Chapter 870 Destruction and Then Reconstruction

Northern Qi, in a big mountain behind Luoping County.

After half a month of trekking, Qin Hao and his party finally arrived at the place where Ku He practiced.

Before reaching the top of the mountain, Qin Hao felt that the energy in the air was at least twice as high as other places. Unfortunately, after so long, Qin Hao's meridians still have not recovered. He is now a relatively strong person. of ordinary people.

"Follow me." Haitang Duoduo couldn't understand that Qin Hao still wanted to travel around and glared at him.

Qin Hao was still hanging slowly behind, pretending to appreciate the beautiful scenery in the mountains. In fact, he had memorized the path he took here. Although the possibility of escaping from the Grand Master was close to zero, Qin Hao was still used to taking precautions. What's more, when he passed by Shangjing City, he had already passed on the news when Haitang Duoduo was not paying attention, and maybe there would be a turn for the better soon.

Ku He walked in front of the team and rarely interacted with Haitang Duoduo. He gave Qin Hao the feeling that he was a bit like a Buddhist monk, but Ku He believed in the temple instead of the Buddha.

Finally, Ku He stopped in front of a lake.

Looking around, a clear blue pool turns into a colorful halo under the sunlight. The clear green water reflects the surrounding lush forests and blue sky.

At the end of the pool, nine silver chains poured down from the cliff. They were majestic and roared deafeningly, stirring up water that looked like white snow.

"Let's go." After Haitang Duoduo said this, she directly grabbed Qin Hao's arm, jumped up like a chicken, and dived into the Jiulong Waterfall.

Inevitably, Qin Hao, who had no true energy to protect his body, was turned into a drowned rat by the rushing water of the waterfall, and a smirk flashed in Haitang Duoduo's eyes.

When the tiger fell down and was bullied by the dog, Qin Hao decided that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely let Begonia Duoduo taste the feeling of "getting wet".

"Master, you are back."

As soon as he entered the cave, he heard Lang Tao's rough voice.

But when Lang Tao saw Qin Hao, the joy on his face immediately turned into anger, and he subconsciously reached out to touch the chain ax at his waist.

"Stop, we can't kill him now." Ku He shouted to stop Lang Tao's behavior.

Lang Tao looked at Ku He with total confusion.

Ku He did not explain, but returned to the stone platform to meditate with his eyes closed.

Haitang Duoduo patted Lang Tao on the shoulder and sighed softly: "If Master hadn't stopped me, I would have killed him long ago. It was not your turn to do it."

"Why?"

"He knows some secrets and is useful to Master."

Lang Tao walked up to Qin Hao angrily and said through gritted teeth, "Sooner or later I will kill you."

"Master Ku He, your eldest disciple threatens me, which makes me feel very insecure." Qin Hao turned his head and shouted at Ku He who was meditating.

There were obvious signs of muscle twitching on Ku He's face, and he slowly opened his eyes: "As long as I am here, no one can kill you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Hao leaned into Lang Tao's ear and whispered: "I don't think this day will come."

"You" Lang Tao's lungs were about to burst with anger, and he wished he could chop Qin Hao into pieces with a pair of axes on the spot.

Upon seeing this, Haitang Duoduo quickly pulled Lang Tao away: "Elder brother, don't be fooled by him. His whole body is broken now. If you want to kill him, you can kill him at any time. Don't miss Master's important event."

"The meridians all over the body were cut off? Master took action?" Lang Tao grabbed Qin Hao's wrist. He thought Qin Hao was controlled by the master using some means.

"It's considered a move." Haitang Duoduo told the story of the five people besieging Qin Hao with a complicated expression.

Hearing this, Lang Tao looked at Qin Hao with an unbelievable look. That's all. The Whirlwind Blade Feng Xinglie and the Shadowless Sword Muchen were both ninth-level masters. He was sure to win one on one. He could win, but he would have to pay a price. If it was one-on-one, he would have no choice but to run away.

As for fighting one against five, Lang Tao couldn't even think about it. However, Qin Hao did it. In the end, if the Grand Master hadn't intervened, even Haitang Duoduo would have died on the spot.

"You didn't try your best before!"

Qin Hao said lightly: "It's not necessary, it's not a life-or-death feud."

"Arrogant, it's a pity that you will never have a chance to defeat me again." Lang Tao gritted his teeth.

