Gu Qiying, after all, guarded against this sword.
The moment before the sword hit him, he raised his right arm to block and resisted the sword's path.
Although his arm received a cut that cut deep into the bone, at least there was only a not very deep gash on the side of his neck.
His life was saved, but he lost this round of confrontation.
Because Gu Qiying did not rely on his own judgment to prevent the sword, but relied on instinct; it was the instinct of fear and years of combat experience that made his body move on its own, protecting him. The fatal vital point was saved.
Leaving aside skills and experience, in terms of moves alone, Lin Yuancheng's move made Gu Qiying feel inferior.
There are many swordsmen in the world, but there are only two swordsmen that Gu Qiying can take heart to, and today... there is one more.
"There is such a person among the younger generation..." Gu Qiying guided the Gu in his body to stop his bleeding, while looking back at Lin Yuancheng, who was already in the wrong body with him, and thought to himself. , "In vain, I have always had a high self-esteem. It turned out that I was just sitting in a well and looking at the sky. I didn't expect that there is such a person in this world who is born for the sword and whose destiny is destined..."
He was still sighing in his heart, Yun Shi Li had already killed him from another direction.
Feilong Chengyun, Yunluo Tianwang, Qingyun Wanli... The three moves of the Magic Cloud Sword are launched in succession, each move is progressive, and the power is overwhelming.
Seeing the situation, Gu Qiying gave a deep shout, first he took a hesitant step, and made a double shadow; then he made a move of phoenix spreading its wings, showing a wave of palm power.
With his strong internal energy, he faced the knife and faced Yun Shili tit for tat.
The two of them fought together, their swords coming and going, their internal energy running, and in an instant they tore countless ridges and cracks on the ground around them.
In this case, it is difficult for others to get close to them. Just standing within five meters of them may be accidentally injured or even killed.
However, there are still people who will attend.
As long as your martial arts skills are good enough or you are lucky enough, you can ignore those things.
Besides, Gu Qiying is not so scary at this time...
By this time, in fact, all the masters who are near first-class or above have seen it. Where is Gu Qiying's upper limit? No matter how strong he was at his peak, he is not strong enough now.
Internal injuries have a great impact on people. To use specific numbers as an example, it is like your peak combat power is 1,000, but after suffering internal injuries it becomes 900, but this does not mean that The impact of this internal injury on you is just a reduction of 100 combat power, which should actually be counted as a 10% reduction.
As the battle progresses, your internal strength continues to be consumed, and the impact of internal injuries continues to increase. Therefore, your combat power itself slowly decreases from 1,000 to 900, 800, 700...and your On this basis, internal injuries will reduce your combat power by 10%, 11%, and 12% of 1000...
AbsolutelyThe internal strength of top masters should be very abundant, not to mention inexhaustible, but at least every time the little Zhou Tian in their bodies runs (it is generally believed that one round of breathing with the unique breathing method of the internal skills and mental methods they practice, The internal power generated by Zhou Tian) is quite amazing. As long as their physical strength is not exhausted, it is basically unlikely that the internal power will be exhausted.
But Gu Qiying's physical strength has not yet been exhausted at this moment, and her internal strength has bottomed out.
Every time he takes a breath, he can feel that the internal energy he generates is decreasing, and his internal energy is running less smoothly in his meridians. All injuries and burdens are accumulating like a snowball.
Even though he had gritted his teeth and gained momentum before, this kind of bluffing maintained by overdraft would undoubtedly come at a price...
Now that he has been defeated, Many people saw that he was at the end of his strength, so they all wanted to come forward and get a piece of the pie; even if they cut him with a knife or scratch his skin, it would be considered a share of the credit, which could be used as bragging rights in the future.
"He is dying! Everyone, come together! Kill him!"
Just when Yun Shili gradually gained the upper hand, someone among the besiegers suddenly shouted this.
These words won the hearts of everyone, and the righteous high-level bosses suddenly became energetic and swarmed forward, with fists, feet, and swords coming out.
In one moment, Gu Qiying was struck by more than ten blows in a row, including punching, slashing, whittling, chopping, and chopping. He had eaten them all.
No matter how strong his body is and how amazing its self-healing power is, it can no longer keep up with the speed of this kind of injury.
However, he still stood firm, and with a loud shout, he used his last breath of Dantian Qi to blast away those who gathered around him, sending them flying several feet away and causing them to flip over.
Even Yun Shili was forced back several steps by Gu Qiying's explosive blow, and he stumbled a few times before he could stand still.
At this time, Lin Yuancheng in the crowd... had already turned around and walked away.
