Mortal Bones

At this point, Gu Qingcheng paused for a moment, and then continued in a low voice:

"Although my eldest brother has not comprehended the true meaning of the demon ancestor, by chance, he discovered the secret of the Great Sage Fist and two other fist techniques left out of the Spiritual Bone Monument from the inherited skills."

"And according to his inference, if the two fist techniques can be found, the Great Sage Fist can not only become a fist technique of the fairy level, but it is also very likely to be the key to comprehending the true meaning left by the demon ancestor."

After listening to Gu Qingcheng's story, Xu Taiping was shocked at first, and thought to himself:

"Not only is it possible that the Great Sage Fist was created by the demon ancestor, but it is also very likely that there is a true meaning of the demon ancestor hidden in it?"

But immediately, he frowned again, looked up at Gu Qingcheng with a solemn expression, and said:

"Miss Qingcheng, this is definitely not an ordinary sect secret. You told me this, maybe there is another meaning?"

Gu Qingcheng, whose intention was detected by Xu Taiping, was not at all flustered. Instead, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth and replied frankly: "Master Xiushi, you guessed right. I do want to make a deal with you, Master Xiushi."

"What deal?"

"I can teach you all the Great Saint Fist taught by our sect, so that you can get the complete Great Saint Fist."

"What are the conditions?"

"If you can successfully ascend to the twelfth floor of the Xuanhuang Tower, please teach me the Great Saint Fist you know, so that I can take it back to the sect."

"That's it?"

Xu Taiping was stunned, and then looked at Gu Qingcheng in disbelief.

He thought Gu Qingcheng would put forward such harsh conditions, but he didn't expect that he just wanted him to teach her the Great Saint Fist he knew, and it was on the premise that he had first practiced the complete Great Saint Fist and successfully ascended to the twelfth floor of the Xuanhuang Tower.

To him, this was nothing.

"If I can't reach the twelfth floor of Xuanhuang Tower, won't you get nothing?"

Xu Taiping didn't think this was the real reason why Gu Qingcheng was willing to tell him all this.

"If I say that I did this just to help you reach the twelfth floor of Xuanhuang Tower, do you believe it?"

Gu Qingcheng looked directly at Xu Taiping's gaze without dodging.

"If I say that I did this just to fulfill my eldest brother's last wish before his death, do you believe it?"

In Xu Taiping's surprised eyes, Gu Qingcheng suddenly stopped transmitting the message and added another sentence in a slightly sad tone.

Her eyes, which were originally black and white, began to turn slightly red when she said this.

For some reason, Xu Taiping obviously didn't have Ping'an's telepathic ability, but at this moment he was extremely sure that the woman in front of him didn't lie to him.

But the problem was that what she said still couldn't convince him.

Although the complete Great Saint Fist and the true meaning of the Demon Ancestor's inheritance were very tempting to him, he did not dare to accept it rashly before he thoroughly understood Gu Qingcheng's true intention.

"Bang!——"

Just as Xu Taiping was hesitating, the stone fort suddenly shook violently, as if it had been hit by a heavy object.

Xu Taiping immediately turned his head, used his eyesight, and looked out through the cracks in the stone wall.

Outside, groups of giant rats were constantly ramming the stone fort, trying to knock the wall of the stone fort open.

"Young Master, when will this second wave of hunting end? If these giant rats are allowed to ram, this stone fort will be knocked open sooner or later."

Gongshu Nanxing asked Xu Taiping with some concern at this time.

Xu Taiping did not answer immediately, but looked at Zhang Lao beside him and said:

"Zhang Lao, how much time has passed since the rats appeared until now?"

After hearing this, Zhang Lao immediately took out a lit incense stick from his sleeve, pointed to the burning position of the incense and said:

"More than half an incense stick of time has passed."

Xu Taiping nodded after hearing this, and then looked at Gongshu Nanxing and said:

"As long as we hold on until this incense stick burns out, this second wave of hunting will end, and the rats will automatically retreat."

"For half an incense stick of time, this stone fortress will definitely be able to hold on. At most, Miss Yuzhu will work harder to pass me more true essence, and I can use the power of wood essence to hold on for a while longer."

Gu Qingcheng also spoke at this time.

"In that case, there is nothing to worry about."

Hearing this, Gongshu Nanxing immediately felt relieved.

"Bang!"

At this time, another violent collision sounded, and the stone fortress trembled again.

However, because of Xu Taiping and Gu Qingcheng's assurance, everyone did not panic this time.

"Brother... Brother!"

Just as everyone was quietly waiting for the end of the second wave of hunting, a heart-wrenching cry suddenly came from outside the stone fortress.

Hearing the sound, Xu Taiping, whose true energy and blood had almost recovered, immediately stood up and walked to the wall.

Through the cracks in the stone wall, he looked in the direction of the heart-wrenching cry.

I saw a little girl with pigtails on the back of a giant rat outside the stone fortress, holding the handle of the knife stuck in the back of the giant rat tightly, turning her head and shouting heart-wrenchingly behind her.

Xu Taiping used his eyesight and looked behind the little girl. Soon he found a tall boy hiding on the branch of a big tree, constantly shooting arrows at the giant rat below.

However, as he gradually became exhausted, the speed of pulling the bow slowed down, and more and more giant rats gathered around the big tree.

In a short while, the tree, which was so thick that it took two or three people to hug it, was shaking continuously due to the impact of the giant rat.

The whole tree was about to be broken.

"Brother! Run, run!"

The pigtailed girl shouted again, her voice sounded a little hoarse.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the stone fortress was silent.

"Uncles and uncles inside, can you...can you...save my brother!"

At this time, the pigtailed girl suddenly turned her head and cried to the stone fortress.

Everyone was silent again.

They wanted to save him.

But they couldn't.

While everyone was silent, Gu Qingcheng's eyes fell on Xu Taiping inadvertently, and a look of expectation suddenly appeared in her eyes.

She was not expecting Xu Taiping to save people.

Instead, she was expecting Xu Taiping to make a decision, and wanted to see if the tower spirit of Xuanhuang Tower would respond.

"No, it's not the tower spirit, it's Emperor Xuanhuang."

She corrected it in her heart.
