The three servants stood in front of Mrs. Zhang with faces of shame and told Mrs. Zhang everything that had happened.
Of course, they concealed it. In the end, they were tricked by Gu Cheng, and after catching up, they found out that it was all a matter of Kongma.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang did not scold them, she just felt a little chilly all over.
That little beast... Gu Cheng, when did he become so powerful? When did he become a practitioner?
The most important thing is that I don’t even know this!
Thinking of the innocent smile on Gu Cheng's face before in the house, and respectfully calling his aunt every time he saw her, at that time, he had already known what he wanted to do, but he had been holding back. With.
"Let the tiger return to the mountain."
Mrs. Zhang let out a long sigh.
In the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, she is the eldest lady second only to Mrs. Gu, and sometimes she even speaks more effectively than Mrs. Gu.
But her influence, even including her natal family, cannot affect Donglin County.
………………
On the rugged mountain road, Gu Cheng carefully distinguished some traces of people's travels and groped forward.
He is lost.
After escaping from the inn, because time was tight and Gu Cheng was still injured at that time, he could no longer care about anything and directly chose a direction opposite to the three servants and galloped away. As a result, he ran into the mountains and was completely lost. Got the road.
His horse also broke its leg due to a missed step, and Gu Cheng could only fumble his way out of the forest on his own.
After killing Han Ting and Wu Qianxing, Gu Cheng gained a lot.
In addition to some scattered silver, these two people also had one thousand taels of silver notes each. Gu Cheng guessed that this was the price they paid to kill him? That was indeed not low.
His second uncle's general's salary was only five hundred taels per year, and the combined salary and rewards of an ordinary soldier did not exceed ten taels per year.
Of course, there are still some businesses in the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, and they will not live solely on salary, but these businesses are almost all controlled by the Zhang family.
Han Ting's long sword was taken over by Gu Cheng, and he actually had a skill on him. To be more precise, it was a sword skill called the Spell-Breaking Sword. This immediately made Gu Cheng extremely happy.
Tie Tianying gave him the martial arts summary, but it was only for laying the foundation and did not contain martial arts moves.
The Spell-Breaking Sword is an extremely sophisticated sword technique. It may seem like a simple sword technique when performed, but it is ingenious and can handle a variety of martial arts and can be switched at will.
The essence of the Breaking Sword lies in the word "Po". The book on the Breaking Sword is very thick. It actually records a bunch of methods for other different styles of swordsmanship, swordsmanship, boxing and even some Xuanmen secret techniques.
Summarize these coping methods, use the least amount of force to exert the maximum power against the enemy, abandon those fancy techniques, and return to nature.
During this time, Gu Cheng has also been studying and practicing the Spell-Breaking Sword, practicing while traveling.
Anyway, he is now as high as the sky, allowing birds to fly, and the sea is as wide as fishes can jump. There is no threat for the time being, and he feels much more relaxed.
Gu Cheng didn't find any skills at Wu Qianxing's place. He only had a few bottles of elixirs, which were black and smelly and had no names. Gu Cheng didn't dare to use them indiscriminately.
Maybe his weird black stiff arm is the result of his practice and is his biggest trump card.
That thing was in Gu Cheng's black jade space, and Gu Cheng also discovered that he could summon the black arm like a ghost in his heart.
However, the black arm was not summoned separately. Instead, his arm was instantly replaced by the black arm. It even shocked Gu Cheng when he used it for the first time.
But the consumption of this thing was greater than that of the inner ghost. Gu Cheng just threw two random punches and felt that his mental energy was being consumed like running water.
And after devouring the black jade arm, Gu Cheng also discovered a very bad change in the black jade space.
The space is full.
Although it was all pitch black and seemed endless, when Gu Cheng entered the black jade space again, he felt a strange feeling of fullness.
That is a kind of feedback from this space to Gu Cheng. The meaning is very obvious. This place can only hold the inner ghost and the black arm. If it is swallowed again, it may burst.
This discovery made Gu Cheng's heart sink.
This black jade space is his trump card. This time he was able to escape the pursuit, thanks to this thing.
But there was no instruction manual for this thing, and Gu Cheng didn't know how to use it. If it was full after just swallowing these two ghosts, he would be in big trouble.
Although the ghost of the heart and the black arm are very useful to Gu Cheng now, what about in the future?
If there is no way to eliminate the connection between the two ghosts and the black jade space, then Gu Cheng's trump card will probably be completely useless in the future.
Gu Cheng didn't think much about such a bad thing, he could only take it one step at a time.
It was already dark now, and after a while, it would be impossible to see even one in the mountains and forests.
There was a dilapidated mountain temple just ahead, and Gu Cheng was going to rest here for the night.
Pushing open the dilapidated temple door, the paint on the face of the mountain god statue faded and dissolved, making the already somewhat weird mountain god statue appear even more ugly and ferocious, with a green face and fangs, like an evil ghost.
Gu Cheng didn't have any scruples.
After traveling for more than a month, he experienced two killing scenes. No matter how evil the ghosts and gods are, they are still human beings. Can they be more evil than the human heart?
Gu Cheng bowed casually to the mountain god statue twice: "I'll lend you your place to stay for one night and make you more popular."
He found some dead wood and lit it on fire. Gu Cheng's package also contained some flour and biscuits, so he could save it for a few days.
He was just baking dry and hard dough over the fire when a noise came from outside.
"Miss, there is a temple in front of us. Let's rest here tonight."
The door of the ruined temple was pushed open, and eight people walked in one after another.
The leader was a middle-aged man dressed as a guard, and it was he who spoke just now.
Behind him is a young woman wearing a white gauze skirt. She has a pretty face and graceful eyebrows. She has the air of a lady.
The woman was accompanied by an old man wearing a brocade robe. Although he was very neatly dressed, he was half a step behind the woman. His figure was slightly bowed. He should be a housekeeper or something like that.
The remaining five people were surrounded by guards equipped with swords, bows and crossbows.
The guard leader looked at Gu Cheng in the temple, and he couldn't help but frown: "Boy, I have women here, so it's a bit inconvenient. I'll give you a couple of silver coins, how about you give up this place?"
At this time, the young lady hurriedly said: "Uncle Lin, he obviously came here first, how can we let him out?"
As she said that, the young lady nodded lightly towards Gu Cheng: "If my family members do something inappropriate, please don't worry about this young master."
"It's not easy even if you have nothing to do when you are away from home."
Gu Cheng touched his chin and smiled.
Being so well-behaved saves me the opportunity to show off, which is a pity because I really don't have much aura as a protagonist.
At this time, the housekeeper ordered a few guards to find some more dry firewood and raised the fire even more. Not long after, two more groups of people came to the small mountain temple.
The first person who came in was a young scholar who was carrying a baggage and looking slightly pale.
Just as the scholar entered, another man and a woman also entered the temple.
The man and woman were both wearing close-fitting samurai uniforms, carrying bamboo hats and carrying baggage, with long swords hanging from their waists. They looked like standard Jianghu people.
The man looked proud and had an ordinary appearance. Although the woman was not beautiful, she was cute and cute. She followed the man obediently. They didn't look like a husband and wife, but they were brothers and sisters.
Gu Cheng glanced around the mountain temple, twitching the corners of his mouth and revealing an unpredictable smile.
