Chapter 457: Echoes of the Past (Part )"My brother knows a little bit about medicine. Maybe he can cure your little girl." "Since you are all here, you can take Liang Ting away and deal with him as you wish. If you have time, bring the little girl here and let my brother examine her." Gao Mei went on to talk about her own problems, her expression calm. Her thoughts went back to a long time ago, when her memory was reset and she had a happy life. It was not until his later years, as his cultivation and strength continued to soar by leaps and bounds, that the fragments of memory in his mind gradually revived and were gradually restored. He then asked his disciples and learned everything that had happened that year. "Brother Xu, you also know medical skills? That's great!" When Gao Yingcai heard the news, it was like grabbing a life-saving straw. With mist in his eyes, he spoke in a soft and sorrowful tone: "Alas, Mei'er has been hurt physically and mentally since she was harmed by that beast. She has never recovered and has become like this." "Over the years, I have taken her to see many famous doctors, but to no avail. They said her soul is damaged and she will become more and more stupid. I am afraid she will be confused for the rest of her life." When he mentioned the sad things, tears almost fell from his eyes. He looked at Lu Ci at the opposite table and pleaded:
"Brother Xu, would you like to go home with us? Regardless of whether you can cure Mei'er or not, I will be grateful to you and your sister." "Okay, then I'll go to your Tang Sect as a guest." Lu Ci agreed without even thinking about it. He asked Tang Bing jokingly: "Master Tang, you don't mind, right?" Tang Bingwen smiled quietly, tapped the table several times, then stood up and said in a clear and powerful voice: "You two, please——" "Okay, let's not delay any further." Lu Ci narrowed his eyes, drank the wine in the glass, and stood up together. Soon, Liang Ting was taken away by the Tang Sect disciples who came into the store. Fearing that he would be able to resist again, they fed him a large amount of anesthetic powder, causing him to become limp as mud and fall into a coma. Before the Tang Clan came, they hired several rickshaws to wait nearby. Lu Ci, Gao Mei, and Gao Yingcai took one rickshaw and returned to Sichuan. In the black rickshaw that was following the last in the procession, Tang Bingwen and Tang Jiaren sat in the back seat, the driver was Tang Wei, and the passenger was Du Fuchong. With the roar of the engine and the bumpy sound of the road, Du Fuchong, who had been lying in ambush outside the inn, asked in confusion: "I didn't expect it to be so smooth this time. Headmaster, you have come into contact with those two people. What do you think?" "Hiding Qi is just like hiding Qi, he is an incredible master." Tang Bingwen murmured in a low voice. As an assassin, even after knowing the origins of the two men, he had not let down his guard. He stared through the front window at the rickshaw at the front of the team, as if he was on guard. This was a professional instinct engraved in his muscle memory. "There is no difference in hiding Qi?!" Hearing this, the two people in the front row of the car were shocked. In the circle of extraordinary people, it is very difficult for any extraordinary person with a little bit of cultivation to hide his or her shortcomings. Even if they can greatly restrain the true Qi in their bodies, a small part of it will still leak out, which can be easily discovered. As one's cultivation level increases, one's skill in storing Qi will also improve. The so-called concealing Qi is the highest realm. It is to hide all one's cultivation and transform oneself into an ordinary person. It is impossible to be seen until the moment of action. In line with the storage of Qi, there is another iconic feature, namely the introverted and bright pupils. This can usually only be cultivated by those who have been in the realm of Grandmaster for a long time or have a pure mind. "If I hadn't been in this business for most of my life, I wouldn't have realized what they were capable of."
