Chapter Fifty-two: The Green Jacket Cavalry

  Liáng Xīn was so happy that he almost floated away, and Láng Yáo laughed from a distance: "Not yet, wait a bit longer, I'll call you when it's done!" While saying this, she gently shook the rabbit on the rack to change its position, continuing to roast it. From time to time, she would secretly put a small piece of meat skin into her mouth to taste the flavor.

  Song Hongpao muttered a sentence: "What a pity, only two rabbits, not enough to fill the gap between my teeth!" As he spoke, his eyes repeatedly measured Hei Ba Wuchang's body, who was still unconscious, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

  Liang Xin was startled and looked at Song Hongpao's appearance, saying that he liked to eat human flesh, which was not surprising at all.

  Song Hongpao smiled and pointed at Zheng Xiaodao, who was still asleep, saying: "Xiaodao's skills may have a chance to escape if he encounters a second-step cultivator, but if he encounters a third-step cultivator, he will definitely die. But forty days ago, he fought you to a draw, do you know why?"

  Without waiting for Liang Xin to speak, Song Hongpao gave the answer himself: "Gu! Relying on Gu sorcery! Seven-star Gu can greatly increase a person's strength in a short period of time. However... Gu insects are yin and evil, and after each use, they need to be nurtured for a while."

  Liáng Xīn suddenly realized, and asked: "The 700 disciples of Tiān Cè Mén also relied on Gu technique to enhance their strength, and combined with the military formation to block the Wàn Jiàn Cháo Zōng killing array?" Sòng Hóng Bào's expression dimmed, his feelings for Tiān Cè Mén were extremely deep.

  Xuan Pei Ke patted his shoulder and said softly: "Life and death are separated, but we will meet again in the next life!"

  Song Hongpao nodded his big head, shook off his hesitation and continued: "It's not just the Gu technique and the formation, every seven years on September 26th, for some reason the Gu worms will become even more violent, and the power of the Gu technique will be greatly increased. We also chose today as the day to implement the Gu technique for this reason."

  Then, Song Hongpao changed the subject, and his face regained its original sinister and ugly expression. He said: "The Western Barbarian's Gu and the Northern Wilderness' Wu are also two of the world's greatest magical arts. The true skill of the Tian Ce Gate is actually Gu!"

  In the west of Zhongtu, on the other side of Kunlun Mountain, there was a barbarian tribe that served Xie. They relied on the strange techniques of insects to increase their strength and had all sorts of sinister and cunning spells. Thousands of years ago, the Western Barbarians were swallowed up by Xie's heart and launched an unprovoked attack on Zhongtu.

  Because of the witchcraft, their army almost swept across the world. At that time, the imperial court was defeated and had no power to fight back. The war in the Central Plains was rampant, but in the end, it was still the scattered masters of the Central Plains who gathered together voluntarily and formed an elite army. They fought head-on with the Western Barbarian Witch people several times, sacrificing their lives to slow down the advance of the Western Barbarians.

  The Gu's counterattack was extremely fierce, and after the Western barbarians were held back, they began to slaughter each other on a large scale. The Central Plains elite troops took advantage of this opportunity to turn the tide and win a great victory.

  The elite troops of the Central Plains crossed the Kunlun Mountains, all the way into the Western Barbarian territory, and finally completely destroyed the enemy's lair. All records related to Gu sorcery were also burned to ashes, and the art of Gu sorcery was lost forever.

  The military laws studied by the Tiān Cè Mén, as long as they have appeared on the battlefield, most of them will have some understanding. Although the Xī Mán were eliminated early on, there is still a part of Gu worms that was learned by people in the Tiān Cè Mén."

  To outsiders, Tian Ce Men's cultivation seems to be only military tactics, but in fact, the true secret technique of the sect is actually derived from the insect magic of the Western Barbarians!

  At this time, Song Hongpao took out a nameplate of Qingyi from his pocket and stuffed it into Liang Xin's hand.

