The eldest princess sat on the treetop, looking at Xu Tong up and down with a smile.
"Hey, it's for you!"
Xu Tong casually threw a bottle to the eldest princess. It was a +9 enlightenment pill. There were only five pills. After all, the probability of success of this thing was actually not high.
There is a 1 in 10 chance that Xu Tong used money to do it.
Before, I just tried to coax old man Zhang. If the loss caused by the failed refining was included, the cost of this elixir would be far more than that.
This thing is useful to me, and it will definitely be helpful to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess took the elixir, glanced at it, and knew that the elixir was a good thing, so she took it without any courtesy.
"You should still keep calm. Your master thought you should have come yesterday."
Xu Tong raised his head and said with a smile: "What's the point of being so angry? My own master, master, and father-in-law can only do this, how can they still harm me?"
This is by no means a courtesy from Xu Tong. From the moment Old Song left the old house to him, Old Song was his relative, closer than blood relatives, not to mention his master, who also taught him everything.
If you say you don't kiss her, it would be a lie.
"Okay, I know you share the same love as father and son!"
The eldest princess covered her mouth and smiled softly, but then she thought of something. She looked at the bottle in her hand, and after a moment of silence she said, "By the way, I'm leaving."
"ah??"
Xu Tong was stunned and looked at the eldest princess: "Where are you going?"
"Leave, you are now in the Dao-Slaying Realm, a land god. According to the agreement between me and your master, when you reach the Dao-Slaying Realm, you will give me your freedom."
The eldest princess stretched out her palm and saw a diamond-shaped chip in her palm. It was the part of the soul that Xue Gui had extracted from the eldest princess's soul.
Now that this soul appears in the hands of the eldest princess, it means that she is free and no longer controlled by her master.
The sudden change caught Xu Tong off guard: "Do we have to leave?"
"In the past, our presence could boost your luck, but now that you are in the Dao-killing realm, our presence will only weaken your luck, and..." At this point, the eldest princess sighed: "And it will also destroy us.
opportunity."
"us……"
Hearing these two words, Xu Tong frowned: "The old Taoist also wants to leave?"
"There is always a banquet in the world. When the time comes, he will naturally have to leave."
Hearing the words of the eldest princess, Xu Tong suddenly felt a sense of disappointment in his heart, but he also understood in his heart that the eldest princess was not the kind of woman who was willing to stay here like a bird in a cage or a canary. Now that she had decided to leave, he was bound to stay.
Bu Zhu: "When will you leave?"
"I will leave when the time is right. I'll say hello to you in advance to avoid adding sadness when we part."
"Rare!"
Xu Tong waved his hand: "I'm going to see Master first."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and walked back. When he reached the door, he saw the old man squatting on the threshold, looking at him with a smile.
"The young master is back!"
When Xu Tong saw Lao Dao, he opened his mouth and held back what he wanted to say. He just said: "Your body..."
"No hurry, no hurry. I want to leave, but I have to go to the sun world. My body can't come back for the time being. The young master has kept it for me. When I come back, I still have to use that stinky skin."
The old Taoist was free and easy. Xu Tong nodded and handed him the prepared Enlightenment Pill.
The old Taoist couldn't help but his eyes lit up after taking the elixir: "What a good thing. It just so happens that the poor Taoist also has something for the young master."
The old man took out a pack of tobacco from his sleeve and handed it to him.
"Last time I saw that you were almost out of tobacco. I specially saved this for you. Save some of it."
Xu Tong looked at the tobacco, nodded, put the tobacco away, and then walked through the door.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw Mr. Mei, Master, and Master sitting in the pavilion drinking tea. When they saw Xu Tong coming, the three of them looked at each other and started laughing loudly.
"You see, when you say that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here, you really can't talk behind someone's back."
The three of them laughed together, but Xu Tong couldn't be happy anymore. He stepped forward and greeted the three of them politely: "Greetings to Master, Master, and Mr. Mei."
"Sit down, sit down, let me take a good look, the land gods were very rare even in the Sui and Tang Dynasties."
Mr. Song quickly took Xu Tong and sat down, looking up and down Xu Tong's body, his face was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
No wonder Song Laojin was so happy to see Xu Tong. The land fairy, this is a true fairy. Just because he had a land fairy from his own family, Song Lao's tail almost stood up.
Xue Gui on the side couldn't stand Mr. Song's arrogance, and rolled his eyes at the old boy: "I taught you Shankou, and Yanshu was taught by Mr. Mei. You just took advantage of it, see what you can do."
"
"Hey, if I didn't take advantage of you, how could I have gotten such a good disciple like you?"
Not only was Mr. Song not ashamed, but he was proud of it. Xue Gui didn't know what to say for a moment.
When Mr. Mei heard this, he pinched his beard and smiled and said, "This is fate. Everything has fate. This is fate."
"Who would have thought that the seven gates would go around in a circle for the last time, and they would not recognize their ancestors and return to their clan, but would end up on Mei Lao's branch."
Xue Gui also sighed for a moment.
"Hahahaha, this is also the blessing that you, Mr. Xue, took Heaven's heart as your own heart and risked your life to fight for it."
Seeing that the three old men at home were starting a new round of business disputes, Xu Tong could only cough twice and looked at the master: "Master, the old Taoist and the princess want to leave?"
Hearing Xu Tong's inquiry, Xue Gui nodded: "We have already made an agreement with them, and each has his or her own destiny."
As soon as the master said this, Xu Tong simply stopped asking.
