Although it is difficult for Gu Sheng to understand this, it is the fact that Gu Xiaojiang is locked up.
"Even if you are really dedicated to Gu Family Village, if a person with authority feels that his prestige is being impacted, he will act unwisely..."
Gu Sheng stood with his hands behind his hands, looking in the direction of the main house.
He could somewhat guess why the clan elders were like this.
In the past, there was Gu Family Village, the number one master, Gu Jingang, and in the latter, there was Gu Family Village, the number one genius, Gu Xiaojiang. The two of them acting against the wishes of the clan elders would inevitably cause conflicts.
Gu Family Village has always been the clan elders in charge of all matters. Now that the two of them are attacking one after another, the clan elders will naturally feel faintly threatened. Even though Gu Xiaojiang is also a member of the master family, this is human nature. clan elders live a long time, but they are not people who have no desires and desires.
It is normal to be unwilling to let go of power after holding it for a long time.
Gu Sheng shook his head.
He is not worried about what problems Gu Xiaojiang will have. After all, he is the number one genius that Gu Family Village has devoted all his efforts to cultivate. At most, he will have to suffer some physical pain in the discipline. If this news can reach his ears, the elders must not have any hidden thoughts.
Eighty percent of them also have the meaning of demonstration.
Gu Sheng withdrew his gaze and continued practicing.
No matter whether there are any changes within Gu Family Village, he doesn't want to care. Who is in power has nothing to do with him, unless it affects him or outsiders want to destroy Gu Family Village.
He lives in Gu Family Village, has achieved stability, and will repay him to a certain extent.
Gu Family Village ancestral hall.
Gu Jingang stood up slowly, rubbed his knees slightly, and the power of Qi and blood washed away. The slight fatigue and sleepiness that he had originally felt disappeared immediately. After practicing to the Blood Refining Realm, there is a big gap between him and ordinary people.
Not eating or sleeping for a short period of time is not a big deal.
With an expressionless face, he walked out of the ancestral hall, and a ray of light shone down, causing him to squint his eyes involuntarily.
A servant next to him took the initiative to hand him a hand towel soaked in hot water. Gu Jingang wiped his hands and asked casually:
"Has anything happened in the past few days? Is everything okay in Shonai?"
The servant carefully replied:
"Everything is fine, but... Master Xiao Jiang has been detained by the clan elders..."
Gu Jingang's movements stagnated, and the servant's heart suddenly tightened. He quietly looked at Gu Jingang's face, and found that there was no wave on Gu Jingang's face, and there seemed to be no emotion in his eyes. Although Gu Jingang was serious in the past, it was never like this.
"What is the reason for confinement?"
A cold voice came, and the servant was excited and said quickly:
"Youngster, I don't know. The clan elders just said that Master Xiaojiang should stay in seclusion for three months and strive to be promoted to the Blood Refining Realm as soon as possible..."
Gu Jingang The corners of his mouth grinned, as if in silent ridicule.
"I know..."
A faint voice came, and by the time the servant reacted, Gu Jingang's figure had disappeared into the distance.
One month has passed.
Gu Family Village Everything was calm and nothing happened. Gu Sheng continued to practice as usual. Today, he went to Helian Tielan to help cast armor and improve Helian Weapon Forging Art's proficiency.
Today, Helian Tielan is no longer in Canghe County city, but in a secluded courtyard outside the city.
The reason is simple.
Since Zhao Honglie's secret armor casting was exposed, Liu Yuanhu had no plans to attack in advance. Instead, Zhao Honglie became even more crazy and searched for blacksmiths everywhere. Although it was still done in secret and they did not dare to expose it openly, it also made many blacksmiths panic, hide themselves everywhere, and take the initiative to ask Liu Yuanhu for help.
In this way, Liu Yuanhu gained the support of many blacksmiths without losing any blood.
In order to avoid any problems, Gu Sheng simply bought a secluded yard outside the city. It happened to be convenient for him to come and go. Although the alleys in the city were remote, if he was discovered, it would easily cause trouble.
When he stepped into the small courtyard, he saw Helian Tielan staring at the small crescent-shaped iron block in his hand in a daze. Gu Sheng had seen it many times and knew that it was a gift from Pei Xuanxi.
Although I don't know the story between the two, Gu Sheng can feel that Helian Tielan cherishes this relationship.
"You don't plan to find his family?"
Gu Sheng asked.
Helian Tielan put the iron block away close to his body and just shook his head and said:
"He was an orphan since he was a child. It was his master who raised him up. When Black Sand Gang came to kidnap people, his master would rather die than obey and was killed by Black Sand Gang."
Gu Sheng nodded silently.
Black Sand Gang is indeed evil.
People like Gu Family Village were okay just staying together to keep warm, but they were charged for annual payments. Many people at the bottom were even worse off. They sold their sons and daughters, mortgaged their fields, and destroyed their families and families. When Cao Shiduan was the former magistrate of the county, Black Sand Gang was already a cancer for Canghe County.
Helian Tielan took a deep breath and looked at Gu Sheng.
"If you can kill Zhao Honglie one day, you will be a great benefactor to countless people in Canghe County!"
