Chapter 684: Going to a meeting alone and following the rules(1/2)
"Again?"
There was a commotion in the tent, and whispers could be heard.
There are nearly twenty Jindan-stage monks from Jiuyao Peak gathered here. They are all prominent leaders of each peak, but they are all frowning at this moment.
"The Immortal Castle and the Wild Bear Gang have recently unified and consolidated their peripheral areas. They each occupy three states and ten mansions. Instead of attacking each other first, they joined forces to attack Jiuyao Peak. How did they achieve reconciliation?"
"It's really strange. The two families have been fighting each other for several years, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. They have already formed a deep hatred. We have been sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers for so long. How can we say that they will form an alliance?"
"According to insider reports, Zhu Duiyou, a military advisor in Yongxian Castle, had a sharp tongue. He rushed to the enemy's camp alone. He was surrounded by powerful enemies, chatting and laughing, and persuaded the leader of the Wild Bear Gang and his subordinates.
Thus leading to an alliance!”
"Does the Wudao Sect behind the Wild Bear Gang agree?"
"It is said that the true disciples of Wu Dao Sect were also impressed by his eloquence, so they decided to target us unanimously."
"What, this happened?"
"Zhu Duiyou is so scary!"
"This man is so brave!"
...
Everyone was surprised and shouted that it was outrageous.
But at this moment, another spy came to report from outside.
"Report! Zhu Duiyou, the military advisor of Yongxian Fort, is here to visit and asks for an audience."
The whole place was in an uproar.
Talking about Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, he learned from his past mistakes and everyone was filled with doubts and fears.
There are monks in the golden elixir stage who keep calling out and refuse to see each other.
"Zhu Duiyou has outstanding eloquence and is a very evil person. You must not let him in!"
"Yes, if one of you fellow Taoists cannot control himself and is bewitched and provoked by him, I'm afraid there will be gaps!"
"I think it's better not to see each other. We have finally united Jiu Yao now. If we are broken down by him, we will be defeated individually."
"Yes, yes!"
...
Some people were so frightened that they didn’t even see anyone!
"Huh, what a joke!"
Of course, some people don't believe this evil and think the rumors are too alarmist.
"You don't know. This is clearly a way of building momentum for the Immortal Castle to deify Zhu Duiyou. I just don't believe that he can divide us with just a few words!"
The person speaking was Master Linli of Yueyao Peak. This person was in the late Jindan stage and was quite prestigious in the surrounding Jiuyao.
"What fellow Taoist Linli said is true. I have only heard of people who are timid before fighting. I have never heard of people who dare not see the messenger. He is just one person. What is there to be afraid of? Could it be a savage beast?"
The person who agreed was Taoist Cangxuan, the master of Riyao Peak, who was also a great master in the late Jindan period and had a great reputation in the surrounding area!
Having these two late-stage golden elixir overlords taking the lead immediately gave the people around them confidence. Everyone stood up to report the case, clamoring to meet and see what flowers the messenger could tell!
"No! Never!"
The opponent is the Nightmare Old Man from Luohu Peak. This person is also in the late stage of Jindan. He is very famous in the Jiuyao area. When he was young, his hands were stained with blood. When he got older, he slowly kept a low profile and bided his time.
He always wanted stability. He felt that if the opponent attacked Jiuyao Peak, it would be fine if we united and defended. There was no need to talk to them about anything, as it would be bad if something unexpected happened.
There are many people who agree with this point of view. They all don't want to cause trouble and just want to hold on to one-third of an acre of land.
The masters of Sun Yao Peak and Yueyao Peak mocked others as they grew timid as they got older, and sneered at their concerns.
In the end, the minority obeys the majority.
"Let him in!"
...
"Tap, step, step,"
The sound of footsteps came from outside the tent, neither fast nor slow, neither urgent nor slow. Every step was like stepping heavily on everyone's heart.
Lifting the curtain, a young man walked in with his head held high.
"The right military master of the Immortal Castle offers wine to you Zhu Dui, and has met fellow Taoists from all the peaks of Jiuyao Peak!"
