Gao Lian understood immediately: "You are suspicious. Lu Ci knows the whereabouts of the magic sword, so he knows that the magic sword we have is fake."
"He never waits overnight to take revenge, but this has something to do with us."
"We at Nadutong are here to enforce the law. We can't search a strange person's home just because of a guess. That's against the rules."
"Let him be."
······
On the other side, Gao Lian and Bi Youlong were discussing the situation in neighboring countries, while Hu Xiuwu and Hu Bayi returned home with large and small bags to study daily necessities and holiday homework.
This time, Hu's mother was very satisfied that Hu Bayi brought his brother back safe and sound. She took Hu Yunxuan, who had just got off work, to the vegetable market and bought a lot of vegetables.
She was just an ordinary woman with no other skills. Being able to cook a sumptuous dinner for her children was her greatest happiness.
During dinner, Hu's mother called Wang Kaixuan over as usual. When Wang Kaixuan came, he was holding two bottles of good wine in his hands.
As soon as Wang Kaixuan saw Hu Bayi, he excitedly told him about his antique shop. With the help of Da Jin Ya, his antique shop had been successfully opened in Panjiayuan.
Although Wang Kaixuan was very excited about this matter, Hu Bayi was no longer interested in it.
After witnessing Yu Baiyuan's elegance, Liu Kunsheng's arrogance, and the magic of the fairyland, Hu Bayi has been deeply attracted by the affairs of the alien world.
I used to think that tomb robbing was thrilling, but now I think it’s a bit boring. With Mr. Hui Er around, these so-called ancient tombs are just like that and there is no challenge at all.
Now he is looking forward to what will happen after he starts working.
Wang Kaixuan, Hu Bayi and Hu Yunxuan finished two bottles of white wine. Then Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan supported each other and staggered back to their nest.
After returning to Sijiucheng, Hu Xiuwu suddenly became free. Hu Bayi temporarily left Sijiucheng and went to Tianjin to report.
Every day, Hu Xiuwu would either go to school with Wang Ye, quietly discussing his experience of practicing Qi in class, or practice swordplay and the Golden Light Mantra at home.
By using soul incense to nourish the Three Corpse Needles, the spirituality of the Golden Scaled Boa has become stronger and stronger, and in the past few days there have been signs of spiritual recovery.
Such peaceful days passed quickly, and more than a month had gone by in the blink of an eye.
It was the middle of the night, the moon was above the willow trees, and Hu Yunxuan and his wife were already fast asleep.
Ding, ding, ding,
In the quiet night, the sound of pebbles hitting the window was heard, coming from Hu Xiuwu's room.
Hu Xiuwu suddenly jumped up from the bed. He vaguely felt the presence of strange Qi outside the boat. He walked barefoot on the ground and walked silently to the window. He hid his right hand behind his back. The Ghost Tomb rune on his palm glowed faintly. Hu Xiuwu pulled open the curtains.
There was a black insect that looked like a wasp, hitting the window of his room.
Chapter 88 Three Demon Sects
It seemed that seeing Hu Xiuwu just standing at the window and not coming out, the black bee became a little annoyed and hit the window with more force, creating several cracks on the window.
Hu Xiuwu quickly opened the window and reached out to catch the black bee, but he didn't expect that the black bee was quite alert and was able to dodge Hu Xiuwu's arm, fly into the air, and dance in a figure eight in mid-air, tempting Hu Xiuwu to follow it.
What is this? Someone invited me? Who is it?
Although Hu Xiuwu has experienced a lot since he came down the mountain, he is actually not famous in the world of extraordinary people and is just a nobody.
The matter of the Eight Immortals Mountain was suppressed by Nadutong, and the mission of finding the Zhuochen Pearl was a top-secret operation. Zhao Fangxu also asked the company and Jianghu Xiaozhan to control public opinion on the incident of the demon sword.
The cholera-stricken Chaya Ciren in the Northeast is dead, and the Japanese alien who came to pick him up was defeated and captured by the kind-hearted Senior Yu Baiyuan who was "passing by", and the victim, the Northeastern Immortal Liu Kunsheng. Nadutong has arrested them in accordance with international practice.
This is the only truth.
So far, the people who know him are the immortals and their disciples from the Northeast, several directors of Nadutong, Liao Zhong and Gao Lian.
In order to avoid suspicion, Hu Xiuwu has not even gone to the North China Region Nadutong to visit Hu Bayi recently.
