Relying on far superior speed and reaction than ordinary people, Hu Xiuwu successfully completed all summer homework with high quality and quantity before the end of summer vacation. He and Wang also successfully entered junior high school.
After he was promoted to junior high school, Hu Xiuwu realized something was wrong.
I have entered junior high school, I have left my original school, and my teachers have changed. Why do I still have to do my homework?
Among the group of friends who were in the same class as him and who went to junior high school together, he was the only one who still had Liu Muzhi, who was serious about studying, to do his homework. Xiaotian and Jin Yuanyuan both had a fun summer vacation.
It’s all Liao Zhong’s fault! Make him forget this incident and make his efforts in vain. Hu Xiuwu thought angrily.
And Wang Ye
Wang Ye must have known about this, but he did not tell Hu Xiuwu.
'Revenge, this is definitely Wang Ye's revenge for me trying to beat him up. '
After entering junior high school, Hu Xiuwu spent a peaceful month. Hui Erye has been communicating with old friends in the Northeast during this period.
According to what Second Master Hui learned, the shaman lineage has not been able to catch the person who got the demon sword. This person is very smart. He never confronts Liu Kunsheng’s disciples and runs away when he sees them. He will not fight with Liu Kunsheng’s disciples. Entanglement is like a loach, slippery and unrestrained.
But the other disciples who came out were holding tight behind him, and he still couldn't get out of the confinement and leave the Northeast Region.
Before the National Day holiday, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan finally returned to Sijiu City.
Wang Kaixuan first went back to his and Hu Bayi's rental house to tidy up the house, while Hu Bayi went to his parents' home to report that they were safe.
But when he arrived at his parents' house, before his butt was warm, he was scolded by Hu's mother, which made Hu Bayi confused. He didn't know where he made his mother angry.
After listening carefully, he realized that it was Hu Xiuwu who had put the blame on him. The key was that Hu Bayi could not refute, so he could only accept Hu's mother's scolding in depression.
Although Hu’s mother didn’t give Hu Bayi a good look, she still prepared a large table of Hu Bayi’s favorite dishes for dinner. She also called Wang Kaixuan over, and the family had a lively meal. .
At the same time, Wang Kaixuan accidentally let the old couple know about Shirley Yang, which made them extremely happy.
When their youngest son grows up like that, they naturally don't have to worry about his marriage, but they have to worry about his future misdeeds.
Hu Bayi is already in his thirties and has not yet been married. Their eldest son's marriage is a big worry for them. This time, Hu Bayi finally has someone he likes, and the woman seems interesting too. This is really great. But that's it.
After eating, Hu Bayi got rid of his parents' inquiries in embarrassment, and returned to their home with Wang Kaixuan.
Hu Xiuwu made the excuse that he wanted to stay with his elder brother for a while, so he followed him away.
Returning to the house rented by Hu Bayi and the two of them, Hu Xiuwu asked about their situation.
Hu Bayi told him about the situation after their separation, which was the same as what Hui Erye said.
Nadutong did not embarrass the two of them. On the contrary, Liao Zhong also invited them to join the company on behalf of Nadutong.
Hu Bayi was not a peaceful boss. After he retired from the army, the army originally arranged for him a position with good salary and leisure. However, he disliked the position as too comfortable and resigned after working for a while.
He went to Sijiucheng to set up a stall with Wang Kaixuan, and later went on a robbing fight with him. He didn't just make money by robbing, but he liked this kind of adventurous life.
(The world's greatest singer has personally said that Hu Bayi's prototype is the romantic and uninhibited Zhong Yuemin in Red Romance.)
And the feeling he felt from everywhere was the same as when he was in the army. Although the training was very hard and boring, the days when he went out on missions were thrilling and thrilling.
So after Nadutong sent out the invitation, he hesitated for a while but agreed.
However, Wang Kaixuan was different. He carefully and politely declined Liao Zhong's invitation.
Liao Zhong was a little surprised, but he was not angry. He just told him not to break the law or tell ordinary people about the alien world, and sent them away from the bunker.
When Hu Bayi talked about this incident, he still complained about Wang Kaixuan:
"After all, you are still eating from the government. Tell me why you, a fat comrade, have such low consciousness. Didn't you always want to be a soldier?"
Wang Kaixuan cursed loudly: "It's not because of you."
Hu Bayi: "???"
"How did you get expelled from the army last time? You forgot. Old Hu, you are easy to get confused when you get in trouble. What if at some point, you get mad again, violate discipline, and get expelled from Nadutong?"
Wang Kaixuan said plausibly:
"I'm leaving a way out for you. If you make mistakes again and get fired, at least you can come to Panjiayuan to find your Mr. Kai. Mr. Liao returned Wen Xiangyu to us, and we can rely on it to stay in Panjiayuan." Purchase a store."
"If you are fired from anywhere, come to Panjiayuan to find me. As long as I have something to eat, you will be indispensable. Besides, if you really need help from anywhere, I can do the same as Brother Meng. , I will work as a temporary worker for you."
