Gu Shengchao speculated while observing carefully. The formations under the swaying firelight around him were gathering and dispersing.
When dispersing, each team maintains a formation of at least five people and responds to the enemy with the force of the five elements.
When closed, gather in multiples of five-person teams to form a huge Five Elements Formation.
Although each independent woman in the formation is still the same, her internal strength and martial arts cannot be improved instantly, but once the formation is formed, these insignificant powers can be gathered together to release doubled power.
Gu Shengchao could see clearly that the "Five Soul Formation" taught to him by Lu Chuan was suitable for fighting alone, and he had never thought that it could be used by multiple people.
An idea gradually took shape in his mind, that is, everyone close to him should learn the "Five Soul Array" and then use it in conjunction, and the effect would be twice the result with half the effort.
Wan Ruo, Liu Ximei, and Ding Ying, including these three, he still lacked one person.
He and Yuchi Yao didn't like each other, and only his adopted sister Dong E was left.
Gu Shengchao was thinking wildly, Zhao Jin's drumming gradually faded, and the formation ended in a hurry after a brief demonstration.
Tian Mang nodded in approval and glanced sharply at the two women wielding the sword and the stick.
The two men were so frightened that they trembled all over, their legs became weak and they immediately knelt down.
"It is wrong to commit the following offense, not to mention that Mr. Zhao Jin is not at fault. The two of you have made more mistakes and should be punished according to the law." Tian Mang's expression was solemn, not like he was joking.
The two women were shaking like chaff, lowering their heads and not daring to say anything.
Tian Mang snorted coldly: "Since you two are the first offenders, our Tianqing Gang does not like to kill innocent people indiscriminately, so I will spare your lives and go. From now on, we will have nothing to do with the Tianqing Gang."
"Thank you Taibao." The two women thanked him profusely and ran away for fear of another accident.
Fang Ju followed the location called by Gu Shengchao just now. He had seen it a long time ago and retreated early to use the cover of night to return to the tent where he lived with Zhou Hualiang, leaving Fang Ju with nothing.
Early the next morning, Gu Shengchao and several others accompanied Zhou Hualiang to pay homage to the new prince.
On the way, Zhou Hualiang told him that this man's name was Lu Baokui, and he was an accomplished martial artist.
Their team has suffered many setbacks recently, and the superiors specially arranged for him to come to their aid, hoping to clear away the gloom of the past.
When they came to the young master's tent, they were told that he was practicing martial arts on the mountain, so everyone went up the mountain to look for him.
Halfway up the mountain, a man was dancing vigorously with a pair of halberds, and he was as murderous as a dragon and a tiger.
The double halberds are short, and the transition between offensive and defensive moves is airtight.
After he finished practicing a set of double halberds, Zhou Hualiang led several people to come forward and salute: "I'm here to see Mr. Tianqing."
Lu Baokui put away his two halberds and said arrogantly: "Excuse me, everyone, since I have been appointed to help you, I will lead you to create a career and not be underestimated by other teams. As long as I am here, you can rest assured."
He looked very arrogant, as if he was no one else but me.
"The leader is coming tomorrow. I have a secret matter to discuss with him. You can come back to me when the matter is over. Please disperse now."
Like sending beggars away, he ignored them after a few words and continued to practice his martial arts on his own.
Zhou Hualiang was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal immediately, cupping his hands and saying: "Young Master is busy, let's leave first."
Lu Baokui ignored them at all, and they left in despair.
On the way back, Long You took the lead in venting his anger: "Who is he? He is not the only one who comes to our house, Mr. Tianqing. In the end, they will not end up in the same destination. They will all die sooner or later. What a great guy. I think he is also a short-lived person." ghost."
"Shhh."
Zhou Hualiang was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth and looked around nervously.
"You can't say that, be careful. Walls have ears."
Fortunately, they were the only ones on the road.
Zhou Hualiang glanced at Gu Shengchao, stared at the winding mountain road at his feet and said meaningfully: "We are all friends of life and death, friends who have passed away. There are many things that only you and I know. Don't tell outsiders nonsense." .”
The ancient sage understood this and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, military advisor, we joined the Tianqing Gang because of the military advisor's suggestion. No matter whether he is a eunuch or a young master, we only follow the military advisor's orders."
There is a saying that goes like this: Thousands of things can be worn, but flattery can never be worn.
Zhou Hualiang looked calm on the surface, but he was happy in his heart.
"Brother Shengchao is serious. You still have to listen to the orders from above. The mistakes made below cannot be repeated."
"Yes, yes, I will remember what the military advisor said." Gu Shengchao agreed.
Back in the tent, Gu Shengchao wanted to go out for a stroll, but he was afraid that Zhou Hualiang and others would suspect him of informing him, so he had to stay in the tent and not go anywhere.
He was lying on the ground bored and thinking, and suddenly realized a problem.
Regardless of the size of the sect, there is a way to make a living. For example, Qixingya operates tea gardens, Siwang Valley sells coffins, Poison and Witchcraft sects refine various rare medicines, Miaochun Pavilion is a place for romance, and Wuyou Escort charges commissions .
King Wu Palace has a large amount of fertile land, Yunqi Palace relies on monopoly to do various businesses, and Baisha City has vast pastures and herds of livestock.
In the West Cold Country, Ding Ying almost fell into a desperate situation at Yeguimen, and even engaged in human trafficking.
In short, there is a way to earn money to ensure sufficient funds, so that the sect can operate normally.
