Chapter 40 We are all our own people

Jiang Yihong asked, "Senior Qi, if my people can learn this sword technique within one day, can they obtain your inheritance?"

"can."

After getting a positive answer, he motioned the person next to him to come over.

The man walked to the wall and looked at the carvings on it. His confident expression became a little more serious.

There was silence in the cell.

Jiang Yihong glanced at Gu Mingchuan and said, "Xining, I heard an interesting story recently. The Gu family in Minglong Mansion actually produced a young hardworking cultivator who broke through from the third level of true qi to the Gangyuan realm in just half a year."

"It is said that the appearance of this man made other families feel uneasy, so they sent young people from their families to deliberately approach this ascetic monk. Who would have thought that this ascetic monk had no taboos in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. It was also a strange thing."

When Wang Xining heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Gu Mingchuan, thinking that this man was indeed lustful.

Jiang Yihong continued, "Come to think of it, the name of that ascetic monk is exactly the same as your friend's, also called Gu Mingchuan..."

Wang Xining said expressionlessly, "Yes, the ascetic monk you mentioned who indulges in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling without any taboos is him."

Jiang Yihong pretended to be surprised and said, "It's really the same person. This is the first time I've seen a living ascetic monk. Your friend is not quite the same as the ascetic monk in the legend."

At this time, Qi Wu, who was hanging in the air, suddenly spoke up, "Are you a member of the Minglong Gu family? Who is Gu Yunze to you?"

These questions were obviously directed to Gu Mingchuan.

He said, "Senior, do you recognize my fourth grandfather?"

The clan leader, Gu Yunze, is the fourth child in the family. All people of the Ming generation can call him "Fourth Grandpa."

Qi Wu said, "He is my fourth brother's registered disciple."

"..."

Gu Mingchuan remained silent. He suddenly became several generations younger.

What should he call Qi Wu?

Uncle Taishi?
Forget it, I'd rather not pursue this relationship.

……

At this time, there was movement outside the door again. This time, two soldiers came down with a prisoner.

Those who can be imprisoned on the fifth floor are not ordinary people. They should be the ninth leader of the Black Bull Village.

Judging from the noise, the Ninth Master was being held in the next room.

After the two soldiers left, an excited voice came from next door, "Uncle Wu, you are really locked up here!"

Fifth uncle?

Gu Mingchuan suddenly had a bad feeling.

Qi Wu was a little confused, "Why do you call me Uncle Wu?"

"Uncle Wu, don't you remember me? I'm Hao'er."

"Hao'er?"

For the first time, Qi Wu's voice showed some emotion. He said in disbelief, "You are Fourth Brother's son, Hao'er?"

Gu Mingchuan felt even more awkward when he heard this.

Well, another great uncle has appeared.

I only heard "Hao'er" next door excitedly say, "Uncle Wu, I finally found you. I have been looking for you for so many years..."

As he spoke, his voice was choked with sobs.

Qi Wu said in a somewhat shocked and angry tone, "Hao'er, how did you get caught here?"

"I let them catch me on purpose. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to enter the fifth floor of this prison. Uncle Wu, tell me, what happened back then? Why did you all disappear overnight? Where is my father?"

Seeing the two of them chatting as if no one was around, Gu Mingchuan couldn't help but interrupt them and said, "Hey, you two, if you want to reminisce about the past, why don't you wait until we leave?"

Jiang Yihong and Wang Xining beside him were both shocked and felt a little ashamed that their self-control was not even as good as his.

They were indeed curious just now and wanted to know why the Five Heroes of Jiangdong disappeared and why Qi Wu was imprisoned here.

There must be a big secret hidden in this.

However, this big secret involving the strong ones on the Heavenly Ranking would do them no good at all if they knew it.

Only the swordsman was staring at the knife marks on the wall, fascinated and indifferent to what was happening in the cell.

……

Qi Wu said bitterly, "Hao'er, why are you doing this? You're just sacrificing yourself for nothing."

Haoer said, "Fifth Uncle, now that I'm here, I'm sure I can leave. Please wait a moment, and I'll come and rescue you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of several people in the cell changed.

Before they could react, they heard a loud shout, "Break it for me!"

An extremely terrifying sword energy burst out.

Wang Xining and Jiang Yihong screamed at the same time, covering their eyes with their hands, tears of blood streaming down their faces. They were actually injured by the sword energy.

Gu Mingchuan seemed to see a sword flying towards him, and his intuition told him that no matter how he dodged, he could not avoid the sword, so he closed his eyes and waited for death.

Then, he felt a sharp pain in his head, and it took him a long time to recover.

Qi Wu was surprised and said, "The sword intention of the supreme master!"

The Supreme Grandmaster is the respectful title people give to those who are strong in the Dharma Image Realm.

Over there, Hao'er's somewhat weak voice came, "This is a wisp of sword power that my elder brother lent me, and it is sealed in the little finger of my left hand. Haha, everyone says that the prison of the Demon Suppression Division is so terrible, but I, Qi, can come and go as I please, right?"

As he spoke, his figure had already appeared at the door of the cell, and his left little finger was broken and bleeding. Gu Mingchuan turned his head and saw the murderous intent in the eyes of the evil man, and immediately shouted, "Little brother Gu Mingchuan, meet you, senior brother."

