Chapter 242 The Weight of the Nine Cauldrons
The news that Jiang Hua organized a group to wipe out the Jinheshan clan spread over the past few days and finally reached Gongliang City.

After this incident, the name of Blood Tiger Jiang Hua spread throughout Gongliang City, and even the provincial capital knew about it at one point.

At any time, it would be a big news if a Qi-blooded warrior killed a martial artist of a higher level.

The three people who participated in this battle, Jiang Hua, Zhou You and Lu Zhigang, became prominent figures for a while.

Jiang Hua avenged his father, and although he named the school Jianxiong Martial Arts School, his main skill was not the Subduing Tiger Fist, but the strange and inexplicable Blood Sand Palm.

This man named Jianxiong Martial Arts School, endured for many years and finally exploded to avenge his father.

But he acted in a shady way, going against the mainstream, and no one was willing to make friends with him.

Poison Goose Lu Zhigang is even more extreme and difficult for strangers to approach. Moreover, the Poison Sand Palm can hurt others and yourself. If your blood and qi reach the level of a martial artist, you will be in danger of death. If you can't make it, you will be in vain.

Besides, he has offended too many people, so he is destined to act in the dark and never see the light of day.

Only Zhou You was able to gain fame for his Double Body Tiger Fist by combining the Fu Hu and Liang Xin boxing styles.

For a time, many martial artists in the city inquired about this style of boxing.

If Zhou You hadn't only possessed Qi and blood, and was not qualified to open a martial arts school, I'm afraid that at least two dozen people would have come to him to learn martial arts, calling him "master" or "master".

"Master Zhou, I have conveyed your message. Let me know when a decision is made."

A middle-aged Qi-blooded warrior in a short-collared round robe left politely.

This middle-aged man is in the latter stage of Qi and Blood, and he represents the martial arts guild in the city to invite him to join the guild.

Zhou You did not agree on the spot because the matter was too complicated and it was possible that someone wanted to use him as a tool.

The president of the martial arts association is Wang Jianxiong. It is impossible that he sent someone to invite Zhou You to join the association. Then the force represented by the middle-aged man must be another faction in the martial arts association that is hostile to Wang Jianxiong.

With his small body, if he rashly gets involved in it, he will definitely be used as a knife.

No one understood the horror of Wang Jianxiong better than him.

Zhou You shook his head, turned around and ignored the other person's words.

He is now running between the city and the town, stuck in an unfinished mission, using projection to switch between the two places.

One moment he was working as a 'Lu Zhigang' in the small town, and the next moment he was at home eating with his parents and doing housework.

The projection provided by the panel is a very wonderful existence.

In the projection state, you can communicate with the outside world, receive information and provide feedback. The only thing is that you cannot have physical contact, otherwise you will be exposed.

Therefore, Zhou You can split into two places during his daily activities, and will only switch to his main body when he needs to come into contact with real objects.

The only pity is that Cheng Xiaohe's remaining half of his life won't last too long. After he dies, the mission will be settled, the function of the clone projection will be cancelled, and it will be difficult to maintain the office in two places.

Well, we need to plan our retreat in advance.

In the afternoon, Zhou You appeared at Zeng's house, because Master Zeng had returned home a few days ago and sent someone to ask him to visit.

"You're traveling around and bringing things with you. You're so polite."

The thing Zhou You brought with him on this visit was a seal stone, which was not a very rare one, but was just right for practicing.

Master Zeng played with the stone for a few times, nodded with satisfaction, and then put it into his sleeve.

"Sit down and talk!"

The location was in the study, with only the master and the disciple present, and Miss Zeng was not present.

"What do you think of this tortoise shell?"

A mottled tortoise shell, covered with scratches and knocks, the old mud in the depressions is black and shiny, showing its ancient vicissitudes.

The branch-like cracks divide the tortoise shell into five areas: one large and four small.

On the surface of the tortoise shell, a familiar half-character was engraved on it. "Hmm?"

Zhou You recognized it. Wasn't this the half of ancient characters that he had deciphered for Zeng Ruyu?

"I can see. How is Ruyu's craftsmanship?"

Zhou You looked up suddenly, confirming that Master Zeng also knew about the half-broken text. "Not bad, quite good."

Not only were the words transcribed onto the tortoise shell, but the item was also made to look extremely old, so that anyone who saw it would think it was an antique left over from thousands of years ago.

"You two little kids are still too careless. This is about the Nine Cauldrons of Heaven and Man. You must be careful with every stroke."

Master Zeng's tone suddenly became stern, "This tortoise shell has many flaws. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that something is wrong."

"If this thing leaks clues and involves you, how can we do this?"

He picked up the paperweight on the table and broke the tortoise shell into pieces.

Zhou You looked at the flying fragments and thought it was well made, so why smash it?

Then Master Zeng said, "I will erase all traces for you. Remember, this matter ends here. Only the three of us know about it. Don't let anyone else know about it."

After a long time, Master Zeng sighed and said, "Do you know what the mission of the two great families of Xu and Qi in the city is?"

"Why does every city have an aristocratic family?"

"When the Earth Sect builds a city, does it just happen casually, or does it have to choose a specific location?"

"Your Majesty, do you have any other purpose for setting up city gate guards besides killing the evil spirits?"

Zhou You shook his head. He couldn't answer a single question.

"Originally these things were too far away from you, but now that you have come into contact with those words, it is time to tell you."

Master Zeng sighed and told him the story.

It turns out that from ancient times to the present, when every "king" ascended the throne, the first priority was to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth and worship the Nine Cauldrons of Heaven and Man from afar.

The only chance in the world for the Nine Cauldrons to gather together and appear between heaven and earth is when the feudal lord offers sacrifices and the moment moves heaven and earth.

Afterwards, the Nine Cauldrons disappeared and hid between heaven and earth, leaving no trace of them.

"However, the only way to reach the pinnacle of martial arts is to gather the power of the Nine Cauldrons and support the Supreme Dao."

"There are countless geniuses and heroes in the world who have spent their entire lives searching for the traces of the Nine Cauldrons, traveling across mountains and rivers and exploring the wilderness."

"The Grandmaster has a sense of connection with the universe. After entering this realm, he explored the places where the legendary Nine Cauldrons appeared. After making a breakthrough, he built a new city along the same spot."

"Each city is located at the site where the Nine Cauldrons once appeared."

"As the family grew stronger, they sent out branches to various cities to collect taxes on city construction and monitor the traces of the Nine Cauldrons."

"The king sent city gate guards to spread across the country, under the pretext of guarding the city gates, but in reality they had the same purpose."

Master Zeng said this with a serious look on his face, "Zhou You, you know that once this fragment of the manuscript is leaked out, there will be no place for you in the world."

After Master Zeng returned home and saw the remaining text, he immediately concluded that it was the text from the rubbings of the Nine Cauldrons.

He severely reprimanded Zeng Ruyu and tried to erase all traces. He summoned Zhou You today to explain to him the seriousness of the matter.

No matter how powerful Zhou You is, he is just a warrior of qi and blood. The Nine Cauldrons involve the struggle between kings and noble families, and there are also top masters watching all the time. If you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces.

Zhou You understood in his heart that the weight of the Nine Cauldrons was far beyond his ability to control in his current position.

He still has 8 fragments of the text in his hand, as well as 6 complete texts that are ten or a hundred times more valuable. If they are leaked, it will immediately bring about a catastrophic disaster.
