Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 870 Breaking and then standing up

Northern Qi, in a big mountain behind Luoping County.

After half a month's trek, Qin Hao and his three companions finally arrived at the place where Ku He was practicing.

Before reaching the top of the mountain, Qin Hao felt that the energy in the air was at least twice as high as that in other places. Unfortunately, after so long, Qin Hao's meridians still hadn't recovered, and he was now just an ordinary person with relatively strong strength.

"Follow me." Haitang Duoduo couldn't stand the fact that Qin Hao still had the mind to travel around, so she glared at him.

Qin Hao was still leisurely hanging behind, pretending to appreciate the beautiful scenery in the mountains. In fact, he had memorized the way he came here one by one in his mind. Although the possibility of escaping from the grandmaster was almost zero, Qin Hao was still used to preparing for a rainy day. What's more, when he passed by Shangjing City, he took advantage of Haitang Duoduo's inattention to pass on the message. Maybe there would be a turning point soon.

Ku He walked in front of the team. He rarely communicated even with Haitang Duoduo. To Qin Hao, he felt a bit like a Buddhist monk, except that Ku He believed in the temple rather than the Buddha.

Finally, Ku He stopped in front of a lake.

Looking around, a clear blue pond creates a colorful halo under the sunlight. The turquoise water is crystal clear and reflects the lush forests and blue sky around it.

At the end of the pool, nine silver chains cascade down from the cliffs, majestic and powerful, making a deafening roar and stirring up splashes of water like white snow.

"Let's go." After saying that, Haitang Duoduo grabbed Qin Hao's arm, jumped up like picking up a chicken, and went into the Jiulong Waterfall.

Inevitably, Qin Hao, who had no true qi to protect his body, was soaked by the rushing water of the waterfall. A sly smile flashed in Haitang Duoduo's eyes.

The tiger is bullied by the dog in the plain, Qin Hao decided that if he had the chance in the future, he would let Haitang Duoduo taste the feeling of "getting wet".

"Master, you are back."

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

However, the moment Lang Tao saw Qin Hao, the joy on his face immediately turned into anger, and he subconsciously reached for the chain axe at his waist.

"Stop, you can't kill him now." Ku He stopped Lang Tao from doing that.

Lang Tao looked at Ku He in confusion.

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

Haitang Duoduo patted Langtao's shoulder and sighed softly: "If Master hadn't stopped me, I would have killed him long ago. It wouldn't be your turn to do it."

"Why?"

"He knows some secrets that can be useful to the master."

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

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

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

Hearing this, Qin Hao leaned over to Lang Tao's ear and whispered, "I don't think this day will ever come."

"You" Lang Tao's lungs were almost exploded with rage, and he wished he could chop Qin Hao into meat paste with double axes on the spot.

Haitang Duoduo saw this and quickly pulled Langtao away: "Big Brother, don't be fooled by him. His muscles and veins are all broken now. You can kill him anytime you want. Don't let Master down."

"All the meridians in the body are broken? Did the master take action?" Lang Tao grabbed Qin Hao's wrist. He thought that Qin Hao was controlled by the master through some means.

"It can be considered as an attack." Haitang Duoduo recounted the story of five people besieging Qin Hao with a complicated expression.

Upon hearing this, Lang Tao looked at Qin Hao with an incredulous look. It would be fine for others, but Feng Xinglie, the Whirlwind Blade, and Muchen, the Shadowless Sword, were both ninth-grade peak masters. He was confident that he could win in a one-on-one fight, but it would also require some price. If it was a one-on-two fight, he would have no choice but to run away.

As for fighting one against five, Lang Tao didn't even dare to think about it. However, Qin Hao did it. In the end, if the grandmaster 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-and-death feud."

"Arrogant, but unfortunately you will never have the chance to defeat me again." Lang Tao gritted his teeth.

"So you must not take advantage of others' misfortune. Otherwise, how shameful it would be if the news got out? It might even become a demon in your heart."

Seeing Qin Hao's rogue appearance, Haitang Duoduo quickly pulled Langtao away and advised: "Brother, don't listen to his nonsense."

"No, he has a point. If I kill him now, it would be unfair." Lang Tao stared at Qin Hao and said seriously, "Boy, recover quickly. I want to defeat you fairly!"

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 about the method of entering the temple. Ku He also knew that Qin Hao would not easily tell him this secret. However, Lang Tao was sent out by him, and no one knew what she was going to do. Qin Hao tried to ask Haitang Duoduo indirectly, but from her expression it seemed that she didn't know either.

"Hey, what are you dawdling about for? Can't you see us eating? Help serve the dishes."

Haitang Duoduo shouted at Qin Hao in annoyance.

Qin Hao stretched and sat up from the boulder. It was so comfortable to feel the warm winter sun shining on his body. However, what made Qin Hao depressed was that after these days of recuperation, the injuries to his internal organs had shown signs of improvement, but his broken meridians could not be repaired no matter how he practiced the "Tianyi Dao Gong Fa".

