Chapter 13: The Immortal Sayings
The believers of the Dark God, Tang Guanshu and others, were pinned on high hopes by Hua Xia Jiu to completely solve the problem of his energy source.
In view of the poor self-protection ability of Tang Guanshu and others, for the sake of insurance, Huaxia Jiu still had to take care of these hundreds of people for a period of time. So judging from the current situation, it is better for him to stay in Heba City.
In addition, as Xu Jianhong said, this is a war between humans and demons, and under the influence of the three laws of robots, Huaxia Jiu instinctively wants to protect humans. So for the war with the demon clan, not only is he not disgusted, but he also has some faint expectations.
As for why he thought about it for a long time just now, and only gave a positive answer after Xu Jianhong was tempted, it was because he instinctively made some reasoning calculations in his brain.
Whewββββ
Seeing that Hua Xia Jiu finally agreed to stay in the Steel Tooth Legion, Xu Jianhong's city government couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. Originally, although Hua Xia Jiu was 'excellent', it would not make Xu Jianhong value it so much, and the reason why this was so was naturally because he still had selfishness in his heart, and he had the selfishness of forming a chance with the legendary cultivation sect that pursued the path of immortality.
Because he happened to know a story. A few years ago, a prince who was about to die was given an elixir because of his relationship with the cultivation sect, and his life span was extended by ten years.
Immortality is always the innate instinct of every creature, although I have never heard of anyone who has truly achieved immortality, but being able to extend life is enough for any intelligent creature to do many things for it, no matter how great the probability of achieving this purpose is, or even ethereal.
Based on this mentality, the few requirements that Huaxia Jiu needed to meet not only did not make Xu Jianhong embarrassed and dissatisfied, but made him secretly happy in his heart, and he couldn't wait to let Huaxia Jiu make more requirements, of course, provided that he could meet these requirements.
Therefore, as soon as Huaxia Jiu's voice fell, Xu Jianhong said without hesitation: "Say it! I will try my best to satisfy you." β
Hua Xia Jiu was a little surprised by this, he didn't expect that Xu Jianhong had already faintly revealed that any of your requests would be met by Xu Jianhong without making specific requests, and he secretly guessed that it might be related to the 'experience' that Xu Jianhong said. Hua Xia Jiu was worried that Xu Jianhong, Huang Tianzhong and others would see the flaws, so he never gave any explanation for his identity, and when the other party said tentative words such as 'experience', he also ambiguously avoided talking about it.
"Well, I have three requirements, one is that I want to have my own independent living environment, and no one can enter or interfere with it without my permission. The second is that I have the right to refuse some of the tasks you have assigned to me, of course, under normal circumstances, I will do what I am told. The third is that I like sunshine, and where I live, I want it to be sunny. Although Hua Xia Jiu's facial expression did not change, the solemn meaning in his words was obvious.
When Xu Jianhong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, except for the second condition, which was expected, or quite normal. The other two conditions seem too simplistic and child's play, or a little strange.
"Okay, I have met all these three conditions, and this afternoon I will prepare the corresponding documents and your residence in place. Although Xu Jianhong had an accident in his heart, he did not show the slightest hint in his expression.
.........
In the center of Heba City, the military management area, about a mile away from Xu Jianhong's mansion, in front of a rather elegant mansion covering an area of several acres.
Hua Xia Jiu glanced at some kind of strange beast stone carvings standing on both sides of the gate, and under the leadership of a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper, he stepped through the red carved lacquer gate and walked towards the mansion.
As far as the eye can see, behind the door is a basketball-sized garden, with small bridges and flowing water, rockeries, strange flowers and plants everywhere, and a wide stone path runs through the garden and leads to the depths of the mansion. At the end of the trail is a rather majestic area of stone, wood and brick houses, with a dozen or so houses, separated by lawns on two floors, each with a seemingly solid stone attic.
In the entire mansion, except for a few small purple trees that were one person high, there was not a single slightly larger tree. So that there are few shady places in the mansion, and it is a little more hot out of thin air.
Although the environment of the mansion is elegant and atmospheric, Hua Xia Jiu does not have much feeling about it. Except for the two attics that made him look twice, thinking that he could arrange the corresponding observation and warning points, he was only concerned with the sunlight coverage in the mansion, which he was very satisfied with.
Outside the living room in the middle of the mansion, Hua Xia Jiu was a little reluctant to be reluctantly reminded by the housekeeper to break away from the sunshine and walk in.
In the living room, Hua Xia Jiu looked at the table of food in front of him, and couldn't help frowning secretly in his heart, smiling bitterly.
You have to be surrounded by humans who can be trusted or controlled, otherwise the problem of not being able to eat and drink will be a very headache and dangerous thing.
Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of Tang Guanshu and other believers. With these people's devotion to the god of darkness and their identity as dark oracles, these people are not completely trustworthy human beings, but they are also controllable human beings.