Because for him, there is nothing to see next.
What he wanted to see was a contest of skills between masters, not dozens of people surrounding a dying man.
If the latter can learn the essence of martial arts, then Lin Yuancheng does not need to learn martial arts. He can just go to the fish market every day and watch the bullies grab territory.
Of course, he also gained something tonight - when he saw the Huanyun Sword Technique earlier, he suddenly realized a sword move.
It was the same technique he used on Gu Qiying before.
Just now Lin Yuancheng attacked Gu Qiying from the front, for no other reason than to actually use the sword moves he had just learned while the inspiration was still there.
As for your question, isn't he afraid of trying his own death when he uses a top-level master like Gu Qiying to try new tricks? Then I can only say that at that moment, he really didn’t think too much...
Compared with things like life and death, he was more concerned about the fleeting inspiration about sword moves that would fade away. , scattered.
A peerless swordsman should be like this.
"Huh...just because of you...you want to kill me?" On the other hand, Gu Qiying, whose face was already covered in blood, laughed again, "just because of you... You are worthy of killing me!" But the second part of his sentence was an angry roar.
Before I finished speaking, suddenly!
Gu Qiying turned around and rushed towards the north, that is, the direction of the Tianqi Gang's gate.
"He's going to run away!"
"Don't let him run away!"
"Stop him!"
Shouting this The people who spoke were all from the side and rear of Gu Qiying.
The people on his charge route were all thinking: This guy might be trying to drag people to death together, so don’t drag me along.
Of course, Gu Qiying cannot run away. When he makes such an action of burying his head and rushing forward, it means that the door behind him is wide open. Those who specialize in using hidden weapons, or Anyone who knows how to use hidden weapons will never miss this opportunity.
Puff puff puff puff...
In just one breath, more than a dozen hidden weapons of different shapes and sizes had pierced Gu Qiying's back.
But Gu Qiying showed no signs of stopping. He ran forward like a bull, using the wind of his hands to clear the way. Those on his path did not dare to block him, and they could not block him at all. They could only scatter to both sides and retreat...
Soon, Gu Qiying arrived at the Tianqi Gang's In front of the south gate.
At this time, the originally grand and thick door had been blackened by the flames, and the courtyard inside the door was a sea of fire, with thick smoke and flames rising into the sky.
Gu Qiying, whose whole body was riddled with holes, came to the door without slowing down, roared and slammed into the door.
Immediately afterwards, a "bang" was heard, the door panel shattered, and Gu Qiying rushed into the sea of fire.
"Ah——"
The martial arts people who were chasing after them stood outside the fire scene and looked inside the door. They saw...the whole body was ablaze in the fire. Gu Qi danced in the fire like a burning ghost, and let out a shrill roar.
This process lasted about thirty seconds.
Thirty long seconds...
Even many of the people who participated in killing him just now couldn't help but look at him sideways when they saw his miserable state at this moment.
In the end, Gu Qiying fell down, stopped moving, and stopped making any sound...
He and the "Tianqi Gang" were engulfed in the fire and turned into ash.
What he never understood was: in fact, when Gu Qizong was buried in the sea of fire twelve years ago, the Tianqi Gang had already died along with the gang leader.
And he and Shen Youran were just the shadows and ghosts of Gu Qizong, the shadows beneath the majestic figure of that generation of heroes.
It’s not that the world cannot live without Gu Qizong, it’s just that the two of them... cannot live without Gu Qizong.
…………
August 17, afternoon.
After most of the finishing work in the morning, most of the open flames were finally put out.
Last night, the hundreds of Jin Yiwei called by Yun Shili did not help to surround and suppress Gu Qiying. Instead, under his instructions, they ran to the east, west and west of the "Justice Gate" main helm. Beisanmen went to organize the people to put out the fire.
Facts also proved that his decision was correct.
If it weren’t for these officials to take the lead and the people themselves would have to rely on themselves, there’s no telling what the fire would be like.
Let me mention it a little bit here - Dashu is relatively poor in firefighting technology.
What do you think was used to put out fires in ancient times? water?
Many TV dramas seem to do this... I saw a large group of people collecting water in wooden buckets and passing the water out in small buckets from wells or water tanks. During the transfer process, half the bucket is first poured out, and then handed over to someone standing at the edge of the fire, two meters away from the flames, and asked to pour it in that direction...
How about fun?
