what? !

He Jianjiao's face was full of astonishment, with an expression of "what are you talking about?"

Seeing this, King Zhao couldn't help but say, "Painted Skin Pavilion has a history with Master Tangtang. The Palace Master let the disciples of Painted Skin Pavilion leave for the sake of that master. This is known to everyone. Is there another hidden story behind it?"

There is indeed a hidden secret, but this matter involves many of He Jianjiao's own secrets, so it is impossible for him to answer truthfully.

"That person relied on his high level of cultivation to act recklessly."

He said angrily, "It's rare for immortals to start fighting over a disagreement, but she was the one who released the relic before I could say a few words to her. Of course, I'm not afraid of her, but if two immortals fight, the people of Datong City will surely suffer countless casualties! How can I bear this? So, alas, in the end, I can only compromise and give in."

"..."

King Zhao looked at He Jianjiao in silence. It was indeed rare for immortals to fight each other, but who was the one who brazenly killed Qianmian a while ago?

How could you bear to see so many people killed and injured? I believed your lies!

"cough"

In the unspeakable silence, He Jianjiao coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly mention that person? But what trouble did she cause in Zhao State?"

.......

King Zhao handed Feng Shouze's memorial to He Jianjiao, and told him that he planned to appoint him as an envoy to negotiate with the master of the Sang Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"

Sending troops to rescue Sang Kingdom just for two ginsengs?

What if we lose many soldiers and generals, which damages the vitality of Zhao State in advance? How can I keep my dragon alive?

"Don't try to persuade me. I have made up my mind."

Looking at the distraught Immortal, King Zhao's heart moved, and he said tentatively: "But if the Palace Master can kill the Master and take the two precious ginsengs, then I won't have to go to great lengths to send out any troops."

This, I'm afraid that won't work.

Of course, it is not convenient to explain the reason.

Seeing that He Jianjiao remained silent, King Zhao said with some disappointment, "Could it be that the master's cultivation is far superior to Qianmian's, so he cannot be attacked and killed? If so, we can only negotiate properly."

"..."

With his mind racing, He Jianjiao finally made up his mind.

He took the job, but negotiation was impossible.

I'm just wasting time by not looking for Tangtang!

Anyway, the Sang State can’t hold out for much longer. If you wait until the Sang State is destroyed, we’ll see how you can send out troops.

This is a very risky matter. After all, it is impossible to keep it a secret from King Zhao forever. By then, the two sides might officially break up.

But compared with what he had pursued throughout his life, breaking with King Zhao was nothing.

"Your Majesty, I will put aside my grudges and negotiate properly with Master Tangtang."

"Leave this matter to me."

Chapter 283 Hundred Eyes Inheritance

Tangtang waited in the town for a few days, but no envoy from King Zhao came to see her.

She thought that the messenger might not come so soon, and that they would definitely be able to find her if they wanted to.

So I stopped waiting and took Xiaobai to continue my journey.

"Look, Xiaobai, there are so many people playing chess."

When passing through a city, Tangtang just walked around the street a few times and found that the chess atmosphere here was quite strong.

Chess tables can be found everywhere, and chess players can be found everywhere.

From the elderly to the youngest children, everyone seems to be obsessed with chess.

"Hello"

Going to a chess table, the little girl asked, "Who is the best chess player in this city?"

"Of course it's Mr. Wei. Many dignitaries come here to ask him for advice on chess."

"Yes, Mr. Wei's chess skills are the best in Zhao State!"

Zhao State is number one?

The little braid on Tangtang's head trembled, and she quickly asked the old gentleman if he would accept an apprentice.

The answer I got was that we don’t accept them now, but if we meet a truly talented young person, we might make an exception.

Xiaobai is certainly talented and young.

That is, I wonder if the old gentleman minds that the person who wants to become his disciple is not a human being.

After thanking everyone, Tangtang asked for directions and slowly found her way to Mr. Wei's home.

The old gentleman was a very famous person, so his life was naturally not poor.

The huge house occupied the best location in the city, and the door was bustling with servants coming in and out.

The little girl looked out the door for a while, and then someone came over and asked her what was the matter.

"Tangtang wants to visit Mr. Wei!"

The servant nodded and further inquired about the purpose of her visit.

"I heard that the old man is the best chess player in Zhao State. Tangtang wants to invite him to be Xiaobai's chess teacher."

......

"My master hasn't accepted any disciples for a long time."

In the end, the servant didn't let the little girl in, but Tangtang was not discouraged.

After she found an inn to stay in, she would hang around this place every day.

Hard work pays off. One day when Mr. Wei went out to visit a friend, he was intercepted by Tangtang.

