And there were probably quite a few people here coming for him. When he said it was lively here, he didn't just mean there were a lot of people.
Before joining the crowd, he had already used his blue bird body to wander around the back mountain of Longhu Mountain. To be honest, he might be more familiar with the back mountain than the average Longhu Mountain descendant.
It was the tomb-raiding lieutenant Zhang Sanlian who sneaked into the back mountain, drew a feng shui map of Mount Longhu, and included it in the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique".
No one knows Zhang Sanlianzi's real name. Hu Xiuwu once suspected that he was a descendant of the high-level master from Mount Longhu.
This is a bit off topic, but during his visit, he discovered a lot of things.
There were undercurrents in Longhu Mountain, and various forces gathered. He discovered the undercover agent from Nadutong who was secretly passing on information, and Hu Jie from Dongxiangzhuang who was suspected to be controlled by the four madmen. It was obvious that these people were coming for one person.
Zhang Chulan.
"Hmm? People from the Feng family are here too. Who are those people next to them?"
Shan Shitong, who was chatting with Hu Xiuwu about his experiences in recent years, inadvertently glanced at a few people walking towards the mountain road and said with a puzzled look.
Hu Xiuwu turned his head and looked over. Shan Shitong didn't recognize the people next to Feng Xingtong and Feng Shayan, but he did.
The Lubei managers of Nadutong, Xu Si and Xu San, and Feng Baobao, a temporary worker in Lubei, and the focus of this time,
"Zhang Chulan!"
The alien named Canglong, who was introduced by Shan Shitong just now and was good at gossip and had a body like a fat man, suddenly shouted Zhang Chulan's name, attracting the attention of everyone present.
While dealing with the suddenly enthusiastic Canglong, Zhang Chulan secretly cursed Feng Xingtong for being unreliable. He actually told Canglong his identity in front of everyone and made everyone notice him.
Especially the one he cared about the most, Hu Xiuwu.
Before Canglong arrived, when Feng Xingtong introduced him to the extraordinary people present who were worthy of attention, he noticed Hu Xiuwu who was standing next to the Green Talisman God Shan Shitong, and wanted to pull Fourth Brother Xu over to get close to him.
As a result, Sister Baoer recognized him at a glance, grabbed Zhang Chulan, and subconsciously said to Zhang Chulan in Sichuan dialect:
"I've seen that guy before."
"The man next to Zhang Huaiyi in Baxian Mountain is him!"
Chapter 312 Luotian Grand Ceremony, Officially Begins
Hearing this, Xu San was also extremely shocked: "You said Hu Xiuwu is the man from Baxian Mountain?"
The sound was not loud, but there were strangers everywhere, and everyone had sharp ears and eyes. Feng Xingtong, who was closest to the group, heard it clearly and said in confusion:
"What is Baxian Mountain?"
"Oh, it's the Eight Immortals Mountain in Tianjin. Last time, Zhang Chulan was captured by the four crazy men of Quan Xing and taken to the Eight Immortals Mountain, but he was rescued by us later. But at that time, I always felt that someone was watching me, but I didn't find him. Today I found out that it was that person."
The matter of Zhang Huaiyi could not be discussed, but Xu Si's mind was very quick and he immediately found an excuse.
What he said was all true, except that he did not specify the time of his meeting with Hu Xiuwu.
As the young master of the Tianxiahui, a local snake in Tianjin, Feng Xingtong had naturally heard about what happened in Tianjin: "Oh, are you saying that person is also thinking about Zhang Chulan, this precious gem?"
"Oh my, I'm so annoyed. So many people are staring at me."
Zhang Chulan followed Feng Xingtong's words, held his forehead with his hand, pretending to be distressed, and put the matter behind him.
"Hey, look! Zhang Lingyu ran over to Hu Xiuwu's side. They are quite familiar with each other, and Zhang Lingyu seems to respect him quite a bit."
Feng Xingtong stood on tiptoe, looked over there, and shouted.
Don't be fooled by his carefree appearance, like a silly, generous and simple rich second generation. But in fact, like his father Feng Zhenghao, he is a smiling tiger, good at showing weakness, but in his bones, he has a ruthless spirit from the vast Liangshan Mountains, and he is also very scheming, but he is not as good as Zhang Chulan.
But he is not like his sister, who is really a naive person.
