Chapter 0008: Gu Xuanzhen
In three days, it will be the anniversary, marking my eleventh year in this world! I have finally begun to grasp the power to change my destiny! I am stepping onto the path of strength that I have longed for!" Gu Shaoshang laughed heartily, overwhelmed with indescribable joy and excitement
Behind the knight was a convoy of dozens of people, with six "dragon horses" slowly pulling three carriages.
The young master is not harmful, yet the firewood weighing several hundred pounds is as tall as he is, appearing from a distance as if a pile of firewood is walking
Gu Shao Shang casually took off his clothes, standing in the snow under the biting cold wind. It was clear to see that his skin had become delicate and smooth, and his slightly dark complexion had turned fair.
Those four wearing red phosphorus armor are all experts! They feel so powerful
Grandfather! Is this the place where you lived when you were young? A pair of delicate hands, as white as jade, clasped the old man's arm
Without a special constitution, reaching the realm of destiny is the limit! One cannot become a strong individual
Gu took the secret manual in hand and carefully explained it to the two, laughing and teasing. Gu Shaoze listened anxiously, while Gu Shaoshang also stepped forward to listen attentively.
The skin is as tough as a drum! Although Gu Shaoshang had anticipated this early on, he was still filled with an inexplicable surprise at this moment! The first stage of foundation building, consolidating strength! In martial arts, the emphasis is on training the entire body to be firm and robust, with quick reflexes, gathering all strength into a single point. However, there is nothing supernatural about it. The realm of the second stage, "skin as tough as a drum," is on an entirely different level compared to the shock brought to Gu Shaoshang by the sight of a snake shedding its skin!
"Hehe, Grandpa, this is the feeling of homesickness as we near home," the young girl Gu Lianxing said with a giggle
He is a good child! The old man nodded, and with his keen eyesight, he could naturally tell that this young man had already broken through the second level. However, to the old man, the mere second level of foundation establishment was nothing to mention! The old man had seen too many talented youths, and Gu Shaoshan was naturally not remarkable.
He touched his bald head and laughed heartily, "You little brats, do you understand how formidable it is now? When I got this secret manual back in the day, I was disheartened at first glance! Damn it, it was too difficult! Later, I presented the manual to Lord Chen Heihu, and if it weren't for his guidance, I wouldn't have been able to master it either"
Sixteen hours later in the world of the mirror
Hello
The carriage came to a stop, and the elderly man helped the exquisitely beautiful girl, resembling a princess, down from the carriage. Two rows of lanterns hung high on the wooden gate, and in front of the gate, Gu Yu and others, who had received the news and were waiting in advance, felt anxious and apprehensive.
Gu Shaoshang opened his eyes, and his cousin was still carefully studying the secret manual. He sighed inwardly, "Sixteen hours, internal energy deviated seventeen times! Qi and blood backflow into the stomach thirty-six times! If this were reality, the grass would have already grown on the grave!"
Haha
Gu Shaoze put down the secret manual and said, "This secret technique is truly too difficult!"
Gu Shao, with a shoulder injury, strode through the door carrying hundreds of pounds of firewood
Is this the legendary dragon horse? Truly formidable
The young girl draped in a snow-white fox fur coat, clad in a silver-white cotton garment, and wearing a pair of silver-white boots. Her jet-black hair is styled in a princess bun, adorned with a hairpin featuring a pearl flower, from which tassels dangle, swaying gently as she speaks. Her face is fair and clean, with delicate and soft skin. Her long, elegantly arched eyebrows resemble a painting, and her eyes sparkle like stars. Beneath her small nose lies a petite mouth, with thin lips that curve slightly upward, tilting her head in an indescribably playful and charming manner.

The old man looked affectionately at the young girl, his long, fair hand gently stroking her head. "Lingxing, when I was young, I lost both my parents. It was thanks to the elders in the village that I was raised. Now, it has been over thirty years since I left the village, and I wonder if the elders from back then are still alive."
Just like a princess! The clothes are really beautiful
"Are you... Uncle Zhen?" Gu Yu exclaimed with great joy, taking a few steps forward and kneeling on the ground. "Gu Yu has met Uncle Zhen!"
Gu Shao's expression was one of pain, his entire body visibly turning a deep shade of red! It contracted! It rebounded! His whole body split open with cracks like a snake shedding its skin! His face cracked like a dried-up riverbank, an indescribably eerie and terrifying sight!
Gu Yu lowered his head, looking at his feet, "Returning to the noble one, Gu Xuanwu is indeed my father! My father is in good health"
This young girl is quite beautiful
Tsk tsk! Ten fine steeds! Truly wealthy!
