Martial God Development Plan

At this moment, Ji Zhao didn't know why he missed Ji Tan. If he could see her after waking up and hear her say "you're awake" in that half-dead and lazy tone, Ji Zhao felt that he might fall in love with her... As for the reason, Ji Zhao couldn't tell it, he just suddenly had this feeling.

"you're awake?"

At this moment, Gu Zhibai's weak voice sounded beside him. Ji Zhao was slightly startled, then he sat up with force. Gu Zhibai looked very embarrassed, her whole body was wet, her clothes were torn a lot, and the exposed skin on her face, neck, and calves were all covered with bruises and bloody scars. It was simply horrible... Ji Zhao knew without looking that his body was probably in the same condition as hers.

"...I was going to ask if you were okay, but it looks like you're not okay, just like me."

After a moment's silence, Ji Zhao spoke like this, his tone was very different from usual, as if he had taken off his disguise.

He had to admit that Gu Zhibai was somewhat special to him.

First of all, the other party was his savior. Although her motives might not be so pure, the fact that she was his savior was undeniable.

Secondly, Ji Zhao hated Ning Ren... He and Han Gongqiu had traveled north all the way and had seen too many Yan people whose lives were worse than death. In the six states of Cangyun, tens of millions of Yan people were either displaced or living a life worse than death. All this was caused by Ning Ren. Ji Zhao had lived in such an environment for more than a year, so it was impossible for him not to hate Ning Ren.

Third...Ji Zhao was unwilling to admit the above point.

Who is he?

A man who wants to destroy everything.

To him, is there any difference between Ningren and Yanren? If he succeeds, everything in this world will be reduced to ashes. What is the result of Ningren's sin? Is that sin even one billionth of his?

Furthermore, is he qualified to sympathize with the Yan people? In his hometown, aren't those people who have lost everything more worthy of sympathy? If they could still think, would they be waiting day and night for Ji Zhao to save them like a hero?

Therefore, Ji Zhao refused to "admit" that he hated Ningren and sympathized with Yanren. He forced himself to remain a bystander and abandon unnecessary thoughts. To this end, he tried to abandon racial prejudice and look at Gu Zhibai, the Ningren he had the most contact with, from a God-like perspective, but this seemed to be too easy to become a different kind of closeness...

The accumulation of these reasons resulted in Ji Zhao's previously somewhat strange attitude towards Gu Zhibai. However, now that both parties have become like this, neither Ji Zhao nor Gu Zhibai has the energy to pretend.

"Who do you think gave you this?" Gu Zhibai was also in a good mood. He could actually laugh in this situation, although it was a bitter laugh. "Ji Zhao...you owe me a life again. I dragged you here."

"If we can survive, I will think about how to repay you." Ji Zhao leaned against the rock wall, calmed himself down a little, and then began to observe his injuries.

There were no fatal or particularly exaggerated injuries, but there were many of them. There were various problems almost all over the body. It could be said that there was not a single piece of good flesh on the body.

"I say..." Gu Zhibai spoke at this moment, his voice lacking strength, "You can repay me for this right now... help me watch my back."

Gu Zhibai had a serious muscle sprain and could no longer perform large movements or movements that required flexibility. Some of the stones that hit her back were washed away by the water, while others sank deeper... With a warrior's immunity, it shouldn't have been a big problem, but Gu Zhibai jumped into the river not long after, and her wound was washed by the dirty river water for a long time. This was really...

"...Let me take a look."

Ji Zhao didn't act pretentiously. He couldn't say anything about Lin Zuo, but judging from the middle-aged man's mobility and tenacity, he must still be tracking him and Gu Zhibai. Now the two of them were on the same boat, so he couldn't just leave Gu Zhibai alone.

Ji Zhao moved and stood behind Gu Zhibai.

Lin Zuo used great force, and the stone penetrated Gu Zhibai's clothes and was pierced into them. Ji Zhao had learned some medical skills from Han Gongqiu and knew the emergency treatment methods for external injuries. After taking a look, he had an idea in his mind.

Volume 5: Human Escape Part 1: Chapter 22: Healing

"Take off your clothes."

Ji Zhao didn't waste any words, and tried his best to maintain a calm and natural tone... At this moment, he had to admit that Han Gongqiu's education was very important and meaningful. For example, when treating injuries nowadays, if Ji Zhao was a qualified doctor with a full set of treatment equipment at hand, he would have to take off clothes to complete the treatment, or take off less clothes. However, the fact is that he is a half-baked doctor and does not have any suitable instruments at hand, so this step is indispensable. Otherwise, if something is missed and infections and inflammations occur, Gu Zhibai will suffer a lot.

