404. How could anyone not want to be the master of Tiangong Pavilion?
Seeing that Long Shengwu was about to kill himself with a knife, Zhou Shu also felt a little surprised.
He didn't expect Long Shengwu to be such a fierce person.
"Ding——"
In the midst of lightning and flint, Zhou Shu had already taken action. With a crisp sound, Long Shengwu took a few steps back, and the long knife in his hand fell to the ground.
He looked at the knife on the ground in a daze, and then looked up at Zhou Shu.
"Why stop me?"
Long Shengwu said in a deep voice.
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "Do you think everything will be in vain once you die?"
"Tell me, what's the point of wanting your life? If you die here, it will only cause me trouble."
"If you want to die, do it after you leave Tongguan City. Also, before you die, please place your bet."
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes and said.
It has been established that Long Shengwu is a novice in terms of fighting experience.
Cui Lin protected him too well before.
After a little experience, you always want to kill yourself. Do you really think you are a hero?
"I——"
Long Shengwu's face was red with embarrassment. He just couldn't afford the bet, so he wanted to pay for it with his life.
If you don't let him die and ask him to make a bet, where can he find a Yuanshi mineral vein for him?
Long Shengwu feels regretful now. Why didn't he listen to his master?
Why do you want to provoke Wu Zongquan?
"Senior Brother Long, don't be impulsive. If anything happens, we will figure it out together."
Several other people also gathered around. Long Shengwu's previous actions really shocked them.
If Zhou Shu hadn't reacted quickly, Long Shengwuke would have really died.
If Long Shengwu dies, the rest of them will be in trouble.
"Yes, Senior Brother Long, isn't it just a bet? If we all work together, we can always get it together."
Those people said one after another.
"Junior brothers——"
Long Shengwu looked moved, with tears in his eyes.
Zhou Shu couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Now that he knows the deep love between brothers, what have he been doing?
He will not be merciful just because of such a trivial matter.
If you dare to provoke yourself, you will have to bear the consequences of provoking yourself.
As for pitying them, that's not Zhou Shu's business.
"Shengwu, you will gain wisdom after every experience. I used to protect you too much, so you didn't know how high the sky is and how high it is."
Suddenly, a voice sounded, and a person suddenly appeared in the field. If it wasn't Cui Lin, the first deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion, who was it?
Speaking of which, Cui Lin left after visiting the city wall that day, and he didn't come back again until now.
Just like the first time, Cui Lin, an old boy, ran directly into Tongguan City without informing him.
He really regards Tongguan City as his home!
Zhou Shu thought angrily, it seems that the defense of Tongguan City needs to be further strengthened.
However, Zhou Shu also knows that no matter how strong the defense is, there is little hope of stopping someone like Cui Lin.
This guy Cui Lin not only has unfathomable martial arts skills, but is also proficient in the art of forging weapons. In a sense, he is even more dangerous than those false gods.
"Master!"
While Zhou Shu was unhappy, Long Shengwu and others had already knelt down on the ground and shouted to Cui Lin.
"Everyone, get up. What happened this time will teach you a lesson."
Cui Lin said calmly, "Shengwu, remember, death is the most cowardly sign. Don't do this again."
"Disciple understands."
Long Shengwu was so ashamed that he even wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. He lowered his head and said.
"The first deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion is really impressive."
Zhou Shu snorted coldly, "I don't care whether he dies or not, but his debt——"
"Brother Wu, I will repay his debt."
Cui Lin looked at Zhou Shu and said kindly.
"Are you here? Do you have the Yuanshi mineral vein?"
Zhou Shu looked at Cui Lin and said.
"I didn't."
Cui Lin's expression remained calm.
"It's nonsense without you!"
Zhou Shu did not have a good tone. Over and over again, the old guy Cui Lin regarded Tongguan City's defense as if it were nothing, and came and left as soon as he said it.
Zhou Shu is not a temperless person, so what about the first deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion?
When the false god Ji Bin came to Tongguan City, he had to abide by the rules of Tongguan City.
If you really piss off Zhou Shu, the first deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion, you will never come back!
Didn’t you see that Hou Baidong and Jin Kui are now migrant workers in Tongguan City?
"Although I don't have the Yuanshi mineral vein, it doesn't mean that I can't make bets."
Cui Lin smiled slightly and said.
"Brother Wu, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Cui Lin made a gesture of invitation.