"How did Emperor Qing become a Grandmaster?"

Emperor Qing had encountered the same situation in the past, but how he was able to break through and then stand up again to become a grandmaster, probably only he himself knew.

At the dinner 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 glare at Qin Hao.

"You did it on purpose, didn't you see my chopsticks were here? Why don't you move aside?"

Qin Hao subconsciously retracted 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's eyes: "Are you stupid because of my scolding?"

"Say what you said again."

"Can't you see the chopsticks here? Can you move aside?"

Qin Hao suddenly slapped his thigh, dropped his bowl and chopsticks, and sat cross-legged on the stone beside him again.

Haitang Duoduo was at a loss for words because of Qin Hao's inexplicable behavior: "Master, is he crazy?"

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

It was not until half an hour later that Ku He suddenly widened his eyes, and a look of shock appeared on his face, which had been as calm as an ancient well.

Haitang Duoduo had just finished cleaning up the dishes. Seeing her master's look, she subconsciously followed his gaze.

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

Haitang Duoduo was a little confused. Aren’t these just some basic exercises? Why did he have such an expression?

"Master, he."

Before Haitang Duoduo could finish her words, Ku He raised her hand to interrupt her: "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. Even though his tendons and veins were broken, he found another way to store the true energy directly in his body instead of in his dantian."

"Store the true energy directly in the body?" Haitang Duoduo's face was full of disbelief. This broke her understanding of warriors.

As we all know, warriors absorb true qi by guiding external energy into the body through certain specific movements, and then circulate it through the meridians and store it in the dantian. This is the experience summed up by countless predecessors over thousands of years.

The reason why the energy is stored in the Dantian through the meridians is very simple. Because the free energy between heaven and earth is not stable, it can easily cause damage to the human body. Guiding the energy into the meridians to circulate is actually a process of subjugation and assimilation.

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

But now Ku He told her that some people could store true energy directly in their bodies without using meridians.

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

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

As a loyal believer of the temple, in Ku He's opinion, there is nothing that the temple cannot do. Anything, no matter how magical, can be understood as long as it is related to the temple. This also further confirms that Qin Hao has entered the temple.

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

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

"Do you remember the guy with the eyepatch last time?"

"Of course, he is very powerful. He can even fight Master to a draw. But isn't it said that there are only four great masters in this world? Could he be the newly promoted fifth grandmaster?" Haitang Duoduo had fought with Wuzhu before. The opponent didn't even use her true energy and defeated her with one move. Such a person could only be a grandmaster.

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

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

"I don't know how old he is, but I know that he won't age at all. Even in another 20 years, he will still look the same."

"what?"

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

If someone else had said these words to her, she would definitely suspect that the person was a lunatic, but she would never doubt her master's words.

"Now you know why I want to save this kid's life? The secret of immortality lies in the temple!" A hint of fanaticism flashed in Ku He's eyes.

As a grandmaster and a member of the Northern Qi royal family, Ku He no longer has many pursuits in the secular world. However, people will always grow old and die, and the grandmaster 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 grand masters.

It was the first time that Haitang Duoduo saw her master's expression like this, and she was a little scared for a moment, until Ku He gradually calmed down and returned to the appearance of a hermit again.

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

Ku He said calmly, "I promised not to attack Xiao En and the Qing country boy, and he left."

"He's close to Sean?"

"No, he wants to protect that Qing country kid."

"What's that man's name?"

"Fan Xian."

"Oh."

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

"boom"

A column of water shot up into the sky, creating waves several feet high, and then turned into water droplets all over the sky, falling on the surface of the lake.

At this moment, Qin Hao's tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and he gasped heavily. He looked like he had just been fished out of the lake, and his whole body was soaked in sweat.

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

Since his meridians were severed, he would not rely on them. Since he could not use his Dantian to store Qi, he would use 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 the circulation of meridians. His practice speed will be far beyond that of ordinary warriors. Secondly, he does not store true energy through Dantian, but uses the whole body as a container. The true energy he can store is also far beyond that of ordinary warriors.

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

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

Qin Hao then realized that Lang Tao had left to contact the Northern Qi royal family on behalf of Ku He.

Ku He had been to the temple, so he knew very well that it was impossible to reach the far north where the temple was located alone. Even a great master would starve to death if he could not find food for a long time in the vast snowfield.

It would be impossible to reach the temple without a well-equipped and well-supplied army.

"Half a month, isn't that a bit too hasty?" Although Qin Hao had found a way to restore his strength, the amount of true energy in his body was at most that of a fourth-grade warrior. If he wanted to return to the peak of the ninth grade, it would take half a year if everything went well.

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

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

In response to Qin Hao's "well-intentioned" reminder, Ku He spoke in a calm tone.

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