That shouldn't be the case. The Jingjue nation has been destroyed, and only ruins remain of the Samsara Sect. Where did the Snake God believers come from?
“Where did these bugs come from?”
······
“Where did these bugs come from?”
Hu Xiuwu had a headache.
"Shugo, what are you talking about?"
Hu's mother, who was tending to the flowers and plants in the yard, vaguely heard Hu Xiuwu speaking, and turned around and asked while watering the flowers.
Hu Xiuwu, who was not very familiar with three-thread work, accidentally spoke out his thoughts.
Hu Xiuwu sat in a rocking chair in the yard, watching his mother watering the flowers, and said casually, "I think your flowers and the grape vines by the wall seem to be attracting insects."
Mother Hu said disapprovingly, "Growing flowers and fruits will definitely attract insects. These insects are smarter than humans. They always pick the brightest flowers to bite, and they always eat the sweetest fruits first."
Hu Xiuwu nodded in agreement: "Who said it wasn't? If it really doesn't work, you should give me some medicine."
"No, the anthelmintic will leave some residue, and it will get into your stomach."
Hu Xiuwu muttered absentmindedly, "Yes, even when the insects die, some will remain. I don't know if fire can burn them all."
Mother Hu was amused by her son's words: "Of course we can't use fire, that would hurt the flowers and plants."
“That’s why it’s troublesome.”
"That's right, even the scientists didn't have a solution, so they came up with some biological control method instead."
An idea flashed through Hu Xiuwu's mind: "Nemesis? This is not easy to find."
"By the way, tell me what you want to eat tonight. Your dad is going to pick up Xiaotian, and I asked him to buy it on the way." Mother Hu said excitedly.
Hu Xiuwu rocked in his rocking chair and laughed, "My dad went to pick up Xiaotian? Why is he so free today? Isn't today Wednesday? Doesn't he have to go to school?"
"He quit his job." Hu's mother said casually.
Hu Xiuwu was surprised: "Quit? Why?"
"I don't know. Some time ago, someone came to visit our house and chatted with your dad. I think there was also your dad's superior when he was in the army. I have never seen your dad respect someone so much. Even when Wang Kaixuan's father was around, he never treated him like this."
When talking about family matters, Mother Hu is always very energetic and speaks as if she is telling a story.
"After those people left, your father was always walking around in the study alone, with a smile on his face. It didn't seem like anything happened, but when we asked him what was wrong, he wouldn't say anything."
"The old man is keeping a secret from me, huh~"
After scolding Hu Yunxuan and snorting, Hu's mother continued, "Then he quit his job."
Hu Xiuwu chuckled: "Oh, that's how it is."
How could the forces of the various countries know nothing about Luofeng's soul-capturing operation, when it was such a large-scale operation?
Even though he is a soldier, my dad is very clear-headed. He knows a lot about some things and is very wise.
"Why are you pretending to have a tacit understanding? Do you two really think I know nothing?" Mother Hu put down the shower head with a bang, put her hands on her hips and yelled at Hu Xiuwu, scaring him so much that he huddled up in the rocking chair.
"I wanted you to confess yourself!"
"When your father became the division commander, local people always came to my house to express their condolences to me. But if your father's old gang leader gets promoted again, it is impossible for leaders to come to express their condolences to him."
"I know what kind of person your brother is. He has a bad temper. He can't even be a company commander. He is destined to be a squad leader or platoon leader."
"Hu Xiuwu! Tell me, what on earth have you done now!?"
It’s nothing. Your son just built an underworld and became a ghost king.
Chapter 428: Zhao Fangxu's Audience
As soon as he saw his mother's red face, hands on hips, and tears in her eyes due to excitement, Hu Xiuwu knew that his mother had misunderstood.
She was not angry, but worried. When the news came back that her eldest brother was selected to join the special forces and was about to go on a mission, she looked like this.
Hu's mother had never been told about the strange man. His mother was afraid that she would misunderstand that he was doing a spy or undercover job, which was a highly dangerous job that required secrecy, so she was worried about Hu Xiuwu's safety.
She didn't want Hu Bayi to go to the front line, and similarly, she didn't want Hu Xiuwu to participate in dangerous things.
Hu Xiuwu smiled and said, "A loving mother like you will surely be blessed by all gods and protected from demons and ghosts."
"Don't change the subject. What are you talking about?" Mother Hu nodded at Hu Xiuwu's head angrily: "I think you have been in Maoshan for too long. You don't even know how to flatter others."
Hu Xiuwu missed this feeling of being cared for, so he came to his mother's side, and relying on his height, which was already a head taller than his mother, he put his arm around her shoulders and brushed off the dust on her collar, hoping to sweep away her worries:
"Don't worry, it's not what you think. I'm not a big-time soldier like Big Brother. I have quite a few people under me."
"Otherwise, Dad wouldn't have given me room. The most dangerous time has passed."
As expected, Mother Hu misunderstood. She did not ask any further questions. She just slapped Hu Xiuwu's hand away in disdain and muttered, "You are always trying to fool an old woman like me."
Hu Xiuwu happily watched his mother nagging at the side.
Let Dad give the more detailed explanation, my mother will be angry with me if I say anything.
Dad has experience, so he’s not afraid that Mother will be angry with him. It’s just a matter of eating takeout for a few days. The old man is used to it anyway.
