With the power of AI, you become a giant in the magic world!

"Suddenly, as if in one night... thousands of trees..."

Gu Xia sat alone in Xuesha Village, lighting a bonfire and roasting a chicken.

He was the only living person left in such a large village.

As dusk fell, the north wind howled outside the door, like the howling of Hades.

Gu Xia looked calm inside the house, and in front of him were things that he thought were valuable or could be taken away.

Five days had passed since Chaosha's defeat.

After the victory, it was time to clean up the battlefield. Gu Xia spent a few days searching the mountain village.

He focused on searching the residences of the three heads of the family, and indeed found several secret compartments.

Gu Xia knew that there must be a lot of missing wealth in the mountain village, but he didn't have the energy and was too lazy to search again.

The things he found mainly included silver, various goods, jewelry, elixirs and several books, as well as Chaosha's black iron fist gloves and Sima Bu's strange bronze mirror.

In addition, dozens of two-legged sheep that had been dismantled and pickled for the winter were found in the warehouse. Gu Xia found time to dig a pit and buried them all.

This bandit-suppression trip was quite fruitful, with more than 2,000 taels of silver.

There were also 100 taels of gold and a box of jewelry and jade.

In addition, there were three boxes of copper plates, a box of big money, and hundreds of cloth. Because they were too heavy and large, Gu Xia did not plan to take them away.

"The family became wealthy all of a sudden."

What made Gu Xia most happy was not the money, but the discovery of several secret books, one of which was called "Blood Demon Art".

However, this Blood Demon Art was obviously thicker than the version in Gu Xia's hand. When he opened it, he found that this book not only had the opening chapter, but also the Xuanliu chapter and the Entering Zang chapter.

More importantly, there was also a Chaosha practice note, which detailed the various precautions, taboos, and his practice experience of the Blood Demon Art.

With the notes, Gu Xia would not make any mistakes when practicing the Blood Demon Art.

Yes, although he knew that the Blood Demon Technique had serious side effects, Gu Xia did not intend to give up.

In addition, there is a fragment of the "General Outline of Acupoints", which records 47 acupoints.

In ancient times, Emperor Zulong defeated Emperor Shilong and established the Great Yan Dynasty.

The Yan Dynasty worshipped martial arts, so Zulong collected the methods of opening the acupoints in the world and selected the best ones to compile the "General Outline of Acupoints" which recorded the methods of opening the 361 acupoints in the body for people to learn.

But after the demise of the Yan Dynasty, the Kun Dynasty and the Ji Dynasty saw that some people used Xuanwu and Taoism to cause chaos in the world, so they strictly prohibited private practice of Xuanwu and confiscated martial arts books in the world, and the first to bear the brunt was the "General Outline of Acupoints".

The dynasties that followed also banned martial arts and confiscated books for various reasons many times.

As time passed, the "General Outline of Acupoints" that has been completed can be counted on one hand.

A broken "General Outline of Acupoints" that is less than one-third of the original can become the treasure of the Tianxuan Sect.

"This is the complete chapter of the extra-classical acupoints!"

Gu Xia was pleasantly surprised.

The original version of "General Outline of Acupuncture Points" is divided into 15 chapters, 12 meridians, Ren and Du meridians, and this chapter on extra meridians.

The "General Outline of Acupuncture Points" of Tianxuan Sect was obviously copied secretly. It is estimated that time was short, so some parts were copied from the 12 meridians and Ren and Du meridians.

But the part on extra meridians is not even available in Tianxuan Sect.

"With this extra meridians chapter! If I can find a way to get the remaining copy of "General Outline of Acupuncture Points" in the sect, and then

complete the 12 meridians and Ren and Du meridians chapters with the calculation of the stars!

Then I can open up all 361 acupoints in the body!"

Gu Xia made up his mind silently.

Continue to check.

I saw another secret book called "Qingxuan Daozang", which was searched out of the room of the demon Taoist Sima Bu.

"This is a soul cultivation method! Why is it a fragment? Should I practice it? Maybe I can try dual cultivation?"

