Raising the Demon

Chapter 223
When he came out of Yuntian Pavilion, the sun was already setting. Today, Zi Baifeng didn't do anything and spent all his time in Yuntian Pavilion.

However, he is by no means without gains, and it can even be said that he has gained a lot.

After staying in Xijing for so long, he never said many things even to the Fujun, but he said them all in front of these like-minded peers.

However, when he said that his ultimate goal was the Desert of Death, everyone fell silent.

"Difficult, too difficult." Qi Hanshan shook his head. For thousands of years, the desert of death has been the worry of those big shots in Xijing. It is a time bomb, and it might explode at any time.Even if Zi Baifeng's goal is to control the desert of death, it is impossible for these people to feel at ease.

What if Zi Baifeng went and the time bomb suddenly turned into a grenade and was about to explode?

It is not an exaggeration to describe Zhuaner Kingdom as a tiger, or to say that there are too many people who don't see Zhuaner Kingdom rightly. The relationship between Zhuaner Kingdom and the Kingdom of Heaven is delicate and sensitive. For a long time, the kingdoms of the Celestial Dynasty have been trying to weaken Zhuan'er's power, and it has never stopped.

If the entire Zhuaner Kingdom was swallowed by the desert of death, maybe the Heavenly Court would be happier.

"Over the years, no fiefdom has ever been sealed near the Death Desert. Almost all the officials serving outside the Death Desert are royal cronies and direct descendants of major families. Even kings with foreign surnames cannot get their hands on it."

"A foreign surname?" Zi Baifeng was a little puzzled, "Which foreign surname is Wang?"

"Who are other kings with foreign surnames who are still eligible for new fiefdoms? Of course it is the bull king. This marshal made a military achievement a hundred years ago. The bull king said that he wants a fief near the desert of death to enjoy the scenery of the desert. , was rejected by His Majesty, and even reprimanded him."

Zi Baifeng has heard of the Bull King many times recently. When the Lord Fujun introduced him to the forces in Xijing, he mentioned him many times.This bull king is the most powerful one among kings with foreign surnames. It is said that he is over [-] years old and has been standing still.Whenever there was any war in the Zhuaner Kingdom, it was the bull king who led his troops to go there, and the military exploits he made were already considered to be overwhelming.

But this bull king has no achievements, and his power has been weakened. In fact, there is a reason. This bull king is famous for being brave and unparalleled. , has been obeying now, saved Zhuan several times and the country is in danger, if he wanted to rebel, he would have already rebelled.

In the entire Zhuaner Kingdom, there are only a few ministers who supervise the country who can stand against him, but this bull king is famous for his hospitality when he is not on the battlefield. When he was young, he followed his father to visit Man Niu Wang's mansion, but sneaked into Man Niu Wang's wine cellar and ruined his good wine.At that time, his father was startled and angry, and said that he would teach him a lesson, but who would have thought that the Bull King would be very magnanimous, whenever he had good wine in the future, he would invite He Xu to lie down, and he was regarded as a year-end friend.The old glutton of He Xuwo was trained by the big-bellied Man Bull King.

Fully aware of the difficulty of his task, Zi Baifeng was also a little shaken, but when the cold wind blew after he came out, Zi Baifeng's heart gradually became firmer.

Armed with the two sharp weapons of cultivating demons and ceramic tiles, he must be able to do what ordinary people can't, think what ordinary people don't want to, and never shrink back after hearing what others say. That's not his style.

Zi Baifeng carried a basket with a jar of wine in it, which was exactly the jar that Jin Taiyu sent as a stepping stone.

After eating Zi Baifeng's sweet-scented osmanthus cake, everyone chatted very speculatively again, and when there were only leftovers left, they remembered that there was still a jar of good wine left.

"I ate brother Zi's sweet-scented osmanthus cake today, so don't drink this jar of wine. Why don't you take it back with brother Zi?" It's best to go to the mansion of the Manniu King to find out. The Lord Manniu King, the more he can't do things, the more he wants to do them. Over the years, he has thought of many ways. Brother Zi and Lord Manniu King It will definitely be beneficial to communicate with each other. This altar of wine is used as a stepping stone, and Lord Bull King is willing to see you anytime."

Everyone also nodded. They have all drank a lot of good wine, and none of them are short of a few jars of wine.No matter how good the wine is, it's just a common thing, how can it compare to the Moon Palace Osmanthus, the value between them can be calculated without calculation.

Zi Baifeng didn't refuse. Compared with his few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, this wine is really nothing.

Just as Zi Baifeng walked out of the room with a basket in his hand, he heard someone chasing him from behind, and before he got close, he had already shouted: "My lord, my lord!"

……

Jin Taiyu walked down the stairs a little depressed. He waited for an hour outside the Yuntian Pavilion, but he didn't see the people upstairs calling him up, so he had to retreat sullenly, ordered a table of wine and food, and ate it by himself. Hai drank a bit, and then walked down drunk.

