Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 172: The Evildoer Gai Tianjiao, Love of Beauty
When warriors above the innate realm participate in basic civil engineering construction, many time-consuming and labor-intensive problems are easily solved.

Especially the master-level strong ones, they can be said to be innate pile-driving holy bodies. As long as they attach their true energy to the huge wood, they can temporarily give this piece of wood indestructible power.

Then just insert the wood into the ground and a wooden stake will be established.

Thanks to the participation of these masters, the construction of the Nameless Island was like turning on an accelerator. In just a few days, the dock, factory, and a comprehensive palace were built.

The invisible men were split up, and most of them were temporarily transferred to Mu Dao Ren's subordinates.

Mu Dao Ren is understanding and learning the past history and style of the Invisible Man.

After all, in a few days, he will put on the shell of the Invisible Man and become the controller behind the Giant Whale Gang.

Changle on the other side was extremely busy.

This nameless island is being built for him, and he also needs to form a fleet capable of exploring the deep ocean.

In this situation, there is one person who is very leisurely.

Wu Ming felt silently bullied.

Although he had never heard of this term, he knew that it was not a good thing to be alone with nothing to do when everyone else was busy.

So he took the initiative to find Gin.

"You want to start teaching now?"

Jin Jiu said, "That's fine. The martial arts training ground has been completed today. You can give us a one-hour martial arts lesson there after get off work this afternoon."

"Yes."

"Then you should get ready first."

Gin waved him off.

Wu Ming's expression changed slightly, but he still retreated obediently.

Gin didn't care either.

If he cannot become a grandmaster, then his value to Zhou Ming will be greatly reduced.

Although, with Wu Ming's talent, it would probably only take three to five years to improve his shortcomings.

By that time, a Huangliang Pill would be enough for him to successfully break through to the Grandmaster level.

but!

Three to five years?
Haha, by that time, I’m afraid even the combat power at the level of Grandmaster will not be so rare under Zhou Ming.

Wuming Island is temporarily implementing an eight-hour work system.

Of course, this does not mean that you don’t have to work after eight hours, but you should study for an hour after dinner.

The main purpose is to learn some ocean-going knowledge and train these elite members of the Giant Whale Gang to become ocean-going sailors.

After all, there is a huge gap between near sea and far sea.

Being able to work in the near seas does not mean that you can adapt to working in the deep seas.

After learning, there is one hour of martial arts practice time.

Both activities are required.

So in the evening, there were thousands of people listening to Wu Ming's open martial arts teaching class.

Wu Ming used his internal energy to amplify his voice and talked about the simplest, yet most basic martial arts.

"Explaining things in simple terms and penetrating deeply, Wu Ming is truly a master at teaching."

Mu Dao Ren watched from the side and nodded repeatedly.

There were also many innate and even master-level warriors who came to listen to the lecture.

After all, Wu Ming is a master who has reached the level of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and is almost able to break through to become a grandmaster. There is no harm in coming to listen.

Among them are many members who were originally invisible.

But when they saw Wu Ming talking about the foundation-building martial arts in front of thousands of people, several people couldn't help but clench their fists, with expressions of resentment on their faces.

Taoist Mu couldn't help but stare at him.

Lord of Heaven and Earth, personal teacher.

Most of the members of the Invisible Man were taught by Wu Ming himself. It can be said that Wu Ming is their master.

Although the master is a three-flower strong man, he is not valued in the organization. He can only serve as a martial arts instructor, teaching some basic martial arts knowledge. The people he teaches are just a group of acquired martial arts or even less than acquired martial arts.

This is also a shame for the disciples.

However, most of them are now Mu Dao Ren's subordinates, so it is not good to be so nostalgic.

After all, in Mu Dao Ren's opinion, Wu Ming is only one step away from becoming a grandmaster. Maybe one day he will be able to strengthen his will and successfully break through.

Once he becomes a grandmaster, he will naturally be promoted to an organizational cadre.

By that time, I'm afraid all the current members will defect to others...

Taoist Mu's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand to call his disciple Shi He and whispered a few instructions.

night.

"Master, I've found out almost everything."

"how?"

"That instructor Wu is so talented, it's shocking!" said Shi He.

According to the information he gathered, Wu Ming was extremely talented and could learn ordinary martial arts just by looking at them for a few seconds.

Some profound and unique skills can be mastered in just a few days.

In terms of martial arts realm, he hardly encountered any bottlenecks and everything went smoothly.

"With such talent, it's no wonder that his will is weak..." Taoist Mu finally understood why Wu Ming could never break through to become a grandmaster.