However, this request is really rude. Not to mention in this day and age, even in modern times, many women still cannot accept having their private parts seen by a doctor of the opposite sex...and, when this woman is their partner, I believe that most men cannot accept it either.

This was the case in that era, let alone today.

Therefore, when Ji Zhao said this, he felt somewhat guilty in his heart. However, Gu Zhibai did not say a word. She just turned around slightly, facing Ji Zhao's back, and then reached out to take off her clothes, revealing her back as white as jade... However, judging from her slightly trembling body, her heart was not as calm as she appeared.

"...No peeking."

Her voice was subtle, very different from her usual tone that sounded like she had everything under control.

Ji Zhao responded, then put aside all unnecessary thoughts, took out a dagger from his arms, and his internal energy surged, surging between the fire-attributed meridians in his body. The red moon internal energy, which was not originally a yang attribute, also carried a little heat. This ray of heat brushed across the blade of the dagger, barely serving as a disinfectant.

"It hurts a lot." Ji Zhao whispered, "You'd better be mentally prepared."

"......Um."

Ji Zhao cut with his knife, his movements were fast, accurate and ruthless, but the pain was still as severe as before. Gu Zhibai gasped, but endured it in the end, without making any loud noise.

Ji Zhao performed some simple treatments... He lacked tools, so these treatments left many hidden dangers. If it were an ordinary person, he probably wouldn't be able to do it this way, and it would definitely get infected and inflamed afterwards. But with Gu Zhibai's body resistance, as long as the wound was not continuously stimulated, there shouldn't be any big problems.

[“It would be great if I could have the inner energy like Master Yun.”]

Ji Zhao thought of Yunxiao... In the martial arts novels of his original world, there were often scenes of warriors transmitting internal energy to heal injuries. However, in this world, this basically did not exist, unless the two people were from the same school, practiced the same internal skills, and the nature of their internal energy was neutral and peaceful. Otherwise, the collision of two different internal energy was like throwing a gasoline can into a fire... So far, the only exception Ji Zhao had seen was Yunxiao. The nature of his internal energy was infinitely changeable and would not conflict with others. Although he might not be particularly domineering in combat, in terms of applicability, he was one of the best in the world.

Gu Zhibai put on his clothes and finally seemed a little calmer.

Ji Zhao sat back, and neither of them spoke for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

After a moment, it was Gu Zhibai who spoke first. She took a deep breath, and her tone was rarely firm.

"You can guess what I'm going to say."

"Don't tell anyone else." Ji Zhao said, "I know."

The toughness in Gu Zhibai's tone quickly faded away: "...That's good."

In Ji Zhao's opinion, Gu Zhibai should be regarded as the top Ningren spy. At such a young age, she has such cultivation and character. I think she must have experienced a lot of rigorous training... However, no matter how much training, children are still children after all. Super precocious children like *Hōdō who went to the battlefield to kill people at the age of six or seven and sighed about the village and family life all day long basically do not exist. As a woman, Gu Zhibai could not easily overcome her shame and easily let go of the incident just now.

Therefore, even though Gu Zhibai said those two sentences just now, the atmosphere in the room did not ease, but became even more awkward.

"..."

"..."

After more than twenty breaths, Gu Zhibai, who could no longer hold back, spoke again, trying to change the subject: "Your clothes... are not ordinary ones, right? They haven't been torn during this journey. The water dries up after shaking them. And, when you were bandaging my wound just now, you were still tearing my clothes."

————The action in the second half of the sentence was only possible because Gu Zhibai, a relatively rational person, was present. If it were someone with Fu Xieshi's personality, he would have exploded on the spot. It is normal for a man to tear clothes when bandaging a wound, but he did not tear his own clothes but had to tear the clothes taken off by women. This action is not only evil, but everyone knows what Sima Zhao is thinking.

Ji Zhao did not deny it. Facts speak louder than words, and it was useless to deny it: "This is the clothes given to me by General Lie. It is made of Qinglong silk from the Western Regions. It is impervious to water and fire, and it is hard to be penetrated by swords and guns."

Gu Zhibai was silent for a moment, but asked a somewhat strange question: "...So, were you reluctant to tear it open just now, or were you unable to tear it open?"

"We'll have both." Ji Zhao paused and stood up with all his strength. "I think we need some food."

The two of them had almost exhausted their strength after fighting with the river. Now was the time to replenish their energy. Ji Zhao, on his side, was protected by the Scarlet God Robe. Although he was still very weak and had many injuries, he was still able to move.

"...I'll leave it to you."

