Chapter 669 The Power Department

The arrows shot at close range were faster, carrying the power of piercing gold and cracking stones, and shot towards Lina's chest.

"Ding!"

Lina flicked the arrow with her fingers, flicking the arrow away lightly.

She turned her head to look at the naive little apprentice, as well as Xu Qi'an and Mu Nanzhi, her face flustered with embarrassment, and she raised her eyebrows and said angrily:

"Look for a fight!"

The explosive power of the slender legs was astonishing, and the young man who was shooting the arrow was kicked away with a roundabout kick. .

Before the other square-faced man pulled out the bone knife, she twisted her waist and swung her arms, swept her right arm in a half circle, and slapped the square-faced man twice on the spot with a "slap", and fell to the ground with stars in her eyes Sorry.

The two young men from the Force Gu Department were beaten, but they were completely unharmed, and quickly stood up. The young man who was shooting the arrow stared at Lina suspiciously:

"It's really Lina, how did you become as white as the girls from the Central Plains?"

As soon as they fight, the same race can immediately detect it.

The swiftness of the kick, the sharpness of the slap, that's right.

The square-faced man added:

"And fat."

The climate in southern Xinjiang is hot and the ultraviolet rays are strong. The aborigines living here have dark skin, and most of the women's skin is wheat-colored.

But Lina has been raised in Xu's mansion for more than half a year, avoiding the ravages of ultraviolet rays, and stealing aunt's Zhuyan Dan, her skin is fair and delicate, which is completely different from the two young Gu people.

"Can't you recognize my face?" Lina pinched her waist.

"Maybe it's Yi Rong!"

The archery man gave a nod, and then gave two triumphant "humphs":

"I was testing your level just now. The real Lina will definitely be able to catch my arrow."

Lina choked for a moment, but she was speechless, she turned her head and said to Xu Qi'an and the others:

"It's okay, it's okay, the people of my force Gu tribe have always been cautious and smart, they just tested me."

No, people from the Central Plains can call out their names? Besides, if it's really disguised, who would disguise a person from southern Xinjiang into a fair and beautiful appearance? Isn't this a blatant ostentation? Xu Qi'an is full of flaws in his heart.

Xu Lingyin let out an "Ah~" forcefully, her face full of fear:

"Fortunately, master, you are a true Southern Xinjiang native."

The archery young man looked at the girl from the Central Plains with a look of fear and complacency, and said:

"Lina, who are they?"

"She is the apprentice I accepted in the Central Plains. This is my apprentice's brother. When I was in the capital, I was taken care of by them."

Lina introduced Xu Qi'an and Xu Lingyin to the two clansmen, but ignored Mu Nanzhi because she was not familiar with her.

After her introduction, Xu Qi'an also knew the names of the two young Gu people.

The young man who shoots arrows is called Tu Long, with slender arms and well-proportioned muscles, he looks like a natural archer.

A young man with a square face is called Mu Mu, because when he was born with a square face, his parents named him "Mu Mu".

"Apprentice?"

Mu Mu was taken aback: "You are the patriarch's daughter, how can you accept an apprentice privately, and you are still a Central Plains person, and the elders will beat you."

Tu Long frowned, although he didn't agree, it could be seen that he was extremely dissatisfied.

The Gu clan's secret arts are not passed on to outsiders, even among the seven clans, they cherish themselves and have their own opinions.

What's more, accepting a girl from the Central Plains as an apprentice, this is obviously a violation of the clan rules, and it is a big taboo of the Gu clan.

"I'm not afraid of them. The elders are the fourth rank, and I am also the fourth rank. It's not certain who beats who."

Lina snorted coldly: "Which old thing dares to attack, I will kill them all with one punch."

"The patriarch will hit you first!"

The tone of wood is serious.

After a while, the two reacted at the same time, and said in surprise:

"Have you been promoted to the fourth rank?"

Lina didn't have time to be proud, and said loudly:

"The apprentice I accepted is a genius who is unique in a million, a genius that is rare in a thousand years, yes, a genius that has never appeared since the history books."

She tried her best to describe Xu Lingyin with her limited vocabulary.

Mu Mu and Tu Long stopped in their tracks, glanced at the naive little Douding, and asked:

"Genius? How many bowls of rice can you eat in one meal?"

