Chapter 120 Zoroastrians! Bloodthirsty Axe!
Time passes slowly.
Gu Sheng silently hid in the darkness, waiting for the arrival of the Zoroastrians.
The night breeze of Qingping Lake was chilly, and Gu Sheng was silently thinking about how to deal with it later. He had already asked Wang Chong about the Zoroastrian cult-like code of communication, but how to get the bone-protecting pill still needed a little bit of help. plan.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Not yet ugly.
Suddenly there was the sound of strong wind rubbing reeds in the distance. Gu Sheng looked intently and saw two figures in black coming one after another from a distance. They didn't know what they said, but one of them also sneaked in quietly. Hidden deep in the reeds.
The other one was waiting on the side of the lake with his hands behind his back.
Gu Sheng couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes.
This Zoroastrian was careful enough. Not only did the two of them meet together, one in the dark and the other in the light, they also arrived in advance, so that if there was any change, they would be caught off guard.
He remained calm and did not rush out.
Continuing to observe, they saw that neither of the two people made any movement, just waiting silently.
When it was almost ugly, Gu Sheng quietly groped far away, and then deliberately made some noise and flew towards the lake.
The man in black on the lake side looked at him like a hawk, Gu Sheng lowered his voice and said:
"The holy fire is blazing, burning my remains!"
The man in black's eyes flashed, and he also shouted in a low voice:
"If you are not stained with the holy fire, you will not have eternal life!"
Gu Sheng's eyes showed surprise and he continued:
"As expected, you are brothers from the Holy Cult. I, Wang Daniu, have finally contacted you!"
He rushed over and landed on the opposite side of the man in black. The man in black was wrapped tightly, with only a pair of eyes exposed. He was very alert. The purple flame logo on his chest and the blue flame logo on Gu Sheng's chest were vaguely visible. A sharp contrast.
Seeing Gu Sheng's enthusiasm, the man in black acted uncharacteristically and said coldly:
"You were the one who left the mark of the Holy Fire in Canghe County last time?"
Gu Sheng's eyes froze and he said sarcastically:
"It's me..."
The last person I contacted was Wang Chong, but he had already been killed.
Before he finished speaking, the man in black suddenly shouted:
"As a member of the Holy Religion, how could you not know that casual contact is a taboo? The Holy Religion is dormant now. If someone discovers the traces, you know the consequences!"
Last time, he was waiting at the joint, but by the appointed time, he didn't even have a hair on his head, so he was naturally angry.
In fact, this anger was also feigned.
He was extremely calm and silently observed Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng seemed a little frightened:
"My lord, please forgive me. It's not that I did this on purpose, but because I had to break the appointment because of an accident last time..."
The man in black said calmly:
"So that's it. Brother Wang Chong contacted me at this time. Who do you want to see?"
Gu Sheng fell to his knees with a plop, even more frightened.
"My lord, you are joking. I am just a member of Blue Fire. How can I be qualified to meet those adults? I am here to report something important!"
There was no wave in his heart.
He knew that this person was testing him. The Zoroastrian Cult had a strict hierarchy. Only members of the Purple Fire were qualified to meet higher-level core members. If Gu Sheng said that he wanted to meet, it would be a mistake.
Gu Sheng could clearly sense that just now, the energy and blood of the man in black and the man in the dark in front of him were gathering like crazy. If he showed any flaws, what he was waiting for was a thunderous strike!
Although I am not afraid, my hope for the bone-protecting pill will be dashed.
And Gu Sheng also sensed the cultivation level of the two people from the vague fluctuations of Qi and blood just now. On the surface, this person is a master of blood refining, but in the dark, the Qi and blood of the person are more secretive. Nine out of ten are blood refining. Perfect state!
The man in black finally softened his tone and said casually:
"We are all brothers. I'm serious. I think my brother's cultivation is extraordinary. Once you make contributions, it will be easy to be promoted to the Purple Fire. By the way, how many days did you last for the Holy Fire Ceremony?"
Gu Sheng's eyes showed confusion.
"Sir, you are joking. How can we and other peripheral members have the honor to perform the sacred fire ceremony?"
