My goodness, it looks like the master is serious about this.
Now even Bi Youlong became somewhat interested, but seeing that the Heavenly Master had rejected even his own closed disciple's request to watch, he tactfully did not ask any questions.
Hu Xiuwu followed Zhang Zhiwei all the way to a secluded and quiet place far away from Hogwarts Castle and the Forbidden Forest.
zizi~
Thousands of electric arcs chirped around Zhang Zhiwei like little birds, and then a domineering aura burst out from the Heavenly Master, rushing up into the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds and changing color.
In an instant, black clouds appeared above the sky like a big river, impenetrable; thunder roared like a war drum.
Hu Xiuwu could still feel a slight chill on his face.
It started to rain lightly.
Hu Xiuwu's heart was as cold as the weather and the edge of the sword in his hand.
The Heavenly Master is serious now!
It’s not worth it!!
This is called a test!!!
Did I offend the Heavenly Master at some point?
Hu Xiuwu was extremely nervous, his brain was working frantically. He didn't know why the Heavenly Master would make such a big fuss against a junior like him. He even secretly connected with Luo Fengtian, ready to hide inside Luo Fengtian immediately if anything went wrong.
The drizzle was like fog, covering the surroundings. Some people came quietly and left quietly, while others looked at the scene here in amazement and mourned for Hu Xiuwu in their hearts.
Only Hu Xiuwu and Zhang Zhiwei were left in the rain.
His hair stood on end with rage, looking as chilling as an abyss. Zhang Zhiwei, who had been suppressing his tension, suddenly retracted his aura and turned into a peaceful Taoist, letting the drizzle hit his Taoist robe.
Zhang Zhiwei looked at Hu Xiuwu calmly: "I thought you were only related to Shangqing, but I didn't know when you joined Longhu Mountain."
Hu Xiuwu was awed, but still pretended to be confused and said, "What do you mean, Master? I am a disciple of Zhengyi who commands the prestige of the Zhengyi League."
Zhang Zhiwei looked at Hu Xiuwu, his eyes seemed to see through him: "Little rascal, although I am over a hundred years old, I am not old and blind yet."
"I can still recognize the magic of Longhu Mountain. Your Golden Light Curse cannot be hidden from me."
Hu Xiuwu lowered his head and remained silent. His brain was working rapidly, looking for an excuse to break the impasse, while he sighed inwardly.
Sure enough, the secret was revealed in the Black Lake incident.
The giant octopus in the Black Lake gave Hu Xiuwu a very strong sense of oppression. In order to escape from its tentacles, Hu Xiuwu used all his skills and used the strongest sword move he currently mastered, the Jade Dragon Chant, to break through the deathly entanglement of the giant octopus.
However, he had not yet mastered the Jade Dragon Chant very well, and needed the help of golden light as his bones so that it could gather and condense into a sword-qi dragon on the surface of his body.
Others could see it, but it couldn't be hidden from Zhang Zhiwei's eyes. The Heavenly Master had been practicing the Golden Light Mantra for almost a century, and no one in the world was more familiar with the Golden Light Mantra than him.
But Zhang Zhiwei knew very well where he learned the Golden Light Mantra. After all, in the past hundred years, there was only one disciple from the Tianshi Mansion who was wandering outside.
Zhang Zhiwei sighed: "Don't think of excuses to evade me. My junior brother is fine."
Since the Heavenly Master said so, Hu Xiuwu would not pretend to be confused anymore. If he pretended to be confused, he would be treating the Heavenly Master as a fool. Those who treat the Heavenly Master as a fool are truly foolish.
Hu Xiuwu whispered, "Teacher Zhang Huaiyi has passed away. He is in the Eight Immortals Mountain in Tianjin."
"Tianjin?" Zhang Zhiwei murmured, thinking of a past event, "Ten years ago, many strange people and sects in Tianjin died of illness, but the sects kept it a secret. Could it be..."
Hu Xiuwu replied: "Yes, it was done by Teacher Zhang Huaiyi, back then..."
In the drizzle that seemed like it happened ten years ago, Hu Xiuwu recounted the past events.
Chapter 279 Endorsement
After listening to Hu Xiuwu's story, Zhang Zhiwei felt very sad about his junior fellow apprentice's experience and sighed: "Huaiyi kept it a secret for his whole life, was stubborn all his life, and was still plotting at the last minute. He has never had a few days of peace in his life."
"One wrong step, all wrong. If I had found him back then, this wouldn't have happened."
Hu Xiuwu whispered, "Master said that even if you found him back then, he would not go back with you."
