Lu Zhou's eyes were sharp as he stared at Zhu Honggong.
Zhu Honggong felt chills running down his spine.
"I swear to the heavens that if I lie, may the heavens strike me with five thunders!" Zhu Honggong immediately swore.
He didn't know how many times he had heard about Qi Sheng.
Old Eighth and Old Fourth's judgments were completely opposite.
Zhu Honggong did not look like he would dare to lie.
If it was true, it meant that Seventh Brother had been resurrected — the previous series of questions still existed, such as the ineffective method of resurrection, the inability of the Heavenly Eye to observe, and so on. There was no reasonable explanation.
"Where is he now?" Lu Zhou asked.
"He is now the head of Tu Wei Hall, and he is in charge of the battle for the head of the ten palaces. He was also the one who told us not to reveal your existence and to follow the plan to fight for the position of the Hall Leader, "Zhu Honggong said.
"Plan?"
"This is the plan for the Palace Head Selection. He said that only by becoming a Hall Chief can one become a Hall Master. Only by becoming a Hall Master can one obtain the Heaven Suppressing Pestle, enter the Heaven Awaken Space, comprehend the Great Dao Law, and become an Exalted Being, "Zhu Honggong said.
Heaven Suppressing Pestle?
Lu Zhou remembered the Heaven Suppression Pestle he obtained from the Feather Emperor when he was in Big Abyss. Until now, he still did not know what it was used for.
Lu Zhou asked unhurriedly,
"Why are you looking for the Heaven-suppressing Rod?"
A pained expression appeared on Zhu Honggong's face. He scratched his ears and cheeks as he said, "I'll have to ask Seventh Senior Brother about this. He said that it's very useful. The Ten Great Heavenly Openings correspond to the Ten Great Heaven Suppression Scepters, but I don't know what they're used for. Seventh Senior Brother, it's not like you don't know that he often says some inexplicable opinions, saying that the sky is falling and the earth is collapsing, that mankind is in danger, and that it's all a mess! "
"…"
It would be asking Zhu Honggong to understand these things.
"Oh, right!"
He slapped his thigh and said, "Seventh Senior Brother, we've already obtained five Heaven Suppression Pestles. At this rate, we'll find out soon."
"Five?" Lu Zhou was inwardly shocked.
From the Feather Emperor's attitude, it could be seen that the Heaven Suppression Pestle was no ordinary item. This person called Seven Lives actually had the ability to seize the five Heaven Suppression Pestles? Could this person really be the reincarnation of the Seventh Brother?
"Feng Yufeng, Zhan Meng, and Qiang Ke took the initiative to deliver the Heaven Suppressing Pestle. Tu Wei could get it himself. After Great Emperor Tu Wei passed away, there would be no leader. Seventh Senior Brother would be the biggest master, and the other one is … "
Zhu Honggong looked outside again and said, "Master, I suspect there's something going on between Seventh Senior Brother and that Lan Xihe!"
"Slap yourself!"
Pa!
Zhu Honggong slapped himself in a practiced manner and said, "I'm just making a wild guess. I don't have any solid proof. After obtaining these five Heaven Suppressing Pestles, my seventh senior martial brother sent me to Xuan Ke to test the Emperor's attitude. Aren't you making things difficult for me? "
Lu Zhou placed his hands on his back as he looked at Zhu Honggong and said, "Have you ever thought that if this person wasn't your Seventh Senior Brother, all of you would've fallen into his trap and been used by him?"
Zhu Honggong was stunned.
He was speechless for a long time.
His judgment was the same as that of the four elders. Judging from all the signs, this person should be the Seventh Brother. Among his fellow disciples, he was one of the ones who had spent the most time with Si Wuya. He thought he understood Si Wuya quite well. However, it was not impossible for all of this to be an illusion.
Qi Sheng had revealed the secret that he was Si Wuya, intentionally or unintentionally, but he had never been honest about it. Nobody knew why.
Now that he thought about it, his master's words made sense.
"Damn! So, he's a liar! "Zhu Honggong suddenly cursed." I've lived up to my reputation, and yet, I was almost deceived by a despicable person. "
Lu Zhou said, "It's too early to tell. What I'm saying is that we should always have a backup plan. "
"You're right, master." Zhu Honggong said, "If this person is really an impostor, you must punish him to avenge us, master! He's been ordering us around for decades! "
"Since he has five Heaven Suppression Pestles, it's only natural that he would think of a way to get the rest."
The Heaven Suppression Pestles gifted by Big Yuan were in Lu Zhou's hands.
