344, this Tongguan City, suitable for the surname Zhou
How Zhou Shu cast this improved version of the Tightening Curse? To be honest, Jin Kui, who personally participated in the whole process, didn't quite understand.
You know, Jin Kui is the deputy head of the Tiangong Pavilion. In terms of the art of forging weapons, he is one of the best in the world.
Moreover, he still participated in the entire casting process. Even so, he still failed to master the casting of the improved version of the Tightening Curse.
This shows how difficult it is.
It is almost impossible to promote this improved version of the Tightening Curse. If only Zhou Shu can cast it, how many can he cast even if he uses the assembly line casting method?
And if you want to control spiritual insects, the improved version of the tightening curse required is absolutely an astronomical number.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, even if we can cast a sufficient number of tightening spells, it will be useless."
Zhou Shu pondered, "Spiritual insects will continue to be born. We have controlled the spiritual insects outside Tongguan City, but there will continue to be spiritual insects emerging in other places in the world."
"Unless we can ensure that no new spiritual insects will appear again, there is no way to eradicate the plague of spiritual insects."
"The tightening curse we improved is only a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution."
"That's not something our two little armorers can worry about."
Jin Kui said nonchalantly, "We have done what we can do to the extreme. Brother Zongquan, as weapons masters, it is enough for us to do this."
I have to say that the thoughts of Jin Kui and Zhou Shu are still very different.
When Zhou Shu was in his ancestral land, he was almost the king of the human race. He had to consider more than just forging soldiers.
But Jin Kui is a very pure weapon forger, and Tiangong Pavilion is only responsible for casting weapons. City lords like Ge Changlong will naturally worry about other matters, and Jin Kui will not interfere at all.
For example, if this spiritual insect disaster occurs, Jin Kui will naturally help, but he will not take it as his own responsibility.
Fighting against spiritual insects has always been a matter for the warriors, and the weapon builder only needs to be responsible for providing the warriors with magical weapons.
So it's not that Jin Kui didn't know what Zhou Shu said, he was just too lazy to think about it.
As armorers, if they can improve this binding curse, they have completed their mission.
As for how to make them work, that should be the responsibility of the warrior.
"This time we helped Tongguan City retreat from the spirit insect army. Ge Changlong got a big advantage."
Jin Kui touched his chin and said, "You can't be too easy on him, you have to let him bleed some."
Jin Kui turned to see Zhou Shu who was still in a trance, and said, "Brother Zongquan, I am not trying to harm your sworn brother. You don't know that the Ge family is very rich. This time Tongguan City defeated
The spirit insect army is also a big show-off for the Ge family. They will definitely reward Ge Changlong heavily. We will take our fair share, but not too much."
Zhou Shu nodded. He didn't speak. It wasn't that he wanted to reject Jin Kui, but that he was thinking about how to use Mu Yuan to obtain the greatest benefit.
Now that he controls Mu Yuan, although the army of spiritual insects outside Tongguan City cannot be said to be completely unnecessary to worry about, at least it will no longer be a threat in a short period of time.
If Mu Yuan uses some means to control the spirit insect army, then the entire spirit insect army will become his private soldier.
Theoretically, if Zhou Shu were willing now, he could have raised his troops to capture Tongguan City.
However, it is easy to capture Tongguan City, but it is not so easy to defend Tongguan City.
If Zhou Shu really used spirit insects to occupy Tongguan City, he would definitely become the public enemy of the world. After all, humans and spirit insects cannot coexist, which is the consensus of the world.
Once he becomes the public enemy of the world, with Zhou Shu's current strength, there is no need to even think about being able to defend Tongguan City.
For now, Zhou Shu has to continue to keep a low profile.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, do you think that with this credit, can I, the eldest brother, go further?"
Zhou Shu asked thoughtfully.
If Ge Changlong can move up, then he, the deputy city lord of Tongguan City, may become the city lord of Tongguan City.
In that case, he can occupy Tongguan City openly.
"Just repelling the spirit insect army is not enough for him to move up."
