Chapter 245 Shen Gongbao's Thoughts
Yang Jiao knew that mosquitoes were inherently never full.
Even if they suck until their belly swells up, they will still keep sucking.
It can even cause blood to run intoxication.
Before they suck blood, mosquitoes are impossible to swatt, but once they've drunk human blood, you can swat them one by one.
Looking at the unsatisfied expression on Mosquito Taoist's face, Yang Jiao said helplessly:
"It's not that I don't want to give more, it's just that there's no mother beast's milk right now."
Mosquito Taoist was currently preoccupied with the most delicious milk tea in the world, and immediately got up.
"I'm going to find the mythical beast!"
Yang Jiao quickly grabbed her and reminded her:
"Don't forget, you can't take action here. If you get involved in karma, you'll be listed on the Investiture of the Gods."
When the mosquitoes become mosquito fairies, they'll have to go to work!
After much coaxing, Yang Jiao finally managed to pull the Mosquito Taoist back. She stroked the Mosquito Taoist's smooth, long hair and gently comforted her:
"Be good, mosquito! There will only be more and more mythical beasts appearing in the subsequent War of the Gods, and we'll definitely be able to drink our fill!"
These words planted a seed in the heart of Mosquito Daoist.
After that, her only hobby in the Investiture of the Gods was to peek at other people's mounts from the clouds to see if they were male or female.
Before Yang Jiao could even return to Zhou's camp.
A sword flew from the Qinglong Pass city wall, piercing through it with a whoosh, leaving half an inch outside, and then a huge spiderweb-like crack appeared along the breach.
Jiang Ziya immediately threw down the bucket, climbed onto the city wall, and gazed down.
After a moment of surprise, he asked loudly:
"May I ask who you are, fellow Daoist? Please come out and meet me."
He had barely finished speaking.
I felt the earth shaking.
Four enormous figures emerged from the rising dust.
Jiang Ziya frowned, not recognizing him, but Huang Feihu, the general behind him, was startled. He had once fought alongside them when they were conquering the Shang Dynasty.
His face was filled with fear as he looked at Jiang Ziya and said:
"These are the four demon generals of Kowloon Island. They were the former generals of Jiameng Pass. Their cultivation is high, and their magic weapons are even more powerful. Prime Minister, I'm afraid Qinglong Pass will be taken back by the Yin Shang."
"No rush." Jiang Ziya pondered, looking at the four people below him who were several times taller than normal people. "Let me think about it."
On the other hand, let's look at Yang Jiao's side.
Yang Jiao, who was high in the mountains, was also shocked when he saw the four people.
The Four Demon Generals, from now on—the Four Heavenly Kings.
Each of them was in charge of ensuring favorable weather and abundant harvests.
Mo Liqing wielded the Qingyun Sword.
Mo Lihong holds the Hunyuan Umbrella.
Mo Lihai, Jade Pipa.
Mo Lishou, Flower Fox Sable.
These four demon generals are a tough nut to crack.
Mosquito Taoist, chin in hand, looked at the four tall figures who seemed to be able to touch the clouds, and pouted with a regretful sigh:
"They have no mounts."
Aren't you tired of walking all this way? You might as well keep an elephant as a mount.
Mosquito Taoist now judges people by only one standard: whether they have a mount.
Those with mounts are only given a perfunctory friendly look.
But if the mount is female, she can laugh at anyone who comes along for an entire day.
"These four don't seem like good people."
Yang Jiao gave a soft "hmm," wondering what Jiang Ziya should do.
Currently, Zhou's camp only has Huang Feihu and his son, the injured Jinzha and Muzha, and Nezha is away on a business trip, leaving no one available.
While Yang Jiao was worrying about Jiang Ziya,
Above Qinglong Pass,
Suddenly, a sign of truce was hung up.
It's unclear when this rule started, but even if the two sides in a war hate each other so much they want to devour each other's flesh and blood, they won't attack as long as a truce is raised.
Yang Jiao rubbed her forehead.
murmured:
"It really is just like the original story."
The Jie Sect kept sending people down the mountain. Whenever someone came, the Chan Sect would put up a truce and wait for Jiang Ziya's reinforcements to arrive before continuing the fight.
Yang Jiao felt a little sorry for the Jie Sect.
They are all monsters that seem to be doing evil, but they are actually more law-abiding than those from reputable sects.
If they had ignored this damned truce sign, Xiqi would have been captured three times already.
We have to wait for the real experts to arrive before giving them a good beating.
Mosquito Taoist's gaze suddenly stopped on the other side of the mountain. He touched Yang Jiao's shoe with his toe and said with a sharp look in his eyes:
"It's a mount!"
Following the gaze of the Mosquito Taoist, Yang Jiao looked up.
Looking at the person sitting on the black tiger at the other end of the mountain, it was none other than Shen Gongbao, the Grand Preceptor of the Yin Shang Dynasty.
How did he get here?
Logically, Shen Gongbao should have urged the four demon generals to disregard morality and simply take Qinglong Pass.
Why is he still staring so intently at Jiang Ziya, who doesn't even know he's there?
What secrets do these former fellow disciples hold?
Before Yang Jiao could figure it out, the Mosquito Taoist had already happily flown over, greeting her with a smile as he approached:
"Master Daoist, it's been a long time!"
Shen Gongbao heard the voice and turned around to see Mosquito Taoist!
Do you know how impactful that is?
This girl hit someone, and it really hurt!
He instinctively gripped the black-spotted tiger tightly, ready to run away at any moment.
Startled, his mount let out a neigh.
Mosquito Taoist thought the black-spotted tiger was adorable and could even meow.
He waved his hand and bent down to greet it:
"Long time no see, Mother Tiger."
It's male! A male tiger! It's just that the black-spotted tiger can't speak, and it doesn't dare to argue with this woman who could slap it so hard it could be driven into a rock.
The black-spotted tiger was so frightened that it trembled and its limbs went weak, causing Shen Gongbao on top of it to tremble as well.
Yang Jiao landed among them, frowned, and asked:
"Why is Daoist Shen here in this desolate border region instead of at the palace?"
Shen Gongbao knew that Jiang Ziya valued the young girl before him highly, and he also knew that her identity must be special. He looked away and said softly:
"Let's see when my senior brother can complete the tasks assigned by his senior uncles and elder brothers."
The profound meaning in his gaze was something Yang Jiao couldn't quite decipher.
Shen Gongbao felt utterly alone at that moment, as if he were the only one walking on a journey with the same destination but completely opposite paths.
"Master Shen..." Yang Jiao couldn't help but ask, "Back then, when Yuanshi Tianzun decided to hand over the Investiture of the Gods to Prime Minister Jiang, you didn't need to betray the Chan Sect, which only caused you to attract criticism from all sides."
Shen Gongbao paused for a moment.
Among so many people in the Three Realms, and many of his fellow disciples in the Chan Sect, not a single one knew of Shen Gongbao.
"Different paths lead to the same destination, aren't they all the same?"
He disdained Jiang Ziya's approach, believing he couldn't be the most righteous, nor the most evil.
Kindness? Was the great task of bestowing titles upon Jiang Ziya entrusted to him because of his kindness?
Shen Gongbao was unwilling to accept this.
Despite being far more capable than Jiang Ziya in every aspect, no one ever suggested that he take on this great responsibility.
His senior brother is definitely not going to be able to complete the Investiture of the Gods!
So he gave him a push from behind.
Shen Gongbao glanced back at Yang Jiao and slowly said:
"Come and see with your own eyes how Jiang Ziya was killed by the Four Demon Generals, only then can I quell the hatred in my heart!"