"Fat man,"
Hu Bayi was a little touched. He really didn't expect that Wang Kaixuan would think so far for him this time. But he still said stiffly: "Don't worry, that won't happen."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit sensational, and feeling that Shirley Yang's status seemed to be in jeopardy, Hu Xiuwu changed the subject and said:
"By the way, how is Shirley Yang?"
When it comes to Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi is all familiar with it: "Snowley failed to become a strange person, but the curse on her body was still found a way to be eliminated by the researchers of the bunker."
"She was also released, but she returned abroad first to deal with the company's affairs. She felt that the domestic investment environment was better and wanted to move the company to Sijiu City."
Wang Kaixuan teased from the side: "I don't know if it's the environment that's good or the people that are good."
But Hu Bayi didn't pick up on him, which meant that he had just been moved by Wang Kaixuan, otherwise he would definitely fight back.
Hu Xiuwu asked: "How is your health?"
"Well, the Anbao researchers have been studying for a long time, and they really thought of a way. They extracted a trace of yang qi from the Muchen Bead, and combined it with the yin qi in Lao Hu and I, so that the yin and yang in our bodies complement each other. Solved our hidden dangers.”
Mentioning this, Wang Kaixuan was also very happy. From now on, they can be regarded as real strangers.
Hu Bayi joked: "This fat guy thought he could become as fierce as King Xian, but he was poured cold water on him by Mr. Liao."
King Xian was able to transform into a dragon because he forcibly fused the Muchen Bead and Tai Sui, two divine objects, into his body.
However, the two of them only had a hint of the snake god's yin energy and yang energy, how could they compare with King Xian.
In Liao Zhong's words: "The emperor, his ministers, and his envoys, Xian Wang has collected three things, but the most important thing is missing. You can make a furnace of elixir, but you only have one main ingredient, which is not complete, and it is of no use."
Hu Bayi continued: "After I joined Nadutong, the company decided to place me in Sijiucheng, so that I can be closer to home."
There is a mixed bag of good and bad people in Sijiu City. Hu Bayi can be considered a local snake here, and he can do things with less scruples.
In addition, the person in charge of the North China region is the oldest and most experienced among all the regional leaders, so he can also take care of Hu Bayi.
Hu Xiuwu didn't understand these arrangements and said casually: "I thought Uncle Liao would leave you in the bunker and continue the archaeological operation."
Seeing Hu Xiuwu mentioning this matter, Wang Kaixuan couldn't help coughing, and Hu Bayi also looked strange.
Hu Xiuwu:? ? ?
Finally, Hu Bayi explained: "Originally, Liao always considered this, but then the people in the bunker discovered that the two of us were destined to be in trouble."
"Fate of storm" is a special kind of fate. People with this fate can predetermine the development of things in a certain field and are not controlled by the target's own will.
Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi went to the Jin Dynasty general's tomb in Niuxin Mountain, but the general's tomb was burned down; they went to the ancient city of Jingjue, which was buried in the yellow sand; they went to the Fish Bone Temple, but the ghost tomb was completely missing.
Finally, I went to the Tomb of King Xian with Liao Zhong.
Good guy, this time it's even worse. The entire Hades Palace and the cold pool at the bottom of the valley were swallowed up by King Xian. Not to mention the mausoleum, not even a piece of bluestone was left.
Not all tombs need to be destroyed. They are all treasures left by the ancients and are of great research value.
Therefore, the company thought again and again and still did not let Hu Bayi do his old job.
Wang Kaixuan said depressingly: "If it weren't for Mr. Liao's words, I really wouldn't believe that there is such a fate. What a coincidence that Lao Hu and I met."
Hu Xiuwu grinned. Hu Bayi felt a little unhappy when he saw his brother's happy look, and poured cold water on him:
"Don't be too happy too early. The people in the bunker suspect that you may also be a fateful person. It's just that you ran away early and the bunker didn't have time to check on you."
However, Hu Xiuwu didn't care about this matter. Unlike Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi, he didn't have much desire for bright weapons.
When I went to the Fish Bone Temple before, I was just curious about the thrilling adventure stories told by Hu Bayi.
While the three of them were talking and laughing, Hu Xiuwu remembered the story of the Gu-body Holy Boy:
"By the way, how is that Gu boy?"
Thinking of what happened to the Gu boy, Hu Bayi sighed:
"Gu child? I remember that before we left, the bunker made a new protective suit for her, and then Mr. Liao also found a way to break the emotional barrier set up for her by the Medicine Fairy Society."
"Now she is learning common sense and language in the bunker,"
Hu Bayi seemed to have remembered something and said to Hu Xiuwu:
"By the way, her name is Chen Duo now."
(Logically speaking, now that Chen Junyan is not in the bunker, he shouldn’t be called Chen Duo, but it feels a little less flavorful if he is not called Chen Duo.)
Hearing that Chen Duo was doing well now, Hu Xiuwu felt relieved.
