Chapter 102 Haitang: Grandmaster Wuzhu? He smells really good! (23)
Haitang Duoduo was not surprised at all when she heard Li Changan's name.
Now that the Grand Master of Nanqing has taken action, the Grand Master of Beiqi must also kill someone of importance.
This is how strategic weapons are used. Once you fire the first shot, you cannot restrict where the opponent will fire the second shot.
Therefore, in most cases, the use of strategic weapons means a fight to the death.
Perhaps, this is how the nuclear war started 200,000 years ago.
However, Ku He and Si Gu Jian did not know that Emperor Qing, the hidden grandmaster, would definitely endure it.
He would not allow a battle between grandmasters to take place between the two sides because of Ku He's equal revenge, because that would expose Emperor Qing's identity as a grandmaster.
He was planning an opportunity, waiting for a perfect chance, to eliminate Si Gu Jian and Ku He and completely clear the obstacles to unifying the world.
He had already started making these plans a long time ago and would never allow any unexpected circumstances to disrupt them.
The most powerful person in the original novel is Emperor Qing, not only because he is the most powerful master, but also because of his strong character and forbearance.
For Northern Qi, Emperor Qing, the eldest princess, Prince Yong, Chen Pingping, and Qin Ye, these five people pose the greatest threat to Northern Qi.
Emperor Qing is in charge of the overall situation, the eldest princess holds the financial power of the inner treasury, Chen Pingping is the head of the secret service, and Qin Ye is a veteran in the army.
Li Changan made Northern Qi lose its advantage in the literary world, but this alone was not enough to make Ku He hate him.
What infuriated Ku He the most was that Li Changan actually resorted to summoning a spirit to possess him and made himself the only one with a heavenly vein.
This made Ku He, who always respected gods, very angry!
Ku He had never heard of the gods descending to the earth. If it had been before going to the temple, Ku He would even have been scared by Li Changan's tricks.
But Ku He had seen the temple with his own eyes. If someone who had nothing to do with the temple claimed to be a god, Ku He would certainly not believe it at all.
Therefore, Ku He has determined that Li Changan is cheating people by performing magic tricks, and has also made the Heavenly Vein Master Haitang Duoduo, whom he has appointed, a fake.
Nan Qing, who has never had a high level of respect for gods, actually wants to seize the right to speak on religion, which is unacceptable to Ku He.
Haitang Duoduo said cautiously, "Master, the Queen Mother and His Majesty have different ideas from yours."
"They have already begun to build momentum in Nanqing, saying that Prince Yong is more talented than the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, and should be made the Crown Prince."
"Since Prince Yong is a person of heaven, then he is destined by heaven and will surely rule the world in the future!"
"I believe that it won't be long before Emperor Qing becomes suspicious of Prince Yong, and he might even defect to Northern Qi."
In the eyes of Queen Mother Wei and Zhan Doudou, if a literary giant like Li Changan were recruited by Northern Qi, it would bring great benefits to Northern Qi.
Ku He has always been gentle, but in this matter, she did not give in at all.
He was the most powerful ascetic monk in the Northern Wei Dynasty, once the greatest country in the world, and was also considered by the world to be the person closest to the gods.
He had seen fairies before and was the leader of the Tianyi Sect of Northern Qi. He could not tolerate anyone blaspheming the gods at will.
He would not allow anyone to be closer to the gods than him, or to treat his lifelong devout faith as a plaything or tool!
"No! God is so holy, how can he be played by someone so easily?
Li Changan's behavior is a blasphemy against the gods!"
"I don't care what kind of literary giant he is or how he writes poetry or paints."
"He blasphemed the gods and must die!"
Ku He's voice was filled with unquestionable anger.
As Ku He's last disciple, Haitang had never seen such an expression on her master's face.
It seems that Ku He, who has always been extremely pious to the gods, was really angry this time.
Haitang Duoduo understood that Ku He wanted to kill Li Changan not just for revenge.
But it was because Li Changan touched his master's reverse scale!
At this moment, Ku He's ancient Buddha-like expression suddenly fluctuated a little.
There was a light sound in his ears, without any fluctuation of true energy, but it contained endless power!
"he came!"
Ku He had just been talking about Li Changan, and now he suddenly said this. Hai Tang stood up suddenly after hearing it.
"Who! Who's here? How could Li Changan know this place?"
Ku He discovered that when Haitang mentioned Li Changan, there was a hint of panic in her eyes.
Could it be that this disciple knows Li Changan?
They probably just had a fight on the North Sea coast, and had no other contact apart from that.
"It's not Li Changan, it's an old friend."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man's voice was heard outside the cave waterfall.
"I know you're here."
Ku He stood up and walked slowly to the waterfall. Through the water curtain, he saw the still young face.
