"I see."

Hu Xiuwu thought for a moment. This description sounded very similar to the image of the masked man they imagined.

"Then do you know where Zeng Zijie went later?"

Wang Wanghu recalled for a while and said uncertainly: "He once sent me a letter, and the postmark was from De County, Mengna City."

Mengna? Isn't that a city near the border of Yunnan Province? I remember that city is further south than the Lancang River where the Worm Valley is located. It should have been connected to other countries.

Hu Xiuwu recalled the map he studied with Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang, and Liao Zhong in order to present the tribute to the king's tomb, and remembered Meng Na's location.

"I know, thank you for your help. We'll leave now." Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo prepared to leave.

"Wait," Huang Yuanbiao stopped Hu Xiuwu, "You asked us so many questions, can I know what happened to Zeng Zijie?"

"He may have made a mistake," Hu Xiuwu said without mentioning the Liangshan incident, "but it's not certain yet whether it was him, so I can't tell the truth."

"The consistent style that goes everywhere."

Huang Yuanbiao was very unhappy with Hu Xiuwu's secretive attitude. Staring at Hu Xiuwu, who had been in a high position for many years and danced like a majestic lion, Huang Yuanbiao had long developed the aura of a dignified and aggressive predator.

Staring into his eyes was like confronting the king of beasts, which made people shudder. Few people in the Seven Stars Sports School could look into his eyes without being afraid.

But Hu Xiuwu still looked straight ahead and maintained a smiling expression. Even Chen Duo did not show much emotion. His eyes were like a calm lake. No matter how scorching the sunlight was, it could not shake it in the slightest.

She was the one who truly did not take Huang Yuanbiao seriously. Even if Hu Xiuwu asked her to take action now, she would not hesitate at all.

"Forget it, you guys go." Huang Yuanbiao suddenly felt a little bored. He looked at the disciples of other families, and then at the performance of his own naughty kids just now.

One more hour of practice is still not enough.

The four of them went down the mountain together. When they reached the valley, Hu Xiuwu suddenly asked Wang Wanghu a question: "Senior Wang, is it because of Zeng Zijie that you lost all your power?"

Wang Wanghu was stunned for a moment: "Ajie, he..."

Huang Yuanbiao interrupted Wang Wanghu and said, "This is our Lions Club's family affair. If you must know, please ask Mr. Liao to come here in person."

Chapter 193 Yunnan Province Border

The words were very impolite. After they got down the mountain, Huang Yuanbiao even asked Chang Weidong to see Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo out of the Seven Star Martial Arts School.

After leaving the martial arts school, it was still early and there was no need to rush back. After Hu Xiuwu reported to Liao Zhong what he had learned from the Lions Club, he planned to take Chen Duo to try Foshan's special snacks and have a good stroll in Foshan before going back.

His purpose of coming to South China was not to work for Liao Zhong during the summer vacation.

The shadows of green willows and flowers form pairs, and the clear waters are slightly rippled by thousands of lights;

Kuixing looks at the moon and thinks of his beloved. Where can he find you again in the future?

Amid the multi-story buildings of Chancheng, there is a park with lush greenery and rippling blue waters. The park is crisscrossed with lakes and rivers like a chessboard. There are also quaint square tea pavilions with transparent windows on all sides dotted on the lake for people to rest.

In the cold and hurried concrete jungle, such a park appears to be full of vitality and tenderness, giving people a rare opportunity to breathe. Moreover, as long as you rent a small boat, you can let the boat float into the lake and enjoy some alone time for two people. Therefore, after the park was built, it became a dating place for many couples.

This park is called Qiandeng Lake. After night falls, the thousands of lights in the water and the stars in the sky shine together, making it difficult to tell whether the stars are falling or we are flying to the moon palace. It is both interesting and romantic.

It was Wang Kaixuan who told him about this dating place. Hu Xiuwu left home at the age of four, but Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi both grew up in South China.

After Hu Bayi joined the army, Wang Kaixuan lost his childhood friend and first spent some time alone in his hometown, but when he didn't make much of a name for himself, he went to Beijing to work as a migrant worker.

He knew a lot of fun places in South China, and he often invited girls to come here to play.

Hu Xiuwu carried large and small bags of food, all of which were delicious, such as the tender and sweet Daliang fried milk, the fragrant and sweet Xiqiao pancakes. He then rented a small boat, and then a small boat, and went boating on the river with Chen Duo, enjoying the wonderful time together.

A beautiful woman by your side, beautiful scenery nearby, and delicious food in your stomach, this is Hu Xiuwu's purpose in coming to South China.

After enjoying a moment of peace and leisure with Chen Duo, Liao Zhong's disturbing phone rang again, urging Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo to go back quickly.