He knew that this sacred fire ceremony was a special ceremony that only core members of the Zoroastrian Cult could perform.
The man in black finally helped Gu Sheng up and laughed:
"Surely he is my brother from the Holy Cult. I wonder where he came from to reach the territory of Canghe County?"
Gu Sheng said respectfully:
"My subordinate moved to Canghe County after the war in Yunzhou two years ago. He has been dormant since then. Now that he has obtained useful information that will help the great cause of the Holy Sect, he is anxious to contact you. I hope you can report it to the core master. We decide.”
The man in black's eyes narrowed and he said:
"Tell me about it."
Gu Sheng did not hesitate, he already had a plan in mind.
"Your Excellency has been in Canghe County and must be aware of the current situation. The Heisha Gang and the county magistrate Liu Yuanhu are on the same level. His subordinates have been lurking in the Heisha Gang and have become Zhao Honglie's secret agent. He once revealed that he wanted to find strong support. idea.”
"I am sure that if I follow the temptation, the entire Black Sand Gang can become the prey of my Holy Religion!"
His voice was fanatical, like a fanatical believer who risked his life for the cause of the Holy Religion.
The man in black across from him breathed heavily, stared at Gu Sheng and said:
"Are you sure that Zhao Honglie is not as hostile to our Holy Religion as those ignorant fools?"
"I'm sure! Zhao Honglie has praised the chaos in Yunzhou more than once. This person is not an ordinary person. If someone introduces him to the Holy Church, he may be a great help in the future! The situation is urgent, so I contacted him specially. This is a great credit to both you and me!"
The man in black opposite fell into deep thought.
After several attempts, Gu Sheng was able to deal with it easily. He is undoubtedly a member of the Holy Church, but it still needs to be carefully considered to take the Black Sand Gang into his pocket.
But there is no doubt that he is very tempted.
Introducing a master of the Bone Refining Realm with his own power into the Holy Church is a great credit. When his own cultivation reaches a certain level, he may even have the hope of performing the Holy Fire Ceremony and becoming a core member!
"In that case, find an opportunity to reveal the existence of the Holy Church and see if he is willing. If so, next time I meet him in person, you can offer him conditions. If he is willing to join the Holy Church, the Holy Church will help him through this crisis."
"Yes, I obey your order!"
Gu Sheng's voice was extremely enthusiastic.
"Anything else?"
The man in black asked.
Gu Sheng was shocked and finally revealed the real purpose of this trip.
"I have something to ask for. My cultivation is almost stagnant now. I want to buy bone protection pills through the channels of the Holy Church."
After that, Gu Sheng looked at the man in black cautiously. If there is anything wrong, strike first!
The man in black was stunned and looked at Gu Sheng deeply.
"It seems that you have made a lot in the Black Sand Gang in the past two years. Your cultivation is not bad."
He didn't expect that Gu Sheng's cultivation was higher than his, but he probably knew why Gu Sheng suddenly contacted him. He didn't care about him for the past two years. It sounds good to say that he was dormant, but in fact he was half-detached.
Now he reconnected, it turned out that he lacked cultivation resources!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, feeling a little superior. Although Gu Sheng's cultivation was higher than his, he still needed to be made by him. The warriors in these small places were just scarce in resources.
Although bone protection pills are also precious.
But it is not too difficult to buy it outside. After all, having a bone-protecting pill does not mean that one can break through the bone-refining realm. There are many people who have used a lot of bone-protecting pills but still cannot break through.
He said lightly:
"The Holy Church naturally has bone-protecting pills, but you are a member of the Blue Fire. You can buy a maximum of three pills within a year. The price is the same as outside. One pill is three thousand taels. Three pills, ten thousand taels."
Three pills!
Gu Sheng couldn't help the excitement in his heart and said respectfully:
"Then please buy three pills, sir."
He understood the meaning of the man opposite him. He just wanted a kickback. Otherwise, who would be a good person and give three thousand and three pills ten thousand.
Seeing Gu Sheng come up, the man in black nodded with satisfaction.
"It seems that you are doing well in the Black Sand Gang. Let's do this. You go and find out Zhao Honglie's background in these seven days. We will meet again in seven days. I will bring bone protection pills then."
