Chapter 321: The so-called Huo Zhu
Huo family.
Main hall main room.
The head of the Huo family, that is, Huo Zhu and Huo Ao's father, is negotiating important business matters outside Chu, so now the biggest Huo family is Huo Zhu, and he has the most right to speak.
As the eldest son in the family, Huo Zhu is also the first heir to the position of the head of the family. If there are no accidents, the position of the future head of the family will definitely fall into Huo Zhu's hands.
Of course, even if Huo Zhu's father and Huo Zhu are in the Huo family at the same time, generally speaking, it will be Huo Zhu who talks about things.
Old Man Huo never concealed his admiration and praise for his eldest son, and he was always proud of Huo Zhu.
In a sense, the Huo family is already Huo Zhu's Huo family, and Huo Ao and the others want to compete for the position of the head of the family, unless Huo Zhu is dead, or if the old man Huo is crazy, it is absolutely impossible.
Tonight, Huo Zhu was busy until late as usual, in addition to practicing, he also had to take care of the affairs of the Six Sects Conference. He is the organizer of the Six Sects Conference, and the venue is still the Huo family's conference room, so he needs to consider all aspects.
This is also a major move for him to expand interpersonal relationships, and it is precisely because of his help to the outside world that Huo Zhu has achieved a good reputation in the outside world. At the same time, it has also succeeded in making many people owe him favors.
Favors have to be repaid, and favors are also the most difficult to repay.
It is precisely because he understands this truth that Huo Zhu will keep doing some small things, accumulating a lot, and unconsciously he has already established relationships with many people, and even many bigwig-level figures above the Yuan Infant stage have benefited from his kindness.
These favors are very useful at every critical moment.
Born in an ordinary family of a mortal empire in the Chu State, being able to go to the White Bone Tomb of the Upper Sect of the Continent to cultivate, and also become the sect elder of the White Bone Tomb, is a rare thing for people from the same level.
In the general context, the Huo family of the Chu State does not matter to the White Bone Tomb of Shangzong, and the White Bone Tomb will not care about the face of your Huo family at all, and will not even give you the face of the Chu State. Huo Zhu was able to come to this point in a short period of time, and he was more self-made.
Use all available means to protect your own longevity.
Of course, it is definitely impossible to get to this point by conventional means, if it were so simple, Huo Zhu's encounter would not be considered rare.
If it is really that simple, then if the Huo family can produce an elder of the White Bone Mound, why can't other families produce an elder of the Defeated Buddha and an elder of the Baiyun Sect?
In addition to the need for careful wisdom layout and strong own strength, more importantly, it is also necessary to have terrifying psychological ability.
Not everyone can afford to walk through thousands of corpses in order to sit on the throne.
Ruthlessness is especially important in this process.
Sometimes, human nature really pales in comparison to the goals that must be achieved. As long as you underestimate the dark side of human nature a little, you may fall into the Yellow Spring.
Therefore, Huo Zhu chose to embark on a different path to achieve what he is now.
There will be no great mercy to oneself or to others.
This is also why, he will arrange an altar of good fortune under the family, and exchange the future of the entire family for his own glory.
The luck contained in this is so great.
Because of the existence of this altar, Huo Zhu's luck is more than that of ordinary monks, and he has benefited a lot from it, and he has gained countless times more opportunities than ordinary people on the path of cultivation.
From a small period of qi training, Huo Zhu has grown rapidly to the current late stage of Jindan, and has stolen the luck and numerology of countless people.
But if you want to break through Jindan and step into Yuanying, this is not enough.
In recent years, Huo Zhu has gradually felt that he has some weakness in his succession, and just one Huo family can no longer support him to complete the Yuan Infant Period.
In extraordinary times, it is necessary to adopt extraordinary methods.
Therefore, there are six conferences held in the Huo family this time.
No one could have imagined that Huo Zhu took the initiative to invite Ying, and the six sect conferences prepared for the six major sects of Daliang still had such a hidden purpose!
Today's first meeting is just to test the details of everyone, and tomorrow, it will be an official move, and the Dao seed of the Blessing Altar will be quietly transplanted to everyone here, of course, selectively, and some powerful people are still not sure that they can escape their sight.
For this time, Huo Zhu didn't know how long he had been secretly planning, and as early as a few years ago, he began to work on the modification and evolution of the Fortune Altar, secretly transporting back many raw materials, originally thinking to see if there was any chance to return to the White Bone Mound Sect and plant Dao seeds on others.
But suddenly there was such a news from the Six Sects of the Great Liang, Huo Zhu was overjoyed in his heart, it took no effort to come, and after hearing that the champion of the Great Liang Dynasty Examination would come, he couldn't stop looking up to the sky and roaring, this is a great opportunity!
How much luck do you have to get the championship of the Great Dynasty Trial!
While this champion is still young and his cultivation is still shallow, it is the best choice to plant the Dao seed unknowingly and absorb the luck for his own use.
