Chapter 283 Brother-in-law, say thank you! (Please subscribe, please vote for the monthly ticket, please vote for the recommendation ticket!)
"Uncle!"

Meng Fan looked at Li Maozhen, with a playful smile on his face.

"Ok?"

"What did you call me?"

Li Maozhen had a stern expression, no emotion could be seen on his face, and he asked with extremely cold eyes.

"Brother-in-law!"

"Big—uncle—brother!"

Meng Fan was afraid that Li Maozhen couldn't hear clearly, so he spoke word by word deliberately, as if he was madly testing Li Maozhen on the verge of death.

"Your sister and I..."

Before Meng Fan could finish his words, he saw Li Maozhen narrow his eyes, and when his heterochromatic pupils suddenly widened, they were filled with murderous intent. The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.

boom! ! !
Meng Fan stretched out his right hand and blocked Li Maozhen's heavy punch at the side of his left ear, which was like a raging dragon escaping from the abyss. The strong wind brought by the fist blew Meng Fan's hair into disarray.

It can be seen that Li Maozhen was really angry.

It was like an angry dragon whose reverse scale was touched.

But Meng Fan's expression was extremely calm, and as he looked at Li Maozhen, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"not good!"

Li Maozhen's pupils constricted, and he thought to himself that something was wrong. In just a moment of fighting, Li Maozhen felt the "internal force" in Meng Fan's body, which was as vast as the ocean and so unfathomable.

It was like he was shaking an ancient mountain, like an ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating his own abilities.

Li Maozhen wanted to pull his fist out of Meng Fan's palm, but found that his fist was as if firmly grasped by a steel hoop.

No, it is harder than the steel hoop. Even pig iron should be broken by Li Maozhen's internal force.

Meng Fan slowly clenched his fist, and he could even clearly hear the rustling sound of Li Maozhen's broken palm bones.

He looked at the upper left side of Li Maozhen's abdomen and said, "I'm very curious, brother-in-law, to what extent can your Life-Destroying Gu do?"

The Life-killing Gu, a secret method of the Twelve Caves, now resides in Li Maozhen's spleen. It can be accomplished by nourishing it with one's own flesh and blood for ten years. After it is refined, as long as the Gu does not die, the person will not die. It has extremely powerful vitality and protective abilities.

Hearing Meng Fan's words, Li Maozhen's body couldn't help but tremble. He immediately used the internal force of the Fantasy Sound Technique in his body and flowed it into his other hand.

Then, it hit Meng Fan in the abdomen.

But how could Meng Fan give him this opportunity? He simply let go of his hand, and the aura around him suddenly burst out, creating layers of air waves, and directly blew Li Maozhen away.

Li Maozhen broke several towering ancient trees before he slowly stopped on his knees. When he looked at the palm that was crushed by Meng Fan, he found that after only a moment, the dislocated bones automatically returned to their original positions and the cracks on the metacarpal bones were repaired.

At this moment, Li Maozhen's pupils lit up with gold and red, and he muttered something. In an instant, thousands of poisonous bees flew out from the forest.

At the same time, all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants kept emerging and rushed towards Meng Fan like a dark tide.

Meng Fan was not in a hurry. Facing the vast sea of ​​insects, he said calmly: "Brother-in-law, do you know what Gu is?"

Li Maozhen looked resentful and asked him, who had just come out of Twelve Caves, what was Gu?
Then I'll let you experience it for yourself!

Meng Fan remained calm, as if he regarded these poisonous insects as nothing. Suddenly, a strange wave came from his body, similar to the momentum.

The moment the poisonous bees and insects felt this fluctuation, it was as if they had pressed the pause button, and the poisonous insects flying in the air fell down like dumplings.

They were all crawling on the ground, not daring to move, or in fact, they had already fainted.

At the same time, as that kind of wave passed through, even the life-killing Gu in Li Maozhen's own body became extremely frightened, as if it had met some natural enemy, and was so scared that it wanted to drill out directly from Li Maozhen's spleen.

If Li Maozhen hadn't used his internal strength to restrain him, he would have run away long ago.

When the Life-Destroying Gu saw that running away was useless, it simply curled up into a ball and pretended to be dead, not playing any more roles.

In other words, Li Maozhen's so-called immortality was broken just like that.

The next moment, Li Maozhen looked up at Meng Fan. For some reason, he felt a surge of fear and panic in his heart, as if his heart was about to burst.

That is the natural oppression that higher-level organisms exert on lower-level organisms, just like the fear brought by predators and natural enemies, coupled with the fear and incontinence that comes from falling rapidly from a high altitude.

At this moment, a kind of illusion appeared in Li Maozhen's mind, as if the person standing in front of him was not a person, but...

A real living dragon!
"Get down on your knees!"

