The so-called layman sees the excitement, while the expert sees the door.
Judging from Tian Mang's expression, he was also quite interested in Zhao Jin's formation.
"In the Dawu Dynasty, I heard about a kung fu called the 'Phoenix Dance Seeking Phoenix Sword Technique'. It was said to be unparalleled in the world, but it has only been a legend for a long time. It is said that the descendants of this sword technique are scattered all over the country, including Beijing. Hu and Xileng Kingdoms all left traces. Even further to the west, there is a Shuangjianmen in the Shentu Department of Tianrong Kingdom. I guess Zhao Jin is also a branch that has continued." Gu Shengchao seemed to say Yun Danfengqing , in fact, he was secretly observing Tian Mang, guessing that he must have heard something.
Tian Mang stared at Gu Shengchao: "So, Brother Gu is also a descendant of one of the branches?"
Even though Tian Mang restrained his inner strength, Gu Shengchao still felt a crushing chill.
He stood up and stretched out his left hand to call out the sword: "It will not be mentioned by future generations. I learned some Phoenix Dance sword skills by chance. I don't know whether they are true or not. I asked Brother Tian to teach me."
Seeing him like this, Tian Mang felt much more relaxed.
He stood up with a smile and showed his sword. With a slight shake of his right hand, the sword split into two, holding one in each hand.
Mandarin duck sword!
Gu Shengchao had only heard about it before, but had never seen it with his own eyes. He was also curious now.
"It's embarrassing."
After saluting, he stabbed Tian Mang with the "Youfeng Lai Yi" move.
Tian Mang concentrated on guard and raised his sword to resist.
After more than ten moves, the two of them were both horrified.
Tian Mang was horrified that the ancient sage Chao's sword skills with his left hand were exquisite. It seemed familiar, but it was also unfathomable.
Gu Shengchao was shocked by the unpredictable changes in his opponent's swordsmanship, which was very different from when he faced Zhou Chenglong. The swordsmanship just now was fierce, but now it is much more elegant. It is different from the swordsmanship of Shuangjianmen, but it is indistinguishable.
The three men buried the body in the woods and walked out. They saw the two of them fighting inextricably and looking at each other in confusion.
They were as close as brothers just now, but now they have turned against each other, and they have gathered around to help, planning to deal with Gu Shengchao together.
Tian Mang's two swords strangled Gu Shengchao's left sword. The two of them were just testing and did not use their full strength.
"Brother Gu is good at swordsmanship, but I was mistaken."
"Brother Tian has superb swordsmanship, and I admire him."
The two laughed at the same time and put away their swords.
After the competition, the initial wariness was gone, and instead they became much closer.
There was continuous commotion on the mountain ridge. The patrols at the foot of the mountain had long noticed that something was wrong, and a group of people came up in groups carrying torches to check.
Seeing this, Tian Mang could only hold his hands and said: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's go back first."
"Brother Tian, be careful. I'll say goodbye first." Gu Shengchao sensed the movement around him and returned to the tent in the valley from where there was no one.
These days, Maguanshan has been pestering Gu Sage Chao to study and practice diligently. Zhou Hualiang and Long You have long been accustomed to this.
Long You was alert in his sleep. When he saw Gu Shengchao getting into the tent, he muttered, "That apprentice of yours is really eager to learn." Before Gu Shengchao lay down, he fell asleep again and began to snore.
Early the next morning, Gu Shengchao and Zhou Hualiang went to Gaotai together.
"I wonder if Zhou Taibao can be accommodating and let me pass smoothly." Gu Shengchao said deliberately.
Zhou Hualiang said with high spirits: "Don't be afraid, my uncle is here to ensure your success."
When he came to the audience, Zhou Hualiang swaggered onto the high platform, but when he came down, he was uneasy.
"What's wrong with the military advisor?" Gu Shengchao asked knowingly.
Zhou Hualiang said in a panic: "It's nothing. My uncle probably hasn't woken up yet. I'll go over and call him right now."
Seeing Zhou Hualiangshen's lack of care, Gu Shengchao was a little funny and a little pitiful.
A person with no means of restraint would have to do his best to survive in such a chaotic world.
He has been wandering around since he was a child, and his feeling that life would be worse than death is unforgettable.
Without a backer, no connections, and no resources, all on his own, it would be difficult for a normal person to reach the sky, and it would be even more difficult for a loser like Zhou Hualiang to survive.
Gu Shengchao listened to someone's words on the stage, asking all those who competed on the last day to come on stage, and then he slowly followed the crowd up.
It turned out that eleven people needed to be selected as Master Tianqing for this competition, but on the last day there were only twenty-one people left, and there were not enough people for the competition.
After discussion with several CPICs present, it was decided to draw lots.
Write ten heavenly stems on each of the twenty-one slips of paper, and write nothing on one slip of paper.
Those who get the blank slip will be automatically promoted, and the rest will be tested one by one according to the corresponding heavenly stems.
Tian Mang wrote the note and waited for the ink to dry, then crumpled it into a ball and wrapped it with a layer of paper so that no one could see whether there was any handwriting.
The paper balls were randomly thrown on the table. Everyone was nervous and excited, and they were afraid of getting the one with the words on it.
"I'll go first."
Gu Shengchao walked to the table casually, picked up a ball of paper, and opened it under the attention of everyone. There was a word "A" on it, and he was there in the first game.
The rest of the people talked a lot and got their own paper balls anxiously.
"I don't have any writing on it, so I don't have to compete."
There are so many experts in the last game, so you are lucky to not have to compete.
