Chapter 226: Cold Challenge: In-Body Version
"Brother Zhongli?"
Gu Sanqiu nodded: "Brother Zhongli is well-informed, and he might remember some relatively obscure knowledge that could be helpful to me."
This was of course just an excuse. How could the old man not know what it was? It was just that he didn't have a good opportunity to ask directly before.
Gu Sanqiu suddenly looked forward to the arrival of the yellow-haired sword-less god of war.
Once I have exposed the old man's disguise, I can just ask him directly if I don't understand anything about ancient times. It is extremely convenient.
Well, according to this line of thinking...
Can I push the old man into the secret vault to replace me as the manager or something?
Then I can stay away from those psychopaths!
This wave, this wave is re-employment of retirees!
Gu Sanqiu suddenly perked up: "Then it is happily decided. Let's go to the Hall of Rebirth now."
"Why are you so happy all of a sudden?"
Hu Tao was a little puzzled. They had played together since childhood, so she knew Gu Sanqiu very well.
"It's nothing. I just suddenly figured out a cooking problem. I'll cook for you next time."
"I'm going to eat it when I get home!"
"Okay, okay, I'll pack up the materials and take them over. Wait for me."
…
Twenty minutes later, Zhongli calmly picked up a cup of tea.
"I do know something about the phenomenon that Brother Gu mentioned, but not much."
"Brother Zhongli, please explain in detail."
The "not much" that the big guy mentioned is definitely not that simple. If you know "not much" about a person, you might even be able to find out the pattern of his or her favorite underwear.
"That phenomenon, or ability, was called the Killing War Spirit by the immortals during the war. The principle is unknown for now, but the source seems to come from the external scene, one of the three secrets of the immortals, and is manifested through martial arts analysis."
Martial arts exteriors?
Gu Sanqiu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to hear words that he was familiar with.
"However, from the records I read at the time, it seemed that activating this ability consumes a lot of energy, but it is a very precious secret method of 'overcoming the powerful with the weak'."
"An underdog defeats a superior one?"
Zhongli nodded, "During the war, in addition to fighting the followers of the enemy demon god, the soldiers of the Thousand Rocks under the command of Emperor Yanwang even had to briefly fight against the demon god's creations, and even the original body."
"Brother Gu's family has been passed down for a long time, so you should know this."
Gu Sanqiu nodded: "Brother Zhongli, what you mean is that the killing spirit is a secret method of fighting, and if you practice it to the extreme, you can even fight against the devil?"
"It's not recorded in such detail, but based on the records of the demon god's power in ancient books, even if he has a secret method to defeat the stronger with the weaker, he may only be able to resist, rather than fight."
Zhongli said: "However, we can analyze some things from the current Qianyan Army."
"Brother Zhongli, please give me some advice."
"The Thousand Rocks Army is descended from the Thousand Rocks Group. The Liyue civilization has never been interrupted, so even the organization of the Thousand Rocks Army has not changed much."
"Individual members, small teams, and even well-organized large teams. If the records in the classics are correct, in those days, even a small team of Qianyan group members could use that ability."
"If you put them together, even if it's the power of the demon god, being able to resist a bit should be considered normal."
Zhongli took a sip of tea and said, "That's all I know about this. I wonder if this can be of any help to Brother Gu."
“It’s helpful. It’s really helpful.”
Gu Sanqiu nodded repeatedly. He understood. The Killing Intent Fighting Soul was somewhat similar to the settings of the special effects he had seen before.
If they encounter small monsters, the protagonists will put on colorful clothes, carry exaggerated weapons and rush forward to mow them down. If they encounter more powerful monsters, they will get into the mecha and activate a more powerful form.
Then if I encounter the final boss, I will form the head, tonsils and so on in a matter of minutes. It's simple and clear.
“It’s good to be of help.”
As soon as Zhongli finished speaking, Hu Tao instantly hugged Gu Sanqiu's arm.
"You promised to make me something delicious, go now!"
"Okay, okay, you greedy cat will definitely be included."
Gu Sanqiu touched Hu Tao's head, then pushed him back to his seat.
…
"Come on, both of you, let's re-enact the classic of Bingbingliangliang Baiguo Mountain."
Gu Sanqiu lifted a large plate of ice cream onto the table. "It contains fruits with various elemental powers. It can effectively prevent minor diseases such as stomach colds caused by eating too much. It can even replenish the body's elements."
"I'm going to start!"
Ψ(￣▽￣)Ψ
Walnut held two large spoons in his hands, his eyes shining: "I must finish it!"
Zhongli looked at the spoon in his hand, and then looked at the hill of ice cream that was taller than the sitting Walnut.
"Well, from a common rational point of view, it is indeed a big challenge to finish eating this thing."
Zhongli looked at Gu Sanqiu: "Besides, Brother Gu, don't you think it's a little unhealthy to eat ice cream in this kind of weather?"
"To be honest, if the holder of the Fire Elemental God's Eye can be taken down by a little ice cream, the only way to freeze the raw materials is to go through the Queen of the Winter Solstice."
Gu Sanqiu waved his hand and said, "Relax, Brother Zhongli. This is a dish that I made after some improvements. Although the calories are a little bit higher , it is definitely healthy."
"Well, since it is a dish with extremely high nutritional value, why can't it be made directly into a type that can be eaten healthily?"
"That's why kids prefer candy to medicine."
Gu Sanqiu shrugged: "Humans are ultimately creatures of desire, and in many ways they seek benefits and avoid harm."
“Since I can make healthy food look and taste the way I like, wouldn’t it be better for my body and satisfy my sense of enjoyment?”
"I have learned so many things, the essence of which is to make my life better materially and spiritually. In this case, I am definitely willing to spend some time to do what I like."
Zhongli thought: "Hmm, that makes sense."
After saying that, Zhongli scooped up a small spoonful and ate it.
"The rich milky and fruity flavors, coupled with the cool taste, seem to be able to transport everything to various parts of the body for refrigeration and storage, giving birth to even happier things. It's just as Brother Gu said."
"Hey, thanks for the compliment."
"However, regarding the matter of the killing spirit, what arrangements does Brother Gu have?"
Zhongli looked at Gu Sanqiu.
"According to the speed of the Liyue Seven Stars, they should be able to summarize the capabilities of the Killing Intent War Spirit tomorrow. Brother Gu, do you need to tell them what you have learned today?"
"Oh, you're talking about this. Actually, if they can't figure it out, they will definitely come to me or ask the Wangsheng Hall if there are any relevant ancient secrets or something."
Gu Sanqiu supported half of his face with one hand and scooped out ice cream with the other hand.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. Go tell them yourself. By then, you won't have as much bargaining chips as when you wait for them to come to you on their own."