As Meng Fan’s majestic voice sounded.

Li Maozhen seemed to be under endless pressure. His body was out of control and he knelt down with difficulty.

"How could this be?"

Li Maozhen struggled to support himself with both hands and said in horror.

Meng Fan was full of vigor and looked at the other party with a deep and solemn look, and said contemptuously: "I have already told you, brother-in-law, you don't understand Gu!"

For a long time, Gu magic was considered a sinister magic in the eyes of others, because Gu is usually associated with poison, and the most commonly used poison is the unpredictable poison extracted from the Gu worm.

But Gu does not mean poison.

The poison is only a part of the Gu.

What is Gu?
The one with a worm on top and a dish on the bottom is called a Gu.

In fact, there is no clear definition or conclusion about Gu. Many people think that Gu is a worm, or insect poison, but in fact, Gu is actually a creature that violates the laws of nature and transcends the boundaries of biology.

The most primitive method of making Gu is to put many insects in a container and let them bite and devour each other. The poisonous insect that emerges victorious is called a Gu.

Because the last surviving poisonous insect was unusual and had a more ferocious toxin.

Therefore, the definition of Gu is a certain specific biological individual, mostly insects, that is naturally or artificially created in a certain special environment.

This is actually very similar to the accumulation of toxins in nature, just like when shrimps eat something poisonous and accumulate toxins in their bodies, and when fish eat these shrimps, the toxins in their bodies will also accumulate more and more.

Just like in nature, some creatures are born without toxins, but as they eat more poisonous creatures, toxins naturally appear in their bodies.

This method of refining Gu can be described as the most crude and simple method, but it is undeniable that certain areas in nature have undergone countless years of evolution and are like natural Gu pots.

Poisonous insects are killing and devouring each other all the time, so it is natural that there are poisonous insects in the wild.

In the world of Under One Person, the records about Gu are actually very early, earlier than the era when various Taoist spells and magic appeared. The inheritance of Gu magic is extremely long, even earlier than the barbaric and uncivilized era.

Meng Fan inherited the Fuli Yuanshi Pearl and had long-term contact with Chen Duo, the Gu-body Saint Child, so he had a different understanding of Gu. In that wild, ancient, and dark era, there were already extraordinary people who used the innate Qi to detect Gu and developed a reasonable application system.

This application system, or the process of refining, using and repairing Gu, is called Gu technique.

And that strange man called himself the Ancestor Pan Wang.

He is also the origin and ancestor of all the witchcraft in the world of Under One Person, and is also known as the number one person in refining witchcraft!
Due to various reasons, whether it is the method of making the Gu, the dangerousness of the poison, the incurable nature of the poison, or the miserable condition of the people who have been poisoned, the art of Gu has become shrouded in an extremely mysterious veil.

But the witchcraft is actually a method of performing a task using the witchcraft as a medium. In fact, if you must say it, it is not a way of practicing at all.

The so-called poisonous insect is the essence of all things in heaven and earth. In fact, it is an insect that takes the essence of various insects, refines and condenses it into one body. Because of their various uses, various kinds of poisonous insects were developed by later generations.

Even the former ancestor Pan Wang could use poisonous insects to practice, refining his own nine insects into poisons, transforming them into magical powers, and achieving a pure immortal body.

After all, Gu is actually a tool.

A tool to assist people in practicing and protecting the Dao.

The essence of the Gu is actually a creature that goes against common sense and is catalyzed by humans.

The innate Qi, as the spiritual root of heaven and earth, has many mysterious uses. It can not only accelerate the speed of biological evolution and mutation, but also fundamentally affect the nature of organisms.

Compared to the Gu Masters in the world of Painting Jianghu: The Bad Kids who use their internal force to catalyze the mutation of Gu worms, their upper limit of growth is far lower than that of the aliens who use their innate Qi to give birth to Gu worms.

There is an essential difference between the two.

It is determined by the world level or rank.

Using the language of fantasy novels about cultivating immortals, they can be compared to: one is spiritual energy, the other is immortal energy.

Since the poisonous insect is a living creature, although it has a cruel nature, it will also be afraid of creatures that are stronger than it, and creatures of the same species.

In fact, there is no difference between Gu and humans. They are equally greedy, cruel, tyrannical, and have the same philosophy of struggling for survival.

The fluctuations that just emanated from Meng Fan's body were a kind of mimicry of pressure that Meng Fan developed based on his knowledge of the Beast Master and Xingyiquan as well as his own Dragon Luck from the Guochao period. It was not only aimed at poisonous insects, but was equally targeted at all living creatures.

In the mind of the Gu worm, Meng Fan is the Gu King, and in the mind of Li Maozhen, Meng Fan is the real dragon!

Cannot be disobeyed, like a god!