However, what does the Tianqing Gang rely on to maintain the sect's daily expenses?
Anyway, so far, Gu Shengchao has not discovered it.
He thought of Fang Ju. That little girl was alert and should have noticed it, but it was not convenient for her to travel alone at the moment, so she could only endure it patiently.
It was even more boring at night, and several people turned off the lights early and went to bed.
In the haze, Gu Shengchao woke up instantly when he heard the noise outside and many people walking around.
The lights outside the tent were brightly lit, and the figures reflected on the tarpaulin were like watching a shadow puppet show. The inside of the tent is also bright and clearly visible.
Long You was woken up, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and complained: "We are not letting anyone sleep anymore, what are you doing outside!" He raised his hand and lifted a corner of the curtain.
Gu Shengchao raised his head slightly just in time to take a clear look outside.
There is a tall stone platform in the center of the canyon, with flags waving around it, a red carpet paving the road in the middle, and a gorgeous dragon chair being built in the center.
Countless bamboo strips and wooden sticks are intertwined and upward, making the dragon chair rise from the ground, looking tall and abrupt.
Those with good intentions came out of the tent one after another and gathered near the high platform to watch the fun.
The leader took out his sword from its sheath and warned: "This is a forbidden area and no one can get close to it. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."
Most people evacuated obediently, but there were always some people who didn't know what to do and moved further forward.
"Whoa! Whoa!"
Two cold lights flashed, and two heads fell to the ground.
"Sacrifice flag."
The leader picked up the head with the tip of his knife and threw it onto the high platform.
The others woke up from a dream and hurriedly ran away, for fear of being stabbed in the neck.
"Tch, it's a bluff." Long You was not surprised, curled his lips, put down the curtain and went back to sleep.
At dawn, someone shook each tent one by one.
"Get up, everyone, get up and line up immediately to welcome the master."
Several people walked out of the tent, followed the others to the center of the canyon, and gathered in front of the stone platform.
Someone was maintaining order, and the sword with a cold light was swinging: "Stand still, shut up and wait. Anyone who dares to make loud noises and move around at will will be executed."
Everyone who had just been shocked last night was obedient and no one dared to make a mistake, for fear of being separated by yin and yang.
Not long after, the red sun rose and filled the sky with glow.
The top of the mountain opposite was reflected red, as if it had been rendered with a paintbrush, and the green distant mountains seemed to be wearing a golden crown.
The ancient sage was also amazed after seeing it, admiring the exquisite creation of heaven and earth.
He made up his mind to bring Liu Ximei here if he had the opportunity in the future. She was good at painting. If she saw this scene, she would be full of praise and realistically render the beautiful scenery on the drawing paper.
In a trance, a small black spot suddenly appeared on the golden top of the mountain, flying towards this side quickly.
The ancient sage was startled, such speed was definitely not unusual.
In the blink of an eye, a person wearing a black cloak floated over.
That free and easy attitude is admirable.
"Living Immortal!"
It was only then that someone noticed and exclaimed, and involuntarily bowed down.
"Welcome Master!"
Many Taibao including Tian Mang also prostrated themselves.
"Welcome Master!"
More people prostrated themselves on the ground, impressed by the master's ability to descend from the sky.
The few people left standing sparsely in the team became aliens.
Gu Shengchao did not want to cause trouble, so he also bowed down and watched the leader's movements with his peripheral vision.
In an instant, everyone was on the ground, kneeling to welcome the arrival of the leader.
As the distance got closer, Gu Shengchao glanced at the leader and saw that he was wearing a cyan mask, covering his entire face.
People felt the invisible pressure and raised their heads to look at the master's appearance.
Arriving at the top of the high platform, the leader seemed to be using too much force to hold him back and continued to swoop forward.
"Wow!"
"Huh!"
"ah!"
Everyone noticed that the leader might fall forward and exclaimed.
Gu Shengchao felt a powerful wave of profound energy oscillating, like a strong wind hunting, and people were blinded by the sudden flying sand and rocks.
The master's cloak puffed up, he stopped suddenly, and fell steadily into the standing dragon chair.
In an instant, the canyon returned to calm.
Everyone raised their eyes and saw that the leader was already sitting on the dragon chair. They were shocked and even worshiped.
"See the leader!"
The sound resounded through the sky and echoed in the canyon for a long time.
"Get up!"
The leader raised his hand and spoke softly. His voice seemed soft, but it could spread throughout the valley. Everyone could clearly hear this kind voice.
It's like a warning in my ear.
Most people are ignorant and don't know why. Only masters like Gu Shengchao know that it is not easy to master this kind of sound transmission skill for thousands of miles, and it is not easy for those with strong internal strength.
"We, the Tianqing Gang, are the founders of the Tianqing Gang. We are recruiting heroes from all over the world. The top ten eunuchs are now in place. There are still more than ten young masters to go to the hundred. This time we are summoning everyone to compete and select heroes to be used by our Tianqing Gang. When our sect There are disciples all over the world, and you are the heroes, the great officials who lead a party, and endless glory and wealth are waiting for you." The leader has a mask on his face, and his expression cannot be seen.
But the cake is big enough and attractive enough.
Regarding this news, some knew it, and some were kept in the dark. The crowd began to become restless.
Gu Shengchao turned to look at Zhou Hualiang. He nodded encouragingly towards Gu Shengchao. The admiring look in his eyes seemed to tell him: "I believe in you, you can do it."
