Volume 5: The First Song Five Hundred and Eighty-Two: The Wave (Ninety-Nine)
Woodham, a child of the Wu family in Xiangzhou, this Wu family can be regarded as a big family in Xiangzhou, it is said that even in the past, the Wu family was very famous even in the cultivation world, the strength was prominent, and it was very prosperous. But with the passage of time, the talents of the Wu family gradually withered and there were no more amazing and brilliant characters among the children and grandchildren of the younger generations, which at least had a great impact on the inheritance of the magic technique, in short, the Wu family was prosperous and declining, and it began to decline little by little. At this time, the Wu family has weakened, and it has long been gone, there is a saying that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is very appropriate to use this sentence to describe the current situation of the Wu family, the accumulation of long years, the Wu family does not know how many coveted treasures are stored but can no longer be kept, and this is also the reason why the Wu family is coveted, and the rest of the old grudges in the past are just excuses that can be used.
A great family in decay is like a long-established but old and sick beast, even though it has long been powerless, but the surface minions are still the same, and it still maintains a fierce and powerful appearance, which is temporarily enough to suppress those suspicious characters, but in fact, the Wu family has been strong and powerful.
In the cultivation world, many great families will go through this stage before they are completely defeated, and the Wu family is exactly like this, at this time, the group of fangs is around, and they naturally want to have a full meal, well, that is, to divide up the Wu family, but no one dares to do it before they can't figure out the details of the Wu family, even if the great family has declined, it will have its heritage for many years, and the power of the dying counterattack is enough to make people fearful, especially the Wu family is different from the general big family, and it is based on the formation, Who knows how many powerful formations the Wu family has arranged in their own homes for so many years, but I am afraid that the Wu family's peaceful manor is actually as dangerous as a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and it will definitely suffer heavy losses if it acts rashly, so none of the families in Xiangzhou who are interested in carving up the Wu family are willing to be this bird, so they can only continue to wait and see, which is also the reason why the Wu family is still safe so far.
As a child of the Wu family, Woodham naturally knows the truth about his family, this Woodham is a young man with a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, high nose bridge, thick lips, and a dignified and honest and even a little wooden and dull face, this honor is really a little incompatible with the arrogant and luxurious son of the big family, but he is a person with a great talent for learning formation in the later generations of the Wu family, so he is also somewhat famous among the qi refining monks in Xiangzhou, and it is precisely because of this that he is valued by Zong Fang, and a letter invites him to help.
To be honest, at the beginning, with Zhang Yi's eyesight, I always felt that I couldn't see through this Woodham, or that I didn't take him to heart. Although the Wu family began to decline, there were no Xiangzhou monks except for Woodham who invited these people, so basically no one knew the true situation of the Wu family except for Zong Fang Zhangyi, and because of the reputation of the Wu family in the cultivation world in the past, so others only regarded Woodham as the son of a great family, but he was just introverted, and everyone felt that this person was even more mysterious after knowing that Woodham was good at formations.
But Woodham's performance was disappointing.
In the Broken Intestine Valley, so far Zhang Yi and his party have not touched Qian Chao's people, but they have seen many times the scenes of Qian Chao's people dealing with the middle-level demon birds and monsters they encountered. Qi refining cultivators naturally can't fight hard with middle-level demon birds and demon beasts, those five people do this completely by relying on Qian Chao's formation technique, they found that Qian Chao seemed relaxed and casual when arranging the formation, and the formation was completed in an instant, and it had an immediate effect on dealing with those powerful demon beasts, no matter how fierce and hideous, but whenever they stepped into it, they all immediately softened, and even the middle-level demon birds flying in the air, Qian Chao also had a way to subdue them with the formation. After seeing Qian Chao's methods, regardless of the purpose of their trip, at least these people have opened their eyes and are convinced by Qian Chao's formation technique.
And Woodham's formation was only revealed when dealing with Shangguan Hong, to be honest, compared to the tide of money, his formation skills were very ordinary in the eyes of everyone.
The first time was when they joined forces to deal with Shangguan Hong last time, although Woodham arranged a lot of formations, and everyone had high hopes, but it was disappointing that Shangguan Hong could actually endure his formation for a period of time and then calmly escape, compared to Qian Chao's formation, Woodham was obviously a lot weaker, and that time made everyone despise Woodham a little. And the second time is tonight, well, speaking of He Suyou is the most qualified to comment, after all, he was unlucky tonight because of Woodham's formation, Woodham's performance can't be said to be too bad, after all, he saved He Suyou's life with the formation, but overall, it seems that this formation seems to be specially arranged for He Suyou.
This time it can be said that dealing with Shangguan Hong is chaotic, but tonight, Zhang Yi saw something unusual from Woodham's body.
At that time, He Suyou was trapped in the formation, and naturally Woodham wanted to untie the formation so as not to let He Suyou really die underground, and he was also obstructed by Shangguan Hong, and the two chased one after another and fled all over the field, which was dazzling to see, during which Woodham was chased in embarrassment, and dangers were frequent, and he was almost caught by Shangguan Hong several times. Speaking of which the process was not long, Wang Cunxi soon stopped Shangguan Hong, but Zhang Yi knew that Shangguan Hong's body technique, whether it was Shao Zhi's spirit sword or Qi Sijing's talisman, could be avoided, but she never caught Woodham, you must know that Shangguan Hong's body technique increased greatly when fighting with everyone, mainly relying on the blessing of a pair of colorful butterfly wings behind him, so his speed and agility were far above everyone, and Woodham only relied on his own body.
It was these that made Zhang Yi's heart suddenly move.