His life was too smooth, which resulted in no tempering of his will.

He has an extremely strong talent in martial arts and can master any martial art once he learns it. This has led to him never really studying any martial art carefully.

Naturally, it is impossible to embody one's will in a certain martial art.

He doesn't have either of the two conditions required to break through to the Grandmaster level, so how could he possibly break through?
"So, the thing he's most proud of should be his talent in martial arts..."

Taoist Mu laughed.

Another day.

"Master Wu, I have something I would like to trouble you with."

"Oh? What could possibly be bothering Master Mu?"

"It's about this girl."

Taoist Mu moved, letting Xiao Ai, who looked expressionless, out of the way. He said, "This girl wants to learn martial arts, but I'm busy with my duties, and martial arts isn't suitable for a woman. I heard that Instructor Wu is proficient in the long-lost Ruyi Orchid Hand. How about teaching this girl?"

This girl... looks young, but she holds a very high position in the organization.

Wu Ming thought to himself, "If I teach him well, I can even take him in as my disciple..."

He immediately smiled and said, "Teaching martial arts is my duty. If Miss Shirley wants to learn, I will naturally teach her. However, it will take quite some time to master the Ruyi Orchid Hand martial art."

Taoist Mu nodded. "I heard that Fairy Ruyi, who once became famous for this martial art, had incredible talent, but it took her three full years to master it. And her daughter spent a full thirty years without ever learning it, and ultimately committed suicide out of grief and anger. It's pitiful and lamentable."

Wu Ming laughed and said, "It's just a rumor. This martial art is actually not difficult. As long as you understand the tricks, it's easy to learn. I have a female disciple who mastered it in just five years."

"Oh? I wonder how long did it take Instructor Wu?"

"Me, faster."

"How fast?"

"Only three months."

"Three months? Instructor Wu's talent is truly astonishing."

Wu Ming benefited greatly from it.

The same words of praise sound completely different when spoken by an ordinary person and a grandmaster.

"In that case, it will take quite some time for this girl to learn this martial art."

"It doesn't matter. I've already joined the organization. As long as Miss Shirley wants to learn, I can teach her anytime."

An hour later.

Taoist Mu seemed to pass by the martial arts field accidentally.

In the martial arts arena, Xiao Ai's petite figure stood still, her hands flying, as if a fairy from heaven had come to earth, picking flowers and indigo.

This was a manifestation of Ruyi Orchid Hand cultivation reaching an extremely high level. Although he had been mentally prepared, when he saw this scene, Mu Dao Ren couldn't help but feel shocked.

"This girl... a monster!"

Let’s look at Wu Ming again.

Taoist Mu smiled.

Wu Ming was standing not far in front of Xiao Ai, his eyes seemed to be staring at her, but in fact they were blank and lifeless. His whole body was filled with a decadent temperament, like a gray-white stone sculpture that had lost all its color.

"Ha ha……"

Taoist Mu turned and left with brisk steps.

"Wu Ming, Wu Ming, your life has been too smooth, without any setbacks or hardships. That's why your will is unstable and you can't break through to the Grandmaster level. I'm doing this... for your own good!"
However, if the hardship is too much and you can't bear it, and your Dao heart collapses, then don't blame me!"

after one day.

Mu Daoren returned to land by boat.

He will put on the invisible man's vest and use the invisible man's power to help the Giant Whale Gang firmly establish its position as the overlord of the South.

Before leaving, many members of the Invisible Man wanted to say goodbye to Wu Ming.

But Wu Ming stayed indoors and refused to meet with them.

Everyone had no choice but to give up.

"I can't believe these people are already scheming against each other for power this early on...it's really interesting."

Watching the big ship sail away, Gin showed a standard smile as if he was watching fun.

Although in his opinion, the winery was just a small organization he built on a whim and spent more than half a year to build.

But in fact, in the eyes of others, this is an extremely mysterious and huge organization that has existed for an unknown period of time.

Just being a part of the organization, it has already controlled the entire underworld of the Ming Dynasty.

In such a large organization, it is extremely normal for power struggles to occur.

Wu Ming failed to break through to the Grandmaster level, and the Invisible Man organization under his command was directly dismantled. He was also assigned a teaching position and was stuck on the Nameless Island, unable to move for at least a few years.

But he has the possibility of breaking through to become a grandmaster and becoming an organizational cadre.

Then in the eyes of Mu Dao Ren, who took over most of the Invisible Man's inheritance, he is naturally the biggest competitor.

So, take decisive action.

The only thing Zhou Ming didn't expect was...

"This guy is using Ai..."

