I asked you to play a dungeon, why don't you just raise the BOSS here?

Chapter 433: If you like to subdue demons so much, why don’t you kill yourself first?
Su Hu arranged the official identities of the two "adopted daughters" overnight, and explained everything clearly to several maids and servants to ensure that everything was foolproof.

The next morning, everything was ready, and the group left Enzhou City and continued on their journey.

Speaking of which, although Su Hu's brain circuits are a bit abnormal, his fortune is still pretty good.

After all, this guy is also one of the people who are "on the list", and finally ranked among the four star gods of the Eastern Dipper.

To be honest, the list of names in the Investiture of the Gods is indeed a bit exaggerated, and the positions of gods are extremely abstract.

For example, Ji Fa's elder brother Bo Yikao was actually named the head of the Four Imperial Gods, the North Pole Purple Star Emperor of the Central Sky...

This kind of overly outrageous godhood would most likely not be recognized by other places outside the world of Conferred Gods.

But in the worldview of Fengshen, this group of people who were destined to suffer the calamity still reaped some benefits.

Just like the Demon Star of Liangshan in Water Margin, everyone’s fortune has been greatly enhanced regardless of their abilities.

Before the Conferred God Killing Tribulation began, everything was going smoothly.

Even if you try your best to commit suicide like Su Hu, it is difficult to really die.

After all, heaven also needs these people who are destined to suffer calamity to eliminate cause and effect.

If the Conferred God Tribulation hadn't started yet, and most of the people on the list had died, it would have been a bad ending...

***
Su Hu's carriage was specially made and was originally used as a place to discuss military affairs during marches and battles.

It is divided into two rooms, an outer hall and a bedroom, equipped with a bed and a desk.

Apart from its slow speed, it is no different from an RV decorated in ancient style.

Lin Xuan was flipping through bamboo slips in the outer hall, listening to Su Daji and the other two women chattering about something inside, and he hardly felt the vibrations of the carriage.

Lin Xuan estimated that this carriage should have used some black technology to a certain extent. There should be no such high-end products in the real Shang Dynasty.

Of course, the means of transportation in the Fengshen plane are so diverse that it is a bit unreasonable to force history into it.

It's like Yuanshi Tianzun flies around on his nine-dragon sandalwood chariot whenever he has nothing to do...

Not to mention ancient times, it would still be extremely cool two thousand years later.

"Yes, Xiao Daji has described it in great detail. We have now almost understood the interpersonal relationships inside and outside the Marquis' Mansion. Now let's make up a few more small details."

The nine-tailed fox held the tea to moisten Daji's throat, looking very focused: "Did you remember what we just said, little chicken?"

Although the nine-tailed fox was somewhat uncomfortable with his original future, he also had no good feelings towards King Zhou.

But confusing King Zhou was the task assigned by Nuwa, and I agreed to it immediately...

The Wa Palace is not a corporate workplace. There is no such thing as quitting your job and looking for another one.

If Nuwa knew that she was not working hard, her fate would probably be even worse than before.

Of course, with the abilities of this fox and the experience it has gained from looking in the mirror, it is easy for it to become a demon concubine.

Even the Nine-Tailed Fox planned to avoid risks and change the way of playing.

"Don't worry, big sis, I've got it all down, it's okay!"

Su Meir held a piece of bamboo in her left hand and a carving knife in her right hand, writing and scratching on it quickly.

The demon tribe does not have the concept of "same track for vehicles, same writing system for books", and the writing systems of several ancient tribes are different.

The Chicken Tribe doesn’t have any powerful monsters, nor does it have any internal writing system.

She recorded it using the magic writing passed down from the Qingqiu lineage.

The nine-tailed fox has some status in the demon clan, but it is far inferior to those top demons who do not obey the orders of the demon banner.

As this kind of race is neither high nor low, few people would specialize in studying their writing, so there is no risk of leakage.

Having said that, even if there are knowledgeable people who know Qingqiu characters, they probably don’t have the patience to study this kind of “girl’s diary”…

"Who is this evildoer, plotting something evil here?"

At this moment, the sky was filled with mist and a silver light appeared from the horizon.

The escaping light came at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people, landed in front of the convoy, and revealed the figure of a middle-aged Taoist priest.

