Chapter 966 One Person Props up the Tiangong Pavilion (First Update)

"Second, what do you think?"

Ma Qianli grabbed his younger brother who came to escort the materials for casting soldiers, and asked in a low voice.

He had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and his face was full of exhaustion.

In the past few days, in order to gather the required materials for casting soldiers, he has worked his whole life. Most of the wealth accumulated over the years has been consumed.

If he doesn't succeed this time, his Ma family will really be hurt.

"Brother, I can only tell you that Deputy City Lord Wu's strength is unfathomable."

Ma Wanli stopped in his tracks, looked at Ma Qianli solemnly, and said seriously.

"Unfathomable?"

Ma Qianli looked shocked.

"Yes."

Ma Wanli said word by word, "His skill in casting soldiers is not inferior to my master's, and may even be stronger."

"you sure?"

Ma Qianli was really surprised.

"Your master, that is the deputy head of the Tiangong Pavilion, a senior soldier casting master who has been famous for hundreds of years. There are not many people in the world who are better at casting soldiers than him. Wu Zongquan is just a self-taught Ye Luzi is a soldier casting master, and how old is he, can he be compared to Master Ni?"

"I don't know, it's just my feeling."

Ma Wanli shook his head, and said honestly, "This is what I feel after watching him cast soldiers. If you want me to show evidence, then I have no evidence."

"Brother, you know, I have some talent in the art of casting soldiers, I think my feeling is not wrong."

If Zhou Shu could hear Ma Wanli's words, he would definitely look at Ma Wanli with admiration.

This former "prodigal son" who seemed a bit dull, really had a talent for casting soldiers.

The level of soldier-casting skills he showed is only at the level of beginners. It is reasonable to say that ordinary people would not think how powerful he is at all, but this Ma Wanli can see the essence through phenomena, which is very unusual.

Although Zhou Shu showed it deliberately, his art of casting soldiers entered the room, and his every move was naturally concise. Although it was hidden deeply, it was still discovered by Ma Wanli's intuition.

This is impossible without a very high talent for casting soldiers.

You know, Ma Wanli is not even a soldier casting division now.

"Vice City Lord Wu is really so powerful?"

Ma Qianli murmured, if this is true, then he may have made the right move in this move.

Even if he fails and the second child can no longer return to the Tiangong Pavilion, if he can be tied with Deputy City Lord Wu, it may be a blessing in disguise.

Did he bet more on Deputy City Lord Wu?

Ma Qianli pondered for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "Second, if you bring more materials for casting soldiers, we can't let Deputy City Lord Wu be busy for nothing. In addition, please be smart, and you can do whatever Deputy City Lord Wu asks you to do." If you do it quickly, you must make a good impression on him, understand?"

"I understand, brother."

Ma Wanli said honestly.

"If you have a chance, give it a try and see if you can worship Deputy City Lord Wu as your teacher!"

Ma Qianli added.

Ma Wanli hesitated. Although Zhou Shu was unfathomable, he still wanted to return to Tiangong Pavilion.

Tiangong Pavilion is the sacred place of the soldiers, this deep-rooted idea, he can't change it for a while.

"Listen to me, brother will not harm you!"

Ma Qianli said with some headaches.

...

In addition, Zhou Shu casually threw together a remnant soldier who had failed in casting.

This is already his sixth "failure".

"My reputation is ruined."

Zhou Shu said to himself in his heart.

Ever since he learned how to forge soldiers, he has never failed in casting magic weapons.

But now, in order to behave normally, he "failed" continuously in front of Ma Wanli.

In fact, after listening to Ma Wanli's description, Zhou Shu already knew what kind of magical weapon his master wanted.

With his soldier-casting technique, he could actually cast that magic soldier on the spot.

But if that's the case, even if Ma Wanli is dull, he can see that something is wrong.

The Divine Weapons that the Tiangong Pavilion's Deputy Pavilion mainly casts are not ordinary divine weapons. Ordinary soldier-casting masters, even if they try their best, may not be able to forge them.

He is a Yeluzi soldier-casting master. He just listened to someone's description, and immediately forged the magic weapon. It's no wonder.

Of course, Zhou Shu can also claim that he is a genius, and a genius is an unreasonable creature.

