The Second Master stroked his long beard and exclaimed in amazement:
"I didn't expect that in less than a month, Shugo has made such a significant improvement."
Although the breakthrough of the Seven Killing Orders of Gods and Ghosts did not bring about much improvement in Hu Xiuwu's Qi training, it tempered his character. His eyes flashed with a divine light, and people could tell at a glance that he was a man of firm character.
When Hu Xiuwu can restrain the light in his eyes, his character cultivation will be able to reach a higher level.
Hu Xiuwu told the second master everything that had happened recently and asked him to help analyze it.
The Second Master took a sip of the incense that Hu Xiuwu offered him and said slowly:
"Well, that Zhao Fangxu has made it very clear to you. As long as you don't reveal Zhang Huaiyi's affairs and stir up a big wave in the alien world, the Nadutong Company will stand on your side and even help you cover up your own clues."
Hu Xiuwu said distressedly: "But, Teacher Huaiyi really didn't tell me anything back then, and he didn't teach me the Eight Wonders."
"I didn't go there for the Eight Great Techniques in the first place."
The Second Master snorted coldly, "It doesn't matter whether you know or not. The key point is that you are the only one who stayed with Zhang Huaiyi during the period before his death. There are always people in the alien world who hold the idea of 'not letting go if I kill the wrong person'."
"However, since Zhao Fangxu has suppressed the matter, this matter should not bother you in the short term."
Speaking of Hu Bayi, Erye was not as worried as Hu Xiuwu:
"The company won't make things too difficult for your eldest brother and Wang Kaixuan. Xiao Yunxuan and Wang Kaixuan's father still have some face to save."
"Neither of them made any big mistakes, so they'll be fine."
"It just so happens that your eldest brother's situation is similar to that of an innate extraordinary person. At his age, no sect is willing to accept him. It is just right for him to become my disciple."
I just don’t believe it. I can’t do Xiao Xiuwu or Hu Bayi.
Mr. Hui Er said angrily in his heart.
Chapter 62 Daily life
After chatting with Erye about Hu Bayi and himself, Hu Xiuwu recalled the news he saw on the plane:
"Oh, by the way, Second Master, I saw at Jianghu Inn that all the Northeastern Shamans were out in force. Do you know what happened?"
Master Hui was hovering beside Hu Xiuwu, the Yin Qi around him changing like clouds and mist, and there was some surprise in his tone:
"All the shamans are going out? This is a big deal. The last time all the disciples went out was decades ago to resist foreign enemies."
"What else could possibly happen these days that would warrant the mobilization of all Northeastern Shamans? I'll have to ask my old friends who are still in the Northeast."
Hu Xiuwu was a little curious: "Oh, Second Master, can you contact the immortals in the Northeast even in Sijiu City?"
Do immortals have such means to transmit messages thousands of miles away?
Unexpectedly, when he finished speaking, Mr. Hui Er gave him a sidelong look and said, "Boy, do you think I'm an antique?"
"Of course I called other immortals in the Northeast to find out the situation."
Hu Xiuwu: I was careless.
······
The next morning, Hu Xiuwu, who had a rare moment of free time, went to look for Wang Ye.
When he arrived at Wang's house and met Wang Ye, Hu Xiuwu found that Wang Ye was different. There was a gleam in his eyes, his breath was long, and there was a method in his walking, sitting and lying down. He was not as loose as before.
It seems that Wang Ye has already received the true teachings from Wudang. Hu Xiuwu raised his eyebrows, put his arm around Wang Ye's shoulders, and whispered to him:
"Okay, Xiaoye, you can learn real things from Wudang in just one summer vacation."
Wang Ye quietly replied: "It was also because Grandpa Zhou and Taoist Yunlong did not treat me as an outsider. My father mentioned it to Grandpa Zhou and said that he wanted me to study in Wudang for a period of time, and Grandpa Zhou agreed."
As the CEO of Zhonghai Group, Wang Weiguo knew a little about the world of extraordinary people, otherwise he would not have agreed to let Wang Ye go to Wudang to practice, and he also found an extraordinary person as his deputy.
