Chapter 254

After reading the content on the scroll, Jiang Ziya frowned.

"This scroll states that the wise ruler the Chan Sect wants me to assist is the Western Earl Ji Chang? But Ji Chang is also just a pawn; the person I really need to assist is his second son, Ji Fa?"

"The rebellions everywhere in the mortal world are the work of the Chan Sect, with the purpose of weakening the fortune of the Yin-Shang so as to assist West Qi in raising an army to rebel."

"This time, letting me go down the mountain is mainly to let me see the scene of living beings suffering under the rule of the Yin-Shang, so that I can go to preside over the Investiture of the Gods with peace of mind?"

Jiang Ziya looked at the content on the scroll, his heart trembling.

"When I return to Kunlun, will Teacher give me the Investiture of the Gods list and the God-Beating Whip?"

"And even the fact that I have a sworn elder brother in the mortal world is known?"

Last time he went down the mountain, Jiang Ziya went to West Kunlun with Shen Gongbao and never went to the mortal world.

After reading the content on the scroll, Jiang Ziya suddenly wanted to go to the mortal world to see if it was as the scroll said.

At this time, the scroll in his hand suddenly emitted golden light. When the light dissipated, it turned into a golden letter.

Jiang Ziya hurriedly opened it to look. The previous content gradually disappeared before his eyes, replaced by a new line of words:

【If you intend to go to Zhaoge to seek refuge with your sworn elder brother, there is no need. He is a mortal who passed away ten years ago. The person there now is not your sworn elder brother, but someone else in disguise.】

【Everything is the Chan Sect's layout for the Investiture of the Gods. It is better to go to the places where rebellions are happening first, and it won't be too late to go to Zhaoge.】

Jiang Ziya's eyes were surprised. Having practiced in Kunlun for more than forty years, he initially thought that he should have no relatives in the mortal world, but when he calculated, he found that there was still a former sworn elder brother alive, and he was planning to seek refuge with him.

"Even what I thought is known, and my sworn elder brother passed away ten years ago, and the person there now is not my sworn elder brother?"

After reading it, Jiang Ziya's heart was in chaos, and he muttered: "Who wrote this? Could everything really be as it says?"

He thought for a while.

"In that case, I will go to various places to see if it is really as it says, that there are many demons mixed in the rebel army, and it won't be too late to go to Zhaoge."

Thinking of this, Jiang Ziya straightened his clothes and walked down the mountain.

Walking alone on the rugged mountain road, Jiang Ziya had many thoughts in his heart.

Recalling the years on Kunlun Mountain, those arduous practices, the result was wasting half his life, and he basically learned nothing.

Now at an old age, he could only go down the mountain to end his life.

Not knowing how long he walked, he finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.

In front of him was a vast land, and Jiang Ziya chose a direction to walk at random.

Stepping into the mortal world again after many years, he was curious about everything.

Not long after, Jiang Ziya arrived at a village.

He saw that the surroundings were desolate, weeds grew in the fields, and there was no sign of life.

The village was cold and clear, and occasionally he could see a few sallow and thin villagers, their eyes full of fear and despair.

He stepped forward to ask, and learned that many people had died due to the war.

There were many demons mixed in the rebel army, specifically doing things like burning, killing, and looting.

Jiang Ziya's brows were tightly locked, and he quickened his pace toward a rebel vassal's fief.

Along the way, smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and finally, Jiang Ziya arrived at the place of rebellion.

The scene before him made him gasp. The city walls were dilapidated, piles of corpses like mountains were at the city gate, and the air was filled with a nauseating smell of blood.

The city was even more chaotic, with the rebel army wantonly slaughtering the common people, and many demons mixed in.

Jiang Ziya's eyes widened in anger, he pinched a spell in his hand, and used the superficial magic he learned in the Jade Void Palace to attack the demons in front.

Kunlun Mountain.

Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun was sitting on a prayer mat meditating, and saw the Antarctic Immortal return.

He spoke slowly.

"Antarctic, how did the matter go?"