After taking out all the snacks and sauced pork he had bought, Mr. Song raised his nose and immediately grinned and gritted his teeth: "Hey, the sauced pork from the Song family in Qiaotou, you are a good boy, master, I love you."
Mr. Song hadn't eaten his favorite sauced pork for a long time. He immediately became greedy when he saw the sauced pork. It seemed that he liked eating this restaurant's sauced pork more than Chilong and Fu Dou.
Xu Tong conveniently brought out the wine. After all, the Mei family had so much aged wine that they could just leave it alone if they weren't going to drink it.
Just wait for the glass to be changed, and the wine has passed three rounds.
Xu Tongcai asked about this trip to the underworld: "Master, why exactly? Even if I am a little pawn, I always have to die knowingly."
Xue Gui put down his wine glass, considered his words, and then asked, "What do you think?"
"Nothing to think about."
Xu Tong spread his hands and said that he came to ask you because he didn't know anything.
"For military power!"
When Xue Gui saw this, he stopped beating around the bush:
"The war between gods has never ended. It was fought in the past, it is fought now, and it will be fought in the future.
It’s just that we don’t fight in the Three Realms, but in places outside the Three Realms, which is where you often go.”
Obviously, the place the master is referring to is the script world.
It can be understood that the battle between gods is always a struggle in the world of the script. There are not only the forces of gods from the underworld, but also the forces of other gods. Even collisions between gods are not uncommon.
Mei Xian on the side interjected at this moment: "Plum Blossom Taoist was once like you, and he often entered it. Like you, every time he comes back, his strength will explode a lot."
Hearing this, Xu Tong's pupils tightened and he thought to himself: "Could it be that Taoist Meihua was once a player??"
But then I thought about it and felt that something was wrong. There should not have been the title of player in that era.
Just when Xu Tong was shocked by Mr. Mei's words, the master Xue Gui on the side threw another depth bomb.
"It's not surprising. Many people have been there in history, but the name of that place has been completely different throughout the dynasties.
This matter is no longer a shocking secret within the three religions, it is just kept secret."
The amount of information in these words was astonishing. Even though Xu Tong was mentally prepared, he was also shocked.
The master was even afraid that he would not understand, so he dipped his fingers in the wine and drew a Tai Chi diagram on the table.
"As the saying goes, the way of yin and yang, our ancestors have understood things thoroughly a long time ago. Everything has yin and yang, and the same is true in the world."
He pointed to the sunny side of the Tai Chi Diagram: "This is reality, history, civilization, myths, and legends, all on this side."
Then he pointed to the dark side: "This side can be understood as the mirror world, reflecting people, objects, and things in reality, but just like the reflection on the water, things that are closer to the object can still be illuminated clearly, but things that are far away can be clearly illuminated.
, it will become moldy or even distorted.”
Then he pointed to the line in the middle of the Tai Chi Diagram: "This is the place where the gods live. There will always be some mortals who will be guided in, thereby entering the realm world, and completing what the gods hope to accomplish in the realm world.
There are even some people who have become a part of the gods step by step."
The master's words instantly overturned Xu Tong's understanding of the world of the script. The content was so large that even he needed to pause for a moment to digest it carefully.
The master also took advantage of this free time and didn't forget to put a piece of meat with kuaizi sauce in his mouth. If he didn't take another bite, he, the unscrupulous person, would finish it.
"Gui Du, gave us the right to monitor Yin and Yang, and let us arrest those evil gods, evil gods, is he so kind?
Ultimately, it's because he can't get out. Although he has soldiers, he has no power. Although he is in a high position, he is tightly bound. So he wants power and wants to get rid of the shackles. What should he do? He has to find an excuse.
This time the female envoy came and brought the corpse of Fu Yi, the general who guarded the realm in the underworld. Although she came to make peace, the motive behind it was not that simple. I don’t know what it is specifically, but it should be to compete with the gods for a place.
It’s about the place.”
The master pinched his beard and sneered: "But this girl underestimated the appetite of these ghost kings and emperors, and that's why she was killed."
"So this blame is placed on Po Meng's head!"
When Xu Tong heard this, he suddenly realized.
The master nodded: "This old woman has a huge backstage. If she takes the blame, there's nothing she can do about it. At that time, they can only go to war with the Western Gods. This is what Du Ziren and the others are waiting for. Once the war starts, they will have the opportunity to escape from the underworld.
go out."
After the master explained everything he knew clearly in one breath, he sighed: "We only found out about this later, and it was too late to inform you. This is also your own fate. Fortunately, you are safe and sound, otherwise...
"
The master looked ashamed. He didn't expect that this incident would almost harm Xu Tong.
"Master, this matter has nothing to do with you. If anything, it's Du Ziren and the others who owe me. It's just that I'm not strong enough to ask him for justice."
Xu Tong knew very well the so-called rule, which was that the weak should eat the strong. In the eyes of Du Ziren and other ghost emperors like him, a little ant like himself was flattering himself by being just a chess piece.
To strike, you need to be tough. If you want justice, you must have the strength to demand justice.
Seeing that Xu Tong could understand the truth, Xue Gui felt relieved and took out a small box from his sleeve: "This thing was given to you by Mr. Du in front of Mr. Fu to ask for merit."
A treasure!"
This was the treasure that Xu Tong was waiting for. He quickly took it and saw that there was sealing paint on the box. Obviously, Master and the others didn't know what was in the box.
Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Xu Tong opened the box and looked inside. The smile on his face instantly froze.
The box was empty, except for a piece of paper with seven words clearly written on it: "A special gift of a golden pine nut"
