Duke Dai held a stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, making King Zhao even more confused.
If he doesn't cooperate, Duke Dai turns around and goes to find King Zhou. With Duke Dai's previous method of turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain, King Zhou will definitely suppress him. Even if he finds out about Duke Dai, he will probably be killed.
To no avail.
If the other party dares to do this, they will definitely make sure that no outsiders will catch them.
With this matter of donating spiritual veins as a basis, any unwarranted implication of the previous dynasty would be classified as an attempt to seize the heir.
And if he cooperates with Dai Guogong, he doesn't need to do anything, he doesn't even need to have any contact with him anymore. All he needs is to ascend to the throne of God one day and fulfill his promise.
The so-called promise is only to live in peace with the other party when the previous dynasty goes to the East China Sea Islands or other places, takes over the territory as king, and raises the flag of Dayin again.
King Zhao actually didn't believe this kind of nonsense. It was too ideal, and the things he did before him didn't seem to be true at all.
But he still couldn't help but think about it, what would happen if it were true?
Really, everything will go according to his will. He is much younger than the old lady. He has only heard about the previous dynasty from the records in books. He actually has no special feelings about the previous dynasty.
He was afraid of losing, he was afraid that he would become like the old prince, and he was even more afraid that when King Zhou came to power, he would die miserably, or in other words, he would not be able to survive but not die.
Now that the contemporary Duke has appeared with a stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, he knows that there must be a big hole buried in it. The price he has to pay is definitely not that simple, and he cannot refuse the Duke.
Either be killed now, or see if he will be pushed up first. When he actually sits in that position, the situation will be different.
"Have you thought about it? Your Highness, King Zhao, if you are worried, we can sign a covenant."
Duke Dai waved his hand, and a blank golden scroll appeared on the table.
"This is a covenant scroll made from the third layer of belly skin of the Fair Beast. It is a treasure passed down from ancient times. His Highness King Zhao must have seen it many times, so you can confirm it first."
"No, I have it ready-made." King Zhao shook his head and took out a blank Fairy Beast scroll.
Duke Dai smiled and put the scroll away naturally.
King Zhao personally drew up a simple covenant clause and wrote out dozens of them, but in the end he gave up and rewrote the simplest one.
The emphasis was on the price he had to pay. All the promises he had to fulfill were made after he ascended the throne. If he had not ascended the throne, everything he said to the previous dynasty he represented could be regarded as non-existent.
As for dealing with the King of Zhou, he did not need to join forces with Duke Dai, they could each do their own thing, and the previous dynasty could not do anything bad against him.
After King Zhao drew up the terms, he confirmed that they were all beneficial to him and showed them to Duke Dai.
"Your Excellency, you can take a look first. If you have any objections, we can discuss it."
Dai Guogong glanced at it with a calm expression and had no intention of taking it. He just nodded.
"No need, just follow His Highness King Zhao. This can be regarded as a sign of sincerity."
After the words fell, Duke Dai took out his big seal and printed it on the scroll. Then blood dripped on the ground to complete the signature.
King Zhao was quite surprised that he dared to agree to such terms?
If the covenant signed with the Fair Beast Scroll is violated, the price to be paid is beyond the reach of ordinary people. In theory, there is only a lower limit for this price, but no upper limit.
It can even be specially marked that the souls of both parties are used as bets, and if a breach of contract is made, the souls will be destroyed.
But in this most extreme situation, King Zhao would not dare to gamble at all.
Seeing that Duke Dai was so cheerful, King Zhao hesitated again and again, and after weighing the pros and cons, he still put his own seal.
A ray of light flashed across the scroll, turning into ashes and dissipating. Two of the light spots flew out, fell into the two people's bodies and disappeared.
Duke Dai smiled and bowed slightly.
"His Royal Highness, King Zhao, bid farewell."
Duke Dai turned around and took a step, and his clothes turned into armor. Then he took another step out, and his face turned into that of a personal guard. He opened the curtain and left, disappearing into the camp.
In a corner of the camp, a crack opened silently and slowly closed.