At this time, the silent Tang Jiaren also expressed his opinion. Like Tang Bingwen, he discovered the abnormality of the two with the assassin's intuition. "Master, how strong do you think they are?" "It would be dangerous to bring them back like this. If anything happens, we won't be able to stop it in time." Tang Ju suggested that the two be arranged to live in nearby streets in the town. "There's no way to measure how powerful they are. I've met many people in my life, including the old Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain and the left chief of Sanyi Sect, but none of them gave me the same thrill they gave me." Tang Bingwen carefully recalled the process of the meeting and analyzed: "The trick we used couldn't be hidden from them. We were discovered the moment we entered. However, we didn't reveal any flaws. Just because of this, their reaction was better than ours." "As for malicious intent? Probably not. With their methods, we may not be able to stop them from doing anything they want to do." "Relax, you'll know tomorrow." Tang Jiaren smiled calmly. It was true that he was afraid of those two people, but he also trusted his instincts and did not sense any hostility. "Ah." Tang Bingwen responded, and then he sat quietly in the middle parking space, staring at the rickshaw in front of him without moving his eyes. The next day, around noon. The group returned to the town where the Tang Clan was located. After a night of repeated consideration, Tang Bingwen decided to let them in. In a moment, a guest room was prepared and Gao Mei, who was seriously ill but still looked young, was brought in. "Squeak-" As Lu Ci closed the door, everyone waited quietly outside. "." During this period, Gao Yingcai was extremely anxious. He turned his head several times to look at the peasant woman beside him, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself. "Ask whatever you want to ask. The sound of your voice won't affect my brother. Whether his soul is damaged or he's hanging on, he can save him." "without" After receiving reassurance, Gao Yingcai's worries were alleviated. He felt relieved in his heart, but he was suddenly speechless and didn't know what to say. "Is it really that mysterious?" Someone inquired curiously, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, saying: "If it is..." Before he could finish his words, the peasant woman, who was sitting on the steps in a very relaxed and casual posture, had prepared an answer for his question. "Same, Dan Shi is no exception." "?!" "?!!" As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people present changed significantly. Could the Dan Devouring Effect be resolved? "I have heard about your Tang Sect's unique skills a long time ago. They are colorless, tasteless, and invisible, but in essence, they are poisons. Whether they are made of medicine or Qi, they can only cause damage to the body and cannot be avoided by treatment."
Gao Mei's opinion made Tang Bingwen, Tang Jiaren, Hong Ye, Du Fochong, Tang Ju and others stunned. Their Dan Shi had never failed throughout the generations. Once they were hit, the person would surely die. At this moment, the guest who arrived said that their Danxi could be cracked. This was such a fantasy, but Tang Bingwen and Tang Jiaren had a bad feeling. Maybe it could really be cracked? The atmosphere was deadlocked. They didn't feel comfortable asking any more questions and just remained silent. After about a quarter of an hour, the door opened with a creaky sound, and Lu Ci walked out, saying casually: "It's cured. I have cleared all the memories of the unfortunate encounters. Just be careful from now on and you'll be fine." "She should wake up in an hour or two. You don't need to feed her medicine anymore. Medicine is poisonous. She is weak. Just adjust her diet and replenish her blood and energy." "Really?" Gao Yingcai was stunned at first. The speed of the treatment was beyond his imagination. He didn't even have time to recover and his brain seemed to be blank. Then he was suddenly overjoyed and quickly clasped his fists and bowed deeply. "Thank you, Brother Xu!" "You are welcome." Lu Ci smiled indifferently. For him, repairing the soul and deleting the memory was a piece of cake. This scene was extremely incredible in the eyes of everyone. They all had their own thoughts. This person's medical skills were so superb that they were more exaggerated than those of many masters of medical schools. If he was not exaggerating, his skills were already unfathomable. The fear in Tang Bingwen's eyes deepened. As the head of the Tang Clan, this was the first time he had such a bad premonition, and he gradually became uneasy. However, the thoughts in his heart are what he thinks in his heart after all. He thanked the disciples on their behalf, bowed and saluted, and invited them at the same time: "Fellow Daoist Xu, thank you for your hard work." "How about we move to the living room and have a chat?" "Well, let's go." Afterwards, everyone split into two groups. Gao Yingcai, Tang Wei and others stayed behind to wait for the woman in the room to wake up. Tang Bingwen, Tang Jiaren, Hong Ye and others invited Lu Ci and Gao Mei to the meeting hall for a talk. The atmosphere in the hall was a bit quiet and deserted, with only five people left. "There is no wine here, so I will serve tea to you two. Don't blame me." Tang Bingwen brought two cups of tea and handed them to Gao Mei and Lu Ci. "Okay, let's taste the craftsmanship of Master Tang, it's pretty good." Lu Ci took the teacup, took a sip, and couldn't help but smile knowingly. "The country is facing a crisis right now. I wonder where you two are going?" Tang Jiaren asked sincerely. "No, we just stop and walk along the way, and go wherever we go." "In that case, why don't you stay with us for a while and kill those Japanese invaders together?" "To be honest, we have received more and more orders recently, and it is inevitable that there will be casualties. I think Fellow Daoist Xu has superb medical skills and a lot of other skills. It would be a great blessing if he could join hands with us to face the national crisis." Tang Jiaren made the invitation and spoke frankly.
