350, Yuanshi was stolen, ordered to catch the culprit
"Brother Zongquan, the method of casting the tight curse is secretly passed down by the Pavilion Master. If you do this..."
In the Wu Mansion, only Zhou Shu, Ge Changlong and Jin Kui were left.
Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng have already left, leaving only soldier-making materials on the ground.
They came fiercely and left simply. As for what the two of them thought, no one cared.
Jin Kui hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak.
He really couldn't understand why Zhou Shu sold the casting method of the tight curse to Hou Baidong.
It's just some weapon-making materials, it's not worth it at all.
If he wants materials for forging weapons, as long as he takes over the Tiangong Pavilion, how much will he want?
Selling the casting method of the Tightening Curse for a few materials for forging soldiers is a waste of money.
The most important thing is, isn't he afraid of arousing the anger of the Pavilion Master by doing this?
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, your mind is still not enough."
Zhou Shu smiled slightly and said, "Didn't I tell you? Weaponsmiths have no national boundaries. If we want to develop the art of weapon forging, we cannot rest on our laurels."
"Besides, it's just a casting method that tightens the spell."
Zhou Shu said calmly, "So what if Hou Baidong learns it?"
So what?
Jin Kui's eyes widened.
That is the casting method of a tight curse!
Hou Baidong, a bastard, was already ranked third among the eight deputy pavilion masters. Now that he has obtained the method of casting the Tightening Curse, his ranking is likely to rise even further.
Maybe, he can become the number one deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion in one fell swoop!
He ranks first, what should I do?
I am still thinking of assisting you to become the master of Tiangong Pavilion, and then I will become the number one deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion!
However, Jin Kui had no choice. The method of casting the tight curse was in Zhou Shu's hands. He had no control over what Zhou Shu did.
"Second brother, your ambition is unparalleled in the world, but to be honest, I think you are a little hasty."
Ge Changlong also said, "Just because you have such ambition, it doesn't mean that others do too. If you disclose the secret recipe for making weapons, others will learn your secret technique, but other people's secret techniques may not be told to you."
"I have seen many cases of disciples starving to death and their masters starving to death."
"I think your secret weapon-making method is very precious, and it shouldn't be so cheap, then Hou Baidong!"
Ge Changlong said in a deep voice.
Zhou Shu smiled slightly and said, "You are thinking too much. The reason why I sold the secret method of casting the Tightening Curse to Hou Baidong is just because the casting method of the Tightening Curse is nothing at all."
"Hou Baidong regards it as a treasure, but in my opinion, it is nothing more than that."
"Let me tell you this, there are more precious things than the casting method of the tight curse. I have many more here."
Ge Changlong is a layman and doesn't know what Zhou Shu's words mean, but Jin Kui is a weapon maker.
Not only is he a weapon maker, but he is also the deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion.
He knows better than anyone else that the secret method of casting the Tightening Curse is a secret passed down by the master of the Tiangong Pavilion. Over the years, there have been weapons casters trying to crack this secret method, but no one has ever succeeded.
You know, Tiangong Pavilion has never lacked talented weapon builders, but even so, no one has succeeded.
It is conceivable that the casting method of the Tightening Curse is not as trivial as Zhou Shu said.
The casting method of the tight hoop is definitely one of the most precious secrets of casting weapons in the world!
But now Zhou Shu actually said that he had many more precious methods of forging weapons than the casting method of the tight band, which couldn't help but make Jin Kui's heart become hot.
He didn't think Zhou Shu was lying, because only in this way could he explain why Tong Zhou Shu was willing to sell the casting method of the Tightening Curse to Hou Baidong.
He now feels more and more that assisting Zuo Zhou Shu may be the most correct decision he has ever made in his life.
In Zhou Shu's hands, there is actually a casting method that is more precious than the tightening curse!
"Brother Zongquan, there are some things I must remind you."
Jin Kui said in a deep voice, "Hou Baidong is a man who talks sweetly but hides a sword in his smile. He is the eighth deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion. In terms of insidiousness and cunning, this man can definitely be ranked first!"
"Don't look at the amount of materials he just paid for making weapons, but based on my understanding of him, he is definitely not someone who is willing to deal fairly with you."
