Wu Zimo continued to swing his sword, each blow sharper and more ferocious than the last.
Duanmu Taichu dodged left and right, but the knife light was like a leech attached to his bones, following him everywhere and making him dizzy.
Soon, he had many wounds on his body, staining his clothes red.
Grass!
This guy is so difficult!
Do I have to use that trick?
Duanmu Taichu gritted his teeth, and after being stabbed in the back, he finally could no longer endure it and decided to use that move.
Duanmu Taichu bit his right thumb, then wiped it between his eyebrows, and a bright red line suddenly appeared between his eyebrows.
He quickly formed seals with his hands and finally shouted loudly.
The natal insect at the back of the neck came out again, then quickly flew around Duanmu Taichu, aimed at Duanmu Taichu's heart, and pierced directly into it like a sharp arrow.
Duanmu Taichu groaned, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Then the incredible happened.
Duanmu Taichu's skin slowly changed from its original color to golden, as if it was covered with a tight coat made of gold.
Duanmu Taichu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and chuckled, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I'm a little unskilled at using it for the first time, but I won't let you down."
"Let me show you the secret of our Gu Dao Masters. We use ourselves as Gu, and we have the Taoist Gu Golden Body."
…………
Let’s go back a week.
Duanmu Taichu came to the deep mountains and old forests alone. After traveling through the dense jungle for a day and a night, Duanmu Taichu finally arrived at his destination, Gelai Village, one of the Miao villages.
This is where the Miao people have lived for generations, and it is also the hometown where Duanmu Taichu left.
"Amon, Adai, I'm back." Duanmu Taichu walked to the entrance of Gelai Village and saw two young men in Miao costumes carrying wood. He shouted with a smile.
Amon and Adai heard someone calling them, turned their heads and saw Duanmu Taichu smiling at them foolishly.
The two men immediately dropped the wood and ran over excitedly.
"Achu, you're back?"
"Achu, where have you been for so long?"
"Achu, do you know that everyone misses you so much? How long will you be back this time?"
"Achu..."
Amon and Adai kept talking, making Duanmu Taichu feel dizzy.
"Okay, okay, let's get together again in the evening. Where's my Ah Po?" Duanmu Taichu asked.
Apo means grandfather in the Miao ethnic group.
"Your Apo should have just finished the sacrifice by now. You should be able to find him by the altar," said Amon.
"Okay, let's talk later!" After saying that, Duanmu Taichu trotted all the way to the altar.
When we arrived, we found that my grandfather had just prayed for a newborn baby in the village.
"Apo, I'm back." Duanmu Taichu shouted while running.
There were many people at the altar, and they were all very happy to see Duanmu Taichu come back. Men, women, young and old all greeted Duanmu Taichu and were very warm.
But Duanmu Taichu's grandfather Duanmu Tongpu snorted coldly and walked away with a dark face.
"Hey hey hey...Apo, please wait for me." Duanmu Taichu hurriedly chased after him.
Back at the Duanmu family's stilt house, Duanmu Taichu quickly took out a pipe and said, "Apo, I bought you a pear wood pipe. It's an antique. It was used by the emperor in the past. Come and try it."
Duanmu Tongpu's mouth twitched.
The pipe used by the emperor?
Do you really think I'm easy to fool?
However, Duanmu Tongpu was really tempted. He had no hobbies in his life and just liked collecting some small gadgets. In addition, he also loved smoking, so he was quite interested in this pipe that was said to have been used by the emperor.
"Give it to me!" Duanmu Tongpu said bluntly.
When Duanmu Taichu saw that his grandfather finally paid attention to him, he was overjoyed and offered the pipe with both hands.
Duanmu Tongpu looked at the pipe and was quite satisfied with its fine workmanship.
"What else?" Duanmu Tongpu stretched out his hand.
"What else?" Duanmu Taichu didn't understand what his grandfather meant.
"How can I smoke if you don't give me tobacco?" Duanmu Tongpu said unhappily.
Duanmu Taichu slapped his forehead when he heard this.
Oops, I forgot to buy tobacco when I bought my pipe.
Seeing Duanmu Taichu's expression, Duanmu Tongpu knew that this unreliable grandson must have forgotten the tobacco leaves.
"You've been out for so long, but you're still like this. You might as well not go out." Duanmu Tongpu snorted again, sat down, picked up his hand-rolled cigarette, lit it, and started smoking.
Duanmu Taichu's parents were attacked and died by a black bear while picking wild vegetables in the mountains, so Duanmu Taichu was raised by his grandfather from childhood to adulthood.
When he was seventeen, Duanmu Taichu was clamoring to go out and explore the world.
Duanmu Tongpu strongly opposed it at that time, but Duanmu Taichu finally ran away, in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep.
Duanmu Tongpu was so angry at that time that when he saw Duanmu Taichu, his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.
"Oh, Apo, I am destined not to be an ordinary person. There is not much I can do if I stay in the village. It is better for me to go out and try my luck." Duanmu Taichu explained with a bitter face.
"Then tell me, what have you accomplished now?" Duanmu Tongpu said angrily.
"I'm very powerful now. The military plans to set up a new department and specially invites me to join. Even the commander of the military district came to invite me personally. And my brother will soon become the commander of this new department. I am the most powerful general under his command." Duanmu Taichu said proudly.
