Chapter 282 Showdown (2)
The tea room is as bright as day thanks to the bronze mirror dimming device.
The stunning beauty was dressed in gorgeous clothes and ornaments, with a dignified demeanor, lowered brows and eyes, and a gentle smile. There was no sign of the coldness and ferocity she showed when facing the enemy.
Everyone listened to Gong Shangjiao listing Zhang Xueming's brilliant achievements in those years one by one. Those shocking figures attracted their attention to Zhang Xueming frequently.
Zhang Xueming remained unmoved. She just covered her red lips lightly with a black handkerchief with gold edges, turned sideways and raised her sleeves to cover her face. After spitting out the blood, she rinsed her mouth, wiped the corners of her mouth, then put down the wide sleeves that covered her face and smiled apologetically at everyone, as if the killing god who had killed Wufeng and cowered like a mouse by himself as described by Gong Shangjiao had nothing to do with her.
At this time, Gong Shangjiao said: "It has been confirmed that among the four Wufeng monsters, except for Pei Xu, the Eastern Monster, the other three monsters have been killed, including Han Yike, the Northern Monster who invaded the palace ten years ago."
He also glanced at Gong Huanyu meaningfully, and said lightly: "When Zhao Zhao killed Han Yi Ke and the Western Ghost Wan Qi Ai, she did not know their identities and did not give them a chance to speak. She just thought that the one who attacked her was a crazy martial artist. After killing them, she erased all traces, and Wu Feng has not received any news yet."
Gong Huanyu met Zhang Xueming's smiling eyes and shuddered unconsciously. He lowered his head and said meekly, "Thank you, Miss Zhao, for showing mercy."
Zhang Xueming nodded slightly and responded sincerely: "Mr. Huanyu, you are too polite. Even though Mr. Huanyu has been cruel to us three siblings time and time again, as a sister, I can't bear to hurt my brother's heart that swore to protect every bloodline of the Gong family. I only hope that Mr. Huanyu will turn over a new leaf, calm down and change his skills to start over... This time, please don't choose a violent and quick success method, and choose a steady and steady one like me."
These words choked the two people.
Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Zishang lowered their heads and held back their laughter. Gong Zishang even pulled her left hand and wrote on her palm: Well said!
This made the bystanders feel even more complicated.
Gong Huanyu hesitated for a while, and before Gong Shangjiao could continue, he asked Zhang Xueming, "May I ask why Miss Zhao advised me to change my cultivation method?"
Zhang Xueming looked at Gong Shangjiao, who nodded to let her do whatever she wanted, as a break, so she answered: "Everyone who went to the secret passage that night was poisoned. A Yuan lost all his internal strength, and I also lost nearly half of my internal strength. The same is true for the other martial artists, so why did Master Huan Yu's internal strength surge?
Last night I checked and found that Yun Weishan's Dantian meridians have been repaired. If Yuegong has a magic medicine that can quickly increase internal strength, they will not be reluctant to give it to her... I think about it, and Master Huanyu's abnormality is quite similar to what someone once told me about, that is, the result of practicing the magic of the wedding dress. "
"Wedding Dress Divine Art?" Gong Huanyu asked doubtfully, "I am practicing the Mystic Stone Internal Art of the Gushan Sect."
Thinking of the martial arts novels he had read in middle school in his previous life, Zhang Xueming couldn't help but reveal a trace of nostalgia: "The name of the Wedding Clothes Divine Art means 'making wedding clothes for others'. This art is extremely strong and masculine, and the speed of internal strength growth is extremely fast. It has a total of eight levels. When you practice to the sixth level, you have to transfer the power you have cultivated to others, and then practice from the beginning, so that you can quickly break through to the seventh level and practice to the eighth level of great perfection.
This is a martial arts Zen technique, which is meant to make practitioners understand the importance of sacrifice. If a practitioner is reluctant to give up the internal strength gained through hard work and hesitates to make up his mind, he will become paralyzed and die in pain. If one does not believe in evil and wants to force a breakthrough, he will inevitably go astray, become bloodthirsty and kill without any regard for his relatives. "
This characteristic is very similar to the black stone internal energy. Gong Huanyu was shocked and sweat broke out on his forehead. The core of the skill is actually making choices. Doesn't that mean he practiced it wrong from the beginning?
