Too much fruit

Chapter 781 Do you know how I have been living these past two years?

Dust and smoke rose in the wilderness. More than 20,000 monks ran hurriedly, evacuated the loess plain, and ran more than 200 miles towards the capital Daxing before they stopped.

Even though everyone had cultivation and Tao fruit, running over a thousand miles in a short period of time had exhausted most of the monks to the extreme and they had to stop to rest.

Moreover, this place is far away from the aftermath of the war and is considered safe. Further retreat will only waste physical strength and skills.

If we can win, there is no need to withdraw.

If the enemy can win, they can be caught up even if they retreat thousands of miles.

Rather than being chased by the enemy and easily killed when you are tired, it is better to save some strength and try to struggle.

Of course, this is the worst outcome. The monks actually still have great faith in Manjushri Bodhisattva.

will win.

Shen Hou rode on the dragon-whiskered tiger and let the tiger leap to a nearby mountain peak. He looked in the direction of the great battle and saw the aftermath in the distance gradually fading away. Although there were still strong winds and changing clouds, the blood color that filled the sky and the earth had disappeared and the blood rain had stopped.

This means that the war is over.

so······

"Who won?" Shen Hou murmured.

There was an ominous premonition in his heart, making him uneasy.

Seeing that the strong wind was gradually dying down, Shen Hou gradually narrowed his eyes, as if trying to focus his vision in this way.

"Junior Brother Shen Hou."

A voice suddenly rang out, and the Yin-Yang sword light fell to the side of Shen Hou at a speed that was completely impossible for ordinary people to capture, condensing into the illusory figure of Taoist Guangcheng.

"Senior Brother Guangcheng?!"

Shen Hou was about to look around, but was stopped by the shadow of Taoist Guangcheng, who said, "Don't worry. Daoist Jiang has confirmed that Tan Wuwei's magical power can only observe the future within her perception range. She is not here at the moment, so she cannot see the future of our conversation. As for other people, they cannot see you and me within the barrier."

The faint light turned into a barrier, quietly covering the top of the mountain. This was the Liuhe Barrier of Yuxu Temple. It was not very profound, but in the hands of a master of magic it could be so profound that it could block vision and hearing, and even evolve into virtual images.

Taoist Guangcheng is such a master of magic. He is not just a swordsman. The Fantian Seal is a clear proof of this. In addition to beating up enemies with his sword, Taoist Guangcheng is also good at using the Fantian Seal to open the soul of a person. If it hits someone, it will open up and their soul will be completely destroyed.

At this moment, in the eyes of others, they could only see Shen Hou looking into the distance. Any action he made or words he said would not be known to outsiders.

After hearing this, Shen Hou immediately relaxed, as if he was about to collapse on a tiger's back.

"Finally I can relax. Being under the watchful eyes of the Bodhisattva Wusheng is more difficult than being hunted down by the Shangqing Sect."

Shen Hou let out a long breath, as if to vent all the thrills he had experienced in the past few days, and then said to Taoist Guangcheng: "Since Senior Brother is here, it means that Taoist Jiang has won. What should we do next? Kill all these monks?"

He said this lightly.

“Although there were twists and turns, we still won,” Taoist Guangcheng nodded, “Manjusri is dead. Even if Tan Wuwei and Guanyin regroup, they can no longer resist us. They have no choice but to retreat. But…”

"Just what?" Shen Hou felt a growing ominous premonition in his heart.

"Tan Wuwei has the support of the Heavenly Monarch behind him. The two of them will definitely be able to return to the Buddha Kingdom and make a comeback. In order to prevent future troubles, Junior Brother Shen Hou needs to continue to lurk in the Buddha Kingdom."

Taoist Guangcheng showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, as if he felt a little sorry for Shen Hou. "Brother Shen Hou, you have mastered the divine whip, which is good at defeating divine practitioners. Tan Wuwei and Guanyin will definitely try to win you over. You can follow them and then..."

"Still want to lurk?"

Shen Hou raised his voice and interrupted Taoist Guangcheng, "I have been a spy for two years. Two years! Do you know how I have been spending these two years?"