Jin Kui pondered, "But it's not impossible if you and I push him together."
Jin Kui said that he was very confident, and he indeed had this confidence.
As the deputy head of Tiangong Pavilion, he still has some power in this world. If he pushes Ge Changlong, the problem will not be big.
And where is Zhou Shu?
In Jin Kui's view, Zhou Shu's status as a direct disciple of the master of Tiangong Pavilion is more useful than himself.
The master of Tiangong Pavilion and the deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion are as different as each other.
Let's put it this way, although the status of the deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion is not low, he can only be regarded as a high-level worker. When they see the false god, they have to give a big gift.
The master of Tiangong Pavilion can stand on an equal footing with the false gods.
If the master of Tiangong Pavilion came forward, it would only be a matter of one sentence to promote Ge Changlong.
Of course, this trivial matter is not worthy of the Tiangong Pavilion Master’s intervention.
Even the direct disciples of the master of Tiangong Pavilion and him, the deputy master, are already overqualified for their talents.
Now that Ge Changlong has the credit, if the two of them push again, there will definitely be no problem with the result.
"Actually, the city lord is a prince, so being the city lord in Tongguan City is a pretty good job."
Jin Kui continued, "If you really work for a false god, you may not be as comfortable as you are now."
Zhou Shu is not very clear about the promotion system in this world, but Ge Changlongshu is uncomfortable, what does it have to do with him?
As long as Ge Changlong gives up his position as city lord, that's all. As for what will happen to Ge Changlong in the future, it's none of his business?
"People go to higher places, but my eldest brother still wants to go further."

Zhou Shu said, "Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, if you have any connections, please do me a favor and help clear the way. I won't need to worry about it, Deputy Pavilion Master Jin..."
While talking, Zhou Shu had already reached a deal with Jin Kui.
……
"A sneeze——"
Ge Changlong rubbed his sore nose. He didn't know it yet, but before he knew it, he had been sold by Zhou Shu.
"What's going on? Why have all the spiritual insects escaped?"
Under Tongguan City, corpses were everywhere, but the raging spiritual insects had receded like the tide.
Ge Changlong is still a little confused now, why did the spirit insects withdraw on their own despite everything going well?
In the past few times, they would never give up until they died.
"Not good, second brother!"
Ge Changlong's expression suddenly changed.
Previously, a spirit insect of the Heavenly Realm broke into Tongguan City. His second brother Wu Zongquan and the deputy head of Tiangong Pavilion Jin Kui were still in the city.
With a heavy step under his feet, Ge Changlong rose into the sky, with a loud bang, and a big pit exploded in the ground.
His figure has disappeared in Tongguan City.
"Bang——"
As soon as Zhou Shu and Jin Kui reached an agreement, Ge Changlong fell from the sky.
"Second brother, Deputy Pavilion Master Jin! It's great that you are all right!"
After seeing that Zhou Shu and Jin Kui were safe and sound, Ge Changlong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If something unexpected happened to the two of them, even if Tongguan City could be saved, it would still be considered a complete failure.
If compared, Zhou Shu and Jin Kui are more valuable than Tongguan City.
If only one of Zhou Shu, Jin Kui and Tongguancheng can survive, let the people above choose. Nine times out of ten, the people above will choose Zhou Shu and Jin Kui.
There are countless small towns like Tongguan City in the world, but there are only a handful of armorers like Zhou Shu and Jin Kui in the world.
In the eyes of the superiors, even all the people in Tongguan City combined are not as valuable as two powerful weapon-casting divisions.
"It really scared me to death. Fortunately, the spirit insect retreated for some reason."
Ge Changlong exhaled and said, "The spirit insect in the Tianzun realm also ran away? Fortunately, he ran away, otherwise——"
"Why are you looking at me like this? Did I say something wrong? If that spiritual insect in the Heavenly Realm hadn't left, you would have been in danger."
Ge Changlong noticed that the expressions of the two people were a little strange, and said with some confusion.
Suddenly, he noticed that the surroundings were in a mess, with traces of fighting everywhere.
