Chapter 2542: Killing Intentions to Prevent Future Troubles

The problem is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth, which exists everywhere.

When no one has anything, no one will care so much, but once the balance is broken, the mentality will inevitably be unbalanced.

Everyone understands the principle, but everyone has their own ways of doing things.

For Hong Ku, something that is powerful enough to break the balance of the Yedihe Holy Land can only be eaten by himself and there is no way he can share it.

The atmosphere in Chang'an City was still grim, and soldiers from the Southern and Northern Armies were conducting large-scale searches from house to house in the city.

Hong Ku also hid for several days before he found an opportunity to enter the city.

"The little thing is cheating me again!"

After delivering ten iron bars and other items, Hong Ku successfully obtained "Corpse Son" from Rong Tianding, and also found this secret technique called Nanming Fire.

As the name suggests, the secret technique is an extremely confidential technique that is kept very secret.

Only the head of the Shijiao school is familiar with the Nanming Fire, and most of the time it is used to suppress internal faction, and it has no reputation at all to the outside world.

Hong Ku stayed at Rong's house for three days and studied "Corpse Son" for three days. He finally determined that he did not have the conditions to practice.

If he modifies the Nanming Fire, there is a high probability that the nature of the flame will be changed, thus turning it into an ordinary Yin Fire, which will not be able to play the role of breaking the law. If he does not modify it, he may burn himself while practicing, and he may even kill himself before he can use it against other people.

After thinking over and over again, Hong Ku felt that although Nanminghuo was good, he couldn't last long.

The only thing Hong Ku wanted was to master the Nanming Fire. It was impossible for Hong Ku to use "Shi Zi" to train a student. On the one hand, the inheritance of the Shi Jiao school required study, and his cross-school study would take a long time. On the other hand, it was impossible for Hong Ku to train a knife that could kill himself.

He cursed softly, obviously not satisfied with the result.

But Hong Ku's heart inexplicably relaxed.

The destruction of the Shijiao school made it difficult to pass on the "Shizi" technique, which also meant that there were few cultivators who could use the backlash of the dark curse to break the yang soul body.

Simply put, the sorcerers of the Yehe Holy Land currently have no natural enemies.

"What Nanming Fire? Humph!"

His face was gloomy for a long time, and Hong Ku brought an oil lamp.

The lamp oil poured on the animal skin book "Corpse Son" also ignited flames.

He repeatedly wanted to kill Rong Tianding and put an end to it all, but the moans of the woman in Zhang Xuezhou's room next door could be heard from time to time, and Hong Ku forced himself to suppress his murderous intention.

The room was full of ordinary people, and Zhang Xuezhou was ill, so killing Rong Tianding almost pushed Zhang Xuezhou into a dead end.

"Whatever, whatever. You helped me that day and allowed me to step into the seat of the Venerable. I can't be so heartless!"

Hiromu sighed deeply.

Looking at Zhang Xuezhou's development situation, he did not expect Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding to become the backbone of the Han Dynasty court and then compete with the Yedihe Holy Land.

"If I need anything, I can still borrow someone from Wu Jin!"

Hong Ku cannot learn it himself, and he does not want to cultivate a weapon that can kill himself, but Hong Ku can lend it to Rong Tianding when necessary.

He wasn't sure if he had such a need, but it was nice to have a thought.

Hong Ku originally wanted to cut the roots of the trouble to avoid future troubles, but eventually gave up the idea.

Even though he knew that he had suffered a loss at the hands of Zhang Xuezhou, Hong Ku accepted it.

"teacher!"

The groaning sounds from the next room finally subsided, and Hong Ku also welcomed the neatly dressed Zhang Xuezhou.

"Your illness is quite strange. You actually need to use a woman as a cauldron!"

Hong Ku raised his head and saw Zhang Xuezhou's face was as white as jade, without any signs of being drained by a woman. He stared at him with no understanding, and could only make a curious joke. "My student was manipulated by the monks of the Huainan Palace, and I can only rely on the help of a woman with a pure yin body," Zhang Xuezhou said with a bow.

