Early the next morning, Hu Bayi came alone, facing Hu Xiuwu's teasing eyes, and went to Hu Xiuwu to get the things he had taken down yesterday.
After Xue Li Yang was fully awake this morning, she felt embarrassed and scratched her feet every time she thought about how she had seduced Hu Bayi in front of Hu Xiuwu last night while she was confused. She didn't dare to appear in front of Hu Xiuwu for the time being.
What a shame!
Hu Bayi actually felt the same way, but he was somewhat thicker-skinned and could still have a normal conversation with Hu Xiuwu.
But after a long time, he felt uncomfortable all over. After getting the Fengyun package, he was about to leave. Even when Hu's mother called him in the kitchen to finish his meal before leaving, he did not stay. He made an excuse that he was in a hurry to go to work and left in a hurry.
Mother Hu looked puzzled and said, "Strange, this brat always left after dinner in the past, why is he in such a hurry today?"
Hu Xiuwu took his time to taste the soup cooked by his mother, and said leisurely, "Maybe he is missing his wife."
"Nonsense," Mother Hu looked at Hu Xiuwu with amusement. Although she felt that what Hu Xiuwu said made sense, she did not agree with him: "What do you know, you little man? Eat your meal quickly and go to school after you finish eating. You have missed several days of classes."
"Yes Yes Yes,"
······
"It's over. It's finally over."
As the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Xiaotian handed in his test paper quickly, like a prisoner who had been detained for a long time and was finally released. Then he couldn't wait to leave the examination room and shouted loudly on the playground to vent his emotions.
"What's the big deal? It's just a final exam."
Jin Yuanyuan staggered out of the examination room, and said speechlessly when she saw Xiaotian so excited.
Xiaotian looked at Jin Yuanyuan with envy: "You are so easy to talk when you are standing. You can do whatever you want because you have good grades. Can you understand my pain when I stare at the test paper in a daze and I want to understand it, but it ignores me?"
Jin Yuanyuan teased: "Aren't you quite cultured?"
"You still say that," Xiaotian looked at her with resentment, imagining the seven wolves in his father's hands, and his heart was dead.
Just when Xiaotian was feeling desperate, he saw Wang Ye, Hu Xiuwu and Liu Muzhi coming out talking and laughing. Seeing their relaxed expressions, he knew that the three of them must have done well in the exam.
Xiaotian was filled with envy and indignation. He threw himself on Liu Muzhi's sturdy back and wailed:
"Da Liu! Why weren't you in the same examination room with me this time? Why did you leave me?"
The students passing by looked over here in surprise, thinking that something had happened in Xiaotian's family.
Liu Muzhi had good grades and a kind heart. Every time Xiaotian was assigned to the same examination room as him, he would run to him the day before and cry to him about how powerful his father's filial piety whip technique was.
In his words, his father was a cruel official who specialized in whipping people, and could injure the skin without breaking bones, and leave no marks without causing severe pain. He could whip ninety-nine times, and only one of them would result in a minor injury.
Although Liu Muzhi knew that Xiaotian was exaggerating and always told him not to do it again and to study hard, he always softened his heart and agreed to help Xiaotian after his repeated pleas.
As a second-generation rich man, Xiaotian always had difficulties in every exam, but he always adhered to the bottom line. He never used money inducement or violence to get Liu Muzhi's help. He just acted cute and coquettish towards him. This was the reason why he could maintain a friendship with Liu Muzhi.
Otherwise, a top student like Liu Muzhi who studies hard would not make friends with such a lazy and last-minute student.
Wang also doesn't like socializing and prefers to study in seclusion, but he doesn't want his parents and teachers to worry about him and think he is a loner, so he needs a few good friends who can get along with him to prove that there is nothing wrong with him mentally.
Xiaotian, Jin Yuanyuan, and Liu Muzhi are all friends carefully selected by Wang Ye from his surroundings, so their moral characters are naturally impeccable.
As for Xiaotian, why not ask Jin Yuanyuan, Wang Ye and Hu Xiuwu for help who also have good grades.
According to his observation, Hu Xiuwu did not seem to be very serious in class this semester, and he often went out to play with him. He did not quite believe in Hu Xiuwu's level.
Although Wang Ye is usually very casual and free-spirited when he is with them, like a good man with no temper, Xiaotian knows that Wang Ye is actually more principled. Liu Muzhi is soft-hearted and will not tolerate hard tactics, but Wang Ye is not soft-hearted and will not help him cheat at all.
As for Jin Yuanyuan, he was the kind of person who wanted to move a stool and sit at the door of Xiaotian's house, eating melon seeds, watching Xiaotian being beaten by his father, and clapping his hands in approval. How could he possibly help him?
And once Liu Muzhi is unable to help Xiaotian, Xiaotian will cry to Liu Muzhi like he is doing now, trying to gain sympathy. Liu Muzhi has become accustomed to it.
"Okay, okay, just do your best next time. Come to me next time to review, don't do it at the last minute."