Since ancient times, there have been two main branches of Xuanqi practitioners, Xuanwu and soul cultivation. Xuanwu cultivates the body, and soul cultivates the soul.

From the perspective of fighting methods, Xuanwu body cultivators are called warriors, and soul cultivators are called sorcerers.

Compared to warriors, soul cultivators have a mysterious color, with treacherous methods and hard to guard against. The impression they give to mortals is either an old master or a stinky demon.

Gu Xia continued to count.

"This is! Qi and Blood Pills!"

Opening a porcelain bottle, a familiar smell came immediately.

Gu Xia remembered that Chaosha also practiced blood magic, and it was even easier for him to kill people and refine medicine as a bandit.

He counted and found that there were 12 Qi and Blood Pills in one bottle, a total of 12 bottles, and there were about 100 Qi and Blood Pills left that he had refined himself.

"Enough! Enough!"

Gu Xia was overjoyed.

"Although there were twists and turns in this bandit-suppression trip, and I almost died, I gained a lot! I got the silver, secret books, and elixirs that I was in short supply.

I will go down the mountain and return to Shanyang Town tomorrow."

At night.

Gu Xia leaned against the fire, playing with the mirage mirror found on Sima Bu's body with one hand, and flipping through the secret books with the other hand.

But he read very quickly, and soon finished flipping through a secret book, and then he threw the secret book into the fire without hesitation.

Then he picked up another secret book, read it quickly again, and threw it into the fire again.

Gu Xia was not photographic, but Xingchen was taking pictures with his optic nerves and eyeballs, storing all the secret books in the database.

He didn't plan to take these secret books away, especially the blood demon technique.

Just now, when Gu Xia was checking the contents of the secret book, he learned the second taboo of the blood demon technique besides the blood disaster.

Never let outsiders know that you are practicing this technique, otherwise all warriors in the world will kill you!

The blood demon technique is an absolute taboo in the martial arts world! Even most people in the demonic world are hostile to those who practice the blood demon technique.

It seems that the Blood Demon Art will cause some serious consequences, but the book is vague and unwilling to elaborate on it, only vaguely mentioning the word "disaster".

Gu Xia vaguely understood why the only disadvantage of the Blood Demon Art is that it is harmful to the harmony of nature, but in the martial arts world where people's lives are regarded as worthless, few people practice it.

"I must be more cautious in the future and never reveal that I have practiced the Blood Demon Art.

The chapter on the outer acupoints in the "General Outline of Acupoints" cannot be handed in. A complete chapter on the acupoints will definitely attract the attention of the sect. It would be bad if the masters of the sect see anything."

...

The next day, in the morning.

The heavy snow stopped and the sun rose.

Gu Xia gathered all the corpses of the bandits in the meeting hall and sprinkled them with oil from the warehouse.

He threw a torch.

Boom!

The flames burned instantly, and soon the flames rushed to the beams, and the entire meeting hall was set on fire.

The flames several meters high ignited the surroundings like dominoes.

When they met, a sea of ​​fire rose up. Gu Xia carried the collected property on his back and left the Xuesha Village through the hidden exit he found on the mountain wall a few days ago.

He didn't want people to find out that most of the bandits died from bloodsucking, so he simply ended everything with a fire.

...

Shanyang Town.

In the yamen, Lei Tianyuan had been frowning for several days.

"Alas... Master Qian, I wonder how Master Fan is doing?"

The master next to him said: "Sir, this mountain road is cut off, and Master Fan and his men are isolated and helpless. I'm afraid they have died a long time ago."

Lei Tianyuan: "What can we do? The bandits will harm the people again in the spring."

Master: "Sir, let's not talk about the bandits for now. Mr. Gu is a disciple of Tianxuan Sect. Let's think about how to explain it first.

Tianxuan Sect has always acted in an extremely domineering manner. Now that a disciple has disappeared here, this matter is no less harmful to us than the bandits!"

"This..." Lei Tianyuan frowned even more.

At this moment, a yamen runner ran in and fell down.

"Sir! Sir!"

Lei Tianyuan: "What's the matter? Why are you panicking?"

The yamen runner said anxiously: "Master Gu has returned alone!"