He knew that he and Chen Duo would not be able to see each other in a short period of time, and the bunker was not accessible casually, so he could only hope that Liao Zhong could take good care of her.
Hu Xiuwu raised his head and looked at Hu Bayi: "Brother, I will take you to meet the second master tomorrow. He has long wanted to meet you."
"OK."
When Hu Bayi was a child, his grandfather Hu Guohua often told him the story of Mr. Hui.
Hu Guohua always lamented that although those days were decadent, they were the most carefree days in his life, so Hu Bayi had long wanted to meet his elder.
The next day, Wang Kaixuan was cleaning up the room in the rental house, while Hu Bayi and Hu Xiuwu returned to their room in the courtyard to meet Mr. Hui.
This is the first time for Hu Bayi to meet Second Master Hui, but it is not the first time for Second Master Hui to meet him. You must know that Hu Bayi was able to find the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" because of Second Master Hui. Take action secretly.
It's just that due to the rules of being able to go anywhere, he didn't really appear in front of Hu Bayi.
Seeing Hu Bayi and Hu Xiuwu saluting in front of him, Second Master Hui couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. Hu Bayi also felt that Second Master Hui was very similar to his own grandfather, which gave him a natural feeling of closeness.
After the three of them enjoyed their family life for a while, Mr. Hui started talking about business. He told him about his intention to accept Hu Bayi as his disciple, as well as the current situation in the Northeast Region, and asked him to think about it carefully. .
Hu Bayi is naturally willing to become Master Hui Er's disciple, and he is never afraid of danger.
But the matter of getting involved in the Northeast Region is no longer up to him.
Hui Erye didn't know yet that Hu Bayi had joined Nadutong, and Hu Xiuwu didn't know much about the situation.
Like the knights who joined the six sects in ancient times, you can secretly help the sect you came from, but you can't help openly and with a stick.
Once you enter the public gate, your actions no longer just represent yourself.
Hearing Hu Bayi say that he had joined Nadutong, Mr. Hui was not angry. On the contrary, he stroked his beard and said to Hu Bayi with a smile:
"In that case, why don't you ask your boss if he can give you a day off?"
You can also check the company's tone at will to see what Yandoutong thinks about this matter.
Hu Bayi sighed: "I haven't joined the job yet, so I'm disturbing my boss. I hope he is a generous person and won't make me wear small shoes in the future."
He took out a photo from his pocket. The photo showed a man who looked quite old and would also be his future boss.
Liao Zhong was worried that Hu Bayi would not recognize his future boss and would make a joke. He specially found a photo of the person in charge of the North China Region and gave it to him, and wrote his number on the back of the photo.
Hu Bayi used the mobile phone Shirley Yangxin bought for him a while ago and dialed the number on the photo:
"Hey, is this General Manager Xu Xiang? I'm Xiao Hu who will join the job in a while... Yes, I have something to ask you, that is..."
"...That's how it is, do you have any opinion?"
"Okay, I'll wait for your reply." Hu Bayi said to Mr. Hui, "The other person on the phone said he wanted to ask."
Hu Xiuwu glanced at the person in the photo casually, and this glance directly made his pupils shrink.
Because he knew the person in the photo. He was the person who finally appeared in front of him and Zhang Huaiyi on the Eight Immortals Mountain. The person next to him at that time was Feng Baobao, who had led Zhao Fangxu to come here specifically to test him.
It turns out that this person's name is Xu Xiang. It turns out that he is from the company. No wonder Zhao Fangxu is so familiar with Teacher Huaiyi's affairs.
Hu Xiuwu thought to himself.
Although he knew Xu Xiang's identity, Hu Xiuwu had no intention of going to Xu Xiang to find out the secret of the so-called Jiashen Rebellion.
With his current level of cultivation, he is not qualified to explore such a major secret.
However, Zhao Fangxu had just warned him and asked him to keep the secret, so why did he arrange for his eldest brother to be with Xu Xiang.
In fact, this was not what Zhao Fangxu had in mind.
Hu Bayi has a special status. He joined Nadoutong and his position arrangement was discussed by the company's board of directors.
He hid Feng Baobao's matter from the other directors, so after others arranged for him to stay in Sijiucheng, he had no excuse to send Hu Baoyi away.
Finding a lame excuse to drive Hu Bayi away would attract other people's attention, so Zhao Fangxu could only let it go.
······
After waiting for a while, Xu Xiang called Hu Bayi back and told him that it was his personal matter and had nothing to do with the company. He then reminded him not to be late for the job and hung up the phone.
He didn't say he allowed Hu Bayi to go, but he didn't stop him either. This in itself showed his attitude.
It seems that just a few people from the shaman lineage can block the people with demonic swords outside the customs. People who are well-versed in the Northeast Region should have secretly helped. It seems that there are some hidden secrets that they don't know about.
Second Master Hui thought for a while, and then said to Hu Bayi:
"Since you have no objection, Xiao Bayi, I will accept you as my disciple today."