"Grandfather, look at him!" The young girl let out a silvery laugh, tugging at the old man's sleeve. "So small, yet carrying so much firewood! Truly impressive!" The old man turned his head to take a glance.
"I wonder where this esteemed guest has come from, and what brings them to my Gu family village?" As the elder dismounted from the carriage, Gu Yu stepped forward a few paces and respectfully spoke.
This is Gu Jiu's child, who at just ten years old has already achieved a remarkable level of skill! Every morning, he goes to the mountains to chop firewood and exchanges it with the villagers for some meat and wild goods.
Mr. Gu, we have arrived
The entire village, young and old, gathered curiously around the convoy, and some daring children even attempted to provoke the "dragon horse," only to be frightened into a tumble by a loud snort from the creature.
Ah!
In the land of Dayan, the common people do not worship deities or Buddhas, but only honor their ancestors. The annual sacrifice, known as the Year Sacrifice, is the most significant festival in this world, held once a year. In previous years, during this time, the members of the Gu family from Gujia Village who were away from home would often return to participate in the Year Sacrifice.
My overall strength has greatly increased! Although I have not tested it, I feel it exceeds one thousand pounds! Moreover, my skin is tightly wrapped, and the cold wind cannot take away the heat from my body!
"Why is it so lively? Everyone in the village has come out?" Gu Shao was surprised and saddened. "Make way! Everyone, make way!"
"Whose child are you? Is Gu Xuanwu still alive?" the old man asked.
Gu Shao felt a pang of sadness in his heart, yet he continued to walk towards his own courtyard. Among the crowd, his expression remained unchanged, as if he were traversing a desolate wilderness, calm and composed.
The old man appeared calm, casting a glance at the young man, his eyes shimmering with golden light, momentarily perceiving every detail of Gu Shaoshang's entire being.
The elder helped Gu Yu up and said, "Come, take me to see your father."
"Are you Xiao Yu? Don't you recognize Uncle Zheng?" the old man laughed heartily, as if the gloomy mood that had lingered for many days had suddenly brightened.
... ...
Gu Shaoshang, carrying firewood and walking among the crowd, also saw a group of elderly people in the crowd
For the next three consecutive days, I will explain one time period to two people each day. The two individuals are making rapid progress. On the first day, Gu Shaoshang had already grasped the basics! However, given such a terrifying pace, Gu Shaoshang naturally dared not reveal it, and on the surface, he still appeared to be slightly slower than his cousin Gu Shaoze.
However! I have finally made my entry! Gu Shao is both heartbroken and delighted! As long as I practice this technique "Yuan Mang Tun Xing Lu" once in the real world, I will be able to master it!
Do not move recklessly! It is said that the dragon horse can carry ten thousand pounds, and with a single hoof, it can crush tigers and leopards
The old man was rendered speechless, and then shook his head with a wry smile, "Gu Xuanzheng, oh Gu Xuanzheng, you are indeed still just a mortal, your state of mind is not yet perfected"
As Gu Shaoshang struggled, the old skin fell away, revealing the delicate and fair skin beneath! The slightly dark skin became finely textured and flushed, resembling that of a baby
Gu Shao let out a grunt of pain, but instead of being startled, he felt a sense of joy! He could only feel his entire skin burning hot, still tightly contracting! He couldn't help but make a sound.
Gu Shaoshan finished wiping his body with snow and put on his clothes
More than thirty years have passed! On the carriage, an old man gazed out at Gu Family Village and let out a faint sigh. The old man wore a tall hat and a gray long robe. His once jet-black hair was now streaked with silver, yet his face remained smooth like that of a baby, with a long beard hanging down to his chest
In the distance, a convoy was slowly approaching Gujiazhuang along the main road. At the front were four burly middle-aged knights clad in red scaled armor, each carrying a long sword, riding on two "Jiao horses" that stood eight feet tall and weighed over one thousand five hundred pounds. The Jiao horse, as legend has it, is a noble steed that is a hybrid of a flood dragon and a horse, said to be able to travel five thousand miles in a day. Each horse requires ten pounds of high-quality feed made from a mixture of chicken eggs and soybeans at every meal, truly a noble among horses! Ordinary families cannot even afford to buy one, let alone raise one!
While several people were conversing, a group entered through the main gate
What a beautiful young girl
Gu Shaoshang slowly withdrew his fists, his body enveloped in a mist of sweat, resembling a steamer
The main gate of Gujiazhuang has already been adorned with large red lanterns
The grandfather and grandson were conversing when the convoy was already approaching Gujia Village
Silly boy
