He still didn't understand Zhang Chulan's current situation.
Hu Xiuwu pulled Zhang Chulan aside and asked helplessly:
"What's going on? Why didn't you accept the Heavenly Master's instruction?"
Zhang Chulan smiled knowingly: "Sure enough, my uncle has long known the effect of the Heavenly Master Degree. You are just like the Heavenly Master, and you both want to use the Heavenly Master Degree to trap me in Longhu Mountain."
Chapter 349 Return to the city
"Isn't this good? According to the plan of the Heavenly Master and I, after you inherit the Heavenly Master position, you can stay in the mountains peacefully without having to worry about worldly affairs."
"No matter how strong the wind of this mortal world is, it can never reach Mount Longhu."
"You will get the peace and tranquility that Teacher Huaiyi has always dreamed of."
Hu Xiuwu stared at Zhang Chulan with a look like he was seeing a child who had reached his rebellious stage and would not stop no matter what he said.
Zhang Chulan turned his head away, not daring to look directly into Hu Xiuwu's eyes, feeling a little guilty.
He knew who was good to him, and the design by Hu Xiuwu and Zhang Zhiwei could indeed help him escape from worldly troubles.
For this, the Heavenly Master was even willing to sacrifice his life, but...
Zhang Chulan sighed, "If it was a year earlier, I would have encountered such a good thing that fell from the sky, and I could have become a Zhengyi Tianshi, entered the system in an instant, had a stable job, never had to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life, and didn't have to worry about enemies coming to my door, I would have been ecstatic and agreed."
"But, I have promised Sister Baoer that I will help her find the truth. If I am imprisoned by the Heavenly Master, even if I know the truth about the Jiashen Rebellion, I will never be able to tell Sister Baoer."
"I don't want to disappoint her. What's more, I can't accept that an elder who loves me would die for me."
After the Heavenly Master passes on his power, will the previous Heavenly Master die?
Hu Xiuwu was also very surprised. This was the first time he knew this secret. At the same time, he also wanted to understand one thing.
That is, why the Heavenly Master called him first and invited him to participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony. Before, Hu Xiuwu thought that the Heavenly Master wanted him to eliminate the powerful enemy for Zhang Chulan, but it seems that it is not just that.
This Luotian Grand Ceremony was intended not only to trap Zhang Chulan, but also to take Hu Xiuwu's intentions into consideration.
The Heavenly Master Degree does not have the ability to pass on power. What can be passed on to the next Heavenly Master is only the thousand-year-old knowledge stored in the Heavenly Master Degree and the knowledge of Heavenly Masters of all generations.
Master Zhengyi is the insurance of the Snake God Plan, and although Zhang Chulan is talented, his current strength is far from enough and he is not qualified to be the last insurance.
Therefore, this Luotian Grand Ceremony is also a magnifying glass, helping the Heavenly Master to examine Hu Xiuwu's abilities.
If Hu Xiuwu showed any sign of difficulty during the Luotian Grand Ceremony, the Heavenly Master would probably suspend his plan to keep Zhang Chulan in Longhu Mountain.
However, throughout the Luotian Grand Ceremony, Hu Xiuwu fought against immortals and subdued gods with ease. The Ten Lords Wang Ai did not gain any advantage from him. Lingyu praised him highly, and the Taoists in Longhu Mountain were kind to him because of the comparison with Zhang Chulan.
All this made Zhang Zhiwei very happy and also made him believe.
Even without him, Hu Xiuwu's own abilities are enough to deal with future dangers and storms.
He could die peacefully, and he still owed Zhang Huaiyi a favor to protect his grandson.
After a long while, Hu Xiuwu sighed: "The Heavenly Master is so old, but he is still so..."
"arrogant."
That's right, arrogance.
The Master's thoughts are very simple.
When I am alive, nothing is difficult in the world. But when I die, nothing is easy in the world.
"Yes, it is the best in the world after all."
Zhang Chulan felt the same way and nodded in agreement.
Hu Xiuwu patted Zhang Chulan on the shoulder and said, "Since you have rejected the easy path that Master Tian and I have chosen for you, the rest of the road will probably be even more difficult."
"You have to be careful. There are not only wolves on the road, but also poisonous snakes lurking at your feet."
Uncle, it seems like you have some implication.
Zhang Chulan's mind turned, but he smiled the next second, habitually using a playful smile to hide his inner thoughts: "Don't worry, uncle, I know what I'm doing. If there is really something I can't handle, I will definitely ask you for help. Just don't mind the trouble."
When did I say I would help you? You really are good at taking advantage of others.
Hu Xiuwu couldn't help laughing. Zhang Chulan was really shameless when he was being shameless, but most of the time he had a very smart mind. He could handle the relationships with the people around him very harmoniously and get things done properly, and no one could find any fault with him.
Looking at the somewhat flattering Zhang Chulan, Hu Xiuwu couldn't help but think.
Know when to advance and when to retreat, and understand people’s hearts.
If the position of Heavenly Master is really given to Zhang Chulan, it may not necessarily be a bad thing for Longhu Mountain.
"Brother Hu."
After Hu Xiuwu and Zhang Chulan finished chatting, Xiao Xiao and Xi, who had been waiting on the side, ran over to say hello.
After getting closer, the two of them bowed deeply to Hu Xiuwu.
Xiao Xiao's eyes sparkled with admiration, and he said gratefully: "Brother Hu, thank you for saving us."
Hu Xiuwu acted as a firefighter for a while and saved many people, including Xiao Xiao and Xi.
At that time, they fought with Yun Zheng and Quan Xing's Xue Fan, who came from Dan Fan Mai, a side sect with few members.
