Chapter 154 Mo Chou
Chapter 154 Mo Chou
night.
Lakeside.
"Roasted chicken wings are my favorite."
Gu Qianbei was carefully roasting chicken wings he had taken from Cangguang Gourd, skewered on bamboo sticks.
The fresh chicken wings are roasted to a golden brown and crispy perfection, making them incredibly tempting.
"This feels great. The scenery is beautiful, the air is fresh, and the roasted chicken wings smell delicious."
Gu Qianbei poked the roasted chicken wing, and seeing that it was almost cooked, he took it off with satisfaction and took a bite.
"Yeah, my barbecue skills are getting better and better."
Gu Qianbei nodded in satisfaction.
"After practicing my skills, taking a bite of this tender and juicy roasted chicken wing is truly one of life's greatest pleasures."
In the afternoon, Gu Qianbei, who had obtained a fragment of the Nine Yin Manual, took a sip of Thousand Days Intoxication and immediately mastered most of it.
None of them were particularly complex martial arts techniques; he could master them in no time.
The most interesting one is naturally the Soul Transfer Technique.
They can unleash powerful mental energy with their eyes, interfering with the enemy's will and even controlling them.
Yang Guo later incorporated this martial art into the Ecstasy Palm, naming it Faceless, which also had the effect of disrupting the enemy's mind.
"Wang Chongyang used the Soul Transfer Technique to break the Twin Swords Combination in the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, which was quite insidious."
While cultivating, Gu Qianbei couldn't help but have this thought pop into his mind.
The most powerful technique in the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra is the combination of two swords, but if it encounters the Soul Transfer Technique, the two swords will be useless because they cannot communicate with each other.
Just as Gu Qianbei was eating grilled chicken wings, Li Mochou arrived again.
"Why haven't you left yet? Still grilling chicken wings here?"
Bored in the ancient tomb, Li Mochou wanted to go out for a walk, but unexpectedly she smelled the aroma of roasted chicken wings, so she followed the smell.
Upon seeing that it was Gu Qianbei, Li Mochou was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward.
"The scenery here is beautiful. I plan to stay here for seven days and experience the beauty of Zhongnan Mountain."
Gu Qianbei said with a smile.
"So you're planning to camp out in the wild? Why don't you stay at the Quanzhen Sect in the mountains?"
"I don't really like those Taoist priests."
Gu Qianbei shook his head.
Although the Quanzhen Sect is portrayed as the leader of the righteous path in both The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes, Gu Qianbei is not particularly fond of it.
Qiu Chuji in The Legend of the Condor Heroes caused countless problems, while the Quanzhen Sect in The Return of the Condor Heroes was practically a villain.
The Seven Masters of Quanzhen, who cannot distinguish right from wrong, Zhao Zhijing, who bears the title of villain, and the notorious lecher Zhen Zhibing.
If the leader of the righteous path is like this, then the martial world is truly doomed.
Their martial arts skills are lacking, and they also have serious moral issues. It's no wonder Gu Qianbei has no liking for them.
"What a coincidence! I don't like those old-fashioned people either."
Li Mochou felt that she had found common ground with Gu Qianbei, and immediately sat down next to him.
"Why is the young lady here so late at night instead of sleeping?"
"Couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk. I live just up ahead, very close by. Your chicken wings smell delicious..."
Li Mochou's gaze fell on the chicken wings, and she even swallowed hard.
"Would you like to try some?"
Gu Qianbei smiled and raised the remaining roasted chicken wings.
"May I?"
"Of course, it's not anything valuable."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
The Ancient Tomb Sect's cuisine is light, and Li Mochou had never tasted such flavorful roasted chicken wings before. She was immediately overjoyed.
"Delicious! You don't sell chicken wings outside, do you?"
Li Mochou said this while eating.
"Brewing wine is my true talent; these roasted chicken wings are just a hobby."
I didn't have any honey today, otherwise my honey-roasted chicken wings would have been even tastier.
Upon hearing this, Li Mochou's heart stirred.
Gu Qianbei shook the Cangguang gourd in his hand, poured himself a cup of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
Grilled chicken wings with fine wine – one of life's greatest pleasures.
"This wine smells wonderful, would I like a sip?"
Li Mochou was tempted.
"OK."
Gu Qianbei's golden light condensed in his wine cup, and he poured a cup of bamboo dew wine for Li Mochou.
Li Mochou's eyes widened.
"How did this wine glass appear out of thin air?"
"It's just a skill."
As Gu Qianbei spoke, he handed the wine to Li Mochou.
Li Mochou clicked her tongue in amazement, took the golden wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, and her eyes immediately lit up.
This is so awesome!
The crispy and juicy roasted chicken wings paired with this sip of fine wine made Li Mochou feel incredibly refreshed.
Wow! Is the food in the outside world this good?
Li Mochou sighed, and at the same time, she longed for the outside world even more.
"The world is full of wonderful things, and there are certainly many delicious foods to enjoy. Judging from your tone, it seems you've never been outside the mountains?"
Gu Qianbei asked the question knowing the answer, but Li Mochou revealed her sorrow.
"Yes. Our sect has a rule that we are not allowed to leave Zhongnan Mountain. Since joining the sect, I have never left."
I've only been to the market at the foot of the mountain a few times, following Granny Sun who goes there to buy vegetables.
Trapping a young girl in the prime of her life in an ancient tomb is indeed going too far.
"Does the young lady wish to leave the mountains?"
"Of course I wanted to. But I wouldn't dare disobey my master's orders."
Seeing Li Mochou like this, Gu Qianbei didn't know how to comfort her.
Advising someone to betray their master?
That would be extremely unethical.
Advise them to leave?
She encountered a scumbag as soon as she stepped out the door, and even became the Red Serpent Fairy, seemingly not very responsible towards the common people.
However, seeing the innocent and naive Li Mochou today, Gu Qianbei found it difficult to associate her with the ruthless and bloodthirsty Chilian Fairy he remembered.
Lu Zhanyuan, you've really done something terrible.
"Can you tell me about what's happening outside?"
Li Mochou stared intently at Gu Qianbei, her eyes practically brimming with curiosity.
"OK."
Gu Qianbei did not refuse.
During this period of time, when I was teaching Yang Guo, he told me many stories and had already mastered the skills.
Then he began to talk about the outside world.
A story naturally needs a main plot, and Gu Qianbei thought The Eagle Shooting Heroes was a good story.
Based on the timeline, the story of Shooting the Eagle has already ended, making it a good time to bring it up.
Li Mochou listened with rapt attention, finding the world of martial arts outside truly fascinating.
"These Seven Heroes of Jiangnan are really cool! For a promise, they stayed in the desert for so many years and even lost one person's life."
Upon hearing this story, Li Mochou couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes. These Seven Heroes of Jiangnan are indeed rare heroes. It's just that they're not very good at teaching martial arts to their disciples."
Gu Qianbei laughed.
"Indeed. Who teaches martial arts like this? Even a peerless genius would be confused if someone tried to learn seven completely different martial arts at the same time."
Li Mochou nodded with deep feeling, then looked up at the moon.
"Ah! It's so late! I have to hurry back. If Master finds out I've been wandering around, he'll definitely scold me."
Li Mochou immediately got up and ran towards the ancient tomb.
Halfway through the run, she turned back to look at Gu Qianbei, her face showing a mixture of trepidation and anticipation.
"Can you tell me a story again tomorrow?"
"certainly."
Li Mochou immediately smiled.
"You're such a nice person, see you tomorrow!"
As Li Mochou gradually disappeared from Gu Qianbei's sight, Gu Qianbei sighed, "Lu Zhanyuan, you really deserve to die."