Just as he walked to the door, he saw a young man in Taoist robe rushing in, Jin Taiyu stared at him with wide-eyed eyes, and suddenly he showed joy in white, and said, "Master Zeng!"

The person known as Zeng Xianshi turned his head in a daze, and then saw Jin Taiyu.

"Master Immortal!" Jin Taiyu hastily took two steps forward to meet him, as enthusiastic as if he saw his own father.

This man is a monk from Yancheng, who used to be their enshrinement and helped them solve many troubles, but some time ago, the monk said that he wanted to go out for a while, but who would have thought that he would come to Xijing.

Jin Taiyu has seen these monks show their abilities with his own eyes. For ordinary people like Jin Taiyu, as a monk, he is already a high-ranking figure. It is delicious and delicious.

When the monk left Yancheng, the father and son hosted a special banquet for him and gave them money, which was regarded as a good relationship.

Who would have thought that they would meet this person again in Xijing.

"Don't call me Immortal Master." The monk looked around unnaturally, and said, "Just call me by my name, Zeng Xian."

Just two words of immortal master have already attracted the attention of several people. Without exception, these people are all monks, and they seem to have good cultivation. Judging from where they are sitting, they should be the servants of some dignitary and noble person. Well, the cultivation base of these people is probably not weaker than Zeng Xian.

In a small place like Yancheng, he can naturally walk sideways and do whatever he wants, but in a place like Xijing, he is afraid that his tail will not be clamped tightly and it will be exposed.

Jin Taiyu didn't know it, he only thought that Zeng Xian asked him to call him that because of kindness, and said repeatedly: "How dare you, it's too offensive."

"I want you to call me!" The people looking around showed playful expressions, Zeng Xian's face was flushed, and his face was serious.

"Okay, then...Master Zeng Xian, are you here for dinner at Bishuilou? Come, come, let's go in the private room over here...

"Let's just stay here, I'll wait for someone." Zeng Xian looked around and found a place near the stairs to sit down. The nearby monk looked a little more friendly, and it seemed that he was also a follower of a certain adult, coming to pick him up of.

"How can I do it here? It's a place where servants sit..." As soon as Jin Taiyu opened his mouth, Zeng Xian scolded angrily: "I said it's here!"

Jin Taiyu sneered and said: "Then here, Xiaoer, good wine and good food will be served!"

It is not without ideas that Jin Taiyu is so attentive. He is alone in Xijing now, and he always feels that there is no one to support him, and he cannot straighten his waist.If the colleagues around me knew that they had a monk as an enshrinement, they wouldn't be scared to death...

So he entertained attentively, showing the intention of soliciting in his mouth.

Zeng Xian hesitated a little, he came here to wait for someone to come.As a monk who traveled around the world, he experienced all kinds of hardships that monks from many sects and academic schools could not understand.Thinking about it carefully, the days in Yancheng were almost the most stable and affluent life he had ever lived in his life.Sometimes, he even thought about whether he would end up in Yancheng, but his heart for the Tao would not die after all. He still came to Xijing, hoping to have a broader space for development.

Who would have thought that after coming to Xijing, they would run into obstacles everywhere. The idle monks here need a temporary residence permit, live in a designated place, pay spiritual energy tax for cultivation, and strictly limit the scope of activities. They all laugh at themselves that they are not casual cultivators. , is drift repair.

Especially the inspector who just arrived from the Prison Department recently, with a vicious and murderous look, several drifters who used to evade taxes in various ways before were caught one by one, and the spiritual energy tax was forcibly collected. After leaving Xijing, Zeng Xiandong finally managed to collect his aura tax for this month. When he left Yancheng, the jade gifted by Jin Taiyu and his son was exhausted.

Seeing that not to mention the need for cultivation, even the aura tax next month would be a problem, Zeng Xian was even more eager to find a place to stay.When he first came to Xijing, his goal was to enter the system; then he became a member of the Zhongshan School and became a technician; Just keep yourself.

But Xijing came here chasing his dream like him, and the drifting here and there is unknown. The competition is fierce, and it can even be said to be cruel. Fortunately, he is well-informed. A big man, maybe there is a chance, he went to inquire, but was told that the man was in Haitian Pavilion.

Here it is.

Just when Zeng Xian was about to be moved by Jin Taiyu, he suddenly saw a man walking down the stairs carrying a basket, humming a little song and walking towards the door.

Zeng Xian quickly stood up and ran after him: "My lord, my lord!"

Jin Taiyu stood up in a daze, stretched out a hand and wanted to say something, but couldn't say it.

He only heard a few people beside him whispering: "I thought it was a colleague, but it turned out to be a drifter."

"Well, it's pretty."

"You servants know nothing!" Jin Taiyu turned his head and cursed angrily, then turned and chased after him.

　Yesterday's second update, I overslept yesterday, tears in my eyes...