He was afraid of seeing Feng Baobao and Xu Xiang and being recognized by them. With his current strength, he was not qualified to explore the secrets behind the Jiashen Rebellion.
So, who invited me for a night out tonight?
Hu Xiuwu stood at the window and thought for a long time, spinning the people he knew in his mind like a rotating picture, but he still couldn't figure out who was visiting him late at night.
Seeing that Hu Xiuwu had not moved for a long time, the black insect seemed to be getting impatient. With its tail needle erect, it swooped down from the air like a fighter plane and crashed into Hu Xiuwu.
Hu Xiuwu gathered his Qi in his hand, made it into a knife shape, and used the knife Qi to cut off the black bee.
Unexpectedly, after Hu Xiuwu's palm knife touched the black bee, the black bee split into two, one flew in the air, and the other merged into Hu Xiuwu's body. After the black bee entered his body, Hu Xiuwu felt that the three corpse worms in his body seemed to be teased.
Only after being comforted by the Tushita Fire did he regain his composure. Hu Xiuwu touched his palm thoughtfully, and he knew who this person was.
······
In a park near Shichahai, the park at night is completely different from that during the day. The park is silent, with only the trees and their shadows looking at each other in silence, which creates a unique sense of quiet beauty.
In the center of the park, there was a man sitting on the grass with his eyes closed, as if he was waiting for someone.
A black line flashed across the sky and headed straight for the man. It flew next to him and then slowly circled around him. It turned out to be the black bee that had just knocked on Hu Xiuwu's window.
Behind the black bee, Hu Xiuwu controlled the talisman and followed the black bee into the park.
The talismans flowed on both sides of Hu Xiuwu like the ribbons in the Dunhuang murals.
Hu Xiuwu looked at the man in front of him. He was thin, had dark circles under his eyes, and his cheeks were sunken, making him look a little sinister.
"Are you the Corpse Demon Tu Junfang?"
Although it was a question, Hu Xiuwu's tone was very certain.
Three Corpses·Tu Junfang, an old man of Quanxing, can control the Three Corpses in his body to reveal their forms, and even cause the Three Corpses in other people's bodies to riot. His strength is enough to compete with the leaders of various factions (except Zhang Zhiwei).
Some people may even suffer great losses if they are not familiar with his moves.
The reason why Hu Xiuwu knew Tu Junfang was that when he was in Shangqing, Wu Dechang had specifically mentioned him to Hu Xiuwu as a negative example.
Tu Junfang is the last disciple of the Three Demons Sect. Although the Three Demons Sect is named after the devil, it is a righteous sect.
The sect calls them the Three Demons, in fact it is to warn the disciples that although the Three Corpses have infinite uses, they are still demons, and the disciples still need to be vigilant against the Three Corpses in their bodies at all times.
The ultimate goal of the Three Demon Sect's method is the same as the Seven Killing Orders of Gods and Ghosts, the Killing Order, and the Wind and Fire Order, which is to kill the three corpses in the body.
Although the abilities of the Three Corpses in the bodies of the Three Demon Sect's manifestations will be destroyed after the Three Corpses are killed, they can be exchanged for unprecedented peace of mind, just like Wu Gensheng and Feng Baobao, who have achieved great purity and freedom.
It’s a pity that since the leader of the Three Demon Sect died in the war, the Three Demon Sect’s method of beheading the three corpses like the Wind and Fire Order has been lost.
As for whether it is worth it, we only need to look at Wu Gensheng, who is born with this kind of mind and can realize the spirit of gods without a teacher; Feng Baobao can beat Zhang Chulan to make him call him master just by his reaction, and can also see through the qi of all extraordinary people and see through the qi situation.
You should be able to understand whether this deal is worth it.
If the person who picked up Wu Gensheng back then was Zhang Jingxu, the previous generation Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, perhaps they would be the two top masters in the world of extraordinary people now.
While Hu Xiuwu was looking at Tu Junfang, Tu Junfang was also looking at him. The black bee just now was the transformation of his upper corpse, Peng Ju.
When Tu Junfang looked at Hu Xiuwu, he suddenly laughed inexplicably:
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that old fellow Yuan Tao actually didn't lie to me. The Shangqing Sect's Seven Killing Orders of Gods and Ghosts finally has a successor."
Yuan Tao! Unexpectedly, he was the one who told Tu Junfang about Hu Xiuwu.