"Yes, sir!"
"If there is nothing else, leave. Don't contact casually unless there is something important. The Holy Church is different now. You need to be careful and dormant."
Gu Sheng's heart moved. He responded respectfully and flew away.
After a while.
The reeds shook slightly, and another tall man in black appeared. The first man in black immediately saluted respectfully:
"Sir!"
The tall and strong man in black nodded slightly, his eyes looking into the distance.
He is the person with the highest status among the peripheral members of Canghe County.
"Sir, do you think what this person said is credible?"
"It should be credible. He is basically familiar with the secret code and the situation of the Holy Church. He should have joined the rebels during the previous Yunzhou Rebellion, but it is not certain how loyal he is to the Holy Church."
He sneered.
He pretended to be dead for two years, and then contacted the Holy Church when he encountered difficulties in cultivation resources. He looked down on this kind of person from the bottom of his heart. If Gu Sheng had not told him useful information about the Black Sand Gang, he might have planned to take action.
"The Black Sand Gang... If I can recruit them, I can become a core member of the Holy Church when I advance to the Bone Refining Realm!"
The man's eyes were excited, and he ordered:
"Go and find out about the Black Sand Gang in the next few days. If this person is using false information to deceive the Bone Protection Pill, he will die a miserable death!"
There was murderous aura in his words.
Although Gu Sheng was also a perfect cultivator in the Blood Refining Realm, he had already made more than half of the progress in bone tempering, which was not comparable to the average perfect cultivator in the Blood Refining Realm. What's more, he had helpers, so he could definitely control it.
The first black-clothed man nodded respectfully and said hesitantly:
"The bone-protecting pill..."
"Let's prepare first. Wang Daniu has good cultivation. If he is sincere to the Holy Church in the future, he will be a good helper. However, we must make good preparations in seven days and bring two more people. If he has any ulterior motives, we can capture him at any time!"
"Yes, sir!"
"At that time, you can take one thousand taels of silver in addition to the six thousand taels you handed in."
"Thank you, sir!"
After the two men finished their discussion, they also flew away.
If Gu Sheng knew that this man was more black-hearted than he thought, he would be speechless.
But fortunately, he didn't plan to pay.
Ten thousand taels is too much, he can't take it out.
There is no way, he can only borrow from the Zoroastrianism. He has no psychological burden to borrow from the Zoroastrianism.
...
Gu Sheng went back to Gujiazhuang after a few circles.
Looking back at the meeting with the Zoroastrians tonight, his eyes flickered a little.
"The Zoroastrianism is evil and we can't have too much contact with them. These two people are so cautious, and it takes seven days to get the Bone Protection Pill. Nine out of ten need to be transferred from other places. It is very likely that there are no core members in Canghe County. These two people may even be the members with the highest authority!"
"We barely passed today, but if we get deeply involved, it may be difficult to get out in the future."
Gu Sheng made up his mind.
"After this job, I will completely cut off this channel. Three Bone Protection Pills are almost enough. When the time comes, I will find a way to get another one, and I can smoothly advance to the Bone Refining Realm. At worst, I will go to Ge Qing as Li Hu..."
As long as I follow Ge Qing's rules, Gu Sheng's heart is not so hairy.
As for breaking through to the Bone Refining Realm?
By then, the matter in Canghe County should be almost over. At that time, he will most likely not be here. Let's talk about the resources later.
When he arrives in a larger place, it will not be as difficult to obtain cultivation resources such as Bone Protection Pills.
It will take another seven days.
Gu Sheng is not in a hurry. He continues to work hard to gain experience and silently waits for the time to come.
…
Three days later.
The first surprise arrived.
On this day, Gu Sheng was helping Helian Tielan. With his current level of Helian weapon forging, he was more than capable of helping. Not only could he complete the forging of the giant axe and heavy armor faster, but he could also accumulate experience.
This was much faster than Gu Sheng practicing forging weapons alone.
At this time, Helian Tielan was concentrating on forging the axe blade in his hand, repeatedly hammering and quenching it, striving to ensure that the axe blade was sharp while not easily rolling or breaking.
Gu Sheng knew that Helian Tielan had integrated all his hatred for the Black Sand Gang into this giant axe.