"Oh? What about the leader of the Tang clan? Do you think so too?" Lu Ci asked with a smile. "Yes, it is our small temple. I am afraid that you two distinguished guests may dislike it. If you are willing to stay, it will be our honor." "it is good." Lu Ci agreed without even thinking about it. The two sides chatted until the evening. When it was almost time for dinner, Tang Jiaren simply opened up and said: "Friend Xu, I'm sorry to bother you, but I wonder if your medical skills can really solve the unique skills of my Tang Sect?" "Have one." Lu Ci stretched out his hand in front of him, signaling him to plant the Dan Shi. "This is not good." Tang Jiaren looked embarrassed. If this killing skill took the opponent's life, the Tang Clan would lose a precious ally. "No need for that. I'll order someone to go to the prison and bring the second devil here." Mr. Hong stood up and hurried to make arrangements. Soon, a second devil with ragged clothes and bruises all over his body was brought into the hall. "Do it." "call out--!" Tang Jiaren snapped his fingers and a pill shot out and entered the prisoner's forehead. After just a few seconds, the poison began to take effect. He let out a shrill wail, his face was hideous and distorted, and his veins were exposed. "Wow!" A mysterious red light emanated from Lu Ci's left hand. He grasped the prisoner's throat and began to repair his broken body. Until the effect of Dan Shi's medicine was exhausted, it repaired the broken body more than ten times, and thus smoothly resolved Dan Shi's fatal blow. "." The pupils of several elderly people who witnessed this scene trembled violently. With their rich experience, it was not difficult to see that the elixir was effective but could not kill people. It was Xu Wubo's medical skills that saved the person. This indirectly breaks the Dan Shi. The three of them could not suppress the panic in their hearts and were confused for a moment. This result was too cruel. The deadly skills that had been passed down for thousands of years became ineffective one day. They felt a sense of distress and loss in their chests. “The world is so big that nothing is strange.” "Fellow Daoist Xu, this is amazing, amazing." Tang Bingwen was in a low mood, but he couldn't help but admire it. At the same time, he saw an unprecedented opportunity. If the person in front of him was willing to stay for a long time, why would the Tang Sect not be able to prosper? It is true that Dan Shi has been broken, but that does not prevent it from still being a unique skill for assassination. I am afraid that there will never be another person in the world who has such medical skills. The Tang Sect had the opportunity to learn Dan Shi, but was unable to make the leap, and countless disciples failed along the way. Once assisted by this medical skill, the proportion of disciples inheriting Dan Shi will be greatly increased. It will not be like before, where failure means death.
