Chapter 175 The Taste of Love Wine
Chapter 175 The Taste of Love Wine
The Heart-Swept Palm!
Yang Guo created his own unique martial art, which incorporated all the knowledge he had learned in his life and his melancholy while waiting for Xiaolongnu to return. It can be said to be a concept-level martial art.
The more gloomy and heartbroken one's mood, the more terrifying the power of the palm technique.
In its normal state, it can rival the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.
When the mindset is right, even a strong opponent of the same level can be killed instantly with a single palm strike.
The Golden Wheel Dharma King, who has reached the tenth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, is highly qualified to speak on this matter.
It can be said that this is the most terrifying palm technique in the entire book, and also a martial art with an unfathomable upper limit.
"In this life, with me as his master, Yang Guo probably won't be able to create the Heart-wrenching Palm technique, which inflicts extreme damage."
To my surprise, the system rewarded me with it.
But I'm having such good luck, how can I unleash the full power of this palm technique?
Gu Qianbei frowned slightly, and then all seventeen moves of the Heartbreaking Palm were absorbed into his mind.
"Indeed exquisite."
Gu Qianbei sighed inwardly, "As expected of Yang Guo's strongest palm technique, it is indeed remarkable."
"It can be passed on to Yang Guo in the future, but I don't know if he will have the mindset to do it."
"It's a palm technique bound to him, so that shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Gu Qianbei thought for a moment and decided to wait until he saw Yang Guo before making a decision. For now, it would be better to taste this love wine.
The wine jar was opened, but there was no aroma of wine. The wine was transparent and colorless, and looked quite ordinary.
"This is your new wine? It doesn't smell like wine at all!"
Li Mochou asked in confusion.
"Colorless and odorless, that's really strange. Could there be a problem with the brewing process? Did it fail?"
Cheng Lingsu, who was standing to the side, also voiced her doubts.
Gu Qianbei laughed and said, "No, it's not a failure. This wine is called Love Wine, and it is colorless and tasteless before it is drunk."
But after drinking it, various flavors will emerge, and each time they are different, and they may even change depending on one's mood.
You can taste exactly what you want it to taste like.
It's just like human love.
Some people have smooth sailing in life, and love is as sweet as candy.
For some, life is full of hardships and difficulties, and love becomes incredibly bitter.
Some experience sweetness first, then bitterness; some experience bitterness first, then sweetness; some live a life of confusion; some suffer heart-wrenching pain, never attaining what they desire in their lifetime.
Upon hearing Gu Qianbei's explanation, both Cheng Lingsu and Li Mochou were astonished.
"There really is such a thing as wine in this world? You must be kidding me!"
Li Mochou didn't quite believe it.
But on second thought, although the effects of this wine sounded outrageous, it was still more acceptable than a pipe dream.
"Brother Gu, may I have a drink?"
Cheng Lingsu, on the other hand, was greatly intrigued and wanted to try the taste.
"Of course. This wine is made for people to drink."
Gu Qianbei condensed golden light into the wine glass and poured a cup for Cheng Lingsu.
"I want one too."
Li Mochou, naturally unwilling to be outdone, immediately followed suit and asked for one as well.
Gu Qianbei accepted all drinks offered, one cup for each person.
At that moment, the three of them drank the colorless and tasteless love wine together.
As the wine entered her throat, Li Mochou initially felt only a refreshing and mild taste, without any unusual sensation. However, in an instant, a surge of various sour and astringent feelings welled up within her.
The initial flutter of the heart, the warmth after the promise, and the desolation of a broken vow.
It is the grievance of unrequited love, the deep-seated hatred of being betrayed and despised, and the loneliness and resentment hidden in ten years of obsession.
Sweetness is extremely shallow, bitterness is extremely deep, hatred is extremely intense, and longing is extremely painful.
Love and hate intertwine into an unsolvable shackle, with past tenderness and years of resentment churning and gnawing at the mind inch by inch.
