Lin Hui was amazed by his amazing memory and analytical ability: "You, how did you do that?"
"Just get a few more people to help."
Lin Hui: “???”
He was not the head of a region and did not have a hundred years of experience. Naturally, he was not aware of the Huangting Sutra, which no one in the Shangqing sect had practiced for many years, and he did not know its efficacy.
Inside Hu Xiuwu's body, the brain spirit root sits in the Niwan Palace. All the information that Hu Xiuwu sees falls into the Niwan Palace like strands of silk threads, and He organizes these tangled threads and reweaves them into distinct silk threads, and then feeds them back to Hu Xiuwu's soul.
Hu Xiuwu's soul also gives priority to supplying most of its energy and mind to the brain and essence.
His thoughts became faster, and the speed of time flow in Hu Xiuwu's sea of consciousness seemed to have changed as well. The time in Hu Xiuwu's Niwan Palace seemed to have passed a lot faster, as if one day on earth was equal to one year in the palace.
"There's no mistake. He has such extraordinary analytical ability and is so young. Liao Zhong trusts him quite a bit. He must be a temporary worker in South China."
Lin Hui thought to himself, and at the same time felt a little emotional: I thought Wang Zhenqiu was small enough, but I didn’t expect that the temporary workers in South China are younger than him.
After this small episode, Lin Hui plunged into his busy work again. After an unknown amount of time, he took a break to drink a sip of water, while secretly observing Hu Xiuwu's movements.
"what happened?"
Unexpectedly, Hu Xiuwu still maintained his keen senses and was discovered by him with just a quick glance.
Moreover, Hu Xiuwu's eyes were clear, without any trace of trance; his spirit was glittering, without any trace of mental depression. Although he was doing such a complicated task, he still had a clear mind, and even when he was talking to him, he did not stop what he was doing.
On the other hand, Lin Hui himself was still in high spirits, but his eyes were blurry due to overwork, and his speed had slowed down a lot compared to the beginning.
Seeing such a sharp contrast, Lin Hui's competitive spirit suddenly disappeared:
Forget it, forget it, don't compete with monsters, immortals value life, immortals value life. Don't compete with Hu Xiuwu in speed anymore, just go at my own speed.
Chapter 188 A sudden whim
It took a whole day from day to night for Hu Xiuwu and Lin Hui to finally finish reading all the information of the Lions Club and marked all the suspicious places.
It was not until the early morning of the next day that Hu Xiuwu and Lin Hui came out of the archive room after the guard at the door searched them and confirmed that they had no files with them. However, their conditions were completely different.
One was full of energy and showed no sign of tiredness at all, while the other looked listless, with dark eyes and yawning from time to time.
Seeing Lin Hui's tired look, Hu Xiuwu asked him, "Brother Lin, do you want to go eat something first?"
Touching his empty stomach, Lin Hui felt a little hungry.
Staying up late to work is completely different from staying up late to play games. Yiren is also a human being. He will still feel tired after working for a day and a night, and will curse after making reports. Only a cultivator like Hu Xiuwu, who has successfully practiced Qi and has a strong body and soul, can work all night without feeling tired.
Pretending to be rich is never a commendable way of doing things. Only the crying child gets the milk.
Lin Hui has been in Huode Sect for a while and has long understood this truth: "That's great, I feel like I can clean up the cafeteria now."
Hu Xiuwu glanced at the clock in the corridor and said, "It's only five o'clock now. The chef in the cafeteria probably hasn't prepared the meal yet. But you can ask the uncle in charge of logistics for some instant noodles and eggs and cook them for yourself."
Anyway, Hu Xiuwu, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan have all stayed in Huanan for a while. I don't know about other places, but they are definitely familiar with the dining places. In addition, he often chats with Chen Duo, and every time Chen Duo tells them everything that happened in the day, just like writing a diary.
Hu Xiuwu led Lin Hui to the canteen of Huanan Nadutong with ease.
However, to his surprise, the cafeteria, which he had thought would be empty and silent, was now bustling with people. Most of the people who knew all over South China were already eating in the cafeteria.
Pot after pot of hot porridge and noodle soup were simmering on the stove. Once the hot bubbles slowly rose from the bottom of the pot, a burst of fragrance filled the air. The steamers containing clouds and buns were being stared at by several pairs of hungry wolf-like eyes, waiting for the clouds to float out before they could grab them.
There is no friendship in front of dry food.
"Hey, this~"
Liao Zhong waved his chopsticks, motioning Hu Xiuwu and Lin Hui to come over.
There were other Nadutong employees beside him, and Lao Liang was sipping the hot porridge politely beside him.
