Gu Xiaoning sighed and explained the reason. It turned out that since her parents died, she vowed to learn the lost tricks of the Gu family so that she could protect herself if she encountered such a situation again. She basically figured out what was going on in her conversation with Ya Zi. Their Gu family migrated from Sichuan to the Northeast many years ago. Her ancestors were also descendants of the jade refining technique, but they only learned the basics. The more they passed down, the more things were lost. By the time of her grandfather's generation, it was almost extinct.
So before her grandfather died, he told his descendants not to practice these useless things anymore, to be ordinary people, and to live a peaceful life. For example, Gu Laozhong and the eldest brother, the duck's father, did not learn any magic. But her third uncle was a very smart man. He secretly learned those fur jade refining techniques. After her grandfather died, he left Nanwupo to venture out, and he has not been seen for more than ten years.
After she found the secret book of cultivation at home, she returned to the troupe and practiced secretly in the middle of the night. It was simply a fantasy for a girl who had never been exposed to magic to practice this kind of thing without anyone to guide her. Guess what, her third uncle suddenly appeared in her dream some time ago, taught her the trick, and told her that there were two things hidden in a city in the south, asking her to go and find them, which would be very helpful for practicing magic.
This southern city is our provincial capital. For the people in the Northeast, our north is also their south. Gu Xiaoning ran to the southern provincial capital and found two blood talismans and a "Bao Yuan Pearl" in a dilapidated house. The pearl was actually a pill, and the two blood talismans were "severing meridians and stopping flow".
When I heard the term "severing meridians and cutting off the flow", I was shocked. That thing exists in the Great Wuliang Art. It is an evil method to improve and shorten the time of practicing magic. It is very dangerous. Regardless of Taoism or witchcraft, the practice is inseparable from the twelve meridians in the human body. The highest realm is to connect the meridians. In order to achieve the effect of pulling up the seedlings to help them grow, the meridians will be cut off and a shortcut will be taken to connect the broken meridians. If you are not careful, you will immediately report to the underworld, and there will be no room for maneuver.
Gu Xiaoning explained to Yazi in detail that this Baoyuan Pearl was a life-saving pearl to prevent accidents. After eating it, no matter what the consequences were, there would be no danger to life. Thanks to the guidance of her uncle in her dreams and the help of the meridian-breaking technique, she had made some progress in magic in three months and had also practiced a lot of kung fu.
Two days ago, her third uncle told her in a dream that the world was about to be in chaos and that many people might go to Sichuan to steal the jade refining technique left by their ancestors, so he asked her to hurry to Bazhong and have a good talk with Gu Qinglin, asking her to take away a copy of the jade refining secret manual to prevent the technique from being lost in the world.
After hearing this, I understood everything. Gu Xiaoning and Gu Qinglin were both descendants of jade refining. The difference was that her ancestor went to the northeast in his early years and did not learn anything. Speaking of which, the five mournings between them had already passed. Beyond the five mournings, there was no family affection, but there was an ancestor named Gu that connected them.
I was very interested in this third uncle she mentioned, and I had a vague guess in my mind who he was. If things went as expected, it should be Boss Gu. He came to find a jade refiner with my father six years ago, which means that he couldn't deal with Tan Qing in the provincial capital at that time, so he looked for his roots and wanted to learn the magic of jade refining. I guess that because of the killing of Ma Mingshi's lover, Ma Mingshi must have instigated Gu Qinglin and would not let Boss Gu get his wish.
After thinking about these things, I began to yearn for the art of jade refining. Isn't this just a skill to glue broken jade together? How can it be a magic? The jade refining blood beast is so magical that I would not believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.
"Who?" Duck shouted coldly, waking me from my thoughts.
I looked over and saw two black clouds gradually transforming into two ghost shapes in the flashlight. Damn, it turned out to be Lao Qian and Lao Yan!
These two old bastards, no, two old ghosts, are just helping dogs eat shit. I want to peel off their ghost skins. But now I can't figure out the situation, so I have to bear it and see what happens.
The two old bastards sneered, which made Ya Zi and Gu Xiaoning look surprised. Ya Zi frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
"The ghost messenger is here to take your lives!" Old Yan said in a cold voice with a smug look on his face.
I snorted in my heart. What kind of ghost messengers are you? You are just running dogs under Mei Ruoqi. You are so complacent that you think you are the big boss? You want to kill Gu Xiaoning. It is obvious that you want to stop the Gu family from taking the jade refining technique away. This makes me even more puzzled. What is so magical about the jade refining technique that is worth these damn guys to mobilize in large numbers? I can't think of other magical things. At least the two pieces of broken jade in my buddy's hand can never be glued together. I think it must be because of this matter that Gu Qinglin was killed before me.
Once Gu Qinglin dies, even if I get that magical jade refining secret score, I won't be able to learn it right away. At present, only Gu Xiaoning can help me if she gets the secret score. No matter what, I can't let her lose her life.
I have moxa leaves sealed on my forehead now, so the two old bastards can't find me. I sneaked out from behind the tree, went around behind them, reached into my pocket with my right hand and grabbed the copper coin.
Just as I was about to make a move, I heard a scream from the duck. I thought something was wrong and poked my head out from between two trees to take a look. I don’t know what method the two old bastards used, but the lower half of the duck had turned into smoke, and then the upper half quickly turned into mist and drifted away in the wind.
Gu Xiaoning cried, "Duck..." and rushed towards the two old bastards, throwing the flashlight violently, and making a very strange gesture with her hands up and down. Her right hand was in a claw shape on top, and her left hand was in a seal shape on the bottom.
Old Qian swept the flashlight away and said with a chuckle, "This girl is pretty, Old Yan, we haven't had sex with women for a long time, why don't we have some sex tonight?"
Old Yan snorted coldly: "Let's get down to business. Kill this woman and return to report."
Gu Xiaoning rushed to the two of them and stood three feet away. She chanted loudly: "Blue dragon's brilliance, white tiger's brilliance, the light shines in all directions..."
In the middle of her weird gesture, a ball of white light suddenly lit up, and she thrust her hands forward, and the white light shot out like a cannonball. The two old bastards were frightened and dodged in a hurry, but they were too close, and they probably didn't expect this girl to use such a powerful spell, so they underestimated her. Even though they dodged in time, the white light hit the sleeves of the two old bastards, igniting a ball of fire.
I couldn't help but be interested. This horror was also something from the jade refining technique, right? From the jade refining blood beast used by Xiaofan to the ball of white light used by Gu Xiaoning, it felt as magical as magic.
Old Yan exclaimed: "This is the magical light of jade refining, hurry up and use your ultimate move..."
The two old bastards suddenly started spinning rapidly, like two spinning tops, so fast that only a group of black shadows and flames could be seen, and their ghostly appearance could not be seen at all.
“Ah…” Gu Xiaoning screamed and flew backwards, being killed by two old bastards.