But now he wants to keep a low profile, and he doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for himself because of such a trivial matter.

"Hurry up, Ma Wanli, I have a feeling that next time, I will definitely succeed."

Zhou Shu glanced at Ma Wanli next to him, and said.

Zhou Shu also had some thoughts about letting Ma Wanli watch him cast his soldiers.

Of course he wasn't worried that the Ma brothers were worried that he would withhold the materials for casting soldiers. Even if he did withhold the materials, what would the Ma brothers dare to say?

He asked Ma Wanli to come to watch. Firstly, he wanted to see Ma Wanli's level, and secondly, he also wanted to use Ma Wanli to make indirect observations about the situation of Tiangong Pavilion.

"Ma Wanli, tell me about your master's process of casting soldiers again, and let me refer to them in detail."

Zhou Shu said in a deep voice.

Ma Wanli's art of casting soldiers is not a beginner, but Rensheng is honest and obedient. This Tiangong Pavilion has trained him to be very "easy to use", and he can do whatever he is asked to do without resistance at all.

He described it again honestly. His memory is not bad, and he can remember many details clearly.

Zhou Shu's face revealed a look of contemplation.

According to Ma Wanli's description, the sub-master of Tiangong Pavilion's skill in casting soldiers can only be regarded as average, perhaps even worse than Shi Songtao, the vice-master of Huaxia Pavilion.

It seems that this Tiangong Pavilion is not as powerful as I imagined. Their reputation is so big, or they just took advantage of it.

Taking advantage of the fact that the art of casting soldiers in this world is secret.

If this is the case, then I might not be able to enter the Tiangong Pavilion.

The level of the deputy cabinet master's skill in casting soldiers is only like this, so he can do it too.

I just don’t know, the owner of Tiangong Pavilion is also of average level, or the owner of Tiangong Pavilion supported all this alone, just like Zhou Shu supported Huaxia Pavilion back then.

"Ma Wanli, have you met the owner of Tiangong Pavilion?"

Zhou Shu pondered.

"No, Master Pavilion Master, Shenlong sees the head but does not see the tail, and idlers can't see it."

Ma Wanli said in a low voice.

"I have been with Master all the time, and I have never even seen the other deputy pavilion masters."

Ma Wanli once said that Tiangong Pavilion has not only one deputy pavilion master, but a total of eight!

This also shows the scale of Tiangong Pavilion.

But it is much bigger than his Huaxia Pavilion.

There are eight deputy pavilion masters, and there are countless soldiers casting divisions under them.

In other words, all the soldiers casting masters in this world are actually from Tiangong Pavilion, and there is no way for outsiders to learn the soldier casting technique.

Even if a wild soldier builder like Zhou Shu appeared, he would soon be incorporated into Tiangong Pavilion.

Therefore, this Tiangong Pavilion actually monopolizes the art of casting soldiers in its own hands. Anyone who wants a magic weapon must pass through them. This is one of the reasons why they are respected in this world.

Now Zhou Shu has actually touched their cake.

If it weren't for the fact that the city he is in is too remote, the Tiangong Pavilion would have looked down on him at all, or else, people from the Tiangong Pavilion would have come to his door long ago, and they would either recruit him or kill him directly...

However, Master Namo has already returned to the Tiangong Pavilion, and the Tiangong Pavilion may already know of his existence, and it will not be long before they will take action.

"The last time, this time I will definitely succeed."

Zhou Shu thought for a moment, and said to Ma Wanli, "Ma Wanli, when I finish casting the magic weapon, I have a request. I want to go with you to see your master."

Zhou Shu made up his mind and expressed his thoughts.

"Are you going to see my master?"

Ma Wanli was a little surprised, and said, "You want to join Tiangong Pavilion? You are a soldier casting master. If you want to join Tiangong Pavilion, my master will definitely not object."

There was a smile on Ma Wanli's face, he smiled very sincerely, and continued, "Vice City Master Wu, as a soldier-casting master, joining the Tiangong Pavilion is the right way. Go to the pinnacle of the art of casting soldiers!"

Stars were shining in Ma Wanli's eyes, and he didn't know who drew such a big cake for him.

This poor child actually believed it!