Even in modern times, if a house of tens of square meters catches fire, it will take a certain amount of time to put it out with a high-pressure water gun; in Dashu, most houses are made of brick and wood structures, and there are many fire points. , When the fire covers a large area, the possibility of putting it out with buckets of water is very small... This is why the imperial palace of the Zhao Dynasty was often struck by lightning and a large area was burned down.
In that era, the most effective fire-fighting methods were actually "digging" and "demolition."
To put it bluntly, it means digging trenches around the fire scene, setting up fire prevention lines, and then quickly demolishing the flammable wooden houses, thatch sheds, etc. that are connected to the fire scene. If necessary, use sand. Bury it, and then dig a trench on the edge of the ruins...
When everything inside the fire line is burned out and the fire does not spread, the fire will naturally go out after a while.
However, it is difficult for ordinary people to accomplish these things without anyone’s organization and command; therefore, many large fires at that time were burned for more than ten hours and burned. Several streets were completely burned out, or it just happened to rain before it could be extinguished.
On this night, the people of Luoyang City were lucky. Although the Zhengyi Gate was large, it was surrounded by walls. Outside the walls were streets and there were no residential buildings connected to them; in Jinyiwei After they arrived, the fire was relatively smoothly controlled within the area of the main rudder, and it was completely burned out by the morning.
The fire in another place in the city, that is, the fire on the No Return Building was not bad, because there was only one fire point there, so it was put out before the fire burned out of the No Return Building... If the fire really gets serious over there, two or three streets may suffer.
At this point, the conspiracy instigated by Shen Youran and Gu Qiying and carried out through the quadrennial "Young Heroes Meeting" has finally come to an end.
As for Shen Youran's death, Sun and Huang also told their colleagues in the world. With Chunkong and Liu Yikong testifying, no one suspected that they were making it up. But after all,Who took Shen Youran's head... is still a mystery to these martial arts practitioners.
As for the "Bliss Gu"... Actually, it is not something difficult to understand if you know how to understand it.
There is something called "Baicao Shuang", also known as "Ashe under the Moon" and "Ink under the Cauldron", which is the smoke and ink attached to the bottom of the pot or the chimney after burning weeds. Use this , paired with extremely spicy chili peppers, any type is allowed, the spicier the better, and then consumed with ginger soup. A moment and a half after drinking, while these things are still in the stomach, get a knife with a very wide blade or some other iron tool, polish the surface until it is shiny, and then use your fingernails on it. Scratching back and forth... If you can make the same sound as nails scratching across a blackboard or glass, you are considered a success.
If you still don’t know whether you did it right, then remember - as long as you feel uncomfortable and your scalp is numb when you hear that voice, you have done it right.
Using the above method twice a day, morning and evening, for three days, you can eliminate all the Bliss Gu in your body. Of course, if you are worried... you can extend it to five or ten days.
This method of unblocking the poison seems quite inexplicable to people of this era, but Huang Donglai can understand it, because the principle of the Bliss Gu's attack is similar to a "resonance" of a specific frequency. effect, so it has little to do with people's own hearing; the current method of killing Gu insects is also related to making sounds of specific frequencies, which is very reasonable.
…………
By the evening of that day, half of the remaining more than a hundred martial arts practitioners had left Luoyang City in a hurry.
Of course they are very anxious.
Not to mention that Luoyang is a place of trouble and trouble, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time. The key is that such a big thing happened, and they must go back as soon as possible to report it to the door.
Furthermore, many sects died in the battle that besieged and killed Gu Qiying, and those who were still alive had to rush back with the corpses of their fellow sects to report the funeral; and those who had a long and short journey back Those who can't make it back in time can only find a coffin shop in Luoyang, where they can first pack up the corpses of their fellow sect members, and then Feige will send a letter to report the matter to the leader, who will then decide how to deal with it.
In addition, there are still some people who have not left...mostly because they have doubts about the method of removing the poison provided by Huang Donglai, so they stayed.
Although they all understood that Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were already their saviors and there was no need to lie to them, because this method of undoing the poison was indeed too weird, they were all worried that Huang Donglai had seen it wrong. or was deceived.
Therefore, those who stayed decided to stay in Luoyang for three to five days, strictly follow the method Huang Donglai said every day, and let Huang Donglai use Gu again in front of them after five days. Ling, check to see if the poison has really been removed before leaving.
And if that method doesn’t work, they can quickly think of other methods.
Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie didn't mind them doing this. After all, it was a matter of life and death, so it was always right to be cautious.
AgainOr, they couldn't have left in the first place.
On the afternoon of August 17, they were sent to the Yamen by the two "adults" Yun Shili and Shui Hanyi, saying that they had "important matters" to discuss with them.
