Chapter 110: Sacrifice

Li Chaoge held the sword and walked slowly in the noon sun. The village is quiet, with doors and windows closed on all sides, like a no-man’s land.

How could this be a living village? Li Chaoge should have thought of it long ago.

Li Chaoge walked slowly to a temple following the guidance of the Quest. This temple seems to be a few years old. The stone pillars outside the door have signs of damage. It seems that they have gone through several wars. The first beast on the door has been rusted, and only one pair of eyes is still piercing, staring fiercely forward. Li Chaoge opened the door cautiously and stepped in quietly.

The temple was quiet, bright sunlight shone on the ground, pale. There are four stone statues on the four corners of the courtyard. They are tall, armor-covered, holding knives, guns and swords, and guarding the temple silently. The front? It is a wide main hall, in which there are altars, incense burners, and a **** statue behind the altars.

It was midday outside, but the inside of the hall was cold and dim, and there was no sunlight. Li Chaoge stopped in front of the threshold, raised his head, followed Qingyan slowly, and saw a familiar three-eyed eight-armed idol.

It’s Valkyrie again. So this is the Wushen Temple?

Li Chaoge only glanced at it, and didn’t put too much thought on the statue of the **** of war. She once again used the Tracking Technique, the red light became bright and strong, it did not stop, and flew straight to the back of the Valkyrie Statue.

Li Chaoge walked along the silk thread into the main hall. After she walked around the statue of the **** of war, she found that the silk thread had fallen into the wall. Li Chaoge stared at the wall in front of him, and vaguely found that there seemed to be a gap between the stones.

This seems to be a dark room. Where is the opening mechanism?

Li Chaoge pinched the Jue in one hand, picked up the Qianyuan Sword in the other hand, and kept tapping on the stone. Li Chaoge was listening carefully? Every stone’s echo suddenly shivered and turned back immediately.

The old woman stood at the gate of the temple, staring at Li Chaoge motionlessly.

At this time, the line in Li Chao’s singer swayed and went out suddenly.

After the tracing technique was interrupted, Li Chaoge didn’t try again at all. She turned around holding the sword and stared at the old woman coldly.

“The tracing tactic is invalid at the foot of the mountain, is it your hands and feet?”

The old woman crossed the entry barrier. She ignored Li Chaoge’s words, but put her hands together and bowed down to the **** statue above. Li Chaoge looked at the old woman, but Yu Guang was quietly looking at the environment. The yard is hollow, and the surroundings are quiet and silent. Could it be that the old woman came alone?

The old woman knew she couldn’t beat Li Chaoge, why did she take such a risk?

The old woman was muttering something, she finished the prayer, holding on to the mat, she got up with difficulty. She stood trembling, right? Li Chaoge said: “The girl learns very quickly, but it’s a pity that she is too curious.”

When Li Chaoge heard it, his eyebrows twitched slightly: “You guys too? Know how to track down?”

“People who often go into the mountains, who doesn’t learn two skills and go hand in hand.” The old woman stood at the door, her back turned to the sun, and the wrinkled face always smiled before, giving people a feeling of enthusiasm and kindness. But now, her face is expressionless, her face is like dry skin stretched on the bones, and she looks ghostly, “Speaking of which, the girl and our village are really predestined. Now that the girl has learned the techniques of the Valkyrie, Then stay and serve the Valkyrie for life.”

After the old woman finished speaking, the whole temple suddenly shook. Li Chao Gezheng pulled out the Qianyuan sword, stabilized his body, and looked around vigilantly. At this time she was surprised to find that the samurai who she thought was a stone statue moved in the courtyard.

First the arms, then the neck?, and finally the feet. The stones on the four warriors changed rapidly and turned into real armor weapons. They jumped off the stone platform one after another, and when they landed, the ground shook slightly.

The old woman retired to the corner of the yard and respectfully saluted the four warriors: “Four warriors, this is the last sacrifice to the Valkyrie. She does not listen to her words, and always refuses to eat the holy food prepared by the old slave. , I can only trouble the four warriors.”

Li Chaoge’s face became solemn. If it is an old woman, Li Chaoge is sure to take it easily, but unexpectedly, there are still four samurai hidden here.

Li Chaoge was wondering before that the people in this village are all mediocre. Where do they have the courage to lure the living and persecute people? It turns out that their real support is these four stone statues.

Each of the four warriors held their weapons, and silently moved closer to Li Chaoge. They walked heavily, shaking off a lot of dust every step they took, and none of the four people’s skin was exposed to the outside, and even their faces were firmly protected by the facial equipment, and there were hardly any weaknesses in sight.

