I have just been promoted to Qianhu, and I was shocked to hear that this is a Liaozhai!

Chapter 129 Xia Hou (please order)
Hearing King Cao Sheng speak, Zuo Dao's whole body went numb.

He obviously underestimated this old martial artist's desire to pursue immortality.

For a moment, Zuo Dao didn't know how to respond.

What more can he say?
You can't say that after you refined the White Tiger Tao Seed, you refined the Azure Dragon Tao Seed to create a perfect Tao Foundation.

Then the purification and fusion began.

On the way back to Beijing, I also met a monk named Fudo Master, who casually gave me a little chance.

Just let the true energy and magic power in your body merge!

Such words...

Don't tell me, if you remove the first half, it seems to be somewhat credible.

Anyway, the Fudo master had disappeared long ago, and he couldn't find anyone as soon as he came out of the illusion.

He didn't believe that this martial artist could go out of Kyoto to find someone.

After making up my mind.

Zuo Dao then spoke: "To the Holy King, this matter happened to me when I returned to the capital after receiving the transfer order. It was so strange that I didn't know how to speak for a while."

King Cao Sheng looked at Zuo Dao in front of him with great interest, and said with a smile: "To tell the truth, I will have someone check it out."

Zuo Dao heard the words, took a deep breath, and then said: "When I was in Youzhou, the commander sent someone to help me bring a book of Nine Lumins, and I also gained magical power because of this method. "

King Cao Sheng glanced at Zuo Dao and said: "Little Thirteen still loves talents so much. This Nine-Yao Theory was obtained when I first broke through the gate of a cultivation mountain. It is their sect's treasure."

Zuo Dao coughed lightly and continued: "That's because Wei Chen is weak, so he wants to practice both martial arts and Dao."

"Then I received the order to go to the Shiwan Mountains to find the Qinglong Tao Seed."

"Although the Qinglong Tao Seed was eventually lost, Wei Chen managed to break through to the minor master level after narrowly escaping death."

"After returning to the Demon Suppression Division, I received an order to go to Kyoto."

"As a result, not long after I left Youzhou, I met a capable stranger named Master Fudo."

With that said, Zuo Dao recounted his experience in that temple in a detailed and detailed manner.

When King Cao Sheng heard this, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Then he murmured to himself: "Master Fudo, Peacock Dojo, could it be the ancient great masters Fudo Mingou and Peacock Mingou?"

He looked towards Zuodao with bright eyes and asked, "Do you still remember where that place is?"

Zuo Dao shook his head in embarrassment and said: "After I left that temple, I could never find my way back, as if Master Fudo and Peacock Dojo did not exist at all."

Hearing this, King Cao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had turned into the dying old man again.

He said in a desolate tone: "It seems that I, the king, have no chance with them."

The voice fell.

He looked at Zuo Dao in front of him and said, "The path you are taking now will be difficult in the future, but with your talent, there is still some hope."

"If you encounter any problems that cannot be solved in your practice, go find Xiao Shisan."

"If he can't solve it, he will come to the palace to find me."

After finishing speaking, he directly threw a token to Zuo Dao.

Zuo Dao looked flattered and said quickly: "Thank you, Holy King."

King Cao Sheng waved his hands slightly and said: "Go!"

The next moment, Zuo Dao was seen flying backwards. The door opened and he was placed next to Supervisor Zhao.

Wait until the door closes.

Another supervisor walked out of the secret door on one side of the room.

King Cao Sheng said: "Go look for that temple and see if you can find it. By the way, make sure that what this little guy said is true or false."

When the eunuch heard this, he quickly responded and then left respectfully.

King Cao Sheng looked at the table in front of him. A stick of incense slowly burned out. In the incense burner, a meat ball kept rolling in the ashes.

He murmured to himself: "This holy embryo has failed after all. It seems that we can only start with that centipede and this little guy."

……

outside the room.

Supervisor Zhao looked at the token in Zuo Dao's hand, with a look of surprise on his face, and said: "I didn't expect that the Holy King would value you so much that he even gave this thing to you."

Zuo Dao looked at the token in his hand and said, "Superintendent, what is this?"

Supervisor Zhao said: "The palace entry token is just a little different from other tokens. Other tokens can only allow you to enter the palace to meet the Holy King. This one allows you to come and look for the Holy King."

With that said, he led Zuo Dao towards the outside.