"He did something wrong and let down Longhu Mountain. He must not let Senior Zhang Jingqing get involved again."
Zhang Jingqing is the master of Zhang Huaiyi and Zhang Zhiwei, and also the 64th Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu.
At that time, the entire supernatural world in the country was swept by a trend of clearing out the thirty-six thieves, especially when it was learned that eight of them mastered incredible skills, the trend became increasingly intense.
If it were a peaceful time, as long as Zhang Huaiyi returned to the mountain, Zhang Jingqing would naturally be able to protect him.
With Zhang Jingqing and Zhang Zhiwei, and if there is also Zhang Huaiyi, who would dare to come to Longhu Mountain to ask for people?
However, the situation at that time was special. It was a time of chaos and foreign invasion. Zhang Jingqing was planning to promote the formation of a line of cooperation among the domestic alien world to fight against foreign enemies.
As the initiator, it is impossible for Zhang Jingqing to confront the various forces in the alien world because of his disciple's fault, causing internal divisions and damaging his own combat effectiveness.
But Zhang Jingqing is also well-known for being protective of his own disciples. He will not leave his disciples alone. If he wants to protect Zhang Huaiyi and avoid causing internal strife in the domestic supernatural world, he has to give an explanation to the other forces.
He used the Heavenly Master's degree to make Zhang Huaiyi the new Heavenly Master. He used the Heavenly Master's degree to silence Zhang Huaiyi and gave an explanation to the others with his own life.
The alien world is making a big fuss to hunt down the Thirty-Six Thieves of Jiashen. On the surface, it is using the excuse of making friends with the bandits, but secretly it is just to covet the pinnacle of the Eight Great Skills.
As long as Zhang Huaiyi becomes the Heavenly Master and swears to sever ties with Wu Gensheng, then other people will have no excuse to say anything.
If there are still people with selfish motives who come to Longhu Mountain to cause trouble,
The Five Thunders Method of the Tianshi Mansion can not only subdue demons, but is also better at warding off evil and killing enemies!
The Five Pecks of Rice Sect gained its reputation through hard work.
After understanding the cause and effect, Zhang Zhiwei also clarified his previous confusion: "No wonder Yang Ming would let you, a disciple who has learned the Seven Killing Orders of Gods and Ghosts, go down the mountain. Even if some classics of Shangqing have been lost, a disciple who can successfully practice the lost skills should not be given up easily."
After saying this, Zhang Zhiwei didn't say any more. If he continued, he would trigger the Heavenly Master's Degree.
Hu Xiuwu pretended not to understand what Zhang Zhiwei meant. "Master is also thinking about Shangqing. Teacher Huaiyi only showed up once, and the black and white people in Tianjin heard the news and moved. If I go back to Shangqing, it will definitely disturb the peace of Shangqing."
Sanshi Tu Junfang just heard the news about Hu Xiuwu, but he dared to risk his life to sneak into Maoshan and check the list of Maoshan disciples. If Quan Xing and his gang knew that the heir of the Jiashen Rebellion appeared in Shangqing, many people would definitely be interested.
The major sects and prominent families might still be concerned about their reputation and only dare to secretly inquire about the news. They dare not really turn against Shangqing. Just like a certain bald eagle, they always provoke the white bear, but when the white bear really wants to fight and scare it, it becomes cowardly and tries to make peace.
No way, no way, you get angry over such a small thing.
The powerful polar bear and bald eagle are unlikely to fight each other, but the free camel will have no scruples and will use any dirty tricks until it chop off your claws that have reached into your home.
Quan Xing is almost entirely made up of a bunch of lunatics and conceited people. There are only a few normal people who would want to kill and burn people in times of peace. They use the slogan of "preserving the integrity of the whole nature and not damaging a single bit" to act recklessly and lawless.
Being targeted by such a group of mad dogs, there will never be peace on Maoshan Mountain.
Zhang Zhiwei thought for a moment and said, "From now on, you don't have to be shy about using the Golden Light Curse. I will announce to the public that I taught you the Golden Light Curse in order to thank you for saving Lingyu."
"Thank you, Heavenly Master."
With the Heavenly Master backing him up, Hu Xiuwu no longer had to be restrained and afraid to use the Golden Light Curse when there were other people around.
The Golden Light Mantra has long been an indispensable part of Hu Xiuwu's cultivation system. During the battle, abandoning the Golden Light Mantra also has a great impact on him.
Zhang Zhiwei looked at Hu Xiuwu for a few more seconds and said, "In fact, your Golden Light Mantra is still strong enough. If I were not worried about arousing suspicion, I would teach you the Yin Five Thunder Method now."
