From the moment Zhu Yu stepped into the Chu Palace, he knew that his situation would be very dangerous...
And after four years of meditation in the deep palace, he was even more certain of this.
Just imagine who Chu Buqun is? Since Yang Xiusong can see through some of Zhu Yu's secrets, how can Chu Buqun not notice it at all?
As one of the top figures in the Chinese world, Chu Buqun will definitely have magical powers that are not understood by others. Zhu Yu’s cultivation level is low and he cannot grasp Chu Buqun’s power. Therefore, everything in the future will be difficult for Zhu Yu.
None of it is unpredictable.
But the squid didn't make any move.
His only action was to quietly take back his clone in Xichu.
Of course, the disappearance of Xichu Zhuyu was very clever.
The Liehu Army fought against the Western Qin Dynasty, and Zhu Yu was killed in the rebellion.
In that battle, the Qin State had a powerful Celestial Master-level warrior, but Zhu Yu died in a bitter battle.
This incident shocked Western Chu, and the Overlord of Western Chu and Zhu Libaji went crazy. Xiang Yuan even killed two thousand Western Qin cavalry to vent their anger.
Zhu Yu also used this to completely erase all traces of himself in Xi Chu, and had nothing to do with Xi Chu anymore.
All dangers are unknown, and Zhuyu uses this to sharpen his Taoist mind.
He retracted all his tentacles and cut off many escape routes. In the eyes of others, he was still the same person, but only he knew how much he had changed in the past four years.
On this day, the squid was walking in the yard again.
"Gege!" With a chuckle, Chu Tong'er's figure flashed and appeared in front of him.
"Seventh Senior Brother!"
Zhu Yu smiled slightly and said: "Oh, junior sister, why do you have time to come to me today? How is your disciple's teaching? Xiao Fang's cultivation must have improved greatly, right?"
Chu Tong'er waved her hands and said: "That's natural. Junior Brother Lin can be said to have changed his mind in recent years, but it still takes an opportunity to step into the realm of god transformation. If he becomes a god, he will threaten you!"
Zhu Yu said: "What do you mean, junior sister? Is it possible that I am so disliked by you?"
Chu Tong'er pursed her lips and said: "Seventh Senior Brother, to tell you the truth, my father is very partial. Today we gathered all our disciples in the Wenhe Hall and asked you to become a direct disciple. Many elders in our great Chu are not convinced.
.
I asked Senior Brother to inform you that you will participate in this year's outer palace disciple competition!"
Chu Tong'er paused and said, "Don't underestimate the outer palace disciples. All of them have extraordinary cultivation. A few of them, in particular, are vaguely close to the combat power of the direct disciples. Most of these disciples come from the four Chu regions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
With your cultivation level, you are absolutely no match for them. You said this...hey..."
Zhu Yu frowned slightly. Zhu Yu from the outer palace of Chu Palace had heard about it for a long time.
The State of Chu is a country of vassals. The Chu Buqun family is the only one, but the other four Chu states are also quite powerful.
If the most elite disciples of the Four Chus enter the Chu Palace to practice, they cannot become the direct disciples of Chu Buqun, but they can also obtain part of the royal inheritance. These disciples are collectively called the outer palace disciples.
The disciples of the Outer Palace are not weak in strength, and there are many disciples in the middle stage of becoming gods. Chu Buqun allowed himself to participate in the competition of the Outer Palace, and his intentions are self-evident.
After neglecting him for four years, he found such an opportunity. His forbearance and insidiousness were truly amazing.
"Hey, why are you not in a hurry? Why don't I take you to the Queen Mother to plead for mercy, and let the Queen Mother tell the father that this is unfair!" Chu Tong'er said, looking very dissatisfied.
Zhu Yu said calmly: "Brothers, since you are all here, why don't you come out and meet me?"
Zhu Yu said so.
Xiahou's hearty laughter came first
Next, Lao Liqiong, Liang Jindou, Dai Ling and others appeared one by one.
Zhu Yu saluted them one by one and said: "All the senior brothers have come to my place. I am very flattered. Could it be that it is really for the grand competition in the outer palace?"
Several people were smiling at first, but when they heard about the competition in the outer palace, everyone's smiles disappeared.
Lu Qiandao said: "I don't know what Master is thinking. Even I am not sure about participating in the Outer Palace Competition, not to mention that the Seventh Junior Brother has just started, hey..."
"Xiao Luzi, what does it mean to be unsure? If you participate in the outer palace competition, you will definitely lose. An Weifeng from Southern Chu, Chu Jinnan from Northern Chu, Le Xiaofei from Dong Chu, each of these three people
You are no match!" Xia Hou said coldly.
Lu Qian's face suddenly turned red and he said, "Elder brother, can't you save some face for me?"
"Haha!" Everyone else laughed, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
Xia Hou looked at Zhu Yu and said: "Seventh Junior Brother, although I don't know why Master has this arrangement, the Outer Palace Competition is really no small matter. It is only three months away from the competition, so from today on, I
You must personally teach your master the magical swordsmanship.
Hey, you can understand as much as you can, so do your best when the time comes!"
Lin Xiaofang, who had been silent for a long time, stuck out his head from the crowd and said: "Senior Brother, if... if Senior Brother Seventh cannot get first place in the competition, will Master have to expel him from the door?"
Xia Hou's expression changed and he said angrily: "You are the only one who can talk nonsense. You already said that Master has other plans. Don't you understand?"
