Chapter 9: The Return
Can a postman have such courage and have such subordinates around him?
Zhou Bai was slightly shocked in his heart, and looked at these dozen or so people, and it was clear that they were all rare warriors in the army.
Li Lai was also a little surprised by Zhou Bai's bearing, empty-handed, alone, facing their group of strongmen who had just been killed from the chaos, his expression did not change, and he was frank and fearless.
Therefore, Li Lai was willing to talk to Zhou Bai, and it took several conversations to clarify the ins and outs.
It turned out that they came from places that were captured by the rebels, mostly from local soap soldiers, county soldiers, and even Li Lai was a small post house pawn.
In the face of the rebel surprise attack, the imperial army's army was unprepared and had no resistance to break through the city in an instant.
Most of them chose to surrender, but Li Lai was unwilling.
He relied on his past righteousness and heroism to gather his brothers, and only after several raids did he enter the area controlled by the imperial court.
wanted to re-annex, but the imperial court had already removed them, and even chased them as spies.
There was no way, in order to survive, Li Lai led everyone to fight a bloody way, so far there were only eighteen brothers left.
No, the rebels have been offended, and the court can't tolerate them, so they can only find another way.
Listening to it, Zhou Bai suddenly had a familiar feeling, isn't this a princely template for the troubled times in the future?
If I am in a situation and invest before I rise, will I also participate in the dynastic change?
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai immediately said to Li: "Xiaoqingshan is the residence of the mountain god, and it stands to reason that you can't let you be good at sword soldiers, but I have a fate with you, so I will fight for the gods for you, and maybe you can get the favor of the mountain god." ”
Li Lai and left and right looked at each other, hugged their fists and said, "Affected." ”
The main temple in the mountain, Zhou Bai stepped into the main hall non-stop, and then ordered the temple to invite the pilgrims away temporarily, and he wanted to communicate with the mountain god.
When the pilgrims heard that the mountain god might come, they did so and withdrew from the main hall to wait.
Sure enough, the people outside saw the divine light in the hall flickering, and the surrounding aromas gathered on the roof, condensing but not dispersing.
"Do you mean to let me support Li Lai and support him to do something in troubled times?" The mountain god who manifested the official robe asked solemnly.
He has not fully recovered his strength now, and he has spent all his energy combing the earth qi and cleaning up the demons, so he has been hiding in his own divine domain recently.
"In my opinion, the Dazhen Dynasty is now difficult to return, and the hope of Zhongxing is close to nothing, and the future of the world will be chaotic and the princes will compete for hegemony."
"There are no strict restrictions on the laws of the dynasty, and you, as a god, can greatly revitalize Shinto, just imagine what will happen to the gods if a new dynasty is established."
"Just like the previous dynasties, in order to stabilize the luck of humanity and suppress the gods, your best fate is to sleep and wait for the opportunity." Zhou Bai spoke eloquently and admonished the mountain god.
The mountain god was a little moved, but he was still worried: "If that kid under the mountain doesn't succeed and loses the battle for hegemony, what if I am targeted by the new dynasty?" ”
"So it depends on whether you dare to gamble, Li Lai doesn't need to be the last true dragon, even if it's just a prince, it can spread your faith and provide a favorable guarantee." Zhou Bai replied.
"If I am lucky, achieve the royal industry, and divide the territory for a hundred years, then I can be officially sealed, and it is no longer a problem to restore the previous red status.
If you are a little more lucky, open up a new dynasty, and have three hundred years of the world, then I can even explore the position of the golden edict! ”
"As for ...... Failure, that is naturally the destruction of the temple. Zhou Bai didn't need to continue, the calm heart lake of the mountain god had already made waves, and he said the next words.
His eyes were shining, and when he looked down the mountain, Zhou Bai knew that he was observing Li Lai, so he didn't say anything and waited quietly.
However, it didn't take long for the mountain god to withdraw his probing powers, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
"This son is very lucky, but it is also worth investing, you tell Li Lai, and order him to stay in the temple tonight." The mountain god's voice was no longer calm, as if he had made a decision.
Zhou Bai bowed his head, and then bowed deeply: "According to the oracle, the kid still has one more thing to ask for, please fulfill the agreement and give me three points of luck." ”
"What's the use of your luck now? Do you also want to get involved in the troubled times of the world? The mountain god said with some confusion.
Ran Zhou Bai just shook his head and looked at the mountain god quietly, looking like he wanted to fulfill his promise.
"That's it, it's just a three-point gas calculation." The mountain god said with a slight annoyance, and then shook his palm towards the void, and the three sticks of incense suddenly manifested in front of Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai was overjoyed, but first saluted respectfully, and then took the incense stick that was condensed into a real thing.
Because he obviously saw the pain on the face of the mountain god, he was afraid that this luck would not be good.
"A stick of incense is equal to a stream of red luck, and if you light it, you can bless yourself, go ahead." The mountain god may be really distressed, but he just explained it simply, and waved Zhou Bai out of the hall.
The believers who knelt down outside were shocked when they saw Zhou Bai flying out, and their prayers became a little more pious.
"Ahem, the mountain god is very recognizant of you, and I hope to make persistent efforts." Zhou Bai almost didn't stand firm, and was surrounded by the crowd, so he naturally wanted to leave the scene.
So in the greeting of the divine envoy, Zhou Bai happily went down the mountain.
What happened after that didn't cost him much effort, and Li Lai, who was almost cornered, had no choice.
Even if the statement of "staying at the mountain temple overnight, the gods come in a dream" is too absurd, he still chooses to agree.
After all, as long as they stayed for one night, Xiao Qingshan would be able to accept them and settle down temporarily.
……
The last day passed quietly, and Zhou Bai looked at the three incense sticks, not only handing over the follow-up development matters with the temples, but also privately exchanging some "dragon slaying techniques" with Li Lai.
Of course, it is his dedication that has become the cause and effect of the general trend of the future.
When dawn broke, Zhou Bai's thatched hut in He Dong quietly disappeared, leaving behind the phantom of the bronze door shattered in the void, which was only a glimpse.
The moment he returned to the main world, Zhou Bai was still quite uncomfortable, a slight alienation from his body, dizziness in the depths of his soul, and so on.
But he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately looked at the Heavenly Book of Luck for the first time.
On the last page after flipping, the bronze gate is nowhere to be seen, and the target world cannot be selected, not randomly.
Only one line of entry is missing, and he can change his name using his mind.
[World: Dazhen (coordinates recorded)]
It seems that it can't be crossed continuously for the time being, but it should be possible to return to the truth in the future, and there is no need to face random uncertainty every time.
Zhou Bai hurriedly turned to the first page of the Book of Luck Heaven, and the information on it was the harvest of two busy months.
[Luck: Lack of life, descendants of the villagers] (You have no life, such as rootless duckweed, which is not tolerated by the world; Born in the seventh room of the Zhou family, he is blessed by the luck of some villagers. )
[Status: Qi deficiency and weakness, favored by the mountain gods] (Ten years of cold windows, no positive fruits, very susceptible to wind evil; You have the favor mark of the little green mountain god on your body, which may affect the perception of you by other gods. )
【Skill: None】
[Origin Point: One Hundred and Thirty-One] (You have a glimpse of the extraordinary power of the "Great Truth" world, helping the mountain god to recover, and winning his favor, the origin point has increased slightly; You unearth the dormant dragon, send charcoal in the snow, and guide it on the road to supremacy, greatly increasing the origin point. )
[Can be manifested: Qi luck incense, Qi Vision, Bow Technique]
