Taoist temple that will cross

Chapter 688
As thin as a cicada's wings, like a large array of jade bowls turned upside down, it completely enveloped the inner city of Chaoge, the place where dignitaries and dignitaries gather.

And the outside world, completely two worlds, the aura is so rich that it can almost turn into water.

Living here for a long time, even a pig can become a sperm, and it is the kind that grows very well.

In the northwest corner of the inner city, in a courtyard that can only be of medium size, in an unpretentious pavilion.

Wen Zhong, who was dressed in sackcloth and had a wooden hairpin on his head, sat kneeling behind a table with a gloomy expression.

The new king came to the throne, and he jumped from the commander-in-chief of the great merchants to the grand master in charge of internal affairs and military affairs.

The disciples of various religions who linger in the secular world are theoretically also within his jurisdiction.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the power dominates the world, even someone like the Twelve Golden Immortals should be afraid of him.

But his mood has become more and more serious recently. As the guardian of the great business, his personal luck is connected with the luck of the dynasty. Recently, he clearly feels that the luck of the Shang dynasty is rapidly declining.

He couldn't figure out why this happened suddenly when he had been doing well before. Before he left Chaoge, he went to see his master, the Holy Mother of Jinling, to seek answers, but in the end he returned without success.

"No matter what, first recruit enough comrades to prepare for emergencies."

he secretly said.

Soon, his face became gloomy again.

On the one hand, although there are many monks in the world, those who are capable either pursue freedom and put their affection on the mountains and rivers, or they already belong to a sect.

The difficulty of recruiting is not so great.

On the other hand, the war between Da Shang and the princes of the North Sea is still going on, so he can't stay too long in Chaoge.

A few months passed in a blink of an eye.

Wen Zhong came back from Beihai, this time his face was even more gloomy.

During this period of time, he has indeed recruited a lot of talents, but unfortunately most of them are Xuanxian and below, and there is no Jinxian.

In this world where golden fairies walk everywhere, there is nothing.

Sighing, Wen Zhong got up and left the house, took a few breaths, and came to the palace.

But he was told that the king went hunting outside the city.

…………

In a mountain range [-] miles south of Chaoge City, Cao Yi sat beside a stone table with a chessboard on it.

Cao Yi no longer had the calmness of the past. During this period of time, he devoted himself to the cultivation of the law of time and entered the long river of time many times. Due to insufficient cultivation, he almost fell into the infinite loop of time. Although he finally came back Yes, but also paid a big price, the source was slightly damaged.

On the opposite side of the stone table, the nine-headed bird with gray hair and wrinkled skin, clenched its teeth tightly, and blushed flushed.

She is also practicing the law of time.

Her cultivation base was worse, and she paid a much higher price than Cao Yi.

Cao Yi put his hand on the head of the nine-headed bird.

Nine-headed bird's white hair turned black little by little, and its skin gradually became rosy and firm.

This is not healing, this is turning back the clock.

Cao Yi shook his body for a while, and his expression was a little bad.

"Master, are you alright?"

Nine-headed Bird asked with concern.

"I'm fine, you go down"

Cao Yi shook his head and said.

The nine-headed bird cupped its hands and retreated.

Cao Yi felt extremely sleepy for a while, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

A few hundred miles away, the Lord of the Great Merchants, Zishou, known as King Zhou by later generations, was riding a vigorous dragon horse, and under the protection of dozens of guards, he was chasing his prey.

"Where did the nine-tailed fox go?"

Zishou reined in the horse and looked around.

Nine-tailed fox is the king of the fox family, born with charm.

Zishou had been hoping to get one.

The guards tentatively attacked hundreds of miles around, forcing out many spirit beasts, but none of them were nine-tailed foxes.

Zishou's divine thoughts were released, searching back and forth, and suddenly caught a familiar mental wave.

Immediately he rode his horse and chased after him.

The guards quickly caught up.

Soon, Zishou and his party came to a place less than two hundred miles away from Cao Yi.

Once again lost track of the nine-tailed fox.

"Your Majesty, it seems wrong"

An elderly guard's face changed slightly.

"what happened?"

Zishou said in astonishment.

The elder guard closed his eyes and felt for a while, the expression on his face turned blank, "Did I make a mistake?"

"A fuss"

Zishou rode out again.

A petite red shadow was soon spotted.

"Nine Tailed Fox"

The son is overjoyed.

Immediately afterwards, something that surprised him happened, the nine-tailed fox's red hair like flames turned white, and fell heavily to the ground.

"My lord, get out of here quickly"

The older guard yelled.

Zi Shou turned his head and saw that dozens of guards had all become very old, their skin wrinkled like old tree bark.

There was a plop, and the guards all fell down.

"This"

Zishou's face became ugly.

At this moment, the dragon horse under him wailed and also fell down.

Zishou was thrown out.

Landed by a small lake.

His face froze immediately.

In the lake, he is full of white hair, and he is older than his father who was sitting in the bed.

"How could this be?"

He got up in horror, and ran towards Chaoge without his life.

After running no more than two miles, he fell to the ground again.

He checked his body and found that the aura in his body had dried up.

"Who is plotting against me, get out"

He raised his head and said angrily.

No one responded, and the world was silent.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, when Zishou was extremely anxious, something happened.

His body regained its youth little by little, and the dried up aura returned.

Without any hesitation, Zi Shou desperately ran towards Chaoge.

"The King"

"The King"

……

Dozens of guards who recovered at the same time chased after him.

There are still ten miles away from Chaoge.

Wen Zhong, who was riding a black unicorn, appeared in mid-air. Seeing Zishou and his party in a panic, he asked in surprise, "Why is my king in such a panic?"

"Master"

Zishou heaved a sigh of relief.

Tell me about the weird thing you just encountered.

"There is such a thing"

Wen Zhong frowned.

"Gather the people, I want to see who is so bold and dare to play tricks on the widow"

Zi Shou said angrily.

As the master of great merchants, the most honorable person in the world, when did he receive such treatment.

"My king will return to the palace first, and this matter will be handed over to the old minister."

Wen Zhong said with a sullen face.

Zishou wanted to say something, met Wen Zhong's stern old face, and swallowed it back, "Okay, I will leave this matter to the Grand Master."

"The old minister will escort the king back to the palace first"

Wen Zhong was still worried, and escorted Zishou all the way back to the palace, gathered people and came to the place where the accident happened.

He, who has always been cautious, did not launch a large-scale operation immediately.

After observing for a while, he sent a Xuanxian monk to investigate.

Encountered the same thing as Zishou.

Beside the stone table, the sleeping Cao Yi moved slightly.

The law of time on a larger scale has changed.

Wen Zhong, who was about to leave, and his subordinates all turned gray in an instant.

fell to the ground.

But soon, it returned to normal.

The startled Wen Zhong immediately ordered to retreat.
