A place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
Helian Tielan dug a hole, spliced Pei Xuanxi's head and body together, and buried them. This was what she found after she returned just now. Her eyes were dull, and she finally engraved the words "Helian Tielan's fiancé Pei Xuanxi's tomb" on the wooden sign.
Gu Sheng just watched silently from a distance, Helian Tielan insisted not to let him help, and he felt a little sad in his heart.
Although he didn't have much dealings with Helian Tielan, in the black market before, Helian Tielan gave him the impression that he was taciturn and cold-tempered, but he didn't expect that he was so affectionate. He engraved the tombstone like this, and he obviously planned not to marry again for the rest of his life.
He just sighed in his heart.
Helian Tielan was silent for a moment in front of the tombstone. His mouth moved as if he said something. Gu Sheng didn't hear it clearly. Then he saw her slowly walking over and bowed respectfully:
"Thank you Butcher for saving me. Tielan will never forget your kindness. In the future, if you need Tielan, feel free to use it. Tielan will definitely repay you with your life!"
Gu Sheng nodded slowly.
"Leave here first. Black Sand Gang One of the hall masters died. If the news about the armor is leaked, they will definitely not let it go."
Helian Tielan didn't explain it clearly, but he had a rough idea of what was going on.
I was secretly shocked, Black Sand Gang was actually forging armor in secret!
And it's armor casting on a large scale!
Gu Sheng understands very well how much a piece of heavy armor can benefit a warrior. A Skin Refining stage warrior puts on heavy armor, and with its own hard skin, he only needs to protect his vital parts, and he can run rampant on the battlefield. He can be called a killing machine.
If you want to deal with such a warrior, you have to have a higher-level warrior to take action, or you have to use the skill of beating an ox across a mountain.
If Black Sand Gang hundreds of warriors were all wearing heavy armor, it would be unimaginable how terrifying it would be.
Helian Tielan nodded.
"I also have a house that no one has discovered. It is in Canghe County City. There are some precious materials I have stored there, as well as a stove. We can go there to forge soldiers."
before.
Gu Sheng has already made a request to her to help him forge weapons and heavy armor.
He mentioned it as a matter of course, and Helian Tielan also took it for granted. This was the reason why Gu Sheng took action, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all. In Gu Sheng's concept, this was more similar to an equivalent exchange.
The two were strong and fast. After giving Helian Tielan some disguises, they successfully entered the city.
During this period, it was obvious that people from Black Sand Gang were walking around secretly, observing people entering the city. If Black Sand Gang had not fallen out with Liu Yuanhu in the past, it would have been difficult for the two of them to enter the city, but now, Black Sand Gang's control over Canghe County City is obviously not enough.
After going around left and right, the two of them entered a courtyard in a deep alley. The courtyard was not small. They walked forward and backward. When they returned to a familiar place, Helian Tielan was obviously relieved.
Recalling her life without seeing the light of day in the past few months, as well as all the encounters, her eyes couldn't help but darken, and when she thought of Pei Xuanxi, sadness filled her heart.
"You should heal your injuries first, and then you can start making weapons when you are well."
Gu Sheng is not an unkind person. Helian Tielan fled all the way and was covered in scars. Although he has been treated briefly before, he still needs to be nursed back to health.
Helian Tielan nodded gratefully.
Gu Sheng said:
"I'll come back in three days and tell me what materials you need."
Helian Tielan thought for a while and said:
"I have most of the collected materials, but I need to add several hundred kilograms of fine iron. According to your requirements, the giant ax needs to weigh 360 kilograms, and the heavy armor needs 490 kilograms. The amount of fine iron I have reserved is not enough."
"Okay."
Gu Sheng nodded, turned and left. Three days was enough for him to prepare all these fine irons. Han Lu's meteor hammer and the two scimitars from Leng Yun were made of very good materials and could be remade.
Killing so many Black Sand Gang people, the harvest is not cheap.
There was a flash of anticipation in his eyes.
When the giant ax and heavy armor are completed, his combat effectiveness will definitely increase greatly!
At the same time.
Black Sand Gang station.
The atmosphere was extremely heavy.
"Idiots! They are all idiots!"