Qi Junhao raised his hand and asked coldly, "Who is your senior brother?"

Gu Mingchuan said seriously, "I am the last disciple that Master Qi just accepted. Your father and Master Qi are sworn brothers, so you are naturally my senior brother."

"Uncle Wu, is this your new disciple?"

Seeing that he was very sure of what he said, Qi Junhao turned around and asked Qi Wu who was hanging in the air.

Qi Wu looked at Gu Mingchuan.

Without waiting for him to speak, Gu Mingchuan used his palm as a knife and demonstrated a set of sword techniques in the cell, with a total of twenty-four variations.

He swung out twenty-four times in one breath, and the knife energy slashed on the wall on the other side. The marks left were exactly the same as the knife marks on the wall over there.

Qi Wu suddenly raised his head, a terrifying light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a lost voice, "You actually learned this knife in such a short time?"

Gu Mingchuan said, "Senior just promised that if I can learn it within one day, you will pass on your skills to me. You will naturally be my mentor."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Qi Wu shouted "good" three times in a row, showing how excited he was. "I never thought I could have a disciple like you."

……

When Qi Junhao saw that his fifth uncle personally admitted that this person was his apprentice, he knew that he was one of his own.

Then he looked at the other people, ready to silence them.

At this time, Wang Xining and Jiang Yihong, who were injured by the sword, also recovered a little. Feeling the murderous intent in each other's eyes, they felt a little despair in their hearts.

The sword intent just now was too overbearing, and it almost shattered all the energy in their bodies. Now they had no power to fight back, and they were blind, so they could only wait to die.

"Wait a minute, brother."

At this time, Gu Mingchuan spoke up, "This is my fiancée, please show some mercy, senior brother."

Wang Xining felt someone helping her stand up, and a hand pinched her lower back. She felt ashamed and angry, but she also knew that it was a matter of life and death, so she could only suppress her shame and shouted, "Gu Lang, save me..."

After she finished speaking, her face felt like it was on fire, and even her ears felt hot.

Qi Junhao said, "Since she is my junior brother's fiancée, let it go. I'll kill these two people--"

Gu Mingchuan hurriedly said, "These two people can't be killed either. They are... my sworn brothers."

This is a witness who can prove that he is not in collusion with Heiniuzhai.

If these two people died, he would have no other way out except to join the Black Bull Village.

"……really?"

"Of course, otherwise, why would we come here together? Don't you think so, brother?"

Jiang Yihong, who was sitting on the ground, had a fierce psychological struggle, but in the end, his desire to survive overcame his self-esteem, and he shouted, "Big... Big Brother."

Gu Mingchuan changed the subject in time, "Brother, let's find a way to rescue Master first."

Qi Junhao shook his head and said, "The four iron chains on Uncle Wu are made of cold iron from outer space. Without the cultivation of the Dharma Image Realm, they cannot be cut. The sword intent that my eldest brother left for me has been used up."

"What should I do?"

Qi Junhao shook his head and said no more. He sat cross-legged on the ground, practicing Qigong and regulating his breathing while saying to Qi Wu, "Uncle Wu, is my father also imprisoned in a big prison?"

Qi Wu said, "That should be the case. I don't know exactly where he is being held."

Qi Junhao asked, "What happened back then?"

"Let's talk about this after we can escape from here. Gu Mingchuan, come here, I will teach you the skills now."

"it is good."

This was exactly what Gu Mingchuan wanted. He didn't want to know such a secret. It would do him no good and he might even be silenced.

It’s better to learn the skills first.

As Gu Mingchuan got closer, he heard Qi Wu's voice transmission, "I will now teach you the Xuanjin Zhengong. I got this skill from the bottom of the river. Along with this secret book, there is also a sword manual."

"I hid these two things at the bottom of the river. The specific location is..."

He felt something was wrong. Why did it sound like a last will?
Soon, Qi Wu began to teach the contents of his technique.

Gu Mingchuan had no choice but to listen attentively so as not to miss any important content.

In a flash, several hours passed.

After Qi Wu explained the technique in detail, he asked him, "Have you memorized it all?"

Gu Mingchuan glanced at the panel and saw a new "Xuanjin Zhengong" skill. He said with satisfaction, "I've memorized it all."

Qi Wu added, "Someone once said that this technique has some flaws and seems incomplete. It is extremely difficult to practice it to the Dharma Image Realm. The best way is to find a technique with earth attributes and use the principle of mutual generation to break through the shackles of this technique. It's a pity that I haven't been able to find a suitable technique."

Gu Mingchuan thought, earth produces gold?

Coincidentally, my "Xuanshui Zhengong" is of water attribute, and with "Xuanjin Zhengong", it means that gold gives birth to water.

No wonder Wang Xining said that it is necessary to collect all five types of skills, which will complement each other and form a perfect closed loop.

Qi Wu continued, "As for the sword technique, you can practice it on your own after you find the sword manual. If one day you can break through to the Dharma Image Realm and master this sword technique, I hope you can help me kill someone."

"Kill who?"

"Xu Changlin!"

"??"
