Chapter 547: God will help those who help themselves!
The lake is blue and rugged.
A few people were fishing around the lake, a few were picking wild fruits and pouring tea and water, and there were seven or eight people scattered in all directions, looking around in a relaxed and alert manner.
When they saw the light approaching in the distance, the fishermen all stood up and looked into the distance.
One of them was born nine feet tall, with his bronze skin showing traces of veins under the scorching sun. He was majestic and mighty, like a King Kong.
As if he had noticed something, he stepped on the void, leapt a few times to get close, met Tie Tang's eyes, closed his lips, and it took him a while to pronounce three words.
"Brother Tang..."
Tie Tang was excited when he saw Biqi's appearance changed drastically. He had changed from his previous skinny and monkey-like appearance, and stepped forward to hug him.
"Xiaoqi, you have really grown up."
Bi Qi is actually only four years younger than Tie Tang, but that’s not bad for the original person, or for Tie Tang who has just arrived in this world.
Wang Andao and Biqi both have unusual meanings.
"Okay, why are you acting like a child? Let's talk about it when we get down." Wang Andao stepped forward and patted the two of them.
……
The lake water ripples, and through the clear surface of the lake, you can see a yellow bone biting the hook bait.
"Hey, Master Wen caught a fish!"
Wen Jueqian swung the fishing rod in his hand, wanting to take advantage of the momentum and throw the fish onto the shore, but what he didn't want to throw was an empty fishhook without any shadow of the fish.
"Where's the fish? Where's my fish?"
"Brother, that's not how fish are caught." Bi Qi saw his appearance and kindly stepped forward to explain to him.
Tie Tang was half-lying on the armchair, eyes slightly squinting, letting the scorching sun shine down on him. It was rare to enjoy such a comfortable time.
"Come on, Xiaoqi, he's just a busybody, so don't pay attention to him."
Wang Andao sat aside and earnestly told Tie Tang about his experiences over the years. The officials and servants of the surrounding clinics, who had never seen such a posture of his young chief, were all stunned.
Shen Siying also called the maid and poured tea for Tie Tang herself, adding a few words from time to time.
"Miss Shen, I was entrusted by Aunt Wu to come here to see you. I didn't expect that you have also cultivated the soul. If Aunt Wu knew about it, she would be very happy."
Shen Siying responded honestly: "Brother Tie, what are you talking about? I was given the Hundred Apertures Immortal Soul Pill by you, and I became an immortal and a Taoist. I got one yuan of life. A mere soul is nothing."
"It's different!"
Tie Tang sat up and said solemnly: "In the past, you had the name of a fairy but not the reality of a fairy. In fact, it was not a good thing.
In today's chaotic world, you can cultivate your soul and avoid minor disasters.
But Lao Wang...
I didn't expect that you could actually become an immortal. It seems that your father has worked hard in the past few years. Xiao Qi and Miss Shen should also share your blessings, right?"
Haven’t seen each other in ten years.
In one fell swoop, Wang Andao's cultivation level spanned from the magical realm of the witchcraft secret realm to the entire witchcraft secret realm, becoming a real immortal god in the immortal realm, rather than a mere miscellaneous fairy like Shen Siying.
Bi Qi followed the steps step by step and entered the ancient witch realm of the secret realm of witches. The speed was actually not too slow, even faster than Long Yu and Li Yao in Qingshui City.
With his and Shen Siying's qualifications, it would be impossible for them to make such rapid progress in ten years.
Especially Wang Andao, who was only a seventh-grade talent at first, but was later changed to eighth-grade talent by the Secret Technique of the Clinic Department. His cultivation speed cannot be so fast.
"Tietou, there is nothing to hide between you and me. To be honest, I don't know how I became an immortal.
My father took me to several places and spent several years improving my cultivation step by step to the realm of immortality.
Later, he said that my state of mind was not cultivated enough and that I had reached my limit here, but with the Immortal Mark, at least I have a glimmer of protection in today's troubled times."
Tie Tang nodded in agreement: "It seems that your father has good intentions. Having the Immortal Mark is indeed much safer.
Even if something unexpected happens to you, he must be able to revive you.
I have also heard some of his stories. When are you free to introduce them to me?"