Xiahou's face looked very ugly.
The other senior fellow apprentices also didn’t look good.
In fact, in the past four years, they have often wanted to come over and see Zhuyu, but Chu Buqun had strict orders, so they did not dare to disobey their master's orders.
Only Chu Tong'er came to Zhuyu twice because she was Chu Buqun's daughter, and only twice.
They didn't understand what Chu Buqun meant. Since he had accepted Zhu Yu as a disciple, why didn't he teach him any swordsmanship and let Zhu Yu live alone in the palace for four whole years?
Now, Zhuyu is suddenly asked to participate in the outer palace competition.
Doesn’t this make it clear that Zhu Yu can’t stay in the Chu Palace any longer? If I had known this, why would I have accepted Zhu Yu into the palace in the first place?
They thought so in their hearts, and they all felt sorry for Zhu Yu, but they never dared to have the slightest dissatisfaction with Chu Buqun.
Today, Chu Buqun finally opened the ban on Zhuyu's place, and they couldn't wait to come over. Xiahou even boldly asked Chu Buqun if he could teach Zhuyu some swordsmanship.
Chu Buqun nodded, and then they rushed over.
A group of fellow disciples gathered together and held a simple banquet with Zhuyu as the host.
From beginning to end, Zhuyu didn't complain a word and acted very comfortable and calm all the time.
His performance made Chu Tong'er and others even more uneasy. Chu Tong'er had always regarded Zhu Yu as his own, and after experiencing the twists and turns of Dong Qi, the disciples in the Chu Palace also accepted Zhu Yu's position from the bottom of their hearts.
identity.
Now that the squid is about to jump into the fire pit, how can they not be anxious?
As disciples of the royal family, they know the outer palace better than Zhu Yu.
The disciples of the outer palace all came from the land of the major princes. Although they were apparently controlled by the Emperor of Chu, in fact they formed their own system.
Their biggest hobby is to provoke their direct disciples, and they don't expect to be merciful in the competition.
Being able to kill a direct disciple is a great honor for them. Can they let go of such an opportunity?
The last time a direct disciple was killed, the person who killed him was Zhan You of Xi Chu. At that time, he broke the rules and angered Chu Buqun. Chu Buqun asked him to participate in the national competition. That national competition was really...
It embarrassed Chu Jing and the royal family.
Now that the same thing happened to Zhuyu again, everyone felt a sense of ominousness in their hearts.
Zhu Yu and everyone exchanged cups, but what Mo Chongshan said in his mind came to mind, "The so-called modest gentleman is also a lie, but it is just to win over people's hearts, and it's just a shame..."
Mo Chongshan's vision is indeed first-class.
Chu Buqun was lying on his back to try his best, but he was also showing weakness.
The last time the pillar of the country was captured by Zhan You, this was a sign of weakness and made the world laugh at the fact that there was no one in the royal family.
Although this year is not a national competition, allowing Zhuyu to participate in the outer palace competition is another sign of weakness. Letting Zhuyu take on this role can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
This not only eliminated the hidden danger of Zhuyu, but also made the Chu royal family become more low-key. His forbearance skills are truly unparalleled in the world.
Thinking of these, Zhu Yu's heart became more and more peaceful. After four years of hard work, his Taoist heart had become extremely firm.
The heart of the Tao is natural, everything is transparent and accessible, life and death are determined by destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven, how can the life and death of Zhuyu be controlled by human power?
After a simple banquet, many senior brothers headed by Xia Hou also took advantage of this to formulate a set of countermeasures.
Xiahou was responsible for personally teaching the magical swordsmanship of the Zhuyu royal family.
Liang Jindou was responsible for giving Chu Buqun advice from time to time, praying that the master would be open to Zhu Yuwang.
Dai Ling is responsible for collecting all kinds of genius treasures for Zhuyu to quickly improve his cultivation.
There are several other senior brothers who serve as Zhu Yu's sparring partners every day. Everyone takes turns and no one can slack off.
Zhu Yu was very moved and thanked them one by one. At the same time, he also made an exception and drank a lot of fairy wine. He drank it for the first time and got very drunk...
The secret realm "enters the world of mortals".
Zhu Yu has a lot of emotions tonight. The difficulties, dangers, and treacherous schemes in the world of mortals are really hard to guard against. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.
Chu Buqun was like a test given to him by God. Zhu Yu had a vague feeling that if he wanted to cross the threshold of the secret realm of "entering the world of mortals", he would have to cross the Chu Buqun barrier that fell in front of him.
of mountains.
The so-called competition in the outer palace is definitely just the beginning. There will be more things waiting for me later, and maybe there will be a direct confrontation in the end...
Of course, on the other hand, there is brotherhood and friendship in the world of mortals. There are some first-rate evildoers, some first-rate hypocrites, and some first-rate treacherous and evil people.
There are some truly upright and upright heroes in this mortal world.
The world of mortals is the most difficult to understand, and the world of mortals is the most difficult to see through. If you want to know about the world of mortals, you must be in the world of mortals.
Everything in the world of mortals is like drinking water. You know yourself whether it is hot or cold. If you don’t experience it yourself, how can you tell what the world of mortals is?
Zhu Yu's secret realm slowly deepened, but his consciousness became more and more ethereal and swaying in a daze. That night, he actually fell into a deep sleep. (To be continued...)