Hu Xiuwu lowered his eyebrows and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master Tianshi, but my sword skills and magic skills have not yet been fully practiced, so I can't be greedy for more."
Although the Five Thunder Technique is one of the best techniques in the world, his Ghost Moon Sword Technique and the Seven Killing Orders of Gods and Ghosts are not bad either.
Zhang Zhiwei was very satisfied with Hu Xiuwu's choice: "It's good that he is not carried away by greed and knows what he should want at the moment."
"When you feel that your cultivation is complete and you don't know what to do next, you can come to Longhu Mountain. I will teach you the Yin Five Thunder Method so that you can apply it to other situations."
If Hu Xiuwu was only practicing Shangqing's skills, Zhang Zhiwei would not recommend it this way, but Hu Xiuwu himself practiced many spells, including Youyue Sword Technique, Golden Light Curse, Seven Killing Orders of Gods and Ghosts, Huangting Sutra, and even dabbled in Western Transfiguration.
If Zhang Zhiwei is walking on the road of seeking one, like the Dugu Nine Swords which uses one to push away all things, then Hu Xiuwu is just like Zhang Huaiyi, walking on the road of seeking ten thousand, gathering all the techniques into one furnace and practicing a golden elixir.
There is no difference between the two, they just have different intentions.
Furthermore, Hu Xiuwu practiced the Huangting Sutra to strengthen his body. The Five Thunder Method is not only a spell to fight against enemies, but also an unparalleled method to cultivate the five qi in the body, which is also helpful to the Huangting Sutra.
With Zhang Zhiwei's endorsement, Hu Xiuwu no longer avoided people when practicing the Golden Light Mantra. When Zhang Lingyu and others came back, they found that Hu Xiuwu, who was meditating in the house, was shining with golden light like flames.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Hu Xiuwu extinguished the golden light and opened his eyes.
The group of people who went out in the morning came back. Although they all looked like they had just finished swimming and their hair was wet, they did not look very happy on their faces.
Only Zhang Lingyu was not affected. He did not ask Hu Xiuwu why he learned the Golden Light Mantra, but kindly taught Hu Xiuwu his experience in practicing the Golden Light Mantra.
Although what Zhang Lingyu said was what he had experienced, Hu Xiuwu still pretended to listen carefully. When Zhang Lingyu took a break, he changed the subject and asked:
"I thought you guys wouldn't come until the evening. Why are you back so early? Why don't you spend more time soaking in the Black Lake?"
"Don't mention it. The Black Lake Secret Realm is just a useless place for us."
Hua Ming wiped his wet hair with a towel and complained in a tone as if he saw the crayfish right in front of him but couldn't eat it.
They all came to the shore of the Black Lake in high spirits, and just as it was described in the ancient books, they bathed in the Yi River and enjoyed the breeze in the Wu Yu Lake.
Like the athletes in a diving competition, they jumped into the black lake one after another.
After sinking to the bottom of the lake, they indeed felt what Hu Xiuwu said. The concentration of spiritual energy was ten times that of land. Practicing at the bottom of the lake was indeed ten times faster than on land.
Hu Xiuwu asked suspiciously, "Then why do you look so sad?"
Hua Ming said with a bitter face: "A big cycle takes at least half an hour. We are all living people, how can we last that long?"
“At most, we can only hold out for an incense stick of time before we have to float to the surface. Even if there is a rich spiritual energy at the bottom of the lake, we can’t complete a large circulation of energy peacefully if we keep going back and forth like this. It’s better to practice peacefully on land instead of wasting time on this.”
Hua Ming was very distressed, and Hu Xiuwu showed a slight smile on his face.
The people he met the day before were all warriors who had thought of every possible way in advance so that they could move freely underwater, so he forgot that many aliens actually did not have the ability to survive underwater for a long time.
This secret realm of Black Lake is not like the Hulu Cave, which welcomes everyone and has no threshold.
If you want to enjoy the Black Lake Secret Realm’s ability to accelerate your cultivation, you must have the ability to survive underwater.
This threshold directly blocked more than half of the aliens.
There was no chance of taking shortcuts, so everyone stopped thinking about the secret realm of the Black Lake and focused on their cultivation.
After another month of dull days, Dumbledore informed Hu Xiuwu.
The magic weapon that Nicolas Flamel made for Hu Xiuwu is finally finished.
Chapter 280 Three Thousand Feet
In the Headmaster's Office at Hogwarts,
Hu Xiuwu was looking at a golden box that was no bigger than an ordinary dressing box.