"That spirit insect from the Heavenly Realm has already been here, right? Then how did you survive?"
Ge Changlong opened his mouth and it took a while before he made a sound.
"Of course I beat it away."
Jin Kui was very satisfied with Ge Changlong's reaction and said.
"You guys? Knocked away a spirit insect from the Heavenly Realm?"
Ge Changlong said in shock.
"Okay, Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, stop joking."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Brother, thanks to Deputy Pavilion Master Jin this time, otherwise we might really die here."
Zhou Shu told the story of Jin Kui risking his life in the battle, and also told the improved version of the tightening curse.
Of course, what he said can be said.
"You're saying that you and Deputy Pavilion Master Jin improved a magic weapon, and then that magic weapon can control spiritual insects?"
Ge Changlong felt that his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Yes, we are quite lucky. This spirit insect is the queen of the spirit insect group, so all those spirit insects have to obey it. Otherwise, even if we control this spirit insect, we will not be able to force it.
The spirit insects withdraw their troops."
Zhou Shu said casually.
Ge Changlong's eyes fell on the spirit insect lying on the ground lazily with its eyes closed, and he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva involuntarily.
Controlling spiritual insects, she is also the "queen" among the spiritual insects...
Why does this kind of thing sound like a fantasy?
So, the sudden retreat of the spirit insect army was caused by this second brother?
"Second brother, you——"
Ge Changlong really doesn't know what to say.
Is this the person that the master of Tiangong Pavilion likes?
The countless soldiers in Tongguan City were trying their best to stop the army of spiritual insects, but he was able to deal with it so easily?
Ge Changlong used to think that he was a powerful man from Heaven and could be regarded as the elite of this world. Now he realizes that it is no wonder that he was sent to such a remote town. It turns out that there is such a big gap between him and the real elite.
The disciples of the master of Tiangong Pavilion, every time they do something, they are beyond their reach.
"Brother, Tongguan City repelled the spirit insect army, which is a great achievement."
Zhou Shu said with a smile, "Brother, please send this improved version of the tightening curse up again. This time, brother, you will definitely be able to leave Tongguan City and take a step forward."
"What does the improved version of the Spell have to do with me?"
Ge Changlong asked in confusion.
"Of course it does matter. If it hadn't been for your help, big brother, where would we have gotten so many weapons-making materials to try? This time we can succeed, big brother, you are indispensable."
Zhou Shu said seriously.
"But now I don't want to leave Tongguan City."
Ge Changlong all said.
Originally, he thought that Tongguan City was located in a remote area and that he would be overqualified to be the city lord here, so he always wanted to make a meritorious service and leave here.
But now, his mind has changed a bit. Tongguan City is a good place to have his second brother here. It is also good to be the city lord here.
Zhou Shu's face darkened, "Goodbye, as promised, after you leave, I will be the lord of Tongguan City.
If you don’t leave, how can I be the lord of this city?
After all, Ge Changlong is a strong man in the realm of Tianzun, and there is a powerful Ge family behind him. It is really not that easy to kill him.
Zhou Shu still doesn’t want to go to that step unless he has to.
In this situation, he can still take advantage of Ge Changlong, so there is no need to turn against him.
"Brother, you are wrong."
Zhou Shu said with a serious expression, "Although Tongguan City is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time. You and I brothers will have a long time to come. You also know that I may not always stay in Tongguan City in the future. If you stagnate, then the relationship between you and me will be
——"
Although Zhou Shu didn't finish what he said, Ge Changlong also understood it.
Yes, my second brother is the direct disciple of the Tiangong Pavilion Pavilion Master. He will most likely take over as the Tiangong Pavilion Pavilion Master in the future.
The master of Tiangong Pavilion has a higher status than the head of the Ge family. If he stays in Tongguan City and is just a small lord of Tongguan City, then he will not even be qualified to speak to his second brother.
No way.
This is the reality. If I can't keep up with my second brother, then even in the name of the sworn sworn relationship, they will still drift further and further apart.
Thinking of this, Ge Changlong felt a little panicked.
