"Woo——"
In front of the company headquarters gate, Sun Haoran stretched his body.
"it is finally over."
With that said, he picked up his suitcase and prepared to go back to Xu Si's jurisdiction.
The affairs in the southwest region should not have been under his control in the first place. He was forced to be arrested because he happened to become a "temporary worker" at this juncture.
But now, what the Heavenly Master asked him to do has been brought, and the company's top management also knows that there is no point in continuing to monitor this person. On the contrary, it may really make him angry, so Sun Haoran's mission is almost over. After all, it is impossible for people in the company to really take action against the Heavenly Master.
It was not something that he, a young temporary worker, could do to appease the elderly. He had to let the old guys above who knew how to deal with the world do it.
Soon, Sun Haoran followed the address Xu Si sent him to an abandoned villa on the edge of the city.
······
"Fourth, can you hear me clearly?"
In the villa, Xu San fixed his phone on the stand and asked at the screen.
"ok, it's clear, no problem..."
The phone was playing video, and it was Xu Si's face on the screen. Because the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master went down to search for all the people on the map, the people in charge in each area were extremely busy. Xu Si couldn't spare the time to come back in person for the time being, so he could only communicate through video.
At this moment, there were four people sitting around the room: Feng Baobao, Zhang Chulan and Xu San, plus Xu Si on the mobile phone screen. However, the meeting did not start immediately, and they all waited quietly.
"clatter--"
Soon, the sound of footsteps going upstairs came from outside the door.
"Hey, why do you need me to come here in such a hurry?"
Sun Haoran entered the room without a door and asked with some confusion when he saw several people gathered around with solemn expressions.
"You're finally back, I'm waiting for you alone."
Xu Si said calmly on the screen, "Zhang Chulan said that he had figured out the gains from this trip to Longhu Mountain and the next direction of action, so I asked you to come back quickly. We are in the same boat now... …”
"Okay, okay, okay..." Sun Haoran shrugged helplessly, "You don't have to remind me of this kind of thing every time. Zhang Chulan is my brother, and his business is my business."
"That's good……"
Xu Si nodded lightly and stopped talking.
Afterwards, everyone turned their attention to Zhang Chulan, who had been sitting silently on the plastic bench.
"All right……"
Seeing this, Zhang Chulan sighed slightly, organized his words and began to explain, "Then let me talk about the current situation first. In the eyes of outsiders, this trip to Longhu Mountain can be said to be nothing more than being involved in a series of I gained nothing but trouble, after all, I even refused the qualification to inherit the position of Heavenly Master that I had already obtained."
"Um……"
Everyone nodded slightly when they heard this.
Who dares to argue about the inheritance of the position of Heavenly Master at this time? After all, the old Celestial Master is going around killing people in anger at the moment... Even if Zhang Chulan accepts the qualification to succeed the Celestial Master, it is estimated that the old Celestial Master who is in anger will not pass on the position for the time being.
In general, they seemed to have gained nothing from this trip to Longhu Mountain. As for Sun Haoran's becoming a temporary worker, they had already considered it not a gain. After all, this was just due to the situation. Although being a temporary worker meant " Freedom' but 'freedom' does not come without a price.
"But that's actually not the case..."
Zhang Chulan suddenly changed the topic, "Outsiders will think that we have gained nothing because the interests they care about are completely different from what we care about..."
As he spoke, he looked at Feng Baobao.
Xu San and Xu Si nodded slightly. Everyone felt that their trip to Longhu Mountain was to make a profit. In the eyes of ordinary people, the profit was of course only the 'position of Heavenly Master'. After all, everyone would think that Zhang Chulan, who is responsible for the source of Qi Ti, took such a big risk to go up the mountain. Apart from this position, what else is worth the risk?
But in fact, they didn't care about the so-called 'position of Heavenly Master' at all. All actions were carried out around Feng Baobao. Even the forced matter of Sun Haoran becoming a temporary worker, they had thought of it and used it to confuse the public.
"And you think you have gained nothing because you have fallen into a misunderstanding since Mr. Xu Xiang..."
Zhang Chulan's eyes narrowed slightly and asked Xu San and Xu Si, "My grandfather should have said this to Mr. Xu Xiang...'Sister Bao'er's life experience cannot avoid that turmoil.' Mr. Xu Xiang naturally Interpret this sentence to mean that if you want to solve the mystery of Sister Bao'er's life experience, you must uncover the truth about the Jiashen Rebellion! I think this is because grandpa deliberately took Mr. Xu Xiang into the ditch..."