Gu Sheng said nothing.
If his strength allowed, he himself would not mind killing Zhao Honglie, but it was impossible for him to risk his life to kill Zhao Honglie.
The main reason why people in this world have difficulty living is the corruption of Chao Gang. The news of the new emperor's fainting has long been spread to Canghe County. The world that has just been stable for two years has begun to gradually become chaotic again. Without Black Sand Gang, there will still be White Sand Gang Hongsha Gang.
If you really want to survive, you have to master your own power. This is the fundamental reason why Gu Sheng has always pursued strength.
He wanted to live well and see what the peak of martial arts was like.
"Let's start today's armor-making. Calculating the time, it's almost time, right?"
Helian Tielan nodded and said:
"Thanks to your help, the progress is much faster than expected. It should be completed today."
One month has passed. Although Helian Weapon Forging Art of Gu Sheng has not yet reached the level of Dacheng, it is very close. It is enough to help Helian Tielan complete some non-core work. With the huge power of Gu Sheng, the efficiency is greatly increased.
The two no longer communicated, but just opened the furnace, forged iron, quenched, and polished the iron in a tacit understanding...
The tinkling sound is endless.
Gu Sheng is also focused on it. Helian Weapon Forging Art's proficiency slowly climbs. With his hands, the quality of the forged iron will only get higher and higher without any decrease. This is a scary thing.
Pieces of fine iron are forged, and then returned to the furnace to continue forging. It is not that easy to build a full-body Hundred Refinements Heavy Armor.
But the good thing is.
It's finally done.
At this time, the bright moon was already high in the sky.
As the last breastplate was built, only the final assembly steps were left. Helian Tielan's eyes were filled with enthusiasm. This was a work that was not inferior to Thirstblood Great Axe at all.
For Helian Tielan, before he met Pei Xuanxi, the most important thing in life was to build soldiers, otherwise he would not have such superb skills at such a young age.
And now, Casting Soldiers is the sustenance of her life.
Snap, snap, snap.
The crisp sound of metal buckles closing one after another sounded, and Gu Sheng couldn't help but feel a look of surprise in his eyes.
The heavy armor in front of me has been completely formed!
At a glance, the whole body is as black as ink, including the helmet, breastplate, back armor, arm armor, leg armor, combat boots and other parts. Even the hands have armor extensions.
"Sir, please try it on and see if there is anything you need to adjust."
Helian Tielan suggested.
Gu Sheng is eager to try.
The 490 kilograms of heavy armor is inconvenient to wear, even for ordinary people. Fortunately, Gu Sheng is strong enough and does not need the help of Helian Tielan. With a slight shock, various parts of the heavy armor have already flown into the air.
Click, click, click.
The crisp sound of the metal amplifier kept ringing, and in just two breaths, the heavy armor fit perfectly on Gu Sheng's body.
Helian Tielan's eyes were full of shock.
In front of him, Gu Sheng looked like a black steel beast.
At this time, Gu Sheng has entered the Tier 1 Body Strengthening state. He is over two meters tall and is extremely strong. At this time, his entire body is enlarged under the heavy armor. The shiny black heavy armor is full of incomparable heaviness.
Even the most fragile eyes are treated with thinly polished black rock crystals for defense.
It not only has the ultimate defensive ability, but also takes into account the attack. There are inch-long barbs everywhere on the elbows, knees, shoulders, and helmet, which are ferocious and sharp. The hands and feet are also wrapped in black armor, which has been specially treated to make it extremely flexible.
It's hard to imagine how terrifying it would be for Gu Sheng to run rampant on the battlefield wearing such heavy armor.
Coupled with Thirstblood Great Axe, this is simply a killing machine.
Gu Sheng was amazed in his eyes, understanding how much a piece of heavy armor could bless a warrior.
Hundred Refinements Heavy Armor plus Thirstblood Great Axe are enough to double his strength!
Its lethality against low-level warriors is even more invincible.
It would be difficult for an ordinary Blood Refining Realm warrior to hurt Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng exited the Tier 1 Body Strengthening state, and he could immediately feel that the originally tightly wrapped heavy armor shrank as the body became smaller, and fit perfectly again. He was even more satisfied in his heart. How could he be dissatisfied with such a dazzling and practical heavy armor.
"Thank you."
Gu Sheng Thank you very much.
Helian Tielan showed a rare smile:
"I want to thank you, sir. If you hadn't saved me, you would not be the Helian Tielan we are now."
Gu Sheng is not pretentious, just said:
"One day I will find the opportunity to avenge you."
Helian Tielan will fight to the end:
"Tie Lan looks forward to that day!"
After the heavy armor was built, Gu Sheng took the heavy armor back to Gu Family Village and put it properly in his darkroom until needed.
Next time.
Gu Sheng continued to practice silently. Now that there is no shortage of Bone Protecting Pill for the time being, he just tried his best to temper his bones.
The friction between Black Sand Gang and Liu Yuanhu in the outside world has become more and more intense. Black Sand Gang is already showing signs of a fight to the death. Although Liu Yuanhu is still giving in and does not want to start a full-scale war, Gu Sheng feels that it has only been a few months and will definitely not last until the end of the year.
