Martial Arts: Opening Awakening

Chapter 308 Puppet Gu
"brush--"

A huge snake head flew obliquely, spraying blood like a rain of blood.

The snake body fell heavily to the ground, and the ground seemed to shake.

Then, start to twist wildly.

The giant tail whipped the surrounding small trees, earth and stones flying in all directions.

Jiang Nan's feet moved lightly, and he retreated a certain distance.

It is not a strange thing for a snake to lose its head and not die.

Different from people.

Humans are advanced animals, and the nerve center is concentrated in the brain. Once the brain is dead, it is impossible to perform any actions.

Snakes are low-level animals with small brains and underdeveloped high-level nerve centers.As a result, the low-level central ability becomes stronger, and the nerve centers are distributed throughout the body.Even if the head is cut off, each organ can maintain its original action function independently within a certain period of time, just like a conditioned reflex.

Jiangnan had heard of the tragedy of snakes biting people after their heads were cut off.

The old saying "If you beat a snake, you will not die, but you will inflict damage on yourself", to some extent, is also related to this characteristic of snakes.

After a long while, the writhing snake body finally calmed down, and the surrounding environment had been beaten into a mess.

Jiangnan walked to the place where the snake's head fell, and swiped his sword several times, cutting out two large holes on both sides of the snake's head, above the corners of the mouth behind the eyes, exposing the poisonous glands inside.

The Golden Winged Flying Snake, which was already thinner in its arms, immediately swooped up without Jiang Nan's orders, and began to suck in big mouthfuls.

Although the toxicity of this giant python's venom gland is not as good as those different kinds of small poisons before, it is superior in its large quantity.

After half a cup of tea, the Golden Winged Flying Snake, which had finally lost weight after a night of digestion, became a ball again.

The Golden Winged Flying Snake had enough to eat and drink, and was about to fly back to Jiangnan's arms.

He was grabbed by Jiangnan and put on his shoulder.

Such a round thing, stuffed in the bosom, what does it look like?
"Crack-pump-"

"Good swordsmanship, my friend!"

A gray-clothed swordsman in his fifties, staring at the wound on the snake's head, clapped and praised, and walked out from behind a big tree not far away.

Jiang Nan remembered this man. When the masters besieged the sword demon earlier, this man was paddling all the time, so he only suffered a little injury.

The swordsmanship he used was quite complicated, and Jiang Nan could not tell his identity from the swordplay alone.

Just judging by gut feeling, this is not a nice guy.

"Absurd praise!"

Jiang Nan replied lightly.

The gray-clothed swordsman didn't take it seriously, took a few steps closer, and said familiarly: "This giant snake, named Ba Yi, is an ancient alien species. Apart from poisonous glands, snake gallbladder is a good thing. If you eat it with strong alcohol, you can eat it." ..."

"If you like it, I will give it to you."

Jiang Nan didn't wait for the gray-clothed swordsman to introduce the function of snake gallbladder, but he opened his mouth directly.

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

The gray-clothed swordsman hastily opened his mouth to stop him.

"What else is there for you?"

Jiang Nan stopped and turned his head, his eyes were slightly cold.

"Hehe. Don't get me wrong, my friend." The gray-clothed swordsman rubbed his hands and explained, "It's the saying that you don't get rewarded without merit. My friend gave me such a great gift. I don't know what to call my friend."

Jiang Nan knew that this was the opponent's purpose.

Because Jiangnan's face at this time is the sallow face after the disguise yesterday.

There are only so many top fighters in this world, and this gray-clothed swordsman couldn't recognize Jiangnan, so he deliberately tried to test him out.

"So that's it." Jiang Nan smiled suddenly: "My surname is Xu, if you feel sorry, just give me some bank notes."

"One hundred and eight million is not too much, and one hundred and eighty thousand is not too little. It all depends on your wish." Jiangnan added deliberately.

"Uh..." The gray-clothed swordsman was taken aback when he heard the words, and smiled wryly, "Brother Xu was joking. How can I, a grand master, trade such vulgar things?"

"If brother Xu doesn't mind, I have a pill made from a thousand-year-old snow lotus. Not only does it have miraculous effects in healing, but it can also dissolve most of the toxins in this world."

