Chapter 163 Departure
Chapter 163 Departure
"The move is good, but the wind-up is too long. If you want to use it, you need to practice to shorten the wind-up."
Gu Qianbei murmured to himself, then took out the Stop-Cup Sword, downed a Thousand Days of Intoxication in one gulp, and began practicing his moves.
Gu Qianbei held the sword upright in his right hand, with the tip pointing upwards, while his left hand's sword fingers swept from the middle of the sword towards the tip.
In an instant, a yellow light emanated from the sword finger.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Qianbei waved his left hand in the air, seemingly waving it randomly, but in reality he was silently reciting the poem "Free and Easy Wandering".
"In the Northern Sea there is a fish, its name is Kun!"
Golden characters flowed continuously from the sword finger, forming runes that gathered around Gu Qianbei, shining brightly and looking very beautiful.
Golden rays emanated from Gu Qianbei and spread outwards, exuding power.
As Gu Qianbei finished his last stroke, countless characters converged, illuminating the entire courtyard.
Yang Guo was drawn to this scene and jogged over.
Looking at Gu Qianbei amidst the golden characters, it was as if watching an immortal descend to earth.
"this……"
Yang Guo's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.
That's a really cool move.
Golden runes seemed to come alive, constantly moving around Gu Qianbei.
It may seem harmless, but if someone is hit by it, they will likely suffer serious injury.
"Guo'er, you're here! Come and try out your master's sword techniques!"
Gu Qianbei saw Yang Guo and said with a smile.
"good!"
Yang Guo drew the heavy Xuan Tie sword from behind him. Although it was very difficult, after this period of training and the Xuan Snake Dew bath, he was able to do it in a few moves.
Gu Qianbei suppressed the power of his sword strikes and manipulated the golden runes to smash towards Yang Guo.
Yang Guo immediately swung his Xuan Tie Heavy Sword and smashed it towards the golden rune.
With a loud bang, the golden runes remained motionless, while the heavy sword was knocked away.
"Hmm? Is it still a bit too heavy?"
Gu Qianbei frowned slightly and withdrew his strength again.
Yang Guo stared in astonishment at the flying Xuan Tie Heavy Sword.
Even though he was not strong enough, this heavy sword was really heavy.
The golden rune so easily sent the heavy sword, weighing tens of kilograms, flying; its power was truly astounding.
But this is not the end.
The golden rune spun in the air and flew towards Yang Guo.
Yang Guo was shocked and quickly dodged.
"Master! I surrender! Don't come anymore!"
Yang Guo shouted as he fled, howling as he fled.
Gu Qianbei smiled faintly and said, "Guo'er, I'm leaving tomorrow. Tonight I'll teach you one more set of lightness skills. Study hard!"
Gu Qianbei immediately manipulated the golden runes and chased after Yang Guo relentlessly.
"Master! Is there a more respectable way to cultivate?"
"no."
Gu Qianbei continuously wielded the Stop Cup Sword in his hand, manipulating the golden runes to launch a series of attacks.
Each attack forced Yang Guo to step into the points he had designed, which was precisely the movement trajectory of the Phoenix Dance Six Illusions.
After going back and forth, Yang Guo actually memorized all of his footwork.
The rest is just a matter of gradual cultivation.
As one's internal strength deepens, their lightness skill will gradually become more formidable.
A quarter of an hour later, Yang Guo was panting heavily, but his eyes suddenly brightened, clearly indicating that he had grasped most of the key points.
"good."
Gu Qianbei smiled with satisfaction, then manipulated the golden runes to accelerate instantly, binding Yang Guo tightly.
"Master! Why are you tying me up?"
Yang Guo was completely bewildered.
"Let's try this trick for other effects. It seems to work well for tying people up too."
Gu Qianbei smiled, then felt that if he gently clenched his left hand, the golden rune would transform into sword energy and slice Yang Guo into minced meat.
That's just too brutal.
At that moment, a thought struck him, and he dispersed his inner energy, and everything returned to normal.
"How was it? Did you remember the footwork just now? This is my signature lightness skill, Phoenix Dance Six Illusions."
If you complete your training, as long as you don't provoke those old monsters, you can roam freely throughout the vast world.
"I've got it, Master! But this footwork is too profound; it will take a long time to learn it completely."
Yang Guo closed his eyes and recalled the footwork he had just used before, then said.
"Just remember that. Learning martial arts is something that can be done overnight. With slow and steady practice, you will gradually become stronger."
Gu Qianbei patted Yang Guo on the shoulder, signaling him to work hard.
Tomorrow, Master and I will be parting ways. Tonight, Gu Qianbei was also a little sentimental, so he immediately taught Yang Guo a lot more things.
"Master, will you teach me how to brew wine? I haven't really learned a single method of brewing wine yet."
"If I learn how to brew wine, Master, you won't need to send anyone to restock the wine supply in Xiangyang anymore; I can make it myself."
"Alright. Then I'll teach you the first wine I brewed, Dragon Tiger Wine."
"Um!"
That night, the master and apprentice barely slept, but both had a very fulfilling time.
The next morning, Yang Guo was already asleep, too tired to continue.
Gu Qianbei smiled and placed him on the bed, covering him with a blanket.
When Cheng Lingsu arrived with her bundle, Yang Guo was still asleep.
Gu Qianbei didn't intend to wake him up, but left directly with Cheng Lingsu.
"Aren't you going to tell your apprentice?"
"Everything that needed to be said was said last night, and everything that needed to be said goodbye was said yesterday. Waking him up now would only add to the emotions, so there's no need for that."
Besides, it's not like I'm not coming back.
I might come back soon, and it would be so awkward to make it seem like we're facing a life-or-death situation.
Let's go, we should get going.
Gu Qianbei laughed heartily, the sorrow of parting long gone.
As long as he opens another Thousand Sorrows Shop in the Song Dynasty, he can come back at any time, so it's really not a big deal for him.
Before leaving, Gu Qianbei and Cheng Lingsu went to the Guo residence and found Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
"Master Guo, Chief Huang, I need to leave Xiangyang for a while. I'll be leaving Guo'er in your care."
"Don't worry, Young Master Gu, I have already treated Guo'er as my own son, and I will definitely take good care of him."
Guo Jing said sincerely, while also feeling grateful to Gu Qianbei.
He knew that Gu Qianbei was giving him a chance to make up for his past guilt towards Yang Kang.
That alone was enough for him to consider Gu Qianbei a friend.
"I have no worries about what Master Guo says."
Gu Qianbei said with a smile, then looked at Huang Rong.
Huang Rong immediately understood Gu Qianbei's meaning and smiled, "Young Master Gu can also trust me."
"That's good."
Gu Qianbei nodded in satisfaction, thus eliminating all potential dangers.
As for Guo Fu's willful personality, Gu Qianbei wasn't worried about anything.
Yang Guo was never one to suffer a loss, and now that he has lost his inferiority complex, he is even less likely to be manipulated by Guo Fu.
It's already good enough that Yang Guo doesn't bully Guo Fu.
Moreover, without Da Wu and Xiao Wu, those two sycophants, causing trouble around Guo Fu, there shouldn't be any problems in their relationship.
After arranging everything for Yang Guo, Gu Qianbei and Cheng Lingsu officially set off.