Zhao Honglie's roar resounded in the gang meeting hall, leaving many high-level officials in silence. Zhao Honglie's eyes were red, and he simply wanted to choose and devour anyone!
First it was Han Lu, then Wang Chong, and now even the armor casting has been leaked!
He felt that his luck was really bad during this period, as if he was being secretly targeted.
"Gang leader, what should we do now? Someone has escaped alive. If the news reaches Liu Yuanhu, he will definitely become wary, and the effect of this raid will be greatly reduced."
Xu Zhaoming asked bravely.
He also had an inseparable relationship with the blacksmith riot. He and Leng Yun were responsible for the armor casting. Now that Leng Yun is dead, he is naturally the highest responsible person.
Zhao Honglie snorted heavily and glanced sideways at Xu Zhaoming.
His eyes flickered and he finally said:
"Follow the plan and go all out to build the armor, and be prepared for Liu Yuanhu to fall out at any time. Once we get to that point, we will have no choice but to fight to the death!"
Zhao Honglie is murderous.
The successive misfortunes made him feel a bit like a broken pot. Everyone was shocked and responded with a bang.
Wait until everyone has left.
Zhao Honglie then turned around and entered the darkroom. In the darkroom, the light was dim. After lighting the torch, the general appearance could be seen. It was empty except for a locked jade box.
Zhao Honglie Take a deep breath.
Take out the lock and open the jade box.
I saw a small black seed lying quietly in it. The seed was dry, about the size of the belly of my little finger, and its vitality was almost invisible. But the moment I opened the box, Zhao Honglie couldn't help but feel a feeling of fear in my heart.
He slammed the box shut.
Breathing heavily, he hesitated for a moment before turning around and leaving the secret passage.
Zhao Honglie was originally just an ordinary refugee boy. The reason why he was able to achieve today's achievements and build such a huge family business was because of this black seed.
It's just that this black seed is too evil and will devour human flesh and blood!
He didn't dare to have too much contact at all.
Over the years, except for the first time when the black seeds fed him a lot of rich vitality, he rarely opened this jade box. He always remembered the tragic scene of hundreds of people being sucked dry at the same time.
"If we really come to the end of the road..."
Zhao Honglie's eyes flashed with cruelty, this was his last trump card.
Three days later.
Gu Sheng arrived with fine iron and various weapons. While still outside the courtyard, he heard the sound of clanking. When he opened the door, Helian Tielan was hammering iron and doing preliminary preparations.
At this time, Helian Tielan no longer looked as embarrassed as he did three days ago.
The injuries on his body have basically recovered. After taking a good rest, his energy and energy have been replenished, and he is completely different from before.
"It seems you are recovering well."
Helian Tielan nodded, did not speak, and just concentrated on swinging the heavy hammer.
clang!
Sparks flew everywhere, Gu Sheng carefully observed Helian Tielan's movements. There was a special rhythm in it, and surprise gradually appeared in Gu Sheng's eyes. Helian Tielan's hammering method was not simple.
He has always known that Helian Tielan has extraordinary skills and is the best among blacksmiths, but now that he has seen it with his own eyes, his perception has become more intuitive.
Neither of them spoke.
One person concentrates on hammering and the other carefully observes, and time passes.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Helian Tielan finished processing the batch of fine iron in front of her. She stopped moving this time and twisted her arms to activate her muscles. She wiped her sweat and then sat down to drink a bowl of well water.
Helian Tielan stared at Gu Sheng and said slowly:
"Master Butcher, I have some ideas that I need to confirm with you about the giant ax and heavy armor you need."
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows.
"You said."
"First of all, the giant axe. The giant ax you need is two meters long and weighs 360 kilograms. It would be inconvenient to carry it on your back, so I thought of making the giant ax detachable and divided into three parts, the blade and the two handles."
"In this way, you only need to carry a large box on your back. Once you are proficient, you can assemble the giant ax in an instant without affecting your battle."
Unexpectedly, Helian Tielan was not talking about the material of the weapon, but the issue of portability. Apparently, she noticed that Gu Sheng did not carry a giant ax when fighting before.
Gu Sheng's eyes lit up.
This has really troubled him for a long time. Every time he uses the giant ax, he is prepared for battle in advance. At other times, it is too eye-catching to carry it around.
