Chapter 239: A Tour of Kunlun

~8 min read 1,565 words

The group stopped teasing and sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, the atmosphere harmonious.

"Grand-nephew, I heard you joined the Jie Sect not long ago. Are you still adapting?" Fairy Han Zhi asked with concern as an elder.

"Thank you, Senior Aunt, for your concern. On Three Immortals Island, I am living very well. With the careful teaching of my master and two Senior Aunts, I have benefited a lot."

Fairy Cai Yun on the side laughed softly: "That's good. You must cultivate hard and don't let down your talent and the painstaking efforts of Senior Sister Yun Xiao."

"Senior Aunt, rest assured, I will." Although he said so, Gu Xiu felt a bit helpless in his heart.

The Jie Sect had many people and was very lively, but his seniority was low, and sometimes he felt like he was surrounded and nagged by aunts and uncles.

At this time, Yun Xiao opened her red lips slightly: "Since the sisters are gathered today, let's not talk about cultivation, just talk about what we've seen and heard. You have met my disciple, so let's go back to our residence and not disturb my disciple's cultivation."

Fairy Han Zhi and Fairy Cai Yun were essentially here for a visit, and after the visit, they were dragged away by Yun Xiao.

Before leaving, Yun Xiao didn't forget to look back at Gu Xiu and instruct: "Gu Xiu, just cultivate well, I won't let outsiders disturb you."

Gu Xiu nodded and answered respectfully: "Master, rest assured, this disciple will."

Bowing to see them off, watching the five people leave, he breathed a sigh of relief instantly.

The path of immortality is cold and bitter, and it's quite good to have so many masters and senior aunts around to care about him.

Left alone, Gu Xiu returned to the stone table and sat down.

He poured himself tea, brought the teacup to his mouth, and took a light sip.

Thinking about the Investiture of the Gods, how to trick Jiang Ziya.

Jiang Ziya did all the hard work in the Chan Sect, pouring tea and water, watering and planting peaches, equivalent to a miscellaneous disciple, with no time to cultivate at all.

Therefore, in a sacred place of immortals like Mount Kunlun, he had cultivated for more than forty years without any achievements.

Yuanshi Tianzun sent him down the mountain to host the Investiture of the Gods on the grounds that he was born with a thin fate and it was difficult for him to become an immortal. Jiang Ziya even cried and shouted that he wanted to stay on Mount Kunlun to cultivate the Dao.

In the end, he conscientiously completed the Investiture of the Gods, but didn't get any benefits, and because he carried too much karma, he couldn't even get a divine position. After death, he entered the endless cycle of reincarnation to repay the karma of the Investiture of the Gods, equivalent to working for free for the Chan Sect and carrying a debt.

"Perhaps I can start from this aspect."

Thinking of this, Gu Xiu immediately removed the major secrets involved in the plot of the Investiture of the Gods according to the plot, and specifically fabricated how the Chan Sect used Jiang Ziya and wanted him to work for free.

Because he was a Taiyi Golden Immortal, he had the content about Jiang Ziya's plot in his mind, and in a single thought, he could imprint the content he wanted to write on the bamboo slips.

After writing it, he checked the content and saw that there was no problem.

Gu Xiu summoned the Water and Fire Qilin, pulled the treasure carriage, flew out of Three Immortals Island, and went to Mount Kunlun.

Chan Sect disciples came to the East Sea from time to time, so it was his turn to go to Mount Kunlun for a stroll.

As long as he found Shen Gongbao and handed the compiled story to Shen Gongbao, and provoked him a few words, the mission would be almost complete.

At the foot of Mount Kunlun.

After Shen Gongbao went down the mountain, he had been secretly observing the situation of the Chan Sect for the past few days.

To avoid being discovered by the mountain guards.

Shen Gongbao had been hiding his tracks.

He was wearing a black robe and moving quietly through the mountains and forests.

"May I ask if you are Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao ahead?"

Behind him, a voice suddenly came, making Shen Gongbao's heart tighten.

He completely restrained his aura, cleverly using the terrain and the cover of trees, every step was silent, yet someone noticed him.