Gin glanced at Ai, who was still practicing the Ruyi Orchid Hand.

Even though she had already mastered this martial art to the same level as its creator, she still enjoyed it.

"Is it fun? Shirley?"

"It's fun." Xiao Ai nodded.

Jin Jiu patted her head and said, "Just play with it. Your talent is more suitable for other martial arts."

For example, Yi swordsmanship, Dai Zong's technique, Dugu Nine Swords... In short, all martial arts that collect information, calculate and deduce to anticipate the enemy's moves are the most suitable for Xiao Ai.

"but……"

Xiao Ai's eyes moved: "...I like it..."

"Yes, I like it?"

Gin was stunned: "Then continue to play, no one will force you."

Like, without a doubt, is an emotion.

Although I knew it would happen soon, I didn't expect that Ai would actually develop feelings for me so quickly.

"In that case, I have to thank Taoist Mu..."

a few days later.

Pei Mansion.

"Haha, I won!"

Li Mochou ran over in a hurry, causing ripples on the water.

"what happened again?"

Zhou Ming held the fishing rod, his body as steady as a rock.

Li Mochou said, "Chunhua and I made a bet to see whether Xiaoai prefers Quanzhen Sword Technique or Jade Girl Sword Technique. I won!"

"Oh?"

Zhou Ming looked to one side and saw Xiao Ai holding a short sword. Her figure was dancing like a nimble bird, and the flashing of the sword was extremely beautiful.

"It seems that the love that Xiao Ai mentioned can now be confirmed."

Liking is the first emotion that Xiao Ai awakens.

But whether she likes martial arts or the Ruyi Orchid Hand type of martial arts remains to be discussed.

Therefore, after returning, Zhou Ming asked others to start teaching her martial arts as well.

Then Zhou Ming discovered that between Quanzhen and Gumu Sect, Xiao Ai obviously preferred Gumu Sect’s martial arts.

The reason for this is that when the Tomb School's martial arts are performed, the postures are graceful and beautiful, especially the Qinggong, which is called martial arts, but it is really like dancing.

What Xiao Ai really likes is actually this kind of beauty.

Heart of beauty in everyone.

Children are no exception.

It’s just that people’s pursuit of beauty is constantly changing.

Babies in swaddling clothes like to stare at things that move around.

Children may like all kinds of fancy things and bright colors.

As I grow older, I prefer simple and rustic patterns, and black, white and grey are more to my liking.

It is not surprising that the first emotion that awakened in Xiao Ai was the pursuit of beauty.

"In that case, compared to the Ancient Tomb Sect, the Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts from the Song Kingdom is actually more suitable for Xiao Ai... In that case, let's start with the Xiao Wuxiang Gong to lay the foundation for Xiao Ai."

Zhou Ming thought, "It's just right. The Sun Moon Sect is leaving Ming and heading into Song. I can let Dongfang Bubai collect the martial arts inheritance of the Xiaoyao Sect."

Blackwood Cliff.

Inside an unknown hidden cave.

Dongfang Bubai was dressed in red, walking slowly in the cave, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

But more of it is determination.

"Master, the Ming court is too wary of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, and its power cannot grow at all. Only by leaving the Ming Dynasty can we have a chance to develop.

Although I cannot say goodbye to Master in person, we will meet again someday."

He walked out of the cave and waved his hand, and his true energy burst out, shattering countless rubble and burying the cave.

Return to Blackwood Cliff.

Tong Baixiong came forward and said, "Master, I and the others have been waiting for a long time."

"Greetings, Master!" Many masters came together to pay their respects.

The Sun-Moon Divine Sect originally had left and right envoys, ten elders, twelve halls, and seven-colored flags, but after a period of streamlining, only four elders and seven halls remain.

All other establishments have been cancelled.

There are tens of thousands of believers, but only 8,000 are willing to follow the leaders to the State of Song.

After all, it is hard to leave one's hometown.

The lower-level believers are different from the elders and hall masters. They have families and children, but they do not have much strength. They join the Sun and Moon Sect just to make a living.

Since they are just trying to make a living, if the Sun and Moon Sect is gone, there will naturally be other forces.

How could he abandon his family and go to the State of Song?
Moreover, the Sun Moon Sect has not treated its lower-level followers particularly well since its previous leader. Even after the new leader, Dongfang Bubai, took office, he has not been in charge of affairs for several years.

The lower-level believers are not happy here, so why should we follow them?
The fact that 8,000 people were selected was thanks to the long-term wars in the north, which resulted in extremely harsh living conditions for ordinary people.
