Chapter 402: The luck is not mine
In a hidden cave, Ouyang Zhiguo was exercising his entire body's purification power to the maximum, flying around the cave walls, practicing various moves alone.
He had been in seclusion in this cave for more than ten days. At this time, he did not tie his braids that symbolize loyalty. His messy hair was dancing wildly with his movements, and his clothes were also worn out into several pits of varying sizes.
Today, he has been practicing in this cave for half an hour. Although he has not summoned a spirit, he has made every move without any perfunctory gesture, as if he is determined to achieve some effect.
The cave is spacious and bright enough. In the middle, the 9981 burning candles are arranged in square shapes, reflecting Ouyang Zhiguo's figure in all directions on the wall, making it look psychedelic and weird.
After a set of moves was finished, Ouyang Zhiguo jumped back to the front row of the candle and shouted: "Glory of the Overlord!"
In an instant, a tiger-shaped spirit body roared out, covering Ouyang Zhiguo's whole body. Although it only appeared and did not make any moves at the same time, the "King of Ten Thousand Beasts" Majestic Didi instantly triggered a whirlwind in the cave, blowing out all ninety-nine eighty-one candles.
The light disappeared, and Ouyang Zhiguo disappeared in the darkness for a moment. After a while, another ball of fire came out of thin air on Ouyang Zhiguo's spiritual body's right claw, illuminating the evil face of the leader of the Coat Guard even more gloomy. Under the control of the master, the tiger-shaped spiritual body called "Overlord Glory" waved its right claw, and the fireball instantly turned into a fiery fire, and rushed forward, reigniting all the ninety-nine eighty-one candles.
The light suddenly became brighter in the cave. Ouyang Zhiguo did not continue his movements, but let out a deep breath, put away the spirit body and the purifying power, and then sat on the ground, sweating like rain.
After a moment of silence, he clenched his fist with his right hand, pounded the ground three times in a row, and let out a sigh of unwillingness.
The uneven ground cut a tiny hole in his fist, and the pain distracted Ouyang Zhiguo's attention. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and after adjusting his emotions, he shouted outside the cave: "Come in!"
An old woman's figure responded to the sound, turned right after entering the cave, passed through a passage, and came to the spacious cave where Ouyang Zhiguo was. When he saw Ouyang Zhiguo with disheveled face, he smiled and said, "I know you are practicing in seclusion, so I have never dared to send a message to you. I took the initiative to disturb you. Please forgive me, hehe."
The visitor was Wang Muyun, deputy captain of the Baoyiwei. Although she said "forgiveness", her tone and expression did not show any guilt. Instead, she was like a mother who saw a child, and she brought a tone that was respected as a respectful person.
"It's indeed a bit presumptuous." Ouyang Zhiguo said angrily, "Since I know that I'm in seclusion and practice, I'm not happy to come to the scene to disturb me. Moreover, haven't I said that whenever I'm in seclusion and practice, the affairs of the Baoyiwei will be controlled by you, the deputy captain, and you don't have to report everything to me?"
Wang Muyun shook her eyebrows and smiled unabated. She just narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Ouyang Zhiguo with a penetrating look, and replied coldly: "Of course I remember, but I failed to complete your mission. Shouldn't I come back and receive the punishment?"
Ouyang Zhiguo was stunned and said, "What mission?"
"What else can it be? Shadali." Wang Muyun said, kneeling in front of Ouyang Zhiguo without hesitation. "As you expected, the woman did not truly surrender to you. After arriving in Tai'an Mansion, she remained loyal to the Qing Dynasty. So I planned to clear the door for you. Unfortunately, the woman was really agile. After seriously injured her, I finally let her escape... At present, her whereabouts were unknown."
Ouyang Zhiguo's expression was surprised for a moment, then said coldly, "I thought it was such a big deal. So that's it? Haha, this matter is big or small. Shadali is already agile and it is very difficult to kill her. However, even if she is still alive, with her status, she is not qualified to meet the emperor and cannot cause any trouble. As for us, we can take the initiative and sue her for rebellion in front of the emperor and justify her. Okay, okay, don't kneel down, you get up and go out."
