Opened a martial arts school, and his eldest disciple Batman

Chapter 87 Shura and the Old Friend

It’s actually a blue whale?
Or rather, the white blue whale.

这多
Although he had never thought that his patronus would be some special magical animal, it should also be within the scope of normal animals...but he did not expect that it would be the largest whale existing on earth.

When the bright silver whale entered the sea, circular waves splashed up, almost surrounding Du Mu who was high in the sky.

The next moment, the white whale surfaced from the ocean, rising higher and higher, until it completely broke away from the sea water, circling Du Mu and swimming in the air.

But compared to his patron saint, Du Mu is too small.

On the coast, fishermen were repairing their fishing nets under the cover of night.

From afar, you can see the graceful figure of a flying fish that seems to leap out from the reflection of the moon in the sea and swim towards the bright moon in the sky.

The fisherman was stunned. Even though he had seen storms and waves in his life, he had never seen such a dreamy and beautiful scenery.

He felt that he might have encountered a monster that absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, but he was so intoxicated by the beauty that he did not feel the slightest fear.

Du Mu looked at the whale surrounding him, which was almost as big as Hogwarts School, and a word came to his mind.

They all seem to be wandering in the air with nowhere to rely on.

This is not floating in the air... This is truly without support. Although the guardian spirit has a physical body that can touch matter, it is still composed of magic power after all. Every part of the energy that makes up its existence has its own floating properties and cannot be crushed by its own mass.

Then will my Animagus also turn into a whale?

Although not necessarily, in the original work, the Patronus is often the Animagus form that the user will transform into.

This probably also involves things like the practitioner's inner emotions and subconsciousness.

But Du Mu looked embarrassed.

The patron saint is a whale, which is good. After all, the patron saint can float, does not need to breathe, and does not need the nourishment of sea water.

Even if he was not facing Dementors but ordinary enemies, Du Mu could just summon a patronus and then press down directly from the sky. This was considered a powerful area attack spell.

But the animals that Animagus transforms into are really normal animals. Birds can fly, and beasts can only run.

It would not be good to become a whale...

Du Mu didn't want to be stranded on land and unable to move after becoming an Animagus.

"Forget it. Anyway, the original book doesn't say that he will definitely become a guardian angel. What if?"

Du Mu comforted himself.

At the same time, he looked back in the direction of Kowloon Bay, calculated the position in his mind, and then flew south along the coastline.

It's time to keep your appointment.

The invitation that Luo Jiao sent me originally said that the celebration party would be tonight.

-

Most of the buildings near the coast in Lianyungang are made of white stone.

Looking from the city, it seems to merge with the white clouds in the sky, hence the name Lianyun.

But now, the blood stains on the white stone walls cannot be wiped clean.

While in the air, Du Mu did not go to the Luo sect's stronghold for the time being, but instead patrolled over Lianyungang.

It is worthy of being one of the top three cities in Donghai Province. Its urban area and density are far beyond the comparison of small places like Kowloon Bay.

Du Mu's main attention was focused on the red-haired tribes along the coast.

After all, what he heard the most in the past few days was the information about this group of red-haired people. They defeated the black-haired people in the hometown of Xiyi, and occupied the island of Dongying, forcing the remaining Japanese to flee.

The two victims reminded them more than once that they would one day invade the coast of Dashun.

How could this not arouse Du Mu's curiosity?

Just one look and Du Mu frowned.

From his perspective, he could see the fishy and murderous smell that permeated the gathering place of the Red Barbarians.

But this kind of evil spirit is a little familiar...

Du Mu recalled carefully and remembered that one of the two Japanese he had met in Kowloon Bay had a similar aura.

But it was concealed very well by the other party. Judging from the conversation, it should have been emanating from that young man.

It’s strange, why do the Japanese who escaped from the red barbarians exude an aura similar to that of these red barbarians?

Du Mu spread a layer of magic curtain under his feet and used the principle of the invisibility board he had seen in his previous life to cover his tracks.

The principle of this invisible panel is very simple. It is to form multiple slender vertical convex lenses, which can evenly disperse the light reflected from objects in the same direction and highly blur it.

If you are on the ground, although you cannot see the objects behind you, you can still clearly notice the existence of the invisible plate itself.

But now it was night, high in the sky, and moving. Unless you had anticipated it and searched non-stop from the beginning, it would be almost impossible to notice a fuzzy block moving in the sky.