"Wuzhu, I haven't seen you for many years, but you haven't changed."
Haitang Duoduo followed Ku He and saw a young man with his eyes covered by a black cloth from afar.
She immediately thought that this was the grandmaster mentioned in the intelligence!
"Master, he is the great master from Nanqing!"
Wuzhu, holding a steel chisel, stood on a bamboo raft, floating in the river, and spoke to the cave in the waterfall.
"I lost my memory. I don't remember much about you."
Ku He continued, "You came here for that young man, who is he to you?"
Wu Zhu did not answer, but said, "I am here to give you a beating."
Ku He frowned and said, “I can teach you the method of condensing sword energy.
When I lend it out, I don’t know what the person is going to do with it.”
Wu Zhu's voice still showed no emotion.
"It doesn't matter. Fan Xian was seriously injured because of you, so you deserve to be beaten."
After hearing Wuzhu's words, Haitang Duoduo refused to agree.
"As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime. My master has no idea who Fan Xian is, and has no intention of harming him."
"Your name is Wuzhu, right? How can you be so unreasonable?"
Wuzhu turned his neck and answered Haitang's question according to his understanding.
"It's not that I'm unreasonable, but because... I'm not a human being."
Hearing Wuzhu's words, Haitang felt angry and amused, and picked up the two axes behind her.
Ku He said, "Wu Zhu, my last disciple, please show mercy."
Wu Zhu nodded and said, "Let her come over, you can rest assured."
"I only know how to kill people, not the sneaky methods that can destroy their true energy."
As he was speaking, Haitang Duoduo had already flown out of the waterfall, and two axes were in front of Wuzhu in the blink of an eye.
Wuzhu kept the hand holding the iron rod behind his back and only used his free left hand to attack.
Haitang Duoduo didn't feel any true energy, but both of her wrists were hit, and the axe attack was easily resolved.
She tapped the raft with her foot, jumped up, and chopped down with an axe.
This axe is filled with internal energy, and it can easily cut gold and jade.
But Wuzhu's body suddenly moved, and Haitang Duoduo didn't even see how he moved.
Haitang's axe was still moving and was about to hit Wuzhu's bamboo raft.
Wuzhu gave a light push with his left hand, and Haitang felt a huge force on her lower back!
With a splash of water, Haitang was pushed to the shore more than ten feet away.
"It almost chopped up my raft."
Haitang has already discovered that the two of them are not on the same level at all.
Her speed and strength were far behind Wuzhu. It was the first time that Haitang Duoduo fought against a grandmaster, and she truly realized the gap between them.
She shouted at the waterfall, "Master, he is really not a human being!"
"Without true qi, how can there be such a fast speed and such great power!"
As she shouted, Wuzhu rushed into the waterfall, and the two grandmasters had already started fighting.
Haitang saw that the surface of the waterfall was cut off by Ku He again and again, and every punch and palm of Ku He was filled with majestic true energy.
The entire cave was filled with violent muffled noises, and the rocks at the entrance of the cave were smashed into pieces.
But Wuzhu's moves were not fancy at all, there were only afterimages left by the steel drill.
"What's his background? He has no true energy. Is he practicing martial arts?"
"Boom!"
Ku He pushed out with one palm, and the cave where he was temporarily living was completely destroyed!
The two men fought from the waterfall to the air, and the aftermath of the true energy from Ku He's punch was enough to flatten a mountain!
The valley was instantly unrecognizable, with sand and rocks flying everywhere!
Wuzhu still doesn’t have any amazing moves, but he is fast and powerful.
The two men fought for half an hour, and the surrounding terrain had been completely turned into a desert.
The original waterfalls have been changed and all the trees have been shattered.
Haitang Duoduo was greatly enlightened. Once upon a time, she thought she was only a little bit away from becoming a grandmaster.
Now it seems that the difference may be just a few hundred million.
Ku He and Wu Zhu stood facing each other. Ku He's hands were shaking, and his bald head was covered with dust and no longer shiny.
Liquid flowed out of Wuzhu's lower abdomen, but he covered it with his hands so that no one could see the yellow color.
"Bring it here."
Ku He took out a secret book with a hint of anger, "Take it, and don't bother me again!"
Wu Zhu looked through the secret book for a while, then nodded.
"Bald, take good care of your things from now on."
At this time, Haitang also flew over.
She sniffed the scent of high-molecular-weight clean kerosene in the air.
"Grandmaster Wuzhu, you smell really good and have really good skin. How do you take care of it?"
Wu Zhu held the secret book in his hand and answered mechanically, "It was born this way."
He took two steps forward, then suddenly staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, one of Wuzhu's legs bent outward at a strange angle, and then he limped away.
Haitang Duoduo waved her fist, "In the battle between the Grandmasters, Master Tianyi Dao Kuhe wins!"