Just now, Feng Xingtong had secretly memorized the unfamiliar name Hu Xiuwu in his heart. He was able to hide in the dark and watch from a detached third party as the four madmen of Quanxing and Nadutong were fighting. He knew that this person was no good. Thinking of asking Tianxiahui to investigate him later, he had been paying attention to Hu Xiuwu's actions.
"Hey, you guys already knew that he was familiar with Zhang Lingyu?"
He was clearly shouting loudly just now, but Zhang Chulan and the others did not show any surprise. Feng Xingtong understood that they had known for a long time that Hu Xiuwu and Zhang Lingyu had a past.
Since Zhang Lingyu knew Shan Shitong, he was very familiar with him. It was interesting, really interesting.
He has to take part in the Luotian Grand Ceremony. If he can't make it in time, he will ask the people from the Tianxia Association to help him find out what methods Hu Xiuwu has that can make Zhang Lingyu respect him so much and the person in charge of Nadutong attach so much importance to him.
This Luotian Grand Ceremony is becoming more and more interesting.
"Haha, young people are really energetic."
The chuckle was faint and kind, not sharp, but it spread throughout the venue like the rising sun, and could not be ignored.
"The Heavenly Master is here."
"Senior Lu Jin, Senior Wang Ai and Senior Lu Ci from among the Ten Masters are also here."
"Is the Luotian Grand Ceremony finally about to begin?"
When everyone saw that the master of Longhu Mountain had finally arrived, they knew that the Luotian Grand Ceremony was finally about to begin.
The Heavenly Master did not disappoint everyone. After a few brief greetings, he announced that the Luotian Grand Ceremony had officially begun and those who were interested in participating could come forward to register and draw lots.
Those who draw the same label will become opponents in the same competition. Since there are too many people participating, the first competition will be a four-person free-for-all, and the one standing at the end will be the winner.
While everyone was lining up to draw lots, Xu Si had time to pull Feng Baobao and Zhang Chulan behind the crowd and ask Feng Baobao for the details.
Xu Sixian asked, "Bao'er, you are not mistaken, I remember my father told me that the man who accompanied Grandpa Zhang Chulan back then was clearly a middle-aged man in his thirties, and now he should be at least forty."
Feng Baobao shook his head and said affirmatively in Sichuan dialect: "No doubt, it is him. Although his appearance has changed, his Qi still has the same smell."
"Very fierce."
Zhang Chulan forced a smile and said, "Sister Baoer, being fierce doesn't taste good."
Xu San pushed his glasses and said solemnly: "I believe in Baoer's judgment. She has never made a mistake in this regard."
"Tsk, it's dark under the lamp," Xu Si snorted unhappily, trying to figure out what happened at that time.
"Before the Battle of Baxian Mountain, Hu Xiuwu's master, Shangqing Elder Wu Dechang, died in Tianjin. However, Shangqing reacted calmly at the time and took away Wu Dechang's body without further investigation. In addition, a week later, the Battle of Baxian Mountain took place, which attracted all the attention of the old man. Afterwards, he tried his best to cover up the matter and hide you, Zhang Chulan, so this matter was hastily let go."
"Now it seems that the first person to find Zhang Huaiyi was not someone from the Tang Sect, but Wu Dechang who was proficient in divination!"
Xu Si said to Zhang Chulan, "You have to be careful. Now I can't figure out whether Hu Xiuwu is an enemy or a friend. Don't talk too much to Hu Xiuwu for the time being."
Zhang Chulan understood: "I understand, Fourth Brother, you can brag, but don't talk about the real thing."
"Well, you can control the degree here. San'er will take you to line up for the lottery. I will make a few phone calls first to learn more about Hu Xiuwu's situation."
Xu Si only gave instructions to Zhang Chulan. Xu San was sometimes too pedantic in doing things and just followed the rules. He was good at handling documents on weekdays, but when it came to quick wit on the spot, he was not as good as Zhang Chulan, a young man in his early twenties.
That was the clear character that had been honed through twelve years of living alone since childhood.
The three of them went to draw lots together. When Zhang Chulan was drawing lots, even the Taoist boy from Longhu Mountain who was guarding the lot box looked at him more, as if he had known who he was for a long time.
B White Tiger,
A, B, C, D, I am in the second game in the White Tiger area, I wonder who my opponent will be?