"On purpose? Why?"
Xu San was a little confused.
"For a very simple reason..."
Zhang Chulan looked at Feng Bao'er and said calmly, "Uncovering the truth will reveal your life experience, and I am the key to uncovering the truth... So as long as the truth is not revealed, Sister Bao'er will always stay by my side... I Grandpa most likely thinks that it is impossible for Mr. Xu Xiang and Sister Baoer to reveal the truth, so that I will have a powerful guard like Sister Baoer around me for the rest of my life. To put it simply... you have all been used by my grandfather."
"You mean, Zhang Huaiyi has been lying to my father?"
Xu San frowned slightly.
"Don't you understand yet? No wonder the fourth brother is the person in charge, not you..."
Sun Haoran complained speechlessly.
"Haha...Lao San just takes things too seriously. Such a person is not suitable to be the person in charge of the region..."
Xu Si's tone on the screen was also a little helpless. This was probably the reason why his father asked him to be the person in charge of the region instead of the third child. Fortunately, their brothers all had the same goal and did not care about such trivial matters, "Old man Third, you can't speak so absolutely. 'Lies' are the most difficult to distinguish when they are half-truth and half-false. In other words, Zhang Huaiyi did not lie to people back then, he just buried a 'trap' in his words. Lie, but not completely, you know what I mean?"
"ah?"
Xu San felt a little baffled.
"Yes," Zhang Chulan nodded, "Sister Bao'er's life experience is indeed related to the Jiashen Rebellion, but it is not the whole of the Jiashen Rebellion! It is just a piece of information related to the Jiashen Rebellion... At the beginning Mr. Xu Xiang should have started his actions with the purpose of uncovering the truth about the Jiashen Rebellion... but the result was that he encountered obstacles everywhere."
"Actually, I can't blame him... because there are probably no other clues other than that." Sun Haoran sighed slightly, "Sister Bao'er's life experience is not the whole story of the Jiashen Rebellion, but the reverse is also true... Uncovering Knowing the truth about the Jiashen Rebellion must be helpful to understand Sister Baoer's life experience. Mr. Xu Xiang couldn't find any other way, so he could only try the stupidest method... and this trial will last most of his life."
After hearing this, everyone fell into silence, and the atmosphere became heavy.
After a long time, Zhang Chulan continued, "That's probably it... So the one who gained something from this trip to Longhu Mountain was not us, but me."
"And me, my gains are actually quite big."
Sun Haoran smiled softly, relaxing the atmosphere.
But this is not entirely comforting Zhang Chulan.
He did gain something, and aside from his status as a 'temporary worker', he also confirmed with his own eyes the strength of the Heavenly Master, which was probably the highest 'combat power' in the world.
This kind of 'combat power' was even more terrifying than he had previously expected. After all, it might not be far from the legendary 'immortal'.
The most important thing is that he figured out what the source of power in his body is...
That is the legendary 'Monkey King' Sun Wukong!
And Sun Wukong also has another identity... Fighting and Victory Buddha.
Let's take a look at the description given by the system to 'Monkey King Blood (Remnant)'. This is so damaged that only the most 'violent' bloodline of the 'Monkey King' remains. So what could be the incomplete part?
Suddenly Sun Haoran's thinking seemed to become clear.
Next, he has to find a way to complete this bloodline. If he can succeed, he may really be able to become an immortal and a Buddha through this bloodline...
No...that's not right.
Thinking of this, Sun Haoran suddenly felt strange.
Why is the Holy Blood of Monkey King broken? After all, will the 'Great Sage' really allow his bloodline to live in the world?
In other words...could it be possible that it was his own will to peel off this broken bloodline? ?
Perhaps becoming an immortal and becoming a Buddha is not the end, because even immortals and Buddhas are still bound by the 'way of heaven'. Immortals and Buddhas seem to be only negative buffs to the 'Monkey King'. After all, he was supposed to jump out of the three realms. Existence that is not in the Five Elements.
The existence of the 'broken' 'Quitian Holy Blood' may not be meaningless.
Since there is a will to fight against the way of heaven in this bloodline, then there may be other paths besides "immortal" and "buddha", and such a path may only be the "Monkey King" before becoming a Buddha. Only then can you choose the path.