In the void, the successor of the Void Scripture received Duke Dai, and the two sat on a flying boat, facing each other.
"Is the matter done?"
"It's done. Although the current situation deviates somewhat from the original plan, it is still within control." Dai Guogong looked confident. He raised his head and looked at Void Zhen, who looked like a black shadow in front of him.
Successor.
"What did you find out there? Find out why those people we managed to win over were exposed?"
Mentioning this, Duke Dai's heart bleeds.
The power radiated from dozens of people in various positions is enough to affect most positions in the divine dynasty, as well as most sects and clans.
This was his years of hard work. He was confident that Dingtiansi would never be able to find these people. Even if he imagined that he was on the opposite side, he could not find any flaws. These people were the deepest hidden secrets among those he instigated rebellion.
Call people.
These people have never even had contact with him.
But now, in just a few days, he was caught and killed by Da Ying so fast that by the time he got the news, it was too late to make any response.
These people are definitely dead.
He could only be forced to change his original plan and turn the losses into help for the new plan.
"It hasn't been found out yet. The other party was too fast. They only gave out key clues at the beginning. The possibility of tracking it down is very slim. What can be confirmed now is that the other party has an extremely wide layout in the wilderness and has extremely high intelligence capabilities.
He is strong and has quick reactions. The only person who has this kind of ability but keeps it secret is..."
As soon as the successor of Void Scripture finished speaking, Duke Dai's eyes narrowed and he slowly uttered two words.
"Stealing the door."
Duke Dai sneered.
"What else is there to think about? To have such a layout, they must have been watching us for many years. The famous Taoist sect at that time has finally become a pirate sect. We set up a trap to kill their last generation of preachers.
, now it has become commonplace that there is only one tombkeeper left.
Originally, I thought that he had been hiding his head and tail, just following the ancestral teachings of the Taoist sect, taking inheritance as the root, and passing on the fire from generation to generation. Now it seems that he is just a person after all, and he can't endure anything. It is said that the preacher and the guardian of the mausoleum
People are lifelong friends who support each other, how can he endure it.
Now they have stabbed us in the back and caused us heavy losses. This debt must be recovered."
"The overall situation is the most important thing." The successor of the Void Scripture ignored Duke Dai's anger and just said four words calmly.
"I know." Dai Guogong took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He knew what to do and what not to do when.
…
Qin Yang came to Kuishan again. To be honest, looking at the end of the sky and the looming main peak like a sky wall, he always felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
That is the awe of this first mountain in the wilderness.
But the area covered by the word Kuishan is wider than the territory of any other divine dynasty except Daying.
Emperor Ying, who was so powerful that he was at his peak, never had the idea to truly incorporate Kuishan into Da Ying's territory.
He just used Daying's territory to wrap up the entire Kuishan, so in name, Kuishan was indeed Daying's territory.
In fact, it's not.
The power of Daying's divine dynasty, although it did not lose support directly after entering Kuishan like other places, leaving the territory, it was also rapidly declining as it progressed.
From the unclear boundary, thousands of miles into Kuishan, the power of the divine dynasty shrouded here completely disappeared.
Therefore, King Zhao's team was stationed on the edge of Kuishan.
However, these have nothing to do with Qin Yang, and Qin Yang cannot borrow the power of the divine dynasty.
What he was in awe of was Kuishan itself, and he was frightened in his heart because of his experience of entering Kuishan, and also because it was said that Kuishan was not peaceful recently.
Many big guys hiding in the depths are beginning to move closer to the edge.
Because suddenly a mountain ghost appeared, and he was extremely strong.
Whether it is the original natives here or the big bosses who are hiding here to practice, they are at most occupying a territory and enclosing it as kings. They do not have the ability to directly put a label on Kuishan and say that Kuishan is my home.
But the mountain ghost has this ability.
Some people think that originally good public areas can be used by anyone. The time I occupied a piece of land was calculated in units of ten thousand years. Now suddenly a mountain ghost pops up and says that this piece of land has become your home.
Yes, I don’t want to, I don’t agree.
