Chapter 272

A great master is the peak of all martial artists in the world today. As long as people in the Jianghu hear the name of a great master, they will naturally bring a measure of respect.

But now the highly respected great master Fu Cailin was beaten by Gu Qing like a piece of rotten meat and hung in Liaodong City.

The death of this Goguryeo spiritual leader was like breaking the backbone of the Goguryeo people. Goguryeo, which was originally united and wanted to resist the three expeditions of the Sui Dynasty, collapsed directly. Where the Sui army pointed, the Goguryeo army threw away their armor and fled. The speed of the situation's reversal and the complexity of the situation made various intelligence pile up on the desk of the King of Goguryeo.

Thousands of words gathered into one sentence: the general trend is gone!

Goguryeo relied on mountain city protection and fought a defensive war, but in front of Gu Qing, the danger of mountains and rivers was not worth worrying about, and the arrangement of troops was useless. Gu Qing broke the army alone, broke the city alone, led the Sui army to push horizontally all the way, and arrived under the Pyongyang City.

The monster from the Sui Dynasty gathered in Liaodong.

The unspeakable cannibal demon king approached Gaomou.

The cruel and ruthless executioner occupied Anshi City.

Gu Qing entered Wugu City.

Great Sui Grand Tutor Gu approached Pyongyang.

The four Han counties are back!

Two expeditions failed, the Great Sui Dynasty was swaying in the wind and rain, Yang Guang was annoyed by Goguryeo's repeated surrenders. This time, the swords and sabers rushed in, ruthless, killing the already swaying Goguryeo like a ghost realm, and then left generals to re-establish counties, and even more wanted to send troops south to unify it.

The Great Sui Dynasty was originally swaying in the wind and rain, but Yang Guang returned in victory, and there was Gu Qing's record of killing Fu Cailin alone and pushing Goguryeo horizontally. The various heroes who were originally in full swing also hibernated again.

The Great Sui Dynasty had only been established for more than thirty years, but under Yang Guang's operation, it actually showed a trend of revival.

Gu Qing!

This great master who killed Fu Cailin head-on became the key to controlling the world.

Great Sui Dynasty, east of Yangzhou City.

Here was an abandoned manor, the houses were about to collapse, barely able to live in. And inside such houses lived two little rascals who depended on each other for life. These two people usually stole food and stole in Yangzhou City, barely able to survive, but the two had high ambitions, were not willing to be ordinary, called themselves Twin Dragons, and would sooner or later soar to the nine heavens.

"Xiaoling, the situation has changed recently."

Kou Zhong lay on the ground, talking about the recent situation, and said, "I have always wanted to save money, and then take you, brother, to join the righteous army. We two brothers will build merit and establish a career, but recently, these forces have all been silenced. I heard that some righteous armies have dispersed."

Xu Ziling was originally about to fall asleep. After hearing Kou Zhong's words, he looked up and said, "I know. I heard today that it is said the key lies in a person named Gu Qing. It is said that this person blows air into wind, flies sand and raises stones, has the skill to gather soil into mountains and pierce the ground into abysses. Those Jianghu people who hold swords and sabers all call him a great master."

The Sui Dynasty had the heart to promote Gu Qing, and various legendary abilities were placed on Gu Qing. Under the reflection of Gu Qing's battle record, it also made Gu Qing known to everyone in a short time, even Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were still little rascals, had heard Gu Qing's story.

"I heard Gu Qing was conferred as Grand Tutor."

Kou Zhong said with envy, "When Gu Qing returned to the capital, various powerful families were climbing and pulling, fighting to marry their daughters to him... Sigh, if only we could be so majestic someday."

Xu Ziling heard this and couldn't help but smile, saying, "Gu Qing is a person among the gods, how could he be as vulgar as you?"

"Actually, he is quite vulgar."

A voice came from the roof. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling both climbed up hurriedly, walked toward the outside of the room, and looked at the broken roof. A man was actually sitting there. Under the bright moon, his skin seemed to be transparent and reflecting light, holding a book in his hand, flipping through it continuously under the moonlit night.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other. Both of them were flexible, and combined with their struggle in the marketplace, they had never seen such an outstanding person, so they immediately raised their hearts. After thinking, Kou Zhong opened his mouth and said, "You say Gu Qing is vulgar, aren't you afraid that Gu Qing will clean you up?"

"Not afraid."

The person on the roof said leisurely, "Because Gu Qing is worrying, he has no time to pay attention to me."

Gu Qing is worrying?

Xu Ziling asked, "He has already achieved success and fame, has countless gold and silver jewelry, what else is there to worry about?"

"He is worrying about women."

