Too much fruit

Chapter 848: Shen Hou: Superstition is not good

In the western part of the Buddhist country, outside a city called "Guangmu", the hometown of Zhenkong emerged out of thin air, with white lotuses blooming and Sanskrit chanting.

The space fluctuated, and Tan Wuwei and Taoist Shen Hou walked out together, followed by the dragon-whiskered tiger that Shen Hou raised as his disciple.

"Master Shen Hou, I ask you to stay here for the time being. Three days later, a caravan will set out from Guangmu City to Shanle City, which is located in the southwest of the Buddhist country and close to the Great Desert. You will go with the caravan and then enter the desert, detour to Liangzhou in the Great Zhou, and then secretly go to Yangzhou in the south."

Tan Wuwei said slowly: "The situation is chaotic now, even Jiang Li and Tian Xuan can't tell your whereabouts. And you are traveling in disguise. With the ability of the Taoist priest, you should be able to reach Yangzhou smoothly."

Just a little tired.

To the southwest of the Buddha Kingdom is an endless desert, the extent of which is difficult to estimate. There are all kinds of dangerous natural disasters along the way, and it can be said that all living things are extinct.

Shen Hou was not afraid of natural disasters, but it would take him a long time to walk all the way like this even if he was a fourth-grade cultivator.

However, this way is very safe. Now that the heavens are in chaos and there is no such convenient means, even if the Great Venerable wants to find someone, he has to use the stupid method, that is, to use his eyes and divine thoughts to find him.

As long as Shen Hou enters the desert and pays more attention along the way, he should be able to arrive in Yangzhou safely.

After hearing these words, Shen Hou estimated that his status in the heart of the Heavenly Sovereign had risen by at least several levels, almost comparable to a third-rank strongman.

It is for this reason that the Heavenly Emperor allowed Shen Hou to leave the Buddhist Kingdom early to avoid the upcoming dangerous battle.

Otherwise, Shen Hou holding the divine whip should be able to play a role against Jiang Li or Gongsun Qingyue who have divine Dao fruit. But it is hard to say whether it will be safe after playing the role.

Shen Hou thought in his heart, with a hesitant look on his face, and asked: "Master, did the Heavenly Lord tell me what I need to do after arriving in Yangzhou?"

He didn't believe that the Emperor of Heaven would look favorably upon him for no reason.

It can't be that they see that Taoist Shen Hou is a master of the Quanzhen Taoism and they can't bear to see such a virtuous person take risks, right?
"Nothing special, just use the magic whip in your hand well."

Tan Wuwei's eyes fell on the back of Shen Hou, who was carrying a long cloth bag with the top of the bag just exposed on his shoulders. "It is the Taoist's task to defeat the fallen gods and help King Ji Wen of Yue to subdue the local officials. If there is any need during the process, you can ask the Shangqing Sect and the King of Yue for it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hou was surprised at first, then he smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I will do my best."

There was a kind of helplessness on his face, because this kind of behavior would become a thorn in the eyes of his own patriarch. Whether as an undercover agent or someone who truly obeyed the orders of the Heavenly Lord, Shen Hou had to show his bitterness.

Because if he did it, he would be hunted down by the future emperor of the Great Zhou.

'After I return, will the master of the family send me to the Heavenly Prison? Or will the master of the family be greatly weakened by my behavior and be defeated by the Heavenly Sovereign?'

"Why don't you just go back? I don't want to be a spy anymore."

Shen Hou thought that since he was going back to the Great Zhou alone, he quietly went back to the Divine Capital, and the Emperor of Heaven would not be aware of it for a while.

Of course, on the surface, he still did as he was told, bowed to Tan Wuwei, and then rode on the Dragon-Bearded Tiger to fly towards Guangmu City.

Tan Wuwei has the ability to observe the future, so he cannot reveal any flaws in front of her. If he wants to leave, he has to wait until he is out of Tan Wuwei's sight.

Feeling the distance between them getting farther and farther, Shen Hou gradually relaxed. He finally didn't have to act so cautiously for fear of exposing his identity.

But at this moment——

"Shen Hou."

Hearing a soft call in his ear, Shen Hou almost couldn't maintain his expression.

"Don't worry. The secrets of the heavens are in chaos. It is difficult for the Heavenly Monarch to sense good or bad fortune. As for Tan Wuwei, I am now confident that I can hide it from her. Now, use your divine thoughts to reply."

"Head of the family?" Lord Shen sent out a cautious thought.