"Teacher, Disciple has already taken Jiang Ziya away from the West Queen Mother Palace. After this incident, Jiang Shang should have learned his lesson and will not act recklessly."

Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes were calm, his tone indifferent: "That is good. After he stays in the mortal world for a year or two, guide him to West Qi."

"Teacher, rest assured, leave this matter to Disciple."

Three Immortals Island.

Gu Xiu used the Great Dao Storybook to compile the story of hoodwinking Jiang Ziya.

He didn't stop until the system prompted that the task was completed.

Looking at the ten Ginseng Fruits in the space column, Gu Xiu was very satisfied.

He immediately summoned Yang Jian and Yang Chan.

"Master, I wonder if you summoned Third Sister and me; is there something you want us to do?"

"I summoned you because I have good things for you."

While the two were curious, Gu Xiu took out two Ginseng Fruits.

Looking at the Ginseng Fruits that looked like babies but emitted a strange fragrance, and from which they could feel the surging life energy, Yang Jian and Yang Chan's eyes were full of doubt.

"Master, what kind of fruit is this? Why does it look like a newborn baby?"

Yang Chan also cast a curious gaze. This was the first time in her life she had seen such fruit.

Gu Xiu said indifferently: "This is the Ginseng Fruit, the fruit borne by the Ginseng Fruit Tree, one of the ten great innate spiritual roots."

"It blooms every three thousand years, bears fruit every three thousand years, and only matures after another three thousand years. It only bears thirty fruits each time."

"Those who are fated can live for three hundred and sixty years by smelling one, and can live for forty-seven thousand years by eating one."

Hearing this, Yang Jian said brightly: "There is actually such a magical fruit in the world?"

Gu Xiu nodded and smiled: "This is for you. You each have one."

Yang Jian and Yang Chan took the Ginseng Fruits with joy and couldn't help but observe them.

Thinking of the characteristics of the Ginseng Fruit, Gu Xiu reminded: "The Ginseng Fruit fears the five elements. It falls when it meets gold, withers when it meets wood, dissolves when it meets water, scorches when it meets fire, and enters when it meets earth. You must hold them well."

"I didn't expect it to have this characteristic. Master, rest assured, Third Sister and I will be careful." Yang Jian said.

Yang Chan nodded, her beautiful face full of joy: "Thank you, Immortal, for bestowing the divine fruit."

Gu Xiu smiled gently: "Taste it quickly."

Following that, Yang Chan took a light bite. The fruit flesh melted in her mouth, and a sweet and fragrant juice spread in her mouth. The surging life force instantly rushed to her limbs and bones.

Yang Chan chewed slowly, guiding this energy into her meridians and circulating it through the Great Cycle.

Seeing this, Yang Jian also took a bite and began to evaluate it.

"Master, the taste of this fruit is indeed good, and as sensed, it contains powerful life essence. It is indeed a rare spiritual object."

Gu Xiu smiled.

Seeing them eating happily, he also took out a Ginseng Fruit to eat.

Gu Xiu didn't know if it could increase his lifespan. He was now a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Once he stepped into the Golden Immortal realm, he could be immortal. If there was no external calamity, he could live as long as heaven and earth, but the fruit was just very delicious.

Following that, Gu Xiu went to find the Three Xiao Sisters.

On the way, he saw a beautiful figure in the sky, interacting with a flower-feathered bird.

Looking closely, it was Bi Xiao.

In the sky, Bi Xiao displayed immortal magic, summoned clusters of auspicious clouds, then stepped lightly onto the clouds, shuttling between the sea of clouds.

Laughing and playing, her figure was light.

Noticing Gu Xiu watching her from below, Bi Xiao waved at him mischievously.

Gu Xiu thought about it and flew up too.

After approaching Bi Xiao, Gu Xiu smiled: "Junior Martial Aunt, you are very carefree."

Bi Xiao giggled, her crisp laughter pleasant to the ear: "Stop teasing. Why did you come here? Could it be that you are looking for Big Sister?"