Hu Xiuwu patted Wang Ye on the shoulder and said, "Since you have already obtained Qi, are you interested in fighting with me? I also want to experience the Wudang Tai Chi power."
Hu Xiuwu could rarely win an argument with Wang Ye, but this time he had a great opportunity to teach Wang Ye openly under the pretext of instructing him on his skills.
Hu Xiuwu was already preparing to teach Wang Ye a lesson.
Unexpectedly, Wang Ye seemed to have noticed Hu Xiuwu's little thoughts and looked at him with contempt:
"Stop it, I heard Aunt Hu say before that you were sent to Mount Mao a long time ago, and your experience and cultivation in Qi training must be better than a novice like me.
"Since I already know the result, why should I fight with you? If I want to improve my skills, wouldn't it be better to spar with my fellow disciples in Wudang? Why should I go out and get beaten?"
Unable to trick Wang Ye with one sentence, Hu Xiuwu continued unwillingly:
"Really not going to give it a try? Your fellow disciples are far away in Wudang, not in Sijiu City. How close am I?"
Wang Ye said lazily: "I am not practicing Qi to compete with others. Now is a peaceful era, so it's enough to just show my skills."
"Tsk."
Hu Xiuwu sighed lightly, feeling a little regretful.
"Humph," Wang Ye glanced at Hu Xiuwu with empty eyes, "I knew you were up to no good."
"I haven't seen Xiaotian and the others for a long time. Let's go sing with them today."
"Singing again, are there any other activities?"
"Xiaotian just bought a game console. How about going to his house to try it out?"
"Okay."
······
After returning to Sijiu City, Hu Xiuwu's life suddenly became comfortable. The only pity was that Wang Ye had always refused to fight with him.
In addition to going out to play with Wang Ye, Hu Xiuwu still had plenty of time after practicing the Golden Light Mantra at home.
He finally had time to perfect the Ghost Mound's attack method, modifying the original air pump structure to turn it into an air gun, and then went to the hardware store to buy a handful of steel balls.
From now on, Hu Xiuwu can use the Ghost Tomb to imitate the Finger Flickering Skill.
Although Hu Xiuwu does not have the golden eyes that match the finger-snapping magic, and cannot perform ultra-long-range and beyond-visual-range attacks, he does have an air gun with him and has a long-range attack method.
During the trip to King Xian's tomb, Hu Xiuwu also learned the Wind and Fire Order and controlled the Tushita Fire.
Now that he has free time and the means, he can try to refine the Three Corpse Needles again and use the Tushita Fire to burn away the resentment of the Golden-Scaled Anaconda within the Three Corpse Needles.
Although this action will reduce the toxicity of the Three Corpse Needle, without the resentment of the snake soul in the needle, Hu Xiuwu can try to use his own Qi to nourish the Three Corpse Needle and turn it into his own weapon.
Hu Xiuwu's control over the Killing Order, or in other words, his control over his own emotions, has been improved to a new level. He no longer needs the fierce Three Corpse Poison to mobilize his emotions.
While Hu Yunxuan was teaching and his mother was out buying groceries, leaving Hu Xiuwu alone at home, he hid in Mr. Hui Erye's room and sealed the windows and doors to prevent anyone from noticing anything unusual.
He took out the Three Corpse Needles from his waist and placed them on the ground, then activated the Wind and Fire Order, and Hu Xiuwu spit out a golden line of fire from his mouth.
The bean-sized Tushita fire fell on the Sanshi needle and immediately began to burn violently like a spark meeting gasoline.
A ball of fire ignited on the Three Corpse Needles, illuminating the entire room and making it impossible to look directly at it.
Fortunately, the Tushita fire has no temperature and does not burn metal, stone or wood. It only uses the three corpses of various human emotions as fuel.
So although the Tushita fire burned fiercely, it did not damage the floor, and the Three Corpse Needles did not change at all in the fire.
