Mechanical Pioneer Under One Person

Xu Si brought the cigarette to his lips, then nodded and said, "That's right, 'strength in numbers'. Even the old Heavenly Master wouldn't be in any good situation if surrounded by Quan Xing."

After hearing this, Liu Ke asked with a rather curious expression, "Have you... or Master Xu Xiang seen the old Heavenly Master take action?"

Xu Si shook his head and said, "That's not the case. The old Heavenly Master hasn't taken action for a long time."

"But... Ding Shimaan and Na Ruhu, these two 'heroes', have quite a few battles and records."

"They are both very strong, very strong... but no matter how strong they are, they will be defeated by 'numbers'."

"If the [Two Heroes] are like this, then even if the old Heavenly Master, the [One Supreme], can take on the two of them alone, he will still be swallowed up by the human wave and risk falling."

Seeing that Liu Ke didn't respond for a long time, Xu Si scratched his head in distress and said, "I know I can't persuade you, but if you insist on staying, can you please not get involved with the crowd?"

"As for that... thing of yours, it has to be kept strictly confidential now, right?"

"If you reveal it, it will be difficult for us to end it! Even if we win a great victory and arrest all the people, we can't kill them all to keep it secret, right?"

"Although I also look down on Quan Xing, there are still quite a few people there who are 'still salvageable' like Liu Yanyan."

Liu Ke was a stubborn and reckless man, but he was also quite reasonable. After Xu Si finished speaking, Liu Ke couldn't help but nod.

"Uh, don't worry, I won't wander around."

……

About eight or nine minutes later, the ritual music of the Luotian Grand Ceremony suddenly began to sound from the back mountain.

The old Taoist priest and Lu Jin also slowly walked down from the audience seats, and under the arrangement of the Taoist priest, they came to Zhang Chulan again.

Lu Jin took a red square wooden box from a Taoist priest, then opened its lid, took out a thick book from his arms and placed it in the box.

Then, he walked in front of Zhang Chulan and said, "Come on, Zhang Chulan, come forward!"

After Zhang Chulan took a few steps forward, Mr. Lu Jin handed the box forward and said, "According to the agreement before the meeting..."

"This Tongtian Scroll is yours."

------

When Mr. Lu handed over the thick "Tongtian Lu", the reactions of the other people participating in the 'award ceremony' were very interesting.

Perhaps it was because the "Tongtian Lu" was of great significance, at least in Liu Keyi's eyes, their expressions... had absolutely no awareness of managing their expressions at all.

Zhang Chulan, the 'Bilian Zhenren', kept his eyes blank, as if he didn't take the secret manual of magical skills right in front of him seriously.

The old Taoist priest had a face as calm as a still image, without any ripples, but one could still see a hint of satisfaction.

As for Lu Ci and Wang Ai, they were different from the old Taoist priest. They were extremely envious of the "Tongtian Lu" and their desire was evident in their words.

The last one, Feng Zhenghao, had an expression full of satisfaction and admiration for Zhang Chulan.

……

After more than ten breaths, Zhang Chulan looked at the prize that Lu Jin handed over, pursed his lips a few times, and then said directly: "Thank you, Senior Lu."

"But I don't intend to."

"don't want?"

When Mr. Lu Jin heard Zhang Chulan's answer, his face twitched visibly, and he was in complete disbelief.

Zhang Chulan took a deep breath upon seeing this, then nodded and said, "Senior Lu, I've suffered so much because of that [Qi Body Origin] that I've never seen before."

"This [Tongtian Lu] is as famous as the [Qi Body Origin]. It's a treasure in the eyes of others, but it's just a hot potato to me."

"You... give it to whoever you want... I don't want it."

"For me, returning to Longhu Mountain is the highest reward."

……

I have to say that Zhang Chulan's words "Returning to Longhu Mountain is already the highest reward" are indeed sincere and touching.

Under the advice of the old Taoist priest, Mr. Lu's [Tian Tong Lu] was finally inherited and passed on to Zhang Lingyu.

Interestingly, when Lingyu Zhenren was called and told that he would be passing the "Tongtian Lu" to him, he hesitated for a long time, which made Lu Jin laugh at himself that no one wanted this "secret book of magical skills".

Finally, the Luotian Grand Ceremony, which lasted nearly a week, came to a close, with Zhang Chulan certified as the successor to the Heavenly Master and Zhang Lingyu being gifted the Tongtian Scroll.

……

Since the afternoon, the people who stayed behind to watch the ceremony have all gone down the mountain one after another, leaving only Nadutong and a few others lingering on the mountain.

Of course, the "youth commando" led by Lu Jin and Lu Linglong left in public, but secretly returned to the mountain and lay in hiding.

At night, everyone in Nadutong packed their luggage and went to the main hall of the Taoist temple in the back mountain of Longhu Mountain.

"Xiao Ke, you have three boxes... one is for the greyhounds, what are the other two for?"

Zhang Chulan was in a very good mood as he felt that he was about to solve a big problem and gain great freedom. During the chat, he asked Liu Ke next to him.

Naturally, Mr. Liu was in a good mood. During a trip to Longhu Mountain, he helped Zhang Chulan seize the position of the successor to the Heavenly Master while having some fun. By the way, he was also able to help Feng Baobao find some clues about the past.

Therefore, he said casually: "As for the remaining two boxes... one is clothes, and the other one... can also be considered clothes?"

Zhang Chulan paid no attention to the perfunctory words, instead boasting about Mjolnir. After all, Zhang Lingyu was a bit too strong, and without that hammer, it would be difficult for him to win today.