"It's not difficult. He should be here now. I'll just inform him. But how did you know about my father, Tietou?"
Tie Tang then told how he went to Daleiyin Temple, how he met Tianwen, and how he went to hell with Tianwen after the battle at Lingshan and sent Tianhong to reincarnate.
Bi Qi, Wang Andao, Shen Siying, and others around them all felt their hearts swell when they heard this.
Although we all live in the same world and under the same sky, our experiences are completely different.
There was a trace of envy on Bi Qi's hard face: "Brother Tang, you have cultivated to this point, and your life is not in vain. This world is so big, I want to see it too."
Wang Andao also sighed repeatedly: "I didn't expect that so many things have happened. Master Tianwen...and Miss Feng, it's incredible that she can keep up with you Tietou."
At this moment.
Wen Jueqian, who was bored fishing on the side, suddenly twitched his ears and slammed his head into the void.
After a while, he came out again, waving to Tie Tang and others excitedly: "There's a quarrel outside, we might have to fight, there's a show to watch."
Tie Tang was about to use his magical power when he saw Wang Andao pinching the seal with one hand, taking out a palm-sized bronze mirror with the other, and threw it over the lake.
A buzzing sound.
The entire lake surface became still, and the water ripples began to reflect the scene of Xuandu City.
"Old Wang, your method is quite good."
"It's nothing. The skills of the Clinic Director are useful in Xuandu City. There are many agencies we have set up outside. It won't work if we leave this city."
Wen Jueqian walked over in amazement, looked at the lake and pointed: "It's not here, it's not here, just knock on the Immortal Gate, zoom in, zoom in, look around, and start cursing."
With Wang Andao's fiddling, the scenes near Xuandu's Immortal Gate were revealed, and all the voices nearby were clearly audible.
"If you don't accept it, you won't accept it. It's wrong to curse people. Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?"
"Indeed, people worked hard, climbed for so long, persisted for so long, and finally reached the top of the mountain. This perseverance is enough to make people respect them."
"There are so many immortals and gods in Xuandu City, are they all blind?"
"Obviously, the rule I set up by myself is that whoever can walk up the ten thousand steps of the ladder will be awarded the true biography, but now it has become a piece of paper."
……
On the Ten Thousand Steps Climbing Ladder, a figure collapsed to the ground.
He went through all kinds of hardships just for the last glimmer of hope. Now even this glimmer of hope has been wiped out, and the last will to support him has begun to collapse.
Tie Tang pointed to the lake and asked: "Old Wang, who is this person? Do you know him?"
Wang Andao shook his head slightly, then waved to the side: "Check, what is this person's name and his origin?"
"Yes, Young Master!"
Someone next to me turned on the switch and flipped through the neatly arranged classics at a very fast speed.
Tie Tang glanced casually and saw this man in black clothes and black robes, his figure and appearance shrouded in black shadow.
"Old Wang, isn't this a human? What is it? A puppet? Or a zombie?"
Just as Wang Andao was about to speak, he suddenly glanced at Wen Jueqian. Tie Tang understood and raised his hand to isolate the conversation area between the two.
"Tietou, this can be regarded as the top secret technique developed by our clinic. It covers the one-god differentiation of the Heavenly Witch Realm and the technique of manipulating corpses and controlling puppets.
You know the imperial court’s black unicorn and fire unicorn, right?
This thing... is similar in nature to them, not a complete creature, but there are many differences in other places.
Tell the truth.
I think this is a forbidden technique, which is likely to create something beyond our control, and may even create a new race of creatures in the world.
But my father has devoted himself to studying this way, and even I don’t know how far he has reached it now.”
Tie Tang glanced at the black shadow a few more times, and vaguely sensed that this kind of thing was not a good thing, but he couldn't say much at this time.
"Young Secretary Master, this person's identity is a secret within the Division!" The black shadow held a blue envelope in both hands and handed it to Wang Andao.
"Secret at the earth level? It seems to have some background!" Wang Andao was a little shocked. This was the highest level of authority he could touch.
If it were a higher-level heaven-level secret, he wouldn't even have the right to access it.
All confidential information in the Clinic Department will be strictly classified into four levels.
