Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 178: A Knife for Help, Heart Lotus Secret

Broken limbs.

wreckage.

The wood chips from countless broken trees were soaked in the blood all over the ground.

Gui Hai Yidao was dazed when he saw this scene.

He moved his feet and felt resistance.

Looking down, he saw that it was blood and mud mixed together, turning into blood mud that stuck to his shoes.

“Is this… hell?”

There was a loud crack of thunder.

Dark clouds rolled in the sky and it started raining in an instant.

Under the rain, Gui Hai Yidao gradually woke up.

"So...it's reality!"

The smell of blood was so strong that even the heavy rain could not wash it away.

Although his consciousness returned to reality, Gui Hai Yidao's heart seemed to have sunk into hell.

"Am I...losing control again?"

That's for sure.

Otherwise he wouldn't have forgotten what happened just now.

In his memory, he just came outside the city to practice martial arts, and at the same time he was trying to control the magic sword Thousand Blades.

The blade of the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades is made up of thousands of extremely sharp tiny fragments. It seems that there is a strange power that restrains it. As long as you inject true energy into it, you can control its splitting and combination.

When combined, it becomes a knife.

When it splits, it is more like a whip.

There is also a risk of becoming possessed when practicing Hero Domination of the World. In addition, this new weapon is difficult to control, so Gui Hai Yidao came to the outside of the city to practice.

But suddenly, dozens of people appeared and wanted to surround and kill him.

Gui Hai Yidao fought back with the magic knife in hand, but the enemy was outnumbered and powerful, so he had no choice but to use Xiong Ba Tian Xia again.

After killing several people in this way...

He lost his memory.

When I woke up again, this was the scene.

The rain was pouring down, and dozens of footsteps came hurriedly, finally stopping not far away.

"Hall Master!"

"Master, are you okay?"

Gui Hai Yidao shook his head: "Nothing."

The deputy leader of Qijuetang, and also the spy sent by Hulong Villa to assist Gui Hai Yidao. He uses the alias 'Yi Xin' and is Gui Hai Yidao's sworn brother.

He is also the second line of security sent by Huolong Villa.

If the connection between Qi Jue Tang and Hulong Villa is discovered, he can be put on the blame.

There are several similar scapegoats in Qi Jue Tang.

Of course, if Gui Hai Yidao is suspected by the mysterious organization, these people can also put all the blame on Gui Hai Yidao to ensure that they can continue to stay in the organization.

Yi Jue examined the appearance of several corpses and said solemnly, "Master, these people seem to be from the Moon Shadow Sect."

"Moon Shadow Gate? Are you sure?"

"It's basically certain."

Gui Hai Yidao frowned: "The Yueying Sect's forces are separated from us by a city. Why would they suddenly send people here to assassinate me?"

However, this question obviously cannot be answered in a hurry.

After returning to Qijue Hall, Gui Hai Yidao asked someone to gather intelligence, while he sat in the hall, frowning and thinking deeply.

Ten days have passed since the last time I met Gin.

During these ten days, after careful consideration, he finally decided to practice the Xiongba Tianxia sword technique and try his best to improve his strength so that he could get the position of official member by the end of the year.

In addition, he also asked his men to collect Taoist and Buddhist meditation methods. Although the time is short, it should have some effect.

However, this time, he was still possessed by the killing.

"And...Moon Shadow Gate!"

The Yueying Sect is an old local force. It was founded by a couple, both of whom are masters, but they are not young. Therefore, they have maintained their dominance for many years, but they do not have much ambition to make progress.

But in recent times, it has suddenly become brave and radical, and has continued to expand outward.

Gui Hai Yidao has reason to believe that there are also reserve members of the organization within the Yueying Sect.

However, I don’t know whether it is the two old masters who have exhausted their potential, or their son who is in the innate realm.

There is indeed a city between Yueying Gate and Qijue Hall.

But since the other party sent people to assassinate me, I'm afraid that the city between the two forces has already been captured by the Yueying Sect.

After all, there was neither a unified force nor any powerful masters in that city, so they could not stop the Yueying Sect at all.

"Now that the Moon Shadow Sect has taken action, there's no way they'll stop. Such a powerful enemy..."

The two masters of Yueying Sect are both ordinary Yihua masters. They are not young either, both over fifty years old.

In the martial arts world, he would be a background figure for geniuses of the innate realm like Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuxue to fight against those of higher levels.

Gui Hai Yidao is confident that he can defeat such a master.

But, the two of you...the situations are very different.

As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands, and the combat power of one plus one will be far greater than that of three.

What's more, these two masters are husband and wife, and they cooperate with each other in perfect harmony.

With his strength, even if he had the Thousand Blades Demon Sword in his hand, he would probably have to use the Hero Domination of the World or even the Three Blades of Avici Path to have a chance of winning.