Zuo Dao looked down at the token in his hand, a look of uneasiness flashing deep in his eyes.

Speaking of which, this legendary martial arts immortal always gave him the sense of a beast that chose people to devour.

He couldn't see through this person's strength at all, but he could clearly feel the terror of this person.

Now, he couldn't even take a single move from the commander-in-chief and the big centipede.

But he could feel that even if the two of them joined forces, they wouldn't be able to catch this one's moves.

However, this person's longevity is about to end and he will no longer be at his peak.

Maybe there will be some discrepancies with my previous estimates.

soon.

The two of them arrived outside the courtyard.

Cao Xiang was still waiting respectfully on one side. After seeing Zuo Dao come out safely, he obviously breathed a long sigh of relief.

He stepped forward and saw the token in Zuo Dao's hand, with a look of surprise on his face.

Said: "The ancestors even gave you this thing."

Zuo Dao cupped his hands and said: "The Holy King said that if there is anything I don't understand in my practice, I can ask the commander of the capital. If the commander of the capital doesn't understand, I will go to the palace to find him."

Cao Xiang frowned slightly and said, "It seems that our ancestors value you very much."

Zuo Dao said quickly: "It is an honor to be humbled."

Cao Xiang glanced at Superintendent Zhao and said, "Since our ancestors have seen him, I will take him away now."

Supervisor Zhao smiled and said, "Thirteenth Master, walk slowly."

Cao Xiang saluted, and then led Zuo Dao towards the palace gate.

en route.

Cao Xiang asked about the current situation of the martial arts immortal.

After listening to Zuo Dao's description, a flash of worry flashed between his eyebrows, and he thought to himself: "The longevity of our ancestors is really coming to an end now."

Immediately, he asked Zuo Dao to tell him the whole thing.

After hearing this, he looked at Zuo Dao in surprise and said, "I didn't expect that you still have such luck. No wonder your strength has improved so quickly."

Zuo Dao smiled and said: "It's just a coincidence. I was lucky in my humble position and met a capable person." Cao Xiang thought for a moment and said: "Perhaps these two are the Fudo Mingwang and Peacock Mingwang who appeared in the records. , but they have already disappeared in the long river of history, why do they reappear in the world?"

He was a little worried. It seemed that this time of great conflict was not just theirs.

The two of them came outside the palace gate and happened to meet Pudu Cihang who was also walking out of the palace.

Pudu Cihang glanced at Zuo Dao, as if he felt something aura, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

Because he could clearly sense that the aura of that martial arts immortal remained on Zuo Dao's body.

When you reach the realm of the Little Grandmaster, you can directly control your breath without contaminating others, let alone the legendary martial arts immortal.

There is probably only one reason why he did this.

He wanted to protect the little guy.

Thinking of this, Pudu Cihang couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. It really made him a little sad that such a good body could not be contaminated before his eyes.

Cao Xiang said unceremoniously: "It seems that the Imperial Master had a very pleasant conversation with the imperial brother this time."

Pudu Cihang said with a smile: "The current Holy Master likes Buddhism. This is my Buddha's honor."

Cao Xiang grinned and said: "My second brother is not the only one who likes Buddhism in the palace. There is another one in the palace. I really want to see you go to the palace."

Pudu Cihang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "If there is a chance, the poor monk will go."

After saying that, he climbed directly onto his lotus platform and headed towards the Imperial Master's Mansion.

Cao Xiang glanced at Zuo Dao and said: "Even if the case of the missing officials in Kyoto is settled, then you will guard the security of Kyoto like everyone else."

"Especially those remnants who have entered Kyoto, you are responsible for guarding them and not letting them cause trouble."

When Zuo Dao heard this, he immediately raised his hands and said, "Yes, sir."

Cao Xiang nodded slightly, then rode away directly.

Zuo Dao also got on his horse and headed in the direction of Beizhen Fusi.

Just when he first entered the streets of Kyoto, he saw a familiar figure among the crowd.

There was a look of surprise on his face and he said, "Brother Xiahou?"

among the crowd.

The swordsman in white turned around and saw Zuo Dao on the horse, with a look of surprise on his face and said: "Brother Zuo, it's you!"

A flash of surprise also flashed across Zuo Dao's face. He originally thought it was just the backs that were somewhat similar.

Unexpectedly, this person was really Xia Hou.

He turned over and dismounted, led the horse forward, and said, "I didn't expect that I could meet Brother Xiahou in the capital."