Li Chaoge held the sword tightly, and she suddenly used the ‘starting hand” position. The four warriors thought she was going to attack and rushed towards her with all strides, but Li Chaoge made a false move and jumped onto the statue of the **** of war.

Li Chaoge’s light skills were acquired by racing against giant eagles, and his skills are very solid. She floated lightly on a certain arm of the Valkyrie, not even the dust on her palm was disturbed. The old woman saw that she was disrespectful to the God of Valkyrie, and shouted: “Presumptuous! Dare to be disrespectful to the God of Valkyrie, don’t come down quickly!”

Li Chaoge turned a deaf ear to her. After she jumped on the statue of the **** of war, the other four warriors also seemed to have scruples. The two samurai arms tied together, and the other samurai from behind? Holding the halberd in his hand, he slammed Li Chaoge heavily. Li Chaoge ducked short, revealing the statue of the **** of war behind him. The warrior slammed back, and Li Chaoge took advantage of this gap and slashed the warrior’s neck with a powerful sword.

The samurai was covered with armor, except for a thin seam around his neck. Li Chaoge saw the right time and squeezed the Qianyuan sword to cut it towards the gap. Qianyuan sword penetrated into the gap exactly, but Li Chaoge tried his best and couldn’t even move a single bit.

It seemed that under the armor was not the neck? It was a solid stone. Even the Qianyuan sword that cuts gold and broke jade cannot hurt. Li Chaoge knew that he was wrong, and immediately wanted to draw his sword. However, the samurai slammed his body, and Li Chaoge was thrown to the ground together with the Qianyuan sword.

Li Chaoge stood firm immediately when he landed, but attacks from all around followed. These four warriors are infinitely powerful, invulnerable, and they cooperate with each other tacitly, as if they have been trained for thousands of years. The samurai holding the sword struck him with a sword, Li Chaoge raised the Qianyuan sword to block, his arm was shocked and he lost consciousness. At this time, another samurai holding a spear and spear attacked from behind. Li Chaoge was restrained by his hands and could only body. Flip in midair, avoiding the spear and gun.

Li Chaoge’s body is soft and flexible, and the sharp spear almost wiped Li Chaoge’s back waist. As soon as the spear and spear passed, a square halberd was cut in midair, and Li Chaoge landed lightly, using the momentum to skilfully pass through the gap in the attack. She dashed out of the encirclement, and after only one round, Li Chaoge’s clothes got wet on the back.

This is the strongest opponent Li Chaoge has encountered in his two lifetimes. Li Chaoge was not optimistic in her heart. She armed her sword with one hand, and the sword was full of majestic fighting spirit, and the four warriors also put away their contempt, and the four formed a formation and gradually approached Li Chaoge.

Li Chaoge scanned the surroundings vigilantly, looking for an opportunity to do something. She suddenly felt dizzy, and the four armors in front of her shook. Li Chaoge tried his best to resist, but to no avail, she quickly lost consciousness and fell to the ground with a bang.

Before she lost consciousness, she saw two armors stopped in front of her. This kind of armor is very old. Li Chaoge has only seen scattered descriptions of this kind of armor in history books. He didn’t expect that it was actually like this.

Li Chaoge felt that someone snatched Qianyuan sword from her hand. She didn’t want to let go, but her limbs were limp, and she couldn’t use her strength at all. Li Chaoge felt her palms empty, and she also exhausted her last strength and plunged into darkness.

·

Li Chaoge was practicing in the house. Gu Mingke wanted to protect her not far away, but a familiar breath suddenly came from the mountains and forests. Gu Mingke frowned deeply. He didn’t alarm Li Chaoge, he went to the mountains and forests to find out.

Gu Mingke was alone, moving extremely fast, and suddenly walked out of a hundred miles. He searched for a long time and found no trace of the deceased.

Standing in the deep mountains, Gu Mingke looked at the withered forest in front of him, suddenly realized that something was wrong, and immediately walked back.

But when Gu Mingke returned to the yard, there was no one in the house. Li Chaoge didn’t know where she went, her luggage was still left, but Qian Yuanjian was gone.

He didn’t bring his luggage, but he took Qianyuanjian away, which shows that the incident happened suddenly.

Standing in the room, Gu Mingke slowly covered the corners of the table with frost, twisting it into sharp icy edges. Gu Mingke’s breath was surging around his body, and his sleeves were still dancing. He slowly raised his eyes, his eyes filled with deep cold, like a storm on a glacier, destroying the sky and the earth, unstoppable.

