The hydrangeas were specifically thrown at crowded places. Some monks didn't even know what was happening and just ran away like the crowd.
Everything was in tatters, businesses were closed, and apart from the messy streets and the fleeing monks, the only one left was Fang Shan, who was throwing hydrangeas from a high-rise building with a dark face.
Inside the restaurant, the Purple Dragon Divine Beast looked at the paper-covered windows, feeling somewhat worried: "What if something breaks in?"
The holy artifact is now a hot potato. It is useless to get it, but it is a pity to throw it away.
If either the Demon Lord or Du Xuan achieved a breakthrough, it would be a different story. The sacred weapon could play a role in changing the situation in war, but now, it is a living disaster.
Du Xuan's eyes flickered, as if he had made up his mind: "If I have no other choice, I will open the door and release the Demon Lord."
Bang!
The Demon Lord gave a gentle smack, seemingly without much force, and the tables and chairs shattered into pieces. The owner and the waiter hid in the cabinet, trembling in fear, sighing inwardly that this was an unprovoked disaster.
Just when everyone thought he was about to lose his temper, the Demon Lord suddenly looked at the monk from the Buddha Gate and said, "The story of the Buddha cutting off his flesh to feed an eagle is a long-standing one. Monk, why don't you go and pray for the holy vessel outside? At the very least, you can emulate the Buddha and acquire a holy vessel."
The monks looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, the old monk spoke: "The Buddha's cutting of his flesh to feed the eagle was a sign of mercy. However, if I go, I will sacrifice my life for the sake of faith."
The Demon Lord curled his lips, seeming to be very dissatisfied with their words.
Du Xuan, who was sitting at another table, smiled and said, "Saint Monk, your words are very profound. A sacred artifact taking form is something you only encounter when you encounter it, but not when you seek it. If Buddhism could obtain two of these sacred artifacts, there would be no need to worry about their prosperity."
The old monk was speaking with some hesitation, but a young monk who had just started was not happy with his words and said angrily, "My master is not a fool."
Without waiting for Du Xuan to speak, the old monk bent his fingers and knocked on the young monk's bald head. The young monk felt pain and dared not say anything.
The Xiaoyao Sect's leader put down his cup and said, "Business is more important. Why bother engaging in meaningless arguments, fellow Taoists?" He then looked at the shopkeeper hiding in the closet and asked, "Where is the back door?"
The shopkeeper pointed in a direction, and the leader of Xiaoyao Sect left a silver ingot on the table and quickly rushed towards the small gate.
Du Xuan and the Purple Dragon followed closely behind. The Demon Lord snorted coldly, but also told his subordinates to leave through the back door.
Besides, outside, although Fang Shan was throwing the bouquet, he was not completely reckless. He only targeted those who were well-dressed and looked noble.
Unfortunately, these people ran so fast that even if they were hit, they ran out of the city without looking back.
"Forget it," Fang Shan muttered, looking at the almost empty alleyway that once served as the main road. "A forced melon isn't sweet."
Wei Sushen waited until he had made enough noise, then patted Fang Shan on the shoulder.
Fang Shan seemed to have made up his mind: "Although I am suffering now following the host, we will become prosperous one day."
Wei Sushen stared at him and said calmly, "Before I met you, I lived in a villa, drove a luxury car, ate delicacies from land and sea, and people praised and flattered me wherever I went..."
Fang Shan said seriously: "But I know you are not happy."
“…”
Fang Shan: "If it weren't for me, the host would never have experienced the hardships of sleeping in the open air and going hungry. Without going through these things, how could he reach the true pinnacle?"
Wei Sushen stared at him for a long time, and suddenly some doubts appeared in his eyes.
Fang Shan: "Do you think the expression on my face when I speak now looks familiar?"
Wei Sushen nodded slightly.
Fang Shan: "Every parent uses this expression when educating their children. This expression is also known as 'I'm doing this for your own good.'"
“…”
Unable to find a home, they could only hunt monsters in the wild. At first, they could still hunt a few monks, but as time went on, they became wary of the puppets, and the number of monks training near Chao'an gradually decreased.
Fortunately, when leaving the Demon Realm, there were only 2,000 people left to complete the mission. A large number of puppets had been deployed in the Tianji Sect and the Demon Realm before, and it would take more than a day to clean them up. In total, only the last ten people were left.
Right now, not even a laying bird could be found outside the city. The Alchemist Competition was only a few days away. Although Fang Shan had something to rely on, he didn't dare cause trouble within the city. Alchemists held considerable influence on the mainland, and it was difficult to offend them.
"There should still be a few puppets lingering in the Demon Realm," he said, relaxing and strolling around the city with Wei Sushen. "We can just let them farm the remaining few."
Wei Sushen nodded, his gaze lingering for a moment on a weapon refiner who was competing in the Origin Fire.
Fang Shan: "It's amazing, isn't it?"
Wei Sushen did not deny that seeing something with one's own eyes and seeing it in a TV series or book were two different feelings.