Did that great sage from ancient times...want to become enlightened through blood?
"Brother...brother!?"
"Um?"
"What's wrong with you? You suddenly became distracted again?"
Zhang Chulan looked worriedly at Sun Haoran who was suddenly distracted again. He always felt that this person seemed to be the same as himself. He had been worried since he came back from Longhu Mountain, but he just had too many things to deal with recently and had no time to sort them out. …
"Nothing...you continue."
Sun Haoran shook his head slightly.
It seems too far away to consider these things now. After all, I am still far away from the heavenly master. The troubles in the 'human world' can give me a terrible headache. I'd better solve the immediate troubles first...
"Oh...Okay, then I'll continue..."
Zhang Chulan stopped asking any more questions, reorganized his words and said to a few people, "Do you still remember the first time we formally met with the old Celestial Master on Longhu Mountain? Those present at that time were Celestial Master, Master Tian, and There is Mr. Lu Jin..."
"Um."
Several people nodded.
Zhang Chulan continued, "The attitudes of these three people at that time were very interesting... Master Tian and Master Lu easily told what they knew, but Master Tian remained tight-lipped... Don't you think there is anything worth pondering here?" Something?"
"Why haven't you thought about it?" On the screen, Xu Si replied calmly while smoking a cigarette, "According to my judgment, it is very likely that although Mr. Tian and Mr. Lu were also experiencers back then, they only knew some irrelevant information. The real Only the Celestial Master knows the key information."
"And according to the master's usual out-of-the-box personality, he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who is very strict with his words."
Sun Haoran continued, "If you really want to hide something, the best way is not to remain silent, because silence is no different from acquiescence in some situations. I think the reason why Master Tian remains silent is not his own will, but He couldn't say... just like Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing we met at the Luotian Dajiao. Do you still remember the scene when Zhuge Qing vomited blood? That was the result of his peeking at the way of heaven and being backlashed. Some things looked mysterious. , but maybe it really exists..."
"You mean..." Xu San frowned, "The Heavenly Master is probably the same as them. He knows something but is unable to say it because of the influence of 'Tiandao'?"
"Maybe there is some kind of restriction on him that prevents him from speaking out even if he knows it." Xu Si continued.
"That's right... and I think that restriction is probably the 'Celestial Master' that can only be passed down by the previous Heavenly Master if you inherit the position of Heavenly Master." Zhang Chulan nodded slightly, "That's why I chose to refuse the inheritance. The position of Heavenly Master.”
"Ah? Why?"
Xu San was confused again, "If the secrets are all in Tianshidu, wouldn't you know it if you inherited it?"
"A secret that cannot be told will always remain a secret." Sun Haoran said lightly.
"That's right, and I always feel that Heavenly Master is the same as my grandfather." Zhang Chulan nodded slowly and said, "They all want to take us into the ditch!"
"Forget it about your grandpa, why did Heavenly Master take us into the ditch?" Xu San had given up thinking.
"Click——"
The lighter's flame lit up slightly in the dark room. Zhang Chulan lit a cigarette, reorganized his mood and prepared to continue.
He didn't like the feeling of being arranged, even if the people who wanted to arrange it were his grandfather and master.
"My grandfather deceived Mr. Xu Xiang and Sister Bao'er to protect me...and my master has been deceiving me to become a Celestial Master. Why do you think this is?"
"This Luo Tian Jiao was originally planned by Master Tian."
Sun Haoran made the point.
"That's right," Zhang Chulan said with a helpless expression while holding a cigarette in his mouth, "He planned it all to make me a heavenly master."
"The key point is that we must make 'you' a Heavenly Master." Sun Haoran said lightly.
A smile appeared on Zhang Chulan's face, and she looked at Sun Haoran beside her with a "you still understand me" expression, "That's about it."
"???"
Xu San said that he still didn't understand, "Please, can you all speak human language?"
"Third brother, let me ask you...are there any benefits to becoming a Heavenly Master?" Zhang Chulan asked.
"The status of 'Celestial Master' is extremely high..." Xu San seemed to finally understand something, "Whether it is in the alien world or the entire domestic society, Longhu Mountain Celestial Master is more of a symbol... Celestial Masters are generally He won’t go down the mountain. It is said that there is an unwritten rule that no matter who you want to see the Celestial Master... you have to climb the mountain yourself... Such people and companies cannot be easily touched."
