Chapter 823 shoot yourself in the foot
Hong Xiaobao was arrested.
If it were in the past, it would inevitably cause some riots. It was the troublemaker of the Hong family, but it was the most genius young master of the Hong family. However, in today's Heilongfu City, this incident cannot even cause any waves.
After hearing the report, Hong Tianbao said oh, and there was no more text. Even Mrs. Hong, who has always spoiled Hong Xiaobao, did not say anything at this time.
Hong Tianbao told his wife that the other party was a big shot who could not afford to offend, but as long as he didn't take the opportunity to kill him, Xiaobao would suffer at most and his life would be fine.
When it comes to trouble, there are many big bosses in the city now, and the Hong family can't afford to mess with them. It was an exception to worry about the old servant's face and letting Hong Xiaobao go. But when he comes out, he causes trouble and is taken away by others, he can't blame anyone. No matter how much Mrs. Hong loves her children, she is not an ignorant urban village woman, so naturally she won't make trouble again.
The Hong family did not respond much, so Zhang Nan naturally would not take it seriously.
The Fantasy Star Sand Sea has even locked up so many anti-virtual powerhouses and the twelve constellations of the Temple. Do you still care about locking up the second ancestor of another aristocratic family?
In the eyes of others, Hong Xiaobao is a naughty child who is worried. But what is little known is that this naughty child has another identity.
shadow.
The spokesperson of the Temple in the Von!!
Hong Xiaobao's biggest disguise is not his cynical appearance, but his age. No one would have thought that the highest person in charge of the Temple in Qiongzhou would be such a young man. Moreover, as the young master of the Hong family, Hong Xiaobao's resume has been very clear since childhood and has always been taken care of by his side. Even if the people in the Temple contact him, they can't hide the eyes of the Hong family.
Therefore, even though Zhang Nan felt that Hong Xiaobao was a little weird, he did not think too deeply. At that age, even if he had the talent of despicable martial arts cultivation, his experience would be difficult to make up for. Shadow replaced the temple to coordinate the overall situation of Qiongzhou. Although it was just something shameful, how could it be such a young man?
Zhang Nan was right, but there was some gap in the cognition of the temple, such as the Holy Seal. However, the secret of the Holy Seal is far more than a Holy Seal. Hong Xiaobao is the embodiment of another method of the temple.
There are many people who know that shadow exists, but even inside the temple, few people know that shadow is not a specific person, but a kind of inheritance.
Sacred Soul Legacy.
Compatible with your memory and martial arts cultivation with your soul, gather into a stream of energy, and transmit it to the body of your successor.
At first glance, it seems very good, just like a conduction skill. But martial arts cultivation depends entirely on oneself, so how can there be such a cheap thing?
The so-called holy soul inheritance is actually a container except for the first person. When you cannot bear the power that should not belong to you, you will find a new body.
Of course, this kind of inheritance is not a body-taking. The heirs still have their own will, but they will only cause situations similar to multiple personalities due to the partial memory they acquire. However, this situation will not affect the shadow's task.
Because as long as you inherit that power, you will be branded as a temple and will never be betrayed. Even before you die, you will spare no effort to find and cultivate the next successor.
The shadow who was first sent to Qiongzhou was a real person in the temple. But now the shadow has been many generations later. Starting from the second generation of shadows, the successors behind them are either sons and nephews or disciples.
Today, Hong Xiaobao seems to be a young man, but in fact, except for his age and body, his martial arts cultivation and even his mind are no less than any thousand-year-old monster.
Hong Xiaobao became a shadow ten years ago. Over the years, he has actually done a lot of things with his disguise. But this time, he fell.
Hong Xiaobao has considered the consequences of provoking Zhang Nan. The most serious result is undoubtedly to directly kill his life. However, this is exactly what Hong Xiaobao is most worried about.
The power of shadow will accumulate every generation. The cultivation level will not increase, but the ability to resist beating will be enhanced. Today's Hong Xiaobao will definitely not be able to defeat the powerful people in the anti-virtual realm. However, it is difficult for the powerful people in the anti-virtual realm to kill him. Taking a step back, even if the physical body is defeated, the physical body can be recast based on the soul.
In fact, from the perspective of soul, Hong Xiaobao and Zhang Nan are really similar. Although his soul strength is far from comparable to Zhang Nan, it is already too much better than ordinary people.
Although serious disadvantages still exist, this difference from ordinary people still gives Hong Xiaobao a lot of confidence. It is this confidence that gives him the confidence to continuously provoke and test Zhang Nan.
The last time he was knocked out by the Seven Killing Ruler made Hong Xiaobao think he had a basic judgment on Zhang Nan's strength. But that wouldn't force him to the dead end. At most, he would just be embarrassed and knocked out again.
As long as Zhang Nan defeated him, no matter whether he was alive or dead, the result would be very chaotic. Nearly half of the aristocratic families who came to Heilongfu City were related to the temple. When the situation was out of control, whether Zhang Nan disclosed his identity as a holy envoy or not, he would inevitably reveal his true purpose, and at least he could reveal some of his flaws.
