in the middle. All the men have their backs to us and open the cloths in their hands to block the wind."
The men used the thick cotton cloth, felt, and tarpaulin in their hands to connect together, surrounded the three women airtightly, and then stood with their backs to them.
Gu Shengchao and Juqumeng happened to be next to each other. He asked in a low voice: "Brother Juqu is really big-hearted. He dares to bring a mother who is about to give birth in the team. The wolf demon last night came just for her, right?"
Ju Qumeng was very helpless: "I have made my brother laugh, and I can't do anything about it. You Dadu Lieutenant and his son were framed by traitors and imprisoned. I was almost beheaded once for selling private goods. It was You Dadu Lieutenant who saved me. Because of the previous To visit, he was afraid that his family would be implicated, so someone asked me to take them away for the sake of his successor. The captain only had one wife, and his daughter-in-law was about to give birth, so I had to take the risk, but I didn’t know that the other party still didn’t want to let me go. If it weren’t for the help of my brothers, we would all die. In this vast desert.”
The two chatted in a low voice, and a clear cry came from the center of the cloth barrier. After a while, Ding Ying shouted from inside: "Okay, you can remove the surrounding things."
Gu Shengchao opened the tarpaulin, and a woman inside kowtowed to Ding Ying and said gratefully: "Thank you, girl. Thank God, mother and son are safe. I have a successor to the Huyan family."
The mother was too weak to ride, so everyone set up a temporary tent and set up camp here. After five days of rest, the mother was able to sit firmly on the camel with her baby in her arms, and the team set off again. After walking for another three days, we finally arrived at the boundary of the Dawu Dynasty.