They were bound to meet sooner or later.
"This person is very cunning. He'll gather all ten Heaven Suppression Pestles sooner or later."
Zhu Honggong pointed in the direction of the Holy Temple and complained, "You have no idea how cunning and terrifying he is. The recent Zhan Meng incident was orchestrated by him. What kind of person is that Great Magus God of Great Void? He killed him just like that! "
Lu Zhou said indifferently, "Do you really think he's capable of killing Wu Zu? He's only using the Holy Temple's power. "
"You're right, master." Zhu Honggong chuckled and said, "I don't know what's wrong with me today, but my muddle-headed mind seems to have cleared up after talking to you. Master, your words have enlightened me! I didn't know I was so stupid in the past. "
"That's enough."
Lu Zhou could not be bothered to listen to his flattery. "Regardless of his motives, keep it a secret for now. Return to the Holy Temple for now, and we'll pretend nothing happened today. "
Before all 36 Birth Charts were activated, he could not afford to cause too much of a commotion.
Moreover, he had a feeling that Emperor Darkheart was plotting something as well.
Great Emperor Tu Wei and the Great Magus God of Great Void had fallen, and yet Ming Xin did nothing about it. He even allowed the elites of the Four Emperors to take away the possessor of the Great Void Seed. Ming Xin was the ruler of the Holy Temple and the person with the highest position in the Great Void. Logically speaking, he should be very protective of his own reputation and the position of the Holy Temple's master. Apart from a slight emphasis on balance, he had neglected everything else.
This clearly did not fit the mindset of a person with a high position.
What was he doing?
"Master?"
Zhu Honggong interrupted Lu Zhou's thoughts. He bowed and said, "In that case … I'll take my leave."
Lu Zhou waved his sleeve and said, "Go."
Suddenly, Zhu Honggong lunged toward Lu Zhou. He hugged Lu Zhou's thigh and said with a bitter expression on his face, "Master, I can't bear to part with you! We've just reunited, and we haven't even talked enough before we have to part. My heart aches! "
"…"
"Ah, master …"
Lu Zhou frowned at Zhu Honggong's prolonged 'ah'. His scalp felt numb.
Lu Zhou immediately kicked him. "Scram."
Zhu Honggong immediately stopped crying. He sniffed his snot and wiped his tears away. He said, "Yes, master!"
He turned around and left the great hall.
Outside the great hall.
Lu Zhou straightened his back and took a deep breath. Then, he walked out with his hands on his back.
He saw many people waiting outside the great hall. All of them were looking at him curiously.
Little Yuan 'er, Conch, the Daoist boy, Zhang He, Li Chun, and many Dark Armor Guards were looking at him as though he was a monkey. They wanted to laugh, but they held back their laughter.
Zhu Honggong frowned and said, "Laugh all you want … When my master finds out that you're disrespecting me, I'd like to see how you're going to deal with this."
The others stopped laughing.
Instead of fear and nervousness, they wore expressions that said, "Why is this person so retarded?" and "Why did Pavilion Master Lu take in such a trashy disciple?"
As he spoke, Zhu Honggong swaggered into the skies and vanished from sight.
"He left just like that?"
"What's going on?"
The others exchanged a look.
They were still puzzled.
Lu Zhou walked out of the great hall.
He walked toward the Dark Armor Hall.
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "Why did you let him go, Pavilion Master Lu?"
Lu Zhou said, "Tell everyone in the Dark Armor Hall to keep what happened today a secret."
"I've already given the order," Imperial Lord Xuan Pin said.
"There are some things that I can't tell you. Zhi Guangji must be feeling terrible after taking a hit from me. He won't be coming back anytime soon, "Lu Zhou said.
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin smiled and said, "Pavilion Master Lu, your methods are shocking. I'm impressed."
Lu Zhou left the Dark Armor Hall.
He returned to the dojo near the Dark Armor Hall.
Little Yuan 'er, Conch, and Great Emperor Shang Zhang wanted to come with him, but he turned them down.
At this moment, he had to confirm something important: the method of resurrection.
The sun set.
The last ray of light shone into the dojo.
Lu Zhou brought out the Dao Preaching Canon and placed it before him.
It had been some time since he last meditated on the Dao Preaching Canon. He had even successfully used the method of resurrection on Qin Yuan's daughter.
In that case, he could not tell if it was successful when he used it on Si Wuya previously.
Lu Zhou looked at the painting. He raised his hand and pressed it lightly against the painting.
