Chapter 395: Remains of the Zhou General (7)
"Huh?" Tao Zi looked at him in confusion, "What?"
Cheng Wuchou said, "General Zhou has endured for three thousand years and is almost at his limit. If we don't kill him now, he might go completely crazy and lose his mind completely. The wandering ghosts here will also cause chaos in the world. This is the real reason why the ruins appeared."
Li Xiu's thoughts were even more extreme than Tao Zi's: "Can't he just commit suicide?"
Brother: "...It really can't work. Ghosts have died once and have lost the ability to commit suicide, at least most of them. What's more terrifying is that General Zhou's ghost is already so powerful that even if it doesn't resist, ordinary cultivators can't kill it."
"That's really troublesome." Li Xiu muttered, then waved her hand and said, "You two brothers should discuss it among yourselves. I need to take it easy."
Cheng Wuchou pondered for a while, then stretched out his hand and said, "Azi, take a look at the contents of my brother's bracelet."
Tao Zi placed her hand on it, her expression becoming increasingly strange. "It will take both the practitioners in the Mother and Child Illusion and the practitioners in General Zhou's Illusion to join forces and use the rewards for clearing the level. Only then will it be possible to kill General Zhou?"
He nodded and said, "I was standing here, unable to move, until you appeared out of thin air."
She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then sneered, "General Zhou did this on purpose. One person's bracelet has this information, and the other doesn't. If the one with the information gets evil, they can just cheat out the reward for passing the level, and then kill General Zhou and seize the opportunity."
Cheng Wuchou sighed and said, "Yes, General Zhou's relationship with the cultivators is probably not very good. He put the two together in a seemingly caring way, but in fact he has murderous intentions."
Li Xiu slowly interrupted, "Three people, I'm a human too."
The brother and sister ignored this and continued discussing the matter.
But since there was too little information, we had to stop there regretfully and discuss the next step.
Li Xiu had been playing around for a long time before he slowly got up and said, "The rewards I got for passing the level are the Heart-Shaping Bracelet and the Poisoned Wine."
Tao Zi's mouth twitched, and she said, "Let's not talk about the heart-to-heart bracelet for now. What's going on with this poisoned wine?"
He casually said, "There's an explanation later. It says that it was poisoned wine given to General Zhou by the Emperor's daughter."
Cheng Wuchou's attention was elsewhere: "Concentric bracelet? If I'm not mistaken, you and A Zi should each have one. Can this thing be used now? Who knows if it will be useful later."
Tao Zi shook her head. "It says it will be released after the illusion ends. I guess the so-called end of the illusion means the end of the training. After all, to General Zhou, this relic is indeed an illusion."
Li Xiu said slowly: "In other words, our every move is being watched by ghosts."
This is indeed true, but when it comes out of his mouth, it gives people goosebumps.
She said, "That's not important. The key is where are we going to find Xi Jing and the others? There must be a gathering place."
"Wait for news." He waved a small plate in his hand and said, "This is distributed uniformly by the Xujia Sect. Once I regain my freedom, I will immediately contact the others through this small plate."
Tao Zi looked closely and saw a few small red dots scattered in various areas on the small plate.
She asked, "Brother, have you revealed your location?"
Cheng Wuchou smiled and said, "You can rest assured about this. This small plate is divided into different levels. It can only see the traces of cultivators of the same level or lower. Cheng Luo and I belong to the first level, and Xi Jing and the others are classified as the second level."
"Are the other second-level monks reliable?"
He said confidently, "Absolutely reliable."
Tao Zi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The three of them looked around at the red dots, and soon a darker red dot appeared.
Cheng Wuchou suddenly became alert and asked, "Second level, are you going?"
Tao Zi was about to agree, but found that the red dots were all heading in the same direction. The two looked at each other and tacitly chose to follow them.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the place, they understood the reason - disciples of the Tiandao Sect were guarding there.
Cheng Wuchou whispered: "As expected of the Tiandao Sect, its appeal is undeniable."
Tao Zi also nodded.
Their conversation reached the ears of the disciples of the Tiandao Sect. One disciple looked up, clasped his fists, and said, "Master Cheng, Fellow Daoist Tao, and Doctor Li, would you please come with us?"
This was an invitation and also a way to give face to Cheng Wuchou.
Cheng Wuchou and the other two jumped off the spirit ship. He smiled and said, "I was wondering why so many people were here. It turns out that the disciples of Tiandao Sect are here."
The disciple did not hide anything and said directly: "My disciples have discovered the location of Xucheng."
Hearing this, Li Xiu couldn't help but be shocked. It wasn't because of Xu Cheng's location, but because of the selfless contributions of the Tiandao Sect disciples - were these Tiandao Sect disciples here to gain experience, or to do good deeds?
The brother and sister looked at each other, also shocked. Although the Tiandao Sect was the guiding light and role model for the entire cultivation world, it didn't have to go to such lengths.
The disciple saw what they were thinking and explained, "A senior brother sent a message saying that we need to liberate the evil spirits in this ruins and eliminate General Zhou, otherwise they will cause trouble to the world. After discussing it, we decided it would be better to just gather everyone together. Even if we can't eliminate General Zhou, we can still kill more evil spirits."
Li Xiu thought of the flower monk and said hesitantly, "The Buddhist monks should be better at salvation."
"Please rest assured, Doctor Li. Due to the large number of wandering ghosts, the Tiandao Sect has given some places to the Yi Nian Sect. The number of Buddhist practitioners will definitely not be scarce."
Li Xiu was silent. Did he say anything that worried him? Also, this Tiandao Sect was truly generous...
Cheng Wuchou ignored all these things and directly asked for Xu Cheng's address, and then took them there.
The Tiandao Sect disciple warned, "I'm afraid the journey ahead won't be peaceful. Please be careful."
He smiled and thanked: "Thank you for the reminder, fellow Taoist."
After leaving those people's sight, Li Xiucai said: "This Tiandao Sect is really selfless. They are willing to give up any quota."
Cheng Wuchou disagreed, casually sitting on the side of the spirit ship and said, "At most, it's generous, but it's not selfless at all."
He looked over in confusion and asked, "What does Master Cheng mean?"
"Every time the Tiandao Sect does good things, it is known to everyone, not to mention..." He snorted coldly and refused to continue.
Tao Zi offered a fairly objective assessment: "It's a smart decision to let people know about your good deeds. Furthermore, this good reputation was earned through personal gain and even sacrifice; it's not fake."
Cheng Wuchou smiled nonchalantly, looking at the fake sky in the ruins, and said, "What if we choose to do good things?"
"Nothing wrong with that."
He sighed and said, "It's understandable."
Tao Zi paused, glanced at her brother who was in a bad mood, and said, "If they deliberately concealed something or even lied about something, and caused something bad to happen to me or someone around me, then regardless of whether they were right or wrong, I would not have a good impression of them."
Cheng Wuchou smiled and whispered, "Talk to Ah Zi about some interesting things when you have time."