  This nameplate was different from the ones he had seen before. There was no indication of the courtyard or his name on it, only the words: Under the jurisdiction of Jiulong, Qingyi Youji

  Qing Shi and Liu have also carefully introduced the various positions of the Jiulong Temple, the Qingyi Youji is a shadow, the official position is not smaller than the Da Zhanggui of each major temple, nor is it larger than the ordinary Qingyi Bingwei, the Youji does not belong to anyone's jurisdiction, only listening to the command of the Jiulong Temple General Commander.

  The dwarf smiled, looking more like a ghost than a human: "I was originally just a green robe, only listening to Lord Liang's words, whether it's moving mountains or killing people, as long as he tells me what to do, I'll do it."

  At this time, Qu Qingmo let out a sigh from the side and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "What kind of person is Lord Liang after all?"

  Qu's ancestors went through many generations just to help him overturn the case; Liu Bu Xiu Shi, a master of the Da Zong realm, an evil cultivator from the icy tundra, went undercover for 300 years just because of his one sentence; and there is this dwarf in front of him with a face full of murderous aura, who would probably curse even if he saw the Buddha, yet only listened to Liang Yi's orders.

  Xuan Bao Xiao laughed and said: "This is Mr. Liang's skill, as long as you spend some time with him, after a while, everyone will admire him!"

  Liang Xin's heart was filled with admiration, but in his mind, he still couldn't conjure up the demeanor of his ancestors. Smiling, he casually said, "Grandfather has great magical powers, naturally making people surrender."

  It turned out that Xuan and Song both shook their heads, and Xuan Baoyu said solemnly: "What makes me admire Mr. Liang is not his magical powers or his broad-mindedness, but his... that kind of arrogance and righteousness, being ruthless to his enemies and treating his own people like brothers, and daring to think and do anything."

  Song Hongpao also nodded, laughing and responding: "He's just a madman, he never asks if it can be done, only whether it should be done! So the things that come out of following him are all things that should be done, but look like they can't be completed. Following him, Song Hongpao has only two words: Exhilarating!"

  Awesome!

  Liang Xin's eyebrows danced with a smile, he indulged in daily extravagance and calculated silver coins, wasn't it also for savoring the flavors of human life, for pleasure.

  The land of China is home to many talented individuals, aside from warriors and cultivators, there exists another group of people with extraordinary powers: the Tian Quan. When Liang Xin first encountered the sudden attack by Xie Yan in the mine, he saw that among the nine dragon green robes, there were indeed masters of this kind. Some could summon beasts, some could divine and strike, while others possessed fiery arms... Their abilities varied greatly, with powers differing in magnitude. However, compared to cultivators' divine abilities, theirs still fell short by a great margin.

  Song Hongpao is a heavenly favored person, but his capital is: Heaven's Gifted Body.

  Others practice Gu worms with slow progress and risk being counter-attacked; Song Hongpao refines Gu worms, not only is the speed incredibly fast, but there is also no danger at all.

  At that time, looking around the world, there were only some remaining Gu techniques in the Tiān Cè Mén, so Liáng Yī èr sent him to enter the Tiān Cè Mén.

  For alchemy, Zheng Xiaodao can only be considered a mid-to-high level talent. Under his technique, he could still draw with Liang Xin, not to mention Song Hongpao who was born with the body of a heavenly alchemist. He studied at Tian Ce Men for 20 years and his strength increased explosively like a ladder to the sky, from a ruthless and sinister mortal to a fierce disciple that even ordinary cultivators would retreat in fear. However, this qualitative leap is unimaginable for ordinary people, but when facing high-level cultivators, he still falls short.

  At that time, Song Hongpao had cultivated to the extreme and could only barely cope with a five-step practitioner. Such progress would be astonishing in the world of cultivation, but it was not enough for the heavy responsibility that Liang Yier shouldered. Song Hongpao was anxious in his heart and even more diligent in studying the remaining insect skills in the Tian Ce Men. After busy coming and going, he finally restored a incomplete insect skill: Du Huo.