The Taoist had a handsome face, wore a green scarf on his head, and a yin-yang Taoist robe. In his left hand he held a basket full of exotic flowers, and in his right hand he held a whisk.

He looks like an immortal.

"This is the carriage of the emperor, please don't make things difficult for me, Taoist priest!"

The two leading guards were startled and hurriedly dismounted from their horses. They came before the Taoist priest and bowed.

They are all military generals, proficient in martial arts, able to fight ten people at once and are not afraid of death.

If they had encountered normal bandits, they would have rushed up and killed them all.

But the way this Taoist appeared was a bit outrageous, making it hard for people to have the desire to take action...

After weighing the pros and cons, the two felt that the other party was most likely the legendary immortal who could go to heaven and earth.

When you encounter such a being, don't mention the small number of people you have.

Even if tens of thousands of troops were deployed, they would still be defeated.

The two men thought of their escort mission, their hearts trembled, and they hurriedly spoke nice words.

This is also the sorrow of ordinary warriors in the world of gods and demons.

It is indeed very exciting to cultivate immortality while others practice martial arts, but it is very miserable to practice martial arts while others practice immortality...

"The emperor and his nobles are coming?"

The Taoist was slightly startled, then said with a smile: "I noticed that the evil spirit is strong here, and I am afraid that there is a fox demon causing trouble. So I came here to subdue the demon, and I have no intention of offending you."

"Fox demon? This..."

The two family generals looked at each other and said, "We are ordered to escort the noble to the capital. Such important matters must be decided by Marquis Su. May I ask for your high reputation, and allow us to report to you."

"Alright."

The Taoist pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I am Yun Zhongzi from Yuzhu Cave in Zhongnan Mountain. I am not very famous, but everything I said is true. Please take it seriously, my lord."

***
"Yun Zhongzi from Yuzhu Cave in Zhongnan Mountain? Who is this person? Is he famous?"

"He said he came here specially to subdue the fox demon? This..."

Su Hu felt a little uneasy. He waved his hand and ordered his servants to retreat. He frowned and said, "Master Lin, the cultivation of these two immortals is so... ahem, can a Qi Refiner see through their origins?"

This is quite a big problem.

If I send a nine-tailed fox into the palace, King Zhou will see through it and say, "Where are you running to, you evil monster?"

Then the entire Su family will be executed!

Well, it's okay to execute the whole family, but everyone in the world will laugh at him for being so stupid and unwise...

This was something Su Hu could not tolerate.

"Don't worry, Lord Su. Yun Zhongzi is no ordinary person. Although there are many masters in Chaoge City, there may not be anyone who can beat him."

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "This person's master is a rare figure in our Taoist sect. Lord Su should be more polite later."

"Hmm? Master Lin actually praises this Taoist's master so much. It seems that this Taoist does have some background."

Su Hu's mind moved slightly: "There are many affairs in Jizhou City, and General Zheng is a little overwhelmed. I wonder where this man's master is? This marquis is willing to use some money to hire him as a servant."

"This man's master is in the Yuxu Palace on Kunlun Mountain. We respectfully address him as 'Yuanshi Tianzun'."

Lin Xuan said calmly: "As for whether he is willing to serve as an official, Marquis Su will have to go and talk to him personally."

"Kunlun Yuxu, Yuan... Yuanshi Tianzun?"

Su Hu looked extremely embarrassed: "So this Yun Zhongzi is a master of the Chan Sect. I was just talking nonsense. Master Lin, please don't laugh at me."

Although Su Hu did not have a deep understanding of the Chan and Jie sects.

But he had long heard of the names of these saintly leaders who were widely worshipped and immortal.

When you reach the other person's level, there is no need for you to make friends with him...

I’m afraid I can’t even enter the gate of Yuxu Palace.

"Xiaoyu, I remember you had some problems with Yun Zhongzi."

Lin Xuan glanced at the frosty-faced nine-tailed fox and laughed, "I didn't expect that he would come to trouble you again this time."

"Humph! Yun Zhongzi! It's that old dog again!"

"This old dog is a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, not some random Taoist priest. Humph! In his previous life, this old dog made things difficult for me for no reason and almost killed me."

The nine-tailed fox was a little upset when he heard Yun Zhongzi's name, and cursed: "I didn't provoke anyone this time, but this guy came to my door again. He is really a dog that can't change its nature!"