The three of them were just young boys and had no idea of the secrets of this craft. They were caught off guard and fell into Xue Fan's trap. They were injured by his soul-guiding flag and the corpse poison entered their bodies.
Xi was controlled by Xue Fan without knowing it and almost cut off Xiao Xiao's arm. Fortunately, Hu Xiuwu arrived, rescued Xiao Xiao, and knocked out the controlled Xi.
Unfortunately, Xue Fan ran away quickly. When he saw that the situation was not good, he turned around and ran away.
Xiao Xiao was as enthusiastic as a fan of Hu Xiuwu, and said earnestly: "Brother Hu, I will invite you to watch my crosstalk performance when you have time."
Xi, who was standing by, had just had the evil spirits in his body dispelled by the medical team of Nadutong. He had a pair of dark circles under his eyes and looked a little weak, but he still couldn't help but complain:
"Goodbye, Brother Hu just saved you, you can't repay kindness with hatred. I told you last time that you are not cut out for it. I almost scratched the sole of my shoe while listening to your speech last time."
Afterwards, ignoring Xiao Xiao's look that tried to send him to the medical team, Xi patted his chest proudly, trying to make his 1.6-meter-tall self burst out with a 2-meter-tall aura:
"Just listen to me, Brother Hu. Come to Qilu and I'll take you to drink beer and eat seafood."
"Woo~"
Xiao Xiao wanted to say something when he heard a familiar crying sound beside him. It was Lu Linglong sobbing softly in Lu Jin's arms.
Some people were rescued, but some were injured. Zhi Jinhua, who was in the same team as Lu Linglong, was seriously injured and has now been carried back by the Nadoutong medical team.
Zhi Jinhua is meticulous and quick-witted, and is known as the human computer, but she has a fatal weakness.
Weak character,
It was not obvious during normal sparring, but in the life-and-death fight with Quan Xing's madman, Zhi Jinhua became timid when she was stimulated by the opponent's murderous aura. Her brain could not work at all, and she could not exert her full strength, and was easily defeated by the opponent.
Lu Linglong is just the opposite. Although she is crying in Lu Jin's arms like a delicate young lady, if a real fight breaks out, she is prepared to draw her sword and perish together with the enemy.
Even though the enemy outnumbered us, we had no intention of retreating and protected the injured Zhi Jinhua firmly behind us.
Although he was seriously injured, he still managed to hold on until Zhang Chulan rescued him.
Seeing their old friend now lying unconscious on a stretcher, Xiao Xiao and Xi, the flowers in the greenhouse, were a little dazed.
Zhang Chulan also had some thoughts, but compared to Xiao Xiao and the others, he consciously forced himself to take the most critical step. His hands were stained with blood, and he became a qualified soldier.
Hu Xiuwu did not disturb them and let them get through this difficult time on their own.
Tick-tock.
The crisp sound of water drops came from Hu Xiuwu's pocket.
Taking out his cell phone, Hu Xiuwu stared at the message on the screen.
Wang Kaixuan: I have returned to Sijiu City, don't worry.
Tick-tock.
Wang Kaixuan: Oh, I found his phone number. We haven't been in touch for many years. I had to ask Da Jin Ya to find his phone number. What do you want his phone number for?
Hu Xiuwu did not reply to Wang Kaixuan. He put his phone back in his pocket and said goodbye to Zhang Chulan who was distracted beside him:
"I'm going back to Sijiu City first. Please help me give Tianshi a good message."
Zhang Chulan came back to his senses and asked in surprise: "Is my uncle leaving in such a hurry? Why don't we leave together tomorrow?"
"No, I still have things to deal with."
"Your battle is over for now, but mine isn't."
Hu Xiuwu said so.
Chapter 350 Chen Jiuren
"Brother Qiu Hua, is this the National Academy of Luda University? That's amazing. Standing here, I feel a sense of history."
Hearing the exclamation of the girl next to him, the bookish college student wearing glasses and a plaid shirt said proudly:
"Of course, this is a national key project. There is no other university in the entire city that can compare with us in terms of Chinese studies."
Seeing the girl looking at him with admiration with her beautiful big eyes, the college student named Qiu Hua became even more excited. He straightened his chest to make his work ID card with a red circular seal-script human logo on his chest more conspicuous.
A Mr. Yang once said that Luda is a university that cultivates college students to manage universities, so its status in the country can be imagined.
However, although Luda is a good school, it is still difficult for graduate students in some unpopular majors to find a partner.
"Brother Qiu Hua, is it really okay for you to take me in? I'm not a student of your school. I'm afraid you will be punished."
The girl's brows were slightly frowned, but it did not affect her color, especially against the backdrop of the milky white dress she was wearing today, which added a kind of fragile beauty.
She's like a pretty widow who just lost her husband. She's lost a bit of her innocence, but gained three points of charm.
No, no, no, why would I have such a feeling? I just think she is like a withered flower after the rain, and I just feel pity for her.
Qiu Hua refused to admit that these were his true thoughts, and brainwashed himself madly in his heart.
Seeing that Qiu Hua was still silent, the girl asked worriedly, "Did I make things too difficult for Brother Qiu Hua? Why don't we just walk around the school?"
"No, no,"
It felt like the girl's temperament was born out of her own sexual quirks, no, it was her aesthetic point. Qiu Hua was so amazed that he could not speak. When he heard that the girl was leaving, he said quickly with his throat sliding:
"It's no problem. We're not one of those laboratories. The confidentiality and operation levels here are not that high. Just don't mess with the professor's documents."
Worried that the girl would run away, Qiu Hua used actions instead of words to open the door and let the girl in.