If anyone else was here, Hong Xiaobao's calculation would be successful. But he was too lucky and encountered Zhang Nan.
Although the Fantasy Star Sand Sea is powerful, if it is controlled by others, even if the old man in the mountains completely subdued this treasure, he would not be able to do so easily with Zhang Nan.
Magic weapons are tools, and using tools requires effort. If it is someone else, summoning magic weapons and opening them is enough time for Hong Xiaobao to react. However, Zhang Nan himself is a bug, and no matter what he uses, it is similar to drinking water. Hong Xiaobao had no reaction at all, so he was taken away by him.
Zhang Nan had no idea what kind of big fish he had caught accidentally, and the Hong family was not worried about Hong Xiaobao's comfort. But not everyone was so calm, and some people were so anxious now.
The only person who knows Hong Xiaobao's identity is that man in black robe and an old servant of the Hong family.
The old servant had never served his previous shadow, and it was Hong Xiaobao who found him.
No one can truly be calm from the state of anti-emptiness. Although the old servant has been cultivating his character for many years, he has not really let go. He only buried his regrets and unwillingness deeply in his heart.
Hong Xiaobao, who obtained the shadow inheritance, keenly discovered this. After some planning, he promised in the name of the temple that the old servant could recover his cultivation and take him under his command.
The things that Shadow does are mostly in the darkness and does not require too strong combat power. The old servant's experience and status in the Hong family are very in line with this needs.
Hong Xiaobao wanted to go to test it himself again. The old servant's experience told him that this was dangerous, but out of trust in Hong Xiaobao, he was not really worried. But when the result came out, the old servant was stunned.
This is not just a stone shooting myself in the foot, but a large jar and directly locking myself in.
As the shadow of the temple, Hong Xiaobao has a lot of reliance. Even if Zhang Nanzhen causes something, he can still stabilize the situation in Qiongzhou. But now, Hong Xiaobao has been arrested. No matter how powerful those reliances are, they cannot be used at all.
"Brother Hong, please come forward. Xiaobao can't do anything wrong."
The old servant was anxious and found the ancestor of the Hong family directly.
Now this is the only one he can ask for help.
The ancestor of the Hong family often asked about foreign affairs, but later he was banned from cultivation because of Yulongwu, so he stayed away from home. So many strong people came from, including many powerful people in the anti-virtual realm. The ancestor of the Hong family still refused to see people on the grounds of seclusion. Faced with the old servant's request for help, the ancestor of the Hong family was helpless.
He talked about his fellow servants with his peers, not only that the old servant was once an old man who was older than his qualifications, but also because he broke the realm and turned the realm and turned the realm and turned the realm and the old servant made a lot of efforts back then. Such a great favor could not be returned. After the old servant fell from the realm, the ancestor of the Hong family also looked for a solution, but got nothing.
I haven't been begging him for so many years, and Hong Tianbao is hard to refuse, and it is even more difficult for the ancestor of the Hong family to face his old friends.
"Old friend, it's not that I won't help." The ancestor of the Hong family sighed and said, "You are not an outsider, and I won't hide it from you. Catching Xiaobao, who comes from Tianhao Temple. Xiaobao is a stubborn person, and he is just a small punishment and a big warning. It's already considered a mercy for his subordinates. I went to plead rashly, but if the other party doesn't buy it, it's still a trivial matter, but if it's backfiring, it will hurt Xiaobao."
"I never knew this truth, but no one knew it if I didn't try it..." The old servant said anxiously: "The people in the temple are cruel and ruthless, who knows what they will do to Xiaobao!"
"They asked my Hong family to do things, especially this martial arts competition is very big, so they will definitely keep some face." The ancestor of the Hong family frowned slightly: "Old friend, why are you so concerned about Xiaobao's affairs? And looking at your expression, you seem to know very well about the affairs of the temple. I thought you would be surprised when I told this."
"This..." the old servant paused and said, "Although I don't ask about family matters, the news is not blocked. I have been walking outside more times than you. I am not interested in what transactions the Hong family has made with the temple. But Xiaobao is the future of the Hong family, and I can't watch something happen to him. If you want to take care of it, I will find another way."
The old servant knew that his actions were a little reckless, which aroused the suspicion of the ancestor of the Hong family. But the situation is very critical now, and the old servant didn't care about so much, so he turned around and left angrily.
The ancestor of the Hong family looked at the old servant's back as he left, pondered for a long time, and called the servant who accompanied him.
"Go and call Tianbao here. I need to know what Xiaobao and my old friend have been doing in the past few years."
The old servant is still working hard to save Hong Xiaobao. Hong Xiaobao, who was arrested, is completely different at this moment.
Hong Xiaobao is lucky. When he fell into the sand sea and was in a mess, he met the person he most wanted to see.
Kui Mulang, Lou Jindog, the twelve constellations of the Star and Moon Palace, and the real holy envoy of the Temple.
