Chapter 1040: Entering the God's Tomb Again
The most important thing for the Li lineage is etiquette. As the father of Cui Li and Cui Lu, it is in accordance with etiquette for Cui Lao Hu to come to the Li lineage to meet his sons.
Therefore, no one stopped Cui Laohu when he entered the academy, and he went straight to the back mountain where the Saint of Rites was practicing in seclusion.
He knew that the Saint of Etiquette had now been promoted to the Saint of Literature, and that he controlled the world's literary fortunes and his cultivation was unfathomable. Even though he had attained the Golden Edict of the Supreme Forgetfulness and Enlightenment, he had no chance of defeating the Saint of Etiquette.
So he planned to come to the Li Yi lineage openly, and use the Li Yi lineage's doctrines and teachings to take the two little ones away openly.
"Greetings, sir." Yan Qu had been waiting at the gate for a long time. When he saw Cui Lao Hu, he bowed respectfully and said, "Sir, I have been waiting for you."
Although Yan Qu and Cui Lao Hu are of the same generation, Cui Lao Hu has already been promoted to Jin Chi, which makes him extraordinary and has the same status as his master.
"Thank you, Brother Yan Qu, for leading the way." Cui Lao Hu was very polite and did not look down on Yan Qu just because he was promoted to Jin Chi.
The two of them came all the way to the back mountain, and saw the Saint of Etiquette writing something. At this time, Cui Lao Hu came in front of the Saint of Etiquette and bowed respectfully: "Greetings to the Saint of Literature."
Saint Li stopped writing and looked at Cui Lao Hu: "I never thought that you, little tiger, could actually master the evil martial arts of Zhenwu Mountain."
"It's just a coincidence. I would rather not have mastered this technique and attained the Golden Edict than lose the person I love the most." Cui Laohu's voice was filled with sighs.
"I didn't expect that the Cui family would produce such a romantic person like you. You are just too affectionate and too heartless." said the Sage Wen.
Cui Lao Hu ignored the comments of the Saint of Etiquette and said with a smile: "I came here today to thank the Saint of Etiquette for teaching my sons over the years. If it weren't for the Saint of Etiquette, my sons and daughters wouldn't have become successful. But I think they have grown up and I am old, so I want to take them back to Zhenwu Mountain to teach them in person. Please allow me, Saint of Etiquette."
"Impossible! Don't even think about it!" Yan Qu's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and he shouted angrily, his voice full of coldness: "You abandoned your wife, and you no longer care about the lives of Cui Li and Cui Lu. Now you want to use them to threaten Cui Yu, I will never agree."
Hearing Yan Qu's rebuke, Cui Lao Hu remained calm: "The family of Li values rules the most. As a father, don't I even have the right to see my own children in person? Is this in accordance with the rules?"
The Saint of Etiquette remained calm, while Yan Qu beside him also had a sullen face. The lineage of etiquette attaches great importance to etiquette and rules. If they do something that is not in line with the rules and etiquette, their spiritual heart will probably be the first to collapse.
What's wrong with a father wanting to see his son?
The Saint of Etiquette, who attached great importance to rules, could not refuse, and Yan Qu could not even say the words to refuse.
"Even if you meet them, you may not be able to take them away. I can't stop you from meeting them, but if they don't want to go with you, you can't take them away either." The Saint of Etiquette said, then looked at Yan Qu: "Bring Cui Lu and Cui Li in."
Although Yan Qu was unwilling, he did not dare to disobey and could only suppress his anger and bring the person in.
"father!"
When Cui Lu and Cui Li saw Cui Lao Hu, a look of joy immediately appeared on their faces and they rushed over with joy.
Seeing this scene, Yan Qu's heart sank, and he secretly said, "It's over!"
As Yan Qu expected, Cui Laohu played the emotional card and persuaded Cui Li and Cui Lu, and then the three of them left the Li lineage.
"master!"
Yan Qu looked at the backs of Cui Laohu and the other two as they left, then turned to look at Saint Li, his voice full of reluctance.
"Cui Lao Hu is their father! If their father wants to take his children away, can we stop him? If this gets out, it will become a laughing stock for the world. The teachings of my lineage of rites will collapse, and will surely be discovered by all the major branches of Confucianism in the world." The Sage of Rites sighed quietly, his voice full of unwillingness.
After hearing what Saint Li said, Yan Qu could only shut up, but he quickly wrote a letter in his hand and then mailed it by sparrowhawk.
Zhenwu Mountain
Cui Yu left the main hall of the peak and returned to his own thatched cottage, where he saw the chief elder of Chunyang Peak holding a pug and standing in front of the cottage with a gloomy face, waiting.
"Oh, what kind of wind brings the great elder here?" Cui Yu asked in surprise.
