Soon, they arrived at the main hall and found a handsome man in green robes sitting there, holding an ordinary wine pot and drinking.
Zhang San walked up to the man, carefully examining the indescribably handsome man, and said, "You say you are my master's master?"
Gu Changsheng didn't answer, but put down the wine pot and sized up Zhang San, saying, "Why are you so short?"
"..."
Zhang San's face turned red, not sure if it was from anger, and he said, "You say you are my grandmaster, what proof do you have?"
"You say you are my grand-disciple, what proof do you have?" Gu Changsheng asked with a smile.
Zhang San's tone faltered, and he said a little annoyed: "When did I say I was your grand-disciple? Also, I am my master's disciple, that's a fact, everyone in the city knows it, no proof is needed. But you, if you don't tell the truth, I'll call my master out of seclusion to teach you a lesson." The two city lords of Yushui City claimed to the outside world that they were in seclusion, so Zhang San's words were not unreasonable.
Having said that, Zhang San became calm and relaxed. Why should he be angry? Who in Yushui City doesn't know that little Zhang San is the great city lord's disciple? Naturally, no proof is needed, or rather, the whole city is the proof.
After hearing this, Gu Changsheng wanted to tease this precocious little guy, and said, "Then go and call your master and uncle out of seclusion."
"I..."
Zhang San was speechless for a moment, and didn't know what to say. He was now wondering if there was a mole in the city lord's mansion who had leaked the news, otherwise why would the other party be so calm?
"Who exactly are you?" Zhang San asked seriously.
"Your grandmaster!" Gu Changsheng said with a faint smile.
"..." Zhang San.
This conversation was impossible to continue.
Zhang San quietly came to Lei Heng's side and asked, "Can you see through his cultivation level?"
Lei Heng shook his head solemnly.
Seeing this, Zhang San was immediately discouraged. Now that the strong in Yushui City had left, only Lei Heng could hold the line. If Lei Heng couldn't see through the other party's cultivation level, then... he really didn't know how to continue.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Your master is called Lu Chengfeng, and your uncle is called Gu Huaiyu."
Seeing that it was about time, Gu Changsheng stopped teasing little Zhang San. He came this time just to see the quality of his grand-disciple. Apart from talent, everything else was good, even when facing him, a "stranger," he wasn't intimidated at all.
Zhang San's expression froze after hearing this, and he asked: "Are you really my grandmaster?" Because the only people who know the names of his master and uncle in the entire Yushui City, apart from them, only know them as City Lord Lu and City Lord Gu.
Now hearing Gu Changsheng say the names of his master and uncle, Zhang San didn't know whether to believe it or not.
Gu Changsheng looked at the tangled Zhang San and said, "Caution is a good thing, but you're being too cautious, aren't you? What can I get from pretending to be your grandmaster? The few million high-grade source crystals you have, or the wooden sword on your back?"
"How do you know I have millions of high-grade source crystals?" Zhang San instantly looked at Gu Changsheng warily. The source crystals on him were all won from the gambling game in Linbei City. Apart from his master and grandmaster, only Uncle Lei, Uncle Quan, and Steward Fu knew about this. No one else knew.
"I not only know that you have millions of high-grade source crystals, but I also know that you often think about how to face your uncle's friend. Your source crystals were plundered from your uncle's friend."
"You even know this?" Zhang San was even more shocked. Could it be that the other party was really his master's master, his grandmaster? Otherwise, how would he know so many things.
"Are you really my grandmaster?" Zhang San confirmed again.
Gu Changsheng nodded calmly.
"Bang!"
Zhang San knelt down decisively and without the slightest hesitation.
"Grandmaster is above, disciple Zhang San pays respects to Grandmaster!"
As he said that, he kowtowed three times, each time very sincerely. Fortunately, Zhang San's physical body was much stronger than before, and his forehead was only a little red and hot, without any damage.
"Haha, get up, get up!"
