After returning to the forest, Gu Hongzi brought the unconscious An Shigeng into the depths of the barren mountain. There was a cave there, and it was where Gu Hongzi was resting.
At this moment, An Shigeng's acupuncture points had been tapped and he had been hit by the Soul Shifting Technique. His entire body was delirious as if he had been hypnotized. Whatever Gu Hongzi asked, he would answer.
Gu Hongzi asked in detail and found out that An Shigeng's martial arts were passed down from Xingxiu Sect, and the entire An family's martial arts were also passed down from Xingxiu Sect.
An Shigeng and his father, An Yunshan, did not have any official positions in the Great Song court. They were not even close to becoming civil officials or generals. However, the An family had always been doing good deeds. During the famine years, they opened a porridge factory and often helped some poor people, so they had a high reputation among the people.
In fact, Gu Hongzi knew that An Yunshan had already hooked up with Chai Jing, the Prime Minister of the Great Song. After An Yunshan had controlled Chai Jing with poison, he would make his move on the Song Emperor.
Gu Hongzi had always wondered why An Shigeng knew the Divine Weapon Technique of the Western Regions and had mastered so many strange poisons of the Western Regions. Only now did Gu Hongzi understand.
Xingxiu Sect had been stationed in the Western Regions back then, and the entire sect was passionate about making poison. Since the An family was the successor of Xingxiu Sect, everything made sense.
It turned out that the An family was not originally from the Central Plains, but from the Zhao and Wu families of the Western Regions. The famous leader of the An Lushan Rebellion of the previous dynasty, An Lushan, was actually a member of the Zhaowu Nine Families.
There was no surname An among the Han people. These barbarian races had only evolved into nine surnames, of which the An surname was the largest of the nine.
After An Lushan's rebellion in the previous dynasty was suppressed, the surviving members of the An Family returned to the Western Regions. They lived near the Sea of Constellations to the south of the Hexi Corridor.
More than two hundred years ago, the rebellious disciple of the Carefree Sect, Ding Chunqiu, defected and established the Xingxiu Sect in the Sea of Constellations. At that time, many of the An family's descendants joined Xingxiu Sect.
Among them, Ding Chunqiu's eldest disciple, Zai Xingzi, was a disciple of the An family. However, Zai Xingzi was unlucky and had half of his cultivation destroyed by Ah Zi. Therefore, he left Xingxiu Sect and returned to the An family.
Although he had escaped from Xingxiu Sect, he had brought all of Xingxiu Sect's martial arts and poisons back to the An family.
Originally, Xingxiu Immortal Ding Chunqiu absolutely did not allow defectors. However, not long after Zai Xingzi defected, Ding Chunqiu was hit by Xuzhu's life-death talisman in the great battle of Shaolin Temple and was imprisoned in Shaolin Temple for life.
Xingxiu Sect was just like birds and beasts scattering. That was why they could bring these martial arts back to the An family safe and sound by plucking stars. From then on, the An family set up camp in the Western Region.
In the generation of An Shigeng's father, An Yunshan was a genius who had developed a new way of the Xingxiu Sect's cultivation technique. An Yunshan reversed the flow of his meridians and was able to absorb the internal energy of others.
An Yunshan was so powerful that he was not willing to live in a barren place like the Western Regions, so he moved his family to the Central Plains. After decades of hard work, the An family finally had a certain amount of power in the Central Plains.
An Shigeng's father, An Yunshan, had already reached the Connate Realm ten years ago. He had been practicing day and night for the past ten years, and no one knew how much his martial arts had improved.
An Shigeng's talent was much worse than his father's, so he could not cultivate the Power Transformation Technique. Therefore, he could only cultivate some other martial arts of Xingxiu Sect.
Xingxiu Sect's martial arts were mostly passed down from Carefree Sect. Carefree Sect was a Daoist martial arts that emphasized the balance of Yin and Yang. However, Ding Chunqiu was obsessed with killing techniques, so it was nondescript.
The cold poison and fire poison internal strength in An Shigeng's body were the Carefree Sect internal strength that Ding Chunqiu had modified. Among the martial arts of the Carefree Sect, there were the extremely cold and Yin Life-Death Talismans and the extremely firm and Yang Heavenly Mountain Six Sun Palms.
The Carefree Sect emphasized the balance of Yin and Yang, but Ding Chunqiu was extremely Yin and Yang, pursuing power. Therefore, after some modifications, An Shigeng's fiery and cold internal art was created.
After knowing the An family's secret, Gu Hongzi felt that it was nothing much. It seemed that there were many inheritances of martial arts in this world. Sometimes, due to the chaos in the martial arts world, many martial arts would be lost. However, every few decades, a talented person would appear and create a new cultivation technique.
Looking at the confused An Shigeng, Gu Hongzi made An Shigeng recite all the An family's martial arts techniques that he knew. He felt that there was no need for An Shigeng to exist anymore, and he was about to kill him with a palm strike.
However, Gu Hongzi raised his hand and put it down again."An Shigeng, is there anyone else in the An family other than you and your father?”
Gu Hongzi had planned to kill the An father and son, but he had to get rid of them. Therefore, Gu Hongzi wanted to ask the An family.
"Other than me and my son, I have a younger sister in the An family. It's just that she was born by Lil 'Miss and cannot be accepted by our An family. Ten years ago, Lil 'Miss brought her younger sister and stole a cultivation method from the An family to escape from them. There was no news of her until now.”
"What martial arts did your sister take away?" Gu Hongzi perked up.”
"It's the Thousand Spiders Ten Thousand Poisonous Hands passed down in our An family.”
The corner of Gu Hongzi's mouth curled up when he heard that. The Thousand Poisonous Spiders was a martial art that the An family had inherited from Xingxiu Sect. This made things even more interesting.
Gu Hongzi stopped smiling and struck An Shigeng's head with his palm.
With a pop, An Shigeng's head shattered like a watermelon that had been hit by a hammer. Red blood and white brain matter splattered everywhere. At this moment, An Shigeng was already dead.
Gu Hongzi used his internal energy to bring An Shigeng's corpse to the bottom of the hill before leaving. Gu Hongzi didn't want to be stained with blood, even though he was the one who killed the man.
Gu Hongzi knew that An Yunshan was very powerful. Even if An Shigeng was only left with a head, he could still use the Thousand-Year Taisui to save him. Therefore, Gu Hongzi took the drastic measure and blew up An Shigeng's head.
He wanted to see what An Yunshan could do to save him!
Gu Hongzi didn't like the cultivation technique he got from An Shigeng, and the incomplete cultivation technique of Xingxiu Sect wasn't worth cultivating. However, these cultivation techniques could be handed over to the system in exchange for martial arts points.