After parting in the Northeast, Yuan Tao meditated in a cave in the wild for three whole days in order to eliminate the Tushita fire in his body.
His meditation skills were still not good enough. You know, Yu Baiyuan only spent a few hours of sword meditation to successfully solve the Tushita fire.
In order to eliminate the Tushita Fire Garden, Tao was exhausted and had no way to go to Sijiu City to take revenge on Hu Xiuwu, but he couldn't swallow this humiliation. After thinking about it, he thought of Tu Junfang.
Although Yuan Tao was irritable and easily angered, he had a good vision. He keenly realized that the Tushita Fire was the natural enemy of Tu Junfang's martial arts, so he contacted Tu Junfang through Quanxing's internal information channels and told him about Hu Xiuwu's situation.
As he expected, Tu Junfang showed great interest in Hu Xiuwu.
But Yuan Tao didn't know that Tu Junfang's interest in Hu Xiuwu was not to get rid of his natural enemy before Hu Xiuwu grew up, but for a purpose.
The reason why Tu Junfang took so long to meet Hu Xiuwu was because Yuan Tao himself did not know Hu Xiuwu's identity.
He could only provide Tu Junfang with a portrait, so Tu Junfang had no choice but to sneak into Shangqing Maoshan and look through the directory of Shangqing disciples for clues.
That night, the sound of thunder on Mount Mao was endless, and the flames and strong winds echoed each other.
Before being killed by Shangqing Fuzhuan's saturation attack, Tu Junfang still found Hu Xiuwu's name.
Hu Xiuwu sighed, "Yuan Tao, this fellow! Only a person of Quan Xing can do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit himself."
Large amounts of black Qi, as sticky as mud, gushed out from under Tu Junfang's feet, condensing into a stream that was even darker than the green scales in the tomb of King Xian.
"Yuan Tao was just venting his anger, but he still helped me in the end!"
Tu Junfang touched the black snake's head and looked at Hu Xiuwu enthusiastically:
"Look! Fellow Daoist, ever since I learned of your existence, my greed and obsession have grown day by day. This black snake is the embodiment of my desire!"
Hu Xiuwu took out the Wuzhu sheathed imperial staff knife from his back and asked vigilantly: "What do you want?"
Tu Junfang said: "Daoist friend, we are both people who are walking on the path of beheading the three corpses. Let me see the Wind and Fire Order!"
The black bees that were originally hovering above his head flew towards him with a roar, splitting into two, then four, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a black swarm of bees.
Attack towards Hu Xiuwu.
Chapter 89 Sharpening the Knife
Hu Xiuwu pulled out the Wuzhu Sheathed Imperial Staff Sword from the Ghost Tomb and ignited the Three Corpse Qi at the same time. The violent Three Corpse Qi flowed down his arm and added a layer of blood to the sword body.
Dragon Nest Flash!
He swung the knife like a rainstorm, forming a red knife curtain made of sword energy in front of him, blocking the black bees in front of him.
However, Hu Xiuwu was not satisfied with his swordsmanship. It seemed that he had successfully blocked all the black bees outside himself, but his swings could only achieve four or three out of ten success rates, which was not even half of the success rate.
That is to say, half of his swings were in vain. He had practiced swordsmanship for too short a time and his basic skills were not solid.
He has not yet mastered the Hiten Yujian-ryu's signature sword skill, the swift sword-drawing slash. His sword-drawing slash can only be called sword-drawing, and is far from being worthy of the name of swiftness.
Tu Junfang put his hands in his pockets, looking at the distance, and used his divine power to repel the swarm of bees transformed by the upper corpse Peng Ju. At the same time, he silently figured out the way of Hu Xiuwu's three corpses. After watching for a long time, he said:
"What a fierce Three Corpse Qi, fellow Daoist, it seems that your Wind and Fire Order is not yet fully developed."
In the first half of the sentence he praised the Three Corpses for their ferocity, but in the second half he changed his tone and said that Hu Xiuwu's abilities were not up to par yet.
Hu Xiuwu stood opposite Tu Junfang, stretched his neck, made a few crisp sounds, and then chuckled:
"Oh, you are worthy of being called 'fellow Taoist'. You saw through my true colors the moment we met."
That’s right, Hu Xiuwu’s Wind and Fire Order is indeed not yet fully developed.
The first two of the Seven Killing Orders of Gods and Ghosts are both aimed at tempering the mind, using the three corpses as medicine, and cultivating a golden elixir mind in the Tushita furnace.
