Zhang Baoer has met those people who came here because of their fame, but they only went there for a total of ten minutes, and the final result was: Want to follow me? Thank you, no!
Of course, I didn't say it so directly, otherwise it would have been done in a few minutes.
While saying these words of rejection, he felt very sad, but he didn't dare to take a gamble because he was worried that spies from those major forces would sneak in. Although he has the Tianhu clan behind him, he is still no match for any of those families.
What's more, he doesn't want to fight for hegemony and sit in a chair like an emperor. He just wants to develop his banking career with all his heart after the coup is over, and then wait to become an immortal and a god.
Once bitten by a snake, he had been afraid of well ropes for ten years. From the fact that Hui Feng Yixiao knew the whereabouts of Xiao Sha, he deduced that there was a traitor among his men, but the traitor was hidden very deep, and he has not been found out until now.
, this incident gave a lot of impetus to the decision to change from light to dark.
He didn't intend to investigate further, because even if he were caught, it would put everyone in danger and the gain would outweigh the loss.
Those who came here because of the reputation were not angry, because Zhang Baoer said it bluntly that he had no big ambitions and did not intend to fight for hegemony. He would only be a serious businessman after peace and stability - the so-called heroes emerge from troubled times.
, the reason why they came here is to do something great in this troubled world, Zhang Baoer's plan is not in line with their ambitions.
As the saying goes, people with different opinions do not agree with each other, so after being polite for about ten minutes and drinking a few glasses of wine, everyone dispersed.
But...shortly after Zhang Baoer rode the crane and left, a man chased him. The reason why this man was able to catch up with Zhang Baoer was because his name was Xu Canghai!
Xu Canghai, a casual cultivator, a veteran sage and strong man, has a notorious reputation: Bloody Hands No Fish, Xu Canghai!
The reason why he has such a vicious reputation is because he was once wiped out by a great force at the First Saint level. After becoming a First Saint, he came back to take revenge. The battle was so dark that the sect built on the island in the middle of the lake and the
Not only was the first saint of that sect slaughtered, but all the fish in the lake were killed, the lake dried up, and blood filled it... it was extremely miserable!
"Senior Xu?"
When Zhang Baoer saw him arriving, he quickly asked Dabai to stop. Then he looked at the old man with scars on his face who was blocking the way. After giving a junior salute, he said in confusion:
"I wonder what the senior's instructions are?"
His tone was not cold, because Xu Canghai looked apologetic and seemed to be asking for help.
At this time, Xu Canghai did not show the kind of awe that would make people fearful. He looked as kind as the grandfather next door and said with a smile:
"I know that Young Master is busy, but...that...ahem..."
Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Zhang Baoer smiled and said:
"Senior, just say it directly if you have anything to say."
After that, he pointed to the forest below and said:
"Senior please!"
When the two sat down opposite each other by the river, Xu Canghai said with a smile:
"To be honest, young master, I came to seek refuge with you, but actually... I wanted to seek asylum."
"Um?!"
Zhang Baoer was stunned for a moment. After filling Xu Canghai's wine glass, he frowned and said:
"As I said before, I don't seem to be trapped in a vortex of competition. I may have intentions or not..."
"Master!"
Xu Canghai interrupted him and said with a bitter smile:
"Actually, it's not what the young master thought. All of Lao Chan's enemies were killed by Lao Chan... not the enemies, but Emperor Yan!"
Hearing this, Zhang Baoer, who didn't want to get involved, thought for a while and said:
"I had an encounter with this person, and there is indeed some resentment. Well... Senior, let me talk about it first."
Xu Canghai felt happy and hurriedly sighed:
"About two years ago, Emperor Yan sent someone to find Lao Chan, saying that he wanted to invite Lao Chan to come out and help us with big things. Lao Chan was used to being idle, so how could he be controlled? I didn't know this man's energy at first, so he was quite arrogant when he saw the messenger, and he was very angry.
Then he was wounded... Later, when he saw him getting into trouble, he realized that this person was not an ordinary person, and that there were immortals behind him to support him.
, that messenger turned out to be his third son... Hey! It's okay to be a little angry, but... even if I bow my head and admit my mistake now, and he lets me go, who can say for sure what will happen in the future, I can only find another way out, so
After hearing about the young master, I expressed my support...Ahem, I'm ashamed to say that this method is indeed a bit underhanded, but this is what I can do."
Zhang Baoer nodded, feeling pretty good about this person in his heart. As a saint, being able to say such things is enough to prove that this person is honest and aboveboard.
After thinking for a while, he frowned again and said:
"Senior, as a saint, there is no place in the world that you can't go to. Why do you only come here to this junior?"
Xu Canghai blushed and said:
"The old man and my nephew Tianyin... got to know each other, ahem, heard she was here, so I thought the young master must be good, so..."
Zhang Baoer suddenly realized that he was an old shameless... Master Tianyin's secret admirer - Master Tianyin himself probably didn't know, otherwise he wouldn't have reminded himself that someone was waiting outside Tianyin City when he went to catch the dragon.
However, this was not enough for him to completely trust this person, so after thinking for a while, he muttered:
"Senior, are you willing to swear a blood oath to heaven that you will follow me in this life?"