In the woods, a samurai took the lead and walked fast in the forest. The person behind him was holding a sword upright, and at the end? Two warriors, one behind the other, carrying a coffin. It is already deep in the mountains, with few people visiting, trees and vines entangled with each other, the roots of the trees on the ground are tangled, withered grass is everywhere, and it is almost impossible to walk.

However, the four samurai walked here as if walking on the ground, and their speed was not affected in any way. They hung their heads and drove on silently, even though there were only four of them now, no one spoke.

Suddenly, the samurai who opened the way in the front stopped. He felt the danger, his body tightened instinctively.

Under the bushes ahead, a man in white stood with his hands behind. The cold wind was rustling, and his clothes fluttered with the wind, and there was a faint streamer leaping across the wind. The surrounding trees flared their teeth and claws, and the branches and vines twisted together savagely, and he was dressed in white, slender and dusty, incompatible with his surroundings.

He turned his back to them and seemed to wait for a long time. Hearing the sound, he slowly turned around.

When the samurai saw his back, he secretly tightened. When he was right? Fang turned around. The four samurai saw his face and became more and more disturbed: “Who are you?”

Gu Mingke gazes across the samurai and stops directly on the coffin behind. The coffin was motionless, but her Qianyuan sword was held by the samurai. If she was still conscious, she would never let the sword leave her hand.

Gu Mingke’s eyes became cold unconsciously. If it was said that his coldness in the past was a cold pool of still water, then the coldness at this moment is that sharp ice thorns have formed in the lake, and the sky has whistling frost and snow.

Gu Mingke didn’t answer the samurai’s question. He looked at the four samurai quietly with a pair of black eyes. Under the calm surface was a huge iceberg: “Put her down.”

The four samurai glanced at each other, posing an attacking attitude. This? It’s a sacrifice for the Valkyrie, and there shouldn’t be the slightest mistake. Seeing their attitude, Gu Mingke didn’t say a word, and gently opened his right hand.

court death.

The Qianyuan sword held by the samurai suddenly shook violently, and the samurai was shocked and quickly pressed it down. However, Qianyuan Sword seemed to be summoned by some kind, broke free of the samurai arm with a hum, and rushed to Gu Mingke’s hand with a forward momentum.

The leading samurai suddenly widened his eyes, and he felt familiar just now. Now, he finally knows where the inexplicable sense of familiarity comes from.

The leading samurai looked at Gu Mingke and said in shock: “You are…”

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a burst of sword light. The armor of the samurai is invincible. Just now, Li Chaoge couldn’t cut it with all his strength, but now, the armor of the samurai was like paper, and it cracked every inch when it hit Gu Mingke’s sword spirit. The samurai was smashed to the back? After breaking four trees in a row, he barely stopped. The samurai fell to the ground in embarrassment. The tightly fitted armor had been broken into pieces. The clothes on his chest were obviously invisible, but bloodstains continued to gush out, dampening the clothes.

It turned out that it wasn’t that there were no scars, but that the sword came out too fast and the wound was too thin, so no traces could be seen. The samurai opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he vomited out? He took a mouthful of blood, and even the syllables were too late to pronounce? He fell to the ground.

As the samurai fell to the ground, his body turned into pieces of rubble, except for a clean, flat, invisible incision on his chest.

Gu Mingke held the sword in one hand, hunting in a white suit. The Qianyuan sword in his hand kept humming, which was the natural induction of the fierce sword when it encountered the intent to fight. The stronger the killing intent and fighting intent, the louder its sword roar.

The amplitude of the Qianyuan Sword’s vibration now was much more intense than when Li Chaoge was holding it. Thin blood snaked down, the sword spine flashed with a strange red light, and the blood on it quickly disappeared.

The remaining three samurai did not expect that the strongest swordsman among them was killed before even a round. The three of them were shocked and immediately used their full-frame skills. The three of them, you enter and I retreat, cooperate tacitly, and act like one person. It’s a pity that before Gu Mingke’s face, no matter how precise the cooperation is, the other two samurai were cut off quickly, and the last one was bitterly blocked. He held the halberd across, struggling to hold Gu Mingke’s sword. The samurai looked at the cold and indifferent faces of his predecessors, and the corners of his mouth kept bleeding out, but there was no fear of death in his eyes. He opened and closed his mouth and said dumbly: “It is my honor to die in your hands.”

The samurai opened his mouth and wanted to call out? That name, but Gu Mingke had already wiped his throat with a sword.

