The Jade Slip glowed, which meant that Master Tam Yuan had met the right person.
However, Master Tam Yuan did not say anything, because he still had some doubts. The glow of the Jade Slip was too weak. It could only be called a glimmer, not a glow at all.
Could it be that Tianshu Taoist had used the wrong words? As long as the Jade Slip glowed, it meant that he had met the disciple he wanted, instead of the glowing Jade Slip as he had imagined?
At this time, Master Tam Yuan did not know that Tianshu Taoist had said that the Jade Slip would glow when it touched the existence related to the disciple he had predicted.
If Li Yuan were here, the Jade Slip would definitely shine brightly, and there would be no doubt about it.
But now that Li Yuan was dead, there was no one in the world who could make the Jade Slip shine brightly.
So now, who was the closest person to Li Yuan in terms of karma? It was not even Li Yuan's parents, but Chu Xiu, who had killed Li Yuan!
In this way, the Jade Slip glowed after touching Chu Xiu, although it was only a weak glow.
Because the glow was too weak, Master Tam Yuan was not sure about Chu Xiu. He took the box from Chu Xiu and said in a low voice, "May I ask what is your official position under the Second Prince, Chu?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Master Tam Yuan, you misunderstood. Although I am here on behalf of the Second Prince, I am not from the Eastern Qi imperial court. I am the Guanxi Penal Officer of the Guanzhong Torture Room."
Hearing this, Master Tam Yuan frowned slightly. He was not from the imperial court? Could it be that there was something wrong with the Jade Slip?
Moreover, Master Tam Yuan had been away from the Central Plains for decades. His impression of the Guanzhong Torture Room was still the time when Chu Kuangge had just become famous in Jianghu. At that time, although the Guanzhong Torture Room had an outstanding figure like Chu Kuangge, it was only Chu Kuangge who was famous, not the whole Guanzhong Torture Room.
At this time, the leader of the Cetacean Society, Long Tianying, also got off the boat and stood respectfully behind Master Tam Yuan.
Long Tianying's Cetacean Society traveled between the East Sea and the Central Plains of Eastern Qi. They were very well-informed about the Central Plains during their trade. They were almost the same as the warriors of the Central Plains.
Therefore, Master Tam Yuan immediately sent a voice transmission to inquire about the Guanzhong Torture Room and Chu Xiu.
Hearing this, Long Tianying was stunned. Although he was a little puzzled as to why Master Tam Yuan wanted the news of Chu Xiu, since Master Tam Yuan asked, Long Tianying immediately told Master Tam Yuan everything he knew truthfully.
After listening to it, Master Tam Yuan also frowned. After thinking about it, Chu Xiu was somewhat similar to the image in the comments, but it was also not the same. However, after thinking about it carefully, it made some sense.
Lu Feng's two mouths were covered by the imperial canopy. This was the word 'official'. When it was mentioned, Master Tam Yuan subconsciously thought that the other party was someone from the imperial court. It should be said that this was everyone's subconscious reaction.
However, now that Master Tam Yuan realized that the comments were only the word 'official' and not the imperial court, it seemed that one could also be an official without being in the imperial court. For example, Chu Xiu's current position was the Guanxi Penal Officer, which corresponded with the word 'official'.
As for the hidden dragon in the abyss, it was difficult to abide by the rules. Now that Chu Xiu was ranked sixth on the Longhu Leaderboard, it was probably not appropriate to say that he was a hidden dragon.
However, if one were to think about it carefully, although Chu Xiu was ranked sixth on the Longhu Leaderboard, there was still a huge gap between him and the top five on the Longhu Leaderboard.
Although Chu Xiu was the most outstanding disciple of the Guanzhong torture room's younger generation, be it outsiders or Guan Siyu, they did not treat Chu Xiu as the successor of the Guanzhong torture room. However, some people speculated that there was a certain possibility that Chu Xiu would inherit the Guanzhong torture room.
As for Zhang Chengzhen, Zong Xuan, and the rest? Even from their childhood, their fates were already determined. As long as they did not die, they would be the successor of the sect leader or the abbot. They were destined to be the overlords of the pugilistic world in the future.
Therefore, compared to them, the current Chu Xiu was considered a hidden dragon with an uncertain future.
Master Tam Yuan pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "Chu, you are now the torturer of the Guanzhong torture room and ranked sixth on the Longhu Leaderboard. What do you think of your future?"
Hearing Master Tam Yuan's question, everyone present was stunned.
There were so many people waiting to invite Master Tam Yuan, and there was also the Crown Prince, Lv Longji, and Zong Xuan, who was also a young talent of the Buddhist Sect. In the end, Master Tam Yuan pulled Chu Xiu over to chat. What was going on?
No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't tell just what virtue or ability this Chu Xiu had to be able to obtain Master Tan Yuan's favor.
Could it be because of the gift that Chu Xiu had received? However, something was not right. The box had not even been opened. How could Master Tam Yuan know what was inside?
Even Chu Xiu was in a daze.