But once that kind of devilish martial arts is used, I will probably become possessed by the devil in an instant!
After thinking for a long time, Gui Hai Yidao finally decided - to ask for help!
"Huh? Did this old man Zhu Wusi explode with gold coins?"

In Pei Mansion.

Zhou Ming was fishing when he suddenly received a message from Xiao Ai. He entered his personal space and saw Zhu Wusi writing words on a blank paper on a projection screen.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a secret spiritual martial art.

"What's going on?" Zhou Ming asked.

Xiao Ai said nothing and threw a projection over.

It turned out that Gui Hai Yidao wrote a letter to Zhu Wushi asking for help, and Zhu Wushi was giving a solution.

"It seems that Gui Hai Yi Dao's news is a bit blocked."

Zhou Ming shook his head.

Gui Hai Yidao asked for help, just wanting Zhu Wusi to send someone to resolve the matter.

But unfortunately, the timing is not right now.

Before, in order to save Cheng Shifei, Shangguan Haitang returned to the capital, bringing Yunluo's letter and wanting to meet the emperor to ask for the thousand-year-old snow lotus.

However, the East Factory interfered and kept delaying the process.

In desperation, Shangguan Haitang secretly broke into the palace, disguised as a young eunuch, and wanted to steal the thousand-year-old snow lotus.

Although he finally got the Millennium Snow Lotus, he was blocked by Cao Zhengchun when he was leaving the palace.

In the original plot, the person who came to the rescue at this time was Gui Hai Yidao.

But in this world, Gui Hai Yidao has his own secret mission, so it is naturally impossible for him to rescue.

As a result, Shangguan Haitang was caught on the spot by Cao Zhengchun.

Although Yunluo's letter later testified and Zhu Wusi pleaded for mercy, the emperor let Shangguan Haitang go and directly gave her the thousand-year-old snow lotus.

However, Cao Zhengchun took this opportunity to mock Zhu Wusi for his rebellious intentions. The Nanping Prince's treason case had just concluded, and this was a sensitive time for matters like this.

Even so, with Zhu Wusi's strength and background, he can completely ignore this irony.

However, no one expected that in order to prove his loyalty, Zhu Wusi was willing to voluntarily hand over all power in the Huolong Villa!
This incident really surprised everyone, including the emperor.

After thinking about it, the emperor finally rejected the request, but he also took this opportunity to let the Baolong clan intervene in the operation of the Huolong Villa.

This obviously also includes the intention of imprisonment.

Gui Hai Yidao asked for help at this time, but Zhu Wusi could not send anyone to help at will.

Fortunately, Gui Hai Yidao also explained the origin of his predicament in detail in the letter asking for help, so Zhu Wusi quickly thought of a way to deal with it.

This is the spiritual secret method that Zhu Wusi is writing at this moment.

"I didn't expect Zhu Wushi to have such a mysterious method!"

Zhou Ming read every word and could easily sense the power of this method.

This method is called the Heart Lotus Method. It requires one to transform a bit of one's own obsession into a lotus seed, plant it in the heart pool, and inject one's own spiritual will and memory into it, so that it will gradually grow and transform into a heart lotus.

After the heart lotus blooms, the pure air will cleanse the filth in the heart and ensure the purity of the mind.

"Where did Zhu Wusi get this mysterious method?"

Xiao Ai's eyes flashed with data. After a moment, she shook her head and said, "I haven't found any relevant records yet. There's an 80% chance that Zhu Wushi created it himself."

"Homemade?"

Zhou Ming was really surprised.

Although he knew that Zhu Wusi was a martial arts genius, otherwise he would not have been able to master the power-absorbing technique passed down by the Tianchi Strange Hero and fight against the undefeated boy Gu Santong when he was young.

But I never expected that this person’s genius could reach the point where he could create his own secret spiritual technique!

That is a mysterious spiritual path!
"Xiao Ai, investigate the past and see how he created this method."

Xiao Ai controlled all the marks and had the ability to project, so she quickly collected enough information from some people, especially some masters of the Forbidden City.

To talk about Zhu Wushi's creation of the martial arts, we have to start with the two martial arts left behind by the Tianchi Strange Hero.

The Vajra Indestructible Divine Power can enhance a person in all aspects, but it consumes a lot of energy, and those with shallow skills often cannot last long.

This shortcoming is just made up by the Qi-absorbing Dafa.

The power-absorbing technique absorbs people's power. When it is cultivated to the highest level, it can even absorb the essence of other people's bodies and even their soul memories. It is extremely terrifying.

But if it comes from others, it is naturally mixed and impure.

This defect can be compensated by practicing the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art.

Because the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art is a method of eliminating the dross and retaining the essence, constantly tempering one's own essence, energy and spirit in order to achieve the complete Vajra Indestructible state.