Not only did he take out his own collection of precious mineral materials such as cold iron and black rock crystal, but he also performed beyond his level. At this time, the prototype of the giant axe was gradually perfected in Helian Tielan's hands. Gu Sheng could even feel the enthusiasm in Helian Tielan's eyes.
Gu Sheng himself was also looking forward to it.
The previous giant axe was also melted. Although that giant axe was also a fine product, it was far inferior to the one in front of him.
Bang! Bang! Bang! !
The forging sounded rhythmically, the flames rolled up and fell, and the cold water sizzled and smoked.
Repeating the action step by step, a hundred times of forging made a weapon.
Perhaps the most critical moment had passed, and Helian Tielan's voice finally sounded:
"The essence of Helian's weapon forging technique lies in quenching and forging. With my current great success level, I can do a hundred times of forging. My lord, you have a good talent for forging weapons. If you reach the perfect level one day, you can do a thousand times of forging, and you can be called a famous craftsman wherever you go."
"Even masters in the bone refining realm will treat you as a guest of honor."
Although the status of a weapon forger is not as good as that of an alchemist, it is not low. She continued:
"I have used Helian's weapon forging technique to perform special treatment on your giant axe and heavy armor. If your weapon forging technique surpasses mine in the future, you can refine them again, and the power will definitely be stronger."
Gu Sheng nodded slowly.
However, this Helian Weapon Casting Technique still has a potential threat to the Helian family. If it is not necessary, he will not expose it, so as not to cause trouble.
"Thank you very much, it's thoughtful."
Helian Tielan showed a rare smile on his face, and then restrained it.
"As long as you can avenge me one day, Tielan will be very grateful."
As the voice fell.
The last step was completed, and Helian Tielan's eyes flashed with light, looking at the work in front of him:
"My lord, your giant axe is finally built!"
Gu Sheng followed Helian Tielan's gaze and saw that the three components of the giant axe were neatly placed there.
First is the crescent-shaped axe blade, the light is cold, the axe face is wide like a small shield, the axe blade is sharp, the upper part is blade-shaped, and the lower part is serrated, which makes people feel hairy at a glance. There are three sharp spikes on the back, flashing cold light.
Gu Sheng's eyes rose with love, and he gently touched it, and a cold touch rose.
Helian Tielan's voice sounded at the right time:
"The axe blade is made of cold iron, which is tough and sharp, and can even coagulate blood."
Gu Sheng looked at the two axe handles, each of which was more than one meter long, pitch black, and looked extremely tough. The bottom axe handle had sharp spikes at the end, and there were blood-colored lines on both axe handles, which was very domineering.
"The axe handle is made of black rock crystal mixed with the weapon provided by you, sir. It is difficult for ordinary so-called magic weapons to leave marks on it!"
Listening to Helian Tielan's proud introduction.
Gu Sheng could no longer hold back his impatience. He raised his toes, and the axe blade and axe handle flew into the air. Gu Sheng grabbed the two axe handles and twisted them. With a click, the two axe handles were perfectly integrated and fit together.
Then he grabbed the axe handle through the hole on the back of the axe blade, shook it hard, and the hidden machine in the axe handle stretched out and stuck to the axe blade.
A giant axe over two meters long was formed instantly!
Looking at this domineering and brutal giant axe, Gu Sheng couldn't help laughing, and he couldn't let it go. Just thinking about the scene of holding this giant axe and performing the three styles of blood rage, you can know how terrifying it is.
"Sir, please name this giant axe!"
Helian Tielan was also a little excited. She performed this giant axe beyond her level, and it was definitely her most outstanding work.
Gu Sheng pondered slightly.
"Let's call it thirsty blood."
This giant ax was born out of hatred in Helian Tielan's heart, longing for the blood of the Black Sand Gang. The other is the three moves of angry blood, blood-cutting, bloodthirsty, and blood-thirst. Thirsting for blood is the strongest move, and it complements this giant ax perfectly. .
Helian Tielan's eyes gleamed and he shouted:
"What a name! I hope that with the Bloodthirst ax in hand, I can kill all the evil thieves of the Black Sand Gang!"