Su Hu: “…”

Su Daji: “…”

"Well, you fox are going to enter the palace to be a queen anyway, so stop swearing like that."

Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "To put it another way, even if you want to curse someone, you don't have to compare yourself to shit."

"Hmm? This... seems to be the case. Then it's better not to meddle in other people's business."

"This analogy isn't that good..."

"I treat you all as my own family, that's why I'm so outspoken. I will be careful with outsiders."

The nine-tailed fox also realized that he had lost his composure. His cheeks slightly blushed, and he tried to make amends for himself by saying, "Master Lin, please judge for yourself. Isn't this old thief in the cloud going too far in bullying the fox? Does he really think that as a disciple of the Chan Sect, he can do whatever he wants?"

"I don't know that entering the palace is the mission assigned to you..."

"So, he is a Taoist priest, and he found that there is a strong evil spirit here. He came here to subdue the evil spirit. Isn't that normal?"

Lin Xuan laughed and said, "If I really have to say it, I can only blame myself for not learning the skills well enough. The fox tail was exposed immediately."

"Humph! After all, the little fox has practiced for thousands of years and has long since transformed into a human. In his life... well, at least he hasn't done anything bad so far, and he doesn't even have a trace of resentment. This old dog is just deliberately looking for trouble and making things difficult for me!"

The nine-tailed fox said angrily: "Besides, he was transformed from clouds and is not a decent person. If you say I am a monster, then we are all monsters!"

"Well, the Chan sect has always been like this. This time it is indeed not your fault."

Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "But Yun Zhongzi is not a bad person. We have different ideals and we don't need to fight each other. Just persuade him to go back, and don't fall into the trap of others to alienate him."

It seems that in the traditional system, people who are formed by heaven and earth, wind and cloud, water and fire, and even mountains and swamps, often represent a deep foundation and a high status.

There are many different opinions about what the prototype of this version of the Three Pure Ones is, and it is difficult for Lin Xuan to verify it.

But the Queen Mother of the West, the head of the female immortals, was clearly born from the innate Qi of Xihua. Well, the premise is that she was transformed into a human, and being transformed into a monkey or something like that is another matter...

But if animals and plants become spirits, they will be somewhat unwelcome.

Ancient mythical beasts and prehistoric alien species are fine, but these individuals are too powerful, and ordinary cultivators dare not provoke them and keep their distance from them.

But monsters transformed from ordinary animals are basically at the bottom of the contempt chain.

Lin Xuan remembered that Master Tongtian founded the Jiejiao Sect, which welcomed all comers and taught everyone without discrimination.

Tongtian's behavior caused great dissatisfaction among the people of the Chan sect.

Even Yuanshi Tianzun felt that immortality was not easy to come by. If those who were "covered in fur and horns, born from eggs" all became immortals, wouldn't that lower everyone's status?

Therefore, the relationship between the orthodox school and the unorthodox school has always been quite bad.

Master Tongtian was able to withstand the pressure. No matter what his two senior brothers thought, he still did his own thing and attended the class with peace of mind.

At the critical moment, he actually launched the human wave tactic and set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, which made everyone in the Chan sect feel complicated.

If the saints did not take action, Jiejiao alone could really defeat Chanjiao and Xifangjiao together...

Lin Xuan felt that the fact that the Chan sect was so particular about sectarianism was more or less a case of being too conceited and suffering in vain.

Well, the sect’s cohesion wasn’t that strong, and in the end half of the people ran away.

Unless this is also part of the plan of Taishang or Yuanshi Tianzun, involving some kind of layout against the Heavenly Dao...

Otherwise, judging from the results alone, the fight between the Orthodox and Unorthodox sects was a lose-lose situation for both sides.

"A plan to sow discord?"

The nine-tailed fox was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Yes, Yun Zhongzi came too quickly this time. This never happened in my previous life. Was it that the short Taoist priest who plotted against me again last night... uh, plotted against the little fox?"

The fox was halfway through his words when he thought of the unfathomable cultivation level of the dwarf Taoist priest and suddenly became frightened again.

He was much more polite in his words.

"You didn't meet me in your previous life, and that wasn't really a previous life..."

"I roughly know who that short Taoist is, but I still need to verify it. That person's cultivation is far superior to yours, so don't worry about it."

Lin Xuan waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Since Yun Zhongzi is here for Xiaoyu, Mei'er and Daji will stay here. Xiaoyu and I will go over with Su Hou to take a look."