As the gray-clothed swordsman said, he took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a green pill, and threw it towards Jiangnan.

Before the pill arrived, there was already a faint fragrance.

With Jiangnan's medical skills, it is natural to distinguish that this fragrance is from the thousand-year-old snow lotus.

After Chi Tianfeng was injured by the goat's beard suspected to be his own grandfather Wen Taishi, his grandfather Chu Tianxing once gave Jiangnan a healing pill made of thousand-year-old snow lotus mixed with Jiuqu Scrophulariae, and experienced its efficacy.

Although the pill given by the gray-clothed swordsman was not mixed with Jiuqu Scrophulariaceae, it was not trivial.

It is definitely more than enough to exchange for the snake gall in the belly of the giant python.

Anyone who saw the action of the gray-clothed swordsman would feel that the other party was deliberately making friends.

Jiang Nan frowned slightly.

If Jiangnan's medical skills had not reached the level of a master, and he had practiced the "Thousand Gu Sutra", it would be extremely difficult to find that in this fragrant pill, besides the thousand-year-old snow lotus, there was something special added to it with the naked eye and sense of smell.

"So, thank you very much."

Jiangnan reached out, caught the pill, and fed it to the bulging golden-winged flying snake on his shoulder with his backhand.

"Hey--"

The grey-clothed swordsman's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly stopped him.

pity.

Before he could finish speaking, the pill had already entered the mouth of the Golden Winged Flying Snake.

"Ah!" The gray-clothed swordsman stomped his feet in grief: "Brother Xu, you are really, really reckless!"

"This pill is also hard to get after taking it."

"Not to mention the life and death of human flesh and bones, but it is also enough to save the life of a seriously injured person. It is worth ten thousand gold."

"I gave it to Brother Xu because I saw that I had a good relationship with Brother Xu."

"Brother Xu just fed it to his pet like this, it's really... really... oh!"

The gray-clothed swordsman sighed deeply again.

Seeing Jiangnan's expression was indifferent, there was no regret or remorse.

He waved his hands helplessly, and sighed:

"That's all. Since I have given this pill to Brother Xu, what to do with it is up to Brother Xu."

"I still have something important to do, so let's take my leave."

The gray-clothed swordsman cupped his hands, and was about to turn around and leave angrily, as if he had no intention of contacting Jiangnan and other people who were reckless.

This time, Jiang Nan called out:

"Wait a minute!"

The gray-clothed swordsman shook his body, turned his head slowly, and asked impatiently, "Brother Xu, what else is there?"

"My pet said that the ingredients you added to the pills are delicious. Let me ask you, do you have any more?" Jiang Nan pointed to the intoxicated ball on his shoulder, and said solemnly.

The grey-clothed swordsman's face changed slightly.

Immediately, he asked with a look of surprise: "What do you mean by Brother Xu? Why can't I understand?"

"Hehe. Don't understand? I'll help you!"

Jiang Nan sneered, and the long sword in his hand suddenly thrust out, spanning a distance of several feet in an instant, and a gorgeous sword flower bloomed in front of the gray-clothed swordsman.

The grey-clothed swordsman was not slow to react.

In other words, he has been secretly on guard all the time, preparing to make a move or guarding against Jiangnan's move.

"Zheng-"

The long sword of the gray-clothed swordsman drew out of its sheath in an instant, blocking the long sword stabbed by Jiangnan.

just.

The next moment, before the gray-clothed swordsman could relax, the original one sword flower suddenly transformed into three.

Passing over the gray-clothed swordsman's defense, he attacked his flanks.

"laugh--"

Even if the gray-clothed swordsman changed his move in time and dodged with all his strength, he only avoided the left side, and a big wound was cut on his right rib.

"It's a good trick 'toast to invite the bright moon, and the shadows will become three people'!"

The gray-clothed swordsman retreated quickly, staring at Jiangnan, admiring him from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Nan was slightly surprised.

He stopped chasing the gray-clothed swordsman.

Not bad.

Jiangnan's move just now originated from this poem of Li Taibai, and it is the unique move in "Nineteen Styles of Qinglian".

This trick is also recorded in the "Qinglian Sword Code" that Jiangnan obtained from the jade slips.