She turned around and found that her Grandmaster Master was sitting cross-legged with his head hanging down, unconscious.
This scene scared Haitang Duoduo, it turned out that her master had suffered a greater loss.
At this time, Haitang Duoduo suddenly felt the surrounding sand and dust shaking slightly, and the vitality of heaven and earth in the air seemed to be a lot richer.
Ku He's torn sleeves and several cracked skin spots were trembling slightly.
This is absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth!
What kind of method is this, Master? He absorbs the vital energy of heaven and earth so violently that even the naked eye can see it!
Haitang did not dare to be careless and sat opposite Kuhe to protect her.
It was not until a day and a night had passed that Ku He slowly opened his eyes.
"In order to prevent the secret method of recovery from being revealed, Wu Zhu almost beat me to death."
He has made great progress in evolving Western magic, and it is not just as simple as condensing sword energy and true qi.
Now Ku He can integrate his true Qi with the vital energy of nearby heaven and earth and repair himself quickly.
Haitang said excitedly, "Master, you should be able to recover soon, right?"
Ku He smiled bitterly and said, "It's quick to recover your health, but it may take more than half a year or even a year to recover your original strength."
Haitang Duoduo stuck out her tongue. Ku He was injured more seriously than ever before.
Ku He took a breath, then slowly said, "I will find another place to recover my strength, so you don't have to follow me."
Haitang understood what he meant. How could the grandmaster, who was seriously injured and recovering from his injuries, tell others the location without authorization?
Even at this time, Ku He still hasn't forgotten Li Changan.
"Please ask the Queen Mother to warn Nan Qing in a letter and tell him to stop playing games with the gods."
"Nanqing used the Grand Master without authorization. The Imperial Master will personally take action to kill a key figure in Nanqing!"
Haitang Duoduo asked doubtfully, "Who are you going to kill without naming them?"
Ku He smiled and said, "Wu Zhu killed Tie Xiang, Nan Qing can guess that I will definitely take revenge."
"I'm injured now and can't do anything right away. With Wuzhu's personality, he won't let anyone know that I'm injured."
"Once this letter is sent out, many people in Nanqing will be in a state of panic."
Although he cannot take any action, he can still make people panic. This is the power of the grandmaster.
After Ku He finished speaking, he turned around and took a step. After three steps, Hai Tang could no longer see his figure.
Two days later, Haitang Duoduo returned to Beijing and told the empress dowager and the little emperor about Ku He.
Queen Mother Wei and Zhan Doudou only pretended to be at odds on the surface, but they were actually playing a double game in order to consolidate power in the court.
Queen Mother Wei asked, "Duoduo, does the Imperial Master have to kill Li Changan?"
Haitang Duoduo replied, "Master hates Li Changan's behavior of inviting gods very much."
At this time, Zhan Doudou suggested, "Mother, once this letter is sent out, the people in Nanqing who will be nervous are Chen Pingping, Qin Ye, Li Yunrui and the like."
"Not many people in this world know the character of Master Ku He. I guess even Li Changan himself could not have imagined that Master Ku He would definitely kill him."
"What I am thinking is to take advantage of Li Changan's visit to Da Qi to attend the Longmen Poetry Festival and set up a trap to keep him here, so that Emperor Qing will think he is planning to betray the country."
"When Li Changan becomes one of Northern Qi's own, let him kowtow to the Imperial Master and admit his fault. I believe the Imperial Master will not kill him."
Queen Mother Wei said approvingly, "Your Highness has a good idea, killing two birds with one stone."
"Firstly, Master Ku He's chance to make a move can be used to kill Chen Pingping or Qin Ye. Wouldn't that be better?"
"Secondly, after I win over Li Changan, I will form a literary duo with Master Zhuang! The literary world of Da Qi will once again lead the world!"
The Queen Mother, the little emperor, and Haitang Duoduo discussed it again and again and felt that it was entirely possible.
Li Changan's reputation is growing, and the two princes of Nanqing must be very wary of him.
Moreover, he is only at the eighth level in cultivation. As long as he dares to come to Da Qi, he will definitely be able to stay.
The three women felt that Da Qi would make a fortune by then!
Nanqing, Inspection Office.
Chen Pingping was grunting while doing rehabilitation exercises when suddenly a piece of paper covered his face.
"Shadow! What are you doing!?"
A shadow suddenly jumped out after hearing the shouting, and then found that Chen Pingping was staring at the paper, his eyes fixed!
"Dean, I didn't do this!"
Chen Pingping's face was silent, and then a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his face.
"It's faster than yours, could it be Wuzhu who did it?"
"Don't worry about that for now, let's arrest Guo Youzhi's driver first!"
"Interrogate him overnight and ask him whether he has taken Zhuang Mohan to see the princess!"