For her, this cup of love wine represents a lingering, unfulfilled dream, a love-hate dilemma, and the desolation and sorrow of unrequited desire.
Unbeknownst to her, a tear slid down Li Mochou's cheek.
Compared to Li Mochou's fierceness, Cheng Lingsu was much more peaceful.
The colorless and odorless wine slid down her throat, gentle and calm, without causing any ripples.
But soon, a faint sense of melancholy and a tender compassion spread through her.
It is a profound understanding that sees through the coldness and indifference of people's hearts.
It is a deep and unspoken affection.
It is the restraint of knowing there is no chance but willingly yielding and making way for the other.
It is a gentle compassion that seeks to heal the sick and save lives, and who has witnessed all the suffering of humanity.
There is no fierce hatred, no infatuation, only a faint sadness, a gentle tenderness, and a solitude that is indifferent to worldly strife.
Sweetness lies hidden in a hint of bitterness, gentleness is wrapped in loneliness, clear-headed and restrained, nourishing silently.
For her, this cup of wine represented a deep, quiet, and gentle heart, concealing a silent, protective forbearance and a life of quiet solitude.
Finally, a smile appeared on Cheng Lingsu's lips.
She had no regrets about love.
Gu Qianbei drank this cup of love wine, but her experience was completely different from theirs.
It was a profound and heartbreaking sorrow.
"This is……"
Gu Qianbei was taken aback; this tasted wrong.
Could it be...?
The technique of the Heart-wrenching Palm quickly surfaced in Gu Qianbei's mind, and he immediately experienced the magical and heart-wrenching artistic conception within it.
The next moment, he automatically entered this state of mind.
"The most heart-wrenching sorrow is that of parting."
Gu Qianbei murmured to himself, then moved and began to practice the Ecstasy Palm.
Frightened!
Worrying unnecessarily!
One palm strike after another came from Gu Qianbei's palms, causing the air to tremble slightly and the palm wind to rage.
Li Mochou and Cheng Lingsu both awoke from the effects of the love potion and looked at Gu Qianbei, who was performing the Ecstasy Palm, with puzzled expressions.
Why did you suddenly start practicing martial arts?
"Such powerful palm techniques, and why is there a sense of sorrow about them..."
Li Mochou murmured to herself, tears welling in her eyes, whether from the tears that had just been wiped away or from the tears that had just been left unseen.
Suddenly, Gu Qianbei struck out with his palm, hitting the stone wall not far away.
With a loud bang, a palm print suddenly appeared on the stone wall.
The palm print was three inches deep!
"this……"
Li Mochou and Cheng Lingsu were both shocked to see this.
The power of this palm technique is simply too astonishing.
If this hit a person, they would probably be smashed to pieces.
After completing the Seventeenth Form of the Heart-wrenching Palm, Gu Qianbei withdrew his palm and stood up, letting out a light breath.
"It turns out that this love wine is a medium for me to enter a state of melancholy."
In this way, there will be no problem of insufficient mental state preventing one from performing effectively.
The system is really thoughtful.
"They specifically had me brew this wine for this palm technique."
Gu Qianbei thought to himself that he was very satisfied with the result.
The power of this palm technique surpasses even the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms; it could be used as a powerful weapon against future enemies.
This also made up for the deficiencies in his palm techniques.
After all, he used to only have one move, "The Dragon Regrets," which was far too monotonous.
But with the Heart-wrenching Palm technique, things are different.
Most importantly, the Heartbreak Palm is unlike ordinary palm techniques; its moves are unpredictable and can easily kill someone on first sight.
"The love potion is ready; it's almost time to leave the Valley of Heartbreak."
As Gu Qianbei was thinking this, Li Mochou suddenly asked, "What kind of palm technique is this? It's so strange. I've never seen or heard of such a palm technique before."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianbei smiled slightly.
"Heartbreak... Soul-Sealing Palm!"