The pressure from the emperor and the pressure from the gods can be described in any way you like.

Meng Fan looked at Li Maozhen, whose face was filled with indignation, and couldn't help but look at him with some appreciation, as if he was looking at a qualified "ox or horse".

Anyone who has experienced this kind of admiring look knows that Tian Gong is thinking of how to cheat people again.

I have to say that Li Maozhen does have a good appearance, but unfortunately he is an extremely cold-blooded and ruthless person. However, he also makes people feel that he is a person with courtesy and principles.

Over the years, he has been committed to strengthening the State of Qi, unifying the world and dominating the nine provinces, and his perseverance and determination have turned this responsibility and commitment into an obsession.

Ultimately, this obsession led him astray.

Putting aside his own personality, Li Maozhen was indeed a character. At least in this chaotic and turbulent time, he had made great military achievements and maintained peace in the area.

After learning the secret of the Longquan Treasure Box, he decisively left alone for sixteen years, suffering torture in the Twelve Caves while practicing witchcraft, and his obsession became increasingly severe.

This is like a person who only wants to pursue his career and rarely has any romantic thoughts in his eyes. He is definitely a male protagonist!
On the other hand, he lost himself and put the burden of Qi Country on his sister.

For this, he not only gave up himself, but also sacrificed his sister's happiness. It can be said that as a brother, he was incompetent, but before his death, he spoke kindly and was still concerned about the safety of the empress.

In the early days, Li Maozhen launched continuous foreign wars in order to end the war and also intended to unify the world.

However, he did not expect that during the war to conquer the world, what he saw was the real misery of the people and the suffering of the people.

It was also because of this that his obsession with quickly unifying the world was exploited by the Bad Commander.

Li Maozhen certainly had his own agenda in what he did, but his lifelong obsession was to make Qi a strong country. If he had not left, he might have become a wise leader.

In the original novel, when he heard what Li Xingyun said, he was finally surprised and realized that he had been used by the Bad Leader from the beginning to the end.

Out of guilt and indebtedness towards his sister, at the end of his life, he passed on all his life's skills to the empress to protect her heart meridian, so that Li Xingyun's Huayang acupuncture method could protect the empress for two hours.

At the moment of his death, he asked Li Xingyun to protect Qi State.

It seems very tragic that the ruthless brother was defeated by the romantic protagonists, and then his ideas were proven wrong.

But if we look at it from a different perspective.

Li Maozhen, who was devoted to his career, was first deceived by Yuan Tiangang, the sixth brother. He abandoned his sister and gave up his power, and left the Twelve Caves, where he was gone for sixteen years.

Then, after enduring so many years of suffering in Twelve Caves and sleeping on straw and tasting gall, he returned home when he should have been reaching the peak of his life.

Well, his own sister was kidnapped, his little cotton-padded jacket was leaking, and it even turned around to deal with him. The Qi Kingdom, which he had been committed to developing, was attacked by Daliang because his sister helped Li Xingyun. Now its strength is not very good, and it has returned to the past.

If I don’t cause trouble for Li Xingyun, who should I cause trouble for?

Moreover, he was deceived so badly by Yuan Tiangang. Since Yuan Tiangang wanted to support Li Xingyun, Li Maozhen had to stand against Yuan Tiangang.

In addition, Li Maozhen himself is ambitious and really intends to become emperor. Li Xingyun, as a descendant of Li Tang, will become his biggest obstacle, so he will of course choose to take the opportunity to eliminate Li Xingyun.

Back to the topic.

Meng Fan now has a brother-in-law who is eyeing his future throne. So the question is, what should Meng Fan do with this brother-in-law?
Very simple.

Just beat him into submission!

Meng Fan has always believed that all the enemy's ambitions come from the lack of their own military strength, that is, his deterrent power over the enemy is not enough.

So, as soon as they met, Meng Fan gave this brother-in-law, whom he had never met before, a big gift, a fist as big as a sandbag, the kind that was enough for him.

Meng Fan slowly walked up to Li Maozhen, lifted his chin with his hand, patted his face rudely, and said, "You must be upset. Say thank you!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for sparing your life and not killing you!"

[Li Maozhen: "Listen to me saying thank you, because of you, the four seasons are warm..."]

But Li Maozhen still looked stubborn.

He studied in Twelve Caves for more than ten years, and it took him more than ten years to master the Life-killing Gu. But as soon as he left Rao Territory, he encountered such a thing!

Wouldn’t all his efforts over the past decade have been in vain?
Isn’t this bullying an honest person? !
At this time, Meng Fan put away his hands, stood with his hands behind his back, and said sternly: "Brother-in-law, today I am going to teach you a lesson. Please stop thinking about things that you shouldn't have."

"Remember, a minister can only be a minister, and never a king!"
