Chapter 260

Having obtained the Demon Soul Contract Book, Gu Xiu smiled slightly.

As long as the demons write their names on it and drip their essence blood, the contract is completed.

If the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb write their names on it, they can be controlled.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb doing things behind their backs.

Putting away the contract book, Gu Xiu looked at the official road leading to Zhaoge City, and finally, thirty-odd miles away, saw Wen Zhong leading the army back.

"Finally waited for the person."

Having stayed for a few days, Gu Xiu was a bit annoyed, so he took back his gaze and waited in the city.

Not long after, Wen Zhong's army entered Zhaoge.

Jiang Ziya followed the army, riding a horse in front.

It could be seen that Wen Zhong treated him with courtesy and valued him very much.

Currently, the immortal cultivators of the human race's immortal sects basically all go to the Heavenly Court to serve, enter the establishment, and mix salaries.

The remaining disciples are also focused on cultivation and rarely participate in mortal disputes.

Although Jiang Ziya has not achieved the immortal path, he has learned a few spells in Kunlun over the years, and dealing with some small demons and monsters is no problem. In the army dominated by mortals, he can be considered a rare talent.

Gu Xiu had no intention of seeing Wen Zhong, continued to stay in the restaurant to drink and listen to small tunes, and observed the situation.

The next things were similar to Jiang Ziya's original fate.

Jiang Ziya was appointed as a lower grand master because he assisted Wen Zhong in pacifying the rebellion and had merit, and was also a person of ability and strange arts.

The only difference was that he was appointed as a lower grand master because he assisted Wen Zhong in killing the enemy and pacifying the rebellion, not because he burned the Jade Pipa Spirit in the main hall and showed his ability to be appointed by Di Xin.

Gu Xiu sat by the window in the restaurant, with a pot of mellow wine and an exquisite wine cup on the table.

He glanced at the street outside, held the wine pot, poured it slowly, the clear wine flowed into the cup, then brought the wine cup to his lips, raised his head slightly, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Next, let's see what Jiang Ziya wants to do after coming to Zhaoge and what direction he will develop in. If he deviates from the direction, I have to hoodwink him again."

At this time.

Jiang Mansion.

After Jiang Ziya was appointed as a lower grand master, he was bestowed a house.

Returning to the mansion, looking at the servants busy back and forth, Jiang Ziya fell into deep thought.

"Currently, vassal lords from all over the world have raised troops to rebel, and Zhaoge City is stable, but if the vassal lords continue to rebel, the country will definitely be unstable. Since I have become a minister, I must share the worries for the King."

But once he thought of the content on the scroll, saying that all this was the work of the Chan Sect, Jiang Ziya frowned.

"If it were just demons running rampant outside, with capable people like Grand Preceptor Wen, as long as the King is not muddled, it is not difficult to keep the country. But if this matter really has something to do with the Chan Sect, starting the human world calamity and pushing for the Investiture of the Gods just to eliminate the killing tribulation for the Twelve Golden Immortals, then relying on the Grand Preceptor alone, it is impossible to protect the Yin-Shang."

Having stayed on Kunlun Mountain for more than forty years, Jiang Ziya knew very well how terrifying the means of immortals were.

Thinking that he was just a pawn of the Chan Sect for the Investiture of the Gods, Jiang Ziya felt unwilling.

Regarding the hints on the scroll, Jiang Ziya had always been brooding.

"Saying that my sworn brother is someone else, then I will visit and confirm it."

Thinking of this, Jiang Ziya immediately went to the south gate of Zhaoge, thirty-five miles away, to Song Family Village, to visit his sworn brother Song Yiren.

According to his memory, Jiang Ziya came to his sworn brother's house.

He originally thought that after forty years, things had changed, perhaps Song Yiren no longer lived here, or had moved.

But Jiang Ziya found that he was overthinking. Song Yiren's residence was the same as his memory forty years ago, unchanged.

"Brother's family is wealthy and has many industries in Zhaoge. After so many years, the place where he lives is exactly the same as forty years ago, without any change, which is surprising."

Jiang Ziya went up and knocked on the door, and a servant opened the door.

After stating his purpose, the servant went back to report.

After a while, a man of medium build, slightly fat, very rich, and kind-looking walked out.

