When Gu Shengchao woke up, it was already bright. He was about to get up when a lotus-rooted arm was placed on his chest and said softly: "It's still early, where are you going, sir?"
"After all, I am also the agent of the Evil King. I just want to show off and go to the main hall to listen to what they are saying?" Gu Shengchao said seriously.
Wanruo burst into laughter, smiling like a flower: "First of all, that hall is called the Assembly Hall. Secondly, we don't have to go there every day. Unless there are special circumstances, we can go there every day that ends in three, six, or nine. Last night we both The flowers are blooming and the moon is full, why not take this opportunity to communicate more.”
Suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door, and Wu Jun whispered outside: "Master, are you awake? I contacted the textile lady to make new clothes for my uncle."
"Come right away." Gu Shengchao stood up to get dressed.
"Wait a minute." Wanruo was greedy for the beauty of last night, so he forcibly pushed down the ancient sage, and a new overlord came forward...
After a long time, Gu Shengchao dressed up and opened the door. Wu Jun knew what they were doing because he had been there before, so he covered his mouth to enjoy himself for fear of laughing out loud, secretly admiring the master's fierceness.
The weaver lady measured the size of Gusheng Chao. After they had breakfast, Gusheng Chao and Wanruo went to visit Danqun, the king of Hunxiao, together.
After yesterday's treatment, Shanqun was able to sit up on his own, his face became rosy and his complexion improved. Gu Shengchao was worried and spent some time dredging his meridians. After finishing it, Gu Shengchao was sweating profusely and looked tired.
"Thank you Brother Gu for your help. I, Shan Qun, can't repay you. If you need me in the future, just ask. I will answer your request." Shan Qun felt that his whole body's meridians were relaxed, as if he had infinite strength to burst out, to the ancient sage. Very grateful.
Mrs. Shanqun was also very grateful and took care of her personally by serving tea and water.
Wan Ruo smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work. We are the only ones who don't need to be so polite. We are all a little flattered."
Mrs. Danqun's eyes were always on Gu Shengchao, and she joked: "If Wanruo comes, I won't bother to take care of you. You are taking advantage of your brother-in-law."
"Really?" Wan Ruo held Gu Shengchao in his arms and said deliberately: "Sister-in-law, I'm starting to worry when my sister-in-law says this. I have to keep an eye on my husband-in-law in the future, and everything will become a piece of cake."
The crowd roared with laughter.
When the two of them were about to leave, Mrs. Shanqun sent them off in person, and said with a smile: "A little farewell is better than a wedding. Sister, please don't tire your brother-in-law out, otherwise I, my sister-in-law, won't be able to spare you."
"Definitely, definitely." Wanruo's face was full of spring breeze, and she took Gu Shengchao's hand and walked on the road with a smile.
Wanruo was in a good mood and had nothing to do, so he took Gu Shengchao on a mountain tour to enjoy the scenery and introduce the topography and distribution of the Four Kings Valley. The two of them climbed a peak and had a panoramic view of the Raja Ampat Valley. They could clearly see the curved river and the streets and lanes built along the mountain. From time to time, clouds drifted under their feet, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Gu Shengchao asked in confusion: "The Valley of the Four Kings is right in front of me. Why couldn't I find it when I climbed up the mountain from the waterfall that day?"
Behind him were the mountains. Wanruo turned around and pointed there and said: "The terrain of the Four Kings Valley is unique. It doesn't look steep when standing at the foot of the mountain. From a distance, you can see that there are peaks towering into the clouds. In addition, the mountain road is winding. It is easy for those who are familiar with the terrain to get lost and go elsewhere. We are now going out from here over the mountains behind us. It is extremely difficult to climb many mountains. I once tried it when I was naughty when I was young. The wind on the peak was biting and there was drifting snow, and I almost froze to death on it. I won’t dare to try again from now on.”
"So that's it." Gu Shengchao looked down the mountain in a daze.
Wan Ruo held his arm and clung to his chest like a bird, saying, "What are you thinking about?"
Holding her hand that had become calloused by practicing Kungfu, Gu Shengchao thought: "Ding Ying and I encountered the wolf demon from Beihu on the way back, and narrowly defeated her. According to Juqu Meng, their kungfu all originated from Feng Wu." Qiuhuang Sword Technique, but Feng Wu Sword Technique is already known to us, leaving only Qiuhuang Sword Technique. I was wondering, did we miss something on Snake Island, which caused Feng Wu Sword Technique to be far less powerful than Qiuhuang Sword Technique? Swordsmanship.”
"Do you want to go to Snake Island to check again?" Wan Ruo said softly.
Gu Shengchao nodded: "That is indeed the intention."
"How about waiting for two days before leaving?" Wanruo looked at Gu Shengchao, his charming eyes were a little blurry.
Gu Shengchao screamed secretly and was about to escape when Wan Ruo tripped over his feet and fell, and then he was pressed up...
After two days of hard work, Wan Ruo finally spared Gu Shengchao, and the two of them were ready to ride to Snake Island. They first rested in the wooden house in Chijin Mountain and put the unused things there, and then the two of them crossed the river. This time Wanruo stopped being coy and openly smeared medicinal mud on his naked body in front of Gu Shengchao to guard against poisonous snakes.
After successfully finding the cave on Snake Island, the two of them rummaged through the four stone chambers and found nothing unusual. The ancient sage wondered, is Feng Wu's swordsmanship so unbearable?
"Are there any other caves that haven't been found yet?" Wanruo reminded.
