Li Zhu knew it would be pointless, because the tent wasn't very big, and there weren't many places to hide...
After all, we were on a march, so everything was done in a simple and convenient way...
His gaze swept throughout the entire tent, not even missing places like the roof!
However, nothing was found, which made Li Zhu even more uneasy. If the other party really wanted to harm him, he wouldn't even know how he died!
Just as Li Zhu was about to sit down and rest, he noticed that the box next to him had been moved. Although the other person had concealed it well and restored it to its original state, having learned his lesson from the time he stole Consort Zhu's secret compartment, he had taken precautions to protect the important things around him. He could tell if someone had touched them; this was a secret known only to him…
It seems someone really did come to his tent, probably looking for something. Who was it? And what were they looking for?
Li Zhu opened the box and looked at the contents neatly arranged in their original places. He wondered what the other party wanted.
Then he thought of something important: the Book of the Zodiac!
He had studied this for a long time but had no clues. Perhaps the other party's goal was the Book of the Zodiac!
He reached his hand to the bottom of the box, moved his fingers a couple of times, and then saw a hidden compartment open. The Zodiac Book was still inside; it hadn't been stolen!
This relieved Li Zhu, who took out the Book of the Zodiac and began studying it again, but still found no clues…
Then he realized that if this person really came for the Book of the Zodiac, it would be dangerous to release him. Besides, the Book of the Zodiac could be used as bait to lure him out...
Thinking of this, Li Zhu decided to keep the Yellow Path Heavenly Book on his person and see who this person was who dared to lurk by his side and play the double agent with him!
"This... could this be the legendary Book of the Zodiac...?"
Little Baka watched as Li Zhu placed the Book of the Zodiac in his arms, and couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, his eyes filled with longing...
You know about this?
Li Zhu looked at the excited little baka and asked!
"Reporting to the Divine Envoy, the ancient texts record that the Zodiac Book was written by the Yamata no Orochi and possesses mysterious and unpredictable power. I never imagined it would be in your possession. It seems this was bestowed upon you by the Yamata no Orochi..."
Li Zhu desperately wanted to slap that little bastard. Did he, the dignified Crown Prince of the New Tang Dynasty, need someone else to bestow this upon him? He had clearly earned it through his own abilities…
"In the records you've read, has there been any mention of any secrets in the Book of the Zodiac?"
Li Zhu suppressed the urge to hit someone and looked at the little bastard, asking!
"No, it's just that the Book of the Zodiac contains the secret to obtaining the entire world..."
Li Zhu rolled his eyes at him, thinking to himself, "I know that too, but how do I get this secret from the Book of the Zodiac?"
Suddenly, Li Zhu realized that the reason Xiao Baga knew about the Book of the Zodiac must be because of the records brought by Xu Fu. Perhaps these records were some secrets of Taoism. Zhang Liang obtained the Book of the Zodiac because a down-on-his-luck Taoist priest gave it to him...
Since they are both Taoists, perhaps Tianmiao Daoren knows the secrets of the Yellow Path Heavenly Book…
Since he was going to find Daoist Tianmiao anyway, he might as well ask him at the same time. Having made up his mind, Li Zhu turned and walked out of the tent, heading towards the location of Daoist Tianmiao…
To maintain the mystique of these Taoist priests, no one is allowed to have contact with them under normal circumstances. Moreover, when they set up camp, a separate area is designated for them, with a level of security even higher than their tents.
Having been traumatized by the previous explosion, Daoist Tianmiao was extremely cautious while working, fearing that he might accidentally kill himself. He didn't want to meet the Three Pure Ones so soon...
There were more than thirty Taoist priests in this group, and each of them had their own things to do...
When Li Zhu arrived, no one paid him any attention. It was clear they still harbored resentment towards him because he hadn't told them about the danger of this thing, causing them to lose sleep for days after the explosion…
"Oh my... Daoist Tianmiao, what a coincidence..."
Li Zhu was really embarrassed, so he came up with a not-so-excuse excuse to strike up a conversation!
"Unfortunately, if you hadn't come, we would never have met..."
Master Tianmiao showed absolutely no respect and had no manners whatsoever!
"Master Tianmiao, you're a monk, don't have such a temper..."
Li Zhu clicked his tongue and said, "It seems the soap-making recipe I gave you last time wasn't enough to quell these people's anger..."
"We're doing this for the benefit of all people; we should be overjoyed, not angry..."
The Taoist Tianmiao spoke with a hidden meaning!
Li Zhu rolled his eyes at the other person in his mind, thinking with disdain, "Only you dare to be so shameless in front of me. Anyone else would have shut him up long ago..."
"I know you Taoist priests have worked hard, so I'm here late at night to bring you some goodies..."
Li Zhu said confidently, and sure enough, when the Taoists heard there was a benefit, their eyes immediately turned towards him...
"No need to give more, just one hundred taels of gold each will do..."
Upon hearing Tianmiao Daoist's words, Li Zhu wanted to say, "Are you really monks? No one likes money more than you, and you're talking about getting a hundred taels of gold each? Why don't you just rob someone?"
"Master Tianmiao, how can you be so materialistic? Talking about money is so hurtful!"
Upon hearing that there was no money, the Taoist priests who had initially turned their attention to him turned away, replacing their gazes with disdain, which made Li Zhu somewhat embarrassed…
"The benefits I'm offering you are far better than money. If you make the most of them, they might bring you immense wealth..."
Li Zhu's empty promises were clearly unpopular; nobody responded to him at all…
He didn't mind being ignored and immediately asked...
"Daoist Tianmiao, I see you often drink alcohol. I wonder what kind of alcohol you drink?"
“Of course it’s fine wine. As monks, how could ordinary wine be fit for us cultivators…”
Master Tianmiao said with great pride that he believed he had only drunk the best wines. Moreover, as Taoist priests, they often traveled the world and had tasted all kinds of fine wines. The wines that they remembered and brought out to drink were definitely recognized as the best!
"I think so. The wine you're drinking is not only bland and tasteless, but also dull in color. I have a method for brewing fine wine, which I'll give to you as a bonus. Aren't I generous enough?"
Upon hearing Li Zhu's words, Daoist Tianmiao looked at him with suspicion, as if to say, "You, the sixth brother, can actually be so kind? It's a good thing you haven't secretly killed us all..."
Do you think I'll believe you?
Master Tianmiao replied with an attitude of "I don't believe you for a second," which deeply hurt Li Zhu...
