Chapter 22: There’s also Lao Liu!

Apart from the episode involving Monk Shenxiu, the banquet was quite successful.

Although the other guests did not give top-level treasures such as Qilin Blood and Dragon Patterned Spear, the gifts they gave in exchange for military honors were all very valuable.

Zhou Tieyi took a glance at the gift list. Wow, the gifts he received this time alone amounted to at least ten thousand taels of silver, and this was in addition to the materials for cultivation.

"Brother, if I hold a big banquet every month, will I be able to support a private army?"

Zhou Tiege sat on a chair, his expression focused on his hands. He made one hand into a palm and the other into a gun, fighting with both hands, as if he was imitating something.

Hearing Zhou Tieyi's question, Zhou Tiege didn't raise his head and replied, "That requires you to be the best in the country every time you break through, then these military merits will be kind enough to honor you, not to mention that it's not easy to receive this gift."

"Are you talking about the Qilin blood sent by Yuchi Mansion and the dragon-patterned spear sent by the Fourth Prince?"

Among today's gifts, these are the only two that cannot be valued in terms of price.

"It seems that General Yuchi and His Majesty want our Zhou family to charge in the front."

Zhou Tiege sighed, then raised his head and said to Zhou Tieyi confidently, "But you don't have to worry too much about this matter. Once I defeat the monk, the problem will be solved."

Brother, do you know that planting the flag in advance is a taboo in military strategy?

Zhou Tieyi secretly complained, and seeing Zhou Tiege still gesturing with his hands, he asked, "Brother, have you figured out the magical power of that thief bald today?"

Zhou Tiege nodded, then shook his head, and said, "Today we tested each other. That monk does have some skills. Calling him a thief bald is simply underestimating others and himself."

Despise your opponent strategically and respect your opponent tactically.

I see.

Zhou Tieyi nodded repeatedly.

But you were the one who called this bald thief first.

Seeing that Zhou Tieyi didn't take Shenxiu seriously, Zhou Tiege reminded him, "One of the three treasures of Fahua Temple, the [Painting of Buddha Subduing Demons], was painted by a great sage in the previous dynasty when he was viewing the sea of ​​blood. It contains a Buddhist doctrine called [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm]. If you can cultivate it, no matter how many incarnations you have, you cannot escape the palm of Buddha."

"When the monk Shenxiu attacked today, even I was not sure I could defeat him."

"So you still agreed to come down and fight?"

Zhou Tiege smiled, knowing that his brother didn't know many secrets of cultivation, and explained, "The way of the military strategist, although it comes from one person's bravery, but without one person's bravery, I can't defeat him. But if I get the help of the right time, the right place, and the right people, then the east wind will prevail over the west wind."

He put down his palm, "I am the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards. If he wants to suppress me in front of thousands of soldiers, it depends on whether this monk has the ability to do so!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Tiege was also ready to give it a try.

The champion marquis of this dynasty once said that there are two major regrets for warriors in the world.

One regret led directly to the first grade, but the holy path was not seen.

The second regret is that I am in my prime, but I have no rivals.

······
In Qilin Pavilion, after Bai Mei was dismissed, Zhou Tieyi looked at the big trouble in front of him with a gloomy expression.

A wisp of divine power, which is almost invisible, connects to himself through Guan Guan. This is Guan Guan confirming the situation of the divine seed in his body.

Zhou Tieyi had just suffered a loss at the hands of Shenxiu today, so naturally he would not reveal any of his thoughts and just pretended not to know.

The divine seed in him still exists, but it has secretly changed its owner.

Guan Guan sensed the divine seed a little bit and confirmed that it had fallen into Zhou Tieyi's sea of ​​qi. She asked in a charming voice, "Young Master, did you use the divine seed to break through your sea of ​​qi?"

Zhou Tieyi didn't respond well either, and replied coldly, "Isn't this asking even though you already know the answer?"

Even though he did not have the highest authority over the God Seed, the God Seed itself was still helpful for the warrior's Qi and blood cultivation. Guan Guan smiled, "I am just surprised at your boldness. If you use the God Seed to break through the barrier, you will be lost in the will of our Lord if you are not careful... Or... do you have a way to resist the invasion of our Lord's will?"