Fang Shan: "If you rush up now and tell them that there's another world where spiritual energy is depleted and mortals only live for a hundred years, they'll definitely think you're crazy."
Wei Sushen's eyes tightened, and Fang Shan smiled and said, "The fact that you've seen so much proves that signing a contract with me is worth it." He paused and said, "So you have to be nice to me."
Wei Sushen, who had been wandering around with the system, said: "..."
Fang Shan did not poke Wei Sushen's heart again. His eyes were fixed on one place. Du Xuan and the purple dragon beast were walking towards him, truly proving that there is no place in the world where we cannot meet each other.
"What a coincidence." Fang Shan walked straight forward, and Du Xuan didn't want to turn around at this time.
"After not seeing each other for a few days, little brother Aoshan is still as charming as ever." Du Xuan said with a smile.
Fang Shan: "Master, do you know about the matchmaking event held a few days ago?"
Du Xuan neither admitted nor denied it, but said with a deep look in his eyes: "The world is so big, you should go somewhere else. I think Shuilong City is pretty good."
It was a city built by mermaids, located under the deep sea.
The Purple Dragon Beast also said, "I have a friendship with the mermaids. If you are willing to go, I can write a letter of introduction."
Fang Shan stared at him suspiciously: "Are you sure this is friendship, not a mortal enemy?"
The Purple Dragon Divine Beast was startled: "Where did you get this from?"
Fang Shan sneered, "If it weren't for the deep-seated hatred, why would I help write the letter? You know exactly what kind of person I am."
The Purple Dragon Divine Beast was speechless... What could he say?
There really are people like this, who live clearly but cannot change their artificial nature.
Wei Sushen behind him was a little surprised. He didn't expect Fang Shan to have such an accurate positioning of himself.
Du Xuan stepped forward to smooth things over: "Would you two like to come with us to the Alchemy Hall?"
Fang Shan was about to nod when Wei Sushen suddenly raised his eyebrows at him. Fang Shan blinked, and the two completed their initial communication.
"No, we have something else to do." Fang Shan declined his kindness.
Du Xuan was surprised by the exchange of expressions between them, but being able to get rid of Fang Shan was a good thing. Before parting, he kindly reminded her: "If you have nothing to do, you can often visit the Demon Realm. The Demon Lord misses you very much."
Fang Shan nodded, turned to Wei Sushen and said, "This is more than just hatred."
Wei Sushen actually agreed with his opinion.
Du Xuan watched them leave with a stiff smile. He had always been known as the number one gentleman in the world of cultivation. The purple dragon beast was standing next to Du Xuan, and he was very sure that the other party must be swearing in his heart.
Fang Shan originally wanted to join in the fun. Although he had experienced many worlds before and was already tired of seeing things like alchemy and weapon forging, it would still be a good idea to take the host to see it.
Unfortunately, the task was completed at the same moment.
[Mission: Puppet Dad’s Love.]
Progress: Completed.
Evaluation: The wise puppets did not receive the respect of the monks. Although they trembled, they did not surrender. Instead, everyone wanted to beat them.
Additional drop penalty: Curse of the Golem.
Punishment duration: one stick of incense.
Punishment: No talking or moving.
Fang Shan bought some incense and lit it at the inn: "Be good, don't move."
Looking at Fang Shan running back and forth like a happy rabbit, Wei Sushen's eyes moved: "You don't need to be punished?"
Fang Shan covered his chest and said, "Seeing the host being punished, it hurts me. It's the greatest harm to me."
Wei Sushen chuckled, his smile light and airy, as if it contained many kinds of emotions, but upon reflection, there was actually nothing.
This punishment is nothing to Wei Sushen. His current body is like a bridge. Not to mention a stick of incense, even if he doesn't move for ten or eight years, it will be no problem.
An incense stick of time passed quickly, and Wei Sushen received a reminder from his mind -
Punishment completed.
Note: I told you not to move, so you moved. You've been fooled, idiot. Hahahaha, the puppet dad will always be your dad.
“…”
Fang Shan cursed: "Shut up, b... " Before he could finish, Wei Sushen rubbed his head and said: "Don't say bad words."
Fang Shan sat cross-legged on a stool, his teeth grinding loudly, but he soon calmed down. "The puppet's goal is to make the monks tremble. We are monks in essence, so it's natural that we will be targeted by it."
If you encounter this kind of task, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.
Wei Sushen: "Don't worry too much, after all, they are always single."
Fang Shan seemed to hear the sound of wood cracking, which was the resentment coming from the puppet. His expression improved a lot: "After being isolated from the reproductive system for a long time, it will become a little abnormal."
The two looked at each other, Wei Sushen smiled faintly, while Fang Shan smiled like a standard witch.
The task has not been refreshed yet. According to the previous time, it will be released in the evening.
Fang Shan wanted to drink the famous osmanthus wine in the winery. Considering that the alcohol content was not high, Wei Sushen reluctantly agreed.
He walked towards the restaurant excitedly, but suddenly stopped and took a few steps back. A monk in the bookstore was smiling, but when he saw Fang Shan, he suddenly stopped smiling and stuffed the book into the shelf in a panic.