Some people also think that it is good to have a mountain ghost. At least it can manage Kuishan itself, sort out the earth's veins and atmosphere, regulate the wind and rain in all directions, so that they can practice more peacefully. They, the old residents, continue to live in, but the living environment is better.
, it’s okay to have a good relationship with the mountain ghost.
Ever since Qin Yang's sister-in-law and Ying Long's wife Ying Bai entered this place, it was destined to become like this.
Even if he fulfilled his promise when he brought people out, Qin Yang has always wanted to come here, but there has been no chance. Of course, more importantly, because of Nian Hai, he doesn't want to get close to this place at all, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with Kuishan.
relation.
I had to come this time. Fortunately, last time I asked the fake fox to deliver a letter and greet me first. Otherwise, Qin Yang himself would feel embarrassed and would not come to see his sister-in-law unless he had nothing to do. He would only come when something happened.
It's too bad to ask for help.
As we headed all the way towards the depths of Kuishan Mountain, if we sensed there was a dangerous place, we would avoid it first.
In Kuishan, it is a little different from other places. Places where you can feel danger are usually really dangerous. The stronger the danger sense, the more terrifying it is. On the contrary, the kind that makes people not feel danger, but hides great dangers.
There are really not many crisis places.
After traveling for several days, the sky and the earth were vast, and only the mountains could be seen dormant. The main peak at the end of the sky was still a looming shadow, and I didn't feel that I was getting much closer.
As darkness fell, mist rose again in the mountains and forests. Suddenly, the mist condensed and turned into a white fox, which jumped out of the mist.
The white fox is still the same white fox, but this time, its mist-like tail has condensed into substance.
The white fox threw himself on the ground, lowered his head like a human, and bowed solemnly.
"Bai Shao has met Master Qin Yang."
"It seems that you have successfully met my sister-in-law. How is my sister-in-law doing lately?"
Bai Shao looks like a Shiba Inu, wagging its tail, narrowing its eyes and grinning innocently.
"Thanks to Master, Bai Shao successfully met Master Shangui. Master Shangui is very nice. He also said that Master Qinyang is busy with his affairs, so there is no need to come here. We, as cultivators, are born towards the Tao and live long lives.
If we can meet him once in a thousand years, it can be considered as a sign of sincerity. Master Qin Yang can still think about Master Shangui, send the young one to wait on him, and also send a letter. Master Shangui is already very happy."
"Please serve my sister-in-law well." Qin Yang reached out and touched the white fox's head, feeling relieved. It seemed that the sister-in-law was quite satisfied with the little fox.
"Lead the way, I have something to do with my sister-in-law this time."
"Okay, Mr. Qin Yang, please relax. I will take you there right now."
The white fox swayed, turned into mist, and merged into the mist of the mountain forest. As the mist rolled, Qin Yang felt a tearing force coming from him. He was wrapped in the mist and shuttled rapidly, and there were some strange forces in it.
in in it.
It seemed as if he was moving and the mountain was also moving.
In just one day, the feeling of movement finally dissipated. After the fog dissipated, the white fox appeared, with the gate of a cave in front of him.
Looking at the sky from here, the main peak of Kuishan Mountain has already come into view, thrust into the sky, and its top cannot be seen.
"Sir, this is the cave of Lord Mountain Ghost. Your Lord has not returned yet. Please rest for a while."
The white fox was panting heavily. It was obvious that it was taking Qin Yang to fly away, which was a lot of exertion. It lay on the side and closed its eyes to cultivate. Soon, Qin Yang noticed that the ground below was constantly replenishing.
with its consumption.
Tsk, my sister-in-law has given it some permissions...
No wonder his traces can be found so far away. There is no telling how many of the forest mist that permeates the mountains are the tentacles of this white fox.
Qin Yang secretly sighed with emotion, turned around and walked into the cave.
Taking a step inside, what comes into view is a very familiar scene.
Just like the memories Qin Yang saw back then, the environment was generally the same, the only difference was that there was an ordinary thatched house standing by the river.
Qin Yang stood there, looking at this picture, and sighed secretly in his heart. People in this world are so similar. Even though they know it is impossible, they still hold on to an illusory hope and firmly believe that one day, the hope will come true.
