Chapter 484: Robbers and Invitations from the Japs
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "King Xiao is a wonderful person."
The King of Shicheng said, "You told me to be straightforward, but why do you laugh at me when I'm being straightforward?"
Jin Ting Daxian bowed and apologized, then asked, "What is your backer?"
The King of Shicheng said, "Don't look at me. I don't have that ability. In terms of cultivation, I'm not as advanced as you. But I have a fellow Taoist on Tianping Mountain. He's actually your relative. We can ask him to intercede for us when the time comes."
Immortal Jin Ting suddenly remembered and said, "But is it Immortal Su from Yuquan Cave?"
King Shicheng was a little surprised: "How did you know? Senior Su doesn't like outsiders. He only practices in Yuquan Cave. Even if I go to visit him, I can't see him often."
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "The White Elephant Dragon told me this on your birthday."
The King of Shicheng cursed, "He's so careless with his words. I told you not to have close ties with him."
King Shicheng cursed a few times, then felt relieved. He said, "Once, Su Shangxian came to look for me, and he caught me. He asked about it, and I couldn't help but answer. I told him not to spread the news, but who knew he would be so fond of gossiping."
Jin Ting Daxian said, "I'm really sorry."
King Shicheng was not angry with him and said, "I am not angry with you. You are Su Shangxian's family. I believe he will not refuse you if you ask to see him."
"It's just that the Immortal has always loved peace and quiet, and has always been free from distractions. He especially dislikes those who engage in petty and despicable activities. I'm afraid that he will go out and spread rumors, and then disturb the Taoist fellow's quiet cultivation."
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "I don't know who else he has spoken to before, but you can rest assured that he will not mention this matter to anyone else from now on."
King Shicheng looked at the Immortal Jinting, who said, "He is very afraid of me. I will warn him."
King Shicheng sighed, "That's all."
Jin Ting Daxian said: "Although I am not ready to shave my head yet, I would like to pay a visit to this elder of our family."
King Shicheng showed some hesitation.
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "Not today. I came in such a hurry today that I didn't bring any gifts. Your Majesty, please mention it to the senior. If he is willing to see me, I will come again. Otherwise, I would be ashamed if he turned me away."
This was also the reason why King Shicheng hesitated. After hearing what Immortal Jinting said, he felt much more relaxed.
The Immortal Jinting asked King Shicheng for some Buddhist advice, and told him about the story of the Rakshasa Demon Mother in a brief story, trying to see if there was any good solution in Buddhism.
But obviously to no avail.
If people are unwilling to save themselves, then it will be difficult even for heaven.
While the Immortal Jin Ting was asking for advice on Buddhism, his... no, Ma Qingji's good disciples were escorting a batch of treasures northward.
Many people from the Chixiao Pavilion followed the fleet, and not all of them were from Ximashan.
There is no need to mobilize such a large force on ordinary days. The fleet itself is attractive enough.
But the times now are different. In times of disaster, there are many demons and evil spirits who take the opportunity to cause chaos.
The Gusu fleet was so conspicuous that it would be easy for them to be targeted as it sailed north. And for some reason, the ships did not fly the flags of the government or the King of Wu, making it even more difficult to deter thieves.
The practitioners at the Owl House knew what was in the boat.
They are treasures, gold, silver, gems, corals, famous paintings and calligraphy, rare objects, all of these things must be sent to the imperial capital as a gift.
The King of Wu has been able to enjoy himself in the south of the Yangtze River for so long. If there were no one at court, how could he be so free? Now that the court is not doing well, the King of Wu has to put more effort into doing things.
In addition to guarding these treasures, the people in the Owl House also have to protect the King of Wu's staff.
When the boat reached the rapids, it was surrounded by high mountains on both sides, and trouble really arose.
Ghost lights flickered on both sides of the river, and dark shadows fell from above.
It was a huge rock on the mountain, lifted up by a huge force and thrown towards the ship.
"How dare you!" The cultivator from the Owl House who was following the fleet shouted loudly, and then he saw several skulls flying out and encircling the huge rock, preventing it from falling.
The evil cultivators from the Chixiao Pavilion came out, and the Taoists from Xima Mountain were even more ferocious, saying, "Where did this demon come from? How dare you rob us?"
On the east bank of the river, a group of demons and evildoers burst into laughter, saying, "We're robbing you! Six seventh-grade cultivators, you think you can protect this ship full of treasure? You think you can just walk away like this?"
Liu Ben's expression suddenly changed. He looked around and cursed, "Who leaked the news?"
This trip was originally a secret, so how could it be such a coincidence that not only did people know what was on the ship, but they also knew how many people were guarding the fleet.
This isn't just a leak; there's clearly an insider.
The faces of several people changed suddenly. Looking around, they suddenly felt that no one around them could be trusted.
The robbers on the mountain have already flown down. The leader is undoubtedly a sixth-rank cultivator, who smashes onto the boat like a ferocious god.
The battle was one-sided.
Liu Ben's three brothers grabbed the staff of Prince Wu's Palace and took him away in a cold wind.
Even so, they were sprayed with a handful of poisonous needles and were all seriously injured. They fled back to Gusu day and night without rest.
The people under them were not as agile as them and ran too slowly, so they all died.
This group of strong men killed everyone on the ship, and finally drove the ship to the shore, cast a spell to roll up the treasure, ran up the mountain, and quickly escaped.
When they fled to the deep mountains and forests, this group of strong men were feeling very proud of themselves, but they didn't know when the forest became as dark as night.
"Who is it!" They woke up suddenly.
But no one responded, only a strong ghost energy rushed over, and in just a moment, it sucked the group of strong men into mummies.
The ghostly aura came and went quickly, and when it disappeared, there was nothing left in the old forest.
The Immortal Jinting left Xiufeng Temple, traveled to Gusu, bought some fine jade pieces, and then returned to Shenjing Palace.
On the third day, the White Elephant Dragon appeared at the gate of the Shenjing Palace. He timidly walked to the front of the Golden Palace and bowed, saying, "Great Immortal, King Linchuan invites you to Gusu for a while."
The Immortal Jin Ting asked, "Why are you here again to bring a message to the King of Linchuan?"
The White Elephant Dragon smiled apologetically and said, "It was the order of the God of Impotence. King Linchuan asked for a favor, so I came."
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "Please inform King Linchuan that I will arrive at 3:00 PM, at... the Owl Pavilion."
After receiving the reply, Bai Xianglong resigned.
The Thunder Officer asked, "Great Immortal, he seems very afraid of you."
The Immortal Jin Ting asked, "When is he not afraid of me?"
Officer Cai Lei said, "I've been particularly afraid of you lately."
Cai Leiguan naturally didn't know that the White Elephant Dragon was now serving as a bridge of communication between the Five Gods and the Taihu God, stealing the job originally reserved for the Great Immortal Jin Ting, so he naturally didn't dare to jump around in front of him.
What's more, the fire in his heart has already taken root in him. When he sees his master, how can he not submit?
The Thunder Collector informed the Inspector that the Moon Collector was allowed to take a day off tonight, and the Immortal wanted to take the moon instrument out.
But he didn't understand: "Great Immortal, why did the King of Linchuan look for you?"
Jin Ting Daxian smiled and said, "Who knows?"
