The two people in the white snow are not as conspicuous as two pieces of falling snow in the seemingly endless snow-capped mountains.
The two of them were traveling very slowly on the suspended snow path, but at last the cold wind was not too strong and would not blow them around. However, the occasional gust of wind that whizzed by still made Qining feel... The power of nature.
He wasn't sure whether there would be a bigger cold wind after dark. If a strong wind suddenly blew up in the middle of the night, he would be unable to move forward or retreat. His life would be in danger by then, so he While ensuring safety, he tried to speed up as much as possible.
"Do you really want to know why I do things for him?" Ximen Wuhen did not answer immediately after Qining asked the question. After walking for a while, he replied calmly.
Qi Ning said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether I want to know or not. What matters is whether the god is willing to tell."
Ximen Wuhen glanced at the opposite side and knew that it would take some time to walk through the suspended stone path. He thought for a while and then said: "You know that I am a bronze general, so you naturally know that I need to absorb human blood every once in a while. Ease the body’s injuries.”
"It turns out that the god is sucking human blood to heal wounds." Qining sighed.
As soon as the words came out, Ximen Wuhen was surprised and said: "Do you know that I am injured?"
"Did Shenhou forget that Miss Tang once checked your pulse?" Qi Ning did not hide anything: "At that time, Miss Tang had already found out that Shenhou's eight extraordinary meridians were damaged, and that Shenhou's Yang and Yin dimensions were damaged. The meridians are much thicker than those of ordinary people, so the pressure on the meridians will be extremely great."
When Qi Ning learned that Ximen Wuhen was ill, he asked Tang Nuo to follow him for diagnosis and treatment out of good intentions. However, he also learned that two of the eight meridians of Ximen Wuhen were abnormal, and according to Tang Nuo's He judged that he must have been injured by a master and would not survive long.
However, Qi Ning never expected that Ximen Wuhen sucked blood to heal his wounds. If the eight extraordinary meridians were injured, could blood be used to heal the wounds
Ximen Wuhen was not too surprised and sneered: "That girl's methods are not weak at all. After all, Li Xigong's disciples have some abilities."
Qi Ning sighed in his heart, it seemed that Ximen Wuhen had indeed investigated him, and even Tang Nuo's origins had been known for a long time.
"God Marquis, your martial arts skills are among the few in the world, and you are the God Marquis of Shenhou Mansion. Who can hurt you? Who dares to hurt you?" Qi Ning asked the biggest doubt in his heart. , as soon as the words came out, he suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but said: "Could it be...?" But he didn't say it out loud.
However, Ximen Wuhen laughed strangely and said: "Are you trying to say that the Dharma King Zhuri and the old man were both injured, so the person who injured me might be the Dharma King Zhuri, and the Dharma King Zhuri was also injured by me?"
Qi Ning said: "I do think so. If it is a great master who injured the god, then it is possible."
"You're not stupid." Ximen Wuhen's voice became lowered: "My injury was indeed caused by Dharma King Zhuri. The girl named Tang Nuo also guessed right. My injury has been delayed for several years. If it weren't for my internal strength, Deep and deep, I have already died a long time ago, but now my body is getting worse and worse. If I don’t do anything, I’m afraid I will really die.”
Qining understood immediately and said with a wry smile: "I heard that the Divine Marquis liked to walk alone in the rivers and lakes back then, and would hide his identity to compete with others in martial arts. The Divine Marquis was obsessed with martial arts, and he practiced the martial arts manuals of various sects, which can be said to be important to the world. Martial arts is at your fingertips, and the masters of the eight gangs and sixteen sects are all defeated by Shenhou...!" After a slight pause, he continued: "I also heard that a few years ago, Shenhou disappeared for more than a year, and this year There is no news at all, and even those in Shenhou Mansion don’t know the whereabouts of Shenhou. If I guessed correctly, Shenhou should have secretly come to Guxiang for more than a year.”
"You know a lot." Ximen Wuhen's voice came from behind: "I did come to Ancient Elephant back then. You must have guessed the reason why I came to Ancient Elephant Kingdom."
Qi Ning said: "The god has defeated all the invincible opponents in the Central Plains. It can be said that the master is lonely. The human heart is incompetent. Some people get a hundred taels of silver and want a thousand taels. After getting a thousand taels of silver, they want a thousand taels. This is just the desire of the gods. Unlike ordinary people, Shenhou pursues the pinnacle of martial arts. There are few opponents in the world. Shenhou is well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of various sects in the world. Under such circumstances, Shenhou must have felt that his martial arts cultivation has already reached its peak. Beyond ordinary people, you may even wonder if you have reached the realm of being a master."
Ximen Wuhen said in a deep voice: "Keep talking."
"But whether it has really reached the realm of the great master, even the divine lord himself is not sure." Qining said as he walked: "The divine lord pursues the pinnacle of martial arts. There are five great masters in the world. In the eyes of the divine lord, the only way to reach the realm of the great master is to reach the level of the great master." Yes, it is the realm that has truly reached the pinnacle of martial arts." He paused for a moment, looked up at the snowy peak on the opposite side, and at this time had already walked nearly halfway, and then continued: "So the god wants to verify. There is only one way to determine whether your martial arts cultivation reaches the level of a great master."
"What's the way?"