"You mean, he will still want to take back these weapon-making materials?"
Ge Changlong asked.
"Want to go back?"
Zhou Shu seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "I'm afraid Deputy Pavilion Master Jin means that Hou Baidong will pull some tricks behind his back. Take these things back. Maybe he will take my life away too."
"It turns out that Brother Zongquan has already thought of this."
Jin Kui said, "Hou Baidong is not a good person. The reason why he was so cooperative with you just now is because he hasn't figured out your details yet, otherwise he would never be so easy to talk to."
"Based on what I know about him, when he has enough confidence, he will definitely attack you as soon as possible. He will never give up what you have on you."
"He dares!"
Ge Changlong said angrily, "This is Tongguan City. As long as I, Ge Changlong, am still the lord of Tongguan City, and as long as I still have breath, no one can even think of hurting my second brother at all!"
The momentum on Ge Changlong's body exploded uncontrollably, and the chair under his butt shattered into countless pieces with a loud bang.
"Of course he dares."
Jin Kui said coldly, "Not only will he take action, but the sixth elder of your Ge family will not stand idly by!"
"Ge Changlong, do you think they came all the way here just to deliver weapons-making materials to Brother Zongquan? Don't be naive, they will never give up their plan."
"When they come here, they don't care about the true identity of brother Zongquan at all! What they value is the value of brother Zongquan! A man is not guilty of the crime of carrying a treasure! Such a simple truth, Ge Changlong, don't you understand?"<
/p>
"I'm not afraid that you will know that the Pavilion Master has not been seen for many years. There have been various rumors in the Pavilion for a long time. Some people say that the Pavilion Master has encountered something unexpected, so he has not shown up for so many years. Many people have been ready to make a move.
."
"Brother Zongquan's identity would have been extremely noble when the Pavilion Master was still there, but now, this identity may not be just a talisman!"
"Hou Baidong has been coveting the position of Pavilion Master for a long time. Now that he has this opportunity, he will never let it go. Just watch, it may take a few days or a few months. He will definitely find an opportunity to attack Brother Zongquan.
Start!"
Jin Kui analyzed.
The person who knows a person best is always his opponent.
Jin Kui and Hou Baidong are competitors, and he knows a lot about Hou Baidong.
"In fact, if you want me to say, brother Zongquan, your best choice now is to leave Tongguan City, find a place where no one can find you, hide, and wait until your cultivation reaches the realm of Tianzun before you come out.
That way, no one can hurt you."
Jin Kui suggested.
It can be seen that he really plans to stand with Zhou Shu.
Otherwise, he could choose to directly plot Zhou Shu's things like Hou Baidong.
Of course, Jin Kui is also here for Zhou Shu's things, but he chooses conspiracy. As long as he and Zhou Shu stand on the same front, will he still worry about not being able to learn the secret techniques of forging weapons? p>
"Hiding? That's not my style."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "I will not leave Tongguan City. Tongguan City is my home. Anyone who wants to destroy Tongguan City must first ask me whether I agree."
"As for Hou Baidong, I am already on guard. Although he is very strong, it is not that easy for him to attack me in Tongguan City."
"Besides, aren't there Deputy Pavilion Master Jin and my eldest brother? Don't you think so, eldest brother? Are you still going to watch Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng attack me?"
Zhou Shu asked.
"Of course not."
Ge Changlong said, "A strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake, and I, Ge Changlong, am not that easy to bully! Don't worry, second brother, as long as I am still here, they will not even think of hurting you even a hair!"
Ge Changlong was extremely confident, but Jin Kui sighed.
Hou Baidong is not only unpredictable in his own strength, but most importantly, he is very scheming. No one knows what conspiracy he will use.
He will not come here openly. In order to achieve his goal, he will do anything!
"Since you said so, then I have no choice but to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman."
Jin Kui sighed and said, "But we still have to be prepared. Hou Baidong is definitely a difficult character to deal with!"
……
While Zhou Shu, Jin Kui and Ge Changlong were discussing, in the city lord's palace belonging to Ge Changlong, Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng had already occupied the dove's nest.
