Chapter 792: Serving the Lord
After a stick of incense.
On the main road in Black Weasel City, Han Li and the others walked in a hurry, heading straight for the north gate.
At this moment, if it weren't for the fear of attracting more attention, they would have already taken off the shuttle and fled.
"For the rest of the journey, I'm afraid that it won't be stable again. Han Li frowned and spoke.
"Who knows if the luck is so bad, who is not good, but I met the Weasel Army. But it's okay to leave these Ten Afflicted Mountains early. Shi Chuankong only felt unfortunate and sighed.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they stopped at the same time, and looked ahead with a stiff expression, as if they were facing a great enemy.
I saw that in front of the avenue, among the crowds coming and going, there was a young scholar wearing a square scarf and a delicate face, holding a scroll in his hand and walking towards them, wearing a blue Confucian shirt wrinkled with some ripples, looking extremely elegant.
Han Li and Shi Chuankong glanced at each other, and both of them smiled bitterly in their hearts.
Although it was the first time they had seen someone, they were no strangers, it was the famous Black Weasel King!
The black ferret king walked slowly, his temperament was pleasant, there was no ripple on his body, and he looked exactly like a scholar in the world, with a faint smile on his face, and he looked harmless to humans and animals.
When he got closer, he held the scroll in both hands, and in the posture of a scholar, he gave a slight salute to Han Li and the others, and took the initiative to speak: "Thirteen princes, you have come to Black Weasel City, and you have lost your distance. ”
Shi Chuankong only froze slightly, and a gentle smile also appeared on his face, and he returned the salute respectfully, and said:
"The seniors are like this, but it's really torturous for the juniors. ”
Han Li frowned slightly, and didn't say anything, just followed suit.
"This is not the place to speak, nor is it the hospitality of my Weasel City, why don't you move a few steps and sit in my Yuxiu Palace?" Seeing this, the Black Weasel King smiled a little more sincere with a smile on his face, and invited.
"That's a nuisance. Shi Chuankong had no room to refuse, so he had to say.
The Black Weasel King smiled when he heard this, and said the word "please", but with a wave of his palm, a black light lit up under the three of them at the same time.
Immediately afterward, they came to a verdant garden that covered an extremely large area.
In the garden, strange flowers and plants are all over, craggy and strange stones are dotted, the winding path is secluded among the lush forests and bamboos, the birdsong is tactful in the elegant silence, and there are many pavilions and pavilions scattered among them, the design is very exquisite and chic, it can be described as a step and a scene, and it is extremely beautiful.
As a few people go all the way deeper, the scenery in the garden is very changeable, the first section is still a purple and red spring bloom, the latter section will become a snowy scenery wrapped in silver makeup, there are all kinds of rare beasts, but also very peculiar.
"Senior Weasel, I have long heard that there is a 'Range Rover Garden' in your Weasel City, which has pleasant scenery and different scenery in four seasons. Shi Chuankong lagged slightly by half a position and spoke.
"It's just a rough scenery in the village, how can it compare to the scenery in Yeyang City?" said the Black Weasel King, but a look of smugness flashed in his eyes.
Neither of them mentioned the previous conflict with the Weasel Army and their son, so they chatted all the way to a vermilion building.
"Thirteen princes, let's talk about it in the Zhongling Palace, let's invite this powerful Taoist friend to move to the Spring Water Hall to drink tea for a while, okay?" Coming to a vermilion hall with a glazed roof, the Black Weasel King stopped and spoke.
Han Li's gaze narrowed slightly, looking at Shi Chuankong, who nodded silently at him.
"But by the orders of the ferret's seniors. Shi Chuankong said with a smile.
After that, Han Li was led by a delicate-looking palace lady in front of the hall, walked through the corridors, and went to the Spring Water Palace, while Shi Chuankong followed the Black Weasel King to Yuxiu Palace.
Entering the Spring Water Palace, there was already a standing attendant Gong E offering tea, so Han Li sat quietly in the hall and tasted the tea carefully.
On the other side, in the Zhongling Temple.
Shi pierced the sky and followed the black weasel king, one after the other, into the main hall.
The door of the hall closed slowly, and Shi Chuankong's face was as usual, but there was faint sweat oozing out of his back.
He looked around the interior of the main hall and saw that this place did not look like a meeting place, but like a study house.
Two-thirds of the entire hall was occupied by large ebony bookshelves, on which were neatly placed cyan books, densely packed with hundreds of thousands of volumes.
After Shi Chuankong swept through it, he found that most of these books were poetry anthologies and market customs, which were also mixed with Taoist classics and Buddhist Zen principles, and there were few cultivation exercises.
On the walls of the hall, there are also some beautifully framed calligraphy, most of the writing on it is also ancient poetry, and some prophecies of Buddhism and Taoism, the handwriting can only be said to be in the middle and stable, not to mention how much wind and bones.
"The predecessors of the black ferret are elegant, the Tibetan scroll is like smoke, and the penmanship is strong, and the younger generation admires it. Shi Chuankong endured the discomfort in his heart and praised him.