"What exactly do you want me to do to change my grandson back to normal?" The great elder stared at Cui Yu.
Cui Yu looked around the Great Elder a few times, his eyes showing a hint of teasing: "Why don't you go to the headmaster to complain?"
The Great Elder remained silent upon hearing this, his chest gasping for breath, his hands and feet numb from anger, but he still said nothing.
Cui Yu was also quite bored when he saw this: "I want you to withdraw from the competition for the position of Peak Master."
“What? Don’t even think about it!” Upon hearing this, the Great Elder of Chunyang Peak was like a rabbit with its fur standing on end. He glared at Cui Yu with a pair of eyes, his voice filled with anger: “So this is what you were thinking? You want to use this to blackmail me?”
"Can't I threaten you? This is your only bloodline left in the world." Cui Yu stared at the elder: "You have survived the disaster, right? If he dies, you will have no descendants. Can't I threaten you with your only bloodline?"
The Great Elder's body trembled with anger when he heard this, his eyes were full of rage, but he could not speak.
"Of course you don't have to worry about it. I don't even care about the position of the master of Chunyang Peak. What I want is the position of the headmaster of Zhenwu Mountain. I want to replace Cui Cancan, or even force Cui Lao Hu to retreat. If I become the master of Chunyang Peak, I will have to retire within a year or two. How about I pass the position of the master of Chunyang Peak to you then?" Cui Yu said with a smile.
After a blow, you have to give someone a sweet reward.
"Really?" The Great Elder was indeed moved upon hearing this.
"Of course I'm serious, but before that, you have to solve one person for me, that's Fan Zeng from the Han Dynasty." Cui Yu said.
"What will happen if we kill Fan Zeng? The master has Liu Bang under his command. Liu Bang's strength is far beyond Fan Zeng's. Fan Zeng is nothing to worry about." said the great elder of Chunyang Peak.
Cui Yu smiled when he heard this and said, "Of course I have ways to deal with Liu Bang, but you just need to get rid of Fan Zeng in advance, and then I can smoothly take the position of the leader of Chunyang Peak."
"Fan Zeng is from the main peak. It is really difficult to deal with him." The eyes of the great elder of Chunyang Peak were full of fear and concern.
"If he didn't die, how would you rescue your grandson?" Cui Yu asked.
Hearing this, the Great Elder of Chunyang Peak had no choice but to nod in agreement, and then said to Cui Yu: "When will you release my grandson?"
"When I ascend to the position of the master of Chunyang Peak, I will naturally release your grandson. After all, he is just a child, a youngster who is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth." Cui Yu said with a smile upon hearing this.
To be honest, it would not be difficult for him to kill Fan Zeng, but he did not want to do it himself. If he could avoid doing it himself, he would not do it himself. This would only intensify the conflict between the Grand Elder of Chunyang Peak and the main peak lineage.
As for Liu Bang's problem? No matter what means Cui Laohu gave Liu Bang, he only needed to ask the gravekeeper to plot secretly at the critical moment and suppress Liu Bang, and then all the problems would be solved.
Excluding the Great Elder, minus Fan Zeng and one less Liu Bang, the position of the Master of Chunyang Peak fell directly into his hands. Why should he fight for it?
When Cui Yu had just dealt with the Grand Elder of Chunyang Peak, suddenly a golden light flashed in the sky, and Sparrowhawk landed on his shoulder. Then Cui Yu took the note from Sparrowhawk, and his face suddenly became gloomy: "Cui Lao Hu actually ran to the Liyi Clan to pick someone up in person?"
This was indeed beyond his expectations and caught him off guard.
Cui Yu's eyes showed a trace of contemplation: "What does Cui Lao Hu mean by this? Why are you going to pick up the two little ones in person?"
According to Cui Lao Hu's past style, he wished he would have nothing to do with the two little ones forever, and the farther away from them the better. So why is he now taking the initiative to go to the Li Yi lineage to pick them up?
"Do you want to use these two little ones to threaten me?" Cui Yu turned the paper scroll into ashes and stood in front of the thatched cottage for a long time without saying a word. Then he used the power of fate to create a paper scroll with words on it. Cui Yu took it in his hand and stuffed it between the wings of the sparrowhawk. The sparrowhawk flapped its wings and cried, and the next moment it flew into the sky and disappeared without a trace.
This matter cannot be blamed on the etiquette lineage. Cui Laohu's behavior is in line with etiquette, and even the etiquette saint cannot stop it.
Although the Saint of Etiquette usually claims that "my rules are rules", he cannot stop this kind of thing as long as he does not want his own Tao heart to be flawed.
Time flies, and three days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Cui Yu was practicing in the mountains, comprehending the details of the Dafa that he had attained in his dream. Suddenly, he felt two familiar life magnetic fields appear at the foot of the mountain. It turned out that Cui Lu and Cui Li had arrived at the foot of Zhenwu Mountain.