When Du Mu's senses were enveloped by the Hongyi residential area, the murderous aura even slightly affected Du Mu's spirit, causing him to gradually feel irritated and impatient.

This kind of aura can actually affect others?
No wonder that Japanese youth said it needed to be suppressed.

It seems that this thing may even be contagious...

Du Mu's expression became a little more serious.

If it was just an ordinary enemy, like the foreign invaders in previous life history, Du Mu could be said to not be afraid at all.

But if these enemies are not that specific...it would be a bit troublesome.

Du Mu listened carefully, but could only hear countless heavy breathing sounds, but no communication.

Something is not right. These red barbarians clearly came to Shun Dynasty to do business. How could they all be crazy people with no ability to communicate?

Right now, these red barbarians are staying obediently in their gathering places and not going out to cause trouble. I guess they have self-control.

Du Mu couldn't quite understand what their mental state was in.

Let's go ask the Luojiao people who often do business with the Red Barbarians to see if they know anything about this.

Thinking of this, Du Mu turned the sword under his feet and flew towards the most lively place in the city.

A large courtyard in the north of the city was decorated with lights and looked as lively as if there was a happy event. The hall in front of the door was filled with people, all of whom looked happy.

The guests who received the invitation came one by one with gifts, and were then called out by the host at the door, and everyone in the courtyard welcomed them again.

Du Mu has never been sensitive to this kind of situation. As before, he immersed his senses in it and tried to gather information.

All the courtesies and compliments in the front yard were meaningless. Du Mu's attention was focused on the backyard where only a few people were.

Among them, there was a person who had met Du Mu once before, and that was Luo Qianbai who had sent the invitation.

Coincidentally, Du Mu happened to hear them mention his name at this time.

"Then Du Mu, Du Bowen hasn't arrived yet?"

"No, has he never been curious about the sacrificial method from the beginning to the end? Has he never used it once?"

"It must be. Otherwise, if it is used once, the feeling of being blessed by Luo Zu will definitely attract it."

"He seems to be a cautious person. I hope he won't spread the sacrificial method everywhere."

"It's okay. The leader is also a cautious person. He gave him the sacrificial method that was changed last year. If there are scoundrels who worship randomly, Luo Zu will find out and abandon that image at the first time."

"Alas, I didn't expect that this time, Shura's blood would appear in Xiyi."

"Since the time before Emperor Shun, it has rarely landed in China. It's just that with the development of shipping, it's the first time it's landed overseas and still has an impact here."

"Fortunately, we have the blessing of Luo Zu. After this turmoil, we will be able to usher in hundreds of years of peace and prosperity."

"But before the prosperous times come, the people of the world will have to endure another hardship."

"It's good enough that we can survive, and ordinary people can fend for themselves."

"But if we do this, will it be..."

"Ordinary people are going to die anyway. What's the problem with them handing over all the money and food they won't need after death to us before they die?"

"But we can't lie."

"How can it be considered a lie? In the assurance we gave to those idiots, we didn't say that we would help them resist Shura. Didn't we fight against ordinary bandits and robbers?"

"That's true." "Humph, Du Mu is as timid as a mouse and too cautious. He doesn't know how many opportunities he has missed. When he faces Shura's Blood, it will be too late to regret it."

"Well, today is a great day. Even if Du Mu doesn't come, we have invited more than ten of the world's top masters, and our ability to protect ourselves has increased a bit."

"Stop chatting, let's go and welcome those new masters. The leader will be here soon, and we will recruit them into the group. The next year will be our preparation stage for rapid development."

Seeing that they no longer revealed key information, Du Mu frowned.

This time I got a lot of information at once.

Blood of Shura? This must be the power that the Japanese suppressed.

Du Mu always felt that through this information, a vague overall understanding was about to emerge in his mind.

The ghost of hell, the blood of Shura... plus the two strange things the county magistrate mentioned yesterday.

Hell, Asura, hungry ghost? The one with arms all over his body, is he an animal?
What are the six paths?

No wonder I didn’t notice anything strange in the past six years of wandering around the world.

It turns out that this is a normal "human world" without any evil spirits.

All the weirdness is outside the human world.

But this is just speculation. Du Mu is not sure how they influence the mortal world. At present, he only knows that some of them are hiding in certain forces and acting as some kind of incense masters.