With these two skills complementing each other, Tianchi Weird Hero was able to break through to the level of Grandmaster.

However, Zhu Wusi only practiced the power-absorbing technique.

At first he only absorbed people's skills, then he absorbed people's essence, and finally he directly absorbed people's soul memories.

The benefit of this is that he can master the martial arts that others have practiced for decades with just one breath.

But the downside is that other people's decades of memories will continue to impact his soul.

If he is not careful, his soul may be lost, his memory may be confused, and he may no longer be himself.

Zhu Wusi naturally wanted to try every possible way to solve this problem.

However, the power-absorbing technique is a magical skill close to the grandmaster level. To solve this shortcoming, the corresponding spiritual secret technique should be of similar level even if it is not of the same level.

But martial arts at the grandmaster level are rarely seen in the world, not to mention the secret techniques of the spirit.

After a long search, Zhu Wusi had no choice but to create his own.

He combined the few Heaven-Changing and Earth-Strike Spiritual Techniques treasured in the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Palace, the fragments of the Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique, and the Buddhist and Taoist spiritual martial arts collected from the Huolong Villa, and finally created this Heart Lotus Technique.

But although Zhu Wusi is a genius, he is not talented enough to create his own grandmaster martial arts.

This Heart Lotus Method is very effective in fighting against external evil and maintaining oneself, but it is only effective in fighting against internal evil, that is, the inner demons generated by oneself, and its effect is extremely poor.

At the same time, if you take obsession as the seed, you will eventually be trapped by obsession.

The flaws are very obvious.

Zhu Wusi was quite proud and believed that spreading this flawed technique would damage his reputation. Therefore, he never told anyone about this martial art.

But Gui Hai Yidao's position in the mysterious organization is too important. It is not only related to rejuvenation, but also involves another calculation in Zhu Wusi's mind, which is also what he cares about most.

That is why this method is brought out.

However, he also claimed that it was a secret method he found in the palace, and did not say that he created it.

"Zhu Wusi was able to come up with this method. It seems that he has placed most of his hopes on Gui Hai Yidao!"

When practicing this method, one uses obsession as a seed, but one will also be trapped by obsession.

Zhou Ming was familiar with the plot and instantly figured out what kind of obsession Zhu Wusi used as the heart lotus seed.

Even if other people knew this method, they probably wouldn't be able to figure it out in a short while.

But this does not mean that Zhu Wusi’s weakness does not exist.

However, he passed this method to Gui Hai Yidao.

It can be seen how important Gui Hai Yidao is in Zhu Wusi's heart at this time.

"However, for me, this method can only be used as a reference and cannot be copied."

The impact of the power-absorbing technique sucking away people's soul memories is not that strong.

The demonic power of the Twelve Xuanyin Swords is even stronger than the Three Avici Swords.

Therefore, this Heart Lotus Technique is definitely not able to withstand the evil intent of the Twelve Xuanyin Swords.

"Change the sky and strike the earth...plant the devil in the heart of the Tao..."

Zhou Ming thought of these two magical skills.

The basis of Zhu Wusi's self-created Heart Lotus Method is the fragments of these two magical skills.

"Perhaps, I should acquire these two martial arts first..."

on the screen.

Zhu Wusi had already finished writing the Heart Lotus Method and was waiting for the ink to dry.

He paced in the space, thought for a moment, opened the secret room in the room, and took out a bottle of medicine from it.

There was a note on the bottle with a name on it.

Big return pill!
It is the secret medicine that is strictly controlled by Shaolin Temple.

It is said to be extremely precious, and even the abbot of Shaolin Temple can only use one in his lifetime.

Of course, in reality it is not that precious.

Anyone who is qualified enough in Shaolin Temple can get it.

If people from outside have enough connections or other exchanges of interests, they may also get one or two.

But the effect of Dahuandan is indeed very strong.

It can treat most internal and external injuries, and has the miraculous effect of increasing one's strength.

If a strong person in the realm of innate perfection takes one pill, the possibility of successfully breaking through to the grandmaster level can be directly increased to more than 80%!

"Yidao is already not far from the Grandmaster realm. With this Great Rejuvenation Pill, he will definitely be able to break through to the Grandmaster realm immediately. With his strength, I think the spot as an official member is almost certain to be secured."

Zhu Wusi murmured.

The current situation of Hulong Villa is not very good. Although part of it is his calculation, in the next period of time, Hulong Villa will indeed not be able to provide much help to Gui Hai Yidao.

Instead of facing numerous difficulties in the future and asking for help many times, it is better to give more assistance this time to enhance Gui Hai Yidao's strength.

Of course, this kind of reinforcement must also be considered in certain ways, so as not to let the mysterious organization suspect Gui Hai Yidao.

Otherwise, Zhu Wusi would be able to produce more pills to increase his strength.