The person on the roof said with a sad voice, "After Gu Qing achieved success and fame, he originally thought he would have countless beautiful wives and concubines, but those people didn't understand Gu Qing at all. They treated Gu Qing as an expert in the world, an outstanding figure, afraid that saying a proposal would offend Gu Qing, so Gu Qing was anxious and couldn't sleep at night."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged glances, and then Xu Ziling opened his mouth and said, "Then why doesn't Gu Qing propose himself?"

With the reputation of the Grand Tutor of the dynasty and the strength of killing Fu Cailin and pushing Goguryeo horizontally, such a person could marry whoever he wanted.

"Why didn't he propose?"

The person on the roof said, "But the girl's father has an opinion."

"Why?"

Kou Zhong asked in confusion.

"That girl's family is relatively complex, her mother died early, her father doesn't return home, and she alone makes a living by performing. When Gu Qing went to her father to propose, he told her father about the proposal, and her father went crazy."

The person on the roof shook his head, very helpless.

"Then this girl is quite pitiful."

Xu Ziling heard about the girl's life experience and also felt her sadness, saying, "I think that the combination of husband and wife, as long as men and women love each other, it's fine. Let this father be crazy if he wants to. Gu Qing should treat the little girl who performs well."

Gu Qing's prominent status must be able to give the little girl who performs happiness.

The person on the roof heard this, straightened up, looked at Xu Ziling, and asked, "Do you really think so?"

Xu Ziling nodded seriously. Although he was young, he was early-witted and already had insights into many things.

"Good good good."

The person on the roof turned over, floated down from the roof, looked at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and said, "You two solved a big problem for me. I am ready to pass on a hand to you two. Do you want to follow and learn?"

Kou and Xu saw this person's body was light, and knew they had come into contact with martial arts. Hearing this, they hurriedly approached and bowed to this person.

"Very good, very good."

This person said, "You two are the first disciple and second disciple I accepted in this world. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."

Kou and Xu bowed again, and only then asked for his name.

This person was about to speak, but suddenly hid inside the room. Kou and Xu heard heavy breathing coming from outside, turned their heads, and saw a person with a red face and an anxious expression, asking, "Is there any stranger here?"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had seen this person and knew this was the number one expert in Yangzhou City, Pushing Hand Shi Long. In the current world, it was chaotic, and many people wanted to hire martial artists for protection. Shi Long's reputation in Yangzhou City was becoming more and more prominent. "Have you seen any!"

The current Shi Long had an anxious expression, completely without the demeanor of an expert, and shouted at Kou and Xu.

Kou Zhong shook his head and said, "There are only me and Xiaoling in this room."

Shi Long still didn't believe it, pushed the door and walked into the room, and in a very short time, looked at everything in the room, only then left with regret. When leaving, he also exhorted Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, "You two, if you encounter a stranger, you must tell me, I will have a great reward."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling nodded and bowed, watching Shi Long leave. Just as they were curious, they saw the person from before walk out of the room and come to Kou and Xu.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were surprised. The room they lived in was empty, and it could be said that the house was empty. Pushing Hand Shi Long was the number one expert in Yangzhou City. Entering the room, he should have caught this person, but they didn't expect that the two came out one after another, and Pushing Hand Shi Long didn't catch Gu Qing.

"Master, was he looking for you?"

Xu Ziling asked.

"That's right."

This person said, "I entered his room, took something away, and now he is anxiously looking for it everywhere."

!

Xu Ziling was speechless. He was a little rascal, eating and drinking, and his hands and feet were not clean, but everything he did was to change his destiny. But Xu Ziling didn't expect that among experts, there was also cheating and kidnapping.

"I am saving him."

This person patted Xu Ziling and said, "It's just that he doesn't understand it."

Shi Long died because of the *Long Life Formula*. Without the *Long Life Formula*, Shi Long could live well.

It was also after Shi Long left that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling bowed again and asked for Gu Qing's identity.

"Gu Qing."

Gu Qing said calmly.

"You are Gu Qing?"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were both shocked. Xu Ziling asked in confusion, "Gu Shi, why don't you stay in the capital and come to Yangzhou?"

"Hehe."

Gu Qing shook his head and said, "Because of a little girl, she looks quite beautiful, but she has no brains. Clearly, it was something that could be done by seduction, but she insisted on going around in circles, so I was too lazy to pay attention to her."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling saw this, didn't dare to ask more, silently calmed their hearts, cultivated the Nine Profound Great Art. After the Nine Profound Great Art was introduced, Gu Qing let the two start to ponder the *Long Life Formula*.