After Hua Xia Jiu asked the housekeeper and the maid to step down, he began to contact Tang Guanshu through Bluetooth wireless earbuds.
.........
Tang Guanshu was originally a little disappointed that he could not serve beside the Divine Envoy, so after receiving the news from the Divine Envoy, he excitedly and carefully selected two five men, seven capable and steady, the most devout believers of the Dark God, and couldn't wait to rush to the mansion where the Divine Envoy had settled.
After Hua Xia Jiu briefly met with Tang Guanshu and other seven people who seemed to be fanatics, and arranged some precautions, he couldn't wait to sit in front of a stone table on the lawn outside the house and bask in the sun.
The stone table is located in the center of the lawn, next to an artificial canal, next to four circular stone benches. There is no shelter on either side, and there are two stone paths that lead to the house in the center of the mansion and the stone attic on the other side.
At this time, Hua Xia Jiu was holding a book in his hand and reading it with relish, but the speed was scary, which could be described as dozens of lines at a glance. And the stone table next to it was full of books, not to mention forty or fifty books, which Hua Xia Jiu found from the study in the mansion.
.........
The next day, in the early hours of the morning, the fog thinned.
In the center of Heba City, the tallest building in town, in a five-story attic.
Xu Jianhong stood in front of the window and looked at Washington from afar. You can vaguely see the scene of Hua Xia Jiu lying on a chair reading a book in the courtyard of Washington.
Five steps behind Xu Jianhong, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper bowed his body and said something carefully, his forehead was covered with sweat. It was the original butler in Washington.
After half a ring, Xu Jianhong slowly turned his body and glanced at the middle-aged man, his eyes were like knives. The latter fell to his knees with a thud under Xu Jianhong's terrifying gaze, his expression full of horror.
"In this way, including you, all the original thirteen servants in Washington were dismissed without giving any reason. Xu Jian's red eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his voice was cold.
"The adults spare their lives, and the villains are true, and there is no lie. The middle-aged man obviously had a certain understanding of Xu Jianhong's temperament and felt the killing intent of the other party.
Xu Jianhong glanced at the middle-aged man whose expression was gradually turning gray, turned his body to look out of the window again, and said, "You go down!"
The middle-aged man bowed down gratefully as if he had been granted amnesty, and then bowed and retreated.
"Is it the legendary penance, or there is a secret that can't be revealed, but why did you let the seven people of Tangjia Town stay, it seems that Hua Xia Jiu and these survivors of Tangjia Town have a closer relationship than I imagined, or just have a special relationship with those seven people. It seems that I should take more care of the hundreds of refugees in Tangjia Town. Xu Jianhong looked thoughtful.
Hua Xia Jiu used one day to read nearly 1,000 books in the study room in Fuzhong, to be precise, he scanned them with an electronic eye, and classified the contents into categories and stored them in his brain.
Through the contents of these books, he has some vague understanding of the energy system of this world. In particular, one of the books called "The Origin and Development of Human Cultivation" gave Hua Xia Jiu a higher level of understanding of this world.
As mentioned in the book, since ancient times, human beings have seen the world around them, all kinds of strange things, such as lightning and thunder, storms and other natural disasters**, resulting in countless casualties and sorrows, and it is absolutely impossible for human beings to do and resist.
Then he thought that outside the world, above the nine heavens, there were all kinds of gods. Under the Nine Shadows, the Netherworld Soul Realm is also the place where the ghosts return, the hall of the dead.
So the saying of the gods has been passed down to the world. Countless human people sincerely bowed to the various gods they imagined and created, prayed for blessings and grievances, and the incense was prosperous.
Therefore, some people who are born with strange abilities or who have cultivated strong cultivation skills have taken advantage of this to pretend to be gods and ghosts, collect the power of faith, and become false gods, in vain to pursue immortality.
In addition, under the driving force of the pursuit of immortality, for countless years, generations of intelligent and intelligent people, going forward and successively, devoting their whole lives to study, and finally there are some people who cultivate the true Tao and practice a little bit of heaven and earth, with the body of a mortal, master the power of tyranny, with the power of various secret treasures and magic weapons, they can shake the heavens and the earth, have the power of thunder, and increase longevity, and can survive for tens of thousands of years without dying. People in the world think that if they have attained the Tao and become immortals, more people will devote themselves to the path of cultivating the true Dao.
In the present world, human beings are prosperous and popular, and alien races are forced to retreat into the poor mountains and bad waters. There are many people in the world who cultivate the true Tao like a carp crossing the river, and there are countless of them, so there are many ways of cultivating them, and they are all different, and they are gradually divided into sects. The views of the gateway that arise from it, the competition for cultivation resources and the control of the world, intrigue, and even fighting and killing abound. Therefore, the world that respects the strong has gradually formed.

Four shifts a day, and two more. Just for collections, for all kinds of ticketsββββ