With a bang on the ground, the tall samurai opened his eyes and fell heavily on the ground before solidifying into rough stones. The look on his face was frozen, and it turned out to be happy.

Gu Mingke killed four warriors at once, but there was no trace of blood on his body. He has always been a gentle scholar since he came down to the world, and he has always spoken with people slowly and slowly. Those hands seemed to be born? They belonged to books and pens, but I didn’t expect that when they held the sword, they suddenly became murderous and violent.

Qianyuan sword screamed constantly, as if he had met an old friend, very excited. However, there was no nostalgia for Fang, and as soon as he changed hands, he threw it into the scabbard.

Gu Mingke moved his wrist lightly, but he didn’t do it for a long time, and he was a little strange. He ignored the mess, and immediately walked to the coffin as soon as he received the sword.

With a flick of Gu Mingke’s palm, the coffin lid bounced far away. Gu Mingke lowered his head and saw Li Chaoge lying quietly inside, his eyes closed, his face calm, his hands folded in his abdomen, he looked like he was asleep. Gu Mingke lowered his head and whispered, “Li Chaoge?”

Gu Mingke called out several times, but Li Chaoge didn’t move. Gu Mingke didn’t dare to be careless, leaned over her back and legs, and quickly picked her up.

Qian Yuanjian lay alone on the ground and hummed when he saw it, reminding Gu Mingke that it was still here. Gu Mingke glanced at it lightly, and said coldly, “I’m keeping up.”

After Li Chaoge fainted, she didn’t know how long she slept. She felt wind and noise around her, but she couldn’t wake up. In a daze, she heard someone calling her name, her voice was cold and continuous, and she was very familiar.

Li Chaoge tried his best and finally woke up after chasing that voice. She opened her eyes with difficulty, just such a small movement? It almost exhausted all her strength. Li Chaoge touched his surroundings subconsciously, unexpectedly touching a cold metal touch with his fingers.

Li Chaoge raised his head laboriously and found that it turned out to be Qianyuan Sword. She covered her eyebrows with pain, she clearly remembered that before she fell into a coma, the group of people snatched the Qianyuan sword from her hand.

Why did Qian Yuanjian return to her again? Where is this place again?

Li Chaoge hadn’t even figured out the result, but the sound of walking came from outside. A chill of air came from far and near, and quickly stopped by her bed.

Li Chaoge saw the familiar white corners and asked dumbly, “Where is this?”

“This is a mountain cabin. It should be used by Orion for the night? The back? It was abandoned for some reason.” Gu Mingke sat down gently, helped her sit up, and asked, “Is it better?”

Li Chaoge leaned on the pillow and nodded weakly. She still couldn’t use her strength, those people didn’t know what medicine was given to her, the effect of the medicine was so overbearing. Li Chaoge scanned the surroundings. It was a very simple wooden house. There were no furnishings in the room, but fortunately the roof and walls were still solid. Half of the bowstring and dry animal skins hung on the wall. It looked like Gu Mingke said it was an abandoned stronghold.

After Li Chaoge made sure his surroundings were safe, he ignored his hoarse voice, and asked, “Me? What’s wrong?”

“You were drugged by the people in the village.” Gu Mingke sighed and said, “It was me? Negligence. I was accidentally caught by their plan to move the tiger away from the mountain, which made you suffer.”

Li Chaoge shook his head. The situation at the time was unpredictable. Even if Gu Mingke was not taken away, the old woman would always look for a chance, right? Li Chaoge started. Something? Has happened? There is no point in investigating the right or wrong.

Li Chaoge slowed down for a while, but he still couldn’t save energy. She couldn’t help wondering: “What kind of drug is this, and the effect is so great?”

“This is not an ordinary drug, but ancient voodoo. It needs to be used? A special secret recipe solution.” After Gu Mingke finished speaking, he paused for some reason and said, “The solution is a bit troublesome, I don’t know if you want to.”

Li Chaoge thought that she had become like this, no matter how troublesome it is to detoxify, what else is willing or not? Li Chaoge asked: “What a troublesome method?”

“You need to use a unique herbal medicinal bath, combined with acupuncture, to force voodoo out of the meridians.” Gu Mingke was inexplicably hesitating and vomiting. It took a long time to finish a sentence. Several times, it can be completely resolved.”

I need a medicinal bath… Li Chaoge looked around and frowned, “It’s winter now, where can I find those herbs?”

“I have already picked the medicine.” Gu Mingke pointed out the window and said, “It is drying outside, and it can be used now.”

“But there is nothing to boil water here, how do I prepare a medicated bath?”