Liu Muzhi stroked Xiaotian's head as if he was stroking his own kitten, and his tone was like that of a kind-hearted older brother who had no idea what to do with his naughty brother.
Jin Yuanyuan dragged Xiaotian off Liu Muzhi's body with disdain: "Okay, stop lying on Brother Muzhi's body. Get off quickly. It's too embarrassing."
After being dragged down by Jin Yuanyuan, Xiaotian still looked indignant: "Damn it, you and Xiuwu are the most despicable. Wang Ye and Mu Zhige are at least good students who read books every day."
"You two usually hang out with me, so how come you can be so relaxed during the exam?"
Jin, the math prodigy, Yuanyuan, smiled without saying anything. She could tell the answers to the science test with just a glance.
Hu Xiuwu put it more simply: "I am a genius."
There is a biological computer in the brain, and it speaks with authority.
Xiaotian looked at these two Versailles masters with envy and jealousy, drooling: "Hurry up, the exam is finally over, let's go have a meal, you two will treat us!"
"You only know how to eat," Jin Yuanyuan said to Xiaotian, then looked at Liu Muzhi and Wang Ye, "The holiday is coming soon, Brother Muzhi, do you have any plans?"
Before Liu Muzhi could answer, Xiaotian said weakly, "What else can I do? I'm going to Suzhou and Hangzhou to take shelter at my grandfather's house before the results come out. I'll come back after the storm has passed."
Liu Muzhi smiled innocently: "I don't have any plans, I'm just studying at home."
"So monotonous," Jin Yuanyuan then asked Wang Ye: "What about you, Xiaoye?"
"Me?" Wang Ye hesitated for a moment, "If my parents agree, I will probably go to Wudang Mountain again."
It has not been long since Wang Ye comprehended the sense of Qi, and he has not even mastered Tai Chi yet. Naturally, he needs to go back to Wudang and seek help from his master Taoist Yunlong to consolidate his knowledge.
Xiaotian said disdainfully: "You are even more boring than Brother Muzhi. What's so good about a place like a Taoist temple? The signal is not good, you can't play games, and there are no delicious foods."
Hu Xiuwu Bang Wang also said: "The mountain is quiet and peaceful. Although there are not many pleasures in the world, there are not many troubles either. It is peaceful and comfortable."
A group of junior high school students, who are full of energy and carefree, naturally don’t understand what’s good about quietness. Wouldn’t it be more fun to have fun with a group of friends?
"No way," Xiaotian looked at Hu Xiuwu in astonishment, "You're not going into the mountains too, are you?"
"That's not the case," Hu Xiuwu said with a smile, holding a jade fish pendant strung with red thread.
"I have made an appointment with someone to go see her, and I can't break it."
After returning home, Hu Xiuwu packed his bags, picked up gifts, and told his parents that he and his classmates would travel to South China to see the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland. At the same time, he told Hu Bayi that he wanted to go to South China to practice, which received a half-smile and a chuckle from Hu Bayi, who seemed to see through everything.
Chapter 179: Dragon Shadow Under the Moon
Monster, monster!
That little girl is a monster!
The sorcerer Lu Jiang no longer looked the cold-blooded, mysterious, powerful and dignified master he used to be. Instead, he looked like a lost dog, terrified and uneasy. At the slightest sign of trouble, he would become like a frightened bird, with a tense face, looking around in anxiety.
Lu Jiang's originally valuable, custom-made loose-fitting Tang suit was now stained black with blood and covered with mud and filth. The branches almost tore the clothes into a cloak.
With his current appearance of a homeless beggar, I'm afraid that those wealthy businessmen in Huacheng who had paid him huge sums of money in the hope of getting his guidance would not be able to recognize him.
"Wang Wu, this bastard, jerk, and son of a bitch, actually dared to work with Nadutong to set a trap for me."
Under the moonlight, Lu Jiang kept cursing a man named Wang Wu as he limped through the dense forest, hiding his tracks in order to avoid being hunted down by Naduotong.
As a sorcerer, he has a great demand for living souls, but resentful souls are not easy to find. Usually he can only rely on himself and cooperate with some human traffickers to kidnap children, torture them to death, and make them into Kumantong, also commonly known as little ghosts.
Today, Wang Wu, with whom he had cooperated many times, called and said that a batch of good goods had arrived. Lu Jiang did not doubt it, so he took several of his disciples, drove a truck that had been prepared long ago, and his beloved luxury SUV, and rushed to Wang Wu's stronghold in the barren mountains.
But what he didn't know was that this was actually a trap set by Nadutong.
Liao Zhong never gave up. In his pursuit of the Yaoyaoxianhui's child trafficking channels, people from South China found Wang Wu a few days ago and arrested him easily. Wang Wu told Liao Zhong everything before he could use half of his tricks, fearing that if he spoke too slowly, he would anger Liao Zhong and use the remaining half of his tricks on him.