"Next, I will try my best to help you build heavy armor. You can come over if you are free."
Gu Sheng nodded slowly.
Heavy armor cannot be successfully crafted in a short time. Treasure armor of this level still needs to be tempered hundreds of times, and it may take a month or two.
But he wasn't in a hurry.
Just wait until you can wear it when you advance to the Bone Refining Realm.
…
The next few days.
Gu Sheng basically spent his time practicing, and occasionally asked for information in Canghe County.
He always felt that Liu Yuanhu's reaction when he learned that Zhao Honglie secretly forged armor was too calm, but after observing these days, he found some clues. Some big families in the city seemed to be silently transferring their core clansmen and property.
For example, the Zhao family, Lu family, Sun family, etc. all have this sign.
Gu Sheng remembered that Liu Yuanhu had taken action against the Lu family during the black market auction. The three families had always advanced and retreated together, and now they might have reached some kind of agreement with the Black Sand Gang.
After all, Liu Yuanhu has always been very domineering.
It can be seen from the black market auction that after he liquidates the Black Sand Gang, the remaining major forces will inevitably be suppressed. Even if they can survive, their lives will not be as smooth as before.
For these wealthy families, they would naturally not agree.
Gu Sheng just observed silently, lest something unexpected happen but he was not prepared at all.
The seven-day appointment with the Zoroastrians is getting closer and closer.
Gu Sheng has already felt that the potency of the bone-protecting pill in his body is declining. After all, one bone-protecting pill can only last for one month.
At this time, the bone tempering progress has reached more than 20%, and the body strength has been improved again.
When the power of this bone-protecting elixir wears off, it is estimated that it will be able to temper about 30% of the bones.
But the tempering will become more difficult as you go forward. Not every bone-protecting pill can make the bone-tempering progress reach this level. Otherwise, you don’t need five bone-protecting pills. Three bone-protecting pills plus a period of self-cultivation. That's totally enough.
"I hope Zoroastrianism will not disappoint me..."
Gu Sheng's eyes were dark.
Although the Zoroastrian promised to bring three bone-protecting pills, it was hard to say whether there would be any accidents.
Time passes.
On the last day of the seven-day appointment, Gu Sheng successfully broke through to the perfect state with the three blood-wrathing techniques he obtained from Wang Chong!
"The three moves of Fury and Blood have reached the perfect state. The power of the three moves can be doubled when fully charged! Coupled with the newly completed blood-thirsty giant axe, my current combat power has reached a higher level!"
Gu Sheng's eyes were full of joy.
He also didn't expect that the three techniques of Wrath and Blood would be broken through so quickly. As expected, the newcomers would reach the perfection level one step ahead of the Golden Body Technique.
This is related to his attainments in chopping firewood, and also to the fact that Helian's military skills have reached a small level.
Several martial arts have something in common, which makes Gu Shenggan's experience extremely smooth. This is the martial arts that he has improved the fastest in his history, even better than the physical training martial arts he got after the Flying Thunder Kick and Golden Body Kung Fu. Be faster.
"Everything is ready. Now it depends on whether the Zoroastrian people can help. I hope they can successfully bring the bone-protecting pill."
Gu Sheng murmured in his heart and continued practicing.
Several martial arts have not yet reached their limits, and they must continue to work hard.
…
late at night.
The seven-day appointment had arrived, and Gu Sheng carried a huge black wooden box behind his back. Although it was still a little conspicuous, it was undoubtedly much better than carrying a giant axe.
He changed his disguise into his previous middle-aged appearance and headed towards the promised Qingping Lake.
This time the agreed time was still Choushi, and Gu Sheng came earlier than last time.
He lurked down, activated the snake breath technique, and waited silently.
The night wind blew, and the waves of the reeds undulated. Time passed, which was beyond Gu Sheng's expectation. At just midnight, two figures with strong auras fell here and hid silently. After a while, the last time Two men in black arrived at the side of Qingping Lake.
Among them, the man in black who had reached the Blood Refining Realm was still hiding in the nearby reeds, leaving only the man who met Gu Sheng last time waiting by the lake.
Gu Sheng squinted his eyes and thought to himself:
"It seems that these two people don't completely trust me."