This scene aroused Fang Shan's suspicion. He quickly walked over and pulled out the book that the monk had haphazardly stuffed in there. It was a very thin booklet:
In the 228th year of Tianxuan, the forbidden land's holy artifact took shape, and Huangfu Aoshan and Xiong Batian stepped onto the stage of history, which was known as the "Double Saint Disaster."
——Excerpt from "History of Tianxuan Continent"
Fang Shan's expression changed, and the monk waved his hands repeatedly: "It's not written by me."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Fang Shan grabbed him and said, "We're not even dead yet, how come we're included in history books?"
The monk whispered, "Some people are legends while they are alive."
Fang Shan showed mercy and let the poor monk go, but then he saw Wei Sushen still standing at the door.
"Don't look up at the sky." Fang Shan pulled him in and showed him the unofficial history: "Host, aren't you surprised or angry?"
Wei Sushen glanced at him and continued to look up. It was something he had expected a long time ago, so why would he be surprised?
Fang Shan did not stay in this sad place any longer. He complained on the way: "What's the Twin Saints' Disaster? It's not domineering at all. The Proud Bear's Disaster is more suitable than this."
Osmanthus wine is truly unique, with a fragrance that spreads from ten miles away. One sip of it makes you feel as if all worries have been released.
Fang Shan sighed with satisfaction as he savored the food, forgetting the unpleasantness he had just felt.
The best seats in the restaurant were all occupied by alchemists. Fang Shan put down his wine jug, looked at the arrogant alchemists, and began to think: "Why don't we go make some pills too?"
Wei Sushen glanced at him and asked, "Do you think a holy weapon has a talent for alchemy?"
Fang Shan: "Then go and refine the weapon."
After a few drinks, the task was given at sunset:
A vessel carries all things and can carry the Tao.
To comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and achieve a breakthrough in the existing realm.
The first time I carried out a mission, the mode was basically to provide equipment for leveling up. Now, on the contrary, you are given a strong force value from the beginning. It is difficult to seek a breakthrough in this situation.
Fang Shan went outside to sober up, and said to Wei Sushen, "This requires the host to find his own path, just like most cultivators."
After all, Wei Sushen is not from this world. He did not rely on his own cultivation to improve his skills, which led to his shallow understanding of Tao.
Thinking of this, Fang Shan pursed his lips and said, "What has the host come into contact with before that can barely be called the Tao?"
Wei Sushen: "Tao Te Ching."
"..." Fang Shan: "Alright, that's great! I hope we can stay in this world hand in hand until the end of time."
The afterglow gradually faded, and when the moon circled in the sky, Fang Shan staggered towards the inn with a glass of wine in his hand.
He wanted to get drunk several times, but was stopped by Wei Sushen each time.
Fang Shan: "Don't bother me while I'm drinking to drown my sorrows."
Wei Sushen looked at him steadily, as if he had seen through Fang Shan's trick.
Fang Shan wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth: "...Okay, I admit, I was just looking for an excuse to get drunk."
No matter what you say, the task is more important.
Fang Shan put down the bottle and became a good employee at work again.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Some people were cultivating, while others were sleeping. Fang Shan began to give Wei Sushen a lesson: "What is the Tao? To defeat ten with force is the Tao, and to stop killing with killing is also the Tao..."
Fang Shan spoke quite concisely, and looked at Wei Sushen from time to time to urge him to take notes.
Many years after leaving school, Wei Sushen seemed to be back in the classroom again.
Fang Shan’s teaching method is very simple and crude. If you don’t understand something, just memorize it. If you memorize it a thousand times, you will always understand something.
Fang Shan also gave an example: "I've been asking around. Du Xuan is a sword cultivator, almost reaching the state of unity between man and sword. The Purple Dragon Divine Beast values physical strength and follows the path of bodybuilding to achieve sainthood. If you want to achieve success quickly, the host must find the path they most agree with."
He went out on purpose because it was getting late, and bought a few swords and placed them in front of Wei Sushen: "Host, you can try them all and see if there is anything you like."
The inn was not suitable for fighting with swords and guns, so the two came to a wilderness.
When Wei Sushen tried, Fang Shan imitated him and looked up at the sky.
Wei Sushen suddenly asked, "What is your Tao?"
Fang Shan: "Hidden weapon." After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Would you like to show it to me?"
Wei Sushen nodded.
Fang Shan took a deep breath and, using less than 10% of his strength, suddenly spat out dozens of bottle caps from his mouth.
Wei Sushen dodged quickly enough, but the two of them were too close and he was still hit by several people.
Fang Shan said seriously, "I will pass on my unique skill, Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers, to the host today. I hope it will inspire you."
Taking off one of the bottle caps that had fallen on his head, Wei Sushen's eyes flashed with enlightenment. He turned around, drew his long sword, and said slowly: "Think carefully, there may be a way to become a god directly."
Fang Shan: "What is it?"
Wei Sushen faced him and said word by word: "Kill the leader to prove the truth."