He mobilized his consciousness, and his Primal Qi vibrated.
Swoosh!
Lu Zhou felt a miniature vortex appear in his consciousness. It was like a black hole in the vast universe that absorbed his consciousness.
Whoosh!
The scenery around him changed. Birds and beasts appeared in the forest. The sky was filled with stars, and the sun and moon were nowhere to be seen.
This was the scene from the Resurrection Scroll.
"Where am I?"
Lu Zhou flew along the birds and beasts in the forest.
No matter how he flew, he could not get out of this area. It was as though he was spinning in circles.
"The Resurrection Scroll?"
Lu Zhou knew his consciousness was only in the scroll. He could not move his body.
With a thought, he returned to his consciousness in the air. He pushed his palm forward, and his sense of touch returned. He mobilized his Primal Qi again, and his consciousness followed it.
As expected …
Another miniature vortex appeared before him, and his consciousness was sucked in.
Splash!
This time, Lu Zhou entered the pitch-black depths of the ocean.
He was in the depths of the familiar ocean.
He could not see anything, not even the oceanic beasts.
Lu Zhou flew through the waves.
He kept flying in the endless darkness.
Finally, he heard the Fiend God's voice.
It was a familiar reprimand. "Preach? Preach?"
Indeed, this was an item left behind by the Fiend God. The Fiend God's cultivation insights and cultivation secrets were recorded in the Dao Preaching Scroll.
This secret might be the key to breaking through the shackles.
Lu Zhou flew forward in the darkness.
Sure enough, he saw a square-shaped object shining with golden light in front of him.
"A merit stone?" Something stirred in Lu Zhou's heart as he continued flying forward.
Just like before, when he reached a certain distance, a warning rang in his ears again. "Don't get close if you're not strong enough."
"Don't get close if you're not strong enough!"
"Don't get close if you're not strong enough!"
The warning was repeated three times.
Lu Zhou felt an invisible force blocking his path. No matter how hard he tried, he could not go any further.
His instincts told him that the secret of the resurrection method was just ahead.
"Do I have to stop here?" Lu Zhou looked at the merit stone in the darkness. He was unwilling to give up.
"Perhaps, the merit stone in the Resurrection Scroll is only an image and not a real thing," Lu Zhou thought to himself.
If it was a real thing, why did he not feel anything in the deep sea?
All of this must be an illusion sealed in the scroll.
It was a reminder to Lu Zhou not to search for merit stones when he was not strong enough.
"The sea?"
Lu Zhou looked around. "Could the merit stone be in the sea?"
Something stirred in Lu Zhou's heart.
He looked at the merit stone again.
There were nine squares on each face of the merit stone. Each of them was carved with shining golden scripts.
Unfortunately, he was too far away. He could not see the words clearly.
He kept trying to get closer, but he could not move an inch.
'Did the Fiend God stop here when he searched for the merit stone? Is that why the sealed image ended here?'
It was not that he could not reach the merit stone, but it was all an illusion!
Swoosh!
Lu Zhou opened his eyes.
Before he knew it, the sky had brightened.
The morning sun shone on the dojo's floor through the balcony.
He felt slightly dazed. It was as though he had slept for a long time. It was as though he had just woken up from a dream.
"The ability to defy the heavenly path is to defy the heavens. The method of resurrection … "Lu Zhou muttered to himself," Is Old Seventh really resurrected? "
…
Meanwhile.
Zhu Honggong returned to the Holy Temple through the passage.
That night, Zhu Honggong did not look for Qi Sheng.
Early the next morning, Qi Sheng went to Zhu Honggong's room first.
"Temple Master Tu Wei requests an audience with Mister Zhu." A voice rang from outside.
"I won't see him."
Zhu Honggong said impatiently.
Zhu Honggong had barely finished speaking when Qi Sheng walked in with his hands on his back. He said, "What happened? Why are you so anxious?"
Zhu Honggong was startled. He cursed, "What's wrong with you? You barged in without knocking? Get out! "
Qi Sheng ignored Zhu Honggong. He walked over and sat down. He said, "What do you think about the favor I asked of you?"
"That's enough," Zhu Honggong said sternly as he rose to his feet. "Do you really think you can deceive me?"
"Hm?" Qi Sheng felt that Zhu Honggong had changed.
"Keep your petty thoughts to yourself." "Out of respect for the temple master, I've been willing to do whatever you want and do whatever you want because I don't want to worsen our relationship."
"I don't understand what you're saying," Qi Sheng said, puzzled.
