Zhao Wuyou was invited to the outside of the city, and the painting girl asked him to get on the carriage at the rendezvous place.
"What's happened recently? You haven't been looking for me. When you look for me now, you're still so mysterious. Is it because I became a halberd bearer and you suspect that I have been bribed by the emperor? Or is it some other reason?
"
The painting girl stood aside and didn't speak. She just followed the instructions and arranged Zhao Wuyou to a suitable place. As for the inside story, she couldn't know.
Hiding in the carriage, Zhao Wuyou didn't even notice that there was a curtain, and even the door of the carriage had to be opened from the outside in. Sitting in such a small carriage, he felt like he was in a prison cell.
However, with the painting girl accompanying him, he didn't have much to worry about. After all, Huamei was not a ruthless person, and she would not let her personal maid die together with Zhao Wuyou.
After walking on a bumpy road for a while, the carriage finally stopped. Zhao Wuyou saw someone opening the door and letting him get out of the carriage.
"What the hell is this place? I've never seen it before!" Zhao Wuyou looked at the place in front of him in surprise. There were clearly lush mountains behind him, but he had never seen anything similar to this near the capital.
place.
"Don't look, this is an illusion. What you see now is not real." A calm and helpless voice came, breaking Zhao Wuyou's mindless speculation.
The mountains rolled like waves, and Zhao Wuyou also saw a familiar and pretty figure from inside.
At this moment, Huamei supported the old woman with silver hair on her head and emerged from the mountains.
The old woman held a golden crutch engraved with the phoenix totem in her hand, and with the support of the thrush, she still walked like a baby learning to walk.
The voice she just spoke to introduce her surroundings to her was that she liked it.
Zhao Wuyou hurried more and more. Things were not simple. Not to mention Huamei's respectful and submissive attitude towards the old woman, the strong aura that she exuded intermittently was even stronger than that of the emperor.
"Are you Zhao Wuyou?" the old woman looked at him and asked with a smile.
"Exactly, I wonder what you want to see me for?" Zhao Wuyou didn't dare to say anything witty in front of her, but looked at the woman in front of him with a serious expression.
The woman didn't seem to be in a hurry, but invited Zhao Wuyou to come to her side. She looked at him for a while, then asked with a smile:
"I heard that you have cultivated the Supreme Taoist Scriptures and even become a halberd bearer. Do you have a chance to meet the Emperor of Fengming Empire?"
The old woman was very polite when she spoke, but her cloudy eyes would emit a flash of light from time to time, making Zhao Wuyou dare not look down upon her or have the idea of lying.
"Yes, I am not very good at practicing the Supreme Taoist Scriptures. I don't usually see the emperor. I work as a halberd bearer beside the queen, and I rarely see the emperor." Zhao Wuyou said truthfully.
The old woman smiled when she heard this. She knew that Zhao Wuyou was wary of her now, but at the same time, he did not lie.
"You will see the emperor in two days. He is about to leave confinement and it is time to return to the capital." The old woman spoke, but her words were a bit cold.
"Well, it doesn't matter if I see him or not. I'm just a nobody anyway. The emperor is too far away for me and I don't feel anything at all."
After hearing Zhao Wuyou's words, the old woman said nothing. Instead, she sat tiredly on the illusory-looking stone bench aside and motioned for Zhao Wuyou to sit down as well.
Zhao Wuyou sat down obediently, while Huamei next to him began to serve others. He poured tea for the two of them with a low eyebrow, and then pushed back behind the old woman.
After taking a sip of tea, the old woman recovered and said to Zhao Wuyou:
"Zhao Wuyou, I heard Huamei say that you are a young chivalrous man with a heroic spirit, so I came to you today because I want your help with something. I hope you won't refuse."
Having said this, Zhao Wuyou vaguely felt that what she might have asked him to do was a fool's errand, but if he refused now, he was afraid that she would silence him in order to keep it secret.
This capital is really just calm on the surface, but in fact it is too complicated and complicated, and it is not affordable for ordinary people. Zhao Wuyou also felt powerless at this moment.
The mysterious woman came to him to supervise the emperor, the prince asked him to watch the queen's every move, and now Huamei and the people behind her also came to him. Why didn't he know that he was of such use to these people?
"What if I refuse? Will you kill me?" Zhao Wuyou said with a smile. He didn't want to deal with these complicated forces now.