After all, Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng's status is far higher than that of Ge Changlong. They came to Tongguan City in person, and Ge Changlong treated them as distinguished guests both emotionally and rationally.
Now that Ge Changlong has not come back, the city lord's mansion is equivalent to the two of them's mansion.
"Pavilion Master Hou, you can swallow this breath, but I can't! I must kill that Wu Zongquan!"
Ge Zhenfeng roared angrily, "I, Ge Zhenfeng, have never been so angry in my life!"
"Sixth Elder, those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. You can't achieve great things like this."
Hou Baidong said expressionlessly, "If such a small thing makes you so angry, what if something bigger happens?"
"He's just a clown, so what if we let him be proud for a while?"
"Master Hou, what do you mean? Do you have a way to deal with that boy named Wu?"
Ge Zhenfeng's eyes lit up and he said in a deep voice, "That boy controls the spirit insects. What if he lets the army of spirit insects attack Tongguan City..."
"Do you really believe that he can control an army of spiritual insects?"
Hou Baidong said disdainfully, "Controlling a spiritual insect and controlling an army of spiritual insects are two different things. The spiritual insect he controls cannot be the king of the spiritual insect group."
He glanced at Ge Zhenfeng. Ge Zhenfeng was full of joy and anger. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to plan with Ge Zhenfeng.
But then again, he has no other choice now.
This is Tongguan City, a place where the power of Tiangong Pavilion cannot reach. The few Heavenly Lords under him alone are not enough to cover the sky with one hand. He also needs Ge Zhenfeng's help.
"Sixth Elder, as long as you listen to me, I guarantee that you can get rid of the bad breath today!"
Hou Baidong hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke.
……
"Have you heard any news?"
Zhan looked at Mu Zhixing and asked.
The situation in Tongguan City is changing. Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng are not good people. Zhan naturally knows this.
Without Zhou Shu's instructions, he had already arranged for Mu Zhixing to go out to find out the news.
Inquiring about information is like a fish in water for Mu Zhixing.
"I'm telling you, things are in trouble right now."
Mu Zhixing said in a deep voice, "That Hou Baidong brought more than three powerful Heavenly Masters!"
"Just when he took people to the Wu Mansion, I discovered that there were two powerful Tianzun men who went to the Yuanshi Mine!"
"There are two more powerful Tianzuns?"
Zhan's heart sank.
On their side, he is the only one who has broken through to the realm of Heavenly Lord. Even if Jin Kui and Ge Changlong are included, there are only three powerful Heavenly Lords on their side.
As for Hou Baidong, as far as we know, there are already eight or nine powerful Tianzuns!
"We are also the deputy heads of Tiangong Pavilion, how come the gap is so big? Look at Hou Baidong's scene, and then look at Jin Kui——"
Mu Zhixing clicked his tongue.
As the deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion, Jin Kui only has one Tianzun guard.
"What did they do in Yuanshi Mine?"
Zhan frowned.
"How do I know?"
Mu Zhixing shrugged and said, "It's not easy for me to find out their existence. They are powerful people. I don't dare to get too close. If they find out, I won't be able to run away!" "They are here to cause trouble for us. It is impossible to send two powerful Tianzun people to Yuanshi Mine for no reason. They must have some plan!"
Zhan said in a deep voice.
"That's not necessarily true. Yuanshi is so precious. If he lost one, Ge Changlong almost turned the entire Tongguan City upside down. That guy Hou Baidong looked greedy at first glance. He couldn't tell, but he wanted to steal some.
Yuanshi..."
Mu Zhixing curled his lips and said.
"What did you say?"
Zhan's eyes suddenly flashed and he said in a deep voice.
"I said he wanted to steal some Yuanshi."
Mu Zhixing said with some confusion, isn't this normal?
Who doesn’t want to put good things in their pocket?
If he, Mu Zhixing, wasn't temporarily not strong enough, he would have wanted to steal some Yuanshi and come back to play.
"Not good!"
Zhan said in a deep voice.
Before he finished speaking, suddenly, several tyrannical auras rose into the sky in the distance.
"What's going on?"