The main event is coming!
What happened to Shenxiu today has already shown that there are many smart people in this era.

"When I was young, the Taiyi Temple Master touched my head and left some restrictions that I didn't know about. When the whispering voice of the Blood Sea Lord sounded, a Taoist scripture came out of my mind, which could resist erosion."

"What sutra is this?"

"It is the foundation of Taoism, the five thousand words of morality. Why don't you believe me?"

Zhou Tieyi asked back, opening his hands, "You touched me all over that day, you can touch me again today."

Guan Guan stretched out his hand and pressed it on Zhou Tieyi's chest, feeling his pulse. "How could I not believe you? Now you are Guan Guan's man in life and Guan Guan's ghost in death. I am so heartbroken."

Feeling the tingling numbness like an electric shock in his chest, Zhou Tieyi put his arms around Guan Guan, taking the initiative, feeling the beauty like mutton-fat jade in his hands, and sighed in his heart, you are a beautiful woman, but you are a thief.

"You can't live in Zhou's house!"

Guan Guan was hugged by Zhou Tieyi, but she was not annoyed and let Zhou Tieyi take advantage of her. "Young Master, are you afraid of getting involved with the Nine Ancient Gods and bringing disaster upon your family? I thought you had thought it through and knew you couldn't get rid of me."

Guan Guan said confidently.

Even if Zhou Tieyi reported himself to the emperor now, he would not be able to erase the fact that he had been planted with the divine seed. The best outcome would be to spend his whole life in the Heavenly Prison.

Zhou Tieyi guided the original owner's memories and emotions to gain the upper hand, tightened his arms slightly, and said with a determined look, "I can be shattered to pieces, but the Zhou family cannot fall! If you don't agree with this, at worst, we will both perish together today!"

Guan Guan's fingers moved upward from Zhou Tieyi's heart, like a little snake, across his neck, stroking his tough jaw with a little bit of scum. Feeling the determination of the man beside her, she turned her fingers into soft, fleshy cat claws, scratching his ears, "Young Master, you really make Guan Guan's heart beat."

Then she easily broke free, the charm between her eyebrows faded, and she looked lazily at her palm. With just a wave of her hand, she could decide the life and death of millions of people.

It was just a plain white shirt, but she wore it in an unrivaled elegance.

"Although the monk today was annoying, he said something right. You have the aura of a dragon. It would be a pity to give you up so easily."

"Don't worry. Although Tianjing is high, it can't reach my god who is as high as the sun and the moon. You have also felt the effect of the god seed. Unless His Majesty the Great Xia personally examines your body, no one can find out."

You are too confident, Zhou Tieyi complained in his heart, and then rolled his eyes.

Monk Shenxiu took out the [Buddha Subduing the Demon] painting, which depicted the Buddha suppressing the head of the sea of ​​blood. Naturally, this made the evil woman dislike him. Perhaps he could make use of this matter and drive the tiger to devour the wolf.

"Since you think I'm useful, you might as well give me more help. The stronger I am, the more I can strike at the Queen Zhao family and help you provoke a fight between the military meritorious and the in-laws."

Guan Guan walked to a gilded plum vase with two inner and outer gallbladders, and pinched off the plum blossoms stuck in it with his fingers. "Do you think that I used the divine seed method to control you that day just to provoke a fight between the in-laws and the military heroes?"

"Is not it?"

Zhou Tieyi asked back.

"That's what Anle Prince Li Jing wanted to do. I just went with the flow and wanted to test Zhao Fuer."

"Zhao Fuer?"

Zhou Tieyi said in surprise.

There is actually Lao Liu!

He tried hard to recall the scene of his meeting with Zhao Fuer. If this Zhao Fuer was really Lao Liu, then his level must be terrifyingly high.

Moreover, when he looked at the clouds above Zhao Fu'er's head, they were red with a hint of blue-purple, nothing special at all, and similar to the situation of the witch Guan Guan!