The old woman remained calm, but Huamei beside her was surprised. He looked at Zhao Wuyou in disbelief, and quickly winked at him, asking him to agree to the old woman.
"Why do you want to refuse? You don't even know what it is. How do you know if this thing is good for you? If it is good for you, are you a little ignorant of the fact that you refuse so decisively now?
"The old woman looked at Zhao Wuyou with a smile.
"After you showed up, I felt that things were not simple. In addition, you still care so much about the emperor. Combined with the grievances between the Phoenix clan and the royal family, it is difficult for me not to believe that what you want me to do is not a big deal.
Difficult things.
The answer is yes. You won’t come all the way to chat with me, and it won’t be an ordinary thing. Otherwise, you should find someone else to do it. The most I can do is pretend not to know, no.
Be enemies with the Phoenix Clan."
Zhao Wuyou had said this with the utmost sincerity, but he couldn't make a decision as to whether she could listen or not. He could only look at her and wait for her to tell him all this.
"You kid, you are interesting and your words are very good, but you have forgotten that although the world is big, you can have different living conditions, and there is no need to stay in Fengming Empire.
Children like you should go out and make a living instead of being trapped in the small Fengming Empire. If he is no longer in the Fengming Empire, will you die with the Fengming Empire?" When the old woman spoke again,
, exuding a murderous aura.
Is the Fengming Empire dying? Is the Phoenix clan really going to take action against the emperor? If this is the case, then this matter is reasonable.
The old woman stopped hiding, looked at Zhao Wuyou, and said:
"The emperor did not go into exile before, but went to a place and reached an agreement. His ultimate goal is terrible. Are you sure you want to die for such an ambitious emperor?"
"I don't want to, I just don't want to get involved in the fight between you." Zhao Wuyou said honestly and looked at the old woman.
"Haha, I'm afraid you won't survive. Now not only am I paying attention to you, but also the emperor is paying attention to you, the Shenlong Empire is paying attention to you, and what's more, there are also existences deep in the wild land that are also paying attention to you.
Your existence is the biggest variable in the coming storm. Some people will get rid of you in advance in order to eliminate hidden dangers. Some people will use you to do things for them. Your fate has already been decided.
It’s no longer in your own hands.”
When the old woman spoke, her eyes sparkled with light. Zhao Wuyou couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment. Why did he become the focus of countless forces in her mouth? Why? Just
With his own cultivation level, his cultivation level is obviously not good enough in front of the real boss.
"Why, on what grounds, I want strength but not strength, power but not influence. Those people can't think that I am just worried about the world being in chaos, so they involve me, right?" Zhao Wuyou looked at the old woman in confusion, right?
, he needs an answer. This question has been lingering in his heart for a long time, and he is unhappy about it.
"Because you are a human being, and you succeeded in practicing the Supreme Dao Sutra before you absorbed the essence of dragons and phoenixes, this inevitably led to you becoming the focus of those forces.
Your existence is the biggest threat to those forces."
When the old woman spoke, her face was solemn, and she did not look like she was lying. However, Zhao Wuyou did not expect that this supreme Taoist scripture would have such great appeal. He could not figure it out and did not understand it.
"Why, I still don't understand it well. My master Cao Yunfei also practiced the Supreme Taoist Sutra, and I only practiced it after him. What's so strange about it?
What's more, this Supreme Taoist Sutra only seems mysterious, but if the conditions are relaxed, there are probably not a few people who can successfully practice it, so what does it mean to me?" Zhao Wuyou was not satisfied with this answer, so he
I don’t believe that just because I have practiced the Supreme Tao Sutra, I can attract so many big shots.
The old woman was not angry at Zhao Wuyou's suspicion, but gave a rare smile and said:
"You are wrong. Cao Yunfei also has the blood of ancient beasts, but you are a human, a purebred person. Your existence will let people know that the rumors are not false, but there are always people who think that you are different.
The most extreme way to prove that you are an alternative is to destroy you."
Before Zhao Wuyou could ask again, the old woman told him a story from tens of thousands of years ago.
This continent, whose real name is the Continent of Ten Thousand Beasts, is home to countless tribes of ancient mythical beasts, and humans are just food for these beasts.
Such days lasted for nearly ten thousand years, until a person appeared, and such days came to an end.