I don’t know why, but Zhou Shu always feels that Cui Lin’s eyes are a little malicious.
"There is nothing that cannot be said to anyone. If you have anything to say, just say it here."
Zhou Shu said coldly.
A flash of astonishment flashed across Cui Lin's face, and he waved his hands to Long Shengwu and others helplessly, "You go and wait outside. No one is allowed in until I call you. Also, don't let anyone disturb us."
."
Cui Lin ordered.
Zhou Shu almost laughed in anger, Cui Lin, do you really think that Tongguan City is Tiangong Pavilion?
Are you still giving orders here?
Don't let anyone in?
Have you forgotten that this is the city lord’s palace of Tongguan City, and it is my territory!
"Brother Wu, calm down and listen to what I have to say."
Seeing that Zhou Shu was about to get angry, Cui Lin quickly spoke.
"I mean no harm."
Cui Lin said as soon as he came up.
Zhou Shu snorted coldly and was noncommittal.
Whether there is any malice or not is not just a matter of words.
Even if you have malicious intentions, I, Tongguancheng, will not have any fear.
Just because I don’t want to fall out with Tiangongge doesn’t mean I’m afraid of Tiangongge!
"Little brother, if I guess correctly, your master is not the master of my Tiangong Pavilion."
Cui Lin looked at Zhou Shu and said solemnly.
Cui Lin thought he could see some clues from Zhou Shu's face, but obviously, he was disappointed.
Zhou Shu's expression did not change at all. He looked at Cui Lin calmly, as if he were looking at a clown.
Do you really think that Zhou Shu has been living in vain all these years?
If he has no acting skills, how dare he lie here?
Want to deceive me? You, Cui Lin, are a little too young.
Zhou Shu looked straight at Cui Lin and said nothing.
Cui Lin frowned, was silent for a moment, and continued, "You should have accidentally received the inheritance of the weapon-making technique from the Pavilion Master, and then taught yourself to become a master."
Zhou Shu still didn’t speak.
If Cui Lin wants to judge anything from his performance, he is destined to be disappointed.
Sighing, Cui Lin could only think about himself and continue, "You can grow to such a level just by relying on self-study. Even the Pavilion Master and I were far inferior to you when we were young."
"Although the Pavilion Master did not really accept you as a disciple, since you have received the Pavilion Master's inheritance of weapon-making skills, you are the real direct disciple of the Pavilion Master of Tiangong Pavilion!"
Cui Lin had a serious expression and spoke word by word.
"You are legitimately the direct disciple of the master of Tiangong Pavilion! Everyone in Tiangong Pavilion, including me, Cui Lin, all acknowledges this."
Cui Lin looked at Zhou Shu and said in a deep voice.
Although Zhou Shu's expression remained calm, his heart was slightly moved.
What does this old guy Cui Lin mean?
He has obviously seen that he, the direct disciple of the master of Tiangong Pavilion, is a fake, why would he still say that?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Zhou Shu's mind.
Cui Lin's reaction was beyond his expectation. Do these Tiangong Pavilion weapon casters like to act so unconventionally?
Seeing Zhou Shu's lack of reaction, Cui Lin already knew not to expect any reaction from Zhou Shu.
He could only continue to talk to himself, "You have inherited the weapon-making skills from the pavilion master, and you are self-taught and have successfully mastered them. Whether it is a tightening curse or a divine weapon, you are the only one in this world——
”
Before Cui Lin finished speaking, Zhou Shu interrupted him.
"You are wrong. Hou Baidong and Jin Kui have mastered the method of casting the tight curse."
Zhou Shu said calmly.
Cui Lin was startled, "You taught the two of them the casting method of the tight curse?"
Cui Lin was really shocked. The casting method of the Tightening Curse was a secret passed down by the master of Tiangong Pavilion. It was a method used by the master of Tiangong Pavilion to control some weapon casters who had just taken refuge and had not yet gained trust.
.
He was actually willing to teach such a secret technique to Hou Baidong and Jin Kui?
Does he not know the preciousness of the tight spell?
Cui Lin looked Zhou Shu up and down. Although the contact time was short, Cui Lin could see that Zhou Shu was not a person without vision. It was impossible for him not to know the preciousness of the tight curse.
If he knew how valuable the Tightening Curse was and was willing to teach it to Hou Baidong and Jin Kui, there would be much meaning in it.