Lina snorted:

"Lingyin can eat ten bowls in one meal, which is not counted as food."

Wood and Earth Dragon looked at each other, slightly moved:

"A rare talent indeed.

"But so what, family rules are family rules, and you are also a genius, but you will be punished if you dare to pass on the secret art of the Gu clan."

Xu Qi'an heard them chirping and talking about the birds in southern Xinjiang, and asked with a frown:

"what are you guys saying?"

Lina exhaled and explained:

"They said that if I privately accept Central Plains people as disciples, I will be severely punished by the elders."

"I've heard that the Gu skills of your Southern Border Gu clan are not passed on to outsiders, but what are the specific rules?"

After Xu Qi'an finished speaking, she looked at her, waiting for an explanation.

"The specific rules?" Lina recalled the family rules, half talking and half reciting:

"Those who passed on Gu art to slaves without permission will receive 36,000 lashes. Well, different tribes have different numbers of lashes, and our force Gu department has the most.

"Passing Gu skills to other peoples without permission, especially people from the Central Plains, is a death penalty! The master must die, and so will the apprentice."

Xu Qi'an looked at her silently:

"Why didn't you declare in advance when you received the ringtone as an apprentice?

"Since you know the rules of your clan, why did you bring Lingyin to Southern Border?"

If Lina dares to say "forget", then Xu Qi'an swears to beat her shit out.

Unexpectedly, Lina plausibly said:

"In ancient times, the power of the Gu God radiated beyond the abyss. Our ancestors worked hard to find out the secret method of using the power of the Gu God, and since then there have been seven Gu tribes.

"Secret techniques are the foundation of our Gu clan's existence."

The power of Gu God radiates from the abyss, turning the surrounding creatures into "Gu". In theory, anyone can use this power, as long as they learn the corresponding secret method.

Therefore, the Gu clan is very fond of secret arts, and private transmission is a capital offense.

No wonder the ancestors of the Chai family were stuck at the level of Iron Corpse. It seems that the follow-up secret technique was not learned. Xu Qi'an said angrily: "Don't you remember this clearly, but you are doing human affairs?"

Lina didn't panic at all, and continued:

"Natal Gu matures in nine stages, and each stage corresponds to a grade.

"Whenever the natal Gu wants to be promoted to the next stage, it needs to be supplemented with the secret method of the family and the power of the Gu God to develop the natal Gu to the extreme.

"Only the secret method, without the power of Gu God, even if you forcefully advance, your foundation will be unstable, and your combat power is far inferior to that of other masters of the same level. That's why I brought Lingyin to Southern Border."

Mu Nanzhi interrupted: "Bring her here to eat the whip?"

A euphemism for death.

Lina was a little unhappy, "Oh, listen to me, you are not familiar with everyone, why interrupt me."

After saying a word to Mu Nanzhi, she continued:

"Of course it is a capital offense to pass on the secret technique privately, but as long as Lingyin gets the approval of the elders and father and becomes my real apprentice, then it will be fine.

"The masters of our Gu tribe often go out to find geniuses, and then bring them back to the tribe to undergo tests. If they pass the test, they will be recognized."

Xu Qi'an immediately understood Lina's plan, she wanted to bring Lingyin back to the clan to accept the test, so that she could completely become a member of the Power Gu clan, so that there would be no worries about subsequent promotions.

"But what?" Lina changed the subject and said:

"The Gu tribe has no precedent for accepting people from the Central Plains as disciples, and there are quite a few war slaves. But I think this is no problem, because Lingyin is a genius that has not been recorded in history books. Dad and the elders will definitely make an exception. "

Why am I so unbelievable? It sounds unreliable. Xu Qi'an heard Mu Nanzhi sneer and asked:

"You Gu clan have history books?"

"No." Lina replied.

"." Xu Qi said reassuringly, I want to beat her shit out.

Led by Mu Mu and Tu Long, two young men from the Ligu tribe, they climbed up a high slope and arrived at Mount Bo, where the Ligu tribe lived for generations.

Standing on a high slope, Mount Bo looks like a majestic city wall, stretching for hundreds of miles, blocking the entire north.

Clouds and mists are looming in the mountains, exuding a wild and primitive atmosphere.

At the foot of the mountain is a vast plain, densely covered with rivers, and the fields are planned into small squares. Different crops have different colors, and various colors are pieced together into magnificent oil paintings.