Even though there was Wang Zhenqiu as a 'golden treasure in front of him', Liao Zhong's feelings towards Hu Xiuwu had changed greatly, but he was still worried about Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo being alone together for too long.

Especially after knowing that Hu Xiuwu was not simple.

Hu Xiuwu hung up Liao Zhong's phone call in frustration and said to Chen Duo helplessly, "It seems that the plan to see the night view of Qiandeng Lake at night cannot be implemented. Uncle Liao asked us to go back as soon as possible. The southwest has already taken action."

"After our news was passed on, the temporary workers in Southwest China conducted an investigation. It seems that he was originally near Yunnan Province. He will go to Mengna tonight and cooperate with the Southwest Nadutong employees to arrest Zeng Zijie."

It wasn't that we couldn't find the masked man before, it was just that we didn't know his identity or his true appearance. Now that we have a suspect, with our ability to go everywhere and knowing the exact location, finding him is naturally a piece of cake.

Speaking of this, Chen Duo asked Hu Xiuwu: "Why didn't you use the Three Corpse Qi to detect Wang Wanghu to see if he was telling the truth?"

Hu Xiuwu leaned back in his seat and took out a piece of "Blind Man's Cake" from his bag. It looked like a mung bean cake and was shaped like a moon cake. He broke it into two halves, put one half into his mouth, and fed the other half to Chen Duo.

After swallowing the sweet and soft blind man's cake in his mouth, Hu Xiuwu said slowly:

"Wang Wanghu and Huang Yuanbiao are both veterans. I may be able to hide my little trick from Chang Weidong, but don't expect Huang Yuanbiao to find out."

Chen Duo asked, "But why did you and Uncle Liao believe Wang Wanghu's words? The person they wanted to capture was his disciple, and it seemed that he had a good relationship with Zeng Zijie."

"If they really have a good relationship, they wouldn't tell us Zeng Zijie's whereabouts so straightforwardly,"

Hu Xiuwu said, "It's easy to verify whether his words are true or false, and the Lions Club President Huang Yuanbiao is listening nearby. If Wang Wanghu deceives us in front of Huang Yuanbiao, it will cause trouble for the Lions Club."

"When the time comes, the first person who won't let him go will probably be Huang Yuanbiao."

"However," Hu Xiuwu took a sip of the drink to moisten his throat, and then continued, "Huang Yuanbiao's attitude is indeed strange. Why did he stop Wang Wanghu from speaking out about the matter between Wang Wanghu and Zeng Zijie, or is there another reason why Wang Wanghu's cultivation was completely destroyed?"

"I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out. It depends on whether the southwest can catch Zeng Zijie."

······

"My fellow villager, do you know a man named Zeng Zijie?"

"How dare you call the god by his name? He is the patron saint of Gajia Village, the one who terrifies all beasts, drives away evil spirits, and slays demons."

"It's Zeng Zijie who was born in Chancheng, it's Zeng Zijie who likes to drink and smoke, it's Zeng Zijie who is independent."

"..."

Grandpa, I see you call his name very happily.

The person asking the question had a charming appearance and a slender figure, with long light yellow hair that reached her waist. She wore hot pants and a short-sleeved shirt, revealing her long legs. She looked like a hot girl, especially the teardrop mole under the corner of her eye, which made her look even more charming.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the clear and distinct boyish voice made his identity clear.

A temporary worker in the southwest, Wang Zhenqiu.

After receiving Hao Yi's call, Wang Zhenqiu let Xia Liuqing go and made a deal with him. He exchanged Xia Liuqing's unique skill, the divine mask, for his love skills with both men and women over the years and his promise not to bother him anymore.

After obtaining the divine mask, he, like Hu Xiuwu, discovered the uniqueness and incredibleness of the masked man's Shinto magic, so when Hao Yi informed him that Zeng Zijie, who was suspected to be the masked man, was whereabouts, he rushed to Mengna.

How could he not be active in such an interesting matter?

After some effort in De County and asking for help from friends on the road, Wang Zhenqiu found some traces of Zeng Zijie.

According to a "friend", in recent years in the countryside of De County, especially in the remote mountain villages, there have been people who look very similar to the photo of Zeng Zijie when he was young in Wang Zhen's ball hand.

Because he was born in a small village, he discovered this situation when he returned home by chance.

It's just that because this place is remote, he didn't use it to make money, and he was very careful not to enter the city. He didn't do anything that would anger God or people, so it hasn't attracted the attention of the police yet.

Wang Zhenqiu became very interested in this. Since this group of people only spread the news in the most remote mountain villages, Wang Zhenqiu found the most remote mountain village, Gajia Village, from the county records and planned to go there to find out.

Gajia Village is located on the top of a high mountain. There is only one mountain road carved out of the cliffs to access the village. A hundred years ago, the villagers moved to this remote place to escape the war.