Lin Xuan had received some favors from Guang Chengzi in the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty plane, so he didn't want to take the initiative to fight with his junior brother.

Speaking of which, Yun Zhongzi is a somewhat eccentric person and doesn't interact much with the Twelve Golden Immortals of Yuxu.

For example, at this point in time, the Twelve Golden Immortals of Yuxu were acting very cautiously, fearing that they would be involved in cause and effect and accidentally suffer a calamity.

Yun Zhongzi didn't have so many concerns. He took the initiative to go to Chaoge to meet King Zhou, intending to subdue the demon and kill the fox.

Later, he personally used the Heavenly Fire Pillar to burn Grand Tutor Wen Zhong to death at Juelong Ridge, showing that he was not afraid of offending others.

Of course, some people also say that the combination of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Yuxu is actually an unlucky combination, and it is not a good thing to enter.

Later, when they faced the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, this group of people were caught in one fell swoop by the Three Goddesses, and everyone had the three flowers on their heads cut off, causing great damage to their vitality.

However, Yun Zhongzi was always free from disaster and illness, and lived a free and easy life.

It can be seen that having a deep fortune is more valuable than having a deep cultivation...

"Yes!"

***
"I am Su Hu, Marquis of Jizhou. I have long heard of the name of Taoist Master Yun Zhongzi, and I have come here specially to meet you!"

After everyone finished discussing, Su Hu took the lead, strode up to Yun Zhongzi and bowed.

"Have you long admired your name?"

Yun Zhongzi raised his eyebrows and said, "I have lived in the mountains for a long time. I wonder how Lord Su knew my name?"

"This one……"

Su Hu didn't expect Yun Zhongzi to be so honest, and he didn't know how to say that he was just being polite, so he stammered and couldn't say anything.

"That's what I said."

Lin Xuan bowed his hands in greeting and said, "I am Lin Xuan. I had some friendship with Daoist Guangcheng in the past. When I became an immortal, I was also guided by the Supreme Being. I am deeply grateful. Daoist Yunzhong is a senior disciple of the Chan Sect, so he is not an outsider."

"Hmm? It turns out that Fellow Daoist Lin actually knows the headmaster."

Yun Zhongzi was filled with awe and quickly returned the greeting: "The headmaster is so powerful that it is a great honor to receive even a little guidance from him. I really envy you, fellow Taoist."

Although Lin Xuan looked calm and composed, Yun Zhongzi couldn't tell the other party's cultivation level.

This means that the other party is at least a cultivator of the same level as himself.

When one reaches this level, one can be considered to have achieved success in the path to immortality, and one's every word and action will be bound up in the cause and effect of fate.

It is unlikely that someone would drag me into this out of thin air just to gain favor with me.

This is not the way to commit suicide...

"It is indeed a supreme opportunity."

Lin Xuan felt that the topic had strayed off track, so he took the initiative to return to the main topic: "Daoist Master Yunzhong is a senior of the Chan Sect, and has never been concerned with worldly affairs. I wonder why he has come here this time?"

"Hmm? I was out collecting herbs and passed by this place. Suddenly I saw a demonic aura rising into the sky, so I came here to kill the demon."

Yun Zhongzi glanced at the nine-tailed fox that was gnashing its teeth and said, "Fellow Daoist, since you have been favored by the headmaster, you must be a man of virtue. You won't associate with evil spirits, right?"

"The evil spirit is rising into the sky? Isn't the weather nice?"

Su Hu subconsciously raised his head and looked at the clear blue sky: "I brought my adopted daughter to Chaoge to fulfill my mission. When I passed by this place, I didn't see such a great monster. Could the Taoist be mistaken?"

"This demonic aura is rising into the sky, not because the demon has a high level of cultivation. Rather, this demon is about to occupy a high position and be intertwined with the fate of the Shang Dynasty, so it is showing strange signs to warn the world."

Yun Zhongzi said coldly: "Marquis Su is a loyal and righteous man. Don't let a single misstep lead to eternal regret and let that fox demon destroy the Shang Dynasty and become a laughing stock for the world."

"Ah? Not only can he deceive the tyrant Zishou, but he can also destroy the Shang Dynasty?"

Su Hu's eyes lit up: "Is this fox demon really so powerful?"