"In this wild and reckless place, there are all uncivilized people who drink blood and hair, and there are too few people who can see pearls like the Thirteen Princes, and it is no wonder that I hit you off at first sight, haha......" The Black Weasel King laughed heartily.
"By the way, I had some conflicts with Ling Lang in the city before, and it was really ......" Before Shi Chuankong could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Black Weasel King waving his hand.
"It's all petty fights, you don't have to worry about it. I invited you to my Yuxiu Palace, for the sake of such a trivial matter?"
"Since it's not for this little thing, then it must be for some big thing, right?" Shi Chuankong asked with a slightly condensed expression.
"Hehe, the Thirteenth Prince is a smart man, so I won't beat around the bush. Now that there are many twists and tricks in Yeyang City because of the 'inheritance', the entire holy domain is surging, and many forces are making choices. Although our Ten Tribulations Mountains are located in remote areas and have always been taken seriously, once the time comes, they will inevitably be affected. So, I had to plan ahead. The Weasel King walked over to a bookshelf, put the book back in his hand, and spoke.
"Regarding the matter of 'inheritance', the Holy Clan has always been secretive, and I have no intention of fighting for it. I just don't want to leave the Sanctuary for a long time, and when I returned recently, it was already so troublesome. Shi Chuankong sighed and said.
"Since it is a pearl, no matter where it is invested, there will always be a day when it shines, and even if the Thirteen Princes do not return to the Holy Domain, they will not be able to escape the gaze of others. The Black Weasel King's eyes were vague, and he seemed to smile rather than smile.
"Why did the black ferret senior say this?" Shi Chuankong naturally heard what he meant, raised his eyebrows, and said with a little surprise.
"As we all know, among the thirteen heirs of the Holy Lord, the Great Prince Shi Chopping Wind has the most extensive and strongest power. The only one who can compete with it is the most talented third prince Shi Pokong. And you and the third prince were born to the same mother, and the relationship is the closest, so the outside world knows that you must be under the command of the third prince. The Black Weasel King said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"I see, Senior Black Weasel wants to use me to bet on my third brother?"
"Before I first received the order to hunt down the eldest prince, I was going to bet on him, after all, the benefits he promised me were too rich. However, when I learned that you and your servant had killed the two warriors of the Golden Rhinoceros one after another, my mind was shaken. The Black Stoat King continued.
Shi Chuankong's brows frowned slightly, knowing that the black ferret had misunderstood Han Li's identity, and suddenly remembered that Han Li had said that when he escaped from the Golden Rhino pursuit, he had felt another powerful aura.
"Senior Black Weasel, at the border before, could it be that you helped that the Golden Rhino didn't continue to chase us?"
"Yes, in fact, I had been following you until then. However, I originally wanted to wait for you to be forced by him to use all your means and fight with him before you can reap the benefits. It's just that after seeing you escape from him twice, I changed my mind and decided to protect you and switch to the Three Princes. But now......" The Black Weasel King was halfway through his words, when he suddenly stopped, and looked at Shi Piercing Sky playfully.
Shi Chuankong suddenly felt a tense body, but then relaxed again, and his eyes calmly met the black ferret.
It's got to the point where the situation can't get any worse.
"Haha...... After seeing the deity, I decided to bet on the Thirteen Princes, you. The Stoat King laughed.
Shi Chuankong only felt a little unable to believe his ears, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked:
"You're going to bet on me...... Why?"
"I said it was because of the Thirteen Princes' discernment, and I reciprocated the peach, do you believe it or not?" asked the Black Weasel King with a reined smile.
"Senior, what are you ......" Shi Chuankong shook his head without hesitation, wanting to say something more.
"The Thirteen Princes have great potential, but they haven't shown it yet. Besides, being able to have such support and support around him, and being strangled by the eldest prince at any cost, can already explain a lot of problems. The Black Stoat King said with a smile.
"The predecessors of the black ferret are bold and powerful, and the juniors admire ......" Shi Chuankong smiled noncommittally and said slowly.
"Since the Thirteen Princes have no objections, let's talk about some real ...... next," the Black Weasel King said with a smile.
......
Time flickered, and half a day passed.
Han Li had been drinking tea in the Spring Water Palace, and no one came to talk to him during this time, only a few enchanting palace ladies kept buying him tea.
His face was as calm as water, but his heart was rippling and full of worries.
Just when his patience was about to run out and he was about to break down the door, he saw Shi Chuankong and the Black Weasel King walking in from outside the hall with a smile, looking like the guests and hosts were happy.
"It's rare to have a distinguished guest in the Black Weasel City, you can stay in this Yuxiu Palace for a while longer, so that I can do my best to be a landlord, as for returning to the city, don't worry too much, I will arrange it." The Black Stoat King said with a smile.
"Then there is Lao Weasel senior. Shi Chuankong also said with a smile.
After that, under the arrangement of the Black Weasel King, the two of them temporarily lived in a side hall in Yuxiu Palace.