However, Gong Yuanzheng misunderstood that Zhang Xueming's profound internal strength came from this, and that the person who taught her this was most likely her two cousins who were unfortunately killed by Wufeng, so he held her hand tightly to comfort her.
The others all looked at each other in bewilderment, feeling quite surprised - Gong Zishang did not practice martial arts, Gong Ziyu did not like to practice martial arts, and everyone else, including the elders, were law-abiding. Family rules did not allow them to practice other families' martial arts, and they were not even interested in watching them. This was the first time they had heard of such a strange martial art in the world.
Zhang Xueming glanced at Gong Huanyu calmly and continued, "More than two years ago, Young Master Huanyu used the excuse of wanting to break through his skills and asked Old Zhiren to order Ah Yuan's Chuyun Chonglian to be taken away, but he didn't use it. Instead, he gave it to Manager Jia of the Medical Clinic to treat his seriously ill son. He used this as a handle to make him replace it with Old Zhiren's Baicaocui during this marriage selection... In fact, at that time, Young Master Huanyu had already forced a breakthrough and became possessed, right?"
Gong Shangjiao gathered people here tonight to clarify the matter, so he let her do what she wants.
Gong Huanyu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Gong Ziyu, who had an expressionless face and lowered eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
In fact, last night in the dungeon, when Zhang Xueming exposed his plan to kill his father, Gong Ziyu questioned him. His plan failed, and he was trapped in the cell and couldn't get out. He was so angry that he said a lot of hurtful words.
After escaping from the illusion, he found that he had lost all his internal strength again and didn't want to talk. Gong Ziyu was also unusually silent. The two brothers didn't speak again until the craftsmen of the Shang Palace chiseled open the stone wall and rescued them.
Gong Huanyu sighed secretly in his heart, looked around at the people with different expressions, and nodded in acknowledgement: "Yes."
This time, the dissipation of internal energy was different from the last time. It was accompanied by a sense of clarity and peace of mind, and his demonic paranoia also disappeared for the most part.
Gong Huanyu's mind was clear now, and he was able to reflect on his past. He no longer dared to do or admit his past actions, and he was not afraid to do or admit his past actions.
However, "I didn't ask for the Izumo Juren on my own initiative. I wanted to break through on my own at that time, but after several failures, my father... my uncle asked me to stop and said he would go get the Izumo Juren for me. I refused, but he completely ignored me and brought the Izumo Juren to me the next day, saying that he had asked Gong Shangjiao for it."
Gong Yuanzheng tried to hold back, but couldn't help but speak: "My brother was not at the palace gate at that time. It was the old sword master who asked Huang Yushi of the Elders' Council to take Chu Yun Zhong Lian away by force with his sword master's warrant."
The two elders and a former elder all started to cough awkwardly. Gong Shangjiao took out a small medicine bottle from his sleeve pocket at the right time and gave each of the three old men a pill: "Chuanbei Throat-Rinsing Pills, prepared by Yuanzheng, specially for treating dry throat and cough, the effect is quite good."
The three old men felt upset, looked at his serious face, silently took the pills and put them into their mouths.
Zhang Xueming squeezed Gong Yuanzheng's hand soothingly, tapped the low table with his fingers, and brought the topic back to the topic: "Master Huanyu revealed his intentions after taking Chinese medicine in the secret passage, and was sent to the Moon Palace in the back mountain by Old Zhiren to 'rest'... You were fed a drug to dissipate your power there, and since it was beneficial to you, you took the opportunity to practice again, but because you overheard the conversation between Master Yue and Yun Weishan, you discovered that Master Yue had taken in and sheltered the assassin Yun Que two years ago, and was deceived into helping Yun Que fake his death and escape from the palace. You were angry for a moment, and became obsessed again?"
Gong Huanyu nodded in acknowledgment, and sneered, "I also heard him tell Yun Weishan that my parents both died at the hands of Wu Feng. He was afraid that I would wake up and find out that he didn't use Yun Weishan to test the medicine, which would be bad for Yun Weishan. He found out that I still had half of my internal strength, so he gave me a power-dispersing medicine before I woke up."