Gu Zhibai's condition was much worse, and he could only weakly reply, "They probably can't find this place for the time being... When I came out of the water, I couldn't see him anymore. I guess he ran out of energy and couldn't chase me anymore."

Ji Zhao responded and turned to leave the cave. Han Gongqiu had taught him some experience in surviving in the wild. Although he was in a bad condition now, it was not difficult for him to catch some edible small animals... However, this year was a famine year, and all the wild animals like rabbits had been caught long ago. Ji Zhao did not encounter any rabbits. Instead, he was attacked by a pack of wolves when he was extremely weak. His bad luck even made Ji Zhao himself laugh.

......

Half an hour later, Ji Zhao returned to the cave dragging the body of a wolf and some wood.

"I don't have the energy to find anything else... Let's just make do with this."

Volume 5: Human Escape: Chapter 23: People often become the people they hate the most

In old martial arts novels, such a plot often happens... The hero and a beautiful woman are stranded in the wild, the beautiful woman is growling with hunger, and the hero shows off his superb barbecue skills by slaughtering a wild beast... However, the reality is that the meat of wild animals is often fishy and woody, and carnivores are the worst hit. The fire is insufficient, and most of the meat is half-cooked, without seasoning, and tastes like chewing wax. Even peeling the skin or even processing some inedible parts is a big problem for these two novices. You can imagine what the food that comes out of the pot tastes like.

Ji Zhao and Gu Zhibai had bitter faces, but they forced themselves to stuff these things into their stomachs just to replenish their energy.

Despite the strong condemnation of their taste buds, the two of them gritted their teeth and ate and drank their fill, then began to use their internal energy to recover.

About two hours later, Gu Zhibai regained some mobility. After a brief discussion, the two decided to leave... They had been washed by the river for an unknown period of time and had completely lost their sense of direction. They didn't even know where they were. But no matter what, it would never be wrong to stay away from the river. As for what to do next, they would just take it one step at a time.

Perhaps because he had regained some strength, or perhaps because he had escaped from the most dangerous situation, Gu Zhibai's tone became a little lighter, "I always feel that every time I meet you, nothing good happens."

"That's the same thing I say." Ji Zhao paused, and then said, "So, after this, it's better for us not to meet each other in the future, so as to avoid any bad luck again."

"I refuse." However, Gu Zhibai covered her mouth and chuckled, but suddenly changed her address, "Young Master Ji, you still owe me a favor, are you trying to shirk it?"

"You said that being together would bring bad luck. I'm only doing this for our own good... Hold my hand."

When passing a steep slope with an exaggerated slope, Ji Zhao saw that Gu Zhibai was injured and had difficulty walking, so he took the initiative to extend his hand. After hesitating for a moment, Gu Zhibai reached out and held Ji Zhao's hand.

Ji Zhao exerted force and brought her up with him.

Gu Zhibai had no idea that this was the effect of the Scarlet God Robe. She was stunned for a moment: "Your Qinggong is really..."

Carrying a girl as light as a swallow up a steep slope is not a difficult task for most martial artists with some skills. The problem is that Ji Zhao, like her, had been soaked in the river for a long time, and she was in so much pain that she could hardly walk. How could Ji Zhao use his martial arts skills to do this? Is his body made of iron?

Ji Zhao naturally would not explain anything for Gu Zhibai. He shrugged his shoulders and let the matter pass.

The two continued walking for a while, and after climbing over a small hill, they saw a large lush jungle.

Gu Zhibai looked over. She was quite knowledgeable about geography. After thinking for a few breaths, she said:

"There are so many maple trees... This is the Changchun Mountains east of Fengzhou."

Ji Zhao had never been to Fengzhou, but he knew the approximate location of Fengzhou. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and said, "It's really far away."

The Changchun Mountains are not as large as the Luoyu Mountains, but the environment is special, with snakes, rats, insects and ants everywhere, making it almost uninhabitable. Therefore, it is considered a place far away from the hustle and bustle... In other words, it is not easy to get out of here.

"There's no turning back now." Gu Zhibai looked back, "Even if that person has supernatural powers, he won't be able to find us."

This was actually very reasonable. The sky was so big, and the earth was so vast. It had just rained, which covered up many traces. Under such circumstances, it would not be easy for the middle-aged man to find the two of them. But for some reason, Ji Zhao always felt a little uneasy.

"Hope it..."

The two of them set out together and began to cross the mountain range.

