"Apo, why are you here?" Duanmu Taichu asked in disbelief with his eyes wide open.
At the same time, Fei Chongji and Chi Zhan also shouted in surprise.
"Master?"
"Grand Elder?"
That’s right, the person in the reception room was Duanmu Taichu’s grandfather, the village chief of Miaojiang Gelai Village, Duanmu Tongpu.
There is also Huo Tou Tuo, one of the five Ascetics of Southern Shaolin.
And the great elder of the Huoyun lineage, Chi Lie!
Huo Tou Tuo was wearing a monk's robe that was washed white. Although he had a kind face, his eyebrows were always upright like two sharp knives, giving people a feeling of awe without anger.
Like Chi Zhan, Chi Lie also has long fiery red hair and a thick red beard on his face.
When he doesn't speak, he looks particularly fierce, the kind that can scare a child to tears.
But in fact, Chi Lie just looks fierce, he has always been quite gentle to his juniors.
For example, at this moment, he said with a smile: "The military notified us to come here, saying that you have encountered some troubles, and wanted to see if we old guys can help."
Chi Zhan was surprised when he heard this: "Great Elder, do you know these two?"
There is nothing wrong with Chi Lie using the word "old" to mock himself, but he used the word "we". It is obvious that he has known Duanmu Tongpu and Huo Tou Tuo for a long time, and they seem to be very familiar with each other.
"Hahaha, of course I know you. We fought a lot when we were young, right? Bug Man, Fire Baldy." Chi Lie smiled heartily and joked towards Duanmu Tongpu and Huotoutuo.
"Bug guy?"
"Fire Baldy?"
Duanmu Taichu and Fei Chongji were stunned. They didn't expect that their grandfather and master would have such nicknames.
I guess only the great elder of the Huoyun lineage would dare to call them like that, right?
"Hmph! Red-haired ghost, it seems that you have forgotten how I used the poisonous insect to force you to perform a striptease in public at the ancient martial arts conference, right? Do you want to relive that feeling now?" Duanmu Tongpu sneered.
Huo Tou Tuo clasped his hands together and echoed, "Amitabha, I also remember the grand occasion back then. I didn't expect that besides being an outstanding martial artist, Donor Chi Lie's dancing skills were also amazing."
When Duanmu Taichu, Fei Chongji and Chi Zhan heard this, their eyes flashed with the fire of gossip.
They had received too many surprises today. They never expected that the great Elder Huoyun had such a "past". Even Chi Zhan had never heard of it in the clan.
Duanmu Taichu was very excited.
My grandfather was really capable back then. He could even force the great elder of the Huoyun lineage to do a striptease. It would be so prestigious if I could tell others about this.
It’s so awesome!
Fei Chongji seemed to have re-acquainted himself with his master. How could the serious-looking master in his impression actually say such sarcastic words?
An old hermaphrodite.
It was the first time he knew that his master had this side.
As the protagonist of the topic, Chi Lie's old face had already turned red, blending with the color of his hair and beard.
He retorted angrily, "Nonsense! I only took off my shirt. Didn't your Gu insect die afterward due to my fiery inner energy? What's the point of bringing up the past now? Do you want to start a fight?"
"Didn't you start the fight first? Let's fight, who's afraid of who?" Duanmu Tongpu rolled up his sleeves, ready to start a fight if there was any disagreement.
Huo Tou Tuo just stood aside, silently chanting: "The Buddha said, if you don't take revenge, you are not a gentleman. A good fight can be regarded as a form of friendly communication."
Fei Chongji: "..."
Master, aren't you adding fuel to the fire?
Why didn't I know you were so good at sowing discord before?
Also, Master, are you sure that the Buddha said such words?
Seeing Duanmu Tongpu and Chi Lie arguing, with Huo Tou Tuo instigating them, and it looking like they were about to start a fight, Yuan Tiejian sighed.
The older people get, the more they act like children. The ancients were right.
But he had to step forward and persuade them: "Hey, you two, have you forgotten the purpose of coming here today? The important things are more important."
Duanmu Taichu and Chi Zhan also stepped forward to help hold the two men back.
With the stairs, the two naturally stopped fighting, and they did have more important things to do.
Duanmu Taichu, Fei Chongji and Chi Zhan spoke separately to Duanmu Tongpu, Huotoutuo and Chi Lie.
"Apo, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming? Was it really the military that invited you here?" Duanmu Taichu asked curiously.
Duanmu Tongpu rolled his eyes at Duanmu Taichu and said unhappily, "You think I want to come? If the military hadn't told me that you couldn't even defeat the foreign enemies that invaded China, would I have made this trip?"
Duanmu Taichu was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he still said in a playful manner: "If I can't beat you, don't I still have you old seniors?"
Duanmu Tongpu knocked Duanmu Taichu on the head, and said angrily: "We can protect you for a while, but can we protect you for a lifetime? The future path still depends on you."
Duanmu Taichu didn't understand why his grandfather's generation didn't take action themselves.
It was obvious that if they took action, the so-called God Organization would not be able to survive at all.
But he didn't dwell on this topic and returned to the point: "So what are you doing here this time?"
Duanmu Tongpu's expression turned serious as he slowly uttered, "Our purpose in coming here is to help you break through to the Grandmaster realm!"
Duanmu Taichu's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he said subconsciously: "A Po, you...you are not kidding me, right?"
"Do you think I would be so idle as to come all the way here to play such a joke on you?" Duanmu Tongpu said unhappily.
Duanmu Taichu didn't say anything, as if he still didn't quite believe what Duanmu Tongpu said.
"Okay, okay, go back and pack up, then come with me to a place." Duanmu Tongpu really felt that his grandson was not very smart.
"Where are you going?"
"Secret Land of Western Yunnan!"
On the other side, Fei Chongji hadn't seen Huotoutuo for a long time, and when he saw him suddenly, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Huo Tou Tuo touched Fei Chongji's head, nodded and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, Xiao Fei, you have grown up."
When Fei Chongji heard this, his eyes instantly turned red.
He choked up and said, "Master... I miss you so much. Why didn't you come back to see me all these years?"
Huo Tou Tuo smiled and said kindly, "Silly child, everyone has his or her own path. You have to walk your own path. Master is just your guide. He doesn't need to be by your side all the time. He only needs to appear when you encounter a fork in the road, like now!"
"Master, what do you mean?" Fei Chongji wiped the tears that were about to overflow and asked in confusion.
"Master wants to take you to a place." said Huo Tou Tuo.
"Where are you going?" Fei Chongji was even more confused.
"Northern Shaolin, break through the Eighteen Bronze Men Formation!"
Huo Tou Tuo's words were like a bell hammer, making Fei Chongji's head buzz.
