Gu Liubai squatted on the ground and tapped the snow with his fingers. The snow made a sound like Bangbang, as if saying great to him.
So Gu Liubai seemed very satisfied.
"It's frozen and it won't hurt the horse's bones any more."
When he got up and talked, Chen Tu found that he had changed into a pair of cowhide boots.
These boots look older and greasier than the ones he wore before.
"Can't you be more damn clean?" Chen Tu couldn't help but frown.
Compared to Gu Liubai's dirty body, he was as clean as if he was about to enter the bridal chamber.
Gu Liubai explained patiently: "If you make it too clean here, you will easily get sick."
Chen Tu immediately thought of the black eye disease, and his face suddenly turned dark.
He felt that Gu Liubai was connoting himself.
Gu Liubai looked around and was about to set off, but he still didn't see Xu Qi.
"Don't worry about him. Sometimes he is around, sometimes he is not there, but he will always follow him." Yin Shiniang saw Gu Liubai's meaning and said simply: "We can't see him many times a year."
"Is it available once a month?"
"almost."
"Xu Qi doesn't use a horse?"
"He doesn't need it. Luang Po and I don't want horses either. As for Lan Yufeng, she can keep up without a horse, but there is no need."
When saying this, Yin Shiniang kept paying attention to Gu Liubai's reaction, but Gu Liubai seemed to have no reaction when she and Luang Po didn't want a horse. However, when he heard that Lan Yufeng could not use a horse, he was a little surprised.
But Gu Liubai didn't ask anything, just nodded and said, "My boots are easy to walk on, so I don't want to ride a horse."
Chen Tu felt uncomfortable when he looked at his boots. He was too lazy to expose Gu Liubai, but he just asked casually: "Where are your two brothers? Didn't you mean to take them with you?"
"Zhou Lu'er set out yesterday, and He Huoluo will pick you up halfway." Gu Liubai answered while starting to check his horse and luggage.
These horses were prepared by He Huoluo, with a total of fifteen horses, all of which were Dayuan horses. Although their speed was not as fast as that of the Turkic Black Cavalry's Fire Dragon, their weight-bearing ability and endurance were not bad at all.
“Come to us?”
"Yes, there may be another snow in two days, and it is easy to get lost."
"You know that there will be a snowfall in two days?" Chen Tu felt that this was a bit irritating.
"This is not what I said, it was the star-gazing master in the Taishi Bureau." Gu Liubai explained: "After Uncle Gui reminded me, I asked someone to inquire again. This time the emperor seemed to attach great importance to the delivery of war horses. It was not a day to choose casually. People from the Taishi Bureau came early. I guess there would be some noble people in Chang'an City, so I have to ask Qiao Huangyun to help us change our faces in advance, otherwise people would not recognize us in Chang'an."
Chen Tu blinked his eyes twice in a frustration and stopped talking.
He has a little psychological burden.
The disease called black eye disease should not be Gu Liubai’s exaggeration. When he woke up this morning, he felt that his body seemed heavier than usual, and his urine was much yellower than usual.
Gu Liubai had a lot of luggage, and he used three horses to load his luggage.
In addition to the things He Huoluo had planned to give them to the road and tents, these fifteen tall horses looked like a serious caravan.
After this "caravan" left Mingbaipo, Gu Liubai and Yin Shiniang and Long Po walked out of Mingbaipo together.
The snow was frozen very strong, and Gu Liubai's body was not heavy, leaving only a shallow footprint when walking on it.
The strong north wind blew, and the snow foam in the wind carved the snow surface into huge white scales, and these footprints would soon be smoothed.
Yin Shiniang deliberately lag behind Gu Liubai for most of her body.
According to her cognition, there were more than 100 Qi refining methods in the Tang Empire alone. However, no matter whether it was the secret techniques passed down from the pre-Qin Qi refining men, or the methods passed down from the Western Regions or overseas, among which it is truly the best internal method, which can temper the internal organs and make people's spirit and strength far exceed that of ordinary people, there are only more than 30.
Among these more than 30 methods, several methods pay special attention to the unity of body, method and mind. The unique body method and the combination of breathing and breathing methods, the movements of mind and flesh that can not only allow the qi and blood in the body to reach the most subtle points, but also can shake the internal organs, remove diseases, and strengthen some key orifices in the body.
Liang Fengning was the instructor of Shanyin Guard, who was the personal guards around the governor of Youzhou, and the elite among the elites.
The powerful figure in Shanyin Guard practices the Dragon Raising Art.
The Dragon Raising Art does emphasize the unity of body, method and mind, but she can be sure that the body technique of the Dragon Raising Art is called dragon movement. Every step is to stalk with your head raised, your spine shakes, but it also makes your body look light. As you keep moving, the flesh and blood on the entire spine are particularly wriggling, just like every piece of flesh and blood slapping inside, and your breathing is also particularly long. When you reach the depths, the breath emitted from your mouth and nose is like a dragon.
