One person ascends to the Pure Huang Court

Is it that the divine object conceals itself? Hu Xiuwu thought to himself.

Now that the Zhuochen Pearl is in hand, this adventure has finally achieved its goal.

Seeing King Xian die in front of them and the crisis was over, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan lay on the ground, not wanting to move at all.

The four of them rested here. Hu Xiuwu and Lao Meng also needed to restore the empty dantian in their bodies. By the way, they also waited for Liao Zhong and Shirley Yang who had not yet left the Worm Valley.

Wang Kaixuan spoke with a tone of relief at having survived a disaster, "Luckily there is a 'city-entry point' here, otherwise we would have fallen into the hands of this King Xian."

"It is God's will that he should be killed."

Wang Kaixuan, who had saved his life, was in the mood to sing a line from an opera.

"This is not God's credit, it's man conquering nature!" Hu Xiuwu refuted Wang Kaixuan's statement.

King Xian spent his entire life planning for this day, waited for two thousand years, transformed the entire Worm Valley, and built a "Fairy Cave" for himself.

With his knowledge, he must have understood that this was his nemesis, so how could he leave such a big loophole for himself?

Lao Meng also figured out the origin of this place: "Since King Xian can build a 'God's Cave' for himself, then Li Chunfeng can also build a guillotine for him."

······

When Hu Xiuwu woke up from his meditation and opened his eyes again, Liao Zhong and Shirley Yang had already crawled out of the Insect Valley and found them.

After the four of them led King Xian away, Liao Zhong and Shirley Yang did not stop and left the Insect Valley. King Xian's remains were the most obvious signpost, and following His winding snake body, Liao Zhong and Shirley Yang found them easily.

Now, Shirley Yang was bandaging the wound that Hu Bayi had inflicted when he was escaping just now.

Liao Zhong patted Lao Meng on the shoulder and laughed: "Alright, Lao Meng, you guys are awesome. You can handle this huge monster."

Lao Meng waved his hands repeatedly: "We don't have such great ability. We mainly rely on the geographical advantage and the help of our predecessors."

Liao Zhong looked at Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan lying on the ground. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and reached out from the bag behind him to take out several lunch boxes tightly wrapped in plastic bags:

"Here, take it, this is good stuff."

Liao Zhong stuffed the lunch boxes into their hands, one for each person.

Hu Xiuwu untied the plastic bag and opened the lunch box. Inside were several plant tubers the size of human arms. Clear plant juice was flowing out from the cuts made with a knife.

Wang Kaixuan smelled the contents of the lunch box and did not smell any strange odor, but instead a strange plant fragrance:

"Boss Liao, what is this?"

Liao Zhong said: "This was discovered by Xueli Yang. It is called Muli. It has the effect of detoxifying and lightening the body. It is a great tonic."

"The rhizome and half of the body of this wood lily were devoured by King Xian. If King Xian hadn't been anxious to chase you, this piece of wood lily would not have survived."

"This thing can't be stored for a long time like ginseng, so why don't we just finish it off right here."

As he spoke, Liao Zhong touched the corner of his mouth and said, "You know what, this thing tastes quite delicious, and after eating it, I feel like I have endless energy."

It is edible and very nutritious.

Wang Kaixuan immediately extracted the key words from Liao Zhong's long speech. Wang Kaixuan, whose stomach had long been empty, finished his portion of the wood mulberry in just a few bites.

After eating, Wang Kaixuan's thighs, which had been cramped and limp from exhaustion, suddenly recovered and he felt much more energetic.

After Hu Xiuwu ate the wood wormwood, his Qi recovered much faster. Lao Meng felt the same way.

Liao Zhong looked at the Insect Valley that had been destroyed by King Xian and sighed, feeling it was a pity. He had originally wanted to apply to build a bunker here.

Specializes in studying the terrain of Hulu Cave and the strange creatures inside.

After being attacked by King Xian, the Gourd Cave was destroyed, the Toad Palace was not preserved, and not even a trace of the toad worm was left.

The feng shui pattern of the Worm Valley was also destroyed by King Xian, making it no longer worth studying.

"However, fortunately, the mission objective was achieved this time."

Liao Zhong put the Zhuchen Pearl that Hu Xiuwu had just given him close to his body.

After eating the radix aconiti pulex, even Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, who had been exhausted, regained their strength, not to mention Hu Xiuwu and Lao Meng, whose recovery abilities were even stronger than theirs.

No one wanted to stay in the mountains any longer, so they set off to return to the inn.

It was difficult to get in but easy to get out. It didn't take them long to leave the Insect Valley again through the river under Zhalong Mountain.

This time, there was no blood on the boat. The water boar bees were also eaten by the knife-tooth salmon last time, so they left the river quietly.

After returning to the mountain village, they did not go back to Caiyun Inn, but got on the car of their colleagues from the Southwest Region.

Since the Zhuochen Pearl was still on him, Liao Zhong decided to return to the bunker as soon as possible.

However, after arriving at Chongteng City, which was the closest to Zhalong Mountain, Liao Zhong abandoned Hu Xiuwu there and had no intention of taking him back to the bunker. Instead, he asked his colleagues in the southwest to send him back to Sijiu City.

Liao Zhong said to Hu Xiuwu: "The rest is none of your business. You don't need to go to the bunker. I will return your brother to you."

"why?"

"Why are there so many whys? This is supposed to be your job. Your summer vacation is about to end. Have you finished your summer homework? Why don't you go back and do your homework?"

Hu Xiuwu:? ? ?

This summer I broke into a ghost tomb, entered a mysterious bunker, faced an evil dragon, and found the precious Zhuchen Pearl.

Are you asking me now if I have done my summer homework?

Of course I didn’t do that.