Even if he finds out in the future, it's okay, at that time, Huo Zhu himself must have broken through to the Yuan Infant Stage, and may even be able to reach the Creation Realm, is it possible that he is still afraid of a former champion of the Great Dynasty Examination?
Without luck, what is the so-called champion, in fact, is nothing.
The more Huo Zhu thought about it, the more excited he became, tonight's preparations for tomorrow's Six Sects Conference, part of it was the meeting, and the other part was to re-enact the process from beginning to end, although he didn't know how many times he had completely calculated this process in his heart, but he would still re-plan it every day.
Skilled in his heart, Huo Zhu did not allow any mistakes in this plan.
This is about one's future cultivation, about one's future, and even about what height one can reach in the future!
In this way, Huo Zhu was ready to go to the middle of the night, just took off his clothes, lay on his side on the bed, and was about to fall asleep with the futon.
Suddenly, ripples rippled in the heart lake.
Huo Zhu sat up in shock and slowly came back to his senses.
"Was it just a delusion? What happened?"
Huo Zhu carefully recalled the strange feeling just now, and originally wanted to ignore it, maybe he was too tired recently and hallucinated, but the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.
At this last moment, if something goes wrong, years of hard work will be ruined!
Just when Huo Zhu was hesitating whether to quietly go down and look at the Fortune Altar, there was an accident again!
A burst of intense angina came, like hundreds of steel forks, aimed at the flesh of the heart, poked viciously, and the flesh and blood blurred in an instant.
Huo Zhu's eyes were red and full of hair.
That's not the flesh of the heart, that's the heart of the altar of good luck!
Huo Zhu didn't care about the movement, he rolled out of bed, he didn't even have time to put on his clothes, he didn't wear shoes, and he ran down barefoot.
His sudden gaffe frightened the servants up and down the mansion, and the housekeeper was also frightened, and hurriedly followed behind Huo Zhu, but how could he be able to keep up with this speed?
"Young Master!
What happened?"
The butler was behind him screaming at his throat, panting.
"I'm going to look under the altar, don't worry!"
Although Huo Zhu didn't say it tightly, his rapid speech speed and anxious expression had already been exposed.
There must be no room for error!!
The housekeeper didn't know what was going on, he was dumbfounded, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, could it be related to the young man from the Fulu Sect today?
He didn't talk to Huo Zhu about the altar tonight, he just said that a disciple of the Fulu Sect had taken a look at the injuries of the second young master who was enshrined at home, and nothing else was involved.
The clothes were instantly soaked with cold sweat.
If it's really related to that person, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat and walk around!
The butler suddenly thought of a picture from many years ago.
Once upon a time.
At that time, Huo Zhu was just a young man who was less than ten years old, and he was extremely polite to people, and no one in the house praised him.
Then one night, in the middle of the night.
The housekeeper suddenly remembered that there was a door that he didn't know if it was locked, got up from the bed, and quietly walked out, as if he heard something when he passed the compound.
Like the sound of a blunt knife grinding meat, squeaky and especially dull.
The butler slowed down and walked slowly on tiptoe along the place where the sound came from.
At first, he thought it was rats in the house, but when he thought about it, the sound was not like this, and the sound of rats eating leftovers was not like this.
Getting closer, getting closer.
The sound coming into the ears is getting clearer and clearer.
At that time, the butler had an idea, and suddenly his back was cold, and he shivered like a living dead.
"It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, what are you thinking!"
The butler comforted himself, walked to a small jungle, and stopped.
It is a small jungle transplanted by hand in the compound, but it is not actually a jungle, it is an artificial landscape, which is very small.
Further into the jungle, the source of the sound.
It's subtle, but it's clear.
The butler held his breath, poked his head out, and looked over.
The pupils constricted instantly.
The back of the machete is Young Master Huo Zhu's.
But whose palm is the white bone with blood and broken aside?
The housekeeper didn't dare to look at it more, as if he had been hit by a magic barrier, and returned the same way.
......
At noon the next day, someone told the housekeeper.
A maid in the house is missing.
The housekeeper's heart was half cold, the maid was the maid in Huo Zhu's young master's room, and she was responsible for Huo Zhu's diet and daily life.
At that time, Huo Zhu had been crying there, no one could coax him, and he kept crying loudly.
The people were distressed to death, and they all said that Young Master Huo Zhu was really a loving and righteous young master, and if you want to blame it, blame the maid who is not long-hearted, how can you say that if you don't see it, you won't see it, and the little young master will cry.
Seeing Huo Zhu crying sincerely, the housekeeper almost believed it.
Until he walked back to the place he had been last night.
I saw that the land was full of freshly turned soil, a little wet, and the soil was still red soil, but I didn't know whether it was red mud or blood.
Then the butler turned around in a complicated mood and prepared to walk back.
He froze.
Young Master Huo Zhu stood behind him for some time, looking at him quietly.
There was an indescribable smile on his lips.