"So you can't take advantage of others' danger. Otherwise, it would be disgraceful if word spread. It might even become your inner demon."

Haitang Duoduo saw Qin Hao looking like a rogue, so she quickly pulled away from Langtao and persuaded him: "Brother, don't listen to his nonsense."

"No, what he said makes sense. If I kill him now, I won't be able to defeat him with force." Lang Tao stared at Qin Hao and said seriously: "Boy, please recover quickly. I will defeat you in an upright manner!"

Haitang Duoduo slapped her forehead and thought, if he recovers, can you still beat him?

In the next few days, Ku He did not rush to ask Qin Hao how to enter the temple. Ku He also knew that Qin Hao would not tell him this secret easily, but he sent Lang Tao out without knowing where he was going. What did he do? Qin Hao asked Haitang Duoduo in a subtle way. Judging from her expression, she didn't know.

"Hey, what are you waiting for? I can't see you eating. Please help with the dishes."

Haitang Duoduo shouted at Qin Hao angrily.

Qin Hao stretched and sat up from the boulder. The warm winter sun was so comfortable on his body. However, what made Qin Hao depressed was that the injuries to his internal organs had improved after these days of nursing. There were signs of damage, including the severed meridians, which could not be repaired no matter how he used the 'Tian Dao Technique'.

"How did Emperor Qing become a Grandmaster?"

Emperor Qing also encountered the same situation back then, but how he broke through and then established himself to become a Grandmaster, I am afraid only he himself knows.

At the table, Qin Hao was a little absent-minded. When he stretched out his chopsticks, he happened to touch Haitang Duoduo's chopsticks. The latter couldn't help but glared at Qin Hao.

"You did it on purpose, didn't you see my chopsticks here, don't you know to move aside."

Qin Hao subconsciously took back his chopsticks, stood there for a long time, and suddenly said to Haitang Duoduo.

"Say what you just said again."

Haitang Duoduo stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Qin Hao: "Are you stupid because of my scolding?"

"Say what you said again."

"Don't you see the chopsticks here, don't you know to move aside?"

Qin Hao suddenly slapped his thigh, threw down the bowl and chopsticks, and sat cross-legged on the stone next to him again.

Haitang Duoduo was at a loss for what to do with Qin Hao's inexplicable behavior: "Master, is he crazy?"

Ku He did not answer, and his eyes were always on Qin Hao.

Half an hour later, Ku He suddenly widened his eyes, and a look of shock appeared on his face, which was originally as calm as an ancient well.

Haitang Duoduo had just cleaned up the dishes and saw the master's appearance, and subconsciously followed his gaze.

At this moment, Qin Hao, who was bathed in the sun, was slowly making some specific movements, with a painful look on his face. His forehead was already covered with sweat, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was experiencing great pain.

Haitang Duoduo was a little confused. It was just some basic exercises, why did he have such an expression?

"Master, he..."

Before Haitang Duoduo could finish her words, Ku He raised his hand to interrupt: "Shh, if he is distracted, he will explode and die immediately."

"So serious?" Haitang Duoduo was also shocked.

Then he lowered his voice and asked: "Master, what is he doing? Is he possessed?"

Ku He shook his head and sighed: "This kid can be called a genius. His body is broken, but he found another way. He does not store the true qi in the dantian, but directly stores the true qi in the body."

"Store the true qi directly in the body?" Haitang Duoduo's face was full of wonder, which broke her understanding of warriors.

As we all know, warriors absorb true qi by guiding external energy into the body through some specific actions, and then guide it through the meridians and store it in the dantian. This is the experience summed up by countless ancestors for thousands of years.

The reason why it is stored in the dantian through the meridians is also very simple, because the free energy between heaven and earth is not stable, it is easy to cause damage to the human body, and guiding the energy into the meridians is actually a process of subjugation and assimilation.

Among the organs in the human body, only the meridians and dantian are tough enough to withstand the impact of these energies.

But now Ku He told her that some people can store true qi directly in the body without using meridians.

"How is this possible?" Haitang Duoduo felt that her worldview had been overturned.

Ku He shook her head slowly: "Nothing is impossible in this world, not to mention that he has entered the temple."

As a loyal believer of the temple, in Ku He's view, there is nothing that the temple cannot do. Anything that sticks to the temple is understandable, no matter how magical it is, which further proves that Qin Hao has entered the temple.