He silently waited for the opportunity.
Gu Family Village.
Ever since Gu Jingang was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall and Gu Xiaojiang was imprisoned, there has been no disturbance.
The majesty of the clan elders is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
clan hall.
Gu Changming is lowering his head to report clan matters to the clan elders.
"Great Clan Elder, the clan has now built fifteen pieces of heavy armor. Fine iron is in short supply now, and the progress of building heavy armor is getting slower and slower. Do you want to continue building it?"
Great Clan Elder frowned in thought.
"That's all. Fifteen pieces of heavy armor are almost enough. Black Sand Gang is constantly searching for blacksmiths and refined iron. We shouldn't attract their attention. Has Blood Strengthening Pill been leaked from Alchemist Ge Qing recently?"
Gu Dajiang stood up and replied:
"Never."
There was no expression on his dark face. It is said that after Gu Xiaojiang was imprisoned, he once begged the clan elders for mercy, but was flatly rejected.
Great Clan Elder waved his hand, and Gu Changming continued:
"There is news from the county magistrate, telling us to be careful when Black Sand Gang jumps over the wall in a hurry. Within half a year at most, Black Sand Gang will definitely be wiped out!"
Some clan elders smiled.
"We will strengthen the security patrols in the village during this period. As long as we survive this period, when Xiaojiang enters Chiyun Guard, I, Gu Family Village, will be truly stable in Canghe County!"
"Yes!"
One thing is done in an orderly manner.
There's just one person missing, Gu Family Village's number one master, Gu Jingang.
After that incident, Gu Jingang claimed that he was a little tired and took the initiative to apply for a period of rest, regardless of family affairs.
Finally, Great Clan Elder frowned and asked:
"How is Vajra doing lately?"
Gu Changming and Gu Dajiang looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"Vajra Since that time, he has been staying at home and not seeing outsiders. It is said that he is addicted to alcohol at home and drinks heavily every day..."
"You didn't even see you two?"
Great Clan Elder couldn't help but cursed:
"It can't be a climate thing!"
Gu Changming both lowered their heads and did not reply. They had a good relationship with Gu Jingang.
After a while, Great Clan Elder still sighed and said:
"Let's do this. If you go to look for him tomorrow, just say that I asked you to go and have a good chat with him. After all, he is one of the three masters of Gu Family Village. How can he be so decadent? Let him come back. A month's rest is almost enough."
Gu Changming responded respectfully:
"Yes, Great Clan Elder."
Looking at the two people leaving, Great Clan Elder coldly snorted:
"A white-eyed wolf who has not been raised well will behave like this when something is not as expected. Xiaojiang most likely learned from him. You must teach Xiaojiang well in the future, otherwise a beautiful jade will turn into a rotten stone."
The other clan elders nodded.
They have experienced this kind of thing before. In the past, Gu Family Village did not treat people who were not the master of the family as harshly as now. It was just that after painstakingly cultivating a talented warrior, the warrior quietly left, causing Gu Family Village's investment to be wasted, and then it gradually became what it is now.
No matter how talented a martial artist who is not from the master's family is, it is useless unless he becomes one of his own.
Even if you become your own person, you will never be able to compare with the treatment you get from your master's family.
They believe more in the bond between blood.
Gu Changming and Gu Dajiang came out of the clan hall and looked at each other with sighs.
There was nothing they could do about the estrangement between Gu Jingang and the clan elders. They had been trying to persuade Gu Jingang before, but Great Clan Elder had no intention of easing the issue and there was nothing they could do.
At this time, Great Clan Elder asked the two of them to persuade Gu Jingang, and he suddenly felt confident.
"Let me change my clothes and come together. The three of us haven't gotten together for a while."
After a while.
Gu Changming and Gu Dajiang stopped in front of the door of a small bluestone courtyard. Gu Dajiang gently knocked on the door and saw a little maid sticking her head out. Seeing the two of them, Gu Changming, she quickly saluted respectfully:
"I've met two adults!"
"Who is it?"
A pretty woman came over, was slightly taken aback, and said hurriedly:
"Brother Changming, Brother Dajiang, you are here."
This was the daughter of the master's family whom Gu Jingang married back then. She had a troubled look on her face:
"Brothers, it's not that I won't let you in, it's actually that my Vajra is in very bad shape recently. He said he doesn't want to see anyone, so you should let him rest for a while..."
Gu Changming sighed and said with relief:
"We are here under the order of Great Clan Elder this time. Don't worry, we will advise Vajra carefully. You don't want to see him like this forever."
The woman still wants to talk.
A deep voice came from behind:
"Let them come in. Since that's what Great Clan Elder means, if I stop them, it will make me, Gu Jingang, seem ignorant."
Gu Changming and Gu Dajiang looked at each other and smiled bitterly, hearing the resentment in Gu Jingang's words.
The two walked into the small courtyard and soon saw Gu Jingang.
At this time, Gu Jingang was disheveled, smelling of alcohol, and looked at the two people even more drunkenly.