"Thank you." Wang Muyun stood up and did not rush to leave. She squinted her eyes meaningfully and looked at Ouyang Zhiguo with a smile, "Why, the captain seems to be in a bad mood today?"
Ouyang Zhiguo snorted coldly: "What? Haven't I been like this all the time?"
Wang Muyun said in a deep voice: "Although you are not very enthusiastic in normal times, I think I will raise you with great difficulty. I recommended you in front of the emperor like this. After you joined the Baoyiwei, I will help you become the captain wholeheartedly. As a wet nurse, I can still see your little thoughts."
Ouyang Zhiguo's expression immediately became vigilant. He glanced at the direction of the hole, then stared at Wang Muyun coldly and whispered: "What, you haven't told anyone about it?"
"That's not." Wang Muyun said leisurely, "Once a private relationship is added to the Baoyiwei, you will lose everything immediately. I still have this measure. In front of them, you will always be the founder of the Baoyiwei, I will always be the deputy. You are the only one who has seen the emperor. As for me, an old woman, I am already old and weak, and have no intention of competing for any position with you, so you can rest assured a hundred times."
"Hmph, then why did you suddenly mention this matter?"
"It's nothing, but watching the child grow up healthily, I have already reached forty years, and my wet nurse feel a little touched. Today, I want to remind you in this identity at the end: It's not wrong to pursue the ultimate power, but..." Wang Muyun deliberately paused for a while, then strengthened her tone and said, "It's so cold that it's high."
Ouyang Zhiguo was stunned for a moment, then he took his cold eyes back from Wang Muyun, and laughed: "Haha, thank you, deputy captain for reminding me, with this sentence, I feel much more comfortable. Yes, I was really not feeling very comfortable just now. You think, why can't I break through that wall?"
Wang Muyun said: "Your strength is the best today's purifier. Even if you face a demon king, you will no longer be at a disadvantage. I have always been proud of you. As for whether you can enter the realm of formlessness in the end, it depends on the fortune of heaven. If there is no fortune, what's the use of being in seclusion and practicing for ten or twenty years?"
Ouyang Zhiguo turned his back to Wang Muyun, looked up and sighed, "It would be fine if it weren't for that Pu Zixuan, but a purifying messenger who had entered the formless realm appeared in front of us, which is enough to show that my title of "the strongest in the world" is just a false reputation. I just don't accept it. He is only in his twenties. Why can he? I can't?"
Wang Muyun chuckled and said, "Why, is it important to be the best in the world?"
Ouyang Zhiguo looked down at the wound on his right hand and said unwillingly: "At least, I will feel that I have no luck in heaven. If I don't have luck in heaven, what will I use to seize the world?"
"It seems that our captain's self-esteem is very hit." Wang Muyun stepped forward and stood side by side with Ouyang Zhiguo, and said leisurely, "But you don't have to think too much. Pu Songling happened to have entered the realm of formlessness because of a piece of Tai Sui, and he is a descendant of Pu Songling, so he naturally has some innate advantages. That's all, nothing else has changed, right?"
Ouyang Zhiguo paused, stopped responding, and turned to the topic and said, "If I want you to find out the whereabouts of that piece of Tai Sui, can you do it?"
"Hahahaha..." Wang Muyun did not answer directly, but laughed out loud.
Ouyang Zhiguo said angrily: "Why are you laughing at?"
Seeing that the time was ripe, Wang Muyun opened her conversation and said, "Do you know why I was disturbing your cultivation today? Shadali's matter is small, and the other thing is the real focus of what I want to say."
Ouyang Zhiguo said impatiently: "Okay, when did you become so sloppy when your old lady speak? If there is anything, just say it directly?"
This time, Wang Muyun stopped going around the circle and said in a stern manner: "On the day you were in seclusion and practicing, I asked Pang Jitong to go to Jiaozhou Prefecture to inquire about the movements of the group of people in Xintiandihui. As a result, he found an interesting situation in Laoshan: the group of people fought with a group of monsters of unknown origin and could not enter the mountain for a long time, and the group of monsters had no evil spirit on them."
Ouyang Zhiguo's heart trembled, as if he realized something, "You want to say..."