Although she had never seen Liang Fengning, since Liang Fengning was the coach of Shanyin Guard, when a person like him was fighting with people on the battlefield, he would probably be able to blind people's eyes with one breath of arrows more than ten steps away.
Gu Liubai would rather walk without riding a horse, obviously for the sake of practicing, and he is probably at some more important junctures.
But his breathing and breathing were very casual, and he didn't seem to be practicing.
If she hadn't believed that Gu Liubai was in a state of cultivation, and she had a special response between powerful people to this brilliant qi refining method, she would not have felt that mysterious aura.
Gu Liubai felt as if he was very comfortable, even as if the outside world was pushing him away.
The grasshopper tied to the same rope, Yin Shiniang was not as restrained as last time, and asked directly: "What you practiced is not the Dragon Raising Art, nor is it the visualization of Canglang Sword Sect. So what method are you practicing? It was passed on to you by your mother?"
"It's not counting what my mother passed on to me." Gu Liubai answered very simply, "Half is the Dragon Raising Art, and the other half is the Qi-refining method from the Lion Kingdom. The Dragon Raising Art is a method practiced by the palace guards of the previous dynasty. It is more domineering, but after people are young, they often have various problems. My mother felt that the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty gave this method to the Shanyin Guards of Youzhou. Later, she found a way to borrow a method from the Lion Kingdom. What I practiced was the method of combining the two into one."
"borrow?"
"Yes, my mother said she just saw that she would not practice. She would definitely not practice, and she would not practice for the people of the Tang Dynasty. The old monk from the Lion Kingdom was quite easy to talk to, so she agreed. After reading it, my mother sent the scriptures back."
"Is it the Dharma of the Buddha Sect?"
"right."
"Your mother is indeed very powerful." Yin Shiniang thought for a while before she came up with a suitable adjective. She originally wanted to say that your mother was quite cunning, but then she felt that this was not a matter of politeness or impoliteness, but a method that could borrow from a remote Buddhist sect and combine it with the Dragon Raising Art. That was really few people could do it.
Gu Liubai nodded seriously and said, "Guo Beixi was shocked when he saw my practice. He had thought about it on the way he came and was ready to let me practice his Canglang Sword Sect's visualization. He explained that there were two skills on the surface to learn from their strengths and weaknesses, but in fact it was no different from creating a new skill. He told my mother that he didn't think anyone in Chang'an could do this."
Yin Shiniang took a deep breath and said, "How did your mother respond to him?"
Gu Liubai thought of the scene back then and couldn't help laughing, "My mother said that his sword was OK, but his knowledge was a little short."
Yin Shiniang thought for a while and said, "What she means is she thinks there is still someone who can do it in Chang'an?"
"It should be." Gu Liubai nodded and said slowly: "She originally wanted Guo Beixi to read more books. Don't sit there like wooden stakes all day long and look at mountains and rivers all day long. She told me that many things are not isolated, and there is some connection between many methods. However, Guo Beixi's injury has been delayed for too long, and even she cannot cure it, and he has no time to study."
Yin Shiniang did not deliberately fall behind anymore. She walked beside Gu Liubai and said, "What is the injury Guo Beixi suffered? Why did he come here?"
Gu Liubai said, "I don't know much about this. I asked my mother, but my mother just said that he had suffered internal injuries when he left Luoyang. As for the rest, she told me that I would find the answer by myself when I arrived in Chang'an."
Yin Shiniang said, "Who is your mother?"
The emotions in Gu Liubai's eyes became particularly complicated, "My mother is a very strange person. Except for Uncle Gui, no one seems to know when she came here. Even if she gave me the feeling, it seemed to fall from the sky. At first, some people said that she was a singer who escaped from the Tang Dynasty, but I thought it was pure nonsense. She only knows an exorcist dance, and she knows too much, not only medical skills and Buddhist scriptures, but she understands some ancient words here. The weirdest thing I remember is that a witch from a large tribe passed by here, and the witch saw that she actually cut her tongue directly. And the witch's identity on Gu Mo's side was quite a bit."
Yin Shiniang was silent for a moment and said, "To this day, you haven't figured out what her identity is?"
Gu Liubai smiled. His smile seemed a little bleak in the snow and cold world, but it was also full of pride. "No, as I understand more and more, I just felt that she was more and more powerful. In fact, I have never seen anyone better than her here. I think she is the most powerful person in the world she said, and her thinking is close to that of a god. But she never told me her origin, but just told me that if I came to Chang'an, I would slowly know what kind of person she is in the future."
Yin Shiniang said, "So this is the reason why you must go to Chang'an?"