After Hu Xiuwu and Lin Hui sat down, Liao Zhong pushed a tray of buns on the table towards them:
"I was just about to call you, but I didn't expect you to come by yourselves. Lin Hui, try it, this is our chef's masterpiece. Many people in South China volunteered to stay up late and work overtime just for this bun."
Liao Zhong held chopsticks in one hand and cigarettes in the other, nourishing himself both spiritually and materially. Smoke was all around him, but the smoke he exhaled, abnormally, only surrounded himself, not a single bit of it drifted towards Lao Liang, as if there was a wall of air between the two of them.
Hu Xiuwu took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder, picked up a bun without hesitation, and swallowed it into his mouth in one breath, feeling the soft and glutinous texture of the dough, and the aroma of the meat filling bursting out after the dough was broken.
After a tiring night, this sweet and delicious bun was indeed soothing. Hu Xiuwu took another bun and tasted it carefully before asking vaguely:
"What's going on? Why is dinner served so early today, and so many people are here?"
Liao Zhong took a puff of his cigarette happily. Today, the housekeepers were not here, so no one cared about him smoking. He should enjoy it:
"While you are working, we are not idle either. Lu Jiang confessed last night. He deeply realized his mistake and was eager to redeem himself (not go to the bunker), so he gave up several colleagues he knew."
"In order to prevent those people from escaping and to quickly rescue the children in his hands, everyone was busy all night."
"How is it, did you get anything there?"
Lin Hui was eating quietly at the side, but when he heard Liao Zhong asking about the progress, he quickly swallowed his mouthful of food:
"We have reviewed all the information of the Lions Club over the past few decades and indeed found several suspects whose whereabouts are unknown. Among them, the one that Brother Hu and I are most suspicious of is Wang Wanghu's apprentice Zeng Zijie."
When Lao Liang heard the name, he put down the bowl in his hand and fanned Liao Zhong, causing a breeze to rise and dispel the black smoke around him:
"Wang Wanghu? I remember him. He is a veteran of the Lions Club. He has a unique skill in picking green leaves. No one can match him. He was a prominent figure in the Lions Club 20 years ago."
"But I heard that he was careless in his practice more than ten years ago, and he went astray and lost all his skills. Now he teaches lion dance to apprentices at the Seven Stars Lion Dance Academy."
Liao Zhong exhaled a cigarette and recalled: "I remember that I had been working in South China for several years at that time. The Lions Club handled the matter coldly and did not hold anyone accountable. They also did not report the case to Nadutong, so Nadutong had no reason to investigate and it ended up being left unresolved."
Lin Hui said: "That's right, but his disciple Zeng Zijie disappeared after his cultivation was abolished. Some people in the files suspected that Wang Wanghu's cultivation was abolished and had something to do with him."
"Xiao Lin, go and have a rest first. Look at your red eyes, they are like a rabbit's. I'll ask someone from South China to check it out."
After hearing this, Liao Zhong thought for a while and then said to Lin Hui.
Lin Hui didn't suspect anything, he touched his hair and said, "Well, I really feel that I'm getting old, Brother Hu is still full of energy, I'm really not able to do it anymore."
This is South China's internal affair. Lin Hui thought that Liao Zhong also didn't like people from other regions to interfere in South China's internal affairs. Xu Xiang, who was in charge of North China and also the most senior regional leader, didn't like people from other regions to extend their hands into North China.
As long as there is a case involving North China, Xu Xiang will either solve the case directly or investigate the clues and give them to you directly. In any case, people from other regions are not allowed to come to North China to handle the case.
Of course, some people have objections to such a domineering attitude, but firstly, except for Zhao Fangxu, the board of directors just thought that Xu Xiang didn't like others interfering in his work, and it was not a big deal. Secondly, Xu Xiang had made outstanding contributions, was experienced in doing things, and never made mistakes, so it was difficult for the board of directors to punish him without a reason.
After eating and drinking, Lin Hui went back to take a nap.
Liao Zhong looked at Hu Xiuwu and said, "I have already told everyone else to keep it a secret and not to mention the temporary workers."
Hu Xiuwu poured himself a bowl of soy milk: "Lin Hui does think that I am a temporary worker in South China."
"Okay," Liao Zhong was not afraid of his colleagues in the southwest, he was just worried about that cancer. If he knew that Chen Duo was carrying the Tang Sect's Dan Shi, such an interesting thing, that troublemaker would probably not let go.
"It's just right. Are you tired? If not, after you've eaten, go to Foshan with Duo'er to check on Wang Wanghu and Zeng Zijie."
When Hu Xiuwu heard that he could go out alone with Chen Duo, he became excited as if he had drunk a glass of strong liquor and coffee:
"Of course I'm not tired. You actually want Duoer and I to go out alone."
"Alas, my daughter has grown up. Compared with others, you are still more pleasing to the eye, just a little bit."
