One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

Chapter 226 Protecting our Ma Long, we finally arrived at Zhuge Village!

Upon hearing Lao Gu mention the law enforcers of the Celestial Palace, the Old Celestial Master became interested: "Oh, a celestial being has descended to the mortal realm?"

"No!

If they could really come down, would I need to run around like this?

The sky wall was bombarded just as an enforcement officer was on patrol, and he projected a shadow through the bombarded section.

The projection went straight to that patch of wall plaster, and coincidentally, the foreigners were indeed gathering to study that patch of wall plaster.

They seem to be a group of professors and scholars from an organization called the "Immortal Grass University Alliance."

They were all wiped out anyway.

The old master nodded: "He deserves his punishment."

Old Gu agreed, "Yes, those beasts should have died long ago!"

They have such a good research environment and such a high level of education.

Instead of thinking about contributing to all of humanity, they spend their days researching crooked and distorted things.

Oh, and there's something else funny that I'll tell you, I'm sure you'll be happy.

A smile suddenly flashed across Old Gu's face as he picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, the old master laughed and said, "Alright, you're still keeping me in suspense. Hurry up and tell me."

Don't keep this old man in suspense.

Old Gu chuckled, put down his teacup, leaned forward, and said, "Do you still remember the Divine Thief Sect?"

Upon hearing this, the old master blinked and frowned slightly: "The Divine Thief Sect, I have an impression of it."

The legendary thief Li Shengwu and the infamous Manager Liu, who roamed the city in an instant, both seem to have come from this legendary thief gang.

However, this sect has been rarely heard of in recent years. Manager Liu left the Divine Thief Sect and joined the Jianghu Xiaozhan.

Do you perhaps have information about this sect?

Old Gu continued, "I know about the same things as you. At first, I also thought that the Divine Thief Sect had disappeared."

However, the Nyima Kingdom Museum was recently robbed, and all the stolen items were large cultural relics, all of which were precious treasures of our Chinese civilization.

What's your opinion on this?

The old master pondered for a moment: "If it were an ordinary thief, stealing from a museum, they wouldn't have such a clear purpose."

That does sound a bit like the style of the Divine Thieves. Do you have any information?

Upon hearing this, Lao Gu nodded confidently: "Of course, what can be hidden from me?"

That kid's good; his methods are quite unique.

Moreover, he had previously stolen many small cultural relics and secretly donated them to our country's museums.

The company kept this matter extremely secret; it seems only the chairman knew about it.

The old celestial master stroked his white beard thoughtfully and said with satisfaction, "Good!"

There are some truly outstanding young people in this generation.

Malone is also making good progress these days.

Old Gu joked, "You're finding Ma Long more and more pleasing to the eye now, aren't you!"

Why don't you just pass on the Celestial Master's Ordination to him and see what kind of chemical reaction it produces?

"Hehe, I'd like to, he'd better have it."

Are there any traces of the otherworldly scoundrels?

The old master changed his tone, causing Lao Gu to immediately become serious.

He shook his head: "No, these rats are very well hidden."

Moreover, they can combine with and devour other beings; who knows how many people they have infiltrated?

Now we can only wait for them to come forward on their own; there's no way I can contact them.

The old master said indifferently, "Alright, they'll make their mark sooner or later."

I'm just worried they might target Malone; you'd better keep a close eye on him.

Old Gu nodded: "I understand, don't worry."

Besides, Ma Long is incredibly strong now, surrounded by top fighters, and I'm still the strongest among my peers. His safety is absolutely guaranteed.

"It's always better to be careful."

……

Zhuge Village, Wuhou School, Jinhua, Zhejiang.

Ma Long and his group hitched a ride with Feng Zhenghao and soon arrived at Zhuge Village.

To avoid any unforeseen consequences, the two sides parted ways at the village entrance, with Feng Zhenghao leading his men into the village first.

Ma Long, Xia He, Feng Baobao, Chen Duo, Wang Ye, Liu Yanyan, Zhang Lingyu, and Bao Chan, a group of eight, lingered on the outskirts for a long time.

Wang Ye was explaining the structure of Zhuge Village to Ma Long: "Junior Uncle, look closely, the layout of Zhuge Village is too orderly."

The area is low and flat in the middle, gradually rising around the edges, with a moderate pace and a balanced rhythm.

From our perspective on the hillside, the village presents a radial pattern resembling the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, with the Tai Chi symbol at the center.

Rather than calling it Zhuge Village, it would be better to call it Taiji Bagua Village.

Furthermore, the villagers face each other and lean back to back, symbolizing the village's unity in the face of external threats.

The inner eight alleys reflect each other, forming the inner Bagua (Eight Trigrams), while the outer eight hills echo each other, forming the outer Bagua.

This is why the Zhuge Liang school has endured for thousands of years and has thrived for thousands of years.

Look at these old houses; they weren't damaged even during the wars of yesteryear.

......"

Ma Long learned a lot from Wang Ye's endless explanation, but he was still somewhat skeptical and said with a sneer, "Is it really that amazing?"

Did the Zhuge family choose to settle here simply because of the good feng shui?

Wang Ye nodded: "Yes!"

People moved here because of the good feng shui.

This place is blessed with good fortune. Although it is not a dragon vein, no one dares to compete for it.

This is a treasure trove that someone specifically chose for themselves.

Ma Long suddenly realized something: "No one dares to compete for it. Could it be that the Wuhou Sect has a natural advantage in fighting in this village?"

Wang nodded reluctantly: "Of course."

When fighting on someone else's turf, how can they not have a home-field advantage?

In this Bagua Village, Wuhou Qimen can unleash its strongest power.

This is similar to you going to Northeast China to find a herbalist.

After hearing this, Ma Long shrank back and said, "Holy crap, what's the point of fighting now!"

Why didn't you say so sooner? If you had, I definitely wouldn't have signed up.

They have home-field advantage, wouldn't it be like I'm just asking for trouble if I came here?

Seeing that Ma Long was having second thoughts, Wang Ye immediately grabbed him: "Junior Uncle, why are you in such a hurry?"

How powerful can he unleash his full potential?

In front of Feng Hou, and in front of you, the cheater, aren't we all just giving away free kills?

This Bagua Village essentially reinforces the rules of Wuhou Qimen, but if you directly disregard the rules and modify them, why should they fight you?

Ma Long was relieved: "Hehe, so that's how it is."

Please explain clearly next time; you gave me a false alarm.

Wang Ye glanced at him: "Junior Uncle, why have you become so timid lately!"

This isn't like you at all!

"You know more than just Qimen Dunjia, what are you afraid of?"

Wang Ye was puzzled. Ever since Ma Long left Longhu Mountain, he had been acting strangely.

Ma Long sighed and shook his head: "Sigh, let's just do it in the last few days after the New Year."

I have this feeling that someone is watching me, and it makes me uneasy.

I'm always restless and have a feeling that someone wants to harm me.

Is it really because I'm having a run of bad luck this year?

Wang Ye shrugged and said coldly, "How would I know? Go ask Zhuge Qing!"

Let him calculate it for you.

Ma Long and Wang Ye lingered on the hillside for a long time before coming down, while Feng Baobao below was preparing to start a fire and have dinner.

"Bao'er, what are you doing!"

"Oh, since we're free, let's eat first!"

"Eat my ass! Let's go into the village first and let the Zhuge family treat us!"

"Oh, is there a hammer to eat?"