This grey-clothed swordsman was able to recognize this move at a glance, which is quite insightful.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are the Jiangnan who was once called the apprentice by the sword demon."

The gray-clothed swordsman's eyes were burning, and he spoke again, throwing out a piece of heavy news.

Obviously, Jiangnan's identity has been recognized from this style of swordsmanship.

Before, in the sky above the Immortal Sword Valley, when the drunken Taoist questioned Jiangnan's identity as a "grand prairie spy", Jiangnan once used a martial arts move in "Qinglian Nineteen Styles", which was misinterpreted by the sword demon as his disciple.

Later, although Shangguan Changfeng and Ye Fusheng came out to interrupt and plead Jiangnan's innocence, the "Nineteen Styles of Qinglian" meeting in Jiangnan was already known to everyone present.

"Qinglian Nineteen Styles" is the Guzheng sword technique of Immortal Sword Valley.

Although there are quite a few disciples of the Immortal Sword Valley who have practiced, except for the Valley Master of the Immortal Sword Valley and the Sword Demon, the only ones who have reached the state of concentration are Jiangnan.

Therefore, although Jiangnan's face has been disguised, combined with his height and body shape, his identity is not difficult to guess.

Seeing that he was seen through, Jiang Nan did not deny it.

Just asked indifferently: "Who are you?"

"As far as I know, there is only one faction that can raise puppet Gu in this world, except for the ancient tribes in the [-] mountains of the Southern Man..."

"So, are you from Master Wen, or..."

Jiang Nan pointed to the top of his head, but did not say clearly.

But the gray-clothed swordsman had already understood what Jiangnan meant, and his expression changed drastically.

If it is said that the place with the most secret books and secret books in the world is not the holy places of martial arts like Dachan Temple and Chunyang Palace, nor the notorious cult forces like the Demon Cult, which are used to plundering others, but the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

You must know that when the Great Zhou Taizu ruled the world, even the mysterious tribes hidden in the dense forests of the Nanman were defeated a lot.The tribe's secret technique of raising Gu was naturally collected into the palace.

Therefore, another force in Jiangnankou is actually very obvious.

The reason why Jiangnan asked whether the gray-clothed swordsman belonged to Master Wen or the royal family was that the gray-clothed swordsman's actions were indeed suspicious.

"Young Master Jiang really deserves to be a genius who can break through to become a master of concentration at a young age!"

After the grey-clothed swordsman's face changed, he quickly recovered, and he was not surprised that Jiangnan guessed his identity.

From the moment he saw the golden-winged flying snake sucking the venom glands of the giant python, the gray-clothed swordsman guessed that Jiangnan must also be proficient in voodoo.Otherwise, it is almost impossible to subdue the world's strange Gu such as the Golden Winged Flying Snake.

The reason why the gray-clothed swordsman gave Jiangnan the precious pill containing the puppet Gu was not only because he wanted to control Jiangnan, a sword master, but also because he coveted the golden-winged flying snake that belonged to Jiangnan.

Because controlling Jiangnan is equivalent to controlling the Golden Winged Flying Snake that has a contract with Jiangnan.

The temptation to kill two birds with one stone made the gray-clothed swordsman hardly hesitate.

However, when Jiangnan directly fed the pill to the Golden Winged Flying Snake, the gray-clothed swordsman knew that his plan had failed.

just.

He didn't believe that Jiang Nan had seen through the puppet Gu hidden in the pill.

And think it's all a coincidence—

It's Jiangnan who loves the Golden Winged Flying Snake so much that he can't wait to give his pet something good to eat.

Until Jiangnan stopped him and pointed out that there were "additions" in the pill.

Especially to the surprise of the gray-clothed swordsman, this strange master of "Xu surname" with both Gu and sword skills is actually Jiangnan who has made a splash in the Valley of Sword Immortals.

Moreover, Jiang Nan guessed his identity immediately.

The gray-clothed swordsman's thoughts turned, and he changed his mind immediately.

Open directly:
"That's right. This is the elder of the Royal Enshrining Group, code-named Xuanwu. I wonder if Mr. Jiang is interested in joining us and serving for the Lord of the World?"