The one who got the blank note was jumping up and down, extremely excited.
After a short rest, Gu Shengchao and another person who also got "A" started competing.
The man danced like a tiger with a long stick, and the strong wind brought by the long stick could be felt ten feet away.
The flags placed around the high platform were swept by the stick wind, and all the flags fluttered outwards. Those watching the battle in the audience could intuitively feel his strong inner strength.
Although Gu Shengchao had the magical iron arm to protect his body, he was no longer interested in fighting. He pretended to fight for more than fifty rounds, pretending not to pay attention, and concentrated all his inner strength on his back to receive a hard blow. At the same time, he used his feet to push towards the audience. Leap away.
Amid everyone's exclamations, Gu Shengchao landed on the ground and rolled several times to relieve the force of his fall. Then he pretended to be injured and struggled to get up. He deliberately staggered a few steps and then said towards the stage: "I'm not as good as others. Those who lose are convinced.”
Ma Guanshan was under the stage, but Gu Shengchao jumped far away. When he rushed over to help him, Gu Shengchao had already stood up on his own.
"Master, you are not injured!"
The most important thing about the iron arm gate is to practice the inner breath. You are not afraid of swords, guns, swords and halberds, so why be afraid of a wooden stick.
"It's okay. If you lose, you lose. Let's sit over there." Gu Shengchao put an arm on Ma Guanshan's shoulder, and the two of them slowly walked away, away from the crowd of onlookers.
"Master, did you lose the game on purpose?"
Seeing no one around, Ma Guanshan whispered his doubts.
Gu Shengchao moved his arms and said with a smile: "Tianqing Gang is not a long-term residence. I will leave tonight, so the outcome of the game is no longer important to me."
He warned: "After I leave, you have to practice hard on your own. The rest is all up to you."
"I'm going to follow you. I'll follow you wherever you go."
Ma Guanshan said without hesitation: "I have the strength to support myself. As long as Master Gu doesn't dislike me, I still want to practice with you."
This result was beyond Gu Shengchao's expectation, and he suddenly ran out of ideas.
Ma Guanshan continued: "I know that I am stupid. Even my own father despises me. I was beaten a lot when I was a child. Only Master Gu patiently taught me kung fu. I am determined to follow you."
Gu Shengchao had no choice but to say: "It doesn't matter if you follow me, but your conduct must be upright. If you do anything sneaky and abducting that is harmful to nature, I will never let you stay."
"I will definitely listen to Master Gu and not do any evil things." Ma Guanshan promised immediately and followed Gu Shengchao happily.
It was still early, so the two of them practiced on the boulder halfway up the mountain.
After Gu Shengchao gave instructions on the essentials of movements and formulas, he sat under a tree and watched Ma Guanshan practice over and over again.
The rocks under the tree were low and uncomfortable to sit on. Gu Shengchao always felt like something was pinching him.
He touched it with his hand and found it was the small folding fan that Fang Ju had given him a few days ago.
He took out the folding fan and opened it. On one side was a picture of a beauty, and on the other side were three big characters "Happy Place".
Waving it gently, a faint fragrance penetrates into the nostrils, making people think about it.
Ma Guanshan couldn't hear Gu Shengchao's instructions, so he thought there was something wrong in his practice. He turned around and saw him looking at a folding fan in a daze, so he walked over cautiously.
"Master Gu, is there something on your mind?"
Gu Shengchao pointed the words "Happy Place" on the folding fan toward him: "Do you know this place?"
Ma Guanshan hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I know, in the county town just over the opposite mountain peak, the girls there are as beautiful as flowers. If the master likes her, the disciple will arrange a beautiful one for the master."
"roll!"
The ancient sage was angry and threw the folding fan heavily on him.
Ma Guanshan was confused, picked up the folding fan and said, "Then where did the ancient master come from for this fan?"
Gu Shengchao waved his hand: "Ignore this for now, let me ask you, how long will it take if we go over the mountain?"
"An hour."
"How long will it take if we ride a horse or a car?"
Ma Guanshan calculated: "The mountain road is winding and winding, and the ride will take at least three hours."
"Is there an inn near Happy House?" Gu Shengchao thought about his thoughts.
Ma Guanshan said: "There are many, and there is one across from Happy Place. Originally, customers came to Happy Place to have fun, but when it was full, they had to stay at the inn for one night, so the inn business is booming."
Gu Shengchao took out a few ingots of silver and handed them to him, then ordered: "You should pack your luggage now, catch my carriage and leave here to stay at the inn opposite Happy Square. I will go find you in the evening."
Ma Guanshan was overjoyed and approached and said, "Master has finally figured it out and wants to find a girl to relieve his boredom."
"Looking for a fight."
Gu Shengchao kicked him lightly: "There are so many cars coming and going at the Tianqing camp during the day that you don't stand out. There are people patrolling after dark, making it inconvenient to travel. I have an appointment with someone tonight. You go and find a room first." They and I will go find you later.”
"Understood, I'll be ready."
Not long after, Ma Guanshan came over with a small bag on his back, and Gu Shengchao led him to the BMW Zhuifeng.
Ever since Zhui Feng followed Gu Shengchao, from Beihu to Dawu Dynasty and then to Xileng Kingdom, his fierce temperament on the grassland has long been worn away. Gu Shengchao became intimate with it and let Ma Guanshan control it. Leave.
Gu Shengchao had already decided to leave, and he lay alone on the boulder on the mountainside, waiting only for Fangju to arrive at dusk, and for Shui Linglong, Zhuang Lutao and the others to find him and leave together.