In this primitive and wild environment, Gu Zhibai could no longer maintain her previous elegant demeanor. At the beginning, she did not give up and even acted. After some time had passed, the two became more familiar with each other. After she was accidentally exposed in front of Ji Zhao once, she simply gave up and never acted again. Sometimes when she was bitten by a poisonous snake or insect, she would smile and say to Ji Zhao, "Mr. Ji, the opportunity has come. Help me suck out the poison. It's written in the storybook."

"I don't want it, it's disgusting, and this kind of poison is not a big deal, and besides, you can lick your feet yourself."

"What if this snake bites my throat?" Gu Zhibai said with a grin, "The throat won't be disgusting, and it's close to the head, so something might happen. Most importantly, I can't lick it myself."

"Then you can just wait to die." Ji Zhao had no expression on his face. He was already used to Gu Zhibai's teasing. "I have already made an engagement with Miss Lielian, and I will not do anything to let her down."

"Really?"

"of course."

"I don't believe it. All men are the same. Throughout history, as long as the penis is still usable, no one can resist the beauty of women."

"Miss Gu." Ji Zhao's tone suddenly became official, and he said gently, "There is a stream over there, please go over and take a look at yourself. You are swollen from being soaked in the water, and you walk in the mountains and forests all day, and finally you look like a savage. I don't want to say anything too harsh, but when I treated your back, I wanted to say that you are like a female ghost. I don't have such dirty thoughts in my mind at all."

"Young Master Ji." Gu Zhibai suddenly smiled... As a beauty who was as beautiful as Ji Tan and Fu Caige, even though she had been in such a miserable state for many days, when she smiled, she was still like a fairy from heaven, showing her breathtaking beauty. It was obvious that Ji Zhao's words just now were completely for the sake of debate and ignored the objective facts.

However, Ji Zhao was unmoved: "Hmm?"

"You still owe me two favors, right?"

"seems like it."

"It's not like, it's just... that little girl wants to use the first favor." Gu Zhi smiled but didn't smile, "Go to hell."

"I'm sorry to refuse such an impolite request."

"I saved your life, can't you agree to such a small request?"

"This is no small request... No matter what, at least don't take my life."

"So, as long as it doesn't cost you your life, you'll agree to anything?"

"Of course not. At least it can't go against my principles in dealing with people."

"Then help me suck out the poison."

"This goes against my principles in life."

"Excellent! Young Master Ji's principle in dealing with people is not to lick a woman's feet."

"That's not what I meant." Ji Zhao sighed helplessly, "I just hate betrayal."

Gu Zhibai walked to the stream in front. If it were Ji Tan, she would probably stare at her reflection in the water for a while, then laugh triumphantly and say that Ji Zhao was just farting and she was still as beautiful as ever. However, Gu Zhibai wiped her face with water and then smiled at Ji Zhao.

“However, people often become the people they hate the most.”

Volume 5: Human Escape Part 1: Chapter 24: The God of Fortune Leads the Way

In early February, the Changchun Mountains were not Changchun, and the weather was still very cold. Ji Zhao and Gu Zhibai were unable to leave here. Their progress was hampered by many factors such as logistics, weather, and sense of direction.

shhhhh!

Ji Zhao flicked out two small stones with his fingers. The Red Moon's internal energy was extremely explosive and powerful. The power of the two pebbles in his hands was no less than that of bullets fired from a small pistol. A rabbit fell down. If nothing unexpected happened, it would become a meal for Ji Zhao and Gu Zhibai... It must be said that in this deserted Changchun Mountains, resources such as game are relatively abundant, unlike the Luoyu Mountains, because the overall environment is relatively suitable for living, it is almost turned upside down by refugees.

“Succeeded…?!”

Before Ji Zhao could express his victory speech, he heard a whoosh and a flash of brown light. When he looked again, the rabbit on the ground had disappeared.

"There!"

Although Gu Zhibai's fighting ability had not yet fully recovered, her eyesight had not weakened at all. She immediately reminded Ji Zhao. Ji Zhao looked in the direction of her hand and saw a brown fox with an extremely wretched appearance. It was holding the rabbit that Ji Zhao had killed in its mouth. It did not run away at this moment, but kept a certain distance from Ji Zhao, shaking its tail lazily.

Ji Zhao seldom uses the word "obscene" to describe animals, but what can he say about this fox... It looks a bit like Alakazam from Pokémon, and with its current posture and movements, it makes people feel angry at the first sight of it.

call out!

Ji Zhao naturally would not allow this strange creature to snatch food from his mouth, so he flicked his fingers and fired again. However, the fox was as slippery as a loach, and it easily dodged Ji Zhao's attack by wagging its tail... This was not the reaction speed of a normal animal. To exaggerate a little, it was reacting to a bullet.

"etc......!"