"..."

Yun Zhongzi felt that Su Hu's mind was a little abnormal, and frowned, "Does Fellow Daoist Lin also think so? Do you plan to protect this monster?"

"It's not a matter of protection, but this nine-tailed fox hasn't done anything evil, so it's a bit inappropriate to get rid of her."

Lin Xuan waved his hand: "Let her speak for herself."

"Okay! Thank you, Master Lin, for speaking for me!"

The nine-tailed fox had been feeling uncomfortable for a long time: "Humph! Yun Zhongzi, my Qingqiu clan has no grudges against you, why do you come to embarrass me?"

"As a demon, you don't want to practice cultivation, but instead want to disguise yourself as a human and hide in the Chaoge Palace."

Yun Zhongzi snorted coldly: "If it is not removed soon, it will be a big problem!"

"What's wrong with a demon? Which law stipulates that demons cannot enter the palace as concubines? It's too nosy for a dog to catch a mouse!"

The nine-tailed fox became angrier and angrier, and said angrily: "Besides, although I am a nine-tailed fox, you are not a human! If you like to subdue demons so much, why don't you kill yourself first?"

"you!"

Yun Zhongzi was somewhat at a loss for words, and frowned as he said, "Humans and demons have always been incompatible. As a demon, you sneaked into the palace and reversed yin and yang, which is naturally inappropriate."

"Where did the idea that humans and demons cannot coexist come from? Our clan's female concubine Jiao was once the beloved wife of the human emperor Yu, and she also gave birth to the founding emperor of the Xia Dynasty."

"Dayu knows the benefits of our nine-tailed fox, but you, a Taoist priest, have to meddle in other people's business!"

The nine-tailed fox put her hands on her waist and said, "It is because the world has changed now. If you were still in the previous dynasty, you would have to apologize for slandering the founding queen mother with such outrageous words!"

"..."

Yun Zhongzi had obviously never thought about this question before, and his momentum was somewhat frustrated: "So, is it right for you to bring disaster to the country and the people?"

"My dear, I entered the palace to be a concubine, not to be the emperor! If King Zhou were a wise emperor, my tricks would only add a little fun."

"If King Zhou is a ruthless and incompetent ruler, it is not my turn to bring disaster to the country and the people!"

The nine-tailed fox attacked with a heavy punch: "Only men like you who don't understand the situation would put all these inexplicable charges on women."

"That's unreasonable!"

Yun Zhongzi's face darkened and he said angrily, "You are a monster, and you still dare to make excuses when you are about to die!"

Before he finished speaking, Yun Zhongzi had already taken a step forward, emitting an unparalleled sharp aura.

As soon as a thought came to mind, invisible swords cut through the void and stabbed towards the nine-tailed fox rapidly like a storm.

"Ah? This... is so amazing!"

The nine-tailed fox turned pale and stumbled back: "Master Lin, save me!"

In Zhaowojing's memory, she was tortured half to death by the wooden sword that Yun Zhongzi presented to King Zhou.

In the end, he had to pretend to be pitiful and let King Zhou burn the wooden sword, so that he was able to survive.

But she had never met Yun Zhongzi in person, so she had no intuitive feeling about his strength, and she was not too afraid of him.

Now that Yun Zhongzi was angry, the nine-tailed fox suddenly felt as if its whole body was being cut into pieces by thousands of knives.

All kinds of terrifying illusions kept appearing in her mind, making her terrified.

The nine-tailed fox felt as if he had returned to his childhood, when he lived in fear under the hunter's search...

"You fox, you talk beautifully, but you can't even take one move from me. You are asking for trouble!"

Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves, and the universe in his sleeves seemed to be a bottomless pit, sucking the Man Tian Yi Sword into it: "Master, wait a minute!"

"What a hidden secret!"

Yun Zhongzi frowned slightly and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lin, are you planning to protect this fox demon and have a fight with me?"

"We should have had a fight, but it wasn't because of this little fox."

"Why?"

"At first I felt that the aura of the Taoist priest was somewhat familiar, and I was quite hesitant."

"But after the Taoist priest took action, my judgment was verified."

Lin Xuan stared at Yun Zhongzi and said, "Fortunately, the Taoist has not yet been possessed by the devil. He has not yet been completely controlled by the devil in his heart. There is still room for improvement."