Gu Changsheng laughed happily, kindly helped Zhang San up, and then took out an ancient scripture exuding immortal energy and a palm-sized pitch-black puppet.
"This ancient scripture is a little toy that Grandmaster used to study, and this puppet is a puppet. Consider it a gift from Grandmaster!" Gu Changsheng said with a smile.
"Thank you, Grandmaster!" Zhang San was not polite and happily accepted the ancient scripture and the puppet.
The ancient scripture was called "Thousand Machine Dao". Judging from the name, it seemed to be about mechanical arts. Zhang San casually opened it and his face was full of surprise, because it was not only an ancient book about mechanical arts, but also a cultivation technique.
Thousand machines create, changes are infinite, exhaust the world, all things return to me!
This is the preface to this technique.
"Thousand Machine Dao is the art of creation. When you cultivate to a high level, you can give life to inanimate objects. If you cultivate to the extreme, you can exhaust the creation of the world and control all things in your hands," Gu Changsheng said.
After hearing this, everyone felt shocked. Exhausting the world and controlling all things, how domineering and powerful is that? I am afraid that even the Great Emperor Ancient Emperor cannot do it, only the legendary immortals have this method.
After the shock, Zhang San was extremely excited. He liked mechanical arts very much, because using some dead objects such as stones and wood to form mysterious machines gave him a sense of accomplishment in giving these dead objects life.
"Thank you, Grandmaster, for bestowing the technique!" Zhang San was grateful again. Now he completely believed that the person in front of him was his grandmaster. Who else would take out such a powerful treasure besides his grandmaster?
Gu Changsheng waved his hand and said, "This puppet is called the Black God Puppet. It is a puppet with the strength comparable to a quasi-emperor, but its energy core has been destroyed by me. Now it can only exert the combat power of a saint at most. The puppet is also a kind of achievement of mechanical arts. I will leave it to you to repair it, maybe you can restore it to its peak state."
The Black God Puppet was the guardian puppet in the secret realm when the ancient gods secret realm was discovered. In fact, with the strength of the ancient gods, the quasi-emperor strength was not enough to be the guardian of the secret realm.
Hou Tu told him that the peak strength of the Black God Puppet was a fairy emperor level puppet, and its core was originally a complete source of the avenue, but after a long journey to this chaos, it experienced several chaotic era catastrophes. Although there was an eternal coffin suppressing the secret realm, the Black God Puppet also suffered irreversible damage, its strength seriously declined, only having quasi-emperor strength, and even the core degenerated into something that looked like a star.
Originally, Gu Changsheng took the Black God Puppet to be Hong Hong's bodyguard, but later he resurrected Hou Tu, and the condition was to let Hou Tu be Hong Hong's protector, but Hou Tu became his manager in a blink of an eye, taking over the management of the mortal world, so Hong Hong, the second protector, was gone before she even met him, so there was Bai Zhiyin, this white jade unicorn, who became Hong Hong's third protector.
As for Hong Hong's first protector, Su Wanqing, Gu Changsheng had not seen her since she left Tianhuang Star.
Gu Changsheng once deduced that Su Wanqing was no longer in this chaos, which surprised him, but he didn't care too much because Su Wanqing was not in danger.
The Black God Puppet was not given to Hong Hong, but to Zhang San, who had a unique talent for mechanical arts, which can be regarded as making the best use of it.
And Zhang San and others were frightened by the fact that this palm-sized puppet was so terrifying, especially Zhang San, who held the Black God Puppet in his hand as if it was weightless, but almost dropped it.
After the shock, Zhang San was overjoyed, fantasizing about the scene when he faced an enemy he couldn't beat in the future, and sacrificed the Black God Puppet to kill him. Just imagining it was extremely exciting!
And then Gu Changsheng lived in Yushui City, guiding Zhang San's cultivation when he had time.
And all the taverns in Yushui City had a new customer.
...