This way you can avoid this trouble now.
"Very well, let's do it this way."
He vaguely guessed the reason why Helian Tielan was so positive, and motioned for her to continue.
"As for the heavy armor, I see that your size increased greatly during the previous battle, so I want to focus on strengthening it in terms of toughness so that it can better suit your situation."
Gu Sheng nodded with satisfaction.
After activating the Tier 1 Body Strengthening state, my height soared to two meters, which was indeed a problem. The toughness of the heavy armor was strengthened, and if the connections were processed, it would indeed be more suitable for me.
You can see it.
In the past three days, Helian Tielan, besides recuperating from his injuries, had not been idle. He had been thinking about forging soldiers for Gu Sheng.
However, this level of care is indeed full of sincerity.
"You have a heart."
Gu Sheng nodded with satisfaction.
Helian Tielan said seriously:
"This is what I should do. Without you, Mr. Butcher, I would be a dead body by now."
She thanked her sincerely again, and hesitated a little as she spoke.
Gu Sheng smiled and said:
"Tell me, what requests do you have for me?"
He could tell that Helian Tielan had something to tell him.
Helian Tielan took a deep breath, bowed respectfully, and then said:
"I want to make a deal with you, sir. No, I want to ask you for something."
"Tell me about it." Gu Sheng said thoughtfully.
Helian Tielan solemnly said:
"I would like to ask my lord, if you find the opportunity one day, kill Zhao Honglie and destroy Black Sand Gang. I am willing to offer the family's secret weapon-making method. I was born in the Chiyun Prefecture family of weapon-making Hèlian Family. The method of forging weapons will definitely not disappoint you."
There was immense hatred in her eyes.
Obviously he has not let go of Pei Xuanxi's death and wants Black Sand Gang and Zhao Honglie to pay the price.
Gu Sheng's eyes narrowed.
He didn't expect that Helian Tielan actually had some background. This method of forging weapons was learned from his family. Chiyun Prefecture's family of forging weapons must have a lot of background.
"Then why don't you ask the family for help?"
Helian Tielan just shook his head and said:
"To be honest with you, sir, I am the only one left in my lineage, and I have broken off with my family. If you master my ability to forge weapons, you need to be careful not to reveal it, so as not to cause trouble."
Helian Tielan has no hidden ideas.
"You just believe me that much?"
"Tie Lan can see that although your Excellency has a fierce reputation, he is very principled. If you promise me, you will definitely work hard to achieve it. Tie Lan is unwilling to accept it, so he took the liberty to plead with you, please don't blame me."
"As long as you agree, sir, I can teach you Helian Weapon Forging Art now. You only need to do it when you are strong enough. You don't need to risk your life."
Gu Sheng pondered.
I have to say, he was moved.
Judging from Helian Tielan's weapon-making skills, this Helian Weapon Forging Art can definitely be regarded as a superior inheritance. If you learn it by yourself, you don't have to worry about not having a handy weapon even if your strength increases in the future.
As for the potential threat of the Hèlian Family, Gu Sheng didn't pay too much attention to it. At most, it was just for his own use, so that no flaws would be exposed.
The most important thing is that the conditions for Helian Tielan are indeed very relaxed.
Does not conflict with Gu Sheng.
According to Gu Sheng's original idea, he also planned to make a fortune from the conflict between Black Sand Gang and Liu Yuanhu. Black Sand Gang was a man of many evil deeds and had hatred against Gu Sheng, so there was no psychological burden on him to kill him.
After weighing one and two, Gu Sheng solemnly nodded and said:
"Okay, I agree. If I become successful in the future, I will definitely kill Zhao Honglie for you."
Helian Tielan's eyes suddenly shone with surprise. Even if Gu Sheng didn't agree, she would still try her best to build soldiers for Gu Sheng. But if there was such a strong support, the hope of revenge would undoubtedly be greatly increased.
She saw the battle between Gu Sheng and Leng Yun that day and knew that Gu Sheng was definitely not the Blood Refining Realm success rumored by the outside world. It was most likely the Blood Refining Realm consummation, or even more!
That kind of fighting power is truly terrifying.