If Tiangong Pavilion was really so powerful, you should have been a soldier casting master long ago, instead of being ordered around by them like you are now, and you have not even been a soldier casting teacher for so long.

Zhou Shu complained in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He nodded slightly and said, "That's right, that's exactly what I mean. If Tiangong Pavilion is willing to accept me, then I also want to join Tiangong Pavilion."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Shu reopened the furnace to cast soldiers.

Having "failed" six times in a row, Zhou Shu is already familiar with the whole process.

He controlled his means, and soon, the prototype of a divine weapon appeared in the casting furnace.

Zhou Shu kept pouring various casting materials into the casting furnace, and the time passed like this. After five or six days, under Zhou Shu's deliberate suppression, he finally completed the casting.

A long knife flew out of the casting furnace, landed in front of Ma Wanli with a clang, and the blade directly plunged into the ground.

The clanging sound echoed in the air, and Ma Wanli suddenly became a little excited.

"That's right, that's it!"

Ma Wanli said excitedly, "I have seen the blueprint in Master's hand, and the magic weapon he wants to cast looks like this!"

"Appearance is not the most important thing, the characteristics of the magic weapon are the most important."

Zhou Shu said casually.

Ma Wanli nodded, asked Zhou Shu for instructions, and after getting an affirmative answer, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the knife.

"boom--"

After all, Ma Wanli was a strong man in the Cave Heaven Realm, and he swung the long knife in his hand.

Dao Guang vertically and horizontally, flying up and down.

This Ma Wanli's strength is very good. In terms of sword skills, he is only slightly inferior to Sun Fair.

Such a person, if placed in the ancestral land, is definitely a talent.

"Vice-City Master Wu, you are really amazing. Master will definitely be satisfied with this saber, this saber!"

Ma Wanli's face was full of excitement.

He seemed to have seen the scene of himself returning to Tiangong Pavilion.

Zhou Shu was a little speechless. Is it that important for such a talent to go to Tiangong Pavilion or not?

You joined Tiangong Pavilion, and I didn't see that you really learned anything.

If your master really regarded you as an apprentice, how could he destroy your cultivation and kick you out just because you overturned a casting furnace?

To put it bluntly, he didn't regard you as an apprentice at all, but regarded you as a slave.

Zhou Shu couldn't figure out why Ma Wanli insisted on going back.

His mind is not very bright, his elder brother Ma Qianli is just a normal person.

But having said that, Tiangong Pavilion has deep roots in this world, and the Ma brothers want to climb the tree, which is understandable in itself.

After all, with the identity of a disciple of the deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion, they will also get great benefits.

Zhou Shu can't control what others want to do, what he can control is what he does.

"Ma Wanli, when are you going back to Tiangong Pavilion? Also, how long will it take to get to Tiangong Pavilion from here?"

Zhou Shu asked casually.

If it was too far, he had to say hello to Ge Changlong if he wanted to go there.

After all, he and Ge Changlong are still in the honeymoon period in name, and leaving without authorization, I am afraid that it will provoke Ge Changlong's dissatisfaction, so it is a bit uneconomical.

"If it's going back to Tiangongge headquarters, we need to travel for more than a year."

Ma Wanli said casually, "But my master is not at the headquarters right now."

Ma Wanli's words surprised Zhou Shu a little.

Zhou Shu knows that this world is built on the spiritual root of heaven and earth, which is much bigger than their world, but a year's journey is too big, isn't it?

Speaking of which, before Ma Qianli went to find Ma Wanli and came back, it didn't seem to take long.

"My master respects him as an old man who travels around the world quickly, and has been staying in a city not far from here for these years."

Ma Wanli said, "The old man originally planned to come here to take a look at the Yuanshi mine. Now that our magic weapon has been cast, I sent a letter to my master. He doesn't need us to find him. He will came."

"Oh? He came for Yuanshi Mine?"

Zhou Shu's eyes flashed.

He has long regarded the Yuanshi Mine as his own. If the old boy came for the Yuanshi Mine, then Zhou Shu could only let him come and go.

"of course not."

Ma Wanli shook his head and said, "My master, he just wants to see Yuanshi, but he doesn't dare to get involved. In the entire Tiangong Pavilion, except for the owner who is qualified to use Yuanshi to cast soldiers, no one else has this qualification."