"That's not what I meant."
Ge Changlong said, "Of course I want to go up. I, Ge Changlong, am not a person who is willing to be mediocre. It's okay if I didn't have the opportunity before. Now that I have the opportunity, of course I won't miss it."
"But my second brother, this time I only repelled the spirit insect army and did not completely eliminate them. I'm afraid this credit is not enough for me to go further."
"Brother, don't worry about this."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "I promise to find a good way for you."
I don’t know why, even though he is the lord of Tongguan City, when Zhou Shu said these words, Ge Changlong felt that it was natural.
It's like Zhou Shu's status should naturally be above him.
"In this case, then I can rely on you, my second brother."
Ge Changlong said, "I, Ge Changlong, am truly lucky to meet my second brother."
"Me too."
Zhou Shu said with a smile, "Brother, after you get promoted, don't forget to recommend me to succeed you as the city lord. We have to help each other."
"I understand."
Ge Changlong said with gratitude.
In his opinion, Zhou Shu, as the direct disciple of the Pavilion Master of Tiangong Pavilion, will take over the position of Pavilion Master of Tiangong Pavilion sooner or later in the future. How could he take this small Tongguan City seriously?
Zhou Shu said this just to give him Ge Changlong face.
In this way, it seems like everyone is really helping each other, and he, Ge Changlong, will not owe his second brother this favor.
This is a good brother, he has thought so carefully!
Ge Changlong sighed in his heart.
Of course he didn't know that Zhou Shu had done so many things just to take the position of the lord of Tongguan City.
Only by becoming the city lord of Tongguan City can he truly manage Tongguan City as his own territory, and it can be justified.
Not only Ge Changlong thinks so, Jin Kui actually thinks so too.
In their view, for a small Tongguan City, a direct disciple of the Tiangong Pavilion Master to become the city lord is definitely condescending.
But Jin Kui doesn't care about this little thing at all.
"I'm telling you, you two, if there's anything we can talk about later, can you help me find a doctor for my injury?"
Jin Kui said weakly.
He had been seriously injured before, but it was because the improved version of the tightening curse made him excited that he was able to survive until now.
Now that the excitement had passed, he felt pain all over his body.
"Look at my head!"
Ge Changlong patted his forehead and said, "Don't worry, Deputy Pavilion Master Jin. I still have a healing pill in my hand that was given by the head of the family back then. I guarantee that you will be cured of your illness..."
Before he finished speaking, Jin Kui rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Brother, where is the elixir? Hurry!"
Zhou Shu said helplessly.
Ge Changlong hurriedly took out the elixir and stuffed it into Jin Kui's mouth.
Seeing that Jin Kui's breath gradually calmed down after swallowing the pill, Ge Changlong breathed a sigh of relief.
The deputy head of Tiangong Pavilion died in Tongguan City under his jurisdiction. That would be a major event that would cause the sky to fall. He was about to be promoted, and he did not want to be involved in such a thing.
"By the way, second brother, I haven't congratulated you yet."
Ge Changlong breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Zhou Shu, and said.
"Congratulations?"
Zhou Shu said doubtfully.
"Who is that guard of yours? He has broken through to the Heavenly Realm."
Ge Changlong smiled and said, "It's really amazing. Thinking about how much effort I put in to break through to the Tianzun realm, I didn't expect you, my second brother, to just cultivate a guard into a strong Tianzun."
Did Zhan break through to the Tianzun realm?
This is really like having someone give you a pillow when you feel sleepy!
Zhou Shu was a little surprised. He was about to send Ge Changlong away. Tongguan City was short of a powerful Tianzun to take charge.
If the battle breaks through to the Tianzun realm, then this problem will be easily solved, and double happiness will come to your door!
It seems that this Tongguan City is suitable for the surname Zhou!
"This is not my credit, it is his own talent."
Zhou Shu said with a smile, "Brother, please take care of Deputy Pavilion Master Jin. I'll go see my guard. In addition, I have to take this spirit insect to make some arrangements. Before you get promoted, brother, you can't let those spirit insects