"Thank you, sir! I will teach you Helian Weapon Forging Art now. You can learn along with me when I build the giant ax and heavy armor for you. When the building is completed, you will be able to get started!"
She was full of fighting spirit.
Gu Sheng also smiled and nodded. He was in a good mood. This time he made a good move. Not only could he create a handy weapon, but he also had the opportunity to learn the art of forging weapons.
"Sir, this Helian Weapon Forging Art is divided into two parts: upper and lower. I only know the upper part, but even so, if you can reach a high level, you can easily forge a magical weapon that can cut gold and cut jade!"
Gu Sheng listened carefully, and Helian Tielan began to explain the various details of forging soldiers.
Mine identification, material selection, design, hammer forging, refining, quenching...
Every step is explained in detail.
Time passes slowly.
Gu Sheng's life has become regular.
Sometimes I would temper my bones and practice three martial arts at Gu Family Village, and sometimes I would learn the art of weaponry with Helian Tielan. My life was quite fulfilling.
Helian Tielan concentrated on forging soldiers for Gu Sheng. At the same time, he found an opportunity to reveal Zhao Honglie's secret arrest of the blacksmith for large-scale armor casting. He wanted to use Liu Yuanhu's hand to retaliate against Black Sand Gang first.
But unexpectedly, Liu Yuanhu made no movement at all, as if he was completely unaware, which made Helian Tielan feel gloomy for several days.
Gu Sheng can more or less guess what Liu Yuanhu's thoughts are.
It's nothing more than pretending not to know, so that Zhao Honglie can be stabilized. When Chiyun Guard arrives, Black Sand Gang will not be an opponent even if he has hundreds of heavy armors.
As for why Liu Yuanhu was not worried about Zhao Honglie taking action in advance, Gu Sheng was a little confused.
But he is not in the game, and he doesn't know a lot of information, so he can only wait and see.
To him.
It would be more advantageous for Liu Yuanhu to start later, otherwise he would not have enough strength to take advantage. Black Sand Gang is a hedgehog, but he is also a quick fatter. If Gu Sheng can seize the opportunity to tear off a piece of meat, the subsequent training will be easier.
In the blink of an eye, it was already half a month later.
The casting of giant axes and heavy armor takes a certain amount of time, and Gu Sheng only passes by occasionally.
Gu Family Village.
Gu Sheng slowly stopped swinging his fists, and the surging energy and blood in his body gradually calmed down. Even with the support of Bone Protecting Pill's medicinal power, bone tempering should not be done too frequently, otherwise it will easily cause internal injuries.
I feel that the bones in my body have become much tougher. I can feel stronger power by making fists and kicks at will. Gu Sheng smiles with satisfaction.
The progress of bone quenching is quite good.
According to this trend, if you have enough Bone Protecting Pill, you can be promoted to the Bone Refining Realm in five months!
Then Gu Sheng began to worry again.
"The key is that there are not enough Bone Protecting Pill. In another ten days or so, the potency of this Bone Protecting Pill will disappear, and bone tempering will become as slow as a turtle crawling again."
Having experienced the speed of riding a rocket, Gu Sheng could not tolerate the previous slow bone tempering speed.
The gap of more than ten times is not a joke.
"It seems that we have to find a new Bone Protecting Pill acquisition channel." Gu Sheng's eyes flickered.
Ge Qing He didn't plan to change his identity and go there again. This person was too unpredictable, which made him feel uneasy.
The rest are nothing more than Liu Yuanhu and Zhao Honglie who may have Bone Protecting Pill. As for the other Blood Refining Realm, even if they get Bone Protecting Pill, they will most likely use it themselves. At most, Lu Family and other big families will leave a few as a foundation. If there are talented descendants in the future, they can train them with all their strength.
"Lu Family... Lu Family seems to be very close to Black Sand Gang now."
Gu Sheng thinks of the woman in white dress Lu Yue whom she met at the auction. She is the same as Lu Family.
"Unless you capture an important figure like the head of the Lu Family, it is basically impossible to obtain Bone Protecting Pill. Such a large family has a complete inheritance process, and the storage of precious treasures cannot be decided by one person."
Gu Sheng shook his head and gave up the idea for the time being.
"It seems... we can only try to contact Fire Worship Cult..."