Hu Xiuwu had no way of talking to Liao Zhong, so he could only ask the employees of Southwest Nadutong Company to take him to the airport.

Before parting, Liao Zhong instructed the people from Nadutong to make sure that Hu Xiuwu was on the plane, and then asked the people from Southwest to drive Hu Xiuwu to the airport.

When Hu Xiuwu arrived at the airport, the plane had not yet taken off, so Hu Xiuwu could only wander around the airport waiting hall, waiting for time.

There is nothing else in the airport hall, but there are shops selling local specialties everywhere.

Hu Xiuwu was not very interested in these local specialties, and he had no way to explain to his family if he took them back:

Why did he go to the northwest but bring back specialties from the southwest?

Passing by several shops, a bookstore caught Hu Xiuwu's eye.

Various books are displayed in the bookstore's window used to attract customers, one of which is "Story Collection" with the storyteller figurine logo printed on it.

"Story Collection" was founded in 63. It is a magazine dedicated to publishing various fiction stories. You can find all kinds of novels in the magazine, including suspense, humor, and emotion.

In this era without smartphones, "Story Collection" is naturally very popular among students. Even many adults on business trips are willing to buy a copy to kill their free time during the trip. Therefore, the sales volume is very good and it is placed in a prominent position in the bookstore.

However, its popularity among students means that it is considered by parents and teachers as a "leisure book" that affects learning.

When Hu Xiuwu saw "Story Collection", he remembered what Lao Meng had said to him and planned to buy a few copies to kill time on the plane.

Chapter 60 Jianghu Inn

Hu Xiuwu bought a few thin magazines from the bookstore and took them with him on the plane.

He has been under the watchful eyes of Nadutong recently, so he seldom used the Ghost Tomb and did not dare to put any luggage in it. Now there is nothing in it except a bronze mirror.

When it was time to board the flight, the people from Nadutong took Hu Xiuwu on the plane. Liao Zhong was very considerate and actually booked a first-class cabin for Hu Xiuwu.

There were very few people sitting in the first class cabin of this flight. The flight attendant in charge of the first class cabin saw that Hu Xiuwu, a minor, was traveling alone on the plane. She enthusiastically led him to his seat, fastened his seat belt for him, and helped him put away his backpack.

After the plane took off and flew smoothly at high altitude, juice was served to him.

While drinking juice, Hu Xiuwu flipped through the book "Story Collection" that he bought.

During this time of getting along with Lao Meng and Liao Zhong, Hu Xiuwu gained a lot of common sense about the world of extraordinary people that Wu Dechang had not had time to teach him.

Among them is the "Story Collection". This magazine itself has nothing to do with extraordinary people, but there is a big shot in the extraordinary world who likes to publish articles in this magazine.

One of the Ten Lords, the owner of Jianghu Inn, Mu You.

Jianghu Xiaozhan is an organization that specializes in collecting domestic intelligence. Mu You often uses Jianghu Xiaozhan as a pen name when publishing articles in "Story Collection".

Mu You would reveal some insignificant information that was not worth selling and write it into stories, which were published in "Story Collection".

For example, a famous extraordinary person died, someone else accepted a disciple, or a big sensation happened there.

Ordinary people only think that Mu You writes martial arts novels, but only extraordinary people know that what he writes are all true stories.

Mu You will use nicknames to refer to people and things involved, and those who understand will understand. It is equivalent to Jianghu Xiaozhan using the platform of "Story Collection" to build a newspaper for extraordinary people.

It's not that Jianghu Xiaozhan doesn't have the ability to publish a newspaper, but publishing a newspaper dedicated to publishing news about the alien world is too conspicuous, and Nadutong will not agree to it.

On the other hand, there are only about 10,000 strange people in the country at most, and it would not make money to publish a newspaper specifically for such a small group.

It would be better to use other people's platforms to lay eggs and earn royalties. Why not do it?

Since it is called a newspaper, it only reports the results. If you want to know the inside story,

Hey, then please come to Jianghu Inn to discuss in detail.

In a word, you have to pay more.

······

Hu Xiuwu started reading from the earliest issue of the magazine he found, just like reading a newspaper.

What he didn't expect was that the first thing he saw was related to him.

In the Battle of Eight Immortals Mountain, several major sects that were crippled by Master Zhang Huaiyi merged into one and established the Seeking Truth Society. Mu You only wrote the result, but did not write about the inside story of why the three sects suddenly abandoned their prejudices and merged.

How to say this matter, in ancient times, Adou and Zhao Zilong fought their way in and out of an army of 100,000; today, Hu Xiuwu and Zhang Huaiyi, master and apprentice, are changing the landscape of the extraordinary world in Tianjin.

Hu Xiuwu put down the story book in his hand and switched to another one.

This book is about one of the Ten Masters, Chen Jinkui, the head of the Shuzi Sect, who has a new apprentice named He Yuan who comes with some skills.

Chen Jinkui? Is he the bald guy that Mr. Fang scolded?

Hu Xiuwu laughed secretly in his heart: It seems that Mr. Fang was finally unable to resist the harassment of this Chen Jinkui.

In fact, it was not only because of Chen Jinkui's harassment, but also because Fang Xinsheng was shocked when he heard the news of Wu Dechang's death. Although he did not know the inside story, he guessed it roughly. At least he understood that Wu Dechang died for Hu Xiuwu.

Other people's masters can do this for their apprentices, but he has the face to delay his apprentice's future because of his own private thoughts.

So he took He Yuan to Shuzimen and asked him to become Chen Jinkui's disciple.

In the last book of "Story Collection", Mu You actually wrote about two things.

The Northeastern shamans went out in groups and were active in the Northeast region.

Hmm? The Northeastern Shamans came out en masse, and Hu Xiuwu was a little surprised.