"Compare martial arts with a grand master." Qi Ning said: "As long as you are undefeated in a martial arts competition with any grand master, it can prove that the martial arts cultivation level of the god is already at the level of a grand master."
Ximen Wuhen suddenly smiled strangely and said: "Qining, you really did not disappoint me, you are extremely smart."
"But it's a big deal to have a martial arts competition with a great master." Qin Ning sighed: "The five great masters have a pact with Longshan. Naturally, they will not attack each other easily, and even they will not easily compete with each other. God Hou How can we find a great master to spar with each other? The thought of finding a great master to spar with each other must have been lingering in Shenhou's mind for many years, but Shenhou had some scruples and never dared to act rashly. That is to say, a few years ago, Shenhou just couldn't bear it. , I finally made up my mind.”
Ximen Wuhen laughed loudly and said: "So I chose Dharma King Zhuri, but among the five great masters, Dharma King Zhuri is the farthest from the Great Chu. Why did I choose him?"
"Beitang Huanye is from the Northern Han Dynasty, and the owner of Baiyun Island is from the Eastern Qi Dynasty. You are the Great Chu God, so it is naturally impossible to compete with these two people. If you are not careful, it may cause a huge disaster." Qining said: "As for the Sword God Beigong Liancheng, he is known as the patron saint of Da Chu. If the two masters compete with each other, if they want to show their true skills, they will always lose. Of course, the god will not think of letting outsiders compete with the two masters of Da Chu. There’s an opportunity to take advantage of it.”
"Then why didn't I choose the leader of the Black Lotus?" Ximen Wuhen said: "The leader of the Black Lotus is in our country of Chu and has no attachment to the imperial court. Moreover, the road is much closer than the Kingdom of Ancient Elephant. Isn't he very good? Candidate?"
Qi Ning smiled and said: "I have also thought that if we want to find a grand master to compete with, the Black Lotus leader should be the best candidate. Why would the god choose to be far away?" He sighed: "But I really can't guess what you big guys are thinking. "
"At this point, you are not even sure whether you can make it down the mountain alive. You might as well take a bold guess." Ximen Wuhen said: "With your intelligence, you may be able to guess right."
Qi Ning smiled and said, "That's true. I don't even know if I can make it down the mountain alive, so what else is there to be afraid of." After thinking for a moment, he said, "The god may have really issued a letter of war to the leader of the Black Lotus. Of course, It doesn’t have to be a letter of challenge, an invitation letter can also be used. In short, the god has made a request to the leader of the Black Lotus for a discussion, but... the leader of the Black Lotus did not agree. What is the reason, then I really can’t figure it out. Maybe The leader of the Black Lotus did not want to conflict with the imperial court, or the leader of the Black Lotus was practicing in seclusion at that time. Anyway, any reason could be possible, but in the end the hope of the god to compete with the leader of the Black Lotus was not realized. "
But no Ximen Wuhen's voice came from behind. Qining walked for a while, feeling a little strange. He couldn't help but look back, only to see Ximen Wuhen still following three or four steps behind him, with a solemn look on his face. He seems to be thinking about something.
After a while, Ximen Wuhen said: "You are right. I did challenge the Black Lotus Leader back then, but the Black Lotus Leader gave me a two-word reply." He laughed strangely and said, "No fight, this was his reply.”
Qi Ning thought to himself that his IQ was not weak at all. Ximen Wuhen had really put a lot of thought into challenging the Grand Master back then.
"The leader of the Black Lotus refused to fight. As a result, only Dharma King Zhuri was left among the five great masters to challenge." Ximen Wuhen said: "So I prepared for half a year and left the Shenhou Mansion to Xuanyuan Po, and then I set off here. Ancient elephant.”
"His Majesty Zhuri naturally accepted the challenge from God," Qining said.
Ximen Wuhen sneered and said: "When I first came to Guxiang, I just thought that Dharma King Zhuri was in the temple, so I sincerely issued a challenge to the temple, but the temple turned me away. It was not easy for me to give you any answer. Of course I would not give up halfway. I stayed outside the temple and waited. I waited for two months before the temple took action and sent a Hutuk. Trying to compete with me...!" He smiled disdainfully and said: "I defeated him within three moves, and then challenged the King of Chasing the Sun again, but there was no response from the temple. Later I found out that the Chasing of the Sun was not in the temple. Inside, the temple is managed by the four great Hutuktu, and the one who really sticks to his word is the Great Hutuktu Asidala."
"So the god went directly to the Snowy Mountains?"
Ximen Wuhen smiled and said: "The Snowy Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles and the environment is harsh. If there is no guide to lead the way, I may not be able to find traces of Dharma King Zhuri even if I search for half a year in the Snowy Mountains, so I took action to make Hutuktu a success. My guide, he led me up the mountain and found the Dharma King Chasing the Sun."
He said it in an understatement, but Qining knew that the situation at that time must have been thrilling.
Asidala is the great Hutuktu of the temple. If Ximen Wuhen wants Asidala to lead the way, there will inevitably be a fight. In the end, the temple will be subdued by Ximen Wuhen. At least Asidala will be defeated by Ximen Wuhen. Hen forced him to go up the mountain.
How he forced Asidala to lead the way was not important. What was important was that Ximen Wuhen actually went to the Snowy Mountains and faced off against the great master, King Zhuri.