"You mean, the owner of Tiangong Pavilion can use Yuanshi to cast soldiers?"

Zhou Shu's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice.

Yuanshi, he has come into contact with it, and with his ability, there is nothing he can do about Yuanshi.

If the owner of the Tiangong Pavilion can use Yuan Shi to cast soldiers, it means that his skill in casting soldiers is still superior to Zhou Shu.

Is it true that one person propped up the Tiangong Pavilion?

Zhou Shu said to himself.

"I just heard it from my senior brothers chatting. As for the specific situation, I'm not very clear."

Ma Wanli didn't hide anything, and said honestly, "I heard that only those really big men are qualified to use the magic weapons made by Yuanshi. Their magic weapons are all personally in charge of the pavilion masters, and even the deputy pavilion masters are not qualified. participate."

Zhou Shu nodded, those real big men, or they are sacred.

Even Ge Changlong is not qualified to contact an existence like Ge Changlong, and Ma Wanli is naturally not qualified to contact him.

"Since this is the case, then you should send a letter to your master, and hand over the divine weapon to him as soon as possible, so that you can return to the Tiangong Pavilion as soon as possible."

Zhou Shu pondered and said.

It was just what he wanted to see the Deputy Pavilion Master of Tiangong Pavilion without leaving here.

At this moment, Zhou Shu is really unwilling to leave here.

Here, he intends to operate it as his base camp, if he leaves now, it will easily fall short.

Ma Wanli had just left when Xue Liang, the housekeeper, had already walked in.

"My lord, the City Lord's Mansion just sent someone over to inform you that the City Lord has returned."

Xue Liang bowed and whispered.

"The city lord is back?"

Zhou Shu's expression froze.

This time, Ge Changlong left for long enough.

Add up before and after, almost more than two months!

He left the city to investigate the traces of the spirit insects, so he might have found the traces of the spirit insects!

"I'm going to the City Lord's Mansion!"

Without hesitation, Zhou Shu stood up straight.

...

A moment later, Zhou Shu had arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, and he looked at the people in front of him in surprise.

Including Ge Changlong, all the senior officials in the city were in a state of distress.

Even Ge Changlong felt tired.

"City Master, you are—"

Zhou Shu said.

Ge Changlong is a strong Tianzun, what kind of battle has he experienced to be so tired?

That spirit worm, is it really that strong?

"We encountered more than a dozen spirit insects."

Ge Changlong's voice was a little tired, and he said, "It took some time to kill them."

"A dozen spirit insects?"

Zhou Shu was really a little surprised. A dozen spirit insects forced Ge Changlong and the others into this state?

And Zhou Shu keenly discovered that they seemed to be missing a few people, maybe they were killed.

"City Lord, are those spirit insects really that powerful?"

Zhou Shu asked with a solemn expression.

More than a dozen spirit insects have caused damage to the people led by the strong Tianzun, so once the insect plague breaks out...

Insect plague, there may be tens of millions of spirit insects.

For the first time, Zhou Shu felt that he might have thought of the pest disaster simply.

"Spirit insects are indeed very difficult to deal with, and supernatural powers are useless against them."

Ge Changlong said in a deep voice, "Only the attack of strength can cause harm to them. We suffer because we don't have magic weapons in our hands. Otherwise, killing the spirit insects may not be so difficult."

As the majestic city lord, Ge Changlong didn't even have a magic weapon in his hand.

It's not that he doesn't have divine weapons, but with his cultivation base, ordinary divine weapons are not worthy of his strength at all.

The magic weapon in his hand just killed a few spirit insects before it couldn't bear his strength and collapsed.

He has always wanted to have a magic weapon that can truly display his strength, but unfortunately, that kind of magic weapon is hard to come by, even with his status, it is difficult to obtain.

"City Master, have you brought back the corpse of the spirit worm?"

Zhou Shu asked in a deep voice, "Maybe I can develop a magic weapon for spirit insects. In that case, we will have a little more chance of winning against spirit insects."

"Is it okay?"

Ge Changlong said unexpectedly.

"It may not be successful, but you can give it a try. I have never seen spirit insects. I don't know what kind of magic weapon can cause the most damage to them. If I can meet them, I will have a direction."

Zhou Shu said solemnly.