Liao Zhong was helpless too. It was fine if he was Hu Xiuwu, but if he was really entangled by Wang Zhenqiu...
Wang Zhenqiu and Chen Duo stood together, that scene...
Liao Zhong couldn't bear the thought of it.
Chapter 189 Seven Star Lion Dance Sports Academy
The masked man is a member of the Lion Club, but this is just a guess without any evidence. Naduotong cannot directly encircle and suppress him like they did to Lu Jiang, as that would change the nature of the matter.
Afterwards, if Nadutong does not give an explanation, it will definitely arouse the resentment of the strange people across the country, and then external forces will definitely take advantage of the situation.
Therefore, we must send a few people to ask questions clearly, and use courtesy before force. Even if we start a war, we must first send the surrender document.
······
Foshan and Huacheng are very close to each other. After breakfast, Hu Xiuwu went to find Chen Duo. Chen Duo had already received instructions from Liao Zhong and was waiting for Hu Xiuwu.
The two of them went together. If they were going to other cities, Liao Zhong would definitely have someone follow them, but they were going to Foshan.
From Huacheng to Foshan, it is even closer than from the Third Ring Road to the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing. You can make a round trip in one morning. I heard that there will be a subway from Huacheng to Foshan in a while.
There was really no need for someone to accompany them. Even ordinary children would go out to play together when they had nothing to do. Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo did not take a common bus, but just booked two bus tickets to Foshan.
On the bus to Foshan, after Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo found their seats, Chen Duo gave the inner seat near the window to Hu Xiuwu. As soon as he sat down, Chen Duo pressed Hu Xiuwu's head on her shoulder and let him lie on her shoulder.
Chen Duo was shorter than Hu Xiuwu, so Hu Xiuwu's head rested on Chen Duo's shoulder and even lower, which was very awkward. Hu Xiuwu moved his sitting position and wanted to raise his head, but was rejected by Chen Duo rudely. Then she hugged him with both hands and patted his back gently as if coaxing a child.
He wanted to break free from Chen Duo's embrace, but Chen Duo was very strong and there were other passengers in the car. Hu Xiuwu couldn't use any extraordinary means, so he could only say speechlessly:
"What are you doing?"
Chen Duo said, "Uncle Liao said you didn't get enough rest yesterday, so I wanted to coax you to sleep. I saw mothers on TV coax their children to sleep this way."
Really? Then did you notice that those kids were not as old as me?
Hu Xiuwu thought with amusement in his mind but did not say it out loud.
Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from behind him and feeling Chen Duo's warm embrace, he was not stupid and should just enjoy Chen Duo's overbearing and stiff care. Anyone who spoke at this time would probably find it difficult to find a partner, so he should consider a blind date.
Since Chen Duo wanted to be close to him, Hu Xiuwu was naturally willing. He continued to lie down and lay on Chen Duo's thighs, enjoying Chen Duo's knees resting on him. He slowly closed his eyes and fell into the gentle land of Chen Duo.
Chen Duo was a little at a loss. She had never learned this posture before. Where should she put her hands?
With Chen Duo by his side, Hu Xiuwu fell into a deep sleep with peace of mind.
When he opened his eyes again, they had arrived at their destination and it seemed as if two hours had passed.
After sleeping soundly for an hour, Hu Xiuwu, who was not very tired to begin with, was revived to full health. He led Chen Duo out of the car and found a taxi at random.
"Seven Star Lion Dance Sports School."
As soon as he heard the name, the driver knew what the place was and stepped on the accelerator to leave the station.
Due to the particularity of their martial arts, the Lions Club's headquarters is different from other strange sects. It is not located in a quiet, remote mountain forest. Instead, like an ordinary martial arts school, it is hidden in a busy city. Like the Tang Sect, it also founded a sports school.
The Chih-Sing Lion Dance Sports School is also very famous locally. Like a normal school, in addition to its signature lion dance courses, it also teaches formal track and field events, and has its own special courses, Cai Li Fot and Hung Gar.
There are many horse stance movements in the lion dance. One must have some kung fu skills to be able to carry a lion head weighing more than ten kilograms, jump over the plum blossom pole, and raise his head to pick green leaves.
So after the Shaolin Temple movie became popular, the school also separated the basic boxing techniques from the lion dance and taught fitness moves without the Qigong method.
The magic power of the Lion Club's transformation into the mythical beast, the Lucky Lion, is quite powerful. Plus, the sports school only teaches physical training moves and some steps to coordinate with the lion dance, so the real stuff hasn't been leaked. Therefore, Cailifo and the people from the Hung Gar Martial Arts School didn't cause trouble for the Lion Club.
At the same time, just like the Tang Clan's sports school, it recruits students widely while secretly selecting true successors.