Among the clues revealed by Wang Wu, there is the deeply hidden Lu Jiang. Lu Jiang is very smart and relies on special skills to make money, but he is very low-key and never publicizes his name. Not many people in Huacheng know him, and they are all wealthy businessmen in Huacheng.
He specifically looked for wealthy merchants who had only a vague understanding of the alien world, and used his magic to make them believe in him, but he never used real things to help them. Instead, he used some Jianghu routines and ambiguous judgments to fool them.
Lu Jiang's approach could be described as a PPT scam, so when Nadutong investigated him for the first time, they were really fooled. They thought he was just a half-baked alien, a real liar. After handing his information to the police, they didn't pay much attention to him.
Unexpectedly, he dared to engage in child trafficking in private, which was a red line that could be crossed anywhere.
After handing over all the clues in Wang Wu's confession that did not involve strange people to the police, the remaining Lu Jiang, the cancer hidden in Huacheng, was personally handled by Nadutong.
In order to prevent Lu Jiang from becoming desperate and affecting social order and the normal life of Huacheng residents, Liao Zhong asked Wang Wu to call Lu Jiang and lure this dangerous person out of the city.
What Nadutong didn't expect was that, perhaps because Lu Jiang had done too many bad things or was just too cautious, when the people from Nadutong saw the headlights of Lu Jiang's luxury SUV, they found that the headlights were extremely hurried and panicked, and turned 180 degrees.
Before Lu Jiang even entered the encirclement, he panicked and wanted to run away!
Nadutong had no choice but to change the plan, take action in advance and intercept them.
Whenever he recalled the previous situation, Lu Jiang still felt an unbearable fear in his heart. The scene of that encounter kept repeating in his mind uncontrollably.
In the team that goes everywhere, there is an exquisitely beautiful girl who should only appear in the paintings of the painter. Like a fairy in the painting, she splashes ink all around, turning her surroundings into a landscape painting with a profound artistic conception.
But Lu Jiang watched helplessly as his disciples were drawn into the freehand landscape painting.
Ice cracks began to appear on his body little by little, like mottled wounds cut by the passing of time on an ancient painting, and then there were wails of extreme pain.
The freehand beautiful scene was peeled off, revealing the boundless hell underneath. His disciples were enjoying the torture of hell.
Bang bang,
Lu Jiang slapped himself twice to stop himself from having any wild thoughts. If he fell into endless fear, it would be of no use to his escape.
In order to avoid being discovered, Wang Wu's small base was located deep in the mountains, and it took several hours to drive to the nearest village. Not to mention that in order to escape, Lu Jiang's right leg was shot by a flying blade, and he walked for half a day but could not get out of the mountains.
Suddenly, in the dark and deep forest behind Lu Jiang, a group of birds were startled and danced wildly among the treetops.
Lu Jiang's face suddenly changed, and he no longer cared about the taboos of black magic. He drove out his only remaining Kumantong, wanting him to carry him and quickly get away from the deadly threat behind.
The Kumantong floated out from Lu Jiang's pendant. This Kumantong looked like a newborn dead baby, with purple skin and only the size of an adult cat, but he was ultimately a ghost created by evil magic.
He did not obey Lu Jiang's order at the first time. Instead, he floated in the air coldly, staring at Lu Jiang with eyes full of resentment, as if examining his situation.
Seeing that he seemed to be seriously injured, the Kumantong's eyes gradually became ferocious, and he bared his teeth.
Lu Jiang is not stupid. He had not summoned the Kumantong before because he was afraid of this kind of thing. These resentful souls who died in torture are more powerful than ordinary ghosts, but once the holder is in the wrong situation, there is also the risk of backlash.
Pulling out the leather belt engraved with scriptures from his waist, Lu Jiang swung the belt and whipped the Kumantong violently, releasing his fear on him:
"You bastard! Do you think you can resist me? How dare you disobey my orders!"
Hey!
The Kumantong howled in pain. The leather belt was covered with scriptures written in cinnabar, and hitting him was like a hot iron. When it hit him, it made a crackling sound like the iron touching ice.
Seeing that Lu Jiang was still as fierce and vicious as ever, Gumantong's past fear of Lu Jiang once again occupied his heart, and he timidly carried Lu Jiang on his back.
The Kumantong whipped up gusts of cold wind and carried him towards the densely populated direction at a speed no less than a cheetah charging at full speed. Lu Jiang knew very well that he would not be able to escape the pursuers behind him if he relied on the Kumantong alone.
But if he could enter densely populated cities and towns and take ordinary people as hostages, he would be able to make these Nadoutong who were trying to get him have some reservations, and he would be able to take advantage of the situation and escape.
Relying on the power of the Kumantong, Lu Jiang quickly arrived at the path where people often appeared. Following the path, Lu Jiang saw square, well-arranged, and thriving paddy fields.
Lu Jiang's face lit up with joy. The presence of paddy fields meant there was a village nearby, and the presence of a village meant there were ready-made hostages.
