Chapter 9
In the adult world, people often say one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes.
Gu Cheng sneered in his heart, but pretended to be happy on the surface, and bowed with his fists:
"Thank you for your cultivation!"
"Hmm..."
Tang Baihu nodded slightly, said some encouraging words, and finally approved two days of leave for Gu Cheng, and sent him away.
After the young man walked away.
Tang Yuan looked at the direction where Gu Cheng left, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
Instead, he looked sinister and unhappy.
"Humph, this kid is really lucky!" Tang Baihu snorted coldly.
At this time, a short and fat young man who looked a bit like Tang Yuan walked in.
After looking around the door for a few times, he quietly closed the door and said to Tang Yuan anxiously:
"Uncle, how come that pretty boy surnamed Gu is back alive? This is different from what you said before!"
"Didn't you tell my mother before? As soon as he dies, let me inherit his father's organization..."
"Don't worry! Jinnian, I know what's going on, uncle."
Tang Yuan comforted him softly, feeling quite irritable.
In fact, he had long noticed that there was something fishy about Wang Lin.
Last time, he sent Gu Cheng to spy on the enemy, with the idea of killing someone with a borrowed knife, to induce Wang Lin, the traitor, to go and inform on him, and kill that stupid boy directly.
As long as Gu Cheng died, he would make a little operation afterwards and change the sky and the day.
He could let his nephew Zhao Jinnian inherit the iron rice bowl of the Gu family, which could be inherited from generation to generation, and embark on a smooth road from then on.
Unfortunately, man's plans are not as good as God's plans.
A powerful demon hunter intervened and completely ruined his plan.
"Don't worry, he can hide on the first day, but not on the fifteenth!"
"I have promoted him to the general flag, and the main responsibility of the general flag is to go outside the city to solve the demon problem!"
Tang Baihu's mouth corners slightly raised, and his smile was very sinister.
"It just so happens that there is a very difficult case right now.
As long as we cut off the beginning and the end, conceal some key information, and then let him go to deal with it..."
"Don't say that the boy is a waste of knowledge and skills, even if a master of Qi and Blood Realm comes, it will be the same!"
"Great! Uncle, you still have a way!"
After listening to Tang Yuan's calculations, Zhao Jinnian immediately clapped his hands in admiration.
Then he had a flash of inspiration, thought for a moment, and whispered:
"Uncle, since this case is so dangerous, whoever comes will die, so can we trap one more person?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Tang Yuan picked up the teacup.
"You don't know, there is a new troublemaker in the government office recently. He is arrogant because of his good talent. He is very annoying!"
Zhao Jinnian narrowed his eyes and looked sinister:
"You can send him to the command of that pretty boy, so that you can get rid of him at the same time, killing two birds with one stone!"
"Troublemaker? Oh, you mean 'Xiao Yun'?"
Tang Yuan paused while drinking tea, glanced at his eldest nephew, and looked strange.
As far as he knew, Xiao Yun had fled from other places.
Both his parents died in the monster disaster, leaving only a little sister in the family, who was pretty and lovely, and pitiful.
In order to protect his sister from being harassed, Xiao Yun fought with outsiders and became famous.
Zhao Jinnian was one of the people who was beaten.
Now he wanted to arrange Xiao Yun to come in, obviously with the intention of avenging his personal grudge.
"Okay, let's do as you say."
After thinking for a while, Captain Tang nodded gently, not taking it too seriously.
He is just a newcomer without a backstage.
Since you have offended my nephew, you have already found a way to die!
-----------------
While the uncle and nephew were secretly conspiring.
Gu Cheng first went to the canteen of the government office to get a free lunch, and then went straight back to his own courtyard.
It was late autumn at this time.
No one had cleaned it for a few days, and the withered yellow leaves had already covered the entire courtyard, which looked deserted and bleak.
Gu Cheng stood quietly in the center of the courtyard, looking around, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
The mother of the previous life died early, and the father was busy with official duties all day, so he neglected to discipline his son.
Over time, the previous life became more and more self-indulgent, and eventually grew into a playboy who was addicted to alcohol and sex and had a bad temper.