Snake Island is open in the middle and narrow at both ends. The terrain is undulating and uneven. The two searched every corner but could not find other caves. They only discovered another anomaly during the search, that is, each spring is located at a relatively high position, and then along the Then it flows elsewhere through artificially dug ditches. Since Snake Island does not have particularly high peaks, the flow direction of these ditches cannot be determined for a while.
The two tried to stand on Chijin Mountain and look into the distance, but they still couldn't see clearly because the distance was too far.
Gu Shengchao recalled the scene when he and Wan Ruo looked down at the Four Kings Valley from the top of the mountain, and blurted out: "It would be great if I could fly over Snake Island. I would definitely see everything clearly."
He said something casually, but Wan Ruo meant it carefully. The two of them sat side by side on the stone beam and thought hard. There happened to be a flying bird flying overhead. The two of them were thoughtful and said in unison: "Paper kite."
As promised, Wanruo returned to the Four Kings Valley to find a carpenter and asked them to measure the size of the ancient sage and make a custom-made large kite that he could lie on. The master carpenter split the straight bamboo into bamboo strips, then baked and heated them with steam to bend them into a suitable shape. Finally, he covered them with hemp paper soaked in tung oil, with an opening in the upper middle, allowing Gu Shengchao's head to poke out and observe. Situation below.
The carpenter was afraid that there would not be enough, so he made five in succession and gave them to Wan Ruo.
Wanruo weighed the kite, mobilized his disciples to weave a long rope overnight, and then led many disciples to Snake Island.
Snake Island is surrounded by two rivers in front and behind, and there are rolling mountains between the two rivers. The only feasible way is for everyone to ride horses by the river to drive the kite into the air, and then choose the right time to cut the rope and let the kite glide over Snake Island for observation. . It was difficult to connect the rope after it was cut, so Yu Ji thought of a way to hang a temporary buckle on the front part of the kite. Just pull the buckle to separate the two, making it easier to use next time.
When everything was ready, Gu Shengchao lay on top of the kite, and more than a dozen of Wan Ruo's disciples galloped at the same time to forcefully pull up the huge kite. Gu Shengchao could only hear the whistling wind. The strong wind made it difficult for him to breathe. When the kite reached the side of Snake Island, he decisively pulled the buckle.
The kite was out of control and fell straight into the river.
Wan Ruo was so frightened that he ran to the shore and was about to jump into the river to rescue him, but he saw Gu Shengchao sticking his head out and waving his hand: "I'm fine, no need to come over." Gu Shengchao was very good at water and swam over slowly. When we reached the shore, it was a pity that one kite was destroyed.
Everyone studied countermeasures, and they probably didn't grasp the wind direction well. Gu Shengchao made gestures on the ground for a long time, and initially mastered how to adjust the direction of the kite in the air.
With the experience of the first time, the second time went smoothly. After Gu Shengchao removed the buckle in mid-air, the wind direction changed suddenly. He swayed left and right in the air and was teetering. The people watching below also let out a burst of exclamation. Fortunately, he practiced in advance on the ground and constantly adjusted his body posture to control the kite to maintain balance. The kite hovered in the air, made a few turns and then slowly fell into the dense forest next to it.
The ancient sage had super kung fu and jumped to the tree crown in time to avoid it. The kite hit the tree and the linseed paper he was covering was torn by the branches and could no longer be used.
Everyone was sorry and had to try again.
The third time Wu Jun raised a yellow flag high in the distance, and everyone could intuitively feel the change in the wind direction. When Gu Shengchao took off again, everyone anxiously watched the flag in Wu Jun's hand. They were all very excited when they saw the yellow flag fluttering in the wind. Gu Shengchao saw the opportunity and decisively removed the rope. Just as he was trying to float towards Snake Island, the flag that had been swinging in the wind suddenly drooped.
Without the push of the wind, the big kite fell straight forward. Wu Jun was holding the flag high in front. When she saw the kite landing above her head, she dropped the flag and ran away. But strangely, whichever direction she ran, the kite followed. Square chase.
Gu Shengchao, who was on the kite, was also puzzled. Wu Jun ran in whichever direction he avoided, as if he had discussed it with him in advance.
Seeing that the kite was about to hit Wu Jun, she thought out of her wits and simply leaned down to the ground. The kite whizzed past her head and hit the ground. Gu Shengchao had been prepared long ago. The moment the kite landed, it rolled over, taking off the force of the fall and remaining unscathed.
After three failures, everyone was a little discouraged. However, Gu Shengchao became more and more courageous with every setback. He encouraged everyone: "Don't be afraid, you will succeed soon. At worst, if you make a few more kites, I won't be afraid of you. What else do you have to be afraid of?"
Everyone was encouraged and cheered up. This time, Wanruo held up a flag directly in front to let everyone watch the direction of the wind. All the other disciples rode on horseback and pulled the rope to make the kite fly higher.
Wanruo saw the flags flapping when the wind was blowing, so he shouted loudly: "Get up!"
In the distance, more than a dozen horses were galloping. Gu Shengchao was lying on the kite and flying high. He controlled the balance of the kite by shaking it from side to side, and the big kite flew steadily in the air. When he arrived at the position, Gu Shengchao watched closely as the flag was still flying high. He removed the buckle in time, and the kite carried him smoothly and flew over Snake Island.
"It's done!"
"Fly away!"
The crowd cheered.
Wanruo's heart was in her throat, fearing that the wind direction would change, until the kite floated steadily over Snake Island, and her hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