Gu Sheng took a deep breath. Although Fire Worship Cult is evil, the power of Canghe County is not estimated to be particularly strong. Be careful when touching it. If there is anything wrong, retreat immediately!
Think of this.
He couldn't help but open his panel.
[Name]: Gu Sheng
[Age]: 17
[Realm]: Blood Refining Realm (perfection)
[Martial Arts]: Chop firewood (Tier 1 Rend), Archery (First-order Penetration), Iron Stone Fist (Tier 1 Mighty Strength), Body Shifting and Bone Changing Art (Tier 1 Body Strengthening), Snake Breathing Technique (First Order Snake Breathing), Flying Thunder Leg (66% successful), Golden Body Art (55% successful), Wrathblood Three Forms (45% successful), Helian Weapon Forging Art (75% entry-level)
After half a month of study, Gu Sheng had successfully learned Helian Weapon Forging Art from Helian Tielan, and was about to reach the level of Xiaocheng. Helian Tielan was shocked by Gu Sheng's talent in forging weapons.
However, Gu Sheng knows his own business and knows that he is just relying on the magic effect of the panel.
But he discovered something.
The hammering method contained in Helian Weapon Forging Art unexpectedly complemented Wrathblood Three Forms, making it even easier for him to practice.
Although the current progress of Wrathblood Three Forms is not as good as that of Golden Body Art, it is conceivable that Wrathblood Three Forms will definitely reach the state of perfection first.
"With my current strength, even if the person connecting Fire Worship Cult is a master Bone Refining Realm, I can still escape unscathed!"
This is the confidence that Gu Sheng dares to act.
He can change his appearance without revealing his true appearance, and he has the ability to advance and retreat. If you don't dare to try it, then you might as well die in Gu Family Village.
Canghe County city.
Gu Sheng walked out of the Helian Tielan courtyard. The casting of the giant ax was nearing completion, but the heavy armor still needed about a month. This was not a standard heavy armor like Black Sand Gang, but a treasure armor made of various precious mineral materials!
Perhaps thinking that Gu Sheng would wear this heavy armor to kill Black Sand Gang in the future, Helian Tielan built it with special care.
Gu Sheng walked towards the downtown street.
After inadvertently scanning it, my spirit was suddenly shaken.
At the corner, I saw a response to the Fire Worship Cult contact signal I had left.
"Tonight when it's ugly, it's on the side of Qingping Lake."
Gu Sheng chewed the information and walked away calmly. The last time he tortured Wang Chong, he got a lot of information about Fire Worship Cult.
However, these are all information about peripheral members, and the core ones are completely unknown. After all, Wang Chong is just an ordinary Blood Refining Realm warrior.
"The peripheral members of Fire Worship Cult include a wide range of people, ranging from high-ranking officials and noble families to traffickers and vagabonds and beggars. They are all likely to be members of Fire Worship Cult. However, many members of Fire Worship Cult do not know each other's identities and only communicate through a single line. For important tasks, only the upper line communicates with the lower line, and they progress layer by layer..."
"According to Wang Chong, peripheral members are divided into three levels, namely Black Fire, Blue Fire, and Purple Fire, which roughly correspond to ordinary people, skin-refining warriors, and blood-refining warriors. Purple Fire members have the highest authority, but it is not absolute. For example, Wang Chong is just a member of Blue Fire."
"I don't know what level of peripheral members I contacted this time. I hope it's not too low, otherwise I have to keep reporting, which is a waste of time."
Gu Sheng's footsteps moved with the flow of people, thinking silently.
It is best to be a member of Purple Fire. In this case, you can directly contact the core members of Fire Worship Cult, and only in this way can you get Bone Protecting Pill.
After nightfall.
Gu Sheng changed his appearance and body shape and turned into a middle-aged man with an average build, quietly speeding towards Qingping Lake.
Qingping Lake.
The blue waves were rippling, and the breeze blowing under the night sky brought a hint of coolness. Gu Sheng did not arrive at the agreed time.
In just a few seconds, he had already landed among the reeds at a human height and quietly entered First Order Snake Breathing's state of suspended animation. He wanted to observe in secret now and assess the danger level of the person he was meeting.