"Alas... If a son is not taught, it is the fault of the father."
Gu Cheng sighed and shook his head, and walked into the room.
He put the token given by the female demon catcher into the cabinet.
Then he took out the "Wind and Thunder Sword Art" and began to read it carefully.
Gu Cheng had a vague guess in his heart about what Tang Baihu was planning, but he was not interested in thinking about it.
Anyway, let that fat guyWhat kind of calculations are there.
As long as Gu Cheng can become stronger by spending his life, he can use his absolute power to break all conspiracies and tricks!
Therefore, finding ways to improve his strength is his top priority.
"Hehe, you are really worthy of being the eldest lady who ran away from Yunzhou City. You are generous when you make a move."
"The sword techniques you give away casually are all rare masterpieces!"
Gu Cheng flipped through the pages of the book, and was amazed in his heart.
With a hundred years of experience in sword training, he almost saw the exquisiteness of this sword technique at a glance.
He immediately stopped hesitating, opened the system panel, and poured the remaining life into the "Wind and Thunder Sword Technique".
[First year: You began to practice the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique. As a master of swordsmanship, you quickly understood the key points of this sword technique, and the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique broke through the "Small Success" realm. ]
[Third year: You strike out like the wind, and the sword force is faintly filled with the meaning of wind and thunder. The Wind and Thunder Sword Technique breaks through the "Mastery" realm! 】
"Oh? In just three years, you have already broken through to the third realm?"
Gu Cheng showed a happy expression. It seems that the more than 100 years he spent on the Iron-Cutting Sword Technique was not in vain.
Martial arts are not like the equipment in RPG games. Every time the equipment is updated, the old equipment is completely useless.
It emphasizes learning by analogy and accumulating knowledge.
Deeply studying a martial art can not only make you kill a lot in the current realm.
It can also lay a solid foundation and pave the way for practicing more advanced martial arts in the future.
Just when Gu Cheng was full of confidence and thought that the next realm would also break through rapidly like a broken bamboo.
The progress of practice on the panel suddenly stopped.
...
[Thirty-third year: You practiced hard and comprehended the meaning of wind and thunder day and night, but you still couldn't find the way. ]
...
[Fifty-seventh year: After years of hard practice, you still haven't found the key to breakthrough. ]
[You can't help but doubt your life: Am I really a fool? 】
"..."
Gu Cheng's mouth twitched twice.
His martial arts talent can only be said to be average, not dull, but definitely not very good.
This "Wind and Thunder Sword Art" is much more difficult to practice than ordinary martial arts, and it is obviously a bit beyond the scope for him.
"Damn it, I really don't believe it!"
Gu Cheng looked determined, like a non-African who couldn't get the card in the mobile card game, and he was a little overwhelmed.
Seeing that he had more than 300 years left in his remaining lifespan, he immediately continued to throw it in without reservation.
Krypton life is actually very similar to krypton gold.
If you krypton for a long time and can't make a splash, it only means that you haven't krypton enough!
As the number behind the remaining lifespan decreases rapidly.
After stagnating for a long time, the progress of practice on the panel finally ushered in new progress.
[133rd year: You suddenly had an idea and tried to fly a kite on a thunderstorm day, wanting to experience the meaning of wind and thunder in person. ]
Gu Cheng: ? ? ?
[134th year: You were struck by lightning, seriously injured and dying, but suddenly you had an epiphany, and your Wind and Thunder Sword Technique broke through the ‘Great Completion’ realm! ]
Gu Cheng: ! ! !
…
[184th year: You carefully cultivated for fifty years, finally recovered, and began to continue to practice the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique. ]
[Because you were struck by thunder, you have a deep understanding of the meaning of wind and thunder, and your practice speed is advancing by leaps and bounds. ]
[185th year: You swung your sword, thunder rolled, like a thousand birds singing, and the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique broke through the ‘Perfection’ realm! ]
[Qi and Blood·Wind and Thunder Sword Technique: Perfection]
[Remaining life span: 181 years]