"Is the temple really that magical?" Haitang Duoduo asked suspiciously.

Ku He said with a pious face: "Of course, the magic of the temple is far beyond your imagination."

"Do you remember the man with the eye mask last time?"

"Of course, he is very powerful. He can even tie with the master, but isn't it said that there are only four great masters in the world? Is he the newly promoted fifth grandmaster?" Haitang Duoduo fought with Wu Zhu, and the other party didn't even use the true energy, and defeated her with one move. Such a person can only be a grandmaster.

Ku He's eyes were full of reminiscence: "No, he was so amazing more than 20 years ago."

"Twenty years ago? He looked no more than 30 years old, right?" Haitang Duoduo remembered that she had asked the other party what he used to maintain his appearance.

"I don't know how old he is, but I know that he will never age. Even in another 20 years, he will still look like this."

"What?"

Haitang Duoduo suddenly felt dizzy. In such a short period of time, her worldview was repeatedly washed and overturned, making her even doubt whether she was dreaming.

If these words were said to her by someone else, she would definitely doubt whether this person was a lunatic, but she would never doubt the words of her master.

"Now you know why I want to keep this kid alive? The secret of immortality is in the temple!" Ku He's eyes flashed with enthusiasm.

As a grandmaster and a member of the Northern Qi royal family, Ku He no longer has much to pursue in the secular world, but people will always grow old and die, and grandmasters cannot defy the laws of nature.

The temptation of immortality is so great that no one can resist it, no matter if they are kings, generals, or great masters.

It was the first time that Haitang Duoduo saw Master’s expression like this, and she was a little scared for a moment, until Ku He gradually calmed down and restored her appearance as a hermit.

“By the way, Master, didn’t the blind man want to stop you from killing Sean? Why did he suddenly leave?” Haitang Duoduo carefully changed the subject.

Ku He said in a calm tone: “I promised not to attack Sean and the Qingguo kid, and he left.”

“He has a good relationship with Sean?”

"No, what he wants to protect is that Qingguo boy."

"What's that man's name?"

"Fan Xian."

"oh."

While the master and apprentice were chatting, Qin Hao suddenly let out a painful roar, and then punched the lake in front of him.

"boom"

A column of water rose into the sky, creating a wave of about ten feet, and then turned into water droplets all over the sky, falling on the lake.

At this moment, Qin Hao's closed eyes slowly opened, breathing heavily, as if he had just been fished out of the lake, and his whole body was soaked with sweat.

However, these could not hide the excitement in Qin Hao's eyes. He finally found a way to regain his strength.

Since the meridians are cut off, he does not rely on the meridians. Since he cannot use his Dantian to store the true energy, he uses his body as a container.

Of course, in this way, every time he practices, he has to endure pain that is unbearable for ordinary people, but the benefits are also obvious. First of all, he does not need to assimilate external energy through meridians, and his cultivation speed will be far faster than that of ordinary warriors. Secondly, if he does not pass Dantian stores true energy, but uses the entire body as a container. The amount of true energy he can store is also far beyond that of ordinary warriors.

At this moment, Lang Tao suddenly broke into the courtyard and whispered in Ku He's ear.

Ku He said to Qin Hao: "Boy, get ready. We are going to the temple in half a month."

Only then did Qin Hao understand that Lang Tao had left to contact the Northern Qi royal family for Ku He.

Ku He has been to the temple, so he knows very well that it is impossible to reach the far north where the temple is located alone. Even a great master will starve to death if he cannot find food for a long time in the boundless snowfield. .

There must be a well-equipped and well-supplied army to reach the temple.

"Half a month, isn't it a bit too hasty?" Although Qin Hao has found a way to restore his strength, the amount of zhenqi in his body now is at most that of a fourth-grade warrior. If he wants to return to the peak of ninth-grade, everything must be done. If everything goes well, it will take half a year.

"Boy, I'm not discussing with you, either go or die!" After Ku He said this, Qin Hao was instantly enveloped in a heart-stopping killing intent.

"Ahem, Master Ku, don't blame me for not reminding you. Without sufficient supplies, even the Grand Master cannot survive."

Facing Qin Hao's "well-intentioned" reminder, Ku He said calmly.

"You don't need to worry about this. I have been preparing for this day for twenty years."