  Duó Guī, able to seize others' power and turn it into one's own use. However, the prerequisite is that the person being seized must have three souls incomplete, seven spirits unwhole, having a heart but no wisdom, foolish yet not stupid...

  Song Hongpao polished and polished, adding up all the fools in the whole Central Plains, estimated that it would not be enough to upgrade himself by one level.

  Unexpectedly, soon after, Liang Yi actually found a person with a missing mind but abundant true yuan inside and secretly sent him to the Tian Ce Gate!

  At this moment, Liang Xin also understood, pointing at Eleven who was still holding the large wooden box, and asked in surprise: "Is it him?"

  Song Hongpao nodded slowly: "The identity background of this person, even Mr. Liang is not clear, it was his elite Qingyi who found the wild man in the mountain ditch. Only know that he calls himself Eleven, and hugs a trunk box, never allowing others to touch it."

  Song Hongpao also shook his head with a bitter smile: "I wanted to use the insect curse technique to take away his strength, I was already guilty towards her, that box he regarded as his life, of course I wouldn't force him to open it and take a look."

  Since he had the eleventh, Song Hongpao's skills have made new progress, starting to approach the realm of five-step completion, until a few years later, Liang Yier came to Tian Ce Men again and gave him a secret order.

  At this moment, Song Hongpao's face showed a bewildered expression, and the innate cruelty entwined with it for a moment, becoming an indescribable horror: "The master gave me a secret order, he wants me to assassinate him once every time I make progress in my cultivation, a genuine assassination!"

  Liáng Xīn was suddenly enlightened, but also a head of fog. Lǎo Shū Liáng Fēng said that Sòng Hóng Páo was an assassin, and it came from this. But why did Liáng Yī èr want to do so?

  Song Hongpao's voice became much lower: "Of course, there is a lot of bitterness in the adults' hearts. I don't ask for the reason, and I will do it willingly! Hey, Liang Yier, whatever he says, I'll do it!"

  Eleven's life before was unknown, with a true yuan hidden in his body like the vast ocean. Song Hongpao guarded a golden mountain, but unfortunately, his pocket was too small, and each time he could only take away one cow hair out of nine. Although everything went smoothly, it was absolutely impossible to eat a fat boy in one mouthful.

  In Song Hongpao's impression, that one battle with continuous wind and habit was the second-to-last assassination.

  Not long after, he made his last covert calculation of Liang Yier, still unable to succeed. At that time, Liang Yier's face was worried, and after defeating Song Hongpao, he said in a low voice: "In two months, come and kill me again. If you can kill me, go to the Suffering Mountain to find Guan Nanshan, he will give you a jade box. Open it and take a look, and you will understand what to do next. If you still can't surpass me, then help me with another thing... we'll talk about it later."

  Liáng Xīn's two eyebrows were almost tied into a knot, Sòng Hóngbǎo saw that he had an unusual expression and asked him with a hint of puzzlement: "What's wrong?"

  Liang Xin recounted his experience on this side to the two seniors, and finally shook his head with a bitter smile: "In that jade box, there was only one dry human skull, not even a word or phrase."

  Song Hongpao's triangular eyes widened, and his words were also unreliable: "You're saying... Lord Liang left me a human head? This... this is considered a prize?"

  Xuan Paojiong suddenly let out a loud roar, using all his strength to slap Song Hongpao's head with his palm: "I don't know if it's the prize or not, but I can guess what Liang Yier will make you do if you fail to assassinate him this last time: he'll have your family escorted to Monkey Valley! Song Big Head, Song Shorty, Song Ugly Ghost, you've made Old Liang's death a restless one!"

  With a thud, Song Hongpao fell head-first to the ground.

  Liāng Yī èr indeed had this intention, but he was deliberating. If Sòng Hóngbǎo's last assassination attempt failed, it wouldn't be too late to entrust his family then. However, including Sòng Hóngbǎo himself, no one expected that this big-headed dwarf would not reappear for two months.

  Because Song Hongpao... trapped herself!

  At this point, Song Hongpao suddenly burst into tears.
