"Mom, the water is here."
Yuchi Yao said and brought two glasses of water, one for Liu Ximei and one for Wan Ruo, but there was none from Gu Shengchao.
"Thank you Yaoyao." Wan Ruo took the water glass with both hands and proudly showed it to Gu Shengchao.
Curling his lips, Gu Shengchao ate up the remaining food in a few mouthfuls and asked, "Where have Jin Anchun and the others gone now?"
Wan Ruo took a sip of water and said: "After you were injured and fell into coma, Sister Liu killed Tong Zhengang, the king of Beitian. I killed some more rural soldiers, and the others scattered. Someone reported it to the official, and when the Yamen came, Jin Anchun showed them the dental plaque and No one will care about the paperwork. Jin Anchun and others originally wanted to stay by your side and wait until you wake up before making a decision, but I rejected their kindness. "
"Since King Wu's Palace has sent two heavenly kings and one envoy, there will definitely be no ambush on the way back. This is a great opportunity for us to pass smoothly. This place is not far from the capital, and Sister Liu and the others just rode four horses in order to save horsepower. I He asked them to escort Gao Yuanwai and Cai Ji back to the capital immediately. If everything goes well, they should return to the Yamen now." Wan Ruo looked at the afterglow of the setting sun in the room and estimated the time.
"Yao Yao, this water tastes really good. Is there any sugar in it?" Wan Ruo put down the water glass and praised.
Yuchi Yao nodded: "My mother is not used to drinking plain water, so I added a little honey."
Gu Shengchao thought of the days when he was dating Liu Ximei, but he didn't find these details. He was worse than a little girl. He couldn't help but feel: "I am a rough person and don't know how to care about others. I am really lucky to have the care of two sisters." Accumulating virtue.”
Staring at Gu Shengchao's guilty expression, Wan Ruo said curiously: "I just realized that when did your glib mouth become sweeter than honey, I am surprised." After that, she pinched his cheek.
"It hurts, it hurts." Gu Shengchao shouted deliberately.
Wan Ruo offered her hand: "It's getting late. Let's eat and rest for the night before setting off tomorrow morning."
"Well, I'm already hungry." Yuchi Yao said honestly.
Gu Shengchao touched his stomach and regretted: "Oops, if I had known I wouldn't have eaten that bowl of noodles. I don't want to eat now."
Wan Ruo said proudly: "You're stupid, I didn't want to invite you to dinner. We sisters just happened to be getting together, so I didn't bring you."
"Look at this first. If you don't understand anything, I'll teach you tonight." Liu Ximei threw the book "Iron Arm Magic" to Gu Shengchao, took the hands of Wan Ruo and Yu Chiyao and left.
The ancient sage closed the door, and soon the sun began to set in the west. It was the time when the lanterns were first put on and every household lit up the lanterns.
After lighting the candle, he carefully opened the cover of "Iron Arm Magic" and read it carefully.
There are both illustrations and text explanations on it, making it easy to understand.
Gu Shengchao was glad that he did not waste his time in Xileng Kingdom. In his heart, the thing that helped him the most was the thin "Explanation of Oral Formulas" that even Wu Jun looked down upon.
Although the "Detailed Explanation of Formulas" that Shui Linglong gave him later was richer in content, without the enlightenment and guidance of "Explanation of Formulas", no matter how good the book is, it is useless.
Looking at it line by line, the ancient sage Chaoyue felt the wisdom and intelligence of his ancestors. Everyone who practices the Iron Arm Magic Kung Fu has an unpredictable destiny that threatens the lives of the practitioners at any time, but there is no way to improve it.
Just because he knew where Zhao Yinhu's life gate was, Gu Shengchao, who had mediocre martial arts at the time, used the "Xuanqing" Night Pearl as bait to easily kill him and avenge his father's murder.
It turns out that this disgusting life gate is actually very useful.
The magical function of the iron arm allows practitioners to temper their bones and flesh to achieve invulnerability. But this is only a physical transformation and is not truly foolproof.
Just like this time when the Ancient Saint was in danger, no matter how strong his body was, he couldn't withstand the heavy blows from sharp weapons.
The mental method in the sandwich layer of the cover allows the practitioner to use the true energy to form a layer of armor-like protection on the surface of the skin, truly achieving the effect of invulnerability.
Since it is already invulnerable in the early stage, the only connection between the zhenqi on the surface of the skin and the Dantian is the gap in the Mingmen. When the zhenqi is transformed into armor, the Mingmen will naturally be protected, and there is no need to worry about being attacked here.
When the danger is removed, the Dantian can absorb the true energy from the surface of the skin through the Mingmen, and it can be used again next time.
This layer of armor transformed from true energy is divided into four stages: gold, silver, copper, and iron, with iron at the bottom and gold at the top. Liu Ximei can now transform into silver armor, and she is not far from the highest level of the Iron Arm Magic.
Gu Shengchao was reading and practicing involuntarily. Unknowingly, he caught a glimpse of the color of the skin on the back of his hand changing color. He was startled and immediately threw away the book he was holding.
He was frightened, and the color on the back of his hand returned to its original color after the energy dissipated.
Could it be?
Gu Shengchao couldn't believe it.
He gradually lucked into the Iron Arm Divine Skill to protect his body, and everything was normal. Then he continued to practice according to the mental method in the cover, and a thin layer of iron armor condensed on the surface of his skin. He continued his luck, the thickness of the armor gradually increased, and a real set of armor appeared on him.