Mu Zhixing was stunned, looking at the auras in the distance, but he didn't react for a while.
"Everyone obeys the order and protects you at all costs!"
Zhan shouted, before he finished speaking, he had turned into a ray of light and headed towards the direction of Zhou Shu.
A moment later, he had arrived at Zhou Shu's side.
"Sir, it's not good, then Hou Baidong may want to frame us and frame us for stealing Yuanshi!"
Zhan said in a deep voice.
Yuanshi is a sacred prohibition that no one can possess privately.
Hiding Yuanshi secretly is a capital crime!
"Hou Baidong, do you still have such a brain?"
Zhou Shu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, a look of appreciation flashed across his face.
He was still thinking about what methods Hou Baidong would use to deal with him.
He even thought that Hou Baidong would directly lead the powerful Tianzun to launch a sap sneak attack.
But I didn't expect that he would actually make a fuss about Yuanshi.
Hou Baidong, isn't he afraid of provoking Sheng Sheng?
"Sir, we can't take the risk of staying here. There are at least eight powerful Tianzun on Hou Baidong's side. We are no match."
Zhan said in a deep voice, "Now that he has falsely accused us of stealing Yuanshi, no matter from which angle we look at it, we must cooperate with the investigation. Once we fall into his hands, it will be dangerous!"
This Hou Baidong is more terrifying than Ge Changlong.
They were lucky to have escaped from the Yuanshi Mine. If they fell into Hou Baidong's hands and were guarded by several powerful Tianzun men, it would be almost impossible for them to escape again.
"Leave? Do you think Hou Baidong will let us go?"
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "If I guessed correctly, there are already people waiting for us outside Tongguan City."
"If we really escape, we will play into their hands. When the time comes, it will appear that we are extremely guilty."
"Don't worry, what's fake can't be true, and what's true can't be fake. If he wants to frame us, we have to see if he has the ability."
"But Hou Baidong accidentally encountered the truth..."
Zhou Shu's voice was so low that even Zhan couldn't hear the last sentence clearly.
In this instant, those soaring auras had already arrived outside the Wu Mansion.
Outside the Wu Mansion, there were shouts and shouts, and then dozens of figures flew out.
But everyone in Gu Tianting was defeated in an instant.
"The lord of Tongguan City, Ge Changlong, the deputy lord Wu Zongquan, and the deputy lord of Contract Tiangong Pavilion, Jin Kui, stole Yuanshi. They committed a heinous crime. We are ordered to capture Wu Zongquan and bring him back. If there is resistance, we will kill him without mercy!"
A loud shout rang out over the Wu Mansion.
The aura belonging to the powerful Tianzun instantly enveloped the entire Wu Mansion.
The entire Wu Mansion was completely surrounded in an instant, and not even a fly could fly out!
"My lord!"
The heart of Zhan was already raised. This Hou Baidong was really ruthless. He even framed Ge Changlong and Jin Kui together!
There are at least five powerful Tianzuns around the Wu Mansion. If you want to leave now, you have lost your last chance.
"Sir, I've tried my best, but I'm still 30% sure that I can cover your departure."
Zhan whispered, "Don't hesitate, let's go!"
"No need to fight hard."
Zhou Shu patted Zhan on the shoulder and said, "General, believe me, there are many people in this world who can kill me, but this does not include Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng."
"In Tongguan City, they want to kill me, but you are daydreaming."
"Dan Dingdian, let's go and meet Hou Baidong for a while."
While talking, Zhou Shu walked out with his hands behind his back, raising his voice as he walked.
"Wu Zongquan is here. I will go with you to see Hou Baidong. Don't hurt innocent people, otherwise I will definitely keep you all here even if I pay some price!"
"Don't doubt whether I can do it. There is nothing I have ever said in my life that I can't do!"
There was no emotion in his voice, but for some reason, those powerful Heavenly Masters all felt a chill in their hearts and subconsciously stopped moving their hands.
"As long as you are arrested without restraint, we will not harm innocent people. The only person we want to arrest is you!"
A powerful Tianzun said.
"Where is Hou Baidong? Lead the way."
Zhou Shu didn't even look at the strong man that day, and said coldly.