They are the four levels of emperor, heaven, earth and human!
A person's identity is actually not a big deal. Being able to reach the human level and be called secret is already extremely remarkable.
And being able to reach the prefecture level...
It is absolutely worthy of being called the Heaven!
After flipping through it quickly, Wang Andao handed the envelope to Tie Tang.
"Look, I didn't expect that he is the illegitimate son of Palace Master Xie. No wonder no one dares to accept him."
Tie Tang flipped through it casually, and found seven or eight portraits on the first page, showing the appearance of a baby, childhood, teenager, youth, and even now.
At the beginning of the second page, the person's name and origin are clearly written directly.
"Xie Fei, the son of Xie Zhuo, the lord of Xuandu Palace, and his biological mother Ran Yuwei, was born in Yanmanlou, a prostitute. He is suspected of having a cult background. He died in the 826th year of the Human Emperor Calendar.
The cause of death is unknown. It is suspected that Xie Zhuofa's wife Feng was instigated, or he was assassinated by other forces."
Tie Tang flipped through it quickly and soon understood Xie Fei's origins.
"It seems that he still doesn't know who his real biological father is, and his mother died early, and he has been saddled with all kinds of infamy. He must have had a hard time these past few years."
"Tietou, since this person is related to Palace Master Xie, we'd better not get involved."
Wen Jueqian on the side jumped up when he heard this sentence: "What, this person has such a big background?"
Bi Qi said in confusion: "Although the head of a palace has a high position and power, he is only one level higher than Brother Tang. Why should I be panicked?"
"You know what you are doing. He is a county governor and he is not as good as others. This is Xuandu Mansion! It is not a remote place like Qingshui County. This is the number one capital in the world, and it was once the number one city in the world.
To be able to sit here and control the most prosperous place in the world, Xie Zhuo's strength is beyond your imagination.
Even those princes and first-class officials in the Great Shang Dynasty are probably not like this, do you understand?"
After Wen Jueqian finished speaking, he almost leaned against the lake and looked at Xie Fei without blinking, unable to connect him with Xie Zhuo.
Wang Andao nodded seriously and slowly explained to Biqi: "Although what this wretched man said is a bit exaggerated, it is basically the truth.
Palace Master Xie’s strength is terrifying, and the palace is extremely deep. My father talked about it many times, and there was also a sense of caution in his words.
Especially his first wife is a member of the Feng family, the largest clan in the area. Even the Fang family and the Yu family can't make waves here."
"Fengshi..." Tie Tang murmured to himself, remembering something.
As far as he knew, the Wang family in Xuandu was the number one family in Xuandu back then, with power that extended throughout the Immortal Court and the underworld, and could be said to be powerful in the human world.
It's just that the Wang family of Xuandu at that time offended the Emperor, who had not yet established a large business, and seemed to have murdered the woman he loved most.
And that woman... is a member of the Feng clan.
Before meeting Shenzun Palace and Yu Manxiang, Tie Tang had always believed that the Feng family and the Human Emperor had joined forces to uproot the Wang family in Xuandu, which had been dominant for hundreds of thousands of years.
But later he learned that this was not the case.
Presumably after the fall of the Wang family in Xuandu, it was the Feng family who accepted most of the Wang family's legacy and was able to make both the Fang family and the Yu family bow their heads in Xuandu City.
In fact, people from the Feng clan have great influence, and Tie Tang alone knows many people from the Feng clan.
For example, real power overlords such as Feng Bingyao, Feng Yi, and even Wu Mu, when he returned to the end of ancient times, he also saw how powerful the Feng clan was.
It’s just that after so many years, the trees have bloomed, and the entire Feng family has long been like spring breeze turning into drizzle, spreading all over the world. There are few big forces like the Fang family and the Yu family that can integrate and gather together.
But today's Xuandu Feng Clan is obviously a little different.
Because of this Feng clan...
It also involves the woman the Emperor loves deeply!
"Why, it's been so long since we last met, and you think of Miss Feng again?" Wang Andao asked with a gossipy look on his face.
Tie Tang laughed, then straightened his face and seriously asked a question he had wanted to ask for a long time.