“There is a natural hot spring not far away, probably because? For this reason, Orion built the cabin here.”

Li Chaoge was silent after listening. She stared at Gu Mingke quietly, Gu Mingke turned her face, Guangfeng Jiyue looked forward, her face couldn’t be more serious. Li Chaoge stared at Gu Mingke’s long and thick eyelashes, and said, “Since you are all ready, then ask me? What do you do?”

During her coma, Gu Mingke prepared the materials, hot water, and venue. That being the case, why bother to ask her the same? Different? What?

Gu Mingke pursed his mouth and said nothing for a long time. Li Chaoge moved, but was still weak, she was helpless? Gu Mingke said: “Okay, don’t linger, help me? Go to the medicinal bath.”

Li Chaoge sat in the hot spring, the water was filled with the smell of sulfur, and there was hot water to activate the blood, and Li Chaoge finally felt some strength in his limbs. Li Chaoge sat cross-legged, and said behind him, “I’m ready.”

During acupuncture and moxibustion, the meridians are dredged and blood flow is accelerated. If the heat cannot be discharged in time, it is easy to get lost. Therefore, when acupuncture and moxibustion, the whole body clothes are often removed. Li Chaoge is still sitting in the hot spring, and the blood flow will only be faster. But Gu Mingke is a man, and Li Chaoge really can’t take off his whole body clothes, so he can only leave his close-fitting clothes and sit in the hot spring with his back facing him.

Medicine was added to the spring water, the heat was surging, and Li Chaoge’s slender and tight legs could be vaguely seen. She had only a tube top on her upper body, and her hair was loosely rolled up, revealing a slender neck, swan-like shoulders, and looming butterfly bones.

Down again, is the beautifully curved back. She has been practicing martial arts all year round, and her body is covered with a thin layer of muscles, and she can see slender muscle lines on her back. The arc suddenly tightened at the waist, and the waist was white and tight, without a trace of cellulite. Further down, is the dangling water surface.

Li Chaoge waited for a while, she was soaked in the hot springs, and she didn’t hear the movement of the people behind her. Li Chaoge couldn’t bear it and asked, “What are you waiting for?”

Gu Mingke endured the embarrassment and walked slowly to the hot spring. After approaching, her skin became clearer, and Gu Mingke didn’t know where to put her eyes. Gu Mingke’s voice became low at some point and said, “Sorry, it was abrupt.”

In fact, Li Chaoge is also very embarrassed. If Gu Mingke had an attitude of doing business and practicing medicine to save people, Li Chaoge would be more calm. But he turned to the left and right, and Li Chaoge was also embarrassed.

Li Chaoge was only fortunate that she was sitting with her back facing? Gu Mingke, Gu Mingke couldn’t see the expression on her face. Li Chaoge coughed softly and tried to use the calmest and coldest voice, saying: “Before the life or death, you don’t need to care about the subsection. Let’s get started.”

Gu Mingke responded, “Okay.”

Li Chaoge suddenly realized that this is the hut where the Orion temporarily settled, and I’m afraid he won’t store needles and threads. Herbs can be harvested freshly, and hot springs are readily available, but needles cannot be replaced. Li Chaoge asked: “What if there is no needle?”

“It’s okay.” Gu Mingke reached out and stopped on the surface of the water. Following his movements, a few drops of water rose from the hot spring, spinning in the air, and finally condensed into ice needles. These needles are slender and sharp, with a cold light at the top, and are of different lengths, lengths, lengths, lengths, and thicknesses, which are much finer than artificial needles.

Li Chaoge’s last doubt? Let go. She closed her eyes slightly and said, “I? Ready, let’s start.”

Gu Mingke lowered the needle very quickly, and his fingers barely touched Li Chaoge’s skin. Li Chaoge only felt a stab in his back, and then there was a burst of coolness, and the Zhen Qi in the corresponding acupuncture points suddenly became alive. I don’t know if Gu Mingke’s ice needle is thin enough or he is getting the needle fast enough, Li Chaoge actually doesn’t hurt much.

Li Chaoge couldn’t help being distracted. He said that as long as the sword is fast and ruthless, the person killed will not feel the pain. Li Chaoge originally thought it was an exaggeration, but now thinking about it, it may be true.

Gu Mingke quickly pierced the acupuncture points on his back. Li Chaoge felt the movement behind her stopped. She waited for a while and couldn’t help asking: “What’s the matter?”

I don’t know if it’s because of the heat, Gu Mingke’s voice is a little distorted, which is very different from his usual cold voice?: “To completely detoxify, you need to stick to the front acupuncture points.”