The Huang system martial arts world has always had four strange books, namely *God of War Record*, *Heavenly Demon Strategy*, *Cihang Sword Canon*, and *Long Life Formula*. Among them, *Heavenly Demon Strategy* specifically refers to the *Dao Heart Planting Demon Great Art*. The *Dao Heart Planting Demon Great Art* was created based on the *God of War Record*, and the *Cihang Sword Canon* was created based on the *Dao Heart Planting Demon Great Art*. As for the *Long Life Formula*, this was the martial art brought to the human world by Guang Chengzi after staying in the Jingyan Palace.

The *Long Life Formula* has pictures and oracle bone inscriptions. Generally speaking, it cannot be practiced. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were also lucky to be able to practice one picture each.

Gu Qing quietly watched Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling practice the *Long Life Formula*, reborn, and felt proud in his heart.

This *Long Life Formula* could not be deciphered, and Gu Qing did not forcibly practice it. He first watched the changes of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and according to the two people's Qi operation routes, he pondered again.

To tell the truth, for Gu Qing, it doesn't matter if the *Long Life Formula* can be practiced or not. It doesn't have much influence on Gu Qing. The secret technique Gu Qing took a fancy to in this world is the *Dao Heart Planting Demon Great Art*.

In the *Legend of the Frontier*, Xiang Yutian had already appeared and practiced the *Dao Heart Planting Demon Great Art*. In the *Legend of the Frontier*, it was also hinted that Xiang Yutian would definitely shatter. The *Dao Heart Planting Demon Great Art* secret technique left by Xiang Yutian has annotations on the side of the scroll. As long as you follow the annotations, you can practice the *Dao Heart Planting Demon Great Art*. This is also the route of the new generation Demon Emperor Long Ying decades later.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling silently operated their true Qi, and in an instant, they felt that heaven and earth were much clearer. In terms of martial arts, they directly entered the innate realm, looking at the surroundings lively and active, and truly felt that everything was different.

"Very good!"

Gu Qing pressed on Kou and Xu's shoulders, used the Sucking Power Great Art to absorb part of the true Qi, and let it operate freely.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling felt something was wrong, but after a while, everything was as usual. They didn't care about this pat from Gu Qing. However, after this back and forth, the time for cultivation was long, and the two were hungry, so they begged Gu Qing, asking Gu Qing to take them to eat a good meal.

"Small matter."

Gu Qing agreed frankly, took the two to Yangzhou City, looked at the style in Yangzhou City, and took the two to a restaurant, letting Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling order dishes, letting them celebrate their salted fish turning over.

"Master, I also want to drink some wine."

Kou Zhong leaned to Gu Qing's side and said sneakily.

"If you want to drink, then drink."

Gu Qing waved his hand, letting the restaurant serve wine. After all the good wine and dishes were served, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who had already cultivated the *Long Life Formula* and had keen spiritual perception, suddenly turned their heads and looked at one side of the restaurant, seeing a white-clothed figure sitting there, looking like a man, wearing a bamboo hat.

"Grand Tutor Gu, why have you been hiding from me?"

The white-clothed person's face was separated by a curtain, so it couldn't be seen clearly, but the voice was cold, like a flowing mountain spring, making Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling tremble in their hearts, as if they were in the empty mountain smoke and rain.

"Oh..."

Kou Zhong had a flash of inspiration, pointed at the white-clothed person, and said, "You are the little girl Master said had a bad brain!"

The white-clothed person's delicate body trembled, not knowing why.

Xu Ziling added fuel to the fire on the side, saying, "Master said, clearly it was something that could be done by seduction, but you went around in circles with him every day!"

Xu Ziling also said what he had to say.

The white-clothed person heard Kou and Xu's words, smiled bitterly, suddenly reached out, took off the bamboo hat on her face, revealed the flawless face inside, walked forward generously, sat in front of Gu Qing, frowned, looked extremely aggrieved, and complained, "Gu Shi, is this how you view Feixuan?"

The visitor was Shi Feixuan.

Xu Ziling looked at the girl's beautiful face on the side, his heart trembled inexplicably, and he lowered his head directly. He had never thought that there would be such a flawless woman in the world.

Gu Qing was also seeing Shi Feixuan's face for the first time, examined it carefully, was extremely satisfied, and then shook his head, saying, "I do things by only selecting, not changing, only choosing, not educating. The Great Sui Dynasty compared to Goguryeo, the Great Sui is worth my action, so I took action. Is this reason enough?"

Shi Feixuan heard Gu Qing's words, her eyes seemed extremely happy, but she said, "It's just that this action of Gu Shi directly reversed the overall situation of the world. Now the common people of the world are all in Gu Qing's thoughts."

The current Gu Qing is equivalent to Yuwentuo in *Trace of Heaven*, Yang Lin the King of Relying on Mountains in *Sui and Tang Heroes*, belonging to the pillar of the Sui Dynasty, the sea-supporting pillar. With Gu Qing here, it is very difficult for the Great Sui to perish.