Just like Ying Bai, she knew that what Ying Long promised her in the end would never be fulfilled, but she still lived here well, waiting for one day when Ying Long would appear in front of her again just like he saw her by the river.
Behind me, I asked her for directions.
Not long after waiting, the sound of footsteps came from behind, awakening Qin Yang.
Qin Yang turned around and saw Ying Bai walking barefoot with a smile on his face and a bamboo basket on his arm.
"Here you go, I don't have anything to entertain you here, so I just picked some fruits for you to try."
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite." Qin Yang laughed dryly. The spiritual energy emitted by the fruit he picked by the way was unprecedented in terms of richness and purity. It could be used directly as a treasure of top-quality materials.
When people are polite, he can't take them seriously.
After entering the small courtyard and sitting down, Qin Yang got straight to the point.
"Sister-in-law, I came here this time to talk to my sister-in-law about something. On the one hand, there are some things that I need to trouble my sister-in-law to cooperate with. On the other hand, I think my sister-in-law has already established a firm foothold in Kuishan, so it is almost time for her to show up.
In front of the world.
The Great Ying Dynasty is at its weakest, so it is most suitable to appear at this time, and we can also decide on the name from the beginning."
Mountain ghosts need to be worshiped, unlike ordinary practitioners.
Although Kuishan itself has always been enshrined, this is just Kuishan itself. As the current Kuishan mountain ghost, Ying Bai can accept some of the offerings, but this is completely different from setting up a mountain ghost temple and directly accepting enshrinements.
.
The latter is the best and most direct.
Qin Yang gave an overview of the current situation, and also said that there was no need for his sister-in-law to deliberately target the upcoming Kuishan Festival held by the Great Ying Dynasty.
As long as there is something wrong with the other party's sacrifice to Kuishan, you can do whatever you want without giving him face.
If the other party really does everything well, has nothing wrong with her, and has nothing to be disrespectful about, then just do whatever she wants. He, Qin Yang, is not the kind of person who deliberately lets his sister-in-law embarrass others.
Ying Bai couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
"It doesn't matter, he's just an outsider. What can I do if I target him? You don't need to worry about me being embarrassed. I'm not embarrassed at all. Just don't be embarrassed."
Listen, listen to this, you are helping your relatives but not taking care of yourself, this is a very typical example of being unreasonable.
To put it bluntly, why should she take care of the feelings of a stranger she has never met before, and make things difficult for her and herself? The life and death of outsiders is none of her business.
Qin Yang grinned so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.
"Sister-in-law is upright, but I, Qin Youde, have always been like this. As a mountain ghost, this is the best opportunity for my sister-in-law to come to the forefront and erect a statue in the temple. I can't let my sister-in-law leave an unreasonable mark to outsiders.
Impression, so let’s do whatever we want. Sister-in-law in full screen has her true wish, so don’t force it.”
Qin Yang was happy in his heart, but he still persuaded Ying Bai for a long time to do whatever he wanted. After all, Ying Bai's temperament was indeed the most suitable for the identity of Shangui and the most acceptable to others, but he would not give birth to anything.
hostility.
Ying Bai was moved after hearing this. Qin Yang came to her for help. In fact, the reverse was true. She was the one who benefited the most. She said she was helping, but in fact, the same result would have been the case if Qin Yang didn't come.
After staying in Kuishan for a few days, Qin Yang left Kuishan when it was almost time.
I was sent to the edge of Kuishan Mountain by Ying Bai personally, and I also experienced what it means that I am not moving, but the mountain is sending me away.
Waving goodbye, Qin Yang quietly returned to the wedding camp with cheerful steps.
As for why he is so sure that even if no one messes with King Zhao's sacrifice, he will definitely make mistakes?
Every time he thinks of this, Qin Yang wants to laugh.
What a simple truth. It is said to be a sacrifice to Kuishan, but you damn thing forgot about the mountain ghost. There is not even a mountain ghost empress temple. You sacrifice a hammer.
As for the fact that there were no mountain ghosts before, what do you think they were used for before?