What's more, in today's turbulent times, the more disciples who learn Dan Shi, the more Japanese devils they can assassinate. Compared with the survival of the country, the limitations of the sect's unique skills are not worth over-emphasizing. "Friend Xu, I have an unwelcome request." "I know what Sect Leader Tang wants to say. I can help you, but I may not stay here for long. I have some personal matters to attend to and need to return to the north." Lu Ci was also thinking about things at home, but he knew that it would take nearly half a year before Bihe Ren attacked, so he was willing to accompany Gao Mei to deal with trivial matters these days, and then come to Tangmen to see the elder he admired in the past. He planned to go back home after finishing his work here. "Is that so?" Tang Bingwen smiled slightly, stood up and was about to bow: "Okay, on behalf of the Tang Sect, I would like to thank you." "No, you are older than me." Lu Ci hurriedly supported the old man. In this way, Lu Ci and Gao Mei stayed in Tangmen temporarily. A week later, Liang Ting was executed by Gao Yingcai. During the time that Lu Ci stayed there, he cured many injured members of the Tang Sect and helped several people break through. After a month, they all succeeded. While Gao Mei stayed in Tang Clan, she smiled more and more often, and she even taught Fenghou Qimen to her father and master. When they heard about the miraculous uses of this strange skill, they were amazed and could not calm down the shock in their hearts for a long time. Especially Tang Bingwen, he saw the future of Tang Sect with unlimited potential. Although the power of Dan Shi, which was assisted by Feng Hou, was not improved, its almost certain hit and undetectable concealment reduced its past shortcomings a lot again. With Gao Mei's meticulous guidance, coupled with their determination and endurance, they quickly got started and achieved some success. Another month passed, and Lu Ci said goodbye to Gao Mei and the people from the Tang family, and headed north alone, returning to the county town where the Lu family used to live. He saw his younger, more high-spirited self. I met a brother who is gentle, humble and polite. I also met my father, who was a bit strict, calculating, and the one who led the family forward with heavy burdens in my memory. And one familiar relative after another. Lu Ci, who was hiding in the dark, didn't dare to get close to the reality. He felt even more timid when he was close to home. He just stared from afar, feeling a lot of emotion. Time flies, several months passed, and Lu Ci left quietly. Unlike Gao Mei who could find reasons to stay in the Tang Sect, he could not get over the hurdle in his heart and could not integrate into the Lu family of the old era. He just felt satisfied by observing the movements of his brother and his younger self from time to time. "Bihe Ren" Lu Ci vaguely remembered that his elder brother was hit by some kind of space-changing ability and was directly beheaded by the Japanese demon sword Master Eita. Otherwise, he would not have lost in a head-on confrontation. Many people died in that interception battle. After landing, Bihe Ren, who was protected by the Japanese troops, had hundreds of guns to support him. In this era, it would be difficult for ordinary people to be effective if they rushed over and ambushed with their flesh and blood. But this time, Lu Ci would not allow the same thing to happen again. In late spring of 1941, Lu Ci, who had spent enough time in the north, went to Tang Clan in Shu and was welcomed by everyone. He stayed here for more than a month. On the eve of Bihenin's landing, he asked Gao Mei if she wanted to go with him and received an affirmative answer.
"Let's go and meet him." The peasant woman smiled and said bluntly. On May 5, when Xiaozhan had not yet received the news, late at night, Lu Ci and Gao Mei left a letter and left Tangmen. They flew across the vast land at a speed of low Mach, rushed from the inland to the coast overnight, then walked on the sea, found a deserted island in the sea, and intercepted the nearby routes. On the evening of May 5, a medium-sized ferry, emitting billowing black smoke, slowly passed over the sea level and came into the sight of the two men. On board were more than seventy aliens of Bihe Ren and hundreds of escorting Japanese soldiers. On a deserted island four hundred meters away, in front of the beach, stood two desolate and thin figures. "You come, or should I?" Lu Ci asked in a flat voice. The enemy whom he had wanted to kill all his life was on that ferry. At this moment, he could no longer suppress his murderous intent. "Go ahead." "I won't disturb your interest." "I've taken care of the surrounding sea areas for you. They can't get away." Gao Mei opened a strange magic circle that covered an area of one kilometer. In the distance, there were already sounds of commotion. The