"Heavenly blood oath?!"
Xu Canghai's eyes narrowed and he couldn't help but stand up, frowning deeply. As he said, he had always been a casual cultivator and offended Emperor Yan because he couldn't stand the restraint. Now if he takes this oath,
So what is the difference between Zhang Baoer and Yan Emperor?
Therefore, he sighed, shook his head, bowed and apologized:
"Sorry to bother you, sir!"
Zhang Baoer smiled and said:
"One life is too long, how about ten thousand years?"
Xu Canghai was stunned for a moment, but finally shook his head, turned around and was about to leave, but heard Zhang Baoer laugh and say:
"What if we give our seniors a chance to become immortals?"
Hearing this, Xu Canghai shuddered and froze in place, his outstretched foot stopped in mid-air, then slowly retracted it, and after a long silence he sighed:
"This is indeed very tempting...but I will probably disappoint the young master."
"Why is this?"
"I came here with an impure purpose. I originally only wanted to serve for hundreds or even thousands of years. It is very tempting to become an immortal, but I suddenly figured it out... If I stay for this reason, not only will others look down on me, but I will also look down on me.
There may be gaps in your Taoist heart because of this. After all, you still have to rely on yourself to fly as an immortal. If your Taoist heart is not perfect, then what will you talk about as a flying immortal?"
"Hahaha……"
Zhang Baoer was overjoyed and said with a smile:
"It lasts for a hundred years. You and I are not masters and servants. You can choose whether to serve the senior. After a hundred years...or not for a hundred years, the senior can leave on his own. During this period, the junior will give you the opportunity to become an immortal."
"What?!"
Xu Canghai was shocked, turned around and looked at Zhang Baoer in disbelief, and said in shock:
"Not a master-servant relationship? Are you sure?!"
"Sure!"
Zhang Baoer nodded and said solemnly:
"As long as senior is willing to swear a blood oath of heaven!"
Xu Canghai was shocked both physically and mentally. After being stunned for a long time, he clenched his fist and did it!
…………
Recently, Lu Ba, who had been thinking about waving the black flag and marrying Liu Ruxi all the time, was a little bored. After learning about Zhang Baoer's idea, he could only train his army every day. One army was divided into two armies to compete with each other.
Here to pass the time.
However, he didn't have to be bored today, because it was only more than a month before the ruins of the Holy Fire Cult were opened, so he rushed his army to the Western Wilderness to settle in Shen'en City.
While Lu Ba and others were marching in a hurry, Zhang Baoer, Cai'er and those who originally lived here and then left had already appeared in Shen'en City.
Shen'en City is very small, with only a few hundred people and only a few dozen houses. Mo Wudi, who is several hundred feet long, can surround it end to end.
"Grandpa Long, your name is Mo Wudi?"
"Yes, yes, I am Mo Wudi, the future Dragon Emperor... No! It's the Dragon God!"
"It's amazing!"
Dozens of local children gathered at the city gate with ice cream given by 'Master Ah Gulu' and played with Mo Wudi. Mo Wudi always wondered why he scared these people to the point of peeing when he approached, and when they saw Zhang Baoer and
After Cai'er, I wasn't scared at all, and there was even a naughty kid who wanted to ride a dragon...
Mo Wudi was very tired from being with these children, but he did not dare to offend them, because they were fellow countrymen of His Highness. The only thing to blame was that although he had mastered this body, his realm was not enough to be able to change its size.
At the same time, Zhang Baoer and others were kneeling in front of a recently repaired grave in the center of the city:
"Dad, aunt, uncle, aunt... Cai'er, you're back!"
"Old Chief, Erha and I are here to see you!"
"Uncle Yan... Ah Qi has grown up."
"Da Ma Monkey, Bao Guang is already a monk...wuwuwu..."
…
It wasn't until the sun went down that they stopped recalling the voices and faces of the deceased.
Later, Zhang Baoer and Miao Yuan came to the city wall. Although Shen'en City was small, the city wall was very high, thick and solid. It took Miao Yuan and others more than two years to build it.
He said that although he was a monk, everyone was mortal. He was afraid that tragedies would happen again after his death, so he kept building city walls after practicing. He hoped that those who could not practice or had mediocre cultivation would be able to
Rely on this city to survive.
Unknowingly, Zhang Baoer's eyes were wet. He turned around and looked at Miao Yuan and said:
"The middle stage of Nascent Soul... is a bit low. Sooner or later, you will die, so..."
Having said this, he looked at the children chasing Duoduo and Xiaotian around the city, and at the indigenous woman holding Miao Yuan's daughter, and suddenly smiled:
"I will try my best to wish you... become a saint!"
…………
In the last afterglow, Zhang Baoer left the Hulu tribe with Xiao Ha in his arms. Cai'er and the others did not follow, but listened patiently to Duoduo telling the story of sharing food with "Ah Gulu" beside the weedy 'God's Throne'.
She looked proud because she was the first person to be given meat...
The reason why they didn't go with them was because it was the Shuangdieshan Waterfall, a place with unique meaning to Zhang Baoer - they would also go there, but not now, as it now belonged to their two brothers.