Turning around, he saw Gu Xiu, and his eyes were full of doubt.

"May I ask, Fellow Daoist, who are you?"

"I am someone here to help you." Gu Xiu smiled faintly. He had disguised himself and changed his appearance, looking plain and unremarkable.

But in his heart, he was complaining that Shen Gongbao was worthy of being a leopard spirit transformation; his concealment and aura restraint were very good. If it weren't for the coordinates given by the system, it would have taken him a lot of time to find Shen Gongbao.

Regarding the suddenly appearing Gu Xiu, Shen Gongbao was vigilant: "Fellow Daoist, don't joke. What can you help me with?"

Gu Xiu was not in a hurry at all, his expression calm: "Fellow Daoist Shen, don't disbelieve me. I know you were driven down the mountain and are dissatisfied with Jiang Ziya hosting the Investiture of the Gods and want to destroy it, and I happen to be able to help you achieve your wish."

Shen Gongbao didn't understand how Gu Xiu knew about this, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but soon returned to indifference: "How can I believe you, Fellow Daoist?"

Gu Xiu took out a bundle of jade bamboo slips he had prepared.

"Whether you believe it or not is all in a single thought of Fellow Daoist Shen. However, if you miss this opportunity, Fellow Daoist Shen will have no chance of winning. If Fellow Daoist Shen believes me, just drop this bundle of jade bamboo slips at Jiang Ziya's residence and let him read it."

While speaking, he used his magic power to send the bamboo slips to Shen Gongbao.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, if you are interested, you can also see the content on the bamboo slips. Perhaps you can find a way to deal with Jiang Ziya."

After a pause, Gu Xiu continued: "Remember, to attack a person, first attack the heart. I believe Fellow Daoist Shen will soon understand the meaning of these words."

After saying that, Gu Xiu turned into a stream of light and disappeared from the spot.

Shen Gongbao opened the jade slips and looked at the story written on them.

It was all about how Jiang Ziya was used by the Chan Sect.

It was written in a very realistic way, as if it were true.

Shen Gongbao's eyes lit up.

"Is this what it means to attack a person by attacking the heart? These bamboo slips can definitely destroy the state of mind of that old man Jiang Ziya."

Putting away the bamboo slips, a trace of coldness rose in Shen Gongbao's eyes.

"Hmph, Jiang Ziya, this time I will definitely make you taste my power. What I can't get, don't even think about getting."

Carefully putting away the jade bamboo slips, he secretly went up Mount Kunlun.

Shen Gongbao knew the path of Mount Kunlun by heart, but he was still cautious, avoiding the patrol disciples who might appear.

After arriving at Jiang Ziya's residence, Shen Gongbao observed left and right, and after confirming that there was no one around, he raised his hand and threw the bamboo slips at the door where Jiang Ziya entered and exited daily.

Jiang Ziya returned from watering and planting peaches, and seeing a bundle of bamboo slips at the door, he was very confused.

"Strange, did I accidentally drop the bamboo slips at the door this morning?"

Thinking about it, he picked them up and walked into the house.

Lightly brushing off the dust on his body, he put down the tools in his hand, sat at the table, and placed the jade slips on the table.

Jiang Ziya stared at the jade slips on the table, and the confusion in his heart became heavier.

"These jade bamboo slips look extraordinary in texture, definitely not something I usually use, but where did these bamboo slips come from?"

With confusion, Jiang Ziya reached out to pick up the bamboo slips and opened them slowly.

At first glance, the content inside was nothing, but after looking closely, it was very interesting.

"Is this a biography written by someone? Why is it using the sect name of the Chan Sect and my name?"

"The Jiang Ziya in the book is not valued in the sect and specializes in doing miscellaneous work, which is quite similar to me, but the other party was sent down the mountain to host the Investiture of the Gods, bleeding and sweating for the sect, carrying karma, but in the end, he didn't get any benefits. It's too unfortunate."

It seemed that because of the same name, Jiang Ziya felt a bit empathetic. ===== CHAPTER 240 =====