He practiced Jiutian Biluo Palm casually, and his flickering and Tengruo were not affected at all. This set of armor made of condensed zhenqi is soft yet hard, without the heaviness and discomfort of ordinary iron armor at all.
Done!
The ancient sage was overjoyed, and as he thought, the true energy passed through the Ming Gate to the meridians and finally returned to the Dantian.
The skin is back to normal.
As if he had found a treasure, the ancient sage held up "The Magic Power of the Iron Arm" and read it again under the lamp. He recited it while reading, for fear of missing important details, until he memorized all the contents.
Afraid of forgetting, he closed the book and sat cross-legged, reciting it silently in his mind.
The door was pushed open gently, and a graceful figure walked in through the crack of the door. She slowly closed the door and locked the bolt.
"You've been drinking." Gu Shengchao smelled the odor of alcohol.
After stumbling a bit, Liu Ximei sat down next to Gu Shengchao and held his arm: "Sister Wanruo is in a good mood and insists on us drinking. If she hadn't been worried that I couldn't accompany you at night, I would have been drunk long ago. ”
With a crimson face and blurred eyes, Liu Ximei was indeed a little drunk, leaning softly against Gu Shengchao.
"Where's that girl Yuchi Yao? Isn't she afraid of the dark and dare not sleep alone?" Gu Shengchao thought of his last experience.
Liu Ximei looked up at him, her hazy eyes becoming more and more seductive, "My sister is here. She went with her. It's just the two of us tonight."
She leaned closely against Gu Shengchao, like a well-behaved civet cat: "How much of "Iron Arm Magic" do you understand? I can tell you what you don't understand."
Gu Shengchao didn't speak. He stretched out his arms to let the true energy gather on the surface of his skin. In a moment, a suit of iron armor condensed on the surface of his skin.
"How did you master it?" Liu Ximei said in disbelief: "I remember that I told you the most basic aspects of this Kung Fu. How can you understand it yourself?"
"Three days of farewell should be treated with admiration, let alone such a long time. I was fortunate enough to study for a period of time at Yunqi Palace in the West Cold Country, and happened to learn how to understand the formula." Gu Shengchao collected his energy and allowed his skin to recover. usual.
"That's good, so you don't have to worry about whether you can learn it or not." Liu Ximei leaned on his shoulder and blinked her dark eyes, tender and charming.
Gu Sheng hugged her lovingly, and Liu Ximei fell into his arms, holding his neck, her eyes full of desire, patiently waiting for his arrangement.
Liu Ximei's biggest advantage is that she doesn't fight or grab, and she does whatever she wants when things happen. She is not as domineering as Wan Ruo, and she has the determination and courage to do something even though she knows what can't be done.
Gu Shengchao couldn't help but kiss her gently, picked her up and brought her to the bed...
It was already late at night after the two of them had talked about each other, and the candles had long been burned out and extinguished themselves. The two of them hugged each other and refused to give up their dreams.
Gu Shengchao was immersed in joy when he suddenly sensed that there seemed to be someone outside the window. He investigated intently, and sure enough, a person's aura appeared outside the window, pacing back and forth in the corridor, as if he couldn't make up his mind.
"There's someone outside the window." Gu Shengchao and Liu Ximei whispered, got up, put on their clothes quietly, and came to the door.
A bright light appeared in the corner of the window lattice, and a thin stick of incense broke through the window paper and poked its way in.
Fragrant!
The ancient sage flicked his finger and the scent flew out.
"Oops!" The man outside was unprepared and seemed to have been burned. Knowing that he was exposed, he jumped up on the roof and ran away.
Gu Shengchao ducked out of the room and chased after him.
The town is not big, and we arrived at the outskirts in a few leaps. The man in front was extremely fast, and his running posture was special. His body would twist sideways and forward from time to time, as if he was avoiding something.
The ancient sage is so funny, it seems like he has met an acquaintance.
Outside Huaming City, a small border town in the West Cold Country, Fan Datou carried Yang Qianhui on his back and wanted to do something wrong. He was like this when he ran away, always prepared for the sneak attack of the darts behind him.
The two of them ran for five or six miles one after the other. The figure of the other party suddenly disappeared in the night, and there was only a gurgling river in front of them.
Gu Shengchao walked forward carefully, paying attention to the opponent's darts.
He smiled.
Under the cover of grass and shrubs by the river, a breath is hidden on the water. You couldn't see it in the night. It was probably because the body was soaked in the river water, and only the head was exposed.
"As for the man, alas, let him run away." Gu Shengchao said to himself, deliberately looking into the distance for a moment, then turned around and walked back slowly.
Not far away there was lush farmland, so he leaned down and hid.
After waiting patiently for a while, a head emerged from the river and looked over.
The two of them seemed to be testing their willpower. Neither of them could move, but Fan Datou couldn't hold his breath anymore. He swam across the river, took off his wet coat, and ran forward.
There are few places to hide in the suburbs. Fortunately, the ancient sage has a wide range of super perception. As long as he locks on the opponent's aura, he can still be tracked in a concealed manner even if he takes a long detour.
Fan Datou in front was also alert, stopping and looking back from time to time. He seemed to sense something strange behind him, and he often turned around suddenly, but never found any trace of Gu Shengchao.
After walking for more than ten miles, Fan Datou carried his clothes and walked into a huge palace that was comparable in size to the imperial palace in the capital, wearing only his underwear.
The ancient sage was very puzzled and slowly took a closer look. The sign hanging above the tall palace gate had three big characters written on it:
"Wangwang Palace."