"Old Wang...you have nothing to do with the Xuandu Wang family...right?"
Originally, he had never thought of similar problems.
Coincidentally, Lao Wang's father is in Xuandu, and their surname also happens to be Wang, so it's hard for Tie Tang not to think about it.
The smile on Wang Andao's face froze, and he could squeeze flies around his forehead. He was silent for a while, and then sighed again.
"Sigh~ I really can't hide this, unless my family changes my surname. I only learned about it from my father in recent years.
The Xuandu Wang Family... Haha, actually it has nothing to do with me. I have never seen the Xuandu Wang Family in its most prosperous period, nor have I seen its withering moment.
Tietou, you don’t have to worry about anything, the Wang family in Xuandu is gone, and now my lineage has nothing to do with them."
"It's really true!" Tie Tang couldn't hide his surprise. Even though he had expected it, he was still shocked.
Wang Andao waved his hand: "Forget it, look at what I did, he is actually quite miserable. His father controls a domain, but he has fallen to this point. I don't know why Palace Master Xie doesn't take action." p>
The life of the man reflected on the lake is rapidly passing away. In fact, he has not really died yet. If he lingers, he can live for a few more years.
But now that it was so difficult to complete the 10,000-step climbing ladder, I still didn’t get the chance.
Even those superior gods would rather violate the rules they set than take action.
The last hope was wiped out, and Xie Fei's last remaining will was exhausted.
The so-called sorrow is greater than the death of the heart, it is nothing more than this.
Wen Jueqian said with a gloomy face: "According to your statement, this is the power of Palace Master Xie plus the Feng Clan of Xuandu.
As long as he is in Xuandu City for one day, he is destined to die, and no one dares to save him.
Unless the Fang family or the Yu family forcefully come forward.
But it is impossible for them to offend Palace Master Xie and the Feng Family for the sake of a mortal, an illegitimate child who is not even considered a concubine."
Tie Tang pointed to the cover and asked: "It says that his biological mother is suspected to be related to a cult. In the year 826, the three major cults had not yet emerged. Where did you get the clue?"
Wang And didn't answer, and turned around to look at the strange men in black robes beside him.
"Back to your distinguished guest, Ran Yuwei was born in the world of mortals, but her cultivation strength is not low. She suspects that she got help from the Beauty Sect.
But at that time, we knew very little about cults, and we didn’t do much research, we just had suspicions!”
Bi Qi guessed Tie Tang's thoughts: "Brother Tang, do you want to save him?"
Tie Tang smiled slightly: "It's okay to save him, but I can save him for a while, but I can't save him for the rest of his life.
If I want to save, I have to save just one or two people in the world. I can’t save even a few even though I work so hard.”
He slapped the armrest of the chair, and his soul left his body, flew out of the cave, flew out of the Clinic, and hung high in the sky above Xuandu City.
There was an uproar around the Kuxian Gate, which had already attracted the attention of many people, including some immortals.
Some passing immortals didn't know Xie Fei's true identity, but seeing his sincerity, they also wanted to help him.
But as soon as they thought about it, they immediately sensed several powerful auras locking him before they reached the Ten Thousand Steps Climbing Ladder.
For a moment, they didn't dare to move easily, but then they realized that the water inside was too deep and was not a place for them to set foot.
Tie Tang watched for a moment, and the soul returned to the physical body. With a pull of his right hand, he broke through the void and walked in.
"I'm going out and I'll be back soon!"
Wang Andao and others who were left behind looked at each other in confusion. Only Wen Jueqian looked unconcerned: "Don't worry, although this kid likes to be in the limelight, he still has the ability to do so. Do you think he's angry or not?
I finally figured it out. The more things others dare not do, the more he will do them. No wonder he is so embarrassed."
Outside the Kuxian Gate, there are ten thousand steps of the ladder.
Xie Fei, who was lying on the ground, suddenly felt the void tremble and subconsciously opened his eyes.
I saw a majestic man walking out of the void leisurely and standing in front of him, half-crouched, his eyes as clear as a star.
"Those who help themselves will be helped by God; those who abandon themselves will be abandoned by God."
"I have a skill here. If you can get started, it will be your chance. Are you willing to give it a try?"