"It's me. This is the divine thought that I secretly left behind when I killed you with my sword. Now I am using it to transmit my heartbeat."

The voice seemed near and far, and said erratically: "It seems that the Heavenly Emperor wants you to return to the Great Zhou. He regards me as a powerful enemy." From the voice, Jiang Li seemed to have anticipated that Shen Hou would be valued by the Heavenly Emperor.

"Master, the Heavenly Sovereign wants me to subdue the Earthly God. This is to split the Great Zhou," Shen Hou said immediately after confirming that it was Jiang Li. "Master, how about letting me go back? Otherwise, I'm afraid it will damage your strength."

Jiuzhou had already suffered a series of disasters due to the various operations of the Emperor of Heaven, which left Jiang Li with a lot of messes. If Lord Shen also took action to subdue the gods of earth, the magical powers that Jiang Li, the emperor, could receive would be even less.

In order to avoid accidentally causing the downfall of the head of the family, Shen Hou felt it necessary to turn from evil to good and return to the family and sect he loved.

"It doesn't matter. Jiuzhou has already been divided. It doesn't matter if we lose some strength."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Li didn't seem to care at all, or perhaps this was exactly what he wanted.

"My sword has made the Heavenly Monarch feel apprehensive... That's great, you can follow the Heavenly Monarch's wishes and go to Yangzhou."

After hearing Jiang Li's voice, Shen Hou felt that the owner of this house might be a little bit sick, and would rather sacrifice his strength to make him gain the trust of the Heavenly Monarch. From what Jiang Li said, when he drew his sword, he had already thought that Shen Hou would become a tool of the Heavenly Monarch to suppress his strength.

But Jiang Li knew this would happen, but he still did it, and even watched Shen Hou go to subdue and suppress officials from all over the country.

Why is this?

Shen Hou thought about it and felt that the only thing that could be blamed was his bad luck.

"Master, you don't want me to ruin the luck of the Heavenly Monarch, do you?" Shen Hou asked tentatively, "That's impossible. If the Heavenly Monarch's luck could be ruined by me, why would he let me join the Shangqing Sect?"

It should be known that Tianjun is also proficient in Yi Dao, and his attainments can even be compared with Tianxuan. Even if he is not as good as the Great Venerable, I think he is not far behind.

If Lord Shen could really do bad things, how could the Emperor of Heaven tolerate him?

"Master, now is the end of the Dharma, the five turbidities and evil times. The so-called luck is only used to ward off curses, plots and divinations, and does not involve other things." Shen Hou advised earnestly, trying to get the master of the house not to be so superstitious.

It is unacceptable for the future emperor to ask ghosts and gods instead of asking about the people.

However, Jiang Li was completely different from Shen Hou. He was full of confidence. "Shen Hou, you have to have confidence in yourself."

Lord Shen finally understood that the head of the family had more confidence in him than he did.

In the end, Shen Hou gave up persuading him.

"Never mind. Anyway, we agreed before that it would be three years. Now there are still nearly two years left. It doesn't matter where I stay."

Shen Hou sighed and said, "Then I hope the Patriarch will win the battle and kill the Heavenly Monarch."

"If we can kill the Lord of Heaven this time, you, Lord Shen, will be able to come back. Once the Lord of Heaven dies, the rest are nothing but chickens and dogs." Jiang Li said with a smile.

And if the Heavenly Lord didn't die, then Lord Shen would have to continue staying by his side.

This can be considered as a precautionary measure.

To deal with the Heavenly Monarch, any move was not exaggerated, but necessary. Jiang Li always tried his best to deal with his enemies, especially the Heavenly Monarch.

As he spoke, the closer he got to Guangmu City, the more ethereal the voice became, and it was obviously about to run out of energy. After all, it was just a divine thought, and in order not to be discovered, Jiang Li only attached a very weak trace.

Even if the heavenly secrets are in chaos, the perception ability of the Lord of Heaven is among the strongest. The heavenly appearance at the beginning of "Yin Fu Jing" is to automatically adjust the five senses.

Finally, the voice asked, "Shen Hou, you have been with Tan Wuwei for so long, you should have met Elder Kaiyang, right?"

“Kaiyang Wuqu of the Dinghu School…”

Shen Hou frowned slightly. "This man disappeared after arriving in the Buddha Kingdom. It is said that the Heavenly Sovereign transferred him away. Before he left, I sensed a trace of evil spirit. Although it was very faint, it was extremely fierce and violent. He might have taken Mie Yuan Shu away from Tan Wuwei."