Between the fields and plains, figures as small as ants are busy, either casting nets to catch fish, or plowing the fields.

Thatched huts and yellow mud huts are dotted sporadically among the mountains and fields, forming complexes of large or small buildings.

The scenery is beautiful, like a huge village that has nothing to do with the world.

The square-faced wood "coughed" and said:

"We'll just send it here, and we have to go back to patrol."

He spoke in a crappy Central Plains mandarin.

Xu Qi'an had heard early on that merchants in the south often traded with people from southern Xinjiang, trading in contraband such as porcelain, tea, silk and satin, salt and iron.

It seems to be true, if the Gu clan has nothing to do with the world, how can the people here speak the official dialect of the Central Plains?

The bowed earth dragon looked at Lina, and made a suggestion earnestly:

"Bask in the sun more after you go home. Your skin is so white and thin. It's so ugly. Otherwise, no one will marry you."

After speaking, he glanced at Mu Nanzhi.

Look at what I do. The corner of Wang Hao's mouth twitched, feeling that she was connoted.

Although her appearance became ordinary, her skin remained delicate and smooth.

Saying goodbye to the earth dragon and wood, the three of them, a fox and a child descended the ramp and entered the plain.

Lina cheerfully greeted the Ligu people along the way:

"Aunt Ah Sang, I'm back."

"Lina? How did you become an ugly girl for nothing!"

"Uncle Heiba, I'm back."

"Lina is back? Is this the slave you snatched back from the Central Plains?"

"No, it's my friend."

"Silkworm, I'm back."

"It's Lina? Lina is back. Granny's eyesight is bad. Come closer. Let me tell you, at the beginning of the year, Granny wanted to ask the patriarch to propose marriage. My grandson hasn't married a wife yet. You two will grow up together." Forget it, grandma thinks you are not suitable."

Xu Qi'an silently observed the clansmen of the Ligu tribe, some of them wore common clothes, some wore clothes made of animal skins, they were taller and stronger than the Central Plains people, they plowed the fields without livestock, but with manpower.

They can drag hundreds of catties of fishing goods by themselves, and they can carry a small boat back and forth by themselves.

"There seem to be few people."

After Xu Qi'an observed it, he gave an evaluation.

"Everyone went hunting." Lina said sadly:

"Our southern border is barren. It is not as good as your Central Plains. There is so much food. The tribesmen of our Ligu tribe are busy from morning to night for one bite of food every day, and they often don't have enough to eat."

Isn't it because you guys can eat too much? Xu Qi'an didn't try to argue, as she crossed the plain, there were more and more houses, and the roads became wider and flatter.

They came to the largest building complex in Mount Bo, where the upper echelons of the Li Gu Department lived.

Lina's house is at the highest point of the building complex, which is a compound with two entrances.

On the edge of this large courtyard, there are many huts and loess houses attached to it. According to Lina, the slaves of her family lived in them.

"Daddy, I'm back"

Lina yelled loudly and was a total wild girl.

A few seconds later, the sound of heavy footsteps came, and the ground shook accordingly. A nine-foot-tall giant walked out from the inner courtyard.

This person was wearing clothes and robes made of animal skins, and linen trousers. He was barefoot and had a slightly square face. His rough facial features could not be compared to exquisite.

The eyes are blue, and the hair is not naturally curly, because there is only a shallow layer covering the scalp, just like a monk who has just started to grow his hair after returning to vulgarity.

His burly body is more than that of the Buddhist Vajra, if not less.

Every time he took a step, the ground would vibrate slightly, as if it couldn't bear his weight.

Seeing his daughter reunited after a long absence, Long Tu froze for a moment, then nodded his head, his voice low and pleased:

"It seems that you have experienced a lot of things in the Central Plains, so there will be such earth-shaking changes."

After finishing speaking, he glanced over Xu Qi'an and the others, paused on Xu Lingyin, and asked:

"Are these slaves you captured?

"Why don't you bring the little boy, you can't do the work, and it's not right to kill him."

"They are not slaves, but friends I met in the Central Plains." Lina pressed Xiaodouding's head with one hand:

"This is my apprentice."

Disciple Longtu's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the aura of a prehistoric beast enveloped the courtyard.