"Tan Wuwei's magical power makes me dare not relax even a little. I have to think twice about every move. These two years have been more difficult than two hundred years. Do I have to continue now? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

This smooth-talking Taoist showed signs of losing his composure for the first time, which shows how much pressure he was under.

The open confrontation was not scary or difficult. The real difficulty was to stay alert and disguise oneself at all times, without even a little leisure and relaxation. Because Tan Wuwei could see the future directly, any flaw could expose Shen Hou's identity.

"One year, at most."

Taoist Guangcheng said quickly, "Brother, you will be able to come back in a year at most. The Buddhist Kingdom is about to undergo a dramatic change, and the Fire House Buddha Prison has already appeared. It will take at most a year for everything to be settled. By then, no matter what, you can return to the temple."

One year...

Calculating this way, the total time is only three years. For a fourth-grade cultivator, three years is really not a long time. Sometimes a retreat lasts more than three years. Not to mention that two years have passed in three years, so at most it is just another year of lurking.

Thinking of this, Lord Shen was already willing to agree.

However, some guarantees are indispensable.

"With Tan Wuwei here, it's too difficult to do anything, just like the past two years. I can't guarantee that I can play any big role." Shen Hou said.

In response to this, Taoist Guangcheng waved his hand and said, "Junior brother, your presence in the Buddha's kingdom is the greatest contribution you have made."

He did not forget what Jiang Li had said before.

Shen Hou played an indispensable role in making Manjusri fall into the trap this time.

As long as Shen Hou is lurking in the core of the enemy, even if he does nothing, he will be of great help.

And once Shen Hou returns to his side...

Perhaps Manjusri’s today is Jiang Li’s future.

It is really terrifying for the bearer of Shen Gongbao's Dao Fruit to be an ally.

After completing Zhuang Zhou's Dao Fruit, Jiang Li could observe the destiny of even the third level in detail. He witnessed with his own eyes how Manjusri's destiny was affected when it fell.

Maybe not fatal, but definitely a nuisance.

After hearing what Taoist Guangcheng said, Shen Hou nodded with some satisfaction and said, "That's the best."

He didn't know that Jiang Li asked him to hide because he was afraid that he would come back and do something bad. He just thought that he wanted him to do something bad to the enemy. Shen Hou didn't mind it at all, but was quite pleased with it.

See him defeat the enemy without doing anything, and wipe out his friendly forces while chatting and laughing. Isn't it wonderful?

"Good." Taoist Guangcheng was quite satisfied with the answer.

"By the way, remember not to tell Junior Brother Yin the truth. He has only grown in years but not in height. He is still a child. I am worried that he will reveal it."

"it is good."

"More importantly, I want to see Junior Brother Yin's guilty expression when he finds out the truth and recalls his hostility and murderous intent towards me over the past three years. With his temper, I'm afraid he'll slap me right there and then."

"······good."

Taoist Guangcheng hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

This is also a necessary sacrifice.

After that, Shen Hou continued to talk about some trivial matters, then waved his hand and said, "That's enough, Senior Brother, you should leave."

"Don't you want to continue talking?" asked Taoist Guangcheng.

It is rare for Lord Shen to relax, so Taoist Guangcheng should try to give him time to relax.

"Tan Wuwei should be back soon."

Shen Hou had already put away his relaxed demeanor and said calmly, "She values ​​believers and incense very much. This may be related to her Taoist achievements. Now that Wenshu is defeated, in order to prevent these monks from being hunted down, Tan Wuwei will definitely come as soon as possible."

Therefore, it is enough to have a little free time to relax.

Taoist Guangcheng heard this and did not stop, but nodded and said, "Junior brother, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

The two said goodbye, the barrier was removed, and the yin and yang sword lights immediately dissipated.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

Soon after, in less than half a cup of tea, Tan Wuwei returned.

It was indeed as Shen Hou said, she valued believers very much. When she found that the casualties among the monks were not many, Tan Wuwei's expression softened.