ferry was blocked, as if it had hit an invisible wall and could not go any further. All the ninja practitioners entered a state of preparation for battle. "Okay, I'll go." There was a hint of viciousness in Lu Ci's eyes. The next moment, his figure disappeared instantly and the air made a sound like an explosion. A stream of white energy cut through the void, as bright as silver light, suspended in the air, and the distance of hundreds of meters was passed in a flash. Lu Ci leaped up and flew high above the ferry, his expression was cold, his right arm was madly gathering strength, he roared angrily, and the huge and dark Ruyi power kept roaring, like a black hole that swallowed up all light, it was terrifying to the extreme. Everyone on the ferry cried out in panic for help, but there was no time to react. "Boom!!!" As a huge fist mark smashed down, the ferry was broken in half and was instantly torn into countless pieces of powder by the whirlpool-like Qi force. The ninjas on the boat exploded into pools of blood mist and sank to the bottom of the sea. The demon Eita was not spared either. He screamed miserably, and the protective energy in his body shattered at the touch. His body exploded like foam, and even the demon sword was reduced to scrap metal under the raging fist wind. At dusk, blood dyed the sea red, Lu Ci stood on the sea level, the bleak evening wind blew his hair, everything was over. In the era when he came, there was no suspense at all. With just one strike, he destroyed many ninjas of Bihe Ninja with overwhelming force. It was the summer of 1942, and the two-year deadline was approaching. According to the original timeline, Lu Ci and Gao Mei remembered that this node was the time when Jiang Mo ended his travels and returned to Trinity Sect. They went to visit him and met Sect Master Zuo and Mr. Kuang Ya, but were told that the junior brother had not returned. The two thanked him and left. In late autumn, the time spent staying here became less and less, and Gao Mei spent the last warm time in the Tang Sect. He carried out missions with his disciples and predecessors, and assassinated many leaders of the Eastern alien forces rooted in the mainland. Lu Ci chose to return to his family and find his younger self. While he was sleeping, he left a boxing manual and the essentials of practicing Shuangquanshou. He hoped that he would no longer have any regrets in this time and space, but he did not belong here after all, so he had to go back and just treat it as a vacation. Afterwards, Lu Ci went to another room, took a look at his father who was still sleeping, accompanied him silently for a long time, and then turned and went to his brother Lu Ren's bedroom. With his level of cultivation, he could walk around the Lu family mansion at will without being discovered by any guards patrolling at night.
The moonlight was like frost, pouring down from the window onto the ground. Lu Ci stood on the edge of the bed, recalling the good old days of the two brothers, and saying many words in his heart. He hopes that his brother will have a peaceful life, get married soon, and have a big fat baby. If it is a girl, that would be great too. It’s a pity that two years is too short and he can’t wait until that time. Originally, Lu Ci could use the ability of Shuangquan Hand to use his soul to enter Lu Ren's dream and talk to him, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. He was afraid that if he talked for a while longer, he would not be able to help but stay and miss the time. Time passes quietly until dawn is about to rise. Lu Ci's figure dissipated like a breeze, his cold eyes were filled with gentleness and satisfaction, with some faint traces of turbid tears remaining. At the same time, Gao Mei, who was far away in Tang Sect, also silently wiped off the magic lines on her wrist. The scene in front of me blurred in an instant, and my body seemed to be uncontrollably drawn into another dimension. When they opened their eyes again, Lu Ci and Gao Mei returned to the modern timeline. In the dim laboratory, they saw a slender figure sitting cross-legged in front of the window, practicing silently. It was Jiang Mo's Dharma body. "Buzz!" In an instant, without any verbal communication, the Dharmakaya waved his hand, and a deep purple void portal leading to the outside world appeared out of thin air. "Thank you, Master Jiang." The two said in unison, and then bowed. The nearly two-year-long time travel has indeed made them feel much better and made up for their past regrets. They feel like they have been reborn and feel more comfortable than ever before. The Dharmakaya closed his eyes and remained silent, treating them as nothing. "Farewell." The two of them looked respectful and pious, then turned around and disappeared into the void portal. Return to their families and sects and start the unfinished journey in life. (End of this chapter)