While Du Mu was thinking, the Luo Sect leaders had already arrived at the front yard and were exchanging pleasantries with the guests.

Du Mu simply stopped hiding his whereabouts, removed the invisibility board, and fell directly into the front yard.

All those present were well-known masters in the martial arts world, some of whom even had large families and powerful wealth, and in the past they looked down upon small sects like the Luo Cult.

But today they came with smiles on their faces to show their support, and it was obvious that they knew some inside information.

All these martial arts masters gathered together, each of them was a top figure who kept their eyes and ears open. Naturally, they noticed Du Mu's presence the moment he showed up.

In the front yard, the expressions of countless experts suddenly changed, and they all looked up into the sky.

The servants who served, the followers and juniors brought by the masters, etc., were somewhat bewildered.

But when they saw that the people who looked up were all important people at the scene, they couldn't help but look up as well.

For a moment, the faces of the martial arts masters were solemn, and the ordinary martial artists were dumbfounded.

They saw a figure who looked like a banished immortal, walking towards them in the air with his back to the bright moon, riding a bright silver flying sword.

When the opponent took a step forward and got off the flying sword, he also landed slowly from mid-air, neither hurried nor slow.

The bright silver flying sword stood upright beside this man, and waited until its owner landed completely before slowly dissipating, as if it had never appeared.

This appearance really shocked everyone present.

Where are the martial arts masters that were promised to gather together?

What's the situation with you coming here on a flying sword and riding on the moonlight?
Du Mu glanced at the people present and saw many figures who he could only see from afar in the past, looking normal.

After all, he is a time traveler. Even if some of these people are the leaders of major sects or the supreme rulers of a region, he does not feel any sense of pride after being stronger than them.

Because when he was weaker than them in the past, he never felt inferior.

If you never compare yourself with others, you will naturally not feel humble because of your weakness or happy because of your strength.

The scene went from lively to quiet. Du Mu looked at the Luo Cult leaders and asked directly, "Excuse me, everyone, what exactly is the Blood of Shura? Since you knew that Shura was going to attack, why did you deliberately hide it from the people and cheat them of their money and food?"

Several Luo Sect leaders who were originally surprised suddenly changed their expressions, wondering how Du Mu knew all this.

Just as they were thinking about how to answer, someone in the crowd asked in surprise: "Du Mu?"

The man took a step forward. He looked quite scholarly, with a scholar's hat on his head and elegant manners.

Someone who knew him whispered to those around him, "He is the Huashan Sect's senior disciple Shen Zhongxing. Rumor has it that he has 90% of the power of his father, the Huashan Sect's head."

The other person had never seen Shen Zhongxing before, but he matched his words with the information he had heard in his mind, and said in surprise: "Is he Shen Zhongxing? I heard that he is a top-notch master of the younger generation in the martial arts world. He has been fighting demons and defending the way for six or seven years, and countless villains have fallen under his sword."

"Yes, three of the four evil men who caused trouble a few years ago died at his hands, and the leader of the last four evil men has been hiding his identity and dared not show up until now."

Shen Zhongxing ignored the voices discussing him, and just said with some joy and some confusion: "Brother Du, after not seeing you for so many years, what kind of peerless magic skills have you mastered? The last time we met, you were still covered in wounds from fighting with the Beggars' Sect disciples."

After hearing this, everyone came back to their senses from the shock of Du Mu's appearance.

It seems that this person did not jump out of a crack in the rock.

There were ordinary people who knew the other party and could tell about his past difficulties, which immediately dispelled most of the aura of a banished immortal that he had created when he first appeared.

Many people even started discussing what means were used to perform the magic trick.

Du Mu looked over and found that he actually knew Shen Zhongxing, so he could be considered a semi-acquaintance.

At the beginning, the other party's temperament was not as elegant as it is now. He was also being hunted by the four evil men and looked in a miserable state.

At that time, Du Mu had just produced MSG and started selling it on a small scale. He was richer than the other party, so he was able to eat two meals at his expense.

Later, the four evil men followed Shen Zhongxing's trail and Du Mu and them teamed up to launch a sneak attack and killed one of them. They were then chased by the other three furious evil men, so they fled separately.

Fortunately, Du Mu did not reveal his face when he took action. All the villains were targeting Shen Zhongxing, so he did not have many enemies.