"I want to see what tricks Cui Lao Hu is playing." Cui Yu was no longer calm. For him, the best option was to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.
What Cui Yu has to do now is to take the challenge.
“Will Cui Lao Hu threaten me with the lives of the two little ones?” Cui Yu suddenly felt worried.
Although even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, Cui Lao Hu could kill even his own wife, so it is not impossible that he would kill the two little ones for Cui Cancan.
There is also one most crucial question, whether the two little ones are Cui Lao Hu’s children.
Although the Saint Lady of Seven Emotions swore that he was Cui Lao Hu's offspring, she was afraid that Cui Lao Hu did not think so.
Cui Yu felt the life fields of the two little ones entering the main peak, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried. He couldn't quite grasp Cui Lao Hu's mentality.
Cui Lao Hu’s methods are too cruel.
Cui Yu couldn’t understand Cui Lao Hu’s methods, but he didn’t think about it any further. Instead, he thought about the future.
"The Central Heavenly Emperor cannot be left alive. Only by beheading him and letting the Zhenwu Mountain God take his place, can I gather the faith of hundreds of millions of people."
Time flies, and seven days have passed in the blink of an eye. The entire Zhenwu Mountain is peaceful and tranquil. One day, the mountain god of Zhenwu Mountain came to Cui Yu and said, "It's time to take action!"
Upon hearing this, Cui Yu looked into the distance with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. Now that the two little ones have joined Zhenwu Mountain, Cui Yu has become a little indecisive.
"What are you thinking about? Now is a good time to kill the Central Heavenly Emperor. If we delay any longer, something unexpected will happen." The mountain god of Zhenwu Mountain looked at Cui Yu and began to complain to Cui Yu: "You don't know, since the Central Heavenly Emperor came to Zhenwu Mountain, I have been suppressed everywhere. I am suppressed by the Central Heavenly Emperor and I can't do many things at all."
The mountain god of Zhenwu Mountain was very depressed. After all, the Central Heavenly Emperor was his old superior and nominally the leader of all the evil gods in the central land, and he was just a subject.
As a subject, facing the old leader, you will always be suppressed before the two sides completely fall out.
It's not that the Mountain God of Zhenwu Mountain doesn't want to break up with him, but it's not good for him to break up with him. Instead, it's better to continue to stand in the other side's camp and pretend to be friendly. When the Central Heavenly Emperor dies in the future, as the number one master under the Central Heavenly Emperor, wouldn't it be a natural thing for him to take over the Central Heavenly Emperor's industry?
Although breaking off relations would help him get rid of the shackles, it would be detrimental to his taking over the Central Heavenly Emperor's industry in the future.
Cui Yu knew the distress of the Zhenwu Mountain God, so he asked, "If that's the case, then go ahead. But have you found out the details of the Central Heavenly Emperor?"
"Don't worry, I have secretly won over some of the masters under the Central Heavenly Emperor." The mountain god of Zhenwu Mountain laughed: "As long as the Central Heavenly Emperor dies suddenly, I can take advantage of the situation and take over all the power of the Central Heavenly Emperor. The only thing that worries me is whether the other four emperors will take the opportunity to encroach on the power of the Central Heavenly Emperor."
"It's simple. As long as we suppress the death of the Central Heavenly Emperor, no one in the outside world will know about his death. Then you can act in the name of the Central Heavenly Emperor and use the Central Heavenly Emperor's name to control the entire Zhenwu Mountain. Then, you can use the Central Heavenly Emperor's name to secretly hunt down the other four Heavenly Emperors, and even control the entire Weird God Realm in your hands, becoming the sole ruler of the Weird God Realm. Then, when you open up the Heavenly Court and run the dynasty, wouldn't it be great?"
Hearing Cui Yu's words, the eyes of the Zhenwu Mountain God lit up, and his eyes were full of excitement: "If this is really possible, won't the entire Weird God Realm be under our control in the future? Even controlling the entire world is just a matter of course."
"So you have to help me with this matter, and you must not be careless at all." Cui Yu said seriously.
After hearing Cui Yu's words, the mountain god of Zhenwu Mountain asked, "When do we start?"
Cui Yu smiled and said, "Get it done before I run for the position of Master of Chunyang Peak."
"I will go down and prepare now. However, the Central Heavenly Emperor has great powers and astonishing means. He has already entered the ranks of the Green Commanders. If you enter the underground tomb and are blessed by the mysterious power of heaven, I am afraid you will not be his opponent. The Central Heavenly Emperor's powers are definitely not something that I and the other seven can match." The mountain god of Zhenwu Mountain muttered in a low voice.