Cui Lin was also lost in thought.
"You continue."
Zhou Shu said without comment.
Cui Lin was silent for a moment, collected his thoughts, and continued, "Let's not talk about the tightening curse for now, let's talk about Yuanshi. If you can use Yuanshi to cast the walls of Tongguan City, it means that you have truly mastered the casting method of Yuanshi's divine weapons.
, this is the real preciousness of the pavilion master’s inheritance.”
Cui Lin's expression became extremely serious. He stared directly at Zhou Shu and said solemnly, "In the world, only the master of the Tiangong Pavilion can master the method of casting the Yuanshi Divine Weapon."
"The only person in the world who has mastered the method of casting the Yuanshi Divine Weapon is the Master of Tiangong Pavilion!"
Cui Lin said it again, and said it in reverse.
Although the meanings of the two sentences sounded similar, Zhou Shu understood what he meant in an instant.
Only the master of the Tiangong Pavilion can master the casting method of the Yuanshi Divine Weapon. The only one who masters the casting method of the Yuanshi Divine Weapon is the Tiangong Pavilion Pavilion Master.
That is, except for the master of Tiangong Pavilion, no one else can master the casting method of the Yuanshi Divine Weapon.
Cui Lin, this old boy, is threatening himself.
What do you mean?
I am not the master of the Tiangong Pavilion, so I cannot master the casting method of the Yuanshi Divine Weapon?
Are you going to kill me to keep this secret?
Or do you want me to be the master of Tiangong Pavilion?
Zhou Shu smiled bitterly in his heart and immediately put the second thought out of his mind.
Cui Lin already suspected that he was not the direct disciple of the master of Tiangong Pavilion, so how could he be allowed to become the master of Tiangong Pavilion?
Isn't this a joke?
Want to kill him?
Zhou Shu snorted in his heart and involuntarily raised his vigilance.
He looked directly at Cui Lin. If this old boy really wanted to take action, it would be impossible. Even if he used all the trump cards in Tongguan City, he and Long Shengwu would still be left behind.
Perhaps the most terrifying thing about Weapon Masters is not their own strength, but the resources they can mobilize and their connections!
As the first deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion, Cui Lin has helped many people forge magical weapons.
If he was allowed to escape, Zhou Shu did not doubt that he would be able to gather a powerful army to destroy Tongguan City.
Cui Lin definitely has this strength.
Zhou Shu's feet exerted a slight force, and his whole body seemed to be connected with Tongguan City. Now, he can call on the power of the entire Tongguan City at any time.
"Don't be nervous."
Cui Lin naturally saw Zhou Shu's reaction clearly.
Cui Lin spread his hands to indicate that he had no intention of taking action.
"Only the master of the Tiangong Pavilion can master the casting method of the Yuanshi Divine Weapon. Since you have mastered the casting method of the Yuanshi Divine Weapon, you are the master of the Tiangong Pavilion."
Cui Lin looked serious and said solemnly.
"What did you say?"
Zhou Shu frowned and couldn't help but say.
He thought about this possibility, but quickly denied it himself.
In his opinion, Cui Lin has seen through his disguise, so the best possibility is to kill him and take back the inheritance of the art of weapon casting from him.
After all, with such a huge foundation of Tiangong Pavilion, how can we hand it over to an outsider?
"I said, you are the master of Tiangong Pavilion!"
Cui Lin looked directly at Zhou Shu and said word by word.
Zhou Shu frowned and fell into silence.
He also looked into Cui Lin's eyes. Cui Lin's eyes were extremely calm, and there was no hint of joking.
"Are you serious?"
Zhou Shu frowned and said, he couldn't understand what Cui Lin meant.
Speaking of which, this is the impact of information asymmetry.
Zhou Shu didn't know that the master of Tiangong Pavilion had died, and he didn't know that Tiangong Pavilion was now on the edge of a cliff and could collapse at any time.
So he found Cui Lin's idea a bit incredible.
"I, Cui Lin, never joke."
Cui Lin said in a deep voice, "My absence for so many days has eliminated all the objections in the cabinet!"
Cui Lin's words revealed the iron-blooded intention, and the murderous aura emanating from his body made Zhou Shu realize that the tall-crowned old man in front of him was not as kind as he seemed.
He is the first deputy head of Tiangong Pavilion, and he is in charge of Tiangong Pavilion, which is almost the largest force in the world under the pseudo-god.
