Chapter 684: Going to a meeting alone and following the rules
"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."
He stared intently at Zhu Duiyou, and then revealed the purpose of his trip.
"Sowing discord, taking advantage of every opportunity, instigating betrayal, and disintegrating the alliance!"
"Am I right?"
"Pah, pah, pah,"
Zhu Duiyou raised his hands to applaud, smiled and shook his head.
"Brother Dao, you think too much. I'm just here to explore and make friends. I can't think as much as you do, and I don't have any special assignments."
"Oh? Then you came here just to play a trick on us?"
The master of Yueyao Peak spoke out, wanting to see through his whole body, obviously with a bit of fun, to see what tricks he could do.
"No, I just wanted to see what kind of heroes have been hovering on Jiuyao Peak for hundreds of years, but I was disappointed!"
"Just like you guys, you guys have been able to occupy the place for so long. It's a blessing from God!"
"Look above your heads, there are clouds of calamity and disaster approaching. You don't know it, but you are complacent. I really don't know why you are so happy?"
"That's all, I guess you already don't believe in fate, so why would I bother to extradite you by force? It's so thankless, but I'm not human inside and out..."
Everyone frowned and found that it was different from what they expected?
What's going on with Zhu Duiyou?
Instead of sowing discord, he started talking about luck. What on earth is this guy doing?
"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have anything to say, say it quickly. If you really have nothing to say, then please do it!"
The peak master of Luohu Peak gave an ultimatum, and I always felt like something was beating in my heart.
Zhu Duiyou's eyes flashed, something seemed to flash by in the dark, and then there was a burst of thunder in the sky, and it rained heavily outside.
"Master of Luohu Peak, the black light above your head is brewing. It is the shadow of Luohuxing's disciple under Jiuyao Luohou Xingjun. If you can successfully sit still for hundreds of years, you will have a chance to receive the favor of Xingjun, and you may be able to return it in the future.
There is hope that it will grow into the Nascent Soul stage.”
"This is one of the hidden benefits of being the leader of Jiuyao Peak. Although the legend cannot be verified, it is still an inexplicable blessing."
"It's a pity that you are now covered by yellow clouds and the two have melted. It seems that you are going through a war, which means that you have neglected your own precautions."
"At this moment, maybe Luo Hufeng has had an accident!"
And the next moment he finished speaking!
The sound of running outside the tent was very fast, and one could hear the nervousness of the person who rushed in and knelt on the ground.
The peak master of Luohu Peak recognized it at a glance. Isn’t this one of his men? I remember asking him to guard the house. Why did he suddenly come here?
"Report! Peak Master! We at Luohu Peak were just attacked by Tu Yao Peak. As a result, the disciples were leaderless and were kicked out of the mountain gate. We... tried our best!"
"What???"
Master Luohu Peak shook three times. Not long after he came out, he was on the front line to resist the invasion of the outside world. How come someone is stealing from his home at this time?
He stood up angrily, looked at the peak master of Tuyao Peak, and questioned him directly in court!
"Why do you still want to steal a house at this time? Don't you know that if the skin is gone, the hair will be attached? Before outsiders can sow discord, you have started internal strife yourself!"
The master of Tuyao Peak looked confused, not even knowing what was happening.
"Brother Taoist, please don't jump to conclusions. I have no plan to seize your mountain. Is this all a misunderstanding?"
"It can't be a misunderstanding. I saw with my own eyes that a man with a face slightly similar to yours led troops to forcibly kill me on the peak, and..."
"And what?"
"In addition, we cooperated internally and externally, breaking the mountain protection formation of Luohu Peak, not counting it. We also took away the eighteen-room concubine of the peak master, and plundered all kinds of resources that our peak has managed to save over the years!"
"Wow, yeah, yeah, I'm so angry, I'll fight you!"
The master of Luohu Peak wanted to settle the score with the master of Tuyao Peak on the spot. The latter had been in a fog and didn't look like he was cheating. The Jindan masters next to him quickly stopped him to persuade him.
It's just that before you have investigated clearly, you must not act on impulse, lest outsiders see the joke and hurt your own reputation.
Zhu Duiyou looked at the master of Tuyao Peak at this time, his face suddenly turned pitiful, he sighed and shook his head without saying anything.
The master of Tuyao Peak was already feeling irritable and suspicious at this time. Could it be that the third child had gone to steal the house? Why did he suddenly have such courage? Or was it because someone was helping him?
Suddenly Zhu Duiyou came to him, which made him frown slightly. His eyelids suddenly jumped wildly, and he felt something was wrong!
"You...what do you want to say?"
Zhu Duiyou pointed at the top of his head, his eyes blurred.
"The change in the luck above your head is very obvious. Originally, the local yellow luck was diffuse, which represented the blessing of Earth Star Lord, but now it has a tendency to collapse outward, and a red is slowly but firmly attacking!"
"What? What are you talking about?"
At this time, there were footsteps again outside the Chinese army's tent, and a man stumbled in, his face still covered with blood, and he was crying!
"Peak Master, Tuyao Peak is gone!"
The master of Tuyao Peak shook twice and almost fell down.
"What's going on? Why is it gone? Tell me clearly!"
The man cried endlessly, wiping his tears and sobbing.
"Just when we arrived in You yesterday, the elders of Huoyao Peak suddenly appeared and used some method to break in. They caught us off guard and Tuyao Peak was lost."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Before I left, I left my third brother to look after the house. How could he let something like this happen?"
The minion reported: "The third master saw that the interior of Luohu Peak was empty, so he led a team to attack Luohu Peak."
Peak Master of Tuyao Peak: "..."
Zhu Duiyou let out a long sigh at this time. He didn't need to say anything. He could predict what was about to happen just by opening his mouth. It was as if he had divine help!
He focused his attention on the head of Huoyao Peak.
"Shut your mouth, you damn crow, I don't want to hear what you have to say!"
The leader of Huoyao Peak suddenly felt that he was going to be in bad luck.
Chapter completed!