Just as a few people from Nadutong were bragging and chatting, Xu Si suddenly heard a call from the Bluetooth headset.

"Okay... got it... we've already made arrangements... Yeah."

After finishing the phone call, he patted Xu San on the shoulder, winked at Liu Ke, and pointed to the ground.

He said, "We'll be gone for a while. You three just keep an eye on Chu Lan."

"Be careful yourselves, Quan Xing may be about to make a move. Anyone who attacks you... can be considered an enemy."

Seeing them nod, Xu Si and Xu San felt slightly relieved and ran out in a hurry.

Not long after the two express delivery leaders left, Liu Ke and his companions saw the old Taoist priest, Tian Jinzhong and their two disciples slowly walking towards them.

"Hey, they're finally gone."

The old Taoist priest looked at the Taoist temples that had become quiet and said something for no reason.

And Mr. Tian didn't know what he was thinking about, and said, "Yes, the back mountain has been bustling for so long, it's time for some peace and quiet."

When Zhang Chulan saw these two people coming, he immediately became a little nervous.

Seeing this, Elder Tian comforted him, "Chu Lan, there's no need to be so nervous. Being the successor to the Heavenly Master doesn't mean you have to inherit the position of Heavenly Master immediately."

"Your master seems so lively and energetic. Even if you want to take the position yourself, you will probably have to wait for another 20 to 30 years."

The old Taoist priest patted Tian Lao's four-wheeled cart in annoyance, and ordered Xiao Yuzi and Taoist Master Rongshan to send Tian Lao back to his Taoist temple.

Then he said, "Chu Lan, come with me. Today, I will personally give you enlightenment."

------

"Is this the beginning?"

Looking at the golden light gradually emerging from the Taoist temple, Liu Ke said curiously.

Then, he turned to look at Gao Yushan and asked, "When the immortals come out to pass on their skills... do they also have special training like this?"

Gao Yushan tilted her head, sat lightly on the stool projected by Liu Ke, and replied, "Except for a few special ones, most of them are guardian deities worshipped for generations."

"Since I was a baby, I was raised by the immortals, so it was naturally not that difficult for me to inherit the immortals' care."

"No matter how you look at it, it's just a matter of setting up a banquet. At the banquet, you invite the immortals to eat some good food, and let the young people serve tea and wine, and that's what's been passed down."

After hearing this, Liu Ke nodded, and then was stunned.

"Master, [Zhang Lingyu], [Lu Linglong] and several other marked targets have been attacked."

After hearing the words coming from the black wall in his mind, Liu Ke directly "scanned" the base station signal of Longhu Mountain, but did not find any additional signals.

After thinking for three breaths, he said, "The fight has already started with Mr. Lu, so we should all be careful."

"Chu Lan is probably in there receiving the teachings of the old Heavenly Master. Don't let the Quan Xing people mess with him anymore."

After hearing this, Feng Baobao opened his eyes wide, pulled out the knife, and nodded seriously.

Liu Ke also snapped his fingers and woke up the [Little Dog] from the box.

Ever since the outermost beautiful coating of this mechanical beast was burned by Lingyu Zhenren's thunder magic, large areas of blackened skin appeared on its silver-gray metal body.

Its current color has changed to a swirling mixture of black, gold, and gray, and its image design has a unique style. It looks more like the black Roaring Sky Dog commonly seen in TV dramas, games, and movies.

Liu Ke leaned over and stroked the greyhound as if it were a real pet dog, saying, "Go, help Lingyu Zhenren, and help me find someone. I just took off your collar, don't embarrass me."

The thin dog swung its tail, nodded its head, and suddenly rushed towards the distant woods, running straight towards Zhang Lingyu.

Chapter 127: Wind in the Building (4000)

In the back mountain of Longhu Mountain, there is an extremely hidden cave in the forest.

"Those are the latest orders, Agent Spore."

A blond, blue-eyed white man in a black suit is communicating with another yellow man in sunglasses, also in a black suit.

His face was arrogant, and his tone and attitude clearly indicated that this white man was the dominant one between the two. Of course, one could also more figuratively describe him as a "boss."

If the Hu Jie from Dongxiang Village, a member of the domestic extraordinary circle, could regain consciousness and appear here...

Then he would definitely be able to identify this yellow-skinned man in sunglasses as the "monster" he had fought with a few days ago - the monster that was torn in half by his claws but could easily recover in the blink of an eye.

Of course, if you add the "Baga" he blurted out in anger...

Then there is nothing wrong with adding an adjective to the term used to identify him, calling him a "Japanese monster."

……

The man known as Agent Spore's face turned blue, tensed, and twisted upon hearing the formal contents of the so-called 'order'.

After a while, he regained his composure. He carefully glanced at the white man in front of him and asked respectfully in English, "Didn't you say that the first principle of foreign exploration is confidentiality?"

The white man was visibly taken aback by his words, but he still extended a hand and, gesticulating like an Italian, said, "Of course, but we're past the 'exploration' stage now. Besides, we haven't obtained any useful information. We need to be more aggressive."

At this point, the white man in a suit raised his arm again, looked at the watch on his right wrist, and said, "So, obey orders, agent. This is why we went to such great lengths to get rid of those Chinese agents."

"The time is almost up, and you know that if the 'reality show' fails to start on time, we will all be punished."

Agent Spore's face, which still held a glimmer of hope, finally darkened completely. After twitching uncontrollably for a moment, he asked, "What about my daughter's illness?"

The white man understood, showing his porcelain-white teeth, making a classic Uncle Sam gesture, pointing his index finger at the other person, and said with a charming smile: "Of course, she was born in the United States and is a legal American citizen."