It was true that he was prepared to snatch Li Yuan's opportunity. Therefore, from the beginning, Chu Xiu had planned to get close to Master Tam Yuan and strike up a conversation with him. However, he did not expect Master Tam Yuan to take the initiative to talk to him. Could it be that he was really lucky and could immediately replace Li Yuan after killing him?
However, after a short moment of shock, Chu Xiu immediately calmed down.
He was not arrogant enough to think that he was the Son of Luck and that if he stood still, there would be an opportunity falling on him. Although he did not know why Master Tam Yuan asked this question, Chu Xiu subconsciously leaned towards Li Yuan's way of thinking.
What should Li Yuan's future be like now? According to Chu Xiu's analysis, his future could only be described as uncertain.
Although he was the son of the High Duke and the Crown Prince's confidant, the Lin Duke's Residence had already declined. He was not the only confidant of the Crown Prince and he was not the most trusted person.
Most importantly, the Crown Prince's future was uncertain. There was Lü Hau Chang who refused to give up his position and Lü Longguang who was pressuring him. Therefore, Lü Longji, the Crown Prince's future was uncertain, let alone someone who was attached to the Crown Prince.
Therefore, Chu Xiu also harbored such a feeling. He sighed and said, "Master Tam Yuan must be joking. How could a person of my background have any opinions? I, Chu Xiu, was born in the wilderness. My reputation in the Jianghu is mixed. I don't have the support of my sect's inheritance. Back then, I was hunted to the point where I had nowhere to go. Fortunately, I was taken in by the Guanzhong Disciplinary Hall, which made things a little safer. Now, I can only take one step at a time.
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, everyone present subconsciously furrowed their brows. Both good and bad? Did you, Chu Xiu, have a good reputation in the pugilistic world?
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Master Tam Yuan's eyes lit up.
This Chu Xiu's current state of mind was in line with the second sentence of the comment. Since he lacked an inheritance, now that Master Tam Yuan had given him an inheritance, it was the finishing touch, gathering wind and clouds.
As for the last sentence of the comment that predicted the future, Master Tam Yuan also found a reason.
The Guanzhong Torture Room was located in the land of three countries and its location was extremely sensitive.
In the past, Chu Xiu was able to fight against an army of ten thousand and stop the war with force. If the three countries were to go to war again in the future, Chu Xiu's strength would increase greatly after obtaining his inheritance. It was very likely that he would do the same thing as Chu Kuangge, or even better, stop the war between the three countries and save countless people.
It had to be said that sometimes coincidences happened like this. What happened to Chu Xiu was only slightly similar to the comment, but Master Tam Yuan forcefully deduced 80% of it based on these clues.
Coupled with the jade slip that was still emitting a faint glow, no one in the pugilistic world was more in line with Master Tam Yuan's requirements than Chu Xiu.
However, Master Tam Yuan was a person who was about to die after all. He only had one chance to choose an inheritor. Although Chu Xiu was very 'in line' with the jade slip and the comment's requirements, intuition told Master Tam Yuan that he still needed to be more cautious.
However, at this moment, Master Tam Yuan's internal organs felt a sharp pain. Although he looked fine on the outside, his internal organs had already begun to turn upside down.
Master Tam Yuan's lips suddenly revealed a bitter smile. It seemed that he did not even have the chance to choose carefully.
His internal injuries had erupted more severely than he had imagined. Originally, Master Tam Yuan thought that he could hold on for a few months, but now it seemed that it would be difficult for him to even hold on for a few days.
Master Tam Yuan cultivated Buddhist techniques. Although it was not as powerful as the Great Light Temple's body-refining techniques, it was not weak either.
However, all these years, Master Tam Yuan had been constantly running around and fighting, causing the internal injuries in his body to become more and more severe. At this moment, he was already on the verge of collapse and could not hold on any longer.
His body no longer gave Master Tam Yuan the chance to choose. He glanced at the jade slip that was still emitting a faint glow in his hand. Master Tam Yuan said to Chu Xiu in a deep voice, "Chu, this time I came to the Central Plains to return to my roots. However, I do not want to bring my martial arts to the soil.
Therefore, I want to find someone to pass on my martial arts, so that it can save the world and save people, so that it can become a martial art for saving people, not a technique for killing people.
Now, I am going to pass on all my martial arts and the last bit of my skills to you. I do not need you to be my disciple. Between us, we are just teaching, not passing on the Way. Do you want to agree? "
As soon as this was said, everyone present was stunned. No one had expected Master Tam Yuan to say such a thing.
Everyone in the Jianghu knew that Master Tam Yuan did not have any disciples.
Even the Great Light Temple and Subodhi Monastery had so sincerely invited Master Tam Yuan to come to these two places to preach. In addition to building up their reputation and admiring Master Tam Yuan, they also had some ulterior motives.
Since Master Tam Yuan did not have any disciples, would he leave his martial arts in the Great Light Temple or Subodhi Monastery during the preaching process?
In the end, no one had expected that Master Tam Yuan did not leave his martial arts to the people of Subodhi Monastery, nor did he leave it to Zong Xuan, the number one person in the younger generation of the Buddhist Sect in the Jianghu. He actually wanted to leave it to Chu Xiu, who was not related to him and had a bad reputation in the Jianghu!