After returning to Kowloon Bay, Du Mu was happy to hear that Shen Zhongxing had killed two more villains. At the same time, he also understood that this man had never revealed any information about himself to the villains who were chasing him.

Now that they met again, Du Mu nodded to him and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, it's been a long time since we last met. However, I have some questions I want to ask the Luo Sect, so I can't catch up with you for now."

"Deceiving the people of their money and grain? Although I heard that Luo Jiao did collect a large amount of money and grain today, didn't he promise that it was only temporarily managed to prevent bandits from robbing, and that he would return it with a higher interest rate in winter?"

As Shen Zhongxing spoke, he walked to Du Mu's side and was slightly startled.

He felt like he was walking in a quagmire, and as he got closer to Du Mu, his feet became muddier.

But the floor is clearly paved with high-quality tiles, which fit tightly together and are solid and thick. How could it be possible that they feel sticky to my feet?
Du Mu didn't know whether to agree with Shen Zhongxing's speech. When he heard the words "winter returns", he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

This does reveal something.

It seems that the Shura Rebellion will definitely break out before winter?

Some masters from other sects said in dissatisfaction: "Du Mu, since you and Shen Xiaoyou are old acquaintances, you can be considered the junior of us old guys."

"I won't bother with your pretense and grandstanding just now. Since you once had a grudge against the Beggars' Sect, and now that the Luo Sect has wiped out the Beggars' Sect and restored peace to Donghai Province, you should be grateful."

"Even if there is none, now that Sect Leader Luo is hosting a banquet to entertain the people of Jianghu, you should attend the banquet in an appropriate manner instead of coming here to ask questions abruptly just because you have some doubts."

Shen Zhongxing shook off the random thoughts in his mind, looked at the person who was speaking, and explained to Du Mu in a low voice: "This is Hengshan Sect's Sixth Elder Cao Chaoquan. Although his strength is slightly inferior to the other Hengshan elders, his seniority is higher. You just listen to him, don't take it to heart, and don't argue with him, otherwise it will be bad for your reputation in the martial arts world. After all, we are the younger generation."

Although Du Mu nodded, he was just responding to Shen Zhongxing and didn't take the old man seriously at all.

But as soon as Cao Chaoquan said this, most people felt that Du Mu was just a gangster who was pretending to be a ghost, and they immediately agreed with him, obviously dissatisfied that they were intimidated by the limelight of this young man.

In the front yard, on the contrary, those real famous figures in the martial arts world who had received the invitations written by the leader of the Luo Sect themselves, looked at each other in silence.

They really couldn't tell whether Du Mu was performing a magic trick or riding a flying sword...

In the past, they would also think that the probability of it being a magic trick was high.

But through the invitation sent by Luo Jiao, and the memorial ceremony that was incomparable to any ordinary martial arts, they already knew that this world is not just the small puddle of Jianghu.

Maybe this Du Mu was also worshipping a deity similar to Luo Zu?
Du Mu ignored the words of the people around him, and just looked at the Luojiao leaders with a gloomy face, and asked softly: "Why don't you say anything? Is it so difficult to just answer my questions?"

As soon as these words were spoken, several high-ranking members of the Luo Sect immediately broke out in cold sweat.

Others may not know, but they know that Du Mu managed to deal with a incense master by himself.

It was because the Beggars' Sect had lost its leader that they dared to attack the Beggars' Sect in one fell swoop and gain absolute control over the entire upstream and downstream of the canal transportation.

Before the blood of Shura erupted, they might only have one or two years to save money and food. Now the Luo Sect was unstoppable and in the limelight, and this man had made an indelible contribution.

But the leader hasn't arrived yet, and they have no say in whether or not such a secret matter should be made public.

Seeing that the top leaders of the Luo Cult were in such a dilemma, those ignorant people in the martial arts world gradually figured out what was going on.

At the same time, those big shots who were the focus of the scene also had no intention of speaking out. Finally, someone who had observed the expressions of others began to keep quiet.
It was as if the head teacher suddenly appeared behind the classroom door, and the scene became eerily quiet again.

Du Mu sighed helplessly and reached out his hand to grab him. A senior member of the Luo Sect suddenly changed his expression.

He suddenly used the Thousand-Jin Weight, but the internal strength he had cultivated for decades was like incense that dissipated at the first touch in front of this man, and had no effect at all.

The whole person was like a small poultry. In an instant, Du Mu caught him in his palm, pinched his neck, and made him unable to move.