Looking at Jiang Ziya, the other party looked at him twice: "Are you Ziya?"

Jiang Ziya looked at the person who was wearing a wide robe, combing a neat hairstyle, and inserting a jade hairpin on it.

Always remembering the content on the scroll, Song Yiren was not his sworn brother, and his sworn brother passed away ten years ago.

Seeing the Song Yiren in front of him, he was the same as in his memory forty years ago, which further verified the words in the scroll.

But the other party was so enthusiastic, Jiang Ziya couldn't show any abnormality, and opened his mouth: "Are you my elder brother, Song Yiren?"

Seeing that he had matched the number, Song Yiren was overjoyed.

"Ziya, it's really you. I didn't believe it when I heard the servant say it was you. Come in quickly."

Jiang Ziya didn't think much and followed Song Yiren inside.

Outside Song Mansion.

Gu Xiu had been paying attention to this scene.

Song Yiren was Jiang Ziya's sworn brother. Jiang Ziya was over seventy years old, and it was only after practicing the Dao that Jiang Ziya was so tough at this age.

Song Yiren was a mortal, but looked younger than Jiang Ziya.

In the original fate, a person who hadn't seen each other for forty years, Jiang Ziya came to seek refuge, and he gave money to open a shop, introduced work, and introduced a marriage, which was very suspicious.

Opening the Heavenly Eye and Heavy Pupils, he intended to see what secrets Song Yiren had, and the result made Gu Xiu a bit surprised.

Song Yiren was a white bone, having died long ago, just a puppet forcibly resurrected by someone using supernatural powers.

Gu Xiu shook his head.

"It seems that in order to lay out the Investiture of the Gods, the Chan Sect really took great pains to ensure that Jiang Ziya would not be helpless when he went down the mountain."

He also looked at the conversation between Jiang Ziya and Song Yiren.

Song Yiren originally wanted Jiang Ziya to live in the Song family and then introduce him to a marriage.

Hearing that Jiang Ziya was appointed as a lower grand master and had a house in the city, he was slightly stunned.

Kunlun Mountain.

Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun was meditating on a prayer mat, opened his eyes slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He immediately summoned the White Crane Boy and called the Antarctic Immortal over.

"Teacher, are you looking for Disciple; is there something to order?" The Antarctic Immortal entered the Jade Void Palace and bowed slightly.

Yuanshi Tianzun said indifferently: "Just now, while meditating, I suddenly felt something wrong. It seems that there is a problem with Jiang Ziya's side again. You go and see what the problem is."

"Yes, Teacher."

The Antarctic Immortal bowed slightly and retreated.

Out of the Jade Void Palace, he frowned slightly.

"What problem is there with Jiang Ziya again? Could it be that he went to peep at someone bathing and was caught again?"

The Antarctic Immortal sighed.

"Really not making people worry."

Just as he wanted to go to Zhaoge to find Jiang Ziya, he met the Yellow Dragon Immortal.

"Senior Martial Brother Antarctic, seeing you looking worried, could it be that something happened again? If there is anything I can help with, Senior Martial Brother, just order it."

The Yellow Dragon Immortal walked up with enthusiasm.

Although he was one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, Yellow Dragon was not valued in the Chan Sect and was discriminated against everywhere.

The rest of the Twelve Golden Immortals could get the complete inheritance of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Not only did he not get a magic treasure when he became a disciple, but even the complete inheritance was not passed on by Yuanshi Tianzun, only symbolically passing on the Jade Pure Immortal Method to him, and did not pass on the rest of the inheritance at all.

Knowing that he was an alien and not liked, Yellow Dragon had always performed conscientiously, wanting to get the attention of Yuanshi Tianzun.

The arrival of the Investiture of the Gods gave him an opportunity, and he intended to perform well in the Investiture of the Gods to accumulate merit, so that maybe he would get the attention of Yuanshi Tianzun.

The Antarctic Immortal naturally knew Yellow Dragon's thoughts and refused.

"Junior Martial Brother Yellow Dragon, Teacher gave me some things to do. It's just a small matter. I will run it myself."

Yellow Dragon originally wanted to say that a small matter should be found for him, but the Antarctic Immortal had already stepped on auspicious clouds and left.