As a Chongling Blood Cultivator, Zhang Yi has also been concealing his means and strength in the Five Spirits Sect, but even so, if Shangguan Hong was chasing after him with red eyes, Zhang Yi did not dare to guarantee that he would not be caught up and injured by Shangguan Hong, so when he saw Woodham's body, Zhang Yi immediately judged that this person had been confusing everyone and concealing himself.
Because of his personality, Woodham's presence in the crowd is not strong, and because of the last experience of dealing with Shangguan Hong, people despise him a little, which makes it even more obvious that this person is a mediocre person who does nothing, and some people even have some disdain for him. But the body style he showed when he was chasing Shangguan Hong was among these people, I am afraid that even the sword cultivator Shao Zhi would sigh to himself, although he tried his best to show a panicked and frightened appearance and fled in embarrassment, but his body method could not deceive people, especially Zhang Yi. In Zhang Yi's opinion, just by Woodham's style, he can judge that this person must be a master of means, but he deliberately behaves mediocre and even a little incompetent, what is the purpose of doing this?
This kind of behavior is the same as Zhang Yi's performance in the Five Spirits Sect, he doesn't want to become a high-profile figure, and he doesn't want to be noticed.
Then Zhang Yi thought of the situation of the Wu family in Xiangzhou, where Woodham was born, a big family that is in decline and decline, once it is really peeked at the reality of the family, then those big families in Xiangzhou who have long been eyeing each other will not wait until the Wu family dies by itself, maybe the Wu family will suddenly become lively on a dark and windy night in a certain month, with figures and buildings, sword shadows coming and going, fires rushing to the sky, screaming everywhere, and there will be no Wu family in Xiangzhou after everything subsides. In such a situation, it is best for the Wu family to have a strong enough force to help, only in this way can the Wu family stabilize the situation and survive, so after receiving Zong Yan's letter, Woodham was quickly invited.
However, people who want to come to the Wu family should also understand that Woodham is just helping a junior of the Zong family mess around this time, even if he does it, how much favor can he let the Zong family lead the Wu family with these?
Obviously, it is far from enough for the current situation of the Wu family.
But what if the children of the Wu family can form a Taoist couple with the daughter of the Zong family?
Zong Cheng's difficulty in marrying is known in the cultivation world, at least those people from the big family know, first of all, this girl's extreme beauty, and then the future husband and wife chosen by this girl's parents and elders for her are all dead, the reason is probably that it is not in the eyes of this woman, and the general big family no longer fights this idea, after all, many people have died in front of them, and they are not willing to let their juniors take this risk.
But the Wu family is different, their own family is close to a precarious situation, any chance may be a drowning person when he is dying, luckily caught driftwood, of course, the marriage is only proposed by Zong Cheng It seems a little inappropriate or even child's play, but if Zong Cheng made any promises or even made any vows in the letter, it would be different. Among the Zong clan, Zong Cheng's marriage has been tossed several times, and it has been boiling in the cultivation world, and now the key is her own attitude, which is already clear to many great families, so if Zong Cheng opens his mouth and makes a promise or even an oath at the same time, it is at least a lot of hope.
Regardless of sincerity or not, if Zong Cheng promised that she would marry Woodham after the matter was completed, in that case, even if the Wu family at the end of the road hugged the thigh of the Wuling Sect tightly, with this, even if the big families who were eyeing the big families in Xiangzhou were puzzled, even if they were very reluctant, they would not dare to fight the idea of the Wu family again, so that it would be considered to renew the life of the Wu family.
However, Zhang Yi looked at Woodham's face again, this person is as stupid as a farmer's farmhouse, can Zong Cheng take a fancy to such a person?
If Zong Cheng really wants to choose among these people, Zhang Li, who died in the hands of Shangguan Hong, is obviously the best choice, Zhang Li was born in a big family, and he himself is even more handsome and chic, and his means are also very extraordinary.
But Woodham also has advantages that Zhang Li can't match, at least compared to Zhang Li, in the face of the bait spilled by Zong Cheng, it is obvious that Woodham is more tempted, and he is more willing to do things for Zong Cheng.
Is it possible that Zong Cheng also arranged for people to get rid of Woodham afterwards?
Will it?
It's possible!
At the same time, Zhang Yi also thought that Woodham would definitely not be so wooden as he looked, this person grew up in the Wu family who walked on thin ice, he knew how to hide clumsy, he must be a very careful or even deep person, and even maybe Zong Cheng dealt with his backhand, he also expected that his performance must have been deliberately done to mislead everyone, and only such an inconspicuous and unappreciated character had the opportunity to suddenly knife from behind, which was both fatal and unguardable.
In contrast, although Qi Sijing also made Zhang Yi suspicious, he was more like he was trying to be shorter and longer with Shangguan Hong, and it seemed that he was using the same talisman to disgust Shangguan Hong.
Of course, Zhang Yi would not relax his vigilance against Qi Sijing, these two people were the ones he would pay special attention to next, and he couldn't let Jinglu die at the hands of any of them.
But in the end, how can we make a flaw in the sale and let the money tide discover the danger of Jinglu?
Soon, Zhang Yi thought that if he could really match Qian Chao and those people, presumably Jinglu would definitely pester Qian Chao to the death, and it was likely that he would not have to do anything at all, and Qian Chao would be able to detect Woodham's intentions.
Thinking about this, Zhang Yi set his eyes in front of him, Zong Fang persuaded just now, but obviously Shangguan Hong did not give up, she still did not leave after being hit by the same talisman, and she still did not leave, and she had to continue to entangle, so let's do it and see how this Woodham behaves.