"Hello there!"

The little girl explained her purpose to the old man, who immediately looked displeased.

"If your friend is sincere, why doesn't he come to me himself?"

"Of course Xiaobai is here too, look." As she spoke, Tangtang raised the relic in her hand high up.

Oh?

Mr. Wei did not continue to be angry. He felt that things were becoming interesting.

"Your friend has no hands and no head. How can it learn to play chess?"

"Haha, Xiaobai can actually transform, with both hands and head."

The old man immediately asked Xiaobai to transform for him, but Tangtang said it was not convenient in public and that he could only transform inside the house.

The old man was even more surprised to see that Shariputra actually jumped up and down to express his agreement.

He simply didn't bother visiting any friends and took the girl directly to his home.

The layout of the old man's house is very special. The front and back houses are separated by a pond.

The little girl walked across the bridge and as soon as she arrived at the back house, she felt that the surroundings had become very quiet.

"The servants only come to the backyard to clean the rooms when I'm not at home."

The old man said casually: "People who play chess love quietness. Being away from the secular world brings many inconveniences, so this is the only way."

Tangtang nodded. She looked around and asked the old man to prepare himself mentally, then she let Xiaobai reveal his true identity.

"..."

"Haha, I was wondering why he was so mysterious, turns out he's a skeleton spirit."

The old man pinched his beard and tried to remain calm: "It's a skeleton monster, what kind of monster are you?"

"Xiaobai is not a skeleton monster, and Tangtang is not a monster either."

Tangtang asked with a smile: "Mr. Wei, can you teach Xiaobai how to play chess? He is very smart and can learn anything quickly."

"If it really has talent, why don't I teach it? You don't think I'm scared, do you?"

After pinching off two of his whiskers, the old man laughed out loud with a weak breath.

Even though it looks scary, it's good as long as you are willing to teach Xiaobai how to play chess.

The little girl scratched her head and took out a big, round pearl from the package.

"Please accept the tuition fee!"

......

Xiaobai's talent far exceeded the old gentleman's imagination. He was also a chess fanatic, so he immediately stopped minding his disciple's non-human identity and began to teach him everything he knew.

The man and the demon stayed in the room all day long playing chess and having a lot of fun. However, the old man's wife, Zhang, was feeling worried.

Similar things have happened before. After the husband received a good disciple, he played chess with her in the room all day long, forgetting about eating and sleeping.

But this time the situation was a little different. To be specific, Zhang felt that the cloaked man was very, very suspicious!

He never revealed his true face, never spoke, and never ate the food I prepared for him.

'Too strange! '

"Could it be that the master is possessed by some dirty creature?"

With this worry in mind, she looked at her increasingly haggard husband (not eating or sleeping well), and felt more and more that there was something wrong with the man in the cloak.

What to do if you encounter strange things?

In Zhao State, the first reaction of most people was to ask the God of Detective for help.

However, Zhang did not do so because she had long believed in a mysterious and great existence.

The old woman hurriedly left home and headed straight for the headquarters of the clay figurine workshop in the city.

"Is the abbot here? I have something important to discuss with him!"

If we trace back to the origin of the inheritance of the Clay Figurine Workshop, we will find that it is closely related to the Hundred-eyed Bodhisattva.

This would be a great thing in Sang State, but very disastrous in Zhao State.

Even if it successfully passed the test of the previous king and eventually became the third force to stabilize the domestic situation, the restrictions faced by the Clay Figurine Workshop were far greater than those of the Prison God.

Although the Prison God cannot establish a religion, he can be worshipped openly by the Iron Prison God and jailers.

The clay Buddha in the clay figurine workshop can only develop believers secretly and is never allowed to see the light of day.

In addition, all believers developed by the Clay Figurine Workshop are registered.

Not only is the number limited, but high-quality believers cannot even be touched.

What is a high-quality believer?

Children of aristocratic families, court officials, domestic celebrities, etc.

Therefore, Zhang is definitely a very influential figure among all the believers of the Clay Buddha.

As for the wife of a celebrity, Nirenfang is playing a marginal ball.

.......

Upon learning that Zhang was coming, the abbot Wang Huan met her in person.

After hearing about the mysterious cloaked man, Wang Huan did not immediately offer a solution. Instead, he led the believer to the secret room and burned some incense to the clay Buddha.

After Zhang knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, showing her great piety, Wang Huan smiled and took out a small clay figurine and handed it to her.

"Put this clay figurine in Mr. Wei's room at night."

"If there is no damage, it means there is nothing evil in the room; if there is damage, come back to me as soon as possible!"
