Opened a martial arts school, and his eldest disciple Batman

Chapter 81: Lion-Hearted and Cowardly Harry (5k first order required)
There are actually two time travelers coming from the same world?
This was something Du Mu had not expected. He thought that the time traveler must come from a different world.

Hulk scratched his head and looked at Peter Parker in confusion: "Do you know me?"

"Uh..." Peter looked at Hulk carefully again and found that he was now neatly dressed and spoke clearly. He was indeed not the monster he had seen on TV news.

Since the three people in the courtyard were all very stable, Peter quickly calmed down.

He jumped off the wall and said a little embarrassedly, "I only saw it on the news... As expected, you can't trust even a single punctuation mark of those news reporters. They said you were some uncontrollable monster that threatened the lives and safety of people all over the world, and that they sent the army to Mexico to capture you."

Hulk said "Oh" and stopped talking.

He was a little unhappy.

I'm obviously living very comfortably here, but why are there people from that world lingering around and coming here to remind me how unfriendly they are?

Du Mu looked at Peter Parker and said with a smile: "If you want to leave, just go through the door behind you."

"But generally speaking, the place you first crossed over will form a two-way passage bound to the building. If you don't want to come back, try to take a detour."

Peter Parker listened to what the man in front of him said, somewhat incredulously: "The portal? Why did it suddenly appear in my house?"

Immediately his expression changed: "Wait, I came here when I walked into the bedroom. If the portal you mentioned really exists, how can I get back to the room in the future?"

Du Mu signaled the other party to calm down and said soothingly: "As long as you slightly damage the bound building... If it is your bedroom door, then you can try to remove a bolt of the hinge, it should not have any effect."

Peter Parker nodded blankly, his brain still couldn't process what was happening.

But with concern for Aunt Mei in mind, he hurriedly thanked everyone present, walked out of the martial arts hall door, and disappeared in an instant.

At this moment, Hulk suddenly frowned and said unhappily: "Banner said my free time is over, but I haven't practiced yet today..."

Du Mu looked at the sun and calculated the time, and it was indeed about the same time.

So he walked forward, patted the back of Hulk's hand, and comforted him softly with the same attitude as he had just faced Peter: "Hulk, the time is right. You guys have been playing at the beach for a long time today. Let Banner come out. If you breach the contract, Banner will have an excuse not to let you use his body in the future."

Anyway, the only feedback Hulk could give to Du Mu from his practice of the Four Phase Fist was technical improvement and a little bit of true energy.

After all, for Hulk's almost unlimited physical strength, this amount of exercise is not even a warm-up and does not increase his strength at all.

Du Mu also tried to infuse Hulk with true qi, but unfortunately Hulk didn't understand how to use the true qi for his own benefit, and could only watch it gradually dissipate. The efficiency was not as good as infusing Bruce with true qi.

Hulk curled his lips. He didn't care much about other things, but giving Banner a handle was one of the things he hated the most, second only to being chased by General Ross.

So Hulk went to the backyard. Now the archway that was in the way in the corridor connecting the front and back yards had been removed. The original woodshed had been expanded into a huge simple wooden house, where Hulk would change his clothes every time he transformed.

There is no other purpose for doing this, it is simply to give Hulk a private dressing room.

It is this attitude of treating Hulk as a human being rather than a beast, revealed in every little detail, that makes Hulk live here so comfortably and happily.

After a moment, Banner, who had tidied his appearance, walked out of the big wooden house, wiped the lenses of his glasses, put them on his face, and gave Du Mu a warm smile.

Although there are no research facilities here, Banner's interest in scientific research is just so-so.

For Banner, studying is too simple compared to life.

Because there is a correct answer to learning, you just need to write the correct answer in the blank space and all your troubles will be solved.

If only life were as clear and organized as mathematics.

Fortunately, I can come to this world... and come to this martial arts school that even can tolerate Hulk.

Du Mu looked at Banner's relaxed look and couldn't help but shake his head secretly in his heart.

He keeps saying that he hates Hulk and wants to completely separate Hulk from himself.

But in fact, after discovering that Hulk was living very comfortably here, Banner unconsciously felt relieved from the bottom of his heart.

Du Mu has discovered that Hulk is almost equivalent to Banner's childhood personality whose sense of security was not met.

Confusion, bewilderment, anger, powerlessness to resist, despair, escape.

Although his emotions seem complicated, Banner is the one with more problems among the two personalities.

Because Hulk's needs are obvious: he just wants a safe and peaceful environment, and preferably a little respect, that's all.

However, because Banner was neglected for a long time in childhood, he had already learned helplessness. He subconsciously buried all his desires deep in his heart and concealed himself with gentleness until he completely forgot his own needs.

Eventually, he suppressed himself to the limit and forced out an external personality named Hulk to help him fight for it all.

Du Mu said to Banner, "Then I'll have to trouble you to teach those children this afternoon."

Banner showed a rare confident smile: "Don't worry, these children learn very quickly. They have almost finished learning the knowledge of elementary school. I will start teaching them the content of junior high school soon."

Du Mu was startled: "Isn't the progress too fast?"

Banner shook his head and said, "Apart from the words you asked them to learn, there is nothing else they need to memorize. The science subjects in elementary school are very simple. As long as you listen carefully, you can sort it out and understand it in a day or two. I have tried my best to slow down the progress for some of the slower learners."

Du Mu was somewhat helpless: "We don't have to take the exam, so there's no need to rush. It doesn't matter if we go a little slower."

Having said that, Du Mu raised his head, looked at the door of the martial arts hall, and frowned.

He noticed that at the end of the street a hundred steps away, there was a man leading a horse, slowly walking towards the martial arts hall.

When the passers-by around saw this person, they immediately tried to avoid him and scattered to the left and right, as if this person could spread the plague.

The reason why the crowd was frightened was simple, because on the horse that the man was leading was hanging the head of a long-dead person.

But Du Mu certainly wouldn't frown because of a mere head. He just sensed a familiar aura coming from the other person at such a close distance.

It was very similar to the half-dead creature inside the skull hanging on his lower back.

During this period, since his mental strength increased greatly, the incense master has indeed become obedient. He pretends to be dead every day and does not make any noise.

Even though Lei Xiaogu was thrown in to raise Gu some time ago, the incense master was only protecting himself and tried his best to avoid conflict with Lei Xiaogu.

This made Du Mu feel a little bored, so he stuffed Lei Xiaogu's soul into Tom's diary. He didn't know how they were getting along now.

Anyway, it has been a long time since Tom appeared in a condensed spiritual entity.

The reason why he spared the life of the incense master was to let him lead the way in the future so that he could close the portal three thousand feet underground that could connect to the Hell Star.

With his current strength, it doesn't seem very difficult to use magic power to dig a hole quickly. Even if it doesn't work, he can ask Hulk and Bruce for help.

It seems that this matter needs to be put on the agenda.

But I'm not sure whether the portal three thousand feet below is bound to an object like the martial arts gym's gate. It would be great if it were that simple to close the portal just by destroying the object.

To be on the safe side, I'd better wait until Harry starts school, then go to Hogwarts for further studies for a few days and try to improve my application of magic power.

Just as he was thinking about his recent action plan, Banner saw Du Mu was silent for a long time and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Du Mu shook his head and said to Banner and Harry, "You should go to the side yard first. It's almost noon and the meal should be ready."

The two looked at each other. Although Banner was an adult, his will was less firm when faced with the requests of others. He just nodded, said hello, and walked towards the expanded backyard.

In the past few days, it has been connected to the next door, so you can go there without going out of the door. So in essence, the only thing that has been expanded is the backyard of the martial arts hall.

Harry, standing aside, seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Du Mu just didn't ask, and finally Harry couldn't hold it in anymore and asked, "Uncle Du, are there bad guys coming?"

Du Mu touched Harry's head and smiled, "If it's a bad guy, what do you want to do?"

Harry immediately assumed the starting stance of the Four Phase Fist and said seriously, "I'll beat him away! Now that Hulk is not here, I am the strongest person in the gym except for you."

"It just so happens that you are in the martial arts gym today. If the opponent is very powerful, I would like to ask you to help."

"If the opponent is not as strong as me, I will beat him away as a practice. This will prevent bad guys from coming to your martial arts gym when you are not there in the future."

Du Mu showed a slightly surprised expression. He didn't expect Harry to have such clear ideas.

Although he was not very mature when we first met, he now looks like a little adult. The environment really makes strong people grow up quickly. Du Mu touched Harry's head and smiled, "Okay, if the other party is a bad guy this time, I'll leave it to you to deal with it."

Harry nodded excitedly.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the martial arts hall.

Du Mu waved his hand, and the door slowly opened. Suddenly, a man wearing a straw hat, covered in dust and looking exhausted, stood at the door.

And there was indeed a human head tied to the saddle of the skinny horse he was leading.

Du Mu observed Harry's reaction and found that Harry still looked like a little lion. He looked at the person who came with serious eyes, and his momentum was not inferior at all.

The man slowly took off the hat on his head, revealing a strange middle-aged face.

He looked at Harry in surprise, then bowed to Du Mu and said, "I am Luo Qianbai, the head of Xisha Hall of Luo Sect. Nice to meet you, Master Du."

Someone from Luo Sect?

To be honest, when Du Mu felt the spiritual aura emanating from the other party, he initially thought it was a ghost.

But now, from a close observation, he is just an ordinary person who knows internal skills. But to be able to be infected with the aura of the ghost, he must have been in contact with it for a long time.

Du Mu was not surprised by this, as Huang Xiaoyi had also said that Luo Sect also had a master of incense.

Du Mu nodded in return and then asked, "Master Luo, why did you come here this time? Are you trying to find Jiang Wanli, a disciple of the Luo Sect?"

Luo Qianbai showed a puzzled look, as if he wanted to ask who Jiang Wanli was?
But he still said respectfully: "I am just a messenger, coming to present the invitation from the leader."

As he spoke, Luo Qianbai took out a gold-stamped invitation from his arms, stepped into the door of the martial arts hall, and handed it to Du Mu with both hands.

Just as Du Mu was about to take it, he noticed the other party's muscle movements, as if he wanted to take the invitation back.

Sure enough, Luo Qianbai flipped his hand and the invitation disappeared in his hand in an instant.

But he still said respectfully, "Wait a minute, before I present the invitation, the leader told me to ask Master Du an important matter."

After Luo Qianbai finished speaking, she waited for Du Mu to ask what the important matter was, but no one came to ask.

When I looked up, Du Mu had already opened the invitation with a calm expression and was reading it.

Luo Qianbai's face changed, and his hands fumbled in his sleeves and arms, but the invitation was gone.

He immediately realized that the rumors in the world might not be groundless.

This is most likely a top warrior who has no incense master but whose strength has reached the extraordinary level.

Judging from the other person’s age, he is only in his twenties, right?
Rather than being jealous, Luo Qianbai felt more confused.

He was also an accomplished martial artist, and he understood how difficult it was to take the next step forward after reaching the pinnacle of martial arts.

Without the assistance of the Fragrance Master, one would waste his entire life without making any progress.

How did the other party do it?
Could it be that... it has nothing to do with the incense master, but relies on the geographical advantages of the coastal areas to collude with the red barbarians?

A hint of vigilance suddenly flashed in Luo Qianbai's eyes, but he lowered his head and didn't show it.

However, he secretly thought in his heart: The leader's second-hand preparation was indeed correct. If this person is related to the Red Barbarians, he must not be allowed to know how to worship Luo Zu, otherwise there will be endless disasters.

Du Mu ignored this person and just quietly read the words on the invitation.

The calligraphy on the invitation is very delicate, but unfortunately it is written with gold powder on red paper, which makes the delicateness look vulgar.

However, it also conceals the weakness of the handwriting, as if it is a weak girl with sharp and strong eyes and elegant clothes, revealing the laziness and refinement of nobility.

The first few sentences were everyday flattery, such as "I've long heard of your great name", and Du Mu quickly skimmed over them.

The middle few sentences are thanking Du Mu for getting rid of the Beggar Gang's leader, which allows Luo Jiao to boldly fight back against the Beggar Gang.

On the day the invitations were sent out, Luo Jiao had already captured all the Beggar Gang branches in many towns along the canal.

It’s a pity that the leader of the Beggars’ Sect escaped with his life and his whereabouts are currently unknown.

This invitation was to invite Du Mu to Lianyungang to celebrate the grand event of Luo Jiao opening up the canal.

By the way, let’s also pay tribute to the hundreds of brothers who died tragically in Lianyungang.

Seeing that Du Mu seemed to have finished reading the invitation, Luo Qianbai smiled and said, "Since the invitation has been delivered, I will take my leave now..."

Du Mu didn't even look at him, but his hand holding the invitation shook slightly, and immediately the paper on the surface of the invitation turned into dust and dissipated into the air with a breeze.

I saw that there was a layer in the middle of the thick invitation, which was covered with handwriting and even pictures.

Luo Qianbai suddenly opened his eyes wide, feeling incredible.

This interlayer is coated with glue and is completely attached to the transparent paper on the top. To see the contents of the interlayer, you must first scrape off the gold powder, soak it in water, and then bake it over an open flame before it can be seen.

However, the move just now completely skipped all the steps and did not damage the interlayer at all, only shattering the solid translucent paper on top. How exquisite internal strength did this require?

This is not something that can be achieved simply by having profound skills. Luo Qianbai is almost unable to understand Du Mu's techniques from a conceptual point of view.

Du Mu looked at the contents in the mezzanine and was somewhat surprised.

Because this is actually a somewhat strange set of exercises...or a worship ceremony.

In addition to the requirements for the circulation of true qi, it also requires chanting prayers, burning incense, and visualizing the final picture in the mind.

The picture depicted a four-handed woman, who looked like a god beyond the ordinary, with a calm and kind expression.

There are four words written on it: Shenjun Luozu
Du Mu chuckled and looked at Luo Qianbai: "Is this the incense master of your Luo Sect? You want to learn the Thousand-Armed Guanyin, but why do you only have four arms? You don't know how to press more, don't you want to?"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Qianbai, who was a little nervous at first, suddenly looked stern and said in a deep voice: "Don't insult my Luo Zu! Even if you are powerful and invincible in the world, you are nothing but a chicken and a dog in front of Luo Zu. Master Du, please be careful with your words and actions!"

Du Mu didn't react much to his words, but suddenly he stretched out his hand, and another letter flew out from under the saddle.

Luo Qianbai was stunned. He was not afraid that the letter would be seen by Du Mu, but he was surprised by the ability to take things from a distance.

However, in comparison, the scene where the transparent paper stuck together with glue was shattered by a flick of the finger just now made Luo Qianbai feel even more incredible.

The transparent paper is much stronger than the middle layer. How did he manage to shatter the top layer so accurately?
Du Mu picked up the envelope and frowned when he saw the cover.

This turned out to be a letter written to him by the leader of the Beggars' Sect.

Du Mu shook the envelope casually twice, breaking it into pieces and revealing the contents inside.

After a quick glance, Du Mu's face suddenly became gloomy.

The leader of the Beggars' Sect was actually giving in. He pushed the blame for the sect's past crimes onto others, saying that it was all because of his disciples who acted recklessly and on their own. As the leader of the Beggars' Sect and a well-known figure in the underworld, how could he do such dirty things to make a profit?

He even invited Du Mu to the Beggars' Sect headquarters to have a gathering, set up a banquet, and the two sides put aside their hostility and made peace...

At this point, Du Mu could no longer bear to watch.

This is more than an insult. It is an insult.

Du Mu raised his head and looked at the head on Luo Qianbai's horse, and asked, "Is this head the person from the Beggar Gang who delivered the letter?"

Luo Qianbai swallowed his saliva and nodded reluctantly, no longer showing the indignation he had shown when Luo Zu was insulted before.

It was true that when Du Mu was enraged just now, his aura almost turned into substance, and the dust on the ground was blown in all directions.

This aura was so impressive that Luo Qianbai, who originally didn't think there would be any surprises on this trip, began to regret taking this mission.

Harry, who was standing by, heard Du Mu's words and only then noticed the head on the horse. He was so scared that he screamed "Ah!" and almost jumped up.

Du Mu looked at Harry speechlessly. It turned out that he had just seen the head. No wonder he was not afraid at all just now.

He thought the little savior was really a man of courage and lion-heart.