Hu Xiuwu stood in front of the fire and felt it was dazzling but not scorching.
Mr. Hui Er also floated out from the spirit tablet and watched the scene with interest.
He had only heard other immortals describe the Seven Killing Orders of Gods and Ghosts before, and had never seen the complete Seven Killing Orders of Gods and Ghosts with his own eyes. When he met Hu Xiuwu for the first time (and was beaten), he did not recognize the killing order that Hu Xiuwu used.
Gao Laosan, the previous owner of the Three Corpses Needle, deliberately tortured the snake soul he sealed in the needle in order to arouse its resentment and enhance the toxicity of the Three Corpses Needle.
The Tushita fire was made from the resentment of the anaconda, and it ignited a fire on the ground. It burned for a long time before it was finally extinguished.
The resentment of the brocade boa constrictor was far beyond Hu Xiuwu's imagination, but it was still not as much as that of the mantis worm that had died at the hands of King Xian. The resentment was accumulated after being tortured by King Xian for two thousand years.
The Tushita fire, which was ignited by the resentment of the mantis worm, was so bright that it illuminated the gourd cave which was originally pitch black.
Hu Xiuwu picked up the Three Corpse Needles on the ground. Although the flames on the Three Corpse Needles were blazing just now, when the Three Corpse Needles touched his hand, he still felt cold to the bone.
Hu Xiuwu sent his Qi into the Three Corpse Needles. The situation of the Three Corpse Needles was a little different from what he expected.
After so many years of being eroded by resentment, the snake soul's spirituality has long been corroded and riddled with holes.
Once the resentment was gone, the snake soul no longer seemed as lively as before, but instead sat sluggishly in the Three Corpse Needles.
Chapter 63 Demon Sword?
Although Hu Xiuwu can now use his own Qi to nourish the Three Corpse Needles, Gao Laosan's method of transforming needles into snakes is useless without the cooperation of the snake soul.
Master Hui looked at the Three Corpse Needles in Hu Xiuwu's hand and consoled him:
"This little snake has temporarily lost its intelligence, but its foundation is still there. After a period of nurturing, it can regain its intelligence."
Hu Xiuwu played with the Three Corpse Needles twice to test the feel of the needle, and after hearing what Master Hui said, he said helplessly:
"Second Master, you don't need to comfort me. A while? I'm afraid it will take more than ten years of careful nurturing to restore the spirituality of this brocade-scaled anaconda."
"Don't worry, this is just the icing on the cake. If it doesn't work out, forget it. I won't be troubled by it."
Hu Xiuwu played a few tricks with his needles, put the Three Corpse Needles back into the needle bag, and changed the subject:
"Second Master, didn't you say before that you would call Northeast China to find out why the Shaman lineage suddenly mobilized en masse?"
"Did you ask anything?"
When Mr. Hui Er heard Hu Xiuwu asking about this, his face became serious and he stroked his whiskers:
"This matter is somewhat related to our family. To be more precise, it is somewhat related to your brother Hu Bayi."
???
Hu Xiuwu looked puzzled. What could this matter have to do with Hu Bayi? He was still receiving treatment in the bunker.
Master Hui Er said with a strange look on his face:
"I heard from the Bai family's sister (Hedgehog) that a strange person found a magical weapon in the Guandong Army fortress in Niuxin Mountain. It's a magic sword."
It is extremely difficult for extraordinary people to refine magical weapons. Ordinary weapon refiners usually have to spend several years of hard work to refine a magical weapon, so every magical weapon in the extraordinary world is extremely precious.
"Niuxin Mountain? Could it be the one that Big Brother and Fatty discovered? If Fatty knew there was such a treasure inside, and he didn't find it, he would probably stamp his feet and suck his teeth in pain again."
Hu Xiuwu complained in his heart,
Mr. Hui Erye went on to say, "That demon sword is called Hirumaru. It likes to see blood and loves to kill. It can provide great power to the person holding the sword. It is very famous in the alien world of Japan and is known as the best sword in the world."