Besides, I have other things to do here.
Ding Dong,
The electronic doorbell at the gate of the Hu family's small courtyard suddenly rang.
"Did the old man forget to bring his keys again?"
Hu's mother habitually wiped her hands on her gardening apron and prepared to open the door.
No, this is not my dad. If little Hu Tian was locked outside, he would have opened the door himself by entering the password.
Their small courtyard house retains the ancient style on the outside, but the interior has long been modernized and is smart and comfortable. Even the gate is smart, which can be opened not only with a key but also with a password. The electronic cat's eye is also connected to the mobile phone.
So the door wasn't opened yet, but through the app on his mobile phone, Hu Xiuwu had already seen who was coming.
······
"Zhao Fangxu."
Zhao Fangxu, who was always approachable and amiable, took out his business card and handed it to Mother Hu, who was leaning against the gate of the courtyard with a wary look in her eyes, smiling:
"This is my business card. I am also an employee of Nadutong."
Mother Hu took the business card and said enthusiastically, "Oh, are you my boss's colleague? Are you here to see my boss? He hasn't gotten off work yet."
Zhao Fangxu adjusted his glasses and said softly, "No, no, I'm not here to see Bayi. I'm here to see Hu Xiuwu."
Mother Hu became suspicious: "Xiu Wu? What do you want to do with him?"
"Isn't this Mr. Zhao? What wind has blown you here?"
Before Zhao Fangxu could open his mouth to explain, Hu Xiuwu came over to help him out, gently nudged Hu's mother, and said jokingly:
"Mom, this is the chairman of my brother's company. He's my brother's immediate superior. Hurry up and invite him in. Be careful that Mr. Zhao doesn't make things difficult for my brother."
"Oh, it's Mr. Zhao. Please come in, please come in."
Seeing that Hu Xiuwu had confirmed Zhao Fangxu's identity, Hu's mother opened the gate and quickly welcomed Zhao Fangxu home.
Zhao Fangxu walked and laughed, "Hu Bayi has made a lot of contributions in Nadutong over the years. He is daring and hardworking. With the relationship between us, how could I possibly make things difficult for him?"
Hu's mother said, "What does it matter? The old man retired a long time ago. You just need to look after him normally. Bayi is a straightforward kid who is prone to getting into trouble. You should still punish him and spank him."
"Xiuwu, take Mr. Zhao to your room. I'll make you a cup of tea."
As soon as Hu's mother left, Hu Xiuwu stopped pretending to smile and said indifferently:
"Please, Mr. Zhao."
After saying this, he turned his head, put his hands behind his back, and led the way like a leader on an inspection tour.
Faced with such a rude behavior, Zhao Fangxu simply smiled bitterly and followed Hu Xiuwu obediently.
Things change over time. Hu Xiuwu is no longer the little Taoist boy who had to carefully deal with Zhao Fangxu's temptations and was easily threatened by him.
Hu's mother said that she wanted Zhao Fangxu to go to Hu Xiuwu's room, not his bedroom, but the wing room that Hu Xiuwu lived in. After Hu Xiuwu grew up, he no longer lived in the same room with his parents, but had a wing room all to himself.
The wing room is about 70 to 80 square meters in size, which is more than enough to accommodate a bedroom, a living room and a bathroom.
A pot of fragrant tea, two people sitting opposite each other.
"Your Majesty, why didn't you tell us when you came back?"
After Hu's mother brought the tea and left, Zhao Fangxu spoke first, putting himself in a very humble position in his words.
Hu Xiuwu said, "If I don't tell you, you won't know. I just came back yesterday, and Mr. Zhao sat opposite me today."
Zhao Fangxu was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.
He didn't object to my address!
Hu Xiuwu was sitting in front of him.
He really is the new Northern Yin Fengdu Emperor! The Lord of the Underworld who controls reincarnation!
Hundreds of thousands of Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons were patrolling the world hunting and capturing the dead. With such a large force, how could Nadutong not find any trace at all?
Not only Nadutong, but all the extraordinary management organizations around the world were shocked.
The messenger from the afterlife in the story suddenly became real, so it was natural to investigate.
If they can capture souls, they can kill people. Traces of the Yincha can be found in every corner of the world. In other words, this unknown underworld has the power to turn a prosperous city into a den of ghosts overnight. Who would not be afraid?
During this period, the legends of several countries in the Pan-Asian cultural circle have been thoroughly studied by all the superhuman organizations in the world.
After all, it is not difficult to trace the origins of such distinctive features as the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monster.
Nadutong has been busy looking for the origin of the underworld these days.
When exploring the affairs of ghosts and gods, one cannot avoid Taoism and Buddhism. This investigation revealed that Shangqing had proposed to change the name of the Northern Yin Fengdu Emperor, which could not be concealed.
It turned out that the people in the Taoist Association just thought that Shangqing wanted to improve their own method of summoning gods. With the endorsement of the Heavenly Master, the modification was successfully completed when Zhang Chulan noticed the eyes of all the strange people in the Luotian Grand Ceremony.
The Great Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu, Hu Xiuwu.
Everyone was deceived, including Zhao Fangxu.
The secret of the Jiashen Rebellion covered up all the abnormalities that Hu Xiuwu had experienced before.