It is no exaggeration to say that if a person like Cui Lin stomps his feet, the world will be shaken.
Killing and decisiveness are just his basic qualities.
If you think that because he looks like a kind old man next door, you think he can't kill people, you are really naive.
All the objections in Tiangong Pavilion were eliminated.
This simple sentence is supported by countless lives.
It is conceivable that even if Cui Lin is the first deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion, it is impossible for all the weapons masters of Tiangong Pavilion to listen to him.
Especially since he wants an unknown boy to be the master of the pavilion.
Cui Lin's so-called elimination of opposition voices means either convincing the opponents or killing the opponents.
The latter is simpler and easier to implement.
Zhou Shu was silent for a while, but he still didn't understand why Cui Lin did this?
Could it be that he wanted to use this to threaten himself, let himself become the master of Tiangong Pavilion, and then become his puppet?
After all, if you take the title of a direct disciple of the Tiangong Pavilion Pavilion Master, if you really take over the position of Tiangong Pavilion Pavilion Master, it would be reasonable to do so reluctantly.
The question is, what if the master of Tiangong Pavilion comes back?
When the time comes, not only himself, but also Cui Lin will be unable to eat and walk around.
Zhou Shu really couldn't figure out the meaning of Cui Lin's actions.
Unless he wants to rebel and usurp the throne!
An idea came to Zhou Shu's mind. Cui Lin wanted to support him as a puppet and then control the strength of Tiangong Pavilion.
He is not afraid that the master of Tiangong Pavilion will come back to liquidate him, because he has no intention of wanting the master of Tiangong Pavilion to come back!
As long as he puts his puppet in power, he can use the power of Tiangong Pavilion to secretly deal with the master of Tiangong Pavilion.
If he can kill the master of Tiangong Pavilion, then his puppet will be useless. Cui Lin can directly destroy his puppet and take the position himself.
If he couldn't kill the Tiangong Pavilion Master, he could also say that he was deceived. After all, Zhou Shu still bore the title of a direct disciple of the Tiangong Pavilion Master.
In this way, Cui Lin can completely shirk his responsibilities.
This Cui Lin is playing a big game of chess.
Zhou Shu secretly sighed in his heart, if he was really what Cui Lin thought, he was just a Wu Zongquan who was born and raised in a remote town. By chance, he inherited the art of weapon casting from the master of Tiangong Pavilion, and then he became self-taught along the way...<
/p>
If that was the case, he really couldn't refuse Cui Lin.
After all, Cui Lin's meaning is already obvious, either he will be the master of Tiangong Pavilion or he will die.
If it were really Wu Zongquan, he would definitely be frightened by Cui Lin.
But Zhou Shu is not, he is not Wu Zongquan at all. He has seen many times more storms and waves in his life than Cui Lin.
The small scene in front of him was not worth mentioning to Zhou Shu.
Cui Lin thought he could scare Zhou Shu, but he didn't know that Zhou Shu was already thinking about killing someone and silencing him.
If he hadn't returned yet after the war, Zhou Shu would have already given the order to kill all the outsiders in Tongguan City.
Cui Lin wanted to threaten him, Zhou Shu, but it was 10,000 years too early!
"Listen carefully, I will only say it once."
Zhou Shu looked at Cui Lin and said calmly, "I have no interest in the position of the master of Tiangong Pavilion. I will not be the master of Tiangong Pavilion. Do you understand?"
While speaking, Zhou Shu stared at Cui Lin unblinkingly. As long as Cui Lin had the slightest intention to take action, Zhou Shu would immediately start building a wall.
Although Zhan is not here, the other two Heavenly Lords of Ancient Heaven are still there, and Lei Tianhe is still there.
Borrowing the power of Tongguan City, Zhou Shu was fully confident that he could kill Long Shengwu and the five others. As for Cui Lin...
Cui Lin's strength is unfathomable, and it may be difficult to kill him, but if he wants to do whatever he wants in Tongguan City, he can't do it!
"You don't want to be the master of Tiangong Pavilion?"
Cui Lin also frowned slightly, looked at Zhou Shu, and said.
He thought about many possibilities, but he never thought about this one.
The master of Tiangong Pavilion is a very important figure in the world. As long as he sits in that position, power and status will all come to him.
How could anyone in this world reject the master of Tiangong Pavilion?