Xiahou also had a smile on his face and said: "As soon as I said goodbye that day, I left the sad place in Youzhou. While healing my wounds, I practiced sword practice. On the way, I heard about the reform of the imperial examination in the Wei Dynasty, so I wanted to come and give it a try. We might meet some good opponents.”

When he was just starting out, he wanted to compete with God, and he wanted to win the first place in the world by relying on the long sword in his hand.

Unexpectedly, everyone he met was stronger than him.

Even those monsters can't be defeated by themselves, and they can't even break the monsters' defense.

After finishing dealing with Taoist Green Snake with Zuo Dao, he left with some of Taoist Green Snake's flesh and blood.

While healing his wounds, he practiced sword practice.

Now that his injuries have healed, his swordsmanship has improved a lot, and he has even reached the threshold of being a little master.

Later, I heard that the imperial examination reform in Kyoto would not only test the Four Books and Five Classics.

He even took exams in martial arts and magic.

By then, almost half of the warriors and capable people in the Wei Dynasty will probably want to give it a try.

Naturally, he also wanted to give it a try to see if he could find a satisfactory opponent.

But I didn't expect that I could meet old acquaintances in Kyoto.

Hearing this, Zuo Dao smiled and said, "Then I will help Brother Xiahou's wishes come true."

Xia Hou said: "But hasn't Brother Zuo been working in Youzhou? I heard that you were promoted, so why did you come to Kyoto?"

Zuo Dao said: "I had some merit in Shiwanda Mountain, so I was transferred to Beijing."

As he spoke, he took out a roasted snake jerky and handed it over.

Xia Hou took it and tasted it. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Is this also the flesh and blood of the Green Snake Taoist? I didn't expect it to contain such blood."

Zuo Dao also took out a piece of dried meat and ate it, saying: "By chance, I got a treasure that can be preserved for a long time."

Xiahou cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zuo, this is really a good opportunity."

Zuo Dao asked: "Brother Xiahou has been in Kyoto for a few days. Have you found a place to stay?"

Xia Hou smiled and said: "I have been in Kyoto for a few days. I have been staying at an inn in the city and have been waiting for the martial arts test for a few days."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao smiled and said: "If Xiahou wants to serve the Wei Dynasty, there is no need to take the martial arts exam, just come to me directly."

Speaking of which, he wanted to draw Xiahou into his sect.

After all, Xiahou's strength is already innate at such an age, and now that he is seen again, he has already approached the realm of a young master.

His talent is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Taking him under his wing can also give him some help.

Who could let this great Wei bring him no sense of security, especially this time when he returned to Kyoto, met Pudu Cihang, and met the martial arts immortal whose longevity was about to end.

This feeling of uneasiness became more and more intense.

If you have more available people at your disposal, you can give yourself a little buffer space when things happen.

Xia Hou shook his head and said: "I came to take part in the martial arts test. The most important thing is to find a satisfactory opponent. If I really want to enter the public sect afterwards, it will not be too late to trouble Brother Zuo."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao said, "Then it's settled. If Brother Xiahou wants to enter the palace, he will come to find me."

The two of them walked and chatted for a while, asked each other where they lived, and then left.

After all, Zuo Dao had to go back to Beizhen Fusizhong to hand over some matters to people, so he just agreed to have a drink in the evening.

Just as Zuo Dao was heading in the direction of Beizhen Fusi.

On the road ahead, I saw a tall man holding a child of about eight or nine years old in his hands.

He said to the onlookers: "I didn't expect that there are such little thieves in Kyoto. As you can see, this little thieves failed in begging and wanted to rob him, so I took action. The people from the government office will come later. You need to help me prove my identity."

In his hands, the child who was hung upside down by his ankles shouted loudly: "That's the life-saving money my mother got in exchange for her hairpin. It's mine. I didn't steal your money."

The strong man grinned and said, "You bitch, you still dare to be so harsh."

As he spoke, he waved the child in his hand and threw it towards the ground.

If it had been hit hard this time, with the child's body and bones, he would have died on the spot.

Zuo Dao frowned slightly and took out the long whip from his waist and swung it away.

The long whip directly knocked off a piece of flesh on the strong man's face, and then rolled up the child who was thrown out.

Zuo Dao took the child, dismounted and walked forward, saying with a gloomy face: "A martial artist, you are so angry at killing a defenseless child at the feet of the Emperor."