Just by the sonorous and powerful voice, you can tell that the person coming is extremely confident and must have a trough in his chest.
Everyone in Jiuyao Peak exchanged greetings with each other and then invited him to take a seat.
The master of Yueyao Peak orders people to serve tea, and the etiquette must not be neglected.
"Haha, you're welcome."
Zhu Duiyou cupped his hands and thanked him, with a very Confucian etiquette and demeanor, just like a real Confucian disciple, and he didn't look like he was pretending.
He took a few sips and nodded in praise.
"Good tea, with a long-lasting fragrance and a long sweet aftertaste. It can be regarded as a spiritual treasure. May I ask where it comes from?"
"Red Mountain Clouds and Mist, Duantou Cliff in Southwest Chu!"
The master of Ri Yao Peak answered his question casually.
"If Commander Zhu likes it, I can send you to experience it another day!"
He didn't explicitly mention what he was experiencing, but Duotou Cliff was extremely steep and dangerous, as if his head had been cut off directly. The leader of Riyao Peak took Zhu Duiyou there with obvious bad intentions, and even secretly threatened him.
If what you say is not in tune, you might really get your head cut off!
Zhu Duiyou's hand holding the tea trembled slightly, but the tea was not poured out at all, but he smiled and thanked her.
"No need. When the troops from the Immortal Castle arrive one day and I land in Jiuyao again, there will be someone who has traveled thousands of miles to pick tea for me. Why do I need to do it myself?"
He was hinting that next time he comes here, he will no longer be a guest, but may become a host, and some of the people in front of him will also become his followers.
The master of Yueyao Peak didn't want to discuss this with him any more, but went straight to the point.
"Master Zhu came here this time, why don't you know?"
Zhu Duiyou stood up with a smile and came to the middle of the desk. The first thing he said when he came up was "explode!"
"I'm here to save you all. You are all on the verge of death and don't know it. Even though I'm a hundred miles away, I can still smell the strong smell of decay, so I came here all the way!"
There were many knowledgeable and experienced experts present. They had developed antibodies to his words and could not help but sneer back.
"But we are living well now. Come and tell us what we will say when death is imminent."
Zhu Duiyou turned around and faced this person.
"Brother Taoist, do you know that on top of everyone's head, there is a reflection of their own luck?"
"I don't know."
"That's right. I have an exclusive secret technique that allows you to observe the luck above your head and understand your ups and downs, prosperity and decline in this life."
"What? Is it a breath-taking technique?"
"Of course."
Zhu Duiyou nodded affirmatively, and then quoted from other sources and referenced scriptures to answer everyone's questions one by one.
I selected several representative concepts of luck among monks and explained their current luck to them.
When the results were told, it was indeed very different. They were told that people couldn't believe it. How could anyone guess everything about their childhood growth correctly?
This is too evil!
"Everyone, you must know that I, under the command of Immortal Castle, have as many masters as clouds and fierce generals as rain. In just a few years, I have conquered the southwestern part of Chu and become a giant with three states and ten prefectures!"
"As for the Wild Bear Gang, they are backed by the Wu Dao Sect. They also have a lot of talents and a large army. They are about the same size as us, and they are fighting against each other!"
"Now that the two families have joined forces to attack your home base, how confident are you that you can withstand it?"
"Those who need to know the current affairs are heroes. It is not a pity to resist and die in the corner. If you are right, you cannot go against the will of God. If you go against the grain, you will get retribution."
"As long as you join our Immortal Castle, we will become bigger and stronger together. Follow us to eat meat and you come to drink soup!"
"Otherwise, I see that you are all suffering from bad luck. I'm afraid you are too angry and need to be cleansed."
...
"Humph, that's nonsense!"
The master of Riyao Peak looked around and smiled proudly.
"Even if you and the Wild Bear Gang join forces, they are no more than our Jiuyao Peak combined!"
"The provocations of the past few days have not been resolved by us one by one, and we cannot take an inch further!"
"I thought you had some ability or eloquence, but it seems like nothing more than that."
"According to my expectation, you must be stuck in front of us and it is difficult to break the deadlock, so I have to entrust you to come and lobby."