"Oh? Could it be that you have fallen under a spell?" Hong Kuqi asked.

"I don't know what means they used. I just went to the banquet at the Huainan Palace and drank two pots of Yuzhongshao. Then I passed out. They rescued me and sent me a woman to treat my illness," said Zhang Xuezhou.

"Who do you suspect did it?" Hong Ku said.

"Liu Ling, the Princess of Huainan Palace, was the one who repeatedly urged me to drink!"

"Princess Liu Ling... Women who can be around emperors and princes have some seductive skills. This skill is passed down from girl to girl, not boy to boy. You must have been seduced by someone!"

Hong Ku was in Uttarakuru and had limited knowledge of Jambudvīpa, but it was not difficult for him to judge the situation.

"Is there anything about you that is worthy of a princess from the Huainan Palace to use her charm to explore?" Hong Ku asked.

"Perhaps it was the copy of 'The Corpse' that you burned!"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed.

Although it was a pity that the inherited classics of the Shijiao School were burned, Zhang Xuezhou was not disappointed. Not to mention that he had already made records of the relevant content in reality, Rong Tianding had also recited them a lot over the years and only lacked the ability to fully understand them.

It was no different from what Zhang Xuezhou had expected. It was useless for Hong Ku to study "Shi Zi". This was not something that Hong Ku could learn at all.

However, Hong Ku's burning of "Corpse" must mean that the other party is trying to eliminate future troubles. It is possible that the other party has murderous intentions at the moment. Zhang Xuezhou can only divert the trouble without making a sound.

"Oh, you told Liu Ling about "Corpse Son"? " Hong Ku asked.

"I was unconscious at the time and didn't know what I said at all," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and said, "But I thought about it again and again afterwards and felt that I was only useful in so many ways. She couldn't possibly ask me to say an incomplete Heart Mantra. What I learned from the Yin-Yang School was also incomplete, so it would be useless even if I got it. As for the Yang Soul Incarnation Technique, let alone this technique, it has never been demonstrated in the Han Kingdom. Even if I asked, I wouldn't have thought of asking such a question!"

"interesting!"

Hong Ku narrowed his eyes slightly.

He felt that he was too friendly to Zhang Xuezhou.

Hong Ku knew without even thinking that Zhang Xuezhou was setting a trap.

He could tell which of Zhang Xuezhou's words were probably true and which were meant to confuse him, but Hong Ku really had to guard against such possibilities.

Hong Ku was well aware that the Huainan Palace recruited talents from all over the world and gathered heroes to build the Wenying Pavilion. They used various overt and covert means to continuously search for complete secret books of cultivation.

It is not impossible that Zhang Xuezhou was targeted because of this.

Perhaps the Huainan Palace has included the "Heart Mantra" and even has people who test their practice.

"Is the Huainan Palace you are talking about in Chang'an City or Shouchun City?" Hong Ku asked.

"It's the royal palace in Chang'an City. It only takes an hour by carriage to get there. It's very close to us," said Zhang Xuezhou.

"Yeah, it's very close!"

Hong Ku took a deep breath.

Compared with the Huainan Palace in Shouchun City, the palace in Chang'an City is indeed very close, but Zhang Xuezhou never thought about how far he is from the core area of ​​the imperial court.

"Teacher, do you want to vent my anger for me?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"How can I help you vent your anger?" Hong Ku said angrily, "Chang'an City is conducting a large-scale manhunt. I don't even want to leave the house now. How can I help you to harm others?"

"I thought the teacher could take action against that princess," Zhang Xuezhou said regretfully.

"It's okay for you to let me target Liu Ling," Hong said bitterly, "but you have to help me when I want to target someone!"

As Zhang Xuezhou agreed to the task, Hong Ku quickly put forward his own ideas.

Hong Ku can help Zhang Xuezhou, but when Hong Ku needs help, he also hopes that Zhang Xuezhou can take risks and lend Rong Tianding to him.