Zhang Chulan held his sign and thought to himself,
Feng Baobao held the lot she had drawn, moved closer to Zhang Chulan, and leaned over to look at Zhang Chulan's lot. Her expression was blank, but her movements were bold and unrestrained, so much so that the jade pendant hanging around her neck jumped back and forth between her two peaks.
"Zhang Chulan, which one did you draw?"
······
"Koi B."
Hu Xiuwu turned over the note in his hand and showed it to Shan Shitong who came to ask him about the match.
Seeing that Hu Xiuwu and he were not on the same side, Shan Shitong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, I was not sent home in the first game.
Then, he began to feel happy and enjoy the misfortune:
The disciple of that family was so miserable. He met his senior brother in the first match and was beaten away in one wave. It would be better if Zhang Lingyu, Zhuge Qing, or both were there, then there would be one less big enemy.
Anyway, his match was later, so Shan Shitong decided to go watch his senior’s match first.
"Yi Baihu, please come in!"
Not many people came to see Yi Baihu. There weren't many extraordinary people to begin with, and they were divided into several areas. Naturally, everyone went to watch the fights between those extraordinary people who were already famous, such as Zhang Lingyu and Zhuge Qing.
Although this arena is as big as a football field, the auditorium is not even full. It's like a concert held by a singer who doesn't even realize his own reputation.
There are fewer spectators than security guards.
However, among the scattered spectators, there was not only Shan Shitong, but Xu San also abandoned Zhang Chulan who entered the venue at the same time, and brought Feng Baobao who had already finished the competition to check the enemy situation.
Feng Baobao's opponent is Jinwei Xiao Taoyuan. These three brothers had caused trouble in Tianjin before and were dealt with by Feng Baobao. They were thrown into the sea into a container by Xu Si and swam back by themselves.
So as soon as she saw Feng Baobao, she gave up and her game ended quickly.
Xu San looked at the four people who entered the venue, and compared them in his mind with the identity information of Luo Tian Da Jiao that he had collected before:
"Two people from the Seeking Truth Society and Hu Jie from Dongxiang Village. I wonder if these three can force out Hu Xiuwu's true strength."
Chapter 313 Clues
It was no coincidence that Hu Xiuwu met two people from the Seeking Truth Society in the primary election. The current Seeking Truth Society was formed by the merger of the former Yanwu Hall, Ziranmen, Huangmen Sancai, and Yiliufeng.
Regardless of the high-level combat power, the prestige and influence of the sect,
Judging from the number of inner disciples in a sect alone, there is really no sect in the world that can be compared with the Truth Seeking Society. Even Hu Bayi once complained to Wang Kaixuan and Hu Xiuwu when they were drinking at home, saying that the influence of the Truth Seeking Society had spread to the city of Sijiu and caused him a lot of trouble.
But his superiors asked him to turn a blind eye as long as it did not affect society, which made him very angry.
However, Hu Xiuwu had no ill feelings towards these four companies and even felt sympathy for them.
Although the Natural Gate, Yanwu Hall and other four families once besieged Zhang Huaiyi, all the best fighters of the older generation in those four families had fought hard, but in the end, the old man didn't even get a scratch. Isn't that pitiful?
What is the game at Baxian Mountain? It is the old man's fishing game.
They all thought that the old man was an old and sick tiger who was wandering outside and no longer powerful, so the wolves surrounded him and wanted to tear off a piece of his meat to nourish themselves.
As a result, the old man was not a sick tiger at all, but an old Tiger tank. Even though it had been in disrepair for a long time, it was still a powerful weapon against the Greedy Wolf. But even if the wolf pack had broken all its teeth, they could not break its defense.
The Luotian Grand Ceremony of the Truth Seeking Society also sent a number of disciples this time, hoping to make the name of the Truth Seeking Society famous and increase its prestige.
Unfortunately, the Truth Seeking Society’s plan may not work this time.
There are many outstanding contestants participating in the Luotian Grand Ceremony this time. As far as Hu Xiuwu knows, there are Zhang Lingyu, Zhang Chulan, Hong Bin, Zhuge Qing, Lu Linglong, the Feng siblings, Shan Shitong, and he had also seen Wang Ye before. None of these people is easy to get along with.
Hu Xiuwu felt a little sympathetic to the Truth Seeking Society's luck, and then raised his hand to block Hu Jie's fierce fist like a heavy hammer, with his eyes raised, calmly treating it as if he was treating a naughty kid:
