Hou Zi was dull and mediocre, and he was angry, so he could only endure it, knowing that this was not the place for him to be arrogant.
Just like that, he walked out of the altar and passed through countless gates, towers and buildings, but no one came to care about him, as if he was just a transparent person and insignificant.
When he came to the main road, his indignant mood calmed down a little. He could argue with the gods in the sky, but he was helpless in front of the Taoist sect below. What could he do in vain?
Only when he walked out of the Shendu Taoist Palace, the drizzle trickled down, and allowed the rain to wash away his body, Hou Zi slowly regained his clarity.
Cursing and swearing are useless. This world only believes in strength. If you don't have strength, you deserve to be looked down upon.
After carefully thinking about everything today, in fact, although I didn't get much benefit, at least I didn't lose anything. It seems that the Taoist sect will not pursue his indiscriminate killing of Wang Jiazi, even if he is used as a sacrifice to compensate?
Being free again, from this point of view, can be regarded as a small gain. It cannot be compared with that Zhou Qianyang. A wild cultivator who can cultivate to the Bigu realm is not comparable to him.
He is a little confused and doesn't know where to go? He doesn't want to go back to Fu Feng City. As the old saying goes, you stand up wherever you fall, but if he is still the same person, how can he go back and stand up?
Moreover, Taoism will not allow him to act like this, which is obviously provoking trouble.
But he didn't want to stay in this divine capital city for a moment longer, as if the whole city was watching his joke.
Just walking in the rain like this, even if he is soaked to the skin, it doesn't matter. For a low-level repairman who has lost his sense of direction, he can't see where his hope is?
Unknowingly, I arrived at the south gate of Shendu, and was about to leave the city, but I didn’t expect someone from an open-air wine tent at the gate of the city to greet me loudly,
"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"
This kind of open-air tent is usually only visited by soldiers and soldiers. The food is simple and rough, but it is better to eat it in large quantities. It is not a meal, but in the drizzle, there is only one person sitting at the table with a plate of beans. A jug of wine.
Hou Zi didn't ask any questions, went straight forward, and drank the wine in the glass. He was a little hungry, and thought that he would either get what he wanted today, or return to the underworld, but he didn't want to change anything, and the result was that he was It was empty, without any money, and it was very embarrassing.
Taoist Chongling still looked carefree and joyless, "You're going the wrong way! You shouldn't go through the south gate, you should go through the north gate."
Hou Zi turned around and said, "Staff, cut a large plate of beef and a bowl of noodles. Remember this Taoist priest."
After another drink, my body felt warm, "Is there still a way for me?"
Taoist Chongling nodded, "Yes! It may be difficult. It depends on how you choose?"
The shopkeeper brought the cut beef, and he was not polite about it. He took a mouthful of meat and a mouthful of wine, thinking about how to open his mouth and borrow some money later.
"tell me the story?"
Taoist Chongling watched him wolfing down the food in silence, and was very satisfied with the man's control over his mood. He was angry but did not express his anger. This is a dog that does not bark before biting, which is very good.
"In a few days, I will go to the border of Liuyang to take up a post and take charge of the defense of a city..."
"Congratulations on Gaojie..." Hou Zi was vague, thinking that it's none of my business where you go, does it have anything to do with me?
"It may not be a blessing, but it could also be a disaster? Liuyang City is located on the northern border of Anhe State. It has convenient transportation and extends in all directions. It is the most closely connected commercial and trade link between Anhe State and Shan State. It is a bit lonely for me to take office alone. No one is available…”
Hou Zi refused without hesitation, "Hold on! I can't help you with this. I have no talent for business, and I don't have strong fighting skills. I will do nothing except handing you a hand and causing a lot of trouble."
No.
I am self-aware, and I can still make do in the mainland of Guangchuan, but Liuyang is close to the country of Shan, and that place..."
Taoist Chongling said calmly, "How is that place?"
Hou Zi stuffed the last piece of beef into his mouth and thought for a while, "I heard that the northern border is not peaceful? The people of Shan are fierce, thieves are like ox hair, and the government is incompetent... Also, their Taoist sect over there..."
Chong Ling shook his head, "That's not a Taoist sect, that's a demonic sect!"
In the country of Anhe, talking about the Demon Sect is a taboo for Taoists; but if the Taoists themselves are involved, that's another matter.
Hou Ting stopped talking, not because he was afraid of anything, but because he really didn’t know much about this so-called magic sect; he came from an ancestral criminal law family, his ancestors had been hanging out in Fufeng City for generations, and he rarely went out to Guangchuan Island, so he was inevitably ignorant.
.
Chong Ling got back to business and revealed his true purpose, "I am not inviting you to Liuyang City, but sending you to Dafengyuan of Shan State! That is the area in Shan State that borders Anhe Liuyang!
The Demon Sect has its once-in-a-decade harvest there, so anyone who is willing and meets the conditions can join."
Hou Zi's eyelids jumped when he heard this, "Why should I join the Demon Sect? Do you think you can't die quickly enough?"
Chong Ling had a lot of free time. He knew the ambition in Xiao Xiu's heart. As long as there was desire, there was no risk that humans would not dare to take.
"Because I need a source of information in the Demon Sect of Shan Kingdom, a pair of eyes and a pair of ears..."
Hou Zi pretended to be stupid, "Why don't you just live your life in Liuyang City? Why do you want to know the news about the Demon Sect so much? If there is a conflict, wouldn't you be unlucky?"
Taoist Chongling stared at him, "Because I don't want to stay there for decades! I don't know if I can come back alive!"
Conflicts happen every year, no matter if I keep an eye on those devil cubs or not! Instead of not knowing when an accident will happen, it is better to take the initiative to control the trend of the conflict! Only by accumulating enough merits as soon as possible will there be a chance to be transferred out of there!
To do that, I need my own eyes."
Hou Zi was unmoved, "I understand, you are dissatisfied with the garrison position arranged by Daomen, so you want to perform meritorious service as soon as possible and then move to a more relaxed and safe place. However, what does this have to do with me?
There are countless talents in Taoism. Since you have enjoyed the benefits of Taoism, you should be rewarded.
What do I owe to the Taoist sect? I have already offered it as a sacrifice once, is it possible that I have to do it a second time?
Taoist Priest, are you trying to trick me like a three-year-old child?"
Taoist Chongling was not angry. He knew how to persuade this person. The cornerstone of cooperation was interests. If the negotiation could not be reached, it would just be a matter of price.
"Don't be too busy refusing, why don't you listen to my conditions?
If you agree to sneak into the Demon Sect, no matter whether you deliver any weighty news or not, you will be considered as having made a contribution to the Tao Sect; when I leave, that is the moment you leave the Demon Sect and join the Tao Sect.
Either the Gale Plains Demon Sect suffers heavy losses, or the information is of great value, this is all a bargaining chip for you to quit hiding and join the Tao Sect!
I can give you a guarantee that in the name of all the sages of the Taoist sect, I will never break my promise!"
Hou Zi fell into deep thought. He knew that his efforts these days had finally found a direction for him, but he didn't know what was at the end of this direction? Is it a dead end? Or was there a bright future?
He needs to properly measure his authority.
Quan, then know the importance; degree, then know the short and long.