In the Purple Lightning Room of the Qingshan Mountains, an unknown small tribe gave birth to a little boy named Zhou Zhentian. He seemed to be chosen by God to save mankind. He entered Taoism at the age of three. At the age of ten, he was already the strongest person in the entire tribe. At the age of twenty
Before, he traveled around the world, visited martial arts masters, and became a world-famous human master.
By chance, he practiced the Supreme Taoist Scripture, which was regarded as a treasure by the tribe of mythical beasts. The original Supreme Taoist Scripture did not attract people's attention, but until he practiced it as a human, he simplified it and turned it into something.
After learning the secrets of martial arts, he returned to his hometown to establish a sect and recruit many disciples.
All this did not attract the attention of the mythical beast tribe, because the mythical beast tribe had gradually become depressed at that time. They did not believe that human beings who had eaten rations for tens of thousands of years could cause any waves.
However, perhaps it was fate that their indifference gave Zhou Zhentian precious fifty years, during which he taught seventy-two heroes and thirty-six human emperors.
Fifty years later, Zhou Zhentian, who had mastered the Supreme Taoist Sutra, resolutely raised the banner and called on all his disciples to resist the atrocities of the mythical beast tribe and strive for a peaceful human world.
A fierce battle between the human race and the mythical beast tribe lasted for more than three hundred years. At that time, half of the human race was wiped out in one fell swoop, while the mythical beast tribe lost nearly 30% of its masters.
Deep in the wilderness, there is a battle pit left behind after the battle between 300,000 people and 200,000 beasts. Even the fruits of the trees growing in it are bright red, and they are still like this to this day.
The final result was that the mythical beast tribe could no longer bear it or consume it. Some of their tribes surrendered voluntarily and obtained Zhou Zhentian's forgiveness. They then combined with the remaining human emperors to form one small country after another. In order to respect them, those human emperors
The mythical beasts turned their images into the protecting mythical beasts and totems of their own small country.
The Phoenix Clan and the Shenlong Clan are one of them.
Zhou Zhentian finally reached an agreement with the mythical beast tribe. The mythical beast tribe only lived in the endless barbaric land, and the human race no longer set foot in the barbaric land. The two sides stopped fighting.
As Zhou Zhentian who saved the human race, he also became the god worshiped by all humans.
When his disciples began to combine with mythical beasts to establish small countries, he returned to his hometown and lived with his family. However, he lived for a full 7,532 years, and during this period, he laid the foundation for the human race.
The foundation for prosperity.
Those mythical beast tribes that were unwilling to fail also gradually grew old under Zhou Zhentian's consumption, and finally gave up.
During this period, those mythical beasts summarized and practiced the original version of the Supreme Taoist Scripture, but no one was able to exert the maximum power of the Supreme Taoist Scripture. Finding those humans with the bloodline of the mythical beasts, the difficulty of successful cultivation was very difficult, almost one in a million.
The probability is 1, but once it is successfully cultivated, it will be more powerful than the clan of mythical beasts who have also successfully cultivated the Supreme Dao Scripture.
When they looked for pure human beings to cultivate, they all failed without exception. This plan was carried out during Zhou Zhentian's lifetime. It lasted for three thousand years and they searched for 200,000 people, but no one succeeded.
Since then, the legend of the Supreme Taoist Sutra has spread. Once a pure human race succeeds in cultivation, he will be the greatest nemesis of the tribe of divine beasts. This legend has been engraved in the hearts of the divine beasts for a long time.
Now that Zhao Wuyou has successfully cultivated as a pure human race, how can he not frighten those ambitious beasts? In order to ensure that they will escape from the barbarian tribe in the future, they must also keep Zhao Wuyou in their hearts and prepare to get rid of him at any time.
"You couldn't be more likely to lie to me, right?" Zhao Wuyou only believed 30%, and left 70% doubtful.
The old woman looked at Zhao Wuyou with an indifferent expression and said with a smile:
"Look, otherwise with your current superficial cultivation, how could you attract the attention of those big shots? Why would you?"
"With my handsome appearance and temperament that is popular among thousands of girls." Zhao Wuyou laughed and said. He was sure that he was not in danger, so he thought it would be good to earn some dandy points.
"Ding, dude is worth 3."
The old woman glanced at Zhao Wuyou with resentment,
"I didn't expect that you would be invincible if you were thick-skinned."