The only way to get into the village is to climb over the cliff. Not to mention cars, even people can only climb in.

Although Gajia Village has achieved peace and tranquility and its people are self-sufficient, it is also out of touch with the world. There are not even any electrical appliances in the village.

As soon as Wang Zhenqiu entered the village, he asked an old man who was enjoying the cool air at home the above question, and he ended up saying the above words with an enthusiastic look on his face.

Wang Zhenqiu had a smile on his face, which made him look even more charming and beautiful:

Interesting, Zeng Zijie is quite courageous.

Chapter 194 Gods and Gods

But how many people can there be in such a small mountain village? There are only dozens of households in Gajia Village, and no more than a hundred people. Even if he found ten such villages, he could only bewitch a thousand people at most, or maybe even less. This scale can at most support the belief in a land god, which is inconsistent with the strength shown to him.

Wang Zhenqiu suspected that this might not be the main source of Zeng Zijie's faith, he must have other plans. Wang Zhenqiu wanted to ask other things, but the old man who was enjoying the cool breeze who talked to him first looked at him in disbelief, then knelt down in front of Wang Zhenqiu with a very skilled posture, touching the ground with his forehead, trembling, and still repeating the words just now.

Wang Zhenqiu immediately became alert and his whole body tensed up. The old man who was enjoying the cool air kneeled on the ground so devoutly, but it must not be him who was kneeling. He did not have the charm that would make people worship him as a god as soon as they met him.

The person who is revered as a god by the Gajia Village is Zeng Zijie.

What also surprised Wang Zhenqiu was Zeng Zijie's strength. Although he was young and had learned a lot of skills, which were disorganized, he had been in the world of strange people for many years and was doing all kinds of dirty work. In terms of strength and vision, he was first-class in the world. Anyone who could get close to him should not be underestimated.

"You are a man who knows everything."

A low, muffled voice suddenly came from behind Wang Zhenqiu. Although it was a question, the tone was very firm. The person who spoke seemed to have determined that Wang Zhenqiu was an employee of Nadoutong.

Wang Zhenqiu was not too panicked. He had encountered many dangerous situations over the years, and most of them were caused by himself, so he had a good mentality. He turned around slowly to avoid alerting the person standing behind him.

Just as Wang Zhenqiu thought, behind him was a masked man who looked like the Sanxingdui statue reborn. He stood ten steps away from Wang Zhenqiu, wrapped tightly from head to toe. His two high protruding eye pillars stared at him indifferently and ruthlessly, just like the cold bronze material they were made of.

First, he gently knocked out the old man beside him to prevent him from hearing things he shouldn't hear. Then Wang Zhenqiu smiled frivolously and used the appearance of a bohemian playboy to hide his true thoughts:

"You are actually here to spread the faith for yourself, do you want to become a god, Zeng Zijie?"

"You shouldn't be here."

Without responding to Wang Zhen's attempt, the masked man continued speaking in his emotionless voice.

But Wang Zhenqiu seemed to be unable to see the current situation and continued to joke:

"I'm just here for tourism. The scenery here is beautiful. There are no people within a ten-mile radius. It still retains the original style of Yunnan Province. It's very suitable for tourism. Listen, there are people in the mountain village over there chanting some poems loudly."

"It seems to be called some god Zeng Zijie."

"You know, the local customs and scenery here remind me of an old thing."

"The past of Bai Lian," when he said this, Wang Zhenqiu finally put away the smile on his face and said in a slightly serious tone,

"Did the White Lotus Sect back then also fool the people like you did, causing them to neglect farming, skip meals, and just chant scriptures and spread your name every day?"

The masked man said murderously: "You are right, this place is indeed beautiful and very suitable for burying people."

Wang Zhenqiu laughed and said, "It's hard to say who will be buried."

The masked man, or Zeng Zijie, was not a person who liked to show off his tongue. He just raised his right hand horizontally, and the yellow cong on his waist emitted a faint light and swayed without wind.

On Zeng Zijie's right hand side, the earth was wriggling upwards, like a spring, and climbing up like bamboo shoots in spring, until it turned into a stone pillar slightly higher than Zeng Zijie's head, with a black glow on the surface, as if it were made of obsidian.

Zeng Zijie grasped the stone pillar on his right hand and lifted it upwards. The connection between the stone pillar and the ground was violently broken, forming a sharp fracture at the connection of the stone pillar, like an alien gun tip, turning the stick into a spear.

Afterwards, Zeng Zijie quickly approached Wang Zhen's ball with a gun in hand. The debris on the ground did not hinder him. He just slid towards Wang Zhen's ball lightly with just a slight effort of his feet, as if he was on a smooth ice rink.
