Chapter 406: Reason(1/3)
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Looking at the message sent out in his hand, the bank manager looked at Li Hu in front of him, his eyes were three parts frightened, three parts excited, and four parts in disbelief.
"you?!!"
He wanted to say it was impossible, and wanted to teach the low-level monk in front of him who was so bold and dared to pretend to be the legion commander.
But he didn't dare.
Li Hu just glanced at the shopkeeper lightly after sending the message.
"Just waiting."
Just at this glance, all the thoughts in the shopkeeper's heart were gone. He didn't dare to bet, and he couldn't afford to bet. It was just a matter of waiting for a few days.
The shopkeeper's expression changed, and then he stood up and bowed respectfully to Li Hu.
"Zhao Lin, who holds a humble position, was originally a soldier in the 30,000-man unit of the Fifth Army. After the restructuring, he joined Qingxiao Bank. Now he is the shopkeeper of Luluo Branch. I have met you, sir."
Nearly half of the staff of Qingxiao Bank are transferred from the legion, and among the top management, more than 80% are former legion members.
After all, when Qingxiao Bank was first built, Fang Chang only had so many people at his disposal, so he naturally moved them wherever they were needed.
Hearing this, Li Hu slightly chinned his head, but stopped talking.
Although he seemed calm, he was also three parts expectant, three parts excited, one part ashamed and three parts confused, and his mood was extremely complicated.
He went out to cultivate for more than two hundred years, and finally his cultivation was completely useless, and he no longer even had the ability to return home.
The most important thing is that he doesn't know how his second brother will treat him.
With no value left, is he still the eldest brother to the second brother?
After all, my second brother has always been a very practical person.
Thinking like this, Li Hu fell into a long silence.
On the side, Chen Chong glanced at the uncle to his left and the shopkeeper who was standing on his right. He felt like ants crawling all over his body, and even felt itchy in his heart.
He wanted to ask, but he was inexplicably more in awe of the uncle he met by chance, and he didn't dare to be as carefree as before.
A low-level monk who didn't even have a spiritual stone on his body turned out to be a big shot that even the shopkeeper of a bank had to respect.
Chen Chong only thought he was dreaming.
While I was excited, I was also a little scared.
If the uncle is pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, he and he will be shot to death by the shopkeeper.
But if it were true, wouldn't he have posted it?
This is probably the noble person that Uncle Qiang has always told him. Just a word can change the fate of people like them.
However, this excitement did not last long.
The silence in the room slowly seemed to turn into a huge mountain, which made Chen Chong breathless.
Suddenly, he stood up with a crash and saw two pairs of eyes looking at him.
He raised his lips and laughed dryly:
"Well, I feel a little urgent to urinate. I need to urinate urgently."
The shopkeeper over there seemed to have come to his senses and said enthusiastically: "Little brother, I will take you there."
After saying that, he looked at Li Hu.
Seeing Li Hu nod, he hurriedly pulled Chen Chong out of the room.
Just got out of the room.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, then looked at each other, laughed, and the strangeness between them dissipated a little.
"Little brother, how did you meet this gentleman?" the shopkeeper asked.
Chen Chong answered honestly: "I met you on the road. I thought the uncle was a little pitiful. I heard that the bank had business contacting Daocheng, so I brought the uncle here to find his relatives.
Senior, you just called me uncle. Is uncle very powerful?"
The shopkeeper looked at Chen Chong with envy and pointed to the sky:
"If he didn't lie to me, then he is a big shot that you can't even imagine, the kind that reaches the sky.
Maybe I will need you to take care of me in the future, little brother."
Chen Chong couldn't stop the smile on his face when he was told by the shopkeeper. He couldn't help scratching his head and said with a silly smile:
"Hey, senior, why is such a powerful person like my uncle so weak in his aura?
When I first met him, I thought he was some down-and-out guy who had just been robbed."
The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "How can I know about the big shot's affairs? Do you still want to pee?"
Chen Chong giggled again: "I didn't feel anything after I came out. Why don't you just let me stay outside? I'll be bored inside."
The shopkeeper glanced at Chen Chong: "You silly boy, you won't cherish this kind of opportunity to get close to a big shot."
Chen Chong was unconvinced and said: "Senior, didn't you come out with me in the same way?"
But the shopkeeper said: "I am a person who needs to take care of myself. If I do more, I will make more mistakes. If I do less, I will make fewer mistakes. How can you compare with me?"
When Chen Chong heard this, he thought it made sense. He hesitated and asked:
"Then shall I go in again?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "Forget it, big shots are most sincere. You were fine before, but now in this state, it will be in vain if you go, and you will only attract displeasure."
Chen Chong immediately squatted down in frustration.
"Senior, aren't you harming me?"
The shopkeeper smiled and knelt down with him.
"I said you couldn't go in. I didn't say you wouldn't go in. The result is the same on both sides. How can I be the one harming you?"
"Senior, can't you see that you are such a nice person?"
Seeing that the shopkeeper was getting close to him, Chen Chong became more courageous and said doubtfully: "I heard that adults like you use other methods to bully small casual cultivators like us."
The shopkeeper said a cruel fact without changing his expression.
"Because from now on, you are no longer a nobody."
…
The people from Daocheng arrived much faster than the shopkeeper expected, just an hour after the news was spread.
The sky in Luluo City suddenly darkened.
Everyone in the city felt a heavy pressure.
"sky!!"
“The sky is cracking!!”
Within a moment, the people let out shrill screams, and the whole city was boiling.
I saw a dark crack opening in the sky that was tens of thousands of meters long. It was ten meters, then a hundred meters. The crack was getting bigger and bigger, and finally expanded to a width of several thousand meters.
One by one, the monks stood up with their weapons, facing the cracked sky, with panic-stricken expressions on their faces. Some of them actually fled directly.
Luluo City is just a small city with a population of just over 200,000. The bank manager, Jin Dan Zhenren, is one of the giants in the city.
Looking at the strange scene in the sky at this moment, even the shopkeeper's face changed a little.
"what happened?"
"Someone tore apart the space. This is a method only possessed by the powerful Dongxu."
The door was opened at some point. Li Hu looked up at the sky and sighed in a longing tone.
"Other than the Taoist Master you call me, there is probably no one else who dares to make such a big noise in Qingxiao Dao without scruples.
Don't panic, he is here to pick me up."
"hiss……"
The shopkeeper and Chen Chong couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Lord Taoist, he is the god who dominates everything in this land, and he is the existence that all of them rely on to survive.
And such a person would actually come to pick up the destitute man in front of him.
He is more important than his identity.
In an instant, it was as if there was an electric current rising from their tailbones to the back of their heads, and their whole bodies were trembling.
Sure enough, the next moment, the outline of a huge ship emerged from the crack, with a huge sword sculpture as wide as a door panel standing above the bow.
"It's the warship of the Legion!!"
The shopkeeper recognized the origin of the warship and exclaimed:
"This is the Spirit Sword of the First Legion. It is said that its power is only inferior to the patrol carrier Qingxiao No. 1 currently serving on the front line, and is as famous as the Great Sun Tathagata of the Great Sun God of the First Legion."
